are you mental? terminal on os x used to be objectively shite, with horrendous latency. that is enough to discourage people for life.
I love this, I did something like that with made-up-italian-sounding words a while ago (you used to be able to find my site if you looked for FANTACHIAVE).

It's a bit like fake roads on map databases)
Blue water sailing is pretty great (for some), give it a try.
That’s never how it’s been described to me. That’s always been known to me as FI/RE or just being rich. FUM is simply the ability to walk away from a job and be very picky about where you work.
ledragonx windebloat tools my friend, your life will become much better. it strips out sooooooooooo much adware. It's like every service in windows from MS, dozens of them, all has telemetry. WHen it runs it's like getting a colonic and you think to yourself "wow, all that was in there?!?"
Came here to post this and am happy to see that's already been done.
I'm sorry, I've read this multiple times and I still don't understand how you're reaching the conclusion that lawmakers in 1996 would have intended ISPs to be considered basic telecommunication service providers as opposed to "information services" given the Telecommunications Act rubric.

But I also think everyone on this thread has laid out their cases in enough detail that we're mostly moving in circles now.
It was indeed, and I went through an incredible range of bizarre alternative keyboards (vertical keyboards, DataHands, etc), but the simple fix ended up being the timer apps mentioned, along with a very standard MS ergonomic keyboard.
Hey,

You are talking about money.
You are talking about girlfriend.
You always think about possessing.

If you are fishing for some suggestions I’d first find a good personal trainer and fix the body. At the same time join a career change counseling group workshop.

Don’t let others do things for you. Walk everywhere, use a bicycle. Also cooking kills some time.

Good luck
> the poster here has some sort of savior complex

It seems to be a problem with motivation and meaningfulness, not necessarily that he wants to save anyone. Or anything.
Divide and conquer is suboptimal, esp. with so many polygons. You just had luck.

You'd need to sweep over all polygons at once, checking each intersection, and there the angles. This requires some ad hoc preparation. Log(n) instead of exponential. A modified Graham scan or Bentley - Ottoman scan.
> I don't think it's inconvenient enough to type `ssh -i key_file name@host` that we need to be creating more security risk to skip typing it.

Also, you can easily configure that in your .ssh/config file, even with different options per host or group of hosts.
> in a way that would leave government services unaffected

I’m not sure what “unaffected” means. Do you mean from the end user perspective? Or government employee perspective?

I think people underestimate the overhead associated with many government services. Even thing like social security disability have 30-40% of the money not going to the recipient, it’s going to the administration.

If you were able to improve social security administration efficiency (benefit validation, denial appeal, check mailing costs) by just 10%, you just reduced social the federal budget by a few percentage points. That’s huge.

My own experience with government services is that significant efficiencies could be squeezed out and keep the end user service the same (or better?).
There's some minor things that iTerm2 does that I like:

You can hold down command and click URLs to open them. (You can actually kinda do this in Terminal.app as well by right-clicking a URL and choosing to open it, but it's a bit fiddlier, and I got used to the hover feedback in iTerm2.)

You can click to highlight entire blocks of output from commands, which I sometimes find handy when things feel like they're blending together.

It'll keep a floating copy of the previous command prompt at the top of the screen so you can see what led to whatever output is currently at the top.

None of these are essential, for sure.
It makes people angry because it is true.

When I got the job selling an insanely inferior version of the product I couldn't sell the formula was this, sit down and listen...

They had 40 different registered businesses all selling the same software but with a different name to protect the guilty. A modest size call center divided into 40 groups. Each prospect would get at least 40 calls but more often something towards 120. Pricing started high then gradually lowered with a few "errors" so that the prospect could say they got a call 2 days ago and they only charged x. "Ohh, that cheap???" Etc

It worked, people got really angry 30 to 80 calls in and they purchased from the "other" company.
Phone off maybe. Android still uses Wifi when Wifi is turned off, as part of it's location tracking service. I loathe it. Btw if you toggle location off enough times, Android will eventually stop nagging you about it.

Let me use my device the way I want you f--- creeps!

> Well that’s the center of the issue, right? OP’s interpretation was that PostgreSQL did not document such, and so it shouldn’t be relied upon.

And the correct answer is…we don’t know. We have a commit that landed and the explanation of the commit; we don’t have the documentation for the corresponding release of Postgres, because…it doesn’t exist yet. Because monoticity is an important feature for UUIDv7, it would be very odd if Postgres used an implementation that took the extra effort to use a nanosecond-level time value as the high-order portion of the variant part of the UUID instead of the minimum millisecond-level time, but not document that, but any assumption about what will be the documented, reliable-going-forward advertised feature is speculative until the documentation exists and is finalized.

OTOH, its perfectly fine to talk about what the implementation allows now, because that kind of thing is important to the decision about what should be documented and committed to going forward.
I'm not sure whether this is exactly what you mean, but when you need to support deletions you can switch to a "generational" collection like Slab or SlotMap. Your indexes are still integers, but under the covers some of the bits get repurposed to disambiguate new elements that reuse old slots.
I don't even understand the point of this. Either you're too young to even understand what porn is, or you're old enough to view it. There is, to me, no age where a minor is old enough to desire pornographic content but not old enough to not be scarred by it.

What are teenagers, a demographic with an insatiable appetite for sexual gratification, even supposed to do? My grandpa was probably wanking it to a Macy's catalogue as a teenager. Denying or trying to suppress it is not gonna have the outcomes people want.
It's incredibly easy to be misunderstood on HN. "No SNI" just means the URL is a way to retrieve the submitted page without using SNI.
The sorting functionality seems to be broken.
There was a founder in a similar situation who sold their company (Tsheets to Intuit) for $300m as part of an acquisition and checked out after. Employees say he lost his purpose and became unmoored, with no grounded next steps for years. He ended up attempting to kill his wife and killed himself.

How to do versioning for an online video with the same URL?
Can anyone share their ways of versioning their videos on the Internet? It's for promotion or marketing in an iterative way with "the same URL." YouTube can't do this, can it? Maybe some people would also like to publish their video content iteratively with the same URL.

With version number links, so watchers can trace and cite different versions.
I think the main issue, is that most people are reluctant to ask a friend for a loan because its considered in poor taste. If they are asking they either have no qalms about asking which is a red flag, or they are super desperate which probably means its unlikely they would have the ability to pay back.

Good lord - No its not a rounding error. How did you even get that ? Here is the cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers:

https://budget.house.gov/download/the-cost-of-illegal-immigr...

It is ~42 billion for welfame, $70 billion USD for schooling, $7.5 billion for the uninsured, etc, totaling to around ~150 billion. This is also around the figure confirmed by DOGE.

It would be nice if you can refute the data on facts.
It’s because I am posting lower effort content here than on TikTok.

> Make code snippets copy/pasteable

Naw, copying and pasting won't develop touch typing nor muscle memory skills. The prompt is sort of a context indicator for the command, as other comments indicate. Also if you're using one of those horrid browsers with CSS support who knows if there are characters that do not display but are included in what is copied. Security risk? Well, you started a chonky browser with a bad security record, so uh additional security risk. Also they probably should be able to type out the commands by hand at the speed of thought, or the commands should be put into a Makefile or script or done via configuration management. Making it easy to copy and paste? Well, if you want to train people to mindlessly copy-n-paste who knows what to who knows where, I guess. Doesn't sound like that would train people to engage deeply with the material. If there's a bigger code example I just put a "=> foo.lisp" link '(this is for Gemini (no, not the Google whatever nonesense (McCarthy invented AI to get money)), the modern web being too much yuck these days) so they can download the whole file.

> Use long versions of command-line flags

What are these? I'm on OpenBSD. More seriously, long flags may or may not help±quick! what does --fake-super for rsync(1) do?—and taking a peek into the manual (another reason I'm on OpenBSD) is sort of a spaced repetition to refresh you on what the flag does, and maybe to scan the list of options to see if anything new jumps out at you (or, at a certain age, what you've forgotten). Close engagement with the material (howeversomuch the learner hates this, as such brain exercise uses up precious energy) is probably a good thing.

(Yes, I know that OpenBSD supports but generally does not document various wacky --from-backside-of-gnu flags.)

> Teach one thing

I am too fond of puns (and have ulterior motives, given the excess of car sitting in America, and the consequent loss of blood to the brain) to apply this in any meaningful way.
Having control over a domain name doesn't mean all that much when the data hosted on it can be hijacked or held hostage at any point.

And they are paid for the common carrier service. If they want to be able to slow down some sites - basically it is an editorial action by making some content less available or even de-facto non-available - they should lose the common carrier status with all the consequences of it.
The “time part” is actually two different parts: the required millisecond-level ordering and the optional use of part of rand_a (which postgres does) to provide higher-resolution (nanosecond, in the postgres case) time ordering when combined with the required portion.

So, no, the “time part” of the postgres implementation is, in part, one of the options discussed in the spec, not merely the “time part” required in the spec.
To be fair, he was not calling people at Loom NPCs. He was saying that he didn't feel like joining a big company Atlassian coz he feels he would be surrounded by "NPC coworkers" there.
The point of the extra bits is to allow the application developer to keep monotonicity in the "not very exotic occurrence" scenario. The purpose is to be monotonic. I feel like you are missing the core concept.
Funny you'd accuse me of a straw man then go on about claims I never made.

Nothing has changed yet. No plans have been rolled out.

We could wait and see what the plan is before claiming it's a failure already?
Bro has all the spare time to try and build AGI. That's software with datq acquisition and stored procedures.
I would do that.
Be Gatsby and host extravagant parties to hide your loneliness. At least that's what I'd do.
Apple settled because they knew they would lose. Winning is good PR since they (falsely) claim to be favorable for privacy. They are only superficially better than Google in that regard. I did skim your article and it's not as bad as I thought. I think you really mean it when you say these are just coincidences. But they're not.

Another one I forgot to mention: Google explicitly tracks your location history unless you turn it off, and you'd be foolish to think that they won't (or couldn't) save the data anyway. People have done experiments showing dramatic improvements in battery life using AOSP without Google telemetry and spyware.
> Some things don't change though. You need to find customers before you find (ie build) product. Ideally you get a deposit before you start writing. Getting customers is harder than writing code, so do that first.

To add to this, there's always a catch 22 problem - how can I show something to customers to sell to, when I don't even have a product to sell? It's expected in a sales meeting or often any meeting, that you have a demo that would show your product concept for them.

I can't state this enough, but literally build on the shoulders of giants. Build on existing tools, and I don't mean open source, but existing products. Best advice I got from watching one of those AI fad-chasing YouTubers. Is it an online store idea? Build on Shopify first. Is it a chatbot? Use KoreAI or DialogCX. Is it a CRUD app? Use Glide + Google Sheets. Customer Service? Maybe they just need a Hubspot/Zendesk with some custom integrations.

Most customers are looking to buy a functionality, not a "product" . Oftentimes your MVP will be enough to carry them for a long time. You wouldn't even need to write a single line of code yourself for quite a bit of time.

Like you said, the hard part is actually meeting the potential prospect and ensuring that they will pay you for the product. In my (very limited) experience, I've had 60k-employee billion dollar companies outright refuse to buy (instead hiring 2000 underpaid fresh graduates in India to build a worse product), while a 250-employee million dollar company being super-enthusiastic about paying a premium price for it (even though they have their own dev team). If I had gone by the views of the billion dollar company, I wouldn't have found a market niche for my product, but fortunately I stubbed my toe (literally!) and found the actual customer instead.
If the stock terminal app supported more colors (idk what the official term is lol) I’d be fine using it. I don’t use any fancy iterm features anyway. Fish + zellij is all I need!
Ha, guilty as charged, I used the github profile that I had from my previous two companies to give stars to some of my favourite repos on my personal account.
not a typescript dev here: what do you use instead of console.log for debugging?
What experiment? The irony of your comment on intelligent people is not lost on me.
Windows terminal is great. Very performant and looks really nice. I also have mobaxterm for doing work remote machines, but for local work using WSL Ubuntu it’s my preferred terminal by far.
These things are not monetizable but are foundational to monetizations. It's like office ceiling lights. You might as well forgo buildings and gather naked employees with laptops in parking lots from such perspective.

> Again, please stop putting words in my mouth.

Not everything in a comment in a thread on HN is about the comment that immediately preceded it. This particular subthread has featured the so-called DOGE quite significantly, and that is how we've ended up talking about efficiency, waste, improvements. DOGE is the embodiment of the claim I'm describing, and that's not directly related to anything you've said.
Great to see. OLMo, from AI2, is just about the only real open source model. It is open everything. Training data, training code, post processing, all of it.
:) I have in fact done that.
It sounds like they use console.log, but they don't let it ship in their production code.
I think the source of the contrary sentiment goes something like this: AI stuff (especially image generation) is competition for artists. They don't much like competition that can easily undercut them on price, so they want to veto it somehow and lean on their go-to of accusing anybody who competes with them of theft.

The problem in this case is that it doesn't matter. The AI stuff is going to exist, and compete with them, whether the AI companies have to pay some pittance for training data or not.

But the chorus is made worse by two major factors.

First, many of the AI companies themselves are closed-source profiteers. "OpenAI" stepping all over themselves to be the opposite of their own name etc. If all the models got trained and then published, people would be much more inclined to say "oh, this is neat, I can use this myself and it knows my own work". But when you have companies hoovering everything up for free and then trying to keep the result proprietary, they look like scumbags and that pisses people off.

Second, then you get other opportunistic scumbags who try to turn that legitimate ire into their own profit by claiming that training for free should be prohibited so that only proprietary models can be created.

Whereas the solution you actually want is that anybody can train a model on public data but then they have to publish the model/weights. Which is probably not going to happen because in practice the law is likely to end up being what favors one of the scumbags.
Things can have value without the need to bring money into the equation.
My reaction:

"If scanning for wifi has that much negative impact on my connection, the OS should by default pop up a toast notification when it happens without a user request to do so."

If MS can put slop like news and weather and ads for apps like Candy Crush into the Windows GUI, they can also give me useful info like that.
Hi HN,
I've been developing NeatShift, a Windows application designed to help users organize their files and folders seamlessly using symbolic links. The aim is to declutter storage without disrupting file accessibility.

Key Features:

Smart Moving: Relocate files while NeatShift creates symbolic links to maintain system functionality.

Safety Measures: Options for quick backups with NeatSaves and system restore points to ensure data integrity.

Integrated File Explorer: Modern interface with drag-and-drop support, customizable views, and both light and dark themes.

Link Management: Easily view and manage all symbolic links in one place.

I initiated this project to address the challenges of managing large files on limited SSD storage, ensuring that moving files doesn't break application dependencies. NeatShift is open-source (GPL-3.0 license), and I'm actively seeking feedback and contributors to enhance its functionality.

Explore the project here: GitHub Repo https://github.com/BytexGrid/NeatShift

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
I don't know i agree. I think its brave to be honest about it. Being able to acknowledge you don't have it together is the first stage of growth.

Most people struggle with meaning, most people don't have it figured out.

So what, dude who suddenly fell into massive wealth tried a bunch of cliched things to find meaning. Did they work? No, these types of cliched things usually don't. However you don't find meaning without trying things. You have to fail before you suceed.

I specialize at moving data and traffic around at scale, while keeping everything running. A big portion of my 11 years was spent on that. I'm good with mentoring. In the past two years I grew (with) a rather junior team and delivered an organization-scale project.

Solving puzzles and pushing limits are my favorite. I implemented the Raft consensus algorithm in my free time using Rust. It can handle 20,000 QPS under ideal conditions.

Looking for interesting projects and team funding opportunities.
Yep. Once espressif gave us the esp32 with 50 cents each we completely forgot about arm etc.
