It depends on your definition of "physically best". Which is better, a Ferrari Daytona or a Ford F-150? Macs are sleek and elegant, but they're built with absolutely no regard for long-term serviceability. Thinkpads are big ugly slabs of black plastic, but they're easy to open, they have a sensible internal layout and Lenovo provide service manuals and spare parts.
Because some tape drives could only read and write whole (512B) blocks, and the way to be relatively sure that you didn't have a new file was to see two blocks of zeros.

I really wish the FTC would do something about 'Microsoft points' and 'Nintendo shop coins' and other such non-currencies you must exchange real currency for in order to buy things. These companies should be forced to put a real dollar amount on their items.

Companies should also be fined heavily for charging 4 coins for an item, but only selling the coins in increments of 17. It's an obvious scam.
We're these deaths from activism or with activism?
Yeah, you should be careful when picking a brand, but I don't see muesli with loaded sugar at those places. Are you looking at granola? First off, I haven't seen them in my local stores (outside of Bob's Red Mill[1]). Walmart's website also mentions Familia Swiss Muesli Cereal, says "No added sugar" on the front and the nutritional values don't look far off. Trader Joe's also looks comperatble to Bob's Red Mill[2]

What parts of Rust would you like changed, though?

I think the current version, with its minor warts, is a very pleasant and consistent experience for the most part -- very much unlike C++. So I'm not sure what I'd change to such a drastic degree that it'd require such breaking changes.

The guy had a gun on him. The serial number matched that of a gun he legally purchased in 2020. The bullet in the officer matched that gun. Do you think the cops shot him, then shot one of their own to make it look like self-defense? If they wanted to get away with murder they could simply claim the guy pointed the gun at them.
When their current car dies they won't own one of those either. Shit storm is brewing for the poors in America. Hardly anyone is taking advantage of our very inexpensive training programs that train in the trades (easily transitionable to engineering). Half the people who do show up are having it paid by their employer and barely put in any effort. Apartment complexes are looking good as an investment.

That is the case at all. If ARM were given the same die size budget as Apple's CPU I doubt the difference would be what they are today. Worth pointing out (again) all the ARM Cortex-X design are nearly half the die size as Apple's Performance Core.

ARM suing them was simply because they are using a contract tailored for Server market and using it in Smartphone.

EDIT: added extra context

> You proposed a change to a repo you do not own

That’s not accurate, your assumption would imply that the bounty would require the work to be merged upstream or reviewed by the Zig team, which was not. The bounty just required to have a working prototype. We explicitly stated that merging upstream was not required

> Even in your new offer it's unclear whether people should make changes in zig (add support for your features in zig) or in wasmer (change the samples to work with the current zig compiler, or build libraries that work with zig) to support your features

That's a fair critique, I'll update the issue to make sure this is clear
It isn't, as answered elsewhere.

When I mean unconsciously, I mean being unaware in that moment. However reflective hindsight reveals not only correlations in habit, behaviour, and so on but also in hindsight from a calmer frame of mind you can be aware of just how anxious you had become.

Solely based on HRV would be daft. I'm saying it correlates strongly with many other indicators which together are an indicator of my anxiety, realised or not, at that moment.

Ad HRV is a number and other indicators are not, its a great way to have a more quantitative measure which I've found is very helpful. Anecdata and qualitative measures sure, but it works for me.
This is a very good point but different from my gripe with the article. If a person collapses in front of me in the street and I cannot feel a pulse I don't need a trend to take action.

My issue with the article is that if there is a trend (which I suspect) they could have easily shown it. If there is no trend they should have been clear about it and they could have made an argument similar to the one you made above - if they wanted to.
Also, college radio (non-profit, staffed by student and community volunteers, usually at the low end of the FM dial) was a great place to be exposed to wide variety. In fact, record companies used to (and to some extent maybe still do) provide promo copies of many new releases to college radio and depended on feedback to fashion their marketing.

It’s not binary.

Drugs that kill or otherwise destroy your life are very bad. Other drugs that don’t do that are probably much less bad, and we should allow things somewhere that fall under a line between not bad and very bad. Where that line exists is a matter of current debate.
I think you are overestimating how healthy those are. Cheerios and rice krispies both have added sugar(yes UK versions). Shredded wheat is better but all three are still a very carb heavy meal, even with milk.

Show HN: Me and my buddy made $20 with a Stripe link and a Tweet
Hi there,

So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation.

We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in.

We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users.

Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on.

Do we consider the idea validated?

The short answer is no, We gained some initial momentum but we can't call it a business yet, not until we are starting to get recurring revenue.

What next?

We created a notion file with multiple marketing channels we plan to test out and see which one is the best.

We also created a list full of websites to submit our product and we are tracking the traffic we are going to get from each of them.

PS: If you are curious, this is the product https://coverposts.com/
Too bad. There is no shortage of food brands.

i think aldi is known for not selling otherwise well known brands. but from my memory hofer in austria is selling way more common brands than aldi in germany.

the discounters are known for selling brand products under a different label. i guess the brands go along with that because that way their brands higher prices elsewhere are not undercut because consumers don't recognize that it is the same product. in fact at least in the past brands dictated the retail price for their products, and discounters created house brands because of that.

that's why you don't see many otherwise well known brands in their shops. but from my memory hofer in austria is selling way more common brands under their original label than aldi in germany. (i could not find much data on this though, so this is a very subjective impression. i also haven't been shopping in germany for decades. according to wikipedia, aldi (south) has common brand products from 11 companies, whereas hofer has 10% of their 1000 products with common brands. and many of those are austrian brands. ok, i just found an article where aldi south also claims 90% own brands, but i guess in both cases that's not an exact number, so that's not very helpful)

so it seems austrians have a stronger local brand loyalty.

compare the house brands between aldi and hofer:
https://www.aldi-sued.de/de/produkte/eigenmarken.html
https://www.hofer.at/de/sortiment/hofer-eigenmarken.html

here you can see hofer boasting with their austrian products:
https://www.hofer.at/de/ueber-hofer/qualitaet.html

why are there so many brands that are not shared by both?

i guess because austrians want products sourced in austria.

this is also true in business. austrian companies prefer to only do business with other austrian companies. when i suggested that i was looking for customers in austria i was told that having a company registered in austria was a prerequisite to be even considered.

this is probably because austrians see themselves as the underdog against germany, so they are very protective of their own and don't want to become dependent on other countries, especially not germany so they don't want german companies dominating the austrian market.

It’s an important question, but one we’re not addressing in so many areas. We’re 8 billion in the world and more culturally homogeneous than ever.

These high costs are Amazon's way of telling you that you aren't architecting for the cloud. In my ~10 years doing cloud infrastrcuture on AWS I've never worked at a company had to purchase dedicated IOPS or vCPU.
None of the concepts you listed are really specifically "networking" related. Yes, they all tend to use the network, but aside from ssl/tls, are all methods of communication to achieve X. TLS is a wrapper for these comms methods, which provides a layer of security.

Have you tried doing more than just reading/watching videos? You can learn all 4 of these concepts in one go, if you were to stand up a server, and then configure each of the concepts you want to learn, by hand. You can learn DNS by setting up your own DNS server, and setting up a zone, entries, etc. Once thats working, use the server to stand up a webserver (nginx/apache), and install something into it (lots of cool selfhosted webapps around). Now that you have a working webserver and app, you can start setting up TLS/SSL. Rather than using LetsEncrypt, learn the (sadly, pretty terrible) ways of setting up your own CA and certs, by hand, with something like openssl. Now that you have certs, with your own CA, you can install that cert on your webserver, and youve now completed 3/4 of the concepts you wanted to learn. You can pick apart each one of these as you work through the task, for example, learning the various HTTP headers, and what they do, by use of an webapp that has an API on your webserver.

I should emphasize that if someone is laid off, that doesn't mean they aren't a good employee. Sometimes layoffs just happen and you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Strategies shift or priorities change.
I've read Richard's blog (his "political notes") and I come away with a feeling that his extreme politics at the very least clouds his thinking, if not directly influences it.

The end result is he carefully picks and chooses topics for which he is passionate about (in the context of computing and 'software freedom') nearly right up and down party lines.
Several of my favourite artists have "Peel Sessions". But that was an entirely different era of history; the last episodes were over 25 years ago I think.

Peel ran his show on a state broadcaster network (BBC Radio 1), in a country where the state provided significant arts funding until the 1980s or so. That created a culture where it was possible to record and perform music full-time without living on the street. Many bands met at state-funded, zero-tuition art colleges. Those days are long gone.
Why is it “waste” rather than just aluminum which hasn’t been recycled, yet? The embodied energy from aluminum and iron metal is very high. It takes large amounts of energy input to convert the source ores into pure metal. Using that metal as a fuel seems like a step backwards.

This article talks about using iron as a fuel and while it admits that it takes electricity and hydrogen to conver iron oxide to iron and that the process is inefficient, it seems to just handwave that away and go into how great a fuel source iron would be.

Seems very “perpetual motion” to me.
It’s a funny one. Major corporations are more likely to feel the hit to their bottom line, and generally are able to take a short term painful decision to make a long term profitable one, like switching or investing in their own engine.

On the flip side, small companies are more likely to be discouraged from ever using Unity because of this.

So who remains using it? Mid-tier companies who can’t afford to switch?
- Simplify your life
- Get away from noisy situations and circumstances
- Do what you like and not what the society or market tells you
- Enjoy what you do and don't force yourself in environments that cause you pain and are toxic for your mental state
- Keep around only a couple of genuine friends and the rest keep them as your acquaintances
- Always think where you were a couple of years ago and where you currently are; it helps you appreciate yourself even more
- Do not hesitate to ask for help; you never know from where it might come (trust me on that part...)
"Kiev regime" - interesting choice of term.
QA costs could ultimately be paid off by people who actually use the engine, no? If they contribute back or, at least, create an issue things could work out.

> Windows only has a "monopoly" on PC gaming

Microsoft poured money into game tools since the 90s, published a large library of in-house games themselves, litigated and demolished it's competition (both Apple and Linux), and courted every single hardware manufacturer in existence. XBox as a console came into being from this massive investment.

> because Apple refuses to licence their operating system for non-Apple hardware

Reminder that Microsoft poached Bungie, who developed Marathon and others exclusively for Macintosh, to develop Halo for PC and XBox exclusive releases.

Im 40 now and when I was still in highschool anyone with a brain knew EXACTLY what was going on and what was going to happen.

As a kid I was ANGRY. ANGRY that people just would not stop destroying my planet. I was angry for a long time. I would tell people facts, like that 95% (now 98%) of large sharks were gone and people would say, "do you have any idea how BIG the ocean is?..."

Anyway, 20+ years went by, nothing changed, people still won't stop driving (actually they all traded in for cars that do MORE environmental damage but go SUPER fast and make them feel good). We praise billionairs like Elon and Taylor swift who are doing more damage than like 100 million people combined, yet they are heroes to many.

That is, at this point I say either let it burn or we'll burn it down ourselves, either way, good riddance.

My job requires me to correspond with dozens of people over email, Teams, and Slack every day. We're all trying to get work done and need our communications to be as succinct as possible. Sure, occasionally I might dress it up to add some humor, but that's ~1% of cases. An AI, with access to my entire corpus of work-related communication, could likely very easily predict most of my communications, since they fall into a small set of categories.

"When can I expect to get $workproduct?"

"Here's when I can commit to getting you $workproduct"

"What's the estimated date for $milestone?"

"Here's the project plan for $initiative"

"I can't make this meeting, can you be sure to record it?"

I welcome any tool that can predict what I want to type and does it for me. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not but Outlook and Teams seem to have gotten better in this regard. I'll take more of that.
