There is no way for a leak to happen without implosion. At 400 atmospheres a hairline crack is total destruction in less than a second.
There's simply no way for that to be economically viable.

That's the whole point of reddit; for various reasons they convinced people to give them fuckloads of free labor.

Reddit brilliantly acted like "king" giving fiefdoms out to mods and pretending like it was "theirs." "Here, dear mod! Here is some internet land to rule mostly as you see fit."

Well...the king demanded a huge tithe, a good portion of the lords told the king his mother was a hamster and his father smelled like elderberries....and the king is now laying down the law and making it very clear who everything actually belongs to.

The problem is: without any lords, the king has no power, because he can't possibly administer all the fiefdoms himself...and right now, a lot of the peasants really fucking hate the king, and like the lords.

Right now spez is trying to scare mods straight and reward those who toe the line by redistributing fiefdoms to them.

Your last paragraph is just objectively wrong.

People here are commenting how it's wrong for long drives, so I'll chip in with how it's wrong for a short drive too.

South bay to Sacramento in a Chevy bolt. I can drive 55mph and do the round trip on one full battery charge. Or I can drive 75mph and save so much time that it more than makes up for the necessary mid trip charge up in Davis on the return.

At a minimum he glossed over the multimodal capabilities of GPT-4. If they use the same set of tokens, it’s unclear how this doesn’t pollute text training data. If they use separate tokens, the model size should be bigger.
It doesn't always matter. But sometimes it does. A great deal in fact.

Language, culture, verifiability (even on the level of being able to do a standard background check), payroll, legalities. And all the other reasons they aren't always keen to use offshore people, even if it seems "cheaper". And did I mention language, culture?

The different countries payroll can be handled by a decent SaaS itself.

Throwing a different payroll system into the mix for the the sake of 1 or 2 resources can easily end up being more trouble than it's worth.

India is the new China.

As China's economy grows, wages have also gone up which makes manufacturer there more expensive. India, having a similar workforce size, hasn't seen wages increase as much as seen in China. Making it an obvious choice to start moving manufacturing to the country. We already seen this with Apple, and more companies will follow. India also has better relations with the US than China.
AI Analyst: Your Laziness-Friendly Excel Replacement
SFML 2.5's lack of ARM64 support and 64-bit Android libraries were a massive pain, so I'm glad 2.6.0 resolves them.

Mostly though, I didn't enjoy using SFML as much as SDL, even with no C experience. A C++ game project I contributed to switched from SFML to SDL, and while SFML's API is more batteries-included in places (particularly input and rendering), it's a tradeoff. If you want more control over how rendering works, or want more flexibility in input, SDL is better. You can get 80% of the way faster with SFML, but the last 20% you wind up fighting more with SFML than the problems you're trying to solve. SDL tries to do less and stays more out of the way in the process.

Multi-monitor support, a significant feature request for the project I worked on, was very difficult or just outright unsupported in SFML. Non-HID hardware interface support (DMX, MIDI) was a requirement and SFML got in the way more than it helped. SFML 2.4 in particular was very painful, with some significant input bugs or designed limitations that the switch to SDL made much easier to improve. Stuff like GL blend modes and render textures never really worked on SFML and Android devices, and kept breaking on macOS, all of which went away with SDL; touchscreen devices and SFML were hacky to work with, but they were a requirement for the project.

SFML didn't really have the resources or community to try to fix problems with platforms or devices the further you get from PC targets. API docs were often incomplete with terse examples, making it harder to learn how the APIs were designed to interact with each other unless you go spelunking in their forums. It was often easier to fork SFML and fix bugs our project was blocked on and build SFML ourselves than to try to use the libs as packaged or wait for patches to be accepted upstream.

SFML also has some steeper competition now — Godot is obvious, but Raylib scratches a similar itch.

IANAL. This isn't just your personal opinion. In Common Law jurisdictions, see also: negligence, false advertising, deception, fraud, and misrepresentation. Civil Law jurisdictions have concepts that are comparable.
Geez, look in the rear view mirror when approaching the passing zone. Let them by, then speed up.
Most of the things you list there are not necessarily tied to WFH but to failures implementing it.
Other I don't know where you get them from, like "Unending distractions"; that's specifically one thing I love about WFH, since I don't have the constant bustle and noise of the office.
Then there other points that are universal like "Lack of access to equipment and tools necessary to complete job effectively". Sure, if workers doesn't have access to equipment and tools necessary, they cannot work - how is that different from a worker in the office that has lack of access to equipment and tools necessary?

> WFH can breed all of the nasty "snake pit" attitudes and behaviors a lot more easily when everyone (or even someone) is remote and therefore less interconnected.

That's not how social conflicts arise.

It seems to me that there's no evident connection between the points you list and your - in my opinion - quite premature and unjustified conclusion that "WFH failed".
Although Lua patterns are quite elegant and, in my opinion, more readable than normal regex. Despite having a small string library, Lua still works for many use cases.

I would, on the other hand, leave the CPU as it is, and welcome any change to battery life. That's the only factor preventing me from using one as a daily driver.
And it makes easy things hard.

All the time arguments and size parameters and rules about depth and boolean syntax and the print0 for pipeline integration ... it makes me long for DOS interfaces from the 80s. There has to be a way to do it with less intellectual lifting every time.

Maybe just a simple set of bash reads will help - that's how I do ssh port forwarding - I was tired of getting confused.

Integration with /etc/mime would be nice as well so I can just search for, say, "image" or "video". (This would be at the frontend in this (currently) fictional helper script)
> If someone does not want to stay alive, why should they have to remain living?

As a person who'd have taken the option were it given to me in the past - because it's a cop-out for already negligent healthcare and welfare systems that don't make more than a token effort to genuinely help anyone struggling.

There's already overwhelming pressure on chronically ill people to just shut up, "stop pretending" that something's wrong with them, and just take their psych pills.

I'm sure nobody would say the same things out loud about assisted suicide but you'd just know the expectation that you'll do whatever it takes to not be a burden anymore is there. It's ALREADY one of the top reasons for suicide. Now imagine if society straight up sanctioned it.

Linen is significantly cheaper than Slack

$10/month for up to 100 users compared to Slack's $7.25/user/month.

What it really comes down to is integrations. For a team to consider Linen, they'd have to get their Jira tickets in there, bitbucket/github hooks etc. as well as external integration with Okta/azure SSO etc. That will make or break Linen, more so than being indexable. Because if you want indexed content, you're likely working on an open source project or are open which means without revenues, and so you won't be willing to pay much.

I'm glad an alternative to Slack, cheaper, with open search is available.

Is this something US specific?

I lived those years (in Europe) as a teenager and I definitely remind people, including elders, teachers, etc, encouraging me to learn programming and computers. At worst there were a ton of them considering the career a dead end (big mistake), but nobody ever considered that dangerous. But I might have just got lucky with whom I met.
> some might temporarily have better rates but they inevitably need to get back in line with everyone else or go bankrupt.

That how “perfect” competition works. All of them are forced to maximize efficiency and minimize prices because they have no way to differentiate themselves. I would not necessarily trust all public monopolies to do the same.

I would not describe the EU as my “backyard”.
Even for simple programming questions, its trustworthiness is absolutely near zero. It doesn't mean that the correct answer rate is near zero - it's actually not that bad, but it's absolutely not trustworthy as it often outputs correct-sounding total nonsense.

If it outputted "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that" for every single question, you could consider it 100% trustworthy, even though it would be useless. As it is right now, you can expect it to output correct answers with some confidence, but you absolutely can't trust that a given answer is correct until verified (you should in fact outright assume that it's not until proven otherwise).
Ask HN: Is it feasible to launch crowdfunding for a dog shelter in Central Asia?
I live in one of the countries in Central Asia. It break my heart to admit that, but unfortunately very few people care about animals here. There are shockingly plenty of cases of violence and sadism towards dogs and cats.

Luckily, there are a few shelters that really do whatever is possible to save animals from dying.

The sad thing is that the shelters, and the one I'm volunteering in, do not have any support except for private donations. I personally donate on a regular basis to cover the debt for the food and products. In general, on average the shelter only gets $80-100 which is obviously not enough to feed thousands of dogs on a regular basis.

If you have such experience, is there a feasible way to collect international donations? If so, what would you recommend?
I bought CD storage boxes, like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EFJY3U/, and then used both the lid and the box to put paperbacks in. Stored alphabetically, spine up. I then stuck those in cupboards.

It is amazing how much more efficient this is for paperbacks than a regular bookshelf!

And that reduced my problem down to one which a regular bookshelf could handle, albeit with some creative packing into the bookshelf.

Have you been living there? I always wonder why people have this idea of Asian women as submissive and expats being exploitative in SEA. Perhaps there are some old guys with questionable morals, but in my experience, neither Asian women are submissive, and most of the people I met (late 20s and early 30s) were normal individuals (both men and women) doing their own thing. This could be my bias, as I'm part of that age range. Anyway, I feel these generalisations are dangerous, e.g. "Obviously there may be exceptional cases where people marry for "love," but usually, it's for financial security". Does this statement not apply to any specific part of the world? If you are married, would your wife be with you only for financial reasons? Then why do you think so poorly about Asians in general.
Maybe. But it has terrible optics.
Just add a line. It's only 2 miles.
>Back in 90s if you could build a PC everyone just assumed you could hack their accounts.

Where? Maybe in rich western countries (US?). Growing up in Eastern Europe in the '90's, everyone from 9 years old to mid thirties was more or less proficient with building PCs and operating them since we couldn't afford buying locked down gaming consoles, DVD players and legitimate digital content of the time, so PCs were the only platform to support all forms of digital entertainment (pirated of course), alongside doing productivity work, but it was never associated with being a "hacker" who could cause harm, since it was such common knowledge and everyone was doing it.

None of what he is saying applies to me.
Yes, it’s not hard to use “it’s a bit like X” or it’s “kind of like Y” when giving a simplified explanation or using an analogy. Even young kids can understand that. And I’ve never understood why people would make something up if they don’t know something - in fact, it’s a good learning opportunity in two ways - first, it’s good to show you’re not embarrassed or ashamed by not knowing something, and secondly it’s a good exercise to encourage the child to try and think of ideas together of what might be the explanation.

(That said, if you are good at switching demeanour to make it obvious to them that you're not serious, kids do often enjoy the absurd and ridiculous, so it can be fun to 'lie' to kids in that way by offering increasingly absurd explanations. But care must be taken to ensure they know you're not actually trying to mislead them!)

I understand this is more tailored at communities and such (being the Business plan the last in the tier), but for Linen to be a Slack alternative we'd need App integrations (Google Calendar, Jira, etc) as well as other features such as to send scheduled messages, snooze/bookmark incoming messages for later, a strong channel administration/management, and a few other features that increase productivity and we can't live without.

As I said, businesses are probably not the main target customers for Linen so it's completely understandable, I would've loved it though. Great work!

As you say, these kinds of questions are not ‘settled’ so it’s somewhat up to personal opinion. I think the best policy is to enforce rules only when there are obvious benefits. In the same way that theories should be simple, regulations should be too: “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler”

I’m not a hard line libertarian, I think regulations are good in many cases. But not in the case of high risk adventuring. If you want to climb Everest, visit the titanic or the stratosphere, then that’s up to you: the state need not hold your hand, the risks are obvious to anyone with eyes.

The fact that libertarians have a difficult time just goes to show how close minded and dogmatic universities are. If all flavours of opinions were respected enough for discussion then I think you would end up with less extremists online and in general.

I think the demarcation problem applies just as well to politics as to science. What is good policy? Impossible to know absolutely, so we must rely on heuristics, judgement and intuition. Claims to truly objective knowledge just don’t hold up. Regulators often fail, and in many cases no regulation is preferable. I can’t prove that, but critics can’t prove otherwise, so we discuss and learn and change our opinions as we go.

The Grenfell tower is good example of failure of regulation. And I think the fundamental problem _is_ over regulation. When regulations become bloated beyond the capacity to enforce them, most of them are ignored and the most obvious ones are the only ones enforced. If the regulation was simpler it would be easier to enforce because you would only focus on _critical_ aspects. Instead of simplifying, people campaign for more regulation, forgetting second order effects that make things less safe.

What antonovs tries to say that larger, older companies will tend to have a collection of modules/components that over the years have been relatively well tested and hardened. While a system may be cobbled together with the metaphorical duct tape, at least the components are sane-ish themselves.

Look at e.g. Kubernetes. You can cobble something together on kubernetes and once you get it limping, the system will be running surprisingly well for being cobbled together, compared to e.g. a system cobbled together from one off bash scripts.
Horrifying. Absolutely barbaric that we cannot house people, and that some more fortunate people would rather that the poor die.

I'm not exactly sure where I stand on limiting an individual's choice to end their life. But we should care about why they feel life is not worth living. If there is a problem that could be solved, we should try to solve the problem.

For end-users, the category is "chat apps". I grant the point, though, that these days there may not be any difference between the two.

> It's become chic to yell about the good old days when it didn't take your editor a few seconds to startup, and I agree, but I think this lament actually requires an answer 1) in the form of code, 2) in a language everyone can learn 3) that runs on everything.

While I ordinarily agree with this sentiment, the big pitch about this particular product is performance.

From the landing page, this is literally the first bullet point listed:

> Linen is 1000x more lightweight than alternatives. This means that we load faster, use less bandwidth and are more responsive

In this respect, I think that using 500MB on the 3MB transfer benchmark
contradicts the 1000x more lightweight claim. I've never seen Slack or similar need even 10x as much RAM as the benchmark results.

Last I used Slack, it was using around 1GB of RAM in daily and active use.

At any rate, these are the things that get funded by VCs? It seems to me that the world is not crying out for a slightly more lightweight Slack alternative.

Some demand? Sure, for free tiers and low-cost tiers ... but how do they expect to monetise those free and low-cost users? The free tiers are usually subsidised by the enterprise tiers.
And how close is Go to Limbo?
People take issue with the controller thing because it is in the intersection of what common hackernews readers know/understand and related to this situation.

So the conclusion could be that if the controller is a bad / cheap, everything else is also similar, hence the reason for this situation.

But from what I can tell, the pressure vessel + multiple levels of redundant safeties for surfacing all seem pretty well-done. The fact that the CEO and sub designer is down there tells me this wasn't some entirely sloppy cost-cutting solution they hobbled together.

Also, one of the "passengers" they call "Mr Titanic" is also down there - so not a clueless person looking for an adrenaline rush as some other comment mentioned.

These people understand the risks first-hand and have deemed it acceptable to go on it - game controller or not.
