Wow! I’ve been paying for Kagi for as long as it’s been possible to, love the project & the search results are truly so much better than I’ve gotten from Big G for most queries.

Never would’ve expected it to be using Crystal though! That’s really neat. Are there open source bits? I’d love to see some enterprise-level Crystal examples
Same trending is the main reason for visiting gh. I always find amazing repos there
And rightly so. Why would you "hit on" someone who you don't know?

The first step is always getting to know the other person. Hitting on the other person with romantic interest from the start is a sure way not to get to know them in a low pressure environment. If you get to know the other first, they also get to know you. Typically you'd be searching for someone you are willing to spend your time with, and who is willing to spend time with you. And this is only a feasible endeavour if you know them and they know you.

That means: Your goal is not to find someone to "hit on", your goal is to get to know people. You can still explore if the other is interested in a little bit more, once it is established that you find them interesting and they find you interesting.
That Venn diagram is a bastardisation of Ikigai https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai. If you search that word on Google Images, you'll see the same diagram, but it's a departure from the concept, made for self-help content. I recommend looking into the origins of you're interested in it.
Strange, Fargate is anything but fast.
Age isn't relevant. Friendster might've come out before MySpace but not become a dominant network until after MySpace had become dominant.

Not saying that's what happened, I've barely heard the name Friendster before.
I know bashing crypto currencies is well established on HN, but can we please not mention this every time.

This gets annoying.

It's also stopped me uploading video to Instagram because now "your video will be uploaded as a Reel" and controlling the "share to Facebook" permissions for Reels isn't possible via facebook.com, you have to use the iOS app (which I do not have installed.)

Instagram won because it was a low-friction way of sharing images (cf Flickr at the time which was ungodly frictional.) Now it's just friction-a-gogo and if the communities I wanted to connect with existed elsewhere, I'd go elsewhere.
Citys todays are not for the living, they are the banks for dead capital.The living are just decoration, creating demand, thus keeping the value of the investment bubbles up.
Likewise. Im only looking at someone's repo as a terminal state, typically.
and that would make the service better, and eventually cheaper, instead of flying 60 year old designs.
> But after you've got there, you don't have to be that much better than the competition to win.

I don't follow, did you mean it's O(log(n))? Otherwise a social network with 2mil users is still more than twice as good as a social network with 1mil users.
Rather than damn names they should use colours like they did with USB 3.0
A link to github or other coding sample is also accepted. It's a starting point for asking questions.
Technology can only improve our productivity so much. I'd argue that the last time technology really improved our productivity was in the mid 70s to early 80s, with the nuclear push and real improvement in efficiency of Carnot machines, with another wave in the 90s whis some of those improvement reaching the smaller models (IE car motors).

All the rest of our productivity growth is only energy usage.

You make it sound like golf, and it’s a bit like that, except for the fact that he only has a few seconds to make the throw, as various big guys are running towards him, trying to tackle him, and the location of the hole depends on what your opponents do.

He has to be athletic, though, running away from those chasing him, and, occasionally when there’s no good throw option running himself.

I think Brady is doing well because he is lucky (those guys running towards you can end your career quickly), he’s an outlier (his abilities make him change the odds of getting injured, and being able to keep winning games probably helps keeping him motivated) and he likes the game (in professional sports, it’s not a given that players do. Some are more in it for the money and/or the fame)

Also, the American football season is short (17-ish games), play isn’t continuous, and players are on the field, on average, for only half the game.
In the early 90's, if you wanted audio you had to buy a card. Of course, you compared and you wanted the best for your bucks, so instead of the cheapest $30 you could get a Sound Blaster for $50 with full duplex and a MIDI port, it sounded like a great deal. Never used the MIDI, rarely the mic.

We bought cards with capabilities we never needed, so when motherboards came with integrated audio that allowed us to plugin the headphones, we forgot about audio cards. It's now a product for pros.

I remember buying extra cards for ethernet, for interfacing SATA drives, for USB ports... All of them got integrated in the motherboard. The only card that seems to hold strong is the graphics.
I like that they include the prompt, makes it more interesting. Although it's not the full prompt, because the illustrations in their other recent articles are in the same style.
Sure you do. Airplanes should be at least 10% empty on average. High load factors are bad for the travellers.

If you want to save fuel fly 5% slower and save 10% fuel.
I’ve always wondered why they are so bad at learning such an obvious lesson from their supposed biggest threat. TikTok seems to always mix it up; even if you do actually want to watch pimple popping 24/7, they seem to throw in some totally unrelated thing once in a while. Turns out people easily find things they didn’t even know they would enjoy this way, and when they have many interests, their feeds are way more engaging.

What’s so hard about randomizing 10-20% of the time?
Stop asking Gen Z for anything. Fuck me, I don't even know what a Gen Z is.

Sounds like a CPU for all I care. A cheap one too.

Instagram is dying ?

No, I am dying. Lend a helping hand. Buy me an ice-cream.

People are cognitive screwed from all this socalled social network bullshit that turns friends, family and idols into a circus of self-proclaimed everything.

Kylie Jenner ? Really ?

I can almost taste the sugary feeling in the mouth of teenagers when they fall over the same line of self-staging freaks.

Turn it off. Buy a small library. Read.

Pack a suitcase. Buy a train ticket. See the world.

Concentrate. Please.
Great to see this coming along. A potentially great successor to Ruby for those who prefer OO over functional (Elixir).

I use Python for work because of the math/sci libraries and ecosystem, but would otherwise use a Ruby-inspired language.
> German law (mostly and traditionally) thinks of damages as a means to make the other party whole rather than to incentivise a certain behaviour of the injurer.

Does that include payment for time spent seeking a verdict?
Why do you care?

I guess you must be writing this to get some comfort that other people are also struggling with self-doubt as developers? Yes, definitely. Don’t worry about the bloggers. Take what ideas seem useful and move on.
Stalin would agree, there is a pervasive misunderstanding that he was against free speech - in reality, he was against speaking freely and living after speaking.

I'm non-US citizen and still think that there is difference between US and Chinese government.
Getting a flat can be modelled using queuing theory.

A queue operating at max capacity had infinite average waiting time, this is what we are experiencing right now.

The rule of thumb is to never operate at more than 80%, or the waiting time of your jobs starts to increase dramatically.
> (d) Compute the mean age, and print it out as the median. It's much easier to program, and Mary Jones will probably never notice the difference.

Possible improvement: The median will always be a member of the actual dataset, so after calculating the mean, run through the data to find the entry which is closest to it, and return that for the "median". Could make our dastardly plan harder to uncover.
Actually the opposite might happen. Airlines would keep empty seats to sell at a premium at last moment.

A business that rejects customers willing to pay top dollar is suboptimal. The startegy today is to make artificial scarcity. If the customer has more power the strategy changes.
Some people go to university because they have one goal in mind, and want to achieve that - at all costs.

I dormed, and went to school clubs with a few students that saw Uni. as their ticket to riches and prestige. They’d aim for tech, banking, law, and similar jobs which require a minimum 3.5 GPA where I live.

For them, this often meant all work and no fun. Staying in the reading halls late on weekends, prioritizing grades, internships, club positions, etc. over everything.

Ironically, some of these would often lament over the “easy” majors just fucking around, sounding bitter and jealous, while trying to come off as superior. (The worst being some of my engineering peers).

I had a great time. Grew a lot, found new interests, lived life, and met a lot of different people. I was definitely a bit too ambitious as a freshman, at the cost of the “student experience”.

Didn’t get the grades I expected, and decided to just relax and have more fun.

Surprisingly the grades didn’t drop too much, so I managed to maintain over the minimum level for some of the jobs I wanted. And I ended up working alongside some of those 4.0 students, as there are many ways to land the same jobs.

School is what you make out of it. Finding your place can take time…yes, some people are lucky with finding their gang, clique, place, etc. pretty fast. For others it can take a much longer time.
"Small cut" was 30% in my last experience.
I meant the jack. I know a lot of people that try to use their phones for 3+ years and I get my own phones used from a friend I know that owns a shop that does phone repairs. Maybe I don’t have a big enough sample, so it’s too subjective, but the jack fails plenty based on what I see in my social circle.

AFAIK the Essential phone was brutal for jack failures. My friend (repair shop owner) gave me an LG V60 this year and basically said it’ll be great until the USB-C port wears out.

My newest iPad with USB-C seems like the jack is already flaky while old iPads with lightning ports are all good even with the abuse they have to endure from kids they were handed down to.

I have so little faith in USB-C ports that I’ve started trying to buy magnetic adapters for all my stuff.

People break the stupid wafer trying to clean them.

They suck IMO.
Yep, lots of real world workloads shard very well. That wasn't my point. My point was that "most" distributed SQL Databases that do sharding will do very well on TPC-C. You can google search for equivalently impressive results for many distributed SQL databases. Each of them can keep adding more warehouses to the TPC-C workload along with more hosts and shards to the distributed SQL database to push the TPC-C TpmC results into the millions.
Slightly OT, but I have a question on AWS Lambda(s) since they run on Firecracker MicripoVM(s): have somebody found a way to reduce cold-starts times?

Online I was only able to find that the way to go seems to be to produce an heartbeat on a rolling schedule, wanted to look into this.
And 10,000 volts build up on your body when you rub a balloon on your head...

With high voltages, it's all down to how many joules you allow to be dissipated in a human. Ie. Current*voltage*time. Specifically, anything over about 0.01 Joules is dangerous. To use high voltages in a consumer product you need to limit either the current or the time, and you need to do it in a way that is very robust to being chewed on by a baby in a bath. And it needs to be robust to that even when built by a corner-cutting factory.

One approach to that is to have either end of the link 'test' the other end - ie. Simulate a human touching the wire. If power isn't turned off fast enough to be in spec, then the remote end or cable isn't working correctly and shouldnt be used.

Those are passenger rights, a set of rules different from German laws of contract. Also, for cancellations there is no compensation if the flight was cancelled early enough or if the airline can prove exceptional circumstances.
Many drivers do not read the passengers' comments on the order. Anyone who took a second to read this comment would've understood that there is something fishy here.
Never mind that --- how am I supposed to plan a time critical journey if I don't know in advance if I'll actually have a seat on the plane?

This kind of pay-on-the-spot only works when there's tons of capacity, if you don't take this one, you'll get the next, no problem, and where the provider doesn't need 100% usage, i.e. where costs are incremental rather than fixed.

And airplane fails that criteria in both ways. This plan is bad for both airline and customer.
They used to have a separate app called YT Gaming.

Per https://www.failory.com/google/youtube-gaming:
"Out of the 11 million people that have downloaded the app on iOS and Android, and the more than 200 million watching gaming videos daily, only a small number used the app to do so. Most preferred the main YouTube app or the site."
Thoughts from a developer working 1.5yrs in crypto/blockchain/Web3
I think it was inevetiable, because the OS features needed to implement virus scanning are indistinguishable from the features needed to hook malware into the OS (and apart from those technical details, most 3rd party antivirus solutions became actual malware over time, or at least actually increased the attack surface because of the shady shit they're doing).

What's funny though is that I always thought that Apple/macOS is doing things differently because they are a decade ahead of Microsoft when it comes to securing their OS, but it turns out that Apple is actually a decade behind (also see the Windows Vista style confirmation popups on recent macOS versions).
It would make more sense for the payment to be put on escrow.

They have also managed this with affordable housing.

That's something to learn from.

Texas has allowed lots of houses to be built. It's perfectly doable. CA did it until the 1980s.

Iceland is not in the EU. They are in the process of joining since like a decade but have never completed their application. They are in the EFTA and the EEA however.
We almost agree, I would go for D, A, C, B :-)
How would that possibly be cheaper? It costs almost exactly the same to fly a full airplane vs an empty one.

If airplanes are not full, then prices have to go up, not down.
Wonderful. I think this is also the exact right amount of effort for those recruiters that tell me they like the .Net experience on my LinkedIn profile (there's none, really, I do mostly Java).
Because GOOG, FB/META need to hold up reach of their app platform, growth figures, and, ultimately, value of their shares. It's not an either/or strategy anyway, as will be seen by the insane biddings for a perceived next big thing; you can't typically innovate within an established org anyway.
I made summle.net a while back, which is similar.

After I while I found that this type of game can be frustrating as you are not incrementally solving the puzzle - instead there are multiple dead ends before stumbling upon the solution.

Installing apps from another AppStore on android is a somewhat more advanced concept. Enough that most people who think that computers are magic I know only use the official play store. To enable third party stores you have to explicitly enable it, and if you’re doing that you probably know what you’re doing.

Why can’t it be the same on iOS?

All I really need on the iPhone is something like newpipe and I’d be happy.
The book isn't wrong yet. It will be if by 2030 we don't see a decline in food and industrial production.

I think people here mix up "the limit to growth" and "the population bomb", two very different books by different authors, using different methodologies.
The problem isn’t a lack of “cute little lake houses”. The problem are is a lack of “affordable homes”. Or any home.

And adjusting to what exactly? Living in squalor way outside of what you call home because some parasite gets to live in a furnished and unaffordable temp home, payed for by a relocation package?
Instagram and Tiktok serve completely different purposes. Neither is dying.

Wattage is a product of voltage and amperage, so the question would be what the voltage supply is (either 100~120V or 200~240V depending on region) and how much amperage the cable and connections can handle.

To supply 3000W with a 110V supply would require around 28A, which will trip any 10A or 15A breaker commonly found on most house lines going to electrical outlets, but it's well within the realm of something that could be supplied by a circuit equipped with a 30A or higher breaker and qualified wiring.

Of course at 30A or higher, we're talking about things that connect via those bulky connectors you would find on dryers and other high load electronics. Bulky for your safety, mind you.
People ask the young generation because they are the biggest indicator as to where things are heading. Consider how many people will read your answer. How much attention of HN-audience-type-people did you just send down the drain for the righteous feeling of ranting off-topic?
I almost broke my neck on that slippery slope there. Could you explain how that makes the ticket cancellable and most importantly how it would delay the boarding process since the money is taken at checkin? You would not be paying cash, most probably you would mandate the airline to retrieve the money from your account and they would do so upon checkin.

And if this is a "hemmed" industry, I would hate to see one that doesn't have these regulations. Also, the 400 euros you mention don't just come to your account if the plane is delayed, you have to fight months to years on them and the airline will fight you back citing obscure "out of their hands" circumstances. Usually you have to hire a firm that takes 30% of the amount because the process is hard to navigate.

I can show you on this doll where the hemmed industry touched me when RyanAir cancelled my flight and then refused to give the money back. Charge back was refused by the bank with a heartfelt letter saying that in this case I should wait for a refund because the times are hard for everybody. Then after 8 months they gave me my money back missing 60 euros, which the company pocketed.

Or see the current situation in which they cancel flights and then say: oh yeah, oopsie, we'll board on the next flight which is 3 days, see you then. And then you get stranded in Mallorca because there is no way for you to get back. But you'll get 600 euros for this in a year or 2.

Or see that company in Romania (also EU) that this year sold 178k tickets they never meant to honor. You would buy a ticket and then they would cancel the flight the next day - no fines here, they just have to give the money back but good luck with that. This measure would solve this problem.

Why's that?

The way I look at it, if the purpose is to protect people from needing to move because they can't afford property taxes, restrictions should be narrowly tailored to only apply in that case.
Not all people can work remotely!

This is the exact way that janitors and baristas and everyone servicing those 100k+ a year software engineers is priced out.
Sounds like a fun weekend project to replicate it?

The GitHub search API seems to provide everything that is needed. It returns 30 repos per query and allows 30 * 60 * 24 = 43200 queries per day. So one could track the top 43200 * 30 = 1296000 repos.

That is enough to track all repos with more then 20 stars:

https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=stars:%3E1000&s...

But maybe it has already been done? This looks like it:

I held off replacing my 2015 MBP for a long time, but a couple months ago I blew out one of the speakers and the quality of all replacement speakers I could find for sale online looked very suspect. I got my new MBA M2 just the other day, I think if this announcement had happened last month I would have seriously considered it but clearly it was not to be. Maybe next time, I’d love to get my hands on a Framework and give it the Ship of Theseus treatment.

The MBA M2 is great by the way, I love Linux on the desktop but it’s been a while since I had working touchpad gestures and sleep/hibernate that didn’t just die sometimes. No moving parts, all-day battery life, and having my computer in Find My is nice too. I know though once the storage starts going it’ll be an expensive replacement or a new computer altogether.

(Also, the Framework is available for pre-order - the turnaround on my new laptop was about 3 weeks but I have no idea how long I’d wait for a Framework, is it still being released in limited batches?)

I really like the concept, good job!

Just a nitpick: I'd like to see the repo org or author in the repo listings. The top 20 is currently listing 3 different stable-diffusion repos with no obvious differences (except for the ranking scores).
