The idea of app "repositories" sprang up with Open Source and perhaps it makes some sense when software is "free" as in beer.

But as capitalism is often want to do, this was quickly repurposed as a choke point for extracting profit and stifling competition.
It’s repetitive, really boring (once you get over the initial infatuation, and the sameness sets in, and you’re not getting to pick what to work on because it’s a paid job, not a hobby), and half or more of the time your work is just thrown out without doing any good. But it’s so hard to leave because money’s so much worse doing almost anything else that doesn’t require going back to school for a bunch of years.

Truly Sisyphean. “Hurry, roll that boulder! It’s important!” And then the boulder rolls back down the hill and everyone shrugs and starts back over. “Go, go! Important!”

And everything you have to use is probably broken and/or terrible. Even, and perhaps especially, software from major vendors staffed with “geniuses”. So very much time wasted to our tools and libraries being shit. It’s frustrating, and it’s day, after day, without end.

It grinds you down. At this point if pay were equal for all careers, programming would be pretty far down my list of preferred occupations.

It’s easy to start dreaming of throwing the fucking laptop in the trash and starting a Christmas tree farm or becoming a carpenter or some shit.
That's actually something I find a bit awkward, too. Especially, there was no way to re-use the global Hono error handler for all OpenAPI routes. I created an issue[1] with my suggested workaround and was told that that's the way to go. Maybe things are that way because `zod-openapi` was introduced later on. But I believe in the end it doesn't really matter that much as the code is clean and readable. :)

the average woman simply does not respect men who make less money than them. you can come back with all sorts of anecdotes and every women claiming that isnt the case, but the data on this is very clear.

its my opinion that you simply cannot trust people's words when it comes to hypothetical partners. Peoples stated preferences and actual actions are completely divergent.
> You don’t expect them to provide Youtube for free do you?

I don't expect for monopolists (of search, of ad, and also of video markets) to be given free rein to impose whatever terms they want. They provide me nothing for free, they are selling me
Yeah, you lost me at "nvidia" lol.
That fantasy is really fun for about 2 weeks a year. After that you realize how bad it is. I used volunteer to run the food stand at a local annual event for a charity to get my going into the restaurant fix out of my system (I quit only because I moved for other reasons)
Games of chance have an expected value [0], in this case the expected amount you can win with your ticket. Normally, this is very low, lower than the price of the ticket, for sure. However, when the payout is high enough, the EV goes up. If the EV surpasses the price of a lottery ticket, that's the point where you think about "investing".

Of course, calculating EV is very hard, so people just draw a line in the sand - "if the payout is $50MM or over, I will buy a ticket, otherwise, I won't".

The go CLI does exactly the same. Python's pip (via setup.py) will do the same, and in an arguably less transparent way iirc. I don't disagree that there are better ways, but it's good enough to get you off the ground.
You must not have seen a sports fan base with a consistent losing record. Talk about sunk cost, imagine being a browns or a bears fan.
Every line of code in the first implementation is there for a reason -- it has an implicit history, and implements a requirement. If that requirement is not captured elsewhere, then the prerequisite for /re/writing a system is to read the first implementation, understand the implicit requirements in the code, capture those requirements (or explicitly eliminate them if incorrect), and /then/ start writing version two. So /re/writing a system is a strict superset of both reading a previous implementation and implementing, and is thus harder than either.
But the company has said that the call may be recorded.
Very nice. I wish I could do this sort of scroll story in my digital notes. Is this done with a javascript library?
I criticise Apple often and harshly, but putting off a premium car might be the rational and realistic part of this set of decisions.

Personally, I think Tesla are left holding the can at this juncture ... and the next 5 years are going to be extremely challenging for them.

Margins eaten away at the premium level - with no hope of clawing them back at the lower cost mass level.

I'm pretty happy with my path, all things considered - the biggest issues re: programming for me is:

- carpal tunnel; have already had the surgery 1x on left arm and 2x on right with some persistent issues that some PT is tackling

- eye strain; have been messing with blue light glasses alongside some monitor changes and using trying to use more saline (I forget to blink all day), not perfect but it's manageable for the time being

A good friend is a mail carrier and I'm actually super jealous of her job; I went from walking several miles a day as a server in undergrad to 5hrs standing/3hrs sitting while working with an AM/PM walk to bridge the gap but it's just not the same as being active all day. Have been considering making a move into something else...but it's unlikely to actually happen tbh
Sure! And it's a matter for debate, but I would draw the line somewhere between what kinds of customs checks there are (e.g. we scan everything leaving a foreign vessel with an MRI and 10% at random with a mass spectrometer) and something covert and sensitive like an informant.
I jokingly asked my insurance company this on Twitter a few years back when there was a Chinese satellite crashing and my house was in the possible path. They actually replied and the answer is yes - I would be covered. I was surprised actually that they replied at all and that I was covered!
Freetube is getting 400 responses, too, and attempting to fallback on the Invidious API.

They're cracking down pretty hard.
I think you'd be surprised at the number of people who wear diapers to the casino so they don't have to take a break from the machines.
Why not? Is there a definition of “fee” that dictates this?

Presumably the _average_ fee is the cost to provide the service (including the profit they want to make on it). So the more expensive tickets subsidize the cheaper ones.
This annoys me:

> You can use parameterized queries to protect against SQL injection,

No, that't not what parameterized queries are for. That's just a side benefit.

Parameterized queries are so that the database doesn't have to parse the data from SQL to do the query. It's stupid to turn all the data to text, send the text over the wire, escaped and quoted as appropriate, then parse it back to whatever form it was in originally when you can just send it binary straight to the database.

And if you are doing many similar queries with different results, e.g. inserts as here, or maybe querying the user table by user id every page load, the database doesn't have to parse any SQL each time and can even reuse the query plan.

This may be why psycopg3 performed better than pandas df.to_sql() function in the single row insert case.
At the same time we can also admit that a number of factors could use a huge amount of improvement in the United States. We have long list of inexpensive low hanging fruit.

- Licensing and renewal requirements are extremely lax

- Many states have extremely lenient DUI punishments

- Road conditions and design are often extremely lacking (e.g., stroads with high speed and high conflict points make up an outsized proportion of fatalities, there could be more emphasis on traffic calming than traffic flow and high average speed).

- Lack of safer alternatives (e.g. public transit) despite generally having the population numbers and density to support robust public transit.

- Too many safety loopholes for popular passenger trucks where the differences in regulations were intended to accommodate commercial activity with professional drivers, but the market has shifted to regular consumers driving large heavy vehicles with poor pedestrian safety like full size pickup trucks.
"Major political parties" know that votes from idiots are as valuable as votes from people they are unable to fool: no-vax conspiracy theorists are one of many despicable constituencies that they want to be nice to, at the cost of alienating a smaller number of better people.

I'm not "afraid" of AI per se... the Borg have been my dream since childhood, lol. I look forward to it, just worried about the huge displacements it will have under our current hypercapitalistic system with a weak government and poor safety nets. It's gonna hurt, regardless of what I personally do for work :(
The M1 Max is also 2 generations old, and ~3 years old at this point. Seems like a fair comparison to me.
I'm just glad I started contributing to my retirement plan before that happened. I can't afford to retire yet - but it looks like I'm well on my way to retiring early. Which is the ultimate out: If I don't like what I'm doing I can find a new hobby, then when that one gets boring either another or go back to a previous. (note that sitting around and doing nothing isn't in my plan)
Does KMS/Mesa support the GPU yet? I know they've been working at it.
I think Youtube got caught offguard a bit by creators making in-video ads and sponsorships a few years ago. They don't get a cut of that, and it softens the blow of people who do use Adblock.
> And while not explicitly gambling, free trading apps such as Robinhood have gotten an increasing number of ordinary people into investing — for fun, to alleviate boredom, to try to make some extra cash. While many people have used the apps to build a stable portfolio, a good chunk of people are doing high-risk day trading or piling into meme stocks like GameStop, AMC, or, as Donald Trump's people are hoping, his newly public social-media company.

Even investing meme stocks is better then gambling, because it's a positive sum game.
Problem gambling in bookies in the UK is kind of class-aligned; AIUI other forms of gambling, particularly crypto/meme stocks, is less so, though.
Thank you for the insights! Yeah I'm still not sure how Postgres/PostGIS will scale for me, but good to know that BigQuery does this nicely.

This is not something I'm productionizing (at least not yet?) and I'm giving myself zero budget since it's a side project, but if/when I do I'll definitely look into BigQuery!
This looks like a good app! I won’t have a use personally for it, but still looks good. How did you do the transcripts?
I just emailed HN via the contact below. Not sure if that's the right method -- thanks the tips!
Ancedotally. Growing up, there was a huge push towards "fat-free" and "low fat" foods that is extremely ingrained in my parents generation.

I can only summarize it as an ingrained feeling of "Fat is what fat people have". It meant they avoided it like the plague while completely overdoing it on other bad stuff.
If you install binary blob from the internet, you trust exactly one person and no way to verify if binary matches the source.

If you build with cargo, you can at least verify that the current source matches the binary and the trust of the dependencies is decentralized, with many eyes on them.

There are better ways, but these better ways just use different package managers.
The above is no different than any ”build from source” method.
OpenJS Issues Alert for Social Engineering Takeovers of Open Source Projects
I just love the look of vector displays and I wish they were more common still today. Such a cool aesthetic!
Aqua regia? I think that would look a lot more suspicious
A quick search into it shows that this Ryzen AI NPU's support isn't integrated into upstream inference frameworks yet — so right now it's just useless silicon surface you pay for :-/
Not a bad tip! I will keep that in mind.
Yeah but that's a conscious decision, not one do to mental illnesses.

> It blows my mind. We know so well that gambling is a losing battle. Some can have fun and call it the price of fun, but it's such a slippery slope to find yourself losing way more than you intended.

That's why this is called gambling _addiction_. If you understand the existence of other behavioral addictions, it's not so different.

Put your foot on the brake, shift out of gear.

That's no excuse for such a stupid fault, but these headlines are seem like they're designed to make people panic, which is the worst possible thing you could do stuck in that situation.
I truly hope you succeed. However I program because I can't stand to do the same thing over and over again. I want to automate away the monotony. Running a bakery seems like it's everything I don't want to do. You have to make the same products the same way every day. It's good work and I know a lot of people for who that's their dream. It's interesting that you went into programming first and then go into something that I perceive to be the opposite. Best of luck.
look into "period hardware" which is itself a "dual joystick" (typically literally sold for use in descent). it's a gimmick that sold i.e. why have one joystick when you can have two. Then you should just have a single i/o interface to your MIDI game port.
Do you mind linking the specific dataset? I agree very wide columns break a lot of tools but other columnar postgres forks should support this no problem. It sounds like you didn't use Redshift, which I find surprising as it directly competes with BQ. Redshift has "super" columns that can be very large, even larger than the maximum supported by BigQuery.

I constantly see folks finding out the hard way that PostGIS is really hard to beat. The fact that Trini/Presto and Spark have languished here is particularly telling.
The story is about gambling, but the headline is applicable all over the place, not least here on HN, even.

Racial excuses replaced religious excuses.
In your moms day casinos were openly ran by organized crime. Today you can buy stock in draft kings and vegas is like disneyworld instead of a grimy ash tray. The world of gambling had changed and so has peoples opinions about it.
All I can think about was trying to muck with IRQ conflicts or messed up awful windows 95 drivers later on to get my game working. I'm not sure I miss either of those much but I also switched to Windows NT early and kept an old decked out Pentium 1 for dos games that ntvdm wouldn't play nice with.

Nodding though, oh man that got me into developing things like you wouldn't believe.

Quake 1, 2 had a huge community around coding or map making. Tribes 2 was absolutely all about mods. Command and Conquer with it's rules.ini or StarCraft with its gui scripting stored in map files I spent so many hours messing with. It was all about making something crazy to show off when you went back to school or later to a lan party to wow everyone.
> What is it about programming that makes so many people want to quit and do something else?

They don't just want to do something else but something very different, everything IT/computer work is missing. The common theme is "less tech" or "outdoors". People dream about what they're missing. Farming is not at all easier on the body but all of a sudden it becomes attractive by being different.

IT work usually brings you enough money and safety which let you think about any dreams and that you'd be successful with them too. But it's also just stressful enough that the dreams look like a good alternative. Your mind melds the financial success from your current job with the spiritual happiness of the dream.
It's amazing how certain programmers can't be arsed to do anyone else's job, but they sure are keen to extol the virtues of everyone trying to do their job (badly).

Q: Can you help me troubleshoot this issue?

Programmer: Not my job. Ask the Product Support department.

Q: Can you explain how this obscure feature works?

Programmer: Not my job. Ask the Documentation team.

Q: Can you make this interface less janky to navigate?

Programmer: Not my job. Ask the UX Team.

But remember, guys, the real key to a successful product is making sure that everyone in the company knows how to program...
I'm not prepared to provide citations, but my understanding is that the evidence indicates that attempting to inhibit inflammation also reduces that. For example, the use of NSAIDs to treat sports injuries is associated with an increased risk of things like chronic pain and lasting reductions in strength and mobility. This part of why the A in PEACE & LOVE stands for "avoid anti-inflammatories".
Thank you for reading through it thoroughly and pointing this out! I'm still new and learning Postgres so this is good to know. I will update the post.
That's a good point. Everyone likes to talk about how trade jobs wear the body down, but most of the people I see going to PT and dying of heart attacks in their 40s are office workers.
I'll go out on a limb and say that not many people know what SovCit means and therefore it wouldn't be a typical discrediting / slandering title. Are cops liars? Absolutely. I think this wouldn't be an effective lie.
Robotaxis would be unnecessary when you embrace public transit like light rail or trolleybus. They are more efficient and thus cheaper.
Author here (article and SDK). Happy to answer any questions!
Well, you know that it would still be able to do more than a 4000 series GPU from Nvidia because you can have more system memory in a mac than you can have video ram in a 4000 series GPU.
> How does one work constructively out of that?

That's the part where people think you're encourages laziness.

Look, my initial point wasn't "just close your eyes and believe real hard". Perhaps you were taking it that way?

My point was, people act (in general) consistently with what they believe. If you believe that you can make a future, you generally act to make a future. If you believe you can't, you may make halfhearted attempts because people tell you to, but you generally don't work the same as the person who thinks it's possible to actually make something happen.

The belief isn't what drives the outcome - the action is. But the action flows out of the belief.

[Edit to reply, since I'm rate-limited: Fair reply. Yes, you did say that in your initial comment; I had forgotten. Thanks for the charitable reading.]

ALL enforcement of laws in normal situations rely on officers/departments personal reading of a situation.

AI Inference Now Available in Supabase Edge Functions
They also support ECC UDIMMs with ECC enabled, which has been the "PRO" series APU killer feature on AM4 for me. The non-"PRO" APUs will run fine with ECC UDIMMs, but cannot make use of the extra parity information (maybe for reasons of market segmentation - I don't know if anyone outside of AMD knows). This is probably less of a concern with DDR5 platforms and their "on-DIE ECC" (which you cannot monitor for Correctable Errors at least, afaik), but it's still gonna matter for me.
I meant the current generation of GPUs that don't have any AI acceleration blocks.
Thrill seeking can be an addiction, but whether its bad is debatable. I have that tendency myself.
Thank you for the perspective! I don't think any other regular job would be as cushy as software engineering, but that's ok with me. Software seems ridiculously overpaid to me, and it actually kinda rubs my work ethic the wrong way. I frequently hear of (and see) people working only a few days a week but making bank... that doesn't inspire me, it just saddens me that society is wasting that kind of money. (Not saying you're like that, just some of the stories/people I know.)

Anyway, personally, I am particularly interested in civil infrastructure engineering. I never made all that much as a software person anyway (capped out at $100k after 10+ years of full-time work, 20 years of experience), and I don't have kids or a mortgage. I just want the opportunity to do something more meaningful and contribute to society more.
I postulated in another thread yesterday that the use of exxagerations / superlatives might be triggering contra. If we had the same article, but with the title "Black hole with 33 times the mass of the sun discovered" we could measure if the reactions are less severe.
I am interested in many fields and have done several side projects, but my programming level is only elementary. This means that when I enter a new field, I need a lot of searching and making choices. I feel like what I want more is best practices. Based on the latest trends, what are the best practices for doing xx things. There are many small lists underneath a big topic. If someone could maintain such a list on a regular basis, I would be willing to pay, because searching and making decisions takes a lot of time, and time is money.
There actually was one in the past that did just that. And I don't mean that apple thing because it's way too locked into their walled garden and it's too US centric.

Edit: It was blendle. It seems to be still around even. But it's only focused on the Dutch market now, they used to have bigger plans. They only have some magazines now anyway, they used to have all the major newspapers onboard.

But anyway in the Netherlands we have an excellent state-owned news company (NOS). They're just funded by taxes. So I'm not bothered to pay for anything else. Also, all the other media are in the clammy hands of 2 huge Belgian media concerns (DPG and Mediahuis) and I have no intention of funding them.
where can I download the weather data?

My whole city is behind NAT (IPv4), it's like small tor. I think IPv6 was supposed to work the same: the whole city should be in a single /64 network, otherwise address randomization doesn't provide k-anonymity.
Well fair enough, I remember that with great excitement back in the day. Is it possible that MSFT has moved on from this perspective?
The game truly doesn't function without stakes. With no bets, the only stakes are losing your entire stack and not being able to play, so it pushes the game very early on into all-in territory.

With small sums ($5), it's too easy to slip into the same mindset after your buddy offers you a beer (since it's basically paid for)

In high school we combatted this with a $20 buy in. Now we do a $50 buy in. Sure, it kinda sucks to lose. But the money is just going back to your friends, and a dinner + drinks out on the town is likely to cost the same. Even when you lose you still had a fun night. And when you win it's even better!

Of course, we are only playing once every few months.. so it's really not a big issue financially.
Nice. Long time options trader. I just bought into the Definace ETFs that play the opposite side of this to get monthly returns. I did QQQY and IWMY. Returns per share last month were $0.80 and $1.10, respectively.
