I don't know why, but it very much reminds me of Pimcore [1] back when they started. Not the functionality, but the feeling when I look at the code.

Pimcore was awesome, it was clean, considering the alternatives - it was a basically a dynamic objects store which would load dynamic blocks to generate content and theming on the frontend - and editable blocks in the admin panel. It was so relatable from a webdev standpoint, and very "hackable" - I loved it.

The idea at that time was so appealing (mind you, afaik that was before React or even Angular. Jquery was a thing at that time and ExtJS, Pepperide Farm remembers...). Now it gotten much much bigger of course, but in the beginning, it kinda reminds me of this: sleek, extensible also very relateable. Definitely not made for the size of a multi billion dollar franchise, but fun to hack around while still maintaining relatively clean code.

> The tariffs are to protect all US car manufacturers

Most of the US car manufacturers would have gone out of business in 2008 if the US government had not bailed them out. How can anything China is doing to help BYD compare with that? Yet Tesla still needs 100% tariffs on BYD vehicles to compete?!

Environmental regulations and alleged "slave labor" in China hasn't bothered the US government or US consumers for decades (most consumer goods are manufactured in China) yet somehow it matters tremendously in 2024 and necessitates 100% tariffs to protect US firms from competition?

Most of us lived through the era when the price per performance of computer hardware decreased rapidly and there was rapid price deflation on hardware that was only a few years old.

Right now, in 2024, American consumers should be benefitting from the far simpler design of EVs and car prices should be dramatically lower due to the benefits of EV tech. Car prices should have deflated but thanks to US policies entry level cars cost close to $30K now. The average price of a new car is $47,000

No, EVs do not need to be fancy, aluminum, giga-pressed luxury items! It's a battery and an electric motor and it should cost a LOT less than an internal combustion vehicle that has hundreds of precision moving parts.

We've seen the high quality engineering and low cost manufacturing China is capable of with scooters, hoverboards, etc. The essence of China's industrial policy is that in a few years some of those engineers start being able to design EVs that outcompete Tesla. Meanwhile in the US we are bringing back steel mills and coal fire power plants!
Hey there - small to medium orgs can use one of the available community, open source SSO plugins, with the only caveat that they are not officially supported by Payload. Or you could build your own!

Question - does the word "enterprise" make you think that the amount we charge would make it unfeasible for your org to pay to use Payload?

I don't think it's ideal that we hide all our "premium" features behind the word "enterprise" and have been thinking of alternative words / messaging to describe that.
The problem is cost. For most people owning and driving their own car is much cheaper than hiring someone else to drive them. Many people would like someone else to take care of the car and driving, but drivers need a reasonable income - if a driver works for your 2 hours per day that implies of your 8 hour day at work 2 hours are spent working to pay for that driver (of course drivers typically make less than a "white collar professional" but still a significant portion of your income goes to your driver). Which is why taxis always hung out at airports - often they would wait in line for an hour to pick someone else, with smaller amounts hanging around around hotels and bars - the few places where people who owned a car had reason not to use it.

Self driving is the only way uber or a taxi can be a large business. The cost of labor is just too high and so most people are forced to learn to drive.

Even with the above I question if self driving is really worth it. If you own a car and have it parked nearby it is ready to go when you want to leave, and better yet you can store your stuff in it. Combine that with rush hour - most people are traveling at about the same time every day, and some people wanting nicer cars than others and it is hard to see how it can work out. (unless you live in density such that parking is hard - but then transit must be your answer not individual cars since self driving cannot solve traffic)

> floss periodically

I used to do this periodically because I hated doing it. But as a result, plaque would build up. Especially on the front bottom incisors.

Eventually added it to my daily routine after the nth time being told to floss daily. And now my dental cleanings are more like spot checks.

I suppose it’s anecdotal and unique to everyone though. Something about mouth flora.
Show HN: I built the most over-engineered Deal With It emoji generator
Hi, all! Author here. What started as a small tool I built for a job interview, became "The Most Over-engineered Deal With It Emoji Generator":

- All operations done fully client-side - no backend, no private data leaves your browser.
- Uses machine learning models (MediaPipe Face Detector task) to automatically scale and position glasses on the detected faces.
- Extensive customization options for glasses:
- Placement of glasses anywhere on the input image (including slightly going outside it).
- Change the size of glasses.
- No limit on the number of glasses.
- Flip the glasses vertically or horizontally.
- Customize the direction from which the glasses appear on the image.
- Different types of glasses.
- GIF output options:
- Looping mode.
- Number of frames.
- Frame delay.
- Separate delay setting for last frame.
- Output size.
- Celebration confetti
- Easter eggs.

I've been working remotely for the last >9 years. When using non-verbal communication, it's important that your tone and intent comes across accurately.. Custom emojis became for me part of expressing yourself, creating bonds and camaraderie. I've originally created an MVP of this tool while applying for a exciting new job opportunity. As a showcase of my passion for programming, building teams and creating delightful user experiences. Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( But I wanted to polish it and release it for everyone to use for free, so that you can too "Deal With It"!

I have more ideas for even more features (check GitHub[1]), but wanted to launch it and see what's the feedback and ideas from the community!
And if you're looking for a Fullstack Developer with >14 years of experience, with passion for great customer experience (remote work or locally in Iceland), let's chat!

We're also treating people for things like blood pressure somewhat statistically rather than individually.

The studies say, people who have a blood pressure measured this way, that is above X, have an N% higher chance of dying M years sooner of A, B or C than people who measure under Y. If you treat with medication Q it lowers blood pressure, measured this way, by Z points, increasing lifespan by W QALY.

Are you treating people who don't need to be treated and missing people who do? Could you achieve better results with continuous, invasive blood pressure measurements while the patients engage in every day life?

Probably, but then you're increasing the cost of both the study and the public health intervention exponentially for gains in the margin.

GNU kind communication guidelines the report purports to be transphobic:

"Please think about how to treat other participants with respect, especially when you disagree with them. For instance, call them by the names they use, and refer to them using words whose meanings (as you understand them) cover those participants' stated gender identities. Please also show tolerance and respect for people who do that using different words from the words you use."

Also strongly disagree with stopping support FSF, in particular from an anonymous group.

Recommendations are quite of, despite the generally accurate and reasonable report.

"Cheaper" is questionable. I usually find that, after fees, I'm paying the same, or more, than I'd pay at a nicer Comfort Inn.

Maybe I'm just unlucky but the last several times I've traveled, staying at an AirBnB simply made no financial sense. Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy, hearing people talk about "cheaper".
You have to get a ham radio license and a callsign to lawfully make bodily contact with a ham radio device. Reading through textbooks and taking tests on a sunday and shaking hands with cellular clones of Gabe Newell and all that.

Allegedly that's easier for some or unbearably gross for some in comparison with soldering.
Payload has a form builder plugin - https://payloadcms.com/docs/plugins/form-builder#form-builde...

have you seen that?
When it comes to microwave UIs... our cheap Panasonic (turns out Midea, and the insides look just like that photo) was out of commission due to fuse/door switch issues (since fixed). So I grabbed a cheap, clunky, noisy microwave off FBM for a stopgap. While not a nice machine, its UI was great! Pushing a digit button adds that many minutes, and there's a separate "+30s" button that adds half a minute. Most microwaving tasks could be started in 1-2 button presses. Doing an odd number like 45 seconds needed more. That's even better than the commercial dial timer microwaves at work. Whereas the Panasonic, for style reasons, has "dark grey on black" legends on its membrane keypad... sigh.
I beg to differ. Tried to use a kaios nokia 800 tough. Firefox/KaiOS using a stupid kind of webview for every UI, you get two consequences: first, everything is ugly: wrong padding everywhere, complex layout with non-integer number of list items fitting on screen (this is important, vertical list is the primary widget on small screen dumbphones). And second: everything is sluggish. My true "series 30" nokia launches app instantly, whereas i'm sure the SoC is order of magnitudes slower.

So the UX definitely shows complete absence of culture of design in this kind of space (eg gameboy UI design, classic dumbphone UI, ...). Small screens need very simple widgets (most importantly grid and vertical list), hand made paddings and proper space optimizations, most likely some bitmap font tailored to the resolution.. You can't just slap some dynamic layout and expect it to work nicely on such a small screen. Everything vectorized will be both costly and of dubious rendering quality, etc..

And of course these things only have "decent", but definitely not "1 month scale" battery life. I guess LTE is the real culprit here.
You also have to use sudo to install from official Arch repos. It would be fine if the Play store required a PIN too.
I think it is. I'm surprised also we need such extreme resources to do it.

After all, nature can do it with 4kg of brain mass and less than 100 Watts. There must be a way we can do this in tech too.

But yeah I doubt it would be a benefit for society too.
He's how my microwave oven works

Rotate knob to select power oven or microwave

Press in knob to select.

Rotate knob to select preheat or not.

press in knob to select

Rotate knob to select temperature.

Press in knob.

Rotate knob to select one tray or two

Press in knob to start.

BONUS: the knob's encoder isn't great so if you spin it too fast is goes backwards.

A few more buttons would've made this thing so much easier to use and the oven itself is actually quite good.
Thanks for sharing! This was a great read.
GCC (and clang) can definitely do it. We use it to write option ROMs in C in qemu. This code is compiled with the `-m16` option. This particular code references 32 bit registers using 66h prefix so wouldn't work on an 8086, but AFAIK that's not a general problem:

If a bunch of puppets can fly stars around the galaxy in a Klemperer rosette, How Hard Can It Be?!
This is a neat idea (and good looking product), but unfortunately the issue is the people who tend to interrupt you in the office ignore all explicit signals in my experience. Wearing noise cancelling headphones is an accepted sign of “in the flow, pls don’t interrupt” yet some folks feel like it doesn’t apply to them. Or they’d just stand next to your desk waiting for your attention. I’m pretty jaded (and probably still recovering from burnout) but these types of people made work unbearable. Usually an executive walking up to ask for the status of something even though there are other ways they can look at the status of something (JIRA, standup, slack updates).

The default quote of "Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened" being on their website in this context definitely has an air of humor to it.

Was curious to see how long that page has been that way, but it seems like the internet archive never found it somehow. Or maybe it's buggy because of all the attacks it's been under lately.
LibreSSL 4.0.0
This website is just infuriating[0] to use with the randomly disappearing elements (FF 131 on Fedora 39, even with disabled uBlock). $500 sounds kind of funny when PinePhonePro is $400, but of course on the other hand Librem5 is $1000+, so whatever. Still, (2-gen-old) iPhone price-range.

Couldn't find too many datasheets nor other documentation unfortunately, though it might because of the unusable piece of crap website, which made me rage-close it.

Yes being overweight is horrible for you. But fixing it with a pill that you don't know the long term effects of and not actually fixing the root of the problem. Why you gained the weight in the first place. Is helping no one. If anything you could be fixing something in the short term and causing long term harm in the ladder.
Open Source Color Library
True, but even in the UK, I imagine that once you have the money, the next generation will be integrated, if you want to. You'll live in the right neighborhood, your kids will go to the right schools, problem solved.

It's just slower and doesn't include you directly, true.
Then why was uber a thing in other cities around the country where such laws didn't exist?
> It introduces arbitrary parameters without physical justification.

you could argue the same about dark matter/energy.

> It cannot be tested or falsified by current or near-future experiments.

Did we actually directly observe dark matter or dark energy now?
>I am assuming by building smaller you are able to iterate on designs quicker.

Everyone in this thread is assuming this, but you get economy of scale by building lots of the same thing, not by constantly changing things.
Hey! Would love to hear more about this.

Performance problems are usually something related to maybe missing indexes in your database for fields that you query on often, or similar. Payload itself is super thin. Can you give me an example of where you're seeing slowdowns? Maybe I can point you in the right direction.

Also I would love to hear about where Payload is not flexible enough. Extensibility is one of our priorities so if there is something you'd like to accomplish, but can't, I will see what I can do about it!
I think you misunderstand my point. My point was: If you have to replace everything why not leave the existing repeater up and add all the new hardware as well :) There is no need to take down the 2m unless the location is severely power or space constrained, which is not really the case for most of the high sites I've seen.

Replacing it only makes sense if you could reuse some hardware so you have to choose one or the other (or to invest in buying new). But in this case it will be 100% new so that discussion doesn't come up.
It was a difficult conversation when I had to explain to my children that my love and support for them was zero-sum.

I.e., I think you missed my point about being happy for people attempting to do something difficult and celebrating their successes. I can root for them as much as I please and it doesn't hurt a soul.

I'm afraid you're arguing against something I didn't say.
Anyone has any other link on the topic? I realise this is fresh but it feels significant enough that coverage should be broad pretty quickly.
Don't bother developing for this platform. The customer base is miniscule.

Nice book. I would recommend splitting chapter 9 into two separate chapters where executing JavaScript via Duktape is one chapter and then interacting with the DOM and events are a separate later chapter.
Reminded me of this existing https://dayssincelastrustmcserver.com/
The paper calls out a few things that they didn't cover:

> The CCC+TL model predicts the age of the Universe as 26.7 Gyr against the generally accepted value of 13.8 Gyr. This is of deep concern and needs the model validation against multiple observations, including BAOs, CMB, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), and globular cluster ages. Our focus here is on BAOs.

I am not in academia and therefore am not qualified to have strong opinions on any of this, but I do like the idea of papers not swinging for home runs all the time by explaining everything, and instead being happy with hitting a single by proposing something intriguing and asking for others to chime in.
Some, but sarcopenia caused by rapid weight loss is a well known phenomenon. I think the tie to ozempic is a little overblown, but is is a real issue.

In a “traditional” weight loss strategy, you paired calorie deficit with an increase in physical activity (cardio, resistance training, etc). This increased physical activity helped protect you from muscle loss (your body tended to recognize that muscle was important so it burned fat at a higher rate)

With ozempic, people can lose weight without changing their sedentary lifestyle. Since your muscles are not needed, your body is free to grab energy from wherever it can. In some studies, almost half of weight loss can come from lean tissue.

Is it better to for an obese person to lose weight vs not lose weight? Absolutely. But it would be even better if they also changed their lifestyle to protect their muscle mass.
We already had an OCR solution. We were exploring models in case the information source changes

Here's my idea https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
Apple does have the advantage of being able to project their 2D apps if they want, right? A $5k device seems like a dead end, and a $2k one seems pretty rough still (unless it totally replaces your laptop, which might make it worth considering).

They clearly haven’t executed it correctly yet. But at least they do have some hope of beating the bootstrapping problem that everybody else seems to have—they could try and get users first, and then I bet developers would quickly follow.
Off the cuff I can think of a couple of things:

- A global notifications manager. Manages all you notification settings for all apps globally. Maybe apps will be arranged and managed by type?

- An application vault. You don't want to remove your social media apps from your phone? Stick them in the vault. Applications in the vault can be restricted for when they may be launched, how long the application may be active when launched, and how much time must have elapsed since the application was last active before being activated again.

Hello darkness my old friend…
Not sure where you've been eating, but even Birmingham—my unfashionable British hometown—has nine Michelin star restaurants within a short drive.

I grew up in the UK but I've lived for 15 years all over the US, and it's always confused me that Americans are convinced that British food is bad. On a whole, British supermarkets have far better produce, in both quality and diversity. UK restaurants run the gamut from cutting edge fine dining and wonderful traditional food to home-grown variants of immigrant cuisine. It's a great place to eat.

My home town is legendary for Indian restaurants—to the extent that Birmingham-style Balti curries have made their way back to India. Before you claim that this is Indian food, not British, can you name an American dish that wasn't developed by immigrants?

Home cooking is far more popular in the UK than the US: anecdotally, most British people cook most meals at home, while few of my American friends know how to boil an egg and rely almost entirely on take-out. British celebrity chefs and cooking shows are famous worldwide. It's odd to claim that British food sucks while binge-watching our prime-time baking show!

I love America and a lot of things are better over here, but food—unfortunately for me—is not one of them.
So like putting a body back together from the gibs?

Seems to omit the ability of a service worker to create and cache files. Not really valid as a database, which this article understandably focuses on. But it is another way to maintain files between sessions and offers the ability to access them by url as if they were on the same server. I have used it to load a zip file in the service worker and then serve the contents as if it were a file system on the server.
