Even Search, the rumors are true, has really gotten worse. After hearing about it here, I did a Kagi trial and didn't hesitate to buy a year of unlimited searches when it was up.

It's hard to quantify the difference but Kagi really feels like it's working with me instead of just trying to sell me garbage.
In hindsight yes, most of this is true, but it is not guaranteed that all of this would have happened.

Wehrmacht rapid advance was stopped, but it didn't yet mean pushing them out would have been possible without tremendous material support through lend lease, without what there wouldn't have been any adequate Red Army logistics and armor.

USSR was able to produce around 40 000 tanks and this force overwhelmed German armor capacity, but they were able build this much only considering that US provided 400 000 trucks, if it was not so, considerable amount of tank building capacity would have to had been shared to build trucks, but even then the steel to build tanks came from US. On top of this USSR got 14 000 planes and also rail wagons and engines.

If there was a pipe dream then it was Red Army countering Wehrmacht without US material support. Russians like to minuscule the importance of US support but it was substantial and most likely essential for their victory.

It takes very little effort at all to flag stories that I'm convinced are both colorably off-topic, or duplicative of other marginally topical stories that have run within the last year, and that I'm convinced will create nightmare threads. That's the purpose of the flagging system. That system is also monitored, so that people who abuse it as a super-downvote for stories they just don't like quietly lose flagging powers. So: I plan to keep on doing it.

Remember though: we're not having this conversation so you can persuade me to change how I use the site. I'm just one doofus here. Wha ye need tae worry about are the t'ousand doofuses standing behind me. (_The Devil's Own_, 1997, starring Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford).
I would just like to see people copy some of Apple's UI functionality inside Quest apps. The official YouTube app can do the standard flat panels that any Quest app can do, but it's limited to living inside the 1x3 app row that all flat Quest apps are bound to. The thing I like best about the Vision Pro is that it's MR-first and apps can be placed and anchored anywhere without being locked to each other. That's not implemented in the base UI of Quest yet, but it could be implemented inside an app like YouTube, allowing either virtual screens or various levels of immersive 3D to be anchored to spots in a room. With the v62 update, the Quest can now bring up its 1x3 app row while running an immersive app and also save multiple rooms. My dream YouTube app would be something that could play videos anchored to spots in various rooms while also running regular 2d apps through the standard Quest interface. For example, imagine that you had your favorite news program attached to your refrigerator and a night sky view attached to your bedroom ceiling and a 3D jungle instead of the brick wall outside your apartment if you have an unlucky view. This is obviously beyond the scope of this app right now, but I think there will be interest among Quest owners to run apps that copy some of the MR-focused features of the Vision Pro interface and expand upon them. Using something like an embedded web view with a nice interface and then incorporating some anchoring abilities would be enough to expand the usability of something like a video player. And although this app doesn't run 3D videos, I think that's more of a limitation of the Safari APIs right now. Something using the Quest browser's native ability to run 3D video should theoretically work.
Author here. I think all the buzz that this is getting make me want to give it another shot. I'll probably throw away most of the code and start from scratch though - one thing I learned from programmers much smarter than me is that the first solution is never the best one.
I've configured at least 3 VPCs in the last decade which were exactly that.

Literally one instance with VPC service endpoints deployed and an egress NAT gateway. Surprisingly common when you have a random shitbox which sucks data up from somewhere and doesn't fit within the constraints of a Lambda or something. They mostly exist to tick the compliance and architectural documents which are all under AWS "best practices".

Note that I do not consider AWS "best practices" to be best practices necessarily. In fact a lot of time they are completely over-engineered against hypothetical scenarios which if they did happen, fixing some EC2 integration shitbox would not even remotely be the first problem you had to worry about.

But someone demands it and someone pays for it and Bezos ain't complaining so meh!
I feel you. Can you mention these exceptions - that's exactly what I'm interested in.
That’s an explanation, not a cop out. It’s saying it’s a problem with management’s incentives and presumably not easily corrected before they have a good CEO.
Especially when none of it brings anything new. A lot of the AI announcements are from companies who are basically saying "we can send what you typed through GPT-4 with maybe a slightly specialized system prompt". And when it comes to blogs, there's only so many times one can tolerate reading the same exact arguments for or against AI.

I don't know why this has happened with both AI and cryptocurrency that people feel personally attacked when others just don't want to be bombarded with it 24/7.
> Genetic extermination is the same as genocide

No, it isn't. Nobody is "exterminating" the Japanese. They're culturally unsustainable.

It's not fucking Genocide when you're doing it to yourself. There's no Panda Holocaust either.

> When the program starts running, you might think it starts at main. It doesn’t! It actually goes to _start. This does a bunch of Very Important Things that I don’t understand very well, including calling main. So I won’t explain them.

The way I understand it, the symbol main is a C-specific thing. The symbol _start is a language-agnostic entry point for the binary that will in this case call main.

A convention of i.e. calling the entry point _start with main's argc/argv would make the format a lot less flexible.
I’ll be blunt. You were being a perfectionist. That is a guaranteed way to kill momentum and ensure you never have any fun.

So the algorithm wasn’t great and the map was slow. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I get it, you have a vision in your head for how you want it to work and it wasn’t there yet. But this is actually a psychology problem and not a project problem.

People gathered up to see public hangings. We just love to see a fight. When Gary Tan acts like a monkey, people line up to see it. Same reason why Elon draws a crowd. Calling people a pedo is the online equivalent of a fist fight and we humans love it.

Should Gary Tan quit over this? Of course not. I think the fact that people put others on a pedestal is a mistake in the first place.
you are confused they didn't "nationalizes" banks

they were never independent to begin with. you have a naive comparison and force it uncritically into this conversation.
Thanks for this! I also like Pointer, although they have more and more sponsored stuff lately imo. Terminal trove sounds great, I like terminals a lot (who doesn't)
This takes me back to my own first experiences 'hacking' and tinkering with the guts of a computer system, which put me on the path to a career in IT and engineering:

- Breaking the family computer with a trojan pirating Halo PC, which I then had to figure out how to fix before my dad got home

- Circumventing the NetNanny, etc parental controls my parents randomly decided to install on our personal computers several years after us kids had already been using the internet (edit: okay, there may have been a letter from Comcast re: the above sloppy piracy). Restoring my netbook to useful functionality without leaving a trace of modification introduced me to Linux Live CDs, and Linux!

Good to know tomorrow's hackers are still getting that education today!
> We should assume they instinctively know and can do it, like has been done for millions of years.

Why should we assume that? My own parents seemed to be generally clueless about parenting. I assume that our ancient ancestors were generally clueless too. Instinct is for animals, learning and science for humans.
Ahhh ... so your point is that you can write a horrible system in any format?

Sure, of course you can.
There's a difference between deep tech research (which truly can be revolutionary) and "revolutionary" consumer gizmos. I don't think the analogy holds.
lmao I'm still at the "I'm not touching that baby, I'll drop and break it" phase.

It should be basic right or set mandatory by government like early education schools for kids.
Oh so true. Adobe also had a product that is the same concept as Webflow, called InFlow (if I am not mistaken), and killed it, before Webflow existed. Some of its employe went to work for Webflow.
not allow private companies to accumulate so much capital by breaking them up and taxing them fairly. then use the budget for things like single payer healthcare and affordable housing
Yes, I lost my mind raising a kitten. SO MUCH ENERGY, running around at 2 am, chewing on random shit non-stop, $3k in emergency vet bills, finding overnight pet sitters for vacations, kitten-proofing my apartment (basically same as baby-proofing it). I can only imagine a baby would be 10x more effort and cost. Now I love him more than anything, but it steeled my decision to get a vasectomy.
Oil supply is fairly demand inelastic, if demand for oil drops, we'll almost certainly see cheaper oil. And if OPEC sees the writing on the wall they're going to price aggressively as long as they can.
In this instance, I'm not sure why the author is giving up.

That said, I do find in industry it's worth knowing how and when to kill a project. I always push for the creation of a kill list when ideation begins.
I think generally it works well- when there are actual major events like early COVID or Ukraine - HN managed to inform we way ahead of mass media with various interesting sources. But I’m happy to have a “news” thing pop up only a few times a year. You’re gonna have someone be mad about every instance when you moderate
It also doesn't help the training pipeline silos people like this in colleges with certain prescribed course requirements or closing off certain classes to nonmajors. We already force people to take english/second language/cultural/physical education credits to "round them out" according to the liberal arts philosophy. Might as well modernize this and require people to take some units of programming as well as statistics (although statistics unfortunately suffers from having too much boring/high school rehash/not that useful fundamentals to cover before you can get into the sort of testing you'd do on the job as a data scientist).
In the short time I have doing open records requests, presistence is key.

Usually, first, you have to fail or get some information. Then you send another request. Then another, and you start to drill down. I have also inadvertently received unredacted information, which led me to more requests. I have 5 records requests with Colorado, on the 5th request, someone picked up the phone and helped me solve a problem.

In my particular case, I set out to fight the government. My purpose was specifically if I am having issues with the government services then people with less resources and time are even more disadvantaged than myself. So I'm fighting the battle for them and my civic duty... It's also why I wear black (Johnny Cash reference.)

If it's cops harrassing you then, I'm willing to bet they are doing it to others as well.

The beauty of chapGPT is it can write emails for you with little effort on your part.
What about the dark web? It’s already not trying to be too visible and I assume many participants would be happy to jump through hoops.

Or something crypto. Pay to your IPv6 address, or nodes must be IPv6.

Or social network.

I dunno, I've spoken to old people who have gotten hip replacement, and they told me they regret they didn't do it sooner, as it allowed them to golf again, etc. Seems like in some cases, it isn't "the same", it's actually better.
The US military is retooling for war in the far-flung islands of East Asia. The Valor's range and speed advantage is critical there, and combined with its technical maturity, made it an almost shoe-in for winning this competition. It's also useful for the Marines who are reorienting completely around East Asia, so Bell may get to sell some to them too.

The Defiant is pretty cool though and I hope there's a commercial future for it. It may be attractive for large multinationals to replace their corporate helicopter fleets with, or for industrial uses that need a helicopter with greater load-lifting capacity than most others.
>... with the album that was originally meant to be the soundtrack.

I'm confused - this is the music that's used as the soundtrack. Are you just saying that you want a music-only version of the film?
This is a very naive perspective. As a parent for the last 20 years, I had no idea what I was doing and did a shitty job of the first decade. And to this day I see people making the same mistakes I did.

I definitely get it, but I just think it's being overly pedantic to try and make the point. The meanings of words change with the culture and I don't think this is an exception. English if rife with examples of colloquial uses that depart from their original meanings.

The word "awful" derives from "inspiring awe."

"Fathom" used to mean "to encircle with one's arms."

"Myriad" used to mean, very specifically, 10,000 instances of an item.

"Hussy" used to mean housewife.

Etc. etc.

In this era, I think most people assume "recall" to mean "a required fix" not necessarily "a trip to the car dealership."

Presumably because the `larger mapping infrastructure` doesn't deem a filterable list of pinball machines to make monetary sense, or fit into their overall product without adding clutter.

I presume the same is true for the IMDB. They have their own list of things they are interested in, and firearms or cars may not be on that list.

It's almost like different people/organizations have different interests and priorities.

Canada has a large swatch of categories for immigration and does not have high standards across the board.

I have no strong opinions immigration which is a hot topic currently but I do want to clarify that your assertion is incorrect.

> it is not 90 days total per year, but the officials are strict on it.

That may have been what I was thinking, I recall on my first trip there, they were pretty strict and wanted to know exactly where I was staying I even had to show them on the map. For my wife's tourist visa we had to apply to a travel agency that was a liaison with the Japan embassy (The Japan embassy required it, you couldn't apply directly in her country) and the process was very tedious, we had to include a day-by-day itinerary, and all kinds of documentation. All that to say I guess when I hear that Japan is strict about something, I just take that as it's not worthwhile to try and get around it.
I'm 39 and pretty sure I have no idea how to raise a child.

I mean, I have dogs. They have to be fed. One often doesn't tell me when he needs to go out because he's anxious. The other I can't walk with the other dog because he'll try to fight other dogs for whatever reason, so I walk them separately. Every being has nuances you have to work around feeding them and keeping them safe. Who knows what my kid would be like but they're my kid.

Maybe it is just pretty innate but that doesn't mean I know the best way to do it. I don't know HOW to train my dogs well, I know how I train my dogs. But without learning how professionals etc do it I'm not min-maxing, basically.

I've had a hard time training that one dog to let me know he needs to go out. He just doesn't tell me. So I've been looking around for better ways to do it.

I almost given up on my little dog being reactive to other dogs. It sucks. Poor guy never gets to go on walks but I can't keep him calm, I don't know his past life, and I'm by no means a dog trainer.
Props to encore to writing interesting blogs, also I just want to say I tried the encore product and it's awesome(I only used it for a hobby project but still)
Microsoft just nuked their shared global time limits across devices. They force you to split the time up now.
So if I was parent in a family of 6-7 I just tell little Timmy that he has to stay home while the rest of us go to the movies? Yeah, that’ll fly.
You actually believe that an intruder gained access to their KB/Tickets and didn't manage to get valuable information? That's not what Jira is for. If you know what Jira is for, and you're willing to run it on-prem, then you know the purpose of doing all that work is because you have something valuable to store in there.

I don't believe they didn't lose anything. That's not how this works, and most Jira/Confluence I've seen is loaded with secrets.
Yet, you see William and many other medieval rulers, panicking and repenting on their deathbeds.
I don't really understand this comment, basically no part of it is true.
The typical behavior is that DNS returns an IPv6 address, then whatever-it-is sits there until a timeout, because it’s simply not being routed. I’ve not investigated further because turning off IPv6 fixes the problem and breaks nothing (that I care about). Anything that only returns an IPv4 address from DNS works either way.

My cellular connection supports IPv6, but testing sites report it’s misconfigured in a bunch of ways. I don’t see problems in practice, though. But on my home network, it’s turned off.
I really dislike this view of the world. Maybe VR is a folly but the innovation we have gotten in this world has come from “burning money”, sometimes it does not work out.

I also how simple we like to make the argument. How we could have instead spent money that “benefited everyone”. Who decides that? I don’t think governments, nonprofits, or other gatherings of people do a better job and probably are actually much worse at it.
> Less traffic in data-rich apps (even taking into account compression, HTML is heavier than JSON and not just due to syntax overhead - consider all those page headers, footers and other common parts)

> Better UX for slow networks: even in countries with 5G coverage there are still a lot of corners where your device will struggle to connect. SPA can auto-retry, just showing the spinning wheel longer. Browser will show the timeout page, and who knows if the backend can correctly recover on refresh.

It's more often the converse in my experience. If you have a slow or flaky connection, making many API requests to get all the data your SPA needs to fulfill an interaction yields worse UX than just asking a server to process it all and give back a final result for the interaction. The round trips are the killer there.
Take your household/tribe and that puppy to dog training class, too.
Sure, there never was a shortage of different ipv4/ipv6 transition/interop mechanisms. Problem has been that many of them haven't been all that great, and understanding the use-cases, compromises, and tradeoffs between the options can be very difficult, especially when vendors and operators like to tout their own tech.

To this day I'm not sure what are the best options available now for different scenarios. 4rd/MAP-T/MAP-E/464XLAT/Dslite, nat64/siit/a+p, these things are enough to get your head spinning
> Everything is chemicals.

This is a thought terminating cliche and pedantically destroys the conversation.
Western society and especially the US are wide open to manipulation, the unregulated nature of the internet + free speech are an amazing propaganda weapon for foreign adversaries (it’s likely a significant portion of posters on this site are part of influence campaigns, and a certainty on the big social networks).

Not saying grievances in TX are not from real Texans, but like during BLM they are being played and manipulated for wider outside goals. Absolutely nothing good would come out of an attempt at secession or civil war, Americans do not have a realistic assessment of what horrors await if we go down that route.
Sure. But we're talking about needing the same API for two separate clients...

That infers building both and I'm questioning why you would build both if they're identical. Just build one and get your users to use it
