Good webpage and nice job with all the different infra/deploy options.

well done, will try it out!
I see a lot of comments being made on here that are highly speculative of actual Asian American culture coming from users who - from their post histories - are not Asian. It's a lot of hearsay, and none of it is lived experience. The views that we "smoke behind our parents backs", or "burn a lot of incense", or "cook with a wok" are dated and archaic takes on what our lives are like. To the users making these comments - have you ever been in an Asian household?
That's definitely a factor, absolutely, and something Western countries have been doing absolutely pathetically at. Very much a "we've tried nothing and we're out of ideas" sort of situation.

But even if housing was cheaper, it would still be more expensive to have kids than not, if you want the space-per-person metric to stay at least somewhat similar.
I did try it a couple times in the past, it just never quite felt like home. I don't know why, I couldn't give you an objective reason as to why I didn't like it. I probably should give it another try soon.

Lists are an even simpler recursive structure, but people really struggle with the idea of head vs. tail. Using a for loop to iterate a list is way easier for beginners to understand. Even experts usually prefer a list comprehension over explicit recursion.
I agree with part of your statement. I think if you were found not guilty, the state should have to pay your legal fees. It's an unfair fight against the full might of the government.

And culture.

People keep talking about the birth rate like it's just an economics problem, but it's not. It's just that people are too comfortable with thinking in economic terms, and looking at it from the angle of culture is taboo in many ways.
After seeing what states have done to reproductive rights in the last 5 years and the continual lack of affordable healthcare which is considered a basic right in every other developed nation: fuck em'. The pensions, the tax system, the politician's salaries and kickbacks, they can all burn.

If banning TikTok is a national security requirement then they should just ban TikTok rather than create a law that grants new peers to the government. I don't have the codes handy, but I'm 99% sure the powers are already in place for the government to have forced he ban of TikTok without new laws if national security was at risk.

I'm hesitant to assume people are uneducated because of who they vote for. Talking about Covid and the pandemic response, a vast majority of our politicians and health leaders were knowingly spouting off lies in the name of what they thought was best for us. Again, I can't pin that on any one person, even Fouci. The system broke down and that says nothing meaningful about the average voter.

That said, an educated populace is a fundamental need in a democracy and one that the US founders were well aware of. We don't have that today, whether by incompetence or malice our major societal systems reinforce obedience and subservience. We need more people following their curiosity wherever it leads, and we won't get there by continuing to further lean into a distrust of the general public or by making everyone's daily lives more and more complicated and stretched with less time to spend however each person wants to spend it.
Prior to British Mandatory Palestine, everyone living in the territory you're talking about was a subject of the Ottoman empire; the British --- certainly not the heroes of this story --- didn't steal any self-determination from the people there, because none existed.

I don't see the commenter you're replying to saying that Palestinians don't have any rights to their own homeland, for what it's worth.

Always useful to keep in mind that this is an immensely complicated struggle, not well captured by any slogan or argument that fits in an HN comment, and that it is extraordinarily unlikely that we're going to resolve it on HN at all.

You're both great commenters on this site. If you're at an impasse over this, maybe agreeing to disagree is a strong move here?
It doesn't matter if it cost $0 when it just ends up collecting dust. Quest2 go for just $200, that's already plenty of cheap for pretty much everybody. It's the whole software and content landscape that still isn't very compelling. Worse yet, they even do a terrible job of highlighting all the good stuff you actually can do in VR. They also do a bad job at bringing content into VR that could easily take advantage of it, e.g. 3D movies, porting old games into VR, etc.

As for ads, so far the Quest is still ad free.

Higher income is correlated with higher fertility rate in Sweden. Presumably, immigrants are more likely to be poorer.
Spectrum is charging me $85 a month (and constantly increasing) for internet (JUST internet) that clocks out at about 200 Mbps, so that really doesn't sound all that bad.
There has been a some recent investigations into bitnets (1 or 2-bit weights for NNs including LLMs) where they show that a 1.58 bit weight (with values: -1,0,1) can achieve very good results. Effectively that's 2 bits. The problem is that doing 2-bit math on a CPU or GPU isn't going to be very efficient (lots of shifting & masking). But doing 2-bit math on an FPGA is really easy and space-efficient. Another bonus is that many of the matrix multiplications are replaced by additions. Right now if you want to investigate these smaller weight sizes FPGAs are probably the best option.

Agreed.
Show HN: Bluecov – Code Coverage
Hi HN. Dissatisfied with the existing tools that didn't meet my use case, I've been working on creating a better code coverage app called Bluecov.

Currently, it supports Java + JaCoCo coverage reports, which can be uploaded directly on the site. There is no upload tool at the moment, which means it won't integrate with any CI/CD tools, but that is a future goal.

Other upcoming features include:

* Graphs with coverage trends
* A dashboard to provide a summary of all projects

All logins are currently through GitHub, because I use the API to pull the source code. I do not store any source code nor save any GitHub API tokens so your code remains on GitHub's servers. I save only the information uploaded from JaCoCo and match that against the code in GitHub to display the code coverage results for each file.

This is my first time deploying an app into the wild on my own, so I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. I've also applied to YC S24 in hopes I can move to working on it full time.

> Except few of us actually do. Most plans are unlimited for calls and texts at least. If there's a limit, it's on data.

Whether you pay per-SMS or whether you pay bulk for "unlimited" calls and texts, you're still paying for the path from the tower to your phone. Calling a cell phone in the US is the same price as calling a landline.

In the UK, it's possible to buy a phone that has no outgoing minutes or texts. This is useful because people can still call you. In fact, at some point there was a provider that would pay you a "cut" on every SMS or phone call you received. And calling a mobile phone -- whether you're calling from a landline or another mobile phone -- is more expensive than calling a landline.

Which is almost certainly one of the key problems with implementing such a system in the US: in the UK and Europe, mobile phone numbers look obviously different than landline numbers, so you know ahead of time that the call is going to cost you more. In the US, they look the same, so you'd never know how much you would get charged.

> The billing mechanism to bill all the way back to the sender might be impossible with the current technologies being used

If you call my mobile phone, my mobile operator will be paid for that call one way or another; I'm pretty sure neither they nor any of the companies in between your phone provider and mine are going to give it away for free out of the goodness of their hearts. Which means the charge-back mechanism is already in place; it's just not used in the US.
Yeah but what comes after the mass layoffs? Getting hired to clean up the mess that AI eventually creates? Depending on the business it could end up becoming more expensive than if they had never adopted GenAI at all. Think about how many companies hopped on the Big Data Bandwagon when they had nothing even coming close to what "Big Data" actually meant. That wasn't as catastrophic as what AI would do but it still was throwing money in the wrong direction.
I’m a Googler who doesn’t do anything remotely close to setting capital return policy. Just remember Alphabet has been buying back 10s of billions for a while. Dividends are just a different capital return mechanism.
There might be some circumstances where working under a non-compete is acceptable (well compensated garden leave, very narrow domain you're not that married to, old-school firm culture with expectation of lifetime employment) but overall I think it'd be pretty crazy to try to have a tech career anywhere except California under current law. If you get laid off you're effectively prohibited from earning any income related to your skills for 2+ years.
I will be the contrarian: JSON numbers are not floating point values, they are strings of characters matching the format "-?(?:0|[1-9]\d*)(?:\.\d+)?(?:[eE][+-]?\d+)?". You can choose to parse them however you want, and parsing libraries should provide a mechanism to decode to an arbitrary-precision value.

> The pensions, the tax system, the politician's salaries and kickbacks, they can all burn.

A pretty straightforward fix would be to make pension eligibility contingent on fertility: no kids, no pension benefit. Of course, you'd still have to pay into the system, regardless.
Another way to do it would be to require the state to provide funds for legal defense for everyone, regardless of income or assets, with at least with the same budget as they use for the prosecution.

Again, this won't change anything in the typical case, because the typical criminal case involves something who is clearly guilty. But it'll keep innocent people out of jail.
I think saying, "we don't want kids for economic reasons" is a cover. Kids are a lot of work, contraception is effective, and we don't want to be tied down for 18 years if we don't have to. It's selfish, but the truth.

My great grandparents had 8 kids, their kids had 4, mine 2, and me zero. There you go. Each generation in my family at least was financially better than the last.

I’ll go so far as to say many put sex ahead of kids, and when the sex dies so does the family. Kids be damned. Next level hedonism enabled by our advanced technology that we are unable to resist.
Love the source available API proxy, that’s a useful component on its own! A little disappointed to see that most of the really good stuff is not available for self-hosting, but an IPaaS/Unified API is a not the kind of project one tinkers away at on the weekends for the joy of it. It’s hard work, deserves congratulations, and bills gotta get paid.

I remain ever hopeful for an open source IPaaS some day (had a chat with my cofounders about it this morning actually) but I just don’t see the incentives aligning. 1.) It’s hard to do, 2.) I don’t see a megacorp sponsoring a CNCF project, 3.) some amount of the work is in mapping concepts to your own platform, 4.) there is a gauntlet of legal agreements, branding guidelines, security reviews, etc., to go through with third parties regardless.

All that said, I'll be taking a closer look at Nango, because this is an evergreen problem, and I'm interested in finding the best solution.
> But even if housing was cheaper, it would still be more expensive to have kids than not, if you want the space-per-person metric to stay at least somewhat similar.

Yeah, that's a good point. We have tax credits for families, but they're utterly pathetic.
> No Abstractions here really means "just use terms from the underlying system"

The article clearly says it also means "no unifying similar objects", which enables the naming decision.

Sweden is still below replacement rate, though. I think the reality is that having kids is still expensive, and lacking cultural pressure, people look at the utilitarian aspects more when considering whether to have kids. It's obviously far from the only factor, but compromising standard of living or retirement savings or what have you does factor in.

Yeah I do think you can see in Stripes API places where there are differing tensions between “let’s make this potentially universal” and “let’s accept that this stuff is going to probably only apply for one payment method in one market”.

This is basically it. Investors and board reps saw Meta stock go up with dividend. Once they see that, there is no way that they'll not pressure the Google to copy it and boost stock price.
This reminds me when I got a “survey” email from ERCOT, the entity that oversees Texas’ “deregulated” energy provider racket. I was ready to lay into them hard, but starting with the second or third questions, it was clear that all they were concerned about was to _sell_ new products — ZERO interest in hearing feedback of how terrible the system for end users, they just want to sell some sort of outage insurance product (“would you pay $5 to be protected from a 30 minute or less outage one time?”).

I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t a less than noble ulterior motive behind this push, although I’m hoping for the best. Sounds like the main reason it may actually make sense to bring it back from their PoV is because ISPs have to deal with individual state laws.

That's decompiled source and while, for Java at least, it can be pretty usable, it's actually going to differ in many ways from the original source due to optimization and obfuscation. I'm fairly sure neither Mojang nor Microsoft were particularly pleased about this, indeed their use of obfuscation implies they want to make your life more difficult doing it.

I think your point is that the Java version at least is easy to modify, but that's because it's in Java, not because Microsoft wants you to. "Open source" and even "source available" are terms of art which don't apply here. "Very hackable" seems more appropriate.

I have run into these locked up shelves up and down the west coast of the US in many cities. It is strange and inconvenient but very understandable - I’ve seen a couple times now people openly stealing things and the store workers doing nothing but requesting politely that the criminal leave. That is not going to work and until people are allowed to defend against crimes and police are allowed to do their work, it will continue. Or maybe it’s prosecutors that need to do their job because they usually release these guys with no real punishment.
Seems like there should be an optional trial end, in addition to conviction or acquittal, for "prosecution shouldn't have brought this case", where the accused would get some kind of compensation. I don't know the details of this case, but I remember hearing about it many years ago. I can't imagine the expense and stress of such a trial, dragging on for so long, and then at the end it's just "Okay, guess you're not guilty."

Sometimes it seems like prosecutors brought a reasonable case given the evidence and tried it fairly. In this case, I believe acquittal is the right call. Other times it seems like a case that shouldn't have been brought and you should be compensated for that and/or the prosecutor should be punished.
Love this. Then our leaders' true views of us as cattle will be out wide in the open.
