It's coming back, thanks to Lire's automagic local caching for offline reading of text and images, https://lireapp.com/

> unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds, does its magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links. Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds.

It's almost like UUCP-powered Usenet!
Maybe a conscious choice for the Ad - as the steep price could only be affordable by them?
I'm pretty sure that crypto isn't aware of, let alone care about, about value changes.
This is awesome and something I definitely would use for my docker and node based lambdas. Looking forward to this project adding more labmda backends!
Mine is around 6-7 years old. Started off as an Antergos on T450s, then moved to T480 and later on I replaced the extra repos and the startup logo with EndeavourOS after the Antergos ones went dark.

However, I can see a noticable slowdown and some services occasionally acting weird - once every few months i need to switch to a terminal and use loginctl to unlock my session. I am seriously considering a reinstall, no matter how humiliating that sounds.
Good point. I'm very wary of submitting anything security sensitive to an unfamiliar web site, especially one I don't have a business relationship with.

If you have a business relationship with them (i.e. give them money), they're less likely to do something bad with your data since it may cause you to stop giving them money.

That's why I won't use tools like an online PDF tool when I'm dealing with PDFs that contain sensitive information.
Google wants to make Linux kernel flaws harder to exploit
Yes, I believe this is unusual.
When I was first getting into Linux ~2006-2007 I distro hopped constantly until a friend told me about Arch and then there was no more reason to distro hop :)
This seems like a really interesting way to do a crash course in do-it-yourself AI—approach it top down and increase context as you go on.
Looks like this does the work on the server? I wonder if it could be done in WebAssembly to avoid the round trip and server load?
The stack could still be one of these; it’s just a reminder that betrayal will come and maybe not put all eggs in one basket type of things.
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is a good one to start with - https://martinfowler.com/books/eaa.html

It describes very well the underlying patterns and techniques that’s common across many backend software components. You’ll have to supplement that with your stack-specific stuff, and some newer material regarding scaling and operations/monitoring/alerting.
The line about "the process terminates with a message", suggests to me that source code for this algorithm does exist.

I think the algorithm is probably NP but it still could be useful for solving NP-hard problems.
I think that is a good thing. For "syncing across devices" to be a server-side feature of RSS, that would require that the server be keeping track of who I am and what I have read. The way the RSS protocol is, it is stateless and may be completely anonymous. Keeping track of the state is (and should be) the application's job.
> Pretty much every custom widget with custom drawing does this, so that excludes most non-trivial applications from using this method.

A large part of even non-trivial applications do not do custom drawing - and many do not do any custom drawing at all. In the cases where this is needed, you only need to fix the particular drawing code and nothing else.

> the porting effort to newer versions of GTK is also just a few lines of code, if even that

Even if that is the case, it still has all the other backwards compatibility issues i mentioned.

> Well, GNOME will probably not make this effort, as they dropped GTK1 around twenty years ago.

The effort i mentioned here was on designing backwards compatible APIs and libraries, not about supporting something specific to Gtk1. I do not expect GNOME / Gtk developers to support Gtk3 for long, let alone Gtk1.

> Again there is nothing to take into account here.

The "that" in "have to take that into account" was backwards compatibility, not DPI scaling.

Look, we're going in circles and i do not feel like having to explain things that i believe should be self-explanatory all the time. So there is no really any point continuing that discussion, it is not like i expect any Gtk developer to suddenly come across my posts and somehow get enlightened or something and Gtk stops breaking itself (and well, even if one does, they'd have a hard time convincing the other developers, so it is probably better for their psyche if they do not understand what i write :-P).
This could be a good year to see the Hunger Stones near Decin, as the lower graffiti on rocks is typically submerged.
That extraordinary claim would require extraordinary evidence

... which the JST may provide eventually.

But that wouldn't entirely suprise me as inflation, dark matter and dark energy, have always seemed to me to be a confession that we don't understand how space and time work. They can't really be proven wrong (until now) because they were tailored to fit observations and did a decent job, but it's very exciting if we finally find unexplained phenomena and we need to go back to the drawing board.

This article however, is of very poor scientific quality, and is mostly clickbait, so I would contain my excitement for now.
> What do you do when the employees who actually need to be engaged in the problem use WFH to slack off and not prepare for meetings?

The same thing you do with workers who use working from an office to slack off and not prepare for meetings?
For the most part, I think there is a lot of feature parity between the .NET and Ruby on Rails frameworks when it comes to developer tooling.

As I grow older I guess I am growing more fond of statically typed languages. It's easier for my decaying/distracted brain to reason about. There is less mental overhead I suppose [might be a good blog post?]

They both have a good database migration system and various generators for scaffolding views, controllers, etc. To be fair I believe Entity Framework does most of the work for the .NET side on the database developer tooling but I just consider it part of the .NET ecosystem since it seems to be the go-to ORM/database tooling library. I want to be fair to Rails -- I really think they set the bar very high for other frameworks. Productivity w/ Rails was unprecedented when it first came out. I started during the Rails 3 to 4 upgrade.

Both ecosystems have easy access to outside libraries using Nuget/Gemfile. So pulling in a background processor like Sidekiq [Ruby] or Hangfire [C#] is fairly easy.

Cross platform support is acceptable across both frameworks as well. I can setup an EC2 instance and run both Rails and .NET applications side-by-side. So deployments are going to be similar but I would argue that .NET has the upper-hand because it can deploy do a self-contained deploy so you don't have to worry about installing dotnet in the deployment environment.

I am using Blazor Server and I am not going to say something drastic like it will kill React but it is pretty awesome. I can build my entire web experience with C# but with Rails I have to introduce React when I sometimes dont want to. Blazor prevents me from having to write HTTP code from my front to backend systems and as an indie developer that is a godsend.

Both have gorgeous documentation -- I thought Rails was good and thorough but .NET ate their lunch.
Whether or not this is considered "grooming" is irrelevant. The truth is that only in the past 4-5 years has it started becoming commonplace for the medical establishment to provide "gender-affirming" care (aka irreversible via surgery or puberty blockers), if my child has the slightest suspicion that they, too, are one of the tiny percentage of intersex/trans people.

And if that were the case, and I refused to recognize one of my child's weekly fantasies (he likes to pretend to be a cat, but we don't take _that_ seriously), I would be considered a toxic and "transphobic" parent. That these medical procedures and gender "counseling" could provided to my child without my input or approval (in the name of "safe spaces") should be alarming to most parents.

We need to understand what's going on in our schools and with our children before we smear people with this "transphobia" neologism, because it's not productive nor conducive to discussion.

> There's only one side (leftists) and one party (Democrats) that are arguing for more immigration and open borders in the US

This is only true if you refer to extreme left/democrats and extreme right/republicans.

Moderate democrats (the ones usually in control) routinely set limits on immigration and refugee issues.

Moderate republicans, who were usually in control pre-trump, are very pro-immigration (it keeps labor market competitive).

Note that union-oriented folks often times are anti-immigration. Union folks at the national level are currently largely aligned with democrats, but their members have made a massive shift towards the Trump-flavor Republican Party.

To close, I don’t think that the political line is quite as clear as you seem to propose. The extreme left may want few/no immigration limits, and the extreme right may want extremely strict immigration limits, but the moderates from both sides want healthy immigration with limits, and the specifics of the limits are the main issue of contention.

Said another way, the moderates from both sides are closer in ideology to each other than to the extremist sections of their respective party/ideology.
I think of ML eng as more infrastructure and scalability. Possibly doing tasks like converting lab models into models that can be run at production scale. There is a blurry line between the two because it makes sense for some tasks to have shared ownership - just like you tend to have with people reaching across the stack to get something done in front-end vs. back-end web roles. As with anything, as you get more experience you get more comfortable jumping around and maintaining a larger set of concerns

I fully agree. Yet I was referring exclusively to the complains around the whole FOSS ecosystem.

My point is, even though Dodge could make money by selling Challenger/Charger for at the very least a few more years, they will not. Despite what we are taught, democracy and market forces are not how things really work. There was never a vote on this, or any of those regulations.

25 pounds for 6-10 reps, always stopping before any pain, is a good middle ground. Dont do curls with 2-5 pound weights. Find something that is actually a bit difficult, but most people shouldnt pile on weight or even continue to increase it unless their current weight feels like it isnt very difficult.
I would love a future where we are making everything nuclear, including synthetic fuel. However this is nowhere near reality. You need high temperature reactor to make this viable.
Show HN: Data pipelines for data scientists (new open-source notebook)
The Three Trends (according to the article):

1. Medium: text -> images -> video -> 3D graphics -> VR

2. AI: time -> rank -> recommend -> generate

3. UI: click -> scroll -> tap -> swipe -> autoplay

By this definition, the end of the line is a totally passive consumption of endorphin-inducing pablum that blots out the real world. (I may be exaggerating a touch.) It might stop short of a wire into the pleasure centers of the brain... but not by much.

Makes me wonder if there's a market for the equivalent of health food where we go back to social media and deliberately avoid "recommendation media" (which may be the most important two words in the entire post).
Most likely they struggled because the legal language in policies was ambiguous on how to handle the situation, therefore opening the room for the manager to pursue action against the company for consequences for their behavior.

It would have been dealt with sooner if the employee was white because (assuming they meant white as in western white skinned person) culturally there isn't an equivalent of caste that would make sense for a white person to act on, and they could have acted based on the other groups listed in the anti-discrimination language.

I think it's good they found a way to go forward with dealing with the manager and compensated the employees. In a visit to India a few years ago I saw a shopkeeper make someone leave the store because of caste, not sure if there are actual laws/regulations about this in place there to simplify the process of handling discrimination. The issue of discrimination is very easy to find anywhere, though, and most often presents in a subtle form of prejudice because many people feel a certain way toward others in another group. Anywhere there aren't enforced laws with legal language that protects a group there will be difficulty dealing with discriminatory practices against said group, because laws have to be specific in the way they are written to allow for their enforcement being simple/easy.
It isn’t necessarily the food itself, it’s just that the food marks somebody as lower class. For example, not knowing how to order sushi or use chopsticks. Maybe a better example is not knowing anything about wine. People will think you’re stupid or have bad taste. What would you think of a coworker bringing bologna and ketchup sandwiches to the office?
Sometimes this can happen through a "compassionate use" exception, but that's not typical. I certainly wouldn't count on it...
Or it could be some dude’s personal tool that’s easier to also make available to others. I do that a lot because remembering a custom domain is quicker than some CLI incantation.

For example: https://techletter.app – I use it to construct my newsletters. Markdown with a few customizations into HTML for WYSIWYG editors. It’s cheap enough to run that I don’t care if others use it. I think the AWS credits add up to $3/mo.

C# is such a cozy language, anyone familiar with C++ or Java can instantly bang out half-decent code, and there's a ton of great features to gradually learn and use. And the performance is about as good as it gets for a language with garbage collection. Big fan.
Hi, Thanks.

There any many people looking for Node support as it is the most common serverless runtime.

Could you please thumbs-up its feature request here: https://github.com/thundra-io/merloc/issues/1
My personal experience is to have a schedule. A vague outline of things I want to get done. I spend a little time on the internet in between jobs around the house or on the homestead. This allows me to take a break from having the entire world in front of my face and I get some sunlight to promote mitochondrial health. This has helped my sleep a great deal and keeps me physically active. After doing some heavy lifting and moving of things I come in, take a quick shower and then have a cup of lemon balm tea and see what the internet is up to.

Like you, I also do not use social media beyond HN.
I don't even know what this means, let alone if it is true or not.

How do you "force not to discriminate"? How is this currently enforced in companies?
Denver is on the other side of the continental divide.
From that page, it appears that older versions of Android Chrome don't support fetch at all.

I've seen stats that indicate that 5% of the U.S. population (to say nothing of other parts of the world) are still on Android Oreo (version 8), which wouldn't surprise me since older phones are basically locked in time.
It's basically a space race between companies to build a self driving car, except nobody knows what they're doing and they're willing to put as many lives on the line as necessary. We have Elon Musk and his bullshit to thank for this.
I believe that we are building a future which will attempt to be more efficient, at the cost of personalization. Back in ye olde days a tailor would make a coat for you, designed to fit you, at a wage that would be great for the tailor. It would take a few weeks to make. Now you can buy a coat that mostly fits you, on the spot, at a price that barely pays overseas factory workers. It's not the most ethical, but it was the way that things would end up without strong government guardrails and it has improved many peoples lives.

A lot of these things like AGI are going to be used to scale up cheaper experiences. Sometimes they'll misfire, but overall peoples lives will change, some jobs will no longer exist, and you'll have a different experience than before.

What is important to keep in mind is that this will probably not render the world a technological dystopia. It may make the world more frustrating in some ways, but better in others. For the things you do not like, I give you a quote from Robert Kennedy: "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events." For the fear of the world getting worse over time with technology, I would suggest reading The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Near the end there is a man who has been alive since the Medieval times. He shares his experiences with the world changing around him and it's a pretty positive approach to life.

The Coresite building you are talking about is 427 S. LaSalle and Coresite owns the whole thing. I worked for a company that was customer #1 on the first floor around 2007 or so when they were still renovating the building. We moved 4 racks from 600 South Federal Street which was owned by Digital Reality Trust. Coresite built out 427 over time and IIRC Google has the entire 5th or 6th floors or at least they did back when I left the company in 2015.
I think it is just the parent directory name plus the service name (at least that is what I've seen at work where we have many docker-compose files with common "app"/"db" service names).
We're already living in hell. Long ago I thought the future was bright and our job was to make sure we can bring it to everyone. I drank the kool-aid.

> A few months ago, I copied my complete installation to a ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 using rsync

How would something like this work? Is the target laptop running any random linux distro, and rsync replaces all system files etc. effectively "swapping" operating systems? Can the laptop boot into the new system as if it was installed normally?
I wonder is it really necessary to explicitly ban every sort of discrimination? Shouldn't it be simple 'discrimination is not allowed'? Otherwise we will be listing every type of discrimination and revisiting this list every now and then. And it leads to questions like 'is it acceptable to discriminate by boldness if it is not in the list?'

While I agree that such not-so-well-known discriminations should be publically discussed, I feel like 'banning' them one by one is the wrong direction to take.
Level 2 is the equivalent of Tesla's Autopilot. The driver is not always in control, but they must always be monitoring and be ready to immediately assume control.

Having to present physical, hard/expensive to reliably forge, government-issued ID at a reputable institution is a pretty good filter against most fraud. It's also a headache even if you live somewhere with a local branch of your bank.

I tried to do this during the pandemic and the local bank branch didn't have anyone who could give me the right authentication so I had to spend a couple hours going to my local brokerage office to complete a transaction.
An EV Miata would just be rebadged Toyota tech since Mazda does not have the money to produce the tech themselves.

Fun fact: The head of design of Tesla left Mazda after years of trying to get a serious EV initiative going. He complained that it was always going to be a side project over there so he gave up.
It never died. I have kept reading 200-odd RSS feeds for the past ten to fifteen years, and this myth about it being dead keeps coming up every year on HN.

The protocol works and would probably be best cast as "done", which is a concept very little modern technology seems to encompass...
> Most likely they struggled because the legal language in policies was ambiguous on how to handle the situation, therefore opening the room for the manager to pursue action against the company for consequences for their behavior.

How? Do you really think their language specified that discrimination could only happen from white people to minorities?
No, the Western world does a decent job preventing corruption from getting too bad. It's not perfect, but the difference is that if the DoD buys reactive armor for their tanks they get reactive armor, at maybe twice the price, and for more tanks than they think they need. When Russia buys reactive armor for their tanks, they get things that look like reactive armor but are just rubber in a metal shell.

It's not that the West has so much money that companies decide to deliver working products out of the goodness of their hearts, it's that only the less damaging forms of corruption survive here.

They could be talking about dumbbell weight, as 10lb is entry level but 50lbx10 requires some shoulder development.

Either way, I don't see the issue with doing 50 reps of something if you're failing at the end. The main issue is that it's boring and more mentally taxing than 6-10 reps I think.

There's a Huberman Lab podcast with some expert who also says the ideal rep range is anywhere from 6 reps to 30+ reps to make the point that we overly fixate on it. Lifting something until you can't is the operative goal.

I personally like drop sets for this purpose (decreasing weight until failure) because you end on a lighter weight that won't hurt you if something goes wrong, but you aren't stuck lifting one weight for too long.
It may be a future you don't want, but it doesn't mean it is your future. Tech is building what the masses want, even if it isn't healthy.
