I also kinda like it , but I believe this implies that function types either can't be first class values or that parsing needs full type information because otherwise you couldn't distinguish between single and chained calls-- or am I missing something?

Their satellite phones are absolutely ancient and look like 90s era Nokia. If voice was their competitive advantage you would assume they would invest heavily in keeping the equipment current. Looking at their service plans[0] I don't see anything compelling that matches Iridium or Inmarsat.

Hi foxhop - at the moment, yes. We've had conversations with people about GitLab, Gitea, BitBucket, SourceHut and others and we'd like to support them, and self hosted, in time. For now we're constrained by resources though so I can't put a timeline on other services!

What happens when your phone breaks? How does one migrate an eSIM from a broken phone to a new (or other existing) phone without having to physically go to the cellphone store, or other such shenanigans?

My quick web search revealed eSIMs to be non-portable.
“How come there is nobody held responsible for relying on the cheapest, most reliable, longest used source of energy used by literally every country on the planet” is certainly a take.
Well, asbestos has obvious benefits. It's an amazing, cheap way to insulate things, and it's very resistant to fire.

We knew abestos was dangerous even before the WW2, and kept using it because it was so convenient.

That's the thing about know-it-all neo-ludditism pithy dismissals. They started 30 years ago witha much more soft tone. But since not only people ignored the warnings, but eventually even came to insult the people performing said warning (even after the warning proved to be true), the same people turned kinda sarcarstics.

Poor you to have to read a rational argument in a comment using history and logic to underline our societies shit where they eat and ignore the asymetry of risk.

Sacarstic people are mean and don't understand how to have quality discussions. They should always stay perfectly calm and neutral while they feel like half of the population is setting us up for troubles.
This is a political not a technical issue. Russia and the EU are figuring out what their relationship is with regard to energy supplies and if we will say The Ukraine or Ukraine in 10 years.

Partially yes. But a distinguished homogeneous population of a single gender probably has a normal distribution. Luckily humans usually don’t live in a distinguished homogeneous population of a single gender, so comparing your self to the average is at best fun. (unless you are an outlier, then it can be interesting or medically useful).
> If the sale wouldn’t happen without an ad, then that’s a necessary ad

I think that's the core issue here, healthcare and pharmaceuticals have basically inelastic demand. The US is one of only two countries where it's even legal for pharma companies to advertise directly to consumers.

I know in practice they can create demand for products, but that doesn't necessarily seem like a good thing, so I think you could argue that it's still a waste of money even if it does create profit for the company.

> I don't even think the dissapearing part about svelte is that important. That kind of performance is rarely going to matter before other bottlenecks. And if it really is that crucial, there's nothing stopping either react or vue 3 from doing something very similar. Vue 3 already has sfc that go through a "compile" process, and it uses getter/setters to make targetted changes.

It matters a lot, especially on mobile phones with less processing power and spotty internet connection.

It's a huge factor, actually. Downloading and parsing React+React-DOM on mobile phones, especially if they are not high end, is miserably slow.

Also, it's not only a user experience problem, your "Google Rank" is influenced by your lighthouse scores.

So I'd argue "that kind of performance" is business critical on several levels. At least in my experience.
Great ideas. Trust is at the heart of what we're doing here, so I'd love to see this come into fruition.

The silicone earplugs have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 22dB. I use these, which have a NRR rating of 33dB:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051U7W32

I don't like using them full size because they tend to make my ear sore when worn for long periods, so I cut about 1/4" off the smaller end. I wash mine when I take a shower, so this bottle of 50 pairs has lasted nearly 10 years.

I have tinnitus caused by working in a computer room with loud blowers, and wearing ear plugs most of the time helps a lot. Good luck!
Marvelous, these people are so connected to the land they see and feel things that very few do.
Sure, I don't like handling input or strings in C. But as the author notes, it's good for datastructures. Some, like his Trie, just can't be optimized or done sanely without a language that supports pointers. Additionally, if you're writing in a *nix system you have all the Posix man pages at your fingertips.

Not exactly C specific, but I sure don't like reasoning about memory or compiler barriers like his shared memory example. Footguns galore.

Footnote on barriers;

The gcc extensions he was using; https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fatomic-Builtins..., https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/GCCMM/AtomicSync

The kernel documentation naturally has different semantics and barriers available to it, but the behavior of compilers and cpu pipelining is documented well; https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/staging/index.html#me...

I like Bert Hubert's writing because he always comes across as someone who's unbiased and genuinely cares. One thing I'm surprised he didn't mention is how large corporations operate their own private internets in basically the same way as countries like China and North Korea. Why wouldn't they? It's how the ARPAnet used to work. They only let scientists, engineers, and university students use the thing. I'm sure it was a much more pleasant environment than the spam hellscape of the modern public net. So obviously every corporate and national community who shares the same dream is going to try and escape it. Where is it written that private internets are perfectly normal when a corporation does it, but evil when a country does too? Some are certainly guilty of mismanagement, but I wouldn't judge their motivations, or say they're "controlling" what they're trying to escape.
Those institutions are a fair bit more regulated than 'big ad tech'.

It's a good point though, and to add to it: mobile comms companies' ability to track device, and therefore individual locations.
It's an argument against the claim that there's virtue in doing things and that those who don't are lazy.

There's a huge gap between any "natural" instincts (needing to eat, needing to sleep, breathe, keep warm, social connections) and the sort of tasks you need to do in your modern life, like writing a boring report. The idea of laziness - and that there's virtue in doing such things - is a cultural trueism, not a "natural" state of humans.

> Why are we so hard on ourselves? I think it’s because we have a bad theory about how our minds work, one so dastardly that it could have only been devised by the devil himself. It goes like this:

>> We humans are, deep down, lazy and gluttonous creatures. If left to our own devices, we will do nothing but eat Pringles and watch Netflix. The only way we can escape our indolent nature is to exert our higher faculties over our base instincts.
Probably the 'natural' interest rate (where resource allocation accurately prices risk) is around 5%, based on history.

To successfully fight inflation, likely rates will need to be somewhat higher than that for a period.
yes and also no.
Nope, dude at my job totally got "laid off" for choosing to write a feature in an ecommerce system in React. He had used it before at a previous job and was familiar with it. Problem was:

- No one else in the team was familiar with React.

- React did not play nice with the rest of the app and developer work flow.

- It was huge and slow

- He didn't know React as well as he thought he did and we had endless bugs.

- He spent ages working on it.

We rewrote in vanilla JS in 4 days - one dev.

And, yeah, effing JS.
It is appreciated, but we all have to choose our battles.

> For example, youtube could require that you have a webcam, and run a trusted-computing-module DRM code which forces your webcam to be on and recording your face to view their videos?

I propose a mandatory integration with Alexa devices. Whenever the DRM module detects the consumer failing to fulfil the contractually required viewing quota, the Alexa device will be notified to emit loudly the message “Resume viewing!”. Furthermore, if available, it will cause the Hue lights to turn red and flash in order to amplify the gravity and importance of the message.

In addition to the mandatory Alexa integration, I believe it is paramount advertisers be allowed to enforce contractual viewing quotas in order to prevent financial losses. To that end, failure to resume viewing within 30 seconds should result in immediate freezing of bank accounts, immediate blocking of the self driving car from working and immediate locking of the house smart lock - To prevent the consumer from escaping the contractually enforced duties.

One more idea I can add is this. It is unfair for the advertisers to incur loss and costs due to non compliant consumers. In order to rectify these losses, interest in the form of viewing time should be applied to time spent not watching adverts. A standard 12.5% time interest should suffice. For example, a consumer failing to resume watching for 10 minutes should have 1 minute and 15 seconds added to the viewing quota.
I don't think this is accurate.

I have an Ergodox EZ sitting collecting dust these days. I got a great deal of use out of it and before long I was compiling my own firmware and making use of various advanced QMK features that were not available through the online visual layer configuration tool.

The keyboard has great build quality, the customer service is great (I got a free replacement for the right half after an issue with one of the keys), the ortholinear layout isn't that difficult to get used to, but ultimately the issue for me was that my hands aren't big enough to use the keyboard comfortably or to type as accurately as I'd like / as I'm used to typing.

I'm now back on my Apple Magic Keyboard and happier than ever, though with a few tweaks and improvements taken from my time using the Ergodox EZ.

I am now using kanata[1] which allows me to have multiple QMK-style layers on my regular old keyboard. This is already a huge step up from my pre-Ergodox days! I also like that I can have my layer configurations version controlled in a plain old git/dotfiles repo.

Since the layers are handled at the software level, I wrote my own integration with kanata, called komokana[2] to switch keyboard layers programmatically based on different state events emitted from my tiling window manager[3].

What that means in practice is that my keyboard can automatically switch to an app-specific layer when that app's window is focused, or to a workspace specific layer, or to a browser tab-specific layer, or really just switch on any event emitted by the window manager or any specific window manager state.

For me, this is really the killer feature of my setup now, and one that I don't think would be anywhere near as easy to implement with QMK which sits at the hardware level.

The jump from having to trigger layer changes via key presses or holds to having my keyboard automagically switch to the layer I want for a given application is almost as big as the jump from having no layers to having layers. There is just no going back once you've experienced it.

> you can't just declare bankruptcy. The court won't allow you to do it because you make too much money

Isn't this always the case? My understanding was that bankruptcy is for when you don't have enough income to pay bills, so if you have a bill for any amount but are able to pay it then you wouldn't be allowed to declare bankruptcy

The typing experience itself was pleasurable and solid (although the tenting arms were a little weird.) It wasn't abused/sat on my desk and always had an issue with the cable connecting the halves (I had to play with it sometimes to get one half to be recognized.) Then eventually the right-angle mini USB cable started winking out and requiring me to re-seat it.

Maybe I just got a bad unit. Regardless, I was really disappointed in their support options.

There's some time I'm never getting back. The link points to a YouTube channel; I looked at the most recent video. It's a montages of stock video of generic stock traders and slick pictures of banks and money, plus bars of gold.

The voice over is a word salad of someone trying to sound smart, but who is actually jumping from one partly explained concept to the next. The video simply ended abruptly without any kind of wrap up.

End result: vague doom-and-gloom about how there will be some kind of financial panic? The most recent video on the channel, BTW, didn't actually use the phrase fiat currency.

I used to use airbnb quite a bit a few years ago but over time, I stopped. In my experience, the best rentals are the ones where the owner lives part of the time in the apartment, most of those have disappeared from the platform or it's difficult to find them.

The professional rentals on airbnb tend to have very subpar beds and offer a much worse experience than hotels. Reviews are pretty much useless to differentiate between hosts and in the end, it's a race to the bottom.

One tip btw, my parents hosts on airbnb and keep the account they use as customers entirely separated from their host account (and use a vpn to not have the same ip address between accounts).

It highly depends on the energy mix of your country, but some countries may actually be in for a difficult winter.

You can store energy of course and even hoard it which increases the problem. Here in Poland first there were 2 week lines for coal and now there is none. Pellet has gone up in price 3x. Electric price has gone up 2-3x. Gas supply is in question. The government has said to burn anything for heat you can get your hands on which means low quality coal, peat and trash. Even if I have energy, my lungs would pay the price.

Some people are running the numbers and realizing that they can temporarily move to a warm country for the price of their heating and electric bills.
Platform that generates end-to-end tests for any website
Hi HN!

My friend and I just created Responsiveye (https://responsiveye.com) - the first platform that generates automated end-to-end tests by itself.

Basically, you need to take 3 minutes to set it up and that’s it. Automatically, Responsiveye scans all pages on your site and generates hundreds of automated end-to-end tests that are ready to go.
You can trigger them within your CICD pipeline after which all of the tests will run in parallel on our infrastructure so you get results back within minutes.

We're currently in an alpha stage and we're applying for YC this week.

You can also sign up for beta access and any feedback you can give is appreciated a lot.

It also ignores the Hitler-types and their negative influence on the world (Hitler was beaten brutally by his father IIRC).
On the contrary, I look forward to innovation that actually has to be profitable at the end. All these bright-colored-plastic startups without a real business model will die, and ageism will lessen as experience and the ability to make money takes precedence over "culture fit" and "vision". Maybe Silicon Valley can even consider working with... the GOVERNMENT!!! You know, those institutions that actually have the authority to directly solve the problems Silicon Valley tries to make money off of? There's already some signs of this, thankfully. But I still roll my eyes hard every time some SV engineer has a moral outrage/stages a walkout because they discover their company has a DoD contract. It's long past time for SV to be brought back down a couple of levels, maybe not so far as to force them all the way back into the real world, but tree-top-level might be a good idea.

One thing I noticed in the middle, when concatenating Rust files for a demonstration:

> Note also that the files are sorted before concatenating, so that the result is guaranteed to be deterministic.

No locale was defined and the example sort command used cannot be considered deterministic. The results could vary wildly on different systems just through the locale alone!

Two solutions: define the locale ("LC_ALL=C" before the command should be sufficient), or use the -V flag on sort.
