When Twitter first rolled out their paid API tiers my company tried to reason with their sales reps that charging us for the privilege of letting our users share their content with Twitter was absurd considering Twitter was the one gaining more from the interaction than us. They wouldn't budge and asked us for I think $300K/month because of our high volume. "Lol, no" was a very easy answer.
Speaking as the author, I completely agree. The DEP provides both a shared API for existing libraries, but also the foundations for native background workers in Django - and it's going to be great!

One of the main points the article makes is that Bowlero spends the "ton of money" on superfluous additions (giant TVs, bars selling expensive drinks, etc) while forcing centers to operate with skeleton crews and cutting back on necessary maintenance. Bathrooms go days without being cleaned, there's no mechanics on staff to fix lanes that break down, and yet they keep raising prices. To me this doesn't seem like a good thing for the bowling community.

I've had this theory for a while now, and it seems to be playing out. The future of the internet is going to be behind a paywall.

The old internet as we know it, the free one, will be a cesspool of ads, spam, and scams. A deserted wasteland no one goes to.

Internet connected devices, (especially for kids) will only connect to whitelisted, paid sites.

Perhaps we'll look back and remember the innocence we used to have about the old, open internet.
Restaurants are thin margin business because wages for consumers haven't risen either, even as boardmember payouts have skyrocketed.
For me it's the food.

Norway is a beautiful country. I love cold weather and grey skies but all that fish stuff is not for me.
Yea, they found one in Sweden last year, but this one is much bigger. Also two entirely different deposits. The one in Sweden is right at its northern border, and this one is in the southern part of Norway.
It seems like the program has some issues to iron out, but the general concept is really compelling. Being able to group both the supply and demand side of delivery systems could make it really efficient. When you increase driver productivity like that it should leave room to increase their wages, so hopefully that happens here.

It would be great to see programs like this in the US. The closest I can think of is MealPal, where they simplify logistics by having each restaurant only focus on 1-2 dishes so they can churn them out incredibly quickly. I know Marc Lore's Wonder is also trying something similar with ghost kitchens, but don't know much of the details. Being able to serve more people with the same store space also cuts down on the fixed costs/person. I enjoy cooking, but it is hugely inefficient for everyone to do it for themselves at a civilizational level. If we could make healthy restaurants cost competitive with home cooking, it would probably equate to trillions in saved time.
I know that some people were able to successfully get through to a human/support at Google via HN.

Part of me thinks “ragebait” is a systematic effort by enemy nations to undermine nationality in the US, and drive up discontent. A sort of psy-ops program to break down the mood and will of an entire country by constantly sowing seeds of discontent into its population.

I’m sure there’s prior art to this kind of thing but it just feels like a hunch at this point.
I believe insurance company profit is limited as a percentage of their revenues by the ACA. That's why some people get checks from their health insurance provider; the provider collected too much in premiums, and was left with more than their allowed profit.

They want you to use the insurance, so they can raise premiums and that % profit they're allowed to have is a larger absolute dollar amount.
It is a big political trend on reddit, mostly it is about American progressives fantasizing about European cities, while having no idea how car centric all of Europe is or the actual causes of the problems they perceive.

Just as a hint, Europeans love their cars as well. They drive them a lot and outside of large cities public infrastructure is sparse at best and almost never an actually viable alternative.

This reminds me of a time I was at a company using a BI tool for dashboarding. The numbers weren't making much sense to me, so I looked at the query building tool. I couldn't tell for the life of me if a part of the query was doing an inner join or left join. The business analyst who built the dashboard had no idea either.

It turned out that it was doing a left join when the intent was an inner join, and the data being shown was an order of magnitude higher than it should have been. This is when I lost all faith in these kinds of abstraction layers on top of SQL targeting people who don't actually know SQL.

this is bullshit, cars kill and injure orders of magnitude more people in Europe than scooters do. That's not to say there's 0 issues with scooters, because there are, but focus should remain on cars, not scooters.

This looks really neat, although I'm still wrapping my head around it! It's funny how things that are even more fundamentally simple than what has been discovered, can be (initially) harder to reason about!

So you could presumably also write a Lisp interpreter AND a Forth interpreter using it?

(Might as well write a Turing machine interpreter too for the trifecta... assuming one can decide on the syntax...)

That plus some additional functionality to make it more usable in the general sense (adding math functions, string manipulation, maybe some basic I/O) and it might be a VERY interesting instructional tool.

I've heard the term "thunk" but I forget what it means...

While I was born after 9/11, I'm think I've heard that these unprecedented powers were given to CBP (and other border agencies around the world) after that event.

Most people crossing any border face little friction like this, but when you dig in and see what border agents are allowed to do, it gets a bit unnerving. Especially so for the US, the self-proclaimed land of the free.

Consider this - the CBP is granted wide-reaching powers that can supersede what actual police are allowed to do. They're allowed to racially profile, discriminate, search or detain anyone for any reason - citizen or not. Search warrants aren't required. Punishments like refusing foreigners entry for no reason or marking citizens to be additionally screened for the rest of their life can't be contested and are absolute. They are insulated from being sued, and may not need to follow Freedom of Information requests (not sure if this was reverted or not). They can do any of this within 100 miles of any external US borders - a.k.a. most major cities in the country. You don't actually need to be crossing or have crossed a border to be held up. Freedom!

The more you read into it, the more it seems that the federal US government has written a black check in terms of what some people are allowed to do. In the vast majority of cases, border guards are reasonable and don't overstep any boundaries - but I'm confused at why Americans, with the culture of valuing individual freedoms over all, aren't concerned with the hypothetical consequences these powers provide.
Actually Elon's politics aren't really the reason I hate him. The main reason I started hating him was calling a guy a pedophile because he didn't want to use Elon's stupid submarine in a cave rescue, but I also think that Elon is potentially complicit in some crypto pump and dump.

I have no direct proof of the latter, other than I think it was a little weird that he suddenly was fully onboard with Dogecoin until he wasn't very shortly after.
That’s a pretty uncharitable interpretation of the book’s main idea, which is better stated that you should seek to invent something entirely new that is a defacto monopoly, rather than engage in competition with others doing the same (old) thing. His background in the hyper competitive world of law was the key connection point toward that realization. Basically, he says that ambitious people often end up competing against each other in law/consulting/finance etc. but they should invent something new instead.

What is the error message you’re getting? Or is it simply that the query will not finish? (Does it continue to run?)

Parquet files are compressed, and many analytic operations require more memory than the on disk size. When you don’t have enough ram DuckDb has to switch to out of core mode which is slower. (It’s the classic performance trade off)

8gb of ram is not enough usually to expect performance from analytic operations - I usually have minimum 16. My current instance is remote which has 256gb ram. I never run out of ram and DuckDb never fails and runs super fast.

Careful when talking about mineral resources. It's not a matter of throwing around textbook phrases about how common something is in the Earth's crust.

Mining is always, always, always about the economics. How concentrated; how accessible by road; how easy to extract; distance to refineries; cost of building and transporting people and supplies to the mine. Even, affect on prices once the mine starts delivering! A mine can deliver so much it deflates prices and drives itself out of business.

Lots of everything, everywhere. But to build a mine, you have to ask a mining engineer, and they measure if it's worth anybody's effort.
Don't blame every woe you ever saw on China as its modern these days in US, this is solely US government incompetence par excellence. I am pretty sure there must have been a competent bureaucrat yelling this left and right 2 decades ago but completely ignored or worse.

They could foresee it from lightyears ahead and compensate miners due to strategic resource and it would cost US literally nothing, you know in same vein as GM or Boeing were/are 'strategic' shitshows.

But they did nothing and let simple market force decide outcome. China didn't close US mines, US mine owners due to economical pressures and lack of support form US did.

You're right about the technicals, but I think its about the use cases. RP2040 is indeed one of its kind and is suddenly a great choice for so many projects, both hobby/educational and proffessional embedded devices. With its price vs possibilities it just covers soooo much when You know it's just one single chip version. To me, this is what tech progress is all about.
The journalists don't talk to each other, the PR agency that created the story sends it to multiple journalists.
It's safe to assume he's talking about the chip in both cases. You can connect either of them to a battery charger, camera, or nuclear reactor but all of those 'peripherals' are completely irrelevant to this comparison.
I'm not sure how things are in the C land, but if you write Rust take a look at this book [1], Embassy has a very good support for the RP2040.

I’m guessing that splitting the hardware between the face and the brick isn’t that simple and would require a lot of custom solutions.

If the headset were solely a display then it seems straightforward, but I don’t know what existing system could be used to transmit all of the various sensor data down to a brick, especially in a way that would enable quickly iterating on the sensor set. I’m not a hardware person though so if someone from hardware land could chime in on plausibility I would be curious to hear that perspective.

Once the sensor set is more locked in and/or the market is more proven I’m guessing they will go ahead and invest in a custom solution to split the face and the brick hardware.

It would for sure be an obvious win, I just think it’s probably not easy to do.

Actually under US rule of law you don’t just turn over things upon request.

Much like every other tech company you test the request.

Apple never does.
It's a mix of licensing and performance/stability. The licensing ensures that a company can implement their own IP and not have to contribute that back to the community as open source.

The performance/stability of FreeBSD is no joke, that's why, as mentioned previously, storage vendors like Isilon and Netapp choose FreeBSD as the base. They can contribute upstream when needed, but they don't have to provide any source for how their storage appliance software.

You can tell right away it’s not 4 because it would REQUIRE at least 4 signal layers which means 8 layers with dedicated ground planes.
As a sidebar, Keepass is so good that I don't understand why you wouldn't use it. 1password is bloated and annoying, Bitwarden is finnecky even when you do get it working, but Keepass Just Works.

Read the article, my friend. Then you'll see what is so magical about the random walk algorithm - namely, it is easier to implement then other tree evaluation algorithms!

Of course, you can use a number of algorithms to calculate the value, and if you beat me to the punch and it's correct, how about this I'll buy you a burger. But which specific algorithm are you proposing, and where is its pseudocode and correctness proof?

And is it simpler? If so I'll implement that instead of the random walk!

I picked the random walk algorithm because it is much easier to implement than any other game tree evaluation algorithm I know.
I see vet service prices have skyrocketed.

My wife caught a stray cat in the other house who we've been trying to gentle for most of a month. We've got a spare room we can use for this purpose for a while and we seem to be making progress at about the rate we'd expect but we don't know if we can get him to live in our house with the other cats or if he can share the barn with another cat or if we will release him or he will escape or ...

He's a Tom and we have to neuter him regardless and the issue got more urgency because he sprayed on a cable mess.

Calling up private practice vets I found that they want to see a cat for two visits (first to get bloodwork for anesthesia) and that each visit will cost about $400. I can't afford $800 for an animal whose fate is unknown and since he's not used to being handled I don't want to pack him into a box twice. (One time I can glove up and surprise him, the next time won't be so easy)

Turns out the Uni I work at has a clinic every month or so where I can get the neuter done free as a staff member but it involves waiting for an announcement on a Facebook page and signing up on a form which typically fills up in an hour. If it all works out I can get him done in about two weeks, a few days later than the private clinic could do the work.

I used to take my cats to get regular checkups 20 years ago but I've long fallen out of the habit because it's gotten too expensive : our other three cats are due on their rabies shots and we're taking them to a clinic open periodically at a store that offers low cost services.
Success Is Not Shameful
There's got to be an about:config entry that tells Firefox whether it's already displayed that tab, which, at worst, you could manually edit before starting. But, even if that were an acceptable solution, I couldn't find it with a quick search for "display", "update", or "tab", nor even find an up-to-date list of entries (I think that http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries is quite old).

EDIT: Actually, I know for sure that there's some preference that controls this, because I just updated and didn't see the new page; but I forget what it is. One suggestion I saw in https://superuser.com/a/1392487 was to change various addresses to non-existent pages; based on the names of their default values, `app.update.url.manual` might be a relevant one.

"The 'rare' in the name "rare earths" has more to do with the difficulty of separating of the individual elements than the scarcity of any of them. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanide

The lanthanide series of elements is interesting because the 4f levels that are getting filled are actually physically closer to the nucleus than the outer orbitals, so their chemical properties are very similar between elements. That also makes them hard to separate from one another.

Unless there is a special Norwegian process for this separation, I am not sure this announcement will mean much.

I think utility-scale solid-state molecular sensing is so vastly underhyped that you don't even know what I mean.

Sorry, I misread the "Ask HN" somehow as "Do you think utility-scale solid-state molecular sensing is so underhyped that time travellers would be baffled that only one startup on Earth, namely Molecular Reality Corporation, is explicitly working on it with any kind of consistent technical vision?"
