I agree professional services can stress you out. Being billable means you’re on multiple projects at some points if you’re good and if you’re not you’re benched.

Show HN: A Free Tool to Evaluate and Choose Your Best Startup Ideas
I always have a lot of ideas... way too many actually. I was told I should make up a list of criterias and weight them each so I can compare my ideas againts eachother so I can select which one to work on. I decided not to create a spreadsheet but a webpage instead. Enjoy!
I consider myself pretty normal, and I care, just because... I dunno, I appreciate honesty? Especially in our modern world where it increasingly feels like every individual person and every company is out to fuck every other person/company for every last nickel and dime they can manage? And like, this is pretty scummy. If I get sent towards a given product because someone I follow recommends it, yeah I want that person getting their pay for that. I don't give a shit how little it is. They were approached or they approached this company, offered to rep the product, did the work and showed it, and clearly they did a good job, because I watched it and used their link.

Like I don't particularly like sponsored segments, but I know why they exist: because ad revenue on YouTube is fickle and pretty shit, and I enjoy the creators I follow and want them to keep making stuff, and making stuff costs some combo of time and money. So yes, I want the creator to get that.

I think most normal people would vibe on this train of logic. I don't view and never have viewed business, including my own, as a cutthroat competition between me and everyone else. I view it as mutuality of purpose. I offer my work, and people who need stuff done that I can do, give me money. I think if the broader markets had an attitude like that instead of chasing every last penny at every single intersection, then we'd live in a better world.
Stand up at around 6:15, no snoozing the alarm. Get a glass of water and some yoghurt, cereals, fruit or bread, at least something light and not too heavy because after that I run around 30 minutes with my dog. This is my exercise and the dog needed to walk anyway. I do this 5 times a week.

After that drink a cup of coffee, and another glass of water, after which I first go to work at around 7:30, where I start with reviews, testing changes, and get through email. Standup is at 9:15, when I get another cup of coffee. The rest of the day is just cruising along; coding some stuff, fixing bugs, having some meetings etc... Usual SWE stuff.

Having started early, I can finish early, which gives me time for cooking, which I find very important. Because I already had my exercise in the morning, evenings are for me, my family and friends.

Weekends are similar, except I wake whenever I naturally awake, so my body and mind can recover where necessary, Although most of the time I still am awake at around 7:00.

This routine works very well for me. I try to keep low on alcohol and caffeine, of which the first one is going very well, but the second one a little less since I had a child a few months ago. Oh well...
I don't know, maybe because not everyone has the right GPU with DRM, while the TPM is conveniently mandatory? :)

Fair enough. Though, to some extent, one could counter this by pointing out that multiple declarations via the comma type-operator are generally considered ambiguous / bad practice in themselves; in which case I would prefer explicit spacing to discourage such bad habits. Otherwise, ideally the asterisk should be grouped anyway (i.e. int (* a), b; ).

Besides, a similar argument could be made of simultaneous array declarations, or things like int *f(), (*g)(); in the latter example, if I were lazy enough to use such a simultaneous declaration, at least I would still prefer to use proper grouping and spacing: int (* f()), (* g)();

Or, rely on the knowledge that the comma type-operator in this context binds less strongly than the asterisk type-operator, but more strongly than the type primitive, which causes it to be distributed to all the operands of the comma operator. Which is probably better than relying on proximity-by-convention heuristics in the first place.
FTC would make more sense, and now that this is getting devolved to the states I expect we'll see the major telecoms lobbying for regulation so that they don't have the hassle of implementing differing policies by state and the likely painful regulations that they'll get in more progressive states.
> Consider that prior to the internet, they were pretty much created to do the opposite of what people want from net neutrality.

You can scale broadband almost infinitely. You _cannot_ scale phone service or television or radio the same way. There are simple limits on physical space and on carrier allocations that require there to be a licensing body. The FCC is required to be reasonable and non-discriminatory and broadcasters are required to serve their local communities directly. The FCC can only license broadcasters and can place no limits on receivers at all. This is because these airwaves collectively belong to the people.

It was created to serve these purposes. None of these are the "opposite" of net neutrality in any way whatsoever.
The source of change should come from influencers - who shouldn’t promote this stuff. From honey, who shouldn’t steal money, lie about their business practices and steal people’s code. And it should come from Google and Firefox who allow extensions like this in their stores. And from consumers who install this crap.

> So are there some problems with the affiliate industry? Probably. But calling Honey a "scam" seems completely unfair and lacks critical thinking.

It is a scam. It’s an industry wide scam. Calling it out is important because it’s the calling out of shady practices which puts pressure on industries and people to change.

Obviously the correct solution is to spread the word about ublock and sponsorblock (and perhaps adnauseum) too. Help contribute to a better society by making advertising a less viable way to make money. If something is worth paying for, pay for it. Push the incentives toward honest practices. Don't white knight when shills play themselves.
> I was having terrible problems accessing archive.today when I was using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)

That's because that web site returns bad results to Cloudflare DNS, ostensibly because they take issue with the way it handles EDNS0. The fact that it fails to work is a deliberate choice by the site operator; it isn't Cloudflare's fault.
Certainly seems like something that the Library of Congress should be handling.

Well, it's definitely a new historical era in which old precedents are being thrown out and new ones made. I'm sure anti-piracy organizations will use this to their advantage soon to make a deal with ISPs to block suspected piracy sites. Also I do wonder if we'll see U.S. ISPs refuse to allow access to certain sites based on religious freedom grounds soon.
You are conflating the wrong thing. A simple thing isn't necessarily better or easier to quality assure.
Look at the other flagged comments and come to your own conclusion.
The privacy pass extension still requires you to pass a cloudlare turnstile which is impossible in some browser configurations. E.g., if you disable browser performance-debugging/timing features (these used to be a vector for Spectre timing attacks).
Pennine is further north (modern Derbyshire/Peak District [1]), so unlikely there. The Anglo-Brabant Landmass is the most likely location as it juts into the eastern Cotswold region (Oxfordshire).

>How much I would I get fined for wiretapping my neighbors illegally? They wouldn't fine me $40.

1. this is a civil case, not a criminal case, so it's closer to your neighbors suing you for damages than you being "fined" whatever dollar amount. This is important, because apple can still possibly be on the hook for further damages, assuming the DoJ decides to prosecute them.

2. it's unclear whether apple actually "wiretapped" anyone. In their response, they contend that accidental triggers don't count as "interception" (the relevant law actually mentions "interception", rather than wiretap), and that they consented to the possibility of accidental recordings by enabling siri, which is opt in. This never went to trial so we won't know whether this argument is actually legally sound, but it sounds at least plausible. At the very least I think most would agree that whatever apple is doing is totally different than you breaking into your neighbors' phone box and attaching a recorder.
Define quality.

Most people don’t care about the quality of things they consider disposable. Someone watching Netflix shows may care about the quality of their food. Someone who likes pizza hut pizza may still enjoy a Kubrick movie.
So true, and well put. I read all the Aubrey Maturin books first and then read four Hornblower novels.

Aubrey Maturin is better in terms of style, plot, environment and language.

I'd recommend the Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series to anyone who likes O'Brian. He writes superbly too, but has more action.

> Which is exactly how it’s supposed to work in the first place

True, but that was also when riding on a horse was the fastest way over land and a much much greater proportion of stuff was within state-lines.

In some alternate universe where the telegraph had already been invented, all those states may have entered into some sort of special telegram compact, and our "how it's supposed to work in the first place" would be rather different.

Actually, in this universe something similar did happen: The federal government was explicitly authorized to run a nationwide postal service, which stands out in a Constitution that was otherwise mostly about what it couldn't do.
tl;dr: They just want to spy on and control their employees,

guessing you are not a govie but EVERYTHING we do is fully controlled, including keystroke capture software and every other imaginable software you can think of that can tell exactly what you are doing every single second of the work day (or night)... it is even easier to spy and control remote workers than at-office workers - I have to do EVERYTHING now on the computer while at the office I can go to the breakroom and shit on Vivek and Must for hours :)

Spent 2 years working on the same problem. Ended up designing a library that does:

- direct connect

- reverse connect

- tcp hole punching

- turn support

Has other features too like:

- multi-interface

- duel-stack

- port forwarding and pin holes

Show some love cause its at 64 stars and is IMO, objectively better for direct peer-to-peer networking than OPs library that only supports direct, reverse, and relay, and which doesn't seem to do anything to open ports or firewalls. It does make me salty that I try so hard with my own work but what seems to make people successful is their ability to get lucky on sites like this or game them.

No offense to OP.

Show HN: Buybase – Ecom for your AI agent
Introducing Buybase (https://www.buybase.ai)

Natural language search and purchasing have the potential to render traditional online storefronts obsolete, as conversational AI agents with text and voice modalities become more prevalent. This means, having users manually search, apply filters on search result pages, add items to cart, and fill out checkout forms become a medium of the past. This shift ushers in a new era of "natural-language purchasing." With some predications saying agents armed with digital wallets will represent the majority of online transactions by 2030.

Buybase is positioned as the infrastructure for purchasing agents or as some may call "AI shopping assistants."

We offer a developer API designed to search, personalize, recommend, and purchase products from various marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Shopify, etc) on behalf of your users. Our solution is not bound by official third-party APIs, is built to be LLM-first, and offers a way for developers to capture a percent of each transaction for monetizing their apps.

Buybase’s API offers several features to support developers purchasing agent applications:

• Authentication: Manages user account session data, bot detection, two-factor authentication, and captchas.

• Monetization: Provides infrastructure to collect transaction fees from users, allowing developers to earn a percentage of each transaction.

• Maintenance: Maintains search and purchasing automation with e-commerce platforms.

• Personalization: Tracks user preferences and order history to enhance search results.

• Developer-Friendly: Offers comprehensive documentation for quick integration.

• Security: Implements a zero-trust architecture and encrypted user session storage.

Right now, we are in private beta, offer Amazon search and purchasing on behalf of users, and are actively looking for builders and developers to join and provide feedback. If you're interested in joining, please go to https://buybase.ai and click "Join API Beta"!

Everything can be litigated again. However eventually the courts have to slow that down. The courts decision is saying that Congress may not have done their job because the agency ruling was what they would have done anyway and so the courts don't want to overturn everything right away. I'm sure most of the previous decisions will be litigated (if congress doesn't change the law first), but they don't want thousands of cases to come before congress has a chance to make law what they should have done. If you challenge the rules now you have to convince the courts that congress wouldn't have passed that rule as law, which is harder (but not impossible).

OTOH, I think/hope the courts are sending a message to congress that they need to work out more details in the laws.

Net neutrality was never about mobile data.

Unlike terrestrial internet, you can’t just build more capacity with over the air data transmissions. You have to have more agressive network and QOS management for cellular networks.

Besides that, the true argument for net neutrality was not to unfairly help or hurt businesses. T-mobile 0 rated all of the streaming services that participated in the program and were not asking for money for it. Even though they didn’t advertise it, if you dug deep enough, you could find the list including some porn sites.

Someone commented on HN a while back that they were able to get their 50 stream non profit 0 rated.
It seems like a conceptionally simple problem to grade a repo given the vast number of metrics available. Especially considering the advanced code analysis tools available today. I want a top-level analysis of some sort, based on: usage by other software (if applicable,) activity, issue frequency and resolution, derivatives (forks, etc.,) number of participants, code maturity, code testing, release frequency, license structure and many other parameters.

There is an opportunity here for a third party to do this well.
And forks on github have some bad ergonomics! Weird places where the upstream project still has control/influence over your fork. A full clone is better if you actually want control over the code fork.

Quarterly upgrades, four years: 16 upgrades. A dozen build breaks means that 75% upgrades face a build break.

Since it's over the total number of builds for 20-30 services, it should not be that bad; instead, sometimes there happened a completely uneventful upgrade of everything!
>CNN published this headline one day after.

Yeah yeah they edit these headlines and articles in real time. Even Archive.org cannot keep up with news, and they do nothing for search results which is what I was talking about. By the way, the Internet Archive was mysteriously down for several weeks during election season after Trump's multiple assassination attempts, and I don't buy their story either.

>The info is not there. Misinformation, sure.

You only provided one CNN link, which was likely modified in real time. The memory hole is real.

The mainsteam denial went on for quite a while. They first questioned whether he was shot, then they questioned the obvious motive of the assassin with stupid crap like "It is unclear what the shooter's motive was, or if it was political." To be fair a high-ranking FBI official was muddying the water and the media is practically obligated to take that seriously ( https://nypost.com/2024/07/25/us-news/fbi-director-christoph... for example). But take your lame apologetics elsewhere. I saw this unfold in real time by the hour, as a case study in propaganda and gaslighting.

Edit: Your trolling is testing the rate limit. Here's your reply, jerk:

>Nope, the article headline was not modified in real time. But you don't care because you are only interested in information that confirms your delusion.

You are arguing with me about stuff I watched very carefully with my own eyes only a few months ago. Take your snotty attitude and gaslighting elsewhere. Do not reply to me again on anything political, ever.
> figure out which ones were never litigated, and figure out how to defend it without Chevron.

I'm fairly certain the regulated entities will take this upon themselves and will create the lawsuits that provide the opportunity for the administrative agency to defend their position.

If they're that concerned, then they should get with Congress, and get a new law passed. This is precisely what Chevron was meant to create. Administrative agencies simply cannot unilaterally create and enforce law anymore.

Macs haven't had TPMs for a while now (I think Apple never really used it and dropped it even before the Apple Silicon switch), but of course they have their proprietary equivalent.
Thanks for the correction.

This points to one area of Apple's use of GPL code. Apple doesn't want code licensed under GPL v3+ so they're sticking with the GPL v2 codebase (and custom-backporting bugfixes?). Apple uses Bash v3.2, GNU Bash is at v5.2.

> preferably a Romance or Germanic language (as I believe some languages don't have tenses)

A couple of points:

- If you natively speak a Romance language, learning Latin by example is going to be really easy for you. This doesn't belong in a comparison with anything else.

- Germanic speakers have no special advantage over any other Indo-European speakers.

- You might be interested to know that while Mandarin verbs don't inflect for tense, the negative particle does, so you have to observe a distinction between past and present tense whenever you're negating a verb.
