> They wound up with a contract that provided much more open access than ever before

Elsevier wanted them to buy more open access. That's one of its main long term goals for its journal business: switch everyone to open access. That's guaranteed money, compared to if everyone just started using a preprint server. (I believe it's on some page of their website, they say they want to move their journals more towards open access)

The consensus seems to be that they needed to change their model because all the negative press about their profits was threatening future revenues (in case academia actually got off its ass and found a new way to do research other than based on who published in Journal X). Open Access is the simple way for them to retain the same business and just get paid slightly differently. As they move more to Open Access their profit may decrease, but they're always acquiring new companies and diversifying the business, so by the time most of the business is Open Access they'll have made up for any profit loss. Or at least that seems like a rational view of the change, based on the fact that they're very clearly trying to get into more Open Access sooner than later.

I've been planning on building something like this for me, especially since I'm a solo founder. Would love to read more about your approach!
If this [1] is what you are using then create an issue on Github describing your setup, the issue and detailed steps to reproduce it. It appears they have 43 contributors so hopefully someone will have ideas.

Also, many of which were essentially the same, despite the different names. Theoretically a message made in Google Talk in 2005 would have been visible in chat history through migrations/rebrandings to Hangouts and Chat. You'd need a fair bit of research and a flowchart to explain them all.
Hope you are in a better state now.

> Employers don’t care

Relatable. I once spent a couple days in hospital because my friend got into an accident. The first day I show up in office my manager calls me into his office, asks how my friend is and then immediately starts grilling me on how I am behind on my work. And this manager was a good _person_ but these companies push you to be less human at times.
Lepton sensors cucked because itar lol
My primary use of the Home speakers is playing music in the shower. That experience is actually pretty bad though, over the years between google music and spotify, getting it to play my music is just horribly obtuse. I can't reliably get it to start my music. "Playing a playlist called my favorites" or similar rather than playing my own playlist.

At one point after 3-4 failed attempts like this I said "F you" and the speaker said "Don't speak to me like that." So I unplugged it.
Yeah. I do love a good bug hunt or an adrenaline spiking incident response (though I've never been traumatized with any real disasters) but I get "fresh SimCity map" feels starting something new.
It's not just the auto industry. A lot of industries struggle with managing software projects. If you think about it, it's the reason we have such a vaguely named thing as the "tech industry" to begin with. Tech firms are basically just normal firms that are good at managing software projects, and this skill is sufficiently rare/unique that it comes to define them.

As for why that is, well, you have to work in a non-tech company for a while to really see the problems. Suffice it to say that the gap between programmers and non-programmers in how they think and understand the process of developing software is enormous, and too large to bridge. You can't explain even things that would seem obvious and basic on this forum to non-tech people, because they just immediately reject it.
> So what exactly is his "warning" about?

Not sure about this particular one, but in general, this sort of warning is along the lines of "If you continue expending effort in subverting the spirit of the law, we shall tighten the regulations to such an extent that it will hurt you".

The world and their dog knew what the goal of the regulations were: if the goal is not met because "Apple has a lot of lawyers and presumably they're following the law as written." you can expect the law to be rewritten in a way that is punitive to Apple.
Show HN: A macOS app that suggests fixes to error messages on screen
Hi HN, I wanted to share and get feedback on an early prototype of a product I've been building.

The product is called Essential. It is a MacOS app that serves as a co-pilot for your screen. The core idea is to use Computer Vision and LLMs to understand what's on your screen and help you troubleshoot any errors you run into. For example - build failures in your IDE, or error logs in your terminal / browser. Essential saves you from having to copy paste error messages into a search engine. Moreover, you get a solution that works in your context.

Here's a demo of how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gswh5EO7oqM

Would you find this useful? Please share any comments or feedback that comes to mind. Thank you for reading!
To just about any business, unless you have a very close relationship with the owner, you really are just another expense. If they think they're losing more money on you than they're earning and that the benefit won't even be realized later, they will get rid of you. It's horrible and yet I can also see their side. The company needs to at least make enough to keep paying all of its other expenses and it gets hard if a lot of people they keep on have similar issues to you. And some of those similar issues might not even be real. There's people who would see the lenience you're getting and take advantage of that to also get undeserved lenience.

Here's hoping that you are able to keep your job. A poor performance review still leaves a chance to stay. It sounds like at least some of the things that have needed your time and attention are no longer overlapping, which might be enough to be able to satisfy your employer without going into full burnout.
I would pay to read that article.
You know, there is a word, called standard and govs sometimes mandate those standards to help consumers...
> I took a week and a half off, but then came back and kept pushing. Now it feels even worse internally. I'm not sure what to do. I could take an extended leave maybe, but time off doesn't seem to be helping. I can sort of push through it right now, but I feel like the more I do that the worse it'll eventually get.

I tried this way for many years. Work hard for 4-5 years, then one year of relaxation and not working at all. Was fine during the year of relaxation, but at the end of the "work" cycle it always felt like shit.

What I found working better is instead being able to have the cycle nailed down for each day + the weekends. Absolutely nothing after 4pm related to work, until I'm back at work in the morning next day. If I even start thinking thoughts related to it, I actively push them away, even if it would be helpful.

In the beginning, it was really hard, as I'm used to just walking about and thinking about work. But now after a while, my brain automatically go into leisure mode at 4pm, and it finally feels like I get actual rest between leaving and coming back to work.
> What happens when there is a better USB-C plug - isn't there a concern that locking into the current standard means in 50 years the EU is still stuck.

The regulations take this into account.
If you choose to own your own data, you certainly, literally, can, at a price. If you choose not to, you can also not own it. You cannot own all data, and you do need to be able to understand the difference.
(Though I suppose people who don't like greenfield projects probably don't like fresh SimCity maps, either!)
Thanks for mentioning the missing parts. It was so obvious that I missed it, they are now added ;)

You are right, Version 2 had a visual camera. However, the alignment between LWIR sensor and visual camera was never perfect and most people only used the thermal image feature OR they took photos with a smartphone and combined it in the Thermal Analysis Software (ThermoVision) on the PC later on. That's why I decided to remove the visual camera for V3 to reduce building complexity and costs.
Because Keep was released FIVE years before Task. And at the same rate, we are gonna have the same conversation in 5 years on why someone haven’t started using the new SuperDuperKeepTask service.

From the product POV, anyone who has ever used knowledge base will tell you that you should keep everything related to your data/ info in a single app. Spreading them out by any categorization is just inviting recall issue later on.
I had the same issue, but support kept disconnecting me and I had to start all over again going through the entire “try all of the brain dead stuff like resetting” 3 times, before I finally gave up and just ordered a new Nest and ate the cost.
Regulations should level the playing field, per your example.

This doesn't do anything like that.
If you have a jaded view of the EU out to get you by (checking notes) ignoring the directive and not consulting with the experts so that they can force you to use a specific connector even when better options get created... Sure, I don't think we see the same reality.
I suppose the difference is that Apple don't have the monopoly on your charger?
Er, surely the solution is obvious? Just use higher contrast colour choices. And while we're at it, get rid of stupidly thin fonts.
This site flips between dark-on-light and light-on-dark, at least one of which is a visual encumbrance to some people — see ‘astigmatic halation’ — and the other of which may well be to others. (In my experience, switching between the two, as too many sites do for code display, is the worst.)

If you're not using browser default colors, respect `@prefers-color-scheme`.
Separately, there's a notion of purchases large enough you have to plan for them. $523 is a few weeks of pay for some people even in the US. The headline is set up to suggest a low-cost (because it's DIY) relative to the status quo of devices an average student couldn't really buy to tinker with. The result is more expensive than an off-the-shelf thermal camera I bought awhile ago without substantially better features (other than tinkerability).
That's not what the law mandates)
That's a good point. The more I think about it the more what I said was a way of rationalizing not agreeing with the parent comment. Even if there were no ressource constrains it still doesn't feel selfish to me not to have children.
Just imagine how pissed Gordon Ramsay would be watching people wasting piles of money that could have comfortably started up multiple restaurants

You expect a space constrained device like a smartphone to have multiple ports?
Digit Party On
The product they are selling isn't science/articles, it's exclusivity. Despite the rhetoric, most people don't want inclusivity. They want their stuff to be in the best/exclusive/fancy group, and only want to consume the best, most exclusive stuff.

Obviously, my statement is not universal so providing some counter-examples is irrelevant.
> The lightning cable has whatever you want on the other end.

The lightning cable has whatever Apple wants on the other end.
Or Apple provided a small, uni-oriented, high-speed interface when none existed.
They were raked over the coals for dropping the 30 pin connector and promised to wait a long time before switching. Meanwhile USB-C was developed and the EU decided to interfere. What I wish is we stopped developing at parallel interfaces.

”For example, if we know that Patrick is incredibly afraid of flying, then we might draw the conclusion that Patrick was overcome by fear on the day he was supposed to fly to the conference, rather than got sick.”

By the definitions in OP, shouldn’t we say abduction is a sort of Bayesian induction?

The fact there are different cables is what makes USB-C stupid.

Do you think a mum and dad at home know the difference?

My dad had a USB-C cable for his android tablet. When I got him an iPad he tried using the same cable. It wouldn’t change. That makes the whole point of USB-C pointless

Defending the stupidness of USB-C cables just makes you a fanboy.
Frankly, what does "designing hardware as a EE" have to do with software issues your parent has described? Pine64 sells PinePhones, but doesn't do any software development, not even kernel drivers. That's not "failure", that's the expected outcome. You got what you paid for. The community does an amazing job supporting the hardware, but there's only so much you can do with self-motivated volunteers on such a complex project.

There are other projects out there where you pay for both hardware and FLOSS software development, such as Librem 5 with PureOS.

So far so good for me. Please share what you need on the end of a lightening cable that can't be found.
> But if the whole world adopted this kind of regulatory stance, there would be much less incentive to invent that better cable because you now have huge regulatory bodies that may block its adoption and thus mean most of that work was money and time wasted.

Actually, the only incentive left is to make significantly better cables; the incentive to make marginal "improvements" in order to achieve vendor lock-in is removed.
I think it has to be somebody British. Somehow a British accent is associated with a particular sort of nitpicky but fundamentalist right perfectionism, and also non-threatening enough that it isn’t too awkward to watch harsh criticism occur.

Like imagine if The Weakest Link lady had had a midwestern accent or something, it wouldn’t have become a thing.
Maybe because eu want to optimize for charging speed, data transfer and universality of the port? Standards exist for a reason and this reason usually doesn't allign with all wishes of the companies
Money is the metric for power

At the highest levels it’s about power and control and shaping the world to what you want it to be

It’s all neurotic anxiety about not having the ability to do whatever you want unimpeded forever and generating “generational wealth” so that literally your kids kids kids will be ensured that they don’t have to go to public school

Go live around billionaires a while and it’s blatantly obvious that everything is just about calming fears and anxieties but with a never ending desire to get more on behalf of whatever in group they relate.
In democracies opinion polls are regarded as important because people's opinions matter. The EU doesn't care about them because the EU is not a democracy.

Even if you pretend the distance between voters and decision makers doesn't matter, here's a simple test: did your countries elected official vote for von der Leyen? You don't know the answer because the process by which she was selected is totally opaque by design. We don't even know if there was a vote at all. We don't know why she was selected. The MEPs were given a choice of her or nobody else. So please don't tell people that the EU is democratic or made up of "officials appointed by elected officials".

"If UK wants to block travel and resident rights of EU citizens and keep access into EU markets"

The EU granted residency rights automatically to everyone from the EU who was living there, and the EU still told everyone in the country to fuck off - including millions of those so-called "EU citizens" whose so-called rights suddenly stopped mattering.

But this is really a sideshow. The fact is, nobody in Europe was going on protest marches about USB-C or kettle speeds. The EU spends time on this stuff because it's made up of powerful but bubble-living bureaucrats who don't care and don't have to care about what matters to everyone else.
TypeScript is an optional preprocessor that he's deliberately using, and then complaining about it. Typical DHH.

Unfortunately, I have to take this with a grain of salt, because this study wouldn’t have been published if it had found the opposite. Could there be opposite-conclusion studies that were quashed?

If a topic allows only affirmative results in one direction, those same results become statistically impossible to evaluate.
Yes ... exactly ... they reintroduced a non-standard connector because people preferred it to the standard one. See the problem?
On one hand, neat.

On the other hand, I think it's sad that so much time and brainpower is going on contriving ways to get bad tooling to do something, rather than on the actual meat of the problem solving.

You'd think that in 50 years somebody could have invented a better preprocessor, and save the need for all the while(0) and other trickery needed for macros.
That would be really neat, but I haven't seen anyone even make a CMOS imager on SKY130.

https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk

One could make an array of thermopiles, like the hacker that made their own imager out of discrete diodes (digiOBSCURA) . But each pixel would cost $7.

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/excelitas-technol...

One might be able to make an array of thermistors (possibly with active cooling using a peltier) like the diycamera (digiOBSCURA) below. Might be an application of combining many RC oscillators in a tree and recovering the signal with an FFT. I have a gut feeling this is possible, but haven't show it. Isn't this the same as or similar to your keyboard multiplexer design?

NixFS: Access Flakes Through Filesystem Paths
Can anyone explain why I would get a FLIR Lepton system (America) vs an InfiRay P2 (China) system? The InfiRay seems to have much better performance for the price, and sturdier construction. But software? As much fun as DIY is, I want something with a UVC interface I can plug into a Linux machine.
I believe this is the extension: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode
Ok, how about at most state levels then? I seriously doubt you could wire up new construction in a completely nonstandard way and then expect to pass inspection.
There was a time where they had a least two, and the screen size and the phones got bigger since then.
As noted in the paper: "Thus, this study builds upon previous work considering males9 to estimate the effect of body size (indexed from stature as this is currently a key operational anthropometric criterion, unlike body mass)".

What would be interesting is to perform the same comparison indexed on body mass, since many of the differences between male and female requirements seem to be predicated on body mass vs stature differences between male and female.

You can kinda estimate this by comparing a 1.5m male and 1.6m female in their data fields (typical 1.5m male is approximately same mass typical 1.6m female in their dataset). It does seem that a 1.5m male still expends more resources during "aerobic countermeasures" (ie exercise).

Still, interesting stuff. 1.6m female is basically the US 50th percentile height for females. In principle, restricting crew to that criteria wouldn't be too logistically onerous (you still get ~25% of the US population to work with).
I currently have a ~30 min commute by car and ~40 mins by train.

I still pick the train because I can read stuff for 20 mins uninterrupted. I don't have to get worked up about traffic, someone merging without indicating, etc.

But the same connection is scheduled every 10 minutes, so I don't need to plan around it.

On my last job with a 15 minute car commute vs 30-50 minutes by bus (the bus was often not on schedule), I always picked the car. Especially because I can't read in the bus anyway from the way it moves.

I might have picked the bus if it didn't only come every 15 minutes and sometimes be delayed by 20. Especially because connections then become less time intensive.

Public transit works well when you don't need to check the schedule and can just go at any time, certain that your train will come in the next 3-5 minutes, and any connection does the same.
Surveillance Graphs
I tried Matomo.

Self hosting is easy. That's a plus.

I also like the interface. Took a while to get used to it but after that, I liked it even better than Google Analytics.

But one problem that seems unsurmountable is that it tries to be clever. And while trying, it messes up your data.

If you have pages with a parameter in the querystring that is called "q", Matomo does not count those as pageviews. It tries to be clever and only count those as "searches". Probably because many site searches use a parameter "q" for what the user is searching for.

Even if a page is a search result page, it should be counted as a pageview.

The problem gets even worse when you have users bookmarking pages with a "q" parameter. Then things get really messy when you try to understand which pages users use, where they come from etc.

I have searched a lot, but have found no way to disable this "cleverness". And no way to retroactively fix the data.
Yes. Apple, in particular, has driven adoption of new and improved cables and adapters. This has been true of USB, Firewire and Thunderbolt.

If the EU were as heavy handed 20 years ago as it is today, we'd almost certainly have less bandwidth and slower charging.
I know this is an incredibly snarky, cynical and just negative take, but that's how I felt when I was trying to use Plasma Wayland. That it was on a touch device made the experience considerably worse, but a lot of the UI glitches would likely have happened without it.

A friend of mine has a collection of KDE glitches that look like the ones I experienced, but are completely different.

Every KDE update blog post talks about bug fixes, but during the time I had been using KDE I couldn't sense any improvement. It's like they either fixed a minute subset of bugs or kept putting in new ones.

Super easy to game these test though.

At first, I was completely honest with myself, and truly gave the sincere answers - I got 20/102. (I guess I don't necessarily always see hacking and similar activities as a horribly criminal offense, even though it might be illegal)

Then I imagined what a stone cold psychopath would act like, and got a 101/102. I unfortunately have real-life experience with people like that, as we had one living in our home for 3 years when I was younger.

Lastly, I got -18/102 by doing the complete opposite.

In any case, I think that most (actual) sociopaths or psychopaths would just game the system.
Does anyone know what is meant by this:
