I'm in the same situation but I'm not earning 180k, I live just fine in my apartment and don't consider it a box (I am also a minimalist and don't have any hobbies that take up space). Small business around me that relied on working commuters were decimated but small business that relied on actual working folks living in nyc are just fine and the summer is actually booming.

I would say nyc is always what you make of it and what kind of lifestyle you want to lead. It's certainly not a place for people who want yards for example.
It's a fruitless endeavor arguing with people who think frontend is trivial. They've only worked on small, isolated projects by themselves and have used that experience to convince them it's the whole story and captures every project.
Yeah, if you need that kind of control over token access, then im not certain a jwt is the right tool for the job. For most use-cases a short-lived jwt is fine, as it expires in a matter of minutes, or even seconds, depending on configuration.
But everyone does pay for dumb code. Even in the best-written and most efficient codebases, there's still going to be some amount of tedious glue code and boilerplate that you have to write in order to create a functioning product. It definitely would be better to have better languages and frameworks instead of a giant transformer, but the better languages and frameworks don't exist yet while the giant transformer does.
So doing some testing and you will not be able to run android VMs without the Pro version. HAXM will not install no matter what you do and even the registry will fix itself in windows 11. Windows 11 will not let you even control certain settings and it makes it useless for development unless you get pro.

To be fair, Teams also doesn't unterstand "I don't want notifications for the next 48 hours". I think "not understanding that there is no 1:1 relation between a person at work at a specific computer" describes Microsoft and their products quite succinctly.
The reported profit is probably a joke, since they devize ways to under-report to pay less tax.
100x * .30 = 3x value in deductions. You can scale the 100x accordingly to your needs.
Dumb question: is Obsidian anything more than an open source version of Apple Notes?

I realize there's technical differences but from a use cases / feature perspective - isn't it essentially the same?

Everything you listed has maximum profits when there is a free and open internet, which is something Google depends on to reach its users.
This is like dealing with a monopoly that you can't unsubscribe to. And imagine those who don't have a large Youtube following and don't have the money for a lawyer. What are they to do?
I find the workflow for switching to a new container awkward.

I would really appreciate it if you could maybe share your workflow for using containers.
copilot as defined would not be "fresh eyes"... it would be "old tired eyes of every code writer who uploaded stuff to github, not knowing if they made one off errors or mistakes in their code"
Maybe not a strictly economic one, but probably a socioeconomic one: that keeping more money in local communities helps those communities to be better places to live.

Whether that is true or not, I don't know. It's definitely true that corporate concentration has been increasing and that many of these communities are in decline.
There was a substantial die-off of mussels because their black shells baked in the sun during low tide.

You realize there’s no issue with development internally for Apple products at Apple on macOS, right?

And generally if you work at Apple you actually like/prefer/love Apple products?
The link to the "free standalone app" just gives me OfficeSetup.exe (7.0MB), which did not give me a standalone app when I last tried it, but if that works now. Great!
It’s the equivalent of pretending that the old, widely-understood “OK” sign has something to do with white supremacy. The idea is to see if you can get people to believe it, and enjoy the panic that results.
I never claimed to be perfectly aligned with your opinion. I just agreed that the person you were responding to was off, in that the issue isn't whether or not people are "good enough."

Trump circumvented the traditional process for becoming president by aligning with the underclass...

The elites made fun of him relentlessly. Bannon ran Breitbart out of a random townhouse basement and was denied press credentials by those empowered in the national association.

The elite tried to block both of them, and they were circumvented by interclass alliance. That's the entire idea of elite overproduction, which is what we are talking about.

Elite overproduction is basically when more people have the resources to grab power than the power structure allows to hold power.

Not arguing that trump is a victim, just saying he has been considered gauche and passé for a long while. Gauche and passé ends up just meaning "not elite."

If you make a million dollars a year running a plumbing business, you are rich, but you aren't elite. If you make 400k at Skadden, you are closer to being elite.

For some reason when I read the lipostat section I was reminded of decreases in average body temperature trends over time -- probably because of the temperature analogies.

I've sometimes wondered if microbiome factors are in play, and by extension, things like antibiotic use (maybe there are some studies about antibiotic exposure and weight gain?). I've usually thought of it in terms of microbiome -> gut -> digestion though, and the lipostat section made me wonder if it's more like microbiome -> "immune response" -> caloric expenditure.
And? I think human civilization is a lot more impressive now than 200 years ago.
> "Something seems to have changed. But surprisingly, we don’t seem to have any idea what that thing was."

We have ideas. Polyunsaturated fats (shortening, margarine, soybean oil, canola oil, even chicken fat) is a promising culprit. Consumption of those have skyrocketed in the last half of the 20th century [1]. Full study here [2].

It seems that polyunsaturated fats induce hibernation like symptoms, which could explain weight gain. This blog is a fascinating look at some of the literature [3]. Good summary post [4].

Well, suborbital spaceflight is becoming accessible (for a once in a lifetime flight if you save up $250k) on Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin and soon (10 years?) orbital will have similar costs, perhaps, and then interplanetary flights in 20 years. We’ll see. But it not longer seems impossible.
Enough people read all the ingredients on every food package that if there was a common theme like this, it would be common knowledge. I don't know of a singular ingredient in common among the category of foods which would be targeted for this enhancement. Charitably, perhaps you are thinking of the "ingredient" of complex food engineering, which is any concerted effort by food engineers/scientists to modify "cafeteria food" to be more addictive and harder to stop eating.

This focuses more on ingredients, which is relatively common knowledge. But it does go into some history with interesting backstories from board rooms to flesh it out: "NYT: The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food" - https://archive.is/DJ0fC

This one I find super fascinating. It focuses less on ingredients and more on the physical forces/sensations of the foods: sound, crunchiness, meltiness, airiness, and how those drive compulsion to grab another handful: "Food cravings engineered by industry" https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/food-cravings-engineered-by-i...
This is really cool. What is your data source and how did you build this out because as far as I know, companies like Carvana, Vroom, and Carmax are quite silo’d and ostensibly don’t have an API that’s public facing?
Seconded. Pomodoro is wonderful for engineers: it rapidly teaches us to build up a "focus muscle". We start focusing at the beginning of a 25 min cycle, and consciously relax the focus at the end. If I walk around for 5 minutes and do low-impact things like dishes/laundry it helps.

My channel has a short talk recommending Pomodoro for engineers, including using it with Agile. The methods are extremely similar. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0PGaH-sVPGIdFUC88FgMmw
It supports both, as it should; Lists are still first-class citizens, it's just that vectors are too.

Though also in Clojure's case vectors aren't really vectors, they're immutable persistent data structures that share memory as much as possible, which I think would actually solve most of the performance problem here. But the same is not true of Rust's Vec<>
January in MT is no joke. Were the activities in that part of the year more on the theory end? Did you have to wait long between your reservation and getting a spot?
Well it is open source, is cross platform and is not made by Apple. So, really different.
Somewhat related, how are other gophers handling dynamic configuration in their go apps? Such as if the app is tied to consul or vault to get some config value. How do you handle the propagation of config changes cleanly, especially if it impacts something "big" like your DB pool? Do you have mutexes everywhere you read from the config pointer you pass around?

I noodled on this a while ago and figured it was easier to just restart the app on config changes than try to change things on the fly =D
What is the best criticism of regenerative ag? Everything I see about it is so positive that it seems crazy everyone hasn't switched. Are there really no downsides and it's just institutional inertia/caution holding everyone back?
Thanks for sharing. I followed your account. Looks like you're creating an idyllic life!
You are making my argument. You are saying there is no need for session state on frontend servers. That's my argument as well. And there's nothing wrong with JWT that prevents it from being used to identify the user or the associated backend data.
>When was the last time you went a day without using any emoji?

I don't remember ever using an emoji. Are emoji such an integral part of text communication that not using them is surprising?
Shouldn't the point of doing something as practically useless as compiling brainfuck be to do it in the most difficult way possible?

I'm more impressed by a brainfuck compiler written in brainfuck.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=697501

https://github.com/matslina/awib

Awib is a brainfuck compiler entirely written in brainfuck.

Awib implements several optimization strategies and its compiled output outperforms that of many other brainfuck compilers

Awib is itself a 4-language polyglot and can be run/compiled as brainfuck, Tcl, C and bash

Awib has 6 separate backends and is capable of compiling brainfuck source code to Linux executables (i386) and five programming languages: C, Tcl, Go, Ruby and Java

This is called being a sociopath and using mind games to control people around you. Just join a remote-first company if it’s that big a deal to you.
But isn't that the hypocrisy of it all? People will only be onboard with something until it directly impacts them and the real cost of the burden is disclosed.
Care to elaborate more on the IR sensor for a water softener? I had thought of doing something similar but with ultrasonic for level. I'm curious what you are doing with IR. I suppose resistance could be used based on dissolved salt but I like the non-contact options, when possible.
Yes, that is understood. My point was that if the intention was to prohibit "acts of creation" then the official list is woefully incomplete, and rather arbitrary; other acts which could equally well be considered "creation" under the same reasoning are not prohibited. (Mostly IMHO because if said reasoning were applied consistently it would be impossible to follow the law, regardless of what one did or did not do.) It leaves the impression that "creation" is merely an excuse or after-the-fact rationalization, not the actual reason for the prohibition.

What does that mean? Everything is made of chemicals.
They're the same in the sense that Mail.app and Outlook are the same.

Apple Notes is great, but can't do things like tagging/graph view and doesn't allow you to export in a standardized format.

Obsidian is a superset of Markdown (with a few modifications for page embedding and wiki-links) and allows you to sync with anything that provides a way for you to upload a folder of text files.
Prefix notation preserves the order of the argument, so it would technically translate to "Rust in Lisp." Huh, guess that was not the intended meaning...
Signage Mockup
Well yes but smuggling is a very old occupation for a reason. People won't follow a law they think is illegitimate when they feel they can get away with it. So it would work like the war on drugs. Cocaine is very common for a consumable "not an option" for importing.

Hell that same circumstance of personal use is how the underground USSR blue jeans market came about!
He did a netflix documentary on food that, frankly, left me with the impression that he's a pseudo-intellectual.

He went off on the harms of GMO and the wonders of whole foods. He used a lot of flowery language which ultimately was him saying "See, science is garbage, buy my new age theory of life!".

> Perhaps as CS becomes more used/diffused/familiar to practitioners of all other subjects

I think you're spot on here. You don't see people flocking to the English department because they had heard the ability to read and write is essential to landing a high paying job.

The same will be true for programming in the future; programming will be to the CS curriculum as reading and writing is to the English curriculum. No one is teaching English majors how to read and write English at my university. But we have 4 semesters devoted to reading and writing programs, because we can't assume any student knows these things like the English department can.
All sites in the US that I know of store spent fuel in cooling pools prior to it going to dry cask storage. That's how the system works - the radioactivity goes down/the rods cool in the pool, then when they're sufficiently low activity they get moved to dry cask.

>NRC has had to authorize plants to exceed the original design limits of their pools due to the amount of waste with nowhere to go. This is hardly a trivial problem.

State your source(s) for this. I do know that the NRC has to authorize all on site storage whether there's "room" or not, simply because there's that much oversight involved.

It is actually not currently OSS, although the creators have indicated interest in open-sourcing parts of it in the past.
What part of "disagree" do you not understand? There is no resolution here. I know you're wrong and you know I'm wrong. QED.
It is a crime under 5 USC 552a(i)(3) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/552a:

It’s a much more fully featured note taking app, probably most directly comparable to Roam Research.

E.g., tagging, graph views, back links between notes, note/document templates.

All docs are (more or less) plain markdown as well, so if for some reason the open source community ever abandoned Obsidian, in theory it’s easy to export/transfer your notes.
I spent a while trying Notion, seeing if it could be a good replacement for Evernote, and I had trouble with it as well. I can certainly see its use-case for teams, where the whole notion of homepages and things makes sense. But for the individual, it seemed too much. You're basically making a website.

My biggest gripe with it may have simply been the endless hyping and gushing that all the "productivity gurus" on YouTube and elsewhere did over it. Indeed, it seemed custom-made for YouTube productivity gurus, since you could make everything look so clean and beautiful and polished. It seemed the sort of note-taking tool for people who cared more about how the final result looked, than for people who wanted to quickly add or go over notes.

That said, I recognize that there was much there I probably never really used to its fullest-extent, databases being the fundamental differentiator between Notion and most other note-taking apps, and potentially very powerful.
I liked Obsidian but I moved all my notes to Zettlr and Org-mode because they were truly free and they could never be revoked. I have had my heart broken too many times by various pieces of software changing licenses or being bought out or whatever.
Ask HN: Any programmable SmartNICs with pricing suitable to hobbyists?
Ever since I’ve heard of SmartNICs I’ve imagined all sorts of odd projects to do with them, but obviously they are not generally targeted to consumers. I’ve noticed Nvidia has some at affordable prices ($200-$400 per unit), but they seem to be ASIC based with limited programmability.

Does anyone make more user programmable SmartNICs (FPGA or SoC based is fine) at that sort of pricing. Everything I’ve seen is thousands of dollars per unit.
All three of these things happen yearly. Climate change is real but understanding climate science on hackernews is not.
I'm probably underselling it but for me, markdown support and note organisation simply reflecting the directory structure is what sold me. I can then sync it whichever way I want; I've taken to having a "notes" folder in each project and including it in the Git repository. The notes are then browsable on GitHub too.

I've spent a lot of time trying to find my "perfect" note taking app, and have attempted to build my own a few times, and I'm very happy with Obsidian.

> Good luck getting Dang in the phone if you have an issue here

I cannot speak for others, but I will go on the record that Dan has replied to every email I’ve ever sent over a decade and has helped me to become a more thoughtful and open minded contributor on HN through both his private emails and public comments. YMMV. Thanks Dan.
Hey! Thanks for your kind words :)

I’m new here and it’s nice to see the HN crowd embrace this!

I used a service called Drivly:

https://driv.ly

They call themselves a “Plaid for Automotive” but I consider them more akin to an AWS because they’re building out this fundamental level infrastructure and data integrations that unlock the whole automotive world for entrepreneurship. Without a service like this, I don’t think that I could’ve built Carculator.

Cars are the second most expensive asset but unlike homes which are number one, are even harder to do anything with programmatically or entrepreneurially.
Overuse of fertilizers can cause chemical burn which damages the soil ecology. In combination with tilling it will gradually destroy the soil quality.

Pesticides destroy insect diversity, including predatory insects that keep pests in check. This is particularly problematic because pest populations tend to recover more quickly than predator populations, so if you stop spraying the problem comes back worse. Pesticides can also harm bird and amphibian populations, which play a role in pest control.

Not trying to refute what you are saying because I honestly don't know, but this seems to contradict the original article. Of course sustainable/organic farming is going to struggle to compete in the normal international commodities market, but in the article it mentioned that organic grain could be sold directly for 2-3x the base commodity price. Seems like that kind of progressive price scale might make it not such a "terrible business".
With questions like “Raising your voice may be one way to get someone to accept your point of view”, it sounds like a much shorter test would be "Are you a bad employee?"

With a test that bad, I wonder if the test is completely irrelevant. But perhaps the test makes management think that they've got decent employees and then treat them well.

A lot of fast food chains expect a lot of turnover, plan for it, and thus receive it. It may be that this company just plans for long term employees, and that's the real win. The test may well be making things worse by screening out employees based on hidden, coded biases.
There is often an array of benefits.

Following on your example, if you buy seed from the local seed & feed, you :

- build resilience, for example if a global pandemic prevents far-reaching import-export

- are less subject to geopolitics

- money invested have a higher chance to stay in the local economy : the owner of the local seed & feed may buy its vegetables from you

- create local jobs : this seed & feed owner may be able to create jobs for people

- overall avoid the lock-in that you can have being tied to XYZ megacorp, for example if they now decide to only sell you seed that will grow with their newly branded feed

- preserve local folklore : maybe there is a kind of seed that grows really well on your soil, but not so much in the others, so XYZ has decided to discontinue it because the market is too small to be profitable
