I like the pricing model of language apps like LingoDeer and Rosetta Stone. They offer a lifetime subscription for a one-time fee that costs less than two annual subscriptions. I have no problem taking that offer, but I have no recurring subscriptions for apps.
Well he has bottles of hydrinos and multiple experimental results (e.g. gas chromatography with passage faster than any known substance) that prove hydrinos exist and have exactly the properties his theory predicts.
This is an interesting statement "Basically, Android was always a struggle, but for the first time since the very beginning, Android is moving towards sustainability."

And I didn't see any mention of the economics of iOS. From everything I've heard, iOS users are willing to spend more money. In that sense, it does seem like Apple is bringing something to the table with its 30%.
Some of those stories are not at all about hurting people feelings. For example the story of the woman who left messages to her husband was heartwarming.
It does create a conflict of interest, and a significant risk that at some point greed will win - compare e.g. AdBlock Plus that started with the "acceptable ads" program and then allowed the worst of clickbait (Taboola & Co.) despite heavy user complaints.

On the other hand, it also provides an opportunity to have a trusted addon ecosystem. If the price is reasonable, popular free addons can collect it through donations, and in exchange, users can be sure that the addons were actually reviewed (hopefully thoroughly and by humans, i.e. with a much lower "oops bad thing slipped through" rate than addon stores that rely mostly on automation).

Could even be a great way to generate revenue. Have two versions of the addon. One is free. One costs $1/year but is reviewed. Same addon. I know which one I'd pick (for myself and all relatives). Mozilla and the addon dev can split the revenue 50:50.
It’d get picked up by binary scanning tools. “Why did your ipa triple in size?”

Plus I doubt Mozilla is in the mode to burn months of programmers time on a stunt right now.
> That doesn’t make YouTube the worst way to learn

Oh no, I agree there too. It's probably the second best way to learn. (Though for me, I have more of a "read the words and look at the pictures" kind of brain, I'd choose a decently written blog post or manual over video content every time...)

But I _think_ the part of my comment you're pushing back against didn't suggest that Youtube was the worst way to learn - but rather that brakes were that _last_ thing I'd recommend someone starting out learns by themselves on Youtube. (It's entirely possible I didn't write that clearly enough though...)

Start out learning (whether by Youtube or with an experienced person) how to replace light bulbs and fill you windscreen washer fluid and upgrade your stereo, then move on to more safety-critical but low risk things like oil changes, ignition timing, carb/fuel injection service - the sort of things that if you get it wrong make you stop. Leave the things that if you get it wrong you _don't_ stop until you're totally confident you know you are going to get it right.

Brakes are one of the few things I say no to helping friends out with. If they start to work on them while I'm around, that's OK, but if they invite me round to show them how to do it I'll tell them "No, take your brakes to a licensed/insured mechanic."
This subthread started because two people saw wildly different performance for the same demo, and some attributed that to wasm. My point was that given that the demo seems heavily dependent on graphics performance, it's unlikely that the observed performance differences had anything to do with wasm.
> It's ironic that the solution would lie in the hands of common people (change their consumption, become active), but prefer to blame rich people, left and right. Billionaires don't drive billions of cars or eat billions of beef steaks, the "average Joe's" do.

Most people in America who drive a car don't have a choice, because it's they're in a situation where they either have reliable transportation or starve.

Nobody forced employers to expect their employees to have transportation, and nobody forced manufacturers to engage in unsustainable practices or to manufacture products that pollute to the extent that they do.

Meanwhile, commercial transportation is responsible for the majority of transportation carbon emissions, and industrial and commercial carbon emissions are more than four times as high as residential emissions.
Probably very relevant is the recent Ask HN thread relevant:
"Do you have a personal blog?"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24404704

where the people posting also comment on where they host it and why. ;)
But why C99 instead of C11?
According to this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24423448 there is nothing they can do about quarterly reporting, so unfortunately the shift in thinking will have to happen under existing regulations.

My understanding of this is quite limited at the moment but I'm curious to learn how and why companies would benefit from signing up for the LTSE and what effect it will have in practice. There are requirements such as a "Long-term Strategy Policy" but it seems like pretty much a leap of faith / honor system for the company to upload the principles.
I mean, I understand that. My issue is that it feels like Epic is being dishonest. Their motives are clearly self-interested: they want the ability to run their own Epic Store so they can secure more profits than going through Apple. So when they try to act like they're the little guy fighting for what's in people's best interests — that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, regardless of whether the outcome is for the best.
How to escape from an erupting volcano
You made the front page of HN - well done! You don't need to be defensive now.
In this case it's a smart lazy hack.

First, they designed this cool octovalve thing so they could use the one heat pump for all the heating and cooling needs of the car.

Second, they have this LCC hanging off the side of it, a top heavy part mounted laterally with no support other than where it's bolted to the octovalve at its base.

Third, they realise there's a problem and need to relieve stress from the mounting point. So there we get the metal strap with a spreader.

Fourth, they realise there's no point getting plastic moulded parts specially made when they can just use bamboo, wood, or fake wood which are not only cheaper but have better vibration damping qualities than the plastic part.

No doubt they'll redesign this part at a later stage, but since it's a contract-manufactured part they need to give the contractor time to roll out the new part and they need to deplete inventory. Will the new design involve modifications to the octovalve? Perhaps the new design will simply have a bracket down the side to provide vertical support?
Kubernetes manifests are no different from any code one would write. The first few times you need to accomplish something, you consult the docs. After a while, you know what you need. If you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, automate it. I don't understand the hand-wringing over k8s YAML.
they just had to lay off dozens.
I understand the point you're making, but the bigger reason that <dialog> isn't being used is because it's still locked behind a feature flag in Firefox since they haven't fully implemented it. For a recent project I was actually looking forward to using using it and would be more than happy to add the bit of JS necessary to toggle it, but ended up having to reinvent the wheel and make my own modal component.

If all we needed was a bit of JS to wire up state between HTML elements like <dialog> and <details> I think we would still be in a great place, even if we didn't have native data-binding. The bigger issue IMO is that in many cases native elements can't be used either because they fall short of the desired UX and can't be extended/enhanced (e.g. <select multiple>), or browser support isn't widespread enough (e.g. <details>).
Elvish has a really simple API for writing completers (https://elv.sh/ref/edit.html#completion-api). The simplicity of the API stems from some fundamental language features like first-class functions, value pipes and composite data types. In more traditional shells without these language features (including fish), the completer API is usually made up of obscure naming conventions, specialized command for outputting candidates and controlling the format, etc.

I think Elvish's simple completer API (which is very similar to completion protocols used by editors, FWIW) is proof that serious programming capabilities is actually quite essential for a shell. You wouldn't write editor plugins using bash, but people have to write completers and other shell plugins in bash all the time.

However, what would affect your day to day experience the most is probably the coverage of existing completers. There are some community efforts you can find in https://github.com/elves/awesome-elvish#completion-scripts, but it's quite clear that Elvish is lagging behind.

This is mostly because I'm still trying to figure out a lot of things in the language itself, and I don't want people to invest a lot of completers before they get broken by language changes. Once the language becomes more stable (which will perhaps take another year or so) I'll invest much more in this area.
I just applied. I don't want my add-on "promoted". I just want to get rid of the Mozilla message: "This is not monitored for security through Mozilla's Recommended Extensions program. Make sure you trust it before installing."

I wrote back to Mozilla: "This is an old add-on. I just want to get rid of the warning label. How much will that cost me?"

I feel like I'm asking the extortionist goon how much it's going to cost me to not be beaten up.
Thermal transfer compound comparison (2002)
HN people only correct the "false facts" that people (with their professional career of 2 or 3 internet searches perhaps) assume when commenting on a site full of professionals in the field that is covered in each publication... If you feel like debating, having basically "zero experience" in the subject matter, make a post on facebook or twitter and receive attention from people who are at the same level of ignorance as you, and return when you have a professional career and important information to share.

Precisely, it’s pretty easy to tell from the Covid-19 death rate in Sweden that’s its reached a saturation point. The last few weeks have had < ~5 COVID-19 related deaths per day. It’s flat-lined, while many countries will continue likely having second, third, or even fourth waves. If a vaccine is developed and widely distributed, then that’d be a good stopping condition as well.

The health institute in Sweden isn’t by running an experiment anymore than the "experiments" running in say NY & CA. Every thing I’ve read indicates broad national Swedish support, of course there’s dissenters but news sources would indicate they’re in the minority. Compare that to the contention in say CA, or Germany over the lockdown/shutdowns of normal life.

In the grand scheme I believe most people will realize a total of 5,000 deaths in a country that normally has a couple hundred thousand die every year isn’t extreme. Unfortunate, but not much different from most years (it’s possible Sweden will overall lose less people than the average on previous years). Just this cause has a lot of scary news behind it.
Does using Apple Sign in not share your email address/identity?
British Columbia also has a similar law which has been reasonably well received.
Dayia cheese is in my opinion, superior than cheese in applications such as burgers. However, looking at the ingredients it looks unhealthier gram by gram vs cheese. But if it spares the suffering of one animal I'm all for it.
very nice! cool animations on tmpo.io! Right now I'm running things behind aws lambda & using dynamodb etc, have looked into using aioboto3 but haven't got there yet...
Prior to monthly or annual subscriptions, business software was purchased for a larger lump sum up front and perpetually owned. If you wanted to get updates and support you often paid a yearly maintenance fee ranging from 10% to 30% of the initial license/software cost. Saas, Software as a service was originally paying a monthly or annual fee for the software maker to also pay and run the servers. Now it seems Saas stands for software as a subscription where that still applies but everyone expects continuous never ending features to be added.
If he had that "intel" we'd know it by now.
The antenna size is governed by the wavelength and the distance between Tx and Rx (or relays).

There are no sidelobes. We are using near-field and catching close to 100% of the radiated energy.

Range is only limited by line of site and an antenna size which is practical. Mind you, we can reduce antenna size and increase range by using passive relays.

Using a phased array, operating in the near-field. strictly point-to-point between Tx/Rx.

At the moment we are working with about 60% end to end efficiency so sending 1kw means you will get 600w at the far end… not 1w :)
Unlikely in its current form. Zink is built as part of Mesa, and isn't meant to work with any Vulkan implementation.
I started my business (https://roadometry.com) to solve this problem. In my opinion, the main issue is the lack of good measurement systems for traffic; most cities only monitor a small fraction of their traffic in real-time.

To waste less time at traffic signals, we really need something more like a vision-based system at every controlled intersection. Then timing can be coordinated on a second-by-second level rather than simply re-tuning every few months, or relying on very rough heuristics.

My system currently requires a desktop with a high-end GPU, but I'm looking at different options for porting this to a low-power architecture for a solar installation.
dxvk also supports dx9
"Epic flagrantly violated the terms they had previously agreed to"

Epic probably thinks that some conditions are illegal, and therefore void. But that would also mean that Apple broke the contract with Epic when they removed the app from the store.
In Unix terms PR# redirects the standard output to the hardware in the indicated slot and IN# redirects the standard input. From then on the BASIC commands PRINT and INPUT will access that hardware instead of the screen and keyboard respectively.

In practice the hardware can actually do anything it wants when you PR#, like booting from an attached floppy.
Don't take my word for it - check out the experiments and prototypes yourself at https://brilliantlightpower.com/
I'm a big fan of Plotnine and recommend it to anyone who will listen.

My (wildly speculative) guess for the motivations behind this library would be that Kotlin, as a base, is usable in the other JetBrains IDE's, e.g. reusing the same library and grammar when developing in Java or Ruby.
I think the phenomenon you're observing here isn't really to do with health, but more of naturalness - or more specifically, perceived naturalness.

Obviously a hamburger isn't literally natural, but it's made from beef and mostly nothing extra.

An "Impossible Meat" burger was born out of a lab - researched, developed, tested, and finally manufactured. There's nothing "natural" about it, which can turn a lot of people off.
Agreed. Or at least remove the possibility of career politics. 2 terms in most positions ought to remove all the oldies implementing policies of 70s on today's people.
Just want to let you know that I didn't downvote you, and was genuinely interested in what you use Haskell for, so thanks for the reply. Have you had trouble hiring developers that know Haskell?
Ah awesome! Thanks
What do you do for an ISP out there? I'm guessing a small consumer-grade Ku or Ka band VSAT. Or do you have a local WISP?
Yes, the person you are responding to was making a joke by playing off the fact that we all would have immediately thought of Great Balls of Fire, and then they subverted that expectation. Ergo, humor.
I was wondering if someone else immediately made that connection.
Your startup sounds a lot like a 'hard' version of the controversial app "Secret".[1]

if the BLM protests didn't cause millions of cases, i don't know what did.
This is like the mafia asking me to pay up or else they will kidnap my children, and when I refuse to pay up and my children get kidnapped, you tell me "Well this was one of the things you knew was going to happen".

If the demands are unfair or extortionate I don't blame people for not capitulating to them. This the same idea that forms the basis of civil disobedience.
I made a service (https://www.deadmansswitch.net) back in 2008 to do the same. You write a few emails to your loved ones, then the service checks up on you every so often. If you never reply, it sends the messages.

Much cheaper than sending someone to crash a funeral, but also much less dramatic.
* I will update the IPv6 stuff

* Also the wireguard config

* I will look into how I can allow the user to provide that information as the IP is pulled within the doctor container

* Noted on Firefox

Thanks for the detailed comment

EDIT:

Just provided instructions in the repo for how to configure DDNS: https://github.com/IAmStoxe/wirehole#configuring-for-dynamic...

Also modifed it so only the port 51820 is exposed preventing any unintentional exposure.
So you see no problem in a “black box” deciding whether you could go free or not after you commit a crime? Why not just throw out the whole justice system then and make rulings be done by a computer?

> The algorithm could be 100% accurate and it would STILL be decried as "racist" because of the different outcomes between the races.

This sentence is actually kindof racist. It implies that one race commits more crime. It may be true statistically, but if systematic racism exists, there will be biases in reporting.
Thanks, I just searched for that. Those are some extreme numbers[1] and there seem to be a lot of dishes in East Asia that are making use of it, not sure if the use is just as an additive.

I wonder why it doesn't come up a lot in protein rich food discussion. I will try to read up more about it.

The higher your max bandwidth, the quicker it collapses under signal deterioration.
They already had standing based on the $300 million in IAP fees Apple has collected from Fortnite. They could have simply sued and said "we want our $300 million back". They didn't need to do anything else.
I love using IRC via the Element/matrix solution. It covers my needs and its pretty effective for what I use it for.
It’s this way because of how regulated everything is. You have to jump through hoops to get permission to do anything here in the U.S. in other countries you just do it.
No, I did not say that - 3G was slow enough to be bothersome for simple tasks. Not everything is relative. There are absolutes, and there are diminishing returns on investment, and a differences between creating tools that solve problems and creating infrastructure in search of problems. But I suppose I should be happy for anything that drives growth, or even appears that it may, at this point.
Look, you have no counter evidence to the contrary, your tiny study of Korean consumers may or may not say something statistically significant about one small market, but nowhere else.

Apple competes with a horde of phone makers who sell cheaper phones at vastly lower profit margins. And who don’t have to spend a dime on OS development.

To compete Apple spends enormous effort in keeping iPhone secure and safe. And it makes safety and security a top iPhone marketing message. And it’s upper management repeats this mantra in interviews.

Apple knows how they came to dominate the high end of the smartphone market, they have pursued the same consistent strategy all the way back before the App Store existed. The first iPhones were locked down not allowing any third part apps. When they opened the App Store the security was already baked in, App Review, ode signing, sandboxing, the works.

It’s easy to be that dude on the internet who doesn’t believe Apple, but they aren’t running a $200B business by the seat of their pants. They have thousands of marketing people talking to customers, and if they could sell more phones by allowing sideloading and alternate app stores they would.
That’s what he said
On the other side of the coin perhaps we shouldn't restrict our fellow humans lives "because we just don't know what the long term effects are!!"
Do you think any frustration is warranted for all of that articles false claims?

I disagree with the cracked pot comment, that goes too far.

It is pretty cringe-worthy, is it toxic to point that out?
I mean yes, but also the idea that a company in country X
can operate a website usable by people in country Y without having to stand up/rent space
in a data center there.
I wonder by what year it would be impossible at a hardware level to do that. Apple has already been making MacOS more or more like its phone OSes, raising the walls of the garden. They might soon implement some privacy/security 'think-of-the-children' type 'feature' that makes it basically impossible to install any other OS on your Macbook.
Agreed, even as someone who's supporting Biden this article strikes me as a poorly obfuscated Trump hit piece. It really blows me away how defining what "beating a virus" is ended up being so brazenly politicized (by either side).
Thanks for the link. It infuriates me that beef consumption is subsidized by all tax payers. Big money. The externalities of beef production are devastating (water use, extra pollution, incentive to destroy Amazon Basin, etc.).

If consumers had to pay an unsubsidized price for beef and other products that gut-punch the environment, that would be a step towards making things better.

I don't want to take away anyone's right to eat beef, I just want them to pay for the externalities.
Well, not lately, but there were plenty on the road when I was a lad.

I do think the median user would be nonplussed by a name like Mimestream. One struggles to form a mental image of a stream of mimes, and I assure you that knowing that something called MIME exists is uncommon.
Great talk, enjoyed it immensely. Say you wanted to increase the bandwidth of the line, would this simply be a matter of running the another length of fiber through the existing conduit?

I don't care about Epic but I welcome this lawsuit. If they win, it will significantly improve the lives of millions of developers and users.
I would also like to know about this.

Edit: Also, he didn't quite answer my question. I asked how one would find out what companies are listed, not for a list of what's currently up.

I might assume that they'll eventually be on their website but I've now asked twice and gotten answers about "preferred brokers" and "market makers" (I honestly don't know what that is) and another saying that this stock exchange has no stock to exchange. Again, I am not savvy in this area but it seems reasonable that "how would I view what's available?" wouldn't be to difficult of a question. If the answer is "those listings aren't 'For you' as a non-professional investor" then I'd be happy being informed.
It doesn’t have to be. It only has to be beneficial for the vast majority of Apple customers, and it is, which makes it beneficial for the vast majority of Apple developers.
