> The movie Challengers this year portrayed the most relatable depiction of regret ive ever seen. Made me feel like the intrusive memories of mistakes i live with daily, and keep to myself, are a universal experience. Knowing that living with regret is part of life helped me embrace it. Now i can think of it as, "my brain doing that thing that all brains do" then move on without a mental breakdown.

Thanks, I didn't want to watch that movie because even though I was interested by the setting I was not interested in the drama (and headlines I read in my feeds made it clear it was about drama). But your comment makes me reconsider.

Yeah, regrets like not telling "I love you" or telling it or "let's wait a bit before becoming parents" or "let's go for this career" or "don't call that friend back", etc. Those regrets.

Try not to make up too many regrets, people.
What a ridiculous take. Kids or adults don't bully because they saw it in the movies.
omg, I'm an actual old fart accountant...
"quickbooks" is good enough for small businesses (though I 100% appreciate the problems it has)
if you need something robust with more controls, you either just use netsuite/etc. or something more specialized for your industry

and FFS, only go the route of custom code as a last resort, you are better off slightly changing your business process to match whatever workflow/etc. is in the OTS ERP instead of having some cheap crappy dev (only crappy since most who do ERP programming are often not well paid) shoehorn your (likely ill conceived) process or report into the existing ERP...
Also chimeras exist (even natural ones)
I don't think it's crazy for a NAS to provide an IMAP server, e.g. to backup or archive a large mailbox.

One of the selling points of a NAS is that storage is much cheaper than what the large cloud providers charge per GB and month.

Atlassian's primary sin is listening to PMs for features.

As a subset of users, they seem to want the flexibility of Excel, except it also has the specific workflow they want out of the box (which is different for every PM).

Every product that's chased that rabbit down the hole has ended up with something customizable enough that (a) users need training to actually use it & (b) nobody is ever trained on it.

I'm sure Jira is great... if I and everyone else at the company went to a two-week training course on configuring and using it. But none of those people, nor I, am ever going to do that.

Tl;dr - project management/tracker tools should have a complexity feature cap, defined by what a reasonable person can intuit in the course of normal use over a month.

Generally speaking, they aren’t short staffed because there aren’t enough nurses, but because they can’t/won’t pay them enough. Those same hospitals hire large numbers of travel nurses to supplement their “short staff” at pay rates double or triple a local nurse.

And the nurses who want decent pay and can do travel nurse, do travel nurse
The post-mortem is honest, but the infrastructure is well below what I'd expect from commercial services.

If a commercial provider told me they're dependent on a single physical server, with no real path or plans to fail over to another server if they need to, I would consider it extremely negligent.

It's fine to not use big cloud providers, but frankly it's pretty incompetent to not have the ability to quickly deploy to a new server.
A very healthy life perspective, one you can't just get without walking the proverbial line and looking back. At the end, probably the best path for you, but greed can be a powerful emotion even for strongest personalities.
The fact of unintended victims doesn't make an attack indiscriminate - it's a failure to distinguish military from civilian targets and/or using attacks that are as likely as not to kill civilians. You need to minimize civilian casualties, not prevent them entirely.

The targets here were, according to the reports seen so far, Hezbollah members - an organization currently at war with Israel. They were sent small charges in a format that could be reasonably expected to remain on or by the target, minimizing the likelihood of collateral damage.

This is not, btw, the same as saying "totally ok from a moral standpoint," or that the civilian deaths and injuries aren't bad, or that it wasn't irresponsible or evil or whatever you might think about it. I don't even necessarily think that the attack was a good move for Israel independent of the ethics. I just disagree that indiscriminate is an appropriate description - if anything, the discriminating and sophisticated way the bombs were delivered is part of what makes the thing disconcerting.
I realize I was a little glib in ignoring your comments on the right to a jury trial. This IS a gray area, in that you can be deprived of your property.

However, if there's a city planning board hearing on your application to remodel your house, you're not entitled to a jury. The IRS can assess penalties without a jury. So it's not as simple as "you have a right to a jury trial." The PTO awarded your patent, a process that might have included multiple appeals, without juries. Not all administrative procedures allow juries.

I attended one day of the Apple v. Samsung trial in San Jose. Google had a "war room" (I assume Apple did, too), which was a suite in a hotel where we had meals brought in, and held all the work product. You can't risk sitting around in a restaurant and having people overhearing and bothering you. The war room has a guard outside 24x7.

Expert witnesses are transported there and housed, and paid anywhere from $300 to $900 an hour. Most of the legal staff don't live in that city and have to travel there. Partners in big law firms bill at $1000 an hour or so.

Big money.

This is kind of my idea for how to update funeral rites in the time of science: When someone passes, fully sequence a number of samples of their genome and put the data into a really good archival medium. To me, this feels like a great way to preserve information about loved ones worth caring about (and potentially useful to their descendants), more so than the physical remains.

A family mausoleum full of ancestral DNA would be quite nice and meaningful, even if many other things about the person are lost. It's probably how I'd like to be "buried".

Maybe this is the suitable medium.
This is really interesting! The performance looks impressive. I’ve always struggled with the Redis/MySQL two-tier architecture because they are two completely different systems. Porting an application is always tricky due to API incompatibility, and maintaining consistency between the two is a huge hassle. If there’s any issue on the cache side (like performance jitters or a few servers going down), the DBMS part can quickly get overwhelmed. This kind of cascading failure is a common problem in distributed systems. There are some great discussions on this topic over at https://danluu.com/cache-incidents/. BTW, although the formatting is a bit rough, it's a great read for anyone interested in caching. Back to the topic, I always hoped that new advancements in database systems can alleviate or eliminate this problem, your work seems to be on the right track.
Lol shh, that much context isn't part of the narrative.
wow big companies with access to cheap financing aren't bothered by it but it destroys smaller companies that operate on a cash-flow basis, crazy who would have suspected that such a tax regime would be supported by big companies
Hot Code Reloading for Gleam
In general, FreedCAD has 3-axis tool path support, and I've met the kind local guy who started the original Path toolbox.

For 2.5D there are several engraver options with the inkscape mightyscape plugins (scorchworks etc.)

YMMV with the island-routing and surface probing routines:

Also, we are currently evaluating: viaconstructor, inkcut, GCAM ( https://github.com/blinkenlight/GCAM.git )

If you want 3D contouring operations, than you could also try:

git://pycam.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pycam/pycam

And note, if you patch CAMotics to compile on ubuntu 24.04.x it still has a number of Qt5 GUI problems (not entirely unexpected with Qt impact on LTS programs.)

There are also direct gcode generator macros that support the LinuxCNC/emc language extensions. This is the most accurate methodology for turning and milling ops.

Best of luck, =3
> There is no "clear way" to fix this. If there was, it would be used already.

What do you mean by "this"? When I said "this", I meant this specific form of tax avoidance. There is a clear way to fix it, as I mentioned.

When you say "this" it seems like you mean tax avoidance in general, in which case I would agree that there is no clear way to fix it.

And the US only established a national charging standard that it can incentive in February 2023 at that. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/02/28/2023-03...

Great stuff too, imo. Not just about charging plugs, but specifying standards for how cars communicate with chargers, mandating open APIs to show real time availability info (how many stations providing what charge outputs are available right now?); a full suite of requirements to make sure people can find working chargers & that cars can work with them.

Can someone explain to me how Broadcom's plan is supposed to be profitable in the long term?

I don't get it. You buy a company, then deliberately destroy it. How is that profitable? I get that there are tax benefits to being able to show massive losses, but certainly the net at the end is still a loss.

This replaces Teams or is an overlay?
Thanks. The reason still seem to be related to the uncertainty principle although I am not sure.

The same way they explain no-cloning but it seems to be analogous to identity within a system with interaction from neighboring data.
Ultimately there is no pure independent state. Data always exists within context. Hence causality and spatial preservation (no instant physical teleportation as far as is currently understood). (in very layman's terms)

>Sometime in the next twenty years. Economically viable fusion power is always 20 years away and has been for the last 50

Maybe you're right. But what if they do make progress? That would change a lot of things, wouldn't it?
So cool. Have there been any breakthroughs inspired by diatom shapes, in for instance mathematics or engineering or applied sciences?
Will this fix the problems it claims to? The power of R is the rich package ecosystem. It caters to people who don’t want to think about engineering concerns but want a fast way to access the powers of computation rather than building a scalable system, two very different things. It excels at the former. A new language will not fix this, because this type of thinking has infected the entire package ecosystem. Frankly with code translation you probably don’t need a new language. Prototype in R and code translate to Python or whatever you want to use in prod. Or frankly just do code gen directly in Python so you can skip having to confirm if the results match.

To be clear, I love R, it excels in prototyping but I have seen too many real world struggles of folks trying to move to prod that I would say save it for EDA projects and one time analyses.
Because the business/sales/marketing people around me actually bring value and I can't do it myself without them.
I suppose like anything, it's a preference based on where the majority of your experience is, and what you're using it for. If you're running things you've written and it's all done the same way, docker probably is just an extra step.

I personally run a bunch of software I've written, as well as open source things. So for me docker makes everything significantly easier, and saves me installing a lot of rubbish I don't understand well.
This was my experience with litecoin. I bought some back in the day when it was < $1 from my minimum wage job and sold it all when it "skyrocketed" to somewhere above $1. In the end I made a few thousand dollars and thought pretty good about it. Only a couple years later when it touched (if I recall correctly) close to $300 did I have regrets. Oh well.
Show HN: Minimal deck builder slot machine using emoji for graphics
Hi HN,

I made a small minimalist game that uses only emoji for graphics:

http://unicode.fun

This is heavily inspired by "Luck Be a Landlord", a really fun game. I've been interested in making a game only using emoji for a while, and this is the first one that I managed to turn into a real game. I hope the experience is not too clunky, I'm sure there are a ton of things that could be improved. The game looks very different across different OS-es, I personally like Windows emoji the most.

I appreciate all kinds of feedback, suggestions and input.
Ruby Weekly Issue 720: September 19, 2024
Is it possible? Sure, its possible. Would it actually be feasible and good? Probably not.

Take a look at WiFi-dense apartment buildings. So much crowding, no centralized assignment or management of the bands. It is a wild west of people transmitting on whatever channels and whatever power levels they want (within the legal limits). It ends up with few people actually having a good experience when there's no centralized management. 5GHz/6GHz makes WiFi more usable because it naturally limits your ability to hear your neighbors. Going to 700MHz/900MHz/1.2GHz (the normal frequencies used in a lot of 5G deployments) is only going the opposite direction of where WiFi has been going to solve this problem. Expect more noisy neighbor problems as you lower the frequencies.

Then we're not only going to saturate the bands with people doing whatever they want (within legal limits), we're going to depend on mesh routing through all that noise? There goes your reliability and efficiency of sending data.
it's the super customizable ones that end up adopted across large Enterprises. Flexible workflows I guess. eg Salesforce, Jira
Show HN: Numscript, a declarative language to model financial transactions
Numscript is a simple, declarative language that helps you model financial transactions. You can do quite a few things with it, such as modeling:

* Payments involving vouchers and a user's prepaid balance
* Complex funds destination scenario where the customer gets cash back
* Configurable user credit balance spending transactions

The main idea is to take the pain out of describing of a system dealing with money movements should behave in traditional languages such as JS/TS/Go/Ruby etc, landing an expressive way to model these movements of value.

It is voluntarily broad in applicability—our customers use it today for use-cases ranging from marketplaces funds orchestration to home-grown loan management systems.

Once those transactions are modeled, they are to be picked up and committed to a system-of-record, ledgering system or executed on a set of payments and banking APIs.

It was initially a DSL we bundled into our Core Ledger product at Formance (YCS21) but we're giving it more autonomy now and started to make it standalone, with the idea that anyone could eventually bolt Numscript on top of their ledgering system. We're also exploring to make it natively compatible with other backends.

As part of this un-bundling, we've just shipping a playground which lets you fiddle with it without installing anything at https://playground.numscript.org/ (it works best on desktop).

Happy to chime in on any questions!

I don’t 100% get the story. TLDR, skeptical due to the issue of the two 5G frequency ranges.

> Because 5G networks include spectrum comprising higher frequencies than 4G, base stations for 5G networks serve a smaller coverage footprint.

Sure

> It [the window antenna] is compatible with frequencies in the 5G Sub6 band—meaning signals that are less than 6 gigahertz (GHz). Sub6 antennas represent critical portions of a 5G deployment, as their lower frequency ranges penetrate barriers like walls and buildings better than the substantially higher-bandwidth millimeter-wave portions of the 5G spectrum.

But 4G seems to go into at least the 3-ish GHz range just fine. At least my layman understanding is that sub-6Ghz doesn’t have the range problem, the whole point of adding that (IMO, less-than-intuitive-to-consumers) frequency band was that (while it didn’t fulfill the bandwidth promises of 5G) it also didn’t have the range problem. So it is there to fill the gaps.

The ability to deploy sub-6GHz antennas everywhere seems like it misses the whole point of that band.

I’m sure there’s some advantage to the 5G tech in general, because it is newer. But that’s a different pitch, right?
People have very different views on this and there are no rules, but in my view one of the major benefits of pairing all the time is NOT doing code review.
You keep coming back to the tourism and inconvenience angle, but if you dial back to what the commenter -- who is also taking a significant risk in talking to us, so that you and I might have some hope of finding out how things are viewed by people in the country who are well-informed and definitely not brainwashed, outside of what the media echo chamber tells us to think -- actually said, that very clearly wasn't their point at all. And the point that they did make was perfectly valid.

Go back and read more carefully please.

(And also: they very obviously do register the problem you're referring to, and there's no way to read their statement otherwise).
Very cool. It would be great to have auto complete across cells.

Pivotal Labs was acquired by EMC back in the day. They bundled it with some cloud foundry work and created Pivotal. When Dell acquired EMC they also acquired a big share of Pivotal.

I used to have fun with that. Set Google Translate to Chinese (Or some other language I don't speak, though tonal languages seemed to work better), make some vague noises into it, and get out coherent but crazy phrases in English.
Is there a way it could eventually function like a P2P version of archive.org, so that if anyone has a copy of a page (at a point in time I suppose?), it's available to anyone in the network?

If I understand correctly, right now it's more of a self hosted tool for personal archiving (which is great -- I'm a user myself), but something even more resilient harnessing network effects would be great to see.

So from what I gather, we are observing either by accident or design a lack of a properly neutral term to designate non-state actors acting against a state's military. Because there is no shortage of material US support for such actors in recent history (I pointed out in another comment the Kurdish resistance in Syria), yet Anglophone media rarely consider US a state sponsor of terrorists.
> The interesting question then becomes: what is the deviance that has become normalized so broadly?

Welchian management. "Greed is good". It's so infected the American psyche that people believe corporate management has a fiduciary duty to shareholders to the point that they legally must put profit above all else. That is not in any way the case, and no law has formalized any such thing. It's a choice, a choice made every day in nearly every company, to create human suffering in pursuit of profit and to eschew any concept of loyalty or ethics.

Jack Welch destroyed GE doing this, and his acolytes destroyed IBM, Boeing, and many other American institutions. His brand of management has now become the only brand of management taught across nearly two generations of MBAs. It is now the normal culture of American corporations.
Ah, I do love the smell of fresh optimism in the morning!

I think the biggest challenges are that a) the vast majority of solo devs capable of pulling this off quickly are well-employed, and b) the timeline for MVP++ is effectively January 1st, else the migrators will make different decisions.

And that as soon as migrations happen, your storage costs will balloon, so you need a billing strategy on launch.
No thanks. You're obviously brainwashed by particular narratives, and have only absorbed one perspective of the facts that you were already emotionally dependent on. Not at all unusual on this topic.
