Are you suggesting we should roll nuclear safety back to 1980s USSR standards? That is a lot more extreme than what I'm comfortable with, and sounds like it is bordering on recklessness. Those were the goons that caused Chernobyl.

I'm saying we should accept some level of accidents, not that we want to purposefully try to cause nuclear meltdowns. It is tolerance, not a target. Nobody is advocating ignoring 50 years of improvements in safety tech and understanding, we just shouldn't be bankrupting nuclear companies in pursuit of impossible goals.

The standard for damage should be similar to coal.

It’s a pretty common thing all over the internet to deliberately butcher the language for humorous effect. The LOLcat (“I can has cheeseburger “) translation of the Bible is hilarious.
Thanks, I might need to correct that statement.
I'm speaking more about language culture, as it's used. My native language, Polish, allows for convenient derivation, but it's not a natural thing to do, and if you try, people will look at you funny. In English, it feels very natural and people will understand you when you do it.
If you don't want to share GCP and AWS both offer ways to rent machines that aren't shared with other users. But for most people the cost isn't worth it because shared machines work well enough and provide much better resource utilization.
Most residential dishwashers seem to have a rinse-aid dispenser that you fill up with usually finish jet-dry.

It seems to have the alcohol ethoxylates mentioned in this paper:

https://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners/2994-FinishJetDryRinseAg...

I expect it is also in the finish dishwasher detergent pods.

digging deeper the wikipedia article on ethoxylation says:

Ethoxylated fatty alcohols are often converted to the corresponding organosulfates, which can be easily deprotonated to give anionic surfactants such as sodium laureth sulfate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethoxylation

I had trouble with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and switched to toothpaste, shampoo and laundry detergents without this.

This chemical has gotten a bad rap and a lot of formulas were changed to use sodium laureth sulfate mentioned above.
(I avoided that too)

I'll bet they are all trouble.
They are getting trained on “a range of topics.”

The most likely outcome of this sort of training is that most of the trained material will be forgotten in a few months as employees settle back into their specialized roles that have nothing to do with most of that range of topics.

Speaking from experience here.
Since we're less than a decade away from the doomsday point, I wonder if it would be easier to transition from signed to unsigned 32 bits, as it would buy everyone multiple decades to transition to something else.

Also, this first transition should be less disruptive than any other one, since the unsigned format is backwards compatible with the current signed one in its current usage (positive numbers).
The war is why coal specifically is being used to make up demand, yes.

I'm not using rinse aid at all. Just dishwasher gel with no rinse aid included, and salt. Cheap-ish Beko dishwasher. No issues.
GCP and AWS both offer non-shared hardware. If people want the extra isolation they just need to pay for it.

The service provider is only liable if an infraction has actually taken place. Checking DMCA claims means determining if that is the case. Service providers do have that leeway.
I've mentioned this in previous posts here, but I write zsh scripts utilising all the extras that zsh gives(alternate form syntax, extensive extended globbing, zsh module support for extra functionality). It sounds stupid but it makes it really obvious that what you're writing isn't a generic shell script, and you can forgo having to think too much about whether something will work in modern bash, or MacOS pre-GPL3 bash, or {b,d,k,z}ash as /bin/sh symlink.

I definitely get the argument about shellcheck though, it would be nice if it supported zsh.
NanoVG is a 2D rendering library built directly on top of OpenGL or GLES.

Modern rich GUI needs much more than a renderer, but amount and development cost of that “much more” varies depending on GUI complexity. The device I developed is rather simple: low resolution screen, touch is the only input, English localization only, that’s how I was able to deliver in reasonable time.

For more complicated GUI I’d look for different technologies. Maybe QT, despite the high price.
What's superstitious about that? Soap isn't made for human consumption, it seems prudent to avoid consumption unless proven safe.

What's your point? Summer - October 2022 only half of the French nuclear power plants were operational, they had to import electricity over long periods of time. However, that's the whole point of the European integrated electricity market, you diversify geographically and by generation. By building more renewable sources, we will need less and less fossil capacity.
I’ve always found it interesting how if you know someone’s strong opinion on issue X, you can typically predict their views on issues Y and Z even though there is no inherently fundamental relation between X, Y, and Z. All you need to know is the country and the time period they live in.

The fact that views are so tightly correlated on the basis of party has always fascinated me, and I wonder if there is a way you can measure the amount of “in-groupism” someone exhibits. This is probably just another term for conformity or a lack of independent thinking, as Paul mentions.

I was speaking with a relative recently who claimed he was very independent-minded and that his views didn’t match the mainstream. I replied that his views seemed to exactly match the opposite of the views of party X in the U.S. in 2023 and said this doesn’t make you independent, but rather a contrarian. You are still in fact letting party X determine what you think. What is the chance that if born elsewhere your morality would just so happen to match up with the views directly opposite to those of some specific social group in another time period in another part of the world?

For someone who is truly an independent thinker, one would expect their views to sometimes match party A, to sometimes match party B, and to sometimes match neither. This isn’t to say that merely being a nonconformist makes someone more likely to be correct; there are bound to be plenty of mistakes even among independent thinkers.

Paul has written quite a few essays on this subject, so by now I’m really curious what viewpoint(s) he has that he can’t say aloud (and whether I agree). I’ve noticed in Silicon Valley there are quite a few people who—after deeper conversation with them—seem to be independent thinkers, but they pretend to follow the in-group for the purpose of maintaining social harmony; this seems especially common among people born outside the U.S. living in the Bay Area.

> recent requirements to label foods containing sesame as an allergen led to more foods having sesame intentionally added, since it’s cheaper to add it intentionally and then label it than to prove the production facility and ingredients are 100% sesame free

Why do they need to add the sesame? can't they just say "might contain sesame" without having to explicitly add it?
You haven't given specific of this to be blunt no idea what you mean.

I already said my points about the problems your follow-up comments have not addressed those.

Also there is no such thing in s3 as a cold GET there is a cold startup for a lambda. The latency from s3 on a get is orders of magnitude poorer that EBS or LSSD and should be used "infrequently".

... and THAT should be considered a GOOD THING!

It means you've got a tried and true business case for the application, the requirements capture has already been done, you've got an instant user-base and a very clear bar to jump over. Of course, the application must be able to outperform the old application in every way, or else questions will be raised.

I think it's important to point out that the inception of these excel VBA monstrosities is innocent and pragmatic. An SME has a job to do, they're doing their job, but have a need for a custom tool to help do their job.

It is ALMOST NEVER the case that they should drop what they're doing and engage a SW development team to go through a lengthy VERY expensive process with uncertain outcomes-- all the while still having to do their job. It's much more pragmatic, in many cases, to tackle the problem piece by piece, as need arises, with little spreadsheets, scripts and little databases.

I think complaining about VBA monstrosities is wrong-headed. They should be, in a way, embraced as a starting point for devs-- hopefully BEFORE they become mission-critical to the company, however.

Most car companies are, in fact, quite old. Their big suppliers (who are often even worse at software, if you can believe that) are also quite old.
It was a partial meltdown that cause 2 billion dollars in inflation adjusted damages.

While it harmed the public perception of nuclear, it was really the cost that slowed down investments in US nuclear which then had knock on effects long term. The best way to think about it is power companies had other investments they could make that had less risks even if they had lower returns. Thus the cost is balanced not vs 0 returns but in comparison to the added benefit from nuclear.

Fewer investments meant losing knowledge of how to build the things which further reduced nuclear’s advantages. Until today when nuclear just can’t compete successfully and anyone that tries sees vast cost overruns.
Bloody hell, there go a few hours. Thanks for that (somehow both sarcastically and not).

We homeschooled our son, we planned on only doing it for a year or two to get around a not recommended by other parents 1st grade teacher at a private school he did Kindergarten at. My wife did most of the teaching. They loved it and continued all the way through high school. There are a ton of resources out there. It was a full time job for my wife and she put a ton of effort in to it. He completed High School early and started taking pull time on line university courses his Junior year. He's made straight As, got accepted at all 7 universities he applied at and got accepted at his first choice and invited to their honors/fellowship program. My wife did a great job so part of it is you get out of it what you put in to it. I'd recommend it. My son's friends who were in public school had tons of drama and stories about negative experiences in school. It probably depends on your school district and options and if someone can focus on homeschooling full time. I'd recommend year round schooling. So you can travel while everyone else is in school. Focus on school during the hot summer months and freezing winter months. Take days off for good weather and events around holidays. It's sort of like remote work for kids. Way more flexible. Plus let them study what they are interested in along with the standard core classes. You can always give it a try in the summer to test it out and see if the parent and student can focus on it and accomplish the required work. We did have a neighbor homeschool and the parent wasn't putting any effort in to it and their child was falling behind, that's not a good thing for their future so try it out and see if everyone is on board. Good luck.
I've been in the diagnostic process for ADHD twice. First time I ended up losing all the paperwork, and getting kicked out of it. In the time between the first and second attempt, I developed PTSD which essentially stalled the second diagnostic as they could not cleanly differentiate between the two. For some reason, getting a diagnosis has been nearly impossible for me, despite each diagnostician saying "ADHD is highly likely", and the PTSD was a downstream effect of untreated ADHD.

I'm curious of any other developers have found effective, non-medication based ways to manage this.
We do know that in terms of external behavior and internal structure (as far as we can ascertain it), humans and LLMs have only an passing resemblance in a few characteristics, if at all. Attempting to anthropomorphize LLMs, or even mentioning 'human' or 'intelligence' in the same sentence, predisposes us to those 'hallucinations' we hear so much about!
Arguably false. Are you trying to imply that Apple users are the only common users of messages other than text or that Apple users use third party messaging instead?

Lots of providers implement RCS, lots of people use it. Perhaps none of the people in your particular region/circle of contacts do? My contacts almost all use signal. The exceptions where there are people that don't have any third party messaging apps, they use RCS. To those people, it's "just like a better MMS", they don't know any different, it just improves their messaging with no effort.

At least for the region I know, there are _a lot_ more Android users than iOS users, and third party messaging is really common. In practice, SMS is the last resort if you have nothing else.
> because most cashiers don't like the job and probably want to interact with as few people as possible

I think you're right about some people. But it's true of any job. Some people are pleasant in that job and some people are the opposite. Just because you don't scan boxes of diapers for 8 hours doesn't mean you're immune from this behavior.

I think it's just a matter of treatment, frankly. Many cashier-like workers are treated like garbage. Imagine instead if the grocery store cashier had a pleasant or even funny conversation with everyone in their line over the day - I think it would measurably improve their mood.
No.

The variable costs are not low because the fixed costs are too expensive, which was what you wrote before and what you imply here.

The variable costs are low because fuel is incredibly cheap for the amount of power you get out of it.

So you get the ratio correct, but miss on the cause for that ratio.

Rinse aid is a dishwasher-specific product. It “helps” by removing residual soap and water spots from a dishwasher cycle.

I use a brand of dishwasher tabs that are supposed to be more “natural” and never use rinse aid, to no ill effect. Personally I think the normal tablets and rinse aid are specifically designed to be used together.

Show HN: We built a tool to help startups monitor their online presence
Hi HN, I'm Toni, i'm a Product Manager.

In June, during a team building at my company, my friend Tristan & I decided to partner up to start a side project.

After one failed attempt, we got the idea for buska out of our own frustrations :

Tristan had successfully launched an app in the past and he struggled to check every mention of it on social media, media coverage...

I had worked as a Music Manager and spent hours tracking mentions of my artists online.
And as a PM,I would manually go on every social media for user posts about my product.

At the time neither of us couldn't find a tool to get everything in one place.

So in August, we decided to build our own tool.

Our guidelines were :
- track mentions from every social media + internet + news + communities (reddit, product hunt, hacker news...)
- minimalist design focused on showing the mentions
- real time notifications for new mentions

In the current economy, online reputation is becoming a crucial asset and we believe startups and small businesses can leverage it too.

As we were building, we found out about the existing monitoring platforms, they focus on Enterprise Market, with many features and lots or reporting that suit large teams.

We designed buska specifically for startups and small businesses.

You can give it a try directly on our landing page.

And for those who would want to check more, we are currently offering the starter plan.

Let me know what you think.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated to help us improve.

Thanks for your attention.
I had to develop a simple CRUD interface for some of our analysts.

The immediate problems I faced was:

1) The analysts wanted every (CRUD) step to happen within excel - excel was indeed going to be their interface, so I needed something which I could launch from within excel.

2) The IT department refused me to grant command line access

3) The IT department refused me to install non-approved dev tools. To get them approved, would potentially take months.

4) The DB admins weren't too keen on letting me add a new DB to the existing Oracle DB. The IT department weren't too keen on me doing my own DB (see step 3)

Hell, just getting new add-ins to excel requires me to BEG the IT folks. And if I'm lucky, the add-ins will just suddenly appear. Will it take a day? a week? a month? Who knows.

So keeping all those things in mind, my only real alternative was VBA.

In the end I managed to get some permatemp solution up and running, which the analysts use once every two weeks.
There are definitely strands of HN popular opinion that strongly align with YC'S business model (the idea that funding and scale are barometers for success and YC's selection heuristics are actually how you should run your business) but I certainly wouldn't have picked migration as one of the example. If anything, I get the opposite impression when the notion of the threat to devs' one percenter status posed by underpaid and exploited visa recipients willing to wrap text in javascript for a mere 100k per annum comes up, especially if that's compared and contrasted with the general enthusiasm for the idea automating away everyone else's job and replacing it with a UBI. It'd be difficult to find anywhere else quite as hostile to the ads so many YC companies and their acquirers depend on either.

They are good examples of the GP's comment about the idea of a position on a line between left and right wing orthodoxy being the wrong way to describe how HN coalesces around ideas though...
I always use timestamps. Not just on blog posts, but on files, notes and sketches.

For public stuff, dates help others judge whether the information still applies. This matters for most types of information, but particularly technical advice. I write about German bureaucracy and a lot of the information from a few years ago is outdated.

For private stuff, dates gice you a sense of time. A good example is if you've been writing about a weird lump on your neck hurting for over 4 weeks, or realise that you were stressing about the same things a year ago. Sometimes it's just nice to see "on this day" trivia about yourself.

If you have the date, you can correlate data from different sources onto a single timeline. I made a nice project out of that: https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/timeline
