Oh I'm not at all pretending there's an equivalence between a personal coach that delivers you anywhere you want to go and a coarse, generic mass transit system that's relatively indifferent to your destination. I'm saying that no one at all is saying that every American (let alone anyone in the world) will have such service. This stuff is 100% marketed to upper class people. Waymo is entirely an Uber-class service, meaning that only the top 3% of people worldwide can even conceive of ever experiencing it, let alone having it be their daily experience. And for what, not having to take a bus and walk a little after taking a train? I'm trying really hard to come up with something more bourgeoisie than that, and I'm coming up with nothing.
You can also just get a used laptop that's 3-4 years old with 8-16gb of ram, and SSD, and some i7 or equivalent CPU for $300. They're insanely fast. Used laptops are dirt cheap. You can then just sell it after a few years and get another 3-year-old used one. Still great use of resources.

> Older computers almost always use more electricity than newer ones, I don't see how this is a real thing.

This computer is not on 24/7, but only very limited hours. So manufacturing a new one would a relatively high share.

Energy is the reason why I wrote ARM would probably be even better. But the Atom is pretty good too. The machine is fanless and when it was new the battery lasted nearly 7 hours (not for watching videos of course). Now that it's pretty old and still on it's first battery it still lasts several hours. Enough to read some news and do some trip planning.
There kind of is a community, but it's hard to say. Long ago in the earlier days of BB and B3D we had great community support because (a) most of us were on the official blitzresearch servers and (b) many of us were on blitzcoder.co.uk because of some of the problems at the official servers.

I'm still friends with many of the prolific creators on Facebook in that space.

It was FOSS'd in the later years, which is great, but it doesn't really solve many of the problems or make it easier to work with BlitzBasic code for most people. Some of us spent some time on some translation layer-like technologies with the main goal usually being someone can run a `.bb` file in the browser having it auto-transpiled into a bastardized version of Ecmascript running WebGL.
I'm a long time reader of HN as well (to put it mildly). I think we just naturally pay more attention that things that are relevant to us so it seems like Israel is discussed more.

That said, I tried to prove you wrong by searching for stories featuring the word "Ukraine" and "Israel". There's only one story featuring Israel. But then I realized I was making a mistake and searched for "Gaza" as well, and found far more stories.

So, it's kind of hard to say from this quick check, but maybe you're right. That said, I think you're right that HN just reflects the fact that Israel/Palestine is just a far more interesting topic to many people, and especially to people of the US.
It’s missing a step or two. Once you’ve selected your identifying provider, the user is redirected to it, identify itself and select there the claims he’s willing to share (most of the time only what’s needed for authorization). The identifying provider generate the proper token and claims, return them with the user to the third party site. Who can then authorize or not the identified user and return the user.

This exchange of data and redirection is the core of the oauth.
I always love saying that the Dutch coast is defended by a robot with arms the size of the Eiffel Tower.

It's true! That's how big those arms are, and it's completely automated.
Ask HN: Why Debian and Ubuntu make Apache config so complicated and split up?
In upstream Apache httpd and most other distros Apache configuration is so simple, with few files and a simple directory structure for its configuration.

Meanwhile, in Debian and its derivatives, we got it split into many files and directories, with a whole system of symlinks and helpers that exist only in Debian, like a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf.

I've even seen people calling this a "Debianism".

Why does Debian make such change to the structure of upstream Apache config? I'm sure there must be good reasons and/or historical reasons for that, with a rationale buried in a mailing list post from 2 decades ago, but I can't seem to find it.

What are the reasons for Debian to change the upstream config structure of the Apache server?
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805789824743.html is neat, but has limited configuration options.

They own half of a market sure, but that is not in question in your statements. In the market of music streaming services available for iOS phones, they used their platform owner position as the manufacturer of iPhones to give themselves a competitive boost in music streaming services.
My favorite app on oculus store was designed for nursing home people i think, alcove. It's free too. I wondered if there were actually people using it in those situations and I'm glad to see there are and people's lives are improved.
I'll switch to FF when they let the scrollbars be styled properly so my got-damn apps don't look like got-damn 1999 with those ugly ass scroll gutters.

Between that and the embed situation FF is clearly engaged in some sorta self-sabotage cycle.

Jax has turned out to be what I expected Julia to be. Write textbook-like numerical code and get good performance because the compiler is smart.

Maybe Julia is so focused on performance that the user experience suffers. Jax (on CPU for non-ML) feels like 80% performance for 20% work, while Julia would be 100% for 100%.
Outsource to the cheapest bidder.

You know the type, that without question mechanically implements exactly what is written in the specification, no matter how wrong it is, technically or morally. If you are lucky that is, and not only get back a steaming pile of bugs.

The bugs in the date checking hints this wasn’t written by the sharpest guy in the room, unless it was deliberately made confusing, to not be easily pattern detected.

Interesting that you mention about binary size and AoT compilation. I just saw a video from Jeff Bezanson - What's the deal with Julia binary sizes? Might of some interest. Large reduction in binary sizes from back in the day.

I find it very hard to believe someone could use GNU for 15 years and not stumble across info pages.

I guess my point is: if you’re mad at this but still support capitalism you’re being inconsistent. The only possible fix for this is government action, and capitalism has led to regulatory capture which means we get basically 0 government action

EDIT: this is disregarding the “everyone boycott display ads companies and we’ll kill the industry with the invisible hand of the market” but I don’t have a ton of faith in that one

Why would traffic actually be slower? Have you driven much in busy cities? Usually in California for example, when traffic conditions allow such, the actual advice given in things like drivers ed is to keep with the flow of traffic including in situations like freeway driving where traffic might be going much faster than the posted speed limit. Certainly ai might drive slower in places flagged as actually necessitating it, but if anything I'd think the advantage of a fleet of ai drivers is that cars could go even faster than before because suddenly there's nobody stubbornly slowing a lane down unnecessarily out of either panic or simply obstinance that they're in the right because they're going the posted speed limit.
that only solves half the problems I mentioned... :)
Our aesthetic and moral models in our brains define what we consider to be a "cancer" soo.. What does that even mean. I'm pro keeping the world beautiful and rich and fulfilling to human thriving, but I also feel as an objective part of life that if we all just die and a new cycle starts then it is what it is. Life just started making oxygen and killed almost every organism alive once so it's kind of just a thing that can happen I guess. We'll see if we're capable of stopping it from happening again.
Ask HN: RPMs or DEBs? Which is easier for devs to package their apps?
In your experience packaging applications, is it easier to create RPMs or DEBs? What makes one easier or the other more complicated? What about the documentation and associated tools for creating the packages?

Is there one easier and simpler than the other or are both complicated beasts?

IMHO that's just the "plausible deniability" excuse --- look at the evidence presented there in a bit more detail, and you'll see it starts leaning towards being deliberate. The only "calibration" is the serial number. If these Polish hackers find code that effectively does "if serial doesn't match, slightly perturb the points", it would be certain.
I am a straight white male and for 22 years of career I have never, not once, received profits and dividends as a working programmer.

Do with that info what you will.

My resentment stems from the fact that I have witnessed people being hired with 3x more lenient interviews and end up doing 5-10% of what I do while being paid 80-90% of the money. Of course I will resent that. Every working person would be resentful of that.

Scholar Inbox – An ArXiv paper recommenation system
We just released Scholar Inbox as part of my PhD.

It is a research paper recommendation system, which downloads the daily arXiv.org research papers and then makes personalised recommendations to the user.

You name some authors that you like, including yourself, and upvote their most interesting papers. Then the system starts recommending papers to you. You can +/- vote papers which further trains the system. Finally, you choose how often you would like to receive a summary email, listing your top recommendations. If you don't want the summary email, you can just visit the site and it will aggregate and rank all papers that you missed since your last visit.

Very much depends on what you are working on. What SaaS is ever stopped being developed and doesn’t need ownership after 2-3 years? Products with embedded software might ship in 2-3 years but many still need bug fixes and new features long after that so therefore needs ownership.
Not at all. It’s common to have nested data, it can be quite simple, but still nested. Think: config objects, simple state objects. I want my functions to be pure. Instead of modifying the nested object, they should return a modified deep copy.
And the joke’s in the fact that Nostr is not even blockchain based. It’s basically Bitcoin devs’ response to the whole Web3 thing demonstrating that you don’t need a blockchain and a shitcoin to have a decentralized, permission-less, censorship resistant social network.
iPhone alone is used by about 60% of the population, which is about 198 million people out of the 331 million who live here.

This is assuming every person has a phone, which they don't. Looks like that metric is about 85% of the population. If you factor that in, it's about 160 million iOS users. Is it less than 200 million, yes. But "couple hundred million" sufficiently implies an estimation.

And this is just looking at iPhones, not factoring in users who use iPads or anything else.
If I remember right, the design philosophy around why Tailwind encourages you to write all the different classes out individually each time is that it wants you to reuse components rather than CSS classes because as the codebase scales and gets more complex you now know that any changes are only going to affect that component and not that component + whatever dev decided to use that custom class you made somewhere else. The other issue it solves is loads of devs making custom classes that are almost identical and cluttering up the codebase. If you're working on personal projects and know you're only ever going to need to change those three things about buttons then this is probably a great thing to use but be aware that if you're creating a commercial project and may have lots of people working on it, this is probably not the way to to go. I will see if I can find the exact part of the tailscale docs where they go into this and update this comment with the link later.

Edit:
The core concepts section is worth a read in it's entirety but I believe this is the relative part:

You really can't fault stores for selling a placebo if people keep buying it. The real question is why do people keep buying it?

This is a problem of knowledge, and a problem of trust. People have been generally ignorant about the ineffectiveness of phenylephrine, because most people have enough trust in their pharmacy that they would not expect the entire "decongestants" section at the store to be 100% snake oil. But our pharmacies sold us snake oil, did it for decades, and FDA backed them up on it. And we ate it up like innocent puppies.

I don't think this means capitalism is broken, and I don't think it means people are so stupid that we're doomed, and I don't think it means we need government intervention at every step.

But we shouldn't let this one slide by. We shouldn't let the pharmacies the ignorance card: they knew they were selling us a placebo. How many other products fall into this pattern? We should all think about taking a take a step back and performing a trust audit on our pharmacies.

Personally, I suspect we won't always have to keep facing this problem of never knowing which suppliers are trustworthy. I suspect there's something missing. I don't know what it is: an app, like a peer review app? A website? A law? A non-profit research group? A revolution? A man can have hope.
Fascist country neurodivergent resident: what OP said about neurotypical oppression absolutely happens and on a wide scale.

Google is an advertising company that only makes money with the shitty part of the internet which is why that part is expanding.

The chrome plated gmail cohorts have been educated to read for free and publish for compensation. They need a shitty internet to thrive, post and "make something awesome" in.

The shitty internet is doing fine and raising the participants it needs.

The free internet is indestructible and made by people who care. And of course it belongs to the minority.
I just did a deep dive into this (pun intended). The name appears to date back well over a decade (probably longer) and has roots in lower-level browser APIs like the implementation of `postMessage`.

> Structured cloning algorithm defines the semantics of copying a well-defined subset of ECMAScript objects between Code Realms. This algorithm is extensible by host enviroment to support cloning of host objects.

https://github.com/dslomov/ecmascript-structured-clone

Eventually, in 2015, it was suggested to expose the `structuredClone` algorithm as an API:

> Has anyone ever proposed exposing the structured clone algorithm directly
as an API? Katelyn Gadd was musing about fast deep copy in JS on Twitter,
and I proposed a hack to use postMessage to do so[1], which works but it's
a little roundabout. Since structured clone is a primitive that the web
platform is built on it seems like a primitive that ought to be exposed. I
know this exists in other languages (Python has copy.deepcopy[2]) and
there's an npm "deepcopy" module[3] with lots of downloads so this is
clearly something people use.

yeah this is relatively bizarre, I can't figure it out either
I guess that's not a bug but a feature, it has to do that to be able to handle some situations (e.g. a week where all days have more contributions than the "level" it's currently eating would block it from getting to the other side of the "playfield"). Still, there probably are some situations where it can't reach all the dots?
> The reality is that cars are freedom

You are not allowed to run a small business out of your house in US, so i dont think you have any freedom.

Private jets are freedom. like actual freedom.
To be more specific, "Wikimedia RU" was dissolved. I remember when they opened a legal entity, the lawyer said that one should not use the word "Russia" in the name of the company, as this requires permission from the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. Such permission can be obtained by a company that has branches and/or representative offices in more than half of the subjects of the Russian Federation, or belongs to the largest taxpayer, or more than 25% of shares (stakes) of which are owned by the state.

Wikimedia RU does not fall under these categories. In fact, it was a non-profit organization completely independent of Wikimedia, run by individual enthusiasts, sometimes not even interested in editing Wikipedia. However, Wikimedia did recognize the merits of this Russian company to some extent (in particular, it did not hinder fundraising for offline events and did not require reports).
This has definitely caught my attention. The fact that it's a web app that allows me to self-host it makes this a strong contender against Obsidian.
Looks great too!

Yes, that's why cherry-picking a Honda Civic reaching 200K miles is an outlier which does not provide insight on the average vehicle operating cost per mile.

It's also bad math to say the only cost to driving 383 miles is the fuel.

If you would believe talldatethrow's math, you should get a job driving your car for a CA state job. You would get reimbursed $0.625 /mile for something which costs you no more than $100/383 miles = $0.26/mile.

The extra $0.37/mile at 30 mph is an extra $10/hour of income.

I don't think the government is really that generous, do you?
This is conflating two issues identified with Microsoft's practices during this time. Both of which got them in trouble. Microsoft abused it's dominant position in the PC OS market to (A) lock out competition in the OS market and (B) gain footholds in other markets and extinguish competition (such as for the web browser market).

It's a strained argument to say that if they hadn't have put the OEM agreements in place that they would've been completely unchecked by the antitrust authorities in the browser market.

FWIW, I've tried to understand this better, and have thrown together a quick test:
https://github.com/hannob/smtpsmug

This is very much work in progress, and not documented yet. But it does detect the postfix issue.
For monitor I just look for screens with 87-94 PPI, for to avoid to scaling. Therefore the size of the monitor for me is determined by the combination of inches and resolution, what gives me centimeters of the screen.

5:4 1280x1024 19" ( 37.68cm × 30.15cm ) 86.27 PPI
16:9 1920x1080 25" ( 55.35cm × 31.13cm ) 88.12 PPI
16:10 1920x1200 24" ( 51.69cm × 32.31cm ) 94.34 PPI
16:9 2560x1440 30" ( 66.41cm × 37.36cm ) 97.91 PPI
16:9 2560x1440 32" ( 70.84cm × 39.85cm ) 91.79 PPI
16:10 2560x1600 30" ( 64.62cm × 40.39cm ) 100.63 PPI
16:9 3840x2160 46" (101.83cm × 57.28cm ) 95.78 PPI

People that are used to higher PPI may think those PPI have screen-door (to see the pixel), but for me this only uncomfortable if I see a 81 PPI monitor (16:9 1920x1080 27" [59.77cm × 33.62cm] ) at 45cm of distance. Anyway, I just want the sharpness and uniformity that only comes from not scaling either by the monitor or the operating system.

My ideal may be a 16:10, and better a 5:4, with 40cm of height and around 87-89 PPI, nevertheless the monitors with 16:10 aspect ratio use old generations panels what make me to discard them, IPS and VA ghosting. And TN doesn't exist there (at that size the angles limitation of TN would be an issue anyway, nevertheless for 1280x1024 19" is perfect). The modern panels are only under 16:9 aspect ratio.

Unfortunately for me I do not like the 16:9 aspect ratio for monitors due if it is small I'm losing visual space top and down like if it were a letter box, and if the monitor is big it forces to move the head much.

The matter is, I think the marketing of 2K, 4K, 8K is secondary, without knowing the panel size and the distance from what will be viewed firstly. So I usually recommend to do a table with the PPI predilection and width-height preferences. The one I use for to search monitors have the lines of text that gives the panel height with the font size I use more.

> The 4k43 is glorious for games and for fusion360

That gives a reference, 16:9 3840x2160 43" ( 95.19cm × 53.55cm ) 102.46 PPI

Maybe you see this from 65-90cm of distance, at least, due the width, case contrary you would have to move the head and even the body, what makes the fonts look tinny.

I guess the panel manufacturers introduced 16:9 as monitors -stopped developing panels with aspect ratios for computer monitors better said- for to avoid to have two lines of panels, computer monitors and TVs. Mere guessing.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. However, the challenge is that I hail from India, and here, getting a job as a fresher in data science is a little difficult. Most companies prefer candidates with experience unless they are from a "top-tier university", which I am not :/. So, I need to learn the basics from each domain. But, I am scared that by doing this, I might become a jack of all trades and master of none lol. Any advice on this?

Feels like Mormons might be a good group to go after. They seem like they have more of an in group vibe than other contemporary sects, and in-groupier groups probably help one another more freely and more often. Their stories are kooky but I think they aren’t anti tech at all. Localized to specific areas as well.
