Oh my... aren't those really complicated? Haha
Probably, though I live in an area where 50% of our electricity comes from the wind, so if the wind is blowing electric heat is far less CO2, while if the wind isn't blowing electric heat is far more.
Ask HN: How to type double spaces after period on HN comments?
The Nakamoto inside me wants to insert 2 spaces after periods, but every time I do that, HN converts it back to one space.

Is there a way we can do that?

I have a couple of seats I pulled from a VW GTI that seemed very comfortable when they were in the car, but when I've sat in them outside of the car I feel like I need to be going faster. I imagine an ejector seat might have a similar effect in the absence of the G-forces it was designed to handle.

> I was very excited at one point about the idea of getting a commercial dishwasher that can run a load of dishes in like 90 seconds.

The reason commercial dishwashers run so fast is that they sanitize dishes, but do not remove food from them. That is done by a restaurant employee. Home dishwashers include soaking and scrubbing to remove food, which takes longer.

Sure, but you can waste less time by going as far as interrupting their questions, arguments and pitches with a firm "please cancel my subscription."

That gets 'em through their script faster.
Ugh. Concourse is interesting for sure, but really hard to get a hang for. I would be careful who I recommend it to.

I don't like to speak in negatives so I won't elaborate, but basically I've had a very hard time using it and it made work miserable. Besides the shiny UI, there was literally nothing to make a devops team's work easier. Simply accessing a failed job log output was hard.

I prefer gitlab-ci because I already use gitlab and the integration is nice. For a pure CI system I would use drone.io if I was not already using gitlab.
I think the ETFs would be more useful if they held the top 25 cryptos at market cap weights. That could be kinda a hassle to do individually.

I seriously considered acceptiong bitcoin payments (it was a fad, why not) but did not want to connect something like Mt. Gox to my bank account. That was the stumbling block for me.

It did not occur to me at the time that I should hoard these payments until they were worth millions in 2021; back then we were still thinking of cryptocurrency in terms of something you'd get paid in and convert to a bank balance.

Tons of ways that are all quick and easy to set up... if you build on one platform, or use VMs of one OS only, or use Docker containers.

As soon as you need e.g. macOS + Windows + Linux + iOS + Android (really, any three of those) it's hell. You're either going to be conforming your build to the requirements of some "cloud" solution (if you can) while paying painful money for it and maybe (likely) not even getting very good performance in exchange, or maintaining several build machines (locally or as rented servers/VMs or whatever). Or screwing around with Parallels or something, and "enjoying" bad build times for most platforms.

It's a very easy problem to solve for container-heavy web stuff. It becomes no fun in a hurry once you're very far outside that.
My favorite is how when you right-click some highlighted text in Edge, before the "Search the web for this" button, is an additional "Search Bing for this" button.

I'm sure the product designer's thought was, "Maybe they just forgot how excellent Bing is, and they will decide to click this Bing button, rather than using the non-Bing search engine they explicitly configured before!" And not "Let's trap some accidental clicks."
Presumably the Western alliance can support Australia to maintain the alliance.

its not about interesting but about adoption. Crypto is interesting to anyone who spend time getting into it. Not for the same reasons and that is why the adoption looks different, but its there and that is really what matters.

See, there's my problem. I had a handful of Dells in the mid-2000s that all came out of the cheap end of the catalog, and I skimped on some of the specs to fit them in the budget. I did definitely get my $20 worth out of the optional floppy drive, though.
I certainly don't mean to imply that misogyny (which those kind of attitudes are a specific expression of) begins in the workplace. It's just where I currently am in life and where it has been most apparent to me in the past several years. I agree that it starts much earlier and there is significant work to be done at that level as well.

> With government monopolies you use their services at gunpoint

I mean sure, in an authoritarian state that’s what happens. I’m just not convinced crypto is the solution? In order to evade being at gunpoint you’d essentially need all your crypto transactions to be undiscoverable to an all powerful entity, which is probably mostly possible and that’s great. The downside is you now open yourself to people being able to take all your money from you with close to no discoverability. In order to keep that privacy you’d have to avoid all centralized exchanges and manage most of this yourself and i’m just not convinced 99% of people need or want that?

I’m not saying the tech isn’t impressive or the idea in its purest form compelling and interesting, but there’s a lot of fantasy I think.
This common retort is so tired, can we just stop with it once and for all. The price history of Bitcoin is irrelevant to the arguments given here against it.
Ah but I usually leave the browser running for a few weeks or a month on average
Fair enough.

In the general case, if you're genuinely interested, hop onto Board Game Geek - they're the definitive community site for all things board game related. They offer an advanced search feature where you plugin your preferred number of players, complexity (based on user evaluations), and other features, and can then sort by whatever. The 'board game rating' is an algorithm, much like HN's, that's mildly secret, but is generally regarded as being pretty good.

In the specific case of my experience -- I'd suggest Splendor as a good example of a game that's faster to teach someone than Monopoly, but less frustrating, more fun, usually ends in closer-run games, and can never devolve to a multi-hour battle of who can tolerate the most tedium.

There's a bunch of games with similar mechanics that I'd happily recommend eg. Century Spice Road, which is a less abstract than Splendor.

If you or the kids like the pretty, then either Sagrada or Azul are about as complex as Monopoly, but a) look gorgeous, and b) don't result in people not talking to each other the rest of the weekend.

For two players, things like Jaipur, or (a bit heftier, but not onerously so) Seven Wonders Duel. For really easy to learn, fast to play, with sophisticated longer term strategy options, Hive.

For families I recommend Monopoly Deal since the games are quicker and the theme is similar.

On the other hand AWS basically saved the world from economically collapsing by WFH made possible through the innovation of turn key massive distributed compute capabilities to anyone with a credit card. AWS offered GPU's in 2015, it took both Google and Microsoft 4 years to make a comparable offer.

I don’t particularly expect WinUI 3 to take off, sadly. I agree that it’s disappointing.

The team still has a lot of work to do; unpackaged applications still aren’t supported, for one. And even once it’s production-ready (next year?), I’m not sure it will be good enough to use instead of web UI.

I do quite like how easy it is to build UIs that work for both keyboard+mouse and touchscreens. But overall it’s basically WPF with a few improvements, and the worst parts of WPF (styling, verbosity) are still there.
And every one of the puzzles on there is by definition a solved problem. If the company went under and all of their code and website was lost, I would cheer.

The only sort function I could write is probably bubble sort. Why? Because more efficient ones out there already exist and I could google them and paste 1000x faster than I could write them.

Lazy programmers are efficient. Puzzle solving masturbators waste a ton of time.
The “razors and blades model” you’re referring to isn’t really the same thing as obsolescence. People know these items have consumables when they purchase them, and the original item doesn’t “break”, it just inherently requires another product.

Yeah, but ultimately you want to spend that bitcoin on something, otherwise you're just trading rare baseball cards with your friend. At that point (and at the point where someone bought bitcoin to send you) you need contact with the real money system.

So blockchain solves some unspecified subset of fraud. But only people who know enough about finance and technology are able to understand how this fraud is prevented?

There really is a huge gap left behind by the decline of VB. I've been designing a few games with Godot recently and I've really come to enjoy how intuitive it is for building interfaces and getting prototypes up and running. However the proprietary scripting language (GDScript) itself is rather limited. Having a solid WYSIWYG form builder backed by e.g. Python that generates binaries for a number of target platforms would be incredible.

I may be in the minority but I really enjoy proper desktop software over SaaS web equivalents.
Board-Level repair isn't that difficult with the right tools. Plenty of 3rd party repair, as well as Apple's refurbishment do it just fine. The only real reason it's impossible to repair is an artificial lack of parts/documentation.
It's not that the tech itself is a scam per se (although there are plenty of cryptocurrencies that were started with the express purpose of being a ponzi scheme or a pre-mined vehicle for a pump and dump).

It's just that widely available, totally unregulated financial instruments will always be primarily used to run ponzi schemes, pump and dumps and meaningless speculation (meaningless in that speculators are largely just speculating based on what other speculators might do).
It's certainly am impressive result.

But I laughed a little when the article said, "it still need (sic) at least 30 years for the technology to come out of the lab." Isn't that the whole history of the nuclear fusion industry? Every bit of news I've seen about fusion my whole life says that fusion is 20-30 years out. In 20-30 years it will still be 20-30 years out.
Sure, but you'd get the same distribution of answers for 90% of the mathematics anyone learns past about 7th grade. Or almost any other topic in school. The good things we use to introduce kids to good things get shit on a lot, but that's because most people go on not to ever engage with them or anything like them ever again, not because they're bad.

We do that so the kids who catch on and pay attention can understand what good things are, and maybe some of them go on to really dig deep on one or two fields so they can learn more about those good things, and hopefully they paid enough attention during their education that they at least don't think everything else is bad just because they never bothered to follow up on it or engage deeply or because they struggled with it (unlike [thing they think is good]) in school.

I don't watch sports nearly as much as many other people in my life, though I am interested enough to watch with them when I'm spending time with them.

Serious question for sports fans: do you find the athlete interviews before and after the game all that compelling? Many athletes don't seem interested in doing them and often times they offer a nothingburger response that allows them to get through the interview without having to say too much or expend much emotional energy.

I support Naomi and her decision to call B.S. on this.

I heard something interesting about ejection seats on tv.

The canopy cost up to a million dollars.

There are personnel who main job is making sure the ejection seat is working properly.

If a pilot needs to use the ejection seat, he, or she, has a 9 out if 10 chance of survival.

The spine will compress 1/2" after that emergency handle is pulled, and they said the shortening of the spine is permanent.

If I had the room, and was offered a small commercial Hobart mixer at a rock bottom price, I would buy it.

I worked at Marin Bagel factory in college, and that mixer was the only thing I liked about the job. The owner didn't like me, so when he was in a bad mood, my job was rotating the freezer. Imagine 5:30 am. Cold outside. A bakery where talking was discouraged. Climbing into a packed 10 x 20 foot packed to the door with frozen food. 1 foot of clearance on top of the food. Then rotating everything. Worst job ever. It wasn't the job, it was the owner.

Sorry about my ramble.
I called to cancel. I was offered $14/month promotion, and then after I agreed to the deal and gave them credit card they said I will be charged $14 every 4 weeks. I said agreed to $14/month, that's not the same as $14 every 4 weeks, because $14/month is $168 per year, but $14 every 4 weeks is $182.49 per year. They said they will charge $14 every 4 weeks, and I decided to cancel because of their scammy offer.
I would particularly be interested in self-hosted solutions that still support image recognition, which is very useful for large libraries. Does such a thing even exist?
A newspaper isn't a monolith and, by design, the members of the editorial board have very little connection to the business side of the newspaper.

You're absolutely right to call out bad behavior of the subscription department, but the "liar, liar" heading is unfair.

Hm, IIRC if you still have an (ideally forward-facing) headphone jack, I believe there were cheap plug-ins (essentially IR LED on a 3.5 mm connector) that would provide the functionality given a proper software.
Learn the skills for the job you want, claim you do that stuff on your current resume (within reason), and jump ship. Most prospective employers won't push too hard with needing references from your current place of employment.

Cannot agree more especially if you previously had a blame-free culture and it doesn't look like it's returning in a hurry.

I have seen this happen when new management comes in and don't value root cause analysis and look for a person or team to blame to protect themselves.
Best way to ensure easy subscription cancelling is via an in-app purchase. Then cancelling is a few clicks without talking to anyone.

Is this such an incredulous thing to believe in a country where the official fiat currency is worthless?
You probably can't ban it in the sense of complete & total non-use. But collectively the world has mostly decided and actually followed through on not using certain things like chemical weapons in warfare. While this has not eliminated their use, it would probably be much worse without this prohibition. For example they went largely unused in warfare in the European theatre of war in WWII.

Of course most recently Syria is a horrible exception to this track record, and it remains to be seen if this will embolden others to do the same. Nonetheless, the prohibition does show that such agreements can at least reduce the usage of certain methods of waging war.

But I don't think hardware or software constraints be effective: Once one side of a conflict decides to break the a prohibition about using autonomous drones, I don't think they will care about hardware protocols. There's also the fact that warfare generally does not have static boundaries and no one willing to use this type of weapon would concede to their uselessness once the fighting moved elsewhere. Especially because their enemies would simply & quickly change their tactics to work outside that zone.
Wirecutter recommends Coway
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, a Republican on the agency’s five-member board, said Gensler’s recent warnings “conveyed the overly conservative approach that has typified the SEC in the crypto arena.” She said the agency should move forward with approval of crypto funds on their merits.

What are the "merits" of crypto [funds]?

Separating ever greater fools from their money to enrich early adopters without actually engaging in any real economic activity?

Money laundering?

Tax evasion?

Digital counterfeiting? (i.e. saying 1 USDT = 1 USD)

Ransomware?

Wasting energy?

Here is a fact: Congress' reputation is in the toilet. If it wants to get a modicum of respect back then maybe it should take a firm stand against "crypto." Nothing is economically new or innovative or useful in crypto for legitimate, real world applications. Never in history has a successful government abdicated control of its currency. Control over legal tender is one of the core functions of government.

If bitcoin is a currency then what it aims to do is not different from what Liberty Reserve or eGold aimed to do. At least eGold had some underlying real asset. Bitcoin is just made of air. Sorry "math."

If bitcoin is an asset then its value is akin to underwater swamp land in florida. I.e. it is a fraud.

No, people should not be able to just make a token on a whim and extract economic power in exchange for producing no real economic good.

If Congress wants to take a stand it should firmly ban US banks from interacting with entities that relate to the fraudulent scheme that is Bitcoin, et al.

Hester Pierce (wonder if there is a relation to Brock Pierce) is either really dull or really corrupt. Bitcoin has zero, actually negative economic value. It is ludicrous that an SEC chair would pretend it does simply because number big.

Anybody remember the AAA securitisation of garbage mortgages a decade ago? Just because a financial product is in current market demand or has a high price does not mean that it is legitimate or that it has positive economic value.

The job of congress and regulators is precisely to nip frauds like Bitcoin in the bud before they become bigger and wreck greater damage on the economy when they inevitably collapse or cause serious economic distortions (i.e. making billionaires out of early adopters who did not actually produce anything of value. The transfer of purchasing power from productive individuals to rent seeking individuals (i.e. those lobbying Congress to legitimise their Monopoly money) is a surefire way to harm an economy.

So Ms. Pierce what exactly are the "merits" of Bitcoin? Please tell...

This should not be a partisan issue. Just like printing fake dollars is not a partisan issue.

Maybe Congress can do something right for a change...doubt it though...sadly.
