Economists tell us that the COVID-19 pandemic triggered the sharpest downturn in the world economy since the Great Depression. Result? Well, looking at the Mauna Loa atmospheric CO2 for the last five years, it's difficult to detect any shift in its monotonic increase.

I was kind of waiting for the day where a touchscreen based app would be more productive than a traditional laptop with keyboard.
Yet, after many years all we got is fruit ninja and a concession from apple in the form of attachable keyboard for the iPad.
So I’m equally sceptical that the investment in headset based interface is actually worth it.
That was a lot of words for nothing to say... To sum up the entire article in one sentence:

The overwhelming majority of EV chargers in the US use NACS, that is what makes it the standard.
The reality is, this stuff is hard to get right, especially in the middle of something - someone is unlikely to be right 100% of the time.

I didn't see anything in that article about if and how much worse is today than it used to be.

> I'm saying that wages have gone up at a lower rate than inflation,

That's just factually incorrect. Real hourly wages have held steady since the 60s and are slightly up from when millennials were born:

This is why I don't usually like to wade into these debates. People have a warped perception of how things used to be and how they've changed.
Not even just flaky tests, but tests that don't specify enough to stop a paperclip maximizer; consider an AI told to stop the 500 errors, which blocks all users, thereby stopping the 500 errors. (Prior art: Consider the tetris-playing AI that was told to maximize how long it could go without losing, and which "won" by hitting the pause button.)
Not so sure I agree with the pricing strategy. It feels to me they aimed squarely for MacBook Pro pricing.
I have seen highly educated people claim that the body has a "natural weight" that it will always adhere to in spite of exercise or eating habits. Why this natural weight seems to skew to a much bigger number on average specifically in the US has yet to be answered.

> Fine, you may have strong priors against Amazon, but don't act like evidence to the contrary is supporting your position.

Apologies, however I don't understand your position. To me this reads as word salad.

(1) There is no evidence to the contrary. (2) You've made a blanket assumption that I have strong priors against Amazon.

If you could reword your statement I am happy to try and understand what your point (assuming there is one).

Yeah. Show this to the Dwarf Fortress team. I hope they're already working on it anyway.
M1 mini will make a great home server, would be nice to see someone do a comparison with similar products like Intel NUC for a home server of that size. I'm using an old NUC as a home server and the only drawback is that it only has the capacity for 2 harddrives.
I really do love the idea. But in addition to the moderation risks others have mentioned, are you prepared to issue tax documents to every jurisdiction where you might be rendering payments?
Is this somehow relevant to the article, or just an "indie games are hard" lament?
This is the same reason I can't ever see microtransactions for news sites gaining traction. While I can't afford to subscribe to every news site I would like to, I also don't want to have to decide whether every news article I might read is going to be worth my penny before I read it. So I stick with the status quo of subscribing to a couple of key sites and skipping out when I hit a paywall. It's suboptimal for both sides but I can't see pay per article working any better realistically.
In Switzerland, the national rail company's online services were down in the morning and people could not buy tickets.

Risc-v is interesting due to legal/licensing reasons rather than technological reasons. It certainly seems a good fit with ideological software
The Mom Test, mentioned in the post, have a good templates on how to do research on problems your potential clients might have. First 3 chapters are good to read because they explain what should be focued on and what's artificial.
To give an example - Germany has way too few people in elderly care, and conditions are worsening, so numbers are dropping. What is the solution by the leading party voted for by boomers? They would like to introduce a year of mandatory service after the young are done with school to keep the cost low.
Depth is a useful parameter for controlnet, especially when you want really specific forms. I've found that it can hamper outputs because blank sections of solid color are interpreted as flat walls, when really I'm trying to make those parts ambiguous!
I think the ruling sounds even more strict than that. I read it as you can make a business that parodies another business, but you cannot then go on to trademark your parody.
There are multiple ways this can happen:

* people in the area are not owning their houses, but (the companies owned by) people who live somewhere in Florida do (or the richer part of the same town)

* people bought their houses 40 years ago when it was still possible to do so, but would now be totally priced were they required to buy it now

* same but the rental equivalent for rent controlled apartments (or kind landlords)

* due to the interest rate increases, mortgages for new homes have increased rapidly, like even if the house price is the same as 1.5 years ago, the mortgage is now three times as much for the same down payment and duration.
Thank you, good point.

It is a small note "Minimum deployment target" at the original article. Seems like features tied to target OS are: PMR, filesystem, to_chars/from_chars and newest atomic-based synchronisation primitives.
People stick cloud flare on the front less for the CDN/DDoS protection and more for the web application firewall, because their small business website is almost certainly some incredibly out of date Wordpress install with more vulnerabilities than you can shake a stick at.

Wordpress should integrate one of those "Wordpress to static site" plugins as the default because that's all 80% of the users need.
That's easy.

Less if you add "competent" to the qualifications list :)
hmmm, not quite. To get an email address you need a computer. We went from 1% of the population having email addresses in 1994 to a decent 25%+ of the population in 1998 (or around then). All of them had to buy a computer to access that email.

If VR was so compelling, people would buy the headset to get the experience. It's not so they don't.
> On W11 you have to resort to more esoteric tricks, you can't actually complete setup normally without network and a ms account.

Maybe with the latest images, but I have an original W11 RTM image that installs just fine without network and a MS account.
Thanks, we're thinking about changing to a feed format but will take your comments into consideration.
The only problem with this is that on interface up/down it can take a few minutes for the network to be available. This may not be an issue with a server or idle desktop but may be confusing for non tech people or laptop users.

If you can manage it, a pihole/pivpn instance may be better. Both of those can be installed on any debian distro easily.
I'm curious how the economics work out. I don't think it's unrealistic to believe that the customer base that are going to be buying visionOS applications is going to be very limited compared to everything else. Very few people are going to shell out 3.4k for a niche product like this.

HoloLens found it's niche in commercial sectors like manufacturing and logistics so there's a potential path to make a profitable software business in that direction.

However I'm curious what makes this play exciting for indie developers who might not have enough cash for a "long play" here. For iOS it wasn't difficult to see what the benefit would be and iPad only expanded the audience (and breadth of applications having more power under the hood). This is quite a bit different: the technology has been here for a while but the audience seems to be missing (or not as big as you'd think).

What's the play here for small businesses? Just use a portion of your budget to throw spaghetti at the wall?
> And there is literally 0 connection to be made between this outage and the actual protest

From the linked article:

> “A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” said Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt.
I literally reinstalled win10 yesterday and you’re right on. I couldn’t even install due to “a media driver your computer needs is missing” with no further info and no workaround. This was after mbr2gpt.exe failed and gave no information on why and every online resource was SEO crap without any info on fixing it.

I eventually used Ventoy, it works on Linux and solved my problems immediately. It also forces the win installer to think it’s offline to avoid the dark pattern of online-“only” accounts.

Then it was loaded with adverts and other horseshit. Seriously degraded experience.

All of this because when I was trying to play a game pass game the play button just did nothing. No logs, no info, nothing. The online help was pretty good, but removing/resetting/reinstalling all game related software did nothing. Real pain when there’s no feedback.
When I first got Cities: Skylines, I had expected it to scratch the same SimCity itch. It didn't. I'm still waiting for the true spiritual successor to SimCity.
And it would all work out, because the army would actually be composed of the striking workers, hired on short-contracts to intimidate themselves, and any strike-breakers would also be striking workers hired at greater pay; where else are you going to find people with exactly the right knowledge and experience, AND available suddenly? :)
Good luck stating that in any modern office. I dare you.

Most gen-zers have no clue about how the real world works outside your smartphones. Hint: not as you think. At all.
I set up my own Lemmy server for now. (https://civilloquy.com/)

I'm not sure I see a ton of the benefits to federation, but it kind of lets a lot of services which would otherwise compete get a more substantial user base off the get-go. There still are no services with a user base to provide a comparable experience to reddit, but it has to start somewhere.

Ask HN: Intel Mac Pro Users with > 192GB of RAM, Views on New Machine?
The old Intel Mac Pro maxxed out at 1.5TB of RAM, the new one maxxes out at 192GB.

I've been wondering recently about those with > 192GB of RAM in the Intel model, what are your views on the new Apple Silicon version?

Is it still useful for you?

Does the less RAM matter less because it's faster (as is the SSD when it comes to swapping etc)?

Are you screwed because you need all of that RAM, are dependent on macOS specific software and now there is no upgrade path?

Or are you going to move to a PC running Windows or Linux with all of the RAM you need?

OR are you just sticking with the machine you have because the build quality is great and it does everything you need + will last for a long time to come?

Also, what do you need all of that RAM for anyway?

Cheers
Well a proper system should reduce the timeout for the same domain, the more it gets raised, and set it back to default once stats are good again.

But it's very complicated and costly to setup, so almost nobody does this.
I don't see the need for this. I mean, its a fun idea for LLMs/Generative text, but does the target user struggle with figuring out how to configure an alert in their o11y tools?
They did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue

The problem is that BigCos destroy the 3rd party apps that they acquire. The same thing happened after Twitter acquired Tweetie.

Indie devs and BigCos have vastly different incentives. Simply acquiring an app won't help, because the app will no longer be developed and managed by an indie dev. Wreckage is inevitable.
1. Download the source code of the framework (one click in IDE)

2. “Find usages” on annotation/annotation properties leads you to init stage, where metamodel is usually built

3. “Find usages” on metamodel classes leads you to the implementation of the behavior defined by annotation

4. Run your code with the breakpoint inside the annotated code. Check the stack trace at the breakpoint, look at the methods and fields of the framework classes in it to validate your understanding of how it works from step 3.

The RetentionPolicy.SOURCE annotations are handled by an annotation processor at compile time, so it is a bit different, but the general idea is the same.
Try tildes.net. It's better than Hacker News even, in the sense that "Ask HN" is mostly a failure in that the vast majority of "Ask HN" questions go unanswered but I see people asking questions there and getting answers whereas here it is all too often crickets.
Yes! I made a little edit just to make it clear I'm not trying to dismiss the hard work, and even though it's a really hard space to compete in, someone has to try or there will never be alternatives.
That's almost entirely down to how they are raised. And as with anything, a few examples do not make for a trend.

There are lots of people in this world who have grown up wealthy and aren't anything close to the spoiled brat you are describing.

> The last time I was in Kiev I witnessed a drunk man urinating in public - at noon - on a center street. Everyone treated this like it was a perfectly normal occurrence.

If this shocks you, you might want to avoid visiting San Francisco. I hate pulling out this tired trope, but it felt actually appropriate here.
Looks like an interesting model, I’d love to try it out. But signup on mobile didn’t have auto suggest for my password manager (1pass), and I’m not going to separately create a username/password in 1P and then copy it over.

Maybe passkeys? Or better mobile support? Sorry to add on to comments from a few others — it does seem like an interesting model! Similar to FloatPlane, Patreon, etc. but in reverse.
Looks cool and I appreciate the different model.

FYI - you mentioned letting free accounts post for now but that doesn't seem to work.
I'm at Google working on it. We're making progress, but the only people who are using it in production for real are the Koreans. Their national COVID contact tracing system used FHE to keep location data private. I think it was Cryptolab that did the engineering? (I should really have a canned reference but I don't)
edit: you said "free", but this isn't technically free

For me, going through the llama book (Learning Perl) and actually doing the exercises was great. I would think I got it after reading the chapter, but when I went to do the exercise, I realized I had to look up the info again. Putting it into practice was great for internalizing the information. I can't believe there's an 8th edition now (from 2021!). I must have used the 2nd edition (1997) at the most, so I'm assuming it's still good.

Since you know sed/awk, you're going to see where a lot of the ideas came from.
when you dont rely on advertiser support you arent beholden to their desires of moderation

when a sub-forum crosses a threshold of insensitivity, just remove it from search and let those fans direct link

sub forums can remain popularity contests where community decides if anything there is a good fit. theyre already echo chambers and nobody is aiming to solve that so just run it that way
Having grown up around a bunch of ultra-wealthy kids the thing that is being grappled with is that knowing you will never have to do anything from a young age is corrosive to most (but not all) children.

It's noticeably distinct from the feeling of "you can never truly fail" which is more common with the upper middle class and seems be significantly better for your long-term mental health.

I don't think this means you need to actually not leave your children gobs of money, but in my experience it certainly helps to act like you're not for the duration of your kids' childhood.
What you're missing is "branding" in general.

Branding has almost transcended physical products. Apple Computers and Apple Corps were allowed to exist in the same markets because computers are not music. However, the now Apple Inc is more than computers. It's software, phones, tablets, chip manufacturing, streaming, etc.

No, no one is going to confuse a dog toy with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. Just like no one would confuse a magnet, shirt, pin, or a plethora of merchandise with actual Jack Daniel's whiskey.

But the Brown-Forman Corporation licenses the likeness of the label and bottle to make all of those items and more. The logotype, the shape of the bottle, the colors, all serve to remind people of the core product. They want to evoke a certain feeling associated with that brand. And if a product with their branding is made to a poor standard, if a chew toy is made with material harmful to dogs, there is a chance that people will assume that Brown-Forman is responsible.

And they may want to actually make a Jack Daniel's themed chew toy. Or license their IP to someone to do it for them.

So basically, since brands aren't really tied to a singular product any more, the entire idea of "separate domains" is rendered effectively moot at this point.

Also, IP is the larger term. It encompasses trademark law, copyright, trade secrets, and others. Trademark is actually fairly strict, "fair use" doesn't apply, and parody is not a protection
Requiring a login to see anything at all is too much friction for this kind of thing. (Or at least I couldn't find a link that let to content from the main page without logging in.)

The UI is nice though. Minimal dead space in the comments.
Interesting!

The page numbers seem important, in the sense that the sudden removal of a bunch of pages from a contract ought to be easy to detect. But maybe your co-workers were so fundamentally honest that they couldn’t think of the duplicitous applications there.
No. Just a form of setting namespaces. Nothing it's virtualized.
Some things you probably didn’t realise about the design of the PlayStation
Some things you probably didn’t realise about the design of the original Sony PlayStation:

- it was inspired by Apple’s Macintosh Plus

- the colour is grey with a hint of violet to counteract plastic ageing/yellowing

- Sony acquired the PlayStation name from Yamaha

- it led to the VAIO range of PCs

Bonus fact:

- VAIO was originally an acronym for Video Audio Input Output

You might've selected a higher verification level than you need, if not, you may be able to get an attorney/CPA to confirm existence. I vaguely recall needing to do something similar for domain verification and the verifier had a template for use.
People attach a lot of value to fake internet points, so these bad behaviours are already incentivised.

What will be interesting is how they are incentivised differently. Different people attach different relative value to fake internet points and less-fake currency points, so you'll get different behaviour from different sets of people.
Using the # anchor in the url as the subreddit/tag/category etc is really clever!
When we (darklang.com) were working with Rescript, I was not optimistic about Melange's approach, but in retrospect I think it has legs.

The challenge with ReScript is that the authors really were focusing on the JS ecosystem, and didn't care at all about OCaml. Their fusion with the ReasonML community didn't make a whole lot of sense. ReScript is a much better language now that it has split than it was then, if you look solely through the lens of a better JS.

But, as Elm and other compiled-to-JS languages have learned, Typescript has gotten good enough that other languages might not be sufficiently better than TS to attract enough interest to have a vibrant community. Doubly so since the JS-interop story isn't nearly as good in ReScript as it is in Typescript (though it's much much better than in Elm).

However, the aim of writing programs in OCaml which compile to nice JS and also native OCaml, and allowing both client and server to be written in OCaml, remains valid and interesting (and I would argue was held back by js_of_ocaml, the pre-existing way to do it). So I think there is something interesting here, though it isn't a ReScript competitor except tangentially.

Though I cannot really understand where ReasonML (a JS-like syntax for OCaml) fits into this - if the target is OCaml devs, than surely the ReasonML syntax stuff is not valuable anymore?
> Few in the legal world actually use cryptographic signatures for signing things. It's vastly more common to use scanned hand signatures or just /s/ and an e-mail record of sign off.

More and more people in the legal world want to move away from scanned signatures, faxes and other "legacy" elements. Managing paper (and keeping it safe for the time you legally have to store it) is a massive expense for companies. Fires or thefts at vaults are rare but they do happen (not to mention natural disasters like floods), and you don't want to be affected by a breach that ruins stuff as, say, real estate deeds simply because of the headache that entails to get them replaced.

In contrast to that, a digital deed can be replaced very fast, no matter if the company or the government loses their data center to a disaster.

> It's pretty uncommon for there to be a dispute about the fact of signature, and even if there is, cryptographic signature solutions don't necessarily solve it.

Oh there absolutely is. Particularly in America, where all you need to create a bank account and a line of credit is the name of a person, their SSN and some other details that have long since been leaked to some dark web forum and a forged signature.

With a requirement for a digital signature, a criminal would additionally have to phish their target's digital signature as well - either by convincing the target to make the digital signature or by stealing it via a RAT. Yes, that's possible, but the human element adds a significant cost increase as the criminal now needs a callcenter somewhere in India, Turkey or other places known for being a scammer heaven.
