> > While not all of the women she interviewed cited religious reasons or motivations for their choice to defy the birth dearth, most did. So faith, while not a prerequisite for the choice to have more children, is at least a catalyst. Greater religious liberty, especially with respect to educational choice, would allow for competing narratives of womanhood to re-enter the educational environment and allow women to choose narratives of self that more accurately account for the reciprocal opportunity cost of motherhood and career. I could not agree more.

lol, never miss an opportunity to make your pet political issue the solution I guess.

Not going to miss mine either. Let's back up to the part about faith playing a role. It is actually not faith itself that plays the role, it is the organization surrounding that faith. Having a support system is incredibly important when raising a child, even if that just means getting moral support at the weekly social gathering for mothers.

But people are turning their backs on these institutions. Why? Because they suck. No, it's not the people who suck, it's the institutions. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/13/gen-z-...

It turns out that, in modern times, young women know LGBT people and actually like them! They also don't like organizations that espouse hateful messages about them (yes, saying someone will burn in hell for an eternity for being gay is an incredibly hateful message, no amount of twisting words will change that). The article goes into the other aspects of the conservatism turning people away from organized religion.

Religious institutions are important and can play a role in giving mothers the community they need to flourish. Unfortunately, conservatives would rather destroy community than adapt to the times. As a local "true" Christian said in a review of a local affirming church: "one star, not biblical, they just talk about how to be a nice person". Damn... that affirming church rejecting the good news by *checks notes* telling people to be nice to one another. Maybe that review was an incredible act of compassion, because it really has me considering going to that church.

Aside from the article itself being interesting, it is nice to see bits of the old internet resurfacing from time to time.
I'd like to add my perspective here. I drove 50 miles to and from work every day for 5 years, around Stockholm, Sweden. 80 % highway traffic.

The only driving aid I use (rely on) on is ACC (Automatic Cruise Control), to keep my speed and distance (maximum) to the car in front of me. I almost always stay in the rightmost lane doing the speed limit.

Without a doubt Tesla drivers consistently stood out as the most "strange". Drivers of all brands can be stressed and drive too fast, but Tesla drivers were janky, couldn't stay in their lanes, and very often didn't keep a safe distance to the car in front of them.

Worst part, they didn't seem aware of their surroundings. They would merge in the most insane situations/positions or dangerously try to pass other drivers.

I don't know if they relied on their hardware to guide them, this autopilot thing, or whatever else they have, but it puckered me up good.

No, it's not the same. I never enable optimisations by manually passing in flags to the compiler. It's always a `cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=...`. There is no such easily accessible equivalent for bounds checking.

It's funny, my comment said exactly what it said and you construed it all incorrectly. It's as if the more philosophy you people read, the less you can catch your own mistakes. Even people with PhDs (iirc they were a theoretical physicist patronizing somebody else's comment) like the person my comment was originally directed at (if you care, you should review my comment in that context to understand it correctly).

Does it have to be open source, or just running locally? The paid version of Acrobat does this well. MacOS has pretty good built-in OCR capabilities and Windows isn’t far behind.

If you have the hardware for it, you can run some LLMs locally. Although for accounting data, I probably wouldn’t trust it.

I feel your pain.

I had a fourth-round interview recently where I was expected to write code while narrating my thoughts to two people sitting either side of me - and while perched on a wobbly office stool at a standing desk. Couldn't think. Totally bombed it.
The interesting thing is that a lot of TV infrastructure is now running over IP networks. If I were to order a TV connection for my home I'd get an IPTV box to connect to my broadband router via Ethernet, and it'd simply tell the upstream router to send a copy of a multicast stream my way.

Reliable and redundant multicast streaming is pretty much a solved problem, but it does require everyone along the way to participate. Not a problem if you're an ISP offering TV, definitely a problem if you're Netflix trying to convince every single provider to set it up for some one-off boxing match.

Show HN: Created SaaS Liquidation marketplace after 40 failed products myself
I have been building products for a long time. Launched many SaaS, mobile apps, etc.

Some of them generated some revenue but some failed quickly without making any money.

I was always wondering if there is any way to sell the no-revenue products for cheap because instead of plain shutting them down maybe someone might be looking for a similar product to buy?

Had this idea of having a marketplace for selling no/pre-revenue products in July/August. After talking to a couple of people, Finally I decided to build and launch SaaSLiquidate. It's a Free marketplace where sellers can list the products that they want to liquidate for cheap. and it's Free for buyers as well.

The reason behind making it for Free is to have no restrictions for Seller and Buyer and eventually have a proper demand and supply.

Currently, people can list their products for sale or their codebase for sale.

Would love to get some feedback on SaaSLiquidate from you guys

Cheers

For some people[1], when their body temperature drops below a certain point, circulation in hands and feet is reduced. This helps heat the body core, saving organs while potentially sacrificing hands or feet.

At first this feels like a burn, then like someone's putting needles into your hands, and then they just go numb. You can't do precise actions with your hand anymore and soon you'll lose most of the ability to move it at all. You might even lose the body part. All while the core of your body is still warm and you're still able to walk and talk.

But as said, not everyone experiences this. For some people, when they get cold, their body increases circulation in the hands, keeping them warm enough to continue working no matter what.

If that's what it takes to make something worth playing, then so be it.

Was Bungie in its day a charity? Or did they just get it? 20 years later the magic is gone and Microsoft is desperately trying to figure out how to make the goose lay an egg. As long as they're optimizing quarterly reports they'll never get there.
Netflix won't take a hit here.

Most people pay Netflix to watch movies and tv shows, not sports. If I hadn't checked Hacker News today, I wouldn't even know they streamed sports, let alone that they had issues with it. Even now that I do, it doesn't affect how I see their core offering, which is their library of on-demand content.

Netflix's infrastructure is clearly built for static content, not live events, so it's no shock they aren't as polished in this area. Streaming anything live over the internet is a tough technical challenge compared to traditional cable.
There is a seismic shift happening, involving millions of users.

Also, this is a seemingly great underdog story. First open source app to top the App Store, a tiny scrappy team of protocol nerds takes on the most powerful people in the world...

What leads you to believe that people posting about this is not organic?

Anecdotally, I have submitted a few stories about Bluesky, and I am paid nothing.
Oh, phosphorescence per subpixel (instead of flooding all in "white" that was created through phosphorescence from blue in a central place) sounds like an awesome power optimization for where you still want/need subtractive LCD instead of some *LED with additive per-(sub)pixel emitter.

For those following outdoor sports tech, I wonder if this might be the secret sauce that allowed Garmin to abandon transflective screens in the Edge 1050, which unlike their post-transflective watches is still technically an LCD. (the not secret at all meat of the change is a depressingly massive battery and big loss in runtime, but I suspect that the battery alone isn't enough to explain that the loss isn't even bigger)
Even some of the old guard can do this. The Olympics worked pretty well (despite the awkward UI), and that was Peacock/NBC.

Perhaps Netflix still needs a dozen more microservices to get this right...

Wrong, what you are suggesting is the easy road, to treat reading Latour as a thought exercise about intentions and context. Fundamentally you are confusing some useful techniques - contextualization and intellectual empathy - with the critical assessment of philosophical and scientific works. You are also assume Latour isn't invalid like string theorists or even worse like Deepak Chopra and other intellectual charlatans.

Bad philosophy begets bad critical thinking skills, which then reproduces itself in readers who keep making bad arguments. So then it spreads and you get people who are well-read yet lack basic critical thinking ability, and even worse they cannot detect their own mistakes anymore. That's the reason why bad philosophy is especially harmful, because it works on a meta-level. Studying philosophy is not just a thought exercise rabbit hole, some literature (Latour) is actually just bad, and other philosophers have argued this!
Thermoception is indeed thought to be a response to heat flux rather than absolute temperatures. If the tissue is colder, water at the same temperature should warm it up faster and thus elicit a stronger heat perception.
Not necessarily. Python had the best C-API, that was the main reason. If Nim or Lisp copied that C-API people might move.

It is safe to say in 2024 that people do not want FFIs.
Best avoid altogether, by filtering out hardware without open tooling.

You're the one misunderstanding here. The reference implementation that they provided (which I actually believe is gsl::span) allows configuration. The design for the standard, as you have mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, does not provide bounds checking. I am making a big deal out of this because it is a problem that affects real codebases, not something hypothetical that you can wave away with your idea of how things work. The fact is that people who care about security ship non-bounds-checked spans because this is not the default option.
I thought it's only the best of the best of the best working at Netflix ... or maybe we can just put this myth to sleep that Netflix even knows what it's doing. The suggestions are shit, the UX is shit, apparently even the back end sucks.

There's no way 300 million people watched this, especially if that number is representing every Netflix subscriber. The largest claimed live broadcast across all platforms is last year's Super Bowl with 202 million unique viewers for at least part of it, but that includes CBS, Nickelodeon, and Univision, not just streaming audiences. Its average viewers for the whole game was 123 million, which is second all-time to the Apollo 11 moon landing.
I did basically the same, to get some important CLI tools past the company firewall, just a few months back.

Not necessarily — I've had the misfortune of working with someone who repeatedly, rather than subclass, duplicated the entire file.

Including the comments I'd added saying "TODO: de-duplicate this method".

That only got the project up to about 120 kloc before I'd had enough of that nonsense and left.

My understanding is that line count was mostly down to that one dev, as he didn't only ignore what I had to say when I was there, he also ignored the occasional contractor.

I feel this is more likely a reference to the classic Tex Avery Droopy Dog cartoons, where the bloodhound improbably always catches up with his prey no matter how ridiculous his attempts to escape. The entry into a wood cabin in the wilds and slamming the door is a recurring motif.

I also feel like the match blow out is another cartoon reference.
The expected trend varies depending on the stage in the curve. Threads is at the size were a positive trend should be exponential. Once you've fully expanded, a positive trend would be a very tiny growth as you've already captured the entire market.

I'm concerned that Bluesky has taken money from VCs, including Blockchain Capital. The site is still in the honeymoon phase, but they will have to pay 10x of that money back.

This is Twitter all over again, including risk of a hostile takeover. I don't think they're stupid enough to just let the allegedly-decentralized protocol to take away their control when billions are at stake. They will keep users captive if they have to.

Because sometimes your files are very large it's not easy to create separate archives with (roughly) even size.

A single video can easily be over 20GB, for example.
Yes, the bane of the self learners. Explanations often omit "you don't need to know this" bits because it's crystal clear to the explainer but you're left with big gaps in the shape of black boxes in your understanding.

Until you can piece it together from other explanations that omitted different bits.

Most likely it isnt that the heart stops or starts in response to freezing. The heartbeat signal probably runs 24/7 unless inhibited by freezing. So as soon as it thaws, the signaling bit resumes its pulsing and the rest of the heart begins to beats as it also thaws. The order in which organs thaw would be regulated by sugar levels. Remember too that at this scale frogs can absorb much of their needed O2 through their skin. A steady heartbeat isn't as essential as it is with us.
