I think there will always be a use case for Zapier to cover the very long tail of integrations.

But we want to make it easier for engineers to offer their customers the native integrations they need.

Usually, these cover the most important and most valuable use cases. But they are often also the most complex to build (e.g. reliable 2-way data syncs)
Testing the resistance to fire of stuff.
Exactly. Simply "identify the target"! It's an incredibly broad handwave that ignores all the unsolved problems in computer vision and warfare fire control.
You're talking like this TikTok bill is literally the only salvo in this trade war. Just ask the Huawai folks if they think that's the case.

> A quick legal hack to get TikTok off the table does little to address the underlying systemic issues here - broad, uncontrolled data collection, and mass media distribution platforms that can be weaponised by nation states.

I have no love for FANNG, but there's a huge difference between a domestic companies invading privacy and possibly being soft targets for foreign adversaries, and a literal foreign adversary surveilling and shaping discourse.

So sure, if there is another bill that would curtail privacy invasion by domestic companies, I would be in huge support. But I fail to see how that stops blocking another privacy-invading app, run by a foreign adversary no less, is a bad thing.

There is this whataboutism in every comment on HN regarding the US and China that drives me nutty. A US company being bad does not cancel out a Chinese company being bad. A patchwork law is better than no law.
I don’t get this part:

> MemoryDB solves this by intercepting the Redis replication stream, redirecting it to the transaction log, and converting it into synchronous replication

Replication is eventually consistent in Redis - is it saying that it’s intercepting the stream at the source and blocking the write from completing until replication completes? Cause intercepting it at the point it’s going out (which is what the word interception implies to me) wouldn’t get you strong consistency I would think.
What can I do as a broke guy to stop this? Write a comment? Will it be read or considered?
The hardest part of Nix module systems for foreign operating systems, like Nix-Darwin and Home Manager, is absolutely installing them. The difficult bits are the bits they don't control— the parts where they plug into the underlying OS.

If you wanna give Nix-Darwin another go, I'm happy to help. Feel free to hit me up in the main Nix / NixOS channel or the Nix on macOS channel on Matrix. Getting everything working shouldn't take long with a little guidance.

(I can also help you get it cleanly uninstalled without reinstalling macOS, if you come away unsatisfied. I have manually uninstalled (i.e., not using the uninstaller) before.)
And you didn't lose the notebook you keep your critical passwords in?
It affects all web hosts, so if you want to lease a server in order to install Wordpress or Mastodon you would need to submit your identification to the provider.
PalmOS still does a few things much better than any smartphone does.

The integrated calendar and todo list that was Datebk6 is simply unmatched on any platform, and I looked for a long time.

One of the key benefits of it was using a hard key to instantly open the calendar, with the cursor in the to-do list. The hard key was so good that you could almost entirely capture tasks on a phone in realtime while walking around.

If it sounds strange to talk about to-do's and calendars in the same app, a todo is just a task that happens to occur at a point in time on a calendar. Some don't have that time pre-scheduled. Having a list of to-dos that followed you every day if not completed wasn't a common task.
Make sure you are disabling auto-update and auto-upgrade for most of the homebrew slowness. I like to roll the update/upgrade into a single, intentional call rather than rely on homebrews built-in logic.
> Music was always like this.

This is not an informative response to the observation that "GenZ and Millennials show a much smaller preference for their own decade's music."

Also, there has been a lot of corporate consolidation in the music industry, the film industry, in almost every industry.
Django has the same problem. You either have to upgrade all the time, or you have to jump LTS to LTS, which is also not advised from Django's perspective.

Enfora was great.

GPRS not so much! It did give a taste of the future and a good headstart to think about things to learn to recognize the iPhone/App Store moment.
It also looks like it only applies to foreign peoples? That said, I don’t know how you select for only foreigners without collecting identity.
Also, the open source versions are usually MineTest based, which is less a game, and more an engine that you add mods to to make your minecraft. That's another added layer of complexity to deter beginners, even if more advanced players enjoy the freedom for customization
Did you literally just make that up and try to pass it off as an authoritative fact?

Weird comment. There's no substantial difference in behavior here (aside from the existing distinction between attributes and properties).

But can you download data from regular bittorrent peers using Tribler? And if yes, how does my traffic reach them?

Suppose I want to download a torrent that's only seeded by one person running Deluge. My understanding was that this would involve making a connection to another Tribler user, and that user making the connection to that seeder. That would make every client a sort of exit node for bittorrent traffic, even for torrents they don't download. Is that not how it works?

KYC is that poorly known? I would have expected most white-collar professionals to have at least heard of it.
How to Think in Writing
Oh I see, that's in the actual paper, not the linked article. Having now re-read that section a few times, I think the important quote is

> The predictive power of the lower face size equaled r(434) = .11; p = .02; 95% CI [.01, .20]. BMI’s predictive power was insignificant r(272) = .06; p = .36; 95% CI [−.06, .18]. Combining the VGGFace2-based predictions (estimated in Study 1) with BMI, lower face size, and with both these variables did not improve prediction performance. The highest performance was afforded by combining VGGFace2 predictions with lower face size. Yet, this model’s performance, r(434) = .21; p < .001; 95% CI [.12, .30], was no higher than the performance of the VGGFace2 predictions alone, r(434) = .22; see Study 1.
Manual pages will be your best friend. Run the following command.

man man
Fun. I do like how you can pretty easily create an LLM to do a whole bunch of tasks that it wasn't designed to do, so long as you don't particularly care about how well it does it.

I tried creating a robot driver back when I first started playing around with ChatGPT. I told it the list of commands it could output, like "Turn Left [n] degrees" and "Raise right hand [n] degrees" and "Say [x]." I then gave it instructions and it seemed to work just fine.

"All" I would need to do then would be to have a basic robot, program an API to drive it, and add voice-to-text to send commands to ChatGPT, and I would have a pretty basic voice-controlled robot, where the "brains" were coded in five minutes. At least good enough for a demo.
In defense of the person who wrote the HN title, I’ve seen KYC discussed in front-page articles roughly weekly for the past several years straight. I’ve learned about as much of it as I care to know (and more, honestly) from HN comments on 1st and 2nd page posts in that time. In just the past year, I can see that there have been about 1,000 comments mentioning KYC, and about 21 1st/2nd page posts that are explicitly about KYC (nearly 2 per month). Honestly I don't expect all of HN to know what KYC is, but I did expect most HN readers to have a general idea of what it is and why it's a huge pain for a small % of people (but very large number, 1% of the USA is still >3 million people).

Once you're familiar with it, your brain/eyes key onto "KYC" much more strongly than "know your customer". I might have missed the latter, but "KYC" in the title grabbed my attention instantly and reading the title made my heart jump a bit, because generally KYC means a pain in my ass, and even moreso for friends here on visa.

I have a Canadian friend visiting and staying with my girlfriend and I for a month or so. KYC causes actual headaches for her, to the point that she just decides not to get cellular service at all while she visits unless I get a pre-paid SIM under my name and hand it to her. When she pays for things like restaurants, I can't just Venmo/Paypal/Zelle/ApplePay her back on the spot, I have to withdraw cash at some point and coordinate giving it to her.

The general concept of "KYC" makes sense for some situations, but actual implementations really fucking suck for a lot of people. It's very scary to me to see it be required for more and more categories of services because of the way it's currently implemented.
KYC in the context of internet services stands for "violating the 4th Amendment".
Power grids is an interesting one as even if we're not at the stage yet where "a system with AI inadvertently/intentionally turned off the lights" the pursuit of AI is having an effect on power demands that mean some areas can't build as there's no capacity on the grid or that we can't retire the worst polluting generators as soon as we could without that demand. It's an echo of the cryptocurrency gold rush in that respect.
You can also buy actual flame throwers I dont recall the price but it aint cheap.

This is a better description of your product than what you wrote in your original post. Maybe worth iterating to see what resonates with your target audience.

e.g. reliable 2-way data syncs

I'm curious about this. Can you give a real-life example of a 2-way data sync you or your users have set up?
> I heard all this when my employer rammed SAP down our throats. Somehow SAP knew our industry and processes better than we did and so we were going to be more competitive and innovative by doing what everyone else was doing. We now have a giant organization devoted to feeding that backalley abortion. Meanwhile, we're less competitive than ever and innovation is dead due to lack of money.

To be fair, ERP software has an impossible task at these scales. Say your organization has 10,000 users... each with an opinion on how they think that business process should function or how they'd prefer to change it. It's really important to ram through your $PET_FEATURE because you'll likely be "stuck" with this ERP for the next 10 years, so better get it through now or else!

The folks implementing the ERP customizations end up writing spaghetti because there's no other way to satisfy all of the stake holders (which may range from dozens to thousands depending on the org). It's a failure before it even starts...

However, the alternative of writing your own is even more undesirable. Do you want to do what your org is supposed to do, or spend all of your time implementing a greenfield, entirely custom ERP that will be an unmaintainable mess in a couple years? At least with a contract you have someone to call...

> seems like the extent of this is to require IAAS (Infrastructure) providers to verify the identity of those who are using their services to train AI.

Only foriegners.

> It's an attempt to stymie sanctioned or malicious actors, from training AI and especially from hopping between services or using aliases to continue training on their model.

Unlikely, since it exempts non-foriegn malicious actors
> With that said, I also don't understand the issues people are having with this.

The regulation "requir[es] U.S. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers of IaaS products to verify the identity of their foreign customers"

Q: How would one propose to determine if a customer is foreign or not?

A checkbox, perhaps? <rolls eyes>

No bad actor would possibly pretend to be a domestic customer, of course... <rolls eyes again>

Seems like that's an incomplete sample. I'm sure I can get lower revenue numbers for movies by ignoring major revenue sources.

Considering the functionality on offer the service does look particularly easy to work with, even though there's still a notion of a stateful cluster with per-node sizing & pricing. Perhaps the MemoryDB team will offer something more 'serverless' eventually.
Definitely not in this case (unless you're using Digital Ocean as a VPN end point or something). EO 13984 (which is cited as the enabling act) has a narrow definition:

(e) The term ‘‘Infrastructure as a Service Product’’ means any product or service offered to a consumer, including complimentary or ‘‘trial’’ offerings, that provides processing, storage, networks, or other fundamental computing resources, and with which the consumer is able to deploy and run software that is not predefined, including operating systems and applications. The consumer typically does not manage or control most of the underlying hardware but has control over the operating systems, storage, and any deployed applications. The term is inclusive of ‘‘managed’’ products or services, in which the provider is responsible for some aspects of system configuration or maintenance, and ‘‘unmanaged’’ products or services, in which the provider is only responsible for ensuring that the product is available to the consumer. The term is also inclusive of ‘‘virtualized’’ products and services, in which the computing resources of a physical machine are split between virtualized computers accessible over the internet (e.g., ‘‘virtual private servers’’), and ‘‘dedicated’’ products or services in which the total computing resources of a physical machine are provided to a single person (e.g., ‘‘bare-metal’’ servers)

When exactly would it be untenable for me to not support trade with authoritarian regimes?
In practice, as long as a definition can conceivably cover something, the DOJ or some agency will use it. Case in point from yesterday: money transmitter as applied to arresting the developers of a NON-CUSTODIAL wallet, as part of a wider war on crypto mixing:

This comes amid a war on end-to-end encryption, and so on. It's not like they are going to stop here.
i'm a hobbyist woodworker with more money than time. i have a pretty basic 3-axis cnc and i thought it would save me time, but it really doesn't. the only thing i actually use it for is cutting out router templates, and even that would be done better with a laser cutter (although a good laser cutter costs a lot more than my cnc).

i could see how a machine big enough for 4x8 sheets with an automatic tool changer, a vacuum table, and all the automatic calibration gizmos might be a time saver for a production shop, but if you're building something that's a one-off or you don't have all the setup automation goodies (which are $$$$$) then setup and programming usually end up taking longer than doing the work the old fashioned way.

for tenon cutting like in the bed rail example you gave, i have a hard time imagining any situation where cnc is going to be more efficient than a domino xl.
I've been working on this sort of thing for a while.

For a Japanese spin on this see Tsugite:

http://ma-la.com/Tsugite_UIST20.pdf

which I worked through at:

https://community.carbide3d.com/t/a-study-of-joinery/28492

Traditional joints (box, dovetails, or obscure variations such as Knapp (cove and pin)) require a vertical fixture and 3 setups (at a minimum) --- cut parts to length and machine internal features, mount four board and cut joints in 2 corners, flip boards (with correct orientation) and cut other two corners.

Rabbet joints are simpler --- so simple that they were covered in a video as "The Simple Box":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V93xDM3lXsM

(ob. discl., I work for Carbide 3D)

There have been a number of programs developed for joinery. A current commercial option is:

http://www.g-forcecnc.com/jointcam.html

(but it requires a vertical fixture)

One commercial option became freely available:

https://fabrikisto.com/tailmaker-software/

and ingeniously has an option where a 30 degree V endmill is used, but to cut boards held at a 15 degree angle, affording a 90 degree cut with a great deal of control and flexibility --- this can multiply setups to 9.

A variation I've been experimenting with is full-blind box joints:

https://community.carbide3d.com/t/full-blind-box-joints-in-c...

They're reasonably easily drawn up, though they do have some rather specific tooling requirements (a narrow 90 degree V endmill, a square tool of that or smaller diameter, and to make things easier, a large V endmill)

One test project was so tight that after putting it together for a dry-fit before gluing I was unable to get it apart:

https://cutrocket.com/p/63781eaf9822f/

I've been working on a programming system to make this sort of thing a bit easier:

https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

and have some sketched out joints which I've not been able to make using existing CAM tools which I hope I'll be able to do using this system (if anyone could recommend books on conic sections, I'd be grateful --- that's where I got bogged down last time).
Sorry, I am not buying it. I assume even the earliest settlers had some form of tribal relationship to each other, either via family or friend or even business networks.

The picture being painted above is one of lone wolves (at the age of 16) securing and developing an already populated land (meaning waging war) into a new country is ludicrous.

Here is an example:

> In 1681, King Charles II granted a large piece of his North American land holdings along the North Atlantic Ocean coast to Penn to offset debts he owed Penn's father, the admiral and politician Sir William Penn. The land included the present-day states of Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The commenter was obviously not arguing against using HTML? Nobody is arguing that. It's what browsers expect to read to us. It's a vague comment, but then you gave it a metric of "try to make a website without html/css." That's just arbitrary.

The original article is arguing against using JS at all. We all understand that both are necessary, it's maximalists like the author that turn it into some war.

I could obviously use a lightweight framework to make rendering HTML easier with loops and conditionals, but I'm still using HTML. But JS makes that easy for me and no other language does that. That's why JS is king, it runs everywhere and a little bit of it goes a long way.

Fire is tool. Sometimes you need to burn invasive species. Sometimes you need to start a small forest fire to prevent a bigger one (controlled burning). Sometimes you need to melt ice off a metal structure that you don't want to touch (HV electrical lines). This is just a safer way to deploy an already-used tool.
One of the key people of Palm and WebOS Matias Duarte [1] [2] [3] used to head up Android and Google Material design from what I remember, and a lot of the WebOS concepts are in Android now.

SQLite reads and writes are already very fast, in particular because it's running in process.

The minute you put it behind a socket, you lose that benefit. Also you would have to implement an efficient wire protocol.

The abundance of pirated software and the absence of international copyright law in Iran makes it difficulat to argue for free software over there. As a free software enthusiast it made me always somewhat sad, when I used to live there.
Please read EO 13894 before proceeding further. Is the user able to run custom software directly with a customary ISP (because that's in the definition)? I agree with EGreg that they can possibly twist this, but as written it's actually narrower than you think.
