Somewhat similar topic, anyone has recommendations for a self-hosted internet website change monitoring system? I’ve been running Huginn for many years and it works well; however, I have a feeling the project is on its last leg. Also, it’s based on either text scraping (XPath/CSS/HTML and rss but it struggles with newer JS-based sites.
I got a new house recently. The default windows were pretty good already. My wife still did not like the amount of light coming in. I still wanted some. So we compromised. We bought reflective window tinting. About 500 bucks to do the front of the house. Will do the back next. Easily reduced the temp in house by quite a bit.

The other thing the builder did foam insulation of the garage doors and walls. Easily 20F difference from my previous house in the same area. Reflective ridged insulation in the attic too. My old house 110 easily, in the summer. It is basically the same temp as the outside now. Cost for the AC is basically half what my pervious house was. I would go for awnings at this point as it is basically one of the few things left I could realistically do. But HOA...
If you read closer to the benchmark, it seems to be slightly worse than FLUX [dev] on prompt adherence and quality. However, the best is to evaluate the result oneself, and the track-record of PixArt Sigma (from the same author?) is pretty good!
The trolling was ridiculous. I don't blame them.

It was pretty clear that with "fork" they meant "don't create a WinAmp-ng fork" and not a "fork" in the "send a patch" GitHub sense. It's fine to point out "hey, I think your custom written license may need a bit of work!", but the amount of vitriol and hate over it (including on HN) was just ridiculous.

It was one of those moments I was embarrassed to be posting here.

And yes, they could have done better, sure. But instead of bringing in someone in the community you just chased them away. Well done everyone. Good job. Excellent result. A story to tell the grandchildren.
I feel like this story is even better than the wrong meme that sparked it.
I was expecting to find the word Gettier in the text.

My comment on that Gettier post:

Puttiers: When a junior engineer fixes something, but a different error is returned, so they cannot tell if progress was made or not.

2. I think the issue is whether it is an armed conflict between nations (but i am not a lawyer)

While even though hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government, their entire modus operandi is based on being a non-state organization, which helps them keep the conflict low intensity (until at least up until this year)

>> The people suing would offer up a big old list of damages into the millions and then negotiate down from there

You're assuming an awful lot with this.

- No defendant is going to negotiate a settlement out of court. They would force you to hire an attorney and force this to a trial because of how absurd it is.

Then you would be left with other major issues:

- One that any IP law firm would take a case like this on to begin with.

- The little upside for any firm litigating a case where the software is 30+ years old, effectively abandoned and has little if any resell value.

- Then even if some firm did want to take a swing at it, getting this in front of a judge who would even consider the case would be a huge hurdle as well. We're not even considering having to deal with a jury trial either which would also be even harder to win.

- Even if the defendant refused to negotiate pre-trial, and you somehow managed to finagle yourself into a civil bench or jury trial, trying to convince anybody that the plaintiff has somehow sustained financial damages on 30+ year old software that is no longer being used and has no resale value is almost impossible.

The US courts are not perfect, but these kinds of cases rarely see the inside of a court room and for good reason.

The Internet Archive serves a torrent file for every item they host

I had no idea. I have found the IA serving speed to be pretty terrible. Are the torrents any better? Presumably the only ones seeding the files are IA themselves.

I wouldn't hire a programmer unless it was perfectly clear that I (or my employer) owned their work. They couldn't go off and use the code in their own startup situation.

Is that the scenario you're talking about?
Can you define the term "genocide"?
Man, looks like the first posts about IPFS cropped up on HN a decade ago. I remember seeing Neocities announcement of support for them. I wonder if that protocol has gotten anywhere since then.
From the second paragraph of the article:

> In addition to the monochrome e-readers, Amazon introduced its first color e-reader today. The new Kindle Colorsoft, covered in more detail here, looks almost identical to the new Paperwhite and launches on October 30 for $279.99.
We have bats. IME, they're no big deal outside of the house (cute-ugly, but don't play with them), but if they annoy you putting up some bat houses away from where you don't want them seems to work. Inside your attic, otoh, they're a nightmare. If you suspect they're getting in, fix that ASAP. Most places (that I know of, ymmv) there are licensed pest management folks who can physically remove the bats.
I can't see the original issue, but it's interesting that the title chooses to highlight the fact that the GPL code was modified. Actually, under the GPL, this fact is immaterial. If the Winamp player contained any GPL code at all, modified or not, then it is a derivative work of that GPL code and anyone receiving a copy of Winamp is entitled to demand the full corresponding source be provided under a GPL license.

Without getting into the debate about whether or not what is happening is a "genocide" or not, your data proves nothing since it cuts off before the events in questions started. Why not post an updated graph and include the number up through end of September 2024 so that it would at least be a relevant data point to the discussion?
I was on a flight not too long ago where the two people sitting next to me had apparently just met. They were from different countries travelling for different reasons. They had a friendly chat for a while about where they were from, why they were on that plane, and some things they enjoyed to do. The whole interaction lasted maybe twenty minutes, from sitting to take off. Then they said “cheers”, one of them went to sleep and the other began watching something on the phone. They didn’t speak again until we landed and from the outside it didn’t feel any of them felt awkward for even a second.

I’m not suggestion you strike up a conversation with your seat partner on a plane, but if you do you don’t have to feel beholden to them.
And yet everyone who has ever worked with an offshore team knows that nothing beats time spent in the same room. I don’t expect VR to change that.
Thinking about it I would guess that the kissing number covered in the article is quite similar to the concept of near orthogonality.

Indeed I believe that you can redefine the n-th kissing number as: the maximum number of points on a (n-1)-sphere such that for no pair of points the angle between the center and themselves is less than 60°
Sure, and anyone can make their own crypto implementation that's not based on reference, but what matters isn't the theory but the actual facts: the overwhelming majority of community meeting retirees are retired homeowners.

Look at your local suburban school district's bond: you'll probably see some age-based exemption on paying to get support because old people are by far the most engaged. Is that democratic? In the sense that its based on votes of a voluntary electorate, yes. Is it the representative will? Clearly not! You want to cluster elections around high turnout to maximize representation.

> One of the best things when you are rich, you can buy when everyone wants to sell, and sell when everyone wants to buy.

Generally untrue, since most rich people hold their assets in what's being sold. There are a handful value investors left, who bother holding cash equivalents when PE ratios get absurd, but they are few and far between. Tech billionaires, in particular, are very unlikely to be sitting on much cash.
With large sums of Money you can play games on when taxes are due that can allow you to invest money that you will eventually owe for taxes and then do a step up basis when you die thereby never paying taxes but not really being able to use it.
There are other tricks to use the money where you take a loan and use the investment as a collateral but it’s all really complicated to manage and only makes sense at the 5-10mil range.
Can you elaborate on the working part?

I tested the device in an Apple Store and was blown away by the experience. Such an amazing tool to explore, enjoy and relax.

The work part though? I had the same feeling as with the iPad early on. I need a keyboard and a mouse to be productive.
Even the most pessimistic estimates of casualties in Gaza are on the order of tens of thousands. That is not going to appreciably change the population.
Don't you pay more if you use Apple instead of Paypal?
they have a disney park there with uighurs and they are dancing. in every video.the same faces. and they have westerners with tour guides and always the same minders in the background .and butchers, who chain their tools to benches. and strange camps you can see from orbit. its totally not the same monstrous playbook han supremacist playbook as in tibet, singapore,taiwan etc.
They eve have a guy who writes : its fake on HN.
What does this historical population trend have to do with the genocide being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza in retaliation for October 7th, 2023?
I have done both. Any agency worth their weight will provide you ownership of the app and IP. As long as your not using some closed source integration which the agency has developed.

Building out a team provides it own set of challenges as you need to find the right people, provide guidance on how the application should be designed/architected.

Drop me a line at cameron [at] bitformations.ca and we can chat we do app development.
I guess that is based on experience as I have commuted in the swiss alps for years by train. There is even a tunnel when you are comming from Freiburg in direction of Lausanne/Geneva where you can count down the exact moment the tourists will let escape a collective woooaaaaah once the train exit the tunnel to a majestic view of Lake of Geneva with the alps and the Mont Blanc in the background.

There are some views you never get tired of looking at, especially as seasons, weather, clouds and time of the day makes it an ever changing postcard.

All in all in most of europe the trains usually offer nice views and I often find myself daydreaming about climbing that dirt trail on the left with my bike, riding my motorbike on that twisty road on the right side a few minutes later and what kind of life was it living 500 years ago in the old castle I can see here.
My experience with the spam button is 1) they never ever go into my inbox again if they do keep sending, and 2) as someone who has had emails marked as spam (from people who actively clicked the sign up to my newsletter button) your ability to send email gets neutered pretty quickly.

What is your experience?
It depends what you want to do with it and how many modules you want to hang off it (or not). The 'entry level ' one is the M5stickC, which is about the size of your thumb, has a couple of buttons, a screen, a grove connector (to attach peripherals), an accelerometer, a real time clock chip, and a battery for around $20.

All their stuff is programmable in C or in MicroPython, and they have a Scratch-type building-block interface called UIflow which lets you prototype in MP very fast, and is extensible with your own modules. You kind of need it even if you're competent in Python because the documentation tends to be barebones and focus on the electronic schematics, so the UIflow software components are the API documentation.

Expressif's own documentation is very good so this may be changing since they acquired M5stack, but I still find UIflow the fastest way to get hands-on with a new module.
In early 2010s this was sometimes the case.

In modern days, you can daily drive linux without issues. If you were having issues, it was most likely you were doing something wrong, or you were using a company configured laptop that the IT department didn't set up right.
That’s what the report spam button is for.
It's not such a massive gamble if you can just keep relying on natural gas peaker plants in case storage is somehow unsolvable, which seems quite unlikely given that we have a dozen completely different technologies for storage in the pipeline.
Can you clarify a bit? Are you saying that the hire in question aims to view whatever work you assign to them as conceptually "their startup" and they will bring startup energy to your project? Alternatively, are you saying that you will assign them work and that some time in the future they intend to take the ideas/concepts they learn and create a (rival?) startup out of them?

Many projects fail and when it happens the first time, many participants feel gutted. One of my first assignments out of college was to work on a large project and literally on the eve prior to going to production, the company canceled the project as advances in hardware had made the product obsolete. I was devastated, but one has to learn how to pick themselves up and move on. After all, they paid me to build something and I did. It was always out of my control to determine what they did with my team's work.
No, the most pessimistic casualty numbers are in the 180k+ range, including all of the missing people hidden in the rubble. The 45+k numbers include only people confirmed killed.
In my opinion, it’s easier to find a co-founder on some platform for finding co-founders, like https://indiemerger.com, where there are developers and marketers and you can find suitable candidates.
Please answer the solution to people not being able to afford back yards. Price is a clearing indicator on supply and demand: you can either crush demand or boost supply. If nimbys block supply increases, you either have to pick people to kick out or forbid other people from moving in.

Where do you think the AirBNBs came from? Some people decided to move out, and the people that moved in decided that others would get better use experiencing the property part-time as reflected in market prices. Would you ban them from making this choice? Would you screen every buyer not based on their own assessed price but on ever so shifting "intent"? Would you make the intent they declare at the start binding?

EDIT: I'll bet you $100 to your charity of choice that physical constraints aren't binding in the case you're thinking of (this could be shown by, despite a lax / encouraging planning environment, no one building anything).
The author is simply talking about the most common testing types[0] but in a more philosophical way.

Perhaps this data is "private" as in "personal property" and not "private" as in "confidential."
The efficiency would decrease primary energy use, if the electricity were being produced from thermal sources, but the amount of electrical energy used would increase.
When working in research my boss who was very accepted in the field was on many review committees, but I did lots of reviewing (for my failed PhD, "pre-scanning" etc.) - is this the case everywhere? The reviewers by name are not the people doing the actual reviews?
And here's another story to add to the book "How to shoot yourself in the foot by not knowing how the Internet and software licenses work", should anyone write that one day.

Also, from one ArsTechnica link posted later in this story, one former dev told that the 4 WA Legacy developers were fired and soon he left too, so I guess they presumably had either no one or very few resources who knew that code and were in the best position to audit it before public release.
This is not just shooting oneself in the foot; it rather looks like dancing on a landmine.
This is yet another security measure that completely ignores the real world and will become yet another security measure that gets ignored.

People lose credentials all the time, from social security cards, to drivers licenses, and passports. Say a natural disaster hits and your laptop with Yubikey gets swept away in a flood? Congratulations, you're hosed!

Individual people do not have the resources that a financial institution has. Getting people to adopt unique passwords is already an incredible hurdle, getting people to treat a hardware token literally more carefully than their social security card is bizarrely out of touch with reality.

As for me, I use Keepass to store my Passkeys. I use a password and Yubikey to secure it. The Yubikey has the same exact private keys set as 2 others, so I can keep 1 on my keychain, 1 in my safe, and 1 at a relative's house. And even this would be an unreasonable effort to expect from the majority of people.
Not only that but the obsession with higher and higher resolution video calls. Lets upgrade the laptop cams. No wait lets use a mirrorless camera and a ring light. Meanwhile the upload speed from your home isp is still early 2000s tier speeds and zoom downsamples you to 144p.
You're mixing definitions - integration tests concern testing the "integration" between all parts of a solution. It has nothing to do with reading a JSON file, its perfectly acceptable to read from a JSON file and use its data in a unit test.

Also reading / parsing a JSON file is fast enough for hot reloads / auto rerunning unless you have multiple GB files - so the argument for speed makes no sense. I'd argue it's slower as a whole to have to code up mocks and fill in the data than copy paste some json.

I do agree with the second being neater, however past a certain point of enterprise coding it's a negligible difference compared to the overall complexity of the code - so taking a shortcut and making your tests simpler through JSON files actually ends up being the cleaner / neater solution.

>While unit testing, I'm going to test "given that System.IO.File can read a file", and write tests accordingly. I don't want a test sometimes fails because "read errors can happen IRL". That doesn't help test my business logic.

Since you're given that - use it. If your test fails because a "low level" dependency is failing it's indicating something is seriously fucked up on your machine.
Where do you buy DRM Free books from? (I assume that's a requirement for the device to be fully offline, right?) Do you run everything through that DRM-stripper Calibre plugin?
So why did you even post that graph if it has nothing to do with anything?
I admit, this is very impressive: "AI models performing at PhD-level on some tasks" but it remains to be seen as to whether all this intelligence actually leads to greater productivity and whether that "productivity" even translates into higher earnings in a meaningful way.

the way I see it, virtual goods (games, digital goods, etc) will continue to be ever more free and lower cost, while nothing much changes in the real world.

On the flip side, continuously tuning out discomfort is a vicious cycle. You need to feel some of it to be motivated to do something to change your situation.

I’m not advocation for never taking a break, I’m saying that we keep doing more and more of it and should perhaps consider dialling it down. Or at the very least not take tuning out as a slam dunk desired benefit without adverse consequences.
Looks like it’s designed by a not particularly talented three year old?

of course not everyone is bothered by that. All the water/environment related issues (I guess you can get the “optional” coating) and the absurd repair costs seem like a bigger issue.

How to Synthesize Your Data
It really isn't. There's fluorine in both, but just because two compounds contain the same element doesn't mean they work the same way.
A dipole is a very simple antenna, and pretty efficient. There are other shorter options that have worse performance too, but perhaps more suitable for an adhoc tree deployment. (random wire, EFHW)

(I know you know this, but just adding in. Ham is fun! I like doing park & camping deployments)
In the modern era, waste is basically the 8th sin. Inefficiency is a moral failure for these people. You're only allowed to have just enough hospital beds to accommodate the current demand with a little leeway. You're only allowed to have as much stock of anything as it takes for the next shipping container to arrive and be unloaded. It's all razor-thin efficiency all the way down, with no slack available for black swan events. And then we wonder why inflation is up 100% when the logistics chains break down, then try to scapegoat whatever politician is in power at the wrong time.
I've only caught wind of this through independent journalism on YouTube. The Hui people of China are also Muslim and you're not hearing about them being put into forced labor camps.

The west is creating hyperbole of fringe groups that were mostly active decades ago at this point, and using that narrative to economically subjugate them.

If a westerner sees a Uyghur work in a factory, the manufactured narrative leads to the assumption that the labor is forced, and this keeps these folks from finding good work and social mobility. This would then put these folks on the path to radicalisation due to this economic exclusion, and affect the social stability within the PRC.

I don't get why people still spread the lie that you have to tinker with Linux. Like right now, I can give you a laptop with a clean Linux Mint install, and you never have to touch the terminal for anything system config to do work.

Seriously, its not that hard to say that you prefer MacOS because you like the feel of it. It does a lot of handholding for you, unlike Linux, which makes it way less likely for you to mess something up. You don't have to go the extra lengths to justify it lol.
