I signed up for the year subscription.

But that's not actually what I want. I want a one-time payment because I know I'm terrible with these recurring subscriptions. I know in a year I'm going to be like "damn, I didn't cancel that??"

Could you please implement non-recurring purchases? Or at least, enable it for users who ask.

Speaking of which, could you make my purchase non-recurring? My username is the same as HN.
It would be fantastic if it included a time estimate too. They could use the De Bello Gallico as reference for expected speeds (maybe toned down a little, to account for Julius Caesar's well-known self-aggrandizing tendencies).
Meta: Bitter Apt Espionage Attack Leveraged Apple’s TestFlight Service
My time allocation is very general; the point is that a developer-entrepreneur will spend most of their time doing things other than coding.

(And I could argue that "finding customers" encompasses "the time to think about the direction". But I'm a shitty solo developer-entrepreneur, who's mostly trying to steer people like me in the right direction, which is to figure out how to find the right people to work with.)
I don't even know what I'm 'supposed' to be using.

Which app goes with my google workspace account for work stuff? If I create a "Meet" room from within GMail and give my family the link as a text, now all of a sudden when they kick it asks to open the "Meet (original)", what does that even mean. How is a normal person supposed to understand this?

I'm not even upset, it's just so goofy that this is the work product from one of the largest companies with the best engineers.
Important distinction: TeX is an interpreter, not a compiler.
Is it actually standard practice to use nitrogen fertilizers with soybeans? Soy is a nitrogen fixer and I've read that nitrogen fertilizers often reduce yields for soybeans because it interferes with nodulation and undermines that plant's nitrogen fixing capacities.
Agreed. All it takes is one operator extracting enriched rods once in a while to become proliferation.
> But the neat thing is you can flip a switch and then the thing just becomes a Nissan Leaf with a really crazy body kit. So some future "track day" car based on this concept would be surprisingly practical.

This car is really cool, I'm not going to argue against that for a single second. But your suggestion of a "practical track day car" is missing the fact that there are two things making this crazy fast: huge downforce and ridiculously low weight. It weighs less than half of what a Nissan Leaf does, has a single seat, no storage for anything, no aircon etc. etc.

If you tried to make it approach the practicality of a Nissan Leaf while still being performant, you would not just need more space and weight for the practicality, but you'd end up tripling the weight since you would also need a much bigger battery pack to keep the runtime at the current ~30 minutes on a track, bigger motors to keep the acceleration high when you're dragging that weight, much wider tyres to enable cornering at these speeds, etc. etc. Then you're no longer killing hypercars but rather maybe matching a Bugatti Veyron, and you might as well just go for standard aero so you don't have the 120 dB (!!) fan noise inside the cabin.
That was worse than getting rick-rolled.
I worked at several companies where the main competition is Excel and competing against it sucks because you have to change how people work to get them to use their product and people don't like that. They come up with "deal breakers" about why the software won't work for them and then imply that if you fix those things, they will adopt it. This is always false. I'm hoping my next job has another company as its main competitor instead.
> Electric ones are quieter, inexpensive, and work just as well nowadays. My building has an electric Milwaukee that was 200 bucks and lasts all afternoon on a battery or two

Not really. I committed to the Milwaukee battery system and now have a leaf blower, a string trimmer, and a chainsaw, to maintain a few acres (nothing fancy just keeping it from being overrun with invasives). They all perform reasonably well in the instantaneous sense, but battery performance is a huge limiting factor. I get about 15-20 minutes of total runtime from everything at conservative speeds (turtle mode for the trimmer/blower, medium speed for the chainsaw).

But the bigger issue is heat dissipation, if you actually run them for 5 minutes in a row the battery heats up, drains super quickly, and the thermal failsafe shuts it down. Then the battery takes quite a long time to cool off during which time it can't be charged. To run these things at full load you need a collection of like 10 batteries (very expensive even if using "compatible" knockoffs) and a second person managing the battery logistics.

So, using these practically means running them in very short bursts with cooldown time in between, which is usually not conducive to efficient work patterns.

For the chainsaw, instead of felling a tree, then limbing/bucking it, then moving the wood to its storage place, it's more like do one or two cuts, move the pieces to storage, repeat - And a helper can't speed things up by moving wood as I'm bucking it. That being said, I typically don't drop more than 1 tree at a time and it is nice to not have to stop and restart a gas chainsaw.

The string trimmer is good for hitting small patches / edges separated by distance, but I actually bought another gas trimmer for mowing my rocky+stumpy hillside.

The leaf blower is basically garbage I regret buying; I went back to using a rake and have used the blower maybe once or twice for blowing powdery snow off of things and accelerating fires, mostly just because the thing is in my garage.

The one consistently good thing about them is it's possible to use them after dark without seeming like a total crackhead, which is nice I guess
Sorry my response was geared more towards what I hope the future of e2e (and bleeding into integration) testing could entail, independent of what we manage to accomplish - as opposed to trying to sell our product. I do get excited thinking about where testing can improve - with the end goal that developers get to ship reliable apps for their users with less frustration of testing along the way. Our product is very much just a minuscule fraction of our way there with our current iteration.

I also totally agree - e2e tests deserve better tooling to debug, and that alone we've found quite compelling of a product to be working on already, and I appreciate you find it cool as well :D

With regards to picking the right level of testing - I think there's a few km long rabbit hole to go down with that one, and I totally admit I hold strong beliefs that are different from most people in testing today. I agree though - there's always going to be a different preferred tool for different problems. It'd be pretty wild to expect e2e testing to accomplish the bulk of it! That being said, I think if e2e tests were better in a few dimensions, developers might find it useful for more use cases than they do today (some teams we talk to want to do more e2e tests but find the shortfalls as a real barrier to justify the investment).
Though bitcoin volatility has been going down along the years, it might be quite stable after 10 years or so.
No. Even if the places would be as widely distributed as the postal office, I would pass. Chances are, you need to reset your password when travelling abroad.

This is how I lost my yahoo e-mail account (nearly 20 years ago): I needed to change the password after checking my e-mail in an Internet cafe (remember those?) in Italy while on vacation. This was before smart phones and there was no WiFi in the hotel (or much anywhere). The reset went through fine, but when Yahoo! asked for my age to get the temporary password, I had no idea what I told them (what, you told an Internet site your actual date of birth?) and that was that. Just what you need when travelling w/o phone service. I got a gmail account shortly thereafter (and I have a record of what lies I told them).

I have a strong sensation of dejavu right now.
It was a little weird/annoying to be contacted, my assumption was they're trying to upsell me on something.

But nope, they're just great support. Like you said it's always the same person so maybe I got lucky with Jimmy as my rep, but he's been super helpful. Had a similar situation to yours where I bough 1 synth 2 road-cases. He called me asking if it was a mistake and it was.

They also try to assign you to someone with similar interests. So I doubt Jimmy could help much if I wanted to get into classical woodwinds, but he knows his stuff about synths and setting then up in a studio.
I thought one of the reasons Knuth made TeX was because there were no good math typesetters available. I have no idea if this assumption is correct, but one of the main reasons I've resorted to using LaTeX in the past is for the math typesetting. I haven't found any good alternatives, and it seems incredibly complex compared to basic kerning + line breaks and/or justification for regular English-like text layout.

So if this implementation lacks math typesetting, and that was one of the motivating factors behind the original TeX implementations, then I think this code is missing a pretty complex core feature.
Nobody thinks that change is inherently good. Change is a product of time, not a moral dimension.

I don't consider myself a progressive per se, but I think their framing would be something like this: change, if not good in itself, frequently begets opportunities to make things better.
CockroachDB is not strict serializable. It is linearizable+serializable+(some other guarantee I forget).

Only Spanner currently offers properly scalable strict serializability, as FoundationDB clusters have a size limit (that is very forgiving, and enough for most use cases).

Apache Cassandra is working on providing scalable (without restriction) strict serializable transactions[1], and they should arrive fairly soon. So far as I am aware, at this time it will be the only distributed database besides Spanner offering fully scalable and fast global transactions with this level of isolation.

I think a more interesting analogy than water/electricity would be storage.

Selling child porn has a special place in the law in a way that "feeding suspected CP criminals" does not.

But storing is also special. Storing child porn is very illegal, so how far does that extend? Does AWS renting an EC2 instance to pornhub, knowing pornhub may store CP on it, mean AWS is complicit in storing child porn?

Does Western Digital selling an SSD to pornhub for their datacenter make WD complicit in storing child porn?

Does the data-center that leases them a server become complicit in storing and distributing CP?

I would agree. I'm an Apple Numbers user now but I have yet to find something even remotely as useful as the spreadsheet abstraction. I use them for everything from solving engineering problems, forecasting, statistics, decision analysis to personal finance and project planning. I could solve all of the problems with a programming language but it'd take 10x as long.

My theory is that Shakespeare is full of old jokes and old metaphors, for which we don't have an earlier written version. He is this one person that is so often quoted and repeated that it seems unbelievable that he could come up with so many memorable lines.

I have two completely different takes on this.

On one hand, if a business generating almost $500M in revenue per year[1] is doing something illegal, it shouldn't be allowed to operate. Simple as that. If it is allowed to operate, then it should have access to the same payment methods as any other business.

On another hand, if I belonged to a group of people who believe that such companies shouldn't exist[2] and had no way of getting them banned completely, that's exactly what I would try to do: force their biggest business partners to cut ties with them.

I thought the default was to reboot after dumping memory to disk as a dumpfile, which tended to give you ample time with slow hard drives.
Somehow my system got itself into a state for a while where it had a registry key set to just not make dump files, and that key was not fixed even when using the normal control panel based settings panel that is meant to let you change those settings, OR the dedicated microsoft tool built to give administrators more control over BSODs.

The correct way to troubleshoot a BSOD isn't on the BSOD screen anyway. You open up the dumpfile in windbg and click "analyze" so it can spit out some good details for you.

Is that on purpose? Can you handle accented characters? laitn1 vs uf8? What about this kind of problems when someone forget the tilde?
This is why I really think of advertising as tech’s version of the resource curse, where countries with rich natural resources are prone to foundering because even incompetent rulers can stay rich as long as the oil keeps flowing. Both Google and Facebook hit this point where they have an enormous influx of cash to support all of these ventures where people can make all kinds of bad decisions without impacting the bottom line for years, if ever.

As a [very small] shareholder I really think they’d be healthier if Alphabet siloed the finances more so e.g. the messages leadership got paid only if that project worked out. Right now they can just fiddle around and still be in the top couple percent income range without any feedback that they were making terrible calls.

Most developed countries (especially EU, but even USA) require that hospital take care of actual medical emergencies regardless of ability to pay or immigration status.

This is different than getting a doctor checkup or a scheduled surgery. For that you need to go home. But if you get into a car accident in the UK while a digital nomad, the process is probably the same as if you were a tourist.

E.g. NHS would take care of you, and sort the billing out later. And tourist insurance would probably even take care of you. For insurance underwriting purposes, being a nomad is a plus (other than customs law), because you spend all day in a library or WeWork, not bungee jumping or safari riding.

Of course, your point is correct that being on a tourist visa vs (say in the USA) a green card does cause a lot of headaches. Landlords will not rent long term to you. You cannot get a local job in case your main employer fires you (and you fall in love with the place). You'll have a hard time getting utilities, a bank account, etc.
Sounds really cool - glad to have you guys in the Godot space.
Google is really big, makes a lot of money on one thing, does a bunch of extra stuff on the side, and doesn't have strong central control. Those things are pretty unique. A few other large companies could do things like this, but don't.

I'm already using this timestamp technique on my website and so far no bot operator has bothered trying to work around this. However even if some bot operator were to specifically target a website using this technique and try to decrease the timestamp, I believe you could still force a bot to wait by just changing the website to use something like a cryptographic nonce that includes a timestamp instead of just a simple timestamp that can be understood easily.
No worries, lol. It happens. But I think the sentiment is accurate. I don't know who would use GitLab after this. I mainly switched to GitHub when they introduced free private repositories, but I'll definitely be switching all my remaining private GitLab repositories over.

I have not been part of the hyperbolic PDE subfield of mathematical relativity (but a sibling subfield) but the (in-)stability of Kerr black holes had always been presented to me as one of the big open questions in that field.

And, now putting on my physicist's hat, it is indeed: I mean, if Kerr black holes had turned out to be instable, then black holes wouldn't last very long and the question would have been what the photos from the Event Horizon Telescope are actually showing. (Note: It is expected that in nature all black roles rotate at least slightly, so are of the Kerr kind.)

It's not isolated to Google, for example there's the whole Microsoft Skype, Lync, Communicator, Skype for Business, Messenger, Yammer, and Teams stuff that went on for years.

Show HN: Release-notifier.com – Get notified of new releases from GitHub repos
Hi everyone,

this is a very small project I did some time ago, because the existing tools like gitpunch didn't worked at that given time.

With my tool you are able to get notified by email or webhook (e.g. Rocket.chat) if a specific repository on github gets a new release.

It's a simple rails SaaS and without costs. TBH if many people are interested in the tool maybe there could be a fee in the future, but that's a story in the future and not for you "early adopters" :)

Have a nice day!
