I love (ab)using protocols that are built-in to most OS'. I wrote a dumb fake samba share that let people see messages in Finder.app/Explorer.exe/Gnome/KDE since I couldn't find a cross-platform gui or cli messaging system that didn't require installing special client software. (even netcat invocations were not working when trying on our local network, and had OS-specific flag differences if we wanted to do broadcast).

You see the samba share message in your file browser, click it and can edit the filenames to update a 3-line "bulletin board".

On Debian, install the dwww package (<https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/dwww>), and point your browser at <https://localhost/dwww/>.

What you'll find is both a set of pages & hierarchy of documentation as well as search (via swish++) through that space. And yes, there is an absolute trove of information available:

- Manpages

- Info pages

- Default package information

- Supplementary package documents, if installed

- HOWTOs from the Linux Documentation Project.

- Debian-specific documentation (installation, administration, security, policy, and other manuals)

- RFCs (divided into several groups, for manageability / relevance)

- Resources such as the Linux Gazette

There's also a commandline utility, dwww, which will invoke your browser of choice. Point that at a terminal-based browser (w3m, lynx, links, elinks, etc.) and you can quickly scan through docs from your terminal.

There is no need to eject when creating custom modules and the API for writing modules is fairly decent. Not entirely painless but miles better than a vanilla RN approach. We make extensive use of development builds and it's the feature I value the most - no need for Firebase or TestFlight for testing a branch.
All good points. I’m seeing my primary care physician with data from Fitbit the first time next week. Normally they just prescribed different sleep drugs, but none does anything for me. I think that up to this point, they probably assumed I was exaggerating the issues.
Glad to see someone else mention the falsehood of the original quote.

The customs charges bit is interesting because I don't really understand where they (as in UPS) stand on this.

I'm sure they're adding their own 'convenience' fee on top of the actual VAT or whatever they are collecting for the government too - but they don't have a contract with her to do this, so why do they expect her to pay it? The sender is the one who has contracted and paid UPS to deliver the parcel, but if this lady wants nothing to do with it - what are they trying to bill her for?

I understand they have paid the government tax on her behalf, but she didn't ask for them to do so. Surely by this logic, anyone in the world could bankrupt anyone else in any country other than their own by mailing a brick that they declare to be worth millions to the unlucky recipient?

You weren't moving on a simulated rigid-body physics object, but in practice there's not much difference - other than handling the nasty cases, like what to do when the physics object flips upside down and crushes the player, or resolving collisions with static world objects that the player makes contact with but the 'vehicle' doesn't.

If work gave me an office I would come in every day vs. the mandated twice a week we have.

I worked for a company that gave everyone an office. Just long hallways of offices with floor to ceiling windows and a door. It was a startup that grew to 200 people and was the best job I've had, a large part due to the atmosphere, and part of that was the office setup.

When my current workplace shutdown the office for covid, they sent out an email asking for suggestions for a new office setup. I told them to make everyone offices. We have a huge open floor and it wouldn't take much effort, just money. Money they are planning to spend anyway. Instead they raised the height of cubicle walls, added a ton of glass (disease spread fear I guess), and gave everyone whiteboards and motorized standup desks.

Now on my required days in the office I am annoyed by the constant chatter and noises around me which I cannot escape even with headphones.

Indeed. The young have always had poor turnout. They demand change, and get frustrated that it doesn't come quickly.

I find that aggravating, because they don't seem to notice just how easily they can lose the changes that have already come. The two parties are not equal. One is often diametrically opposed to their interests.

The other may not be able to give them everything they want -- that's the nature of political compromise. Without that compromise, they'll get less-than-nothing. They'll lose some of what they already have.

That fact has never been clearer than right now, so I just don't know what to tell them.

Thanks for clarifying! You can modify your display so it looks that way all the time by changing the white point. Most designers use 6500K but you probably are looking for something near 3500-4000K. You can do this by calibrating your monitor to create a new custom display profile. Hope that helps!

I don't think that's the only line - I am pretty introverted but like having a place outside of my home where I can work. It's enough of a "default mildly social" situation to not feel isolated or restless if I want to do something like watch a movie or read at night (and I have a partner but that's not the same). I'd say most of the variability can be explained with three questions
1. Do you have a long commute?
2. Do you have a nice working environment at the office?
3. Do you have kids?
"Ignore performance when designing your API" is an obvious non-starter. I don't think you're serious.

Unlikely.

The packages are being sent to her because the fraudster sellers don't want to bother with them. The value of the shoes is likely not worth her time (else it would've been worth the seller's time -- the margins here are not huge).

And to make matters worse, she's being charged for the shipping:

> She says couriers have also abandoned packages on her porch, denying her the opportunity to refuse them. It has also resulted in more than $300 worth of Collect-on-Delivery (COD) customs charges from the United Parcel Service (UPS). The bills are mailed to her by the delivery company.

Yeah, those drone strikes from the Obama administration were pretty bad.
Many of the most famous personal finance gurus are basically teaching "personal finance for dummies", and so they take a very basic approach. They focus on getting people out of financial trouble, and in that context 'debt=bad' is a pretty handy rule of thumb. If they gave the general advice to chase that sweet 3% cash back, they could easily do more harm than good to their audience at large, since it might lead a large number of people (remember their target audience!) to take on debt that they end up carrying for some time. By sticking to the over-simplified "debt=bad" messaging, they give up some easy (small) gains to avoid some potential (and relatively big) costs.

This recent (and self-serving) tendency of reducing “class” to only the extremely wealthy and everyone else is reductive and obscures important economic dynamics. It’s ridiculous to treat a master plumber that owns a plumbing business as “bourgeoise” while treating an Amazon engineer who has tremendous human capital as being a “proletariat.” Even in Marx’s time, there was substantial debate about how to classify the salaried professionals that served as the agents of the capital owners.

In the modern economy, capital owners are reliant on a class of non-fungible white collar workers that bring their own human capital. The two groups have myriad common interests. Those interests are in many cases in opposition to those of ordinary workers who lack human capital and are fungible and easily replaced.

Taking the other side - the junior was out to lunch with a bunch of coworkers.

In the office setting the CEO would never been seen anywhere near the same floor that such junior people are working or eating, never having the opportunity to introduce themselves. One bank famously had a special CEO elevator so the guy could seamlessly get from the garage to his high-rise executive suite without bumping into a single soul.

I recently found myself out to dinner a table over from a C-suite exec at my company. I did not introduce myself because I'm a socially damaged introvert.

It's a pretty easy bet that the kid was a major extrovert on the other hand, more than some assumption they must already be upper class.

You'd be surprised about the class mobility on Wall St vs other industries. When I graduated, Google famously did not even recruit from anything other than a small handful of schools and screened out a pretty high GPA minimum like 3.75 or so. Meanwhile every bank came to my college and I had like 5 offers. A good number of my coworkers spent some time at community college, had parents without college degrees, are first gen immigrants, etc.

Outside of glad-handing networking roles that lean on peoples connections like in IB, "already rich" is the exception rather than the rule. Bear was famous for saying they didn't hire MBAs, but instead PSDs — poor, smart and had a deep desire to be rich

> Digging ditches is a lot harder than writing code all day in an air-conditioned office

Not it isn't. I haven't dug ditches, but I've done other physical labor. At the end of the day your body is exhausted, but your mind is still sharp and ready for more. By contrast when programming all day your mind is exhausted, but your body is ready for more. Different types of hard, but both are very hard in their own way.

Actually most ditch digging these days is done with a machine. I don't know how hard that is, but I assume it moves more to the repetitive mental work side.

While yes, Svelte is faster out of the box than React, that's not its main draw in my opinion. When you learn React, you learn React's idioms, its methodology, the common component libraries, etc. You learn its API and patterns.

Svelte follows the patterns established by HTML and CSS, and builds upon them. If you know how to write static HTML, you will already be familiar with the structure of a Svelte component. If you know CSS, the <style> tag in Svelte is natural to you (except that CSS styles are scoped to component by default, so it's actually easier than plain CSS).

For the JS, you don't have to research to find out what the hot client state management tool of the week for React is. You don't have to worry about useState vs useEffect vs useMemo. You don't have to worry about how to integrate with a reactive library like rxjs. You just write what looks like plain JS + things like "$:" and "$store", and you're done.

Developer performance is what matters most here. React has an advantage for now due to a decade of inertia, but folks coming up who don't already know React or folks who are feeling burned out by React due to huge transitions like classes-to-functions? They're the target audience who's gonna try Svelte and realize they've been living with Stockholm Syndrome for a while now.

Things like useMemo(…) are abstraction leaks. They are mental overhead and boilerplate over and above the actual problems people are trying to solve.

Gimme someone with HTML/CSS knowledge and basic JavaScript skills, and I'll deliver a viable Svelte developer in a day or two. That's something React cannot match and will never match.

Will React disappear? Of course not. Even COBOL is still in use. No one's dumping React and a large codebase on a whim. But when more folks realize they can use GridJS and ChartJS and other vanilla JS libraries out of the box with Svelte without an elaborate stack of bespoke wrappers to make them work, React's ecosystem will not seem quite so rich in comparison.

Folks writing for greenfield are gonna think twice about React.

We don't know for sure Mars is sterile. Seeding our own ecosystem is not worth losing the precious opportunity to see if there's life on Mars, and if it's anything like ours. That alone would advance science and philosophy significantly. Even finding fossils would be incredible.

Also, if there's actually life in Mars, nothing guarantees our life will prevail over it. Maybe the nutrient-deprived native life will have a feast on ours, if our evolved defenses are innefective against their unknown threat.
I see this in almost every thread on this topic, but feel it buries the lede since its dependency upon nix makes it more complicated than it seems, at least every time I've revisited it. Maybe it's an artifact of its 0.x version, or the fact that I have improper expectations

With regard to your "CI" use case, this is part of why I said I must have improper expectations because

$ docker run --name dbox ubuntu:22.04 bash -c 'curl -fsSL https://get.jetpack.io/devbox | FORCE=1 bash; devbox init; devbox add awscli2; devbox add zulu@11'
$ docker exec dbox du -hs /nix

and that's just the simple version, on Linux, and thus is likely the happy-path in CI.

Show HN: Podshorty – Summarize YouTube Videos into Compact Audio Digests
Hi all,

I've been working on Podshorty for the past few months. The idea is simple: summarize and compress lengthy YouTube videos into concise audio versions using the voices of the original speakers.

Where I'm from the only companies that give a shit about HS grades are the elite finance and consulting firms - pretty unheard of otherwise.

Why they care? I've heard a couple of explanations:

- Like with the standardized test (cough IQ test cough) obsession, they kind of subscribe to the racehorse theory, namely that some individuals are just born smart and have excelled all their lives. They don't just want hard working individuals, they want hard working and smart individuals.

- It shows a constant progression. They want people that have excelled all their lives, and not those with random spurs of excellence

And of course, just another weeding function.
