It's arguable Microsoft started the whole flat design trend with their Metro UI starting with Windows Media Center and the Zune. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

Windows Snap is a feature basically every Linux desktop cloned about 1 week after Microsoft showed it off during the reveal of Windows 7. MacOS has about 10,000 apps to do the same thing but poorly.

I still think nobody has made a better tablet interface than Windows 8.
Even with CCS1 the US was out of sync with "the rest of the world", which uses a few different connectors.

And in the end it doesn't really matter. I'm not driving my car across the ocean very often. Import processes already tend to make taking a car from one continent to the other a huge hassle, so to the vast majority of people its probably easier to just sell the car in one place and buy another on the other shore.
The margins were inflated during the pandemic, though. Musk even called their prices "embarrassingly expensive".

I took a standard DNP fat loss dose, the effects (weight loss and others) are vastly overstated. You'd have to take well in excess of any recommended dose to get to the point where the waste heat production would become dangerous. You're more likely to develop a cataract as a deleterious effect.

I'd wager most of my weight loss came from the fact that I just wasn't eating because I felt awful.
There is a charging station in Beijing with over 600 stalls. Yes, we might need more charging stations than gas pumps. But since a charging station + infrastructure is a lot cheaper than a gas pump + infrastructure, what's the big deal?
> Why not just create a lemmy account and try it out?

I did, twice. It took at least half an hour between bugs and scanning HN for answers to questions I was repeatedly told I shouldn’t be asking. (Like, how do I choose a server and what consequences does that decision bring. Questions which, after a defederation and onboarding bug and login bug, seemed quite pertinent.) Then there was minimal content, and to top it off, buttons that spin without doing anything half the time.

I feel like GenAI has become the next "blockchain". Wall Street (or someone else!) is setting some weird expectation for every company to somehow say "we're doing something with GenAI." Doesn't matter what it is they're doing with it, they just have to say the magic word in a press release or blog post.

Apparently, "we're using AI" is a better story than "we're making great products, regardless of the underlying tech."
It might help if you weigh in with more info: exactly what does billboard measure when creating the charts? Radio airplay? Streams? Sales? Some combo?
I completely agree!
What we're trying to build is a solution for other companies (not to build it for our own app) that hits that sweet spot in the middle - i.e. one that allows companies which currently have to make the trade off between the whole shooting match and the axel adapter... where they can build the bits they need to customise and buy the stuff they don't

Do you think a best of both worlds solution would be valuable? (even if not immediately obvious how it could be possible!)

I think it's more likely you're an Apple hater, considering I use Windows and macOS daily (and Linux too I guess if you want to count the EC2s I have to SSH to now and then).
UPDATE 2: My Stripe account is back! Thank you so much! inter.tube will remain online, but open source from now on!

Update: I have reached out to the nice Stripe employee who volunteered their email, let's see what happens.

It's been pointed out a few times that my marketing says the site won't die, and me killing it would be very ironic. This is 100% true, and I have decided to leave the site up even if Stripe decides to ultimately close my account. Luckily, our infrastructure costs are very low (<$5 month currently).

I created this site when Google Play Music went down and lots of people were complaining about Google killing yet another product. I don't want to do the same thing to my users.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to plug a similar service that I am completely unrelated to. I saw its author post on HN and they seem like they are also a one-man-shop: https://asti.ga This service is different in that it lets you hook it up to your own cloud storage. I am only now realizing why this is such a brilliant idea.
Sadly, not only is it legal, but it is incentivized. Financial service providers have enormous civil and criminal liability by tech company standards, and some regulations require them to use "risk-based" approaches to decline service to clients. The legal consequences of shutting out innocent small businesses are essentially nothing compared to the consequences of allowing a single criminal or terrorist to use their service.
Because, legally, you're stealing water from the basin and the basin's down stream users.

You're also not paying for the sewer use if you flush with it (since sewer isn't metered)

Alone is when I'm happiest.

People used to look at me really strangely when I said "I'd been hoping for this since I was fourteen" about the stay home measures during Covid.

I think I'm reasonably fun at parties/events/neighbourhood conversations, and I'll go, have a good time, converse and joke around and whatever, but then I need a couple months to come back from it. I have near zero desire to be with people. It's exhausting.

There are 3 or 4 people in the world that I spend time with that don't make me feel like that. Good thing my wife is usually one of them.
Ok, it's obviously exaggeration. It's a frequent source of annoyance, not hatred.

It is also true that I am a curmudgeon.

I use both macOS and Windows. I think they are both fine operating systems, each has its own annoyances, but I agree with most of the article's points.

> Why didn’t you just move to a different part of SF?

> I wanted to live in a dense, central area and not in a single family house that’s 4 miles from downtown. Also, my neighborhood was perfectly nice when I moved in, and then got bad. What’s to prevent that from happening to other places in the city as well?
Neither of those is in the EU.
As a longtime Mullvad customer, I'll use this. Using any VPN company and its services in this age of surveillance capitalism is always a sketchy affair. Mullvad is the least sketchy of the non-DIY options that I can find.
"Argentum" is "silver" in Latin (thus the chemical symbol Ag). Lots of places and things are named for it, including the country of Argentina.
The article says as such:

> My biggest problem with SF was simply not feeling physically safe while walking down the street or sitting in a train. SF has a pretty low violent crime rate, at least by US standards, so I wasn’t worried about getting shot or robbed or anything like that.

> Instead, the problem was that SF had (and still has today), thousands of people wandering around who are suffering from untreated substance abuse and/or severe mental illness. The vast majority of these folks were completely harmless, but a small percentage were hostile, threatening, and, in some cases, violent.

> In multiple cases over the last few years, I was followed, screamed at, and threatened in broad daylight. Thankfully, nothing physically happened to me, but it’s a really jarring experience to have this happen. Each time I reported these incidents to the police, they never responded. I got the sense that as long as no one was physically harmed, they didn’t really care. Thus, there were no mechanisms in place to control, contain, or treat this behavior.
they need to pay someone to do it or at least have someone do it only as their job description.

Ignoring who is giving this advice and the actual state of the person being given the advice, this is more of a side effect of the poor (for patients) health care system in the US and negative perception of mental issues compared to physical issues.

Untrained people can give bad support, especially to someone who is clinically lonely or depressed.
There is no telling how much money is involved in falling margins if you don't also look at revenues. A quick Google search shows their gross profits look fine.

Also, you would have to compare them to other manufacturers. If profits were down an average of 20% and Tesla's were down 10% then they would be over performing their competitors during a down market.
TFA does, using the Russian name for the SA-16:

"The Vitebsk-25-mounted helicopter was then fired upon by two dozen Russian Igla MANPADS missiles, none of which hit the target."
And this is why EA is such a shitshow. VW was required to spend the money. They weren't required to make it a good charging system. So: poor maintenance, buggy software, and overall an experience that makes everyone who tries to use one hate it.
I won't miss it. It was good for its time but we now have better alternatives for the same purpose.
There's no control images there to tell you how much it actually degraded. The panels might not be uniform when brand new either.
Because at $5 MRR any time Stripe spends on this translates into a loss for them. But it's good PR so they should solve it anyway. Realize that operating a business like Stripe at scale is a lot harder than it may seem to be on the outside.
I remember reading that body builders and models will take this. It basically causes your mitochondria to work less efficiently, and thus burn more calories. Take too much and you will die because your body can't regulate it's temperature. Scary stuff.
Tesla Insurance is a kind of small moat. But I think Tesla is really banking on winning the automotive AI race. They currently don't seem to be winning, but that does appear to be their main gamble. If they can be the first to achieve level 4+ self-driving then they would definitely dominate regardless of charging infrastructure.
> Of course without agriculture we'd all starve to death, so banning farming is no solution.

Banning farming in California isn’t the same as banning farming globally. Across much of the US not only is water plentiful crops get enough rainfall to not actually need irrigation.

And of course banning CA farming is hardly needed, even a 5% drop would free up plenty of water. Cities would be much better off simply buying farmland with water rights and leaving it fallow than implementing severe water conservation methods.

Our guiding principles for Stack Overflow Labs

Find new ways to give technologists more time to create amazing things.
Accuracy is fundamental. That comes from attributed, peer-reviewed sources that provide transparency.
The coding field should be accessible to all, including beginners to advanced users.
Humans should always be included in the application of any new technology.
You're suggesting that some people shouldn't be allowed to work harder than others?
I actually used Microsoft Xenix on 80286 "minis" early in my career.

The 64k limit for the text segment of a compiled C program is likely a large factor in the POSIX shell standard; it seems designed to fit architectures similar to this.

The Korn shell was included in later versions of Xenix, but I understand that the source code was an unmaintainable mess, hence the removal of features in the final standard for the shell language.
The way they work screams that they want bspwm, i3, or sway really.

Lower haight is dense and fewer than 2 miles from downtown. I dont perceive the area OP is describing as one I would expect to be free from drug crime even four years ago, whereas I do have that expectation for this region of SF.
Simplest way to reduce crime statistics is to stop reporting or responding to crimes...
I have an LG.. if you left your nintendo switch paused on a static image it's going to put a screensaver on after a while. It knows the image is static.
It's so weird what gets you banned. I'm a bit shocked by the gay thing though. In my experience they get weirdly defensive of big oppressive institutions. I got banned for a comment railing against the medical community. I don't recall exactly, but it wasn't really that bad.

HackerNews is no better. I've gotten feedback for calling out SV and the nation of Germany... I guess I could have been more "constructive", but what you find is these things are applied selectively.

I don't really agree that you need to be constructive when talking about big institutions; arguably this isn't even a good idea. There's no need to use kid gloves with bigoted nations or billionaires.
Read the article. The author explicitly mentions the list of things they don't like. It's completely fine that you like it. Neither I nor the author are attacking you for liking a feature of macOS. We are both saying there are features we don't like and would like Apple to keep trying for better alternatives. In this sense, I'm using the word "alternatives" to mean people who like the existing interface can continue to use the existing interface, but those of us who do not like it can have an alternate, improved experience.
I lived at the 7th and 8th / Mission block before OP did and it was pretty bad then. What's weird is that there's been a lot of development and modernization in that area (completion of Trinity Place and a nice Whole Foods) yet in 2023 it's still extremely unsafe around there. And the Whole Foods is now leaving.
Is the distinction useful? Like, am I going to lead someone down the wrong path suggesting they write a "script" to solve their problem, instead of a "program"?

At most I feel a script is a kind of program, maybe a short or unsophisticated one. Beyond that, I never think about this.
While I appreciate this approach, what I really want is when I click on an RSS link, the browser detects its an RSS and shows me a dialog telling me its an RSS page and shows a "Copy URL" button. If I click the button (or close the dialog) the browser returns to the page I was on.

Making an RSS file look good for a human is nice, but it isn't for a human to look at.
If anything I am impressed. They are running these at max brightness with static images on screen for 20 hours a day. I would have guessed the burn in would have been way worse.
"dense, central area and not in a single family house that’s 4 miles from downtown."

This is kind of funny to me considering I'd guess for the majority of America, 4 miles is remarkably close.

I lived in San Fran back in 2012 for 6 months. I personally didn't feel unsafe; I'm a big guy and have a physical presence so I understand why others may feel unsafe.

So why did I leave?

There were a few events that really upset me. 1) I almost stepped on a shit snake some human left outside my building. 2) A homeless person stopped in front of a mother and child to urinate. 3) The weather sucked; cold and hot.

I went there for the tech scene, but it was just too dirty for me to want to live there.
I think Israel does a really good job of maximally water efficient agriculture. There's a lot of practical techniques we could learn from them.
I think you'd get used to it if you did it regularly for a while, is my point.
In addition to that, you need to live at least 20 minutes away from the center if you don't want to burn your entire salary on housing and food. It was always expensive to live in the center, but after the recent inflation spike it became even more insane.
Do whatever you think you should. Everyone here is going to have their own regrets and ideals, all of which have no bearing on your life.

> I checked Wikipedia, and no, Julius Caesar wasn't assassinated in Largo Argentina, but in the Curia of Pompey.

The Curia of Pompey is a building, which is in the square now known as Largo Argentina. Since ceaser was assassinated on the steps of the curia facing the square, both are true. That being said, since the curia is long gone, the square is arguably the only thing you can actually see.

Wikipedia seems to back this up.
Most of those things seem to be true. The 3dprinting mod did endorse those 2 alternatives, and they seem to be the mod of one of them, they also seem to be doing a terrible job moderating the instance they created, and the users of r/3dprinting seem to be spamming it because they disagree with how the mod handled things, and I'm guessing the mod didn't get buy-in from the users of the sub before trying to migrate.

I don't think that necessarily makes sub.rehab dodgy, they are accurately communicating alternatives both mod-endorsed and not.

The waste has to be slightly monitored but that's it. The most likely case is that for 100+ years nobody has to do anything to this fuel.

The lots of places where nuclear waste stands around totally unguarded with maybe a small fence. And yet in reality people don't steal gigantic concrete blocks that need spacial transport.

If you are seriously question the argument that digging a huge incredibly complex geological storage is more expensive then a normal storage building then I question your sanity.

Your argument seems to boil down to the typical 'what if highly unrealistic terrorist from a holywood movie set show up'. I prefer to live in the real world, rather then Holywood fantasy land where villains with incredibly dumb and unrealistic plans are a weekly event.
Yeah, I was really into that before there was even a cross-compiler/cross-platform syntax for declaring TLS values in C++ but have since “upgraded” to avoiding TLS altogether where possible. The quality of the implementations vary greatly from compiler and platform to compiler and platform, you run into weird issues with thread_at exit if they’re not primitive types, they run afoul of any fibers/coroutines/etc that have since become extremely prevalent, and a few other things.
"free forever" doesn't imply 100% off-grid or batteries. It could imply that you only charge your car when the sun is shining.
> I understand how the "fediverse" works, it just makes no sense in the context that most consumers want their media in.

There are several different use cases for Reddit. One is low-value media consumption, similar to TikTok and the primary usage of Instagram. /r/aww is that sort of thing. New.reddit and the Reddit app are optimized for this use case, and you're probably right that any friction between the viewer and the next picture of a cat being cute will reduce engagement considerably.

Another is discussion forums around a common interest, often a niche interest. The small fraction of users who post original content and answer difficult questions are a big driver for these kinds of communities. When those kinds of people decide that Reddit is no longer acceptable, communities built there will wither. If those people move to Lemmy, people will put up with a bit of friction to follow them.
I've tried Phind a few times, but my gripe with it, so far, is it gives me outdated examples that don't work because the API has changed. Is there some magic keywords I should be including to prevent that?

Glad to see this as the top comment, completely agree. After reading the article, was thinking that the only real downside of using enum types (but there is one more issue not mentioned, more on that below) is when you need to remove values. In reality, I've found removing enum values to be a very rare occurrence in prod. Removing an enum value fundamentally breaks backwards compatibility, so usually a better option is to essentially deprecate it, which is more like what you recommend.

Note one other thing I have found is that postgres enums are less "portable" than plain text columns. For example, if you're using BigQuery to query postgres tables as an external connection, BQ doesn't support enums, so your external connection query has to cast any enum return values (e.g. some_enum_column::text) before returning them to BQ, which can be a pain if you want to do "SELECT * FROM ..." some table that returns enum columns.

Similarly, Redis uses TCL for unit testing.
Drugs and Homelessness are political problems now. It's been a while since they are treated as health issues, that's why nobody can do anything, it's because like anything in politics it has become a pissing contest between people that are far too removed from the actual problem.
Not OP, but I think the reasoning behind that argument is:
TCL has only one data type: string. Everything you do in TCL is reduced to string manipulations up to having optional function arguments starting with a - like a shell command. A string in TCL is like a list in Lisp, the most fundamental building block.
