For most of agricultural history people didn't eat raw vegetables at all, and only some raw fruits. Before the advent of modern agriculture night dirt was a common fertilizer and a serious vector for disease. It's still unsafe to ear raw fruits and vegetables in parts of the world with bad sanitization. I know a few people who have gotten seriously ill consuming fresh pressed fruit juice in North Africa.
I run a one-person load-balanced SaaS on Hetzner. In the 2 years since I started I've had no customer-facing outages.

Over the same period, I think there's been two outages of AWS us-east-1 and a multi-region GCP outage. Plus weekly outages of a grownup unicorn SaaS like github or slack.

It's a tradeoff: the simplicity of such a setup reduces outage risk, and the costs saved can be spent on monitoring tools or extra redundancy.
I think most people who ridicule Bing have never used it enough to know any of that. They used it maybe once or twice, found the results subpar and took that as confirmation of what they were already inclined to believe: 'Another shitty product from Microsoft.'
You didn't say why Topre is good, or how the Cherry-style switches are flawed. I'm not sure what my takeaway is, other than what you individually like.
I did that, out of curiosity, and I'll summarize what I found in case anybody else is interested:

First, it looks like the very best options for long term support is this guy https://androidenterprisepartners.withgoogle.com/device/#!/F... (Point Mobile PM30) with "Security updates until March 2028". That's 6 years of support, if a little suspicious since it's from a company with a single device on the market.

After that it looks like Samsung offers support for their devices until "February 2027", and one other company, Zebra Technologies, offers support until "March 2027". Going to 2026 adds a few more brands (Motorola, Xiaomi, Google Pixel).

So the bulk of phones have support for 4 years, there's decent options with 5 years of support, a single device with 6 years, and nothing beyond that.

Two data points for contrast:

1. I just bought a 10 year old PC that's still useful, can run the bleeding edge of operating systems, and can be upgraded and repaired easily - I expect it to have another 5 years of useful lifespan ahead of it.

2. The iPhone 6S, released in 2015, is still supported by Apple. That's a 7 year old phone. iOS 13 (released in 2020) dropped support for the iPhone 6/6+ (2014) and 5s (2013) so 6 years and 7 years respectively.

A final note: all of this is about software support - none of this is actually about useful lifespan. Two years ago my phone crapped out on me and I used a friend's old iPhone SE (1st generation, 2016) for a couple months - it was trending hard towards a trash can. The battery lasts about 2 years before it needs replacement, the glass screen breaks easily and aftermarket replacements have touch input issues, and running the latest iOS on it had things moving slower than LA traffic.

My hope is that phones hit / have already hit the end of easy performance advancement, and a focus on longevity might start to take over. But I don't think that's likely. There is pressure from things like large institutional buyers to make generic PCs last long and be endlessly repairable - it's not really clear that pressure exists or CAN exist under capitalism, for phones.
Something like No Man's Sky, except a huge procedural world instead of universe, set in a fantasy setting, might be what you're thinking?
I like how C++ gets the verbose template parameter name of RandomAccessIterator (repeated 3 times), while Rust gets T. It's sort of like he's saying, "if you choose to use C++, this is the sort of muck you'll have to deal with." He's not wrong, it's just funny.
User buys a $600.- phone and then complains about a $2.- app. It's not enough that the application is open source, it should also be completely free of charge!
We do relatively lower volume of higher value ACH transactions (ie, 20K/transaction).

What's interesting is strip invoicing is pretty uncompetitive here.

Fee for sending one invoice is $100/invoice. For every 100 invoices you are spending $10,000.

OUCH!!!

In other words, if someone was allowed to do an invoicing app in this marketplace it might do ok for a group out there. A target would be folks doing ACH payments (you need to cap per invoice including payment fees at $10 to be competitive here I think).

EDIT: Sorry, corrected to be $100/invoice from $500/invoice which is still much higher than we see elsewhere to send out an invoice.
The competitive mode in which you try to guess before your opponent, it's the standard mode now. (They've rebadged the old mode "geoguessr classic".)
Yeah I found that first article right away: It's really all that exists. The second article is just speculation (nothing actually happened).

There's nothing violent coming from the Left (vandalism isn't violence). There may be violence coming (per the second article) but as yet, the Right (conservatives) still have a monopoly on it. I stand by what I said.

In short, based on the evidence: Anyone claiming "violence from the Left" is just making things up.
Yeah this idea is pretty killer and I'd love to work on something like that. I have the past decade of experience mostly being in such zones of my own volition and it's just been such an amazing time.

I could completely picture even hiring locals who speak good English in these places to do the job being a thing to get around having to wrestle with stuff like visa requirements. Costa Rica for example has a law where if the job can be done by someone in Costa Rica, you need to hire them - But the country also has an enormously well educated talent pool (They abolished their military in the 40's to put it in on education), so there's no shortage of that at all.
An example I've seen is a dozen construction workers on a big job site whose phones push-to-talk goes to the speakerphones of everyone on their team. This functionality was big with Nextel phones/service in the early cellular era.

>I don't see anywhere I've talked about our "incredible journey" on the post either? This is a little baffling.

I'll step in to defend the OP because I know where they are coming from: your article is a drop in an ocean of a certain genre of article that HN has encountered over the years and we've devised certain aphorisms to describe them, and by association, describe the authors.

One of those is that the author is complaining, praising, making a statement about something that shows they are severely out of touch with reality. Usually it's some kind of a self-congratulatory or self-aggrandizing thing that completely glosses
over red flags - like say somebody building a very eco-unsustainable house in British Columbia's mountain ranges while fawning over how eco-friendly they are in the details, missing the larger scale of problems they are (intentionally?) ignoring. Being flush with tech money does funny things to people.

Often times, however, we've seen the opposite, "Our Great Journey", which has been parodied over the years elsewhere, not just HN. It describes a PR puff piece style that glosses over the fact that a company has failed/not been profitable in it's mission and is being sold off to another company. The founders, of course, would never dare say it in those direct terms, and so the PR speak is written, copied, and eventually parodied.

And eventually we arrive to what OP is commenting on, where the language used to describe rather mediocre and boring jobs is flourished with fanciful titles/words (like "empathy superpowers"). It begs to be mocked because it's such an extravagant literal style that, at this point, we can't take seriously anymore. We've seen too much of this bullshit and it cannot be unseen. We've seen too many associations of this kind of phrasing with people who really are out of touch and whatever plights they have should at worst be ridiculed, at best be completely ignored.

Basically, it's all so tiresome.

As for your post, there's not enough meat on it. Using social media as a launchpad to talk about "toxic positivity" is fairly benign - you can find just about any stupid shit on Instagram to talk about and segue into whatever moral grandstanding you want to convey. You can find both for- and against- examples. Hell, you don't even need to give examples, you can just say such-and-such is happening, and people will nod and go with it, because who are they to know better, right?
Pesticide use in conventional system can use synthetic chemistries whereas organic can only use 'natural' formulations. Thus, it is extremely difficult to compare apples to apples and most studies are flawed. Because the 'natural' formulation aren't as effective (usually), this needs to higher nominal rates.

Again, it's very dicey comparison. I'm not advocating convention > organic, but feel the need to pushback on people that think organic > conventional
This is the exact reasoning that Russia is using to justify its invasion of Ukraine.

> We are using ML and the pointy end of capitalism to create traps for the human mind (at scale). This is dangerous.

That remains to be seen, if the extent of ML thus far can be measured by it most ubiquitous use case then it's only pitfall is making people worse spellers than they already were. Autocorrect is a form of ML that quite honestly displays the MANY shortcomings at something that has been around for what? Nearly 20 years now?

While concern is the main response to new things, I'm cautiously optimistic, I'm just finding that it's use-cases seem trivial more than impactful let alone existential.
Show HN: SymForce – Fast symbolic computation, code generation, and optimization
Author here. I’m unreasonably excited to share this library that we’re open-sourcing today — our team has been building it for five years and these ideas have been a passion of mine for fifteen.

SymForce is a library that makes it easy to code a problem once in Python with an augmented SymPy API (backed by C++), experiment with it symbolically, generate optimized code in C++ or any backend language, and then run highly efficient nonlinear optimization problems based on the original problem definition. This workflow elegantly solves a wide variety of tasks in robotics and related domains, and can speed up common tasks by an order of magnitude while requiring less handwritten code and reducing the surface area for bugs. See our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.07889 for experiments (accepted to RSS 2022).

We developed it at Skydio for real-time robotics algorithms like SLAM, calibration, bundle adjustment, MPC, and system identification on our drones. It’s a key pillar of our autonomy stack that has accelerated our iteration cycle from prototypes to production systems. We are releasing it to benefit the open-source community, and think its components are useful to anyone writing algorithmic code, like students, research teams, and tech companies.

You can pip install it, play around with a formulation in a notebook, and deploy production code in a couple of hours. Try it at https://github.com/symforce-org/symforce

Farms fail all the time for a variety of reasons, but even successful farms can be less valuable than suburban residential subdivisions. If the farms in question were further from the city, better farmers would buy/rent them and the land would be productive again.
The "Build an App" link in the header 404s. Looks good otherwise!
I can't see anything here that's not solved by the simple algorithm "If someone is performing badly, help them. If they still perform badly, fire them." I don't think you need to know about their personal life. Just provide help to whoever is underperforming.
He said he wanted to move somewhere else, I don't see where he's trying to force his preferences on others.
I still belief Elop was a MS trojan horse to somehow get the Nokia phone devision to Microsoft. The whole "burning platform" memo together with hamstringing the N9 which was a great phone (I used one until the battery died some day) and OS (maybe we would not have this IOS/android duopoly if Nokia would have really pushed Meego), it all seemed incredibly unprofessional and more like the actions of someone competitor not what the CEO would do.
Yes, considering the impact to the standard library, but generics are very hard to do well. The C++ language committee is still 30 years later dealing with the fallout from the underspecified initial template implementation. Java's implementation seems to get mixed reviews.

IMO the issue is ideologies vs actuaries/statisticians ... It's shocking how both the "left"/"right" agree on many values, but also so disagree on how to achieve them.

Eg: Both sides care about children, productive economy, value of education
Not every crime can sufficiently be paid in the scope of one lifetime and more importantly not every person can be rendered safe for the rest of society in any finite term. I don't think its incompatible with the notion of justice to suppose that someone can represent an inextinguishable risk to society despite serving their sentence.

Rather than questioning the entire concept of justice one can simply question whether the implementation of justice is in this instance sufficiently sound. To give an extreme example its probably best that the prolific serial killer Gary Ridgeway remain in prison until he's dead. If our justice system were dumb enough to release him one wouldn't be obliged to accept or reject the entire concept of justice as one piece. One could simply reject whether Gary was a safe fellow to be around.

This isn't even hypothetical there are actually serial killers who are free men post conviction.

No, I remember attending parties when 1 or 2 millions of a model had been sold. At the same time Nokia sold over 100 million of feature phones a year.

Edit:

As you write they were expensive. So while Nokia was the undisputd leader in the segment for a couple of years the absolute numbers were not that big. I remember some year the worldwide phone market was 400 million a year. Nokia had over 100 million of them, but smart phones (Symbian) only single digit millions.
What are people's problems with AC units?

An AC unit is more sustainable than a furnace burning fossil fuels and electric heaters. They are just as sustainable as heat pumps.
In fairness organic is defined very differently in different countries. Wild fish are not organic in UK but farmed fish can be. Taken literally all food is organic apart from a few mineral supplements like iron tablets.
Then, CAT phones are not for you.

They are very durable, yes, but they don’t care about supporting them long term, software-wise.

> Dont put it that way. Its how we blocked entire generations who had no risks or almost none, and ruined the economy to save old unproductive people who wouldnt just isolate themselves and use drive.

I wish I knew what in your head made you form that mental atrocity. Old unproductive people? How many hard working health professionals died tending COVID patients?

The economy was affected, but it's not like it was superhealthy to begin with. Also, most countries took COVID seriously only when it was widespread within themselves, too late to contain the damage. One percent died even with proper medical care, imagine how many would have died without access because the hospitals were full? Is preserving the Jenga economy tower worth a few million lives? Sooner or later another financial crisis will happen anyway.

> The ability of people to put all responsinbility to "society" or anyone else than themselves is insane. Groupthink and tribalism driven by fear at its best

That's called living in society. If you value your absolute freedom above the needs of your own society, start packing and get comfortable in a forest cave, because civilization is not what you want. If you want the advantages of society, you gotta give cooperation in return.
Can you give an example of crucial thing?

Well this is about soil, it might also just be that organic pesticides break down better.

I don't know much about the US rules. But I also know here it's popular to say "well just because it's organic, doesn't mean it's without pesticides".

But in general the few times I've checked different researches on pesticide residue organic scores consistently better.

In practice the electorate has to make a pragmatic selection between the choices available to them. Once party leadership and policies emerge, those are your choices, neither may be ideal but that's what you've got. You might very well suspect the politician you vote for won't achieve everything they want to, but maybe they'll deliver more than the other politicians. That sounds terrible, and it's not great, but at least it's realistic.

In direct democracy there's the illusion of zero compromise, you can end up with whatever wacky or amazing combination of initiatives you like, but in reality compromises still have to be made and priorities are going to conflict with each other. Somebody still need to implement all of that.

I just think it makes sense that the person (or party) doing the implementation and deciding on the compromises should be the person who made the commitment.
The state of affairs is definitely dark. However the best way to improve this in the current system is to spend money on the phones that promise and deliver long support lifecycles.

Ask HN: General Purpose Templating Engine
The title attempts to distill the essence of the question, however, I suspect my lack of terminology in this area may make things more difficult.

What I'm looking for is a standalone general purpose templating engine. I envision this to meet the following criteria

- Available as a single binary with a CLI interface

- Ingests common data formats (i.e. JSON, etc.)

- Exports textual data of any format

The primary use-case is not generating HTML, but rather various textual data with differing structural requirements. It's very hard to search in this space because you're inevitably met with Javascript solutions aiming to template HTML. I'd prefer not to be tied to a JS runtime and the idiosyncrasies of trying to template HTML.
It was capacitive touch. The catch was it was not bonded to the lcd like more modern smart phones are. This meant that it was a 5 minute job by a smart 13 year old to replace the digitizer without needing to replace the lcd.

I loved my N8. Built-in FM transmitter was awesome. And don't get me started on how many times it got dropped and laughed it off. At least 50 times onto concrete and such.
I'm no fan of communism, but one thing I think communism did better is that allotment gardens and and small cottage gardens where much more attainable under communism for poor people. So even poor people could grow their own food.
I live in Ontario where the price of real estate is bonkers. If you own land, you can't even build a shed without there being a main building. And you can't build anything under 800 sqft. The high property taxes and real estate prices make it basically unaffordable for most people.

It does sound like a lot, and I’ve only measured once.

The fridge is in a cabinet, enclosed on 3 sides, so maybe it’s not letting enough hot air out ?

I could be wrong, but I think it was stated as using 184 kWh / year (at room temp 22C, optimal conditions), which is just over 0.5 kWh/day, and considering that the summerhouse is usually cooler than that (12-16C) when unoccupied, I would assume it used even less power.

As it is, for this entire week, the heat pump has (self) reported using 1.8 kWh/day, and according to my power company, my daily consumption has been 1.8 kWh/day. Considering that there are 5-7 IoT things plugged in, the fridge probably isn’t using much power.
