Thanks for this recommendation; I was considering ordering these for my next trip since they should fit the same as 9205+.

(I don't see an issue with wearing an exhalation vent next to folks who aren't wearing masks themselves. If they cared about the air they'd also be wearing a mask. If I sat next to someone wearing one I'd switch back to the 9205+.)

You can walk into Tractor Supply with a $20 bill and walk out with a horse-sized tube of fenbendazole paste and a few bucks in change.
I'm not being downvoted, quite the opposite :) HN mods sometimes stick comments towards the bottom of a thread, probably when they feel it will invite flame wars. Not an unfair thing to do, tbh, I don't disagree with the policy. But I still think it's worth making the comment.
Yes, but only B2C.
This seems to be about liability for injury, not liability in general. It's probably about software that manages critical processes or hardware which might cause physical harm if malfunction.

CMIIW, but this appears to be an attempt to clarify who is at fault when a device malfunctions due to software issue and allow a manufacturer in Czechia to use software from Poland without dealing with differences on Czech and Polish laws and regulations over software.
1. I would disagree. These aren't mines, as they aren't triggered by the target. They're similar to the booby trapped tobacco pipes mentioned in one of my links, which were triggered by the trapper.

2. Intelligence agencies don't get POW protections, so that point is not really relevant. Treaties bind you, even if your enemy is not similarly bound.

3. If the targeted assassinations with booby trapped pagers didn't have civilian casualties, I might agree, but in this case, I don't.

I tend to agree with you that the outcome was about as good as could be expected, and likely much better than could be achieved with traditional munitions. However, the escalatory effect of using booby traps, legal usage/legal target or not, is not ideal.
Websites don't have to show cookie popups, unless they want to track you, gather or sell data on you, etc. The issue here lies with the websites, not with the legislation.
When I started with Nodemailer, my goal was to build a cool product—not to become an unpaid helpdesk employee for life. But here we are. So, I’ve been trying to monetize the project in various ways for the past ten years. I’ve tried everything (license restrictions, freelancing and consulting, paid extensions, etc.), and each approach failed for different reasons. The only strategy that actually took off was using Nodemailer’s documentation page as a referral source for another relevant paid project.
In the end, a court of justice (in EU, not in USA!) does.

It's not a bad first approximation to expect courts in EU to very sensible and fair.
He might be paying the AC bill. In large buildings the heat and AC is central, and typically is included in the rent. The downside of this is that the decision to run AC or heat is made by the building engineer, and during the change of seasons there might be a warm (or cold) day and the AC (or heat) isn't running.
Probably built by a web gency who added tracking, perhaps even GA, so there was need for a cookie pop up banner. Why that website would need tracking and profiling is beyond me.
My house has three carefully pruned lime trees (not the fruit). Works perfectly for privacy and the exact dynamic you note here.
I say this to every non-technical founder looking for a work for equity (or effectively "for free") technical co founder: They'll meet two types of people; those that won't do it, and those that don't know yet that they shouldn't do it.

It _is_ possible to get seed funding for a business if the idea is solid and you bring something valuable to the table, like the right connections and domain knowledge. If a founder doesn't have either, that's bad. The money doesn't have to come from an investor: There's government funding, you can line up pilot customers etc. If they can't raise any seed funding, what does that say about their talent to be a CEO? The job is _all_ about bringing money in.

Asking someone to work with zero cashflow for who knows how long (investments and initial customer acquisition can take months) is just not reasonable. If somebody doesn't _need_ cashflow, chances are they're either comfortably doing nothing, or already working on their own idea.

What you're left with are mostly people who need cashflow, but are for some reason desperate or reckless enough to try and go without. So then your founding team is a naive CTO, and a CEO who can't raise money. Not a winning combination usually.
Funny, but for number one in your list, PalmOS 3 could do that in 1998 on a 16mhz 32 bit Motorola processor. It was just one of those attention to details that made the platform so nice to use.
> This is not a rumour, it was at least somewhat real

How can you tell? I'm not denying that and obviously can't claim to know but I just don't see any public information that would allow us to make this conclusion.

WSJ, Reuters and everyone else regularly report rumours that sound credible.

Although if we're only talking about "exploring" rather than anything more that's probably true, there is no reason for Qualcomm to at least try and do the math of at what price point it might start making sense and they should be obviously be doing that.

I just don't really see how is that particularly newsworthy since it's just extremely improbably (due to factors both Intel and Qualcomm can't directly control).

Mergeometry a new iOS game reimagining 2048
I just released my puzzle game called Mergeometry, and I’m pretty stoked about it. I wanted to give a fresh take on the classic 2048 game, and I think I’ve done just that with two unique merging modes:

Form Merging Mode: You combine shapes and try to outsmart the game to score points.
Evolution Mode: Here, you merge elements and guide the evolution of life, starting from molecules and going all the way to humans and beyond.
I also added some fun features:

You can customize the grid size and throw in a bomb mode if you’re feeling adventurous.
There are several game modes like Classic, Timed, and Reverse to keep things fresh.

The game’s packed with vibrant colors that really pop!

I just launched it, so I’m still figuring things out. Would love any thoughts or feedback if you decide to give it a go!

Can confirm that issue about people only seeding what they are interested in.

I found a dataset I wanted to hoard but the authors website was gone. A dataset site had a torrent and I said great I'll just torrent and seed that and help keep the thing alive, turns out I can't find a single seeder for the torrent.

Signups = 500 in 1 month - B2B SaaS
Adjera is a b2b saas to seamlessly plan, manage, and bill your projects - all in one place

A tailored solution for consultancies, agencies, and service businesses, meticulously designed.

I don't know if HN is the right place for our target audience, but seeing how we have gotten over 500 signups in the past month from reddit and other forums, I wanted to share it here.

My co-founder and I were struggling to use existing cluttered, ugly and simply outdated tools for our own consultancy (Engineering), and so we decided to try and build something we would enjoy using everyday,

and would solve the main struggles with growing consultancies;

Plan, manage and bill projects.

And so we build Adjera.

If you also like us, have to balance projects, tasks, time, resources, clients, invoices
and want an easy way to do so in a platform that takes a design first approach.

Adjera might be for you.

We recently launched in Early Access. (= free trial until EOY)

We value feedback as we put our customers at the center of everything we do.

You can also reach out to me with any questions: seb@adjera.com

Thanks for reading

Bye (Or see you soon)
Right, this is what I meant with the potato/potahto thing. To me, wrinkled face, graying hair, more hair, etc. are all things that are part of aging.

Which is why I balk at the framing of "defeating aging." We want to defeat the decline that comes with advanced age. But this doesn't necessarily mean we have to freeze the clock at some age, as it were. May be that that is the way it happens.
Your first paragraph describes GDPR, which does not require cookie popups.

But there is also the e-privacy directive (older than GDPR) that does require a cookie popup for any cookie not strictly required to deliver the service. Regardless of whether it tracks PII. So this also applies if for example you only want to know whether someone is a returning visitor or a new visitor without storing any identifier.
Make them pre-pay into a clear up fund. And carry massive insurance funds.

No privatizing the profits but then socializing the cost of the waste disposal (and leaks).

If the public has to pay for it as a EPA superfund site for cleanup, well then Amazon should then be sued out of existence for this.

I cancelled my membership at 24 Hours Fitness back in the early 2000s. They informed me that because of how their system works it can take a few weeks to process the cancelation and I will get charged for another month. This is such BS and obviously a scam. When the charge appeared on my credit card, I just disputed it with evidence of cancelation and that was that.
The FTC under the current administration has been going gangbusters the entire term.

On what basis do you make the accusation that the administration has been sandbagging their own policy changes?
Good to read! Many EU countries had similar rules already in place. With the EU DSA + FTC now mandating this, it will probably finally become the standard world wide.
Hah neat! I've never seen anything expect centiseconds before. Had no idea this was the way gifs are encoded. Bizarre.
> The more time passes, the less I can shake the feeling that the world would be better if we tuned out our environment less.

While I appreciate the sentiment behind the statement, try living in an area where 90% of the environment is car stereos with subwoofers cranked so loud that you can practically see the air vibrating around you and get back to me. Given that (at least in the west), noise pollution is never really going to be properly legislated, the ability to tune it out is a god send.
This is purely for fun, without any practical use, but I wonder if you could build a "fully automated" sundial cannon by using the cannon's recoil as a power source.

The recoil both gives you kinetic energy and an impulse that is timed at noon. You could use it to drive some mechanism that prepares the cannon for the next day, e.g. refills gunpowder and adjusts the magnifying glass.

The latter could be done by having a gear with a cam that is driven 1/365 forward with each firing of the cannon and that encodes the position of the magnifying glass for each day of the year.

That only leaves you to design the exact shape of the cam. And deal with cloudy days and leap years...
Does anyone know why Mistral use a 17 bit (131k) vocabulary? I'm sure it's more efficient at encoding text but each token doesn't fit into a 16 bit register which must make it more inefficient computationally?

1. Regarding the validation, this error seems to be related to the provenance check mechanism in the spec. This is to prove ownership of that project/domain. The wellKnown field is designed to handle cases where the webpageUrl doesn't match the manifest URL.

Even the insurance side isn't really a free market. I've only ever gotten like two choices of insurance provider at any job I've had. More than two plans, but very limited provider choices. You can't get a job offer and then during onboarding say, "sorry, this insurer is unreliable, can we use this other provider instead?"
Cancelling of a subscription payment, without simultaneously notifying eg continuation (such as through an alternate payment means), is a clear and unequivocal indication of termination of the agreement for which the payment was being made.

A company has a simple avenue to avoid inadvertent cancellation, they just ask the customer "did you mean to cancel, please contact us by $date to continue your subscription".

But that's preferring the citizen over business interests.
Very well put. I agree with you, and yet I still wouldn’t give up using my Vision Pro. Though I hope I’ll be able to draw the line at the Apple NosePods ;-)
That's mostly my point. A linked-list structure is not the interesting part. I use the "generic" reading of list above and don't mean to imply some particular implementation
Those are both 3D CAD programs though, and almost all CAD software supports 2D parametric sketching. I mostly just find strange though that such a ubiquitous feature in CAD, which allows for fast creation and manipulation of 2D shapes, is missing from every vector graphics tool I've used.

Is the exemption for open source adequate? There are clear exemptions for non-profits and source distribution, but what about things such as FOSS distributed as binaries in commercial Linux distro repos?
That's not what I've been hearing from European co-workers. Switzerland and London being somewhat of an exception, the vibe I get there are few if any good jobs and few good and ambitious developers left in Europe. Everyone who is any good and ambitious moves to London, or the US unless they have special circumstances.

People from France, Spain etc. tend to be more polite about it, but specifically 3 people from German speaking regions in Bay Area - 2 natives and one who moved to the US via Germany from Eastern Europe - basically said the above directly :)

I myself looked into moving to Austria / North Italy for the nature and good cities, but the salaries and cost of living are just too much of a joke, even for non-developer. In Austria back then I'd be making less than my wife makes as a teacher in the USA. Switzerland is somewhat better, but still pretty bad, even for a developer

> In order not to hamper innovation or research, this Directive should not apply to free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity, since products so developed or supplied are by definition not placed on the market. Developing or contributing to such software should not be understood as making it available on the market. Providing such software on open repositories should not be considered as making it available on the market, unless that occurs in the course of a commercial activity

Can't this wording easily be interpreted that commercial entities publishing open source software counts as a commercial activity? Wouldn't that kill corporate sponsored open source overnight? You could even argue Redhat (IBM) would be responsible for every user of any of their linux kernel patches/services no?

If not, what does this wording actually apply to?

A large portion of healthcare could be free market. Insurance should be for unlikely events not every single thing deemed "medical". My home and auto insurance don't cover regular costs for maintenance. Why must health insurance cover a checkup with the doctor?
This used to be the view among professional historians of science 25 years ago, but the consensus now in the field is that it’s anachronistic: it back-projects present day views of the scientific process onto the past, akin to looking at the first airplanes and calling then “an earlier form of the Boeing 747.” Depending on who you ask, people will say modern peer review arose in the Cold War or at the earliest in the 19th century.

You would presumably notify the company about the cancellation, wouldn't you. Unprofessional not to do so. However the ability of a company to not accept cancellation sent by, say, email, is not possible without the government acting to enforce such restrictions.
I think every website should understand how and by who their website is used. I don't consider this "spying." If you walk into a brick and mortar store the shopkeeper has every right to count that you came in, and watch where you go in the store to optimize it. The web should be no different.

Fortunately there are in fact cookieless analytics systems that people can use to get this information why not being required to have the stupid cookie popup.
This is definitely a problem. I mostly take a look at the various leaderboards, but there is a proliferation of fine-tuned models that makes it incredibly daunting to explore the model space. Add to that that often they're not immediately available on turn-key tools like ollama, and the friction increases even more. All this without even considering things like licenses, what kind of data has been used for fine tuning, quantization, merges, multimodal capabilities.

I would love a curated list.
Please elaborate on the measures taken to protect and warn civilians, or which specific military objectives the children hurt by those exploding pagers were in the close vicinity of.

> If people originally signed up for your program in person, you can offer them the opportunity to cancel in person if they want to, but you can’t require it. Instead, you need to offer a way for people to cancel online or on the phone.
That's besides the point. The book's author has a valid point. Being pedantic should be applied at all levels if you're going that route.
The worst cookie pop-ups come from a Florida company, that is hell-bent on punishing the whole internet for not allowing them to invade privacy.

They not only do some shoddy attempt of malicious compliance, they don't even do it actually right, for example EU law says if you have an accept all button, you must have a reject all button, but they don't do that.

Also the law doesn't give an exception for "legitimate interest", yet when you open their menu to disable manually everything (that by the law, should be disabled by default, except cookies essential to keep the site working), they have a bunch of random tracking cookies enabled because it is "legitimate interest". I think the only reason they weren't sued out of existence yet, is because it is a US company, thus they don't have to actually follow EU laws or something. (or they act like that, at least, I am not a lawyer).

Inline is mostly pointless in C anyway though.

But it might be a minor problem for STB-style header libraries.

It's not uncommon for C++ projects to include the implementation of an STB-style header into a C++ source file instead of 'isolating' them in a C source file. That's about the only reason why I still support the common C/C++ subset in my C libraries.
A few decades ago an office worker would prize a desk by a big window with lots of natural light to read paperwork by, but in the age of PCs nobody wants direct sunlight on their screen.

A couple decades ago I managed to wrangle a nice east-facing window. Bright sunlight in the AM was a pretty effective way to really get moving, but I couldn't wear white shirts because the reflection made my monitor unusable and there was a period each morning where I just needed to do stuff not at my PC (cubicle farm, my options were to face the window or face the corner with the window to one side).
> What if the bug is in 3rd party library?

It will probably be similar to when a physical product is defective because of a faulty 3rd party component.

More importantly, as a professional software developer, the testing of my product should find problems in 3rd party components. If I chose poorly and the 3rd party component doesn't do what it's supposed to do, that's my responsibility. I can't just slough it off onto someone else.

“…the rate of improvement in life expectancy in the decade of 2010–19 had dropped below that seen between 1990 and 2000. People were still living longer, but not by as much.”

“The analysis looked at the period of 1990 to 2019, to avoid the distorting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

At least life expectancy was still growing before COVID.
Now after the introduction of dirty (mass production was not the same quality as the small batches used in leading studies) COVID vaccines, plus the virus itself which caused some trouble to not fully healthy people, we will see a life expectancy decline.
Excess deaths did already rose worldwide.

Meanwhile they want you to get more dirty vaccines..
