It's a great film, still available on BBC iPlayer:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0016489/storyville-th...

However there was a missed opportunity to end the film on the brilliantly directed scene of the gourmet eating the fried eggs with truffles. The perfect way to end a film about gathering truffles.
Even hue seems to have yielded some redundant-looking blues.

So why don't some enterprising well known artists/VCs/record labels/ pool together some money to build a new large venue, and control the ticketing themselves?
> what is sold as truffle flavor is 2,4-dithiapentane, an organosulfur compound that is naturally found in truffles

and

> it can be extracted from oil. [...] Liters of this petroleum-derived product, the colorless 2,4-dithiapentane liquid, are sourced for a few euros...

We've discussed this in chemistry classes. The compound is the compound. Why does it matter where it's sourced?

Anyone who's heard about the rarity of Actual Truffles can reason out that they can't possibly be squeezing enough "truffle oil" from Proper Truffles to supply the world. They're obviously recreating something. So they identified the tasty (smelly?) chemical that identifies with Real Truffles, and source it elsewhere.

It reminds me of the every-decade story about how Twinkies are made, and the myriad of scary chemicals in them. The recipe has changed a bit over the years (actually getting safer...) and the last article I read on the subject was all "OMG THEY ARE USING INDUSTRIAL CLEANER IN TWINKIES" then continued to have a food scientist explain that they discovered the Actual Food ingredient cleaned better than the Chemical Cleaner, so switched from Chemical Cleaner to Actual Food Ingredient Cleaner.
at the end 1999, my employer hosted what I guess was half NYE Party and half Incident Response. We were optimistic that we wouldn't have issues but figured it'd be wise to have a sufficient crew of designated drivers, so to speak.

Our monitoring system included a mercator projection on some big screens, with colored that showed where our gear was and whose color indicated whether it was down, being hammered, etc.

We had no equipment in UTC+14, so there was an hour of waiting between that zone reaching y2k and when we'd maybe see some action. The control room was mobbed since we also had some televisions running cable news there and everyone wanted to see it.

Despite the anxiety, the gear was looking fine everywhere, until about 5 minutes before midnight in UTC+13, when our locations in New Zealand started to turn red. A hush fell over the room as the operators attempted to open connections to those boxes. The connection attempts appeared to hang, and the party got somber. But after the eternity of a few seconds, we were in. The machines were alive but being hammered; the alerts just indicated the excessive traffic caused by mass numbers of users refreshing NZ based websites as the date change approached, to see whether they'd fallen off the net or not. Breathing resumed.

After 15 minutes or so had passed, the traffic fell off, and by the time y2k reached us in UTC+5 we'd been in full festive mode for hours. I still can't look at New Zealand on a map without seeing it covered in angry red circles, though.
Yea he did.
I think AdWords changed the world definitely for the better. A whole lot of niche businesses became viable that otherwise wouldn't have been, and it kept search results clean and fast. The state of the art before then was banner ads on serps.

I guess I see the entertainment industry in two tiers. There are the mega-stars like Taylor Swift, etc. that occupy one tier, and then the majority off smaller artists, up and coming artists that represent the lower, if you like, strata.

Perhaps you are describing, and perhaps the author are tackling the upper strata. For myself, I swore off big venues decades ago. If I am unable to set my beer behind the monitor speaker, I'm not going.

I wonder if the lower strata could use a kind of "artists coop" to manage ticket sales. All smaller venues (bars and the like) could participate, all smaller artists could as well.

I think more artists would handle selling their own tickets if it was easy to do. In that way the artists are served (of course) and presumably they will do what is best for their fanbase.

Connecting artists and venue owners with a web portal, allowing ticket sales to fans via the same site shouldn't be heavy lifting for a lot of the readers on HN.

Four month ago I launched my YouTube channel to teach how to code. And I have been surprised to discover that many of my viewers were asking me: how to become a developer?

After 10 years of experience as a freelance developer, I have a clear view on how a junior can start his career.

I’ve summarize these points:

- Try different langages, frameworks and pick one you like,
- Dive deep into programming concepts – also into your framework,
- Your goal is to become a master of your framework/langage,
- Create a LinkedIn / GitHub profile, synthetic and professional as much as possible (your profile picture has to be serious),
- Multiply personal projects on your GitHub profile (at least 2–3),
- Contribute if you can to open source projects,
- Apply only to jobs that fits with your skills and wishes – that’s the most important condition,
- If you got interviews for jobs you really want, my best advice is to create a clone project and to present it during your interview.
- I got several others points but they are in the video I made this weekend.

At the end I even share my own story and how I became a developer/CTO.

Best,

Guillaume Duhan
If you want the indie hacker life, you have to develop the skills that sustain it.

People have lots of pain points that irritate them enough to pay for a fix, but the vast majority will not frame it in such a clear way or just announce it to the world.

You can take a course like 30x500 (my personal recommendation) that equips you for such a pain discovery and fix definition process. If you're willing to be patient about it, you can also, on your own time, develop your listening skills for that sort of complaint.

Example: from your question, if I could offer a service that lists points of friction or inefficiency that many people complain about and would pay to improve, you would probably pay me to use it and pick a starter for your project. That's a business idea! If I can figure out a reliable, sustainable way to gather this information and then reach out to people in your situation to offer it, I'm on my way to a viable product.

The prospects of higher fuel prices and a $1600 rebate from our gas supplier (MA, USA) helped me to decide to replace our ancient boiler (1950s oil, later converted to single-stage 200MBTUH gas) with a modern modcon combination boiler.

I haven’t compared degree-days of last year vs this year, but by the gas meter, through yesterday we’re using 40% of (60% less) on per-day basis as compared to last year.

It was many thousands out of pocket, but if the 40% holds up, it will pay back in about five years. (Our old system was dark-comically inefficient though. For most 80-ish% cast iron boilers, it doesn’t make economic sense to replace with a [theoretical max] 95% mod-con if the old one is still reliable.)

> seems to be very modern, very Western

I don't think this is true at all. I'm not from a Western culture originally, and my friends (who i love) across a whole slice of society (from bus drivers to tech executives) have sort of diverged. Some of them always make time no matter what. Others, despite being super helpful when they can, 100% put other priorities over friendship first. Pretty sure that's not just my case and not really limited to the West at all.
I also get CloudFlare now blocking my access to RSS feed MP3s for some podcasts. Once the almighty CloudFlare deems you a threat, your IP is burned. These days I can use less and less of the internet.

Exactly. Every Intel machine has a hardware watchdog built into the ICH chipset. Make sure it is turned on.
Option 2 is fairly realistic for several species we keep in captivity when care is taken during the raising of the animal - ethical sourcing, exactly as the root comment of this thread mentioned. Is it going to be perfect? No, but it's a life, and they live it.

I eat meat. I also go out of my way to pay more for meat that's been raised in conditions that aren't the bare minimum we can do.

Now let's talk more seriously about this part:

>It also ignores that, in your parallel, we are the aliens. The aliens could make an option 3:: don't eat humans. And all they lose is something they find tasty.

Because honestly - I think you're taking a complete cop out here, and I think you basically stuck your fingers in your ears and went "nah nah nah nah" when reading the two options.

We aren't just raising those animals because they're tasty, and if we stopped they could go back to live in never-never land and be happy and healthy and independent.

We're allocating resources to their care because it's an efficient way to use those resources compared to the benefit we derive from those animals.

When we don't raise animals like this - historically, in EVERY fucking case since we left the hunter-gatherer stage, we destroy their habitat and repurpose it for something else - usually something that makes it inhospitable to those animals. We burn it down to clear it for crops. We pour concrete over it to make our homes. We hunt those animals not because we might eat them, but because they might harm us inadvertently, or bring disease into our communities, or harm our crops.

This is not a fairly tale - resource allocation is a real thing. If we don't allocate resources to raising livestock - we sure as fuck aren't going to leave those resources lying there for those same animals living outside captivity. We're going to allocate them to something else.

Basically - we're competing with those animals, and livestock is a form of mutualism that benefits both sides (arguably - us far more than the animals, but mutualism is hardly ever equal). We make sure they get food, water, shelter, space. We use their output - whether that's their labor, their hide, their meat, their milk, etc.

Side note - we do the same fucking thing with other humans, by the way. We just structure that mutualism in a different form.

You can of course have a hybrid — where say 75% of the tickets are lottery, the rest are insanely high priced.
There is a lot here to respond to. A LOT. I could spend an hour typing out a monolithic response but that won’t be as good recommending some reading to you. “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer is a great start, and “A Plea for the Animals” is a lovely follow up written by a neuroscientist/monk.

I’d also like to extend the opportunity to talk to you about everything you said. I believe so, so, so deeply that you are incredibly wrong about most of the things you said. My email is in my profile if you’d like to set up time to chat, but other than that all I can do is suggest those books to you.

No one will be able to challenge your beliefs for you. Only you can. Please, for the animals at least, considering challenging the thoughts you laid out in your comment.
Seems a bit of a weird question.

Considering how often it's discussed on HN what the unintended effects are of regulations on healthcare, education, and environment.

I would wager more than 5% of posts that got more than 100 comments in the last 5 years have discussions about that topic.
Computers can, in fact, calculate infinite values in style of calculus, but they must use symbolic methods. Computer Algebra Systems often implement such methods.

I believe this article is talking about numerical methods, which are always bound to finite values, because of finite memory.
I agree with this. In fact, I don’t even know if Musk cares whether people actually review the submissions.

This could be a very simple process of keeping them running through obstacle courses while the “weak” ones self-eliminate.
It matters because I’m sure there are other compounds in truffles that make the flavor well rounded and unique. The same way watermelon and grape and blueberry flavor in candy don’t really taste anything at all like the real thing.

The article opens with a +18% increase in heating prices, and talks about the problems people have with paying their heating bills.

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, gas prices went from 0.70-0.80 eur/m3 to 3.50-4.00 eur/m3

I spoke to someone at the collections department of a utility company. They expect total carnage as people start to skip on paying their bills. Government support notwithstanding, the coming winter will be hell. People on or below the median income will be hurt by the coming 300-400€ increase in monthly costs.
Between the federal government working with twitter to censor "disinformation" [1] and this serious privacy violation by a state government, I wonder what would make the government respect the constitutional rights of the people again.

My wife and I both have historically driven stick shifts here in the US. Initially for budget reasons, since they are of course cheaper.

These days they are harder to find, and that means you have to pay the "automatic tax" on many models. So I would be frustrated to lose the option.

Our current car, a Volkswagen GTI, still has a stick, but it does seem like it could be our last. Even some valets do not know how to park the thing!
Agree with the second paragraph strongly. I feel like most good ideas come from some amount of background and experience in the problem domain and marrying that with technical ability to build a solution.

That said, because I have the latter ability, I see a lot of examples where people have problems and just don’t imagine a tech solution would help them. This is a blessing and curse for OP.
Perhaps older oil-fueled steam or hot water boiler systems cannot be easily retrofitted to use a heat pump? Just a thought.
Reading the discussion, I think you're both right. There is a common sense notion of mathematics that exists independent of what people want to believe or agree upon.

There are also ways to philosophize about the nature of things in order to frame math as a human construct. I think both views can be simultaneously correct
I don't think "avoid playing in places without mega-venues, because otherwise our self-choosen pricing policy will make us look bad" is a particularly clever approach. (not to mention that doing so will drive up the price for events in places with such mega-venues)
Well yes, NAT might pose some additional constraints, but my main line of argument is that even in an alternative timeline where we never had the IPv4 address shortage and therefore no pressure to develop NAT because every device can be assigned its own address just as is possible now with IPv6, we might still have ended up with default-deny-inbound firewalls for home networks anyway, because it might have turned out that letting random programs run world-accessible serves on random computers without any special user authorisation isn't such a good idea.

IPv6 doesn't require NAT, but my bog standard home router still firewalls it, and I need to manually allow inbound connections (or give up and just use UPnP).
VSCode has been fantastic for me, I love it. It serves 99% of my editing needs.

The only IDE I like more is Android studio. If it weren't for the dang Storage Access Framework getting in the way, it would probably be one of my very favorite dev experiences ever.

I don't know anything about Go, but I wouldn't be surprised if VSCode improves on that front.

The other editor I occasionally use is Nano, usually to edit config files via SSH.

They make like $250k. Specialists make like $500k and up. So the business model is for health networks to vacuum them up and then hire a bunch of nurse practitioners for $100k.

Some of these guys get laid off and end up working in dermatology offices getting commissions on expensive creams.

Yes, mochizuki and the abc conjecture. It was an interesting conundrum : he was a really good mathematician, not a crank so his funky proof couldn't be dismissed. However, people were wary of approaching the proof since it was risky career wise (it takes time, etc). You end up with a weird situation where something is probably true, but you won't know that until a trusted group of mathematicians have read it and said so.

I like seeing this. At the time I remember thinking we needed something like this, and why doesn’t the browser have it already?

Then thinking, I suppose you could do it by (exactly the method you used), but never actually doing it because if it were that simple, someone would have already done it.

Actually, seeing the date, I realize this predates me even leaving high-school, which makes it even more atrocious that I never knew of it!
I think you are conflating hardware watchdogs and software timers. The hardware watchdog should be to catch cases where the system is no longer running your software (or the kernel or the watchdog daemon). Timeouts for software catch things like slow procedures, etc.
