You’re right about the bakeries, if they were willing to do that they might as well start out with a filling machine, doesn’t have to cover all products at once :)

Actually I’ve seen this at one or two upscale supermarkets. They had a larger filling station for cereal, candy and other dry goods but it wasn’t the supermarket itself that sold those. Similar to an in-store “Unverpackt-Laden” (no packaging store).

In my opinion it would be more realistic to start out with dry goods to save emissions. The German bottling system is not so bad to begin with and could be improved later.
I've seen roles designed for specific people that have actually ended up filled by a better applicant.

If somebody better wants to come and teach for free, this is how they'll find them.

Pastebin Calls for Volunteer Independent Security Researchers
Yes, and given that you will work as a freelancer for just a single company long-term, you will have to pay into mandatory social insurances as you are "arbeitnehmerähnlich Beschäftigt" (Arbeitslosenversicherung, Rentenversicherung, Krankenversicherung). Also note that you will have to pay both parts of the social insurance contributions (employer- and eyployee part). Assuming you are above the "Beitragsbemessungsgrenze" (~85.000€/year income), this amounts easily to 2.000€/month in social contributions (some of those are partly tax-deductable and I advice to get a tax accountant).

If you want to avoid paying into the mandatory social insurance, you must meet certain criteria to be considered truly self-employed. One way to achieve this is to not make more than 5/6 of your yearly income through one customer.
Users is most likely going to be internal developers that would recommend to their product team that this is the most effective way to get a documentation page live. If they can't test it without fuss, they probably won't
Kudos to everyone involved.

I didn't realise there was a planet-spotting remit to JWST though. Looking forward to the results of that.
You realize you're linking me my own tweet, right?

[1] isn't cutting corners, it's just not optimizing a use case that didn't matter for iOS devices, and not realizing it to fix it when bringing that controller to Macs. I'm not saying the hardware/firmware is absolutely perfect. The part of the story about macOS defaulting to unsafe flushes is a software issue, not a hardware issue.

[2] is a macOS bug that was fixed a long time ago. It has nothing to do with hardware whatsoever. In fact, write endurance on Apple SSDs is at the high end of the market. macOS was just eating through it like butter due to a bug.
Holy victim-blaming, batman.

They're crashes, not accidents, for starters.

You can try to predict or anticipate people's actions and smugly think that you won't end up under the wheels of a truck because you're Mr. Pro Rider unlike those "certain subset of cyclists."

At the end of the day, drivers are exceptionally unpredictable, their vehicles can accelerate, stop, and turn far faster than a bicycle can, and there are plenty of actions of others that are impossible to avoid.

The problem is not that "certain subset" of cyclists aren't careful enough, it's that society has wildly different expectations from vulnerable road users compared to the people driving the dangerous machinery. Society expects someone on a bicycle headed to work to perfectly and expertly analyze everything in front of them and faultlessly predict the actions of others...while having no problem with a driver of a 4,000lb vehicle yakking on the phone while drinking a coffee and listening to the radio.
It was someone from 4chan's /g/. I don't have the link anymore but iirc there's a thread archive link floating around.
It's a damn shame Phil Ivey lost in court. He found a way to increase his odds of winning and got punished for it.

A bit nostalgic to see the crossed-over “js” replaced with “coffee”. Tells me it’s not a particularly new library.
The 16k page size might be temporary in this port, the HW does support 4k pages as well.

In an earlier post they said this about progress on the iommu hw limitation leading to start out with 16k page size: "Sven took on the challenge and now has a patch series that makes Linux’s IOMMU support layer play nicely with hardware that has an IOMMU page size larger than the kernel page size" (https://asahilinux.org/2021/10/progress-report-september-202...)
One small feedback on squareword: it'd be very nice to do some word pruning a la Wordle to exclude rarer words that the average person is unlikely to know (or have any exposure to), like today's first row, 4th column, and 5th column. IMO brute-forcing words until you get a word you've never even seen before isn't very fun.
Yeah well, that's what you want, and probably a decent couple of power users. And I totally agree.

But here is the thing:

My mom, dad and even my brother, they don't need that. They need the limitations aka borders, the "simplicity", the synchronisation and the search results. They still stick with Facebook, Google and Amazon because it's easy to use and their gate to the Internet, where all the smart people are living and the "future is real". They do not understand the drawbacks or they just don't care.

And I dare to assume that this pictures the vast majority of Internet users.
Related to his point on how mathematics can't fit into a list, but rather needs a graph representation - does anyone know if there are efforts to map out a large network of mathematics as a graph of dependencies? (Ideally as an acyclic directed graph so there's no instances of subjects being their own prerequisites but maybe that's illusory)

I never made a case for legality == morality. Also beware that morality isn't equally defined, what you find moral others will find amoral.

As for the pipe and helmet example. The laws and ways of upholding them are the metaphorical helmet that we put on to protect ourselves against pipe wielders.

The perpetrator will do what it wants to do, we can protect ourselves with laws, law enforcement, education or physical armour. Or do you expect the pipe wielder to stop because they were told what they are doing is bad or amoral?
Sounds like they are in the wrong field and should seek out a job in a factory or maybe driving a cab.
Who did pay those lawyers?
> so is battery life and the screen and touchpad are incredibly better than any Dell or Lenovo out there.

What? The touchpad I agree, but screen? For the Macbook Air (not pro)? That is still good, but definitely not better than the UHD+ screens you for instance get from Dell. And that is not even considering oled options.
Good thing there's more of a market than your mom, dad, and even your brother, or alternative search competitors like duckduckgo and others would be completely screwed.
Cool hack. Would it be possible to use a Python library instead of Imagemagick for the last two steps?

Nice reminder to stick with plain JS and not go for the latest "compiles to js" language.
As a german freelancer for >8years, I can confirm and highly recommend you stick to exactly this advice.

You will also have to check with the tax authority (Finanzamt) whether you can become a "Freiberufler" (all income taxed as personal income) or whether you need to register a business ("Gewerbetreibender"). Whether or not the Finanzamt accepts your status as a Freiberufler depends on different jurisdictions, there is no uniform decision making in place. Most will grant you the status if you have a university degree in Engineering (or Computer Science). If they decline it, I would recommend to create a limited liability company (GmbH, stay away from UG). In any case, get a tax accountant to assist with this.
> With crypto, I have to triple check the address I'm sending coins to because I can't undo it.

This not much of an issue in pure Mimblewimble based blockchains, where sender and receiver interact to construct a transaction, and the receiver essentially has to prove the ability to spend received funds before the transaction can happen.
I believe every developer needs to spend regular time in a customer-facing support role (if possible). They will learn much more clearly how difficult (or less likely easy) their product is to use.
I think 75-85% of the bikes I see around here (UK) still have rim brakes not discs. They're cheaper.
Also PA Semi's PowerPC chip[1]. Apple passed on doing the "in house CPU" with ingredients in hand, and instead took the painful ppc -> x86 transition.. which was possibly fortunate as the mobile product side was a better place to start growing their own silicon products.

Some time after MIPS shot itself in the head by killing MIPS Open, it's nice to have a reasonably well designed and well-supported open architecture and instruction set.

edit: apparently there are open versions of SPARC and POWER, so... maybe there's not a lot of value in RISC-V except that it's simpler than the other two, drops irritating legacy features (register windows, condition codes...) and is in general designed for modern implementation?
It very much depends on your individual circumstances.

For instance, a friend had problems with this because he made the same declaration, but after returning to Australia some years later, the ATO had issues with his declaration. He ended up having to do tax returns for the years he was away.

The ATO provides some examples for their rules.

That would not help. Those kind of effects are inherent in the system. As long as Visitsv lead to any kind of revenue, no matter if by Ad Impressions or Affiliate Programms or whatever, there exists a motivation and people will try to drag visitors to their sites. You will have to remove eCommerce from the Internet to fix that.
Fun, but somewhat obscure, fact is that Intel MDS systems (their "Big blue box" for developing software of their microprocessors) used 0x55 (ASCII 'U') to set the initial baud rate. When you turned them on they would read signal coming in on the console line, derive timing information from it and then set the baud rate and print out the greeting message.
Also: when ‘colors’ and ‘faker’ packages printed stuff in the output in an endless loop, NPM and Github banned the author and took over the packages.

When ‘node-ipc’ overwrote all files on disk, NPM just waited while the author himself published an amendment and posted that the package ‘only created a text file, no biggie’.
I hate work from home. Absolutely hate it. I'm willing to bet there will be an reports of an epidemic of suicides and/or depression from many people being isolated. Some of you have families or whatever and that works for you but lots of people do not.

Further, many people find enjoyment in socializing both at home and at work. Removing half of that socialization is also a problem for some. I know indie game collectives and they love their work and love doing at an office where they all collaborate. That feeling doesn't come from zoom.
I'm guessing a lot of those dangerous collisions involve cars though. Could be that they're the mode dangerous for humans?
This! I too appreciated that you could label them. I've been tempted to 3D print "cartridges" that hold a microSD for this exact reason. Hard to lose, easy to move around and label.
Japanese food bland?
I think people would be mostly fine with it if it were only "for a few days", but it's not.
On the other hand, there's a strong indicator that there is substantial non-independence: lots of cities down the West coast set a record at about the same time, about 33-35 days ago.

Also, what the visualisation doesn't show is the longest per-state time since a record. If they're all also on the order of a year, that's a strong signal that records are increasing. If that time varies randomly between now and decades ago, it's a sign the results are more random than trending.
What’s the story behind Kagi - are they somehow related to Google?

To my knowledge besides the old experiments with client side search, Google has never allowed (even paid) api access to their search. I thought they did not do this, because it would have allowed somebody to jump start a search engine that might eventually become a competitor.

Kagi seems to be open about their Google relationship, so I assume they have agreement in place.

This even feels like some experiment from Google to create a premium, paid, search product (like what they did with YouTube).
Tell HN: Deleting Google “Frequent” Contacts Is Like Playing Whack-a-Mole
Sorry for what may be a spurious post. And I'm not slagging on Google. They do lots of great software (YouTube/Search/Maps/GCP), and I'm sure it must be super hard to maintain quality when you have so many products.

But the experience I had today was just ridiculous. I found myself thinking, "This is the stupidest thing ever."

What happened was I went into the Contacts sub-app and clicked the "Frequently contacted" contacts and started purging. Only to discover that a second-and-a-half after I went through the multi-click saga in order to delete a single contact, it, low-and-behold, popped right back into the list. But, heres the real 'funny' thing, it was in a different place! Wow. Literally whack-a-mole.

I was dumbfounded at the stupidity of this. Yet I'm not slagging on any dev responsible, as I could definitely see myself creating a bug like this, too. But, I'm surprised it's there. Is Contacts really the dusty, spiderwebbed corner of the Internet where none ever return from (except the ones you delete, heh), and there be dragons? I mean, come on. It's a list mutation. With server sync. At least keep the deleted action state on the client, and wait for the success/error response from the server, instead of having it randomly pop back into the list.

I estimate it took my 1.618*normal number of clicks for me to banish all these infrequently (and now never to be again) contacted 'contacts.

Bah!

Latest article on graphene: https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottsnowden/2020/07/24/ground-...

Ground-Breaking Method To Make Graphene From Garbage Is Modern-Day Alchemy

[..] The study shows that a split-second, super-hot flash of electricity focused on any item containing carbon — including a plastic water bottle, a worn out rubber tire or even food waste — reorders the carbon atoms to produce graphene. All chemical bonds are broken, forcing all the other elements to escape as gases, leaving behind a super-strong lattice of carbon just one atom thick.

The burst of energy that heats up the item to over 5000°F is so precisely focussed that making half a kilogram of this “flash graphene” would only use the same amount of energy as running a standard dishwasher for 30 minutes. No solvents or chemicals of any kind are used.[..]

Modern computing seems to be a story of "worse is better", and not just the classical "worse is better" of Gabriel's paper but something that amounts to "worse is better squared". Gabriel bemoaned the adoption of Unix and C over more "well-thought-out" designs, but Unix and C were at least designed. ("Say what you will, at least it's an ethos.") The same could go for TCP/IP's lean design as opposed to the heavyweight OSI model. But it seems like even these designs are too onerous for the modern day, and instead we build what would normally go on top of Unix or TCP/IP on the Web. All platforms are now the Web platform, which was never designed to run programs and hence is a non-cohesive mess. All networking is now client-server, or indeed is now just HTTP requests: goodbye end-to-end principle (hello NAT!), goodbye protocols other than TCP or UDP. We can build the same things on this platform as we did with native platforms, but we have to do it using kludgy methods which sacrifice a lot of performance and only work 95% of the time: so instead of TCP, we get WebRTC, and instead of assembly we have WebAssembly. And what do we gain? We gain security, and we gain ease of installation (just go to www.zombo.com vs go to zombo.com, click on "Downloads", click on "Windows x64", wait 4 minutes for it to download... and so on).

Can we do better? I think we can: if operating systems caught on to capability-based security, then the Web platform could become a legacy platform. (We see that phone OSes, which use capability based security, still direct us to "the app" rather than "the site".) And adoption of IPv6 could void all the kludgy workaround of NAT that we've had to develop.

But we live in the world we inherit, rather than the one we imagine, so currently all we can do is traverse NATs and write webapps.

I’ve worked at UCLA for ~10 years, and none of it has ever made sense to me. I think there are a lot of lawyers and politicians behind this.
Yeah, there's nothing at all objectively better in any way on Mastadon.
It's not clear to me there is a correlation. Introverted so doesn't have many friends. At work, people who are into the same thing (coding here on HN) are like minded people that an introvert can get some socialization from. Where as an extrovert has a million friends and zoom calls them one after another, filling their socialization quota.
I’ve been wanting to set up a couple of small home servers (something like some raspberry pis). They’ve been out of stock since forever and very hard to come across. It’s been months since this project is paused.

I’m considering just getting a Mac Mini and using that as a home server with everything in it.
Your comments are usually much more substantive. Using the sliding slope argument for wheelchair access makes you look like a right dick.
I wouldn't underestimate the effect of equity - property prices in London have effectively doubled over the past decade, so there's a lot of people who bought a decade ago sitting on hundreds of £ks of unearned equity. The borrowing limits in the UK (4.5x salary) have quite a lot of headroom before interest rates make them completely unaffordable (assuming there's not a mass reduction in salary at the same time).
This is a really important thing to bring up.
We do something kind of similar, only in reverse, with Prisma and PostgreSQL (models are defined in Prisma and TypeScript types are automatically generated for use in the client). It's been a pleasant developer experience, though we do not have any realtime data needs yet (we just do basic polling for the few parts that need reactivity based on database updates). I wasn't aware of the Supabase realtime PG project which was discussed here, so thanks for bringing that to our attention!
I've never heard of the "Boston Marathon", so I looked it up. It appears to be a non for profit event people run in and often raise money for charities.

So my question is, why? Who cares? Why harass this man, actively try and destroy his life and livelihood because he might have cheated. Maybe he did. So what? How does it affect you?

The saddest thing here is that people don't have better shit to do than punish this man who likely contributed more to the world than them for a victimless crime.
If you account for societal benefits and not just the owner's personal gain then I don't think they are the same.

It's really just matter whether you view regulations as legitimate tool to curve/change behaviors that you think are detrimental to society.
The problem is not about homes being overpriced.

The truth is that there is much much much more money in the middle class globally (almost 3x that of 2000) and on top of that the normal inflation, and freezing of supply.

As long as “desirable location” stay the same, and the amount of people affording it growing so significantly. The expectation of being able to afford one is a strange one.

Another data point. I have “virus induced asthma”. Even a cold can cause my body to go into severe over reaction mode. It’s treated by psuedophredrine and asthma medicine.

Normally, my asthma doesn’t bother me. I did all of the safety protocols before vaccines were introduced and I got them as soon as I could.

But after that, we have been living life normally. I am considerate of other people and get tested regularly before I travel for business or to see my parents.

We went on cruise last year. I got Covid. I didn’t realize I had it until the test came back. I did my normal cold regiment - psuedophredrine and asthma meds[1]. I coughed like crazy for a couple of days, self isolated and by the end of the next week, I was back to exercising - at home in my home gym.

[1] this is the recommended treatment for asthma sufferers. But
