Truly, what compels a person to do such a thing? I too have struggled heavily with depression in the past, but I've never once felt the urge to repeatedly vandalize anyone's property.

Yes! And it’s actually not either/or for us, we still use Docker Compose to run our services (Redis, PostgreSQL, etc) that don’t require file syncing with the host. It’s good at that.
This is excellent news.

I'm not ready to set this up, since I still use a few Big Sur and Monterey machines.
That's my usual line when people talk about smell being indicative of how safe something is.

Farts smell. Carbon monoxide doesn't.
The recent and ongoing events clearly show that politicians do not learn anything from history, as the lust for power, money, notoriety, and what not, is too strong.
Or better yet, when someone drives anywhere, predict if there was a faster way they could have gone, and take that as a candidate scenic view.
Ruby on Rails is designed for making entire websites, not just small services. It has a massive amount of built-in libraries, integration, and a rich plugin ecosystem for that purpose.

If you wanted to write a small backend in Ruby, you would typically use Sinatra.

So you’re comparing apples to orchards. :)
There is no reason for conspiracy theories. Spotify simply made a bet in being able to be more than a commodified middleman, which has not yet (and may not) pan out.

Warner/Sony/Universal music groups are also not opaque, they are all publicly traded companies, just like Spotify. It just so happens that they have more negotiating power than Spotify, so they can dictate more favorable terms.

Also, artists are free to make deals directly with Spotify/Google/Amazon/Apple if they want to bypass the record labels.
Much, much more vulnerable
Hello. Old Compugraphic 8400 typesetting operator here [welcome to the 1980s]. Also old hand at PageMaker and Quark Xpress.

If it doesn't support kerning, it's not really a typesetting system. I would call this a "mathematical formula editor" but not a "typesetting system."

To be more conformant to my expectations for a typesetting system, I'd suggest to add more information to the docs so you can understand how to specify things like font face, font size, horizontal and vertical element positioning and line spacing, etc.
This is exactly why I’m keeping my eye on RedwoodJS. They are coming for the crown.
I'd imagine it's simple "well, you don't have choice and we don't want to give paypal cut and deal with those crooks when we have our own payment infrastructure"
I think you've got that arse about. Don't you want to know that the car you just bought wasn't stolen?
The issue may be that the old binary is still able to run.
It's because its used as a vehicle for bribery. See Jose Huizar the former LA city councilmember who pleaded guilty for bribery a few days ago. If its easy to get things built then no one would be paying you in paper bags of cash to get things built.
Why Bother with Cucumber Testing?
Rather than this $3k product, I think I could really use a higher resolution, less clunky Quest 2. Even if it could only work tethered to a PC for Steam VR and/or work standalone as a large virtual desktop monitor with a USB-C video/audio input.
Yes! Right on the money! Thanks for coming back to state that it makes sense to you now.
I am curious if people with your attitude think it is OK to try and be sneaky to trick users like that, or if you are not aware that is what is happening?
The size of the Earth is incomprehensible - if Earth was a basketball ball in your hands, all the mountains and deepest trenches of the oceans would make the surface imperfections of under 1mm (1/20 inch) high/deep. The average ocean depth of 3km would be 3.7 times less than that - exactly the height of basketball bumps. Earth's atmosphere would reach 1cm (half an inch) but 3/4 of its mass would be under those imperfections. The atmosphere is 5 times heavier than all water combined, but its mass is just one millions of the total Earth's mass. Screwing up atmosphere is "easier", especially since burning transforms dense (solid and liquid) C-H containing materials into much less dense gas.
Same with USD held abroad.
Apple's unified memory is great for bandwidth and efficiency and terrible for upgrades.

However, I suspect that a large portion of PCs are used as-is and are replaced rather than upgraded, much like phones or tablets.

It's worth noting that Steve Jobs was originally against RAM and other upgrades for the Macintosh. It was supposed to be an appliance like a toaster, and (most) toasters are non-upgradable. He also didn't want it to have a fan - making it more like a toaster or a MacBook Air.

And this is a very good thing indeed. One thing I really love about the system here is we have detailed code and objective inspections based on it. Creates safe structures that can be planned and priced and immune to bribery.

The problem is the cops tend not to give a shit.
At least in the US, folks seem extremely sensitive to direct prices and are consequently penny-wise and pound-foolish (not in a Vimes's Boots way), where they could've spent an extra 5% or 10% on a better product or service and been happier for it, perhaps even saving more in short-term indirect costs. Even against a "free" product or service, spending $30 or $50 might save multiples in time -- but IME folks are really bad at pricing indirect costs.
Wait -- why do I need Hammerspoon to trigger an AppleScript that I wrote?

Actually, now that I think about it, isn't this easier to do:

1. Write the AppleScript (done)
2. Save it as an app
3. Assign a right-command to that app.
4. There is no step 4.
Except it doesn’t, otherwise people would be already using it. Everyone knows about crypto, its not like it needs marketing.
Citizens Arrests are very dangerous and pretty much never worth the risk. Even ignoring the many physical dangers of such an act, if the person “arrested” doesn’t get convicted (also pretty sure it has to be a felony conviction, at least here in MA, though IANAL), it opens you up to a false arrest, or possibly a false imprisonment, charge.
All I'm seeing on this subject by him is the book mentioned elsewhere in this thread where the summary claims close and sustained contact with the Carthaginians. The only supporting evidence I'm finding for that assertion is that he's devised new etymologies that connect Proto-Germanic to semitic roots.

All he does is mention that they've made these connections linguistically. He doesn't cite any peer-reviewed papers on the subject. Just the book. If you click the linked text throughout that article, you'll get a few Wikipedia pages, Encyclopedia Britannica Online, and a few other web pages that don't back up his claims.

I'm having trouble taking the theory seriously when he can't seem to pull up any real evidence besides wishful thinking.
Oh I mean I could be way off, but the more I learn about how the Earth functions the more it seems like it's a whole bunch of spinning plates and upsetting any of them to the point that they stop spinning means the whole party (more or less) stops. There's certainly more to it than being roughly the right size, roughly the right composition, and in the "goldilocks zone". The only reason it works is that the plates (to continue the metaphor) self-stabilize when they get bumped, on account of the spinning. Take away even one of them and one of our cycles that keep things nice & cozy for complex life instead goes up-and-right or down-and-right... permanently.

Things like plate tectonics to periodically send material down to the mantle, pull fresh material back up, and pump all kinds of stuff into the atmosphere, are really important for maintaining long-term stability. Imagine how much less life the oceans could support without rivers dumping disolved nutrients into them all the time—and those rivers have nutrients to dump, even billions of years into our planet's history, because of plate tectonics, because there's a water cycle at all, et c.

There are other filters, too. Hard for an aquatic intelligent species to kick-start civilization—how will they get started using fire? One can come up with ways, maybe, kinda, but would they stumble on those methods the way we stumbled on fire, almost effortlessly (then still took many millennia to discover how to do much more with it than burn forests/grasslands, cook food, excavate shallow caves, and harden wooden points)? For some high-clouds ecosystems (as some speculate may exist) on planets that can't support (much) life at ground level... how would an intelligent species there build anything? The only materials available would be parts of other high-altitude life forms. That's assuming you could get enough biomass up there to supply the kind of readily-available energy and nutrients an active, complex, smart life-form needs to be able to gather from its environment in the first place. That sort of thing. Plus you're counting on the emergence of physical features necessary for tool use at all (like our hands) which is something that pretty much only climbing species develop, as a side-effect of needing to grip things all the time.

I think there are lots of things working against the emergence of not just complex life, not just intelligent life, but coordinated civilizations with long-term retention and transmission of knowledge that can accomplish things we might associate with advanced alien life forms. Even if life turns out to be very common, I expect complex life is not, intelligent life even less so, and civilization vanishingly rare. But, again, I could be wrong—it's all guesswork, really.
Google has YouTube live and just outbid everyone to get the (American) football deal that DirecTV use to have.

Google is playing a slightly different game.
Compression and deduplication are different things although there is some overlap. The theory behind each is quite different. The only compressor that I know that has deduplication option in it is rar 5 and higher.
Society doesn’t have to be a big nebulous thing. It can just mean the immediate family, the community, the town, the local economic situation.
I understand that. But you cannot assume they won't help. These guys didn't even try contacting the police before hatching a late-night scheme.

For what it's worth, in my (regrettably several) experiences with stalkers/harassers, this situation would have been taken extremely seriously.

"Masked guy repeatedly visits at night to write threatening messages on car of single woman living alone" is... about as explicit as you can get.
Fentanyl (and the derivative the vaccine works on) have very short half-lives, which is ideal for _minimal_ dosing during surgery. Any drug that lengthens the QT interval, or fucks with the S wave will bring about catastrophic heart failure in people with conduction channel issues. The only time alternative anesthetics are given to me for example is to induce heart failure in order to test new leads.

I find the idea of a vaccine that makes therapeutic drugs fail to work quite scary personally.
I mean, are they late to all the parties though? I think ChatGPT has the momentum to corner the end-user market. It's one of the best tools out there that can help writers, developers and any profession that uses text communication.

Google and Facebook might be better at some things, and maybe Apple too. But none of them has brought to market a chatbot that works pretty well(and not just as a party trick) and is very accessible to anyone on the Internet. I would love it if open up Siri such that I can communicate with it on a site just like ChatGPT.
Sorry, won't subscribe just to try a demo.
You have to take TripAdvisor and similar sites with a very large grain of salt.

I recall a low-star "review" of a nearby (and excellent) bird sanctuary where the text said something like "It would be okay if you like birds, I guess". Left unstated was why someone who didn't like birds would go to a bird sanctuary in the first place.

Now, in that case, the poor quality of the review was apparent, but it's not always that obvious. Others from the local region:

A (very good) seafood restaurant got panned because "the tilapia was frozen, not fresh". Given that this is Alaska and the closest place to get really fresh tilapia is, like, Louisiana, that's not overly surprising, is it? Why the hell did you order tilapia in Alaska? Have you heard of salmon? Halibut? King crab?

An (excellent) old-school dive hamburger joint (in business since 1964) got slammed for not having a "vegan option". Yes, and?

And so on.
We hear a lot from people who have had a bad experience using PayPal.

Show HN: I made an app that uses AI to find your next movie or show
That doesn't seem to be the case in this story
Not going to defend it because I agree.

But if you are interested in the why of "currently watching" moving all over the place, you'll notice its harder to find the longer its been since you opened netflix combined with the faster you start looking for it.

Different part of Netflixes backend respond at different speeds. The call for "Top in the US" is likely cached and up to date, the call for "What did dataengineer56 stop watching" is probably cold and slow.

This leaves netflix with a few options, and what they seem to have settled on is "Show everything that has loaded, and quietly insert the stuff that loads later into parts of the screen the customer isn't looking at, so our entire app seems to load instantly"
Have you been taking it long-term? I see that it's only recommended for short-term usage.

I am not the person you responded to. I bought a house in Nagano last year. After living in Tokyo a long time The paperwork was not too difficult. Takes about 3 hours to walk through it all, in the presence of the seller, realtor and scrivener. Hand over the cash and take ownership.

The neighbours have been unexpectedly wonderful. Very kind. I live there most of the time and wish to contribute.
I actually think it's advantageous to be a (European) foreigner. They realise all the little nit-picks that Japanese do to each other in the service of community would be mostly lost on me. YMMV.
Ask HN: Is now the right time to ask for a raise?
As one of the only people left who knows how anything works, I feel like my leverage is very high right now to get paid better. Should I ask for a raise now or just be grateful I still have a job?
I thought this too. But you can feel incredibly powerless if all you do is “let the police handle it.” Even in this instance, nothing would have come of it had they not traced the guy. Prosecution of crime happens after a crime is committed. Cops can’t do much if you’re worried someone will harm you or a loved one. Even if stalking is illegal, cops won’t / can’t feasibly spend the resources investigating and punishing stalkers. Even prosecuting sexual assault (ie. after a serious crime has been committed) is extremely difficult.

What actually effective steps can you take if someone is harassing a female in your life? Speaking from personal experience, the lip service of “cops are there to protect you” is inadequate. It didn’t provide any safety, and I can’t see how, structurally, it even could.
This is super reminiscent to me of the arguments you see claiming Tamil is the oldest language. It's just not based on sound evidence or reasoning.
I was curious how the hot-reloading works on the browser side. It looks like it starts its own Firefox window, keeps a reference to it, and somehow directly sends an F5 keypress to it? I don't quite follow how that part works.
The original post you were responding to was talking about making an individual, private choice not to fund something they dislike. It was voting with their wallets. That is completely in the same voluntary spirit as you have, (it just happens to be a differing opinion from yours), which makes your overreaction all the more ironic.

Choosing to not patronize a business is not “taking the right away from people”, and to characterize it as such goes against the very ethos of consumerist-oriented postwar capitalist America.
Looking at all the PayPal hate in this thread, I have to ask - what do you guys use instead of PayPal? My main use case for PayPal is to avoid giving my credit card directly to merchants I don't fully trust.

I considered switching to using virtual credit cards instead. But being outside the US, the options (at least those I'm aware of) are quite limited and inconvenient.

It makes life easier at the expense of some indescribable sense of "quality" or connotations of "wealth", the feeling that the product makes a statement about the skill of the maker and the user, that there's real skill involved not just a technological cheat code in real life.

Which seems to be very culture specific, it's important to some but not others.

I don't have much doubt that people get lost less with phones now. It's reliable and available on demand at any moment. Basic utilitarian trips might even use less gas because if dynamic traffic data.

The main thing we lost is the sense that things are real and solid, rather than unearned power ups in a global scale video game, but by technical engineering measures, it seems like almost every single product outside of the arts has improved, year after year.

Old analog stuff is cool, but if I only had room in my bag for one, I'm probably going to take the latest new version, every time.
Why use a payment processor at all for crypto? The whole point of crypto is that you can do it yourself, without requiring permission from the rent-seeking banks. The fees are not that great for many of them. For Monero, which is the most commonly used privacy coin and probably most commonly used for illegal transactions nowadays, it's under 0.01% for most transactions.
I get paid very well for my field and where I am at in my career. Although this wasn’t always the case.

Where's the class politics among "tech liberation" proponents? It seems like a fairly anti-elitist idea, as far as these things go. And "tech" as a whole has only become more and more accessible over time to those who used to be broadly marginalized for economic or social reasons. Were computers in the socialist bloc really less inherently "classist" than in the West?

Same here, it pisses me off to see a lot of those spam sites being ranked that high on google. YouTube is a mixed bag too particularly when you trying to troubleshoot an issue or learn more about a particular feature of Product X. All you get are reviews of Product X returned from the search.
Being a doctor does require a lot of just plain information retrieval. Human bodies have a kajillion parts interacting in a kajillion-squared ways. And we usually don't get to look directly at most of the parts; we have to infer what's going on from very indirect evidence.

This isn't one of those "memorize nothing you can look up" situations. You just have to have it at your disposal before you can do actual medicine.

There may be a day when a computer can do most of the memorization scutwork and you can get back to the real work, but we're not there yet. It's not the test's fault that it's testing medicine as it's practiced today.

You can also use `git init --separate-git-dir=~/something /etc/nixos` to keep the git data in your user directory while the config remains in the default location. I like this solution because it keeps the stuff I want to do as root (configuring the system) separate from what I want to do as regular user (tracking changes of the configuration).
