Maybe run memtest while you sleep? :)

> Or maybe it’s a thermal issue.

I'm no expert on thermal issues by any means, but I did have a laptop that overheated frequently in the past. It was very easy to identify that it was a heat problem, because the fans would start screaming and then it would reliably overheat and power itself off anytime I tried to do anything CPU-intensive with it. Sticking it in a freezer "solved" the problem.

Anyway, given that your freezes are completely random, it doesn't sound like a thermal issue?
Would you go to someone who has Crohn's disease and tell them "you're doing that to yourself"? No? So why do it with depression?
heh, Crypto AG is on that list. prescient. though so is "speedbump" and "meta" so meh. such a weird list, extremely specific keywords like listening post codenames but then extremely common ones too.

Not sure how the charger looks in Switzerland, but if it's modular (you can swap the plug), does it have a third connection where it attaches to the brick? The ones in UK have 3 prongs but only 2 connections.
Very good article.
Wow I sorta lost track of Jacob and wasn't aware of this drama. I followed the trail a bit and here are the relevant court docs.

>We’re so obsessed with freedom from the government and ensuring capitalism marches on

Then why is capitalism being killed and replaced with corporatism? Why is everything industry consolidating having one or few very big players and no medium and small businesses?
(To start: Just to clarify there's a significant difference between benzodiazepines and opiates.)

> I have a friend in the US who told me they have an app on their phone where they can just tap a button and the next day they can refill their benzo prescription, and it's been like that for years without having seen a doctor again.

Is this the "request a refill" feature that every US pharmacy offers? Granted, benzodiazepines are less restricted than stimulant drugs¹, but a doctor in the US need to at least review a prescription twice a year.

Chronic (daily) of benzodiazepines is bad, and doctors will not² start new patients on this.

There's still a lot of legacy patients who are on chronic benzodiazepine treatments -- doctors should work with them to wean them off, but it's very challenging and disruptive.

Requiring a patient receiving a benzodiazepine at a non-daily level (e.g. for seizures, anxiety, occasional insomnia) to go back to see their doctor when nothing's changed several times a year is just pushing medical costs (money/time) on the disabled.

¹: e.g. Adderall, which can't be refilled

²: Providers are trained not to these days, at least
I met some people who do not know how to write correct code (maybe because they do not have a correct model of how computation works all the way down). So the 'trick' of one guy was just to work as fast as possible so at least they looked productive. Slowing down wouldnt have helped.
Privacy Is a Human Right
This was for an intern program we run for individuals with non-traditional backgrounds (self taught, degrees in non-CS subjects etc), so I don't imagine it having much impact. We were looking primarily at the coding test and the candidate's Github profile.
Like quantum physics, memory ordering is deeply unintuitive (on platforms like ARM). Unlike quantum physics, which is an unfortunate immutable fact of the universe, we got ourselves into this mess and we have no one to blame but ourselves for it.

I'm only somewhat joking. People need to understand these memory models if they intend on writing atomic operations in their software, even if they aren't currently targeting ARM platforms. In this era, it's absurdly easy to change an an LLVM compiler to target aarch64, and it will happen for plenty of software that was written without ever considering the differences in atomic behavior on this platform.
Depends on what _you_ are made of. If you're small enough to live on what is a point particle in our universe, then your concept of "looks like" will be different than ours. For one thing, your interaction with photons will be different than ours.
Is Microsoft making money off hardware upgrades?
That one is complicated a bit by housing situation - but if, if, cities and freeholders get serious about ensuring every possible parking spot (including unmarked ones) has a convenient electrical outlet nearby, that would be a game changer.

In a sense, this would be much cheaper and more convenient than supercharger stations - but what it trades in infrastructure saving, it costs in getting myriad of land owners and councils to make it happen.
Out of curiosity, why did you feel appsmith was better than budibase and retool - as a no-code platform?

This typically means the machine is thermally throttled, not that the kernel is actually using the CPU.
I don't want to seem like I'm defending SpringBoot, ferchrissakes, but still fail to see a big impact of PWAs. Especially a positive one for the user, not mere ad clicks.

In general, the whole rich web app space reminds me of the "You're not making Christianity better, you're making Rock'n Roll worse" meme.
Small hotel owner here. There is no grid capacity near our airport, we actually have a restriction of 15kW limit / building in the area, and we ended up powering each floor from a different building (my family owns the neighbouring houses).

We had gov't grants available to build charging stations, and couldn't get them because of the power grid situation.
I think it made some people incredibly rich, jobs are an unplanned side effect.
Glad they went with NeXT though--Obj-C is a much better framework language than C++.

I honestly think Objective-C is a big part of Apple's OS success.

Edit:

Building system APIs based on message passing provides a lot of flexibility and capability without having to worry about ABI compatibility or object layout. Message passing is good for hiding implementation details.

Obj-C also provides what Swift now calls protocol-oriented programming. Define a protocol and any object no matter its type can implement that protocol and be, say, a delegate for a long running operation. Etc.

This allowed Apple to innovate in their OS, providing increasingly more functionality more rapidly than what seemed to be happening elsewhere.

I think there's even more to this, but I'm tired.
Zooming out to a global level, geopolitics becomes important to consider as well. As soon as renewables are able to change the power dynamics between eg Russia and Ukraine (Ukraine is dependant on Russia for oil for heating in the winter) things get very interesting indeed. We are still decades away from that imo.
The market design is unfavorable to retail investors and traders partly due the regulations and laws in the US.

- flow internalization which reduces liquidity on venues and widens spreads

- dark pools which is liquidity only available to institutions, therefore removing liquidity from venues that retail trades on

- market fragmentation which harms retail investors who don't have the execution sophistication of HFT or execution algos

- short sale restriction which harms retail traders who incur excess slippage

- allowing market makers to naked short sell but not retail investors which harms retail investors because they have to pay rents to access it

- trading halts which benefit institutions (over retail) who have the execution sophistication to handle unhalts and who can price warrants etc better while the product is halted
I’m working a similar thing but open source you can check it out at https://github.com/rukshn/hypertables

Having lived a part of my childhood in a poor communist country from Eastern Europe and a part of my younghood in a poor country from Eastern Europe I had some moments when I asked myself if it wouldn't be better for me to move to US. I quit asking myself this some time ago.

Severe pain can last quite a while after surgery. As someone who had multiple jaw surgeries, including one double jaw surgery, I know a hospital couldn’t keep me that long, nor could I afford it. Luckily for me, morphine makes me feel bad. It makes my heart pound and I just get this overall bad feeling. Oxycodone and hydrocodone pills were awesome, which is why I made a conscious effort to switch to plain Tylenol as soon as I could manage and throw them out. I haven’t felt the need to seek out pills again. Probably just a lucky feature of my brain.
indexedDB is quite a low level in what the interface gives you.

This includes what options you have available for querying (just accessing a key range, upper/lower bound, forward or backwards (backwards can be much slower), rather than a full query language like SQL etc..

So you need to design your app / data format and pre-plan any queries so you'll have the indexes you need, or do some glue logic to combine indexes as needed.
[Founder of Budibase here]

I would like to add Budibase to this list.

The platform is open source, makes it incredibly easy to build internal tools, SSO is free, and its apps are responsive. Also, coding is optional (unlike other platforms listed in this thread)

Also, Budibase is currently free!
I don’t disagree with you on future energy abundance. I too am an optimist. Renewables and Nuclear are a thing.

All I’m saying is that if we continue at this rate of carbon emissions, even only 10years, nevermind 30years (the time to develop and scale zero emissions planes, which has barely started) the planet will definitely see changes that won’t be nice. We are talking “Areas hosting 1B people today will see unsurvivable wet-bulb temperatures more than 100 days each year”. Mass migrations won’t be pretty.

The choice we are facing for the next 20 years is: Prepare your low carbon energy transition HARD, or prepare some damn solid walls around your country.
That seems to be something literally all governments, from Belarus over Turkey to China, the US and Europe can agree upon. Surveillance of ones citizens is good, consequences of this surveillance vary by country so.
Performance-wise is much better. Animations are smooth, and even AirPlay seems to work better.

Safari is also slightly better, although she dislikes the new way it organizes tabs.

That said, the thing she told me she liked the most, feature-wise related to her daily workflow, is the new Shortcuts app.
Rails is the only framework I've used much that's made me feel like regular upgrades are plausible/possible - things spit deprecation warnings, there are reasonable release notes, and most apps have decent test coverage so you can tell what breaks quickly and often fix it with little effort.
There are other painkillers coming and going. In my country, the middle ground was, for years, metamizole. This drug is currently baned in some countries (e.g. USA) for its side effects, while is sold nearly OTC in others (e.g. Mexico). Other drugs like flupirtine or nefopam are about the same: middle ground painkillers, but too bad side effects.

The good thing about opioids is that you can dosage them precisely, and that you have plenty of opiates in a ladder of potency. Tramadol (sold as Ultram in the US) is a middle-ground painkiller despite being an opiate. Same as codeine. Slightly above is tapentadol. Curious thing is despite tapentadol has not been found addictive (at least as addictive as other opiates), it's still an opiate, and so the FDA put it in the same bucket as fentanyl and morphine.

Another analgesic is cannabis. Sadly, it has the same problem as opiates: it was deemed too fun or too good, it seems we must endure pain to make the regulators happy. It turns out people hate pain, so they end up taking fentanyl and heroing under a bridge.

The sad thing about all this is that the regulators decided pain is not a bad thing, so you must endure it. But they decided anxiety is a terrible thing, so you can get as much bromazepam as you need. Even when bromazepan and other benzodiazepines create dependence and tolerance (and the withdrawal is terrible), I'm sure you now at least a dozen people taking it cronically (I do). They are as hooked to that thing as it was heroin but, hey, it's legally prescribed, so no problem here: one pill for breakfast, one before bed, and they are 24/7 high while nobody bats an eye.
So if they’re so big now, why can they throw more weight around than energy companies in terms of getting rid of the fossil fuel lobby?
To be honest, this does seem to not be testable. Ever tried to paint from memory? It works after a lot of training, sure, but how vivid should a picture be? If you really can see it, you probably need a doctor.

Ha, do they want to make fun of the reader here?

Neurologists sometimes come up with crap and this smells a lot like that. Could be true, but I am skeptical of any implications.
Just to add to this list:

Gravit Designer is quite good for small vector projects, though it is a subscription.

Adobe Lightroom (the new one) and possibly more can be installed from the App Store without all the Creative Cloud bloat.

Show HN: Co-Founder's Daily Journal
Hello, hackers!

One of the key issues founders are struggling with is co-founder conflict. According to Noam Wasserman, more than 65% of startups fail because of this problem.

Over the past year, my 3 friends and I worked on the Co-founder’s Daily Journal. It is a daily journal where for just 5 minutes a day, co-founders can come together (physically or online), answer a few simple questions, and work on improving their relationship.

Today, we’re launching on Product Hunt and would love for you to head over there and share your love by upvoting our product, or if you’re facing this problem yourself, go ahead and purchase the journal for yourself and your co-founder(s). It’s never too late to start a conversation, and figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it.
I'd like to highlight Budibase's incredible cloud platform - it's now 100% the easiest and most intuitive way to build business apps and internal tools.

It's not your money they are after. Some advertisers are interested in your money. Other advertisers are interested in influencing your opinion.

If you are in the US: Should you support Israel?

If you are in the UK: Should you vote to leave the EU?

If you are in Germany: Should you support US troops in Asia?

If you are in Australia: Should you support economic treaties with China?

Advertising techniques can sway you - and large portions of the population - into supporting or not supporting many facets of policy. If the Arab states want to destroy the Jewish state today, they would not send troops. They would fund influence of opinion of the American and European population.

Actually, they already do.
Since linux+hardware discussions usually leads to the >$1000 laptops e.g. System76/Framework (both of which I highly recommend) or Thinkpad; I'm hijacking the top comment to mention to those who are looking to get into Linux from Windows or macOS that Linux Operating System almost certainly works well with your existing hardware or any entry-level computer too.

In fact I've been buying entry-mid level low TDP laptops with good IO for several years now and put the cost saved in massive memory + storage upgrades for that laptop. Due to the accessibility of such laptops worldwide, I find that support/bug fixes to Linux OS/kernel arrive faster as well.

For small form factors, Converting a 11" Chromebook to Linux laptop can be done with some effort[1] and the compatibility varies with the chipset. But due to Google subsidies, such portable laptops costs way lesser than purpose built Linux hardware.

It is correct, if you split 100% across infinitely many possible outcomes, each outcome will have probability zero, still one of the possible outcomes will occur.

I started writing out a much longer response to this, but it just got very ranty so I'll cut it short. If you insist on such a reevaluation as to why people aren't in their best state, a one word answer "lazy", "attention seeking" (okay thats two words, you get the idea), "weak" isn't going to cut it. You need to continue to ask yourself why that is the case, why are these people so apparently lazy, that they would allow it to work negatively upon them? I obviously don't buy your argument, I think the expectation of complete agency in a society run on hundreds of thousands of people is a bit of a fantasy, but you could have a point. You just don't have anything yet.

Another argument against it, why not turn the mirror on yourself. Why are you not richer, stronger, more popular, happier? Maybe you are somewhat of all those things already, but a wild guess is that your not the strongest, richest, most famous and happiest person in the world. So why not, are you weak, lazy and shallow? Or, perhaps is the truth a bit more complicated?
Ah ha, very useful, thanks. I guess I can see why they used COM for this, it's the path of least resistance for them given the existing code, and I suppose it means you can write extensions in other languages too (though my memories of doing this are pretty horrible).
You can give Codeine or Tramadol, which are opiates that produce no "high" when taken in standard therapeutic doses. People do abuse them by taking a whole box at once, but you won't end up in a scenario like in OP's story where someone discovers it "solves all their problems" after receiving them for moderate pain from a routine medical procedure, and has them shooting heroin 6 months later.

I'm a big fan of https://soulver.app/ as a mobile app (not a heavy Mac user, but if I was, I'd get the Mac version too). Sadly it's not available on Windows at all, and the mobile version is currently not on the App Store either (they're working on a major update and apparently you can still get the old one via TestFlight, but I just kept the old one installed on my phone).

This app looks like a great alternative! I will definitely be checking it out.

You know, this is probably the most straightforward way to raise the hardware floor. Would anyone really prefer Fall Creators Update 2021 as the patch that killed Windows support for their machine, or a clean break with a new OS?
Never mentioned Crohn's. Why are you bringing that up? Same with the comment above above: Ask yourself, why are you deflecting, why are you removing agency?

Placebo gives 70% immunity?
Whilst I despise Facebook, I thought Zuckerberg was extremely savvy in picking up WhatsApp and Instagram (which I didn’t see coming), and also pursuing VR (which I absolutely did). But there’s a big difference between acquiring near-winners and building something entirely new. Perhaps I’m just being hopeful, but it seems unlikely to me that Facebook is an organisation that could construct something entirely new and execute it well. They’ll have lots of competition and buying it out will probably not be an option, given the intense scrutiny they’ve attracted. So I wouldn’t bet on Facebook to own the next generation of social platforms.
This won't happen anytime soon though as currently there is zero reason to upgrade your hardware just to bump the version number.
Doesn't any anti-trust investigation on Facebook likely include Instagram, WhatsApp or any of the other ~hundred companies they've acquired[1] and indulged in anti-competitive practices?

Doesn't this require a continuum? I don't think you get there with a measure on a countable set. That would make this an unphysical argument, IMO.
1) The CVE list for Linux begins at 1996 while for Windows 10 it begins at 2015.

2) Linux users appear to be more adept/willing to find and report bugs. A bug that's out of sight and out of mind doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

3) I suspect the openness of Linux facilitates individuals willing to find and report bugs.
