Up to you, but currently your polling endpoint just has a boolean, which is likely super easy to cook on the server side but also leads the user left wondering "uh, is this thing on?" in ways that any kind of percentage might not. IOW, how long, exactly, should any sane person wait for it to be {"status":true}?

Also, you have your ELB misconfigured because trying to upload a binary that is takes more than 30 seconds to upload causes the actual POST to puke. I'm sure that's great for hello-world.exe but is absolutely hilarious for any real binary

Show HN: Hamradioprices.com – A Price Tracker for Amateur Radio Gear
Hi HN,

I'm an amateur radio operator (VE7AJK) and a web developer. I recently launched https://hamradioprices.com, a price tracker for amateur radio gear. Think of it as a DekuDeals (https://www.dekudeals.com/) but specifically for hams.

The website currently only tracks radios, but I plan to expand it to include other equipment like antennas, tuners, and accessories as time goes on. My goal is to help other hams find the best prices for their gear and make more informed buying decisions.

I’d open to constructive feedback, especially from other hams.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

73,

I've literally had that exact question asked, minus the word "stagnated." The answer is because job title has little to do with scope, responsibility, or skill. At least at any company outside the most massive FAANG type companies.

I've also had interviews where I had to explain long gaps in employment, another topic many assume will be uncomfortable or a red flag. It all comes back to telling a good story at the end of the day, explain what you learned, why you were in that position, and how you are better for it.

You miss the point completely.

Let's say you take a photo and paste it on the internet. It is then used (without your permission) in a global ad campaign.

Your ability to sue is zero. All the user has to do is show that you don't have standing.

Your employer doesn't care. They'll happily ignore the violation. They're not interested in defending some random photo.

Incidentally if you posted the photo to somewhere like Facebook, the user can buy the license to use it from Facebook instead of from you, but that's another discussion for another day.
Any post about productivity, AI, and humans that does not put responsibility at the center is a waste of bandwidth.

I enjoy going into the (new) local Indian grocery in my town. On the other hand, I found the Russian (as an example) community in Toronto entirely hostile.

Seems like the majority of my son's friends in (small town / rural) high school are South Asian. And you know what? They're kinder better people than half the redneck neighbours I have around here, with their stupid "Stop Woke" signs on their lawns and shitty fake country music and their F150s barreling through stop signs.

What's that? Those are stereotypes? Wow. Shocking. Maybe we shouldn't make generalizations.

I don't share "values" with some amorphous blob of people from "Eastern Europe" just because they happen to have the same colour of skin as me.

Also... India is a commonwealth country and a former British colony, just like Canada... Unlike, I dunno, Bulgaria or Russia or Poland.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, do you mind clarifying?

For clarity on my end, the american Democratic party was going after big pharma and the Sackler family specifically for the opioid epidemic. In comes concerns over Covid (or CoV-2) and the same party completely embraced big pharma and vaccines developed under EUA. Hell, the President tried multiple times in televised speeches to push everyone to get vaccinated for fear of killing the elderly and dying over Christmas holiday.
> Currently, diabetics must frequently prick their fingers or rely on invasive wearable patches with micro-needles to track their blood-sugar levels

Type 1 diabetic here - for what it's worth, CGMs aren't particularly invasive. At least in comparison to the many many years of finger pricking! But a smart watch solution would be cool. (I actually do get my CGM readings on my smart watch, which is really nice!)

I know Apple has also worked on this stuff in the past, but from what I remember the accuracy wasn't good enough to be safe for diabetics. I'd be really curious to see accuracy stats on this in comparison to Dexcom and Freestyle CGMs.

I would definitely be excited to use something like this, but for me, the biggest quality of life improvements for me will be continued improvements with closed loop CGM + insulin pump systems.

The idea that Sumter justified the Yankees' war of aggression is one of the greatest canards in human history. The Yanks were occupying foreign soil at Sumter (an act of war). They lied about their plans to leave. They attempted to resupply the occupiers but were foiled by an attack... which resulted in zero Union dead. Ergo the Yanks had to wage total war? Lmao.

It's not that hard. In the example you've given you could sue the doctors for misdiagnosis, or if research showed that a condition had been mislabelled, people would receive compensation. It doesn't seem any more onerous than any of the other negotiations over conditions and treatments that go on in any medical industry and legislature anywhere in the world.

That isn't accurate, the US left (or at least the Democratic party) was very much against warp speed and vaccines while Trump was still in office. Many Democratic politicians, including Biden and Harris if I'm not mistaken, apoje out against Trump's vaccine program and the risk of forcing through testing under such extreme circumstances. That changes as soon as Biden, rather than Trump, owned the vaccine programs.
Ask HN: What software product do you wish existed that you'd use?
Thought this could be an interesting way to share potential ideas, but also discover potential products. Last time I mentioned a software I wish existed to a friend; they told me about a specific product that pretty much did what I needed.

"I've worked for the Washington Post since 2008 as an editorial cartoonist."

"The cartoon that was killed criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump."

"The group in the cartoon included Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook & Meta founder and CEO, Sam Altman/AI CEO, Patrick Soon-Shiong/LA Times publisher, the Walt Disney Company/ABC News, and Jeff Bezos/Washington Post owner."

When I read the parent comment it does not seem to have anything to do with the submission. Instead it changes the subject away from the newspaper owned by Bezos killing a cartoon with Bezos in it to something about "the demise of traditional media".

You should consider signing one anyway depending on whether you like the creator. This gives the maintainer of the project a way to make money from his work: sublicensing it to companies under a different license. This promotes the use of extreme copyleft licenses like the AGPLv3.

I actually emailed Stallman to ask about the ethics of this. He replied that it's better for everyone when only the creator has this power. Permissive licenses give everyone else that power too. Copyleft licenses don't. Only the copyright owner can sublicense. Others must comply or pay for it.

I see what you mean. The original developer can engage
in a practice that blocks coopertation.

By contrast, using some other license, such as the ordinary GPL,
would permitt ANY user of the program to engage in that practice.
In a perverse sense that could seem more fair,
but I think it is also more harmful.

On balance, using the AGPL is better.

This is not at all comparable to inline assembly which interleaves two different languages into the same source file.

The presented examples are just a straight distinct assembly language associated with the golang ecosystem used in their own dedicated source files called via a FFI. This is comparable to just writing a pure assembly file and linking it into your program which is actually a much more reasonable thing to do than the insanity of inline assembly.

The problems being highlighted are just cases of people who do not understand ABIs and ABI compatibility. This is extremely common when crossing a language boundary due to abstraction mismatches and is made worse, not better, by doing even more magic behind the scenes to implicitly paper over the mismatches.
Apparently PET is even nicer to print with if your hotend is capable of that temperature.
When you force TLS/HTTPS, you are committing both yourself (server) and the reader (client) to a perpetual treadmill of upgrades (a.k.a. churn). This isn't a value judgement, it is a fact; it is a positive statement, not a normative statement. Roughly speaking, the server and client softwares need to be within say, 5 years of each other, maybe 10 years at maximum - or else they are not compatible.

For both sides, you need to continually agree on root certificates (think of how the ISRG had to gradually introduce itself to the world - first through cross-signing, then as a root), protocol versions (e.g. TLSv1.3), and cipher suites.

For the server operator specifically, you need to find a certificate authority that works for you and then continually issue new certificates before the old one expires. You might need to deal with ordering a revocation in rare cases.

I can think of a few reasons for supporting unsecured HTTP: People using old browsers on old computers/phones (say Android 4 from 10 years ago), extremely outdated computers that might be controlling industrial equipment with long upgrade cycles, simple HTTP implementations for hobbyists and people looking to reimplement systems from scratch.

I haven't formed a strong opinion on whether HTTPS-only is the way to go or dual HTTP/HTTPS is an acceptable practice, so I don't really make recommendations on what other people should do.

For my own work, I use HTTPS only because exposing my services to needless vulnerabilities is dumb. But I understand if other people have other considerations and weightings.

> 1) tests take too long to run 2) difficult to root cause breakages.

I have gotten a ton of value out of targetting these problems specifically. Some low-cost-high-value test infra changes:

1. Passing tests are not allowed to emit error level logs without expecting them; if the expected error does not occur, the test fails. This is good in general, but also makes root causing test failures easier as if you encounter an unexpected error log you can attach it to the failure message, and often that pinpoints the root cause.

2. Have lots of off-by-default instrumentation. For example, if a test fails auto-rerun it with sanitizers on.

3. In tests, gather backtraces when moving tasks between threads. This makes identifying what triggered an error straightforward.

4. Collect data during test runs, like line coverage, in a sequential order that can be diffed between passing and failing runs.

As for making tests fast, the solution is aggressive optimization just like prod code - profile the test, and fix what makes it slow. Cut corners where it makes sense - should you ever fsync in a test? VM snapshotting can be very useful in this area for things that are slow to start up.
If the expense is an issue, try a used one. My cycle computer was released several years ago (wahoo wfcc4 (2019)) and is still great.

This would be akin to saying a cello player knows how to orchestra, and changing instruments wouldn't be a problem.

Software development in the frontend, backend, database, etc are very different skills especially when at a non-junior level. Expecting someone to jump between them without much to any training is like expecting a cellist to jump over to the violin.

Pretty much all developed countries do fairly well on rapid access to emergency care. The queues are more of an issue with elective care. Socialized healthcare systems generally impose artificial supply limits to hold down costs, which is why we often see affluent Canadians come to the USA as medical tourists to skip the queue for certain procedures like MRI scans. While socialized systems might be better overall, there are certain drawbacks.

Outside of certain screenings, there is no proven benefit to yearly physical exams for healthy adults. It's a waste of resources and doesn't improve patient outcomes. Some people seem to want those annual exams, but they aren't justified on an evidence-based medicine basis.
