> I’m not from the US, so it’s possible that your banks are doing this part better than the local ones, but that’s always the worry with the phone for me.

Since the person is asking about what it’s like here I’m providing that perspective. In Canada banks also provide 1800 numbers so it should generally be free. I thought Canada has mostly unlimited plans but I haven’t had a Canadian phone plan in over a decade.
I have used mechanical keyboard for a long time, and I think they're great. But I think it's weird to have a community centered around them.
That price is reasonable according to https://classiccars.com. I’m not looking for something extraordinary.
It’s worth noting nobody found his data worth publishing. So we have to take his word for it. And surprise, the blog is full of right-wing propaganda. So of course HN signal-boosts it.

Color me skeptical.
Wish there were analog-esque(input only) electric 2 & 4 wheelers, which would be repair friendly. As opposed to S/N paired components and digital touch points like screens, which act as single points of failure.
That's a backwards-looking indicator; the changes to admissions criteria under discussion now will have their effect upon businesses of the future.
You forgot the word "millions" (really). Changes things a bit.
Title should include (2015) - the linked article shows that the word 'hypertext' was introduced in 1965, not 1971.
> You can stop a junkie from shooting up by imprisoning them, or better yet, putting them through drug rehab.

Those responses have been tried for many years, with very poor results. Also, it's not clear that there is anything criminal about the vice of drugs, and thus taking away their freedom would be highly unjust. We take away people's freedom for bad behavior or because other people are uncomfortable.

Based on the little I know, what does help people is giving them access to social services. I think several American cities are pioneering bringing the services to the person - when authorities are called, they don't send police or only police, but people who can connect the person to various agencies.

Apparently this approach results in a much higher rate of service use (which makes sense commercially - if someone had to wait in long lines and fill out dozens of forms, and then face long delays for service, you wouldn't have many customers. If someone showed up, when need the service, and offered it on the spot, you'd sell a few more). And those people gain more stable lives and are able to better care for themselves.

We can see plenty of wealthy professionals turn to damaging behavior under great stress. Imagine how they would do if added to that stress is having no roof or reliable food, the loss of safety, the loss of any credibility - even enough to get basic jobs, the harassment, etc. But then them: 'We'll take care of the shelter, food, etc., and here are classes to help cope with your other problems without using drugs', and I can imagine they would have a much better chance.
This is true, but only partly. Say, copious killings did not help the Big Jump in China, or the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, to achieve any impressive breakthroughs.
Soviets tried that approach with their Moon robotic landing. I mean landings. The heads of that effort were mostly military generals from artillery, who used to test by firing it.

After a few unsuccessful launches (sometimes at the very late stages during moon landing, and sometimes fully capable drone got just blown up on launchpad), they realized they need to change the strategy and test rigorously on land every small piece.
I don't think the film hid the sadistic side of Beria or his being a sexual predator. But maybe it was not so clear cut to all viewers as it was also a dark comedy with true gallows humor.
A possible improvement for this is to only publish the vote totals for measures that pass, not for measures that fail. Then if a measure the lobbyists wanted fails, they have no idea who to blame, but the public always knows who was responsible for a change to the law.

This could be further improved by displaying the live vote total during the vote and allowing anyone to change their vote until no votes have changed for at least 60 seconds. That way anyone can see if a measure would pass even without their vote and then change from no to yes if they don't want lobbyists to see that they would have been against it.

You want to use hex whenever byte aligned data is going to be compressed. Base64 quadruples byte level symbols
"faculty could find no alternative exam that would avoid the biased results"

They are too weak to say "SAT hasn't produced the results we wanted, so we're going to..."

"seek more equitable ways to assess a student"

They're again, too weak to say "from now on, admissions will be based on color".

"the state exam ... would disproportionately favor Asian Americans"

Oh, the horror, tests show that Asians are smart. Can't let that happen.

If a square peg doesn't fit a round hole, we just need to use a bigger hammer.
This resembles ascending a rope using prusiks, which is a lot of fun if you haven't tried it. Great to see a variation the helps people with limited mobility to get around unassisted.
A former landlord and friend lived in Aspen when Thompson would ride around on his harly, with a beer in his hand. My friend explained, this was quite impressive, your hands have a lot to do on a motorcycle, throttle, breaks, clutch and steering. Thompson would type The Great Gatsby, (and possibly other stuff) as finger exercises, to really get in the flow of writing. I believe (but don't know) he also worked at writing every day. He had strong feelings about professionalism and his trade.

I dunno, I imagine someone could strip away Raoul Duke from the stories Thompson told, but I'd imagine those spaces would get filled in by Thompson's on weirdness (or unusualness) in a different, but no less interesting way.
Maybe I’m stuck with the curse of knowledge, but I just can’t imagine the mindset of having to blindly and blatantly lie to the public and the press.

It must be out of fear of retaliation if the power structure is offended, but I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around it.

Really? Then you must not know much about manufacturing and how it scales.

If you want a widget it will be made on a general purpose machine with skilled labor. If you a dozen some simple jigs will made, the jig costs as much as a widget(ofte more ), but lowers the effort to make more. By the time you get into the tens of millions it is worth making custom machines for each step.
1. Ignore toxic positively

2. Not everything is as it appears on the surface. You don't know what advantages people had, and challenges they had to overcome. You don't know how they felt, and perhaps at some point they felt like you

3. Everyone will eventually wither and die. Failure and decline are the norm and they are a shared universal human experiences, everyone before you is dead and forgotten. Everyone around you will eventually fail, give up and decline. There is no escape from this, the question is when, that is the fact of the human condition, the absurdity of life

4. Watch your own plate, only compare to improve. Comparing to others without value is an act of self harm, it does nothing but lower your self-esteem

5. Speaking of low self-esteem, make sure have enough Serotonin. Exercise, sun light exposure, do a little ego boosting so you can tackle something

6. Do something you like, get good at, then better at it, then great

7. By posting and sharing this, it told me than you're self reflective, have a solid realistic grasp of your situation, and wanting to improve. I can assure you that you are way better than you think you are

Good luck buddy.
This is where Knative shines, specially with Google's Cloud Run and Cloud Run with Anthos. The billing is also not at an invocation level rather than a cumulative runtime where each container can define a level of concurrency according to your needs instead of having to spin up individual functions every time.
If you're already looking at the website, why not just click "dispute" on the bad charge?
Former Dish user here. I love streaming.

We watch what we want to watch, when we want to watch it. We pay a fraction of what we paid Dish and have a constantly updating list of great content.

My family likes older tv series, too. Streaming is advantageous in almost every way.
“ There are specific tasks that see a significant difference. If you’re editing ProRes video or working with Apple’s Metal graphics API, there is a clear benefit to the more powerful chip. But that isn’t the case for many creative tasks…”

I mean…yeah..that’s sort of how these things are supposed to work, right?

I get that a lot of consumers aren’t experts and rely on the marketing. So when they buy the most expensive laptop that Apple will sell then they expect it to be considerably “better” than the next rung down the ladder. I guess I just don’t blame Apple for that like I should?

Maybe the marketing materials could be more clear and lay out the exact cases where it would be better. But I just don’t think most people would read it.
Yeah, imagine being a billionaire and being afraid to speak out because you would lose millions…
I understand the case for Base91, but why hex over Base64? Base64 for readability and sticking to multiples of two, Base91 for maximum efficiency with readable ASCII.
Yann Collet developed Zstandard first, on his own, then Facebook hired him and Zstandard went along with him.
I don't understand why serialization formats that separate structure and content aren't more popular.

Imagine a system every message is a UID or DID (https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/) followed by raw binary data. The UID completely describes the shape of the rest of the message. You can also transmit messages to define new UIDs: these messages' UID is a shared global UID that everyone knows about.

Once a client learns a UID, messages are about as compact as possible. And the data defining UIDs can be much more descriptive than e.g. property names in JSON. You can send documentation and other excess data when defining the UID, because you don't have to worry about size, because you're only sending the UID once. And UIDs can reference other UIDs to reduce duplication.
Do you really think that doctors don't keep up on education? All doctors are required to do continuing education every year to keep up to date on the latest advances. Most I know go to national conferences to learn more about their speciality. Then you have the portion of doctors that conduct research and actively advance medicine. Most doctors I know (anecdotal, I know) are constantly striving to do more, to learn more because they care. Doctors know how much responsibility they have to help people and even save lives.
Try to find some new hobby, something you haven't tried before. From swimming in the open water to dancing, from singing in a choir to learning ancient Sumerian, from playing nards to writing music, from drawing portraits on the streets to gardening, from participating into community charity work to religious devotion, etc. The list is endless, and high chances that if you find something you really enjoy doing, you wouldn't even think about the need to be great in it. You will dive into this new purpose just because you like it.
I wonder if there any zoning rules in many parts of the world that prevent adoption of this. Also what would it end up costing (has to be less than an elevator). But I love the idea that it is a super simple solution to those with disabilities and looks like an easy install.
Loading, looking, lösching. It's all so forgettable. Like toilet paper.
I will occasionally drink while working on personal coding projects. I experience a kind of "Ballmer Peak" [1] at a certain point - I think what happens is my inhibition is lowered enough that I stop double-guessing myself too much. Eventually though I begin to lose track of what I am doing, but it can still be fun to look over my work and maybe make a few notes. I wouldn't drink and work if it was something professional or important, though, because it's too likely I'll make a mistake somewhere.

I've heard a UK story (from 19 century I believe), when someone gave a talk about government role in economy, and as example said that if not government, no one would have built lighthouses.

Someone checked that argument, and found out that out of thousands British lighthouses, not a single one was built by government. They all were built by various associations of mariners or traders.
QEMU is a full system emulator, Box64 emulates the app but tries to use native versions of libraries. This is the approach Microsoft and Apple use for running x86-64 code on ARM64 as it is more performant than full system emulation and it allows apps to run in a more integrated way.
you didn't address my points. If the game is open, I don't need an NFT, I just need a scoresheet to take my dnd characters everywhere, there's no need to cryptographically own it. In fact that's what I've been doing with RP characters for ages. I already have a database, it's a Google Doc and on my drive. Simple note-taking doesn't require distributed storage.

And no other developer can pick up games that are proprietary because the NFT doesn't confer ownership over the games assets or grant you access to the code.
Continued Covid battles until it eventually becomes something like the flu.

In American politics, the pendulum swings back the other way and 'red' politicians defeat 'blue' politicians.

Inflation continues. Interest rates rise.

The Great Resignation continues until cash reserves are dried up and rising prices mandate people have a source of income. At that point, jobs become a little harder to get. Generally tough economic times.

Containerization continues to dominate IT headlines. This results in a fertile job market for IT practitioners.

I'd encourage anyone who has read or watched Fear and Loathing to go and read Thompson's earlier work Hell's Angels. It's a great look into the beginnings of the outlaw club, and is written in what feels like the beginnings of his gonzo style, albeit more reporter than Duke. It's like watching Thompson get a taste for the first time of the outlandish and exaggerated. A fantastic book.

If the order submission process depends on the manual press on the enter key (+/- 50ms) is there any point to that though?

I built a split keyboard recently (Sofle) and it's made a huge positive impact for me. Having halves at shoulder width and full control over the layout with QMK is great, and it finally got me to learn to touch type. If you're considering a Moonlander or Ergodox, and you're handy with an iron, look into building one first.

It generally works out cheaper than prebuilt, but I did end up nickel and diming myself making arbitrary improvements. A good read if don't you want to get sucked into the ridiculous prices of custom keyboards like I did: https://golem.hu/guide/budget-builds/
Whenever I hear things like this I’m surprised there’s no set of reference videos & reference decoded frames. Like: “this video file should decode into this uncompressed video. This video file should decode into this other uncompressed video” - etc, with a large combinations of encoder features. Like a video equivalent of the commonmark test suite[1]

I was playing with email parsers a couple of years ago and I still don’t know if my cobbled together email parser works correctly with all emails. 40 years after RFC822 it seems there’s still no standard, reference set of email message test cases to process to verify an email parser is correct & robust.

This was how i quit smoking. It's great advice, with the caveat that (a) it's only suitable for some people - although as someone with an addictive personality I found it actually easier to get "addicted" to running than most other people I know, and (b) I think the best strategy is to pick up running first, without trying to quit other bad habits, and worry about quitting once the running habit is established. I started running while smoking (for 15 years), and about six months in to running realized smoking wasn't working for me and got motivated to quit. It was still unbelievably hard, but I had an established running habit that helped keep me on the wagon. As I say, it's not for everyone, but worth considering.

The only really useful numbers are in the table of fatalities per million miles travelled. We see a big win as airbags were rolled out, but no big win since driver assistance technologies were introduced.

I’m not sure what conclusion you’re deriving from that, but the data seems to support the counter argument that these technologies are of dubious value.

Am I misunderstanding something?
In defense of the site, the mechanical keyboard hobby consists of a lot of buying things. New keyboards, new keycaps, new artisans, new cases, new cords, new switches... I'm probably missing a few of the other things people buy. So it would make sense that a blog related to it would be giving advice on what to consider when you're next shopping for something keyboard-related.

Not in defense of it, the site does seem to be the typical blog model of review and drop an affiliate link.

Kathy Lauder on the NASA side. But old aerospace made sure she got what was coming to her for the HLS contract.
This isn’t really helpful, I know, but Remitly is a real company and I’ve met someone who worked there — it sounded pretty legit. But like with Western Union, pretty much anything that lets you transfer money internationally is prone to misuse. It sounds really stressful what your family us going through and I hope they get their money back.
This seems a like a classic SF perspective. You can enjoy the present without always needing to "build" something for the future. I very much enjoy the time with my close friends talking about whatever - philosophy, men and women, programming, productivity, art. No building required!

Egress is free as long as it is "reasonable", meaning that you don't send out more than you store each month (or whatever other definition of reasonable Wasabi decides). So you can't use it to host a busy web site for example, or to create a download site. Not sure how they handle "unreasonable" egress. I've been told they cancel the account, but maybe they just add egress charges to the account.

Also, there is a $5.99/mo minimum charge as long as your account is open that covers up to 1TB of storage.
This is super interesting. I absolutely love AHK, too. But can you please clarify how you achieve, "caps is esc if used alone, control if used with another key"? Is it based on whether the key is still down (pressed) vs. up (released)?

Tesla’s reliability and quality problems have been discussed in numerous forums, not just CR.

It’s possible that Tesla cars are actually top quality and reliable, and the company is the victim of a conspiracy with Consumer Reports paying a part to tear Tesla down. It’s also possible that Elon Musk can’t walk on water and starting up a car business from scratch is harder than it looks.
