I've been using javascript since it was invented. I don't like typescript.
I'm certain that nearly most, if not all users on hacker news have a pretty solid mental model of the basics of how internet connection works, and the responsibilities between the computer or device, wifi, home router, ISP, and internet web sites or other services.

But I've assisted people who's mental model is simply "Verizon put this box in my home and now I have internet". Who panic when a site doesn't load, and will call the first person they think is responsible for the problem. (typically, the company that gave them internet). Or more commonly nowadays, "my phone is my internet connection" -- and the only thing they think they have the power to do is to wave the phone in the air to find 'more bars'.

I suppose it makes sense from Verizon's (or any ISPs) perspective, and honesty, if you understand how all this works, then you understand how to trivially eliminate the issue, and then of course, you know when and when not to call Verizon with problems. (Of course, it'd be awful nice if they offered 'Shibboleet' [1] service for folks who do undertsand when the problem is between the site and the router.) HOWEVER, it'd be nice if they were more upfront with the disclosure of this password sharing ...

In principle, that's something that could be allowed without giving access "to" Google/the site owner—even allowing the site author to provide their own functions for formatting and drawing the values—and thus could be allowed for _any_ website. Designing and implementing it is a fun technical problem, so it's a wonder why it wasn't, considering the motivations of a typical programmer (and those at Google especially).
So? Some companies in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden will get that money and they will train and employ people.

More expensive but they don't have to ask anybody to fly this thing. You can ask Ukrainians how shitty it is when your supplier doesn't let you do things.
you don't necessary need to be logged to a workstation to do all your work..

You could develop de code locally in your macbook in a nice interface, when you are ready to compile then you push the code to a remote git repo in your workstation that also would trigger the compile job, tests, etc..

Do the CPU light work locally and the CPU intense jobs remotely in a system that can have more powerful CPU proper to the task while also freeing your laptop from the burden this CPU intensive job that will make it hot and burn trough the battery..

but yeah, this workflow could work in whatever laptop\os you want, from a chromebook to a macbook..
Depends. I2C only takes two I/O pins.
I know in my state the cost of state universities has been rising at 10% per year for the past 30 years - reflecting the amount the Republican-majority state legislature has been defunding higher education. One of the universities moved to eliminate being a publicly funded university since so little money was being provided by the legislature. The legislature blocked that move effectively saying that they were founded as a public university and only the state legislature has the power to make them not a public university. Since the legislature provides a couple of dimes per year to the funding of the university, they have to jump to the tune of the state legislature. The compliance costs them more than the legislature is providing. I believe this is deliberate as the Republicans have demonstrated they will do whatever they can to keep the populace ignorant - up to and including lying about history.

I can keep going.
Agreed.

I have a love of electro-mechanical seven-segment displays. For scoreboards and timers, I feel like these are less intrusive than modern electronic display scoreboards.

There is something magical about seeing the score "flip" when a point is scored.
Except that is not what Google is doing. They have exclusive access to the one line that is preinstalled for all houses. Only they can use it. And if you want a different provider, you can't use that same line. You have to pay for the installation of a line from that provider with your own cash.

At least other video conferencing tools don't lag like Meet, so users don't need to debug ;) I think this has to do with all of them using H.264 while Meet uses VP8/9.

On the messenger type apps, on feed type apps, on most apps, I disable sound for notifications. The only sound my phone makes is the phone's ringtone when someone is calling.

I also put my phone face down when I'm in a conversation or when I'm in an activity when a child. In the latter I usually leave the phone away from me.

I find it helps a lot in keeping my attention where it's worth putting.
The point being that if one has the technical ability, they could just flash stock.
I'm confused; how is jsdoc an alternative to typescript? They serve totally different functions.

Personally I don't think there's any good argument not to use typescript over javascript
A wonderful and meaningful idea. The sentimental value of self-made wedding rings is immense.

> A Turing machine with finite states must eventually either halt or loop. Those are the only options, because there are only finitely many configurations it can be in, and each configuration completely determines the next.

The Turing machine writes and reads from an infinite tape, and as such, the number of configurations (the machine's state + tape) is countably infinite.

> I think interesting take on the same idea I saw lately was "Every Dead Body on Mt. Everest Was Once a Highly Motivated Person". It seems not that new but still.

I mean, everyone dies. Not that I'm elevating Mt. Everest climbers, but at least they're aspiring for something.

Now, if the message you're trying to get across is it takes more than motivation, and life is rife with failure, that I can get behind. But "don't try, there's no point" is the laziest, most self-serving twaddle ever to be uttered (and no, it's not Nihilism either).
A running joke in Japan, as a country with practically no natural resources (read: oil, minerals, precious metals), is that the one natural resource they do have tons of is fresh water.

Consider that the Japanese find water so mundane they think nothing of using it disposably to make instant yakisoba (chow mein).

I've seen: 3d print a part (resin printer), make a mold from the 3d printed part with modeling clay or whatever, cast wax in the mold and then sand cast metal with the wax casting.

I think the 3d printed part wouldn't burn away as cleanly as the wax that is designed for that purpose. Probably faster if you want more than one as well.

Tensor chips are not open enough for an optimized mobile LLM to be ran on them.
(1) is absolutely true.

(2) - well, it isn’t that hard to become a bank, but it is hard to become a bank when your business plan is “we want to operate well outside of established regulation and norms”. (Starting a state chartered bank is particularly straightforward.)

There are many small banks that would like to be acquired and they are generally profitable. A VC-funded fintech would not have a terribly difficult time acquiring a bank, particularly one that wants to offer BaaS, like Synapse did.
Most of the CPE from various ISPs I've seen are barely powered enough to keep track of enough NAT connections. They're handing out devices capable of DPI on 100mb/s+ connections now?
My first thought in reading the question was “if your browser is doing that, your platform architecture has… some room for improvement”.
I actually agree. The base-12 fractional system is very nice to work with, until it brakes, and it brakes much worse than the metric system. I actually explained in another post that if the USA were to move to metric, I think the construction industry will still be using feet and inches for at least a couple of generations (at least partially), and they would have a good reason to.

The way the metric system brakes isn’t actually all that bad, at worst you grab a calculator and write down the number.

And also bare in mind that this case is where feet and inches really shines, so we are comparing feet+inches at their best to metric at it’s worst. There are so many cases where metric is anywhere from marginally better to significantly better which does make up for that.

IMO the most significant reason for metric being superior is the universality of it. It is used everywhere in the world, including the USA, and that is an excellent quality of a measurement system which should not be understated.
I'm glad that, at least, CPU ID isn't part of that.

Actually, do modern Macs even allow normal software to discover the CPU ID?
Other strategies that could come in handy before completely shutting down the API:

- Rate-limit the API, with increasing aggressiveness until you're down to 0 requests per unit of time;

- Introduce latency in serving the requests (assuming your edge can handle the increased volume of open connections).

Both of these introduce gradual degradation of the old API, without outright killing the business functionality that recalcitrant customers are nevertheless reliant upon. It helps spur a bit of urgency to switch to the new API, while remaining nice. Many (enterprise) customers will wait until the last minute to switch: essentially they are having to put in work without any tangible feature gain—at least from their perspective.

Regardless of the strategy, one other point I'd add is to monitor actual use of the API; if important customers are still actively using the old API, it would be unwise to shut it off.
Or in this case, a bank based in West Memphis, _Arkansas_ that you’ve never heard of.
Agreed. "Just use a pixel matrix display" sounds an awful lot like, "Just use an Arduino."

There are plenty of places where a simple and small microcontroller paired with a 4-digit segment display is the cheapest, simplest, and most defensible design decision.

The libertarians I know are against regulation. Instead you are supposed to sue the party that has injured you. Good luck proving that you were injured for example by leaded gas. It's hard enough for a government agency with many lawyers and scientists to prove long term harm done by pollution. As the little guy you have no chance against a company with deep pockets who can buy as many expert witnesses and lawyers as needed.
> They would rather use their powers in politically motivated activities, like stopping protests.

Stopping a particular side's protests.

If your political views align with the police, they'll leave you alone, treat you with kid gloves, and/or assist you, even if you're out there to cause trouble. If your political views are against the police, they'll come out by the hundreds, intimidate you, embed operatives in your protest to cause trouble as a pretext to excuse force escalation, use kettling, tear gas, and other violent containment tactics, and in general act as antagonists.

got tired of the brutal interview structures that FAANG companies demand these days, so I made an app to help people ace their interviews. Whether it's a coding question or a system design question, the app will solve it and show you the answer within 30 seconds.

This kind of thing is common, there was a file called tweaks.cpp which had a list of domains that had slightly different behaviours.

Now that rates are higher, another fintech “opportunity” is anything that lets you sit on a large amount of money for a few days and collect 5% on it.

Of course, some fintechs actually are providing a legitimate service. I’d like to see them partnering with a legitimate bank directly instead of using an intermediary like Synapse which just dumped all the money in one FBO account.
wow that is a great run. i love a giant pile of crisp hundred dollar bills. yes it's quite grounded in 'reality.' will play along / stretch a bit and does well with fictional characters too.

Maybe in this situation we should distinguish "fair" vs. "probable".

I'd guess it's improbable that Google is trying to use this for fingerprinting.

But if we've previously found them with their hand in the cookie jar, then maybe it's fair to treat them as guilty until proven innocent?
Also i don’t entirely understand the LCD vs 7-segment comparision. In my mind many (perhaps most?) 7 segment displays use LCD technology.

Are we comparing here pixel-matrix LCD screens with 7-segment screens?
hahaha, it doesn't stand for that intellectual laziness!
I also like VFD displays. There is something magical in all that green glow.
Show HN: Crash Course in IT
I keep being asked by the IT-adjacent folks at my job about stuff like "What is the cloud" and "Where should I start learning about IT?"

They usually come with the Google IT Fundamentals course or something like that, and while that stuff is good and all, it's a lot of time spent to learn some basic stuff that they don't really care about. They want to know an overview of stuff, so I'm trying to curate a list of videos, articles, games, activities, etc, that I can send to them and they can pick and choose what they're interested in.

If you have suggestions about what to add, please let me know! I've just got it hosted on a Github site because I don't want to pay for hosting on anything, and it's basic HTML for now.

Resentment over what somebody else has is the quintessential mental sliver communism uses to drive people to destroy the system. Perhaps the OP was just engaging in an outburst of his own destructive revolutionary zeal against his fellow passengers because they had something he didn't.

LOL, not what I meant!

An example of what I mean is merging next to an 18 wheeler. In most cars including my ol' minivan that takes a somewhat concerted effort. Pick a slot, match speed, communicate intent. A Tesla (or any sports car, really) doesn't need to do any of that. You can just lay on the accelerator because you can reasonably assume that you'll always be able to outmaneuver the other vehicle, and drivers often do. I don't blame them, it's way more fun that way.

My argument is that a big part of learning to drive is building understanding and empathy for the other inhabitants of the road, and sports cars don't do a good job of this.
A couple different ways to answer that question.

For portcos, you'll definitely see the focus on costs. That means restructuring/layoffs, contraction from non-key markets, and reduced growth initiatives.

PE is going to be loathe to sell at a loss, though you'll see some horse-trading between some firms. So that would be a last resort, though we are already seeing some write-downs, like Vista/PluralSight last month[1].

More broadly, you'll see lower valuations and tightening in the credit markets that may affect macroeconomic slowdowns.

Most of this isn't exclusive to PE: interest rates and other drives are affecting non-PE similarly in the form of increased borrowing costs, tighter credit conditions, and general economic uncertainty. The contrarian view may be that PE portcos are better able to navigate those waters given the focus on business fundamentals and operating maturity.

Synthetic user research creates some interesting philosophical questions. However, despite these questions I believe that AI can indeed be a very useful tool in modeling how humans will respond with predictable variances.
