I've always thought Hacker News could do with a chat room, and given how simple it is (and free), IRC would probably best fit the bill. Searching Hacker News shows that some people have proposed different chat rooms but nothing's stuck really. I reckon it'd need a "chat" tab up the top. Nice-to-haves would be adding an optional web-based client, and tying it into your actual HN login.

I've never set up IRC before though, so I have no idea if this is actually feasible.
And if it were true and it wasn't reported then someone gets away with rape.

I don't really get it. Apple wants an acquisition fee? Why? Should my car manufacturer be able to demand an acquisition fee to all the stores it takes me in the first year? Should my refrigerator be able to demand an acquisition fee from every grocery store?
There's some irony in this for me personally. My most recent major "I quit Apple" rage moment was trying to get Flameshot (which I use routinely on Linux) working on my Macbook, so I could more easily take screenshots, just to share something with a friend, because the built-in screenshot functionality in MacOS is so clunky. Between Gatekeeper and the XCode upgrade train, Mac OS's dogged insistence on not letting me run the software I wanted it to run worked me into a rage and I swear I'll never buy another Mac for casual daily computing again. They've really ruined the OS.
Can you explain what this means? I know all these words, but it looks like retro-encabulator to me.
Many open source projects move to Matrix. There are IRC bridges for it too.
In the fall of 96 or 97? I was getting some freshmen setup with computers. I was on the football team so we were on campus (WUSTL) 7 days before school started so almost no one was on campus. We were trying to download navigator from tucows (I think) and I remembered wuarchive still existed and was on campus. We had 100 meg in the buildings and fiber backbone. We pulled NN at 5.5Mb/s... it finished so fast we downloaded it a second time to make sure. And I said "We won't see speeds like that for 7-10 years." I was pretty correct. That's when I realized that live video would be doable but not for a while.
There's a really good video by CGP Grey that touched on this:

I think this framework makes a lot of sense, but some of the examples fall flat for me ("Low Clarity" you might say).

Considered High Clarity:

- Slack: “Where work happens”

- Notion: “All-in-one workspace”

Considered Low Clarity:

- Snowflake: “The Data Cloud”

- MuleSoft: “The world’s #1 integration and API platform”

I understand why the author chose those companies for the low clarity category. But I think judging on taglines alone doesn't differentiate much from the "high clarity" definitions for Slack and Notion. It would make more sense if Slack was "Instant messaging for startups" or something very explicit. But "where work happens" has to be the lowest clarity item on the list.
In an off-nominal re-entry, the people can be subjected to 9G's for a sustained time, and impulses much larger than this.

> The bulk goods that were ordered.

Wait. Ordered as in you shouted out into the wilderness: "Oh great vast expanse, give me rice!"

Or ordered as in, like, you contacted a business that supplies bulk goods and requested that they fulfill an order? I'm assuming this one, but how did you magically find out about this business without some kind of advertising letting its existence be known?

Hell, even if we believe the former, how did you come to learn that rice (or whatever good it is that you ordered) exists? You (or your parents, or their parents, whatever) were somehow magically born with that knowledge?
Some people might still find such an app useful. Framing problems in different ways is sometimes all it takes. A lot of apps could simply be spreadsheets, but it's still a bajillion dollar market.

I need to read 3 articles a second to earn the same amount as I do in my day job. Even someone on a low wage would need to read an article every 3 seconds to compete with their drive thru job.

You are right on! Teamwork outside of paid work is underrated. So many solo projects/goals/quests stall when a person with a different skill set could've made all the difference and helped bring it to completion. I think in-person community is best for this, although Internet strangers can certainly become friends and do fun projects together.
I've seen such comments on HN.
Most of the examples in the quadrant “clear and impactful” category aren’t actually clear. It’s only because you’re familiar with the company that they appear to be.

“Where work happens” - is this wework?

“All-in-one workspace” - google suite?

“Organize anything, with anyone, from anywhere” - the container store? IKEA?

“Collaborate, manage projects, and reach new productivity peaks” - literally anything?

I suppose it depends what you mean by "success". Metallica, G'n'R, AC/DC etc can still sell out arenas, even if their latest album sales aren't great (comparative to earlier success).
Correct. The UK and France put together were as exhausted as Germany. And "exhaustion" can't be measured just in body counts. Recall that France had some very serious mutinies around the time of the battle of Verdun.

The "lessons of Versailles" is a dumb phrase. Germany only asked for an Armistice "on the basis of the 14 Points" although Wilson didn't manage to pull that off over England and France's objections.

So we have two counterfactuals, neither of which can be settled:

1) Wilson doesn't propound his 14 Points. Perhaps he loses the election of 1912.

2) He does and the Armistice happens as it actually did, but the Paris Peace Conference declares that the Allies are going to occupy Germany and reshape its government, or maybe Germany is to be dismembered.

It's #2 that this phrase seems to imply. I'd claim that if that happens, no peace treaty is signed at all, similar to the way that the Korean War is technically still going on. The Allies would not have invaded Germany. Russia was already out of the war.
I understand the argument, but it's clear which one succeeded in the market. Meanwhile: we take pretty good advantage of the extra power eBPF gives us over what DTrace would, so I'm happy to be on the golden path for the platform here. Like I said, though: this is a matter of taste.
certainly not the intended parsing.
Game Developers: What Challenges Do You Face That a Developer Can Help Solve?

In my experience most folks stay at a company because of the relationships they form, not necessarily because of the work.

If you have a team of great people with an awesome attitude and human leadership, you could be doing almost anything (tech wise) and be happy.

The best technologists tend to follow each other around, if you have an exceptional leader, folks will follow them to the company, regardless of the business domain.
I think it depends on who is paying the inspector. When we bought our house, the realtor we were working with connected us with her best and most rigorous inspector. He found fifty pages worth of stuff that was wrong, but most of them were fairly minor.

We took that list back to the sellers (who were then legally required to provide a copy of that report to other future buyers), and we simply waived the little stuff. We wanted them to fix the big stuff. They didn’t want to do that, so they came down on the price by a considerable amount. He saved us tens of thousands of dollars.

Now, given the problems we’ve had since then which the inspector didn’t identify, we would have paid back more than what he saved us — Except for insurance coverage. USAA is really good about paying out on claims, when many other insurance companies would weasel out.

We love this house, we love this neighborhood. If we had to do it over again, I think we would have pressed harder to get even the minor problems fixed or to get the seller to come down even further on price. But I think we probably would have still bought this house.

I don’t blame the inspector for anything he missed. Most of those problems were well disguised, until such time as there was an actual catastrophic failure. He couldn’t have known. If I knew his name and contact details, I would recommend him to future buyers in the Austin area.

And we’re definitely sticking with USAA.

Thanks for adding a security policy.

To be clear I'm certainly not suggesting people write their own auth from scratch. My point is more that even when using mature frameworks it's possible to miss necessary bits or accidentally cause vulnerabilities around the edges. My experience here is building auth on Django's built in auth system which is fantastic. The issue comes when you start customising session management (for real product use-cases!), without then understanding all the interactions between various flows. As we were using a framework in our application, fixing these sorts of issues was straightforward, however if we had used a third-party hosted application (even if running on our own infra), it would likely have been far harder to spot the issues and address them.
The viable alternative would have been demanding a surrender but stating that The Emperor will remain as a constitutional monarch - which is what the US ended up imposing anyway because it was the logical way to forestall resistance from a radicalized population. Such a demand would likely have resulted in a surrender before the atomic bombings.

Yes, there's actually a very good test for a properly inverted color negative. You need a negative of a greyscale step scale from light to dark. If the color channels are properly linear relative to one another in the scanned image, you should be able to white balance any one of the patches and have all of the others remain neutral: by which I mean each patch should have equal amounts of red blue and green. In practice the characteristic curves of film often mean the darkest and lightest patches are often slightly more green or red, but its very close.

So the process would be, using the RAW scan of the image (the orange mask intact):

1) Invert the image.

2) White balance on any patch.

3) Sample the color balance of every other patch. They should have equal amounts of all colors.

Looking at the comments here, I think there is a bit of a rift between how people think here and how the person who made this thinks. I can totally see how both viewpoints make sense. And even if you can't, it isn't that far-fetched to imagine a mouse that has a RP2040 in it from factory. (Power consumption wouldn't be stellar, but old optical mice used more.) I'd bet there is one somewhere!
nope, your totally right. this is an initial launch for us and we have a lot planned :)
Flooding can come in many forms.

Perhaps the balcony over your front door is not properly constructed and is not properly shedding rain, so one day during a torrential thunderstorm you suddenly have a flood coming in OVER your front door.

Perhaps your water heater pan is not draining correctly, and one day you have a catastrophic containment failure in your water heater, causing an interior flood.

Perhaps you change the toilet in an upstairs bathroom, and the new modern toilet is not providing enough water per flush to make the long run of the upstairs plumbing. So, it clogs up over time, then one day it backs up while you’re taking a shower, and you’re standing in multiple inches of grey water. Then the water does slowly drain, but you don’t notice that the pipe has cracked above the clog and it’s actually flooding into the room below, through the light fixture.

Perhaps the main schedule 40 PVC pipe from the water main at the street slowly develops a crack, due to the roots of a tree nearby, and one day you discover that the water pressure in your house is really low and that you have flooded the whole street.

Guess which of these have happened to us?
Wikipedia suggests only a few sources draw that distinction and including lime or lime juice in a "rum and Coke" is very normal.
From the inside, I’d recommend that if you bring software dev in house, you bring it entirely in-house. There’s nothing worse (as an in-house developer) than having to work with contractors that have zero skin in the game beyond their paycheck.

I thought the whole point of SLS was to keep critical skills from being lost by keeping people employed at Michoud, Stennis, Huntsville, etc. If that's not happening then it's really pure pork.
Be successful? Why do you need social media for this?

Not counting HackerNews, I have 0 social media.

No Facebook, no toktok, no reddit, no instagram, no Snapchat, no twitter. Waste of time.

I consider myself relatively successful too. With 0 social media presence I still manage to make and sell my own software.

Don’t compare yourself with people online. It’s all fake, it’s all phoney, it’s all self-aggrandising. You could argue the same for people on HackerNews
This might be the problem with saas marketing. The people writing the obvious fluff think it’s “clear and impactful” in their minds.
He's wrong about capitalization. The "to" in "to allow" is part of the verb (forming the infinitive). It's not a preposition. Dumb flex.

Oh, they 100% can. There's a US Constitution thing allowing them to comment on things. They just chose not to comment because they don't want to.
I'm working from memory here, but I believe early 90s Audi "quattro"s (like the 100) had the feature. That said, I think we are very much in "the exception that proves the rule" territory.

I think it's reverse causation. Motivating and meaningful activities feel like quests. Boring but necessary activities that we procrastinate on make us reach for "goal-setting" as a cure for the procrastination.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow feel intrinsic motivation and meaning for the boring stuff too, so that even cleaning the toilet felt like part of a grand adventure?
The secure boot option is very appealing. I could see using these to implement secure enclaves and cheap HSMs.
> Step 2: Port to other GPUs.

why not do this first? because the existing closed sourced CUDA already runs well on nvidia chips. Replicating it with an open stack, while ideologically useful, is going to sap resources away from the porting of it to other GPUs (where the real value can be had - by stopping the nvidia monopoly on ai chips).

Why would I torture them.
When I look at old games, I'm always shocked about why I endured some of the terrible design choices. I'm so glad for modern game design and don't torture my children with old stuff.

Doesn't mean they get life easy, I let them play at stuff that's harder than their current age and they get plenty of frustration: put a 3 years old on new super mario bros u and see what happens.

This sort of thing is frustrating from a company that seems to launch a new product every week.

The Zero Trust portal is such a terrible experience to use and has felt very badly “bolted on” to the rest of the Cloudflare portal from the beginning and has only continued to diverge from there.

Cloudflare’s usability took a huge dive for me when tunnels moved out of the main UI.

The integration between critical security products is poor too (eg Access and Tunnels) leading to confusion and uncertainty - which is exactly what you don’t need when it comes to security.
