> FOSS apps and software were not optimized for adoption, but as a healthy alternative to further an ecosystem of open development and continue progress when others halt.

I don't see why you can't have both? It seems silly to say that FOSS as a category is not optimized for adoption because there are plenty of widely adopted counterexamples like Linux and Firefox. And in the case of a mobile email client—something that a huge portion of the population uses—why can't/shouldn't it be a daily driver for non-technical users?

> K9 is an example of an app that needs to update their UI. But it is also an app that needs to take its great set of features and innovate a little further on them.

Can't you do both? What am I missing here?
more of a Jevons question, but do you also agree that the increasing use of 'renewable' energy like solar/wind will bring about an explosion in total energy demand/use?

Tell HN: Cloudflare and Scaleway have a peering issue
For close to ~35 hours, Scaleway have this status update [1] with no meaningful change. Issues is some requests coming from Cloudflare to origins in the Scaleway PAR region, are either timing out (520s, or taking very long to finish. Outgoing traffic looks affected too.

This affects even Scaleway own website/docs and control panel.

We have opened a ticket, to which the answer was - we can't give move information than in the ticket, the issues is on the Cloudflare side.

Scaleway have a Slack community [2] where more details are present, and many people are having the same issues.

We opened a ticket with Cloudflare where we are also a paying customer (a Pro one), again no answer for 15 hours.

Anyone having ideas, what can we do as a customer (except activating DR plans and moving altogether), to solve such an issue? I tried checking the Scaleway netmap to see who is really to blame [3], but I can't see a route from Cloudflare (I assume it is just under some IX).

The whole thing is even stranger, having in mind Scaleway and Cloudflare are partners, which I assume should make solving such issues faster. [4]

It's just a way of thinking, and is very learnable if you want to. If you have C1 english those clues don't require any language ability you don't have, but you do need familiarity with the rules and idioms of crossword clues.

When I first attempted cryptic crosswords it would take me hours to solve a single clue. Now I've been solving them for years and the ones in the article took seconds.

I can highly recommend it. It's a great pastime.
Disagree here. The laws are pretty well established when it comes to physical objects and renting. Electronics are a bit more unsettled. I rotate the pin of the electronic keylock once a month for your security ... when you stop paying rent- whether I need to give you the new code is a bit more fuzzy I think.

Anyway if you have to harass a tenant I think that cutting off electricity is the best way. Renders a home almost unusable. But it is not really vital.
There's a big difference between going to NYC and LA vs visiting small towns close to coast.

And visiting a one-sided 50% is still missing a big portion. That's like saying that if you visit Germany/France/UK, you've seen all the europe. Nordics and East be damned because it's less than 50% of population so who cares. But then you end up with very skewed view of what europe is.
> You gotta love how a roughly %3 decrease in year-to-year revenue leads to a %97 decrease in the stock price and an increase in the net loss from ~$30 million to ~$300 million

It's not that surprising. Revenue is worth nothing without a healthy margin, and that's where Carvana seems to have a problem. This quickly turns a company which could be profitable if it didn't invest as much into the future, into a company that is bleeding money and might be headed for bankruptcy. It explains a big part of the change in valuation.
>>Who wants to buy a car without looking at it? Without getting inside and feeling how it handles?

Apparently, most people nowadays. I spoke to my Volvo salesguy that I bought my car from just before the pandemic, and he said the biggest change with the market post-pandemic is that customers in general just don't care about test drives. They either ring up and order what they want, they order using an online form, or if they come in they just go "the one like this one here please". It's weird to me too, but apparently that's what happens nowadays.
Disclaimer: This is written by a non-user purely about observations made about TikToks that were posted elsewhere. It is also not a statement of any kind of china issues with TikTok.

What I see is amazing. Sea Shanties that were mainly for seamen and some German metalheads became popular again, suddenly everyone knew Wellerman, there were tons of covers, everything.

Remixes, something that YouTube long ago forgot about (probably copyright laws, those tend to stifle creativity) are commonplace, people build on releases of others over and over again, creating a completely new and amazing endresult.

What I see from TikTok, is a return to the creativity of years ago.

edit: Because people thought of established artists when I mentioned remixes, I’ll clarify. I mean taking some person singing or playing an instrument, adding yourself playing guitar, putting it to the side of the original and releasing it. Then the next person adds a violin. And so on. Just non-commercial remix culture.
Don't you say flat? And I think a condo is a flat with access to facilities?
There are good reasons not to. A lot of apartments here have security devices which will call for assistance when the power is turned off. Then there are devices that expect power 24/7 like fridge. Also, since I was abroad, I relied on the Internet that was at the apartment that would be cut off if the power was turned off.

Also... you know... there are these funny little devices called switches that allow you to turn individual devices on and off without cutting power to entire apartment. Just saying...

i'm leaning kotlin at the moment then get up to speed on android dev so i can put together a simple app i don't want to pay someone else to do for me. and i'm bored to death already. if i could have chatgpt do it for me, cool.

guess i will find out.

Is there an AI that can accurately label pictures? The examples I've seen so far can recognize a few animals and objects and that's it.

There are people in that photo, sure, but are they wearing a jacket or a bikini? Are they happy or sad? Which model and make is that car?

Google Photos seems to do a better job at this in general but doesn't expose the tags, you can only search them.

I don't have a theory (other that both CBDCs and cryptocurrencies are dumb). I'm merely pointing out that the idea that CBDCs are absolute evil while bitcoin is absolutely against evil is rather inconsistent in light of the fact that some of the people behind CBDCs are also involved with bitcoin.
> Orders of magnitude more than a web response

That's likely where our different assesments come from, then. I was thinking more along the lines of "it's parallalelizable and easily offloaded to the client".

An addendum for completeness' sake, though :)

> What you're suggesting is that

Not entirely. I'd build a LUT of "how high up must you be to be visible here" per "pixel", instead of "is the ground here visible", which I'd argue is more useful for modelling here.

I didn't spell it out explicitly, but that's not the case if you do your projections right. (And you have to project, as SRTM data is always relative to the EGM96 geoid.)
> the overhead costs are insanely low and are only one time for deployment with unlimited use, no other cloud deployment platform offers that

Every cloud platform has a free tier that can probably handle the entirety of crypto, and then some.

As an introvert, becoming an extrovert always comes across as playing a role, being an actor, my character is introvert and anything else is acting.

So for me, an introvert can't become an extrovert, but an introvert can play at being an extrovert.

Most excellent!

If Github supported it alongside markdown, this would drive the markdown parsers to support this as a flavor, and then the community could decide; it will be fascinating to analyze the open-source population.

I'm finding dozens of applications for a lingua franca of mildly-structured, human-readable language that transforms as easily into data as documents and UI's. I've built out 10+ markdown applications using 3-4 parsers, and always had to reduce the effective semantics to a small subset of features, and then had to use metadata or convention to do what attributes will do much more cleanly.

As for Lua: yes it's the best for integrating into pandoc performance-wise, but ay! the table structures and metadata tables to get anything like typing are mind bending, and I am still miffed at being blocked at a critical time by a bug in pandoc's lua initializer for tables.

Aside language/stdlib developers, jgm is my greatest benefactor, and he deserves a cadre of loyal and competent implementors.
Art is not about technique. Sure, artists experiment with technique, but that is only a means to a creative end.

I'm not sure that's common. When I bought a used car in Colorado I was handed the title at the time of purchase and still had a massive pain registering in time. (My apartment complex contracts with a predatory towing company that makes money by finding reasons to tow your car and charging you for the car's return. One of their excuses is not registering fast enough)
The distance selling regs with cars in the UK have always been a bit funny. Basically yes, they apply, and yes, you can test the car once you receive it, but put anything more than a dozen miles on it and dealers will argue(sucessfully!) that the car no longer fulfils the "must be in the same condition you received it in" criteria. Also distance selling regs don't apply to custom items, so if yours was built to order, you don't get that at all.

Basically with Cazoo you get 7 days, but also a certain mileage, and they won't ask any questions within that time or distance, they will just accept the return. You could probably try forcing them to take the car back within 14 days based on the distance selling regs, but if you've driven the car at all, in my experience you're going to have a really tough time doing so.

In my case I don’t enter my home through the garage when leaving the house for the dog or just walking to the local shops and beach.

I solved opening the garage door when leaving by a much simpler approach: “Alexa, I’m leaving”(regex for various phrases) along with an Aqara button if I was on the phone.

For arrival of my car only, and not triggering when I would walk nearby (park and beach 1 block in either direction), I had home assistant dialed in to notice the Bluetooth connection to my cars audio by its ID from within the app etc. along with the proximity and whether I was moving towards or away. Away would close and towards would of course open. This was particularly tricky but as you explain always failsafes in place: garage door opener in car and for the opening mechanism was set to close in 2 mins but reset if there was motion in the garage. If I was marked away and there was motion in the garage it would close and also sound an audible alarm.

None of those of course would have been possible without NodeRed. It’s so much fun to use.

>Perhaps TikTok's algorithm is as corrupt as Brian Epstein (allegedly) buying up early Beatles' singles to take them into the charts. So what?

I'd imagine the scale of being able to do so globally, across multiple genres is significantly more impactful than the actions of one person, no matter how powerful they were.
The real problem (in the US) is that for many many people on the app there’s absolutely nothing real to really look forward to. There’s a bit of a doom on a lot of the younger generations who are gonna be the ones to handle the effects of climate change, have insane costs of living, education, and healthcare. They have zero representation in any policymaking, as they enter their 20s to their 30s and now their 40s.

Let them have a thing that makes their day a little brighter, or if you’re in an older generation encourage your peers to get out of the way so they can fix the damn problems.

The worsening trend is what it takes to survive, let alone thrive in the US, and tiktok is something that people would pay less attention to if there were more agency to have better lives and not just slave it away for some holding company’s shareholders.

No, it can actually be taught that something was incorrectly and will learn it (temporarily?).

But it is still just way off base on plenty of things to the point where a small children can easily surpass it. It is marvelously good at digging up information written/created by humans, it is not good at all at creating novel thought.

Probably the best comparison is someone very very booksmart, but very very dumb otherwise. So not many/any jobs will be replaced by it, maybe these “how can I help you” bots become somewhat useful at last.
I wonder how many of the commenter here have actually ridden a bike?

Anyhow, one conveniently unasked question is "what do bike helmets protect the rider from"

Well, it isn't collisions with cars. It is unlikely to be brain injury. It isn't jaw fractures.

We know this because the lack of research in all these areas is almost non-existent.

The best we can say is that a loss of control incident (not a vehicle collision) may be mitigated in some dimension by wearing a helmet.

Pretty much all other assertions are just that, assertions with no basis in science. A single study doesn't count as basis.

There is however a lot of evidence for risk taking behaviours on the behalf of drivers. That's why 39,000 people were killed in road collions in the USA in 2020. 45% of them caused by speeding, alcohol impairment, or not wearing a seat belt.
Not wearing a seat belt is different to not wearing a bike helmet due to the extreme difference in speeds, collision dynamics and kinetic energy. Remember mv^2.

Grammar pet peeve: this is the wrong way to use “let alone.” The “bigger” thing should be listed second, not first:

“He wasn’t capable of lifting a mouse, let alone a 500-lb weight!”

“She couldn’t see her hand in front of her face, let alone an iceberg on the horizon!”

So in your example, you would say “I have friends who can’t stay focused for more than a few minutes, let alone watch a movie or read a book.”
Very good. I have looking for a microcontroller module a bit greater than ESP32-WROVER but most of them don't have wifi, and/or are way more expensive. 64MB PSRAM seems to be a good size. The zigbee connectivity is also a differential for IoT devices. I also taking a look on Olinuxino if I need more CPU power than this.
Literally this.

Yes, you can automate LEGO trains with Pybricks. See https://beta.pybricks.com/

Pybricks lets you run MicroPython scripts on the hub. Once loaded onto the hub, you can just start the script again by pressing the button. No constant connection required.

You can even add sensors that count the track sleepers so you can get a constant speed no matter the load. Here's a demo with code.

https://pybricks.com/projects/sets/city/60198-cargo-train/sp...

You can also automate the switches so you can get pretty creative with your layouts:

https://www.facebook.com/Pybricks/videos/989683888156075

With enough supporters, we may eventually even add a block-coding language as an alternative to MicroPython.
You're not scared of talking to large groups per se (I'd call 75 large). So it seems you're sensitive to perceived status. But they are your team. I dare to guess you think about the outcome and might be afraid it's going to go sideways.

> but that the last 10% is going to take a long time to attain, and may not be reachable with the current approach.

I would argue it is much more than 10% (anything about reasoning is basically missing/just imitation), and the current model won’t really scale in that direction.
I'm aware don't know what I'm talking about, but are you sure it's that simple? I feel the EU leaders would fear looking() weak/appeasing Putin/giving him time, money and access to resources to rebuild a war machinery, so, is "sanctions reversal" and not giving Ukraine defense really on the table?

Only if Putin is badly beaten would the surrender be accepted as genuine, nowadays no one in NATO believes that he'll keep his promises. IMO of course.
