ATT is really weird about it. They apparently decided a few years back that they'd not allow third party devices on their network, and keep doubling down on it.

Some folks smarter than myself figured out how to mimic the ONT handshakes or some such that they could use their own devices. IIRC, they were pulling the certs from the ATT box.
ATT then came in and installed new stuff at the station to not allow that anymore. I don't remember all the technical details, but that's what I found when I spent an hour or so researching how to get rid of their awful box. In short, you can't...and even if you manage to, it won't be for long.
Show HN: Messer, image resizing/optimization in the macOS status bar
Hi Hacker News! Wanted to show you my latest project, Messer:

https://apps.apple.com/de/app/messer/id1586304988?l=en&mt=12

(clickable link in the comment)

It's a small native app for the most basic task of all: converting, resizing and optimizing images.

I'm currently trying to grow my following, which means I post images a lot, however, these images need to be in a specific format/ratio. Usually, I would go to one of the many websites that resize and convert images, but the experience is subpar and it's a drag to do this multiple times a day.
Therefore I created a fully native app that does this for me, converting an image takes a second and since it's deeply integrated with macOS it works by simply dragging and dropping, first you drag your image to the menu bar, adjust your parameters, and then drag the image out directly where you need it

There are a couple more features I would like to implement like an embedded code formatter (a la carbon.now.sh or ray.so), so if you know of a Swift library that can output colored/formatted code, let me know.

Enjoy! (and please rate if possible!)

There are implicit dependencies and explicit ones. Build dependencies and runtime ones.

Other package managers typically handle the last one and completely ignore implicit dependencies.
France exports a lot of nuclear power on nights and weekends while importing power during peak demand. Their actually further from self sufficiency.

It gets more complicated on a euro per kWh basis as Frances nuclear is much more expensive so economically their losing money even if it looks better in terms of cash flows.
I felt the same. Books 5 and 6 are a real slog. I haven't been able to finish book six, but I'll try to before the next season is released.
Yes, it's very possible.

Also you can simply use multiple uplinks without VPS and it provides better latency. The drawback is that you can't failover/balance protocols that use only one connection. Mosh and browsing work well tho.
I don't think your claim is entirely accurate. Google's blink and Webkit are probably very different after all these years. And even at the very beginning of Chrome, Google had to make quite a bit of changes because of Chrome's process / sandboxing model , which was the main reason for the fork later (also related adaptations for skia graphics engine and v8) See [1].

Besides html rendering is only a portion of what makes a browser. considering today's Chromium codebase as a whole, I would guess probably >80% of it was written by Google engineers (and certainly not in their off hours). Still I would consider it a successful open source project as now it has quite diverse contributors, (Non Google contributors now amount to ~30% [2], biggest are Microsoft, Igalia, Intel etc.).

> the article failed to show a relationship between number of physicians and quality of health outcomes in countries that would prove that this is a problem worth solving.

Anecdotally it absolutely is. Finding an appointment for even the most basic level of care is impossible. If you’re sick, if the level of care you receive today or after a week or two is the same and the outcomes are the same, for me as a patient, it matters if I can suffer a few days less. I cannot count the number of times I’ve just had to “wait it out”. This is absolutely dangerous because sometimes, even the smallest of the things like “a sniffle” can become life threatening if not treated on time.
> Israel is still having covid breakouts, despite their high vaccination rates. It's putting a strain on many health care systems.

While Israel got far out ahead in its vaccination campaign early on, it’s current rate of vaccination isn’t particularly high, still below 65% of the population has completed the full course of vaccinations.

Heard immunity estimates have always been at the 70-85% level, so there’s no reason to believe Israel was immune to such outbreaks, especially with a more virulent variant such as delta. All that matters is whether the replication rate is above or below one, if you don’t have the level of population immunity to keep that R value below one, you will see outbreaks.

> Our modern Civilization is more vulnerable to an average once-a-millenium volcanic eruption than it's ever been, on account of our numbers and our dependency on supply chains for our sustenance.

I think it's more robust than ever, because of our ability to ship food around the world. Second, most of our food is grown to be eaten by animals that we then eat. If we ate the food directly, you could feed way more people than through the meat. So if there is a reduction in capacity through such an event, unless it's too extreme, we'll still have lots of food left.
I left that out but yes, with an actual proof of guilt or VERY STRONG signal that the asset will be used in an imminent crime, and not just any crime but one that will cause actual harm to other persons.

You really think google would walk away from all those safari users, especially on mobile, by forcing chrome? This seems … unlikely.
How much do you charge? What kind of revenue is this producing? I realize you are getting many non-monetary rewards from this.
Actually, it’s the opposite. It’s absolutely low risk because the electricity production can be sold years in advance if you want.

Nuclear electricity has the highest of all capacity factors and is therefore almost 100% planable, so there is virtually zero risk.

In most places, and certainly in places that practice "common law" and democracy, part of what makes something legal is its moral acceptability. The laws on the books exist to reflect that and to make things function efficiently and fairly. Without that, laws are simply a tool of violence and oppression by the authorities (or the majority, in case of a democracy) against their population.

That's why we have juries of peers, and the ability of a jury to say "this person did the thing, but they shouldn't be punished for it".
How about the FBI man up and seize the Sackler's $11B, eh? It's easy to pick on the small guy while the whale goes unpunished.

Then in some way, we are in agreement. Science cannot say anything meaningful about things that don’t affect reality. Religion (or theology) concerns itself with the reason that reality exists.

The purview of science is limited to phenomena that can be observed or experienced. The purview of religion (specifically theology) is that which cannot be explained by science (now or ever)
Pattern matching enable an entirely new class of features that are too tedious and error prone to implement otherwise. Specifically, anything that has to do with recursive structures. Are recursive structures useful? Perhaps, given that natural language is fundamentally based on recursive structures.

Apps designed pre ubiqutous pattern matching say little about whether pattern matching has good uses or not. More likely features alluding to pattern matching were culled early in the design process.
Heck, AT&T won't even let you change the wifi password if you use their router. Well, you can change it, but it will revert to whatever's on the sticker when the router updates itself. And they will tell you this with a straight face. Incredible.

Excel is kind of WYSIWYG programming. I use it for quick stuff frequently and I’m amazed at what it makes easier than e.g. numpy. There’s a whole class of error you don’t make because you see the whole intermediate state all together (there are also whole classes of error you do make that you wouldn’t make in normal programming).

I have been using it for character sheets in tabletop RPGs I’m playing lately, and it’s great. With a line of js, you can add an arbitrary button to google sheets, and then it turns into a quick, dirty UI that’s transparent (click on the cell and see that AC=10 plus dexterity modifier) and on-the-fly editable by everyone together.

I wish there was a way I could financially support Sci-Hub.

Pretty sure "Aryans" is a 19th and 20th century term used for the Indo-Europeans (or roughly approximating "Indo-Europeans"), hence the association of "Aryan" and 20th century race ideology (e.g., theories of an "Aryan homeland" was in Germany, that the Germans were a pure Aryan race, etc).
Apart from the SPOF, speedify introduces additional latency because you have to bounce through their servers.

Most of the time you can simply route traffic through multiple uplinks without bonding.
What I meant more specifically is that there's a limited number of operations that go into a neural network and the justification for the best architectures is that they have the best performance.

You can see it in this paper too - there isn't any motivating theory about how to come up with something like this; the entire paper is "we tried some things, here's what worked and what didn't". (This is just an observation, I'm not criticising the authors at all)

I never know of a case when termination was coming out of the blue. I had to terminate a few dozen people over the past 20 years, it was not a surprise for anyone and many people even though "why did it take so long?" in some cases. In every single case was a problem with the recruiting (not interview) process. 15-20 years ago it was hiring the cheapest people possible, in the past 5 years it is hiring any people to meet diversity quota, in both cases skills were far from requirements and the desire to learn was almost zero.
If the workstations were twice as fast and cost twice as much they would still have a good market niche. Instead they were more like 30% faster and cost 10 times as much.

Intel eroded that speed delta pretty quickly too. The other chip makers were crushed by Intel's billions of R&D spending.

Of course it is, Millennials are as young as 25 this year. Its doubtful many can afford a house just a few years out of college (and even more doubtful if they didnt go to college). Even those that can may not be ready to settle down and commit to such a large purchase.
that seems self-evident? tribes are (small) political organizations.

one of the central problems of organizations is control/coordination, and religion (through normalizing and centralizing beliefs) provides a very convenient avenue for that (especially because the locus of power is perceived to be beyond any given tribal member). force can be used for control but that's adversarial (also limits size, and therefore power), and a cognizant leader eventually realizes its easier to have the people control themselves than always exert force on them (something most children eventually learn, at least subconsciously, during play).

politics isn't necessarily negative by the way--it's simply a part of the bargain when people aggregate into larger bodies and need to coordinate. it's also a relatively recent innovation that we try to separate government from religion, the intertwining of which had been a long-established norm across cultures.

Sounds like you've never seen advanced Accounting spreadsheets because Excel definitely does not have left-to-right/top-to-bottom or even intermediate values restrictions. There are some amazing Gordian knots people have programmed in Excel.

You haven't really seen the horrors of programming in Excel until you've needed to use the "Formula Auditing" group of the Formulas tab in the Excel ribbon. Admittedly "Trace Dependents" and "Trace Precedents" are still rather more visual tools than their source code equivalents, but they are their own sort of fun.
Man, I love Ruby. I think it is much more elegant than Python and I really really wish Ruby would have taken the world instead of Python. That said, it's often the case where I want to do something where there's just no Ruby library for it (or at least not a maintained one) and there's a well known library for it in Python. Note: I do low level things, I don't do anything related to web or Rails.

Also, sometimes I start writing scripts for simple things, then they grow and at some point it's interesting to share them to my teammates, and they all immediately dismiss it since it's in Ruby. For that reason, I started doing all my work-related scripting in Python. But oh boy, it's always with that sad feeling of "I wish I was doing this in Ruby". Sometimes I think I should just not have learned Ruby and jumped straight to Python.

Spam's ruined phone calls, like it ruined email. No coincidence those are the two worst ways to reach me. Email's almost exclusively for receiving messages that I'm expecting from machines, now (password reset, order confirmation, whatever). It's not even any good for unexpected notices from machines, let alone communication with humans. Sure, I could migrate to another address and it'd be more usable for a while, or I could spend a Saturday crafting rules to fix my inbox, but why bother? 99% of what I care about comes in via WhatsApp or (less often) text.

[EDIT] Except for work. My work email is still sorta useful. But in part that's because it's much newer. It's also getting more and more junked up with garbage, without active management and rule-setting.
That’s true for only a subset of spreadsheets. There’s no requirement for formulas to work left to right and top to bottom.

Also, the moment you write = (A1 + A2)/2, not all intermediate values are visible anymore (although Excel has support for temporarily making them visible (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/evaluate-a-nested...))

Also, in my experience, it’s fairly normal to have hidden rows or columns (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/hide-or-show-rows...) or hide entire sheets (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/hide-or-unhide-wo...)

And of course, the ultimate “not all intermediate values are visible” is the use of macro functions or iterations (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-formula-re...)

My guess is that the redacted section contains leading commentary on Soviet reactions to potential western actions and policies.

The unredacted section reads are pretty neutral analysis, but you can see the section building. It opens with identifying that things are in flux, and a statement that western policy can likely influence soviet actions. I'd expect that to naturally lead into more detailed examinations, and open-ended but leading suggestions as to beneficial actions.

I thought this article about Norm Macdonald and his gambling habit was interesting. It's hard to say he was an addict, because I'm not sure how much harm this habit caused him or others.

This quote stood out to me, and maybe it's how he justified it, but could also be a legitimate reason why (as far as I know) it didn't cause him much harm.

Expecting the user to have a browser that supports a recent version of TLS is not unreasonable. My point was that even browsers older then most people imagine support HTTPS, but like you said something newer then Netscape would be required.
