> Updating HDD firmware is something you do to resolve a very specific problem, not ... just because it's available.

Indeed. As an anecdotical data point: number of personal and servers HDD firmware upgraded over four decades (!)... Zero.

Zero isn't not a lot.

We should ask people who know what it's like to have a lot of HDDs: does BackBlaze upgrade their HDDs' firmwares?
Yeah, modern corporations tend to threat people with things like raising sea levels to make them buy electric cars or photovoltaic panels, or vegan food. They also impose their woke worldviews on their employees. And don't get me started on tax exemptions.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an idea that I've been thinking about for some time but requires data to the Customer's Data. They'd have to expose us to ingest that either through :
1) an API that the customer exposes to you
2) Connected to the data source directly in a secure manner.

Option 1 seems like a lot of work for the customer ... probably not viable.

Option 2: you can securely connect to their data-source using oAuth2.0. In fact I know MongoDB offers this (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/security-oidc/) for this exact use-case I believe. I recall using Vercel to integrate with my MongoDB.

MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/security-oidc/
Supabase: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth

Though I haven't done it directly, I think integrating with the DB through a secure protocol like oAuth is the way to go. DB services offer this and must be for this exact use case.

You can do it how they do it pretty easily with chatGPT. It’s brought the process within reach of the DIYer who doesn’t want to or isn’t able to (time constraints; skill problems) actually write a book.

That’s how the companies that write these for them do it now, so it’s not even a worse process—ghost writers are gone, ChatGPT does the first draft of each chapter, with some of the money saved on writers going to (way) more editor hours than they used to need.

If you’re decent at prompting chatgpt you can do that part yourself, then you can hire the editing out ($5k-$15k, depends on the length of book and how good the editor is) or also DIY that if you’re good at it. Pro tip: keep using ChatGPT during the editing, it’s great for normalizing tone after you’ve changed stuff.

Or if you don’t need to save cash, just do what others in that position do and hire the whole thing out. $25k-$50k and 20-40 hours of personal time spent and you can “write a book”. Depending on the topic and how much you care about the final product, the time investment part can go under 10 hours, if that’s your preference.

I measure the amount of milk by the colour it turns the tea. That's easy, and works the same for any size and shape of cup. Measuring how much milk you've poured into the bottom of a cup is much harder (especially when you want a small amount of milk, so it'll be a little puddle at the bottom of an opaque cup).
Judging by job openings mention ZKP it's mostly used in some "crypto" BS.
This is a really bad advice. I'm trying to learn higher math, and sometimes I ask chatgpt for clarification. It's ok for definitions and explaining notation, but hilariously bad with proofs and logical reasoning. I have a collection of screenshots with chatgpt confidently spewing total nonsense (and sometimes doubling up or inventing something even worse when challenged). And this is for a topic where I can at least verify the answers.

If you think POTS sounds good, you should try ISDN, it'll knock your socks off! Back in the mid-90s I got ISDN BRI (2x64Kbps channel) service in to replace analog modem service. It would connect in well under a second, and while connected at 128K we could receive a phone call (dropping one of the channels, so having voice plus 64K data), and the phone calls sounded quite good.

It used to be that for recording remote interviews or even I believe just general voice recording like audio books, the media companies would have you come into a location that had ISDN, and if you were a real big timer you might have ISDN in your home studio.

That was back in the day when they gave a crap, then the pandemic came along and the media companies seemed to be happy throwing any crappy video chat up for broadcast, not matter how echoy the room you're in or how many drop-outs.

WRT fiber optics, we are just now starting to see Q.com (Century Link) deploying fiber to the neighborhoods. Up in Canada in a similar sized city they deployed fiber back in 2000, but in the states QWest wouldn't do it because, I've been told, it would open up allowing CLECs to put DSL equipment in neighborhoods, and let them cherry-pick neighborhoods to offer service in. Finally a few years ago the city stepped in a ran fiber to every house, which honestly is a better option IMHO.
Even on mobile switching channel feels snappy to me. The images can take a while if they are not cached yet.
It's just software like any other. It's vulnerable and it has defects. So it's very reasonable to at least check if there's an update available.

> People are blind to the fact that updates can and do introduce new bugs.

I do agree that this fact is often underappreciated - the single biggest cause of breakages are usually the rollout of changes themselves. But again, it's just like with any other software.
> Then how are Vimeo doing it? They're fixed price.

They limit you to 2TB per month of bandwidth:

* https://vimeo.com/upgrade-plan

If a video goes viral and you shoot past that you'll probably get a call from them.

You also have a finite amount of storage space available with them, which depends on the account tier you're at: no infinite storage like with Youtube. (And with 4K video nowadays, that can be burned through quickly.)
The whole point is to save the warnings for the 0.9% case when there’s actually a dangerous jellyfish about, so if you know one of those (very) rare species is about, go nuts.

The render API was already needless bloat for many SDL users. SDL2 was also significantly larger than SDL1 in binary size already.

This abstraction at least has the potential to fulfil the needs of anything more than simple 2D games while allowing you to target the sadly increasingly fragmented graphics API ecosystem (RIP dreams of an universal OpenGL(Next) future). Looks like the hardest part (shader translation) isn't there yet though.

Not only that..

Both Tesla and BYD had negotiations to buy Sigma Lithium, the largest lithium mining company in Latam, where the world largest lithium reserves are..

Bolsonaro, and the right in general, is known to be anti-china and could help blocking BYD acquisition, that would favor Tesla that would be able to buy it cheaper then if he has to outbid BYD...

Cutting the Chinese access to latam lithium would also harm their expansion plans and slow their grow.. That would also favor Tesla as the Chinese is owning the market in many developing contries and are growing fast even in Europe..

Even in the US the Chinese EV are a problem to Tesla, to the point the government quadrupled the import taxes on Chinese EV..
and he is quite strange

Counterpoint, I'd love to have this info. I grew up long enough ago to know (and do) disk defrags and the game is very similar to tetris in how it is fun and relatively easy. But iirc defrags made multiple passes, and it is not very clear whether the blocks in game correspond to pieces of the same file (where line 1 & 2 should be together) or of different files (where it does not matter). It's a nice game nonetheless!

A vasovagal syncope is something. It can happen when pain is too strong and you... Simply pass out.

It happened to me once, ten years ago (probably due to a severe kidney stones incident but we never found out) and I passed out, on the ground, in front of my girlfriend.

My layman understanding is this: pain is too strong, the mind-body decides to simply turn the mind off.

Weirdly enough about one minute late I began to "think" again: laying on the floor and... Pain was gone.

That was a decade ago so... Whatever!

What I observe is people who build a whole identity around illness and disability, I wonder sometimes if my town (or maybe myself) attracts this sort of person. This kind of person probably has a real disease to some extent but sure as hell they are depressed by the DSM definition and have given up on life.

Cyberark works great for this, it even lets you avoid having to share passwords for things like ssh and rdp. There are several vendors in this space. The new hire in your scenario would be added to the right group, that group's members would have access to the right PAM tool vault. when they leave the company, they get removed from that group, thus removing their access. Shared passwords can also be managed passwords that get auto-rotated every so often.

As an old folk who watched a lot of DOS and win 3.1 defrag I could not figure out how to play. This game has many confusing differences from actual defragging: blocks can't seem to move over each other for example. And I think each block can move only once? It's a neat concept for a game but don't blame our confusion with the UX on lack of familiarity with the real defrag process.

I was doing typesetting, using QuarkXPress (before InDesign ruled the day) on Mac G3 running MacOS 9.

Good memories but, geez, what a turd that filesystem was. Basically the only way to exchange files and stay sane was to stay in MacOS land. Having a G3 with a built-in ZIP drive did help though.
One could argue that we've had internet way before we've had Starlink. It's not entirely compelling, considering many people in more remote areas don't have great access, but it would also be a bit disingenuous to equate starlink and internet.

This is of course a slippery slope argument, but not neccesarily wrong: I think systemd is moving a FLOSS operating system towards one that has source but comes in binaries. You get an initrd that's not built by you, tucked in a kernel also not built by you, runs the userspace from an immutable image also not built by you, which can be updated with binary deltas also not built by you, etc...

This makes sense from the perspective of making a kitchen appliance for the home consumer market. It makes no sense at all from the perspective of making a Unix-like operating system with four freedoms from scratch and ensure it stays that way.

that's C strings. You also need to handle (size, data) strings like std::string_view

, fmt::styled(1.23, fmt::fg(fmt::color::green) fmt::bg(fmt::color::blue)));

fmt::print("{}", fmt::join(std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3}, ", "));

fmt::print("strftime-like format: {:%H:%M:%S}\n", 3h + 15min + 30s);

Show HN: Exit-Insights:Uncover why visitors exit your website without converting
Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to launch Exit-Insights on this fine monday evening.

Problem: When my co-founders and I were working on our individual projects, one common issue we faced was around conversion. We used to drive traffic but had literally no idea why visitors left the landing page without converting.

What we needed: We needed two pieces of information

1.Why did the visitors not convert?
2.Where did these visitors come from?

Solution: While brainstorming we decided to build a simple tool that would help us and other founders as well to solve this problem hence we got to work and built Exit-Insights in a span of a few weeks.

Founders would be able to retrieve detailed insights into why visitors leave without converting their landing page that would help them further tweak their landing page and improve conversion.
