Haha. Not a huge fan of spiders, if I see one in my home I’ll catch him and put him outside.

Idk why but I feel really bad for critters. I’m in SF next to a park.

Every morning on my walk if I see a pill bug, a worm or caterpillar, or some other critter on the side walk I’ll grab a leaf and put them back in the park. Don’t want them to get squished :(

Back to spiders tho. I had jumping spiders in my last apartment. Had a really pretty patterned one in my office that would turn and face me whenever I moved. It lived in my blinds for a few weeks and then I never saw it again :(

Had some pet silverfish too. I have a TON of moleskines and I’d feed them old pages.

Sorry I’m probably weird for loving all these little “pests” but I find them really wonderful.
Can you tell more about it? I never tried to implement it myself, but when I quickly skimmed over relevant info, I didn't find anything particular hard about it. Just some web APIs and some simple crypto (which probably further abstracted in the libraries, but you can use crypto primitives directly if you want).

Doesn't look harder than proper password implementation with hashing, salting, etc.
Great effort! Feels like you should be charging for this, maybe a Pro Plan with SSO (user edits integrated into your history logs) and 1 year support for SMEs to self-host.
Show HN: Tab vs. Space, vote for your empty space
Hello guys. I built a simple voting app Tab vs Space.

I am using turso.tech (libsql) and Nuxt 3. I was planning to use websocket but it's just too complicated and just went with long-polling every 5 seconds to get the data and deploy it to cloudflare pages/worker.

There is no need to login and also no IP tracking. I use installation id and save it to cookies, so basically you can clear cookies to get a new installation id. I don't know a better way to get unique user without being "intrusive" but if you have a better idea please do give one.

You can check the source code here https://github.com/yunusefendi52/tab-vs-space

Thank you

?

They had $10b+ in equity to work with and had ample opportunity to capture ZIRP if they wanted.

Anything inhibiting Shaw’s ability to raise capital was its dual class structure where the Shaw family retained control despite owning a minority of the shares.

It could be something regional. For instance Wisconsin has Quik Trip gas stations, which tend to have fairly large convenience stores, some with fresh groceries.
This is what the DMCA safe harbor policy was meant to deal with. Hosts are not held liable for user content if they respond to a DMCA takedown notice in a timely manner. The other half of the system is that users are supposed to be able to submit a counter notice to have content immediately restored without judicial intervention. At that point the host is immune from litigation and the original party can seek remediation in the court system.

YouTube doesn't provide an implementation of the second half of the DMCA process because they have a side deal with big media to manage royalties in exchange for a system biased in their favor.
You should definitely read that again.

Hate to rain on your parade, but linkers already do this as a built in feature. For example, binutils can embed a binary file and it shows up as a symbol.
Anecdotal, but from a friend (not wealthy) who lived near Jackson as a young adult the largest, most extravagant homes would not be considered vacant. He interacted with caretakers that lived permanently in one of the homes. This is especially important in the winter because temperatures can be so harsh in the Jackson / Teton / Yellowstone area. It was worth it to the owners to avoid any risk of a water pipe bursting. Apparently the caretakers told him utility costs alone for the McMansion were over $5,000 a month.

So clearly vacancy taxes can be gamed after a certain point of wealth. But I think they still would be effective at reducing the number of vacant properties because the bar to hire employees to exclusively live at your property to care for it is so high.

Incidentally my friend’s experiences in Jackson were influential in shifting him away from the libertarian mindset his parents raised him with. The realities of observing the wealth gap really troubled him.
Ugh, yeah, that's a bug with Mapbox itself.

There was a recent (August 2023) The Studies Show episode[1] on WHO's cancer list. It goes in to why these lists are incredibly misleading.

My own mother died of Ovarian Cancer at age 40 and used talc. I'm not confidence for a second there is sufficient evidence to even hint at causality.

Outages are inevitable, but the Rogers outage in 2022 had some devastating consequences.

Route leaks can happen to anyone, but the fact that it brought down their entire network, including voice and internet services, across all provinces, was unacceptable.

What's even more concerning is that they had no out-of-band access, which meant no management access to their network. This explains why the outage lasted a whopping 24 hours.

In my opinion, the lack of OOB was the most critical and yet the most preventable. Proper OOB is a must; I wouldn't operate a network without it, I don't understand why Rogers thought that was acceptable.
Yup. The quality and price for food was shocking, especially compared to the US.
How to implement a hash table in C (2021)
> 1000X for what gain?

A stepping stone to the 1000000X gain that would make it possible for Windows and Office to emulate the mind of a Microsoft sales executive so it can value extract from the user optimally and autonomously. Also with memory safe code because Microsoft fired all the testers to save money. And so they can hire people who can't write in C or C++ to save money. And ship faster to save money.
> OK but if that’s the case, how come other countries — Germany, Korea, France, etc. — have managed to increase their manufacturing productivity over the past 13 years? One possibility is that they’re just catching up to the U.S. and Japan, which were the leaders in manufacturing productivity back in the early 1990s. I can’t find a great data set comparing absolute levels of manufacturing productivity across countries over time, but I’ll keep looking.

This is what I wanted to see as I was reading through the whole article. Everything was about the change in growth, but I wanted to know, in absolute terms, the ranking of countries in manufacturing productivity.

Now, I don't really think the US has hit some sort of maximum in productivity, and the growth we see in other countries is just laggards catching up to us. But it's something that needs to be examined, too.

The numbers for Total Factor Productivity presented at the end may shed some light on this, but, as the author admits, the numbers presented might not be trustworthy, and, regardless, it would still be useful to see how it breaks down.

Are you claiming that people wear medical face masks for the sake of privacy? I have literally never heard a single person say a single thing about that. However, I’m finding I’m out of touch with “the kids” these days so maybe this is a thing. I’d love to hear more about it.

Fantastic feedback, thanks! Yeah, I am still figuring things out and your response gives me some perspective of how the videos might be used as well.

Regarding rendering time: 20s at 4k60 takes around 6 minutes. There is, highly likely, a way to make this more performant but it's not on the priority list at this moment.

As user pmdfgy mentioned, outdoor events is exactly the market I am focusing right now: Marathons, bike or trails races. Most of them have a simple map of their race, if at all, and when it comes to more extreme races like running or cycling in the mountains I'd like to see a preview of what I am getting into as a participant.

One of my first users, the Vietnam Mountain Trail Series, uses it to visualize their races like the Vietnam Mountain Marathon. They've put it on their YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5GMPNfEDbU

> One serious issue with that is that injected sulfides do not stay around long.

To me, this is one of the best features! Because if, by some unforeseen anomaly, it turns out to actually have bad net effects, you can just wait 1-2 years, and it goes away by itself!

The reality is that even if we stop CO₂ emissions cold today, CO₂ levels will stay the same, not go back to preindustrial levels for at least several centuries.

So the best practical plan I know is this:

- Learn how to spray SO₂ in the stratosphere so it cools down Earth to desirable levels.

- Figure out large scale CO₂ sequestration, to bring CO₂ levels back down. My guess is this takes ~50 years.

- As CO₂ levels go down, we can tamper down the SO₂ injections, and get the planet back to a healthy state.
So shouldn't this be the "0-episode"? ;-)

(0, because only after the first question, we have actually 1 episode performed. Consequently, the 1-episode is then the second one.)
The only reason for any of this is because Apple claims the App Store is worth 30% of all revenue for all products that run on their hardware.

So developers aren't using their store anymore in locales that aren't continuing to let Apple run such a monopoly.

Sometimes people gotta jerk, and that leaves only one hand free, which means. Mouse for interaction, Obviously.

But more seriously - FF isn't vim and no I'm not installing vim keybindings.
And I do use the keyboard a lot (I've had to teach coworkers the tips for tab navigation for example), when in "type/entry" mode (oh maybe VIM is the right metaphor hmm).

Anyways, sometimes you're just chilling with a few tabs and wanna pop back and forth between a few, and not be in type mode... So mouse it is. And if you're using mouse and hand off the keyboard it's far easier to just use the right click (I've only started doing this the past year or two... likewise I've taken to right click, back from the popup menu instead of dragging mouse across to the back arrow. (but if on keyboard yeah I alt-arrow it).

What i love is how everyone just demands everyone use the interface the exact same way for all purposes and times.

I do get frustrated at my roomie who won't just do it my way, when I ask her to search for something or I'm trying to help with something technical and she's in control of her laptop... though, and in those times I'm 100% right and legit. That's the only exception to my paragraph above.

I'm pretty sure that merely tab-switching hasn't fixed it for me. I've done both mouse and alt-tab, i've ctrl-w'd the tab and ctrl-shift-T'd it. I've opened the same site in a new tab and it still wouldn't work. I've had to completely shut the browser down. Maybe it's different between Windows and Linux, perhaps (I'm using Windows for this).

Maybe there's more than one cause, but the reason I hate this bug so much is because simple fixes like just alt-tabbing or even closing and re-opening or full-reload doesn't work. I'm like 99% certain that's the case. I'll have to verify next time this happens. It seems to happen at least a couple times a month.

There's nothing complicated about otpauth provisioning URIs i.e. what's encoded into the QR code.

I also incline to the view that experience is fundamental, but I'm not really sure that you mean by the term "information system". Who is deciding what counts as information? In everyday usage we usually speak of something containing information if it helps a person decide how to act. Perhaps agency is one of these "certain" properties that these special information systems need to possess. There does seem to be a lot of overlap between things that we grant the assumption of consciousness to and things that we grant some form of agency to.

Gawd, I can't wait[1] for this to be fixed. It's been annoying the %*^@ out of me for a couple of months now. The only saving grace is that Ctrl+C still works, but it's still frustrating as hell. :-(

I have places where I wish the Firefox crew approached certain things differently, and I've criticized them for not being responsive to the community in the past.

Logically possible just means there's no contradiction in accepting something as true. Usually it's used in the context of reasoning about what could have been true about the world. If some features of the world are varied, what else has to change to maintain consistency?

And sure, plenty of people argue that conceivability is a weak guide to possibility due to our limited knowledge, being imperfect reasoners, etc. That's a fair critique.

>either p-zombies or consciousness requires attributes to our reality that are beyond our current physical understanding.

To be clear, the impossibility of p-zombies implies that there is some as yet unidentified logical/semantic relationship between physical dynamics and consciousness. This would mean that there is no possible world where the physical dynamics is true but there is no consciousness. The possibility of p-zombies supports the idea that there is some further (non-logical) property of the world that supports consciousness. But such a property could have been false in a world very much like our own; one with all the same physical dynamics just without any consciousness. The p-zombie argument is used to raise the credence of there being a further fact about the world that supports consciousness.
