I feel there lots more than what we see on HN. Countless calculator, weather and niche sites I come across who never have anything in public. Long back each niche would host a forum software and would make quite a bit through adsense. Ofcourse, Facebook etc al have pretty much killed that avenue.
I am pretty sure that we're all just myopic and tend to project what goes on inside of our little echo chambers across the entire space (unless I'm the one projecting... nope, couldn't be!)

Heck, I regularly manage to run into people that have managed to convince themselves that nobody actually runs Linux servers or that Java is the only programming language that has any traction...

The truth is that real-world tech adoption is actually extremely heterogeneous and we would all do well to remind ourselves of that from time to time.
i read something about a guy shattering his tungsten wedding band on his wedding night, after deciding that slapping his hands on concrete was how you're supposed to dance.

professional advice: don't use an exotic metal for your wedding band. some fire departments can't cut it if your ring finger swells up.
Take in mind that housing is typically more expensive for foreigners/tourists than for nationals in most countries

Because nationals have a social net of family and friends that tourists don't have. Because nobody knows you, so the landlord is taking a higher risk, and because locals have more information about the place (were to go for eat cheap, business or streets to avoid, etc...).

Being able to blend with the background can be a big advantage even if the place is a little more expensive. Your personal circumstances (food that you don't like, can't eat by religious reasons, etc) must be taken in mind also.
Chiang Mai, dirt cheap (as little as $100/month rent, wood floors, mountain view). Poor air quality, great local food.

Da Nang, Vietnam. Bit more expensive, $200/month rent on the low end. Friendly people, surprisingly even to Americans. Great air quality, decent enough waves in winter if you surf. Terrible local food, but certain areas cater to foreigners and there the food is excellent ($5 to $15).

Internet is solid in both locations.
The data on vaccine efficacy is not new. The data on relative immunity post disease course vs. vaccine is what's new. But when when choosing to vaccinate or get infected, one has to evaluate the cost of infection and vaccination.

The cost of vaccination is a day or so of malaise. The cost of infection is 10+ days of flu like symptoms, the possibility of hospitalization, the possibility of death and the possibility of long term morbidity. It's a pretty straight forward computation; vaccination has very low cost vs. natural disease course.
My System76 Lemur Pro easily runs a complete business day on a single battery charge, on Pop_OS!.
Thanks to its hardware, performance can be throttled (which I barely notice as it’s quite performing with standard settings) so that a single charge can last easily 12 hours.
Wrong every politician knows massive carbon taxes will be ultimately borne by consumers. What do you think oil gas profit margins are such that they can offset taxes for anyone making less than 400,000. Lol thats like 98% of the country
So your concern is that someone is unlucky enough to a) suffer 30+ neural hash collisions, b) some subset of those are indistinguishable from child pornography due to low resolution (flesh colored bathing suits), c) those images match the multi stage hash, then d) authorities subpoena the full resolution images, which turn out to be innocuous but they decide to harass the user anyway.

I dunno man, I’m not to worried about this chain of events.
People like to pick out TSMC because they're the winner of the foundry wars; GlobalFoundries bowed out of further process node development, I think two years ago, and Intel is trying and failing to equal TSMC's performance with their in-house fabs. GF and Samsung and other players are still around, but only TSMC offers the highest-resolution parts, so they're your only option if your part needs current fabrication technology, and they may be your cheapest option even if it doesn't.
Not all games work but many on Steam do and most run well out of the box. It will only improve as Steam is committed on making Linux the new PC OS for gaming.
Are pepperoni pizzas valid dishes?
Letting go of rent control would make some sense. It would push the less educated poor out of the most desirable locations and allow sophisticated city companies to hire well educated tech talent from all over the country. Although obviously it's not so good if you're a poor Stockholm renter. There are definite economic benefits to doing this though.

However to enable a boom in private housing construction to fix the supply issue it also needs liberal land use regulation. Which is a measure so controversial nobody in Europe even considers it. Otherwise nothing can be built no matter the potential for profit. I personally wouldn't sell out Swedish egalitarianism for just a bunch of tech corporations. It would probably cause a lot of anger. So I wouldn't do one without the other.
Come to think of it... those were Romans, not Italians. Italy didn't exist until its unification in 1861, all these new world veggies are entirely "traditional Italian"...

> if you're arguing words have specific meanings...they no longer do.

Some terms have a more precise definition than others. I think "relational model" has a very specific meaning, apart from products that claim to implement it or not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model#:~:text=The%2....

> if you're arguing words have specific meanings...they no longer do.

More on that: Recently Zoom the company was fined 85 million because it used the term "End-to-End encryption" inappropriately in its marketing materials. They could have tried to defend themselves by saying "The word end-to-end-encryption" no longer has a specific meaning, therefore we can use it to mean anything we want".

But obviously that would not have worked I don't think.

But what then do you think is a realistic alternative? YouTube costing $20/mo or more? Can’t watch videos without a patron?

If your answer is nothing — I expect everything for free, then that’s both unrealistic and parasitic.
Google and Facebook collate your shopping behavior across various 3rd party websites to show shopping related ads.

Apple scans your local device to report you for child pornography to the FBI based on dubious hashes.

The U.S. response has been extremely variable and has operated under circumstances entirely different, geographically and politically from those of a much smaller, island country like Australia. Comparing the two as countries is absurd. With that said, there are many legitimate criticisms of the Australian government reaction, and yes, on authoritarian grounds as well. The U.S response is in many ways worth criticizing as well. Furthermore, what has Australia really gained? Endless rolling lockdowns and a fragility against covid upticks that's laughably tenuous while also being highly authoritarian. It's wonderful to see the exceptionally low death count among COVID cases in the country (taking into account its unique geographic situation) but had vaccination not become available, this would have been a very fragile, unsustainable thing bought at enormous social cost.
I added axios when I made a small CRA app, it was the only thing I was tempted to add. The kind of people who just wrote their 12th blog post about how "I finally understand monads this time" might want redux; if I had any question about how to handle states v. props I might add mobx.

I need a CSS framework like I need a brain tumor. With CSS you can learn CSS and make a web site look like you want. With bootstrap you can learn CSS and learn bootstrap and almost make a web site look like you want.
My house was build some 30 years ago by students who paid for their education. They added a new badge of construction workers every year (and the oldest badge got their diploma). I have no idea what happened with the concept. They are now back to [the usual] building things next to and inside the school then demolishing it.

I imagine the collective mind could greatly benefit if everyone had to spend a few (education focused) months in construction (and/or say farming etc) Its not boring if its just a short period. In construction you can learn the basics of a discipline (and make yourself useful) in just a few days.

But I agree it is the obstruction that prevents cheap housing. Its probably intentional (to some extend) simply to drive up prices.
What happens then is that the new Linux user soon needs a newer version of some package and they have to add a third party repo to their stable system and after having done this a few times, soon an update from one of them will cause the install to be unbootable.

I've had a way better experience with desktop Linux when using a managed rolling release like Manjaro.
I've wondered this before, but never found much concrete--except that being picky about rendering serifs on "low resolution" screens is a very modern thing in itself!

My intuition is that it comes from books/newspapers and nascent desktop publishing universes; sans-serif fonts being used for large amounts of body text anywhere, on paper or not, is relatively new as a mainstream thing. (That isn't to say it never happened, just that it's historically rare.)
The jury is still out on that, but the question is, how did you attain your natural immunity levels? If it was a breakthrough infection, or because it happened before vaccinations, sure. If it was because you purposely infected yourself, you are a risk to the public, because while your were infected, you spread the disease, and moreover, if you had serious symptoms, you consumed hospital resources and risked frontline workers that would have been better utilized for people were had other illnesses or unavoidable COVID (e.g. immunocompromised)

All I see is a bunch of selfish people with incredibly weak excuses not to get vax'ed or wear masks, often for ostensibly stupid political reasons (e.g. "I'm a libertarian/conservative and no one tells me what to do! Freedom!!!!!" As in, I know motorcycle helmets will save my life, but I refuse to wear one if you tell me I need to, so there!), or based on astronomically rare vaccine complications well below the risk of the disease complications themselves.

Antivaccination beliefs are on par with moon landing hoaxers and flat earthers and deepak chopra followers IMHO. It's intellectual snake oil.
Getting flashbacks. I'm glad SATA is a single device per cable/socket.
It's possible, we just haven't figured out how to do it yet.
The Secrets of Disney World’s Robots
Apple themselves addressed "why", summarized here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28176418

The facts remain that: a) Apple's new system is strictly superior to PhotoDNA in every respect people complain about, including malicious insertions of non-CSAM hashes (since you'd need 30 matches with Apple, and 1 with every other online service); and b) concerns about the local implementation mostly rely on fear of the unknown and illogical arguments (Apple's system makes it no more likely than before that we'll see backdoors in their OSes, and if that ever happens researchers would certainly discover it).
>In WSL1, access to files on the Windows host is far quicker than WSL2 and symlinks work everywhere.

I find this pretty annoying, as I need to access Windows files from WSL more often than the opposite (e.g. get stuff from my Windows Downloads folder, or use bash to quickly interact with a Windows folder). Do you know if access to Docker volumes is faster or slower on WSL2 by the way? I wouldn't switch back to WSL1 since some nix/cabal stuff didn't work on WSL1 at all but I am curious as that's the other point where my windows/wsl filesystems touch in ways I've never looked into.
There are a couple, in particular I imagine violence won't be much help when the law has one of its psychotic episodes and refuses to reflect reality in a sensible way.

So stuff like people being declared dead incorrectly, identity fraud. I'm also reminded of an incident in the Netherlands that lead to the fall of the current (still acting; it's complicated) government, where the tax agency was somehow convinced people had fraudulently received particular subsidies and decide to get the money back plus interest, which it turns out tax agencies are very good at.

Good luck finding anyone to beat up there. You can scare people but you can't intimidate red tape.

I accidentally dropped my tungsten carbide wedding band on my kitchen tile floor. Now, I have 4 shattered pieces of tungsten carbide sitting in a box on my desk.
Nor is there a mention of Hans Bethe, who contributed his name (only) to the Alpher-Bethe-Gamow paper. Pronounce it aloud if you don’t get their joke.
Real estate speculation
Compared to the US it definitely is. Especially if you stay away from New Belgrade, I've always underestimated how much is there to walk between like two or three blocs there.

Other than that it's just an incredibly interesting city to walk through, even if you're inconvenienced as a pedestrian multiple times on that trip. You never know what you'll find behind the corner: a building that looks like it's falling apart, a gaze-inspiring brutalist building from Yugoslav times, or a modern-looking office. The only thing you know for sure is that you won't have to walk long before finding a café.
I use channellocks, the width setting feature accomplishes the same goal, using vice grips takes too long. But do you, I suppose.
Well brew is absolute crap, and most Linux package managers are better. I’d suggest using nix for macOS in single-user imperative mode. It functions pretty much like brew except it never pukes all over itself.
Also, how does it compare to an electric toothbrush of similar price? There are some very high end toothbrushes for $140 that will last 3-5 years with head changes.
Best book I've read in a long while. I hope to reread every few years.
Agriculture is only a drain if you think eating food is unnecessary.

The pragmatic approach would simply be to price water so farmers and consumers are incentivized to use it efficiently.
I had to look this up. It seems he has a periodic table with lots of little cubbyholes with pictures and items representing the element, but not every element is actually there.

It's hard to find a good source for details about this display, but he has cubbyholes for all of the lanthanides and actinides, so there must be some that don't have the actual element being represented.
Safekeeping, offline viewing, producing derivative works (it's great they allow setting CC licenses on videos, but are subsequently hostile to anyone trying to actually use those rights), and viewing on platforms where the browser or player doesn't work (that's been a few years by now though, now that all my hardware is newer and I'm no poor student anymore).

A great example I recently saw is someone extracting the audio feed and double checking the Doppler shift of a passing quadcopter to confirm a speed claim. It checked out and the math was included. Stellar comment. Harder to do if obtaining the video's data is made hard.
Meanwhile in Vancouver:

. 1120 CAD/sqft

. median before tax household income (City of Vancouver) 72,585 CAD

. ~30pc tax -> ~51k after tax

. 400 sqft 1120= 448k. 15% = 62k for a 15pc downpayment for a 400sqft condo.

Summary: In Vancouver the median household* would not be able to save 15% of a down payment for a 400 sqft "home" if they spent NOTHING for a year. We'll ignore the fact that housing appreciated for many years here at more than 10%/y.

This is good for ppl like me b/c I own stuff and this situation forces ppl to work more for less money in jobs they hate. For folks starting out (incl new immigrants), it's terrible. The root cause is very high immigration. Sweden (and Canada) have very high rates which puts pressure on the low end of the job market and pushes up home prices.

The US has a much lower rate (0.5%/y) than Canada (1.1%/y), which is likely one reason why homes are still somewhat affordable there.
Well, nobody trusted Facebook to begin with so... /s

This other article about writing style risks is interesting. If it's accurate, then I will probably have early onset alzheimer's. I miss articles, misspell, and repeat words. I'm only in my 30s...

'Top' could mean 'most popular' or 'I think this one is best'. I tend to just use stock Ubuntu (which with Fedora vies for the first of those senses), though some distros that are based on it like POP!_OS and Elementary are kind of appealing.
Ask HN: Does social media use lead to mental/physical fatigue?
I’ve noticed that I have mental (and perhaps physical) fatigue when I spent a lot of time online. I don’t yet have a theory as to why, but I’m curious if this translates to other people’s experience with social media / online.
For me, something like this is exactly where Deno would shine. I could just run `deno run <script url> --allow-net=YouTube.com --allow-write=.` and not worry about that it could do anything dangerous. Probably the url list would be a bit more complicated, but I could also just blanket allow net without worrying, since allow-read isn't needed.
Anything is possible. Better to focus on what is likely. Did you stop using google over any of their outages? Most people didn't. These things matter, but people in software overstate them.

For 1., it's possible (easy even? I've never tried this in a cross-compiling situation) to build packages on one system and push them to another via SSH.

I suppose an upgrade would still result in two copies of everything, at least temporarily, but at least the target system doesn't need source code, compilers, etc.

Have you actually lived in the US so that you personally know of this 180 degrees of difference? If so, which parts of the US? I ask because the differences between New York City, Tallahassee, Chicago, Columbus, Nashville, Kansas City, Austin, Taos, San Francisco, Boise, Hattiesburg, Denver, Portland, Bar Harbor, etc. are so wildly stark as to be like different countries on many levels (and I say this as someone who has lived in a number of countries from the US to Europe to Asia, and in a number of States as well)
You can do this in Greece, cities like Thessaloniki or Athens, or even some satelite towns there on the beach. Also Balkans, Sofia and Belgrade are beautiful and 1K goes a long way.
Isn't it common in the California?

Debian 10 release date: 6 July 2019

Centos 6 release date: 10 July 2011

This is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison.
Mine does
I manage hundreds of Linux desktops (VDI, laptops, desktops) and about 75 Windows 10 laptops.

I see at least 25 Windows tickets for every Linux desktop ticket.

Sure I am paid more than an equivalent Windows admin but the ongoing cost of support is far less. Stuff just doesn't randomly stop working like in Windows. It's really nice.
A Bad Solar Storm Could Cause an 'Internet Apocalypse'
I started busking cause it's been hard to find enough gigs to keep me happy and practicing the accordion is both more fun on a street corner and less grating for the neighbors in my apartment.

It's been kind of interested to meet some of the other folks who are on the street for various reasons. I did sound for a music festival a couple weeks ago and there were a bunch of folks who had just been at Rainbow... now that same little crew is camping out near the town where I live. I see them sometimes and they join up and play music with me on the street. Or if I see them, I guess I am joining them.

It's really hard to make tips... when these folks are with me, I don't get the bigger bills any more.

While it's true that a lot of folks who are living rough are doing it because they have no choice, between the dirtbag climbers I climb with sometimes, the crusty punks I grew up around, and the itinerant musicians I've been hanging out with, there is a large segment of folks who choose to be outside.

For all that, it's -still- a really bad idea to romanticize living rough.

Where I live, I get the idea that most folks don't think people who don't own property are actual humans-- much less the folks who won't or can't pay rent. And the systems of power around us treat folks consistently with that outlook. People get beat down really fast, and it can be really hard for folks to get back into some place or other once they've been living in a car or on the street for more than a couple years.
Most toasters suck. I have to buy a new one every other year or so, for some stupid electrical or mechanical reason. Right now, for instance, the latch on our current toaster -- the one that latches on to the handle you press down to lower the bread and close the circuit to start the heating elements -- isn't latching any more. Fucking low-grade crap! I mean, I'm not asking for a self-lowering magically-correct-degree-of-toasting toaster like in the old TC video -- I just want a stupid mechanical latch in a product I bought a couple of years ago to keep stupidly mechanically latching for six or ten more years. That is not too much to ask.

So, stick to your complex medical instruments. Or, if you switch to toasters, please don't build the same shitty crap as everyone else.
I wonder if this is an opportunity for paid house-sitters? You could have them sign a binding contract to prevent sitter from turning into a squatter. The house sitter gets free rent, the homeowner gets peace-of-mind.
That’s not how our modern democracies tend to work.

Rather, voters choose between one option, thinly veiled as two chooses, set by monied interests and corralled by media barons.
You can easily get an affordable single-family house - it's just going to be a long, long way from your job because you'll have to drive through all the land taken up by less affordable single-family houses who want to pay extra to live closer to where everybody else is.

Whatsapp really is Facebook. Facebook owns them, lock stock and barrel, so I'm not sure what you think the distinction is.

I understand it's ubiquitous, but I don't personally use it, and can't imagine joining it. Nobody I know uses it, but I will absolutely allow as how that probably has to do with demographics -- my network of friends, family, and coworkers is overwhelmingly on iOS.
