After I digged into related articles on the link, it seems like the holy grail
to the config files dilemma is to just hard-code desired settings in the
source code. However, it also means that users (especially using binary
packages) are stuck with settings from the distro.

If you truly needs user-configurable setting, maybe TOML is for you.

I absolutely hate the list-of-custom-timer UIs on both iOS and Android. I can only assume that both companies have separately gone through the cycle of "people want favourite/recurring alarms" -> "timers are just alarms for relative time" -> "people want favourite/recurring timers".

The thing is, there just aren't that many times I want a timer for. Nobody's out here with a carefully curated gallery of artisanal durations. It takes me more time and effort to scroll to my 15-minute timer than it would to hit 1-5-enter on a numeric keypad.

Hell, even just a +1,+5,+10,+15 grid that starts immediately or adds to the current timer would cover everything I've ever needed within four taps. But, nope, gotta gallivant through my menagerie of exotic timers to pick out the perfect one. Infuriating.

For me it’s not about somehow hearing a difference (at least, not anymore, especially at my age. Thought I do remember the days when mp3s had a good chance of sounding tinny from bad encoding, even when done by myself from a CD). Honestly, I probably have a nonzero amount of bandcamp flac files that are actually just mp3’s that were converted, but I’m unlikely to ever know unless I analyze the waveform.

For me it’s about having a reference/master copy to archive and then modify, cutting parts away I don’t like, applying equalization, etc and compressing for streaming/loading on a device. I am not going to compound losses on a file if I can help it.

Storage space is trivial these days, so just grabbing a flac file and declaring that it’s perfectly as the artist intended removes any potential cognitive load of trying to evaluate audio quality or “which of these mp3 files is the best one to archive” anxiety.

Basically: Start clean, stay clean, and move on.
Always appreciate these historical references.

I believe in a very simple fact, which is that minimum wage has remained stagnant in comparison to inflation. That means the purchasing power of someone that made minimum wage 30 years ago has sharply gone down.
Depends on the opportunity cost, really.

If stopping at the airport adds 15-20 minutes to the trip to downtown, it probably isn't worth it and you want to run separate trains.

On the other hand, the high-speed train going to Amsterdam Zuid via the shortest possible route literally passes through the airport Schiphol already - a stop only adds 2 minutes or so and is therefore a no-brainer.

>He’s not saying we have instinctual ethical views. He’s saying we have a biologically determined interpretive framework we use to evaluate ethical questions.

I thought this was entirely obvious to everyone until I read GP’s to comment.

We act in a way that keeps the majority of us alive and reproducing. We have done OK at that so as a society, we keep doing it that way.

Sure, ok, that’s “relative”, but also obvious and doesn’t invalidate the idea that we know which things are good/ethical beyond how they feel.

There is a great video where Danny Hillis describes their thinking behind the design of the CM-2, and how it influenced the design of the then still in development CM-5.

What's crazy is when he talked about "bits in the machine" that are not stored in RAM, but are stored in wires "in flight" across the room sized machine with one big synchronous clock.

Ask HN: HN How to Get Feedback on Software Design Docs
I'm working on a voice transcription tool and I wrote a software design document. It's all text, no diagrams. It covers the technical architecture and functionality.

- Where can I share it to get some constructive feedback?

- How can I avoid sounding like I'm just promoting my work?

I'm all for constructive feedback, but the internet's version of "constructive" can sometimes feel like a sledgehammer to the ego.
Very true. But the splats cannot, at the moment, account for moving lights, nor dynamic scenes, so it seems like only the 0-th harmonic would be affected by shadowing.

Something I encountered recently: I have a jellyfin server hosting shows and movies that I would like to play on my Chromecast on my local network.

This is 100% not possible. The Chromecast always hits Google's DNS to resolve the media server's address. Which means you must host your media under a resolvable domain name, exposed to the internet.

This kind of thing (assuming it can resolve through Google DNS) would short-circuit that requirement. You could feed it a domain name that points back to a local address and not expose your server to the internet.

Of course there are other ways around the problem, but this would be far, far simpler. Honestly it seems like it'd be faster and simpler than setting up a subdomain and reverse proxy, which is what I did.
I use PCBWay professionally for simple fixtures and tooling. I once had parts fabricated from them and on my desk quicker than the time it took our usual domestic supplier to provide a quote - and their quote was more than 10X what PCBWay quoted. I really like their CNC service and I’ve only had one issue where a large part had a bent corner when it arrived due to shipping damage. I quickly removed some material from the fixture and put it in service.
> Chomsky explained that he was not only referring to the fact that Russia is fighting in Ukraine in a more humane way than the US in Iraq: "I am not only referring to this, it is obvious." UN inspectors had to be withdrawn as soon as the invasion of Iraq began, he says, "because the attack was so severe and extreme ... This is the American and British style of war." Chomsky adds: “Let's look at the victims. I only know the official numbers… the official UN numbers are about 8,000 civilian casualties [in Ukraine]. How many civilian casualties were there when the US and Britain invaded Iraq?”

The implications here are clear what he meant. Everything else in that headline is spin. This feels exaggerated IMO

Nothing forces you to use C++ scripting here; Yosys has a shell that you can enter commands in, and it takes via `-s` a file of commands; a script.

That the default scripts are written in C++ to not need dependencies does not mean you also need to write your scripts in C++.
When I worked at a large well-known internet company, one of the teams rolled back a feature because it made the site easier to use, which resulted in less accidental ad clicks. And it was common to stuff more ads on pages if revenue was looking short for the quarter. This is going back almost 20 years ago now.

Also, this sounds like an email from a sales person, although I don't know whether it is or not. Some of the sale people that I've known were more than willing to cross into the greyest of grey areas to make their quota, regardless of the legality. I'm curious what the response to this email was.
I suspect with a disinterested Congress and an apolitical Supreme Court, wringing hands over interpretation of the intended meaning of words might be predictive of legal outcomes.
> it seems like the holy grail to the config files dilemma is to just hard-code desired settings in the source code

That is…not remotely the holy grail. You’re really throwing out the baby with the bathwater on that one. User-configurable settings are important for many, many applications.

In the narrow case that you’re working on, say, a monorepo for closed-source code that only runs on your own servers, maybe in source code is fine provided there’s no host-level differences that would require a config file.

But for any other circumstance…yeah you need some type of configurability.

I love the idea of Amtrak - or more correctly, passenger trains.

The idea of traveling across the country and actually getting to see it is amazing. Spending a couple days on the train is maximum leisure to me.

But... every time I consider doing it again, it's just too crazy expensive. Sometimes double or triple that of similar air travel.
I doubt casual users care about these.
Decorify from Wayfair is also using diffusion, same as the other folks who have built similar things in the market (InteriorAI is probably leading product here). We'll see where this goes :D
Yeah, I guess you're right that the necessary prerequisite for alternative OSs like ChromeOS to be viable for consumers was the Web eating software for most tasks. I think most people doing business or personal computing on a laptop today are doing 100% of those tasks either in a browser, in a first-party app the OS vendor made, or in a simple Electron app that just wraps the webapp (Like Slack and Spotify). Obviously not true 25 years ago. It started coming true right before Chromebooks started coming out.

Arguably it's also the only reason Macs became viable for consumers instead of dying off. Imagine if you couldn't use any webapps on a Mac, nor "apps" that were built with Electron.

Closure library/compiler was the only real way to write a large SPA back in 2012+.

You had access to an amazing compiler with a standard library that was like having every npm module you could ever need but written by Google and well maintained without the security risks.

We still use it, and the only real “wish” we have is maybe if the jsdoc “type system” could just be replaced by TypeScript while maintaining all the rest of the library/compiler.
Yes, the amount of gravitational potential energy release is much higher for the same mass than you get from fusion. I’ve seen estimates of 10% - 40% of the mass-energy of the in-falling matter.

You “just” need a way to get the matter there and a way to capture that energy.

Not right now, but that's a great roadmap feature. It should be trivial with today's model (object detection + inpainting). Created an issue: https://github.com/fill3d/fill/issues/2
Perhaps you think it is trivial. I don't. Open source has the potential to bring lots of benefits to society, but if coupled to a particular conception of what "profit" is and the way in which companies "doing" open source should relate to it, I believe that a lot of those benefits will be squandered.
I appreciate the kind words and the opportunity to present my analysis.

> Honestly as a non-professional who makes PCBs that are almost exclusively "connect this pin to this other pin over here", this kind of comment comes of as a bit unnecessarily condescending in a "I don't need this feature, so nobody else should need it either" type way.

It’s not meant to be condescending. Virtually everyone who starts doing PCBs goes through a phase where they think that it must be “easy” to press a button and get everything laid out and connected. Countless developers have tried to create software to do that over the years.

Maybe some day it will come to fruition, but the reality is that autorouting just isn’t very useful for setting up entire boards.

I think beginners get confused because they think the schematic connections contain all of the information needed to properly route a real board. Then you get into the real world and realize that you need to select connector locations in a way that make sense, place capacitors to minimize loop area, orient components to keep parasitics minimized on important nodes, make traces bigger where you need high current or better heat dissipation, and so on.

Which is why it’s not condescending to say that autorouting/autoplacement isn’t useful. It’s just a reality of making PCBs. You have to do a lot of manual decision making at layout time that isn’t easily automated away.

I have used autorouters for certain buses, but I have to set up the constraints in detail and steer the routing myself still. There is no autorouting/autoplacement that will make good boards for you, even though everyone goes through a phase where they assume it must exist.
Interesting. It appears to me that I can better tell area differences between nicely shaped objects rather than long narrow objects. Is there a measure that can tell how nicely shaped an object is? The obvious one I could come up with is ratio of area of object to area of bounding circle. Closer to 1 is good. Lower than some threshold we pick is bad. I'm sure someone must have thought of this problem.

It certainly works to optimize squatter triangles over long narrow triangles, and these shapes over arcs.
Just bill for it, support and all. Make the customer say no. Or if they're willing to pay then great.

It's terrible customer support for the company to give them something one day and then deny all responsibility another day.

I thought I was pretty good at TypeScript, but I can't imagine how I would write that function. Would you mind sharing that?
The rule is probably something like "if !paid: deny tcp 80, deny tcp 443". (Hopefully they got UDP for HTTP/3.) I suppose this has the desired effect of captive portals (break GMail until you pay), without having to field support requests from geeks ("I paid but SSH doesn't work, refund me"). I think their plan is that whatever obscure app you're using negotiates over HTTPS, but then actually transfers the data over some other port. I bet things like Zoom work that way. By not touching the obscure data paths, you avoid support requests.

Either that, or they just felt like throwing a fellow nerd a bone. If you ask the PM, "should I block SSH" they'll say yes, but if you just put it in there, who knows ;)

SaaS does not mean "the software opens a socket and communicates with a server for brief portions of its runtime". It does not mean "cloud-based". It does not mean whatever Microsoft wants it to mean.

SaaS means that a substantial portion of the compute task associated with "an application" can only be completed via a server request (whether it's to initiate the compute task, or fetch the code that will run it, or some combination of the two).
Counter-Strike: Neo was an arcade game I think, Counter-Strike: Online (and Counter-Strike: Online Zombies) and Counter-Strike: Online 2 were both reworks for the Asian market, Deleted Scenes was the single player bundled with Condition Zero and off on a tangent was Tactical Intervention which was a similar game made by Counter-Strike's original creator.

The rough estimate is that at the current consumption rate the majority of fossil fuel reserves will be depleted in about 50-100 years. So in 150-200 years total from the start of the industrial age, most of the carbon that has been stored underground slowly during billions of years will be released into the atmosphere practically in one instant.

This is not cyclic change. This is detonating the biosphere and hoping it will gently find a new balance without inconveniencing our behaviors.
