skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A couple of things:

1. demand more. If a headline can't prove to you that it is relevant, it isn't. This essentially cuts out all click-baits, but that is just the start of it. If Twitter and/or Facebook doesn't _consistently_ provide value to you, they are out. I have a couple of people who insist on organizing things on Facebook, but I just check my notifications (on the site), I don't look at the feed because it does not provide enough value.

Reddit is my big issue. I spent way too much time on r/news, r/ukraine etc so I have decided just not to visit reddit until september, then I will have to reevaluate it.

2. Intentionallity. Many sites can be very valuable or a complete waste of time. I have spent a lot of time on YouTube, but I have also gotten a lot of value out of it. I have also watched a lot of videos that were not very valuable.

I definitely still struggle with intentionallity, but the idea is that you spend your time on something you want, not what diverse algorithms want you spend the time on.

In general: your eyeballs are very important and I think it is fair that you demand a high price for your attention. That doesn't mean that you have to be productive at all times, being paid in fun is fine, being paid in aweinspiringness or whatever else you value is fine too.

But demand a high price for your attention.

The key is to note on how you feel afterwards: if you feel queizy and slightly-to full on regretfull, then you should change going forward. If you feel happy then, fine, you just spent a lot of time on something you enjoyed - there is no problem with that.
Here's a link to the paper which this article is about:

Using plasmas is interesting for ISRU because they may work at Mars ambient atmospheric conditions. I'm quite surprised that this plasma reactor approach is more energy efficient than the solid electrolysis technique used by the MOXIE experiment.

unless they lined up deals with every major credit card company then the market could get segmented up. Which point it's not really a value for the credit card company. so I still see some kind of competition.

I love Thermapens! I've been looking for an equally well built kitchen scale. Have any recommendations?
Not sure it matters, but my go-to is Python/Django/nginx/Ubuntu Server (VMs). I like open things with a track record (no chancing the latest shiny thing) that have proven to work for small-to-mid scale and I can count on in terms of securing talent. None of that "3 years of experience" for a framework that is 1 year old.

I also have no issues depending on corporate things that I don't like, for example GitHub, as long as they can be replaced with minimal loss. I'd git remote set-url origin <something else> and be done with it.
Because it is wrong. She isn't heading German climate affairs.
Meanwhile in my major european city, I'd say bikes have a 70% share among delivery drivers. (Although some of those bikes may have cost more than the cars the other 30% are driving, which is a bit of a "uber tesla driver" situation).
Needing to lift all the materials into space from Earth seems energy intensive. On the other hand, maybe we'll have fusion-based rockets in the future where the energy cost to escape Earth's gravity well isn't as important. You'll still have potentially two planets worth of needs to support. I know that the various space companies are looking at asteroid capture. I wonder if it makes sense to just smash some of those into Mars before it's inhabited. Yes it potentially destroys scientific data but that risk can be managed vs the benefit of having easily-accessible building materials on Mars to build large-scale industrial equipment / housing if we get serious about colonizing Mars.
"Please take a moment to subscribe" and "smash that bell icon" are the video version of "Subscribe to my crappy newsletter" popups. And before that, in the world of print magazines, it was multiple subscription cards that fell into your lap -- even if you were already a subscriber. The reason is an unsatisfying one: They work, and it's difficult to measure penalty metrics that show they're causing more harm than good.

I would think a human face would be the most effective thumbnail, and that there are psychological reasons for this. When I worked in print magazines, there were metrics thrown around a lot for how well cover subjects did in terms of newsstand copies sold: Animals > inanimate objects; Humans > animals; color > b&w; photos > illustrations; eye contact with the camera > looking away; females > males.

Apps are also getting into the fun, and tons are now including screaming faces[1] as their icon, no matter how related to the gameplay. Can't wait for a productivity app trying to pull off this icon...

Neither Mozart nor Bach were poor. Quite a lot of these were basically middle class - respectable good paid job, but you are not Elon Muck rich.

And some of them earned less then they could due to own habit of alienate people (Beethoven).
I’m curious, why not Java? I’m sure Java and JVM languages like Kotlin are quite popular in the industry.
> Because investment in the arts (I mean serious investment. Not like USA) has worked pretty well for some countries.

I think that's just misunderstanding cause and effect. It's more that nations "invest" more in art as they get wealthier. It's not that they pay a bunch of people to do whatever they want and tada, the country becomes industrialized.
yes you're right. The JS library is a thin wrapper around PostgREST's API (https://github.com/supabase/postgrest-js)

Supabase now offers a few more features which integrate with the Postgres database - File Storage (s3), Authentication, Deno Functions, and Realtime (database change listeners). Each of these services is a standalone server and each has a corresponding JS library.

"supabase-js" wraps up the modular JS libraries into a single library for convenience
I am really strongly against this. I do not like this kind of behavior. You only barely scrap the surface.

I guess the business model for DoorDash is to 'lock' customers (both receiving and sending side) into their systems. Once ingrained to a point where it is painful to extricate, prices creep up till it is profitable?

Sort of like cable TV, satellite radio, Youtube, et al. I remember all were initially introduces as 'no commercials, that is what the monthly fee is for', or 'you will not see commercials in our videos'. Today, none of these media can be watched without advertisements.

Step one, present something slightly more convenient, or less costly than status quo.

Step two, wait till every frog is comfortably swimming in the pot and abandons original something.

Step three, put lid on pot, but keep telling frogs that it is for an improvement. Maybe even get Gov to declare original something was dangerous, think of the children!

Step four, turn up heat and start charging big bucks.
Claiming that the solution is simple is the problem. Signal actually has been trying to add usernames for years. It involves an account, contacts book, trusting Signal, trusting Intel, SGX remote attestation, Raft, and passpins. They are getting reamed for it because it's not really possible to treat a 4 digit pin as a strong password but they're trying to do it anyway. It inverts the whole value prop of Signal on its head. That's my point here. The reason I'm saying use something else is because it's not simple like you claim. And it changes Signal's model enough that people are leaving Signal because it's not what they signed up for.

Put simply, telling Signal to add usernames is like telling the existing users to "use something else" because that's what Signal must turn itself into to satisfy the "I need usernames right now" crowd.

Would you like to try cleartext SFTP, to compare performance? This can be done with inetd/socket activation.

server# cat /etc/systemd/system/ctsftp.socket
[Unit]
Description=cleartext sftp

[Socket]
ListenStream=7777
Accept=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

server# cat /etc/systemd/system/ctsftp@.service
[Unit]
Description=cleartext sftp

[Service]
ExecStart=-/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
StandardInput=socket
User=nobody
Group=nobody

server# systemctl start ctsftp.socket

Then, on the client, set up a netcat.

client$ cat ncssh
#!/bin/sh

exec nc fileserver.myco.com 7777

client$ chmod 755 ncssh

Feel free to move around the cabin.

client$ sftp -S ./ncssh bogus
Connected to bogus.
sftp> put ncssh
Uploading ncssh to /ncssh
remote open("/ncssh"): Permission denied
sftp> cd tmp
sftp> put ncssh
Uploading ncssh to /tmp/ncssh
ncssh 100% 56 128.6KB/s 00:00
sftp> quit

I've also jacked this into stunnel. I haven't really benchmarked it, though.

You could probably chroot() this, if there was a desire to use it for something important.

For those who truly miss anonymous FTP, it was hiding inside of SSH the whole time. Shoehorning it back into the browsers is left as an exercise for the reader.
Been reposted here a million times too, and not even the original source.

But HN loves to talk about how terrible DoorDash is so this gets upvotes (and I agree, I hate the delivery apps personally)
> For development, engineers want to run a local throwaway mysql/redis. In production, engineer want to use a proper managed mysql/redis.

Bad idea. You develop against a completely different local system, then you push to prod, and "oh no it doesn't work". Yeah - because you're developing against a completely different system! It behaves differently. It causes different bugs. You take a ton of time setting up both different systems differently, duplicating your effort, duplicating your bugs, having to fix things twice for no reason, and causing production issues when expectations from local dev don't match prod reality.

Every experienced systems engineer has been repeating this for decades. Listen to them. They all say exactly. the. same. thing. "Make all your systems as identical as possible." That doesn't mean make all your systems different whenever it is more convenient for you. It means that if it's possible for you to be developing using the same tech you use in prod, you should be doing that, unless it is impossible. If you think it's not possible or practical, you simply haven't thought hard enough about it.

The whole selling point of the cloud is that you can spin up environments and spin them down in minutes and pay pennies for it. Not a shared environment where everyone's work is constantly conflicting, but dedicated, ephemeral environments that actually match production. Literally the only example I know of where this doesn't work is with physical devices where you have a lab of 10 experimental pieces of test gear and you have to reserve them to test code on them. That can make remote development difficult. Still not impossible though.

> The cpu/memory requirements will be different.

Unless you're developing using the same servers as prod. There is no reason that you have to use your laptop. If you think "it's more convenient!", that's only because you have done zero effort to make Prod-like ephemeral environments more convenient.

> For development, engineers will build and run the docker image locally. In production, these are separate, you would build and publish the image separately in CI, and run only published images in prod. Again, makes sense.

That is the antithesis of what Docker was created for. The point of containers was to say "it works on my machine", and use that exact same image in production. Not a different image in CI that nobody developed their code against. It's just going to result in bugs that the developer didn't see locally, so they will need to spend more time to get it working. Your laptop can do the same build CI can on the same branch and push the same image that CI can.

What I'm saying is nothing new. Look into cloud-based development environments and the dozen different solutions made solely for rendering your local code in a remote K8s pod as soon as you write to a local file. Imagine a world where you don't waste your time testing something twice and fixing bugs twice.
(2020), please. It is at least third time I'm seeing this story on HN top page.
Absolutely. I was at a kids' birthday party. The pizza arrived 90 minutes after it was supposed to. It took 2+ hours to deliver it. The pizzeria claimed they had nothing to do with it. It was all UberEats. What a bogus product. They have no control over their drivers.
Wasn’t the whole point of this "space" to offer delivery for restaurants that didn’t have it? Outside of pizzas, I’m struggling to find another kind of restaurant that offered home delivery before UberEats/etc.
There is a next gen missile that should be fully deployed by around 2030.

I think some of the best advice you can give folks who are looking to pursue arts as a full time career is 'don't do it'.

It's incredibly difficult, and not at all like arts as a hobby. I think it is terrible advice blindly telling folks to pursue arts because it makes it seem reasonably achievable, and sets people up to waste far too much of their time becoming miserable with real consequences for themselves and those around them.

If someone is discouraged by the "don't do it" advice that easily, then they were likely not going to be making it their full time employment.

And the folks who have the drive and determination to see their goals to the end that aren't going to be dissuaded by some random person on the internet or at a conference telling them they are going to fail.

Robin Williams had advice like that all the time, and along the same lines I really thing Cal Newport's 'So Good They Can't Ignore You' is incredibly beneficial to anyone at the beginning of a career path.
The leaked United / Apple data[1] from 2019 was an interesting data point for this demand.

At the time, Apple was booking 50 business-class seats a day just between San Francisco and Shanghai.

That's one company, on one route. Representing one segment of demand.

Certainly, things are likely to change with the effects of Covid, but I think there's a lot of substance to your perspective.

I dearly miss the years where my rides, food, bike rentals, etc. were all funded by VC money.
Yeah but the "classic rock" phase came at a particularly unique time in history when hegemonic record labels and focused their efforts to popularize a very small cohort of artists. And cheap broadcast technology and syndicates made uniform radio the cheapest form of entertainment in human history. I can't say it enough. Mid 20th century America and Western Europe are one of the mlst unique media landscapes in human history.

Monopolistic mass media which reaches hundreds of millions of people is weird. Like most of the mid 20th century we should be cautious about using it as typical of anything.
Check this [1]. I don't how accurate it is though

Yeah, the TikTok algorithm has hit some sweet spot that's able to organically direct people to niche interests and one of those is music discovery for different music genres. Okay so let's just assume you really like neo-classical, here's what you might have discovered on TikTok:

Woodsman, Zir Bujou, Austin Farewell's new single, Duomo, Amity Fall, Joep Beving, Fabrizio Paterlini's new album, Airginio Aiello's new single.
Isn't there plenty of oxygen which could be much more simply burned out of mars rocks? Place is covered with fine dust that's almost entirely metal oxides. I'm thinking concentrated solar to liberate the oxygen and produce a nice metal building material that could be refined to base metals for all sorts of things.
Also Pizza companies doing their own delivery may be happy with the delivery fee being less than their cost of delivery if it gets them more orders than they would otherwise as long as the order is profitable. e.g. $10 pizza with $2 delivery and $8 cost of production and $3 cost of delivery in range. Each hand picked up pizza makes $2 profit, each pizza delivered makes $1, but if the amount of net new orders from doing delivery is >2x the amount of people that switch from pickup to delivery then the business profits.

In the app case, the business may still benefit (except now the apps have pressure to try extract discounts from the business), but that -$1 for delivery is either being subsidised by VC funding which won't last, or by paying the delivery staff less than their real costs.
I was simply answering the question made by my post's parent.

As for the rest, touchpads have been getting better. Both in hardware and drivers. The latter is true in Linux land, at least. I don't use Windows, so I wouldn't know.

Unless it's under full load, and you've got a GPU mux switch, I don't think your fans will sound as a jet engine either. But either way, at that price, yeah... It'll be bulkier than a Mac. Aaand your fans will spin. Aaand your battery life will be worse, 'cause CISC lol. Still miles better than carrying a desktop though.

I'm happy for Apple, in all honesty. RISC is the future.
I just hope that bigger and better open firmware projects keep coming, so I can keep tinkering (and having no x86 license to deal with, it does seem that future is bright).
Unfortunately, x86 just has better support right now.
Agreed.
I was specifically told there is no obligation to spend the money. The money just needs to be in the bank.

There are also many other visas available, a two year student visa is probably one of the easiest to acquire, but it does require attending a certified school and the visa is invalidated should you stop attending school.
Thanks. BTW, I found there's a much cheaper ($80 -> $27) paperback version published a few days ago.
Would this be fraud?

IANAL, but I am going to go against the prevailing trend and suggest that it might actually be fraud. In ordering the pizzas from Doordash, he misrepresented himself to Doordash as a genuine customer (for financial gain).

As far as not actually delivering complete pizzas, that may not be fraud as he did not misrepresent the product to . . . himself. However, I could also see an argument for it being fraud as Doordash bought pizzas from him, and he did not deliver pizzas (regardless of the fact that Doordash then sold the "pizzas" back to him for less).
I had code that was in Debian. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chemfp . Someone else added it, so I guess they thought it was useful. I know someone who used it too.

You can see it's version 1.1p1, which was a very old version. Here's 1.6 on PyPI - https://pypi.org/project/chemfp/ .

When new releases came out - free software under the MIT license, available at no cost - I sent an email to the maintainers to let them know.

I never got a response. It was never updated.

Is my code useful? I think it's useful .. for the small niche I'm in. People do pay me for it.

And there are a lot of niche packages.

FWIW, I later switched to a commercial free software business model, where customers paid me for access to the source under the MIT license. More specifically, "we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can ... you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money." https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html

I realize that I could maintain Debian packages myself. But while it's "not particularly difficult", it's still more than I want to do. FWIW, based on my download logs for July-to-date, I should start with Ubuntu:

2 Amazon Linux
2 CentOS Linux
3 Pop!_OS
5 Linux Mint
6 Raspbian GNU/Linux
12 Gentoo
19 Debian GNU/Linux
114 Ubuntu

By comparison, it's even simpler to support all of these system via a pip-installable package.
I must say not researching how bhyve and openbsd vmm work seems like fairly major omission, especially as both are significantly newer projects than kvm and presumably would have learned from it.
Incredibly US-centric comment and responses.

If you think delivery is unsustainable because cars cost money, I got news for you: You live in a bubble, and it's the cars that are unsustainable.

Outside of the car-centric world of US suburbia, most of the western world is actually doing deliveries on scooters and ebikes, which are very quick to navigate medium-to-high-density cities and can do several deliveries per trip.

I've ordered a lot on Takeaway, at least once a week on average. The last time I saw somebody pull up in a car was during the COVID lockdowns, and I suspect it's because there was basically nobody on the streets.

The business model is broken, because car-centrism is broken. In the civilized world, things are ok.

Either way, fuck Uber. There's better alternatives.
Nevermind, I answered my own question =) I found an Encurtido recipe made with red onions and I think I'll try it:

I don’t buy that at all. There is a world of difference between poor performance due to low prioritization and lying about it.
Social media, the environment, education, the realization that adults have no idea what they're doing, everything being increasingly expensive, lack of social cohesion, political instability and extremism. I'd almost be worried if teenagers weren't sad and anxious. (I'm not saying it's good, but rather a normal response to just how shit it is out there.)
The A220s were Bombardier.

Them selling out to Airbus had more to do with general issues at the parent conglomerate (they also exited trains and snowmobiles to raise cash). But they still make corporate jets.
I think Autotune just happened to popup at the same time the real "issue" pops up. In the 70s,80s, even 90s you had finite music. There's only so much time on a radio station, only so much space in the store. Small labels existed but how did you hear about them? With streaming I can now access so much more.

It's easier for someone to be say, a fan of folk punk while located somewhere without a scene. Why does that person care about background music in a random place? Why should they?
You're right. It sucks.

I think I might have stumbled on the impossible miracle passive income technique you're referring to, though. I'm trying to get some traction, but it's hard because of virality filters. Please could you take a look at this and see if it matches your experience?
