Why doesn’t Reddit allow users of the API to log in via OAuth and then pay for Reddit gold to get access? Then the apps can keep letting users call the API directly without a proxy server, and they still get paid.

(Yes, I’d like the API to remain free. But if it doesn’t that seems like the next best option rather than losing any and all open source clients.)
Is it possible to embed the code then query to “get around” the token limit?
More virtue signaling in the fight against climate change.

This will have zero impact on climate change and will only mean people can't feed themselves when the power goes out.
I'm not by any measure a CSS expert, but whatever became of the idea of semantic HTML (or even XML files styled with CSS https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/intro.html#xml-tutorial)? I've been noticing that there is little difference between the sizes of HTML payloads and JSON payloads when extraneous tag hierarchies are eliminated. I've half a mind to replace some of my React SPAs with old fashioned server side templating (not SSR). Event without using techniques like HTMX to replace partials, things seem to run faster and backend development becomes so much easier.
Lithium traditionally has seen refinment of concentrates take place some distance from the primary hole in the ground; Western Australia is soon opening refinement facilities "not far" (couple of hundred km) from the primary mine (Greenbushes).

Generally digging hole -> concentrate (in this case (Lithium) the concentrate is Spodumene) is a largely mechanical process - crushing, grinding, screening, centrifuge, seperation, etc and what's left behind is overburden and not of interest tailings - this is "regular mining problems" and these are not huge in todays regulated environment, post mining rehab is required and ideally pre mine eco systems come back.

Refinement of concentrates, particulalry of Rare Earths is generally where nasty chemicals come into play which requires tight processing and strong oversight to keep "clean" .. acids at end of re-re-re-use need to be nuetralised and processing areas need strong under-pan barriers to prevent spills leaching down to groundwater, tailings dams need to be strong, monitored, and regularly dealt with.

These are all things which are "all right" in theory and good practice .. but do require strong oversight and an educated third party invested public keep a close eye on transparent operations.

Bad things can happen otherwise.

The 8080 has nothing resembling microcode, and neither do the 8085 nor Z80. They're all based on an instruction decode PLA with a simple sequencer/state machine logic. Perhaps you're thinking of the 8086?
Reddit is fairly unique among large internet properties in that even as their "default" design has gotten shittier and shittier (in my opinion), it was possible to go back to older iterations via old.reddit.com or i.reddit.com. I wonder how much of a release valve for dissatisfaction these alternate UIs and third party apps represent. With 3rd party apps possibly going away now and i.reddit.com apparently dead (is old.reddit.com next?), I wonder how many angry redditors will come out of the woodwork.

Then again, I'm sure reddit has analytics on this and has decided it's worth the backlash.
The "no NSFW content over the API no matter what" thing is pretty fucking bullshit.
Yep, bad cut and paste.
It's kind of amazing how many university programs teach C(++) just wrong.

The problem is that Reddit's incentives are directly opposed to their users.

Advertisers demand a lot of ads, a continuous drive for "engagement", and bland cookie-cutter content. Users want to hang around in their own weird little subreddits - without being bothered with ads or "useful" recommendations.

It is impossible to combine the two, so the official Reddit app can never satisfy the user base.
I rounded the first fine and then pasted here the second fine.
> Not really. For US in 2018 it was ~700 miles (https://www.bts.dot.gov/newsroom/2018-traffic-data-us-airlin...), and for EU in 2020 it was ~1000 kilometers (https://www.eurocontrol.int/sites/default/files/2021-04/euro...).

700 miles is around 1127 kilometers... which I'm sure you knew and were just highlighting that US flights ain't that much longer than EU flights on average, but it's worth noting for clarity that they are indeed longer.

I guarantee you Reddit makes most of it's money from astroturfing. It's why they'll never go public, they don't want to open their books.

You can't look at r/Politics, WPT, etc and tell me those posters are human.

Personally i like it. One of the most dangerous things in government is making a cult of personality around the head of state. Having it be a powerless figurehead takes the bite out of that.

Indeed - when we had a big storm forecast where I live a few months ago I picked one of the ones up for my tool brand as an additional backup for phones and the like if we lost power (and the house battery). Having a few 2/4 Ah packs around that will run USB ports is comforting.
That "some other guy" was the undefeated world champion for 15 years, the world #1 player for 21 years, and more. He was much more dominant than even Magnus. Yet it was a similar story for him where his match dominance ended well before his tournament dominance did. Even after losing the world championship title, he would remain world #1 for about 6 more years.

Maintaining dominance against a peer (and their team) who spend the better part of a year doing nothing but preparing for you, is very different than maintaining it in the relatively far more casual environment of tournaments. And there's a big ego trap here. Quitting is easy, especially when you're on top. Continuing to fight until the day you fall is hard, and requires immense character.
> When they come out of the course, very few of them can turn unclear problem descriptions into code until they are given "fill in the blanks" type of instructions. And no one teaches you to read documentation also. That is another biggest flaw.

The fact that some CS grads end up taking bootcamps after graduation says a lot.
The headline for this article is a travesty - there is no “basic thing” mentioned in the article. It’s almost like the headline was a banal or joke placeholder that was accidentally not updated.

This is a very interesting article written by a doctor who experienced severe medical emergency mismanagement following a failed colonoscopy. He nearly died, and his career was destroyed.

At the end, there are a number of constructive suggestions about what to do in a situation like this, if you feel your case isn’t being handled correctly.
I don't think it was ever thought at all. It was a device to find out who was with them, and to denounce the "anti-science bigots" who were against them.
From what I can see, his project so far consists of ideas with a vast scope that may or may not pan out and a strong belief in himself.

>GAGOOT is a domain-less, server-to-server meshnet which offers a reimagined, members-only, ad-free, tracker-free, fingerprint-free, captcha-free, cookie-free, bloat-free, DDoS-proof, no-censorship approach to implementing a number of disparate functions, including search, social media, archiving, messaging, cloud computing, and distributed computing, each designed to provide anonymity, privacy, and freedom as first-class concerns rather than as mere afterthoughts.

To me, this sounds suspiciously like someone with enough knowledge about how things work on the Internet to be confident that they can do better, but hasn't learned enough to understand how little he knows... it's the Dunning-Kruger effect in the wild.

The problem (or feature) of knowledge is that there's always more knowledge and nuance behind what you think you know, and the details are what makes things work. All the services and functions he describes as parts of his system above were developed over decades by thousands of the brightest people in the world. Replacing all that with one good idea only one person has worked on is possible, but incredibly unlikely.

Most importantly, all those things were developed by people who not only had good ideas but who did all the hard work to make them real. Ideas aren't worth money, results are.

OP needs to stop counting on their project idea as a gateway to self sufficiency and realize that (sadly) they have to go back to work in the boring real world, even though working for an hour on their project would eventually produce more value than working a week at a day job.

That sucks hard, but the truth is that without a track record or a working prototype to show off no one is going to pay OP for their project, period. That's just how the world works.

I'm saying all this as another 50+ year old IT person who understands that it's getting harder to find new jobs and who is burned out on working as a cog in the machine.
That's true. The aral sea was even infamous here in Europe. Of course it's now completely gone leaving silted wasteland in its place :'(
> In February of 1993, the University of Minnesota made an announcement. In specific commercial usage of the protocol, they would be charging licensing fees. Not large fees, and not in all cases. But, in some small way, they would be restricting access.

I remember gopher and thinking it was pretty useful and easy to use.

This decision by them seems to have been a monumental mistake.

I'm curious if anyone here knows who at Minnesota made this decision and why.

That, to me, is another interesting aspect to this story, but it is understandable people are more reluctant to talk about a failure than a success.
If there had been one crash in the EU or US, it would have been grounded immediately. Especially on land. Lion Air were a convenient scapegoat given their past history, Boeing PR hardly needed to do anything. When the first crash happened many people even here on HN were convinced it was the fault of Lion Air, even after the MCAS system had been exposed.

Ultimately I think EASA deserves a little bit more blame. You can somewhat understand the FAA having a bias towards their own national aircraft maker, but what the hell was EASA doing? They were supposed to be the check against that kind of nationalist bias, but they were just as deferential as the FAA.

> I don't think they quite understand the ground they're losing to Discord.

And this is frustrating to me as a user, because Discord is much more of a pain to try to search and navigate.
To be fair, he does notice that Roman historians are saying things about antiquity which are different than what this specialist in 18th/19th century said in 1986 (footnote 11). There is a famous passage by one of the ancient Greek poets that cobbler competes with cobbler and singer with singer and this leads to excellence.

Many medivalists suspect that monasteries and abbeys drove scientific agriculture in medieval Europe because they had capital, literacy, and education. Some berries seem to have been first domesticated in monastery gardens with nets to keep the birds out. Medieval people may not have had good theories of how to breed animals for traits but they could make it work with enough time and effort.
Okay! Thanks for this. Yeah it's on a bog standard Ubuntu 20.04 install; I didn't realise this might be fixable by installing additional software.
Haven't been using it as much but the builtin Pocket integration is also really convenient & slick for reading articles.

The Kobo also has a fantastic aftermarket world of open source software. https://github.com/topics/kobo?o=desc&s=updated

For a while folks were starting to get their own regular distros running on Kobos too but I'm not seeing much follow-through.

The reMarkable probably has an edge in overall open source tooling. They definitely have a much better page showing off what's available, https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-remarkable.

But Kobo is quite impressive & flexible. Great out of box & hackable ecosystem. Prices are reasonable, the base software is pretty great, and as you say, software updates just keep coming. I was running an ancient but lovely Kobo Aura HD until a year or so back, a fairly ancient device, & was still getting updates, getting faster/snappier & ever improving navigation/UI. My newer cheaper device has been great. Kobo has been such an excellent company to their users; it's been, ah, "remarkable" to see.
The legal system "presumes" things.

Based on your comment, the legal presumptions of innocence is "absurd".
I've used serverless for the past 3 years in production. Unfortunately my experience with it is that it's several orders of magnitude more expensive than a k3s cluster on a cheap provider like Hetzner, and it's slower.

When I last calculated the cost of serverless, it was ~500-5,000x more expensive for the compute compared to k3s and ~10x more expensive for bandwidth at a minimum. To me, removing the burden of maintaining infra didn't justify that level of cost.

Some examples:

- Upstash latency was ~70ms for Redis. Cost was prohibitive.

- AWS Lambda / Cloudflare Worker / Firebase Function cost becomes prohibitive. At least cold starts aren't as bad as they used to be.

- Firebase Realtime Database performance didn't scale, and wound up getting maxed out because of the way it works with nested key updates. Replaced with a Redis instance in k3s which is now running at <2% max capacity and is ~1,000x cheaper.

- Tried Planetscale. Cost was much higher than PostgreSQL.

- Tried Vercel. Bandwidth costs are very scary ($400 / TB egress, or ~350x the cost of Hetzner if you don't count Hetzner's free 20 TB per node)

That being said, I don't know of any good, reasonably-priced GPU offerings.
Can someone explain what it means by:

The Commodore 64 also had better sprites than the Amiga. Jay Miner didn't really like hardware sprites. I think he was wrong about this.
What kind of lawn needs that, rather than 1-2 hours of mowing per month?

(I'm assuming an area where grass actually fits the environment. If grass won't just grow then that's a problem that doesn't need more explanation.)
>I think having property standards is an important part of ensuring that people keep up their properties and by extension, maintain (and ideally beautify) their neighbourhoods.

Most places I've seen that have strict property standards end up being ugly swaths of green lawn with absolutely nothing pretty growing.
To each their own, but that lifestyle is not for me.
I tried that recently but I found the landscape generation to be really poor. I tried all the various generators, to no avail.

It's been a while since I played Minecraft but I can't recall the maps being that poorly constructed.

It really distracted me from the game, to the point I stopped after just a few hours.

Rest was pretty good tho, so a shame.
By my estimation, it seems you've now spent about ∞× more time making suggestions how to improve Lisp than actually working in it.

Without working in in Lisp solidly for a good 6 months, you don't know where the actual pain points are.

Show HN: Tamagotchi P1 for FPGAs
After ~7 months of being thrust headfirst into FPGA development thanks to the Analogue Pocket, my first from scratch creation is now available.

The core, running on both the Analogue Pocket and MiSTer platforms, lets users re-experience the very first Tamagotchi from 1996 with accurate emulation, but modern features. The core has savestates (which is much harder to do in hardware vs software emulation), high turbo speeds (1,800x was the max clock speed I've reached so far), and more.

Learning more about hardware and FPGAs is something I've wanted to do for many years, and I highly recommend it for any programmer-brained person. It's a very slightly different way of thinking that has vast consequences on how you look at simple problems.

Finally decided to create a real account instead of my throwaway and actually post something.

As someone who initially paid for a blue check the idea was appealing to increase signal vs noise, I detested all the scam / spam comments and posts.

I didn’t understand the rush to remove checks for existing notable accounts - and then forcing checks on folks and claiming they were paying is absolutely pathetic.

I share this because I was part of target market and was open to paying. If I cancelled mine I’ve got to imagine others will too - be interesting to get some data
Did you miss the part where TFA is about the British sovereign specifically? That's why I commented on it, but yes, I think they're all bonkers, though I do think the British Royal family (and British media) play up the pomp around their royals more than in most other countries.
British monarchy certainly seems to have an outsized presence in media.

Because by lumping them together, the pearl-clutchers create an association between people who go for alternative lawns with degenerates who leave dog feces lying around.

We've been suggesting The Others are dirty, unkempt, and irresponsible in order to ostracize them since the dawn of protectionism.
The lawns aren’t the reason for the HOAs. The HOAs are intended to try to protect the investment value of the homes by enforcing a level of maintenance in all of the properties. Not saying they are a net good but it doesn’t start with the lawns.
As I remark above... ideas aren't worth money, only results are.

Sell those domain names if you can... be aware that they're probably not worth much because their value is also tied to your idea... which doesn't have value until it's made real.

I'm being brutally honest here in an attempt to help. Bite the bullet and get a day job, pursue your project weekends and evenings even if that seems a painful way forward. All you have to do is produce working results and then you can sell the idea, quit your job, and go full time. If you're good enough to create your idea, you're good enough to sleep walk your way through a boring job that pays your bills and quickly put together working proof of your idea that you can use to obtain financing.
I've been trying to dive into this myself and there are a paucity of good resources on the subject. One that I found really good though was Longuski's Optimal Control with Aerospace Application. It has a good balance of math and application, even some MATLAB code at the end to implement some of it.

One note I'll make is that usually there's 2 separate optimization programs for a rocket. The first stage runs on "open-loop" guidance, i.e. a trajectory is created beforehand (and by trajectory I mean something like a pitch-velocity lookup table - when you are at this velocity, pitch by this amount) and the rocket flies this trajectory without optimizing it in real time.

After stage separation the upper stage will run closed loop guidance (typically something like Powered Explicit Guidance or PEG) that actually takes into account orbital parameters and fixes error in inclination, RAAN, apogree, perigee, etc. that may have been introduced by the first stage.

I've worked at one aerospace company where I know they follow this pattern, and I believe others do as well though can't confirm from personal experience.

Longuski's book mostly deals with the latter part of things. I haven't found a good reference for how to create an optimized first stage trajectory.
I’d go one step further. Corporation are literally the undead.

They live forever, devour our work product and consider themselves persons.
Bit of an ironic stance for someone with the name Galen Erso to take ;)
Unless your Macbook negotiates USB-PD, or USB-C standard 5V mode, it won't charge. There's a USB-PD controller in front of all the USB ports, so they will not pass any current in unless it gets the right signaling.

If you just try to trick it, there's over- and under-voltage protections built-in, so it should shut off if you just let the voltage float around.

Stick with something in-between to handle the solar.
