I wish I could accurately share my experiences watching travel agents working on mainframe terminals finding me a good deal on flights in my travel windows.

it was amazing watching them work, and there was no mouse involved. there wasn't even a mouse connected to the terminal. F-keys and hotkeys galore, and the applications were extremely responsive, none of this 400ms response from a webserver then another 1200ms waiting for the JS to render the page.

I am in favor of TUIs if they can bring this kind of accommodation for power-users. I agree with you that there is a strong danger of UX people getting involved and making things perfect for new people at the expense of anyone advanced.
I'm far from an ActivityPub or Mastodon expert, to be clear - I've just been lurking at the periphery of json-ld and its more-than-a-little-insane spec. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were literally zero json-ld-compliant systems in the entire ActivityPub universe, even if you ignore stuff like validating remote schemas.

As it stands though: pleasantly readable code! I got curious and explored around a bit and it's all remarkably simple. Maybe it needs more error handling or auth or something and it'll grow before it's "ready", but it's nice to see something simple occasionally. You can probably keep a lot of those simple-structure assumptions if you frame your incoming requests to look like the common structure you're using now, if you can find a library that handles that for you: https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11-framing/ (which is a lot of text to say "it's a templating system")
Is there any way to detect if someone is doing this? Any idea if it'll work on ethereum?
Charnas died recently, I was fairly sad about that. There's also overlap with The Hunger (the novel, not the film which was made from it) in terms of having a separate species. Or Katt Shea's Dance of the Damned.

The X-Files episode "Folie a Deux" featured an insect which "fit in" among humans. You might like that.
Thanks! Yes, Let's Encrypt does email you, and they provide extensive documentation for automatic renewals as you say. But even with that, I've had some WordPress instances go dark a few times because of some hard to debug problems with the cron job while running inside a Docker instance. Also, it's nice having everything in the same dashboard if you manage several sites. Peace of mind.

Regarding the signup email, thanks for the heads-up. I just fixed the issue and if you want to give it another try, you can just register once more.

Much appreciated!

The transition from Ubuntu to Debian is about as simple as it gets, since Ubuntu derives much of their base from Debian..
This looks cool.

How long would it take me to learn and get proficient with something like this? I would use it for email, JIRA tickets, reading github code, using the github/gitlab UI (as a TUI).

Maybe even some google sheets.

As I type this I now realize most of this is probably not possible :(

Unless you are say say pro competitive gamer (lag) or doing sone fringe science, anything above 1gbs real speed is useless these days.

I have it, or slightly below, with pings around 7ms, and... as a regular user with some modest 10tb movies and games collection, 99% of the cases 100mbit is more than fine, and the rest covers rest.

No place for anxious ocd types, but low ping and overall reliability of the connection are way more important to me, even for fetching 70gb+ games. Not only due to wfh, but also for that.
While distasteful on the face of it, this may be a good way to increase base load utilization going forward, base load being powered by nuke, solar and wind.

Instead of purchasing expensive infrastructure (methane) to power peak periods in a manner quick to ramp up and down, pay off known optional users to free up capacity.
(author here) I think it's not useful to eliminate branches in hot loops. These games have giant instruction footprints and a high branch rate. A loop will probably fit within the L1 BTB and uop cache, and probably won't benefit from eliminating branches.

Exception would be a branch that's near impossible to predict, like one that depends on a randomly generated value or otherwise doesn't correlate well with global history.
I mean, rotten tomatoes ratings have been fairly political for a while.

It is critic-career suicide to give negative ratings to any girl-power movie, no matter how bad or artistically bankrupt. At the same time, any movie that gets republicans excited (even if it isn't political) will struggle to be certified-fresh on the platform.

> anti-woke”/anti-pc comments

If that's the sentiment, then that's the sentiment. I know it sounds like we've had an influx of new angry redditors. But, a lot of old school HN folks have fundamental disagreements with the woke/pc tent.

I agree that HN should try to avoid culture wars. But not when it is the crux of the very thread we're on.
I expect they have a very large unit/integration test suite. Rails was the first (or very early pioneers) of doing TDD.
Yes, it's a goal of (Marxist) communism, and (AFAIK) the one largest goal of anarchy.

You can criticize it as a goal as much as you want. There's plenty of things to disagree in it. But you just can't go and state it's a no true Scotchman, that is meaningless nonsense.
Why would you need to launder? The output isn't under GPL to begin with. This is just so small teams can use it without having to deal with all the frivolous lawsuits.
I've had something like this happen with a bunch of guys cloning my software and changing the URL to offer a competing service.

I've also had a funded competitor copy our business model and attempt to compete.

I sued the first one, the other one we outcompeted in spite of a 30:1 funding discrepancy. Regardless, these things are distractions and some funded bunch of cowboys destroying the market for you when you've spent a long time to get established can be a real problem. Even if they go under they'll do a lot of damage, not just to you, but also to their customers and possibly the whole field as a consequence of their activities. For instance: to offer the product for free because they're burning investor cash.
If you want to complain where PPP money went, you should ask the republicans why they removed all oversight from the system.
Not if the deal was that they got a flat pay rate regardless, then anyone would expect they wouldn’t be busting their ass either.

If they get a bonus, then if they did a better job they’d have a right to expect a good bonus. Equity, a higher share valuation (modulo how little control there may actually be there).

I think the thing you’re struggling here is with scope.

For an hourly employee, the ownership extends about as far as ‘what I can do within the hour I’m there, and how can I do it the best I can’.

For the plumber example, it’s owning fixing the toilet. If it breaks because they did a shitty job, it’s also taking care of making sure it’s done right. If the faucet is part of the job, it’s making sure that is done right too (or they say no, I can’t/won’t).

Doing the faucet for free is stepping out of their area.

More ownership, more risk, more scope (all scope sometimes) more upside/downside, less direct payment.

Someone paid a salary is getting a lot of risk reduction (almost all, frankly), and it would be very odd for whoever is paying them to give up all their upside AND take all the risk of it not working.

Who in their right mind, except oppressive regimes would support unconditional spying on their communication.

That is just in line with the undemocratic structure of the EU.
The council, no one voted for them to be in the position they are, has more power than the voted for parliament.

It's essentially a dictatorship.

In the cow vs. toy cow example, you get a 3D model of a cow, but you don't know its absolute size. If you ALSO know that the cow is 2m long, or 3m away, you can infer the scaling factor for the geometry you estimated using pixels and camera intrinsics.
I did miss it, thank you

You can still apply multiple times after getting rejected. There’s plenty of stories of companies/founders that only got into YC after several rejections

To be honest, if I were in their situation I wouldn’t apply again, but it could be a good move regardless
That will also skew towards shorter tenures, (a) because shorter tenures tend to occur earlier in a career rather than later (so a previous tenure is more likely to have been shorter), and (b) when you’re sampling at a random point within a career, you’re more likely to hit a long tenure within that career, which conversely means that the previous tenure (or more generally, any of the past or future tenures) will more likely be shorter than the current one in that career.
Transit is a false choice if your trip takes 30 min by car and 2 hours by bus.

This is why I am not a fan of congestion pricing even though I want a more transit oriented US. The US across the board gets less transit for its money than the rest of the world. Until we get costs under control it’s hard to imagine our cities building enough of the right kind of transit.

Chicago in particular was frustrating as a tourist as I found pretty much any trip not involving the loop to be tedious and lengthy.

This paper mentions Plenoxels in the introduction and beats it.
Not the OP, but I think the stated point is that some people are strictly against the development of products for the military and warfare, but then support situations when those products are used.

I'm in kind of a similar boat, where personally I would not want to ever work on weapons, but at the same time admit their necessity. My hope over time is that conflict becomes less violent and more economic, but induced poverty also has deadly consequences...
Come to think of it, I have never bought a new smartphone, it has always been second hand devices. I do use a debit card for everyday shopping though, but having a google-enabled phone on your person at all times that you constantly interact with is another level of potential for surveillance.
Chinese and Indian film studios have been doing this for years on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. So many absolutely abysmal Chinese and Indian movies have 90%+ user scores on both platforms, it's painfully obvious to anyone even paying a modicum of attention that they're gaming these sites, as there's no way thousands of people can all think these utter turd movies / shows are actually gems regardless of whatever cultural relativism based excuses people try and trot out.

The bottom line is basically every single site that aggregates reviews or has user reviews is functionally useless now, as there are entire multi-billion dollar industries employing tens of thousands of people in China, India, Russia and the Philippines devoted to flooding the sites with fake reviews and the sites themselves know this all to well and do nothing to stop is as they make more money this way.
We've long bought the "green" bags for trash, kitty litter, etc anyway. In theory biodegradable. We also bought some small mesh bags for fruit / vegetables, so we don't even have to use the plastic store provided ones. So I hear you that there is still a need for something for these other uses, but alternative options exist beyond the classic plastic bag.
Yeah, I’d maybe make a set of just the position IDs, and do a negated .has() of that set to check if the cursor was removed.

ws.onmessage = function(event) {
const positionIds = new Set(positions.map(pos => pos.id));

Object.keys(cursors).forEach((id) => {
if (!positionIds.has(id)) {
document.body.removeChild(cursors[id]);
delete cursors[id];
}
});
};

Untested but that’s probably pretty close for phone typing
Go game formal revealing by Ising model (2017)
I have not seen that in the US. Usually, you get to choose how much benefit you want to go to a spouse, inversely correlated with the benefit you receive.

So you can choose your whole monthly benefit for just your life, then less for a joint and survivor (J&S) 50% benefit, and an even lesser amount for J&S 75% benefit, and finally a J&S 100% benefit option.
> Russia and China are not sitting around; they would go and meddle with their affairs.

I mean, certainly, but it's like having a club on your car's steering wheel: it's not about creating perfect protection, it's about ensuring your car isn't the softest target for theft in the parking lot.

If Cuba had fewer reasons to talk to Russia and China, then Russia and China would have fewer reasons to talk to Cuba in particular, vs. other Caribbean and Central American nations. Which would, potentially, spread their resources thinner and decrease covert-ops ROI, as they'd be having to engage with several nations who only weakly want them there, instead of one nation that desperately wants them there.

(And yes, I do realize that these powers do already engage with other nations in the area, e.g. Nicaragua. But not in the same way / not for the same reasons.)
Normally, people they're paying directly would be lumped together. Not sure the accounting rules if it's an outside agency but probably.

I can't see how it will scale, but in the immediate present, it seems useful and good to me. I might even prefer if this small web remained small (though that's likely... unappealing to Kagi's investors).
Honestly, I probably ask ChatGPT 3-10 "stupid questions" a day.

Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT which file formats are most popular for storing knowledge graphs in flatfiles, and loved that I didn't have to spend the remainder of the afternoon apologizing for being as dumb as an apple or an egg.

I wonder if my main problem is that I don't know the level at which most people are at, or aim to be at before asking questions, since everyone experiences some level of hostility on the Internet, and surely people have a strategy for reducing how much hatemail they get on a given day.

Browsing Wikipedia works, and so does searching through GitHub for anchoring points of reference, but, I wish that there was an easier way - it'd be incredible if I could just, ask someone what my starting point should be, and where I should go from there - but, alas, this is the mark of a failed man.
What is the best way to get out of career limbo?
Disclaimer: This is my first post, and I appreciate your patience.
Background: I completed my Masters in Science, specializing in computational biology, in 2017. Since then, I've been in a state of career limbo. To earn income, I've been tutoring remotely, which has allowed me to regularly use my math and problem-solving skills. It has been enjoyable and educationally beneficial, so I have no complaints.
My academic background includes proficiency in linear algebra and calculus. Currently, I'm considering a career in the AI industry, where I can leverage these mathematical skills. However, I should clarify that I'm not at the doctorate level yet.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Bonus Question: If I had $10,000, what would be the most effective way to invest it to maximize return profit? I believe I'm using the correct economic terminology, but feel free to correct me in the comments!

Confession: I used Albus the GPT-powered AI to help me tidy up the original version of this post. Don't judge me!
of course there's been exceptions as well. Jamie Carragher's #23 for example.

Yes, likewise. We have no smart devices, no TV in the house, no cameras or smart doorbells or Internet enabled appliances. People are always disoriented when they visit because there is no TV and no Echo-like device on the kitchen counter.

Yeah but you pay for UseNet access separately. Some usenet servers charge extra for access over 100mbps or 1gbps.
You're missing the point I was making.

* Windows shells (at least for me, right now) won't DETECT a .otf font. You can't even choose to use it in the options of powershell/prompt/etc

* Most nerd fonts don't bother to convert to TTF. They only provide an OTF.

Even if they're fundamentally the same that doesn't matter if Windows won't detect it in the first place to let you select it.

This ConPTY replacement ('Windows Terminal') sounds fairly recent, so I think you'll forgive me if I didn't know about it. Our work machines only updated to Windows 11 in the last couple of days.

In any case, without access to the store I can't install it anyways. Nice for those who are on 11 already and have access though.
Obviously, but if we're talking about scales like 50%, it's probably more efficient to roll the dice.
My personal journey with a plant-based diet is very different from yours. I find it to be a much cleaner, healthier, regular, nutritious, satisfying and even delicious way of eating. I have followed this diet for almost 8 years, I am now 61, and my strength and bloodwork is better than ever.

I believe that everyone needs to come to this diet on their own terms. And as you say, if bursts, or periods, or trials are best for you, then that is wonderful and probably beneficial.

Cheers.

China wants to ban clothes that 'hurt nation's feelings'
Point well taken. My comment was primarily based on two other factors:

a) the strategic signal it sends re developer resource allocation and
b) the market signal it sends, selling a security solution while partnering with a company (not a knock - I've been a mullvad customer!) that provides solutions which are frequently used to bypass compliance/regulatory controls.
"sword to defund, dismantle and obstruct" Which begs the question: Why is that a bad thing? Look at all the programs that are grossly mismanaged, underperform, destroy rights, etc. Look at the ever increasing public debt load for those programs with those problems. Look at the ever increasing tax demands as layers and layers of more taxes exist to punish those who do and reward those who do not.

"would you invest in a company" would you invest in a company who has no rewards to improve and instead is literally rewarded for being stagnant AND who controls a vertable army to enforce being part of the company? IE: The IRS that has hired tens of thousands to "get the rich" ( not really the rich... just the middle class which is the hardest hit by increasing taxes and enforcement of massive tax hikes)

"it's weird seeing" I'm a middle of the road person so you trying to strawman me into being a blank supporter of untrammeled CEOs isn't going to stick. Government must exist but it should be small enforcing reasoanble rules on companies which should also be small. The majority current federal government shouldn't exist (IE: the Medicaid/Medicare Ponzi Scheme) and a fair number of large corporations should be broken up (IE: blackrock, microsoft, etc).

No one says "give voting rights to property"... but people like you seem to think that states like CA should control the rest of the country out of sheer numbers. Idaho shouldn't be controlled by CA and vice versa. If the federal gov wasn't an overgrown cess pool we wouldn't have the do-or-die elections where corrupt pieces of shit like Joe Biden controls way more than any President should control. If we had limited government then the leadership choices would be what they were 40 years ago.

Complaining about Freedom loving is also funny from someone who's ostensibly supporting Socialism/Communism. Those are the literal opposite of freedom loving as the only way those work is authoritarian dictatorships. The literal goal of socialism is to enslave the population based on 50%+1vote leaving the other 49% of population controlled. And again, this is based on historical evidence of what happens when Soc/Com gets implemented: Destruction of freedom.

There's tons of reasons why America isn't pure democracy and why it's a representative republic at the federal level. And it's not to give rights to "land"... it's to keep voting rights with those who deserve it - locals - and to limit the rights of the federal government to steal rights. All you have to do is look at the largest purveyor of disinformation during the "covid pandemic" to see the US government and why it can't be trusted with that much power. and why anyone who wants that much power in the hands of the federal government is ignorant of history and reality.

I do like that definition, but there's also the question of what kind of business would it be? There are companies that have to write their own software, because there isn't commercially available solution that will allow them to scale. Companies like energy trading companies, banks, hedge funds, ISPs and so on. They might buy some solutions, but build others.

eBay also doesn't magically become an auction house, just because they decide to buy a platform, rather than develop one. Amazon (the webshop) isn't a software company... but they write a ton of software.
I'm not sure what YC's stance is on investing in established businesses, but in the VC world as a rule it is 'not done' to invest in multiple competitors active in the same field. That path is rife with conflicts of interest.
I get the same impression using PS+ and trying to stream some AAA games. Even though I have a 1gbps connection, I'll get timed out from my VM running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided just trying to load a new map sector.

Audience score is functionally useless though, as there are entire industries devoted to manipulating it, and the sites know this and do nothing to stop it.
While Japan is the most obvious "Guess culture" for Westerners.

My favourite example of a "Guess culture" is that of Iranian taarof[0]:

Another example occurs if a Western individual is not familiar with taarof in Iranian culture. When an Iranian individual is offering taarof, it is to first view it as a sincere offer with the hope of decline up to four or five times. If the individual offers more than five times, it can be concluded that the individual is not doing taarof, and the opposite side should respectfully thank that individual and accept the offer with gratitude.

In that example one has to decline about 5 times (!) to be sure the offer is genuine, most people unfamiliar with that custom will take the offer the second or third time or will be enraged that they don't understand a "No, thank you".

The most laborious combination is a "genuine offer" and you deciding to decline it. The person signaling the genuine offer will try to double down, - so expect an 8th time - until your genuine rejection is "accepted" and while you are at it firmly holding your ground try to sneak in a counter-offer, too ;) In the end you will end up most likely accepting a "symbolic offer" of the genuine offer.
E.g. if you decline a ride you are offered genuinely (say because you want to have a comfortable ride with a taxi), you can decline eventually by accepting the symbolic offer that e.g. a taxi is called up for you.

Pretty hard to figure out if you are coming from an ask culture.
