I feel this has changed over the years too. Many years ago I chose Ubuntu as it was fresher and bugs seemed to be fixed quicker, maybe as it was always more recent.

I moved to Debian and found there was not really any small bugs and, as a bonus, no major things completely broken like Ubuntu broke a few packages with some sort of snap dpkg confusion.

Ubuntu has a bit of a stinky vibe lately. The whole lxd thing and the number of people I know, some I have worked with and are great, went to work there and left quickly.
Sure, it's all feelings. We just need to tell people they're actually safe! Let's get the data out there!
Honestly, the fact that YC backed this company is driving my (admittedly already low) opinion of YC even lower.
I've never heard of this site but the about us starts with:

The homepage has a headline of "Owning the libs" and the paid members section seem to be called "Patriots".

Clearly there's some different agenda besides reporting the news. This is a low budget version of something like Breitbart and I won't bother reading the article.
Every job I tried this approach on were immediate rejections. Only solutions that completely fulfilled the requirements, with lots of testing, etc. were accepted for next steps. IE. I've never seen anyone who actually meant it when they gave a time limit.
Especially since they just rebranded Office365 to Microsoft365.

Microsoft branding is so bad.
The pejorative term, in the economic sense, tends to be reserved for rents obtained by gaming the system, rather than the usual kind that charges for use of property or capital.

Example: a utility company lobbies for a law requiring utilities to charge a junk fee.

Non-example: I charge someone to live in my spare bedroom.

Tesla is offering use of something they built (Superchargers, self-driving software, etc.) in exchange for a fee. They aren't gaming the system to force anyone to pay. You might not like the pricing model, but there's nothing economically wrong with it.
It looks very useful. Are you going to release a binary or put it up on brew?

Save taxpayer money today by outsourcing to a vendor that might have a problem, but really isn’t your “fault” per se. OR spend a lot of taxpayer money running your own system; which if there is a problem is very much your “fault”.

I don’t agree with the outcome, but the logic isn’t hard to follow.
> They also have a 2gb plan for $10.

Seems like a good option to have a second number that you hand out to stupid 2FA businesses and banks that isn't your real number. Set the ringer for that number on mute or hook it up to a throwaway phone that sits somewhere plugged in and forwards SMS to your e-mail or some such.

I'm sure a child under 13 would never lie about their age, especially if desirable features are age-gated.

That's a pretty extreme interpretation. Anyone who downloads the IDE can create and publish a game. If kids are using the tool, making fun games, and sharing them with other people, than I think that's a good thing.

Roblox is making money off various sorts of in-app purchases, but you can make an account for free, you can play games for free, and you can create games for free. It's not much of a nefarious plot.

Historically, they've been scared of versioning their APIs (not many services have done it, dynamodb has, for example).

It leads to a "bad customer experience", having to update lots of code, and also increases maintenance costs while you keep two separate code paths functional.

There's a lot about the S3 API that would be changed, including the response codes etc., if S3 engineers had freedom to change it! I remember many conversations on the topic when I worked alongside them in AWS.

Love that book. It enabled me to have one of my favourite flights of all time. Sat next to Chris Turner, chatting about his time at Acorn for about 9 hours.

I blogged about something related and included this anecdote part way through. https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ - under "A short aside"
Which solution do you want?

Should we bring in more below-minimum wage agricultural labour?

Should we reverse wage growth in the poorest segment of society - the people that grow and cook your food?

Should we lower commercial and residential rents?

Should we redistribute the record profits that (some) parts of the capital-owning class are reaping?

Your life is just catching up to the reality that X hours of labour is required to provide you with 1 hour of luxury, and when that labour starts getting paid more for their work, prices go up.

(It's the same reason childcare is unaffordable. One care provider is only allowed to watch after 3/4 infants. If you want 8 hours of childsitting a day, that means that half of your salary must go to pay for it.)
The fun lasted for as long as free VC money was there and when that ran out they all went downhill.

We shouldn't care if you want to buy a 10,000 lb electric truck if you leave it parked in your driveway all year round. If we're not taxing based on distance then the perverse incentive is to drive big trucks until they fall to pieces.
What would be an example of that? Most that I can think of involve a company (cough BMW cough) offering a feature they used to sell outright, for a monthly fee. The fee being much lower than the outright price of that feature. They're still offering something of value, in this case convenience and lower cost (if you don't want it all the time, buying it incrementally may well be cheaper than buying it outright; Tesla FSD comes to mind as a contemporary example).

I think the problem most people have with the BMW trick is that they include the feature physically, but disable it. That does almost smell like rent seeking, but I think it does not quite get there. Manufacturers routinely hold back a bit and don't deliver maximum capability. For reasons like emissions, or longevity, whatever. This isn't much different IMO, if you're not paying anything for it then the fact that they included it anyway is immaterial.

Probably the most common kind of rent everyone thinks of, property rental, is also not rent-seeking. There is value in what is being provided.

To go back to a car analogy, it would be like BMW engaging the brakes on your car and then charging you a fee release them so you could drive (even better, making it legally required to pay the fee in order to drive on public roads). They're not providing any value at all, and then demanding money for it.
Or, you prices are outrageous. I have plenty of money to blow on Mceedees, but its absolutely stupid how expensive it has gotten.
did greed magically appear in 2019?
Last few, rare, times I visited there was always a special on the app that was reasonably priced. Some large burger for 99p or something. So there is some price discrimination. I do miss their 35p ice cream cones in summer
I'm slightly surprised that there's not more mention of Flying Logic on here. How do you decide when to use it, and what other tools/frameworks do you use in conjunction?

Do you share or collaborate on these models with anyone? I find that it's very easy to assume that people will look at the model and see what you're seeing but mostly their eyes glaze over.

Also: recipes? Just what are you cooking up?

> The alternative is dead organisms plus a quite toxic substance in your water.

Chlorine being toxic in drinking water is your personal opinion. Your opinion is not shared by the people who are experts in drinking water treatment in the US. Chlorine kills microorganisms that aren’t filtered out in previous water treatment steps.

Please cite some evidence that chlorine in drinking water is dangerous to humans at concentrations lower than 4mg/L.
Assuming those statistics are accurate - I'm a little suspicious that they're using non-GAAP metrics - it doesn't prove (or even define) "excessive".
This is what bothers me about the precedent that smartphones set.

apple and apps have more access to my phone than I do. And they have unfettered network access to exfiltrate anything they want.
As far as guidelines, I have spent time looking as well an never came away with a good answer. One useful website for comparing some of the best tools is https://text-to-diagram.com/. My personal favorite is D2. Still lacking a few layout features that I want, but it gets me 90% of the way there. The syntax is great for projects big to small, and it strikes the perfect balance between "create a diagram fast" and "feature rich". But in terms of actual guidelines, I would agree with another user that C4 actually tries to lay out some sort of guidelines.

Out of curiosity I found the Federal Reserve's official definition of inflation which is "A general, sustained upward movement of prices for goods and services in an economy." https://www.stlouisfed.org/education/glossary#sr_glossary%20...

This is interesting when applied to the early pandemic because you could argue that price increases were not general and in many cases they were not sustained either (e.g. sharp spikes in eggs and lumber were just as sharply reversed). In recent times it seems like we are seeing "true" inflation though.
They're just doing good old capitalism. Push it til it breaks, then back off one step.

R2 bandwidth is free, but storage is not.

R2 also doesn't have all the features that S3 does - including an equivalent of S3 Glacier, which is cheaper storage than R2. R2 also doesn't have object tagging, object-level permissions, or object locking. Sure, you could build your own layer in front of R2 that gives you these features, but are you necessarily saving money over just using S3?
Unicode can't do it without a breaking change. But if you support non-unicode encodings in the traditional, documented and standard way then your application will handle it fine. Who knows, one day a successor to unicode may come out that can handle all languages properly within a single encoding, in which case an application written to be encoding-aware will support it without even a recompile.

But it it like asking a person for them to generate the same thing, but when the start to list off their answers stopping them by throwing up your hand after their first response, writing that down, and then going back in time and asking that person to do the same thing, and stopping them again, and repeat- and then being surprised after 1000 times that you didn't get a reasonable distribution.

Meanwhile if you let the person actually continue, you may actually get 'Left..... Left Right Left Left... etc'.

They carefully picked the most recent data available, and interpreted it correctly.

The media is reporting that the public perception is that crime is going up when it is going down, but if the victimization survey is correct, the public perception is that crime is going up when it is going up.

That doesn't mean the public perception hasn't been wrong in the past - it has - but it wasn't wrong during the period of the most recent available data, again, if the victimization survey rather than the FBI data is correct.

I love making the Internet practical by organizing data such as putting World War II in chronological order in https://howtheytellit.com/1918_1945/kona_18-32.html and French learning resources in https://www.phrasefantastic.com/resources.html.
To help understand this particularly insidious piece of legislation, here's text of the bill itself:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6090...

And of the IHRA Working Definition which it effectively enshrines as law:

https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitio...

Fortunately many of the bullet points are clearly in violation the First Amendment (according to most interpretations), and quite likely the Vagueness Doctrine as well:

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

So let's hope the judicial challenges against it are swift and decisive.
If I had to guess, people who judge Linux security based on niche desktop distros with no security features enabled.
Right, it should have been "teaching everyone how to handle ads" would be more appropriate. Adults including those on this site get taken by ads more than they would probably like to admit (if they are even aware there's something to admit).

This is just another step of "think of the children"
The likelihood of doing that successfully goes up the more you know about the problems with the old thing and the more people who were involved with creating the old thing are still around.

Just firing everyone and starting over from scratch is never going to result in an improvement. Even if the problems were because the original team was just incompetent (which it rarely is), you aren't going to get a better team the next time because if you knew how to hire a competent team you wouldn't have hired an incompetent team the first time.
Because it’s Canonical and they wouldn’t be Canonical if they didn’t do something randomly and unnecessarily different only to collapse under the weight of maintaining their own unique bespoke technology and then go right back to what everyone else was doing, creating a whole lot of confusion and wasted effort in the interim.
Without a doubt Plausible Analytics. It offers simplified and privacy-focused data tracking, much simpler and more direct.
Inflation keeps going up if people don't change their spending habits in response to prices going up. I actually switch to eating at McD's more, as a replacement for others, because they haven't raised their prices much. I've written Five Guys off completley. Not so much because I can't afford it, but because they'll keep raising their prices until people respond.
I use Mint because I'm cheap.

Experience is definitely subpar coming from T-mo - at times slow/laggy. But it works well enough.
P means pence?
I saw that and immediately clicked off. I do sometimes want documents in markdown format (though Obsidian is pretty good at just converting whatever you paste in automatically), but it's clear this is a lazy $current_buzzword-hype cash grab. Not worth HN front page space.
Counting dollars, my local McD's used to be the cheapest option, and their salads were quite good.

They're no longer the cheapest option, and the salads are no longer available. There's something going wrong there. I can get cheaper, healthier, better food at e.g. my local Subway, and many other places.

It is still reasonably fast (although not super-fast). Unique to my location, the service is excellent.
This looks good. I use invoiceninja bet I don't love it.

The 14 day trial doesn't really make sense to me though. if you want a limited trial, just limit the number of invoices you can download or send, say to 5. But a freemium model would make more sense to me.

That trial is the blocker for me even trying it. What I would like to do is try it with just one client for a few months to see if i like it, then switch everything if I do.
I like the idea behind structurizr, but I found the syntax to be too constraining and the tooling around it to be difficult to deal with. That was 2 years ago though,maybe I should revisit it.
Just post that next time with its original title instead of a less informative thing that links it with an editorialized title.
I built a similar thing in python using Playwright and Pandoc [0]. It's used by aider's `/web <url>` command that lets you paste a markdown version of any webpage into your AI coding chat. This helps if you want to include docs for an obscure or non-public package/api/etc with the LLM while coding.

I really value dependencies which are easy for all users to install, cross-platform. Playwright is nice because it has a simple way to install its dependencies on most platforms. And the `pypandoc` module provides a seamless install of pandoc across platforms.

The result turns most web pages into nice markdown, without requiring users to solve some painful platform specific chromium dependency nightmare.

For example, it produced this markdown version [1] of the pyinfra getting started doc [2].

I suspect you don't actually use O365. There's a lot of collaboration stuff in there which is pretty much unbeatable. I mean I'd rather use LaTeX and a VCS for some of the stuff I do but quite frankly that's just too hard for a lot of people.

Also a lot of assumptions about the ROI there and the availability of any engineers who can customise it.
I think they realized that customers are not as sensitive to price as they thought. So they push it, because why not? It's food. People eat. And they'll just keep pushing it until it stops working.
It’s quite insane the levels of effort S3 engineers put in to maintain perfect API compatibility. Even tiny details such as whitespace or ordering have messed up project timelines and blocked important launches.
You're getting downvoted, I see, but I agree. I'm on my third EV (two of which were Teslas) and IMO it's just a car. Happens to use an electric motor instead of gas, but still ... just a car. So I think it's fair to compare manufacturers on all sales, not arbitrarily limited in a way that makes Tesla look better.
Where else do you think they are coming from? Did restaurants suddenly become a money-printing business with 30% margins overnight, or something? Because for the past 50 years, running one was a great way to:

* Do a ton of work

* Make very little money

* With a constant risk of going out of business and losing everything hanging over your head.

The reality is that rents are in the stratosphere, low-end wages are growing, and so are profit margins for many (but not all) producers of goods that the economy runs on. All of these costs get passed up the supply chain to you, the customer.

It's very sad and all that a senior SWE no longer gets paid 15 times what their barista does (It's only 8 times now!), but we all have to tighten our belts and adapt to this brave new world.

Or we could eat the landlords, but that's not a hugely popular sentiment at the moment.
