I'm the co-founder of a company that builds a reusable shipping box system for e-commerce in Germany. These newly propsed rules are very interesting; they set the right incentives for the market to more quickly switch to reusable shipping boxes. Specifically for e-commerce, the set targets are: 10% of shipping boxes reusable by 2030, 50% by 2040.

Single-use cardboard is very wasteful, even if recycled. Reusing shipping boxes is much better in terms of waste, CO2 and water usage. However, it's expensive and generally a PITA for e-commerce merchants to implement a reusable system themselves. That's why my company is building a centralized system, into which e-commerce merchants can simply plug and play.

If you're an e-commerce merchant in Germany, feel free to reach out to me: can@getravioli.de
Don't want to hijack topic but my post on FINRA got flagged. I am interested in your read of the trading halt of MMTLP two days before the ticker was supposed to be deleted. Previously trading was supposed to go on until the 12th, investors could sell. But after FINRA halted the trading, investors were left with the shares to be converted to a new company shares at some future date. https://investorplace.com/2022/12/investors-petition-for-fin...
I've been trying for a week now to get Windows to properly suspend and stay suspended on a Thinkpad X1. Even after changing the BIOS to "Linux" mode (S3 Sleep), fiddling with drivers and the registry, and issuing powercfg commands it's still flaky. The function keys to change audio settings also work poorly sometimes. These are the kinds of issues we used to have when trying to bring up Linux on a laptop. But now it's flipped. Linux on Thinkpads works great for me out of the box and I even get to set it up just like I want it (e.g., tiling WM).

For my own use I'd have just given up and installed Linux on this machine as well but I have to dogfood this for everyone else in the company. I'm starting to try out using web versions of everything, particularly Microsoft Office, in the hope that ChromeOS is actually a hope for a usable desktop for unsophisticated corporate users.
Say what you will about Trump (lots of bad stuff to say in that regard), but this was specifically one of his campaign promises and after years of legal / bureaucratic battles we at least have some more records

That said, I don’t understand why these types of requests take so long… this event was quite literally a life time ago. Anyone involved would long be dead or incapable of standing trial.
Yeah, reading that table, the "hack" would be to use "Intel® Xeon® Platinum 92XX" (or similar high throughput intel offering) with an 0.5 multiple.

Does an oracle license pay attention to partial core things like hyperthreading or other speculative execution things? If so, you'd want to turn that off for the intel offerings.

And run one socket to maximize memory bandwidth.
If OBS and WebRTC can get to ~120ms, it seems like there are some low-hanging fruits here
That is amazing! A true example of inspiration by Fuller… these people get it. Instead of writing yet another useless “thinkpiece” about the limitations of Fullers ideas, they were inspired to do even more with even less!

Edit: this idea could be easily executed with carbon tent poles and a nice waterproofed canvas tarp over the top. A portable, easy to build and durable DIY building more substantial than a nylon tent.
Maybe so that they conform to eating meat, and stop introducing surrogates and meat-free variations of established, traditional, culturally sacred dishes. This tends to upset carnivores, from my observations.
We are using Oracle for something that could fit into SQLite. I am sure we overpay by 100x to 1000x. (To be fair, yes FOSS can be free as in beer, but big corps need/want to pay for support contracts, either directly with the vendor, or indirectly via RedHat, etc.) I agree 100% about PG. It is ridiculously good these days. To be fair, MariaDB is also very good for most use cases in 2022.

I asked the same question at my office. The answer surprised me: We are a big corp who pays Oracle squillions of dollars for all kinds of licenses (DB, Java, hardware, other stuff). They said: If we cut our 20x global DBs from this project, probably Oracle will just increase license fees elsewhere. I was told we probably need total exit from Oracle DBs (whole company, which probably has 1000s of Oracle DBs). That is tough.

Still, it is weird to me that we don't hire 2-5 (10!) ridiculously skilled (and expensive) "old school database consultants" -- you know what I mean: neckbeards (gents), librarian glasses with little chain around neck (ladies), big hair (both!), corduroy pants, jackets with elbow patches, turtlenecks... the full 1990s package. Move them from team to team over next 10 years. Step by step: Replace Oracle with PG or MariaDB. I am sure it would pay for itself 100x.
Implantable contact lenses (ICL) are low risk and can be changed if needed. I'm still happy I got the surgery 10 years ago, is a good alternative to LASIK
The last merged commit to Atom added a TODO
That’s a better deal than college :)
There is no proof that actually happend.
I had a similar experience with a workplace machine. It worked flawlessly. But, sometimes, I went to make myself coffee or to the bathroom, and when I was back, the system just never woke up from sleep.

I try setting the machine to sleep and manually waking it up. No problem.

Later, I spent some time watching a long youtube video, then I opened the terminal and then the OS crashed.

Dmesg? It showed nothing

But, sometimes, when I tried to launch the terminal, I tried running htop and then the OS hanged. I had the feeling that it was something HD related.

I restarted the machine, updated the kernel, asked the forums, everything. No answer.

It was my work machine. They let me install Linux but I couldn't spend so much time with the OS. I need to have work done. Otherwise I need to bail and go back to Windows (ugh).

I was about to delete Linux from the laptop, but I had an idea: The machine was a Thinkpad T1. I looked on the Arch Wiki about compatibility with that laptop. If the problem came from an incompatibility with the hardware, it will surely show up there. The machine showed up in a list and according to the wiki, there's nothing related to a crash or a freeze.

Then, I looked up on lshw if there was any piece of hardware that was different of what the Thinkpad has by defaults.

The result? A Kingston 1TB SSD. I googled "Linux Kingston ssd lock up", "Linux Kingston ssd crash".

It turns out, some Kingston SSDs don't support all the deep sleep levels of energy saving. I needed to switch some off with a kernel parameter.

I never had any problems with that machine again.
Data can be created and used for a legitimate purposes, using this data for aerospace safety is a positive and legitimate use of the data. Hobbyist use of the day could be considered legitimate and appropriate as well. However, the same data can be used for negative reasons too.

I don’t question the legal right to use this data this way, although I think good arguments could be made that if you are using the data this way, your intention is suspicious and you invite scrutiny. I am challenging the folks commenting here that the data being used this way is a positive use of the data.

I have always been interested in technology and the potential for it to change the world, and that is what initially drew me to the web3 world. I am excited to be a part of this growing and dynamic community.

Since I didn't have any experience in deploying or creating a Web3 project, I contacted Rather Labs (https://www.ratherlabs.com), a Blockchain page that helps people to create Web3 projects.

From that moment on, my project was created and fully working. I hope this page can help contribute to the growth and development of the web3 world. If you have any questions or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.
Because this is how GitLab did it. Started with open source w/ closed parts, then progressively hid source and ways to download and install GitLab on your own infrastructure.

Currently (as I checked 30 seconds ago), downloading and installing is easy, but finding the small "Install" text on the bottom of the page is not. You need to further dig the docs to find the location of the source in the webpage, too.

Everybody assumes that Gitea took the first step towards this state, and they are right to assume that, because we have no other prominent examples.

And I tend to agree with them, too.
AFAIK if this is true then he's breaking the law, since ADS-B is legally required in the US.
If a problem has a complicated solution, it is a complicated problem to begin with.

In this case, we have a much stronger guarantee of simplicity than, for example, with mathematical problems that are easy to explain but might lead into unexplored territory: a missing piece in Panini's treatise is something that he definitely figured out in his time, so it is well within the reach of today's linguists.
That isn't the problem. The problem is that it is illegal to build the apartment building. That has nothing to do with organic growth.
Assuming some government agency actually did kill Kennedy, how long would they have to wait until admitting what happened would carry no consequences? I feel that it really wouldn't be that long. 100 years? Less?

> I spent several hours fixing a problem and I learned next to nothing in the process. This trick is unlikely to be useful again. By the time I encounter something similar, it is likely I will have forgotten about the solution.

So much of modern programming in general is like this because of the always changing languages, libraries, tools, software, hardware etc. such that when you're coding you have to accept it will keep happening occasionally no matter how experienced you get so you don't get too wound up about it. It's especially discouraging when you're starting out too and don't know this yet.
I think that's a pretty bad choice of comparison. For one, they're two products under the same company. Secondly, Visual Studio is a bit of a dinosaur that suffers (and somewhat benefits) from a long history so it's easy for the VSCode team to look at that and just trim the fat and correct mistakes. They also target somewhat different domains with Visual Studio having a longer history in C++ and VSCode being more geared towards web dev (yes I know it's widely used for other languages but web is the leader and obvious target). Visual Studio is also by far not the best in its class, using IntelliJ products side by side with Visual Studio is like night and day especially when it comes to C++. A better comparison for VSCode would be something like Sublime Text since it's in the same product space of "lightweight" code editors with a focus on web.
GP is aware of that. They are pointing one out that they believe does not belong on the list.
Moreover, there is no easy way to download and see the whole image once you notice this problem. Even if you try to look at the page source, the reference to the image is extremely obfuscated (on purpose?).
I wouldn’t do that. You’d lose a lot people. As it is, take home assignments cost me a lot on the risk/reward scale.
> Anyone involved would long be dead or incapable of standing trial.

If, for example, some documents include details of spies in Russia never uncovered, even if those folks have retired/died, their network (and its recruited descendants) might well still be operating.
People say you can buy commercial support for Postgres - and you can - buy someone who has not seen full enterprise support from the likes of Oracle or even IBM would be amazed.

When your database is down and you’re a major bank and losing millions a minute, Oracle can respond appropriately.
Not without third party tools. Dang thinks this basic feature that has existed in forums since the dawn of time promotes toxicity.
We could also say that he was motivated by the same kind of fringe political content that Elon has brought back after it was previously removed. Is there any kind of consistent principle we could use to explain why removing that was illegitimate but this isn’t?
I'm a fan of this shop https://www.facebook.com/kiosquemontroyal/. Not sure what they do for international shipping as I usually go in-person since I live pretty close by, but feel free to contact them.

They offer different grades of maple syrup, from Light, to Medium (Amber) to Heavy and Very Heavy. I like the very heavy syrup, it's made later in the season and has way more flavour. Most people tend to prefer the Amber as it's the most common and they're more used to it. I recommend trying them all and seeing for yourself!

In terms of specific brands, it can be difficult as most syrup is produced on smaller, family-owned farms, and then relabelled by exporters.

There are some award winning syrups which could be worth trying if you really want to aim for consistency, something like Saint-Paulin https://souvenirdefamille.com/en/products/sirop-derable-2021... or Escuminac https://escuminac.com/ (I don't know why but their site is broken for me and keeps reloading.)
This is exactly why republicans keep losing, they keep trying to repeat lies but they’re not sticking.

I think those new Trump NFT trading cards are the secret to winning elections, I hope you bought yours.
Yes, see ManicTime [0], Timing [1] and ActivityWatch [2] for that.

They passively record what you do, on computer and phone, and at the end of the day (or when invoicing is due) allow you to link what you did to projects.

Use ManicTime if you're mostly on Windows, Timing appears to be good if you're mostly on OS X, and ActivityWatch takes the same approach in an open-source cross-platform project.

I have ManicTime set to record a screenshot every 15 seconds, and record window title and document paths on every app switch. Invoicing still takes time, but knowing what you did and when helps to take all the guesswork out of it, especially for chaotic days.

Merging. Sure you can “branch” on svn but you merge at your own risk.
No amount of document release is gonna convince anyone. "It's in the one they didn't release" or "there are some they're pretending don't exist".
Vim and Emacs cannot compare to VSCode when it comes to productivity. With VSCode, you type the name of any programming language in the extension search, click "Install", and you have a huge security breach.

On Writing Better: Becoming a Writer – Jason Zweig (2018)
Isn't the problem precisely that most of the neighbourhoods aren't dense or mixed use?
Fair point, although I find it highly unlikely Russians or any indications of Russian involvement will be in here.

Far more likely, in my opinion, is a certain agencies would be implicated in (at least) covering up details
Am I the only one who worries that if this is implemented at industrial scale, then 100 years down the line we'll be facing a new ecological catastrophe when we deplete a significant portion of the world ocean?
I agree completely. But man, it was pretty amazing as a file server for DOS machines. You could boot a roomful of diskless PCs over ethernet from a 386 server, and for most uses the speed felt like you had a local hard drive in each one.
Software Engineers are incredibly fortunate

The heat transfer that way is slow. Most of the heat will dissipate before it reaches the glass. You can calculate how much the difference will be, but realistically the amount of heat you transfer this way is zero.
Non-billionaire hypocrites don’t spend $44 billion to disrupt my life so that they can play king at a social media company.

This man has done real damage to actual lives and communities in service of his ego, and he can’t even be forthright about his intentions. He can’t even stand by his own professed deeply held convictions, the entire reason he said this needed to be done, for more than 2 seconds before his own selfish ego takes precedence.
To put it more simply, software can't be more simple in aggregate because we can trivially rely on insanely complex components others have built and made available. Components which were simply not available back then.

Yes, the glue on top might be trivial, but even that frequently isn't.

And if anything breaks down, the humans at the top are normally expected to handle it, no matter where in the stack it is.

The Nordic model does not offer any real benefits to sex workers and still leaves their job dangerous, so why would they support it?

https://nonordicmodel.com/

> There's a concerted effort to amplify only the voices that will continue to benefit pimps and punters and other vile men.

It's amazing how people willfully blind themselves when it suits their prejudice. The primary organizations pushing for reform of Canada's sex work laws are led by sex workers themselves [1]. But I suppose in your mind they're just brainwashed or coerced?

Ask HN: What a book on web development for novice would look like?
By novice I mean first time hackers who have never thought about building a website by themselves.

Do I purely cover theoritical stuffs on high level as an introductory material or a more step by step guide would make more sense?

Are there any books or online courses targetted to beginners that helped you or someone you know?
To be clear, I don’t mean it would be bad for robinhood’s customers. I think it would be great for them, just bad for robinhood themselves.
Time to use a twitter handle like @N628TS_Jet or @a835af_Jet and mention the obvious truth that Elon may or may not be on board...
> Fair point, although I find it highly unlikely Russians or any indications of Russian involvement will be in here.

Doesn't have to be. "We asked source X at the Russian embassy if there was any indication they played a role" would still be highly sensitive, even if the answer was "no, not us".
Something unlikely to be affected: OIDC, PGP, etc. as these require signals that have full fidelity to authorize access.

Something likely to be affected: anything using biometrics as a password instead of a name.
I don’t know if it’s enough, but the first thing I do when joining a new organization is aggressively cut down on notifications, both using the N app, preferences, and the operating system preferences. The next thing I do is set expectations with coworkers, the same tool can be used very differently across different organizations.
The JFK assassination, and other historical events, seem like they could be such great applications for the kind of AI systems we have now. It really seems as if something like ChatGPT could "read" every document related to the JFK assassination and put together the pieces for us.

I'm already convinced it was some combination of anti-Castro Cubans, Italian-American mafia, and members of the CIA that were involved in a conspiracy to kill JFK. That seems pretty clear just from reading the Wikipedia pages, but I'd love to have an AI system assemble the full story in detail. There's a lot of unanswered questions, like how far up the chain did things go. Who was involved in the cover up, and much more.

At the very least, we probably need a system that is trained on just the raw source material so that it is not biased by all the existing theories.
I was thinking about this last night during the Space chat. Jason Calacanis was insisting that the level of tracking represented by ElonJet was something new and all I could think of was paparazzi. For decades, movie stars have been monitored in a far more intrusive way.

That doesn’t mean the plane tracking was or wasn’t good, it just surprised me that Calacanis was so unaware.
The irony is that the people complaining about Elon's censorship were pro-censorship before his takeover.
Brilliant video and software.

I remember using something very similar on a BBC Micro. I don't think it was so detailed (but it did have colours!).
> HN comments (laypeople in general) tend to make very confident and very wrong comments on {X}

Yes, it's annoying. From conspiracy theorists to supposedly smart people with PhD's, I'll catch them in a fiction. "You just made all of that up," I'll say, to which they reply with handwaving and equivocation. Why are we so reticent to be comfortable with our own ignorance and hold our tongue?
Thank you for leaving.
Anyone who hasn’t used an ERP would be amazed in good and bad ways by it.

We think people using the slightly older version of HTTPS is weird - ERP systems are often so old that the grandkids of whoever started writing it are retiring.

Oracle has things like “pretend to be a version of the database from 20 years ago so this weird load-bearing piece of software doesn’t break.”

The only thing I know of that comes close is Windows itself with its shins and Linus’s absolute refusal to break userspace.
Has anyone actually made a link between a plane being tracked, and his car somehow being tracked too? Probably not because they are unrelated, but it sure sounds scary in a short angry tweet
It's funny how this debate has shifted. Now that Elon owns twitter, it's Elon haters bringing up the law whereas before they were talking about how twitter can do what they want as a private company.

For my money, there's absolutely nothing wrong with twitter disallowing "person trackers". Legality aside, whether it's Elon Musk or Nancy Pelosi, the subtext of these trackers is creepy and threatening and banning them from some platform is fine.
>Anyone involved would long be dead or incapable of standing trial.

It was 59 years ago. There definitely could still be people alive that were involved (I'm not implying anything).
The more interesting event to me is that the balance of evidence on MLK’s assassination shows that he was murdered in an operation coordinated between the FBI and the Memphis police and mafia.
> 1) They have a strong preference for keyboard only operation

Sounds like having a strong preference for keyboard only to edit text and code is the natural way.

I don't think most vscode user are using mouse a lot either and if they do that, they are doing it the slow and inefficient way as vscode can be entirely piloted with the keyboard as well.
Having used Atom and VS Code on an old laptop in college, VS Code definitely does a better job when you throw it a large file, a first-gen i5, and 4GB of RAM. Likewise, at my first internship, I tried sublime on my work computer, which they had clearly just grabbed from the storage room (Windows 7! In 2018!). Sublime exploded into a million pieces.

My point is this: if we're being honest, all Electron-based editors suck. They're slow, and community-provided extensions are buggy and they integrate awkwardly with each other. But in my world (embedded firmware) there simply isn't a less-terrible option. VS Code is the least-terrible among them.

Could rules such as order matching within coarse-grained time increments level the playing field ? What would the drawbacks be ?
I think unless one uses Linux on daily basis it's really difficult to sink in the knowledge. I decided to install an Archlinux VM and see what happens.

I'm kinda disappointed to myself as I found out I didn't like too much trouble so I'll probably never be a good/great programmer.
