That still sounds dirt cheap for a gym. I workout at home or outdoors these days, but my last gym membership (24 Hour Fitness) was $25/month, 5 years ago, and the folks at the front desk were amazed I had that rate.

Aside, is Planet Fitness still unfriendly to people that push themselves during workouts? I'm no bodybuilder and never will be (my little-girl wrists made that decision) but the idea of a "lunk alarm" was rather off-putting.

The founder of MySpace came from XDrive so I assumed XDrive is what is being referred to here. Wikipedia suggests this too, with MySpace starting later as a new company, but it states that the early team were inspired by social features in some other existing software. Maybe that was called MySpace and is what you are talking about. Would love to read more about it
The limitations and clearly second-tiering of the Exchange connector are what pushed me to move away from Google Workspaces last year. I settled on Fastmail, precisely because they support Push in iOS Mail.app. From my research, they are one of the very few who support the imap extensions required to do that. Have been very happy with them so far, they support all my workflows, and do so a lot better than Gmail.
You neighbors sound like trash. That sounds like a tough situation, and it's a small mercy that you have at least the financial support of the government. Autistic burnout is real, and I've cumulatively spent years out of work because of it—once again I was fortunate to have the financial buffer. I eventually got to a better place, but not before being in the workforce again. If it helps to talk, I've put my Slowly ID in my bio for a few days
It's a quote from the first link, about the crater.

I believe the meaning is that the crater was named after the actress, and presumably copied the spelling of her name.

Unfortunately Deere has a well-deserved reputation for profiteering on the backs of the farming community. They're infamous for not allowing farmers to repair their own tractors, and then mandating that repairs are performed by expensive and slow dealerships, thus meaning a small-time farmer is screwed if his tractor malfunctions during a time-critical part of the season such as planting or harvest.
I can just imagine some of the schemes Musk and Deere have cooked up.
i donknow... wasting so much time just to get a basic idea that quality is important looks like a terrible book to me.

Of course in the context of "books useful for engineers".

If you just enjoy someone's couch philosophy - i can totally understand that and agree that the book may be great.

The notion of propensity/flow made me question if one's life is not best when being able to see and surf trends as you need. Tiny soft and round exchanges between all parties.. a kind of dance.
Getting a nice named domain rather than having to do something like getX.com. If the name you want is taken on .com, .io, etc but none of them are actually in use or are completely unrelated to your industry, using a less common tld can make sense.

You seem quite worked up about Europe, so I will leave it here.
Thank you so much for that. It is wonderful. So therefore you must be. I am from Ireland and the whole sense of it resonates with me; the soft humour, the self-confidence, the sheer loveliness of his outlook, the different times.

True, but they did nothing but talk for a little bit. If she was what they were looking for their actions would not have been of any value. In her case we had just walked through a metal rectangle--could simply have been something to narrow the line to one person wide, or there could have been something in it. I had thought it was lining people up for an infrared camera (I had previously seen such a station with a monitor that was clearly showing an IR camera view of the crowd) but they called her over.

So strange to me that leafblowers are the target of constant community ire and potential regulation, yet roving groups of Harleys and non-Harley motorcycles, imo much more loud and harmful than leaf blowers, can destroy people's eardrums with zero consequences.
No, as far as I have seen, the "AI wrapper" companies have been clinging to GPT-4 a lot faster than other tech companies. Many bigger companies deploy GPT-4 very sparingly if at all.
What debt? Typically when you sign up for a service with a free trial, they charge you before each paid period. You get X days for free as part of the trial, then at the end of the trial they attempt to charge you for the next month of service. When that charge declines, they just don't provide you with the next month of service, and all they've given you is the free trial which incurs no debt.

If you're receiving a service at cost but agreeing to pay for it later, then yes they could send you to collections if you refuse to pay it, but that model is only really used for a select few services (some phone plans come to mind). The vast majority of online services are prepay.

Could not agree more. Hilarious that we somehow now live in a world in which Europeans are underrated.
Let's add it as a class, I'm not against it. I do have doubts about its efficacy introduced to students in high school before they have their first credit card and their counselors continuing to push the college at all costs view, but it won't hurt.

I'm not sure what the solution is. Frankly I just don't think people are that interested in it - even if you do know about it, looking at your cc bill or budgeting just isn't a thing people want to do. If you know your mortgage jumps up in 5 years, most people will think they'll be able to afford it then. We vote in policies that help the wealthy because everyone assumes that's who they'll be soon enough!

That all being said, I'm not sure how much we should protect people against themselves. I don't mean to take a libertarian view and we can improve the current situation (like making subscription cancelling easier and online), but I don't think solving finances is a tenable one. I'm digressing, but we all like to kick the can down the road, including our national debt or pension obligations.

Cool that you are mentally and physically fit, I am as well.

But there are lots of people who struggle with range of mental disorders or disabilities. Some might have depression some might have ADHD, some might just be much more forgetful so they might think it is good to check account balance but 30 mins later they just don’t feel or remember they had to do it.

Sometimes the only way to cancel is to make a telephone call (to a number that may not be easy to find)
and wait on hold to talk to a person,
who will then do everything they can to convince you to stay.

Companies put a lot of effort into making signup frictionless, I don't buy an excuses that say cancelling is intrinsically harder than signup and can't be streamlined.
how do you motivate formal functions and relations to 5th graders, and more importantly why? Relations are important because of the natural partitions of a set they create and the development of group theory. Functions are useful in calculus, but not really the algebraic properties, those are glossed over, i.e kids learning calculus are usually not learning the formalization of functions. That isn't important until analysis or abstract algebra, hence why its included in the textbooks
> Urbanisation generally decreases fertility, but Israel has a high population density and high fertility.

But exclusively with the highly religious population, no?
While they certainly had some really bad practices in the past, and I am no fan of the Chinese government, I find it hard to believe (and condescending) that today they are so cartoonishly self-destructive.
> Slave Labor is difficult to beat, eh? This is a strange way to make a point about government spending vs. commercialism.

If we’re being brutally honest a lot of today’s economy depends on slave-like conditions for workers. Not necessarily in the “developed” world although people debate that, but definitely in poorer areas of the world.

> The overall point was the incentive for someone to make a profit is what motivates many if not all of the risky endeavors. If governments were solely in charge of launching rockets, then there would be no push by SpaceX to develop cheaper alternatives (and therefore win contracts, therefore make money).

I don’t entirely agree with that statement. Of course the profit motive is powerful and it does matter to people but that is largely because of the capitalist system itself.
So if that is changed the profit motive ceases to be as strong.

The case could be made that many of the greatest companies were founded by people motivated by strong vision and the desire to make an impact, much rather than profit motive. However in order to be able to do anything under capitalism they needed to focus on things that could be made profitable.

And certainly taken too far the incentives of the system are not at all aligned with making ordinary people’s lives better, but rather that they keep buying or subscribing to your stuff. See social media motives and incentives for instance.

> Does this statement include things like the canvas API and SVG? How restrictive are we talking here?

Your have good point for discussion. But to address this sentence I saw in the blog this:

> There will be escape hatches, from a fixed-size canvas surface where end-users can use arbitrary paint primitives to full-on custom widget code, but we should design the framework under the assumption people will almost never need those hatches.

Also instead of SVG you can probably use Kurbo like in Druid.
It's bizarre to me that some people think that American's are somehow more stupid or gullible than other nations. Lots and lots of capital was spent to make sure that Americans are conditioned to spend as much and as frictionless as possible. And now they do and regulation cannot catch up.

> retirement savings, not paying random fees, not paying interest, moving spare money to investment accounts every month, rebalancing your investments every quarter, negotiating rents, negotiating your salary.

Where else do people need to actively manage their pension accounts like in the US? If your employer does not provide a decent 401k they trying to create a solid retirement investment account is an uphill challenge. In most other places it's simply a tax into a pension fund.

> not paying random fees
There is very little price transparency. Random fees are typically not random, but hidden. You can't book a rental car online without being hit with some municipal tax or other surcharge at the counter. In SF a health surcharge often added to the bill on top tax. It makes no fucking sense that it is not a part of the price or part of the sales tax. Cellular carriers and ISPs know exactly how much you gonna be paying but will bend backwards to make sure you don't know it until very end.

You are right that basic financial discipline is a personal responsibility, but removing the asymmetry in
the relationship between large businesses and consumers is on the government and legal system.
These days you gain very little (performance, devX, complexity etc.), but pay too much (overengineering mentality, "best" practices and traditions, tons of legacy etc.) in comparison to other tools.
> if setup properly, it's easier to scale

For home use/needs, I think vertical scaling is much easier.

In theory this lowers the barrier to entry. A small clinic can buy in at the limited use subscription and they can pay to remove the limit as they grow. Having one hardware SKU for everyone and selling feature unlock licenses simplifies manufacturing.

Price discrimination, intellectual "property" enforcement, and DRM are nothing new in the medical industry.

I think the key thing that is trying to be conveyed here (based on discussions I have had with the blog post’s author beyond the contents of the blog post itself) is that you shouldn’t be required to create a custom widget unless your requirements are unusual.

I am confident that the ability to create custom widgets will be retained for those who do need it.
What is technically the difference between a suicide UAV and a missile? Just speed? Or does it need to have a rocket engine to be a "missile"?

Actually, I guess maybe suicide drones are a subset of missiles.
My friend, did you jump to conclusions here? ;)
If you do a consistent amount of color printing, the price per page of Instant Ink beats the price of just buying normal ink cartridges.

The important thing is that you're printing frequently, at least once per week, and using up most of your quota. If you're like me, where you print maybe 50 pages per year, it's a terrible deal. But if I was printing 50 pages per month, that's only $4/month. That's $0.08 per page. Meanwhile, a spot check of a few sets of color cartridges shows that buying your cartridges outright is around 13-15 cents per page.

If you only do black, then it's not that good of a deal.
Async programming is beautiful. It’s the easiest and most natural way to do multiple things at the same time in single threaded code.

Async makes things possible that are hard or impossible to do with synch programming.

It’s a real game changer for python especially. Cant comment on rust, hopefully its implementation is smooth.
About every week there is an article on HN about dark patterns. It's always fun to say "personal responsibility" but that tends to neglect quite often there is a billion dollar entity spending vast amounts of time and money in finding ways to screw you over. It is not about the $10 per individual, it's the fact they may be spreading that behavior across a million people or more that makes that company a danger to the public.
> Google Flights is usually the best search engine for most people, but don't clickthrough the links to book directly with the airlines.

Show HN: Jeki – Code-sharing widget with dynamic parts
Hi HN, I’m Danyil, founder of Jeki – an open-source code-sharing widget with dynamic parts for editing predefined sections into the widget directly instead of the copy-and-paste routine into a separate editor.

You can integrate the Jeki widget into your Confluence pages as a macro or add it to your HTML ones as a web component. Additionally, our CLI tool is a valuable asset for anyone dealing with Bash commands.

For a hands-on experience, visit https://jeki.io to watch a demo and explore the widget's capabilities.

— — —

Developers worldwide are increasingly involved in documenting inner source software, runbooks, and deployment procedures, yet the process often lacks convenience, particularly when adapting it to specific needs. Take, for instance, Bash commands: the repetitive cycle of copying, pasting, modifying, and executing in a console is far from efficient.

Our solution simplifies this challenge, empowering developers to streamline their workflow, enhance efficiency, and eliminate errors associated with manual copy-pasting. This tool is designed to change how developers work, providing a seamless experience.

— — —

The Jeki widget macro designed for Confluence will soon be accessible on the Atlassian marketplace by the end of this month. We're gearing up to make our repositories publicly accessible later this month.

— — —

We want to go forward and provide organizations with premium development tools that leverage advanced functionalities based on the core features of our widget.

We're eager for you to experience Jeki and provide us with your valuable feedback! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.

Chandler, the Note-to-Self Organizer
To be fair, Cyberpunk 2077 took 500 people 11 years and 400 million dollars, and even then when it dropped it was barely in a playable state. It seems more fair to compare modern AAA games to movies than indie games, in terms of the cost and resources that go into them. Although with movies, they're actually finished when they release (George Lucas and Steven Spielberg notwithstanding.)

But as someone who can mess around with tilemaps all day but still can't work in Blender, or rig a model, or understand OpenGL or shaders, I feel your pain.

Yeah! Programmers are quite familiar with this universe. In many programming languages, you can't represent 2^64 with a built-in integral datatype. While it's certainly possible to implement data structures and algorithms to support arbitrary-size integer arithmetic, most programmers don't! They just pretend that numbers larger than 2^64-1 do not exist! And, that's a fairly safe assumption for many real-world applications.

But even with that arbitrary-size integer arithmetic, your mathematical universe is still bounded by your computational environment's resources.

Fun covert narcissism fact 1: Covert narcissism (with focus on both grandiose and shame) has a statistically significant greater relative amount of personal reference in writing (how often they talk about themselves vs others).

Fun covert narcissism fact 2: The Apostle Paul, the "I'm the least of the apostles" and "I'm not less than the greatest apostles" guy, has a startlingly significant amount of personal reference in his authentic letters as compared to the non-Pauline Epistles to the point the Corinthians even seemingly commented on how much he talks about himself.
The thought has crossed my mind, but if I win they can still (algorithmically, no doubt) say “we've decided we no longer want your business”, which would be a bigger deal given how prevalent “sign in with google” is, to say nothing of the various important and/or official things that are mailing to gmail.

Google Flights first, and then I go to the airline's site to purchase. I never deal with third-party resellers - they might be cheaper in some cases but a nightmare to deal with if the flight changes or gets canceled.

I like Google Flights so much that I also built a Chrome extension[1] to improve the interface (hiding the third-party affiliate links, putting seat data in the top-level of the results, and making business class searches easier).
