No one's disputing that.

What's funny is that most people don't seem to realize that that the color of the juice isn't the color of the rind.

Just look at illustrations of orange juice on Google Images:

https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+juice+illustration&tb...

Most of them are showing an orange liquid that matches the color of the orange rind. It's hilarious. Because somehow, most people don't realize orange juice is yellow, even though they might drink it every morning.
Here is how the main factor incentivizing this sloppy engineering behavior is justified: everything is cast in terms of making money. Revenue is good -- fine. Therefore no revenue is bad -- doesn't follow and you need to justify that somehow.
For Unifi cameras I switched from Homebridge to Scrypted. The streams load near instant when on the same network. All around a much more polished experience.
> For very small shops willing to incur legal risk or limit the application pool, you can do take home tests and/or lean on side projects, with an hour of explaining the nitty gritty details and choices. At scale it becomes untenable, because you open yourself up for discrimination lawsuits, and you can't convince a lot of people who already have jobs and families to do lengthier take home stuff.

At the end of the day, programming is just a writing job. So if you apply for non-technical writing jobs, e.g. to be a columnist at The New York Times or The New Yorker, do they not read any of your preexisting work on the grounds that it could open them up to discrimination lawsuits? Similarly, do folks who hire designers typically not look at their portfolios?

Good Christ, my rent has gone up ~20% over the last 2 years, and we've just been no-fault evicted for the second year running.
It’s not a utility though. That’s a very specific word for a type of quasi nationalized entity that is allowed to get set profit for specific performance. They have specific regulation and laws around them that go above and beyond what private corporations have.

Complaining that your electric utility dropped service to your data center for hosting certain speech is a much different claim than complaining that a hosting provider dropped your website because of certain speech
The internet works because a global apolitical consortium makes sure to overcome differences and just keep it fucking working.

The moment a country like China or Russia goes completely rogue against the consortium then they lose access to the internet.

So yes, build your own everything because technology doesn’t exist in an astral plane and even a whole country can get “cancelled”
Sometimes inverting a finding suggests its nuance. In this case, the inverse for a homeowner is it’s a good time to sell and rent.

Except the markets with heavy homeownership also have high rents. If you’re in Manhattan, sure, it might make sense to sell and lease back. But in a lot of the country, I don’t think the math works.
How old are you roughly? The reason I ask is that the eye lens yellows with age and transmits less blue and violet through. So colors that would look blue-green to a younger eye would look more green to an older one.
I mean, it tracks. LinkedIn is very touchy about webscraping.
The explanation at the end says that none of the large open source software projects would fall under the umbrella of open source software because somebody is making money off of it some way.
Thank you for your comment! Every tool has its own purpose. No doubts every tool can help any task. But with different level of effectiveness
Padding is only required if concatenating / streaming encoded data. I.e. when there are padding chars _within_ the encoded stream.

Padding chars at the end (of stream / file / string) can be inferred from the length already processed, and thus are not strictly necessary.

Note how padding is treated is quite subtle, and has resulted in interesting variations in handling as discussed at: https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/361.pdf

This article does not portray the trend as positive. It paints a picture of a generation of terrified, anxious—maybe even traumatized—kids who aren't looking for freedom or responsibility, but to extend their adolescence into adulthood. Maybe it's a natural reaction to the times, maybe not, in any case it does not seem good or healthy.

Totally agree it was a blast. I learned a ton about trading just reading various recommended resources (Harris Trading and Exchanges was a solid intro) and then solving the levels.

I don't think very many players did all the Starfighter trading challenges. patio11 or tptacek might be able to confirm, but I vaguely recall being one of like 100 or so to do all six levels of out of 10,000 that started. But I also had free time for playful coding and was nerding out on online challenges back then.

When Starfighter came out, I was energized and hopeful that hiring would go in this direction for programmers or that it would open doors to me as a job seeker that I couldn't every push through. No such luck.

From the hiring side, I have been on two hiring committees this year. Most applicants lacked any meaningful programming projects they could use to demonstrate skills. Something like completing a series of online challenges would be a difference maker.

That said, one candidate mentioned doing HackerRank challenges to learn Python and SQL, but totally flamed out on being able to even talk through a for loop in Python or come up with a simple select against a table in the in-person interview. Maybe nerves, but it also felt like the candidate's experience was 100% as just a warm body in various cubicle farms. It was very awkward. Several non-developers on the hiring committee felt like the candidate had actively lied about previous experience . . .
As in the dependencies you add don't run their postinstall scripts or your app's package defines a postinstall and that script doesn't run?

The latter should work but the former requires an extra step for now iirc: https://bun.sh/docs/cli/install#lifecycle-scripts
It seems your a bit confused?

A solid pane literally equal in thickness with a typical double pane assembly would practically only ever be used for much higher end products, like armored cars and so on. No one serious would ever consider it for normal commercial coolers.

And the vast majority as of 2023 already use double paned glass, so comparing this at all seems irrelevant.

You don't need to have expert knowledge to insist on your own opinions, but presenting amateur knowledge as if it was doesn't help the discussion. I would recommend studying industry publications if your genuinely curious about this field.
Something is going to break. It will be prices or rates. My guess is prices will fall precipitously and it will happen soon. I further posit that prices will not be "sticky" as they typically are due to the extreme nature of the imbalance. Once the alarm sounds for the exits, it will be stampede verses an orderly departure.

Having sold a home (foreclosure we bought in 2009) in 2021, I am super happy to be renting again. Owning a home is pain in the ass and I say this a person that can remodel a bathroom, install flooring, and fix my own A/C if needed. Constantly on the hook for every problem that invariably crops up is giant time, energy and money drain.

My wife on the other hand, hates renting. She wants to paint the walls and decorate... and nest? We end up spending a crap ton of our time and money on the house. It's 100% emotional for her. I understand, but I don't share those emotions. We have had lots of time to talk about it and it will be different when we buy again. She will have a budget for house stuff and I will not be on the hook for every little thing. In short, she is going to step up for maintenance if she wants to buy a house again.
Rents are stupidly high in my area and usually higher than paying a mortgage plus upkeep even at current rates (at least for single family homes). YMMV.
El Nino is only one small puzzle-piece:
El Niño is a part of the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate pattern, which includes the oceanic component (El Niño/La Niña) and the atmospheric component (Southern Oscillation). The interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere is crucial for the initiation and maintenance of El Niño events.
It's a nice article and has lots of details.

But I searched my photo history for Japan and here are the first few that have traffic lights in them: https://imgur.com/a/S815y7o

Inflation is still higher than the APR you can get on a mortgage if you have good credit. So, nope. You should absolutely borrow.

I'd have to dig up references, but I understand it's a pretty well documented effect that having words for colors is directly related to a population seeing more distinction for those colors.

If I recall, some early societies didn't have a distinction between green and blue. Given that blue often doesnt show up naturally outside of the sky and it's reflections. And in those populations they would be much less sensitive to distinctions in blue-green.
I can only imagine the argument that would have ensued if my parents tried to track me. I definitely would have 'accidentally lost' the device very quickly - and I wasn't especially rebellious for the time. If lots of teens truly want this tracking because they are worried about "what could happen" when they are out without adult supervision I think that hints at a huge societal problem.
Good luck and hope it works out well for you.
Examples? Who’s been saying it and who shat on it?
Houses sitting on the market for months and slowly cutting prices is exactly the kind of market you want as a buyer with cash. The prospect of being able to close in days without bank approvals will get you a hefty discount. Sure waiting a bit longer might be a good decision, but now is still a good time.
The hardware/software industry needs to be regulated by levying a carbon tax and pollution tax.

The first iPhone/Android were great innovations. And subsequent iterations occasionally added better features -- but not each year.

Phones are one example, but all we are doing is shoving more carbon the air, putting more trash on the streets and land fills, more water for datacenters, more plastic and chemicals in the oceans and our bodies.

Currently widespread censorship against people supporting the people of palestine is being conducted because the corporations you trust to police so called "reprehensible" behavior just happen to support the israeli government. So i guess you need to support israel's apartheid and genocide or else. Oops. So much for it only being reprehensible behavior that's getting nailed.

This has been predicted by literally every proponent of free speech since the concept was. No amount of nonsense "free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" (it does, by definition) anti-free speech people (fascists for this comment's purposes) will ever change the reality here.
Note that I didn't say it's not a "real" problem - perhaps it saves a few hours / week and increases "efficiency".

The point was that it doesn't solve any of the _hard_ problems of making good videos / getting a big audience.
I totally forgot the time Nelson Mandela burned children alive, kidnapped kids and the elderly and just brutally murdered unarmed civilians...

Far be it from me to defend everything that Israel does. But even during the current bombings Israel tracks cellphone signals to try and bomb areas with minimal civilian presence. There's a huge difference between collateral damage and explicitly targeting civilians.

Israel tried to let more Gazans into its borders to work and reduce the burden on the people living there (not enough but it was improving) the Hamas chose murder with complete disregard to the lives of the Palestinian people in Gaza. They are WAY worse than anything the French resistance did, and they were fighting damn nazis.
PMI IS a waste of money, but it's relatively negligible. if it helps you get your house years earlier, that could easily be worth it, not only financially but also happiness (if owning is emotionally important).

i paid 5% down on my house and my PMI is only 4% of my all in monthly payment (mortgage, PMI, prop tax, insurance). if i had to wait until i had saved 20% i'd probably still be saving & renting. instead i've already paid down another 5% of my mortgage plus getting the interest tax breaks each year.
Not necessarily. The returns from your all-cash purchase would be greater had you invested in treasuries. Rental yields and the 10 year recently flipped (after over a decade of rental income returns beating treasuries).
"Questioning," is an odd way to spell, "making assertions with zero supporting evidence as an excuse to refuse to wear a 1-ply cotton cloth in public." I never saw anyone question the efficacy of the vaccine. I saw plenty of people saying it is deadly and/or will grow spikes on one's testicles or ovaries.

It's hard to have nuance with people who are participating dishonestly from the outset.
I have not heard of the Fed being able to “literally just print” money. As far as I know, that is solely done by the US Treasury and Mint.

Also, why does money in an account have to be debt? For a physical bank dealing with lots of staff and physical cash, they have expenses they need to recoup. But with instant communications and electronic database, why can the government simply not operate a database where the money (a number that someone had the legal power to spend) simple exists?
This is basically a work-life balance question. Over do-it in either category and the synergy is off. A long career in software engineering is by definition more marathon than sprint. Having said that, … we all experience times of chaos and crunch-time / death-march stuff. It’s up to you to decide if the balance is off. Once in a while is ok, but is it the norm?
> At home, they say the sky is red, everyone says "Yes" or gets a visit from the secret police.

That is the old(er) (outdated?) view of propaganda. The/A new view is to generally not necessarily care about about any particular message:

> We characterize the contemporary Russian model for propaganda as “the firehose of falsehood” because of two of its distinctive features: high numbers of channels and messages and a shameless willingness to disseminate partial truths or outright fictions. In the words of one observer, “[N]ew Russian propaganda entertains, confuses and overwhelms the audience.”

Ask HN: Experiences with low-code Open Source Dev tools?
In the past year or so there's been a lot of new "Open Source" low-code dev tools (similar to Retool) projects. So many that it makes it a bit difficult to commit to one.

There is a good page to track general adoption using Github Stars as a proxy: https://ossinsight.io/collections/low-code-development-tool/

But I am interested in reading experiences of real people using these alternatives. In particularly:

- What were the technical "gotchas" of the platform?

- Really Open Source vs Open Core? And in particular Licensing (AGPL or other risky licenses)

- How easy was the ramp-up?

- How "mature" did they feel? ready for production?

- Any "killer feature" ?

- If the project is Open Core, how does the flow to the paid option looked like to you? is it a smooth curve, or is it a very deep pricing step.

I am glad to hear that it rains and is green in that corner of the desert, my friend. That is a beautiful image indeed. I am really excited about the possibility of reforesting in deserts, although deserts are beautiful habitats in themselves so we should definitely keep deserts around too.

I think people just feel defeated as individuals because they read only doomer content on climate change and as a result they feel overwhelmed unless some larger entity takes on the fight on their behalf. They've come to underestimate the impact individuals can have in effecting great change. I'm optimistic that little by little things can improve and that people can enjoy having a fun time contributing to the fight in positive ways as individuals.

> Not sure why they decided to sneak in some dehumanization into what masquerades as a positive sentiment.

Yeah, no. That's meant as an appeal to humanity beyond tribal solidarity. Reading dehumanization into it is a bit much.
Also a parent; my kids feel much the same. They feel safe and comforted by us; and I think much of it has to do with the way many parents choose to approach parenting. At least for myself and my partner, it's not the discipline-first approach we were raised with, it's far more of a _socratic_ dialogue with our kids. We openly explore why things are being done the way they are, why there are certain expectations.

It's as much about understanding as it is about helping them feel like they have some measure of influence, control, and responsibility over themselves.

And then I see the kids of parents who take a more traditional approach, and those are the kids that are dodging their parents' oversight, and acting out at school, and generally trying to find a way to assert or discover some feeling of control and responsibility in their life.
I don't think that's even remotely true.

Think about "liberté, égalité, fraternité".

Every political party in every country invokes civic rights in their discourse because it makes for a great rhetoric.

In more autocratic countries human rights might be a much bigger part of political discourse because there are more violations.
I recently just made the opposite switch, from Scrypted to Homebridge. Just less maintenance with Homebridge.

As long as you have enough memory (Raspberry Pi 4+) it's a great experince.
A few things:

1. It's actually pretty easy to get a pretty site these days. The SaaS layout is so standardized you can just buy a template to get your React site up and running and looking professional for a couple hundred dollars and a few hours of work. The site overall definitely took more time than that.

2. This is a library for front-end developers. It's made by front-end developers who probably have some design skills of their own. That makes it easier for them than Linux's kernel hacker team to set up a nice website.

3. Is this just a matter of insecurity on your part? I'm sure you have plenty of dev skills but maybe they don't extend to UI and you don't like that this team can throw together a beautiful site for something that's merely a side-project?
So when I use, say, ffmpeg: In what sense am I their product?

They don’t collect telemetry, they don’t serve me ads, the output can be used with any other tool so there’s no lock in, there’s no FFmpeg Pro (TM) with features withheld from the base version.

This seems a little silly I know, but GP was talking about open source projects and you literally said “I can’t find any exception”.
Enlighten us how exactly are we products of Linux, Python, PostgreSQL and myriad of other open source which I am pretty sure you are using as well.
That's good to know. I have been getting along fine by driving older cars, but obviously that won't last forever. I have always assumed that whenever the day comes that anything which still runs was built to phone home, I'd have to learn how to take the dash apart and remove the SIM or the antenna; but perhaps the endless grind of technological obsolescence will do the job for me. Wouldn't that be ironically nice?
What treasury is returning 10+%?
I've looked at a number of implementations of the board game Hive, which uses a technically unbounded hexagonal layout. Most of them have read your article and really like the 3-axis cube system, usually with hash table representation. As the core of a minimax engine, this is very inefficient, so my engine uses a [wrapping 16x16 rhombus](https://github.com/edre/nokamute/blob/master/src/hex_grid.rs) in a packed 256-entry array. The adjacency operations are very fast, but I have yet to come up with a way to efficiently compute distance...
As someone who has trouble seeing green, often I would call them blue. I don't expect my experience is normal.
If Everyone Gets an A, No One Gets an A
Agreed. My argument is that software from market/customer perspective is more like a movie, which is supposed to delight them. And industry rightly priorities the capability/delight factor over mere efficiency for efficiency's sake. Only engineers are interested in efficiency for efficiency's sake (also - will the engineers pay for more efficient software? Nope. Why did engineers abandon Sublime for vscode? So when anyone wears a customer hat, they tend to prioritize factors other than efficiency/correctness more unless we are talking about life-saving medical saving devices or such).
It seems you are confused, of course thick glass is used less frequently than double pane glass, but that doesn't mean we call the latter by the former in North America.

Recall that the topic was your suggestion that "It's not feasible to make glass doors on coolers much thicker", which given this new information, doesn't seem true. Indeed, these screens are a second layer of glass stuck on the existing glass cooler door, with electronics in between. That's heavier than the same thing with air in between.
Indeed, the math of buy vs rent does not take into account fixing your housing payment for 30 years and the fact that you can't be evicted unless you stop paying your mortgage. What financial arb you get with renting, you trade for no control over your housing situation.
> or think that "fake it til you make it" is a real thing.

Fake it to you make it is actually a real thing. Though you actually have to be able to make it. You can overstate qualifications and experience but not competence. I don't lie about anything but i've definitely known people who have lied in order to get hired who have gone on to perform extremely well.
