Why is everyone so obsessed with buying a house. Why is that the measure of quality of life to strive towards?
The creator is getting free meals and the restaurants are getting some exposure. Sure.

But what about the average user. They post a picture of their night out at a club in NYC. Some automated bot comes along and follows them because the venue is tagged marking that they live nearby.

They’re sitting at work and get a notification that they’ve been followed. ::dopamine hit:: They pick up their phone, distracting them and check the account. Oh cool! This account has 20k followers and only follows 400 people, I must be special. ::dopamine hit::

This account has co-opted their attention via a push notification.

They follow the account back and get their feed filled with automated posts even though they’re under the impression it’s a curated account. They’re being subtly manipulated into looking at empty content, maybe even going to some of the restaurants, under the guise of genuine recommendations when it’s purely spam and noise.

Is this a travesty? Probably not. Am I being dramatic? Almost certainly. But it kind of sucks and can get out of control quickly. I know people who get thousands of push notifications each day, and who’s feeds are filled with doom scrolling-friendly garbage. It’s not healthy.
Wow I picked up a working nano from the junk bin at a thrift store for $5, didn't realize that was such a deal
In US ? Asia ? Won't happen.

Those continents don't use "human rights" as an ideology like EU .

In Europe ? Almost guaranteed.

Russia announced today it will stop accepting currency from "hostile" nations.
One of currency is used by myself in my country its the "EURO"

It's sound simple yet what Putin is pushing toward is "Bretton Woods" Reset.

European have been living with overly high standard compared to their geo-political power, this was made possible because their currency enable them to buy everything for "cheap". ( Energy ,Commodities, Goods etc... )

Russia just broke the European economic machine by determining their currency is worthless.

If European refuse to "pay in ruble" it doesn't matter , it'll be gold , and the result will be 10 time worst. The Euro System was rigged from the start, it's impossible to repair it and get a currency as solid a Swiss Franc. Or at least not with causing a massive recession similar to Greece.

Probably time for me to leave EU and get somewhere with better perspective...
Cowon would be my go to too
The person was replying to a comment saying they spend more on a SINGLE HOUR of a dev's time than the monthly GH bill, which is not true for an org of more than 20 people or so (depending on hourly rate).
I'm no expert on Chinese culture. But the message is at least as old as "Journey to the West" (aka: 'that monkey king story'). Where Tang Sanzang travels westward in search of paradise. At the end of the trip, he fails to find paradise, and Buddha IIRC tells him to turn around and look back upon his journey.

Tang Sanzang created paradise in his time, by solving all the issues of the people along the way. It was the journey that made paradise, not the end. If he just teleported to the West, there would have been no paradise.

Probably a Buddhism thing that keeps coming up over and over again over the centuries. But I liked that one.
Really, the vast majority of human activity remains organized under heavily hierarchical, authoritarian command economies—since that's how nearly all companies work. We're fortunate to live in a seemingly-unusual time when maybe 1/3 of the world's population lives under semi-functional, more-or-less liberal democratic states that claim higher authority than those companies and do an OK job of slightly moderating the ability of the rich to dominate everyone else, but still. The world's very much mostly not democratic, even today, and even in democracies little mini-oligarchies/dictatorships dominate much of our life.
If you want to know anything about VR, why would you talk to someone who knows nothing about VR?

What is it with our culture that expertise is viewed as a conflict of interest? Flat-eathers scoff at astronomers. A teacher tells some parents their kid is having trouble in a subject and the parents blow up. There's a small band of entitled truckers out here making folks late to pick up their kids from school because they think they know better about vaccines than doctors.

A user only knows their own, subjective experience. As a developer, I collect feedback from many users.
"dictatorship is the default human civilization" definitely needs a citation. Many historical societies had one person at the top, but a bunch of several rich and powerful people with non-trivial ability to veto things / influence policy. I'd guess that an oligarchy where these people take turns to be the top guy and still retain some control when they're not on top is a fairly common pattern.
What distinction are you making between a blockchain and a hash chain? They seem similar.
> A presStop hook w/ a sleep equivalent to an acceptable timeout will handle the 99%+ cases

That's precisely what we did in one of my previous client. To increase portability, we wrote the smallest possible sleep equivalent in C, statically linked it, stuck it into a ConfigMap and mounted it to the pods so every workload would have the same pre-stop hook.

It was funny to watch when a new starter in the team would find out about that very elegant, stable and useful hack and go "wtf is going on here?" :D

This dealt with pretty much all our 5XXs due to unclean shutdowns.
We can agree to disagree on that. :) By your metric, I can improve type safety simply by weakening the guarantees of my type system.

Putting it another way -- a type safe program, in the limit, should have an infinite number of type errors. :)
The popularization of retail trading has brought in a ton of dumb money to prop up the real players. This is the real reason Robinhood et al have been so successful, it's like the fish paying you to swim into the trap.
MMT requires excess reserves to be absorbed by taxation. Taxation has not be increased since the beginning of the quantitative easing interventions. MMT has never been tested.
Crypto is of course extremely volatile but Monero is one of the much more stabler ones (and also one that you are not going to see crazy gains in). And it is also the most private/anonymous of the bunch. Probably not a bad idea to have a small piece of an emergency fund invested securely in it.
There are zero legal apartments in NYC without windows. Hell, there are zero legal bedrooms in NYC without windows.

Even with recent price moves one can readily find an apartment for less than $2k here in decent parts of Brooklyn and Queens. And if your housing budget is $2k, one can find absolutely incredible places anywhere in the city if you’re willing to have a housemate or two… you shouldn’t have a problem finding a duplex in a nice brownstone, and you could each have a separate floor and entrance.
Yes, people seem to forget that HELOCs are usually callable too.

If you have a $500k HELOC and have used $200k of it for something, the bank usually has the right to force you to start making principal repayments (not just interest), to change the interest rate, and/or even in extreme circumstances to “call” the loan and ask you to repay everything ASAP. Read your fine print.

I don't know anyone still using MP3s. Everyone has moved on to one streaming service or another.

As a parent, I don't feel like purchasing offline music for my kids as it's one more thing they'll outgrow as they get older. I don't see a need to shelve a thumb drive full of Paw Patrol or whatever next to their outgrown jackets and rain boots.
Low, with just how low depending on how you're defining "financial crash". While the war changes things incrementally, odds aren't significantly worse than 2 months ago. It also makes US equities and assets more attractive, with Europe bearing most of the war related impact and China having their own issues this year. With rate hikes and 2021 tailwinds fading, a slowdown is obviously on the horizon, but nobody can tell you whether it'll qualify as a recession, whether it's this year, or whether things will break to a degree you could call it a crash.
I saw an ad for a Sony Walkman recently. It's an overpriced piece of jewelry, but under that it does play music.

Ask HN: Is YouTube Premium worth it?
With the Vanced app being taken offline and Vimeo charging some creators thousands of dollars, several people on HN asked: If you value Youtube and the free service is provides, why don't you pay for it?

I've thought of subscribing to Youtube, but its family plan is at £18, which is more than Netflix/Disney+ combined (very roughly).

Obviously, it's not that big an amount, but I wonder: Is it worth it?

As for supporting creators: We can do that via Patreon (if they have one)-- does subscribing to YT help?

If anyone has Youtube Premium, do you feel it is worth it?
Given how much trouble they're having in Ukraine, I can't imagine Putin or his immediate subordinates doing that. If he's lost his mind that much then I think there would be an immediate coup in Russia.
Moderna announces results for Covid-19 trials in children 6 months to 5 years
I knew somebody would bring this up; I mentioned financial motivation because these guys in particular are merging the line between financial motivation, hacktivism and bragging about their hacks. On the other hand I know LulzSec wasn't financially motivated but some individual members of LulzSec were involved in criminal activities motivated by profit in their past hacking "careers". LulzSec was all about mocking computer/internet security, bragging about their hacks and making fun about it, all wrapped up in some sort of hacktivism.
> If we had more eyes + more critiques, we could debug their thinking & see where it's going.

The Fed is rather transparent (both with policy thinking and data), and I can't think of any area with more eyes and more critiques than US monetary policy.
Is it just me or did no one (at the time) call the mobile revolution "Web2" ?
The general message here is true, but I suspect that your specific example is not. Do you have a citation for the claim that PRIMEINC (generate random odd value, increment by 2 until you find a prime) caused overlapping prime factors?

The work I'm guessing you refer to on colliding prime factors is by Heninger et al., "Mining Your Ps and Qs", USENIX Security 2012 [1]. That paper does not mention anything about PRIMEINC causing this problem. The cases they found all related to bad entropy or extremely bad ways of generating moduli (like, pick two random values from a short list of known primes and use that as the modulus---an IBM product actually did this).

In fact, PRIMEINC is provably secure for generating RSA keys (though this was only shown somewhat recently): Abboud and Prest [2] analyze the distribution of outputs from PRIMEINC and show (see Section 4.1) that the security loss is negligible under quite mild conditions. Concretely, generating a reasonably sized RSA key using PRIMEINC rather than uniformly random primes reduces the security of RSA by a few bits at most.

But in some sense this reinforces your point---it was definitely not trivial to show that a tweak as seemingly simple as PRIMEINC is actually safe!

This seems like a variant of trying to time the market. If you really believe the risk of nuclear war is elevated and you have a contingency plan to go live in a safer place, do it. Don't try to beat the general public by five minutes. What happens then if you get the alert, but you're in the middle of taking a crap, a shower, your phone happened to be a different room, you're driving through a tunnel, or you're more than five minutes from your house anyway? Are you really in a position to respond within five minutes 24/7/365?

I believe that most management just want people to do more work for the same amount of money. It's less about how many hours are necessary to succeed, it's about "how much more can I squeeze out of my employees."

Those companies that are experimenting with work schedules are also trying to squeeze more out of their employees... just in a different way. They may recognize that causing employees to burn-out is a problem and are looking for ways to optimize the employee output.

It isn't necessarily a bad thing to optimize for employees generating better output. It's only bad when employee morale is completely ignored.
Rust based tools are so cool. I have used various cli tools and they are just awesome. One example is fnm which is fast and makes it easy to switch node js versions.

Nope
I'm sure they'll both eventually find houses but given a certain size family and desire to not move away from current schools and work, inventory is in the single digits. One of these people has been consistently outbid on offers even though they are offering well above list prices, the other had to walk away from their most recent offer after the seller demanded another half million dollars on top of an all-cash, no-contingency offer that was half a million above asking.

Incumbent land speculators are taking literally all of the money out of the California economy.
Not in 2022 they're considered different Operating Systems. People have been developing AppImage, Flatpak and snap for a reason. They're being used and it's a thing.

Yeah, the year of the Linux desktop isn't coming, but it's not 2001 either. We've standardised onto a few technologies pretty much everyone adopt except the ones that want to be different: systemd, Flatpak being the most used cross-distro system, pulseaudio (and pipewire offers a 100%-compatible shim for it), dbus, NetworkManager and now finally with GNOME 42/libadwaita we can have even standardised UI design.

And like many other things frontend, things move at a pretty rapid pace. Ubuntu 18 is ancient, might be good for a server, but it's not a good idea to use that as a metric for where the Linux desktop is.
On Windows the main software is CopyTrans, which even supports modern iPhones! For purely iPods, here is also the jlPod WinAmp plugin that works well
It looks like I was imprecise with my language. It looks like plants are licensed for 40 years. Extensions are for an additional 20 years. (!)

> there's nothing wrong with extending the lifespan if the regulators are okay with it.

Perhaps! Unless regulators make a mistake, or are pressured politically or by industry to extend licenses when they ought not be. I'm not sure I'd want to go into a hypothetical 2030s where the US had scores of nuclear power plants to decommission two decades after the end of their original lifespan.

Haven't played it but at a glance its a cockpit game for VR. So again, no moving, no local physics interactions that the players hands have to deal with. Looks pretty cool.

But when people think vr, and they look at the movies, they're thinking about games where you are a person in a place that feels alive.
I had it largely for Google Play Music now YouTube Music. I canceled it briefly when we switched to Tidal for music, but family members complained about the ads and were still themselves using YouTube Music, so I brought it back.

Is it worth it is a highly dependent, unanswerable question, though. I don't particularly think it's worth it because I don't watch much, if any, YouTube and don't use the music app, but some of my family members obviously disagree.
When I tried it 16GB was tight but doable. I would've preferred more, because I spent more time than I wanted micromanaging VM sizes.

But how many of those actually affected you? For example, no amount of issues around codespaces or github packages would impact my professional use of github, so whether there are 21 or 5000 or those parts get permanently taken offline makes no difference in what I need out of the platform.

How many core incidents? The part that affects whether you can even push to and pull from a repo, and access issues and PRs? Because everything else is nice to have, but you can do work perfectly fine without them if they go down for a few hours.
imo, if you want to fix open source funding then you need to address these problems:

- a lot of companies that use open source don't donate to open source

- a lot of companies that adopt open source refuse to contribute to it or try to takeover the project

- companies will always fulfill bare minimum license requirements at most. At least, they ignore the license completely.

- companies ignore any open source which isn't a first order dependency.

I couldn't really tell from this page whether this product will somehow address one or multiple of these items.

Dunno, I got blocked from my work SaaS hosted gitlab for about a month by cloudflare. Nobody at gitlab or cf helped. I only figured it myself after about 4 hours of research, that it was caused by some disabled (by me years ago) web tracking APIs no-one should have hard dependence on.

I certainly would not have this problem on self hosted instance, because it would not be behind CF. I'm sure I'd have other problems though. :)

All software is crap. You can be either spending time fixing it yourself, or spending time begging online for fixes/help from some SaaS company/community with resolution time in months, somtimes, all that while you may not be able to use it fully.

Also with SaaS it will be constantly shifting under you. Things will be moved around, restyled, iconized, popupized, etc. This doesn't help productivity either. With self-hosting, you can at least avoid upgrading, if you dislike this kind of thing. Or choose FOSS software that values UX permanency/stability, which seems to be really hard ask from SaaS business.
> The main point of verilog is to simulate digital logic

I disagree. A HDL, which verilog is an instance of, provides a precise description of a digital machine.

Once you have that description, many things can be done with it. For example you can simulate the machine which is to be produced.

The problem is HDL looks like an algorithm, because it is. But it’s not a precise description of a computation, it’s a description of an object.

Most people who I’ve observed program verilog badly do so because they confuse the two. Kinda like confusing giving directions with giving instructions to make a map. Directions and maps are highly related, but they’re not the same thing.
Sometimes it's better not to act. It's all situation dependent.

I suppose easy and hard depends on who you are.

Pre-2015 there were a lot of opportunities to get a running start without much investment. A cool new web-thing would spread organically, could be coded pretty fast, etc.

Now, it's easier to raise money and use that to build a business. A not uncommon strategy is paying Google and Facebook $200 to acquire a $100. It loses money, but shows growth.

For some people, the new way is easy mode. For a lot of people, the ability to raise, pay yourself a real salary and also recruit a well paid team is easy mode. For some people, three dudes and some ramen is easy mode.
Interest rates for real estate have already doubled from 2020. In my opinion with prices still rising we either aren’t pricing this in enough yet, or else inflation is still beating the rising rates.

It looks like they're offering an oral device that tries to fix the problem by moving the jaw forward. I was diagnosed with pretty severe sleep apnea about a dozen years ago. At first I resisted getting a CPAP machine and looked into some alternatives. A doctor recommended that I check with a local dentist that specializes in sleep apnea. His device cost on the order of $2500 (Insurance paid for most of it). It essentially just moved the jaw forward by degrees. After a couple of months of adjusting it he gave me the take-home test which showed that my apnea was actually worse with the device. Well, that was a waste of time & money. Got a CPAP machine soon after.
I doubt they use IIS

> Given how much trouble they're having in Ukraine, I can't imagine Putin or his immediate subordinates doing that

Yeah, Putin attacking Poland where much of the supply for Ukraine from the West runs would be insane given how bogged down he is; that would be like the US getting bogged down fighting in Vietnam and deciding to institute a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia, because supply lines supporting enemies in Vietnam ran through Cambodia.
