When I tried using chocolatey, you had to pay them in order to specify a default install directory rather than needing to include it explicitly in every command. I don't know if this is still the case but I formed a deeply held grudge over it.

When I tried using winget, it mostly worked quite well, but occasionally would fail horribly. It'll happily detect and offer to upgrade programs that were installed outside winget, for example - great feature!! - except one time when I tried doing this it installed a new instance to a default location instead of upgrading in place, so now I had two installations. I don't trust it.

Scoop is simple and sensible and just works in exactly the way I expect it to. With the exception of needing to install scoop-search.

I concur.

These are great tips for a "related work" section, but nothing like prior art as it turns out. So yes, relevant and appreciated.

> UTF-8 automata .. lazy DFA matching

I wouldn't expect RuneSet to be useful for any automata-based regex pattern matching approach, there's not a good way to incorporate the context switch, among other considerations, and while it's fast, I will be surprised (very pleased, but surprised) if it's faster. It's designed as a component of an LPeg style parsing machine, where it can be added inline and treated as an unusually large instruction. I haven't done more than time its test suite, which has shown that it's fast enough for the intended use, and that optimization time is best put into other parts of the design for now.
The reason why I ask in a place like HN is for a more curated response from people who I would assume care about the subject.

No need for snark.
ESGHound has lobbed many accusations, most of which did not pan out. Some of his accusations, such as the idea that SpaceX's development was a front for their real goal to drill for fossil fuel, could be considered conspiracy theories.

Throw enough at the wall and something will stick.

I am not convinced he is correct in this case either, just that he's gotten the ear of a likeminded journalist.

> we should be expecting follow-up from a human being tasked with enforcing the law, right?

That's very nice but until tor exit nodes are illegal, such police action is purely a harassment effort, right?

One thing that struck me, years ago, is that the people running these actions (recipient of a death threat or police) are far more concerned with the fact that "someone enabled this", rather than the fact that someone was angry enough at them to issue a death threat. They had no visible concern about that wannabe murderer, apparently spending no effort trying to identify THEM. They just wanted retribution against the exit node operator. It was totally doing something for the sake of doing something, zero concern about solving any root problem. They had seemingly zero concern that their safety was a risk (I mean, from eventual action stronger than a death threat.)

They also had zero awareness that anonymous email had allowed this ennemy to be revealed before any physical violence.
There was a prototype design that a German student, Philip Frenzel, produced in 2018 that used the accelerometers to detect freefall and push out little spring claws to protect the device. It was supposed to be in production circa 2019 I think but I can't see evidence that it made it. YouTube has videos.
True. And a couple other points from someone invested in the Milwaukee ecosystem (which I assume are similarly true for Dewalt and others). The batteries are common enough that knockoffs are readily available. This would seem to be the objective - competition among battery suppliers. The problem is the off-brand batteries are hit and miss at best. I still have the first two M18 batteries I bought at least twelve years ago. They've been charged countless times and are still going strong. The branded batteries are annoyingly expensive, and yet worth the money in my experience. On the other side of the equation, there are plenty of off-brand accessories that utilize the batteries. I have an LED shop light that uses them, for example. And beyond that there are little adapters that attach to the batteries with wires that let you power whatever at 18v. My kids just participated in a power wheels "demolition derby" last weekend (they attach balloons to the power wheels and the kids pop each other's balloons). Both of their power wheels were borrowed from different people, and both were converted to run off Milwaukee M18 batteries. I'd wager most of the rest out there were too.
>"Today is a big win for European citizens and for tax justice." She said Ireland granted Apple "unlawful state aid which Ireland now has to recover. And this judgement is final." She also described the ruling as a "win for the level playing field in the Single Market."

The “level playing field” is what it’s really about. Ireland captured all of Apple’s banking in exchange for lower taxes. Ireland was happy because of the enormous liquidity, Apple was happy to save money.

The rest of the EU banks wanted Apple’s money too, but couldn’t offer the same deal. So this lawsuit.
Show HN: AI Hug – The 6th Website Built by a Newbie Developer
----Background----

I'm primarily a tech support guy, originally with no connection to development. But in the last couple of years, AI has advanced so rapidly that even a novice like me can leverage its power to build websites.

Due to economic pressures lately, I've been exploring ways to make money overseas, which is why I'm learning web development.

This site is my 6th project. Of my first 5 sites, three were built with WordPress, which didn't really involve much development. The fourth site was made using JS, HTML, Tailwind, and Cloudflare, but as a practice exercise, I only created a simple static page.

For the fifth site, I jumped straight into using the trendy Next.js framework. With the help of third-party APIs, I built a site for automatic image expansion. However, it hasn't gained traction yet. Oddly enough, despite adding many backlinks, only the one from a site was picked up by Google Search Console.

----Main Point----

After reviewing my experience with these previous sites, I've realized that it's not necessary to develop all the features before launching. Instead, it's better to start with a landing page, focus on SEO, and then develop additional features once the site's Google ranking improves. With my previous site (https://aiexpandimage.org), I finished the landing page in just a few hours, but spent a good week or two developing the features.

Currently, the average Google ranking is around 64, so it'll take time to gradually add backlinks and promote the site.

I've wisened up now. For my new site (https://ai-hug.org), I've only created a landing page. I'm focusing on SEO first, and I'll develop the core features and payment system once the traffic starts coming in.
Very cool! I remember Winamp well and love the nostalgia factor, in addition to all the other thoughtful design considerations you mentioned. Fun write-up too!
I like that app, too.

The reading is very natural overall, though sometimes the emphasis is a bit off. What catches my ear is when Word A in a sentence receives stronger stress than Word B, but the longer context suggests that actually it should be Word B with the greater emphasis. An inexperienced human reader might miss that as well, but a professional narrator who is thinking about the overall meaning would get it right.

I prefer professional human narration when it is available, but the Reader app’s ability to handle nearly any text is wonderful. AI-read narration can have another advantage: clarity of enunciation. Even the most skillful human narrator sometimes slurs a consonant or two; the ElevenLabs voices render speech sounds distinctly while still sounding natural.

I know it may seem like a weird reason but I think MySQL Workbench is a MUCH better tool than any other open source interface for interacting with PostgreSQL. I usually use PostgreSQL for other reasons, but MySQL Workbench is the main thing which makes the decision difficult for me.
Never really thought of this. I don't know much about colour blindness. We use visual means as much our sense of taste and smell to judge food. Are people with colour blindness more likely to eat food that's gone bad. Are they likely to consume inedible berries/mushrooms etc that the rest of us can recognise due to their colour?

If you're seriously worried about your health, the only solution is to reduce your working hours. If you're making decent progress with side projects and you have the financial means (no dependents, no debt, savings) I would quit your job if you think you prevent overwork :).

"Gender critical" in what sense?
The opposite, no? The government accepted _much_ less money than is required in exchange for jobs for their constituents.

This is an example of a government prioritizing benefits for some of their constituents (emphasis on some) over the collection of tax dollars (direct benefit to the "government") or monetary reward for themselves (corruption).

Just the use of Tor, in Australia* at least, raises a law enforcement red flag (edit: not enough to justify a raid on its own, but a data point in that direction).

So I was specifically told by a detective.

*Australia has laws that requires ISPs to keep metadata for at least two years.
I have no way to give a percent figure. 1%? But it doesn't matter, since there is a known 0% survival rate using the known treatments for SSC. In those cases it should be the patient's choice if they want a slow painful slide or if they want to roll the dice with something well considered but less well tested before the chemo wears them down to the point where their strength and immune system are worn down from multiple rounds of chemo. Effectively, the right to donate your body to science.
The game studio I worked for hated side loading. It's often used by fake sites (including crypto mining and identity theft sites) to offer "free" apps which are really just APKs from legitimate publishers.

The user is left with an app that won't be updated or get bug fixes and may not even work at all because of ongoing changes in the game server and its APIs.

Our game was entirely free to play and there was no way to get any additional stuff by using a side loaded APK from someone else.

To make matters worse, users put themselves at risk when they enter their personal information like passwords and payment info into these illegitimate APKs as it can be captured by modified versions of the apps, which is why folks distribute them.

does the UK have an income tax?

Any sane country would rather have the economic boost from the jobs and then take their cut as income tax from that. than tax the company directly, Not to say they will not tax the company, but corporate law is often intentionally designed to let a company pay little tax if it is dumping the money it makes into the economy. why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

Sorry, I don't know anything about VAT, but in Australia, consumers pay 10% on all products except food, financial services, and a few other things.

When Apple sells an phone to a consumer in Australia, 10% of the sale price is collected by the retailer, and paid directly to the government, rather giving the full sale price to Apple, then allowing Apple to work out later what was profit and what was not.

There are mixed feelings about it, but I've always liked it. If you consume a lot of stuff, you pay a lot of tax. Sounds fair to me.

I bought my first 3D printed object, an adapter from one brand to another. (second and third where battery and tool holders for the wall, I thought that was cool there are practical mini-factories in peoples homes now)

It works well, I leave it in one tool (blower) we use a lot.

But I think theoretically mixing them might increase the chance of a fire or tool damage because the packs are different. Something something current cutoff, low voltage protection, no idea in practice if it's a real problem.

Battery tools are amazing and getting more Star Trek every year, try not to get the EU to slow them down too much.

Understanding the Kubernetes Readiness Probe: A Tool for Application Health
There's a user on reddit with a bunch of alts that keeps spamming the conspiracy theory that SpaceX is a front by the military and intelligence agencies to funnel money into building a missile defense shield. They like to point to an AI chat with Twitter/X's Grok as proof.

It's true that some people connected to SpaceX were also interested in missile defense, but that's hardly unusual given that we're talking about the intersection between defense and the aerospace industry.

To the extent that SpaceX enables missile defense it's in the same way they enable any other space endeavor, as a natural consequence of lowering the cost of lifting payloads to orbit.

I had never heard of "top byte ignore," but it reminds me of the macOS migration to "32-bit clean" software as the hardware began to support more than the low 24 address lines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS_memory_manageme...

The other approach is CompressedOops, where instead of wasting pointer bits (and maybe using them for tags), Java's HotSpot VM chooses to only store a 32-bit offset for an eight-aligned heap object if the entire heap is known to fit within 2^(32+3) which is 32 GB from its base address.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22398251

And didn't somebody write about creating a large aligned arena for each type and essentially grabbing the base address of the arena as a (non-unique) type tag for its objects? Then the moving GC would use these arenas as semispaces.
Powershell's CSV, XML and JSON handing is my favourite Powershell feature. Completely agree with you that it beats a *nix shell and things like jq. If I was interacting with those all day I might be convinced to use it more.

What I mean by parsing as text was more about actual commands.

I wasn't expecting 1:1, but as an example, let's say I wanted to get a list of local users on a machine.

On Windows I can use "Get-LocalUser". It returns an object with properties you can filter, output with a format, etc. Basic stuff that saves me doing any thinking. I like that. It's amazing how column titles add to the user friendliness.

On Linux, Get-LocalUser doesn't exist, so I could run something like "getent passwd". It's only option is to return a screen of text. There's no structure yet, just lines and colons. Now I can (even though I shouldn't) grab fields with cut, or awk, and filter with grep, and maybe output something pretty at the end with column. What does the 5th column mean again?

So on the Linux side, I've never been very motivated to use it, since I often have to fall back to old ways anyway.
Hey HN,

I tried Canny to collect customer feedback and build the right features, but…

1. It’s has way too many features for a solo dev 2. $99/month… really?

So I built a free alternative called FeatureFlow.tech:

- Collect feedback from your customers

- Prioritize features

- Build a product users love.

But if that gets the business premises raided, rather than the homes of the operators, then that's at least a partial win.

Developers and on HN sure, but the web runs on LAMP (mostly WP). Also, it is sure possible to optimise your postgres setup, but we had some scaling/sharding niche cases where mysql worked and performed out of the box and postgres was (is) struggling; I am not very interested wasting my life trying to get it to work while mysql just works without any tweaking (for that case: other cases we still pick mysql as it always performs the same or better than postgres for our cases; it doesn't have all the features pg has, but we don't need those (yet)). I have not seen the reverse yet.

Git Bash is an elegant solution that brings some of the awesome Gnu utilities and does it on Windows terms and effortlessly. No shoehorn needed.

WSL is handy (those times I'm forced to use Windows - which is still better than when I'm forced to use Mac) but you have to remember the whole time you're in WSL, you're in Linux proper and all things work as Linux, generally, sort of. Git Bash is the power of Gnu right on Windows.

I'm a Godot contributor.

The 3d renderer is okay, but I'm hesitant to call it good. It's not as good as Unity nor Unreal, imo.

The internal profiler really sucks.

Everything is possible if "some work". Porting to PlayStation 5 is probably a lot of work.

I'm a Godot fan boy, but we gotta be honest about its flaws.

If your targeting 3D on console, definitely go with Unity or Unreal imo.
