> PHP was really nice to get into programming and make a spaghetti website

Facebook manages quite well with PHP. Maybe it's your fault you didn't learn how to use modern PHP practices which have been well-documented for over a decade now.
It is not about asking questions in general, it is about asking questions in a suggestive way, if it suggests something toxic.
imagick for imagemagick is a common one. but yeah, you can go really far with just relying on php standard features

> In Ukraine power changed hands because of a vote in parliament

That's the point, it's illegitimate to oust a sitting president after a vote in Parlament without a proper impeachment process that includes (1) providing evidence of a commited crime or other serious legally-bound misconduct and (2) having a special court hearing that draws the final conclusion. None of that happened in 2014 (see [1]). Instead, the aforementioned impeachment process against the sitting president was declared unnecessary (proving if his actions were illegitimate in a court hearing became unnecessary too) due to his "self-removal from the performance of his constitutional duties". This is a very neat and convenient wording for "ran for his life" when it became clear that the armed rioters from Kiyv were after him and approaching his Mezhyhirya Residence.

Again, the event doesn't look democratic to me. In fact it looks random at best and suggests a case for an opportunistic power grab at worst. One cannot simply declare that the vote in parlament was legal and the due process respected because the subject had to flee the country ("self-remove") to save his life. There are many places in the world where leaders have to self-remove without due process, and we don't call these places democracies.

> I dunno your hardline pro Russian views seem to suggest that your views may not he neutral on this topic.

Neither is your apologetic stance on the events of early 2014 that tore a thin fabric of a democratic society. It is fine to be upset on country leaders that break their political promises, but it's extremely irresponsible to suggest that "self-removing" those leaders for their promise-breaking yet non-crime legitimate decisions is a proper reaction for the upset part of the society.

One of the criticisms is that the boards are incestuous. Another issue may be that stock options are much more common now. I know the argument is this should align the CEOs interest with the shareholders but the counterpoint is it incentivizes a short term outlook.

Being an employee makes it easier to demand fair treatment. As a "student" people can say "of course your pay and benefits are low and hours are terrible, you are a student and are paid in coaching." If you are instead understood to be an employee then suddenly the comparison between working at Target and working as a graduate student becomes harder to ignore and the abusive practices become more clear.

There are downsides, like it being important to be able to fire low performers in employee/employer relationships. But thinking of graduate students as skilled knowledge workers makes it easier to agitate for better conditions.
This doesn't seem to be much to do with communism. You can operate not for profits or charities in capitalist systems (in fact some of its strongest proponents would much prefer people give money directly to charities to help people, rather than pay taxes to a government that might help people).

I don't see what's communist about it. It's just that the developer has arrived at "charity" via the route of communism. The biggest societal difference is that chess.com allows people to play chess for a living, whereas a free platform does not.
I suppose the programming equivalent is something that randomly results in a line being printed to the console.
Yes, you need to keep the invoices with the users name and address on it (and probably a customer record in the ERP system). But - for example - if you provide a service that stores a users portrait picture, you need to delete the portrait picture upon request. You don’t need that for a financial audit.
Well, you still have the option to get up, march the streets and demand for better representation.

Democracy is an active, ongoing process, it doesn't stop at the election booth.

You deserve better than unelected leaders (unelected as by the people, not by a few selected Tory party members).

I am not for "changing the system". The system that worked for thousands of years and got humanity to the peak of civilization works perfectly fine: hard money.

This fiat money thing (or "regulated" as you call it) is a very short-lived experiment that has gotten us where we are today: definitely downhill - sick people on a sick planet.

Nobody asked us whether we agree with decoupling the USD from the gold standard, it just happened without us knowing, and you saying I am for "changing the system" is pure gaslighting. I am just advocating for a return to the system that worked just fine.

Have you ever thought about how much energy the banking system consumes? Or the military that is backing the US dollar? Seems like you just fall for the headlines about Bitcoin's energy use without thinking about the counter-arguments. Do you think gold mining happens in a vacuum?

Ask HN: Easiest low-code way to convert spreadsheet to app?
For a client of mine I'm looking for a low code way to convert a complicated mortgage calculation spreadsheet (20 tabs/1000's rows) to an app so that the calculation happens in the excel but the output happens on a site/app frontend.

The spreadsheet is Microsoft xls. Ideally we can drag drop different components and make calculation/dashboards out of it having the excel as an engine on the backend.

Thank you!
Most ESP32 devices are on the small side from RTEMS PoV, plus harvard architecture is probably an issue as well.

Even with external memory, I'm not sure if I've seen any ESP32 with more than 8MB of SPI-attached RAM - this would be enough for RTEMS, but I'm not sure about viability of using SPI-attached SRAM as main memory.

EDIT: Looking through processor supplements documentation for RTEMS, the 520kB of RAM in ESP32 would be enough. I guess RTEMS is simply less well known and its main users target heavier platforms whereas many people are fine with just the provided ESP32 toolkit as base "OS"

The tracker is not that bad if you consider the alternative is group PT sessions. I've heard many complaints about how PT is executived in the military. From this perspective, the fitness tracker gives you additional freedom. A lot of people in the military right now would be glad to have the opportunity to do workouts with a fitness tracker.
But he's saying it is bad to do it that way instead of doing traditional physics because you get no understanding, which is true, but in this study they're not using it as a "physics engine" to pilot aircraft or whatever, they're using it as a trick to generate novel hypotheses, which could then be theorised and investigated properly, not as a replacement to theory.
Show HN: Munchy - a recipe search engine (pt.2)
Last year, I made a post to hacker news showing off a demo of a recipe search engine. The product was unfinished; there was less than 600 recipes, the search engine was primitive, and the UX was mediocre at best. After receiving a lot of feedback from the hacker news community, I went at improving the product. We now have over 150,000 recipes, are using a more sophisticated search algorithm, and have implemented over 5 additional filters to filter by your dietary preferences and needs.
We are building a search engine that will help anyone access recipes that are nutritional. I believe everyone should have access to the dinner they want, no matter their dietary needs or ingredients they have.
That's the problem with every law: It's ambiguous to allow for super high forwards-compatibility like the introduction of completely new technologies.
While I agree having the best source is better, which is in my experience is better is random; sources including: press releases, press, paper, demo, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

In my opinion, defaulting to only one would be bad idea; better to just review them and if needed on case by case basis email the mods to make a change it needed.

I do think having a fields for “official source” or “notable coverage” might be a good idea, since it’s common to have a better non-official source or review an independent notable coverage — and dumping that into the comments in my opinion takes away from the core value of the comments.
Very nice!

A small nity-picky: From academic point of view if I was a reviewer I would point out that the Potree project is prior art in rendering points in browser, considering Octree based spatial distribution of points for rendering of arbitrarily large data sets.

Potree is designed mainly for pointclouds of terran objects while this is obvioulsy intended for astronomic datasets so the domain is a bit different.

While smaller ESA projects like satellite instruments are usually free to choose which version of RTEMS they use, larger and more important projects use ESA's own version. This version is known as the "EDISOFT" version because it was re-developed/qualified by a portuguese company of that name. It is basically a rewrite of a subset of the RTEMS API. You can read more about it here: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Techn...

Like most of ESA's software engineering tools, it is hopelessly outdated and relies on a patched GCC 4.2.1 which is missing a lot of useful features and bug fixes, especially for the SPARC architecture which is often used in ESA spacecraft. See -mfix-* switches here https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.4.0/gcc/SPARC-Options....

While RTEMS is GPL-licensed ESA does not want the code to be freely available -- you probably won't find it online. Some years ago they realized that, if they don't upstream their code, they have no chance to keep up to date and started an initiative to improve the situation: https://rtems-qual.io.esa.int, https://rtems-qual.io.esa.int/
Gladly. My email is in my profile.
Rarely is this salary guaranteed. It often requires TAing to supplement research funding and graduate students are often required to be deeply involved (or even solely responsible) for sourcing their own research funding. Stipends are also often poverty wages or even lower when you consider that stipends are usually only for 3/4 of the year and you are usually expected to continue research during the summer.

I know some folks who did PhDs in non-engineering fields at state universities who had to TA every single semester, often TAing multiple classes, just to earn ~$20,000 per year.
The trouble with Microsoft’s search was that it never had an effective monetiszation engine, ads on Bing pay pennies on Google’s dollars.

Building a YouTube clone would be expensive for Microsoft and they probably don’t believe they can make money at it.

So far as competition the real competition could be for advertisers which would probably make things worse for creators.
Let me be clear; we should move away from Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail price and go towards Manufacturers Retail Price. Just make it that the price is the price, and then the dealers can become glorified delivery centers/showrooms and service centers.

They'll make tons of gross profit because their cost infrastructure will go down, and OEMs will be happy because they still won't have to deal with customers and can focus on wholesaling cars to their "dealer" network.

The rub is in the finance and insurance products. OEMs all have captive lending arms, and currently dealers make a ton of money ($1,500+ per vehicle retailed) in finance and insurance profit. Navigating that relationship will be interesting as OEMs take on more control of the sales process.
As a senior programmer working in finance, I would imagine you have quite a bit of savings. I would suggest taking some time away from work to learn something other than programming. I don’t think software is the biggest lever to pull in “climate tech.” These are problems of atoms, not really problems of bits.

However, if you are constrained such that you need to stay primarily in the software domain, I would recommend a lateral into something like a controls or optimization oriented roll. There are plenty of commercial and industrial buildings whose HVAC could operate more efficiently. There are plenty of ISOs and utilities who employ planners and forecasters (and this could be high leverage, as if we solve present day tasks like building lots of clean generation and storage, we will quickly find that transmission and distribution are the new constraints). You will see a lot of companies that are solving issues around measuring, dashboarding, and reporting, but I do not think this is high value work and I think the space is too crowded already, so I would very much recommend you find something where you are directly optimizing the deployment or operation of real physical assets.
That’s my point. Note I said it was unverifiable. Only one of us is pretending it’s a verifiable fact. I also know manny people who work at NASA, going back from the 1970s to present day. Some were astronauts. Many worked on the shuttle program directly. We seem to have very different ideas about what constitutes a “fact”.

But again, none of that matters unless you can verify your claim. We can just leave it as a known unknown and stop pretending it’s anything different.

Money is more expensive with higher interest rates.
> The rich have been dealing with ridiculous cost of living inflation since 2000

I hate the constant conflation of rich and wealthy. People who earn a lot of money vs people who own a lot of money. A lot of criticism about inequality, by politicians and economists alike, is about rising wealth inequality, but they only advocate and undertake policies to hurt the higher income class. Why is there no wealth tax, but the govt is funded primarily by income and payroll tax. Why is the federal reserve always worried about falling asset prices. And again here, rising house prices benefited the wealthy, and hurt the high income class, but you didn't differentiate between them either.

I work for a company that installs sensors that monitor water levels (reservoir and tidal) and make real-time dashboards with millimeter precision.

Previously, I was programming industrial machines in the manufacturing industry.

I found the company because I own a few shares of one of our partners. I saw a press release announcing the partnership and thought it sounded awesome, so I emailed and said "Here's my skillset. I'm excited by what you're doing. If you'd like to work together, let me know."

It is fully remote.

Yes, it makes an impact. Reservoir use our data to make informed decisions on moving water between or reservoirs and putting water restrictions in place.

We are a very small team. I report to the CTO, am given a lot of autonomy/freedom, and touch every part of our process from circuit board to customer-facing dashboard, so by extension I feel that I'm making a positive impact.

I enjoy restoring old windows and it makes me think of this a lot. It’s also refreshing to work on something “real” rather than a simulation of something. Simulated muntins (called grills now), simulated weight box moulding, etc.

It’s sad the window industry decided to treat windows like a regular disposable appliance with a 10-20 year life. But that’s how it goes.

They never did. Look at the predictive examples from the mid 20th century. Most of them got it wildly wrong, and I don't expect the people of today to do any better of a job when saying "look! here's what the future will be like!"
“With Stablesats-enabled Lightning wallets, users are able to send from, receive to and hold money in a USD account in addition to their default BTC account,” said Nicolas Burtey, CEO of Galoy, in a statement sent to Bitcoin Magazine. “While the dollar value of their BTC account fluctuates, $1 in their USD account remains $1 regardless of the bitcoin exchange rate.”

Notably, Galoy's implementation differs from a common "stablecoin" such as Tether's USDT in that there is no token –– it's just bitcoin stabilized into a dollar balance.
I think the best part of Klipper is that the settings are a single config file. No need to reflash or compile anything. I had such a struggle making BlTouch work with the original Ender 3 and gave up because of the whole process of changing one line, compile, pop SD card out, turn on printer and repeat. I manage to make it worth with Klipper since I can try everything without even getting up to touch the printer.

This is true in computer science, but not in all sciences, and certainly not in the humanities. Getting a TA-ship is considered undesirable in CS, but getting a TA-ship as a history PhD is considered rare and special.

There are a lot of problems, though. Your funding isn't guaranteed; you can be basically kicked out of the program (because very few people can afford to self-fund) for reasons that have nothing to do with you or your performance, and if this happens in your 4th or 5th year, you're fucked.

The other ugly fact is that even if you're not paying tuition, your advisor is. This means there's less money to send you to conferences or fund his lab, and it means he's under tighter financial constraints than he really should be. Your advisor gets his budget docked $80,000, and only $20,000 goes to you (the rest, to tuition). That's a bit ridiculous, especially because you're no longer taking many classes or using university resources except to do work on their behalf. There's no good reason you can't be paid $50,000 and your advisor has $30,000 more to fund his lab.
