The problem with this attitude is that you're missing out on reading material that reflects in incisive ways on genuinely contemporary issues in ways that Dostoevsky can't. Obviously books from the past can and do enlighten us about the present, and they don't literally have to talk about CNN to be clarifying about the nature of propaganda, but there are limits to what Plato can tell you about a world with 8 billion people in it.

In a way, your attitude is akin to only reading scientific articles from more than 50 years ago because those have "stood the test of time." In science, you can see how silly this is - not only is that material often just wrong, undeveloped, etc, but relegating yourself to only papers older than 50 years would leave you totally blind to contemporary scientific progress, including whatever seeds are presently germinating that will change the world in the future.

I had to add a random string to a query of each request to avoid caching on the management panel. It happened that because of the cache, one client was able to see the cached data for another client.

My process has been creating a separate Google Account for the device and putting everything on the Google drive account associated with that account. I can then upload books to the cloud. I could probably also set up an upload email address with something like ifttt if that way inclined.

I then download things from Google Drive and open them in the Boox Neo Reader app (the reader that ships with the device) which seems to organize things OK and track which page you were on (though I only tend to be using 2 or 3 textbooks actively at a time)

Maybe there is a better workflow, but that seemed to work at the time when I bought the device and have served my needs. I have never met another Boox owner in my life to compare workflows with and it isn't something I have thought about looking for. Perhaps someone could write an app or SaaS to simplify it...

Exactly the point here. There’s a bunch of brilliant reasons to use SQLite. One good reason is that by the time you outgrow it, you’re probably shifting enough data for it to be a worthwhile use of an engineering team’s time to plan a migration.

If you use an ORM from the beginning, you might not even have to change very much of your application code.

Title is editorialised to be even more sensationalist than the real one:

Which when taken with the article’s content:

> He expects those features to launch by the end of 2024

Just means a date for when a feature will launch, not a “prediction” that the feature will be used by everyone by then.

He already makes enough outrageously imbecilic, misinformed, delusional, and false claims to fill newspapers, it’s not necessary to make up stuff by extrapolating from what was said.

We should come to HN for accuracy, not made up rage bait.
Yeah this kind of statement drives me up the wall. It's even more annoying when they do show some benchmark stats, but don't provide any details on how to run the benchmark yourself.
Walking aimlessly with no phone helps with this too. Long showers as well. Often when I'm in a creative block I go on a 4 hour walk and my brain manages to come up with new ideas.

Yes, TCP has flow control and congestion avoidance.

But it's a one size fits all model designed for unreliable connections of yesteryear. It's a trade off between latency and throughput and not particularly good at either when network conditions get bad.

UDP requires the application protocol to implement a flow control mechanism, but offers an opportunity to emphasize latency or throughput at the expense of the other.

I’ve been a Wise customer for a decade. I went to make a transfer I’ve made before and was told I need to provide extra documents. These could only be provided using my mobile phone (I was on a laptop.) Their website requires you send a photo of your passport and a selfie, but it needs to be taken by their page. Naturally I got an error message, and contacted Support.

I sent their support both a copy of my passport and a selfie I took a minute before, and asked why my account was flagged for authentication - had something happened? (I’d wondered if there had been unusual login attempts, for example.) You can imagine what happened next - a round of support requests where they didn’t answer why I’d suddenly needed to provide documentation, where they repeated using their site or app for the photos, where they roundly ignored that it didn’t work, where some replies seem just copy-pasted and inapplicable. The latest email I got did finally semi-answer the question: due to “regulations”, a non-answer.

I live in Estonia, where they’re based, and have twice offered to visit their office with my ID so they can authenticate me. I didn’t expect them to say yes but it makes the failure of their online system clear.

The payment I needed to make was to pay a bill in my home country. This took so long the bill was overdue. The company I owed luckily offered me a Web-1.0, antiquated credit card payment service that I didn’t know they had. No idea how insecure it is, but I got the bill paid. That’s more than Wise has achieved!

My takeaway: Wise is absolutely unreliable. Your account can be prevented from making payments at any time for unknown reasons. Their support is unhelpful. It can drag on for weeks. If you have any time-sensitive payment (and most are, right?), you have no guarantees. I can no longer rely on Wise. It’s a shame for what used to be a wonderful startup and service.

I always love reading about.peoples set ups. The overall gist of this is that emacs provides the utilities you need and can run shell commands etc so you don't actually need a terminal if you go that route.

Which I guess is, fine? But, it means if you want a tui tool for something like, interactive with git or files easier. You have to choose from emacs plugins- that feels limiting in a way that isn't needed? Like, sure there are emacs plugins for got, but having a terminal based workflow means you can choose from (or develop) more options.

It depends what. I self host a lot of services for family and friends - but ony the ones I have complete control over.

If there is a problem with something, I want to have a hope of fixing it (either someone already had the issue, or I can open an issue, or I can try try to fix the code/configuration myself). These are great.

Mail not so much. This can become a continuous struggle to get off blacklists, manage spam, troubleshoot deliveries, ... All these are not dependent on me and if I get into a blacklist or if Google stops to accept my mail I am cooked.

The lock screen won't show anything sometimes, and you can't unlock it. It's just a wallpaper. I had to enable face unlock and auto unlock in order to use the phone.

You can answer this yourself if you think through it from a business perspective.

What problem does react solve? It’s an architecture in a box and it helps developers put text into n screen.

Why react? Training developers costs time and money when developers are already a cost center. Worse, not all people claiming to do this work are capable of being trained. So, react becomes a means for employers to select ideal candidates.

What value does react provide? Candidate selection and a shared architecture.

What is lost by not using react? Developers cannot write original applications and struggle to put text on screen.

Can web components do that faster or cheaper than react without training overhead? If so then web components will dominate.

I really don’t understand this sentiment, it is extremely easy to build and deploy Next.js yourself??

- Or, run a Node.js server

Majority of ppl are inresponsible and short-signed. So ppl who run this brothel have only two options on the table:

- try to save them from their own stupidity

- let the society collapse

We would ofcourse survive the collapse of society but majority of rich and poor ppl would die.

Rich and powerful want to keep the starus quo of power.

So we stay in this limbo of ppl becoming dumber and powerful bailing them out to not lose power.

Here’s a great bit from Louis CK on this https://youtu.be/uuCoyILqut8
I would largely agree with this viewpoint having grown up in the US in a medium sized city. Everything was a few miles away, public transit was present but not reliable (missing a bus meant waiting 40+ minutes for the next one), no bike lanes or paths except for one outside of the city, etc. as a child bikes were our only option to meet friends but this meant biking in traffic or on sidewalks, neither pleasant or convenient.

While i survived fine, it was in spite of the childhood, not because of it. I still don’t want to bike in a city unless they have well defined and protected bike lanes; too many close calls, not so close calls that ended up in disaster, bike theft, etc.

After moving to Europe and seeing how mobile kids are without cars even, i wish i had that growing up, as just seems so much nicer to be able to meet friends and do things without needing a car or having to survive biking in traffic.

I’m glad i had internet very early to make hanging out with friends easier and keeping up with what’s going on way easier. instead of having to do a bunch of phone calls or go visit and make plans, we could just do IRC or AIM or Skype chats and it’s much like it is nowadays for planning and joining/declining meetups. I do wonder what my teens years would have looked like if we had the same public transport options as most EU cities do.

I kinda agree with Intel. While Apple's M1/M2(..3-4) are arguably very usable (also) as desktop chips, Apple has poured in so much resources to make this happen, that only a very few company is able to do. (They worked on it for about a decade...) Of course ARM could be more competitive on the laptop market, if either ARM, or another company with bottomless wallet would want it to happen. But there is no visible will, and as long as this doesn't change, Intel doesn't have a lot to worry on this front.

And of course, there is Qualcomm... the Oracle of hardware companies...
I think this is for people who want to run their own cloudflare workers (sort of) and since nobody wants to run full node for that, they want a small runtime that just executes js/wasm in an isolated way. But I wonder why they don't tell me how I can be sure that this is safe or how it's safe. Surely I can't just trust them and it explicitly mentions that it still has file IO so clearly there is still work I need to do customize the isolation further. The reason why they dont show more info about this is probably because they don't really want you to use this to run it on your own, they are selling you on running things on their edge platform called "Wasmer Edge".

So that's probably why this is so light on information.. the motivation isn't to get you to use this yourself, just to use this via their hosted edge platform. But then I wonder why I wouldn't just use https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd which is also open source. Surely that is fast enough? If not then it should show some benchmarks?
I suppose the performance claim is here:

Unconditional surrender isn’t a goal, its absolute acquiescence to some goal. So what's the actual goal? Demanding unconditional surrender generally means either annexation or occupation, setting up a replacement government, and leaving either once it stabilizes or when you don’t care about what happens in the territory, anything less, and unconditional surrender was an unnecessary and likely costly demand to get there.

A legacy of systemic sexism from the time when those tenured professors were in school.

School is a poor fit for boys' nature (to the point that boys' nature is defined as a disease to be medicated). Perhaps it's time to consider that the system is poorly designed, and expecting children to sit still for hours at a time is unwise.

From whom? I asked someone who commented this on HN and the person replied saying that they had refused to help him debug his 3 display project. So yes, any display company is notoriously hard to work with if you're not buying a reasonable quantity of their product. It is like saying Samsung Displays is notoriously hard to work with as they're not helping my startup debug our problems where we've bought a grand total of 3 displays this year.

> The evidence for the sun inducing skin cancer is not strong.

Say what!? The main cause of skin cancer is UV radiation from sunlight.

Go spend a day outside unprotected from the sun in the Australian summer and tell me otherwise. If you have a light skin pigmentation you’ll be in physical pain and cold shivers from the damage to your skin. Keep damaging your skin cells enough times and you have a recipe for skin cancer.

Australia and NZ have sky high rates of skin cancer (like significantly higher than any other countries in the world) because they have a large population of people with little natural protection living close to the equator where UV radiation is high.
