Windows these days prefers what they call modern standby and you probably don't want it.

I have a ThinkPad and this is what it's like:

Close the lid and stuff laptop into my backpack. I travel to work and when I pull my machine out of my bag, it has 12% battery left, is super hot, and the fan is screaming like the machine is trying to fly away. All because Microsoft thinks PCs should be more like iPhones.
A list of gotchas I encountered in the last year while developing an app using Jetpack Compose.
Hah, thanks. It was one of those things that I just wanted to do and I actually wrote 100% of code for this end to end which took me a good part of a month. Not the best use of CEOs time you might say, but it was fun and felt right.
Is copying fixed? Last I checked it seems you cannot copy-paste in many cases with wayland. There are clipboard managers for wayland that solve this but not entirely (such as in a vm, keeping formating, other edge cases IIRC). Hearing about this issue has made my never consider switching to wayland. Is this still the case?
>Organic cotton is ahead of plastic for greenhouse gases after 149 uses. That's a small number of uses for a cotton tote bag, which should last several years of daily wear.

Is it a small number? I put my bags in my shopping cart so I always wash them after each use since the carts are unsanitary. Once you start washing them after each use, the bags fall apart rather quickly. It might not be less than 149 uses, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
The reader mode button works. Do you not use it frequently? It will make you happier.
I love this so much

It’s such a great proof at how absolutely fundamentally tragically terrible humans are at evaluating things consistently based on purely sense perception.
How will it produce wealth?
> probably moreso the higher-performing ones

That's a pretty big assumption there.
I always look at critic score like quality of the film (acting, editing, etc), and audience score as entertainment value. I look for films that have 80+ in one and 70+ in both.
this is such a dumb position, holy shit.

no they haven't built an impregnable system, neither has anyone else in the history of the world.

they have raised the bar very fucking high, though.

normal vpn company: oh yes, Officer, here's their credit card details and a list of all IPs they've ever connected from, and DNS logs from our internal servers

mullvad: OK, I guess you have the corrupted partial contents of memory of one machine that you managed to dump after dawn raiding us with guns and using liquid nitrogen to freeze the DRAM for a cold boot attack where you now have 90 minutes before entropy claims another victim.

one company tried a lot harder and made things a lot better. dumb equivalence arguments are dumb.

I think you need to familiarise yourself with the Mickens Security Model: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/08/mickens_on_se...

making yourself resistant to casual subpoena attacks for little cost is valuable thing for a lot of people.
It is a tax, on parking.
> You cannot hide from governments.

Plenty of people have and I would rather they have to spend a Tor 0day amount of cash to do it than to do it trivially.

> You cannot hide from advertisers if you use a smartphone with apps. App developers who put ads within their app control the apps behavior completely and hence they can fingerprint your device and track you very well without using IP addresses. And within browsers, they can fingerprint you through many javascript features of the browser. Hiding your source IP does very little for your privacy.

Sure, if you have sketchy apps, but Apple has both legal enforcement and approval of apps.

> So, using a VPN as an exit node is just privacy theatre. VPN exit nodes in faraway countries are useful for bypassing content censorship in your own country, but it works only if the content streaming service cooperates with you.

...? They can't trace where your requests came from....
No, fast retransmit basically does what it says -- retransmits things quicker. However, it is orthogonal to what the congestion control (CC) algorithm decides to do with the send window in the face of loss. Older CC like Reno halves the send window. Newer ones like CUBIC are more aggressive, and cut the window less (and grow it faster). However, RACK and BBR are still superior in the face of a lossy link.
We had a 'glitch', it should be fixed now.
>What's the benefit of those assets really?

Not queuing with 100 people to visit a moldy overpriced Berlin apartment. Not worried about your retirement, if your pension will be enough to pay for your rent when you're 80. That's what assets are good for. Having Spotify doesn't make up for that.
Nice, thanks for catching the issue! https://github.com/dmagda/pg-compute-node/issues/5

This extension is primaraly for those who avoid using database functions at all because of not-the-best dev experience. Once your plv8 function is ready & tested, then it's totally fine to create it once and execute using a DB driver. However, while in development you might need to change the function implementation several times (or you might need to update it after going to prod) and, personally, it's easier to do this from within your IDE.

Anyway, those who prefer create functions manually can take advantage of the MANUAL deployment mode:

The people who stayed can give their two week notice next week and argue that they are way more critical now.
Yeah I think the argument is more so the base level rises dramatically higher.

I’d gather to say at least better than most nobility, if we’re just judging on land.

Then again, I do love c-sections to reduce mother and infant mortality, birth control, and antibiotics. I’d say those alone are better than any king/queen had access to in the past
(Former Chicago resident here)

Higher parking rates means fewer people driving, which is a long-term win. I highly doubt this was the top priority for the people who set the Chicago parking rates, but it's actually a good thing for the city.

Yes, you can argue "it just means parking is for rich people" -- to which I'd respond "keep increasing the parking rates, along with some other tactics, and even rich people will turn to other means of transportation."

Here in Amsterdam, the city government is deliberately doing things like raising parking rates, closing streets to car traffic and removing street parking -- all in an effort to reduce car usage.
Indeed they do, however companies like Meta (altruistically or not) are preventing OpenAI from building 'moats' by releasing models and architecture details in a very public way.
How is the unionization push a buried lede when the unionization push is in the story's lede
Had the same thought, like hyperhreading but for branches. But then I read in the article that one of the games had a branch every 4-5 instructions.
I think the parent is talking about consumer VPNs which using VPN protocols to implement a proxy service, providing very little of a private network.
That is a requirement for it to be featured in the KSW website (as it uses iframes to embed). We will still crawl it and surface in search results regardless..
Code blocks are done on here by indenting with 2 spaces, not with ```
That seems shockingly cheap. Was it really with paying someone to collect the coins and maintain the meters?

In the center of Copenhagen parking during the daytime is $6/hour!
I just rather pay 20 a month to get a share of 10000 h100 running the benchmark LLM instead
You can have aspects of socialism and capitalism in a single system. These all-or-nothing examples are naive or disingenuous.
I'm pleasantly surprised I can run my nodejs based tools without any changes with simply "bun run [script]" instead of "yarn [script]"

It doesn't seem to make tools like webpack/eslint/playwright run any faster than nodejs (eslint was actually slower)

Sadly, I can't run anything else because my projects were made with webpack specific APIs like require.context and DefinePlugin
>I do not see why costs arising from agency risk, as seen pervading the US on state and county and city levels, should be disregarded.

Fair point, but individual accounts have similar issues. People give their money to wealth advisors or whatever all day long.

>It is not cheaper for younger taxpayers and younger government employees shunted into lower paying tiers of the pension. I have a sister in law who is 7 years older than my other sister in law. Both work for a state government, and the older one has worked a lower paying job her whole life than the younger, by at least $20k per year. However, the older one will retire with a benefit worth at least 2x as much as the younger one.

I'm arguing that benefit-for-benefit, the pension does it cheaper. It would be cheaper for a pension to provide your older sister's benefit and cheaper for a pension to provide your younger sister's benefit. But yeah, this kind of thing is fucked up and I don't know why unions agree to it.
Sure, but "real" industry users want support for the hardware and software. They will pay for support contracts and customization if it saves them in house labor time.
Higher-performing employees generally have more options than lower-performing ones, so they aren't desperate enough to go through a disruptive and expensive move in order to keep their job. For similar reasons, I'd expect senior-level employees to be over-represented, because they're more likely to have kids, a spouse, and an existing mortgage.

> for example, if someone is banned for saying “death to non-whites”, theres a pretty good chance they’re being banned for advocating genocide, not because they’re conservative.

I think you will find that people have been getting banned for rather less harsh statements, like "maybe Covid was man-made", "Hunter Biden is corrupt", and "men cannot be women."
(1) You can't assume losing half of staff is a downside. RTO is a great solution for bloated companies which overhired during the pandemic.
(2) On the flip side, RTO is only a lever for large tech companies who pay great salaries. Startups' advantage is that they can compete for talent by offering remote work that large companies are not willing to offer due to their large real estate commitments. You may just be better off embracing remote work forever.
It worked fine for me four months ago, but now I can't copy from Chrome to any other app (or vice versa) again. :-/
It was just an example and as you suggest, probably not something they are interested in as Huawei was part of the 5G research. A better example might be amd64 acceleration architecture, or Nvidia's CUDA cores.

That said, these large companies are highly motivated to patent anything and everything the patent office will accept. It's a broken system anyway, but I can't suggest anything better.

The irony of Huawei or any Chinese manufacturer wanting to charge for use of patents is that they have grown by abusing the patents and trademarks of others. Apple for example lost the trademark fight over the use of 'iPhone', despite filing a trademark bid some 8 years prior [1].

Yeah they can have folks trained up a year from now assuming they can fill the spots immediately. For the next year or so, they'll probably be far below capacity.
Home delivery of The New York Times and The Washington Post. I at least skim both.
Well... In the early days if modern IT (Xerox Alto and so on) the UIs where textual-centered GUIs, actually connected as needed. It's curious that they are still more advanced than 2023 tech...
Yeah, I flagged that because it’s basically indistinguishable from trolling. All it’s going to do is distract from the actual thread topic - nobody is going to learn something useful.
I never understood the hype behind smart devices.

I don't need my TV to be smart. We all know the TV manufacturers aren't going to spend a dime on security, give zero shits about privacy, and even performance is going to be lacking. Software updates are unlikely to be a thing, as they'd rather sell you a new TV. Just get a <$50 streaming device (ie, Amazon Fire TV stick) and plug that into your TV.

I don't need my clothes washer/dryer, dishwasher, or even my fridge to be smart. For the former three, I have to physically be there to load them, so why not just start it while I'm there? Why would I want a phone app to control them? If I want a delayed start, that functionality is already built in.

I don't need my light bulbs to be smart. Every room has the switch at the ingress/egress point. If I'm going to bed, switching off lights as I move to my bedroom takes zero effort.

That leaves me to digital assistants like Alexa. Sometimes, in the kitchen, I suppose it would be nice to be able to just be like "How many grams is 1 cup of all-purpose flour?" (Why the hell kitchen scales never caught on in America, leading to ingredients like flour being impossible to accurately measure by volume is beyond me, but that's another topic) and get an answer and not have to pick up my phone, since if I'm cooking, I might have dirty hands.

I don't tend to listen to music when I'm not at my computer, so I don't need something with voice control to change the song.

My thermostat is the only "smart" device I use, and even that is a dumb one relative to the fancy learning ones like Nest. It has a phone app that lets me set the schedule and change the temperature temporarily. It's nice when I go on a bike ride, about 30 minutes before I expect to get home, I'll tell it to temporarily reduce the house temperature by a couple degrees to help me cool off when I get home.

And I do have a Ring doorbell, but only because I didn't want to deal with a DIY solution.

But since this topic was about privacy, I will say that at this point, you'd have to be incredibly naive to think that device manufacturers aren't trying to harvest as much data about you as they can. This article should not be surprising to anybody, especially anybody here on HN.
And why did they resign and not wait to get fired? Is that a us thing?
Symbolicating SwiftUI for the first time outside of Apple
Yeah, he complains about Wayland design choices that hurt usability and then puts grey text on a black background. The irony is interesting enough to warrant the comment.
I mean monads alone are not enough to do IO. Like it’s not possible to implement the IO monad in pure haskell. It’s more like the haskell runtime exposes a monadic API for its IO system.

The general intuition that makes sense for me after a few years of full time haskell is that Monads are the thing that allows us to encode effectful computations within a pure language.
Sure, but I feel a comparison is more appropriate, like including "as with all other major LLM", rather than writing it in a way that suggests it's remotely unique. As written, I see it as an intentional omission that's misleading, and/or an indicator of bias against Ernie.
>Windows these days prefers what they call modern standby and you probably don't want it.

Who cares what Windows prefers, when I'm the user and I prefer Hibernate which works out of the box and I use it precisely because it avoids the issues you mentioned. Why don't you use Hibernate? SSDs are fast enough that a wake from hibernate is not much slower than a wake from sleep.

On Ubuntu I don't even have this option because ... reasons.
ovpn and azirevpn come to mind.
That’s incorrect. You’re conflating commercial reasons with political reasons. That’s likely happening because a political party in the US has taken on the mantle of unpopular or hurtful speech protectors and labeled it political. But the reality is the corporate decisions are entirely based on protecting of their corporate brand and the value of their reputation as “safe” and “family friendly,” and are in line with the demographics that make them money and support their share value. They have no concern or desire to control thought, except for and up to improving their revenues.

The other one is literally trying to shape the minds and thoughts of their populace to explicitly control them in all aspects of their life. It’s not limited to improving revenue, it’s pervasive and complete, and is augmented with guns and prisons.
Show HN: Automated Competitors Tracking for Startups
Almost every company that I've worked for has always used Notion or Google Docs to manually track their competitors. Once I started working on my own startup, I quickly realized that it's pretty tedious to try to keep an eye on my competitors and keep all the data updated manually.
RivalHunt is designed to empower startups in tracking their competitors effortlessly. It offers:

Real-time updates on competitors' website changes, such as pricing updates, team modifications, and feature releases. Stay informed about competitors' latest social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. Access the most recent Crunchbase data on competitors, including funding rounds, acquisitions, and team alterations. Customizable update frequencies to suit your monitoring needs.

There is a Free plan available for anyone who wants just to try it out. Thanks!
Feels like crappy content marketing because it is cfappy content marketing. Sometimes I miss a downvote option on HN.
Yes.

My god, gray on black. Simulating reading the Vietnam War memorial at night. What an awesome stylistic choice.
Much of ASML's underlying DUV/EUV technology is developed by its Cymer division (which they acquired) which is based in California.

Why would it surprise you that the US wants to enact some export restrictions on technology that is developed in the US?
Google no longer offers new domain registrations
I think our disagreement here may largely be semantics. To be clear, I'd never label myself a "servant leader". I agree I think it's ingenuous to do so. However, if other people use that terminology to describe a type of leader—I get the picture they're trying to paint.

So to be clear, I agree the label is weird and cheesy and maybe should only be used to describe a type of leader (which again, I'd argue is just a good leader). Leaders absolutely should hold themselves to a higher standard due to their responsibility for the good of the team and the fact that they DO have more power.

I'm still not clear on what "pretending" to be a servant would look like. If I'm a shift manager and someone needs to sweep the floors before we leave and one of my team members is a teenager with an exam the next day—damn straight, I'm going go send them home early and sweep up myself. That's "serving" them—putting them before myself. But quite frankly it's also just the right thing to do. So in a sense, yeah I'm a servant in that I am serving my team members, but holy hell if you say, "Yeah, I'm a servant leader so why don't you go ahead and take off early." You're a cheesehead, a weirdo, and probably not actually a good leader. And in that case yeah I agree it's a weird play.
lsd is a drop-in ls replacement, exa is not. And lsd is a whole lot faster, which is also a plus.
Or I started on them, learned what I needed to learn or what they had to teach me, and then I moved on before finishing all the mundane parts. Still learned a bunch and figured some fun stuff out.

That's not failure.
Sometimes when I'm in a weird place, I keep "cleaning up" some piece of software until there's basically nothing left. I kinda fixate and forget the entire point of what I'm trying to do.

Running a company is the single biggest cost to running a company.
Unfortunately the “leaders in tech” are MBA brains that have no idea what they are doing long-term and when the going gets tough they turn to the age old strategy of making life miserable for their employees. This is true in the United States, anyway, where we have very little in the way of labor protection.

Would like to read a reply to this article by one of the main Wayland devs
Lifetimes ago as an intelligence officer I spent years tracking DPRK activities and developments.

People shouldn’t underestimate their technical capacities or ability to recruit smart hard working people.
Let's plot websites onto a plane where "look & feel" is the x-axis and "usability" is the y-axis.

I suspect most of the websites suggested here will lie in the top left corner. This is exemplified by websites of tech / SaaS companies, with the universal header, a centered display-sized black-weighted heading in Inter, the various screenshots, testimonials, all responsively arranged and come with dark mode, and (possibly falling out of vogue) squishy-squashy Memphis corporates. These are the playgrounds of Tailwind, Vercel, Linear.app, Shopify, PlanetScale, Supabase, etc.
Modern at first sight, but quickly dull the senses. Passable for their supreme usability (the Vercel dashboard works better on mobile than many websites on desktop).

On the bottom right corners are the grandiloquent, the pompous, the extravagant. See them on Awwwards. Somehow, I feel a sizeable of Web3 websites fall into this, though I have only superficial exposure to them, with their overuse of transitions and animations.

It's hard to find the exemplary websites, the residents of the top right corner. Some suggest the apple.com website, which I feel is certainly worthy of consideration but whose style I don't really grok. I shall leave here some suggestions, whose merits I hope is clear upon the first visit:

In 2020, Y Combinator published a guide to raising a Series A. The url is here: https://www.ycombinator.com/library/series-a-guide. Unfortunately the url has a 404 error and it seems they've taken it down. Does anyone happen to have the PDF downloaded and would be willing to share it?
Rotten Tomatoes calculates critics score and audience score differently.

83% of critics gave it a positive review on a binary scale. Not an average rating of 83%.

Whereas 38% of audience gave it higher than 3.5 stars.

They aren't exactly comparable.
But who's going to invest in parking meters if you have to recoup that in 10 years? It would seem the only way out is by placing it in the hands of the body that actually needs it, the Chicago administration in this case. But that didn't work, bringing us back to square 1, or measures from a higher authority, effectively overruling the city's voters.

Bad public governance is a mess.
> Higher parking rates means fewer people driving, which is a long-term win.

Only if they have decent alternatives.

Imagine complaining about the only store willing to invest the capital in a small town.
I updated my system recently and KDE under X11 started stuttering all the time, especially when opening new windows (which made using IntelliJ unusable, for example). Switched to Wayland and it just works. That's all it really took for me to go from a "I don't care about Wayland" guy to "I am a Wayland truther" guy.

Similar story for Pipewire; Pulseaudio had crackles and Pipewire didn't. Such is the way of life.
I’m sure there are enough people to support the existing setup when that happens.
I'm not willing to make an account either, I'm too scared what Modular will do with my data for privacy reasons, especially seeing that giant Google sign in button.

Hopefully, someone will and sign up so that we know Modular intends to do with our data once they collect it.
The real question is will they do anything.
Given the number of hookups, it’s probably fractions of cents ;)
