> Even a kid

I hear such comparisons quite often on discussions like this, and I always wonder… have you seen a kid's idea of "creative"? Even one about to finish school?

One time my geography homework was a cut-out of a photocopy of an encyclopaedia image of Italy, surrounded by notes copied verbatim from that same page, and it got top marks. My GCSE English "creative writing" exercise was a mixture of the empty village in Riven, Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax, and the "oborot" shape-shifting spell from Sabine Baring-Gould’s Book of Were-Wolves. When we were tasked with coming up with our own versions of the witches' brew from Macbeth — why is Shakespeare sill so popular? Don't we have any new ideas? — all the students came up with much the same "new ingredients" as each other.

When technology advances we should advance the way our society is set up (which a lot of people forget is possible). We shouldn't try limit researchers from trying to come up with new stuff because all of science is related in some way, these advancements related to ML might help cure cancer in the future.
Agree on all points. It's delightful to compile your app and... it just works. No nulls.

I still use it for personal projects where 8 can but Elm is showing its age. Newer JavaScript APIs are not well supported and ports, while I understand why they exist, can be painful to use.

From an investment standpoint, Google is a curious play, as it shares a massive ad market duopoly with Meta, yet invests billions in dubious product lines with uncertain payoffs or futures as leads move out to move up. The graveyard of cancelled Google products has been documented to the point of parody.

Personally I think the whole executive team is out to lunch, too comfortable with their printing press to do much if anything about Google’s structural dysfunctions.

Anyway, I'm not denying your specific experience. It all depends on the time and the place and the parents, and those can all be different. I'm not even denying that firstborns may be treated a little differently than later children. What I am denying is that firstborn risk consciousness can explain a major societal shift in childrearing attitudes. In general, firstborn children 50 years ago were given much more personal freedom than even later children today, despite the fact that "GenX" was a smaller generation in population with few siblings.

>Having governments finance the plants does not reduce the cost, it is a subsidy transferring the risk to the government with the taxpayers being on the hook instead of the banks.

There's no "transferring the risk", energy safety is as much responsibility of the government as everyone else. Taxpayers are on the hook for everything government does, it makes as much sense as buying police cars from a budget.

If the power plant fails, everyone loses due to lack of power. The magical idea that some kind of failure of power plant does not affect every citizen, but only shareholders is just not true.

Exactly. Not even talking about app store which has a wide selection of games, if you just look at xbox store, which is presumably of higher quality (there is a higher bar for publishing in Xbox store -- you can't just create a new account and start publishing), it has a ton of games that have bad reviews and don't make sense to me - including from publishers like EA. Well, some people are playing those games, and EA is still around and doing well. Sounds like the person doesn't really play games much or understand how this works.

US Action to Address Risks of Autos from China and Other Countries of Concern
I wish that there was an option to make Plasma look and feel exactly like classic KDE 1 and 2 did back in the day.
Research indicates that SUVs are indeed more dangerous to pedestrians compared to other vehicle types in the United States. A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) highlighted that late-model SUVs are more likely to cause fatalities to pedestrians than cars. This is attributed to the higher front profile of SUVs, which tends to result in more severe injuries upon impact. The study found that at speeds greater than 19 mph, SUVs caused more serious injuries and were more likely to result in pedestrian fatalities compared to cars. Specifically, at speeds of 20-39 mph, 30% of crashes with SUVs resulted in pedestrian fatalities, compared to 23% for cars. At speeds of 40 mph and above, all crashes with SUVs resulted in pedestrian fatalities, compared to 54% with cars. This indicates a significant increase in the risk posed by SUVs at higher speeds[0].

Further research supports these findings, showing that trucks and SUVs with hood heights greater than 40 inches are about 45% more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than shorter vehicles with sloped hoods. The study, also by the IIHS, used data from nearly 18,000 crashes and noted that tall, squared-up hoods, characteristic of many best-selling SUVs and trucks, contribute significantly to the risk. The number of pedestrian deaths has significantly increased, with pedestrian fatalities jumping 13% to 7,342 in 2021, marking the highest number since 1981. This rise in pedestrian deaths has outpaced the increase in overall U.S. traffic deaths, highlighting a growing crisis in road safety related to larger vehicles[1].

These findings underscore the need for vehicle design changes to improve pedestrian safety, particularly as the proportion of SUVs on U.S. roads continues to rise. Despite advancements in vehicle safety that have reduced overall motor vehicle crash fatalities, the increased lethality of SUVs to pedestrians poses a significant challenge that requires attention from both manufacturers and regulatory bodies.

I don't imagine we'll be getting the upgrade anytime soon (in Mexico, and logistically in general I don't know how an upgrade/swap would be handled).

The jitter/etc fixes look great, but we are off-grid here on limited solar power (we have to unplug the fridge every night or we won't have any battery left in the morning). So a little disappointed to see increased power consumption (glad that we would never need the snowmelt feature here).

I do hope that someone balls this up into an arduino core so it can be used with the arduino IDEs, it even supports the atmega328P already.

Purely for making it easy to try out without too much setup. e.g. click a button in the boards manager, and everything should just work.

This saved my ass when I was able to switch to a third-party AVR core which allowed changing the clockspeed so I could have working serial on a chip running slower than 16mhz and get a demo out of an otherwise busted board.

Ask HN: Replacement for Confluence Wiki
We need to retire our public facing Confluence wiki due the numerous security flaws they find daily ( hourly ? ) in it.

What can we replace it with ?

We checked out Atlassian 'Cloud' but they force show some items including author details, internal pages, etc. There is apparently no way to disable that.

We checked out Notion.so which has a very nice Confluence import option which worked great. However Notion.so does not have a side-menu for navigation in the public version of the wiki! They conveniently have that in the Admin version so you can navigate your wiki, but not in the public version. I contacted support and they admitted they don't have this - I can't for the life of me understand why not.

I checked out Zendesk but they have no option to import from Confluence.

I figured maybe someone here already went down this path - is there a good replacement for a Confluence public wiki that can also import data from Confluence itself ?

Thanks!

SSTO is driven by the notion that staging is dangerous and worth avoiding. I think the SpaceX experience shows that effort was better spent making staging reliable rather than trying to make SSTO work.
A good and important thesis, but the content is from a source frequently biased and bittered by political ideology. I personally wouldn't want to read something I know is coming from that place of mind if I could find other sources on the same topic, making the same argument ("same" in the binary sense).
Yeah similar experience here, At work we are forced to use a distro with GNOME (well at least it is GNU/Linux and not that Microsoft bloated spyware) and yeah I have plenty of crashes in GNOME. No crashes at home with KDE Plasma on openSUSE Tumbleweed. It has been rock stable.

> For two decades online payment webpages stole credit card numbers and stole money from people. I could list many more documented cases.

In this case, it's better than debit cards as you are not out of money until the bank reverts the fraudulent charge.

Now with 3DS this is way better, but I am way wearier of using my debit card number online (so I generate temporary cards) compared to credit - if they steal the card number, there is no problem.
But why would I leave behind the bias of the source, the article author, and the book author? The article alone has a ton of clickbait red flags. It uses hyperbolic phrases like “devastating picture” and “takes a sledgehammer” and “school regimes.”

The only data source mentioned in the article is one that indicates that people are more unhappy now than ever. The argument here is that the reason for this is…therapy?

So what is there to take issue with? It’s just opinions, and given the framing of both the article and the book itself - why should I entertain it more than I already have? Give me a data based critique and I’m happy to engage because I believe there is a valid critique of modern therapy.

edit: This is a more nuanced and informed critique on the state of modern therapy, and while it doesn't directly address adolescents, they do discuss that group in relation to perpetual therapy: https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/archive/2024/02/how-we-...

I like its simplicity and the straight forward workflow it provides. Years ago, I used to use KDE and enjoyed it but these days, I want something that is functional while being vanilla and standard as possible and personally, that's what GNOME gives me.
It's fascinating because its also expected in a way.

I had to do a double take regarding the single click "issue" because later in the article it is mentioned that scroll bar behavior was changed to accommodate users with RSI.

So what is it KDE? Do you care about RSI or not? I'm no longer a young person anymore, and appreciate any features to prevent RSI. I think its silly to relent on the single click due to "new user pressure".

At least there is still an option for it, I suppose.
The images are great for memes/sh*tposting. These are still curated content though.
The corporation is the legal embodiment of our joint interests. It is the only reasonable place to put the lobbying efforts. The silly thing you propose would in fact be workable for a small number of owners like this hypothetical, but how would a public corporation with diffuse ownership engage with the government under this proposal?

It’s really no different than a company defending itself in court. A legislative or regulatory proposal can be just as confiscatory or punitive, or have as many unexpected consequences, as a lawsuit. In both cases, the business needs to lawyer up and represent its interests.
I'm loving Plasma 6 so far. Wayland support is much better!

I had been using a keyboard shortcut to switch to the previously-used desktop. When KDE removed it [1], I filed a bug [2]. Hours later, a KDE dev created a new KWin script [3] to replace this functionality, fixing my workflow. THANKS! KDE is awesome!

I was at the 2023 Strange Loop talk and thoroughly enjoyed it as well as Jack Rusher’s Geometric Algebra talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cRFfYQYGxE. Both of them reignited my fascination with Clojure and the things you can do with it (that can be done in other languages too, of course, but aren’t necessarily as good of a fit).

I think the piece that’s missing though is a good on-boarding documentation. I was sufficiently motivated that I fought my way through getting Clerk set up and could use it as a (IMHO) much nicer Jupyter alternative but ultimately threw in the towel and went back to SymPy for my day-to-day CAS work because the documentation just isn’t there yet. Like… if I tried for long enough I could usually trace my way through what was happening and probably get the result I was looking for, but the ratio of (time spent solving math problems)/(time spent trying to figure out how to express my math problem in a way that Emmy would solve) was way too low. SymPy has that issue too for sufficiently complex problems, but the documentation is significantly more mature.

If I end up with some free time down the road I’d be happy to help out with this. I think it’s an amazing piece of tech that really fits with my mental model of what I’d love a CAS system to look like, it just has a pretty steep learning curve right now.

I'm a recent convert to Nostr.

Four things I love about it:

- It's "just" JSON and WebSockets. From a developer's perspective, it's incredibly easy to get started and build interesting things with it. (Like the early days of Twitter.) Which leads to...

- Nostr culture is tolerant of bots and other automated workflows. (Unlike current management of Twitter)

- Nostr culture is tolerant of search engines. (Unlike fediverse, or at least the Mastodon part, though I appreciate the reasons for that distinction.)

- Built-in micropayment infrastructure with "zaps" and Lightning Network integration enables a ton of interesting new startup idea possibilities.

One thing I don't like about Nostr, the social network. (Not Nostr, the protocol. Those two things are very easily conflated right now):

- Too many Bitcoin bros. (Although personally I don't mind Bitcoin, a thriving platform should have more than one thing to talk about.)
