Quite irrelevant at the Spanish level? I don't agree. He is involved in the dirtiest affairs of the Spanish society, from the political parties to the monarchy, including the police force...

But, we agree on that, absolutely irrelevant for HN.
You're right, but most speakerphones still aren't even properly full duplex, much less utopian zoom software for apex cyber virtual orchestras.

The amount of times I'm tripping up on my own words because the last thing I said is blaring out a friends/family mobile speakerphone and then back into the mic is disappointing on all levels, to say the least.
Ask HN: Tool to find similar companies/products?
Could you recommend a tool where we could find similar companies? Let's say I know 1 company which is a good profile to reach out for a sale.

I'd like to find similar ones.

Thx
I don't know which DNS server PiHole uses or whether it's configured to cache normal DNS queries too.

The aim here is to minimize the DNS query turnaround time and reduce the latencies while opening a connection.

When the network is working smoother, Firefox's performance goes up in a disproportional fashion. I didn't notice the same amount of improvement in other network bound stuff but, Firefox went from "meh" to "youjustdidwhat!?" after DNSMasq installation and modem change.

Same thing also happened when I changed my modem 7-8 years ago after my venerable Alcatel Speedtouch died.

So, in retrospect, modem chipset really plays a central role in your home network performance.
You can certainly still use tailwind here.

Otherwise, the point is that you won’t have to jump back and forth—you can just stay on the backend. I’ve actually never used Stimulus Reflex, but in LiveView, I’m writing very small bits of JS maybe 2% of the time.

There can't be. The way the law is written, if Google and Facebook serve any news links in Australia, even from non-Australian sites, Murdoch gets to shake them for unbounded amounts of money.

If you want to understand the day to day issues of real people then please watch the documentary *Pain Warriors* that is about Chronic Pain.

It is five stories, four of people with Chronic Pain, two that ended in suicides. My late wife Karen being one of them. The other story is of a doctor that the Medical Establishment destroyed for helping those with Chronic Pain. It is *NOT* a warm and fuzzy movie to watch.

For full disclosure I am a member of the cast, have been intimately involved in Pain Warriors production for several years. I receive no remuneration of any type. It is my mission to raise awareness of those suffering from Chronic Pain and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks.

Pain Warriors can be found on Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Viemo (for international) and YouTube (sometimes, they are weird). The distributor set the pricing for the platforms and regions so check around for your best place to watch it.

We could really use your help. Our goal is to get Pain Warriors on Nexflix to reach a wider audience. For that to happen we need to have over a 100 positive reviews on The Internet Movie Database (the 100+ positive reviews on the other platforms don't count to Netflix).

Our segment in Pain Warriors is based on what has become known as "Karen's Journal". One reviewer wrote:

"Karen's first-hand account of her illness gave an honest, heart-wrenching depiction of what it is like to live with debilitating pain day-to-day."

Thank You for your help and bring up this subject here.
My experience - I have a TCL Roku TV, no skip button on the remote. When the promos play on Amazon Prime a Skip control (link? button?) appears on the lower left of the screen with focus. If I press OK on my remote it activates and goes right to the content.
The most common reason to use multiple browsers is account isolation (to make tracking harder or to use multiple accounts, e.g. personal+work). At work I just use Firefox as it has handy containers feature built-in. My home laptop is too old and slow to run Firefox comfortably so I use Chrome and Chromium (with different visual styles configured - for easier visual distinction) as 2 separate "containers". I probably am going to start using Vivaldi when I need one more.
A software engineer asking “wtf is user/local/bin in $path”?

IMHO, before all that, programming is admitting before yourself that you are very often wrong (either when coming up with a usable mental model or when applying that mental model or when observing the unforeseen effects).

It's the first leap and as you make it you can manage the emotions and the growth will happen.
Assuming Cameo?
Exactly. My favourite programming experience so far has been Visual Studio. Setting it up is done in one installer that guides you through the process, and after that it just works.

I think a lot of people here forget that people who program no longer need to be "programmers", and understand every aspect of the system. For these people who just want to simulate a model, or do some calculations, or automate a mundane task. For them programming is a means to an end, it's about the result.
I wonder how many folks touch-type with the function keys. I touch-type, but I still need to look down to use the function keys.

As much as I hate banks in general, you are hitting the nail on the head. Low interest mortgages and credit in general start to fly out the window. The huge stock piles of cash they have help mitigate their risks effectively. Lower volume of loans also means a whole lot of financial vehicles people invest in for their retirement, are going to wash up as well. Right now, I dont see a viable replacement outside of private lenders like pay cheque loan and car title loans. Huge interest rates and really predatory capital requirements. Sub 20% interest rates, like it or not, come from all the things digi coins want to get rid of.

Should be noted that our _perception of time_ is subtly different to _sensing of time_; consider our circadian rhythm, relating to the latter [1]:

> The daily light-dark cycle governs rhythmic changes in the behavior and/or physiology of most species. Studies have found that these changes are governed by a biological clock, which in mammals is located in two brain areas called the suprachiasmatic nuclei. The circadian cycles established by this clock occur throughout nature and have a period of approximately 24 hours. In addition, these circadian cycles can be synchronized to external time signals but also can persist in the absence of such signals.

> Circadian rhythms are self-sustaining (i.e., free running), meaning that they will persist when the organism is placed in an environment devoid of time cues, such as constant light or constant darkness. For comparison, see diurnal, infradian, and ultradian.

It's been noted that our "approximately 24 hours" sleep/wake cycle _does_ use external environmental cues (light, hunger) to keep it in check, but in absence of light cues we still generally tend to experience the cyclical 24-hour need to sleep followed by wakefulness. Without the external cues though sleep studies have shown it drifting - more like a 24.5 hour cycle. Can't find a citation for that one, but I remember it from the book "Why We Sleep" [2]

That being said! I just looked it up, and found studies suggesting that ADHD could either be a cause of, or consequence of, sleep disturbances [3]

But tl;dr of my comment is basically that we (mammals) do have a kind of internal clock ("suprachiasmatic nuclei"), which can operate in lieu of external cues -- but maybe we just haven't yet discovered another one of its' cue, which may be magnetic oscillations in the Earth's field..? Maybe this is something we'll have to consider as our astronauts venture further into space, away from Earth's influence [4] - maybe there's more to it than light cues!

They enjoy thinking about set-piece scenarios against enemies who give up and fight the way they want them too.

They're really bad at considering the actual logistical and tactical issues i.e. have they adequately cleared trees and cover from the bunker entrances, are the air intakes able to be shielded from gun fire which might pierce the filter assemblies, do they have adequate overlapping covering positions for them, how do you replace an air intake filter clogged with soot from someone burning a bonfire upwind for a few days, do you have adequate surveillance to cover nightfall?

I mean a fairly obvious problem is that starting a big fire near the bunker is more or less going to both clog the air filters and completely blind and destroy most surface surveillance gear...which let's you get in close and then duct-tape the air intakes up.

Spoon theory is a great way to reduce guilt people who suffer, and simply can’t do as much on a day to day basis.
I can imagine this simplifying the development of B2B SaaS tools that are primarily about presenting and interacting with data. The bit about broadcasting to a large number of clients is harder to see the value of in a Rails application when so many approaches work simply enough already.

As for replacing rich frontend rendering libraries in more complex apps - it seems dicey. Part of the virtue of React is that it simplifies the visual presentation of the frontend based on a constellation of data. Things like highlighted elements, hover states, and dragging items. It seems difficult to enable that level of polish while the backend is making dom-level changes based on the explicit data that you have to deliberately send over the network.
I would love it if Elixir grew in popularity but I’m also happy other ecosystems are hopping aboard this ship. I absolutely love working this way and hope it becomes more of the norm.
There are still people developing efficient and capable game engines. Godot[0] is a good example of one that has achieved widespread success. It's a few dozen megabytes in size, does 2d and 3d, supports VR, and can target Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS and HTML5/WebAssembly. It's open source and free as in beer too.

Personally moved from using Firefox for the last 15yrs over to Brave after the Mozilla CEO called for further internet censorship this week. Sad.
> As a general rule, I consider all "don't be lazy" arguments wrong.

I don't agree nor disagree, but I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy of this argument:

If someone is too lazy to learn how something works, would it not be hypocritical for them to complain about the laziness of other people, that fail to make it easier for them?

And if this lazy person writes their own stuff, would they be diligent enough to make it easier for others?

It would be something different if that person was actually not lazy and, after understanding something, could point out or help implement ways to make the introduction for the next person easier.
But didn't Opera gestures always end on mouse-up? That makes it even more important that a context menu only opens on mouse-up, because otherwise you would potentially both open the menu and execute an action at the same time.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm also based in India and consider Canonical one of my dream places to work at. Hearing this indeed comes as a reality check.
It vastly increases the tracking that FB and Google can do. Bad idea. Also, knowing Google, perhaps they one day decide to discount the oauth login feature?
Is Google search how most people find their news? I’m not a typical user, so I really don’t know, but my sense is that people have a go-to source (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, aggregators like Apple News or yeah, Google News, or loading sites directly like NYT, Fox News, etc.) If they do use Google search, what are they searching for? Do they type “news”, or do they think, hmm, what topics am I interested in today, and search for those directly?
Your "time to digest" is Netflix's "fleeting window of opportunity to keep you engaged" or whatever businessy term describes that.
> Where are all the crazy Irish these days?

as an avid connoisseur of Irish haute-memes ...

I suppose this story is also what inspired the famous Irish 1998 classic blockbuster "Fatal Deviation" a Kung-Fu film that never received the recognition it deserved and which is the perfect film for a first date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPne3Wh0lqk

- Then there is this guy who does a life stream of his flight simulator journeys only he takes you to the most depressing locations in Ireland such as Tesco's parking lot of a rural town on a Sunday etc. Unfortunately I can't find his channel but he kept popping up in recommendations last year.
When you bond with somebody with Lupus or another severe illness or who generally has it worse than yourself you can now better understand how they live their life. Many people don't know how such things affect a person on a daily basis. You just learned something about the human condition. Isn't that something?

You don't have to do something at all.
I have developed a blog about ALS disease (Lou Gehrig disease). [0]

I wrote also a book about the state of ALS research (updated on February 1) [1]

I would be interested in exploring the idea of using Cell Penetrating Peptides (or PROTAC) to either relocate or remove entirely TDP-43 aggregates. It could be studied at low cost on Ciona (an aquarium animal that looks like a plant). If someone is interested my email address is in my profile.
Ciona intestinalis has motor neurons and can even regenerate its entire nervous system in only one month!

I use both chrome and Firefox all the time to separate work and personal, plus dev testing (yes I have a lot of RAM :-D

It seems to be that Firefox uses more cpu and better on memory, whereas chrome is the opposite (although by by means is chrome "light" on cpu).
As if that wasn't enough, the full complaint shows that after all that scrolling and clicking (I lost count), an email is sent with a big yellow button, and the website starts showing the same button, "Continue your membership", which re-subscribes with a single click.
*sigh*

I would pay a lot of money for a service like the one Dropbox was in in its first few years. That is the service that I need now, not all this shiny crud.

I've been a Dropbox user for 12+ years.

I imagine it as buying a car 10 years ago because it solved all your mobility needs (shopping, occasional longer trips, dropping kids/family members to their events etc). You wander into the garage 12 years later and you have this monstrosity with five wheels, built-in backseat crayons, 20-feet long, flippers, and just two functional doors.

I don't need that. I certainly don't want that, and I'm actively looking to move away when my annual renewal comes up.
Maybe because those things don't directly have anything to do with country being corrupt, which was the question? There could be some indirect connection, but corruption and quality of life are not exactly the same things.
Same here, and I told everyone else.

The site is still up.

Go ahead and do so, please.

You keep saying that things could be better but show no counterexample.

Lead the change or stop whining. Nobody is going to do the job for you if they're satisfied by their current tools, especially if they think you're wrong.

Do it and prove everyone else wrong. If everyone thinks the status quo can't be improved, but you're enlightened, it's your chance to turn your "likely can be improved" into reality.

The non-programmer user base is immense. You can get rich by selling your alternative.

Does Google want out entirely of Australia, or just for Google News?

This article seems to confuse the two, as if the user never used Google. (What's that bit about "yellow pages for internet"? Does he describe catalogues from the 90s? What?)

> The command line is a layer of abstraction that could be made unnecessary for programming.

Wow, if I ever saw a comment on HN that was fundamentally wrong on many levels, this was it.

No, a command line interface is not "a layer of abstraction". A command line interface is an interface. That's it. Instead of pressing a button, you run a command. If you want to pass settings to an app when you launch it, you use the command line interface. If you want to script away a task, you call the command from your script.

That's it. It's not a layer of abstraction. It's an interface. They exist for many good reasons.
Also there's no iOS app.
Right, as far as I understand it originally was just short for "user". It's where home directories of users were placed. Now that it's been relegated to storing user-usable programs & data it makes sense to me that it's separate from say /Users, but I suppose it could be aliased to something like /UserProgramsAndData for verboseness and clarity to newer users. But regardless, "User System Resources" is a fairly useful phrase, it's there to separate their system resources (programs & data) from their personal resources (which should be in their user directory).

But, a system _does_ have users. Those users _do_ have programs. There's a hierarchical relationship. I've been following along with your comments in this thread and I just don't follow what you're getting at here.
It's not devaluing the work, any more than Einstein's theory of relativity being used in GPS (but not paying his estate/family) is devaluing the work.

The value of curl is not being captured by the creators of curl. The value being captured by the users of curl means that more value was generated every time someone uses curl. The act of capturing value is not frictionless, and having the value be captured can mean that the value is not generated in the first place.
There's no reason why an org can't multitask their future plans. They more or less were forced to cut their own costs because their competitors owned the infrastructure they run on, they could never run cheaper than their competitors. Any good business leaves business roadmaps to different executives. Infrastructure doesn't need to be the primary concern of sales and product managers who should be plotting the growth of the company externally while a CTO is left to handle the "internal growth" of the company to match.

Their true problem regardless is staying relevant in a market where the competitors offer better value through bundling as entire IT and cloud platforms. There's no point for businesses to use Dropbox when Microsoft provides Onedrive for Windows businesses and Google provides gdrive with gsuite. Hell for consumers, Apple and Microsoft provide seamlessly integrated storage in their operating systems.

Dropbox can spend years developing their own office suite tools but they'll never be able to breach the brainshare and stability that the titans provide. There's only so many ways you can "innovate" file handling before you are flogging a dead horse or repainting a car tire for the 50th time.
Dropbox's only chance was to breach heavily into cloud office suites _before_ google and microsoft jumped in full speed, which they didn't and the ship has sailed.

Does it mean they can't stay alive? Well, they are floundering and playing catch up is difficult. Even Box is eating their business lunch and carving a niche because they offer a true professional business interface for IT admins to configure everything, down to legal compliance requirements. Dropbox is a fucking toy in comparison too focused on minimal hipster UIs based on a design language they originally used for consumers and have tried to force it onto business for more years than they should have.
I don’t understand this one. TFA requests a way to agree on problems without requiring commitment on solutions?

If so, I think that’s terrible. It’s easy to agree that I need to lose weight, but that won’t help get me to the gym.

Worse, I could drum up support for some worthwhile cause but neglect to tell supporters that my favorite solution has horrible side-effects.
I am cancelling it the moment the expanse is over.

Worst part is, prime crashes my TV's video player. Once that happens I am not able to play any video at all, even on other apps. And ads made it worse since it usually crashes as I switch videos and adds are more video switching.
Won't it lead to less accurate pricing of loans if there is only one central actor using rigid rules (needed to appear fair)?
that's a great point, but. Just like the moon landing, some degree of food security in the "first world" countries has been achieved many decades ago now. Maybe it's time for some new achievements, like, i dunno, security against mystery viruses, or something else to write home about?
There are a lot of wonderful upsides to this approach, yes.

It’s just... people think those technologies are congruent but the overlaps are actually minimal.

For any rather sophisticated UI you can (and will want) to use both.

For example: repaint a data visualization. With Hotwire you can only replace it and start fresh, with SR you can just surgically morph data attributes without disconnecting your stimulus controllers
