A free trial implies that you can use a service for a limited period without cost. It's only because they have normalised it that you expect to get charged if you forget.

I‘m quite sure, that a lot of people aren‘t trained that way. I know that anecdotical evidence doesn‘t count, but I know a handful of people that surely don’t know how to use symbols to „imply empathy“.
Plastic slide covers that stick on are pretty cheap if your laptop doesn't already have one. I also think that the open microphone issue is a greater problem, especially with the current ability of speech-to-text, but what you utter may not be as important as being seen "doing a Toobin" during an online meeting. YMMV :) (I won't expand that acronym!)
A positive impact, that's awesome.

I don't believe that the frame material makes much difference to comfort. The part that can deflect/absorb bumps and vibration the best is the tyre. So the answer to your question is bigger tyres at lower pressures.

He's a rightwing crybaby and also a fool. But that tax is a problem.

For example, it's not restricted to tradable assets. Some assets are exempt, but ability to trade is not a reason for exemption. If you own an asset that's valued at x, that's it, no matter whether you can sell a part of the asset or not. If five friends set up a startup and then they get a first round of investment, those five friends are going to have a tax bill based on the investment round, and the inability to sell shares in an unlisted startup isn't relevant.

I pay my taxes with my head held high, but I also do object to being required to do something that's practically impossible.

Recursive teXt (RX) would be a great fit for Lisp, although I am more interested in replacing Lisp entirely with a simpler language rooted in abstraction logic.

Note that RX is not like normal semantic white space, but simpler. It is hard coded into the text without taking its content into consideration. RX is basically nested records of text, making it very robust, but encoded as plain text instead of JSON or something like that.
In companies I've worked at I noticed databases (Both SQL and No-SQL) are never hosted in Kubernetes clusters. I am looking for opinions of more senior folks on why is that? Is Kubernetes simply not mature enough?

100m USD? No one makes that much money legitimately without a product and a large staff to show for it.
It looks like these are more lower level libraries so clients are supposed to block, but they are responsible for doing the blocking themselves.

And given these are designed for "ultra-low-latency" systems, I don't think that's a big problem because the best blocking strategy is probably just to spin.

It would be nice if the docs were nicer though, considering this is a paid product...
On master/main? What are you, a savage?

That's the only version that should really matter. Release branches, if used, tend to be pretty stable in terms of git shenanigans.

The versions of dev branches don't really matter, and if it's a huge concern, you can simply bump the version in the NGBV config file to ensure that versions increase the way you want them to.
I don't get why I would choose a dataclass in cases where I've already decided that an ordinary tuple would be a better fit than a normal class (i.e. "anywhere you're tempted to use a namedtuple")

To me, namedtuples are a convenience to give a nicer syntax than ordinary tuples in scenarios where I don't want the overhead of having to store a copy of all the keys with every object, like a dict would. Dataclass seems to be even more stuff on top of a class which is effectively even more stuff on top of a dict, but all the use cases of namedtuples are those where you want much less stuff than an ordinary class has. And I don't want to have to define a custom class just as I often don't define a custom namedtuple in my code but use the one the database driver generates based on the query, which is a very common use case for namedtuples as efficient temporary storage of data that then gets processed to something else.
aluminum is nice, yet once in a blue moon you get something like this year an aluminum hiking pole broke when i lost my balance on a slippery slope and put a lot of weight on the pole and falling i almost got skewered by it's broken off jagged lower piece.

Nope. But I’ve read some reviews on the recent kv-300hs which stated they may have been “downgraded”, or it depends on a region/factory. Despite that I bought another one this spring in a local hw store for a new workplace and it doesn’t feel any worse yet.
It's not what you know, but who you know. Any type of mass-media is fodder for the have-nots, while the haves get their information from trustworthy sources through their in-group. The more addictive facebook, tiktok and twitter are, the bigger the premium is of being part of the right group. Whether the memes you consume are in print is entirely incidental.

> Make long-lasting high-quality 100$ pants? People prefer spending 10$ on Shein.

This is just fashion, right? As something becomes commoditised, it starts to become subject to fashion, which means cheap and looks fashionable is more important than durability. So you can buy one every year and keep up, and throw away the old one.
Nah, the Chinese companies just don't believe that a business moat could be built by pure technologies given there're a surplus supply of fundings and capable engineers, as well as the mediocre IP protection law enforcement in China market.

Instead, they believe in building moat upon customer data retentions, user behavior bindings and collaboration network or ecosystem.

It's all about tradeoff between profit margin vs. volume scale, while in China market the latter one always prevail.
This. There are actually two things that the EU is pushing, that the populace does not want.

One is regulating speech. I'm familiar with both the UK and Germany: in both, you can go to jail for insulting people, especially if the person you insult is a politician. They are expanding this to include ever milder insults, and ever more forms of speech. Absolutely dystopian.

The other is unregulated immigration. All of Europe is being flooded by young men from Northern Africa and the Middle East. Uneducated, unskilled, and often criminal. Yet the governments refuse to kick them out, or to prevent ever more from arriving.

The latter, immigration, is the single biggest factor driving the emergence of the far right.

Hey, been meaning to try picoCAD for a while now this might push me over the edge :)

For my curiosity: How are you distributing this? Is it the Web version of the pico8 game or did you rewrite it in love or something? Or does pico8 allows to embed their VM when distributing on Steam?

> I realize ethics are no longer understood by much of Western society because the culture teaches transactionality, worships trickle-down economics and greed, and hyperindividualism.

You realise incorrectly, I would say. It's very defensible to claim that Western society has the most - by a giant margin - social, economic and technological advances in history, and to boil it down to this is just a bit silly, in my opinion.
Sounds fun. What kind of mini PC are looking at? I am a big fan of used Dell wyse 5070 devices you find from $70, native Linux support, rather big community (easy to Google). Running one as a server and one as an mobile PC even.

One thing I would consider earlier is virtual machine hosting. Making it easy to setup, test, build and destroy a system without consequences. Virtual machines (and docker container, and more) are easy to setup and manage trough 'cockpit' and you can learn the command lines later when you need it.

Imo there is no point going directly into Industrie tools (kubernetes, docker, anisble) it may is better to first learn why they even exist by building systems the traditional way.
My Pinephone has a switch for the microphone and also my Pinebook Pro laptop. But I also would agree that this is exotic hardware.
I can't get interested in a book if I don't get a warm recommendation. Anyone want to recommend one of the books in that list?
Nope, I still get the paywall. I noticed this for some time, the trick to go "Incognito" does not work any more for some sites.

It's not a big deal, I can use the archive link or just not read it, all those articles are merely of the "mildly interesting" category anyway. Not to mention that they are 90+% fluff and the core message could usually be summarized with a few sentences.

I am curious though, given that this is HN, does anyone know how they are doing that paywall tracking these days? It is not just NYT where the fresh incognito window no longer works to get around the restriction. Washington Post too, for example, at least for me.

Just install an NSA-B-GONE, my janky open-source modboard that adds Thinklight-controlled USB hardware switches to the webcam and microphone! Designed for the X220, but the X230 is pretty similar so I bet it would work: https://github.com/zakqwy/NSA-B-GONE

Of course, if everyone does that, attackers will just start pulsing Thinklights and seeing if anything enumerates, I suppose.
For us, our Nomad cluster clients (the instances that runs the workloads), are a bit more ephemeral, the workloads are moved around servers, and the servers go up and down as we scale the infrastructure.

A database, that should be highly available, that is on a node that's going down, might disrupt database clients and end-users.

Not to say that you can't host databases inside the cluster, you can place databases on more stable servers (tag them with "db", be careful when you make changes) and don't move workloads, or manage expectations with the database clients.
I always wondered the same; is the code avaible?

It's an opinion piece to some extent of course, and usually I'm not too keen on some sort of Nobel laureate whataboutism, but it's interesting history which is probably really not as widely known as it should be.

I didn't think of it myself at first, but after having it pointed out to me that Fukushima is still alive to receive a prize it actually seems like a missed opportunity.

Maybe just slightly too difficult to shoehorn into the Physics prize though, which already had to stretch its boundaries a bit for Hopfield Nets and Boltzmann machines.
Maybe Physiology or Medicine should do one too?

Many years ago (pre-smartphone), there was a Java library, written by an Italian chap, that did pretty much the same thing. Don’t remember the name. This appears to use the same approach. I think they had a PHP version, but that was a long time ago. I know it was several megabytes, which was huge, in those days.

Did what it said on the tin, but did so, by maintaining a huge list of individual devices and their characteristics. At the time, I chose not to use it (I was developing a [c]WAP server), but it had a number of supporters, and its maintainer was pretty sharp, and quite dedicated.

These days, there’s an order of magnitude more devices, and a much greater variety. Big job.

Possible, I have one IPS monitor with a spot on screen where the color is pale. I had a post-it note there and I guess something bad happened when I tore it off.

My mom inspired me to build an Design tool – Need your honest feedback
A few months ago, my mom kept bombarding me with questions about redesigning our living room.

She kept asking me, "What if we moved this?" or "How would this color look?" Being a tech person, I thought there had to be a better way than endless Pinterest boards and expensive consultations. That's how Styly was born (named after my mom Sylvia - she insisted!). It's an AI platform that helps visualize interior changes before making them.

I built a simple AI tool that lets anyone reimagine their rooms through WhatsApp AI design (because let's face it, that's where our parents are most comfortable!). Just send a photo, describe what you want, and boom - you get design variations!I've been testing it with my mom (she's now obsessed and has redesigned every room twice ��),

We've grown to over 5k users who are actively redesigning their spaces, which honestly blows my mind! While the free tier has helped many people, maintaining and improving the AI features isn't cheap. I'm considering adding some premium features to keep the project sustainable while keeping the core features free

What started as a solution for my mom has grown into something I'm really proud of, but I know it can be better. I'd love to hear from fellow Redditors:

• What features would make this actually useful for you?
• Any cool ideas you'd like to see implemented?
• What would make you trust an AI design tool

Your feedback would mean the world!

P.S. If anyone's interested in testing ai home design out and providing detailed feedback, I'd be grateful!
Missing murakami's 1Q84
Why?

Iiuc this is just about APIs for the recommendation engine

It’s never been easier to generate recommendations (eg via LLMs and other routes)

The core functionality otherwise remains unchanged in the API
They also tried to do this with a free electron laser as the EUV source.

A JP lab is continuing those efforts, at least.
Essays have traditionally been discursive, referential, and elaborate. The genre is not intended to be a pragmatic information dump digested in the shortest possible time, but an occasion for laying out an argument while taking pleasure in possibilities of English prose.
You don’t need to scrape other platforms. LLMs are already probably pretty darn good at this.

I agree with two major issues raised here. Importance of reading long form content and harms of environment full of distractions.

Saying that solution is not turning back and giving up on digital. It would be same as giving up on printing to embrace a teacher focused learning.

I have used Spotify Audio Features API to display albums and playlist on a radar charts showing acousticness, instrumentalness, energy etc. And to make recomendations (generate playlists) for similiar music based on these charateristics.

It has been fun project but now I am glad that I have never considered making anything serious out of it.

I did this project because my impression is that Spotify had been always trying to steer me not to music that I like but to music that Spotify makes most money of. It had always been paid promotions over user's tastes in music.

And I am not on Spotify anymore for years now. Apple Music have really tasteful recommendations and music curation.
Prior to the 1980s, the government price-fixed airline tickets and legally instituted AT&T as the sole national carrier of the country. Legal mandates against price competition and the entry of new competitors into a national market is not a free market. If you've been able to have conversations with someone on the other side of the world at little to no cost or you've enjoyed multiple trips across world without breaking the bank, then you've benefited from the deregulation of these industries.
I think I've read about a quarter of the list, and only a couple of the ones I've read fit that title to me. I wish the list contained a line explaining why...
But this requires a legal framework that mandates such licenses and effective emforcement / procecution of violations.

As far as I know, most countries are lagging behind when it comes to updating legislation to set binding rules around that.
Only when they are messing in third world countries' internal affairs. Can't allow that in Britain[0].

That incentivizes not so much long-term thinking as the politics of the permanent stagnation bunker. You'd get a caste of mortal disposable workers who live in the flood plains, working for a tiny group of immortals who have locked down the top positions and made themselves effective rulers for life.

The page links to another page where the term is described, but also refutations that it's used in a different connotation.
What kills me with that website is that an example version string is nowhere to be found. The same thing almost plagues the TrunkVer page (unless you realize that you are supposed to ignore the newlines in that gray intro box), except at the very bottom you can see a dogfooded TrunkVer of the spec page itself.

If you want your thing to be popular, make sure someone dumb like me skimming the marketing blurp can quickly understand what the thing looks like in the wild.

I haven't commonly experienced issues that would cause my router to lose access to ntp for extended periods of time, and in such cases you can just reset using physical button. Of course, TOTP should be optional to use so I am not too worried.
An everyday example is the difference between JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) and a pretty printer like ipython or Deno.inspect. Having only one node per line reduces the amount of data that can be displayed. It's the same with code.
Just an anecdote thats been horrifying me for the last week since Klein is mentioned.

I learned last week that my colleague bought a commuting bike from an old friend. A true once in a lifetime barn find. Mid 90s Klein Attitude, only used for a few weeks before being stored in the barn until 2023. My colleague is currently putting it through its second winter on salted, snowy roads.
These workarounds might be good enough to detect ~1-5% changes from a baseline of a native, pre-compiled application. However this won't be sufficient for many dynamic, JIT-compiled languages which will usually still have large amounts of inter-run variance due to timing-sensitive compilation choices of the runtime. A statically significant ~10% change can be hard to detect in these circumstances from a single run.

In my experience multi-run benchmarking frameworks which use non-parametric statistics should be the default tool of choice unless you know the particular benchmark is exceptionally well behaved.
