> For any API you can find an example of someone else using it.

Amazing. This was the light bulb moment for me. I work at [big tech co] and we have an internal code search tool, and anytime I need to use a new API I pull it up to find examples of how it's used.

Now I can do this for the entire world of OSS, amazing.

stupid question: why keep such valuable items at home in the first place? if they are replaceable, you can just insure them. If they are not, they are better stored somewhere else, no?

By having such high valuables at home, aren't you putting your family at risk?

Also, why talk about these things on the internet? Isn't that painting a target on your back too?

I understand the safe room, just not the safe.

Ask HN: Please help Does HTTP/3 chain requests?
Afternoon HN,

I may have rather serendipitously implemented HTTP/3 support for a Flask-like CMS.

Does HTTP/3 reduce server requests by concatenating multi-resource requests into a single request conveyed through a "chained-path"?

For example:

Loading example.com/about requires loading style.css and favicon.ico.

HTTP/2 would request example.com/about, request style.css, request favicon.ico.

Does HTTP/3: request example.com/about & style.css & favicon.ico with a single request path similar to "/about/style.css/favicon.png"?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

The government should keep their hands as far away from e-mail as possible. This is a solved problem since decades ago. There are great working e-mail services that anybody can afford. The government is not a God who will step down and make everything all right.
Paywall.

That said from reading the first 2 paragraphs, it just seems that people are stuck in their ways, and more importantly, have attached the entire notion of green/clean energy sources to a political party, and due to the polarization of politics, just simply say "no" because their chosen party is against green/clean energy.

It's incredibly sad, depressing and just plain dumb.

I can relate to this - while my parents are very fiscally conservative, they are big time environmentalists too, so my sister and I got to drive a Toyota Prius. I grew up in a very conservative (and outrageously wealthy) suburb of NYC when it was cool to drive around in a big SUV (mid to late 2000's). The amount of verbal abuse I took for driving that Prius was extensive, from both classmates and random people on the road....despite gas being over $5 a gallon at the time. One would think people who are fiscally conservative would leap at the prospect of paying under $100 a month on gas, as opposed to paying more than that each week in gas, but, nope.

People got sucked into the green = democrat = EVIL COMMIES OH NO THEYRE GONNA TAKE MY MONEY AND MY GUNS AND MY TRUCK AND MY WAY OF LIFE mindset and just haven't grown up mentally. Thanks to extensive lobbying by automakers, oil companies, and other actors that stand to benefit from gas guzzling automobiles, that mentality hasn't changed.
> I think the US’ tipping culture produces a better overall level of service than we’d have otherwise

I think the opposite is true. I've had better service in the UK and New Zealand and pretty much any country that doesn't have US tipping culture.

I could see it being true for high-end restaurants and offerings though, maybe.

> Or any early experiment on humans (‘extreme’ or not), as the potential benefits don’t justify the risks.

Well that's just it. If 'early' is automatically bad, and 'early' just means anything not currently allowed, then you're using the FDA's definition.

Or when you use the term 'early', are you defining 'early' based on what is ethical? That's definitely not the meaning of 'early' the neurosurgeon was using!!

The neurosurgeon wants to do 'early'. But 'early' is a vast swath of scenarios, covering orders of magnitude of safety and preparedness. Which is why I think using very extreme examples does more harm than good to having a conversation about this.

I don't think letting people sign up to do a test moderately earlier than they currently can is a huge ethical problem. Even if we assume it's a bad idea, it's not Evil. That's my real objection to the original point. A medium-size change to current regulations is nowhere near "capital E Evil".

I don't think we need to have exact discussions about where the line is, my point is that the great-whatever parent was assuming some kind of crazy extreme and acting like that was the only possible meaning for the sentence. And my asking them where the line is was a way of trying to make that clear, that they're neglecting more mundane scenarios.
This is one of those causation vs correlation 101 things. Who lives within 2 miles of their workplace? Typically either young active people, rich people, or single types who would prefer a small place with a city lifestyle.

Who has the longest commutes? Poor people, older people with children who need bigger places, or people who for whatever reason don't like being near the hustle and bustle of the cities.

Big surprise, lots of confounding variables in these two very different self selected groups. Turns out older/poorer people with lots of obligations tend to have sleep problems.
Depends on how well the task can be estimated ahead of time.
And they also don't generally have order of magnitude changes in their earnings from year to year.
In principle, yeah, but the edge cases look nasty pretty quickly.

Some streaming platforms do have ads shown alongside their shows. So a residual structure could make sense.

Some shows will air on both kinds of streaming platforms - Community is on both Hulu and Netflix.

Some shows will start on linear television and then come to streaming, or vice versa -- Abbott Elementary is a recent, popular example.

I think you're generally right, though -- smart people could figure this out if they sat down and talked about it. It seems like the talking is the hard part right now.

Ask HN: Samsung Health without a SIM card?
I don't like to be tracked. So when a device does not work without initializing it via an app, I install the app on a secondary phone and then delete it again.

But to get my data from my smartwatch, I need the Samsung Health app. And that one refuses to install if the phone does not have a SIM card inserted.

Is there a way around this, so I can get my data without being tracked by Samsung?
Works for this one specific case of when screen space reflections fall short. IMO fishing rods / planes make for much more distracting visual issues.

There are protocols for this sort of thing, so a given department takes the lead by default. On national security for example the FBI does the counter-intelligence investigations, but obviously affected agencies can, and do, decide to feed disinformation instead of allowing an arrest to proceed. This needs coordination to overcome the faction thing.

Some dude will say that "i" is also used as the vector for the horizontal axis, i is sometimes used in induction as iterator too, so clearly it should be refactored to sqrtOfMinusOne. Also + and * are overloaded in math, so maybe they should be replaced with a clear name like "realNumberAdition"
Everyone who I know who has died has eaten food. Every single one of them. Coincidence?
This practice is more generally known as "drip pricing"[1], and it is definitely a dark pattern.

My feeling is that the travel search engines should define a standard for a certain category of travel, and then show the price that achieves that standard. That this hasn't happened shows a sort of industry capture or lack of competition, IMO.

If a hotel is said to be 4-stars, then amenities like WiFi, gym, and pool access should be included in the rate. If they have a resort fee, that should be included on the search engine.

For airfare, economy class should have a reserved seat, printed ticket, with X inches of legroom, Y inches of width, 1 standard carry-on, 1 check-in bag, a soft drink and crunchy snack of your choice for short flights, and a meal at 4+ hours. Whatever price that ends up being is what is shown on the search engine. If it requires "economy plus" to achieve that level of service, then that's what you get if you search for "economy" class fares.

Let the search engine have a "steerage" search class for the 2-star hotel experience at a 4-star hotel, and the "water costs extra" economy airlines.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drip_pricing
I didn't know this existed in NYC. It's well known in Vegas (which the article mentions) where it's called a "resort fee". It's paid at check out and is mandatory. And yes, it's to have a lower sticker price for rooms.

Airlines do it too. There are "fuel surcharges" and other fees that aren't really fees. It's just a way to make the ticket appear cheaper.

Uber got in trouble some years ago by adding a "safety fee" to their fares. What did this buy? Absolutely nothing. They just pocketed it.

And of course concerts are a big one for added on fees that may well double the price (or more).

And let's not get started on AirBnB and their "cleaning fees".

I hate this crap. The only price you should be able to quote is the all-inclusive price. And mandatory fees should be part of that price. It should be illegal (ie false advertising) to do otherwise. It just goes to show how feckless the FTC is.
In the early 2000s my sysadmin boss still used his college days NeXT Slab as his desktop computer.

> Maintaining separation of powers.

FYI, SoP concerns branches, not agencies:

Separation of powers refers to the division of a state's government into "branches", each with separate, independent powers and responsibilities, so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with those of the other branches.[1]

Like the Dept. of Justice, Dept. of State, Dept. of the Interior, the FCC the EPA, etc. etc., both the FBI and the CIA are housed with the executive branch of government, and are both executive branch agencies. The FBI is organized under the Justice Department and answers to the Attorney General, is a law enforcement agency but also an intelligence agency that reports to the Director of National Intelligence, just like the CIA, which is organized under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Congress, the legislative branch, has oversight via control of both FBI and CIA budgets, but the point to be gleaned here is that it is not the separation of powers that prevents FBI and CIA from sharing information, but instead, generally speaking, their separate mandates. FBI is a domestic law enforcement and intelligence agency, while CIA is not a law enforcement agency but instead an intelligence gathering agency that does intelligence analysis, and specifically information only regarding foreign countries and their citizens. Unlike the FBI, CIA is prohibited from collecting information regarding "U.S. Persons," which includes U.S. citizens, resident aliens, legal immigrants, and U.S. corporations, regardless of where they are located.

Not on purpose, but I could imagine someone at FTX signing up for datadog, configuring it to ingest their logs without doing any estimation or setting up any guardrails and then not checking on it because things were probably crazy over there.

Having never heard of datadog, Wikipedia’s summary is:

> Datadog is an observability service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.

So it checks if your servers have crashed or slowed down with a nice dashboard?

Any better summaries or descriptions of what it does and how coinbase would have used it?
Three reasons: Julia feels more like math, there's a huge long-term commitment to the language because it's used for climate modeling, and package management is completely painless.

I love Python, but I can also see eventually doing everything in Julia over the longer term. Mind you, it's entirely possible that AI continues to improve and in 5 years any package will be available in any language, you'll look at code mainly for verification purposes in whatever language you happen to prefer.

I don't know how to describe it, but the WGA had a form of collective action in 2019 - they fired all of their agents. Not exactly a strike, but maybe more like a boycott?
Your distinction doesn't make any sense.

Suppose the video isn't of an old statement made by the defendant which they don't remember making, it's a video of one of their products catching fire sourced from an anonymous YouTube account. They have no way to know if that video is fake or not, so on what basis could they claim to know for sure that it is?

But because it could very plausibly be fake, they should be able to demand proof that it isn't from the party trying to introduce it as evidence. For example, by having it authenticated by the person who created it, whose credibility could then be questioned etc.

> "That's not me, I wasn't at X, I was at Y, and here are receipts and witnesses" are highly likely to work too. Basically, an alibi.

An alibi is the defense proving that they couldn't have done it. The burden of proof is supposed to be on the plaintiff. Creating deepfakes is so easy that a plaintiff in possession of one by itself proves nothing.
But the user does have money everywhere. India's GDP has long surpassed that of the UK and is quickly approaching that of Germany.

It can work similar to RudderStack if we build a JS library that can send tracking events into the platform. But I think Rudderstack has more features around ETL and Reverse ETL which do not exist today in cptn.

RudderStack is AGPL while cptn is MIT.
I first ran into randomization delays in cronie (the ~ is how it's implemented also and there's a RANDOM_DELAY variable for use too), after redhat had switched to it at some point years ago. Personally, never really used it, but it's nice it's there.
IMO the question to be asking is “how do we reduce risk of second and third order effects of changing the API, regardless of whether the change is intentional or accidental.”
In your model, any clients consuming the API would have runtime errors if there are breaking changes because the types/data structures are maintained independently. These runtime errors might be tough to debug. Hopefully you know there are breaking changes coming so you can prepare for when the API change is deployed. If it’s a regression then maybe you get an incident.
In the shared type/data structure model the error happens at compile time because the rest of your app doesn’t know how to consume the breaking type change. You know what broke because now your client won’t compile. There may still be runtime errors if the API was deployed after the latest client deployment, but generally it’s easier to surface where the regression/change happened because the types are shared.

I think many people prefer the compile-time error surfacing.

There’s definitely trade offs to sharing types though, especially if the API and clients are in different languages. If your team is small enough and has enough context on API changes it’s probably easier to maintain different types. But if it’s large or spanning multiple teams it might be better to rely on tooling to share or generate types. It’s always about trade offs.
The step counters always seemed wildly inaccurate to me and they're pretty much useless for hiking. But I'm generally not really into the quantified health stuff.
A previous workplace switched from this to a competitor, which had much worse graphing as far as I could tell. Seems like an important function for these tools! I wondered why they did that, I guess this is the answer.

The pace of development on iPadOS has been pretty sad, but I'm interested in the USB-C thunderbolt support so you can use the iPad with any external display or dock.

In that mode, fine grained control is really needed, and that's when we need something more like macOS to appear.

Both, actually.

As an RP, due to regulatory or security requirements, for example:

Knowing whether I need to worry about my users' iCloud and Google accounts having been taken over or not is important for accurately evaluating the security posture of any service built on Passkeys as an authentication factor.

And as a user, I don’t trust Apple's or Google's sync backends enough to store my most important credentials there. Especially iCloud is frighteningly easy to hijack, even with a recovery code in place (which ironically at the same time increases the chance I’ll lock myself out as the legitimate user).
I got a NanoVNA for about $60 and it works way better then I had any right to expect. If you have any need to figure out some kind of RF issue it is well worth the money for the amount of time you will save.

I used it to diagnose a VHF issue on a boat. The AIS was reporting high VSWR but only sometimes... It turned out that the antenna was seriously affected by it's angle relative to the metal poles that support the Bimini top.

Also, a lossy cable is not always a bad thing. A lossy cable can stabilize a PA if you are forced to have bad match at the load end.

> In theory, systems can be built such that changes and updates are simple configuration changes, including new features.

Taken to the extreme, that's a low code platform. However, the complexity I am speaking of is the intersection of what a product should do today, what it does do today, what it should do tomorrow, and what technical debt prevents this from being obvious.

(For example, if the system has grown in a way that what was one team is now four and they are all trying to work in an intermingled codebase that made sense in a smaller organization.)

The solution may be 1,000 lines of code, but it takes the analysis from someone who provides a 1,000 line rather than a 10,000 line solution. That 1,000 lines might even be obvious once the problem is defined.

A senior developer, in this case, is someone for whom the mechanical translation of an idea to code is not the limiting part.

> So while any given feature could be coded by multiple teams of mid-level skill, it could also be coded by a small team of high level engineers.

That's entirely true. However, there are more organizations than high level engineers. And how do you manage to build those high level engineers if all we (as an industry) do is keep hiring from a small group?
