You might want to consider Pine64's PineNote, which is being developed as a Linux-ready, hackable device. However, development seems to be in its earliest stages: even booting Linux is a serious challenge, and recovering from softbricks is unusually difficult https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineNote For most people, a Kobo will almost certainly be more straightforward.
Durov is also known to lie a lot. He claimed that Telegram developer's were moved abroad from Russia, while in reality they were working out of old VK office, just a floor below.

And that VK was a company supposedly taken away from Durov. Also, Telegram's early versions bear the striking similarities with VK own products. As if Telegram was developed internally in VK and then spun away as an independent company.
That's kind of an entirely different paradigm, considering lit is a Custom Elements framework.
You could try having the free OSS version, then have a pro or enterprise version with license keys, costs, support, and enhanced features (closed source) that might be more suited to larger companies. This looks to have worked out well for many open source projects. In the Rails world, Sidekiq is a prime example, look it up on GitHub if you’re not familiar, solo dev too.

Timing and somewhat clickbaity titles.

By timing I mean if the last item in /newest is like 30 min ago, don't bother, it'll go to the second page too fast to get traction. If it's like 2h ago, then post.

And by clickbaity titles I don't really mean "you won't believe what happens next" kind, but to use your submissions as an example, "You Can't Sit on the Sidelines and Become a Philosopher" is the only one I would click on. The other 10 didn't make me curious one bit.
Ask HN: Cool Watch Recommendations?
Hey all,

I recently started learning about wrist watches. Their history, craft, uses, etc.

I'm looking to buy my first watch. Below $400-$500, let's say.

I'm looking for good quality, unique and interesting watch.

As a developer I know that when we get into something, we go deeeeep. So, if anyone here is into watches or knows a thing or two, it would be awesome if you could share some of your favorite picks.

Thanks a ton on advance.
I'm thinking about starting an OSS project as an alternative to Greenhouse and the likes (applicant tracking software) in written in PHP, as that's my main language at work.

However, I'm a bit relunctant seeing the hate the language gets even though I would use a modern framework like Symfony or API-Platform.

It's true, jokes are hard. I've come to the conclusion that it's simpler to take jokes in discussions like these at face value. Sometimes statements seem to be framed as jokes as much for plausible deniability as humor. And as Gilda Radner says: "Humor is the truth, only faster!"

Homebrew includes Google Spyware? Do you have a source? That's a huge opsec issue.
> The YouTube homepage is once again 15mb/90 requests

You look to be measuring the wrong thing there: 15MB is the uncompressed size; the actual amount transferred is only 3MB. (The two biggest JavaScript files are about 10.5MB, but 2MB on the wire.) And it’s the transfer size that the article is talking about.

(Now the uncompressed size does matter too, especially for JavaScript where that code has to all be parsed and executed, and 10MB will block for multiple seconds on particularly slow mobile devices, but that’s about CPUs, whereas the article is focusing on networks.)
The reason it’s unnecessary is because current mechanisms are enough to stop Google and FB from making money on Chinese citizens, which makes it unprofitable to spy and manipulate them.
Ha, I've soldered to the same pins as the author! I just left the wires dangling out of the case, but pulled them through the aluminum latches (?) in the case for some stabilization.

> Final hurdle: the kindle serial port runs at 1.8v, so I needed a serial port adaptor which supports that

It turns out that most adapters support receiving at 1.8V, you just need a simple voltage divider to keep them from sending more.

Unfortunately I didn't really achieve what I wanted to - I'd like to wake the Kindle using some external device that can poll data at lower power (Thread/BLR/ESP Now) to build an E-Ink display with a long battery life and that can be updated with a relatively low latency. It seems like the chip has a feature for being woken up from deep sleep via UART, but it's disabled by default and needs to be set with a kernel parameter and I haven't managed to set one so far (cmdline set in U-Boot keeps being reset to the original one). Maybe someone has an idea? Does my approach even make sense? Could I get away with a similar efficiency with the Kindle's hardware alone?

... if you want most other things, you don't really even need to open the shell, though. There's a huge amount of software-based jailbreaks over on Mobileread along with cool helpful software tools, tips and cool people.
The Kindle is a whole single board computer with a full Linux system (which is a joy to explore by the way, it's largely made up of shell scripts and js, which is often not only not obfuscated, but commented! big components used include upstart, X11, GTK2 and awesome) and you can install fairly modern software on it - though the kernel (2.6 or so) and architecture (armhf) is starting to limit the older versions a lot. Still, I have Python 3.7 (I think) and Syncthing on my Kindle Touch and it's working quite well.

One use case for actually soldering to the pins is that you can build with it with very little messing around with software. My uncle, a tinkerer without any Linux experienced, is considering just using the Kindle as a dumb display to be drawn to, which this approach would be ideal for. Compute the password, log in, draw using the CLI tools or directly to the framebuffer, all without ever pressing a button on the Kindle.

... these devices are cool. Repurposing old cheap consumer hardware is very cool. Though the Kindle Touch is still very capable for reading (with KOReader, of course)!
Ah thanks. Seems basically true then.
Thank you! This is one of the things I’ve contemplated greatly and I will definitely look into that project. I have some concerns about this approach but maybe taking a closer look at such projects will leviate them. If you have any other examples they would be greatly appreciated! ^^
While deadlock is undesirable, this is still behaviour which you can (and the author did) successfully reason about. You still have your consistent model of the world, in which you are deadlocked and can see exactly why.

"Fearless concurrency" isn't "It's impossible to make mistakes" it's only "The mistakes are no scarier than they were in your conventional non-concurrent program".
This goes against double jeopardy. Do you have a reference?
Including air pollution externalities, nuclear is definately cheaper.

Some of the costs/risks with nuclear are a bit black swannish though which complicates matters.

Energy efficiency, pollution controls and carbon taxes are the real magical tech we've not exploited.

Because cheaper in the long run means more expensive right now, which is a vulnerable political soft spot that psycopaths can easily exploit.

> Rust is restrictive and gets less so over time. C and C++ need to become more restrictive over time, but that's a more traumatic direction.

I don't agree at all with your comment, and I find that sort of opinion miopic and not grounded on real-world software projects.

I 've worked on a fair share of legacy projects which were ported to the latest and greatest projects, including a couple of nightmare JavaScript ones. The very first thing we did was onboard onto static code analysis tools and source code formatters.

Once we enabled them we were faced with a big wall of red text dumps. With time that wall shrinked until there was no more red, and from thereon things stuck that way.

There was no trauma, only a kaizen approach to errors being flagged.

The whole C++ world already does this for decades, whether it's for compiler warnings, static code analysis, memory checkers, fuzzers, etc. What exactly leads you to believe this is traumatic?
You're the expert, thanks for the pointers!

Warning: it's very emotional
Satellite users have long latency, each separate resource request waits 500ms before a connection can begin. Argues for "all in one".

However: the user may be throttled, in which case any connection is likely to have an interruption about 3MB of data transfer.

So you get bit coming and going.
The difference here is that American companies are forced to cooperate with their government with any data, it doesn’t matter where that data is located. That’s why China decided they want their own infrastructure, and other governments, like EU, are taking similar steps.
Obviously, but why wouldn't you be able to prepare food at home to sell?
If they didn't need the money, they could do just that.

The real advantage is for when they decide to sell in X years. Instead of being bought for 1B by Microsoft they'll get 5B because other VC overvalued them in the past.
The thing I found fascinating about this machine is it has no video RAM at all. I couldn't initially understand how it could possibly work without a frame buffer. What it does is you have to redraw the screen dynamically on every frame with precise timing in sync with the sweep of the CRT beam. It also has little memory generally. There's no dedicated RAM chips, there's 128 bytes (not kilobytes) on the PIA you can use and that's it.
A couchDB package perhaps, for which the db supports access via http. Or look at any of over 1000 of sindresorhus' packages - a majority of which are meant to be used in both environments. I've seen plenty of backend services using state trees and mobX style packages.
If you're actually plugging holes with the plugs you make, the other thing to look for is a plug cutter that cuts a slightly tapered plug. The taper ensures that the plug will fill the hole even if it's drilled slightly undersized or (more commonly) slightly oversized. Beware that if you're driving a tapered plug into a hole near the edge of a board, you can split the board. Now you have two problems, as they say.

What other use would a plug cutter have besides cutting plugs for filling holes? Cutting cylindrical tenons. For that application, you'd want one that cuts straight-sided plugs. Unless you're cutting tapered mortises too, of course, in which case you want the tapers to match.

It turns out that you can also use plug cutters without the center spur in a handheld drill to cut cylindrical tenons if you taper the end of the stick so that the plug cutter rides the taper onto the end of the stick. I wouldn't try this with a cutter with four spurs, but the single spur ones apparently do quite well:

Insofar as the de facto democrat position is elective abortion to 24 weeks, federal funding, no counseling or waiting periods, and tolerance of “celebrate your abortion” messaging, that cedes territory to the GOP. In states like Texas, 20% of Democrats support abortion only in cases of rape or incest or where the mother’s life is threatened. In those states, the GOP could triangulate a winning position through a heartbeat law coupled with more government support for mothers and children.

> if you think about quantum computing in terms of “parallel universes” (and whether you do or don’t is up to you)

But if you do think of it that way, why not just pick a random number using some quantum process, classically test whether or not it's a divisor of the number you're trying to factor, and kill yourself if it's not? In every universe where you survive (which, for sake of argument, are the only ones you care about) you find a factor on the first try.
I truly wish journalists would learn to not refer to companies that produce video games as "developers".

No software engineer is getting a bonus because the microtransaction they implemented is getting purchased more often.

I guess it makes sense to refer to products as product of a key role (e.g. "Tarantino's new movie" or "Dreamworks' new movie"), but I feel like titles like OP's just further the public misconception that a regular developer has any input into their product, or financial profit from their work.

(I am aware that the HN audience might be used to bonuses and stock options etc.. These are very not a thing outside a few giant US companies in my experience.)
Yes... a full A100 (+ reasonable CPU etc) looks closer to 2€.
Simply not subsidizing polluting fossil fuels would have been a major boon to solar, wind, nuclear, energy efficiency, economic growth.

Not necessarily. If you lay down FTTP for 500Mbit it'll work at 10 gig no problem. You need to change the equipment at either end. In fact it'll work well beyond that speed if someone wants to pay for the equipment. But if the private sector wants to lay down their own cable in parallel to the public sector then who is stopping them?

The one thing that makes me scratch my head is that the page generally loads quickly, but videos load and play slowly. Rewinding a video to a point that I've already played causes the spinner to show up for what feels like a eternity -- at that point I often just decide the video is not worth watching and try to find what I'm looking for elsewhere.

So a website that is supposed to be for playing videos has optimized the page loading pretty well, gotten the video player showing as quickly as possible, then after all that the experience of playing the video is depressing. Without knowing details, it feels like a case where the devs have optimized for the wrong things.
I'm not currently working on it, but for years I worked for a telehealth startup/research project, building and maintaining their systems. The quantitative and qualitative analysis (including RCTs) done by the research arm all indicated that it has meaningful positive effects on the users.

I did have to make sacrifices financially (I doubled my salary within a month of leaving) but I went in knowing what I was doing so I don't regret that. That's a pretty substantial downside, so it's completely understandable that more people don't go that route. It's unfortunately a bit of a self-reinforcing problem because working with highly competent, friendly coworkers like you get at big tech is an experience that is hard to find at places without big tech budgets.
Other than health insurance (which is often available via a spouse or affordably via a high-deductible market option), what makes taking a multi-month sabbatical more difficult in the US? If anything, the high compensation of SWEs in the US might make it easier to save money for a multi-month break.

Being in the US, I know a lot more people in the US than elsewhere, but I know quite a few people who took a path like this in the US.
If you save up the money, you can take as much time off from working as you want. The reason why most people can't do that is because they increase their expenses to meet or exceed their income rather than spending less money than they make.
That explains the viewer's side, but what about the publisher/influencer side? How does TikTok decide one video is more suitable than another?

My guess is every single video is marked by a human for how much exposure it should get, and if they let something get out that shouldn't, that person is reprimanded.
Honestly I'm amazed tools like this are considered hot by VCs (hasura, retool, now this).

There are literally tons of similar solutions and I generally just pick one of the free / OSS ones when starting a new project I need to do quickly.

If it's client work I'm planning to maintain I'll just roll out custom code - it doesn't take that long more and the extra flexibility and not having to deal with 3rd parties are worth it.

I think the problem is that developers productivity is generally pretty low. This is not because doing the thing is hard: it's actually easier than it's ever been.
It's just that developers like to add a lot of crap and friction all around the project.

Instead of going no code, companies should just fix their lazy attitude and change to a get-shit-done culture (I know, I know, it was popular 20 years ago)
How did clerks/lawyers find those articles on Wikipedia? Through Google I reckon. I wonder how bad/good the search is for court judgements of their existing system.
