I agree it's good enough for random aesthetic stuff, but even outdoor stuff is silly to use it for if you care about aesthetics. It really does rust pretty quickly these days. I have plenty of EMT that is 20 years old and not rusted, and plenty next to it that is 5 years old and rusty.

The latter is from different vendors, too. The specs over the years have gotten worse because nobody really uses EMT outdoors without painting it unless they are willing to accept it rusting to crap.

For your case, you could just use pvc pipe, cheaper, bends easier, cuts easier, can be glued directly, will never rust, you don't care about weight limits.

However, if you remember where we started, this article is about "structural pipe fittings" for EMT.

That is a horrible horrible idea.
Of course it's what happened.
If it can be used for NSFW isn’t that a useful differentiator? A lot of AI tech these days is censored either on moral or political or legal grounds.
Everyone's life will be better than anyone's life is now? That is some impressively breathless optimism.

I dunno Sam, groceries have gotten awfully expensive.
I've heard this argument a million times, but I am very skeptical: where would the reliable data on infant mortality in ancient times come from? (so that it would allow us to compute precise values of average lifespan). All we have from those times are a few bone samples and a few anecdotes preserved in fragments.

I'm not saying anything for or against the ~33 years claim, just that I doubt that it comes from a precise estimate of expected lifespan at birth.
The main thing I see (and it is possible I’m biased by some of these same factors), is that it does seem to make some moderately helpful tools? Like coding assistants, to knock out boilerplate.

Maybe if it could make a developer twice as effective, it could halve the developers to project ratio. Jevons paradox, and we get twice as many projects, great. But the management requirements would be different, right? If teams are half as large, wouldn’t expect management to just, like, go away. But the tree might be able to lose some middle “summarize and pass up” levels, right?

Not currently having any plans of using openfreemap, but I like the cut of your jib. I'm currently in the process of generating aerial tiles for Colorado, and updating 2 of our map tile sets (bitmap tiles, Here and OpenStreetMap), but at some point we should switch to vector tiles. When we do I'll try to get a business sponsorship going, but it is nearly impossible for me to get the company to pay for sponsorship. :-(

There is an open source clone of Winamp called XMMS.

Uh, no. None of that explains the fact that the large structure of the galaxies we observe is not possible without extra mass. This has nothing to do with observational error or rounded calculations. The shape of the galaxies and their internal structures are clearly wrong.

Besides, this also ignores the fact that we observe galaxies both with and without dark matter. These galaixes have very different structures that cannot arise from the same physics unless we consider dark matter.
Yeah, I spun up some projects specifically for resume enhancement/something to demo in an interview, and while they didn't end up as feature-complete or as clean as I'd hoped they were enough to score me a job I wanted.

So they accomplished their intended task, hence they are "finished" in that sense. I could keep enhancing them, but I'm now getting paid to apply those same skills to much cooler stuff 40 hours a week, so the itch is very well scratched.
These conversations usually turn into philosophical or religious arguments around life. My opinion is that suicide is completely valid and should not be stigmatized or illegal. Making it "off limits" and scary is how you isolate and drive people towards more unreliable and violent methods of killing themselves.

Yes, death is very sad and uncomfortable but it's a part of life. Whether we leave at 25 or 80 is still equally sad but I don't see it any different. It should be our choice.
I’m responding directly to OP saying it’s impossible for someone to have seen another of these because he just made it.

The best thing we can do for the future of the project is to NOT engage with the project at this time ... Even just cloning the project into your private workspace to review / compile is giving more engagement than their current licensing stance warrants.

I'll check again when an HN post comes out stating they've changed their licensing stance - Until then, closing this tab and forgetting about it ...
I mean if a business if built on top of your business, is it actually illegal to say "Pay me if you want continued access?" Is it the wording that makes it illegal?
With our custom columnar format and indexes, we are able to filter relevant data files where high cardinality column is present. This helps us to keep the queries faster for high cardinality labels as well, thus, allowing us to quickly drill down on specific pod_id/cluster_id/customer_id kind of labels.

Ya the one between your ears. Kidding! Maybe Sourcegraph Cody https://sourcegraph.com/cody, or possibly Github copilot. I think Cody might handle the multiple files better, and allows you to pick from multiple models.
Fascinating! It's the other way around for me. Most of the tech people I talk about it with dismiss it as a stochastic parrot and very much don't trust it, and it's the non-tech people that rave about their new friend that knows and will explain everything.

Don't know about Java or Rust, but in C++ it's much harder to get new packages, which works wonder to keep number of dependencies down.

In Python, installing packages is so simple, people just do it after 10 second google search - and that library can pull dozens or hundreds of dependencies with usually no review.

In C++, given that you have to manually find the library and incorporate into the build system, people generally spend a few minutes looking at the options and choosing the best one - and this includes checking for things "how long has this library been around", "does it have many users" and "is it in healthy state". And this must be repeated for each dependency as well, so that even a dozen of dependencies is a huge negative - and such library will not be used unless there are no better alternatives.

(The exception to this rule are libraries provided by your Linux distribution. Those can be easily installed by the dozen, and that's OK - the distribution makers did all the hard work for you, vetting and packaging those libraries)

This in general means a much healthier dependency state for C++, as well as much higher code quality. No one is going to add a dependency to a core library just to add a better progress bars for example.
That "noise" would be called dark energy until we understand its source.
I like the way of your thinking buddy! I hope everybody in the world would just ask like you every time they tackle a problem.
Have you pasted the documentation or asked it to search for recent docs on the task at hand? If not, you're using it wrong.
I love the BASIC assembler on the BBC Micro and Archimedes. It is a work of art.

Incidentally, the fully buildable Lander source code in the website's accompanying git repository is also in BBC BASIC format - as an attempt to imagine what the original source might have looked like.

A Python script converts it to vasm-compatible format for compiling, but you can also build it on a real Archimedes if you want to. See https://lander.bbcelite.com/about_site/building_lander.html for details.
A 5 megaton bomb will collapse buildings in a 6-7km radius and then set the entire city on fire. China could level Albuquerque with a single Dong-Feng 5. Especially if they use their 12 1MT warhead MIRV configuration.

Fusion weapons are in a whole new ballgame compared to 15kt Hiroshima weapon. While nuclear weapons tend to scale logarithmically with regards to damage, it hardly matters when the weapons are 300x more energetic. That doesn't even take into account the much higher levels of fallout from U-238 tampered high yield weapons.
PVC pipe does not survive outdoors, and the failure mode is messy.

"Structural" does not necessarily mean "very strong".

I think we mostly agree here though. I've used EMT for lots of things, and it has never ever let me down even slightly. I have also chosen square steel tubing for (less frequent) cases.

Choosing carefully is the key. When EMT fits, it's great stuff and preferable in many ways.

Show HN: Scroll-It – a Reddit thread auto-scroller for subreddit image threads
Hey there!

I want to tell you about Scroll-It (https://scroll-it.xyz), a little side project I've been working on. I first made it back in 2020 to learn about VueJS and Vuetify, and I've just finished giving it a big update. You can see the source code on github (https://github.com/modelorona/scroll-it)

Scroll-It is a simple gallery auto-scroller that lets you look through Reddit image posts. You can either go through them manually in the gallery view, or you can start a slideshow from any picture.

I recently rewrote the whole thing to work with newer versions of Vue and Vuetify.

The new version does pretty much the same stuff as before, but it should work faster and use your screen space more effectively. It does not have a backend and instead queries the Reddit JSON API directly, parses it, and displays the images.

While working on this, I got help from AI tools like Claude, Codium, and ChatGPT. Claude was usually the most helpful, especially for tricky questions. Codium was good for small tasks but struggled with complex queries.

I've got some ideas for what to add next, like using keyboard shortcuts, server-side rendering, and lazy-loading images.

I'd love to know what you think about Scroll-It! Add a comment below, or feel free to submit an issue directly on the github.
I was expecting there to a be a HyperSkill Rust course announcement in there, but there wasn't. Is anyone aware of a resource like that out there?

Israel has been trying this strategy since the inception of Zionism and not only has it not worked, it's created a massive amount of armed resistance. Sure enough, massive waves of rocket attacks have been coming from Lebanon since Israel's terrorist pager attack.

It sounds like you're around Zionists, no one I've spoken to has anything but deep resentment toward Israel and that spans many different demographics.

I wish them well but ActivityPub feels to me a bit like XMPP: makes sense at a "techie's abstraction" level, but unless you can drag whole communities away from their favourite walled gardens, it won't get enough traction.

My advice would be to target the teens. They seem to switch social nets at the drop of a hat (speaking as the father of one). Get a bunch onto your network, then let them experience the fact they can still speak to their mates on another network. Then the penny might drop and you'll soon get them proselytising about the benefits of federation.
I am all for reverse Hanlon[0]: don't assume incompetence when people profit from something. I think however that "source available" is a legit business model, and not just a HN hack.

I'm not arguing origins. I am saying that irrespective of the path by which it arrived at that, in modern English at least, the order in which things are read in the order they are spoken, as is the case for the rest of the symbols in our written language (and therefore the "natural order"), is big-endian.

Something else may have been "natural" for some other languages spoken at some other time and place, but...
We use a local disk to temporarily stage data before putting it on S3. We have smaller WAL (write ahead log) objects, and a periodic compaction process which creates read-optimized files on S3.

Python classes are basically dictionaries that have a distinct type bound to them. Alternatively you can subclass from dictionary to give yourself a distinct type but still be a dictionary. Slotted classes are basically named tuples (and of course, Python has actual named tuples and dataclasses), so there's a lot of ways to "tag" a collection with a specific type in mind.

I didn't read the article (can't afford to pay WSJ) but I'm curious. Isn't any place safe so long as you've anonymized yourself?
Am I missing something or do you have to make a decision without being provided a single example of an upper-case character?

The idea is great, thanks for sharing! But att I don't feel it provides enough sample data to really make an informed decision.
Every code generator I’ve used makes me think developers jobs are plenty safe at the moment from an AI takeover. You can’t seem to spend your way to a solution of producing good data. Nvidia is certainly enjoying watching people try though.

What has been "provided" is the stripped down 5.666 source bundle given to radionomy when sold on from AOL & the end result of their iterations up to the 5.9.2 release. So it's made up of the however many years of the 1.x -> 2.x -> 5.x development process & however many different people hacked upon it in that time (aka a mess).

Yes there's a large part of winamp3 in there which was already long since open sourced properly in the aol era (unlike this heavily restricted licensing terms) but from what I remember when making the code deliverable the dedicated winamp3 repository was never provided (assuming my memory from 11yrs ago is still good).

If you don't know anything about OpenBSD, here's a fun thing:

1. Randomly choose "yes" or "no" to this question.

2. Read the post and get the answer.

3. Repeat until you begin to get a tingly "Spidey sense" that overrides your random-choice.

My Spidey sense here was, "Yes, because OpenBSD would have already thought about and covered that use-case." And indeed, toward the end of the post, that contingency is covered and documented.

Note: if you try this at your job and sense that the company will almost always choose the worst option, you should probably leave that job.

The full Firehose provides two major verification features. First it includes a signature that can be validated letting you know the updates are signed by the repo owner. Second, by providing the MST proof, it makes it hard or impossible for the repo owner to omit any changes to the repo contents in the Firehose events. If some records are created or deleted without emitting events, the next event emitted will show that something's not right and you should re-sync your copy of the repo to understand what changed.
If you're buying hardware that has any possibility of harming someone or doing any amount of non-trivial damage if it fails from AliExpress or Amazon, you're doing it wrong and should reconsider whatever it is you're doing. Even the hardware from HD is generally pretty shitty these days. If you can't afford or won't go buy it from Fastenal or MMC or somewhere reputable, where you can expect the hardware you're buying actually adheres to a stated grade or spec, you just shouldn't do it.
> I still cannot fathom how it is that image gen is still so far ahead of LLMs in regards to prompting (still can’t weigh prompts for chatGPT but I can on any image generator).

Is that something you'd really have use for? In case of images it's easier to immediately judge the effect of a prompt change and its direction. LLMs just blurt out a blob of text that you have to read and analyze every time. Even when rerolling the output for the same prompt, you get a very different-looking result. I find comparing a large number of prompt-output pairs very exhausting. Meanwhile, scrolling through a set of outputted images is a breeze, and the output quality is comparable at first glance.

LLM prompts can also be much longer, consisting of multiple sets/layers of instructions, etc. You just slap a new sentence at the end to modify the behavior. Meanwhile, for image generators it feels like every word counts, and can sometimes take the output in an unintended direction, hence the need for surgical control over word weights.
So what I'm hearing is that you don't have a use case for having 44 LLMs on your phone simultaneously, aside from testing different LLMs for the sake of testing different LLMs. There's no way a user would want to keep all 44 LLMs around indefinitely; nobody could possibly remember which one they prefer for which type of query across that many models. I can believe there are uses for having a handful of models around and for trying out new ones when they become available, but I can't see many users bothering to thoroughly evaluate dozens of models at once.

Really strange how so many people have no common sense about how public available online-communication is. I've seen people complaining in broad public on social networks, and claiming it's safe, because they only have so few followers, so their boss will never see it... Big surprise when they were still warned or even fired over their rants when somehow it still found their way to their boss.

And this article seems to be about company-owned channels, which is even worse, because everyone should understand how not safe those spaces are for rants about the company of co-workers/bosses.

> PVC pipe (the white stuff) does very poorly with exposure to UV light

To my understanding, this is primarily an aesthetic issue. PVC pipes have been tested over years of UV exposure and remain structurally sound. This is a topic that comes up periodically on the pool forums since it is pretty common to have some amount of exposed PVC pipes above ground.
