Yes, the response could be more patient, but ultimately, that's absolutely a user error.

If the documentation clearly says that something should not work, the same thing does not work in other DBs (-> semantics follow Postgres for example), and the definition of the underlying DB types does not really allow for this to work, then the smart thing is to not rely on the behavior (and open a bug report).
Alright. Can you at least post a self-published source? I never heard of this before.
They might not release a separate version for OSS, but I've seen this pattern in some "OSS" companies. They allow the OSS version to lag behind in terms on bug fixes and security updates. Some things are hard to achieve without paid support. These days it's not unbelievable that they are doing it on purpose. After all, we've seen some vocal OSS companies go proprietary after gaining some traction. The lesson is that you absolutely cannot trust corporations to uphold OSS ethos once they get a reasonable amount of traction.

I think for a case like this they would assign a low level employee to make a best effort attempt at this, probably taking some sources from GitHub to match the approximate version of what they released, maybe give it a good shot for a week or two. That would probably placate the SFC at least until they realize.

I really appreciate itch scratching posts like these. The life story is as important as the workflow.
Yes! This would be a super interesting post.

Great essay, I want to highlight a particularly relevant part from it.

> Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a structureless group. Any group of people of whatever nature that comes together for any length of time for any purpose will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible; it may vary over time; it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities, or intentions of the people involved. The very fact that we are individuals, with different talents, predispositions, and backgrounds makes this inevitable. Only if we refused to relate or interact on any basis whatsoever could we approximate structurelessness -- and that is not the nature of a human group.
This means that to strive for a structureless group is as useful, and as deceptive, as to aim at an "objective" news story, "value-free" social science, or a "free" economy. A "laissez faire" group is about as realistic as a "laissez faire" society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others. This hegemony can be so easily established because the idea of "structurelessness" does not prevent the formation of informal structures, only formal ones. Similarly "laissez faire" philosophy did not prevent the economically powerful from establishing control over wages, prices, and distribution of goods; it only prevented the government from doing so. Thus structurelessness becomes a way of masking power, and within the women's movement is usually most strongly advocated by those who are the most powerful (whether they are conscious of their power or not). As long as the structure of the group is informal, the rules of how decisions are made are known only to a few and awareness of power is limited to those who know the rules. Those who do not know the rules and are not chosen for initiation must remain in confusion, or suffer from paranoid delusions that something is happening of which they are not quite aware.
My mail provider locked my account after I used the satellite internet on an intercontinental flight (my IP location must have bounced all over). Got a serious scare later at my hotel since pretty much all of my itinerary plans and details were kept there.

Thankfully that could be resolved, but it wasn't a great way to start a vacation.
Ask HN: Trouble with a Stargate
I wrote a tool (chkbit [1]) to verify the data integrety for backups. It's not developer related and so I don't think it will ever get a lot of stars on Github (tbh I am not interested in tracking if anyone is using it at all).

Yet when I tried to add this to Homebrew [2] I was rebuffed by their "Stargate"

* GitHub repository not notable enough (<30 forks, <30 watchers and <75 stars)

I'm sorry to be asking this as I find it a bit silly, but it's blocking my PR [3], so could a few of you star the project on Github [1] to get my PR to run?

Any thoughts on (F)OSS models for IoT?

We’ve usually got some hardware and firmware closely bound together, with traditional model being selling hardware with proprietary firmware.

Any examples?

He should have read Bakunin too:

> Nothing is more dangerous for man's private morality than the habit of command. The best man, the most intelligent, disinterested, generous, pure, will infallibly and always be spoiled at this trade. Two sentiments inherent in power never fail to produce this demoralisation; they are: contempt for the masses and the overestimation of one's own merits.

> I don’t think it makes sense for passengers to worry about the plane model.

Why do you think we should surrender the tiny amount of agency that we still have, in the face of corporate profit-driven deterioration?

For me, this isn't about a measured risk in relation to other known risks in my life (crossing the road, cycling, drinking alcohol). It's about removing a totally unnecessary risk caused by greed and corporate heedlessness.

A similar case: I stopped eating British Beef when a British minister fed his daughter a beefburger[0] to 'prove' it was "totally safe", during the 'Mad Cow Disease' (BSE) crisis in 1990. I wasn't significantly worried about contracting BSE at the time, but the lengths and efforts that the government went to, to convince people to eat more beef for 'patriotic' reasons, when the farmers had fed their cows on ground-up carcasses for economic gain, meant that my boycott was a small but meaningful expression of my own agency when faced by this sort of appalling behavior.

I feel the same way about Boeing, and about the greed of airlines (like RyanAir), that think only about profit and see passenger safety as an irritating distraction that is only important in terms of 'brand perception'.

I find very confusing to discuss anarchy as the opposite of hierarchy, since political Anarchy is an extremely hierarchical system of government. For example, here is a description of the social organization of CNT-ruled Catalonian villages:

> "The committee is the paterfamilias. It owns everything; it directs everything. Every special desire has to be submitted to it for consideration; it alone has the final say."

> "With the abolition of money, the collective held the upper hand since anyone wishing to travel had to get 'republican' money from the committee."

Hierarchy is not the opposite of anarchy, but of self-organization. To reject hierarchy is to be able to act independently, not to replace the manager with a committee.
Didn't come on to HN today expecting to see "Lead Poisoning: Good Actually?"

Laundry detergent sheets are an innovative addition to the laundry aisle. These thin, biodegradable sheets are infused with concentrated detergent and dissolve completely in water. They offer a pre-measured, mess-free alternative to traditional detergents and are typically hypoallergenic, free from harsh chemicals, and come in recyclable or compostable packaging.
Then at least publish the policy.
I’ve heard that argument. I’m also skeptical about its weight compared to the benefits of locality. When what3words says it, I feel like it’s a salespitch as to why we should use their proprietary solution.

I think your checkmoji solves that problem in its entirety more elegantly. Would a fifth word make it error correcting rather than error detecting?
good points.

Realistically, it feels like the actual utility of an open-source project is based on:

1. it being educational: so everyone can look into its source & learn from its design pattern, etc, or build upon or borrow parts (eg to be modified) and to be used in their own projects - but the practicality of it will really depend on how decoupled and well-designed the system is

2. in favour of competition (so more possible start-ups / big corps can clone their systems/services) and as consumers we will obviously benefit from that

3. llm can access & train on its source code

I think point 3 is most interesting. And I’m also super curious how true point 2 is and to what extend

Point 1 is really cool too - esp when it is done wonderfully (Linux, React for example) but it really depends on so many levels
>I haven’t done the math but conceptually it’s like being paranoid about taking plane A that has a 99.99998 safety vs plane B that has a 99.99999 safety.

That is literally twice as dangerous.

I think the best you can do here, is to grade based upon what is in front of you.

If the code doesn't work, it means they (as you said), didn't understand what they copy and pasted. And as the whole point is to demonstrate learning, understanding, it is valid to mark such things as failures of that.

And this matches real world expectations too.

If there is any way you can tilt assignments to better demonstrate understanding, that's a win.

Hmm.

You could try to break up responses. By that I mean, have a dozen short coding exercises, but then tie them all together.

EG In the end, one bit of code to call the api/functions of the rest?

It might help break AI responses a bit.
Even in groups of friends, there obviously isn't a formal hierarchy, and still, a hierarchy always forms.
yes, sorry for that
For comparison, The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls did this and successfully remained hidden for half a century, only failing because it was published somewhere else.
Yeah yeah. Haven't we already seen this going on again and again. Companies love OSS until they get some amount of traction in the market. And they'll jump ship to being a proprietary vendor right away after that. Can't believe people fall for this shit all the time.

I guess my point is that if you have beliefs like this, following up on them is the path of personal martyrdom. This is very much at odds with mundane things like having a family or a stable comfortable lifestyle.

Just like the term "AI" was co-opted and ruined, "AGI" has now been co-opted and ruined, and we're going to need a replacement term to describe that concept.
>Be wary that many proponents of Anarchy may be the criminally inclined types, so they don't actually have any magical trick to make anarchy non-violent - it's just OK for them to live in violent society because they'll be on top. Think Makhno band.

I doubt that putting apart sincere pragmatic¹ pacifism, any system would be exempt of these traits in its proponents.

Context: German developer Andre Basche has created plugins to connect Haier devices to Home Assistant, apparently via the Haier API. Haier thinks/thought this harms their business model.

From https://www.redpacketsecurity.com/haier-hits-home-assistant-...:

> The plugins offered in the GitHub repositories enable users to control Haier, Candy, and Hoover air conditioners, purifiers, dishwashers, induction hobs, ovens, fridges, washing machines, and dryers through Home Assistant.

> According to a notice published by the repository owner, Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage and violate copyright laws, requiring the developer to take them down to avoid further legal action.
Not true. When I happen to having to fix stuff or have to decode insane json, I curse other developers.
Bought this to see what the hype was about. Hardly use it any more, the Instant Pot is just too small to be useful for air frying. 90% of the things come out better in the oven in convection mode.

Biggest level up was just lightly dusting anything with a starch or flour (lentil flour is awesome) and then a few light sprays of olive oil.
I have followed HN for about 10 years and a few times a year there is an announcement about a major finding in cancer research.

Fortunately, I had no contact with oncology, so I cannot assess if any of these findings have made it to actual treatments.

Is oncology moving by continuous small steps or via leaps after these major findings are put in production, so to speak?
I run RubyFlow and it's just a community link posting site for Rubyists, so feel free to update this to the URL of the actual project if you wish: https://github.com/vidarh/rubywm/tree/master .. RubyFlow runs on a teeny tiny Heroku instance so may not be too great at handling your traffic. It's about fifteen years old though and a single Ruby file, so I should probably rewrite it! ;-)
I think mongodb was more of a fad than a product.
Gas pressure is the atoms/molecules bouncing off something else. If the atoms have more energy, then they impart more energy into whatever they bounce off (inside of the balloon), which essentially means higher pressure i.e. the balloon appears inflated again.

No it doesn't usually, usually they agree to do stuff and if they don't agree everyone goes their own way. Usually there is no command in the friend group.
1. Exercise is definitely a very important part of any sustainable weight loss program. If you lose a ton of weight merely by dieting you'll look ghastly and lose muscle as well (and likely are not getting all the longevity benefits of weight loss). More importantly I have never seen anyone not on Ozempic lose weight with just diet and no exercise and keep the fat off.

2. Calorie counting is pretty dangerous if you have any binge eating background. It tends to make you go into binge eating episodes more often.

3. Their advice basically boils down to "eat less" - I mean no shit, thats been pretty uncontested by any sane person for a long time now! The question is how! How does one overcome their mental barriers and actually achieve it? There's literally no single good advice - different diets work for different people and for some none work. the only bet is to try as many diets as possible to see what suits your mind and schedule.

4. Justifying yourself into any amount of alcohol is in general a bad idea for dieting, and this dude didnt even give up on beer at that!

If this diet worked for him, good for him. I wish him the best to keep it off. But doesnt mean this works for everyone or even most people.

To reiterate, its almost always your own mind that keeps you from your goal weight, because there's an internal set point weight your body has decided for you and it will always try to move you to this goal weight. This is why most people go back to their original size after a year or so of losing massive amounts of weight (including me).

This is where ozempic and these new class of drugs seem to play some magic. I'm not on it and don't plan on going on it, but thats because I'm only marginally overweight and don't need to complicate with its potential side effects yet. Hopefully I can will myself with my current diet plan and get to my goal (current diet is basically also just try and eat less, but also cut out all sugar; seems to work well for me). But if you're clinically obese, and can afford it, ozempic seems to be a great way to go about this. Our perception of why we gain weight has changed drastically and there's no shame in looking for a pharmaceutical out from this issue.
I don't really like this argument because it reduces down to "all art is derivative". While true, it's not really useful. It leads to things like there being only 37 possible stories [1] and people pointing out how Shakespeare is derivative, which is a true but essentially useless statement.

Even if a story is exactly the same, like going to see a Shakespeare play, we still do it because the performance matters, the interpretation matters and the direction matters. And that's before you get into reskins of the same story (eg Taming of the Shrew -> Ten Things I Hate About You).

So the structural similarity is wroth noting and examining but it really has nothing to do with the execution, with how the movie or story or video game looks, plays or how it makes the user feel..

well good that they allow them to include models as well. Some people like living dangerously
I agree that it is as wide as the ocean and as deep as a puddle and it really does lead to a degeneration of meaning, however I think it keeps people solely in the depressive state rather than a schizophrenic one. It really isn't finding meaning and connections in everything if everything is only investigated only to a surface level. It usually just functions more as a form of shallow social signalling: "Yes I've heard of Hegel, yes I've watched Lynch, yes I know a few words in German" etc.

From an individual point of view, often it's a matter of being scared to take a leap of faith into one topic, or simply a matter of great distraction, particularly with vapid online spaces (HN included) and shallow entertainment, or even just a symptom of their own psychological issues. For me it has been a combination of all of them, but ultimately also just a thought: too quickly giving up and spiralling into a kind of self-hating shallow engagement when I am challenged by something.

It's true that people are now stretched over too many cultural artefacts "like butter spread on too much bread". But honestly I can't be bothered to worry about the sociocultural impact of this, I will just focus on enjoying meaning and connection in my own life. I find that pretending "the culture" doesn't exist is the only way to really enjoy it now. I just pursue exactly what I enjoy in the way I enjoy it. I've had enough of actively seeking cultural companionship, particularly online. It was ultimately distraction from living a rich life anyway.

For me, I think learning what I find meaning in, what I really enjoy, was just a part of growing up. It is an ongoing process, but it is growing.

Yes, they do but only for a finite amount of time and most will board the plane because realistically they “don’t have any other choice” given their timeframe ( going home for Christmas, attending a meeting in the morning, etc ). However long term they internalize ( rightfully ) Boeing equals bad and danger. If an airline comes up and announces all their fleet is now all brand new Airbus people notice and prefer that, airlines know that and if the numbers are close they’ll run Airbus. However.. aircraft buying and operation is an incredible complex world, history and politics are a huge factor too, safety is not a factor, “risk” is, they overlap but are not really the same. Most of this will go away in a month or two, until the next plane goes down.
These are the worst customers. They generate the most support tickets, increasing costs.
With all the media attention, and various departments breathing down each other's necks and demanding checks, could we assume that the 737 is now the safest aircraft to fly in?

Is there some type of model or theory which dictates that doing something just after a tragedy is the safest possible moment?
Depends greatly on the season and how long you have, but for a few tips:

Munich:
Cool little artist district with a boat railway bridge - https://maps.app.goo.gl/13Zjw2usCbvcsr1UA

Inner city surf wave with a great spectating spot - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ha1EQBvRoG1dLoyw5

South of Munich:

Murnau is a beautiful town with great views of the alps, reachable via train, and there is a great resteraunt near protected wetlands I can recccommend - https://maps.app.goo.gl/m9317uf5j7qKw8ML6

Cheimsee is also beautiful, little islands with a castle on a lake and a beergarden - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZbxWRT7cDh66nzbS7

Further into the Alps you can find Königsee which is stunning, has great hiking, and plenty of history - https://maps.app.goo.gl/6fXAN1KwP8PqmTHc7

If you're into snowsports then now is a great time to get into the mountains and rent some gear to have a fun day. For hiking it is probably better to wait for the snow to thaw and then do a hut to hut treck if you can.

As a note, I do not reccommend going to see the Disneyland Castle, a.k.a. Neuschwanstein. It'll involve lots of crowds, a rushed tour, and a mediocre experience overall.

Enjoy!
