> if you aren't making a GUI and don't need to target Windows, just wrap it in Docker

In other words, if you also don't need to target MacOS or *BSD, which were the parent's stated requirements. MacOS can't run Docker, and BSDs seem to be unstable/unsupported targets, so the only stable way to get Docker on such a machine is to run Linux in a VM. Which isn't really a solution for cross-platform development, as it is a denial of it.

(Also, if you were to go down that route, why not just ship the VM; rather than dragging in all the crap that Docker entails?)
By definition - if you want to immigrate to the US (legally) you must be successful.

For example, L1 Visa, will require your company to employ at least 15 people in the US by the end of it. So you either start a company successful enough to hire at least 15 people, or you go home.

If you aspire to live in the US at the end of it, it's a hell of a motivator.

I'll just add - this beneficial system is largely being closed down due to illegal immigration in the US, which "fills" the caps in many places. It may be hurtful to the US long term.
Do you have a god alternative? I am interested.
A lot of people bought into places that weren’t very desirable and helped make the place desirable. There’s a lot of old towns that were down market from where they are today because the housing stock aged and owners couldn’t afford the renovate. But eventually some people took a risk and did because they saw the potential. Then more did and so on and the town is much more attractive than it was.

The idea that an interloper should just be able to walk in and exploit that is ridiculous. Talk about getting in while the getting is good!

There’s plenty of shabby places with potential. Go there and unlock it. It’s futile to try and jump on the back of people that did that elsewhere by demanding they build affordable housing after they turned a place around.
idk enough physics to say quantum computing is it or not intuitively it seems like understanding matter at a sub atomic level and having a machine that can interact with it seems like a super powerful thing to have. but I think quantum computing is in the same place ML was in the 80s; influential people (mainly Marvin Minsky) said the perceptron and neural nets were a dead end same thing could be happening to quantum computing because of the high expectations
That’s what I was talking about. Just pointing out that in this environment the one company that took it seriously had a huge advantage from doing so.

An open version of the Tesla system is now standardized as NACS and hopefully will take over. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
It's not just Starliner that is going to have it's maiden crewed flight but also the Atlas V rocket that will take it to orbit has never been used on a manned flight (though early variants of Atlas were used in the Mercury program in the 1960s).
Back in 2014 (and possibly still, I no longer live in London) not only was it cheaper per ticket but it was capped per day, so you couldn't accidentally pay for more than the price of a one day ticket. Obviously this is much superior to buying paper tickets for each journey. But I remember having quite a hard time convincing visitors to use their contactless cards on the machines.
Tell HN: I think there are major issues with Google –> Squarespace domains
As I’m sure everyone is aware by now, Google domains was sold to SquareSpace domains and the migration has been under way for a few months.

I build sites for clients and have noticed that domains that were transferred to SquareSpace are having serious issues with DNS settings updating/propagating.

Multiple times this week (and for completely different accounts) I’ve updated DNS records in SquareSpace domains dashboard only for nothing to update nor propagate around the web. These domains all use SquareSpace’s nameservers.

Reaching out to support is a nightmare because their agents are simply trained to say “you need to wait 72 hours” (which, I get is technically the limit but every other registrar I’ve worked with propagates settings within minutes or hours), and after 72 hours has passed with no update, they’ve simply stopped replying to me. Which, I’m assuming they’re tracking down some system wide issues. Also they do not let you edit the TTL of records

All this to say, if you had domains on Google and simply let the migration go ahead - I’d recommend moving your domains off SquareSpace asap.
The Invention of the Integrated Circuit: Jean Hoerni's Patent Notebook
You're arguing that security shouldn't be free, while the article is arguing that security shouldn't be a paid add-on to a service for which you already pay a lot of money.
It wasn't made evidently clear.

> take information and draw conclusions on your own

That's exactly what I did do. I don't approve with your kindest choice of words, nonetheless you, being a lucky sperm, also have the right of free speech
Advertisers are the ones paying to have their ads shown. Google is not an advertiser in this context.
The fare is the same as contactless, but this is only worth it if you're doing many journeys as cards themselves cost £7 each.
> How have we regressed to the point that I'm better off using a paper book than online charts for things that don't change?

because products that require iteration lend themself to subscription models which in turn mean a recurring revenue which is deemed superior to onetime payments for a 'finished product'.
> Those companies employ ill-adjusted individuals that do nothing else than look for the most recent techniques to fingerprint browsers [...] When normal people are out drinking beers in the pub on Friday night, these individuals invent increasingly bizarre ways to fingerprint browsers and detect bots ;)

What's the deal with "ill-adjusted" and "normal people"? I'm gonna say it right now, the reason why these individuals do this is because it's way more interesting and fun than building some bullshit React website for some boring business for the 20th time (this is just an example, not attacking React here, no need to freak out)

It's fun because you get to solve an actual real-world challenge and find new ways to do something. Same with things like developing exploits. Those who do this are not "ill-adjusted", they are in fact normal people that do what they are passionate about.

The whole mentality of "anyone who does something I don't like is ill-adjusted" is just absolutely insane.
As long as you keep load below threshold, I don't see any potential issues.
They do,or did nobody take a look at the MX pointer's IP after they start using outlook mail protection? NSA has openly admitted they mine emails crossing US borders. Guess where those MX pointer's IPs go?
you're a privacy by-default kinda guy because you don't maintain any 'traditional' 'social media' accounts i guess you mean to say? that's a somewhat random notion and not entirely relevant as social media is about the lowest hanging fruit any of us could conjure.

so you believe yourself to be privacy-minded, yeah. i had already gathered that much. my point was that there's all but no such thing and typically merely only the illusion of 'privacy by-default'—hence the lonely, lonely world in which you could only claim to live.
I’d be less worried about the Boeing factor here. NASA peer reviews all designs and checks the final system for anything manned or high value.

It’s possible that Boeing being incompetent and NASA being tied up with them is a cause for delays. Not sure but it seems plausible.

I wonder why they wouldn’t use Falcon Heavy though. Starship is still in development and not ready for any of this but FH is flight proven and cheaper.
I believe the question is if it's safe at all to do so rather than whether the protection works or not, though I'd have to be all ears about interactions between multiple parallel surge arrestors.
Install a Linux distro if it is an option.

That was kinda their point. They weren't denying that one exists, just pointing out that the Cisco response that it was for support use was laughable.
An Arab. I expect the Jungle Book would look quite different if it were written by another European, say Kafka for example.
The historical notes are a great strength of this book. As for learning the material, from what you've written, you would likely be better off with the sort of books used in first and second year university.

A way to find good ones is to look at some university webpages, to see what books they use in 1-level and 2-level classes. (Of course, start with 1-level.). Those textbooks will be more expansive, with interesting diagrams, problem sets, and so forth. And they will use fancy typesetting patterns, like insets in boxes for subtopics, etc.

I suspect quite a few purchasers will be university teachers who want to have this on their shelves, for when students come by and ask for a book to borrow overnight to brush up on a topic.

During the Christian dark ages, the occupants of Constantinople lived within walls they did not have the knowledge or skill to engineer and build. I imagine that a post-apocalyptic society may feel the same.
Security vulnerabilities are faults in the software product, in no other industry do we accept selling a faulty product, and then being forced to buy a subscription to have those faults fix.

Would we accept that a car that explodes if someone whistles a certain tune near it as "just a bug"? And also accept paying to patch that bug?
I'd argue that most web users have a higher tolerance for ads than HN users, so they put up with the scrolling. And if it results in a tasty recipe, then they'll do it next time too, since that's seemingly the (tolerable) price to be paid for good food.

But lots of recipe sites now have a "jump to recipe" link at the top, so they've realised the junk is annoying for some fraction of their users. Although page junk is a pain, shortcuts for low-tolerance users seems like a good compromise.
Hi, I work at DuckDuckGo - thanks for the feedback. Nothing much has changed in the past few weeks on our side, and so would love some more info so we can investigate. Do you mind sharing what country you are searching from, and whether you noticed on desktop or mobile? Also just FYI — you can turn ads off completely in settings if you want.
Pretty sure the GOP controls the House. Do you expect Biden to sit at a desk and sign a bill that can’t pass the House?
Flash games and to a lesser extent Java applet games used to be very hot. Back in 2005 or so i paid rent with a game i made in literally an afternoon in Java.

However the largely "casual" market who played these games switched to mobile phones and any remaining "hardcore" players switched to Steam, which in meantime opened up to developers.

And from a technical side, it took years for web tech to reach what you could do with Flash when the latter was forcibly killed.
So what are we supposed to take away from the initial comment?
For which countries, you should mention.

In my area Stripe is close to useless and alternatives are just easier to use and support more practical scenarios.

Potential energy is twice the kinetic energy in a stable orbit. Changing the orbit by epsilon/r would require roughly U*epsilon/r energy. Which means that a tsar bomb would only move the moon distance to earth by 10^-10

Sure on some level it is extremely interesting and I don't think there is anything wrong with doing research on it. The real issue is pretending that it is something that in the near future will change the world, while having yet to figure what you actually could do with it.

IBM and Google have invested massively because someone there thought that it actually would be useful. But that hasn't happened yet and to be honest it doesn't look like that will change any time soon.

Inregards to Neural Networks, they were pretty much a complete dead end until computing power increased enough to make them viable. In that case an external technology had to come along to make it work.
I always say to just use your bank card instead of your phone as that is much faster than phone. Always waiting for people getting there phone ready at the gates.
What Tiny Tapeout is doing is amazing. Who would have thought that makers and students could have their own chip design made real for so little money?

The tools look amazing as well. You'll won't design the next Intel CPU on that 130nm process but to think that the Z80 will fit on 0.064 mm2 is just amazing.

It's great that there will still be an alternative to the official chip now that it won't be manufactured any more.

Now I want that gorgeous mauve ceramic package with a gold-plated cover over the chip...

You can make an equally strong case that it's actually having young people - no matter their origin - that fuels innovation.

Immigration is just a faster method of getting that effect.
Maybe this is fixed, but they used to not even give you the cheapest ticket in all cases. I've used one for travelling just outside the oyster zone, and it recommended me a ticket that was 2x the price of the daily travel card to that location.
To me, that is actually consumer AI done right.
You can call me bigoted or racist, I don't care. The fact is with moving technical roles to India quality plummets. But I can totally see how in some beancounter's narrow mind this makes perfect sense.
It's about heat. Cable has some resistance and emits heat. This heat has to dissipate somewhere. If cable is rolled out, it'll dissipate heat to the air. If "power wheel" is not rolled out, cable will heat cables around. Outer cables will dissipate heat to the air, but inner cables will not. So with enough current and enough time, this thing will melt.

You probably won't have issues charging iPhone from this thing or powering something for few seconds, so no need to go crazy about it, just something to keep in mind.
> where most b2c consumers are happy to pay $10+ per DAY on a cup of coffee but not willing to spend $10 on a software PER MONTH

You can see where the money goes for the first, planting and farming, physically transporting beans across the world, processing them, physically making and handing you the coffee.

Bits in a screen that someone just comfortably typed and then pressed a button to ship is not as valuable. On the other hand, even if you can charge much less for it, you can charge it to everyone in the world for pretty much zero additional cost. So I wouldn't complain with the tradeoff.
Yes.

Microsoft should have a variety of hardened images included on every Windows installation media.

After a hardened OS image is installed, it should not be left to the administrative user to figure out how to make one of the 100 most common Windows apps work with it. Instead, Windows should allow novice administrative users to say "allow Office 365 to install and run," or "allow Adobe Photoshop to install and run."

Then there should be a matrix where the administrative user can grant or deny permissions to each app. Do we give permission to Adobe Photoshop to phone home or not? I should be able to examine every packet and know exactly what is going on.

We need a law similar to the GDPR for local programs that forces software makers to annotate all network traffic traffic, and that always allows the user to disable security-weakening features.

Until we know exactly what our PCs are doing on the Internet, we have zero chance in the Information Security War.

Before someone says "that would help software pirates," know that it would be perfectly OK for a company to send a large encrypted block labelled "request for license authentication" and receive back another large encrypted block labeled "license activation."
If he’s getting paid per impression, then I don’t see how the payout will be unexpected terrible considering the site has existing traffic. Of course he could be paid by click, in which case you are probably right.
they've wanted less python for at least fifteen years, but getting rid of the python team just makes the enormous mass of python code and python developers less useful, it doesn't magically convert it to C++.
A transfer-switch based UPS still needs to protect against brownouts, so it too has line behavior parameters outside of which it will switch to battery. It's an interesting question if/why a modified sine wave input would trigger that or not. Probably one of those "it depends on the design" things. (modified sine -> approximately an oscillating square wave.)

A dual-conversion (online) UPS is almost certainly more robust as far as what kinds of inputs it can accept (though as GP noted, they're more expensive, and they're also less efficient due to the additional rectification->inverter).
LOL the classic "if I play dumb long enough he'll call me dumb and get banned"

You're disgusting.

Either that or you actually spit on the very idea of community and shared culture in which case you are yet more disgusting and are my enemy.
Ah, thought you were the OP. That's my bad.

The "dependencies" point still stands, though, in that the term - generally - encompasses both.

3. Steering them

The way prompting devolves into trial and error with little rhyme or reason can make it pretty frustrating to slot them into automation pipelines. It’s hard to foresee all the ways they can go off the rails or give strangely inconsistent results.

> brew's Python installation on MacOS as are Debian's and Ubuntu's are _extremely_ brittle

I've been using python installed using homebrew and haven't found any issues.
In homebrew you can install a specific python version like python@3.11 and using venvs avoids most of the issue (I think you can't install packages outside of a venv in python 3.12 or higher).
I’m guessing the sine waves wouldn’t line up?

He was interviewed on the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast, and they talked about the incident.

This was the podcast referenced on the John Oliver show recently, when Oliver talked about Jimmy Carter's UFO incident.

They also had a bit of followup (decades later) on the latest Skeptics Guide episode.

The current thought is that he saw some aircraft from a nearby airbase.

That didn't prevent the first orbital flight test of the Starliner capsule from being a complete mess that almost resulted in the loss of the vehicle.

I don't think Falcon Heavy is human-rated.
So is a lot of other messaging. An overwhelming amount for a lot of people.
This clearly isn't true, since if you dress and make a rich person smell homeless, they simply won't be trusted in most parts of civilization.

No, what you're talking about is POWER and AGENCY. Rich people have the power to override trust through the fact that they can operate with near impunity; so you have very little agency to not trust them. If you choose to not show trust, you may invoke their wrath.
I pay ~$200 USD for a Windows 11 Pro license, usable for the life of the machine if it's an OEM license and for as long I live if it's a retail license. That's basically nothing over a sufficiently long timeframe.

I pay $70 annually for Microsoft 365 (read: Microsoft Office), that's ~19 cents per day. That's practically nothing.

Commercial licenses are more expensive, but businesses will have bigger budgets to match.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: At some point you'll come off better just admitting you're a cheapskate who doesn't want to pay for software.

Webrings were a lot of people doing work for free or with little return. Nobody has time to do this anymore, and the only way to support such project would be paid membership (hard to gain traction) or ads (back to square one).

Sorry that I sound pessimistic but I just am.
The teams started working some time around September 2023, judging by timelines shown on the website https://a2rl.io/.

This is not a lot of time and explains why the performance was so underwhelming (eg spinning out, jerking for no reason). Either that or the compute platform may be under powered.

This is definitely not state of the art performance and if the league continues I would expect much more impressive results next time.

Start local. With actual people. Advertise with posters on utility poles (oh well they do not exist anymore in most places so replace with a suitable alternative and go to your local church/mosque/dance club/whatever relevant). I'm not saying this will work, but it is how it used to work.

"with knee issues with which doctors can't help (just rest some, sure, like 8 months now since it began)."

Usually knee issues do not heal with resting, but with moving. And rather get worse over time while remaining passive (in resting position only some blood flows through the whole knee, and the muscle detoriates quickly and without a strong muscle, even more stress gets onto the knee)

So unless you have a very special condition where competent doctors especially said, only resting will help, rather get active again with light activity. Walking, cycling, dancing, climbing, ...

Every exercise that moves the body, without putting too much stress on it.

How is it "actively" harmful?

Negative? Maybe. Harmful? Doubtful, but lets give you the benefit of the doubt anyway.
