There is a one-to-one relationship between "amount of the loan" and monthly payments. I don't see how that's relevant. Do you mean the length of the loan? Banks don't give mortgages to 100 year olds because they know they won't be able to afford the monthly payment in 20 years (because they are dead), it doesn't matter of the loan amount. Even for a 50 year old, I would expect it would be hard to find any bank give you a loan for longer than 15 years. Each bank is different and a cursory search shows that some banks consider giving you a mortgage if the end date is before you turn 95. The point remains, this has nothing to do with amount.
In general with the the embedded Pythons, they are 2 or 3 orders of magnitude slower than C (big surprise) and they don't support all the hardware features. By necessity, they have a one-size-fits all approach that works fine for hobbyists but might not be sufficient for production. That all said, I love to bang out a prototype or one-off project with CircuitPython or MicroPython. Or Arduino if it makes sense.
Ask HN: What are some mentally healthy apps to have?
Like many of us, I’m in a battle to minimize social media and related apps influence over my life. But I’m not at a point where I want to just toss my phone in the corner and forget about it either.

I’m looking for some apps that people use and get genuine value out of. Can I learn something while I’m bored on the couch? Keep up with some unbiased news while I’m using the toilet? Etc

But who would listen? There are already people who do this work for free, no billionaires needed, but we're all told not to listen to anything they say on pain of being classed as an anti-science "denier" / conspiracy theorist / etc.

Fundamentally, 97% of scientists (in this study) refused to share their data because the people paying them don't care. The people paying them also wouldn't care about whatever your billionaire foundation would say, and in fact many would class it as a right wing misinformation operation. Then you'd be blocked from Twitter, downranked on Google, blocked from YouTube and you'd be unable to hire the "best" people because they'd be socially ostracized for joining.

The problems here are really very deep, and they're social in nature. You can't fix it by simply pointing out the problems because everyone who looks already knows what the problems are. They're obvious and numerous. Fixing them requires fixing the incentives but politicians, the media and large chunks of the electorate refuse to acknowledge that research fraud can even exist at all (the "believe science" brigade).
I have a giant park near me, and a lake. I love it and I go there almost every day, sometimes more than once. But it's monotonous over time, same routine, same routes. It engages your autopilot and then you are just cruising through the day with no positive stress.

It's different. I may not enjoy being with people, but I like being around them. Maybe because Manhattan is just so different from everywhere else, and provides a special level of intensity.

There are times I see a company with englishword.com and it has nothing to do with their company and therefore I can't remember it. Lemonade.com? Oh yeah, insurance.
“We expect”. Rather than expecting, let’s look at what CR says about Tesla.

Consumer Reports states that Tesla’s Model 3 has average reliability. The Model Y still has body hardware issues with the tailgate and door alignment, paint defects, and multiple other problems. The Model X and Model S have body hardware, climate system, and in-car electronics problems. All three models are well below average.

The computer was not flying it. The computer was actively fighting the pilot, who was desperately trying to keep it flying, while the computer was forcing it to crash instead.

A lot of companies had their true purpose of riding the VC wave and living off their money by dazzling them with ever-increasing numbers. They would never have been profitable in a good day, let alone in the current storm.

The VC wave is over, and so is "growth & engagement". Now the only way to survive is to actually make money from selling your product/service and saving that money instead of burning it on expanding the engineering playground where complexity was considered a feature.

Most institutions are very slow to react by and large since there is a big lag between on-ground reality and financial data. This is why you'll often see experienced investors and fund managers often defer to their "gut instincts" and talk a lot about subjective experiences ("I feel") vs just hard data.

The reasons aren't good. If the DAS posted elsewhere in this thread is accurate then they don't want to be seen as "shaming" people, but the behavior they detected is simple promise breaking. The researchers stated they'd share their data, benefited from the aura of respectability that claim created, and later refused. And this behaviour was absolutely widespread: more than 90% of the papers selected didn't provide data as promised.

That's the sort of behaviour that actually should be shamed, right? Why shouldn't people know whose word can be trusted and whose shouldn't? It's a very silly form of ethics that defends the honor of those who deliberately lie for profit. It also totally devalues the efforts and integrity of the tiny minority who did do things by the book.

The actual reason they refused to share their own data almost certainly has nothing to do with ethics. It's because they don't want to make 3500+ enemies within their field.

I think the point here is that any code on your system is a potential security liability, regardless of whether the relevant feature is active. Removing linked in code removes potential security liabilities and as such it is always a good thing.

> What qualifies as a medical error?

If we just classified things that are obvious. Wrong medication applied (ie paper says to deliver 10mg of Advil but you got a vitamin C tablet), wrong leg amputated, wrong patient data looked at leading to a bad diagnosis. We would likely find a large number of incidents, however no way on earth will you get the American medical cartel to report on them honestly.
I do not think the message is "here's another bad thing".

It is underlining that lots of people are focusing on conflicts between scooters, bikes and pedestrian have to use walkable areas and fringe of streets/roads for moving and parking.

But overlooking that probably 90% of the space is dedicated to cars (driving and parking) and that is not up for debate.
Not in my experience; 32 bit MCUs are cheap and powerful these days and reducing the development time by a significant margin - our projects have seen 15-30% reductions compared to our equivalent C estimates - is well worth considering. I'd be more worried about senior engineers that didn't take that seriously.
It's always nice to spot a bad argument when someone is comparing a harmless action to a harmful one, since in my example only the end result was changed from not fining them when they should have been to actually fining them. These things are not allowed on sidewalks and the fine is the same for all vehicles regardless of type.
My initial comment was very vague and I'm glad to see others have replied to fill in the gaps. If your service/system has a sufficiently large configuration space, like say, Kubernetes, then a typed configuration language can greatly improve the development experience by spotting errors early on. You get a very fast feedback loop that you set the wrong value for some config option before attempting to deploy the change. Different services will give you appropriate feedback about wrong config options but that is sometimes a few steps removed from your development environment e.g. You might find out after you push a PR and CI/CD fails or after you merge the PR even.

The type system also has great second order benefits like allowing us to build an language server protocol implementation for CUE that has rich diagnostics, auto-complete, jump to definition, rename symbol features. Something that cannot be done _as well_ effectively in untyped languages.

I'm still scratching the surface. CUE does more than add types to config and I would encourage you to dig into it if you have spare time. By virtue of providing a great type system, it also manages to reduce boilerplate as yet another second order benefit. Boilerplate reduction is something where tools like Jsonnet attack as a primary goal but over enough time you're back at having seas of untyped config and indirection that are hard to navigate or contribute to and you're back at square one.
Domain name requirements depend on your customer base and the business that you're in (eg, enterprise software, crypto, or developer tools? completely different expectations). There are no general rules

I use Github to blog my ideas (see my profile) if you're looking for thoughts to read of or ideas for projects it might be worth a look. Ideas4 is more technical due to having ideas of datastructures and programming language theory.

I created a wordpress blog but I didn't want to pay for it going forward. I bought a powerful Hetzner machine as I wanted something to play with at the same time. But my desktop was powerful enough for playing. So on GitHub people can use issues to reply to thoughts and I create a new repository when I get to 100 ideas per post. I have people submit examples of the ideas going forward when they are created. Or if I didn't know the idea already existed.

I use Github as my social network and share my code and try use it to talk to other developers.

I might depend on where you are. In Milwaukee scooters being parked improperly (really, ditched on the sidewalk) was a huge problem (they’re not back yet this year). Even the scooter companies would set them out blocking walkways, bus stop exits, etc.

It got better when the city finally started designating scooter parking areas on the streets last year, but they were too spineless to remove parking spaces in business districts so it was still a problem in those areas.

IMO the scooters would be great if we could designate parking areas on every busy block and have a system to strongly encourage parking there, but until then (as someone who doesn’t drive in the city) I don’t miss them that much.

In Tel Aviv scooters have basically taken over sidewalks, but the local government is definitely partly to blame due to lack of enforcement.

> It’s interesting to look at the evolution of Los Angeles as an example of a city that already exists being radically changed, entire blocks of buildings were demolished to make downtown roads so wide

I'm not sure giving LA, one of the poster cities for how not to do urban design, as an example, is a great idea.

Paris did the same thing, only in a much more measured fashion, in the 1760s under Haussmann and Napoléon III.

However destroying parts of a city which is thousands of years old just to increase the size of sidewalks would be to destroy historical monuments for minimal gains. If anything, making most small streets pedestrian and bike only sounds smarter.

I wrote the most widely used implementation of ID3v2 (TagLib), and honestly, it doesn't even both implementing most of the really absurd parts of the spec, and nobody's ever asked for them. There are some things that I did implement (mainly at the generic frame parsing level) that have never been tested because I wrote them before unit testing was common (~20 years ago), and I've never seen a file that actually uses them.

The ID3v2 spec is actually a complete disaster, horribly misjudging what was needed. Xiph (Vorbis) was a lot saner, but they didn't account well for people wanting to store binary data in tags (cover art, mostly). An almost perfect system would simply have been a property system with key / mime-type / value; mime-type could even have been restricted to 8-ish values (a byte) for simplicity.

Hello, do you have plans to interop with an established selfhosting distro and package scheme? Yunohost, Freedombox and Libreserver come to mind. If you'd rather go the containerized/virtualized way, there's a dozen or so distros based on Docker/LXC/K8S to make selfhosting easier.

I'm always happy that people are building stuff for selfhosting (though like others i'm skeptical of anything cryptocurrency-related), so please don't take it as a dismissal of your work, but i don't understand the appeal of building yet another solution and package format that's not interoperable with the others who have been out there for 5/10 years and provide good services to plenty of users already.

To be fair, apart from Dockerfiles there's not exactly any decent specification for declarative sysadmin (network ports, filesystem access..). The selfhosting field could certainly use a specification for selfhosted packages across distros, because the current situation places a strong burden on volunteer maintainers to keep up with updates.
Really? Amsterdam has literally millions of bikes left unsupervised. Paris is fine in the most parts. I'm fairly certain some German cities should be fine too.
In other words, there’s no free lunch. Regulations can be incredibly expensive to support and almost always stifle innovation and increase time to bring a product to market.

I wonder what that would mean in practice. Optimising for your own feelings is easy, but when you have 100s, let alone millions, of users, what can you possibly know about their feelings? How about conflicting feelings, within the same person, or between different people?
iTunes supports play count and always has, and I and friends have made use of it extensively (albeit for ourselves not shared) including for things like smart playlists where it's great for natural curation/discovery. Now that it's mentioned, I don't actually know if iTunes made use of the ID3v2 tag or its own database for that. Our music libraries are synced across devices and it seems to carry around fine, or at least close enough since a bit of fuzziness doesn't actually matter much in this case. A play count of 60 vs one of 61 or 62 isn't particularly meaningful since both show roughly that this is a song you have listened to quite a bit.

It is useful though. In the iTunes implementation at least I think (I haven't checked in a decade or more, it was like this once but not sure about the latest) it only advances when a song is completed, not when it's started. So having a song come up one doesn't like that they immediately skip will appear in the number as the years go by.

The amount of exposition varies based on a number of factors, but anything is better than nothing.
