I'm glad you haven't really 'lost' the photos since you have copies elsewhere. It is surprising how many people these days rely on some cloud service to store and preserve their only copy of some important and unreproducible data.

You are right about file systems doing a lousy job of helping you organize and locate photos, especially when they are spread across many different HDD and SDD drives attached to various computers. They are equally bad at organizing other forms of content (documents, videos, logs, music, software, etc.)

File systems were invented decades ago when the biggest hard drives could only hold a few thousand files at most, and drives were also so expensive that most people only had one of them. Traditional file systems are antiquated and need to be replaced with something better.
> You can basically freeze a product and keep it running forever for pennies

We’re moving to a security culture where a Cloud product not only has to be constantly rewritten to keep its features (not only upgrade libraries but also swap out the old Apache libs), but logs must be constantly inspected to address security risks, and GDPR issues have to be automatically lodged with CNIL. This “let’s keep this service only” has become as dangerous as leaving a Windows XP computer connected to the Internet.
> "it's not important if the default font is used".

That's also what they said. They said "You may as well just do 'serif' or 'sans-serif' and be done with it."

> Now I understand that you also say that default fonts are not necessarily well designed.

While fonts are a matter of taste, objectively speaking fonts that comes preinstalled on systems often have very few weights and support only a very limited range of glyphs. They also lack features such as small caps, old-style numbers, etc.

Usually, though, the main, default sans-serif and/or UI font on the system are much better than some random font that just happens to be included in the system. So you will usually be better off using `sans-serif` than any of these font stacks.

> I guess that happens when people assume that the web font will be loaded and don't default to (sans-)serif in their font-familly CSS property.

But this is just yet another reason why using font stacks is bad...? If instead you just use `serif` or `sans-serif` it will follow the user's font preference.
No journalist has a job where they spend all day copy/pasting AP/Reuters. This is a simplistic dismissal of the nature of working in a news organization. It would be akin to me saying that using code from a Stack Overflow response makes one 'not a real developer'.

Is there any thriving UK startups still around acquiring US companies? It seems that the news I see is US company acquires UK startup when I don't see the other way round.

I like the message of this website. The individual failures aren't the point. The failure is too much ambition and not enough appreciation. It seems like the OP was running from something and they are warning us from wasting our lives chasing mediocrity.

Ask HN: If starting from scratch, what web stack would you use?
I'm asking for the wisdom of the masses here, in either suggestions of what to use, or warnings of what to avoid.

Context: I'm a former (old-school) Drupal developer, full stack, but I've experimented with a lot of technologies over the last 15 years, so I'm happy to hear any suggestions. Furthermore, this advice is actually for a friend, but I thought that I would ask here since the audience is so knowledgeable and I have not actively developed a website in probably 5 years.

If you were to build a new website, what front end and back end stacks would you personally choose? The constraints that I worry about are:

1. Low initial cost versus scalability. Spreading a website across the cloud is cheap at first, but costs can add up quickly. Then again, building a single monolithic web app will break down at a certain point if it can't scale. Thoughts?

2. DevSecOps. Supply chain security is a big concern. NodeJS and Python both seem to have issues with this lately.

3. Stability. I'm always wary of chasing the latest fad, or the newest thing. Lately, several open source projects have decided to go to a paid structure only after getting people hooked on earlier free versions, and then they declare that they will not supply security updates to older versions, forcing either paying them for something that used to be free, or rewrite a significant portion of your software or infrastructure. Using the newest technology also carries a risk, in that it will change quickly, requiring massive updates and rewrites. I'm just looking for stability.

The website will be a community-based hub, so to speak, so dynamic and non-trivial with user access control requirements. Sorry for the lack of details, but I don't know a lot of them yet myself, and they would probably muddy the waters anyway.

Thank you for any insights that you can offer!
Right now we are focused on multifamily PMS's, but we will be adding other integrations like Roofstock down the road.
Unfortunate! I think you can try their social channels (LinkedIn) and see if there's any interest higher up. Sales folks are probably too narrowly market focused.
When I look at CoreDNS, it has something like 573 dependencies (as reported by "go mod graph" and deduped), notably because it imports cloud libraries for AWS, Azure and GCP. That kind of attack surface is something you do not want in a SSH daemon, or a DNS server for that matter.
I appreciate this. This is one of the only comments giving me some concrete advice instead of speculating why this happened.

"CTO at Loyalsnap (02/23/2017): The CEO rejected me then used the code I wrote in the interview in production.

Not a great argument. Drug response is based mostly in genetic history, partly in life experience (IE, if you live near a highly polluting plant and develop an allergy while growing up there). While many papers on drug response use race as a variable, that variable is highly confounded and is often not sufficient to make an accurate determination for medication prescription purposes.

Such research is not being banned or proposed to be banned- in fact, there's a lot more interest now in understanding the relationship between genetic history and response to disease, but the work is still fairly primitive.

Maybe they didn't stop, but they're converging towards zero. In the past hundred years, artists were coming up with a lot of things that had not existed for all of humanity. Nowadays, it's rare to find truly original style. The space has been explored thoroughly. It's also not just random search. It's no coincidence that most image generation prompts have an existing artist or style in them. If you leave it off, you just get crap.
It wasn't even AR. It was just a hud.
> Yesterday someone tried to deposit money in my account

You opened your post with what is almost certainly the reason for this, especially if this is a frequent occurrence.

Banks are increasingly wary of people other than the account holder depositing into KYC accounts. You probably aren't laundering money, and the bank's compliance department probably doesn't think you are either, but they're still not going to risk having to explain your activity at a KYC audit.

Is it right? No. But this is almost certainly the reason. Chase is one of the more trigger-happy banks at this, but they all do it. If you need to be mad at someone, be mad at the government, not the banks that are required to comply with anti-privacy and anti-freedom regulations.
This isn't a hindsight thing, this is a well-understood risk in finance. The lead time on rising interest rates was also significant enough for SVB to have shifted their investment strategy. Regulatory bodies in the US are both underfunded and hamstrung in their ability to regulate, and for a bank of SVBs size, they would not have been a prime target for regulators.
Zed Beta – And it's fast (and I don't care)
Saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/mdo/status/1636038225599889408

and many many others about Zed launch and how fast performance it has.

But the more I spend into the JS world, the more I am bored about hearing for new fast technologies.

Bun is 1 trillion times faster than NodeJS. Zed is a billion times faster than VScode and Webstorm.

Why should we care about perf benchmarks, if the new tools support only a tiny fraction of their alternatives' capabilities?

I am missing something here, should I be hyped?
I wonder if they will add this to the operating system as well?

Another aspect I just thought about was that in 90s and 00s there was a lot more diversity of games that were popular. Most people I knew played at least 2 or 3 different games with very different styles and I knew lots of people who never played DnD. Now everybody I talk to seems to play DnD only.

Just the fact that the tile is "D&D map makers..." instead of "RPG map makers..." is very telling.
> I think the opposite: creating art (e.g. Drawing) was only for the ones who had drawing skills. Now, it's being democratized and everyone

IMO saving money relative to a Tesla Model 3 at the expense of not purchasing the best drivetrain and battery technology available at time of purchase is never worth it. I'd easily increase my monthly payment by $100 to reach to the $35k range of a base Tesla Model 3.

Drive train, battery and software are the core tenants of what defines the value of an electric car - I think we're going to see the resale value of electric cars perform significantly worse than even a 20yr old Toyota Camry with 100k miles on it. The biggest risk with EV's especially from companies without a significant history of producing them is support completely timing out with vehicles less than 5yrs old. I dislike Louis Rossman but he's covered some GM Ev's that already are basically only supported by third party suppliers without any software support, it's not a rosy looking glimpse at the future [0].

I'm a person who would likely buy the US equivalent of the Honda e:Hev, a hybrid with a larger battery capable of 50+ mpg and I'm not necessarily a fan of Tesla - but if I'm going to drop five figures on a car it's going to be the best tech not something VW Group cooked up that's candidly years behind what Tesla is currently working with.

If you disagree with me, I suggest watching Sandy Munro's content on reverse engineering the quality of Tesla batteries, drivetrain and production methods. He doesn't cut elon slack and you should see how he tore apart the quality of the Mustang EV. [1]

I'm also curious, since you work in psychiatry....

Have you seen any cases of scromiting, or "Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome"?

These articles showed up in a big online hit in mid-2022, and never seemingly referenced again. My pessimism indicated that it was likely a hit piece against cannabis, but I'd rather ask for sure than just assume some conspiracy.
Agreed.

I rsync images out of Apple’s weird file structure that’s in the bundle. It’s horrible, but with ‘download originals’ enabled it works well. It’s particularly frustrating with large libraries as they occupy nearly all an SSD. For this reason I do it all on a VM that’s on a Synology.
I have the ID.4 and besides the software it is a fantastic car. We also have a Golf R and would love to have the same car but all electric. I would be all over the ID.2 if it reaches the US.

It's not not OK :) Just not what I'm looking for, I spend enough time professionally with writing glue code, that I'm looking for a good out-of-the-box experience for something like this.
IMO... why not? 250k photos at 10MB each is only ~2.5 TB. That easily fits on modern hard drives. You can even buy SSDs that would fit that for under $500. If you are a professional photographer, then you absolutely should keep everything you ever shoot, just in case one photo is ever worth it. Even if you're an amateur though, that's not really that much storage in the grand scheme of things.
Compared to the government, perhaps, but there are some very big companies behind the protests, and independent farmers don't necessarily agree.
> the warnings don't lead to reasonable decisions.

The warnings lead to informed decisions. They may not always be reasonable, but at least the person knows what they're getting themselves into.

My intention is not to outlaw "best effort" cloud storage or legally compel the providers to offer an SLA, but merely to make the limitations clear so that customers, including non-technical ones, can make an informed decision.
> So real journalists aren't going anywhere.

and there aren't very many of these kinds of journalists (let's call them "correspondents" to differentiate).

The journalists copy/pasting from Reuters, or the ones that paraphrase a press release, is going to go the way of automation, but i suspect that this amount of jobs is still quite large today, but will disappear relatively soon.
I agree with everything up to the last paragraph. Even there, I don't outright disagree, but would make some nuanced comments that have been covered a 1000 times in these types of discussions.

It’s worth noting the competitive space for Google Glass Enterprise is still busy - products like Vuzix and Realware are succeeding at the same use cases.

The article does not provide a specific release date for Microsoft 365 Copilot, but it mentions that the company is testing it with a small group of customers to get feedback and improve their models as they scale. It also states that Microsoft plans to bring Copilot to all its productivity apps in the months ahead. However, pricing and licensing details have not been announced yet.
I’ve always interpreted statements like “there’s no such thing as an original idea” or “everything’s a remix” not literally, but rather as a reminder that new ideas are born from a cultural context and the ideas in it, using those ideas like a language of creative expression.

I often take it a step further and use it as a reminder that new ideas are rarely born from one person but rather the contributions of many, each too small to be noticed as an “original idea”, but when viewed collectively, can be revolutionary.
Ma Su is also relevant because Zhuge Liang was repeatedly warned that Ma Su had more head knowledge than ability so should not receive a major command. Zhuge Liang's emotions and admiration cost him not only the campaign, but a dear friend.
Anori is a browser extension that replaces the usual new tab page and enables users to construct their own page using the widgets provided (bookmarks, to do, notes, recently closed pages, top sites, and more) and 8 built-in color schemes.

The story behind is simple: I was missing such an extension myself, so I decided to create it. I had intended to create just one bookmarks widget and call it a day, but I ended up creating eight more widgets and eight different color schemes.

In terms of technology, the extension is developed with React for UI, Framer Motion for animations and drag & drop, Jotai for state management, and Iconify to include a large number of icons.

They've really put the summarisation and Whisper capabilities to good use!

"Unlock productivity. We all want to focus on the 20% of our work that really matters, but 80% of our time is consumed with busywork that bogs us down. Copilot lightens the load. From summarizing long email threads to quickly drafting suggested replies, Copilot in Outlook helps you clear your inbox in minutes, not hours. And every meeting is a productive meeting with Copilot in Teams. It can summarize key discussion points — including who said what and where people are aligned and where they disagree — and suggest action items, all in real time during a meeting. And with Copilot in Power Platform, anyone can automate repetitive tasks, create chatbots and go from idea to working app in minutes."

I didn't say they should get the benefit of the doubt. It's pretty clear cut, there's little doubt to be had.

But we have no idea how they'll remedy the situation, because the situation has, in all likelyhood, not been pointed out to them at this point in time.

And it's highly unlikely that their "small army of lawyers and dedicated compliance officers" would knowingly allow this. Therefore I doubt the situation is the result of actively malicious behavior.
You could argue that the hammer from the previous example is a creative work.
