Either the source itself, or a written offer to provide the source. But you're right that 'vaguely gesturing' at it doesn't seem to be permitted. Not to mention the license terms not being prominent in the binary (with hardly anyone outside of GNU actually putting a license command into their programs). This kind of stuff is why I'm not in the business of distributing free software.
Agree. I'd love to see an example of this, or read more about it.
I've been involved with a local militia for several years, and they absolutely do have strong connections with law enforcement (and, to a lesser extent, military) - some cops are members outright, others are not formally affiliated but provide support, training etc.

The cops I've seen in those meetings talking about how the communities they are policing are "subhuman animals" that "just need a bullet" are still in Seattle PD, as well.

They also had connections with some state legislature members, such as Matt Shea.
I actually use MPV and bash scripts to do all the listed features and more. I considered making a similar GUI but after carefully reviewing the scripts I decided that there is simply no way to match the degrees of freedom that scripting provides.

Most people are unlikely to view scripting as the most powerful user interface available. So there may be a market for a simplified GUI such as this.
You're right about me misremembering the terminology here, but I feel like in your focus on the details you've kind of glossed over the larger point that I was trying to make, which is that having a language where you _can't_ define something non-terminating (like you can in Turing complete languages) is still enough to do quite a lot, and I think it's a bit of a shame that there aren't that many mainstream options for this.
The problem with staff though is that it is harder to meet expectations when you change companies than if you stay at the same company. The role often requires you to be able to navigate organizational barriers effectively to do your job. And at a new company, you need to be exceptional at making connections if you want to continue to be remote. At your current company, the time you put in as a senior allows you to have those connections and therefore continue to perform as a staff engineer. This barrier is why a lot of people continue to work at the same company with underwhelming raises.
I thought it might be an jet-engine cowl, but I don't know enough about planes.
This isn’t amazing because it’s a well known contest trick.
Thanks, good suggestion on accepting wikipedia URL natively, I actually started with that, but when I shared it with my friend, he though it takes extra step to get the wikipedia URL which may be not that user friendly. Although I guess I should support both ways.

In terms the spare result, I am still experimenting with how granular the timeline should be. Although now I prompt AI to include as many events as possible, it's still a mystery to me how to precisely control it.
That totally makes sense. If we are estimating your purchasing power at 1/4x mine (I'm located in California and make decent money but not tech industry type money) I can see paying 40$ for the unlimited tier being much more of a consideration.

What does keep me paying personally though are three things:

1. I use search constantly for my job (and personal life) and Kagi makes me much more efficient compared to Google for both. I could easily filter out most ads for free with other tools - the ad free nature of Kagi is more of a plus on top personally than a main selling point.

2. While I generally avoid subscriptions 10$ per month is very little spread over days worked in a month. I comparatively probably spend much more for other things that benefit my job and personal life and bet you do too (better laptop - more reliable internet - etc etc). Even at 40$ a month (given your example) I would imagine it's a net benefit in terms of time savings per hour vs salary earned.

3. They are very transparent about new features and bugs fixed and blog updates and also are adding new features at a very impressive pace. There are lots of little things added that improve the experience and I don't see them buying into trends just for hype - everything's seems highly useful.

I also mostly drink loose leaf tea at home which can be either a hell of a lot cheaper than a daily coffee shop visit in either of our countries (mid tier tea in bulk) or a hell of a lot more expensive (fancy tea bought from smaller vendors). If I am ever going through a financial down period I can easily see myself choosing to go exclusively with the cheap bulk tea and keeping Kagi - total cost per work day for both would less than 50 cents USD / day.
And Ruby Ridge too, IIRC.
Please give me feedback on my new social music sharing and discovery app
I recently launched my new social music sharing and discovery app called Solance. The goal behind it is to create a way to make it easier for friends to share and discover music. It came about from me and my friends always sending each other songs on Spotify that we thought the other would like but then I figured how many songs have my friends heard that I would've liked that they never sent me? And so that's where this app idea came from. Essentially you sign up and link your Spotify and then follow your friends on the app. Once in the app you need to follow your friends and then the music they recently listened to on Spotify will show up in your feed in batches of 4 songs at a time similar to an Instagram post. You can then listen to short previews of these songs to see if you like them, you can also interact by liking and/or commenting on the songs. You can also save the song directly from the Solance app to your Spotify Liked songs. The app is in very early stages so you will need friends to get the proper Solance experience. To initially test the app you can follow me, my username is dan. Please keep in mind the app is very new with many features planned but I would love feedback on the initial idea and exectution! The website is https://solance.app and you can get a bit more info on the app from there and also download the app!
Sometimes there's a glitch and the employee continues to get paid after being laid off.
Interesting that the catch-abort on the last flight was caused by a damaged sensor on the tower. Just shows the complexities over trying to launch and immediately catch a rocket from the same structure.
The rust does stand out as kind odd, not many aerospace materials rust???

How fast would you have to spin a gear ring to say, launch it on a ballistic trajectory and have it go supersonic? Maybe a factory somewhere had a _really_ catastrophic accident?
Been there, done that. Become a farmer and am now quite satisfied.
Discussion from 2021.

The logic seems to have later moved to https://github.com/exelban/stats/blob/master/Kit/plugins/Tel...

https://github.com/exelban/stats/issues/1310 has a newer 2023 discussion what requests are send are where. It's checking if a new version of the software exists, and what the IP address is and both features can be disabled.
The current recycling paradigm has been an obvious failure of catastrophic proportions.

What is needed is not new recycling processes, but a government that is not beholden to plastics industry lobbying. Can we have a new process for good government too, please?
I’d love to expand the scope of my work and do better stuff. But meetings without concrete agendas are the bane of my existence, and even as an IC, I’ve had to sit through far too many.

Post-senior paths are kind of hazy, and I’d rather job-hop than climb these ladders. The number of times I’ve gone “above and beyond” only to hear, “Sorry, we don’t have the budget for a raise,” is exhausting.
Super cool! I was experimenting with WebGPU and various simulations a couple months ago [1] and would love to learn more about your process! Do you have a blog or something similar?

Researchers design wearable tech that can sense glucose levels more accurately
That happened to me six years ago. After a few weeks I quit beating my head against the wall, created an email account elsewhere, and eventually got most correspondents to use the new address. And I quit using Google services for anything else, too.

Every year or so I'll check to see if I can log in, but it just loops around variations of "two-factor authentication", which I had never used, and therefore have no answer to.
This is coming and there's a very simple fix.

Make healthcare insurance be actual insurance: as in, not a gateway to treatment conditions that are entirely lifestyle driven.

Once patients are responsible for the bill and the large middle layer admin crud is taken off the table, medical inflation almost disappears. Take this example of a for-profit facility vs non-profit hospitals [1]

Ideally this happens once environmental factors are fixed or drastically reduced so diet and lack of time are "choice-driven" instead of "needs driven" as health determinants (you do have subsidies at the lowest end, but that cannot go on forever).

Look at his profile, he's an autistic Nazi with deep psychological issues... not worth engaging further with a clearly unstable individual lol
Cowlings are generally thin aluminum or composite materials, never steel. Cowlings are considered "fairings", generally to smooth the air-stream in and around the engine.
I think the GP is referring to practices like [1] "Google claims copyright on employee side projects".

One can only hope it a coincidence that a common synanthrope belongs to the family Muscidae
Right, that's why I pointed it out. There isn't any evidence this is something people even want to happen, let alone that it will.
I want to be honest here, but your position that this is for home users needs facts to back it up.

The “new generation of paramilitary leaders” described by the article includes “doctors, career cops and government attorneys”. All of these would seem to have a lot to lose. If this is true, one would think that elite military operators might be even more likely to take risks for what they believe in. They’ve already made peace with the possibility of death.
Maybe that was the "rumbling" they all heard! lol
Just like last time, and time before that, and the time before that: please stop posting this stuff until there's a solution that actually works at scale. It's like the little brother to cold fusion.
The problem isn’t that governments are beholden to the plastics lobby; this is more of a ‘bootleggers and baptists’ situation where most people like plastics because they’re cost-effective, and ‘recycling’ lowers their perceived environmental costs
From what I can tell, none of these problems really matter if their 18A bet pays off, and this article doesn’t talk about their 18A progress, from what I could quickly read.
Hm
Is the 20 minutes/cigarette solid then?

On Hacker News it's best to add 'Show HN' to the title. The submission will be listed on https://news.ycombinator.com/show , no need to ask 'please give feedback'. Users on that page know everybody is presenting their project.
Children. They are the purpose in life. Literally every biology textbook says every life form from amoeba to whales to people seek to reproduce.

Having a family is by fat the best thing I have ever done. I have been independently wealthy now 10 years from my business I founded.
I'm baffled that they didn't even try to hide the fact these profiles are artificial but outright add that bleak gray text saying "AI managed by Meta". I mean, did we reach some checkpoint here where reality is blurred with fiction? Do we now treat these generated personas on par with real humans?

Honestly, I don't think meta can go any lower from this point in order to get the user engagement with their silly plaything that facebook has become.
Yes, and I watched the summary video.
Yes and: the outrage machine results in mass self-radicalization.
Northern Europe seems to do recycling well, there is a 25 cent bounty on each bottle, and grocery stores have automatic sorter/collectors.
100%. Collect all garbage (and recyclables) in one shot and sort at the destination!!!

So many billions of hours and dollars lost to this nonsense.
Cooking would suck a lot less if physicists who cared about clarity and precision wrote recipes.
How few are they making? That's insanely expensive for what it does.
There have been many variants of this 'generic' card deck published on board game geek

* https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/39987/one-deck (my own attempt)

* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/59655/rainbow-deck

But for something different, I suggest looking at the Decktet, https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37301/decktet , which is an unusual multi suited deck, which people have ported games to use.
we aren't made of carbon directly though, we are made of amino acids that are made from carbon and a few other things (plus polysacharides and a bunch of fatty acids), so I wouldn't exactly say we are made of the same fundamental building blocks, as I expect there is way more than just our set of amino acids that will work (I would expect a number of different grouping of amino acids to work as separate groups and how the first proto amino acids happen to be put to use by chance to determine which grouping then goes on to evolve further and dominate because if you have to break something down and rebuild it as what you need it is way costlier than just dissasembling to aminos and reassembling so given enough time one should becomethe monopoly)
Linux started on the 386.

“It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.”
I agree with Jonathan. It seems to be a very low-tech, solid steel ring gear assembled and riveted together from 4 distinct parts. Not very aero-spacey at all...
A great point. And until we're seeing the "high MHz (like) the big boys" who will want a $1000 laptop that runs as slow as an $80 raspberry pi 5?
Oh I wasn't aware of that! Thank you!
Are they now? I see no reason why they should as long as it does not fall under special exception list. Like pedos working in kindergarten. But attempt to hire those would raise that special exception flag anyways.
Not unique to the US. This develops to a certain extent everywhere private insurance is sold. It is a completely logical consequence of the insurance company raking in the most when selling you insurance for everything that won't happen, and deny you any coverage for stuff that will happen. At that point, it is a mystery to me why so many people still think free market theory works for healthcare.
I was involved with a local militia for several years. The stuff that I've seen there has firmly convinced me of two things. First, those people are political and religious extremists that fantasize of violence against their perceived enemies and are basically waiting for an excuse and a leader to realize it. And second, if and when they do, many cops will look the other way (and some will be among their ranks).
We simply wouldn't need as much bandwidth if storage on devices was improved on devices and we went back to a model of collecting our entertainment as data files. These files could be shipped on memory stick & SD cards. All streaming is being pushed so much for is the ability to rent data access (access that can be removed once monthly payments stop), and streaming is dramatically wasteful in terms of bandwidth & power resources... If Spotify, NetFlix, & Apple music are prioritized over streaming services by other companies, it's only gouging to drive consumers to downloadable file culture again, namely resources like torrenting.

Big business will eventually need to abandon this old "market domination" model because of consumer demand to own physical files if things work correctly. Millions of people streaming the same movies and music over and over again is very wasteful and not sustainable in the long run, as each monthly service is a different (continually increasing) bill, it will only serve to bring bootlegging operations back to popularity in the long run... As once you download & save a digital file, it doesn't really require that bandwidth again & again per device.

Subverting Net Neutrality is just another way companies will exert greed on consumers, but in the long run, consumers will always win when they withdraw from subscriptions and these companies begin to falter.

We should be paying $25 a month for Internet service by now, and $2 to permanently buy a movie, and perhaps $4 to buy an album on memory stick. That would be the fair future... Instead, they're charging each user $24 a month just for (very limited selection) Netflix alone, and each other service is doing the same... Companies stand to lose everything in this battle because of the huge infrastructure (up-front) investments they need to make in order to operate... Customers can go back to pirating Mp3s, Mp4s, CDs, DVDs, Vinyl, and even Tape decks if need be. It's long overdue for the industry to check itself and do a reset... Bandwidth is not the real battle going on here, it's all economic.
It's a funny thought on the surface, but the people working these scams are typically slaves, more or less. I'd rather go after their slavers than waste electricity to waste their time.
Even if you can't execute code from RAM, stack corruption and Return-Oriented-Programming (ROP) can still be a thing. It's just far more limited if you can't use ROP to set up regular code.
Half a loaf ....
It's a portmanteau but we call all the little sort of Starbucks "fauxbucks". You know the ones in gas stations, Target stores, etc.

Ask HN: How do you coax useful code from AI?
I spend a lot of time trying to get copilot and cursor to help me solve tedious problems. I can never get it to give me code that is anything remotely correct (in the "correctness" sense of the word.)

I think my problem is that I am "lazy", but I honestly have no idea how to prompt in a non-lazy way. I feel like if I had a specific algorithm in mind, for example, then I could just code it myself. Here is an example:

> i am building a distributed queue. i am using hashicorp memberlist to know when new nodes are added or removed. each node has a shard and replica number in its memberlist metadata. i am using hashicorp raft to set up replication.

> Currently, my memberlist only has a single member and raft is set up to bootstrap with itself as the only node. What logic do I need to write in the memberlist delegate to ensure nodes are correctly added to their shard? this should be reliable - the cluster should never be left in an unstable state, or a state where we attempt to process membership changes while a node is still in a candidate state.

What should I be doing instead?
I just had a look at the install of ancient NetBSD I have running on my Pocket386, and the X server in there (which is XFree86 3.x) does have a generic VGA driver that does 640x480 at 16 colors just fine. I'm not sure what the "default settings" would be in this context since X that old doesn't even start without a proper XF86Config.
If it's not true, it serves as a good example of why journalists should report on all alleged crimes without hiding information from the public: when you have a system where people know that certain allegations will not be reported for privacy, or preserving the peace, or any other reason, it creates a situation where a random baseless accusation appears to have as much public evidence behind it as a true accusation might.

The issue is not what Nokia did with it, but the presence of the functionality.

The binning and other features were enabled (poorly or not isn’t part of the discussion) by a chip that could do about 1 billion pixels per second; that’s the issue; Apple doing it 12 years later and hyping it is what I was commenting on.
This brings to mind something I've wondered about for a while. Sunrise on the shortest day of the year is earlier than sunrise for several days after it.

Sunset on these days after the shortest day is of course even later than sunset of the shortest day.

On the beautiful image of the OP, you can see that after dawn of December 21, dawn continues to get later over the next few days.

In my area, sunrise on 12/21/2024 was 6:54am, and it will continue to get later until 1/8/2025, when it is at 6:59am.

Length of day on 12/21/2024 is 9 hours, 54 minutes, and length of day on 1/8/2025 is 10 hours, 2 minutes.

Searching the web, I haven't found an explanation for this that "clicks" for me as both intuitive and rigorous. Any thoughts or pointers on this?
The demand is higher in the morning and opening a place costs a large amount of wages.
Ever since RTO I bill my time commuting to/from the office. I can WFH and did so for years. So they can pay for it or fuck off.
There were a lot more interesting conversation on twitter at the time.

Seriously, I haven't worked on this in a long time (I'm Chad) and I'm very impressed by the changelog! Wouldn't have ever thought it'd run DOOM. ;) (and the use of OS/2 for medium model is clever too)
Pretty pricy through: any dessert cafes that you think provide good value?
Events like this remind me of Apple’s slide at the iPad announcement. It had street signs labeled “technology” and “liberal arts” and they discussed the intersection between the two.

It can seem like a bunch of hippie crap but it really emphasised that we need more than just technology and engineering (and business engagement metric bean counters) driving decisions.

So much incredible technology behind the scenes and for what? This shit?

We need people with more perspective and humanity in the driving seat.
meta probably aims at people getting intimate (as in talking to a friend or family member) to get the usual outcome - getting data that will made ads more accurate. There's nothing positive about that at all.

Does "one device" mean "one device at a time, can revoke and change devices as you change machines" or "one machine, ever, and then re-buy?"

I assume the former, and I haven't encountered the latter since the 2000s, but just checking.
I still have to get up, get ready for work, and then head in.

I can do that to the amount I need to in about 15 minutes WFH, but it takes much longer if I'm going into the office.
What "destination" is that? It gets shipped to another country where it's dumped.

This. I used to spend time researching more premium purchases. Now either the quality of the brands I love has diminished, their prices have skyrocketed, or there are too many players thanks to the ease of standing up e-commerce that I fall back to the mid-range thing. This is especially true with clothes.
As a german, we do "collection" well. Recycling(of plastics)... not that much.
10 years is way too low for these crimes.
