Only because you live in Europe, where iMessage is useless because everyone picked Whatsapp and Telegram first. In the US it's the opposite: everyone picked iMessage[0]. The irony of this is that iMessage might actually be helped in the EU by the EU trying to break Apple's US monopoly on iPhones.

[0] I suspect the reason for this is because free texting was the norm in the US while EU carriers charged per message. While iMessage was free in both cases, it relies on you knowing that green bubbles are green because they cost money, whereas "just install Whatsapp and its free" is easier to know.
If machines can hallucinate in text form, they surely can hallucinate in maps.
> 3. No matter how much you plan, unexpected problems will arise while building.

So we're ignoring this, or what?

But otherwise, yes, I've long maintained that waterfall is actually iterative done badly. Nice to see it recognised.
You’re old. Almost no one has that muscle memory anymore. Hell almost no one listens to the radio anymore, people listen to Spotify or podcasts.
Stress if you’re looking for more precise language.
> "Waterfall" has become a straw man

It was always intended to be. Royce told that it was risky and invited failure and that organizations should include things like iterative processes to hedge against those risks. Basically, it was created to use as an example of what not to do.
Seems cool! I saved a link that looked interesting to me and bookmarked the top-level "About" page so I can spend some more time browsing around sometime soon.

Thanks for making something focused on reading & the small web. :)

Physical activity isn't very effective for fat loss, but it's great for so many other things. It's the closest thing to a magic pill that we have.
Lack of a sale or advertisement of any merchandise would be fatal to such a claim, at least in this jurisdiction.
Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will -- Joseph Goebbels
That doesn't sound true, but they did make one of the best shooters (America's Army) and released it for free as an advertisement basically.
I don’t like this car, it’s infantilizing. Feels like you’re in a Pixar movie driving this thing.
Actually at the time Ford's in-car entertainment was more integrated than most. Unlike others, they fitted own-brand audio systems which were either non-standard shapes and hard to replace, or they were built in entirely. I think what we see here's just an afterthought that got added late in the design process.
I really love how it looks, and congrats on getting it live.

Immediate feedback:

- a page, obviously linked from a banner / menu which describes what this thing is, how it works and who it is for. It may be obvious(ish) to HN but don’t assume anyone else will know what you’re trying to do
- more images.
- some way of marking stuff read, otherwise you always get the same list
- the “in app” reading is interesting, I don’t know how this affects any traffic to included links? You may run into friction if all the reading happens here on your app?
Manuals suck in traffic. Americans sit in a lot of traffic.

And I say this as somebody who loves manuals (I’m an amateur race car driver).
Your point is that popularity means that it will improve.

This is true, to a point.

EDIT: that comment was glib, let me do a proper counterpoint.

Common area's are some of the most least maintained in reality; I can think of meet-me-rooms or central fibre hubs in major cities; they are expensive and subject to a lot of the whims of the major provider.

Crucially, despite large amounts of investment, the underlying architecture or infrastructure remains, even if the entire fabric of the area changes around it. Most providers using these kind of common areas do everything they can to avoid touching the area itself, especially as after a while it becomes very difficult to navigate and politically charged.

Fundamentally the architecture of Linux's network stack, really is, "good enough", which is almost worse than you would originally think since "good enough" means there's no reason to look there. There is an old parable about "worse is better" because if something is truly broken people will put effort into fixing it.

Linux's networking stack is fine, it's just not quite as good an architecture as the FreeBSD one. FreeBSD one has a lot less attention on it but fundamentally it's a cleaner implementation and easier to get much more out of..

You will find the same argument ad infinitum regarding other subjects such as Epoll vs IOCP vs kqueue (Epoll was abysmally terrible though and ended up being replaced by IO_URING, but even that took over a decade)
Running and cycling to work is a sure bet to get some exercise in even if you have kids.
I simply can't take a source like this seriously.

It's great for backpacking as it weighs much less and takes up less space in your pack. All you have to do is add water, shake it up, and your drink is ready in less than 15 seconds. Maybe the astronauts can take advantage too.
any reasonably multithreaded http server with nginx infront should easily serve 500+ requests per second, on something like a 5€/month hetzner VPS (x86, you get 2x the cores if you choose arm but thats a new offer so ill pretend it doesnt exist).

Only then will it cause significant delay. If your service drops connections at 500+ requests per second, something is off - You can configure quite the large accept backlog, like a few thousand, and you should only get an additional few ms delay per additional request.

If you're bottlenecked anywhere, it shouldnt drop connections until its like very very bad.

Thats assuming you need to access a DB or do other checks -- static content servers should start struggling on a 2-4 core system at around 10k requests per second, but that doesn't really matter for this.
Ask HN: How to encourage development team to expand their knowledge base
I am in need of advice for how to expand the knowledge base of my development team. Curious if anyone who has been on either side of the situation has feedback.

Background: I was a developer for 15 years. Worked for 5+ different companies, programming in 3 or 4 different programming languages. Got to work with a huge range of amazing developers, learning all kinds of things from them.

5 years ago I followed the HN thing and started my own SaaS. Had slow but steady growth, and now have a team of a few developers (+ various other people not related to this post). All of my current developers were actually migrations from other departments, they were smart and taught themselves (with some guidance of course) how to code, and are day in and day out churning out "fine" code. We have a code review process and very good test coverage and seem to generally move the product in the right direction.

The problem is - because the current developers have learned from me, I am seen as their guru. They only know the things that I know, and generally just believe what I say. I say unit tests are good, so they follow my lead and write unit tests. I say React is a fine front end framework - they nod and learn enough react to do the job. But at the end of the day, it feels like they are very much stuck as knowing a subset of what I know. Nothing new never appears, they don't throw out an opinion of like "maybe UI tests are not worth the effort due to X, Y, Z".. it's just a matter of doing what they were told and keeping the ship moving.

Another example of where this is a problem is solving a hard bug. They will work together of course and see if anyone else knows the bugs. They are very good at googling, and will google the crap out of it. But if no answer on Google and no one at the company knows? They are just stuck. Wait for me to go figure it out (which will often be like, I have no idea how this works - let me go post to a forum of react developers and get some expertise), or just spin the tires and be stuck on the current problem.

How do I break out of this cycle? I can make my next hire a senior developer with say 10 years of experience at other companies. Will this help, or will my current team just become the combination of <my skills + new developer skills>? I am happy to pay for say going to classes or any kind of training, but my developers don't even find a class they want to book. They expect me to find a class, book it for them, and tell them what days to do. I want them to grow, learn new things that I don't know. And move past knowing a subset of what I know to knowing more and different things that I do not know.

Or do I just go eh, at least I have developers to write the code I want, and I just shrug and move on?
It's not, but what percentage of new questions has come into that dataset since then?
They’ve banned Teslas from government compounds and big state-owned companies for a few years. There are even occasional reports of Tesla cars being diverted from certain roads for reasons the police wouldn’t disclose.

Edit: It could be retaliations against US sanctions. But there’s a difference: All these kinds of orders are made without any written documents. These are just part of the general decline of the rule of law in China, which there weren’t much to begin with.
I've always wanted to know if anyone has studied the psychological difficulties in establishing exercise routines in people suffering from these afflictions. My experience has been finding the motivation is incredibly hard.
>That isn't possible for software simply because reverse engineering is not simple

Nor is repairing a car. It is not as hard as you think to RE some random IoT device firmware.
Sexual preference and genetic material are very different from sexual activity and genetic data. These privacy polices are always very broad (not saying this is a good thing). The multitude of microphones in cars can easily accidentally (or purposefully) record sex acts. A camera to detect driver awareness (for auto cruise or sleep alarms) can detect your eye color, which could be construed as genetic data. Idk if airbags deploy based on weight on seats (i.e. less powerful for smaller people), but weight data is health data.

I'm not so pessimistic that I think the Toyota techs are swabbing your car and sending it over to 23andMe.
Android started as an independent company outside of Google and was acquired later because it was succeeding.

Gmail competes primarily on having highly deliverable email due to its massive adoption. This is part of the problem of email in general, and not necessarily a good thing about gmail.

iOS - see android. Heck even Ubuntu has a phone OS, or did? There would be competitors here.

WhatsApp has a million competitors.

We're not talking about amazon or windows afaik? But Amazon is mainly competitive because it is a giant logistics network which isn't tech related and afaik not really something the EU generally takes issue with.

Windows is already dying (it has ads in its start menu!!) and has had competitors for ages, both Linux and Mac.

TikTok is notable primarily because it's good at addicting users which I think is something the EU would again be fine to lose.
They certainly do bend. You can stack Lego pieces into a circle, like https://www.instructables.com/Lego-Circle/ . I've done the same with (enough) Duplo.
What is with the URL? stocks.apple.com redirects to wsj.com?
That was evident from your comment and the reason I didn't pose the question to you.

You are hardly "giving yourself over to your materials, framing, and exposure, and being delighted by the results even if they aren’t exactly what you expect."
The reason this works is beyond the chemical benefits. We are story driven creatures and physical activity gives us the feeling that we have accomplished something positive. Optimism about the future is very important and also accomplishing goals makes us feel optimistic. You can also get similar benefits by doing any small task which is meaningful to you.
and I quote "I am sure this could be calculated mathematically, but I prefer a more quick, practical way."
The top rated answer was math, but it ignored the possibility that a section of track would be under tension to avoid intersecting with itself. For a mathematical curve that’s no issue, but physical objects add additional constraints to the problem.
Agreed. If I'm buying from a site and see that they're trying to roll their own checkout and payment processor I'm very, very wary and will, at best, use a disposable card number.
Is there an effective way of dealing with anti-commutative algebras like the geometric product in a functional model?

Obviously total functional programming is a problem.

But the GP greatly simplifies electrodynamics and removing the need to track handedness in your basis is very helpful in my experience.
Hey they automated that where we are. I will spend several hours a week remediating impossible to exploit vectors to tick compliance boxes, while aircraft carrier sized holes in the front end go unpatched because they are hard to fix.
Looks like a cool project.

But a pet peeve of mine is when READMEs don't have full working examples. Totally okay when in alpha, but nice to have when posting somewhere. The other part of this is that when notebooks are included, that they have their full outputs and no errors (looking at you `single_test_0.ipynb`)

At least to me, it isn't clear what the project does, how I use it, and what my outputs look like. Images always sell the show. Gifs are great when demonstrating tools, or videos are better (because I can pause it!). The main image here really doesn't tell me much, just that there are some different color rectangles.
The scams shall continue until gullibility improves.
Problem is, they don’t actually upgrade the touchscreens. At least not after the first couple years. And most consumers don’t/won’t know how to upgrade them.
Isn't "free market" supposed to provide a choice between privacy-respecting and disrespecting products? No regulation required.

Well, it seems like market forces do not work for minorities.
OK, great. So can you explain how the mathematical answer is a solution to your interpretation?

Spoiler alert: it didn't. Nowhere does the mathematical answer address the question of "too much".

And what do you mean by "progressed from stress to strain?" Stress doesn't turn into strain, they exist simultaneously. You're probably trying to say progressed from elastic deformation to plastic deformation.
There are three types of people circling around conspiracy theories.

1) Literate people who care about history and know that industry does what's best for profit at all costs.

2) People who don't read much looking for a hobby.

3) Liberals hoping to pass off their empty skepticism as allegiance to the mainstream.
SML/NJ has a standard library [0] beyond Basis with a lot of useful functionality, e.g. sets, queues, hash maps, red-black trees, sorting functions, regex.

[0] https://www.smlnj.org/doc/smlnj-lib
However, they have an Acceptable Use Policy that they can update at any time, and then you have to discontinue existing use of the output to match the update AUP, so there's no way to use the commercially (unless you have a backup plan, or decide that you're going to ignore the license).
> A side effect is that work-life balance is amazing once you get this process working. If you know exactly how much work you need to do and when it needs to get done by for the next 4-6 weeks, then you can pace yourself much better.

For you this may sound like heaven, but for me (possibly ADHD?) it sounds a little closer to hell. It reminds me of my school days; short assignments were fine. Large multi-week projects were a bit terrifying.

So in short, you need to account for a multitude of personality types. People with shorter attention spans need shorter deadlines. People with longer attention spans need less pampering. Pick something that works for both.
To do this, what level of distillation needs to be reached? When breaking the bonds in a water molecule, what happens to the impurities in the water?
Bingo. Lawyers write extremely broad TOS and EULAs but it’s really a mystery whether any of this data is actually being collected. Mozilla can’t see any of the code so they can’t really say what’s going on.

Yes, it’s bad that it’s a mystery and it’s bad that consumers have little control over it. We need more comprehensive national privacy laws.
Sticker in the box / on the user manual could probably solve those cases. The problem with requiring a setup phase is that that means you're shipping it in a vulnerable state.

Is there a difference between propaganda and false information? This is a practical question. If they say “propaganda” but in practice simply plant false information, is that still in scope?
That's such a stupid reason to reject someone, i wonder if the company was just making up reasons. Its basically impossible to have interesting questions about the company after round 4 of interviews.
I wouldn't use Firefox if it cloudn't sync history and bookmarks between computers and my phone. Sending tabs is also a nice bonus.

Have you tried playing Minecraft with mods? You know, something like GT New Horizons or Omnifactory. Those will melt your brain. They are the equivalent of climbing a mountain vs taking a leisurely stroll (reading). The idea that reading would be as mentally stimulating as that sounds ridiculous to me.

"Some RPGs". You have seen nothing. Nothing at all.
People in underdeveloped nations are also unfit. Mexico has chronic obesity among children, among the worst in the entire world. 1/4 of the Brazilian population is obese. Almost all islands in Polynesia, Micronesia and the Caribbean have more than half of their population obese. There's also a lot of anxiety and depression in underdeveloped nations where you have to struggle to get the most basic things like water, electricity and food, deal with crime, gangs, brutal dictators and war. Just because you don't see mass shootings and suicides it doesn't mean people from many of these countries don't deal with extreme levels of stress, anxiety and mental disorders on a daily basis.

> Maybe they should force Apple to open their phone APIs as well. Why should they be the only one that can develop phone usage apps?

They will have to open some, such as those required for third party browser engines, voice assistants, app stores, and SMS.
Handbrakes were mostly necessary for stickshifts starting on a hill but were kept around on a fair number of automatics even after they were unnecessary. (Though my emergency/parking brake has been a left foot pedal on my automatics for decades.)
The technology is based on the design of an emulsion from nanoparticles, wax and pollens derived from plants. It is then sprayed onto a substrate to produce a texture surface, mimicking superhydrophobic surface like a lotus leaves. The plant nanoparticle is hydrophilic, and will nucleate tiny water droplets. We can harvest 5L of water per square meter of surface per hr. Thus, the process is scalable. You can read our research in Nature Water, (2023) 1 (7), 587-601 and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (2022), e202115238 (1 of 13) https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.202115238.
Changing the speed of a process can dramatically change the outcome. For instance, compare taking an elevator vs jumping out the window.
