They meant stock. If you wanted to buy a lot of public stock you don't use a random app - you engage at a higher level. Same with buying a lot of advertising.
Nobody here sees the apartments as a good thing and it has nothing to do with house prices.
Developed countries were created over centuries. They have a giant amount of legacy cruft and baggage that may have made sense in an older world but no longer does. They have no reason nor incentive to reform themselves and its workers are mindless drones that never think if their work has any value because the institution lacks the market test.

China is an authoritarian godless dictatorship that will put a bullet in your head if you disagree with the dictator. This is the antithesis of freedom and the free will given to each of us.

Latest update fried my account ... Fortunately I have it installed on every device, so I can just wipe and reload the account, syncing back from my other devices... But I decided that after this happened for a 3rd time, I was done, uninstalled on multiple devices, keeping my least used device with it installed and will not be updating... Don't want to lose it all. It was awesome when it worked, just as a LAN option for transferring bits between devices, but I didn't spend 6 hours installing nextcloud for nothing. Full migration in progress.
I personally miss [EDIT: a Mac or www implementation of] xroach. IMHO it was the funniest of the default X toys.
Cognitive load never "feels" like cognitive load.

Back then in C++ times, I also felt like 10+ min compilation times were non-issue. Until I experienced subsecond compilation times, of course.
We really need Rich Text Editing on the web.

Hard to imagine how far Germany could have been today if they weren't trapped for 16 years by a party which did everything it could to stop renewable expansion. Crippling the national industry and selling it out to China this way.
We get our customers to upload to S3 directly so we don't have to handle their ingress traffic through our infra. Problems involve mostly when the client cocks up as it's near impossible to distinguish between broken files and good ones. This leads to the assumption that the clients have uploaded a file and they haven't.

I'm working on a protocol that hopefully addresses some of these ideas, with a heavy emphasis on mobile-first. I'm just about to have a formal security audit, but if you have any interest in this, I'd love any early input I can get to see if it solved some of these problems.

If you're interested at all, please drop me a line at josh@meow.io.
I've found it a little bit difficult to join your beta. For example, a form asks you to select an editor. You can only select one. If you select something other than VSCode, it doesn't allow you to join. I use both Neovim and VSCode regularly, not just a single editor, so that was a little bit confusing. I guess other people do, too?... After passing that check, I saw that to join the beta you are required to schedule a call... That seemed too much to me, to be honest. Ended up not joining because of this...

Companies have a litany of tactics — and cash — to get people to buy, buy, buy. They position bottled water as a healthier alternative to sodas (which it is) and to tap water (which it often is not). They try to entice people with sleek imagery and promises of purity, positioning the packaging as sporty or sexy or extra-healthy or whatever the brand’s schtick is.

This is bizarre.

Who thinks you can't drink tap water? Maybe, just maybe, someone things "hey, I like the taste of bottled water better, so I'll drink that because I don't mind the cost".

The article stinks of some weird victimhood where corporations take away free will from consumers.
Start slowly. If you hurt yourself early, that's what you'll forever associate with skating.

To find a place nearby, I Think just google roller skating and your local area. I would think that there are local groups who'd have some kind of online presence, always looking for new recruits. I don't use Facebook myself, but that's the likeliest online gathering place.

Lean slightly forwards, bent knees, keep your centre of gravity low and use your bent knees as control and, somewhat, shock absorbers, feet in a comfortable V-shape, toes further apart than heels, and just kinda step. The V-shape and physics will start you moving forwards.

After 20+ years of nothing, it took me about two hours of constant skating at an unpopulated rink (kids birthday party) to learn satisfactory cross overs.

Long term, there are muscles in your feet and lower legs that, unless you're a dancer, you've barely used and are important for subtle balance control. These have taken me years to build up, and I've got years still to go.

Ultimately, there's no shortcut, it's all about time spent doing.

Took me 18 months to go from starting backwards skating to be moderately comfortable doing it in a speed skating session. I'm proud of myself for a goal reached, and each goal reached leads to a branching set of further goals to achieve.

And once you've got a set of skates and pads, it's cheap and it's good for fitness.

(For me, it really helped that my kids and nieces are / were really into it. Kids enthusiasm is really infectious).

P.S. running into people is always a risk. Avoiding people is a good way to learn things you didn't know you could do - until you fucking had to. I caused a five person pile up just last Friday. Be polite, be contrite, but be aware this is a risk everyone takes when roller skating.

Also, I roll on inlines, I'm a baby giraffe on quads, it's embarrassing how bad I am given how I'm quite good on inlines.
Neat. Wouldn’t a near 100% cloud be basically a liquid? What would it be like for a spacecraft to fly through that? A big puddle floating in the sky?
Didnt Alex Jones prove otherwise?

That was fascinating. As a non- chemist it's easy to think the water is inert and 50% concentration just means 50% as much corrosion, but the water obviously plays an active role.
> But it is? Simply just saying something isn't, doesn't make it so.

I think that sometimes when people say "X is/is not an alternative to Y", they're actually meaning "replacement". Such as the current "Is the Fediverse an alternative to Twitter?" Obviously, yes. Is it a replacement? Obviously, no, and it could never be since it doesn't implement a whole bunch of Twitter features!

Same with Linux - "Is Linux an alternative to Windows?" Yes. A replacement? Probably not but it would depend on what you're wanting to do, surely.
Exactly. So much magic and complexity just to perform the nil check behind the scenes.

Also it has a bit of educational component. It's like a seatbelt. In some societies people consider seatbealts annoying and irritating thing that restrict their freedom. They use seat belt plugs to get rid of that annoyance. Go just forces you to use it, regardless of your initial predisposition to the seatbelts.

If I was the CEO or Co Founder of a startup that could see success on the horizon I’d work all night too. The project is very personal and the potential rewards are enormous.

But it makes me furious when those same people want to know why the rank and file aren’t as “dedicated” as they are.

CTO has 30% of the equity. The ‘founding engineer’ they hired has 1.5%. The next few engineers they hired have 0.5%. Pretty obvious why one of those people is OK to sleep at the office and the others have better shit to do!
They're cracking open gym lockers, grabbing phone and bank cards, using knowledge of the bank name, person name and access to the SMS OTP visible on phone to relink a fresh cellphone banking app. That's the speculation anyway & there are some gaps in the theory.

But yeah basically they're gaining access to the entire bank a/c and doing thousands of damage instead of usual credit card stuff which is obv protected legally
I just started with Shimmer and I'm loving it so far. The coach they paired me with is wonderful. I feel like she really gets me. I had a 30-minute video call with my coach where she asked a lot of questions to get to know me and my challenges. We mapped out a plan to work on those challenges and she gave me action items at the end to work on before our next call. She texted to check in and has been asking questions throughout the week. I have my 2nd session tomorrow and I'm really excited. I've tried traditional coaches in the past and it cost $100 per week/session. This is way more affordable and the fact that we can keep in touch between sessions adds so much value. Overall I'm loving Shimmer!
It’s called Saxon genitive.
I would prefer this to the status quo, but it isn't a completely clean solution to the problem. If I now make a one line change at the bottom of my function to return one additional result, the only additional change in the diff should be to the type signature. But now my diff will still show adding zero values on all the rest of the return lines. It's nice that they will only be underscores- again it is certainly better than the status quo.
I'm super passionate about Swing Dancing. I learned some of it in Highschool but started learning Lindy Hop in college. Unfortunately I had to skip the latest event my friends went to because I'm sick, but I really want to get back out there.

A _fantastic_ video. Look at how well all the leads communicate to their follows what to do without any verbal directions. They use their movements to direct the dance. I'm not this good but I saw this recently and I'm feeling inspired.

Do you mean that you cannot synchronously validate the file and return an error to the client?
For async validations a lambda on an s3 trigger works well enough. For sync validation I've found you are limited in what you can encode in an upload policy
I’m also into climbing :) Bouldering and top rope at the moment but thinking about taking a lead class next year. I mostly climb indoors but live in a region with great outdoor climbing as well so I might do more outdoor climbing in the future.
100% this. A cluttered living space seems to make it near impossible to think clearly. The obvious proof of this is that spending two or three hours straightening up a cluttered room - organizing it and cleaning it down to the dust on the molding - creates a fresh ecosystem where suddenly a lightness of thought, a lightness of being, drifts in and settles down, brushing away and flushing away mental clutter too.
Artificial complexity to justify lock-in and artificial salaries.
Count yourself lucky as one of the few that didn't get unexpectedly sick, injured or was laid off.
Yep, sadly CRT is missing a lot of the fun stuff of cathode e.g. I don't think CRT supports adjustable bitrates (baud rates), or all the mechanical sounds Cathode came with, or the hilarious "degaussing" feature.

I think cathode also had reflection using your webcam, but I may just have invented that. And I don't remember whether it had burn-in.

Either way, it was an absolute joy, so many nice details, such a shame it died.
Thanks!

I'll try a sprint. I actualy did Morning Pages (flow of conscious execise for writers) for many years just for the psychological benefits. I got blocked on those because I think I just got sick of talking to myself and a novel is a way to get some self expression and joy of writing back without it being so self-reflective.

Can you recommend a writing discord?
Different headphones suit different genres of music so you should probably mention what music you'd be listening to. Won't you also need a headphone amp?
My passion is also bicycling. Started mostly as the typical lycra-cled bicyclist on a semi-expensive bike doing long Sunday rides. Bike to work here in Norway year-around, no matter the conditions.

Then lately I've started to think: Why don't more people use bikes? Cars in my city are noisy, the big and fast roads makes it more miserable to walk around etc. At the same time StrongTowns, NotJustBikes, r/fuckcars etc have grown big, and it has become more of a movement. Make the cities for the people, not cars.

I'm now spending lots of time as a bicycle advocate. Going to public meetings, making sure bicyclists' points of view are included in new infrastructure plans, reporting cars parked in the bicycle lane, videotaping and putting things on Twitter to now quite a big following, talking to media etc.

So my goal would rather be that you don't need what's basically an electric motorbike to cycle safely as you do, instead more dedicated infrastructure and lower speeds on the roads in the city. But end goal is the same, make it safer to bike.
Obviously there are many things going on here, and I am not saying this is the end all explanation to the whole thing, but an interesting part of the puzzle I came across during a project I did on the brewery industry during my bachelor, is that there exists a whole market segment of consumers who just wants to "try something new".

When you ask yourself in the super market "Who in their right mind wants a snickers and mint flavored orea?" this is that segment.

So, in my case, the beer industry was (is? This was a decade ago) losing sales to ready-mades (Barcadi Breezer, cans of rum and coke, etc.) and a way to hold on to consumers was simply to add new, limited run recipes.

All classes of drinks are trying to hold on to consumers who are being stolen by other classes of drinks, by offering up new colors and strange flavor combinations.

But at the same time I think you are right about companies training consumers to drink larger and larger portions sugared drinks. Like, 1.5 liter coca-cola isn't even the largest size drink in the cinema sometimes!
I don't think anyone who wishes others not to learn from their code should upload it publically to GitHub.
Same in Poland - my mum only buys bottle water even though her tap water is perfect fine to drink.
I can only find opinion pieces and no official republican statement promising they would cut social benefits. In any case I believe those are empty electoral promises. In my country the right wing campaigned on the promise of cutting social benefits, now that they are ruling they simply can't do it unless they want a rebellion. That's because we are in such a bad situation since we blindly followed the orders of our master Biden. The US is also in a bad place after the delusional democrat foreign policy, the last thing the republicans could do now is cut social benefits at a time where quality of life standards are dropping for everyone. Again, thanks to the bankrupt policies of your governments.
There is a fucktonne of research that stretches back into the 1930s that strongly indicate that 8hours is about the maximium you can employ someone before they stop being productive.

it just makes logical sense. If you want more productivity, have two shifts.
Interesting that even on the yearly chart almost all green and greenish areas get their 'green' power from hydro and nuclear by large. If only wind and solar produced as much power as they do talk.
It is just another client among many, you still connect to the same instance/server, be it Mastodon Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube etc.

There is no concept of channels on Mastodon, but I'm pretty sure the underlying protocol supports it and that other ActivityPub-based services makes use of it. I think PeerTube does?
A little writeup of my thoughts around collectig and consuming information. Thoughts that came out of building a bookmarking tool.
I’ve been working on a piece of software (an audio plugin, specifically) to help me make music on my iPad.

There’s a wonderful app called Drambo which lets you create incredible music using both its own built in modules, and plugins from other developers, but it’s lacking (by choice) a “timeline”, where you can record/draw how the parameters of each sound change over time throughout the song - instead you have to control this live.

I’m into quite hypnotic/evolving electronic music and performing it live can be a bit challenging (e.g. if you make a mistake, you have to start over), and I’d love to be able to make music like this without using my laptop, so after evaluating all the software out there which can “sequence” like this and finding none of it meets my needs, I decided to build it myself as a plugin which I can integrate into Drambo.

Usually when I have these ideas for software I don’t get too far with them, but this one is actually already nearly at a point where it‘s usable, which is exciting! To keep things technically interesting, I’ve built it with a combination of C++ (with the JUCE framework) for the audio, and Flutter for the UI, which works really well in terms of fast iteration.

I’ll probably release it free/OSS when it’s ready as I don’t think there’s much money in this kind of software and it’s just built out of passion… it’s currently the thing I end up thinking about when I fall asleep etc. haha. It’s super satisfying to have got this far with a side project.

Outside of that, I was between jobs last week and spent it going on day trips from London and getting reacquainted with photography. My cameras had been gathering dust in favour of my phone, but I’d forgotten what a “zen” experience properly taking photographs can be. I had a wonderful day on Friday in a forest taking photographs of mushrooms for hours - my technique needs work but just the process of doing it was so relaxing. So I’m going to try to get back into travelling to places and doing more photography in future, it gives a nice focus to a trip.
A near 100% H2SO4 cloud would be a cloud whose droplets have vanishingly little water in them.

As your balloon drifts up or down through it, the sheen of moisture it collects on its surface is maximum strength sulfuric acid. I hope your balloon is not of a material subject to oxidation, because if it is, you will soon discover a place even worse than in that cloud.
IAM is the one for me. I can stumble through the basics, but trying to keep everything least privilege adds a layer of pain to everything relatively complex that I try to do.
I haven't played FTL in years. What do you mean by "stalling" exactly? Do you mean visiting as many nodes in each region as possible and leaving just before the rebels catch you?

Or waiting for the opposing crew to run out of oxygen?
Pentaquark
I remember the public faucets being disgusting. It was nice when bottled water became available everywhere and we didn't have to drink from them anymore.
You can turn FTL into that by not pausing.
This is pretty much just stomping on sand. Law and positive norms rarely can constrain a breakthrough tech like this.
If you use disposable diapers, get pet poop bags rather than dedicated diaper trash bags. The former are far cheaper.

If at all possible, change diapers on the floor - the baby will move. And there's little need for a changing table.

We took shifts with the babies, so we each could get uninterrupted sleep. #1 quickly had a good sleep schedule. #2 ... took 10 months. And would mostly only sleep while being pushed in a stroller or co-sleeping. With relatives, their kid would only sleep in a moving car.

Find activities for parent+kid(s). The local library had one starting a 4 months, which I enjoyed. So do some of the local churches.

I loved taking #1 out in a chest carrier for walks + naps. #2 didn't like it at all.

People will stop and tell you you're parenting wrong. Feel free to ignore them. Most common was (in cold weather) that baby needed more clothing on. One person told me it was psychologically harmful to have the baby facing forward in the stroller instead of backward. I swore at them.
Can't do that. The clients own the S3 buckets not us.

The whole idea we had was stupid.
Statements like that leave me questioning the integrity of the video or its translation. I wouldn't be surprised that people hold such views. When you think about it, most people in developed nations drink water that has been tested, treated, and transported. There is no reason why a business couldn't handle that. We simply deal with that handling through public institutions, in part to ensure accessibility and in part to ensure safety. What does surprise me is that a CEO would make such a statement publicly. Such statements can easily be interpreted (or misinterpreted) as denying people fundamental human needs unless they can afford it.
The dominant Mastodon instances all seem to align ideologically and ban any node that deviates from that ideology.
Absolutely, there's so many services and permissions that getting them to all work together happily can be complex. I work at a company where we have both AWS certified engineers and some very smart people in general, and there's been times when we spend ages trying to figure out why one particular service can't read data from an S3 bucket (or a particular folder in bucket).
Weren't people on the go 50 years ago?

This need for bottled water is relatively new. Some of us on HN lived at a time when the concept was absurd, others have grown up with bottled water.

Meeting rooms used to serve a carafe of water and glasses. Now everybody gets a bottle. So obviously they are competing.
Can confirm this was a intense 12 hours of work to get it working properly. Their example and explanation in the docs is also very vague and borderline misleading at points.

Another example is Google cloud run vs elastic container service. Cloud run is dead easy to get up and running. ECS is a mess of confusing terminology and unnecessary complexity. I literally do not care what class of machine you will use to run my container. If I cared that much I would have used a proper EC2 instance.
I find that instead of using thunderbird's RSS client it is better to use an RSS-to-email service and filter the emails into a folder. The resulting interface in Thunderbird is quite similar but you get sync across your devices.
> developed countries do

Too often not.

https://bestlifeonline.com/worst-drinking-water/

And that's not an endorsement for bottled water, which has also often been found to be as bad as or worse than tap water.

I use a drip / wick filter. Very cheap and it removes a lot of the bad stuff and makes the water taste better.
I would guess that it's "A demonstration of all the 3D data already in OpenSourceMap"

As heights and number of levels on the building has been a part of the dataset for a while now:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:levels

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:height

https://blog.mapbox.com/mapping-3d-building-features-in-open...

It's obviously not complete. I took 2 locations that I know well (different countries) and the first has relatively realistic looking 3-d building shapes. The other has nothing.

And that it's using a 3rd party engine. Since the OSM data is "open", there's nothing wrong with making use of it.
What's the deal with corn tortillas outside of the US and Mexico?

I've found quite good flour tortillas in Central Europe and also in Thailand. But in 25 years of searching I have yet to find a decent, "proper" soft corn tortilla like I can buy in just about any non-fancy grocery store in California.

I keep telling myself there must be a shop in Madrid or Barcelona considering the size of the Mexican expat communities, but even there I have not found any so far.

What gives?
The hard AI is also coded to prioritise targeting your oxygen room when low on oxygen, which in various situations can cause a soft lock where you can't repair the oxygen room without dying and get stuck in the infirmary. Always hilarious when this happens.
