Legitimate warfighting is where sensible pacifist civilians have a sufficient notice and a chance to leave the intended warzone with their belongings before the war starts. It is also where military, industrial, and infrastructural targets are the only targets, where reasonable efforts are made to avoid targeting civilians. Legitimate warfighting brings freedom in the end, whereas illegitimate warfighting takes it away.
And then nobody goes on to bat eyes at the galling maintenance costs, insurance, registration, or taxes on cars, but yeah $4k (or euro or gbp) for an e bike seems like a stupid idea to people for some reason. I think it’s either bad marketing on the part of the ebike folks or pernicious effort on the part of car manufacturers.

Compared to a fume-spitting van, yes they can be more expensive to operate. Compared to a fancy e-van for which supply is limited, maybe not. You may be missing the local government not liking fume-spitting vans in the inner center.
The interesting thing about that is that no one in my (limited) experience uses the session view as it was intended to be used for music composition. After trying it for a bit, everyone seems to revert back to using the linear Arrangement view. Session view is still useful in some performance cases, but it makes me wonder if it would make sense to have it as an optional view, and not as the default view for all sessions.
Consumers are very sensitive to upfront cost.

There's a vicious cycle of automobile orientated development creating demand for cars. Cars are considered essential transportation tools. Bikes are considered nice to have recreational, fitness, or kids' toys. So people aren't willing to spend thousands on a bike unless it can replace a car.

> Compile time is still PITA

This is Rust's Achilles heel and has been since almost day one. Once a project is at a nontrivial scale, it really starts to weight it down. I'm working on a Rust/C++/QT QML desktop app and I've spent the last week refactoring my crates/libraries so I can split them off as shared libraries that can be built independently, otherwise even incremental builds can take minutes. Thankfully there are some crates to make a stable ABI and dynamic reload.

> LLMs rarely help with a proper solution, as most of the packages are kind of niche.

This has also bitten me quite a bit but at the same time, I've been impressed with what Claude 3.5 and o1-preview have been able to do with Rust even with niche libraries like cxx-qt - a relatively new library with little in the training data. A lot of stuff like writing Rust implementations of QAbstractListModel works really well when given the right context (like an example implementation of another list model).

LLMs have also been a boon for writing macros, both macro_rules and proc macros.

Ask HN: Is Nextcloud a Great Alternative to Dropbox/Google Drive for Startups?
I was wondering how easy and reliable it is to work with NextCloud in any professional setting. Does it put too much maintenance work on DevOps to a level that makes just using things like dropbox the standard way? I read that German government uses nextcloud because it offers better control over data. Do the companies care about this matter too? or should I just learn big cloud alternatives?
The commenter believes the video should take less time and contain a higher percentage of strictly factual information.

A text analogy might be a recipe written in simple style, steps, ingredients, etc. and one you might find on a food blog where there is an intro about their childhood, how Nana was the best and along the way, somewhere in there one might learn how to prepare the food.

In this case, the video producer made pretty good choices about info density and content length.

The commenter disagrees and here we are chatting about all that.
In a car-hostile/bike-friendly city, they're going to be able to move much faster than a car, so the only downside is that you need to plan shorter routes/return to the base more often. Which probably isn't as big of a drag in a compact city as you'd think.

A cargo bike with a 90x60x60cm box can fit 36 packages assuming a 15x20x30 size (weight will not be the limiting factor for the typical "one piece of electronics and some air" packages). 36 stops with 5 minutes per stop (travel + stopping and delivering the package) is 3 hours.
Yeah, scale is the problem. The market is tiny compared to cars and even motorcycles. Brands like RAD and Lectric do compete on price and as a result they sell higher volumes than the nicer expensive R&Ms or Urban Arrows or whatever.
I believe it is a good idea, especially because there is a huge CYA industry out there and Gartner owns a huge chunk of it. But very difficult to implement correctly.

For example this one has a serious issue. It doesn't consider that things might have changed. So, a review might be complaining about a missing feature in a particular product but now fully implemented.

I asked it for a side by side comparison for two enterprise products. It told me that a particular feature was missing from the product. I googled and found the referenced review from Jun 2022. The feature in question was implemented in 2023.
My first experience with exploring Gartner is going to be next week so I am curious how they handle such issues.
Agreed. And that you can't mark a folder as read. Everything else is stellar.

So what can the average citizen do about it? Start funding Consumer Reports and other watchdogs until they have literal armies of lawyers and mercenaries? Stage acts of consumer-led industrial sabotage until these corporations are driven out of business until presumably better actors rise up in the market? To go back to my original post, neither business reputation nor customer boycotts would seem to have any effect. So if you were to deny the government the ability to regulate, then all you’re left with is vigilantism.

My spouse and I recently got identical Lenovo tablets. I got mine for reading sheet music, but of course can't pass up the chance to see how close it gets to being a laptop replacement. It's the first device that was close enough to leave my laptop at home on a recent trip... and travel 2 pounds lighter.

Don't know if it's unique to Lenovo or part of Android in general, but these tablets do support the windowing feature. It's Android 13.

Definitely agree that startups have to find a foothold somewhere, and basically land and expand from there.

If we take B2B products for example, it's super common to niche down into a specific industry and then expand out to adjacent ones, and so on.

But the build-in-public industry/niche is unique in that those customers aren't "real" businesses with "real" problems. Most of the followers are wantreprenuers with imagined problems.

So the risk is, instead of building a solid foundation to expand from, you might just be building the wrong thing altogether and doing it on quicksand (those pyramid scheme dynamics I was talking about).
I build in public, but I never share numbers. I find that it attracts the wrong sort of people, and a particularly boring kind of conversation about money and growth and the icky business-y bits.

I do work with the garage door open though. I share screenshots, ask for feedback, and show off the little details I spent a lot of time on. It’s basically a DVD commentary for the stuff I am about to release

This attracts the right kind of people, and sparks the right kinds of conversations. I am basically involving fellow builders in my design process, and hyping what I am working on to my audience and industry peers. It is a good way to make friends.
You might have missed the exchange rate a little. The cheapest Dacia Sandero is over $18k USD, more than 3x the $5k idea. But you can get very nice e-cargo-bikes for $2-3k, and you’re comparing one of the cheapest cars anywhere to the fanciest electric cargo bikes available, which is almost like comparing a $100 Walmart Huffy with a basket to a Porsche. Look for reasonably priced cargo bikes, and you can easily find them.
After over 15.000 Km of cycling with our bakfiets, I think I oiled the chain maybe 20 times. Replaced the tires once (and a few spokes due to user error/ring lock still locked+kick stand+two kids in the bike is not a good combo). Still on the first chain and cassette. I have never cleaned a chain.

Maybe your carbon bike with expensive options to save every last gram of weight requires so much maintenance, but any proper Dutch city bike or bakfiets made of steel will last very long with minimal maintenance

It's the combination of power, weight, no barrier to entry and overall lack of imagination/consideration in the general public that concerns me.

> have to keep paying regardless of whether you want or need any of the features being introduced

This here is the misunderstanding. A better way to phrase it is that you have to keep paying if you'd like the software to work.

On most platforms just keeping up with the OS and library changes requires plenty of work and it is unreasonable to expect someone to do this without constant income.

Now, when I'm a customer, I see things differently: if I use the software and I intend to rely on it, I want the developer to survive, so that they can maintain and develop the software in the long term. Paying a one-time fee will not result in a sustainable business, so the software will eventually die, disappear, or get acquired, none of which is good for me.

Downvote me all you want (HN can be really narrow-minded at times), but when I look at new software that I intend to rely on, one of the main things I consider is whether the developer has a sustainable business model. If they don't, I don't want to invest my time into learning, migrating to, or integrating their software.

Incidentally, I've been running a solo SaaS business for a number of years now. It's B2B only. Seeing the knee-jerk downvoting reaction here only convinces me that not providing any B2C plans was the right choice. I just give my service away for free to hobbyists.
Hezbollah has tens of thousands of fighters. Hundreds of deaths, even thousands of injuries, would impact about 10-20% of their force. Don't get me wrong, that's a significant disruption! But will that really "prevent even one more attack like that which Hezbollah killed 12 Israeli children"?

It's been 23 years since the US kicked off the war on terror, and 21 years since the "mission accomplished" speech, so I think it's worth asking: How'd we do?
I've watched skywind with anticipation for quite a while now.
Yup, I've seen it also.

None of the snail mail garbage, but I couldn't pry anything out of the portal. The first attempt with the insurance company produced an e-mail that was utterly useless. The second attempt, when I spelled out the problem with the first, produced a completely different list when it should have been a subset except with a greater distance. Of that list I could reject some based on their websites, some were utterly wrong based on calling the office (and in one case a "never heard of them") one had been in an accident and wasn't currently accepting new patients and that left one. And it was the closest one I had looked at, the distance bit was most certainly not relevant.

They need to put a much shorter timeline on the insurance coming up with a suitable practitioner. Say, maybe a day rather than 60 days. And maybe a month to actually get an appointment. And, for an existing situation the clock is set by any important scripts the patient might have. (My hunt was triggered by my getting dumped by the system--I had been grandfathered in when the practice changed. Then the doctor left and the grandfathering ended.)
Most people I see using those 5k cargo bikes also have a car.

It’s far from new. In 2012 I worked for a shop who used an internal package named “hy”, and the introduction of this Hy made our builds break in a novel and interesting way.

(Also, use something to insure your own internal packages have a higher priority, alright? That’s a lesson I didn’t need to learn twice.)

I don't see the OP's framing as dishonest -- on the contrary, I see it as basically correct.

It's not the the Israel tweet was intending to literally say "protests == terrorists". The whole point is that was innuendo. It didn't have to be literally correct -- only to convey an insinuation and/or an emotional message.

And it seems pretty clear that emotional message was very much intentional in this case. It's also perfectly congruent with the number one insinuation / emotional message the hasbara folks have been repeating incessantly for decades (and in recent years, not merely as an insinuation but literally -- even so far as to have it successively encoded as legislation in multiple countries): "All protest/critique/doubt of Israeli policy or narratives == anti-semitism".

And perhaps we can leave it at that? I mean you can respond of course, but I'm not sure I have much more energy for this. I guess it's pretty clear that I'm pretty fed up with that country's official (and unofficial) propaganda machine, and all the mindless crap it's been spewing for decades and decades. And so I'm kind of tired of looking for reasons to give it the benefit of the doubt.

If you have a different take, then that's fine for you of course.
