I vaguely remember the word tariff being used to refer to fees or duties in a history class growing up, but as you've noted, it's not used this way in American English anymore. When I got the email from Hetzner this morning, I thought they were taking preemptive action against some tariff/sanction that Trump must have announced against EU data companies.
This sounds so useless that it could be an Onion article. What am I missing?

“There are no penalties for young people or parents who flout the rules.

Social media companies also won't be able to force users to provide government identification, including the Digital ID, to assess their age.”
this is the same argument as "why have government id cards, someone could just use a fake beard and use their older classmates id". Any system allows for some gaps, similar to how creditcard transactions make transactions safer but on either side of that transaction there some "insurance" and some leeway if someone really wanted to.
Performance optimization is not always just low-hanging fruit. When you start trying to optimize something, there's often large bottlenecks to clean up -- "we can add a hashmap here to turn this O(n^2) function into O(n) and improve performance by 10x" kind of thing. But once you've got all the easy stuff, what's left is the little things -- a 1% improvement here, a 0.1% improvement there. If you can find 10 of those 1% improvements, now you've got a 10% performance improvement. 0.2 seconds on its own isn't that much, but the reason mold is so fast is because the author has found a lot of 0.2 second improvements.

And even disregarding that, the linked LKML post
mentions LLVM/clang at a case of building a 4GB executable. If you've ever built the LLVM project from source, there's about 50ish (?) binaries that need to be linked at the end of the build process -- it's not just clang, but all sorts of other tools, intermediate libraries and debugging utilities. So that is an example of a workload with "multi-GB executables being built at such a pace" -- saving 0.2 seconds per executable saves something like 10 seconds on the build.
It is only really an issue with aluminium forks and non traditionnal construction.

With a "diamond shaped" traditionnal cycling frame you have nearly 0 chance of a frame failing catastrophically. Usually the weaker part crack and your bike just end up creaking horribly and/or feel noodly. I have suffered and witnessed a number of alu and alu+carbon bonded frame failing at the glued joints.

It's weird. It is not rare to find at a given store that all the name brand bulbs have "CRI > 80" (probably 80.5) and some cheap off-brand product has CRI > 95. You really need to check the labels. IME, high CRI products are otherwise fine as well, e.g. no flicker.

Iw was my understanding that NA rent prices are much lower than in places with high population density such as Europe or Japan? Every time I am in the USA I am shocked by the amount of commercial activities that would never work in Europe because of the sheer amount of space required to host them.

The Third Man is another example. Graham Greene wrote a treatment before he wrote the screenplay. The treatment, which wasn't written with publication in mind, was later published as a novella, and it differs from the film in several notable ways, because Greene and the directors changed things during the writing of the screenplay and the principal making of the film.

This was one of the most eye-opening truths of the industry revealed to me when I started interviewing candidates. There are so many software developers, even with long histories of well-known companies on their resume, who just cannot write code. Even Fizzbuzz. Even "write a for loop with an if statement" type problems. Under pressure or under no pressure. On a whiteboard or on a computer. This has been shockingly true about a pretty consistent percentage of candidates for every company I've worked with as an interviewer for 25 years.

This is why we have leetcode and Fizzbuzz. There are simply too many phonies applying and counting on their charm and charisma to get them the job, which sometimes works when you don't make candidates actually demonstrate their skills.
There are five synchronous areas in Europe, the largest one being the synchronous grid of continental Europe [1].

Each national grids has interconnections with other grids and you can measure the flow of power through these interconnections to know who is sending electricity or getting electricity from neighbours.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_grid_of_Continenta...
So that would be undesirable if true, but how would it be less secure than not having secure boot?

Of course, most/all SB BIOSes enable setting your own platform key.
You can measure the flow of power by calculating the vector product of the current and voltage in the power line. EEVblog has a very good explanation video how this is done in an (analog) domestic watt-hour meter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_3DXcB9-xE
> So I don't think it's incorrect to call a price list a "tariff"

I'm pretty sure it is in American English. That usage might be ok in British English, but for Americans that terminology is going to be confusing. Before today, I had never heard tariff used for anything other than import taxes. And since this applies to servers in the US, it would make sense not to use terminology that would be confusing to people in that country.
I was working in Mississippi during 2016 election. I met many people who point blank told me they will not vote for Clinton, just because she is a woman (there are a million reasons not to vote for Clinton, her gender is not one of them). What should we call such people?

Do you mean democracy only works when all people vote for options that you think are sensible?

How did you deduce that from my comment? Just one day after Brexit, tons of people regretted voting to leave - lots of them admitted they didn't take the vote seriously, they thought others would vote to stay, so their vote wouldn't matter. A serious voter would have voted on the merits of staying or leaving the EU, not because they were angry at some politician or some other policy <-- This is what I meant when I said "Democracy only works if voters take it seriously", I don't know how you deduced that I want everyone to vote the way I want them to.
For completeness - that's just one grid included in this viz, for the map of the different european grids see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_grid_of_Continenta...

(Russia is another big chunk of Europe but not included in the above map, though I think it may be the same grid with the Baltics)

For the question, measuring the flow of electricity is just normal power engineering, your home electricity meter does it as well. It's not so much the countries doing it though.
Frame flex of ti bikes is pure fantasy/placebo (at least on the vertical plane) on traditionnaly shaped frames.

Show HN: A Schema-First, Post Only Alternative to Restful API
Hello HN,

I am a fan of schema-first API design. I’ve always built APIs by writing Open API Spec by hand and generating server models and client SDKs to get E2E type safety across my server and clients.

Writing the spec by hand is a painful process, and setting up CI/CD pipelines or CLIs to run code generation can be time-consuming. So I decided to build a POST request-based, RPC-like, non-Restful API format that treats schema-first design as the first class citizen.

My vision is a web app that allows a team of developers to write API spec in the browser with automatic version control. The app would re-generate code every time there is a change in the spec right in the browser for developers to copy and paste into their editor instantly. It will also provide a way to publish the generated code to some package registry for installations.

I’ve built a POC to showcase editing the spec and generating code in the browser, and I’d love to invite you all to try it out and leave your feedback!
One observation I could make from the visualization is that major cities have very big power generation centers, despite that they seem to be drawing power from surrounding areas. It is very apparent near London. I guess it is obvious that bigger cities have more demand from both industrial and residential consumption.

One would be Karaul. It was partially evacuated but a group of locals was designated as group of Guinea pigs for testing. And remember, this dust traveled for many miles. This is the Steppe, so dust gets picked up and travels with little vegetation impeding it.

I did some work on structural editing a while back, using Tree-sitter to get the AST (abstract syntax tree, the parse tree used for structural edits). I now use the editor as my daily driver but don't use or feel the need for structural editing commands that often - probably partly out of habit and partly because text edits are just better for most editing.

I do miss the "wrap" command when using other editors, but it could be implemented reasonably easily without a parse tree. I found that a lot of the structural edits correspond to indentation levels anyway, but the parse tree definitely helps.

I think subsidies could help buying the technology, taking them out would be disastrous.

Farms, at least in Europe, are in the majority family owned. Same for those working in them, mostly those that are part of the family [1].

It's difficult being a farmer. You are much more at the will of nature than any other industry. Your effort takes a long time to bear fruit (think olives, for example, you do not have fruit for 4~years if you're lucky, and you don't want the oil from a younger tree (lesser phenols, etc...). You have to wait YEARS before you get anything to market. And, there have been many fires in southern Europe...).

All in all, it's indeed difficult to invest in machinery, new technology, etc...

> Why does it so often seem that the people complaining about censorship are the ones punching down?

You mean, pushing down and saying people should be banned... like you?
[Either people need to be banned who insult others and use slurs and those who maliciously push right up against the rules, or they will bully people out. Look at modern X/Twitter allowing hate speech has pushed out advertisers and something like half of the users?]

The fact is that you are just using the notion of 'paradox of tolerance' as a tool for defending your prefered kind of censorship, in the same mischievous way you say people use the notion of free speech "as a shield to hurt others". Is this or you are not being mischievious, so I think it would be polite to also admit the very probable possibility that those people claiming that their free speech is being violated may also have something to say on the topic, instead of just assuming they are being malicious and that they are "punching down" on others (or similar things).

Don't you think doing that would be more productive?
What’s your take on where Bsky will take “safety”?

I went straight from undergraduate into a PhD program and skipped the master's step. I was incredibly fortunate to find a supervisor who thought master's were a waste of time and was happy to state my undergraduate study was sufficient for him to take me on. That outlook and position saved me a tonne of money and a year of life.

I say this because he was damned right and wish more people would just say master's are not a requirement for pretty much anything. Prior to getting into a program "early," I was going to go do a master's just to be allowed to apply to PhD programs. The courses i was looking at offered me nothing but a badge. I found those who wanted to go do master's were, more often than not, just lost people who thought it was the natural 'next thing to do' after undergraduate study; like they were in a video game and the master's was the next harder level to beat.

The only good thing I've found worth doing a master's for is to retrain and specialize, but I find this is more reflective of having not really utilized your undergraduate degree than anything else. It's a welcome second chance, but gosh, it's a racket far too often. F anyone who thinks you need one to do anything.
It's (quite ironically!) an artifact of the social media culture itself: the shift towards increasingly unmoored, extreme language, disproportionate to whatever thing it's in response to. The effect of echo chambers both winding people up in agitation spirals, while tuning out influences that'd tend to tamp down the intensity.

Lets face it Redis Inc owns Redis trademark, same as it owned Redis software copyright and we should expect it will enforce it.

The community took steps launching several Redis alternatives, including Valkey - the next step would be also to get rid of trademark in the connectors

As there are number of vendors offering Redis compatible databases those days I think the best approach would be to come up with vendor neutral name for Redis protocol and when Redis, Valkey, DragonflyDB etc could be listed as supported products.

I've also just released a type safe, SQL-like parameterized TypeScript/JS ORM for SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL. I wrote it because I couldn't find any other ORMs with type-safe query builders where joined tables and column references are type checked against my data models to enable design-time type checking and safe refactoring.

It's also highly composable as SQL expressions can be embedded within SQL Builders which can themselves be embedded within other Query Builders.

Ask HN: Would you pay 500 USD for a "Deep Work" phone?
An Android phone with the following specs:
5.5 inch IPS Display ( 5.4" 12/13 mini as inspiration)
2G/3G/4G/5G ( we need all four for global compatibility)
Decent Mediatek processor ( that could handle daily apps for the next 5 - 6 years),5 years android version updates,
A decent front and back camera,
4000 mAh battery 15W charging (the intention is to keep it lightweight, slimmer, and for longevity)

"odhcpd-ipv6only" package is pre-installed along with "dnsmasq"

I routinely uninstall this combo and replace with "ohdcpd"

I prefer authoritative DNS operated by me over recursive resolvers operated by third parties so I prefer something like nsd (compiled with --enable-root-server) as opposed to dnsmasq

Personally, I have no need for IPv6 on the LAN but there is no "odhcpd-ipv4only" package
I’ve always wanted to build a self-optimizing system based on one armed bandit algorithms. Split testing tools are all the rage, but imagine using GenAI to come up with and automatically test variations of <form> submissions.

The ability to constantly change and backtest as your audience changes (because source traffic is a dynamic block more akin to a river than something static that we can test once for!) always sounded powerful.
I've been a split ergo keyboard user for many years now. Seen a lot of people decide to go from a traditional keyboard to a split ergo keyboard only to end up hating it.

This is too big of a jump to make in one go, and the sudden overhead in the amount of new information your mind and fingers need to get adjusted to ends up overwhelming a lot of people.

When you switch to a custom keyboard like the one you did. It's not just a split keyboard you're switching to, you also move to a smaller form factor that has lesser keys, and an ortholinear layout which has column stagger instead of row stagger. It's most effective to transition by gradually moving to the next form factor only after you're fully comfortable with the previous ones.

In your case, something like the Kinesis freestyle would have been a much better choice for you.
How would it break the package manager? In that case you would probably do one of the following:

- use a monorepo, where dependencies on libraries don't have versions, they are just relative paths

- the specified version is exact, if you want an update, you change the version dependency version constraint

- you have CI automatically update such dependencies to use the latest version.

- you don't use this versioning scheme for libraries

This doesn't seem newsworthy outside Korea. We see a lot of headlines like this - are they indicative of climate change?

There are twelve months in the year and at least four directions to report weather extremes (hottest, coldest, wettest, driest - there's also windiest and snowiest but let's lump them in with the other extremes). That's 50 chances per year for any given area to have its "most X month on record". Reliable weather records go back 100 years, give or take, so any place should experience its "most extreme month on record" approximately every two years.

There are 50 cities as big as 0.75 Seouls [0] or bigger. So worldwide, "megacity has 100-year weather event" comes up every two weeks.

Expand the number of weather axes, relax the definition of a megacity, or realise that many of these places only have 50 years of good record-keeping...pretty soon you can have this headline every two days.

I'm not trying to downplay climate change. I'm just saying you won't find it in these headlines. If you look at the number of places with the most extreme year on record, or model average air or sea temperatures over time, you can find more compelling evidence there.
