Actually this is a separate problem. If you look at the work of Jon Haidt who promotes the kinds of measures we're talking about here, it's only half the story. The other half is that we have become ridiculously overprotective in parenting in recent decades. Kids need independence and the ability to hang out and play with their peers away from direct adult supervision. The goal isn't to take away the internet and leave kids with nothing, it's to bring back the real-world contact and relationship-building.
When the price does increase, you'll know that there's a new CEO who's lost all connection to reality (in the same way that always happens when you put a person in front of an abstraction without obvious leaks).

For a glimpse at the _real_, human consequences of this kind of slipshod mentality toward money shuffling software see the Post Office scandal[1].

Anything that moves money should be treated with upmost seriousness and be aware of as many historical mistakes as possible.
Assuming your day rate was a multiple of 10, it can only have been a .3 or .6 repeater (or an integer), because dividing a multiple of 5 by 7.5 gives you an integer number of thirds.
> Did you miss the fact that X is a platform based on free speech?

How can you say this with a straight face? I am genuinely baffled by people who hold this view.

Just because you say that your platform is all about “free speech” doesn’t mean it is and there are clear actions that X/Elon took which go against that claim.

The primary of which being that posting “cisgender” gets your post flagged and demoted in the algorithm and that Elonjet was banned. How can you seriously claim free speech absolutism when there are direct examples showing the very opposite.
If I am not mistaken we had other depopulation events in history and we rebounded from it. Especially in the past where surviving the first years was far from guaranteed and nutrition levels and hardship frequently imposed a tax on women’s fertility. Combine this with lower life expectancies and we had the recipe for quite a few depopulation events.

The point is. There’s no much you can do if people don’t want to have kids. And this is probably generational, so you won’t change the mind of the current generations.

We will need to learn to live without it. Retirement while healthy and capable of work, will probably become a thing of the past.

Also, we will probably have to rethink compound interest and inheritance rights. Compound interest on investments require by necessity monotonically increasing economy outputs in the long run.
I am a big fan of Gleam language's Lustre[0], and due to its functional nature, the full stack experience is much better.

Instead of becoming this mishmash of backend and frontend, there's a clear delineation between the two. They share common functionality via functions (like model and views), which is much easier to do when they're pure.

You basically get the advantages of those magic frameworks without all the magic.

The house edge in craps is nearly even (0-2%) [1] for what I consider non-sucker bets. Don't pass is slightly better than pass, but again, gambling for me is consumption now. If I win great, but I already have a job. The point is to have fun and for me, no other gambling matches the dopa hit when someone is on a hot roll with a whole table cheering and making money.

You also reminded me of a work trip I had in Scottsdale around when poker had first taken off. Within one round of blinds I and a woman across from me had figured out we were the only ones who had a clue and we just stayed out of each others way. I showed up to a work meeting the next day on ~2 hours sleep after taking old business guys money all night (it would be fun to be in my early 20s again lol).

One potential way to do this would be to weigh the tires at sale and charge a tax based on the weight of the tire. When the tire is ultimately disposed of, a refund is issued based on the weight of the disposed tire.

This would encourage both avoiding tire wear and proper disposal of tires. That assumes obviously that people don't cheat the system by making tires heavier somehow when returning them.
Wow, there you go. This is quite the straightforwardly authoritarian statement, if followed through on (though I doubt you actually follow it through).

If some politicians and engineers wanted to lay train tracks down straight through the middle of a town, would the locals have a say in the matter, in your opinion? Or should they leave those decisions to the experts?

I do imagine you're not really serious though. To illustrate that - let's imagine for the sake of argument that Julian Assange (or Richard Stallman, or Kent Pitman, or whoever whose political opinions you might dislike) would code rings around you.

Would you suddenly take their opinion seriously? You wouldn't, if you didn't like them or their opinions. You'd come up with some other ad hoc reason why they could (and must!) be totally ignored. I mean, please correct me if I'm wrong here.

So why maintain the pretense that you're rejecting these people because they're not a part of the coding tribe, of which you're such a proud member and staunch representative?
This is my hash included in the best hash testing library out there "SMHasher3" maintained by Frank T Wojcik: https://gitlab.com/fwojcik/smhasher3

This test lib has many improvements over SMHasher 1 & 2, listed on the previous link. Results are: https://gitlab.com/fwojcik/smhasher3/-/blob/main/results/REA...

Rainbow is the fastest 128-bit hash, and the fastest 256-bit hash (non-crypto). The 8th fastest 64-bit hash (by family, or 9th fastest overall, and 13-th fatest overall if you include 32-bit hashes). The advantage of rainbow is its easily scalable output size (64, 128 and 256), its high quality (passes all the tests), and its utter simplicity: it is under 140 source lines of code, easily readable

The random constants are primes that were selected based on their avalanche quality under a multiply modulo operation. This part of the development was interesting different primes had very distinctly different avalanche qualities. The highest quality primes caused good avalanche (~ 50% bit flip probability) across the widest possible set of bits, on average. These are quite rare. A lot of large primes only avalanche across a narrow range of bits, even in a 128-bit space. The search program took a couple of days to discover all these primes running on a 2020s era MBP. Primes are chosen because they give a complete residue set under the modulus, ensuring a long cycle length at least regarding the nominal test operation.

The rest of the hash was developed by trial and error using my intuition on developing hashes arising from long experience of doing so, and using SMHasher3 to evaluate the results, by iterating to improve and re-testing, over a period of a couple of weeks in the holidays a few years ago. I started making hash functions in my teens as a fun hobby.

Afaik, the region which is now the DMZ was never industrialized. So this is a very special case with little toxic waste (other than the occasional landmine).
The OVH Eco-line (Kimsufi, So You Start..) are incredibly good and affordable. I have a few beefy servers, which I use to create my own VPS service on top of Proxmox. I'm not a sysadm and it's still simple to setup and maintain.

Eco is clever, because they reuse good hardware pieces to assemble new servers, instead of throwing out as garbage...

Have been a very happy user with several servers for quite some time.
Pumped hydro is great but it requires very specific topologies (you need a large lower reservoir or a high flow river below the dam to have water to pump back up), it’s even more rare than good hydro locations, and completely artificial PHS à la Taum Sauk county are nearly unique.

Worldwide, Switzerland is the main user and beneficiary of PHS relative to its electric capacity. Total it’s China, Japan, and the USA, they’re the only countries breaking 2 figures (in GW of generating capacity).

Trump doesn't care about that[0][1]. Canada is also a democratic nation and ally, European countries as well, why the hell are you thinking that is being considered on how tariffs are going to be applied by Trump when he's been pretty clear about it?

From [0]:

I simply don't understand how some Americans developed this wishful thinking projection on what Trump will do based on what they want to believe he will do.

He's been pretty clear about introducing tariffs unto big allies because he doesn't comprehend that trade deficit doesn't mean Americans are losing money...

> They can opt out, by not participating with the site

The definition of social media under the legislation is essentially any form of digital communication that allows two or more people to communicate, as decided by the minister.

> No one is mandated to use social media

OK, I'll bite. What if you want to join an interest group (crafts, technical, political etc) that organises meetings digitally on a social media site? Sure, you have the choice to not use a social media website, and if you do, in all likelihood not join your choice of interest group. The point is that Meta long used unfair and anti-competitive means to corner the market, and obviously not to interoperate so that it is difficult for people to leave. This might surprise you but the relationship between platforms and users is usually coerced and not really consensual. If you do not find yourself in this position, good for you. I'm a very firm believer that anti-competitive social media companies should be regulated in positive ways, like forcing interoperability and forcing companies to making algorithmic content opt-in.

> if you are on social media platforms with algo feeds, you are signalling that this works for you

Yeah except people are usually on those platforms for many reasons, like access to group chats and messages, as the platforms have a wide reach. A lot of people become outcasts by quitting social media, myself included, because our friends choose to continue to use it.
I imagine the problem they're trying to address is ensuring that everyone _does_ only use correctly cast pointers; as defined, it's legal to use that 14 char array, it's just that it's never what you're meant to do.

I don’t think the issue lies in using the same language to write the client & server. IME projects become brittle & hard to refactor when you use a full stack framework because you wind up writing a ton of controller code or a sprawling service layer to support different features for each page. This isn’t exclusive to using a framework, I’ve done the same thing with API endpoints in the past.

Making a general purpose API as if it were its own product seems to lead to better, more sustainable outcomes.
Ok, but how is that related to this auth library?
Aphantasia is really annoying to explain to people, like trying to explain blindness to a person who's always seen. I can't "see" anything, but I'm able to reason about it and kinda trace what I imagine with my eyes.

Interestingly enough, I have very lucid dreams and have realized that I am able to visualize (with color!) inside of them. I can't imagine being able to do that at will while awake, must be amazing.
Ah, the well loved trick of playing with statistics to make something look good.

The current carbon intensity per KWh in Germany is 526g, vs 50g for France.

The average yearly carbon intensity per KWh in Germany, is 354g.

So, either the rest 40% of domestically generated power are hyper-polluting, or the other statistics don't hold up.

Either way, with such a high carbon intensity, there is nothing to brag about.

And that's before entering the discussion about how the repercussions of the poor long-term German energy plan is currently killing their economy, and, indirectly, their social fabric.
I find it a bit weird that Gimp does not use the latest GTK (i.e. GTK4, which was considered stable since 2020), even though GTK originates in the Gimp project itself. It actually seems to be quite a bit behind: This is now the first release of Gimp which started to use GTK3, i.e. before, it even still used GTK2 (reached end-of-life in 2020)?
Looks exactly like plausible, may be change the ui a bit to avoid legal issues.
There is a small segment of parents who completely prevent their children from accessing these brainrot platforms. Usually these kids are in homeschool groups with other like-minded families, with no phones or screen time.

I often wonder if this cohort will be the future elite class, or if they will be so incompatible with their peers that they'll end up forming insular communities amongst themselves (like the Amish).

I've worked on a wide range of projects that use a number of different approaches to this. At the end of the day, you usually want at least some parts of it to some extent. If you don't want every page the user sees to be full of loading spinners at first, whatever is serving the initial HTML needs to know at least something about what the UI components are like and how to lay them out. In fact, the closer the initial load to the final result, the better. On the other hand, you also want interactivity, especially in this day and age. Very few web applications are just static data you look at and don't interact with. So you also need some frontend stuff that adds all of that magic. So all these frameworks are essentially trying to solve this problem, how do you get both of those things without just duplicating and syncing all of that code between the frontend and the backend. I do agree that many of the solutions we see today are immature, but when it's done right, it's wonderful.
Really looking forward to see more non-destructive editing. For me this has been one of the major reasons not to use GIMP in the past. The integration of GEGL is a huge milestone for GIMP imho.
You really should try reading them. I am not even scratching the surface. Just open up a book called “anti-oedipus” or “A Thousand Plateus” by Deleuze and Guattari.

The legislation is literally

> A provider of an age-restricted social media platform must take reasonable steps to prevent age-restricted users having accounts with the age-restricted social media platform.

It doesn’t specifically require them to collect IDs. However it does say the opposite and that the site can only collect government ID or a digital ID information if:

> the provider provides alternative means [not involving IDs] for an individual to assure the provider that the individual is
not an age-restricted user; and
(b) those means are reasonable in the circumstances.

I’m not going to argue that the legislation is perfect. But it doesn’t actually do what most opponents are accusing it of doing.
Show HN: I built an extension to contact Airbnb hosts direcly
Hey HN,

Over the years, I’ve found myself frustrated with the extra fees Airbnb. While they provide a lot of convenience, the service fees often stack up to a point where they overshadow any potential savings. I started wondering if there was a way to connect directly with property hosts and skip the middleman entirely.

That curiosity led me to build getaway.direct, a free Chrome extension that helps travelers save money. It works like this:

1. You browse listings on Airbnb.
2. The extension scans for direct booking links, host websites, or social media profiles where you can reach out to the host directly.
3. It shows those results instantly, so you can compare prices, avoid service fees, and book smarter.

The main idea is to provide transparency. A lot of hosts already have their own websites but rely on platforms like Airbnb for visibility. This tool helps surface those direct options, which can often save you 10-20% per booking.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

Would something like this be helpful to you?
Also, I’m curious to get feedback on ways to improve the tool—whether it’s adding more integrations, improving usability, or something else entirely.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think.

Crypto/Blockchain makes it harder to have an incorrect state. If you fk up, you need to take down the whole operation and reverse everything back to the block in question.

YouTube Music basically doesn't have an API. I wonder what the aversion to having an API is. I get that it might not be making any real money, so removing any APIs would be a cost saving.

Someone should do API music, you just get an API token and the API documentation. Having the ability to use something like old-school xmms with an API integration to a streaming service would be amazing.
True but the leap from GTK2 to GTK3 is a lot bigger than from GTK3 to GTK4. I'm not sure when the "port" to GTK3 started, but if it was from before GTK4 was a thing, it makes sense that they wanted to finish the GTK3 stuff first.
