Facebook is very far from an "open forum". You can't even view posts without creating an account. The service is useless if your entire social graph isn't also over there. Content you post is heavily moderated, both automatically and by paid humans. There's a reason there's no Java discussion happening there.
There's at least two ways. One is to keep the servers powered even after they are unplugged from wall power (they have special adaptors for portable PSUs). The other is to cryogenically cool the RAM then cut the power, keep the RAM cooled, and then read it later in a lab.

Show HN: Bathroom App – Find bathrooms near you
Hey HN! We created Bathroom App - a free webapp to find bathrooms. Currently live in San Francisco.

I've lived in SF, NYC and Vancouver and while all of these cities are very different, one thing that's shared is that it's a struggle to find bathrooms. I've had close calls where I've ran to 2-3 different places asking to use their bathroom before finally finding one. It's stressful and COVID has made it even harder.

A "toilet finder" is not a new idea but the existing apps are disappointing. I've tried them all and they're either littered with bad data or don't have important information like access details (e.g. codes), cleanliness ratings, amenities(tampons, baby changing table etc.) and bathroom type (gender neutral, private or shared etc.).

The challenge is for this to be helpful, the data needs to be there and it needs to be reliable. Our playbook is to launch in a major city > collect seed data ourselves > allow user input > manually verify new bathroom submissions or edits.

For example, in San Francisco, we added publicly available data. Then, we added chains that have free bathrooms like Target, Safeway etc. And finally, we identified bathroom deserts, walked around those areas and mapped free bathrooms (we did that for 100+ bathrooms...it took a while). The result is a map that's valuable to people on day 1 - and we've already had locals contributing to it since we've launched.

I've found that people who are particular about cleanliness, travel a ton or have IBS appreciate this product the most. But for most people, it's the kind of product you may not need daily, but when you DO need it, you'll be thankful for its existence :)
To truly believe that uselessness (such as advertising the pressing of a button) should be rewarded is terribly short-sighted.

That's what I meant when I said that it spoke volumes about what you consider to be a contribution in FOSS. If you think that saying 'oh, I forked a dead project to keep it alive' and posting it without having accomplished anything is anything more useful or productive than pointing out how useless that is, then I'm afraid your definition of contribution is as shallow as your understanding of constructive criticism.

On a more personal note, I'm growing weary of spoon-feeding you. It is not very complex yet you still struggle to grasp the simplest of explanations.
Cloudflare probably respects your cache headers (I haven't used it, but would expect so). This website disables caching in its headers, so Cloudflare can't actually do much.
This is genius!

So the problem seems to be matchmakers don't scale + don't look techy enough ....... maybe a double ended marketplace for (verified) grannies to curate you some nice verified human matches? upcharge for culturally specific grannies, a committee vs 1, pinning favorite matchmakers etc
I don't think people cheat because they are horny, primarily. They're unhappy in their current relationship and cheating is a tool to sabotage or end the relationship. In that sense, the risk is the entire point.
> In my opinion the housing market is the real demographic dampener

As simple as it is, I never though of it this way. It makes more sense to me than the commonly accepted explanation that kids are a liability in modern life. Thanks!
The atrocity was committed by whoever set that default, we can work out a plea deal as long as you rat them out.
The media hasn't been ignoring the protests, blockades, and scuffles at UCLA, or some Cal Poly school in the redwoods I'd never heard of before (I knew SLO and Pomona, but apparently there's at least one other).
>Some schools don't allow other students to take over the campus and prevent other paying students from access or attending class.

People hanging out on lawns don't prevent anyone from attending class. The encampments have been, to the best of my knowledge, entirely peaceful. Certainly the one at Columbia has been.

You can disagree with the protestors. You can think they're trespassing or that they're being too disruptive. But you don't get to lie on my watch.
I saw this news and my reaction was, "Of course it is, doing anything else would be stupid." But that on its own doesn't mean it could just be a phone app if the hardware adds something useful to the way the user interacts with it. For example, old Sony mirrorless cameras just ran Android under the hood but the specific hardware is what made those products, not the OS.

As a hardware person, both the Rabbit R1 and the Humane pin are great examples of why I'm bored of today's technology in general. It feels like we have been caught in a cycle of minor spec increases and not much else (except maybe removing features/rights and shoehorning in a subscription) for the majority of technology we interact with day to day. Companies are desperately trying to come up with a new device class that will take off, but they all fail in the same way, nothing is solving real problems that people experience. Who wants to talk to something clipped on their shirt instead of pulling out the phone they already have? You don't see people in public talking to the assistant on their phone very often do you? Even if they worked well, these are likely destined to be niche products.

It feels like we need to wait for the underlying technology to advance before we can get to the next set of interesting products. I'm thinking unobtrusive AR, robotics, self-driving, etc. which are all going to take some time to mature to the point where they are practical.
>Let me select a streaming service and get an A-Z listing of all available titles

This 100%, maybe add the option for me to select which services I have, and then make the a-z list include all those I have access to.
I have a Champion watch that (inexplicably) has days marked in English and Portuguese. It was purchased in Sweden.
> "Contact an admin" is pretty much always bottom of the list because it rarely works. More likely options are "try again later", "try different inputs", "clear caches and cookies", "Google a more specific error"

You're totally misunderstanding what I'm saying. If I have an error the user can act on, I'll make that error message for them. If they can't act on it, I will make a generic catcher and ask them to contact an admin because that's the only thing they can do. It is not my experience that any of these things you've written (try again later, try a different input) are applicable when an error comes up in my apps. It's always an unexpected bug a developer needs to fix, because we've already handled the other error paths. And the bug is not from "not explicitly handling the error."

> Think about the best possible action that the user could take for different failure modes.

What if contacting an admin IS the best possible action? Which is what I'm referring to.

In the case of invalid sql, your route should crash because it's broken. Or catch it and stop it. It's functionally the same thing.

You seem to be under the impression that having exceptions mean people can't handle errors explicitly? It just prevents the plumbing of manually bubbling up the error. It means you can do so MORE granularly. Also, there are some errors that are functionally the same whether you handle them explicitly or not. There are unexpected errors, and even Golang won't save you from that. Golang doesn't even care if you handle an error. It will compile fine. Even PHP will tell you if you haven't handled an exception.

> If you have written a "something went wrong" error I literally hate you.

Lol.
I'm curious why you added `-i /dev/null`. IIUC, this doesn't remove ssh-agent keys.

If you want to make sure no keys are offered, you'd want:

ssh -a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes terminal. Shop

I'm not sure if the `-i` actually prevents anything, I believe things other than /dev/null will still be tried in sequence.
Ironically the US is one of the worst countries to use as a streaming endpoint because so many of the primary rightsholders are based here, and only license content to their preferred network.
Where do you get "affirmatively acts to proceed with the install"? The original advisory suggests that any website can fire off these marketplace requests in response to any user action.
Your entire comment makes it sound like your gripes are current issues, not those that you experienced decades ago in a completely different mobile landscape.

You continually use the present tense when the argument... just doesn't apply anymore.

> I think I’m more concerned with the fact that the carriers know the IMEI of phones and claim that they can do nothing about stolen phones.

This is not a fact anymore.
A lot of people don't know that before Amazon started, there was a company out of Portland, OR called Bookstacks selling books via a telnet interface. In the early days, Bezos was quite worried about their potential to get "there" first (wherever "there" was going to be). It was a fairly cool interface, at least for 1994.

[ EDIT: worried to the point that we actually implemented a telnet version of the store in parallel with the http/html one for a few months before abandoning it ]
It's good at wake word detection and industrial anomaly autocorrelation.

That's about it.
I lived in rural Japan for two years, and there were a number of akiya in my town and this was 20 years ago. I wasn't aware property taxes are higher on vacant lots but that explains things. The akiya I saw were 100% beyond repair, they looked like something out of a dystopian movie.

I don't know the motive behind that tax law, but if they reversed it I bet a lot of those eyesores would be torn down and replaced with a little much needed green space. In my wife's neighborhood in suburban Tokyo there were several lots used as mini farms or fruit tree orchards. An infinitely better use of the space IMO.
This has slipped my notice as well - can you link to some of the incidents?
Most of that stuff has embarrassing margins. Sending a couple samples to an "influencer" (paid advertiser) is the same as sending a retail shop floor samples/demo units. It's a tiny fraction of an advertising budget to get it in the influencer's hands then in front of potential customers.

An influencer campaign is probably a fraction of the cost of TV commercials with an order of magnitude better attach rate.

I... don't think I misread you? Maybe you didn't mean what you wrote, but what you said was:

> Github is likely using a GPT-4 class model which is two (massive) steps up in capabilities in Anthropic's offerings alone

Comparing GPT-4 to Anthropics offerings, which, as you say, includes Sonnet and Opus.

> Anthropic isn't any more open than OpenAI, [...] so I'll take what works best

I understand that, and same here. I don't prefer Claude for any reason other than the quality of its output. I just think OpenAIs name is goofy with how they actually behave, so I prefer the more accurate derivative of their name :)

Regarding what model Copilot Completions is using - point taken, I have no comment on that. My original comment in this thread was only meant to point out that open weight models are getting a lot better. Not saying they're using them.

Kudos for using "anticipated questions" instead of the always bogus "Frequently asked questions".

But brickbats for not having "does it run on linux?" in there as a question (I guess the answer is no).
A little late to the party here, but we (https://www.bismuthos.com) offer something already to scratch this itch. We provide a workspace to build Python backends. Chat on the left, code and visual editors on the right. However, we also handle deployments, data storage (we have a blob store), serving (we built a home grown function runtime) and logging. The experience is tightly integrated with the copilot and the idea is to get ideas off the ground as quickly as possible. We're early days and you can try it for free right now.
The way it currently works is:

1. You make a post that includes example.com/cats

2. Your post is federated to the instances your followers are on.

3. Those instances fetch example.com/cats in a fully automated way, and observe its preview image is example.com/tabby.jpg and fetch that as well. They save this locally.

4. When your followers view your federated post they see a short text extract from example.com/cats and a thumbnail of example.com/tabby.jpg

Step 3 is where the 'DDOS' is happening, and it's not a request issued by an agent of the original poster.
When I attended Caltech in the 70s, I asked about riots and demonstrations on campus during the Vietnam war era. They said that outside agitators had come on campus, and attempted to recruit students to form a protest.

The usual response was: "I can't join a protest, because I'd miss Physics class!" and the organizers failed.

It made perfect sense to me, because missing even a single physics lecture was a very, very bad idea. I was hanging on by my fingernails.

RIP Prof Goodstein, my physics prof, who recently passed away. You were an awesome professor. He was also the prime mover behind "The Mechanical Universe"

He sometimes insert sponsor ads in his videos but is it really an influencer? The videos aren't designed to promote the product.

Wouldn't that definition of influencer make everybody that make ads-sponsored videos an influencer? What about actors on network TV, their content contain sponsored ads, are they influencers?
`make` running fine is the hill I'll proudly die on. Or simply put, I'll disagree forever. It's full of subtle issues that I got tired of tip-toeing around. It's a never ending black hole of programmer time.

And yes, `just` isn't a build system per se, it still requires something to track modified source files and whether they map to the requisite build artifacts. Good for C/C++ and maybe stuff like Latex -> HTML but outside of that it's obsolete and thank the gods for that.

If it works well for you, cool. As mentioned up-thread I wouldn't attempt a switch with hundreds of Makefiles already working fine either.

But I'm very happy to tell you that your case is the vanishing minority. Happily the world has moved on.
You did not understand what I wrote. I didn't say the eight foot slice was severed, I said control of the right to build on it was severed. That right is an abstract thing, but it has value, and the value is now not owned by anyone.
Information from the business itself is more reliable than information from a third party website. It is also more useful to the business’s existing employees.

Also, the third party website can use the information from official job listings to provide the most accurate and sourced data.

Hatchet (https://hatchet.run) | New York City (IN-PERSON) | Full-time

We're hiring a founding engineer to help us with development on our open-source, distributed task queue: https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet.

We recently launched on HN, you can check out our launch here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136. We're two second-time YC founders in this for the long haul and we are just wrapping up the YC W24 batch.

As a founding engineer, you'll be responsible for contributing across the entire codebase. We'll compensate accordingly and with high equity. It's currently just the two founders + a part-time contractor. We're all technical and contribute code.

Stack: Typescript/React, Go and PostgreSQL.

To apply, email alexander [at] hatchet [dot] run, and include the following:

1. Tell us about something impressive you've built.

2. Ask a question or write a comment about the state of the project. For example: a file that stood out to you in the codebase, a Github issue or discussion that piqued your interest, a general comment on distributed systems/task queues, or why our code is bad and how you could improve it.
Congratulations on launching the app
For sure, there are limits. In this particular case, maybe we say that SystemD shouldn't support weird usernames beginning with numbers, but the other half of the law should still apply. The conservative emission would be logging an error message, not running that unit file as root.

Yep, the setupact.log is how I eventually figured out that it's looking for the WindowsPE SKU, not Core (despite me picking Core in GImageX when offered). They mention the setupact.log somewhere on one of the dozens of pages of Windows deployment, I pretty much found out about its existence by clicking around randomly and reading articles that looked relevant.

Sun becomes hotter with time passed, not cooler.

Does it solves questons or just moves them to another planet?
That's an understandable response. My wife loves egg mcmuffins, which are typically double the price if you don't use the app (and take advantage of one of the always-available "discounts"). So I downloaded the app and order there. But I also found a round cookie cutter, which I now use to make egg mcmuffins at home.

I'm a bit of a tap water connoisseur, and tap water in the US varies greatly. I grew up in the northeast US, in a town where the water comes from a mostly spring-fed lake. The water has zero chlorine taste or smell. I currently live in another town in the US where the water mostly comes from a local reservoir, and also has no taste or smell. In both cases, water pipes are buried to avoid frost, resulting in cold water from the tap all year.

San Francisco area also has surprisingly good tap water, likely due to the clay/soil in the areas the water is sourced from. In other places, like Florida, minerals and sulphur give the water a distinctly unpleasant taste, and shallow pipe depth keeps the water from getting cool.

Yep. This is why a CEO actually matters. Musk is a great example of what happens when a CEO is bad. He's turning into John Scully for those of you that remember. Unfortunately he's no Steve Jobs, but the board definitely needs to find a CEO, stat or that ship's going down.

Are you drowning in work / requests / complaints and need someone to create some breathing room, improve communication, help people get organized, prioritize requests, and generally improve trust and transparency?

Alternatively, are you trying to find a full-stack engineer with a product mindset?

I have experience as a technical project manager and full-stack software engineer, as well as some product, business development and operations management, mostly in startup environments.

I love to talking to executives, users, designers, and product managers. I love making sure that everyone has what they need to do their best work. I love making sure that people communicate well. I love fixing bugs and building features to make users happy, while finding time to improve systems that users never see.

Happy to help out any way I can. Please, feel free to reach out via email or Linkedin.
I've looked plenty mainly on Twitter/X and the only violence I've seen is by the police and today there were videos of "counter protestors" (1) attacking an encampment at UCLA. Please share links that back your claims.

> Radically expressing your political voice during your job duties will get you fired in almost all companies

That very much depends on which political voice it is. If it's within approved voices, which lies very heavily to the left, then you'll be likely celebrated. But if you take it too far left - or, horrible dictu, a little to the right - then you'd get the boot. It's been like this 10 years ago and is now, it's just now the incessant push to the left is temporarily diverging from what Google approves, and also the tolerance for physically disruptive actions seems to thin out - while the left seems to get more and more bold, graduating from writing letters to physically disrupting work. The combination of non-approved cause and physical disruption is a sure recipe to get the boot, indeed.
So you are gone trust the companies that have invested virtually nothing in charging for 10 years instead, and trust them? Seems a bit strange.

I'm not saying you should buy a Tesla, but this reason doesn't really add up to me.
Sweet, UE can now legitimately take 4% of Apple’s global income for uniquely identifying all users on Earth, having undeletable cookies and not having the cookie banter and thus, breaking GDPR.

Computers can do this too! It’s called “foveated rendering”.
I think it's more because it runs afoul of the "Please don't post shallow dismissals..." entry in the HN guidelines. If they don't care, that's fine but the world doesn't need to be informed about it.
