Ask HN: Best tool for software architecture diagrams?
Hi, I need to be able to quickly create software architecture diagrams for our customers. I have previously been using presentation software (e.g. Google Slides) and graphics editors (e.g. Affinity Designer). And while they allow me to create quite beautiful diagrams, they are not very fast if you have to e.g. add additional elements which don't fit the existing layout.

For smaller architectures https://diagrams.mingrammer.com works really well, but it often breaks for more complex layouts.

What are your recommendations?
Up to this day I am wondering for most social media sites how much of their daily active users is actually bots. I'd like to find a way to verify that.
Every once in a while I read something the so obviously resonates with me as how things should be with me, but not how things are, that it's depressing and humbling. That's good though, because that's how change happens. Excuse me, I need to go make some calls and set some alarms now.
Continuing to let someone degrade you because “they’re doing the best they can do” is equally cruel. All relationships take work, if one party isn’t willing to work on it then thats not a relationship worth putting energy into.
Social media no doubt is inflicting brain damage in much the same way being surrounded by the wrong people does.

But putting that aside, when reasons have acummuluted over time for a relationships to weaken the main question is whether there are reasons to connect. And whether it gets verbalized, acknowledged and built upon.

If there are common interests, activities that generate energy on both sides (as simple as cooking a meal together, gardening together etc) then it gets easier to maintain connect cause there is something positive for the mind to focus on inspite of all the negatives. Then there is hope.
Certainly not all forms of regulation result in regulatory capture. Simply following this German model where Google/Youtube isn't allowed to censor certain ideas doesn't lend itself to regulatory capture.
I also enjoy lifting weights and I recently started doing high-frequency, low/moderate intensity training throughout my workday. I'll just choose an exercise for that day and do it many times per day. It's always around 50-70% effort so pretty easy (eg. if I can do 10 pullups I'll only ever do a set of 5 max). That way I have perfect technique for each rep and set and I never get close to failure. I always feel refreshed and never beaten down and I don't have to set aside specific time to lift (I'm currently trying to just maintain while I do technique work). Yesterday I did it with front squats for 10x3 of very high quality reps. I plan to increase the reps/weight slightly once it gets super easy and repeat.
Direct p2p over Wireguard or similar is a solution here.

Hmm, when did they do this?

I actually think Germany has it backwards here. If the German government wants to provide a free-speech "safe zone", they should provide it themselves.

You're encouraging government coercion of action.
i would like to think it's about striving for a better world and a want to improve things for users.

but really it's probably that attention to details people are more likely to be drawn to the field.
Oh really? Then why is the number of people who believe the earth is flat on the rise? Why do people still believe in ancient mythologies that contradict scientific knowledge that has been available for centuries?

Maybe on the scale of millenia ideas based in truth are more likely to dominate, but I don't see how you could make that claim about history when our current paradigm of empirical knowledge is only a few centuries old, and already it seems as though cracks are starting to form.
It's a common idea in Europe, many dissidents like Navalny were disappointed. American left lives in their own bubble and cherry picks things from Europe they like and ignore the rest.
Who Hires Harvard, Stanford and Wharton MBAs These Days
It is CEO hatred culture which is being actively developed by socialists in hope to promote socialism: a very predictable desire to control the population by eliminating opportunity and thus free-thinkers and overachievers: forced equality where everyone should wear the same uniform, the same haircut, and make the same 15$ per month no matter your skills, abilities, or the situation at hand, with all Olympians in national Olympiads getting the same iron medals regardless of the results.

Fortunately unachievable in US in the near future.
My senior year of high-school I made a similar display. I purchased a lenticular screen, coated it, and modified a projector to make a much smaller image than intended. Alignment was tough, but I ended up with about 4" of useful horizontal space with a fairly narrow viewing angle.

There really isn't any magic, it's just a lot of pixels to push. I was able to do a Utah Teapot to 2 views at 400x600 on a 100MHz 486 (it was an 800x600 projector).
The deeper the canyon gets, the larger its watershed and the more likely flash floods, etc. The answer is both, and it has changed over time. Trickle and torrents.

>> Sure and that happens. Journalists will cherry pick data to tell the story they want. But there is a difference. If the data is out there someone can dispute the journalists characterization.

Does it actually happen though? The media controls most of the narrative, including what goes into legislative discussions. The "paper of record" becomes history while everything else goes into a vast firehose of tweets which get washed away by the dominant narrative.

Real recent example. NYTimes June 21, 2021:

"How Big Tech Allows the Racial Wealth Gap to Persist"

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/21/us/politics/big-tech-raci...

So according to the NYTimes, "big tech" allows a racial wealth gap. Consider that this is the only industry where Asians, Indians, and others are actually allowed to consistently and widely climb ranks into senior management.

The ultimate irony is -- this is coming from the NYTimes -- a small group of mostly white, rich, people in Brooklyn and the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- with almost zero diversity at the executive ranks -- is saying this.

Further, there is no discussion about the FAANG exams, hiring committees, etc -- or the fact that the authors hire on no objective measures themselves -- they are mostly hired based on which elite private school they attended.

So what happens? We end up with congressional investigations on big tech monopolies (worth looking into) but ignore obvious monopolies like my mobile phone provider, my healthcare providers, etc -- places that charge a pound of flesh and have no competitors.
Delia Smith has done many series of cooking programmes; "How To Cook" addresses your question directly. It starts with the very most fundamental basics: how to boil an egg.

I'd be surprised if these programmes can't be found on e.g. Youtube.

I strongly suspect there is a book or two in print with the same title.

Delia's recipes work. She's not a purist; she does shortcuts (but always from-scratch - no tinned Cambell's Soup).

If "How To Cook" is too basic for you, her website is full of well-explained recipes for all kinds of standards.

[Aside: One of the things that pisses me off about online recipes is the fifteen paragraphs of gush that seems to be required if you want to be a paid food "influencer"; Delia doesn't do that.]

Try to be more condescending, kid. It'll make your point so much more effective if you think I don't know what DNS filtering is.

Trying to spackle over social, economic, and political problems with technical hacks doesn't solve the underlying issue.
The difference is they could require proof of identity and American citizenship to be able to access the site, and the site itself could have rules that are enforceable to limit human generated spam without violating the first amendment. They would not be helpless to moderate the site just because of the first amendment, they would just need to pass moderation clauses for the site before going live with it.

In a similar vein with the fact that it's illegal to yell out "FIRE!" in a crowded theater unless there is actually a fire, they could make it illegal to advertise private businesses and make posters directly legally responsible for what they post.

If this does come about though, I hope they prohibit businesses and "Media Groups" or whatever from creating accounts or at least lock them into a walled garden that you have to voluntarily enter, segregating them from the general populace.
If you think extreme polarization and degradation of critical thinking is exclusively a problem of the other side, it probably applies to you as well.
Exact laws: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/chapter-5/subchap...

The rest of your question I consider invalid. Companies do not have civil rights [1]. Hell, it's in the definition of the word:

"relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters"

But clearly the existing common carrier regulations don't infringe on the "civil rights" of the companies they apply to, so even accepting your false premise, this is very straightforward.

I found the movies very mediocre. They try to tell a 500 page story in 2 hours. Plus they waste screen time on stupid action scenes instead of including important plot elements.

The books are really good though. The world building would be a true masterpiece if Rowling didn't make the mistake of including time travel.

This anecdote is a good example of gaslighting because it appears that the parents are aware of the facts, but intentionally deny them, making her question reality.

The problem arises if the parent honestly believe in a different set of facts, in which case it is not intentional and hence not gaslighting.
> Economic growth doesn't consume an exponential amount of resources

Right now it does. GDP growth and resource use have been demonstrated to be pretty tightly coupled, so if economic growth is exponential so is resource use, afaik. It's worth noting that energy is also a resource; it is really hard to de-couple productivity from energy usage.

On a very orthogonal note, I downloaded the official VMs once in the past hoping that it would be like a premade Windows 'rootfs' that I could base my own installation on, like how Canonical provides the (very tiny) Ubuntu Base rootfs. Unfortunately, I learned that bootstrapping Windows absolutely requires the setup (downlevel) process because of a phase that writes which devices are present into the registry so that the correct drivers can be loaded. The setup process that runs after the base system is written to disk bloats up the footprint of the OS quite a bit.

Anyway, I'm silly for trying to treat Windows like Linux. It's quite fun hacking around with the OS though and seeing what's possible - UWF is one thing worth looking into.
Why wouldn't it be? There's no forced GC, you can have custom application in arenas, etc. Pretty much all tricks used for low latency are available.

I can think of some counter examples. Golf is a big one. I have friends that play every weekend and never get better.
Always love when this pops up. I always think of it when I use a credit card and the POS device says "do not remove card" and then "remove card". I think it would be much clearer to simply say "insert card" or "leave card inserted" and "remove card" and not rely on the small, hard to read and understand modifier of "not".
The way nations relate to one another is fundamentally different from the way parties relate to one another within a nation. The UN is a debating society that serves to provide a venue for potentially belligerent actors subject to different laws who ultimately can only truly enforce their will with bombs and bullets if debate fails.

Parties within a nation are all subject to the same laws with established responsibilities and rights with established procedures for settling differences.

The fact that some platforms choose to exclude a minority of players from using said platforms to spread ideas that the majority finds evil and harmful is a feature not a bug. There are established laws that protect actual rights and privileges. Just none that would privilege you to stand on others property and shout hateful offensive things.

Get your own bullhorn and stop trying to make laws demanding your neighbor lend you his.
Yeah, I imagine it:

- It would be bombed and looted by foreign army ("In the name of democracy!")

- Hundreds of thousands of people will die from bombs, same amount from hunger and civil unrest caused by destruction of the infrastructure and government system (police, hospitals, etc.)

- Foreign companies will take control of Iran's oil (the main reason why Iran is considered "hostile country" now is that it controls its natural resources), so that profits from selling the oil flow to other countries (exactly the same happened recently in Libya and Syria)

It would become unsafe to visit, and most cities would be in ruins. Crime rates would go through the roof.
Comments can and do get removed for violating the rules here. As they should.
What Happens When the Colorado River Runs Dry?
the 'open society' model is about encouraging radical individualism by any and all means.
1) encourage consumption not production, people can consume alone, production however often requires cooperation
2) encourage immidiate pleasure, especially sexual pleasure ,over sexual gratification resulting from hard work, this means encouraging promiscuity , prositution and masterbutation over sexually satifying long term reltionships will require delayed gratification and cooperation, rather than individualism.

3) encourage the breakdown of the family by any and all means, inclusive of encoruaging institutional dependence and loyalty over dependence and loyalty to family.

4) encourage economic structuring of society which makes indiivudals more dependent on large instiotutions or to seek out self destruction, then they are to seek out help from immidiate friends and family.

5) encourage a society of specialists and respect for specialization versus generalization at every level. mandate social requirements for dependencies on specialists.

preists used to handle many family and community functions that are now handled by a myriad of specialists included mental health assesment.
sometimes , the state cooperates with private institutions and sometimes it opposes them, depending on whether those institutions are cooperating to radical individualism , or doing the opposite.

6) create fake religions that sway people towards anti-community mind set. for example science is a process and methodlogy, turn it into a religion to be worshipped with a godhead of technological control and chaotic fear , so that you can attract and encourage people to distance themselves away from personal family and friends. if that doesn't work, as a last resort ask them to worship the state, or some other non-community based ethos like 'globalism',

to reform society you must separate and reconsitute individuals into their constitute atomsistic selfish selves, so they don't resist your aims, or possibly even help you achieve them.

the "open society"
you cannot stop it.
don't try. you are alone.
Yep. This is the problem - DoH (using Google or CloudFlare) is just privacy-washing even more intrusion. The aversion that companies have to merely being required to label their fuckery shows what a problem we have.
Show HN: Blogs to Promote Your Business
I've created a database with 200+ handpicked blogs to promote your business to help you grow an audience and close more deals Check out a free sample here: https://airtable.com/shrF5450fU4s1V7Wb

Why? Who wants this?
Guest blogging to the right audience is a great way to

promote your business and build an audience
generate more sales and leads
build website traffic and SEO

but it takes hours of research to find fitting blogs accepting guest posts with a relevant audience and high visibility. What's more, in my experience (ugh) pre-compiled lists are very often out of date or incomplete.

Hence the reason for growing a database to find the right blog and post topic within seconds, from a large set of industries.

Apart from the blogs, the database includes

8K device… demo video is in 1080p.

I realize that this 2D video is not showing exactly what you'd see with this special interface, but it does feature panning scenes where objects show 3D relief – presumably as a way to simulate the 3D effect that this device is capable of.

On a large high-resolution screen this looks blurry and low-res, not really a great demo for an 8K display.

I played with the great grandfather of this device — a black & white ~4” LCD, the size of a pizza box, attached to a 286 luggable. It was cool … but the killer feature is being able to rotate the data — our eyes are still 2D.

Turns out, I can rotate data on a regular old monitor.

The primary export of places like that has proven to be brigading, harassment, and bigotry in the form of memes, so...no, not really.

I have yet to hear a positive argument for their existence, and "well it collects the dirtbags!" is actually not one. I spent years tracking reactionary and fascist movements on the internet and how they interrelate and spread information; these sites more or less exist to do exactly that. The targeted harassment campagins that target random people they've decided not to like--that's just "for the lulz".
>What I feel about this is that of course India has the sovereign right to do as it pleases, but its messy, adhoc approach to digital governance won’t win it any laurels and will actually tarnish its reputation. Also, it would be on a much better footing if it passed a decent law on digital privacy, which many have been saying is long overdue — leading to a flourishing unregulated economy in selling Indians’ data[3].

You seem to be on a general critique of Indian policy, and also applying it to this specific case. If we untangle those two for a moment, what exactly is messy, adhoc about this financial data residency requirement? It seems logical to me that local financial data should remain local for legitimate legal reasons (supervision of fraud/criminality being the most obvious ones). Why would this tarnish their reputation?

No, because the whole issue is advertisers refuse to have their ads shown with certain types of videos. The ads go away. Johnson and Johnson doesn't want their ads shown next to Nazi propaganda, so demonetization pulls advertising entirely.

The original title means something completely different from the title used here. CNN is listing a few cities where this happens. OP you’re saying that cities have the worst urban heat (which is kind of obvious because of the urban word) but also you’re stating that all cities can spike 15 degrees. What was the reasoning behind changing the title?
