some of the code comments are also enjoyable. For example the "Sigh" cracks me up:

Mark Zuckerberg joins struggle over Harvard's future
One of the apartments I lived in was designed for folks with physical disabilities (despite me lacking said disabilities, the leasing office insisted I was totally eligible to move into it, so I did). Among the myriad quirks with it (wider doors, slightly-lower countertops) was the bathtub: twice as wide as usual, with lots of handles.

I miss that bathtub. Even a stereotypically-American obese tub of lard like myself could fit comfortably in it.
In contrast to sibling comment, I think you have a “content site” then you don't really need a framework. Vanilla can be enough.

However, there is no clear line between a content site and a web app. That’s why I suggest that, as a rule, if you see front-end becoming so complex that a full-blown framework is a must, then it might save you in future if you architect it as a separate project. (As sibling comment points out, it doesn’t need to compromise the ability to render static HTML and degrade in UAs without JavaScript.)
Ask HN: Are you using MSSQL at work, is it popular?
I was recently trying to figure out if MSSQL is still a widely used db and as a proxy i searched HN. It seems it's only mentioned in comments from time to time but very rarely an article specifically related to it (comparing to Postgres/mysql related articles). Is this specific to HN or is MSSQL just not that widely used outside big enterprises?

Are you are using it, what language do you use to develop applications against it? Is NodeJS/TS an option?

Asking because i was thinking of developing something like PostgREST/Hasura for MSSQL in TypeScript.

Do you think your company could need/use something like that?
I think he's off a little in this part:

> Zoozve orbits one thing: the sun. It spends all day every day doing that. BUT Venus also has a teeny gravitational toehold on it such that it ALSO ORBITS VENUS AT THE SAME TIME.

> It’s a whole new category of thing. Something that orbits a star and a planet at once. Something that is not a moon, but also not not a moon.

> They call it … a quasi-moon.

> Astronomers had been speculating that such an object could exist for 100+ years, but this was the first time anyone saw one … not only in our solar system but in the entire universe!!

He then goes one to describe how weird the paths of quasi-moons can be.

Where I think he's off is that it was not that Zoozve was orbiting both the Sun and Venus that was new. Astronomers have for hundreds of years known of a case of something orbiting both the Sun and a planet (see below).

What was new was the weirdness of the orbit.

The long known example of something orbiting both the Sun and a planet is the Moon. The Wikipedia article on the orbit of the moon [1] has a plot showing a section of the Earth's and Moon's trajectories around the Sun and you can see from it that they both trace a convex shape. That's because the Sun's pull on the Moon is about twice as strong as the Earth's.

From the Sun's point of view both Earth and Moon are in separate orbits that have been distorted so that they are rounded dodecahedrons. They are like two cyclists racing on a circular track, taking turns passing each other on the inside but at all times both are turning left.

Compare to other (non-quasi) moons. Most (all?) of them are more attracted gravitationally to their planet than to the Sun. The plots would not be convex. From the Sun's point of view plots of their paths would look like something from a spirograph.

If alien astronomers knew of the Earth and Moon but did not know their sizes, so all they had was their masses and orbits, they would probably actually classify them as a double planet rather than a planet and a moon.

What disqualifies the Moon from being a planet under the current Earth astronomy definition is that the center of mass of the Earth/Moon system is below the surface of the Earth.

> Sucky platforms that were never good enough, always some weird piece of software that you thought was benign gunking up your system.

This is a category error. Your iPhone isn't more stable because Apple charges a premium to developers so that they can invite you to use their apps, it's more stable because of all of the good decisions they make technically around the platform.

Your iPhone isn't more stable because Apple refuses to allow competition to their apps. Just like you mentioned elsewhere, if you don't want third party apps, do not install them. Please do not come for my freedom to run the apps I please. Don't piss on me and call it rain.

Your Mac is also a very nice experience, but Apple isn't gouging and restricting the developers of your favorite Mac apps (much), so no one is complaining about MacOS.
Sounds like you've done it, Senator!
Firstly, the conflict in the GAZA strip is war.

Pure and simple.

Realistically this war is being fought politically in the worlds media. The fight is for public opinion.
So the orders of the IJC are about war.
The hair splitters may want to change the nature of war to "genocide" by one side rather than condemn BOTH sides in the conflict.
"but we can only take evidence from XYZ and only on matters ABC"

It seems to me to be a case of the UN wanting to have a seat at the table. They have become more & more irrelevant in matters of real importance or conflict. This ruling is pretty meaningless regardless of what your beliefs are. Its just more media circus.

We can argue about statistics and false testimony who is right and which side is credible but we are just adding to the noise.

Most terrorist organizations & actions are the direct result of one group having no political power. It ceases when that group obtains political power.

It seems to me the original attack by HAMAS was simply to ensure that there is more war and that war can be fought in the worlds media. This ruling and the whole procedure is just more of the same.

Wars usually continue to be prosecuted till one (or both) side loses the political will to continue. Does anyone here really believe Israel will lose that political will, regardless of world opinion? Hasn't in the past.
Just like Russia.
I back up TBs with restic, never had issues. When I need a file, I mount the remote repository. The mount is fast with S3.

You will only be effective in a high performant environment. The way you conduct yourself is considered toxic by most people.

I would press you to either make some consolations on your lack of response and ignoring of messages.

Giving weapons to Ukraine wasn’t about helping Ukraine; it was about opposing Russia.

Israel is a strategic ally in the Middle East that also happens to have many high profile supporters in the US. There’s likely enormous pressure from within to do just about nothing and just let it play out.

Peace, unfortunately, is a conveniently flexible concept employed to conceal one’s motives and justify frivolous wars.
Last time I installed Windows 11, I found that I could not skip the 'use a Microsoft account as your local account' that Microsoft really encourages. In anger I spammed the back and forward button ~5 times.

Suddenly, the option to setup Windows 11 with a local account appeared.

Microsoft has lost whatever initial magic helped them make a good OS, it's all corporatism now.

Some details on the early days of D&D, from a now MIA 2008 Boing Boing post, based in a recycled Joel Johnson 2003 Gygax interview (originally posted in kcgeek.com it says):

> Palestinians have over the years engaged in many good faith peace talks.

So has Israel

> Honored their side of many cease-fire agreements.

So has Israel

> The status quo (before Oct 7) was pretty great for Israel and terrible for the Palestinians.

The status quo was partially the result of Israel being repeatedly attacked.

> Palestinians will gladly take any serious peace deal, even if that deal strongly favors Israeli interests, because the status quo is unbearable.

I think that if this was the case, October 7th would not have happened, Hamas would have surrendered, and the hostages would have been returned.

Having said this, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is highly complex.
It legal to have a certain limit of plastic in it.

But does it matter? Food touches plastic throughout the preparation phase. Most factories have plentiful plastic components. Workers have plastic gloves. Then the final product is wrapped in plastic.

Removing it from feed wouldn’t do much in terms of exposure.
Ancient Viruses, Dengue,More Diseases: Visitors as the World Heats Up
To be quite honest, demanding an ADHD individual deal with focus-thieves on their own and claiming that it is "toxic" to set boundaries that enable them to do their best work is kinda like expecting a recovering alcoholic to work at a liquor store and saying that it's "toxic" for them to refuse to do so.
What are the negative effects?
I addressed that in my very short comment; not sure where I wasn't clear. With Israel itself admitting that they are killing roughly 2 civilians for every Hamas fighter they kill, why would you think any civilian in Palestine would trust Israel or be interested in working with them?

The fact that it might make logical sense to you or I that they should is entirely irrelevant. We're not there, and if we were, I doubt we'd be much driven by logic at this point. Not to mention we wouldn't have had access to the internet or regular communications with anyone for months now, and only see the death and devastation.
Agreed; but sometimes it just feels like these award committees have no sense of timing and it often appears like a case of "too little too late". Awards should be given as soon as a person's discoveries/inventions have been validated and when people are still aware of them to make an impact on public consciousness.

I remember living downtown San Jose last year and being charged $0.75/kWh and it was mostly due to a mandatory 50% upcharge for green power. Totally bullshit.
yes it is accurate and a rhetorical dog whistle for extremist approaches to making Palestinian civilians inseparable from Hamas

it is also accurate that it was 18 years ago

empathy shouldnt be that hard
The Normans were ethnically Vikings from Norway (i.e. North-men). In 911 the Franks made a treaty giving them Normandy so they would stop raiding and ally with France. After a while they resumed their raiding habits, invaded England and also Sicily and southern Italy. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Norman-people
Russia has half a dozen WWVB-like shortwave radio time signals which would be far more suitable for that purpose.
> So you basically want to force your preferences on me

No one is forcing you to install third party apps. Are you really unable to control the impulse to install third party app stores on your device? You need Apple to stop you from doing something you don't want to do in the first place?

Just because you want to stick in the Apple approved apps doesn't mean that I should have to do the same on my own iPhone.
Why does this keep happening? I loved Pebble, they get butchered. I replace it with Fossil, now they quit.

All I want is a simple watch with simple features that doesn't require charging every day. Their hybrid line with some sort of e-ink (like) display really is perfect to me.
I’m worried about investing in Fedora after some of the moves Red Hat has made over the past several years. Such as pulling the rug out from under CentOS, and putting their source behind a paywall (along with most of their knowledge base).
That's a very condescending accusation you've made, but okay I'll bite. How exactly does the OS prevent this? Just to be very clear, the scenario is:

1) The app requests access to the microphone.

2) The user grants the app access to the microphone.

3) The app, now having microphone access, processes the user's voice command and does what is requested.

4) The app also uploads the voice recording to their backend and later sells the voice recording to someone else.

What mechanism in the operating system do you believe prevents (4) from occurring?
I love Lazer cutting because the drawing format is SVG and therefore it's very easy to to write parametric generators in the programming language of your choice! So it's very easy to connect the physical object to some larger app, like 3d visualizing the expected output or assembly instructions and remain parametric throughout.

I'me using observable notebooks to design some things https://observablehq.com/d/1117987aeab1be0d
I've written plenty of PHP, mostly out of necessity, but I find the language to be hideous. It's like they took only the worst parts of other languages and piled it all in to one full of `$` and `->` for no good reason. I've been a Ruby programmer for the last 15 years, but I spent 6 years writing lots of MFC flavored C++ and Java and I honestly can't fathom why given the opportunity to improve the language starting around PHP 5 they made the choices they did. It's like they saw good things other languages had and just did lazy imitations with the worst possible syntax. Composer is a half assed copy of Bundler and I still can't believe that a global php.ini is a thing.

> Mexico has better chances of winning against the US and driving out the Americans than Hamas has against Israel. Hamas has no advanced military capability.

I disagree.
This isn't Hamas alone, Hamas is backed by Iran. Big proxy armies have been built by Iran and are surrounding Israel - mostly in Lebanon and Syria and now also Yemen. Hundreds of thousands of different kinds of rockets - many of them accurate with big warheads.
As for moral support - significant parts of the Muslim world and the Western liberal elites are promoting and supporting the idea that Israel should be dismantled (The Muslims mostly see this done by force. The liberal left by sanctions, but are sympathetic to the idea of violent struggle because of 'oppression').

As for the chances of this working out - I don't think it's low at all. With a patient strategy like this it can eventually happen. They've been at it for around 100 years why can't they go on for another 100?
But whatever I think about the chances, I'm positive most Palestinians themselves and the resistance axis supporting them are quite confident in their chances and feel religiously compelled to keep it up.

> After all, Palestinians stand to gain much more by a sustained peace than Israel does

This is a Western approach, not how Palestinians think. You either don't read what the Palestinians are saying or you don't believe them. When they say from the river to the sea - they mean it. It's a big part of their national and religious identity, not something they can give up for a small 1967 border state. Sure, they would have had better GDP and lives had they taken a 67 state with no occupation etc, but that would break their dreams and passions and identities and somewhat their religious beliefs. Those things are more important to them them than safety and GDP, as irrational as it may seem to you.
I wish I was wrong about all this but nothing I've seen over the years led me to feel like I'm wrong.
rclone also has a "universal" file explorer. I haven't found any other such explorer.

Vision Insurance: Does it Make Sense? All You Need to Know
OP I think you got dinged for self-promotion (maybe it’s supposed to be a Show HN?) but I purchased and it’s good, and very topical!
Hah yes at my old apartment it was easier to leave all the doors open and wait outside until the fumes cleared (with an easy view in to check for issues), but at my new apartment fume extraction is such an issue that I have stopped using the system.

The robot is coming along! We completed a ground up redesign of the robot and it is waking up every day in the field and running test cycles on solar power. I have been refining the electronics. I got back new revs of the motherboard and motor controllers and both work well, though I already see additional changes I want to make. I designed a new steering angle sensor that dramatically simplifies the corner assembly. We are working on moving the shop closer to my house so I can go in to low volume production on prototypes. This will allow us to get long term reliability testing done! Then we would start looking at kit sales and publishing official recommended designs for those that want to make their own.

It has been a hell of a slog, so I have not produced a video in a while. Hope to get one out in 1H 2024.
You're assuming that (a) reviewers not finding any methodology flaws in the paper means there are none, and (b) no flaws in the paper means no flaws in the work. Neither of those are good assumptions. And that's just the generically applicable arguments.

For the Second Law, Arthur Eddington had this to say:

> ...If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations... But if your theory is found to be against the Second Law of Thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.

> Google takeout consistently failed, downloading consistently failed

I get extra angry about situations like this. I have paid Google many thousands of dollars over the years for their services. I just assume that one of the fundamentals of a company like that would be handling large files even if it’s for a fairly small percentage of customers. I get that their feature set is limited. I kind of get that they don’t provide much support.

But for the many compromises I make with a company that size, I feel like semi-competent engineering should be one of the few benefits I get besides low price and high availability.
