> investment is needed for returns

What returns? A very important part of "investing" is ensuring your losing positions are cut early and cut fast, its not continuously putting money into a black hole hoping one day the worst of the worst magically becomes the best of the best.

The rest of your comment is you being quite inconsistent, and frankly, a position that is full of lies.

Exactly, high absorption creates the localized cells each of which is typically limited in the number of (transmitting) devices. For something like this long range IoT cell to work you would want to create temporal cells or limit them to very low power. The problem is that those require agreement between devices (and noise sources) while simple absorption doesn't (treats everything equally).

I left Spotify, in part due to this.

Set up an Apple Music account and then one for the child. However car rides still contaminate my music as my phone is the one plugged in, and I’m left back where I started.

It badly needs some sort of ‘exclude this artist, always’ option.

For me this would be indistinguishable from a ‘no Taylor Swift’ option.

When I use python on my microcontroller, it's really just configuring and driving peripherals like the ESP32 RMT. But I have implemented interrupt handlers that handle microsecond-level timing events in python (closed loop camera/light flash/stepper motors). The only reason this works is modern microcontrollers have tons of CPU and memory.

I had a python-based game of life that drove a 16x16 LED panel but the frame rate wasn't very good so I rewrote it in C++.

"The U.S. Munitions List changes over time. Until 1996–1997, ITAR classified strong cryptography as arms and prohibited their export from the U.S.[5]

Another change occurred as a result of Space Systems/Loral's conduct after the February 1996 failed launch of the Intelsat 708 satellite. The Department of State charged Space Systems/Loral with violating the Arms Export Control Act and the ITAR.[6][7]

As a result, technology pertaining to satellites and launch vehicles became more carefully protected."

"real" outside isn't good enough to work in, so i'll pay $3500 to work in a fake outside in my own house and wear that headset while i'm in real outside to tailor this outside to my preferences.

interpreted another way: "real" outside is nice, but everything costs more money than i want to spend, so i'll spend $3500 once (or $1500 to buy the 1G headset) to create infinite "outsides" that i don't have to spend more money on

like, are we actually okay with this???

this might be me showing my age (late 30s) but i'm actually scared of this technology becoming mainstream and destroying whatever semblance of society we have left.

exmaple: why should people go to bars when they can just strap on a vision pro and put themselves in a bar that's perfect for them while drinking their own supply in their own home?

if that takes off, then anyone who actually likes going to real bars (me, for ex.) are basically forced into the virtual bars since real bars as a whole won't be economically viable anymore.

extended out further, walkable cities won't be necessary since everyone will be interacting through these kinds of headsets in their home, self-driving cars will be the only kinds of cars that are legal to drive, and most businesses would have moved into the metaverse since that's where the money is

i'm basically afraid of Ready Player One becoming real

Was using Postgres Aurora RDS at a startup client last year, and the Aurora costs were through the roof. We had some moderately inefficient union queries that burned through credits like no tomorrow. Just a handful of users lightly using the system cost about $3,000 a month.

I loved everything else about it.

Edit: it was real estate market data, so only about 15 million rows.
That's not true. They support Android, iOS, and MacOS. I agree it's disappointing that they don't support Linux, but it is by definition cross-platform.
Show HN: `npx tmole <port>` – No-Install Public URL for Locally Running Services
I'm excited to introduce a quick and easy way to provide public access to your locally running services: `npx tmole <port>`. It utilizes Tunnelmole (1), an open-source tunneling tool, without any need to explicitly install anything.

Here's how it works: `npx tmole <port>` sets up a tunnel via the service at tunnelmole.com. The Public URL provided in the output will then direct to your locally running web service.

Getting started is as simple as running `npx tmole <port>`. For instance, if your service is running on port 3000, use `npx tmole 3000`.

You'll need to have NodeJS for this to work.

Please give it a try and share your experience. I'd love to hear your feedback on the tool and any suggestions you may have.

So people would save more?Savings is how the wealth of a nation is built. Capital breeds investment. The more people with capital the better.

The only reason that people invest in the stock market is to maintain wealth.

What would you do if you could count on your dollars buying 2% more next year? Would you shove all your dollars in a mattress and forgo buying food so you could save a few more?

Or would you keep buying everything you do now and worry a little less about investing to maintain value?

Less dollars in the stockmarket enriching others and more dollars in savings building personal wealth is what deflation brings. The only people this is a problem for are stockbrokers.
Right, so, no way for you to be wrong, ever.

Even in large cities in California, it really depends on how much time you want to or can afford to waste on public transit.

Specific cases do work - or at least work better than the car-owning alternatives, for example major transit directions for short-ish distances in San Francisco. If your life revolves around a few of these, you are doing pretty well without a car ... and you still can't escape from that area without one. A significant additional "sweet spot" zone is where car usage has been made - deliberately and assiduously - unbearable. The choice is then about a lesser aggravation, rather then desirable service. And so we get the quality of life we deserve, and that's not great.

Nobody is arguing that YOU should own a car. If you are happy without one that's great and carry on. But that's rather specific situation.

No, I am a Pascal guy. Turbo Pascal had an INI parser, Delphi has one, FreePascal has one, and they all work flawlessly.

From what I see, 20+ years proven parsers are available for pretty much any language there is.

And yes, the format is a bit flawed. But it gets the job done.
agreed! PostgreSQL is the wrong tool for large data without indexes. It's also the wrong tool for ultra low latency access. And small, non-persistent data. And and and...

That said, over time PostgreSQL has wildly expanded the range for which it's suitable and if you can and want to bet on the future, it's often a better bet than niche systems.

It's also important to remember that PostgreSQL is decades ahead of other systems in data virtualization and providing backward-compatibility to applications after changes; pushing down computation near the data and avoiding moving billions of rows into middleware, including a world class query optimizer; concurrent data access; data safety and recovery; and data management and reorganization, including transactional DDL. Leaving this behind feels like returning to the stone age.

Ask HN: Why does PayPal protect scammers?
The account of a reputable user on a collectors forum has been hacked and used to scam at least 6 people causing a loss of multiple thousand dollars. Because the user was known and had a great history and relationship with others, a lot of people fall for it when he started to sell a few more items of his collection this weekend.

Paypal denies to investigate because friends and family was used in all cases, because the considered the member a friend.

While I somewhat get that Paypal is not legally required to make people whole, I feel not even looking the case at all is neglectance.

In 2016, a gym in Canada had a news article written about it in The Globe and Mail, a national newspaper [1], due to the notability of its policy at the time of only offering a pay-as-you-go plan. You would pay each time you visited, until you hit a cap at a maximum fee per month—this would make future visits free for this period. The marketing clearly worked, as the business earned a national news article solely due to this policy.

However, after some time, the gym changed the policy to offer discounts for people who signed a contract—effectively make it more expensive for people to pay-as-you-go without easier cancellation. As of now, I can no longer find pricing on their website (maybe it's there, but I've looked around a while), nor any mention of their once-notable pay-as-you-go model. Instead, the gym's website now focuses on encouraging members to sign up for a personal trainer.

At least in this case, the gym showed that the "prepay and we'll never bill you" policy was, as you predicted, a headline-grabbing policy. But it appears that the owners decided it was more profitable to either cancel or de-emphasize the policy and promote the usual payment model for gyms, even at the cost of standing out from other gyms.

Could you add an option that will auto-reveal or mark cells that are unambiguous? That would save a lot of clicking, scrolling and time. You could limit it to reveal cells bordering the one you click to avoid solving the whole board.
Gor Nishanov's analysis is way too narrow to be used as general language design advice. Windows API fibers are also way too specific of an implementation to generalize.

Call stacks are just a data structure like any other. That they happen to be managed by the compiler to store things like local variables doesn't change this. Consider that there are algorithmic ways to convert from function calls to this data structure (defunctionalization) and back (refunctionaliztion), and the correspondence between recursive programs and iterative programs using an explicit stack.

The question here is, for any given stack, what requirements does it place on the memory layout and allocation for that stack? Gor's analysis covers a few of these, but not everyone has the same requirements and not every implementation style makes the same tradeoffs.

And you can mix and match these styles within a single programming language! Rust async functions and C++ coroutines both still store much of their local state on the native C stack- they only use their state machines to store local state (including the state machines of their callees) that lives across suspension points. This is what enables Rust to support APIs like spawn_blocking or block_on- you can run different parts of a program using different styles of stacks.
Even 20 years ago, WiFi distance records were mostly a matter of geography. The limit quickly became the curvature of Earth's surface, so the ideal geography was two mountains, separated by empty ocean in the middle, with easy access up their facing slopes.

that's super exciting! precisely cutting 220μm-thick steel sheet without warping it is an ability not to be underestimated, particularly when you can cut it to literally any shape you want to an x-y precision of 10μm, subject to i guess a minimum corner radius. 220μm ÷ 300 passes suggests you were vaporizing about 700nm of steel per pass, which seems pretty plausible; it's faster than the w&m levsha results but not that much

how efficient is this? heat of vaporization of iron is 354 kilojoules per mole, which works out to 6.3 kilojoules per gram, plus another 3 kilojoules per gram or so to reach the boiling point. if i estimate your cut width as 100μm and the cut length as 60mm (600ms at 100mm/s, 18 frames at 30fps), that's about 1.3 mm³ of iron, about 10 mg, which should require about 90 joules to vaporize it. this is about 500 milliwatts over 3 minutes, which is a lot less than 14.4 watts, so probably most of the heat is being lost to things like reflection and conduction; maybe most of the focus spot isn't getting hot enough and only the center is actually boiling (though the sparks suggest that some of the iron is being ejected in liquid form)

i suspect it could become a lot more practical with automatic focus
Yes, agreed. On the other hand, there are quite a few people using Javascript, a language where this distinction also isn't really done in a clean way.

If you would de-serialize an ini-file into Objects in memory you would typically have meta-data about your object (RTTI/Reflection for compiled languages, given for scripting languages).

But yes, INI isn't without flaws. Parsers typically will need to accept everything from "true", "True", True, true, 1, "1" for boolean fields.

This happened tons with the first Apple Watch back in 2016.

This was basically completely new product category for many, many people. Yes, the Pebble existed, but the Pebble was niche and ultra niche. (I had one; loved the original and the Time).

The first Watch was crazy limited compared to today's variants, but the punditry was unceasing. Especially since you had people debating whether they should spend $10k on basically a flex.
Nah. People will still go to bars. We couldn't wait to be done with the COVID restrictions and I'm still making up for all the lost time, long nights where I roll onto the street at 6am when the last club closes lol.
