> lead paint (which is an unmitigated disaster on a double hung window, possibly exceeding the degree of hazard from every other lead painted part of a house combined),

I'm drawing a blank; why is lead more dangerous there than elsewhere?
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Wish you had made it into an actual honeypot though!
The best-case IMO is a test suite where writing the test is almost as easy (or maybe easier?) than doing the equivalent manual test. The test code is maybe 2–4x longer than the change.

The worst case is… arbitrarily bad, to the point of being impossible. Test setup is hell because there are too many dependencies. You have to mock the “real world” since (again) things depend on other things too much and you can’t really do a simple string-manipulating change without setting up a whole environment. Also you introduce bugs in your tests that take longer to debug than the real change you are making.

What I feel that we (current project) have fallen into the trap of is that there wasn’t a test suite from the start. Just manual testing. Then when you get to a stage where you feel you need one, the code base is not structured to make automated testing simple.
Taxes are payed on net income not on individual transactions (barring sales tax).

If I make $100 in a year and spend $1000 that year, my income is ($900). How can I spend $1000? Generally through loans and bonds. How do I secure said loans? Generally simply by showing how much VC and income comes in with a business plan that banks accept.

But that's the secret to the money flow. That's also partially why the collapse of SVB was such a blow to the tech industry. A LOT of loans were issued by them.
>I really wouldn't give a shit how much they were paid if we got something more than vague promises.

"We" got a free-as-in-beer general knowledge chat system leagues better than anything at the time, suitable for most low-impact general knowledge and creative work (easily operable by non-technical users), a ridiculously cheap api for it, and the papers detailing how to replicate it.

The same SOTA with image generation, just hosted by Microsoft/Bing.

Like, not to defend OpenAI, but if the goal was improving the state of general AI, they've done a hell of a lot - much of which your average tech-literate person would not have believed was even possible. Not single-handedly, obviously, but they were major contributors to almost all of the current SOTA. The only thing they haven't done is release the weights, and I feel like everything else they've done has been lost in the discussion, here.
> Go doesn’t technially have Enums and it is a missing feature in my book but there is a Go idiomatic way to achieve roughly the same thing.

Oh, so it's a lot like Python then.

> This is fine however it is nothing but an integer under the covers this means what we actually have is:

Oh, so it's a lot like C++ then.

> But what you notice here is we have no string representation of these Enums so we have to build that out next

Have to!

Yes this still all sucks. (But at least there's ugly historical precedent!)
Wilderness and parks are two very different things. Yellowstone is a fantastic park, which by all means is worth the trip to go see. But it's not wilderness. It is a designed and curated experience, by and for humans.

Above is semi dependent on the AWD system.

If it is one of the 'typical' ones you see on something like a Ford Escape or Chevy Blazer where it activates on slippage, you are probably OK on normal roads as long as the wear isn't extreme.

But if it's something with a 50/50 default split or other 'always on' fanciness, tires are cheaper than Diffs.

I love Go. Especially how the devs stubbornly refuse to learn anything from Java, but stumble boneheaded into everything that Java solved over the years. Generics? We don't need that .. (time goes on) .. okay, damn it. Here! Generics! Enums? We don't need that, just do iota/integers!

How long will it be this time until the Go devs accept that Java Enums are a safer and better abstraction over integers for the cases where you'd want an Enum? And that they allow something like EnumSet, which are type-safe bitsets, without everyone having to do that by hand?
There's no doubt that there's a benefit to the employee, but for corporations to adopt this there has to be a measurable benefit to the company as well.

I do think there is one clear benefit as measured in the article - employee retention. It's an extremely strong incentive to stay with the current company, and domain knowledge gained over decades really is a competitive advantage if your employees commonly have it.

What remains to be seen though are if the efficiency gains are good enough to justify less hours. Are employees more productive? That's the question that remains to be answered or objectively measured here. Less burnout and better mental health means higher quality work for sure, but is output as a whole better with a 4 day work week versus a 5 day work week? That's what shareholders will care about more than anything else.
Good to know! I haven't thought about this as deeply as you have, so if you have justification for making your own new format, go for it!
One cool thing is that the these funds don’t actually need active management and that in itself is a form of predatory graft. You could stick them all in a diverse array of index funds and call it a day, as pretty much no fund managers outperform those.

Setting up Proxmox VE in terrible hardware: a home lab story
Hi everyone! I would like to share with you my experience with setting up a home server for the first time using old hardware.

For this I used Proxmox and set up some interesting services such as Blocky DNS proxy, Nginx Proxy Manager, DuckDNS and Let's Encrypt certificates, and a few more.

It was a rewarding experience and I definitely learned a lot. I hope it is an interesting read, I am also open to feedbacks.

I know that was the spirit of the writeup, but I think it's important to be mindful of the big picture.

It reminds me of the struggle with the ivory trade. If you want to stop ivory poaching, the logical step is to ban the sale of ivory. Unfortunately, if the demand is still there, this new scarcity will drive up the price and incentivize more aggressive poaching.

The solution is to also target the demand. When billiards had a boom in popularity during the 1860's, a firm put out a $10,000 reward for anyone that could make a better alternative to ivory billiard balls. This led to the invention of the first synthetic polymer. The firm was able to corner the growing billiards ball market while undercutting the demand for ivory. The invention, for better or worse, also created the synthetic/polymer/plastic industry.

The problem is that old growth wood is better. This is why I would like to large scale densified wood product production take off. In theory, you can take a cheap sustainable product and turn it into a superior, stronger, longer lasting alternative.

> Rust's enums are great.

Rust doesn't have enums. It has sum types – that for some reason it arbitrarily decided to call enums.

Sum types are great. There is a good case to be made that Go would benefit from the addition of sum types. But until that day there isn't much more you can do with enums. That's all enums are – a set of named constants.
That first link seems to talk about voltage swings, not frequency changes, doesn't it?

I do understand that the loss of rotating interia in the grid generation mix is a concern long-term. (See concerns from a report like https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1854457 ), but I hadn't seen any charts showing that we were less frequency stable than in decades past.

I don't get how the latest inverter from Enphase is a specific solution. What does the IQ8 do to help grid stability? I'm legitimately curious. I know many inverters do some kind of frequency -control for curtailing power output, is that what you mean?

Show HN: I made a Chrome extension that can scrape any website with one click
Hi HN!

I made a web scraping Chrome extension that can scrape any website with one click: https://easyscraper.com

I spent the last four years building a different Chrome extension for browser automation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29254147), and what I found was that while having a fully customizable browser automation tool is powerful, it's often overkill for many of the scraping tasks that people had in mind. People wanted something that's quick and easy, so I set out to build a web scraper that's faster and simpler than anything else out there.

Rather than having you individually select all the data that you need and name them like most web scraping tools, Easy Scraper automatically analyzes the page and extracts all the data in a structured format with a single click.

Being able to instantly extract data anywhere is awesome, and one of my favorite use cases is being able to quickly talk to ChatGPT about custom datasets. For example, it was super easy to scrape the front page of HN and each of the profiles of the users who submitted the posts so I can have ChatGPT analyze the data. (Fun fact: The average account age of the front page submitters was 7.7 years! That's actually older than I would have expected.) Another example: If you're planning a vacation, you can quickly scrape rental properties for your dates and ask ChatGPT for recommendations based on your particular preferences.

I designed Easy Scraper to be secure and easy to try out: No extension permissions needed to install! No account signup! I think HN would be proud ;)

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

> The bigger lesson to take from the above: don't build to last too long. What people want out of a house changes over time, and you never correctly anticipate what people will want in the next decade.

Probably even more applicable to software projects!
For the time being, their excuse of not having enough time to validate and secure those capabilities seems valid. In a year, that won't seem as reasonable, and other browser engines will rightly complain.
The duality of AI's capability is beyond comical. On one side you have people who can't decide whether it can even count, on the other side you have people pushing for UBI because of all the jobs it will replace.

Résumé/CV: https://tosh.dev/toshiro-goodson-resume-v2.0.0.pdf

I'm Tosh Goodson, a senior full-stack software engineer / software architect looking for a fast paced environment where I can build exciting, foundational technologies.

My roots are in startup culture: moving fast and iterating. I have a history of working directly with a PM and giving direct ideas and feedback during the design process (both from a technical feasibility and usability standpoint).

I have over 10 years working with Node.js (writing both JS and TypeScript), MongoDB, and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS. I have experience working on the full stack of multiple websites and have some familiarity with relational databases. Additionally, I have several years of writing front end code using React and Next.js.
There's the matter of material concerns, but there's also the matter of consent. These companies have presented their products as being functionally identical to doing things in house, but with the advantage of not having to. Their whole selling point is privacy, compliance, security, etc.

It's like when people found out that Ring/Alexa staff were viewing their recordings and got upset. Even if they make super sure not to commit any further violations with their access, the act of consuming and making use of my data is a violation in of itself. It violates my privacy, and my ownership of my data. Even if my data can't be retrieved from the product you use it to make, it still feels icky that you changed the terms of our deal without my permission, and took advantage of our relationship to make extra money off of stuff that is fundamentally mine, and I have no recourse.

If my landlord surveilled my apartment and sold the footage on PPV but only in China, the material consequences to my quality of life would be negligible. There's virtually no way that any of the people watching the footage would ever contact me or interact with me in any way, especially if they did it with all of their tenants and randomized the footage such that it's hard to track one specific person. But it would still feel super weird and bad, and it would still be a violation of our relationship.

Except most employers just do what everyone else does - and one might say “the market forces them to” but that’s total nonsense.

Look at remote work, it was fairly uncommon in programming and very uncommon outside of programming.

Then everyone was forced to do it with Covid and now it’s much more common because it works. Everyone was free to negotiate at any time before and after Covid, but anything that was even mildly radical would be met with a hard no. Simply because nobody else does it that way.

I agree that it shouldn’t be mandated with laws, but I don’t agree that it should be left totally up to employer / employee because the power balance of negotiation still sits with the employer too much.

Unfortunately I don’t know what the solution is, we need some external force that’s not as firm as a law to push a large number of companies to 4 days, what could that be I wonder… ?
I’d happily take a 20% pay cut for a 4 day work week, if it was offered.

The balance is that if the park doesn't let enough people in, the people stop supporting the park. America is democratic. Parks are not protected by royal proclamation. If the park is inaccessible then people don't visit. Then they don't care about it. Then one day someone wants to drill for oil in the park, and nobody cares enough to vote that down.

I really don't mind the car-camping crowd. They stay inside their gravel circles and don't impact the real wilderness much. But come time to vote they will always far outnumber the dedicated rock climbers. I want the car campers on my side. If that means giving them their parking spots then so be it.

I agree, and I have to think that's what will happen. Other EVs in North America have already consolidated around the Tesla charging standard, and it would be a really frustrating customer experience if customers are unable to charge because there are no charging stations with two adjacent free spots (and even then, I think most people won't want to feel like the jerk who is taking up two free spots) or else an open spot on the end.
