> Mastodon starts off by explaining how federates instances work and then gives you a list of popular ones to choose from.

This is kind of terrible.

Now instead of just putting in your emails you have to make an impactful choice that won't be terribly easy to reverse. Now you have to check which instances have sane moderation, which instances actually have funding so they won't just die on you, which instances are fast or slow, which instances have blocked which other instances, and all the other inevitable petty drama between them. And again, this is compared to just putting in your email and not thinking about it.

And this isn't even inherent to federation either! Matrix has an officially-endorsed default homeserver for people who just want to create an account (most people). You don't have to understand federation to use Matrix, it's available if you want it, but you could live without understanding any of it. This causes Matrix to have a much better on-boarding experience.

It doesn't help that every online guide tells people to do this without warning about the consequences. Want to install nginx? Copy this line of script and enter your password, no need to fuss about the details!

The Linux volunteer community needs an attitude shift to start recommending the user friendly method over the complicated methods. You don't need to apt install Chrome, it's in your software store, just like most other programs you probably want. If you go die-hard Linux (Arch, Gentoo, etc.) then perhaps there are too many variations in use to give a clear cross DE answer but on Ubuntu 99% of users are on GNOME with Ubuntu customisations, so you can use the Disks tool instead of dd, the Disk Usage analyser instead of a complicated du grep sort command and the software manager instead of apt for almost every common task.

Linux people are often fond of their command line and so am I, but this way any normal user will quickly shy away from the platform for no good reason. There are also people who have weirdly strict opinions about the "right" way to do things (systemd hate, Wayland hate, vim enthusiasts, bash vs zsh vs fish debates) that ruin the experience for everyone but will leave an especially bad impression for newbies. You'd better know the difference between pacman, apt, dnf, and brew before you go to the Arch forum or expect to be insulted for being such a complete idiot to even consider asking a question.
I've had exactly the opposite experience switching to Mac from Linux. used to be my cli editors worked with the clipboard, now I have to `M-x shell-command-on-region pbcopy`.

I've written a wrapper script for it and bound that but if I have to write lisp to use the clipboard I consider that backsliding.
Not recommended fir everyone, I already struggle with thumb joint pain with a regular keyboard layout.
Please don't mischaracterize what I wrote, I clearly stated my belief to the opposite. In years of being in and around the far left, I have never seen anyone try to prevent the permitting or construction of new housing. Arguing that housing needs to be affordable to address the problem of homelessness is not opposition.

Your original claim is just not factual. No rhetorical flourishes are gonna change that.
Ask HN: Stripe alternative (We got blocked before starting)
Hi HackerNews,

Stripe blocked our account even before we could start using them, citing terms of service issue.

We are SuperApp with a marketplace where we allow buyers and sellers of permitted businesses to buy and sell physical products, physical/digital services (exact matching stripe with stripe supported company)

Yet we got blocked; I have emailed Patrick (Founder of the stripe) for help as well. Not sure if he would be available to answer anytime soon during the holidays.

Do we have any alternative that matches the stripe fees, pricing and community around?

Thanks

Device manufacturers see that as a bug, not a feature. They are starting to pair genuine parts to a specific device, which will completely lock us out of 3rd party repair options if we accept and normalize this behavior.

Now do the Virginia suburbs where a large fraction of them actually live — or, since the DC field office is about 5% of their total staff, the other 55 field offices.

DC’s residents skew Democratic for a reason: having such a large black population means that they don’t trust the party which has such a questionable racial history, and that’s important to understand because the FBI’s history means the same people who don’t vote for Republicans are not jumping to join an organization with its history.
I agree with you, when you have the knowledge and have fun doing your local devops, you can skip such software.

We have a lot of users (devs, designers, qa) which don't care about their local setup. Installed anything using a random tutorial and never change a running system. Last weeks, we just updated our node constraint from 16 to 18 and many users were lost to install the right version (only ~18 was allowed). So it's for us a huge benefit to be able to declare the environment and share it to all users who don't care about their setup and just wants to do their work :). I hope you got my point :)

An operating system isn’t a tool, it’s a means to an end.

It’s like saying it’s bad I don’t know how all the internal components of my car work because I rely on my car to get to work.

As far as I am concerned, my operating system is a black box for interacting with VSCode, Slack, Outlook, Firefox, and use a terminal in a user-friendly way. I don’t care how it works, its components, or how it is constructed. I certainly don’t expect to have to fix it - making the operating system reliable and user-friendly is someone else’s job.
Your first problem is thinking there was ever a “left” in the US to begin with.

Democrats are a center party - at best. They’re neoliberal at their core.

What’s the best way to get people advocating for left oriented reforms? Break them up. How? Identity politics. Get them to fight each other.

Congrats - you’ve managed to keep power between two neoliberal parties that agree on most everything. (And everything they don’t agree on - it’s mostly for show because money is the number one thing they’re both most concerned about!)
It has definitely happened though. Not everyone who is socially anti-authoritarian is anti-self defense.
I have been a react dev for 7 years and have loudly advocated against state management tools all that time. React already is a state management tool, designed to eliminate the need for complex global state. You only need external state management if you don't fully commit to the paradigm.

Why so? Hyzon is apparently already shipping (they just posted about one of their trucks starting commercial work at the port of Houston) so that's available (with the need for modifications e.g. right hand drive and australia-standard carriage), the solar farm already exists, the wind farm is apparently under construction (https://infrastructurepipeline.org/project/macintyre-wind-fa...), and as befits of their name "plug" apparently delivers modular plug-and-run electrolyser, and they have running projects (https://hydrogen-central.com/plug-1mw-electrolyzer-commissio...).

So it all looks at least realistic, though obviously the proof's in the pudding.

Windows 11 fixed a lot of problems caused by Windows 8 that continued into Windows 10 when it comes to settings. My computer doesn't support it for arbitrary reasons Microsoft came up with so I can't use it where it matters, but I've got to give it to them that the UI for settings improved a lot.

The start menu, task bar, context menus and almost every other aspect of the UI got a significant downgrade in the process, which is a pain, but at least the settings were fixed.
That's perhaps a fair reading of the initial comment, although reading "regulate" in "it has become easier for governments to monitor and regulate online content" and "moderating" in "the collective well-being of humanity should always be a top priority, and this includes moderating harmful or extremist content on the internet" to both mean simply "government input" is somewhat questionable. See also your own use of the word "moderate" ("Can the government force me to not delete that due to free speech, or do I have the power to moderate my blog however I want?"). Also your point that historically non-government entities can decide whether to follow government input or not needs to be qualified considerably. Contempt of court was not considered free speech until relatively recently. for example see Los Angeles Times contempt of court 1938. Then there is of course the Sedition Act of 1918. In any case this is very far from your claim that "everybody here is talking about speech in the context of a walled garden owned by a company/person." We are most certainly talking about government here. Whether or not the initial comment was refering to government simply "giving input" or outright censoring, we are still talking about government, so your claim is in my view inaccurate even under your own explaination of the comment, which is itself somewhat questionable.

I realise, but they seem to like hydrogen, and I'm speculating about their reasoning. Though electric trains would make more sense clearly.
For sure, pydata ecosystem is one of the worst offenders. Yeah, the libraries make it easy to do that 1 off model -- shove it in production and watch the next 3-6 months be a pagerduty fest for both the model writer and ops/backend people.

It doesn't have to be like that though -- look at geohotz's tinygrad library for exampe: well tested, well written, and can do most of the things the bigger ecosystem libraries do.

I’ve had 128GB of ECC memory with error reporting. Never logged a bit flip as far as I can tell.

Memory errors are heavily concentrated to bad modules. They’re not evenly distributed across all RAM. Always test the stability of your memory when doing a new build.
i can’t offer a solution to your problem but here is another point of view.

consider it a blessing for your long term mental health. companies like amazon will bring you to Canada or US on a work visa and literally pound you. the cut throat culture brings out most toxic behavior in individuals. your going to be in competition at amazon of people from different cultures. sounds great on paper but different cultures and backgrounds have taught people especially from developing world to naturally react and minimize their own risk exposure in a particular way. endless political battles at middle management levels and teammates throwing each other under bus or refusing to cooperate in case the “other” person gets credit.

moving to a country on a work visa sponsored by amazon is not a good idea.

But most industrial hydrogen production is the so-called 'blue' hydrogen. Produced from fossil fuels, because that's a cheaper process than electrolysing water.
It has been trained with human feedback on top which i guess is possible to add/remove at will
Going all in on hydrogen is a bit of a loosely defined notion. Mostly it boils down to dumping lots of money on the table for whomever wants to grab it and creating a few photo opportunities for politicians parroting whatever their sponsors want them to parrot. And as it turns out the fossil fuel industry seems to want to claim most of that.

Looking at the physics, green hydrogen has some applications but what politicians seem to be pitching ranges from delusional to physically challenging. Those pesky laws of thermodynamics get in the way.

So, transporting hydrogen at scale is a problem because even chilled to near absolute zero it's still way less energy dense by volume than liquid LNG. And of course chilling it to those levels is challenging and expensive. It takes up quite a bit more space. As in, you need several ships to move the same amount of energy as a single LNG ship. And of course the way to deal with cold gases heating up is to vent some of it (you boil some off to cool the rest). So, not all of it makes it to the destination. It gets worse. Those ships need fuel. And hydrogen isn't it because of it's volume. You'd need to sacrifice most of the shipping volume to storing the fuel to move it around.

Volumetric density of hydrogen is a problem for transport, shipping, planes, aviation, etc. Moving around enough of it to be interesting would require an order of magnitude more ships, trucks, etc. than we use today for moving around fossil fuels. That's expensive.

And all of that is before you consider that creating hydrogen is inherently more expensive than just using renewable power directly (via batteries).

None of these problems has much wiggle room for scientific breakthroughs. That perpetuum motion machine just doesn't exist. Hydrogen generation is already close to the theoretical maximum in terms of efficiency. There are not going to be any 2x or 3x improvements there. Same for volume. You can't chill it any further than absolute zero. Converting it into other fuels works but is also lossy.

There's a role for green hydrogen. It's replacing the enormous amount of grey hydrogen we generate today for things like fertilizer production. Australia is not going to export hydrogen in meaningful amounts, ever. Nor is anyone else going to be able to scale that to meaningful amounts. It's physically impossible. But they'll likely produce some other things that can be shipped out using green hydrogen. Like fertilizer, steel, etc.
Once upon a time, before fuel injection and effective manifold heat, cars were not very drivable when cold.

The gasoline would not vaporize well in the cold carburetor so the “choke” had to be set to enrich the mixture.

When the vaporized fuel interfaces with cold metal in the intake manifold and intake passages in the head(s), the fuel condenses out of suspension, creating a very lean mixture, despite the choke being set. Combine this with dropping revs from leaving a stop in a manual transmission car, and stalls were frequent.

The solution was to allow the engine to “warm up”.

I have an old Toyota fj40 that reminds me of the before times when it’s cold.

The author of the article got many things wrong.

Washing the cylinders is a thing, but the cylinder has just had a combustion event in it that runs at 2600°F or higher. There is very little oil on the cylinder walls during the “power stroke” in a 4-cycle engine. The walls are reoiled on the exhaust, intake and compression strokes.

A study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) found that the temperature of the combustion chamber walls (the top section of the cylinder wall), specifically, ranges from 265° F under limited throttle to 475° F with the throttle wide open.

https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/93....

The flashpoint for motor oils is
300-475° F, which is why you can maintain a thin film in the cylinder walls.

Excessive idling will foul spark plugs and valve seats.
Under a system that ensures housing, food, health, education, you also need some form of population control.

The premise is that if you lower mortality rates you lower birth rates, but that's because once enough people survive you reach a capacity, which is established through economic pressure.
The problem GP is talking about is the vast, vast majority of hydrogen today is produced by steam reforming, which is vastly cheaper than electrolysis (around 3x) but produces huge amounts of CO2 (6 tons per ton of hydrogen).
Entirely agree. I find this article a bit premature in it's confidence. And it seems to counter the one thing everyone who uses it is saying, which is that getting one best answer (which you can confirm as necessary) by software that has some sense of what your are asking for is just faster.

As in, it would be faster for me to look something up on GhatGPT and confirm it with a Google search than just starting with a google search.

And then how inevitable is an AI product from Google, et al?

I think "assume good faith" has to be taken as something of a Prisoner's Dilemma proposition.

You don't want to be a dove, and keep assuming good faith when it hurts.

Assume good faith initially because it least has a chance of being productive, but the moment bad faith is detected, either withdraw or "punish" (and propagate social signals that bad faith arguing has been detected so others know not to engage)

> Why do you feel it's better to do the build system's job manually?

What's better is what is easier to understand and maintain. If your whole project is made of one file and builds with one simple call to a compiler, IMO it's fine to just have this line in the README, no need for a custom_target in cmake.

Now the thing is that often, I see that people put a lot of importance into the "it should be easy to get started for beginners who don't know the tools", and everything is glued together using some custom functions. The goal being that a beginner can essentially run "make" (yep, I've seen Makefiles wrapping CMakeLists for that) and the project will build (sometimes it will even install dependencies on the system, that's crazy). But then if the beginner wants to understand what's happening under the hood, well... it's a big pile of custom glue.

Now if, instead of that, you document the tools you are using in your README, and use the tools in a standard way, then people who know the tools will get started quickly ("oh, it's protoc then cmake, I know exactly how to use that"). And yeah, beginners will need to learn how to run those tools. But that's fine IMO, because if you use the tools the standard way (without custom functions), then the beginner can just look for the official docs.

Standard is better than custom.
> If they have either of those "cultural challenges", then they are literally dropping even more work and isolation on their wifes. That is why it is egoism.

No, I mean the breadwinner may be stressed because their SO has such an attitude. Therefore the kids are basically always home, and no one ever gets a break. Some folks also decide to have kids and agree to parenting strategies, only later to realize they're not working. If the stay-home partner insists on "the one true way" then even counseling may not be enough.

Again, the broader point is you may not have the whole picture. Try to assume good intentions, and if circumstances are undeniably out of balance look for constructive ways to help.
