> I tried the first line and in some situations (specifically with some remotes, i.e. kitty -> ssh -> tmux with that 1st line) it still won't fix it.

You likely need all of them ;-)

IIRC it "fixes" terminfo stuff "within tmux" for kitty regardless of what $TERM is set. Mind you, I was using the latest tmux at that time. tmux 3.2?

Here's the issue I had: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3018

Looks like it should be fixed on a very recent tmux; otherwise this MIGHT help:

set-option -as terminal-features ',xterm-kitty:RGB'

... or not.
I suppose these are technically sailboats by some definition, but they look like oversized kite boards to me, with one having more structure to the "sail" than the other.
Which AWS services do you think are more cost effective? Cost is rarely the reason I've chosen AWS over another provider.

But I don't think Render is competing with AWS head-on in regards to cost. They're very much trying to fill that Heroku niche of hosting providers geared towards developers who don't want to manage VMs let alone a k8s cluster. And as Heroku has proven, there is money to be made charging a premium for such convenience.

According to the judge of the trial, most of the evidence was circumstantial [1]. I don't know which part of the evidence the judge considered circumstantial, and which not.

The police have said that the duty roster spreadsheet shown to the jurors was an important piece of evidence used to convince the jurors [2].

The spreadsheet in question has been circulated in the media (I'm assuming, by the police) and it can be found in various places [3].

Looking at that spreadsheet there is something that immediately jumps out to me and that makes me think that at least that piece of "statistical" evidence was downright dodgy.

I am curious to know if anyone else on HN sees the same thing. Here's a direct link to the image on the Mail website:

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/08/18/22/74487747-12286051...

To be clear: I'm not trying to trap anyone, I'm just really curious to see what everyone else thinks _about this particular piece of evidence_.

Summing up at the end of her trial, judge Mr Justice Goss told the jury it was a case in which the prosecution "substantially, but not wholly" relied on circumstantial evidence.

[2] https://theweek.com/law/lucy-letby-and-the-importance-of-und...

Chief among these was the duty roster spreadsheet showing staff shifts, through which the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was "able to show the jury that Letby was the one common denominator in the series of deaths and sudden collapses on the neonatal unit".

I'm basically $200-300 round-trip to get a car to take me into the city. At that point, I'm probably going to make a weekend out of it whether I take commuter rail in or not--and I'm not going to do it very often. We're talking probably a thousand dollars at that point between hotel and transportation and whatever the actual activity is.

(And I'm not sure from a driving in perspective what's actually been gained relative to me taking my own car in and parking in a garage which is what I usually do.)

I tend to agree. Their computer service is 4x more expensive than Fargate, which is expensive already.

You gotta really hate AWS's UX to use a service like that.

I think HN is too liberal (in American terms) to focus the Denial Astroturf on. That plays better with more conservative segments. Liberal audiences are fed the Consumer Awareness Cope: drive less and grow your own tomatos on your veranda. Corporations don't cause climate change because consumers need to buy stuff from corporations for them to survive.

And since this is a wealthy and techy audience you can dial up the upper-middle class fantasies of just buying an EV, installing solar on your roofs, and getting Tesla batteries for your own home.

Go a little further still and you reach the Geoengineering Cope... which also fits here...
I was expecting some sort of systemic problem across the operating system, but it seems to be just one specific bug in WebKit—though there is also a link to “our recent post on problems in macOS Sonoma and the replies”, and though it does sound to be a rather debilitating bug for affected users, and though this sort of bug making it to production can be a symptom of systemic problems in the organisation.

This, like many other ideas combining cars and public transport, sounds like something that doesn't scale. The exact numbers vary, but the passenger capacity of a car train is usually something like 1/2 of a normal night train or 1/3 of a normal day train, assuming that the train is fully dedicated to carrying people with cars. You also need special facilities and longer stops, because cars can't just dismount at normal platforms in a couple of minutes. On popular routes, this all means that you take more cars off the road by not carrying cars on the train.

They don't need to intuit it. The next version of base will have a warning on `head` telling them to use a safer alternative instead.

> And as Heroku has proven, there is money to be made charging a premium for such convenience

Heroku proved you can get many people to use your service by offering free stuff. Maybe there was a reason they sold the business.
I'm honestly trying to understand why this would be useful.

So you want to use drugs and now you know that you can do this without being arrested. But the pharmacy isn't allowed to sell them to you, you have to get them from the black market. You go to the guy on the street corner, you pay money, you get drugs. The law doesn't punish you for this so you can keep trying until you succeed. The law tries to punish him, but he's making money so there are ten thousand guys lined up behind him whenever he gets arrested.

If you're the sort of person who uses them irresponsibly you get addicted. Then, because you have to buy them from the black market, what should have cost $10 for a bottle of 100 now costs $10/dose so you resort to stealing to get your fix.

If you're the sort of person who uses them responsibly, you think you're getting a dose equivalent of 10mg of the drug but this time it's actually a dose equivalent of 200mg and you get addicted anyway, or overdose. Or the drug is cut with drain cleaner.

Meanwhile you still have all the problems with gangs killing each other over territory etc.

What advantage does this have over letting people buy drugs at the convenience store?
In the US, the IRS can audit your taxes going back at least seven years. So, you should keep at least seven years worth of the documents that you might need to produce during an audit.

And there are some important documents you want to keep longer than that -- birth certificates, wedding certificates, death certificates, documentation around the house you buy, documentation around your car, any personal health documents you keep, etc....

So, you'll want to have electronic copies of all that, and ideally backed up to an offsite location, in case you have a fire in your house. If you at least have electronic copies of those documents, even if you lose the original document in a fire, there's a good chance you can use that information to get new certified copies sent to you by the appropriate city/state government in question.

So, yeah, this can become a thing that needs to be carefully monitored and managed over the decades.
> basically $200-300 round-trip to get a car to take me into the city

The congestion charge will be between $9 and $23. For certain parts of Manhattan. During certain hours. It sounds like your problem is where you live, fundamentally, not the charge.

> a thousand dollars at that point between hotel and transportation

You do see how, from a resident's perspective, you spending more money less frequently is not a downside?

> what's actually been gained relative to me taking my own car in and parking in a garage

A reduction in space wasted to parking. Also, congestion: your car adds a car to the road. (You're also a non-professional driver in a dense urban environment.)
It's important to keep in mind that the post-it note [1] with the "confession" was not meant as a confession, for example it wasn't a signed confession and it wasn't accepted by Lucy Letby as a confession. The prosecution pointed out to the note as a confession.

I have no idea how much that affected the jury but it's just as important to remember that false confessions are a thing, and a common thing at that [2], and they have led to many false convictions. The wikipedia article I cite has a _very_ long list from many places in the world.

At the end of the day, innocent people can confess and guilty people can maintain their innocence. A confession is no more reason to accept guilt than protestations of innocence are reason to assume innocence.

Again, I don't know how much the jury were influenced by the note, but, anecdotally, the press has certainly held it up as some sort of evidence, and I've seen people on the internet take it as such, also. See for example a parent comment.

> I basically drowned into a marsh of incomprehensible language extensions which were somehow required for pretty much every single library

I also see this a lot, but do you really have to understand language extensions? These days one just enables GHC2021 as though it were the "language" and completely forgets that technically there are "extensions" behind it. Haskell (or rather GHC) has really suffered from trying to be a good citizen. It gates new features behind `LANGUAGE` pragmas and rather than saying "oh, that's very polite behaviour, let me just do some simple busywork to get access to the new features" people say "oh no, these language extensions are scary and confusing things". They're really not! Mostly they're just about removing unnecessary restrictions from the older standard.

- Apple is very much a personal computer company. They make iMovie, Photos, Apple TV, Pages, etc for personal end users. If you’ve used some of Apple’s pro apps like Final Cut or Logic, you’d know they can design for pro users - but macOS as a whole is the opposite, getting more simplistic over time as they cater more to consumers. The Mac is a good pro computer IN SPITE of it being designed for consumers.

- many people in the blind community are dishonest? Wtf. This just sounds like discrimination to me.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

It seems to me that the proposal is missing a vital pathway between Earth and Mars.

Clearly no existing or future electromagnetic method of communication will be able
to handle the growth of data on the internet when trying to communicate to space.

Consider the possibility of sending bulk data on a regular basis. It could be loaded
on robots with ion thrusters[0]. Energy could be provided by the sun. The idea is that
the internet nodes above Mars would get regular bulk delivery of the daily/weekly
news albeit rather time delayed due to transit time of the bulk carrier.

This "fleet of station wagons" or maybe "tesla roadsters" [1] could shuttle "this week's
internet traffic". This frees up bandwidth as a lot of information (e.g. video) can be
available in the local orbit rather than transmitted. The robot wagons can easily
shuttle between Earth based "super-bandwidth uploads" and Mars based "Google
in the sky" queries.

Such wagons could also act as relay stations while they were in transit making it
easier to handle regular path sun-based outages. They could also supply replacement
parts for failing orbiting stations.

The net benefit is that most of what is needed on the internet (e.g. how to fix a pump)
would be locally and nearly instantly available without tying up bandwidth.

Well it depends. C is the lingua franca of Computer Science. These days I write a lot of code that needs to be accessible to a variety of languages and environments. Python, C#, C++, Matlab, Unity, Unreal, etc.

Write a C API and your code can be used anywhere. Now if you know you only ever need to support Python then sure look into PyO3. But if you have mixed use you can’t be the flexibility of a C API.
