> Perhaps in a few years Hyperbola will reach its final, perfect state

There's still a long way to go. The elephant in the room, prudently sidestepped by the hyperbola community, is the removal of dynamic linking. Now that would be a great, but difficult, brave choice. Most of the other removals (except the removal of dbus, which is mind-boggingly awesome) are fairly isolated stuff.

Fortunately, they are steadily taking steps in the right direction!
No. Hitler was designed by the bourgeois president Paul von Hindenburg (his party would the right wing of the US democrats) as chancellor,to 'stabilize' the country.

The previous election saw the Nazi party voting share go down to 33% from 37% the previous vote, and the communist gain 3%, for a total of almost 17. The 'center' was also shocked by a transport strike, and choose to support Hitler as chancellor. The following election the Nazi did 43%, and decided it was enough to take full control.

The communist and socialist constantly fighting (probably organised by the USSR) made liberals the only dam again the Nazis, and it was quite frail.
Because of react ?
Okay but who uses a tv for cable news or any of that?

I want to put youtube channels on it while cooking in the kitchen, or play video games on it. Does anyone actually watch "TV" tv anymore? Isn't it mostly streaming services?

So...not as you read.

It sounds like you claim to read fast, but then have to take extra time to digest, so if we add your digesting time to your reading time and count that total as reading time period, it's not actually that fast at all.
Might as well just make session and cookie variables illegal, since persisting any kind of state may be able to be misused.
It is more related to sick leave and general scarcity of teachers. I guess before the existence of timetable apps they were better in finding creative ways around those changes.
Honestly, most of those seem like strong marks in favor of Hyperbola! :)

Now I'm wondering how easy it is to keep it automatically updated/maintained and how often config or packages break during upgrade.
I’ve been very happy with my Sony in this regard. Its OS is extremely basic Android TV and it doesn’t bug you at all if you don’t connect it to the internet. Newer models than the one I have also come with a “basic TV” mode that disables most of the Android TV bells and whistles.

Yeah Sony means a higher price, so it’s not going to be as cheap as some other options, but peace is worth a lot of money in my opinion…
Very neat and creative approach but I'm honestly conflicted whether the country/map metaphor is the best choice. In many cases the names are not that clear, so one has to zoom in to understand what they represent. It would perhaps be more interesting to do hierarchical clustering and show something like average connectiveness between the (super)clusters with lines, possibly with more descriptive/faithful LLM-generated labels for each cluster.

I'm genuinely fascinated by this topic. Looking back, I realize that if I’d had the right advice and people around me in my business, I’d be significantly wealthier today. With the rise of autonomous agents and AI for strategic decision-making, do you think it's possible to bridge that gap? And if so, how far away are we from this becoming a reality?

Now I'm really curious, doesn't that mean some valid C++ code would fail to link for having multiple definitions of the same symbol??

I would expect name mangling to be a bijection from function prototype to string.

7 years of storage in an environment controlled by SOX. There is no requirement that the storage be online or accessible by the originating user, and in most cases, there's good reason to specifically avoid this. As a result it's not as bad as you'd think.
I wish people would stop regurgitating this obvious lie. You can’t walk 3 feet without bumping in to something that is better for you because of regulation.

My motorcycle has a rev limiter for a reason. If you let the motor run wide open it will fail catastrophically. Economies are no different.

If you think regulation doesn’t work then you’re simply ignorant of how even basic parts of your daily life work.

> From perspective, they waste many times more than the DoD spends. I don’t think they’ll get anywhere with it, but they’re very serious.

It's extremely difficult to take anyone who suggests introducing a profit margin to reduce waste as acting serious. (I realize you were probably indicating they weren't bluffing; just saying.) Plus, they can account for their spending and the DOD cannot.
The app or the website, right?

If this is your blog please add "Show HN: " to the title here.
Waste and inefficient spending in the DoD sphere is incredibly difficult to tackle. The article highlights two anecdotes/situations that are shared by the DoD and wider federal enterprise - that knowledge and power is generally actually incredibly diffuse across an organization, and therefore all changes require touching and gaining approval through a monstrous about of stakeholders, and that vendors can be giant dicks.

DoD challenges are compounded by being tasked to do relatively unique things for the American public. What is a reasonable price to pay for a training exercise where Marines actually get to deploy a anti ship missile battery onto a lonely Pacific Island? Is the incremental cost of 3 versus 2 of these exercises a year worth while? Valuing many of things the military does, both in terms of what their positive value is, as well as what their costs -should- be is difficult, since we have so little analogous scenarios to draw on.

Without confident and broadly consensus (or at least with sufficient top level cover and firepower) valuations on benefits and costs, any attempt to reduce spending just slams into resistance (both truly well meaning, as well as reflexive and self-serving).

Another major DoD challenge is that outside of the IT field, the DoD asks for industrial competency and competitiveness that frankly the overall US industrial base looks to barely be able to meet. And so not only is it inflicted by vendors acting like dicks, they're inflicted by incompetent vendors acting like dicks.
The entity with more integration had more power than the one without.

It's sort of why we have anti monopoly laws on the books.

It's not to penalize successful people it's to prevent their largess from becoming a financial bloodclot within their industry.

Can anyone help me make an e-ink laptop? Is there a rake on my lawn?
I think this is ultimately a pretty simple project, ~$3000 and some soldering/bios-ing.

The plan is to buy these:

- https://www.eink.com/product/detail/EC133UJ1

- https://shopkits.eink.com/en/product/detail/CONCERTODrivingBoard

- https://www.costco.com/macbook-pro-13.3-inch-%E2%80%93-apple-m2-chip-8-core-cpu%252C-10-core-gpu-%E2%80%93-256gb-ssd-.product.100806152.html

And hire someone to help me write a display driver that supports partial updates similar to the DASUNG’s 25” monitor. Can any embedded engineers weigh in on how big of an ask that display driver would be?

Is there a rake on my lawn? I have flashed cards before to hack a GoPro 8, soldered on breadboards, and partitioned drives, but always as a hobbyist, never professionally; and the dream here is to have an end product that I can use professionally.

Update/Edit: Useful feedback from replies:

- 1. The age of Thinkpad Hackintoshes is sunsetting, and the chips that support it are getting long in the tooth. You can't buy recent Intel chips and expect them to work flawlessly, and the laptops old enough to work are slow and hot.

- 2. the limitations and quirks in changing e-ink pixels are enough that regular laptop software would make for a bad user experience.
So you'd spend a lot of time creating workarounds like a a separate LCD line-display showing what characters someone is typing until they hit enter, etc.

- 3. You could find a properly sized USB-C based eink screen and do some very tricky rewiring and not mess with macOS software at all

- 4. Alternatively: consider finding one of these on Ebay if you can for an "official" E-ink Thinkpad: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkbook/thinkbook-plus/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-gen-4-13-inch-intel/len101b0031

And my responses:

(1) This was my primary concern, thank you. I’ll update OP with new plan accordingly—Buy a 13” M2 MacBook and get help writing a display driver

(2) IMO the limitation is no longer in the display; DASUNG’s 25” monitor satisfies my display needs perfectly, my itch is/would be scratched successfully by cramming the 13” version of that Kaliedo 3 screen into a 13” MacBook. I know it can be done in theory because this is exactly how I used the DASUNG 25” monitor—it was just HDMI’d to the MacBook, and #justworked. I’m trying to figure out how I would do it in practice though, and assuming there’s more steps involved when buying the display/driver chip and soldering them in.

(3) yes you’re understanding my intent perfectly, but the only plug-and-play screen I’ve been able to find is [B&W only](https://www.amazon.com/DASUNG-Paper-Front-Light-Touch-Monitor/dp/B09VLDK58C/), and I’d like to support color.

(4) This is very likely the best idea. In my perfect world though I’m running OSX to support iMessage, etc. Maybe this is my sign to get off of iPhone though; there are many phone-sized e-ink devices running android that I could start building on. My general theory of useability is that A4 paper and 3x5 index cards were popular before computers for a reason, and one of each of those sizes as an e-ink screen is the longer-term ideal.
Elliott Wave Theory one of the most used/followed technical market tools posits that price movements are determined by social mood and not by news. So it should be hard to win based on front page fundamentals. That said I came through the game with a 50% profit overall by mostly going long stocks and long bonds with consistent 5x leverage. If you have a winning edge then you can use Kelly betting to size bets and maximize gains, but it's easy to overbet and go bust. One approach is to increase leverage after a win and reduce it after a loss, and you end up near the optimum leverage.

I think it's the other way around. The similarity metric determines which repos have edges (possibly weighted?)

And then some clustering algorithm makes sense of this giant graph by laying out sets of nodes that have a lot of edges to each other, close to each other

The closeness is just layout, the edges is the data structure that determines closeness.

In 1947, the US congress attempted exactly the same thing with the National Security Act of 1947. There were inter-service rivalries during WW2 that needed to be addressed.

A regular seasonal flu vaccine is likely better than nothing, likely thanks to similarity in the neuramidase protein (the N1 of both H1N1 in the seasonal vaccine and in the H5N1 bird flu). These aren't the same N1, from what I gather, but are mostly similar enough.

I’m sorry what? Clickhouse is crazy easy to deploy. Single node is just a binary. “Cluster” is single binaries on individual nodes plus clickhouse-keeper (the one extra layer of complexity). Altinity and others offer k8s operators or managed solutions to do all this on-prem to make it even easier.

Amusingly enough, if you buy a Visio, reject the agreement during setup - it turns into a dumb TV.

Usually I am against one-liners like yours, but in this case I really think this is the only response. DOGE is a lobby group with no plan and therefore no prospects of success. There isn't much to talk about. The Republicans have been disingenuous about any efficiency or economic reform for my entire lifetime and even assuming Trump & Co are serious I doubt they have the numbers to get Congressional support for big reform, so there will be at most small incremental changes that will probably be rolled back in a few years.

I'd like to be wrong, but if there is anything here I don't see it. It is going to take a lot more than buzz and conversation to handle the unmanageable pork-barrelling beast that is the US bureaucracy.

I think the key is to have a solid understanding that this is throwaway code.

I know of, erm, one quite company, fairly well known in its big industry, where indeed no one gathers any requirements and a junior guy is told to type it all in - with the view that it's probably 90% correct and the rest can be ironed out at some stage, or at worst rewritten.

But what tends to happen is thus:

1. The first draft tends to address all the wrong problems, doesn't abstract the right things, is over and under engineered in all the wrong places. Fine, it's a draft I guess

2. But here's the kicker: unless it's really unusable, there is now pressure on users to accept the draft, because changing it, perhaps substantially, requires work, and as it it sort of kind of works, if you squint. And this thing is there and you can pretend it's a job done.

I think ploughing in to writing code works if you ha r a decent idea of what you need to achieve and what the pinch points are. Without that it can be quite an expensive and frustrating approach.

I work for a FAANG, and I really like it so far. I spent the first 10 years of my career working at shitty non scale up startups, the next ten years in and out of big companies and (somewhat unsuccessful) scaleups, and I'm enjoying the challenges of working on a big cloud computing platform.

I've never minded working with old legacy code and tangly messes, and there's a lot less (definitely not zero!) bullshit at a FAANG.
I like Spark a lot. When I was doing a lot of data work, DataBricks was a great tool for a team that wasn’t elbow deep into data engineering to be able to get a lot of stuff done.

DuckDB is fantastic, though. I’ve never really built big data streaming situations so I can really accomplish anything I’ve needed with DuckDB. I’m not sure about building full data pipelines with it. Any time I’ve tried, it feels a little “duck-tapey” but the ecosystem has matured tremendously in the past couple years.

Polars never got a lot of love from me, though I love what they’re doing. I used to do a lot of work in pandas and python but I kind of moved onto greener pastures. I really just prefer any kind of ETL work in SQL.

Compute was kind of always secondary to developer experience for me. It kills me to say this but my favorite tool for data exploration is still PowerBI. If I have a strange CSV it’s tough to beat dragging it into a BI tool and exploring it that way. I’d love something like DuckDB Harlequin but for BI / Data Visualization. I don’t really love all the SaaS BI platforms I’ve explored. I did really like Plotly.

Totally open to hearing other folks’ experiences or suggestions. Nothing here is an indictment of any particular tool, just my own ADD and the pressure of needing to ship.
Good points. However unlocking the phone in the morning puts my son on the wrong track: you would be surprised how much time one can spend checking animated gifs by using any text field that will inevitably be unlocked as well.

Of course I will take full responsibility in case of bugs... So far it didn't happen.
Good to know that it's not an issue in your case but just a reminder that your specific case is, by definition, not generalizable. These are problems that exist in general and have to be solved or prevented in some way. For example, you found some solutions that work for you but they won't for everyone.

They could spend the same time and effort arranging blank slides creating the exact same thing without the pictures, and it would have far less value

The value does not come only from the arrangement of the pieces, but also from the pieces themselves. To say the only value comes from the artist is just as wrong as saying its only value comes from the source material.

A painter cannot paint a picture without a canvas, and yet the canvas itself is generally not free, with the canvas-maker earning something from the sale of the canvas itself.

The rest of your comment is wildly condescending, and while I am open to reconsidering my beliefs, I generally do not follow the advice of condescending people. My life experience tells me such people are generally both more close-minded and more morally bankrupt than those who can evangelize their beliefs without condescension. Perhaps consider changing your approach to providing unsolicited advice?
