Agree with these. I was a dev at a retailer that did catalog/phone sales and was starting to use web. Small salary, small PTO, no benefits. Pay increased when the business had an existential crisis and came to rely much more heavily on tech. Next was software consulting company churning out sites designed by marketing agencies, billed to the 15 min. Small salary, small PTO, some benefits. Then I went into SaaS (startup, then a public company). Nice salary + stock, great PTO, great benefits.

Aside from the comp/PTO/benefits, I learned that consulting isn't for me. The client interactions felt... adversarial, where they were trying to get more work for less money, while we were doing the opposite. I did not like that constant tension in conversations.

Some people like to say that there's no real world application for blockchain. It seems like this might be a good example of one. If they can't do atomicity right, force them to use the blockchain-level encoding of the transactions.
Is there something about tape HW itself that’s inherently complex and expensive? Or is it just that the target market is enterprise and so the manufacturers are able to price discriminate more effectively?

Regardless, I doubt tape is a good consumer solution because it’s primarily for archival. That means that retrieving data is super slow (average seek time is ~1 minute). On the other hand, given that’s for an 18TiB cartridge, you might be able to cut that drastically by using less capacity. So it would be interesting if someone attempted a consumer play with tape, I just don’t know what the business model would look like since most customers rely on the cloud for archival to offload the technical and physical maintenance parts of the problem.
There probably isn't an actual reason other than "nice round number," but this could conceivably be something like a typical time to expect 50% of a corporate organization to have turned over. 100 years would be guaranteed 100% turnover, including ownership, and likely 99% of organizations don't even exist that long. At that point, it may as well just never automatically expire.

Small shops next to large banks almost never get robbed - convenience stores in a neighborhood that cops tend to ignore... that's a different story. Most of the world's oceans are pretty thoroughly patrolled so if the risk is the same you might as well go after the bank.
That's awesome and really impressive. The pen is a real workhorse. I will say the Vanishing Point LS or something, the more expensive variant, is not as reliable, as my twist mechanism on that gradually got stuck.
So that would affect people who are anti-vaccination (believe it's a curse) and got it anyway?

Sakura figma series glide well, and are what I settled upon. But I needed to go down a few steps of tip size to 0.2mm to achieve the same line width as my previous favourite of pilot v5 hi-techpoint.
nearly but not quite - you can deliberately 'collide' when there is no data you need to keep going forward (the obvious example being when you end on a '\r' character). This is necessary to keep an upper bound on the state space.

Remember that in the extreme, a state could mean "city A, temp zero, city b" - "0\rB" so it isn't a direct mapping from state machine state to city.
Per unit bandwidth, satellites are very expensive boxes of electronics, and need to be replaced more often. And we already have very extensive wire networks.

Satellites are cheaper per square mile, but they can only provide a sliver of service when they're covering such a large range.

If satellites were competitive anywhere with moderate density, a simple extra-big tower would be even more competitive. But we need more than that to split up users into smaller groups.
Lost in Translation: What's Japan's Deal?
I agree in general, but disagree those are the same thing.

Agree, the average stop is not 2 minutes even with a car, it's not what I was saying. I'm saying that quite often, though, it is really only 2 minutes, and in my opinion, in those scenarios having to deal with a 20 min forced wait time is annoying, and people insisting that "having a nice meal next to the Supercharger" is a valid counterargument is annoying.

Sure, if EVs work out for you, that's awesome, but let's not pretend that the 20 minutes wait time cannot be a disadvantage for some people.
Well my brother worked in BNY Mellon India center. They have thousands of people and work core banking processing. BofA have their own India development center with thousands of employees. And this is outside of 10s of thousands outsourced to Tata, Infy etc.

You think core banking process like transfers/ trading is some kinda crown jewel. It may be in terms of messaging but most of core IT part is just a cost center.

Customer data and all need to be in their own secure data centers for legal reasons but all the processes can be designed, developed and executed from anywhere at lower cost.
That's the primary issue. It's not the medium it's that you don't own it and it can be taken away.

Right now you can buy 50m USB3 cables made of 'Active Optical Cable' which is a fiber data link with two copper wires for power.

Options start at ~$100 for 50m https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004105594973.html and prices go up to https://www.lindy.co.uk/cables-adapters-c1/usb-c449/50m-hybr... - not cheap, but considering how few they probably sell and that you're getting a special custom type of cable, kinda affordable.
They were even better when they were first released, in the eighties if I remember correctly. I think they miss the top lists because they've been superseded by fancier Uni-ball pens.
With coverage guided fuzzing you wont get into the deep states of such protocols. If it's TCP/IP or TLS or similar. You'd really need a client/server simulator, and fuzz this.

Anyways, I'm not going to debate any further. It works for me :) If you want to keep writing code the way you have, go for it.
Are you planning on adding documentation / a mechanism for running a prompt using the code this installs?

As far as I can tell at the moment it clones one of the various repos for you and downloads some model writes, but it doesn't yet help you compile and run the code.
It's certainly plausible.

I switched to a CAT-S22 flip phone and haven't looked back.
It's android so it's good enough for calls, WhatsApp, maps, etc. But it's impossible to get sucked into "scrolling" on it. For everything else I have a tablet. It basically does all the things but unlike a phone, I have to be a little bit more intentional when I reach for it since it takes both hands, which is great way to prevent doom scrolling.

I think the next step might be to get a tablet that can work as a phone as my "base" and get a smartwatch for everything else.

I think self-control can only take you so far. Yeah you can use it to break a phone addiction, but it doesn't feel good. The way you feel when you don't have the option is way different.
I would also add career longevity and security. I work at a number 3, I wrote and maintain all the logistics stuff. Every product they sell goes through my code to package parts, put it together and get it out the door. Average time working here is measured in decades not years. It would take a new person roughly a year to figure out what's going on. It's incredibly complicated cash cow that complies with a slew of national and international regulations related to health care. I know more than I ever want to about HIPAA, international equivalents and transportation of hazardous and infections goods.

I wouldn't mind switching to #1 and doubling my paycheck but for now I could float here until I die, and many do.
If anyone remembers the Kingdome in Seattle, surfing the lead up to demolition someone ran pictures of the original proposal. The artist rendering was a white building, that looked okay, maybe even good.

What Seattle got was raw concrete. Pseudo brutalist. That building was an ugly piece of shit the day it opened, and it just got uglier every day after. To paraphrase Office Space, every time you saw the Kingdome, it was the ugliest it had ever been.

What they replaced it with has changed names a couple times but is a decent building. And the Mariner’s stadium has actual brick on it, but due to budget problems only on the side that faces away from most commuters.

It seems like the artists’ drawings for some buildings, especially the simple ones, can end up lying quite a bit. I get the same vibe from the building in the parent comment. I bet the proposal was exactly the same shape as what they build but the facade was rendered much differently.

Open trackers like this don't distribute the torrent files themselves-- all they do is help you find the swarm for a torrent given a hash as input.

A magnet hash is little more than a hex-encoded infohash along with a few trackers to use for coordination and a filename wrapped in a URI, so DNS TXT wouldn't provide much compression (~30B DNS record to ~200B magnet URI).

Given an infohash, a torrent client has to find a swarm member (or DHT) to download the full torrent metadata.
Honestly it probably only helps installation costs, and not by much. There are no code issues with running standard direct bury copper in the same trench as direct bury fiber, nor are there any code issues (iirc, I am not an electrician) with running them in the same conduit even. Plain direct bury OS2 and 12/2 or 12/3 copper is dirt cheap and the fancy cable they use for generators that has 12/3 plus additional current sense conductors isn't that much more expensive.

But linking directly to the video would mean less traffic to the verge and make it easier for viewers to subscribe to the video creator on youtube (who has a lot of other interesting videos, about fridges and cameras and photography, video, etc... ). Why would the verge want that? :)
Tape would be perfect because people don't tend to skip through movies to random points. At least I don't.
Yeah I probably wasn't clear in that I meant I'm not aware of any legal basis for saying that requiring ADS-B for private/commercial air traffic is wrong. For example operating a 172 is not a constitutional right so tracking you while you do isn't isn't necessarily a violation of any particular right.

I think it's wrong that the government exempts themselves from it if they're going to require it of everyone else, but that's so far down my list of grievances with the government it's barely worth thinking about :)

I wish people would stop talking about this sort of thing. It is driving the price up! It is truly impressive to have toast knowing that everything is being handled mechanically.
I've seen the same issue with instructions for how to configure Keycloak as an OIDC provider - given Keycloak has so many options (some of which might well be security significant), you'd almost want a step by step explicit statement of what every setting should be, to get to a tested, validated and secure configuration.

Which flow and service/grant etc seems to matter a lot, and be a good example where you'd want a very clear playbook of step by step instructions that you can hand off to someone else to unambiguously follow.

For more context, an SFP+ 10G LR 10km module is Class 1 (completely harmless during normal use).

Same with a 100G LR4 type module.

The ZR type modules that run 100+km are also Class 1.

Pretty much any optical module you plug into a router or a switch is Class 1.

Where you should definitely be cautious is:

- Around optical amplifiers, where things can get into Class 2 and 3.

- DWDM setups where each module may be a Class 1, but the sum of their light adds up into something harmful.
The TWSBI is a great fountain pen. I am disappointed to not find Muji 0.5mm capped rollerballs on there.

Show HN: Flyleaf: "Read-later" app for iOS and macOS
Hi everyone, I'm an indie developer based in germany and I built my own take on a read-later app for iPhone, iPad and macOS.

The main reason I built this is because I love to read stuff one page at a time (like an ebook) instead of having to constantly scroll vertically, and no apps I could find offer this reliably, especially on the Mac.

The app is built 100% with Swift and 95% SwiftUI.

It's not quite ready for prime time yet, but you can take the Testflight beta for a spin, if thats your thing.

But regardless, I'm interested in your opinion on book-like page by page reading versus continuous vertical scrolling. Is that something that matters to other people?
One of my earliest memories is of a 'giant' snake-like worm. It turns out it was a slow worm at about their full size, 50cm long, when I was a toddler.

Most power in a computer is spent on a bus.
Most power within CPU is spent on internal bus and memory access.
This interconnect between framebuffer and accelerator would limit the speed and eat lots of power, unless the framebuffer would be replicated by GPU during rendering.

That is why GPUs normally have a small part that serves as framebuffer, but memory bus is shared with the accelerator that needs it most. Cheaper to reuse the expensive part.

My friend, you owe it to yourself to try Platinum Carbon Black ink. More permanent and waterproof than Noodlers, and a black so dark and dense you'll think you can see the end of the void in it.

Ignore the haters who claim pigmented ink wrecks your pens--both my wife and I have drawn miles of lines with it, and even leaving it sitting on the desk unused for weeks, we never have a problem with it.
For a very long time it has been pretty certain that oxygenic photosynthesis must be much older than these new fossils, perhaps even one billion years older.

However the evidence has been indirect, due to the increase in abundance of certain oxidized minerals in the more recent rocks.

This new research has shown direct evidence, i.e. fossils that appear to be Cyanobacteria of a kind known to be able of performing oxygenic photosynthesis.
Agreed. I use them constantly across sublime, textareas in the browser, discord, random app dialogs, etc.

Off the shelf kits exist. There are also people who specialize in installing them. I think these kits don't take off because the people who are car nuts do some research about what type of performance can be expected from a conversion, and they conclude it would make the car worse overall. Worse performance, worse resale value.

Classic cars are only possible to collect at all because of a lower level of proprietary crap than new cars. If you convert a perfectly working classic car, you're throwing away whatever engineering goodness is inside it to install some inferior bespoke and likely proprietary system. You will probably have to cause permanent damage to the original frame and body of the car. What you end up with is a weird combination that could malfunction in some circumstances, and has inferior range and resale value.
Just because something is not completely specified does not mean it is nonsense.

There’s definitely a lot to learn from Roblox! The first thing they got right was to make it many orders of magnitude simpler to make games than the incumbents of the time, that’s why it was so easy for Roblox to get many fun games on their platform and build an audience. This is also why we're emphasizing leaning into an AI native approach to have a unique advantage to making creation easier. Following that, as you say, enabling monetization on a browser based platform will be a necessary later step to keep creators incentivized. I think there’s no technical constraint to making monetization possible on our platform, so we are just not choosing to focus on this first because if we can show that the creation experience is far better on our platform, then it will bring a lot more users into it to make the platform even more attractive for creators.

Our belief is also that there’s no platform currently that makes it easy to deploy agent based games, where AI characters and dynamic AI agents are used in game. Given how popular even some basic AI character games are (look at the usage of Character AI!!), if we make such games easier to create, I trust that creators will be able to make very popular games. We’ve been having live game jams biweekly on our discord (next one next week!) and already see some magic being made, even in the closed beta!
