- That they use some shitty low frequency PWM to drive the light causing eye fatigue and headaches

- That they use low quality electronics causing your bulb to fail as fast as an iridescent one that costs 5 times less.

> Fedora has a release every 6 month which laughable honestly

Why? If you want a LTS go for Ubuntu, if you are more for a rolling distro experience go for Fedora. They have different approaches.

Also LTS for desktop serves me nothing. I prefer to use the latest kernel for a wider hardware support so I’d prefer Fedora. Also Fedora tents to adopt newer technology first which I’d also prefer.

It is up to your needs.
It can do some basic coding. The code syntax highlighting looks cool.

> Do a quick sort in python

> Here's an example of a quicksort implementation in Python:

def quicksort(array):
if len(array) <= 1:
return array
pivot = array[0]
less = [x for x in array[1:] if x <= pivot]
greater = [x for x in array[1:] if x > pivot]
return quicksort(less) + [pivot] + quicksort(greater)

In the last few months it really looks like someone payed for a web campaign against Canonical/Ubuntu. I've never seen so much articles how someone had to abandon Ubuntu for Fedora/Arch before.

And the most curious thing that the reasons provided are usually very outdated. Like many years old story about Amazon deal (even when it was valid you had to write a single command to remove integration). Or horror stories about snaps that are not valid for many months already. How firefox snap is shit (I'm writing it from snapped firefox and it works perfectly and faster that .deb and flatpak alternatives).

And let's just look on this article specifically. So, the guy ditched Ubuntu for Fedora because he felt that Canonical uses Ubuntu users as testers. And it's true, they do, just like RedHat uses Fedora to betatest for RHEL. So he switched to Fedora and had to fix one problem after another just because previously Canonical was fixing them and now he has to do it himself.

Complains that Ubuntu is a bit behind in Gnome features is true, but it happens specifically because Gnome devs don't care much about stability of a fresh release and tend to break UX because they just felt so, or because they were unable to reintroduce some feature in a shiny new library they just created and had to rewrite entire app with it but dropping features due to lack of time/effort.

Nautilus is notorious for throwing away features people love and use for years, and Canonical had to stick to older versions to not infuriate users. Fedora just provides what Gnome released and you have to deal with that.

Flatpak and Flathub are nice for him, but what stopped him using both in Ubuntu?

He 'feels' that Fedora is more stable, but have to deal with 3rd party software crashes, because devs tend to test everything for Ubuntu. Even the Software center crashes for him all the time (yeah, Gnome devs...)

And he's happy that he switched as he feels more solid.

Quote: "To get to this state I did have to put in some work and research, but not at a level of recompiling kernels.

If you are comfortable googling, using the terminal for some commands and interpreting an occasional error message I would now recommend Fedora over Ubuntu."

It really feels like someone has paid for an anti Canonical media campaign, because this shit is ridiculous.
Folia most likely breaks compatibility with plugins so forking is to be expected.

If you ignore server plugins, the only effort in actually trying to build a modding API is Quilt and it's Quilt Standard Libraries, which you probably guesses further splits the modding community into Forge, Fabric and now Quilt but that is on the Forge and Fabric guys for not even trying.
Shit, I wanted to come up with a model just to be the first to name it Vicuña. Oh well!

Can you link me to specific examples of accounts that you think should be banned and haven't been? or of accounts that have been banned, which shouldn't be? I'd like to take a look.

I'd also look at links to specific comments (i.e. dead and shouldn't be, or live and shouldn't be). But that's less relevant because we have to evaluate these things at account level, not post level. For example, banned accounts can post good comments (and we hope users will vouch for those - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cvouch, and we unkill them whenever we see them), but it doesn't follow that the account should be unbanned. That depends on the overall behavior of the account.
> I was accustomed to at least four rehearsals for a full orchestral concert. But looking at the Ravinia schedule, two was the maximum; one was more common. A single-rehearsal program is really just a read-through plus a concert. And in some cases, even the read-through was optional!

The thing to know about Ravinia is that it is BYOB. People drag giant coolers of whatever they want off the train - the train from the city has a stop at the front gates - and you are allowed to drink on the train. The Ravinia audience is not looking for technical excellence ;)

Yep. I've heard that sentiment more times than I can count over the decades -- and in every single case, without exception, those ventures failed pretty hard.

I think its because the sentiment expresses a fundamental misunderstanding of how business works and what makes it successful. The idea is not the most important ingredient in a business, the execution is.

For the most part, it doesn't matter if someone else takes your idea and beats you to it as long as your offering is better at solving the customer's problem. And that's a matter of execution.

> There are a lot of microbes that are unculturable to this day

Some of this has been solved by literally allowing the microbes to sit in culture for a year or so in order to either wake up from hibernation, or adapt to the culture composition.

> see if the universal metabolic molecules like, for example, the hydrogen carriers NAD+/NADP+/NADPH, are truly universal.

For anything that's based on DNA or RNA we now do direct sequencing of environmental samples. From this direct sequencing we can pull out individual genes and pathways.

> I think over the span of billions of years, evolution tends to converge too much for the trees to remain very distinct from each other.

We've got over 20 recognized genetic codes already from existing life. These are highly similar, but this probably points to similar origins instead of convergence.
TL;DR (i didn't do a deep dive, just a skim) they've laid out a chip into a grid of small areas and you can submit a design for one of the areas. Then they make a chip that has everybody's designs on them, so when you get your chip it has your design, and everybody else's that you can play with. The areas each have room for about 400 gates in which people have built stuff like a 4 bit CPU. An area in one corner is the "master scheduler", it multiplexes and delivers 8 bit input sequentially to each area, and gathers 8 bit outputs from each area, at the rate of about 15khz.

using all their tools and documentation to create your design is free, at a certain point when it gets to committing they have a pricing scheme which is intended to be affordable.

(note: they've been doing versions of this, the last one was tape out 2, now is tape out 3, and I was not careful about checking which version specs I was skimming so perhaps the new one is more capacious or the last one less.)

from https://hackaday.com/2023/02/14/supercon-2022-matt-venns-tin...

personally, I think it would be just a bit cooler to have a dual channel 40kHz system that could do DSP on high quality audio, but you can do plenty with this
Nope, those are all run by the cell carriers. If you change carriers, your SMS email gateway address changes too.

(There are some services that try to be carrier-independent but they eventually have to interface with the carriers somehow. There is no way to send an SMS that doesn't eventually end up in the (proprietary) cell network.)
Prior to covid I was paying for a business coach/group (not yc, just paid with cash no equity). We had monthly group meetings and I had a one on one with my coach every month.

The value I got out of the group took a huge nosedive when we went remote. I felt like many of my fellow attendees weren’t fully present in our group meetings, and the one on ones weren’t the same. So I left.

Just putting stuff on Zoom doesn’t make it the same. I think a lot of orgs are struggling to make things work in the new medium.

Why not reduce hours for others and improve their quality of life since these workers did so much for the company that the company has so much cash.

That’s how all advice works.

Isn’t fentanyl so dangerous that even a regular dose could kill? Idk, I’m not into fentanyl

Edit: A cursory refreshing on the subject indicates that fentanyl is extremely potent, and that therefore it is difficult to dose correctly. I maintain that “overdose” is misleading in the context of fentanyl because it connotes user error. When in fact I think the blame lies on the suppliers, who may have sold fentanyl to users without the users being fully aware of what dangerous things they were really buying.

Yes OK, excluding those under a year old. So guns are the leading cause of death in America for those between 1 and 18 years old.

Ask HN: Unattended Updates on CentOS/EL 7/8 ?
Anyone using the builtin Red Hat unattended updates (via yum-cron I believe) at scale at their workplace on CentOS 7 and or Rocky/Alma 8 ?

My main question is, is it stable with small percentage of surprises/caveats/gotchas?

And secondary question is— what is your strategy for related reboots? Do you script some sort of corollary logic to do reboots perhaps in certain dates/windows, etc? Or do you handle the reboot logic via Spacewalk or some other tool? If the unattended updates kind of mostly just work, think the reboot logic strategy/process/workflow will be the main pain point for scaling it out over a large number of servers that will need various different reboot windows, and within that window (say a 6 hr window), I’d like to have a random reboot within that window etc…. Obviously there is commercial software for this, but I’d like to keep it open source if at all possible..

Thanks for any feedback!
> it is only bi-modal if there’s a single large dip in the middle of the histogram.

I don’t think this is correct, bi-modal just means there are two modes. But we don’t have to argue over a definition, I’ll just use more words. What I mean is very simple - if you go to college and get a better job due to your degree, you are undoubtably better off. If you go to college and do not obtain a better job with your degree, you are not better off (and are now worse off due to crushing debt). So there are broadly two types of people with degrees, and pay is radically different for the two groups.

When discussing these two groups of people, median is not a very useful concept - you are one group or the other, you are not going to fall in the middle. Sure, college might be a statistically beneficial choice, but it is a risky choice - if you lose, you lose big.

In case we are still not on the same page, I’ll give a very simple example - a person goes to college for an IT degree. The person is unable to land a job in IT despite their degree, and remains in unskilled labor. How is this person better off for their degree? And how are they supposed to come up with hundreds in monthly payments for the next few decades with their low paying job?

Or are you really contesting the notion that a person may not obtain a job/career with their degree?
TLDR; No, you can't (for now).

This was a little bit of an uncomfortable read as I really didn't want to see this defeated, but I'm glad people are checking that it works as intended.

Ask HN: U.S. Health insurance during lean, solo, self-funded startup?
Hi YC. I am preparing to leave my cozy big tech job making good money with fantastic benefits to start my own business in my line of work (security consulting). I'm very comfortable with the work itself, the process of attracting clients, the scoping and CYA/legal paperwork and liability insurance, preparing and delivering the reports, forming the legal entity and paying applicable fees to the state government using their website, generally all aspects of the business.

This will be a self-funded business with an extremely long runway (in a good and contractually stable living situation with my childhood/teenage/adult best friend, paying virtually nothing in rent (percentage of net income up to a limit)) - this is a stable situation with extremely synchronized understanding of responsibilities of each party. To be clear, I am living on less than $500/mo, and my investments provide more than this, with rock-solid monthly cash distributions around $1100/mo.

My question is about insurance. Given my operating income of ~$600/mo after expenses (very little taxation at this income level), I am concerned about the cost of health coverage and am wondering if any other founders / small business owners have dealt with similar situations.

I have found healthcare.gov plans with ~$250-$300/mo premiums. I'm young and healthy and have a great doctor who refills my single generic prescription visiting her just once a year. Even w/o insurance, my annual costs are less than the monthly premiums of what healthcare.gov offers. I really just want catastrophic coverage where I pay ideally $XX/mo, have an $XX,XXX annual out of pocket max & deductible, but that doesn't appear to be an option in my state's healthcare.gov program.

Has anyone found a solution for this? Are there umbrella insurance policies that cover some crazy rare medical issues with six digit bills? Am I going to be eligible for Medicaid with considerable assets but extremely little income (until I start having revenue rolling in) in an HCOL area? I know some tax credits are available for the $250-$300/mo healthcare.gov plans for low income folks, but that'll come as a tax credit once a year and thus I'll still be cutting my operating income in half, if I'm even eligible for it (again, six figures worth of assets).

What have fellow HN'ers in similar situations done, and what would HN'ers in such a situation do, barring "stay at the comfy big tech job"?
