Had loads of brain fog for 2-3 years straight in college. Kept gradually getting worse, changed about 20 docs, nobody knew how to treat it and they thought I had mental health problems.

Then I took matters in my own hands, joined some forums and subreddits, turn out loads of people were like me. Literally thousands of people in online communities had undiagnosed Low Testosterone. Most docs are uneducated about this as they just look at the blood test lab results, and group everyone from age 20 to age 70 in the same category. Went to a mens health doc, gave me TRT, symptoms gone in a week. Literally saved my life and career, I almost dropped out of college. I put my dad on TRT too, and litterally I tell everyone about this. The Low T epidemic is a really serious issue!
We did is and is amazing! All the claims are true and worth it. If your stack is Linux Based you can be up and running within hours: Our stack is based on NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL
Wow, obvious bias much? Great way to engage in reasonable, level headed conversation is to lead with telling people they should be ashamed for not holding your values and opinions. I honestly can't think of a better way to demonstrate to most people why they _should_ get a Mac than to just show off comments like yours.
My two cents: https://www.finmoorhouse.com/writing/micropayments

The bottom line is network effects, I think.
It depends on your hourly rate and availability. Debian is one of the oldest distributions, stable, binary packages. You can install and get to work. If you need latest packages, you can run the testing version (or Kali Linux)

Arch is a Gentoo light experience, from what I understand. I used Gentoo when I was a student, but now have no time to fiddle with operating system compilation for 3 days and use Debian or Debian based.

Same here, I'm way behind on podcasts. The only time I listened to them was when I was driving.
It is good to know who your representative is and for a representative to be able to visit their district and have community meetings so they can (in theory) represent the interests of the people in that community. If the district is spread across the state like avocado on toast, you aren't really representing anyone.
The website has a new look and feel, but there is something I found really annoying. If you go to the Plugin page you might be thrilled (like me) to see Telegram and Whatsapp icons among many others suggesting the possibility of making Pidgin your nirvana IM. Well, the Whatsapp plugin in not updated since 2016. So... that was a real bummer. I'd be nice to review that plugin list and be more precise about what's available and what's not.

My analogy is more: When the giant dinosaurs are fighting amongst themselves, us little mammals can scurry about and survive :-)
Yes, because they want you to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription and you just want to read one article and maybe never come back to their site. But if I can do a 1-click "pay 1/2 cent" to read the rest of the article that would be totally fair
The idea is akin to a driver going through a modern toll. They take a photo of your license plate and send you a bill in the mail after looking it up in the state registry. For those who registered (have an express RFID chip or similar), that process is cheaper and you get a cheaper bill that is summed up each month/quarter.

To stay strictly with the analogy, 1) what is our online license plate? 2) how would one send a bill after translating license plate to home address?

To me, these are fundamental web browser capability deficits. Tim Berners-Lee envisioned this and put some HTTP response codes in the registry with a TODO bookmark and never got around to it or something like that. It is possible but we will have to call in the committee.
I think the large things in my admittedly limited experience were hooks and context API. Which in a sense isn't a massive change, but the problem is that just like the author of this article mentions, now there are more ways for things to be done, and moreover, because React is a small framework itself, all your 20+ dependency libs have probably moved on and implemented everything with hooks. So now you pretty much need to learn hooks, the context API and throw out your prior domain knowledge from 2018 because whether you like it or not, you gotta still adapt to hooks, because that is the new thing now and the libraries you rely on are now using the new API and approach.

If I was a full-time web-developer, I'd maybe be willing to live with the churn of the JS ecosystem, but as someone who enjoys software engineering and building fun projects, the churn is simply exhausting and a big turn-off. I spent a year doing a lot of intensive React + Electron + D3 + MobX and all the associated stuff (webpack, npm, node, etc) in 2018, and then at some point I realized its like being on a hamster wheel and you gotta keep going frantically just to stay up to date with the newest libs and toys and APIs and current group think. Meanwhile, a year spent just writing and learning good software in Python (for example), gains me so much more transferable skills to anything I touch as a software engineer in the future.

I still like the power of being able to make user-interfaces easily and there are plenty of things I enjoyed about developing web/electron-apps, but ultimately I was just turned off by how much continuing investment of your time it requires just to stay relevant in the field without imho adding any real value to actual software engineering skills.

I had the same experience with Epoccam, it was far too unreliable to actually use for meetings. Thanks for the pointer to Camo.

In the end I ponied up for Logitech C920, I think it's worth the money rather than fussing with a phone, apps, etc..
I am with you. This makes no sense to me. But I also have wrapped userdata or account data in a generated hash to quickly have access to the underlying account info / expiration info etc. I think it is easier to justify why to implement vs. why not to implement.
This is the first release targeting macOS, I'm not pretending their chips for phones don't exist - but the M1 is still version 0 for macs.

> "And frankly I don't really see the pull of ARM/M1 anyway. I mean, I can get a laptop with extremely competitive Ryzen for way cheaper than MacBook with M1..."

Respectfully, I strongly disagree with this - to me it's equivalent to someone defending the keyboards on a palm treo. This is a major shift in capability and we're just seeing the start of that curve where x86 is nearing the end.

“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”
I'm kinda happy they're not. It'd be much harder to track expenses that way, and literally everyone would be constantly asking for money.
The main reason I don't sign up for more paywalled things is not concerns about money, it's sheer inertia. Signing up takes effort, and it's yet another subscription to manage.

That extends to relatively low-friction cases like Patreon. The number of podcasters and bloggers where I've thought, quite earnestly, "I really like what this person is doing, I should kick a few quid their way," and then just not done that is near infinite. And it's never because I was feeling stingy; it's because I couldn't be arsed.
So everyone in this thread is wrong. It's a 24" pizza :)
Well, is this M1 really _that_ good to commit considerable amount of time into it instead of working on something more meaningful or benefitting ones personal life more? Are they able to make a commercial product out of it?
Unless it gives the person the same kick as fishing or building Lego - but these hobbies don't have a side effect of filling the pockets of a big co.

The idea about "cheaper Mac" is weak, because you can already buy a cheap Mac - it's not going to be the latest gen, but let's take into account that Intel has not made big progress in the last couple of years and then M1 is actually on the affordable side.

Isn't actually more damaging to their brand that they don't support their products that will benefit professional users and that they rely on people doing work for free and thus Apple is avoiding paying fair share?
Miranda was (is) awesome, I love that it is styled after the original ICQ client. It still worked with Google Chat and FB Messenger the last time I tried it (<2 years), but the list of people I know who actively use gchat has declined from dozens to 5 or fewer.
Thats the same story someone I know that works at Apple told me. They would like to put a better camera in there as much as we would like one, but its not economical at the moment.
Yep even if we end up paying more than we would have with separate billing, we don't care. It's a mental burden, I feel the same way.
A good idea in most parts of the world is not to measure $$$ but to measure compensation in sq. ft. of real estate per year. At my lowest-paid job (professor at top-30 school), i was paid 107 sq ft of take-home pay per year. I quit that tenure-track job @2y and took another job that paid 1800 sq. ft. per year. I currently earn about 300 sq. ft per year.
I agree with the concern of the server code being out-of-date.

I know the consensus seems to be that it’s E2E so you “don’t need to trust the server”, but still as a principle it seems strange to be so out of date.

Perhaps more importantly, I believe Signal doesn’t have reproducible builds for their iOS client app[0] * whereas, interestingly, it seems Telegram does [1].

For me, the combination of out of date server code and non-reproducible iOS client binaries mean that for all my support of Signal (I donated during their recent outage) the benefits of this being a fully “open source” message solution are somewhat devalued.

Not to be too down on them though, I don’t touch WhatsApp with a barge pole, so they’re still my favoured messaging platform.

* Not necessarily entirely Signal’s fault because, of course, Apple doesn’t make this easy.

USSR used slave workforce in the recent times, and didn't care that much about feeding them. If slaves are cheaply replaceable, economic incentives alone won't likely produce any reason for liberation.
I would love a browser add-on to go with this to gather up the links as you browse. I used to do this with mailephant (now defunct) that allowed me to queue up links and snippets of text related to links in a nice list to email along with an email template. good work and definitely useful.
Companies prefer stable income, even when it means making less overall. It makes it easier to plan future spending.
At a glance, I'd be unclear on what set of scenarios they expect the site to help out with. The person would need to type the right search term and hopefully land on the right result. If they wanted to use the navigation, it seems hovering over the menu items doesn't show you the structure of the site-- you need to click into each individual tab. It's pretty but hard to gauge how useful it is.
I get this, but also there's a class of things where we know we're constantly being charged by use, and we don't constantly think about it.

Gas, electricity, water are all cases where my use is metered, I _could_ try to micromanage it on a daily basis, but so long as my bills don't vary wildly from month to month, I don't pay especially close attention. To the degree that I self-regulate my use, it's more about the environment than the dollar cost. I don't think about it every time I take a shower or turn up my thermostat.

The amount of online stuff from for-profit institutions I read from month to month doesn't vary that much, and if I knew from habit what the typical range was, I think I could learn to be ok with that. But the current experience, where whenever someone links to something in a _different_ paywall than the ones I'm already in, I do have to think "would it be worth it to pay for this source?" and often the answer is "no".
I have always wondered how companies managed CI/CD infrastructure with PCI or SOC2 requirements, given that there have to be a lot of manual approvals and acknowledgements through the delivery process.
That's not the only thing. It's the hassle as well.

First they want you to sign up for an account. Give a lot of personal data. Then set up a payment model, often recurring. Just to read one article? No way.

Micropayments will save some of that hassle but I don't want to have an account with every news site linked to by HN.
> Making alcohol should be legal. Specifically selling it to a kid is not legal, because then you are specifically helping them commit a crime.

This seems reasonable.

> Likewise I don't blame steel mills for producing steel that is later used in guns wielded by dictators on their own people.

So far, a steady train of thought

> I sure do blame the people that sell the guns to said dictators with full knowledge of their likely use case though.

This is a bit of a jump. Up to this point, you had a gradually growing line of argument, but then jumped straight to selling guns to dictators.

There's a step right before, and that's manufacturing the gun itself — is that acceptable in your view? I think most people agree that selling guns to dictators is bad, but whether or not the gun should be manufactured at all, and sold to police and militaries of countries with republican governments is debatable.

Palantir does not work with "dictators". At least according to their IPO S-1 filing, as a matter of policy they only work with US and her allies. Whether you think that NATO states constitute "dictators" is an orthogonal and controversial claim. If you agree that NATO defense agencies and local police departments don't constitute "dictators", then you would agree that what Palantir is doing here, per your analogy, is "making alcohol", but not "selling it to a kid".
Governments using private companies to decide who deserves to die based on ML algorithms without judge or jury is morally reprehensible. Full stop.

Most often and historically governments used poorly fed fellows (companies of privates instead of private companies) to decide who lives or dies. Is decision by ML morally different? Does it have the redemptive possibility of making better more informed decisions?
Hear, hear! I would love to give money to a "read-the-article.com" and have them dole out money on a per-article basis for articles I read online. They can make money on the float.

Google & Apple should waive their 30% for this.
maybe whats needed is a system that tallies up the sites you've visited and at the end of the month you can just say, allocate 5 bucks among them. Or if you've had a rough month, maybe don't give anything. Maybe you can distribute you payments once a year. Or make slight adjustments to it and not give a site any money if you feel.
> Theming was HUGE in Linux back in 2005-2010

Eh? Theming was fizzling out by 2005, which starts to correspond to the rise of OS X and Macbooks.

Enlightenment came out in 1997 and was all about theming. But theming predated E by a few years already.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(software)

This is what I would call the "golden years" for Linux theming. Late '90s to early 2000s.

> Windows look and feel was never really a thing, nor was theming because of the same thing.

I mean. Did you even read the article you're commenting on? Windows 3.11 had themes. Windows 95 had Microsoft Plus:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Plus!

> Then GNOME 3.0 came and they went for the consistently branded experience approach

This happened way before GNOME 3 was a thing. GNOME 2, Xfce, and others stopped their obsession with Windows and started thinking about OS X, which was eating the desktop UNIX lunch.
The answer to this, which I am a little surprised no one has tried to implement (maybe someone has tried?), is to charge the end customer in some larger amount - say $5 or $10, and then draw down the micro transaction amount as you go. So if you could pay $5 a month (or at a time) but gain access to every article, site, video, piece of content etc, and it auto deducts from your balance then you don't have the transaction cost to manage with the CC, and you don't have the friction of purchasing. The challenge here is like any two sided marketplace - you need consumers to pay, and then you need content providers to sign on to get enough on offer for it to be worth it for both sides.
Have you ever worked in an IT support position? It’s stunningly common and accurate
What types of feedback did you get through end users so far regarding their expectations for information density?
This looks awesome! Thank you for making it and thank you even more for open sourcing it.

A link for one off donations would be nice. Wonder is patreon does that.

I recently found out about up next (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/up-next) but was mot really happy with the limited features and subscription based model. You might want to add it to your “similar to” readme section.
Applebee's can add charge points without any increase in real estate (as an example). The ongoing logistics of having chargers in the parking lot is pretty different than running a gas station.

Which is to say, quickly fueling up at a convenience store probably won't be the only way people charge their vehicles going forward.
Saw "Wild lynx could be reintroduced" and I wondered what environment used to have a browser but then didn't.
Yep. I actually ran into that while using Iconduck to find a link & GitHub icon haha. I had to download it, then view source, etc. I need to figure out an updated preview modal UI to accommodate that and PNG downloading, but it should be very doable in the next few days.
That's pricing in the risk of taking the charge. The $10 transaction is 10x as risky to a credit network's bottom line as the $1 transaction. That's also why the debit percentage is lower.

Notice how the only counter examples you came up with are legacy applications. This is the first sign of a declining market. No, Intel will not go out of business tomorrow. But they are still dead.

The growth markets will drive the price of ARM parts down and performance up. Meanwhile x86 will stagnate and become more and more expensive due to declining volumes. Eventually, yes, this will apply enough pressure even on niche applications like engineering apps to port to ARM. The military will likely be the last holdout.
For whatever reason this is not well documented, but all the theme's colors are available with a special syntax in the CSS: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/master/gtk/theme/A...

So for example you should be using this to use the user's foreground and background color:

color: @theme_fg_color;
background-color: @theme_bg_color;

You can use some modifier functions on those colors too to compute additional colors: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/ch39s02.html

I would suggest against trying to piggy back on built-in CSS styles; usually with the default widgets you want to favor composition over inheritance. But if you really need to you can use the GTK inspector to look at the styles on any given system widget, that should be a bit easier than grepping through the CSS.
As gaim it was indepensible to someone like me at the time, a late 90s american teenager exploring Linux.

But new, younger people are coming up every day and not all of them are up on the old hits. AIM is totally dead, and even some of the other protocols you might use pidgin for, like standard xmpp, as I used to do with pidgin and gtalk, are not as relevant as they were before.
It's also highly toxic and a leak in the wrong place could kill thousands of people.
On the gaming front, I've been trying GeForce Now recently and while it may not be great for competitive FPS games, it has otherwise destroyed any reason why I'd ever purchase another gaming PC unless they start jacking up the monthly price. It works on basically all platforms (including my iOS devices), it doesn't spin up my MBP's fans and doesn't eat through battery life. I don't have to worry about ARM vs x86, I don't even get locked in to the platform like Stadia, it connects to Steam, Epic and GOG.
Apple willingly or not increased their market share? Seriously, the AstroTurf in this thread is off the charts.

When using pre-built Postgres packages on modern ARM platforms, like the author of this post is, double check that the Postgres binaries are actually using the ARMv8.2 assembly instructions.

This can make a significant performance difference, and at least for the RPM-based official Postgres packages this is a problem: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CACN56%2BP1astF5zvocrT...
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. What does gender have to do with population density? I chose population density, because it was the only value that I could think of that closely correlated with culture and that was not a protected status (ie, not race, religion, sex, etc). If it's done algorithmically, it doesn't seem like a bad measure.

Anyhow, the "who gets to choose" thing is tough. Right now legislators get to choose, but the judges said that they are failing at that, so IIRC, now an academic from a state university got to make some map adjustment. Ideally, I'd have a committee of academics provide vetted map recommendations that elected officials choose from, and that a judge signs off on.
>> Sarcasm aside, what they're really doing when the sun is out in summer: Lying in the sunlight, eating, walking, eating, hiding under a bush, hiding under piece of wood, bathing, etc all the way until they're 80. Quite peaceful animals

Are you still talking about your pet turtles here? because that lifestyle is not natural for them. If they tried too much lying in the sunlight in the wild they would quickly get eaten by some predator.
> the specs being nearly identical

graviton2 are real cores while amd/intel is SMT vCPU's.
So 2x real cores difference.
There've been several projects that did exactly that. Like Brave with their BAT tokens. But it never took off.

Personally I don't like them because these things don't normally opt you out of ad tracking as well. When I pay I want to be the customer and not be tracked. I also don't want to give any personal details. They know nothing about me when I buy a newspaper in the shop. It should be like this :)
I made the jump on one of my databases soon after Graviton 2 was officially supported on RDS. I'm running a small (~500 GB stored data) DB on db.m6g.large with PG 12.4. It's a tiny bit cheaper and performs modestly better than the Intel based instance it was running on before. There haven't been any problems or externally visible changes since the switch.

Ask HN: What service do you use for load testing Kubernetes deployments?
I have a Kubernetes cluster built with around 10 different deployment pods running on AWS EKS. I am looking to simulate "real-world" traffic and load before going live with the deployment to determine if the number of pods and number of nodes in the Kubernetes cluster is optimal also how the application performs.

The applications are python and have a standard HTTP web interface with an API REST backend.

Prefer a SaaS (paid ok) service. Recommend any tools to accomplish this? Chrome headless support (simulate clicking, forms) and also HTTP endpoint support (with auth) are required.
Hardly. Apple has nothing to offer for high end gaming and I don't think they care about it.

For me it's Linux with AMD both for CPU and GPU.
Pidgin was an excellent IM tool particularly on Linux desktops, but there were numerous times when I'm at someone else's computer and a web-based IM client like Meebo came in handy.
