> i never understood why not setup your own personal base station network.

You can, and that used to be common. Some years ago most farmers sold their personal base stations to the local dealer because by doing that the dealer gave their far fields access to a different RTK base station, while before the signals from their personal base station didn't reach the distance fields at all. Plus the dealer maintains the base stations - they are best placed where they are likely to be hit by lightening so someone else taking that risk is overall worth it.
Show HN: Joist, the Best ORM, Ever?
Hi HN; over the last 4 years, we've been building Joist, an ORM for TypeScript & Postgresql, that solves many of the footguns of traditional entity-based ORMs.

One of our early adopters challenged us to be less humble in our marketing, and this silly-but-serious blog post is the result. :-)

Disclaimer this post assumes a lot of familiarity with ORMs, so that it can focus on how Joist (and the JavaScript + TypeScript stack) has solved these historical issues, but the rest of the Joist docs try to be more tutorial/beginner oriented.
It could be that is the number we always used, and deals seem to get approved with that number. Anything less might be questioned as not enough premium since there is precedent for a 30% premium during a buyout.
I think the thing is that most people do have make installed, and if not it's on every package manager ever. It's a language agnostic tool that can bootstrap the language/environment. For most use cases as a task runner, the differences between various flavors of make don't matter.

I agree with _everything_ else you've said though.
Don't discount the utility of reading, though maybe it's less useful these days with smartphone camera translation.

Back before widespread internet, I spent two weeks in Korea, and by the end I could basically read & pronounce it (without really understanding anything) because it was that critical to getting around.
The idea here is to be able to quickly glance at linked articles without having to leave the page and lose mental context, though other implementations such as Safari’s long press on link and the user space implementation on gwern.net are much better.
In my experience they haven't been in the past, but LLMs change the game by doing it by default.
`just` is great, especially if you're using rust. if you're in python or javascript, it's well worth it to use a language-native runner (like pydoit / grunt). that way your "task" is just a function, it can take arguments (and you can define default values), you can even use something like `*args, **kwargs` to take any options/arguments, and then just pass them verbatim onto the subprocess.
The hospital is absolutely required to provide that information and if they cannot in a timely manner (like 2 months iirc? Been a while since I worked for an EHR) they are subject to very hefty fines and basically paint a big red malpractice lawsuit target on their head. Hope your neighbor went after them.
Has the trend of PE owning things increased in the last decade? Has PE gotten more money in the past years so that they can hoover up companies?
Having slept rough in the middle of London for a short while, I can attest to the value of having somewhere safe to sleep. In my case it was a large, dense bush in the middle of Hyde Park (which I can still locate 40 years later on Google maps).

If I had an inaccessible cave to sleep in, I would have jumped at the chance.

Regarding the methodology they employed, I like it. 3d model of the unpainted cave surface, with directional lighting and eye tracker... A very sincere approximation of what the original artists experienced.

One thing that has not yet been mentioned is the loss of colour and detail information (high frequency features) that comes with low light conditions. This natturaly filters out distracting detail and distracting colour. Many painter's used to (and still) employ such work conditions precisely for this reason.

This is fine and a good exercise (like a gratitude journal). The problem is that this is often used to tell people indirectly that they should stop with their political complaints, which may be well-founded. Like...

> Think about this every time someone promotes extremist violent rhetoric.

Like this?[1] I don’t know what extremist means here but there are real political problems out there, and some of the solutions are “extremist” (like e.g. some of the solutions to climate change).

Violence is less debatable and should be reserved for when it it truly necessary.

If you climb improperly, yes, it's like doing a bunch of pull-ups.

But climbing properly, you try to use your legs to push yourself up, your hands and arms to keep you attached to the wall. This allows you to climb a lot more, because your legs are a lot stronger.

It's still really hard on your arms, of course.

Gardening is a link in the chain of land maintenance most places. I.e. where you want plants for erosion control, or blocking an ugly view, or especially fighting other plants away, etc. maybe that's 'landscaping' 'arborculture' etc but by that token so is food gardening 'agriculture'

Part of this comes to trust and who/where trust decisions happen.

If I read the projects statement right, they think you should only load what you already trust.

The problem is that many people load things they just found on the Internet. Like `curl | bash` to random things people find.

Note, if it's not obvious, `curl | bash` to scripts on the Internet is just as insecure as the current R implementation.

Tolerate is often key. It can still be better to do gradual shutdown even if you can do the instant one.

>We have the data to show that mindfulness works

Do we? (From "Has the science of mindfulness lost its mind?" (2016))

"A recent comprehensive meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials showed that mindfulness interventions only led to moderate improvements in depression, anxiety and pain, and very small improvements in stress reduction and quality of life. There was no evidence that mindfulness had an effect on other variables, such as positive mood, attention, sleep or substance use. Further, when mindfulness was compared with other interventions, such as physical exercise or relaxation, it was not more effective."

One of the clearest moments I've ever had of not realizing my privilege was a conversation with someone who, once they started earning money, had to give money to their parents to support the household. Embarrassingly this absolutely blew my mind. I grew up with my parents as providers and even today if my life collapsed around me I know I still have them as a safety net if I needed it. I've been able to capitalize on so many opportunities because of that.

Or the more realistic: it's happening, the long-term consequences are ignored due to short-term return on investment.

While I agree that "let's remind them why they need us" sounds a bit too pitchforky, I believe the background problem is that of mixing long-term considerations (a motivated workforce and a solid business plan) with short-term ones (quick ROI, appeasing shareholders). I believe that unions help focus on the employee side of the longer-term problem.

I agree with you that Telegram does not even have E2EE and that's bad.

But in this thread, GP was just talking about metadata. The goalpost here is metadata. GP particularly mentioned that Signal "fixed" the phone number issue and I just want to note that currently Signal isn't any better than Telegram in this aspect.

As an American, I agree with you. Most things we call chocolate are painfully and literally disgustingly sweet. We have plenty of good chocolate too. However, anything darker than about 40% gets called "dark chocolate" in America, which is just stupid, so even that isn't a sure sign that it's not loaded with sugar.

Most grocery stores will have a few dozen chocolate bars in their candy aisle that actually say a percentage on them. Not only does this tell you what's not sugared to death, but companies that do this tend to make higher quality chocolate anyways. Anything 70% and higher tends to be tasty.

> The worst outcome, the very worst outcome, is to get a small but non-zero number of sales — say 1 or 2. Because now you're in a bind. Do you double down or pull the plug? Does cold-calling work or not?

That seems like a failure to define success in the first place. That seems like doing an experiment and then deciding how it made you feel. You probably want to declare beforehand what your minimum number of sales would be in order to qualify as a success. I agree that the results can still be ambiguous, but the situation he's describing sounds like a poorly designed experiment anyway.
aye, same question. what's to stop me from buying it for a few weeks / couple months, running through a few ideas, and then ditching it?

put another way, what value does this have over a static html page of "150 cute date ideas" from Elle or Cosmo that I could just cut out and pull out of a hat?

searching for "cute date ideas" gets me to Marie Claire with "80 Fun date ideas for when you're tired of a Dinner and a Movie". And with the fashion mags, if I pay them money I get plenty of other stuff that's not date ideas, and won't datamine me (as hard)

I see this claim a lot, and I have no idea whether or not it's true. I just struggle to imagine that there are millions of people employed, well compensated for doing pretty easy jobs.

In my professional work and my various unrelated personal projects and open source contributions, if you want to do anything useful or interesting, you get into the weeds very very quickly. The territory where LLMs are nearly useless. I'd say maybe 5% of my time is spent writing "easy" code without major complexities.
Yes, but Facebook (and others) uses the Signal protocol in its optional E2EE chats, because it has withstood the test of time. But Telegram uses its custom protocol (MTProto2) in its optional E2EE chats, which has a host of problems and has not withstood the same weathering.
> we would be far better off making home help and care more accessible and relatively free market so that people can choose the types of care they need

Eh. People that don't have much money won't have much of a choice. So it'd work out great for the rich, shitty for the poor. Like much else in life, I suppose.

IMO the world would be better off with much better work flexibility in general, no matter if you have kids or elderly parents. But we sacrifice to much at the altar of productivity for that to ever happen.

the CoPilot product has billed hundreds of millions of dollars, and is billing right now. Secondly they copied all the GPL code and put it into a mixer, like a bitcoin mixer in a legal way.

Sage words about "what they do" ring hollow while the only measure that counts is money. This situation needs legal action.
>There's just too much incentive to jack up prices to service the debt taken to acquire Squarespace, and cut costs on customer support and building new features.

So what's the best ownership structure? Public companies have their issues (short-term thinking), acquisitions have their issues (getting closed down)...

I mean, cutting costs and upping prices isn't awesome for the customer, but do you have more faith in a company that's scraping by versus working to be profitable?
At least in the case of Python, it's not obvious it's slower overall. PyPy has always had issues interfacing with C-extensions, and for lots of cases using something built on C-extensions is not only faster but easier to use (see the scientific ecosystem built on numpy). If core parts of your ecosystem don't run, or perform worse on your "faster" alternative, then don't be surprised it isn't widely adopted.
My wife and I spent a few years with a few acres of land in Ireland and went hard on gardening, at one point providing all of our veg ourselves. But now that we've left we don't miss it. It was fun while it was novel, though, and our kids learned a lot about where food comes from, which is nice.

It also tends to involve a huge amount of plastic, weirdly, and pests are a big issue.
"Bereft of" means lacking, so you agree with the person you're replying to.

I can see how it stopped being fun for you. No problem, go do something else you enjoy. I personally love to go out into the garden and just be there. I trimmed some branches yesterday because it needed doing but I didn’t go out there to do a chore. I went out because it was beautiful and I wanted to be there.
I make a lot of money too and can work whenever. But taking frequent breaks keeps me sharp. I think better when I have some breaks and a few minutes in the garden is refreshing. I’m actually getting more into growing food. I have some ginger sprouting on my counter and can’t wait to find a home for it in the yard. The plum trees are captivating, we had a spectacular apple year last year. There’s something calm and sweet about going out to the tree, picking apples and turning them into a pie.

To each his own though. I’d never push my hobbies on someone else or challenge anyone who started to find one of theirs unfulfilling.
I am curious how this will play out. How does starting a war with your largest economic market help you in the long run? If the US and Europe stop buying from China it will end their economy. Do they have enough customers in Russia, India, unaligned countries?

>The problem here is assets that are hard to value. Not just in a subjective sense (what is a piece of art really worth?), but in a very practical sense. Take the things we have very good pricing information on -- stocks. If a share of Google is worth $100 and then six months later it's worth $110, but you put down $100 on the form -- objectively its market price at the time --

This isn't a problem at all. You can let the brokerage report the value on your behalf. It's weird that you picked stocks specifically, because those are actually very easy to value. That's why your brokerage can provide you with a very precise number that fluctuates every time you log in.

>now someone can lift your shares off of you for a discount because the value changed and they raced to the filing office before you did.

That someone would be the government, and the government would presumably put a bid in anticipation of your filing. When you file your taxes in April 2025 and you say your grand masterpiece is worth $1.2 million, the tax office can be prepared to say "yup, that sounds like a good price to us. Now sell it to us for that price" at the point when you file your taxes.

>Then it gets worse. Many types of property have a value to the owner which is different than their market value.

How on earth is that worse? If you put the property in at market value then the government will not try to buy it from you. They'll be going after the low hanging fruit - the guy who valued a picasso at $1 million, not the guy whose grandmother passed down a family heirloom nobody else gives a shit about.

>Suppose you operate a self-storage company. You have a piece of property which is objectively worth $500,000 where you operate your business. You declare that it's worth $500,000, because it is. Now a competitor can buy it off you for that amount just to grief you

Government, not competitor. If the government employee responsible for finding underpriced assets and bidding on them put a $500k bid on $500k property then their bonus is not likely to amount to much. They'll be aiming for $1 million bids on $10 million property.

Yes, if you let anybody bid on things it could cause more issues which require mitigation. Even then, if you put in a threshold that they have to bid 10-15% over then this would stem abuse. Imagine a competitor trying to "grief" you by overpaying $50-75k for your assets.

Something tells me that you will still object.

>It's the kind of thing academics come up with

Sometimes people who object to the practicalities of a tax are actually objecting to it on principle.

make is part of POSIX; if you assume already POSIX environment for your software then make is not an additional dependency. And that also indicates that make is in no way Linux-only, it is widely used on BSDs and UNIXes of all flavours.

I don't like make for various reasons, but portability is not one of them.

Learning the alphabet is key for me. That opens up more native-langauge resources, for one. If you happen to be in a country where the language is used, you have instant Always-On practice. I've learned languages using Cyrillic, RtL, Chinese characters, and and will be tackling Thai soon. Interestingly, it's been a challenge to find resources to learn the Thai alphabet. Another thing I've found is that the dialogues in language books rarely actually happen that same way, but tend to be truncated and shortened. So that's why getting out there among a populace is essential.
The other replies explain the 30% with circular reasoning and I don’t find them convincing, so here’s a more absolute and testable hypothesis: at the average rate of S&P500 return adjusted for inflation, 30% is about 3-5 years of investment. What if that’s the average period of investment (i.e. time between buy and sell) for a typical retail investor for any given stock?

If that’s the case, 30% is the minimum premium at which not only are you speedrunning returns for existing investors, you’re also doing it for the average person who was going to invest in Squarespace today.
i agree that it's common to encounter developers who already have `make` installed, and developers who feel comfortable enough to read/edit a Makefile. however, i think most of those are merely leveraging their knowledge of shell scripting rather than knowledge of Makefile language (which is similar enough to have scary pitfalls) -- so i'm not sure i agree with "language agnostic". it's an extra language. i wouldn't necessarily expect (say) a frontend developer to have `make` installed, or even be comfortable with shell syntax.
