> A soundbar doesn't have any of those problems, is usually the cheaper option, and still sounds much better than built-in speakers.

The specific problem here seems to be that soundbars have gone actively backward over time.

I had an old JBL soundbar whose only issue was that it had no Bluetooth security. This meant that someone in the apartment complex would randomly connect to it and blast us with 900 decibels of whatever they were watching--generally at 7:30AM.

So, we went searching for a replacement. We must have listened to every soundbar available at retail.

They were all expensive and all sucked--none of them were better than that 10 year old JBL.

Eventually we opted for a sound system that was not particularly cheap. And my wife still complains that it doesn't sound any better than the old soundbar we replaced. And she is correct.
Personally it was because I was staring down a career of making endless CRUD apps and became disillusioned. I read all those cool data science articles in the 2010s and thought it was way more interesting. Joke's on me though, now I'm still disillusioned and a data scientist.

Almost nobody is buying exclusively-zoned property for racist reasons. But the availability of those properties under those terms is an intended consequence of racist decisions, and so it is fair to re-evaluate whether it's reasonable for those terms to be enforced by the state's monopoly on violence. I say that in most exclusively-zoned areas in or near urban cores, the clear answer to that question is "no": most of what's single-family zoned today should be upzoned to fourplexes. That argument is easy to make on the merits: there's a real (and rippling) cost to maintaining single-family zones near cities, and the benefits accrue to a fortunate few.

I say this as someone who owns an extremely and multivalently single-family property, the only property I own, and is working actively and primarily on upzoning that specific area. I have neighbors that would say what you're saying: you bought into wherever you live based on the promise that the state would commit arms to preventing any of your neighbors from admitting too many new residents. My response, when we succeed: "we are altering the deal."
Even if one were to grant your assumptions (which I would challenge) you still end up positing a false dichotomy/dilemma. You might rightfully say that you cannot think of a third possible outcome of your highly specific and one dimensional constructed situation but that does not mean there are precisely two possible cases.

As the most trivial example off the top of my head, I cannot imagine any situation remotely close to what you are suggesting without war. I don't think the cost of the precursors to fertilizer will stop Western countries from taking it.

At any rate, the idea that the nail in the coffin of our society will be our inability to produce fertilizer seems an unlikely and remote possibility. I'm not saying that there is no path to that outcome (we could probably spend all day making up scenarios where that is a possible outcome), it just seems rather unlikely.

- but neither would it be an attempt to demean everyone who suffers from a learning disability. It would, instead, be an affirmation that low intelligence is an undesirable quality.

At least some of these efforts were supposedly related to Sony's attempts at getting various Playstation models classified as computers instead of video game consoles for import tariff or tax reasons.

While the tariff classification plot never seems to have worked out, Sony did also around the same time apparently succeed in creating a perception of the PS2 as being so dangerously fast as to needing export controls as a munition(!): https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-pixel-9-pro-xl-vs-samsu...

With the PS3, both attempts eventually succeeded, but in a way that backfired at Sony gloriously: The US Navy actually did end up using the PS3 as a supercomputer! https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomput...

The only problem: They were selling the console as a loss leader, making money only via games and game licenses. Once somebody had finally taken them up on their "it's a computer, not just a game console!", they were very quick to remove the "Other OS" boot capability in a firmware retroactively.
Being from the EU for me all trains are electric (except many in Germany only) so I do not feel any special excitement but observe a thing: the idea of all wagon individually powered is ancient, very ancient, like monorails. Both ideas never get spread simply because they are too expensive instead of cheap, in practice.

Electric motors are not expensive as diesel one, they are much more compact etc etc etc but are still much more expensive than a simple wagon without any engine. Meanwhile a larger electric locomotive it's still fast (for instance France TGV, Japan Shinkansen etc) and hyper-fast accelerations are not much welcomed by passengers, so it sound extra added complexity for little to no return. Something not different than some modern tram projects (city buses with electric motors, no battery, and a special trolley to allow get dedicated aerial electricity while rolling on wheels) that in theory sounds good (much less expensive in capex than create new rails in cities) but in practice have so much problems and costs that they are abandoned or will not be replaced because of that.

For my little experience USA rails are much older than most EU ones (meaning, they are much less upgraded) and while that's might sound bad from some "modern" people actually IMVHO it is not much because so far ALL RAILS prove too be simply too costly for most usages, only some freight-only rails are effectively interested, passengers ones can't survive without big public contributions while offering a good service. The Swiss choose to waste an immense amount of resources to keep the service level high, pushing nearly empty trains around, all other countries tend to scale back (while formally state the contrary).
Try that with a HiDPI screen :)
You can also use `minmax(min-content, max-content)` for the center col: (https://jsfiddle.net/y193p2b6/).

But this does not keep the center col exactly centered, but it does allow the content to take the free white space and then wrap when needed.

Yep, I know about GitHub Issues and the similar features in GitLab and Forgejo. What I have in mind would build atop those, not replace them (analogous to how the higher project management features in those and Jira build atop an issue/task-tracking system).

What I have in mind has a different and narrower emphasis than Linear.app, and hopefully would do the main thing it does much better. (Yet another reason I don't want to do enterprise sales initially -- I'd lose all the org chart stakeholders feature checklist deathmatches. I have to sell it word-of-mouth, to founders/PMs/TLs who appreciate the focus, and who have small-purchase company credit cards.)

For user data, what you suggest would work, if I modify the initial functionality slightly. I don't want customer data flowing through my servers, but I could serve up JS app/pages from my servers, with the browser making the data requests to GitHub/etc. directly. (Future functionality might need code running separate from any browser.) And should be easy to package up for customers who want that server part on-prem. The greatly reduced friction -- to some PM suddenly deciding to try it as they're wrangling the project at 4:30pm, and be up and running in a minute -- seems well worth contorting the functionality a little. Thanks!

Show HN: Feeedy – A messenger-style note-taking app
Hey there HN!

Happy to share a piece of my labor I've been working on for the past 6 months.

The idea for the app came to me when I found out that taking notes in Telegram saved messages and private channels is pretty convenient, but it became a mess real quick. Imagine accidentally sending your to-do list to your boss? And there were no work-related stuff, haha

So I decided to solve this pain point of mine by creating a little app, just as a side project.

But then I lost my job due to a layoff, so I decided to triple down on my idea, polish it, and make it a SaaS in the hope of making it somewhat profitable if I'm lucky enough, of course.

It's been 3 months of non-stop work, hundreds of liters of Red Bull and coffee, failed job interviews, then even more Red Bull and coffee, sleepless nights, and here we are. I'm finally ready to show it to the world.

Of course, I keep my hopes pretty low and I'm being realistic with myself. Like, come on, it's just notes, who am I going to impress?

Anyway, any questions, feedback, and ideas are more than welcome, and I'll be happy to discuss everything with you guys!

The Roman engineers had to adjust to local conditions all the time.

Well, it all started with a little thing called Ubuntu Netbook Edition around 2008 or 9, can't remember. People wanted to experiment with different user interfaces and experiences for your core environment to see if they could make UX workflows better, make better use of display real estate, make things more ergonomic, etc. Eventually, the netbook edition environment because Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment, and gnome2 became Gnome3 with similar sorts of interface ideas.

It didn't matter that nobody liked the new interfaces. It was dismissed by developers as "people are resistant to change", and that really was the beginning of this paradigm that developers know better than users what they need and the world we now live in of tolerating what is available and people being herded into behaviors by UX designers.

A lot of other decisions have been made to fundamentally change the Linux experience since then as a result of the normalization of this, the most popular init system, systemd, subverted our existing ones, we have all kinds of deviations from the Unix way, and some are good I think but generally, administering a Linux system went from something a single person could do and understand the entire system in their head to something that requires continuing education and niche specialization. Systems evolve, yes, but Linux is basically fundamentally different than it was in those days, it's still got the monolithic kernel and the basic Unix like structure, but managing a system is now much more complex than it used to be.

I don't think I know anyone who uses gnome. If you're just trying to get the usual desktop type experience you're used to, you can use KDE, XFCE, MATE (which is a fork of gnome2), I recently checked out LXDE and found it to be utterly fantastic so far, it usually looks 95-ish out of the box but themed it looks nice and modern. If I were to recommend a "normal" desktop with a full suite of basic software I'd recommend that. Or, you can build something from components, that's what I usually do these days since DEs come with a lot of stuff I don't need, I like Wayland so I use either labwc for the classic desktop windowing and stuff, or sway for tiling and I'll tell you, tiling is where it's at once you get the hang of it. Those mobile phone looking full-of-extra-steps-to-get-to-anything environments like what youre talking about are absolute trash as far as I'm concerned.

In my very middle class suburban neighborhood in Gilbert, you are definitely an outlier if you don’t have a pool. If I look at an aero google map of my street and the street on both sides of mine there are 18 houses out of 91 that don’t appear to have pools. A few of them have so much tree cover that I can’t tell if there is a pool or not so I counted those as a no.
> Maybe the more relevant question is how was it done before? Did the old train also have slowly-extending steps?

Fixed, non-moving stairs. IIRC, the bombardier model was 2 steps (one step up to a metal stair, one more step into car) and fairly easy, and the older gallery models were a bunch of stairs and a pretty steep climb.

> How is it handled in other countries with functional train networks?

Level boarding, no? IIRC NYC's commuter rail is level boarding within The City (but not further out like CT) and, e.g., the more subway-y line of the T in Boston are level boarding, but those are subway. (I don't recall the MBTA's commuter rail, but I suspect it isn't, or isn't everywhere.)

Just a side note: "The Well-Tempered Clavier" is not at all the same as the "Equally Tuned Piano".

Bach was certainly aware of the equal tuning, where all intervals were the same. It had been used on lutes for some centuries. But with harpsichords, and to some extent pipe organs, an equal temperament was not what Bach or his contemporaries wanted - it didn't have a single pure interval!

To further expound on why snorkeling and freediving after scuba can be dangerous, it is helpful to understand that the greatest gas compression occurs in the first 10 meters underwater (Boyle’s law). Scuba divers are trained to ascend slowly (~10m/minute) in order to off-gas expanding nitrogen (and other gasses) and prevent bubbles from forming in tissue (which causes decompression illness). After scuba diving the human body still has a much higher residual nitrogen saturation, so even fairly shallow (less than 10m) rapid descents/ascents in the water column can cause bubbles to form.
The Net Yaroze had similar limitations. You couldn't access the disc drive, so all of your game's data had to live inside your executable binary, which needed to fit in RAM. It was hobbyist hardware, not intended to compete with actual dev kits, which were ISA cards that contained real PlayStation hardware, which you would slot into your PC.
I don't get this behavior. Is it not common sense that you don't poop directly in the ocean or in the water, but a little further up from water banks where there is dirt in a hole in the ground? What am I missing?

We need to education about poop compost boxes. These are 30"x30"x30" boxes used as commodes. Add some dirt. Mix dirt every time someone uses it. Liquids seep out via a tube into the system. Majority of particles remain in the box. Use refuse later for gardening.

>Someone with some kind of reason-- whether it's being funny, selling a product, or wanting to say things in a way that doesn't offend someone else-- coins them, and then depending upon the overall zeitgeist they become heavily used or fall into disfavor.

Sure. The point is that reasonable people can believe that the zeitgeist is absurd, or that the use of terms doesn't actually reflect popular opinion (perhaps you've heard terms like "preference falsification" or "filter bubble").

> The use of gender neutral language as a favored practice has been largely settled in English style guides everywhere since I was a small child, and I am old. To a pretty big portion of the population, "chairman" sounds dated.

I don't understand how you reconcile your argument with the fact that many people insist that using terms like, say, "patriarchy" to describe all that is wrong with the world - or "toxic masculinity" to describe the supposedly harmful effects on men of behaving according to their social stereotypes, but "internalized misogyny" to describe the supposedly harmful effects for women doing the same - is not evidence of bias against men.

> Once upon a time the singular "they" was widely accepted and used... now people want to tell us using "they" to describe a person of undetermined gender...

There is a rhetorical sleight of hand here. Historically, singular "they" was used to describe an indefinite, hypothetical or otherwise vaguely described person (e.g. the perpetrator of a crime before being identified) - not a definite person whose gender was simply unknown (e.g. someone unseen, known by a gender-neutral name). Further, its use is quite restricted - it doesn't admit all the inflections and noun-verb agreements that "he" and "she" do.

> and it's better for it to not contain excessive constraints or connotations that are unhelpful.

It seems to me that you propose entirely unnecessary constraints.
