I discovered that having my phone next to my bed makes it too easy to say ‘ah, I can’t sleep, let’s just check HN for a while’, and it also makes it too easy to turn off my alarm in the morning. I’ve started putting it at the other end of my room before sleeping, and so far the results are promising.

I guess I'm obliged to clear up your misconceptions.

1) Yes, there's lots of bugs, that's why there's a gitlab where you can report them and we fix them. We didn't make most of these bugs, they were inherited from previous developers. If you'd bothered to check, you'd know that we resolve about 100 issues a month.

2) That death bug you mentioned was rare, hard to reproduce, and fixed within 2 hours of us finding out about it :)

3) The dummies don't stop at 8 attack, they stop at combat level 8. You'd know if you bothered to spend 5 seconds doing any real research, I imagine this is applicable to at least another 50% of the "bugs" you say you logged but never reported (I wonder why that was?)

4) We did not do an emergency patch to fix this thing you believed was a bug, because it wasn't. You're just directly making that up.

5) You were banned because you explicitly stated a very clear malicious intent to, and I quote from you ingame, "take advantage of this before I report it". Bug abuse is zero tolerance. When I confronted you about this in game, you literally said something along the lines of "I was only pretending to be retarded"

6) PKing was not a thing in 2009, therefore its nonexistence is not custom content. Again, if you had done 5 seconds of research...

7) Again, you were banned for explicitly stating an intent in public to abuse bugs before reporting them, and sharing details of abusable bugs with other players. Both of these things get anyone banned.
The solution is to stay away from poor content creators such as LTT.

I'd rather want a filter that filters all videos that have '...reacts to...' in the title or certain channels such as LTT that get pushed to my front page, even though I really, really don't want to see them.
Upgrading to a WI-FI mesh that worked well for my home has had the largest impact for me. I've always liked to be flexible with where I'm working in the house but many spots had very degraded WI-FI signals. Working in the backyard on a nice day, going upstairs and doing some laundry while in a more passive meeting or temporarily changing my "office" are all fine from a WI-FI perspective now.

I've also picked up a standing desk recently. While it is too soon to say, I think I'm already seeing a positive impact on my back. Getting that ergonomic desk setup is probably the more universally helpful thing.
The Metropolitan museum used to sell just a thing about Islamic Arms and Armor in its collection. Might still be for sale.
The headline is misleading. The cited source in the article only talks about the included charging cable and not what limitations the phone has. A more accurate headline would be "iPhone 15 to Ship with USB 2.0-Speed USB-C Cables".

All USB-C charging cables that come with phones and laptops have USB 2.0 data transfer speeds. That includes flagship Samsung phones.
I would find this funny, if not each and every one of these represents a potential bug in software. Some are really esoteric (like the name mangling example) but many are something you might do accidentally.

Sadly, there are no easy paths to fix this because compatibility (https://xkcd.com/1172/), but for greenfield projects which aren't expected to be small throwaway projects, using Python is not necessarily a very good idea.
Interestingly, Google apps (1P) are subject to the same review process, and can also get hung up. I experienced 72 hour waits to roll out an APK update.

Not really consolation, but interesting to note.
It gives more airspace to free ads for startups in Show HN than it does to it’s own companies to be fair.
Meditation is one way to stop doing that. OTOH, it doesn’t mean you’ll sleep either.
The irony of you insulting them over something they “probably” did - something you publicly accuse them of, but haven’t such as as asked about.
Probably more an annoyance for developers repeatedly deploying large games/apps
I've used Kernza flour alot and would love to see it take off more. It has a nice flavor, hard to describe but sort of like a cross between wheat and oats or rye to me.

The issues I've run into is that it's relatively expensive and doesn't have prominent gluten. So it's best used in pastries or baked goods that you'd use a softer wheat for, like muffins, biscuits, or pancakes. Maybe that will change over time as other varieties are developed?

I was surprised to read about the farmer with the backlog of Kernza. It's very new and has been relatively hard to find. I imagine he's running into price issues, or connecting with buyers.
I can not find the better variant that was more theoretical with exhaustiveness theorem, but on the practical side this applies to more or less any symbolic system that performs tree search among statements. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_Theorist

Because I was tired and work was painful, I wanted some rest but YT injected some garbage content. They've exploited my vulnerable mental state to manipulate me into clicking, but I didn't like the content. Should I support predators?
Replacing the YouTube client on tvOS/iOS/macOS with

https://github.com/yattee/yattee

and using either

https://github.com/iv-org/invidious
https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

as backend is a nice alternative.
Kind of agree. Wish there was still some prestige with 'basic science'. The day-to-day plugging away. The big breakthroughs wouldn't happen without the basic building blocks, but the basics don't get the funding or the glamor.

And of course, corporate greed that just wants to suck up the breakthroughs.

But seems like we are at an impasse with current structures. We've reached some stability points that are not good, but have entrenched interests.

It's all Moloch.

> In an 8 week period over summer, the candidate learned ios programming, identified a problem that was impacting customers, proposed a fix, and was able to release the fix to customers. When he demonstrated the issue and his fix to the engineering team, it was clear that he had spent long hours working with the app.

This is actually faint praise that this was the right decision. Finding and fixing a bug (there is no mention of how tricky or complicated it was) is often the warm up project for an internship to get them familiar with the code base before doing something more ambitious.

The fact that the presentation demonstrated “spent long hours working with the app” and not some particular insight or ability is also telling.

As others have mentioned this whole story smells of nepotism.
People do not like to be fooled. As others have said, first listen. Then respond by planting seeds about where they are getting their science and facts. The seed that gets people out of cults is when they realize they've been duped. Unfortunately emotional wins over rational every time.
Why not using an alternative to Google play store, at least as a fallback in case of emergency...
I used this for a while, combined with (usually once, before the breathing technique) a sort of "bed yoga" thing, tightening muscles and then relaxing them until I start to feel at-one with the bed, an unusual feeling I can't much describe.

I now don't have to consciously do the breathing counts or the exercise; my brain and body can find their way to that same place with just careful, slow breathing with the long exchale, and a focus on that feeling.

But on its own, the 4-7-8 trick is enormously impressive. You don't even have to trust that it works. Though no caffeine after 2pm probably helps too.
I dont like it either

For me it looks like an old pals network with a sense of elitism.

All us mates who can afford it can add paywalled links just for us to read together.

Oh good one stevie, I really liked the (paywalled) link on hackernews this morning.

Shame about the blebs (non IT specialists) not being able to read it eh!

It is not inclusive
Actually I'm often surprised just how much out there is actually available with no_std feature options?

There's obviously a lot of need for improvement in Rust in regards to small systems, as people have pointed out. But there's also a lot more middle ground in Rust vs, say, C++: You can be no_std and still have Vector, for example, while in C++ the STL is an all-or-nothing thing.

It's a smaller community, and it will come down to individuals deciding it's important and making contributions.
Ask HN: Flutter vs. React Native vs. Swift/Kotlin
I have been trying to get my feet wet in mobile development, but I don't know what is the best way to start. So far I've explored Flutter and React Native. There seems to be a steep learning curve when it comes to Flutter.

I'd like to know more from the community
This original source does not say anything about what the phone will support. It is about the charging cable that is included.
Cells in different locations produce different chemical markers. These markers spread out through the tissue and create a sort of gradient. By observing the gradient, a cell can know where it is (or at least what it's supposed to do).

At least that's the explanation as I've understood it.
I mean I have a pretty standard $250 or so Weber. No bells and whistles, no apps. It takes propane and has enough surface for me to do 8 patties comfortably and has a small rack above it for things that just need to be warmed up more or less. I like having things that last but it's going on idk...year 4 now? And I just need to replace grates at this point. I just can't see myself buying a $1000+ grill because I don't grill every day/week and the $250 has done perfectly well for me. I don't think it's safe to assume tons of folks want bluetooth for their grill and that's what drives them to go cheap.
I guess my point is, either the content has some value to you or not. If you’d rather not sit through the ad for the content, that’s fine, go and spend your time doing something that does have value to you.

I use YouTube primarily as a diy reference manual. It’s infrequent enough that I don’t want to pay for a subscription. I will however exchange a small bit of time in order to get the content, because it has value to me at that moment.
I think your article is less likely to have the investigation beginning with the post office and more likely to have affects of multiple regular people not being OK with something, and being present.

Such involved parents could never let anything happen arguments ignore how these things develop as less involved parents cargo cult. (You can't get much more blatant in a drop in actual involvement than the example in the article.)

These kinds of groups connecting themselves to actual home schooling will erode it by association.
Back then, your suggestions were niche languages (and some still are) and are still not popular for embedded systems or network equipment. Large runtimes or huge static binaries are not suitable due to the memory and storage constraints.

You have to consider the surrounding ecosystem. Those interested in such languages are not necessarily those interested in contributing solutions to the problem space. Any project attempting to use such a language in OpenWrt would very likely not have survived until today.
There's an arrow down on the page, but it doesn't scroll down on Firefox. There's only the hero as content.
It was working with Android 12+ before without problems. Upgrading API target level made some flags mandatory (for PendingIntent to be specific), which throw RuntimeException. But as I also wrote in the article itself then this is a legacy application, which does not seen any active development for more than a year and tasks like these need to prioritized instead of other active developments and since app was working after testing then it didn't seem to be that a big of a deal. However, should have been tested on newer Androids too. But even when the problem happened in production then I was not that worried since Google reviews usually take few hours max. The problem is that it has been taken so long for now and there's no way to cancel/pause/delete latest faulty release. That's the scariest part.

>At least - thanks to the EU - soon they can all share the same USB-C charger

Good luck with that... I've a very nice dell laptop a client gave me to access their network. It uses USB-C (90W) for charging. Recently I had another dell laptop shipped to me by another client for the same purpose. This one too uses USB-C charger, but a 130W one.

A 130W charger had a broken plug so I attempted to use the 90W charger to charge the 130W laptop. You knew w what happened? It started charging and in under a minute it detected this as a "wrong" charger. It stopped charging and it would not boot with the 90W charger plugged in.

So if we can't use USB-C to swap chargers between two very similar devices made by the same manufacturer, what hope is there for having a truly "universal" charger? Yes, the 130W laptop couldn't possibly pull 130W from the 90W charger, but why couldn't it throttle, the cpu? Set the built in gpu to the igpu mode (yes it has both a igpu and another nVidia one)? Sad.

As for travelling with devices. I have been travelling with a laptop + cellphone forever. Few years ago I bought a little "convertible" laptop. I think it originally run windows 7. I installed Linux on it (with xfce desktop). It is essentially a tablet with a power of a laptop and detachable keyboard. I expected the keyboard interface to fail very quickly, but it hasn't. This way I have the convenience to browse the Web on a tablet, or plug the keyboard in and do actual work.
In your position I would advise moving just a bit further south, ie to Switzerland.
I am convinced that a good/great quality directional microphone with a pop-filter is a godsend for WFH. Here's why:

* Directionality matters because extraneous sounds in a home can be very distracting for listeners. For example, say the dishwasher is running. Or you answered a call before turning down the radio. Or a neighbor is mowing. Or, in a highrise, your balcony door is open.

* In conversation your semi-verbal cues like a tsk, a grunt, or an audible sigh can carry surprising weight. It's nice to know these can get through and convey how you feel without having to actually say it.

I consider my good microphone, mounted on an adjustable boom stand, complete with a pop-filter, along with some commonsense audio conveyance awareness, is my secret superpower.
Except there’s an obvious failure of the market when the true cost of something is not borne by the producer or the consumer. Negative externalities lead to an overproduction and overconsumption of goods or services because the market price does not reflect the true social costs. Which can have detrimental effects on society and the environment. Not to mention the misallocation of resources that one day we may well bitterly regret.
> What can I use to cache with MSVC that isn't Incredibuild?

Ccache works, but if you use the Visual Studio C++ compiler you need to configure your build to be cacheable.

They’ve been trying to stop this recently FYI.
> My son just told me that alef (in the Hebrew alphabet) was the symbol for Graham's number, but balks when I try to get him to memorize his multiplication tables.

I, too, learned about Graham's number when the YouTube algorithm decided that I liked math videos.

The issue with learning like this, though, is that it's called "edutainment," and, while it scratches the same itch in our brains as learning, rarely actually produces learnings.

Ask him in a week what he remembers about Graham's number. I'd be impressed if he recalled much.

Also, if he had a good teacher, that teacher would have been able to push back when he was mixing up concepts. Aleph is not the symbol for Graham's number, rather it is the symbol for Cantor's orders of infinity.
It's possibly just that you're noticing it. Tech people on the internet have been like this for as long as I can remember the internet (31 years in my case).

Sometimes intolerably smugly, like Jack Dorsey.
People really enjoy not paying for externalities.

Cars have utility but also disutility - a lot of the latter is not priced in.
Don't bother. If they've accepted non-man-made climate change liken the situation to being in a locked room that is on fire. Are you going to just sit there and burn because you specifically didn't light the fire? Or will you try to find a fire extinguisher.
Got it, thanks! For context, Im at Credal.ai (an LLM governance platform), and we have a shared customer who I'm pretty sure does fall into that description with you (use Cody for all their devs), and keeps asking us about whether they can use Cody in conjunction with Credal.ai (bring your own LLM account is probably all that would be needed to support this). We'd also be open to contributing this for what its worth!
By "real" I mean a chair actually designed for 7-hours a day 5-days a week usage and warrantied as such. Ergonomics and build quality is key. Expect to pay around $1K.
It's just the charging cable, it seems it does not have all the wires to support USB 3.
How do you check for None?
That recent pushback has been a bit exhausting, even more so than a hype preceding it. At least the hype was full of hope and excitement, the recent pushback is full of snide (and often unwarranted) I-told-you-so and a taste of luddite.

I guess that's how the pendulum goes.
If it harms nobody and gets people talking, that’s fine. They’re not blocking ambulances from getting to hospitals. They’re not interfering with existing rides. I’m all for this.
It definitely ain’t quid pro quo, but that is too nice, they shouldn’t be tracking full stop. I use ublock origin and premium btw
Two of the buried Black Sabbath albums: Headless Cross and Tyr. Tony Martin and Cozy Powell really bring their A game on Tyr; Jerusalem and Valhalla are some of the best works in the Sabbath discography IMO. HC also has its stand-outs, of particular note is When Death Calls which features a guitar solo by Brian May of Queen.
Agreed, paywalls are a nuisance, I'll often click on a story before noticing its source, also the text size is smaller for the source and I don't recognize every paywall.

There's a compromise solution, HN could put a red dot or similar next to the article show it's behind the paywall.
A) OP, I'm glad you're passionate about the home we all currently live on. But please conduct a thought experiment and replace some of the terms like "Climate Change" in some of your sentences with the religious deity of your choice. If you did that, you might notice that you're coming across as something of a zealot, and maybe aren't yet at the right stage of your development to be persuasive in these matters. Is putting yourself on a road to losing your friendship worth it to you?

B) As something of a "climate denier" myself (whatever the hell that label means), I'd say that the biggest problem with these discussions is people are often lumping a few different concepts into one general group and then begging you to accept that general label.

These concepts are the following:

1) Human activity impacts the Earth's temperature.

2) This impact on the Earth's temperature necessarily leads to catastrophic harm.

3) The only solution to this is measures like trying to limit human reproduction, increased government control of the economy, and only using certain fashionable energy sources like solar and wind while eschewing nuclear energy.

One can agree that concept 1 reflects reality, or concept 1 + 2 reflects reality, while having a completely different approach to concept 3.
Some of the things that make most difference to me

* Teleprompter so you can look at camera and the person you're talking to at the same time. Significantly reduces zoom fatigue for me.

* A bright key light. As well as meaning you can be seen on camera I've found it significantly improves my mood having a bright light in front of me that's diffuse enough to not dazzle.

* Bone conduction headphones are significantly more pleasant than traditional headphones/earphones for long days of meetings

* Decent microphone. Recommend Shotgun mic or lapel mic if you have ambient sound.

* Decent chair (good second hand options from failed startups)

* A decent camera (reused a mirrorless I already had)

* Decent coffee machine

* Large monitor

* Wacom tablet for diagraming

* Aircon (in UK this is uncommon but climate warming means it's unpleasant to be without for more of the year)

* Streamdeck for automating common tasks
One aspect I've learned about is what I wrote in a different comment:

Cells in different locations produce different chemical markers. These markers spread out through the tissue and create a sort of gradient. By observing the gradient, a cell can know where it is (or at least what it's supposed to do).
At least that's the explanation as I've understood it.
It was clear from the context that he was talking about traditional Linux desktops with Gnome, KDE etc; not systems that happen to use the Linux kernel as a base but are otherwise completely different.

(That's the case for Android at least; I'm not sure about the Steam Deck.)

Android could swap out Linux for some other kernel (e.g. Fuchsia) relatively easily and users wouldn't notice. Google already did that with the Nest Hub.
> This of course goes against the natural inclination of rich people.

I don't think that's true at all. If there are no poor people nearby, you can't have any servants.
Ask HN: Has anyone sold company options on HiiveMarket
I have an accepted bid on Hiive market to sell some of my companies stock options. I wanted to know if anyone had gone through that process with that company
My mom worked night shifts as a nurse most of her life. It gave her the opportunity to be with us during the day but also took a toll on her sleep habits and health. She had a lot of trouble sleeping so she said she would just lie still in bed and that would get her _some_ rest. At least most rest than she would get by actively trying to sleep.
Thanks, I do think room aesthetics for people play a large role in their decisions. I just hope they don't keep sacrificing ergonomics.

The Herman Miller Embody is a wild mix of both at a $1,500-$2,000 price tag.

The kinds of chairs selling to gen z and millenials seem to be reflective of what the youtubers and streamers use.
I second the standing desk recommendation. I've been working remote since '04, and a standing desk is very good for lower back issues.
You're not just paying $2 or 5$. You're paying by the fact that you have to "login" to remove those ads with that measly $2.
Definitely a laptop computer.
But how does that help end-users? They would still need to know that they need to use different store etc. It's a pain. At least Android allows (relatively) easy side-loading APK's for the most critical situations, but for iOS that would be a disaster (not sure if Apple's App Store has a way to delete/cancel/pull-back faulty release though).
I trust (with regards to privacy, censorship and bias) governments even less than Google to be honest.
- A good chair

- A decent pair of wireless noise-cancelling headphones

- Two decent-sized monitors and a full-size keyboard. Don't try to work on a laptop keyboard/screen all day.
