I know you're being silly, but you'd have to be pretty obsessive to have it cost more than streaming. Internet says Netflix movies are about 5 GB at 1080p and 15 GB at 4k. At $10/TB, that's $0.05 or $0.15 per movie for equal quality. At $15.50/month for 1080p Netflix, that's 310 movies/month, or 10/day, which no one person can watch. At $23/month for 4k Netflix, that's 153 movies/month, or 5/day, which you'd have to be unemployed and have no life to watch.

Even with Blu-ray rips of 30 GB and 70 GB respectively, you're looking at 52 and 33 movies per month, which is more than 1/day (assuming no rewatches), which is still an awful lot of movie watching.

You could add something like 1:5 parity without changing the story much. Or get a friend to buy the hardware for a system that you maintain, and use them as a backup instead of parity. Even at $8/month to be on someone else's account, that's still 53 4k Netflix quality movies/month, so still makes economic sense for them.

This is course all assumes you never delete something after you've watched it.

So you'd really have to just be downloading everything you can find without even wanting to watch it to have the cost work out higher.
Not much help if you’ve got an ARM Mac.
The question is can one work without the other? Cherry picking work only in GIT.
Hi! Thanks for the reply - and I sort of worried this was going to be the answer.

I understand that I can take any language and create a higher level version which will provide functions which can access some data source.

But I still wonder if there is something more to how one could "truly" intermingle logic and data - one example might be a language which is executed directly in the DB, just spit balling.
How are they not irrelevant? This is a cyclical problem browsers and OSes have dealt with many times before, and JPEGXL will hardly be the last time. It's a fundamentally challenging situation that applies to the newest image codec as much as it does to old ZIP files or hostile PDFs.

There will always be some new format with some advantage or another, but safely parsing complex user generated content just isn't trivial, so every one of these is both a cost benefit analysis on its own merits but also a chance to reflect on historical implementations, vulnerabilities, and lessons learned.
I think because there are some desirable traits for config languages that don't exist in general purpose languages.

Not exhaustive list but generally:

Usually constrained to reduce complexity and try to eliminate the need for testing config.

Interopable between many different programming languages.

Readable by programmers working in different languages.

I think this usually makes config languages favour declarative over imperative which usually eliminates most general purpose languages.

Another topic is why do we use configuration at all and what is the difference between code and config.
exoplanet.eu also has downloadable datasets (from CSV to database exports) and an API. The Exoplanet Archive is great if you need the exact e.g. photometry data every time though.
But these kinds of things come down in price over time. This is just basic research, not commercialized. Another important metric is how much physical space is needed by the panels and higher efficiency means less space.

There’s never a single metric that you can use to decide “better” - it depends on the needs of the project.

According to my PCP last week, endocrinologists have stopped taking in patients that do not have urgent issues and even then it's a 6+ month wait. He said 9/10 of his referrals to endocrinologists in the last year have been denied.
> It’s 2024, so RCL has some features that you might expect from a “modern” language: trailing commas

I have the opposite opinion here. Commas should be like semi-colons: only required if you want multiple statements on a line.

Eg

fruit = [
“apples”
“oranges”
“bananas”
]

No commas yet still extremely explicit
yes, but in both cases the motivation was to have 32bit fixnums and addresses and thus word size was extended with extra bits for tags, unlike the predecessor design of CADR which used 32bit bus and had to stuff tags and fixnum/addresses together - resulting in 24bit fixnum/address space, or 3 8bit characters stuffed into each word, plus 4 bits of tags. TI Explorer later updated CADR/LMI design to use 25bit fixnum/address and 3bit mandatory tags.

For people who don't know:

Tag space included both CDR-coding (compression mechanism for linked lists), datatype tags, as well as formed portion of the instructions if the word contained instructions - on 3600 and Ivory each word could contain 1 or 2 instructions.
This apparently needs to be a Tell HN so there’s some context. The link and the title are not directly correlated that I can tell, and I can’t find any issues in the repository that look relevant.
The TypeScript type system is obscenely complicated because it has to be able to type almost any weird pattern people used when there was no type system.

Most dynamically typed languages are adding type systems right now, and they all face the choice between rewriting/wrapping the whole ecosystem or build a very complex and ultimately unergonomic type system.
But early computers used teleprinters as I/O and that drove their character sets.
I wonder if phones have cursor support. Obviously they have to for touch-based text editing, but it feels different. Touch screens inherently have dead zones with no input, a cursors position persists. I imagine there are a couple of gotchas if you were to try to implement this yourself. Fun to think about.
I am halfway into The Crossing By Cormac Mcarthy and it is a fantastic read till now. The section between the priest and the heretic has me going again and again and thinking a lot about it.

Digitopia is ruining our lives
Hey HN,

I, as many of you, work in tech. And the last 3 years were mentally horrible. The constant information bombardment, working remotely and rarely leaving the apartment, isolation, and so on and so forth, have left me scarred.

If anyone feels the same way, I hope that the pieces I'm shipping are helpful as I truly want to help a million people on overcoming the 21st century pandemic.

For those who are curious, I describe Digitopia as: an idealized but ultimately isolating and detached state induced by excessive digital interaction.
How am I supposed to answer that? Either your insurance agent was wrong, or mine shouldn't have sold it to me. All I can contribute is my experience.

Kids and adolescents have limited capacity to reason about hypotheticals and cause and effect. That capacity doesn’t develop until later. What they do have is an innate fear of dangerous creatures. These stories simply meet kids where their faculties are.
Can we get to the fact without first pointing out they are your dislike? This is a very bad argument and gets you no where.

In this case, which part of the statement in the above claim is not true?
Everyone is conditioned to pay for things. Either in the form of taxes or directly. Everyone is used to recccurent payments (internet, electricity, water,…). Google, Facebook have been the biggest proponents of software in exchange of your data instead of money.
Really depends on development style and what you’re used to, IMO.

Xcode doesn’t bother me at all while Android Studio, which is built around the vaunted IntelliJ, is constantly getting on my nerves. Visual Studio (the IDE, not the editor) is similarly frustrating and has odd restrictions to boot (I can’t use italics in syntax highlighting? Why??).

This goes for editors too. I find VS Code mildly irritating in ways that Sublime Text and TextMate aren’t.
Multi-tenancy, in any shape or form is sadly a potential security problem. I don't care if it's VM, containers, VLANs or databases, if you absolutely need to know that no one else is going to have access to your data, you need separate physical hardware.

In many circumstances you can make some tradeoffs, like running multiple customers or projects on the same vmware installation, because the risk is low or the other tenants are well known. I don't think Kubernetes is quite there yet where I'd trust multiple tenants on the same cluster.
The problem of having to re-IP your entire network doesn't go away in IPv6, it just happens in different circumstances. If you're using public IPs as recommended by the design, then if you ever switch ISP you need to re-IP your entire subnet, just as you would with overlapping private subnets in IPv4-world. Of course, the same would happen in IPv4, but it is almost unheard of to use public IPs for all machines in a private network there.

There is very little extra simplicity in IPv6. The only thing it really does that most people fight with in any common place is to get rid of NAT, which is a fairly well understood technology by now. But getting rid of DHCP didn't work, peer-to-peer networks still get bogged down in firewalls even if they don't fight NAT, MTU problems are still around when running VPNs, etc. Maybe getting rid of ARP has helped in some scenarios for more complex networks?

Instead, you have to deal with both DHCPv6 and SLAAC, with multiple IPs on every interface, with much harder to remember IPs, with always changing IPs, with the myriad IPv6/IPv4 conversion schemes, with larger DNS responses (requiring DNS over TCP more often), and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.

Slight sidetrack, but Noesis is free for < $100k revenue, and the licenses for use above that are very affordable and royalty free.

The only problem I had is that IDE support is limited. At least at the time I was using it, Microsoft Blend felt very much like a half functioning and abandoned project that was just being dragged along for the sake of maintaining something at least reminiscent of an IDE.
> problem is you can't sell them.

I actually make a living selling browser extensions in the iOS and Mac App Store. Apple users are willing to pay.

I used to sell my extension in the Chrome Web Store, until Google eliminated Chrome Web Store Payments (mentioned by another commenter). However, even with Google's payment system, my sales were extremely low; thus it wasn't worth my time to implement my own payment system in the Chrome Web Store.

Apparently Firefox also used to have a payment system for add-ons but eliminated it.

This is purely a choice by the browsers. Chrome and Firefox have chosen to demonetize extensions. Safari has chosen to monetize extensions.

> has created their own programming language

For me, that's part of the problem. I'm sure Swift is a nice enough language based on what I've seen. But I'm not going to invest a substantial amount of time learning a language that is realistically only ever going to be useful to target one platform by a single company.
Just pointing out the most VM / virtualization platforms have also had security problems where an attacker could escape the VM and access the underlying operating system.
I am quite unsure as to the veracity of the claim that "the average will converge [upon] the truth". I recall cases being made (as asides) for the opposite conclusion. Intuitively even, this idea of equating truth with convergance towards the average opinion appears contradictory, counterfactual, and ahistorical. Excuse my being brass, but a "wisdom of crowds" seems to me oxymoronic on its face. I'd love to be persuaded otherwise though; mainly due to my perception of a lack of credence towards your view. Perhaps I have misunderstood your qualifier: "As long as there isn't a strong truth bias to people's estimate . . . "? Off the top of my head, I can't imagine any scenario in which a mixed population of laypeople and academics/experts would converge towards the same (vote average) findings as a sample of a handful of experts/academics. For example, would The Average converge towards correct mathematics or physics answers? Besides trivial, non-technical questions that do not require complex analysis, I think not.

{Post-Scriptum: My position is that if averages for answers to questions were taken, from the 'crowd' of the whole Earth, then these would diverge significantly and routinely from The Truth. If there are cases in which you feel this to not be the case I would inquisitively consider such scenarios waveBidder.}

It's not so unusual to write the C stdlib in a different language.

E.g. Zig is getting a libc written in Zig:

Rust would work too of course. MUSL is probably the only popular C stdlib actually written in C.
> It seems more and more that sports tickets are exclusively available on Ticketmaster

For US pro sports, I think it’s actually trending away from Ticketmaster. Baseball (MLB) tickets are now directly sold through the MLB. At least some (all?) American Football (NFL) teams have started partnering with SeatGeek. Basketball (NBA) and Ice Hockey (NHL) still seem to be through Ticketmaster.
I'll keep those in mind. I do this sort of thing all the time and I ended up building a custom ESP8266 unit to switch my heater on and off based on a bunch of remote thermometer readings in the house. The decision is a bit tricky: keep the pump running but the heater off to spread the heat more evenly or to fire up the boiler as well. So with some HA scripting that works super reliable but from a hardware perspective it could still be improve on and your supplier looks like it just what I was looking for when I was building this but couldn't find something suitable.

Thanks!
The exact same can be said for academia
Especially because that repo hasn't been updated in ~4 years and the link to the authors site at http://www.alexzielenski.com/ is dead.

It's still TV to mixer to speakers in that case just the TV<->mixer portion is SPDIF digital instead of TRS analogue. I.e. the mixer is the DAC instead of the TV and the analog portion is limited to the actual connection to the speakers.

TV selection options go through the roof while analog loss and interference in the mixer is eliminated.
at this point I think it's beyond clear any setuid root binaries shouldn't be written in C

Quirky that DDG is mentioned as a Google alternative when it's a meta search engine. I'd hope the average developer appreciates that DDG isn't a "true" search engine as in, they don't have their own index of web documents.
I built a chrome extension that is featured on the chrome web store[1] and the number of requests I get from shady data brokers looking to buy my extension and fill it with spyware is really concerning. A naive dev could build something cool and sell it off to someone thinking they'll maintain if for them but instead just cause a hazard for users. Google seems to do a decent job of reviewing the use of permissions but some extensions like mine really need access to everything on the page so I can only imagine what a data broker could do with it. Be careful what you install.

It’s too bad that Swift → JS compiler projects are all stalled. Swift syntax is similar and I think it’d be a nice step up for people who don’t care for compatibility with legacy JS and want uncompromised static typing on the web.

More relevant, it caps `log_ident` to a very short length. If my math is correct, the max length of the first snprintf is 72 bytes (actually less with real-world valid PIDs), and the buffer is 1024.

As usual, MUSL is secure at the cost of giving up usefulness. A 32-byte buffer might seem like a lot, but there are dozens of programs with a name longer than 31 bytes on my system. `dbus-update-activation-environment` is the most interesting (most others are gcc/binutils), and I know dbus in general uses syslog, though I haven't traced this particular entry point.
I think that metamask is an example of a great add on that proves how great browser extensions are. Also, I think that the most popular browser extensions like metamask will eventually become built into every browser
I program (not js/ts), use a massive number extensions and consider myself an absolute power user of them and refuse to ever use a browser WITHOUT the chrome/firefox extension ecosystem, I've written themes for Chrome and VScode, but I'm still here- (like pink/cyan? get on in! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mikejk8s...).

I have no idea via the Chrome prompts what extensions are able to do, read, see, access, etc. "Allowed to access data on all websites" - Is this literally all data? Like what I'm typing? Like does it know when I go URL to URL? it is just reading the assets? Is there a chrome API that limits their access that I can see? What do I actually need to worry about? I have a video zoomer that lets me zoom in on any video on any website, do I need to literally audit each extension myself and make sure it's not mirroring my data elsewhere or something?

I have no idea. How would a non technical user know any of this?
Comparison is to the wages the caretaker is giving up in order to be at home with the child. Of course there is a spectrum but it is a high bar.
This only points to one things: developers strictly don't understand how politics work.

They keep harping about JXL's technical superiority (who disagrees btw?) when at this point it is utterly clear that the choice to boot it from browsers have precisely nothing to do with technical concerns.
The summary article completely omits the description of how to do the feedback. A laser (and FEL) need a cavity for coherent light emission (typically with mirrors), otherwise we just have spontaneous emission (which is incoherent). So how does one make a gravitational wave cavity, or even a GW mirror?
I think the W-4 only applies to federal income tax. There's no field that instructs employers how much to pay in FICA (their share and yours). At best you can reduce withholdings to account for the excess FICA payments.

On Android I use a two fisted approach; Chrome for things that require auth/payments, Kiwi for everything else. Kiwi is an open source fork of Chrome, and it allows extensions. Unfortunately it's not up to date to the latest (secure) Chrome, but I accept that because not having control over the browser is its own form of exploit.

Are they? They own the OS. And they reserve to themselves the rights to change how it behaves. There’s no standard API, only tooling. So yeah, it’s obvious that you’ll be in great pain if you try to sidestep the tooling. Everything apart from their SDK is and will always be an hack.
