1/ "look backwards" - for hiking, literally do so, so it'll look familiar going the other way. For software, remember when and where you've made arbitrary decisions, so you can revisit them and try a different branch when current development isn't working.

3/ "never leave your drainage" - a river-system drainage. for hiking, go downstream when lost: this will narrow the area you might be in, and tends to take you towards civilisation rather than away from it. for software, more metaphorical: debug by figuring out what's working as expected and ruling it out, thereby narrowing the area the bug might be in; the equivalent of leaving a drainage —hiking across a pass into new drainage— would be "fixing" an issue based on what you think the problem is, rather than what you know the problem is, only to wind up with a system that still doesn't work, and now not having any idea if odd behaviour comes from the original problem or from the "fix".
Life is full of cringe and certainly I have had more than my fair share of it, who am I to judge anyone. Maybe I am even far more cringe than an average person, or maybe I notice my cringe much more, I hope it is the last, but I can never tell.

This is the conclusion I came to when faced with the same quandary.
It's the friendlier syntax. With the same conditional in javascript and python,the python version reads a little more like english. The same can can be said for loops. However, JS is right there in your browser so I would argue its much more accessible. Also the usecases for javascript are more aligned with junior coders (browser games, toy projects with a visual element etc), though to dig in to these you have to learn about the web dom which is quite overwhelming.
> People are simply always getting rid of good stuff

I suppose there’s an interesting survivorship thing going on here. A poorly-built couch probably won’t even last 10 years. And if it does, somehow, you’ll know as soon as you sit on it if it’s about to turn into dust based on the squeaking and general instability. If it still feels solid and you don’t sink into it so deep that you can’t stand up again there’s a decent chance it’ll last another 10 years.
> Waaaay too late, dude.

Lol, I get it. I meant even more uncompetitive.
I’m mid 30s, and I don’t recall anytime other than the last 7 years in which I saw people wearing stuff that came anywhere close to “Fuck <president>”. Or chanting it at random non political sporting events with families with children in attendance.

And I don’t see the other party doing anything equivalent, from giant flags on pickup trucks, to roadside merchandise stalls, to pick up truck convoys that harass and bully other candidates on the road…
Yup. A few years ago I bought a $1500 sofa from I think BluDot? It was trash. It rocked back and forth on a flat, level floor because the legs weren't all the same length. One of the legs was already cracked when it was delivered (independent from the different lengths problem). And the cushions were absurdly hard, but also too soft. I didn't take the cushions apart to see what was going in there but it felt like you were sitting on a wooden board with a way-too-soft spring underneath. They offered a 10-day return policy, and what do you know, when I requested a return on day 2 and then again on day 5 and then again days 6,7,8,9,10,11 ... they just didn't respond, until eventually like a month later I managed to get someone on the phone and they told me the 10day window had already elapsed so no backsies. When I left a bunch of 1star angry reviews calling them a fraud on every website I could think of, someone hired some mover-on-demand service and an old minivan showed up at my house to take it away. The mover didn't know where they were supposed to take it to. I gave them the store address where I bought it. What an absolute trash company.

Years later I spent $3500 on a sofa from Design Within Reach and it's terrific.
This isn’t mushrooms; this stuff can be quite high in protein. Some discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoprotein#Sensory,_Nutrition...
Is there a wiki with nutritional content, similar to the mushroom wiki that I posted?

The sidebar there has daily percentages, and the only entries above 20% are B vitamins.

Do you have a similar RDA analysis for this fungus?

This appears to be the wiki for the subject of the article:

Ideally a regulator would intervene, demanding that the data provider prove that each person in their database has explicitly opted in. That should be really easy for these companies -- it's just another record to include in our files. If they can't prove it, they must delete all related data.
Interesting! In my spare time for the last couple of months I’ve been working on a web-based VJ tool/toy. Nearing v1.0.0, which I hope to release in a week or so.

I was considering submitting a Show HN post too when it hits that point, but didn’t know if there was much interest on here. Turns out there is!

For anyone who is interested, the app I’ve been working on can be found here -> https://hydra.virusav.com

It’s FLOSS and the repo is here -> https://github.com/n3uromanc3r/hydra

Weirdly earlier today (prior to seeing this post) I considered starting a sister project to hydra that allows you to build a mixer and visual pipeline using a node-based system instead of the more rigid standard mixer setup.

> an enormous amount of nutrition

Seems like a product that tasted mostly like a burger or was at least "meaty" and "tasty" would also be valuable. Generally I feel like I'm getting more than enough nutrition (i.e. calories and stuff)
Yeah we wouldn't, because we have empathy and understand other people. If you can't conceive that people can even like each other at all then all their behavior just looks like some complex status game to you. There's nothing irrational then, with your limited understanding, about coercing a behaviour that you want, any more than it would be irrational to force an exchange in chess because the Knight didn't "want to" move.
Coming back from a funeral of a young collegue that suddenly felt bad and passed yesterday while playing soccer, I'm more in the camp of "less planning" right now...

Tesla had a lot of net operating losses from their early history that they are using up with their recent profits. They should start paying corporate income taxes for 2024 or 2025 as long as they remain profitable.

Note that what gets reported for SEC purposes is different from what gets reported to the tax man. You can see a little bit of the tax adjustment detail on page 84 of their 2023 10-K.

However...they report an unusually large change to their valuation allowance that swings them to a loss position for tax purposes. This usually results from their expectation of being able to make use of tax attributes (like NOLs or tax credits) that they previously didn't think they could make use of. This is...unusual...for a company that is claiming that they are sailing into headwinds as their forecasts are worse this year than last and any change to those valuation allowances should have happened last year when times were better.
I'm not sure what you have to fear with the TV analogy. The biggest issue with parental controls in TVs was that no one knows they're there to turn on. The design was always that TV channels broadcast the ratings information, and if you configured it and set a password, then the TV would block any content outside of the rating you configured it to allow. That's exactly how the RTA header would function.

It's all client-side decision making based on server provided metadata. There's nothing to track. Every TV in the US has been required to work this way for over 20 years.
Indeed several other locations such as Uganda were considered and were leading candidates beforehand. It originated as a colonial project, not a "land-back" initiative.

> Herzl approached Britain because, he said, it was "the first to recognize the need for colonial expansion." According to him, "the idea of Zionism, which is a colonial idea, should be easily and quickly understood in England.38 In 1902 Herzl approached Cecil Rhodes, who had recently colonized the territory of the Shona people as Rho- desia. "You are being invited to help make history," he said in a letter to Rhodes. "It doesn't involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews. How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.

And even in the theoretical case that he somehow lost those keys (just to explore the argument), it doesn't matter.

The whole system is based on the premis that the math and the keys are the ultimate definition of truth right?

Lost your keys? Oh well. So what? You get the same take-backs as if you had a pile of paper money and burned it.

If he were the one who created the system in the first place, he would know better and be the last person on the planet to even try to say anything like "It's me but I just can't prove it."

It's just nonsensical before even looking at any supposed evidense. Sign something or why are you even bothering to waste even 5 minutes of anyone's time? (and why is anyone else even giving him so much as 5 minutes?)
What does that two-hour video have to do with the comment you replied to?
It is rather dark —an almost impenetrable night— in this crocodile, but at least it has USB-C charging and the 5G reception is excellent, so —thus far anyway— it hasn't affected my HN habit.

(I must admit I ♥ the MC Doni lyric: "إن شاء الله или c'est la vie". Anyone know of a lyrical line that beats it, either with four languages, or scripts written in three different directions [r-to-l, l-to-r, u-to-d?], etc?)
I’ve got one of their backpacks. It’s very nice. Heavy, though, at around five pounds. Sadly it almost never gets any use, because I rarely have need for a backpack. I should have bought some luggage instead.

Like the other poster, I also have a couple of their wallets. They’re simple but obviously high quality. They don’t feel as slick as the Coach wallet I was given as a gift, but I have no doubt they will hold up longer.
Lofty diagrams aside, in practical use it's going to be a minimal hardware abstraction that serves to communicate data between models and allocate compute time based on their importance. Maybe that resource scheduler will be AI but at the end of the day, it's code running on a kernel running on CPUs.
I've been an early access user for a few months and I'm really enjoying Beeper -- I hope they continue to deliver like this and can scale the operations as needed.

I currently use through it: Telegram, WhatsApp, RCS (Android Messages), Signal.

Beeper is built on Matrix and their client is based on Element but I would say the experience is slightly better than native; for example I prefer how client verification works in Beeper over vanilla Element.

Congrats on the open beta!
I have seen people on the left preach about banning guns until they got into an argument with their neighbor and ran over to my house to borrow a shotgun. I still don't know why I let them have it. I never got it back.
ICE engine braking in a normal car requires the driver to engage lower gears to slow down. EV's do this automatically, which is why you get regenerative braking in that regard. It's quite different.

Many EV's whilst engine braking is applied, also apply the brake lights.

Quote from Tesla's website for Low and Standard regenerative braking "Standard: Provides the maximum amount of regenerative braking. When you release the accelerator, Model Y slows down, reducing the need to use the brakes."

The effect of regenerative braking in an EV is much greater than that of an ICE under engine braking.
Or the start of the last of us...
> I Often hear people saying that IKEA furnitures don’t travel well or don’t last long. It’s like we’re not going to the same IKEA.

I mean, if you are comparing with heirloom class furniture then that’s certainly true. After taking the cabinet or bed apart and sticking it together 4 or 5 times, you certainly start to notice some degradation. But then we’re talking about a factor 100 price difference.
They override market forces explicitly with zoning rules that forbid building more housing. The ability to produce more supply in response to demand is the market at work. That’s why everyone who complains that rent control distorts the market can be ignored unless they are also complaining about zoning, building codes and permit processes.
In-person seems like it should be a hard requirement for anything a person will sit on. There is no way to tell anything just by looking at a picture.

The sofa I got had one in-store that was cut in half at all levels, so the construction and materials could all be seen. Any company doing that is probably going to be pretty solid, and if not, it should be obvious.
Meanwhile, my parents, in a not really rural area (less than 5 minutes to a town), are capable of reaching ... 0.2 MBps. And that is just in theory, actual speeds may vary.
The offending hydrazine:

> Although recognized as an experimental carcinogen when used in high laboratory doses, there is inadequate evidence to classify Agaritine as carcinogenic to humans in amounts ingested from consuming mushrooms

I mean, if you wanted to be ultra-cautious you might avoid it, but it’s IARC Group 3. Unless you have a _very_ carefully controlled diet, it’s should probably not be high on your list of concerns, carcinogen-wise.
consider this, if Apple makes you sign a form that when buying this iPhone, you have no right to repair it on your own or take it to a non authorized repair shop. You must go to Apple to get those repairs. How many consumers do you think would sign this? I reckon a good large majority, at least the number of people buying Apple care now would buy this. This is what kills right to repair, Apple and similar companies obviously lobby against it, but that’s not what kills Right to repair, the fact is regardless of the number of laws passed to support right to repair, until a majority of consumers are willing to repair stuff on their own or with third party repair-ers, right to repair will only matter to the small minority of people who care about it.
Sofas and rugs are inherently labor-intensive things to make well, where quality materials make a huge difference. I grew up with real wool-silk rugs my parents brought over from old country, or my dad bought on work trips to Afghanistan or Pakistan. I never gave them a second thought until I bought my own house and tried to furnish it. What I had thought were just regular rugs would cost $5,000+ in America.
Quorn exists in the states as well. I eat it routinely, it's not bad.
Sure, there are applications where it is a real benefit. Typically (like your examples) where we can manipulate the environment to work around the limitations of the technology. This is a good thing! When the tech gets cheap, it’s easier to apply more broadly.

However it doesn’t really speak to your contention. This is an example of doing less than state of the art perception for much cheaper, but to meet your goal (5 years or otherwise) we need to significantly improve the state of the art.
Quorn’s also widely available in the US
Changing the definition of something for statistical purposes is over-regulation?
I've had a two-seat sofa from Living Spaces since.... 2017 and it's held up really well. Even the cushions have no wear despite my dog loving "digging" into them (basically scratching for a while digging an imaginary hole). I think this sofa was like $800 plus tax/delivery but I sit on it every day and it's held up really well, especially through one move.

I think there's probably just quality:price tiers and mine happens to be in the economical but decent quality range.
Having a line in the ground won't save you when there are wild backhoes in your biome.
I was about to ask if it would be ok to do the same for my web-based VJ app Hydra, but it looks like you found it already! Thank you, it’s most appreciated!
Good question. I think an array of these as cells in a series would bring it up to levels that could power an eInk display, etc that practically never needs additional batteries for its lifetime. Super cool.
The overall need for childcare would decrease by about 10-20%, so I don't believe this will be a problem.

Companies may stagger their 'day off' over the workweek, so people are just as likely to have tuesday, wednesday, or thursday off, though probably fridays and mondays would be more popular

Yes, some employees will be working 5-days a week and need childcare for those 5 days still, but I don't see why a company providing it can't stagger their employees' off days also to be able to meet their needs.

Also, a lot of those overtime-exempt employees realistically will have a partner who now has 1 more day off per week, so they may only need 4 days of childcare after all.

I really doubt this change, were it to go into effect, would have a positive effect on the wages of childcare workers, though they may now have more time off, so hopefully good for them overall.

While I do not like the 'get out of breach free card' that companies like Equifax seem to get, your tone has that exact sort of arrogance that smacks of immaturity.

You just can't always apply today's sensibilities to code that has lasted longer than your life so far.

I agree that companies need to be held responsible for their decisions not to update security, but that's a different (related) issue than 'legacy'.

I am more concerned with legislation and law enforcement. That's the real way to fix things. Rust rewrites wont change business incentives.
Whats wrong with soy?
I tried Flox on macOS last night and noticed that it installed Nix in the default profile alongside the one Nix-Darwin manages in /run/current-system/sw/bin, and symlinked its copy into /usr/local/bin. I also noticed that there were no instructions for existing Nix users qua Nix users— nothing for NixOS users or users of other distros who might already have Nix installed but who lack a Flox-supported distro package format.

Is this because as a third-party profile manager for Nix, Flox depends on the unstable format of Nix profile manifests and whatever else, or is Flox actually usable (if not tested) alongside a wide range of Nix versions? Is Nix-based installation of Flox a feature you intend to eventually support?

Also, it's been mentioned that Fish support is coming. Can anyone point me to a bit of Flox source or config on where the shell integration for the `activate` subcommand actually lives? I'd like to rig something up with fenv or the like while awaiting official Fish support, but didn't see an obvious place to plug in when I glanced at my Flox install and the Flox source last night.

Congrats on the new server rack when you decide to take it out of service as an end-table: https://wiki.eth0.nl/index.php/LackRack

Also… I haven’t priced out Lack tables in a while but it looks like they’re still only $20?! I last bought one in probably 2006 and they were $20CAD at the time.
I did this about 18 months ago, and surprisingly, Spectrum came out and actually put a new line up my road. I'd asked them off and on for years to get broadband. Last time I'd been quoted 12k to cross the little creek they stopped at and service the dozen or so houses on my side. But for whatever reason, this time they did it for free (well, normal hookup costs) after I challenged them on the FCC site.
But I am not saying that HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 are magic that fix packet loss in mobile networks.

I'm saying that from the point of view of either endpoint, there is very little packet loss in mobile networks, because of error correction and retransmissions being handled at the physical layer. This is the third time I've written it. Both previous times you've not answered that, and instead made up a strawman about HTTP/2 and magic. Why do you keep doing that?

Do you not believe that cellular radio protocols do error correction? Or that they do retransmissions at that level, rather than just try transmitting each packet once and then give up?
Yes, given that that's also the phone line for many people and therefore is an emergency service...
What are the harsh side effects you speak of?
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Discussions like this are why I love HN <3

I think I’ll be chewing on your final paragraph for some time. Thank you!!!
IANAL but my understanding is that many employers either understand themselves to be required to, or for some other reason the corporation requires it and the department which is hiring does the same thing described, albeit in this case to satisfy internal rules rather than external laws. But clearly this all varies by nation, state, city, industry, etc.
Well, he could instead send you to a specialized doctor, me thinks... But what do I know, anyway.
