I drive a 2004 corolla that I bought off the lot and I'll probably drive it for another 10-20 years.

But I also grew up dirt poor and understand the difference between where I'm at now and where my family was at when I was young, in terms of vehicles.

There's a world of difference between an older, well-maintained, vehicle, and buying a car for $300 off the side of the road.

Also, this article is from 2020, but generated hardly any discussion when it was posted on HN back then.
Which government is secretly controlling global media?
Yes, sometimes it really is just down to better coverage, but if it's a city, it's almost always covered well by all 3 providers.

> I even asked a few strangers what network they use and how come they have reception

However this is selection bias, you may actually have switched to a less popular network (which is better), or it could be coverage, it's hard to tell. The funny thing is that you can see how over time people will be switching back and forth between providers, even though there may actually be little change of coverage, any improvements could be more to do with movement of subscribers. Unfortunately 5G wont entirely eliminate this phenomenon because higher frequency comes with the disadvantage of being less penetrating to solid structures, so e.g in a train, or building people will sill be contending with each other over 4G quite often.

In the end, all that matters is what works, and you can only really test that empirically or by using other's to gauge performance as you did. Luckily you can now test 2 of the major UK networks without a contract, "Three" and "Vodafone" provide contract-less unlimmited month-to-month sim only through their sub-brands "Smarty" and "Voxi"... and I highly recommend using these over the main brand because you always have the flexibility to change quickly as network conditions change (I've switched between these two multiple times for a home LTE router due to changing user contention - which I've only inferred from the fact that there were no new towers in the area while maintaining the same RSRQ, and connecting to the same cell ids).

www.cellmapper.net is a good resource for roughly gauging coverage... but far better than any of the vague maps given on ISP sites, it actually shows you individual cells for each tower with rough directional areas, I've found it quite useful for debugging weird issues with antenna positioning on permanent LTE router setup due to locking onto bad towers (which unfortunately is not directly controllable on standard user equipment modems).
Porn and fraud are two very different things.
Sure they're different, my point being people only care about the differences once they've reached a certain comfort level.
What was the problem with binary packages for .eggs?

Because, iirc, npm does handle e.g. .so files in packages that are based on C/C++ code, and puts them and everything else in the same, relocatable even (another pain point with virtualenvs), .node_modules directory.
Note that different flavours of R have very different performance. 'Base R' is quite slow. But R + data.table is blinding fast. Power Query perforamnce is awful, even compared to base R. Some benchmarks of these plus other data wrangling software (including my own product) at:

> However, there were a few short scenes where some characters spoke in Chinese. Since I can’t understand Chinese I had to stop the movie, rewind a bit, enable captions, re-watch the scene and then disable captions again.

When I was young (in the days of VHS) you got hard subs if James Bond's Russian enemy was saying something plot-important in Russian, and no subs if it was just flavour, or obvious from the context (hello, yes sir, raise the alarm, take the prisoner to the cells etc)

I don't think most filmmakers expect you to rewind and enable subtitles.
Kinda off topic and really barking up the wrong tree. Mozilla is literally the only company maintaining a non-webkit browser (Blink is still a WK fork)
First, even if the book lost copyright protection people would still be free to support the author by buying copies,

Second, if the book lost copyright protection wouldn’t Donald, losing that revenue stream, then be motivated to replace it by writing a follow up book?

Artists should be able to benefit from their works, but your question implies (to me) that because a work is popular artists have a right to continue to profit. You ask if they should be “forced” to “give up their copyright”. I think it’s good to keep in mind that anything copyrighted is being withheld from society at large; that we collectively pay a tax to authors in the form of giving up our collective right to remix and recombine works and profit from them in turn.

Particularly in the modern world of effortless free duplication and distribution, that’s a heavy burden to pay and it makes no sense to me that we would collectively agree to pay it for many decades even after the original author is dead.
> If you do have those fundamental skills, but have never demonstrated them because you're too busy doing project management work, then why would anyone believe that you have those skills? Demonstrate them somehow

This is the whole problem. You can have the technical chops to back up your project management work but if you have not "demonstrated" them then it's as though they don't exist.

It's relatively difficult to "demonstrate" your skills the way people want them to be demonstrated in a corporate environment unless you have a very supportive manager who helps you write your promo packet and goes in to bat for you.
I see Go's appeal as a better C for userspace code, and the language is quite nice had it been released during the days Oberon and Limbo mattered in the mid-1990's.

As post 2000 language, its design isn't that appealing.

The language would have been as mainstream as Oberon and Limbo were, if the authors weren't working at Google.
I have many issues with the CCP but as long as large scale war is avoided, this will be the silver lining in its rise. Hopefully there are clearer successes of some socialist aspects our society can learn from.
what about the rat/cherry blossom study? Widely reported 10 years ago, seemed compelling ... did it find later support? skepticism?

The performances on Blender3d are atrocious, the RX 7900 XTX is noticeably slower than a RTX 3060.
China is run by the Chinese communist party. You can’t own a house there (only a 99 year lease) and their notion of private property is very different. It’s not that simple.
Money is just a proxy here for the harm it does. Some people would rather not get a check for having lost body parts, a la that scene from Erin Brockovich. They would rather not endure the harm to begin with.

Jacques, since you live in the Netherlands you are free to come play at my Harpsichord and change your mind. The richness of a good harpsichord is just in a class of its own. Mine has three stops.

Note, in the early days of the revival (eighties) not the best kinds of instruments were made. Our understanding and artistic level has increased dramatically since then.
If I listen to your link of the harpsichord, I hear a ton of problems indeed, so I can imagine that it drives you away.

This music though is definitely not the most suitable for piano, the tone color of the harpsichord is so distinct, it lends itself to different types of music. To add, the interpretation of Gould is pretty outdated imho.

If you want to hear the best version currently, listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AtOPiG5jyk.

For all of you, the Netherlands Bach Society is truly a marvel, look at their channel or at https://allofbach.com. Their quality is unmatched, they attract the best of the best of this world and put everything for free on the internet. Sometimes, I have to ask why we get the most beautiful treasures of the world for free.

All of you, please, take their gift.

No, I meant to write "I've worked with Python for 20+ years, and Node for 8, and Python has always been a shit show on that front, whereas npm haven't given me any trouble (1)".

But thanks for the uncharitable strawman. Couldn't be that I know both and don't like it, must be that I'm not familiar enough with the wonderland that is the Python package management...

(1) At least not any trouble of that kind. I've had some issues regarding codependencies for add-ons, but that's a problem far beyond the kind of problems the Python package management has. If only Python's packaging stuff only had the same kind of issues...
Nobody is saying WebSpehere didn’t have benefits and configuring it likely was easier than full-blown Kubernetes.

But the similarities are shallow at best and tied you into a single VM.

Saying “this whole trend is all about replicating application servers with WASM” makes it sound derivative. I mean, yes, but only yes in the same way “cloud computing is just replicating large remote shared mainframes”.
This already exists for a while in the enterprise space, see stuff like OutSystems for example.

Or Microsoft's Power Apps.
The neoliberal counter-reformation was planned long before then. The Chicago School and Hayek had already been planted and nurtured. The shift started in the late 70s with organised attacks on the concept of unionisation, socialised welfare, and government investment, combined with aggressive promotion of the private sector as a glorious, efficient, and generous engine of progress.

All of this was carefully seeded and very deliberately promoted and funded immediately after WWII. The most obvious example was the Mont Pelerin Society, which was given to Hayek to organise and wasn't just ideologically anti-Marxist, but aggressively anti-Keynesian.

The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated this process by finally removing much of the organised opposition to it. But it was already up and running long before Gorbachev became President.
Ask HN: What are the reasons you choose 3rd party social network client?
When it comes to social network apps for Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, I quite enjoy the official client apps as they are features rich, have push notification and not limited by any API restriction.

I've also tried many other 3rd party clients, why they bring new look and feel, they don't drastically improve the experience much than the official client.

I know it's just me, what are the reasons you choose to use a 3rd social network client app?
JetBrains gives products in very niche areas. WebStorm for JS, PHPStorm for PHP, RubyMine for Ruby, and GoLand for GoLang.

Visual Studio Code is used by people who like to many languages, but more specifically for someone who's job is to work with JavaScript then WebStorm is much better. JetBrains could very well combine all these IDEs into one, but then again think about the amount of space and data of this new IDE.
what? npm is, for a lack of better word, shit. not worse than Python situation (coming from somebody who was excited when new-style classes were introduced), but that is a very low bar. ($DAYJOB makes me use npm _and_ pnpm, nx, nvm, corepack and I guess some other tools I don't know about just to make the goddamn thing build.)
It's only hard if you care about individual rights. Otherwise your multicellular self is a good example of a solution.
I thought this at first too, but actual market research shows that real "woke" opinions are about as rare as facist ones. If they did market research, I think they mistook the loud minority on twitter and the internet in general for their larger viewer base. I can't prove my ideas, but I can certainly see Disney losing billions, their CEO leaving and their stock crashing.
What makes NPM a cut above Python package managers is that I can clone a JavaScript project, run npm install, and it will just work in such a way that it will not conflict with other projects.

With python I have to work out which package manager it's using (the JavaScript ecosystem also has multiple package managers - yarn and pnpm - but they're compatible with each other!), and there's a significant chance it's using pip which installs packages globally unless I manually create and manage a virtualenv.

The gold standard is probably Rust's "cargo" (and "rustup" for toolchain version management), which broadly follows the NPM model but with a better implementation with fewer quirks. But NPM has gotten much better (it uses lock files by default now for example), and is mostly painless at this point.
It looks like the artwork from that game Psychonauts. Awesome.
A more obvious case is the one of Linux (GPLv2 licensed) closed source binary modules: Linus has specifically said that he is not opposed to such usage, so it's never been tested in court either.
I literally had to buy a $100 x86 PC yesterday because I could not find a raspi anywhere. It's v frustrating.
Nazi Bronies are a much bigger threat, right?
So the business model "write once, get paid for the rest of your life" should get built into law? I'm trying to think of an analogous situation. Should Architects get commission on rent for the rest of their life?

> There is much more not that successful works that still earn money and need protection from publishing houses than there is "Harry Potters".

There are many more non successful books, I agree. I doubt many of them are still available, much less making noteworthy money, after 20 years. This is based on my experience trying to buy obscure books, I tried to find actual numbers but was unsuccessful.
It always amazes me how many companies host their source code in “the cloud” visible to external companies, accessible from the public internet, only a single bug/security vulnerability/human error away from being leaked. The companies I’ve worked for so far host their source code on their own servers, which are physically under their control, and aren’t accessible from the public internet. Add on top of it that functionally GitHub/GitLab don’t hold a candle to code review functionality of Gerrit, project management of Redmine/Jira; and the only explanation is that those companies really, really don’t want to hire 1/2 sysadmins to manage their infrastructure.
Any argument why is it shit?

I think one advantage in GraphViz is the ability to output EPS. I use this often for embedding into PDF via XeLaTeX and Pandoc filters. I also saw that D2 offers some kind of LaTeX output, but was not able to dig into the docs there further.
Contrary to popular belief, prison is not entirely about reforming people but part punishment as well as protecting society from repeat offenders.

Also, he chose to open himself to the dangers of wasting his life behind bars when he enganged in incredibly illegal activities. It's not hard to not do that.
CORZ has been having a pretty great week on the stock market. Completely decoupled from the companies performance, of course. Went from ~0.1490 to a high of ~0.5080. Good money to be made if you got in there.

Well, those that act like WebAssembly is reinvinting the world kind of do.

And applications get tied to the WebAssembly ecosystem, it is also a single one.
> That never stopped npm to be way better than all of them...

npm isn't my favourite, but it's definitely improved with the competition from yarn and pnpm.

I think that Stack (Haskell) and Cargo (Rust) are state of the art, for ease of use and reproducibility. The other user would describe these as cramming three functionalities into one, but they do it so well.
Yeah I'm not sure how much ISPs still bother with that. Up until a year or so ago my ISP was pretty good at blocking torrent sites but now I can visit e.g. 1337x.to with no problems.

I think this is talking about 3's adult content filter which is different and has existed for ages and has always been shit (I assume most people disable it).
Mastodon is a cult though. I can't get over how irritatingly homogenous in opinion it is despite being federated, thanks to the draconian moderation policy that the large instances impose.
Also, don't forget a whole slew of AI assisted coding and design features.

In the 60's western economists were afraid that the authoritarian central planning of the Soviet Union was intrinsically more efficient than the slowly adapting free market to the extent where economists started to study ways of incorporating the sovietic dynamic in the west. [https://www.gsid.nagoya-u.ac.jp/sotsubo/Krugman.pdf]

Now China doesn't represent any kind of alternative model that risks replacing the one adopted by western countries, unlike the Soviet Union. Realistically nobody is afraid of being taken over by China. So I think that any kind of impact that China might have in this regard would be quite limited.
Have you verified that this works?
Stainless steel starts with a metallic taste, but after first week of use it is usually gone. Also there is titanium and aluminium.

Or just get a reusable plastic one, perfect can be an enemy of good.

Individual use of plastic is not relevant, as long as it goes to landfil and not ends up in the ocean througg recycling fraud. In UK most plastic ends up sent to poland, where it's burnt or sent onwards to Turkey where it becomes untraceable. I stopped recycling plastic because the system cannot be trusted - at least if it stays in UK you know it wont be hurting anyone.

Half of plastic waste in the ocean waste is discarded fishing nets.
I've had this exact conversation so many times over the years.

In truth, you just don't know the tools that well. And that's ok, but as someone who does and regularly does these things in both IDE's and in vim, you're wrong.

But I'm not going to bother trying to convince you, the same way I'm not going to try and convince you that my gf of 11 years is pretty awesome. I don't need you to get better to know that you're wrong.
NASA's Insight Mars Lander Is Dying. This May Be Its Last Image
I think one confounder is whether waging a war requires a lot of human beings.

If it does, then you need some kind of modern society to keep them relatively happy, or they'll fight for the other side. If you can deploy killer drone robots, then you don't need to worry about what the population thinks as much.
I'll rephrase my point:

This dismissal of business requirements as not generating technical problems big enough to require deep work is very interesting.
I used to have this problem at major stations like London Bridge. Full 4G signal bars, but no actual throughput. Seems to have gotten better lately, not sure if that's the effect of 5G or reduced passengers due to WFH.

This is so dumb. The entire history of “capitalism” is of the rich getting richer and the poor getting richer too.
There are many disputed territories shown - Palestine (especially the bit bordering Jordan, which bares no relation to the facts on the ground), or Taiwan which is shown when only a dozen countries recognise it. Northern Cyprus which is defacto a different state to Mainland Cyprus isn't shown, but the UK military bases are shown. Gibraltar is erroneously shown as part of the UK, but the Falklands aren't shown at all -- nor are many other island territories. Hong Kong and Macau aren't shown as separate to China.

It's difficult to know what the definition for inclusivity is.
- In states with Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground laws, you are not obligated to draw your own weapon, despite having the right to do so. You can opt to die rather than kill.

"We realized"

Haha. That's hilarious. The negligent hand waving of an enemy states collapse as a banal "realization" is the stuff of pure comedy.
There were many movements planned in the 1970s, but the failure of the Soviet system seems like the key driving force in the rise of this one to me.
I have to hand it to NASA's communication team, or whoever thought of giving each lander/rover/helicopter its own personality.

As a customer, this would be absurd. If I don't get what I imagined I wanted (rather than what I said), I'd rather find out in time to ask you to steer the solution towards what I want, instead of you bankrupting me for a wrong solution.

Frequent feedback is the essence of Agile. It makes sure the development process addresses the business needs with lowest latency and lowest gap in understanding.

I think this is part of it, it did not help that during the process it got abandoned and that poetry filled the void. I liked pipenv from its user interface it just never got from the PoC stage to „polished“. The way forward would actually be to unify the dependency resolution mechanisms into a PIP implementation (iirc pip has drastically improved its dependency resolution in recent years) and converge the various projects.
I run GoToSocial on my home server and, being written in Golang and not Ruby, it hardly consumes any CPU or RAM. I think we will see a couple of ActivityPub server projects being built with Go an possibly Rust the next couple of years that will make hosting much simpler and less resource intensive.

Tesla to implement hiring freeze and new round of layoffs
You seem to confuse two things.

First, "wokeness" exists, which this article points has a long history, with "stay woke" recorded in 1938, and MLK Jr's "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution" as examples.

Second is the "made-up menace", similar to how the FBI worked to "convince white Americans that King was an anti-American Marxist hellbent on destroying their beloved country".

The article characterizes anti-woke as "a modern-day mixture of McCarthyism and white grievance".

If either were banned, people would certainly care, because free speech.
Can you recommend a more efficient alternative that is reasonably hobbyist-friendly?

Shoplifting is up? Compared to when? Surely there are factors other than the existence of self checkout?

The self checkout lines have bacteria? Do the regular checkout lines not? Seems like cleaning them regularly is an easy solution...

I like the self checkout mostly because it does seem faster to me. And I prefer to bag my own groceries.

During the pandemic, wegmans introduced a phone app that let you scan as you shop. That meant I could put things directly in my bag as I shopped. And at the end I just scanned the app at a self checkout register. That was the best shopping experience I've ever had.

Sadly wegmans did away with it also claiming too much loss from the app :(
