> I simply ensure it's not easy to strike me in a way that puts me at a disadvantage. I don't use software distribution platforms like Steam (despite even having been invited to such platforms), nor do I publish for mobile app stores. Doing so would put me at risk of becoming the underdog in a DMCA lawsuit, which is an impossible task to win unless you already have the assets.

> Instead, TTC would have to sue me directly, which would put us at equal footing.

I’m not certain of this, but aren’t the domain registrar (in this case Namecheap), DNS host (in this case Cloudflare) and web host (uncertain) also parties that DMCA takedown notices can be sent to, and who will consequently disable the domain in some way? Or at least one or two of these three?

Sure, it’s probably a slightly higher barrier, as the typical software distribution platforms often make takedowns easier than they need to be and the attacker is more familiar with their procedures, but you’re still using others’ platforms to distribute things.

Show HN: Who's hiring thread for LinkedIn posts
For a bunch of super smart people they sure run a shite service. I've received the same spam multiple times in the last few days. Marked as spam every single time. And each time they failed to identify the exact same message as spam.

It's incredible how brain dead Google have become.
There are multiple sites that do already do that, this is one I like - https://perchance.org/youtube-video
It depends. Windows can be set to shapes going back to like Windows 95, iirc.

But alpha, specifically, would be faked at that point. Windows 2000 supported alpha for such things in a basic way, like XP. Vista with Aero and 7 then really expanded the themes and the window compositing.
As a senior citizen with an already-horrible memory I am terrified of something along these lines happening to me.
How did you fall? What happened exactly?
Currently GitButler only generates commit messages in this way (with some config options for style e.g. semantic commits). With that said, generating PR descriptions is something I was tinkering with this morning.

(disclaimer: I'm a GitButler co-founder)
The way I see it, the author might be trying to model the process of solving a design problem in terms of PCA decomposition vs a mere multivariate regression.

Certainly in vogue given the focus on data analysis, AI/machine learning lately.

Doesn't seem too far-fetched. Ok some things could be better explained but overall the article is still nice in my opinion.

Found that entertaining.
Noise Expressions 2.0
This is over 10 years out of date. Pinterest today has literally 40x the number of users this article is talking about, and I’d bet the architecture is very different. It might still hold lessons for scaling today, but things sure have changed since 2012.
I think we should those restrictions back. The products just being mass sold by wish.com, TEMU and Shein are dangerous. Amazon and Walmart deserve just as much flack for also selling dangerous goods. Radioactive wellness bracelets to sketch powersupplies. Not only that but the carbon footprint on shit shipped is massive!!!

Does a 4-Day Work Week Reduce Your Carbon Footprint?
I’m the writer of this. I linked to this presentation very clearly throughout the article as a source.

This was an article meant to resurface learnings from something that happened a decade ago, with added images and a clear distillation so that somebody doesn’t have to watch the 45 minute presentation to understand what happened.

I’m sorry you didn’t like it.

But I hope you can see the value I’m trying to provide here, as someone myself who doesn’t really have the time to sit through hour-long presentations to learn something.
Yes, DIY can be cheaper but reliability is key for such systems.

If you know what you're doing (not hard to these days with so much information online), and depending on where you live, DIY HVAC can be far more reliable than getting a "licensed professional" who will attempt to overcharge for mediocre work or even scam you.
Ask HN: What personal projects are you working on over the holidays?
Looking forward to a few days of deep 'long attention span' work, such as coding, crafting, and writing, which I usually don't have time for in my daily work life.

I'm curious to hear what interesting projects you are working on?
Correct. This is a retrospective of an artifact from the early 2010s. The architecture is much different now.
At a hacker con we built a public cluster of terminals. One set of terminals was a bunch of 486's that net-booted a mini Linux distro with just a kernel and an X client, connecting to a hardened X server.

I left a root prompt in one of the VTY's so people could mess around with it, but it being a net-booted BusyBox shell, there wasn't much to play with. We weren't concerned about MITM, because the network was token ring - in the mid 2000s. Convention full of hackers, and a bunch of machines with root shells open, but nobody hacked it, because nobody could get on the network.

We shipped all the gear up on an Amtrak from Florida to NYC. We had no budget nor interest in shipping them back or storing them, so we stacked them on the sidewalk and started yelling about free computers. In two hours they were gone.

I've been waiting for the remasters of the Cameron films for years. Goddammit.
StackOverflow gets away with their arch because they have a much bigger read load than write load, and a design that can “hide” slow writes.

I would hazard a guess the Pinterest usage model has a somewhat higher write-load, and is more sensitive to slow writes/non-propagating writes.

Do I think their arch is still overkill? Yeah, do I think equating them with SO and friends is reasonable? No.
Love seeing so much of jQuery deprecated and removed due to it becoming available in JavaScript core. Well done jQuery!

Having said that HTMX is now my main tool now for front end.
It's why old physical media ownership and ripping it, is so important for true preservation. Pirates are doing God's work here. You can't count on IP holders, bug movie studios and streaming services, both for availability and for accuracy.
This is hard science
The relaunched and redesigned Archive of Digital Art (ADA)
How the folks at the Archive of Digital Art (ADA) describe their archive (source: https://digitalartarchive.at/archive/about/):

As a pioneer in the field of Media Arts research, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA) has documented the rapidly evolving field of digital art since 1999. This research-oriented overview of works at the intersection of art, science, and technology has been developed in cooperation with international media artists, researchers and institutions as a collective project.

Expanded Concept of Documentation

Since todays digital artworks are processual, ephemeral, interactive, multimedia-based, and fundamentally context dependent because of their different structure, they require a modified, or "expanded concept of documentation." We ascribe high importance to artistic inventions like innovative interfaces, displays or software.
There's a strong argument that Kosta Boda knowingly cheated her out of lifetime+75 years copyright:

“A major change in the Swedish copyright law in 1961 meant that works of applied arts have since enjoyed the same copyright protection as other works, today lasting for 70 years after the death of the author,” said Katarina Renman Claesson, a lawyer for KRO who is advising Wolff’s lawsuit.

“Yet even though Ann Wolff signed her contract with Kosta Boda in 1972, the company argues that the pre-1960 law applies in this case.”

"Loot" is rather strong when she is seeking a low (in terms of royalties enjoyed by others) sum of €1m from a company with a yearly turnover of €806m in 2022.
Is this just for monitoring HN or other sites throughout the world?

I'd love to build a niche news service for a small market.
Good for you if this is useful to you. But from my point of view this is another low effort slap it together web technology text editor, with emphasis first on a cool name branding - false promises title (coolname.tld), with barely any features and added value on top of stack it is running, almost indistinguishable from next to dozen other so called productivity apps that usually stop being supported few years after launch, and overall almost unnecessary compared to fast, reliable, extendible but hard to make software like Sublime Text that probably outlast most software like this by decades.
> The whole thing is an exercise in writing 5x as much to say 1/2 of what's needed

That thing right there is what I despise most in non-fiction/non-recreational reading!

A good text says what it wants to say in as few words as possible while remaining easily intelligible to the intended audience.

Clarity & conciseness are the central virtues!
Hmm, sounds like the relationship I have with Trello.
It’s the basis of the design of Smalltalk (see http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/1998-...) and needs scaffolding in Java to work which does seem significant.
the doctor might also be disinterested. Nothing is infallible, but increasing your source count should increase your likelihood of good info.

AI has high source count. I'd trust it, with some grains of salt. It's mostly right, and where it's not, i can pick up the slack. and if i don't, well, it's not like i could trust what's on the internet, or the news, anyway.

i need to live with my own ignorance, ultimately improving that is my responsibility.

you have to make your own judgements. i don't think people should be uncomfortable with that. but it's understandable that after a long era of 'authoritative information programming' people might be. yet, that attitude to me seems decidedly pre-postmodern, anachronistic, tv-era.

not the done thing for the internet age. anywho...merry christmas to you! :)
Year-in-Review: 2023 Was a Turning Point for Microservices
This doesn't really qualify as "stupid" though.

That's just the good old "interfacing with legacy systems" routine. :)
> Well, let me tell you that you are my first favorited comment not containing technical info since... July 2022.

Thank you! I feel like it had to be said.

> Also I'd love working with you (programmer with 22 years of experience, 43 y/o).

Gladly! Message me to <my-nickname-> at protonmail dot com although I gotta warn you my hiring budgets are frozen atm.

> My question to you is: do you manage to implement the policy you are advocating for?

Yes! I got lucky enough to join a startup early-ish in my career and scale it up over the years. In my position (VP of Eng)I managed to have enough of influence on the the money people to be able to run the engineering org properly and without much interference. I even managed to pull off a 4 day work week for the developer teams with no reduction of salary. People've been happy, rested, our retention is very high for the industry (+4-5yr) and productivity (I hate that word) didn't suffer a single bit. Who knew? (Apart from 100s of studies).

Anyway, all that came with a cost of me not being very popular with the C-suite of the company, but that's life. You can't win all people's hearts, you just gotta try to do what you think is right.
Maybe not 8-bit, but my HP 200LX runs months on 2 AAs and is only moderately bulkier (thicker) than a modern smartphone. With a CF card you can have hundreds of excellent DOS programs/games on it.
Given the average person's approach to InfoSec (what's wrong with "password" as a password????) this is probably no bad thing
Playing with hashicorp vault and ACME
Doesn't it just show that non-members dislike walls? In this case the requirement of an account. I think it would be a bad idea to rate Netflix and Discord based on how non-users experience them.
Please educate yourself before you accuse people of incompetency. Of course it was about (pseudo) alpha blending because "smooth shadows" around everything became very popular in the late 90s.
What does this mean? How does it have anything to do with "lack of historical understanding, lack of empathy" ?
Mikado v0.8 has just published the fastest middleware render engine for Express
A whole new generation of Mikado is ready to ship and is providing great improvements. One of them is the full support of Server-Side-Rendering (Node.js) and the ability of using hydration. The SSR imeplementation uses the same strategy of shared instances as for the client counterpart. It provdides performance on an extreme level. The SSR also comes with a middleware render engine for Express, which is the fastest you can use today, up to 10x faster than "Marko". Also, both server and client shares the same template markup, making things a lot easier. Mikado is the first library which holds the title for the "best performance benchmarks" on both, client-side and server-side.
Do you have any straightforward leads or pointers on what the tech stack looks like today?

It would probably be very interesting to compare then and now.

Show HN: Stock Chart + Reddit-clone = facts in context
Here is a product video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-5fGsfWu4w

Please support us on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fnchart

We are a team of 5 (4 coders and 1 graphics designer).

This has been an absolute labour of love for all of us on the project.

We have always believed that most people completely miss the context behind movement of stock prices. We wanted to build this platform to not only put stock price movement in context, but also to provide far richer depth of information.

We also hope that financial journalists take advantage of our platform to discover story ideas, and to be able to use our direct messaging to reach out to experts directly, to get further details on a possible lead.

In the future we will also allow users to see levels of engagement on various posts, so a journalist can get a sense of how popular a topic is before committing to write a full story on it.
For aggregated data and stats like this I think it could be fully publicly available.
It should be financed by taxes, which includes caveats like eliminating virtually useless degrees like music education, drama, fashion design, anthropology, etc. People who want that can pay out of pocket for private institutions.
Do they ever coin new suburb names? What happens then?
This reminds me of an old Bosch clock I own. This was one of the early electric consumer clocks. It looks very futuristic. But inside, it is simply a mechanical clock with an electric motor attached to the wind-up mechanism. Every few minutes, the motor spins up for a second and winds the clock up again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=0DU0KX9gIk8

The clock is extremely reliable, though. The last batteries lasted for 10 (!) years.
I doubt any of YouTube is being served off tape. Some impressive amount of its data is probably served from RAM.
Half a joke, because the concept is very much the same. You "paint" to an invisible buffer and then you swap.
Not by money meant for science.
Except for, netflix and discord aren't SEO spam and don't pollute search results.
This reminded me of an ongoing hack that I have running in a production webapp.

When I was writing it there was no easy opt-in cache busting (renaming scripts at build time, or applying a static random querystring to the script requests, etc) in the minimal framework I was using and I was getting away with not using a task runner or anything like that.

It was one of those "would be nice, but effort is better spent elsewhere" things, so to this day before I do releases I still bump a hardcoded version number that I pass to the templating engine for each route.

I should fix that.

They exist, search for "ductless HRV."

They're simply a small fan that reverses every few minutes and a heat storage material. They also have wireless ones that coordinate the fan direction between them.
So what should he have done? Small claims court?
> On my MacBook M3, Windows doesn't work. Similarly on my Chromebook too.

I mean, if it isn't a supported platform that's hardly the operating systems fault. However there are plenty of systems that do have drivers and are supported.

The original quote was that the best supported is WSL, and that is not true.
Some smartwatches/fitness trackers have had the battery in the band - such as the Microsoft Band.

It seemed to result in a fairly thick and inflexible strap, with limited length adjustment. It was generally panned by reviewers for its bulk, although a microsoft-loving large-wristed friend of mine reported it was just fine.
Yeah, the main difference between Amazon UK and eBay UK is that Amazon's unbranded Alibaba shit is more painful to search through and costs 30-50% more...
I (Gen X) actually do agree with the recycled argument: eg most police procedurals would be just as good, or even better, without the gratuitous romantic interest character(s).

(A friend of mine once explained soap operas as: people are so addicted to poking their noses in the sex lives of others that they voluntarily watch shows devoted to the sex lives of fictional others)
Honestly the last 10 years of software made scaling in terms of serving requests easy, such feats are common. Real hurdles come with spammers, moderation, support.
Good point, and good feature.

If I'm to believe this bug report [1], KDE actually offers throttling charge, but I suspect the Linux kernel lacks support for this kind of stuff for many laptops, maybe also because sometimes the laptop itself does not support this.

Apparently, one should be able to see these files on a supported laptop:

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_start_threshold
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_stop_threshold

I don't have them on the HP EliteBook G6 laptop I'm currently using.

But thanks for reminding me this. I was considering using an original PinePhone as a Bluetooth receiver. Unfortunately, Wifi and Bluetooth require a battery to be present in this phone and I was a bit concerned leaving it plugged in at all times. I'll need to check if the kernel the hardware and support this. Still a bit concerned that the battery will be wearing out fast, I'm afraid Bluetooth will be using the battery power even if the phone is plugged, which is a bummer.
It should not be legal to sell lights with such flicker, and certainly not be legal to have such lights displayed to the public.
Netflix and Discord don't tease people with content that appears to be available until you click anywhere near them and get all the black patterns vomited out over you.

Google Image search is almost useless if you don't block out crap sites like this.
Although I like to shop at Uniqlo, I have to say, this is not unique to them. In fact, I saw it first at Decathlon here in UK, before Uniqlo introduced theirs.
How is that better than just checking against a list of suburb names?

Unclogged a toilet once by lifting the seat, wrapping its bowl in kitchen plastic wrap and then using the resulting "membrane" to pump enclosed air volume down the drain. To my complete astonishment it worked on a second try!
I had the displeasure to see the "remastered" version of Terminator 2: Judgment Day yesterday. I could not stomach it after 30 minutes. I had to dig around the internet an old DVD rip from 2000's of it to "wash out" my brain of the horror that remastered version inflicted upon my mind.
There are HiDPI displays on the top end models of pretty much every major manufacturer. They do command a premium however.
General taxation. The generation currently working pays for the education of the next generation. Society prospers, economically and socially, as a result
I mean, if you say you’ll pay someone something under certain conditions, they meet the conditions, and you don’t pay, er, there’s no complexity there. Particularly if you are a company.
I don’t have strong feelings on the opinions in the blog post, but I wanted to praise the author’s writing. This is a topic that I personally don’t think about it or really have an interest in, but this is the first article like that which I have read to the end in a while. The title grabbed me and the rest held me in. Well written.
That seems to only be a slide deck. An article is vastly more useful
Before I joined in late 2013, they had not known how to run schema change without downtime. Once we fixed the kernel the db’s were nearly completely untaxed in terms of performance. They did however need large instances due to disk usage.
A clear example of why you should own your data. Sadly, the prevailing sentiment even here on hn is "but apple's ecosystem is soo pretty".
I presumed. I have only seem/signed 1-2 years as well.
Don't watch Terminator 2, the remastered version that just hit the internet. It's horrible. Read my other comment here on this thread.
Yeah, but the concept of double buffering is to swap every frame, for performance gains.

Here nothing gets swapped, and just temporary the screen gets hidden. So vaguely similar ... but not very much the same in my opinion.
Huh, shouldn't the save have vanished without power from the battery? My Pokémon gold save was already gone in 2018ish when I stumbled upon the cartridge plus gba, but then again that game contains an rtc, so higher power draw I guess.

Edit: got it, you helpfully left some batteries in the Gameboy for future you; you're not talking about opening the cartridge..
> During the layoffs, I've seen some commenters here express that any agreements were to the previous owners and since Musk is a new owner taking over the company, those previous agreements are no longer valid

Those commenters were, at best, extremely confused. This isn’t feudalism; their contracts are with the _company_, not the ‘owner’.
