See. This is the sort of childish rhetoric one will get from Mastodon showing why little to no-one will take the site seriously, let alone the other fundamental problems that still exist.

So when are you going to tell me how many DAUs Mastodon has, to show after the failed migration from Twitter / X?
The vibe on other platforms was that it was going to be close, not that Kamala was going to win, which is the correct even handed judgement, and now all the votes have being counted, was correct.

The idea that I stopped clock is right twice a day but because it's twitter that means it's always right is a bit... come on. Hackernews commenters are supposed to be better than that.
Not never; phones also reboot when there are critical OS updates to apply — and that happens as long as the phone is both charging and locked at any time during a vendor-defined daily maintenance window (usually something like 2AM-4AM in the user's local time.)

This happens even if the user just put the phone to sleep a moment ago. The only way to prevent it is to never leave your phone locked and charging at the same time.
Why would the other party think the price would be reasonable? Like the entire point of minimally targeted ads is to spray and prey.

Like if you assume a CPM of $2, that means $0.002 per phone call. Would you really find that acceptable?

If the answer is no, then you aren't really accepting payment,you are just blocking people with extra steps. No different than if you said you will accept a phone call for a billion dollars. You aren't really accepting something for payment if you set a price that nobody will pay.
Care to elaborate as to why?

My 2024 thoughts on the state of social media
Feel slightly qualified to comment as I've been on twitter since close to Day 1, and also exclusively use Following (despite more aggressive attempts to push the algo feed since Elons purchase)

The #1 reason I had to leave Twitter is the degradation of replies. Prioritising blue ticks ruined any productive conversation in the comments. Much like HN is (imho) most valuable for the comments, old twitter was great for the expertise in the replies - where the cream rose to the top. Now it's impossible or takes a lot of scrolling to find useful dialogue.

It's not perfect, but for now Bluesky is scratching that itch of smart commentary immediately after a post. That was enough to get me to completely move to the platform.
PHP has always ben slow, its getting slightly faster, but still REALLY, REALLY slow for anything CPU heavy. This is why the ML crowd sticks with Python (numpy) thats incredibly fast.

PHP is still lacking, there is no unicode support, and for a web language this is really bad. Also, the way PHP functions, makes modern web (like websockets) use impossible, there is hacks around this but they all kind of suck.
That sounds like defensive programming; what makes you think meta refresh will not trigger always? If you can demonstrate it, it'd be worth filing a bug report with the respective browser(s). Same with the reboot, although the user does not control every software in the e-reader. That said, e-readers and tablets are designed to be always-on, so memory leaks should be rare nowadays.
At the same time it's common to hear "how does this not support high DPI?" or "How does this app not have a dark mode, it's 2024!" etc.

Modern toolkits just do a lot of stuff that older toolkits didn't. Some times at the expense of not being as quick to get off the ground as VB was.

The original winforms implementation in the early 2000's was pretty close to VB in terms of efficiency but its warts were numerous, e.g. the DPI used in the designer view (when writing the code) affected what happens when you run it, and so on.
"an unreliable but still useful indication that there may be something wrong in the design of the code"

Well, but you just proved the point - it can be described in non offensive manner. And more over, judging something based on gut feeling ("indication") may be actually even worse, as you may offend someone who did actually a good job.

Sorry if "nit picking", recently was reading a lot about burn outs in the industry, and this is a thing that did catch my attention...
ArduPilot has experienced its fair share of ups and downs.

Back in 2007, while I was a university student, I started an open-source hardware company that sold Arduino and similar products. At one point, I wanted to stock ArduPilot products from DIYDrones.com. To explore this, I performed a WHOIS lookup on their domain and called the listed number. The founder answered, but his response was less than welcoming. He said something along the lines of, “Do you know who I am? How dare you call me like this.” That was the end of the conversation—and the idea.

Like others have mentioned, I do believe there’s an opportunity to create an alternative.
It’s what old folks use when they could just text or email.
Surely the burden of proof is on those making a claim of election interference? Elections are designed to be reliable and there haven't been reports of previous elections being "stolen", so I would think that reasonable evidence should be provided if people want to push the idea that an election was interfered with.
You're describing an eating disorder in the first part there.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with this. For example, I have seen consultants recommend using Git for document versioning in medical device development.
Importing an ES module without a bundler involves making a HTTP request, which costs time.

Better KISS and fit all of JS in a single script.
"...And how to construct that state from lists of moves in chess’s extremely confusing notation?"

> The European "cookie law" does not mandate cookie banners, it mandates informed consent. Companies choose to implement that as a banner.

Would there exist any other method of implementing it that would be substantially different? Its hard to imagine. I suppose they could implement it by not having tracking cookies.

I think the ideal situation is that people could just set it as a browser preference and be done with it. Oh wait they already can.
This page only shows if a package has been uploaded with attestations .The verified details (Changelog/Code/Issue tracker) are showing because they do use Trusted Publishing.

However, they have not published a new version since the beginning of attestation support in PyPI. That's the meaning of the clock icon right to the package name.

Their workflow responsible for publishing new releases [1] has support for attestations. Thus, it will turn green on this page with the next project release.

That's the first time I've seen JSON api standard headers in the wild. There was a project where an architect indicated our APIs should be built in that fashion, but people just... disregarded it completely out of pragmatism, also because our endpoints were just pure API / JSON endpoints, never anything else. But seeing how it's used in the wild is pretty clever, same endpoint for different use cases.
> HTTP stands for Hypertext transfer protocol. The whole thing was predicated on sending HTML documents and couldn't originally send anything else.

OK, HTTP/0.9 was apparently like that. By HTTP/1.0 (1996) they'd learned better, and that was the growth phase:

https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec.html

> MIME is a hack to add attachments to email that was later also hacked into HTTP so you could send add "attachments" to a protocol designed only to transfer hypertext, it's a kludge added in version 1.1.

Like how Gopher got kludged to add other item types? All useful protocols evolve, and Gopher is no exception.

https://github.com/gopher-protocol/gopher-plus/blob/main/gop...

> Gopher's main difference with the web was that its linking was directory-based with directory tree documents rather than embedded hyperlinks. This was inferior, strictly speaking since you can easily make a directory HTML document on the web, but you could also cross-link.

Yes, that's true.

> I'm sure that would have been changed though, along with additional file-types or whatever had Gopher succeeded. The web's success over Gopher was never down to technical details.

Also true, and that New Gopher is now called Gemini.

https://geminiprotocol.net/

It also defines a hypertext document format (Gemtext) but it allows HTML-style free linking and (depending on client) inline images, although that's not really what the Gemini users want. Again, this is more social than technical, and more self-consciously social because it's a deliberate reaction to existing paradigms: The Web as it is now (too invasive, too busy) and Gopher as it is now (a moribund retrocomputing exercise that can't realistically incorporate new technologies or serve new goals).

Speaking of clients:

https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/

https://thelambdalab.xyz/elpher/

Both do Gemini and Gopher.
Nothing wrong with security by obscurity. It's widely used and it is effective. Security is security. Usually there are easier and more effective methods though, so if it's your only security layer then you might have missed a few things.
That's called a newsletter.
> then distrurbed for tests and briefings every 90 minutes for 3 days

How odd. Why do hospitals not cluster these interactions together — the "while I've got you here..." experience?
The cookie banners still have to be implemented somehow. I dont think there is a difference in the amount of tracking here.
Why not? You're presenting a false dichotomy, the time spent on this security does not take away time spent on the other ones you mentioned, and ultimately all security measures should be taken.
Show HN:Seeking Advice on Growing Gapsly – My SaaS Tool for Process Efficiency
Hello HN,

After months of effort, I recently launched Gapsly, a SaaS platform designed to help businesses pinpoint and close operational inefficiencies, boosting process effectiveness and productivity. It's up and running with minimal bugs, but I’ve hit a significant hurdle: generating consistent traffic and converting visitors into users has been tough. Building backlinks has also been a struggle so far.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

SEO optimization and refining the landing page messaging
Contributing to relevant forums and online communities
Submitting the site to backlink directories to boost domain authority (hoping it pays off over time)
Despite these efforts, engagement and conversions remain low. I'm eager to hear from anyone who’s been through similar struggles. Have you discovered marketing tactics, growth strategies, or channels that worked for your SaaS? Any advice on improving messaging, conversion strategies, or new avenues to explore would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to check out the tool here: https://gapsly.com

Thanks in advance for any tips and constructive feedback!

Perhaps you mean statically typed? i.e. type checked at compile time.

C is generally not considered to be strongly typed but Ruby is. i.e. types aren't automatically coerced at runtime in Ruby.
> phones also reboot when there are critical OS updates to apply

Of course, or when they run out of battery, or you drop them too hard, etc. But realistically you could go for weeks or months without a reboot. From a transient fault or malware perspective, that might as well be never.
A bit ironic hearing that critique coming from a monarchy... maybe because it takes one to recognize one?
>> PyPI package upload in favor of the trusted provider system. pip (or other tooling) will add warnings whenever I install a package that is not "trusted". Maybe I am simply pessimistic.

> Let me put it this way: if PyPI disables API tokens in favor of mandatory Trusted Publishing, I will eat my shoe on a livestream.

Yeah, sure. But parent poster also mentioned pip changes. Will you commit to eating a shoe if pip verifies attestations? Of course not, you know better than I do that those changes to pip are in the works and experimental implementations already available. You must have forgotten to mention that. PyPI doesn't have to be the bad guy on making sure its a PITA to use those packages. Insert Futurama "technically correct, the best kind of correct" meme.
> First priority, make sure you don't die. Sleep and recovery are down the list a bit.

But lack of sleep can impair immunity and disturb blood pressure and heart rhythm. Keeping someone with major trauma under stress (like being constantly awake) can make them more likely to die.
> I am kind of frustrated by the widespread misunderstandings in this thread.

SV and the advertising industry thrives on those misunderstandings.

Put simply, there is no need for "cookie banners" unless those cookies are being used to track or personally identify me (hello advertisers!), in which case, I need to give my opt-in informed consent to allow this; and so I should.

Hardly surprising SV and the advertising industry campaigns against "cookie banners", rather than their own unethical trading in personal data without consent.

> Why invest so much time and money in a feature that prevents such a small percentage of data breaches ...

Because it's a tractable problem that these devs can solve - and just because they're working on this doesn't meant they (or others) aren't also working on the other things.

> It doesn't matter that you can cryptographically verify that a package came from a given commit if ...

Sure, but just because it doesn't solve every single problem doesn't mean it's not worthwhile
Shopware App Server SDK in JavaScript
The paper doesn't really say that. Summary:

> The study concludes that while individuals may initially sleep more when given extended opportunities—likely to recover from prior sleep deprivation—they do not sustain excessive sleep beyond their physiological needs. Consistently sleeping more than 10 hours may indicate underlying health issues and warrants further investigation.

So more than 10 hours might indicate a problem, not 8-9 hours. Also, it's different if people work out a lot or have a physically demanding job:

> For athletes or individuals with high physical demands, 10 hours of sleep might not indicate an underlying health issue but rather an increased physiological requirement. Research has shown that elite athletes often sleep longer than the general population.
(this is not from the paper but from a quick search)
"It lost every single game, even though Stockfish was on the lowest setting."

It's not playing against a GM, the prompt just phrases it this way. I couldn't pinpoint the exact ELO of "lowest" stockfish settings, but it should be roughly between 1000 and 1400, which is far from professional play.
I would say that anything you write can come back to you in the future, so don’t blindly sign your name on anything you didn’t review yourself.
Small binary size?

58MB for a hello world doesn't not seem small to me.

58MB might not seem much but we used to have entire games in a few MB.

You might argue it doesn't increase that much after 58MB, I don't know what is this good for. I want my command line apps to be lean, I don't care about decoupling source and deno binary on a server side program. I don't see the benefits personally.
Read. It's only when you don't touch it for 3 days. And I bet if you didn't even touch it for 3 days you won't even notice if it has rebooted or not.

The numbers are much lower I think, at least nowadays.

> On average, a user visits about 100 websites per month, totaling 1,200 websites per year.

The number of 100 websites per month is pulled out of thin air. Following the links it seems to be based on the number of web PAGES visited DAILY by Americans in 2007.

In my anecdata most people are online a lot but mostly in just a few apps and websites.

So I guess all numbers in the article should be much much lower.
Not specific to "after a heart attack" but IME while both are important Sleep is much more important than Exercise.

Anecdata: I spent a decade as caregiver/caretaker for my late Mother who refused to do any exercises except the absolute necessary ones which a doctor would ask her to do for a specific cause eg. back pain, breathing exercises etc. As soon as that symptom alleviated she would abandon the exercises. So i encouraged her to take long naps whenever she felt sleepy and it helped keep her mental faculties sharp and physically feel spry (within limits of course).

> I don't understand why educated people expect that an LLM would be able to play chess at a decent level.

Because it would be super cool; curiosity isn't something to be frowned upon. If it turned out it did play chess reasonably well, it would mean emergent behaviour instead of just echoing things said online.

But it's wishful thinking with this technology at this current level; like previous instances of chatbots and the like, while initially they can convince some people that they're intelligent thinking machines, this test proves that they aren't. It's part of the scientific process.
> Why should websites even be trusted with implementing these banners in the first place?

Because these "banners" are not just about cookies but about data processing and storage. Cookies are just the most obvious and immediate aspect because they're browser-facing and thus consent needs to be obtained early on. But there's nothing special about cookies when it comes to the need to obtain consent (even the ePrivacy directive which singles them out only does so to explain what information needs to be disclosed in order for consent to be possible).

> Instead, we are trusting the very websites we are blaming on tracking us in the most decietful, malicious ways possible to self-regulate and implement these controls.

Yes. Because they break the law if they don't comply or try to trick you to "opt in".

> So there's no consistency.

Yes. Most consent dialogs are breaking the law by being intentionally non-compliant to mislead visitors into opting in. The ePrivacy directive makes it pretty clear what a compliant dialog would look like. For example if you have a big "accept all" CTA you need to have an equally prominent "reject all and proceed" CTA.

> And 90% of the time you can't disable all the cookies anyway, because there's that little grayed out toggle control for "strictly necessary cookies."

If they're strictly necessary, they are required for the site to function. Disabling them would make the site not work.

> How do I know one of those cookies you consider "strictly-necessary" or "crucial for site functionality" doesn't connect back to some evil tracking algorithm, the blocking of which was the whole point of this banner debacle in the first place?

Because that would break the law.

> So we have essentially asked websites to self-regulate the way the US's vitamin/supplement industury does, except its worse because I don't have to click a fucking banner before I take a capsule of what may or may not be vitamin C.

No, we have created a law they have to follow and which they can be fined for violating. We have also established privacy and the right to your personal data as a universal right because everything else in the GDPR and ePrivacy directive follows downhill from that.

They're not self-regulating, they're regulated. This is literally how regulation works: they have to follow the law or they risk a fine. The problem right now is some DPAs dragging their heels, most being underfunded and foreign companies getting special "One Stop Shop" deals where a ridiculously corrupt DPA (hello Ireland) gets to be the single DPA in charge of handling complaints about them.

Here in New York it's half way through November and sunset is ~16:40 today.
The issues encountered here is exactly why we need good reviews for new technologies that try a bunch of stuff and find what works and what doesn't. It is a pity that the author did not get into the trouble of trying another cable at least.

Re: shuttering etc display issues "despite having a 4090 nvidia gpu", I am a bit confused whether the displays connected through a thunderbolt dock are supposed to be controlled by the discrete gpu or only by the igpu. I would assume that it can only go through the on board one but I may be wrong. This could also explain why the power delivered capped at 87W while gaming instead of the claimed 140W capacity of the dock, because if the igpu was exclusively used maybe the consumption may not have reached that high.

Also he says that once he encountered some ssd transfer issues when both transferring data and using the dock's ethernet connection, he "allowed windows to use the wifi" but if both ethernet and wifi are available windows (and most OSs I know) tend to prefer the ethernet by default, so I doubt this would change anything anyway. Still the bandwidth should be more than enough for TB5, which is puzzling. One thing that the author could have checked is whether the connection was actually TB5 or it fell back to a lesser version. The way it is all described it would not actually surprise me even if the connection fell back to USB3gen2 or so.

It would have been a better review imo if the author checked and reported on such very probable causes of the issues he encountered.
Setting a browser preference is not giving explicit opt-in informed consent to handle my personal data (for that is what this is about) on a case by case basis.

That is what the law requires.

Blame the unnecessary gathering of personal data (and think about why they want it!), not the 'cookie law'.
Most by volume perhaps but not the projects actually being used.
The XBOX would do it better; but sadly current ports are abandoned.

An XBOX with 128MB of RAM would run Fluxbox or whatever light env with ease, and with Dillo
and a PSP user agent you could even post into HN. Gemini and Gopher would do it fine,
even with clients written in TCL/Tk. It would be a fine backup PC for either thinkering
or rescueing.

With ZRAM you could almost mimic a 192MB of RAM based device, good for maybe a browser like Seamonkey/IceApe if it could be built without SSE2.
Surely there's yet another kind of machine they could hook up, that could silently monitor you for blood loss / internal bleeding? Especially if they know where to expect that potential bleeding to appear?

Create an automation shortcut that reboots your phone every day and you're set.
If it happens, you won’t notice it even with PEP740 because all those “trusted publishers” already are or may easily be compromised by state actors. It’s all smoke and mirrors without reproducible builds.
The only reason this exists is because of the ad/tracking parasites that infected the entirety of the internet.
