Junk silver is selling at my local coin store for 21x nominal value.

This makes leaving a Franklin half dollar all-the-more rewarding [to an observant recipient]. For reference, a Franklin half dollar is 90% silver. It is also, IMHO, the most-beautifully-surfaced US coin ever produced. It "tings."

It is in my fantasies that I had reason to celebrate a grand-enough "night on the town" as to leave just a single golden buffalo coin as payment [about $2000USD].
Clearly they mixed up cause and effect.

"A gentleman's hands are never dirty" should have meant that he keeps them clean, not that his gentlemanliness somehow keeps them from being dirty.
Mandatory service every year? Not that hard.
It's especially hard because the stdlib changes quite a lot still. Examples go out of date so adding documentation like this is not just one-time work. I am working my way through learning the language and it's not uncommon to find blog posts or news snippets from 4 months ago introducing features, and they already don't compile.
Interesting, what is third? System design?
It would be nice if Samsung found a way to enable blood pressure readings on their smartwatches in the US. It's been more than two years and they still don't have FDA approval. Maybe they can just enable it with some legal disclaimer that it is not FDA approved and should only be used for guidance and not diagnosis? It's strange that they sell the watches with this feature but it is not enabled, leaving themselves open to a false advertising lawsuit. I've read there is a hack to enable it, but it might make future updates difficult.

I’m thinking genetically engineer organisms to transform most of the co2 to a stable solid form.

Maybe floating organisms that can live in the cooler upper atmosphere.

Only catch is we’d need to provide a lot of water. I don’t think the atmosphere has much.
Never thought about it this way, but yeah makes a lot of sense. So the real approach should be: pick the kind of institution you care about first. Skill mastery might just end up being optional.

To be honest, I'm rather surprised how good we have it those days, when good skills and hard work at least have a quite good chance to lead to a decent life
That’s exactly the thing to me, the fastest runners always seem to be feeling the best. I see plenty of people who sign up for ultras and basically struggle through it by willingness to suffer instead of fitness; I see no value in that. I’d rather run a 10k or half really fast and feel amazing than drag myself through an ultra and be miserable, so that’s my training goal.
It takes more than the signing date to assert validity at the time of signing rather than at the time of checking.

This means that these signatures tend to expire when the code signing certificate or the CA itself expires.
Oil changes are what, every 30k km for new cars? Totally possible to not have a single service or oil change in two years.
Does anybody still use Perl 5?
Two recent projects I wrote in C++20 using my own HTTP library. Only dependencies are a JSON library and a HTML template library (only used in one project). For these projects I used my own Postgres C++20 library.

Another recent project I did in mostly pure Java, with only a third-party library for SMTP email sending, and a library for using HTML templates.

IDE is VSCode with clangd as linter, and gcc as compiler, and CMake as build system. For Java, I use the RedHat VSCode plugin.

Frontend in pure TypeScript, with an icon library.

Challenges I encountered:
- Statically checking data structures between frontend and backend. This needs code generation. And there was a lot of code repetition for shared data structures between front- and backend.
- More database abstraction would be good.

Other than that it all runs great.
Until it support websocket, I think it is simply a "NO".

https://github.com/unjs/nitro/issues/678

It's 2023 and there is a web framework that "can't" handle websocket at all. (Not even just proxying and doing nothing else.) Feels like a joke to me. (Yep, this issue hit me hard when I am writing a chat application, waste me 3 days to find out why it didn't work during development but in production)
It could largely be sampling bias.

The people who care about speed talk about going faster, while the people who don't care about speed don't talk about it, rather than talking about not caring about it.

> But would it really be that bad to let people hang on to their phones?

Yes, it would. The last time I had an EGD (same facilities as colonoscopy), there were 5 small rooms on each side of an aisle for patients. Some of the rooms had TVs turned on, some had patients' family members talking loudly, and of course the nurses were running all over the place, with many talking about what they did over the weekend, etc.

Would it be so bad if people learned how to chill out for 2 hours without constant stimulation?
Customisable lockscreen is a really funny selling point, considering 10 years ago you could put any widget on the lockscreen and there was stuff like dashclock
You probably need training data of the “superficially looks like realistic fire but the details are wrong” kind, or otherwise you’ll get the “but the fingers are all weird” equivalent of image generation.
The Great Filter is not likely an astroid or gamma ray burst type phenomena but rather the nature of intelligence that evolves in a competitive environment via evolution. Having two planets full of hyper competitive, violent social apes just means having two planets plagued by petty infighting. And if one planet is insane enough to nuke itself, what's to say it won't nuke the other?
Fundamentally disagree with this. In fact, most of human technology has worked without on-call rotations. From the complicated movements of mechanical watches, to the still-ticking heartbeats of the Voyager probes.

Most software engineers just happen to be bad engineers. On-call rotations are a band-aid for poor planning and development (to be fair, often imposed by tech-delinquent middle managers or executives).
If that's true, doesn't that support OP's point? That behaviors that amplify hierarchy signalling can cause seriously fucked up social dynamics to develop?
How do you have “some” CUDA support? I’m aware of the AMD HIP API that ports CUDA code to run on AMD GPUs, but that’s not CUDA at that point. Im also aware of the geohot (George Hotz) project for bringing native CUDA to AMD GPUs, but I think he abandoned it because AMD wasn’t throwing him any bones.

Cupy on Python is mostly what I use.
Depends on project requirements of course and it's been a little while since I used them in anger, but sounds like Rails and Postgres are still going strong so I'd probably pick those. If something like React was strictly necessary I'd use React plus the most vanilla TypeScript stack, but I'd use only Rails' built-in stuff if at all possible. I don't know exactly about hosting but I'd probably go for something like Render or Heroku.

What's worth noting is that this is driven by the US Fed Gov (spec. Department of Defense) as a way to get vendors onboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoD_IPv6_product_certification.

The govt takes a stance that most vendors can't be trusted on their word so everything to be purchased must undergo a certification process to ensure that it meets the baseline requirements.
If I were a cynical man, I'd say this whole submission reads like an advert for fastify.
On one occasion I had the opportunity to ask Stephen Wolfram personally some questions about the Hypergraph theory. My current understanding of the Ruliad is that it is a graph of all possible graphs connected by all the possible applications of rules on a graph. Because it's infinite and weird, it also contains itself. The main hypothesis of Hypergraph theory is that our apparent physical reality must be a vertex on this graph, if only by virtue of its formal definition.

My question to him was if this kind of reasoning inevitably based itself on the same kind of reasoning used for millennia to reason about God (the dogma of faith/God is good etc.), to which I didn't get a satisfactory answer.
I did the same research a few months ago. There are a lot of really cool alternatives which is fun and exciting, but at the end of the day I went with express. It's super stable, huge community, endless online tutorials and content.

The most tempting alternatives were hono and fastify. Hono felt not mature enough.

At the end of the day your server framework is very rarely the bottleneck in your system's performance, so it matters less.
Synthetic oil doesn't really so.

Edit: long perioda of a car not driven has the effect of not all gearbox and enhine parts being lubricated, that has a negative effect on oil as all that corrusion is ending up in the oil. That so has nothing to do with yearly millage, pulling a car out of storage every 11 months to drive 50,000 miles in one go has the same issues, and a lot more on top.
Most of the time, this is a useful frame.

With that said, there are some types of software that exist to deal with complexity external to itself. External systems (integrations, screen scraping systems, etc.) can break without fault internally, but need to be fixed ASAP.

One might say, "You built it poorly by deciding to build this at all." And sometimes that's true. But I've been in plenty of situations where the options were 1) don't solve the customer problem, don't pass go, don't collect $200. Or, 2) build finicky software that works but needs to be babied... and hire engineers that don't mind doing this type of work.

That last bit is critical. Some engineers like the heroics and drama of it. Some people can't help but run headfirst into the fire... and there's jobs for them there :-)
So maybe hiring him as CEO was a 4D chess move?

I've been paid by people adopting it, an obscure alternative to an obscure command-line tool that nobody uses.

And yet, my bc is in FreeBSD and Mac OSX.

Perhaps the reason I'm confident is because this little thing of mine managed to replace entrenched competitors in a few places. Why can't I do it again?

Ask HN: How do you decide what to read next?
I have a huge list of books I want to read of all kinds of genres. Everytime I finish a book I start to think about what to read next and sometimes I'm stuck, there's too much choice.

I also feel like my list only gets bigger even though I read many books every year.

So how do you guys do it? And do you read more than one book at once?

For anything that is anticipated to grow beyond a very small codebase, the lack of static checkability really becomes a pain with PHP.

I'm surprised that Java and modern C++ are not more popular. I know for large web applications, Java is popular in "enterprise" environments.
Not only is expressjs de-facto, it actually is a community design from before Node.js existed, with earlier implementations (connect, jackjs), including on non-Node.js SSJS-platforms; cf. [1]. Moreover, an expressjs/JSGI middleware can plug-in and directly run off the Node.js core http API, without the additional expressjs routing, etc.

> Doctors routinely washed their hands before Semmelweis

The cringeworthy "gentlemen don't wash their hands" culture contradicts that.

> he ended up in a sanatorium because he went crazy (he likely had an advanced case of syphilis)

I see no evidence of this so called "craziness". Even the people who speculated about the cause included "emotional exhaustion from overwork and stress" as a possibility. That's the simplest explanation, probably what happened and it's absolutely to be expected when you discover you've been unwittingly killing your patients due to the ignorance of mankind, successfully devise countermeasures and prove their effectiveness only to have your peers and the scientific community all band together to gaslight you. He ended up in an asylum because he "embarrassed" them.

> the connection he made was that "cadaveric particles" were causing illness in hospitals

Of course. More women died when he and his medical students delivered their children after working with corpses than when they didn't. The connection is there, the fact it did not fully explain the phenomena does not invalidate it. Nor does it invalidate the reduction in mortality after hand sanitization was implemented.

That this was denied despite reproducible statistical evidence is absolutely shameful for all involved and a heavy lesson for all time. Women died because of it. Don't minimize it.
There's a lot of sensor-integrated parts that are difficult or impossible to repair and very expensive to replace.
A total work of fiction basically, like almost everything else written in the NYT.
It’s not an either/or choice, we should do both, if only because learnings from performing planetary engineering on Mars will benefit similar efforts on Earth, but also because there’s no point in pigeonholing ourselves into a single planet. We’re cavepeople to Earth’s metaphorical cave and it would be wise to venture beyond it to become a true spacefaring civilization.
Most OS software is downloaded from code repositories like github or fosshub to save on networking costs, not to mention CDNs that are often used even when the link is on the software's website the file itself will often not be "coming from" that website.
This is a spectacularly polemic framing that can only serve to score points, not advance civil discussion. In other domains it seems that our society has come to terms with the idea that systemic discrepancies in attainment can't just be dismissed by looking at low-attainment individuals in isolation - would you accept "$minority people could accept that they don't have a right to a job at Google/spot at Harvard/position in government" as a retort against allegations of racial discrimination?
Tell from what? I've always heard it as the exact opposite. From the article:

From men:

> The apps are algorithmic doom barrels

> I’m fated to end up alone

> he has tried Bumble, Match, Badoo and Facebook dating, but in nearly three years has only met one person, with whom he had six dates before the relationship ended

> The vast majority of matches have resulted in no dialogue, most of the rest there was a bit of to and fro before being ghosted

From women:

> I meet so many men,” she says enthusiastically

> So I’ve given myself the challenge of flirting with one person every day, which has been a lot of fun

> I was getting a torrent of likes – and I absolutely hated it

> I’m simply looking for an interesting or creative person, and that’s one thing you can’t spot easily on an app, but then I’d get too many matches, which was really overwhelming

> I’d get a lot of comments about being a wheelchair user

Hell even disabled women seem to have absolutely no issue getting matches. Maybe the buffet of men they get to fastidiously sort through isn't well stocked enough for them? Well la di da, welcome to reality.
Maybe it's still standard, but if you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot, just stay away from it.

Express's API is horrible. It's not integrated with Promises (async/await) at all, so be prepared to wrap every async endpoint (so probably all of them) with a custom error handling wrapper. If you don't (and don't have a big catch-block around the whole implementation), an unhandled error will hang the connection forever without a response.

Also, the API makes it pretty much impossible to write "wrapping" middleware, for example if you want output validation. As soon as an express middleware calls `next`, it's done and there's no way intercepting it before a response is sent.

It also still doesn't support Node's HTTP2, just some (nowadays) weird third-party HTTP2 implementation.

The standard `compression` middleware also seems abandoned, not supporting brotli (so you'll have worse loading times), despite Node.js natively providing the required functions for years.

I'll second `fastifiy` or `koa`.
On our app we were about 60% women to 40% men. Nonbinary made up a small enough % to round to zero. DAU/MAU were roughly the same, though you might see seasonal swings toward one or another.
I don’t think that is necessarily true.

Sure it may be “easier” to give a shit when you’re an artisan charging a premium for your craft.

However you can still give a shit if you’re a designer for IKEA. You can take joy knowing the more you minimize price while maximizing durability you not only bring joy to the majority of people who can’t afford hand crafted tables, but your efficiency can have major waste and ecological ramifications that an artisan shop can’t hope to copy.

What you give a shit might change, but giving a shit absolutely scales.
How do you motivate your employees to give a shit. Even with good salary.
> macOS by default doesn't run unsigned or incorrectly signed apps, period.

It kinda depends on what you mean by “default”, but you can always right click an app in Finder and select “open”. When you get the scary “unsigned app” pop-up there will be an extra option there to run it anyway, allowing you to run unsigned binaries without making any settings changes to the os.

That said, I largely agree with the rest of your comment. I do think, as a developer, their stapling stuff is way more onerous than the plain code signing. It basically puts Apple in the position to reject your app in the same way they reject apps in the store, even though there is no store involved.
Oh, I really did think you had something to contribute. I think you sell yourself short. Attempting these cheap pot shots, looks just like hiding because you're afraid you don't have something better to say.

But I think you do, and I encourage you to find it! :)

So...No, sorry! Your ChatGPT detection skills are not that good. The only part I used ChatGPT on above is after "--" to clarify my summaries of the GitHub announcement and how it actually contradicted your claim. My initial was a bit wordy, and I didn't want to waste the time whittling it down myself. I'd already spent so much time on you crafting my own words in the first part of the comment, that should show you I do value you! :)

I hope you will try harder to make nice contributions in future. You have that ability. But I understand if you haven't discovered it yet! :)

It's long but I wouldn't say too long. Sometimes to make a comprehensive reply, length is your friend! :)

If you can't tell, the smilies are for friendliness. I see no need for your hostility here. Certainly not against me! I didn't do anything against you. So, please, put down your knife, my friend. And we can talk. I believe you have something worthy to say. Maybe not today, but some day! HN will welcome your good contribution. :)

To be fair for me the first 10 root comments almost all recommend Express or Fastly, no obscure pet projects or anything. So there does seem to be a pretty clear consensus.

Years and years ago I saw a TV show about the Boston Marathon.

One of the people they interviewed was the last runner to finish. A physician, I would guess around 45 to 50. It was already dark out! So he was not fast, maybe not much more than a walking pace, but he seemed happy so nothing to complain about.

The original book on Aerobics, the author emphasized you can get all the aerobic exercise you need at an ordinary walking pace if you take enough time. Especially important for older people and the overweight.

The obsession with "20 minutes of vigorous exercise" may well do more harm than good.

Almost all businesses try to move from "pay once" to a subscription model. Printer manufacturers give you the printer and make money on the ink. Video game consoles sell consoles at a loss and make it back on games. Razors make the money from blades. I use YNAB (a budgeting app) and it moved from an EXE you buy once to a web app with a subscription. Microsoft office. Water heaters. Now car manufacturers are trying to charge you subscriptions for optional features that are already installed, like heating seats or self-driving.
And the water is liquid.
The answer has the sign wrong. It would be a source of energy.

https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/climate-change/ene... says “The annual global energy consumption is estimated to 580 million terajoules”, so that’s about 6E20 joules.

So, there’s enough energy there to power the world for 400 million years.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy) has 5×10^20 J, respectively 2.1×10^29 J, agreeing with that)

Now, about extracting it…
That is the literal translation/interpretation, "you ain't shit" = "you are not shit". It could mean that, "i expected you to be shit, but you are unexpectedly good", depending on tone/context.

But the much more common interpretation "you ain't shit" = "you are less than shit" = "you are worthless/nothing". See also "it don't mean shit".
