One meter. She has a barn with putside light on a seperate meter but those charges were seperated on the bill.

Her January bill listed
222.84 in generation services.
188.86 in fuel factor at 0.0413900 per kWh.
176.04 transmission services
101.02 distribution services

Some taxes etc and a final charge of 1359.78. I'm remembering now that they did overcharge her & we talked about that w the power company getting a credit for the next bill. My mistake on that. But for the last several months her bill has consistently been extremely high, 900 this past month, 1100 a prior month.

Her kWH usage is 4562 per month & I'm really not sure how she gets to that, she literally drives between 1 & 2 hours to work and back every day depending on location so she's only home in the evenings.
Patents were never the issue, there was one crazy comment on HN a few years back claiming that it was and somehow it became a mindworm that kept getting repeated. You can prove this to yourself by asking anyone that repeats the claim of patents being the issue, what patent specifically they mean. Invariably they can't answer or say "all of them". The real issue is volume and scale of production and the physics of the technology not being suitable for a broad enough range of solutions to hit the volume needed to get to a higher scale.

This sounds a lot like what an RSS feed is supposed to achieve. "What I'm doing now" is a lot of the original point of a blog (web log). The way one keeps up to date is having a "current" link to the most recent item, forward/backward navigation, and an RSS/Atom feed to automate the process.

I'm not sure what the complaint is here. I don't mind saying outright that I believe ethnicity is deeply intertwined with culture and that the two concepts are inseperable. Ethnic groups are essentially defined by their shared heritage, experiences and culture. When we talk about cultural diversity, we inevitably also discuss the ethnic diversity of a population.

I really don't think that is a controversial position, but clearly you disagree.
Show HN: Create screen recordings with ease on Windows
Hey everyone,

Last year, we found an awesome screen recording app, but it was only for Mac. Most of our team uses Windows, so we couldn't create the polished, professional recordings we wanted.

We decided to build a new screen recording app for Windows to simplify the process of making videos for online publishing. Our app, Canvid, includes features like mouse tracking and smoothing, automatic zooms, transcripts, captions, and visual enhancements like backgrounds and shadows.

Canvid is built with Electron (with custom patches) to leverage web technologies and minimize the need for extra system maintenance. Our biggest challenge was crafting a great user experience primarily using web and Electron technologies. Technologies like WebCodec, WebAudio API, and insertable streams were incredibly helpful, but ultimately, we had to patch Electron/Chromium and add several native modules to replace or enhance functionalities that weren't available in Electron.

Another tough aspect was our captioning system. We use Whisper for transcripts but ultimately want users to be able to edit their video while navigating the transcript. We're still working on getting precise, word/token level timestamps, but we're making progress.

We're proud of what we've achieved with Canvid and would love to hear your thoughts or feedback if you've tried it out. Happy to answer any questions!

I have used Alacritty for a few years.

Right now I have about 20 open (in sway) and half of them are non-local SSH sessions... so pretty pointless. I only notice SSH latency when the VPN wobbles. Or throughput if I mis-cat a log file instead of using tail...

I complain like crazy if there is any latency in gaming so it seems I'm not latency sensitive in terminals :-) or more likely: reality tempers expectations.
> There was a stark contrast between those of us who had designed our projects completely ourselves, and those who had significant mentors/lab affiliations.

Love to see someone confirming my cynicism. In high school, a science teacher asked me if I were interested in doing something for the (then) Intel Talend Search. I looked up the previous finalists / winners and noticed that an overwhelming majority of the kids were in cities with top tier research universities (or did math stuff, those kids' locations varied a bit more). At that point, my spider sense told me that it wasn't worth the effort to try to compete without the backing / mentoring of a credentialed adult.

Wordpress (or some other well-supported CMS) is nice too, because you can edit from anywhere if you're not at your main development PC. I've written & published blog posts in 30 minutes on my phone in the kitchen, including taking and uploading the photos, while waiting for dinner to finish cooking. As with everything we're not getting paid to do, removing friction is key.
>And suddenly we're back to 2005 Israeli disengagement, where they did withdraw their settlements in gaza and reduced their physical presence instead opting for trying to influence "remotely" while allowing Palestine to self-assemble it's governance. Turns out doing that is actually really hard, hamas took over anyway, and it landed everyone in the current mess.

Yes, because Israel delivered the entire region to Hamas on a silver platter, having absolutely no coordination whatsoever with Palestinian authorities. This was in a time in which the majority of the population there supported a peaceful relationship with Israel. A massive blunder that Israel seems content with paying in Palestinian blood but not concessions of their own, it's insane to me that this ever became a talking point to defend Israel's actions.

>Suggesting that they just do it again but trust me bro this time it'll work, or suggesting that what they really need to do is also relinquish any influence they have over the region is just not an idea that is going to make it off the ground. Some compromise related to it is probably what will happen, and we can all set our watches for the next iteration.

>Again, it's almost like we're stumbling into how this is one of the trickiest geopolitical issues in the last hundred years

Sure, it's incredibly complex and yeah, I hope that's what happens in the end, thing is for all the deep this hole is, Israel doesn't seem interested in stopping digging, from their actions the trajectory seems set towards escalating the conflict up to a breakpoint in which they can end up better off, since they are very clearly in the more powerful position.

What I ended up doing was writing a PHP script that would scrape threads off my Mastodon account that were posted with a specific hashtag, and turn them into threadreader-style static HTML blog posts (with some minor automated massaging to remove hashtags etc). For my scatterbrain, composing and posting a Mastodon thread is a lot lower-stakes than writing a blog post.
I tend to respect the programming language I am using - based on the offical recommendation, or what has naturally evolved over time.

C, Odin :- my_function("hi")

D, Java :- myFunction("hi")

C#, Pascal :- MyFunction("hi")

Lisp, Scheme := (my-function "hi")

Even these are not 100% accurate. For Odin, I would create a struct like MyStruct. In C, it would likely be my_struct_t.

etc.

In future, I might start following Anti Pascal Case for all languages

I love the concept of the REPL and live editing and such, but my everyday work experience using a debugger sounds like it’s about 80% of the way there?

I can break, inspect, run expressions and generally figure out what’s going on by experimenting. Maybe not edit code directly, but I honestly never feel the need. Looking and poking around is in the vast majority of cases all I need.

Am I missing something incredible?

As someone who moves out of Bay Area back to home country and looks forward to spice up early retirement with small-time gamedev, I find the economics of indie development not that simple.

Generative AI notwithstanding, in order to make a game you will hire some artists, and the best artists are "getting paid in USD" already, to use the words from this discussion thread. They may be talent living locally, but they work on-line, too.

Thus, successful indie games usually have budgets "in USD" and sales "in USD". I mean, making one is still a first world problem.

This reminds me of an experience debugging a network protocol implementation - specifically AppleTalk NBP for other ancient people. I had coded everything but my packets were rejected (aka silently dropped) when real (aka Apple implementation) packets were not. I had a copy of the good and bad packets on the screen of my computer and had gone over them byte by byte to find the problem. And there was none. From start to finish they were exactly the same, with correct check sums etc. It was time to go home and I decided just to print the stupid things to look at later.

As soon as I printed them, the error was clear. My version ran to two pages and the good implementation one page. I had not been careful to clear the buffer before sending the data (mbufs don't you know).

This still cracks me up.
Same, I think it’s the context-switching of managing git and writing the post you have in mind.

For context, that's around the time I entered University. I bought an HP48S calculator ($200 canadian), which I spent so much time on, it used 3 AAA batteries which would last for months. There was a whole hacking community around it, someone even ported pacman to it. It helped me out during exams, because I was able to write programs for it that would for example calculate eigenvalues of matrices. I remember when I was at the place that I bought the HP48, the guy behind the counter was showing off his Apple Newton. Who would have thought what would materialize nearly 20 years later (IPhone). About 10 years later I remember playing with the Compaq Ipaq, that too failed to gain mass adoption. It took a while to find the right formula that would allow mass adoption.
Looking at the output I find myself thinking: "if this kind of thing caught on, it would only be a matter of time until someone proposes a BASM (Bash ASM)..."
Show HN: I built an app that competes with Notion and Obsidian
App summary: Local-first productivity tool that combines note-taking, task tracking and journaling into one simple app.

Advantages over Notion: Way simpler UI, all user data is only stored locally on their device - providing significantly faster load time, fully functional offline mode and complete privacy of their data

Advantages over Obsidian: Dedicated features for task tracking and journaling - not just note-taking, with cheaper end-to-end encrypted device syncing compared to Obsidian Sync

At the time I had a great roommate, so my real cost was about $900. Given the nature of what I was doing, I wasn't going to eat Ramen noodles to chase a bootstrapped pipe dream.

I ended having to go back to work for health insurance. (I had a pre-existing condition and the ACA hadn't kicked in yet.) Otherwise, I would have pushed a few more months.

(I knew my business was a pipe dream walking in, and I knew I was starting it for the wrong reasons. At the time I had some emotional needs that I needed to satisfy, and unfortunately I didn't seek out the right resources to plan what I was doing.)
Phillip II controlled roughly half of modern Greece size-wise, so 25K sq.m. At best, if we include his later (unstable) expansion territories, like the Peloponnese, he'd be at something like 35K sq.m. Not sure where 0.3M sq. miles comes from (that would be 8 to 12 times the area).

For Alexander the numbers I find are about "two million square miles".

2M / 25K gives 1/80. Round it up to 1/100 and let's call it a day.

1000x was an off the cuff number, with the point being the huge increase in the size of the kingdom Alexander inherited - not the specific multiplier.
Bingo. I made a /now page a couple years ago, and removed it a couple months ago, rather than pretend I was ever going to update it. It was just the original text I wrote when I made the page. I assume that's the normal case for these pages.

I went on my Mac and used mitmproxy while requesting location. The API is here: https://gs-loc.apple.com/clls/wloc. It uses protobuf and you basically send a list of BSSIDs and it returns a list of BSSIDs with Long/Lat attached.
My question would be: are iPhones reporting locations with nearby access points or does Apple have other means of collecting the AP locations
Hi, I'm Filip! Here's some context for building this app:

Two years ago, I started searching for an app where I can keep all my tasks and notes in one place while I work and learn new things. Notion felt complicated, slow and not suitable for storing secrets. Obsidian lacked task tracking. So I decided to build my own app.

2 years later, I've been using my app daily and love the benefits it provides over the other note-taking apps.

I wonder what others think. Is it good enough to be able to successfully compete with Notion and Obsidian? I started marketing it a few days ago, so still collecting feedback.

Let me know what you think! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
If the shops are full of people working, are they not a second place? Of course it sucks if removing the free second place also removes the third place, but it really seems to stem from a cultural problem of people using coffee shops as coworking spaces?
Of course, the market could correct with starbucks's business going to other coffee shops that could offer these services, though they probably need to reign in the abuse a bit to make it profitable.

The connection between wages and the number of third spaces is a little dubious. But, the complaint about whinging is valid - "Why can't a commercial organization create a third space for me, according to how I'd like it to be, or evn how it used to be" is the whinge I hear. Third places exist, but if it's not your favorite Starbucks, well, just move on.
Economies of scale have always pushed businesses towards consolidation - that's literally what I was taught in Econ 101. There were large megacorps in the Gilded Era which long pre-dated the modern regulatory environment. It ultimately took government intervention (trust-busting) to change things.
Those Mellanox cards are great and surprisingly inexpensive. I just put 4 of the dual QSFP+ cards in servers in my homelab and now have 80gb/s from each server. The Mellanox and Arista QSFP+ switches are also super cheap, and you can get QSFP+ DAC cables to do 40G.

In no way is 25G or 40G extreme. It is commodity low end in the real datacenter market.

Snark aside this is pretty true. Tesla's valuation by the market is completely detached from reality. Something about market can remain irrational but if/when people start believing that Tesla is a mature company whose stock price has to ride on realized quarterly numbers instead of future growth/ambition then they're gonna have a lot of trouble maintaining their price.

I’ve always thought the long running “Multi-Account Containers” in Firefox was a better implementation of this idea than having to switch profiles and open a whole new window, when often what I need is a tab or two for a profile other than the one I’m in. You can even configure proxies to run on a per-container basis if that’s useful. But I can certainly understand wanting to better separate what your working on then just tabs with colored indicators to remind you which is which at a glance.
