Credit card reward systems & points are not free. Comes at the cost of higher transaction fees that eventually get passed on to the customer.

I’ve found these schemes much less prevalent in Europe (with the exception of AMEX, but half of the vendors in Europe seems to not accept that anyway).

On top of that, in the EU, interchange fees are capped to 0.3% of the transaction for credit cards and to 0.2% for debit cards. This prevents it from becoming the points hell of the US market.
Neither Apple nor Microsoft are supporting WASM on the desktop. Being able to run basic command line programs on top of POSIX? Sure, that'll be possible. But that's also already possible without WASM, and yet still very rarely done.

Having actually portable APIs and abstractions such that you don't need to be concerned with differences in file paths, system behaviors, system services, audio, video, windowing, input, etc...? Yeah, WASM isn't the answer to that and it's not trying to be either.

The reason Java/.NET "failed" had nothing to do with being driven by only one player and everything to do with the abstractions are so high level at that point as to be problematic. Which you either need to fully embrace, and end up with Electron, or you end up trying to reinvent WxWidgets or AWT and the clunky compromises that result where it's really just easier to build a platform-specific binary

Also both Google and Microsoft have (or currently have) their own Java bytecode runtimes. So that's not even locked up by one player, and just compare Android vs. desktop JVM to see the inevitable future of "portable WASM"

> I am not sure why GrapheneOS doesn't get mentioned here on HN

Probably because with GrapheneOS you have to rely on Android phone vendors which lock down the devices more every year. In my opinion, this is not a sustanable solution in the long term. GNU/Linux phones could be more sustainable.
Ask HN: Where can I discuss random ideas?
I often have a thought or insight and I want to have a conversation about it with interested people. Usually the quality of discussion is best on HN. Sometimes you get a good response to an Ask HN, sometimes it doesn't feel like the right place to post it.

I always struggle to find the best place to generate the best discussion. It's like its spread across Reddit, Discord, Slack, HackerNews, Twitter, etc.

Anyone else struggle with this?
I agree on python libraries. There are probably contextual/philosophical reasons why the dependency management works the way it does, but I also don't use it a ton so its not obvious to me. RubyGems with Bundler and Node with NPM/Yarn have pretty much just worked for me. Pip and pipenv just feel clunkier somehow and there seems to be more tweaking to get things working.

Speaking of USPS knowing what they're doing, their address normalization replaces our city name with the broader "Minneapolis," but multiple delivery services use that normalization without flowing the zip code through to directions lookup (whether a tech issue or driver retyping omission), which results in drivers calling us from another suburb 15 minutes away as the pizza goes cold.

The crypto ladder of insanity:

1) Fiat is controlled by government --- we don't trust it.

2) I know --- let's build de-centralized, trustless money without government.

3) Yikes! Government must save us from the fraud hellscape we have naively created.

4) But wait --- isn't crypto with government oversight and control basically just fiat all over again?

5) Crypto isn't trustworthy, I think we'll just stick with fiat
--- the unwashed masses.

6) Wait, without the masses on board, crypto can never be a real functioning currency.

7) I think we'll just stick with fiat --- cryptobros.

I think we're currently at about step 4 or 5.

OIDC that is a good alternative. This GitHub Action uses OIDC to authenticate the workflow to confirm secrets are only given to the authorized job.
The differences between OIDC and MFA for publishing credentials are:
1) More control: each release gets gated by human intervention, requiring MFA to publish.
2) Separation of duties: Just because one has "write" access to the code/ workflow does not automatically permit them to publish.
3) Less management overhead: With MFA, there is no need to set up OIDC trust policies (which need to be configured accurately). This removes the need to manage a separate set of deployment credentials/ policies.
This is where Golang shines, you can run it as a single executable on Win/Mac/Linux at a small size without pre-install a package system(e.g. pip). I just wish Golang can have a cross platform GUI one day(like swing on Java that is), Wails looks promising.

Golang does have weakness as Python, both are pretty much irrelevant on Android and iOS by design, sadly.
"I work for an agency that routinely gains people's trust in order to betray it, but I trust them and they would never betray me" seems to be the default belief for this lot, so maybe it isn't so far fetched.
Could crypto help here, at least for customers who have some in a wallet ready to use?

When I checked about 2 years ago, transferring bitcoin from one wallet to another was negligibly cheap, although I think it took about 20 minutes for the seller to be certain that the bitcoin had been sent to them (too slow for most website payments).

Curious to know if crypto could solve this problem though, if not now, maybe in the future. If some of the 9% fees were passed on to customers in the form of lower prices, it could be quite appealing and give a price advantage (if only a few %) over competitors.
Is the US chinese-owned because it's amongst the top holders of the US's debt then? Of course not.

In the US, opium and cocaine were not regulated federally until the Harrison Act of 1914. So "a century".

The first opium war started in 1839, so even in China, "not quite two centuries" is much more accurate than "centuries at least".

A good argument could be made that these substances weren't really banned in the US until the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The word "decades" is pretty reasonable.
Thank you, that helped me. Had a quick glance at the documentation and it seemed solid indeed.
It is interesting though, most people use it just to avoid creating a new username/password on a random site. Usually there is no intention to grant access to any data maintained on the IDP's site. I know the concept of granting such access is the whole point of OAuth but honestly seems like a rarely needed use case.
Not really. The gp is complaining about the lack of semantics about what a missing value means. `String?` still doesn't tell me what not having a string means. `String|NotProvided` or `String|NotFound` or `String|InvalidInput` all have the same functionality as `String|null` but tells me something about what the missing value is indicating.
How many articles about Twitter have you seen make the front page in the last month?

Even when the /newest page was flooded with them and people were writing posts like

"Tell HN: We're sick and tired of hearing about Twitter"

almost nothing was making the front page and I am pretty sure it was being suppressed. I see woke/anti-woke and trans/anti-trans articles sometimes get quite a few votes on newest and even break through to the front page but they rarely last long.

The whole point of HN is it is doesn't traffic in outrage. I might post something about political science but I won't post anything about politics. Once in a while you can stoke some outrage about how Google killed your favorite product or how you got bullied in elementary school but it is not like Twitter which is filled with pithy slogans and people complaining that they are being censored when all they are trying to do is assert their membership in a tribe.

(Somebody should start a site called "me too" where there is no censorship because you can assert your membership in your tribe by clicking the "me too" button. What's valuable about speech, priceless even, is people having the opportunity to really think about something and say something original. If people are "free" to spout nonsense through a megaphone there's not a lot of value in that.)

Anyway when I hear people complain about censorship I can't help but think about this song:

Another fun one I've gotten bitten by a lot is that the /etc/cron.* directories are run sequentially, so if someone who doesn't know this put some long running process in it, ideally with a name that sorts first, it blocks everything else in that directory. (I personally know this, obviously, since I'm saying it now, but I've been bitten by the other people who do not realize this and do not think about how putting a process that may run for three hours at the beginning of cron.hourly means that the other processes may not run for that long.)
> The NHS has a record budget of £200 billion for 2022

Spending over the last couple of years is obviously going to be an outlier due to the effects of COVID and COVID restrictions.

> How much extra money do they need

The strangling of the NHS has been occurring over many years, so it's difficult to give a simple figure in response.

But it is telling that in 2016 junior doctors organised the first general NHS strike in 40 years in response to Hunt's contract scrapping overtime rates while increasing overtime hours. We now have a serious issue with junior doctors leaving the NHS: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hsr2.419

This year the Royal College of Nursing organised a strike for the first time in its 100+ year history, in response to years of below-inflation pay rises.

In 2018, the Health Foundation put out a response to the government's proposed budget increase of 3.4%:

https://www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/news/health-found...

> Increases of at least 4% a year are the minimum needed to tackle the backlog of financial problems from eight years of austerity. Increases of just 3.4% a year mean longer waits for treatment, ongoing staff shortages, deterioration of NHS buildings and equipment, and little progress to address cancer care.

> It’s worrying that yet again, the funding increase appears to only apply to NHS England’s budget. This excludes vital areas of health spending such as staff training, capital investment and public health. There are at least 92,000 staff vacancies in the NHS and public health spending fell by a fifth in real terms between 2013/14 and 2018/19.

£200 billion looks like a big number, but it's meaningless when critical front-line services are seeing real-terms cuts. There is a consistent pattern of the government cutting investment to the front line, ignoring the objections, and deflecting blame when the inevitable consequences occur. We are seeing those consequences not because the NHS is inherently wasteful, but because the government is choosing to make public services look like they perform badly.

It's a term made up to embarrass newcomers. Cultural differences are not right or wrong, they just are.

Firefox can't do sound with raw ALSA. No, I know that doesn't explain why PulseAudio exists. But I think Pipewire can do more - isn't it supposed to be able to move video around as well as audio? Or something.

I also just use raw ALSA. It's there anyway, it works, and I don't need more daemons (I don't need NetworkManager either).
The US position is just politics between super powers. They’re literally sending high technology weapons to counter China.

>they tried to remove any memory of Alexander

First time I have heard that. I thought it was the opposite. All his generals wanted to have his greatness rub off on them and made sure his greatness was disseminated and elevated. Deifying him and starting the cult of Alexander that lasted for half a millennia, while the tomb of his mummified corpse was a site of pilgrimage for just as long. Do you have any sources I could read on suppressing Alexander's memory?
My personal experience is the opposite-- although this behavior perhaps isn't desirable for end users who don't want to fiddle with their codec selection, being able to switch between A2DP and HSP manually in pavucontrol provides me with a much superior experience compared to Windows which would a) keep my headset in HSP because of some rogue application with a stuck open mic and make it really difficult to track it down/undo it and b) (rarely) keep my headset in A2DP while an application is attempting to grab audio or switch it to A2DP in the middle of meetings and break everything until I restart the application trying to use my mic. In my experience, a manual codec switch is a much smoother experience, ironically.

Don't forget that while you might not notice a 20 minute video taking 1.2 seconds more than 20 minutes - but you will notice if the audio plays at the correct speed and ends after exactly 20 minutes - and you will probably notice before the video ends.
Howdy, I just added scripting support.

I don't think so, since Janet advertises itself as an embedable Lisp like Lua or Guile (and ECL). But yes, in the sense it comes with batteries included. Like Babashka, I guess.

Thanks for your initial question!

and more.

Yeah, I used to live in the Colorado mountains. There were two ways to my house. A slow 10-mile long dirt road or a faster 12 mile long highway followed by a 2 mile back-track on a very serious off road trail that I would only take my most-built-up Jeep on. Google maps kept telling people to go the off-road way where of course there's also no cell signal. I had to start telling people to explicitly use MapQuest (yes, MapQuest) to get to my house because Google and the others never figured out the way that an actual car could get to my house.

You could mount the cooler directly on top of the die with the Athlon XP. Turns out people kept damaging the CPU, hence the switch back to heatspreaders.

Permanently attaching a cooler to the CPU itself doesn't really seem like a viable option to me. Mounting it to the motherboard would be a nightmare, and you'd end up creating a one-size-fits-nobody cooling solution. Nobody would be happy with the cooler you end up choosing.

In reality, cooling paste really isn't that big of a deal.
The UX for the authorization prompt is awful. The only difference between a regular sign in prompt and authorizing access to repositories is a single word: "Repositories".

It's so weird to me how rare it is that the leaders of countries are executed by the population and to even call for that upsets people regardless of what their reign is like.

There's almost no incentive to be a good leader since if it all falls apart you'll just end up living luxuriously in another country.

In the modern web application architecture, a somewhat "static" frontend uses the API to talk to the backend, so an API is a requirement.

Absolutely, you can use Tor over a local Socks5 proxy that the daemon exposes, so you can do pushes over SSH as normal. Works perfectly fine.

> because it's too absurd on its face

I'd suggest its absurdness is exactly what appeals to the people who like to 'argue the case'. I'm not a big Terry Pratchett fan, but my understanding is that his books are set on a flat earth and he has some fun in the books in 'explaining' how this flat earth 'works' (explanations which are of course, playfully absurd). I'm not calling Pratchett a flat earther here but simply suggesting the same 'fun in nonsense' motivation is in operation with flat earthers, while they go further with their nonsense by maintaining that they are being 'absolutely serious'.

Re Scientology and Mormonism - both have are an ideology and have an agenda. (Stating this neutrally; I'm personally not interested in or sympathetic to either religion but some ppl find value in those two ideologies and the values/aims they seek to promote.) Flat Earthism doesn't have any ideology or agenda, as far as I am aware. So the absurd narrative explanation they concoct is harmless (and indeed, I think this is partly why they chose it - it's not harming anyone to 'promote' the idea of a flat earth).
There was no unit testing, no valgrind or anything like that, no documentation... I mean, honestly, other than the fact it compiled, worked, and was broadly speaking safe to use by virtue of not being on the network (it's a batch conversion process with the input being fairly rigidly constrained, no external user input basically), it didn't have much of anything else going for it. I think what comments it had in it may even have been wrong; I didn't stare at it enough to be sure. My intuition says it should have been running about 10 times faster than it was, too. Not sure if I'm just too used to multithreaded performance nowadays, if there was actually something wrong in there, or if I was wrong for some reason.
