I have considered porting mixminion to Go and implementing it as designed.. it's pretty interesting. I think it would be neat if you added "bridges" like an SMTP -> Mixminion and Mixminion -> IRC/Matrix/etc.

Of course, you could chain something like Mixmaster -> SMTP bridge -> Mixminion or Mixminion -> Tor -> IRC/Matrix/etc.

edit:

I submitted the URL to HN as well.

as a swahili speaker I'd say that the beauty of swahili is that it's commonplace to butcher these noun classes unless you're from Tanzania. Kenyans, Congolese, Ugandas do it all the time
These are people you are talking about. Not bonsai trees waiting for you to shape and impose your desires on.
YMMV I feel that I have more economical choices than political choices. This isn't a question to me.
Has there been a formal specification/model that we can check? I love circular buffers but I'm curious how we know that the design is correct with respect to the stated properties.

I did a bit of link diving to the various blog posts and sites but haven't been able to find it. Would be nice, if it exists, to have it front and centre.

It could be an oversight because the intended audience is pilots. I think the answer might be that nose up increases the chance of a stall, so more power is added to increase airspeed and therefore lift. I'm not a pilot though, I found this article when trying to understand how simply tilting the wings causes a turn.
Show HN: We built the fastest spreadsheet
Note RSS is an ill-defined polling protocol. The server emits an RSS file which has the top N pieces of content.

All you can do is poll it at a greater or less frequency and hope you don't underpoll or overpoll. (I can easily fetch the RSS feed for an independent blog 1000 times for every time I fetch an HTML page, but should I? What if I wanted to follow 1000 independent blogs?)

With ActivityPub on the other hand you can ask for all updates since the last time you checked so there is a well-defined strategy to keep synced.
I don't know - just anecdotally, the majority of non-tech 30-somethings I know certainly say this. There was a period where Google both loudly announced things that wouldn't last (Google Glass) or killed enough niche products in quick succession (Wave!) that the impression stuck.
The surprising thing is corporate landlords owning single-family homes. That is the aberration; most corporate landlords want to own multi-tenant buildings to eke out a bit more profit from the economies of scale.

The fact that they do own 19,000 homes is indicative of appreciation being insane (and they're gambling on that, when it slows down they'll dump) OR they're stuck with them for whatever reason and trying to deal with it as best they can (banks in the 2000s crisis often did NOT rent the houses they foreclosed on, because it would cost them more than just leaving them empty).
That was very much a news media thing. Many parents rightfully ignored it as such.
> This is precisely the issue with UX-led processes. When you're dealing with very hard engineering problems, you really don't yet know enough to be designing a product.

I suppose we can get into the weeds on how you define "designing a product," but under the right circumstances targeting a specific experience and working backwards to the technology has pretty clear benefits.

Ignoring Apple - because this kind of over-the-top process is just how they're wired - look at something like a modern automatic defibrillator. Literally any human being can use one with zero training because the goal was "make a defibrillator that someone can operate with one button" from the beginning.

If your goal is instead e.g. "make this existing defibrillator easier to use," you might still end up with a really good product but you probably don't have something that my mom could reasonably be expected to deploy if she runs across someone having a heart attack on the street.
Yes but conjugations is not something you have to worry about, especially at the beginning.

In a language with articles, you can do mistakes in conjugation, yet if you use the article people will understand what/who is the subject and still understand.

When you learn a language, focus on present tense. By using words like before/after/yesterday/tomorrow you can keep using present tense and be understood by a native speaker and you are likely to learn quickly the past and present tense by listening to their answers. People usually understand that you are learning and don't mind you using present tense.
> Housing that is owned by corporations have no price controls. They will charge what the market will bear

That has nothing to do with corporate ownership, that is all housing in the US except for the tiny tiny fraction of deed-restricted LIHTC financed means-tested housing and the minuscule amount of public housing left in the US. Corporations can own deed-restricted means-tested price controlled housing, but that's not SFH.

So there's zero change in profit seeking when corporations own homes versus anybody else owning homes. The entire real estate industry focuses on maximizing property values. Homeowners sell based on maximum price, there are zero price controls on any of it. Plus, primary residences get capital gains tax exemptions that corporations do not, further incentivizing homeowners to profit even more than corporations.

> Housing owned by corporations is housing that can't be owned by homeowners.

I think this makes it clear, you only consider the homeowners the "people" and view corporations as competitors in the housing market. I think we should have a broader view and consider the interests of renters too, as full people.

Those 3.5% down payment mortgages have additional mortgage insurance payments that are outrageous and drive up the mortgage price considerably.
I'm not sure the article itself is an unbiased source, given that it is published by a pro-UBI website.

It seems likely that the article's assumptions about who is opposing UBI and why they are opposing it are erroneous. I personally oppose UBI for the reasons I described above, by my motivations have nothing to do with anything the article is talking about.

It's also possible that various factions are using positioning around UBI proposals as a proxy or as a tactic to advance other, more complex, political aims.

It is very definitely based on ideas from Asimov's books (along with a small pile of other inspirations – the clone emperors arguing amongst themselves reminds me a lot of Ann Leckie's Ancillary series).

The adaptation is very lose, but to say it has nothing in common beyond names is unfair.

I'm enjoying it (though not massively “wow”ed). A very accurate rendition of those works really would not make good TV, so I wasn't expecting it to be close to the original.
Ask HN: How would you go about meeting a bunch of new people IRL?
This is part of my social anxiety therapy. I am trying to come up with strategies to meet hundreds of new people over the course of this year. The goal is not to build friendships but to have substantial "in the moment" interactions. Obviously a party of some sort would be the ideal place because I could maybe manage four or five such interactions over the course of the evening. But getting invited to parties is kinda challenging for me since I don't have many good contacts where I presently live. So I need other ideas...
It sounds like what you are paid to do. If it was outside your scope I think it might be different.
Just make personalized advertising illegal.

Leave the rest to the marketplace.
Expect to see every kind of innovation from here on out, as the launch ecosystem fills in every 'ecological niche'.

Sure this isn't a direct competitor to {whatever pundits argue}. But if it works for even one kind of mission, then in this modern space age, it has a place.

Like road vehicles, there are sedans, commuters, offroad, and heavy haulers, heck even trains. One vehicle will never do it all.
> On the other hand, if I have mountains of data that proves my point, or if the problem is nuanced, you'll hear all of it.

I wouldn't consider this rambling. There are many people who just talk to fill space. Their point was made in the first 10 seconds and then they just keep going. IMO, that's very different than going over all the data or explaining a nuance.
the new device would be to avoid the constraints of Apple. Apple wouldn't allow an app that is always listening to you to run, unless it's always open which isn't user-friendly at all.

there's a reason why all these companies are coming out with their own hardware. Apple severely limits your ability to create these as apps.
In QuestDB, only SYMBOL columns can be indexed. However, sometimes, queries can run faster without indexes. This is because, under the hood, QuestDB runs very close to the hardware and only lifts relevant time partitions and columns for a given query. Therefore table scans between given timestamps are then very efficient. This can be faster than using indexes when the scan is performed with SIMD and other hardware-friendly optimizations.

When cardinality is very high, indexes make more sense.
And those caps were probably fully recyclable.

I expected to at least see photos of the cap and the one it's replacing.
Founder/CEO here.

When I worked in AWS S3, I spent a lot of time in Excel. Even as a dev, it was the fastest way to explore data, build models, and share forecasts with business partners. My Excel usage was plagued by slow performance, poor cloud integration, and no first-class Python support. I loved the richness and responsiveness of Excel, but I had to give up too much power to get it. This felt like a false choice, so 3 years ago I started working on it.

Today we're launching Row Zero. Row Zero looks and feels like Excel and Google Sheets, but 100-1000x faster. You can easily import gigabytes of CSV, JSONL, and Parquet files or connect directly to Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres, and S3. We also support Python natively. You can call Python functions that return pandas data frames and manipulate the results directly in the spreadsheet.

Under the hood, Row Zero is a high-performance columnar engine written in Rust. Running in AWS lets us scale compute up and down and import quickly from S3 and Snowflake. When you open a workbook, we place it in the AWS region closest to you so it feels as snappy as a desktop application.

The app is built by 5 ex-principal engineers from Amazon S3, Tableau, and Airtable. We're the team that wrote the file system that powers S3.

We've been in beta for a year. Use us to refine big CSVs, build complex financial models, create dashboards, and share large data sets. We're also a killer Snowflake/Postgres client. Give us a try and let us know what you think.
I can't agree with this more and that's the beauty of KDE. If I'm sitting down using this thing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, little niceties and optimizations go a long way to making me happy and productive. And it doesn't take very long to make these little tweaks.
power is added to offset the increase in induced drag from the increased AOA. Altitude is a secondary concern; what you are more concerned about is stalling the wing.
Yes, that’s why OP cited the Congressional popular vote. What’s happening is that both parties gerrymander, so it largely cancels out. For example in Maryland, democrats won 65% of the 2022 Congressional popular vote, but hold 87.5% of the House seats. The 450,000 or so excess Republican votes—votes for republicans which didn’t contribute to a Republican house seat—cancels out some excess Democratic votes in Montana or Wyoming.
I think a lot of that fits into "ethical."

Efficient and humane line up not 100%, but more often than not. Bad things:

1) You don't have a clean kill.

Worst-case outcome is a wounded animal surviving. Better is where hunting is right now: Clean shot to the lungs, and the animal dies in minutes or tens of minutes. Best would be one shot leads to an almost instant kill.

2) You have a clean-ish kill, but lose the animal

You hit the lungs. Animal wanders off before dying, and you never find the animal. It rots away drifting down a river somewhere, polluting the river and spreading disease.

... and so on. If we can get a shaped charge in a drone to kill an animal instantly, cleanly, and comparatively painlessly, it 100% takes away from the sport, but might be 100% more ethical than a 0.22 shot to the lungs. If we track it with thermal optics on an MQ-1 Predator Drone circling overhead, again, less sporting, more ethical.

(And yes, I can come up with examples of more efficient / less ethical too; as I started, things don't line up 100% of the time
Not really.

First, nobody cares what anybody on the Fediverse says. It's tiny. It's pinnacle "app", Mastodon, is losing lots of MAU every single day and is now below 1M MAU. Besides being tiny, it's scattered and discovery and search do not work. How can this mess possibly counter propaganda?

Second, whilst the Fediverse may not have sophisticated algorithms, it very much has censorship and typically way more than traditional social networks. It's basically a collection of far-left misfits that engage in constant defederation wars. You can't even post a photo of a meal because somebody will be "triggered".

After what they did to Foundation, I’m not feeling very optimistic about this.
To some extent, but I don't think it's anywhere near as entrenched and pervasive as a large-scale UBI program would make it.
I'm surprised the Jack Benny Show isn't mentioned. It was frequently the most popular radio show and it was sponsored by Jell-O from 1934 - 1942. During every episode ( at least every one that I've listened to) the announcer Don Wilson would do a commercial for Jell-O with a new salad recipe, usually the format was something like "What could be sadder than a spring bride who doesn't know what to make for desert? For tonight, try {cutesy salad name}." The recipe would follow. I remember in particular one that had Salmon and Lemon Jell-O.

Jack and Mary's recipe book was published in 1937 chock full of Jell-O salad recipes. I have a copy here, it's delightful.

I think we just fundamentally disagree; I don't believe institutional ownership of some classes of residential real estate should exist and there should be rent control when needed, when supply simply will never meet demand. The evidence in my citations above demonstrate why. Housing > profits, it's really that simple. Institutional investors can find another asset class for exposure.
Very well written one! It clearly shows that we have a long way to go...

> lede asks "why you need to add back pressure and power" and then only explains back pressure

It's a good question. From 5-22 of the FAA's Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:

"An aircraft is not steered like a boat or an automobile. In order for an aircraft to turn, it must be banked. If it is not banked, there is no force available to cause it to deviate from a straight flight path. Conversely, when an aircraft is banked, it turns provided it is not slipping to the inside of the turn. Good directional control is based on the fact that the aircraft attempts to turn whenever it is banked. Pilots should keep this fact in mind when attempting to hold the aircraft in straight-and-level flight.

Merely banking the aircraft into a turn produces no change in the total amount of lift developed. Since the lift during the bank is divided into vertical and horizontal components, the amount of lift opposing gravity and supporting the aircraft’s weight is reduced. Consequently, the aircraft loses altitude unless additional lift is created. This is done by increasing the AOA until the vertical component of lift is again equal to the weight. Since the vertical component of lift decreases as the bank angle increases, the AOA must be progressively increased to produce sufficient vertical lift to support the aircraft’s weight. An important fact for pilots to remember when making
constant altitude turns is that the vertical component of lift must be equal to the weight to maintain altitude.

At a given airspeed, the rate at which an aircraft turns depends upon the magnitude of the horizontal component of lift. It is found that the horizontal component of lift is proportional to the angle of bank—that is, it increases or decreases respectively as the angle of bank increases or decreases. As the angle of bank is increased, the horizontal component of lift increases, thereby increasing the rate of
turn (ROT). Consequently, at any given airspeed, the ROT can be controlled by adjusting the angle of bank.

To provide a vertical component of lift sufficient to hold altitude in a level turn, an increase in the AOA is required. Since the drag of the airfoil is directly proportional to its AOA, induced drag increases as the lift is increased. This, in turn, causes a loss of airspeed in proportion to the angle of bank. A small angle of bank results in a small reduction in airspeed while a large angle of bank results in a large reduction in airspeed. Additional thrust (power) must be applied to prevent a reduction in airspeed in level turns. The required amount of additional thrust is proportional to the angle of bank."

The article just omitted the last paragraph.

(You may notice the outside/downward aileron causing the bank by increasing lift also increasing drag, thereby causing the plane to yaw outward [2].)

I guess I should have stated that I agree that it can be confusing and that it might actually be better to have it turned off by default. I'm just expressing my worry that it will go away entirely soon if no one remembers it. I think I've been traumatized by firefox dropping things randomly, lol.
Spanish and German are far more consistent than English. Mandarin Chinese has Pinyin which is modern and quite consistent - Pinyin is very useful because you can type it and select the corresponding Chinese characters.
Hopefully we can get really widespread 2.5D packaging and just start including “oops all SRAM” layers.
Most people who speak Swahili speak it as a second language. This process - when the majority of speakers of a language are non-native - tends to simplify a language. For example, Swahili has a much simpler set of sounds than most other Bantu languages, many of which are tonal (Swahili is not tonal), and many of which have three or four way contrasts in their stop consonants (Swahili has two), and some of which have click consonants (Swahili has few "unusual" sounds).
^This seems to have been downvoted for tone. Fair enough, but I do encourage anyone with an interest in Esperanto to read the linked document. It is a classic post on the complexities of Esperanto that are not obvious to the casual learner, that contains quite a lot of insight.

At least you’re not in need of care, are overweight, and have state medical records. I need something looked at, and the first Dr I went to noticed my weight obviously and told me my issue is weight related and I need to lose weight before getting any further care. They then entered this info into my medical record that synchronizes with every other provider in the state. Now anybody I go to says the same and I still have pain.

How I love socialized medicine!
It seems mildly incredible to me that a plan which was passed under the guise of reducing traffic wouldn't claim an eventual decrease of more than 3% if they were expecting to get there.
