Congrats rnavi and team on making it to HN front page again! I've continued to follow and enjoyed using it. I'd recommend to try it for Airtable-esque usecases (or independent of it too).

For those who are hearing about Nocodb here for the first time, it was listed in 'Show HN' about an year ago [1][2]. It had 2M+ docker downloads in 16 weeks when it showed up in HN and ProductHunt. And, a user/customer found Nocodb in HN and wrote an angel check [3].

The project has 30K Github and is one of the fastest growing open source projects in the world. All of the code + integration plugins like storage (S3,Google cloud storage, Minio, DO spaces), Email (SES,SMTP) and chat (Twilio,slack,Teams) are all open source too [4][5]

That creates a remarkable set of perverse incentives akin to what's seen in Australia, where restoring old houses properly is so expensive that they tend to be left to rot and/or mysteriously catch fire instead. Is the issue widely known?
NOt mine! I live in the country, but the county gas pipeline crosses our property. The easement (written 50 years ago) permits us to connect as a customer.

So all our appliances are gas.
You just said it though - only successful and established DEALERs can afford. The problem you are describing is a problem of a drug dealer. A drug dealer with a gun is a criminal that ought to catch a charge. That's exactly my point.
It's 6% of residential use.

Residential use is 39% of all electrical generation.

So driers are 2.3%.

That number doesn't surprise me in the least. Residential electrical consumption is trivial if you don't include heating. So having an appliance use 5% of all home electricity seems pretty low?

Used to be, nowadays not quite. Still almost fully predictable.

oh I'm sorry... if a man gaslights and tells his wife she doesn't look fat in that outfit...
Yeah slavery is definitely the best word choice here. And it’s actually enforced slavery, you say? Even worse!
why do people still use axios?
"Shell out for Hikvision"?
Hikvision has generally been low cost equipment with decent performance.
The main issue with Hikvision is that they are funded and controlled by the Chinese government, and have had countless major vulnerabilities over the years.

Then there is Dahua, which is basically Hikvision Junior. Reolink is somewhat in the middle, in the past they have OEM'd products from Dahua, and others. It can be difficult to know who actually manufactures a lot of the Chinese surveillance cameras, as the companies often go to great lengths to obscure the details.
I would hope that it is, but is a more useful model based on reality rather than fabricated delusion.
It's not strange here, even if uncommon and I could not care less what people do in front of their houses. Utility over aesthetics. (also whose aesthetics?)
I’m grateful to not be your neighbor.
Not starting a successful business.

I recently got into a mindset where I thought I may die. I was alone and had sudden chest pain. Anyway, my mind wandered to this question and I fixated on the fact that I’ve dreamed about it my entire life and yet I haven’t made it happen.

I did walk away from that feeling pretty good. After all, I had no immediate regrets about the important things like family and friends.
Forced air and radiators dry the air equally. Steam radiators sometimes can add humidity to the air it is limited and only when they are initially heating up before the valve closes. What causes dry air in the winter is the act of heating air up. Relative humidity is based on the temperature of the air, so if there is a fixed amount of water in the air, as you heat it the relative humidity goes down. So in the winter cold air slowly comes into the house via air leakage. This air is heated up which drops its relative humidity down. I have lived in houses with baseboard heat and with forced air, and recently converted my house from baseboard heat to forced air. There is no real difference in the relative humidity in the house.
An algorithm for "matrix multiplication" that assumes infinite precision arithmetic is used is essentially useless (there are some niche uses for matrices with entries in finite fields/rings). An algorithm for matrix multiplication usually comes with more than that, in particular some sort of error bound. Note that these bounds are mathematical, part of the abstract algorithm, and not something that is a property of any particular implementation (your last paragraph suggests you might be confused by this). You want a statement that says if A' is close to A (in some relevant distance measure), and B' is close to B, then your algorithm gives something close to AB.

The correctness you have to prove includes proving that your error bounds are what you say they are.
I don’t believe in the concept of “victimless crimes.” Society should enforce moral standards and help people make good decisions. Why do you need marijuana? It doesn’t seem necessary to me. Maybe for legitimate medical uses.

Edit: To respond to the dead comment below, I think banning alcohol would probably be a good thing. Alcohol exacts a terrible toll on women and children. It’s no surprise, then, that the first thing American women did with the right to vote was ban alcohol. Alcohol is banned in my home country, and many others.

That said, I’m afraid it’s too deeply embedded in western culture to make banning alcohol a realistic possibility. But just because that’s true, how does that justify legalizing and normalizing the new vice of drug use?
If you're doing programming exercises you can brute force or guess a solution but there's a cultural bias against doing that, because what you're trying to learn is how to be smart about the problem, otherwise the exercise is pointless.

What exactly counts as “being smart about the problem” is culturally determined. In my view, taking ten times as long to solve the problem using pure deduction (because you’re struggling to hold all of the possibilities in your head simultaneously) is being less smart about the problem than making an informed guess and then quickly and mechanically checking whether you were correct.

A puzzle that heavily benefits from guesswork is just a bad puzzle.

That puts an upper limit on the difficulty rating of puzzles which is in some sense limited by the imagination of solvers.
It must be a property owner prerogative to decide whether or not hang laundry to dry outside their houses.

That said, I also feel like that's a poor choice considering you can now get a A+++ heat pump dryer that's very economical and works quite fast (slightly more time than with a convention dryer, but your clothes will last much longer) anytime (as long as it's not stuck in a icy cold basement) regardless the weather.

Another mistake some people make is using an all-in-one washer/dryer: they are the worst option ever. Terrible at everything by design.
Streaming video is fairly power intensive, the typical battery powered camera could not sustain more than a few hours of streaming without resorting to a prohibitively large battery pack.
Yeah there are definitely scenarios where its some real bullshit, I agree. And it's fucked up that a persons decision to smoke weed essentially removes their second amendment rights. But its still a decision that you can make, you know. It's not like you HAVE to have a gun.
(idk the specifics of the FPSrussia case so won't comment on that)
Ask HN: Why RISC-V over other “open” ISA's?
Why was RISC-V developed over other ISA's like SPARC and POWER? I think some of them opened up after the RISC-V had been developed. However work has/is continued on RISC-V, and I just wanted to know if someone could explain motives. Since there's already a lot of value and time saved in those other architectures. I'm just a operations guy with a passion for Linux and open systems, I don't have an angle or anything with this question. Thank you for your time and I hope this helps others.
I have spent far more time programming than I have in management, roughly 25 years in near full time versus 18 years part time. I now have the confidence to refactor people/departments the way I do functional programming. I am not sure how close to 10000 hours either of those skills are.

If I had the freedom to start over right now (also 43) I would get into experimental horticulture. I think there are a lot of missed opportunities to improve macronutrient quality and water resource management with lower pesticide requirements for commercial agricultural in developing economies that wealthier economies frequently ignore.
I dunno about that - I live in Norway. Most folks dry their clothes inside for most of the year. They take a little longer to dry in the winter, but it really isn't an issue.
>>The court doesn’t dispute that people can use a regular browser to download audio and video files from YouTube. However, that requires them to go into the browser’s developer tools and manually modify a signature value.

Anyone have the details on that?
Indeed, for example, it's the anti-circumvention provision that allows John Deere to prevent farmers from repairing their own tractors.
Don't use NordVPN

I've had a similar experience. It's hard sometimes for me to reflect on all the wasted time, but what's gone is gone. I do my best to try not to ruin today thinking about yesterday.

Just keep putting yourself out there, focusing on what you do have, and taking it day by day friend.

GPU prices are so insane because shareholders must make money, because NVDA miscalculated the crypto demand and doesn't want to hold the bags again (cf gtx 1060), and because NVDA artificially limited the supply of [rtx 30xx] cards.
> Can you really build a social network on volunteers that invest their own money and time, with little reward?

You can at least use it for existing communities and "social networks": family, friends, geographical communities, hobby- or work-related ones. To provide them a somewhat self-administered space online to connect and share photos and other info.
Thanks to federation this community can have its own "space" without being isolated from the rest of the internet. Open-ness can be somewhat gradual.

There's lots of different of ways to organize funding and the ongoing technical work for such communities.

I think it becomes harder to build sustainable instances the less socially connected the admins are to the average user.
Yes, so apparently our societies necessitate a level of trust demonstrated by the prevalence of centralised exchanges:

Technology is difficult, and we outsource the management massively.

I once found a locked iPhone and tried to give it back to the owner by asking Siri to dial random sound bits (I didn't know about "ICE"). The first two people in the person's phone books were super sketchy people who claimed it was their phone, and when I asked what number they were calling from, started walking sideways in the conversation. Social recovery wallets are great if you have trustworthy friends. ;-)
::-D
If you don't trust anyone with your data, just host it yourself.
Read through the thread. Look how many stories there are of people losing years and years to something that they now regret. The realization is that this is the norm, not the exception. We're all just fragile and fallible and trying to make our way through life as best we can, and we all end up messing up big somewhere along the way.

It's easy to look back on 10 wasted years and think you failed, you blew your one chance at life. But if you come to realize that looking back on 10 wasted years is actually a common human struggle, it can help you reframe your regret as just another one of the trials of being a limited, mortal human and not take it so personally as your own failing.
Bad choice nonetheless. Get a heat pump dryer and you'll save a lot and your clothes will last longer.
Drying without a dryer sucks big time. They call appliances "modern conveniences" for a reason.

Sure, if you're a hip cool 20-something who does a load of laundry per week air-drying is fine.

Try being a household with a couple kids and a baby under 2 and hanging your laundry everyday. It's a waste of time and frankly sucks. I've done it.
Amazon Abandons Home Delivery Robot Tests in Latest Cost Cuts
I think our definition of profits are different. You’re referring to financial profits, ie earnings. Yes loyalty programs increase customer captivity and can enable market leaders to make marginal financial profits through some periods.

However, for investors, we care about profits from capital deployment, or returns from invested capital minus cost of capital. The marginal earnings that leading airlines generate from loyalty programs and business traveler accounts do not make up for the huge demand for capital, thus insufficient to break even the cost of capital.
In some lower class places or college town neighborhoods I’m sure people wouldn’t care but in most middle and upper middle class places, people take pride in their homes and communities and something like that would be considered outrageous.
One thing that’s missing is discussion of specific disc drives. Even in the early 2000s, some were known to be picky and some were flawless.

It could be a case of using the original drive to read the media, versus some cost-cut version that’s on the market these days.
Exactly why I live in the country. No neighbors, who almost by definition exist to constrain my life. By making up laughable things like "hurts everyone's eyes to have to see a car parked on the front lawn".

Seat61 – Train Travel in Europe
I come from the Bible belt, and was religious as a teenager before life circumstances led me to quickly and dramatically turn away from faith. When that curtain was pulled, suddenly many of the adults in my life seemed misguided at best, and downright evil at worst.

But college gave me a different view on this. I went to a small university, where some professors made a real effort to mentor students - not only to make them better academics, but better people too. These professors were people I really looked up to.

I think they empathized more with students, recognizing that while they did have advice to give, context matters - some may be relevant nowadays, some may not. They also were quite analytical; they'd only truly believe some advice they gave if they'd spent lots of time critiquing, testing, and thinking about it.

I guess I mention all this to say: respect for someone's advice must be earned. It sounds like your family did not earn this, so IMO you have the right idea.
I beg for anyone, any presidential candidate, to say they will overturn Section 1201 of the DMCA for the unconstitutional baloney it is. Still waiting…
1) The first bit of advice is to recognize that you, like almost everyone else who discusses "the 10,000 hour rule" (and what it means regarding "practice" and "mastery") have completely failed to understand what the actual author meant, so you do yourself and everyone else a favor by dropping the subject.

2) The second bit of advice is to examine this "reality" thing. You can, obviously, switch careers anytime you want. Only you can define what "success" in that career will mean for you, what investments will be required in order to achieve it, whether you will enjoy the process, whether you are asking the impossible of reality (a very short, sedentary, middle aged person just isn't going to switch into the "Professional NBA Superstar" career), and so on.

3) Your life expectancy is, what, roughly 80 years now? You've spent maybe 20 or so on your current career. You've got twice that remaining, theoretically, and you're concerned about time having run out already?

All this is a roundabout way of saying your own attitudes toward all of this are the main, though not the only, challenge you'll need to address provided you are not asking to violate physiology/etc.

Get a heat pump dryer and you'll have the convenience and it'll probably cost only 30% of what it used to cost you.
If it's any consolation, while they may not be worthless, they're still useless.
There are many forms of "ranked" and there absolutely is consensus that the form that constantly gets pushed in the US is no good. It is marketed with lies and doesn't live up to any of its promises, as we just saw in Alaska. It didn't prevent the spoiler effect, it didn't make it safe for voters to rank candidates honestly, and it didn't choose the candidate preferred by the majority. Pretty much any other proposal is better.

I genuinely don't understand why people are so hardheadedly loyal to this one centuries-old poorly-designed voting system. Just because it's the first one they heard of? I don't get it.
Author here! Some very smart contributors have helped decode another layer of the Baichuan protocol - I actually missed the "media wrapper" because it happened to work without removing those headers from the video stream - as well as the UDP protocol variant, so it is technically possible to stream from battery cams. It does drain the battery unless they're externally powered.
What do you mean 3-4 hours per load? That seems wildly outside my experience.

Hikvision is cheap, as well as Dahua. Ubiquiti cameras are also cheap but terrible quality.
A couple. Just in the software space:

-When I was single, a dating app that uses a gene sample like 23andme produces plus deep learning to predict pairs that will find one another attractive.

-Another gene+AI startup, something that analyzes my DNA and suggests a healthy eating plan tailored to me.

-Something like the above two, but taking the state of the immune system into account (not sure how hard this would be to implement, but I know it makes a huge difference to the pheromones we like and the food we should avoid)

-something like Adnauseum (bots that click ads for you) but positive reinforcement so I can tell an ad I like what it showed me. I keep thinking that if advertisers knew my long-term goals they'd have a relatively more easy time selling me things, the only downside being they'd not be the things their customers would pay the most to move.

-Something like Airmule (sell your empty checked-bags space to the highest bidder) but not limited to the Shenzen-LA corridor.
43 years old is only as limiting as you believe it to be. There are plenty of people who are experiencing the most fruitful, expansive, creative time of their lives at that age, and they're not "special" in some way you aren't.

If you tell yourself you're too old to make a change or learn new things, you'll find it harder to make a change and learn new things.

If you tell yourself you're going to meet challenges, as everybody does, but you're better equipped to solve them now than you ever have been, you'll be able to handle whatever comes your way.

I'm not always a "mindset is everything" person, but when it comes to believing you can or can't do something really important to you that's well within the scope of what ordinary people do all the time (i.e., you're unlikely to be able to pivot to an elite athletics role), believing you can do it too makes a big difference.
I can’t imagine such a freedom limiting law in any European country or here in the UK. Utterly absurd a country that prioritises freedom so much also dictates how people are allowed to dry their laundry. I’m sure if the wind could be taxed they’d not restrict it though…
I bought the RX100m3 from Sony for this reason with the birth of our first child. It worked amazingly and was exactly what I was looking for in what I was buying. Shooting RAW was nice, and all the Sony tech from the larger bodies makes it way down into the RX100 line. They are not cheap though.

You baseline that stuff and then add additional boxes you can check. California does it as additional “gifts” but the federal return does it already for the presidential slush fund. You could increase that more - add a 1% tax but you get to check a box and determine where it goes.

Mathematically it wouldn’t do much but it would make people feel more invested I suspect.

There are so many follow up books about the subject, you could read one of them and learn more. Anders Ericsson, the source of the rule, has a popular science book called "Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise" but also "Talent is Overrated" is a great book on the subject.

The problem though is all these books are about well understood domains with a pedagogical framework you can grind thru. There is nobody saying this works in a field like 'entrepreneurship'.

All the evidence is in things like chess or playing the violin where the path is well worn and a coach or mentor can keep you on the right path.

In those fields, yes, deliberate practise works.
