I can't speak for how this person was using Caffeine, but I hope this doesn't launch a wave of negative attention towards it.

Believe it or not, I use a pencil and paper to think, diagram, and write notes when coding. My screen timeout is locked with some kind of god-mode-admin rights that my limited Mac Fu hasn't been able to circumvent. Very annoying to have to deal with the screen shutting off while I'm actively using the information on it. The Caffeine app has been invaluable for my productivity, and it's much better for power use than say, keeping the screen awake by having a Zoom meeting with just myself.
I'm curious what the efficiency gain actually is, especially because the main thing I noticed when our local switched was that delivery quality got noticeably worse (always dropped in the street vs. porch, usually late – especially in bad weather).

I would guess that this is probably more about the fact that there are fewer kids available (similar to afterschool jobs, if it doesn't look good on collage applications it's not a priority) and those kids having better-paying options available if they are working.
> My initial attempt was based on placing character images, one-by-one, onto a canvas element, but it was horribly sluggish.

I've done web-based terminal-style renders in a number of different ways for my roguelike [1]. I've done both DOM and canvas renderers. I found that the fastest approach to be:

1. Render each glyph to a canvas.

2. Only re-render glyphs that actually changed.

Doing that was much faster than using the DOM. I imagine I could go even faster using WebGL but at this point, I considered the performance good enough.

For anyone interested, my terminal library is written in Dart and is open source:

I have a question based on what you said here:

> one of our participants had a high level of phthalic acid, which can be found in plastics and cosmetics and is a chemical known to disrupt hormones in the body

Does this mean that if elevated levels of some weird metabolite are found in my blood, you'll let me know? You say you measure 600 of them - does that mean you check for weird/high levels of all 600, and if you find some, they'll be in the report?
Resume.io fires the whole dev team and replaces them with unqualified agency
Siracusa’s rants about the old Spatial Finder aside, I have really found that the Column view satisfies most of my needs quite easily. Especially if you just open up two windows when you need to move files from one place to another.

Tagging stuff and using saved searches for it is really nice too, Classic had tags but search was a lot slower. It’s really nice to decide which of my illustration commissions I want to work on today by opening a saved search for everything with the “commission” and “in progress” tags, sorted by last modification date, with big icons.
Netflix will be free? or they will keep increasing costs too?
Interestingly enough I picked RabbitMQ for the same reasons for a distributed execution system I designed at work. RabbitMQ provides a lot of nice to have features and flexibility when it comes to delivering messages between endpoints. The fact that you get access control, easy encryption, multiple protocols (mqtt/amqp/stomp etc), excellent reliability and scalability rolled into a mature system is pretty awesome. The concepts are easy to understand and get real code working. The interfaces with RabbitMQ are simple enough that you could replace it with something else without having to untangle a whole lot. The other killer feature for me was async event listening which cuts out a lot of overhead from polling / long polling.
>I remember going on deep YouTube rabbit holes in another era, because their recommendations always pointed to new, highly related content. Then, at some point in time, YouTube switched their recommendations algorithm to direct me to a mixture of 1) videos (mostly on unrelated topics) that I've already viewed, 2) videos about topics that I've recently searched for or watched that are unrelated to the current video, 3) videos trending across all of YouTube, and etc.

I've been working on a small team to tackle this problem. We have a working prototype if anyone is interested in checking it out. Look up a channel to get a list of channels in the same niche or related niches. It is specifically designed to surface smaller creators.

Here is our list for 3Blue1Brown, which seems to be popular around here:

https://channelgalaxy.com/id%3DUCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw/

The icons are crawlable links, so you can click the channels in a given list to go to the list for that channel.

We also have mapped the channels to provide a new way to explore. The map clusters similar channels so you can get a spatial sense of where your interests are and what interests and niches are very far away, ones you may not consider or even be aware exist. For the curious, here is a short blog post explaining the map and how to use it:

https://channelgalaxy.com/blog/article0/

I hope this isn't too self-promotional. I think there is a need for this kind of thing and it is hard to resist the many, many cries of frustration about user exploration on YouTube and the narrowness of their recommendations that I frequently see around here.

Cheers!
I've heard them referred to as the "tin snail" in the UK, but I'm not sure how common that is.

Yes, we agree that being confronted with a health issue without any way to go forward would be emotionally stressful. For aging specifically, the good news is that an overall healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep) appears to slow the biological aging process. So, if we report an accelerated aging rate to you, this could also serve as a simple wake-up call to do something.

The idea of masking certain aspects with different levels of granularity during onboarding and according to each person's comfort level is excellent. We will take this into consideration.
As a regular Total Commander user since version 3-point-something (and Norton Commander before that), I cannot imagine ever going back to Windows Explorer for file management. I'm infinitely faster than coworkers who work with Explorer, and it's awesome.

Seeing an almost-perfect clone as fully open-source software makes me happy. However, building a fully-featured open-source clone is probably years in the future, even for the features I use most. One just has to read the release notes for Total Commander to see what kind of corner-cases and special cases Christian (Total Commander author) has had to take care of. Just being able to put copy jobs into the background, work some more, and then bring them back into foreground again I cannot even imagine on how tricky this was to code so that it works correctly (and all using Pascal, no less)

I will definitely keep an eye out on this one, but I don't think I'll make the switch in the near future.
Launch HN: Neuraan - The NLP API specialized in the Spanish language
Hello HN!

We’re Israel & Mario, cofounders of Neuraan (https://neuraan.com). It is difficult for natural language processing developers in LatAm to get their applications to have the same accuracy in Spanish as in English. We create an API that helps them correct those inaccuracies and increase the adoption of their solution.

We have +6 years of experience developing chatbots and voice assistants for large enterprises across LatAm and was very common to end up doing some research and developing algorithms to enhance the accuracy that the commercial solutions like Dialogflow, Watson, Amazon Lex, and Azure Cognitive deliver because they provide a general solution for non-English languages.

To provide an extra layer to improve the performance of conversational applications in Spanish we developed a RESTful API that allows developers and enterprises to provide a few examples of the intents and entities used by their applications to enhance the recognition. We are using a few shot learning strategies developed using various Machine Learning strategies including deep neural networks along with self-developed algorithms.

This solution permits the enhancement of the recognition of goal-oriented applications (create a support ticket, extract data from a user conversation, make a telephonic sale, etc.) instead of standard NLP engines' general Spanish.

Our pricing is based on API requests.

We look forward to feedback from the HN community!
"We are about to enter a silicon slump with low demand and oversupply"

What causes you to assume that?

"What will happen [if...] people finally figure out that a rocket that blows up stuff doesn't need a 2nm chip?"

One, they'll learn that we're not doing too hot on custom chip fabs in general? They'll also, if they're really that dense, learn that we need chips for a few more things than to make things go boom. (FWIW, they're not that dense.)

"They are going to lose interest and those subsidies that is Intel's last hope will end."

Even if the rest of your statements were correct (and I don't think they are), that is absolutely not how subsidies work. Local subsidies translate to local jobs translate to votes. Keeping them running is rather important to politicians. So, no, "lose interest" is not exactly the most likely failure mode here.
I'm thinking demineralized water, of which distillation is several ways to produce it. The rub seems to be that it leeches minerals from both the body and distribution mechanisms (like metal piping)
YC Event: Becoming a founding engineer at a YC startup, Aug 10th
We see a lot of interest from HN on what working at a startup is like, and particularly being one of the first few engineers.

Next Wednesday, YC is running an event to learn more about being a founding engineer at a startup.

We'll have three founding engineers sharing their experiences at early stage startups -- Gar from Cambly, Jordan from Explo and Jennifer from Finley.

We'll start with some questions about the differences between larger vs. early startups, what the pros and cons are, and then open it to Q&A from the audience.

At YC, we try to be pretty open and honest about working at early stage companies, and we hope this will shed more light on what the experience is like, and if it's right for you.

Let us know if you're coming at the link below, and feel free to shoot questions to ryan@ycombinator.com.

The idea of planetary boundaries is ridiculous. Are you talking about the collapse of an ecosystem? Multiple ecosystems? That’s still defined. But planetary boundaries is another word for “saving the earth.”

No. The earth doesn’t need saving. The diversity of life needs saving. Planetary boundaries is the wrong goal.
It's not uncommon to use "Yiddish" to refer to things that have a Jewish, especially Jewish-American, feel or aesthetic without necessarily saying they are ethnically or religiously Jewish.
Do CTOs really understand their systems, implementations and realities on the ground? I kinda feel at that level its about budgets and choosing platforms based on marketshare and industry. They aren't looking at alternative platforms more than once a decade.

Implementing a New IO Scheduler Algorithm for Mixed Read/Write Workloads
Definitely looks interesting. Is there some sort of test for accuracy of the SQL?
Best way to learn is by working with someone experienced.

Or just use mature solution like Rails for example it solves most of typical problems and has easy itegrations. If you need more flexibility then maybe Node.js or other ecosystem is better.

Generally theme about architecture is called System Design and there are resources to learn it for interviews/learning purposes but most of it only is applicable at very big scale and you might never need it. Read "Designing Data Intensive Applications" and look into [1] if still interested.

IMO better to invest time into data design/querying (caching) so that you won't think you need some vodoo to handle your traffic. Like 90%+ of sites/apps don't have 1000req/second and this should be handled by Python on Arduino so as long as your DB design is good you are fine.

For async processing it's worth taking a look into Temporal [2] as it looks as promising alternative to job ques and cronjobs.

I can also recommend [3] to learn some cloud patterns

The real local reporting we now enjoy in the Bay Area (e.g. Cityside) is so much better than anything we got to read during the heyday of the Chronicle. I doubt that Newmark regrets killing the metastatic disease that was legacy newspapers.
I have two contacts on my ATT iPhone to enable and disable cell network calling, based on this that I found somewhere:

"You actually can turn off cellular network calling altogether, if you are willing to do that.
Dial (star)#67# (or call 611 if it doesn't show up there) to see what number your voicemail center is. Then dial (star)21(star)1(that number)#. That will automatically forward all calls, at the network level, to your voicemail.
To cancel this, dial #21#."
The textbook solution is for the incumbent to spin off companies to deal with the disruptor. And one of the textbook examples is Intel.
I never, ever get legitimate calls from overseas. Just turn those calls off for my phone.

Well, perhaps callbacks from helpdesks located in other countries, in which case give me time-boxed control over foreign calls, and perhaps a passcode that I can communicate along with my callback number.

There are billions of dollars at stake, of course. This is a solvable problem, and the FCC doesn't even need to get involved. The carriers care more about the money than their customers (so what else is new?)
Gambling in general is a loser's game, but the games people TYPICALLY play in gambling isn't generational wealth.

What makes the lottery slightly different is "YOLO": yeah on average it is not a good play, but someone presumably wins, and for their one shot in life it gets transformed with generational wealth.

That is: go big or go home.

... well, except that most lottery winners lose it all, but that's a different issue.

To emphasize, I'm not advocating playing the lottery, just that odds don't really account for the biological reality of only getting one life to live.
If I don't have TC shortcuts in my muscle memory, am I losing out on using Krusader on linux rather than Double Commander?
> At one time if you even _looked up_ the availability of a domain name they would immediately register it so if you tried to then register it at Namecheap or GoDaddy the name was taken already.

What would be their overhead for doing that? Seems like it's something that could be fun to subvert until they stop (e.g. do lookups of UUIDs in a loop).
I'd be happy to cancel it for you. The reason we have a subscription model is that most value can be derived from the metabolite trends rather than a single snapshot.

Microsoft Teams optimized for Apple Silicon
Smarty was prime to takeover the templating space in 2004 what happened?

PHP has had solutions from the beginning or at least early times.

PHP lacked that cult figurehead and was always community based. Most new languages are corporate sourced (open source by corporations).
After each query, you get to see the raw SQL that was generated and a plain English explanation of it! You can also download the queried data to inspect.
The underlying issue seems to be that Bob Ross, Inc, was set up with a right of survivorship. Since the Kowalskis outlived Bob (and his wife at the time) they ended up owning the company. Right of survivorship is common in real estate^1 but seems like a bad choice for a non-family business because n-1 owners will get shafted.

1. Example: a parent and a child own property as join tenants with right of survivorship. The parent dies and the child now owns the property without having to deal with wills or go through probate.
Not talking about organizations, talking about a little group of people or a startup building something fast to get some cash flow or a poc. Php is there when you just need to get something done and live. I built my SaaS in 4 months with php, probably did 40 total hours of updates over the life of the application and it was used for a decade performing some relatively complex process management.
You can also poll an /events endpoint to get a consistent ordering.

I used /events to apply writes from Stripe to a local database for this reason in the tdog CLI:

Yes. Both large-scale farming and increased population in the southwest are bad ideas.
It's more than a narrative for sure.
How did they allow this? I think text is just an alternative that most people prefer for large number of use cases.
This paper is a dog's breakfast. Even the header isn't properly proofread (it reads "JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015"). Figure 5 shows the results of an experiment where people were asked to rate the mean faces, which seems irrelevant to the rest of the work.

There could be some interesting work in this area, for example to support or reject the popular belief in Asia that visible sclera above or below the iris is indicative of mental health, but this paper isn't it.
The perfect time to recommend Fire of Love (2022): https://imdb.com/title/tt16227014/

It a beautiful documentary with footage from the 60s-90s about a volcanist couple who embarked on a mission to understand volcanoes scientifically and (later) educate the public about their dangers. Terrific cinematography!

Edit: I now see it has 99% critics review on rotten tomatoes (88% from the audience)

Starbucks offers very competitive benefits to part time employees who work at least roughly ~20 hours per week (520hours/182 days*7days per week). Of course, the obligation is not comparable to delivering newspapers for an hour during the morning before school.

>You establish initial benefits eligibility the first day of the second month after receiving at least 240 total hours over three full, consecutive months.
Your total hours include both Benefits hours (BEN) to account for your paid hours and Leave of Absence hours (LOA) to account for time while on approved, eligible leave.

>To continue eligibility, you must have at least 520 total hours on paychecks received between the first and last days in each six-month measurement period, for semi-annual audits on January 6 and July 6.

>Occasionally, there may be fewer pay periods than usual in an audit measurement period. When this occurs, we will adjust your required total hours needed—it will still be 20 hours per week.

I think this is valid criticism and feels similar to restaurants that don’t put pepper on the table because the chef considers the food to be seasoned to the intended level before it leaves the kitchen. Some customers may be turned off by that level of pride, but other customers are willing to pay a premium for that level of pride to be shown by their chef.
Yes, absolutely. The difference between a lock and a book though, is that the lock primarily has some ongoing functional purpose. Generally with books, they are consumed (non-destructively), and then their value is drastically diminished to the owner, leading them to resell them. I get to keep all the great memories of the book that I read even after I sell it, but I probably will not think back to all the times I locked and unlocked my door.
Who's they? You clearly don't work in a sector that requires clearance. By nature those fields tend to be more quiet publicly, but the cold rage against those who break security protocols knows no party. And it wasn't even like Snowden, who at least had a cause you could debate as Patriotic, it was just pure laziness and elitism on the part of those who are supposed to be our leaders

Christian Ghisler has been developing Total Commander for 27 years, since 1995. While he didn't invent the idea of two-pane file manager and more or less reimplemented Norton Commander in proper graphics-mode GUI, he added so much more to it over those three decades that it wouldn't be right to call it a copy of NC; moreover, he didn't ship it for free, he priced it at the same $49.

What the author of Copy, sorry, Double Commander does is pure and simple dumping. It's like standing next to a bakery and giving away same cakes for free. Does that feel right?

I wonder how the development of Double Commander is backed financially.

I agree that we ought to encourage more physical fitness, but realistically most Space Force Guardians are never going to deploy to a combat zone. Are you expecting a terrorist attack on Peterson Space Force Base or something? Many of the Space Force jobs aren't even really "military" in any meaningful sense; they could be done by civilian contractors but are put into a military branch for budgetary and security reasons.

If someone has the aptitude to be a good satellite technician but can't meet fitness standards due to severe asthma or using a wheelchair or whatever, should they be turned away in the name of maintaining a fighting force? The military already has trouble filling recruiting quotas for some of the more technically demanding jobs, so paradoxically reducing fitness standards for certain non-combat MOS's might actually increase overall combat readiness.
