> "I find HN generally to be a very kind and loving community and on the whole people tend to be very thoughtful and constructive in their criticism."

More-so than literally any other social news site I've found on the Internet in recent years. And the news topics I find here are generally more interesting reading than many other sites I've found, too.
Reminds me of a student sketch from my days in nerd school, parodying Star Trek. A student dressed as one of the physics professors demonstrated that FTL travel was impossible, causing the Enterprise’s warp drives to stop functioning. It was fixed when Scotty said, “Wait, I’m an engineer: I don’t need to understand physics!”
Especially since I think they botched the whole splitting up of iTunes (which should have happened years earlier). I want to buy a digital movie from Apple. It does not occur to me to open the TV.app then click on Store and look for it there. What do you call the iPhone syncing and backup part on the Mac? I guess they were demoted to features in the Finder with nothing to refer to it.

Then there's Apple TV (the app--just shown as TV in many places), Apple TV (the set top device), AppleTV+ (the subscription service)...with the Apple icon swapped out in some places adding to the confusion.
The idea that you want to put yourself in harms way when you are no longer able to work is saddening. There are plenty of other things worth living for.

Meanwhile, working up the list of people in critical condition towards the healthy is a good thing.
If all western countries would not trade with China, that would certainly reflect negatively on their economy; earning foreign exchange is key to any developing country. I think focusing on this aspect is counterproductuve, however. The chinese made money becaused they produced goods at a lower cost (and, increasingly, more effeciently). A lot (most?) of China's growth is on the account of its exports. But I don't think that implies that it is due to what the west "allowed." Selling a product alone is what makes one deserve the reward. So I don't see how the first clause relates to the second clause of your first sentence.
Isn't there some way to generate electricity from temperature differential? It seems like solar thermal and ground source water could be an avenue for that.
The issue here is defining what indoor plumbing is. It was a small majority in 1940 if you include heated water, a bath, and a flush toilet exclusive to that dwelling unit.

If you include toilets alone and apartments with shared toilet facilities, the majority was reached a bit earlier-- around 1930, meaning that I judged indoor plumbing was rapidly becoming commonplace in the late 20s.

In 1923, a huge chunk of households still used kerosene lamps as a primary means of lighting (it was a decent percentage in 1940, even).
Incredible. Thanks for posting. This is an amazing podcast episode. What a life she led that was cut way too short.
There is a flagged on this page too. Life imitates art. (No dang yet though)
I think few people would say it's a "lesser evil" but something that is morally fine and should be legal (when no money is changing hands).

If you were, say, selling abandonware that's much more of a murky area, but just downloading a copy or giving people a copy of some data that is no longer sold - whoever has ended up with the copyright shouldn't be able to complain if they are not actually making it available for purchase - they shouldn't be able to claim any loss since by not selling it they are not being deprived of any revenue.

Of course, part of this is only a problem because copyright terms became absurdly long - if we had sane copyright terms like strictly 25 or 30 years from publication a lot of this stuff would be public domain by now anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to write that out - totally fair take.
If that's the case, then I applaud him. But considering the kind of BS he's been spewing for years, I don't think this is some kind of secret long-term plan to destroy Twitter; I think he really drinks his own kool-aid.
It's only bad because you don't know where else that data is going. Are companies selling your gaming activities to others who will use it to determine dexterity, intelligence, memory, distractability, psychology, sexual preferences, etc.

Gaming offline as much as possible might be the best way to protect yourself, but is also pretty limiting since some games offer desirable online content
Pretty fun, ~39,000/50,000. A lot of them were historical for me, such as the toppling of the Saddam Hussein statue, the Apollo moon landing trainings, and so on.
I got this same feeling a few trips ago to the vet. It was like all they cared about was trying to upsell me to put my dog out and clean her teeth. The nice assistant whispered to me “I wouldn’t do any of that to my shepherd” *wink.

Inevitably I had to go back since then and the next it seemed like they cut that crap as it wasn’t like that before and hasn’t been my last 2 trips. Still leaves bad taste in your mouth because you want to do the right thing but not get ripped off.
Why there’s no physical token as a passport yet!? Something like a yubico usb and can have it in the keychain would be ideal.
I think it has little material bearing on the situation, but our past has consequences, and one of which when you’re in a position of extreme trust is it impugns that trust every time your trustability comes up. It create a cloud and give opportunity to question - and if wrong doing is found it exacerbates the situation. In law this turns into more significant punishments, and a tendency to not give you credit where someone who lived without such issues would have been afforded it. You were, after all, already afforded such credit.

I know. In my life I’ve burned trust in similar ways (but not these specific ways). I have bipolar and when the police encounters someone with mania they arrest them. That leads to life long consequences. It doesn’t matter if it’s your fault, or if its due to a mental illness. The next time, you go to jail and no credit is given for a good life lived.
Thanks for sharing your facinating approach. By good eyesight do you mean 20/20?

Nah. I kept clicking, but the banner wouldn’t go away. :(
There's the Hypervisor framework, which is the low-level framework that replaces the need for a kernel extension for type 2 hypervisors, and then there's the more recent Virtualisation framework which is a more high-level framework for running VMs. QEMU's HVF uses the Hypervisor framework, and UTM also supports running VMs with the Virtualization framework (which is what Vimy and Viable also use). Note that the Virtualization framework also has support on Apple Silicon for running macOS guests as well as Linux guests.
Ask HN: Blog post about conversation/personality types?
Looking for a blog post I read via HN that covered different personality/conversation types - the main point I remember is when certain people talk they need to finish vs. others that will stop talking if interrupted.
Hey Michael! Love the project. Is it open-source, per chance? And if not, could it be?

Interesting. I definitely don't agree with that myself.

It sort of reminds me of the Philosophy of Mathematics[1], where there are some schools of thought that I consider vaguely ridiculous too. Like some schools of Platonism suggesting mathematical objects actually exist somehow instead of it just being a convenient linguistic shorthand.

This. I went recently and something about my eye axis(?) or something was off a bit (which somehow most Americans have?) and mentioned how it’s causing eyestrain. There’s special lenses that correct for this that is… SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS more just for the lenses. Mind you, my glasses are usually really affordable because I have a weak prescription. I was dumbfounded when I heard the price.
As someone who grew up in America, this cultural shift seems seriously weird to me. I guess it's just a symptom of Americans' extremist individualism, just like the trend in the last couple decades for parents to invent utterly ridiculous names for their kids.
This.

My uncle (Uncle Bill) was fascinated with actors and ended up being good friends with a lot. He took pics and slides for years and years and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences asked for them. Well before he died he packed up a significant portion of his collection and sent them off. After he died, we gathered more and sent them out.

Now that my mother is moving in with me and we are cleaning out, yet again, and packing, I've found more slides. Some were from Uncle Bill and others were from my father's side of the family. I had never seen them before. Kinda cool, but not something to keep. So I bundled them up with several other items and off to the historical society they went. Over the past three years, I've shipped probably 10 boxes of all manner of stuff. Family bibles, mortgages, pictures, diaries, correspondence, etc. I've been told that some students have been helping catalog and have found the diaries and correspondence, in particular, interesting. What they were reading was written by my aunt (who married a professor of philosophy and member of the International Red Cross) as she traveled with my uncle, Colonel, around the world.

So glad they are being taken care of and are of interest to at least a few.

Unless you are heating the house with a heat pump.
I wish it was typed though. So many times I’ve seen a function that takes a hash of “options” or “config” and have no idea what that actually contains. Even for official rails methods it’s often complex to know what the possible options are. Some of them seem almost internal with how obscure they are.

That's kind of Apple's tiered upselling plan, isn't it? ;-/

But as an Apple user I concur completely. The awful experience of bloated apps (or multiple VMs) slowing your system to a crawl isn't worth the few hundred dollars you saved by opting for a lower memory SiP.
Remember: The Richter Scale is exponential.
Ancient humans are thought by some researchers to have done much the same. The deep underground artworks in some French caves are said to be evidence of humans escaping the cold.

There's a reason I can think of that it might not work so well again.
Lots of non-human animals survived the cold quite well, so there was game for those ancient ancestors to hunt, but there might be much less game surviving in great heat.

It is interesting with Captchas that ML is faster than people now. I wonder how many people like me intentionally mis-time their input?

Note also that offline gaming still can send cookies via OS when the OS detects IP connection.
There was a NPR episode about this (forgot the exact show, might have been planet money). Apparently a ton of vets are being bought out by private companies. Back then, vets would sell to one of the younger vets in their practice when they retire. These private companies are out competing in terms of price hence all these upsell.
Personally, I don't like the normalization of my every action being spied on by huge corporations.

If it was just going to be used by the devs to fix bugs, _and_ it was either opt in or very obvious opt out, I'd be ok with it. But fixing bugs is only one tiny aspect of why these corporations want to track you. And as far as I can see, there's no way to opt out at all short of blocking IP ranges with a PiHole.
> Shouldn’t physics focus much more on the underlying micro states and micro processes than the emergent phenomena? Obviously there needs to be a transition, but at some point you go from physics to engineering.

1. The boundaries between disciplines are where they are in part by historical accident, and in part because that's what the people working in them find useful - there is no actual fact of the matter.

2. We don't actually know the underlying microprocesses of anything. Effective theories are all we have, and there's no fundamental difference between an effective theory for the vacuum (if it is a vacuum) and one for, say, the bulk of a semiconductor.
Not really I mean, there’s a fundamental difference between speaking and listening and reading and writing, but changes dynamics in weird ways.

That's a pretty narrow niche. No matter how much you don't want them, there's only a few years or so when you can mostly get by without them, once the amblyopia has begun.

My reading glasses have blue light blocking, though it wasn't a feature I was looking for and I buy them in packs of six for about $25.
Wow that's a huge number, although not surprising given the number of people we come across, still didn't expect that high of a number!

Wondering why people do it, art or what are we missing?
Excellent idea. Let me know if you end up posting it anywhere — I deal with legacy media all day and am always looking for new tricks.
But seriously, why we always hear people claim they feel better after wearing blue filter glasses?! I am pretty sure everyone had heard such stories, then if it is not useful, why?
Given how heavily mathematical physics is this isn't surprising. Some mathematical concepts themselves can take a couple of months to learn to a sufficient level, especially if you include the prerequisites.

Because data is being collected about them without informed consent, and without any basis to believe the collectors interests align entirely with their own?
Agreed, but they didn't ask the indoor plumbing question in the earlier censuses because it wasn't worth asking.
She was such a kind and impressive human, and inspired so much of my career. I can’t believe she’s just gone. This is heartbreaking.
It's only "generic term.app" on your device. Full name is "Apple generic term".

True, but the multi-line comments give me the ick, and there's still no standard for bigints.
Sonic keeps the dream alive with girls on roller skates delivering burgers and fries to your car. It was like paradise to me, especially as a roller derby fan, except I don't own a vehicle and I seldom had an excuse/reason to dine there.
Cool, so does a feel good piece about the Beatles count as satisfying "intellectual curiosity"? Or is it just a story about a celebrity?

Again, I'm not making a claim one way or the other, but it's hardly an invalid question.

Or, at least, I thought so, but at least a couple of people were mad enough to press the downvote button. Go figure.
Ask HN: Best way to open up an internal API between your two servers
We are a small startup of 5 people. Between people coming in and out and poor technical decisions, we ended up with two backend: one in Ruby and one in Go. Both are serving public data via a federated GraphQL API. Most of business domain logics are encapsulated in one server. But we have some shared logic that needs to be implemented in both. Instead of duplicating logic, I want to write these shared 'services' in the new backend (Go) and expose an internal API for Ruby to consume. What's the low lift way for a startup to implement something like this? Is it just a simple REST API consumed via JSON with an API key in the header?
Probably status.

Is there any equivalent of losslesscut or vidcutter for images (jpeg, png)? The one I'm aware of is cropgui. Wondering if there is another alternative
I haven't, like most people I guess it'll be at least half a decade until I upgrade to a 40 series card.

> What is more shocking to me is how low they got the latency on it

Most games are perfectly playable at a stable 30fps (33.3ms latency at least). The frame generation is hopefully giving you 90-120fps. So you're getting latency sub 16.6ms, equivalent to stable 45-60fps. That will usually only be noticeable in drawing apps or twitchy FPS games.

Maybe they're doing some other tricks like decoupling input latency from frame latency, I haven't looked into it. It's common to do this with physics, in the opposite direction (e.g. run physics at a fixed 33.3ms interval while generating frames as fast as possible, aiming for 60fps).
I don't see a SINGLE comment in any of these examples that threadjacks to discuss CSS or font kerning. This absence breaks my suspension of disbelief entirely. Something to work on for future iterations.

Ask HN: How to View Site's Cookies?
Sorry if this is a dumb question. Maybe I'm just totally misremembering it.

I swear that on both chromium based browsers and Firefox that you use to be able to view and edit cookies by pressing a button near the URL at the top while on the page. This doesn't seem to be an option anymore. I can see the cookie count in their and can redirect myself to the settings page (which doesn't seem to show the individual cookies either).

How can I quickly access a site's cookies? Thanks!
> 10x wealth from the poor of a world

The middle class of Asia happily became the workhorse of the US. The median quality of life for the planet improved, but that was about technology and efficiency of the systems moving about goods...to the richer countries profiting.

I think it less establishes a motive but aggravates any charges brought against her that might include lapses of judgement. Leniency only goes so far, and once you’ve burned chances, things get more severe progressively. Now that it’s in the national spot light, she better hope her nose is totally clean and nothing comes back on her, or her past leniency will play a favor in how severe she is judged.
Off-topic, but why this story is so low on the front page?

A ton of upvoted, not many comments (so no indication of flamewar), still is below position 25 for several hours (with much better upvote-to-hours ratio than most of stories above it).

Just weird.
It seems like an utterly bizarre perspective.

If you watch the recent Sean Ryan podcast with the current owner Brandon fugal, as well as Jeffrey Mishloves new thinking aloud interview with Bigelow, you can obtain more details about the history, which seem to be missing or incorrect in your presentation.

The sale to Shermans was for merely $200,000. And Bigelow didn’t solicit the DoD’s interest: after he’s been out there a while they came calling to him.

Where did you even get your version of the details from? What motivated your bizarre take?

Also, the most interesting aspect of this article is the Hitchhiker effect and Models of Contagion.
Ugh… Safari being overly helpful.
My hope is that Meta somehow winds up with it and rebrands Threads to Twitter.
Right. So if I run a charity for, say, helping low power FM community radio stations and I collect a bunch of money, and then give it to a political group advocating for legalization of cannabis, you'd think that was okay because you don't expect anything in return? It'd be your fault for not knowing I'd changed my charity's mission from the previously publicized LPFM community project to diversify out into legalization efforts. It'd be too bad that no one wrote an article updating you on the change in my hypothetical charity's "mission". And if they did do so, would you call it a hit piece?
For the mathematically inclined, the best I've seen is An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics by Morton Gurtin from 1981. At one point, it could be purchased from Google books directly as a pdf.

Ive been across a bunch of rebranding and it seems far more often a vanity project by a manager, than a performance focused decision.

Also there is almost always a heavey focus on visual elements vs content and other strategy as for most people that's the fun stuff.

Nice tool! I can see a ton of uses for this especially given that MQTT is fast emerging as the default for a number of IoT apps. Couple of things

1. Do you plan to offer this as a tool that could be embedded within other platforms. A number of enterprises already have a dashboard tool and dont want another one.
2. How would this work for someone who is using mqtt but needs some calculations done or related metrics to be inferred before displaying on the graph.
