Besides the mention of BMI by other users, I'd also ponder the study's applicability because of its focus on men and women in a city in Saudi Arabia, where cultural norms are likely at odds with more western sensibilities (e.g. access to sport amenities for women patients, etc.).
It's like they hire only socially inept sociopathic leadership.......
I've been using Laravel for 10 years+ and couldn't be happier about how the framework and community evolved. The community has many kind and awesome people who love sharing their knowledge and pushing Laravel and PHP forward. In other words, PHP isn't dead; far from it, PHP is very much alive, and I think Laravel and the community are one of the primary reasons why the language is still thriving; Laravel forever!
If you mess up a rebase you can always rebase -—abort (/ use the reflog) to restore the pre-rebase state.
The business model makes perfect sense to me. This is essentially a modernized version of what most big companies are already doing to shore up engineering needs at low cost (they will go to some overseas consulting company and say "hey we need X devs with Y skills, we can pay them Z per hour. project will last T months.").

The bulk of the cost of building a subway is in the tunnel construction. Could as well retrofit the tunnels with tracks for real trains later, when everyone except Elon realizes how little sense the original idea makes.
My tone was sharp and im saying things you dont want to hear; natural to want to answer in kind.

Truly tho I do not think that domain names sales is a great way to spend one's time anymore, nor do I think you're likely to find much success here. If you get offered $200 by the owner of the existing .net; i'd be surprised.

> Typograms optimizes for editability and portability (e.g. plain text is easy to maintain, change, store and transmit), at the cost of expressivity (e.g. SVG is more expressive) and ergonomics (e.g. higher level tools produce diagrams faster).

How can it be both “easy to change” and not be ergonomic?
i don't buy it. TSLA still has a big city high tech slant and that's driving most of the sales, while Ford electric trucks are flying like hotcakes. he's going to have to do more to compete on features, on culture, and on reliability -- a big selling point for trucks, and something Tesla's terrible QA will struggle with.

The implication that truck drivers love bipolar douchebags is also vaguely offensive; if that was true the flyover states would be all about Kanye.

Apple Maps lets you download maps offline, also check out Organic Maps which uses OSM - https://apps.apple.com/au/app/organic-maps-offline-hike-bike...
Gotta say -- that looks ... kinda awesome.

I'm sorry the relationship didn't work out. I can completely relate, though. I think just about every "coolest physical thing" I've made ended up going to an ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.

I guess I'm just not motivated to make cool physical things for myself.

Ask HN: What resources do you use to understand financial markets?
I basically want to be able to watch CNBC and understand everything they are saying and be able to formulate my own educated opinion.

I want to be able to cut through all the sensationalized noises about how the market is going to or not going to crash.

For example, its Aug 8th 2023, and US trade with China is in decline. How do people know this? How can I fact check this myself? How can I formulate my own educated opinion, so I know if this is a giant nothing burger or if it's time to liquidate my retirement account?

There are so many hucksters and snake oil sales men in this space that I don't even know where to begin to look.

So HN, how did you learn the financial markets?

There's Busytown board game that's pretty fun to play with young children: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/64220/richard-scarrys-bu....

It is very distinctive, with a huge 6 foot long game board.

Or I can go with the huge sell-everything store because I'm perfectly fine with the service it provides. Not everyone is looking for some bespoke curated experience when buying a product.

In short, the store that serves what I want is usually the huge sell-everything store.
I also run GrapheneOS. Did you have to install Google Play to be able to install and use Magic Earth?

I'm trying to keep my phone as de-Google'd as possible.

That said, the one thing I miss from proprietary Android land is Google Maps so I am very interested in a comparable alternative. I'm trying Organic Maps at the moment, and had played with OsmAnd~ but found it lacking when I tried to use it for real-time navigation while driving.
They interviewed 310 ppl, calculated their BMI, then found out around half skip breakfast. That half had BMI a little higher than the rest.

No discussion of what they eat.

What a waste of time for everyone involved.
It could be easy to operate when everything is fine but what's about incidents?
If I understand correctly, there is a metadata database (BTW, is it multi-AZ as well?). But what if there is a data loss incident and some metadata was lost? Is it possible to recover from S3? If this is possible, then I guess that can't be very simple and should require a lot of time because S3 is not that easy to scan to find all the artefacts needed for recovery.

Also, this metadata database looks like a bottleneck. All writes and reads should go through it so it could be a point of failure. It's probably distributed and in this case it has its own complex failure modes and it has to be operated somehow.

Also, putting things from different partitions into one object is also something I'm not very keen about. You're introducing a lot of read amplification and S3 bills for egress. So if the object/file has data from 10 partitions and I only need 1, I'm paying for 10x more egress than I need to. The doc mentions fanout reads from multiple agents to satisfy a fetch request. I guess this is the price to pay for this. This is also affects the metadata database. If every object stores data from one partition the metadata can be easily partitioned. But if the object could have data from many partitions it's probably difficult to partition. One reason why Kafka/Redpanda/Pulsar scale very well is that the data and metadata can be easily partitioned and these systems do not have to handle as much metadata as I think WarpStream have to.
I really like this vision for the system. If they can retrofit in some rails and remove the drivers, it suddenly makes a lot of sense. I hope that’s where this ends up!

Show HN: Frolic – open-source Back end for your Customer Facing Dashboards
Hi HN,

Today we’re launching Frolic - An Open Source backend to make customer facing dashboards 10x faster written in Rust.(https://www.frolicorg.com)

You can directly connect your database to the project and use ready made APIs to query data in frontend. You no longer have to write custom APIs for different dashboard components and create/maintain SQL queries for them.

You can also use frolic-react library for your UI along with frolic to create full stack dashboards much faster: https://github.com/frolicorg/frolic-react

What do you think? Feel free to comment with questions, remarks, and thoughts.

Happy to hear them.

Thanks
The Windows build still had plenty of Perl in it when I worked on Windows 8.
Thank you for the feedback. And taking the time to play with the examples.

Yep I can add something like what you suggested. I can add more on the side bar how to do the test.

"Open up two browser, side-by-side, both using the generated access token, walk around, and see players moving on the screen"

Just for interest sake, there is no "game server", NoLag creates a "Semi-peer" connections between the two browsers... Browser one is sending data to browser two via NoLag.
The USA has guaranteed the demise of Taiwan by making it the next target of a global war. Everyone knows that China is not going back on a territory that is theirs by international treaties, and the US has practically declared they will fight to separate Taiwan from China. The only thing that remains for Taiwanese companies is to move from homeland into other countries as a way to survive. Actually, this is probably what the US gov wanted in the first place, so they destroyed another competitor.
If you get the right kind of paint/marker you can mark the bolts with the same color as the wrench, then you can see what wrench you need from many feet away.

Or just grab the 10mm, it's always 10mm.
Yes, you've got it! That's a great take!

That quality, though it may seem a bit unreal, has benefits in terms of revealing musical gestures that would otherwise be obscured. (See my link to the Mussorgsky passage elsethread.)

Speaking as an audio engineer, we are always fighting to achieve this kind of transparency.
I still have no idea what you're talking about re: ideology personally. I think Retric nailed it really:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37048877

This is not about principles or ideology, just self-interest re: how to deploy political/actual capital imo in all directions. Public infrastructure projects are expensive and the benefits of them are not evenly distributed and that's why the fights over them are so intense these years, now that the country is more mature and billions of dollars of wealth are potentially in the balance every time one comes up.
Surely a non-compete was involved?
Really? It seems totally reasonable to think that a failed solution is actually worse than no current solution. For example, are these tunnels going to be an obstacle if the city decides to build a real subway someday? Is a failure here going to destroy public appetite for "similar looking" projects? Can the people behind this project be trusted to build it in such a way that it doesn't become a death trap and strain on emergency services?

There are a variety of totally legitimate reasons not to let just anyone try to do something like this.
For the love of god, why does there need to be yet another lane? It will emphatically not solve the problem. Driving teslas through a tunnel is not flexible, it's a recipe for induced demand and gridlock.

Build a subway! High volumes of people get moved very efficiently. Moving small numbers of people in personal vehicles is a terrible idea. Flexibility is a bad feature here.
Cool idea - can you say more up front about how this works? I went through the (long) survey just to get a paywall with no information on what to expect.

Also, do you plan to offer a version of this for teenagers? I noticed the youngest age range is 20.
> "We need a file manager, we need a notification bar, we need a dock, we need a clipboard, we need support for Android apps, we need ... an OS that's not just a browser"

That's what 100% absolutely kills me with Chrome OS. When I first used the CR48 it felt like a companion device to my main desktop Chrome environment. Now it's trying too hard to be a primary device, and now with Google deploying Android tablets and Chrome OS-powered tablets it's like nobody knows what platform needs to be on what endpoints anymore. Will the laptop run Chrome OS? Lacros? Android? Who knows!

I really really wish I could have a ChromeOS fork that goes back to the simple "the browser window is the OS, no more, no less".
Less efficient in what way? Cost per passenger-mile?
Since the first one cost about 47 million, it seems reasonable to guess the others will cost some multiple of that. The opportunity cost of several hundred million dollars seems... bad? Just have a subway!
> This suggest that some drivers see the message and react by adjusting their driving and that other drivers near them either do not see the sign, do not make adjustments, or are not paying enough attention to the road to notice that a driver in their hazard zone has made an adjustment that will cause an accident if they don't react similarly.

This is all potentially true, but an equally valid interpretation of the limited data is that the larger sign requires more cognitive overhead, resulting in less attention given to the road.

> take a defensive driving test at least every 5 years so that the lessons

Yes, especially here in the US where it's really easy to get a license to drive. A cultural shift would help too, because right now it's all about "Well, it's not my fault" - as if the accident and potential fallout is less important than who bears financial responsibility. In /most/ cases, there are defensive steps a driver could have taken to avoid an accident even if they were not directly at fault, but we don't emphasize that enough. (Or at all?)
Any team, whether they are nearshore, or offshore, regardless of their experience level, including fresh grads, can successfully develop high-quality B2B applications that cater to all your needs, from pre-seed to Unicorn stage.
Turkey and others crack down on this regularly. Besides if you have the money to go to Turkey or pay extra to unscrupulous forwarders it means you are already well off, if the regime pays you well then good for you I guess. People in remote villages that supply new meat for the war don't have that luxury. They only have a TV that tells them everything is fine

Yes even in Iran people manage to buy foreign goods and find ways to work around sanctions. But if you say "Russia is becoming like Iran/North Korea" and "Russia is thriving" are the same then I rest my case.
I gave /e/OS and microG a whirl when I bought my Fairphone (Murena preinstalls it on the phones they sell in the US), and it was cool how much it was able to do without the "real" gApps, but two snags ended up being showstoppers and pushed me to my usual LineageOS+gApps:

1. The Google account for my day job has various security settings that block authentication under various circumstances, including (I guess) Google services running under different signatures/IDs than expected

2. The App Lounge was really crashy for reasons I was never able to discern, and there was little rhyme or reason to certain Play Store apps being missing or uninstallable (namely: my banking app and T-Mobile's voicemail app)
I should have phrased it better, my intention wasn't to focus responsibility on typical FB users. It's posting and consuming news on a platform that deliberately puts them in an information bubble that feeds into and reinforces their existing viewpoints. It's what keeps people there and drives FB profits, but it causes harm to society. The responsibility is on FB and those knowingly feeding toxic content into it.
Amazingly useful resource even today. Because bikes are timeless, a vintage model might only be serviceable with the help of an experienced mechanic or Sheldon Brown’s site. I’m exaggerating since there clearly are other fora of knowledge and advice, but how did those contributors learn? Many roads lead back to Sheldon Brown’s site.

We bought an iPad instead of a Kindle Fire because of crap like this.

The iPad is still an atrocious experience. I cannot tell if I'm simply aging out of being able to figure out new technology, or if none of the product managers at Apple have young children. But it's marginally better than the Kindle, and it runs Roblox.
China is willing to point a firehose of resouroces at development targets, but that doesn't guarantee success. Semiconductors are really stinking hard!

East Germany famously tried really hard to develop a native capability, but failed and wound up smuggling parts from the west and running years behind western firms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxrkC-pMH_s

China is more willing to both reward and hold senior stakeholders responsible, as long as they aren't too closely allied with Xi
Proton visionary membership (Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN, Pass) and a custom domain.
That's absolutely true and it's a national strategy in China to get around.

Not just Mexico, Chinese companies set up offshore entities everywhere, from Vietnam to Singapore to Canada, Mexico, etc. Basically everywhere. They then ship components there, assembly there and ship the full product to US.

I dare to claim 80% or even more trade increase between Mexico and US is done that way.
Less efficient in what regard? Certainly not cost per kilometer

> LLMs sever that link

Do they though? I mean, do you personally have a link to the people that are consuming the content you post publicly?

I find all the vitriol around LLMs being trained on public data to be a bit weird. If you don't want that data being used then don't publish it for the world to see? Why get mad when you are the one freely publishing the data in the first place? That's like posting your content on a bulleting board in the dorm common room and telling the trust-fund kids they can't read it because they are rich and you don't want them learning anything from you that might make them richer. Maybe a bad analogy, but I feel like it's a fair approximation of the vitriol I see.
The world has space for specialists and generalists, for good reason. So ideally you have a mix of breadth and some very specific depth.

If we could see the future accurately we wouldn't need careers advice or HN!

Part of this is that you need to take a punt or three, but probably try to ensure they are interesting and enjoyable, since you are more likely to stick at them.
I'm someone who very much loves the concept of Nix and what it is trying to achieve. However, a sibling poster put it well:

> On the advice of numerous HN threads, I switched from Homebrew to Nix, and gave it a 6 month shot. Nix was great at first: simple, fast, elegant. However, I quickly realized that the simplicity was a facade that even a casual user would eventually be forced to remove. And what you find behind the facade gets really, complex really quickly.

Terrible analogy. Returning the shopping cart is expected behavior of user as expressed by the grocery store. Expected user behavior as expressed by OSM is that you can use the data as you please, even for profit, and if you alter the data, you need to share that data back. That’s it. YOUR desired behavior for users of OSM’s data (open sourcing any app that uses it) really has no bearing. You aren’t the licensor and you have no say. Why do you feel as though you should get to impose your dogma on OSM’s data product?
These aren't contractors like Uber drivers. They are corporations that are contractors of Amazon, and the drivers are employees of those companies. How would this possibly be a legal issue?
No one said Costco offers the very best product in any or all categories.

What they said is that Costco is upfront about what they're selling, rarely sells defective products, and offers a very generous return policy in the (rare) case you are dissatisfied with a purchase.

Those aren't that far off from Walmart or Target, because those are also generally reasonable retailers. I would say Costco offers better value on their products overall.

If you ask more of that from any retailer, good luck finding anyplace to purchase anything.
"Shell company" isn't a legal term and has varying definitions, but generally is a company that only exists on paper and doesn't do anything. These companies deliver products for Amazon.
