That wouldn't be on account of the tubes; tube filaments do not take minutes to heat up the cathodes.

Warm boots can save time by not repeating all the boostrapping steps. In a warm boot, you typically don't execute any power-on self-checks, for starters.
You can use conventional pre-commit[0] to validate that commit messages follow the convention and use only the types that the team agreed upon.

This still requires discipline to choose the "right" type and scope.

We built an internal system that grabs our git history. For each commit you either enter a release note or mark it as not customer facing. It’s worked pretty well so far: each developer runs through their list writing down something, and a technical writer follows up checking style and grammar. We have confidence that every commit was at least looked at.

We do monthly releases, and the level of effort has been under an hour each month per dev, which has been super worth it for us.
The mandatory 5 years warranty is scary perhaps.

Finally, someone offering a proper Danish keyboard. Denmark, Sweden and Norway have long been stymied with the low-effort that is the Nordic keyboard layout. The problem is if you are not familiar with keyboards, then the labels are supposed to help you, but they don't on the Nordic layouts, because it just show three different keymap's labels on some keys, but you don't know which belong to which.

I know Apple also offers a proper Danish keyboard, and I've seen some modern Thinkpads with proper Danish keyboards.

I normally use a US Intl keyboard, but whenever I see a Danish keyboard, I struggle to find the | key.

I strongly agree with this. You just don't have to worry if it's actually free software. You can use vim and emacs at home or at work. You don't need to suddenly pay for a professional license or risk getting into trouble. It's just easier to stick to free (as in freedom) software for this reason. You can do what you want, where you want, no nonsense.

Show HN: A new social giving platform
Picture this: you’re scrolling through your social media feed, feeling the usual blend of amusement and boredom until suddenly, a video catches your eye. It’s not just entertaining; it’s transformative. It inspires you, educates you, or maybe just brings a smile to your face when you needed it most. You’re filled with gratitude for the creator behind this masterpiece, but a simple “like” or “share” feels inadequate. You want to do more, to express your appreciation in a meaningful way. That’s where Public Gives sweeps in, offering a platform where your gratitude translates into real generosity on a global scale, tangible support for the creators who enrich your life.

> It's really hard to build a system for the cloud that can run on bare metal unless you make that a goal of the project

We see a trend today that many are using Kubernetes to build their platform, and that can run anywhere.

Unless you go all in on Lambdas and step functions, you are usually not that dependant on cloud (or K8s for that matter).

My workplace has simple services that are built as Docker images running on K8s, connects to Postgresql databases and sends messages using SQS. Only SQS is specific to AWS, and can be easily replaced with a different message queue (we are using Spring abstractions).

> Especially when it requires more head count.

Quote from the article:

"""The cloud was not able to make things easier to a point where we could measure any productivity gains,” he says, noting his operations team has always been about the same size."""

You still need an ops team once you scale up from a small startup and you don't necessarily end up with lower costs for the team itself. And if you take the added cost of the cloud infrastructure, it should in theory get harder to justify for companies as they grow. But I guess "Nobody ever got fired for choosing Cloud"
Having become accustomed to helping a friend fix old ham radio gear, 80 volts doesn't strike me as terribly dangerous.

In some of this stuff, over half of the power supplies output was dumped as heat in resistive divider networks just to bias things correctly and ensure operation. The filaments worked out to less than a fifth of the load in many cases.

Coming from a background of transistors and chips, it was wild to see so many 5 watt or more resistors in use.

That's simply not true. You're confusing how they're trained and what they do. They don't have some store of exactly how likely each word is (and it's worth stopping to think about what that would even mean) for every possible sentence.

If we’re starting going down this path, what if the flour also lie and mix in an unknown quantity of sesame? Should families have to devolve into living in a feudal pocket society?

I think it’s fair for the regulator to be hard on lying on food labels. That seems like a rather low bar for a functional modern society. As consumers, we can also ask companies to provide additional services. There’s nothing irresponsible or entitled in politely asking for accommodation from providers or empathy from peers.

And unless there’s an edit that I’m missing, the person you’re responding to explicitly expressed a desire rather than tried to claim a right.
Very interesting, I hope the (formerly) RStudio people read this. So they are giving up an IDE (RStudio) that was famous for far better graphics and plotting than the Python alternatives for a half-open third party solution where Posit is the sharecropper.

Yeah, right....
I would be more comfortable with separating these two ideas:

1. If NYC wants to bailout MTA and fund capital projects - they should pay from general budget/taxes/fares directly
2. if NYC wants to reduce driving - they should introduce CP indepedendently of MTA's capital improvements plan, and don't tie these revenues to MTA at all.

Start from a small charge like $1, then hike to $5, then $10, then $15 and observe change in motorist behavior and congestion observed.

Does anyone actually knows what metrics are used for measure "congestion" and what are expected change in said metric? Its all hand waving and wishful thinking wrapped in earth hugging religion.

MTA would have weird incentives, like they can break down trains to CBD, and force people to take Uber/cab to get to work and trigger congestion pricing tolls and watch $$$ going directly to MTA, while they are slowly doing "maintenance and repairs".

MTA must NOT be financially incentivized to cause transportation collapse and make $mln every time public transit is broken, and people are using cars.

Arguably, the incentive should be the opposite (via fares). The better MTA's service is - more passengers and more Fare revenue they receive. This is how a normal healthy transportation agency would finance their capital investments.
Yeah, I decked one out to what I would want and it came to over $3K.

Sprints. I much prefer Kanban because it's just a list of priorities. You pick a task from the top and keep working, and the PMs keep the list sorted.

I hate sprints. It really feels like they're forcing us to come up with rough deadlines for arbitrary work, then treat those deadlines like a contract. We're playing ourselves.

I also hate all the ceremony around planning sprints. I'd much rather have a constantly sorted backlog and let the manager types focus on keeping the top tickets clear and actionable.

"Prevent allergens" means a 100% certainty that there are no trace amounts. This would require clean-room conditions for the entire factory, deep cleaning everything (including the inside of machinery) between each batch, and doing similarly extreme things across the entire supply chain.

It is a consumption tax (on space taken up on roads, noise, and emissions basically combined), in effect it incentivizes consolidation of traffic, goods and people both, and steers some of it to other modalities.

Of course there's a long way to go before visible changes happen. the US is extremely car-dependent after all, and public transportation does not organically expand with more demand for it. and without alternatives people will just pay it.

but this doesn't necessarily make it a bad tax. other changes can build on it.

It is just as open source. If the source is available, you can open it in an editor. There you go: open source.

It's just not Open Source according to the OSI people who believe they own the term. They do not hold a trademark on the term.

https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8367/is-the-t...

The term "open" has been used as a weasel words in the industry before OSI and "open source".

Off the top of my head: "The Open Group", "Open Software Foundation", "X/Open", "Open Look", "OpenStep", "OpenGL", "OpenMax", "OpenType", ...

It's best to use more specific terms like "BSD licensed", "MIT licensed" or "Copyleft".

Or FOSS. "FOSS" is a thing because open source isn't necessarily free due to the conflation with source-available.

It provides a solid, accurate draft that can be expanded on when targeting non-technical users.

I've often found that lack of visibility leads to messy commits. Surfacing these messages in the changelog introduces an incentive to take more care.

With regards to the usefulness of the descriptions, the associated issue is often linked along with the commit message. This is often omitted in hand-written changelogs. In this case the auto-generated changelog acts as an index, allowing the reader to quickly parse what changed and jump to the associated code or ticket.
Incredible. The amount of effort that goes into each of those dots.
Ask HN: RSS Feed for HN Posts from Specific Site with Minimum Points
Is there an RSS feed that tracks Hacker News posts linking to a specific site (e.g. youtube.com), but only those that have reached a minimum number of points (e.g., 10 points). I found that hnrss.org can generate RSS feeds for specific domains, but it doesn't support filtering by points directly.

Does anyone know of an efficient way to achieve this
I find that easy to believe.

I have watched my friends with this kit demonstrate it to me, many times, and to me it seems clumsy and difficult and error-prone, as well as being expensive, vastly horribly insecure and not so much violating privacy as gang-raping it.

I do not understand why they like it or think it better.

The only friend I know with a valid use case is non-light-sensing blind. It's useful for him to just tell the room "turn the lights off" rather than hunt for the switch. Or ask if they're on.

2k Year Old Antikythera Mechanism Contains Evidence of a 354-Day Lunar Calendar [pdf]
Adding an allergen in quantities where it has no meaningful effect is attempting to flout a regulation. It's like bringing money into the country by spitting it among fellow travellers. In a functioning system the authorities would have the power to investigate and use discovery to identify cases where allergens are being added deliberately for no other reason than flouting rules. They should then be able to issue substantive fines to encourage actual compliance.

Its not like adding small amounts of an allergen is a victimless. Lots of people with moderate to serious allergies eat things every day which "may contain" their allergen.

IANAL, so I'm not gonna attempt to interpret it, but here's how it's phrased:

> Recordkeeping. Section 326 of the Act requires reasonable procedures for maintaining
records of the information used to verify a person's name, address, and other identifying
information. The proposed regulation sets forth recordkeeping procedures that must be included
in a bank's CIP. Under the proposal, a bank is required to maintain a record of the identifying
information provided by the customer. Where a bank relies upon a document to verify identity,
the bank must maintain a copy of the document that the bank relied on that clearly evidences the
type of document and any identifying information it may contain.6 The bank also must record
the methods and result of any additional measures undertaken to verify the identity of the
customer. Last, the bank must record the resolution of any discrepancy in the identifying
information obtained. The bank must retain all of these records for five years after the date the
account is closed.

I've tried that before, and I've not been able to find stickers that will last long (trust me, you'll have sweaty fingers from time to time). A better solution is to use a white permanent marker on the keys instead. It doesn't last, obviously, but it doesn't make it awkward to type, and you can just re-apply it as the keys lose their labels.

Scrum becomes the process that warps everything else about developing software at the organization. It is easily the strongest influence on how devs do their work day to day in most jobs I have had. And that influence is building quotas into every day, week, and sprint.

I have seen (and often done myself) all of the following X items to avoid Y consequences in Scrum.

- Not written unit tests to get a ticket merged under the sprint timeline. We eventually turned them off at one org as a hindrance to merging tickets. Seriously, our unit test runner failed and to keep the sprint on track we disabled the tests. And to keep the project on track, they were never repaired. Scrum demands the sprint always provide value and as value is only what is provided to the user, no tests.

- Inflated points totals and conspired with others to inflate points totals so management is convinced pace is improving.
I waited for my preferred and less diligent QA to be free to get a ticket done, so I am not interrogated holding up the burndown chart.

- Put unfinished functionality into the code as an error and merging it so that it would come back as a bug report, allowing the ticket size to be inflated for the same work.

- Skipping obscure edge cases found later if they would take more time, to avoid a lecture about the importance of detailed grooming. One job got to the point of specifying which files and functions needed to be changed for higher precision.

- Finished a task in the morning and then waited until the next day to pick up a new ticket because points is tied to days and you don't want the Scrum master asking why something is delayed in the burndown chart because you really only had half a day from when you assigned it to yourself.

The central failing of Scrum is that it is built on:

> Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage

And 1,3, and 5 in particular are either about different things for different people, or simply are absent because of the reality of a corporate hierarchy (i.e. it is always in your interest to suck up and seem reliable while hiding failures).
As someone who went through two of the touchbar macbook pros up until recently getting a M2, "on a mac level" is a pretty tricky metric these days. Apple were charging crazy prices for garbage quality machines for years.

A friend has a frame.work & I've trialed it a fair bit - combining his review with my hands on experiences I'd say it's not quite as nice as the new Ms nor up to the level of the old pre-2018 macbooks but it is very close, & certainly far better build quality than what Apple were churning out in those intervening years.
Manhattan residents are richer than outer boroughs.

It is true, that some rich motorists will pay up congestion pricing, but they wont even notice these charges cause they are rich (so NO EFFECT whatsoever on actual congestion). In fact, that's exactly what MTA wants - they want congestion pricing Revenue, not reduction in congestion loss in revenue.

But the most impacted would be workers who rely on car to make a living: uber, lyft, doordash, blue collar contractors, food delivery trucks, etc. Everyone who has to drive to make a living will be taxed, while rich Manhattan residents will enjoy subsidies from the working class. and they cannot take public transit, so no reduction in actual congestion either.

it's all farce and show to steal money from honest working people and have over it to corrupted union bosses at MTA

> I would expect the quality to be on mac level if i would pay this price for a laptop

I'm not sure if the quality is "on the mac level" (I've heard conflicting things, like I have for Macs), but the repairability and upgradeability are a million times better. That means that you can buy the 8GB RAM version, and upgrade later if needed; you don't have to shell out 500euros more just to not have a useless device in a year or two.
The moment you want to upgrade it, or have a broken part out of warranty it's infinitely better. You can not only get actual parts for it there are repair guides endorsed by the manufacturer.
Personally I just use a US layout with alt gr for æøå. The Norwegian layout is very awkward for C style languages(and the unix shell), I find. The US one feels more natural, which makes sense considering the modern US layout is very similar to the layout of the teletypes used at bell labs in the 70s.

Took a while to get used to it, but only a month or so to be just as fast as I was previously on the Norwegian one.
