> The first one is that the minimum volume on my Bluetooth earbuds is too damn loud on iOS. This is true for every third party set of headphones I have tried.

That's wild. I've never experienced anything like that -- not with AirPods or Bose or a cheap brand TOZO.

Are you sure it's not a problem with the earbuds themselves, that their minimum level is higher than it should be?

If you've dug into it, what is the range/steps of Bluetooth volume levels, and which are the range/steps that iOS supports?

Also, have you ever tried dragging the volume slider in iOS? That lets you set volume smoothly, not restricted to increments. Does that not let you set the smallest volume?
What is a "stupid lightbulb" in this case? is that some kind of "ham operator" parlance, or are you only referring to using Morse code and a flashlight/light source?
It was (niche). And to add insult to injury, there was a jump box.

Like I said, I don't like the approach, it's way too "thin client" for me, but it seems to be part and parcel of our "towers of abstraction" approach to software development. I guess the next logical step is to abstract away the physical location of the code.
After the US assassinated Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the cleric Shahab Moradi was doing an interview and said:

"In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest- that we take one of theirs now that they've got one of ours, who should we consider to take out in the context of America?

"Think about it, are we supposed to take out Spiderman and SpongeBob? They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large land mass, but it doesn't have any heroes, all of their heroes are cartoon characters, they're all fictional."

It’s one of those quotes that stuck with me, and I’m reminded of it when I see news articles with lines like “CEOs have a distinctive role in society as trusted voices”
> We don't have a usable national charging network.

I feel like there's a big lever the federal government has its hands on that would solve this in record time:

Add a substantial gas station tax which is only applied to gas stations with fewer than two level 3 chargers, and watch how fast the national charging network happens.

It doesn't even need to cost the gas station anything. A vendor can foot the bill for installing the chargers and split the profits with the gas station. It would be a boon for gas stations, since EV charging customers are far more likely to generate foot traffic in their stores (where they make the majority of their money) than gas customers who just gas and go.
Using traditional (and IMHO more correct) definitions of conservative and progressive, you are of course correct. However, at least in the US those terms have pretty different meanings to most people IRL. For example, the "conservative" position on Roe v. Wade was to change the status quo, and the "progressive" position was largely to stick with the status quo. Conservatives largely want to change the status quo on funding the Ukraine war, while progresses don't. I'm sure there are other examples, but anyway if you limited yourself to the traditional definitions, you'd be utterly perplexed by such a thing.
I’m not sure they’re considering inflation as well.

A safe withdrawal rate would be like annual rate of return - annual inflation - 1% safety buffer.

So 4% - 2% (target inflation rate) - 1% (buffer) = 1%.

If you don’t include the 1% buffer here you have no margin of safety for a market downturn.
The salaries are extremely low and construction in Lisbon or around is not cheap. The prices would simply be too high for new constructions, average Portuguese cannot afford them.

That's already allowed, and commonly done.

> When we decided to rename part of the IPython project to Jupyter in 2014, we had many good reasons. Our goal was to make (Data)Science and Education better, by providing Free and Open-Source tools that can be used by everyone. The name “Jupyter” is a strong reference to Galileo, who detailed his discovery of the Moons of Jupiter in his astronomical notebooks. The name is also a play on the languages Julia, Python, and R, which are pillars of the modern scientific world. While we (Love Python), and use it for much of the architecture in Jupyter, we believe that all open-source languages have an important role in scientific and data analysis workflows. We have strived to make Jupyter a platform that treats all open-source languages as first-class citizens.
Sorry, I can't delete it.
Yes, making a mill for supposedly trusted third parties, over having an actual trusted third party, is a more open way.

Edit: I suppose in all except the free self hosted one, OpenSign would be the trusted third party, which I guess is more plausible. Unless the paid customers are given something close to root to administrate them. Still, a trusted third party is generally based on recognition. Even if I really dislike a company I eventually acknowledge they're trusted if it lasts long enough, like with ID.me. I didn't use ID.me until it was required for logging into the IRS and now I grudgingly admit that I think it's an extra security check on logging in. So until you're big like DocuSign I wouldn't view you in quite the same way as a trusted third party.

That does bring a question, are your paid customers prevented from going under the hood in such a way that they would also have to be trusted at such a level along with OpenSign?

--

This to say I'm open to using OpenSign, because there are plenty of uses where I would be open to using something that doesn't have this "trusted third party at the level of DocuSign" feature. The "digital notary public" analogy is apt. I sometimes sign documents with a notary, and other times without.

I think most people use latex for two reasons: 1. Declarative documents. No need to manually reference figures, pages, equations, sections etc. Things are just laid out nicely by default with proper spaces between paragraphes, figures, tables etc. However, the above features you can basically achieve using markdown. 2. The "sciency" default style of the document.

You don't think it's implausible? Reading this line didn't set off any red flags?

"And that the structure of space and everything in it is just defined by the network of relations between these elements—that we might call atoms of space. It’s very elegant—but deeply abstract."

How about this one, shortly after describing "in the history of science there's four models":

"But now there’s something even more: in our Physics Project things become multicomputational, with many threads of time, that can only be knitted together by an observer." Wow, one of the four models in the history of science is the thing you just came up with?

Or this one: "But how is that rule picked? Well, actually, it isn’t. Because all possible rules are used. And we’re building up what I call the ruliad: the deeply abstract but unique object that is the entangled limit of all possible computational processes."

Dude overfitted basic physics with a model and thinks he discovered a theory of everything.

"OK, so the ruliad is everything." Pythagoras move over, there's a new mathematician's Monad in town.

"And there are two crucial facts about us. First, we’re computationally bounded—our minds are limited. And second, we believe we’re persistent in time—even though we’re made of different atoms of space at every moment.

So then here’s the big result. What observers with those characteristics perceive in the ruliad necessarily follows certain laws. And those laws turn out to be precisely the three key theories of 20th-century physics: general relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics and the Second Law."

How convenient.

"We can think of this as a place in the ruliad described using the concept of a cat in a party hat:" Wait, what now?

"Maybe we need a promptocracy where people write prompts instead of just voting." This is still on the rails for you?

"Before our Physics Project we didn’t know if our universe really was computational. But now it’s pretty clear that it is. And from that we’re inexorably led to the ruliad—with all its vastness, so hugely greater than all the physical space in our universe." Oh great, it's pretty clear.

I can't imagine that he hasn't convinced respected physicists of his claims.

Did he show them the video of the cat in the party hat becoming a "cat island" and then turning into abstract concept spaces mirroring the development of actual spacetime from the big bang? He should definitely lead with that next time.

Yeah, I also found the justifications for Apple requiring passes to be signed pretty vague. Locking things down is just the default for Apple; it's usually only in later iterations that they open up integrations to the broader ecosystem.

On the face of it, it's really weird to require passes to be signed: I can always just store a PNG or PDF showing the same bar code in my photo library or files app and present that. Imagine iOS only displaying signed PDFs!

Well until recently with the wide-spread adoption of NACS I am not surprised gas stations didn't make the leap.

OK well good that you've done your research then.
In reality you can't, but most people seem to think you can. It can be enraging trying to debate things even on HN because people often ignore the actual content of what you're saying and try to figure out what you secretly think or meant. My guess is the way people "accomplish" this with AI is by training it to make major assumptions based on other things. It will have an abysmal error rate (just like it does now) but the vast majority of people won't ever notice, and the person speaking will never even know they were censored, let alone have a chance at clarification or God forbid, explaining the nuance.
Not every attempt is successful, but the overall goal of a tool is still to reduce work.

The core reason is (imo) that it's simply not possible to provide a Django admin equivalent in other frameworks because they lack the functionality to do so.

The basic dependencies for the Django admin are:

- authentication

- user permissions

- forms

- the ORM, to generate forms from model definitions and forward the admin's CRUD operations to the database

No other framework comes with all of these dependencies builtin. Yes, there are individual plugins to retrofit them, but then you would start building your extremely complex admin plugin on top of a lot of unaligned dependencies. Just one of them needs to go into a direction that doesn't align with your needs and your project is done. That's not a good base to start from.
Django doesn't have this problem because the entire framework is built under one roof.

This place is if anything overly tolerant of Naughty Old Mr Car’s nonsense; HN public opinion on immensely-hyped things which turn out to be a bit shit has an extremely wide turning circle. Witness Bitcoin; HN is now generally sceptical, but it was _late_.

Good plugin hybrids are a very viable option. At some point I’ll need a three row vehicle and most of our needs would be handled by something like the Mazda CX9. The next best option with three rows and electrification is the Rivian. The Rivian is a different type of vehicle than what I really need, even though it’s cool. What I want is an electrified station wagon, but the latter doesn’t really exist anymore. The CX9’s 26 miles of battery power is enough to handle the majority of our standard in town trips without burning fuel.
I've been happily paying for kagi for over a year now.

Fair enough. She is looking at a relatively minimalist FIRE. Whereas, if the CFO of Microsoft were to retire tomorrow (she's relatively young at 52), she'd be very comfortable doing almost anything she wanted to do.

(I was mostly referring to her thought process about retiring early. But obviously the financial position of the two people is much different.)
The torque required for an electric vehicle to climb a slope quickly drains the battery (if the electric motor can climb it, and if the refrigeration can manage the temperature rise along the climbing time [hill, road, etc; constant torque]).

Combustion engines have a high torque, and these variables should be included in the equation. IMHO, it should be mandatory to include in the electric vehicle specification the range with a 14-20% of slope/gradient[1], including the speed.

[1] although it does exist some ways with 30% of slope, some wicked garages included.

I dunno, the blogging community of Erlangers seems to have a different opinion of hot-loading and mnesia scalability than I developed working at WhatsApp.

Specifically, hot loading allows for tremendous agility in rolling out code: for better and worse. There's sharp edges, but it's worth it IMHO (of course, it should be noted that AFAIK, hot loading is either unused or very rarely used at WhatsApp now. I believe they now use fairly conventional rollouts where new instances are started with the new code, load balancers shift the load and old instances are shut down eventually... back in my day, we didn't have load balancers or easy access to spare machines to rotate through, etc)

Mnesia has lots of sharp edges too, but if you are willing to learn them as you grow, and maybe do a bit of work here and there, disc_copies and ram_copies tables scale pretty good (afaik, we only used disc_only_copies for the schema table, and that's a small table, so it works; I don't think that table type works well with large tables). And having data and application colocated makes a lot of things pretty nice. IMHO, if you are doing the volume of data and accesses we were doing with any other database, you'd need in house engineering on the database as well, so I don't see it as a strong negative that it's needed for mnesia. If you have a smaller need, maybe it works out of the box. IMHO, mnesia works best with stable nodes and stable network though: the original use case was for two nodes in the same chassis, and the farther you stray from that, the more work you may have to do. But we had replication setup between Reston, VA and Dallas, TX and it worked fine as long as the backbone between the two wasn't being extra flakey.

Again, I think post-acquisition, mnesia was phased out, but FB doesn't value stability of nodes or networks.
Haha, well played from an Amateur Extra!

I've always considered amateur radio to be the "national parks" of radio spectrum. Maybe better termed as "international parks," since the vast majority of nations embrace it much as we in the United States do. Ham radio is certainly an important player in average-Joe diplomacy, in which we can still engage in dialog with radio technicians and operators from practically all the countries of the world without the government and mass-media filters we normally have to deal with. Even though much of our discussions are centered on radio topics and family life (politics are usually kept aside), the mere fact that we are talking in a relaxed format with folks from almost anywhere is a joy to experience!

> Did the Al Jazeera English account simply use a translation tool and publish without a native speaker listening/reading? If two professional translators said it couldn’t be interpreted that way, they either used a tool when most readers would believe they understand the language natively, or they intentionally misled. For a news outlet, you’d think owning up to the former would be preferable to readers believing the latter.

But for Al Jazeera English, "we misquoted an Arabic-speaking spokesman because we can't do Arabic-to-English translation in house" is not a plausible statement.
Also Airbnb is already banned in Lisbon, there are no new AL licenses given as far as I know. Or at least there was a plan for that.

The real takeaway. Love it. Hate it. All at the same time.
One think that I think they provide (as opposed to the self hosted version) is just the fact of being a relatively neutral third party.

If there’s a dispute over the veracity of a signature, it’s probably helpful to have a third party say “according to our server logs and software stack, this was signed by johndoe@example.com at 12:41pm on August 3rd, from the IP address XX.XXX.XXX.XX, and they authenticated with their email and password”. If I’m self-hosting, it’s marginally less convincing when I’m before a court if I say *my* software stack says that, since I have more direct control over it.

So, I agree DocuSign doesn’t have a special status, other than being a relatively neutral third party to that dispute. But if a signature’s validity is being questioned, that third party status is probably somewhat helpful.
