There are alternative, cheaper, forms of education. There's nothing wrong with somebody having to pay more for a better quality product or service. Using government to game the system just makes things worse for everyone (government debt, inflated prices, worthless degrees and indenture servants).

I assume companies will still need to be "priced" and then supply/demand will affect prices, do you intend to have any unique mechanisms to reduce volatility and short termism by investors or is the idea to be hands off and control the long term focus in "softer" ways?
Ask HN: Blogs about Rural Living?
My fiancée and I are both web developers about make the COVID WFH situation permanent and make the move from what is a large city in our area to a much more rural area 150Km away.

I'm looking for suggestions of blogs or other resources which we might find useful with the lifestyle change. Stuff with an engineering slant is always great but any suggestions would be awesome.
My pleasure. The last sentence from the Solzhenitsyn quote seems awfully relevant today.
I would have to say this. CLIs are much simpler to make and much cheaper to support.

Making one-off tools to automate tasks, or even building a set of internal tools for handling certain operations is much more feasible when you can churn it out in an hour and be done with it.

Just today I spent an hour modifying an old cli tool to help process some customers that I could get as Csv. If I was to make a gui tool for this job, it might take a week or two and the result would be way less flexible.
Recent versions of C++ are quite far from the language from 35 years ago.
Disclaimer: I can take any side of the regulatory pendulum with a straight face, and that also means pointing out accurate statements with no real opinion on either.

Buybacks were illegal because it falsely showed demand in the market. False demand is a key point in modern market manipulation and fraud cases.

Given that reality dissolved 30 years ago, of course we are all familiar with the arguments "It’s anti-dilutive and can be in the interest of shareholders"
interesting. so the timing attack is just a method of key discovery, which only seems to matter if you are reusing your keys? which the paper claims up to 4.4% of major websites do.

> So is this really only a timing vulnerability?

> Sadly no. [...] You should probably check that you are not running a vulnerable configuration (see CVE-2020-5929) since this allows mounting a direct attack without complex timing measurements.

The average American endorses slavery in their clothes, Christmas decorations and electronics. By comparison creating some bad links in a search engine is so low on my list of moral failings it doesn't even register.

There's been a few comments in the thread like this but I think this is a deeply unhealthy understanding of pleasure. Pleasure does not mean simple, or effortlessly or easy.

Genuine or deeper pleasure means acquiring understanding and develop better senses. Masturbation is pleasure, but it's no replacement for an intimate relationship.

Warming up a pizza is pleasurable, but you would lose out on a lot of experiences if you never developed any taste beyond that. Exercising is a drag, but once you actually learn what your body can do, it's much more genuinely rewarding than sitting on the sofa.

Reading critically, reading deeply, despite maybe being hard, is not the opposite of pleasurable once you develop the faculties for it. Which everyone can I believe.
Part of the reason replacing parts is attractive is because shopping is easier than maintenance...and in practice it's easier than riding because it can be done sitting at a computer eating a sandwich.

But if that's your plan, then you'll need tools. Not many. Mostly basic bicycle tools. Not specialized tools for most situations, that's why those tools are specialized.

The tools I'd recommend starting with to keep your bike safe -- these handle everything that occurs day to day. They focus on the wheels.

hex wrenches. so nothing that's loose stays loose.
cheap ones are fine.
I mostly use a set of tee handles bought
from Harbor Freight for about $12. Sometimes
L-shaped hex wrenches for tight spaces.

track pump, it just makes keeping tires properly
inflated easy. Inflation makes a huge difference.
Tires lose significant air in a week.

tire levers.

a patch kit that uses rubber cement.

truing stand - a cheap one from china is more than good
enough. Without a trued wheel, brakes cannot be optimally
adjusted. Trued wheels create a huge ride difference.
Anyone can true a wheel, it just takes time and patience.

spoke wrench. not just for truing wheels but for
insuring spokes are not loose. not-loose is not quite
the same as tight. spokes need the right amount of tension.
the right amount is loose enough to for the wheel not
to run to that side and tight enough for it to stay true

chain lube.

screw driver for adjusting derailleurs if the chain
rubs AND you're not riding cross chained.

Second level tools for bearings. Wheel bearings don't require much attention but can need periodic service. If the wheel moves laterally when the brakes are applied or doesn't spin freely and isn't rubbing, adjust the bearings.

magnetic parts cup. when something comes off the bike
that's where it goes. even if it's not magnetic.
especially if its small. It will also find ball bearings
when they are lost.

cone wrenches to adjust wheel bearings. these are just
flat wrenches.

white lithium grease for wheel bearings. don't put it on
your seat post

Everything else is pretty rare - modern cartridge bottom brackets have removed a lot of maintenance and the associated tools. Pick them up when you need them. You need them when a job with the tools you have seems to require a lot of force or not be possible.

Lastly, not doing maintenance doesn't make your bike safer. If something requires maintenance and you break it and can't ride, that's safer than not doing required maintenance and going for a ride.

If you're really worried about over-torquing something, you can throw money at it. There are torque-wrench versions of bicycle tools that are used for torque sensitive operations.

Good luck.

There was a sliver of time in the 1990s, in academic settings, where it was very easy to get onto an Internet-connected Unix computer, but before HTML existed. There were many plain text Internet applications.
The app looks really interesting but I'm hesitant to consider it for any practical projects due to the pricing model. If I'm reading it right, it's 25 dollars per app per user (not developer?) per month if you want to include features like GitHub integration, billable annually in advance. So, US$300 a year per user, or multiples of that if you have several apps for the same user? What's the target market this kind of pricing has in mind?
No. Aristotle, Herodotus, Plato, Sappho, etc. were considered important reading in their time, among others. Copying manuscripts was an extremely costly endeavor, so things that had many surviving copies could be inferred as having been regarded as important, even if we did not have any other indicators.

I have no idea where the author gets this idea.
It’s a pro the same way web apps are a pro: cost to manufacture & deliver.

Increasing density likely implies displacing the people presently in the expensive neighborhood for construction. In the U.S. anyway, that’s easier said than done. So that’s definitely a theoretical solution but I’m not sure how practical it is.
Given current 50x multiples and high valuations for unprofitable tech companies I don't think there is much evidence that that current stock markets are unable to value long term ventures. As well the extent to which a company is expected to deliver quarterly results is more defined by their board and capital structure than anything in inherent to NYSE or the NASDAQ.
Right, but TIOBE doesn't measure usage. It measures popularity by way of search engines. As people blog about their favorite new feature of C++20, it drives interest.
I still use a program called "iPhoto Plus 4!" for basic image editing.

It came with an old Mustek paralell port scanner that came with an equally old 533Mhz AMD K6-2 Compaq Presario runniung Windows ME (initially 98 and later upgraded to XP), that I bought off of a friend in 1999. The scanner is long since dead (stopped using that in '02 I think).

It loads quickly, has basic functions but is better than MS Paint, I'm used to the interface, and have never needed to stop using it. For more sophisticated things I will use Gimp or other programs, but this program has always been there when I've needed it and it still works on the latest Windows 10 builds.

Proxygen is a great C++ HTTP library.

- fully evented with arbitrary number of threads servicing event loops

- straightforward API with examples

- HTTP 1.1/2/3 out of the box

- terminates SSL/TLS out of the box

- extremely hardened

It’s not tiny and header only or anything trendy like that, but it’s fast as hell, easy to code to, builds with cmake easily, actively developed, and runs one of the biggest sites on the Web.

I have yet to find a major downside.
Apple once let somebody hack my account and purchase the same $20 app 15 times. When I complained, they ignored me. When I charged back the purchases, they canceled my Apple account. Purchasing the same app more than once on the same device shouldn't even be possible. This was back in 2011, but... definitely didn't build trust.

But you guys aren't arguing the actual point anyway. The question is whether the forced app store is always a plus for developers, not users. The answer is certainly no. And the answer is also no for users who can manage their own trust, and could happily live with direct downloads outside of the app store. They pay higher prices, and are forced to effectively subsidize everyone else.
This enables easy porting of good old C code, to C++.

> Rust is on a ~1 yr cadence

Which cadence are you talking about? We have releases every six weeks, and editions roughly every three years, but not a yearly cadence that I can think of right now.
It’s not ridiculous at all - all those reasons you list mattered (though arguably iPhone had fewer features than most phones, Safari notwithstanding), but the tipping points were the App Store and Exchange integration in iOS 2.0 summer 2008. And the iPhone 3G model. that matched the bar that Blackberry had set for security.

Companies allowed the switch to iPhone when they realized that it was in theory as secure as Blackberry, and didn’t require a BES server.
+ MCMC can be set up in a very model-agnostic way.

Analytic methods are really useful when they can be done, but often have to be worked out for each specific model.
Nice gravitational lens observation! We're hoping to use the same technique with the Sun to observe exoplanets by launching a fleet of small satellites to 547 AU (80 billion km / ~3 light days). The craft would sample the distorted Einstein ring around our Sun from that vantage point, then combine and reconstruct an image of the disk of an Earth-like exoplanet up to 100 light-years beyond, at a resolution of 25 kilometers / pixel.

What matters is consent.
What does that mean concretely? Will earnings reports still be quarterly? I guess I'm trying to figure out why the exchange has to do anything here. There's plenty of investors and companies that think long term with BRK and its investors being the most prominent.

Digging a bit more, on the investor side, there are value investors who look for solid, if unspectacular businesses at a price point and buy and hold over long periods of time.

On the company side, there are exceptional founder run businesses like Amazon, FB etc. that don't care very much what things look like in the short term (Bezos claims he's willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time for example).
For what it's worth, I was in my early to mid 20's when 9/11 happened and the aftermath made me super angry because it woke me up to the reality vs what you're taught when you're young.

MANY of us in the US absolutely opposed what was happening. We were horrified by the way the US reacted, and the shit it did. It's just that, as a US citizen, we really don't have any power to affect how the government acts.

I can only think of two times when I was VERY angry with the US, post 9/11 and the way our government reacted to the post George Floyd movement. I saw a video where we had tanks rolling down the street with armed men behind it yelling "get in your house". You then hear one of them yell "light 'em up!" and they start firing rubber bullets at these people who were standing on their BALCONY filming this. These people had no idea the ones yelling were even yelling at them. The very idea that all of the elements of tianmen square was there in the US just boils my blood. And then to see so many video's of police officers TARGETTING media or attacking people with impunity.

Even the death of the officers in Tulsa, OK. The lawyer released an affidavit stating that he had watched the police cams and the police were basically beating the shit out of the guy before he finally reached into this car and pulled out the gun. The affidavit stated that the police lied about several aspects of what happened, most specifically that the shooter never stood over them after the fact and shot multiple times into the downed officers, but that instead the shooter was panic'd and started running away (backwards) when one of the officers tried to pull out his gun and the shooter then fired again at that police officer.

I've said more than I should have, but I'm both extremely angry about this stuff and immensely disappointed that my country isn't better than it is.

I don't like that phrase. It suggests the possibility that this galaxy might not exist, that this could be observational error. I think it does exist. We understand exactly how it exists because we can observe it existing. The more accurate phrasing might be "it's not understood how it could have evolved so quickly".

Afaik, they did not even read them. They were poems to be memorized and remembered. So one person would learn it and recite it to others. That is why it is a poem and that is why it contains repetitive parts - so that it remembers easily.

Also, Homer likely was not one person. The origin of the poem is not entirely clear, but speculations are that the poem is result of oral tradition written down at some point.

E2E File Download with Puppeteer and Playwright
Having been in emb systems for a decade+: I'm not sure I agree with that. MCU prices have been relatively stable for the past decade. Sleep modes etc have existed for a while and are not drawing in new people. VCs are investing less in HW startups. Most won't invest in ones that don't have recurring revenue. Imaging sensors are made by a few large players and CMOS on-chip motion is not that useful since you can do the same thing with PIR. AI accelerators coming in to emb linux class projects is a new thing but I'm not sure who is using that besides the big companies at this point. Also, the growth in C++ is probably in the new standards, which are not well supported for embedded compilers (emb linux excluded)

I’d be curious to know why they “worried” in the first place though.
From my tinkering, I've found that MJPEG streams are the lowest latency live video I can get. Old school, but no buffering like HLS or MPEG-DASH, etc. I haven't tried modifying the buffering in HLS and the like to zilch (or at least as low as I can go), but that's one thing worth exploring. I keep it low res (640 x 360) and low fps, but use the new high quality Raspberry Pi cameras to get an image that looks decent regardless.

One way to get around the latency issue with RC cars is to pre-plot the path and build a puzzle around that. (Not that there has to be a puzzle in there.)

Also, if you like scale models, have we got somethin' cookin' for you!
You say "not even python". But Python is one of the few languages where that's not true (most haven't been around as long as C++, but e.g. Java, JavaScript have very good backwards compatibility.

It's not a speaker either; it merely has a speaker. Most of its advertised features are not features of a speaker.

It makes just as much sense to call it a smart microphone as a smart speaker, even if it's bad PR for Amazon.

Consider your own examples: add a microphone and voice rec to a thermostat and you get a smart thermostat. Connect an Echo to a thermostat and you get exactly the same thing; the Echo is providing the microphone and voice rec.
