I prefer smaller channels (because they feel more "human" if you know what I mean), and their authors spend a lot of time engaging with the audience. Discussion is actually useful, you can learn something from YouTube comments. Yes, that YouTube.

Just step outside the highly commercialized part and you'll be surprised.
That's the traditional course of action. As long as it's financially sound they will at least try it.

At that point making smaller patterns might not be the biggest issue. Vias are becoming s bottleneck and proven to be hard to scale down. If we cannot fibd a new way to open vias reliably and with low resistence it will be bottleneck for scaling down.

My company "inherited" some medium-sized Ruby on Rails codebase, and OMG what an abomination it is. Everything is "magic", everything is implicit and to find out what does what is horrible. I've done Ruby development in the past (production API with Sinatra) and it was OK, but I'll never start a "real life" project in Rails.
I have one of those at home in the UK, in fact I only recently changed the older unit that was getting long in the tooth. The house is old and an electric shower the only way to have a proper shower. I also have a shower extension, a rubber tube with two inputs you connect to the hot and cold taps in the bath tub and which outputs cold water if you hold it lower than the taps and hot water if you keep it above the taps, but never a mix of the two.

For those who don't know, the sinks and bathtubs in UK homes and businesses often have two completely separate taps: one for hot, one for cold. You're supposed to fill the sink with water from both and "wash" your hands (or your dishes) in it. No, you don't rinse them afterwards. It's just soap, it's good for you.

Nothing you said makes sense. Celebrating black abortion as a victory ignores that an entire generation of black babies were annihilated in the name of "progress".

If you purchase an edible “power bar” anywhere (not just America) you can be sure it has and can provide no power. It might have a little energy stored as a carbohydrate though.
BitTorrent uses something called a "distributed hash table", for which there exist services to search it (btdig, etc). You can use one of those alongside the torrent name (NPD) to find it.

I haven't downloaded it, but my understanding is that the data comes compressed and with a (weak) password.
i'm pretty sure that the electric showers i've used didn't have the sealed magnesia insulating layer you're describing, nor were they connected to an rcd/gfci

i do agree that the measures you're describing would make them much safer

> See how long they last with most of their customers pissed off.

I suspect Netflix will last a shorter amount of time with their customers pissed off than the ISPs will last with their customers pissed off.

Personally, I have lots of ISP choice. I can have 80/15 VDSL with consistent speed and latency (22ms to nearest internet exchange), I can use Starlink which is supposed to be pretty reasonable bitrate and 15-50 ms latency, I can use 5G/LTE residential internet with actually good speeds but terrible buffer bloat, or I can pay about $30k to get municipal fiber and a monthly cost above DSL and 5G. No cable for me, Comcast says it's too expensive, even though I'm confident they're on the pole at the corner of the property.

I committed to fiber recently, because a neighbor is doing it for their lots which the phone company refuses to service at all, and sharing construction costs means this is the best deal I'll get. And the trenching company came by and said they'll do directional drilling to get under my driveway so it won't be a big mess. But I don't think any 'normal' people in my situation would ever switch from DSL. If Netflix wants to play the blackout games, there's lots of other streaming services to pick from.
Is this the same rumor Mark Gurman has parroted time and time again?

Yes.
Definitely go for it! And let me know how I can help you to make it a little bit less overwhelming
Hot take: maybe that is actually desirable? If insurance has a plethora of good actuarial information and risk modeling, and one's insurance costs are high, that's the market telling that person that they probably shouldn't be driving. If high insurance costs promote alternate means of transportation for highly risky drivers, that's a net win for everyone on the road.
But that's shows the problem, right?

If management ends up interfering, and since Agile is supposed to be "about people", and management is people, Agile seems to be just as prone to mismanagement as other practices/principles, right?

I didn't mean that within a small team it doesn't work. I think there is merit to lowercase-a agile. But if capital-A Agile -- which is supposedly all about communication* -- fails to communicate with upper management, then where does that leave us?

“When I was a kid, I didn’t need to study. So I never learned how to study, and that persisted even in my academic and professional career.”

Same here. I remember getting verbally angry with my dad because he told me to study for an upcoming test and I just couldn't comprehend why it would be beneficial to sit there, bored as hell, re-reading things I already know.
Netflix doesn’t have the leverage anymore. If people start having problems with it, even when caused by ISPs, people will just subscribe to Disney or Max or whatever. Long gone are the days where they can perform such grandstanding.
Sorry but this is completely wrong.

Passwords are not device dependent. Save for some user-hostile enterprise environments that try to implement passwords without letting user "see" them, you can store passwords on any medium, with as many copies as you deem necessary, and use them however you want.

Passwords are vendor independent. They're just a shared secret piece of information, there is nothing whatsoever that can even theoretically tie them to any provider. My "hunter2" secret is not and cannot be held hostage by Apple or Google or 1Password or anyone else.

Passkeys in their current state lack both of those properties. If the Passkey committee would've explicitly made it in the spec that: 1) any compliant non-HSM-backed Passkeys SHOULD be exportable in a standardized text-based container format; 2) any compliant Passkey implementation MUST be capable of importing passkeys in the same standardized container format; 3) any compliant Passkey accepting service MUST provide means to authenticate via a QR code, Bluetooth connection, or, in absence of either, MUST provide a way for a manual fido:/ URI input as a last-resort measure; and lastly 4) there must be no way to distinguish between a hardware and software based Passkey - all those issues would be solved. But that's not happening.
Alternatively, the service is unsuitable to be run for-profit and yet needs to exist, it should be run by the government.
Plotting to liberate JSTOR is likewise fair and reasonable :)
dishwashers normally dry the dishes by heating them with an electric heating element; this is more likely to damage electronics than the water

there are also some electronic components that won't deal well with water, especially strong streams of water. microphones and speakers come to mind, because they commonly include exposed paper, thin membranes, and sponges. i'm thinking an ocxo would also be a problem both because overheating it can cause rapid aging and hysteresis and because drying out the fibrous insulation is going to be hard
It is Australian. So, just a few generations removed from the inmates and it is found desirable.
Is the compensation “just,” though? Seems like an awfully round number to be the result of a fair-minded analysis.

The Affordable Care Act mechanism always struck me as one somewhat fair way to do it: the insurers set a price for a more-or-less well-defined product in a well-defined market. They compete with each other on that price, then the government achieves its desired social effects by subsidizing low-income insureds in proportion to that commercially-derived price.

Just saying “well, insurance is $5 now” seems less convincingly fair to the people doing the work to deliver the service. And rather less sustainable in the long run.
I wrote my comment on the premise that "why can't a cardholder lie and claim they never accrued the debt [on a specific card]". If an investigator analyzes all purchases from the card and finds many of the purchases were things you took possession of, or hotels you stayed at, etc, that's evidence against the liar who falsely claimed to be a victim of so-called 'identity theft'. It's very hard to launder purchases without some trail leading back to you.
Genuinely curious what part you think is 'very bad'? Maybe it's not all optimal, but very bad doesn't seem like what he's pushing. Admittedly it's been a long time since I've listened to him, but I have a couple friends who followed his methods and are in much better financial shape now.
As is true for many hard alcohols, you typically get what you pay for when it comes to Baijiu. Moutai Prince is terrible compared to Moutai but the difference is not in the immediate flavor. It’s mostly in the after taste.

Baijiu has many different taste categories. Moutai and the like are known as “Jiang Xiang” which roughly translates to Soy flavor. That’s the umami you’re referring to and it’s an acquired taste.

I find Wuliangye to be more approachable to beginners because it sits in the “Nong Xiang” category and tastes more floral. It’s not cheap but that’s where I recommend newer Baijiu drinkers to start.

Someday, but I think we're still a way off.

Regarding your interaction with the doctor, I completely understand both sides, and I can guarantee he was well aware of the small risk of tendon weakening.

People usually want their physician to do "something", otherwise what's the point of going? This puts them in a no-win scenario. A single cortisone injection provides immediate relief, with a very small chance of side effects. If he doesn't offer it, people will complain about him being useless. If he does, some patients will think he's incompetent.

I'd find it exhausting having to second guess every interaction.
I thought the ISPs already got 400 billion for expansion, they ended up keeping the money, and not following through.

That's a very interesting theory, but in the context of generations couldn't frailty and appearances associated with frailties be advantages that outweigh occasional post reproductive death when too many combine?

If we were more like sharks and grand parents were larger, more intimidating, and almost always able to maintain status via direct physical confrontation, I kind of wonder how grand relationships would look, whether there would be larger chaos in generational changes with longer over shadowed generations, etc.
Neat! I've never heard that one, will definitely add it to my vocab

I'm not sure how Patreon will explain things to their creators, but no matter what the effect will be similar; about 30% less income for Patreon and creators alike.

According to App Store rules, you're not allowed to disclose the App Store fee to users. So Patreon is not allowed to explain to users that 30% is going to Apple, nor to explain that there are other options. I'm not sure if Apple regulates messaging to creators as well.
I know that Foo and Frobulator and so on have history in code examples, but I personally find examples with them require more careful reading than examples built on real concepts.

When I learned about Rails a long time ago I thought the idea of MVC, scaffolding, creating the database, code and frontend that works, i.e. a basic application was genius, but hasn't quite caught on it seems.

Communities for RoR or Microsoft MVC could have created templates for all kinds of applications, and parameters with best-practice implementations of useful stuff like "jwt webtoken" could have been added and maybe implemented to work across different application templates?

Maybe there are good reasons why this is not feasible on a fundamental, technical level, but maybe that's just a path not travelled, as the open source spirit fizzled out and people tried for their own unicorn app.
Good to start bad to inherit.

I think the key is that ruby is good for kickstarting a business and getting it to a state where the business runs with high execution speed and minimal effort.

Once the business is operational and stable then continuing from there is bad. Usually you will have to change the entire stack and of course from certain perspectives this can be seen as a lack of foresight.

But if you chose to use another technology to start it could be that the speed of execution just wasn't fast enough and your business never reaches that island of stability because the technology just wasn't fast enough.
Conversely, is it really a good thing that our corporations are more powerful than our (supposedly democratic) government? They're not subject to the same checks and balances of elected government, and can leave pretty negative impacts on everything from technology to society to the environment to, at a certain scale, history itself. Meta and X at this point really hold more social power through selective propaganda than most governments in the world, arguably including ours. They have powers of amplification and reeducation that our formal schools and universities could only dream of. They also have economic war chests rivaling many countries and militaries, and increasingly control much of our infrastructure across land, air, radio, and now space. The end goal of any such corporation is always monopoly control unless some outside force stops them. Competition alone won't prevent that because they'll eventually just get acquired or become a duopoly.

Maybe China goes too far in the direction of state control, but it's possible to go too far in the opposite direction too. IMO the EU has a better balance in this regard.
I read it more as a source of strategic insights, but of course, it's not a list of startup ideas ready to be executed. No one has that, everyone is figuring things out.
Sounds more like an issue on cloud flare or whatever server Google is hitting.

It should return 429 so Google can reduce the requests.

I'm not even sure why you would rate limit in the first place? IPS are not unique. One company gateway or university for example has plenty of users.

Rate limit requests from users you know and make sure every public API is properly cached.

That line struck me - as an example of innumeracy, or at least misunderstanding of tests. Or maybe it was willful ignorance intended to sound more shocking than it is.

That's called "taking", and is unconstitutional unless there is just compensation. And "they're not using it, so the value is 0" is not just compensation.
It’s an old used Lenovo workstation. It has a some kind of quad-core Intel processor but can’t usefully transcode from h.265 at all (no hardware support, I assume) and is bad at most other codecs at resolutions above 720p or so. Even transcoding within its limits seems to tax it, so I doubt it could maintain two transcodes at once in any case—we sometimes have three streams going, or one or two plus someone playing on its Minecraft server, and it can keep up with all that just fine, but transcoding’s out.

I’ve even seen it turn into a slideshow remuxing original video with transcoded audio. It’s not very capable.
It implies completely lack of knowledge that something like that already exists, predating Rust by a few decades.

The contexts where it pops up, it is as if it would be yet to come, such language.

Speaking of C and BCPL, indeed we do, because many wrongly believe in this urban myth, that without them there was nothing else as high level systems programming languages, even though JOVIAL came to be in 1958, followed by ALGOL and PL dialects, Bootstrap CPL was never planned to be used beyond that purpose, and there was a rich research outside Bell Labs in systems programming in high level languages.

Instead we got stuck with something that 50 years later are still trying to fix, with Rust being part of the solution.

> It really just smacks of greed and nothing else... selling cars has a long history of being a profitable business on its own. You don't need to steal your customers' data to turn it into another revenue stream, but it sure looks good on a financial report.

Its not only greed, its also a race to the bottom. If you're GM, you might prefer not doing that, but if your competition starts doing that, then you're at a competitive disadvantage, because they'll have more money to invest in engineers/production optimization, etc. So the logic then goes that you might as well do it first.

This is a case where you need government regulations to enforce mutual disarmament.

I spent a whole night worried about electric hazards when the meat smoker killed an outlet outside my basement door. My wife's aunt, an electrician, asked if we checked the GFCI. I had read about it online, but didn't find the switch near any of the outside outlets. Nor was it by any of the inside outlets on the opposite side of the wall from the outside ones. Turns out, it was in the upstairs bathroom. Because why not?

These have been in flagship consumer models for years now, and gradually drifting down into more mid-high level road bikes. Still talking about the $2k+ range but totally normal in the kind of bike your dentist or, frankly on HN, your coworkers, ride.
Until the mandatory requirement (SHOULD-level at the minimum) for compliant password^W passkey managers is that passkeys' keypairs must be user-accessible - it's just a pinky swear from corporate that "it's going to work" while they're effectively holding your credentials hostage. I can promise you that it's NOT really going to work as soon as you'll need to do something just slightly outside of the happiest path. Like logging in from an untrusted machine in a Internet Cafe.

Exceptions for hardware-based solutions (like Yubikey) are acceptable and reasonable, as long as there is a ban on implementing any attestation anti-features.

Current spec and official demo sites doesn't even require or suggest that multiple Passkeys must be a thing. A significant number of actual real-world implementations are extremely user-hostile (check BestBuy for an example).
I think you would have to be living under a rock to not have competitive awareness of apple while living in silicon valley or another tech hub.

You can get all the awareness you need from using the competitors product as a daily driver for a couple weeks, instead of using it 24/7 and being totally unaware of the problems using your own product that only crop up after heavy use.
I've extensively looked into the research on the dyes themselves and it's all incredibly suspect. There are a lot of low quality studies as well as a lot of correlation between food dyes and things like income and electronic use and etc. I don't personally believe any of the supposed health risks of modern colorings are worth the worry.

But ironically, the whole point of food coloring is to create strong emotional responses with a minimum amount of ingredients. So psychosomatic feelings from kids and parents... is kind of the point! The health effect of the ingredient could mostly be irrelevant.

So I think the case to ban artificial colors on the grounds of manipulation is stronger than it is purely health.

SiMin: Markdown for Numbers
Hi HN,

I've been increasingly frustrated by the limitations of standard number inputs, especially when dealing with large values or numbers with units. Most applications simply provide a basic number box, which falls short in many scenarios.

To address this, I've created SiMin, a lightweight format for writing and parsing big numbers using SI prefixes with an emphasis on readability.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
In general, can timing attacks on a vulnerable implementation be prevented if sonething else guarantees the operation takes constant time?

For example, if I add a sleep after a non-constant-time operation to ensure it always takes 1s, would that prevent timing attacks? At least with this you can use a faster algorithm, and let the OS do useful work with the rest of the time.
