I would like this to also help by rewriting the copy of app/SASS landing pages. So often I find myself bemused and frustrated by websites that don't communicate why I should be interested in their product. I.e. a description in simple terms about what's in it for me ? What are the benefits of the main features? How will this make my life better? (And also: why might this software be unsuitable for me?).
This is certainly not universal in the EU. And one of the main problems with this in the US is that you lose your health insurance when you lose your job.

You don't lose it in Germany when you lose your job, who pays for it changes though.
Cool. It's worth mentioning again, because it seems to not be quite as common knowledge as it should be, C has been deprecated by GO.
The most plug-and-play WLED-compatible controller I've found is made by athom.tech and available on AliExpress <https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101393719>. There are two versions based on the ESP32C3. One is powered by USB-C @ 5V, and the other has a barrel jack and passes through 5-24V to the lights, which is useful if you're using a higher-voltage strip like WS2813.

I used to build my own controllers from ESP development boards, but it's just not worth it when an enclosed controller with convenient connectors is priced between $10-20.

And ETH is the stock exchange of the 20's before all the regulations we have now that came about as a result of all the fraud back then.

> Because not everyone wants to pay for the same class of service.

You can still have choice for more service if you want even if there is a public option.

And even then, it's not like the current employment-tied plans really offer much choice. I either take the 1-2 plans my employer offers or I can go pay a fortune in the marketplace. Imagine if those 1-2 plans were not tied to employment, and if employers weren't expected to directly shoulder all that cost to have employees in the US
Why is makeup considered cheating but surgery not?
I welcome such tracking and surveillance.

It is too easy to get accused of something. And you have no evidence to defend yourself. If you keep video recording of your surroundings forever, you now have evidence. AI will make searching such records practical.

There were all sorts of safe guards to make such recordings unnecessary, such as due process. But those were practically eliminated. And people no longer have basic decency!
Neither, just enjoying myself either way.
It's not just that young people can't afford to have babies is that women in the 20-29 range are either studying or entering the work force.

These are extremely important years for career building.

It's more about the fact that young women are choose to build their education and career (like men do) rather than have children.
It's been my default browser for about a year. Most bugs have been fixed. Only twitter still crashes it.
It's not just for you. It's the most effective way. I know several people who all crushed college etc and only later realized maybe they aren't so smart, maybe they just stumbled into the right way(by an order of magnitude) to study... hell, I'd redo problems and find depth or nuance in the same problem that I didn't see the first time.
I'm not asking about whether the legal system will hold someone responsible. I'm asking whether they are culpable, ethically speaking. The whole "don't hate the player; hate the game" thing seems to just be a total abdication of responsibility. Of course incentives shape behavior, but saying that only the incentive structure is to blame serves the interests of no one but the sort of person who would do absolutely anything they can get away with that makes them a buck and then insist that it wasn't bad because someone else would've done it if they hadn't.

I ended up buying a couple strings of Twinkly lights a while back - after considering a diy solution. The mobile app has been solid and (assuming they didn't muck it up) there's are libraries out there for interfacing to them as well (over WiFi). The cost is not cheap but seems fair to me and seems to be well built. (The light mapping is pretty fun. You can zigzag a bunch of lights across a wall and basically create a low res display.)
In my experience it's just a case of knowing who to call and what to ask for. We are served by Spectrum. They will drop fiber into any building in their HFC service areas. We had it into an apartment building for several years then moved to another building with only coax, but they quoted me $2000 install for fiber. Problem for me is that the fiber service is symmetric and so to get the kind of download needed for Netflix you have to pay for 200M+ upload. That's quite expensive for me so I passed. They don't offer 95% billing.
You can buy a $100/mo business for $5k and learn on that while you still have a job
Just how is the U.S. healthcare system so broken that this can even be considered? It sounds like some dystopian fiction.
America is a land of inequality. There are many people (poor) which have bad healthcare, but for many others (the wealthy, stably employed), healthcare is excellent.

If you have a good job with a good PPO plan, this healthcare is just incredible. You are free to see any doctor you want, including specialists without any gatekeeping.

Want to see the best orthopedic surgeon in the world who just fixed Lebron James's knee? Make a call and get an appointment within a few weeks paying a 30 dollar fee. Want to see 10 more orthopedic surgeons to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions? Same process.

Decide to have a surgery? Sure! Sign up to have that done in a few weeks, eventually paying $250 out of pocket for the whole experience, including overnight hospital stays and physical therapy.

Having spent some good time hanging out in facebook groups for my condition with international patients, its pretty much always evident that they dont have this kind of freedom in picking their doctor, getting a surgery quickly, and also often lack cutting edge and modern treatments that are offered in the states.

I totally understand that this system is very unfair, and there is whole subset of people that have no access to care, but it should be noted that if you are in the top 50% of society financially, and especially if you have a difficult health condition you manage there is no healthcare system better in the world to do that then the USA.
Really interesting tool! Would love to see how it handles database integration patterns. We've been working with Astra DB in some projects, and having auto-generated documentation for different database access patterns would be super helpful for the team. Have you considered adding specific support for database architecture visualization?
I'm sure they were very worried about their patients.
Central point holds if you substitute “printer” for “VR goggles”.
I don't think most major players will want to get into the pornography game. It's far, far too fraught with ethical concerns to make it worth it. Musk has no such concerns, though. And I believe that also extends to revenge porn, which will be one of the biggest use cases for this tech at scale.

It's not sustainable for -either- side.

Both sides are aching (very badly) for this thing to be over, or at least taken off the stove.

One can quibble further as to the details -- which are a matter of metrics, wildcards, politics. And (as recent events have shown) there are still many cards to be played.

But that's the fundamental equation we need to keep in mind.

> This is meant primarily for Thai people

I didn't get that impression. Not written in or translated to Thai for one thing.

> there is also a history of foreigners making it very large in Thailand.

Many Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Singaporeans, sure, already wealthy before coming to Thailand, or well-connected. Can you name any foreigners (generally construed as Europeans, Americans, Australians by Thais, i.e. farang) since the post-colonial period in SE Asia? Jim Thompson comes to mind, but even he didn't make it very large by the standards of the Thai wealthy.
SQLite changed temp file prefix after McAfee users called devs to complain (2006)
SQLite's temp file prefix was originally "sqlite_" until McAfee's antivirus started creating temp files in Windows' `c:/temp` folder, frustrating users who then tracked down and called SQLite developers to complain. In response, the prefix was changed to "etilqs_" (SQLite reversed).
How is this not extremely inefficient to use? I guess you can use the "hints" as shown in https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/main/doc/img... but this is such a poor experience I can't fathom someone wanting this.

All browsers already support keyboard shortcuts for 90% of the common browser operations (next / previous page, focusing the address bar, etc.), and anything on the page itself seems like a massive chore (except scrolling, which browsers also support).
The vulnerability has nothing to do with bash. It’s a template injection in GitHub Actions, which bypasses the interpolation of any shell or interpreter.
Agreed. There's people on HN complaining about APIs like Web USB, but I never got why. You can ship a firmware flasher as a single .html file now! No sketchy native tools or messing around with the command line, and runs on pretty much any machine.

There are some tax effects as well. But, yeah, people don't really think of benefits as coming out their paychecks although they are, of course, at some level whether they personally would ever take advantage of them or not. A lot of cross-subsidies happen with benefits.
Orca are known to eat moose and caribou. If an orca was hungry and a human presented an opportunity, it might not end well for the human. Just because we have no evidence of humans being eaten by orca does not mean we're off the menu.

It's like the pop-sci adage that "sharks don't eat humans". It's a wildlife conservation meme that is just not true. While sharks evolved to predate certain classes of prey, they're also opportunistic. Even though our nutrient density and anatomical profile might not match a typical meal, sharks will still eat us. Tiger sharks are notorious for this.
It’s perfectly possible to think your coworkers are nice people and pleasant to be around/work with, while still feeling there are better uses of your precious time and (for many of us, limited) social energy than hanging out with them for purposes other than getting work done.
Things are not based on history anymore. It atleast as much as we might think. Russia just took a trip to Afghanistan to try build relations and encoporate a way to utilize Afghanistan. Historically this would make no sense since they have a bad history between each other out of all the countries in the region Afghanistan was the own Russia couldn't possess or influence in the past. That being said Russian lost many battles against Afghanistan against the very same government today "taliban".
I don't know what you are talking about, but I have lived in both the Netherlands and Germany and in both instances, you have a "choice" of insurance providers, but the list of services and the pricing is mandated by law. There is virtually no difference between being with one insurer compared to the other, except for whom will process your application and handle the money. In that respect it's just a bunch of useless added bureaucracy compared to an NHS-style system with just one country-wide insurer.
China has built 30,000 miles of high speed rails it doesn't need [1], going into $1 trillion of debt and other liabilities. Just keeping up with its debt requires $25 billion annually. Incidentally, Chinese local governments are now $11 trillion in debt [2], with all provinces except Shanghai in 2023 being positive on revenues. And now there are around 4000 ghost railway stations [3]

Actually, having a national service + private insurance is quite good. That's what the UK does (well, except the NHS is possibly going bust).

Because in principle the state insurer provides you with every service, just possibly not very well or in appropriate time, the private insurers have to compete with it and demonstrate some added value.

Ironically, as the NHS is going downhill, the insurers in the UK, IME, are getting Americanised too.

I feel this. The zero-sum pendulum of time is a bitch.

I wonder, are you under 35? This story reminds me of my experience. When I was younger, all the problems could be solved - all at once. I'd throw time at just about everything - cleaner code, fewer bugs, features delivered.

Later, the scope of what I was working on grew. No amount of time could be thrown at all the problems - it was zero sum. I had mentors try to guide me, to focus on solving what you need to, to focus on areas of impact and let the other things slide. If you don't, then the areas of impact never get done.

On the other side of the coin, the really frustrating part - is the bullshit processes you speak of. Time is zero sum. Yet, here was the team wasting time on another status meeting and time estimation; not getting the things done. Small quick wins, which do have impact, are not small quick wins because - did you fill out the TPS report regarding user impact? Did that get approval and story pointing? Is it a strategic initiative? No, then why are you working on it? Those are unhealthy orgs. Places like that I think are filled with folks that can't do the job and ride the coat tails of those that get shit done. These are also places where people want to go, clock in, and just not think that hard about their job - just do it and get home to their families.

Though, I've come to also appreciate that mentality too. I've never been a true owner at any place I've worked at. I've cared, I've been tricked into caring - but the long hours only went to enriching the person that had 1M shares, while I had just 2000. They were an owner, I was pawn.
Hearing again about whole Hawk Tuah fiasco I am starting to think that most people involved know that things are scams, but they just think they can beat the game and get in and out at right time...

It is kinda funny to see the cycle over and over again. I mean looking back to alt-coins(litecoin etc.) then ICOs then NFTs and now whatever they are doing again... I have not even kept track of most of it. All somehow generating money from somewhere... And then going down again.
The author is generalizing their preference here to say it's "right". Some brains need this, others need the abstraction before the examples provide the most benefit.

As noted by others this preference influences how one learns code effectively too. It's a pretty basic trait.

The author's stated preference is most common but it is not the only one.
You are on hn so let me ask you this: Are/were you a nerd? Did you play around with systems, use linux for fun etc.?

If yes, you just might be depressed or haven't realized that a job might be shit anyway.

If no, interesting though that you are aware of hn (i have to assume a certain interest because i know plenty of software people avg ones, not being aware of hn at all).

But hf at the navy.
I'm pretty sure it can't be the top 50% of society that has this, because that would mean it was average or even median. I expect it can probably start to happen from the top 25% up
You do call a routine stored in VGA ROM (interrupt 0x10) to set up the mode, then do some port I/O to configure VGA registers and then access VGA memory directly. No "system libraries" from DOS involved as such (they are needed for things like filesystem access, allocating memory and dealing with command-line arguments and returning to the system, though).

Borland's dev tools came with "BGI" (Borlands Graphics Interface), but that's not necessary and wasn't really used for many games -- it provides abstract high-level drawing routines, like lines, circles, etc... that can be made to work on different graphics devices (CGA, VGA, ...). This was not necessary for direct graphics card access that most games used.

As an outsider what I see is that Trump claimed to stand for change, while the Democrats seemed to champion the status quo.

Just the fact Biden promised to run for one term, then they lied about him not being senile, then Harris was anointed saying she'll basically be Biden, and don't you dare not go along because Trump is the end of democracy - that is just incredibly astonishing to me. And people wonder why that didn't work out? To me that's like talking about why this car with perfectly good tires hasn't won the race, when it has no engine and no driver and it's not even on the racing track but at the bottom on the ocean. With perfectly good tires admittedly, which pundits are examining with microscopes.

From what I can tell all they ever offered is playing for time and rationalizations for why the boat should not be rocked, preaching to people who are treading water, who will never be in that boat. Basically "we're so proud of our achievements and excited to face even greater challenges with you" -- whereas Trump was screaming about making "them" pay and flipping tables. And even though "they" are a scapegoat, and even though he'll make it (so much) worse, at least the anger is something people vaguely recognize, whereas what came from the Democrats is mostly alien and alienating ivory tower talk.

At the end of the day, I think the US needs at least one more major party. Two sides hiding all their own flaws behind the other is just unworkable. It makes people incredibly lazy intellectually.

If you’re an American and an engineer, how did you pick up work when needed internationally? I consider this, I’m a security engineer, but I haven’t had much progress considering how to pull it off, if not having an established consultancy.

It's a standalone program, and you can absolutely use vim keybindings! Not locked to emacs in any way.

Out of the box it is ready to do vim keybindings, emacs keybindings, or CUA style keybindings. How practical, wouldn't you say? :)
Looking at your posting history, you shouldn't be telling others how to spend their time on the internet.
Horrifying. But also horrifying that treatment costs so much. Supposedly we have to let drug companies charge extravagant prices because it costs so much to discover new treatments, but there has to be a great deal of inefficiency there. Are we getting a 99% solution for $X when we could be getting a 95% solution for $X/10?

> "...an end user is not even awake 24 hours a day..."

Sorry, I wasn't thinking about the end user literally pushing a button. I was reading into the discussion here what I imagined to be a gap in the overall design philosophy of RSS where the end-user, using their own app or preferred methods, poll all of their favorite websites selecting among common defaults (Select the frequency you like to poll this RSS feed: weekly? daily? hourly? hehe minutely? secondly?).

In this scenario the user doesn't need to be awake 24 hours a day. They just need to use software which stupidly hits someone's server like they're doing a denial of service attack. As your comment alludes no one needs to be that up-to-date.

In contrast, there was another solution: "...service that polls RSS on behalf of its users."

Again, reading the discussion I imagined the wild west of the internet has inexpert users choosing unsane defaults and overloading small self-hosting content providers. Compared to third-party aggregators who are trying to make money by solving a "Tragedy of the Commons" problem.
That’s the second clause. Anything after 50 years ago interferes with the environment. Even returning things to before that time interferes with the environment. That’s the cutoff date I’m afraid.
It seems that something like "they've trashed their economy" would have been a better choice of words.

But -- "destroyed"? What's that supposed to mean? What purpose is served by the use of such hyperbolic language?

In this case, doesn't the injustice work for Alphabet (not that that's just)?

The emotion part of your comment is just the love and the discomfort in the struggle, not the struggle itself nor any of the particular details.
When people are working on things like this where I don't understand what it is used for, I tend to run towards it and find out as much as I can.

It is easy enough to just google zk usecase and find all sorts of various applications. None may apply to _you_, but that doesn't mean it is not meaningful for _others_.
I mostly agree with you, however one could argue that character strings aren’t atomic as well. They are sequences (“arrays”, if you will) of characters, and query operators like LIKE demonstrate that strings aren’t just used as opaque values. You could in principle normalize character strings into a String table with columns “string ID”, “character position”, and “character value”. Somewhat similarly, types like DATETIME and INTERVAL can be regarded as non-atomic.

Whether a database column has a composite type is a trade-off regarding performance, storage requirements, and needing special operators for queries to work on the substructure of a composite value.
Often times that is true. Most people dont end up in jail, with medial debt, and reliant social services, ect.
