Up front, I never saw the value FOR ME of social networking. It was always a bit of a perplexing thing, sharing what I'm looking at with the public. I don't even look at unusual things. It just seems like private information.

BUT, this seems like a perfect fediverse offering. Decentralized, self-hosted (or not) software that all talks to other instances to create a sharing ecosystem for people who want it. Based on what other fediverse projects are doing, you could likely even share certain tags only with a certain scope. If there's demand for it, it seems like this would be a no-brainer.
Truth is not very HN friendly, seems like lol.

You. Are. My. Hero.

This is one of those projects that's been itching away at the back of my mind, but always on the backburner. Having a starting point will be a great help getting things rolling.

How much did it cost you, all in? And how do you find a laser for cutting some of the more technical fabrics? (Specifically thinking of some of the ultralightweight fabrics the MYOG community loves to nerd out on.)
A huge issue in the middle east for democracy is that muslims, or the very very substantial percentage of them that are fundamentalist, want democracy if they aren't in power, and a super oppressive totalitarian state if they are in power. To the point that it isn't just about establishing islamic states and oppressing non-muslims, it's about establishing an islamic state of the Sunni or Shia variety and brutally oppressing the other islamic branch.

The Kurds are an exception, arguably should have their own state and would be the most sane partner in the middle east, but the US can't get its shit together to stand up to Turkey. Alas, we routinely screw over the Kurds as they get gassed by Saddam Hussein, ethnic cleansed by Turkey, abandoned to destruction by Russia when they were our best anti-ISIS ally.

Oil money and the wealth inequality that came with it certainly don't help things to engineer functioning democratic states, and then as stated elsewhere, neither does the CIA toppling democratic governments because multinational corps find them inconvenient.

America building "democracy" in Iraq was a telling process. All we cared about was oil and maintaining political control. We didn't care about making the lives of the everyday person better, which is the true fundamental path to a functioning democracy (it's why the USA's is gradually apart after all).

Yeah, that remake was better!
Nobody wrote the driver for H.264 HW encoder support, yet. When that happens, Pinephone will be capable of that, too.

That's not a $200 proposition, though. :)

And I guess there's no huge motivation, given the expected quality of the resulting image. Maybe someone will write it for some other similar AW SoC that uses the same HW block.

Such is the power of FOSS.
Imagine if the Seattle WTO protestors of 1999 could see who they'd be snuggled up in bed with today.
Exactly this. Aero was great not because of itself, but because it was basically Fisher-Price Windows 2000, where things were clearly things.

The Mac from around that time was similar, even if pinstriped.

This is clearly false. They break down their revenue every quarter, hardware revenue dwarfs services revenue. Even within their services revenue there is Apple Music, subscriptions and the reported 14 billion a year that Google pays Apple to be the default search engine.
I've watched enough terrible sci-fi movies on the Syfy channel to know that if we start using geothermal energy, we'll suck all the heat out of the core of the Earth, it'll stop moving, our magnetosphere will degrade, and we'll all die in a solar flare apocalypse.

No, but seriously, good luck to these guys. Someone's got to be the first to succeed at making geothermal power scalable/practical, let's hope it's them so we don't have to wait another century.
The resource curse is probably part of it. But another part is that the Ottoman Empire conquered all of these middle eastern societies at varying levels of development, and the european powers that inherited those colonies were faced with complex sectarian conflict that didn't exist in asia. With the separation of British India into Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, you've solved 90% of the sectarian conflict that exists in the region. In Lebanon, by contrast, history has left you with Christians, Shia, and Sunni all living in the same place, such that you have a constitutional structure where christians and muslims are each guaranteed half the seats in the legislature, and other roles such as president and prime minister are divided by religion.
Actually you're both right. The last 3 banks I've had have had the $500 limit because if your bank doesn't 'natively' support zelle, Zelle themselves limit it to $500 per week taken via your debit card. If your bank integrates zelle, then the limit seems to be up to the bank up to the $5000 or whatever you quoted.

This can be a major problem, because some landlords only take their rent by Zelle and if you accidently zelle someone at the wrong time and your whole household runs out of Zelle limits you're fucked for paying the rent.
>That's not how people typically use "proprietary" when referring to open-source code

Indeed, many people believe that source code being available somehow magically makes things non-proprietary. Not sure where that belief came from. An API is proprietary when it 1. Doesn't comply with existing standards, 2. Isn't interoperable, and 3. Is controlled by a single entity.

>multiple vendors

It comes from IBM/RedHat - a single commercial entity, not “thousands of independent contributors”. But yes, if it was a proper community project then it of course wouldn’t be proprietary.

>twice the throughput

Compared to NBD which can’t use RDMA at all. Again: the idea is old and not bad, it’s just that this particular implementation looks like another case of NIH.

Well, SQL queries are still written in code as text.

But I think you must be referring to the visualizers that many db tools have that, e.g., provide a grid view of a table or view, perhaps with QBE headers (or other means of filtering), etc?

Those kinds of things are nice. They make certain tasks easy to do or certain kinds of questions easy to answer. But they are all limited too -- each is a simplification of the overall problem space (which is why you still need SQL or if not that, some other equally complex query language variant, not to mention a more full-featured language on top of that to do the things SQL doesn't do).

For programming, IDEs are full of this stuff already. Code completion, all kinds of refactoring tools, symbolic searching/browsing. So I'm still not sure what the vision is... I can see that more sophisticated refactoring tools is part of it, but there seems to be a broader idea, but I can't tell what it is.

Programming is more complicated than it needs to be, but it and its tools cannot get simpler than the underlying problems they exist to solve. If we all were working on the same kinds of problems with a bounded, known set of variables, that could all use the same runtime, be hosted in the same kinds of environments, operate on the same kind of hardware, etc., then we could have simple, powerful tools for that (though probably in that case someone would simply solve the general problem, and there wouldn't be any more programmers needed, just sales people).
I know nothing about Delphi, but I guarantee that I could take any UI you designed in a day in Delphi and get something equivalent on the web in the same amount of time. Sticking a bunch of inputs on a page (even with some nesting) isn't complex at all.

I think you are doing your customers a great disservice by not learning about web development.
Yes, in fact, there have been scientists investigating the most efficacious algorithms for self-selection of hearing aid amplification since the mid '80s that continues up to today. The modern versions of it are self-adjustment tools like EarMachine ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmachine/id732177210 ) which is the tool I used in my research, or what's called "trainable hearing aids" which have algorithms that observe how you adjust the hearing aid in day-to-day life in different acoustic environments and then try to predict and apply your preferred settings based on the acoustic environment ( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2016.1... ). These different types of technologies can be (and often are) used together.
I think you make an interesting point about micro payments.
Micro payments could be an avenue for crypto to actually achieve some legitimacy and usefulness.

Not only is the irreversibility less important, but potentially some of the usability/security issues for users (hacked/stolen wallets etc...) become less important as well (assuming users keep only smallish balances in crypto wallets).

Something is rotten in the state of QED (2020)
“As one of the inventors of QED, I remember that we thought of QED in 1949 as a temporary and jerry-built structure, with mathematical inconsistencies and renormalized infinities swept under the rug. We did not expect it to last more than 10 years before some more solidly built theory would replace it. Now, 57 years have gone by and that ramshackle structure still stands” - Freeman Dyson

What's wrong with that? All sorts of things discriminate against certain buyers. Primarily the location, the signage, the prices, the languages the staff speak, etc. And, in fact, not everyone is comfortable using cash, so even cash-only locations discriminate against people who don't want to carry cash, or people who don't believe in cash and want to do business through bartering.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta did a study showing 97% of consumers had some kind of payment card(debit, credit, prepaid), and 99% of consumers used cash. So there is probably still some consumer that is not being satisfied by either payment cards or cash. If I was running a business, I don't think I would particularly care about that small of a slice of users to base my decision on it - it would probably come down to other things like overall cost of supporting cards or cash.

I had the same curiosity about offering a blank keyboard because I've been using one for 8 years or so after it was recommended by a former co-worker who I have huge respect for. So I'll give it a shot to explain the difference after I got adjusted to it:

I did not realize that my brain was still wired to look at the keyboard periodically, specifically when dealing with special characters and really anything outside of typical alphanumeric. I only realized after the adjustment that each time I had to find one of these keys it was a minor interruption to my current thoughts. The best way to describe it is imagine a piano with every single key labeled as to what the note is. It would be difficult to teach people to think about the creativity and harmony and melody aspect of music and to directly translate what they hear in their head into muscle memory to reproduce it. With the keys labeled it would be like training wheels and difficult to get people off of this because the translation would constantly be:

- I hear a "G" in my head

- I see a "G" on the piano

- I play the "G" on the piano

Instead really what you want the brain to do is say:

- Here's what I play to get the sound in my head

With no in between. Or similar to learning a new language and having to internally translate things to your native language before you can understand (or the reverse for speaking). Instead you just want to immediately know what this language is saying with no native translation.

TL,DR: Once you really internalize that looking at the keyboard makes 0 difference, it's one less minor thing for your brain to think about and your flow isn't interrupted as frequent by internal thoughts. Using a blank keyboard is just a (admittedly somewhat extreme) way to force yourself into this.
> It is the biggest scam ever, I give them money and they charge me obscene amounts of interest to spend my own money

Are you not paying off your card every month?

I spent about $3,000/month on my credit card and pay $0 for the privilege. In fact, I earn money from it because my credit card company gives me 1-3% back depending on what I'm buying.

If they're charging you "obscene amounts", then you're either living beyond your means or have a really shitty credit card provider. Any decent provider gives a 30 day grace period on purchases before they start accruing interest, so if you're paying off the card every month (Really, I pay mine off twice a month each time I get my paycheck), you'll pay zero interest.
> writing code takes double the time when you also have to write the tests

this time is more than made up for by the usual subsequent loss of debugging, refactoring and maintenance time, in my experience, at least for anything actively being used and updated
Bring in somebody with the skills.
Disclaimer: I was in the Pine64 IRC channels at the time, so have some limited visibility, but not all visibility.

The comments section is rife with suggestions to make it play Popcorn by Hot Butter... and I fully support that idea.
I write tests in order to have something to run and hit breakpoints on while I develop code. Is that TDD? The tests don't even necessarily check anything at the earliest stages, obviously they are red if the code barfs but that's about it. Once the code solidifies I may take some output and persist it to make sure it doesn't change, but "does not crash" is technically a testable endpoint!

Show HN: I wrote a children's book in 1 day using DALL-E 2
Like others, I am blown away by DALL-E's ability to accelerate the creative process. With just a single day of concentration and fiddling with the prompt tool, I was able to fully illustrate a book of knock-knock jokes.

After one more day of fiddling with trims and bleeds, I had it published on Amazaon: https://www.amazon.com/Dorky-Dads-Knock-Book-Vegetables/dp/B...

The prompting of DALL-E, like any tool, took a bit of learning. My take-aways using it were:
- The four variations initially generated are rarely enough. The variations can be quite diverse, and a better rendering can often be found just by generating again. After three times (12 variations), the returns get diminishing and it's usually better to either tweak the prompt phrasing, or drill down into the best so-far to get variations of it.
- The ability to select and replace a section allows for a great deal of control. Usually the scene will end up more smoothly connected and related if you try to specify everything in the original prompt. However, where this is not understood properly by DAL-E, selecting an area and then using a new prompt in that sub-region works well.
- DAL-E on occasion renders objects that you don't specify, ruining an illustration that would otherwise be perfect. There's unfortunately no "erase" option, but if you specify "empty" on the prompt it works to clear the object most of the time.

The capabilities are already amazing; it'll be even quicker in helping creativity with a few more tools on top of it, like being able to move objects into position. At any rate, much thanks to the OpenAI team for what I've already been able to do!

The quotes drive home why it is "controversial"; because generation and transmission companies see it as a potential way to improve revenue, not as a way to improve the grid.

I will assent to these powerful features when there is a strong legal guarantee that it will be used to improve the world, not to juice up someone's q2 numbers by charging me more.

Remember that these are the same companies that by and large lobby against being able to sell solar power back to the grid.

I don't think that is especially accurate. India has a lot of ethno-linguistic diversity, but has hundreds of years of centralized administrative rule even before the British: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire. That's longer than Germany or Italy have had centralized governance.
Is it weird to go back to school for my masters in Europe later in life?
In much of Europe, people usually get their masters in their early 20s because it’s more financially viable and accessible than somewhere like the US. Life panned out differently for me (had to get out of poverty first), and I’d like to go back to school for either another bachelors or my masters in my mid-30s since I have the opportunity now to be able to focus on school for a couple of years without the burden of a full time job. Would that be acceptable in Europe? Is there any sort of age discrimination when applying to schools at this age?
OK, so in "3nm", what is the minimum gate length? And, how many silicon atoms is that?
In the US, Online purchases with a debit card generally do not use the lower fee debit card networks, but instead use the credit card networks. Basically every debit card in the US is co-branded by one of the credit card companies, and can be processed by merchants as if it were a credit card.

The lower fee debit card networks operated by the interbank networks that run the ATM system (Pulse, NYCE, STAR, etc) do not seem to be available for online purchases.

So while you absolutely can pay with them online from the merchant's perspective it is a credit card, and only the issuing bank is treating them differently.

While Visa et al do know this is a debit card, and could could offer lower interchange fees, I'm not sure if they do, and they certainly don't lower it to the same level as the debit networks.

This may very well be different outside the US, as they may not be fully seperate networks in every country.

Agile, as the name hints, was developed precisely to deal with ever changing requirements. In opposition to various versions of "first define the problem precisely, then implement that in code, and then you're done forever".

So the TDD OP describes here is not an Agile TDD.

The normal TDD process is:

1. add one test
2. make it (and all others) pass
3. maybe refactor so code is sane
4. back to 1, unless you're done.

When requirements change, you go to 1 and start adding or changing tests, iterate until you're done.
This has existed in Canada for a very long time via Interac e-Transfers and it doesn't cost anything. You can send money instantly from one bank to any other bank. You do this by sending to someone's email or phone number. The recipient can setup auto-deposit so the money is deposited instantly. For this reason, Venmo, Cash App, etc. makes no sense in Canada either.
Some common foods (e.g. kidney beans) must be properly cooked for them to be not poisonous.
