I used invidious for a few weeks. Actually getting the videos once I connected was fine, the issue was that invidious instances were constantly going down and I had to keep searching for a new working instance.

I also use libreddit and teddit and almost never have a problem with those. Are there any equivalent invidious servers?
There are lots of things C++ can do where Rust can't (ex. templates in C++ are much more powerful than Rust's generics as of now), and lots of things Rust can do where C++ can't (ex. handling memory ownership in a much more secure way, hygienic and procedural macros). You might still want to use C++ for any sort of complex programming involving numerical computation and graphics (Rust is getting there but is still a bit weak in some aspects), but for any mission-critical service related to the Web you would be more inclined to choose Rust (because of async support, and since C++ is horribly insecure for any sort of web programming).
But the thing is, there _isn't_ always something. Again, this is anecdata, but I am running Pop!_OS on a XPS 13 9370, and exactly zero things have gone wrong. Everything worked out of the box.

Suspend is a battery sucker, but surprise surprise, this also happens on Windows because of s2idle shenanigans.
Congratulations, I love css tricks. Your articles helped me out a ton.
It's one thing to have a diagram in your head, quite another to transmit that diagram to someone else's head -- or even to your own a month from now. That's where writing things down helps.
I use an iPhone too, but aren't all iOS browsers using the Safari engine in the background, even if the front end is branded as Firefox/Edge/whatever?
Ask HN: How do I Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck?
I've started my journey as a self-taught web developer in 2008, I moved to New York City in 2012 and started working for marketing agency as a web developer with a pay of $15 per hour, which has the lowest for the position.

I managed to grow to Tech Director at the same company and my current salary is $110k per year, and yes, I'm still working from paycheck-to-paycheck.

How can I get out of the swamp?

P.S. I also need to mention that I do keep track of my budget. I have 3 kids (two of them are school-aged and one preschooler). And I have a monthly mortgage $2600.

Net Monthly Salary - $7000
- Mortgage $2600
- Electricity, gas, water $400
- Other bills (internet, phone, credit) $600
- Food $1200
- Child-care $1200
- Car expenses $600
- Shopping ~ $400

RMS's dislike of Common Lisp really caused a colossal amount of damage. Imagine an Emacs written in Common Lisp instead of Emacs Lisp, with decades and decades of improvements. Having written a reasonable amount of software in both, Common Lisp Emacs would be very, very preferable, in part for the reasons you list and in part for others (e.g. a full-fledged, built in object system and improved extensibility).
There are many gasoline vehicles that specify no fluid changes for certain parts, infamously, transmissions. Longer lasting synthetic fluids allow them to advertise lower maintenance costs, but they still do wear out. They’d rather the transmission wears out after 150k miles anyway.

Who's to say they haven't been doing exactly that for years? That would answer a whole lot of unresolved questions.
I think that OP is referencing new taxes for existing schools. This happened a lot in my area, where schools that were built in the 60's and 70's get major renovations often including new athletic facilities. One common large expense is a 'field house' which is like a large enclosed field. When I was in high school, there were only a few such 'field houses' with indoor tracks for winter track season. Now I can't think of a local high school without such a facility. FWIW I fully support such expenditure, field houses seem to benefit a wide array of groups within a school and make certain activities possible (e.g., indoor track and field) that aren't otherwise. But I live in the north where our high school football fields look like high school football fields, not stadiums like I believe exist at many high schools in the south. [1] I would not support a high school building a large football stadium.

Hahaha you said "lsd gas". Awesome! Heh, I wish :) Never tried the LSD. Would love to. Never came across it. Hook a brother up? ;p xxx ;)

edit: re-thinking this after reading the sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30685186): I very well may be! hahaha
It's definitely one of the more unsettling titles I've read recently, but this quote makes it a little less dystopian:

"The CWT-TP process is designed to handle almost any imaginable waste, including turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged sediment, old computers, municipal sewage sludge, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, and oil-refinery residues".

As a complete layman, it seems to me like a really neat way to handle waste and oil dependence in one go. I'm sure there's lots of reasons why it wouldn't be practical though.
The war won't be won on the battlefield, it will be won by all the multinationals leaving the country. For the best context, look up Russians on social media and see what is going on inside.

I've never been in favour of multinationals and subscription based services, but it seems these are what really are making the change now. Software like AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc etc, all stopped working in the last 48h.

Russians begin to wonder why the whole world is against them. NAVO Sanctions alone couldn't do that. The Russian media jokes that they don't need western companies suddenly all stopped.

It's like COVID. Russians only joked COVID won't reach them because vodka, but when the first case hit Moscow, all the jokes stopped.

Same happening now. Companies leaving Russia seemed to hit hard on the people.
Seems like an anti-trust lawsuit just waiting to happen if they do.
An excellent hypothesis. Thank you! What's the on-the-sly delivery mechanism in that case do you think?
Camo netting support seems like a probable explanation. This video makes it look like the US does something similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kY4Xygh9DQ
Well, yes, but a cage with thin bars spaced far apart is perhaps part of the problem. And the cages seem to be appearing now.
Ah, good that you re-posted it; your [0] is too old to respond to. Here, let me fix that for you:

PUTIN: These guys were on a holiday there (but actually conducting a war of aggression).

THE WORLD: Gasps in righteous indignation.

UK: These guys were on a holiday there (but actually defending against a war of aggression).

THE WORLD: Claps at the brave defenders.

Or as the saying goes, "Don't sell me a turd in a bun as a hot dog, I ain't buying it".

There, fixed that for you.

(OK, except for the "saying"; I just made that up. But, something along those lines. As is, it seems to fit both Putler's blatant immoral lies, the West's equally blatant but morally defensible ones, and your whataboutish equivalizing of the two.)
I wonder how much of imposter syndrome is driven by environmental factors. I work in an environment that's on the bleeding edge of software, hardware, and physics and hardly anyone actually knows everything in their subject area off hand, but "I can ask someone else, or do some reading and get back to you" is not an uncommon phrase here. There's a huge difference between not being able to understand something (via referencing external sources) and being able to answer an arbitrary question about it from memory.
This is improvised slat armor[0]. It is intended as defense against projectiles that use shaped charges[1] which are most effective when detonated at a designed distance from the target. The slat armor is meant to detonate them at a larger than optimal distance.

It is not expected to defend against all weapons, rather it's part of defense in depth. Whether it's effective against shaped charge projectiles will largely depend on the construction and spacing of the slats. To dismiss it outright displays a pretty shocking level of ignorance or agenda on the part of TFA.

Edited to add:

I read T-entire-FA via the archive link up-thread. There is meaningful discussion of slat armor in it. I remain convinced that there's room in the taster portion of the article to suggest that the improvised armor isn't a purely ignorant addition to the tanks. I would further suspect that hinting at substantive analysis below the fold stands to sell more subscriptions to The Economist than what they've included, which is, at best, one-sided.

The British army actually dosed soldiers with LSD to see how they'd perform in drills. Needless to say the result was hilarious (climbing trees to feed the birds, incapable of reading maps) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziqpwkhqTRs

Not sure if I'd trust people tripping around ballistic missiles though. These guys have been living in rough conditions, underfed and sleep deprived ... not the best "setting".
Because Android will make you pick a default browser, you switched to iOS where you weren't even allowed to change the default browser (depending on when it was you switched), and even now every browser is actually Safari so users think there is diversity but there isn't really.

Ok.

I mean, I acknowledge that sort of thinking is common, but it's makes no sense to me.

It's funny but I have the same problem with digital music composition. Sure I can noodle on a physical musical instrument, and I can imagine elaborate compositions very easily, but the cognitive overhead of using pretty much any software, let alone the disjointed mess of open source music software available on Linux, completely takes me out of the headspace required to effectively compose.

I know some people manage to do it, in the same way that some people manage to write complex software that uses many libraries in C++. Are they just smarter than me? Or have they simply {discovered, bought, created} a superior toolchain?
racket:nx is the one VR game that everyone like.

Some games easily trigger VR sickness, other can be scary for the (younger) player for various reasons (fear of height, monster, etc.) not this one.

Racketnx is basically the vr version of arcanoid.

The strong point of the game is that the learning curve is extremely low. Almost anyone can pick the remote, put on the helmet and start hitting the ball.

Someone mentionned there is no feedback. There is very natural and well done haptic feedback. Speed of the swing matter in game. That is of course tracked in game (has to be).

> That’s actually a good point and Bitcoin/crypto solves this.

For now. Governments are catching on, and since the transactions are public, they can (and are putting the building blocks in place now) easily apply the same regulations to international bitcoin transactions as they do traditional money transfers.

Basically, folks today are taking advantage of a blind spot in government oversight. They're aware of it and are removing that blind spot.

I heard an analogy at one point - governments are elephants. It's usually pretty easy to avoid being stomped on when you're small. But if you do get stomped on, you'll be utterly destroyed. Many governments have no problems with making examples of people.
Pretty incredible how well our eyes can move between these completely different scales of brightness like its nothing.
There is a lot of clownery:

- They destroyed their own secret comms system by accident, used civilian phones and general was killed based on the geolocation from the call. Amount of high rank leadershipo KIA would be embarassing even if they fought on-paper much stronger opponent than Ukraine opponent. Even visually confirmed losses from satellite imagery or 1/3 of reported losses by Ukraine is very embarrassing.

- With the advantage in air they have not being able to establish air superiority is a clownery of it's own. Photos of planes with civilian GPS taped in. Stingers shouldn't be so effective against planes.

- Many photos of Russian soldiers (even photos released by Russians) with cheap walkie takies from aliexpress that are easily jammed

- Lots of photos of expensive equipment that got abandoned without standard procedure of sabotaging it

- Supposedly elite units (especially VDV) getting massacred by barely trained territorial groups

There are good reasons for clownery: Massive corruption. Nepotism. Army is intentionally crippled to not present threat to Putin. They never fought a real war. Nukes, submarines and navy are a huge resource drain. They didn't prepare for what happened. Outdated doctrine not adapted to modern war.
From a search of top views of T-90s it looks like they do have some panels of reactive armour on top of the turret - but there are a lot of areas (sensors, hatches) that don't seem to be covered.
Only for javascript - you can have your own html engine, but you have to use the sarari javascript engine. Technically you can have your own javascript engine, but your performance will be bad enough that we can ignore this.
That is still strange ; as you can read from others, docker refreshes it’s own iptable rules which then can mess with your own. Maybe you were lucky but seems unlikely to have that much luck. Be careful anyway; if you opened a port, it’ll be on 0.0.0.0 and docker does rearrange your iptables when the container(s) start. Especially default redis and mongo are good foot-shooters.
If they hit the bars, yes (similar to the slat armour discussed in the article). But if they hit the wire they’ll probably bounce off. And most of the surface area is wire.
Or you hit something else, like a building, tree or very unfortunately located aircraft ;)
This is pretty much all tanks, as I understand it. Tanks have very limited situational awareness for obvious reasons, and similarly limited means to engage nearby threats.
It was an off-the-shelf jailbreak solution, and I sprinkled it in over 100 places in the code. I read people on jailbreak forums expressing frustration that my app was "too hard to crack and not worth it." Success!

But once it backfired and affected a single paying customer, I decided to change my course.
I mean yeah, I wish the government were a lot more frugal with my money in general. but I don't mind as much when the money is spent on things that directly keep people fed, off the streets, and possibly learning some useful skills to contribute back.
Ask HN: Is there a pure SMS based UI?
I’m traveling to an area of the world where the only communication medium I will have available to me is unlimited 140 character text messages. I’m wondering if it is possible to set up a computer that will allow me to fully interact with it via SMS. I’d like to be able to do things like check the news, read and reply to my emails, check on the status of my home and other servers. What is the state of the art in SMS based human computer interaction?
John Oliver already settled this in 2015. After watching it, it's pretty clear that cities should not pay for stadiums.

I also expect the purpose is to act as spaced armor. Though I don't know how much spaced armor helps against things like Javelin missiles, but anything to slightly change the angle of the projectile should help increase effective armor thickness.
Sure, but you can have an argument about how taxes are distributed, that's what democracy is about. The ROI on investing on education is arguably better than the ROI of spending it on a stadium. And more people need to understand that the benefit of stadiums and sports teams is mostly about subsidizing billionaire sports teams owners.

China trades directly with other countries than the U.S. today. They account for about 15% of global trade but the yuan is about 2% of the currency market. That, for context, is still the fifth highest currency.

The reason people use USD (and the EUR) for global trade is liberal currency controls and long term economic stability. Perhaps China is approaching the latter but for the former the status quo of the yuan is on par with the current sanction regime of the USD and the EUR. Except that it exists for every trading partner and every transaction taking place in the yuan.

The yuan is growing in importance naturally but before it becomes a global currency it has to be liberalized and no one knows what happens then. The CCP is pretty skeptical of liberalization and is going the opposite direction currently.
Ah, I see, oh so funny. haha. /s
One of the principles Evans is leveraging here but not really explicitly talking about is the power of time coupled with compounding growth. She's been working at this stuff for a decade now and continually building and learning. She's also been writing about what she learns which probably helps a great deal.

It might just be a case of Baader-Meinhof, but this is a theme that seems to be coming up more and more. James Clear's Atomic Habits book is built on the idea and Cal Newport (Deep Work) has been writing about it[1] under the name of slow productivity.

I think many of us would be better off if we took a longer term view of ourselves.

I don't know the show, but I believe it's set in the US, and the last American tank I know of with a belly hatch was the M60 that left frontline service a few years after I was born. Abrams don't have them, and after recent decades' experiences with IEDs and development of hull designs to reduce or defeat their effects, I suspect it'll likely be a while before they turn up again.
Not true that there is any sort of official rule to this effect. I've slept in a lot of crew hotels that had only semi-decent curtains.

It is true that well-behaved airlines, who take an active interest in fatigue prevention, do try to book hotel rooms with blackout curtains and good sound proofing. This is however not a universal behaviour and not all destinations where layover is necessary have any hotels with these qualities.
That reminds me of a few years ago when a director gave a presentation to the whole organization about innovation. Near the end of the presentation, he summarized that everyone needed to share ideas. Then he anticipated a few questions.

If we a good idea, would we be able to work on it? Probably not, the "innovation team", which was his team, would be the ones to build the prototype.

If we had a successful good idea, would we receive any compensation? No, and that's very selfish. He insinuated that we should rethink priorities or place of work if compensation was important.

He also talked about how he only wanted ideas that had the potential to make billions.

I'd love a Rust job but there are even fewer around than golang and much less than C++. Any suggestions for a newbie?
Did you read TFA? It talks about all of that.
It’s all about the money. American cities make money on sports teams, so would rather have them than not. It isn’t a social benefit but an economic one consisting of tax revenue and knock on effects for businesses around the stadium. They aren’t throwing money away on a stadium, they are investing $100 million now to make $30 million more a year in tax revenue for 10 years.

But what I really want to know is who pays $200 for a sports ticket and $20 for a beer? There is money to be made hand over fist, but I just don’t understand why that is true at all. I’d rather not have these sports teams either if only for the traffic they generate on game days. But if you want to blame someone, blame the customers for this stuff, not the local government that is just giving them what they want.

Also, Tokyo is a really bad example of you are failing against prestige boondoggles. How many sky trees and Tokyo towers does the world really need?
That makes sense and aligns with my own experience with Digital Ocean content. I've often found it to be very easy to read while remaining technical.
I think if I was in a tank I'd be most worried about a molotov cocktail going into an open hatch.
