I'm in Germany not France but Pet Clauses aren't generally valid.

Garage access is only an issue if you pay for it. If you pay for a garage, the landlord has to ensure you have access and depending on the type of contract, ensure you are the only one with access (re; shared vs solo garages).

The Pet Clause thing only concerns big pets. Anything the size of a normal house cat or smaller (except actual house cats and exotic/unusual pets) requires no special permission. If larger pets are banned, this is only valid if there is a contract condition to allow the tenant to get special permission to have a cat or dog. A total and general ban of all pets is considered too disadvantageous for the tenant and thus not allowed. When asking for permission, the denial must have an explanation attached. "Pet can cause damage" isn't allowed for example, since the owner could just buy a pet insurance to cover any claims. Noise and dirt aren't either, since the landlord can require the owner to take care of that. Basically the explanation of why you deny a pet has to be something that the owner doesn't have the power to change easily, such as that the landlord is allergic and living in the flat above you or similar things.

This kinda stuff is usually added at the end of the template contract, there isn'T a lot to read so they tend to be obvious.

Traps to Avoid as a Technical Founder
> Probably the most noticeable (and sought after) out of the "lo-fi" effects is the ladder distortion effect...

My personal favourite artefact is the DX7 Mk1's trademark 'saturation'. I've never heard anyone conclusively pin down the exact source of the synth's characteristic distortion.

Plogue have done such an amazing job on their DX7 emulator. It definitely does a great job of emulating the synth's particular character.
I also write PHP every day, and the solution I've landed in is, as you suggest, Docker. With Docker and docker-compose you can put Apache config, MySQL data, etc, in your working directory which makes moving/backing up your project a lot easier.

There is however a significant overhead to Docker. Building images takes time (and you will need to build your own, if you rely on any kind of PHP extension such as mbstring, etc) and just wrapping your head around everything is harder than people make it out to be.

That being said, I used to have my own set of bash scripts to setup local virtual hosts, databases, etc, and various strategies to keep configuration contained to single projects, but things always leaked out of the boxes I tried to put it in and in the end all those strategies failed.

So, my current estimate is that Docker doesn't save me much time, but it elevates the quality of the projects I'm working on. So overall I find it worth it to put in the effort to use Docker.

> But that's a ways off.

Given the jumps in output quality between '1', '2' and '3' that may not be as far off as I would like it to be.

It reminds me of the progression of computer chess. From 'nice toy' to 'beats the worlds best human' since 1949 to 'Man vs Machine World Team Championships' in 2004 is 55 years, but from Sargon (1978) to Deep Blue (1997) is only 21 years. For years we thought there was something unique about Chess (and Go for that matter) that made the game at the core a human domain thing, but those that were following this more closely saw that the progression would eventually lead to a point where the bulk of the players could no longer win from programs running on off the shelf hardware.

GPT-3 is at a point where you could probably place it's output somewhere on the scale of human intellect depending on the quality of the prompt engineering and the subject matter. Sometimes it produces utter garbage but already often enough it produces stuff that isn't all that far off from what a human might plausibly write. The fact that we are having this discussion is proof of that, given a few more years and iterations 4, 5 and 6 the relevant question is whether we are months, years or decades away from that point.

The kind of impact that this will have on labor markets the world over is seriously underestimated, and even though GPT-3's authors have side-stepped a thorny issue by simply not feeding it information on current affairs in the training corpus if Chess development is any guide the fact that you need a huge computer to train the model today is likely going to be moot at some point, when anybody can train their own LLM. Then the weaponization of this tech will begin for real.

It's not difficult. Any problem is designer laziness. Only real problem is if white light source used have some nonlinearity with white balance, but having accurate current control isn't all that hard, just gotta use actual current control instead of just PWMing CC source with no filtering whatsoever.

The problem is exactly what you mentioned after

I have to strongly disagree with you. In my opinion a policy like this would err on valuing form over content, when content matters a great deal. Downvotes (and upvotes) can be a signal for content as well as form.

For example, an articulate, well-reasoned, passionate argument for why PHP is the best get shit done language? Sure, I can upvote that even if I firmly disagree.

But an articulate, well-reasoned, passionate argument for vi being superior to emacs? I can’t downvote fast enough, but only because we cannot burn the heretic in these enlightened times.

Just out of curiosity, how many of these novices do you expect there to be? Also if you only target this group of people who have never used Windows, how do you expect to serve the massive number of people who started with Windows and made their way to Linux? Or do we not matter compared to that other group?

There is no definitive answer to this question, as different people may have different experiences with using dark mode. Some people find that dark mode helps reduce eye strain, while others may find it more difficult to read text on a dark background. Ultimately, the best way to determine if dark mode is good for your eyes is to try it out for yourself and see how it affects your eyesight. If you notice any discomfort or difficulty reading, you may want to switch back to a lighter color scheme.
Like Shousetsuka ni Narou? I've actually seen novels originating there in an English small-town HMV with surprisingly prominent placement, and a similar amount of shelf space as Marvel and DC comics combined. Listed as "Manga Novels" for some reason. There were a few xianxia-looking titles there, but I don't follow Chinese media so I don't know whether they were originally web novels or not.

Given that HMV is a huge chain that mainly sells records and BluRays, they'd have to be pretty established to be there and not in a specialist bookseller or comic shop.

On the last paragraph: With how frequently audiences end up being dissatisfied with the endings of popular serialised works, I'm quite close to just giving up on serialised fiction entirely, or at the very least only considering reading or watching something once it's over. Whether it's manga (good anime adaptations avoid this problem, bad ones exacerbate it with filler arcs), US seasonal TV, live-service games, or novels that have "Part 1" in their title, the problems all end up being the same. Either it's unpopular and has to wrap up in less time than planned, resulting in aborted arcs and contrived endings, or it's popular and the author decides (or is encouraged by big piles of money) to drag it out beyond the original planned run, resulting in poor pacing, retcons, dubious plot twists, re-treading old narrative points and filler arcs.
I did extensive testing of various desktop environments, and KDE was consistently the most sluggish of the bunch (tested across multiple devices), even after disabling all of the eye candy. The next worst is Gnome.

XFCE is snappy, but annoying due to the 1 pixel window border that you can't ever click on a high DPI display. Mate is almost as snappy and has better UX, so I use that.

I'm really hoping it's something like progressive enhancement, but for ferries. It seems like a similar problem to web development. If you rely on JavaScript of even the most basic features, you risk having everything break, when you make a mistake in a tiny bit of JS somewhere.

There may be limits to what you can do with a modern ferry, but it would be nice that if when everything else fails, it just revert back to being a "dumb ferry". So you'd be able to use it, but only in fair weather, or with more staff, something like that. Then you yank out the broken bit and install a replacement. While knowing very little about ferries, I suspect it's the integration of systems that makes repairs difficult.
What we're looking for are high signal/noise ration posts to expand the conversation into new areas that are interesting.

If the ratio is too low (eg: spam, shallow content, same old tired point), it's not an issue to downvote IMO. That helps with the current post and also encourages good behaviour in the future.

This is not the same as downvoting with a point that you personally disagree with. This is censorship and toxic to the community.

The problem is that (1) human hardware is fixed and (2) computer hardware is variable and getting better all the time and (3) computer software is variable and getting better all the time. The question then is if and when they cross over and the recent developments in this domain have me seriously worried that such cross over is inevitable. Human/AI hybrid may well be slowed down by the human bit...
The 10°C higher average temperature during the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is a great counter example to the alarmist view. I have not seen a very persuasive argument for why it's different now. If anything, there's video clip of Schrag (Harvard climate scientist) admitting that 10°C is perfectly fine, but that it's the rate of change that's alarming. I disagree with this too, because the story of humanity is the story of migration and adaptation (out of Africa, bronze age collapse, population bottlenecks, etc.) -- and these have nothing to do with man-made climate change.

I would like to see a similar comparison, but for the latency of completing various actions, like startup time, switching windows, opening the launcher menu, navigating to a subdirectory...

These are the things that matter to me - much moreso than RAM usage. My informal anecdotal experience is that XFCE latency is nearly always imperceptible, whereas GNOME latency is nearly always perceptible.
I would argue that there is less mental burden, if you stay within some simple limits. C has a lot of complexity if you push its limits, mainly because it is so old and the limits have been pushed in ways they havent in other languages. C has to run on very strange platforms and has many many implementations, and so much code depending on it. This makes it very hard to maintain. If two large C compilers do things slightly different and very important software depends on those behaviours, then its very hard to make a "Clean" fix without breaking lots of software.

The argument against "Why dont they just fix X?" usualy commes down to: it would break millions of lines of code, make every C tutorial/book obsolete and force millions of C programmers to learn new things, not to mention that if we broke the ABI, we would break almost every other language since they depend on Cs stable ABI. Breaking C would literaly cost tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars for the industry.

Look at the move between Python 2 and 3. The cost of breaking bakwards compatibility have probably been astonomical, and then there is way less Pyton code being maintained then C code.

C operates on a scale that is almost unfathomable. A 1% perfomance degredation, in C will have ameasurable impact on the worlds energy use and co2 emissions, so the little things really matter.

Ask HN: What are some things ChatGPT isn't able to create?
I'm talking about things that should be within reach of ChatGPT, but it doesn't seem able to create.

My example would be a very specific Prometheus query to be used in an alert. The query needs to triggers the alert when the metric is zero(connected_users{} == 0) and also trigger when the metric is missing.

For this I would create a query like this:

(connected_users{} OR on() vector(0)) == 0

I've even tried to give it some hints on how to create this query but in the end he wasn't able to do it.

And that got me curious, in my mind this is something it should be able to create.

Do you have any similar examples?

They don't have to spend it per se; by conventional economic theory, as long as they keep it in the bank, it's enough. Keynes:

> Europe was so organized socially and economically as to secure the maximum accumulation of capital. While there was some continuous improvement in the daily conditions of life of the mass of the population, Society was so framed as to throw a great part of the increased income into the control of the class least likely to consume it. The new rich of the nineteenth century were not brought up to large expenditures, and preferred the power which investment gave them to the pleasures of immediate consumption. ... If the rich had spent their new wealth on their own enjoyments, the world would long ago have found such a régime intolerable. But like bees they saved and accumulated, not less to the advantage of the whole community because they themselves held narrower ends in prospect.

> Thus this remarkable system depended for its growth on a double bluff or deception. On the one hand the laboring classes accepted ... a situation in which they could call their own very little of the cake that they ... were co-operating to produce. And on the other hand the capitalist classes were allowed to call the best part of the cake theirs and were theoretically free to consume it, on the tacit underlying condition that they consumed very little of it in practice. ... And so the cake increased; but to what end was not clearly contemplated. Individuals would be exhorted not so much to abstain as to defer, and to cultivate the pleasures of security and anticipation. Saving was for old age or for your children; but this was only in theory,—the virtue of the cake was that it was never to be consumed, neither by you nor by your children after you.
I don't think you can dismiss feedback because it only came from a handful of people. The brutal fact is, if someone doesn't like you or your podcast, they're almost guaranteed to unsubscribe, close the tab, and never contact you about it. If you're getting multiple negative feedbacks on the same topic, you can bank on 10x more people thinking the same thing, but never telling you.

I ran a podcast with friends for 13 years. We took it on the chin, and paid (via patreon subs) for an audio engineer to fix the things people complained about in our show. It made a world of difference, but we'll never be able to break the "first impression" of people who didn't appreciate it, and unsubbed as a result.
I do most of my audio controls with pavucontrol (which is not a gnome extension) regardless of the DE and I don't think that running graphs to/from a wifi endpoint is something many people do on a regular basis.

And if I want graph for any kind of metrics I usually use netdata.

I think gnome defaults works for anyone that subscribe to their desktop metaphor. I like it, some don't, but I don't think that is because it is not complete. It is certainly less configurable out of the box than KDE though and I understand why some people would prefer KDE.

if the goal is to use a language for a metaverse, with lots of actors, why not use Erlang which is great for dealing with multiple actors, plus it already exists? I don't use it because I don't need it for my usual programming, but once you get some of its quirks (coming from a functional world they're even less), it's a great language.

It seems to me that the objective is not finding a good language for a metaverse, but using the idea of a metaverse to justify this new language.

More realistically, an open metaverse (if it will see existence, I'm not yet convinced of its utility) will support multiple languages.

Even more realistically, the internet is a metaverse already.

Yes, in other words, IBM compatibles became a gaming platform by chance because of its success in the business world, not because of the FM sound.

Piracy I think is a wash. Sure, it let us play more of the games that existed for the platform, but probably limited investment, in ports in particular.

Yes, in the beginning Sound Blaster cards had the same chip, but eventually they switched to a clone/emulation. But quite possibly it didn't matter much, since most general midi soundtracks made so poor use of the chipset.
> Turning down the brightness on a display is not really the solution because most displays use pulse width modulation so you are just exchanging brightness for flicker and strobing effects.

Gotta add this to my list of ways the market fails us that I wish I know how to correct. I get that PWM is an useful, probably most cost-efficient approach, but that doesn't explain so many shitty implementations I see even in expensive devices. In case of lights, it's harmful to a subset of people who notice this. It also ruins video recordings (less so these days - camera software now tries to compensates for it).

Then I see the same in electric and induction stoves, and microwave ovens - power level control implemented as sub-1Hz PWM (at this point the right term is probably "bang-bang controller"). I don't know about designers of those appliances, but my cookware and the stuff I cook often doesn't have enough thermal mass to "smooth out" the pulses - 50% of power implemented by heating at 100% for 3 seconds, and then 0% for 3 seconds, means my food gets overheated anyway, just half as fast, and I get to be annoyed by the sound of a clicking relay.
People have differing opinions on downvoting. The majority seems to think that disagreement is enough. Personally, I'm in the same camp as you: a comment has to actively detract from the conversation to get my downvote. I don't see HN changing in that regard though.

Requiring a comment is probably a bit much, but I do think two separate downvote buttons would be helpful to the commenter, even if only they could see this feedback. Maybe one link labeled with "disagree" and one with "low quality" or something. UI-wise this would have the added benefit of letting new users know that HN officially expects them to consider both options.
You could just keep to RAID 1. btrfs raid is at filesystem level, so RAID 1 with more than 2 drives just means 2 copies spread across those drives, so you benefit from the increased storage space like RAID 5 (albeit slightly less) but of course unlike normal RAID 1 still have 1 drive fault tolerance across the entire array.
