What an absurd take. The author asked it something extremely theoretical, with no actual objective correct answers, it gave reasonable answers, but the author disagrees, so it's no good?

What?
I don't know if we got a discount for an annual contract, or if the annual contract pricing was published on the website. But we were able to work out things like, using seasonal pricing because our traffic is seasonal.
>The problem with that is how do you trust the source if you need “cryptographically secret” random numbers.

Well in the modern age this is solved by upvotes and reputation score.

>it could exist but as a play-thing not a serious service.

I wasn't being particularly serious, well I'm seriously surprised someone hasn't tried it, but I'm not investing my own hard money in the idea so...
I agree with you on that one also (and I see that Confluent has retracted their definition of it as OSS - it's now "source available").

I was just saying that I can understand why they use that licence from a "just IPOed and the MBAs are hungry" POV - it ensures that they're the only managed Kafka vendor that can also provide a managed Kafka Connect / Schema Registry / KSQLdb, it's a significant point of difference in the market, because aside from that, what differentiates Confluent from AWS MSK, or Aiven, or Instaclustr, or RH's managed Kafka etc. etc. etc.
Your argument proves my point. If it's true that women are "acting in accord with a new environment", and in the new environment, there is less need to have sex with them, or new standards dictate higher requirements for sex, then by definition their worth has been devalued... therefore, less worth having sex with.

It's also possible that men have changed, and are increasingly becoming hikikomori due to increased adoption of introverted online social pursuits, or increased pornography or toxic male cultures, or whatever reason you choose.

But regardless of whether they have changed or haven't, they are simply less valuable today, and they need to adapt if they want to have sex more. Hence the onus is on them to improve themselves. It's not victim-blaming, it's fact-stating.

The alternative would be to revert the culture. Jordan Petersen's fans would love it if women would just shut up and go back to the kitchen and do what they're told, I don't think women really like that idea.
ClamAV, worth running, it doesn't use many resources. Linux is popular enough now that it is an attractive target, especially with all the cloud vms running out there

If you run it behind a NAT, you'll need to run an internal virus database server. They rate limit downloads per IP. So fetch theirs once per day, serve as much as you want internally.
I haven't seen it happen well, but I'd like to think retention policies, especially somewhat tight ones, could encourage folks to move durable information elsewhere. If you know this explanation is going to be removed in a month or a few months, you know to polish it up somewhere else.

Most stuff in slack should be ephemeral enough to not need that process, but I know that in reality that process never actually happens because the one that needs to move it doesn't have any incentive to do so, and it being deleted doesn't really harm them either.
I quit Amazon Prime. You might still get two day or faster shipping but Amazon promises five day delivery to my home that is maybe a 4 hour drive from their warehouse.

In he last few years shipping has gotten better from other retailers, I get packages from Japan faster that I get them from AMZN.

I just can’t get paying for a ‘premium’ service which is worse than average.
There are two such projects (both are not active anymore) that I was hoping at the time to get some feedback, good or bad

1. Centask - flexible task manager fully integrated with gmail (I am still using it)

Best video explainer I could came up with - https://youtu.be/RBBPbIkgWUU

2. Postwaves - social media with distributed moderation, I lately realize the algorithm is very similar to tiktok, except that for tiktok video's you vote by how long you watch a video and not by actual vote (much harder to get)

Slightly unrelated, but I had no idea that Techmoan had a second channel. I wonder if he'll use it more in the future.
Oh, the blog post there is lovely. Just used the lyrics to sing through "Sing Joy Spring" while listening to the original Clifford Brown recording.

At the end of the day a chatbot is a chatbot: it's producing plausible-sounding output from the input. GPT is just better at it than other chatbots. It still doesn't _know_ anything, or _have opinions_. It is like a person who's BSing: quick, talk about a subject, and sound like you know what it is! It's a farce to consider it as something other than that, which is also why I don't personally care about all the news about it (and agree with the OP: the hype is silly and tedious).

When ML models are trained on whether they give correct answers, rather than correct-sounding answers, I'll be interested in the bot they produce.
"breathe more"

I don't think anyone pushes for that, but "breath more mindful".

And that breathing exercies work, can be quite good shown for example with people doing extensive ice bathing for example. If you won't breath right there, you will get sick.

edit: But your point seems to be more stress related - well, I don't know what all those apps claim, but breathing is a very important body regulation and on of the easiest to influence. Meaning if you pay attention to your breathing and notice they are short and shallow - just starting to breath deep and conscious can put your body into a different state.
In practice you end up using a bouncer, or the org uses a bot to preserve history
The Humbling of Goldman Sachs
Who said anything about politics or legislation?
It’s honestly perplexing that so many tech companies have stayed private for such a long period of time. Especially in an era of rising interest rates and rising mortgage costs, people really want to be able to sell their stock. The difference between packages with equity you can sell and equity you can’t sell is gargantuan and there are massive benefits to having a public price that lets people fairly value that equity. Hoping to get fair value in a private market transaction is far from ideal and many employees will feel they are being forced to pay an unfair premium for liquidity.
In the sense of being the widely accepted authority on the matter.
Generally to get the most utility from ChatGPT, you need to feed in a bunch of context. E.g. for legal stuff, feed in each relevant case, the facts of your own case, perhaps an example pleading or two to show the general format you want and then ask it to produce what you're looking for.

Try "*****", style 3 or 9. I got it to write backwards at one point.
I tend to disagree. Our society is seriously not that bad, the fact we can talk freely about how bad it is show that is better than many other societies. While I didn't experience it first hand, a common thing I see when people visit really shitty places is how happy people are, from North Korean farmers to women of Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, Scandinavian countries are often a model when it comes to a "good" society, topping all the "happiness" charts, and yet, they are in the worst quartile when it comes to suicide rate.

So, I won't blame society for depression, it looks like mentally healthy people are pretty resilient, and if put in extreme situations (ex: torture) to beyond breaking point, the result is usually more anxiety than depression. I know a few people with depression, treated and followed by psychiatrists. And while the trigger can be some hardship, which can be related to society, or can be a simple breakup, it is just that, a trigger, most people would have just moved on.

And one trait I notice the most is apathy, not sadness. And it is really unsettling. At least, when people are sad, they react to your sollicitations, they may cry, get angry, complain, attempts to get them out will be warmly welcome or they will oppose resistance. For the depressive people I know, there is no reaction, it is not catatonia, their intelligence is unaffected, but it looks like they can't have emotions of their own. They may get good support from friends, family, and even society, but it all seem to go down in a black hole, I really think it helps, but it doesn't show. Drugs seem to be the most effective treatment, unfortunately, because these things induce tolerance and are addictive.

Depression is a disease, and we don't know the cause. We know heredity is important, being healthy and well supported is certainly better than sick and alone, but we are not sure about the details, and therefore what society can do. Quoting scientists favorite phrase: "more research is needed".

As for what society can do to promote healthy habits, this is really a complex thing. You may not realize but that's what Hitler tried to do (for their own people), in fact Hitler could have seriously tackled depression, though eugenics, healthy labor and campaigning against unhealthy habits like smoking. And yet, it would be an absolutely terrible society to live in.

So, I don't think a better, more equal society, as good as it is, is the ultimate solution to depression. Still nice to have though.
I'm not sure this is a good article, but I did have a similar sobering experience with ChatGPT. I asked it about a character I've been playing in a fighting game[1] and not only was its answer generally wrong - it seemed to have confused the character with some other character from another game. None of the move names describe things Baiken can do in Strive. I tried with Giovanna (another Strive character, but one who appears in no other games) and the answer was similarly extremely wrong. Pretty interesting!

Isn't Elixir a little bit like Ruby though? At least superficially. And it supports metaprogramming like Ruby.

So I'd guess the code would end up looking similar on a lot of teams
I wasn't ordering enough on Amazon so I quit. If I need something in 2 days I can always re-join for a month. I don't miss it though.

Amazon Prime was ultimately costing me money, not saving it.
Chime has been replaced internally at Amazon with Slack as of a couple of years ago for everything but video/audio calls, at least on the AWS side.
This is great. Love the idea.

Finding the recipe in a blog post has become a meme at this point, so this tool is invaluable.

I tried it with my favourite sourdough recipe and it didn't handle HTML encoded apostrophes. They display as &#39;s

I imagine other HTML encoded entities might also be handled this way.
I mean, pose that question to some random dev with little exposure to second life and you'd probably get an even more anemic/generic response.

It's weird to me that people seem to expect current AI to be as good as an expert, especially at something as subtle as the intersection of society and technology. The hype around chatGPT is not that it's an expert in all things, it's that it's a novice in all things, and better than that at some.
if memory serves camelcamelcamel gets their pricing data directly from amazon via a source they aren't allowed to disclose, and bloomberg has previously reported that amazon gives camel^3 the data they have; given that, i'm not too certain they're the cause of amazon's consistent reduction in transparency to consumers - a lot of it feels like cruft built into their marketplace allowing for bad actors to effectively play the marketplace
cancelled Amazon Prime after they tried blaming me for their delivery "service" ruining a shipment of high value books by leaving them behind a wheelie bin in the rain

"delivered to reception" apparently
I treat Slack DMs like email and respond when I have time dedicated to it. Very rarely found a situation where that was not acceptable. Adding do-not-disturb times and calendar integration helps a lot too--people can tell when you are not working, in a meeting, or in a focus mode.

The big problem with Slack is when a multi-party discussion starts about a topic and you need to make immediate input or be left out. I haven't found a fix for this, but it's really the same problem as coworkers talking in the break room, so I'm not sure if the blame can be laid at Slack-type tools.
I had prime since the start but with the last price increase it didn't seem like it was worth renewing so I dropped Amazon Prime and moved to Walmart+. Walmart+'s delivery is not as reliable and the prices are a bit higher. I'm unlikely to renew it.

I'm still ordering from Amazon but I'm waiting until my cart is over $25.00 so I can take advantage of the free shipping. It's not as convenient but I can live with it. I probably won't ever return to prime.

I also cancel my Netflix account after 10yrs. I wasn't using it much. Netflix has lots of content but the quality was not there for me. I've switched to HBO. I'm using it and I like the content so I'm staying for a bit.
I can often find much better prices than Amazon elsewhere. I don't care that it takes a few extra days sometimes.
Even the startup conversations on here are completely detached from reality to be honest. There's a lack of understanding among commentators about how VC works, Category Creation, Pricing Strategy, GTM, Sales, etc. Most YC startup founders have their own private board at this point that they discuss stuff on now.

HN has devolved into burned out Gen X or elder Millenial FAANG engineers bitching about their gilded cage existence.
Pick easier classes I guess? Less Calc III and more photography and ceramics. Something the target sex is over-represented in.
People find their tribes. A few years ago at work we were invaded by an intern army of what we affectionately called “dudebros”. They all had prince Harry style beards and talked about IPAs. By all accounts, the female interns were very polarized by the look.
Depression is often, not always, a symptom of another disorder. This is especially true if your depression symptoms are acute or cyclical. Conditions like Bipolar Disorder or ADHD are often mis-diagnosed as depression or anxiety. Beyond that, Depression could be caused by any of a myriad of internal or external variables.

It is no wonder that it is notoriously difficult to study Depression when it might just be a symptom of a dozen distinct conditions.

My anecdote is that I thought I experienced bouts of depression for no deeper reason right through my 20s. Turns out I have ADHD and my depression is just caused by my brain getting exhausted from masking/functioning.
More vendor lock-in shenanigans.

Data dog has always been a proprietary POS. I don’t know why people use it, APM traces? How long before Grafana has these capabilities in OSS?

So annoying seeing a company like DD who cannot innovate at all, trying to lock in the average company.
If there's already very little margin left in interchange for fintechs, what's to stop further compression in pursuit of customer acquisition for higher margin products? End state... is interchange going to zero?
Ask HN: Can I change my state of incorporation using Stripe Atlas?
I recently learned about the benefits of incorporating in Delaware, I've been incorporated for a couple years in California with no profit or employees. I'm wondering whether I can create an account with Stripe Atlas and make this transition as I'd also like to use Stripe Atlas' services. I'm open to other products too. Also I currently use incfile for my inc. Thanks in advance.
> for confidence games, an IPO is much better.

Better for whom? And how?

It's not clear to me that it makes a difference for employees either way. It's not like the stock price on Day 90-180 are still thinking about what mechanism the company used to go public 3-6 months ago. At that point the stock price is mostly based on the two new 10-Qs that have been filed since then, plus additional current information like market conditions, etc.
It's 95% accurate. The remaining 5% is to hide the identity of Person A.

I would consider contributing to a third episode with a new generation of stories/correbance/trivia, but with the amount of contribution from the feds to correct the record, I feel it would be unwise.
> Again, the reason for TypeScript's success is a separate topic, but node is the go-to backed if you intend to build with typescript. All things being equal in the interpreted scripting language world, typescript's type system sets it far ahead of php/python/ruby.

Absolutely. The sad thing for PHP is that they had the opportunity to pioneer static typing in web development that TypeScript has made so popular, and finally break from all the quirkyness and crappyness of the language in the early 2010's when Facebook released Hack and XHP (https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/). At the time I worked as a PHP dev and desperately wanted to use XHP (there was a regular PHP extension for it) but couldn't get employer buy-in as they didn't see the point in it.

XHP was basically what React/JSX is now to JavaScript, except for PHP. And Hack is what Typescript is to JavaScript, except for PHP, a sensible, and partial superset of PHP with static type checking. But for years, Hack and XHP languished to get any PHP-dev attention. Why? Ten years ago I couldn't figure it out at the time, but now in hindsight, I believe it's because no one in regular PHP-land at the time recognised the genuine engineering improvements Facebook had just ushered in, because most PHP devs don't approach their work with an engineering mind-set. Could be wrong but that was my experience - a lot of PHP code is just crappy, even in a post-PHP 7+ world, and the only explanation seems to be crappy devs.

> but at the time when node was picking up steam, the php composer experience was terrible, whereas npm set the standard for stupid easy package management

Yes, this is an understatement. Running composer on a Laravel project once, it regularly hit 1.5GB memory usage. This was in the mid-2010's, at a time when Macbooks had like 4GB of RAM. Though granted, npm had the same problem, but with disk space, not RAM.
With regards to the story, I think you should lean heavily on how bad recipe blog posts are. They try to tell you their whole life story before getting to the actual recipe. Your tool removes all the rubbish and cruft.
> But the rules don't say anything about how long those samples are: even the tiniest sliver would have to be accounted for: you would need permission.

That’s just silly. If no one can hear the difference then who cares? Why would it even matter what song I was getting tiny snippets from? It’s like asking a specific poet for permission to use a certain word.

> Ok, so I have this little piece of software here, it allows me to extract the notes, durations and volumes of individual notes of a piano piece and then I can re-play those notes using any instrument from an enormous bank of synthesized sounds. Do you feel that this should count as original work because 'it has never existed before' or do you feel that this is a mechanical transformation and that the original creator should be able to sue me for creating a derived work? Does the mechanism of the derivation count?

Does it sound like the same
song or not? You know, would someone listen to it and be able to recognize the melody? That’s what matters!
I was answering to the person saying to open a PR (on Rails I presume).

That comment isn't in the Rails dockerfile, it was added by the OP.

I used something similar a year ago to write out a ton of Xmas cards using my 3D printer. It was really cool, but probably would have been faster by hand.
I come and go on Spotify. I really like the service but I mostly listen to podcasts (not on their app). But if I go on a road trip or for some reason the mood takes me and I want to listen to a lot of music, then I'll re-up it and they have had deals for people re-joining in the past so that was a bonus.

I used the free Dropbox account for a long time and never needed much storage, but cancelled it when they limited it to 3 devices. I understand it costs money, but I just used it for a small shared storage space, and while I would have been happy to pay them $10-20/year or something like that, they didn't really have a small plan that appealed. I moved to pCloud, but it started getting pushy with the ads and stuff, so now I'm on a self-hosted Nextcloud which I like a lot and has lots more storage than I would have got before. It's running on Oracle's free tier cloud which is pretty impressive (and I'm far from an Oracle fan), so technically it's still free I suppose.

I'm glad to say I cancelled Lastpass for a few reasons, but mostly it was the principle of the thing when they tripled the price over 2 years or so and didn't add any functionality that I could tell. I made a point to delete my data from them several years ago, so I hope it was actually purged in time for me to avoid their recent shenanigans. I moved to Bitwarden at the suggestion from some colleagues and so far, so good on that.

I'll be canceling a decade old Prime membership when it expires in July for the obvious reasons - the cost has increased but the shipping has slowed down quite a bit to where 2 days doesn't seem to mean anything anymore. I also don't use the additional services that they've added (and I'm not looking to tie myself into Amazon if at all possible), so they don't bring me any value. But the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak was when they unwittingly signed me up for a paid subscription music service when I completed a recent order. I assume I left some box checked or something, but I'm not clear how it happened and I don't care - this is one dark pattern too many and makes me fear what they might try next.
> Between the power cuts due to the planned lack of maintenance of their nuclear reactions, and the loss of various contracts and shipyards, I'd have though they'd have learned the lesson

I suggest you to read more diverse news sources.
Bethesda is the company that invented microtransactions (horse armor in TES IV Oblivion) and coined the term "DLC" if I'm not mistaken, so I'm not sure if that was that different from what they were doing before.
