On the other hand, if your reference for mustard intensity is American mustard, then Dijon will come as a shock.

Watching Europeans (incl. Brits) watch Americans put mustard on things is always fun. The eyes go wide, and there's a look of panicked disbelief as you can see them thinking "No, stop, too much!!!"
This is definitely what I am interested in-- how existing cell HW can be picked up by their satellites. Even at low data rates for emergency SMS, etc. (caveat, I'm not a HW or radio engineer), this seems like an incredible feat if they can get it to work.
Ah, thanks! I've updated my comment to reflect that.

What you describe is also a sensible use of CUE. I suppose if one of your goals is 'avoid asking users to use a language they don't already know', it might be for the best. :)

But personally I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of CUE usage to work with devboxes, hehe.

For continuity, here is my aside on CUE from that comment, apropos of nothing but my lack of reading comprehension :D

----

CUE is, like Nix, a simple, configuration-oriented DSL. But unlike Nix, it's really just extended JSON (a JSON file can be thought of as a CUE file where all of the values are concrete), it has a different kind of type system where values are types, and the language is decidedly not Turing complete. The type system is pretty neat, and the basic idea is that you can put constraints in the place of values, and write data structures that contain mixes of each. Then latter you can apply those constraints to a configuration/specification and CUE will tell you whether they're compatible. It's cool because you can write your specification and your data in the same format.

While CUE is not a full programming language, it does have a small stdlib and basic 'comprehensions' (like list comprehensions in Python) for generating data structures from other data structures. This gives at least a little flexibility and some hope of concision, defining repetitive data structures.

Having used Nix a lot and CUE a little, I'm not sure which set of tradeoffs in terms of power and simplicity is it right one, but I do think that CUE's choices are interesting and reasonable, and its type system is clever and easy to work with.
To double tap the sibling's replies here - I'm a fly user and found it challenging to locate the release_command docs. Highlighting these in the docs somehow would be a good idea since I think _most_ apps will need something like this.
Because of course the people who voted for Donald Trump are uneducated and don't know science? Are you hearing yourself?

Arthur Koestler in "Sleepwalkers" cites numerous criticisms from Vatican backed scholars that strongly suggest even though Copernicus may not have faced the unbridled legal wrath of the Church, that his career and reputation were severely tested for doing so.

Thats strange and I have never heard this issue before. Did you have any issue filed in github with them. One way to go around is to export and download your data. You can then import it into a new account or an account run on Vaultwarden.
What the... is that what's possible with 5G? Amazing, and even days ago I was thinking of satellite smartphone internet as something scifi because of (clearly incorrect!) complicated antenna requirements.

Electron apps can be written well, VS code is a great example. The majority of my customers use the electron versions of my apps, and 99% of them don't even know what electron is.

So in the meantime, I don't really give a crap what the average angsty passive aggressive self-entitled developer thinks about the underpinning framework that my products are written with since frankly, you're not really the target demographic. (For most software).
> Included for free with most T-Mobile plans other than the cheapest plans

This is big. Only concerning part seems to be the large antenna required on the satellites, which would probably incur some extra scrutiny by regulators, but IMO the benefits of something like this far exceed the downsides.
Eh, not true. Communities looked after their elderly. We've just removed any aspect of community from society. Individualism to a fault is causing these problems.
If you want to be really disconnected you need to take responsibility and at least enable airplane mode or use a faraday pouch.

Oh man, wait till you hear about GPS.
I like how Atlassian allows you to use their product names in your own as long as you structure it like ‘[my product] for [atlassian product]’

I kinda find it hard to not use the product name if it’s something specifically made for that product e.g. slackmoji
Let's start with this: I don't know how I can explain why this kind of discourse opens trans people up to violence if we can't first agree why this is transphobic.

Fundamentally we keep having this conversation in humanity.

"This is wrong (homophobic, transphobic, racist, classist, casteist)"

"No it isn't!"

And over and over and over again. And we look back and think how could it have been possible that we were SO discriminatory in the past, but SO enlightened now, and yet we repeat the same mistakes again.

And you have some feminists that exclude trans women. And you have some black people perpetuating homophobia.

15 years ago we were having EXACTLY the same discourse about gay marriage as we do today about trans rights.

It's exhausting how much some humans are committed to making the lives of other humans on this planet shitty. Fuck, let people live their lives. We all only get one.
In addition to a built in log drain, my other FR would be better tooling for specifically build and deployment logs. When upgrades or remote builds fail, I've found finding the logs for either of these to be a bit of a challenge. Heroku has that nice deployment logs interface that I'd love to see in fly.
Just measured, and I have 10-12ms network latency end to end, from my computer to the Geforce servers. There may be some fuzz factor and complications, but again, for me it's neglible.
Garmin inReach but works on any phone and a bit more bandwidth so not restricted to emergency messages. Also free with most T-Mobile plans (inReach is currently expensive, but may drop in response if that isn't a capacity only issue).
Won't closing a card without cancelling impact your credit score as all the the declines pile up?
Yeah. I think Heroku's own Git hosting is a bit weird feature now since git repo integration is now popular.
Not if they use the regular frequencies. It'll require a pretty sensitive receiver though, no point in steering the beam if you don't know where the recipient is.
Really big antennas, and really slow signals. The satellite is expected to downlink at 2-4 megabit, and uplink will likely be slower still.

Wait until you hear the difference between UPD and TCP.
That isn't what this is, but they did mention maybe partnering for backhaul in the future (likely with similar tech and frequencies to the home internet, not the frequencies in this announcement).
It's nice to see new tools and SDKs being built to try and simplify development. However, I'm always against frameworks/SDKs which try to abstract away the native coding experience and move developers away from using the SDKs Apple/Google provide.

These types of solutions will always lag behind the official SDKs, and require ongoing maintenance from the authors as new features are added. This also requires individuals to learn something else in addition to the core SDK (I believe you will ultimately need to learn about the core SDK regardless of what you want to do).

In my opinion, working with the native SDKs is the best solution. You are as close to the SDK as possible and are able to do what you want. For Android in particular, it's important to minimize the layers between your code and drawing the UI.

With that said, kudos on building this as it's no easy feat to accomplish.
The inputs are domain + username + counter. So you just increment the counter.
Curious that the Apple event next month is themed "Far Out" with space imagery. I imagine this is the modems that were widely reported last year as being part of the 13/14 SOCs

I think this is very interesting and a smart move for Starlink to improve profitability options in the long term.
Definitely get a copy of Working Effectively With Legacy Code, by Michael C. Feathers. Indispensable. Second, and more aimed at the project/product management level is Kill It With Fire: Manage Aging Computer Systems (and Future Proof Modern Ones) from Marianne Bellotti. Older, but still worth a look in some cases, is Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns, 2008, by Demeyer, Ducasse, and Nierstrasz.

And finally, at the code level, it's absolutely essential to have a copy of Martin Fowler's Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code handy. Yes, many tools have automated the mechanics of refactoring, but knowing when and how to use them needs this book.
its total nonsense but it sounds smart. Plenty of people have been stopped from being able to create what they want because of external circumstances.

It's nonsense and survivor bias all at once.
GPS is an 'incredible feat', that's advanced magic. This is many orders of magnitude more signal strength, even without beam steering. That said, it will still require a pretty sensitive receiver, but nothing on the order of what your cell phone already contains for GPS.
It's not an offset if it would have been that way anyway - In other words, you owning/living in a rural area does nothing extra to offset carbon emissions, because that rural area would have offset it regardless.

The infrastructure-to-population cost ratio of urban areas is way, way higher than rural areas. A meter of footpath, road or sewer in a city is reused by (just spitballing numbers) 10x as many people compared to a suburb, and probably 100x vs a rural area. Infrastructure is just much cheaper in cities relative to the served population, because so much less land area needs to be covered.

Since people generally pay the same taxes no matter where they live, the net result is cities generally fund a lot of infrastructure for other areas, as they are so much more efficient.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with this for genuinely rural areas - we do need farms etc, so infrastructure built to serve them is well spent. The issue arises when we sprawl with suburbs, as they don't serve any particular purpose that couldn't be fulfilled by a dense city, but cost much more in terms of infrastructure expense.

I have no problem with people living in suburbs, so long as they bear most of the cost of living that lifestyle, rather than dense urban areas funding them.
People always say this. But I have a hard time believing things weren't more divisive, say, during The Vietnam War.

The internet makes conflicts more visible. It also attenuates them, so fewer people get killed. Physical conflict is transformed into digital conflict.
>It's not "made up".

of course it is. It's a pre-mined token that has only one incentive, and that is to get more people to use Brave and BAT. They could have simply payed you in dollars, Ethereum or Bitcoin directly, right? No harder to credit you with an existing, relatively stable crypto currency. The difference is of course, they would have to actually pay for that and you'd have no incentive to pump up the currency.

it's pretty genius in a way to bolt a MLM scheme on top of a browser.
I'm pretty sure I'm disagreeing? He's claiming having a "super-topmost" feature would somehow defy logic, whereas I'm saying it's perfectly fine—you can (and later Microsoft literally did) implement a "super-topmost" flag perfectly fine, and it would literally mean "this is on top of all topmost windows", just as the customer had requested. Of course logically it couldn't always be on top of other super-topmost windows, but that's not what the customer asked for either.
The claim is it won't.
Ask HN: Are there any alternatives to ESO Fund for non-recourse cash advances?
I was an early employee at a private US startup many years ago. I exercised some stock options, but I cannot sell any shares yet due to transfer restrictions (which is quite common.) I am not a US citizen or tax resident, and I have moved back to my home country of New Zealand.

I have received an offer from ESO Fund [1]. They are offering to provide a non-recourse cash advance (aka a loan) in exchange for a percentage of the upside after the company has an IPO.

One of the conditions of this offer is that I would need to transfer my shares into a trust. This would be a Permitted Transfer, which the company does allow. I believe the purpose of the trust is to function as an escrow, to ensure that they receive their money after the IPO.

I've talked to a tax advisor, and this will cause some huge problems due to my country's tax laws (FIF.) We basically have a wealth tax for foreign investments, and this transfer would cause my annual tax bill to increase by hundreds of thousands of dollars. I cannot afford to pay these taxes because my shares are illiquid. I am currently exempt from this FIF tax since I received the shares through an employee share scheme (EX 38.) Transferring my shares to a trust would cause me to lose this exemption.

Can anyone suggest any solutions to this problem? Is there some additional clause we could add to the contract, or anything else I could offer them?

Otherwise, are there any alternatives to ESO Fund that might allow me to continue owning the shares?

Finally, this company is basically ready to have an IPO whenever the conditions are right. They could have had an IPO last year. How much longer do you think I might need to wait for the IPO?

As the article states, it's true: nobody in Canada has realized how short things are in France, so I'll be making a lot of people happy buying and re-importing Canadian-grown, France-jarred, dijon back into France when I go next month.

In France, speaking about a mustard shortage (real or synthetic) will immediately result in one, but not over here!
Again, there is no "cloud," there is only "other peoples computers." It's time to start taking seriously ideas like "home servers."
I had the same thought - an off the shelf double-paned window module would be great, otherwise a homebrewed version with two panes and a partial-vacuum pumped out between them.
If you're using local vaults then you don't need the vast majority of features they're building. I think it makes a lot of sense to de-prioritize that type of user. Stuff like one time shares (or any sharing really), travel mode, multi account management, not to mention all the enterprise features. It's basically an entirely different product, and I don't fault them for going in a different direction when there are so many other, free products which fill that niche.

The communication could've maybe been better, but overall it's hard to say that the rug was pulled out from under you when you were not using a subscription nor obligated to receive updates. The old binaries still work fine.
Not sure how connected this is to sci-hub and the academic momentum against journals and Elsevier in particular. But as a rough guess, Elseviers parent company had 1.7 billion USD net profit in 2021 [1]. In theory, that money should now start going to universities/research and partially passed along as savings to students..

See my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32597071 for information about how Copernicus was received academically from an academic's point of view. Also worth recognizing is that it was Protestants, not Catholics, who were by far the harshest towards Copernicus, as Copernicus was harshly mocked by Luther and his predecessor Melanchthon.

Melanchthon:

"Some people believe that it is excellent and correct to work out a thing as absurd as did that Sarmatian [i.e., Polish] astronomer who moves the earth and stops the sun. Indeed, wise rulers should have curbed such light-mindedness."

"The eyes are witnesses that the heavens revolve in the space of twenty-four hours. But certain men, either from the love of novelty, or to make a display of ingenuity, have concluded that the earth moves; and they maintain that neither the eighth sphere [the celestial sphere] nor the sun revolves. … Now, it is a want of honesty and decency to assert such notions publicly, and the example is pernicious."

Luther:

"People gave ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon….This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but sacred scripture tells us [Joshua 10:13] that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth."

Also recognize your book is from 1959, before the internet, before many books were digitized, and before many of these things were debunked.
Same here, many years ago I made a web app for our sales team and third party so they can sell/buy our products, the whole business is still powered by IBM iSeries. Basically the AS/400 is the source of truth and the web app just pulls the data couple times a day and provide a nice GUI for the users. The sales orders are automatically sent to the iSeries in batch so no more manual entries and their status are reflected back on the web app so you can have an overview of each orders. Sadly we are looking at moving away from iSeries and we will be at the mercy of whatever cloud solution that will meet our needs.
I love this observation:

“They might be incredibly good at what they do, but that doesn’t mean they know WHY they are good… those are two totally different things”

It’s the Yang to the Yin of:

“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.” (Which has always rubbed me the wrong way).
Your analogy fails because it's not the people doing work in science that are capturing the returns. It's a bunch of rent-seeking publishers whose entire business model is extortion.

This is more like if a VC funded you, but Google said they wouldn't render your page in Chrome unless people paid them for access, and also you aren't allowed to take payment.
Alright, this is the part of the message in question, in case it wasn't clear:

> But in practice, for startups it's almost never the case, and having this belief is actually harmful.

Maybe they were thinking of startups in the earliest stages (before having any real number of employees, Pre-series A), but the failures in those situations are less nuanced, at least in this context - do they really need discussion? The article is clearly talking about companies that were not in the earliest stage at the time of the actions being discussed.

>Unfortunately for testing, as mentioned, right now there is no Linux driver exposing the M2 SoC power consumption under Linux. Hopefully this will be addressed in time but unfortunately meant not being able to deliver any accurate performance-per-Watt / power consumption benchmarks in this article. But when such support does come, it will likely show the M2 indeed delivering much better power efficiency than the Intel and AMD laptops tested. Even under demanding multi-threaded workloads, the M2 MacBook Air was not nearly as warm as the other laptops tested. It's a night and day difference of the M2 MacBook Air still being cool to warm compared to the likes of other notebooks like especially Dell XPS laptops that get outright hot under load. The power consumption metrics should also be more useful/relevant once Linux has working M1/M2 GPU support in place too.

I mean, you shove a fan on the M2 and it beats itself...

The last time I looked at Lesspass, its implementation was worryingly incompetent[1][2]. Just use your browser’s password manager; it’s less phishable than a manual `genp site` and your passwords don’t pass through your clipboard.

EDIT: I revisited the code. Looks like everything in [1] is fixed, nothing in [2] is fixed, there are now JWTs for some reason, and… they removed metadata encryption??[3][4] Or it was never in in the first place and simple-crypto-js was used for something else?
