> not an average or a number any significant fraction of users would be hitting any significant fraction of the time

Mhm and no major third party reddit app is going anywhere near that with their 500 requests per day per user.

> An app aggregating many users, if reasonably efficient, would be expected to have an average per-user rate over time much much lower than the single-user, single-moment absolute limit.

The per user rate of these apps is 500 a day, which is reasonably efficient. Your point of them being "grossly inefficient" is just false.
nothing new

and it's not a p2p non transactional payment system. it's a system for tipping for digital goods, or donating to digital goods producers. that's the distinction you lost in your generalization.
I'm reading this thread and am, again, surprised by the fact of people changing editors willy nilly.

Based on reading discussions on HN over the last decade or so, it seems that a lot of people on HN don't choose editors because it's the best tool for the job, but because of the same factors that affect the fashion world: Flash, style, color, trend, posturing, and peer pressure.

I've banged out code on everything from a green-screen Wyse terminal to Panic's Nova, and there's nothing better for reducing productivity than changing and reconfiguring your tools in the middle of a project.
While this xkcd is frequently germane, in this case it is not particularly apt. The core CRuby team, who maintain the current “standard”, are in agreement that YARP — the new “standard” — will one day replace it.
Do you recommended test for this purpose?
Every time I've ever gone to gamestop I've left disappointed. They should start selling raspberry pi, drones and electronic gadgets ...like reinvent radio shack...
A) this source is hilarious

B) I can’t believe everyone in this thread so far is talking about the actual company, and not what this means for the “I am 100% sure GameStop will make me a billionaire” cult!

That is by far the most interesting thing to me about this dying brick-and-mortar. There are god knows how many people on that subreddit convinced that GameStop is poised to become the new Amazon. It’s almost enough to get me to cross the reddit picket line out of curiosity…
Unabomber Victims Reflect on Kaczynski’s Death

What tosh, pay rises lag inflation, even the toy CPI numbers that the government prefer.
Is this "losing the capability" real or just a piece of nostalgia? Young people won't know how to use a rotary phone, is this something to miss today? Is this something to not be able to learn if needed?

Otherwise when you say "navigator" I remember back in the day I was handling the city map exactly like Google Maps reorients it when you take turns, and figuring out the correct lanes by comparing the next-next map turn with the lane signs... not an easy task but fun.
How does one place ads on PlaceIQ? This doesn't seem like an ad-platform.

I'm not disputing a data broker sells data; I'm claiming that ad-platforms don't.
Tesla Reintroduces Radar in HW4
I'm sure that had far more to do with the threats he was shouting at the other passengers than his social status
Not the person you responded to, but I probably kill an octave or matlab terminal daily. Oops, it turns out this matrix is too big to solve directly. Oops, norm2 takes forever and norm1 would have been good enough.
It's a very Ayn Rand-ish piece. I like this quote:

"There is this very, very old puzzle/observation in economics about the lawyer who spends an hour volunteering at the soup kitchen, instead of working an extra hour and donating the money to hire someone to work for five hours at the soup kitchen."

Of course, in that simple quote nothing is included about how much the Lawyer is enjoying the work, what value she gets from it in other ways than that expressed directly in money. So it may still be a "rational" exchange.

Atlas Shrugged changed my relationship with money, also changed my self esteem. As someone brought up in a, what I can only call, overly social way, a very christian way (self-sacrifice is holy etc), rational self-interest is liberating. And indeed I find it more ethical.

Us westerners in Christian based societies somehow always like to say that money is the root of all evil, but I feel that that stance (at the very least) doesn't take into account what the alternative is to money, and what money has enabled for us.

This quote sums it up for me:

"The act of donating money is not the momentary act of writing the check, it is the act of every hour you spent to earn the money to write that check—just as though you worked at the charity itself in your professional capacity, at maximum, grownup efficiency."

(Edit, I know, I shouldn't say this, I apologize Dang, I deserve the downvotes, but this is one of those posts that generates a lot of replies and I see it going up and down in karma. It's somehow "engaging". Mentioning Ayn Rand does that every time.)
Add Nnaisense (https://nnaisense.com/) maybe to the list.
It's the inverse of the "boy crying wolf" - if they mark a vulnerability low and it ends up being the next log4shell, they look really bad and the organization may be effectively over.

But if they rank everything "7+" then they have plausible deniability.

So everything will be ranked 7-10. Meaning 1-6 are useless.
A simple life hack is to keep your GPS in "North Up" mode. You can follow directions while still maintaining spatial awareness. I started doing this many years ago after a particularly egregious routing error sent me an hour in the wrong direction.
Because the efficient market hypothesis really only makes sense under a bunch of other assumptions; rational actors, perfect information, and parity between buyers and sellers.

Most markets that are important to you do not adhere to these constraints.

Can Duruk is thinking out loud
Please for the love of god do not decide for me where I want to be.

I signed up, confirmed my email, opened the app and was browsing through it and was on settings tab when I got a phone call. During that call I had to look up something so I opened a new tab. After the call I went back to resend's UI to watch it blink and all of the sudden I'm on the dashboard again.

So I tested it, I went to the settings page again, switch to a different tab and then back to Resend again just to watch it switch back.

There is absolutely ZERO reason for this functionality. It is not a better UX, it's an annoying UX you do not know what I am doing or where I want to be on your website.
Murex is an abstraction on top of POSIX rather than a replacement for POSIX and coreutils et al. Which means Murex works with all your existing CLI tools without you having to worry altering your muscle memory.

If people are already using and like Powershell then I'd recommend they stick with Powershell. But if anyone is using Bash, Zsh or Fish (for example) but longed for something a little more intuitive (fewer footguns, smarter handling of structural data, etc) then Murex is a good option.

It's also worth noting that I've modelled the interactive shell on IDEs rather than readline. So the UX in Murex is, in my biased opinion, one of the best out there. However I'm always open to feedback on anything that can be improved in that department. Or in fact, anything regarding the shell.
India like Europe but not like China didn’t create its own operating system, social network or browser because it accepted American monopolies into its markets.
I love the idea. Reddit was the best of the social media platforms. That it's open source, means we can help fix these things. I'd love to help.
4chan isn't a village, though, not in the way the author describes. Important characteristics of a "village" as defined in this piece are that you can develop systems of trust through reputation (by interacting with the same people over time) which leads to incentivizing pro-social behavior (there are consequences for acting like a jerk).

The author is specifically talking about places where you go to interact with people who share your interests and _aren't_ jerks.
I would say the trick here is the convincing of the other tribe to see your civil liberties as something to attack. OP has a valid point, but completely undermined it by only describing the blue team's culture war dogma, while leaving out that of the red team (eg religious fundamentalism).
Native Philadelphian here.

(1) You need to memorize the order of the streets (... Vine, Race, Arch, Market, Chestnut, Walnut, Locust, Spruce, Pine, ...), which is mildly annoying but you just have to do it once. A complication - there are multiple series of streets, for example that series continues ... Lombard, South, Bainbridge ... east of the Schuylkill but ... Osage, Larchwood, Cedar, ... west of it.

(DC's solution to this is good although boring - the streets are lettered.)

(2) you can usually look at the street addresses to tell which way you're going, since they increase heading away from Market Street (north/south) or Front Street (west).
I feel very craft every time I do some sand casting, or maybe etch a two sided PCB. But compared to an EUV lithography system these crafts are like banging rocks together.

It is incredible that humans designed and operate systems of this complexity.
Well, according to a quick search there are 40k wet markets in China. How big do you think the average wet market is? Even guessing 1000 square meters, which is very conservative, the wuhan wet market only represents about 0.1% of wet market square footage in China. By this back of the envelope math, the chance that a zoonotic spillover at a wet market would occur so close to the lab is less than 0.1%.

And sure, the wuhan market is a great place for a zoonotic spillover to occur, but any wet market would be, so the wuhan market in particular isn't the exact place you would expect. In fact I would expect it to occur at a market much closer to where the most similar viruses were found.

However, since the wuhan market is the enormous unsanitary market near the novel coronavirus lab, it is the exact place I would expect the first super spreader event to occur following a leak at that lab.
Palantir is politically involved enough that I don't think we can raise any hackles about PRC that don't apply equally in practice to USA.
That's all very well but if your service is a search engine that you can't exclude bad results on then it doesn't matter how private it is. The search engine is kaput. Nicest way I can put that.
0.79AU and 0.46AU would be the normal way to write it.
You might want to check community centres. They typically have all sorts of short term classes and activities taking place. They involve lots of new people in the neighborhood, incorporate a wide range of ages, and it's a casual environment where people are mostly trying to get out of the house to socialize or stay active.

Another option is board game groups and cafes. You can easily drop in or sign up to take part, they encourage conversation as you play games or discuss rules, and the players will change all the time so there are always new people to meet.

It's easy to progress from the above environments to going out for drinks or having people over for dinner if you find connections and good conversation.
(Disclaimer: Shopify employee but not part of this team) Ruby is my favorite language so far to write "business logic" in, and Rails is a very developer friendly web framework that makes it very easy to set up websites. So I think this is a pretty great strategy overall. The end of the day I think the way to get tech too scale, is for companies / academics / etc to really just put the work in. Java was very slow on release, but now the JVM is blazingly fast, and that is because of the huge amount of work put in by Sun, Oracle, IBM, Redhat, Google, Azul, etc. over the years.

For what its worth though, we do also have Go, Rust, Scala, etc. in different places in our stack where its needed.
That's not summoning. That's just people being there already who agree with you...
There's a scene in the movie 'Flash of Genius'. The movie tells the story of a guy who invents the mechanism for intermittent windshield wipers and has the design stolen from him by Detroit auto makers.

In a court scene the main character is on the stand, and he reads the first few words from 'A Tale of Two Cities' and asks the lawyer for the other side if Dickens had invented any of those individual words.

That always stuck with me; it's the configuration of over-the-counter parts or ideas that makes something novel. Sometimes articles explain ideas with a twist, a different order or a different interpretation, and furthermore, when you yourself reconfigure a set of ideas under the shower or in a comment section, you should realise that you're doing worthwhile creative work.

I see the two ironies here: I might be explaining things that you already knew, and this comment will probably be skimmed over (as the article puts it) as another pull of the slot machine. :-)

You again. K. No, I don't use the site anymore. I've established that. If you're going to say that I've never used the site, I've also established that I have. More drivel from you. Thanks for replying absolute joke replies to multiple posts of mine. I love that your your username is your name and you post this trash defending CP.
Exactly. I'd go as far to say that attention on government and Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon is a (deliberate?) distraction from the shitty apps, internet service providers, and mobile phone companies selling all the data they can collect. If John Q Public knew that their visit history to adult websites was for sale, they would drop the service and demand legislation immediately.
Because that would make sense.

Or the slightly longer version of how HubSpot is sort of our CRM system but also a front end for our on-prem Sharepoint and our Microsoft CRM and a couple of other things. It can send some emails, but not all emails, and when it does send emails someone wants them tracked not just by HubSpot but also by SendGrid because that’s how we track mails in parts of the business. Why do we have both HubSpot and Microsoft CRM you ask, well you are, one department really likes one of them and another department really likes the other.

Using sway here (it's like dwm; a bit "simpler" than i3). I only use my mouse for browsing or using vscode. It's definitely easier because:

- windows take the whole screen by default

- you can easily switch by workspaces (ALT-1,2,3,...)

Basically, tiling WM are great IMHO
we are building something like that but the images are sadly static per story page and it has no psychological analysis. I've been interested in adding pupil dilation as a measure of cognitive load as a signal on one of the things you read but i think customers would find it too creepy.
I think the confusion is coming from the framing of "Email API for Developers Using React" as the title for this post. React has nothing to do with "an email API" as far as I can see.

Your web-site is more clear in that it shows a Node.js snippet (and other environments, although funnily not just in the browser?). Then the site goes on to talk about the React components.

Perhaps "Email API for Developers, with React components" would resolve the issue. The title as it stands suggests I wouldn't be interested in this at all since I'm not using React. But actually, as an e-mail API, I would be (e.g. with a Hugo site).
The whole point on an AU is we don't need to know an exact number. Using human relatable measurements means the numbers get mind numbingly big, fast. Even though the average human doesn't know the exact distance from the earth to the sun in meters and/or feet, they can get a rough sense of "the distance from the earth to the sun". also, at what exact moment are you taking that exact distance in meters/feet? the orbit is not exactly circular, so that radius measurement isn't the same all the time.

nor does the average person know the exact radius/diameter of the earth, jupiter, or the sun, but we often see references to the earth is a fraction of jupiter and that the sun is some large number of jupiters.
Topical tweet from 2018:

Bombings, public shootings, etc., too. In some cases, they even furnished the assailants with their weapons and encouraged them to refine their plans and follow through on them.

Tags are superior because tags can model hierarchies, but hierarchies cannot model tags. There are far too many times when a single document crosses multiople categories that are served by tags. I used Outlook for 15+ years and thought tags were a joke, then moved to GSuite for 13 years and learned to use tags, now I"m back on outlook and I feel like I'm suffocating without them. That's two decades of experience with both systems. Not to make a fallacy / whizzing contest out of this, but how long have you tried both systems? I'm guessing not as long.

I think what you are missing from this discussion is that both renewables and nuclear require dispatchable power to fill the gaps. If storage is "impossible" then a nuclear grid is impossible unless you overbuild it leading to costs multiples higher than Ukrainian war gas crisis costs.

The problem is that renewables and nuclear are economically incompatible, like the article goes into depths about. Renewables easily win this battle as the cost for new built renewables are in the same range as operations and maintenance for paid off nuclear plants.

For nuclear this inflexibility comes from pure economics. It is economic suicide to build a new plant and operate it at 100%, now try operating it at less than 50% on average.

Generally, the research available see no issues building 100% renewable grids, so I do not know why you keep hampering on about it being impossible?

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9837910
That's an evolving situation, and a plain reading of the 4th amendment makes this whole process look not compatible.
So what? Why take risks? Merely to say “look I took a risk and it paid off”? I get that risk-taking can result in wealth, fame, etc. but (and I think this is where opinions like OP’s break down for a lot of people) a lot of people struggle to get through the “sleepwalking” life - going to college, finding an apartment, getting your first car, etc. can be huge risks if you lack some generational wealth to back you up in case things go sideways. I mean, hell, most Americans have like $500 in their bank account. Going to the grocery store is a life-or-death (or eternal medically induced poverty) is right around the corner.

And I guess that leads me to what I really turn my nose up at OP’s line of reasoning. Sure, he can move to Thailand and become whatever kind of journo-grifter. I have a wife and kids! I can’t/don’t want to blow it up just to say “I took a risk” and leave them destitute. Which maybe that’s all to say there’s a big difference between gambling with someone else’s money and gambling with your own.
Which is why we have laws against collusion and consolidation into monopolies.

These aren't reasons to abandon markets, but simply to ensure they're properly managed as they are across the world.
I always imagine them as being a lot like Ron from GTA5.

Show HN: Duolingo English Test practice with instant scoring and feedback
Hey HN community!

Arno for Duolingo is a platform that helps people prepare for the Duolingo English Test. We provide unlimited practice problems with instant scoring and feedback (powered by GPT4). We currently have practice questions for every question type.

It's also currently free! We want to get users and learn how to make it better :)

We built Arno because there is a clear lack of solutions to help prepare for the DET. The official practice test provided by Duolingo only gives you one, inaccurate overall score. It doesn’t tell you how you did on each section, nor can you practice individual sections. The result is that people have no clue whether they’re ready to spend the money to take the real exam.

On our roadmap are:

1. A practice test that gives you accurate estimated scores, for the test overall and each section
2. A personalized learning plan that tracks your progress and recommends different sets of practice questions each day
3. Identifying areas for improvement across answers (for example, you tend to misuse a certain word)

The DET is great because it is much cheaper and more convenient than tests like TOEFL and IELTS. Our goal with Arno is to make the DET even more accessible and help people do well on it so that they can win scholarships, study abroad, and take advantage of opportunities to advance themselves.

Please give it a try and let us know what you think! If you know anyone who is planning to take the DET, we would greatly appreciate it if you could let them know about Arno :)

Based on your name, it seems those are great examples of selection bias. If you were a divorce lawyer that primarily worked with men, I'm sure you'd have more examples of the other side.
Guy on right was spending all his time talking down renewables with the standard talking points.

The other two were far more realistic with the guy in the center particularly calling out the most egregious nonsense from the man on the right as not being connected to reality.
Still awaiting the retail release of that 75w PCIe card with out-of-box PyTorch support. If it can run, say StableDiffusion / LAAMA and family, many more use cases shall emerge.

Obviously retail price will have to be competitive with Gaming Cards.

My 2 cents.
