> would nullify my homeowners insurance

What is up with this common refrain? One of the main functions of insurance is to indemnify you against your own negligence. Let's say you turn a small stovetop fire into a house fire by trying to put it out with water - the insurance company doesn't just get to stiff you because you were responsible for causing the problem. Are there actually prevalent and enforceable weasel clauses about DIY work in some areas, or is this a scare story popularized by oversocialized redditors fantasizing about what might happen, or what?

It sounds like you may have delayed sleep phase disorder -- basically, a late-shifted circadian rhythm. I keep similar hours by default and was diagnosed with DSPD about 5 years ago. It explained a lot of issues in my life and was a relief to hear that I wasn't just "lazy" like all the morning people always told me!

As an additional plus, if you are in the United States, sleep disorders qualify as disabilities, which means employers are generally required to make reasonable accommodations, including later working hours. I find that tech companies are generally fine with varying hours anyway, but it's a nice tool to keep in your back pocket in case you have a manager that insists on 9am meetings.

But I think the answer to why is... it's just part of the general ultra minimalist trend, which is related to about 50 other trends.

Minimalism says "Look how much I don't need and how directly I interact with the world" and some people really hate the idea of hiding.

Minimalism is also more discovered than designed and some people have a strong desire for non-arbitrariness, they want some ideal of what is perfect to approach.
The exact same thing happened to me last week. My son got sick at school, enough so that they ended up calling the paramedics. But I had been spammed so much the week before with spoofed phone numbers from my area code that I had my phone on "Do Not Disturb" allowing only people in my contact list through. I thought it would be fine since the school's phone number is in my contact list.

Unfortunately the school's systems were down and so they weren't able to call me from the school's regular phone system. They called from random personal cell phones, so that went straight to voicemail. It wasn't until someone was literally sent to my house to bang on my door that I got notification of my child's medical emergency. They were about to administer medication that would NOT have been okay to give him, and I was lucky to be able to contact them and tell them to hold off before they did it.

Never mind reporting them to a phone provider. If something had happened to my son I swear to God I would have gone full Liam Neeson "what I do have are a very particular set of skills" on the jackass who's running that specific phone spam operation.
It was great though honestly, my first reaction was a bit of panic. The first thoughts that came to my mind were "will he say it sucked? maybe he used it and lost some data?". Once that didn't happen then yeah, it was thrilling, and completely unexpected for a project I hadn't worked on for over a decade!
Very cool. Some of the more extreme examples start to remind me of one of the B-sides of Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker.
Since you're giving great answers ;)

What's the problem with multiple entry points anyway? If we're not using computed goto, or dynamically verifying it when we do, aren't all of our jump targets known, and so inherently safe?

What am i missing?

EDIT: is it just a question of speed of jit for register allocation / dominance frontiers?? But the verifier is providing safety right??
Anyone know if there's a good way to allow vial / qmk like customizations with a mac keyboard? I use things like auto shift on my custom splits, but would like to have some similar features on my mac keyboard.
The story is made up. People in real life will not be that good at "curing" their emotional "flaws". This post is a little dangerous if people are reading it as a true story.
My own experience is that reporting to Google's Safe Browsing whatever is a waste of time. A lot of scam sites geo-block or redirect to a random news site when visiting from $OutsideTargetArea, so that seems to break a lot of/most automated screening.

> Federation is an example of solving an imaginary problem by creating a bunch of very real problems. Tech people care about the idea of a federated service to avoid a walled garden but this always ignore the practical implementation issues and the lack of a value proposition to users.

Federation IMO solves problems on the developer side:

1. We want to write software, not to wrangle with the laws of a hundred countries.
2. We don't want to deal with providing infrastructure for millions of users.
3. We don't want to run a community in general. Our passion is software, we don't really care what they talk about.

On the user side, the value proposition is lack of lock-in. That if you like the system, you'll eventually find some place where you fit in.

> What would be the benefit to a user of federation?

If Twitter were federated with other services, basically you'd have a way to reach select Twitter users from a saner place.

> Can I, as a user, set up my own server like I theoretically can with email? How then do we police content in such a world? What about bad actors spamming as we get with POTS and email? Who enforces things like law enforcement requests and content moderation?

People federating with you can decide to stop dealing with you in that case. Federation doesn't mean links can't be broken, or never established in the first place.

> Twitter may well die. Who cares? It'll get replaced by something else. Federation just isn't going to happen with these philosophical arguments given all the practical problems.

No system is perfect, but IMO a federated system, if done well enough is more resilient. In a federated system, the hope is that something like Twitter would be just one of many providers. Thus if the leadership goes nuts one day, it has to content with that there's 20 other nigh identical providers, and that it can over time be marginalized if it keeps being crazy.

Also, ideally federation means each community can be more focused, and have its own culture and local rules that make sense for it, but may not make sense for anyone else.

Ask HN: How to learn advertising as a Software Developer?
This time I believe I have built quite a useful side project but I just have no idea how to advertise it. Where do I begin? Are there any courses or something? Or should I just try buying Instagram / Google ads?
SO’s … ‘strict’ rules are in part informed by perceived shortcomings in communities that proceeded it. So, imagine something more chaotic :)
It's a stereotype of feminist/leftist/"woke" activists who dye their hair, likely deriving from the baleful image of Zoe Quinn that lives rent free in the heads of all modern red-pilled douchenozzles.
Why not? Does it matter if you do or don't materialise what is already in your thoughts into (what should be) a private sheet?
It being bleeding-edge makes it quite suitable for gaming. You'll always be on the latest kernel, drivers, wine etc.
Awesome. I think I will switch from rust to typescript on the front end and do something similar in WebGPU. Before I did some wasm stuff with the wgpu crate but the fact that wasm can't reach the DOM is a bit of a headache and the gains in performance from WASM seem to be offset by the fact that I still need to create a sort of communication channel between wasm and js if I want my 3D app to talk to a websocket.

Your project is very motivating thank you for making this!
For rqbit at least, there were only a few things necessary to start off with:

1. The bittorrent protocol specification: https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html

2. Wireshark dumps of some existing BitTorrent clients to write unit-tests for RPC serialization/deserialization. I used qBittorrent, but you can use any other existing client.

3. (kind of optional) DHT protocol: https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html. This actually came later, you can download torrents using just #1. But if you try to do so, you'll discover that most peer information is stored in DHT, and not in trackers.

Everything else was heuristics, observing real network behaviour, and tweaking the code accordingly.

That said, I'm not exactly the go-to expert on "how to develop BT clients and servers", as rqbit isn't as fully featured as the more mature clients. But given that the above links got me that far, I'm sure they can give a very decent start.
It is definitely highly correlated, as the commenter said.
>Whether cocaine should be legal or not is another topic

How? It should be THE topic. Fucking stop all this bullshit waste of time and money and lives trying to police what fucking adults consume in their own home. How can anyone with a brain look at all the inane war on drugs and come to any other conclusion than all drugs should be legalized?

Let them buy it in a legal, controlled, licensed, tax paying store, like the adults they are.

Absolutely childish and the one of the biggest most consistently stupid thing we as a society do is prohibition of drugs. How many people will die, how many billions will we waste on the "war on drugs" (read, war on minorities and the poor) before we wisen the fuck up? It is actually insane that we continue to play this ridiculous game and pretend we can't ALL see what the solution is.
he's clearly not talking about the people with apnea who are not overweight in that particular example...

Today Xwayland relies on implicitly synchronization. That’s apparently a legacy mechanism. Nvidia wants to add explicit synchronization support which it has as it sounds like the future whereas AMD and Intel aren’t ready for that. Xwayland devs claim the ecosystem isn’t ready and yet if a simple patch fixes the issue for Nvidia and the Xwayland folks agree eventually GPUs will use explicit synchronization, it seems like the Wayland folks are the ones dragging their feet.

First, it’s a bit more complicated than that—unless you went ahead and installed a 60A line without checking if your service(s) can handle the additional load. Advice like this is what gets people to screw up.

Second, what’s the material difference between a 40A circuit and a 60A circuit? A few extra hours overnight to charge?
Well it used to mean old ladies. In this context, he's referring to left leaning people who disproportionately dye their hair wild colors vs. conservative people.
Don't work with a live panel.

No, getting a 100% equivalent working Java system is trivial. But the goal is having something that looks like it was Java from the start not Java as written by a cobol expert. So proper use of classes. Not al globals. Sensible naming etc. The real cost is in maintenance of the code: having in idiomatic Java could help. Translating to idiomatic Java is very hard

We had purchased a commercial MS-DOS utility with the exact same name back in the early 90's. It was reasonably priced ... I think it was $50 at the time. It successfully untangled the dependency chain in our code allowing for more optimal build times.
Back in around 2004-2005, I was doing contracting work in Australia for a big retailer, maintaining one of their monolithic webapps that was built using C++, believe it or not. At that time, Ruby on Rails was the new hotness, and I was trying to learn that on the side.

When MacOS released their "dashboard widgets" framework back around 2005ish, I wrote a widget for RubyDocs and released it, and it got quite popular.

At the same time, a US company I heard about via the Rails mailing list was investing pretty heavily in Rails and, as a long shot, I applied there and mentioned I made that widget. It turns out they were all using it, and they basically gave me a job on the spot working remotely from Australia.

The experience I got in that job led me to get an job at Microsoft in 2007, and they moved me and my family to Seattle, where I still live to this day, though I left MS over five years ago now.
Most delivery agents allow for piping incomming mail to a program - for filtrering or "delivery".
I don’t think so. I’m probably of the ‘current generation’, but tubes and vinyl and tape etc. do have a certain undeniable and pleasant analogue warmth. Digital artifacts have no such quality; they just happen to induce some nostalgia amongst those of us who (in my case just about) remember when they were a necessity.

No one’s going to be converting their music library to old-fashioned low bitrate MP3s, whereas vinyl is more popular than ever. (Okay, maybe not ever, but it’s actually growing again.)
Without necessarily defending Ubiquiti's oftentimes-weird product lineup, IDS/IPS are basically useless, so there's not much point worrying about what they do to raw WAN speed.
I can tell you for a fact, having worked at them in a senior executive technical role with responsibility for security, that at least the top banks do not do this, and definitely not tech giants like Amazon. I am certain others do - but this doesn’t make it a good idea. There are a lot of bone headed things that networking hardware companies convince deep pocketed customers to do that they shouldn’t. Creating the ability to intercept traffic means none of your communications are secure within their TLS tunnels because there exists a well known and discoverable single point of failure for literally all traffic in the network.

Finally URL categorization isn’t perfect, and you end up with a leaky solution that is again, as I said, a giant cess pit of regulatory toxic waste.
it’s definitely got first draft vibes, but there is a great story in there.
That's nothing, the "Silicon Valley" part is what happened after the acquisition. Google was so paranoid about "user data" that they forced us to delete every scrap of our training datasets, going as far as physically shredding any laptop that had contained the data. We had a memorable evening at the office with the onsite shredder truck. It couldn't shred the MacBooks due to the aluminum case and we ended up smashing them with hammers in the parking lot.

When we got to Google of course privacy concerns blocked new data collection until we completed an overengineered project to build a shiny new database with access controls and stuff. About a year later with no technology progress to speak of, the whole eye tracking project was shelved due to a strategy pivot from higher up (unrelated to anything we were or weren't doing) and we all went our separate ways. Fun times!
¡Muchas gracias!

Why not just build a smaller Starship to go to the moon? It would probably negate the need for any orbital refueling. The reason of course is that Elon Musk wants NASA to fund his rocket to mars, not to the moon. I.e. technology demonstration is more important than the mission itself. This is how you get neither.
> I multiplied out the percentages for one friend, and their chances of finding someone that met all the easy requirements lead to a 1 in 10 billion chance of their perfect partner existing.

You’ve got to be careful with this kind of naive statistical approach: many attributes are positively correlated.

That one in 10B chance is more like one in 10K or 100K because of this.

Moreover, people aren’t selecting partners from a random subset of the entire human population! They meet people in their own area, of their own age, etc…

Especially important is that people tend to meet partners at school or work, which very strongly selects for like-minded people.

Hence they don’t need to meet thousands or millions of potential partners: they’re meeting a good subset that is likely to be in that ideal group.

I mean, sure, if you had completely arbitrary and unrelated requirements and you were on a series of random blind dates selected via lottery from the global population, then things would look bleak. For most normal people wanting normal things, dating feels oddly lucky.
And Ubuntu is Debian based, it's not really Debian though.

I own Steam Deck and I also use Arch as my main desktop distro. While Steam Deck uses Arch as a base, it is slightly tweaked. The file system is read only out of the box and you are supposed to upgrade it together with SteamOS from the Steam settings menu. When connected to monitor and switched to desktop mode, it runs regular KDE desktop. If you want to keep it a vanilla SteamOS (with read only system) but still install apps, you can install flatpaks (for example from KDE application store).
You’re responding to a statement you straw-manned. The comment you’re responding implies a slippery slope, not an equivalence between DIY safety and letting kids be outside.
No. What I want is more unbiased scientific study of the topic before assuming we know for certain that climate change hasn’t altered the relationship between wildfire and forrest health. Funding more research is hardly “playing fast and loose” rather it is the opposite.
It's a combination of things that screams fiction:

1. Most stories about lesbians that aren't attributed to a definitely female author are written by males.

2. It seems unlikely someone so pedantic to keep full records of their partners would be careless enough to leave the file open for someone to find.

3. Keeping spreadsheets of data about your partners is not very usual to begin with (though not unheard of), but it's hard to imagine anyone would be so meticulous to rate a partner by now fewer than a hundred criteria. I don't think I could even formulate a 100 criteria worth caring about, let alone gather enough data about a person to assign concrete ratings in just a few months of dating.
Brother, the story is made up! Real people don't behave this way.
Suppose you aren't trained, experienced or generally know about working with high voltage systems, like the author?
In 2003/2004, during my undergrad, I observed a recurring trend in the university's IT department. They struggled to retain Unix/Linux engineers for more than three months, primarily due to two reasons: the university's remote location (apparently engineers loved the city life) and the local telecom companies' at the time hired anyone who could type "ls" on a Linux shell. Recognizing an opportunity, I began self-studying FreeBSD and Linux, the operating systems used by the university for their internet services like DNS, email, and proxy servers. Before completing my degree, I applied for the sysadmin position at the uni. In the interviews, I was able to explain and answer even the hardest of questions. I was hired. I eventually went to "ls" elsewhere as well but this role, which I held for eight years, provided me with a foundational knowledge that I believe influences my career even to date!
Freely? Without any limitations? Of course not man.

25+ for hard drugs, daily limits, mandate taxes go to facilities for treatment and rehabilitation. Take the hundreds of billions from the global black market for drugs and the tens of billions we spend impotently pretending to stop drug dealers with idiotic agencies like the DEA and all of the sudden we turn a GIGANTIC minus in our budget in to a GIGANTIC increase in funding.

Weirdly enough this is likely to be Meta with Threads.

Once it adds ActivityPub integration we should start to see a lot of cross-pollination with Mastodon users.
My interest in make and makemake has recently been rekindled.

I've mostly used CMake for my build systems over the past ~20 years.

But recently I got into CUDA programming, and I was put off by the large amount of opaque magic provided by CMake's built-in CUDA support.

It made it somewhat harder to have clarity about the variety of CUDA build commands, which kinds of file each could ingest and produce, and which options they accepted.

As someone new to the entire CUDA toolchain, that magic was more of an impediment than an help.

So for starters I'm just writing a Bash script for building my code. But the next step for automation will be a hand-written Makefile, not a CMakeLists.txt file.
I made a sweet visual programming editor for JavaScript that no one really ended up using: https://devev.com/

Rec Room saw the product and hired me as their visual scripting architect. I ended up building Circuits which is used by millions of players: https://recroom.com/cv2. I've even had children message me in Discord that they've chosen to get degrees in programming because they used Circuits.

> main issue with Fediverse is the vast majority of people don't know what it is

More awareness won't help while the churn is so high. The Fediverse seems to be happy staying small, actively disdaining the sorts of user-friendly moves that would give them mass appeal (but in the process, perhaps, destroy something its current users find special).
I’m more surprised there are actually people on Mastodon
My first job was at a hydroponics store. I wanted to grow some fresh fruit in my basement over the winter, and wanted to build the system rather than buying an out-of-the-box one. I asked the owner a few questions about building a system, and got some advice from him. When I came back the second time to get more materials, I was offered a job.
Except this DIY project could kill someone if it malfunctions. There are several inadequate parts of this design that make it a safety risk beyond the fire risk.
Initially I thought we need a dedicated vector database but as we tried to build even a simple gen-ai applicaitons we realized that we need another "regular" database to build a complete application.

Instead with DataStax's Vector Search, we designed a document style API and corresponding clients that give you a Vector Native experience to do CRUD of vector and meta-data as well CRUD of other data models. Here is one client ref for example https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/astra-db-vector/clients/p...
Svekyll was originally built on sveltekit and I couldn't figure out how to get SSR and figure out the right adapter for nodejs and static hosting. Which is why I abandoned it and am much happier with a Svelte only CLI, just like Jekyll.
