There’s always been two button modes. “mouseup” is indeed the most common. However, “mousedown” is used in certain cases where the feedback is immediate, for example in the phone app where the number shows up as soon as you tap. However, notice that the lock screen uses neither of these, but rather a strange combination of both: it registers on “mousedown”, just like the phone app, showing a new dot in the field, but then will “unregister” if you move away and lift your finger, removing the dot. As far as I can tell, this is the only place buttons work this way.

> There's a pretty useful manual built into the device itself called Hints I think? Did you read that?

I posit that if one needs to load up the Tips app to figure out how to perform desired functions, that's a problem with the UX and not the human trying to use the device/app.

The ideas espoused in The Design of Everyday Things[0] pops into mind right now.

I've wanted to write a TUI with Bubbletea, but as the author points out, getting started with it is very intimidating. I feel the brute-force approach of "just doing it" is probably the only way to produce something as nice as pug.

That said, I've bookmarked this excellent resource should I decide to pursue that path soon. Thanks for the write-up!
We could, in theory, pick a random sample of people and give them the time and money to actually think about the issues. Statistically, their interests should match those of the general population, but they will be better tooled to actually attend to them. I do think it would ultimately be much better to pick representatives at random than elect them.
Which sites/newspapers are you talking about? Many have metered paywalls, where you get a few articles for free before the paywall hits.

Beyond that, others (Blendle, post.news, etc) have tried micropayments and they don't work -- people don't actually want them.
Democracy. Free speech. Rule of law.

You want all three of those things. If you're trampling on one or two of them to defend the third, you're not in a good place.

Is it necessary? I could see a place where it was necessary. I do not know enough to know if Brazil is at such a place. But I know that, when someone wants to trample on free speech and rule of law in order to defend democracy, it is probably more likely that the person proposing it is not actually a friend of democracy either.

How is this not arbitrary, without any checks and balances and not corruption?

I ask this question every time I interview and the answer is always useless, something like “Well, it varies”. For some reason companies never want to say what they’re working on, like it’s state secrets or something. I guess that’s a signal too though.
> What Rust currently doesn't support (there's a desire to fix this someday), is dynamically linking with a Rust library compiled with a different version of the Rust compiler

Note that even with the same compiler there a lot of factors that must remain the same to make the dynamic linking work properly. For example changing any compiler flag or dependency feature flag will likely result in incompatibility. The best way to guarantee that the dynamic library and the executable that loads it are compatible is to build everything as part of a single workspace (and yes, this means that if anything changes in the dynamic library crate then the executable that depend on it must also be rebuilt).
We have a cheap, stable, infrastructure-friendly, high-density storage formula for hydrogen. Or better, since the application here isn't hydrogen-specific but is simply looking to find a fuel-storage solution: energy storage.

It's hydrocarbons.

In this case, synfuel hydrocarbons as direct analogues of fossil-fuel based compounds of chain-lengths 1 (methane) to around a dozen or so (kerosene / aviation fuel, at a stretch, diesel fuel).

It stores forever (proved to 300 million years), it is drop-in compatible with extant infrastructure and equipment, it's infinitely miscable with present fuels, it doesn't leak out of storage, it doesn't embrittle metals (and in fact generally lubricates and protects them).

Yes, the round-trip storage efficiencies are low (as low as ~15--20% recovery based on thermal electrical generation, roughly the same as the solution named here), but that's in exchange for something that can readily provide weeks to months of storage capacity in a stable, low-risk form. Where you need storage that's long-term stable, dense, safe, and instantly dispatchable, your options are few.

The technology has been demonstrated in numerous experimental trials, and is similar to processes run at national scale for decades in Germany and South Africa. US-based research has been conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory, M.I.T., and the US Naval Research Lab, amongst others. The stumbling block to date has been that fossil fuel prices are sufficiently low[1] that synfuels simply are not competitive presuming market-based mechanisms which fail to account for externalities and other market failures.

I've be aware of this for about a decade and have written about the technology, Fischer-Tropsch fuel synthesis, multiple times on HN:

That's very nearly a solved problem at this point; I get notified by bots (github, mainly) if a dependency has as a security vulnerability, and then it's very nearly a one click action to do a cargo update and commit the new lockfile.

The distro people could've been working on the tooling for automating this at the distro level (and some people in debian are doing work that would enable this); we don't need to go this insane "unbundle everything" route.
Fedora is also apparently considering enabling rust to render QR-codes on kernel panics (and has upstreamed code to do the rendering already).
Yes, software is the recipe, not the pie
Quite a few of these rams have been found. It seems the design of the front, with three horizontal edges, remained almost unchanged for centuries.

Wikipedia [1] has this to say about the rationale:

> The blunt edge of the ram and the patterned protrusion were intended to break open the seams of the target ship while at the same time dispersing the force of impact on the attacking ship to prevent the ram from twisting off and damaging the attacking ship. It was also less likely to become stuck in the hull of its target.

Not my words by an accurate statement:

"A Brazilian judge tells Elon that he has to block certain users of X. Elon says no. The judge says that he will then put X's legal representative in Brazil in jail. Elon closes the offices in Brazil. The judge says that he has to have a legal representative in Brazil, that is what the law says. Elon says "if I name another representative you will put him in jail". Then the judge orders X to be blocked in Brazil. And he threatens to fine those who try to use X in Brazil through VPNs. In other words, users who easily use X in Brazil to see memes become potential criminals when they did nothing illegal.

It's crazy. It's an abuse of authority. Because let's suppose that Carlinho Da Souza calls for burning all the kids alive, the one who commits a crime (let's suppose) is Carlinho, and Justice should be focused on him, not on the company that provides its platform without knowing beforehand that Carlinho is an idiot, and even knowing it later from his posts. And you shouldn't demand that the company prevent Carlinho from exposing his stupidity, that would be like telling the cell phone company not to let me talk on the phone because I threatened to break someone's face. And then, since the company says no, it won't prevent me from talking on the phone, then it blocks the cell phone signal throughout the country, for everyone.

Freedom of expression is being able to say what you want and take responsibility for the consequences. But the consequences are for the alleged offender, not for people who have nothing to do with it.

To make another cheap analogy, if someone stabs a neighbor, you can't ban knives and force butchers to cut meat with their teeth."
1JPM automatically resolves parent and child projects
See project.isAutoParentsAndChildren.
If true updates current pom, all parent and all child pom.xml
files with the respective parent details, adding seamless multi-module/project support.

This expects that the parent pom is always inside the parent directory,
otherwise a performant search is not possible since the entire disk would need to be checked.

1JPM helps porting your multi-module project
Add JPM.java to your root project directory and add JPM.portChildProjects(); before building.
This is going to download and copy the latest JPM.java file into all child projects it can find
in this directory, and also run it to generate an initial pom.xml for that child project.
The child projects name will be the same as its directory name.

A child project is detected
if a src/main/java folder structure exists, and the parent folder of src/ is then used as child project root.
Note that a child project is expected to be directly inside a subdirectory of this project.

Now project.isAutoParentsAndChildren will work properly, since all needed pom.xml files should exist.

Can you link to the post on Reddit you are referring to?
Poorly phrased. I know it's common nomenclature for a self-destruct switch but there are other switches for an AI that could go by that name.
Not to Reddit?

I hardly ever saw adult content on Twitter.
ACH often refers to filtration and not ventilation; that is, recycled air counts for ACH calculations but won't decrease CO2 because that's not scrubbed by the filters. So it's possible you can have high CO2 levels but also no virus or particulate matter in the air; this is why some places will report PM2.5 as well as CO2, as a proxy for filtration. To make it more complicated, you can also use UV-C to inactivate pathogens, which may not decrease PM2.5 and won't decrease CO2.

I'm not saying this is the case necessarily for planes, but I'm just trying to provide context for how proxy measures of air quality may not tell the full story.

Even when expanding scope to include laptops that run Linux well despite not officially supporting it, the selection available still have major issues, whether they be with build quality, screen panel quality, battery life, standby time, sleep/wake, overall lack of fit and finish (e.g. unthoughtfully placed ports) or some combination thereof.

It seems like a near impossibility for other manufacturers to not phone some of those things in. There’s always a catch.
I use it through the wonderful QGIS plugin for georeferecing .csv's.

I coördinate an 'igs lokaal woonbeleid' and this has proven to be tremendously useful. Maps are the best way to visualise the impact that we have and being able to pinpoint an exact location has prevented a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings. 10 Years ago it wasn't unthinkable that my colleagues lost several hours in a day searching for certain houses. I was one of the first that started using capakeys instead of adresses in my company.
I think it's because it's a hard problem to understand and no one has got anywhere. They run all the tests on people suffering the symptoms but nothing useful pops out.

Funnily enough I was watching a vid yesterday on a potential breakthrough in another tricky illness - alzheimer's - where a researcher looking at passing on epigenetic information in nematode worms tried the same experiment in mice, knocking out a particular enzyme, and quite by chance produced alzheimer effects in the mice.

The bug is that it shows they character as entered into the passcode when it really isn't. The bubbles should only update when you get lift your finger, not when you initially press it down.

That is exactly why the dot should not appear immediately upon the down event.
Show HN: Onboard faster by importing data from your customers' DBs
Hey all! Wanted to share a project (https://recaseai.com) I’ve been working on, which helps B2B SaaS startups integrate with their customers’ data stores (like Snowflake, Looker, etc.) much faster.

I previously worked on a tool targeted at fintechs, and we required certain data points from their internal DB. The fintechs couldn't dedicate engineering effort to send data via an API, so we had to build out integrations with their data stores and query the relevant data. This meant that:

- We had to create custom integrations and queries for each customer's DB
- Our customers would worry about how we’d store their DB credentials

For a startup, this was limiting. As such, we built Recase, which is basically a reverse ETL that allows your SaaS to build integrations and sync custom data points from your customers’ databases / data warehouses easily. Here’s how it works:

1. You use our embedded page or API to save your customers’ DB credentials / API keys

2. You or your customer define a schema to send to your endpoint

3. Your customer can select which fields from their DB they’d like to map to the schema, via our UI

4. Data sync can then be triggered via API or CRON

Love to hear your thoughts!

PS. We had a few early users who enjoyed the tool so now we're looking to take on a few more for our invite-only beta :)

To answer the other part of your question (downloading directly into our brain/nervous system), we don't. We hyper-train each ascendant brain in the brutal practice of undeceiving the self, and then either collect from curated sources (preprocessed informatica) or scrub first hand accounts for trace forensic Truth ourselves.

Information (resolve of uncertainty) is a valuable commodity. That is the nutritional basis for the ecosystem of autonomous, self discerning minds. It must be chosen carefully by taste and digested in the bowels of each and every comprehending mind.

PQC for Non-Cryptographers
the problem with these solutions is how non-native they are to workloads. For zonal outages, you have to force-move things over. Even in k8s it doesn't seem like you can automatically failover statefulsets to another zone.

It feels better to me to have the replication at the data store level (e.g. database) rather than try and hide it under APIs that really aren't meant for it
The 31/63 issue for me is that they appear to be aligned differently to the 0s directly above them. The left-edge of the 6 seems to be further left than the left edge of the 3. The 3 in 31 at least looks vertically aligned with the 0 above it.

However, I suspect they both have the same ("Incorrect" seems too harsh a word... "Visually imprecise"?) layout constraints and they look different in practice because "63" is a wider number than "31".
It's like that instagram thing. There were already so many photo blog things. Like Flickr for example.

Buy to be serious, those other AR attempts clearly didn't have something click that would find its audience and reach that critical mass. This seems to take a unique angle of making it a map-first design. But I've really never experienced the others.
