I've found that muscle memory helps a lot with meta-x and ctrl-g, but the save combo is never used. This is because I USA Mac and just use command-s for save nowadays. Muscle memory also helps with the other 2 macro keys, which are at the bottom left of the keyboard and fairly easy to hit with a pinky or ring finger. You're absolutely right, it's a reach and I'd prefer that the keys were positioned below the space bars.

I actually swapped out and moved the upper right keys such that I have a home and end key as well as page up/down and delete.

It's still my end game keyboard. It sounds and feels great!

(I'll check out the macro recorder too)
I'm not sure that's correct.

> An establishment that on September 1, 2022, operates a bakery that produces for sale on the establishment’s premises bread as defined under Part 136 of Subchapter B of Chapter I of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations shall not be considered a fast food restaurant, so long as it continues to operate such a bakery. This exemption applies only where the establishment produces for sale bread as a stand-alone menu item, and does not apply if the bread is available for sale solely as part of another menu item.

Jimmy John's would also be exempt by this wording since they sell their old bread (or at least I think they do). I guess Subway wouldn't since I don't think you can buy just bread from them.
That's nice they corrected course, but you couldn't point out ONE EXISTING "poor working condition" that you claim exists?

Reply if you do have one, otherwise don't bother.

> they already deal with poor working conditions.

Incase you need to be reminded what you said.
You execute arbitrary commands with troff. I used this feature a lot for getting output from code samples, but it's definitely a security issue if you don't trust the source. Or, if you think shelling out is too boring, the troff macro language is actually turing complete and is a disturbingly usable for scripting.

You need to compute Easter so you know when Good Friday is, if the buses run different than normal on that holiday.

edit: or, because the buses would observe the Easter holiday the next day, quoting OP:

> including the observed holiday which is the weekday after the holiday if the original holiday falls on a weekend.

It’s always gibberish, it’s just really good at guessing.

I forgot what exactly it was I was doing. We were trying to get it to generate word lists of words ending with x or maybe it was starting with. For a marketing PoC and it made up oceans of words that not only didn’t start/end with x but mostly didn’t include x at all.

Isn’t this also why it can pass CS exams and job interviews better than like 95% of us, but then can’t help you solve the most simple business process in the world. Because nobody has asked that question two billion times on its training data.
as far as I know no continuous measuring device can measure your blood fructose level. It was mentioned in the book, saying that different kinds of foods might spike your blood glucose level in a similar fashion, yet behind the scenes blood fructose could be wildly different, with a different body reaction.
Putting that kind of pressure into cleaning up smoking is pretty cool.

Ask HN: Question on YC Application
3 of us are students at a top 5 university in the US. We have been pretty good friends and worked together on things for over a year now. And 6 months ago my uncle who has a very strong technical background in a tech related but non-tech space had a good idea that addresses his field of work, and is only recently possible to actually address because of new technology that has come out in the past year or so. And luckily, all three of us have either experience in this direct tech field, or adjacent skills necessary to tackle the problem. The three of us have already agreed to an equal equity split amongst us technical founders, and my uncle is fine with a lower equity split since he's not doing any of the actual technical work. His value stems from the fact that he has a really good understanding of what the user would want since he is from the field. And he is high up in his firm and has lots of good relationships for us to use for testing the product, and getting customers. So we have no issue with his equity stake and even want to give him a royalty since his additional value stems from his ability to get us customers. The problem though is that he does not want to leave his job, and quite frankly we don't need him to nor want him to. YC requires founders to leave their jobs but him leaving his job would not really help us since we want to test it on the people at his firm. Moreover, he isn't coding so we don't really need him full time. And he also works remote for his job so the amount of time he can commit, is in line with what we need. Would YC accept this from a founder? He's kind of a unique case since his value is actually increased by him staying at his job.
Ah. That makes sense. I thought Easter was always in March or April, but it can indeed occasionally be in May. TIL. Thanks!
Oof, I kind of suspected this might be the case.
Idk about sound quality being higher, audio quality reviews show iPhones having pretty good quality, and they support external DACs.

This is basically what HOOBS markets. They've really fallen to the movement of open source though.

I think there's still a world in which you can buy an rPi with software preinstalled and updaters packaged without much effort though.

If that could take off, you could easily have this type of service. However, I think it falls apart because you need to govern the app store and that is expensive and difficult.

But Good Friday has the same property as Easter, namely, that it's always on a Friday (duh!). Just like Mardi Gras is always on a Tuesday and Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday.
You may not have personally, nonetheless when M.D. physicians refer patients for a pysch eval they're suggesting an issue can't be fixed with a splint or antibiotics.

Maybe there's an underlying chemical imbalance, perhaps not; they typically leave that to those that specialized in psychiatry; physicians that completed not just a medical degree but also a degree in clinical psychiatry.

> But it doesn't support ... Dolby Atmos or DTS.

No, I think you're wrong about that.

> DisplayPort v1.2 also adds new audio enhancements including the following: — Audio Copy Protection and category codes — High definition audio formats such as Dolby MAT, DTS HD, all Blu-Ray formats, and the DRA standard from China — Synchronization assist between audio and video, multiple audio channels, and multiple audio sink devices using Global Time Code (GTC)

MAT claims to require an Atmos-capable decoder, so that sure seems like Atmos to me. I dunno what DTS HD, but that sounds like a souped-up DTS. Also take note of the "High definition audio formats such as" statement... that list of formats is incomplete.

One problem with discussing language relationships is that there are (at least) two conflicting viewpoints on grouping languages. Historical linguists like to classify languages according to the genetic heritage of the people speaking them. They like to think of English and its heritage as West Germanic.

The other method of grouping is by degree of mutual intelligibility. It appears that Anglo-Saxon evolved to become mutually intelligible with Old Norse, so on pragmatic terms, they could be considered dialects of a common language.

Edit: I'll add that from my experience in the domains of applied linguistics and public policy, the practical distinction most commonly made is that if two speech forms are mutually intelligible, we call them dialects, and if not we call them separate languages. For some reason, that seems to really upset some people.

Streamline CRM with LinkedIn and Twitter Contacts Integration into Notion
Excited to share a tool I've developed aimed at solving a common challenge for professionals and businesses alike: maintaining an up-to-date CRM without the tedious task of manual data entry. My plugin, designed for seamless integration, automatically imports LinkedIn and Twitter contacts directly into Notion CRM with just a single click.

The goal was to create a solution that not only saves time but also ensures that your CRM system is always current, allowing for more effective networking and customer relationship management. Ideal for sales teams, marketers, freelancers, and anyone who relies on social media for business networking, this tool simplifies the process of contact management.

I'm looking for feedback, suggestions, and any insights you might have on further improving this integration for users. How do you currently manage your social media contacts in your CRM? What challenges have you faced, and what features would you like to see in the future?
Addition looks like a donut with a twist, in both finite and infinite, one-point compactified cases. (A reason we recognize them as “the same” operation.)

Imagine a clock laying on a table, and then placing clocks at each number which are rotated that number of steps. (Equivalently, so the number on the new clock matches the original clock at that spot.) If you trace where the numbers are on these clocks, you get bands that twist around the torus. This shape [0].

So we have:

1. Product of two circles.

2. A simple 2D shape with a hole.

3. Addition.

…all mixed up in one shape. So it shows up a lot of places.

"Dark side of working in the video game industry: 100-hour weeks and on-the-spot sackings" - https://www.ns-businesshub.com/business/working-conditions-i...

"This crunch culture is deeply intertwined with the lack of work-life balance at Rockstar Games. Many employees reported feeling pressured to prioritise work over personal life, leading to burnout and mental health issues. The expectation of long hours and constant availability fosters an environment where employees struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

A former employee stated that they had “worked 80 hour weeks at Rockstar until [they] had a breakdown. If I hadn’t, my contract would have been terminated.”

"Rockstar's broken work ethics: Former employees detail mandatory long hours, unpaid overtime, and a culture of fear at studios behind Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption" - https://www.gamesindustry.biz/rockstars-broken-work-ethics

"poor working conditions" includes promising to support remote work and then reneging on that promise and forcing workers back into the office after they've moved away, an allegation _which is in the article that we are currently discussing_: "The IWGB also alleges Rockstar had insisted flexible work options would remain available in an employee-wide email that said: “This isn’t our first step to five days a week. No one wants to go back to the old way of working.” The IWGB went on to claim Rockstar management has so-far refused to engage with workers on the issue, and will “pull the plug” on remote access to technology on April 15."

i'm not going to quote the entire articles here. enjoy!
Only one of them does DC charging though. The dual thing is more meant for flexibility at home.
Using yourself as the sole point of reference in a conversation like this is ridiculous. You don't like it? That's fine. But, that's you. You are not a representative of what other people value. The fact that people can sustain a business selling old modified iPods mean that there are quite a few people who agree with me and who disagree with you.
Nimbus EV (https://nimbusev.com/) is working on a 2 person electric vehicle that's narrow enough to lane-split.

Large vehicles serve a few purposes including: signaling status/wealth/power and having the size and mass to favor the occupants in collisions with smaller vehicles.
The paper waits until page 2 to mention that their scheme would not help standard WebAssembly implementations at all: those implementations already eliminate all bounds checks using a virtual memory trick, so reducing the number of required bounds checks makes no difference.

However, it would help implementations that can't use the virtual memory trick, such as if they need to support a 64-bit WebAssembly address space, or run on a 32-bit host, or have a huge number of WebAssembly VMs in the same host process.

And if I understand their (extremely hard to read) graph correctly, the scheme reduces the bounds checking overhead in that case quite close to zero, which is pretty impressive.

On the other hand, any approach based on software bounds checking is ripe for speculative-execution attacks. Maybe that doesn't matter because in the browser it's a lost cause already?
> Why can't I as a regular retail investor trade a stock on Saturday?

Because stock exchanges don't run themselves. There's all kinds of services with humans in the loop, and without these, you'd have a market with much less guardrails than the current public stock exchanges.

You can make a case for such a market being good or bad for society, but it currently simply wouldn't be legal in most countries.

> Why can't I move money from one bank account to another on Sunday?

You can in many countries! In the EU, SEPA Instant is going to be mandatory soon. In the US, I can already do this between two of my bank accounts; most banks unfortunately don't participate yet.

The larger problem seems to be that the US simply does not have customer-initiated account transfers (to third parties) in the first place. In a way, the reason why you can't do bank transfers on the weekends is that you can't even do them on weekdays either.
Finance? No, most of it was rewritten in the 2000s to Java or DotNet. Sure, a bunch of HNers will reply here that they work on high frequency market making systems that use C++, but they are an extreme minority in the industry at this point.
You can 100% have multiple mutable references to the same variable in the same scope, without the first one getting dropped. For example:

fn main() {
let mut s = String::from("s");
let mut1: &mut _ = &mut s;
let mut2: &mut _ = &mut *mut1;
*mut2 = String::from("t");
println!("using mut2: {mut2}");
println!("using mut1: {mut1}");
}

Some people use a mental model of reference lifetimes that allows "discontinuous lifetimes" where the valid region has holes. I don't think that's how the compiler models reborrowing, and even under that model, `mut1` is created before `mut2` and gets dropped after `mut2`.
Side note, Jimmy John's day old bread fed me through college.

I’ve been working on a Sketchpad recreation recently, reading through his thesis.

One thing I loved is that the display scanned so slowly that if you did it linearly, or even interlaced, there was a visible strobing pattern across the screen and it gave people a headache. So he randomized the order in which lit pixels were drawn to give it a more distributed, “twinkle” like appearance.

Alternating or stochastically varying pronouns in your examples used to be a common way to make an effort at inclusive writing, usually preferred aesthetically to constructs like `his/her'. (The style before that was basically to use masculine pronouns for hypothetical people in every single case and deny that there was anything to question about that.) I think I agree that the modern semi-standard of using `they' for examples where gender is irrelevant or unknown is strictly better, but it's hard for me to summon a lot of contempt for someone who goes with a different/older habit.

Sometimes I wonder if we’re tracking the wrong thing and we’ve lost sight of why we even started tracking these type of stats to begin with.
