But what if their backend blocks you? I'm trying to develop a instagram scraper and I find that I'll have to spend money on rotating proxies.

It doesn't matter if you scrape the DOM or get some Json.

I just need to scrape some public account posts and, I may be dumb, but I dunno how to do that with the official APIs (developers.facebook is hard to understand for me).
Very cool. Would love to GoldenEye 007
Not really: if Mona Lisa went on sale, I am sure all the prospective buyers learned about such an event despite having just one possible seller. The information propagation on the American RE market is also quite robust, most of properties go through the MLS and even if not, buyers scout for possible deals very vigilantly.

These are not leading node semiconductors that will be used for training AI. These are commodity chips that will be used in the automotive industry.
I think we're sort of climbing out of a local maximum of entropy. It's gotten better in some ways and worse at others. It'll take some time for everything to settle out.
Its amazing, we can have thousands of emoticons, but not the more complex ascii to use for boxes.
Awesome! Do you have a Telegram channel or a waitlist? I'd love to join!
So ... you aren't obligated to preserve records of the conversation if the channel is "in person", then.
Looks like that's Finland.
Nowadays you need AI chips in cars too.
Yes, the german automotive industry is used to extort and exploit their suppliers.

It must have been a shocking experience for them that chip manufacturers have alternative buyers.
Word of warning if you have smaller-than-average hands.

ZSA Moonlander is really not great or even very ergonomic for us. If you tent the keyboard, the thumb cluster has to be tilted down. In this case, the thumb keys are very hard to reach. If you put the cluster up, this improves only slightly, and now you can't tent the keyboard.

I stuck with mine for a few weeks but eventually gave up.
Until we have definitive evidence that LK99 is a SC, there's no reason to believe that it is a promising lead.
Thank you for your feedback! The reason why we needed your email is because we generate your sleep report and your personalized program asynchronously in our backend, but we can definitely consider showing some of the results immediately after the quiz without gating it. That being said, we promise not to spam (on average we send no more than 3 emails to users who stop engaging), and you can always unsubscribe from our mailing list.

Such a waste of time trying intently to regulate and control communication.

People will just get a second private device that is not managed by the organization, and if there is a mutually beneficial advantage to doing so, the other party will do the same as well.

This has been going on forever, I remember when they kicked up a huge fuss when they found out that people were doing direct pin-to-pin messages on the blackberry (was not logged for boss to read at the time).
In the grand scheme you are correct - there is enough US corporations' tech in ASML machines so that the US government has enough leverage to force ASML to comply with its export restrictions.

But your details aren't exactly right, I think. Cymer builds light sources for DUV, not EUV. The EUV light sources are built by Trumpf in Germany, at least as far as I know.
Whether or not RoP is true to the themes of Tolkien or not or not is in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but it certainly has dispensed with the existing lore. I've read more than my fair share of Tolkien, and the show just doesn't feel like Tolkien to me. It's a serviceable Tolkien flavored generic fantasy show, if you are looking for that sort of thing.

The tragedy is that the source material for the second age is so great yet they chose to take the show in a baffling and arbitrary direction, almost completely decoupled from the existing lore.
On the subject of obsolete ways of making light, I really miss the aesthetic of the yellow low-pressure sodium lights we used to use outdoors in the UK that ate the colours out of everything. They were actually about as efficient as LEDs in terms of turning electricity into visible light but didn't last as long and eventually the last European company making them packed it in so we've more or less switched over entirely at this point. I don't really like how a lot of modern lighting tries to make night look like day, I prefer the night to look like night!

There's no reason you couldn't have monochromatic LEDs in the same colour, part of me wishes we went for that instead of white ones which are usually pretty cold and harsh though they've got a lot better on that front with the really warm white ones being quite nice.

The cult of personality is always an enticing idea, it's pretty much certain that Jim Keller had a stellar team to work with in all of those places.

That being said, even a strong team is still usually only as good as its leadership. You can have all the great ideas in the world, but if the organisation does not allow you to pursue them (or on the other extreme, allows everyone to work on what they think is best) you will still fail to execute.

At the end of the day you need someone to make the correct decisions every step of the way.

I've been using Linux since 1995, and I'm completely lost sometimes. The manpage for `ip` is frustrating compared to the `ifconfig` one.

I had a bunch of Richard Scarry books as a child. As someone who grew up interested in engineering Scarry has these wonderful cut aways and illustrations of all sorts of everyday things.

My favorite is What Do People Do All Day. Cut aways showing pipes and cables underground with labels and colors, blue for water, green for sewage, red with white stripes for electric and blue with white stripes for telephone (might have those backwards). Homes under construction, farming and water wheel grain mill, power generation plant, road construction, even a passenger ship. Those books really stimulated the mind with those little details. And labels! Everything was labeled to tell you what that thing did or was. Some of the characters had little quips; I still remember the electrician in the house construction section standing by the fuse box/main disconnect/meter pan stating "never ever touch!"

The one thing that both infuriates and baffles me is why in gods name did they abridge What Do People Do All Day. The power station and more than I can remember is missing. My original copy was lost or destroyed, can't remember, when I was still young. When my mother went to look for another all she could find was abridged. WTF!
Why would I want to pay for somebody else’s clean trucks and neat uniforms? Sounds like a scam to me.
Supabase Local Dev: migrations, branching, and observability
OT: I'm curious about a long lasting bulb I have. Nothing like any of those, of course...it is just that it has way more hours on it than I'd expect based on average lifetimes of various types of bulb.

It's an outdoor security light over my garage. I don't know what technology it uses because the bulb is screwed in too tight for me to unscrew it with one of those things you put on the end of a pole to change out of reach bulbs, and I'm not agile enough on a ladder to be willing to get up on the garage roof to do it by hand.

The bulb is clear so it is not fluorescent. I think it is some kind of gas discharge lamp. When it turns on it takes a minute or so to reach full brightness.

It's been there since I bought this house 16 years ago. It's on a sensor that turns it on sometime during twilight and turns it off sometime during dawn. So figure maybe 10 hours a night average. That's over 58000 hours of on time.

But 58000 hours is over twice the average lifetime of all the likely technologies for this kind of security light except LED and it is definitely not LED. So I'm curious what technology my bulb actually uses.
Easier to make low power devices on older processes too.
Much smaller leakage currents and more robust.
Secure multi-party computing never delivered on its promise
IMO for e-bike you probably should be looking at the enviolo CVTs. Sure they're a little less efficient but you can get 330% gear range with ridiculous durability and have the option for electronic shifting. (that said my bike is a non-ebike shimano alfine 8)
I suspect "stability" will look a lot different from Windows though. They won't be supporting old versions of the API for 30 years but maybe 3 months, since both browser and OS are still expected to be kept up to date for security reasons and supporting old versions of code is onerous.

Edit: found this -

> The API boundary initially will be semi-stable: it will tolerate 1-2 milestones of version skew. We may allow larger amounts of skew in the future.

FF would have a hard time keeping up I think.
You'll be spending resources on LLMs like crazy. Possible but very messy IMO.

I haven’t had any upper middle class or rich Egyptians ever noting being concerned about the draft. I assume corruption permitted it to be completely avoidable. What value is this new system offering given the existing ‘infrastructure’ to avoid it?
But cheap ones, not the best.
What does a low tech (for chips) chip fab have with AI?
Yeah, I mean, it is part of EEA, pays for the access to common market, respects the EU directives, but has no saying, but that doesn't like make big difference
At the very least it’s several hundred billion dollars worth of real. We’ll have to see if the policy sustains itself or not.
Request logging should be done by an application gateway; it will do a more honest job of it. In applications, don't log anything except:

- application startup and shutdown (at INFO level)

- occurrences that indicate a bug in the system logging (at ERROR level)

- occurrences that indicate a bug in another of your systems (at WARN level)

The last two require a lot of education and discipline to stop people from logging rare but valid circumstances, bad input originating outside your software, and "important" events. The answer to "but don't we want to know when..." arguments should always be, "If it's that important, emit it as a metric or store it in an appropriate datastore." Anything logged at WARN or ERROR should be something that can be addressed by fixing code.

If you stick to this discipline, monitoring logs is valuable and reasonably simple. You can alert on any WARN and ERROR level logging. There's nothing like looking at a month of logs and seeing only actionable information and a handful of application lifecycle events. (There's also nothing like looking at six months of logs from a stable system and only seeing lifecycle events.)

It is hard to stick to this discipline. You need a manager who believes in it and will back it up when engineers want to depart from it, and who will always prioritize fixing violations.

Why is it so hard to make engineers follow these rules? Because initially, it makes them feel incredibly anxious. It feels irresponsible to throw away so much "important" information instead of logging it. After working this way for a while, though, they realize that it actually forces a higher level of responsibility. Logging information in noisy logs might feel better than throwing it away, but it's not. It creates an illusion of having handled the information responsibly. By taking away the illusory option, you force people to make a real decision between throwing it away and saving it in an actionable way, by emitting it as a metric or storing it in a datastore to be processed.

All the people in the study already had type 2 diabetes. What would have been useful is to compare their breakfast skipping and late night eating habits (slightly more than half of the people in the study did these activities) against the habits of the general population? As it is, this study tells us nothing.
The fact that the employees of the contractor companies ultimately work for only one company - Amazon - that means they should be treated like employees of Amazon.

This is the same situation when independent contractors have only one client.
You're incorect. Trumpf doesn't make EUV light sources, just lasers. Cymer builds the EUV light sources, by blasting microparticles of tin with said Trumpf lasers to generate EUV light.

That's not the only issue. TSMC has a big problem in creating fabs in the US, which is the lack of talent in sufficient numbers for the project to be successful, and the very high cost of existing talent. No surprise that they're delaying the US fab and going ahead with plants in Germany, where there is less expensive specialized labor.
No, mains runs at 230V in Europe, but as said by sibling comments, after the power transformer and rectification, HT1 (the primary high tension power bus, usually feeding the tubes in the power section) can get in the 300-500V range in some amp designs.

I knew from schematics and calculations it'd be about this high, but seeing the actual 400V value on my cheap multimeter sent shivers down my spine. Also I remember accidentally shorting the wrong wires while taking a measurement and blowing a fuse. Fun times!

We (Americans) have normalized, often explicitly legalized, quite a lot of corrupt behavior in various positions of power.[1] We then look at how comparatively little illegal corruption there is, and the official line is that everything is fine, nothing to see here.

Would be interesting to see another study with people who do both breakfast skipping and skipping late-night eating.

When I was in my 30s I was a typical woefully sedentary "IT potato" with more than a few extra kilograms around the waist, but today in my early 40s I manage to stay slim and free from diabetes despite being just as sedentary, and I'm convinced that my intermittent fasting is contributing to it:

These days I wait with breakfast until around lunchtime, and I have my last meal for the day between 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening. That is, instead of the usual pattern of eating during nearly two thirds of the day (16 hours) and fasting (sleeping) during one third (8 hours) I've turned it around so that I fast two thirds of the day, while still consuming the same amount of calories.
Many people do not have the time to read papers, jobs and life get in the way, which is why we use newspapers. WSJ happens to be one of the least biased papers, with a slight right lean.

Fires decreasing globally is not out of context here. I find that information interesting. Sure fires are increasing in other places but it seems to me your main concern is around people hearing that fires globally are decreasing.
Because courts are supposed to see through flimsy fictions like this. These companies are not in an ordinary vendor/customer relationship: they are controlled completely by Amazon, they do not and cannot serve customers other than Amazon, their conditions and working hours are set by Amazon, etc. They are Amazon subsidiaries in all but name, and their treatment by the law should reflect that.

Not GP, but in my case, I find my conversations with ChatGPT or Copilot often being in my native language. Whereas with Google, official docs, and StackExchage it's only and always English.

Obviously, the code I write in the end is English. But explaining a domain in a native language - especially when that domain embeds cultural things - helps a lot. For example, there's a massive difference between "add_high_VAT()" in a Dutch Context from a US context. Even add_VAT(lookup_VAT("FR", "low")) demands quite some domain-knowledge about EU tax system. Which I can express in English, but is much easier in my native language.
The design and implementation is really nice! I love the electrical socket tile.

hey hn, supabase ceo here

a few months ago one of customers migrated away from supabase and they wrote a blog post about it. That blog post appeared here[0] on hacker news. many of the issues they encountered were related to local development. we made several promises to improve based on that feedback and the various comments in the HN thread

today’s launch delivers on many of those promises. We’ve added better support for database migrations, seeding, backups, debugging, and documentation.

we have a lot of work ahead, this is just the first step. our next major step forward is “branching”, which we’re rolling out today for development partners and alpha testers.

we’ve coupled the branching functionality to GitHub for now. whenever you create a new PR we launch a new instance, run the database migrations in your version control, and seed the database for reproducible test environments. we’re using Firecracker[1] for every preview environment. This environment automatically pauses when it’s not in use. we’re seeing some very impressive startup times, even though we’re stuffing a lot of services inside the VM. We looked at making full-production clones but decided against that for now until we have a robust strategy for anonymizing production data and mocking out calls to external services. Ultimately we want to offer both options, it’s just easier and safer to start with seed data.

since supabase offers a few services beyond the Postgres database, we still have a few questions to work through with our alpha testers. for example, we also store images/videos/files for our customers. Do these need to be anonymized in preview environments? we don’t have all the answers yet, but we’re moving in the right direction. As hard as it was to have a customer migrate away so publicly, I’m proud of the work the team have done to improve on feedback

ps - to `todsacerdoti`, while we appreciate the automated posting of our articles, it would be great if we can post our own articles occasionally so that we can provide more context in the pinned description

minor nitpick: "e.V." in Germany is "eingetragener Verein", "registered association" and is a form of association that's extremely common and use for all kinds of things, e.g. local sports groups, interest groups, etc, so "e.V." in and of itself doesn't have anything to do with industry, though as in the above case it can be used that way!
Let's say I have $100 in assets and $10 in liabilities. The assets consist of Nike sneakers I'd like to sell; the liabilities consist of bags of trash that would cost me $30 to throw away at the dump. I'm lazy, so sell some shoes and I pay the trash man $35 to take the liabilities away.

I have put all my liabilities in one company (the trash man) and left all my assets in my company.

Now, I have a company with a few Nike assets and no liabilities. One of the pairs of shoes catches on fire and becomes a smelly, smoking liability. I sell the rest of the shoes and return the money to the shareholders, leaving the company only owning the burned shoe liability. Now all of the company's assets belong to the shareholders, and all the company has is liabilities.

Which law did I break?
Fair enough, but I wonder how much areas and personal experiences matter.

My experience with UPS over last 2 decades, as a receiving individual, has been dismal (condos in Toronto and now house in satellite residential community). I understand they optimize toward businesses, and I'm sure as a business their procedures are streamlined and efficient, but as a resident receiving package, it's awful. Majority of packages don't get delivered when I'm in the house eagerly expecting a package. Sour attitudes when I do. Amazon delivery on the other hand is always with a smile and a wave - and it gets here every.single.time.

But I recognize it's a personal / individual experience. I don't know what a broader picture is.
I submitted this because there are a lot of good examples of how driving is not just a process of spotting objects and following lanes, but a social process of interacting with people.

I came across another example a couple of days ago. A guy was telling a story about he was out walking his two bigger dogs in the evening. Across the street, a tiny dog started barking angrily. The tiny dog got away from its owner started to cross the street, heading into traffic. So the guy with the big dogs stepped a bit into the street, waving to attract the attention of an oncoming driver who he thought might not see the small dog ready to run under the wheels.

I have no idea what a robot car might make of that, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the one who has to write the sort of social processing that determines the guy is trying to signal something, so we should stop until we figure out what the signal means.

this is classic monopoly behavior, once a company gets big enough they don't have to care about customer service. Similar reason why Google has such terrible customer service
