It's Not Just About You and Your Parents
Very well written, and I like that it ends on this note:

> Looking at my hypotheses, I was wrong on all counts

The author expected some things, and had good reasons to, then did a lot of serious work, and ended up finding out somewhat different things. Impressive and honest exploration of a complex topic that is quite hard to measure.
Let me jump to the conclusion. I already don't use GNOME. My problem with their "my way or the highway" attitude is its impact on the broader linux ecosystem. A great example of this is client side decoration (CSD). Since gnome uses client side decoration, non gnome apps often don't have any window controls in gnome, and conversely gnome apps draw unwanted, redundant client side window decorations in environments with server side decorations (or in my case, no decorations).

Another example is, from what I've seen gnome has had a lot more resistance to standardizing new wayland protocols from wlroots than KDE, because minimal compositors have a very different paradigm than gnome, and gnome isn't interested in supporting other paradigms.
From a paraglider: we are definitely paying attention to the new iphone SOS feature, many of us who fly over wilderness areas carry a spot or in-reach. We never activate in the air (no point), so having to point it in a specific direction is not an issue. Being blocked by limbs or terrain would be an issue.

Some people carry air-band radios, but largely we use the ham frequencies. Air band would be of limited utility for emergencies since we would just be using an aircraft as a relay to ATC to SAR. Satellite trackers have one button that does all of that without having to deal with air-band.
Neither India or China had named the mountain (hence 'K2'), it is far from any trade route or village, the approach takes a month and you finally end up at a glacier which is still 10 miles from the base of the mountain. Starting in June there are heavy floods that render the rivers impassable until fall. It takes a month of porters and camels transporting 10-15K pounds of equipment and food. There is no recorded or verbal history of anyone making that effort, no recorded or oral history of high altitude mountain climbing as a sport prior to these early attempts, no villages or routes remotely nearby, no evidence of the kind of equipment that would be needed (ice axes & rock climbing gear - it is full on mixed climbing). It's pretty safe to say they were the first for any reasonable definition of "attempt".

Not to mention at the top of the article they write

> Crowley is notable as the first Westerner to attempt K2 ...
Ask HN: Our app has been attacked – How do you handle?
Our App** has been recently attacked in the last 24 hours.

Someone is testing and doing security checking on our platform** without our consent. Even though, this has not made any single dent on our performance, Since our architecture is rock solid, but we failed on throttling user's request.

We have received massive entries in our database from multiple attackers.

We have temporarily disabled few things while we add throttling, but wanted to ask, how do you guys handle such attacks, when you receive them on your end?

*Our internal chat screenshot - https://i.imgur.com/VPuBdnA.jpg

**our app that is under attack by spammers - qocial.com, we launched a week ago and we shared our URL on reddit ( this is where I believe attackers are coming from )

Looking for some valuable feedback, if you report them at some places or just move on and add or improve throttling to requests, feel free to share your feedback please.

Thanks
> compression

Remember those Xerox scanners that randomly changed numbers and letters around, because the compression algorithm sometimes thought a 0 looked a bit too much like an 8 and got them mixed up? I can't wait until that starts happening for spoken words. Even in the examples demonstrated here you can hear quite a few flubbed lines.
I can't tell you why users flagged it, and we don't often unflag things that users have flagged. But if you want a reason: the comment wasn't just saying a couple of true things neutrally; it was baiting a drama that has already played out repetitively quite a few times, and is not possible to discuss publicly.
Exactly: this is the normal analogy used for understanding voltage and current. In a pipe with water, you could have a gargantuan pipe carrying water from a lake or river, at very low pressure (only gravity is moving it), but with a gigantic volume, so the total energy is huge. Or you could have a tiny pipe in your house with water at high pressure (60-90 psi is normal for municipal water supplies), but the total amount of water is low, so the total energy is low compared to that huge pipe with river water.
Having done one myself, I blew off the fuses and burned some wires, because I bought a wrong thing,so yeah, it's a 5 min job but you still need to know what to do.
The thing that irks me on these "xx% faster" articles is that they always achieve this by adding more cores. Nice, very impressive. Now, let me see those single core benchmarks.
That's why I force my browser to show the full URL, without fancy "we know what is better for you" things.
But do you run and lift for 40-60hrs a week for 40 years? If I did an hour or two of electrical work a day instead of 8 to 10 my knees would probably have lasted longer than 17 years.
I'm not aware of schools, universities, or hospitals using Linux/Gnome. I've heard of it for some US Government systems, where they seem wedded to Red Hat. All the medical computers I've ever seen are running Windows.

Maybe RH has a bunch of institutional customers I'm completely unaware of, but as far as I can tell, the Gnome devs seem to be trying to build a GUI aimed at mythological users: non-technical users they somehow think are going to switch to Linux Real Soon Now if only they can entice them with their holy ultra-simplified GUI. The real world doesn't work this way.
I've had the same thought about taking out predatory loans and then filing to have them canceled.

In my jurisdiction predatory loans are unenforceable.
Which is what makes it doubly tragic when they are not needed, but shipped anyways.
I think that’s way too high (for commenter count).

Lurkers are 90%, 10% have accounts, and 10% of those with accounts comment. This was the breakdown of some major subreddits maybe 6 years ago.
Not unless the function signatures overlap entirely. That's rare enough that I don't think I've ever? encountered it in several years of writing Nim.
Is HN going to be black barred for this?
That is interesting… but to my intuition, it seems like that would have the opposite effect? You are offset in the “wrong” direction, ie the sun and the moon are further “down” and more obscured by the earth? I might be thinking all wrong about this, though.

I’d also question if this can have any meaningful effect on the sun, which is about 23500 Earth radii away. That’s a very, very slight perspective shift.
Is that a thing? I don't think taking "performance enhancing drugs" is safe or allowed in my country, and I would definitely report coworkers to HR if I would find out they did. It's not fair to compete against someone like that.
Uhhh nice try on your comprehension.

Let's try this again. Sex is supposed to be raw and wild. Not what religious people want to push as pure and innocent.

So my question to you again- what about "porn" is not natural sex? Even though the question is kind of stupid in itself because porn means a lot of things. But you are the one that said it.

So please explain my pure friend.
If you want to squeeze it into one sentence, obviously it will be lossy. That's the whole point of summarization.

Has sharing between the web and RN worked out for you? It seems like it hasn’t for many, or any high profile apps.

Even mobile web and non-web mobile are quite different platforms, even at the UI layer. There are many different expectations, platform norms, and interaction differences that don’t work well in browsers or across platforms. I’d love to seen an example of it working well but I haven’t yet.

Ask HN: Lost my phone, find my iPhone and Uber require SMS to reach driver
This is surreal. I left my phone on the uber it should be easy to reach the driver but both icloud and uber require two factor to reach the driver. I'm in a foreing country what can I do.
One problem with dbus is that some compositors (for example sway) have a design goal of working in environments where dbus isn't available. And even if that weren't the case it means applications need to deal with multiple asynchronous protocols, which isn't that big of a deal if you are already depending on a big toolkit like gtk, but for a lightweight application that is working directly with wayland (or, say a game that draws everything itself and doesn't use a widget toolkit), it adds a lot of complexity.
Anecdotal data points here, but four different people I know wanted to buy a new car the past year.

Nobody found cars on lots.

One guy bought a Tesla literally because he could buy a car and felt waiting a few months for delivery was his only real option.

Another couple had a minivan shipped all the way from Nebraska.

The remaining two haven’t purchased a car. They would rather wait till cars they like come back to lots.

These played out over Q2/Q3 2022. Not sure if the situation is different now.

The automobile industry did this to themselves. I’m not a Tesla fan, but I see them winning by literally being the only manufacturer who is able to deliver cars to customers these past years.

(Yes, there are a ton of caveats and my sample size is small and doesn’t reflect *reality (TM)* etc etc)

For $1400, I can speed-drive myself in a pre-owned car. Or ride a motorcycle, or get an E-bike. The price is gonna have to come way down for it to be palatable.
Great project! I have a playlist that I use to keep track of videos that my young kid likes to watch, but wanted to get away from yt because of the ads, related videos, comments, autoplaying next vids, etc. So I just followed the simple instructions and bam, I have all the videos on my computer now with a UI that is even easier to use for him.

Very nice, thank you!
You can get this feature at their lowest end model of that series (CA49), though it may lack some other aspects of the resonance modeling that they reserve for higher end models. I believe almost all digitals starting at $2000 across the board have this feature, and the limiting factor that'll hold you back from hearing it all at the lower end of the price range is the audio setup that comes with the keyboard.

I remember discovering this feature when I held down all keys from A0 through E1 (without sounding them), depressed the sostenuto pedal, and then played a bunch of other keys.
I've always been interested in trying skateboarding, but my balance is absolutely miserable (due to a vestibular injury), so I sort of just know better than to try. Balance declines for a lot of people naturally with age, so that's one reason you might not see fogies on skateboards.

These shoes look more doable to me. I can't help thinking they're still not really a great idea for anyone with balance / reaction speed / other issues, though. Slamming into a wall or nearly falling while at normal walking speed isn't a big deal, but doubling the speed changes the equation.

Another issue is the desire to appear dignified... tough to do on a skateboard. Nigh-on impossible on a Segway. These shoes? Not sure, but they do look a bit silly.
I think you're probably underestimating how many people are going to care about Mastodon.

Looks like these fall into the "structured comments" category, based on seeing /** */ and /// in a repository I found. Does it also have a story for doc tests?
Which is why we have special rules for "Show HN" threads (this thread isn't one of those) that forbid that behavior.

YC is NOT representative of CS, or most faang employees even. It’s extremely stressful, high stakes and high risk. I wouldn’t do it, and most people I know in tech wouldn’t either.

Out of extremely high stakes games, my understanding is this has always been male dominated. So you’d have to first take the prerequisite ratio (for instance if CS degree, it’d be ~19% women, in the US) and then multiply by some risk taking factor, perhaps by comparing to other ventures in domains with 50-50 to get some form of baseline.

I mean hell, we don’t even know the ratio of applicants.
1. You could literally just input stack overflows data and it would be able to answer the same questions. ChatGPT is running on years old data and isn't even connected to the internet right now, the future will be way better.
2. Again Google is also wrong in subtle and even not so subtle ways. I've seen highlighted answers that are just dead wrong thanks to the SEO takeover. In Google clicks = right answer very often. It's essentially a popularity contest and try finding anything obscure on Google.
3. It's not going to write entire programs but it's amazing for simple one module tasks, but sometimes that is all you need to build into something bigger. You can even ask it tell you how to program and continually ask 'and how do I do that' and find the answer (similar to google which you'll be also be lucky to find anything useful on your first search or first link). It's more like an instructor than Google because with Google you don't know what you don't know. Most programmers are actually just good at searching for answers and this is a short cut. You can get 10 ways to program the same thing if you ask the question slightly differently. Just like I was talking about art, you get 100 solutions if you want and just choose the best. It's not replacing programmers but it sure as hell makes the job easier.
I would somewhat disagree with that.
My household eats rice on a daily basis and the timings for different kinds of rice varies wildly.
Basmati, Sona masuri, jasmine, risotto, jeera samba rice have very different water and rice measures. And that's just white rice!
Other rice variations are a whole different ball game.
I wonder what computation resources are needed to generate these in real-time (if it's even possible to do real-time). Very impressive.
Does this article account for the fact that a rustc compilation does more things than simple C++ default compilation, where you need to run address sanitizers etc. to do the same as rustc?

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2022/10/catl-will-mass-produce...

In mass production this year in China will be 160 wh/kg Sodium Ion and the company claims it can be 90-95% density cell-to-pack because sodium ion is like LFP: doesn't require as much safety stuff as the nickel-cobalt chemistries (which reduces pack density to only 60-70% of the cell density).

That's (based on current reputed pack densities of Tesla Model 3 SRs) good enough for the 300 mile consumer BEV. As in, the city car for a huge percentage of the world population.

I believe the roadmap is to get sodium ion to 200 wh/kg in a couple years, with good CTP yield means 400 mile cars like Model S. NO LITHIUM. NO NICKEL. NO COBALT.

Sodium Sulfur will probably happen in another 10 years based on papers. That may offer 400-500 wh/kg IIRC.
Matlab has the opposite where your syntactically valid but mysteriously non-working code suddenly has a large array.

EDIT:
On the other hand, I think Matlab's array(end - number) indexing syntax is a good compromise of convenience and less error prone explicitness.

Is it just me, or does the spoken content not correspond with the written prompt in many cases? Though, I’m sure it’s just a problem with matching the right file with the text in the HTML and not a TTS problem.

Focusing on the idea that it is a made up degree is pretty weird. Of course it is. It is a way of conveying a point. Not everything needs a Wikipedia link. :) it reminds of people that whip their phones out to look up every minute thing mentioned in a conversation. The point is that people have talked about useless degrees to the point that they are lampooned for, as you say, 50+ years, which certainly predates 90s kids. Therefore, there was a widespread cultural awareness that a gender studies degree is not likely to be as valuable as electrical engineering. I think too often people think college education is not needed because they can just Google things but they don’t think how much more efficient it is to just know things and be able to reason for themselves.
I wonder whether signing with finger-drawn “I don’t agree” would be a solution that satisfies all sides?
I'm so tired of the constant battle to make very simple, innocent ideas political.

TLDR - Calorine Ellison is pleading guilty to 4 counts:

* conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers

* conspiracy to commit wire fraud on lenders

* conspiracy to commit securities fraud

* conspiracy to commit money laundering

She is waiving the right to appeal, must be a witness for the prosecution, and she is agreeing that the maximum sentence recommendation imposed on her is 20 years in jail and a $250k fine.
Compare these two things, though. Would you be upset if strangers from around the globe don't pay heed to your beautiful garden? Friends, sure. Family, sure. Neighbours even. As for strangers all over the globe, I wouldn't care much about their opinion of my garden. They're busy with their own gardens, or admiring their friends', neighbours' etc. gardens. You may differ on that.

I get your point, but I still see it as trying to wring some lovin' from strangers on the Internet. That's the entire MO of sites like TikTok, so it clearly is a thing.
Python has keyword arguments to functions. In that context, a single star packs or unpacks a list of positional arguments and a double star packs or unpacks a dictionary of keyword arguments.
Ask-HN - System-Design as Code
What - I am working on a specification/language which can describe a traditional system design process for web-services.

Why - Having a language for system-design will improve design interviews and system documentation. It can also give rise to "Competitive Designing" industry same as "Competetive Programming" exists currently.

How - I am exploring existing specs (Docker-compose, OpenAPI and UML) and a way to merge them. They will define the system.

For the actual execution, I will use the spec to setup a sandbox environments and run blank instances of services in them. Then I would use custom defined API flows from the spec to simulate an actually running system.

This is not the hard part. The hard part is finding a way to benchmark these API flows which gives reliable scores for the effectiveness of the system for a given problem and API flows.

Happy to discuss more.

And keep in mind the Nickel-Cobalt Lithium ion chemistries are responsible for the "battery fire" Tesla stories.

So the Nickel-Cobalt batteries require a lot of cooling and safety systems. So this reduces the PACK level density to 60-70% from the lofty cell densities. So 240 wh/kg nickel cobalt chems drop to 160-180 at pack level.

LFP and Sodium Ion do not have such issues. They are inherently safer, so the Pack densities are potentially 90-95% of cell density with good design.

And to emphasize, CATL is putting into PRODUCTION in 2023 160 wh/kg sodium ion.

The other trick is to mix lithium and sodium ion cells in the same pack. So you do half at 160 wh/kg sodium, and half at 210 wh/kg LFP (LFP is hitting that in 2023 as well), then you get 185 wh/kg effectively.

IMO this Sodium Ion announcement marks when/where the barrier to electrifying 80-90% of consumer transportation AND allow India and China to get their own cars. It should just be a factory scaling issue now.

IMO this means the BEV drivetrain will be fundamentally cheaper than the ICE drivetrain by 30% in possibly 2-3 years. ICE cars will simply not be price competitive. The BEV will accelerate better, smoother, more reliable, be cheaper in maintenance, more torque/towing ability, AND it will be cheaper when you buy a new car.

That's for a 300 mile fast-charge electric car, with roadmaps to 400 mile with 200 wh/kg sodium ion.

Again, if sodium sulfur hits 2x to that (the research papers say 3-4x) in 5-10 years, that means the number of cells and cost to make the car and vehicle weight all drop that much more. You'll have 500-600 mile range cars that possibly cost half of what an ICE drivetrain would.
