I bought the whole set for my kid. He's also doing Brilliant.

It starts at somewhere that the kids are at the end of primary school (at least in the UK) and ends somewhere in high school. My kid could already do all the pre-algebra stuff, so that book went fast. The way I see it, the kids waste a lot of time in the middle years when they already know the arithmetic and pre-algebra, but might as well be doing a bunch of more interesting things.
That 404 page looks horrible on mobile. Anyone else see it?
This is the California sunrise soundtrack. Every morning, like clockwork.

I would pay extra, whatever the cost, to have rakes and brooms be the tools, not the blowers.

Postgres queries are streaming. Ie. If the query result has 1 billion rows, but the client only has enough ram for 1 million rows, then the query will be slowed down until the client is ready to accept more rows.

If the client is slowly processing through the result set, then the query can take many minutes/hours.
It's not reasonable to investigate every baggie of marijuana in a state where the vast majority of marijuana sales are THC-A with minimal delta-9 THC.

Isn't that arguably what Ello thought they were doing?
Can you give us examples of such startups?

Also, the founders of Elo were creatives, not programmers. So they couldn't throw a microSaaS on a VM, forget it and go write the next microSaaS, rinse and repeat.
I have found my cursive hand getting much better after spending some time with Gregg shorthand.

The emphasis on curve and proportion in Gregg has made my cursive hand much more regular, flowing and pleasing to the eye. I’m sure similar benefits would accrue to learning and practising Orthic where specific curves, angles and joins have meaning.
The fact that you had to claim it was respectful multiple times indicates that the opposite is true.

I kind of asked to be disrespected by admitting that I am not having an easy life.

I got into generative AI awhile back when GPT-3 came out. A very significant portion of Silicon Valley also switched to AI related efforts. Not from a lack of imagination but because it was painfully obvious how powerful it was.

It's been enough to get by. It's definitely easier to get jobs on Upwork in a trending field.

Since I've been pursuing online business for over a decade and built many for others, I am quite aware of the odds of success.

What you actually informed me about was only your lack of respect.

None of the rest of it was even a tiny bit informative.

Perhaps to are projecting this as a way to defend against your poor ability to adapt.
> See, it's even worse for Boeing. Now their good planes are lumped together with negative connotations about their bad planes in negative news stories that have nothing to do with Boeing, while getting discussed in forums rather than the actual topic of the article. Which was something about loose bolts making outdoor equipment loud. Damn, it happened again.

To say nothing of the appropriateness or applicability of bringing up the 767 in the original article, which was almost certainly a case of SEO abuse, your usage of passive voice obscures your own role in contributing to and continuing this phenomenon. I’m not sure that you were aware of the distinction beforehand from your comments, and regardless, your comment here now glosses over your own role in virally and memetically propagating the same blunder that your passive statements ascribe to no one with a view from nowhere.

Something something glass houses, casting stones, and so on.
Ok, I read it wrong.

But I still disagree. Why does Apple have to allow a different OS to run on their hardware? That's absurd.

I don't demand that my refrigerator let me run my own software if I want to - nor do I demand that of my headphones, car, microwave, etc.
And then there are the companies that leave up job postings from 6+ years ago...
This is the same thinking that like led to the Chinese PLA affiliated scientists developing that 100% death rate brain covid that was reported this week.
Ha ha, no. What will replace humans? LLMs? Doubtful.
Well they’re all employed and given they chased hype they probably are in a tech hub and therefore I’d expect them to be earning above median for their cohort and still working on interesting stuff. How many of these assumptions are wrong?
That's in the "counter" or ordinal number area. Numbers themselves are extremely regular: 20 is just "to-ten". The age of twenty is considered a very special occasion in Japan, and celebrated semi-publically (20 used to be when you became a legal adult, but now you can at least vote when you're 18). Thus that event is called hatachi, はたち, and is from the traditional number / counting system ("hata"=20). But it is also possible to say it as you would say 19 or 21, which is the normal number plus a "year counter" suffix - that depends on the focus.

The numbers (as in one, two, three..) are actually generally from Chinese, with exceptions (particularly where there are two options, as for four and seven), but counters (for smaller values) are generally from native Japanese and therefore sound different from numbers, and also changes somewhat with whatever it is you're counting. Japanese is so logical and well-structured that it appears that to compensate for that ease, you have counters.. (though we could blame Chinese for that as well, pre-contact there were only a very limited number of counter types (counter types are flat items, round items, long thin items, people, years..), post-contact there are hundreds (but fortunately it's possible to ignore a lot of them).
There should be one for Dave Mills. Another legend that deserves recognition for the foundations of the internet that hundreds of millions use today.

RIP Dave Mills.
In my test the screenshot had no subpixel AA, but if it did why would that be an issue? (beyond it looking ugly when upscaled)
It always baffled me why only 1 type of dolphin is showcased in every damn documentary. This one looks so cool.
> I wonder if there's a way to prevent the growth at all costs that is demanded by the financial markets.

Google (and Facebook etc) are controlled by their founders (some even as majority shareholders). There's no blaming financial markets here.

Facebook was even happy to set fire to a giant pile of cash in pursuit of the 'metaverse', a project that approximately no investors wanted, but that was dear to the heart of their founder.
Ventrilo is voice chatroom software (like discord) that is self-hostable.

It's been around for 21 years, has a wikipedia page [0], and is mentioned in at least one old meme-worthy DOTA song [1], so the OP likely didn't feel it needed an introduction.

I thought we weren't supposed to Show HN before usable? Links to versions in footer seem dead and clicking store button gives:

"Quetta for iOS will hit App Store in Spring 2024. Stay tuned. Follow us to get the latest updates."

The Show HN should be clearer, Android only.

Separately, and not a Show HN problem just a product comment, product claims range from dubious to purposely misleading.
And I migrated away all my accounts from Google in anticipation of it being more and more user hostile.

Honestly, if I were still at Google, I would be outraged. In the name of false security, they make the wall around their garden taller and thicker every single day.

PNG not using premultiplied alpha does mean that it is not great as an intermediary format in certain scenarios, but saving the final result as a PNG should not be an issue.
I think that was the original idea of the term in the West as well, we just got it distorted via sci-fi over time
Some BMW 5s can do regenerative braking and use it to charge the "normal" (well it's a big stop-start one these days I would think) battery instead of having the alternator load the engine. So the electrical systems can be running on regenerated power.
Incredible.

McGill really went all-in on cloud storage without ANY local backups. An institution. Wow.

I bet next you’ll tell me they’re gonna open a consumer Backblaze account.
And it's very shy apparently. Even as someone from the more northern parts of Germany, I didn't know that these creatures lived there!
Is it comparable to the physical and emotional toll a career of a surgeon would involve ?

Or of an underwater welder ?

Of a firefighter, teacher, chef ?

Also I am impervious to your Ad hominems and feel no need or desire to defend myself from you, and I certainly do not feel the need to defend your childish "lack of sex" attack :)
Well-written comment. I would love to read an extended version of this with examples, pictures, etc. as a blog post / youtube video.
Is that the same Microsoft which is throwing money into running environmentally destructive AI workloads as their key business driver?
Nice illustration of the scientific process that's not so abstract that even other Biologists wouldn't understand, as is often the case in other fields. Very cool!
Well, depending on what kind of data was stored in the database he accessed, this may constitute a data breach according to privacy law in which the vendor also needed to assess whether the incident needs to be reported to its data subjects (i.e. all customers in the same database). Those could then possibly sue for damages.

Of course if that's the case the vendor would have to be found to be in violation of privacy laws by not using state of the art protections (e.g. not shipping plaintext passwords, not using the same database/credentials for data from different customers) and might be fined for that separately.
php + htmx should work good. But it's still website, not webapp. Complex front end operations are hard to implemente in htmx.

api server + react/vue/angular work good. They are just js(templates compiled to js). They are for building webapps.

Anyway, html is not turing complete.
Sure climate matters, however your assertion seems to be incorrect.

> Almost all Passivhauses rely on: very heavy insulation, R-40 to R-60 walls, R-50 to R-90 roofs, and often R-30 to 50 sub-slab insulation, triple-glazed low-e windows, and exceptional avoidance of thermal bridges (except for wood framing) ...

from [1]

While Minnesota requires significantly less insulation:

> Wood frame wall insulation: R-20 or 13+5 (CZ6), R-21 (CZ7) Foundation or crawl space insulation: R-15 insulation for concrete masonry foundations and R-10 applied to the exterior of the wall; R-10 continuous insulation is allowed on the exterior of the foundation wall if the air leakage rate is below 2.6 ACH50 Duct insulation: Depending on the location, R-3.3 to R-8 and vapor or weather retarder might be required
from [2]

To compare to a much more comparable climate. In Sweden the U-value (metric units) of a window must be better than 1 W/m^2K, Minnesota building standard requires a U-factor (imperial) of better than 0.32 Btu/h·ft2·F which corresponds to a U-value (metric units) of 1.82 W/m^2K. Note lower is better, so for a similar climate the European code requires almost twice as good windows.

>conning an idiot into paying way above market value for it.

That idiot, how you call him, bought the user base and the market position of Twitter. Either he has a plan to make it profitable or he doesn't care, as long as he doesn't loose too much money.
This is pretty standard in corporations these days. My org did the same. The assumption is that if it’s not in confluence or GitHub then it’s not worth keeping this goes in one drive.

It is quite frankly insane.
just use rsync?
>>The solution there is to bring more charged batteries, but those as well as the charging stations for multiple batteries are costly.

I can't imagine they don't pay for themselves within couple months if you actually run a business. The amount of fuel used by any greenkeeping business is non-trivial, and batteries are not that expensive.

>>Electric equipment can also not be used if there's rain

Since when? Of course it can be.

>>and the batteries are not resilient to cold.

This only really starts to have a measurable impact in the kind of cold where I'd question your sanity if you were still blowing leaves outside.
Good luck. Been illegal for 15 years in Los Angeles but we get to enjoy it four days a week on our street.
How self sacrificing humble gesture /s
> MEPs believe that the current way royalties are distributed is unfair. Current algorithms favor major labels and artists when providing suggestions, making it more difficult for less popular and diverse genres to get exposure.

The "algorithm" as in the recommendation system and curated playlists that are shown to users, or are we talking about the algorithm that makes up the royalty payments i.e. Spotify's "streamshare" approach?
I take a bit of heat from my HOA because I simply refuse to participate in activities that I wouldn't want my neighbors doing every day.

Leaf blowing is bad, but nothing touches my experience with a neighbor and his pressure washing hobby. Imagine someone cleaning their driveway every weekend. The leaf blowers are like a symphony by comparison.

I've moved 2 times over bad neighbors alone. Both times they acted like it was an assault on their humanity that I would leave over such a thing.

Not everyone has the luxury to do so, but you can find a quiet place if your sample size is high enough. It's not just about having enough money to buy an isolated ranch home. There are so many odd things that can make noise that you won't discover for months.
I said rhymes. You are presenting argument against something which I did not write.

It's worth remembering though that it all drops down to trust anyway. What source do you consider trustworthy? Journalists write false stuff all the time (you may know some specific people you can trust), so that leaves research papers. Reliability of data there is higher than from a random sample on the web, but it is very far from something I would trust blindly.

Any human compiling data from different sources can also make a mistake. Can fail to use reason when it should be clear that the data is not consistent. I don't think there's any doubt that in some time, such error rate will be lower for large models than it is for humans.
It sounds like it's McGill asking

"And this is why we [McGill] are asking you to reduce the data stored in your OneDrive and in your Outlook email."

But, amazingly, Microsoft did argue this nonsense:

1. security risk of storing files

2. environmental impact

3. ability for Microsoft to innovate more by deleting your stuff

Apple cut the phone charger for environmental reasons too.

It always has to be the end user who sacrifices for the environment.
Does anyone know of any environmentally friendly cloud services as an alternative?
Ads are unethical. Loud annoyances plastered across the screen in a frail attempt to part me of my money after already stealing my time.

Also Google is the one footing the bill, so if anything it’s unethical to not be running this.

> Obviously, beacuse people who figured out how to fit in just fit in, and don't hang out much on such subreddits. On those boards, you're dealing with a minority within a minority.

Social difficulty is probably the most common affliction of autistic people. I've met extravert hypersocial autists, but they are very much the minority of the minority.

From the second line of the wiki article for autistic spectrum:

> Other common signs include difficulty with social interaction
Linux distros nowadays runs several hundreds of processes, just after fresh install. That's nowhere near "lean".
This looks like a change in policy for personal student accounts. If this person is doing something related to research, their own group should provide a solution for data management and backups. I really don't see the problem here, other than using "the environment" as a bullshit excuse for cost savings.
You have to trust the email client's developers to not be malicous, to not write insecure software, to not get hacked, and not sell to someone malicous. And on desktop it's worse since they are less secure as programs can typically read each other's files meaning some random program can read your Google account password that the email client is using.
> Facebook was even happy to set fire to a giant pile of cash in pursuit of the 'metaverse'

I always saw it more as priming the market. Throw out this idea, with the apparent weight of Meta behind it, and see how the market jumps on it (or not). If it goes well, Meta as initiator can easily ensure they stay in the lead, gobble up startups and such.
PNG can display HDR, but the lack of floating-point support does put it at a disadvantage as an intermediate format (there's a demo about half way down the page comparing 16-bit PNG against fp16 EXR, during exposure adjustment)
And yet they crank out new and innovative "products" every 4 years. So much so that they were essentially doing 90% of what Meta is trying to do now with 100x less people and budget.

I think the real answer lies in the fact that at a public company, you will need to answer to shareholders, but at Valve, you actually need to answer to the whims of benevolent dictator Gabe Newell.
Microsoft is following Google decision two years ago to stop their more generous (than MS) storage plan for educational institutions.

A lot of the people who had MS offering instead of google were saying that they are safe with their choice. 1TB is much more reasonable than "unlimited" and Microsoft would keep it. Now here we are.

Happy to be part of CERN so I don't have to worry about my institution storage situation at all. And it is not like one drive or google drive would be suitable for me anyway.
We are about 120km apart, different electricity providers. If an area this size looses energy for a considerable time, data is probably my least problem.
Giants. Seriously, I get this vibe when looking at all these people, the early internet culture. Sometimes I feel as if I was there... or rather really wanted to be.
What subreddits did you look through?
Honestly I don't feel the sacrifice. My house is flooded with old chargers. They're in a bin like old legos.

The e-waste related to including chargers in the box is a real thing. That change also allowed them to halve the size of the boxes, effectively doubling the shipping yield. On a billion-device level that's a non-trivial change.

And yes, it's good for their bottom line. And yes, it effectively increased the price by $30. Sucks for me, yes. So what?
Yeah. I keep a backup disk at a friend’s house.
Long-term heavy Workflowy and later Dynalist user here. I am not upset that the developers started working on Obsidian instead, since I see Obsidian as the superior product, which has replaced both Workflowy and Dynalist for me.
By changing one's system clock.

Your code shows that `random` is seeded with `time(nullptr)` which has a second precision, so you can guess the generated private key by knowing the exact second the wasm module was initialized and the number of `random` calls until the eventual key was derived. You can see this yourself by loading two identical windows around the same time and generate keypairs from both, resulting in the same keypairs.

Even the most generous assumption gives only ~30 bits of information entropy, so it is extremely unsafe. Forget side-channel attacks---you are not even prepared against direct attacks.
Ah, I read it as though you switched to G.hn because of wifi issues and thought you were describing that issue.
Is there a way I can give feedback on wrong labels? The easy questions seem to be correct most (all?) of the time, but I noticed a few errors in the labelling of the complex question/answers. I would love to see this improve even further!
Excellent point. I would also concede to the previous commenter, that citizens of different countries in Europe have (in many aspects) larger cultural differences than citizens of different states in the US (and language is a huge factor), but there are still many commonalities as well.
this is honestly great news.

you get upi on your phone via an app or sms or ussd, whatever works for you.

your UPI id is linked to your bank so your name and name of the other person always shows.

before sending money, the "real" name of a UPI id is shown so you can't miss it (sure typo thing and all but that is separate) and the transactions are atomic so if its done, then its done. no recalls.

i understand credit cards and disputes are integral in the western system but i don't think that needs to be that way... the cost of that (2-4% of the transaction) value is way too much for others.
Everyone moved to Discord which does all the things the parent complains about, but somehow it’s still a better product. As if most people don’t really care about those, for the better or worse.
Ah, finally I will be able to understand my doctor's handwriting.
Yeah, literally scrambled and verified but I still have 25Terabytes of data (this is the limit since forever) with no notice of reduction. I'm not saying that this isn't true, but I'm saying that McGill admins can set data limits.

Edit: our IT admins are really baffled too and will now verify with Microsoft if this is an actual thing or just poor phrasing from McGill.

Update: there'll be a change apparently but not this draconian. Storage will be limited to a minimum of 100GB/user with an additional 100TB "pooled" storage for everyone. While this is a shock to me and my admin, McGill's policy is still exceptionally draconian.
It would make the compression take a (tiny) hit. In your test case being dominated by a solid color patch (which describes many screen shots), it would make no practical difference.
I didn't expect to see Ventrilo anywhere ever again after they've torpedoed themselves off the market when they've stopped distributing their server binaries and people could not self-host anymore.
Sad day for the Internet, Rest in Peace David L. Mills , and that time keeps going on forever to you and your energy to be felt across time and space.

I'm sure the artifacts of your work will never be forgotten.

On a sidenote

Last year I had a chat with one of the members of the early Web and we understood there's a serious issue of knowledge transfer to future web devs generations.

Few people reads books, and even if they do, the books written by technical people are not pedagogical enough as to allow the reader to capture the Tacit Knowledge and experience from the author as to be able to reproduce new ideas.

We are LOSING fundamental knowledge of the internet for every mind who dies. If you think that mailing lists, web archives, books and blog posts are enough then you're being naive.

At some point nobody will understand how the Web works. The curve where the Web is going is not pretty.

This is extremely troubling to me and I'm trying on the sidelines to have some sort of way to run Tacit Knowledge extraction from those ppl. Known techniques are ACTA and CTA (Advanced Cognitive Task Analysis and Cognitive Task Analysis).

If you have any other idea, please let me know.
