I have more dead friends than living, and I have spent the last several years trying to heal, and mostly succeeding. Sometimes the only thing you can do is cry, and while I'm not a single parent, I have accepted that there are so many things in the world that are going to bring me back to so many dark places, but, for me, I always have a song I can play and cry to and come back to life. Because, I wan't to live the hell out of the time I have left.
I am building an open-source (AGPL) distribution network for native macOS apps at https://appfair.net, along with a catalog browser and installer application at https://appfair.app. It features homebrew casks integration for third-party apps along with security disclosure, an automated build system (using GitHub actions), and verifiably reproducible builds for appfair.net apps.

Creating and distributing apps using appfair.net is instantaneous and free. I'm looking for SwiftUI developers to try out the system to help build up the appfair.net catalog of applications beyond my own little collection of sample apps.

I’m not sure. I also definitely remember everyone thinking that it was very likely the government was spying internally also. The scale was a surprise, but not that spying happened internally. It was quite in the popular culture as well, with shows like X-Files and movies like Hackers and Sneakers and others touching on it.

It was anyway for sure not limited to Art Bell types.
I was always "geeky" and a little behind in terms of socio-emotional development. In recent years I started wondering if I was on the spectrum.

But the more I've delved into it, I've come to the conclusion that no, it's just that I was geeky + raised in a home with abuse, and that when you don't get your emotional needs met in childhood, you skip a lot of developmental milestones and have to make up for them later.

There's more than one reason to feel like you don't "get" certain things about social interaction.

> What I think of as the golden age of FPS games happened shortly after, in 98, with the release of Half-Life and Unreal.

I think there are two components to this: the quality of the games and the community. Modern shooters like Overwatch are amazing. Where they tend to falter:

1. Lack of emergent gameplay (circle jumping, bunny hopping, conc grenade jumping)

2. Curated experience (matchmaking) is inferior to community-led servers and maps

The magic of games from that period was due to both the game design and the nature of the Internet itself.
why? Asking for a friend
Yup! The moment you start installing proprietary software you start noticing it. I had the same experience. I thought it was obvious so i didnt mention it.

But most people, from what ive seen, only use the internet browser and maybe some built in apps. Keep it there and the lines between OS' start to blur.

Edit: to add, this is usually why i tell anyone interested to use linux is to try the tools available first, then if you get used to them, make the switch. Luckily i had already used same tools on windows (gimp, krita, blender) that also work on linux.
I actually like Xilinx's ultrascale SoCs and the petalinux platform. It's not perfect but it works pretty well and is very customizable.

> Regardless, that’s not murder but capital punishment for a certain offense.

That's exactly the point here. The article claims that the commandment is "do not kill", when the actual Biblical law is "do not murder". Per the Bible, there is a whole list of people you can legally kill (men who have sex with men, people from certain tribes, etc).

> There are no records that capital punishment was actually ever delivered

Do we have records of any of the "normal" executions carried out by the ancient Hebrew state while it was a theocracy (in the time of the first temple)?

It seems like it's so far back that we wouldn't get records of them executing gay people, even if it was actually happening.

Thank you for doing this, I’m excited for WASM on the backend but not a lot of bandwidth a lot of my other projects take higher priority atm. I would love to someday see if someone can make a WASM backend for Erlang with support for Erlang features. Would be interesting to give devs from any background indirect access to Erlang via WASM.

By improving the executive function of an ADHD person, it helps them be less impulsive and can definitely help sort out any comorbid anxiety they experience.

I really enjoyed this piece, and it is probably more interesting than the comments (you know who you are). The quote at the end is a great take-away. How do you know you are good at trading or just got lucky? How long will it take to work that out? And is it worth the energy?

Read about pinecone.io. Cut off a neural network that does image classification at the second to last layer and you have a system for creating meaningful vectorial representations. Then if you apply some distance metric to a bunch of these it turns out you can retrieve images that look similar to some query image.

Problem is, scaling and doing this in real-time is hard.

Use cases abound. This was only one. There are a lot of others too. Pinecone, Vespa.AI, Faiss…

That’s not quite right. You can very much use the bsl code in production without a license and many, many companies do. The BSL contains a space for additional use grants. In crdb’s license, you can use the product for anything except building a hosted database as a service product. The definition of what that is is a little bit vague but it more or less means that the users of the product you sell shouldn’t be able to cause schema changes. This is all just protection against cloud providers taking the product and reselling it. I believe also the terms of this bsl are that it becomes Apache 3 years after the code has been released.
As someone who has received a tremendous amount of healing and comfort from psychedelics (in particular psilocybin mushrooms), I sincerely hope that legal psychedelic treatment becomes available before it’s too late for the depressed, anxious, and law abiding loved ones in my life. My Dad has a lot of health issues and struggles with depression and anxiety that becomes quite crippling at times. It has caused a great deal of pain for my family and I over the years. I’ve always thought that he would be an excellent candidate for psychedelic treatments but the legality and negative stigma attached ensures he will never become one.

Yes of course. If people don't want democracy anymore what would be a better way to end it than with a vote?

Also though, just because he wins doesn't mean he can actually deliver that promise. Most democracies have multiple layers of laws that would have to be passed after the election and would probably result in civil war without a super majority.

Conspiracy theories aren’t your doctor being wrong. It’s going home, testing a tooth, then mentioning it to your doctor and he says “that’s just what they’d like you to believe” and then comes up with an even more bizarre explanation for why your tooth dissolved, or just dismisses you as a shill for big cola.

I suspect your dentist in this case would just say “oh, I guess I heard that at some point and never thought to actually check it.”
Super cool! Thank you for sharing.
Funny story, well, funny to me anyways. I was living in Paris and dead broke after college. I had a steady cam system to sell, and obviously, I put it on leboncoin and went to deliver it near the Bastille. I went into the apartment with a dear friend, and as we sat down to do the sale, the purchaser pulled out a gun on me and asked if we could lower the price. I laughed, out of panic, and said something in French to the effect of, "Bitch, I'm from Detroit", I then realized, the gun was in fact a toy, and the purchaser relented. I gave them a 10 euro discount, and they made us both a nice proper pastis and we all eventually had a laugh. I haven't used the website since.
I would expect this to be a consequence of the "do what you love" mentality that seems to be popular of late, especially when coupled with irrational educational decisions ($250k for a social work degree at NYU etc).

It's almost as if the "oh i actually need money" epiphany only happens later in life and leads to the dynamic you mentioned.

> Anyone who lived in or visited a third world country and watched people produce works of astounding precision and perfect finish with their bare hands will understand that in the 1st world we are just not very capable with our hands since the industrial revolution.

This is too true. I realised this in the last few years after getting into wood carving and deciding to learn how to sharpen a blade properly. You don't need some fancy contraption or machine to put a good edge on a knife or other cutting tool, using just my hands and eyes with a few small stones I can put a consistent razor edge on just about anything. It's shocking to me how common it is for people to have dull or completely blunt chefs knives in their kitchen, freehand sharpening is a basic skill that I think 90% have the dexterity and capability to learn, but proper hand skills just aren't a priority anymore.

A lot of still quite relevant traditional building methods are being overlooked or forgotten too, a relative who does slate roofing and various other work for housing in the UK often expresses dismay at the state of building education and common practices.

I have a hope that eventually hand skills for maniplation of objects in 3D space might once again become something of a priority, with some kind of future haptic technology. See Bret Victor's excellent Humane Representation of Thought talk - http://worrydream.com/cdg/ResearchAgenda-v0.19-poster.pdf He doesn't know exactly how such technology could be made exactly, just that it probably will one day and we should think about designing software and interfaces to build towards that.

Ask HN: When did 7 interviews become “normal”?
edit: I love this community! Thank you so much for all the insight. For those who complained, I'm sorry if this post comes across as complainy or redundant, I respect the HN hive-mind and was genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts on the matter.

Hello fellow travelers, I'll do my best to keep this brief(ish).

I've been in IT professionally since Y2K, data entry->QA->SysAdmin->PM->consultant->founder->sold and with the money took some years off, bought some property and a fixer upper and went to school and got a BSBA degree (never graduated from high school but wanted to show my kids the importance of a degree). I missed working and creating things with people so decided to reenter the job market in the PM space. So now that my hat is in the ring I have been told by recruiters what I need to "expect" in this "new market."

I was told "5 to 7 interviews is normal". What? I genuinely feel like I'm having a 'Blast from the Past' moment in this whole thing (good 90s romcom kids, look it up).

When did a hiring manager lose their authority and the trust of the organization to do their job? Am I just out of touch? How is a process like this in any way shape or form efficient or productive? Am i missing something? HN, please help!
I write data that makes sense to have as normalized in YAML format even if I'm not parsing it in any program because I may do so in the future and YAML is ergonomic.

But for things that shouldn't be normalized I write then as plain-text notes using markdown notation. It isn't true that nothing can parse plain text. I wrote a tool to do that and it works as expected. Of course it's bad design if you look exclusively from the software engineering perspective but ergonomics also matter and parsing text isn't hard.

Don't get me wrong also. I'm just a guy with peculiar use cases and bad experiences migrating away from Evernote and later Joplin.

Okay. The problem is something like "social knowing doesn't naturally scale" but the entirety of the problem is how to make it do so effectively without ill side effect. I'm curious if you've gone the further step on how the system may simply iterate the current state. What ends do you seek? Most important... What have you done to start solving this problem?

Question from someone that has never played with stocks: when someone like the writer or some random friend tells me that stock X is undervalued or overvalued, do they really have any objective way to evaluate that? What do they think they know over other people that are willing to sell the stock to them?

Over the past two years I have seen more and more friends starting to do day trading, some of them even waking up hours earlier before work to read about stocks and organize their trades for the day. Is this really just irrational gambling with extra steps? And if so, why aren’t those people, which I consider pretty reasonable otherwise, are led to believe their reasoning and knowledge will give them an edge.
> I think you're still going to bump up against scaling issues with this solution. Youtube has something like 500hrs of new content uploaded to it every minute, and I've heard speculation that this solution couldn't possibly be solved by humans because there simply isn't enough of us on earth.

Doesn't his means they've scaled beyond sustainable? As I read it, it's a good argument for them being broken up.

The thing about startup decisions is: most of them are "wrong". Or they start right and become wrong later. Successful startups aren't successful in spite of their wrong decisions, they're successful because they can change them very quickly (then write a blog post about it and get more customers).

There's also a strong correlation between people who look at things from weird angles and also build good products. Why are you surprised the people who invented an entirely new way of doing VPNs also don't cargo cult database storages?
They certainly do have a lot going on. I'm in a party so I still use it, but I only really use the dailies now.

> lossless JXL can be faster and compress better than QOI

It should be noted that it "can be", not it always is. The implementation in question [1] is currently experimental and not what you get from cjxl. In any case it is worth noting that QOI inspired both FPNG and FJXL.

I would love to get help, I have a working MVP but there are a lot of work left to get good performances for which I would love help. Some current problems are:

- Very big write amplification (the database size on disk is very large).

- The query optimizer is basically non existent.

- The query evaluation code might be easily optimized further.

There is not yet a lot of developer-focused documentation. Feel free reach out here or on Gitter: https://gitter.im/oxigraph/community

I can't say I disagree.
Actually, it seemed more like it started with a group of self proclaimed 'elites' who had more knowledge than everybody else. This group thought everyone else was stupid, so they started lying to everyone to get them to try and get them to do what they thought was best (because they thought if they told them the truth no one would care enough). This included things like "masks don't work", and "the vaccine will ensure you don't get or spread the virus".

Then when they got caught lying, they doubled down on the lies. Then when people started getting angry, the 'elites' called them murderers (without a shred of evidence) and organized angry mobs to abuse them in the media. Then when people still wouldn't comply they forcibly imprisoned people in their homes for years. Then when people fought back they got the police to violently attack them in the streets.

All this instead of just apologizing for lying and having an honest dialogue about what was and wasn't know.
They ended up with big profit, 2x their salary at that, even after the loses so can hardly call it a loser-bias.
