30% is not much for us, but for countries where agriculture is 60% of GDP amore capricious weather might devestate the economy. For those people climate change is a threat multiplier. Everything gets worse and more insecure in those regions.

Big climate in short times has historically been very bad for the ecosystem in the short term. Something like the Triassic-jurassic climate shift (due to, presumably, volcanic activity) led to one of the larger extinction events in the history of the planet, killing something like 75% of all species. I am notnsaying that is where we are heading, but even something remotely close to that will most certainly be devestating for society as we know it.

If there is something that will make humanity better it is overcoming this. Not hoping that whoever makes it through will be a part of a better species.
At $20/dose you can vaccinate all of humanity twice for $300B. An incredible bargain.

The US government has spent $5300B in pandemic relief packages. Vaccinating the planet could have been a cheap PR win barely noticed among that.

Except there just isn't production capacity for that on the planet.

Even in the US, I think you'd find there was significantly greater than 10% support for vaccine mandates for certain activities, jobs, etc.
That’s fair enough, but being Electron or not isn’t the only criteria to judge a UI. Personally after testing both (on Linux) I found 1Password’s UI to be better enough compared to Bitwarden to warrant the price difference.

I've lived the lifestyle for 10 years. By my estimation, there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. But it's not a strictly defined concept. Some people consider themselves nomads because they have virtually no home base anywhere in the world and home is where they stored their stuff this week. Others consider themselves nomads because they travel 2-3 months a year. And there's a whole range in between.
The common feature with these embedded ARM chipsets is that a faulty kernel can very much hardbrick your machine. There's nothing like the amount of failsafes you get with ordinary PC-compatible hardware. I wouldn't want to rely on any promise that "installing a custom kernel won't void your warranty" - in practice, it very much will if you don't know what you're doing.
It's almost like they are trying to overflow some buffer somewhere :)
What criticism?
One of the things I still remember picking up from RRE was to remember that you can index from either end. Imagine that you have a knob with 10 positions and need to adjust it by feel to the 8th. Don't start at 1 and count up 7, go all the way to the end and count back down 3 instead.

It was an unusual and always interesting read.

colorblind person. making sure things look ok in greyscale is excellent advice. for me perceptual difference in intensity are most of what my visual system pays attention to...color only if I try.

most of the the colored interface are hugely garish, and the massive intensity differences actually make it really hard to read.

and conversely if two indicator colors are the same brightness and you need me to distinguish between them, we're going to struggle.

Show HN: KissTodo – Focused and Effective Prioritization
Yeah yeah, another todo app . But not really.

KissTodo spawned from my dislike of the currently available task management tools. It combines focus and simplicity to offer an improved experience over the other solutions on the market.

Most developers try to create a todo app as their first app and as such does not come from a real need and provides no real value.

I was truly disenchanted with the current task management apps out there and I am truly satisfied with KissTodo (been using it for close to 6 months).

I don't know if KissTodo is for you or not, but I believe it can bring value to those that like flexibility, simplicity, minimalism and nimbleness.

That being said, I'm ready to get roasted

I welcome any comment, discussion, suggestion or insult haha

Cheers!!

(My apologies for reposting, I really wanted to do a proper "Show HN" and also post with a working link )
I saw this coming in '19 or earlier when they deprecated 32-bit software. I started moving away from Apple then. Now I still have my functioning 2017 Mac but I mostly use newer Windows/WSL computers, and my new work computer is an X1 running Linux. It is not hard to switch except for the lack of emacs keys for cursor control. (Unix user since '88.)
I think if you read the piece it's not really about "outsourcing" the writing. It almost feels like the machine's guesses, though not necessarily great writing and not necessarily factual, give the author the courage to flesh out her own writing.
True! And that is why I wrote “If that was your true intention…” Thank you for quoting it!

Looks like you completely changed your comment. Not cool. I’m going to leave mine as it is. This is no way to behave in a discussion. Have a good day.
Hmm. Seems likely in a way, but I don't see how to square this with the professional crowd like software devs
You have all the rights to do any kind of research. Just Facebook wishes you'd do it off their platform. They own it, they set the rules.
Deep-Object-Diff – NPM
Do you have a summary of the culture? I hear mixed things, but I wonder how much of that is just a requirement of the jobs that they do needing to be performed by certain personalities
You don't have the right to drive a car (and it's pretty well know e.g. you require a license) in this case. Here people say you have the right to choose what goes in your body and to be treated as a normal person (not a "normal person license" or a "body choice license")
Same here. I'm equally annoyed with the animations. Especially when an app requires attention, it keeps demanding it every few seconds by bouncing on the task bar. It's unnecessary distraction and I don't know of a way to stop it without clicking on the bouncy icon and addressing its need.

Far more frustrating, however, is the inconsistent window management. Mac is very unintuitive (coming from Windows). If I have multiple windows of an app open, I can't switch to the right window with Cmd + Tab. It opens the window in the same desktop. It's annoying as hell! A four finger swipe always takes me to the next desktop and there's no way to swipe between the apps on the same desktop (a three finger swipe in Windows).

And while this might be in equal parts Microsoft's fault, but MS apps like Teams just suck. When I'm on a different desktop than the one containing Teams, it takes me three clicks to open up the damn window. In some apps, Cmd + Right arrow will advance the cursor by a word and in most others, all the way to the end of the sentence.

I still fail to understand the allure.
Given there is such a thing as intellectual property, where someone literally owns an idea, I'd say owning an address isn't far-fetched at all.
if the IRS was a corporation they'd get sued by the FTC just like they went after the credit card companies. it's disgusting that we the people have to deal with such a confusing, convoluted tax code and agency.
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! Super helpful.

It is actually for full stacks, not individual services. The demo isn't doing a great job showing it indeed.

Re Docker - yes, we don't believe there's any practical reason running backend code without containers in 2021, unless it's serverless functions. It's easy to dockerize pretty much any app, takes minutes and makes your code portable, container registry becomes your artifact store, easy rollbacks, consistency etc.

Connection to DB is done via env variables, automatically mapped from Terraform outputs. Secrets are stored in AWS parameter store or equivalent.

Static assets go to block storage (like s3) and served via cdn (like Cloudfront)

DNS / domains: each service gets its own unique URL in every environment via managed DNS (on AWS it's route53). You can also connect your own domain.

Auth - we don't support that yet, on the roadmap for Q4.

Data transfer - no, that's left to the user. We don't anticipate people doing migrations too often though - we just make the infrastructure part simple.

Thanks again for asking these questions!
Hmm no, not at all. My first job in 2002-2004 was using PHP4. I barely used classes (and if I did they were just my code, not from the library because I didn't need anything from PEAR) and used the original MySQL client API. Almost nothing of what I used back then would be useful today. PHP4 vs PHP8 is almost more different than Python 2 to Python 3.
Stocks are also not immune. The extreme rise in recent years is arguably because of cheap money.
Well, each person is entitled to their reaction, no matter how uncharitable. But I'll say that my impression of the piece was nothing like an advertisement and I thought it was moving.
I cannot really imagine what would trigger anyone to downvote that comment. As off-topic perhaps?!

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to switch password manager, there’s no significant lock-in.
>But how long is it going to take me to learn what your ultra-customized, macro-laden particular flavor of Lisp? And one has to do that for every single new project requiring coordination...

This is also one of the two major problems that Forth has. The other is the lack of types and non-stack data structures.
So, do we know what they were doing with all that cash?
A few years ago I read his PhD thesis The Dynamic Structure of Everyday Life [1]. I found it worth reading. At that time I also read the paper he wrote with David Chapman, Pengi: An Implementation of a Theory of Activity, which was also interesting.

Modern capitalism (corporatism) is not ethical after a certain scale. There is no such thing as an ethical product sold at the margins necessary to stay in business at the top of the food chain.

Framed another way, I have yet to meet a C-level exec of an organization bigger than 50 employees who wasn’t an obvious sociopath.
Sigh, downvoted again. HN, the place where humor goes to die. I mean, sure, not the best pun ever but is it really necessary to downvote, I wonder?!
These persons still have the right to choose what goes in their body, be it alcohol or vaccine. The choice just has certain consequences on available transportation methods.
>Drag and drop HW drivers, or similar, in a cloud IDE? I'm skeptical.

Perhaps you are thinking too "now".

In the future why would you personally need hardware drivers?
Any hardware that you subscribe to (ownership will be a thing of the past) would have factory-installed drivers constantly updated from the few reified "real" programmers that work for a few dozen mega-corporations.

For that matter, I could imagine a future where there are only a few dozen hardware drivers approved and any new hardware that is approved to be sold to the public must conform to one of them.
> With some work, and a ton of HEPA air purifier machines, you could probably turn an area the size of a small shed or 1 car garage into a class 10000 cleanrom pretty easily.

I wonder if it would be possible to automate the entire process with robotics and reduce the effective "clean" space even further.

There was this post a while back about a company that used thin cassettes to keep the wafers clean when moving between process steps.

Very valid concern. But we think we cracked this.

Alicorn uses Terraform under the hood and allows you to customise it however you like. You can think of it as "CI for infrastructure" with meaningful defaults. 90% of the most common tasks are automated, but at the same time it's not a black box, you still have full access to native for the remaining 10%
I mean the author ultimately agrees right. It's not like she keeps the first iteration and calls it a day, satisfied that she's eulogized her sister. Without the central conceit of her fleshing out the piece more in response to each generated prompt, I don't think it would be worth reading.
My understanding is the primary role of Swift actors is to support safe global state in an async environment.

I plan to use actors enums for states in my next major app version release.

Or at least I was, until Apple decided to backdoor the iPhone in the absurd notion that it protects kids. Now I’m trying to figure out how to migrate off their platform entirely.
/64 seems pretty standard, unfortunately. It's what I get on OVH. There's also way worse providers, like Digital Ocean with a /124, and LightSail with /128.

> I'm finding more and more that I go to some random website, and get a message about an IP ban. That or a 401 error with no context.

The association between IP and user/endpoint is changing, especially with the advent of Apple’s Private Relay, other privacy-protecting proxies, and increased CGNAT.

Website & hosting providers will have to adapt, but right now we’re certainly in a transition state.
Symptomatic of crap science. Small N studies with weak methods being aggregated in meta-analysis. It's gotten to the point where I only believe large canonical studies that have been preregistered, and it's a shame that only a minority of all funding is dedicated to those kinds of studies.

Don't you think that there is a component of physical barrier in today's internet? while this may sound odd for the Americans, this is very typical in many parts of the world (East Europe, Asia and parts of Africa and Latin America)
40% of the Canadian population is unvaccinated, approximately 15 million people.
You choose whether to be vaccinated. You don't choose race and other protected classes. You have a constitutional right to free speech with some limitations explored by the Supreme Court over the years. The same Supreme Court (different individuals obviously) who established that Massachusetts could fine individuals who refused to take the smallpox vaccine.
The most tone deaf promise/policy is to be completely carbon neutral by year x. It really doesn't seem likely we'll be turning off the last fossil fuel power plant any time soon. and no amount of carbon tax is suddenly going to make the production of steel or fertilizer carbon neutral. even research can only reduce, not eliminate alot of key components in order to have a functioning society. I also think alot of developed countries are already doing their best to produce better sustainable alternatives for key area's like double glass windows or capturing more green energy. Its the developing world that still increases their fossil fuels and has little money for longterm development.

Even more problematic, I think, by proxy of high energy prices, companies and products that hurt the enviroment the most have fled to countries with the least restrictions. trying to reel that in to more developed countries is on the same complexity level as eliminating tax evasion schemes. And I dont see many on HN believing that's simple to do.
Out of curiosity, how much does it cost for you to run this? Not that I'm willing to pay $10k for my own /24, but I find this super interesting.

I just installed a new FTTH ISP at home and learned the hard way what CG-NAT is, after years of having my own public IP with my previous ISP.
Politico ran a poll that found that 56% of Americans would support a blanket vaccine mandate with essentially no exceptions (https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017b-3299-d185-a97b-3f9fc..., question POL11_5) so yeah it's way higher than 10%.

> , I agree that colourblindness doesn’t really affect my life, in that for the most part it doesn’t cause me any significant difficulties. But I have a feeling that this is only because I’ve gotten used to it, and that it does affect me — just in ways that I don’t notice.

Thats pretty much how I feel about it. It doesnt seem to affect me at all, but maybe its because i dont think about it and i am used to it.
Well... These are amounts for individuals. AWS Activate offers $100k to startups and that's just the advertised amount, $200-300k offers are not uncommon. Google and Microsoft do the exact same thing. They compete to lock you in.

The math really starts working when your cloud bill is $5-10k a month or more. Then you can either foot the bill or hire an extra engineer. There are thousands of startups who'd much prefer to hire another engineer instead.
From the article, the presence of more people in the malls does not mean that stores are getting more customers.

> those simply seeking refuge from the heat consume little, some shopping centers are careful not to advertise cool temperatures on their premises.

This is not a matter of cranking up the AC to get more people in, it’s more a matter of cranking down the AC to keep from cooling non customers.

They did what everyone does. But they're German so they get rekt from both Americans and Germans
I guess there's no accounting for taste. I found the piece a haunting and poetic meditation on grief and recovery.

I will tell you how it felt for me. I felt I had lost half of myself. I felt I had lost my right arm. I felt I had lost my left leg. I felt I had lost my tongue. I felt I had lost my heart. I felt I had lost my mind. I felt I had lost my eyes. I felt I had lost my ears. I felt I had lost my breath. I felt I had lost my voice. I felt I had lost my smile. I felt I had lost my laugh. I felt I had lost my tears. I felt I had lost my future. I felt I had lost my past. I felt I had lost my parents, as well. I felt I had lost everything. I felt I had lost everything.

And yet, I did not lose everything. I did not stop being me. I did not stop existing. There were things I could do: I could make my bed, I could wash the dishes, I could walk the dog, I could feed myself, I could live in the world.

Thank you sweet Robot.
"The idea of a city split into two by ideologically opposing factions, and the split being marked by a big wall, sounds like sci-fi now."

Current reality in Nicosia (capital of Cyprus, a EU nation).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Buffer_Zone_in_...

>"The Turkish army has built a barrier on the zone's northern side, consisting mainly of barbed-wire fencing, concrete wall segments, watchtowers, anti-tank ditches, and minefields. The zone cuts through the centre of Nicosia, separating the city into southern and northern sections. In total, it spans an area of 346 square kilometres (134 sq mi), varying in width from less than 20 metres (66 ft) to more than 7 kilometres (4.3 mi).[2][3][4] Because of this, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Nicosia remains the last divided capital in Europe.[5][6]"
A bit like today, I feel like a toddler playing with Java coloured cubes, while the “real programmers” are the Linux contributors, people who write drivers and so on. Tomorrow it will be 3 layers: The C programmers, the people from Atlassian or Apple who build the platforms, and us, programming with the subset of the language they give us.
Measles is insanely transmissible though, twice as much as Delta and four-five times as much as the original Wuhan wild type.

On the other hand it doesn't mutate much and the vaccine has a greater efficiency.
This is more akin to "found art." The context gives artistic meaning to something not originally conceived with artistic intent.
Why does exercising your right have consequences? If we go that way, why not just jail them? ("You have a right to choose, but if you do you're going to a quarantine facility")
You can increase the probability of being able to survive an OOM condition long enough to emit diagnostic info in most memory-managed languages (java, python, etc.) fairly easily. Allocate (and write data to) some global fixed size chunk of ballast memory at program startup, and whenever an allocator failure is detected immediately free that block and emit whatever diagnostics you need. simcop2387 pointed out that Perl even supports this as an interpreter setting; in other languages I've done it manually.

This is more useful than OOM'd programs silently disappearing, but isn't foolproof (that's why I said "increase the probability" rather than "guarantee"): if the OOM killer gets invoked before your telemetry, if you've forked, or if whatever your language does in order to even detect an allocator error is itself memory-costly (looking at you, Python--why on earth would you allocate in order to construct a MemoryError object?!), you will still go down hard.

Other than going back in time and reversing Linux's original sin (allocation success is a lie), swap is the "solution" to these situations, but for many people that cure is worse than the disease.

I often wish there was a generally-available way to map memory to files (rather than mmaping files to memory) selectively in my programs. For cases like this--handling OOM conditions and doing cleanup/reporting before turning out the lights, when the OOM condition was caused either by code in my program outside of my control or other programs on the system outside of my control--having a "all allocations after this instant should occur in a file on disk, not memory" bit to flip would be nice. I don't need my cleanup to be fast; if this is happening I'm already on a sad enough path that I'm happy to trade shutdown/crash performance for fidelity of diagnostic data and increased probability of successful orderly cleanup.

Of course, not being an OS developer, I assume this is impossible for reasons outside of my understanding; the few complicating factors I can think of (copy-on-write pages, for example) are hard enough, and I'm sure there are others.
IP only exists because of copyright law, and it would be tricky to apply copyright to an IP if it is not a creative work.
