>The system of carrosses was approved and instituted by a judgement of the King's Counsel on 19 January 1662: signed by Louis XIV, the letters patent allowed the service to run as a monopoly. After first trials from the 26 February, five routes were progressively started from the 18 March 1662, linking multiple Historical quarters of Paris. The new service was met with a positive reception by the general public upon its inauguration.

Starting November 1661; getting it signed by Louis XIV January 1662; first trials 26 February; five routes 18 March 1662. Damn, they moved fast.

On a side note, Pascal's "Pensées" is one of my most frequent recommendations[0]. What did he not do!

Still should not take nine years, even if it is an oss project.
In my local American grocery store, I inspect all bread for mold, all cartons of eggs for breaks or spoilage, fruit for rotten abscesses. I avoid Walmart because they get special low quality SKUs, Amazon because they comingle counterfeit products, and eBay because people will send you boxes full of rocks instead of whatever you thought you bought.
It is still going to be a small drop in a bucket, a mild inconvenience and a lot of hassle for an individual. Would you trade few weeks of your life to fight such battle? Will the satisfaction be comparable to satisfaction coming from achieving something productive? I think for all this time you'd have your life filled with bitterness. It's better to take your money elsewhere and spend time on something productive! You can also think about it as cost of learning about evil companies and their practices.
JSON is really useful as a portable, human-readable format that is also (relatively) easily machine-readable.

Under the hood, doesn't Suricata transform the JSON config to an efficient binary representation though?

(I've never used Suricata, and haven't used Snort or seen the code for ~15 years, but it seems the obvious thing to do)
i know exactly what you mean. the best thing i can recommend is quit the current project. it is too late to adjust.

next time, keep in mind one keyword - yagni. do not think what you might need in the future or how this pretty interface represents this data and things like that. program for what you need right now. let the code be dirty, ugly, disgusting, just make it work. you will want to be clever and whatnot, don't. right now is what matters, don't think about future and possible technical debt or need of rewrites because this code is horrible. right now is what matters. and if the output is what is expected form the input, then what is inside does not matter.
Unfortunately, on my Moto G5 Plus (which is not an high-end device), I've found that Firefox on Android is slower than Chrome (specifically the Bromite fork). I think that Firefox may not be a good solution for low-spec or older phones running older Android versions.
If you can't hold or touch it in your hot little hand, you don't really own it.

There's a reason that many assets are described as 'real'.
From random articles I once read (i.e. hardly authoritative) the US TLAs focused heavily on intercepting packages in transit, modifying them, then forwarding them on rather than rooting the entire production line. But obviously that's just the stuff that was publicized.
You absolutely don't need to do that. It'll automatically enable the dGPU when needed.

The biggest issue I've had is with making sure it turns off, and /r/zephyrusg14 is somewhat helpful there. On Linux it's more straightforward, but currently needs a few kernel patches.
22.4 L/mol (call it 20). Air is 80% N2, so let's just assume density of air is 30g/mol (N2 is 28, round up for ease of use.) Helium, I think, is monoatomic, so 2g/mol. Thus, load supportability is 28g for every 22.4L. 35lb(454g/lb)(22.4L/28g) = a lot, maybe around 10,000L.
Arbitration isn't a magic wand.

If the arbitrator colludes with one side, the other side can file class action.

A more practical answer is telling everyone you know that HP is a sham company, and avoid their products like the rona.
It does and if you can get an OKI printer it is probably better choice than Brother. OKI and Brother printers are generally similar (in fact I would not be surprised if Brother printers are actually made by OKI), but OKI printers tend to have better firmware and actual licensed PostScript implementation from Adobe. And at least here (Czech Republic) you can often get OKI printers on sale with almost ridiculous discounts.
You have it backwards. There is a mountain of precedent behind the idea that customers can't understand the fine print, and thus these "contracts of adhesion" are restricted.
google went to shit, design-wise, after they upgraded gmail ui with that material design crap. since then it's shite with all their services.
But Google Buzz, if tested internally, was well ahead of Slack and slack-like chat applications currently available (as expected for a chat application tested within the context of a company). Someone is lacking proper vision at Google.

Hindsight is 20/20 of course.
Yes, it would be as much a shame now as it was then. This might come as a surprise but you can actually _learn_ from past mistakes and attempt to avoid them in the future. Like websql.

SQLite is a large, complex project by itself. Not only would you be adding it’s quirks into the spec but you’d be basically locked into a specific version of SQLite that has to be bug for bug compatible with whatever version was shipped before.

It’s quite clearly a terrible, terrible idea. And I say that as someone who was quite looking forward to what WebSQL has to offer. It’s more a reflection on “there is only one embedded SQL database suitable for use” than anything else.
It was on topic to what GP was replying to, though. It's fine for discussions to wander.
> I feel I have to point out that the cartridges that come with a printer are starter cartridges. They contain significantly less ink/toner than a replacement cartridge.

Even accounting for that, I remember it was still cheaper to buy a new printer.
"Rogue-lites" usually refer not just to persistent state, but to persistent progression across runs.
This is horrible, it should remain a card. Why should a cell phone, or any technological device now be required for participation in society or to validate yourself to any government official?

At that point, where do you draw the line of privacy? You're carrying with you an object that you can't trust 100% and can work against you anytime.

This is truly chilling dystopian type stuff. Soon a cell phone will be required for every "person."
Pay at Intel is about half of FAANG, can confirm. They seem weirdly proud of this and then weirdly confused and disappointed when great people leave.
Tell HN: Amazon recruiters scraping HN profiles
Amazon has been scraping HN profiles and dumping email addresses into their applicant tracking software. Nothing you can really do about it but it's lame and should be called out.

I use a unique email address in my HN profile just for HN related stuff (it's hn@<my domain>) and just received a spam from an Amazon recruiter "about the status of my application for engineering management roles at Amazon".

I've never applied to work for Amazon, never used that unique email address anywhere else, also not been an engineer for 10+ years!

This here is partly venting and partly to put others on alert.
Depends on the billing model, right? Hourly contracts create the worst micromanagement situations. As an employee I can just decide that something needs doing & spend the afternoon on it, and my boss trusts my judgement. An arms-length customer isn’t going to be easily talked into paying for that time.
Onclusive – The Story Is in the Data
Non-destructive adjustment laters are pretty much must-have for a image editing software for it to be taken seriously. It’s something the GIMP devs should be focusing on, not something that a random person on the internet does on their free time. Especially considering it has been a well requested feature for over 10 years.

Ps. you’re not going to get anyone to commit anything with that kind of message. You’re just driving people away from oss.
Honest question: do evopsych people have any evidence for the males-as-hunters/females-as-gatherers thing from prehistory? The only argument I've heard was "well most present-day hunter-gatherer societies are like this" which is incredibly weak (not all such societies are like this, and they also evolved along with modern society and probably weren't frozen in time for 10000 years). So am I missing anything or is this one of those famed inferences to the best explanation evopsych people are known for?
If you are managing a web project and using Trello, this tool can save your time
Hi YC People!

This is my side project called Toolbax - Feedback.

If you are managing a web project and using Trello, this tool can actually save your arse! ;)

You can easily take screenshots, annotate on them and send to your Trello board by Toolbax chrome extension. It also allows you to get the details about your screenshot and the device you’ve used.

Visit my website for more details.

https://toolbax.com

I manage many web projects and I give feedback for UI problems all the time. Taking a screenshot, giving it a name and creating a Trello card with details (URL, screen resolution etc.) take a lot of time, right? This extension does all of them for me and hopefully will do the same for you too!

The trial version allows you to take 30 screenshots but please feel free to contact me and I’ll be more than happy to upgrade your limit! I look forward to getting any feedback from you!
Do you buy parts for the THING in cheaper regions? For example the components that make the THING were made in China or other country with cheap labour? If you say yes, then why do you think it is moral to remove such option from the consumer?
> Once I discovered that Ctrl-L can bring up the url/file path I found it at least usable.

This seems to be the same shortcut on Gnome and Windows, so I'm curious where it comes from.
I shamefully own one of these printers. It's absurd. But sadly, I pay less for ink than the Canon I owned previously.
I know I should I have bought the bullet decades ago for a laser printer. Lesson learned.
Ask HN: Why are some markets/industries competitive vs. some favor monopoly
I'm trying to understand market dynamics, and what makes one market likely to favor a monopoly, while other markets don't.

If we remove things like network effects, and capital intensive industries, are there other factors that affect if an certain industry or market is likely to be owned by a monopoly vs being highly competitive?
Good catch! I was too sure to check. scp doesn't take -e.
Upvoted; great point! Esp, 1st paragraph.
If you're generating that much logging though, you're definitely not using brocut/jq/etc, you're going to be well into Kafka/Hadoop/elk territory. See also, Apache metron.
We’ll have to agree to disagree. I think a metaphor that has nothing to do with reality causes people to think too much about it. You end up replacing one abstract thing with another abstract thing (and the reason to go metaphoric in the first place is to make the concept less abstract). The metaphor makes more sense you because you’re already deeply familiar with the concept of technical debt so you’re able to easily evaluate (2) — you’re not actually using it for understanding. If I told this metaphor to my spouse (for whom I’m often using metaphors to explain things), the reaction would be: “What are you talking about? Library with 25 books? Huh?”
Trump Ran as the Nation’s NIMBY in Chief. It Didn’t Work
> In both cases, the verifier manually compares the appearance of the individual against a portrait photo, either printed on the plastic or transmitted electronically

So now I have to put my image in the store's database too? Way more invasive than plastic card, which doesn't electronically transmit my image.
When someone comes to you saying they have a problem with technical debt, do you actually have technical debt? Or do your team just have a case of technical hubris? If your team isn't capable of writing a better system then you don't have technical debt, you just have an expensive system or a poor team.

Telling the difference between technical debt and technical hubris is hard, and giving in to technical hubris is much worse than living with technical debt since technical hubris is mostly just a every expensive way to create technical debt.
Cycle, don’t drive.
I'd imagine it would have an easier time if it were inside a rock, say. The meteorites we have that originated on Mars apparently took millions of years to get here, though. But those are just the rocks we've found, on the third hand. Intra-system panspermia is an interesting and seemingly credible idea but, as they say, More Research is Required.
I didn't misunderstand Stoic thought. Maybe the guy writing the article misrepresented Stoicism. "Work toward as serene a degree of acceptance as you can muster instead. This doesn’t mean suppressing emotions. Rather, it means shifting your emotional spectrum—away from unhealthy emotions like anger and toward the mindful embracing of healthy ones like joy—by working on consciously altering the way you think about yourself and the world."

He's the one that said anger is an unhealthy emotion. So my comment may be a perfect example of people misunderstanding Stoicism, but I'm merely the messenger. The guy who wrote the article is the one that made the claim.

By the way, I don't think this is a small or unimportant point. Suppressed anger is extraordinarily unhealthy. Telling people their anger is bad for them just makes the problem worse.
Forty-odd years ago, I rode Greyhound a fair bit. It was before deregulation brought airline fares down. The buses were reasonably clean, not that smelly unless you sat way back by the restroom. I wouldn't care to do it today--the 20-year-old back can tolerate what the 60-year-old back can't, or anyway would rather not.

But it wasn't that bad. I would stand at the end of the line for a bus. The worst outcome was sitting next to the person nobody else wished to sit next to. The best and more common outcome was that the bus would have filled up before I boarded, and Greyhound would bring out another bus--I could ride in a nearly-empty bus.
Quite possibly, I did first play with Perl about 15 years before encountering jq. Some days I do feel as though my head is simply out of room, as my brain has been replaced by a large heap of curly braces, semi colons and stack traces.
Until the bouncer (or the bar's contracted developer) thinks it's easier or more secure to use the "Request all data" feature, and logs everything to an unprotected MySQL database. When a bouncer looks at your ID he doesn't write down or save any of that information. This really seems like a solution looking for a problem.
It's an ISO standard for a driver's license and the US isn't the only party involved in it (although it may be unique in that it plays the role of a national ID there).
I'm not sure if you (or other readers) are familiar with the quote, but the title is a pun. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon river and marched on Rome to declare himself emperor he supposedly said "The die (like dice) is cast (thrown)" -- either he would become emperor or perish trying.

In the case of t article, the Rubicon has been crossed, and also features "cast" into the silicon can't be fixed (most of the time). But you're right, they aren't actually cast.
How to Lose an Election: A History
Yeah, but why if you can have a single laser for the entire device?
Sad. The OKI Microline 320 was a staple from my early 90s career in medical IT. It's still sold by Staples.
That's fair, but there's another problem. It's hard enough to find a regular educator that's qualified to teach kids about computers on a Windows or Apple. Linux is going to be easier?
> It appears that the people who argue that roguelike means something different now have never (or almost never) played a roguelike in traditional sense.

It almost seems like the author is begging for refutation, but I'll bite: I have multiple allrune victories in DCSS (and have also contributed code to the game) and have been around roguelike communities since the mid-2000s (so before Spelunky, FTL, etc), and I have no issue with the modern use of the word "roguelike". In fact, I'm delighted! I think the "run-based" machinery that can be traced back to Rogue (with all the trappings that tends to imply: tangible loss upon death, random layouts, etc.) have been one of the best trends in gaming of the past decade.

It's similar to what happened to RPGs. Remember what "RPG" used to mean in the 90s? Then remember when games starting incorporating "RPG elements" (e.g. character progression through leveling and experience points) into other genres? Turns out there were some widely-applicable, generally good ideas that had mostly only surfaced themselves in classic RPGs that took years to gradually diffuse into the medium at large. So goes the roguelike.
I find it fascinating that people are ready to go through such lengths to achieve what is supposed to be a simple task and they think it is normal.
If they were testing this with the customers, really not one said this is just plain stupid or maybe they did, but greedy marketers decided to ignore?
It's not like HP has a monopoly on printers?
Making a Siri Shortcut to tell how much electricity we’re generating from wind
There are many tutorials on how to develop a roguelike in various languages and with various libraries at the RoguelikeDev subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/

If you enjoy learning from books, I've written an introductory book about developing roguelikes with JS and Phaser:

FreeCAD also has several options for 3d navigation bindings. Really helped smooth the transition.
Wow those are some really cool stories. Thank you for sharing.
so true - when i started working at home full time 3 years ago i purchased my first ever printer
Every time you add a new feature you're basically creating technical debt in one way or another, often in a way which is not obvious until you've built a few additional changes on top. It's best to refactor a bit with every new code change. Most people I know never refactor, always say they'll do later, and then end up asking for permission to rewrite the whole thing, only to make a new mess
You have to look at who does the hiring and who benefits from the churn: The managers themselves.

Keeping old timers, they will take charge and be harder to manage.

Each newcomer, will be at your mercy, to be formed and taken hostage for many years.

Besides, an influx of chaos is good for grabbing more power. As it's really someone else's problem after all: Win win.

So such situations are because someone benefits from the situation, even though the organization bleeds. Look at incentive structures and follow the money. Though even if unintentional, it follows from simple cause and effects.
This is going to blow your mind but you can actually GREP the output of jq. I feel so bad for how long it took this man to write a language not knowing that.
But it wasn't that bad

I rode Greyhound a few times in the year before the pandemic. Cincinnati to Indianapolis. Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Chicago to Madison. My experience was the same as yours: It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

I think people just have a worst case scenario in their minds that keeps them away. I understand that. I feel the same way about airplane travel over the last decade or so.
Make it a SaaS.

There's always a bunch of print shops next to colleges. Most of them are low-tech/no tech (get there in person with your document on a thumb drive/email it to the clerk's gmail account).

Make it so the local print shop can run the print server and set it's rates. You display a nice map with all the print shops close to the user and a price for the document, the user select which print shop gets the job. You handle the transaction, they take care of the job.
Not sure how much that’ll hold, a lot of the gaming and pc subreddits and the communities there have been strongly favouring AMD chips in builds and advice. With Zen 3 chips I expect that to continue.
Well, guns do a lot, but they do not contradict the basic premise.

The bare minimum to even have the discussion is sufficiency. Having something to defend.

I agree with you otherwise.

And the example of sovereign trading peer holds too. Being able to assert sovereignty in a way that matters to would be oppressors speaks to how wise it is to declare said sovereignty, does it not?

In any case Musk is cart well before horse here. Humorously so.
I guess it is just my bias against tunnels. BTW: what is your bandwidth?
What a stupid idea. After a weekend in nature, you now have to worry, you phone still has power to drive a car. And more stupid, hand over my phone unlocked to the police or to everybody who wanna see the license. More worse, until now, they just checked and it was ok. From now an, everybody is always saved after that in a DB. And why is that more secure? If you cheated until know and showed a false ID, so you show now just a false phone.
There will absolutely be bloodshed.

I harbour no doubt.
Ah i see so it’s kind of like network raid1... I’m guessing this still implies that you can’t write while backup target is offline?
I hated the cloth. It slipped all the time. Maybe it was a user error, but at the end of the day, I was constantly tightening it and adjusting it.

The baby bjorn I adjusted once and it was good for months. It had clips to make it easy to take the baby in and out and for quick release when going through things like airport security.

My only complaint was that it was hard to do the clip in the back because I think it is designed for women who have a lot of experience clipping things behind their backs.
Yes by “bye bye” i meant your workload writes or reads are going to fail/stall and all sorts of bad things happen
Ask HN: Do you have a dedicated home office space?
Top 2 issues Americans complain about when working from home are distractions from other family members and inadequate workspace.

I believe most folks here are like me - means been working from home before it became common place.

Mind sharing how you solved this problem?

Thanks!
Open Plan Homes Are a Terrible Idea
Paperback – A Simple Way to Read Pinboard Articles Later
I love this idea. It's like saying that entropy is a measure of ignorance. I wonder if you could apply a similar argument to develop a quantitative description of tech debt.
Each provides completely different data meant to communicate different things. The point of the (first) original map communicates winning party geographically by (I believe) county. The “fixed” map communicates relative share of vote by population, because the designer rightly objects to the use of that geographical data to vastly overstate one party’s political support. The map here communicates electoral outcome. None of them is objectively “better” although one is especially misleading when misused.

The “better” you’re seeking/identifying is better for an entirely different analysis than what was intended. The “fixed” version doesn’t necessarily correct any misunderstanding of the electoral system, but it certainly better presents public political distribution than either of the others. If the intent is to capture both public support and electoral outcome you actually need more axes, and probably the ability to toggle different presentations of the same data.

A “better” visualization capturing the designer’s intent and yours as I understand it would present:

1. Distribution of votes by count, not by arbitrary boundaries (to capture public sentiment).

2. Weight of vote by geography (to capture electoral outcome).

3. Some way to quantify the discrepancy between 1 & 2, and ideally some additional text resources discussing the historical background behind that discrepancy and its impact on democracy.
