I have no idea what that means and who it’s for.

I don’t know if this is exactly what your product does but maybe a heading like:

That at least tells me who is the buyer and what benefit I will get
If you’re referring to the shiny pieces in soil you buy from a garden shop, that’s actually perlite - a natural volcanic glass that’s added to improve soil drainage.
Look, I live in remote corner of ex-USSR, do not care about intricacies of israel politics, all I can see is the top leaders of the country (minister of security, president, defence ministers) keep saying these weird stuff at all phases of he conflict; every other day some mad shit israeli army did again gets posted on X.

All israeli govt is far far right. Likud won't fly in anywhere in civilise world. Just seeing freaks like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir being actually employed in israel says a lot about israel. I am not good at these pilpul games of who slightly less crazy right wing who is more, what was the context of bibis deranged rants, so yeah. IMO israel as well may be targeting civilians. W#hich what ICJ had found that day.

You words are worthless to me, my friend. I make jusdgemjents from what I see, and I think that israel does target civilians in Gaza.
One wonders what happens now that Stable Diffusion (etc.) is available.

It seems SD's advantage is more in newness/originality, I'm unsure it's actually cheaper right now - one needs to factor in the time/compute taken to get the good enough result. I presume Vogel is currently much more skilled in searching PD images than in running SD.
What's the benefit over just buying a regular domain for my internal stuff? The result would be about the same, and I wouldn't be dependent on you never going out of business.
Lost too much data that way, trailing slash with delete. I still feel bitter, the UX is terrible considering the effect are so different from copy and delete.
I feel like the introvert/extrovert thing is a lot like comparisons among GenX vs. Millennial vs. GenZ; just a lazy form of thinking used to generate pseudo-intellectual clickbait.
If it didn't do that, it would have to add a switch that you'd still have to look up. It's a tool that's most often doing a merge and update, but looks like a copy command. I think that made it friendlier.

How would you separate "merge this directory into that one and update files with the same name" from "copy this directory into that directory"?
I love your website. It's awesome.
I much prefer their comment to yours.
Roseville power and SMUD, that operate right next to PGE and deliver power at a fraction the price, kinda prove you are right.
The mean which captures the most eyes is probably a plot that teens find interesting. Too basic and adults tune out. Too advanced and teens, young adults, and less intelligent or committed adults will turn it off.
From a completely rational point of view, probably not. But there's nothing wrong with indulging in a bit of nostalgia for fun.

From my point of view, cassettes/tapes don't add much from a quality or convenience point of view but there's a certain satisfaction to the mechanical clickiness and chunkiness of the mechanisms which comes with operating most tape players that adds to the experience.
I emphatically disagree. A weak, non-committal response guarantees continued, escalating aggression. This has been amply demonstrated throughout history.

In particular, the West's response in Ukraine is a travesty: just enough weaponry to keep Ukraine going, but not enough for a decisive victory.

Ukraine is currently the only country that can defeat Russia. NATO countries are bound up in the treaty; all they can do is gear up to face Russia's re-militarized economy. The time to nip it in the bud was more than a year ago, before Putin had a chance to consolidate his grip over the country.

Proper leadership is to stand up for what's right, and to be ready to escalate beyond your opponent. However, the ethical principles that underpin "rightness" are missing in the majority of our political leaders.

Ask HN: Open-source/paid embedded email templating
Hi everyone,

In our SaaS software we have offer email notifications and our users want to be able to customize them.

Do you have any embedded email templating widget we can use to let non-technical users customize their templates?

Or would you suggest any alternative such as providing pre-defined templates or integrating with email providers?

How do you answer such needs at your company?
It makes them almost useless in practice.
I enjoyed this book, though it peters out at the end as its topic, the linguistic turn in philosophy, becomes unfashionable. I would have liked a bit more summary, perhaps connecting the period to Chomsky, Pinker and other linguists, who were influenced, even if they rejected this school.
There are two other new books that overlap with the story here: “Metaphysical Animals” and “The women are up to something”, both about the four women philosophers (Murdoch, Foot, Anscombe, and Midgley) that play important but not central roles in this book. If you haven’t read Midgley and are interested in the relationship between science and philosophy, check her out. She recently (2018) passed away at age 99, only shortly after publishing her last book. I think the “coincidence” of three books about the same group of people coming out nearly simultaneously has a lot to do with Midgley passing—both because it was the end of an era and because Midgley gave a lot of interviews and made a lot of information about her life and friends available in her last years.
That’s crazy, I’ve never seen one that dropped whole layers from a pre-trained model. I guess that avoids the sparse matrix math.

If you're willing, you could try to look for a buyer, in case someone else (thinks they) can make the business work. There are marketplaces for small businesses online.

Also, hope you can find help with the alcoholism!
NTSB already investigates certain “commercial” incidents (usually involving railroads or busses but sometimes other transportation).

Self-driving cars should certainly be investigated, even if it’s mostly just a cursory “can we file this as user error” - as the self-driving part is a commercial operation.

As it is the NTSB already records data on various aspects of driving incidents and sometimes notices something and investigates. It’s why it’s worth reporting if you notice safety issues.
That's not how ethical disclosure works.
> Most of the crap told on Apple nowadays are complete memes from the second wave of Apple cultist (most of them arriving with the iPhone) that completely ignore the true history of Apple and how it got to launch such successful products.

Just would like to say that actually the other way happened. Litrpg is a new book genre based on game mechanics. Very dynamic community with lots of amateurs. I would connect it with the pulp fiction movement of the XX century.

You asked me why I’m qualified to have an opinion. I gave you evidence to back up my position. You responded with ad-hominem attacks.

That said, I’m still genuinely interested in what you find loaded about my questions.

Do you disagree that advertisers left? Do you disagree that he was responsible? Do you disagree that this was a bad turn of events?
Back in the 90s I tried to do something clever with page tables. But at the time, some architectures like PA-RISC used virtually tagged caches and it was very hard to make it work on such systems.

Can we assume that we’ll never see such a memory architecture again?

The problem is that moving takes money, and time (which is money). In my case, I am stuck developing a fledgling business in London and I'm too broke and busy to move out.

I've managed to survive like this for a while, so it's probably best for me to make my business profitable from London, than waste time and money I don't have to move to Romania or something.

Honestly my #1 reason to move is not even the expensive rent. It's that I miss the countryside, birdsong and smell of grass so damn much.
I don't think so, it's smaller multicoloured specks. All sorts of interesting colours.
I think that if you strip out the click-bait and over-generalizations of today's workers, you can boil this all down to:

1) A era of the tech bro is waning.

2) Young workers are focused more on less alcohol in their lives, and more on living a healthier lifestyle.
This doesn't matter. Apple will impose "app notarization" (you can distribute apps through alternative app stores BUT apple still approves (or not) apps)

This approval is not optional, not free, and dependent on developer acceptance of a runtime fee. If your app gets installed on >1 million devices, it's 0.5euro per install (heh ... euro, I bet someone in apple management thought that was clever, funny and very insulting to the EU. I get it ... heh. Funny. I hope they'll be made to regret that)

By the way, NO, not just a runtime fee. Also a 10% tax on all payments made through any third party payment service, you don't get to use Apple APIs, ... lots of other limitations.

So they removed the app store requirement, but aren't allowing sideloading (anymore than before), and kept both Apple as gatekeepers AND the fees everyone's complaining about.

So now the question is: does the EU have the balls to restrict apple imports or impose the fines they threatened?
We shoulda leave words like Marxist utopia out of conversations, even communism and capitalism. It shortcut people's thinking.

That said, welfare programs are probably more efficient if they applied more broadly to society as opposed to adding paperwork barriers to people applying for aids.
It's more profitable for them to skirt the law or try to change it. Apple has more money than many governments. They're not really scared. To them regulations (and getting around them) are just a cost of doing business.

I hope the EU layeth the smackdown, because the US isn't gonna do anything.
Will do. I’m further South but up that way occasionally for raw milk!

How? Take for instance OpenSSL mentioned above. I have a software to distribute for multiple Debian versions, starting from Bullseye which uses OpenSSL 1.x and libicu67.
Bookworm the more recent has icu72 and OpenSSL 3.x which are binary-incompatible.
My requirement is that I do only one build, not one per distro as i do not have the manpower or CI availability for this. What's your recommendation?
Telling everyone that groups are bad and everyone else is a potential vector for a deadly disease was bound to have long term negative impacts on socialization, even after those with the megaphone gave the 'All Clear' signal to start conspicuous consumption again. It's amazing how many involved in the pandemic response assumed they could turn off the consequences switch just as easily as they turned it on.
Ask HN: Best tech stack in 2024 to build a fast dashboard web app?
I have a new project that needs a landing page, a signup flow, and a dashboard section displaying some data from a database.

I highly prefer simple, blazing fast websites like Hacker News and Craigslist that load near instantly.

I’ve got a little experience with Rails, React, Java/Kotlin (Android), and node/express.

Is there a particular tech stack that would be suitable for building something where load speed is a priority? I am more than happy to learn a new stack for this project. Thank you!
I think you’ll see all large apps that don’t want to pay Apple their fee pull out to their own app servers. Epic, Facebook, Google etc.
I worked with a startup late last year and they were prerevenue with a small amount of investment. They hired an agency build everything for them. This is why all startups look a like. Founders fear looking messy. The tradeoff is massive. You trade polish for intimately understanding your product and customers. To get there you need to be willing to sit through the mud and dirt of a unpolished product. It is painful and many do not want to do that. So we end up with vanilla products which still can be successful but yea that's basically it
Why bother doing anything difficult or burdensome if one has the option to take the easy route?

This man sounds like he has a real passion for what he does. He's been doing it for quite a long time, and like you pointed out, he could've checked out and got a salary job at some company. He didn't. He gets to live his life doing something exciting that he loves.

Living your life always doing what's safe doesn't sound very intriguing.
Evs were supposed to be cheaper to produce then gas cars. Tesla margins show that. Cut prices 20% and see what happens
Just try Django.
A crappy app that solves a problem would be an upgrade in a lot of cases, rather than a company engineering a problem to justify an app that’s been created.
Hamas' rule is the result of many factors over decades. Obviously the blockade and every other security measure was, at best, short-term responses to Hamas' radicalization, but overall simply one more blow to the fragile illusion of peace, and simply more heat under the pressure cooker of Gaza.
Indeed! Arbitrary text was smuggled into the eval() statement through a weak input sanitization step:

The second quote was not escaped because in the regex $tok =~ /(\\+)$/ the $ will match the end of a string, but also match before a newline at the end of a string, so the code thinks that the quote is being escaped when it’s escaping the newline.

This is why I hate using regexes, or deciphering other people's code which uses them. The syntax just isn't obvious. We need tooling that removes mental overhead, not adds to it. I've always found plain old procedural parsing code easier to formulate, trace and reason about.

I'm not some some fanatic preaching they should be banned from all languages, but I do feel there are places they're inappropriate and input sanitization is one of them. It's also good practice to centralize this sort of logic in some flavor of escape() function to reduce the whack-a-mole when bugs like this are found.
I've never really understood stack based languages. Getting rid of variables only seems make things harder, and you always inevitably need some kind of control flow that isn't stack based (for instance the pair "[" and "]"). In this case, I suppose the advantage is that the stack is shared with C so it's easier to interact over FFI.

From what I've seen of other forths, I much prefer how this one does things. Using quoting as a sort of lambda is much nicer and more consistent than the weird compilation semantics you see in stuff like GForth.
Awesome content, and Julia is very good at recognizing what people need to know to understand the whole thing
This was fixed in version 12.24 (back in 2021) according to the version history page[0], but the current version still uses "eval" in several places[1]. This seems like an unnecessarily dangerous approach – wouldn't it have been a good idea to fix all the instances in the codebase after the bug was discovered?

We have enough issues with DNS that adding split DNS into the mix is a ball ache I don't want to contend with.

We actually have the DNS for our private domain set publicly, and all the actual work happens on a load balancer which is on the network. We're fully remote so this avoids the "my communal WiFi provider seems to have issues with the VPN" (which is what we had when we used split DNS)
> An OTP must have particular properties that words in a book don’t have to be provably secure. However, common materials that the communicators have access to without specific distribution can be useful for OTPs in their own way (though not provably secure).

Using a passage from a book directly as an OTP is not secure at all. It's similar to the result of reusing an OTP: it gives an attacker two messages in (e.g.) English whose sum (using a book as an OTP) or difference (reused OTP) is known. Since the entropy of English is around a bit per character (more or less), and the deltas reveal almost lg(26) ~ 4.7 bits per character, knowing the sum or difference can determine most of the contents of the message in either case.

Reading every n'th letter in the book is probably marginally harder to break, but I still wouldn't rely on it for anything serious.

Horizon zero dawn has great writing and storytelling too
VC money is more readily available than in the 70s, which means startups staff up faster, which means more ability to polish around the edges. I’d say the core functionality is often similarly incomplete, but design, packaging, docs, localization, etc. are more complete aka polished.
> Specifically if there's a complexity tax in offloading that makes the CPU-alone faster

Anecdotal, but I played with a bunch of models recently on a machine with a 16GB AMD GPU and 64GB of system memory/12 core CPU. I found offloading to significantly speed things up when dealing with large models, but there was seemingly an inflection point as I tested models that approached the limits of the system, where offloading did seem to significantly slow things down vs just running on the CPU.
It was a time in history which had such an insanely wide gap between the elite and the common folk, and when there was zero to little literacy among the common folk, and basically no written history of them...

Yes, the aristocracy was profoundly Norman French & French influenced. But I'm willing to bet the vast majority of actual humans were speaking English -- with various levels of influence from Danish/Old Norse -- and completely unable to process French words of any kind and encountering it about 0 times in their daily lives.

Even today the level of "class" and "sophistication" of an English language user is unconsciously tied to how many Latin & French origin words they toss into their speech and writing.

Sorry, I've seen it before and I'm sure you have too --- Google users/fans hiding behind a moniker arguing that the loss of their privacy is no big deal.
You have to always look at the world probabilistically, and not focus entirely on results. Take a current event for example. Right now Texas has declared that they are under invasion [1], giving them a superseding constitutional right to self defense above and beyond Federal orders, and that's put them on the track for a direct conflict with Federal forces, should Biden choose to push the matter.

One person might say this is ultimately going to lead to a civil war. Another person might say in a month, this will all have completely blown over. Both outcomes are possible, and so what matters is the probability. There was obviously a probability that COVID turned into what it did, there was also a probability that it simply ended up being one of the zillion other localized little nasty plagues that emerges in nations and ends up remaining localized.

I'm certain you'd be surprised to learn of all the zillion potentially cataclysmic issues facing us all on a literally daily basis. That's how you get these hind-sight reports about how everything was always known but not acted on. Well yes, it was seen as a possibility and a potentially cataclysmic one - but ultimately the call was made that it probably would not come to pass. And the thing is, that may have been the case that 99.99% of the time, that would have been the right call. And we got to live through the .01%. It could also have been a completely idiotic call. Seeing leaked probabilistic modeling could help, but even then - models can be wrong, as they quite often were (frequently to an absurd degree) during COVID times. So, even there it's not so simple.

This is exactly what it is. It’s actually a tax, basically a back door to raise prices across the board and generate huge revenues, disingenuously passed under the auspices of equity and fair share politics.

Also, now the state government has detailed access to income based billing of every citizen, all set up and ready to go. But I’m sure it will never be used for anything else.

The idea here was to charge an income-based fixed charge to cover the costs of infrastructure, nebulous future “climate investments” and “general operation” (read: offload costs to generate more profits), and then cut the rates for the electricity that’s actually used. Lower rates, the theory goes, will encourage all Californians to buy new electric appliances and electric cars.

But all that’s going to happen is that the cost will go up, and the three companies that sponsored this bill will make massive profits as they shift more of the cost of infrastructure onto rate payers and play the “investment game” they’ve been at for 30 years: the game that’s killed hundreds of people and burned entire cities off the map.

But this time will be different I’m sure.
Agreed, some of the best in any game I’ve played.

The Last of Us and Witcher 3 also have excellent writing.
Passion. You’re right - its a terrible ROI.

But the answers passion. And that’s fine, just don’t complain about income then (which the author doesnt seem to be doing).

I wrote an alarm clock script (on the pine phone itself during my commute) which I need to publish it (wakes up right before _the alarm_ from deep sleep to sound an alarm).

There's lots of missing functionality (like an alarm clock that sets an RTC wakeup) but overall it is a cool system that I intend on using and hacking on again in the near future
