The rotation is not reversed though (at least not with the same speed), that's why it's always been interesting.
On a similar note, I remember someone posted on HN like a year ago a link to these custom cursors you could download and the comments were full of people talking them up… anyone know what I’m talking about?
They push lots of MS when setting up Windows. My most recent install had them try to bribe me to sign up for a gaming service with a free month. That was only one example I saw during the install process alone. Doesn't include the shit I find actually using Windows itself. My first few days using Windows was spent working out how to uninstall or disable so much crap.

iOS does offer options for "read selected photos" and "add-only photos".

Contact list subset and pseudo-sensors (camera, microphone, accelerometer, barometer) are much needed.

Preset location is also needed, but some apps enforce DRM or other policy by location.

App-level network policy (whitelist, blacklist) is needed. For enterprise MDM, iOS allows per-app VPNs, which could enforce app-specific network filtering. With Apple Configurator policy files, Safari can have on-demand VPNs for specific websites.
It’s not physically difficult, it’s mentally difficult. And that’s what’s more important.

I'm interested to know: How so?
This is impressive and I'd love to try it for our logs. Our company has specific requirement about resources and ranking but I couldn't find it in documentation, could you please point me to the right docs?

1. How does it scale with increased search traffic? What are CPU and RAM requirements for 1'000 request/sec? What if this is just spike traffic, and average is 1 request/sec?

2. Proximity / positional search - our current workaround is to move log entries with tokens closer to each other higher in the results with time penalty quadratic function, but ideally we'd like proximity operators that would eliminate results with tokens far away.
Small business practices used to work for small enterprise sales, e.g. a manager or individual can buy if the sale is within the limits of their credit card or discretionary budget.

But now software sales to enterprise has to run through a lot of security and audit and configuration management approval, the days where an individual or group within a larger enterprise can just buy and use software are pretty much over.
The “perp” is given a ticket. Comes with a fine that helps pay for further enforcement.
I’m really scared of getting old. I’m hoping someone “cures” aging in my lifetime.
Beautifully composed article. Looking forward to trying this out.
I’d be more impressed if they built something without even realizing it used to exist in yesteryear
I'm getting flashbacks to the circa-2000 CyberArmy/Zebulun challenges.

Your level of success affected certain site flair/permissions.
There's also the element of what I call "structural corruption". This isn't "money in brown paper bags" style corruption, as much as it is key stakeholders at customers having existing relationships with certain vendors, and having built their position at the company they work at based on being subject matter experts in that vendors tools.

Try breaking in to an established market as a new product, even if you have a distinctly better value proposition.

You will face a near impenetrable brick wall of critical customer stakeholders who are using the incumbent product and have very strong vested interests in NOT changing solution, no matter how much better your solution may be.
Plastic bags cannot be recycled, period.

Even worse, they clog up the recycling machinery.

I'm curious where the equilibrium is. There is some portion of people who will not torrent no matter what. Either because of lack of ability or moral views, or some other reason.

There is a second set of the population that will never pay for media, or at least not more than very trivial amounts. Either because of lack of ability to pay, not thinking it's worth it, or not believing there is anything wrong with piracy.

Then the is the third group that will happily pay for content when it is reasonably priced and, perhaps most importantly, easy and convenient. If it's too expensive or too difficult/annoying, they will pirate.

The size of this third group dictates where the equilibrium is. If it's very small, then media will always converge in the cable style maximum extraction. But if that second group is large, then the cable model might lose more money than it gains by pushing consumers towards piracy.
> why pay for 8 different services and have to waste your time figuring out whats on what when you can just have one service for free, even if its illegal

1. My time isn’t valuable so who cares if it takes 6 minutes to figure out where to watch Magnum PI.

2. I know I shouldn’t do illegal things so I don’t do them.
> a language can be a home-cooked meal [...] a tool for use by a programmer [...] a pipeline that transforms a data structure from a format that the human would prefer to interact with into a format that a specific machine can work with.

You're neglecting the second function that a language serves, which is as a communication device to communicate a program from one human being to another, and in that second function, a language is utterly useless if it lacks critical mass in terms of how many people "speak" it. This runs completely counter to the "home-cooked meal" model.

You run into problems, even if you only have one human being trying to communicate the program to their future self, because there's a tendency to forget a language you don't use regularly, so you might cook up a very brilliant language to solve a problem that you have right now, but that you don't have sufficiently frequently. So you don't practice the language regularly, and then you come back 10 years later and want to change something about the program and you might find yourself in trouble.
It's a sprinkler with the pumps pulling water in instead of pushing it out.

Plenty of people built one since Feynman stated the problem, it simply doesn't rotate or rotates very weekly on the same direction a normal sprinkler would. A lot of people think this is anti-intuitive.

You are stealing... what, exactly?

(It’s not stealing any thing at all)
Leap years tell how frequently this change occurs.

If all years were 364 days this will never be an issue since there will not be an extra day.

When a year is 365 days there is an extra day and the next years calendar starts on a day adjacent to previous year. Note that I am talking about calendar year not fiscal year.

So if all years were leap years, calendar would get in balance after 7 years and after adjusting for 1 week in the fiscal year.

But not all years are 365 days so sometimes the calendar shifts by 1 day and sometimes by 2 days. So whether the calendar gets into balance varies depending on where the leap year are with respect to when the calendar is adjusted. As my parent comment said, the last adjustment was in 23, it is not easy to say whether the next adjustment will be after 5 years or 6 years without looking at how many days get added year by year. It will definitely not be 7 years.

For arguments sake, adjust the fiscal calendar in January 1st. If you did that in 2024, that right there is a leap year, so you gain / lose 2 days, then 1 day each in 25, 26, 27, and then 2 days in 2028. Net 7 days so you adjust calendar in 2029 - 5 years later. But now the calendar has started in 2029, so adjust 1 day in 29, 30, and 31, even 2 days in 32, even 1 each in 33 and 34. So you adjust after 6 years. There are more options too but not worth analyzing each.
A normal sprinkler works by a pump pushing water out the nozzle. Wouldn't a time reversed sprinkler be a situation where water is flying into the sprinkler and depressing the pump? in that case I would expect the rotation to be reversed.
What parts of it do you find boring, specifically?
I’m curious to know what this guy would think about pkl.
What if that voice comes packed in bad clothing, smelly and is full of grammar mistakes? Because that's how an order without credentials would feel like, when the rituals of signature verification are established as expected form. The correct reply to an underling who goes all sir-yes-sir without checking would be "do you consider me so unimportant that you don't think it worth your precious time to verify that I actually am who I claim to be?". It would certainly have to be a cultural adaption initiated from the top. If subordinates are expected to fill in for whatever diligence those higher up lack, it won't work, no matter where.

It's true, I don't know Japan, but I suspect that they might have it much easier to adapt than western pretend-buddy orgs.

Does that apply to you as well?
As an alternative, try foot. I love that terminal, it just works.

And that's the right way for infrastructure and build configs. You do want over-verbose, no-logic code in the configs. Unlike app code, you rarely need to change it, and readability is even more important. 6 duplicates is not too many yet for infra code.

In terms of copy-paste tolerance, I'd rank from least to most: app code, tests code, infra configs, and build pipeline configs.
Do you have substantive critique? Because the fellow you're responding to is giving substance to his criticism, the parent comment is giving substance, the article is giving substance, and whether GEB has substance is apparently up for debate. If the person you're replying to is deadset on proving the parent right, you are dead set on proving nothing. Please tell us what you disagree with, and the particulars of why, or maybe leave the discussion to the adults.
Important research.
It seems to me that bigger, heavier, high powered EVs are an unsustainable path. Smaller, efficient, back and forth to work or the grocery store vehicles aren’t even available.
Apple ramped up autonomous vehicle testing last year, filings show
Did this not work because Netflix didn't want to or because the producers decided they wanted to do distribution themselves?
Many hearts, I am the GP.
I’m scared of getting old in a late stage capitalist society.
Yeah but if you always have to spend a lot of time finding something to watch, then that shows up in their analytics as increased engagement. Allowing you to remove garbage would make you spend less time in their app.
All of the blah blah blah about “damage to national security”. If any single person with access to these networks can do this kind of damage if they so happen to wake up on the wrong side of the bed one day, then ‘national security’ is not a secure system. It’s as secure as how those tens or hundreds of thousands of people with security clearance feel in the morning…

Which is true of basically any company too. They’re not secure because all it takes is a trusted person to go rogue.
No. A nozzle behaves differently if you plug it the other way around, and that does not break CPT symmetry.
In addition, piracy ensures that the "original" version -- whether it was released on DVD, Blu-ray or streaming platform -- is "always" there (as long as someone is seeding). These days streaming services take down 50-year-old content because of racial prototypes or other politically incorrectly content given what (some) people believe in 2024, edit them or never put them on the shelve again. If all they do is to add "content advisory", consider yourself lucky.

This is one of the most stupid things that have happened.
The bottles are beautiful. My dad still has one in the kitchen that I gave him for Christmas 25 years ago. I don’t think the website has changed any since then either.
Entirely agree, although as a developer the auto updating is definitely a feature. Since it lets you assume users are all on the same version.

It is definitely a risk for users though.

You can also "opt out" of automatic updates, but the process is a bit involved.

1. Locate the extension on disk

2. Copy it to some other location

3. Add it as a developer extension via the "Load unpacked" button in the extensions screen.

I would also advocate for extensions being open source, but of course most of them are not.
What is a problem you have? Think about something that frustrates you or something you wished worked differently. Then solve for it. Don’t let ambitious problems scare you.

As a dumb army guy it frustrated me that I could not access my file system off my computer from across the world through the internet. There were times when I would have to leave home for a year or more. To add insult to injury I can only program in JavaScript/TypeScript, so my solutions are limited. I wrote a Node app to solve for this with a GUI that displays in the browser or Tauri or Electron.

Yes, iSCSI is a thing but it does not provide social restrictions to share with other people with custom limitations the way Samba does. I also didn’t want to waste money and violate my own privacy on a third party cloud provider. If both end points are IPv6 you should need any third party server/proxy.

When I first started on the security model of this app it got too complicated and became littered with regressions and testing manually was taking too long and I would always forget to test some feature. There are some good test automation apps out there for the browser but they are really complicated and I needed something peer-to-peer to test multiple computers from a single command and control. To solve for that I wrote a test automation component for the app.
Enterprise hijacking your roadmap is undeniably true. We had an enterprise client that would regularly say "perhaps your company is not fit to support an organization of our size" whenever they didn't get the feature they wanted pushed to the top.
I wonder if mandating content licenses being non-exclusive and separating media distributors from producers would help.
What part of Plato are you referring to? Republic is honestly written at a 10th grade English reading level. The most esoteric work of Plato is Timaeus, but most people do not see that as a foundational text in Western philosophy.
Do you realize how many security issues exist in applications written in memory-safe Java/PHP/JS/Python ? Memory corruption is but the tip of the iceberg.
Whatever you think about Shadiversity (he’s made some pretty controversial and offensive statements as of late), his old video covering the controversy surrounding “boob armor” in the Mandalorian is amazing. That was where I first learned what a codpiece was for. The main point of critics was that “The design of armor in the show is overtly sexual and objectifies women,” and Shad’s argument was “Decorative armor was always meant to sexualize the wearer, including men, and what the Mandalorian did wasn’t particularly egregious.”

Nothing like a history nerd making several hours of footage that can basically be summarized as “You’re wrong!”
I'll bite - people torrent because they have no other options. People will pay for content if they're able to access content after paying. So, here's my offer:

I will build a torrent streaming site where the torrent file costs some reasonable amount of $$ per download, for fully licensed content, with zero DMA protections.

If you have IP that you are willing to share on this torrent site, I will take 10% of revenue after subtracting costs, you get the remaining.

My email is on my HN profile. If you own IP and are interested in licensing it this way - shoot me a mail. I need a minimum amount of interest from IP holders before I put in any real work building this.

Your move, Hollywood.
Thanks; I'm working on products in this area and not especially satisfied by the parts available. Especially as Analog seems to be abandoning their micro-MPPT IC product line. My email is jacob at jbaylessconsulting dot ca.

One of the common issues with solar micro-MPPT is EMI emissions. Have you tested for compliance with emitted radio-frequency noise standards?
Something must be wrong with yours.

BT audio with my headphones and car works fine.

Browsing is fine in FF unless the website is very JS intensive.

Maps works with Puremaps.

The terminal is fine? Unless there is something specific you want out of it. I tried

Heat used to be a bit much but it doesn't get more than a little warm now and hasn't been hot since I first got it almost a year ago.

Are they technical decisions? Yeah, sure, that's on them.

But a LOT of decisions in reality are ones where there is no clear "organic" owner. In that scenario, assuming nobody else is putting their hand up to own it, that's the PM's responsibility.

Nobody will ever tell you this in interviews, it's never part of the job description, but it is one of the most important parts of being an effective PM.
While monkeys and hominids (apes, humans & chimpanzees) are both primates, they are separate groups that have evolved separately. Any inherent behavior we share with monkeys either came from a common ancestor or was co-evolution.

It is derogatory because it is used to belittle and dehumanize. It has and is commonly used by people with an exaggerated view on themselves to slur other groups, most famously against Africans. Monkey behavior is assumed to be lower and less desirable, and something that should be overridden in humans or be corrected for. Correctly defining things as human behavior (even if primitive behavior shared with our ancestors) is neutral, identifying it as natural and default behavior inherent to our species, and not a joke or slur.

Yes, the Sapolsky lectures are excellent and still hold up IMO.

If they are using a decent ad blocker they probably dont see 99.9% of that. At most they might note one of the couple mirrors for the video doesn't work.
Can you say the same about cigarette smoking bans in restaurants? Just a socially acceptable way for people to hate smokers?

Smoking or emitting carbon, or using plastic imposes negative externalities on other people. Second hand smoke causes lung cancer, carbon in the atmosphere leads to climate change, plastic in our environment can cause developmental and reproductive issues. There are reasons to oppose these things that do not include hating people. Some of the tactics may be ineffective or misguided, but this does not mean that everyone who cares about stopping harmful things hates a particular group of people.

I like your idea of putting a price on carbon emissions. Many economists agree that it would be one of the most effective ways to eliminate emissions while allowing the economy to continue to grow [1]. Solutions are there, and they will be employed when the political will for it is built.

There is a very clear distinction between details and main point. If you assume that there is no main point in a text, you negate all that the writer is trying to communicate.
Dunno, maybe it's some old-school thing from the days of punch cards?

My first programming teacher was back in HS, some 25 years ago. The man was a retired software engineer in his 60s. He really pushed that train of thought - to "finish" the code in your mind, on paper, etc. before actually writing it and hitting compile / run.

I never took it literally in the sense that you need to think out the entire program, but rather that when writing functions and more overall logic, it is good practice to have it all worked out - rather than just write as you go, and iterate. The latter part is very easy to do these days, as running code is more or less instant...
Every episode is on Netflix in Australia, not sure what you were looking at
I'm sorry if you felt insulted from my comment, that wasn't my intention at all.

From my perspective, it's pretty much a complete "no", because you've contextualized the term "open source" to mean something different to what the reader initially thought of at the time of reading the headline.

Furthermore: a question as the headline will always be a clickbait, as readers will always want to have it answered.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that this was blogspam. It's something you've clearly thought about before putting it in writing and it's well reasoned.
I am around 40, and this number is probably around 1 week for me. I am quite healthy. My country (EU) has public health insurance, but getting actual treatment is a chore.

I have no GP (non accepts new patients), getting any sort of prescription or referral for a specialists is a big hustle.

It took me 5 years to find a dentist that accepted new patients. Now she is on maternity leave for a year, so I will have to do root cannal in Turkey (like 3td main reason for this trip).

I had to visit ER with a relative, we spend 12 hours waiting for treatment!
This seems to be the most obvious solution, and is what solved the movie industry's greed back in the the studio system days. But, the industry will fight it tooth and nail, because they lose control and potential margins on it at the expense of the consumer.
Show HN: An opinionated TS package build toolchain with typed configuration
I'd very much love to be able to clearly remove features I don't want and use, including a lot of the things about profiles, then use a tool to remove all unused codepaths to make a fast, usable and hopefully easier to understand product. But who has the time to dig into the behemoths of firefox and chrome today? It's just too much code to easily grasp.
If it looks like Frankenstein, and it often acts like Frankenstein...

These things can and are and will be useful, but its not a magic ticket to knowing things. I booted up lamma2 at home, first question "how do I make you smarter?", all it returned were responses like "tell me a book or field to research". Obviously, that doesnt work, and it never suggested importing libraries or running training cycles.

Hey, I search a linux problem on brave, and the ai gives me the right answer 75% of the time, nice, but the other 25% it is just regurgiating outdated reddit threads. It has no cognition, it has no bearing on what consequences are, it just pronounces the result of a statistical model, it doesnt know what any of it means.
If, as a paying customer, I get an extremely low bitrate stream on Netflix because I'm watching it from Linux, then piracy is 200% justified.
How do you know the training is useless?
No subscriber told streaming services that they needed to drop literal billions of dollars on content production. I do not want to subsidize their poor decision making.

This is why streaming is so expensive.
Of course. You shouldn't take my word for it. You can learn the basics of AI/ML from a number of good texts. Simon Prince just released a very approachable text, although it doesn't cover much in the way of history to see the move to "more data/more compute, less human lead abstraction". I think Norvig's book covers that but I haven't read the latest version.
