My grandma just creates a new google account whenever she gets locked out and it doesn't matter because she doesn't use email for anything important.

I'm starting to wonder if she's the smarter one.
Enthusiast driven software can be really good. Eg the enthusiast community has given us OSS automated insulin delivery systems.
Web notifications are like the new search-engine windows toolbar spam. Probably some companies use these notifications responsibly, but half way through day 1 I turned them off and have been blocking them ever since. If I visited your news site once to read 1 article which may or may not have disappointed me, I’m not turning notifications on.

Can confirm that the React beta docs do not use Docusaurus, and it 100% makes sense to me. I've explained why here: https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/14527225683902218...

Note that we also want to explore if Docusaurus could run on top of Next.js, Gatsby, Remix, and eventually become framework-agnostic.

The Docusaurus team is relatively small, and can't really compete with Vercel/Next.js on the static site generator infra, build performance etc... Until now we mostly focused on implementing a good set of flexible docs feature.
That's how Asahi is built; you still have macOS on a separate partition, so you can boot to either OS at will.
Well, I can't wait for Godot 4 + C# now.

After trying Godot 3.5, it felt like an inferior Unity.

The 4 alpha feels great.

My big fear with Unity isn't a total collapse, but gradual suckification of the engine. For now it's still the easiest way to build amazing games, but things are changing.

I'd be surprised if Godot or another FOSS engine wasn't dominant by 2025, or at the very least viewed as Blender is compared to Maya.
Personally it’s because I don’t enjoy solving the problem once in one language and then transcribing it into a totally different language and worrying I got the transformation correct (+ I still need to write all the same tests). Also, afaik proof languages don’t have libraries for building up more and more proofs, and, even if they did, they’re not going to come bundled with random runtime dependency X I picked to implement it. It doesn’t feel like it will be an enjoyable experience and there’s generally little incentive from the buyer’s end (ie management aren’t typically demanding it / hiring for it / giving time in the schedule to write proofs).

And as far as it helping with other languages, I feel like practical TypeScript understanding doesn’t benefit particularly from proofs. Rust and Haskell I can’t make claims about but if that’s true those languages will suffer (but I don’t think it’s really needed).

If the service you are proxying offers authentication based on token within cookies, does that mean that you will have access to tokens hosted on the client side? Should you disclose a potential security risk to them (same for credentials interception)?
This is one of those situations that make it incredibly clear that even Google, with all its resources, never considers the use case or life experience of anyone besides a wealthy Bay Area tech worker when designing their products. I can't help but wonder how this blind spot got so big - and why they still don't address things like this even with all the user testing & A/B trials they do for ruthless optimization. Is it just because usability has no correlation with profit, and so the feedback loop is broken?
So it's just a CNAME record with a legally questionable "branding removal" feature?
The NBER's definition and Siri's definition are not even in conflict. As PolitiFact states:

> [T]he definition read by Siri [...] includes an important word that the narrator glosses over, namely "generally." In other words, the one-sentence definition Siri provided is not a closed answer. It’s a general guidance that includes exceptions.

PolitiFact does discuss why the NBER definition is more nuanced than the 2-quarter heuristic, but this is mere exposition behind their main point.

> Water usage is a local issue where water goes through X rather than Y. Water usage in Pakistan has zero effect on Germany, unlike CO2 emmissions.

Not entirely accurate:

> The virtual water trade (also known as embedded or embodied water) is the hidden flow of water in food or other commodities that are traded from one place to another.[1] The virtual water trade is the idea that when goods and services are exchanged, so is virtual water.

A concrete example from another comment:

> With the Saudi Arabian landscape there being mostly desert and alfalfa being a water-intensive crop, growing it there has always been expensive and draining on scarce water resources, to the point that the Saudi government finally outlawed the practice in 2016. In the wake of the ban, Almarai decided to purchase land wherever it is cheap and has favorable water conditions to produce enough feed for its 93,000 cows.

Reboots almost always suck. The only exception I can think of is rebooted Battlestar Galactica which was great. All the new star trek suck - Orville is unironically truer to the original star trek vision then Discover or Picard. So what will they do to Max Headroom? Odds are that it will be ruined, but I also would love to be proven wrong on this.

Also, a really key part of the original was the actor Matt Frewer. It'll be a tough job to find someone like him.

Ask HN: How do you learn about a company's distribution channel/strategy?
Hi HN,

I'm a software dev that runs a business (and a long-time lurker on HN).

I learnt about the following books on HN and learnt a lot from each:
- Traction
- Spin Selling
- The Right It
- Innovators Dilemma

PG and YC investors recommend aspiring founders to study their market thoroughly beforehand.

The ins and outs of the problem, the group of people who have the problem, how much it costs them, who decides to make the purchase, etc.

This process involves studying competitors, how big they are, who is their target, how they reach their customers, features, opportunity, etc.

While I use LinkedIn, Google search and other governmental sources to learn more about my competitors. Doing so, only gives me info about their product, location, number of employees and estimated revenue.

What's a good way to learn more about a company's target and how they reach them?

Most of the resources suggest that every company becomes successful with the help of a single traction channel and that even the course of a businesses life only a couple of channels are really useful.

How can one learn about which channel an existing company is using to reach their target?

Thanks in advance!
I've been saying for a while now that the big tech companies have a strong desire to embed themselves into all our lives, and become a central part of our lives: but the all seem to forget that "with great power comes great responsibility" and none of them want to provide the level of support required to prevent people losing everything important in their life due to a stupid technical problem.

It's well overdue time they realised that if you want to be the sole way people communicate with each other, pay their bills, communicate with the government, and hold cherished memories, that they have a strong responsibility to provide a very strong level of support to prevent people from losing their entire online identity - and thus their entire offline identity as well.
> The Mac keyboard layout is US-like

In Israel we have the option of choosing Macs with US layout or keyboard layout. What changes is mainly the enter key on two rows of the European models, the character "`", and the characters next to the shift keys.
Not sure what you're implying here. CLI applications? Because they'd obviously behave the same.

The issues I've noticed are around desktop applications. For example if I select some text in KWrite (KDE's "Notepad") by using SHIFT+CTRL+LEFT_ARROW then it will select the word. If I do the equivalent in Notes (macOS) it will select the whole line, not just the word (I tested this just now too).

This platform specific behavioural differences isn't something that's unique when comparing to KWrite vs Notes, I just picked those applications as an example. It also isn't just SHIFT+CTRL+LEFT_ARROW that differs. There's a quite a few subtle differences when using the keyboard to navigate around text areas. None of them significant but they're always enough to break my concentration when trying to get stuff done.

A lot of these can be redefined. Both on Linux and on macOS though. So you can absolutely make the two platforms behave the same way, given enough time and motivation. So we are just talking about defaults here.
You know it, smegsicle.

Check out the github graphical client for windows, it's pretty easy to understand and use the basic features. It also shows graphically what's going on: Changes of each commit, history of commits, merge conflicts, who did what, and so on. And you don't need the terminal, which is a bit daunting if you never used it before
yikes. old poor people are having their lives upended because technology has infiltrated the processes by which basic business is conducted and the designers of said technology had not bothered to consider them as a real use case, and your response is "she's not asking nicely enough."

Thanks nindalf!

Yes that's the value prop of Docusaurus: you can get started in 5 minutes, but the tool scales well with your usage if you need something more advanced
We did. Our use case is spinning up containers on demand to user actions, giving them ephemeral, internet-routable hostnames, and shutting them down when all inbound connections have dropped. Because users are waiting to interact with these containers, we found the start times with Kubernetes too slow and its architecture to be a bad fit.

We ended up writing our own control plane that uses NATS as a message bus. We are in the process of open sourcing it here: https://github.com/drifting-in-space/spawner
The whole point of Oberon was the Smalltalk like experience, or to be more precise Mesa/Cedar like experience.

So to offer a bare bones language in 2022 without an OS that is at least at the same level of Blue Bottle, let alone what consumers expect from a modern OS is really not attainable.

It remains a nice language to look at as language nerd, and at the end of the day, pick something else when delivering software into production with the expectations that Swift, C#, Kotlin and so on can fulfill.
Hotmail once deleted all my emails because I hadn't logged in through the web interface for 30 days, instead used another client. Then one day I got a weird message and logged into the web interface to find all my emails from more than a decade gone.
It's almost like people think that they should be entitled to rights, or something. Perhaps the government should give them some rights, in that case.

Not for me. Looks like it might work if I disable "require attention" (weather has been pretty bad this summer, so I don't have my shades close by to test).
You can require the content creator to add a specific confirmation code / page to their site and you check that before you enable the copying.
If it WERE true, we'd be using a lot more wood and coal still, alongside petroleum. And you'd need to constantly be finding ways around the horses and carriages on your way into work.

But for all the ways it isn't 100% true, there is still a pointing toward truth in it. It's more like 100 steps forward, 99 steps back. We're not holding still, just progressing a lot slower than it seems like we would be given the advances, and this explains why/how.
Luckily you're not required to publish software on the App Store. Many developers sell direct from their website these days.
The iPhone business sponsored Apple's chip development; and that business is bigger than the PC market.
ahah, I welcome all comments, haters are a good source of engagement ;)
Never started. My work infrastructure is Elastic Beanstalk and my personal infra is either hand-managed containers or Dokku. Previous gig maintained an internal abstraction on top of Kubernetes but it wasn't something I ever had to mess with.
There is a law of diminishing returns I think. I found that more advertising for my web based service resulted in a lower conversion rate. It's a matter of balance.
I just wish other laptop hardware was on par with Apple. One can’t deny their attention to detail, fit and finish.
> A couple weeks ago here on HN there was an article about how for every one high paying tech worker there is a network effect of jobs created around them. Would seem like that's the angle being played here, but given the "requirements" it really isn't clear that these programs will have a meaning impact.

The reality is less opportune, and you need only look at what has happened in Portugal and how the locals haven't had much of a benefit whereas, the investor-real estate holding class have benefited immensely.

Rising rents and gentrification have not yielded much for the locals, whose local businesses are less frequented than anticipated. It's a paradox, because one could argue that their are less measurable metrics: culture exchange, integration etc... but it's the crux of this program or any other DN project. It's about bringing in some much needed capital from high net-worth workers into the country to offset dwindling population and a lower tax base.
Still going strong in clients works, big companies.

For personal projects I roll with just docker.

Yes

Ants are not mammals so procreation and societal structure is very different from humans. Same in bees etc.

From evolutionary perspective, only your genes are „your“ genes. And from tribal perspective, procreation of each (quality) member is for the better.

P.S. At some points in human history we had a similar only-chosen-procreate tendency. But it was overturned. I'd argue that for the better. Humans who have a stake in the future seem to care more about the society. Compared to ants-like society where warlord procreates and the rest of men just guards his harem.

Nope, the charging circuitry (most commonly) and/or BMS (less common) inside the car can handle this easily.

Other than it being cleaner in many ways (all build artefacts in one place, your base directory structure never getting touched, no chance of accidentally checking in build artefacts into your repo), you can have several different build configurations 'active' in parallel (build.release, build.debug, build.cuda etc.) and then activate the right build by just going to the relevant folder and running make.
Choosing to not recognize that political labels, like all subcultures (punk, goth, cottagecore, vsco girl, suburban dad, tech bro, raver, lgbt), have “aesthetics” that affect huge cross-sections of people’s lives from fashion, interests, to purchases doesn’t make them go away, it only lowers your own predictive power.

With prices climbing there is a lot of room for things to compete.

Similar inside europe (https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/energy-prices).

I think a lot of household would accept a contract for 40 pounds per MWh for the whole year regardless of weather with guarantied capacity, and under liability in the case the contract is not fulfilled.
Why would Google want to do this? Current 2FA suits its role perfectly: it prevents a large scale leak, one that would result in bad PR. There is no incentive for Google to care for individual users.

It would help people to notice that if it wasn't literally branding itself as the way to establish that information is credible.
Zstd with training libraries should beat Brotli and Brotli will struggle with non-text data although I haven’t benchmarked

Your underlying point though remains valid that the incremental complexity of building that training data probably doesn’t warrant it because the place where that becomes valuable is quite rare particularly for typical SQLite databases. Still a neat trick thing though.
The context here is homeless or parking encampments. The standard for institutionalization is established in Donaldson, which requires that the state demonstrate that you’re either incapable of surviving on your own or are a danger to yourself or others (like you said).

“Danger,” in turn, has been narrowly interpreted by the courts to steer clear of obvious due process concerns: the state generally needs to show than danger is imminent and unavoidable, rather than merely plausible or even likely.

In other words: people living in RVs or tents do not prima facie meet either condition for forced institutionalization. People living on the street don’t even meet the conditions necessarily, since there’s no test for “quality of life.” And that’s the way it should be, unless you think that your civil liberties evaporate as soon as you cease to own property.
This attitude speaks to a rather severe amount of privilege that not all enjoy. If you “cause economic damage” that then raises prices, you hurt the poorest in rather large ways.
Ikea instructions are mostly fine. They could do with what lego does if there's similar parts though. A lot of ikea furniture has chiral parts and it almost never gets called out in the manual.
Yes it is. They even have a page about it: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

It's a format. You can serialise data to it. What about it isn't a serialisation format?

Obviously I wouldn't recommend it for small amounts of data, e.g. for RPC calls. But when you need to store lots of data it's much better than JSON or binary JSON style formats.
> trusted civic authorities

They'll need to be resistant to threats and bribes, so it will be difficult to have these on-site at the library.

I think we've overlooked an option. Note that the article's objection to FIDO keys was financial, not UX. This sort of confirms the hunch I got when first playing with them: "hey, the key metaphor is so strong and intuitive that these might be even better than passwords for people with low tech literacy." I held off on saying anything until their compatibility actually lived up to the hype, which IIRC only happened in 2020 (all major browsers, all major platforms, by default), but it did happen.

As for the financial barrier, yeah, it's wild that these are still $30/ea on Amazon. Can they be bought cheap in bulk? Or does the market need some aggressive new entrants? In any case, they are "near practical" and the shove needed to make them "very practical" is probably 100x smaller than, say, creating a Central Bureau of A12N.
That's a very simplistic view of one as an individual. Which IMO is very wrong and a big problem in today's West.

A human being is a continuous process both genetically and culturally. Your forefathers form who you are and you form people who will live long after you.
The government should, *especially* if they are requiring mandatory access (though this should be illegal anyway).

But this isn't going to solve the issue of Google being too far gone (too big) to be worth saving : just shut them down.
If you move your gaze quickly, yes. Just start erratically moving your eyes and it seems your brain can't keep up and everything will be a blur.

But also keep in mind that even when you're looking at a stationary object, your eyes tend to move a lot. If you noticed the blur from tiny movements too, you'd have a very hard time seeing anything. Reading would be quite difficult, for example.
Sort of.....

I went from on-metal K8s clusters, which were a complete PITA and required a full team to manage, to using EKS which has been everything K8s should be... easy peasy.
Not really. It is working well for us, but it wasn't as easy to begin with. Storage, Networking & Debugging are the biggest challenges.
Electric Car Cost per Mile
In this situation, maybe one thing that could help is if the library holds on to the backup codes for patrons. So they can sort of act as a quasi trusted authority. In fact if these people can't even log in without backup codes, they can just keep their password in their wallet.

Of course, yubikeys also work very well in this situation. So the library could sell a yubikey and keep backup codes on file for in case the yubikey is lost.

Or since you can store so many identities on an individual yubikey, just give the librarians one.
Conversely I recently worked with a five-person company using Kubernetes to great effect with nearly a hundred customers. Being able to just commit a new .yaml to stand up or tear down resources is a real force-multiplier.

I do entirely agree with you, I think: there are too many companies using Kubernetes prematurely, but...

It's kind of turned out okay? Because of this, the ecosystem seems to be improving and it's easier than ever for small shops to get started. And selling software that targets Kubernetes is leagues better than targeting Ubuntu or Red Hat or specific kernels.

You’re assuming these people are thinking logically and rationally. The governments and elected politicians don’t want to do anything that will hurt the farmers and associated communities. Not to mention the water allotment agreement is 100 years old and needs to be revisited.
