really need to somehow get airlines to give this a code review and try this in real life somehow.
With loom you can edit it quite easily. I currently use Kap (on MacOS). Tool quality it not as good as Loom. Needs more maintainers I guess.

For me, something like Loom without the online-first approach would be nice. It doesn't exist. I searched. Screenshot tools are a solved problem, screen capturing isn't.
You can install open source software on a PC from the early 2000s that predates the Intel Management Engine and use it as a firewall.

Then you use default deny and allow only e.g. a VPN connection.
We could ask what Hamas would do if the power imbalance was the other way.

We both know that you know the answer to that.

Right now no one that's anyone cares about what Israel is going to do to Hamas. Hamas is now like ISIS, the shining path, the red brigades, the Khmer Rouge. Their non existence is a priority.

2 days ago in Australia the pro-palenstinian protestors were chanting gas the Jews.

https://github.com/dhruvkar/tracktrace

This was a project to track shipping containers across shipping lines and railyards (USA only).

I lost steam when I saw companies form around this (e.g. https://www.vizionapi.com/).

I still think it would be a valuable project, but not enough desire to do this.
Look at January 6th. Many people came to "peacefully protest" the election and got swept up in doing something they didn't expect to do.

I don't know if you can conclusively prove they were directly linked, but we've seen how online people get radicalized by finding a community that espouses abhorrent ideas and then go on to commit crimes in service of that community. Real life gatherings and protests can have the same radicalizing effect in certain cases. That's not to say all of them do - the ideology behind the protest matters.

I agree that focusing on death threats would be a better approach - the problem is that it's very hard to find perpetrators and very easy to commit. Deterrence doesn't scale in that case.
This is an interesting exhibit as KDE Connect is an example of a powerful app. Powerful apps that do non-trivial things are needed to extract the potential of these wonderful devices. But they sail too close to the wind for the gatekeepers that rather keep them dumb devices locked and "safe".

Over time this is going to stiffle innovation big time.
Very cool.

I'd say Japan also lost much of their culture during a process of westernization, before and after WWII, but the resulting amalgamation was much more potent (especially memetically) than the mess that China ended up with after Mao.
This is a fascinating thought! It could send all the data to the cloud, but all those sensors going all the time would be a lot of constant data to send, and would use a lot of mobile data which would be unacceptable to many people (including probably the mobile networks). If it's running locally though, the data could we quickly analyzed and probably deleted, avoiding long term storage issues. There's got to be a lot of interesting things you could do with that kind of data
> If that's true then the converse is also true: bad students become bad by surrounding them with other bad students.

The converse does not have to be true, only the contrapositive.

And in the case of a human’s tendencies, it is easier to become less disciplined than it is to become more disciplined. Bad habits are easier and likelier to pickup than good habits. Forming a tight knit high trust family/community is much more difficult than dissolving it. Etc.

Ask HN: How do I start over at 37?
Quick background: Grew up in an immigrant household with very little in the way of resources, guidance, encouragement. Was enamored by Silicon Valley and tech from a young age, but foolishly followed the family tradition of medicine despite hating it as I felt I had no choice. Went to medical school, dropped out, worked a few odd end gigs for the next couple years, stumbled into a PM role that I was let go from due to performance.

I am now 37 without an impressive educational or professional background, no network of colleagues, no mastery in any one skill, and a whole lot of mental health debt. And yet the child inside of me still wants to pursue the scrappy Silicon Valley tech dream.

Am I deluded? Where do I even begin?
You don’t need to suspect. Their voting history is public information. Here’s Mitch Mcconnell’s: https://www.ontheissues.org/International/Mitch_McConnell_Im...

Note the several guest worker/etc. programs he has voted yes for.

As for the borders, it’s beyond ridiculous that border patrol was ordered to stand down and watch immigrants stream in. It’s an offense to the many hard workers who put in the effort to come here legally. And liberals are finally staring to understand the issue, but it took conservatives hissing their huddled masses to the so called “sanctuary cities” for them to get it.
Translating looks not possible, I shouldn't have said 'move' in my list. At least you can add constants in the formula to move...
Challenges for future research publishers to ease the pressure on reviewers
Go fixes HTTP/2 rapid reset vulnerability
Nothing about metal content?
USB-C and replaceable batteries will solve a lot of it.

Gadgets are mostly just a battery, a computer, and an IO device.

With the battery and charging made reliable, the computer already near indestructible, and the plastic case pretty low-resource-use, all that can fail is the IO device, and if you're gonna replace that, it's not much better than a whole new device, since the rest is an empty box with a tiny PCB.

Real repairability would be nice, and we really need replaceable flash memory on phonelike stuff, but I think we're on the right track.

A bigger issue is the same problem with furniture: the devices don't wear out, but a better one comes out. This could be mostly solved with OTA firmware updates in everything, since modern devices have close to perfected the IO device.

I think the star trek utopia solution would be a set of standardized gadget modules. Then things could be fixed the same way we fixed stuff in the vacuum tube era.

I think 95% of gadgets ever made, from guitar tuners to washing machines, could have all the electronics replaced with one universal common standard board and one of a set of maybe 15 or so different modules.

Having spares of all of them would let you fix anything in minutes, for probably only a few extra dollars per product.

Of course it would do nothing to solve mechanical failures which in my experience are like, 10 or 20 times more common, but it would allow upgrading electronics for new features.
My first laptop was also a Toshiba but it was loud and plastickey and had some ACPI issue that meant power management didn’t work properly with Linux. For years I wished it was a Lenovo.
>Supporting civilians in Gaza is not going “mask off”.

The great thing about free speech is that if French demonstrators just support the humanitarian needs and basic rights and freedoms of Gazan civilians, then we'll see that when they demonstrate freely. And if they do like the demonstrators in Sydney and yell, "gas the Jews!", we'll see that too.
That's a single point of failure. The centralized system goes down and your whole country's transportation system is dead. Politicians may want that but it's an extraordinarily bad idea and it's possible that there are enough people who understand that in e.g. the military with the political influence to prevent it.

It also kind of defeats the entire concept of self-driving cars, which is that they can work without that. They have to be able to work in places with bad wireless reception or a power outage in the traffic control system, not only because of the single point of failure but because things like that could happen while the vehicle is in motion.

Meanwhile there is no legitimate reason to make them mandatory because people already have the incentive to use a system that provides quicker routes. There is no law requiring people to use Waze, but they do.
It's hard to say. My theory is that the demand for complicated browsers is largely reciprocal to the power of your OS. If you have a Chromebook, then your browser is probably less locked-down than your root system. Same thing would happen if Chrome's Blink engine got put on iOS.

Winning that battle would probably look like one of two things:

- Browsers go back to their original goal of being document renderers, and a new wave of local and online APIs fills in the gaps.

- Browsers stay the way they are, but with broken tooling that forces developers into native APIs whether they want it or not.
Thanks, I've never used HN before and I was just told by multiple people to reply here. I don't know the culture so I'll read into that and look at making a post.

I recently released this recipe search engine focused on finding recipes with your target macros.

I’m switching gears to focus on a real startup, but this was a fun little project that’ll never see real completion. I got the basics of a meal planner working (this was a cool problem to solve) but there was a massive amount of data labeling work required to take it to the next level.
And once you've used that API to download and tag everything, what tools do you use to interactively view the results, run search queries, apply patches to local trees etc?

If your on-disk format is an Mbox or a Maildir, you can use tools like notmuch and its emacs integration to do it.

Now don't get me wrong; I love GitHub. I host all my projects there, and I prefer PRs+issues to mailinglists in almost all cases. But for massive projects like Linux, a mailinglist (and associated tooling) scales better, in my opinion.
sorry to tell you, but you're wrong lmao
The way LLMs process text is a lot like a typical human (top-of-the-head answer vs actually analyzing the question in depth). This is a recurring pattern with the current LLMs I've interacted with (ex., A: "x" Q: "but what about y?" A: "oh, you're right, now that I [actually] think about it, really z"). Example (Anthropic's Claude):

Q: if one basket contains 5 apples and another basket contains 3 plums, and another basket contains 2 walnuts how many fruits are there combined?
A: The first basket contains \*5 apples\*. The second basket contains \*3 plums\*. The third basket contains \*2 walnuts\*. Adding up the numbers of fruits in each basket, there are a total of \*5 + 3 + 2 = 10 fruits combined\*.
Q: is a walnut a fruit?
A: You're right, a walnut is not technically a fruit. A walnut is a type of tree nut. To correctly answer the original question:
The first basket contains 5 apples. The second basket contains 3 plums. While the third basket contains 2 walnuts, walnuts are not fruits. So the total number of fruits combined is 5 apples + 3 plums = 8 fruits.
CVEs aren't restricted to only consider default configs.
I would love to have this, as someone that has to use Jira. Instead we have to extensively talk to QA (not too bad) or BAs/POs (usually bad) to figure out what someone's problem is.
>Employers have the right to fire anyone for almost any reason in the US.

Yeah, and that's a load of utter bullshit.
It is both a loophole and the main point.

It's the main point for people who want their children to succeed at the expense of the rest of society and it's a loophole when they try to sell that concept to the rest of society as "we can teach better for cheaper so give us your tax money and let us replace universal public education" rather than "we have thrown some of your children on the scrapheap for you to expensively support for the rest of their lives and either don't understand or don't care that this is of net negative value".
Not OP, but I recently had a manager in Germany (I'm in the US) say something like that.

Not that he was bad at German, necessarily, but that it was overly complex vs English, so he and his significant other even used English at home when they both didn't have to.

This is just one example, of course.

I was actually surprised to hear him say that (though it may have been to thwart my attempts at speaking some German when we had a meeting. I don't know any German,lol).

This is such an on-brand HN response. “You don’t need Loom, just do these [10 inconvenient steps] and it’s the same”.

How do you share and upload those videos? Where are they hosted? Can you set a CTA on the video? Get transcripts? Find who has viewed your video? Add a custom thumbnail? Get comments on your video? Set a description?

These are all baked-in things that Loom handles, not to mention one-click recording that doesn’t involve wiring together 3 different apps.

> The remaining eight mice are euthanized and preserved (formalin, ethanol or MELFI) for return to Earth to be weighed in order to ensure the mice have not lost weight over the course of their stay aboard the Rodent Habitat which will confirm that the supply of water and food was sufficient.

At first I thought "shouldn't you weigh them before altering their weight with preservatives?" but then I remembered that this is in a zero-g environment, making weighing mice a bit more difficult than on Earth. Maybe a "space scale" measuring inertial mass instead could work?

Anyway, Christian followers already expect science to bring faith into question.

I'm one such follower who believes science and faith can describe the same truth, as long as the science and faith are both accurate. Both are systems of experimentation, trial and error. There is much we can learn from historical records!
uPlaybook2: https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook2

This is a python-syntax re-imagining of Ansible / Cookiecutter: declarative IT automation and project templating. It's fairly early, but the heart of it is there: I'm able to create files/directories and render templates, running it displays status, I have most of the "magic" implemented that makes it less like Python and more like Ansible. The CLI entry-point is minimal, I need to basically forklift over the uPlaybook1 argument handling code and playbook search/selection.

Would love feedback from someone who is familiar with Python and Ansible about the direction of the YAML -> Python for playbook syntax, but I worry that it's too early to even give that.

Basically it's uPlaybook (v1) but with the Ansible-inspired YAML playbooks reimagined as Python: https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook

Yes, the demonstrators in the USA who cried "glory to the martyrs!" were pro-Hamas, at least in their own words.
I've snapped more micro-usb connectors than any other type that I can think of, which might be why i view them as not being very durable, but I've also used quite a few more devices that use micro-usb than mini, so it's not exactly a fair comparison.

In either case, USB type C seems to be mostly better than either.
Where is that?

Source for your beg button claim? I've only seen that term used with a political spin. (And yes, I tried looking it up)
> It's a no-brainer that the party to yield should be the one who can yield.

Alternative no-brainer - the new entrant to street traffic that doesn't have the handling or control to safely co-habitate the street with existing users shouldn't be allowed onto streets. They should instead be restricted to specific and limited long distance routes that actually take advantage of their ability to travel many miles an hour on an artificial fuel source - with an allowance within streets to allow emergency vehicles of course.

In short, walk or take a tram to your parked car if you need to drive it to the next town.
I can't in good faith use this website. If that's their only defense against piracy, corruption runs deep.
One related way to think about this is that, if (non-utilitarian) people are ever able to change their own utility functions, other people's utilitarianism gives them an incentive to do so, because it can make them more likely to get what they want.

For example, if you can learn to feel sadder about something, other people who want to minimize your sadness will acquire an incentive to help you avoid that thing, even at some cost to themselves.

In many moral intuitions, you find the world as it is and then act on it in some way, without other people strategizing about, or being incentivized by, your moral reasoning. But when other people can do those things, you can get very weird outcomes.

I find that most of what I do, on any given day, is finding interesting stuff and sending it to people to see what they have to say about it. Hackernews is pretty effective at doing this, so it feels like i’m more or less building hackernews but with power-user features for collecting and sharing stuff.

The solution is to apply the right tooling to the right task, to maximize ROI:

* The DIR (do it right) tooling, which always is in limited supply, is best for building things that have a high lifetime impact. It could have direct impact; it could be a gear in the foundation of many future products.

* The CBF tooling is for low lifetime impact work. Inevitably, because you are human, you'll use your CBF tooling at times. Know when that is happening and apply it to the right project: For example, the quick script to clean and transform some unique data.

In other words, the advice in life is always the same: Know thyself.
It would have been a delightful addition and honestly would have kept us much safer. It was fairly easy to keep Orion's belt just port of the mast, but occasionally cloud cover or weather would make that more difficult.
That is awesome! Deplaning is the worst. If you can convince airlines to adopt this you deserve to be hailed as a hero!
What I am saying is that we are getting "scalable websites" today individually, but it has cost us overall resiliency because most of us all are hiding behind the big providers. I am not so sure if this is a good trade-off.
PDF intro:

In 1953, William James Scott showed that microbial growth in food is governed not by water content, as most people thought, but by water activity. Four years later, he established the concept of a minimum water activity for microbial growth. Water activity is now routinely used by food manufacturers to determine whether or not a product is susceptible to microbial proliferation.

Like all organisms, microorganisms rely on water for growth. They take up water by moving it across the cell membrane. This water movement mechanism depends on a water activity gradient—on water moving from a high water activity environment outside the cell to a lower water activity environment within the cell.
He said it was at a right turn light. That suggests an intersection where there is a specific traffic light for controlling right turns.

Those are usually synchronized with the walk signals controlling the crosswalks that the right turns will cross, so that the car does not have a green at the same time the pedestrians have a walk signal.
I was thinking exactly the same…
