“I know a profound pattern which humans deny with their words even while their actions affirm it. They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak, they create the seeds of turmoil and violence. If they find their quiet security, they squirm in it.” - Dune
A couple years ago I became quite interested in building my own grow lights for starting garden veggie seedlings. The YouTube recommendations surrounding such videos were quite interesting... It turns out another plant needs high power as well.
No, you are presenting a non-sequitur, I am bringing up the fact that the government imposes requirements for businesses and government to make accommodations for the disabled. This is in fact to provide equity via governmental means. This occurs at a cost to the organization providing the service. You are arguing about an extreme where everyone is flattened (via cleaving or dystopian sci-fi), which does not happen under the ADA. I actually never indicated support for that position (or any position in fact) you are essentially straw manning.

My point is that the government in fact does this via legislation (the ADA), are you willing to argue against it to remain consistent?

Could not agree more. I have designed my first PCB in Kicad as a MIT licence project.

No one advocating for killing them directly, but there are people advocating for making it legal to kill them if the doctor and the mother so desire, even after live birth. For example: https://cnsnews.com/news/article/emily-ward/virginia-governo...
I didn't choose the source and it may be biased - I just took the first link to the matter I found - but I think the gist of it is adequately shown - the law as proposed would make it ok to kill live born infant if the adults present decide that's what they want. No limits, no restrictions, no conditions. It may not be the main goal of the law, but it would be one of the results. It's hard to pin down the exact position though because as I understand the law wasn't passed and the politicians are prone to change their positions if they lead to backlash, but at least as it was initially proposed, no state involvement in such decisions were intended - purely private matter concerning only persons present.
The hidden cost of using hypermedia in REST has always been that hypermedia is machine-hostile. It has been for years.

So a format intended for machine-to-machine communication is taking on huge cost adopting a full hypermedia format for its output. Ignoring the initial question of "What version of hypermedia" (i.e. are we doing full modern HTML? Can I embed JavaScript in this response and expect the client to interpret it?), that's just overkill when 99% of the time the client and the server both understand the format of the data and don't need the supporting infrastructure a full hypermedia REST implementation provides.

For the same reasons XML-RPC more-or-less lost the fight, HTML (as a not-very-lightweight subset of XML) was going to lose the fight.

That having been said, there are some great ideas from the REST approach that can make a lot of sense with a JSON payload (such as standardizing on URLs as the way foreign resources are accessed, so your client doesn't have to interpret different references to other resources in different ways). But using HTML-on-the-wire isn't generally one of them; it's a solution looking for a problem that brings a full flotilla of problems with it.
Isn't the distillation process prone to explosions? How would one get started? How much capital is needed?
Netflix adds film grain on decode using AV1
No CPU has any problem running audio through basically any interface anymore ever since the Windows 9x days; compressing audio will actually use significantly more CPU than transferring it. If your platform is so constrained the CPU can't send audio inline over USB, then it most definitely won't be able to compress it anyway. For such a scenario, there are Bluetooth controllers that send audio data out-of-band (e.g. through a I2S link), and may even perform the compression in hardware. But this is hardware that is significantly limited, not a PC.
I tend to find it helpful to ask, "is this proper REST as in HATEOAS, or is just 'REST-ish'?" It's usually just REST-ish: predefined URL patterns, roughly 1:1 with specific resource-APIs; they care about your HTTP verb and return JSON (but usually not with a lot of URLs in that JSON).
I think Peter Singer at one point argued in earnest for legal infanticide in certain situations, but I'm not sure of his current position, and regardless infanticide is far from representative of mainstream pro-choice discourse.

The system is totally unsustainable... unless we're willing to have a society of debtors, noone is going to buy homes from the boomers.

The majority of retirement the average middle class has is their home.
One thing I’d love to know is whether there is an upside and if so how much.

How many kidnapping victims get found or violent plots foiled by this tech vs old school police work?

Of course I suspect this info would be hard to get. Authorities would likely cook the books to make these things look more valuable than they really are.
Show HN: I built a site to curate tools for HN
Hey HN! I built Hacker News Mods as a place to collect any tools or sites related to HN.

I know the community has build some incredible things around HN, but they're difficult to track. We also started building one mod/tool for HN per week, and thought it’d be a good idea to showcase all of the tools we’ve created, as well as tools that others have created. The site is pretty scrappy, so any feedback is appreciated!

Also, please submit any projects that we don’t already have listed!

Thanks, Jarren

I would suggest looking at the mechanical puzzle community.

A quick look around https://puzzleparadise.net/ will reveal many people willing to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for bespoke homemade sequential discovery puzzles made with laser cutting, woodworking, 3D printing, CNC, mill, lathe, custom PCBs, etc.

Probably, but right now, it's definitely not irrelevant.

In fact, your plumbing analogy is more correct than you think. Most devs these days are connecting existing pieces together to make a system flow. We don't get paid to make the pieces, we get paid because we know how they should fit together.
Good point. My only idea would be to say it in-extenso: representational state transfer...

The largest factors seem to be purpose and community:

> Belong. All but 5 of the 263 centenarians interviewed belonged to some faith-based community. Denomination does not seem to matter. Research shows that attending faith-based services 4 times per month will add 4 to 14 years of life expectancy.

> Loved ones first. Successful centenarians in the Blue Zones put their families first. This means keeping aging parents and grandparents nearby or in the home (it lowers disease and mortality rates of children in the home too.). They commit to a life partner (which can add up to 3 years of life expectancy) and invest in their children with time and love. (They’ll be more likely to care for aging parents when the time comes.)

> Right tribe. The world’s longest lived people chose—or were born into—social circles that supported healthy behaviors, Okinawans created moais—groups of 5 friends that committed to each other for life. Research from the Framingham Studies2 shows that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness are contagious. So the social networks of long-lived people have favorably shaped their health behaviors.
I think we should switch to their style instead

On older hardware it makes a huge difference. Also very useful if you are on a battery, in my experience it can be the difference between 2 hours or 6 hours of battery life. I think it's off by default because hardware acceleration sometimes introduces visual artifacts but these are so minor I would prefer the extra 4 hours of battery life and not giving a hot laptop. YMMV and indeed it may not be noticeable on newer hardware and maybe not an issue if there are no batteries.

There are about 70 million Catholics in the US, 20% of the population. Are a majority of their members' views on abortion out of line with the Catholic Church? They're a pretty sizable part of "public opinion."
Back when I was in elementary school in the 1990s we learned word processing using the ClarisWorks office suite on 68k Performa 575 models running System 7. While nostalgia may be clouding my opinions, I do remember ClarisWorks being easy to use. We also had access to Apple eMate laptops which ran the same operating system as the Newton. They had a word processing application on them, and we'd use these laptops in class to type short reports, which we would later print and give to the teacher to grade. I forgot the name of the word processing application, though; it's been 21 years since elementary school and the last time I saw an eMate.
I wonder why are we so complacent with these kind of things? Is it really just the fact that we got our bellies full, and live in climate-controlled homes? Or has there been some degeneration of the human body brought upon us with all kinds of new artificial materials we use, that might affect our bodies in ways we can't yet comprehend; or is it a psychological thing based on the results of technological achievements we consume?

Looking back at some of the European revolutions, it doesn't seem like so much is missing to cause an urge to revolt in people. So what is different? Why do we repeatedly allow this to happen?
A purchase is a purchase. Whether I buy a TV or a game, nobody should be able to take away access after I paid for it. Otherwise write "rent" on the button and clearly state that I might lose access at any time if the publisher feels like it.

In practice, this turns out to be a painful way for a client to access the data; instead of a single fetch to get the relevant information, we're now doing multiple fetches and collating the results client-side. For this kind of data access, I'd recommend either

a) just denormalizing the field contents if you know what the client needs them for

b) supporting GraphQL if you want to support a general-purpose query endpoint
Is that what the thing in Primer was supposed to do? Reduce weight?
A bit off topic, but does anyone else find a data/financial company name "two sigma" to be...either troubling (how often two sigma events happen randomly and their lack of meaning beyond random fluctuation), or really on the nose?
Agree here. mpv plays for hours without a single frame upset.

The final icing on the cake is I use a small LUA hook to set the refresh rate of the projector to match the source material.

We are a surveillance state. We(geeks) all made a fuss over it about 20 years ago and no one seemed to care so here we are. Every so often someone new realizes it, freaks out, and not much changes. I wish I weren't so cynical but at some point I just got tired of losing sleep over it.
So basically a Googler, nonetheless.

Yes; the point is that "this is popular now" is not necessarily an indicator of quality or long-term sustainability.
“Research shows that attending faith-based services 4 times per month will add 4 to 14 years of life expectancy.”

Well shit.
cool, what happens when a rival doesn't want to stop growing?
> but no sane client will go around and request random server-provided urls to discover what is available

Compare and contrast: what SQL admin GUI clients do to discover the DBMS schema. They essentially spider it.

> Under HATEOAS the client would need to associate the knowledge of resource structure with a particular resource received. A promising identifier for this association would be the resource collection path, i.e. the URL. If the client needs to know the URLs, why have them in the response?

The client does not need to know the URL; the client needs to know how to get to the URL.

Have you ever written a web scraper, for a site that doesn't really enjoy being scraped, and so uses stuff like CSRF protection "synchronizer tokens"? To do/get anything on such a site, you can't just directly go to the thing; you have to start where a real browser would start, and click links / submit forms like a browser would do, to get there.

HATEOAS is the idea that APIs should also work that way: "clicking links" and "submitting forms" from some well-known root resource to get to the API you know about.

As with a scraper, it's the "link text" or the "form field names" — the delivered API — that you're assuming to be stable; not the URL structure.

> Other problems include creating new resource - how the client is supposed to know the structure of to-be created resource, if there is none yet? The client has nothing to request to discover the resource structure and associations.

What do you think HTML forms are, if not descriptions of resource templates? When you GET /foos, why do you think the browser result is a form? It's a description of how to make a foo (and, through the submit attribute, a place to send it to get it made.)

Alternately, compare/contrast what Kubernetes does — exposes its resource schemas as documents, living in the same resource-hierarchy as the documents themselves live.

> Also hypertext does not map well to JSON. In JSON you can not differenciate between data and metadata (i.e. links to other resources)

It's right in the name: in HATEOAS, hypertext is the engine of application state. Hypertext as in, say, HTML. JSON is not hypertext, because it's not text — it's not a markup language like SGML/XML/HTML are.

You realize that HTML is machine-readable, right? That you can respond to an XHR with HTML, and then parse it using the browser (or API client's) HTML parsing capabilities, just like you can receive and parse JSON? That there's nothing stopping you from using a <table> to send tabular data, etc.? And that if you do so, then debugging your API becomes as simple as just visiting the same link the API client is visiting, and seeing the data rendered as HTML in your browser?
Breaking basic language norms in this way is the equivalent of CONSTANTLY RAISING YOUR VOICE. It's distracting and attention-getting. Which may be your goal, but if your goal is to be easily understood and sympathetic to your reader, it's counterproductive.
I use it, am currently going through my certifications and also make a living doing it so I feel qualified to comment...

Those people moaning about price... If you have to ask the price you can't afford it. My F500 employer spends upwards of $30,000,000 a year with MS and somehow (Don't ask me, I just work here) everything goes cloud first now.

To state the obvious, the big boys pay nowhere near calculator pricing prices. The pricing is a different galaxy away. Living in a world where one small tweak can save $1,000 a day, its all about efficient planning of what your doing, ie design it right but Azure designers who are good don't come cheap.

What wasn't made obvious (and this is where a lightbulb may go on) is that MS is engaged in a hearts and minds war for Sysadmins like me. So much so that MS have a special program available to big spenders where:

1) Pretty much the entire Azure training catalog is available for free, ie AZ-401, AZ-5XX, AZ-2XX? When I say free I mean real attend in person courses with the full course content as you would normally pay $3,000 for. You can do it as many times as you like, as often as you like.
2) All personal labs are paid for with free credits (its a bit grey area this one)
2) All the exams are 100% free. All those Pearson Vue exams? 100% discounted. Did I also mention unlimited retakes?

As for the complaining about APIs and products being retired, well, the trick is to stay with the mainstream items offered.

In short I have had about $20,000 of training from MS this year alone and its not cost me one single cent. I really dislike MS but if they want to make me a very rich and in-demand person with companies who think cloud will save them from being dinosaurs, I won't bitch too loudly.
It's a country with the population of Sunnyale. I'm not sure it could support much competition.
Might be a language thing. Observationally, the products of hardware design cross language barriers better than software/UX. Therefore software producers compete mostly within their own language, but hardware producers must complete globally. This would tend to produce a deficit of HW engineers in countries like the US/UK, just because there isn't as much money to chase vs software.
I used foldl1 (+) because that's the literal translation of +/. I used (fromIntegral.length) instead of genericLength because genericLength requires an import (as does liftM2 actually, so I should've used that).

'Not much longer than APL's in terms of actual symbols used.' - well, there's liftM2, and for longer examples, chaining it is even worse - (f g h i j) in APL becomes liftM2 g f $ liftM2 i h j -> quickly becoming unwieldy and unclear.

A lot of people also seem to say 'oh well if each character was a word it would be the same', and while it seems like that might be true, in practice it isn't, and the use of symbols allows for pattern recognition that you just don't get with words.
Not a mess, but options. That’s what’s encourage innovation and open up for new ideas.

Ah, Snap loves being weird for the sake of being weird. Snapchat was a constant struggle for me (Gen Z) to operate before I stopped using it. The latest reminder for how hip and weird they are (in their world): The text "web.snapchat.com" is blue, underlined ... but not actually a clickable link. How cute, quirky and hip! The youngsters will love it.
Positive side: Girls were more attracted to the skinner body type.

Negative side: My parents/doctor thought I was on crack because bones were sticking out.

My back loves the lower weight. I miss the look of the extra weight.
JSON actually means Representation State Transfer that the original author wanted, that's what made JSON the same meaning as RESTful API !
He’s one of very few people doing this type of investigative journalism online, and is - as cringey as it sounds - the closest we’ve got to an IRL ‘internet superhero’.

Ubi was a bad call but the information was credible - as an insider, the informant was in a unique position to spin his story in such a way. I don’t blame him for making the bad call, and I don’t think he should ‘own up to it’.

That one story is far from representative of his broader achievements, and comparing it to the concerted efforts other more malicious actors in the media landscape is disingenuous at best.
I think food in general is common ground that pulls everyone together.

I've had lots of interesting discussions around the subject of coffee.

Btw, I drink coffee black now, and my circuitous coffee journey led me to cold brew coffee, which is mellow and not acid/bitter.

Have you tried cold brew?

Yes, but wisdom is to avoid to conflate "lost" for "degraded".
My buddy did something similar.

He lived near a town where a mine had shut down a few years earlier. Him and his buddy went out and found a ton of heavy duty, industrial conveyor belts. They took as much as their two trucks could haul. Went back and cut them into lengths suitable for truck beds. Sold them at $100 a pop for any truck. Same thing. They'd just told the customer to measure their bed and they'd cut them to fit.

Not sure how much they made, but the rubber was like an inch thick, heavy enough to stay in place without any glue or tie downs and the rubber was really grippy on the one side. It was prefect for what they did with it. You could put a tool box smack in the middle of the bed it wouldn't move an inch on that rubber.

I've always wondered if you could do something similar with wholesale conveyor mats these days or if this was just a "right place, right time" kind of a deal for my friend.
It turns out having a community and feeling of purpose in life actually has tangible benefits, who would've thought.
There's a recent video from Yes Theory on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhtc3EX12Z8

TL:DW; They go to a Blue Zone village Seulo in Italy's Sardinia Island and spend some time there. The village looks pretty normal in general, they use technology they have plastics all over the place, they eat meat drink wine - albeit locally sourced. On thing that stands out is, maybe, the active lifestyle of the old people and strong community.
