Youtube comments are useless for both criticism (generally censored, either by the video creator or by youtube itself) and praise (virtually always vacuous.) The only thing they are good for is adding context or relevant anecdotes. E.g. a video about an engine may have comments from retired mechanics who've serviced that engine before.

It really depends on what kind of content you're watching though. For wide swaths of content on youtube, there is nothing worthwhile that can be said in the comment section, either because youtube wouldn't show that sort of comment, or because there's earnestly nothing to be said.

You don't have to rent the tools from Apple. There are plenty of other options.

I have the iFixit battery kit from a previous replacement and through work have access to a bench full of tools of this kind of stuff.

People that don't have that can buy the iFixit tools individually. They sell a battery with a minimal set of tools (a $5 adder) but there's doesn't seem to be an option to buy that same minimal set without the battery so you'd need to get a more general purpose set for $25 or $70.

Maybe a friend has the tools. Maybe there's a local Makerspace or library that has an appropriate set of tools.

Another good WYSIWYG front end is LyX: www.lyx.org . I've written a few hundred physics lecture notes with it, as well as a number of Beamer presentations. I find it much easier to use than TeXmacs (mainly because of keyboard shortcuts), and the output is excellent. And yes, it produces true TeX/LaTeX.
This seems like a poor option for this price range.

*Bitcoin Actually Created Inflation* (What? the FED pumped money from thin air and it's Bitcoins' fault)

*Unresponsive To Higher Costs* (There's more to cost then cost of goods -- you know, like there's a market involved)

*Lack of Transaction Demand* (why transact an asset that's volatile, but apricating so quickly?)

*Failed Security Promises* (not sure WTF he is talking about)

*Stable Coins Shouldn’t Be Volatile* (so BTC is now responsible for Stable Coin prices?)

Ask HN: How do I find a good home improvement contractor?
My wife and I thought we were doing adequate due diligence in finding contractors for our new furnace, roof, and deck. Frankly, only the roof turned out great. Although they passed inspections, the other projects are mediocre, with ‘craftsmanship’ that looks like I did the work. Any suggestions for what to do for better results in the future?

I was watching a video by one of Amazon’s distinguished engineers a while ago and for the life of me I can’t find it now but the thing that stuck with me from it is,

“There are only three modes for a distributed system - it implements paxos/raft itself, it relies on a data store that implements paxos/raft or it’s wrong.”

Obviously a bit of an over simplification since there have been some advancements in that area but not far off.

This article introduces an approach that falls under the second mode and I think it’s a good way to build a distributed system without having to re invent the wheel especially if you can just rely on the data store for the consensus and make your brokers and nodes relatively dumb.

Look at k8s and etcd for a very widely used example of this approach as well.

I’m also currently building a distributed search engine using etcd for the service registry, broker peer announcements, and worker queue and it’s been a good experience so far.
Bitcoin isn't going to replace the USD anytime soon. USD stability is legendary.

But imagine living in Argentina and working and saving your whole life just to see your life savings wiped out in a two week timeframe.

This looks like a textbook brand extension [1] issue.

Your brand is privacy. You built it on your search product. You're compromising those principles, perhaps reasonably so, in extending the search product's brand to a browser. This is coming back to bite the brand, search and all. (Per the Wikipedia article, it's highly recoverable.)

With human pilots in the loop, this never scales beyond a cute novelty.
First, spend decades building a big enough network to encompass every possible skill. Then, ask your question. It sounds like a coy dismissal, but it's true. You either spray and pray on public forums, or you build your own collection of someones who know someone.
In the case of bitcoin I wouldn't be copying keys. The key I generate will almost certainly be different than all the other known keys.
Gold is a useful material for some use-cases, and people want it because it's pretty. Even if its intrinsic value is overshadowed by store-of-value value, BTC has nothing on that front.
As per Wikipedia, a distributed system is: "a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another from any system."

You're describing consensus algorithms.
While initially "Graviton 3" has catched my eye - I didn't know AWS has it (I'm almost not using AWS except DNS), after reading the article, especially part on:

> the things which don't work on Graviton 2 — hotplug devices and cleanly shutting down an instance via the EC2 API — also don't work on Graviton 3

I've realized, it provides one more evidence of, let's politely say, lack of interest for FreeBSD.

May be massive commenting and discussion on HN will make me think otherwise. Or may be lack of comments will prove it even further.
As a consumer they're hoping to interest you with better technology, usually a better mobile app experience.

The business model is to partner with a smaller bank and earn credit card like interchange income on debit card transactions due to the Durbin amendment. No other business model needed if you can get a bunch of consumers using a debit card. This applies to U.S. fintech's offering debit cards anyway.

> For instance, if you search for “buy ps5” they don’t need a secret profile to show you ads for a PS5.

Sorta. The real money is from competitors. How much would Microsoft spend to convince someone interested in a ps5 to to spend $500 on an xbox instead? Sony wouldn’t spend as much as Microsoft here except to outbid them out of that ad.

And you’ve just shown your hand at having $500 to dispose, maybe a local casino ad would fit well here?

While the geographies of gaming consoles overlaps well, it doesn’t for automobiles, restaurants, service providers (mechanics or dentists or whatever).
I bought a mechanical keyboard with clicky blue switches and brought it to work at my open office company.

> Is this feedback process the explanation for why those previously underperforming and frequently complained about government departments have now been fixed?

Perhaps the constant demonizing of public services by private interests, (who btw often rely on government contracts to function), and certain politicians bought by these interests could be a contributing factor in why not?

But let me hear about how private healthcare and broadband is killing it please.

Programmers who frequent HN are known to be multifaceted specialists who can debunk and upend entire swaths of advanced study by only skimming the abstract. That is why we come here, to see that magic first hand.
You've smoothly shot right past solid ground (evolution doesn't design things) to a fairly wild claim (rock-throwing apes didn't experience evolutionary pressure to get better at throwing rocks).

Orangutans aren't humans, so what are you saying, apes which don't throw rocks to kill their prey don't... throw rocks to kill their prey?

Get recommendations from friends or neighbours. If at all possible, choose a contractor who lives in the same town or locality as you do.

They recommend empathy. However, businesses trying to communicate that they care about their customers by feigning empathy (“we are sorry to hear you’re encountering this issue with our awesome product”) but not actually acting like they care (not providing useful information, not engaging with the actual problem, not actually fixing the issue) is what comes across as toxic positivity for me. At least in a business relationship, communicating empathy is a turn-off if it’s a replacement for actually being helpful.
Surely you jest but truth be told this is the direction I have been watching companies move albeit slowly and carefully.

Microsoft are slowly baking in this concept into Windows 10/11 to become more like an XBox at least for the home version. I envision a future version of windows will operate very closely to the method you described. I suspect all of the OS vendors want an app store in front of everyone whenever possible and telemetry to see what needs tuning to keep interaction with the app store as high as attainable. I do not believe it would be a stretch to see a future home version of windows not allow login if their authentication servers can not be reached or if ones cached remote credentials expire.

I could even see this eventually happening with Linux. The latest version of the Fedora desktop F36 interacts heavily with admin.fedoraproject.org and they have an app store. AFAIK Redhat/IBM have not yet implemented any centralized authentication servers with corresponding default client configurations to utilize them and I do not know if they intend to.

Laying out books. The fact that all of this can be done in a text file, without hidden codes and being tied to this file format or another, is extraordinary. Images are easily handled, fonts simply work (XeTeX & friends work well for me), and — with sufficient warnings — these files can be handed over to an author and edited without messing much, if anything, up. The PDFs generated work well with all the PDF tools I've attempted to use on them, and there's none of the weirdness that too-often shows up in Word or other WPs. If all you want is good-looking text, generated from truly basic documents, it will give it to you without effort.
They are on F-Droid, which is an alternative Android app repo for open source apps (in fact I think the team builds the apps from source themselves). In addition to their requirements, they audit apps [1] and have been audited themselves [2]. The repo also lists any concerns (eg if the app has tracking) in the description, though the vast majority have no issues. And afaik there has not been a single case of malware (even though similarly sized repos have had them [1]). F-Droid is by far the best place to get FOSS privacy-respecting apps.

However due to the stringent requirements, you can imagine that the selection is smaller. For simple everyday things like a phone dialer, contacts app, gallery app, calendar, etc, Simple Mobile Tools will show up near the top of the list on F-Droid. A lot of alternatives are just old and unmaintained. Simple Mobile Tools gets the job done and has a decent UI, so you can uninstall whatever sketchy bloatware your phone came with and use these instead.

TLDR: if you care about FOSS and privacy, these are often your best option.

Completely anecdotal case in point: I live on what used to be a farm. Last year was the first where the well below the house did not carry any water despite moderate rain throughout the year. Instead, heavy rainfall in the last days carried away the top soil layers and washed them off the fields and onto streets and playgrounds.

To me, the explanation that lower layers have been compacted and now block the water seem pretty reasonable.
I think that they don’t need to know or research or ask about other brands is the point. It’s like you know that Monster Cables will be sufficient.

That said why would such a person want a mechanical keyboard but not want to out in the effort to learn about them? I’m guessing it’s for dabblers or people who’ve heard of mechanical keyboards and it’s more an impulse buy than an investment.

We might not be talking about the same lua! Like I kind of hinted, I think it's likely very good for expert users to build tools on.

I'm not an expert user of anything though, or building tools. My professional experience of it has been using ancient versions that are embedded into C or C++ systems to build simple guis and automation within those systems. I don't think it's well suited to this, but this is a common (I believe even it's original?) use case!

I've never used luajit, or any version where I had full control over the runtime at all. I understand people love this language and I'm not saying they're wrong to. But for the things I've needed to use it for it has not been enjoyable at all, particularly 5.1 which is the one I have the most experience with by far.

It's very simple:

1) software renders not Unicode characters but font glyphs

2) which font glyphs are chosen depends on many factors like installed fonts, OS, language/region settings, and so on

3) people author (and read) characters by how they look on their systems, what codepoints are used is not on anyone's mind

A differently configured system can uncover incorrect codepoint choices or rendering differences across machines, exactly what happened with the author of that tweet (supposedly living in Europe and not having the same old Windows machine as ones used in CCP apparat).

In fact, this happens all the time and is a routine headache for anyone building CJK sites viewed from different countries in the region (for example, I see some traditional Japanese characters, instead of their simplified Chinese versions, on http://cs.mfa.gov.cn/wgrlh/. Is there a hidden meaning? Is the site fake?). When it comes to MS Word and IME in old Windows versions, things are even wilder. I doubt the tweeter didn't know this, most likely it's a stall tactic.

CJK is a hot mess, but it is what it is.

Yes, I did do quite a few iterations on both GPT-3 and DALL-E 2. Its hard to say exactly how many because I also tweaked the prompt a few times, mainly to try and get a story that was longer than a few sentences and not just "I met an robot. It was scary at first, but now we are friends. The End." For the DALL-E 2 illustrations, I also re-rolled a handful of times to try and find a 'child' that looked relatively similar across the images.
The one thing that bothers me about having all that pricey gear on an RV is what keeps people from stealing your panels, starlink, etc from a remote primitive site?

I mean some people will be using the RV for work, so will be present a lot but for the folks that park and go hiking or fishing a lot, what then? Some folks will handwave this away but we've had a lot of break ins at local boat landings. I can only assume the primitive camp sites are similarly vulnerable
LaTeX? I just use TeX. The documentation for TeX is clear, very precise, and much shorter.
