I looked into Renpy briefly after finding out that Slay the Princess uses it. I didn't get far because I didn't have a story in mind, but it's a neat tool.
Same here but I got cured pretty fast. My circuit breaker to central water heater got worn out. I bought new one but feeling lazy I called the company and they sent an electrician to do the rest. The electrician started with removing wrong knockouts. When I pointed it to him he said "it is ok". Fuckin no was my answer. But being reasonable I just covered those with some plastic glued using crazy glue. He than proceeds to work and after a while declares that the work is done. Well not so fast. Let's turn on the breaker and see if there is a current on wires. Lo and behold there is none. He then says that my water tank is bad. I am slowly getting mad, so I open the fucking box and what do I see - the fucker screwed 2 wires to go to heater to the left and right holes on the grounding plate. I took a picture of this sevenths wonder and when I pointed it out his answer once again was that "it is ok". This finally made my day. I told him to get the fuck out and I will do the job myself. He had the audacity to ask for pay. At this point I called the company, explained to them what just had happened and threatened them with the lawsuit. They apologized and promised not to charge my card.
None of what you said supports that checklist following is only for decreasing liability and not towards patient wellness. It may be the case but it doesn't really follow though.
>why did you say "the entire amendment process" in response to my question?

Because I'm not a lawyer and my main point was "yes, congress can control this stuff"

>The things Congress can legislate about are explicitly enumerated in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitutio

I'm going to guess "setting minimum wage" isn't specifically enumerated in Article I, section 8. But yes, we have federal laws we revise overtime outlining that.

>I'm asking if there is anything in the Constitution that says Congress can enforce a minimum wage.

Probbaly not. But there are mechanisms on how congress can draft laws to enforce a minimum wage. Of course it can be challenged by the SCOTUS, but that's one hell of a hill to die on, even by 2024 standards.

It not adjusting for 15 years is pretty close. Sometimes apathy is the best malice.

>There is no such thing as a "stronger law" or "to override the Constitution". The Constitution can be amended

Did you want to talk about congress passing laws or argue pedantism against the spirit of HN? I'm not a lawyer so my language will not be precise as the centuries and thousands of pages of law talking about this.

My main point was that yes, congress can pass laws that regulate employment. No it doesn't need to be the 28th amendment to take effect. There's no point grilling me on the legalese because that is far outside my purview (and frankly, far outside the scope of a comment on Hacker News. I'm not drafting an entire book try and likely fail to convince someone who is simply prodding instead of giving their own opinions on the matter)

I have a side project. Its fairly easy to use and self explanatory. I get about 2-3 emails per week, that is with around 15,000 monthly active users and ~$400/month in revenue which is growing slowly over time. The service is stable and I don't usually have to keep an eye on it.

For any "difficult" enquiries when a customer is not happy for any reason, I just refund them, its not worth my time arguing about $10 a month. Over the life of the project that has only happened once or twice.

By the time the emails get hard to manage, i'll probably already have hired someone else to respond to them.
Nihilism does nothing but to further erode the foundations of democracy.
It's hard to say what the motivation for the estrogen is but it's a case study in pharma-bro-ing type hobbies which is fine. Life extension nootropics and such. It could be a menopausal woman juicing up. It could also be a biological male who identifies as a female, which was big tech's engineering solution as far as how to get more women in tech (turns out, innovative solution, it's easier to retrofit male programmers as females than it is to convince your average woman to sit alone in a cubicle all day fighting against a pedantic and buggy compudah) - don't announce that at google, however, or you'll be punted out next day and end up needing to settle it for a few million.
That question seems like it has to be framed in a misunderstanding of how secure you believe the iOS platform is.
Here's a list of CVEs for iOS just this year: https://www.bitsight.com/blog/apple-vulnerabilities-cisa-kno...

If you went back farther, you would find exploits that compromise your iOS device simply by receiving a compromised jpg image, not even by you opening the message. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/apple-patches-clickl...

I think the expectation in 2024 should simply be 0 day exploits are available for purchase that target both platforms, neither is secure.
It is trivial to make the case that you need to import your labor in the tech sector. They are incentivized to hire outside since the visa/h1b stipulations make their new worker a step above an indentured worker.

The incentives for corporations are misaligned with the constituency as well, and from my perspective they work together to rule in the modern day. A corporation can run away from a country they created, a citizen cannot do so as readily.
"Those who don't understand ACID are doomed to reimplement it... poorly"
Android at least does show a little browser badge on PWAs. (Or is this a feature of certain launchers? I'm not sure). iOS should do the same, once Apple is done pretending PWAs don't exist.

If microplastics are directly causing illnesses and birth defects then we would've found out already. Past cases of mass illness caused by pollutants (lead gasoline, asbestos, minamata disease, thalidomide, chimney sweep's carcinoma, etc.) were uncovered quickly and usually addressed not long after. The fact we still can't pinpoint exactly how microplastics are harming us beyond that they are in places where they are not supposed to be, The one reassuring thing about this whole ordeal is plastics are largely inert, that's why they take forever to degrade.
I would advise against clicking on any of the links in the “sponsored by” section if you are at work.
I have been using a similar service from a different provider (feedbin) and can vouch for the usefulness of this approach.

For a time, I used Android. The absence of a decent RSS reader on android made me jump back to iOS. My smartphone OS choice came down to being able to read newsletters as feeds.
It's like a 50's ad slogan. If it doesn't _____, then I won't _____.
I have a triple boot setup. Every OS sucks so why not?

It doesn't hurt to have intact alternate OS's ready to go.

I might only use one Linux regularly but there's a devuan and a vanilla windows (+patches from ~1 year/6mo. ago) - it's really no big deal leaving them be. It's just disk space.

windows will probably get nuked soon cause it's on a gen4 NVME - not using that is a waste.
I did for a while in the 2010s but eventually found it too fragile and risky, started booting linux off a removable drive then eventually booting linux and just virtualizing windows, way less risky and I don't care about games so it was fine.

"Common sense" is basically the opposite of science.
Or there is no big enough sample size to compare against. How do you even establish a baseline without a control group?

If it goes dark a microsecond after #3 you might have an ambiguous success. Transaction processed but you didn't get a confirmation.

A lot of robust systems end up implementing their own bespoke WAL semantics on top of the system of record. It's like we should have a formal solution for doing that by now.
Yeah it broke my Linux Mint. I run mint all day while developing and then switch to windows 11 to game every once in a while.

I think there's a way to fix it but I had to disable secure boot to work this week.

I've had way more issues with windows 11 than with linux Mint. Like way more.
You can buy a little outlet tester that includes a test for GFCI functionality for under 15 bucks. Anyone doing this kind of work at home should have one.

And I get that it's more stuff to buy, but I've been learning that for all sorts of home repairs, even if I have to buy new tools to do it, and only use that tool once, I still come out cheaper than hiring someone to do it. Sometimes a lot cheaper.
This city doesn't look like much work to drive. One evening of work to scope out every nook and cranny is infinitely better than what's possible for most American cities!

It is surprising the lengths some people will go to trying to code their way out of a problem rather than interact with the nearby and available human beings who already have the answers*.

<waves hand>

I have an Intel NUC that has it's original Windows (10) install on it's internal spinning rust drive, and Ubuntu on it's NVME SSD (and a pair of USB drives in software Raid 1)

It's the Windows box I keep around for odd but specific tasks like the running the 3D wing and airfoil simulation software I have, or the CNC mill firmware update tool that only runs Windows. It's also got a few Windows only 3D modelling tools and GCode creation tools that I occasionally need for the laser cutter or CNC mill or one of the 3D printers.

99.9% of it's time is spent booted into Linux running Emby and PiHole and Home Bridge and doing file server duties.
Very cool. I immediately thought if you get big enough there would be Wireshark compatible base boards.
Intel is out of money and in damage control mode.

Unfortunately, this was a great project but just like Optane memory its being shelved due to cost mitigation measures.
>But also it provides a secondary check on the sensibility of the order.

For much the same reason, whenever there is an outage, I like to ensure my teams are running at least two people on the problem. When things are broken and you're trying to un-break them, having one person whose entire concentration is on doing the physical acts requires to un-break things and one person whose concentration is on monitoring things, looking up data, or reading through the SOP helps ensure things are done safely, that you have secondary checks on actions being taken and it also slows things down a little in the "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" sense.
Well, if you are annoyed by a particular maintenance task related to your business, find a way to automate it!

In this case, you could create examples for your API in common programming languages, publish them on the product website, and even implement an automatic test that would verify that your last commit didn't break them. So, most of the non-programmer inquiries can be answered with a simple link to the examples page for the language they want.

As a bonus point, you will get some organic search traffic when people search for <what your API is doing> in <language name>.
This is a preprint.
It has not yet been peer reviewed by a journal.
The radix sort implementation is not optimal. Instead of sorting 1 digit at a time, it should be sorting 11 digits at a time to saturate the cache lines.

So the baseline radix sort can be even faster.
A lot. A friend worked for years in a well known hospital in PHL (that closed somewhat recently), and they were pushed to get people with no insurance out as fast as they could.

If they know you won't be paying, they will try to kick you out as fast as they can and consequences be damned, if you don't have insurance you likely don't know/understand your rights and wouldn't sue them.
And, for a simpler linear version that's used to drive air: electrostatic speakers [1]!

Can you explain the difference between creating an anonymous google account with fake information compared to an anonymous midjourney account with fake information?
Even in some scenario where crappy-car owners are some kind of especially pernicious safety menace (a claim for which I would demand actual evidence, since I don't believe it for a minute), I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a place in the United States where there are so many cars on the road that are legally undrivable for safety reasons that their removal would make any kind of significant difference. I read "astonishingly high effect" above and wonder if you even drive in the United States.
Nope. I stand by all comments in this thread.
It can be useful to cycle through words for concepts that are stigmatized, if only so you can use the new shibboleth that means "I have no ill will or prejudice against the concept", but it's still annoying to see no progress be made on destigmatizing the underlying concepts. That's where my ire lies. Not with the new euphemism per se but the admission of defeat.
That’s actually great news - neuroplasticity turns out to increase as we age.
That seems very unbelievable. A >1 inch ball of solid plastic in the brain? So essentially a solid plastic golf ball?

How is it even getting to the brain- isn’t there a blood brain barrier that even pathogens have a hard time getting through?
To carve out a family-friendly niche! that wasn't so hard to say upfront. No need for obtuse clickbait and under report on the other big co's that often look into streaming plays outside of their core competency.

Perhaps more will pull the trigger on this if content costs fall to the same point that originally made netflix make sense for big numbers.
> Forcibly discharging someone under those circumstances and refusing to even contact their emergency contacts is beyond belief

I don’t know what it is legally but morally that is negligent manslaughter.
Terrifying study: “total plastics mass concentration in brains increased over 50% in the past 8 years”. Their 2024 brain matter samples are on average 0.48% plastic by weight, if I am reading this correctly: “The brain samples, all derived from the frontal cortex, revealed substantially higher concentrations than liver or kidney, at 3,057 μg/g in 2016 samples and 4,806 μg/g (0.48%, by weight) in 2024 samples, ranging as high as 8,861 μg/g.”

The only good news is that apparently the brain can clear these particles; the problem is that there is a steadily increasing amount of exposure which means that rather than clearance, there is accumulation.
People are doing this a lot on handhelds like rog ally and others systems to flip between windoze-only games and those that work under Bazzite or other steam deck-ish distributions fine for improved performance and frame rates over windoze. Usually the DRM-laden vermin require windoze still, most everything else works ok enough with proton in linux now.

I also keep windoze in as minimal space as I can using linux full-time to update lenovo firmware on my tb4 dock and system periodically as I've been burned with firmware updates under linux, so 128gb of a disk for windoze is usually a small sacrifice as a fallback.
I have those feelings, sure. But I don't think anything I said demonstrated nihilism. I recognize the main road is clogged and am fine taking the side roads in the meantime.

Would it be better if the main road was fixed? Absolutely. But I can't fix it. I can only make due in the short term.
Quite a few people who bought windows laptops, and want to use Linux alongside in it.
Fair. Though I still think we need a tech equivalent of "look both ways before crossing the street." Though as I type this and think it through... Cars aren't trying to deliberately camouflage themselves as harmless parts of the environment, which is the logical equivalent to this particular case.
As a victim of medical malpractice, it's terrifying to me that someone could have killed me to cover it up.
How is this related to wardriving?

Ironically, I've never had symptomatic covid even with roomates who had both the original covid variant and more recent strains.

Other than a few weeks of feeling tired one time, I've never actually managed to test positive. This is after living in new york for the past four years.

Anyone else had this experience? The only palpable side-effect or long-lasting effect has been increased noise sensitivity, tinitus in one ear seemingly out of nowhere and now I have mild exima which never was an issue in years past.
A week is not anywhere close to enough to learn programming in any meaningful way for someone with no experience.
The year before was worse to me, but followed by another one just as bad it just made it feel worse. I don't remember '23 being as humid as '22, but maybe that's just faulty memory shorting out from the humidity???
B) Yes, which involve losses and packaging changes. Exactly why a motor like this would be useful…

I don't think that really means much, all of the (major) streamers are just being paid to play the game on stream for X amount of time/days when the game launches. It's not organic. Twitch is just another marketing spend for these companies. Most of the big streamers maintain the same average viewer count no matter what they're playing.
There are a few ways to bypass the usage
1. Try our ChromeOS or Chromebook
It supports android app via Play Store
2. Try dual boot using androidx86 project

Since, hardware limitations, options seem pretty much restrictive
They can keep carving, half of FAANG has tried to move the same mountain and it budged not an inch.
I'm progressive and frankly I don't see why we need to legally protect someone's ability to sell nudes on social media platforms. The level of pandering these "creators" stoop to is frankly comical at this point.

Again, I'm progressive, and there's no reason teenage boys or girls need to be bombarded with body parts every time they open instagram or any other platform.

For the same reason Twitch started limiting this kind of content, which was clearly being aimed at minors.
I just realised writing another response, that a large portion of the reasons I need to run Windows occasionally if to use weird hardware that's windows specific. Things that run odd USB protocols, our even worse require a USB-serial converter with a specific chipset.

For me, it's way easier to keep a "hardware Windows machine" available than to debug why these things don't quite work right in a virtualised environment every time I need to use em.
As a former dual-booter, there's surprisingly few games that still require Windows. You might consider going full Linux.
I've always toyed with the idea of making some stories for my kids in Ren'Py. Although, I've been toying with the idea for so long that I might get them done in time for the time I have grandchildren.

Does this give us any indication of the chance of a recession?
I went though a similar problem about 10 years ago. In my case, the phone (iPhone 4S) wasn't lost, but it's clock was perpetually off. The WiFi radio had failed and the Stratum 1 time server on my mobile network seemed to be sending it the wrong time. This resulted in all of the MFA TOTPs getting rejected and me not being able to access Gmail for a year. Despite the clock issue, many things still worked, presumably because this was still back when much of the internet used either weak or zero TLS/SSL.
Are you sure? I just looked and there was a Rush Hour for Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and today. The last one before that was Aug 8. O16 days total this summer, the first being June 13.
I didn't go and look up the others but this argument by similarity, at least when applied to asbestos says the exact opposite to the claim you're trying to make. It's generally considered that industry/government was aware of the issues relating to asbestos in the '30s (and _started_ doing things about it then) but it wasn't until the 70's/80's (depending on the country) that its use was mostly stopped (and in places like Australia it wasn't outright banned until 2003).
There's room for all of us in this industry. What someone is unwilling to do is just an opportunity for someone else to pick up the yoke.
Yes but the amount of plastic in use has increased dramatically. Also there’s evidence that the process of recycling plastic is what creates a lot of the problematic microplastics. We only very recently started recycling plastic.

That would be cool indeed. I haven’t thought about others creating Wireshark compatible baseboards but it’s an idea I can get behind! Thanks for your feedback.
Funnily enough an llm is pretty good at categorizing and prioritizing support requests.
But if you can't get more in under 5m, then if the demand goes up that much in under 5m you hit the point of load shedding to protect the grid right?

The graph showed it increasing fast just before. Is it so unthinkable it could jump again?

Or is that they could get more (non-SCED) in time, it would just cost a ton so it's avoided if at all possible?
I wonder if there's any consistent pattern to the API hallucinations.

I guess it depends what the tech stack was before?

Where I work, we were previously a ColdFusion shop when I joined, and after a false start with Scala, I introduced Clojure and it stuck: we cross-trained the CF devs and slowly rewrote the platform from the bottom up in Clojure.

We had struggled with automated deployments, and the size of servers, when we were a CF shop but after the switch to Clojure we had a fully-automated deployment pipeline, with rolling cluster updates, and much smaller servers than we needed before, running more processes than before.
