I didn't realize microsoft was in the "protect freedoms" business. That's worrying. Last time someone tried to "protect freedoms", millions of innocent people's lives were destroyed.

I'd have more respect for these people if they were honest. Say we want to sell war tech for money because it's good business. After all microsoft is a business right?

Congestion doesn't drive maintenance costs. It may drive infrastructure needs but that is an entirely different problem, and one which taxing conpanies such as Uber and Lyft actually help to lower.
As a German, I can assure you that every person I know, including old people, eats Pizza more often than any of the dishes on this list.

The listed foods are the answer to some question, but it is one subtly different from “what people eat”.

Which is kind of disappointing: I actually clicked hoping someone had seen this happen before, and decided to somehow collect data to answer the question “what do people actually eat?”

Instead of just regurgitating stereotypes, it would reveal how connected the world has become. And yet, it could highlight the actually interesting differences, such as the myriad different interpretations of Chinese dishes, or meat-in-bread.

You should have a look at the old IBM Hollerith machines. Although I think they count as electro-mechanical.

> a real barrier for mechanical computers doesn't really exist, and we didn't have it simply because it was not economically worthwhile to build one after electronic computers were feasible

Bit of both: electronics is easier to miniturise, and as a result of that it's easier to manufacture, easier to maintain, lighter, and consumes less power.

Speed of operation of a mechanical computer is limited by the acceleration of the parts.
Is this some kind of joke? If the taxes already cover 25% of the expenses then adding 1000x on top means you would tax 249 times more than you need. To make it fair you first have to give truck fuel an adequate tax (so it covers 100%) and then divide this tax by 1000 for light vehicles.
In my experience watching regular (not even necessarily elderly) people use web sites and apps, the "hamburger" menu icon is practically never understood. Even the "X" (close) icon is often overlooked, particularly if the lines are very thin (in accordance with current aesthetics): "So why don't you search for shoes now?" - "There's something blocking the page, so I'm waiting for it to disappear." (It was one of these obnoxious "Please sign up for our newsletter" modals.) I am increasingly convinced that the only icons that are more or less universally understood are Rewind, Play, Pause, and Forward (within appropriate context).

The question is, though: Unless the specific icon is reasonably well-understood or visually striking, why would you even add an icon when you already have the label? It's just more noise for the visual system to parse.

My original point, however, was that if you can't use more space for your German translation than the English word "cart" takes up, I would still rather understand the cart icon than the mentioned abbreviations. (Obviously, it would be preferable to solve the underlying issue of a fixed layout.)
Show HN: ElectronCGI – Cross Platform .Net Core GUIs with Electron
ElectronCGI is a library that enables making requests from a NodeJs application that are served by a .Net application.

It uses the standard in/out streams for communication.

To use it install the electron-cgi npm package on you node application and the ElectronCgi.DotNet nuget package on your .Net console app.

Here's an example:

In NodeJs/Electron:

const { ConnectionBuilder } = require('electron-cgi');

const connection = new ConnectionBuilder()
.connectTo('dotnet', 'run', '--project', 'DotNetConsoleProjectWithElectronCgiDotNetNugetPackage')
.build();

connection.onDisconnect = () => {
console.log('Lost connection to the .Net process');
};

connection.send('greeting', 'John', theGreeting => {
console.log(theGreeting); // will print "Hello John!"
});

connection.close();

And in the .Net Console Application:

using ElectronCgi.DotNet;

//...
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var connection = new ConnectionBuilder()
.WithLogging()
.Build();

// expects a request named "greeting" with a string argument and returns a string
connection.On<string, string>("greeting", name =>
{
return $"Hello {name}!";
});

// wait for incoming requests
connection.Listen();
}

I think the reverse-stealing trojan horse fear was real: I think the amount of "yea lets be more mac-like" would have drowned under the "but I can play more games" emerging force of DOS. DOS gave birth to something compelling for home use, mac was better, but not enough to attract the moment of change in young minds. I wanted neither of them but the CP/M upshift to a UNIX world was not going to happen (for a long, long time)

That is not true. Road gets you to where the road serves, just like rail. With a good enough coverage, virtually all transportation needs are met.
There's nothing at all stopping Dublin from being much more dense than it is, and there's no need whatsoever to build high to do it.

Huge gains could be made by bringing more 'above the shop' units into use. Vacancy and dereliction are massive issues, both in the city centre and further out - tackling that through vacant site levies or compulsory purchase orders would be huge. Regulating the abuse of AirBnB could bring a few thousand rental units in the city back into long-term use practically overnight.

As far as building new stock goes, everything is too expensive because land is too expensive. Development land around the city has been stockpiled and hoarded for decades, creating artificial scarcity and driving up prices. It's basically impossible to make a profit on reasonably dense, reasonably priced, two or three bed apartment schemes in Dublin. The SCSI and PII have good reports on this if you want to look them up. It's nearly always more profitable (and easier) to just sit on the land rather than actually develop it. The reason all the nightclubs are being replaced by hotels is a result of this: hotels are a lot more commercially viable than almost any other form of development right now. (Hotel beds in Dublin had over 90% occupancy rates last summer - they're bursting and demand is massive.)

The majority of new residential building happens in the outer suburbs and commuter belt, from Lucan to Navan. Just 31 (!!!) new homes were built in Dublin 1 (the very centre of the city) in 2018.

Apartments made up just 13% of new builds in the state last year. The apartments we do build are, on average, smaller, darker, less well serviced, and more expensive than almost any other European city. The apartments built between 1995 and 2008 are riddled with issues, from fire safety to damp to electrics. I think that accounts for a lot of Irish people's apparent antipathy towards apartment living, much more than any nonsense about an inherent desire for a semi-d with a garden.

Rents are expensive because of an increase in the numbers renting (doubled in last decade); because the rent-certainty regulation is weak or non-existent; because tenure security does not exist; because build-to-rent is expensive to develop; because REITs and larger commercial landlords are soaking up all supply and charging as much as they can. Take your pick. It's a mess.

Sorry to go on, but I just finished a six-month deep dive on the reasons behind the housing crisis in Dublin and there is just so much misinformation out there, it's frustrating.

P.S. In case anyone wants to hear more, I made a four-episode podcast series about this, the final episode of which just went up today:

Ask HN: How to commercialize machine learning based photo im
So supposing I have thought of a novel(ish) idea for reprocessing images, which if incorporated into a photo gallery app would improve photos. Maybe only a little, but enough that a mobile phone manufacturer could tout it as a selling feature.

It needs some machine learning work to be done, which is similar, but not identical to some papers that I have found on the internet.

What's the best way to go about monetizing such an idea? Find a hire a lawyer to create an NDA, machine learning image processing consulant, then get a patent, then try to sell the company to FaceGooSamsung??

Hardware was never the bottleneck there. The systems could cost a hundred times that and it would still be a rounding error on the capex of even the smallest "real" business.

The obstacle to using custom hardware and software in local biz is and has always been, the fact that by relying on it, the one guy who knows how to administer it all becomes the single point of failure for the whole business.

No amount of tooling can save them from that. So local biz will always be beholden to the Oracles of the world, because smart individuals just can't be relied on.

Businesses need to rely on other businesses. A business with a customer service departments and spare stock on hand. K3s or k8s might be used in the technology product offered by such a business, but this by itself won't change the economics of that market.

Sorry the link was incorrect. I think the actual reason is dlls are versioned individually and it needs to pick the superset version on each update, including optional fixes installed that may depends on hardware etc. Can't find the right link though.

It's interesting to use the original NeXT interface after all these years. Honestly I feel I could be very happy with a modern desktop that stuck to the NeXT principles, just updated text rendering to modern standards.

2-bit greyscale is good enough for UI widgets, especially now that we have high-DPI displays and don't necessarily need edge antialiasing anymore for vector graphics.

Text labels on menus and buttons is such an improvement over the undecipherable "flat school" icons that are currently used everywhere.

GA surely delivers that data to google, and tries to correlate through a GA specific domain.

Now, they might not provide it to the site owner unless they opt in (to also share it with DoubleClick or whatnot), and they might pinky swear not to use it (though I have never seen that promise myself).

But using GA, a site makes your naive browser send all that data to google. Why would you assume it is not being used? Does it matter if for now it is only directly visible to google?

I have the same thing, but I rarely use these webshops; don't the recommendations diversify if your shopping behaviour diversifies? I mean if you only order a pack of AA batteries directly as mentioned in another thread, the system only has that to go on.

That's too bad. In my middle school we had an instructor who was really passionate about computers, and the kids in his class.

This was '93-95. The majority of the computers were monochrome Macs, but his instructor machine was a color computer. We did Hypercard, and other bits I've since forgotten.

What I can remember is buying tons of floppies (which I might still have - I did a couple years ago) and staying after school to play Bolo. With his color computer, and practice, he kicked the rest of our butts in the game. Floppies were to store the 'Brains' that we got off the internet, as well as maps we had made, or that we got online.

I know for me that initial foray into computers, something we wouldn't have in our house until late high school, lead to me working on web sites late at night (AOL's HTML documentation being how I learned basic HTML), which lead me to not taking any computer classes in college, but still ending up as a web developer by trade (15+ years professionally).

High school was definitely a difference experience; DOS machines at the time, with Apples being in a different room later, that were taught primarily as word processors.

Unlike middle school, I believe we got in trouble when we tried to play games (Hexen being one of them) after class.
It's easier for them to ship Pop!_OS with FDE, because they have their own OEM style installer for Pop!_OS that's specifically suited for this type of thing. This is one of the reasons that Pop!_OS exists.

Since they offer both, I can't imaging you'd have any issues with their support due to running ubuntu instead of Pop.

these are the top keywords that indicate a food (i.e.:no supermarket ) brands

this allignes much more with my experience than the toeat.in list.

Sure, but it is eaten by locals far more often than Sauerbraten. But it makes for a boring browsing experience to put McDonalds in the top 10 for every country, no matter how correct it probably is.

The submission title should be changed to "Discover what other tourists eat all around the world" IMO.
Interesting approach! Reminds of an option my group considered a couple years ago, where we purposely didn't set up read replicas, but considered failure to connect/read of the master as a 'C' failure. Hashing keys to multiple masters and we had "highly available" redis with stronger consistency.

We ended up not using it, but I always wanted to revisit the pattern.
