As I noticed in Golang-comunity ORM is very hated, because used simple solutions. At the same time for startups ORM is too much, because spending time on backend development is very expensive, considering the probability of success... Active Record and RAD frameworks can reduce development costs, but tools like Firebase/Supabase allow for even faster and cheaper development...
Many people care about Signal, and it is okay to dislike their decision. OP didn't demand from Signal to support SMS, but they expressed their emotions about the change.

Signal is an awesome project but some of their decisions annoy many users. E.g. Signal does not allow to automatically save all pictures in the gallery. It's a privacy feature, but it's inconvenient since it forces me remember to download each image seperately.

Also, yes I am looking for a new role. And yes, I should have been spending my time looking for suitable roles instead of building this.
I received my first piece of spam on iMessage last week (used it since 2011) and it was deleted instantly by Apple. I presume because they identified and removed the account's iMessage privileges.

Any messaging app that permits spam is user hostile. Spam takes up more of my time than I would ever want to give on Whatsapp/Messenger/Text. iMessage has prevented me from contacting precisely zero people. If I were to walk away from my iPhone I would lose nothing after exporting some messages.

The barrier to entry to other potential users of $100s is well worth it for me.
Apple themselves no longer support the new minimum supported macOS and iOS versions and haven't for years.

The fundamental issue is testing, how do you acquire test environments that old and what exactly is gained by the continuous effort required to keep them running when their Apple themselves refuses to do so?
> Plus, unless they fixed it, if you enable RCS and then regret it and disable it again, anybody who texted with you via RCS will no longer be able to text you at all.

On a relative's phone, the messages app simply enabled RCS automatically without asking (and displayed a screen proudly saying it did so). Does that means that this phone will never receive SMS again from RCS users, even though we have carefully always answered "no" when it asked whether it should enable RCS (and quickly disabled it again once it enabled automatically)?
It was too cringey and creepy.
I've seen cited that the cheapest chemical battery storage is similar to the price of gas generation. If we're considering LCOE numbers, yes, that would be more expensive than nuclear then. Your local regulatory environment notwithstanding.
IIRC, they screwed it up so massively that, for a while, the chatbot would still send "thirsty" automated messages inviting users to sexually explicit conversations, but would refuse to follow through.
I've spent a small amount of time in datadog, lots in grafana, and somewhere in between in honeycomb. Out applications are designed to emit traces, and comparing honeycomb with tracing to a traditional app with metrics and logs, I would choose tracing every time.

It annoys me that logs are overlooked in honeycomb, (and metrics are... fine). But, given the choice between a single pane of glass in grafana or having to do logs (and metrics sometimes) in cloudwatch but spending 95% of my time in honeycomb - I'd pick honeycomb every time
There’s reasons nuclear plants has always been built as huge monolithic structures. Power production scales with containment vessel volume, but many of the costs scale with the area.

It’s inherently cheaper to build big.

Small modular reactors is a huge bet that if you really manage to scale up production to huge numbers, it’ll offset the inherent cost disadvantage with building small reactors. It remains to be seen if that’s the case. I’m quite sceptical, but worth a shot.
Self checkout and kiosks in fast food is the best thing that ever happened. I'm 70yo and don't hear well and it is always a difficult chore to carry on a conversation with any sales attendant. I also don't feel rushed and can review things before pushing the final pay button, so I say we need more of them.
Amazon is going to "work" with dealers until they figure out the game. I'm 100% sure this will backfire. Amazon likes money and dealers are leeches.

I think it's helpful to look at depression as a group of diseases like cancer. There are some cases of depression where we know the root cause: thyroid issues, sleep apnea-related depression, low testosterone related depression, brain tumors, etc. In those cases, addressing the root cause is probably the best treatment method. This is similar in some ways to cancer, where certain cancers have very definite causes and can be treated by dealing directly with those causes (like cervical cancer).

Then there are all the other cases, some of which likely have simple causes that are just unknown, some of which have complex causes that are intermeshed deeply with the biology of human thinking. In that case, you have blunt tools, like anti-depressants, to address the pathway of the disease without knowing the exact cause, much like chemo-therapy can be used to attack cancer cells without knowing what prompted the cancer originally.

So in short, yes treat the causes, but when you don't know the cause it's not irrational to treat the symptoms as best you can
What's the difference between feeling tired and being tired?

That is just silly. Unsinkable? For real?

This push and consent for nuclear have come out of nowhere. It is manufactured consent.
It makes sense for each component to check signatures of its code to prevent various kinds of attacks -- e.g. someone coming and reflashing just infotainment or motor controllers with something malicious.

So, OTA update comes in, containing a bundle of software for different subsystems. It's sent to different subsystems. Then, those subsystems check integrity at startup, but one subsystem's bootloader isn't happy because the firmware looks to be invalid.

You can only prevent this if the OTA knows how to do equivalent verification for every subsystem in the car that checks integrity. (And, of course, even if you do this, there's other ways you can go wrong that aren't specific to integrity checks).
Having a license is not a prerequisite to buying a vehicle. having money or equivalent is. You just won't be able to legally drive it.

But a brain sim wouldn't be an artificial lung, would it? Much like an artificial heart wouldn't tell you about the state of the valves because it's an entirely different design that satisfies the same purpose.

A simulation tries to do what the original does though. For instance a GameBoy emulator actually runs code in the way the original device did, right?

Perhaps the test here is a bit like the Turing test. Could you tell whether the artificial device was being used, or the actual thing, apart from examining the device, of course:

- An artificial lung doesn't make people breathe in quite the same way I suspect.

- An artificial brain would give answers a bit like what ChatGPT can already do.
How does it work? Can't understand from the description

Oho, finally. My Mini ITX setup has been waiting for this release because I didn't want to install 13 when 14 was so close.

Random comments:

I know I will forget about this and keep using a Python REPL.

Much appreciated.

Nice to hear, but unfortunately I get the impression that bus factor is 1 for the maintenance of these releases, so I stopped using FreeBSD in AWS just out of an abundance of caution.

> OpenZFS has been upgraded to version 2.2. New features include:

> block cloning, which allows shallow copies of blocks in file copies. This is optional, and disabled by default; [...]

This sounds interesting, but I wonder what would be the advantages compared to enabling dedup on a specific dataset (disclaimer: I've never used dedup).

> FreeBSD 15.0 is not expected to include support for 32-bit platforms other than armv7.

This doesn't currently affect me, but it's good to know anyway.

It would be useful if people did not treat "Science" and "Noted Scientist" like "Roman Catholic Church" and "Cardinal or Pope". Lawyers are smart and honest enough to preface everything they say about the law, outside of their own little niche specialties, with huge disclaimers. Is there some reason why scientists are so dim or crooked that they won't even aspire to lawyers-level professionalism?
I think the Longhorn UI prototypes were the best exponent of Fruitger Aero - information-dense, glossy, alive with ambient animations everywhere - the anti-Windows of today. Also, nowhere near close to ever having been implemented.

I think this is a nice idea. I've always been fascinated by the distinction between how we build MVPs/quick side projects, and how we build stuff as employed engineers. There's the classic trope of an ex-FAANG engineer working for months so their MVP can seamlessly serve hundreds of thousands of users. The most successful thing I ever built was built with really hacky code; I didn't know what I was doing at all, but I knew what I wanted to build. I'm a much better dev today, but I also tend to over-engineer things now.

I think of it as being akin to knowing music theory. You think it'll make you a better musician, and it does, but first it overrides your creativity and you end up just following the patterns you learn. It's hard to think freely when you know how it's "supposed" to be done.
Thanks, appreciated!

There is now some publicly available evidence about 5-10 'Western' actors operating DSPs (or partnering with DSPs) for natsec or 'cybersecurity' purposes. Still no evidence about actors from other regions, but...

Ask HN: How do you escape, or better handle, the rat race?
I did not come from money. I am but a working class person in a great job (10 years experience in this industry now), and on paper, I am “successful”.

But good lord, I am not close whatsoever to escaping the rat race. And I cannot fathom working in this capacity for the next 20 years.

I have tried a few businesses over the last ten years: most failed (and lost money), but one has managed to bring in about $40,000 a year. I’m super proud of that, but it’s not at all some “freedom ticket” that grants me the peace of mind of financial independence.

I’m really just curious if anyone out there has felt this type of depressive burnout when you zoom out and realize, “this is the next 20-30 years”.

> Turning those abstract speaker identifications into actual names would seem to require a fair bit of intelligence

As someone looking for this functionality, this is the easiest part for me to do manually. Just give me "Speaker A, Speaker B, Speaker C", and I can change their names. It's the breaking apart of audio into separate speakers that's difficult - I'm trying out a few different tools, and none of them do a great job so far.
They haven't won in every state, I don't think.

Not only do dealerships provide local jobs but generally their owners tend to be well to do and donate prolifically to local elections, where dollars are normally otherwise scarce because of their lower participation rates.
You're right. It's not retro. It's timeless.
I would be surprised if people didn't know that coloing was cheaper. I certainly evangelize it for workloads that are particularly expensive on AWS.

It's not entirely without downsides though and I think many shops are willing to pay more for a different set of them. It is incredibly rewarding work though. You get to do magic.

* You do need more experienced people, there's no way around it and the skills are hard to come by sometimes. We spent probably 3 years looking to hire a senior dba before we found one. Networking people are also unicorns.

* Having to deal with the full full stack is a lot more work and needing manage IRL hardware is a PITA. I hated driving 50 miles to swap some hard drives. Rather than using those nice cloud APIs you are also on the other side implementing them. And all the VM management software sucks in their own unique ways.

* Storage will make you lose sleep. Ceph is a wonder of the technological world but it will also follow you in a dark alleyway and ruin your sleep.

* Building true redundancy is harder than you think it should be. "What if your ceph cluster dies?" "What if your ESXi shits the bed?" "What if Consul?" Setting things up so that you don't accidentally have single points of failure is tedious work.

* You have to constantly be looking at your horizons. We made a stupid little doomsday clock web app that we put all the "in the next x days/weeks/months we have to do x or we'll have an outage." Because it will take more time than you think it should to buy equipment.
I think it is actually pretty interesting. I wonder if there could be enough passive cooling to simply dump the reactor core in the case of overheating, providing a failsafe against potential meltdown.
It is a bit confusing to me because it is often said that the brain draws about the same amount of energy, no matter what. Perhaps people also eat less during tournaments.
Here is a better source you can read using Google Translate: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/regeringen-massiv-utbyggn...

The agreement is neither bi-partisan nor contains anything guaranteeing a massive expansion. The article says that if private companies wants to build nuclear reactors they will be able to lend money from the state and also be shielded from (some or all) of the risk. So when the projected cost of the reactors double then triple and the whole project gets delayed a decade or more you can guess who will foot the bill. Sucks to be paying tax.

Fortunately, private investors aren't that interested. They don't want to waste one billion of their money even if the taxpayers waste nine billion of theirs.
this is in testing and coming to you early next year.

> and most importantly doing this before spending half a million/year on AWS

AWS is... incentivizing scope creep, to put it mildly. In ye olde days, you had your ESXi blades, and if you were lucky some decent storage attached to it, and you gotta made do with what you had - if you needed more resources, you'd have to go through the entire usual corporate bullshit. Get quotes from at least three comparable vendors, line up contract details, POs, get approval from multiple levels...

Now? Who cares if you spin up entire servers worth of instances for feature branch environments, and look, isn't that new AI chatbot something we could use... you get the idea. The reason why cloud (not just AWS) is so popular in corporate hellscapes is because it eliminates a lot of the busybody impeders. Shadow IT as a Service.
> Similarly to how Journalists feel justified in stories that have negative repercussions for some parties being reported upon. One way of assessing these decisions is answering the question "Is more harm done than good by releasing information this to the public?"

That method leads to the worst evils in the world. Many have concluded, or used it to justify everything from, 'it's ok to take these poor people's land and give it to megacorp, because we'll get a factory' to 'it's ok to silence these journalists because it's for the public good' to 'it's ok to kill my enemies because I think they are bad' to 'it's ok to commit genocide against this group because the world will be better off without them'.

Who am I, or who are you, to decide what is good or bad, or how good or bad, or to weigh those things for others? Beyond our obvious cognitive limitations (as humans, we are too flawed cognitively and morally to make judgments for others) and lack of legitimacy (who elected us?), there is our obvious bias - 'good' is what is good from our perspective, based on our biases, subject to our ignorance of others.

That's why human rights exist: It's their right and you can't make that decision for them; it's up to the person involved. If you think their land, etc. is so important, then ask them - it's up to them whether they want to do it. They have property rights, speech rights, etc. and nobody can abridge them, and in the limited circumstances where they can be abridged, there is a whole infrastructure of legitimacy (democracy), protection from corruption (separation of powers, juries, etc.), process (law, due process).
Aw damn, this is just a landing page. Gah. I get that you're validating a product idea, but you can't say "That's why I created IndieHackerStacks, a platform that makes finding the right tools easier and quicker" if there's no platform. That's frustrating. Surely Show HN has to be more than a landing page.
It's funny that everyone says "green bubble shame". Green bubble never meant "Android". It just meant SMS. I get green bubbles with iPhones sometimes when my data isn't working but SMS is. The whole point was to tell you that you may be charged for the message because some carries charge per SMS.
Having abandoned wondoze about 20 years ago, I can only laugh at this.

It's obviously (like windoze in general) not for people that have the slightest clue about how a computer works.

Once you have enough s/w on the local device, to boot and connect to the internet, why do you need to load windows at that point?

I cringe daily as I watch the increase in the number of linux developers (both the kernel, and applications) doing their work in WSL.

Just another reason I'm glad I was born before corps worshiping children ruined the internet (NOTE: this is just a joking rhetorical response the the whine of "grown-ups ruined everything")

No wonder the modern generations will never own homes, or have financial security, corps worship is self-sabotage...

For me, it only affected phone numbers that I had exchanged texts with that also had RCS enabled. Phones that didn't have it enabled, or numbers I had not exchanged texts with, were unaffected.

This was quite a while ago. They may very well have fixed the issue since then.

And yes, I noticed they enable RCS by default. Since then, the first thing I have done with new phones is to disable RCS. If you do that before sending/receiving any texts, then there is no issue.
I'm hoping "China is ahead" will be a motivating factor for the incumbents to push for this.
If I am a to-be parent working 2 jobs and can barely afford food and shelter and the first time I see a doctor when pregnant is at the emergency room when delivering and the only paternity leave I get is some paltry wage from the state, in what universe does it matter that some women died of childbirth in the past 20,000 years? Like I said, it doesn't.

The difference of availability of support between the lower class and even the upper middle class is staggering and probably the widest it ever has been in human history. That's the point. Take a look at child mortality rates. They are much higher for the lower class and are part of the reason why the U.S.' rate is so low compared to other countries.

If you're comparing the suffering of the lower and middle classes to any other time in the past 20,000 years, do you not understand how little that makes sense? Of course it's better if you set the bar so low. And again like I said, you really can't compare. The mental and emotional stress that people experience today is of a different nature that hasn't existed before.

In the north thermal energy storage is a viable solution, and those can store energy for months. You can dump heat into them in summer and still pull from it in winter.

Since heating is by far the biggest consumer of energy in winter, just taking care of that with stored thermal energy will deal with a big fraction of the energy storage needs.

We need more districting heating systems.
