Oddly, appliances are the area I would trust user reviews the least. It will be dominated by luck of experience on who will post. And with how variable manufacturing is for most, the exact same model sold on the other side of the nation is as likely to be a different beast as not. Not even considering last year's version of it.

Still, I don't discard the idea here. If there are features of it that every low star mentions, I think I agree that I would trust the feature is bad. I can't think of often that has happened. Will try to pay more attention for it.
The facts, if you care to dig into stats, are that sitting out increases the chance you don't return, and less education pays less over a lifetime.

Also claiming "destitution" is nonsense. See my other post with actual numbers, including context to what else people buy.
"The Golden Notebook" (novel by Doris Lessing)

Wow, finally some fiction that isn't science fiction and something written by a woman. Excellent choice! I highly recommend her other works.

What blew me away the most about Golden Notebook: It was published in 1962 -- 60 years ago! The ideas about feminism that the two lead women characters discuss are way ahead of their time.

Also by Ms. Lessing, I recommend "The Grass Is Singing". She really knows how transport you inside the minds of her characters. The lead character's struggle to adapt to difficult farm life in a colony is real.
Except that in 14 hours and 10 comments, there’s been no evidence provided she even claims a South Korean identity.
Arthur Bench: The Most Robust Way to Evaluate LLMs
Then, by using XDG variables, the user can get precisely what they want, but only from those programs which follow the XDG spec which is designed specifically to enable user control of the locations where files go.
Some here complain about a convention (not using XDG vars) which removes user choice. Others here recognize that the convention to use XDG allows for user-defined configuration.
If a user's wish is different from the XDG default convention, they can change its configuration. If a user's preference is different from the $HOME/.$program convention and the maintainers don't use XDG vars, the user is SOL.
It may be summarized to what they want, but it can be what I want too. All YouTube recommendations are already what I want to see. Videos from creators who share my world view, criticizing what I hate, and praising what I've already liked. If this Chrome's new feature is also personalized in this manner, I can read articles against my view and still get only what I want. My world view will become increasingly polarized, and it's already quite biased.
But yeah, keep using Chrome because it's allegedly "faster" or so you don't have to test the page you are developing on 3 different engines.
> I never would have picked it up in the first place if I knew that it was "about" a butler reflecting on their career.

Absolutely same here, and as a matter of fact I did not know this when I first picked it up. All I knew going in was that it was "good" and that the ending made one of the podcast hosts cry.

It is a seriously beautiful book, I wish I was able to put into words all that I feel about it. It's got a sort of meta-layer - the events in the book just sort of pass by without much time for deep reflection by the protagonist. And the way they are described is similarly without much ceremony or reflection, so that by the end you are left with the same feeling as the butler - just this kind of sadness and feeling that things have passed by, irrevocably, to time.

I definitely plan to read more of his work - but now that I've experienced Remains of the Day I am almost hesitant. Sort of like when you hear a really sad song that touches you enough to make you cry - it's beautiful, but my instinct is sometimes to flinch away from stuff that makes me feel that hard. (Maybe I ought to draw a lesson from Stevens about that...)

I see. In the absence of evidence otherwise. I would assume the background of PhD graduates is roughly similar to PhD students, although that might not be true.

I am saying that the funding of current PhD students is irrelevant to whether their family is wealthy, not that familial background is irrelevant.

> 1. how long they will continue to remain rechargable; and if they begin to hold less and less of a charge. if they are still recharging fine for you after 8 years, that seems pretty good.

> 3. how long do they last on a full charge? if use them for camp lights are we going to run out of light after a day ?

The batteries last long enough that I can't answer these questions. I will say I don't own any devices like camp lights where battery life is a significant problem. The batteries in e.g. my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard last for months.

One thing to be aware of is that the voltage curve is different than for alkaline batteries†, so devices like my keyboard will start giving low-battery warnings when they are still mostly charged. This is legitimately annoying on e.g. macOS where you can't disable the warning. Why I would ever want to replace the batteries before they're actually dead is beyond me.

† I don't really know what I'm talking about, this is the explanation I found when I looked up the problem online years ago.

> 2. what happens if the rechargable battery is left inside a forgotten toy or device for 7 years? if I find it 7 years later, is it a leaky mess or still viable? this is a big reason "AA's are disposable anyway, who cares" is appealing - we have forgotten batteries all the time. if we forget about a toy and our $3.50/each batteries are ruined we could be buying a lot of these pricey batteries

I've been using the batteries continuously for that long and they haven't leaked. I'm not even sure these types of batteries can leak? I'd love for someone who knows more about battery chemistry to chime in here.
To provide a concrete example, Twitter was nice for getting bus service updates from whatever transit agency operates in the city I happen to be in. I used to be able to look at a bus sign and see the service agency here is called "Metro Transit", so I could search "Metro Transit" on Twitter and somewhere early in the search results a verified account would pop up with something like "Twin Cities Metro Transit" in the description. I can be almost certain that's the account I want to look at. Now that verification is gone, I have to try way harder to find the right account in the sea of conversations, spam, inactive accounts, etc etc. Or go outside Twitter to find the agency's website and dig around for their social contacts, blah blah. Nothing to do with "importance" here, I just want to know what's going on with the bus service. Twitter used to be good for that, now it's a chore.

From the article:

Functional languages generally implement algebraic data types by pattern matching over the cases in a sum type to assign behavior to each variant. Dart 3 achieves the same with pattern matching in switch cases, and takes advantage of the fact that OO subtyping already naturally models sum types.

I like that they're saying this part out loud, while languages like C# have been able to do this for years but they never came out and spoke about it in this way. It might have made folks get excited about C# when everyone was really excited about how nice Rust's enums are (they're still exciting to me though).
I wonder how much they're projecting to spend on this? Or maybe they're prepared to eat a loss on this just to stay relevant in the face of Bing/Kagi/OpenAI?

Results from these models are orders of magnitude more expensive than traditional search. Maybe they have some benefits of scale where they can cache and serve up the same summaries to many people?
Some people are motivated by a sense of professional responsibility. Others are not, thats true. I prefer to work with the former.
Forget the us vs them culture war perspective, and think about this- who are the people attracted to "incel" or "mens rights" stuff and why? These are mostly men - that grew up "people pleasing" and being unable to set boundaries, thinking this made them "good" or "nice guys" and therefore deserving of romantic and financial success, yet it didn't work out like that and they're upset about it.

The men's rights stuff tells them they've been sold a lie/raw deal by society, and that they can get power, success, etc. by rejecting that narrative that didn't work for them. Yes, this involves a lot of fear, misogyny, etc. but at it's core there is the message that it's your own fault, and you need to take responsibility: learn to set boundaries, work hard, prioritize and communicate your own needs, develop vulnerability and emotional intelligence, etc. Old self help books that really work are extremely popular in these communities, and these men support and coach each other in working hard to apply these lessons in their own lives. Those books predate "incel" or "mens rights" stuff and themselves have nothing to do with it.

I grew up with these same issues, and found advice that helped me because it had been popularized and made visible by these "men's rights" groups. I wholeheartedly reject the misogyny, narcissism, and fear based manipulation these groups use, but I also wholeheartedly accept the idea that most of my problems were caused by myself, and I can do the work to fix them by doing the internal emotional work, learning to set boundaries, etc.
Europe tried a very global approach to energy with Russia, went swimmingly for them.
For a superior privacy product to neuter itself for the benefit of supposed people who want inferior privacy is bizarre. Who are these people, who would want to use Tor Browser but wish it were less private? All this does is make the inferior privacy product seem better than it really is, by associating it with a superior one.

This whole thing STINKS.

Correct, true RISCs tend to not use microcode. ARM historically has, but it's also always been a bit of a RISC/CISC hybrid.
I'm no Terraform expert but it's been in my resume and toolbox since ~2016.

Up until these changes, I would always pick Terraform for managing AWS. I have my gripes with it but it has been the best choice (as the saying goes, anybody that uses a tool long enough should have complaints about its limitations).

Now, however, I'm finally thinking of going with the CDK to insulate myself from more seismic shifts in the "OSS ecosystem" of devops tools.

To be clear, the police were fucking stupid in this situation, but that's not the context here. They were literally arguing that appearance should dictate police response.
> the tech elite ( or more like the money elite controlling tech ) started talking about minority, lgbt and women's 'rights', they all started censoring, deplatforming, oppressing.

That's an entirely different issue tho, a private company regulating its own product has nothing to do with a gov trying to restrict internet access to its citizens.
Open source it and upload to F-Droid? Or, if technically possible, build a PWA version.
I have experience in SAAS acquisitions . I am hoping to give you constructive feedback to also help others. Of course take it with a grain of salt:

1. First, 6X of what ? Revenue ? Profits ? I see a tendency these days that every seller thinks their small SAAS/app is worth 6x of revenue or even profits when most small businesses should not be priced more than 2.5x-4X of Profits (not revenue) max. Even software companies especially these small ones. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. Exceptions are if it is growing ultra fast like 100% year by year. Most that are sold don't. So you most likely overpaid in the first place.

People, a small business software app is not worth 6X usually as it is most likely not growing fast enough and even if, there are many factors to consider. THe higher multiples touted are usually for VC backed (which are overvalued anyway in my opinion). Don't get fooled into thinking that.

2. 2% churn. Did you vet the business before buying it ? What was the average churn for past 18-24 months before you bought the business ? Did you not ask the seller ? Perhaps that is standard in this industry. May be not.

2. "Basically we don’t know much and Shopify app ads are just a waste of money with no returns."

Big red flag. You bought something that you don't understand. Never ever do that just because it sounds like "Free Cashflow". Buying a business of any size is no joke. It is not passive income. It requires constant work. If you didn't understand how this can make money without ads, you made a big mistake again. A tech business is not software development. It is a business. You need to know how to sell, market and support the customers. You are realizing that now anyway.

3."We have fully re-written the apps to be modern"

Not at all important especially when you just buy something. The goal is to understand how to keep it going, reduce/minimize churn and only then you can think of enhancements. I don't know the Shopify Apps ecosystem so can't comment on why they pushed but in general, this is a bad idea early on.

I am sorry to say but you have bought something that you have no understanding of. I don't know if I could honestly tell you a way to figure out how to reduce the churn or do better. You may want to find a Shopify expert who knows how to market those apps and see if they can help. But at this point, you are bleeding cash because your revenue barely covers the loan itself. Start learning how to acquire customers in general for a business specifically for shopify apps. Start talking to the existing customers on what you can do to keep them happy.
The NEC V33 (1988) was a hardwired (not microcoded) version of the 286. The decision not to use microcode might be related to the long lawsuit between Intel and NEC over microcode.

Also, as krylon points out, RISC chips generally don't use microcode.
This is where you start to sympathize with the news people in Canada who want google to pay for links. If google just summarizes at scale, interdicts the traffic and revenue, where's the incentive to create content?

This is a failure mode for the information economy.

Debian is the only linux distro that has been able to manage an unbroken line of upgrades working across systems for many, many years. No other distro that I'm aware of has been able to do this without botching upgrades to the point that a reinstall was the only option left. That, and it's governance model and staying true to their mission are all major accomplishments.

It's a pity that Ian Murdock did not live to see his brainchild become 30. I owe that man a lot.

I read both of these books recently and I feel they are both worth a read. The Bartik autobiography has very little technical information but it's interesting to get an understanding of how things were for her.
For a first pass I highly recommend reading the Ethics backwards, and only focusing on the collaries and the notes at the end of each section. Ignore the axioms and proofs for the first few passes through the book.

The content and notes at the end of sections are much easier to read and quite beautiful.

When I first read Ethics in the order presented I was deeply confused as to why Spinoza was considered the "prince of philosophers". After revising my approach he's rapidly becoming one of my favorite.

Despite it's presentation, the Ethics is much better approached in a very non-linear fashion.

edit: I also recommend Deleuze's Spinoza: Practical Philosophy. If you've read Deleuze's other work you may or may not be put off by this recommendation, but his work on Spinoza covers a lot of ground an is very readable.
I’ve done this. Got really stabby with a craft knife because I couldn’t take it anymore.

Pretty much every one of those countries has a lower amount of students going to college, and have significantly higher taxes to pay for it.

The one I hate the most is file structure. In order for something to be a "package" it has be be in a `/lib` dir or some other magic name. I wanna nest modules and flatten their structure. If there were a flag to disable this, even if it meant I couldn't use any published third party lib or publish any packages, I would have many many new dart projects. I could probably extend my dislike of this to the entire import system. There are so many aspects of it that I dislike.

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman. (sci-fi, space opera) This book was interesting because its use of novel pronouns based on thee/thou (I think Mx. was around in the early seventies), and its use of wearables (rings instead of watches). I appreciated that the technology mostly worked according to spec, regardless of whether the spec was realistic, in that regard, parts of it felt very realistic, even though a lot of the book is satirical and/or clunky.
I do believe contextual link previews help with overall browsing UX. I like how Wikipedia has a summary when you hover over a link. Where this summary comes from does matter.

For those who don't like when Google summarizes content for you but like the idea of getting a link preview with a summary provided by the website owner via meta tags before navigating to a third-party website - I've built a product called Linkz.ai [0] - that allows website owners to install link preview popups with 1 line of code.

These are the sort of controversial articles on Hacker News I come here for.

I'm practice, it seems my life is easier to live with others if I use spaces. But the tab is conceptually simple. It means indent, or something almost like "next-column". Spaces mean separation from words or tokens. So you are creating a new token as a compound of existing tokens when the original token already exists.
