This is pretty cool. I manually put my budget for a month into a sankey generator just to see last year. Nice to see someone run that idea a little further.
I'm very similar on this. What I do is find someone who loves marketing and get them to help out. Sometimes this is as a partner, sometimes as an employee or contractor, sometimes by hiring a firm. It all depends, but usually it's turned out to be "contractor".

To zoom out a bit, I think this touches on a thing that solo entrepreneurs often try to ignore: that no single person can adequately do everything that is needed to run a company -- even a tiny one. I think a key to success is to be very open and honest with yourself about what you are and are not good at, and to find other ways to cover those things you suck at.
No my friend it was just a joke about British manners

"Give" is a strong word for a company whose main product is surveilling their customers to show them ads. I'm not sure how much you can avoid "giving" Google your personal information at this point without deep knowledge of the various ways they attempt to track you (and you'll probably still fail to avoid them).

the fucking website processes it and after some mighty compute somehow shits out the wrong link. it's actively making things worse by trying to be helpful.

confusing is one thing, but there's a screaming security chasm around that innocent little UX problem.

MS bought npmjs and now it's LARPing as some serious ecosystem (by showing how many unresolved security notices installed packages have) while they cannot be arsed to correctly show what's actually in the metadata?
Yep. The food, soil, and water systems are now and probably forever more riddled with plastics, heavy metals, and industrial agro chemicals. Plastic pollution (being a massive diversity of different petrochemicals) are probably the largest growing issue that would explain the US increase.

However, there is one more culprit that is have recently been getting educated on. Blue light pollution.

I’ve been learning how the more we disrupt our circadian rhythm with screens and artificial light, especially at night, we massively disrupt our natural hormone cycles (master hormone leptin for example). This makes it impossible for adults past a certain age to lose any weight (regardless of diet and exercise), exacerbating the already growing obesity problem.
Cool project—keep it up!
> This is one of those things I don't get why people go so gaga over them

I think it's because they look so fucking cool.
I think that is a requirement for free will, but not sufficient.

You also need locality (from within a boundary rather than remote controlled) and difference from randomness. Probably some more.

I'm seeking to work with Rust (which I know well and am quite good at its advanced features).

I have 8 years of full-time professional experience (in addition to further experience).

I'm skilled at foreseeing how APIs should balance simplicity with flexible capability and what should be exposed or not, as appropriate for the level of the layer at hand. I enjoy using my lower-level knowledge to improve higher-level usage. I'm excellent at making clean, robust, maintainable code with great comments, and at doing debugging, research, and reviewing. I'm good at figuring-out and fixing complex bugs in multithreading. I've both maintained codebases as well as designed and implemented high-reliability high-performance parts, and so I know how to make the various aspects correct the first time.

I'm open to either a long-term position or a contract.
This is the cost of doing business when you have to pay for engineering (and tooling + certification) on niche products. Nothing they do is really designed for mass market.
It's the internet equivalent of Forrest Gump's box of chocolates.

Generally speaking, no one is getting banned from Stripe for the occasional transaction tested in production, come on. If this was the case, virtually every company I've ever worked at would be banned from Stripe. It's reasonable to confirm your system actually works once deployed outside of test environments.

No disagreement from me that is what the letter of the Stripe service agreement says, but what happens in reality is clearly different. I take that rule as trying to encourage people to use the very good test environments Stripe offer, or to limit scale of test transactions in production, rather than trying to shutdown a paying user (the company) for trying a legitimate transaction in prod with a legitimate card. I have no idea why you would want to risk the first ever transaction in prod being performed by a real customer - why leave it to chance that it is not setup correctly?

I have also been on calls with Stripe support staff where we tried a card transaction in production for testing purposes, FWIW.
> understand the concept of death

You have to define what this means, because I honestly have no idea what you mean. Animals understand alive vs not alive perfectly well.
Yep, after Zen 3-4/Alder Lake, we're now in another stagnation cycle like Intel Sandy Bridge brought in 2010-2015.

For casual users, a good test if it's time to upgrade is - has the CPU speed, the memory speed doubled? If not, for most people, it's better to keep your old device.

For competitive gamers, smaller gains make sense, but it gets expensive fast.
> Anybody else finding that the need for upgrades slowed down dramatically?

It's kinda random for me: at some point I used a Core i7 6th-gen (6700 then replaced the 6700 with a 6700K: long story) for seven years, something insane like that.

Then got a 3700X, upgraded after a year or so to a 7700X and I'm now seriously considering the 9700X (for the lower TDP and +12% on single-core perfs and maybe, at long last, some ECC).

But then I did put a process in place: when I buy a new machine, my wife gets my old one (so she now has the 3700X) and my mother-in-law gets the old-old one (so she's got the 6700K atm).

Basically: I feel good about upgrading my machine because everybody gets a faster machine when I upgrade.

I'll probably add my daughter into the mix too.
I do this for electronics; Parts, Materials and Kit. I don't buy PMK because I think it'll make me more skilled, I do it because I want to. I have noticed, however, that when I've got something physically, and can examine it and play with it, then it becomes like a new word in mental vocabulary that I can think with.
Isn't this a win-win situation? Workers improve their situation and Apple gets to be in NYT for a good cause. And overall, although none of the parties would care much about it, another win for US society.

I wish companies this size and this profitable would make these type of moves every now and then at least to signal worker class in the US there is some hope.
I love the glimpse into topics like this, where one might initially think "what is so hard? Dig a trench and fill it with gravel" but it turns out to be way more complicated:

> It is hard to overstate the importance of properly filtered drains for dams. If you don’t believe me, take it from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in their 360-page report, Filters for Embankment Dams: Best Practices for Design and Construction. If that’s not enough, try the Bureau of Reclamation in their 400-page report, Drainage for Dams and Associated Structures.

To the point that:

> A civil engineer could spend an entire career just thinking about subsurface drains
Even if Ukraine is doomed to lose, we need to still continue supporting them, simply to win time to rearm, and also to kill enough Russians to make further aggression unlikely.

In WWII, Soviet Union suffered 7.9M combat dead and dead/incapacitated ratio was way softer back then simply because healthcare was on the lower level - it was 80 years ago. Meaning, for each dead there are more incapacitated today simply because severely wounded people (with heavy concussions, explosive amputaions, multiple fractures and shrapnel, infections), mostly died in WWII and now they survive so don't add to the dead statistics - but are useless for warfare later.

Soviet Union had 190M people in 1941 and Russia has 145M, plus in 1940, 6050K kids were born in the USSR and in Russia today, barely 1200K are born each year. So availability of manpower is about 75% of 1941 and rate of replacement is only 1/5 as high.

In 1945, Soviet Union was a country of invalids and widows. It utterly lacked any mobilisation capacity - 1946 conscripts served for 5-7 years in peacetime army because there was no one to replace them (my grandfather was conscripted in 1947 and served till 1953 while there was no war going on).

Easy to see that approximately 3, or max 4 million combat dead (1/2 to 2/3 the share of population) will bring Russia to the same position, considering lower replacement rate of manpower, and lower share of young population.

What is the fraction of those that need to be killed for Putin to see it's going nowhere? My bet is with 1 million. Losing 1 million dead before Ukraine falls means he will not be able to do much else after it does, putting him in a bind. It will be enough for even the most mindless dictator to stop.
Sorry, I should have clarified, I meant for drainage in the yard. We live in a development that's on a hill so 2 of our neighbors are on properties above us.
But it's interesting to see that this is not true for all crime categories. E.g. car break-in hotspots are by Fisherman's Wharf and the side of Alamo Square with the Painted Ladies -- i.e. prime tourist locations.

However, I suspect there are some basic data errors upstream of this visualization tool that also limits its usefulness. E.g. 'rape' has a giant hotspot centered at the south side of the intersection of 8th and Mission ... which is site of a city Adult General Assistance office. I am guessing these are being tagged with the location where the victim gave a report, not the location where the crime happened.
Redirecting the gutter downspouts away from the house can help if this isn't already done.

EDIT: saw your other comment about drainage being an issue in the yard, not the house.

As someone who also lost a relative on their way of continued betterment by one dose of radiation that undid all progress in a matter of days if not hours - and essentially killed them - I’ve always been wondering why this happens.

RIP Mr. Seliger. Through your writing, you’ve left a permanent mark in this world.
My explanation is quite simple: cool toys are cool, and they give us the illusion of being better at our hobbies than we actually are. I sometimes indulge in some Gear Acquisition too -- but I try to be cognizant of the fact that if not done carefully, it only leads to a short-term happiness kick which quickly leads to another episode of GAS.
Intel's handling of SIMD is representative of Intel's value-subtracting principles that have caused Intel to stagnate in the past 15 years or so.

It is an intrinsic problem with SIMD as we know it that you have to recode your application to support new instructions, which is a big hassle. Most people and companies will give up on supporting the latest and greatest and will ship binaries that meet the lowest common denominator. For instance it took forever for Microsoft to rely on instructions that were available almost 15 years ago.

As Charlie Demerjian has pointed out for years consumers are waking up to the fact that a 2024 craptop isn't much better than a 2014 crapbook and there is zero credibility in claims about "Ultrabooks", "AI PCs", etc. What could make a difference is a coordinated effort end-to-end to widely deploy the latest developments as quickly as possible across as much of the product line as possible, to get tooling support for them, and drive developers to adopt them as quickly as possible. As it is Intel will boast about how the national labs are blowing up H-bombs in VR faster than they ever had, and Facebook is profiling users more efficiently than before and not realize that customers don't believe these advances are going to make a difference for them so instead of buying a new PC which might deliver better performance when software (maybe) catches up in 7-8 years they are going to hold on to old machines longer.
As a tourist in SF recently I was interested in seeing the whole city, warts and all, and I did.

I don't really understand why as a tourist you'd want to use this map for a short trip, unless you were going somewhere that's a literal war zone. Most cities just aren't statistically dangerous for a tourist unless you go out looking for trouble. You're much better off applying common sense than digging through digital maps of (reported) crimes.

If I was looking for somewhere to live then it would be more interesting I think.
An anecdote of a somewhat opposite experience with 2 cats.

One had a big personality, very outgoing with strangers, and only left family members alone go hunting[1]. The other was a bit dopey and didn't groom well.

After the superstar cat passed then the surviving cat became much more energetic, playful, and outgoing. We all commented he seemed to step into the limelight after his counterpart passed.

Still not sure if it was driven by us giving him more attention or by him "activating" and demanding more attention.

As for cats and dogs: our cat seems uninterested in our dog. But when the dogs boarded our cat walks room to room screaming until the dogs back home.

[1]i was a kid, my cat stays inside now. Sorry birds :(
Wouldn't it be better to keep the tree and its roots away from the drain? That growth might come at significant cost!
Show HN: InteractiveDemo.ai - Like Screen Studio, but web-based and interactive
Hi HN, I want to show off InteractiveDemo.ai - a web-based application for creating stunning, interactive product demos with smooth animations and AI-powered features.

I've been working on this project for over a year.

While it may share some visual similarities with desktop applications like Screen Studio, my tool offers unique capabilities:

- Web-based: Works everywhere, not limited to macOS

- Interactive demos: Embeddable via iframe or shareable links

- Beautiful pan and zoom effects that follow the cursor

- Click-triggered popovers: Add explanatory text at specific interaction points

- Synthetic voiceovers: Guide users through the demo

AI-powered features (in progress):

- Automatic pan and zoom animation

- Intelligent popover text generation based on screen content

Key features:

- Record interactive product demos

- Add animated popovers and voiceovers

- Physics-based animations for engaging visuals

- Embeddable and shareable demos

Coming soon:

- Export functionality

- Webcam recording for narration

It's meant for developers, product marketers, engineers, and customer support teams. Anyone who wants to show their products in a beautiful and compelling way.

It is in beta and free to use during the beta. The website includes a link to a Discord with about 60 current members who provide feedback on each others' projects.

I've also been building this SaaS out in public, and you can see that here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@codingbutclueless
Great video and I love this channel.

My basement flooded recently, I'm going to rent some equipment and dig drains/grade. Previous owners spent money on fixing cracks and painting foundation with stuff that always fails.

The best way to keep your basement dry is proper grade and if unable to achieve proper grade drains. It is literally that simple. This can help prevent formation of cracks and foundation problems as there is less pressure on them that way.
> Waking myself up became an hours-long ritual of energy drinks and coffee.

This doesn't really mean anything in of itself as your body will happily normalize to whatever caffeine tolerance you feed it at a regular schedule.
Great site! (though Unilever seems like a stretch, & gasoline is extremely contested).

This reminds me, my partner recently bought me some "Coffey Whiskey" because I like coffee, which led to my own discovery of another one of these (albeit one requiring a spelling oversight).
My eye doctor recommended wearing “screen glasses”. They are a small prescription (maybe 0.25 or 0.5) with blue blocking. It’s small but it does help; I work on normal glasses at night (so my eyes can rest) and contacts + screen glasses during the day and they are really close.
No, nor I want to. I know their meat actually tastes like other crustaceans. But I don't want to pretend it's just like crabmeat while ignoring crunchy chitin and organs.
I'm fine with lab grown meat as long as it matches (or exceeds) nutrients of real meat. P.s. and doesn't have foul texture
> Not really, since your chance of being a victim is divided by the number of people in the area.

Depends on behavior. If I stay in my room all day, I don't contribute to your divisor. If Jack Dorsey doesn't walk around alone past midnight, he's not absorbing the same risk quotient either.
You're saying if they see and smell the dead body of a person or animal they knew, they don't know it's permanent?
I'm a huge fan of 11-year-old CPUs. 2013 was the last year AMD released processors without the PSP. Not fit for every task, but for most general computing it's indistinguishable from the latest hardware. I like having a computer where everything is accessible. 2013 was also the last year NVIDIA released GPUs without signed firmware.
Fertilizer would be welcome, pesticides less so. Fortunately, one doesn't really need pesticides on lawns, particularly if one doesn't have a dislike of non-grass species (like clover, which helps with fertilizing anyway).
Couple comments from yesterday,
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41170567

I wish programming languages were better supported, could jump on this stuff fast & make it available. There's one dude whose been painstakingly trying to bring the underlying QUIC to node for years. There's a variety of rust options but almost no framework adoption for devs to use this.

Sure, a lot of times just turning it on at the load balanced is all you need. But I feel like getting devs excited & using this stuff, putting it in their world, is a precondition for actual excitement and change. And it just takes so so long now.

One example that has me excited, the Iggy message steaming platform, which uses QUIC (not http3) (using Quinn for quic).
Anyone who has spend significant times with animals know they are emotional and have personalities and behave just like us in some respects. Not my personal experience but stories from relatives who have from farm animals. A quick glance at #pets #animals tiktok or instagram will prove it.
Yes, cause efficient markets wirh loads of consumers eat the one thing you want to safe your empire..time to collapse shrinkes significantly if you accelerate the rate of resource consumption.
The other reason though, is why does GNU think they are so important compared to some pretty important other system components?

Why isn't it GNU/Linux/SystemD/Mesa/Xorg? Basically every Linux desktop could be described that way.
The JS ecosystem doesn't have any singular bad feature that other languages do not share.

Instead, what it does have is a huge prevalence of those features, and minimal size of a "safe space" where one can have some confidence they will not appear. Both of those are quantitative differences, that people can not summarize in a short comment, and people can easily dismiss with (misguided or dishonest) counterexamples.

So, what you are asking for is a full blown large scale study of several ecosystems. Somebody may do something like that, but not for a comment, and not because you asked.
On the bright side I sometimes sell used camera gear for more than I bought it. A combo body and lens can sell more than the items separately if marketed correctly and when including sample photos.

That said, I still haven't bought a new camera body.

Indeed. In my experience you can use whatever mappings you want. Just grab a writing script that you never type in and go ham : `<Ethiopian_B> …` (Note: made up keysym).
Nope, not drowned. He had just died laying in our bathtub.

It was a place he liked to lay normally.
Should have clarified the last sentence. If things get worse or any new symptoms come up within that 3 days start something or see a doc
Hmm, thanks. Hopefully this doesn't include the map itself. Would you kindly provide the browser / OS combo you are operating? Will try and look into this.
Depends on the workload. It certainly looks like Zen 5 will be meh for gaming build upgrades. On the other hand, these are great options for productivity and workstation builders.

Check Level1Tech's video. This would be a great generation for Epyc too.

I think they're arguing that encryption done by someone else on your behalf is not actually in your control. And if the people who do control it are beholden to the government requests, then they are not a safe option either.

I'm not deeply familiar with Apple's encryption systems, but from the other commenters here, it appears that Apple holds the keys and also controls the source code and distribution to the device. It sounds like it might be trivial for them to invalidate their own security.
Location based danger zone notifications would be helpful. "Warning: You are entering an area with a large number of reported muggings."
Fellas (and it's mainly guys, though women are affected too), if your SO is complaining about your snoring, or you're just "feeling old", get a sleep study. What this article is talking about - is stress, and that stress is slowly killing you. It was killing me. Making my blood pressure higher, making my cholesterol numbers slightly out of whack, affecting my A1C levels. Nothing terrible - but all "out of adjustment", but easily correctable with meds.

Then my doctor suggested a sleep study (my dentist had already recommended one due to my teeth grinding). I did it. Ended up getting a CPAP - and that's been a life-changer! I instantly felt at least 10-15 years younger, was able to think more clearly, my wife has been able to get good sleep. In fact, I went from being able to wake up everyone in the house with my loud snoring to my wife checking on me through the night to make sure I'm still alive because I'm now so quiet!

I absolutely love it! The machine itself is whisper quiet. I use nasal pillows instead of the face mask and it's very comfortable. Takes a couple of days to get used to, may have to adjust the settings on your unit to make it work for you, but boy is it worth it!
I believe that. It’s just that I don’t have an account and that’s all I manage to see. I couldn’t figure out where the rest is.
