If living in a tight knit village, sacrificing your freedoms is the best option you have, then that is what most people choose. If there exists an option for you retain your freedom and have financial independence and physical security, then people tend to choose that

you make it sound like these are opposing incompatible choices. why not choose both?
i'd love to live in a small tight knit community. going to school and getting a good education does not prevent that. and with more options to work from home it is now even more possible than it was in the past.

also, people didn't move because they wanted to gain independence. they are forced to move because they can't find work at home. in europe the majority of people live where they grow up and do not move far from there, unless lack of local jobs forces them to. which is one reason why big cities are popular and growing because jobs are there, and it is more likely that future generations will have jobs there too, so they can stay.
and it's not making nudity illegal, it's about nonconsensual creation and distribution of images with nudity. which may be connected with bullying, blackmail, extortion, or may not be.

>If a naked picture of you is causing you to choose suicide

really great response. almost as good as 'if rape is causing you to choose suicide'. 'maybe we need to fix how society views rape'. nonconsensual nude imagery and pornography is much closer to rape than not.

Some can spin freely if they have their stops removed. Tektronix did this for their late 70's vintage scopes like the 2465. The discontinuity from the wiper crossing the gap was mostly hidden with firmware.
Yeah, I just tried this out (props to the devs, super easy to set up) and my main gripe is the chunking algorithms aren't great - could be alot more useful with a context option that gives surrounding results to search results.

Have you tried the Copenhagen Metro? It has a twin-bore tunnel system that allows 24/7 service with a higher frequency than the New York City Subway. It's cheap to use thanks to the efficiency of driverless trains.

What does Boring Company bring to the table? Tunnel boring machines already exist. Having cars instead of trains just increases the cost of operation.

I've only read A Fire Upon The Deep, which I found super interesting in terms of setting, but the storytelling felt a bit clunky to me at the time. I was still intrigued by the author though and I read A Deepness In The Sky and was blown away.

It's really easy to build a basic visible cosmic ray detector - they're called cloud chambers. Here [1] is a random video, but you can find countless sources just searching for 'how to build a cloud chamber.'

If you haven't seen one of these before, it might sound more cool in paper than in practice. Cosmic rays are absurdly abundant to the point that dozens to hundreds are passing through you per second. So a cosmic ray detector ends up turning more into something like a really neat art show than a search for a signal. Of course there is the search for 'the big one', but somehow it's not quite so romantic when you're getting plowed by these guys constantly.

Meh. I think Valve would definitely support Proton on Linux if Mac had Vulkan support on the GPU. High performance DX 9,10,11,12 translation to Vulkan is what made Proton possible. And no MoltenVK is not enough.
>In terms of happiness, I love it.

In terms of happiness, I agree. Productivity is not bad too (understatement of the year :). But as for any powerful tool, to get the most or even a lot from it, you have to spend some time. But IMO at least, the learning curve is shallow, for easy to medium tasks.

And anyone not knowing the basics of vi, can get started very quickly with my vi quickstart tutorial below.

I had first written it at the request of two Windows sysadmin friends of mine, in a company where we were working at the time.

They had been given additional charge of two Unix boxes, so, being busy people, as sysadmins usually are, they asked me to write a tutorial that would let them hit the ground running for common sysadmin text editing tasks. After reading it and using Unix for a few days, they told me that it was useful and met their need.

The tutorial is small, so it can be read soon and you can start applying it right away:

https://vasudevram.gumroad.com/l/vi_quick

It enables you to start with just some basic vi commands, and as you go, you can build more vim-fu by reading the docs, blogs, videos, practicing, etc.

Also be sure to check out this famous StackOverflow answer to grok the zen of vi:

"Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.":

Being able to choose housing with that level of granularity still requires wealth that exceeds most incomes. For most, just finding housing without lots of significant negative impacts - this is about the edge of possibility. For even that minimal outcome, the odds aren't terrific.
XRF=x-ray fluorescence. You shoot X-rays into a metal, typically the gamma rays from an Am-241 source. This causes atoms in the metal to fluoresce their own gamma rays that are a (somewhat) unique signature of the atom itself. So in sum, XRF allow one to non-destructively determine the atomic constituents of a bulk material (but 'heavy' materials..heavier than Silicon for example).

> They're taking their developing brains and going up against billion dollar algorithms designed by armies of professional psychologists

You WISH they were developed by professional psychologists. They were mostly designed by undergraduate-trained programmers and UX "researchers" who took 2 semesters of basic psychology and learned what the word "heuristic" means and ran with it wholesale. I can tell you first-hand as a psychology PhD I'm basically unhireable for those positions because in training for my actual degree I didn't get the programming skills they require.
A Deepness In The Sky is the best in the trilogy, by far.
Banning non-consensual nude imagery would "fix" that "broken system". The "game" would be fixed, if those games would be made illegal. So why don't you like that as a solution? Is it supposed to be just "hated" without actually being fixed?

You're conflating 'nudity' in general, and non-consensual generated nude images, but like, these things are just different, and are treated differently. There isn't a misunderstanding that nudity in, say, art, is different from nudity in porn, or that there's difference between consensual and nonconsensual depictions, or whether something involves made-up characters and real people. So why insist on conflating these two just for the sake of 'throwing hands' like problems there can't be solved, and that some specific, more narrow set of problems can't have a solution on it's own, when it can.

> A $1mm 30 year mortgage at 3% fixed means paying $4200 a month

I feel like I'm teaching someone to suck eggs but but the price of houses has rocketed in both terms of absolute and relative-to-earnings.

Your $1mm house was $300k two decades ago, and $60k two decades before that. 8%/30yr on those sums was affordable. Interest rates of 8-10% were normal in the 90s. Expensive credit isn't the problem.
Given the cost of the hardware and power and everything else required to run it and support it, how can you say that 20 cents an hour is unreasonable? There's very little profit margin there. At this price it would take roughly a year for them to make a profit. If you need continuous usage at the lowest price then you need to buy a GPU on ebay.
Serious question: Why wouldn’t Elon just fund it all himself? $43M is 0.02% of his net worth.
It’ll be interesting if electric cars become ubiquitous and have enough charge to stay above 50% with daily use… a simple change like Ford does with the F150 lightning can allow them to deliver power back to the house, which will be crucial during peak loads, and they can charge up again at random off-peak times. A car can basically function as a mobile power sink/source to distribute load evenly throughout the grid.

Many apps make this impractical by not separating the notifications into separate categories, so you either have to accept the spam, or break functionality that spans from convenient (credit card payment notifications) to critical (2FA push prompts that may only be accessible from the notification).

Remember Borland tools showing compilation speed? What about modern compilers?
It's quite obvious for iOS developers that Swift compiler is SLOW.

But how slow? I made a toy project that tries to (naively, I admit) compare compilation speed of a few compiled programming languages: C, C++, Go, Rust and Swift.

Some interesting observations:

- Go is the FASTEST by a huge margin, especially in release mode
- HUGE difference in debug/release compile time for C & C++
- Swift is the slowest, especially in debug

I observed no big difference in debug/release for Go & Rust which could simply show that I did something wrong? Correct me please in that case!

I've a feeling that with more complex example (with a lot of generics or advanced type inference for example) Swift would be even slower.

I love Swift and it definitely has the most satisfying & sensible syntax of them all. It's pleasure to work with.

But slow compile speed affects all kinds of Swift workflows like Live Previews, Playgrounds: to the point that they became unusable with larger codebases.

I grew up poor and moved far away from my family to change it. In the rich land where I now live, most people I’ve met could do a little better by moving to another town but they choose to remain close to their families and their birth community. With that said, they still have to raise their children on their own, because it is culturally inappropriate to ask, accept or (god forbid![^1]) offer help.

It's an if/then statement that stops at the if.
The $ocial Theory of Money
This gets tricky for several reasons: The current law on the matter is largely dictated by the Vienna Convention on Diplimatic Relations, 1961. He was born in 1961. While the US and Iran both signed the Vienna Convention in 1961, the US ratified in 1972, and Iran in 1965.

Current US law on the matter (22 USC § 254) is pretty much entirely defined in terms of the Vienna convention. As such, current US law on the matter is pretty irrelevant.

I have no idea what the legal situation was when he was born. Likely there was still a distinction, but even today the Vienna Convention, to the extent one can use it to guess whether it's believable that he might be affected (and it's perfectly possible the US State Department official who caused this is just wrong), in article 37 grants "members of the administrative and technical staff of the mission, together with members of their families forming part of their respective households" who "are not nationals of or permanently resident in the receiving State" limited immunity.

So you're right they would not have full immunity under the terms of the Vienna Convention, but some immunity does extend to family, and the question then becomes how much immunity did they have under pre-Vienna Convention US law, and how much immunity is sufficient to justify legally withholding citizenship.

My best guess is that this guy will get his citizenship back, and that it will turn out some overzealous bureaucrat saw that the dad was embassy staff, saw the word immunity, saw the word immunity on some checklist and didn't check the details - whether or not there'd be some technical possible justification for withholding it or not. Hopefully for this guy someone decides it's a stupid waste of both money and political capital to pursue this before he ends up spending even more on lawyers...
Much props to the maintainers for making this available at all, but I gotta say that as a user (gamer), the experience is a pain. Some games work, sort of, after a lot of configuration (often with outdated instructions, https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/wiki/Game-Support. Many games don't work at all, or only work on some platforms (e.g. Battle.net but not Steam for Diablo 4). Dozens of issues remain unaddressed: https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues

I wish Apple would hire a team to properly maintain this, the way Valve has done with Proton and Steam Deck Verified.

In the meantime, I find that GeForce Now (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/) provides a much more seamless, one-click-and-play experience. It works every time and doesn't break on every update, etc. Its primary downside (aside from a very reasonable monthly subscription fee) is that it has a relatively small game library, with only a subset of Steam/Epic/Xbox title available to play. But of the games it supports, it provides an overwhelmingly better experience than Whisky, GPT, or even native Apple Silicon gaming. The 4080 is dramatically more powerful than even the highest end Mac, and running it in the cloud means no local noise or heat, and much much better battery life. For anyone interested in actually gaming on a Mac without headaches, with good graphics and a good framerate, I'd strongly recommend GFN and just ignoring the ports or emulation layers. It's just a much better experience.

Ask HN: Strategies for Providing Live Data to B2B SaaS Clients?
Our startup offers an OpenAPI/REST API for clients, primarily medium-large businesses with IT staff. Our API serves its purpose, but we're facing 2 challenges:

1. Our clients struggle to access "live" data as we don't offer web-hooks.
2. We don't provide data with applied business logic, such as status reports.

Of course we could (should?) build those things but (A) building/maintaining a web-hook service seems daunting and (B) it feels suboptimal.

The goal is to provide real-time read-only data where my clients don't each have to implement data-sync.

In my head, it feels like we should give each client a small, read-only Postgres instance where we keep updated reports and fairly denormalized data. Then they can just hook into it and setup their own watchers, etc. If they need more muscle, then they replicate it to their own instance. But is there something "better" I could provide?

SupaBase seems close, but again - that's both us and our clients having intimate knowledge of propriatary tooling - whereas SQL (Postgres) is nearly universally known.

So if you were trying to provide realtime data and reports to a bunch of SAAS client IT groups, how would you provide it?
The age of being too scared to speak up is nearing an end. Money, ideology, coercion and ego doesn’t actually define 100% of the population. It defines a convenient portion.
Yes, but that is the question and premise.

There is a lot of money to be made if someone can figure out how to do that paperwork. There are 12 trillion dollars of mortgage loans in the US, so converting a tiny fraction from 3% to 5% would be a goldmine.

Essentially a 66% return for doing "the paperwork". That's 660k profit for doing the paperwork on a loan previously worth 1mm.

This is obviously rare today due to the paperwork complexity. That complexity IS the alleged market failure.
