The fact that the info is tech or science related thus relatively serious, is less important than the fact that it feeds into the same type of cycle as reading tabloids, collecting skins and gems in mobile games or following a sports team. It may be useful in the future, or being remembered and used at some point, but the main purpose is producing a rush and it too is a form of escapism (maybe from doing actual projects).
Not sure what tautology you're referring to, but nobody is claiming experts are infallible - that's silly.

I made my comment based on having seen lots of HN commenters confidently dismissing various widely accepted (read: current best) physical theories based on appeals to intuition and specious or incomplete reasoning.
Not sure if its single talk but i really enjoyed this fall cmu database series

I remember OpenBSD panicking over some USB hubs a few releases ago. USB is hell.
That's fascinating.

It would seem to set up a situation where your incentive, if you suspect a Ponzi scheme, is to quietly withdraw your money early then keep your mouth shut. Unfortunate if true.
By corruption I assume you mean "a 100yr history doing nasty things that benefit the agency and/or the political goals of specific agency leaders and/or the political goals of specific people close to those leaders in direct or near direct contradiction of the organization's mandate and/or law.

Basically they're evil, not corrupt.
I understand what you mean, and I have been trying to overcome low energy by shifting my mindset eg walking, meditation, reading, smiling, thankfulness, affirmation… still want to try shower and yoga but these requires a little more logistics.

But in the end, I can’t really confirm that these actions have the same outcome as just eating a piece of chocolate cake to kickstart my tired brain.

I realize by writing this I’m again creating a belief for myself.
That's such a perl/raku thing, and I mean it in the best way possible.
It can work but it's a really, really painful and slow way to die. And this kind of prevention can work: a lot of suicide prevention is focused on just putting enough barriers in place that it's harder to do on impulse. In the case of the limitation it's probably mostly so that people don't normally have a huge jar of them at home, which is what you get with buying them from costco. How many lives have actually been saved by this is pretty hard to judge though, but I would bet it's non-zero.
A product that does nothing but that would be useful. But then ideally you'd use more than one!
I get what you're saying but if my threat model doesn't include Microsoft or state-level actors that can co-opt Microsoft or buy/develop hoarded Windows zero-days, then a patched Windows box is probably good enough.
I run an instance of yacy on my desktop and pump all the interesting sites into that.

That way, 2 years from now I can remember that there was a website about undulating crystal sheep enhancers and search it up in my archive. It’s really handy.
It was present in SML codebases earlier than F# (it's used everywhere in the Isabelle codebase, for example, and that's where I first came across it).
USB sucks everywhere. OpenBSD can panic over USB too. It happened to me. Hubs, faulty USB drives, Chinese gamepads, noname ElCheapo USB Ralink WiFi dongles with dubious designs...

I think the only truly secure OS for this would be Hurd or SeL4+Genode.
Worse, they'll make them into the touch-screen where you have to do a specific gesture to turn right, a different one to turn left, and one needing both hands to apply the brakes.

Truth is Stripe billing works fine for us.

We've built around some of the limitations and expanded it to be super powerful (e.g., we built a cashback system based around Stripe's excellent webhooks https://arnon.dk/how-we-built-a-cashback-system-with-stripe/)

I don't need it for the stuff that "would keep money hostage" as others say so I haven't experienced it at all.
The German definition is crap and loaded with a lot of baggage. Some believe it is necessary to adhere to the first principles of the constitution of Germany, but that is false.

In reality this is a backward residue from monarchy and the laws are just as old. If Germans would have had more inclination to freedom, perhaps less authoritarian governments would have formed in the past.

So empirically hate speech legislation doesn't really seem to be effective either.
It is, however, reality. I used to work in escalations at $MEGACORP and the difference between the viral sob story posted on Twitter etc and the reality of what happened is often jarring. "Boohoo my account was locked for no reason whatsoever!" except, y'know, distributing graphic child abuse material (and I don't mean splashing around in a bathtub), mining Bitcoin with stolen credit cards, etc etc.
Yes, considering stretch yoga and shower in afternoon.

For cold showers, I live in Bangkok and water temperature is at minimum 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit).

I wish I could take cold showers, I did an ice bath twice and it’s such a booster !
Interestingly, our SRE people specifically have a rule "never share the DB and the app on the same server", because apparently a high load on the DB can decrease the overall performance of the server. It also allows them to freely add new DB servers (sharding) without touching the app server
Yes, I've been in this situation too. What at a first glance might look like the best of both worlds - low bureaucracy and solid funding - turns out to be the worst of both worlds: all of the bureaucracy of the mother company plus the risk of the whole project getting the axe every quarter because it doesn't make any profits
And don’t you feel hungry ?

0. Learning curve is not even remotely close to C++ and all it's gotchas. And it will never be so. What has to be explained in every one of these threads, Rust is becoming EASIER to use with time not more. New releases make the std nicer and they remove language limitations.

1. Plenty of tools to keep track of your dependencies. It is also entirely possible to go it your own way and keep dependencies very low. You just have to implement more things yourself. Dependencies don't just insert themselves into your code on their own.

2. I don't even understand what you mean. Rust has a ton of very good resources to learn from coming from all knowledge levels. You can also use Rust at an entirely C level and only use as many advanced abstractions as you are comfortable with.
But rust still allows declaring returning a trait instead of explicit types.
AI can't generate layers.

I've looked at the guys portfolio, his portfolio is filled with the same style, stable diffusion didn't exist back then.
I find latency on gmail (for work or otherwise) makes gmail unusable. I am more latency sensitive than most of my colleagues though.
Is there a status page?
This was a nice read! Thanks for sharing OP! Need more of these articles. Practical HOWTOs like this go much further along in convincing people to use Lisp than plain advocacy which more often than not rubs people the wrong away. If there are more articles like this that simply show what can be done and how it can be done there is not going to be a need for advocacy. A good HOWTO is worth a thousand words of advocacy!
This thread is like group therapy. On my current device I'd estimate ~100 chrome tabs open over 10 desktops. I try to keep them organized at least.
Last or year-before-last's container shortage + Evergrande shook that one up though.
3.5 is (as you'd expect) a revised edition of 3.0; Both are covered by the OGL 1.0 (which was created for the release of 3.0).

3.5 was an update released for balance reasons, as I understand it and didn't change core gameplay - it removed some of the more broken exploits, but you can use 3.0 material with 3.5 with relatively few, if any changes: most of the balance problem was player side.

I used to play basic D&D as a child, and then sort of ignored the whole genre until around 2005 when I picked it back up again, using 3.5, so I'm not an expert on it by any means.
I'm sure there are occasional real mistakes, but people will absolutely lie about this kind of thing. That's nothing new.

I think the people whose money was kept hostage would say the same. That is until their money got held hostage.

It's just really good at being an email provider. Reliable, privacy-respecting, good support, and with a webmail client to rival (or beat) Gmail.

Plus they frequently develop new useful features, like partnering with Bitwarden and 1Password to generate throwaway email address on the fly at your domain.

> Overall this review process was pretty bad. Very little communication and nothing I could really do directly to move things along or get any real information. It took a random Stripe employee to get an email from @dang and post on HN in order to get this issue resolved. I’m lucky because I know about HN and know that Stripe employees frequent the site, but I don’t think HN wants to become the Stripe support forum.

It may be that the errors from Stripe side are low. But communication is very vital. It did take some luck to get this resolved.
Bookmarks, open tabs, screen shots. I hear you. For me, I think it's that I insanely overestimate my free time, always thinking "there's something I'd like to get back to". And about once a month I have to close over 100 tabs that will never find the time to get back to.

There's a never ending stream of Other Stuff that consumes my time instead. Dishes, laundry, yard work, work-work, walking the dog, you name it. I envy the dog; she at least has the sense not to bookmark things she's never going to look at again.

My air fryer has a spinning thing in the middle, wich turns my chips around, so i would say thats a plus!
But yea, it is basicly a small oven. Maybe it uses less energie.
We originally used it at Tesults.com (the test automation reporting dashboard) because it's got a great API, documentation and to some degree due to the reputation of the company. Overtime, we've had no issues with it and so currently see no reason to change. It's possible we don't run into problems because Tesults is a b2b service and customers don't typically do things like charge backs and we deal with any requests for cancelations/refunds etc. promptly but that's just speculation.
The 150k is a "loss" in the same way that the movie industry "lost" $500 million (or whatever it is that they claimed) to piracy: revenue that they think they should have gotten, but didn't.
You need experience, and hands-on approach.

"3 years, and millions of dollars" — is very typical when you keep going from factory, to factory, leaving tooling investment every time they screw up.

Instead, you have to pick at least a sane, and understanding factory owner, and wait for them to improve.
A coworker of mine DM's our local Roll20 5e group. This fills the gap in my gaming left by COVID destroying my attendance at Friday Night Magic (EDH). That FLGS actually closed doors due to COVID.

Even playing online it's a nice chance to do something social with fellow English-speakers and away from my family responsibilities. As a system, I'm not hugely wedded to 5e. I'm actually doing a deep-dive worldbuilding with Traveller: The New Era (early 90's sci-fi).
See, I don't get this. Last time I tried fastmail I ended up on proton because it was just slightly... Kludgy. DNS was slow. Webmail was a mess. And the mobile client scene wasn't worth it.

That said, the billing side wasn't bad.

Mmmmmm. Stopped reading after 3 riveting articles. While well-researched and well-prepared, author’s bias has gotten too blatant for my taste. Such a shame. Will try resuming again later.
I have been Stripe user/customer almost from the beginning- personally I believe the tone and content is exactly right. So much tricky fraud in the space on the user side and on the vendor side most of them- like Square and Paypal, not to mention plain old banks- struggle, and make incorrect decisions that take a long time to resolve. Stripe (in my network experience) has always been on top of all of that. The business strikes me as singularly well operated, in addition to be strategically visionary. Cheers.
Those of you trying to curate large amounts of link should get together and create a public index of all that content. You could call the site yoohoo or something ;-)

In fraud and account closure cases, pretty much all businesses are hard to contact.

Its frustrating. While I understand, businesses do not want to give hints to scammers, there should be some way for a person to get details. For small businesses, being given the silent treatment while their livelihoods are at stake feels like bullying.
I've slowly upgraded my home server over the years, going from a Raspberry Pi 3 in grad school, to an old Mac Mini my parents had, to finally building a dedicated machine about a year ago using desktop parts.

- A few Discord bots I've written

- Jellyfin

- Nextcloud

- Home Assistant + NodeRed

- Libreddit and Invidious alternative Reddit/Youtube frontends

- Calibre-web

- A Terraria server that no one has used in a few months

- A smattering of other utilities such as Samba, MQTT, ddclient for DDNS

I also have separate Raspberry Pis running Pi-Hole and Octoprint, and a Raspberry Pi Pico running software I wrote to control my Xmas lights.
I think the answer is that you’re falling victim to some biases in how you perceive the problem.

You’re not hearing from all the happy customers and you’re possibly getting info from sites that heavily bias towards high tech and strong, loud opinions.
I think your take on Reddit is maybe misplaced. "Outrage machines" stem from algorithmic feeds that push that. Reddit pushes your own subreddits, and the popular ones are quite heavily moderated. Though I would agree that constant memes aren't terribly useful.

On the other hand, Twitter push tweets for users I don't follow, never engaged with, and tweet content I am not remotely interested in. Generally I find Twitter promotes personal attacks in a whole different way from Reddit, because you follow people, not topics.
All my VM is spam now.

I've told everyone I know (not many people!) that I hate VM, and don't usually answer it - certainly not promptly. I do usually check the missed-calls list, and call back. I never leave VM; I hang up when the robot starts talking.

The point of a phone is immediate, synchronous, person-to-person voice communication. VM comprehensively defeats that. You might as well write a letter.
I had this when I was a kid. I broke out of it as a teen thanks to taking spaced repetition systems seriously.

For one unfortunate semester in college almost a decade ago I tried to put _everything_ I found interesting into SuperMemo. I got good with all of its advanced features - adding web pages directly, incremental reading, the works. After a few weeks I was spending more time reading my SM queue than actually adding new things to it. After about 2 months I dropped out because I was spending too much time and mental energy using SuperMemo to do, you know, _work_.

I have never, ever given myself a hard time for being forgetful since. 99.999% of the information that flows through my eyes and into my brain vanishes into pleasant unintelligible neural noise and I would add more 9s to that if I could. Because the 0.001% of genuinely insightful, evergreen, _resonant_ ideas that stick around and elaborate my worldview is beautiful beyond to me.

Me too, these make a huge difference in screen ergonomics compared to just using a laptop directly, and most of them fold, so they're much more portable than an external monitor.

And using the computer like this you also get the benefit of a real keyboard that you chose yourself, and is easy to repair/replace, etc.
The random Stripe employee is me. John and I left comments with details on what we're doing to fix our failings in that particular case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34234079
All the comments here standing up for Stripe (by those with little actual first-hand knowledge on the subject) really show the value of HN. Great marketing project by YC.
Oh. I was thinking you were rewriting the firmware against the manufacturer's wishes.

I am not interested in installing bloatware drivers. Embedded IDEs OTOH...

Quine: A program which produces its own source code as output
I think which of the three is best depends on the context:

What is the code driving it?

- looping over players to update them?

- looping over objects to update them?

- some other event loop?

I actually like the third least:

The first two tell me what is happening, but the third doesn’t — I could be colliding to block motion or I could be picking up.
If it was a real problem I dare say they could ship with loose leaf pages detailing everything nobody reads.

Would be funny if people started sharing “Tell HN: Stripe released my funds on time.” posts.
It made sense to me - an Uninterruptible Power Supply should be sized according to the power draw of a computer. If these were power hungry CPUs, you would need a really beefy UPS. So that's what I thought they were trying to say!
Better yet, financial institutions and crowdsourcing platforms shouldn't play religious police.
Yes, you can do this. But in the case of the OP recognizing the revenue prior to receiving the payment makes them liable for the taxes on that revenue and that probably isn't a very clever thing to do.
They also managed to place the only buttons on the iPhone exactly opposite of another, leading to a situation that there is a 50% chance of me taking a screenshot when I just want to adjust the volume.
I'm confused about Radarr / Sonarr, is that what's directly sourcing the torrents you're downloading or are they being sourced from separate tracker(s)?
They have limitations, but I drive my second external display from my 2020 M1 MBP using a usb DisplayLink adapter plugged into my TB3 dock. DisplayLink is the chipset/driver but there are several manufacturers. You may need two adapters.
There is a lot of commercial Windows-only software out there, and most of it is C++.
From the newsletter:

I’m not suggesting that this is a bad move for Apple, but doesn’t it feel like a small pond to fish in? In 2021, audiobooks generated $1.5 billion. Let’s say Apple takes control of 50% of that market (unlikely, but it’s simple math). $750,000,000 is a lot of dough, but this is a drop in the bucket compared to Apple’s $378.32 billion in revenue from 2021. What are they really working towards with this project?
I've always found Go programs to be more noisy straced than C or C++ ones. I wonder if it's less noisy internally at Google with their userspace threading? https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200722234538.166697-1-posk@po...
Every so often when thinking about a system I find I need a default model to go back to. Like when a system seems to be complex or someone is claiming that it has some new property that makes it exceptional or whatever. It's probably possible to pick a few different models but I find the actor model usually covers it. e.g. "Well when you really look at it, it's just a bunch of actors sending messages to each other's addresses/mailboxes"
It will continue to get worse, as auto manufacturers continues to add things that are unreliable (software, touchscreens, sat-comlink, WiFi): things that do not stand the test of time.

Meanwhile I just watched my odometer passed 80,000 in my 2004 Chevy Impala.

Only thing I miss are the manual transmission and crank windows.
>I think this guy was just musing about Apple's quality and has watched a lot of AvE and This Old Tony on YouTube and wanted to share his opinions with the world. They're not all entirely correct.

IDK what the author's qualifications are but the ones you list would make him at least as qualified as whoever's "simple but wrong" take on a problem is thrice guided on Reddit or at the top of HN at any particular minute.

The reality is that if you wanna write "popular" context you gotta cater to a low common denominator, maybe not the lowest but you will have to stare deep into the abyss of ignorance and hubris to find it. A nuanced take that will pass the muster of a subject matter grey beard is going to be too nuanced, too informed by 1st/2nd hand experience and physical reality to resonate with the hordes of casual readers it needs to resonate with in order to gain any traction. Regardless of the qualifications of the author the content MUST be dumbed down to the point of being useless to anyone with the problems discussed therein in order to resonate with the audience it needs to resonate with for it to gain enough traction for us to be talking about it here (and frankly it's a lot easier to write that kind of resonating content from within the abyss than looking in above it).

I'm not really in the mood to write a sufficiently internet-nitpicker-proof wall of text but this sort of content where people opine on things of which their depth of knowledge is only a hair deeper than that of the casual or create content from that perspective despite being smarter than that is highly, highly incentivized by how we have set up the platforms and information flows that control where/how entertainment content (like a blog article or a video) gets dolled out to people seeking to consume such content.
These are ongoing services so a once off payment doesn't make sense for the business. The alternatives are self-hosting and free services, self hosting is great. If you are using free services though, they could disappear too, and you have to question the business model of anyone givingyou something for nothing.

At least if you are paying for it you are entering into a contract of service from the provider which gives you a lot of legal recourse and leverage and also supports the business so that they do keep providing you the service.
Ah how convenient, that means they don't have to take accountability for the rest of their post being misinformation.
WebKit Exploitation and Gigacage
I didn't, omg lol is really not my style. Besides that, I already have a fun domain name that I use as an email alias. I pay $10 a yearly and it gets a laugh every time I give it to someone.

Other than hosting a basic web page, the other features are not useful to me.
Even if that were true, nobody's going to believe you if they keep hearing these stories, and the only response they hear from you is "liar liar pants on fire". Your brand will keep suffering the way PayPal's has. And maybe that doesn't affect your bottom line, but it does effect hiring and morale, and makes it that much easier to launch a scrappy competitor.
I get that this is a concept, but why not use lighter-than-air drones? Either hot air (I'd see about an electric heater, no idea how feasible that is), or little helium blimps. Then just little fans to keep them in place, which could be quieter.

I think I mostly want to see little blimp/airship swarms be a thing that I could buy, given a lottery win or two.
Hear, hear. Unfortunately, social outrage is a good way to have attention from big companies. So, of course, it has become a fraud in itself.
