That's exactly why ads are pushed on TV, is it not? They're called direct to consumer but they really aren't for the consumer...they're for doctors to consciously or subconsciously gain a favorable opinion about the drug by hearing about it frequently.

It seems to be a pattern with (not just) Microsoft products to hang the UI while waiting for some remote API, usually talking to the home base. Happens a lot to me with Office desktop apps - they freeze sometimes for a good second or so while starting and more surprisingly also when closing. One time it bothered me so much, that I recorded an ETW and unsurprisingly the time during the hang was spent waiting for some http request. I noticed that often the online version of these apps (namely Outlook) are more responsive than the desktop counterparts.

React can be used both on the server and client side. That is a benefit over something that can be only used on the server side.

React can even be both on server and client using 1 codebase (see Next.js). But it seems the PHP police here on HN does not allow me to compare that solution to a solution in PHP.

Charging at work seems like the thing to do. Not only is there excess solar energy at that time, but workplaces are more concentrated than homes so the installation costs for chargers should be less.
Inflation over the past 6 months has been less the 1%[0].
This is right on target for the Fed, 2% for the year. The the 6 months before that is where the bulk of the 6.5 yearly cpi increase comes from. Inflation is a rate and it is dropping. According to the CPI prices did drop last month as there was a negative inflation rate.

Ask HN: Is todays IT infrastructure to much depended on few key players?
It seems to me that today IT services depend to much on few large providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, etc.

They seem to be to-big-to-fail, but are they actually now single points of failure for modern IT infrastructure?

Was the old way (each company would have its own data/data-center/network/infrastructure) was more prone to errors and failures?

It seems to me that internet this days is pretty centralized.
That is what most people would call "a distinction without a difference".
- Laravel has many "admin libraries" (Voyager, Orchid, Filament, Twill, Backpack, ...), some of them open core, each with their own idiosyncrasies. Symfony has EasyAdmin.

- Laravel uses Inertia for Vue.js or React integration while Symfony has an integrated solution with Symfony UX

- Symfony has become more modular with Symfony Flex

- Symfony has put a lot of effort into improving "developer experience" in the Symfony DX initiative

- Symfony has brillant docs in many languages including a new open book by Fabien Potencier and other Symfony collaborators

Swichting to custom launchers (ueli or Flow Launcher for e.g.) has worked wonders for me.

That being said, it was really fun to read the article. The amount of work and knowledge that went into this has to be immense. Thanks for sharing!
I take your point this feels different and may in the longterm need a new definition. I think what feels wrong to us is how easy it is to create these images and how good some of them turn out. However, the equation of 'work', i.e. it taking a longtime or a specific talent, whatever, has been ingrained in us as worthwhile.

Unfortunately, in the art world there have been plenty of well known artists (even some masters) who made extensive use of assistants and in some cases never even touched a canvas. Or more to the point were incapable of actually producing the final product. However, they are still the artist of note for the piece as it was their 'idea' or they created the style, etc. So clearly its not as simple as 'it should be hard' or 'work' that makes someone an artist and their work of worth. See Warhol and many pop artists for pieces of extreme value, but of relative ease to produce. Again I fall back to the prompt being the 'idea' and the truly artistic thing, even if stable diffusion or whatever is doing the work. (https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1611/life-in-a-renaissa...)
I can relate on not feeling like you’ll find a meaningful bond with anyone. It’s difficult to define, but I have this nagging sense that I’m not the same type of thing as whoever I’m interacting with. I see people all around me and it’s like they’re another type of entity altogether. I’m pretending to be one, but I know I’m not. They know it too, though they’re not always conscious of it.

I know I’m just another human being with weird thoughts. There isn’t anything that odd or special about me in the scheme of things. But the sense of that, the experience of feeling like an “other” or an imposter, is excruciatingly isolating.

I find it hard to simply order coffee at times because in my mind, I feel as though I’m operating the marionette that people see as “me” and watching from behind its shoulders.
I'd say the reality is even more ironic - they collect so much data and reports, pretending this is to help to improve the user experience, but in the end it makes the experience so much worse.
I have to wonder if this isn't a long standing thing - like for hundreds of years. In the past the boats were wood and metal - and rotted away. Now they are plastic boats and it's another story.

I would imagine they do that a lot. They seem to have YKK'd the manufacturing of manhole covers and I can't imagine that anyone else could do it better or cheaper.

Edit: if anyone didn't get the YKK reference, look at any zipper you own. Chances are it says 'YKK' on it. YKK of Japan has perfected zipper-making and dominates the market.

Are bad capacitors common? I bought a brand new motherboard over the holidays, and one of the capacitors appeared to be leaking [1]. I went back to get it exchanged and the experience was interesting.

The representative initially agreed that the capacitor was bad. He grabbed a new board, pulled it out of the bag, and literally the same problem. Same capacitor even, which was unfortunate for me because the new determination was that maybe they're supposed to be like that? They had a tech in the store who claimed that it was residue from some kind of "conformal coating", and that 7/10 boards have capacitors that look like that. Somehow the residue is biased to appear directly under the capacitors, but that wasn't exactly explained. He also claimed that capacitors don't leak, at least the type on this board.

Eventually I just asked for one of the 3/10 boards that didn't have that residue, and the store was gracious enough to do that for me, but insisted that there was no issue the whole way.

They had to flip through 4 boards before finding one without residue under any capacitors, and I still don't know if I was being unreasonable.

Thanks, that answered a bunch of questions that popped to my mind while watching the video. One of those being just how much these cost.

> Typically, a designed manhole cover, which weighs more than 80 pounds, excluding the frame, costs approximately $585—a five percent premium over the cost of a plain cover. The color, however, is applied carefully by hand, and nearly doubles the price of a manhole to more than $900.

The thing that's a bummer with deprioritizing performance is it makes people less willing to experiment/try things/dabble. With immediate response times there's no cost to saying hell with it and searching for other possibilities in the start menu (as an example related to this). Instead we just do what we've always done because we have to wait for far too long.

While the ETW is helpful with a deep dive into problem analysis, a look into the Event Viewer can give some initial hint about crashing processes and other system/app faults.

A lot of projects have been built with React and new ones start every day. React's here to stay for at least another 15 years (imo). Websites like these could be at least good as documentation of React features/patterns used in old React codebases you have to maintain in future. These assumptions lead me to believe that websites like these will age incrediblly well.

Amazon trials Prime Lite membership in India
What if you were reimbursed 5x your meter price for the power you sell back to the grid? With electricity spot market, this sort of money is around and should of course go to the vehicle owners, at least a big share of it. Only a fraction of the total battery capacity would be involved in this scheme and with light load, so the battery degradation would not be that big. And this would not happen daily.
tldr; The company expects pre-pandemic availability for Q3/2023.

I am the author of pigar[1], and I am using Go a lot, Go has its problems too, but I am a fan of `import "url"` style import statement, developers can write code first, and sync the dependency later with `go mod tidy`.

To fix problems in Python's world, Python's community should simplify the tools and cultivate a habit to declare the dependency first(maybe this should be mandatory).

Some of these seem to be new installs since they're also making the mating ring that goes around it. That mating ring is embedded in concrete.

Also, since they seem to have the concept of painted manhole covers, I would imagine that they would replace slightly more often than we do to commemorate special events.

Manhole cover theft is a problem too (as part of general scrap metal theft as the cost of iron and other metals has risen) but I would imagine it's less of a problem in a society like Japan.

Deterministic is not the same as bounded. Deterministic means you can determine the moment the destruction happens and you can estimate its upper bound (knowing how much you want to release), not that it always happens in 100 ns. You also get a guarantee that when a certain point in code has been reached, then a resource has been freed.

As for the cost it takes to release the resources, in MMM/borrow checking/refcounting this is typically bounded by the amount of stuff to release. In tracing GC it is bounded by the total amount of stuff on the heap, which is typically several orders of magnitude larger value.

Great article. I love Windows deep dives—both because of the supposed inaccessibility of Windows (clearly not true), and because Windows is something I've daily-driven for 23 years, and I've come to really appreciate.

There is a new episode of the POD Freakconomics named “Is it bad to be a one hit wonder” and it touches this topic.

It’s a really good episode.

A book that also touches the same topic is Quit by Annie Duke.

One takeaway from the book is our bias against quitting. We should probably quit more often. So basically, if you are thinking about quitting, then you should already have quit, since there are biases working against the quitting decision.

I liked it because it made me view quitting in a new light. As a sign of strength.

I’ll finish with a quote from Homer Simpson: “It’s never too late to quit!”.
I'm gonna try that everywhere now :P

Agreed a process cannot be copyrighted. Unfortunately, neither can a 'style', and to my knowledge the amount of 'work' that went into a piece doesn't necessarily effect copyright to my knowledge. I could setup a camera facing outside my window and press the button (with my finger to keep things simpler) every 10 seconds or so for several hours. No framing, thought of subject matter, lighting, just press the button, i.e. very little 'work'. At the end I would have a number of images that I hold copyright too. Legally (to my knowledge), they would have no greater or lesser legal protection then a shot I took on the top of mount Everest, with great care, framing subject, at a certain time of day, showing all my mastery of photographic arts (i.e. lots of work).

Sadly, I think artists have a better chance trying to limit their works inclusion in the datasets then making any claim as far as how easy it is to use AI. It likely, will fall along web scraping cases, which I'm not knowledgeable enough to say one way or another. However, it doesn't bode well that I can put an artists name into google image and see several examples of their work, this feels like public access and to my laymans mind would fall under fair use.

Does much of the $1-2M that is invested get paid back to the studio, in dev fees? I could see some founders falling for a trap like that, where it looks like you're getting a bunch of investment, but most of it is predestined to flow back into the studio's pocket.

Some things which stand out to me at a glance:

- it’s open source
- it allows publishing to the web
- it provides handy web-based tooling, like turning your data into a JSON api
- it provides a user-friendly UI but also lets you dig deeper with plain old SQL (pro to some, con to others)
- apparently has an extensible core with a rich plugin ecosystem which allows it to meet a wide range of needs

I’m sure there’s more, but these are all really interesting to me.

Strictly speaking, I don't think there's any technological reason why you couldn't replace the shell, although practically I'd bet the boot chain will refuse to load e.g. a replacement compositor that's not signed by Microsoft, not to mention the lack of API documentation at that level. I mention it since sometimes I daydream about trying to force a newer Windows runtime/kernel to load an older shell...

Still, in a manner of speaking, this is encouraged for the Server SKUs, which IIRC Microsoft is trying to push the "GUI-less" version which you do all configuration on remotely with powershell and DCOM and the other half dozen RPC interfaces in Windows. It's not a replacement shell, but it is an example of running WinNT with the UI front-end hacked off.
