There used to be a way, essentially limiting exposure of yourself to just media and maintenance. If you actually owned the necessary assets and were able to get a big buffer.
Typically you got there by not overleveraging or using debt instruments at all.

These days it's getting ever harder to pull it off, if not impossible. Mostly because housing market jumped the shark.

Selling assets can be a problem anyway since many of them actually depreciate hard. Jet ski and old fuel guzzling SUV likely nobody will want. The house, maybe, but it will get ever harder to sell them as buyers are starved of money and credit.
I know that objectively speaking the chip in the 13 is leaps and bounds faster. But in my daily use I don’t see it. Safari is no faster. Maps is no faster. Some apps like Sonos still have startup time.

Probably the apps I use just aren’t CPU bound, or they need other optimizations to make them faster. Which probably makes me like most people. My wife is still happily using an iPhone 8 and she will probably replace it only when it completely goes out. Since phones are so durable now—the home button doesn’t even wear out—that might take years more.
Seems the likely result of this could be atmospheric systems getting a boost in energy & dynamics in ways that would lead to both more severe weather and increased precipitation in certain storms. It also might make some storms harder to predict.
Fair, thanks! It's really bare-bones at the moment, so will be working on making it better solving all of those progressively.

Some comments in response:

1. Agreed, will need to buff this out.

2. Logo is suppose to represent upsilon — understandably it will be confusing at first.

3. You are correct, that should be highlighted on the home page. It's talked about further within the application, but if you're not aware beforehand that could lead to disappointment.

The last few harken back to the bare-bones aspect so I left those unanswered. Thank you so much for taking a look!
Maybe even some strategically placed [1] satellites as communication relays?

OTOH, reducing complexity is one of the most important things in working on an engineering team. Having “one” way to do things rather than the nnn*n helps anyone new to be able to focus more on the system itself rather than picking up a new tool for every task. There’s 1000 ways to build something and the lack of structure makes people feel overwhelmed easily when trying to learn.
To make it worse you can always find people who are exceptions to strange connections.
Social media and Websites in general are like TV shows or recording artists - they exist within an era and eventually become legacy/classic and irrelevant to the new youth culture.

No one wants to engage with the same cultural artifacts of their parents or the previous generation. They want to establish themselves as a distinct cultural era and need symbols, etc that are distinct.
How much of 'we', do you reckon?

If you just mean "some much smaller number of humans might survive this", then I think there's a decent chance you're right. And I suspect that number will end up being 100 million or less. I still think our current trajectory is more likely on track for 0 (or damn near it), though.

There's no way in hell the earth is going to maintain 8 billion+ people on the planet indefinitely. There's going to be a major, major drop at some point, probably spurred by war over declining resources, and it's probably going to take a good chunk of civilization down with it. We might be several decades away from that (or perhaps not, there's some disturbing signs out there), but there's just no way that "number goes up always" on a finite planet.

Show HN: I made a tool to make paper planning easier. Open-source and a service
Hi HN!

TodayChecklist provides a way of getting boiler-plate documents filled out and printed quickly. I do a lot of planning in notebooks and on paper, but fall back to various tools on the computer for longer-form writing, like project outlines.

One of the templates in TodayChecklist is for projects and asks me for the name of the project, what it looks like for it to be successful, why I am doing it, and finally a list of steps to complete the project. Once I answer those questions, I can print it out and drop it in with my paper system.

There are default templates like that and various checklists, and you can make your own templates with your own questions to answer too.

I’m very excited because this is the first time I’ve used Stripe to directly monetize a website. You can sign up for free and make up to 7 documents and 5 templates, if you find it useful past that you can subscribe for unlimited documents and templates.

Finally, the whole thing is open source[0], and includes an ansible role for installing on Debian 11.

Thank you for reading and I hope you find it useful!

Their main contact e-mail can already be unsubscribed but you can try extra emails (after +) like user+spam@company.com Those often arrive to user's inbox but behave like a different address in their spam database.

And of course, as others suggested, you can also subscribe sales, hiring, website staff, abuse@ and other departments.
Absolutely agree. XBox Cloud gaming took the "Netflix for games" strategy and with inferior quality was able to decently establish itself.

How to fund the development of a risky but long-term valuable new platform? Whomever was calling the shots on that question failed spectacularly and in a way that technology companies usually don't. You're already losing hundreds of millions making the tech, why not spend a few more loss-leading the user growth?
I wonder about the "social media is addictive" end-game. Will we continue to develop new social media apps that are more and more addictive? Can we continue down that path forever? To the maximally addictive social media app? What does that world look like? Does anyone want to live there?

I'm curious how "addictive" became a positive term.
This guy has a degree and worked in commercial real-estate. He's intelligent and capable of working in tech. Bootcamps are retraining programs, not degree programs. They're not going to turn dummies into software engineers.
Pretty low quality article IMO. Really hard to read with all the snark.

TLDR less people are entering the tech workforce. Doesn't say if it's just the US or on a global scale. Tech companies would have the least difficulty hiring top talent at a global scale, so its a bit hard for me to make sense of intuitively.
The problem is that UNIX, while it reeks, it's good enough for most people to not care about it.

Plan 9 was supposed to be the better designed UNIX all around and it did not even dent it. It wasn't significantly better that UNIX to displace it.

http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/plan9.html

> We know what Unix's future used to look like. It was designed by the research group at Bell Labs that built Unix and called ‘Plan 9 from Bell Labs’.[154] Plan 9 was an attempt to do Unix over again, better.

> The long view of history may tell a different story, but in 2003 it looks like Plan 9 failed simply because it fell short of being a compelling enough improvement on Unix to displace its ancestor. Compared to Plan 9, Unix creaks and clanks and has obvious rust spots, but it gets the job done well enough to hold its position. There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough.
The most garbage map that I've ever seen.

Mumbai has 20 famous people (most of them I've never heard of) while missing hundreds of famous people.

I disagree. There are things that should be required for a software engineer to know. Queueing theory comes to mind
Goes to show how little meaning that kind of thing actually conveys. That text was there to communicate, but not in the usual manner of being read as words.
I do feel 'porn' as it is understood now is vastly different than what was talked about in the og comment. I've seen porn and I've seen videos of people faking sex on tv as a teenager (erotic movement and nudity, not allow under 16 in my country at the time). The original comment was probably talking about the second one, where the erotism come from the touch, eyes and behavior (and genitalia and boobs, tbh). I agree that most pornography I've seen was too violent and/or disturbing to be on tv(I'm not a consumer, never was really, but i think in my group of friends, Rick roll included porn gif/videos). Erotica however, i wouldn't bat an eye even if showed during the day.
>They've been operating Steam for 20 years now. So the company has staying power.

This is true, but also this is all new. Sooner than later there will be a case of a 20 year old company who licenses media that burns their customer base. It's inevitable.
> Think video game streamers producing mindless content all day long, and asking for donations that allow viewers to get a flair next to their name or an in-stream callout of some chosen sentence.

You get what you pay for. If the product is mindless to begin with, I do not think this proves any point. It would be different if stream was paid to begin with.

> Ads have been in journalism for a long time.

You still paid for the newspaper, meaning an economic transactio happend where you valued the content at some price point and were ready to pay. That meant content had to pass at least some quality threshold.

Replacing this with fully free, ad-supported content totally changed incentives.

Now the content can be of zero value (which it in most cases is) and will still be consumed because it is free.
Not enough history about Micron, the company. The founder sold the exclusive potatoes for McDonald's French fries! He literally went from chips to chips.
If we could replace chips like we could replace cells in batteries, things would be better maybe.

But I would love to have a pure SSD NAS.
Is there a purpose/reason for doing this beyond tradition & public entertainment? It seems a bit cruel/stressful for feral animals to be herded, penned, and then forced to swim?
I have a friend who is just at the end of finish her university degree in Germany in a sub field of economics. She cannot calculate with fractions.

She can also not write a 10-paged paper about shallow topics. I don't know what she can do tbh and I am really not trying to be arrogant or shitting on her. She uses her sister, who is smart but easily manipulated by younger sister with big pleading eyes, as a ghostwriter to pass all exams during Corona.

And she really isn't the only one. Some universities are incapable of guaranteeing a minimum baseline of quality of their graduates.
Pagefind is quite a find for site search
I certainly hope so.

My husband's hair is thinning, between the anguish he feels and the guilt I feel for finding it unattractive, a cure would be fantastic.
He wants to save up for a 20k transplant surgery, but I'm finding it hard to accept price wise when we have two kids.
Most developers I know who are self taught have been passionate about building things for a long time and have been experimenting on their own time for a long time before they got their first SE role. Even with the potential financial rewards, the amount of learning one must do on one’s own time is too large for someone to just walk up to it. I find that there’s a lot of people with CS degrees like this though who just wanted that degree to make more money, and then find they really dislike the roles.
IG has like 4 different UIs running at once, depending on where you are in the app. It's bizarre. They're so disjointed they could be released as wholly independent apps.

TikTok really nailed their interface.
There's a fine line between a rumor and an open secret. I personally have experienced exactly what you described. One of my coworkers knows someone on the Stadia team. Based on the gossip I've heard completely independent of this 'revelation' that all turned out to be true, it wouldn't surprise me. Who cares? It's not like I've got any any money riding on it, and frankly everyone should know better about Google's behavior attitude about this stuff by now.
Why even make this joke?
I delight in isochrone maps[0]! There used to be some open source, web interfaces but they all became commercial.

An isochrone map is one of the best tools for weekend get-aways, job hunting, and finding a home location.

OpenStreetMap[1]! Add it to your site, it will be great hit, in my opinion.

God this is such a good comment.

Absolutely yes.

It is such an absurd clown show. I've heard politics compared to professional wrestling and I feel that is very apt.
The biggest GC issues I’ve personally seen manifest were arrays of historical data that grew to tens of millions of entries and due to array storage in .net, the array was placed in the large object heap. Swapping to a linked list actually fixed the issue and the team lived to fight another day.

Like a lot of premature optimization, it isn’t a problem until it is… but solutions aren’t unattainable.
Ask HN: How do websites hide their APIs?
Apologies for the newbie question -- I've never really programmed a website before, so seeking clarity on this topic. I wrote a website that uses a REST API written in Golang on the backend. When I look at the network tab, I can see all the requests that the frontend makes to my REST API, as well as the full payloads. This makes sense -- any information I want to display on my website has to come from my backend, so there will always be some network call that contains everything needed on the frontend.

What confuses me is how websites like www.basketball-reference.com operate. Trawling through the network tab, I can't find any call to an API that loads the information on the frontend. Maybe this is the dumbest question alive (and please let me know if it is), but how do these websites disguise the payloads from their servers? Am I just not looking in the right place, is it encrypted and then decrypted somehow on the frontend, etc.
Yes, that's because everything here is centered on Paris
Facebook is one of those annoying ones. You go in, change your notifications to exactly what you want, and then shortly after Facebook creates a new notification class that's set to default "on". Few rounds of that and it's lost all notification privileges.
A hair transplant is also an option and relatively affordable nowadays (I paid 1600$ for mine, in Turkey). I was initially skeptical and had very low expectations but in the end, I'm very happy with the result. Normally, you don't lose the transplanted hairs because they are taken from the region of your head that doesn't go bald.

Here's a pic of me shortly before (left) and a few months after (right): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olalonde/olalonde.github.c...

Edit: Thanks for the compliments :) To answer a few questions:

I was already visiting Turkey for a friend's wedding at the time so I didn't need to get a complete package with accommodation, etc. In fact, I decided to do the transplant on a whim, partly because my friend wouldn't stop bugging me about it (I'm glad he did in retrospect). I decided to do it, went for a consultation the following day, and had the operation the day after that.

I don't know what truth there is to this but I supposedly got a good deal because I didn't need transport, accommodation, etc. They politely asked me to keep the price to myself, so I feel ambivalent about posting the clinic here but I'll happily reply to emails (see profile).
Google could install a Stadia data center in every block of every city and town on Earth, at least any where there is a Stadia customer. Some version of this is the only way to reduce latency significantly.

In a more realistic version, it is exactly what Netflix does - they pay to have Netflix streaming servers running in local ISP centers in much of the world where there are Netflix customers.
Almost nobody mentions another rationale or use case: the registry is accessible from kernel mode. This makes it, in addition to the other things, kind of analogous to sysctl.
I'd wager any problem involving queuing theory could be googled/researched in under a day. Hard to call it a requirement when you can just.. look it up when you need it.
If Stadia is shut down, they should offer activation keys for each user's purchased games on Epic, GOG, Xbox, GeForce Now or Steam. Or where ever, really, it doesn't matter.
What percentage of seasoned software engineers do any kind of formal model checking?

Edit: lol, love the downvotes. The fact is, 10 years of Agile TDD OOP cargo cult only makes you a marginally better Engineer than a bootcamper.
I'd be very interested in China's, given their recent work on high speed rail.

Yup, that's next on my list. I'm going to roll out larger fully routed IPv6 subnets first, then follow with port forwarding later
> Go is a better choice where performance is important, but not so important that you'd forgo the simplicity of Go for Rust's more complex development style (borrow checker, etc?).

I understand why someone might feel this way, but I think it may misunderstand/misinterpret a few things.

First, a more complex development style is not a chronic condition, because you become proficient in the language you work in. For instance re: the borrow checker, you begin to understand what it wants you to do, and why. Rust may be harder to pick up, but, once you do, it's just as easy to build a CLI tool in Rust.

Second, obviously, it depends on the type of CLI tool you're writing. Maybe the CLI tools Meta are writing look less like Python scripts, and more like Valgrind or tcpdump.

Third, not to disparage golang in any way, but golang's simplicity is something of an illusion. Because all "simplicity" is an illusion. It breaks down quickly at the edges. As someone else noted, you should take a look at "I want off Mr. Golang's Wild Ride"[0] but also perhaps "Simple Made Easy"[1].

After their Linux move, Vlave really want to have nothing to do with Microsoft.
True, but the problem is that people disagree on the facts quite often, and you end up with prevailing narratives that are wholly garbage.
Aren't you agreeing with me here?

You're saying that we should be defining famous as "known far and wide" - which is fine, but that makes "what would a foreigner recognize" a great fit for the pick.

I'm rebutting the idea that this is limited to non-western countries - It's not. If you want a pick who people from a location would identify with more as a local... this data isn't that: every person on my list is in my news much more often than MLK jr.
It's more like a distributed Unix installation with a shared central /usr.

GFN solved stadia's main problem by integrating with Steam.
There are so many services now that have data scraped from various sources - many of them charge money, but they're readily available, even with increasing privacy laws.
Or the Mierdas Touch
The problem I see, especially for someone who is entering the field of software development, is the lack of critical thinking.

If you think that you've learned everything needed to become a software engineer in three months, wouldn't it cause you to wonder why four-year programs exist?
Has this ever occurred to OP?
It's come a long way since pre-Stadia that's for sure. Can't get around the monthly fee though.
Making men less attractive after they have babies may actually improve reproductive fitness by helping solving the females-side's dilemma of being able to keep some co-carers / resource providers / companion around for the raising of the "offspring". So I don't think it's as simple as "less sex-attractive men" (if that's even true, I don't have any anecdotal evidence that bald men are less attractive to women in any way except what women say they are attracted to, but talk about attractiveness and partner choices are often independent in reality...but it may be true I don't study it), or "less sex-attractive after some time horizon" leads to lower reproductive fitness.

As the person responding to you said, this is a conversation. It's not here for you to dictate the proper direction of. It's for people who are curious to share ideas back and forth. I personally find the responses significantly more interesting that your insults. If you are only interested in shutting down conversations that don't fit your preferred narrative, perhaps you are the problem.

We need more. We need cheap and clean energy and research in that sector has happened and is happening now, likewise water purification on large scale or we'll go dry.

Improvements in farming and husbandry are also not being deployed as they're marginally more expensive, even though we critically need them.

The visibly good technologies exist and need to be deployed; due to lack of investment in them, cost is prohibitive.
How do you decide to designate something as more animalistic or human. Is is caring for children animal or human? Being socially pleasant? What makes attending a naturist summer camp animalistic?

FWIW, the majority of recent, western naturist subcultures came from rationalist origins... a sort of late enlightenment movement. They pondered why we behave as we do, and rejected rote knowledge. IE, they thought we culturally avoid nudity today just because we avoided it yesterday. It's a thoughtless, irrational habit.

Being rational, thoughtful and highly evolved beings, naturalists decided they don't have to keep up pointless habits. Humans can decide to evolve by their own volition, their own rational conclusions. This is pretty closely related to humanist thought broadly.

So, why is naturism more animal than human? More importantly (to me), how can mindless adherence to tradition, custom, religion or habit possibly represent "choosing to use our superior faculties and ingenuity" or "evolving by our own volition." it seems to me that conscious, and free choice represents those things much better.
I bought a Pinebook Pro because I wanted to support the project. However, it has turned into my primary personal laptop. It works great for all my personal development projects (emacs + elixir/javascript/react/python), running my side business (Shopify store), along with book keeping (plain text accounting), and general web surfing.

Suspend works well. Battery life is good enough (not as good as my m1 macbook). Wifi and everything else works fine. The only annoyance is the sound card doesn't get reset correctly after suspend. This required setting up a script to reload the module + a systemd unit to run it when coming back from suspend.

It is cheap enough that I'm not worried about throwing it in my bag or taking it overseas. It also seems to get a lot of attention in public as it has no markings on it at all!

I've thought about expanding the hard drive (as 64G isn't much), but it forces me to push everything to my home server/NAS which is a good thing.
