Just like a good salad, a pizza has 6 things: salt, crunch, fat (cheese), acid (tomatoes), sweet (pineapple/mango/fig or a stewed sweet tomato sauce) and umami (Parmigiano Reggiano/Grana Padano/etc or anchovy). But not all 6 in every bite.

Most Americans use a fairly sweet pizza sauce. Adding pineapple to that makes it too sweet. But I like my sauce with more tomato acid, so a little bit of fig or pineapple complements the flavours. The nice thing about pineapple is that you don't get it in every bite like you do with a sweet sauce.

Edit: and now I sound like the pizza snob. :) It should be 7 -- good pizza has both crisp and chew.

How much funding can they realistic provide for those priorities?
State grants from Horizon Europe projects or similar could be an alternative source for funding, probably with better recurring probabilities but it would require a champion to lead through the burocracy and in the end it's a coin toss (or lower) to get approved.

I had a dream a year ago in which I was traveling at very high speed towards an edge of our universe. In the dream I entered a null space before entering the next universe in which all star systems obeyed solid state physics type laws: stars formed an outer lattice and planets in small lattices around stars.

After traveling through the second universe in my dream, I then entered a third universe that was more compact because space was curving back onto itself in a way that was not understandable but I kept looping back to where I was before. When I woke up I thought I was dreaming of a very high dimensional space where everything was happening in lower dimensional manifolds curving through that space where “all the action was.”

Definitely one of my better dreams!

I don't really understand the point you are making here. Peaker plants do not get paid in the Texas grid for standing by idle. They only get paid for supplying power.
We all know that humans naturally gravitate towards the path of least resistance, especially children because they have not built up the wisdom to recognize such patterns in themselves, how can such a school system prevent unmotivated children from essentially playing video games all day on their phone?

There are certainly tradeoffs, which is why I said I’d like the option.

Since I’m moderately familiar with the other language, I really just need the translation for words I don’t understand or mis-hear.

There is such a thing as a real-time translation. I’ve heard it in news broadcasts when a politician speaks a foreign language. It also happens all the time at the UN and other international negotiations. It works well but has downsides such as occasional latency while the translator needs to hear a few more words before they can translate.
Politicians. It's one thing to issue bonds to pay for much needed infrastructure at the time. It's quite another thing to issue bonds to pay the interest on existing bonds. Our governments have kicked the can since the 80s. If you issue a 20 or 30 year bond you are saying I'm not paying for this, but kids born today are definitely good for it.

Not all debt is bad but our government is using it poorly. A 30 year bond on a bridge with 60 year lifespan is good debt. A 30 year bond on 2 expensive, 20 year wars with no positive objective is bad debt.
While that person may genuinely feel guilty about her wealth, I have a feeling the majority of millionaires and heiresses aren't guilt-ridden about it.

I bought a PinePhone hoping to be able to start using it and developing on it. But until it can reliably make it through the day, stay connected to the network, and not miss calls and texts, I have to use my android phone and I don't have two sim cards, so I can't really use it and develop on it.

I'm a electrical hardware design engineer.

I agree, that if Pine64 has enough money to fund a full time engineer, that's a much better use than giving any money to the distros. They should be funding an embedded specialist who should focus on board bring up, because clearly we're not out of that stage yet.

I've built lots of high-volume electronics hardware that is easily as complex as a cell-phone, and the order of development is very important. I'm in the middle of such development right now... Working on software and UI is a dead last on that priority list every time.

Stop fact checking sites, and social media becomes even worse than it is.

Use fact checkers, and you love with false positives and false negatives.

Then narratives form around those errors ( because we are pattern recognition machines, even when there are no patterns).

So what’s the out ?

All fact checking will create some amount of False pod/negative. No amount of money, time or resources can avoid that.
I am going to present a sane and rational counter-argument for completeness. I am personally undecided on some of these issues.

The counter argument would go something like this:

Structural racism and sexism are so deeply embedded in society that it's hopeless to try to eliminate these tendencies directly. Not only are these tendencies complex, systematic, and often unconscious, they are also difficult to impossible to measure. Outcome on the other hand is easy to measure.

If you start with the hypothesis that at least a large chunk of differences in outcome are a result of differences in opportunity (including hidden ones), then addressing outcome directly is the most effective way to try to combat bias. One way to do this is to eliminate societal systems and programs that seem to lead to outcomes (either positive or negative) that differ statistically from the baseline race and sex distribution in society.

The root of this debate seems to be biological determinism. The "right" (loosely defined) side of this debate argues that once overt racism and sexism are removed most of the remaining differences in ability and outcome that manifest are biologically innate. The "left" (again loosely defined) argues that this is at best unproven and point to the reported subjective experiences of women and minorities in which they report continuous low-grade racism and sexism that remains even after racism and sexism of the overt codified variety are removed.
I had my first sensory deprivation tank experience about a month ago and I gotta wonder what kind of drugs you all are doing before hand to have these experiences you're describing.

I had heard a lot of stories and I was looking forward to seeing something. All I saw was the same shit I've ever seen behind my eyelids when laying down in bed at night: random retinal ghosting. I didn't feel anything. There wasn't anything special about it. It was exactly the sum of all the parts: like taking a warm bath and having some peace and quiet for a change.

It was nice, but not in any way approaching anything that could be life changing. Go sit in a hot tub with ear plugs and a sleep mask and you're 99% there at a fraction of the cost and without the bullshit "healing crystals" upsell.

Or maybe that's the problem. Maybe y'all got some serious problems of being way too high-strung in your daily life.

Most art - at least of modern vintages anyway - are mainly a venue for money laundering anyway. Think of all the ways you can really go to town with that in the digital space!

Ironically just don't use Crypto or eventually you will get exposed. I love it when people think Crypto and the blockchain will keep them anonymous - when every transaction is out there in the public and there are only a fixed number of points where you can convert your crypto into something useful like cash. Are they really dark patterns if all transactions are out there, in the open and fully visable?
Depends how you generate the electricity that powers the heaters. If it's coming from fossil fuels (as most of it does), it's obviously inefficient: you're burning fuel to generate heat, then using the heat to generate electricity, then using electricity to generate heat again. Far simpler to just burn the fossil fuel for heat directly.

Hey HN,

I'm building a tool to render Stripe-like API docs from OpenAPI/Swagger files.

I thought that the best way to get people to discover my tool and be useful at the same time is to build docs for various open APIs.
(Let me know if you need API docs for your open, or even better, an open source API, and I'll make it happen!).

How it works:

- The OpenAPI/Swagger is stored on S3 and rendered on the server-side using NextJs (on Vercel).

- I use NextJs's incremental static rendering (ISR) to render the doc in the background.

- NextJs's middleware (a new thing in NextJs 12) routes the request to an appropriate route based on the subdomain.

- I'm looking to make the docs generator an open source in the future, when I build out the editing feature which will be paid.

Any feedback/thoughts highly appreciated!

You want redundancy in the system, you have to pay the piper. What is the point for me to run a redundant but operationally more expensive system than my competition - when at the time my redundant infra is the only option, I do not get to cash out.

You can see as whatever way you want, but Price is signal and it is better overall for the system to let Price to spike to certain insane levels. Should there be some kind of common-sense regulation for curtailing bad behavior perhaps.

If you need people or companies to build in redundancy - you have to pay the price or just run the efficient but fragile system and enjoy the black outs.
The HN title is literally the title of the post (if you had taken the 2s to actually open the link), since Arm was the one to release the board, and just because RISC-V specifications, models, implementations, etc., exist, doesn't mean that Arm wasn't involved...
Great suggestion. I’ll add that.
(a) I think the article isn't asking them to provide more funding, but to consider re-allocating what they already do.

(b) I think even without actual funding, PinePhone can set the tone of priorities for the community. If they speak about this issue, people will at least listen.
Not to mention it prevents people trying to legitimately access these services from doing so by putting extra barriers in place, defeating the purpose of the assistance program in the first place.

It's a tricky balance to strike!

How would society prevent companies from producing mediocre content? I don't think society is a useful model here, that is why I asked about producers and consumers. As long as consumers keep consuming mediocre content then there will be producers for this type of content. People vote with their wallets so "society" is at fault and also we as consumers of quality content can't force people to not like mediocre content
IQ and conscientiousness are different dimensions, successful people usually have both but one can have a lot of one without much of the other.

>They deserve to be more popular, probably marketing & sales teams ain't good enough.

Man, I love OpenSUSE, with Tumbleweed being my go-to distro, but in general, German software companies, absolutely suck at successfully marketing/selling their stuff on he international stage, with SAP probably being the only notable exception.

They're good at capturing the conservative local corporate market, who usually prefers to "buy local" anyway, but they never seem to understand that the same German practices just don't work on the international tech stage that's more tuned to the Anglo-sphere way, especially in the consumer space.

As a counter example, Dutch and Scandinavian tech companies seem to be way better at competing in the international race and gaining international adoption, than German tech companies.

Maybe it would help if they would be less conservative and more open minded to new things, like the Scandinavians, but seeing as living in Germany still involves sending letters and faxes to open/close contracts, using cash, while fast, cheap fiber internet is still a pipe-dream, I doubt things are changing too soon over there to make Germany a software juggernaut.

At least they make solid luxury cars that don't immediately fall apart. :)

I think we agree on many things, but your comment makes me feel like you jumped from me being independent to assuming Cowboy Coding. You are assuming that because some enterprise systems are undocumented, that is what every enterprise coder does. The Agile Manifesto also is clear that putting one side above the other does not mean the other is not important.

FWIW, yes, I've taken over horrid undocumented systems... and figured them out, added documentation, and gotten them handed over into sustainable models. On the Agile side, I've been on startup teams that delivered amazing feature sets in a 3 week sprint, and did so sprint after sprint... but I've also been on teams who churned through sprints with nothing to show for it.

I don't think we can boil down a good vs. bad environment, or good vs. bad code, to SDLC processes or enterprise vs. startup. There are good teams, there are bad teams. And matching up the right environment and process to the right team can work wonders. But to be fair, most teams haven't found the right match.

7% is from 2020 to 2021. 28% is from 2010 to 2021.
The article quotes that 28% as being the amount of inflation "from 2010 until the middle of 2021". I haven't checked the figures, but that seems believable for a decade's worth of inflation.
But that doesn't detract the artistic merit of the submission.

Tough to say. I’m still using my 2016 SE, which received iOS 15 just a few months ago and updated to the latest release within the last couple of weeks, the same day as the iPhone 13. This phone cost $400. I highly doubt there are many phones out there that beat this “bang for the buck”.
Usually general business models are not protected as intellectual property in the same way as bit-for-bit copies in the case of mp3s/writings. I’m not saying it should be.

The bigger issue that you are pointing to is that the tech companies are becoming large trusts that do everything and can leverage their size to win everywhere. E.g. see Amazon competing with Intel now.

The anti-trust movement needs to be stronger if society says: ‘wait, this isn’t a good idea to let one company win at everything’

> How so?

You need to draw every letter in uppercase and lowercase, and every number and symbol. You need to make sure each character is visually consistent with and works well alongside every other character.

Then you need to repeat the above for every weight your font supports. (Bold, semibold, light, heavy, etc.)

Then you need to repeat all of the above for italics.

Then you need to kern the font. This means determining how much space to leave between every possible combination of two characters in your font.

---

> And people have been creating fonts for 500 years. What's the need to create more?

That's a bit like saying "People have been writing books for 500 years. What's the need to create more?"

We've only been displaying fonts on LCD screens for ~30 years, and fonts that were designed for print don't look as good on screen (and vise versa). Even fonts that were designed for low-res LCD screens often don't look as good on newer high-resolution ones.
I used to advocate for bulk subscriptions at every employer, but with the growth of cloud services and abstractions like Kubernetes I feel like I can't justify it any longer.

I can't help but think this trend will damage shared knowledge in the long run.
Thank you. I'll give them a look.
I get your point, but I think a true reckoning of capitalism is going to have to include a longer time frame. Specifically, our utter inability to adapt to climate change due to the demands of the market to be ever-growing is doing to have to be factored in, not to mention it's built-in wealth-concentrating tendencies.

It's hard to look at the trajectory of society and the world right now and expect the prosperity boom of capitalism to continue. A lot of people just don't see that boom at all. They're living objectively miserable lives under capitalism, and there's no capitalist incentive to change that.
