> It has to not be impractical to go through this ritual after skiing (try doing this with two or three young, tired kids in tow)

Anecdotally I do all the routine waxing and edge maintenance on my family's (wife and two kids) skis, and it's not that big a deal. Slightly less of a hassle than bringing gear to the shop to do it would be for me, and the kids enjoy hanging out with some hot cocoa and helping a bit. Once you have everything in your workspace set up right, it goes pretty fast.
This looks pretty awesome but, speaking only for myself here, the thing I actually want is just Webflow but without the BS and predatory pricing.

A visual editor that produces plain old HTML, CSS, JS and that anyone in our company can use to make changes to pages or create new ones. That's it.

I don't think it exists (if so, pointers would be very welcome!), so here's my comment to incentivize someone to build it.
While you could make an OpenFlow client that uses this switch chip as the data-plane, it might not be the best as most of the features you would use OpenFlow for would not be able to use the relatively limited hardware fast-path.
1. sounds like a variant of "everything is securities fraud"[1], where you can't prosecute someone for [bad thing] so you prosecute them for lying about [bad thing], where [bad thing] could be anything between causing global warming to getting hacked.

There's an argument to be made you're encouraging people to just reduce their own income up front.

I'd have to look at their financial aid calculator, but I suspect a high income earning family could just reduce their income a bit and qualify for vastly more aid.
Make Stuff I think is one.

But probably, greed/money would be the other.

Now, that's probably a whole other conversation, given the propensity that "capitalism" or whatever one wants to call it is pretty much dedicated to you and I getting this wrong consistently, but hey.

That would set up bad incentives. Students might be more tempted to keep their salary under the threshold until the loan expires, or even to temporarily drop out of the field altogether (e.g. to raise children).

Expecting the parents to pay for their children also comes with issues, but in general successful parents do want to have successful children.
I think one challenge that you will face is that Webflow is a SaaS app while your app I have to host somewhere. If I'm a non-technical user then I have no idea how to host this thing myself and will just go to a competitor. On the other hand if I'm a developer then I have to weigh the time it would take to host and maintain the app versus just building a regular react app from scratch.

My suggestion is keep offering it as OSS, but offer a hosted version as well.

FYI, $1500 is very expensive for a pass and $150 for a day trip is incredibly cheap these days. You can get an Ikon/Epic pass for under $1000, and you should if you're going to ski more than a few days because even east coast mountains are charging $200+ just for the day pass.
No-Signup Typst Tools
Hey HN,

I’ve been using Typst extensively over the past few months for various projects, including creating personalized documents for a team event of around 280 participants. This involved generating name tags, individual timetables, and more. Typst has been a massive time-saver for me.

I usually pair Typst with Excel, preparing data and exporting it as CSV files for use with Typst. The setup is straightforward, and the compilation speed is impressive.

I came across some additional Typst tools that are free to use and don’t require a signup. Thought I’d share the link here.

Cheers,

I'll get downvoted for this because it's a bitter medicine, rather than a sweet poison, but since it affects human lives, it's worth sacrifing internet points.

The poster you are replying to is fundamentally anti-meritocratic, against equality of opportunity, and supportive of equality of outcome. Any amount of reward doled out to the competent as a function of their competence is 'too much' when the incompetent aren't being rewarded identically, in the world view of these types. There is no way to appease them besides nobody receiving any distinct recognition, effectiveness and efficiency of solutions be damned.

I say this with such confidence because there's only one type of mindset that accuses the successful and competent of being 'rewarded too much', it is the mindset of those who have never really emotionally accepted that life is unfair, and that some human beings are simply more useful than other human beings. The poster is coming from a place of empathy for the less useful human beings. Good intentions, sure, but implementing their preferred solutions will inevitably result in a broad degradation of the quality of goods and services (and thus quality of life) across the board wherever their ideas are implemented.

This is because some humans are more useful than other humans, and meritocratic systems are efficient at grouping people based on how useful they are. Removing the meritocratic systems that lead to unequal reward will simply allow the incompetent to flourish in environments where a lack of competence is fatal. Feelings saved, lives lost.

Microrobot-Packed Pill Shows Promise for Treating IBD in Mice
In the early 90's I used DB2/2 (OS/2) 1.0 for a project. Part of the application used C (embedded SQL) and another part of the application used Watcom's VX-REXX. I was very happy with the database for the state of things back then. It was a good experience. The documentation (all hard-copy) was impeccable.

Does anyone use DB2 for Linux or Windows these days? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

Look at how the story had all but disappeared until there was a non-fatal incident that happened to a US airline. Everyone across the media and anyone from regulators to legislators sprung into action focusing their attention and making demands of accountability.

I have zero doubt that had the door-plug came off the plane on a non-US airline, that excuses would have been made, the usual insinuations about poor quality maintenance, and issues would still be brushed under the carpet.

Likewise, had the first crash been a US airline, I'm sure there would have been an immediate grounding.

Instead, after the second crash on March 10:

Thanks, this looks pretty neat! Definitely a project to keep an eye on :-)

I love the approach of having it show you the code (and diff) and control on writing it back. This seems like it may be very useful!

As an AOLPress user back in the day, it's both really surprising that in 2024 we don't have more WYSIWIYG tools, but also understandable because of how hard it is to design one.

Most tools end up trying to find a sweet spot between targeting a developer and targeting a designer, and as a result end up doing neither well. There's also the problem of what kind of code it generates, and how to generate good/maintainable code that doesn't tie you to the WYSIWYG tool for the rest of its life. I haven't had a chance to try this yet (though I plan to) so I'm not certain where it falls on each of these, but from the video I get the impression that you are well aware of these challenges.

Thanks for sharing, and thanks for making open source!

Edit: Adding a couple of question:

1. Are you planning to monetize? If so, what are some of your ideas?

2. What is the grand scope for Studio? It sounds like the immediate focus is on editing styles. Are you planning to keep the scope limited to that, or would this eventually become an everything-you-need-for-building-a-website type of tool?

Some people are just really good at negotiating things. You get paid well if you are superior in getting things out of the other side, be it for example insurance company. Those situations can net lot of money. And on other side, if you are effective in brining in, that is selling your firm, to less price sensitive customers that is also a huge thing.

Most of the stuff we learned in college is not useful except conceptually. There is almost never a need to use it in real life
It depends on the financial aid program .

The FAFSA for example only looks at the parent you're living with, but I believe Harvard's financial aid will want income information from both parents.

I can't imagine most grad students already having an income of $300,000 per year. In that case why go to med school?
Ha, I'm showing my age. You're right, my brain is still at "Linux around the year 2000."

That being said, it's still the same problem.

And I think that's why I find it odd that I haven't heard the argument more plainly stated like:

"Oh look -- right around when Linux became mainstream, it began to get worse in precisely the same ways proprietary stuff was already bad. Probably a result of more business involvement, but how can we counter it."
> Last week they gave Boeing the choice of entering a guilty plea and paying a fine as part of its sentence or facing a trial on the felony criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the US over the crashes, which claimed 346 lives.

Why not both? We have them over a barrel and the best we can do is ask them to invest a measly sum as penance and then drop the defraud charges? What is this.

More to the point, it's the difference between a jury trial where jurors are likely to award high amounts from a unsympathetic defendant (a big faceless multinational) to a sympathetic plaintiff (79 year old women), and a settlement (presumably the government didn't think they had a strong case so they didn't take to trial).

This almost reads like a parody - could it be that the author really doesn't get it?

I visited this weekend / and we wanted to bike through some of the islands to the mainland of Finland. The only problem? Their anti-growth state of mind which makes it hard for tourism to shine. / I can understand wanting to keep housing prices low but if demand is great, just build more like they do everywhere that is popular? / What I cannot understand is a fee to simply pass through. It is just super anti-growth. / We will not exactly recommend people going there because it's kind of boring for a tourist.

That's the whole point. They don't want tourists, and they don't want tourism based growth, or any other kind of growth for that matter, any more than a person would want an actual growth on their body!

I'm not sure that "scam" is the right word to use in this case, unless I am misconstruing what they are calling a scam.

However...

Did you train your own model? Fine tune it? Or did you just use some model that you had free/cheap access to?

AI/LLMs can/will be very useful things. But there is every indication that spending huge money to create a model is flushing money down the drain - you'll never be able to generate the revenue to justify that spend. And nevermind the cost to create - there are some models that cost more to operate than they can generate in revenue.

If there is money to be made with AI/LLMs (and there probably is), it is going to be made by some entity that is unburdened by the cost of creating the model.

These kinds of income limits are not great. So a family that earns $300,001 has to pay full tuition and one with $299,999 get it free. There is no reason not to use a sliding scale. Not just for this but for a whole range of other "cut-off" limits for income assistance.

The law being so wide ranging, complicated, and subject to interpretation based on previous decisions (in may jurisdictions) it's practically impossible to know definitively every law that applies to you, even for an expert.

Now, knowing what the law is in specific, narrow areas that you're operating in, or with sufficient budget to hire experts, that's something different, and might be closer to knowable.
I did "go back and look [for] the reasoning behind it." There was none. This is the entire relevant quote from Judge Hand's ruling:

> We agree with the Board and the taxpayer that a transaction, otherwise within an exception of the tax law, does not lose its immunity, because it is actuated by a desire to avoid, or, if one choose, to evade, taxation. Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. U. S. v. Isham, 17 Wall. 496, 506, 21 L. Ed. 728; Bullen v. Wisconsin, 240 U.S. 625, 630, 36 S. Ct. 473, 60 L. Ed. 830. Therefore, if what was done here, was what was intended by section 112 (i) (1) (B), it is of no consequence that it was all an elaborate scheme to get rid of income taxes, as it certainly was. [From this point the ruling switches to arguing why "To dodge the shareholders' taxes is not one of the transactions contemplated" as tax exempt.]

https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/69/...

I see precedents, which only support the legality, not the morality, of the position. The legality is not in dispute. I do not see "detailed reasoning to support it".

Perhaps I missed something. Can you point out where Judge Hand explained why his claim was morally correct, and not merely a statement of the legal status quo (comparable to pro slavery rulings before the 13th)?

Some highlights from the Github issues thread [1]:

> Ideally you would be able to turn off auto-download but still be able to use a [language server] if it’s already on the users system.

> There is not a binary choice between "friendly to end users" and "secure". You can have your cake and eat it too. The main thing that should be considered is less of a user facing popup or preference (where opt-in vs. opt-out is an issue, as is noise & friction), but developer facing options. If Zed offered compile time configuration this could be fixed to everybody's satisfaction. Distros could ship a pre-configured package with all the dependencies already provided so that the user experience is just "install and run" while also not having an app that downloads (or attempts to download) binaries behind teh users back. Meanwhile if Zed wants to ship a binary package upstream that defaults to downloading things they can.

There is a longstanding tradition of vendors of mediocre 'security' systems using trade secrets/restrictive license terms/anti-hacking laws to cover up their mediocrity.

If you're shopping for a garage door opener and one vendor publicly documents their security system and well known experts have given it their thumbs up, while another vendor says their system is secret and has sued people for attempting to reverse engineer it? Knowledgeable folk would have far more trust in the former than the latter.

> literally nobody thought this

Well it seems relevant because the comment I replied to was minimizing the number of people who thought 5G may have caused covid to a miniscule number of people. I raised my experience because I only know a small number of people and did in fact know someone in real life who believed this and sent me plenty of links and whitepapers making the same claims.

Is my anecdotal experience statistically significant? Absolutely not. But I also hesitate to believe that the number of people who bought into the idea was so small as to effectively not exist.
If it was a pikvm instead of proprietary, you could script it to do anything you want if some other user with the same common wish didn't already build it in.

Restart on power loss in the bios is usually the right way if the machine is a server that you know you always want it to be on or trying.

It only gets complicated when you have say, a full backup clone of that machine that you actually want to be a cold spare not a hot spare. So it exists, is plugged in, but turned off, and you want it to stay off unless you explicitly turn it on because it would conflict with the primary, and yet want to be able to do that remotely or even automatically but by some more complex logic than merely the fact that power went from off to on.

That's not super common, but it would take something weird like that to not want simple bios always-on.

Usually it should be easy enough to have a machine always try to turn on, and decide for itself that it should shut back down.
