Well, that's what you get if you lower taxes on businesses. Otherwise some brick and mortar shop might rightfully complain why do I have to pay taxes for regulating companies that ruin my business.

Is it public knowledge how much FAANG companies pay?
One other way to look at some of this (especially with the other comments around whether anything is "truly" owned) is in terms of "redundancy". TFA touches on some of the control/portability side but the thought experiment here is something like: how many people am I depending on? If you owned den.dev and den.xyz as mirrors on separate providers that's one less failure point where someone else has the power to disappear you (etc, all the way through to redundant underwater sea cables, I guess!)

I have just installed Lineage android 15 on my oneplus 5T and motorola edge 20 pro without any issues.

Both phones are running well and as expected

The inclusion of the reference photo of the lineage recovery is very deceptive.

Development and modding on Android often require a combination of trial and error and a significant amount of patience. Manually enabling individual permissions for every sideloaded app might be inconvenient, but it adds up over time. Apps blocked by the Play Integrity API have a wider impact, making it harder to modify apps and continue using apps their developers no longer support.
Yes, and we're on _Hacker_ News after all - doing this just for fun should be sufficient reason in and of itself
Until my wife installed UBo, this was helpful in finding presents for her. Because I was using UBo, I could switch it off, browse Facebook and all of my ads were being targetted at her. I could see everything she was considering buying.

It was impressively creepy and a good way of surprising her with something she hadn't said anything about but was considering buying.
Does it have to be self-hosted? My sites, for example, are generally hosted on one of the various VPS services, some big and well known like Linode, others smaller like 1984.hosting. I move around too much to be worried about setting up servers in my homes, etc, but fully support the smolweb movement and love making my own tiny html places.
Ask HN: Any success with "Who is hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?"
I am a long-time reader of HN and see these posts monthly with many people posting. I also approached a couple of companies( very few ) for jobs. I am curious if there are people who were able to find the right candidates or jobs based on these posts. Are there any failure stories?
I think the sentiment was to keep your content (and audience) portable, not specifically that you don't rely on anyone else's services. If you post everything on Twitter and Twitter decides they don't like you, then that's the end of you. If you host on a personal domain and your rented web host decides to block you, there's plenty more options and you can take your audience with you and they will never know the difference.
That's pretty hard, especially without side-strafing lol

Hey there!
I finally managed to publish a working version of my first app on the Android PlayStore.
It is a gamified habit tracking app where you get leaves for completing your habits and are able to spend those leaves on digital furniture and plants to decorate your home.
I am actually really glad how the app turned out and it would mean the world to me if you'd check it out.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

THERAPY.

THE THING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS THERAPY.

SAY IT WITH ME:

THER
A
PY.

Everything in this post is about how you keep tripping over your own bullshit and don’t know what you want. The only difference between you and everyone else having an existential crisis is you won the lottery before you ran out of ways to lie to yourself. The good news is you’ve apparently got enough money to pay for the help so many other people need but can’t get. Go find a therapist and figure out why you’re so goddamn miserable (emotionally, not as a person) and what stupid stories you’ve been telling yourself to make you that way so you can use all the wealth you’ve accumulated to do something fulfilling, instead of trying to cosplay as the most visibly miserable person on the planet.
> I can only imagine the number of people diagnosable with narcissistic personality disorder that love "being themselves" and never want to change their fundamental nature for anyone.

As an aside, NPD is a terribly misunderstood disorder. The popular image of someone who just loves themselves, navigates life without caring about anything or anyone, and hurts people for fun isn't what NPD actually is. [1]

The irony is that (as far as I understand it) majority of people with NPD who appear grandiose don't actually love themselves, they're really drowning in shame and self-hatred which motivates the way they want to present themselves and how they interact with other people. It's often deeply rooted in their own childhood trauma.

I vaguely remember this from this last year though I can't remember all the details. That's a scary slippery slope.

Of course it'll be presented as a security feature, because users are dumb, whilst also allowing vendors to lock you into their ecosystem; similar to how passkeys are currently being push by these same companies.
Yes, I think we mostly agree, except for the "white lie of sorts" and the "never felt like an imposter anywhere" parts which could be true but I'm not sure about (because I met bright people with imposter syndrome); but that was not your main point anyway, you were initially answering to 2-3-7-43-1807, who apparently didn't understand my initial comment (in which I never state anything about Terence Tao's imposter syndrome, who, no, I didn't know about, but that doesn't change anything about what I wrote).
You're right, but, as a user reading those release note for the first time, that's how it seemed. AI is being added? TO MY TERMINAL? Yes once I read it I understood it wasn't quite that bad, but the initial "Are you f*king kidding me?" feeling never left. AI. Next to my terminal. Please.
That's the problem with allowing a company the reach and keep dominating market position. You need to involve them in regulation enforcement. In a fair market Google could rightfully say that's none of our business.

I assume the job is for EU citizens, with relocation assistance available. They phrase this as “we can only relocate candidates who are in the EU”.

GP is here to point that this is a misleading way to phrase it because “EU citizens” isn’t synonymous with “people who live in the EU”, which is insufferably pedantic even by the standards of HN.
Attested boot chains aren't normally being used to attest a whole general purpose OS. They attest up to a small hypervisor that allows partitioned worlds to be created and chain attested, and then sensitive computations are done inside that.

What do you think about writing a tutorial without explaining terminology, but then ask an LLM to generate some kind of terminology index that shows at hover over the terms? If I am writing a tutorial it will take me much longer to explain terminology that I assume is known before. I can see the author's points, but all things considered if I am writing "for free" I don't want to spend unneccessary time. Letting the tutorial be my words, and the terminology index be that of an LLM may be a good balance?
Needs a date in the title - this was posted a number of times here when it was published.
When an engine blows up, it’s hard to say what still worked and what didn’t. They aren’t supposed to, but when turbines come apart, there is often a lot of shrapnel that has a history of taking out multiple systems.

But, it is possible that it was a case of poor crew performance.

In any case, the concrete blockhouse at the end of the runway was unhelpful, and it is also outside of the standard guidance for runway aligned obstructions. In most cases, those antennas would have been on frangible towers, and the crew, at fault or not, as well as the passengers, would have had a decent chance of walking away unharmed.
The cost of MSSQL is largely controlled by how the system is designed and the complexity of the business.

The model I am most familiar with is a 10-20 employee B2B SaaS startup running one "big" instance on a single vm in the cloud somewhere. If this is approximately all you require, then the cost should not be a dominating factor in your decision.

I think "because Microsoft" is also really poor justification if we are being serious about the technological capabilities and pursuing high quality business outcomes. If your business is fundamentally about open source advocacy and you are operating as a non profit, I totally get it. But, this is probably not your business model.
I spend a great deal of time, testing the hell out of my supporting material.

I usually supply a GitHub repo or gist, with either a full app, or a playground. In many cases, I’ll have a full app, already running, with just one source file, that we’ll be modifying. This may be in a tagged GitHub repository or gist, with tags, denoting steps[0]. In other cases, I’ll supply a zip file, with everything in it[1].

I can take a month, developing a tutorial that can be run in an hour.

Teaching is hard. A good trainer spends many hours, preparing for relatively short classes. It’s sort of like playing a concert; you only get one chance, so preparation is key. Also, in tech, the students are often more accomplished than the teacher. It can be a tough room.

That said, I have attended some valuable tutorials, in which the teacher did a terrible job, preparing. It’s just that I don’t work that way, myself.

The main reason that I write tutorials, is to teach myself. I don’t think anyone else really pays much attention to my work[2]. I have presented a few “official” classes[1], but mostly, I work on my own. I have, actually, been teaching for decades, in small, short, seminar form; mostly for non-technical stuff.

For the author: Getting all that money without the life experience to build some values or ambitions for your impact on the world is proof enough that your fortune is just random luck. There are millions who have put more thought into life and had no financial reward for it. Give it to them, or get a life for yourself. Then you'll know what to do.

Yeah, you're right about them not having to rewrite existing ones. They could've only inserted affiliate codes when there weren't existing ones.

Yeah, with automatic evaluation dosed correctly is key. It can quickly become a slippery slope, turning into a 100 line monstrosity supporting the most esoteric environments, like "if user is not in the sudoers group and is running offline in a dockerfile without a tty on solaris8 through pdp virtualization on apple silicon".

Some times it is better to let the user think for themselves rather than provide a "paste this magic script". If you are going to use a script, you are kindof taking away the purpose of a tutorial; to learn each individual thing step by step, not how to run another black box.
But what if their friend searched for it rather than them, and they were associated due to their location?

Hackernews has a surprising amount of Ruby news over the large few months. As Ruby is my first true (=production) love, I'm here for it.

I've spent the last years in Python land, recently heavily LLM assisted, but I'm itching to do something with Ruby (and or Rails) again.
This isn't even particularly close, but I had a gremlin that I would notice at night time where I'd hear my CPU fan idly spin up and the computer slow down... come to find out I was basically getting port scanned and _blasted_ with RDP requests, and since RDP is a nightmare protocol with no rate limiting to speak of, it was obvious that some botnet had found the port I had changed RDP to and was hammering it to try to gain access to my computer. This manifested with svchost.exe maxing out CPU, and digging deeper revealed it was coming from a botnet in... well, who knows where.

Obviously that was all the incentive I needed to finally heed my devops friend's warning and disable port forwarding and instead use Tailscale for remote access, but yeesh. Wild to watch happen first-hand.

lol.

People often have an idea that ATC actually controls what happens. They just give advisory guidance to pilots, who ultimately decide what to do. A clearance to land or the lack of one does not absolve the pilots from making their own judgments and decisions about how to conduct the navigation of the aircraft, and where and when to land.

Usually, it’s a bad idea to not follow ATC guidance, but in the case of emergencies especially, pilots call the shots.
Cloudflare captcha? Does such thing exist? They have Turnstyle which I never had problems on my computers (only Firefox installed). I did have problems on a niche phone running an outdated mobile Firefox, but I believe they might have been solved.

Edit: Yes, seems to work now. After I complained on HN earlier their CTO asked me to send a trace. I did so and a couple of months later the problem was gone. Whether that was causal or incidental I have no idea.
I can't put my finger on it but I think many people see this as two operating modes, for lack of a better term. The more monolithic and enterprisey your solution (and with bespoke DBMS), the more it leans towards anything more complex than an index and maybe a couple triggers - and the more microservices-y where every small service owns its own database (and only half of them are RDBMS) the less complex code is desired in the DB itself, because you're also migrating off of single instances/clusters a lot (just taking a relatively dumb data dump with you, or even just adding new replicas, ship-of-theseus-like).
I've always said that "consumer" is a slur.

North Carolina's coastal tourism could decline due to salty tap water
A very timely news for something I've been working on lately.

It goes without saying that there's conflict of interest, but the interesting bit is such conflict arises because of crude thinking from the execs about what makes discount code works.

Discounts is a form of marketing, simple as that. If your company sells products at a discount, it means that you're spending extra marketing cost to sell higher volumes. Anyone in the middle distributing this discount information will charge extra for their service.

Anyone competing to charge companies for marketing can only meaningfully compete on cost and reach. In terms of cost, most discount code websites tend to only give small discounts to consumers as the 'sales' cost is internalised in other forms, e.g. commission, so only a fraction gets passed on to them.

At the end of the day, these kinds of businesses will fight to find any margins possible, however small, to keep the company afloat because competition will erode these margins away through price reductions to these companies.

This is why Honey is the way it is now, because the incentives forces them to do so. It is harmful to end consumers as they have no $$ on the table to influence this large incentives.

Honey doesn't have to do this, but they think they do probably because most companies around them are doing the same, so why not? But there's examples (like x.com) to show that you CAN charge consumers directly, and they'll pay handsomely if your product is good enough.

That's why I'm starting Pence (https://pence.so), where I charge consumers directly for giving them better deals. I don't charge merchants because of long-term incentive alignment for end consumers. The supply of deals comes from marketing emails that you and I receive, and these companies are sending them for almost nothing as email is a free protocol.

Feel free to challenge me, as there's obvious concerns I've anticipated for my product, but I think it's one valid way to think about this issue differently.
> I dunno, sounds more like some gate keeping, or maybe I'm biased because I hate the term for no discernible reason.

I'm not too fond of the term either, but I think that's because it got gentrified and somewhat misunderstood. Everything personal on the web was suddenly a garden.

> But yeah, if someone want to own the definition of blog and digital garden and not accepting a certain overlap with "personal website", sure.

Of course there's a overlap. My point was not that the listed sites had to fulfill the criteria for classification, but if there's not a single hint of gardening going on, then we might as well call en.wikipedia.org a blog?

Also, is a website "personal" if it's just there to market your services? Sure, it's personal as in your website, but content wise it's not particularly personal. Gardens or personal wikis are usually not there to market services, but to build some kind of personal knowledge base (that other nerds, not employers, might find interesting).
I have been to airports whose runway end in the ocean, a swamp, a mountain and a 5 lane highway.
50m of runway? Not much difference

50m of arrestor bed? Some difference, probably meaningful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrestor_bed
They are just not convenient to use since they are per repo and not shared via clone
This depends strongly on the airport, terrain, and variability of winds.

There are airports in which approaches always or very nearly always follow the same profiles given local conditions. SFO, SJC, and SAN would be three examples off the top of my head.

SFO's major approaches are over the bay, opposite approaches would involve rapid descents dictated by mountains near the airport.

SJO and SAN are both limited by proximate downtowns with tall towers. Nominal approach glide paths cut below the rooflines of several structures, and make for some interesting experiences for arriving travellers.
You're embarrassing yourself as much as the article I was responding to by speaking in these absolutes. I have no doubt you worked on a ("huge") team that made all the wrong choices around Spring, or something like that, and by no means will I claim that OO is the best paradigm, though Java has adopted enough from other paradigms to give you at least some alternatives ways todo things. And I have worked in my share of dysfunctional projects, but I'm currently working on a small team that is highly productive with Spring Boot, and we wouldn't want it any other way.

I think digital coops are the only really feasible way away from platform capitalism.

Honestly, if I ever reach the point where my savings would keep me comfortable with a pension to look forward to pick up the slack at the end, I'd quit my job and just focus on my interests, providing a clean house and having a good meal ready in the evening for my wife and son, and develop some side gigs I can give up if they don't give me fulfilment.

As it is, I am acutely aware of my privileges as part of a household with two IT-based incomes and not too many worries, and that the world being what it is right now is giving rise to so many uncertainties that I wouldn't dream of abandoning this unless I had a really big bag of money like the author.
From the newish Go-based Postgres CDC tools, I know about:

Are there others? Each of them has slightly different angles and messaging, but it is interesting to see.
Windows Terminal has a ton of options these days. Last time I used Apple's, it had very US-centric handling of Alt/Option, unlike iTerm2.
They retracted the gear after the first landing attempt. I suspect they either missed it on the teardrop or had secondary hydraulic failure and no time to do a gravity drop. I would err on the side of crew error because there were clear signs the hydraulic systems were functioning (thrust reverser and that they could retract the gear in the first place). Hydraulics don’t fail instantly and one engine was spooling still on landing.

That's why EASA says put the plane down if there’s a strike on approach. Ryanair 4102 is a good example of a close one there as a reference.
