There's no logic behind this. Even if you go by the reasoning that 12 PM is noon because any time after exactly 12 PM sharp is post-meridian if the meridian is exactly at 12, it shouldn't be 12 but 0. Having an intentional off-by-one error in your date format is simply bad design and counterintuitive.

The 12 hour date format with AM/PM is asking for trouble and it's at least partially their fault that you got this wrong, especially if they schedule appointments at unusual times and expect you to find noon and midnight equally reasonable. They could have avoided this easily but their lack of accomodation shows an intentional disregard.

If it's any consolation, Pearson is infamous for horrible exam designs, so at least they're not uniquely shitty towards non-Americans.
It could be worse - before 1805 on a Royal Navy ships PM would come before AM:

"Up to late 1805 the Royal Navy used three days: nautical, civil (or "natural"), and astronomical. For example, a nautical day of 10 July, would commence at noon on 9 July civil reckoning and end noon on 10 July civil reckoning, with PM coming before AM. The astronomical day of 10 July, would commence at noon of 10 July civil reckoning and ended at noon on 11 July"

Looks like they did a bit of premature rounding:

the difference between 38℃ and 94℃ is 100.8Δ℉ rather than the 100Δ℉ that was probably there in the original markings. It's the closest you can come to the correct values though, 93℃ is off by 1Δ℉

They then assumed 100Δ℉ = 56Δ℃, and applied that to the rest of the dial.

That means the values on the dial are off a bit, and should be: 38, 93, 149, 204, 260, 316, 371, 427
Years ago I missed a night international flight because of this. It left at 12:00 am (midnight) Nov.10, but to me that meant at the end of the day so I show up 3 hours early at 9pm on Nov.10, only to find out the flight left 21 hours ago. I should have arrived 9pm Nov.9 to catch the plane at 12:00am which technically was the very start of Nov.10.

I've noticed that they no longer post 12:00am as a flight time. Instead it would be listed a few minutes before, like 11:55pm Nov.9.
Oh that’s great! I think your chances are good at landing a remote job. I used to work for TheoremOne and they were a fully remote US-based consultancy that you might look into. Just putting those technologies on our resume should land you some inbound leads.

There's a misalignment between the sequential numbers (begin at 1:00; end at 12:59) and AM/PM (begin at 12:00; end at 11:59). A 24-hour clock fixes this, but if we insist on a 12-hour clock we could still align these two spans by renumbering the "12" hours as "0" hours. Then we would see 11:59 AM -> 0:00 PM -> 0:01 PM.
Do your analog clocks have all numbers from 0-23 in them?

As someone who works on a SaaS product, one of our biggest costs is our stable API surface. Internal APIs are essentially free, but for a public API we have to:

- Implement a conversion layer from our internal representation so we can keep it stable.

- Complicate all further feature work because we have to consider how it will affect existing customers of the API.

- Write and maintain documentation for the API.

- Keep the API working even after we no longer use it.

- Maintain multiple versions of the API in parallel.

- Make sure our error messages make sense to people not familiar with our internal systems.

- Be more careful with validation - for our internal APIs it's not the end of the world if a bad request results in a 500 rather than a 400, but it matters a lot for public APIs.

- Be more careful with rate limiting and other defenses against API misuse.

And this is to name just a few. A requirement that everyone expose a public API is pointless if it doesn't include a stability guarantee, and overly burdensome if it does.
If childless taxpayers think it's expensive to send children to school, wait till they live in a society where children are not schooled.
Why wouldn't you be able to bump the API of your messaging app? Sounds orthogonal to me. You are required to publish a working and open API. You are doing it. They can consume the new API with the new default cypher.
Good luck blocking a person that pretends to be 10000 different strangers.
Sorry but try as it might the Babylon Bee is just not funny. It reads like some right wingers wanted to create a "safe space" version of The Onion where the humor would never turn on them. It reads like that because that's what it is, which is why it's not funny. It's also not funny because it punches down. Punching down is never funny, which is why the left needs to stop making fun of "rednecks" (read: poor white people).

This particular joke isn't funny because if the story were real it would be badass. The USA could put nukes in space in a heartbeat. We even have a fucking space force. We could put tons of nukes in space with giant reusable stainless steel rockets. That would give us transsexual admirals commanding 1950s-style sci-fi shiny rockets full of nuclear space missiles, which would totally badass.

It would be the ultimate nightmare vision of the evil liberal industrial rational West's Kali Yuga vaporizing the brave strongman soldiers of Traditionalism. Take that Dugin! Take that Putin-on-a-horse!

Even worse... make the atomic trans space admiral Jewish...

I can't comment about the availability of cheap cameras, but I'd caution you if you're going that way (particularly if you want to shoot at less than ideal situations). The contrast autofocus most of them use is finicky at best, and I don't think you'll get phase detection AF in a cheap cam. However a 2nd hand DSLR might be a much better idea.

Even though you're not in favor of the idea, a phone camera of a mid-high end phone likely will be much better (especially with its computational chops) than a cheap point and shoot, especially if you already have a fancy $$$ phone.

This is the great thing about life, everyone is different and we care about different things and we all get along.

Im the complete opposite but I totally get your point and respect everything you said.

Everything you listed as a positive is a negative for me. Cooking isn’t a waste of time, it’s an opportunity to be creative. I get a lot of pleasure from making a good meal, both a sense of accomplishment but also the pleasure of eating good food. It’s also a time to spend with family. Eating the same food every day, and a texture-less shakes at that, sounds awful. So many of my family memories are around the table.

I get that people see shopping as a waste of time but I enjoy exploring grocery stores and specialty markets, trying out new products and flavors. The other day my wife and I went shopping with our daughter, we got some beer to enjoy while walking around, my daughter got a slice of pizza. The staff in the bakery section was decorating a cake, she thought my daughter was cute and gave her a little cup of frosting and some Easter cake toppings. As a 3 year old it was the greatest experience of her life.
I imagine the hold up is that it is connecting to an external service.

Ask HN: Simple framework/way to create command-line apps?
This might seem like a weird request, but what’s the quickest way/framework to create command-line/terminal apps that uses REST APIs to reach and interact with arbitrary SaaS apps?

I’d like to try as an experiment to use some key apps via terminal (happy to host on a remote Linux server or MacOS and telnet in) to increase focus-time and go keyboard-only. I think for some apps (like email) there’s apps already, for others (like Slack) I’m sure someone has built something too, but for some (like Asana) I might need to create my own mini-Frontend for some key actions.

I’m ideally looking for some no-code/low—code or rapid prototyping framework and not just a “hey just built it from scratch in Node/python/powershell/php etc”

Hope it makes sense and thanks a lot in advance! :-)
I don't want to pile on the author, but I agree here. It is worthwhile to explore new ideas and I think I understand what the author was going for, but JS is probably a bad start to propose something like that.

That said, it feels like my post was a little cheap, because I don't have a good enough alternative ( and it is unlikely people would want to go back to 90s net ).

It's not. It's explicitly against the guidelines. Which is why GP is getting downvotes
If you want to use the concept of "probability" to deal with reality, you better decide first if the reality offers infinite payoff/risk. If it does, your tool (the naive probability) is inadequate and quite easily broken, as you just have demonstrated.

The tool will sway to 100% and back to 0% on like a broken compass, depending on which infinities you thought about this very minute.
I feel like the Apple demographic will definitely go for this (even if they complain initially)

It's smart way for them to get people to upgrade every year, which has been in decline from what I read

The downside I guess you will not be able to sell the device or give it away. You will have to send it back and Apple will make a tidy profit on the refurb market - or put a new chip in it and sell at as the "new" iPhone SE

No.
They are asking for endpoints and public APIs. Nobody is forced to adopt a standard, that is a fallacy you have just built (and has powered a tangential thread of 20 messages and counting.. debating something that is not in the topic).

Services will be forced to provide public endpoints and public APIs. Nobody is forcing them to shape them in any way. Consumers can decide to interface with them, or not. The onus on implementing and interfacing with them lays on the consumers. You don't need an agreement between everybody.
This is the world that android already lives in, and there is no meaningful fragmentation in app stores. I think your fears are overblown.

FWIW there are very few moments in time and space where the sun will have reached its highest point at exactly 12:00 PM so even that logic is nonsensical. The only consistent mental model is that for traditional reasons clocks go from 1 to 12 and 12 is actually the zero point of the next 12 hour cycle. It's literally just a cultural artefact you have to commit to rote memorization because there's no good reason for it to be that way ever since digital watches became a thing and people no longer had to rely on bell towers to give them the time of day (which can't strike zero times for obvious reasons).
I've been more or less of this opinion since watching this talk years ago by Dr. Jason Fung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6IO2DZjOkY
He indicated multiple times that he does not want other (third party) clients, does not want the server to be open and federated. Let him have it, it works for many people.

Imagine you were him and you are getting issues filed from people using services the government forced you to build, or were even build by others but forced on your once clean solution. I'd say "screw you guys, I'm going home" (Build your own solution). And I'd agree with him. Where would it end?
How we used Go 1.18 generics when designing our Identifiers
My limited understanding is that smart phones also have firmware that is distributed by the manufacturer that also requires security updates. So grapheneos takes care of the operating system, but google would need to provide the firmware updates. I think this is one of the reasons why the graphene docs recommend a pixel 6/6a, as they have an unusually (for android) long support life from google - 5 years or so.
You can still enforce PKI on top of open APIs.
Of course streaming strengthens the power law distribution of the payouts in this space.

Podcast, youtube channel, music, it is all the same process and payout structure.

Since there is too much choice you just have to sample what is popular and so what is popular gets more popular at the expense of the less popular. Repeat.
If I had to guess, most downvotes GP got were for "predicting" downvotes.
Karma be damned. Uncomfortable truth must be made cognizant.

But they won’t do it exactly given their widely disparate privacy and security model. Unless some kind of an instant messaging standard surfaces.

As is, it would become another cat-n-mouse security theater in leveraging one IM provider’s API weakness to gain additional insight of a subscriber using another IM provider’s API.
wouldn't...that also be virtue signaling?

Here is the thing, maybe you don't need Docker to use Java, which was invented exactly to abstract the underlying OS and CPU architecture (and isn't the only one at that game).

Agreed. It genuinely feels like my online experience degraded over the course of the past decade or so, because I am less willing to join a specific walled garden. And then I remember that this is by design. The winner takes his/hers social circle to the winner garden.
Used to be they had time to get UI better. Now, if you have the same UI for 6 months people think you've stalled and start looking for new. Everything has to be constant churn, constant change. Far too many people today get bored way too easily.
Good luck. Americans will insist that 12 is more intutive because zeros look weird or something. If you tried to standardize on 0-based 12 hour clocks in the US it'd probably result in something weird like Texas seceding or some Christian sect claiming it's anti-Christian and trying to assassinate you.

I don’t know who you are or what your perspective is but I am a music industry professional in New York. I also don’t know how you are defining success.

I also don’t know all your marketing knowledge. Maybe you know a whole set of things I am completely unaware of.

What I do know is success as an artist seems to be a weird blend of savvy, talent, luck … and who knows what else.

I have a bad reaction when people make blanket statements like you are doing, because it has a hint of victim blaming.

“block stranger requests” could mean using your contacts as an allowlist
The same can be said about WhatsApp et al. I’m going to bet that Meta also indicated they don’t want other third party clients.

From my point of view, the advantages of opening up these platforms outweigh the disadvantages for those who don’t like that.

The whole idea of this type of regulation is that it tries to do what’s best for the consumer, and the market as a whole, not not necessarily for the businesses behind it.
you just don't want more people around ;-)
Part of my point is, demanding a lock up of funds should raise the barrier high enough that you won't need KYC - legitimate users will get their funds back (or use them to continue service) while it will be cost-prohibitive for abusers.

If you want to play it safer, increase the minimum required amount and/or lock-up time accordingly.

If you had a way to get this integrated easily, would it be interesting?
