There is a burr grinder that never has a problem with static cling so does not require the spritz of water: the KitchenAid KCG8433DG Burr Grinder (the last two letters refer to the colour of the body, so mine is Dark Gray). The grinding mechanism is conical and shockingly quiet, unlike the typical flat disk burr grinders I've had over the years from Braun, De'Longhi, Black+Decker, and Cuisinart, with all their static mess and irritating loudness. The conical nature of the grinding mechanism seems to force the grounds downward quickly and directly into the lower hopper with no static or mess. The lower hopper is cylindrical, meaning that the contents pour into my coffee maker's basket so much more cleanly than from the rectangular or oddly shaped hoppers from the competitors I've mentioned.

Levers. Each company has MBAs that can pull a certain amount of levers each quarterly. Every now and then, the quarterly lever is the quality of customer support, until there's nothing left.

In theory, companies make room for others when customers get pissed off and move on. It's hard to move on from these tech giants though.
Because customer support is a cost center and big tech is in the business of profits. It is common and accepted because everyone agrees that making money is a good idea. If you're a shareholder of big tech stock you want the profit graph going up and to the right because that means your stock is a valuable commodity that you can trade for more money than you bought it for. This is all econ 101.

That is not a new occurrence, though. It has largely been like this for a 100 years now.
Prove me wrong. Give me a way to detect race from DNA sample with 100% accuracy.
The main reason is that the developed world is developed. There are existing cities that attract new people. Cities need to have a reason, midsize ones have position and big ones are big. A new greenfield city has neither of those.

The US has been making new cities, or at least growing smaller ones. Many of the metros in US like Phoenix, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando were small 50 years ago and barely existed before WW2.

There are lots of new cities in China. Shenzhen was a village 50 years ago and has 17 million people today.
It would be nice if, after you filter with a substring, the mouse-over actions (popups) would be limited to the filtered set.
nah, bro. it's fine. even if you're working in computer programming field, it's also fine to not interested in programming. though it's not to say that you should not give any shit about your work.

there's a lot more than programming while the other say life has no meaning. pick your poison.
We built a human factory farm and are disappointed in the cattle. You get what you optimize for.
I was a tile installer in a previous life, and occasionally a customer would make the dreaded request to have an accent tile placed 'randomly' throughout a backsplash. They were never happy with the placement, and clearly had no understanding of randomness. Generally what they actually wanted was 'evenly distributed'.
I remember one particular customer kept changing the accent tiles and moving them until they converged upon a very specific pattern throughout the back splash except for one tile that was out of the pattern, that they kept 'wrong' out of some ego driven desire to justify their request for randomness.
Not really. Sometimes the option not to play is not there. It's like romantic dating - you can complain all you want about how women do not see the "real" you, but if you don't take part in the dumb ritual and the vanity of it all, you will always lose to someone who plays the game.

That part I said about us being shallow and easily giving into the optics? This is not going to change, as trying to change deeply basic human nature is a fool's errand.
This reminds me of visiting a locally-famous coffee shop where the barista won some international competition for best-tasting coffee. The line was long, but I was told it was well worth the wait.

He has this whole process to make a pour over: carefully weigh the beans, three precision kettles set to different temperatures, carefully pouring, weighing, timing the water from each kettle—he even discards half of the first extraction. All of this is because different compounds are extracted at different rates based on temperature, and the first one is considered an off-flavor if it’s too strong but enjoyable nuance in the right amount. The line was long because the brewing process was long, and he could only focus on one cup at a time.

In the end, by the time the freshly-brewed cup got to me, it was lukewarm disappointment. It might have been the best-tasting coffee ever if hot, but it needed an Ember.
I'll add this speculation (take with a grain of salt, but it makes hypothetical sense):

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/chronobiologist-an... from: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38513782

: One hypothesis has to do with our DNA damage repair systems, which are regulated by the circadian clock. Food contains a mixture of nutrients and toxins. Plants produce toxins to avoid being eaten, such as psoralen, which is abundant in celery. Snacking at night introduces toxins that, at that hour, our repair systems are not ready to eliminate. There is also speculation that the major epidemic of epithelial cancers, such as colon cancer, in the U.S. is because of this.

Basically plants may be good in general, but become problematic to long-term health if, like anything else, eaten close to bedtime.

Edit: For god's sake downvoters, read what I wrote and THINK ABOUT IT before downvoting. I AM A VEGETARIAN, AND LIKE EATING VEGAN. I'm just warning people that VEG EATING LATE AT NIGHT comes with it's own RISK FACTORS. So YES, PLEASE DO CONSIDER A VEGAN DIET, BUT ALSO EAT HEALTHY BY NOT EATING CLOSE TO BEDTIME OR NIGHT SNACKING!!! OTHERWISE YOU MAY INCREASE YOUR CANCER RISK FROM EATING CERTAIN VEGETABLES CLOSE TO BEDTIME!!!!!!
Is “peak hours” a studied phenomenon? I have always assumed it is lifestyle habits and circadian rhythm/inertia. My experience with jet lag makes me think it is the latter.
So if a friend has their one copy of a legally-purchased epub on a USB drive, they can give that USB drive to me legally, right? and I can read the book and pass the drive onto someone else?
Normal is a descriptive word, so the way to settle this debate isn't to provide reasoning about why something couldn't be normal because it's so threatening.
How wild would it be if at least 3-4 are correct. I don't find it terribly outrageous or "out there" tbh, altho the US is pretty heterogenous culturally and regionally

This is, by the way, exactly what President Biden was getting at on the Senate floor decades before his presidency when he said that 'if Israel did not exist, the United States would have had to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region'.

These words have specific meanings in Deleuze’s philosophy. They aren’t that complicated.

Your comment is tantamount to someone that doesn’t speak German saying “vacuous” when they come across a word like Geist. Lazy and uninformed.

Two primary things turn me off from software engineering, which I otherwise love and have been doing for a quarter century now.

1. Building software can be more akin to painting a picture than building a house. A team of software engineers is like a group of artists at a canvas with all sorts of different preferences, brushes, techniques, etc. I don’t think we’ve efficiently solved for that in a way that’s enjoyable.

2. The pace at which you’re supposed to adapt, raise funds, build, scale, etc has a toxic feeling, probably how Wall Street money managers feel like they have to chase alpha, make certain gains per year, etc. it leads people and companies to do dumb, irrational things that frustrate and confuse.

My personal approach has been to try and separate myself from #2 as much as possible. Ignore anything anyone has to say unless I feel it in my bones they’re right. I don’t drink ycombinator’s cool-aid, or DHHs, PGs or anyone else. I listen to what people have to say and incorporate it into my OWN mental model of how software engineering has worked for me.

Also, I like to work on projects either alone or with very small focused teams where I can be expressive. That means if I’m going to take over code, I want to be able to learn something or adapt it to my standards. I prefer to work on things start to finish.

When I sit down to code, I try to push this website and everything and everyone’s’ opinions out of my mind. I picture myself in an office far removed from anything Silicon Valley, Google, or bright colors, or that strange mix of Machiavellian and Aspergers. This is my thing I get to do with it what I want. My canvas. My brushes. I’ve been doing it too long for it to be any other way now.

I think that’s how you can enjoy programming again too.
I am not a big fan of the Sokal Hoax and the follow ups. They made cheap money out of obvious misinterpretations, and did much more harm than anything else. While Chomsky, maybe from a US perspective, found some value, I am more with Derrida who analysed it as what it was: sad. I recommend his perspective https://philpapers.org/rec/DERPM
Perfect excuse to raise prices and make more profit than necessary, disguised as a "risk premium". Regulators would need to audit this.
I’m pretty sure he’s joking.

My guess is mainly the fat.

That's why the most satisfying vegan food (such as Indian food mentioned by a sibling comment) has lots of coconut milk, ghee, oil, or more recently, avocado.

Though I think there's definitely something about biting into the protein too, which is a big part of what Beyond Meat goes for.
So you are saying you are able to clearly detect ethnicity of a DNA sample? Do you have anything to substantiate that?
Your "Comparison with Vault" page is not a fair comparison. It pretends like 90% of Vaults functionality doesn't exist.
Which is absurd. "To spit upon" is a common figure of speech, and the person using it was clearly being metaphorical. Even iMessage doesn't support saliva transfer among iPhones ... as of 2023-12.
Can't you take a joke?
AVIF and WebP, two modern replacements for both JPEG and GIF on the web, both support lossy and lossless encoding.

WebP is mature and has more browser support, but AVIF is getting there (notably only lacking Edge support). Both can compress in either a lossy JPEG-like fashion or in a lossless PNG-like fashion.

If you use a image CDN like Imgix, it'll just auto-detect and serve whatever the most optimal format is anyway: https://docs.imgix.com/apis/rendering/auto/auto#format. Cloudinary too: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_optimization#how_...

For non-web, there's also JPEG XL to look at, but if you're not doing rendering an image for redistribution, it's probably better to keep it as raw as possible anyway (i.e. camera raw images plus photoshop layers, or whatever).
GIMP seems actively hostile to giving people what they want: a Photoshop clone. Even projects which would revamp the interface to be more Photoshop like were given the cold shoulder.

At this point I have fully switched to Krita. I am not a real artist and am only ever making little doodles for my apps, but the developers seem more in tune with what users need.
Show HN: wallstreetlocal – View investments from the world's biggest SEC filers
Hello Hacker News! My name is Anonyo, and I am a seventeen-year-old from Southeast Michigan. This is wallstreetlocal, my passion project for the last year.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), forces institutional money managers whose portfolios surpass $100 million to quarterly update the SEC website with their latest investments. These money managers, known as 13F (the form type of the report) filers, are the biggest investors in America, and the law forces them to publicly reveal their investments.

The problem I found was that SEC filings are cumbersome to find and view. To remedy this, wallstreetlocal saves and formats SEC data by bulk in an easily accessible format. Other websites do the same thing wallstreetlocal does, but wallstreetlocal places an emphasis on stock data. You can compare prices over time, view gains, and even download the data yourself to make any conclusions you wish.

For as many stocks as possible, wallstreetlocal provides accurate, recent data to accompany the filings. As of current, there are 850,000 companies in the search database, 30,000 stocks in the stock database, and about 50 filers queried (equates to a couple million lines of JSON, requested by myself alone).

By exploring the website, you can see the resources I used, check out some notable money managers I listed, and download any data that suits you. All for free.

I plan to open-source this project someday, but I just wanted to get it released for now. The stack uses FastAPI for the back-end, and Next.js for the front-end. The back-end is hosted on a VM using Docker for the different microservices, and the front-end on Vercel.

I made this project to better democratize SEC filings, and also to get some experience on my hands. I love computers, and one day hope to change the world through startups. In the comments, I'd appreciate any and all advice, as well as feedback on how to improve the site.

Thanks.
So - people say 'yes this is a thing for older boys/men as well', but my experience has been that it is worse among adolescents.

So - I used to play a lot of Destiny. Really loved running raids, some of the best fun I have had playing videogames. A raid requires a group of 6, all working together, sticking to their assigned role and being focused enough to improvise if a teammate falters.

To get a group of 6, you either need to know a bunch of folks, or you have to find random people on the LFG sites. There was a very common phrase in the LFG posts: "No Squeakers".

While politically incorrect I know exactly what they mean. Pubescent boys could not focus, and would not shut up. They understand their roles, but just cannot stick to it and often quickly devolve into screwing around. The kids 15-16 seemed a lot better. Young girls (what few there were) were fine too.

Even us older habitually distracted men who have trouble focusing were a lot better. There seemed to be something unique to boys of that age.
"Cleaner"? What an odd use of that word. Are you talking about bacterial concentrations? Are you talking about amount of soil contained in the food? I don't think there are differences based on those criterial. All types of human food will rot if left unpreserved.
Is it learning UI development though? Does any of this translate or scale to more demanding projects?

It is a far better outcome to seperate through political means than by uprising.

There’s definitely a deep philosophical discussion to be had here about what value governments provide in return for your tax dollars on property that in reality they allow you to do certain things with, insofar as any human can claim to own any piece of this planet. In the end, it usually boils down to paying for them to defend it from invaders and anyone trying to take it from you, so think about the tax like a protection fee that entitles you to call up guys with guns to make whoever is trying to break that government’s rules about what you can and cannot do with that property you pay tax on stop. Consider US military strength (perceived and actual, as far as we can even measure that) vs rest of world, same with property values and wages in the US vs other places.

Do you use it in datacenter? Sounds like a huge investment of time with no reason

E.g. if we want to protect from a datacenter employee plugging his usb stick with ubuntu and booting it on our server. We can probably solve it with UEFI with removing default keys and adding them for our OS. (Have never tried it so might be wrong). Also we need to set a BIOS password so that the attacker doesn't simply disable secure boot.

This works, but the attacker can just remove BIOS password -- remember, he has physical access. It's for sure harder for him than plugging a usb stick. But if he anyway willing to risk and illegally mess with a customer's server while being monitored with cameras I think he would do it.

Something feels off about all of this
Beeper Cloud Is Working Again
One side gives money, and a fraction of that money goes to the intended cause, is referred to as "fundraising". One of the more dubious aspects of donating to a charity is that some of their resources are spent persuading other people to donate to them, in what looks like a strongly zero sum game for the sector as a whole. I think there's a credible chance the system outlined here would end up at a higher effective efficiency than the current state of the art of charity fundraising.
From the perspective of a hobby unity dev who's making a jam game in Godot to feel it out, Godot has a lot of rough edges, weird choices, and stuff that's just missing.

Stuff that I've encountered so far:

- A very annoying issue where the editor will lock up after my Linux laptop wakes up from sleep. I've lost work because I've closed the laptop without remembering to close Godot first.

- Performance issues with large assets or too many assets. A single pixel art asset pack ([LimeZu's Modern Interiors](https://limezu.itch.io/moderninteriors)) brought Godot to its knees until I pruned it. The large tilemaps in there will also slow the tilemap editor to a crawl.

- I've been struggling with getting the dynamic tilemap rules to behave as expected. YMMV

- I'm not a fan of Godot's single-window UI approach, especially when it comes to scripting. You can futz with editor settings to make this slightly better, though.

- You can't mix 2d and 3d stuff like you can in Unity, and the 3d side of things is way rougher than 2d.

- They're still working out what direction to take with an Asset store.

- The shift from Unity's GameObject>Component model to Godot's single script per node approach has been an awkward adjustment for me. I keep replicating the old model by making prefab nodes that are basically just components.

- I miss Unity's play mode scene inspector. Godot is halfway there. You can poke around in the scene tree, but you don't see that update in the editor.

- The collision system isn't as straightforward as Unity

- It'd be nice if we had a bit of a slot system like we have with Vue Components for when we nest things under packed scenes.

The good stuff:

- There's only one type of signal/callback instead of the three different systems Unity can use. The signaling system is well-implemented instead of feeling bolted on.

- Godot doesn't differentiate between a Scene and a Prefab like Unity does. It avoids the don't destroy on load juggling you have to do and gives you a bit more control

- Some neat shortcuts for boilerplate stuff are built into the editor. For example, if you're adding SFX, you often want to provide several similar SFX clips to provide variety. When you set the SFX in the editor, you can assign a Randomizer to it, which takes a list of SFX and plays them randomly based on the weights and mode you set. You can even set pitch and volume adjustments to add even more variety.

- The fire-and-forget tween system is very convenient.

A lot of people compare Godot to Blender. It's not at the level that Blender is at now, but it does give me Blender pre-2.5 vibes- A solid base for enthusiasts that can be honed into polished software for the masses. I hope that Godot glows up the same way.
IMHO this stuff is not necessary. My DNA and that of my wife will be public. The rest of my family will volunteer theirs soon. And I am looking to expand the amount of public DNA from my ethnic group.

Given sufficient time, this information will be useful for the progress of science.

In some sense, this is part of a genetic adaptive mechanism. With a sufficiently tight-band public genetic release with full health history, it is possible that future science will bias to my genes.

Perhaps some of mine will be ones people desire and others not. But they will optimize to the ones that are studied. That means my genes will live on slightly preferentially.

Which, of course, means that I should encourage everyone else to keep theirs private.

Amusing thought. But I think we will all be for the better with our genomes public. It's okay if others won't submit theirs. We will submit ours and may humanity benefit from it.
This doesn’t say if it was done in a metabolic ward so I assume it wasn’t. Self reporting is so notoriously unreliable that any results outside of a metabolic ward are best ignored.

Also weight isn’t even the right metric. Body composition is what we should care about when judging a diet.
I've used one of these types of sprayers for a couple years: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X7HLJP7

I originally did it because my hand burr grinder would end up with ground coffee stuck inside due to the static electricity. One, quick, half-spray is all that's needed. Lately I also use the spritzer to dampen the filter and the grounds while I wait for my water to heat up.
I like the occasional HN troll as much as the next guy, but I’m afraid that it wasn’t a joke. The page has screenshots with big fat pixels and says it’s an ECS game engine so I assumed it was, well, a game engine for the ECS. I since learned that ECS has another meaning that I wasn’t yet familiar with.

I might’ve realized this wasn’t for the Amiga if I had read the page (or looked at the screenshots) better though.
