> Atomic commits can be great. I really prefer to see intentional atomic commits with meaningful messages than 20+ files changed with a commit message: "Feature X".

The most valuable “feature” of git for me is the “single commit with 20+ files changes”. I explain: I have landed in a new codebase, and now I need to add a new feature that would include perhaps a migration and adding a “usecase” and perhaps a “controller” and the corresponding tests. As usual, things are never clear in new codebases (depending on the library/framework used, one might need to add routes to a main routing file, or perhaps touch some configuration yaml file to whitelist the newly introduced endpoint, or perhaps a changelog needs to be kept updated whenever a migration is introduced, etc.). My point is: if I can git blame a line of code of the codebase that’s doing already more or less what I want to introduce, I want to see ALL the files that were touched as part of that change. It’s a lifesaver.
Made a “lot” of money (for a teenager) installing cd rom drives into computers in the 90s. The article isn’t lying - everyone I knew was buying them circa 1994 with no idea how to install them. I remember the first high speed one I installed… vibrated the entire desk. Now I’m buying them for $12 shipped off eBay and using usb to power them. Only purpose is burnt games for old consoles.
It doesn't help them at all unless Meta also goes there.

I use optical discs sometimes, including for backups (I think the use of WORM media for making backup copies is beneficial).

There is also benefit of locally stored data. You can store them in hard drive, although sometimes external media can be helpful too, rather than needing to use internet for any transfers.
There are "apartments" (bedroom and living room with a mini-kitchen) built for short stays, I've stayed in on in Toronto (Vaughan area), but they seem to be more common in Berlin and other European cities where i have stayed in them as well.

The Toronto one was likely more expensive than an AirBnb, but in Berlin i don't remember it being that expensive.

Finding these places is a pain however, there is no universal name. Ive seen "Aparthotel" used a few times in Europe. Other times it is just "XXX Apartments" or "Residence" and you have to guess if they are for short-stay.

Sites like booking.com mix in people renting out their own property with these purpose built short stay locations which doesn't help discovery.
I need help validating my startup idea
Hi everyone! So I have a startup marketplace where people post property for rent but you can click to send someone to view the property for you ie photos, videos, written summry, and facetime. Everyone loves the idea but getting past 10 customers has been difficult
no, they are really more expensive.
Assuming your stats hold up then it would seem like politicians are being politicians and blaming someone else for a housing shortage rather than actually directly addressing the issue. It’s easy to distract regular folks by making them angry at Air BnB instead of just working on real solutions.
How about this. Humanity can only offer the best once. Because we will have spent the sum total of human output delivering the first one.
Waymo has been pretty clear about this: they do have remote navigators/coaches who tell the cars what to do if it gets stuck/confused, but they're not directly driving the car, they're telling it where to go, like a navigator in the front passenger seat.

Remote operation is considered dangerous due to possible issues with network connection latency or stability. If it was actually happening, Waymo is big enough now (IIRC they said 50,000 paid rides each week) to where someone would've leaked such a secret.
As someone who grew up in cow country, I would always hear about cow tipping from people who didn't know anything about cows. The story would almost always go like this:

Some Dude: We went cow tipping last night, it was hilarious

Me: So, you actually tipped a 1300 lbs cow over?

Some Dude: Well...I didn't, but Jake did.

Me: So you saw Jake tip a cow over?

Some Dude: Well...no, but Jake told me that he did it and I believed him.
There are many ways to go about it. Standard way recommended with libsoccr (the criu library to handle tcp socket checkpoint/restore) is to install a firewall rule to filter packets during checkpoint and let tcp resend whatever it needs to resync whenever the socket is restored.

If you want your original process to continue living after the checkpoint and not lose packets during checkpoint, you can go a pretty long way with the 'plug' tc, IFBs. And if you're aventurous, lots of support for getsockopt/setsockopt and ioctls have been or are being merged within io_uring so checkpointing a big-buffered TCP socket can cost under 100us, even less IIRC.
Not sure how the entire npm/react/SPA ecosystem can be described as stable when it's so many moving parts that it's almost a running joke. Latest I've seen is going full circle into the server-side again and some kind of a compiler?

> I could say the same about my experience with UI frameworks. It's not a scary problem, it's not particularly time-consuming

SPA UI frameworks are not particularly time-consuming? Then we have very different views on productivity.

Being "proactive" is not rational if you're paying a higher price each day in additional complexity to possibly, maybe, avoid having to small cost later. When and if you get there you've already paid 100x the cost compared to just taking the one-time cost when it actually arrived.
> Monotonic-only improvement is the path to getting trapped. Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

The evolution disagrees.
Eh, because of the viewer's contrast sensitivity function scaling in linear space can give worse looking results. I'd say there are four reasons that processing is so often in a non-linear space:

1. Since our 'raw' formats are non-linear, processing in that space is what happens when you don't know otherwise.

2. It's much more computationally efficient to not convert into linear and back out again.

3. Given the low bitdepth of our image data, going in and out of linear space and doing even minimal processing can easily produce banding artifacts in smooth areas.

4. Due to the human CSF scaling in e.g. sRGB can give results that preserve the apparent structure in the image better, while a linear scale can look bad by comparison. sRGB levels also more correctly represent perceived levels, so thresholds based on sRGB ratios will work more consistently across brightness levels.

I'm sure plenty of people have seen internet comments about linear processing, went and implemented and found the results looked worse for reasons they didn't understand and abandoned it (and plenty of others who didn't notice it looked worse and crapped up their code without knowing it. :) )
I'll add what should be obvious to any seasoned git user: rebase is only possible for "private" commits. If the commits were published, then merge is the only solution, because otherwise with a rebase you will "change (git) history" and break people's repos that have yours as upstream.

I recommend reading this 2008 exchange between top Linux developers learning to use git, and Torvalds's... characteristic language when talking about rebasing a "public" repo:

https://www.yarchive.net/comp/linux/git_rebase.html

(I'm putting "private" and "public" in quotes because they're really on a spectrum)
Yeah, but a software solution would be better and actually easy to implement.
I thought this was going to be about those people with colored glasses and ultra off-putting psychedelic sneakers (often matching) that turn up overcaffeinated with gelled hair as stage-dwelling experts, or multi-day workshopping nothing in particular with ramp-in/ramp-out platitudes and zero content. What do you call those? Innovation consultants?
We nowadays have trains that can go uphill.
If your EID card has a photo on it, it has biometrics. The biometrics are the photo and fingerprints (if your country required them). The fingerprints are not accessible to terminals without a government certificate on them, but the photo can be read trivially. You can download one of many apps (ReadID or Regula Forensics are good options) to see what's on the card.

The standard is ICAO 8303 for how the data structures work. It's the same as ePassports. EU cards implement EAC for the fingerprints, which has a whole mutual auth PKI system.

Show HN: I made a demo for my project management tool
Hey Hackers,
Last time I posted alot of the comments were asking about the posibility for a demo and maybe more reasoning on why someone should use the service. I have tried to implement some more things into the basic tier so that out of the box, the service is more unique with its use of AI. Anyway, there is now some new AI features as well and I've improved the existing features to ensure they have the right level of accuracy and creativity.
Enjoy,
Dan
> So you shouldn't say "electron is negative". That's weird, confusing, misleading, and trolling.

Huh? By the convention you describe (and we all share), electrons have negative charge, since -1 is negative. When speaking in the shared and understood context of charge, you shorten that to saying electrons are negative.

Nothing weird, confusing, or misleading, and certainly not trolling. I'm baffled where you get that from.

What do you do with the commits that are “incomplete”?

I frequently get halfway through building something, but the. A more urgent project comes up and i need to commit my half-done non-functional work so I can hop onto a different branch
Another benefit of not squashing is it encourages devs to think about their commits and is a great opportunity to document what you are doing when they are doing it. If you are squashing 10 commits with junk commit messages (because devs know there is little value in having meaningful commits in what will be a squashed branch), trying to summarize all the changes into a meaningful commit message is hard. It can be valuable to see the intention of atomic commits in git history. The squash branch on merge strategy is just lazy and is counterproductive to having meaningful git history.
> - Somehow reviewers never seem to like the stack of PRs, my experience is they always react with disdain and/or confusion.

Are people sending multiple branches of the stack for review at once? It should only ever be the "bottom" branch out-for-review at any time.

> - Namely there would be review comments on the first PRs that then cause a cascade of merge conflicts in the follow-on PRs

This can still happen in the model above of course as you need to make changes to the bottom branch in response to review comments/requests.

However, as I noted elsewhere, `--update-refs` is an absolute god-send in those situations: https://andrewlock.net/working-with-stacked-branches-in-git-...

It reduces a ton of manual work (scaled by how many branches you have stacked!) to one operation.
Isn't it fairly obvious from history that you and the Renaissance-era colonizers calculate morality differently? You speak of things that should not be, but nonetheless were. The success of colonialism to the colonizers is obvious. Natives of the New World were regarded as primitives, non-believers, less than human. We see the actions of the European powers as abhorrent now, but 500 years ago they simply did not see things the way we do, and they acted accordingly.
Prrivacy is important. I kept using my Blackberry Z30 long after its demise had been signalled. I then moved to SailfishOS on a Sony XA2+, which I ran with until late 2023. Unfortunately as I get older, larger phones become less usable, and the full Sailfish experience isn't available on any truly small phones. So ... after a lot of research and with my fingers and toes crossed, I bought a Jelly Star from UniHertz and flashed it with LineageOS without Google.

It's been a revelation. The phone is superfast and very capable. Any concerns about the three inch screen size were quickly erased, and I have the convenience of a phone that fits in any pocket. Flashing a Google-less OS and using non-Google apps and services has been a good fit with the Linux environments I run everywhere else.
As someone in the "merge-only" camp, for me it simply boils down to I don't think rebasing solves anything I view as a problem and as such I just don't care to know anything about it. You can rebase if you want, but don't bother trying to talk to me about it.
> It seems to me that you’ve got it in your head

Do us all a favour and never again keep assumptions in your head: your misunderstanding was beyond scale. Do not guess.

Back to the discussion from the origin: a poster defends the idea that the purpose of AI would be in enabling leisure and possibly sport (through alleviating menial tasks) - not in producing cultural output. He was replied first that cultural output having value, it is welcome from all sources (provided the Value is real), and second that the needs are beyond menial tasks, given that we have a large deficit in proper thought and proper judgement.

The literal sentence was «yes, if algorithms strict or loose could one day produce Art, and Thought, and Judgement, of Superior quality: very welcome», which refers to the future, so it cannot be interpreted in the possibility being available now.

You have brought LLMs to the topic when LLMs are irrelevant (and you have stated that you «personify[] them»!). LLMs have nothing to do with this branch of discussion.

You see things that are said as «vague», and miss definitions for things: but we have instead very clear ideas. We just do not bring the textual explosion of all those ideas in our posts.

Now: you have a world in front of you; of that world you create a mental model; the mental model can have a formal representation; details of that model can be insightful to the truthful prosecution of the model itself: that is Art or Thought or Judgement according to different qualities of said detail; the truthful prosecution of the model has Value and is Important - it has, if only given the cost of the consequences of actions under inaccurate models.
In doing so you may introduce banding artifacts by destroying the existing dithering in smooth areas of images.

You could re-dither the output, but the required amount of dither to eliminate banding artifacts is great enough to be obvious and often annoying.
Sounds like a "sale and lease back"
Up and down are opposites on the other side of the world too...
Maybe not. I scanned a bluetooth aux transceiver yesterday as a test of how well a flatbed can pick up details. There's a bunch of these on the market and the cheap ones, they are more or less equivalent. It's a CSR 8365 based device, which you can read from the scan. The industry is generally convergent on the major design decisions for some hardware purpose for some given time period.

And the devices, in this case, bluetooth aux transceivers, they all do the same things. They've even more or less converged on all being 3 buttons. When optimizing for cost reduction with the commodity chips that everyone is using to do the same things, the manufacturer variation isn't that vast.

In the same way you can get 3d models from 2d photos because you can identify the object based on a database of samples and then guess the 3d contours, the hypothesis to test is whether with enough scans and schematics, a sufficiently large statistical model will be good enough to make decent guesses.

If you've got say 40 devices with 80% of the same chips doing the same things for the same purpose, a 41st device might have lots of guessable things that you can't necessarily capture on a cheap flatbed

This will probably work but it's a couple million away from becoming a reality. There's shortcuts that might make this a couple $100,000s project (essentially data contracts with bespoke chip printers) but I'd have to make those connections. And even then, it's just a hobbyist product. The chances of recouping that investment is probably zero although the tech would certainly be cool and useful. Just not "I'll pay you money" level useful.
My bad. I was thinking A, B, and C were integers.
Packing rectangular chips onto circles has waste, but that waste cannot be recycled. It has been processed through a lot of different steps that contaminate it. I'm not sure if it gets recycled, but it's going to be a lot harder to recycle than large chunks of pure silicon.

By this logic public transportation should be the cleanest of them all. But, it is unfortunately far from that.
The cost of cleaning goes way down when you do it in bulk at a service center rather than individual lyft/uber drivers trying to do it. A standardized car also helps.
Ranting is easy. It's nice to vent once in a while, but then what? All that remains is that the author is fed up with tools that don't solve his problems. Ok?

The key difference between the web and any other type of development, is that you can distribute almost any type of application with the push of a button to billions of people, without the need to install anything. This is a superpower which _ofcourse_ comes with some complexity. Sometimes when you don't need that superpower and you have to navigate the complexity anyways it will be a frustrating experience, but that doesn't mean there is something fundamentally wrong or anything.

Absolutely. Classifying the number of heat wave days, or cold front days across time would be the type of visualization that's needed. Or the spread in the rainy season.

My intuition is that the uncertainty in variance is much higher than the uncertainty in the average. So, it's more difficult to make concrete predictions that we are reasonably sure will pan out.
I think you may be projecting, because you are acting a bit like a keyboard warrior — telling others to see therapists. Consider that other people have different views, that is all. To some, the cause (principle/life goal) of exploring where others have not gone is enough.

Thanks! If the arrival (Y) is a specific location, the return flight is guaranteed to be Y->X.

However, if Y is a country, region, or continent, the return flight could be from any airport within that area, prioritizing the cheapest option. For example, if you search for a round trip: "Berlin to Asia for a week in Aug" the arrival could be Bangkok, but the departure for your return flight could be from Singapore.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if it would be better to enforce return_from_same_city or allow the user to toggle this option. What do you think?

EU residents will get all of the other iOS 18 features but not Apple Intelligence and a couple of others. The average EU citizen won't even know anything is missing.

Well look at a map of Barcelona. Hotels are in the middle of residential areas throughout the city. Not sure what the permitting process has to do with any of this. Hotels take up land. Land that could be used for residential housing. Permitting can be changed by law (same as banning AirBnbs).

Privately operated public transport (e.g. jitneys and ferries) frequently are when positioned at a premium, as Waymo is.
