Absolutely untrue. Art is something that can make you think and elicit emotion.
Actually, for about 1700 you have the Blackbird BK1B01 mainboard + cpu from Raptor, with 4 cores, 16 threads: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1B01/intro.html

I bought two of these last year and they're great, stuff your own memory in there, add some storage and off you go.

Edit: clarified that this would be a mainboard + CPU.
I meant the dirt, not the TBM itself.
I'm a random person on the internet and we're unlikely to cross paths, but I would _strongly_ recommend hiring a good HR advisor and people who can explain the problems in your comment. Admitting your mindset isn't productive is hard, but I'd recommend some introspection here.

> Yes, I'm a white male, but I'm considering hiring people for the first time and this sort of thing TERRIFIES me because I genuinely want to help out whoever I can

You're not "helping out" by hiring a women, or a person of color. This mindset has set you up for failure before even starting.

> What would I do if my nonwhite, nonmale (or both) hire just isn't working out (for valid reasons) but I can't yet afford to fight a discrimination lawsuit?

If there's a valid reason, then there won't be a discriminiation lawsuit.

> Eventually I realize I NEED more diversity

"Eventually" is too late. Hire a diverse team from day 1. This comment suggests that "diversity", however you define it, is sub-optimal and a burden to be carried.

> but now I've created the perfect conditions for discrimination lawsuits by having an all-white, all-male company

This is a problem of your own making by not making the effort to hire a more diverse team from day 1. The additional potential legal costs are a cost associated with this approach.

Edit: "hourglass-figure adorer" in your HN bio is a bit of a concern. Does this have a meaning I'm not aware of, or is part of your public, profesisonal persona the enjoyment of a particular female body shape?
If you vibe with this article, you might be interested in the framework device ecosystem. They're about to release a laptop, and a mobile device is also in the plans.

While this will not provide the kind of freedom on the software side that the thread seeks, at least you get the freedom to choose the hardware components that run your device.

You may have peanut butter with 7-10% of hydrogenated oil. In my local stores in Switzerland we only find those, we ended up making it ourself.
Even with a 100000x speed up, that probably puts it more in the territory of cool demo than actual production use, except for very specialized usecases (the overhead for current FHE methods is utterly insane).

In principle, the main use case is cloud based algorithm as a service. If google has some service it wants to sell to users but it doesn't want to reveal how it works and the users dont trust google with their private data they can use FHE. The user data is encrypted so google can't extract anything from it to do evil with. The proprietary software stays on google servers so nobody can steal the algorithm. Everyone wins (except of course the progress that would be made if the algorithm was open).

FHE is a really unique primitive, i expect when demos become practical people will come up with new interesting use cases.

There's also some applications to identity-based/attribute-based encryption and multi-party computation, although i doubt that's coming to average consumer any time soon
Choosing an OS doesn't mean you get to own it unless you choose Linux.
Not really. Meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and most nuts are unprocessed, and there are people who argue that's exactly what you should eat and nothing more.

To me it seems the problem here is applying statistical population data to individuals. Those "differences" in interests usually are ranges of interest with big enough overlapping areas. Oversimplifying this by only thinking about means or medians is a horrible way to judge individuals.

Even if most women prefer to work with people as opposed to working on things, it does not tell you anything about the specific candidate one is considering for a job.

Regarding the quote from the article: It was used to dismiss the idea of also going to high schools instead of just going to colleges to promote the companies opportunities. So while going into high schools to promote job opportunities in tech likely can not eliminate that general difference in interests, it can have an effect on those women who would be interested but are not convinced or aware (enough) yet.
I will absolutely cheer your right to stop selling your IP. I may not cheer your _decision_ to do so, but that decision remains yours.
What's swamp dog?
But we've had abundance of food in the 20th century long before the obesity epidemic.

From a recruitment point of view, specialist, from a company POV, generalist.
I just bought a 3+, shipped to Australia via a friend in Austria. I'm glad to hear that your 2 has lasted, albeit the phone I replaced was also about 5 years old (a Samsung, from the days when those had replaceable batteries and uSD slots. And on battery number three, although I am pretty sure battery number two was a fake because it never worked properly)

I'd love to run a more open software stack, but even just Linux on the top layer would mean not running the apps I need to get through daily life... it's why I had to retire my perfectly working Android 3 phone, so many things stopped working (the Covid tracking app FFS). But under linux are the various radio, camera, wifi etc modules and a lot of those have their own firmware. Pinephone has really struggled with that.
> It's better to have leftover fruit than to use plastic.

As I wrote, this is not obvious. Leftovers require energy and resources to produce, transport, and possibly destroy. Energy and resources imply pollution.

This is very similar to the plastic vs. glass problem. One intuitively thinks that glass is better, but when transport pollution is included in the equation, glass is not necessarily better anymore.
But I also need a mac for signing, don't I? Like, a Mac Mini? That's the most annoying part, tbh. I feel fine-ish for paying 8 $ a month for my dev account (if you calculate it that way), but buying additional, expensive hardware? No, not really.
But then you are not using FHE, but something with much weaker security properties.

It’s not far-fetched to imagine that by the end of the decade, a fair percentage of people’s Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok feeds will be generated characters based on their preferences as learned by the network. Engagement will be maximized because you’ll never be “all caught up.” There will always be a completely brand new image created on the fly available to capture your attention.
Raptor systems are not fairly open, they're fully open. Purism and to a lesser extent System76 could be classified as fairly open though.
I seriously doubt either Intel or AMD ship different silicon to the NSA or whoever else. At least from what I've read, the only difference (at least on Intel) is the "NSA bit", that can actually be turned on on any chip these days. System76 actually ships machines with it enabled by default.
It would have been interesting to learn if Dan spent any time/effort advertising the book, and perhaps if it was financially worthwhile.

> It's a human problem, and like most problems of this genre there is no "best" answer

For this specific problem (Google Meet UX/UI) sure anyone agree with: don't put a destructive action that requires no confirmation (leaving the meeting) next to a common action (mute/unmute yourself). If designers don't get that right, sorry but they are not competent designers. It's like a programmer that, in order to "balance enormous numbers of competing constraints and concerns" decides to not escape user-provided HTML in the frontend. Well, that programmer is not a competent one.
Gray area. Peanut butter that is not from 100% peanuts is definitely processed food.
Could you give the name of the source of unsweetened protein powder please? I’ve looked and couldn’t find any, and the artificial sweeteners mess my gut up and give me anxiety so I can’t take protein supplements as a result.
This development is great news for automotive, since modern coreutils can't be used there because of the anti-tivoisation clause conflicting with government regulations, which forces vendors to use old unsupported versions.
I’ll get hammered for my statement because it’s beyond antidotal. I’m also a bit superstitious, and feel I should just dummy up right now.

I’ve noticed some people just have good teeth, and others are not so lucky.

I’ve been down on my luck for years now. Close to being homeless. I haven’t been to a dentist in over two decades. I still have my all my teeth, except wisdom which I had pulled proactively when I had insurance.

Why do I still have my teeth, and my gums don’t bleed, or are recessed?

1. I feel it’s because I developed a neurotic compulsion to pick my teeth with those disgusting disposable tooth picks, with the floss. (I say disgusting because I see them discarded everywhere, and I worked for the inventor of the product. (Actually his wealthy father invented them, and fully funded his sailboating brat of a son a son to peddle them. He is now a 1 percenter, and yes—I’m jealous.

2. I’ve tried to use an ultrasonic toothbrush once a day.

3. I don’t eat much sugar, but I eat a lot of carbs?

4. Buy a few dental cleaning picks/tools, and learn how to scale your teeth yourself. If you’re gentile, and use common sense, you can get most of the gunk off. Below the gum line is another story though?

Take what I said with a grain of salt. A dentist told me 20 years ago, “you have great teeth, but let’s wait for the X-ray, and look at the bone. He said I got lucky.

I hope my next exam goes the same way?
That was supposed to be an honest question with an honest answer. There was no need for a snarky remark. But yes, totally.

The topic is about owning your own hardware/software combo - so having addons/customization is the definition of it.
Congrats, you have just negated the second factor in 2FA by having all your keys at one place in one application.
I think Spotify has to take the award for worst design decision of recent history.

They changed their interface last year to add a "hide this song" option in the menu _right where add to playlist used to be_. While hide song is useful, why is it very high up in the menu (when you have to scroll for other options that are more frequently used) _and why is it where the most used button, add to playlist was_. It totally broke my muscle memory for no good reason.
Aren't most nuts roasted? I mean that's the same as cooking vegetables basically, so it should be fine. A lot of nuts do have added salt though, or caramelized sugar for extra goodness.
Gotcha, that's completely fair and not something I'd considered. Thanks!

As a vague counter point, I use Firefox Focus[0][1] which touts the tracker blocking and ad blocking I'd rely on extensions for normally. It meets my needs as the only additional extensions I use on desktop are for tab and session cookie management, both of which are moot points in a browser without tabs and a "clear cookies after each session" policy.

I remember when talking to another tourist in Japan, he was like: this food is all crap, it is mostly carbohydrates. Nowadays I think, it probably doesnt matter what you eat, but how much.
I'm more so interested in performance and size comparisons.

Most different implementations of the coreutils have different goals in mind. GNU's implementation, as is common of GNU is to treat memory for performance, and busybox's attempts to achieve the converse. — so what is the purpose of this one? simply being written in Rust?

How does it compare to the established ones?
Supposedly it's in here [1] and only two people have access to it/know it. But I think it's safe to say that it's just to create a mystique around a boring FMCG and the truth is much less exciting.

The local grocer has a machine with a hopper full of peanuts. Push the button and it squirts out peanut butter into your container. It's cheaper, too, than the jarred peanut butter. No downsides there!
In the sense that it's part of the history of the decline and fall of MIPS. In terms of performance, software availability, desirability or anything else, well not so much :-)
His only risk is being unable to pay, the deal being canceled and ultimately losing payments (which according to him were paid for by the business generating a profit, so he never risked his own money). Since the seller lent the business to him he didn't even have to provide upfront capital.
What is the conflict between GPL3's anti-tivoisation clause and government regulations?
I don't agree that PoW's massive energy consumption is excused by your argument, but it is true that for every employee an enterprise has to employ to provide its goods/services, there's massive associated energy consumption.

I remember reading that the extra food that a cyclist consumes, and the energy required to grow and transport it, far exceeds the energy that is used by a bus per passenger.

Humans are high maintenance machines, and cryptocurrency, in automating previously manual processes done by humans, could potentially result in major energy savings. But not in Bitcoin's iteration, where it's consuming as much energy as whole countries, to process only 300,000 transactions a day.
Ask HN: Would you consider hiring an MVP agency to build your MVP?
Hello, to be completely honest this post is for research.

We are product builders by heart. Over the last 7 years, we've built many MVPs of our own products and some for others as well.

With our latest product/startup, we built an amazing MVP and started talking to investors with the idea of raising. But it didn’t feel right. It wasn't what we wanted to do. We realized we enjoy being in the early phase of the product (prototype/MVP) instead of building a big startup that is destined to become a unicorn.

That's why we want to help others build and grow their own business by being a small & specialised product team dedicated to delivering only prototypes and MVPs. The idea is to offer a 3-week sprint dedicated to building an MVP with clear and measurable results - exactly as we do for our own products.

Where I see the value:
- So non-technical founders or founders who are yet to build their tech team are able to validate their idea and raise seed capital
- To help scaling startups stay innovative and exceptional even under the pressure that comes from focusing on the core problem. By building a satellite product or validating new vertical / problem space.
- So companies whose core IP isn't tech / digital can keep up with the digital innovation in the correct way. To validate their idea of solution to specific problem by quickly building MVP / prototype and not spending millions on agency work that might not have any impact.

I am curious - Did you ever consider hiring an external team to build your MVP?
If so, at what stage? If not, why?

I'd be more than grateful to hear your insight or any idea you might have.

Thank you! :)

I live in Germany. We have some roundabouts. And let me tell you: they rarely work better than red lights. Traffic flow requires more than roundabouts. They require proper planning, green waves, proper sizing and still different lanes for roundabouts. Don’t forget about semis either. Just throwing roundabouts somewhere won’t solve anything. I’ve seen that often enough. That will just create more traffic jams.
What about cross-stitching?
Are there books that would help me get more familiar with these sorts of things?
Windows also has a similar problem: The URL might not actually have the "true" path. It's so infuriating each time I try to get the path to my Downloads folder on Windows, and end up getting "This PC\Downloads". Please. I'm a grown up. Give me the real damn path...

Seriously, Linux has a lot of UX issues, but hiding the full path of files is a problem that plagues literally every single OS file manager. It seems that at some point, all the major OS makers agreed that users are too stupid to understand a file hierarchy, and came up with tricks to hide it.

>In practical terms, anybody who eats 100g of sugar, and 100g of pasta, will notice a huge difference.

I agree with you, but pasta is only 37% carbs. So 270g pasta (that's enough for 2 people!) and 100g sugar would need to be compared.

However I still think this will be unfavorable to the sugar, since you won't be satiated for long, and the insulin crash will make you eat again soon.

We can't ignore psychology on this, too. In the long run your hormones will beat your rational thinking, so you can of course theoretically lose weight on a high sugar diet, but you won't.
I am so excited about rust slowly sneaking into the C territory. I am looking forward for the point in time when it is going to get to Linux kernel.
Oftentimes they require vendors to only allow certified software to be installed for safety or compliance reasons.
I know about Reneissance man, but this isn't what I had in my mind when writing it. With Reneissance men, you expect them to be extraordinary creatures who don't only have breadth, but also depth.

What I meant by generalists, it was a lot of breadth without depth. Like knowing one city from every country, but not knowing more in any. Like knowing one painting from all major artists, but not knowing second and third from anyone. Being able to paint a dog, but not a cat, a man, a castle.

Being such a generalist would not be practical. In fact, it would be useless. Even Leonardo da Vinci was a painter, student of anatomy and engineer. He wasn't archeologist, expert on India, or circus acrobat who can juggle with torches. Da Vinci was specialized too.

What I see in generalists today, are very often general managerial/entrepreneurial skills mixed with some level of expertise in one or two fields. And calling this generalist seems as bad naming practice.

There must be another, better name for this.
Indeed. Before the first test flight, I was skeptical whether they can control the aerodynamic flight with those flaps. While they demonstrated their capabilities to control a rocket with the engines with the F9.

But the one thing that seems to be rock stable is the aerodynamic control in the belly-down flight phase. The only issues were with the soft landing phase and that was related to fuel and engine problems. So I am absolutely not worried that SpaceX is going to figure that out soon.

For me, there is only one big thing left to show: whether a starship with heat tiling can withstand the reentry.
Seems unlikely, given that in MacOS you could e.g.:

- Drag and drop the file into a terminal to insert the path

- Copy and paste the file into the terminal, which inserts the path

- Press Command+I to show a popover describing the path to the file

- Enable the "show path bar" option in the Finder's "view" menu, which will show a nice graphical representation of the path to the current location at the bottom of the window (which lets you copy the POSIX path to each item)

- For more advanced users, run the command `defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES` to show the full path to the current folder in each Finder window title
The husks of grains contain more fibre. Refined carbs are metabolised faster by your body into glucose, which goes rapidly to fat.

Have you tried fresh food eg salads? They are delicious and filling in a way that keeps you sated longer than carbs without the highs and lows of energy and mood.

It takes a bit of organisation to make a big salad every day, but once you get the hang of it, you feel better, big time.
Every single article I've read by Wolfram makes detours to focus on his own accomplishments (e.g. awards or appointments), tied to the main story by extremely tenuous, almost non-existent connections. And there are always multiple references to cellular automata.

I will gladly admit I like his storytelling and the anecdotes are interesting but I have to ignore the detours to make it to the end.
I own a 5-years old Moto G4 Play running a de-googled Android 7.1. It works just fine, and I can install apps from either the F-droid or the Aurora stores.

To me it makes more sense to continue with this phone, as I can find all the replacement parts I need on AliExpress, rather than investing in a new Librem 5 or a PinePhone. While I appreciate being able to use an open mobile OS, there's the problem of apps, and there's still the hardware problem - it's both more expensive (in the case of the Librem 5 at least) and has the same problem of eventual obsolescence.

Hi HN!

We're launching a new Mac app today, Narrated. It lets you create screen recordings that include your webcam.

We built this app in Cocoa and SwiftUI. Cocoa lets us use all the APIs we need, whereas building (most of) the UI in SwiftUI helped us to get this out, iterate quickly and have polished animations.

Very happy to take any questions/feedback.
