When my wife and I first got married, we went to a timeshare promo (they promised a gas card and lunch for our time). I sat in the back of the presentation room with a complex analysis textbook working through some problems. The presenter saw me there, looked at what I was doing and sent us out of the room before I could damage his prospects. We did manage to talk a couple people out of buying during the free lunch (which was, as I recall, some kind of lame hamburgers and hotdogs).

On a tangentially related note, there are some carnivorous plants that have evolved away from carnivory:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_ampullaria

> Nepenthes ampullaria has largely moved away from carnivory and acquires a substantial portion of its nutrients from digesting leaf matter that falls to the forest floor. It is thus partially detritivorous.
It's been back. I don't think it ever left? There's been a couple recent updates but I wish they would give the desktop build some more attention to ux. I open it and it makes my computer unresponsive for a minute or two before the application window appears and lets me do things beyond wiggling my cursor across the otherwise frozen screen. The reddit link on the github page also still points to the old banned subreddit instead of the current one.

He hasn't been in the industry long enough to see that most of the pillars of software engineering are built on top of massive tech debt.

When I say tech debt I mean design flaws created by designer who simply could not anticipate the future. I'm not talking about bugs, mistakes or intentional shortcuts.

Whether jenkins is "tech debt" is a different topic. But whether Jenkins is here to stay past 2025 has nothing to do with how well it's designed.
Does Calibre fit the bill? The program itself is great, but it supports a plugin system that really puts it over the top. One of them automagically strips off Adobe DRM for any book loaded in to it.

They can strip when the driver bit is worn on the corners.
I love these kind of real world tests of technologies applied in the field. A great YouTube channel along a similar vein is Project Farm, https://www.youtube.com/c/ProjectFarm

While he doesn't go into the science and physics directly, he often shows the precise outcomes and results of controlled tests to compare brands against one another. It's always fun when he reads a manufacturer's claim and makes it abundantly clear "we're going to test that."
Has to be "yes" with qualifiers.

I'm sure that certain timeshares (no inflation adjustment with good governance) have aged really well, and some people that wanted access to specific locations were able to pickup timeshare rights for a song.

The problem is that the "benefit of hindsight" question requires you to compare other investments that have probably fared as well or better without the constraints/risks of typical timeshares.

So my take away is that Torx is the better system, Square drive (Robertson) is okay, and both would be a lot better then the nightmare world of Phillips we have today.

The implication that we're stuck with Phillips because Ford couldn't license Robertson is wild though: I wonder what was going on that made him so resistant to licensing.

I used to be a lot like this. Without trying to demean you, I would suggest stepping down from your awesome bubble and talk to the common people on the ground. The 99.99% of the people are not like us.

Once you learn to listen to them, a whole new world opens up.

About the payment/price; you are lowering the cost of your time way below what you should priced yourself at. Instead of me doing, maintaining, if I can buy time with a subscription the price of a coffee, I'd always go for that and free up my time just to laze around or read something or sleep under a tree. Just imagine that, not worrying if the server I self-hosted on a German ISP will go down because I paid off $9.99 a month. ;-)
That's out of reach for most Americans.
Old Reader has the best balance I’ve seen for something that’s free and maintains performance. I probably haven’t used RSS regularly enough, but I could easily live with 50 feeds to follow.
Yep. There is a term less used nowadays online and that is for good reason. User Generated Content. All the big sites operate based on this system. Build a good enough system for people to generate content on, give them a pat on the head when they do it, sit back and watch the dollery-doos come in. If you read the post you'll see I never planned to stay on Medium, without sounding like I think I know everything and I'm full of myself, I knew Medium wasn't going to be the place for my content to live, but it was easy to test it there.

That's just a complex rails application for you, at $DAYJOB we have to provision 11gb for just a single container running a single instance of the app
> Is this still true with latest iPhone?

The latest iPhone doesn't have a DAC in it for headphones. The little 3.5mm-to-lightning dongle is active -- it contains a tiny DAC/amp powered by the lightning port.

Is the tiny lightning dongle a good DAC? The answer is largely "it's fine". Anyone who isn't on the cork-sniffing side of audiophile trends will find it acceptable, assuming the amp is capable of driving the load of whatever headphones you're plugging into it.
Hi HN. I saw a different post about end of CI so I thought it was a good time to share something I've been working on.

Brisk is a way to run all of your tests from your terminal pre-commit extremely fast. So fast that we can run them on every file save and have the results waiting for you in your terminal.

The link I've shared is a side by side demo of running the React test suite the standard way and with Brisk. It normally takes 3 minutes 12 seconds on my macbook pro but with Brisk I can run it in 12 seconds.

We are at the beginning of our journey so I'd love to hear any feedback about the tool or about the problem space. Any and all comments welcome.
In some cases that seems entirely appropriate. For example, Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for ruining thousands of peoples' lives. Or what about someone who traffics a significant amount of fentanyl, leading to multiple overdoses and deaths?
I'm not sure what you mean mate?
I’m sure that can happen, but please don’t just to that conclusion just because of sex differences. I’m a man and I’ve had plenty of male doctors not listen to me as well, along with one or two very dismissive female doctors.

It’s a profession that attracts know-it-alls along with those that actually want to help but are overworked.
yes, definitely, though would hope they could do a better job of back-porting than current...
Not OP, but have put ~100k miles on my Model S in four years, and I haven’t ever worried about range anxiety driving back and forth across the US. I carry a 100 foot 10/3 extension cord that allows me to draw 48 miles of range per 12 hours from a 16A 120v outlet if there isn’t a supercharger or level 2/destination charger available, and have only had to use it a handful of times (very rural areas off the beaten path).

I also haven’t ever arrived at a supercharger that wasn’t functional, and that’s really the selling point: the UX of knowing that when you road trip, there is no anxiety. You will plug in, there will be power, you’ll only be at the charger 20-30 minutes, and your credit card will be automatically charged when you depart. Contrast to non Tesla networks where the entire state has been down for days at a time (Missouri about half a year ago).

https://supercharge.info/map

Tesla spent $800M on their Supercharger network globally to have this competitive advantage, and it covers most of the developed world; it is crucial for them owning the network to guarantee the experience to their customers (versus relying on independent charger networks for their customers’ long range fast DC charging needs).
I kind of already do that with Hacker Noon and I'm going to try to figure out a way to do something similar with Medium and so I'll have Medium and Hacker Noon pointing stuff to my own domain cryptofireside [dot] com.
Seasonal storage will not be a thing, but not for that reason, most places.

Plentiful solar farms in the tropics will synthesize ammonia and ship it in liquid form anywhere. There will be no possibility of embargo.

Cities far inland will rely on transmission lines from the coast, when local reserves run low.

Probably few places will bank more than 2 weeks' worth, locally.
I’m currently digging their Android source code and it is so outdated that it sent out a warning to upgrade the project’s gradle plugin from 3.5.* to 7.*.
Only if you use a yaml 1.1 parser. Yaml 1.2 changed the behavior of how booleans are parsed, but it's only been 13 years since it was released, so I get why people might not have migrated to it yet.
yes you are right, and due to this, I highly doubt how long they can maintain the service, hope it can lasts a long time...(though its illegal)
Ford wanted exclusivity.
Had a somehow similar experience with Strava.
I am biking these days only to commute - so doing the same boring 15km urban route 2, 4 or 6 times a week (Returns). Each time my performance would be driven by the weather, my load (public library books weight a ton), fatigue state after a long word day or a poor night, traffic, roadwork etc...not by my training consistency or motivation.
Yet the app would keep notifying me of new records beaten each time to keep me engaged by shortening time after time the distances measured,resorting down to timing every single "one block long" segment between traffic lights, stop signs or various landmarks to find new records to beat :(

"your best time is now 41sec (instead of 42 2 years earlier)" -> that's when I stopped completely using it.
You've already provided an answer, troll:

In my experience, any Microsoft Exchange/O365 server will most likely mangle the email server side (introducing quoted-printable encoding characters or changing the message-id field. Gmail will require that you enable insecure application access in order to use git-send-email. If you don't do that, then using git-send-email will result in a authentication failure error (which you can see if you use the --debug flag).

So this email-only workflow doesn't work with the two most popular email clients. Where do I sign up?

Medium and Ghost provide exactly zero value for discoverability. All views come from large content aggregators - Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, HackerNews etc.
Are some of these really beginner opinions? It's ok for the sake of a joke, but some of these reasonings are far more sophisticated that I've seen in practice from people with little or no experience.

The limitation with all these systems is the lack of filters (where I can group all messages that match a filter into a folder). It's common to support grouping feeds into folders, but I want to have a folder of covid-related articles, and one of australian climate policy etc. Feeds are often a jumble of messages on different topics (which is quite reasonable).

Feedwrangler had a very primitive version of this but anyway it's end-of-lifed.*

NetNewsWire used to have excellent filtering but it's been rewritten without them. I use ReadKit on the mac because it does have pretty good filtering. Its own rewrite doesn't have that feature yet, and sharing the filters between platforms will be a future feature. But at the moment, as far as I can tell, it's my only option.

* The developer gave everyone a year's notice and arranged a transfer mechanism to another feed service. Pretty responsible!
Can't they use DHCP leases? Thankfully, ISP doesn't show that much effort.

The best we can do is a library where you can rent pdfs.

I still can't understand why can't every public library host media that should be free and easy to get.
The OP said the service adds no value to the customer and I was specifically refuting that claim. Everyone knows that most addictive things are ok in moderation (I say most because I would argue things like cigarettes and certain other drugs have no benefits to society or the individuals who use them).
When in doubt, do something like this -- $99.99 a year (or something higher than you are thinking right now) BUT free during the beta. So, people will either stay because they can afford that or is worth it or will leave. So, you end up with users who you will likely care enough to make good features for them.
What a pleasant surprise to find you guys on HN! Massive congratulations to the team.

All those long hours in the library paid off =)

I too assumed that dedicated MP3 players were relegated to very low-budget devices, and I didn't realize that Sony was still producing the Walkman line. I decided to take a look at their line up to what was happening in the space - https://electronics.sony.com/audio/walkman-digital-recorders...

Boy... what a massive range of prices. There's a touchscreen-less device for $75, one resembling the one described by the author at $350, an $850 model with different chassis and higher output but nothing else I can immediately see, and then models jumping up to $1100, $1400, $3200 (!), and even $3600 (!!!) which is apparently made out of a gold-plated copper. I was vaguely interested in such a product but even $350 seemed too much, let alone the other ranges of products with, for the general audience, not much in the way of obvious differing benefits.
I moved to Denver a couple of years after DIA opened. I _hate_ DIA, it's an awful airport. The stupid train. The insane security lines. Baggage takes forever to come out. AUS? Great airport. PDX is a dream. SBA is my absolute favorite, like taking a trip back to the 1960s, walk off the ramp, pick up your bags from the pile they drop off. PHL? Yeah it's dirty and everything's broken, but still it's more efficient than DEN. EWR is expensive, DFW is too much sprawl, still... I hate DEN the most.

I read an analysis of the baggage system about a year after DIA opened, and it was fascinating as a young engineer. Essentially, the original system could never work. Airlines schedule in clusters - they try to make groups of flights arrive in groups and depart in groups, this allows them to create connecting flights. But the DIA system couldn't handle spiky traffic loads, even though this is how airlines design their schedules.

The ridiculous roof had leaks for years.

The current round of modifications and renovations (on a 25 year old airport, they want to renovate?) have been going on more than 2 years, gone over budget, they've already fired the lead contractor once, from what I can tell they're a long way from completion. When I read that part of Berlin's issue was that they wanted more retail, I think this is why they're renovating, they're not trying to create a better traveling experience, they're trying to create a better shopping experience.

They added a Westin onto the end of the terminal, the rates to stay there are absolutely insane. For the life of me, I can't understand why you'd stay out at the airport, when you're a train ride away from downtown.

I'm sure that DIA is the result of a bunch of corruption (Denver is underrated for the corruption here), and I feel like the conspiracy theories are some weird outgrowth of the corruption in the city government here, like some bacteria bloom that pops up around a sewage plume.
And, you don't need much storage anywhere, because more can be shipped in. Although if you have salt domes, you might as well use them.

I used Ghost once upon a time. Trying to customize Ghost themes to produce the output I wanted was an absolute nightmare.

My blog migrated from WordPress to Ghost to Medium. Now it’s artisinally hand crafted HTML+CSS+JS hosted on Netlify.

I know almost no one else is going to host their blog this way, but they should. Hand crafting is easier and more flexible than complex and constrained static site generators. The average blogger doesn’t have enough content to make a generator necessary or even valuable.
I think the thesis being debated in this thread is the possibility of learning based on observation. No one was claiming that all discoveries were actually made this way.

I have a similar device and use it daily.

I don't have to worry about my music being removed because the licensing changed at the streaming provider. I tried various streaming services and all of them removed music from me at some point. This isn't something that's particularly negotiable for me.

I can trivially add songs that aren't on a streaming service using youtube-dl or similar.

I can change songs by pressing a physical button on the side of the player, meaning it doesn't have to leave my pocket and I don't have to look at it. This is particularly useful while exercising.

Yes, because their targets will be reading Hacker News.

The Nigerian Prince scam still works, and every person in the world has heard of it by now.

I don't think they value their public image half as much as you seem to think. But you're on to something.

What if the alternative line of work they had to pick was cleaning toilets at a federal penitentiary, or stamping license plates, or maybe breaking gravel at a re-socialization camp somewhere in Siberia?

Two orders of magnitude would land you with a few hundred thousand users.

Uber has ~93 million users in 80 countries.

Just supporting payments in all those countries is a full-time job for a dedicated team.
I keep thinking in my mind this makes sense but then ponder about the "local" impact - what would a user "donating space" be storing locally and might risk? Where does the risk lay, is it with the uploader, the seeder, or the service provider?
I would love to see this pickup but it feels as though it would devolve into one of the listed projects.
It "sounds" as though it should use some kind of Distributed Ledger Technology, IPFS seem the most fit, maybe some kind of next layer that offers just this service (IPFS being GDPR compliant might mitigate some risk?)

Working in a pharmacy for many years, I noticed something curious.

Most people with a cold, a viral infection spread by droplets, get very talkative. That then causes the spreading of those viruses even more than usual.
These people have no shame, much like a lion has no shame when he eats an antelope.
I agree. Vite is amazing. And most of the comments here seem to be same old complaints we’ve heard and debunked over and over about the state of frontend dev tools.

I do wonder if other industries act like this to their specialties. E.g. do carpenters complain about the tools that boat builders use? Do butchers complain about bakers having to many tools. Do cobblers complain about marketing materials for tools used exclusively by dress-makers? I doubt it.

Most front end devs I talk to don’t complain about the things commenters here are talking about. Most of us—that I know of—are happy with the tools we use, are fine with the evolving landscape, and are able to read through marketing materials of most of the tools we are picking. Honestly, if you are not a front end developer, why do you care about this?
This article was written by by someone who doesn’t quite get it (anticyclone in quotes? Even my iPhone knows that word). It’s cool that an undergrad is lead author, though.

But the underlying article in GRL seems interesting:

> From late June to early July 2021, an unprecedented heat wave enveloped the Pacific Northwest, causing over 1,000 deaths. We investigate the meteorological condition and physical processes responsible for this event. Persistent meandering of the upper-level jet stream (blocking anticyclone) established a warm, stagnant column of air over the Pacific Northwest, which suppressed convection and trapped heat near the surface. Somewhat counterintuitively, the blocking anticyclone itself grew out of a cyclone that developed upstream (Gulf of Alaska) a few days prior: the heat released during the formation of clouds in this storm played an essential role in strengthening the blocking anticyclone downstream, and the subsequent heat wave. To the extent that the condensation of moisture enhances blocking anticyclones in summer, we can expect them and associated heat waves to intensify as the climate warms and the atmosphere contains more water vapor.
The key difference for me, is actual pizzeria drivers usually have hot bags..

Whereas, 75% of the time 'app' drivers dont.

Doesn't matter if I'm first or last in line, if the food is cold either way. Its gotten so bad, we're actually surprised when we order straight from say..dominos, and get hot food, instead of cold.

It costs more to continue mining and burning coal in an existing, paid-for plant than to build out the renewables to replace it and switch to that.

So, the only thing preventing shutdown of coal is that it takes time to build out renewables.

There might be opposition from workers dependent on coal mining, and their pols.
