Glad to see that spam is still well and alive in 2022, first we had enlarge your d*ck pills in email spam, now it's moved to all the social media platforms.
You don't know their whole story, stop judging people from your high horse.
This and Sciter were clearly posted in response to (or to ride on the coattails of) Tauri's 1.0.

Sciter was specifically mentioned in tauri's thread, it's the subject of the top comment. Wener both mentioned wails in response to tauri's announcement, and posted this.
"Note: Because of our machine selection and testing cutoff times, we were unable to test AWS’s m6a instances, which also run AMD’s Milan processors.
Based on the rest of our testing, we expect that the m6a instances could have outperformed m6i."
Fantastically put and exactly the same experience I've had.

They're entirely preying on the "talking about money is taboo" that exists in our culture and it only ever benefits them. We have to all collectively (or through the passage of laws like in CO, WA, CA) draw a hard line and the sand and not give any recruiter 15 minutes or even 1.5 minutes before they provide a salary range.
These animations are painful!
If it's really bad, couldn't they apply userstyles that disable all animation with `!important`? `prefers-*` settings seem somewhat optional, best-effort, based on their name.
> number of jobs is greater than one and hours is less than forty.

It could also be the companies aren't willing to have someone on full-time, because then they'd have to pay for medical and other benefits.
Well I think that's the entire point of this article: to call attention to the overwhelming crisis of medical debt in the US, and the need for us to create a great mechanism to deal with it.

Just because we don't currently have a functioning healthcare system doesn't mean we can't have one ever. As more people are made aware of how pervasive the issue is, there will be more impetus for those in power to start doing something about it.
Not just Intel. AMD had the Platform Security Processor (PSP) that serves as similar role.
>Average nurse practitioner salary 115k. Why are they putting medical debt on credit cards?

Are you asking why they couldn't afford 70% of an average salary (which, there is a 50% chance this person made less than the average) in one shot?

Your entire post seems to be victim blaming based on a few sentences of context. You don't know what other debts and obligations these people had, nor what other avenues they tried to exercise.
You also don't have this problem if people just can't afford them and drive themselves.

Seems a bit cheap to directly jump to "socialized healthcare bad"
I think the principal is that any page with my medical details on it should not load 3rd party JS from external sources. Regardless of its reported function, it's just not ok.
Just recently started using NextDNS, and yeah, I hit those 300K pretty quickly.

I noticed that some apps/devices would continue querying pretty aggressively after being blocked, and this seemed to eat through the available queries pretty quickly.

But $20/year is such a great deal IMO it was an insta-buy for me.
I was suggesting something like bash `exec`
So just redistributing the cost across the population? I think then you just end up with more people in debt, as their incomes fall to pay the tax.
Damn it, can't escape!
I'm not assuming anything, I'm wondering about their methodology (and since it's a self-reporting survey, how people were answering the questions).

Medical debt is a huge problem but to craft solutions we need to fully understand that problem. Should, for example, insurance companies collect "deductibles" ahead of time and refund those not used, similar to how you could use an HSA? Should healthcare providers and insurance companies be required to offer 0% financing for 12 months for certain amounts or certain customers?

The vast takeaway is usually "this survey supports what I think should be done" which often results in not much of anything being done, or getting something worse than what was before.
Nothing wrong with jQuery if it suits your use case! Sometimes mutating the DOM directly is simpler and more maintainable.

IMO React is a response to a problem that not all websites have (complex state-dependent nested UIs). At a certain level of complexity it's worth it, at another level it's necessary, beyond that it's insufficient... but below that it can totally be unnecessary and more pain than it's worth :)

Now that I think about it, don't most decent screens have multiple input ports nowadays?

For speakers you can just use a Y connector. Add a wireless mouse with multiple outputs built-in (eg Logitech MX Master), or a separate gaming mouse if you prefer, and that just leaves the keyboard to switch between the two devices.
Your entire post is really rather uncharitable and judgmental towards these people but, anyway:

> Why are they putting medical debt on credit cards?

Doesn't say they did - reads to me like they built up debt on the credit card with regular living expenses while servicing the medical debt.
> The extremism of this positon makes it hard to swallow the message. You might as well be right, but accepting it at face value would be a huge cognitive dissonance for many people working in public companies.

Has that not been a critique of software engineers working at FAANGs? That they think they are working for a moral company while the “Don’t Be Evil” company mottos are replaced in the background with anti competitive practices and deals with authoritarian governments.

Tbh I think claiming that it’s an extremist opinion when there’s an entire century+ old political school of thought that views the entirety of capitalism as amoral, is either putting your head in the sand at the thought, or an equally extremist opinion on the good of companies
The correct comparison is Spanish - I wonder what's the status of education in Spanish in thr US.

But more correct case in point is Belgium. If Belgium tried to force education to be in Dutch exclusively, there would very soon be no Belgium.

I think a more interesting question is why you are shocked that in large organizations getting to the people who can change things is often difficult. This is not a problem unique to linkedin.

We shouldn't be punishing the gear on the cog that is helping turn the machine in the direction it needs to go.
Maybe HQ could triangulate the javelin man when he is googling "Javelin makes strange noises" or "Javelin not functioning" on his smartphone. And then give the coordinates to the tank crew to even the odds a little.

The billionaires like it this way so there is no change necessary.
> Speaking of gambling, you also left out theft and loss.

Correct. Theft is included in GDP, as is spoilage. As I said, it doesn't matter how 'good' people's consumption is, only that they consume. This being said, theft isn't ideal, because it could depress the prices for the items later on. Loss would be better.

> You seem to be applying a macroeconomic template. Individuals can and do behave somewhat differently.

That's correct, which is why the state - if it wishes to remain relevant - has to get them back in line, lest it be consumed by someone who does.

> I don't have any responsibility to prop up your economy with my spending and you have no responsibility to prop up mine, but please do. If I spend less and you spend more, I hope you spend it on my services and goods, so I get your money and you get my designer throw pillows or whatever.

You don't understand - it's not about "propping up an economy" - it's about making sure that people work. If you stop spending, there's a risk that it would cause you to stop working. This is the risk; the consumption itself is damaging for the economy, and it would be preferable that people lose their wages to less damaging forms of consumption (e.g. buying scalable forms of entertainment services)

> The vast majority of the wealth of the wealthy is in unrealized gains which may be spent someday, it sounds like you're calling them economically unproductive.

The money isn't economically unproductive, because money isn't what makes production, but people can be unproductive, and this is the risk.

In practice, the losses from this are very small, because it's held by a rather small billionaire elite, and so the losses to rentiers don't actually end up in a lot of real-world consumption.

> Desiring not to spend, and desiring not to earn, are vastly different.

Different, perhaps, but they are brothers. Spending = earnings + borrowing, or, conversely, earnings = spending + saving. If you don't consume, your net saving goes up, and those savings are like a ticking time-bomb that can be sprung on the economy at any time to seriously cut the GDP.

It's correct to say that you can spend less on petroleum and more on other stuff. It's even more correct to say that, from the macro-economic view, you have to. (And if you don't want, you will be forced to)

Yep. I'm dealing with a situation where speech therapy as rehab from a surgery is covered by by plan. But the hospital just submitted the claim with some general code. The insurance says they need the therapist to change the billing code. They won't allow us or the surgeon to submit anything to prove it should be covered. We have to wait for the inept therapist to change the code. All the while thousands in bills hang over our heads and we wonder if insurance will pay out.

> Why can't you also make a copy at the block level?

I don't know about CDs / BluRays but similar to what user jaywalk answered: back in the floppy disks days some copy-protection relied on physical differences created on purpose on the original game. It could be something as "simple" as damaging a track on purpose, by punching a hole in it. Then the game would try to read the data, any data, from that track. And the read command had to fail. A dumb block level copy wouldn't work: it could of course not physically punch a hole in a floppy disk.

So pirate groups would crack the game and ship a version of the game without the copy protection and these could be copied at will.
There's a political catch-22 here. Everyone that works in those departments and agencies that will be axed will fight tooth and nail to make sure it's not their department.

It's a bit like the housing crisis. We need more homes, ok well who votes on those homes? The people that already owns homes and are interested in the value of those homes going up.
“We have longstanding employee and supplier policies in place to prevent discrimination and conflicts of interest, and we take those seriously.”

Isn't adding a superfluous "and we take those seriously" the rhetorical equivalent of pouting?

Every time I read this - after an account suspension, for example - the impression I get is that no, they don't really take those things seriously. They're just improvising or leaving it for the algorithm.
> At American University, which eliminated cafeteria trays, one study indicated the move would save 13 tons of food every semester

The more interesting but unasked Q to me is, How much food would be saved if they just did away with the dining halls? People that pay for each component of each meal probably waste considerably less food than the pre-paid assembly line of junk.

No, yachts aren't scarce. If there was greater demand for yachts then people could build more yachts and increase supply.

They are expensive, but that is different to scarce.

They especially aren't inherently scarce, which is what I actually said. You missed out the most important word.

There is a natural scarcity to top sports teams or top music artists. Artists can't be cloned and there can only be one champions league final each year.
Urgent care had my girlfriend go to ER when she went in for Epinephrine shot. Because, apparently, they call an ambulance for anybody who shows up with something potentially dangerous (including EKG readings they can't read, according the the ambulance driver who took us).

We just sat on a chair for a couple hours for 'monitoring', and sure enough we got a $1700 bill from them, since she hadn't met her deductible yet.

Of course people are in debt if they get hit with bills like that.
I don’t know, but I love how clearly and concisely it expresses what would later become ubiquitous as do-while and continue.

You are right. I tried to caveat my analysis with "(according to study)". My prior is not that the study is completely accurate, but that it is accurate enough to make the broader points described. I may be wrong, and you're right that everyone should be more cautious.

But I think there is a difference between cautioning neutrally (the comment I'm replying to now) versus obliquely cautioning in a way that casts doubt with negative consequences (the comment I replied to previously).
I see any suggestion to the contrary of Socialized medicine being downvoted. Honest question. How do you propose to expand healthcare with 130% Debt to GDP and 8.9% inflation? It seems we are broke and there is a demand from the HN community to spend more? Feels like hitting the accelerator as one drives off a cliff and invokes memories of Thelma & Louise
Why does being closed source limit anything? People on hear openly shit on Apple, Google, M$, blah blah without limitations. Sure, with OSS you can leave shit comments directly on the project page, it's not like people are not screaming on Twitter or other socials about closed source stuff which I'd imagine has a lot larger of an audience than the smaller tech people looking at OSS project pages

You can do also most of networking in userspace using XDP/AF-XDP (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/af_xdp.htm...). The driver will only forward raw IP packets to userspace and everything else (like e.g. a TCP stack) resides there.
Disagree. Musicians like their platforms, but they also go where the good sounds are. There will be third party wrappers for CLAP plugins that will allow them to work in Logic or Cubase, and if high quality CLAP plugins are available (highly likely given U-he's stellar DSP record) then people are going to want to use them.

Tangential to health care debt, Some times I wonder if the only true innovation happens in facilitating debt and making huge debt seem like easily tackleable. 30yr mortgage, 15 and 10yr arm, car payments sold as “only $199 a month!”. Buy now pay later is the latest in a long line of these encouraging people to pile on debt.

I’ve never used LinkedIn support, so couldn’t say whether they would handle something like the OPs issue correctly.
I found LinkedIn a waste of time and full of bad actors, so not really surprised about this experience.

I don't think "The Atrocious American Way of Doing Healthcare" and "Rationing" are the only two options available.

Also, note that 63% of the people in debt are already literally rationing.

That’s generally been the decision the western world has settled on, which seems like an improvement in that we at least need the products to be nice
Using Fiction to Find Your Strategy
Yes. Debt is the entire story of the American economy, from top to bottom, it's not inherently evil. It's useful for creating new wealth. But of course it gets misused also.
Further, neither side (seems to) accept incremental change and loves making the perfect the enemy of the good -- especially, imo, the left -- so they get nothing and complain about it.

Show HN: Recut automatically removes silence from videos – built with Tauri
I released a new version of Recut recently, rewritten from the ground up using Rust, Svelte, Tauri, TypeScript, and Tailwind (RUSTTT stack for the win!). It's the first app I've built with Tauri and I've really enjoyed it.

Some back story: Recut is a tool I built to speed up my screencast editing workflow. It's like a lightweight single-purpose video editor. It chops out the pauses, with some knobs to tweak how closely it cuts and what it leaves in, and lets you get a live preview of what it'll look and sound like with the cuts applied. It can then export to a handful of other editors, nondestructively, so that you can use the full capabilities of a "real" video editor.

It was originally a native Mac app written in Swift, and people kept asking for a Windows version. I had learned Swift and macOS development to build it originally. So as a solo developer, I had some choices to make. Keep it Mac-only? Learn another whole language + UI framework, rebuild the app, and maintain two codebases? Rebuild the app with a cross-platform toolkit?

I'd had experience with Qt and C++ in years past, but I honestly didn't love the idea of getting back into C++ and dealing with the inevitable hard-to-debug segfaults. I'd had more recent experience as a web developer, but I was worried about performance bottlenecks. I actually started down the path of building Recut in Electron and Rust (using NAPI-RS for bindings) and it looked promising, but I was still worried about the bloat of Electron.

A few months in, I took a closer look at Tauri, and ported the whole app from Electron in a week or so. Most of the heavy lifting was already in Rust, and the UI stuff pretty much "just worked". The biggest change was the bindings between JS and Rust.

Working with Tauri has been nice. I especially like their "State" system, which gives you an easy way to keep app-wide state on the Rust side, and inject specific parts of it into functions as-needed. I also really like how easy it is to write a Rust function and expose it to JS. The process model feels a lot easier to work with compared to Electron's split between renderer and main and preload, where you have to pay the cost of passing messages between them lest you ruin the security. Tauri's message-passing has a decent amount of overhead too, but I dealt with that by avoiding sending large amounts of data between JS <-> Rust and it's been fine.

The Tauri folks on Discord were a big help too (shout out to Fabian for the help when I ran into weird edge cases). I think Tauri has a bright future! Definitely worth a look if you know web tech and want to make cross-platform apps.
