I agree. It’s interesting to see people make big lofty statements about “the nature of the climate movement” or how climate change is the result of some inherent economic flaw in the way consumption is priced, or (to me, most comically) internalizing externalities.

In reality, these seem like a fancy and pedantic way to avoid saying “I am willing to leverage both my wealth and the looming threat of the deaths of poor people from climate change to secure the fealty and deference to my feelings that my status entitles me to.”
Bose “aligned” with the Nazis so he could free the Indian POWs captured by the Japanese which he then used to build the Indian national army. Also, the Nazis were fighting the British who in India were enemy number one. He wasn’t antisemitic or racist so his alignment is pretty irrelevant.
Isn’t that a bit like saying that Australians are great at playing piano and singing songs and cracking jokes about religion because Tim Minchin exists?
Unintended Consequences of Photography
I'm guessing the amount of people using it is low enough to not bother with mitigation. Then again, there's a LOT of YT videos that take clips from other videos (which in most cases falls under fair use), which I can imagine would use this tool.
Strictly speaking, it's not an SDK, but postgresql's official documentation is the best I have seen. Very easy to find what you're looking for, very approachable for beginners, yet versatile for the one who needs to dig deeper.
Cloudflare Warp is an extremely unreliable and frustrating end user experience that’s not worth the trouble for the vast majority of people.

The client software implementations are poor and unreliable. Any possible performance gain will be wiped out by constantly needing to debug issues.
Interesting to note that you’re basically describing the concept of common law.
Anyone who has ever pulled a website from a script knows the pain that is Javascript. Normally you want to just get some text and work out the API actions but a lot of sites use horribly obfuscated Javascript -- either because that's what modern web development is (lolz) -- or because its part of their 'security.' That means if you want to write browser-based bots properly -- you ought to use a browser. There are special browsers that run 'headlessly' or are designed mostly for bot use. Like https://www.selenium.dev/ which plugs into a few different 'browser engines.'

But now you have another problem. Your simple script goes from being small, simple, self-contained, and elegant gem, to requiring a full browser, specialized drivers, and/or daemons running just to work. If you're using something like Python you just frankly don't have very good packaging. So it's hard to string together all that into a solution and have it magically work for everyone. What YouTube-dl have done is good engineering. Even though it's not a full JS interpreter: they've kept their software lean, self-contained, and easier to use.
Something like windows CreateProcess or posix_spawn().

Re: Ask A Foolish Question, an application of antimatroids as a model of "knowledge spaces" (eg. the tech tree in a strategy game) suggests that concepts/skills which have multiple prerequisites are likely to be easier to acquire/teach than concepts/skills which have a unique prereq. In the former case, one "just" has to combine things one already knows how to do, "all at the same time". In the latter case, one has to figure out some kind of jump that allows doing the old thing in a new way.
That’s the exact same logic I hear from developers who say things like:

Why do I need a full XML parser when I can just extract what I need with regex?

And:

All that RPC IDL stuff is overcomplicated, REST is so much easier because I can just write the client by hand.
On one hand, good for them! It seems like a fair company with no secret catch.

On the other hand… each zoho product I have tried was “like some other thing, but worse”. All the products are basically fine, but not excellent. But again it can find its customers
This seems like a great feature which will definitely get better over time.

However there’s no way I would rely on only this until there is a history of successful usage and/or search and rescue teams validate it in the wild.

Would there still be forensics on the chainsaw even if attempts were made to clean it?
Thanks for the clarification! I was paraphrasing Wikipedia there. I don't know enough about his history to correct it for sure there.
I agree in theory an IP address is the equivalent, but I still think registrars denying domains to particular groups based on ideologies is a freedom of speech issue.

Way off on a tangent here, but do you happen to recommend a particular NAS? I'm in the market.
But why would I ? I really don't care about politics and removing general population democracy would just cut the noise for me. But I have more going on in my life than wanting to avoid populist political topics.
GStreamer is incredibly well documented from when I tried it.
The mapping to divine Lord Rama is unmistakable, and the Godliness bestowed leaves no room for doubt. The iconography of lower caste Bheem showing fealty to lord rama is how the movie ends.

The facts I mentioned are well cited and referenced facts that are well supported. Thanks for acknowledging that you offer no contradiction.

It is also obvious from your play with words - "half minority" that you are upper caste. Eg, Hindu Jain marriages are common.

> I'm fascinated to know how you came to that conclusion.

Lower castes - SC/ST would be irritated by the supplication by Bheem in the end. Non Hindus would find the conversion of a secular independence movement to a hindu religious paen and the exclusion of secular liberal leaders (the father of the nation and first PM) offensive.

This is a typical UC thinking. The only things that are offensive are those that offend me. If someone else gets offended by something else, there is something wrong with them.
Not every measure follows a bell curve. The reason intelligence is seen as following a bell curve is at least partially that intelligence tests are designed with the assumption that it does - so every test that is accepted suggests that it's the case.

Personally I think it's worthwhile to observe that what we call "intelligence" is also generally a self-driven and self-satisfying demonstration of socially-sourced measures of 'ability.' There are plenty of people who are in social situations who would not see any worldly gains from developing those skills because they are not in a situation where they would be allowed to gain from their application. Often, when someone figures out a clever way to get ahead, they are committing a crime and sensibly pretend they are not doing it (and couldn't do it if prompted). People in this situation might actually be 'dumb' - but they certainly have no incentive to demonstrate their 'smartness.'

For a relatively small section of the population, merit really does come into account - but it's not a random sample and so it's very hard, in my view, to feel confident that we know much about 'intelligence' at all - much less that it has a bell curve distribution.
> But can AI create original characters that people feel an emotional connection to and create new stories? Would an AI get people to see the love that's been put into some characters? That's what I'm not so sure about.

I don’t think this would be as hard as you think. In the screenwriting world there’s a very famous book called “Save the cat” which is named after the authors assertion that in the first 5 minutes of the movie the protagonist has got to “save a cat” or some other altruistic act to make the audience like them. To make likeable characters you’d just have to feed in a few prompts for some scenes where they put the needs of others above themselves and one where they vulnerably discuss a tragic event that’s left them psychologically wounded with another character. Boom, one likeable character served on a plate.

Bonus points if the character makes bad decisions throughout the first half of the movie based on this psychological wound (called “the lie they’re telling themselves”) and then in the second half of the movie they make a change culminating in a showdown with the antagonist (who represents what the character would have turned into if they hadn’t changed). Classic hero’s journey.

>why an elite private college is regarded as prestigious

That's begging the question. What intrinsic quality, apart from tuition costs, makes it "elite"?
Part of why I could never really get around to starting a blog is because I have too many topics I’d want to talk about from so many different interests that there wouldn’t be much of an audience for it except for people who just want to know about my life, which is no one. You either flanderize or talk to the void.

Instead, I write comments everywhere across several different threads in many forums. I am an expert in many topics. I find it more satisfying, and I have small micro audiences within each thread.
I am not aware of anyone working in any other FAANG tech space attempting suicide after sending an email to the CEO about transferring teams.

PPK uses exactly the same processing method as RTK, except rather than process in real-time it just logs the information and the merges with afterwards with the data logged from a base station. This is used primarily for remote sensing applications where centimeter accuracy of data is only needed in postprocessing and not at capture time - eg. drones with cameras for 3D reconstruction.

The reason to use PPK is weight and cost - it just uses a normal GPS receiver and doesn't need an RTK sideband antenna, since the base station information can be downloaded over the internet at postprocessing time.

RTK/PPK gives ~3cm precision, while standard GPS gives 6m precision. This new dual-band giving 30cm precision means it is good enough to not use RTK/PPK except in the most demanding applications.

I think my code is regressing:

C++ from 14 years ago:

A career of Java development later, and the code I wrote yesterday looks like this:

https://git.marginalia.nu/marginalia/marginalia.nu/src/commi...

My old code was so tidy. Can't believe I wrote code like that. Although back then I think I mostly used vim. Not having any sort of IDE tooling does sort of tend to force you to be a lot clearer about what you do.
> I think that this paragraph is itself a notional 'e-book', but I found it very confusing to click there (because of my idle clicking habit), and to be taken to a page with the same text but larger, and no indication of what had happened. It may be nice to add some more text. ("Clicking an e-book will open it. You can simply refresh to get back to the main library.")

Thanks. I added the text "Click the back button to go back to the library view." (Right now, this 'e-book' doesn't update if the old version is already stored in your DB. If you want to see the new version you have to use an incognito tab.)
If you want to monitor how well the server holds up to the hug of death, check out its http://ipv4.games/statusz page. For example, you could poll that and calculate (or chart) how many messages per second it's handling.
Absolutely not, there are two channels I’ve watched mixed in, but it also the two only Shorts creators I enjoy. The rest is just mind numbingly dumb or down right extremist.

Over a period of five years I’ve reported maybe three videos. Last week I reported ten Shorts. The reports range from misleading and copy right violation to encouring suicide, violence and endangerment.

YouTube simply does not care, Shorts are there to defend against TikTok, so it bypass any existing algorithmes.
Malayalam films really are something else. For everyone else that isn’t Indian, the trope is Bollywood copies Malayalam films (who are known to have fantastic character development and original stories) and makes them over the top ridiculous, campy and throws in sappy love songs with a bigger budget. It’s kind of like the book was better than the movie argument.
My new, weird smartcard and how I learned to use it
Idk about the best, but, this[1] implementation of hierarchical state machines is beautiful. It uses a few different template metaprogramming tricks to resolve state transitions at compile time! It's truly beautiful.

Stripe's documentation was terrific when we were doing our initial integration. Clear descriptions, frequent use cases were described and indexed so they're easy to find, and the code samples (in 6-8 languages) are copy-paste ready using your own pre-populated credentials.
Your critique may be fair, but I appreciate the perspective that laments lost mastery of old methods and tools. Although it’s true that many today are proficient in the old math methods, nothing beats using it day in and day out. The new may be better, but that doesn’t mean something else that was also good was not lost here.
No, but since it's just a VPN for myself, it only has to be close to my eyeballs.

Well, actually it doesn't, since ping time is not particularly important to me, but in theory.

My webhost would be a terrible replacement for Cloudfare's main product, which maybe you're talking about, as it needs a worldwide presence. This product is a VPN for your phone.
For those that only read the comments, and for my future self, here are his alternative recommendations:

* Books (non-fiction, credible publisher)

* Interviews with authors (CSPAN Booknotes+ and Q&A, New Books Network)

* News orgs with ample reporting resources (New York Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, The Atlantic)

* Obituaries in above news orgs

* Encylopedia Britannica, Biography.com, History.com
K3s is half that. Still quite a lot, but not as much!

I will be adding a better installation process soon.

The first run after booting the daemon is slow (as you can see in the video) because the model has to load.

After that it runs at normal speed.
You are right of course, I got a bit lost in the rhetoric there. The sentence you quoted was meant less literal but more as an indicator of excessive use.

Although I got to say, personally I go to great lengths to avoid my days being started or ended by Google News, group chats, like counters or other corporate packaged emotions-in-a-box...
In general, if you won't miss the money, I'd say go ahead and buy it. Are you familiar with Nassim Taleb or Mohnish Pabrai? If you are, this is one of those low downside, high upside potential (Taleb) or Heads I win, Tails I don't lose much (Pabrai) situations.

- land in Monterey is currently cheap (because of the water meter moratorium)

- there's a mostly-complete project that will make adequate water capacity available soon [1]

- there's a not-yet-fully-approved project that will make lots more water available [2]

- a well-connected insider has told me that water will be available within the next 2.5 years

- you can extract cash up to 50% of your investment value via a HELOC

- if you do get a water meter at some point, your investment will bag 6x to 10x instantly

- it's nice for my ego to get mailers from Sotheby's International Realty asking me if I want to sell my house (they're sending these mailers to everyone, even to people such as myself who don't have an actual house on their land)

- I'm serious about engineering a class-action lawsuit against them to not only issue water meters, but to also allow prefab housing (currently banned) such as Boxabl

- lastly, just between you and me: Monterey is easily a top-5 location in the USA, if not the world. on. every. metric. there's limited land. and no more land is ever going to be produced. grab it while you still can.

Would this work with Fargate? I don't think I've ever seen any Docker (or alike) API there that can spawn new tasks.

I wonder how hard it is to make a custom backend...
When I compare Apple Maps and Google Maps, both show me in the same spot relative to the aerial imagery. Could of course be, that both apps are off. I think it's more likely it's the GPS accuracy.

I know that regular GPS is not super accurate. But my impression was, that chipsets which support Galileo in addition to GPS, would be more accurate than 5-10 m.
Kubernetes is 1000% overkill for a home server, but Hashicorp Nomad is very manageable. It runs all my Docker containers at home.
STDs are common in young adults and in 55+ communities - the reason behind this is left as an exercise for the reader.

According to my mother, is because nobody in her retirement village is afraid of getting pregnant anymore.
Ok, but I'm asking about what actual policies are "those people" voting on? I'm just seeing the fear and anger bits.
Apps targeting pre-2018 iOS versions bundle the mid-2018 version of swift runtime for compatibility reasons.

For example, when you run an app made in the iOS 15 era on an iOS 13 device, the app can’t use any runtime features that are not included with iOS 13. Given that swift is still rapidly evolving, that amounts to a lot of useful features. This year, iOS 16 apps get to use the cool new Regex features.

B.J. Fogg is not necessarily someone to look up to in this area either. He followed a very similar flip flop trajectory and is frequently quoted in the post author's first book on how to get users addicted.

Many of the students that were part of his lab went on to apply his behavior manipulation teachings [1] in leadership positions to engineer us into today's situation. Now, he is decrying the state of affairs he helped bring about. Pinches of salt recommended.

Crowdsourcing - i.e. phishing-like posting of the URL in some social media?
I went with Docker Swarm on the same advice from someone else, and tbh, it's unnecessary overhead as well. And at least on RPis, it's very fragile and not as self-healing as I'd hope it to be. My stacks are well compartmentalized, but weird database locks will still happen, or the swarm will just become unreachable, and I gotta go power-cycle a node or two to get things back up again. (I mean, we're talking once every few weeks or something, but still not okay.)

I've been moving workloads to an old gaming rig running NixOS with varying levels of isolation (some containers, but really just good user/group/permissions management), and it runs super well.

Of course, you could do the same with just Docker Compose and no Swarm, and I think you'd still be better off than using Swarm.
Came here looking for this reference. A comparison table with existing similar projects would be nice.
It’s not a contest, but there are plenty of companies that are more evil. Besides companies that are straight up criminal, my vote would go to traditional data brokers. Google might abuse their wealth of data, but at least they won’t happily sell it on the street corner.

And how would you do that when there is infinite scroll?

As a backend dev who can do a bit of traditional style frontend, I fail to see the need for all this complexity. Most apps are running same database queries and displaying it on a webpage.

If it's been a while since you last opened a book, I think showing the last paragraph you read is better, gives you context.

I've experimented a bit with indicating the current paragraph (for example making that paragraph black and the other paragraphs dark grey), but didn't find anything I was happy with. I think the mild annoyance of even the most subtle indication over hours of reading would be worse then the mild annoyance of picking the "wrong" paragraph, which you will only notice when you browse the library and open a book.
Ask HN: How to handle the legal formality of cofounder leaving?
My cofounder and I have been working on a project for like 2 months and we incorporated a month ago through Stripe Atlas as a C corp.

He left recently due to disagreement and we're not on the best terms.

But over texts he said that he hasn't vested the stocks so he assumes everything belongs to me and he will not be working on the project anymore. I wonder if there is any formal document he has to sign for it or just the existence of texts should be good enough.

I know the conventional advice will be to be safe and talk to lawyers but lawyers are charging way more than it would cost me to just incorporate a new company tbh.

The company is brand new so I don't feel bad about just letting go of it tbh. I am just cautious of any future claims he might make.
> limitations on state censorship

That's still what we're talking about. The state has just gotten better at outsourcing the work, so people who aren't paying close attention don't even recognize it as such. Hence my invocation of "the cathedral", as opposed to narrowly "the government".
Well I think it's quite simple...

You're willing to sacrifice 40k to make comments on HN freely.

I'm not only willing, but would truly relish, even years fighting over some kitchen sieve of a anti-defamation contract in court. (all while the employer is forced to air out exactly what they tried to pay me off for mind you)

I'm not saying the latter approach is everyone's cup of tea, but I can definitely tell you which one I think is more likely to make an impact that hurts them...
