Both Git and Mercurial works on graphs and use very similar structures, however how Mercurial uses this is mentally overloading, while it's very trivial for a computer to handle these.

Mercurial labels everything on the graph. Multiple heads. many branches, a working copy, a tip. Manual merges, mandatory merge revisions, oh my...

Very neat for enabling collaboration, very easy for a computer to handle, very simple to implement, but very hard to process for a human. Also very hard to follow provenance.

How we came here? X merges, Y branches, Z commits, a curvy journey through the graph. An unbounded art which needs time to grasp.

Git is simpler. Divergences are branches. You add commits at the top of that branch. The place you're looking is the head. Simple, more stupid, a more clunky approach which enables many more things.

How we did come here? Branched at X, added n commits, Y merged along the way, m more commits and ta da. Who added these commits and when? A on Monday, B on the weekend. D merged their work on next Tuesday, and I did mine on today at 10.

Want to chop of specific parts off? Possible. Fork from a branch? Possible. These are things mentally easier to visualize. Mercurial can do these too, but it's more work, more mental effort and more complex to visualize.

Mercurial might be a better DVCS for nerds, but Git keeps is simple as possible and gets the job done well. This is why many people prefer it, incl. me.

Fossil is also a good idea with very high mental load. An idea which is searching for a problem, but I digress...

I find the show war/advances in shoe technology quite interesting! As a distance running enthusiast, I have to say, the shoes I wear really make a difference to both my endurance as well as my pace (but shoes are not the most important aspect - healthy eating I would say is the most important aspect). I also seem to have brand loyalty to Adidas, but not because of their brand, but rather every time I go shopping for new runners, it’s Adidas shoes that just feel right, with their sock like uppers that accommodate my wide feet perfectly, while also having incredibly light and flexible soles, with a lot of cushioning (because I’m not the lightest runner- so absorbing impact is important for my ankles).
However, I’m not an elite athlete by any stretch of the imagination and I could not justify spending $500 on a pair of shoes for a single marathon. I usually expect a pair of running shoes to last me at least 6 months, but ideally a year. I had a pair of Nikes for a year and while I would say they felt more supportive in my arch and for my ankles, they just always felt too stiff, and narrow so for about a year I struggled to pick up my pace.

What kind of data you usually manually encrypt? Except tokens and api keys I have never went further. Encrypting anything else would make the app much less efficient imo
Encrypting the data reduces the attacker’s options, and allows you to focus your resources on hardening the application against attack, safe in the knowledge that an attacker who gets into the database directly isn’t going to get anything valuable.

And what’s more likely, you get access to my public facing crappy node or Rails app or the Postgres server on a private local network?
You can make up by learning more parameters, albeit each parameter is of a lower resolution. The tradeoff evidently works favorably till upto 4-bits; I'm basing this off the results reported on the k-bit inference scaling laws paper by Tim Dettmers and Luke Zettlemoyer, see Figure 1 here [1].

That approach is not a dogma, but means to reach a specific goal, and works only in trusting environment, it doesn't work in adversarial environment. Everyone already acts in self interest, not sure where you got that myth, that works only in small communities of 100 people where everybody know each other for a long time.
Walks occupy enough of my mind to let it only have one or two conversations going on inside it at a time. It also stops me from doing lots of other things, and removes the feeling of "oh but you should also..." because I can't, I'm not at the computer. Those combined means that while getting some gentle exercise I can properly think through some things.

When I was in Hanoi in 2010, in the central districts as unrural as you can get in Vietnam, skinned dog carcasses were hanging at a number of markets. If westernization has had an impact, it must be more recent than that. I’m curious to go back and see for myself.
Your point is false. Rooftop PV saves (if your roof is suitable) significant amounts on a domestic energy bill even in the UK. I know this from having lived in two houses in the UK that had them, and the calculations that went into deciding to install the first of those, and that panels/inverters etc. have become much cheaper since then. Also, last time I was living in the UK, the grid cost looked like it was billed as a separate line item to the per-unit (kWh) cost, so this really is about the domestic price itself and not just funky billing hiding the cost of the grid like you wrote in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38158442

The grid scale alternatives — solar farms, wind farms, hydroelectric — can be better or worse in different ways and different times of year, but normal people can't put full size ones on their own property and such wind and hydro scale non-linearly anyway so small ones aren't as cost effective[0].

Furthermore, the reason for the link under which this is being discussed, is that the UK has land area constraints. Suitable areas in the UK for grid scale PV are basically all farms and/or designed National Parks or AONBs and/or designated green belt, and the exceptions (like disused military bases and airfields) have people clamouring over them to build new towns. Sometimes people can get grid scale PV past planning permission, but it's hard work and upsets people with power who want the countryside to look like farmland. Rooftop PV circumvents that.

[0] Except possibly geothermal/ground source heat pump. Those still provide cost effective benefit when you can do them, but the wide price range means I'm not sure which is better.
There is clearly a demand for personality too.

I was reading some chatGPT programming workflow Twitter thread the other day and the guy was unusually polite with the thing. Like, does saying "please" or "thank you" actually improve its performance or is it just tech roleplay?
Sorry, I searched the whole Internet restlessly. And, there seems not be be any of the information you asked for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC AmigaOS is the whole operating system, while AmigaDOS is the part of that OS that handles disk I/O, plus the CLI, etc. Yeah, a naming mess.
Absolutely true.

I do believe most engineers experience this maturing when they get access to leverage in the workplace, such as going from being an individual contributor to a leader or mentor.

Try sales for a while, and you will realise that no customer has a neatly defined problem for you to solve. They have real complex problems, which you may be able to shoehorn your general solution into. But even then, there is always an alternative solution for the customer which may be simpler or cheaper, such as just hiring an intern to do the job your software can do.

That's the idea! But if you specialize for neural networks, you can then train the network to do whatever you want. This is what makes analog computers practical.
Wouldn't maximum payment come from selling everything they have? At least for the debt holders who own unpaid contracts. Sell the furniture and the brand. Distribute the money. Everyone gets their fair share.
> There might be a sense in which bubbles are getting more ridiculous over time (e.g., NFT) but it would be hard to prove it in any objective sense.

IMHO, the key driver to NFT were a bunch of early crypto whales who wanted/needed to cash out. Just dumping their coins on the open market would tank the valuation, but create a demand frenzy by contracting some high-profile influencers and now you can dump as many coins as you want and people will still buy them.

Now, a lot of people are holding very very deep bags.
More economic title: "Holy wars are coordination problems".

As an uncanny cosmic coincidence would have it, today is an anniversary of the Third Council of Constantinople, counted as the Sixth Ecumenical Council [1] by the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches, as well as by certain other Western Churches. The Council met in 680-681 AD and condemned, wait for it: monoenergism and monothelitism as heretical.

Coordination problems are not even "problems". They are the stuff of Homo Sapiens social life. The underlying reality, to the extent it exists at all, is but an excuse to engage in enthusiastic formation of competing clans.

If people can engage in passionate discussion (all the way to actual destructive war) over "monoenergism" they can also do so about Python 2 versus 3 or any other harebrained perpetual holy war in tech.

>In another story, an African-American mother tried to get her seven-year-old into a class at school. The principal said no: “That’s not the black class.” This was not a scene from the Jim Crow South of the 1950s, but from present-day America, where a growing number of “progressive” schools group children by race and teach them to think of themselves as “racial beings”, all in the name of “antiracism”.

This paragraph neatly illustrates the lack of historical context that often accompanies discussion of "cancel culture". On the one hand, we have an individual example of someone doing something stupid and arguably racist (possibly on the basis of some half-understood anti-racist philsophizing). But what should be our comparison point? The very paragraph I'm quoting mentions the Jim Crow South and yet fails to grasp the broader implications of this comparison. Wind the clock back a few decades and you could illustrate intentional racism in US schools just by gesturing to large swathes of the country. Now you have to grep /stooo*pid/ over a population of 330 million to find a good anecdote.

There's also some seriously sloppy journalism in this article. For example, how can they possibly have reliable enough stats on the number of "progressive schools" that "group children by race and teach them to think of themselves as 'racial beings'" to assert that this number is "growing"?
> Oil exists in the ground. I don't see an issue with pumping it up, using it for a bit, and putting it back into the ground via a landfill.

- The form it is put "back into the ground" isn't the same form it was "pumped up".

- The landfill isn't the same location where we put it compared to where we sourced it (much deeper).

I'm not an ecologist, but both these differences have complex consequences for earth and us.

Have you had a look at AsiaRF[1]? If you are building an access point you are probably looking for more specific cards. You do miss out on things like hardware offloading if you go down that route afaik though but it may not matter due to the extra processing power you tend to get.

I don't know much about it but things like DBDC/MIMO are probably wanted. Other people may be able to comment more about this though.

I just went down the route of using a Banana Pi R3 with OpenWRT in the end though[2]. The R4 does exist now with Wifi 7 though[3].

If you assume solar panels don't exist perhaps.
They already do? If you see a dog that has their ear marked, it means the dog has been sterilized by the municipality. If you want to help, you can take ant stray dog to a vet and they will sterilize the dog for free.

The real problem is the “people” who attack the dogs for no reason and teach them to be violent. Dogs are very social animals and they learn to respond to the society they are in. Where I live the biggest problem we have with stray dogs is we feel sorry for some of them being obese.
Show HN: WordPress Hosting and Dev Environment
There are many WordPress hosting providers out there, but very few that truly provide a complete testing, build and production environment.

I don't want to be the typical cpanel reseller, no, I've been working on Cloupsy to integrate tools that all these years I've wanted to see in one place.

Some of the things we have now and are working on are:
- Sandbox Sites
- Temporary Sites
- PHP Versions
- SFTP/SSH
- Backups
- Cloudflare Enterprise CDN
- Git Integration
- WP-CLI commands
- File and Db editor

I would like to know what other functionality you think is necessary in your WordPress site development process that you would like to see in a cloud/hosting provider.
I think they really wanted "parachute", which has been used in a non-threatening metaphorical way for a long time. You can be "parachuted into a meeting" or "parachuted into a project" for example.
Aligned with the humble way. Have you tried the user research angle like "hey I'm building XXX, thought it might be useful for you because YYY. Would you be open to try it and give us your feedback"? I've been doing this for a dev tool for data analysts and works pretty well. Anyway keep trying and good luck, been there and it's not easy.
> healthcare providers needed them first.

It's super confusing due to all the lying, but actually that's the revisionist history. The real timeline goes like this:

1. Scientists are asked if masks will work to stop COVID. They say no because there's little to no evidence in the literature that surgical/cloth masks can stop the spread of a respiratory virus. This initial position is correct.

2. There is a very short lived campaign by professional activist types called #MasksForAll which pressures public health officials to recommend masks for everyone.

3. Scientific advisors discuss in private and say things like "it probably won't help but can't really hurt so why not" and agree to support it.

4. Message changes.

5. People demand explanations for why the message changed. Mostly officials stay silent and refuse to answer. Fauci specifically (not so much elsewhere) claims that this was a vast conspiracy (!) to manage supply chain capacity. But this isn't correct and private correspondence uncovered afterwards reveals this, for example, Fauci is asked in private emails what he thinks about masks and answers the same way as in step (1).

What happened here took a lot of work to uncover, but there's no longer any doubt about the correct sequence of events here. The idea of "masks don't work" being a noble lie, is itself a lie, which is why it's so confusing - Fauci and allies lied about lying.

As an example of just one piece of evidence pointing in this direction, a BBC journalist tweeted:

https://archive.is/20201205224307/https://twitter.com/deb_co...

> We had been told by various sources WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended them due to political lobbying. This point was put to WHO who did not deny

(she later deleted the tweet as orthodoxy inverted and the true reasons for masking were covered up)

But there's also the fact that mask mandates didn't have any effect when introduced, which shows that the initial stance was the correct one. And the posited conspiracy is a stupid one too. Almost all masks were imported and governments can easily seize shipments at the ports to control distribution if they need to. Lying to the public (and by extension, health workers) is by far the most idiotic way to manage supply chains imaginable.

Why did they do this? Public health seems to have big cultural problems with the idea that tradeoffs exist. In both private and public they tend to describe their proposed policies as being cost-free. If you and everyone around you genuinely believes that any health policy is pure upside then why not mandate masks? It can't hurt and might help, therefore, you must do it. But people outside public health culture expect recommendations to be stable and tradeoffs to be justified. So they conclude that they must lie to the public, because they know deep down that expressing their true beliefs and true level of uncertainty would discredit them.
It is also one letter away from puta.

Show HN: Free App Review Monitoring
Hey HN,

we built a free app review monitoring tool for Slack called allstarsbot.

How does it work?
Select an app from the App Store or Play Store and we will notify you about new user reviews for that app. It works with all reviews from any country and with any app, can be from your competitor as well.

Sure, there are many tools out there doing something like this for a long time. But our approach is to offer a solution that is very easy to set up and has a free plan. No fancy reports, dashboards and complicated features.

And yes, you could just use the App Store RSS feed and get reviews that way for free. But you would have to set up one RSS feed per country, which makes it difficult to set up and manage if your app is available worldwide.

allstarsbot is free for up to 5 reviews per month, so perfect for new apps with not that many users yet.

Looking for your honest and brutal feedback. :)
Do you have experience in development?
If everything is new, I think it would be good to approach python and study.
In the course of your studies, you will learn about some keywords and concepts in the field. Based on this, it may be helpful to find the next process in order.
There may be courses organized neatly for the desired purpose. Sometimes turning around can be more helpful.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm using 2.4 GHz and sometimes I lose signal when there is a think wall or a floor between my phone and the access point, especially when the wall is at a small angle and the signal has to pierce many meters of bricks.

Furthermore there is the problem of radio interference. I wired all my Raspberry and equivalent devices. One of them runs tvheadend to stream the TV signal I get from the antenna on the roof. I had freezes in the stream to my phone and tablet and they went away after I connected that RPi3 with an Ethernet cable. I think that the packets of the stream and the ACKs at TCP and possibly at application level (I don't know which protocol it uses, VLC handles it) were interfering and one of the devices had to stop transmitting from time to time.
This is interesting! I’ll take a look, thanks.
Couldn't tell in the pdf, are there entity size restrictions for the applicability of the law? Like, could this make launching a new software business in the EU even harder? Can you be marked as "important" but also be a 5 person company?
IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo has Protonmail. Proton has a mail bridge application which let's you use desktop mail clients.
I think you’re confusing monopoly power with the free market. Apple Pay exists in South Africa for example which has a 16% iOS market share, Mexico at 20% etc and only a fraction of that is going to use Apple Pay.

Apple didn’t force anyone to participate in Apple Pay anymore than Samsung did to get banks to Support Samsung Pay. Mobile payments also started well before Apple got in on them.

Banks got onboard because customers like the convenience, so if customers had a non mobile card and a mobile card many of them would prefer the mobile card. That’s not monopolistic power, that’s the free market at work.

Merchants don’t need to do anything it’s the 3rd parties making payment machines which needed to support Apple/Samsung/Android etc and they are competing in a market where Apple Pay is just another feature they can use to differentiate themselves. So again free market forces.
The desktop client is basically a web app, little different from running it in the browser. As for the app, I have been pretty unimpressed by it; performance is sluggish, and emails are displayed poorly (lots of unreadably small fonts with no options for text resizing). Worst of all, development seems to be either inactive, or so slow as to be undetectable.

I paid for Tutanota and started switching to it from Gmail, but the accumulation of inconveniences is starting to make me consider switching back, in spite of all the Google privacy issues.
Thank you. Usb3 devices supporting AP mode looks interesting.
Interesting to hear about your perspective.

I’ve always been on the other side of the coin, programming has always been a means to and end, not an end itself.
Some explanation or link that supports that claim would be a really good idea in that case...
> The funny thing is that about a decade ago, the app was born on a SQLite per tenant setup, then it moved to schema per tenant on Postgres, now it's finally moving to a single schema with RLS.

To be fair, RLS was not available yet a decade ago :) It appeared in PostgreSQL 9.5 in 2016.
