BeConnected is a customizable BeReal-like Slack App, which fosters in-work relationships in distributed teams in an easy, fun, and honest way.

https://apexlab.notion.site/Fun-real-and-engaging-remote-wor...

At Apex Lab, our purpose is to make remote work enjoyable while building impactful digital products. Well, it didn’t come as a surprise that the outcome of a recent in-house hackathon was an MVP at the intersection of those areas, inspired by our company culture:

As a remote-only community, we interact with each other on Slack - a lot!

Most of us were totally engaged with BeReal and how it triggers new conversations.

We created a customizable, BeReal-like Slack app, which fosters in-work relationships in distributed teams.

It’s far from rocket science, but it gives us many nice moments and triggers unexpectedly fulfilling conversations. We would like to figure out how it is working for you!
Rust has a collection of wrapping functions to cover this case, e.g.

Oh, true, I misremembered that and thought that always required extra action, but that was if you wanted part of the history wiped while preserving the page.
A wise man once told me:

An expert is someone from 500 miles away.

It's true... when I've been brought in as an expert, I've often known less than the team, but listen research... and lo and behold, recommend the team's recommendation with a few minor obvious twists, and poof.. pay incoming.

If anyone needs an "expert"... listen to your team first. :)
Isn't uint8 exactly what your 'integer[modulo 256]' is? And for unbounded you do need bignum and dynamic allocation so I'm not sure I see any benefits to explicitely fine-graining the range instead of using machine word at all times and bignums when needed

We have one example of life beginning and zero examples of intelligent life that spreads intergalactically. About the most favorable thing one can say for your hypothesis is that we have insufficient data to rule it out.
Just to specify the kind of "should": But they don't, do they? Same with vultr, their ipv6 boxes have no outgoing IPv4 connection route.
Ask HN: Referrals for Private Businesses?
I run a small farm that I want to keep private. I do not want to sell to the public; instead, I want to cultivate a small group of loyal customers that participate in a CSA (community supported agriculture) program and enjoy some other perks (eg. stocked fishing ponds, miles of hiking trails, camp sites, music concerts, etc.).

Since I want to keep everything private, I am at a loss for how to find customers beyond a word-of-mouth referral scheme (e.g. 5% off your annual membership for every new member that you bring to us). While I think this would eventually work, I am not sure how to bootstrap that model.

I figure that someone here on HN been down this sort of road, as I feel it is not far off from the notion of finding local investors for a startup company that needs to remain in stealth mode.

Is there a good solution to my bootstrap problem, perhaps used by tech startups? (Is there an app for that?) Anyone solved this problem (perhaps without tech) in a way that I might want to consider and emulate?
Actually it is in the arch community repositories and seems to be quiet a bit faster than ncdu so I will keep it in my toolbox for now.

Painpoints are that there seems to be no progress bar in interactive mode, the ui is (imho) ugly/unintuitive (for instance the usage bar seems to be relative? and the shortcuts look like glyphs) and there are functions missing (like exclude patterns, you can exclude dirs though!).

So it won't replace ncdu, but if it get a interactive progressbar maybe it will be on all my machines (with arch)
This is not that far fetched tbh.

Broadly, is anyone aware of a generalized list of "new versions of classic tools?"

There are so many now that are better than the old stuff; I almost feel like a unified round up of these, maybe even in a distro form, might be good for linux enthusiasts, newcomers, old-timers, etc.
Killing the user's graphical session is terrible.

On the other hand, not having a userspace OOM killer means (meant?) that if your system runs out of memory, it will become so slow as to be totally unresponsive and the only thing you can do is to reboot. Which is even worse. Is that still true today or did the kernel OOM killer improved?

How does earlyoom compare against systemd-oomd?

After spending some time living in Europe, I simply cannot go back to North America (except for the few areas built with Old World charm). There's something so comforting about the beauty of European and other traditional architectural styles. (Modern/Postmodern?) glass boxes feel jarringly cold, hostile, and alienating.
Yeah the speakers in the newer macbook pro models (even the late intel ones) are really impressive. I almost never use them and when I happen to play audio through them I nearly always catch myself thinking "wow, those are really good".
One of the first things I did in my new position was to add ncdu (and mysqltuner) to our Ansible playbooks. It's that useful for me - I probably use it every other day at least.
Nothing quite breaks the immersion for me like having so many gay and interracial couples crammed into the cast that I end up sitting there wondering if there is any place on Earth that's anything like the "normal" town Hollywood is presenting to me.
Maybe? Depends on what you need personally.

If you need a job _now_, by all means, keep going. Just know that the system isn't as friendly right now, so it's not your fault when things are hard.

If you've got the runway to take a month, ask yourself: would you benefit more from building the inertia of keeping down the job application path, or from taking a breather and starting fresh in the new year? Both are valid.
>People say that the 20% 'top guys' get 80% of women and it's just a statistics until you see how radical it is for real when a guy is consistently perceived as top 5% / 1% by women. Most people don't ever see it because in general you have 0 of these guys in your social circle and if so, girls just literally become someone else and are super stealthy in dealing with theses guys.

>But if you even become one of "these guys" (or be close enough to one) you see how violent reality really is.. Basically girls would do anything, break any rule to be with you.

Yes, in a response to you acting like you know what your talking about while telling me I have no idea what I am talking about, I was a cock to you.

In my emails, I was told I would be receiving a new wheel as well as tires. So, I have no idea why you would feel necessary to suggest I won't be needing to swap a wheel when they are sending me a wheel. That's okay, sense I don't know what I'm talking about and you do. Have a good life being better than everyone else though.

The gloves I am talking about needs to have some clicking experience for being able to provide a touchtyping experience with no need to see anything. Experience I am talking about has to be compatible with walking, with riding a bicycle and even with driving (despite a steering wheel might be an excellent keyboard if to place keys on that part of ring on which your fingers are situated most of time).
White is the best selling used color by the way, followed by black and then silver but your point stands.

I kind of miss the times were people had colorful cars, and I don't understand this argument of screaming for attention. Looking at beautiful cars like the Alfa Giulia being black rather than Alfa red [1] or Quadrifoglio green...again?

You won't gain much by the combination of golang, sqlite and the cloud. You can't scale out and the cloud layer only makes sqlite slower. I can't see any reason not using RDS other than it's more expensive.

> The GitHub API and its code load endpoints are not reachable via IPv6

This is quite strange given the period around 2010 where there were government edicts that IPv6 must be supported. Perhaps GitHub wasn't mission critical back then.
Plaid Layoffs
Well it seems like we've detected 3 other jets pointed straight at us as the black hole devoured a star so it seems like a very common event on a geological time scale. The fact that we managed to evolve and are still here is a decent sign.

>The team says the black hole's jet may be pointing directly toward Earth, making the signal appear brighter than if the jet were pointing in any other direction. The effect is "Doppler boosting" and is similar to the amped-up sound of a passing siren.

>AT 2022cmc is the fourth Doppler-boosted TDE ever detected and the first such event that has been observed since 2011.

Also, I believe that as the universe's volume expands, the probability and intensity of being in the direct path of any particular such jet goes down. Then again, the frequency of these events may (or may not) be increasing at a rate that more than counteracts that. (I'm just speculating here, I'm not a cosmologist!)

Your comment just reads as a "just-so" story, which deems female behavior too difficult to study or understand.

It's just as pseudo-scientific if not more than the attempts at explaining group behavior and mating preferences (not this article though, it's also trash).

> I'd venture to say that what women are looking for is defined much more by their environment than their biology.

It's the classic nature vs nurture argument, for which you conveniently provide no supporting evidence. Note that I don't claim either one to be dominant or correct over the other, while you do. The burden of proof here lies on you.
There's a difference between a real friend and someone you have some affinity with and currently happen to share a community of some sort. It's fairly common to meet a friend while attending a particular elementary school, going to a church, playing a sport, but when you finish school, stop going to that church, stop playing the sport, you remain friends. It's obviously common to lose touch with a bunch of people and never talk to them again, either. Those were not your true friends.

Which raises an interesting question. Is it possible at all to have a relationship that purely takes place on a web platform that will continue after you leave the platform?

"The" communication medium your friends use seemingly shouldn't matter. A person you only interact with when there is no friction involved isn't much of a friend.
Ah, thanks, I didn't realize that. Makes more sense now.
Surprised no one has mentioned Scotland. Much less populated than England and incredible scenery. You also don’t have to go far from Glasgow to get to suitably remote parts. For example, 2 hours from Glasgow and you’re in Glencoe. Also there are many amazing islands like Mull.

Unrelated but fun fact: some heavy duty air-brake trucks can also use compressed air to start the engine, but what if your tank is flat? You can hook up one of the tires and use that to start the engine! Really neat.

Also, many trucks have both an electric starter and an air starter. I one day aspire to those kind of redundancies in a vehicle I own.
Wouldn't that be true of Macbooks as well?
You should always be scared of your innovative ideas being redeveloped by someone else. But until it’s been proven to work copycats won’t bother trying. Their goal is to get rich quick and until you’ve established your ability to make money in an empirical way it’s very unlikely someone will steal it. But once you’ve demonstrated even a modicum of success the copycats will swarm like locusts, or maybe mosquitos or hair lice or other annoying parasites.
I work at a network VAR and use it regularly though not exclusively. The big remaining limitation at the moment is the speakers are still disabled while the Asahi team works on volume safety. Other than that it's reasonably stable for non critical use but not something to be relied upon to work right by any means. I'd say give it another year unless "I want to get it to tinker" is higher on the list of reasons for getting a laptop than "I want to do work". If you need a laptop sooner than that one of the commonly recommended x86 laptops recommended by HN'ers would probably be the way to go.
The issue with this type of promotion is that you usually want to preserve the type. Like if I add two int32s, I probably want an int32 as a result.

A cooler feature would be requiring the compiler to prove the addition wouldn’t overflow.

> We're normalizing everything around the most widely palatable

My counter argument to this is that then it is the "norm" and society conditioning our taste and dictating what's palatable.

This goes as deep as influencing and forming our sexuality. We get aroused by things that would've not aroused people centuries ago, the canons of beauty themselves changed a lot.
It's been a quarter of a century since IPv6 launch.

There's some really good lessons learned here. IPv6 requires everyone, everywhere, needs to change their configuration to add IPv6 addresses and network connectivity to every node/endpoint. The madness of course is that all the underlying infrastructure software (routers, OS, standard libraries) all support IPv6. It would seem, at a large enough scale, that software is the easy part, configuration is the hard part.

DJB wrote this up two decades ago[0] and it remains relevant. In particular the comparison between IPv6 and MX records. It took me a little while to wrap my brain around just extending existing software to support sometimes 32bit and sometimes 128. Ultimately it wasn't hard to dream up a few solutions for how that would work.

The other thing, FWIW, which has been slowing IPv6 adoption is business owners not asking for it as a high priority item from their providers. I've seen this happen way more often that I would like where provider asks a customer what they want and the customer never mentions IPv6, and when prompted shrugs it off because they don't see it as a business critical (and in fairness, it hasn't been). Yes provider isn't asking the 'nerds' at their customer's businesses, but those folks also aren't the ones paying the bills so...

You can see the effect clearly in the beta.openai.com playground mode, with Show Probabilities set to Full Spectrum. Ask it to multiply two large numbers and the middle digits will be red (uncertain), fading to green on the outer digits.

It (sorta) explains this:

When you ask me to multiply two large numbers, the result I provide may not be completely accurate. This is because, as a language model, I am designed to generate natural language responses based on the input provided. I am not a calculator or a mathematical tool, and I do not have the ability to perform complex mathematical calculations with complete accuracy.

In some cases, when multiplying large numbers, the middle digits of the result may be incorrect. This is because the multiplication process involves carrying over digits and performing complex operations on large numbers. These calculations can be difficult even for humans, and they are beyond the capabilities of my underlying technology.
Lack of abstraction is also expensive: try writing something large in assembly.

I'd say that lack of a language / system of notions adequate to the subject area is expensive. The desire to describe things in a way that's efficient for a particular class of problems leads to invention of various frameworks. Say, Rails makes you hugely productive at solving a particular type of problems (see [Shopify]), though it's less than helpful if you try to apply it to unfitting problems (see [Twitter]).

And I still won't rent with Hertz again. In my experience, this company makes their computer problems the customer's fault. Thankfully I haven't been accused of stealing a rental, but I have had my vacation ruined because I rental I paid for wasn't available, and they refused to make it right. Had to file a dispute with my credit card company to get the money back.
Communal ipv4 is very problematic for certain services due to bad neighbors causing it to be blacklisted.
Yes, this top-comment is obviously wrong and mistaken if you know anything about aesthetics and architecture. The broken timelining of Modernist design is the most obvious error. I wouldn’t expect HN to get this right though.

No disrespect to Stallman, but it's hard for me to understand what problem he's trying to solve here. Various unofficial packages have made Emacs usable to me in my work as a software engineer, which combined with Emacs's unparalleled text editing capabilities and keyboard shortcuts make it a powerful tool indeed. Without many of those unofficial packages, I would be forced to use VS Code or some alternative.

In my observation, Emacs has been moving in the right direction, addressing outdated aspects and sources of lagging performance, and adding essential features like LSP support natively. I hope that Emacs contributors and maintainers can keep this focus.

I'm just an amateur, and I only do local theater. I'm very glad to be able to do programming for a living so that I can do theater the way I want to do theater, rather than having my dinner depend on whether I win an audition against long odds. It sounds like a terrible way to suck the joy out of the craft.

I have nonetheless helped a few actors build minor careers. Despite the fact that my main advice is "don't".

This was from 2015, the actual numbers are now over 25% today. Hence why the first article from days ago is so concerned with the huge increase.

>"all the kids" are not suddenly becoming trans - the incident rates in society are still extremely small.

Perhaps nothing is wrong. LGBT rates pre world war 2 was a fraction of a percent. Perhaps society has always been >25% but socially people couldnt admit to it?

>Happy to answer any other questions if needed.

What's the association between LGBT and "Commie"? There is one.
I think the default is "files-off-disk" image serving (hence NFS, etc). This can be replaced by S3 storage, with the URLs remaining the same (or maybe redirected, if you don't want to pay the bandwidth bill twice).

Serbian here. We use both latin and cyrillic and like others pointed out, it doesn't really make huge difference.

Computers can handle any kind of script, instead of figuring out how to make them more versatile, we are trying to cram every language in 26 characters.

I am in general not happy where computing is going, I feel like we can use them more to automate, augment our knowledge and enhance creativity. Instead they are used for pretty much enslaving people.

I always felt that knowing both alphabets is something that enriches me, not the opposite.

If that mosquito light works, then it will not be a niche product. If it’s like the one somebody in my household bought off instagram last summer, I think you shouldn’t throw away your deet quite yet.
