The fact that it feels like something at all could simply be a description of what it's like for these correlations to arise inside a complex system. It's not a rebuttal, it's just a restatement of the position.
Yes. It would be like trying to harvest energy from vibrating sound waves, whilst using a sensitive microphone that requires orders of energy more to function.

With sound waves you could use a really super thin piece of metal that vibrates to sound itself, in which you could harvest sound energy. But gravitational waves? I don't know how easy that would be.

Maybe a super long and rigid cable, positioned thousands of kilometers apart that bends ever so slightly to changes in their anchors.... though I'm sure any energy harvested from that would have gravitational waves as their least contributing factor.
Is this new?

Apologies for misunderstanding your comment, then
Oh man I had no idea there was a project keeping pebbles alive. The rebble project looks great. Very impressed by the documentation on their site.
All of that? That's so complicated. Maybe we can add something more versatile. Something like:

.my-button {
padding: 1em;
goto: my-button-colors;
}

html {
label: my-button-colors;
background: white;
color: black;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
html {
label: my-button-colors;
background: black;
color: white;
}
}

The most specific label will be jumped to. Labels follow the usual specificity rules (also including `!important`). Jumps to an invalid label are no-ops. Styles within a ruleset are evaluated top-to-bottom. Labels propagate to children.

Of course the above example is silly. We also need to make sure we don't apply button styles to the `html` element. We can do that with a protective conditional goto using custom properties (aka variables). We can also make use of variables to implement returns:

.my-button {
--end: none;
--next: my-button-colors;
label: return;
goto: var(--next);

padding: 1em;
}

html {
--end: end;
label: end; /* Jump here to end a ruleset immediately. */
}

html {
label: my-button-colors;
goto: var(--end);

background: white;
color: black;

--next: none;
goto: return;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
html {
label: my-button-colors;
goto: var(--end);

background: black;
color: white;

--next: none;
goto: return;
}
}
Perhaps not everyone knows what AUTOSAR is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUTOSAR. Think: automotive brake controllers, that type of shit. It is safety critical.

My point isn't that the rules apply universally, it's that something found to be a good practice in a safety critical industry is flagrantly discarded in another, without good reason. Literal state machines in the preprocessor. Metaprogramming in C. But because it is generated code, it is "ok."
People are living longer and healthier and more independantly, which means they want to stay in their city homes in their 60s - 80s. What do you want to do, put them in warehouses? Plus there is a lot of immigration, but we need that.

There is an ongoing process of densification, it can be faster but it can't be done too quickly, it's not fair to blot out people's views or destroy neighbourhoods or destroy every remnant of past eras.

With these dynamics it's no surprise that city housing is so expensive, and I don't think it comes down to one factor like interest rates or greedy people, so that billboard is just political pandering. What would your attention-getting measure ask for?

I get the impression a lot of people are complaining they can't afford a family home basically in a prime-ish city location. Can't blame them for wanting that, but an option could be to move outside the cities. Properties are quite affordable, and there are some good transit corridors and decent towns (and advantages of living in the country), though better commuting options will always be welcome.

This is what I've done, an hour outside a city, I'm on a forested acre with a lake, with beautiful views year-round. I'm far from house poor so I can afford to travel all winter or do overnights in any city.

To enable this, I would push for better commuting, with more hubs and extended service so it's super easy to get to downtowns. But resolving scarcity of talent in the trades would also be key.
Not everyone lives in the US, buddy
I think this advice is a little vague and therefore easy to get wrong.

My approach converged to something that can be understood as a form of progressive enhancement, so basically providing the simplest usable version of a given feature, bearing in mind that eventually you'll have to expand it to what was originally requested - but that's all in separate tickets.

Some examples:

Six different payment processors? Start with one or two.

SPA frontend? Start with server-rendered. The tech is there to smoothly transition from one to the other, but it's possible that this will never be required.

That colour picker shaped like a peacock, following the mouse with its gaze? Just use a regular colour picker, but make it easily swappable. Where's that in the requirements anyway?

What's interesting is that more often than not enhancements lose priority in favour of new features.

Meanwhile some universal techniques like preferring pure functions where reasonable, using immutable data structures and actually having an architecture take as much time as doing sloppy work and go a long way into ensuring maintainability.
Maybe they came to the conclusion that if the gods are watching from the sky they can't see them. People would appear smaller than the ants. So if they want to contact gods they have to send huge massages that can be viewed from the sky. That really makes more sense than sacrificing virgin ants and hoping sky gods to see them.
I suppose I joined the strikers yesterday.

FWIW, I follow a handful of low-traffic tags and post quite a few of the answers there. And I close bad questions and delete bad answers. ("Bad questions" means ones that are far from good, "qood" means that other people can google that kind of question in the future, find this question and get a good answer to their problems.)

Yesterday a couple arrived that I didn't handle. I answered an off-topic yes/no question with "yes". Because what's the point. If I can't delete GPT's plausible-looking spew, what's the point in spending effort on other noise? Sigh.
> At the end of the day, most code is deleted anyway.

The timescale for that really depend on the project. I'm digging in git history from ~2013 every few weeks, in an app which definitely runs and handles lots of transactions today. That code is not getting deleted any time soon and any explanations about the reasons in the PRs are extremely helpful. Understandability is great in this case.
Yeah same here, almost the entire landing page that I can see on my monitor is immediately just Disney+ advertising.

Ask HN: Best Resources and Books for a Soon-to-Be-Dad?
Hello Hacker News community!

I've recently received the great news that I'm about to become a father. While this is an exciting time, it is also a little bit daunting. I'm turning to this community because I trust in the wisdom and diverse experiences you all can provide.

I'm looking for any recommendations on books, blogs, online resources, or other materials that could help prepare me for this new chapter of my life. I'm particularly interested in resources that touch on:

* Basic care for newborns (feeding, sleep patterns, etc.)
* Understanding developmental stages and what to expect as my child grows.
* Tips for supporting my partner during the pregnancy and postpartum periods.
* Navigating work-life balance as a new parent in the tech industry.
* Practical advice on creating a safe and stimulating environment for cognitive development.
* Any resources that discuss modern and effective parenting styles.
* Furthermore, if you've personally experienced lessons or tips that no book could teach, I would greatly appreciate if you could share them here as well.

I'm also aware that there is no single "correct" way to parent, and every child and situation is unique, but I'm hoping to equip myself with as much knowledge as I can to be the best dad possible.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions, experiences, and insights!

Thank you.

Since most governments went WFH, application processes for everything have, in my experience, gone to insane lengths. I don’t think the government union culture and WFH mixed well.
That is 100% false.

I pay less tax in Switzerland, including health insurance (which is paid privately, not via taxes or by employer), than I did in the UK, and get much better service.

(Conversely I pay more for a bank account and get worse service. But it's negligible compared to taxes of course.)
In my experience, ISPs DNS servers are slower compared to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, especially for "complex" lookups where there are as many as 6 CNAMEs in the DNS chain.

Also, they often run a single instance of bind, with little to no load-balancing.

That's called extortion....
I agree. From his site it appears he's a "coach" that some executive hires to hold an all hands team building exercise that the rank-and-file completely dread. No thanks.
I'm not entirely convinced that youtube is actually worth $7 a month. Ofc, I'm also far away from saying it is worth nothing, but not gonna pay 7USD unless I'm getting something extra (I mean content, maybe movies???) than just no ads. Otherwise once blocked will switch to other platforms, eg. https://d.tube/, vimeo, etc...

HTTP/2 supports request multiplexing so you don’t need multiple connections or queuing to fetch multiple resources.

The bigger issue is that a lot of requests are dependent on previous requests so all the latency adds up. E.g. when you fetch Reddit, it only downloads the JavaScript and then fetches the post content. The move away from server rendering of webpages has really made things slower.

> I thought this might provide a utility for generating random numbers, but sadly it's just a benchmarking suite with no additional command-line options:

I had the same experience with the tkinter ones - I thought they might be like zenity, a way to build simple UI elements from the command line. But they mostly just show simple non-configurable test widgets. The colour chooser could be helpful though.
Apple hasn’t supported Nvidia for years. Those people already switched a long time ago. Apple silicon is rather competitive with AMD, especially with all that unified RAM.
After spelunking into the dialer source code a bit, it seems the important stuff related to receiving and initiating calls are already handled by android's TelecomManager and the dialer only provides interface for users to interact with TelecomManager.

I haven't really dig into Messages source code these days, but a few years ago I was making an app that can send MMS messages and it was insane how much heavy lifting a messaging apps have to do in order to send MMS reliably on any carrier. Losing the default Message app might be a big blow considering so many 3rd party message app still can't do MMS right (at least the last time I checked). For example, people are still posting MMS issues on the github repo for SimpleMobileTools app you mentioned.
If that's the message then it seems to miss the motivation for being fully bootstrapped, which (as I see it) is owning a profitable company without outside interests dictating what you do. Given a choice between owning a $X company outright, and owning 10% of a $X*100 company, if both could pay me enough salary to be comfortable then I'd take outright ownership every time. I don't need to be a billionaire, I just need to be free to do my thing.
There’s that and also credit cards are usually paid, a monthly or yearly, so not everyone has them. Pix is free so penetration is much higher.

The degree of fraud with credit cards is huge in Brazil, so for us it wouldn’t bring about trust in a legal setting: someone could’ve just cloned your card and signed a document in your stead, without you ever knowing. Pix has the added benefit that the person needs to physically hold the phone, input the bank passcode and/or biometrics, in order to pay it.
Care to mention one or two? All the ones I’ve seen have been dismissed as ORMs by ORM-haters.
`python3 -m http.server --help` - its really not that complex.
USB-C displays only use the connector, the traffic then goes over alternate mode, mostly DisplayPort. For 4k@60, unless both devices support DP 1.4, then both USB3 pairs are used for DP and there's no wiring left for USB3, only for USB2.

It is almost the reverse of TB1/TB2, when a mini-DisplayPort connector was used to negotiate TB.

Yeah what we have today is not capitalism, at least by Adam Smith's standard, and definitely not the capitalism that was practiced between the end of WW2 and Reagan.

This is not an honest comparison.

Cars are inherently dangerous; to the people inside, people outside, and to infrastructure and buildings around them. The faster they go the more dangerous they are. They drive on publically funded infrastructure in a public setting.

Sure. But somehow I'm not so confident about that...
Pogroms did occur but they were not the norm for the society. Al-Andalusia is notable for periods of tolerance between its diverse strata.

The point I was conveying in my previous comment was that they are not equal and the same. We have much evidence that the Christian kingdoms in Iberia were much more brutal to the inhabitants of Al-Andalus. Partly this had to do with the dogmatism of the Christian kingdoms which refused to allow other beliefs to settle once things like the Spanish Inquisition really set into motion.

It is disingenuous to claim they are the same. The Muslim empires extended relatively much tolerance to their Christian minorities, as part of doctrine also, compared to the reverse in a Christian dominated realm at the time.

The jizya taxes were a way for minority religions to obtain protection under Dhimmi status, which enabled them practice of their religion. Compare this to how the Christian Kingdoms in Iberia after completing their “Reconquista” began forced conversions and even new converts were treated with suspicion to the point they were forced to perform litmus tests like drinking alcohol and pork, which both Jews and Muslims do not eat. In fact, religious rulings were issued specially for the remaining Muslims in Iberia which allowed them to outwardly confirm to Christian faith under duress [1] while still practicing their own religion.

The fall of Constantinople was limited to three days of looting, which was lenient considering the prominence of obtaining the capital of old Roman Empire. Additionally, the nature of slavery within the Ottoman Empire slaves were an answer to dealing with prisoners of war instead of massacre or mass rape & were not forcibly converted except in case of the later Devsirme system which gave rise to the Janissaries.

Issue is not just housing. Our health services and infra is crumbling. 401 near Yonge st is jammed nearly 24 hours (yes!!!). We literally have no more space for cars. We have switch to the 407 for as much travel as we can (and it is crazy expensive and silly given how much tax I pay as a techie).

The ERs in GTA are just always clogged. I've had to deal with multiple instances of 10+ hour waits in the ER. When they were not addressed in time, one such incident got worse, and ended up in a 10 day serious hospital stay (love the logic on that one).

Getting an appointment with any sort of specialist is also a gauntlet.

I'm an immigrant and it was surreal hearing the new Toronto mayor talk about how much she accomplished as an immigrant to Canada. It was indeed possible when she and I came to this country. It is a fantasy today. GTA has become a terrible place to live in a very short time period.

Apple is focused on gaming, however only in what concerns their mobile devices, and for that, the current hardware is good enough for cross-device development.
Actually, the Mac Pro’s biggest problem is the iPhone. Or rather, Apple’s one-trick-pony design of their quote unquote "desktop class" SoC to be just the iPhone SoC, but a little bigger, with the only scale options being multiples of the same chip, with everything soldered on the SoC, and then some thickheadedness on “we didn’t design the architecture with external GPUs in mind”. Apple is already getting beaten by performance-oriented traditional CPU systems, and soon, other vendors will optimize for battery life as well. And Apple will still be stuck with an iPhone chip in all their computers.

But that’s OK, because it seems they are pushing their desktop OS in the direction of a phone OS too, both in capability and lockdown, so it might all be good.
I was very very positively surprised by the Amazon smartwatches, I brought a amazfit GTS 2 Mini Fitness Watch, and it fulfill the main points of the article, it was very cheap also (65€). The app is nice, not perfect but does the job at tracking steps, the GPS is accurate, heart, stress levels, sleep, etc.. Perfect synch with the phone, I receive the phone notifications, good waterproofing and the battery last something like 6-7 days.

The oled screen simulates a classical watch, so it's not hybrid, but for me it doesn't matter that much, I barely notice.

The app could be better integrated with other fitness app, but it works with the ones I use.

This is irrelevant. 99.9% of content is garbage and / or not relevant to me. Also, I really don't watch that much so why should I be paying ~8 EUR a month to watch a few videos without ads? Moreover, I don't earn that much, so even that amount is a noticeable loss.
Not for the GPS fix. Now, location is done both with GPS and with WiFi/Cell indeed.

Semis aren't typically driving down suburbia or in left lanes on highways.

Great examples! We may have been doing it, but didn't have a name for it. More names is useful because when people say "prototype" or "PoC" they can mean many things.
Those are both massive cars. Under a ton is more typical and reasonable.
I tend to replace most instances of Enum.map with filters. Filters are also easier to read than quite a few instances of Enum.filter or Enum.into, too!

Outside of things like generating a game board, or some other well structured n-dimensional struct, I generally avoid nesting them, though. I’ll use Enum on the outer function(s) and filter for the inner one.
