I use Uni-Ball PowerTank pens for the same reason. Nowhere near as smooth as fountain pens, they're just nice ballpoints, but they're $2 space pens that work ever single time.

I assume the 10 pack I got will probably last me a decade or more of occasional use.

I do like fountain pens, but to be honest... the faff is pretty much the whole point for me. They're fun fashion accessories for when I want to look and feel really strongly like I'm not a phone scrolling addict.

I've only used the cheap ones and I'm always pretty happy with performance, since my only expectation is "A bit nicer than the cheap ballpoints I'm used to".

For Nintendo Switch. they picked it up was mostly due to Nvidia being very desperate for a win, willing to sell it for cheap, using older technology and node all while having very little driver support. ( Also I remember Jensen loves Nintendo )

This is similar, with different tradeoffs, to what Riot did for their gaming backbone. They wrote a blog about this but I cant't find it.

Instead of relying on consumer ISP's to route gaming packets for speed, they would instead route them for costs. Taking extra hops and extra latency before reaching the target server.

Riot built an overlay network using their own fiber and negotiated BGP deals with consumer ISP's to get gaming traffic off the ISP's internal network on onto Riot's ASAP so they could route the packets directly to their gaming servers.

Zero surprise.
If they stopped responding, then fake SWAT calls would end being a great way to stage a violent assault. Just make a dozen fake threats to the same address, wait for the cops to lose interest, then attack.
So I'm confused here. The poster you're responding to here says "this shouldn't work the way that it currently does" and your response is "this currently does work that way"? Like are you saying a change in police response policy is self-evidently impossible? If not, what are you trying to say?

The phone NEVER meant you were in a particular place. It was possible to route calls from switch to switch, and could even contact the operator posing as a line tech to have them make a connection for you. You must be too young to remember the good old days
i encourage everyone to get started on whatever device is most accessible. if you only have a 49 key midi keyboard without weighted keys, get started on that. just do enough to have some fun and see if this is something you'd like to continue. unless you are very serious about learning classical piano, better to build bad habits and correct them later than to allow this "88 key weighted keyboard only" gatekeeping to stop you from starting the journey

I replied to every point you made in the original message, it wasn't cherrypicking just couple of details. That's because everything in your initial post was wrong. (But I also explained why passkeys wouldn't solve all security problems, and why it's still useful to just make things incrementally better rather than solving everything at once). You then tried to argue zero-days. While zero-days are possible, I replied in detail why they would not be a scalable long-term threat, and your response was to start lying about your original claim.

Note that you have provided absolutely nothing to back up your claims about how passkeys will eventually become phishable. Nor have you admitted that your theory about it happening is wrong, just complained that it's unfair to be called out on such a tiny detail. But it's not a tiny detail! Being unphishable is the entire core design goal of passkeys. You're just claiming that they don't actually have that property, while not being able to give any concrete details about why it would be so.

It seems to me that eventually it will come to pass that competition regulators start to look at this. For now there's enough of an appearance of healthy competition that they probably aren't interested. But below the surface what they should be understanding is that these are highly anticompetitive mechanisms being deployed and the complexity of unwinding it later on may be such that intervention is justified much sooner than would ordinarily be the case.
At 47 times, I'd be shocked if they don't just have the SWAT van sitting around the corner waiting for number 48
I guess the design of the launcher is meant to make you more intentional about using your phone by adding friction.

My bad, I did not know those details. I don't think I've ever heard of a case where it's happened this way in tournament play. I bet it has though.

Do you happen to know if this can be applied even several rounds later, in a swiss format? In most tournaments, even if there are score sheets, the arbiters rarely look over the game if the players agree on the result. And sometimes I don't look over my own games until a few days later if I'm disgusted enough with how I played...

This is a great use in the short-term. In the long term, you also need situations where you will apply directly the contents of your note. You can explain the subject to your friends or co-workers, use it as the basis for research that you are yourself doing, or synthesize what you've written down with knowledge coming from other books. This will keep you coming back to your notes, and you'll feel that your knowledge is increasing and getting sharper each time.

I'm sure all software developers have been exposed to strong personalities. Often in the form of bullies, primadonnas, class clowns, big men on campus, pointy haired bosses, etc.

The problem is that—as a generalization—strong personality tends to correlate inversely with competence, and software engineers esteem the latter above all else (because a machine is not swayed by charisma, after all).

Good leadership is really the combination of strong personality and competence. That combination is so rare that for most software engineers, the safest bet is to simply try to avoid employers with strong personalities entirely.
> "In fact, since JavaScript does not support bare objects, the simple statement {"k":"v"} will emit an error in JavaScript"

This is kind of a silly, "well technically". Its a valid expression. Its not a valid statement. It is valid javascript in the sense most people mean when asking the question if something is valid javascript.
Because "tech" workers are not required for the economy to be booming?

Because a booming economy is not what promotes hiring "tech" workers?

Because without ZIRP to allow VC to gamble on money-losing "startups", there is no place for these workers to "work"?

In the vast majority of cases these "jobs" lead nowhere, it is ultimately wasted effort when the money runs out, because the VC are making highly speculative bets. The majority of these bets will be wrong.

The money has run out, the high volume of speculative bets are no longer possible and the "workers" are not needed.

“Hot take: I’ve never found Norm Macdonald funny and was pretty sure all my comedy friends who did were either nuts or screwing with me”

Personally, I do not understand why that’s worth harassing the guy. There are strange people out there.
This comment is really weird. Because the comment you are replying to literally doesn’t say the things you seem to be replying to, and instead does actually say what you seem to think it should say?

Did you read it before replying?

For instance, I literally said a lease is ‘credit like’. Not actually credit. And that some landlords and employers might want to check your credit report before engaging with you to see how you do with credit, as they might give them useful information on how you might do in other areas they care about - not that they would report their own activities there.

The car loaner situation is also completely inapplicable to a lease - which, btw, is almost the exact same broad structure as a bond.

Possession of X is given to debtor in exchange for monthly payments of Y with some additional conditions, and in the event of default or end of term, X needs to be returned to the bond writer in whole. With optionally some funds held in escrow (security deposit) in case of default or damage to X.

It’s real property for a given time in exchange for rent of course, not a chunk of principal for time in exchange for interest, but it’s the same kind of deal.

And similar to most bonds, the full interest/rent amount isn’t paid up front. It’s done for given periods of time (a month being pretty standard).

Now one could imagine a way a car loaner could be structured so that payment of gas IS payment for the loaner, and even how it could be structured as an automobile lease. But it would require that structure no? And would be pretty ridiculous paperwork wise.

Property leases already follow that structure.
These would all be good to have, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer a system that delivers needed micronutrients to women and infants. Reducing physical and mental stunting has got potential to improve hundreds of millions of lives from birth.

> I propose that the differences in opinion are likely differences in understanding the ill-defined context of the question.

The whole point of the article is that *on large platforms* it is impossible to have policies on moderation, etc. that people agree on. Not small, interest-specific, geographically and linguistically focussed niche platforms.

The example is further perfectly illustrated by users here dropping their confident, just-so how-tos that would accomplish difficult tasks like moderation easily, and other users disagreeing with their equally confident, personally experienced difficulties in executing such just-so plans.

If you can define the question so narrowly as to make the answers obvious, you're not talking about the same problem anymore.
My other comments were a bit hotheaded, but where is there something in my original comment that would be grounds for me starting a flamewar? I simply stated a fact: far left magazine interviewing a union head and getting an opinion from a non-expert of warehouse deaths as cause to read with caution.

This is a completely valid opinion and I am trying to make it clear that there is an agenda here beyond defending the death of a poor guy just trying to earn a buck.
Applicaiton Dependencies Dashboard
Hello everyone!

I am launching an app for engineers and tech leaders who works with project dependencies. The aim of it is to find all NuGet, NPM and Maven application dependencies, display their versions and highlight the dependencies which are out of date. This application helps to keep dependencies consistent across projects and up-to-date.

Demo link: https://demo-dependencies.itbusina.com

Install instructions:
docker run -p 5000:8080 -e GITHUB_API_BASE_URL=https://api.github.com -e GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN={access token} -e PROJECTS=dotnet/aspnetcore --name dependencies-dashboard -d kbahdanovich/dependencies-dashboard:latest

I'd love for you to give it a try and share your feedback.

Friend of mine found another one:

https://www.acwholesalers.com/Amana-AH093G35AX/p100206.html?...

Expensive, but it does seem to be a true heat pump. Looked at several stores that sell it and they usually have just one in stock. Requires 240V wiring so it's not just plug-n-play. Almost no reviews but the few that exist are positive. Adoption would be easier for those who want to offset some of their fossil fuel use if it was 120V, but it's encouraging that one even exists.

I wonder if it will use the heat pump at lower temperatures. Found this document:

https://www.acwholesalers.com/manuals/56299c6db1bcec798cff6d...

which says the AH models (the ones that use the heat pump for heating) also include a resistive heater, probably for when the temperature goes below what the heat pump can handle. They provide cooling specs per temperature range, but not heating specs per temperature range. So I suspect the heat pump cuts out at 41F like similar models. If it was a modern heat pump they wouldn't need to include the resistive heater.
Appreciate it! I'd like to hear how it works out for you! I'm reachable at jeremy@keyboardconnect.com

Huh? There are only two moderators here and they aren't chosen by users, nor do users have to make any choice about "trusting" them. The HN moderation system bears no resemblance at all that I can see to what the post I responded to was describing.
What about it angers you? Do you have a personal experience with it? From what I can see, we're talking about real estate, not usually an inflammatory subject. Nobody else seems angry, but you seem to have something to be angry about.

I can tell you from my experience, whatever it is, you seem to apply it to me. You're attributing things to me that I haven't said nor have they crossed my mind, and attacking me about whatever is making your angry. I just stopped by at my favorite spot for a chat.

Incredibly risky because no matter when you attack, your presence will almost certainly leave physical or digital footprints.

"capitalism" Is it in the room with you? Do you need assistance? Did the evil capitalism touch you in your naughty place?

But seriously... everything uses computers and programming ties everything together. I don't think you have to be a grand master programmer but having those skills make you a better employee.

The real pesky question is why do you think socialism, communism or the alternatives to "capitalism" wouldn't benefit from having people able to use better tools? Productivity multipliers would help "The People" and The Masters in charge of the authoritarian dictatorship alternatives to "capitalism"...
Ask HN: Recently got laid off, any advice for cybersecurity backend developer?
Recently got laid off from a cyber security company. They laid off the entire US-based department, moving it to a UK based office.

I was in a backend role supporting classification systems. I worked a lot in python, as the data scientists made their ML models in it.

I used to work a lot in Java, so now I’m considering learning Golang, or possibly more ML stuff (depending how math heavy I need to go)

I enjoy the cybersecurity field, and want to continue working on backend systems. Obviously no one has a crystal ball, but I have a couple of months to learn something new with little distraction, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions of what may be an emerging domain with good job prospects for the next few years or so?

I know some ML stuff from building infrastructure services around models, and some topics rubbed off from working with their ML team.

At the same time there’s a lot of buzzword hype with ML/AI and such, so I’m trying to tread carefully
> The JSON specification has six structural characters (‘[’, ‘{’, ‘]’, ‘}’, ‘:’, ‘,’) to delimit the location and structure of objects and arrays.

Wouldn’t a quote “ also be a structural character? It doesn’t actually represent data, it just delimits the beginning and end of a string.

I get why I’m probably wrong: a string isn’t a structure of chars because that’s not a type in json. The above six are the pieces of the two collections in JSON.
You know what would be a great policy? Not sending SWAT teams when the call reporting whatever situation is coming from a phone physically on the other side of the state.

The nonsense is the commonly-parroted layman's interpretation of what "well-regulated" means.

Even Ginsburg agreed: "well-regulated" as written in the Constitution does not mean "restricted." The English language has changed some since 1791!
