> Automated BOM generator that can detect parts in a project and give you a cost estimation of how much the parts will cost.

I imported a project [1] but couldn't find anything about the BOM (though I have several in the repo). This is something I have been working on for https://kitspace.org. We may be able to collaborate on some standardisation here (e.g. the repo I imported has a kitspace.yaml file that points at the BOM - the BOM formatting is standardised as well - I can link you to the docs if you wish).

Other than that, something I'd really like to see as a user is the ability to add my SSH public key and even better would be the ability to just "sync" an existing Git repository. This is something that https://cadlab.io has and it seems to be very similar to InventHub.

Can you talk more about the technologies used to build this? What's your front-end framework of choice? Did you implement Git-hosting from scratch or did you manage to reuse an open source project like Gitea or Gogs?

> All the problems/limitations people commonly perceive with Wayland are actually problems/limitations within Wayland implementations like Mutter (Gnome) or KWin (KDE) and lacking application support. There's really not that much that "Wayland" as a project could deliver as it's just a protocol

In practice if all/most implementations are buggy, I think it's fair to lump them all together and say that Wayland (as used by the software actually running on my machine) has problems. You know the meme about how whenever someone tries Desktop Linux and has trouble, someone pops up and says "just use this other distro, with this particular set of software and this exact configuration, and it'll just work!"? Wayland feels like that. Sure, if I want to go all in on GNOME (on Fedora), it'll probably work. Sure, if I use Sway with the right set of compatible programs it'll work. But... I could also just stay on X where all my programs work now with no tinkering, where I can drop in any screenshot program, any clipboard manager, any screen sharing program, any keyboard configuration/emulation tool (I'm really fond of xdotool), and it will work.

People and groups that wanted to contribute but couldn't because of locked-down devices were already driven away and discouraged from development. And it was worse for them, if you own a locked-down device you can't go and decide to run FreeBSD on it to fix that. You just can't work on it at all. The GPLv3 was drafted in response to complaints about this -- specifically, companies that were shipping Linux and Busybox and were either straight-up GPL violating, or were telling users to get lost when they asked how it would be possible to get patched software on the device in any practical sense. From my perspective, there already was a wall in between those companies locking down their devices and the rest of the community. The GPLv3 only highlighted it.

tl;dr: analyzing the sound of a balloon popping in Hagia Sophia, they made an audio filter using techniques and understanding of sound in space that only became available in last 10 years. Cappella Romana made an album called Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia using this filter to recreate the experience of listening to Christian chants in that space. It's available on Spotify, headphones probably best.
Very cool to see evolution in real time and the virus RNA mutate.
Not perceiving something doesn't make it cease to exist. So, there's still the question of choosing to believe that an objective reality exists at all, even though we can't accurately/fully perceive it. On another note, if the universe is infinite, either through expansion on the macro level or through endless sub-denomination of particles, and we perceive but a finite portion of it, then do we perceive nothing (as a constant out of infinity approaches zero)?

Whoever has access to your wayland socket can display applications. Root already has access to all the things so for running apps as root (e.g. wireshark) you just need to configure sudo/doas/whatever-you-use to keep XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and WAYLAND_DISPLAY. e.g. in my doas.conf:

permit setenv { HOME LC_ALL TERM XDG_RUNTIME_DIR WAYLAND_DISPLAY } greg as root

and I can just run 'doas wireshark'.

As far as I know, there’s no evidence of correlation between static types and bug density. Java should be no better a choice than Python or Ruby. You should still be testing your code.
I worked on an online retailer's book scan ingestion pipeline. It's funny because we soon got most of our "scans" as print-ready PDFs, but we still ran them through the OCR pipeline (that would use the underlying pdf text) since parsing it any other way was a small nightmare.

Happy to provide more details. We settled on our current pricing based on conversations with our early customers. For many of them, the alternative was to build something in-house, so they saw our pricing as pretty affordable when compared to the dev cost to build a custom solution.

That being said, we’re pretty early and still iterating on our pricing. If you’re up for it, we’d love to learn more about your use case.

As a retail trader I'd lean towards yes. You have to remember that you're competing against professionals, who have (most of the time) considered all the information you are seeing and more. Markets often don't move as one would intuitively expect. Often major events get "priced in" earlier than one would intuitively expect. Be very careful.

Housing costs in big cities keep increasing at very high rates though. Clearly this affects everyone. Food and services (ie: electricity, internet) are also rising in price much faster than the claimed 2-3% a year. Many people (myself included) believe that official inflation rate calculations are fudged (the metrics keep changing). It's in the government's interest to pretend that inflation is low.

To quote this Forbes article[1] : "the way that inflation is measured over the decades has changed numerous times. If it was still measured the same way as it was in 1990, it would be closer to 6%. Which seems a lot more accurate. If inflation was calculated as it was in 1980, it would be closer to 10%."

Proponents of panspermia still pretty happy, nevertheless.
The reason we should expect worse in the West is because China put hundreds of millions of people under some level of quarantine control. If we don't enact those kinds of measures, we can expect higher numbers of infections and deaths.

I do hope that the death and hospitalization rate ends up being lower and am awaiting studies based on places like the towns in the Italian red zone where they tested every resident and the Diamond Princess. If the rates end up anywhere near the initial estimates, the hospital capacity situation could become very serious unless we enact quarantines.

True, but the term pandemic comes with added emotional baggage. Most people associate the term with the black plague rather than the flu (which has also been a pandemic several times).
We have burnt through hundreds of millions of years of fossil fuels (aka trees) in the past couple centuries. How can we regrow that “forest” one time and make a dent in carbon emissions?

Edit: I’d be happy to proven wrong, I just can’t imagine how if we increased the today’s biomass by an incredible percent, it would come close to the amount of carbon stored over millions of years.

Edit 2: 1.2 trillion trees would cancel out 10 years of human CO2 emissions. The planet currently has 3 trillion trees https://e360.yale.edu/digest/planting-1-2-trillion-trees-cou...

100% agree with your comment. One caveat though:

Mouse and touch seem like completely different things, but they're more similar when you consider pen/stylus input. 2-in-1 devices running a proper desktop-grade OS[0] are amazing devices, and one thing they're missing are properly designed apps, which are few and far between. 2-in-1 made me actually appreciate the ribbon a bit more - though an overall regression in UX, it shines with touch/pen devices, which I'm guessing was MS's intention all along[1]. 2-in-1s with pen are really magical things; I use one (a Dell Latitude) as my sidearm, and started to prefer it over my main Linux desktop on the grounds of convenience and versatility.

Best pen-oriented apps actually allow you to use keyboard + finger touch + pen simultaneously. You use pen for precise input (e.g. drawing, scaling, selecting), fingers for imprecise input (e.g. panning/rotating/scaling, manipulating support tools like rulers) and keyboard for function selection (e.g. picking the tool you'll use with stylus).

--

[0] - Read: MS Surface and its clones.

[1] - For instance, Windows Explorer would be near-unusable as a touch app without a pen, if not for the ribbon that makes necessary functions very convenient to access using finger touch.
Show HN: Geo-Info a dead simple reverse geocoding API
How is this related with Wayland? I prefer having checkboxes then a regedit or gnome gconfig.

About shorcuts, I also like having the GUI there to configure the keyboard layout (like set capslook as Escape) rather then edit xorg configs. Also it makes sense to have a section for Global shortcuts and a section for regular shortcuts. If you do not know what Global shortcuts are maybe you don't need them.

Probably GHOME users complain about Firefox's "about:config" because it has too many options and their brain can't fit that many options. The point is the distro gives you some defaults and if you are competent(you know to read and use google) you can change the distro defaults. if you are not competent you find the distro that looks cool and use it as the developers intended and adapt to it not it to you.
Kinda frustrating having certs revoked when there have never been CAA records for any names involved. I know they can't know that to be true historically, but I wish they could do some additional filtering.
I don't understand what you gain by asking people questions about how they think usability has improved. Users are notoriously bad at actually knowing what they want. If I were testing this sort of thing I'd give them tasks to do and watch what they do, when they look frustrated etc.

It's a potentially pretty big deal for understanding extraterrestrial chemical processes and estimating the likelihood of life, but to be clear this isn't anything like actual evidence of alien life.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this a "protein" TBH. The protein part is composed of only glycine, so there's really no information (e.g. DNA) required to synthesize it, just glycine and a chemical environment that would cause it to polymerize. The caps at either end are not protein components at all, as the article mentions, and protein backbones on Earth are never cyclic afaik.

But, it's still a very complex organic molecule ofc, which is very significant on its own, and its similarity to protein is evidence that protein-based life could be more common.
The more frequently you release, the less, or less serious, bugs there typically are, and the earlier you catch them.

The faster development cycle also helps people invest in testing infrastructure more effectively.

Menu bars are still alive and well on the Mac, but only as a design holdover from a previous era. Really appreciate how the menu bars on the Mac centralize all application functionality, while also surfacing keyboard shortcuts.

1- We are adding the SSH keys within next two weeks along with the sync feature with GitHub/GitLab.
2- Thanks for pointing this out I will mark it as a priority fix and totally agree to your point. We will remove special characters as a requirement.
3- We added the password change option after logging in due to malfunctioning it was taken down we will be putting it back by the end of this week.

Thanks again for taking out time to use and point these problems out.
That's interesting, where can I read more about this?

I admit some confusion at which 'short-term numbers' are being optimized at the expense of long term prosperity. I realize I may have been to literal in my reading -- the complaint is that our government is focussed on the short term at the expense of the long term.
I really enjoyed d3 for the most impressive data viz products. However I always found the overhead to get d3 going and piping data to the explicit locations to be burdensome for most applications. My sense was that you would use d3 as a final polishing step for any data viz project/product or if you wanted to make a data product that had complicated requirements/display needs. I would be curious to hear if anyone uses it for data exploration or if the overhead has been lowered over the last couple years (its been 3 years since I've used it).

Seems like it provides a business logic backend, which Retool does not, and less customizability on the frontend. You could conceivably use Retool to build a frontend to a backend powered here. e.g. in their demo video instead of a Rails app, you could use Retool for the GUI and API calls instead.

Darn that right of free association.
Used D3 for a grad data viz course project a year or two ago. Extremely powerful but unless you are doing custom visualizations or are excellent in JavaScript and Visualization it’s a bit overkill. Much easier to do monthly reporting or even one off stuff in Tableau, Power BI, or the like. Tableau or Power BI I could pass to other analysts and without experience they could figure it out. If I sent them my d3 code they would cry.

Again if doing advanced visualizations for a large newspaper, commercial presentation, it’s extremely customizable and makes some really beautiful charts.
