No street lights doesn't imply pitch black. It may imply poorly illuminated. I can't find a date, only a time, so I can't guess at lunar illumination or cloud cover.

But we don't know how many other vehicles were on the road and what light they were casting. The bystander who reported witnessing the crash was within visual distance, so couldn't have been too far ahead of the MachE. It wasn't reported if there were any other vehicles. If you have enough vehicles on the road (with their lights on) lack of overhead illumination isn't too significant.
I think that isn't the point. If determinism is true, then you can make an excuse just as much as a AI programmed to make a excuse can do so, whether or not such an excuse is valid. Having no choice about punishing or not punishing criminals does not mean that it is not possible to make an excuse, even if such an excuse is inevitable because you have no choice about how to make such an excuse.
Because the health care system is dramatically overwhelmed. There are not enough doctors for the demand.
I have no skin in this because I don't live in the USA and don't want to, but no, everything in the comment you replied to falsifies "So a strawman".

You can be wrong without being a strawman. When every example you have of X is Y, it's not a "strawman" to say "all X are Y" — when you're wrong like that, it's a black swan.
It's also quite expensive partially because of garbage regulations on lot sizes and what can be built. NIMBYism is alive and well.
This is beautiful. Thank you.

I think people don’t understand how important just being there for your family actually is. Sometimes it’s enough just to be reliable, stand for good and just be present. Sounds like he really knew it.
Can't medical doctors have duty time limits like aircrews. Wouldn't that alleviate some of the overwork.

Sure, but who keeps their makeup in the kitchen?

Seriously, though, yeah... This build was for the author themselves, so as long as they like it, it was successful. But it's also a great example of the sort of elegant problem solving engineers (like my dad... Almost exactly) would implement unilaterally without consulting the people that use the kitchen far more than he does. This is why designers exist.
The GP's statement doesn't at all suggest that they're looking at this property as an investment vehicle; The house could be ROI-neutral and its owner would still not like to see it burn down from uninspected, unsafe electrical work.

If you have some PostgreSQL performance issues, I'd recommend checking out PGAnalyze - they've offered a much more advanced index advisor for some time now.

My company is a paid customer since around 2020 and we are very satisfied, easily beats the Datadog's (which we use for the rest of our infra and apps) observability offering for PostgreSQL.
As a counterpoint I’m constantly focused on other things than what’s in front of me. I’m often absorbed in my phone or thinking over some problem in my head. But I can almost always instantaneously orient myself as long as I started out oriented or have even a vague sense of the geography of an area.

I just “know” which way to leave an elevator or train station as long as the layout and exits are sensible (NYC is sometimes hard, Paris is often impossible). Even if I’m mentally focused on other things.

Since one of the stated purposes is to "rotate" (FIFO) the stock of cans, if you use the 18-inch tall plexiglass front, what's the risk of damaging the cans when dropping them down?

If there's even approx. 1/8 inch left-to-right wiggle room, it seems a can lid edge can strike the side of another can near its lid edge. Can this unseal? If so, how visible would it be?
Can you recommend any practical resources on the topic? Not fluffy business-orientated self help books like all the product management books that are recommended.
Mad respect for live demoing in a talk on conference Wi-Fi. There is something to authenticity and embracing potential failure that flies in the face of the well manicured presentation culture we have today that needs to come back. As long as the talk can be done, or there is a plan b, why not? I think a lot of concern stems from wasting other people’s time: which is valid. But presenting is also a deeply culturally engrained performance art that sometimes sacrifices authenticity for appearances.

My perspective. Checksumming is more useful on large binary data, whereas tools to check metadata/container corruption already exist[1].

This allows you to change metadata or the container entirely, while still being able to check if e.g. the H.264 video stream is okay.

I also tried it out during this month's trial, and while it is convenient in certain scenarios, I wouldn't consider it production-ready.

If you treat it as pre-release and truly understand the risks, then it functions adequately. As a side note, I am pleased with the progress being made in this space, when I worked in that specific industry years back, it was nowhere near the functionality you have now.
Hey, I'm Boris, the founder of Entelechia Inc. in which the app is housed. When I just published the app on Apple, it came up first when searching for string "Crosspass," but after a couple of months that stopped working and the only way to find it is to search for "Crosspass by Entelechia". The good news is that typing Crosspass in Google search gives the website as the first result.

Now, about your other questions. I wanted to limit the app only to a phone, because a phone is almost always online, either via Cellular or Wifi. Also, the UX is designed for a mobile screen not for the larger iPad screen. For these reasons mid-way I had to cut iPad support. (I need to remove iPod and vision, thanks for the heads up.)

About free cost and a one-time payment for senders: I didn't like the subscription model because I just wanted people to pay once for the app and never pay again. However, I didn't want to have two apps, one for senders that costs a dollar, and another for recipients that's free. Having two apps named almost the same would confuse the recipients. Therefore, it just had to be one app and I decided to use the in-app purchase method.
I re-worded what I wrote for clarity, it's an obscure sort of sentence construction.

"I don't agree with Jim Keller in that absolute highest performance is found in Infiniband, not only with bandwidth but latency. "

I don't agree with Jim Keller who says that Ethernet would be as good or better, in that when you use Infiniband, you get the absolute highest performance from IB, since IB does best on bandwidth and latency considerations.
Do you still experience the same amount of stress?

If so, speak to your investors.

I wouldn’t frame it as you’re close to an heart attack. Say the workload you have hurts the company and that you need to hire someone who can deal with all those admin / operational things to run the company, so you can focus more on the product and accelerate growth.

Alternatively if you can cash out then consider that, if you think your health will deteriorate further and cause early death or make you partially paralysed (stroke).

Selling your house and car and moving your family to a more dangerous part of town is quite the gamble.

Take care of yourself and hope the gamble pays off.

Thats one way to think about it. Another is that Houdini lets the browser be more simple - because CSS (as it exists today) can be moved into a reusable library that can be shared between browsers. In theory, if all the browsers supported houdini, they wouldn't need to maintain their own CSS implementations.
Looks very similar to the arrangement inside a vending machine.

That said, I'll add that my Manual (https://flow-ipc.github.io/doc/flow-ipc/versions/main/genera...) gets into the topic of safety (with a few words on how this differs from security; this indeed involves trust). So indeed Flow-IPC does not attempt to provide security for malicious/untrusted conversation-partner -- but it does provide a few enabled-by-default safety mechanisms. The Manual page in question: https://flow-ipc.github.io/doc/flow-ipc/versions/main/genera...

Among other things, the capnp-layer (which, as I noted in a recent reply earlier, is optional to use -- you can and sometimes certainly should "just" go native, and/or combine the two approaches) uses an internally-generated token to ensure some kind of terrible bug/thing/problem/act-of-god isn't mis-routing messages. It's a safety mechanism.

But in terms of, say, incompatible schemas or mis-matching native `struct`s -- what if you used different compilers with slightly different STLs on the 2 sides?! -- it is indeed on the developer to not make that error/not converse with untrusted code. Flow-IPC will guard against misuses to the extent it's reasonable though, IMO.

P.S. [Internal impl note] Oh! And, although at the moment it is the protocol version v1 (for all internally-involved protocols at all layers), I did build-in a protocol-version-checking system from the start, so as to avoid shooting ourselves in the foot, in case Flow-IPC needs to expand some of its internal protocol(s) in later versions. At the very worst, Flow-IPC would refuse to establish a channel/session upon encountering a partner with Flow-IPC version such that their protocols are incompatible. (Again -- academic at the moment, since there is only v1 -- but might be different in the future. At that point a new protocol might be developed to be backward-compatible with earlier-Flow-IPCs and just still work; or worst case throw the aforementioned error if not.)
Because indexes have costs you need a much more complicated system which can feed back into itself and downgrade probationary indexes back to unindexed.

I think the interesting litmus test for having a good sense of direction - or at least one form of it - is being able to successfully navigate by car while driving, to a destination they originally saw 20 years ago, as a 10-year old car passenger. And that's for a city they hadn't driven in before.

Silicon valley was largely built by immigrants too. I believe in this concept, people who have enough determination to move are already above some potential energy threshold. And this threshold despite being relatively low still cuts off a huge part of local population who didn't have to pass it. I've seen it at work both for internal and international moves.
I think the doctor that commited suicide suffered from an acute depressive episode, so the outcome could be prevented by catching it early, taking a break etc

As a doctor myself, I believe it's difficult for a non-doctor to understand our problems. Saving lives (in quantity and quality) is both very rewarding and demanding but those two feelings cancel each other out, hopefully leaving a small positive residual. The effort is usually disconnected with it's financial reward (eg an easy, a-few-minutes case can be paid the same as another that devastated you) and that is inevitable.
The medical administration, both public and private, is totally inefficient, if not provocative (eg providing 10 minutes for a whole patient visit so that the pay seems attractive).

In the end, I believe the doctor himself should take advantage of the degrees medical profession freedom, make some choices and/or navigate himself in the medical system in order to balance work, salary and life, starting from the specialty (eg surgeon vs internist etc) and continuing during his whole career.

Most health insurance system do seem to think there is a difference. Just like teeth seem to be luxury bones and eyesight is kinda optional.

Why aren’t all these things first class in most health systems? Coverage is usually pretty decent for physicians, but if you have a problem with your mind (or teeth, or eyes) then good luck here is a fraction of what the therapy costs and don’t bother us with it again.
okay. will look into it if it's possible
The math really isn't that different from "should I install solar on my house". Although I live (and own rental properties) in an area with lots of sunshine, we also have relatively inexpensive electricity, about 15% cheaper than the US national average. Every time I look into solar, the answer is the same: it will take longer for it to pay off for me than the lifetime of the components. The only places around here where solar pays off is where the grid isn't already available, in which case the cost of solar installation often dwarfs the cost of extending the grid.

Even once solar makes sense for the house I live in, its a tougher sell in a rental: If I were to do install solar on a rental, there's the added complexity of "how do I charge the tenant for electricity?". I could not charge them, but have higher rent. But it takes a pretty sophisticated tenant to properly account for the value there, so that would make the units appear less price competitive than they actually are. I could install a meter and charge them the same way as a power company does. But does that make me a power company? Are there a bunch of new rules I would have to follow? What do I do if someone doesn't pay the bill? I'm sure I could figure it all out, but it makes the investment less attractive, which means the price of solar relative to buying from the grid has to be even better before I would go down that route.

The lookup ID is 4 letters, case-insensitive. The PIN is 4 digits. I did it this way for reasons of symmetry and to make it easy to tell it by voice. A github hash is much harder, since it's alphanumeric, case sensitive.

Also, the lookup ID doesn't have any digits in order to make it distinguished from the PIN. The whole effort is to make this as user friendly as possible.

Within a day, you'll start seeing the same words used across "journalism" organizations, about how "Iran is a destabilizing force for the Middle East", "sudden, unprovoked attack". Some articles about how wonderful life is for LGBT people in Israel.

If we're lucky, maybe this time around no one will say that Iranians behead babies or stab them in their hospital beds in the maternity wards. It was laid on a bit too thick last time, I felt.
so the tradeoff, for having to have both parents working for a very average family, is that they can surf the Internet and get Doordash? you come on.

I understand that this fixed the author's issue, so if it works for them it works for them.

But, it also assumes only 5 common can types and a lot of wall space. The latter is the real killer for a small house as wall space is at a huge premium, being the only place you can put cupboards (even when the room sizes are large enough to support islands, walls are still the only real place for tall things).

If I had a square metre of wall to devote and did this, I'd subdivide this horizontally and have, say, 15 short columns in 3 rows rather than 5 long ones. If I really have so many of a specific type of can in stock that they don't fit, they can have two columns.
Re: performance issue

I used to think that performance issue in relational database was always a matter of
:

* missing indexes
* non-used indexes due to query order (where A, B instead of B, A)

But we had the case recently where we optimized a query in postgresql which was taking 100% of cpu during 1s (enough to trigger our alerting) by simply splitting a OR in two separate query.

So if you are looking for optimisation it may be good to know about "OR is bad".
The two queries run in some ms both.

Fair point, I guess I was more trying to imagine what the day looks like for someone who has a managerial role. I imagine people coding or doing spreadsheets or designing may often prefer remote because of the increased focus (unless they have domestic distractions), whereas a manager's job seems to be a lot of conversations with people and getting a feel for the group and individual performance and dynamics.

Stan Honey, who invented car navigation systems (Etak, pre-GPS), once told me that they started out with always displaying maps with north at the top. He's a sailor, and sailors have used maps with north at the top for centuries. So the car nav system just followed marine navigation.

They discovered in user testing that about 20% of the population cannot rotate a map in their head. So they rotated the map in software. Keeping the labels in normal orientation was tough. Now everybody does that.

There's a reason Russia is the biggest country on Earth[1]: its aggression. Those "republics" didn't just fall into Russian hands of their own accord, they were conquered, usually in the most brutal ways imaginable.

Sandwiched between NATO and Russia, Ukraine is the only country that dared to fight back - and it's currently the only country that is able to defeat Russia without triggering a world war.

With Russia shifting to a war economy[2] essentially unopposed, the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Self defense is not "escalation". Allowing the bully to continue to terrorize its neighbors is escalation.

Our politicians simply do not learn from history. We need better qualified leaders.

I think the ship is starting to around as far as the quantity in the environment. I’ve read that chemists figured out a way to use to lye and a compound called dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO is FDA approved as a medicine, and apparently cheap to produce) to breakdown PFAS in a self sustaining reaction — that combined with new EPA concentration limits in drinking water, it could mean a significant reduction of the PFAS in circulation.

That is if water treatment plants actually go through the process of breaking down the PFAS they filter out of water instead of just dumping it somewhere and patting themselves on the back.

Show HN: AI Kids Book Generator
Fun little weekend project over the past month or so. Our kids ask for a story every night, and I wanted to see how far I could get AI to generating it with corresponding images.

The text comes from gpt-4-turbo. Images are courtesy of dall-e-3.

The biggest challenge so far has been getting the images to feel cohesive across the story: since they're auto-generated as the image goes, it needs to describe each of the characters very specifically so that they don't look like completely different people on each frame. At some point, I might use a different approach.
Personal suspicion is a big part of it is just the people with power generally being fairly old, and not particularly caring about young adults generally.
