Pretty cool, though I am a little disappointed there’s no Euro-style worker placement game where players compete to build the best gourmet burger restaurant!
Curious what you prefer about the original epidemics. As a rule we try to balance quality of life improvements with faithful implementation and lean towards faithful when a change is controversial.

For our own protection we do not reverse engineer though so the goal is similar to what can be observed and fun to play.
There are many books I want to read, and even more things I want to do. Then there are things I need to do like pay the rent.
Point taken, I should have realized.
I have ~50k in debt, and my GPA was garbage. Self study and hobbyist pursuits seem to be my place unless I find a specific field+program I really love enough to bet everything on.
Ask HN: What API security tool you're using at your company in 2024?
I am working with some enterprise customers and they have a need for API security tool. Their primary and foremost use case is API visibility to begin with.

Before I design & build something for them, I want to research more and seeking market data around 3 questions right now:

1. How concerned companies generally are around their API security?
2. Is API visibility more important than running security tests on APIs?
3. Are you using any API security tool in your company? If yes, which one & why? If no & you're an enterprise business with lots of API, why not?
No thanks, I don't want fake open-source apps anymore.

Some fake open-source software that are actually in it for the money:

- Langchain (and most "open-source" LLM software)

- Zed
I worked for Apple retail many years ago, and Apple Store rental is a very real thing regardless of the product. In fact, when the Genius Bar repair queue got too long it was actively encouraged.

As much as I’d like it to be, I don’t think there is a mass rejection of the Vision Pro happening.
Author of the blog post here—

1) You're absolutely right, I'll fix this mistake in the example.

2) "Made up" was perhaps stirring the pot too much ;), but the fact remains
that a timestamp is created when one essentially doesn't exist. That this is meticulously documented in PEP495 doesn't change this fact.

Note that PEP495 also explicitly describes some of the other pitfalls. Documenting a 'suprise' is not the same as eliminating it.

> Finally if we disallow creating non-existent datetimes in the proposed library, how do we represent the 2am in "clock changes forwards at 2am"? Use 3am? There are tradeoffs.

Indeed, there are always tradeoffs. Often, only time can tell what was the 'least bad' decision. It is telling though that modern datetime libraries (Noda Time, Chrono, Temporal) in other languages choose to not represent these 'missing' local times.
> The only ones that could work are in scifi

Meta sold 20 million units of the Quest.

It's just nonsense that we need some futuristic technology to make the category popular.
Not sure if you tried the installer or the portable version, but for me, running the latter required me to put it in a location where it had permissions to create the 'lapce-data' sub-folder. (And no, there was no sensible error message when that inevitably failed).

Having said that, there doesn't seem to be very much "there" there, right now. I managed to open a C# project using the 'csharp-ls' language server, but, other than suggesting some refactorings that I couldn't successfully apply, there wasn't much that indicated that this actually worked. Debugging certainly didn't.

It did load very fast, though, so that might make it worth checking out again in, oh, a year or so...
They're just criticizing consumers who don't appreciate pro-consumer actions. Don't read too far into it lol.
I think nuclear electric propulsion is probably a viable option as well.
Fair enough. I'm not a big film buff either, but for me that's due to the simplifications necessary for film as a medium rather than the acting, plot, or effects. Those simplifications are less present in a series, miniseries, or a multi-part film.
Nowadays I just assume "lighting fast" means "written in Rust". Even if it's actually slower than the status quo.

I'm a Rust fanboy, so not dunking on Rust. Just an observation.
They missed an opportunity to call it Texas Fold 'Em.
Please improve the UI before adding all the features of VSCODE but better :-)
On a positive note, just to be sure I tried to run Eclipse - its UI is much worse.
HN: please suggest open source code editor with great UI for MacOS.
I try this editor every few months to see how it's progressing and is still way too early to use as a daily driver.

People suggest this over Zed very frequently. In my experience Zed is way more mature and stable. That being said, it's no one near as usable as neovim with a good plugin setup, let alone a mature ide like Jetbrains products.

Jetbrains IDEs might be slow, but I'll get a hell of a lot more done in 8 hours with it. Once you learn to use the features well, it's incredibly powerful. I love vim, but generally use jetbrains.

If Jetbrains took 500ms to load a file vs 1ms to load, my productivity isn't going to change dramatically. It's fast enough. Yes initial indexing is slow, but it's easily worth it.

All this being said, I think Lapce is very informative as a resource to anyone trying to build an editor in rust.
It merely depends what we point the AI at whether we get full blown software engineering out it. I mean right now people only point it at tasks that can be written/watched, reasoned about easily, and then verified. There probably needs to be a jump to the visual spectrum like a wireframe overlay for code/projects which will allow humans to quickly verify what it is "thinking" architecturally. There just needs to be a lot more imagining of ghost features and trade offs somehow. People barely comment code let alone speak of all things that are being done away with.
My wife has a Bernina embroidery machine and the software is simply terrible and overpriced for the upgrades you need to do - it uses a security dongle in order to operate.
> recession

You've got it backwards. Recessions cause rate-drops.

> Try to sell an expensive car on a loan with eye watering APR of, say 10-12%. This did actually happen in the past, and could very well happen again.

Rate-hikes cause us to lose demand. Yes. But we can see that Toyota demand remains strong with less than 30-days-of-inventory on the average.

So the rate-hikes from the current Fed plan are causing expensive cars (like EVs) to lose demand, while cheaper, more-reliable ICE / Hybrid cars from Toyota are selling like hotcakes.

Yes, I'm watching interest rates and am trying to understand how our economy shifts because of them. But at this base level, EVs are doing worse (and the stats prove it), while cheaper cars (namely ICE/Hybrids) are doing far better right now than anyone expected.
The rest of your comment I can get, but the last part is very hard to follow. As the tech evolves you would expect to either get similar features for cheaper, or to get more features for the same money. (Adjusted for inflation, iPhones etc follow this pattern for example.) So I don't really understand the whole concept of better to spend more money now than to spend less money in the future for a better device.
What is the speedup vs cpu?
Wasn't this on HN a few days ago?

There are already good metal printers. They're usually sintering systems - put down a powder and fire it in a furnace. There are systems for 3D printing sand molds for casting.[1] Both of those processes are much more precise than this one.

Metals do usually have a phase in which they're solid, but malleable, and can be worked with modest forces. "Modest" usually means hammers, large presses, or a rolling mill. A good metal extruder working with red-hot but not molten metal would need to be able to apply similar forces. That's what the 3D printers that work with wire and are similar to welders do.[2]
There's directed energy deposition, which converts metal powder to molten metal for a fraction of a second at the deposition point.[3]

This liquid system has the same problem as the 3D printing systems for concrete that were being touted a few years ago. Some kind of molding or die is needed to guide the material at the point the metal becomes a solid, or the result is very rough.

Checking the revenue analytics for my blog.

US visitors made up 66.13% of my revenue, with 14% of spam coming from US IPs.

India made up 0.14% of my revenue, with 5% of spam coming from Indian IPs.

Russia made up 0% of my revenue, with 21% of spam coming from Russian IPs.

I don't do geo-blocking on my website since my spam filter catches pretty much everything these bots are spewing out, but I can certainly see why someone might want to do it. Especially if they're wasting time/money dealing with spam or automated attacks.
Good luck finding where to buy in person. All driven out of business
Just an uninformed one.

Like saying Jackson Pollack just splashed paint around.
I also have been building and offering my own UI on top of the USGS collection of maps (among others in the public domain) at https://pastmaps.com if anyone else finds the existing UIs frustrating like I do. This is a labor of love and something I'm continuing to chip away at and make better and better with time

Interestingly enough, I ended up discovering some incorrect data in their system as part of my ingestion process 4 months ago and directly worked with the USGS to both report the pipeline errors causing bad output and they were incredibly prompt and open to collaborating on identifying the issue and proper fix (roughly a 2 week turnaround from original report to correction). I honestly wonder if this 1700+ update to the ESRI collection is a direct result of that work because the numbers do roughly align so that would be exciting!
The really interesting part for me is what this technology might lead towards in the end, which is decentralized community based curation. An index with white listed curation would be indistinguishable from a website, but it would not need a domain name nor a ip address to function.
There's more detail in another article linked from this one [0]. There is a heavily redacted version of the passport image from the Facebook post in the YouTube video @ 4:00

> Recently the country manager for Aero Dili, Acacia Mota, made a post on Facebook about Cahill with some wild claims. He states that Cahill reached out before his flight, asking for a free flight, free accommodation, a food allowance, and $50,000 in cash, in exchange for a positive review.

> Those are some outrageous claims, so what proof did Mota provide? Well, instead of sharing a screenshot of the alleged extortion attempt, he shared a picture of Cahill’s passport, with all the details showing. Cahill isn’t sure how he got that picture, though it may have been from during check-in (given that there were issues), or from his arrival in the country.

They're also a skill to be learned. Try to get several in succession. Reflect and learn from each. By 5-6 you'll get a job!
Any good if my main computing/work device is a linux/windows desktop? I'm not leaving linux for osx.

I find an interesting philosophical subject in that the last time states seceded from the union for misrepresentation the remaining states declared them in rebellion to the agreement and spent a million lives(on both sides) forcing them back into union. Why not just let them go?

Today given the outcomes of said conflict, it is generally agreed that this was the correct thing to do. Are there guidelines for when a secession is a genuine need to preserve local representation and when it is a gross attempt to preserve local culture that right thinking people have deemed illegal and are trying to stamp out?
That's presumably true for most class action suit plaintiffs, no?
> Why am I downvoted for asking a question?

Because it seems that some on HN treat any skepticism about negative impacts or reports of climate change with disdain. I think they feel that any report that presses the narrative further should be preserved or accepted without question.

The end justifies the means.
Mmm. Well, people can make up their own minds about what's happening.
I remember when how I got maps for cross-country hikes was to go down to the Oakland library and they had a collection of all the USGS quadrangle maps. The lithography of the paper maps was excellent. I'd find the ones for the areas I was interested in (climbing guides list which quads you should have) and Xerox the parts I needed. Sometimes I would order the originals from the USGS or travel to Menlo Park to purchase them at the source. Those stacks of map cases and thousands of maps are now gone. I would have loved to have picked up that full collection when they got rid of them.

The large size and fine detail of a those lithographs are just not reproducible on a portable screen or printout. It's great to have digital versions available to everyone but the originals are works of art.
that is 700 million in revenue. wow
Yeah, lets imagine that magic:

Prompt: AI, production is down. Fix it.
AI: working...

3 days later.

CEO: Hey, dear contractor, our Production is down for 3 days - can you fix it ?
Contactor: Sure, give me $500/hour and within 3 weeks it might work again. You know, you have 10mio SLOC, 1mio npm dependencies so it will take a 'bit' longer...

Yes, its bit oversimplified, but imagine it ;)
I finally got around to testing them all. It turns out that of the 2 I already picked off the top of the stack, one works perfectly and the other works mostly but is slightly intermittent.

The remaining 8 are all either dead or not AY chips at all.
I wouldn't try to insist anything I sketched out is the ~right approach. I was just trying to imagine one path through the possibility space, and then reason a bit about what kinds of information it might be able to convey.

There are almost certainly better paths through, and I suspect the idea isn't broadly usable without different kinds of tests that have different kinds of rules. It's probably not helpful to have to increment your major version just because you use snapshot testing and some dependency update causes a trivial shift in the output.

I also fiddled around a little with an idea I called "earmarks", which are basically just version-bound tests. You could use these to express the idea that, say, test_x shouldn't pass or fail until the version is >= a.b.c.

This would make it easy to deprecate an API today and go ahead and ship a test that requires the API to be present and functioning until the next major release but not after. Or, for example, to make a commitment device that asserts the project will hit some doc/lint/typing goals by some clear point.

Since it's an open-ended mechanism, I imagine something like it is the lower-friction way for a real project to explore applying these concepts without full toolchain support.
Weird that you've sidestepped my points entirely to do vague whataboutism.
Not vim (by design) - but have you tried helix?

The Apple mouse seemed dumb until I actually tried one. It was pretty good and the thing everyone complains about wasn’t a problem at all.
Reducing geometric detail while keeping outlines intact is one of the major showstoppers that prevent current game engines from having realistic foliage. And that exact same problem is also why a Nerf with its near-infinite geometric detail is impractical to use for games. And this paper is yet another way to produce a Nerf.

SpeedTree already used billboard textures 10 years ago and that's still the way to go if you need a forest in UE5. Fortnite did slightly improve upon that by having multiple billboard textures that get swapped based on viewing angle, and they call that impostors. But the core issue of how to reduce overdraw and poly count when starting with a high detail object is still unsolved.

That's also the reason, BTW, why UE5's Nanite is used only for mostly solid objects like rocks and statues, but not for trees.

But until this is solved, you always need a technical artist to make a low poly mesh onto whose textures you can bake your high resolution mesh.
I'm sure they absolutely do use it as a spam signal. You use what you've got. But that's not why they use phone number identifiers, which is a design decision they and others have written ad nauseam about.
As an open source contributor not only did you give your software away for free but you also trained the AI robots who will take away your day job?

GitHub bans organizations without warning or explanation
All organizations on my account have now been hidden from public view with no explanation, no response from Github after over a week and a massive red banner on every page I visit that says "Several of your organizations have been flagged.
Because of that, these organizations are hidden from the public. If you believe this is a mistake, please contact support to have your organizations’ statuses reviewed."

It doesn't even state which organizations are problematic and why.

What is this shit Github? Have other people encountered this? I have literally no controversial organizations on my profile.

Yes, and monarchy is a long standing cultural tradition going back long before the establishment of modern nation states and the bloated megalithic monarchies they produced. I don’t see how what I said goes against the origin of the term (which I am of course aware of).

Your definition is overly narrow. Were the Nazis left wing or were they fighting to preserve Weimar? Is the contemporary far right fighting to maintain the current status quo? Was overturning Roe v Wade aligned with left wing interests or right wing? Etc.

Check if you have an old email or phone number tied to the account. Attackers can get Microsoft to send one-time codes to them, no matter what else you have set up on the account. Worse, it seems this feature was added some time ago and every account was automatically opted into it.

I was getting dozens of one-time code emails per day caused by login attempts via what must have been Tor. None of them were successful logins, but it got me worried. They seem to have stopped after I reworked my account's requirements to include OTP, but now every couple of days my Skype app posts an error that it couldn't log in, when it is clearly logged in just fine. Even that OTP can't be a standard one, it has to be Microsoft authenticator.

Microsoft has been improving in a lot of ways lately but this is not just embarrassingly bad, it's substantially worse than it was a few years ago.
Who's using them? Doesn't seem like theyre very popular - seems like people bought and failed to return them or are hopeful they'll become useful one day.

I think the Civil War is a rare, almost singular, example of the latter.

I'm not sure what the selling point is, not criticizing the product, but as an emacs user of some odd ten years, I feel like as soon as I open the page I should see _something_ that would entice me to switch.
Yey these comments are making me smile.

A bit of both, made a generator that spits out games and then I played 10 procedurally generated levels and picked the ones I liked.

In general my favorite levels are the 7x7 with 5 stones, you can legit logic them out if you are patient. I only put in one since it takes quite a bit of practice to get to that point.
Keeping shipping costs separate incentivises aggregating multiple items for more efficient shipping though (and for buying things you don't really need of course).
I upgraded to Ubuntu 23 a few weeks ago, in which GNOME decided to remove app menus requiring me to install a wonky extension to reclaim functionality. The top horizontal menu is still there taking up screen real estate, mind you, it’s just less useful.

These changes are annoying enough with each upgrade to make me consider switching DEs.
That wouldn’t explain what the size improvements are from the upgrade as the kernel always built nostd.

Most Chinese corporate information isn't going to be found on English Wikipedia tbh.

It's an insular industry and most OEMs and VARs are Taiwanese, Chinese, Singaporean, Thai, or Malaysian so Mandarin is the preferred language as they're all owned by the SEA Chinese diaspora
I think there must be some potential for a usenet revival. The infrastructure is all still there. The binary groups are still flowing with gigabytes of piracy and porn. With some exceptions, most of the text groups are wastelands inhabited only by a few spammers and cranks. There are a few operators who try to preserve the original vision, e.g. eternal-september.org .

It's still a potentially useful discussion system, based on open and documented standards, with no greedy corporation or psychopathic billionaire in charge to run it into the ground. I really think it could be worth doing some brainstorming to try to figure out how to bring it back to life.
It boggles the mind. Good for the team building this, lots of respect entering this crowded and race to the bottom pricing product. But I don’t get how this differs from vs code or why someone would be excited about it. I get the feeling people like trying new editors so they throw stars around for every ide project they come across.

None of the features advertised beat neovim nor does it have the crazy plugin ecosystem.

This is one of those instances where I wonder if there are different expectations in a more visually creative industry like Hollywood, fashion, or something where the appeal of your deck makes a meaningful difference.
It's not much fun to solve because there's no guarantee that a path exists between any given openings on the edge, so it's mostly just "pick a point on the edge at random and see how far you can get". However, it does look very pretty.
Telling someone they got fired for performance reasons when that's not actually true is outright evil.

Well a guy named SWIM got laid off not long ago with exactly this kind of severance, about 6 months left in the year + compensated for unspent time off + got to keep his laptop and monitor. Getting laid off like this was the best thing that happened in his employment history and not just to him, there was a mass layoff and people were anxious they might end up being kept :)

So I completely stopped reading the story after the severance package since that paragraph completely shattered my suspension of disbelief. Any sane (and competent) person would jump at the opportunity of being laid off like this.
There have been a few articles like this and without a return percentage or number of returns it's a worthless waste of reader time. Of course some people who just wanted to try out the device will return it.

I would have a returned a first generation ipad as well (I did try it out on release day but after playing with it for 15 minutes I knew it wasn't for me)

Personally, I'd feel bad to buy one and return it a week later - I'd feed better to pay a restocking fee, because I want to try one out, but don't want to keep it..
