From the article

"It seems clear that for us there are no other ways out than a decisive shift toward renewables, already today much cheaper than fossil fuels and capable of completely replacing them. Politicians have not yet understood this, but moving to renewables would protect us from new crises of energy availability and from blackmail by producers. But it's not something that can be done overnight."
I mean I moved out of my hometown with that - meeting people - as an additional objective. It didn't work relationship wise (I ended up with someone I met online over a shared hobby / community), but it was an interesting experiment I guess. I like to think I ended up a bit more worldly, a bit more resilient to social situations and dealing with people very different from me personality wise.
Fracking probably takes awhile to get started...also geological European conditions are not great for that.
I do wonder why the Dutch won't reopen the Groningen gas field. Yes earthquakes I know but this is a real crisis.
when you have a diagnosis, then what? where do you actually go from there?

are there doors that an ADHD diagnosis opens that have a better ROI than, say, graymarket modafinil?
I have a "bootleg" magsafe usb-c cable for my 2018 "worst model in history" mbpro with emoji keyboard.

When I bought it i did the research and random magnetic cables on amazon were reviewed along the lines of "this burned my laptop". I ended up getting an (expensive-ish) one from my local apple dealer.

I'd rather have Apple do it thank you.
Will that be soon enough for the Aluminium, steel and fertilizer plants that are currently idling and have fired 90% of their work force?
In NL we even have food packing companies shutting down production this winter for 6 weeks.

How many months/years of idling will it be before they go bankrupt or the owners decide to pull the plug?
I love the cartoon series with Lovelace, Babbage and Brunel:

I've been saying "vahr kahr" for so long that when I am in a discussion of biochar" I inevitably pronounce the "char" as "kar", try as I might to avoid that. I do wonder sometimes what my interlocutors think of it, but like the author of this piece, I don't care that much.

Also I hate discussions about biochar.
nonsense. the political activity required to solve the big problems would sweep these little bullshit issues off the table.
> How does it matter?

I was just curious. It seemed stantaylor was happy the kids were out of the house. I was wondering why they were in the house to begin with.

> people deserve also "me time"

Of course, to each their own. Not having kids is a good way to have a lot of "me time".
There was a case where someone was getting ads for pregnancy products before she herself even knew she was pregnant, iirc it was down to search queries but don't quote me on that (or that the story is actually true).
Then have the cord part removable and replaceable from the brick (which is already the case with most phone chargers). If the connector gets damaged, buying a replacement would be easy and cheap.

E.g. I hate it when the 3.5mm audio jack cord of expensive headphones is soldered stuck to the headphones. When it breaks, and it will, I have to replace the entire headphones (or do a lousy soldering job) rather then just the cord. Computer chargers are the same.
This may be relevant: To find work you love, don’t (always) follow your passion

https://80000hours.org/articles/dont-follow-your-passion/

80,000 Hours is a nonprofit organization providing free resources to people to find best opportunities to have a positive impact on the world. I think that if one's occupation has a clear positive impact on others, it is easier to get excited about doing it (and doing it well).

One of three important aspects to life/work satisfaction (and motivation), according to the well-researched Self Determination Theory is "relatedness" - feeling like you're contributing to welfare of others (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory ).
The reason, I (founder of Coolify) choose that, it was faster.

I’m currently making a feature, that will change this. All services could be defined with a simple yaml file that won’t be hardcoded. They will be sitting in a repository and everyone can add any service with a simple yaml file.

It is definitely more maintainable than the current solution, but with the current solution, I could iterate faster. :)
Thinking out loud if Apple would resort to making 2 versions of their iPhones? And then exclusively selling the USB-C version in the EU, and everywhere else giving the customers a choice.
I think this is a standard feature on Samsung phones, but I really wish it was standard in Android.
It's not that the other Europeans particularly care about Ukraine. They remember what happened last time they tried to appease an aggressive, expansionist dictator. If Ukraine is allowed to fall then next it will be Moldova, Lithuania, Poland, and so on. Better to take the pain now while the problem is still manageable rather than letting the situation spiral out of control.

Show HN: Nodu, a minimalist personal development / productivity app
Nodu is a minimalist personal development app that helps you stay focused on long-term goals, day by day. Every morning you decide what you will do and what you will not do by swiping away objectives and only keeping ones you want to focus on for the day. Throughout the day you can mark items as complete and check on what objectives remain.

I built Nodu to use myself (and to get my feet wet with SwiftUI). After reaching a V1, I decided to release it to the public.
I don't think the comma usage was wrong. The commas around "and in some cases" serve as both serializing the list and inserting the extra information that otherwise could've been removed from the sentence. However, it might have been better to use parenthesis to avoid the ambiguity.

The use of parallel verbs "disables", "prevents", and "hides" was a strong indicator to me that it was a list. I interpreted the "and also" at the end as a stylistic choice since the first two items follows the form "[verb] [ing-verb]" whereas the last item doesn't.
Two passes can be far more efficient if you take memory layout and pagefaults into account.

Same logic as to why you can assemble a set of identical pieces of IKEA furniture faster if you first do step 1 for all pieces, then step 2 for all pieces etc, than if you assemble the pieces one by one.
Except it appears the author is Italian, not Anglo-Saxon.
The libraries are not good. Support for the libraries in runtimes varies wildly and has drastic performance implications: unicode has variable width characters, so sometimes character array indexes are no longer O(1)!

Unicode is not a good system. Yes, we can struggle with it but it will always be a struggle because of the nature of its design.

A major omission is a way to indicate the encoding of a particular byte array. You open a file on disk and read its characters -- what encoding is it in? What encoding is used for the various buffers embedded in dozens of historic file formats for audio, video, archives, etc?

Developers are forced to guess and hack. The results are about as expected, given the quality of the underlying interfaces.
I also believe they could get all the gas they ever wanted by building a pipeline through Turkey to Turkmenistan. With this disaster of a war ongoing the Turkmen government might be willing to risk playing ball with Europe.
Aside from scaling issues inherent in Ruby, Ruby on Rails has got to be the most successful scaffolding framework in terms of high compatibility with a variety of project ideas.
> You might have dictated a situation where people now have to throw away a pile of perfectly usable cables/accessories and buy a bunch of new ones.

I mean, or Apple could do the one thing they've done absolutely tons of recently (so it wouldn't be a surprising or unheard of move from them) and sell a dongle for lightning -> USB-C?

Now you don't have to do any of what you just said would be a guarantee.

As a European, there might be a stagnation for few years as energy sources will be needed to be resolved first, otherwise relatively low wages are compromise for relatively high taxation and thus bearable public services, like working public transport or public hospitals.

Email: enilsen016[@]gmail[.]com

Product engineer mostly focusing with Erlang/Elixir and Rust. Built all kinds of different applications with different technologies and in different industries. Excited by working on large scale systems.

Way more information about what I have done on my linkedin.
So here's what I do when I buy a movie, either on Blu-ray or via iTunes. I download the remux from Usenet. If there isn't one (rarely), I wait for the Blu-ray to arrive and I rip it myself. There's a U.K. release of Wages of Fear that you cannot get in the U.S. any other way than purchasing the Blu-ray from BFI. (The U.S. Criterion Blu-ray release is missing 5 minutes of footage.)

Even for movies I rent or stream, I often download the remux to watch it, then delete it after watching. It's the only way to avoid bullshit like streaming apps (all of them except Criterion, no matter your settings), not letting me watch to the end of the credits in peace. Or subtitles which are shown below the frame for movies which are wider than 1.78:1. Or, let's say you want to watch RRR in its original language with English subtitles. Netflix only has the rights to the Hindi dub.

I want my money to go to the filmmakers and actors and production crew, but these fucking studios and streaming companies, man. Please, let me pay you to watch the movie in high quality and in peace. Why is it easier for me to pirate content? Like, it takes me 30 seconds to go to https://radarr.home.mydomain.org/, type in the name of the movie I want to watch, click search, click download, wait 5-10 minutes, and now it's there for me to watch.

Contrast that with going to Just Watch, maybe the movie is on a service I pay for, maybe it isn't. Maybe it's on Blu-ray, maybe only on DVD. Want to watch Happiness (1998)? Too bad, not available anywhere except maybe you can find a used DVD on Amazon for $50. How about The Heartbreak Kid (1972)? (Oh, hey, how do you like that, someone put up a copy of it on YouTube last year.) But time and again, movies just aren't available. I really don't understand why they get locked away. What's the incremental cost of taking a movie which has already been digitized for DVD or Blu-ray and making it available on a streaming service or for digital rental or purchase?

Come on Hollywood. Get your shit together.
The reason why the long-term property lease analogy is accurate is because in most jurisdictions copyrights lapse after a stipulated period. That is inspite of corporations like Disney that have used copyright law to their benefit to extend the lifetime of their IP.

Taking your point about "free computing", I wonder why we haven't had the equivalent of open source software and the success we have seen over the last few decades hasn't spawned open content movement where we could get great movies, music, books etc., Sure, there are pockets of availability that is an exception, but not the kind of mainstream success that we have seen with open source software.
This problem will never be solved if it hasn't by now. Downvoting as disagreement, or to punish unpopular ideas, is rampant. And downvoting is not just a way of EXPRESSING disagreement, it's a way to suppress those you disagree with by hiding their comments. And, as pointed out here and elsewhere in this submission, the vouching mechanism that WAS meant to solve it will be silently disabled for your account if you use it to offset too many posts which are TOO unpopular or disagreed-with.
NotTheBee is even scarier glimpse into their psyche:

https://notthebee.com/

Is that an official sister site?

Apparently so:

> Not the Bee is a humor-based news, opinion, and entertainment site from the creators of The Babylon Bee and Disrn. Like the name suggests, it'll feature some absurd and hilarious (but real) news that seems like it should definitely be satire.

Hmm, this actually explains a lot about their jokes:

> Yes ladies and gentlemen, abortion is now illegal in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, so Planned Parenthood is on the move, literally driving their RV along the Illinois border looking for babies to kill.

...

> These people will do anything to get their hands on a preborn child
There are always people fishing IRL :) I'd argue that you have better chances compared to an app since you are there in person compared to a digital profile. It's more memorable.

It always took practice to be good at this, but apps made a lot of people lazy so I'm not sure about trends.
But what's the semantic purpose of these operations? Linguistically these are very strange things to do to arbitrary text, and yet because in ASCII it was easy, programmers got into the habit of just doing it all over the place without thinking about what (if anything) it meant.

For transform operations like "toLower" often it turns out that to the extent it means anything it's only relevant to ASCII and so an operation which only transforms ASCII is appropriate anyway.
I think the true depth of content moved to be behind paywalls. I consider myself an advanced Frontend engineer and I find only Frontend Masters and specialized (and expensive) courses can really help me fill what gaps I do have or learn something with more depth.

I also read a lot more technical books than blogs too, but I’m finding even those harder to find that are relevant
I thought about doing this, but I was worried about codec compatibility issues with Dolby Vision and Atmos, and DTS:whatever. Everything I've read says you need to buy an Nvidia Shield to do it right. This is probably even closer to ideal than my setup, but in the end I decided it's not worth the effort/cost vs just putting the disc in the player.

They are referring to the original Apple Pencil which used a lightning port at the end.
Interesting that they decided to sprinkle some comedy into their brief. I guess that's on brand, hopefully it doesn't hurt them.
It is when you dehumanize and violently kill those who you think have the means of production or are otherwise opposed to you:

See Pol Pot and Chinese Cultural Revolution.
The result of the same sort of regulation in the UK is the opposite; they have excellent plugs and sockets. It doesn't seem that regulated standardization inherently stifles innovation, but you do run the risk of standardizing on the wrong thing.
so what? as long as there's no legaslation that "give data or leave" is explicitly prohibited it would happen with any social network service. everyone does that.

adguard is not epic games, nothing gonna happen.

and even more than that - cdns/antiddos gather more data that usually not directly available to social networks because clicks doesnt originate from tracked pages.
Show HN: Bare is a Google Reader for tweets that look like blog posts
I first submitted BARE here about a year ago. Since then, a lot of people signed up for our tiny side project. Enough to say that it is well past breaking even! We tried many ideas, and ultimately settled on the simple design and the RSS output by default. It is incredible how many people still use RSS nowadays. Thanks to all of you!

Below is the original Show HN post from last year:

BARE grew out of the idea to reduce one's Twitter timeline to bare tweets - blog-post-like writings devoid of media, links, hashtags, or any social interaction mechanics. Once you sign up with BARE, it will continuously check your Twitter timeline and only show you the long-form text-based tweets in it. Like a good old blog reader.
But why do that, you may ask? What's the point?

Because, we believe that this is one of the easiest ways to discover people's true personality, beneath the chatter and social media clickbait. It is also a naturally distraction-free method to keep oneself concentrated over the content without the urge to skim and keep scrolling down. One of the easiest ways to evoke concentration is to reduce the sources of distraction.

Is anybody actually writing such tweets? A lot of people. Check the tiny portion we follow here: https://bare.tw/ and discover the ones in your timeline by signing up.
it has the unique ability to snap off at the tip and block the port. ;-)

most annoying.
iPhone sales are 10x that of iPad and MacBooks combined.
Renewable energy doesn't supply the chemical feed stocks that we currently obtain from fossil fuels. Those are essential to industrialized society and there are no cost-effective substitutes.
I start each project with a README, and then slowly add stuff.

Very few of my projects existing templates closely enough that I feel like I could get away with using a scaffolding tool. When I first used create-react-app, I spent a half day ripping apart the results and adding the parts I liked to a new project, incrementally.

I feel like copying build scripts, configuration, and project structure from existing projects you have experience with is no worse than using a scaffolding tool. Copying isn't a bad thing.
Let’s just say, people call it OpenOCD. Of course this “obsession” has produced one of the worlds most secure OS’s.

Can someone tell me how YouTube is supposed to make money without ads and premium service? No one has been able to give me a straight answer.
That is incompatible with the practice of making it hard, or even impossible, to see comments which have been downvoted too much. I am guessing it also was not taking into account the type and volume of use/abuse that it sees today.
This is a good idea I believe.
While I agree it would be convenient to have it in the standard library of more languages, it can be implemented in strongly typed languages, using something like Newtype in haskell. In Typescript, for example, it could be:

type SanitizedString = string

And somewhere you have a function getSanitizedString and if you don't call that the type system will complain.

Same could be done to represent a distance in Km or miles:

type DistanceKm = number
type DistanceMiles = number

And then functions can explicitly use any of them or only some (we could define some function multiplying them to allow 2 arguments only if they are the same type).
"The government will force companies to make a product decision that I happen to like"

This is an extremely bad reason to support this legislation.

The government could legislate any number of product changes, they don't do that, because that's not their role.

Apple has always been a leader in these areas, and this kind of thing will definitely stifle from making the decisions they need to, in addition to the fact their are all sorts of unintended design consequences on these forced choices.

There are really only 2 kinds of charges floating around these days, and several mechanisms for handling both, it's not even a 1/10 on the problems we face.

This is really bad populism, the EU is running up the wrong tree here.

I don't sense any "hatred and vitriol" in that comment. At worst, I sense frustration - and in light of the million or so needless deaths from COVID in my country alone, that seems rather justified.

when governments ban imports / exports, its a matter of public scrutiny. So is protectionism.

But apparently we allow a private cartel to do the same thing to an enrire industry with no pushback.

This affects smart IoT devices, TVs, cars, etc. My xiaomi light does not pair with the app because its was meant for chinese market, and the guy that sold it to me claims its not hia problem either.

The only way out of this mess is a law to properly define digital ownership.

If you want a weired half renting half ownership, that should have to be explicit contract with a signature and maybe lawyers involved, so you know what you are signing up for.
I run a startup that heavily relies on ads, and I can tell you for sure that we spend and measure ROI in detail. We have metrics that tell us exactly how much we need to spend to convert a user into paying user, so that we can budget ourselves accordingly; I think most low/mid tier companies do this. Of course, when you look at real giants, its a different story as the ROI is harder to measure.
Another +1 for fly.io from me. I moved a 10 req/s API from Google Cloud Run to fly.io a couple weeks ago. It was a fast and easy transition. I'm now deployed at several edges reducing latency for far-away users, and it's cheaper than Google to boot.
Ahhh, my login shell is bash v3 (friggin' MacOS!) but my PATH has bash v5! On Bash v5 it works interactively! (probably v4+ too)

How many of those users have only an iPhone?

If the iPhone had an USB-C connector, I could pretty much carry a single cable and charger for my laptop, my tablet, and my phone. So unless there is zero overlap between iPhone users and users of anything else, the point is moot.

Even worse, Apple stopped bundling a charger with their phones over three years ago. Instead, they ship a Lightning to USB-C cable, but they bundle an USB-C charger only for a year after the release of the iPhone X, effectively forcing their customers to buy USB-C hardware anyway.
HN / libertarians: Laws are for fools.

Yes, we can include postgis. I'm currently investigating how to include other PostgreSQL extensions as well. A fair number of standard extensions are already included, but there are more we need for a full Supabase implementation.
Naive indeed; on the surface it sounds utopian. But who decides what a crime is? That's where it quickly flips over into becoming a dystopia. I mean, for example homosexuality is still a crime punishable by death in a lot of places; if you cannot hide that, then a lot of people would be picked up.

Your last point is exactly poignant; it'll be lawmakers who end up above the law, above the control. Which makes it more like 1984 than a "borg" utopia.
