I've been unwinding my side-projects into their component parts and publishing them as their own python packages. Some examples:

1. https://github.com/simplecto/django-reference-implementation -- My personal production-ready Django boilerplate. "There are many like it, but this one is mine"

2. https://github.com/simplecto/sitemap_grabber -- A python library to recursively crawl every sitemap.xml for a website. Also handles robots.txt and other well-knowns.

3. https://github.com/heysamtexas/django-oauth2-capture -- A Django app to capture OAuth2 tokens for non-authentication purposes, enabling your application to act on behalf of users across external platforms like GitHub, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter)

I'm also taking popular and helpful software and wrapping them in RESTful apis as part of a larger api project I call the JOAT (Jack Of All Trades).

4. https://github.com/heysamtexas/REST-headless-browser -- Playwright headless browser wrapped in a FastAPI REST application, running inside a docker container
It's funny, you're the only person who replied who mentioned my challenge, and it's clear you aren't familiar with the history of canola oil, nor are any of the other people replying. You "don't see any evidence" sounds so authoritative, like you are familar with the topic!

The relevant modification is with respect to erucic acid, which pre-modification, was 50% of the content of rapeseed oil, and which provably causes heart lesions in mammals.

There's no way that someone today could take a plant that naturally produces a useful but toxic industrial lubricant, modify it to be less toxic, and then start feeding it to humans. But in the 1970s you could still get away with stuff like that.
In industrial settings we use ladder logic diagrams, a visual programming language based off of electrical ladder diagrams, and I wholeheartedly agree with this. It is so much easier discussing Python web scraping programs compared to explaining ladder logic. Though the latter was made easier with physical inputs/outputs some are located a good distance away from the PLC, and anything digital had to be shown to be effectively discussed.
And made it to the news section of the SQLite site on Oct. 21st 2024:

I realized that many new startups routinely run into email sending issues in their apps and services. Most don't notice the issues and they linger longer than necessary. I experienced this myself in my career.

What is necessary is end-to-end monitoring of emails. wasitsent.com does that. It's like an uptime monitor for emails. You add the monitoring email address to your emails (as a bcc: recipient, for example) and configure the monitoring schedule. When your email is not received, wasitsent.com raises an alarm.
> Economically they're in very rough shape

> What does this even mean?

It means that they have a very low debt-to-GDP ratio of 16.9%, a limited amount of natural resources (due to the small size of their country), plus they have been forced to switch to producing a lot domestically after the western sanctions in 2022.

Wow, yeah the parent comment is shocking to me. For me matrix is OSS discussions, like a modern IRC (not that IRC is gone, a lot of matrix rooms bridge to IRC).

Though I suppose if you search for other stuff you can find it.

Though it strikes me as a little odd, I never really associated matrix with anonymity, more with federation, end to end encryption, self hosting.

Perhaps hosting matrix servers as tor hidden services could serve that purpose.
Using bit rotation instructions in C is another case I recall.

Why Google Search Is Falling Apart?
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated.

Regarding the comments, I'd really like to implement activitypub on reciperium. To add the ability to follow users and comment on recipes. And to be able to comment and follow from the fediverse. It's a good opportunity for me to explore the protocol.

What do you mean by combining ingredients? You can currently link to other recipes. So if you make a sauce, that can be a recipe on its own, and it can be linked from another recipe. See this for example: https://www.reciperium.com/rodriguezflors/roti

> My gut feeling, for attracting users, would be to just optimize the recipes to be found by people via search engines

That's a good idea, I'm optimizing a bit the search engine now. I've been also thinking of writing a blog

I know multiple „elderly“ (barely over seventy) people who lost all quality of life after falling and breaking a bone. Two crushed vertebrae, one broken hip. All of them essentially bedridden now. Training balance and strength can definitely lower the chances of that. IMO that’s enough benefit to recommend training balance specifically. Any links between fitness and lower chances of senility are just a bonus.
The right against self-incrimination is about more than speech. The philosophical underpinning is that a person has the right not to be compelled to aid in their own prosecution.

That’s why evidence is seized as a result of a warrant that cannot just be a “fishing expedition.” “We suspect you commit a crime but have no specific evidence or knowledge of specific evidence, let us search for anything that might be evidence” doesn’t fly under such a theory. And a search warrant doesn’t compel the subject to disclose hiding places etc. either (though it probably can compel one to disclose hazards like traps, for safety in the moment).
No worries. :)

> It’s really centred on the lollies/candy/sweets.

Yeah, that's not at all surprising to me.

My impression is that Halloween is something that was big enough in the US (even if not originating there), that companies are now trying to push it on us here in Australia now too. Purely to sell their crap.

It gets the No vote from me for that reason. ;)

It delights me when people can find ways to be creative and tongue-in-cheek and not take things so seriously all the time. It is one way in which we can have fun in our work. For me, the idea of keeping all my fun separated from my work sounds like a dystopian nightmare!

Very interesting, I've been thinking about this kind of approach but haven't had the time to really work on it. So what kind of business model do you have? Is it a kind of drop-in replacement for vector dbs?

Out of curiosity, if it's not a trade secret, how do you plan to handle conflicting data (two sources saying different things on the same topic/data)?
Perhaps previously, but as long as there is some minimum effort schools will rarely ever fail you. High scores are rewarded but genuine intelligence (which is a variant of the norm) is stamped out as the school system fears variance.

I think the example of "ampersand" "&" is good.

We have a word describing what it is, we have a symbol of how it looks, and we have a word of how it is pronounced "and". We also tend not to write ampersands down by hand. Its a more common symbol. However unlike the treble clef the meaning and the pronunciation is the same so perhaps the example isn't as good?
Thank you for working on light theme, it seems that 90% of themes are dark nowadays. Depending on languages I switch between dark and light themes and for the latter there's lot less choice.

You don’t need data to be terrified of something.

No. Language designers need to think about what their language promises and when some users have differing needs, they may need to fulfill those needs.

My poison of choice was Twitter. I doomscroll, RT stuff which I "identified with", shit post etc. I can't completely describe the feelings since they were subtle but I'll try.

1. I used to have a fear of missing out on what's happening if I didn't stay upto date on Twitter. That went away. I was pretty upto date using HN and Google news. That fear went away. I announced before I went offline so when someone tagged me, some friends actually told them that I'd be away.

2. I used to take out my phone when I was bored or waiting for something and then scroll through making me jittery and anxious. That went away. I did it automatically but finding the site logged out of during that time just made me go back to being bored.

3. There was a state of mind. I'd say it was similar to the stereotypical "drooling in front of a TV" stereotype when I'm doom scrolling. Shortening temper, needless urgency, snapping when people interrupt my "flow". I get back into it every time I opened the site. I slipped out of this and when I then logged back in after a month, I could feel it pulling me back into that state of mind. I didn't explicitly track things but I quickly fell back into my old habits.
Yes, as a host, you are the one that decide if you want to accept or decline an offer. Meaning that if you want to first ask a coupe of questions, ask for some pics or similar - then you can do that.
If you learn languages you quickly notice that knowing the 99% most frequent words still means that you need to look up a word every paragraph or two and that you have trouble expressing yourself. To write Chinese you need to know several thousand characters, forgetting just a few dozen can be quite annoying when you try to write nontrivial texts.
> encourage simple duplication

A rule I like to follow:

- first time: write it

- second time: copy it

- third time: maybe refactor it
As others have said, this is par for the course. Competence all around you -- in most places -- is at best a transient phenomena, if you're a top 25% thinker. Assuming you are a top thinker, and you want to be challenged, then you could -- and should -- try to join an elite team elsewhere (e.g. FAANG+), but these opportunities are scarce and not equally available to all of us.

A more general strategy would be to realise what you can do is conditional on the world as it is, and try to make the best of that, improving incrementally as the opportunities arise. But this of course curtails a mind that is trying to produce the best its capacities will allow it.

I think that "making the best of it" is what most of "us" end up doing by the time we are in our 40s, and I would conjecture that here on HN you will find far more beautiful flowers that never blossomed than those that took their full bloom, for much the same reasons you mentioned, and the adaptions given above.
They have to handle it anyway. There's nothing in the HTTP specifications that disallows a server from using whatever codes it wants to that aren't specifically specified. There is no "HTTP 527 Server Needs a Nap" but it is perfectly legal for my server to reply to clients with that HTTP status, and clients are expected to handle it like they would handle any other non-specific error in the 5xx class of response codes (server error).

Other perfectly legal responses:

242 - TOO MUCH COFFEE
(Server is overcaffeinated and processing requests too quickly)

299 - SUCCESSFUL BUT SASSY
(Request succeeded but the server is throwing shade about it)

333 - QUANTUM UNCERTAINTY
(The server simultaneously succeeded and failed until observed)

Every year Hallowe'en seems to get bigger and bigger here, and Finnish culture's own "kekri" seems to fade into the background. However my perception may be warped by the avalanche of cheap Hallowe'en merch in the shops. This crapalanche is really out of control. It reeks of cultural imperialism.

FWIW the Khan academy app reinforces the whole Hallowe'en thang. So now my kid is into skeletons and jack-o'-lanterns. And in a crime against art, they have bastardized the song "Dem Bones".

- Looking for a startup community and being disappointed with what my city has to offer

- Deciding between VC vs. bootstrapping, and taking a firmer stance to try the latter first. This includes rejecting ODF.

- Talking with like-minded people. I now have a better understanding of what the MVP should look like.

> the tendency for wages in jobs that have experienced little or no increase in labor productivity to rise in response to rising wages in other jobs that did experience high productivity growth. In turn, these sectors of the economy become more expensive over time, because their input costs increase while productivity does not. Typically, this affects services more than manufactured goods, and in particular health, education, arts and culture.
