For an entire family, maybe so, but let's not confuse fast food for that rare gourmet meal experience.

It's niche is good value convenience food for those on-the-go, and cheap enough for kids parties etc.

If it's now premium prices, local options are likely to be way better. I mean I'm not in US, but there's absolutely no way I'm paying $12 for a mcdonalds quarter-pounder-and-cheese - I remember them being famously under $1 and thus a great car snack on the way to a meeting or whatever.

And in case this is their intent, I really don't think the chivas regal effect can apply in this case - that's reserved for when the average punter can't really discern quality.
Great comment, thanks.

Yes and: What of all the non-famous artists?

I know nothing about (contemporary) art. But my SO attended Gage Academy, an atelier model org intent on training working artists. (Versus most higher-ed art studies which train degrees in art.)

> ...but for the most part it is entirely devoid of any centralized ethos or ideal.

The Gage artists give a lot of thought to balancing individual expression and earning a living.

If there is a shared ethos or ideal among this local community of artists, I'd guess it's: how to keep making art.

I don't understand the need of such a role at all. It's fine if it's the OS-level software, but for end-user applications such as KeePass I'd prefer that there would be no intermediaries between the developers of the app and the users. You don't need to repackage every piece of software that your users might want to use, let developers target your OS on their own by providing a stable set of APIs and ABIs, otherwise it's not really an OS.
I have to say wow! I am on Vancouver Island here in Canada and I picked up my daughter last night from a friend and she starts showing me these pictures of the sky and she saw the northern lights display! We never see them down this low. The sky looked amazing with colors of purple and a slight pink color. I always thought they were a green themed color but wow she was lucky to catch that. I of course didn’t see any of it :(
TIL, thanks!

To add to this list of unusual features, 7-zip can also parse many self-extracting PE executables and display the executable sections of ELFs and PEs. I'm not sure if this has been documented anywhere, though.
Reminds me of when I used WinZip to copy files from a shared directory that had non-ASCII (non latin even!) characters in the file names over 20 years ago. Windows Explorer refused to do it. Can't remember the error message, WinZip did the job.
Not so much "refuse", but lacking code to go down those paths. ReactOS includes built-in shell extensions to browse native NT device paths and the registry right in Explorer. Its same shell extensions can even be installed on Windows to achieve the same thing in Microsoft's Windows Explorer :)

I suck at writing. I lost many freelancing gigs, potential collaborations, and sales, because of my emails were terrible. It immediately turned off anyone wanting to connect with me.

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT, it was almost a god sent for me. Since day one, I completely relied on it to improve my emails, posts, messages, and tweets occasionally.

However, there is a little bit friction - having to jump between tabs to say what I wanted to say. The overall process is automatable. So, I fantasized about building a Chrome extension to improve the process for a while. And finally put some time aside to got it together.

The popular writing tools right now are so intrusive with constant popups, I wanted something that can fix my writing at a one-off click, no distraction.

I offer all the features at $5/mo for unlimited writing. No need to constantly shill the upgrade notice with popups. And I hope to keep it that way forever.
So anywhere that isn't on the US sanctions list?

Of course they don't, this isn't some big gotcha. Why even bother when a Google search saves you the work? I play some old Pokémon games that came out on the DS and ya know what, I just downloaded the game and shoved it in an emulator rather then figuring out how to get it out of my own cart.

Some nice person already did the work and I don't feel the need to conduct legal ritual with candles and blood rites to get a blessed copy of the same damn bits that are just sitting right there. If I could just get an Nintendo SD card adapter and plug it in to my laptop and dd to get the image it would be a different story.
I came here expecting this to be a bigger deal already. My favorite quote from the Guardian article:

“While UniSuper normally has duplication in place in two geographies, to ensure that if one service goes down or is lost then it can be easily restored, because the fund’s cloud subscription was deleted, it caused the deletion across both geographies.”

It's just as simple, frankly. A gallon is four quarts, each of which is two pounds of water. A quart is two pints: and a pint's a pound, the world round (Yes, most of us are aware of the irony of that couplet).

These are all things which are generally known to Americans. But HN has an international audience, for whom "gallon" is presumably somewhat vague.
The problem is that the legal methods for Internet streaming are a bad experience. I don't pirate both because I have the money and because it's illegal. But it would probably be a better experience than digital rentals if I did.
Mirrors used to be difficult and expensive. There's no practical way (pre-semiconductor-era) to make thermodynamic engines on sunlight without a method to concentrate it, to achieve high temperatures.

At any rate, the areal power density is really low and wouldn't have been a good engineering choice, generally, even if it were available. (Agricultural pack animals were solar-powered machines all along. But, it takes no human work to build or maintain the fields of grass that they graze off).

There's an essay and a large HN thread about a related idea—why ancient Romans did not develop (combustion-powered) steam engines, what technological barriers prevented that,

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32607187 (Why no Roman industrial revolution? (acoup.blog)", 519 comments)

Iron-age solar engines may have been impossible twice-over: impossible because of the lack of mirrors, and impossible again because of a lack of metallurgy for building high-pressure steam vessels.

We are interested in your mixture-of-app-tabs for SaaSes with SSO, contained* in a secure MOAT™.

Offer Muddy to most people here, who DGAF (datafeed Google and Facebook).

Upsell MOAT™ and your self-hosted version (leveraging each of M365, Google, and AWS identities** for the browser profile, and hosted inside company VPC that also leverages that native IdP) to companies that would like to let employees use SaaS but haven't figured out how to put a circle around that.

If you are interested to discuss, reach out.

* See the inTune ecosystem where, building on MSFT notion of data container for their O365 suite, apps from arbitrary vendors can share a data-loss protected data space (see Zoom Workspaces for inTune). The way you are writing the browser yourself, you could, in theory, have an option that ensures a web app is using SSO or it can't receive data from the user, other than a white list such as the SSO IdP flow, search engines, and pre-SSO login pages of company's preferred apps.

** Start with M365 since 85% of businesses in U.S. market use it, the IdP is already in their Office user seat plan, supporting "Sign in with Microsoft" as well as "SSO" flows, which picks up most web SaaS companies need.

One thing to consider is that when you run outside because you get a tip about northern lights, your eyes need about 20-30 minutes to fully adjust to darkness. If you do things like look at a phone display or camera display while waiting, that "timer" gets reset.

In my experience when the lights are strong (and your eyes have adjusted), they look a lot like the photos - not as saturated color-wise, but very bright.

> Canada currently has massive inflation problems.

When you break down CPI, the inflation is almost entirely on the back of rising mortgage interest costs. Canada has been within the inflation target for at least a year now if you exclude mortgage interest.

That said, even including mortgage interest, the current rate is 2.9%. That's not exactly a massive problem. That's pretty close to what the BoC is looking for

> Housing prices are out of control.

Price of rent, maybe. For buyers, the housing market crashed in 2022. Affording a home for the Average Joe hasn't gotten any easier due to higher interest rates (see the part about CPI), of course, but that's not the price of housing.

As a FoundationDB partisan, it's been great to see more and more people starting to build stuff with it. Someone recently told me that they think of FDB as "assembly language for databases". I liked that. I think it faithfully captures both the good and bad parts of FoundationDB:

1) You are starting with a blank canvas

2) You will be dealing with low-level primitives

3) You have complete freedom in what you build

4) It's fast if you use it right

For each one of these items you could look at it and say "that's awesome" or "yikes." You know which group you are in!

I hope more people in the 'awesome' group realize that using FoundationDB can transform the development of a new distributed data store from a multi-year project into a few weeks of hacking. This is because FoundationDB solves the scalability, fault tolerance, and ACID parts for free--the least creative and most time-consuming aspects.
> Gardening is fun if you enjoy it, but it’s not a realistic option for lowering food prices. It’s definitely not a solution to high food prices. It’s a hobby.

Agreed, it's not a solution. But if one is buying rosemary, thyme, basil at the store those kinds of things are priced high and are very cost effective / low maintenance to grow. If one is really just getting by these aren't things to reach for but for a middle class family trying to save some money it's kind of a no brainer if they purchase them regularly.

It's the same for food prep. For some items the time to prepare doesn't offset the cost of buying the prepared item so you really only gain better nutrition or flavor. Other things, say granola, stock, dressings/sauces almost always give you a tastier, healthier product for cheaper.

As you mentioned in your other comment these kinds of things are skills that lower income families tend to have / gain. It just seems that it's becoming increasingly less common.

I wonder if it's a recent phenomenon starting with the millennials growing up in higher standard of living households where those skills weren't really needed as much and now they've gone and moved out into an economy that's far less forgiving.

I could be reacting from my bias towards individuals, self expression with this response.

I'm not seeing this is a problem of individual self expression. At least in the way it's described in this article, which I understand is to be, we're all over the place expressing ourselves in different ways and we can't come together on singular, or central topics.

I see trends, in art, specifically movies where the writers are definitely clued-in on the troubles of the time.

I think the actual problem is politics itself, which is kind of an artificial construct that puts people together for causes that are not their own, or even not directly supporting the common causes.

Because political movements end up getting co-opted by people that have vested interests in profiting off of, and controlling society for some specific benefit that does represent the will of the people.

I see local Grass-roots movements that are not politically motivated by some particular political party to be more representative of the truth and moving toward actual resolution for societies problems.

Maybe I'm talking about the same thing I just don't like the idea of politics itself, at least in the perspective of a party based system.

Erlang's design choices naturally raise errors by default, early; Unix/C tended more to ignoring them. It's true that some faults do kill you, and that when you don't ignore errors, the next simplest handling is to panic. Back when I coded in C I usually wrapped library functions to work that way.

Erlang supports supervision patterns more, though I have little experience there.

"Let it crash" at cell boundaries is also a basic pattern in complex life. I'll bet there's plenty more for programmers to learn about robustness from biology.

Something perhaps a bit involved: 3D printing custom "counting" aids. I remember having the block sets that represented 1s (single, small blocks), 10s (a stack of them), 100s (a 10x10 plane), and 1000s (a solid 10x10x10 block) in class. Could make them something other than plain blocks, perhaps little figurines (apples? puppies?). Or take suggestions from the kids. Maybe something more relevant for the older kids. Then bring the 3D printer in and explain how it works. Making that connection between learning, tool-making, agency, and of course the specific technology itself.
