I'm making a web app written in elixir using phoenix liveview, tailwind css and alpine.js that allows twitch streamers to listen to music from youtube or soundcloud along with their communities without having to play the audio directly through their stream, and for viewers to listen along with a streamer.
This effectively bypasses twitch's recent dmca enforcement policies, which are what gave me the idea to make this in the first place.

It's not much but (most of) it's mine :)

https://github.com/ohmree/frick_dmca

Currently users can sign in with twitch and play audio locally from youtube urls (using the invidious api, so no google login required) but I work on it whenever I can so it can hopefully become what I described above.

Contributions are more than welcome, although my code is pretty much undocumented and untested (but you could say I'm still in the prototyping stage so there isn't much code to begin with)

But seriously. There is no market. Browser is a javascript runtime, it is easy to make self-contained HTML like self-contained SWF before.

Nodejs is v8 running on the server. In theory it should be possible to emulate in the browser. In practice someone has to implement that first.
If you're not dead set on the mobile chip, Lenovo makes a ThinkCenter M75q Tiny Gen2 with a Ryzen 4750GE [1], although the ship dates look ridiculously far out at 5 weeks or more.

I just ordered the larger SFF model (M75s Gen 2) this week with a Ryzen 7 4750G and it is scheduled to arrive within 14d.

MSRP is pricey, but in Canada, I was able to score mine for less than half of MSRP due to a sale and some other promos.

If my understanding is correct, essentially what happened here is that the computer that drives the touch screen was actually failing (MCU / media control unit). Apparently they were just logging so much stuff to disk that the flash storage would eventually wear out in a few years, due to the chips having a limited number of writes in their lifespan. this doesn’t affect the ability to drive but without the computer you can’t see your speedometer, many vehicle controls, etc. or even connect with your phone (which normally could replace the main display in a pinch).

they changed the software to log less a while ago, but the damage was done on many cars. Not 100% sure this recall is related to the same issue but it sounds like that’s what they’re saying

“ Investigators determined that the expected usage life rating for the 8GB eMMC NAND flash memory device is about 3,000 Program-Erase cycles, after which the eMMC NAND flash memory device would become fully consumed and no longer be operational. At a daily cycle usage rate of 1.4 per block, accumulation of 3,000 P/E cycles would take only five to six years, the agency said”
> I think the author is not talking about career programming.

Yes, and I'll be honest and say that I missed that to begin with. The author is also not a developer, which is why he is mistaken on a number of specifics. I think concentrating on those specifics miss the point of what he's trying to relate.

I think the barrier to start coding is incredibly low at the moment though. There are so many learning resources and even websites that provide a full stack including a web based ide. The barrier to doing it completely on your own hardware may be slightly higher than it used to be because everything requires so much customizability that it ends up being difficult to operate. Of course there are simpler option out there but they don't get as much press as the more capable tools.

I don't think he solved the crux of his excel problem though: excel provides an easy way of coding, providing the input for the code, and presenting the results in productive manner. Most environments make this fairly painful for the beginner, requiring you to parse text files or similar. This allows beginner excel users to be productive quickly. Of course, baking node into the browser isn't going to solve that.

"already have it" seems like a fairly simple, common, and oh so fustrating problems especially for services that already know your email. Right now the worst offender for me is IBKR for egigh I get ~10 ads per day on YouTube despite both being linked the the same IP/email/device/browser as he service.

Likewise with Amazon showing you an ad for a product you literally bought minutes ago as if you'd want to buy another before the first arrives or LinkedIn recruiters trying recruit you to your current role.

Specialty equipment like for photography/cycling or 3d printing is the worst. Buy a Sony camera or Peak design tripod and you'll get ads for the same thing for a year. Like accessories and complementary products I'd understand but come on. Just how many thousand dollar cameras do you expect me to buy per month/year?!
That is the whole problem - everything that benefits your body, benefits cancer and vice-versa. Cancer forms all the time - body should handle it when functioning correctly (via immune system).

NAD is essential for many functions, especially longevity as sirtuins require it for proper function.

As far as I know only massive Vitamin C doses uniquely influence cancer in negative manner and get pretty much no effect on non cancer cells. Massive vitamin C infusions (which work via mechanism similar to chemotherapy) while can't cure cancer per se, have potential to make life span and quality of life much longer (toward chronic disease).

That said, all of these reactors have been on platforms surrounded by water and are occupied by hundreds if not thousands of trained (some highly trained) crew 24/7. It goes without saying that many of those crew are also armed or directly tasked with ensuring nobody can tamper with the nuclear power source / any part of the platform. I should also add a very good friend of mine is a nuclear engineer who works on submarines.

I'm not sure it's even fair to compare the operational discrepancies of something as simple as a test / training reactor to a nuclear heat source at a concrete plant?
The cup's context in the talk is that J Blow is discussing how technology is not guaranteed to increase over time, but that we regress as well. The Lycurgus Cup was created in Roman times and showed extremely high levels of technology and skill, to a degree that could only have been achieved by repeated refinement. This technology was then lost.

This is an important observation. Most productivity apps don't end up "working" because they vastly underestimate the complexity of the problem they are trying to solve.

We need to do a far better job of addressing the psychology of self-improvement, one of the most important aspects being how to deal with the inevitable "falling off the wagon".

As you describe well, a naive approach to productivity tends to work at first, but then, as soon as you disengage for a time, they actively work _against_ re-engagement.

I think there is a lot to be figured out in this area.

One other related point is that although an app can't "solve the problem of self-discipline" it _can_ reduce the amount of energy required to "do the right thing" (e.g. by providing a easy to follow system). Since willpower requires energy which is a limited resource, this leaves more of it to apply towards continuing to work towards a goal instead of figuring out how to configure a goal achievement system.
Yes, but I feel like in the end it'll do more good than harm.
I run multiple terminal sessions on a remote box over a single SSH connection through a bastion server. I have an editor in one tab and run my Ansible playbooks Git commands in another, tail logs in a third, etc. You could totally do this in multiple SSH sessions but this is more convenient for me.

I don't know much about homelessness, but I searched and found this map.

https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1400&fn[]=2...

When I checked the box to view percentages, homelessness seems pretty consistent with the major outliers being CA and NY. CA says 26% and NY says 16%, with most everyone else on low single digits. I'm not entirely sure what those numbers mean, though.
The problem for Dropbox is that social media makes these strong arm tactics harder, as the victims have an opportunity to put the company on blast publicly and trash their reputation. 20 years ago companies could do this repeatedly for a longer period of time before they’d gain a reputation for being scummy.
I assume you mean that he should have done that when he noticed the domain was pending renewal? (edited to "renewal", not deletion)

He definitely acted decently overall (and did reach out to the people you mention afterwards). But I can empathize with the author for simply thinking "pending renewal? alright whatever" and later on "pending DELETE? shit I should make sure they're OK!".

I guess there's always what's best in hindsight and what's actually done.

Do you find having to audit Ungoogled Chromium’s patches or trust its contributors (and whoever provides the binaries) a worthy tradeoff compared to having your browser communicate with Google servers? I don’t know whether Eloston is a notable figure in the community, but their GitHub profile links to a parked domain.

Honest question. I am thinking of switching browsers and nothing looks appealing.
It's great that we have all these choices for privacy-focused browsers.

How does https://iridiumbrowser.de/ compare to https://brave.com and https://vivaldi.com ?

It seems like Iridium can install any Chrome plugins and is available in the normal repos for Debian/Ubuntu, FreeBSD, etc (as well as Windows/Mac), but it's not backed by a company (and the company's marketing dollars), so it might be even more privacy-focused. (I do see a lot more crashes with Iridium than Brave on a systemd-removed Debian-based system, however.)

US labels Xiaomi a Communist Chinese military company, US investors to divest
"Thanks to an executive order signed by president Donald Trump in November, that means US investors to sell or divest of any shares in the company by November of this year… although with a new administration coming into the White House next week, a lot can change in the coming months.

[...]

The good news for Xiaomi is that the US hasn’t put the company on its 'entities' list, which would prohibit US companies from doing any business at all with the company. That move, which the US has already taken against Huawei, would cut off Xiaomi’s access to technologies developed by US companies including Qualcomm processors and Google’s Android processors."
I don't think UncleMeat's frustration is that these things are easily resolved but that people aren't getting even the basics right. Like the continuing lay beliefs about "the dark ages". And by doing so people are constructing false narratives of how knowledge has been lost from their own ignorance.
I miss when OpenID was a thing and I could run my own iDP, but that didn't catch on because everyone wanted to be the iDP and not an RP. These days it's a cabal of a few big companies.

> Here’s my pitch: build a browser that comes pre-installed with node.js

Okay, you don't have to know anything about JS or V8 or Node to live a normal life; most people don't and they're fine. But if you're going to complain that you can't "code in the browser" you should try to understand what you're talking about a little more.

This sounds like an elaborate prank.
One of the keys to the US Navy's success is standardization of reactor design, components and training. A sailor can go from one sub to the next and find the reactor plant nearly identical in operation and design as the other within the same class of ship.

Nearly every commercial plant is different in design and components. Imagine if every company you worked for designed, built their own operating system and computers.

HN for me is far too convinced of its own rationality and the rationality of others, leading to arguments based on weird idealised versions of human behaviour at odds with the real world. It could do with being a lot more empirical to be honest, but it's about what I expect from a site with a lot of Silicon Valley-flavoured naïve libertarianism.
When cable came out it was ad free. That was one of the selling points actually.
Thanks for specifying the numbers and the underlying assumptions!

Median in the US is not clear to me - I saw a figure of 60K and 35K within 2 minutes of searching. I think wage earning gets divided across family size, so those 45M people in your calculation, after dividing by family size, would have a much smaller income.

I don’t think it’s because they forgot to vet their dependencies. I think it’s because there’s a culture of “just get it done” that fosters short cuts, and it’s coupled closely with a culture of worship around open source as if it should be implicitly trusted.

The result has been a massive proliferation of perpetually-junior engineers writing code and rising in ranks to run things.
> Regarding social development, my feeling is that Japan is one or two generations behind Western countries.

There are a great many “western” countries where this is even worse than Japan including the one so often named the primordial “western” country.

I have no idea idea why so often when Japanese culture specifically is discussed the idea is sooner or later proffered that there is some homogeneous “western” culture with common elements that supposedly exists. It certainly doesn't seem to rise when, say, Russian, or Indian culture is discussed.

The process for Apple hardware to find and start EFI is described in the "Booting from an Apple File System Partition" section on page 22 of this document. Basically, the EFI image is read from a special block on disk.

https://developer.apple.com/support/downloads/Apple-File-Sys...

The boot process for HFS+ is more involved, because you have to actually read the HFS+ file system to locate the EFI image, since it's stored in a regular file.

I'm not sure what happens after jumping into the EFI code.

Running MatterMost as a Unikernel
I use Firefox, and I've considered using Ungoogled Chromium, but I'm hesitant do so because there are no official, authenticated binaries (see readme notes [1]).

As far as I recall, Ungoogled also doesn't offer automatic updates, probably for the same reason.

I also dislike the fact that it's actually a fork that adds features that have nothing to do with "ungoogling". But that's a minor point.

Yeh, PET scans are eye opening.
I keep seeing notes / zettelkasten / second brain projects posted on HN. But for the HN audience, are any of these satisfying?

As a person who builds software, a decent chunk of the content I would like to gather in a second brain or zettelkasten system is about code (in multiple languages). But the systems I see popping up here are 95% text focused. They typically let you write code snippets, but to run them, or see anything about how they interact, you have to copy them somewhere else and create a suitable environment in which to run them.

The best solution I've managed to set up so far is emacs org-roam set up alongside a set of toy projects, where note files can link to specific lines (it's brittle) in files in those toy projects. I found org-babel too cumbersome to configure, and too hard to deal with code snippets that depend on libraries.

But I hope someone builds something like a zettlekasten + repl.it mashup which removes the setup burden, such that it can be fast and easy to take notes which include a snippet of code from a paper, without having to stop to create a project with a list of dependencies, a build script, etc.
Hah, that's amazing (in a terrible, terrible way).

Browser engine diversity aside, what I'd really be interested in as a user is basically Ungoogled Chromium with a simple plugin interface for sync providers, so you could use a Firefox account, Google account, MS account on a per browser profile basis.

Yup, I just got one of these for my MBA and while I can fit a USB cable in the adjacent port, it's pushed a bit to the side. Also, I have two power adapters, so now I need two of these things or I have to remember to pull the cable adapter end off. You also can't buy just one side.

Universal operating system for a wide variety of hardware, but some expertise is assumed for the user.
