Ask HN: How to prove we aren't the source of a noise complaint?
We live in an apartment building and the neighbor below has complained on 3 occasions now that there is lots of noise coming from our apartment.

My wife and I are incredibly boring and are absolutely certain the source of the noise is not us. We never have guests over, we haven't moved any furniture, we don't stay up late, nor do we bang our feet etc. For example, they complained about banging between 3am - 7am last night when we were in bed early due to me being ill so we were 100% not the source of that noise.

However, it is hard to prove and I am concerned that if this turns into something more serious and they want to take action we will need to prove the noise isn't coming from us.

Do you have any recommendations on how I can gather evidence? E.g. sound/video recording devices that you can recommend that allow us to record our lack of noise in a low effort way?

We have a camera in our living room which we use to check on our dog when we are out but this only has a setting to record when there is motion (I have turned this on just in case but I would like something more comprehensive)

FYI Libre Office can save files in docx, so you don’t have to pay for mediocre software.

Google Docs also allows you to download the document in that format. So, you can even do the resume job from your mobile.
Age definitely shouldn't come up during promotions. Once you have a role, people are invested in helping you grow so you can get more done.

You could probably reach out to some people in the areas you're looking to work and ask them out for a cup of coffee to find out what career progression can look like, or you could just check out public information like on levels.fyi: https://www.levels.fyi/

I'd also look into improving at the skill of salary negotiation: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/

Career transitions and non-traditional backgrounds are much more common in tech than in other fields so I'd worry less about that and just start interviewing and see what happens. Worst that can happen is you get no's or low offers, but you might be shocked at what you actually do get.
Huh, doesn't seem to be in mine (in the UK). Maybe a phased rollout.
So he may keep his money and got 1/3 the time compared to SBF who presumably lost everything and got 25 years. Sounds like he got off easy.
I am an atheist and don't object to physician assisted suicide in general but am at least troubled and perhaps outright opposed in the context of a 29 year old in perfect physical health. I am also very sceptical that mental pain can be as great if not greater than physical pain.
Thank you for recording the video. I figured the intersection would need a duplicate on the other end to reverse traffic flow back into place, and your recording helped me confirm that was actually the case. Seeing it in motion, it's actually better than I originally thought it would be.
Err.. Why does one need to even use a different language to implement Arenas and Slices? Yes having syntax level support for them would indeed be nice (something like new languages like Odin and Zig are trying) but you can start using them today and make programming in C an order of magnitude better.

Guy who was obviously part of the fraud and one of the most inner circle guys.

7.5 years doesn't seem bad compared to what SBF got(25 years).

Close to a quarter of the sentence for helping the prosecution and signed a plea deal rather than go to court.

There are a few other former FTX employees who are a probably not very happy today. That's more than what the prosecution asked for in terms of length.

> . As part of his plea deal, he agreed to forfeit over $1.5 billion, which included fines, restitution to FTX debtors, and the surrender of several properties and assets (CoinDesk) (Cointelegraph) .

SO he had to give back almost all his assets as well.

Speaking totally anecdotally but to me the popularity of this has more to do with (A) its omnipresence at bars and music venues as the default water/seltzer available for purchase, (B) the push to replace plastic water bottles with aluminum cans, and (C) the macro-trend of Zoomers drinking less alcohol. I've never seen anybody seriously opting for it over an available alternative purely because of the brand, it's just that more people are drinking less alcohol and Liquid Death has an apparently ironclad relationship with distributors.

I'd venture that even most engineers wouldn't know these by name, which is my point. Not that it's secret, it's just that obscure and niche engineering that holds the internet together is barely understood by anyone not directly touching it (like most critical infrastructure)

I can't blame them. I share that contempt.
- I don't own the $700 Apple smartwach, since I had an Android phone at the time and it has terrible Android integration
- I already owned a mechanical keyboard and was unwilling to downgrade to Apple.
- I don't want to use my password (?), since passwordless is kind of the whole point of biometrics.

I forgot to mention that macOS didn't recognize the keyboard layout of my USB keyboard, something that Windows has done for the last 15 years automatically. The proposed solution was, I think, editing a text file.

No, HTTP would expose any sensitive information.

It's just clear text.
People would have to change their behavior from a selfish mindset to a more collectivist mindset. As someone else said, they will need an incentive to do this - either a carrot or a stick. The current "stick" - wasting time and fuel - is not working.
It's a matter of max throughput. The diverging diamonds is great when we are talking many lanes in all directions anyway, like in highway interchanges. The roundabout wins when max throughput is not the goal, and some of its side properties, like some mild traffic calming and better interactions with pedestrians come into effect.

They aren't really in competition with each other under most circumstances. It's like comparing bicycles and trains for transportation.

Not everyone gets to live the most popular places.

> The median pre-tax household income in Berlin is €43,572

Seems like Germany can not afford to not allow mothers into the work place.

Edit: At a median household income of EUR 43k the issue is not housing prices. in Denmark the median salary (not household) is 73.000 EUR a year. I think Germans need to negotiate their salaries.

I thought it was pretty much proven that widening roads doesn't decrease the frequency of congestion.

I think the only way to get rid of those disturbances is to force cars to move at a set speed and at set positions. For example, by pulling them on hooks along rails at fixed distances.
… right because the fourth amendment says “search and seizure”. And as you say, that’s a search.

I am not contesting that the first amendment fails to name TikTok. I’m contesting that the first amendment does not protect your right to own media distribution channels.

We have laws that limit ownership of distribution channels already.
As far as Ableton goes, have you tried Reaper? Reaper has a native Linux version and generally works quite well IMO. One of the better DAWs and certainly one of the cheapest to purchase a license for.
> Rosa Parks “got in the way"..." "...She’s just getting in the way of bus riders who are trying to get to work

You had to quote "got in the way" so even you realize what a bad rebuttal it is. And sitting in a seat designed to be sat in is not getting in the way, not even a little bit. (Standing in the middle of traffic is actually what most people consider 'getting in the way')

> Sit ins were lead by MLK. People would go into restaurants, order food, and refuse to leave until they were served

So people went to an establishment that expected, and was designed, to serve patrons. And they "got in the way" by sitting at a table? Your words lose meaning when they're disingenuous.

> Sitting by and critiquing activists is often a pastime of folks who stand to benefit from the preservation of the status quo and who have no real desire for immediate change.

You ruined whatever tenuous point you were trying to make with this line. Blocking traffic for hours and hours because "my protest is more important than ANYTHING ELSE" is such an entitled, arrogant way to think.
I'll disagree on these grounds:

1) HTTP can be modified by a man in the middle

2) It's better to default to requests and responses being private, even if you're only using a non-commercial/institutional service.

You could say "The person chose to send requests to HTTP instead of HTTPS" and assume that the consumer of the API didn't care about privacy but, as the article points out, it's easy to typo http instead of https.

I've been using a custom domain (with G-Suite, or whatever they call it this week) for over 15 years and I couldn't be happier. If I ever want to move I can take all my accounts/emails/etc with me, I don't need to update any contacts with my new email. It's probably the best decision high-school-me made (buying a domain for my email).

One thing: Don't get cute. I considered buying "stran.ge" so I could have "josh@stran.ge" but thankfully sanity prevailed and I avoided years of saying "No not 'strange.com', 'stran.ge'". Make it easy to say over the phone to an underpaid call center employee.

I love the giant grid.

I’ve seen driveways in Calgary that are wider than national highways in Europe.

The grid has advantages:

- dead easy to navigate

- lots of room for proper sidewalks, not sure what you mean dangerous for walking. On narrow roads pedestrians end up walking in the road

- lots of room between opposite directions of traffic

- lots of room for my giant SUV
Who wants to actually read text anyway.
Agreed, autosave is wrong, because save is, among other things, a destructive operation: it obliterates the old version of what you save. That should require a decision by the user.

What macOS native apps all do, and have for years, is the right thing. They save your work, but not in your file. Open something, make modifications, close the program, open it: the modifications are still there. Crash? When you reboot, you still have your work. You save when you're ready to replace the old version with the new one, the program doesn't make that choice for you.

Mostly they don't save undo history between boots, though, and that's too bad. Ideally every format in which people actually do the work would be non-destructive, preserving an undo history back to whatever the initial state of the file was. Photoshop got this right, so it's common in image editing, but it should work everywhere.

Clearly you don't usually want finished work to contain the complete edit history, so exporting a rendered version is essential. But this isn't a difficult problem.

We have many of these where I live (at least 6) and contrary to what seems to be the prevailing opinion here everyone I know prefers them to the alternatives. Sure they can be confusing upon first encounter, but they are noticeably way faster than the traditional interchanges around here.

Laws are not helping bitcoins and I could less about Bitcoin if it wouldn't consume that much resources.

Nonetheless of what you build or not. You still ignore arguments I brought up in our discussion.

Right now in my opinion you deflect.

As I said before: Bitcoin doesn't even solve the trust problem. The only thing it does it makes sure that one value gets transferred from one crypto endpoint to another.

And the only thing existing are coins. The creation of these coins have fundamental problems:

1. There are very little of them
2. Very little of them get created

Whoever owns Bitcoin right now have in theory such an first mover advantage that no one in their right mind will ever start to transfer over Bitcoin.

And because new coins are not just getting created so slowly they will even become less. In 4 years only 1-2 coins will be made every 10 minutes.

This alone will breaks Bitcoin neck sooner than later.

Changing this would create big value changes for Bitcoin. Whoever owns Bitcoin will experience huge inflation if anyone going to fix this.

All the math just doesn't make sense for Bitcoin at all.

El Salvador Shows how stupidily hard it is to use in real life.

And you argue by wanting laws for Bitcoin? The magical decentralized anonymous crypto? You already want what most don't want.

No one ever wanted crypto to be regulated.

All of this will just incorporate (if even) crypto into our current fiat system.

And no not a single country and me as a citizen want crypto. My family and friends have no clue how crypto works.

Just because you build some company whatever doesn't make you an expert in economics of Bitcoin.

Minor kvetch, but this really bit me right in the ass the other day in a different language, when I was trying to figure out why I was getting a bizarre error - turns out, some similar magic was implemented in a class that the object I was interatcing with inherited from.

I loathe this. It makes certain things a joy to write, but for someone jumping into an existing project, it makes things a nightmare to debug.
It's a new tool. Give devs time. Bear in mind that accurate tool use is still a very new capability, one that many devs don't realize exists yet, and one that cheap models like GPT-3 have historically struggled with.

It seems to be an increase in both absolute number of sales and increase in the percentage. Some signs indicate hedge funds purchasing consumer real estate (houses/apartments) is working towards an all time high thanks to the bottom falling out of the commercial real estate market in 2020 and it being far less reliable an investment post remote-work culture. A lot of commercial real estate investors have flipped to consumer real estate in a way they hadn't before. It may be a while before a new equilibrium happens.

(This is where investments in risky things like flipping various cities' "downtown' commercial real estate into additional consumer real estate are starting to look really interesting, especially in some of the cities that had massive corporate tower investments just pre-2020. It's also where you see some cities directly and indirectly pressuring major corporations into RTO policies in the hopes of it releasing some of the pressure on the consumer real estate market in those cities by encouraging hedge funds to reinvest in corporate real estate. It's hard not to feel those pressures are somewhat futile long term, but to feel sympathy for why they seem like necessary short term sandbagging projects.)
We are. Slowly, due to lots of legacy, but surely getting there.

See the small steps over the years where it was first an add-on to force https-only mode (HttpsEverywhere, 2011), then browsers started showing insecure symbols for http connections (e.g. in 2019: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/10/15/improved-securi...), and more recently I think browsers are starting to try https before http when you don't specify the protocol. I've also seen a mention of strict https mode or something, not sure if that's a private navigation feature or something yet to come, but warning screens equivalent to insecure certificate pages are getting there

The roboform password manager used datetime value as the seed of the pseudorandom generator, meaning that it would always generate the same password if the system clock time was the same. They managed to crack the wallet by reverse engineering the password manager and feeding its pseudonumber generator all datetime values between certain dates that were thought to be near the time when the original wallet owner had generated the password.

It all did die because of Java, or at least went into hibernation.

Common Lisp, true or not, was known as an AI language and died because it was attached to the AI winter.

C++ was killed by Java for a lot of business software, including at my company. It won what I call the 80/20 battle, meaning it gave you 80% of what the old technology gave you for 20% of the hassle. You still had OO, but didn’t have to worry about pass by reference vs. pass by value, interfaces got you out of the multiple inheritance diamond problem, and garbage collection of course.
Do you think if your application server was in Common Lisp or Perl that it would have sold for a lot?
