The catalytic converters reduce unburned hydrocarbons and reduce oxides of nitrogen. No amount of 'tuning' will every achieve that. So your statement on reducing emissions by removing the catalyst is provably false.

People under 60 have no idea how crappy the air quality was in the late 1960 through 1980. And it really didn't improve much until the mid 1990s, when most if the old cars finally aged out and left the road.

It also turns into a game of whack-a-mole. You ban the boards and they just immediately come back under a different name.
Appreciate your feedback! I can totally see how you would read it that way. Maybe "servers should be farmed, not gardened" would be less ambiguous. Server farms have been a thing for a long time after all.
I did once in my last job, because we were told AWS was sunning down SimpleDB. We were able to swap to DynamoDB with relatively little fuss (though obviously not none, no migration is entirely painless) because we abstracted it so well. Turns out that several years later, SimpleDB is still up and running, but it was probably a good migration anyway.

Probably a bigger benefit though, is being able to use a different DB in production (probably big scale) vs on your personal machine while developing.

I'd make users pay before posting. A small amount, just pennies. But you'd have to click on the payment before any post. No ads, no data collection, none of that. Just the fees. A lot of noise just wouldn't get posted.

Problem being, 'collaborative environment' is aggressively pushed almost everywhere, even areas where the benefit of being 'highly collaborative' is questionable at best. At that point, they are asking introverts to put in more to compensate than extroverts, for something which cannot be confirmed to be an improvement.

If anything, most places suffer from being too collaborative at the cost of everything else. 'Silence is golden' seems to have been forgotten.
> The most reasonable solution seems to me to be that nohup is instead adapted to do the semantically correct thing and tell systemd in the modern way that it should run the nohup command in a detached session.

That was proposed to nohup when systemd introduced the modification. It’s what nohup does on macOS.

A very productive discussion was happening but then the anti-systemd mob showed up with pitchforks, brigaded the discussion on the bug tracker and made sure nothing good would come out of it.

That’s when I personally decided Linux was a lost cause and definitely switched to macOS.
Lol so what happens if I run 'curl' in my PS6 script? Asking for a friend with PTSD.
>> If you have a right to smoke pot

Well, if you have that right into law then I don't understand why you think you risk going to jail.

As far as I am concerned I believe people should be allowed to take any drug they want and even commit assisted suicide for any reason they want (as long as they are sane). After all we own our body and the gov should only protect us from abuse from others(i.e misleading advertising like they did with the tabacco).

That being said I believe in indefinite time until rehabilitation. If the law is wrong we should work to fix it instead to bend it at the expense of so many especially for crimes that lead to violent/tragic outcomes.

I also think people should own the effects of their choices. Buying from criminal or terrorist organisations does lead to tragic situations for many people regardless of the product you buy. Being ignorant shouldn't absolve you of guilt.

Yeah that's totally it. It couldn't be that people like to have a phone that gets security updates for more than 2 years. Or having an AppStore that is policed in any meaningful way that keeps blatant spam and data-slurping apps out. Or any other numerous things that the Android ecosystem is totally fucked up on.

I love Apple haters- They rarely ever make sense and just come off as bitter.
Thank I will look into it.

Tell HN: The issues of Twitter are not a technical problem to solve
I am seeing so many posts here about Twitter and it's possible alternatives. People are going on and on about

- What could be the next big thing

- What they want from new platform

- What tech stack they would use and so on

It's like there's fire in the house and all of us are discussing how to improve fire extinguisher design. The issues of Twitter are not a technical problem to solve. No amount of algorithms can improve human behavior on any platform. It's good that we at least see the issues that have surfaced because of Twitter and other platforms. We now know people

- can have extremely polarized views

- feel the need to defend their polarized but flawed viewpoint at any cost

- are virtue signaling others but refuse to take any accountability whatsoever

- have less and less attention span

- only consume the content that aligns with their views

I can list another dozen issues but you get the point. Instead of trying to fix Twitter we need to look into why these things are happening. It does not seem like a technical problem that the HN crowd wants to solve. It's more of a personal, interpersonal and a social problem which needs extensive research, surveys to find the "why" and how we might be able to fix it or avoid it from happening again.
It's not about manipulation. It's that if you die in football, you die in real life. If you do stupid stuff, players can get hurt. Whereas in video games, all that can really happen is a win or a loss. A bizarre play where someone gets hurt is funny in a simulation, and tragic in meatspace.

This is part of why the NASCAR move is so interesting. The driver himself notes that he was putting himself in real actual danger of crashing his car and possibly hurting himself, but he was willing to take that risk.

I would not be surprised to see this outlawed in the very near future before someone can cause a major crash trying it.
I'm pretty sure it used to return true if the user had Goat Simulator installed. Never played the game but I'm assuming there's something to do with teleportation in it.
> Well then second rate gear must be all the west has?

Second rate gear that the west is trying to get rid of is what is being supplied, in part because its nearly as easy as mothballing and a lot of it just happens to cross over with what Ukraine needs.

Also by definition the second rate gear may not even be in production anymore which would obviously make, acquiring more of it difficult.

Theres no western fighters, EW, tanks or even large drones.

Even with some of the good gear that is provided (M270 / HIMARS) they aren't even providing ATACMS or other longe range missiles (such as PrSm, or ER GLMRS).
there is a maps-and-data company in Berkeley, California (urban planners) that maintains detailed and mostly-current information on occupancy for all of California; both renters and homes; unending policy battles behind-the-scenes about covid-19 and eviction very much at the fore.

> This is misinformation.

> I don't understand why people lie so blatantly like this.

Why assume malicious intent? Couldn't he just be wrong?
> On the other hand, there's no littering, virtually no homelessness (nor their encampments, etc) and finally no cars on the street, which makes the city look a lot cleaner.

Last time I visited Tokyo in 2016 there was clearly an encampment at the Ueno park. And that wasn’t the first time I saw an encampment in Japan (visiting Tokyo in 2008 I saw a few in Tokyo and Osaka). However, Japanese homeless encampments are always very clean and well organized. It’s a completely different feel from the states (even if they definitely exist).
See? It's stone soup.
That reminds me of when I carefully built a "lightbulb drop" challenge container that looked like the moon lander in high school art. We were given two pieces of construction paper, two straws and two large rubber bands. I spent a week I think building and testing my design so that it would use the straws and rubber bands like springs and the paper like fins to ensure it landed in the right position and prevent the lightbulb from breaking.

Cue "demo day": my friend forgot about the project and took the straws and wrapped them around the bulb and then crinkled up the construction paper roughly and wrapped it around the straws and bulb and then took the rubber bands and secured the paper. I think he spent maybe a minute on it.

I think you maybe know how this ends. The teacher sneered at his design but then proceeded to drop it several times from the top of a ladder and the bulb never broke. He then took my design and dropped it upside down (springs pointing up) and the bulb shattered. I still think about that and laugh 30+ years later.

I imagine rather than being innately better at communication, people who are extroverted have gotten better at communication through experience and repetition. If you spend all your time trying to talk to people you'll probably get good at it. Which is to say if you're introverted, spend more time putting yourself in situations where you'll need to form connections to have fun and you'll probably get better at it.
Yeah, the new houses are what pay the bills. Once the music stops playing though the game is over. Medium density, mixed use housing would stop the music by making demand for crappy new R1 housing plummet. No one wants to rip the bandaid off though so it just gets worse and worse until they turn into Detroit.
OTOH a human is very likely to notice and pull over. Between the fact that self-driving systems lack some of the cues (e.g. suddenly being unable to see the dash or the sky) and their abysmal track record for handling edge cases, I'm not sure they would do the same.
It only took two comments to go from talking about web bundlers to Rohingya genocide. This website sure is something.
I see their point but it still reads as the age old "these kids with their x, y, z" which is the story of the ages.

As a millennial I don't mind QR code menus at all if they take me to a website for it. If they require me to install an app that's where I draw the line; too much faff - it should be a single step. Requiring an account is a nono as well.

However most QR menus I've used so far have been like this, carefree guest checkout. Easy as. I think the sort of thinking in the article is the age old "these kids & their phones" uttered by people who had their heads in newspapers & TV channels their whole lives. Technology is here.

I totally agree with you, Next has introduced some innovative ideas and created a framework on top of react that rivals the quality of the react codebase itself.

However, this is the foot in the door that creates incentives that prioritizes their business model over creating a vibrant and healthy ecosystem.

Now that the react dev team and next dev team are closely working together, to the point that the react team is part of the nextjs conf announcements, it really starts to show the wolf in sheep's clothing.

This is not an open ecosystem anymore, it's being run by FB and VC money.
Not all analogies can be saved, nevertheless let's try:

the town = the TCP/IP suite of protocols (UDP, QUIC, etc. included)

the public town square = DNS

a booth selling vegetables in the public town square = a domain, "foo.com", publishing whatever their opinion is about reality and everything else

A great lie told again and again by "social media" domains is that they are "platforms", but a platform is meant to sustain something else beyond itself. "foo.com", "twitter.com" are merely individual booths, where all the value is owned by the person/company owning that domain, irregardless of how "easy" it is to "post" on "foo.com" and how difficult it is to setup a new booth/domain on DNS: DNS is that platform we have been hearing ad nauseam.

And even more, a domain, such as "foo.com", or "twitter.com", or "tiktok.com", is fundamentally someone's estate, owned by a master [1]: it's a glaringly obvious contradiction in terms to say that a domain could ever be a "public town square".

Entering and adding value to someone else's domain is akin to belonging to a feudal master, a technofeudalism if you will [2]. And some tehnofeuds are great, I personally enjoy "github.com", but believing that "github.com" is a "public town square" for code, not backing up your work in other places, it's at the very least irresponsible.

Start by not dismissing something that everyone else finds enough value in to consistently do across nearly all of their interactions.
It seems like good practice is to check data retrieved from the cache is what is expected, e.g. the user id from the cache matches the logged-in user id.

Unfortunately, most devs don't think there is ever a need to check that until it fails.

There seems to be a decent amount of lag when scrolling on Firefox (106.1.0) for Android. Other than that, the mobile UI is pretty slick and I'm enjoying reading what others have posted.
The standard rental contract in Japan is not 1-year, but 2-years. For these engagements, as with employment, it's about consistency, predictability and long-term commitment.

One-month is ultra-short by Japanese standards. The rental inventory is distinct from regular apartments. This is effectively a hotel.
Thanks for this comment. I love experiences like this and this makes me want to go to Amsterdam even more at some point. I've experienced this in random small towns in the US, but they are few and far between.
I see it as a bit of both. Labels can and absolutely do help people in the ways you describe. You might be down about a certain characteristic of yours until you discover others like yourself. What once made you feel like an outcast is now how you are able to maintain a sense of belonging in a community. Everybody deserves that.

However, in my experience, the issue is when that label feedbacks so heavily and so strongly as to become a defining piece of one's identity. It can easily become less about self-exploration and understanding and more about fitting in. The difference between the two is very subtle and I'm intentionally being very non-prescriptive about it as I believe that line is different for everybody.

You can sort of apply Goodhart's Law to it. As it shifts into being a target for who you should be, it ceases to be a good way to measure who you are.
There is nothing this person can say that will satisfy you because you're not interested in being satisfied.

This does not invalidate their point.

What you're pointing out are risks, are those risks worth being free?

Most people would say yes.
Hilariously that wikipedia page mentions nothing about productivity. In fact an article that talks about Jevon's paradox says this:

According to the Ford Motor Company, its fuel economy ranged between thirteen and twenty-one miles per gallon. There are vehicles on the road today that do worse than that; have we really made so little progress in more than a hundred years? But focussing on miles per gallon is the wrong way to assess the environmental impact of cars. Far more revealing is to consider the productivity of driving. Today, in contrast to the early nineteen-hundreds, any American with a license can cheaply travel almost anywhere, in almost any weather, in extraordinary comfort; can drive for thousands of miles with no maintenance other than refuelling; can easily find gas, food, lodging, and just about anything else within a short distance of almost any road; and can order and eat meals without undoing a seat belt or turning off the ceiling-mounted DVD player.

A modern driver, in other words, gets vastly more benefit from a gallon of gasoline—makes far more economical use of fuel—than any Model T owner ever did. Yet motorists’ energy consumption has grown by mind-boggling amounts, and, as the productivity of driving has increased and the cost of getting around has fallen, the global market for cars has surged. (Two of the biggest road-building efforts in the history of the world are currently under way in India and China.) And developing small, inexpensive vehicles that get a hundred miles to the gallon would only exacerbate that trend. The problem with efficiency gains is that we inevitably reinvest them in additional consumption.[0]

In other words, you're too narrowly focusing on "miles per gallon", not the fact that "any American with a license can cheaply travel almost anywhere, in almost any weather, in extraordinary comfort; can drive for thousands of miles with no maintenance other than refuelling; can easily find gas, food, lodging, and just about anything else within a short distance of almost any road; and can order and eat meals without undoing a seat belt or turning off the ceiling-mounted DVD player."

For example, in the show Mad Men, you'd see a whole floor full of human beings who's sole job was to type out letters on typewriters. Now, those jobs are obsolete and the white collar worker is responsible for them. Still bullshit paperwork, but the white collar worker now has to do them.

The overall trend for productivity since it was tracked in 1947 has been on an upward trend with its sharpest 1H downward trend ever this past year. Are you seriously suggesting white collar workers magically got more bullshit paperwork just these past 2 quarters?

Influencers/marketers don't create anything. If they all got vaporized by aliens, people would just watch/play something else and buy slightly different products, and the world would go without much of a hitch.

If all the makers disappeared overnight, shit would get crazy in a hurry. Faster even for things like plumbers/electricians/etc, who get paid less than engineers ironically.

Tell me again about the value that influencers create.

Realistically this would be the best way to get your easter egg caught.

Unicode escape characters in comments will draw most people's eyes immediately, it just doesn't look natural.

Instead write the easter egg in completely plain sight attached to a boring change, make sure the PR is passing CI on the first try, and a reviewer will skim for exactly .5 seconds before replying "LGTM!".
When I play console games on my Xbox 360 the biggest annoyance by far is the loading times. You run around in Skyrim and you enter a house so you have to wait 30 seconds for the content to load. Then you leave the house and have to wait 30 seconds again. My point is that the relevant performance metric isn't speed of number crunching anymore - it is speed of transporting data from one part of the system to another.

Nobody said that they are national governments. They are organizations with governance policies.

Even if corporations are not governments, they are far more similar to governments then they are to private individuals.

Moderation is a form of regulation- it is a way of regulating speech. Banning moderation is deregulation.

"More platforms" is not the answer. In a democracy, when people are publicly discussing matters of public or political importance, other citizens have the right to participate in that conversation.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t POSIX dictate a text stream as STDIN/STDOUT?

If my understanding is correct, this basically rules out any attempts to create richer CLI pipelines that necessitate other kinds of data interchange. IIRC this was one of the motivating factors in the design of PowerShell—though I don’t know PS well enough to say if it’s POSIX complaint or not.
Twitter is not a technical problem.

I mean, don't get me wrong, there are interesting technical challenges in a high volume site like Twitter. However, the problems and real existential challenges Twitter faces have nothing to do with tech.
Apple doesn't make this lock. They just sell it in their store.

Hello HN ,

Today we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of refine with this launch event. Last year was a landmark year for us since we watched refine grow from zero and establish itself as a prominent React framework. Thank you to all of our friends who have been with us on this amazing journey!

It all started with a single question two years ago: "Is it possible for a low-code web framework to quickly generate CRUD applications while still allowing custom styling, logic and workflow?". None of the existing solutions could give us the amount of flexibility that we needed, so we started building one from scratch.

Today refine evolved to a full-blown framework for building CRUD applications like admin panels, dashboards, internal tools and storefronts. It eliminates the repetitive tasks demanded by CRUD operations and saves days of development time.

Unique "Headless UI" approach enables developers to use any UI framework or custom design without constraints. For convenience, refine is shipped with ready-made integrations with three powerful UI frameworks: Ant Design, Material UI & Mantine.

Being totally backend agnostic, refine can connect to 15+ backend services out-of-the-box, incl. custom REST & GraphQL API's. With refine, developers have 100% control over their projects as they may build, style and deploy the way they like.

If you are new to refine, you may visit our website or GitHub page to get more information, start with examples or dive in to tutorials. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments below. The team will be here all day to answer.

And of course, we want to know what you think about refine and any ideas or suggestions you may have for our solution. Please write them and we'll be happy to join the conversation.

Happy coding to everyone!
