As a noob, Hacker News looks like the cooler version of Reddit for techies. What's more to it? How do product launches become successful here?

Do you have some tips beyond the official stuff on the site? Thanks :)
offshoring US to Europe costs about $30/hr, 1/2 time work means many context switches so 1/2 efficiency and it can take a few tries to fight the right person, so if FTE for 6+ months not affordable i am concerned that this is not going to give you the outcome you want (and be painful for both you and the freelancer), recommend trying to find an advisor who has successfully done this before to reduce risk

>Btw, we can conceivable move the earth or keep the sun from going red giant.

I think you are seriously underestimating or misconceptualizing how much energy that would take. Even in a very ideal timeline where we get FTL or near FTL travel technology there is no way conceivable way to do what you are talking about: both moving the earth or engineering the sun.

Just visually look at the size of the sun in comparison to Earth: https://www.universetoday.com/65356/how-many-earths-can-fit-...

And if we COULD (which again, very very unlikely) do those things we simply just wouldn't -- living on earth or in this solar system would be irrelevant.

The medical community also had ethics and treatment rules when asylums where common and they didn't seem to help much.

Even if the doctors themselves are moral, what prevents politicians from putting their thumb on the scale? We are already seeing them override physicians on gender affirming care.

What prevents politicians of finding a small number of immoral doctors who are willing to rubber stamp whatever they want?
I would guess there is varying levels of dirtiness. I think it is reasonable to expect people to clean their hands if they have things like soil or sooth on them. As those are slightly annoying to eat.

On other hand if your hands are relatively clean, I would not expect particular attention put in on cleaning them again.
No it does not, you're lying.

As a firstborn American nerd with 100% German ancestors, it’s basically been frustrating my entire life to watch Germany whiff on basically any computer- or Internet-related technology. I can't even attribute it to the language barrier since they're all taught English at an early age. Perhaps it's that old German pride/hubris/NIH? “Stolz”… They’re a very smart people, not sure what gives. Perhaps a lack of respect for “nerd” aesthetic

If you ever visit Germany, prepare to not be impressed by their Internet access (but possibly impressed by everything else)

Python FastAPI Microservices with Polylith
FastAPI is a good choice for developing Python APIs. It has a modern feel to it, and is easy to learn. When I think about it, I could say the same things about Polylith.

Also if you run out of petrol or diesel far from a station, you can get road services or someone else (yourself?) to haul a couple gallons over and get going.

You can even just pump some out of a passing car if you have a long enough hose and lungs.

Now I've never owned an EV and I suspect there is a way to use one car as a charger for another, in which case the latter becomes less of a point the more EVs are on the road. OTOH I imagine it would still take quite a while longer to get enough charge to drive to the nearest charging point than it does to transfer a little liquid fuel though.
I wonder if his fans keep claiming that he's a genius because they themselves don't want to admit they've been idiots for having been bamboozled.

Reminds me of the Emperor's New Clothes, I re-read it recently, and even though the little kid had said "But the emperor is naked!", actually the emperor continued parading in the nude and all his staff stayed silent and kept up with the charade...

> “But he hasn’t got anything on,” a little child said.

> “Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?” said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, “He hasn’t anything on. A child says he hasn’t anything on.”

> “But he hasn’t got anything on!” the whole town cried out at last.

> The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, “This procession has got to go on.” So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn’t there at all.

> Sabotage varies from highly technical "coup de main" acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially trained operative...

Interesting that the meaning of "coup de main" here is the complete opposite of how it is actually used in French, where it means "helping hand". Used for informal and occasional situations. An example of a "coup de main" is when a friend gives you a few minutes of his time to help you move a heavy piece of furniture.
I'm still processing Don Lancaster's impact on the electronics hobbyist scene of my generation. In fact I was a little young to have been Don's "target audience" but I grew up with these Hayden, SAMS and TAB books that a young-me flipped through. That these books even existed, squirreled away on a shelf in a remote corner of B. Dalton Bookstore, informed me even then that mere mortals could do this stuff — build TV typewriters, computer-controlled robots, communicate wirelessly along a laser beam, etc. Too bad I couldn't afford a $250 6502 processor back then, ha ha.

In fact of late I've begun collecting Don's books (and others of the era) — I suppose because as Kondō Marie says, they spark joy for me.

I would add Forrest M. Mims III as another luminary of that early TTL hobbyist era.

I was considering who our current hobbyist luminaries are and Ben Eater seemed like an obvious choice. But a difficulty I have is that he is still illuminating the 70's ... in a manner.

Limor Fried is another name I came up with — and she is firmly planted in the modern era of microcontrollers, wireless communication, etc. But she's also been eclipsed by (subsumed by?) her business.

Maybe it was in fact the existence of the bookstore and the Radio Shacks of the 1970's that winnowed down the hobbyist leaders to the handful we remember. Today I suppose the helping hands are to be found among the collective contributors across Hackaday, YouTube, etc.

As beautiful as the 70's era was, perhaps we are after all living in a golden age for the electronics hobby. Prices for components were never this low and the wealth of shared knowledge never this broad for the budding hobbyist.
Yes, you would, and I would too. But that's missing the point.

Barring an apocalypse, our present is eternity. I'm always amused when I read science fiction that assumes in the future, Chinese will be the lingua franca, or that we'll have political offices modeled after Ancient Rome, or that there's a world government, or similar nonsense.

To paraphrase O'Brien from 1984: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a crony-capitalist, meme- and outrage-driven society that always seems on the brink of collapse but never actually does collapse – forever."
I don’t think this is quite right with all conferences - I’ve personally found it quite common for these event companies to give talks to “platinum” sponsors as an indirect way of charging for them.

(Although this particular instance sounds like a scam)
Oh absolutely. That work is a gem, I've used it for quite some research. Good idea to refer to this, too!
Personally, I don't see how that changes things. Even minority cops work in a systemically flawed system.

It's a UK bank with a Lithuanian subsidiary. Which is fine, but means you don't have a German account number, nor an easy way to sue/contact if legal problems arise. The latter is rather unlikely to be a concern, but the former might be a pain to deal with, depending on your customers. A lot of companies have rules which require double-checking every transfer to non-German accounts. Suddenly, your payments take a few weeks longer to arrive.
So we're talking about people who live in an apartment, yet far from work or in place with bad public transport so they need a long drive to work? I'm not going to claim people like that don't exist, but is it a common use case?

For me, I have paid charging station right in front of my building, because the electric company recently added charging to all local substations. But for myself I would probably charge the car at free charging places in one of the nearby grocery stores, I usually stop there like once a week anyway. We're also trying to get our employer to enable charging in the office garage, but it's dragging a bit. The larger shopping mall I visit with friends for cinema also has free charging for customers.

It's not that many places, and people in countryside or suburbia who can charge EVs with free electricity from solar panels have it easier, but since people in who live apartments are probably covered by public transport or can bike or whatever, and as such don't really need to drive ever day, I'm not convinced charging EVs is not solved problem right now. We'll see how it scales up.
One thing for people coming from Linux.

If you decide to put everything in one large partition (not really recommended), always make sure /usr/local is on its own partition. If you do not do that, some ports will core dump. If you use one big partition, you will need to disable an important security feature to allow the ports to run.

What is the use case for valgrind vs memory sanitizer?
Yes, absolutely. That's what I wanted to imply with training.

One thing is knowledge. Other thing is to get that knowledge transferred into, f.e. movement for use of a machine.

Like a real example, the Chinese. They're developing such a phenomenal ability to visually memorize things since their childhood on.
As students, whole books are memorized. But ask them to utilize that knowledge, they just can't. They haven't learned how to utilize knowledge practically, in contrast to the western worlds approach to school. But we here have a bad visual memorization.

So you take a Chinese Teen, who finished the college purely the Chinese way and put him in one of western world's universities. You'll get an absolute killer.

Gaining knowledge the western way, memorize in Chinese visual way.

The decision you talking about needs to be done in every situation of a daily life. The quality of decision depends on the knowledge. The knowledge by itself needs to be broad. You need to be able to access each part of the broad knowledge individually and bring everything in relation. That's only can be done with training. And the use case defines the knowledge needed

The norm at tech conferences is to waive conference fees. For certain types of speakers (industry analysts, headliners for keynotes, other people that conferences want that can't afford to pay their own way), it's normal to cover some expenses and pay them to a greater or lesser degree. I have never in decades literally paid to speak at a conference. (Sponsoring companies may of course have a sponsor package that includes some stage time for an employee among other benefits like booth space.)

But directly paying to be a speaker? Absolutely not normal.
> So we're talking about people who live in an apartment, yet far from work or in place with bad public transport so they need a long drive to work?

No, we're not. We're talking about electric cars. I mean, come on. It's not even ten replies above: "Who says you need to charge it in 10 minutes? Plug it in overnight or while you're in the office and suddenly this becomes a lot less of an issue."

> For me, I have paid charging station right in front of my building, because the electric company recently added charging to all local substations. But for myself I would probably charge the car at free charging places in one of the nearby grocery stores

I live in a suburb of 50 000 people, we have about twenty charging stations in total.

> but since people in who live apartments are probably covered by public transport or can bike or whatever, and as such don't really need to drive ever day, I'm not convinced charging EVs is not solved problem right now.

So, the question of how I would charge my EV still remains.

As long as online advertising is a primary source of revenue for many companies, the internet is going to increasingly have less degrees of freedoms.

This is what I think a lot people don't understand when it comes to unruly IT systems in large organizations. Deutsche Bank does not have an IT or software engineering problem, they have a culture and corporate politics problem. Even if you have the world's best engineered systems, as soon as you have 30 different systems you'll have a giant mess, and the reason you have 30 different systems is because you have groups of people with different incentives not interested in using someone else's system.

Create a group (distribution list, alias, whatever it's called in your mail server), preferably multiple groups foreach client, eg: pasta.zara.alerts.monitoring@giuliomagnifico.com etc

That way you would see which instance generated the alert even if you didn't configured the custom alert message,

you can filter all these messages (to tag, move to folders or whatever) simply by filtering on *alerts.monitoring@,

and if for some reason you depart with the client in not so amicable ways then you can simply kill all the mails from it by a rule with $To:.

From the point of view of the employer it's stupid not to put all your eggs in one basket. For $10 a month per account, you get email (unless you have thousands of accounts, this is already worth it), instant messages and a softphone solution, office tools that you needed to buy anyway, and centralized user management for it all. All alternatives involve either still contracting it out to a probably les competent team, or hosting it in house at significant cost. On top of that, the day it all crashes down and burns their business to the ground, insurance pays out because it was cretified and wasn't an in-house solution that the insurer can point at and drag you to court with.

This has vastly less to do with the cost than the level of care they have to be prepared to provide. I get that people really want to beat the medical cost horse, but it’s sometimes helpful to understand it, first. People use the ED as a PCP across the spectrum because they don’t know better, because they can’t find other options, and sometimes because they don’t have other options - and all of those things tend to cost the hospital, state or insurer vastly more than the patient.

Further, tacking on “serious chronic mental disorders” is basically a non-sequitur and could’ve been replaced with “diabetes” or “broken legs” or “tooth pain”.
