Nope, domain names dont require a dot.

<domain> ::= <subdomain> | " "
<subdomain> ::= <label> | <subdomain> "." <label>

> Split the second string by dot. If the last string of that array is not a valid TLD, it's invalid. (I realize new TLD's are popping up these days, so this step may not be strictly needed)

Doesnt need to be a "valid TLD" to be a valid domain
Is the money in your bank account a real store of value?

Do you not notice what’s been happening to it at an accelerated pace over the last 30 years?

I’m not arguing for bitcoin either way. But I implore you to take a hard look at your definition of real value in a system with inherent inflation that forces you to speculate in order to preserve any “real value.”
Flagging is very easy to game.

Maybe if we all get into that game, then it will stop.
You don't need to worry about unknown radioactive exposure. We have a very good monitoring system that will detect even very minor releases once they become distributed. The reporting channels in the west are trustworthy too.

In addition we have widespread atmospheric monitoring as well. You can circumvent that by releasing only substances that are not watched, but I don't think that's that easy, and you'd have to do it intentionally. Eg anything connected with fire will show up.
There is a cafe chain in Russia that charges by the minute but most drinks are free. They tried to expand to the U.K. in the mid-2010s, but their test cafes failed, and they pulled out after a few years.

No, it isn't.

Virtue signaling requires that you say these things only for attention or praise. Your definition is equating a suggestion of change with virtue signaling.

Having an opinion != virtue signaling.
value delivered is not always proportional to time spent working. it's like the proverb of the engineer who fixes the machine by whacking it with a hammer. $5 to hit it, $995 for knowing where to hit it.

even a "simple" home HVAC project can involve a bunch of different subcontractors that work for different companies, have different schedules, etc. without knowledge of the industry and the individuals involved, selecting and managing the subcontractors directly would be a nightmare for the average homeowner. the general contractor can earn most of their 30% cut just by knowing who to call in the first place and getting them to show up. when you find a good one, you really want to hold onto their number.

I worked at a cafe, it worked more like a family than a business, we all got food in the evening and had fun together, the restaurant was the main life, but one shouldnt underestimate the café when it was in a good day, alot of people enjoy just coming in and grabbing togo if its good, more than enough to make up for the hangarounds/workers.

Also it seemed the more people who where actually there the more business it received.

Here is the most extreme hobby tunnel I am aware of. Burro Schmidt's tunnel is approximately 1/2 mile through granite and now a historical site

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burro_Schmidt_Tunnel
What's interesting about this to me is the way it sort of causes you to examine why certain things are acceptable hobbies and other things aren't. This particular hobby has three notable attributes:

1. It's risky.

2. The end product doesn't seem particularly useful if we set aside the mental/physical benefits. i.e.: it's done for it's own sake.

3. It's novel.

I would argue that 1 and 2 are attributes that a great number of hobbies share. Skiing, Mountain biking, football, kayaking, woodworking, sitting in a chair and playing video games all weekend. All these things carry some very specific and often non trivial risks to health or bodily harm over time.

Of course because these hobbies aren't novel, the benefits of the hobby are well understood. Our understanding of the risks and how to mitigate them are also quite a bit more understood.

It seems to me that the real 'problem' with this tunnel digging hobby is how novel it is. Which consequently leads to a lack of knowledge about what the risks and benefits may be.

Of course it's possible the poor guy is just dealing with a mental illness.

> > How can this be guaranteed? You have no control over the closest Edge function vs Cloud Server to the user.

> Because the user doesn't get to talk directly to the database. The database could be on the second floor of the user's building, but it's still going to have to get routed via an API.

But the API is colocated with the database in any sane setup. You're trying to argue "the extra hops can add up significantly", when using the plural is straight up illegal - it is at most 1 hop more than via Edge - and you still never satisfied how the Edge is "closer" to the database...

> If you're using serverless functions for your API (presumably so, given this conversation)

It's like you're not even listening to me... Cloud vendor lock-in, in this thread via serverless or Edge, is worthless. It has no benefits. You've tried for 4 comments to find 1 and you haven't.

> A true Edge function has nearly 0ms latency to spin up from cold

> Lambda as a pricing comparable

You're right, I'm sure they just fixed the top issue with Lambda, did it with no extra costs, and are passing true pricing onto you as they try to aggressively grow. No risk here.

Did you know it actually costs no extra money per request to an already running server instance? Incredible.

> Trying to describe how webpage rendering works after you failed

Not interested, you completely missed the point that BI applications are going to be long-running, therefore initial startup time - the literal only gain of SSR - is virtually irrelevant, and when you look at the median request issued by their app, by virtue of it being long running, your SSR only saved you time on the initial requests out of an arbitrarily large set of them. Your average request savings are epsilon defined on session length

> A BI dashboard is an excellent use case for SSR, because it has multiple independent components that draw data from multiple API endpoints

> This is precisely where SSR shines

Again, you failed to defend how Edge / SSR are "closer to the database" (because they're not), and now you're trying to argue SSR is going to load API endpoint data faster again? Come on man

I'm done with this, you were given explicit examples to work against and you just talk past my technical objection. I'm genuinely offended you are trying to say I'm the one with "cognitive dissonance" here when you sound like a cloud spokesman and can't actually defend clear technical details. Bye, enjoy giving your money to cloud companies and your time to fitting into their lock-in architectures

Why would you do something more sophisticated though, versus just using your own pixel data structures and the converting if/when you want to load/save. This is supposed to be a stand-in for image magic, not a panacea for doing image processing in Rust. Maybe start an image-processing crate if that is your interest?
I would love a return to that historic ideal, though it just wouldn't be economical on its own. It would end up being a loss-making add-on to some larger enterprise.. perhaps a bookstore or a locally funded community centre?

Hi. OP here.

I did do some reading before posting. Here are some of the threads I had read before:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21302412

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28861949

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28216287

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28023345

None of the threads seemed to have a consensus e.g. some swear by the Dell XPS 13, others say the laptop has been a crap experience more or less. Others still prefer Lenovo Thinkpad variants, and even these have those who've had negative experiences. I was hoping for a winner of some sort or at least a list of recommended laptops that I can bookmark and spend time reading reviews of. Hope that makes sense and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

The parent's regular expression covers the most egregious typos without making any assumptions about domain names or tlds. If you wanted to help out with common typos you could add additional logic to specifically check for "*@gmial.com" or other permutations of the common domains. If you wanted to get really fancy, you could even run it by an edit distance function against the common domains and warn if they're close to a common one but not quite there.

Most typos, however, are likely to be in the first part, not in the domain. The only real way to validate against those is to try the address and see.
> But yes, I'm sure Apple users are just dumber than you, and that's all it is.

I too fell for the Apple marketing cult. I was excited when I got my first MacBook. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. The keyboard felt terrible and broke frequently, the insistence of dongles to make up for the anemic port selection was a constant annoyance, the touchbar was a myopic UX catastrophe, the touchpad was worse than on PC laptops that I've used, the software was outdated, configurability and lack of control was appalling, and it was abundant with boneheaded design decisions that favored form over function. At least the screen was nice. Today it sits gathering dust in the corner.

But yes, I'm sure non-Apple users are just too dumb to appreciate Jobbesian bliss, and that's all it is.
Interesting. It doesn't work for me; I have to remember that underscores parse to italics and then "apply it in my head", rather than just reading italics, which gives them a distinctly different quality. For example, I just heard your response in my head as "Underscores still work", which is different from "Underscores still work." They also don't pop out as much when scanning text, as italics do visually. I have to spot the underscore before and after the word, and it really doesn't work if you try to emphasize more than one word. At least with the ">", it's at the beginning of the line and in a separate paragraph.
> * Or having 0.3% of your population die, and several times that disabled?

Aaaaand, also lock down for many, many more human-hours than China has.

The thing that drives me crazy about the 'liberty vs safety' debate in the west is that, by and large, the west has achieved neither.

If you want to avoid lockdowns, you either have to have zero covid, mass vaccination, or accept extremely high death tolls, and by that, I mean almost every single person who went to an ICU in the duration of the pandemic dies in a packed waiting room instead of recovering. There is no fourth option.

Zero-covid through tough restrictions, followed by vaccine rollout, preserves both liberty and safety, and I hope that next time round (and there will be a next time) people will realize that.
Or rather, it's given into the hands of those few who understand and control the algorithms.

The most valuable strategies may or may not be the most profitable. VC is about return on investment. This feels like square peg and round hole.

It is going to take a lot of failure. Government turns failure into finger-pointing. VC is comfortable with failure but only understands profit. We have a structural gap.
I noticed something different in that Reddit URL. "What's that? A new redesign? Looks cool!" Turns out, it's the old reddit experience.
We have places where you can pay to "pan for gold", i.e, get muddy and get maybe a flake of gold, so we have people paying to be 49ers.

You can pay to pick up heavy things and put them back down, so we have people paying to be stevedores.

So why not have places where you can pay to dig tunnels? With proper supervision and a bit of safety gear, it could be quite nice, you could even allow people to purchase memberships for "their tunnel" and compete with others ...
Some communities exist for a single purpose. Rule 2 on that subreddit: Posts must ask for advice. If you want to loop the community in on your personal story, you do have to post it elsewhere.

It's just like this community - we don't allow offtopic posts either. Except instead of a small modteam, we have people who have a certain amount of karma to "remove" (bury) the post.
It doesn't run linux anywhere near as well as a X1 Carbon. I get daily crashes on a fresh install on a M1 Mac after only a couple weeks of having it. My X1 Carbon has been running strong for nearly a year with no memorable crashes during that time period.

I wouldn't call that a "great" story since it was ultimately not just pointless but actively harmful to everyone.

Dashrath Manjhi's story is one I would qualify of "great", after his wife sadly died from what he perceived was a delay of care due to his village remoteness, he resolved to straight carve a roadway through the ridge abutting his village (over which the nearest town was located). Spent 20 years carving a 110m long and 9m wide road through the ridge, apparently with hammer and chisel.
Well, certainly not Apple's, because there is no way to buy it and put it in non-Apple hardware.

Are the sentences in the dataset supposed to be correct? (specifically, the `.utt` key)

Seeing some strange results in multiple languages, that don't look correct. Even some English ones look incorrect (but not a native English speaker, so maybe I'm wrong). Here are some examples:

- "i want to play that music one again"

- "what's that the album is current music from"

- "which alarms do i have"

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the dataset...
From the wiki source, my inference is that the tunnel is at least 4 inches long if he was able to line it with 4x4 boards... But aren't 4x4 boards typically called "posts"? I'm amused by how poorly Time reported this.

Good for them. Maybe someday the rest of us will get access to this kind of hardware through a less walled-garden vendor that actually lets us use it for something other than running a Mac.
Doesn't feel right.

Any OS can virtualize Linux, so the host doesn't really matter.

Besides, it's usually the software that matters and not the OS.

There used to be a cafe like this near me in SF. Unfortunately the zoning board ruled that it was more like an office than a cafe, meaning not permitted in a retail space.

Don’t do this unless you want to get shut down.

This isn’t just “the fun police” either. Pre pandemic SF was very sensitive about tech workers/offices crowding out other elements of the city. Work-friendly cafes would be immensely popular, meaning they would take up a lot of retail that could otherwise have more “character.” Now with so much commercial and retail vacancy it’s less of a zero sum game.

I recently bought a shortwave receiver for the first time in my life. I specifically wanted something useful for when the "always-connected" stuff fails.

I completely embraced being online ever since BBSes of the early 90s. Been watching it become consolidated and controlled by an ever shrinking list of ever growing corporate influence. The internet of today is garbage compared to what we had in the late 90s.

I think there's massive potential for a resurgence of shortwave in the 2020s, a medium that can't be controlled, can reach across borders, and has become so obscure that there's no real risk of corporatization

I disagree that “no one holds rights to what is or is not misinformation” - if we take that position to its end, then we must accept that all places for public discussion are subject to being overrun by trolls or vocal minority opinion. Strong communities need strong moderation lest they devolve into lesser communities.

edit: My opinion is based somewhat on "Well-Kept Gardens Die by Pacifism"[0].

The “direct” payoff is an abstraction. Follow the code. It’s so you get money to pay for food, shelter and piece of mind, possibly status. Somewhere further up Mazlow’s hierarchy is enjoyment.

Regardless, I consider anyone operating in humanity to be mentally ill in general. It’s just, how much of your mental illness impacts the rest of us, and how much of it is abstracted away so we can quickly label it harmless (mostly to the rest of us).

Digging a tunnel the closest shit to “ain’t bothering me” as it’s going to get.

Now, if your nonsense pushes you to monopolize industries and abuse labor for profit, yeah, now your mental illness is on blast.

Few would consider that the GF is mentally ill, so obsessed with how it would look to others, so obsessed with how it’s non conforming.
Show HN: DTL: a language and JavaScript lib to transform and manipulate data
DTL is a project that began it's life as part of a another piece of software for a startup I founded a few years ago.
For that project I needed a way to describe how to rewrite data in a portable way. I needed to be able to create the rules on the fly and store them in a database, I needed them to be able to describe transformations I hadn't thought about, but also needed them to be safe and predictable. Though the startup didn't survive, the language I made was so useful to me I felt I had to extract it and make it usable to everyone. DTL is the result. Though the npm module is relatively new, the language itself has been in use in production systems for years. Over the past couple of years I have been working to make it more accessible and useful to newcomers. Though it's really powerful, I tried to make it easy to use and simple to understand so that you can get up to speed quickly and use only as much as you need.

To summarize: DTL is a javascript module and related CLI tools that are really handy for transforming data from one format to another. It's made to allow you to specify your transformations as data (JSON by default) which means they are easily shared from frontend to backend and vice versa, as well as making them easily stored in databases, etc. It can be used as part of your project to transform data between APIs, between the frontend and your database, etc. and can do simple mappings as well as complex calculations. It can also be used for validation and is really handy for extracting useful information from large / complex datasets (there are some great examples of this you can try on the website). The CLI tool (dtl) is like jq on sterooids, allowing you to slice, dice and remap csv, yaml, json or even plaintext data doing anything you can describe in a DTL transform. If you ever wished you could `grep` in complex data structures, today is your lucky day. :)

I'd love any feedback you have and if you think of anything it doesn't have that it should, I'd love to hear that too.
