Hi all,

I created a full stack Angular & PayloadCMS theme using version 17+, Payload CMS and Pulumi for devops infrastructure supporting AWS resources.

But instead, in the UK we're going for outright bans on tobacco. Even introducing a new form of discrimination to do so, where one person will be able to smoke, but a person born one day later will never in their lifetime be permitted to buy tobacco.

(Just wait until they apply a birth-date cut-off like that to owning ICE cars, then manual driving of any powered vehicle...)
Yeah, I never understood this whole "you're locked in, you can't get out of their ecosystem."

This has always been BS. I've switched from Apple to PC to Linux back to PC to Apple back to PC and then Android etc etc. It's actually quite simple. At the moment I'm using Apple stuff, but there's nothing holding me here other than just me being here.

I had never heard of Zachtronics, and I've been on Hacker News since 2012.
Ah sorry, you are right.
the catalyst of success for new technology is always porn.

personally i can't really see how 3d will enhance the fun of it. there are some obvious applications - i mean, literally just filming stereoscopically. but that just doesn't really seem to add anything exciting beyond the perceived novelty.

then again i never really watched porn in 3d actually.
I always wondered why I couldn’t measure mg with my gram scale! I just kept asking myself where are the sig figs?
I suggest people to watch "I, Daniel Blake" who talks about malfunctioning administrative systems, and nobody caring about it. I'm aware it's not related to credential issues, but I see it as the same: you have an issue that's related to an edge case, and nobody gives a damn about it, nobody takes the responsibility to look and see what's wrong about it
I don't know if you know this yet, but what greatly helps me when I've stood up too fast and am on the verge of 'seeing stars' is tensing up my abdominal muscles, which essentially helps push back the blood towards the brain.

I figured, if it's good enough for fighter pilots pulling 8g maneuvers, it should be good enough for me accidentally getting out of bed too quickly. And turns out it works!
I'm teaching my 2yo to read, and it's been hard work. The author mentions that his kid started in Jan and in April he could read phrases. Coincidentally I started at the exact same time. It's now end April and my kid can only read syllables. When I show him a word he struggled to break the word in its component syllables first. Work in progress.
The NHS as it is has a schedule of payment for prescription drugs that is applied for everything - including heroin - if prescribed, to ensure they are available to everyone that needs them. If you're below certain income threshold you get it all for free.

Above that you pay fixed fees. Currently that is ca $12 for a single prescription (irrespective of amount prescribed, which is typically regulated), ca $40 for unlimited prescriptions for 3 months, ca. $143 for unlimited prescriptions for 12 months. So if you were to follow the same schedule as normal, in the UK that'd mean $0 or $143 per year.

But the argument for making it available potentially for free to addicts irrespective of income thresholds especially for the most serious drugs is ensuring there's no barrier to a stable, secure supply triggering the very behaviors you want to prevent. A heroin addict is not going to be able to hold down a job if they find themselves unable to afford their next dose because they have a serious addiction that will compulsively drive them to try every desperate method to find money to satisfy that addiction. The societal cost of even a single mugging etc. is going to far exceed the cost of ensuring they have a stable supply.

> I don’t know if it’s (still) in service, but the USA had a rocket that would fly over the rocket fields and send the launch codes and fire the icbms. The fear was, that the soldiers were incapacitated and could not fire them itself. The backup.

Truly terrifying as a citizen of a non-nuclear country that this is (or was) in place, and that a handful of countries (presuming they all have this capability) is willing to obliterate everyone else because they took it too far.

> Costs are way higher and users are lower in number

According to a 2023 Straits Times article [0], 3g of cannabis in Singapore costs S$50, which is about US$37.

So a death penalty quantity of marijuana would cost about S$8300, which is about US$6100. (Probably less than that actually because, as with everything, the larger the purchase the lower the per-unit price.) Still nowhere near being "large scale".

Show HN: I made a PDF managment tools website using only open source software
I've been working on this website for the past 12 months or so, front-end is mostly next.js, back-end is a combination of python flask and node.js, some open source tools I used on the server side to implement the tools include libreoffice, ghostscript, libretranslate and google's tesseract-ocr

Guessing you mean the McDonalds on Pandora? I remember going there a lot during high school and walked by it again recently while visiting the city for the the first time since 2009. Sketchy doesn't begin to describe it. Was really sad to see what happened to the city I grew up in.
> If you're so network bound that your nodes must be <8 cores, then sure. Otherwise, adding a cheap GPU to your nodes would likely be cheaper.

Suppose you're so network bound that your nodes stop being compute bound at 64 cores; more than 8. Then any GPU is useless because you're still network bound and the CPU and GPU both have more memory bandwidth than the network. A cheap GPU is even worse because the CPU may have >100 PCIe lanes to use for network I/O but a PCIe GPU would only have 16 -- and it would take 16 PCIe lanes the system could otherwise have used for more network I/O.
We're through the looking glass so there's a relatively high probability it's true
Don’t we need better drugs? Like, people have a natural desire for what drugs do. Can’t we satisfy that in a way that is more positive?

Some of that is surely cultural. So ideally, you combine a growing and vibrant positive drug culture with good drugs.

The Netherlands has essentially done this. There are basically soft-legal dealers (via WhatsApp) that widely sell most illegal drugs at high purity — but you won’t ever find opiates on the menu. So then people are happy getting their ketamine and mdma and coke and ghb and lsd and 2cb etc — and the police are surely monitoring to make sure that the dealers don’t cause problems. That means they allow the good dealers and shut down the dealers that cause problems (sell bad drugs or sell to people who cause problems).

This is combined with a positive drug culture that shuns opiates but embraces party drugs and music culture.
That makes no difference if the game is boring.
And I’m still mourning the loss of the Online Guitar Archives (OLGA); I still have printouts of all the songs I attempted to learn on guitar.
That doesn't mean that it was used primarily with C++ though. IIRC Watcom C/C++ mainly became popular because of Doom, and that was written in C (as all id games until Doom 3 in 2004 - again IIRC though).

The actual killer feature of Watcom C/C++ was not the C or C++ compiler, but its integration with DOS4GW.
That's not true either! Market 1/2/3 has been dead for well over a decade. Openreach and BTW pricing is consistent across the whole country.

> That's not what you said: you said you're going to be less productive in Rust than nearly any other language, not "mainstream GC'd languages".

I feel that you're selectively reading only what you have talking points to respond to.

Here is exactly what I said:

> Unless you are writing something in which any GC time other than 0ns is a dealbreaker, and any bug is also a dealbreaker, you're going to be less productive in Rust than almost any other language.

I mean, I literally carved out an exception use-case for Rust; viz for software that can't handle GC.

I wrote a single sentence with a single point, not a a single point diluted over multiple paragraphs. You have to literally read only half-sentences to interpret my point the way you did.

If you aren't going to even bother reading full sentences, why bother engaging at all?
> Truly terrifying as a citizen of a non-nuclear country

I flicked back a page of your comments and saw " .. here in Sydney."

I'm in Australia like, I presume, yourself.

The same country that has (along with multiple other installations) the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Communication_Station_Ha...

which has always been a prime target in any first strike scenario .. given its primary function is communications with roving nuclear ballistic missile launch submarines.

Like it or not Australia's been part of the game since an Australian scientist first explained to the Americans how to build an atomic weapon and further convinced them that it was both feasible and essential.
Okay, so I was wrong. You can get multiple harmonics if you use a long enough chain of inverters. I will simplify the paper mentioned in a sibling comment. In a long chain at any given point of time certain (variable number of) pairs of inverters drop in and out of the circuit changing the total propagation delay, giving rise to multiple harmonics. You'll have to read the paper for details.
Same! That was a sad day
Remember when you didn't need any fucking online account to use your computer?

Other big identity providers suck too. For example, google attempts to extort a phone number by randomly locking me out of one of my accounts.
Well, I don't think Singapore sets the death penalty based on dollar value of drugs.

And you ignored my comment on quantity.

Nobody is dealing in multiple kilograms of marijuana in Singapore. But that's super common in the US.

The government looked at what quantities users typically have versus dealers, and set the limit accordingly.
> I don't know what's going on with these kids.

If you do not know, maybe you should learn first before making assumptions.

You have probably missed in the article:

> ...said her name was listed on the truck because a club she was no longer a part of had signed onto an open letter...
Depends, if you are unemployed in the UK you get some income in social security benefits but only if you are actively seeking work or disabled and unfit to work. So if amazon opens a warehouse in your area and advertises for jobs you basically have to go and have an interview there or you will lose your benefits. You also will lose these benefits if you act like an idiot in the interview or you later get fired for misconduct so people are kind of forced to work there until something better comes along. The problem is compounded if you are living on minimum wage in council housing or a cheap rental in a deprived area because there are long waiting lists for subsidised council houses in parts of the country where there are more jobs available and where private sector rents are totally out of reach for people in minimum wage jobs so you can't easily move somewhere else for a better offer.
erroneous leading space on the first link. splendid.
Show HN: I made a platform to help modernise candidate outreach
You are probably familiar with this: "Hey x, I have a great opportunity at company y and I think you would be a fantastic fit. This company is [all the buzzwords] + [insert rocket emojis]",... right?

I usually get bombarded by standard LinkedIn message such as the one from above, all with a slight twist but essentially the same, not a lot of info, I have to do a lot of research around the company, culture etc., I'm sure you know the drill.

One thing that I always appreciated the most is when I was sent a candidate info pack. It made my life so much more easier, because I could get a high level sense of the company, right off the bat - however it's a pain to put these together and to be frank, it's a tad outdated to say the least as there's no interactivity to it.

After talking with a few recruiters, I came up with the idea that is now Role.so. It's my take on trying to improve the generic candidate outreach methods.

What is Role.so? It's a no-code candidate pack builder (think micro-sites/landing pages) that can be personalised at scale and offer an interactive way for companies and talent partners to present a role and attract candidates. It's a win-win for both parties.

For candidates: A comprehensive way to learn more about a company and a role, while also reducing friction for them to take action, be that continuing the chat or simply declining.

For companies and talent partners: valuable data (reason for declining is a big one!), a way to present their company culture, benefits, interview process etc. but almost above all is the fact that candidates are basically self-filtering themselves - that's a lot of time and money saved.

There is a demo of course on the site or you can go directly here: https://role.so/demo but don't miss the video on the homepage - it was probably one of the most fun part of building this project :)

I could probably speak lengths about this project as I'm quite passioned about it, however I tried to pack everything on the site. So, instead of repeating what's already there, I would just be happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Any thoughts or feedback on this would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

P.S. If anyone is interested in the stack it's: Next.js with server components (was a good time to deep dive on this), Tailwind CSS for everything UI, Supabase as BaaS, SimpleAnalytics for the stats, Stripe for everything payments and Vercel for hosting.

i also did this: created an email address that i use exclusively on apple. it actually wasn’t hard at all.

zero issues since.

> The problem stems from nefarious groups getting a hold of email addresses and running distributed dictionary attacks.

years back my email was leaked by a website that i never visited. apparently someone signed up using my email address and the website never verified the email.

Why DoorDash fees are so high [pdf]
What year was this? While I can't find a source I believe Gmail has supported IPv6 for sending and receiving since the World IPv6 day back in 2011. I've certainly been doing it since 2017.

Your issue might be rather that Gmail actually enforces all their guidelines on IPv6 instead of silently degrading your reputation behind the scenes like they do for IPv4. So proper RDNS, SPF and DKIM are tablestakes with DMARC and MTA-STS strongly recommended.
The anki decks/cards are fully customisable to add any fancy extra feature.

Otherwise one can make their own cards (I often use LLMs to convert knowledge into cards and then import them into my account) for just about anything.
Oh, that's quite on the mark!

Nitpicking: I'm not fond of reserving keywords like len or append.

len(arr)
append(arr, v)

Better is

arr.len
arr.append(v)

Also

x: [dynamic]int

is quite verbose

Maybe better would be

x: [int] //dyn
x: [int,2] //fixed
Maybe you are both right but your scales are orders of magnitude apart.
Also doesn't weston have an x11 backend that can also do this? I believe KDE also has kwin_wayland.

Assuming it ships that's already half way there. Another way to accomplish what I'm thinking of would be to basically cloud sync your user sessions between your phone, computer and headset.

A couple of times in the last years I called them and they were helpful, but my issues were hardware so can't speak for Apple ID related stuff. When you schedule a call in the gui there are options for software troubles I recall though.
Not trying to excuse their behavior, but my best friend and roommate was a part time phone support in college so I learned a few tricks…

1. They get a lot of dumb questions. If you want a “talk to an engineer” bug report, you really need to prove competency to the support staff. Obviously be nice because they’re not the source of your problems they’re just trying to do their job.

2. Chat staff aren’t able to do much, phone staff have more power and insight. Chat staff can’t see your account, can’t issue pity refunds, can’t make choices outside of the generic script. You should call during US business hours if you’re trying to call the US support. Best case scenario is finding a college student.

3. They’re required to have you follow the generic published help scripts first. If you pull up the webpage and directly tell staff you followed each step - then read them the steps for proof you know them - they’ll often be able to just to the “custom help” portion.

4. If you make any reference to the TOS/Laws/etc they will mark your account as troubled and you will never get service again. You get legal canned responses only. They seem you not a valuable customer anymore. Don’t reference warranty law, definitely don’t threaten to sue, etc.

5. They can see how many apple products you have registered, how much you spend, etc and the customer service agent can decide how generous to be. If you only own a 5yo iPhone, and you’re contacting support claiming the screen magically broke in your sleep they won’t help. If you’ve upgraded every iPhone in your house every year for a decade, they might be nice when it “magically breaks on its own”.

6. They have minimal training outside of the above mentioned docs. Again, the phone staff has better training. They have common devices in front of them, and if you can get someone sympathetic on the phone, they might try to reproduce it live. That’s the golden ticket to a bug report.
KDE is definitely overconfigurable. Except for all the options dear to me of course :-)
A bit more than "camaraderie" - they were almost certainly in a romantic relationship, whether or not it was physically consummated.

On Spain, flamenco itself it's fusion based music before the 'fusion genre mix' was even a concept.

It mixes iberian, Gypsy, Arabic and who knows more genres under a very complex guitar tune (Paco de Lucia would be either the Alan Turing or Knuth of guitar players) with even more complex singings.

The rest of the country had jotas/aurreskus/muñeiras and so on, a kind of dance with hops, jumps and kicks to the sound of flutes/tambourines and drums, very different to flamenco and a far simpler structure, pretty common across Europe.

Nowadays, I'd recommend Medina Azahara, a group which mixes flamenco with progressive and psychodelic rock. But it wasn't the first one to do so; Triana did it before.

My limited experience seeing how some of these deals play from the inside, it's usually some sort of a conflict or hostile take over; and the "poor"/"rights" argument is leveraged to attack the other party.

This applies also to politicians buying votes and getting random companies to pay for it. It's easy when it's someone else money.
