The Ghost community is paid to run a SaaS and supporting self-hosters is somewhat incidental to their business model. That community already is voting with their wallets and this poster was expecting to get better free support from a software company with incentives that don't align with the poster's. ("Non-profit" or not, it's still a software company getting paid to run a SaaS that incidentally allows self-hosting.)

Are we talking about the same NYC? Visit Manhattan in mid July/August. Bags of garbage leaking juices and oil out onto the street into a huge greasy spot where the designated collection spot is near the curb. The whole city smells like a toaster oven roasted ballsack.

Then combine that with all the cumulative liters of urine per day from dogs and humans all throughout the city.
I don't know about this device, but vr games experience (oculus rift) are something, well, that is kind of outstanding.

The problem with (wired) VR is the wires and the computer. And Quest seems to be underwelming graphicaly compared to Rift.

A 1 grams, 1000 DPI headset, would be, regardless of the price, a revolution in a lot of domains, from gaming, defence, training of all kind, conferencing, tv/video/streaming, remote working...
Beats me. It was pretty obvious to me early on when asking about any field I know well that it had no understanding and would happily blurt out a wrong, but plausible sounding answer. So I haven't even tried to ask it abkut stuff I don't understand. Because how would I even tell if the answer made sense? Seems like an easy way to get the completely wrong idea.
Lawyers of HN, why would using the same method as in the patent pose a legal problem for a DIY project? To my understanding, he would not be able to commercialize it until expiration. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to exchange that one build. But he should still be able to build it and document the build. After all, said information is already public in the published patent. That is very much the point of the existence of the patent.

I thought supposedly the whole point of patents was to make the information regarding an invention available in exchange for a time limited monopoly on profiting from said invention, not to make the information radioactive for the period.

Similarly, to how some codecs are patent encumbered yet we still have open source implementations of said codecs.

In practice however, many patents never brought riches to the inventor and instead stalled progress for the duration.

Is this project just a case of the chilling effect of patents?
By breaking laws implemented after the fact?
Session musicians make sample CDs now mostly I would imagine. Sample services like splice have kind of gutted the worth of sample CDs, so that complicates life for session artists a lot I imagine.
I'm not sure if it's been tested in court, but there are certainly newspapers as you say that are doing this - including from quite major publishing houses. Personally I just open their pages in private browsing tabs anyway, if everyone did that it would probably kill the business model (even before we talk about uBlock).

My (non-lawyer) opinion is it's probably illegal if you're making a sham paid tier to justify working around the GDPR, and probably fine if you're a "real" paid product which offers the extra option of paying with data instead of cash. I guess in a court case it would be interesting what percentage of daily active users are on the paid tier.
No, they can be cheaper.

Sod off with this, I've seen someone literally hospitalised because of an army of private sector contractors we've had to deal with finding ingenious efficiency savings, powered by ideologues like you. Now our costs have tripled.

Oh, and guess f*king what; now several other suppliers are bankrupt, taking their already mostly-worthless support contracts with them, because they never invested a cent in resilience, and, get this, are blaming us for giving them that power. The same power they were so adamant, just like you, that they were so good at wielding. Their only efficiency ever was stripping all resilience, not inefficency - deliberate resilience.

The private sector is made of goddamn children at times,
Literally nothing could be considered a handout to your own employee. By definition they’re selling their labor to you for a public contract called “legally being an employee” which comes with obligations on the part of the employee and employer.

Everything else is haggling over the specific details. If we decide that one of those employer obligations is to provide guaranteed runaway for employees in the case of termination then that’s that. If we decide that one of the employee’s obligations is providing 3 months of notice then that’s also that. But the two things aren’t at all related except in your mind.

Right now today with no change in policy whatsoever you have to make the choice as to weather you are willing and able meet your obligations as an employer before taking on employees and you have as much say and the same votes as everyone else to decide what those obligations are.

Fairness informs but does not ultimately decide the employer employee relationship. The only thing we get for sure if the system works is that over time it tends toward what is considered fair by the current working citizens.

> learning without purpose sucks, I mean it's still very valuable, but it sucks in that sense that it is "unpredicatbly effective".

Your presumption is that people are only interested in learning things that make them more effective. This is certainly true of many people at least some of the time, of course. This can be established by direct observation: How many times have you ever heard someone in a classroom ask, "Will this be on the test?"

Bt as a universal proposition, it can also be contradicted by direct observation: People learn things for "the pleasure of finding things out," the title of a Feynman book.

Why else would anyone read a book like Raymond Smullyan's "To Mock a Mockingbird?" There are precious few occupations where you will become more effective if you know how starlings and kestrels can combine in various permutations to compute anything computable.

The first half of your sentence is correct: Learning without purpose sucks. But there are many purposes for learning, including fun (like learning combinatory logic via songbirds in forests) or a desire to understand the way things work or the desire to be viewed by our peers as a learned person.
What is being ignored is basic macroeconomics such as the Theory of Comparative Advantage which states that the net benefit to countries is the specialization in the production of certain types of goods and subsequent trade with each other instead of each country trying to produce everything domestically.

This is literally the system the US built since WWII and what globalization is all about after the Iron Curtain fell.

Of course, the US being at the center of all this trade as the military guardian of naval trade routes and financier of specialized production capabilities all across the globe.

It was and still is a smart as hell play.

But that's exactly why anyone hitting on any one part of that web of trade as being irrelevant is so... unimaginative: The fact is that it's NOT a zero sum game, but a system where everyone benefits if trade happens.

There are some EU companies that can produce tech in some domains without much or any competition in the US (or think of semiconductors of Taiwan) and the same is true for companies in the US.

This is literally Econ 101.
Musicians are not the ones raking in all the money - the record companies are the ones doing that. There are plenty of articles about how artists would have made more money working at McDonalds while the record company brought in 8-9 digits of revenue. In TLC's case, their 2 albums sold over $100,000,000 yet the 3 artists each received less than $50k. The studio and management companies made bank.

Thankfully the physical requirements to turn a garbage trunk into a snow plow are minimal. And it's more inefficient to have an idle fleet for huge parts of the year than to use slightly awkward plows.
Anectodal. Between 4-8 years old I took piano, guitar and solfege classes. I first went to a state conservatory when I was 4 and they told my parents i was super talented and I should go there. My mom did not like how strict they were and was afraid I would get traumatized so I took private classes.

I hated every minute of all of them. I would barely (mostly never) touch the homework until the next class and the teacher would just (i presume to keep receiving money from my parents) go along with it. I went through books called Beyer (2 of them), Czerny and Hanon. They were boring as hell.

What they never taught me was how to make my own music. Now I'm into electronic music I am just practicing scales and chords and voicings by myself on top of drum patterns I write myself and I can't get enough of it!

I think the main problem is that parents just wants their children to be classy and do recitals and just perform in front of guests and stuff and children hate that shit, and I guess the teachers just want the fucking money.
I just tried it on iPhone 14 Pro Max. There is no lag at all. Also I am not sure what exactly is appallingly bad? It's pretty good. If you are expecting Pixar quality gestures then that's on you

> It's not the situation that 20% of streets generate 80% of garbage that needs to be picked up

Not that number exactly, but many streets or blocks have no trash - office buidings, the highrise apts you mention, parks, highways, etc. And it's time, not distance that matters - you can charge the trucks where they spend the most time. My point is that you don't need 100% coverage or likely near that.

A drawback is that garbage pickup needs probably don't align with bus, snow plowing, or other needs, so ROI is lower for those wires.
The tools in question are

npm (Node Package Manager)
pnpm being a modified version thereof that adds a compression/content addressible store mechanism to speed things up in a development configuration.
Or
Yarn

...which is yet another dependency management solution cum build tool, which is Maven/Gradle like. Depending on version though there are so many quirks. Both are "staples" of any enterprise scale project I've run into.

I don't have an issue with nodeJS or JS per se. It's the ecosystem and enterprise tooling. I still cannot for certain say those damn build tools don't muck things up in horribly subtle ways, and the experience of debugging the average horrible nest of every dependency known to man has comsumed entirely too much of my life, and the experience overcoming that learning curve I still can't say with confidence wasn't somewhat deleterious to my personal sanity.

I can do it trivially now; and I can appreciate the things you can build with it when doing it correctly. The depth of hole you can quickly end up in though is not to be underestimated.

That and nigh every JS developer I've run into who says they are proficient knows nothing about really debugging it, or hasn't read the core library docs and really means they can use one framework or another.

...Bar like 3. Who you never want to bother, because they are usually handling issues way more important/wide-ranging that warrant their attention than hand-holding you through learning how it actually works.

Let's also have the market allow consumers to decide how much poison they're willing to consume in their food. After all, consumers will be free to make the choice between poisoned and unadulterated food.

Some people are starving, allowing businesses to bulk their products with poisonous substances will offer much more affordable food to those people. What's the moral basis for taking away that choice?
yes i intentionally eat healthy. I used to get breakfast smoothies and large portion breakfast and lunches. i put on weight, i cut that out and started to lose weight. i had butter with breakfast everymorning. atleast 100 calories, i noticed that was a mistake and cut it out. that isnt calories i need.

Your body wants about 1800-2200 calories. it doesnt need chips and soda and chocolate etc.. which push you above that
I was forced into music as a kid, because marching band was the least terrible way to get the fine arts and athletic credits I needed. By all accounts, I wasn't terrible at it (often got 1st chair, etc), but I hated it. The problem is the performance aspect. I'm an extreme introvert and always have been. Doing something in order to be seen/heard doing it is basically torture.

The article never really seems to consider that the kids just don't enjoy it. "The parents suck the fun out", or "the lack of freedom makes it boring". No. It's just not enjoyable on its own merits.
I took the fine motor control for granted until I saw some young adults unable to get the blade of a screwdriver in the slot, then apply force to keep it in the slot and turn at the same time.

This, This, This.

We think "Well gas cars transport their own energy source, so electric cars must too" and that will probably be one of the things future generations laugh at us for (in the same way older generations thought flapping wing costumes could generate heavier-than-air flight).

Hydrocarbons are an extreme outlier in terms of energy density (vs. weight) and the fact that we are trying to replicate that model with other non-outlier materials is crazy.

Cars travel on roads almost exclusively. In the US, 90%+ passenger miles are on roads that already have some amount of power infrastructure (lightposts) and if we just made it so that our vehicles could plug into electricity at all points of their journey, then EVs are basically solved.

The sad part of Elon being so successful is that all he does is see places where we used to do things well (we electrified the whole country very quickly, built an advanced space program in 2-3 decades, etc.), notices we lack the will to keep doing those things (even I understand the overhead wires thing is a moonshot), and comes up with the pragmatic "OK but not really great" solution.

Seriously, if you had said in 1960 "the richest man in 2020 will focus on cars, low-earth-orbit rockets, and tunnel boring machines" people would be extremely bummed by the lack of progress.
The article says other cities use smaller vehicles for snow removal, so try that.

In Canada there's been some recent success using an electric cargo bike as snow plow.

I'm not suggesting that's right for New York, but maybe somthing a lot lighter than a garbage truck could work!

The guest is not in control - sure theres a few pages at the beginning of each section that has to be 4k until you reach the first 2MB-multiple.

What context switch time? It takes 5 micros to enter and leave the guest. The rest is just "workload".

Tommy Cooper was severely underestimated by lots of people. His death must have been the strangest thing ever. Alcohol really got the better of him, rumor has it he was quite traumatized from time spent in the army.

They could work with anything, really. It wasn't uncommon to see people with backpack-mounted gaming laptops or even mini PC builds connected on the other end. Point being - tethered headsets are been-there, done-that. If this rumor is true (which I seriously doubt), Apple is positioning themselves at a direct disadvantage relative to the rest of the market.

Like, if the headset's "killer app" is videoconferencing, why wouldn't you use anything else? You could use the LIDAR on your iPhone, the 6DOF tracking in a $400 Oculus Quest, the much-nicer full-body tracking of a Valve Index setup... the possibilities are limitless, and this rumor purports that Apple is choosing the worst one. I just refuse to believe something like this will ship.
Ristretto adds complexity over just using secp256k1, which also has very good Rust support, is quite fast and well-optimized, compiles to WASM, and supports ECDSA, ECDH, and Schnorr key aggregation, so it's quite full-featured.

Congrats on this drug working

I lost 45 lbs myself with diet and excise, bmi is 25. Hoping it works. If it does not I at least know I have a fallback plan.
what are you sharing your personal anecdotes then as something conclusive about weight management. we know nothing about you except take your word that you eat healthy?
Doubt, as long as the content is the same
Also ever heard of gRPC? It's pretty popular and widely used. Whether you like it or not or whether it's the most optimal in theory, in practice HTTP is heavily heavily used for communicating between components.

To me, HTTP sits in a similar boat as JSON. Is it perfect? Is it good? Not necessary. But it's extremely extremely scrutinized and optimized due to its ubiquity in ways that other protocols and formats haven't been.

This was the entire point of this experiment and it's proved successful. The bias I wanted to challenge is exactly what you mentioned. Turns out, using HTTP as a transport and protobuf for encoding (which is basically gRPC) is comparable.
I'm not a vim user, but I think the problem with Ruby here is that it's not begin/end. It's anything that evaluates to an iterable/end.

> By passing this exam, lawyers are admitted to the bar of a U.S. state.

No, they aren't.

Meeting certain preparatory requirements (the details vary but in most US jurisdiction an accredited/approved law school program or, in some, what amounts to an apprenticeship with a licensed practitioner of certain duration and standards is required) and then passing the bar exam allows this.

The difference is important, the bar exam is not seen, standing alone, aa adequate proof of readiness.
100% agree. You need something motivating to push through the wall of sucking. And it can fluctuate throughout life.

I was a drummer. I was first attracted to the status of it - it was the only instrument in our school band that you needed to try out for. I didn't make the first cut, so I got lessons, then I made it next year. I kept the lessons for a while, but at some point I got bored and stopped lessons - there were only so many paradiddle variations I wanted to learn. There was no vision for me anymore.

Then, I got into rock music and thought that looked awesome, and I had a burst of new motivation that lasted for several years through college.

Then I accepted I wasn't going to be a famous rock drummer (or at least, the opportunity cost vs other things was no longer looking worth it), and shifted my time toward other things in life.

I like the idea of trying a different instrument. I know I would suck for a while so I haven't committed to it. Maybe when my kid gets older that would provide more motivation to bond with him.
Getting fined 400 million over some trivial thing- that's behavior I'd expect from the mafia or maybe Genghis Khan. It's not like they killed anyone. They just resisted the stupid checkbox.
At that point, I have two questions:

1. Why can't I just plug it into a Mac/Macbook instead?

2. Does this mean the battery/compute pack will be an optional add-on?
For these industrial use cases I’m surprised hot swappable batteries aren’t being considered more.

Are these current trucks doing 12 hour shifts plowing snow and hauling garbage on a single tank of diesel, or are they refueling? I get that fast changing infrastructure is hard and waiting 15-90 minutes to charge a battery isn’t ideal.

But couldn’t they stop to swap out batteries or have another vehicle meet each truck with replacements?

Edit: Googling suggests that garbage trucks get 3mpg on average, with a 70-90 gallon tank and go 25k mi/yr on average (80mi/day 6-day week) so one tank would cover a whole day.

3mpg is awful though which does seem to support electrification being a good plan for this use case.
I wonder what they do when a bus runs out of power - towtrucks? Charging trucks?
