They can't issue new numbers in bulk without revamping the system because they'd run out. The urgent fix wouldn't work.

If the system needs to be revamped, then step one should be pressure/force so that companies stop treating the numbers as secret. And if we do that we don't need new numbers anymore.
I am using 11ty for the blog, and it works great, for now. But there's two reasons I don't like it:

1. I need to have two different versions of my site, dev and prod, which I find very restricting and fragile.

2. I don't like to rely on other people updating their npm packages just so I could publish static content. I've been burned too many times by abandoned npm packages or breaking changes.

Some web sites don't want you create accounts like

when it comes to making an army of sock puppets the biggest hassle is usually doing the email verification for all the accounts. The "+" trick greatly simplifies this though if somebody is looking for trouble they sure will find it. Of course if you control your own domain you can use a wildcard but if you add 1000 users to a site from the same domain that is obvious too.
I once had an engineer push changes directly to production because they were confident that they would do it correctly.

In fact, they were completely misguided about their own accuracy because they had systematically ignored or not understood the errors that they had made in the past.

> For one, the bays don't look like thermokarsts

But they also don't look like craters? They don't look so dissimilar from thermokarsts, but craters really as a rule are circular.

> the bays look like they "aim" at the impact sites

Hey I'm just curious, did you look at the photos I posted? I know I wrote quite a bit, did you see where I raised questions about this specifically?

See this section from the Wiki article on the Carolina bays:

> Modern thermokarst lakes are common today around Barrow (Alaska), and the long axes of these lakes are oblique to the prevailing wind direction.

Are they "aiming at the impact site" or are they "oblique to the direction of the prevailing winds?" They look parallel to me. Wind is parallel in a local area. Shot from a nearby airburst is radial, and very much not parallel. Shot from a faraway airburst might be parallel, but you won't be able to tell because it'll produce circular craters, which isn't what we have.

> Can you tell me more about them?

Only what's in the YDIH Wikipedia article.

I mean, we know about a different phenomenon that was going on that has a tendency to form lakes and pour huge amounts of freshwater into the oceans, right? Do we really have to assert that this comet exists in order to arrive at a plausible explanation? If not, then why are we bringing in the comet?
As the essay and this discussion repeatedly try to emphasize, thinking of Markdown as a "superset of HTML" is missing the point - it is meant to be read. It has both meaningful and collapsible whitespace, and both allows and encourages uses of whitespace that only have a significant effect on source readability.

...Arguably, the reason HTML has collapsible whitespace is to allow writing readable source, and once upon a time it was more common to see HTML produced in a way that didn't get in the way of this (e.g. paragraphs and indentation indicated primarily via whitespace with only opening `<p>` and `<li>` tags). But that ship sailed; tooling long ago coalesced around more rigid conventions, and thus the need for Markdown emerged. Throwing those advantages away raises the question of why bother using Markdown at all.

Sure, if you want to re-wear those sweat soaked shirts and pants you wore while it was 33 degrees celsius outside, be my guest. I’ll take clean ones.

Sure we could wash less if we really wanted to, but it just doesn’t signify. The washer uses like 40L of water over 30m of runtime and then it’s done. We hang the clothes (and towels) outside, and by evening everything is fresh.

The shower runs at about 10L a minute. I think you can see how the washing quickly becomes irrelevant, and the shower needs to be heated too, unlike the washer.

Show HN: AirCMP – Use Cloudflare Workers to Enhance Airbnb Search
Hey HN,

I’m excited to share AirCMP, a Chrome extension I’ve been working on to make searching for Airbnb listings smoother. The idea came from my own frustration with comparing listings manually, so I set out to create something that could help.

How I Built It:

• Frontend: I used Vite for a fast and efficient development experience and Remix to handle the routing and UI logic.
• Backend: The backend is hosted on Cloudflare Pages with Cloudflare Workers handling serverless functions. Cloudflare Workers were a great choice for me because they allow for quick, scalable functions close to the user, and they work seamlessly with Pages.

Review Insights with GPT-4o-mini:
One of the key features of AirCMP is the Review Insights. To make the review data more accessible, I integrated GPT-4o-mini to automatically extract the most relevant benefits and drawbacks from guest reviews. This means that instead of sifting through countless reviews, you can see the key takeaways right on the listing page.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. If you have any suggestions for improvement or run into any issues, please let me know. I’m still actively working on it and would appreciate any insights from the community.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

The quote is followed immediately by this: "It extends naturally to equations with coefficients *in any field*, but this will not be considered in the simple examples below." Emphasis on 'in any field' is mine. Among the other fields that can be considered include the Galois fields, which are another name for finite fields. (There are also infinite fields other than the rationals, so 'in any field' does not just mean Galois fields/finite fields.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

Galois fields have nothing to do with being able to represent rational numbers in a computer: elements of a finite field aren't even rational numbers.

Don't modern operating systems turn off the screen after X period of inactivity by default? And the screensaver kicks in a bit before that? I may be wrong...

But turning the screen off/on takes a few seconds and is annoying if it accidentally happens while you're reading or watching something. A screensaver is a good visual cue that can be easily reversed by shaking the mouse.

Ultimately users can set them to whatever they want. What's the problem? There's always a trade-off between convenience and energy savings. Turning the display off still takes a few seconds, so does recovering from sleep or hibernation.

I know it's not as popular or sexy as it used to be, but the whole point of a foundation like Apache was to avoid these situations, even more than the way the Linux Foundation is setup. Apache _explicitly_ manages projects to avoid these downsides.

- Single corporation ownership. Projects cannot get out of the Incubator unless they demonstrate a diverse and healthy community. That doesn't mean popular, it doesn't necessarily mean best-in-class, but it means that there shouldn't be just one entity backing a project.

- Membership in Apache is _personal_ not a seat for a given company. If you're a committer on an Apache project and you move jobs, you're _still_ a committer on that project

- The Foundation owns the trademarks. There have been fights about this in the past, but the whole idea is that the _community_ owns the name, so some corporation can't claim to be the sole or official owner by naming their company or product after the open source product.

The core premise of the Apache Software Foundation is community over code, that healthy, diverse communities have a better chance of standing the test of time than open source projects backed by a single individual or company. That's the thesis at least.

The is starkly different from several other foundations, notably the Linux Foundation or Eclipse Foundation which are modeled more around industry consortiums.

Both models have their place, but I believe Apache better models the core values many of us feel strongly about when it comes to free and open source software.

>making it so every application and its dependencies have to be compiled twice in development: once for Mix and once for the Language Server. Wouldn’t it be nice if Elixir and the Language Servers could all rely on the same compilation artifacts?

>This is not news to the Elixir team either: almost every Elixir release within the last 3 years has shipped new code analysis APIs, such as Code.Fragment, with the goal of removing duplication across Language Servers, IEx, and Livebook, as well as reduce their reliance on internal Elixir modules. Most recently, Elixir v1.17 shipped with new APIs to help developers emulate the compiler behaviour.

Looks very cool!

Looking at the docs gives a good overview of how it works.

Regarding transpilation and the tradeoffs (https://skip.tools/topic/transpilation-tradeoffs/), does the limitation of certain Swift features cause any significant friction with using parts of SwiftUI or other core libraries?

Wondering how much those (understandable) limitations on the transpilation limit what a random iOS dev might be able to do compared to what they can do in iOS land.

Also, using SwiftUI cross-platform makes me think that many android libraries would be a no-go.

One of the reasons that Xamarin development was painful (other than the numerous bugs in trying to target 2 foreign platforms) was that you couldn't _really_ utilize the large native ecosystems of either platform, and you would end up spending a lot of time "rewriting" libraries in dotnet.

Drug prices aren’t a zero sum game.

Drugs and software are very similar economically, high upfront cost and then almost zero marginal cost afterwards.

The prices private insurance pays will not be impacted because there are is not some huge margin that needs to be made up and insurance companies also negotiate prices.

Letting pharmaceutical companies extract unlimited tax dollars from Medicare is an insane idea.

At first I thought this was about setting up Kubernetes clusters, but that is not what this is about at all. The cluster is just providing resources, the actual thing here is multiple environments within that cluster. So you might have your chain of services (frontends, backends, event based services) and instead of duplicating all of them you somewhat nest them blue-green style in the same cluster.

In theory you could just use ingress and a special URL to deploy a single service as a special one-off deviation, but when you want to have an entire chain of services adjusted for a separate virtual environment that no longer works (unless you duplicate all services and rewrite all dependant service URLs for example).

Pi is the "the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle in Euclidian space". Everyone agrees that. What people are arguing is that when you have a circle in non-Euclidian space, so that the ratio of it's circumference to diameter is different, do we still call this new ratio Pi.

Most people would argue that we don't. They say "the ratio is not Pi" rather than "Pi is a different value".
How are climate activists, especially just stop oil, so misguided?
It’s good as a thought experiment to think through why we don’t see signals, but that’s about it. The Wikipedia page lists plenty of reasonable hypotheses to explain. Heck, even the explanation of the paradox itself indicates a huge problem in the radio transmissions search:

> The most sensitive radio telescopes on Earth, as of 2019, would not be able to detect non-directional radio signals (such as broadband) even at a fraction of a light-year away,[49] but other civilizations could hypothetically have much better equipment.

So we don’t even have equipment that could detect equivalent passive signals from our planet in the nearest other solar system. And our planet is increasingly not emitting loud broadband signals instead preferring fiber optics and point to point links for bandwidth and efficiency reasons (+ encryption).

I have yet to find anyone who believes that the Fermi paradox is real who bothers to offer a justification that doesn’t rely on assumptions about FTL or completely ignore the practical challenges of we’re not even seriously looking and don’t really know what to look for let alone the serious practical challenges that interstellar travel could be a huge barrier since we don’t even have a counter that such travel is indeed possible (eg even our furthest probe which required a confluence of orbital mechanics to make that speed possible in the first place would need to travel ~500x longer just to reach the nearest solar system).

I’m glad insulting me makes you feel good but pointing me at convincing counter arguments to theist basic practical counter arguments might be a better use of time if you found any that are so obviously compelling.
I think that's a bit reductive. It's possible to have a CLA because you want to sell a non-GPL version of your app to some corporation that's worried about the legalities of the license. This is an additional revenue stream that open-source projects make use of, and it's not fair to say "any project with a CLA is selling out."

There's this balance between being a project forever run out of someone's garage and actually growing into a larger and more used system. I'd say the line is dilineated by many factors: who is the project's primary user? Enterprise? Devs? How much money is changing hands? What's the business model? Is there investment involved? How restrictive is the primary license? How restrictive is the CLA?

I think any open-source project that has aspirations to actually make money for the creators is shooting themselves in the foot without a CLA. And it's fine to judge them for this, but we live in a system where people have to extract value out of this shit even if it's against their ethos.

If people truly and ultimately believe in open-source, then the most logical conclusion is that capitalism does not allow for open source and that must be changed. Fighting things at the license level can only delay the inevitable. But people want to have their cake and eat it too: "I want the system to stay the same AND I want open-source creators to keep pumping out stuff for free forever."
