jacking up the prices for parking spaces due to artificially induced scarcity will mean that cars are still every bit as essential to get around, but now only the wealthy will be able to afford to park them, screwing over the population least able to arrange/afford alternatives. I guess it's somehow better if the increasing number of poors in the US have to park miles away from their jobs (if they're lucky enough) and have to walk/run the rest of the way.

Like it or not, our cities are already built to make cars a necessity and pricing people out of access to the majority of places within a city isn't a solution to the design of public transportation or roads.
I did something similar that I hand wrote but it's different verses from the Bible whenever I cd into my main working location. It helps me memorize verses slowly over time and it's not too intrusive though occasionally I'll disable it before pair programming on something with a colleague since it feels inappropriate at work to force someone else to put up with it if they have qualms about it.
Over the years they have dropped support for a number of platforms[1], but they don't do it based on "popularity" but more whether there are developers (with hardware available) who are interested in working on it.

Show HN: Customize your right-click menu with your own commands
Hi, HN! Excited to share a Chrome Extension I've been working on in my spare time. In short, it lets you create your own right-click menu commands that are executed by GPT-4. There are a few built-in commands for common tasks like summarization and correcting text, but my hope is that people get creative and customize it with their own, more tailored commands.

The idea came from one of those recipe websites with pages of SEO filler content and ads everywhere. I ended up copying/pasting the full text of a recipe into ChatGPT with a prompt like "Extract a list of ingredients and cooking instructions from this recipe" and GPT did a great job distilling that content. Figured it'd be a great use case for a Chrome Extension so that I could run that command without the copy/paste step. Of course, now you can make all kinds of commands (not just cooking ones) but I still use the original recipe one pretty regularly! Hope you find it useful, too!

That's a fantastic way to deprive yourself of the things you like for no gain whatsoever. Voting with our wallets got us to where we are today.

People are already voting with their wallets and they're overwhelmingly voting for more exploitation, partially "helped" by the manipulation systematically employed in the industry that's already worked wonders for classic gambling.
And Valve investing in Linux gaming had nothing to do with the size of the target audience - luckily for us.
Reminds me of componentized jQuery. It appears this has you have to once again apply DOM patches manually; hopefully you implement that correctly every place you update the state.
> but I don't think historical backend web devs have migrated to react.

Really? Back in the day, myself and my peers weren't "backend web devs" we were just web devs. Stuff started shifting to the frontend and we all learned Backbone, Angular, React, etc because that's the way the industry went. I think a LOT of us migrated to React, maybe not completely, but who can call themselves a web developer these days without at least some experience with FE frameworks?

I am sure that in their opinion this is more than enough to prove that they are serious and trustworthy.
In the case of an outright revolution you're mostly correct, although i would argue that having guns legal and prevalent before the revolution makes it much much easier for them to be bought out of a van in an alley. If guns were illegal beforehand then the van method requires either making them, which is usually subpar, or smuggling them in from another country, which is risky. Having a large number of them locally available and just around means they can be easily repurposed or acquired.

Also, i'm unsure what you mean by "Nobody is going to fight the government using legally bought guns". One of the points of US gun ownership is that there is no easily accessible database of who owns guns. So once you own a gun legally you can then use it in the revolution.

However, there is an advantage to having guns even in the case of non-revolutions! Ruby Ridge is a perfect example of the use of guns to prevent future government overreach. The outcomes there have instilled a years long fear in government agents of going out to seize weapons from citizens.
If NL does supply China, the US and other allies may reduce / withdraw support and / or trade; this isn't just trade, this is international relationships, and for the moment, the relationship with the US is more important than that with China.
I am genuinely convinced that people who think llms are intelligent and rely on them for everything are idiots.
Being in Rochester, I always wonder how this will affect the local community here, where the Xerox was founded and where the majority of its workforce still is [1]. Still, I'm surprised they announced this after the holidays. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse, or even says anything about the company itself, but it doesn't seem like the norm of other larger technology companies.

It also sucks to save vacation time and perform work around the holidays when you could instead have extended time to spend with family.
Do you believe it would be a better decision to spend 24 times more on every actuator?

A key reason SpaceX matters at all is that it can launch things into space at a fraction of what it costs NASA, Russia, China or any other rival to.
I want to believe. I really do.
have you tried librewolf recently? I've been using it for 3-4 months just to get off chrome based stuff and I have been pretty impressed. It mostly works better than chrome and at least as well as brave for all the stuff I have thrown at it (I like the tabs better, I really like the container tabs option so I can stuff the spyware.. err social media in a very isolated framework), I really like that all the extensions I was using on chrome/brave work in librewolf or have better options. My only annoyance so far is bitwarden behaves weirdly in private windows and that's very minor.
Worse: it was voted for, but the costs have now spiralled while the proposed service has plummeted.
I'm not sure why you are being downvoted.

The reason people keep buying cars after prices rise 57% in a decade: the extra $10,000 amortized over 10 years is less than living even 1 year near the things you drive to. Things you drive to includes your parking space!

It doesn't make any sense to own a car and live in a dense urban development. What more needs to be said? Live in the suburbs if you have a car.

Fortunately bridge and toll community members are insensitive to these changes. They see no problems with 2 hours of schlepping, $16 of tolls and $25 parking to drink $0.50 of vodka priced at $17 at a downtown bar. If they were sensitive to these issues, that behavior would have ceased much sooner than a pandemic-induced shock to their routines.

That said, I don't see anything wrong with the suburban lifestyle, I am a product of it. Instead of focusing on issues like parking costs, which cities can never beat suburbs at because suburbs have essentially infinite land, cities should fix their education systems, because they can realistically beat suburbs on the concentration of human capital. My community would be far more appreciative of that than bullshit about parking spots.

this was a great read.
Right, TTgames has been doing this for years with their Lego games.
Of course it's not the distro's fault but they can improve its robustness making that failures during the process (like in the step #3 from your comment) are handled in a way so that the entire update is rolled back. I guess this is what niche distributions like NixOS try to ensure.

I must take issue with the labelling of European countries as sectarian at all. When you call someplace "a Catholic country" are we referring to an Established Church, to the faith of the majority of citizens, to a legacy culture, support for the hierarchy, what?

Because Ireland, Italy, Czechia are markedly diverse nations with pluralistic religions being represented, and those minorities are growing. The first two have a strong history of Catholicism and so as a religion, it's embedded in myriad aspects of common culture that can't be swept away as easily in a sex abuse scandal. Yet in these United States, we have many who will disavow our "Judeo-Christian roots" because of the disestablishmentarianism of our Founding Fathers and enshrined in our Constitution.

I think the real comparison would be Arab Muslim nations, which strive towards a "vertical integration" of religious faith, morality, ethnicity, linguistic heritage, culture, and all that. Such a monoculture can make for a powerful nation that is unmatched by even China, which is comparatively a beacon of D.E.I. I mean, everyone else in the world is literally attempting to reimplement Genesis 11.

Of course this is a fundamentally silly conversation to have, because the primary goal and aim of Christianity (or Islam or Confucianism or what have you) has never been to enrich the populace or put money in the nation's coffers; that's merely a desirable means to an end. I believe that the OP was alluding to some mythical "Protestant Work Ethic" ideal that is perhaps epitomized by the Amish/Mennonite way of reinventing cloistered monasteries around family units.
Your experiences are very different than mine then. I've been interviewing all December and no one was able to schedule for those weeks.
Iceland is an affluent western nation with its own language, but a population of less than 375,000 people - fewer people than many cities in other countries. And yet these people want books just as much as any other people - perhaps given the nation's culture even more so.

For supply (and selection) to keep up with demand, it requires a far higher percentage of the population to write.
Venemous snakes come in enough variety of types and sizes that most boots probably provide some partial protection. The venom of a baby rattlesnake for instance is much more potent than that of an adult; footware that can only stop small fangs would still be helpful.

Snakes are almost never aggressive though. A significant portion of snake bites happen to drunk people being stupid. The general guidance is to avoid putting your limbs anywhere you can't see and to leave snakes alone when you encounter them.
I came here to specifically look for this comment, and... well, the rest says a lot about HN ;)
This is true, I guess it's very dependent on the use you have for the machine. In my case i migrated from Ubuntu to arch on my work machine when I had a week off - obviously I needed it to work otherwise I would be in some trouble the following Monday.
If I recall correctly, NTFS updates a file's access time (or some such) every time anything happens to it, so by default Windows' file I/O is slow. (Antivirus, of course, will not be helping that.) Once upon a time you could disable access time updating in the registry, although I assume if you had those kind of permissions you wouldn't be having this problem.
Who claimed that?
> I’m sure in Asian countries the trains are fantastic but unfortunately public transit riders here aren’t adults and ruin it for everyone.

Not sure why you would turn an obviously systemic problem into one of personal responsibility. Do you think there are no mentally disabled or homeless people in other countries?

This attitude seems startlingly common in the US. It's like the pessimistic side of American Exceptionalism - "This problem, which many other countries have tackled successfully, cannot be fixed here".
Please remind the others in this thread of the same. Thank you. I apologize for my own behavior. It seems that this was only singled out to me for some reason.
A benchmark I would like to see is a comparison of languages in terms of how fast they are to beginners vs experts. I've been thinking about how to design it to get that result. What I think would work is taking something like these simple puzzles and have maybe a hundred people write up different solutions, so we can compare them using the programmer's level of expertise as one of the factors.
I completely agree. Packt as a publisher is hot garbage. That's not to say every author is bad but but even when you get a quality author with good content, you will have horrific formatting and nonsense like pages with one sentence on them, illegible screenshots and there's often a complete absence of proof-reading or editing. The Packt game seems to be to simply flood search results hence quantity over quality.
By that logic everything human related is natural too.

The number of cats that kill birds is due to the fact that humans breed them en masse.

Nothing natural about that.
Funny that it shares the homepage with an article about curl receiving LLM generated fake bug reports for the bug bounty. That's done for self promotion, and so is this.

Personally I'd rather have bad English.

I worked on 2nd and Congress for 4 years and almost every single person I worked with who lived in the suburbs took the train from around the Domain/Aboreteum/further-north-Canada area. They would usually bike, park-at, or get dropped off at a park-n-ride.

Nobody said addicts, etc aren't on trains. I said people think that is who is only on it. My software engineer dad-friends absolutely took the train every single day and so did a TON of people who worked downtown. They constantly complained that the trains were full and I remember them changing schedules based on how full they were.

They all said they took the train because it was faster and they didn't have to sit in traffic.

I've also taken tons of buses. I lived off the drag and worked on 2nd. I always took a bus by UT down Congress to get to downtown. A bus is a bus. Every city bus has bus issues like you mentioned. Yawn. It's even worse here in Denver.

GPLv3's biggest features are preventing source code from bricking by not running on the target hardware unless it's signed with a confidential private key, and automatically granting any patents which may encumber the source code.

So, companies doesn't like to share their source code in a usable form if they're not against GPLv2 but are against GPLv3.

Companies are being companies. It's not about the license, but allowing others to use their code on their products. So they're after smoke and mirrors, and when their mirrors are taken away, they have moved to mirrors that work.

Am I understanding that right?
if you have the soft skills (I sure dont lol) I -think- contracting/consulting can be a solution to this? It's not exactly part time, but you work your contract and then take a break before you pick up the next one, which does give you more flexibility with your time. You could eg work six months on, six months off, that way.

Maybe. I knew a PE who did this years ago, but I wonder if there's any software engineers on this board who have successfully done this
The complaint is that liberals are reporting conservative viewpoints they disagree with. If the school was doing that, why would the liberals be self-censoring? You’re not making any sense.
LA is a disaster for transit and housing, but your numbers aren't a problem on their face.

Any car being used will need >1 space at all times: one at home and one wherever it's being parked when its driver has gone somewhere.

If you have <=1 space per car, the car is either being unused or it's parking illegally sometimes.

We need far more parking spaces per car in LA once we consider the millions of people who are driving in the city and live outside of it.

As far as housing, we'd have a 100% fully housed population with <1 house per person because a large percentage of people live with one or more people.
"There is no increase of organic farming on these fields in Minnesota"

I was not speaking about Minnesota, but the isolated claim denying that "buying organic produce is somehow healthy for the ecosystem".

Buying organic rises demand for organic farming - and organic farming is better for diversity (do you need papers about this?) - but obviously only where the farms are located and not in the supermarket. And if the land you mean has no organic farming yet still increases wildlife, well, there are of course also many things conventional farming can do different (just using a different or less of herbicide/pesticide can have drastic effects).
Some forms of farming may be marginally less apocalyptic in their effects on the ecosystem, but that is not even close to having a positive effect. Aside from the dubious requirements needed to obtain the "organic" label, "organic" has long been recognized as a buzzword used by well-meaning, misinformed people who, understandably, would like to feel good about the produce they eat.

There have been numerous cases of fraud and corruption in relation to the "organic" label in the US. Perhaps it is different in the EU.
This is great, thanks for posting this.

OP - are you interested in pull requests adding support for other languages?
I suspect some selection bias here, so my datapoint is "tried multiple times, didn't get anything useful out of this".

Once contacted company which happened to be geographically close to where I live. Eventually they said they had a "tremendous influx of candidates for that position", so for me it didn't work out.

It's easier to get to talks in "work for a startup" program - I think that's because that program is more structured, not just "looking for work/looking for workers" generic board.
Sometimes you have to use very broad definition of "works". Often (certainly not always) UX and general aesthetic design for many open source apps is extremely poor compared to their proprietary alternatives.
Of course infrastructure is subsidizing those who use it. Even more so when it comes to infrastructure that takes a lot of space, as every square foot of surface dedicated to one thing cannot be dedicated to another. And infrastructure induces demand by lowering some prices relative to others.

In an extreme case, imagine that your typical, currently congested highway gained another 6 lanes in each direction, and we raise speed limits to 100 mph. First, the right of way is now way bigger, so we need to wreck a lot of buildings for this infrastructure. It makes being able to travel near that highway really nice for a while: Minimal congestion! A straight out windfall by people owning land near it. But that also means that the area redevelops, as farmland that was in the middle of nowhere is now a reasonable commute downtown! But as the development continues, the highway will fill up. And since downtown streets were not changed, it's the area downtown near the highway that is now a congested mess, as the limitation is getting from there to buildings.

And again, a subsidy for you can be a harm for me: If every street is 8 lanes wide, it's very hard to cross. Every pedestrian crossing added is also infrastructure, but it slows down traffic. Every bit of lawn you use is another bit of distance I have to wade through to get to my destination, vs an area with the same number of houses, but without lawns.

One can like one tradeoff more than the other, but the fact that infrastructure means subsidy, and that urbanism choices are picking some people's interests over others is just factual.
Paris was originally built to be traversed by walking and on horseback. It was originally built for density and walkability with roads tacked on later as an afterthought. Many streets in the core of Paris, Rome, etc. are tiny and barely fit for cars. Not as easy in a city that grew up with cars and are have as much roadway as buildings.
afaik it wasn't CP per se, it was images of botched circumcisions because he is very anticircumcision and had that as evidence for why. Still not appropriate to be anywhere near a git repo but the context is vastly different than cp. This doesn't change the recommendation to not touch this project with a 100 foot pole, but I think context is important.
This is actually a huge factor - both the covers and the blurbs are hugely important. Self-published covers in competitive genres now have to be on-par with trad covers for a reader to bother clicking on them.

Niches where there may not be much trad coverage can be more forgiving. If you're writing in a small niche that not many other authors cover, you have more wiggle room with the cover art. But very popular genres with a high ceiling really benefit from a professional cover designer (or a professionally-designed premade).

Luckily, there are budget designers out there who are decent. I started out publishing short stories and doing my own covers and editing. My first works _sucked_ and I'm glad I used them more for practice and did not put money into them. Gradually as I started making more, I began investing those royalties in peripheral services: editing and covers. I now pay for covers, developmental edits, copy edits, and proofreads for each new book. I've improved a lot and am steadily building a readership, but my books still barely pay for themselves with the outlay required.
In the latter case you should switch to pencil and paper, just ask Iran.
This is the approach Singapore (and in some ways, Hong Kong) takes; you can own a car, but you must purchase a 10-year use permit, which costs in some cases much more than a car itself (something like $80,000 over 10 years). So if you're buying a Toyota Corolla ($20K car), you'd still need a $80K operating permit to use it.

That's why 90%+ of the people in Singapore use public transportation or carpool. Granted, you would need the public infrastructure for that to be possible. But if you make cars unaffordable for the average person, suddenly there would be A LOT more pressure on local government to get public infrastructure done.
