Funny, when I read the title I thought it was some mental trick that involved holding a pen.

The actual idea of 'holding pens' is a good one. However, only if the contents get sorted, otherwise they will just fill up with clutter. I know people for whom this idea would lead to excuse to not put things away, they'd just put them in the holding pen and do it later. Later never comes.
The protests and counter protests basically happened independently on separate days. I haven't seen any reports of violence or disorder on the days of counter protests.

I think you have misread the situation. The police officer is noting that the instigators of the far right protest violence are probably motivated by simply wanting to cause chaos. That doesn't imply people who instigated or attended the peaceful counterprotests did. Indeed they seemed more motivated by wanting to prevent more chaos and violence.

What does "processed foods" mean? Do you eat raw food that isn't combined in any way?
> How is the performance?

Currently terrible. But we've put no effort into optimization, and build upon some pretty fast dependencies so there is potential for much better.

I suspect we'll never beat Chromium in a "fair fight", but there is potential to enable things that just aren't possible in Chrome (much more powerful canvas-like APIs for example).

Its a particle simulation, so a lot of it is memory management.

I can't remember the actual size of the simulation in terms of number of particles, but it was using something like 2 150TB fileservers to store it on.

With NVME and cheap ram, it would probably at the point where it'd be useful on a GPU.

Show HN: LLMEasyTools – Tools for LLM agents (Python lib)
A year ago I started working on a agentic RAG idea [1]. I quickly decided that I don't like the existing frameworks and started writing everything from scratch. The agentic RAG is not yet ready - but I extracted the code for dealing with function calling and published it. It is a small library for generating schemas from function signatures and for calling these functions using parameters constructed by the LLM.

There is not much code in it - but it is not as trivial as it would seem when you try to cover all the possible cases.

I think it is now quite well tested and useful.

The big difference is that EVs are designed to be charged unattended (you plug in, and go do something else). Nobody needs to be monitoring the "pumps".

Charging locations are often combined with other businesses, which means it's usually not taking new space, only converts the parking space that would have been used to park a car anyway.

Large DC fast charging installations usually have a central hub that does the expensive things (AC-DC, batteries), and then the power is distributed to simpler dispensers that do communication with the car and cooling on the car's end. The whole setup is expensive, but the number of dispensers isn't the main limiting factor. The costly limiting factor usually is the maximum power the system can deliver at once. That directly dictates the maximum throughput (number of cars they can serve over time), regardless whether that power is delivered via few fast chargers or many slower chargers. The number of dispensers cancels out in the equation.
Me too. I have used Python mostly for web stuff (lots of Django) although I have done bits of everything (ML, desktop GUI for existing code, embedded, one off little scripts, ...).

A big attraction of Python is that it can do everything. Very useful if you need more than one of the above in a single project.

On the other hand I do feel that Python has been bad for my personal development because I can always find a Python library for any and everything it has reduced my motivation to learn other languages properly (i.e. actually using them for real work - I have learned a few in theory). I have been stuck with the same main (to the point of dominance!) language for far too long.

Yes, 2 to 3 was pretty painful, although it was not too bad for me because I was mostly able to delay moving until i was sure all the libraries I used had made the transition.
Processed foods usually refers to packaged snacks, food with lots of added ingredients, corn oils, artificial ingredients, etc or fast food/junk food ordered at restaurants/fast-casual places.

have you built Blitz for others to build browsers on ?

I build Wootzapp (https://github.com/wootzapp/wootz-browser) - we are kind of like Robinhood for data labeling. people can spend time labeling web data/images, etc in the browser and earn.
Right now we are based on Chromium. Wondering if Blitz is looking to be the pluggable renderer for other browsers.

P.S. we are on the mobile (android today and ios tomorrow).

Indeed, I'm certain they will do well regradless (even in public schools!) both because I am curious and hence knowledgeable, and because they will likely be curious as well (my genetics!).

But there's one thing that curiosity doesn't help with (in fact, it's probably detrimental) - it can leave gaping holes in knowledge (you don't know what you don't know). Hence why I'm also interested in at least somewhat (or more likely) complete treatises from experts in their respective fields...

It is impossible to deny. Finnish National Bureau of Investigation retrieved the anchor. The ship was photographed arriving in Arkhangelsk with anchor missing.

Accident is possible but it would be a bizarre coincidence. All that is needed is that the ship's captain was working for Russia and got direction from nearby Russian icebreaker. The ship moved into Russian ownership afterward. It's also possible that Hainan Xin Xin Yang Shipping Co. Ltd, aka Hainan Yangpu Newnew Shipping Co. operated the ship at the time part of the Russian operation. Probably unknown to China.

Spotify constantly change their interface ever so slightly.

I personally often like the changes. I sometimes can't find things.

This is a really valid point of criticism, but not something everyone agrees is a bad thing.

> app shifts towards promoting playlists and algorithmically generated content over traditional albums

OK, this is the real reason.

I like the algorithmic recommendations.

It helps me discover electronic music which has a high similarity.

When algorithmic recommendations are not sufficient, and I have actual time on my hand to explore music, I browse the "Artists like this one..." directory, old-school style.

I mostly play "Liked songs" and explore recommendations on adventurous days.

> corporate profit over user experience

Isn't really an argument.

> feel increasingly alienated from their music, with algorithms dictating listening habits

If argument does not sound convincing, repeat the argument.

> diminishes the significance of entire albums

To be more precise, Spotify is changing the reward mechanism to favor singles over albums:

https://www.grizzlybeatz.com/lofi-hip-hop-blog/why-releasing...

I'm not convinced it's just a bad thing.

The landscape is changing.

People still make albums if they feel like it.
The idea is great, and accessible explanations of cutting edge science research is definitely something the society can benefit from. Especially to combat clickbait-y publications of some journalists who transform scientific papers into basically false claims.

But to be honest, AI-based summaries seem like a dangerous way of handling these. The danger is that the summaries, for the most part, would probably be accurate enough and well "written" so that the reader would feel confident trusting it, but it's possible for AI to come up with a completely misleading or false claim, and it'll be well hidden in the "good" content of the summary.

And then it'll take humans to check and re-check the text anyway, which feels very similar to how AI is used in software development: at some point it's counter-productive because you have to check the generated solution instead of generating it yourself.

The comments on this thread illustrate an epidemic of ignorance of basic knowledge of
macOS memory management (e.g., doing the laymen's mistake of looking at how much memory is used by applications, which is not a useful metric). At the very least you should read this article and note that this is from over a decade ago when memory management on macOS was comparatively simple https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2009-06-19-mac-os-x...

If you're not OS engineer with a specific specialization in memory management, I'd suggest just sticking to the Apple article on this subject, which explains the easy way of evaluating whether you're experiencing memory-related slow downs https://support.apple.com/guide/activity-monitor/check-if-yo...
That's precisely the source of inspiration!
The term "ideal chapter length" is not objective measurable term.
Nope. Dianne Hackbourne was a key Be developer.

You also have most of the Intent system, the Receivers and Handlers as well as a lot of the general Android API to thank Be Inc for. When you look at the Be API, you can find analogues to most of the Android API, and once you realise that a bunch of the key developers were ex-Be Inc refugees it becomes a lot harder to see what is independent development, what was influenced by and what is a straight up clone of the Be API.

And how would you test whether the collapse has taken place? This does not work. You either measure something and thereby collapse it, or you do not touch the stuff. You cannot find out via measurement whether the other side measured already.

Foods that decrease inflammation _probably_ help with arthritis; processed foods _generally_ increase inflammation, which is probably why you feel better not eating them.

For more than just anecdotes you can go to the data/studies; pubmed.gov is a great resource for finding studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=arthritis+diet

There is also nutritionfacts, which takes a science and clinical study based approach to look at how diet plays a role in a whole host of diseases and conditions: https://nutritionfacts.org/?s=arthritis

* nutritionfacts and Dr. Greger do have several vocal opponents however, so I encourage you to read the studies themselves and come to your own conclusions

Show HN: I Made a Python Flask SaaS Boilerplate for Python Users
Hey Hacker News!

I'm Zacharie, a high schooler from the United States who enjoys building microsaas projects.

While building multiple projects in the past year, I realized that the process is repetitive. In order to overcome this issue, I decided to go search for a Python Flask boilerplate, but found none.

So I built pyShip. Not only does pyShip save time for the repetitive tasks, it also creates a foundation that was never there for SaaS/microsaas beginners who are comfortable with Python.

I hope pyShip will be helpful to many and grow the community. I'm always open for your feedback.

This is the exact problem I have. No bash scripting tutorial would tell you to not use your system bash. No perl tutorial would tell you to avoid your system perl. No C tutorial would discourage using your system's gcc or clang.

As I said, a lot of the value I see in python is in its ubiquity. This disappears if you can't use the system python.

It’s really common for large corporations, with staff counsel, to lodge lawsuits they know they can’t win, because they bet their pockets are deeper, and they think they can force a settlement.

"Hotels never seize things and they don’t rummage through your stuff."

This absolutely happens today, although it is rare. Hotels have turned over a client's property from rooms or valet to police without a warrant. Some hotels will actually search your bags if you use their luggage room service. This started happening after the Vegas shooting and seems to be only a Vegas practice (or at least I haven't read articles on it happening elsewhere).
Yes, that is the false-balance logical fallacy... Which seems to be the singularity around which people are circulating in this conversation. That's not to say that popularity of a certain view can't result in the suppression of those holding an opposing view, but what people seem to forget is one of those perspectives will actually be closer to the truth than the other (except rarely, when they are both off the mark by a long shot).

There is a classification system for how processed foods are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

Under that classification, boiling potatoes counts as processing them.

Something as minor as rinsing fruit in tap water can count as processing - it could affect the lifespan of the fruit or its nutritional content.

Of course, that isn't the only definition out there.

I’m not sure what the hotel is hoping to gain here, and the argument in this thread is very weird.

The argument for this in the comments below seems to be justifying this saying that the hotel is doing safety checks because of a prior mass shooting, which was unrelated to DEFCON, or that they’re looking for “suspicious networking equipment” which none of the staff is trained on how to go find let alone even identify.

Moral implication of do not disturb aside, this seems very poorly executed and meaningless. If the management of the hotel for some reason is paranoid and doesn’t like these guests, then don’t accept their business.
This is really neat (and now I want to memorize a few combinations)

Pluggable layout algorithms are definitely something I'd like to enable in Blitz. I suspect JS for layout will be too slow in most cases. But this is an area in which we have an advantage with our API being in Rust. And our layout engine Taffy (https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy) is already highly modular.

Custom widgets would go beyond just layout and allow for fully custom layout, paint, accessibility, event handling, etc similar to a widget in a traditional GUI toolkit like GTK or Cocoa.

I also have a proposal to add a new unit to CSS itself (inspired by how many non-web UI systems do layout), which has the potential to greatly simplify web layout in the common cases https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8267. It's been on the back burner for a bit, but I should really get back to it at some point (I really want to actually implement the algorithms).

i would say calling this projection isometric is 'a relatively recent error'

in an isometric projection all the edges of an axis-aligned cube are the same length. in the axonometric projection discussed here, which is dimetric rather than isometric, the vertical edges are of length 1 while the horizontal edges are of length √(1 + ½²) ≈ 1.118

is the fact that this projection is not isometric the reason zaxxon was called zaxxon and not zisom?
I think the total number of code-names grids possible is something like 210 344 706 000, so the 40 cards (plus 4 rotations, so 160 possible grids) are only a tiny, tiny fragment of those possible.

But it does mean that defeating the bot would only mean creating a custom grid, which sounds very practical virtually, and possible (but harder) in person.
