Aluminum is not damaged by hydrogen.

Hydrogen is generally a problem only at high pressure. Before we had "natural gas", we had "lamp gas", hydrogen and carbon monoxide delivered via cast-iron pipes.

The usual form of stored bulk hydrogen will be cryogenic liquid at only a little above atmospheric pressure.

That said, ammonia is a more practical storage medium. Unlike methane, it only needs universally available feedstocks: hydrogen from water and nitrogen from air, and may be stored at room temperature under not very high pressure.
The only clothes I need to renew are socks and underwear. I have enough smart, casual wear to last me the next decade at least.
Nitpick: it is only guaranteed to be unequal to any character and less than zero.

(And no, I don’t know any implementation that has it unequal to minus one. I would love to see a devilish C compiler/standard library that would make all kind of standard-conforming, yet non-standard implementation choices (EOF not minus one, RAND_MAX a fairly small prime, etc. Goal would be to have no single major program run correctly on it)
As far as we know.
I don’t have anything objective to back this up, but in my experience it requires a lot more discipline and initial knowledge from the devs. Much of the existing documentation for PHP is just plain wrong, or horrible advice. It’s difficult for new devs to learn these practices. PHP let’s you be ‘lazy’ and hack in shortcuts to solve problems - lots of discipline required there.

If you have a solid team and some people with a good background in the framework and PHP that can mentor effectively, then it probably won’t be bad. It still would not be my first choice though.
They're not being kicked off the web by copyright lawyers. The bloggers still own their copyright. Indeed, copyright is what keeps them being exploited by others.

They're disappearing because they don't want to pay what it costs in time or fees to keep their words around. If you believe enough in this-- and I'm not being sarcastic -- I hope you'll donate the time and servers and bandwidth to offer free hosting for these folks.
Show HN: The Newbies Guide to Crypto
Security is one of the strong points of Wordpress because of the steady flow of patches. All you have to do is install them quickly.

If you can do that, I would not hesitate to put WP online without a WAF. Almost all attempts on WP sites are scripted attacks on vulnerabilities that have already been patched.

Patches are good. Saying WP must be insecure because of all the patches is like saying a fancy restaurant bathroom must be filthy because it gets cleaned 4 times a day.

For track racing, why not buy a golf cart? I see no reason for someone to want a sports car in 2022.

It should be clear that there is a big difference between PC gaming and console gaming experiences.

And I own about a hundred games on Windows, and I still think Linux file manager GUIs are awkward compared to Windows.
It depends on the area of CS. Eg: a PhD from a good group in NLP/CV or ML generally can get you a fantastic well-paying position in industry that would be out of reach without the PhD. Same for, e.g., cryptography.
It probably is, but diminishing returns could make the difference negligible in the future. I expect cars to be a good example of that, the difference between a 2012 car and a 2022 car emission wise will not be that great.
Do these users have a choice? e.g. export their data and use it on a self-hosted instance or another provider that wants to offer something akin the previous wordpress.com? TFA didn't cover this aspect.
While I'm sure not intended, this comment sounds quite sanctimonious.

While I'm not the OP, I would say that the answer to your question is that it doesn't require being intentionally cruel. People in general will (metaphorically) step on each other's toes from time-to-time. If a person is unwilling to apologize over even a small matter, that suddenly becomes pretty rude.
> This is all part of a larger phenomenon I like to call the "Amazon syndrome".

You can validly blame Amazon for a lot of things, but the embrace of Chinese Chabuduo culture isn’t one of them. That is an international trade issue, which is to say a political responsibility of the federal government in the USA and evidently the EU in Europe.
I’m so tired of hearing this ‘just switch to Linux’ bullshit.

If you are privileged enough to be in the extreme minority who can do that - you probably already have.

I know you know this - but people need proprietary software, and they need to not guess if it might possibly work through some interpretative layer like WINE.

May I remind you a lot of people pay for software they need to use, and sometimes need support or updates that they certainly won’t be guaranteed if they are trying to run software on unsupported systems.

If you are somehow privileged enough to not be in that group, you are an extreme - extreme - outlier, and good for you, but don’t bury your head in the sand and forget that for 99% of people, that’s obviously not a possibility - whatsoever - including at least 90% of the workforce who gets handed a laptop and use whatever they have to use.

It’s just so irritating to constantly hear this ‘just go to Linux’ bullshit when it’s not like Linux users aren’t aware that it can’t work for the majority of people.

If I switch to Linux, I lose Photoshop, Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Unity, as well as a handful of plug-ins. That’s $1k plus of software I have paid for and rely on, that I instantly lose access to?!

The value loss upon switching to Linux - alone - for most people, who have invested into software ecosystems that can’t be replicated in Linux alone would be astounding.

It’s not even the money spent on software, either - it’s the time invested in learning it.

I know people who run Linux know this - I wonder why they seem to have forgotten.
> I’ve lost faith in the concept of brands. They’ve almost all been MBA’ed.

This is the first time that I've seen the term "MBA" being verbed (at least with that meaning) and yet I understand exactly what you mean and I fully agree with you. Congratulations if you coined this usage, it's a great way of expressing something for which I was missing a word.
Absolutely brilliant essay and work - It's always extremely impressive when someone can both develop such depth in an area that interests them but also write/blog so eloquently about it.

This is also a great example where I can perfectly see VR/AR shining and perhaps indispensable in this particular use case.
I partially agree: everything is ephemeral. Humans have an obsession of holding on to all things. We hoard at the civilizational level.

That’s not to say we should roll over and let everything be lost like tears in rain.
I will use a static blog generator (or probably write my own in Perl/ Python). I just want simple stuff. In the early days, WP was simple, and I loved it. Now, it turned into a hot mess—every primary functionality (like anti-spam or form) needed a plugin which is a significant source of pain. Fun fact, b2 was slowly dying and had few issues, so they created a b2 fork known as WP. Then Movable Type messed up with its userbase in 2004, and those users did mass migration to WP, and the rest is the history.
Microsoft hates McAfee and the other malware packages, because they know full well how badly they screw up all sorts of internal workings of Windows. Much of Microsoft's own tech support workload is caused by shitty antiviruses. The reason Microsoft made Security Essentials / Defender was to deal with that, to displace the others and reduce Microsoft's own support workload.

Candy Crush isn't anything like that, it doesn't screw up OS functionality. (Well, subjectively, you might consider ads and upsells in the UI broken.)
Not sure I agree. I didnt know about gitjournal until vHanda's post, but immediately saw how it could be a replacement for my use of Google Keep (which I use when I'm on the go vs at my laptop). And there was already an exporter for Google Keep. I'm guessing that exporter benefited from a spec being available.

Your point about "if you're the only one using it, just use it" does apply, but sometimes we do find ourselves being more successful than we originally expected and defining things via a spec is not a bad thing.
Wait, 12 yo in the US don't know how to do chores or do not understand how a house is set up?

Ok, I'll give you the Maya method, or the French method, or the Japanese method, or the Hacker method, or wherever we figured out parenting from in our household:

make kids feel they are part of the adults group. Share tasks, concerns, information, understanding. My 7 yo is (clumsily) washing his dishes because the rule is that if you don't cook, you wash dishes. That before going back to play, we clean the table. It is the rule for everyone, adults or kids.

We don't fake enjoyment of the chores, we explain its usefulness, we (well, I) do complain a lot about them, and my kid sometimes does it too, but still does it without being told.

Kids learn by imitation and they want to belong to your group. Give them what they want there. Set the example, be fair, be honest.
A bunch of shows do their credits like this without any end black screen with the credits. It aligns perfectly by design. It's a Fox show airing on a Fox channel with a Fox smart ad added to it. They likely designed the credit roll and the ad to work together.
Looks great. Please increase the font size to 16px or at least 15px. It is very difficult to read smaller texts which has become the norm these days.

I actually am surprised to get these responses, and I’ve sent a request to the mods to remove my account as I’m weirded out by what HN has become.
I have mostly been comparing to major brands like Levis. Which for me wear fast and don’t repair well. But maybe I bought the wrong stuff. :)
When starting to work on a new code base, good folder structure with sub-readme documents in subfolders goes a long way in terms of understanding different pieces. A high level architecture document describing why the project is structured the way it is is also essential.

Once I have a mental model of the parts I’m working on in my head, fuzzy keyboard based navigation (cmd + shift + o in vscode) works best for me to jump between parts of the code base, but it admittedly takes some time (a day or two) to get to that point.

It gets much harder in projects that are unintuitively structured for historic reasons or because the maintainers never cared to pay attention to this.

A good example in my opinion is the Chromium code base where I spent considerable time over the last couple of years while working on an electron app and which has an excellent code navigator at https://cs.chromium.org.
I got started with Andrew Ng's Coursera ML course in 2012, and have been learning ML ever since. I think a very diligent student could catch up in half the time (about 5 years).

Yup. At worst, the bundled browser may use the built in web renderer if applicable for whatever reason perhaps.

But it definitely shouldn't be the other way around.

How do you know the other person doesn't see you as cruel, or selfish, arrogant, self-centered jerk, or simply douchebag?

This whole thing is about accepting other possible viewpoints if you don't want to end up as social outcast. I mean we're already in the territory of not-very-balanced people that hurt others enough to have apology expected and don't figure they actually need to apologize on their own (or are too lazy/afraid to do so).
One nice thing I recognized is that the generated RSS feed contains full html text. I wish more blogging platforms are like this; save a lot of effort for feed readers.

I'd also recommend to add open graph meta for the blog posts. Presumably people will want to share the posts somewhere; a nice set of open graph metas goes a long way.
This happens in other industries as well. Mass-market beer comes to mind. The solution, as I see it, starts with owners demanding long term stability in earnings; and a broader quality over quantity philosophy spreading generally.
It just reinforces what Gill has been saying all along, that most of the applicants out there really suck and it's impossible to find good people. That's why you better listen to him because if he ever decides to leave they're screwed. He's the most dependable employee. After four turnovers of the staff he's still there heroically keeping things going.
My guess is their app requiring you to login to set up devices.
> Why are new formats not forthcoming?

oooh I can answer this one. About 15 years ago I saw a talk from a team at, oxford I think?, that had invented a way to store many terabytes on an ordinary blue ray by adding rotation to the scratches, which can then be read because scratches at different angles polarized the returning light differently.

Anyway, they had a working prototype and everything and the big companies like Panasonic all said "No sorry, everyone is shutting down their optical drive lines. We have determined that the future is internet storage and solid state. No one wants disk no matter how much storage they can hold." And that was that.
One thing I hated about Wordpress is the ecosystem around it. Everything was money money money. Coming from React/JS development, you get used to resources being out there. Need a solution for X? Well you will most likely find a free and OSS solution.

With WP it seems that the smallest of add-ons cost money. Even for stuff that is open source elsewhere, the authors have re-packaged it into a subscription service.

My other major gripe is the community. With almost any other platform you can find answers to questions pretty easy. With Wordpress over half the articles I found to issues were blatant SEO spam. Paragraph, paragraph, paragraph, tiny nugget of not useful info, BUY MY ADDON TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR GOOD!

Often times I came across thread where a person would post: "Oh I know how to fix this, but please buy my consulting services to learn the answer".

Huge features to add! So great seeing what at first seemed like a cute mini-impl develop & bloom into such a capable runtime so quickly! You're going to run out of things to implement if you keep this up!

So awesome how modular the cloud is (the open source, CNCF / oci clouds)l specifically. CRI & CSI & CNI just work. That one can build a whole new runtime & it works with all the ancillary network, storage concerns is fabulous. That we can swap container runtimes allows for such healthy competition.

This is one of thise core differentiators versus openstack: openstack was about the pieces of software, their tools. this time around nothing is sacred. K8s delegates a colossal amount of what it is to swappable subprograms. There are alternare kubelets, there are alternate apiserver storages to etcd (k3s's alternate postgres backend/mysql/sqlite); obviously in OpenStack their networking stack neutron for example had tons of plugins but like most openstack, everyone was at the end of the day running very similar tools & daemons... whereas there is a huge splice of concerns one can splice into their kube environment, make things happen via very different daemons. coopertition? competition but cooperatively, towards shared good ends... it's a great & wonderful form of open source to see!
Packmatic | Senior Software Engineer | Berlin, Germany - Remote OK | Full-time | Base + Equity

We are Packmatic and our goal is to digitize the trillion dollar packaging industry with artificial intelligence and increase the market share of sustainable packaging.

We recently raised a multi-million € seed-round only 4 months after incorporation from a top Berlin VC (HV) and Angels (Zalando, Hello Fresh, Sennder, …)

Our team consists of talented, but humble people including ex. Unicorn founders and ex. Y-Combinator.

We’re still small, remote & onsite friendly (with a sweet office in Prenzlauer Berg) and believe in flat hierarchies.

We see ourselves as a tech company first and write robust, tested and type-safe code - We currently run on Vue + TypeScript + Firebase and intend to switch to a custom-built backend soon (i.e. Node, GraphQL, PostGres).

Just message me directly if you’d like to learn more: paul@packmatic.io
Yeah. I love Firefox but I wish they'd stop trying to make me use Pocket or their VPN.
The difference is if you want to make a cheap phone the people who don’t want you to are few, but if you want to build a cheap home there are lots of people who will try to stop you.

The presence of the opposing force in numbers is what is damaging.

Not really. I come in, sit down, put on my headphones, and stare at my screen pretty much the entire day. I’ve never engaged in small talk in the hallway, even pre-pandemic. It pisses me off when people stand around talking and disturbing people around them trying to concentrate. If you want to have a conversation, schedule a conference room and close the door.
Yes, which is novel these days.
From my experience, rinsing doesn't seem to have much of an effect, no matter how long the food stays in the dishwasher. I use long cycles though, maybe short cycles benefit from it. Scraping other the trashcan is useful to avoid clogging the filters if your dishwasher doesn't have a shredder.

Sometimes, dishes don't clean properly, usually, it is because the dishwasher is not loaded properly, or overloaded, but when it isn't, simple rinsing typically wouldn't have helped, and washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher makes you wonder why use a dishwasher in the first place.

I am aware that commercial dishwashers are a completely different things. These things usually run much more aggressive, faster cycles and they are more about sanitizing than washing, so vigorous rinsing may be necessary.
> The results of Binkley’s study show that the use of camel case leads to higher accuracy among both programmers and non-programmers

Quotes like this always make me nervous about trusting a book, because these sorts of studies tend to be pretty difficult to replicate, or have very small effect sizes, or just be examples of poor research. Yet I see a lot of people use these sorts of studies to back up their opinions about what code should look like without really acknowledging how difficult it is to test these sorts of comparisons. As others in the comments here have pointed out, there are other studies that seem to say the complete opposite to the one quoted here, and I strongly suspect that there are far more important measures of readability, the effects of which would completely dwarf any discussion about case.
Fast fashion sucks but this is an odd thing to prioritize given the situation Europe now finds itself in. With a massive energy shortfall, Europe is likely entering the worst economic period since WWII. I am proud of them for sticking to their principles, I just think they should be focused on the existential threats they are currently facing.
Apple is a stakeholder in HEVC patents so I would expect them to fight to the bitter end against non-Apple invented technologies.
MAC address filtering comes with its own downsides. For one, it’s very easy to spoof. So you can act as a node in the mesh network if you copy the MAC address of a known node.

Implications: elevated access within mesh network, capturing traffic between clients and the mesh network, localized disruption of mesh network due to unstable connection caused by duplicate MAC addresses on a single network
Laptop screens can get away with poor range of viewing angle because they typically aim directly at the viewer. The same isn't true for TV screens. I'm not saying there wasn't a conspiracy, but there also weren't good viewing angles in those 90s laptops.
And then there are other people who refuse to apologize for anything, even something that should be trivial to apologize for like rescheduling a meeting. Not that every meeting rescheduling requires an apology, but you start to notice who took the LinkedIn advice of “to apologize is to show weakness.”
Amazon judges how quickly/whether to issue a return based on an algorithm weighted by your lifetime total value. If you shop a lot on Amazon, occasionally returning an item will be 0 hassle for you. If you don't shop on Amazon that often and get unlucky, they will hassle you about the return (you can google this for confirmation). Prime customers are also generally treated much better, obviously because they have a much higher LTV. That third-party seller probably gave you so much grief about the return because their sales volume is much lower, so individual returns cost them a much more significant % of their revenue.

Also, easy returns doesn't mean the items are being reused/the process is good for the environment. Industry surveys show around 25% of returns wind up in a landfill, and this number varies greatly based on what the item is - clothes are thrown away much more often.

Basically, Amazon and other high-volume low-quality retailers simply sell so many products at so high a markup that they can absorb the cost of throwing away some XX% of the products that get returned as a cost of doing business.

"Yeah, put down your phones and pick up your needle and thread, ladies. Good luck with that. Maybe the 19th century wasn't so bad."

I am glad that you recognized that idea that modern clothing should be "repairable" as insane and regressive. Its a pretty good demonstration of why alot of "anti-materialist/consumerist" rhetoric is, in my estimate, actually harmful. They're making a policy out of reducing the standard of living.
>PNRs are not maintained by airlines themselves

This isn't correct. You can have a PNR in a GDS, but you don't have to. The airline has their own central reservation system with the authoritative PNR. The CRS may be provided by Sabre, Amadeus, etc, but it's not a GDS...that's separate.

>They still go through mainframes

Some have moved entirely off of TPF mainframes. Amadeus/Altea is one example.
The only way the EU will survive is if it becomes a federation. Limited federal government that takes care of specific areas, like central bank, military, diplomacy. And leaves all other responsibilities to small states, like the US (or rather like the US was). Instead we have a EU that wants to micro manage every single problem (like fashion in this example), and large states that are not ready to give up any more sovereignty.
