> I think it's exactly that, the UK has never had this so people there either choose by brand or just convenience.

We've had it for years (as noted in other comments there's a few different people like the RAC, AA and Petrolprices.com all maintaining their own lists - a quick check of my email has messages from the latter going back to 2011). The new part is that this is from the government and the data is freely accessible (Petrolprices in particular covered their pages in ads, so I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to exchange money for the data).

The context to this is that, especially since the pandemic, there's been a complaint with the Competition and Markets Authority that the petrol stations were quick to raise prices, slow to lower them, and weren't competing with each other[1]:

> The CMA found that retail prices tended to "rise like a rocket, but fall like a feather" in response to increases or decreases in the cost of crude oil.

Independent petrol stations have virtually disappeared and you don't have to look too hard to see that in an area they tend to all raise or lower their prices in virtual lockstep. Gathering this data would make the case significantly easier if the next step were that some of the petrol station operators had to be broken up to encourage more competition.

Edit: Petrolprices was founded in 2005 (!) [2]

Space manufacturing is a real thing, there are already companies trialling it. The factory is small, satellite sized, and it deorbits when the manufacturing run is done. The results are protected enough for them to be picked up from Earth.

The justification (today) is that you can do very exotic things in zero-G that aren't possible on Earth. Growing ultra-pure crystals and fibre optics and similar.

There are lots of threats to all human beings on the planet. You are simply taking the view that the thing you personally see as the biggest threat is therefore the thing that everyone else should see as the biggest threat (they won't) and agree with your view (they will not), casting your view of the world as the single truth (it isn't), then further presenting it in a ultimatum-based combative manner, asserting that other people take action based on your narrow definition (they won't).

This prevents any reasonable discourse so is unlikely to be successful, no matter how dogmatically or assertively you present your case. Others will simply perceive it as unreasonable, I suspect.

This doesn't mean that you can't still believe it to be true - it just means that others will not engage with the points you mention, and you'll then end up being more isolated and frustrated.

"I thought part of the learning process is really engaging with the cards"

I would substitute "the material" for "the cards" in this sentence. Making the cards yourself is one way to do that, but it's not always the most time effective - imagine the extra work put onto a medical student having to make the cards for every subject they need to cover. That is what ankihub does and it seems to be very popular

But yeah: downloading the median deck off of ankiweb: very sub-optimal

Better hope you didn't have a rename in progress with the old name removed without the new name in place. Or a directory entry written pointing to a FAT chain not yet committed to the FAT.

Yes, soft updates style write ordering can help with some of the issues, but the Linux driver doesn't do that. And some of the issues are essentially unavoidable, requiring a a full fsck on each unclean shutdown.

ChatGPT cant do the precise photoshop tasks, not even close, infact the quality of output is worse than quality of input almost always. Ofc we live in this low quality internet now, so you may already be used to terribly edited images by AI.

>You don't need a whole dev team to build a one-off tool for a specific job, which is probably 90% of the demand for those software products. LLMs are becoming the general-purpose tool for a lot of use cases.

No, all of these tools have 90+% revenue coming from B2B sales, consumers dont buy software products anyway. All of the software purchases are tax deductible so corporations buy even if they use very little of it.

You can't easily use low grade heat.

However there are workarounds. People are talking like the only radiator design is the one on the ISS. There are other ways to build radiators. It's all about surface area. One way is to heat up a liquid and then spray it openly into space on a level trajectory towards a collecting dish. Because the liquid is now lots of tiny droplets the surface area is huge, so they can radiate a lot of heat. You don't need a large amount of material as long as you can scoop up the droplets the other end of the "pipe" and avoid wasting too much. Maybe small amounts of loss are OK if you have an automated space robot that goes around docking with them and topping them up again.

okay, so this is not so big to many of you , but today , i was just bored and tired of doing any marketing , cos nothing seemed to have been working. so i decided to do a search (i searched for quite a number of keywords) like error tracking for supabase , error tracking for next Js , but my saas didnt rank (if you dont know what im building , im working on a dead simple error tracker that notifies you when something breaks in prod, no bloated dashboards or config hell) , i built this cos sentry had too much noise and i just wanted something that lets me know when there's an issue in prod.

so i decided to do a search on "error tracking for shipfast(by marc lou)" and guess what ?? Bugmail was the first recommended result , now i dont know how this worked, i mean ive done some seo and stuff but i wasnt expecting it , and now i feel like im back , which is funny cos i didnt make a sale , i didnt onboard a new user yet i feel like o have conquered , life of a founder , i guess

i just wanted to share this here, also if you have any advice on how to rank higher on GSC and how to nail this marketing thing , any advice or feedback will be valuable

in the meantime , incase you want to check out what ive built;

you can check it out here ; https://www.bugmail.site

Open source is not open contribution. There are many examples of open source, but closed contribution, e.g. SQLite.

What you are listing is a business strategy of a company (free labor and advertising). Desires of a company are very different from an unpaid volunteer.

In projects that leave PRs unanswered, the maintainer is already unpaid labor, but contributor want him to work on the contribution. That might not align with what maintainer wants.

Edit: Personally, I find reviewing least pleasant part of dev work. Thanks to LLMs, that now also significantly more of my paid work. My desire to do code reviews in my free time is massively lower. I would rather do it myself.

There is a historical tide rolling in and out of presidential power. We’re currently in a high-power executive moment that began with the AUMF for Bush 2. The courts and Congress can act to curtail that authority somewhat and hopefully will. But a lot of the EO activity is ultimately just performative unconstitutional action that will be reversed, damaging as that process may be.

> Customers simply don't care. I don't recall a single complain about RAM or disk usage of my Electron-based app to be reported in the past 10 years.

Nothing is worse than reading something like this. A good software developer cares. It’s wrong to assume customers don't care simply because they don't know what's going on under the hood. Considering the downsides and the resulting side effects (latency, more CPU and RAM consumption, fans spinning etc.), they definitely do care. For example, Microsoft has been using React components in their UI, thinking customers wouldn’t care, but as we have been seeing lately, they do care.
by fix4fun | 2026-02-03 09:28:01+00:00
Yes, that's true, because as developer you have to check if "generated" code meet your standards and if is handling all edge cases you see.

When you are an experienced developer and you "struggle" writing manually some code this is important warning indicator about project architecture - that something is wrong in it.

For such cases I like to step back and think about redesign/refactor.
When coding goes smoothly, some "unpredicted" customer changes can be added easly into project then it is the best indicator that architecture is fine.

That's my humble human opinion ;)

I'm working on Valgrind on macOS, integrating Louis Brunner's work and trying to add a few more fixes. In 2025 support for macOS Intel 10.14, 10.15 11 and 12 was added. Intel macOS 13 is a bit harder of a nut to crack. And I have lots of issues with ARM, particularly building and testing on anything older that macOS 15.

Swift name-mangling will be an issue. Valgrind's name demangler comes from GNU binutils libiberty which does not support Swift AFAIK.

While I _theoretically_ agree with you, what you are saying is not realistic given the current constraints.

> What should be done about it is to provide full, unconditional support for Ukraine; even better, close the skies and send an expeditionary force to help them push the russians out.

Sure, it sounds easy. And if it were easy, I'm sure it'd be done already. But - do we even have an efficient way of defending against drone warfare? Are we ready for eventual Russian response? Civilian victims in Tallinn or Warsaw? Retaliatory strikes that flatten what is left of Ukrainian energy infrastructure? How far would you be willing to take it?

> Ultimately, the best guarantee of European security is to ensure that Ukraine utterly defeats russia

One doesn't defeat Russia militarily, even if it weren't a nuclear power. The only way to defeat them is to sow instability from within, which is what they so successfully have been doing to us in the last 25 years.

> That our European leaders refuse to do anything decisive is the absolute nadir of incompetence and cowardice

What are they supposed to do? The far-right, supported by both Russia and the US, is already polling at 35% all over Europe. Any decisive action carries an enormous cost that will have to paid by the European population that is already feeling the effects of inflation.

As an example, the new Dutch government is introducing a special income tax, raising the pension age and taking billions away from the healthcare system in order to finance increased defence spending. That's the sort of compromises that pushes people even further to far-right populists, and that's without actually doing anything.

The alternative, to tax wealth instead of income, seems to be unspeakable.

Show HN: DNA Platform – A School for Outliers
by thaianhsoft | 2026-02-03 09:28:50+00:00
Hi HN. Go ahead, laugh at my GitHub stars or my English. But look again.

Act 1: The Hallway 7 years ago, I drove a motorbike taxi to feed my child while learning CS on a $200 laptop. There's a night I'll never forget. My wife was giving birth. I needed money for the bill. So I sat in the hospital hallway, coding a freelance job while the delivery room door was closed. I kept coding to survive.

Act 2: The Rejection & The Promise Last year, Pulumi rejected me for a Senior SDK role due to "Wrong Region", despite liking my manifesto. So I made a promise: I will build it myself. I wrote a reactive IaC SDK from scratch: Drift detection, React Hooks for infrastructure, K8s reconcile, Actor model. GitHub: reactor-cor/reactor-dev EC2 Demo

Act 3: The Silent Validation Early 2025. I faced the local giants.

Education Giant: Interviewed me for 3 hours. I solved their production deadlocks live. Rejected because "We need a degree."

EV Tech Giant: I applied for Principal Engineer with my private IaC SDK repo linked in the CV. They ghosted me. But the next day: That private repo got 13 unique clones from their corporate IPs. They didn't hire the person. They just quietly studied the architecture. It was the ultimate silent validation: Good enough to copy, not good enough to hire.

The Graduation Project: DNA Platform So I spent the last 2 months fasting (literally) to build a home for outliers.

Backend: Python (Litestar) + KVrock (Disk-based Redis).

Storage: Custom Atomic Transactions (Lua scripts) to handle concurrency without a heavy Cloud DB.

AI: OctaCoreIndexer running locally. Semantic search routes users by "Vibe" (Emotion), not keywords.

Why It Exists? Because at 3 AM in a hospital hallway, you don't need Likes. You need to exist without performing.

Scenes: Capture a mood/weather. No likes/comments. Just existence.

Chat Routing: When drowning at 3 AM, it routes you to someone with a compatible vibe. Anonymous.

AI Therapy: Gives "contrast therapy" (hard truths), not echoes.

The Paradox Society rejected me for credentials but copied my code for value. So I built this platform for the ones in between. This is our school. Code is our diploma.

The Ending To the outliers in small rooms: We are the same. Check the code. Judge the architecture. That's the only exam that matters.

> Oh wait, that didn’t actually happen

Not sure how you can say that. Nothing lasts forever, especially in the face of Chinese market dumping, but for a while there Tesla really was the undisputed king of EV manufacturing, that flywheel is how he got there, he did release all the patents because he said from day one he didn't anticipate or aim for 100% market share for Tesla and assumed there'd always be lots of EV manufacturers in future. All that sounds like - mission accomplished?

As for Waymo being ahead, maybe today. But Waymo's tech stack is largely pre-DL, they rely heavily on unscalable techniques like LIDAR and continuous mapping. Tesla is betting big on the "scale up neural networks" model we know works well and their FSD can drive everywhere. They're perhaps behind Waymo in some ways, but they're also in different markets - Waymo won't sell anyone a self driving car and Tesla will. I wouldn't count them out. Their trajectory is the right one.

> I’m not sure why anyone should bet on Elon pulling it off.

PayPal, SpaceX existing at all, then doing reusable rockets, Tesla, FSD, large scale battery manufacturing, Starlink, X ("he can't fire 80% of employees it'll crash immediately"), robotics, training a SOTA LLM in mere months to the extent that even Jensen Huang was shocked ... the man consistently pulls things off in the face of huge skepticism. How many examples does it take before people start taking the guy seriously? Infinity examples?

Good point. C's "freestanding" mode, analogous to Rust's nostd, does not provide any functions at all, just some type definitions and constants which obviously evaporate when compiled. Rust's nostd not only can compute how long a string is, it can unstably sort a slice, do atomic operations if they exist on your hardware, lots of fancy stuff but as a consequence even nostd has an actual library of code, a similar but maybe less organized situation occurs in C++. Most of the time this is simply better, why hand write your own crap sort when your compiler vendor can just provide an optimised sort for your platform? But on very, very tiny systems this might be unaffordable.

Anyway, C doesn't have Rust's core versus std distinction and so libc is a muddle of both the "Just useful library stuff" like strlen or qsort and features like open which are bound to the operating system specifics.

> So it's a bit weird to me. A large part of me thinks I should have written five novels instead.

A bit anecdotally but when I built this website (and this is something that I commented to another commentor in here but wanted to share it again),is that I had the same weird feeling you can say (although to write blogs instead)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46828331

"I guess I can write it but I already write like this in HN. The procastination of writing specifically in a blog is something which hits me.

Is it just me or is it someone else too? Because on HN I can literally write like novels (or I may have genuinely written enough characters of a novel here, I might have to test it or something lol, got a cool idea right now to measure how many novels a person has written from just their username, time to code it)"

I literally got the idea comparing that I may have written some novel (0.66 of GOT here :) quite a lot less than you but still)

Personally, I like to think that HN definitely helped me with grammar and definitely lots of aspects & also you don't have to think of it as an if-else.

You know how to put in the efforts of writing! You have written 5,09,412 words (just searched through it) and I feel like somewhere my point is that you are capable of writing. You know how to put in the efforts within writing & I feel as if, if writing novels is something that interests you (as I remember your novel idea from another comment you have written here :]) . You are definitely capable of writing & I really suggest for you to go through it and have the confidence to do such!

Good luck writing my friend! :]

> I just looked it up, and apparently War and Peace is about 590,000 words. A book that is a joke in every 90's cartoon as something "really heavy to drop on someone's head", and apparently I've written almost that much arguing with people on a programmers forum.

To be honest, I find it funny how people from outside programming (who might not know programming so much) think that its all the same but in reality we see the amount of nuance through such forums. I really found it funny to think upon.

And to be honest, the things which we argue, where I feel like we expose each other to new nuanced opinions & solidify our opinions by some evidence etc. is something which I really appreciate.

I use Hackernews a bit differently where I use it as a way to expose to new github projects (usually) & I found the ability to find Open source projects (or create when there are none, this project's MIT licensed also I wouldn't call myself author now thinking about it given that I essentially used LLM to write it so time to redact saying I am author or similar xD)

But my point is, that I have found so many great open source projects & communicated with many interesting people which would've been hard to do so without this forum so a bit feeling greatful for this community! Thanks Hackernews <3 (Much love)

> Is this really that hard to type?

Your link is irrelevant.
It points to OpenBSD which uses rc, not sysv.
The 3 lines of this rc startup script use a file of 400 lines of shell with commands that don't exist in SysVinit.

With sysv, the difficulty depended on the local tools because the launching scripts could not be shared across Linux distributions. Debian used the compiled helper `start-stop-daemon` while Redhat did not.

With sysv, some sysadmin tasks require external tools. Try to write a launching script with a smart autorestart in case of crash. Make it work even when the daemon forks. Do not assume that the daemon writes its initial PID anywhere. IIRC, to get this feature, we had to drop sysv for runit, two decades ago. Now it's just 2 lines in a systemd unit.
