Considering the article mentions large/"splurge" purchases and travel, I doubt that the majority of this is to be accounted for prepping for an economic collapse.
Congrats on the work.
Is the Photoshop via chrome or is this a native application?
UML sucked so much, it took OOP down the drain along with it. Unfortunately, UML also had to contaminate nascent BPM modeling, by making BPMN a fscking "profile" of UML. I'll never forget the look of once motivated process modelers when they learned they need "stereotypes" and such - the result of their modeling was more like a psychoanalysis and beyond useless. Ever had to deal with RMI, EMF, MOF, and UML's weird and unsound meta-modelling "in itself" for exchanging model data modulo the worst of XML? To hell with it.

I’ve literally just started using TablePlus as I get it as part of SetApp so this is a really handy comparison. I was tempted to give this a try but sounds like I’m getting something very similar with TablePlus for money I’m already spending each month.

BeeKeeper looks very nice from what I can see though so might still try it.

Can there be overlaps between fonts in the private use area?
A good life hack is to stop doing that.
I'm not a lawyer, etc. In many jurisdictions you have a legal obligation to provide a sample for testing of intoxication when driving. (You consent to this by agreeing to drive.) In those jurisdictions, refusal to provide a sample is the same as intoxicated driving. I believe the UK is such a jurisdiction. That is to say, the offence is worded in a way where refusing to provide a sample has the same punishment as driving while intoxicated. So you may end up convicted of the drunk driving offence anyway. But you will also appear remorseless, like you were trying to game the system to get away with drunk driving. Which will likely result in a harsher sentence than if you showed contrition.
It's better than "polarised but unbalanced".
Quatt.io | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Full-time | Hybrid/ONSITE | https://quatt.io | climate tech

I'm head of Software at Quatt, a quickly growing startup building hybrid heatpumps to help fix climate change. Heating and cooling is 50% of all energy used in the EU, and heatpumps have a 10x higher return on investment for CO2 saved per Euro invested than electric cars. We're building the most accessible and smartest heatpump on the market. Our product is live, being installed daily, and I really like the impact we're having.

I'm looking for 3 roles for my team, as we believe having the best software will allow us to have the best product.

* Full stack developer (Node/typescript + React)
* Data warehouse engineer
* Low code developer.

Now is a great time to join, as the software team is still small but growing quickly. These and other vacancies are on our careers page: https://www.quatt.io/working-at-quatt

Email me directly ( hacker-news-username@quatt.io ) for questions or apply via the career page.

> about being able to transform the output using functions.

Can't one always use functions to transform other functions' outputs?

> If your static analyzer is a function, you could now write `fmap staticAnalyzer myParser`.

rolls eyes

def compile(text):
ast = parse(text)
ir, symtable = static_analyze(ast)
asm = lower(ir, symtable)
return assemble(asm)

Ability to write that in the point-free style is really not that important, IMHO.
> It's a statement about immigrants being people

It's also a statement against rational thinking and discussions because it portrays both sides to an almost satirical level: "no borders" vs "all migrants are thieves/murderer/bombers"
Looking at the 4 team members referenced in the different thread [0], we can tell they are a team of 4 people, one of them are university student and 3 high school students. Maybe we shouldn't bash them too badly and instead encourage them tempering around and contribute to open source more in the future?

This is a really odd table. The UK and Greece are one liter apart, but the cultures are vastly, greatly different. It kind of makes me question the whole metric, or at least whether it has any bearing on how people actually drink socially.
I suspect it may not be able to cool quickly enough. When a cloud collapses the gravitational potential energy goes into heat, and that heat has to be radiated for the collapse to continue. If the gas is too cold or too low in density it may not (I am guessing) be able to do this fast enough before the cloud is either disrupted or accretes too much additional gas.
> or even just replace it with a dumb phone?

They're not easily available anymore. My provider only has Android and IPhone, even the flip-phone that looks like a dumbphone is running Android.

Edit: Ah they do still have one brand of non-smartphone. It costs several times as much as the Android flip-phone, so I didn't see it at first.
And the previous policy was 7 years for most models. The original poster was still blatantly lying.
I really want one of these eink monitors but the price has to come down. I totally see the appeal and have lots of use cases in mind but I just can't justify the cost yet.
Good times. If you click on the sun switch the entire UI gets zeroed out and you get to use on:hover mouse shtick to read the UI through a fuzzy radius. Is Yoko Ono designing websites now?
I've seen tools that work like this - Microsoft's earlier kicks at entity framework tried to do it for SQL table block diagrams. They would constantly get out-of-sync as merges happened and were generally a pain to manage.

I'd rather a tool just let me give it hints of "this is an important block put it somewhere high visibility" and "this is semantically the root of a tree" and stuff like that, then just focus on having a good clean layout engine.

It can, just use `-` characters for bullets, like in Markdown. They won't render as Unicode bullet points but dashes are fine enough.
> Contextual advertising is said to be privacy-safe because it eliminates the need for cookies, third-party trackers, and the processing of other personal data. [..] However, the current state of contextual advertising does not look anything like our plain understanding of it

No - what we want is less tracking - contextual advertising is simply a side-effect. The author seems well intentioned, but she is fighting industry smoke and mirrors. Arguing what is contextual and what is behavioral is a distraction - the point is that they're still tracking us, even when they call it "contextual" (they've simply expanded the meaning of "context" to cover user location, recent browsing history, even chat messages...).

Especially pernicious the claim that contextual is worse than behavioral because it involves "Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, natural language processing models for tone and sentiment analysis, computer vision, audio analysis, and more". This implies behavioral advertising does not have access to, or does not use, all of these techniques as well. Why wouldn't it?
Hm, interesting idea. And then they might not have done user authentication at all. Also an interestingly bad practice, plausible, but non obvious and not in any way hinted at by the article.

I have a friend that growing up would talk non-stop about how backwards the US was for having a 21 year old drinking age, compared to Europe where it wasn't as "normalized" ... I feel vindicated looking at these stats.
I still use a core 2 duo some days. For basic web browsing (albeit with a pihole on the network) and shelling, it works fine. I think it’s the longest running machine I have.

A Thinkpad X200 - not wiped in 13 years (since installing Arch). Truly a frankenstein’s monster of a machine now. Hardware mods are so easy on this thing - I switched to an SSD probably 10 years ago, some RAM upgrades. Upgraded Wi-Fi card a few times (mostly based off mainline kernel driver support). Touchpad a couple times, keyboard at least the same. Keeping Arch running on this machine without wiping everything is the only think keeping my Linux skills sharp in the era of company-issued macs.

So there are definitely some features I'd like to add / improve upon:
- json/yaml/etc validation
- better pre-filtering before the openAI api call to save money
- custom select (instead of the whole page)
- adjustable models
- the page doesn't disappear when you close it / data caching

but before those, I wanted to launch it to see if anyone would actually use this besides me. Let me know!
I’ll make sure to invite you then :)
I’ve personally never seen one in a mall but I’m also not in the South.

I doubt that the majority of this is to be accounted for prepping for an economic collapse.

I think it can be. People already have all their toilet paper and paper towels. Only half kidding. If something is about to go down they may not be able to buy those splurge items for several years or longer and they certainly would not be able to travel. So getting that out of the way now makes a lot of sense to me. Risky but it makes sense. Risky in that one may be stuck wherever they traveled and may not have access to their money.
They retroactively changed the article, that's where I got the quote from

Oh I'd forgotten about this part:

Ask HN: What open source software do you wish existed, but does not?
I'm curious if there's any consensus around the problems that could be solved with software, but aren't getting any attention from the open source community.

In a world of public software forges chock-full of open source software, it's hard to imagine that there are problems that could be solved with software that aren't getting any attention. But I suspect there are many.

I use "software" broadly here. Answers may refer to libraries and frameworks for developers, but perhaps more importantly, applications for both highly technical and average users.

My hope is that this question both reveals solutions that already exist for which others thought none existed, and real gaps where the open source community can step in and start creating solutions.

SEEKING WORK | Croatia, EU (UTC+1) | REMOTE ONLY

Experienced full stack software engineer with a demonstrated history (10+ years) of working with enterprise solutions on premise and in cloud. I don't shy away from maintaining old code bases or learning new/old technologies and I'm very comfortable wearing many hats and would even like to try something new like QA automation.

I love working directly with stake holders, even if they don't have engineering background. I can also team up with other freelancers and I know a few I've worked before in case you need more hands on deck, or need someone with a specialization, e.g. UI/UX design, translations...

Beyond Hypothesis Tests & P-Values: Iterative Refinement in Science and Business
Via Chrome. They demoed it a while ago, and I can’t find any changes to that since. Basically streaming from a cloud instance.
I wonder whether this could be something of a missed opportunity for the Ukrainian armed forces. Reports of public support in Russia for the war varies between surveys, but it's clearly not 100%. It's not inconceivable therefore that the director of the Uralvagonzavod armaments company might actually want to help the Ukrainian who phoned, especially if additional orders to replace the captured tanks are increasing the company's revenue.

By laughing and hanging up, this Kochevnik has probably burnt any good will (be that from empathy, support or plain non-partisan professionalism on the part of the Uralvagonzavod company), got the director who helped him into trouble with the Russian authorities and prematurely ended 'plausible deniability' for further assistance for other Ukrainians in the future. Was the press coverage really worth that for the Ukrainians?
I found this paragraph particularly interesting:

> Trimming the working set of a process doesn’t actually save memory. It just moves the memory from the working set of the process to the standby list. Then, if the system is under memory pressure the pages in the standby list are eligible to be compressed, or discarded (if unmodified and backed by a file), or written to the page file. But “eligible” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. The OS doesn’t immediately do anything with the page, generally speaking. And, if the system has gobs of free and available memory then it may never do anything with the page, making the trimming pointless. The memory isn’t “saved”, it’s just moved from one list to another. It’s the digital equivalent of paper shuffling.

I'd always been under the impression that as soon as memory was trimmed from the working set. Perhaps this was the case at some point, and was a reason for the PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN priority? As the blog mentions, the SetPriorityClass call has had this behavior since at least 2015, though I wouldn't be surprised if this behavior has existed for much longer.

As for why this "bug" hasn't been fixed, my guess is that it's due to a couple of factors:

- Windows has become fairly good over the years at keeping the core UI responsive even when the system is under heavy load.

- There are plenty of ways to reduce memory/CPU usage that don't involve a call to SetPriorityClass. I'd wager that setting a process's priority class is not the first thing that would come to mind.

- As a result of the previous two points, the actual number of programs using that call is quite small. I'd actually be interested in knowing what, if any, parts of Windows use it.

(As a side note, if there was a bug in a Windows API function, how would you even report it?
It's against zero immigration and building walls to keep out irregular immigrants (by definition) like refugees, none of that implies unchecked immigration.
Can a map of the ocean floor be crowdsourced?
They changed the article after I got the quote from there. You can see the original quote ("The deaths came as a result of head trauma, with at least three of the accidents happening with the rider in a helmet") in Google Search results, but if you click on the article, the sentence isn't there anymore
I think the shift from blackberries to iphones/touch-devices is symbolic of what phones were used for.

Blackberry was a work device. So the keyboard was uncompromisable so you could send emails.

But the iphone is a consumption device. So you need to fit as much screen as possible on it. And you're only supposed to absorb information, not put it back out there.
I believe this is on-track.. without debating the finer points of the publishing industry, I would say this topic reminds me of "National Biscuit Company" creating products that can be stored and shipped across a continent, while every local town already had a bakery industry of some kind
> exactly the same

Of course except it's only the same if they're closely connected.

Here in Norway, while energy regions are connected throughout the country, the cables are quite limited between certain areas. So generation here might not help for usage there.

So being able to control usage, or having extra batteries connected near the loads, can be even more useful than extra generator capacity far away.

I don't understand how people can exist in such a clear dissonance state (Elon provides Starklink to Ukraine as a means to help Russsia, and does not offer it to Russia), and not step back and think.

Like its so clear that your constructed narrative is wrong, but you are so blinded by emotion that you are totally unable to see it. Even worse, you won't even be able to read this comment without assigning it as musk propaganda written by some drooling fan boy.

Seriously, the anti-musk people managed to become just as detached as the musk worshippers. If you want to be critical, get a grip, otherwise its easy for musk to hold up his detractors as idiots.
I did not know about this: "The center of the A.I. cover songs community is a massive 500,000+ member Discord called A.I. Hub, where members trade new tips, tools, techniques, and links to their original and cover songs."
> As another note, the mRNA platform has a few concerns that the viral vector vaccines do not.

E.g. the target patient might already have a good immune response to the vector hull. I.e. the patient's immune systems would destroy the vaccine before it can do its work. One of the vector vaccines against covid did use two different vectors because of that. But repeated usage of the same vector might decrease its effectiveness.
If you're suggesting Russia doesn't supply soldiers with match grade ammo you're correct. For the average infantryman I'm not sure how much it matters.

We were in the first 100 customers to get dsl in STL. It took 1.5 years and escalating to a vice president to get it to work as both a phone line and dsl. Their billing system was miffed as dsl was commercial. My friends worked there and had oracle access (swbell) and could easily see the mismatch, but couldn't fix it. They ended up giving us our old dialup second phone line for free and dsl for free for 3 years to solve it.

Wife also worked for att and dsl was cheap for them except the billing system swore my apt was in another county and would send the installers there constantly. Took 8 months and was only fixed when wife went on a tour of a facility and mentioned it to an engineer and their VP.
