The idea that municipal governance should intentionally disadvantage "transients, students, travelers, and so on" is appalling to me. This directly feeds into wealth inequality and the cycle of poverty. I get that people will want to protect their privilege, but I have no respect for it.

Long haul trains are one of the few scenarios in which I think nuclear powered transit makes sense. They have high mass, are insensitive to additional weight (e.g. reactor shielding) and frequently travel long distances with stopping. Plus, there are relatively few of them and they follow known tracks with low risk of collision.
Anyone else getting occasional 2FA SMSs from PayPal that they didn’t request?

Like, I get it, somebody probably has my email address, but I never really got these before.

And I doubt it’s somebody’s typo.

Would think a company as big as PayPal would be able to cut off the source once the source requests more than 3 different logins by SMS.

Getting that confirmation that I can not only code games people like, but design fun experiences as well, is a massive confidence boost.

Looks good! Two questions:

Will you make an Ortholinear version, and

Is it hotswappable?

Looking forward to getting one.
Go ask a software developer what that question means to them and you'll get the same answer. Ever heard about that thing called "context"? ;) You may very well argue that stable is where horses are living.

In context of software releases, "stable" has a clear meaning - and Debian releases are software releases.

Converting an positive integer less than 3000 is well-defined task.
Now if you try to write such a program using TDD what do you think will end up with?

Try it. Write a test for 1, and an implementation which passes that test then for 2, and so on.

Bellow is something written without any TDD (in Java)

private static String convert(int digit, String one, String half, String ten) {
switch(digit) {
case 0: return "";
case 1: return one;
case 2: return one + one;
case 3: return one + one + one;
case 4: return one + half;
case 5: return half;
case 6: return half + one;
case 7: return half + one + one;
case 8: return half + one + one + one;
case 9: return one + ten;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Digit out of range 0-9: " + digit);
}
}

public static String convert(int n) {
if (n > 3000) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Number out of range 0-3000: " + n);
}

return convert(n / 1000, "M", "", "") +
convert((n / 100) % 10, "C", "D", "M") +
convert((n / 10) % 10, "X", "L", "C") +
convert(n % 10, "I", "V", "X");
}
I don't know, $2 million invested at 5% return would equate to a post-tax income of about $75,000 or so per year which meets the threshold level of being able to own your own home (in a region with relatively depressed property values perhaps) and engage in whatever (relatively low-cost) activities you wanted to for the indefinite future, be it gardening or programming or art or whatever.

Of course, that's all predicated on a stable civilizational standard which is not at all guaranteed these days, due to issues like climatic instability, social strife, etc.

I'm curious - if the link in the email leads to paypal.com with what looks like an invoice, why doesn't the invoice appear on the target's email account?

Or is the invoice fake somehow?

I'm not fully convinced this is true when the problem is burnout.

Your #2 makes much more sense to me than your #1 or the GP’s comment. Suppose my data or variable is a floating-point number. How does it help me to have my editor listing the thousands of functions that can operate on a float?

I agree with sgt101 though. You're right about (1); I don't dream of $2M in the bank, but not having to work for a living, and have all the time in the world to pursue my actual interests.

But (2) I disagree with. I don't have $2M but I probably have enough to retire in a shit country and live frugally (before you judge me: I was born and raised in a shit country, but managed to get to a better place, literally and figuratively). I'd have all the time in the world to pursue my actual interests; but at the cost of living in a shit country, having to worry about my physical safety or other similar concerns.

With $2M though (or more realistically, with $5M, but the point stands) I could achieve (1) in the awesome country where I live now. So yes, in my case, $5M in the bank would absolutely solve the problem.

It's definitely useful, but those strongly opposed often won't use it at all unless it mandated which tends to lead to strict adherence policies at a lot of companies.
Demystifying Dependence, Part 2: The Three Dimensions of Dependence
For contacts the FTC contacts rule requires certain prescription verification rules.

I'm not aware of anything on the federal level that requires a patient have a valid prescription for eyeglasses. (I've looked, but I've not found any such requirement.)

The restrictions appear to be on the state level. Some states prohibit dispensing prescription glasses without a prescription. Other states appear to only regulate what a prescription must contain, and how long it lasts, with no apparent laws around dispensing. (For example South Dakota explicitly does not regulate opticians, so unless there is some federal law I have missed, they can produce and dispense any type of glasses to anyone who asks, but cannot do so for contacts due to the FTC contacts rules.)

who is the judge of 'low quality' or 'unoriginal content'

this quote lifted from the article seems to point toward an answer:

“If you search for information about a new movie, you might have previously encountered articles that aggregated reviews from other sites without adding perspectives beyond what’s available elsewhere on the web,” the company explained in a blog post. “This isn’t very helpful if you’re expecting to read something new. With this update, you’ll see more results with unique information, so you’re more likely to read something you haven’t seen before.”

---this catches my eyes [ so you’re more likely to read something you haven’t seen before.”]

so if i want to find something i saw, or that is popular across sites, then google will emphasize things ive not read already.

that means to me between the lines, save bookmarks somewhere, save pages or links if you think you need it later, google will try to demote it, or anything of similar verbiage if you clicked through into it
Show HN: Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale
Hi, I just saw this tweet[^1] by @QuinnyPig that mentions accessing your Pi-hole while traveling thanks to TailScale and wondered how to deploy Pi-hole at the edge, instead of a home lab, for improved latency.

My simple solution involves running it on Fly.io to make it easy to relocate anywhere, and embedding tailscale into the same firecracker VM (né docker container) to keep the infra dead simple and cheap.

Naively deploying a publicly accessible DNS resolver is not ideal[^2] so the main constraint was to secure the VM by 1) keeping all public ports closed and 2) having Pi-hole listen only on the private network interface created by TailScale.

It's all very straightforward but it's noticeably improved my bandwidth usage and page loading times across my laptop and mobile phone, so I figured I'd share. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome!

Re:spoilage Even if there's nothing specific to pork, the size of the animal may present that challenge. it's harder to time the slaughter and butchery if a larger animal. If you've been raising an animal for a year, you're going to want to eat all the meat. So you need to save it for celebrations, or barter, or eat meat that's been sitting around. Pigs are pretty big, assuming all domesticated animals have increased in size roughly equally.

But the kosher prohibition isn't "don't eat meat slaughtered a week ago", which would be easy, it's about cloven hooves.

The other hypothesis I've seen put out there is that viruses tend to have an easy time jumping from (living) pigs to humans. We think of the flu as relatively minor now but without clean water it would be a big deal.

Maybe music streaming isn't a technical problem so much though?

Anecdote: I've been a paying Spotify premium subscriber for the past 10 years. I finally switched to Apple Music recently. Why? My favorite song, from my favorite artist (well known, national U.S. artist) is inexplicably unavailable on Spotify - but available on Apple Music.

So maybe Apple is light years behind technically because they see it as a partnerships game as opposed to a technical game.
I found logs. For context, tl_lim is the founder of Pine64.

2022-06-01, the Pine64 dev IRC chat:

> [T] <tl_lim> I pause on move forward due to no one commit to maintain. If MayueIC interest to maintain, lets move forward and include Tow-Boot into the PBP factory build. @MayeulIC, you can send an email to info@pine64.org, we will ship a free Pinebook Pro to you so that you can maintain the Tow-Boot.

> [T] <tl_lim> On the integration, just follow the recent PinePhone Pro way that flash OS build to eMMC then flash Tow-Boot to SPI Flash.

> [T] <tl_lim> Frankly speaking, I am happy on developer commit maintaining Tow-Boot on Pinebook Pro. Thanks and a big shout out to @MayeulIC.

2022-06-02, in the Tow-Boot chat, which was discussing tl_lim's above comment:

> spikerguy: Tllim asked on. 25th April about pbp tow boot support i replied it just work fine as it should. But just because i am the one to work on factory images plus i am the manjaro arm pkg maintainer maybe he didn't wanted to hear from me instead the community that was assuring him about tow boot and none replied

> The current batch factory image is already submitted. So hopefully we can keep things ready for the next batch

I don't see all comms, but overall I see Tow-Boot on SPI at factory-time as nice-to-have but not essential (users can easily do this, distros don't need to require it, and the next batch can improve it if needded), Pine64 has showed willingness to use Tow-Boot. Tow-Boot has 1 developer, and I'm not sure if they were willing to commit to support this. I understand if they weren't.

This issue is blown out of proportion.

Maybe a good step would be for Pine64 to fund Tow-Boot's support of Pinebook Pro.

And they recently launched the ability for trusted apps to start a Pix transaction. It'll open your banking app with the recipient and amount pre-filled, and all you have to do is authorise it.

They're working on an offline version now, we'll see... that'd be amazing.

All in all, I'll keep using credit cards for security (Pix transactions can't be disputed) and miles.

I've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately (climbing, hiking, etc.) and started fooling around with making my own gear. I've always been interested in the engineering/design challenge of working with flexible materials. After buying a cheap sewing machine and making a simple pouch, I decided to start designing my own patterns as early as possible to maximize learning. i.e. learning to cook, not just following a recipe.

I've made a couple of climbing packs specifically tailored to my size and requirements that have worked out great. (I've had multiple people ask me what brand it is and where could they could buy one!)

What's been really cool is learning about all of the great materials available online now. If you were limited to your local fabric store you would be basically stuck as there is a horrible selection of technical fabrics. With places like Ripstop by the Roll you can have access to state-of-the-art fabrics, fittings, etc. that are as good at (or even better than) what you can find in high-end commercial gear.

One example is UHMwPE fiber (aka Dyneema.) This fiber is dramatically stronger, lighter, and cut resistant than nylon. You can now get fabrics made from the stuff (Challenge Ultra) but the price means it's rarely seen in commercial designs. For me, if I'm going to spend several hours making a pack, the extra $30 in raw materials is irrelevant and you can get an awesome final result.

Ask HN: How do you operationalize life-advice books you read into your own life?
Hey HN gang-

I’ve been reading books lately on improving life (e.g. Atomic Habits, the Artists Way), and what I’m finding is that these books offer so much great “do X action every Y time interval / trigger ” advice -and while reading it, I think “wow yes, I definitely ought to do that”. But… Naturally, time passes and if I’m not deliberate about thinking of those great ideas, I tend to forget about them. I had this idea of using a knowledge base tool (eg Notion, but preferably an open source tool like Hugo) to take notes on the book, and to break out all the “do this” into useful checklists for the day. I’ve found that a good (printed!) checklist can boot up a new habit quickly, and in about 2 months, it feels naturally integrated into your life. With some of these business/life advice books - I want to open Linear.app and start making a backlog of stuff to do, hire a product manager from Upwork and have them work with me on actually DOING all these high value activities. Haven’t done that yet, but it feels like it could be effective. Team work makes the dream work, accountability partner, and all that. Back to the books.

I would love to approach any new book with Intention & a System (I recall there was a post on HN on “How to read X books at once”, where the author had a great system on how to systematically “extract” knowledge from many books at once, perhaps someone can find it). Usually, when I read a book, I’m take notes, in the margin, etc. But where does that really Go? I’d much prefer to add all the “to-dos” to a document, group by recommended interval, and get them on a calendar, along with an easy checklist. Ideally, I’d then review my day - nicely formatted into a presidential-briefing-ish “one pager” - it would list off all the important “to-dos” which apply to the day. I can feel confident that the good advice I’m reading is actively being main-lined into my life, should I choose to perform those actions. Analogous to doing a weekly retrospective, making changes, and then adding those “action items” to the team backlog for continuous improvement.

I’d love to hear from others who have been down this route, built something like this for their own life.

Thank you.
I forget which famous Unix personality the quote / story comes from, but it amounts to "The perfect program is the one you write after you finish the first version, throw it in the garbage, and then handle in the rewrite all the things you didn't know that you didn't know."

That rings true to my experience, and TDD doesn't add much to that process.
The fee is so minimal ($25/mo per bank / $0.05 per transaction) that any bank that even attempts to pass it through is really doing a disservice to their account holders. That said, I put nothing past Wells Fargo or Bank of America.
Transaction fees are much lower in Europe, there are some laws about it. That means that credit card rewards are nowhere near as generous.
