I always find it interesting how hostile some (many?) peoples take on source code can be. Rather than give benefit of doubt, they attack. But even if it is some stupid code, some late-night, tired-brain, foggy-flu-delirium .. so what?

I get it, don't run a project if you see some bad code and question the quality of the project. Quality that very well could, and likely will, impact you. From bugs to performance. Don't run it, of course. But to attack it, seemingly with such personal zeal.. can people not improve?

I dunno, i guess i just don't feel the software we write on average is actually good. We make compromises and mistakes constantly. Our house is the purist of glass and many of us are just chucking stones like there's no tomorrow.

Lets take a step back. Breathe. Point out flaws by all means, but maybe reduce the often apparent revelry in someone else's mistake.

... sorry for the high horse rant. I'm nursing coffee and i've just seen it a lot with Lemmy/Kbin recently. Also this isn't pointed at anyone here directly.. just a pattern i feel i frequently see.
"If you were a goldfish, would you rather live in an ocean, or a garden pond? Probably the pond."

Definitely the pond, they're freshwater fish.
Please, I'm literally just saying it wasn't a good comparison.
I expected something more interesting, to be honest.

For example, to be wary of obligations like being on-call, because if you're sick or need a vacation, no one is there to do them.

Or to avoid overengineering tech, because you're the only user and you can fix quirks as needed.

Or to learn to outsource things if it lets you focus on what matters.

I don't know, anything that makes me feel like I wasn't tricked into hearing about what's promoted at the end of the page.
I was wondering about that. This banging the rescue teams have been picking up, can sonar or whatever they're using pick it up clearly enough to decode a message? Would they even know what to send?
That’s not what the article says. You’re being dismissive.

I run a one-person business and its advice is spot on.
I perceive their main point could be made with a single focus on the 3rd option you suggest. Other options might fall out of their aim?

Google Blocking Hurricane Electric Tunneled IPv6 /64s
Seems that Google is blocking HE.net tunneled IPv6 /64 subnets, the one you get by default when you set up a tunnel. The linked tweet suggests, and testing this morning confirms, that it's the /64 subnets being blocked, and that if you have a routed /48, the /48 is fine.
Yeah, I feel like these are the key examples missing from the post. It's clear when you read that story that they're onto something, and it requires a niche and a little gusto.
Instantiation does contain a short story (The Gateway) about a space anomaly which, IIRC, had some Didicosm-like properties, like lack of mirroring.

The Netherlands has struggled to commercialize a safe psychedelic.

LSD is not so dangerous per se if you are in good hands. It does leave you discombobulated for 12 hours or so and put somebody into a strange and sketchy city like Amsterdam and some of them will get into trouble. Mushrooms are a little better because the duration is shorter but they still didn't find the problems acceptable. They tried the stimulating and hallucinatory 2C-T2 which is somehow entirely non-cosmic but I think even that failed market testing.

After all these years a pastor I know is providing psilocybin therapy for the terminally ill which they are doing in a tightly controlled

Tim Ferriss is very good at downplaying the effort and costs that go into businesses. Good for inspiring people to try, bad for actually being transparent.

In this example, the (claimed) $200 production cost and $2.10 DVD cost are probably nothing relative to this large marketing cost:

The marketing costs and effort are conveniently omitted.
I am not at all in the boonies and Amazon rarely or never gives shipping options other than to delay shipment for “Prime day”.

I didn’t say that. IMHO it’s as silly as those saying that it can’t fail and it will revolutionize the world because it’s Apple.

> The specifics aren't known

apps and real world use cases will probably matter much more than the specs. I highly doubt gen 1 will be that successful or that Apple expects it to be though. It seems much more like a developer preview than the end product.

Corporations are made up from people and many of those who developed their most successful products initially are no longer there
I use this hack to turn mouse movements into scroll movements with Hammerspoon. It's one of the first things I need on a fresh install of MacOS.

https://github.com/reinier/dotfiles/blob/main/hammerspoon/er...

It let's you hold down the right click key and use your mouse to scroll any x/y direction.

Original source for this hack is offline, but Internet Archive to the rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20200808000102/https://savouryti...

BTW I use Figma all the time, I have never any issues scrolling with this hack.
DPReview finds a buyer, avoids shutdown by Amazon
Hahaha, so EU service providers can't protect their website using Google reCAPTCHA because it'd likely need user's consent and they're not allowed to restrict their offering in case a user doesn't consent. So, bots simply deny consent and send the form without captcha :'-D

Did I get that right?

That's nuts.
Personal experience with addiction doesn’t generalize to everyone. Yes more exposure is more likely to result in addiction, but it’s not a simple easy to predict calculation.

I have had something like 5 cigarettes in my life and still get occasional cravings 20 years later. Meanwhile alcohol has almost zero draw for me while I know people that are the opposite enjoying a few cigarettes a year but have a serious alcohol addiction.
Reading through the comments, the oddest thing to me is that practically no one talked about the question of comfort. I live and come from northern europe, so like most people and households here we take off our shoes. I guess it's mainly because the weather is shit here half the year but a big part is also that it's just awesome to remove your shoes at home!
My favorite book on the subject: Legalize This!: The Case for Decriminalizing Drugs by Douglas Husak

The author argues that all drugs should be decriminalized. The TL;DR argument: going to jail is the worst thing the state does to a person so it needs to have an explanation of why. No rationalization can be given for the case of putting a person (user or "in possession of a drug") to jail.

https://www.versobooks.com/products/1795-legalize-this

This doesn't argue that doing drugs is a good idea, but we certainly, as a society, should not put people to jail (or even give fines for that matter).
I've had to do this lately and apart from the fact that my portable pc can only do 4K at 30Hz it works quite well and gives you LOTS of room for putting HD sized windows aside but that you can glance as needed. Does anyone have the same experience ?
How Cloud Providers Do Business
Reminds me of a talk about ZFS performance, where they presented some benchmark results showing that as the number of concurrent clints doing pure sequential IO increases, the more the load appears as random IO to the filesystem.

So with high enough concurrent load it's effectively all random IO and that's the primary thing worth optimizing for.
The real flaw here in my mind is the lack of comments :D

If this was a carefully observed decision, one that is prone to looking odd, it deserves an explanation for future selves to not chase the rabbit of understanding.
I agree they can be improved. But they are not one-time activity. It should be a continuous process in order to really be efficient. Also every on-call person needs to be diligent about it. Otherwise, it aggregates in future.

Again, I am talking about the teams who are heavily loaded with alerts and incidences during on-call. In general, all these pain points very much vary depending on the on-call load. We also have a teams who do manage all of these easily as their on-call load is quite manageable. But solving for them in one place so that everyone from the team is on the same would be amazing.
>I don't care about your US fetish or complex

I was trying to explain things to you respectfully, and using the US was an easy way to exemplify an extreme, and you go straight to the throat with bullshit accusations. Lovely. Cheers mate!
Possibly a big mistake to make this post, but I've written my own code of conduct template, which I use on my projects (mostly since snyk, github and similar scanners rank you down if you don't have it).

https://github.com/ltworf/international_code_of_conduct/blob...
It's the difference between paying to have a public school system, and paying to send people's kids wherever they like. It's not necessarily hypocrisy to be OK with the former (wanting to live in a society that has public schools available to all, and being willing to pay for that) and not OK with the latter.
You are mixing up stuff to fit your scenario.
OQTF stories are up to police incompetence, not lax imposed by the governement.
Culturally left-leaning if very bold given the recent pension reform debacle, bypassing any democratic recourse.
Also very bold statement given the police repression of mosts of the protests.

There is nothing Macron that is left leaning, relative to France politic spectrum.
It is absurd to believe there is no danger of over regulation from government that a company would need to push back on.

I guess you just take news headlines at face value though.
I've come around to the idea that codes of conduct are generally sensible. In business we write contracts to explicitly state expectations, and it seems fair enough that socially we could be explicit about our values.

That said, it is true that there are malicious actors who weaponise codes of conduct.

I wonder if there's an equivalent to vexatious litigation in the CoC space. Perhaps there ought to be some means to punish CoC abuse, and to ensure that the accuser has some skin in the game.

Although, perhaps that has more serious ramifications also. I'm not sure. Seems like a hard problem.
it's not just cheaper, its eminently more reactive.

your human recruiter is going to have their own biases, could be tired, may not know how to deal with personality X or Y, they may not learn.

the bots can track how they do by upvote, react quickly, won't get tired or annoyed, and can use existing data to filter and target those who are extremely vulnerable.

hell, with real-time analysis by data mining companies (cough cough FB, reddit) they could even figure out if/when a normally stable-ish person is in crisis or has a bad week, and hit them at their most susceptible. 99% of the year they might be able to see through the BS, but this week things are hard and what they're seeing in their feed just feels right, for once...

Is there a list of what's currently supported? I see Python/Java/TypeScript listed in the repo.
WebMD seems to get by okay in regards to liability.
why not just use pure typescript + postgres + go/java? all these libraries bloat your app for no good reason
I focus on very small markets with specific needs not met by industry norms.
The problem I see today is that the big box stores are replacing what had previously been regional retail buyers.

The homogenization of big box board rooms needs vs. Regional cultural needs has narrowed the manufacturing focus to the average.
My theory is that just in time manufacturing will move to the "garage stage". The retail price of American high end refrigerators and stoves may not reflect the cost of materials and quality of thought that went into the object.
My plan is to develop a platform of appliances that is more efficient than existing offerings but available in specific sizes. Think of it like ordering custom furniture. The result could be a refrigerator that fits the space exactly using the finish materials of choice.

I have spent too many decades thinking about this but I have finally have my small run manufacturing facility (FabLab) set-up. I think it will be another 2 years before I get a product out the door.

This is an epicenter of the thinking. I personally think they are overcomplicating some aspects. I'm sure at a school of higher learning it needs all times of overthinking.

The most interesting class of communication platform to me is 2/4chan style text/imageboards. Depending on the speed of the board they can feel like near-real-time chat (with copious memes and verbal banter), or a forum (complete with megathreads for beginners on a topic), or something exactly in-between

For information retrieval it's quite terrible. Generally even worse than Discord due to the archives being on random overloaded sites. OTOH it leads to a culture of survival of the fittest ideas ("meme" culture, I suppose), where instead of upvoting a post or image you like, you just repost it. Like a big shared human cache, or like human memory I suppose

The general lack of persistent identity has a profound influence on the culture of course. People tend to focus on the negatives that it brings, but it can also be refreshing to have pure and frank discussions with no ego or profile snooping or cliques. And just generally the feeling of low-stakes casual chatting, rather than remembering at the back of your head that everything will be on the record against your username

Many captchas add friction for some users, but some types don't; there are relatively fast "proof of work" captchas that aren't surfaced to the user at all.
The title of the article implies that Spotify had a plan.

I don't think that's accurate.

Unless their plan was "1. sign Joe Rogan 2. ??? 3. Profit", implying that they had a plan at all is stretching it.

They are a digital music platform, nothing more, and nothing less. They waded into unknown territory, spent a ton of money (that should have been going to artists already on their platform) making a stupid bet that backfired. They did this while having little real revenue outside ads and subscriptions. They angered their primary userbase and alienated content providers. The inevitable blowup was foreseeable.
As-tu essayé italki ? J'utilise ça pour apprendre le japonais.

I suspect the reason the iphone was so popular was execs who weren't allowed to install games (angry birds etc) on their corporate blackberrys due to them being locked down by Corporate IT then got an iphone, then felt they didn't want to carry the blackberry as well, so laid it down to their corporate IT to "make email work on here"

Certainly how it worked at my company.
> I say this as a (begrudging) discord user : I don't know what they (Discord) did right to get communities to lock up all of their community and data into such a hard-to-index walled garden.

Completely anecdotal, but IMHO their app just works and it works well. For instance I used to play an MMO using discord and we had ~72 people in voice chat at any given time and it was flawless (some of our members were 80+ years old, the game I played is 25 years old). Meanwhile at work (I work in IT) it's not uncommon to spend 5 minutes just getting a meeting started, figuring out why the mic isn't working, trying to get someone to mute who isn't, etc.
Gannett sues Google, Alphabet claiming they have a digital advertising monopoly
Where I am, old electric organs are available for very cheap. I got an old Yamaha Electone a couple of years back, that wasn't working anymore. It was great fun to use an Arduino to read the keys and effectively convert it into a MIDI keyboard, and use an old PC with organ simulation software.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the space to keep it, and had to get rid of it eventually. Some day I if I have more space, I might do that again.
I’ve seen one, a couple of days after the Apple keynote, sitting in the cafeteria at work. I’m not sure whether I was more susceptible to noticing it thanks to the AVP.
The Largest and Fastest Religious Shift in America Is Well Underway
I have done this as well and completely disagree with the advice. The key to success as an entrepreneur is to build a product that can be endlessly replicated without too much extra cost. If you have a large company paying you a large amount of money, they expect that your product is built for them and not everyone else. So your job ends up being that of an employee or at best an external consultant. Which may still be valid, sure, but your business is never going to scale in the way you’d like.
That indeed might happen. Also, something else might happen.

Each individual human doesn't know everything that happens, consciousness + culture just makes it look like they do, as demonstrated in numerous comments in this thread, and all other threads, on TV, in conversation, etc. Reality itself is composed of various mirages.
I just learned about the equal earth projection, which was apparently invented very recently in 2023. It’s the best looking equal area projection I’ve seen.

A lot of times the quality of a decision is less important than the decision gets made and a course set. When work begins, the real problems start making themselves apparent and you can change direction. But I've seen so many companies that spend months to years going back and forth trying to ensure they make the Correct Decision. By the time they decide, their competition has made the wrong decision and corrected back to something that achieves what they wanted. I could see how alcohol use, even if it leads to worse overall decisions long term, could kick the project into motion which leads to better results.

Show HN: iOS Safari web push notifications demo
iOS launched web push notifications a month ago with 16.5, but there has been a surprising lack of examples to try out. We built [WebPushTest.com](https://WebPushTest.com) and made the code open source so more web devs can try it out and share it with their coworkers.

It used to be the case that an iPhone app needed to be “native” and downloaded from the App Store to utilize push notifications, but you will see that this is no longer true :)

As long-time HN users, we also included an option to subscribe to a feed of top Hacker News posts delivered to you via push every six hours. It makes it a fun little app instead of a boring demo!

Worth noting that we don't track any personal info (random UUIDs for user IDs, so not even device IDs).
yeah but what's the lesson?

they may tell everyone to piss off and still maintain profitability, or even increase it, since the advertisers like what's happening and the people who are angry aren't angry enough to offset profits.

2030 B-school lesson is: fuck the user, get paid, c.r.e.a.m.
But if you speak up you're a pedo… I wrote on a debian mailing list a while ago, when they wanted to sign against rms.

I think it can be true that prohibition against many drugs was more harmful than the drugs themselves, while also being true that opiates are so dangerous that they elude that rule of thumb. Cannabis is certainly far less dangerous than Nicotine, Caffeine, or Alcohol (or even acetaminophen), and many substances have enough potential benefit that they should likewise be readily available for at least some uses (psilocybin or MDMA for therapeutic use). Opiates on the other hand are perhaps appropriately hard to obtain.

And even then, addiction is likely indicative of larger problems in a person's life, and the problems are getting worse so prohibition doesn't seem to be helping anyway.
Mildly interesting then I got to then end and saw the "come back next week for my premium on article on WHY" and couldn't help feeling this was basically just a content mill article full of factoids trying to get you to give some random guy on the internet money.

Either that or a pathway to some Evil Conspiracy XD
>Since the post-2000 opioid epidemic and the proliferation of Fentanyl it seems the danger has increased.

People don't really want fentanyl of unknown purity.

They want their heroin. Fentanyl proliferation is an artifact of prohibition.
Right, and the IRS does choose, for either budgetary or laziness reasons, to target people less likely to lawyer up.
I was reminded of the “display expert” who wrote a long piece explaining that Apple had to be lying about the original iPad’s battery life.
How many legit hardware companies have tried a headset lately? Sony, and theirs is apparently really ergonomic, just tied to gaming. Other than that, not many.

The trend I see is software companies like Facebook, Valve, and Microsoft over-estimating their odds of success at making hardware devices.
>But people watch 720p content all the time!

I'll do you one better. My nephew was going to a summer camp that didn't allow the kids to bring phones or tablets. He was allowed to bring an MP3 player, tho. So I downscaled a copy of Into the Spiderverse to 432x240 (his iPod Nano's native resolution). I left the bitrate quite high (1600kps) and it looks absolutely great. Even stretched out on a full sized ipad, it's completely watchable.
