> Also depends on where you live, but I live in Europe and here you see people having hobbies and doing random stuff everywhere you go, people just drinking a coffee and staring at the sky.

Essentially this. I'm a software engineer in the U.S. And here are some of the places & situations I've been in where I've come across other software engineers (as discovered through simply chatting up random strangers)

- At anime conventions

- At a martial arts school

- At an art showing in a Middle Eastern-themed cafe

- At in-the-park social events

- At wine-and-cheese tastings

You find people where they spend their time. If you're visiting websites that cater to try-hard indie hustlers, you'll be surrounded there by try-hard indie hustlers.

On the flip side, if you're going out and _doing_ actual hobbies, you'll be surrounded by people who go out and do actual hobbies. Some of them might even share your same career choices.
Refusing to do assigned tasks despite knowing it will be a factor in your final assessment score is probably something valuable to measure as a factor in predicting your future success at tasks. I had some college courses where the homework was optional, but this is not that, this is courses where the homework is required, but not completed.
The settings app is not the problem, it's a symptom of the problem. This current design/engineering culture at Apple that seems to either ignore or not be aware of design guidelines and best practices. The perception of many, myself included, that it's just downhill from here. I managed to find a way to not hate desktop Linux (minimal tiling window managers), so I jumped to that boat.
Looking at this image [1] it is crazy what apple forbids. This is really anti competitive and hope EU bans this behavior.

How am I supposed to match two entirely different words? Atomic groups with | don't seem to work. Not something I'd use regex for anyway. What am I missing here?
One upside of everyone's name, date of birth, address and personal ID number being public knowledge in Sweden is that organisations don't treat knowing any of those as proof of your identity. It's absurd how that's not the case in other places.

If that’s a bot, the owner is running GPT with prompts so specific they might as well submit them as comments.
That's the tow line here. Really everyone I know who turned a hobby or a side hustle into a job now hates it or nearly bankrupted themselves.

I hate what I do but the money is excellent. I have a hobby and side hussle which is not related. It's a match made in heaven. Ying and yang in perfect harmony. Never the two shall mix.
Unexpected move from such an evil company like Oracle
You are right but there's a thing where if one has to worry about the affordability of healthcare one avoids seeing medical expertise at all for fear of crushing cost or debt. That probably isn't put into the normal economic measures though may be reflected in maternal outcomes or lifespan trends per income. A long wait as some complain about in Canada or the UK national healthcare seems like a luxury to many in the USA.
Thanks, I've been looking at WASM, for ex https://github.com/snaplet/postgres-wasm/tree/main/packages/... , it would certainly simplify everything to "download a fat file".

My only feedback is that this is unrealistic because today developers wouldn’t try to debug something, they’d just destroy the instance, push a commit and hope it fixed something infra related then recreate it.

Why would you need to understand how something works? Just use containers. /s

I used to read the Harry Potter series to my kids at night and definitely experienced this. The kids would ask a question and I'd realize that I needed to re-read the part I just read aloud because I was thinking about something else and couldn't remember what I had just read.
I'm sorry are you saying 4.09% is a good rate? Anything 2% or lower is a good rate, my house was 4% back in 2019.
> At 12% (my personal guess at where rates will peak in about 18 months before quickly returning to around 7% for several years after that) it will finance $195,000.

Would you share some of the thought process for how you arrived at that guess? This is not at all my area and while I can understand how someone might guess "rates will continue to rise for at least a while longer" I don't really have an understanding of how / with what information someone would arrive at such a specific, multi-stage prediction (i.e. you picked a peak, when it will be reached, and what will happen after).
It seems I can't run F22 ADF. It was an interesring game given the time it was released. However, F22 TAW basically covers it.
Not my experience in northern NH. It snows, then the panels are covered for maybe a day, then it all slides off like an avalanche. It’s like having a metal roof.

I’m not sure how a wind turbine would fair with winter weather. I would think they could be subject to icing like any other propeller—-reducing their output and possibly creating mechanical damage. Aviation has certainly thought about that problem a lot, so there might be solutions.
In terms of actions I'd agree that the line between conscious volition and instinctual seems pretty blurry. But in terms of experience it seems like there's a pretty sharp line between conscious experiences and subliminal ones with stimuli just below a threshold acting very differently from stimuli crossing it.

As an example, people with Blindsight lose the ability to consciously access what they see but they don't lose the ability to see. They can still reach out and grab something in front of them but they can't tell you verbally it's there. And if they close their eyes they can't remember where it was and grab it based on that like most people can, information that doesn't reach the level of consciousness fades from the brain almost immediately but information that enters your consciousness can persist over time.

Qdrant v0.11: fully scalable vector search engine
A new release of Qdrant vector search engine went live!
Version 0.11 brings the replication, making Qdrant fully scalable! There is a new administration API and exact search support, but also some more improvements.
0.11 is backwards compatible with 0.10.5 storage in single-node deployment!

It is recommended that when you buy a house you buy it long term 5+ years.

It is recommended that when you purchase index funds as investment you buy and hold long term 5+ years.

The reason for this is because prices will fluctuate SHORT term, but generally are very stable long term and provide a return on investment.

If we take a look at the current situation, even if someone becomes underwater on their house, they can still have lower payments due to really low interest rates, a 4% rate hike is HUGE.

"The problem with this line of thinking is to keep a brave face when the house is underwater, meaning that the house can not be sold without going into debt to pay it off.

As "homeowners" approach that point, panic starts to take hold. Nobody wants to be trapped in a house they can't sell for risk of destroying their credit. So those brave statements about hodling a house should be viewed in the cold hard light of a multi-year price decline."

This is extremely flawed thinking and equivalent to "investors" who buy high and sell low. Real estate IS A LONG TERM investment, not day trading.
I wonder, how hard it would be to write something like xv6:

But in Lisp/Scheme?
Preferrably no C. Just Lisp/Scheme and assembly.
I don’t think I agree with you. I don’t know of a lender offering 0% down loans for people in those markets (the only thing I could find was VA loans or USDA), but could be wrong.

For a large portion of people, monthly cost is not the big problem. A 20% down payment on an median home price of $850k (Seattle), $1M (LA), $1.3M (SF) (all these taken from google’s results) is because it’s very hard to save that much money when you’re paying median rent of $2.7k (Seattle), $3.3k (LA), or $4k (SF) (Zumper, 2bd apartment).

All else equal, I think a lot of people when trying to buy for the first time would prefer lower house purchase price with higher interest rate because of saving for a down payment vs the same house at a higher price and lower interest rate.
> It does not handle repositories, data fetching, caching and combining, it does not handle a SQLite database.

right, but you can use that to autogenerate all those things (have done it before) with a few additional tools (code templates) and have it all (repositories, fetching, caching etc) automated (there is a limit of course, combining might be a bit hard in that case)

this is really useful though because now you can deploy to more platforms in their native languages using idiomatic code, and switching to newer techniques, e.g async/await can be done instantly just by updating the source template which any team can download and compile themselves

> Which dependencies ? If you already have Android devs, on the iOS side it adds a single swift package, and similarly so on Android.

for ios, its including basically the whole kotlin runtime and additional support (kotlinx-datetime, etc) in that single package (xcframework), then add a lot of data classes and things start to add up... for us its one of the biggest single dependencies on our ios app
If demand is low then why do 14tb drives still cost more than they did four years ago?
> locked in <3.5% are not planning on selling in the next 10 years or more

Not just that but looking further out at retirement, downsizing and staying in the same area is not looking possible. The house might be worth $X on paper at that point but if you sell you are then thrust into a market where everything is much higher. Its financially more palatable to just stay put even if you don't need the space. I imagine people within a couple years of this decision are staying put right now and this will keep demand up regardless of rates.
That’s the positive angle. But I think you could argue that the real reason is that we never had any popular uprising against absolute monarchy. So the Nordic countries are stuck in a pre-Magna Carta (or French revolution or American revolution) culture.
If a company has that little respect for my time to make me jump through all of these bureaucratic hoops, seemingly to prove I can tolerate mindless nonsense, I don't want to work for them.

Yup, all my data is on linkedin, then I click apply, and I get taken to a whole other website? And no way to fill in from linkedin?

And for what? Why? Is 'Apply with linkedin" that bad?!

> Some folks really enjoy food, though. They might spend a lot of time learning new recipes, spend 12 hours smoking a piece of meat, make things from scratch, make more than they could ever eat (and give away to friends)... seek out new restaurants, hell, even travel for the cuisine. Ditto entertainment-- movie buffs and the like.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I wasn't referring to those people, but I can understand how it would have come off that way.

What I'm saying is that if one doesn't engage with an experience, it's really hard to call said thing a hobby. Binge watching shows, for instance, is only participatory in that the person pays an entrance fee and that they keep their eyes pointed at the screen. Same for eating; eating lots of good food doesn't equate to being a hobby but is more of a mere activity or an interest. But learning recipes, learning to smoke meat, etc., now we're talking about engaging in an activity rather than passively accepting sensory stimuli.

> You might also disqualify hobbies you don't consider a hobby. If I go for a run every saturday morning, is running a hobby? Or am I just a fitness freak? I think sometimes what folks do 'for fun' is either dismissed, or considered something you kind of have to do / should do anyway.

It's also in the eye of the beholder. I can't really tell an individual what is or isn't their hobby. Sensibly, not everything a human being does can be a hobby, and I think engaging in an activity with some kind of feedback loop is a sign of a hobby. Investing in that activity is also a sign of a hobby. Running can certainly be a hobby IMO because it takes an investment of time and effort, and people who run or perform exercise are usually paying at least some attention to their performance. Running merely because one thinks they have to run, on the other hand, doesn't seem like much of a hobby, but a change in mindset could instantaneously change said running from a chore to a hobby.
Usually that "it's an eyesore" or some other BS. That's the entire reason the Tesla solar roof has a market share, is that it "looks like" a normal roof without giant boxes on top of a house.

again, I think the whole notion is silly and counterproductive, just reporting on reality.
The fuel pump is electric, as is the payment mechanism in the station, the transactions between the station and the suppliers of refined fuel, significant parts of the refinery itself, and the international banking system if any of that fuel is from a different country to the one you live in, and automated monitoring of long distance fuel pipelines, and at least some of the equipment used to get the fuel out of the ground, and some of the equipment used to make that equipment.
I had a Dell M4800 with external 9cell slice battery. They claimed that a broken docking connector (pins folding on themselves) isn't covered by warranty because everyone knows that batteries are consumables only the cells still held >90% of the original capacity and weren't what needed replacement. Docking connectors sure shouldn't be consumables on a 4k€ laptop.
It's like `make make make make`. But it is nice that in CL you don't have to jump through hoops on common words that happen to be function or package names. You have a list and no meaningful name? Call it `list`:

(defun some-algo (list ...) ...)

Sure you can abuse this, everything can be abused. But I'd rather risk an asshole doing that `let` thing (which wouldn't make it past code review) than have more name collisions and naming contortions to avoid them. If the language at least warned on renaming it would be helpful, but then you get things like Go. When I was learning it I accidentally overwrote some built-in function (I don't recall which one, it wasn't actually `make` like in this demo):

package main
func main () {
make := 10
aMap := make(map[int]string) // this is now an error
}

I wish I could remember what it was, it was a reasonable name in context (unlike `make` above). But it had a similar effect and a similar strange error. The error is at the function call site, which is technically correct because you're trying to use an `int` (here) as a function. But `make` (above) and similar functions should probably get a warning emitted when you redefine them, at a minimum.
PrintShop. I had it for the Apple II and had tons of fun making signs and banners to hang around the house.

Technically you can still run it in an emulator, but without a dot matrix printer, it wouldn't be the same.
Reading HN is my hobby!
Gnome Do.

It had fuzzy file and application search, but where it really stood out was the application plugin system. Wanted to send a quick message to a coworker? Summon Gnome do with a shortcut, type message a space and then fuzzy complete on the coworkers name. Then just type the message right there and get back to what you were doing.

It was kinda like Alfred, but just much more powerful. It got destroyed during the transition to Unity, and was never made to work again, and now that all the apps are webapps there aren't any halfway decent plugins so it wouldn't matter much.
The best though! Not just any!

And I for one trust that this is an entirely accurate assessment, on the basis of this article he just paid for.

Mm-hm.

Incidentally, I just wrote "the best" file downloader that you should totally buy, which is totally not just a zenity call on top of wget.

It says so, right here in this article I'm about to pay for.
I had one of these with an extra battery

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apc-back-ups-pro-1000va-battery...

back in the day I had slow ADSL (2 Mbit/sec) from the phone company central office so my DSL would stay up when the power went out. That system could keep my DSL modem and cordless phone up and running for about two days or so, so with laptops and tablets I'd have 21st century comms for a weekend when the power goes out.

They upgraded my DSL to ADSL2 served from a fiber node a mile or so from my house, now I get highly reliable and consistent 20 Mbit/sec, except when the power goes out in which case the node goes down. I donated the UPS to my local reuse center because there wasn't much point in it.

I have a small tower computer I use as a server and thought about plugging it into the UPS but decided it wasn't worth the trouble because the runtime wouldn't be good. It would probably be better than 5 minutes, but it's not "run through a power outage", it is, "have a short period of terror in which to save your documents". Keeping the DSL up was "life-changing" though because it meant I could still keep in touch with the people at work.
Basically RE prices went through the roof and became an object of investment that gained in value during a time when money was cheap and cash was a bad place to store it.

This caused management funds, BlackRock Berkshire etc, to start purchasing the homes as investment vehicles. These vehicles then will either sit on a house or simply rent the house out at a rate that makes fiscal sense, regardless of the economic realities.

This artificially restricts supply as they take these houses off the market, they don't care if the house sits empty for years as long as they can sell it at their target price, and then at the same time causes rents to be raised as the rental prices are set by an internal ROI formula and not what the local market can bear.
Lots of companies doing this for awhile. I'm not sure about the rates, but you can find them by googling "best ptp loans for investors" or something like that. https://www.prosper.com/ is one, for example.
In my understanding, the justification commonly given is that the disruption to the unified neighborhood aesthetics is bad for resale value - resale being the justification HOAs use to block anything they don’t like.
Do tell me the exploits and vulnerabilities that got released daily for Windows (mind you, for the OS itself, not for a poorly configured system or user stupidity) in the past month. I am curious of those "daily" exploits and vulnerabilities.
We need 4DWW - Four Day Work Week to give us our time back!

I have hobbies and enjoy them, but it's hard to find time around a full-time job, life obligations, and hedonism. Having 1 extra day per week would do wonders for my life-work balance, mental health, social relationships, ability to learn new things, etc.

Let's fight for 4DWW together!
> I’m saying that the test isn’t indicative of “aptitude”.

Maybe it isn't, maybe you're correct, but the practical effect of ignoring tests is to penalise good parenting, instead of helping those kids with aptitude but no opportunity.

We need a really good reason for why kids that worked hard at the tests and demonstrated that they were willing to study (whether payed for and/or pushed for it by the parents) should be rejected in favour of those who never demonstrated this.
Another example is farmers in Belarus during WWII. Often the whole villages together with tools and machinery if it was any were burned down due to heavy fighting. People survived by living in dugouts and planting potato’s by hands.

Potato in especially suitable in such situations. It brings more calories per area than even rice while one still can harvest it using basic sticks. While it cannot be stored for years after the harvest as wheat, it still can last for couple of years.
I haven't fully grokked this yet, but one trick I've used in the past to get around limits is AWS Organizations, creating a sub-account per property. A bit more setup but can keep things cleaner administratively.
Yeah, I believe ~all of the ones with greater space efficiency than cuckoo filters (or blocked bloom, depending on the false positive rate) don't have incremental insert.
