Still not quite sure if the value is there.

1. You can make private subs for free and manage your own ways to get approved users in. How many would want to go through a middleman for that? Or is that next on the chopping block of enshittification?

2. Reddit is a much slower medium than discord. The appeal in discord chats is having (ideally) quick communication with a creator you support. Reddit also doesn't self-host except for media so it'd be hard to copy Patreon and use it to host paid rewards.

3. Reddit's whole scheme only works at scale. Have you seen how slow traffic can be for <1000 sub subreddits? You're paying more to ultimately get a worse experience unless you are lucky enough to have some hyperengaged posters.

4. as you mentioned, people can and will just up and make their own free space to post on if something goes paid. And due to #2 the free space may end up better than the paid one without a lot of careful tailoring by the creator.

On a completely different tangent:

>Huffman raised the prospect during an earnings call in which he said Reddit would also be testing AI-powered search results later this year …

You can't put lipstick on a pig. That base search indexing is abyssmal. Even to the point where I can search exact titles and not find posts that Google would find with a tiny bit of prodding (either adding site:reddit.com and/or adjusting date ranges). I sure wouldn't bother using a generalized search engine, if that's the idea.
Interesting!

The recycling containers here have separate containers for clear glass and coloured glass and I've always thought glass is glass.

Now I checked in detail what is accepted, and sure enough, drinking glasses and mirrors are specifically disallowed.
How do cats know if another pet dies? Oftentimes they don't witness the actual death - the cat will just "disappear" because the owner would take it to the vet and the cat may be put to sleep there.
"Never use random IVs with GCM; this breaks the authentication"

Why could one not use Encrypt-then-HMAC and HMAC-then-Decrypt with a random IV ?

(Serious question. It definitely sounds like you know what you are talking about, I just can't see what I am missing here)
If you have concerns about having to potentially put down a pet, find an at home euthanasia vet, IMO it's the best way to deal with this process. Having animals be able to see and smell the death happening helps them understand, you don't have to worry about transporting an animal in rough condition, and having them in a familiar environment when it happens makes it far less stressful for them. Last year, I had planned to have my dog put down a few weeks after his health started really declining, but when it was obvious that he was in unbearable pain, the vet agreed to come out later that day, on just a few hours notice, no questions asked.

The dog was very closely bonded to my two cats (who themselves are a bonded pair of litter mates) and having the dog euthanized this way allowed the cats to understand what happened. They were pretty distraught afterward (as was I) but weren't looking for him around the house. Their personalities changed in that they were more stressed out when I had company at the house, and didn't really return to normal until I adopted another dog about a month ago that they were able to bond with in a really similar way. Because of how closely the cats are bonded I definitely will need to use one when the time comes for either cat.

I really don't know how someone could deal with putting down animals all day, but if you can find a good one they are fantastic. In addition to helping my cats, it definitely helped me process the situation way better than if it had been done in a sterile setting at a vet's office.

This is the correct answer. If you're trying to validate a business idea and this kind of thing is not your core competency, just get an entry-level plan with a tool like this. I'd also highly recommend you sign up for a CRM tool like HubSpot to capture leads, send marketing emails and do landing pages. It does all that kind of stuff adequately well for a small business. WorkOS is another option although I've never used it and can't endorse.
I'm into several hobbies and something people point out often in all of them is that collecting stuff for a hobby and using stuff for a hobby are actually separate hobbies.

There are synthesizer collectors, and electronic musicians. You can be one or the other or both. I think the important part is having the self-awareness to know which you are and make sure your choices are in line with that. If you want to make electronic music but keeping buying new synths without mastering the ones you already have, then the gear acquisition is interfering with your own goals.

But if you just like having a bunch of synths and you can afford it, by all means.
Might be some float-precision thresholding buggery, good luck =)

Show HN: We've built a digital place for couples
Hey HN!

We're Pedro and Lívia, and we've built Love by Notes (https://lovebynotes.com), a platform for couples to celebrate and preserve their love story.

What it does:
- Write and save digital love letters
- Create a shared photo gallery with a nostalgic polaroid look
- Track relationship milestones and anniversaries
- Set countdowns for special events

Why we built it:
It all started with a simple website I (Pedro) made to ask Lívia to be my girlfriend. That grew into our personal digital love nest, and we realized every couple deserves such a special place.

We believe love should be celebrated daily, not just on special occasions. Whether you're long-distance or living together, newlyweds or celebrating your golden anniversary, Love by Notes is here to help you cherish every moment.

We'd love your feedback! We're particularly interested in:
1. UI/UX thoughts
2. Feature ideas
3. General impressions

Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks! Yeah unfortunately with cities like SF nowhere is truly "safe to park" but hopefully this helps people avoid the major hotspots!
I think supabase is open source such that you can (and many customers do) self host with no additional cost and with complete control.
I use SaaSPegasus [1] to avoid reinventing all the typical features, integrations and boilerplate code. It's based on Django. One interesting additional component that I recently discovered is PinesUI [2].

I dont' give a shit how much my laptop or desktop uses, but i need power when i use it.
Consider the top super computers back at the start of Top500 - https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/list/1993/06/ ... which are nearly all various configurations of a CM-5 or Cray/HPE.

I am still amazed at how far we've come. A Raspberry Pi5 is 31.4 Gflops at 8.6W ( https://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/group/green_machines.htm... ). That would have put it on the first page 1993.

Which imho is one of the things that make web development nowadays obnoxiously difficult - there are tons of frameworks and stuff trying to reinvent the wheel. Keeping up to date with vanilla web development alone is pretty hard, I don't know how people can keep up doing React/Django/SQL/AWS/whatever. It's too much.
The frontloaded cost model is not just the cost of the hardware, but all the other cost incurred before the first payment rolls in (transportation, build, installation, test, ...). Once it is up and running the variable cost are very low, just energy usage and customer support mostly.
Links are just for reference, but the gist is: serve the webapp from the Go binary instead. The end-user already has to trust the Go binary, and if they need to they can look at the code once and confirm it's not vulnerable. I prefer this to browser extensions because the audit trail process from source to browser extension is less clear; even for open-source browser extensions, I still have to trust the author to not add code that isn't in the repository.
Yeah there are only 24 hours in a day, so the right metric might be density of crimes in an area per hour. Even if I’m not the victim of a robbery, I don’t really want to be watching it from across the street.
I recently started using CPAP and one thing I noticed in the sleep study, besides all the other reasons it was hard to fall asleep, was that when they were doing the titration test to find the best initial pressure, they set it very low and then let it climb up once I stopped breathing at that setting.

The problem was, I actually found it difficult enough to breathe through my nose at that pressure that I would just keep myself awake because I couldn't relax with the mask on. It was kind of horrible and my technician didn't change it for hours. Eventually I started just intentionally snoring while awake to try to get her increase the pressure. No idea if she did but eventually exhaustion won out after around 4 hours.

So just a thought, but if you're using an autoset machine (APAP) maybe discuss with your doctor and make sure the initial pressure is high enough that you're able to breath comfortably through your nose when fully relaxed.

And also, you can experiment with different mask types depending on your sleep position.

Everybody has a testing environment. Some people are lucky enough enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in.
For a CPAP to work best it has to be calibrated for you, is my understanding. The results from the sleep study are used to do this.

>This is a very human approach to describing how a cat perceives the world.

So when a cat leaves a dead mouse as an offer she does or does not understand that the mouse will never wake up? I think the cats know that dead is irreversible and a cold dead cat is not sleeping.

Do you think then that no other animals understand the concept of death or you think cats are not intelligent enough like monkeys/elephants.
Not making any sense.

You can actually self host Supabase, that's really the whole point: a Firebase alternative that you can host yourself. Obviously you can use their hosted service as well.
Not necessarily, people may (or may not? maybe it’s regional) be more likely to victimize strangers.

Well, no culture is totally impenetrable with enough exposure/effort. I just wondered how much exposure he had. His English is obviously (beyond) native level but I do feel the subtlety of British English expressions are frequently lost. [*] Europeans, despite their relative geographic and cultural proximity, rarely seem to get British humour and expressions. American culture dominates these days anyway, no matter what you learnt in school.

For example, I wonder if he would have thought it was too far to call it ‘prick’?

Knowing Linus, perhaps not!

[*] (Not because there’s more subtlety than in any other culture/language; all locales have their own unique usages that are hard to truly understand unless you’ve lived there. I’m not claiming there’s anything mythical or unique about BE.)
I don't think it's about better off or worse off, it's about PR and perception.

The wider consumer base is practically itching for a reason to avoid this tech. If it gets out, that could be a problem.

It was the same issue with Geminis image gen. Sure, the problem Google had was bad. But could you even imagine what it would've been if they did nothing? Meaning, the model could generate horrendously racist images? That 100% would've been a worse PR outcome. Imagine someone gens a mistral image and accredits it to Google's model. Like... that's bad for Google. Really bad.

In Europe Airbnb seems to be much less popular, most people I know just use Booking.com which list private properties too. I use these quite often when I travel with my family and we intend to cook rather than go out (which is generally more healthy and less expensive, and when everybody helps, it doesn't take that much time).
Form what I've seen Duralex glasses are (and have been for some time) quite popular in restaurants/food joints.
There are? I see the opposite trend (at least in US East Coast) - cities only have generic amenities, while all the unusual stuff is in the suburbs, where the the land is cheap.

For example, let's take a relatively common hobby of sewing. The two stores in downtown closed tens of years ago, and the only ones left are in the suburbs, unreachable without the car.

I think at this stage, the only advantage of city is bars, restaurants, and expensive clothing/jewelry. If you like something else, you are better off in suburbs with a car.
Congrats on launching. Interesting pivot.
If you get one of the watches or other devices that can do continuous SpO2 monitoring (blood oxygen) overnight, then it should be possible to detect any form of severe sleep apnea just by looking for significant drops in SpO2. The proper kits look for more than that of course, but SpO2 on its own is actually a pretty good indicator.

I've heard the Flashtor 12 is great, and can take lots of M.2s, but they end up with relatively few channels so data transmission rates aren't awesome. It can be fine as most users will be connecting over the network anyway which will be the bottleneck.
Very positive spin from Anandtech. Questionable decision not to include a 7800X3D in those benchmarks. Probably didn't jive with the conclusions.

> I have found that it is best to split the task of scraping and parsing into separate processes. By saving the raw JSON or HTML, you can always go back and apply fixes to your parser.

Yes, that's exactly what I've been doing and it saved me more times than I'd care to admit!
There's also a lot of evidence that a given individuals' chance of being the victim of a particular crime derives from their social situation. Most people who regularly do crime are used to doing crime in a way they can repeat, and those crimes most often target locals and people from the same social sphere. There are also plenty of factors that lead to the targeting of tourists or wealthy people, but most crime victims are poor and live in similar conditions to the person committing a crime against them.

Obviously this isn't every crime! People do have unlikely crimes happen to them all the time! Just that they're statistical anomalies and the population level statistics will mislead you about how high your risk is.

You don't have to know the sign, you could tell which way the electrons are going.

We tell the aliens: you take all sorts of organics with liquid inside (on earth we typically use a lemon, but other organics will do), and put a stake of element 29 in one side and a stake of element 30 in the other. You then connect them with a length of element 29. Keep trying different organics until you find one that works. They might not have lemons, but there is a good chance that something will eventually work.

You'd need to predefine what the atomic numbers mean and some other things, but we're already assuming some level of communication already being established so this aspect is not far-fetched.
This isn't limited to music. When I worked in NYC and didn't have time to rock climb much, I bought a ton of rock climbing gear--much of it niche equipment that I've never used.

Eventually I realized that this was just a stand-in for actually climbing: I believed that my job was enabling me to rock climb by funding my trips and buying my gear, but the reality was that I was stagnating as a rock climber, because most of my climbing time was at the gym, and that was low-quality time because my job was sapping all my time and energy. On the rare times I could take a few days off, I wasn't in the shape I wanted to be and spent a lot of the trip figuring out how to climb on real rock again since I mostly climbed on plastic. Buying gear was a way to feel like I was making some progress as a climber, because I had the gear to do more things, but the reality was that I wasn't.

I wish I could say I took some agency and started my freelance business, but the reality is that I sort of stumbled into freelance work, and my business started itself. But I did move to a rock climbing area, and eventually moved into a van, and I'm lucky to be able to climb outdoors >3 days a week now (not full days most of the time, but still). In a way, the GAS period of my life set me up for this well, because now I pretty much never need to make any big purchases--I occasionally have to replace an item that wears out but for the most part I have everything I need.

I did also buy a lot of guitar-related gear when I was buying rock climbing gear. That I've mostly sold: all I have at this point is my acoustic guitar, a capo, and a few picks. Again this coincided with me actually playing a lot more guitar, and realizing that I'm really only doing it for myself and only want to do finger-picky acoustic stuff anyway.

This is true. But I think there’s a surprising difference between calling someone ‘an old git’ / ‘a jammy git’ / ‘a grumpy git’ / … and simply calling them ‘a git’. The latter seems quite a lot harsher and less likely to be a joke.
So I actually find this helpful because if the why doesn't match the what (code), I know to look back at the history of changes and see why there is a mismatch. This is honestly a great signal that something might have gone sideways in the past while I'm trying to triage a bug or whatever. So even if the comments are out of date, they're still helpful, because I know to go look at why they're out of sync.

How were you guys able to get a sleep study?? I tried getting one twice and they gave me this stuff that I took home and inserted into my nostrils wrapping around my head and attached to my chest and finger and that alone completely destroyed my sleep. I struggled until like 6am every night and then once I fell asleep all of it got promptly detached from my body because I roll around a lot in my sleep.

Long story short they couldn’t collect any data about my sleep.
My sleep issue costed me jobs, romantic relationships, and the finest years of my life. If you are severely sleep deprived, everything seems like shit, and it goes downhill from there. I fixed my sleep issue in my mid-30s and life has been slowly getting better. Better physical health, emotional stability, and social life. People repeatedly comment that I am a completely different person (in a good way!).

As noted here, sleep apnea is a huge issue indeed, but I would like to suggest more mundane solutions first. Try different mattresses, pillows, and sleeping temperatures to see what fits you. Reduce caffeine intake for a month. Sleep an hour earlier than your usual for two weeks. Try light exercise everyday. They all add up.

I wish I could get my lost years (and jobs, relationships) back, but that's life.
