Do you have a link to this experiment? I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Studies referenced in the non-24 wikipedia page suggest natural circadian rhythms typically range from 24-25.5 hours for people not getting external cues.

I have a older Intel S2600CP dual Xeon board now, which still works fine, but is a huge SSI-EEB board and draws like 90W mostly idle.

I think most of my use-case could be covered by one or more mini pcs, since I mostly run stuff like Home Assistant and other small things in containers. But for storage I'm not sure what makes sense now. I went with zraid2 back then (in 2015) because I already had four of the 3TB disks, so purchasing two more was worth it for the cost and extra parity drive.

But now I'm not sure if ZFS is the right choice. I think now you can expand pools with more disks, in theory anyway, but I never tried it.

I don't know what options I should consider, and why. Unraid for example looks promising, since you can just keep adding disks.

Realistically most of what I have on the server is replaceable, I really only care about personal photos/videos/documents.

If I am replacing hardware to lower power consumption/electricity cost, spending lots of money to do so does not really make much sense. I would very much like to get 90W+ of heating power out of my home office though, it's noticeably cooler in the room if I turn off the server and other computer(s). Less spinning disks and less hardware would help with that part, but other than making the office cooler I don't think I would save that much money (initially anyway).

The disks I have are from 2015, so probably better to make a choice for hardware/disks now than having to emergency purchase one or more of them to replace failing ones.
I recently asked a question and was reminded about a strange behavior where people answer in comments.

On Reddit the friction for giving any answer is very low. The consequence is you have to wade through unhelpful and vitriolic comments more often they you'd wish. Dad Jokes are obligatory.

Here on HN, comments are on-topic or related tangents, with the occasionally risked bon mot.

This comment might even be like a question on SO, evoking--Is there even a question here? OK...

Are there disincentives on SO to giving answers?

You are right, I was referring to "malloc-like" allocators (i.e. for variable-size blocks). It would be a good idea to benchmark them.

Tell HN: Software people are quite interesting
Before current company I worked for xxx company for like 1.5 months and their revenue was 25K usd per month.

Founder was very much satisfied with their product that they do absolutely nothing to improve their product.

They had just one developer working on the product, one to maintain their wordpress website, one tester, two sales/support guys.

It is his golden goose. He gets like 15-18k profits every month which he spends on either buying farm land and/or depositing in FD’s.

He built that software himself 14 years ago, probably the lead developer before his team abandoned him.

He claims to be highly technical with sales people requiring coding expertise to join their team.

He got one trusted lieutenant who joined him 9 years ago from a WITCH company. Whatever founder says his lieutenant agrees.

They were operating out of a 3BHK apartment in the 4th floor of a quiet residential neighbourhood.

Complementary lunch was part of our perks. Every 3-4 years, founder takes his employees on an international trip - Thailand which is 3 hours flight.

Their competition was innovating ahead with modern features and good looking UI yet this guy, the founder showed little-to-no interest in modernising their product.

They are still waiting and reminding their customers to pay up, I honestly don’t know why they still keep paying but they do and the founder is content in how him and his software is doing.

For him, growth means the compounding effect of money in his bank account.

I think this article, and the general reaction to this trend online completely misunderstands what's going on. this isn't some depressive conservative neutrality and lack of conviction, it's a conscious rejection of the blaring in-your-face marketing excite-o-sphere that we've all been herded into over the last 70 years. the real sad thing is that people think bright colours = happiness, not that some kids are being dressed more like their grandparents might have been.
OK, sure. Or, we just say that for academic purposes AI generated content is plagiarism.

There has always been content written by experts that you could copy and turn it in as your own work. That was not allowed before, so I don't see why we would start accepting it now just because that expert is digital.

If people are getting away with it in high school, then we need to fix it there, not redesign college to accept behaviors and work that are already academically unacceptable.
In a US election, you will find candidates from the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. You will also find candidates from the Constitution Party, the Communist Party (really!), the Green Party, and others.

It's just that nobody but the Democrats and Republicans win major races. Others could - it's allowed - but they don't. The "first past the post" system is at least partly responsible for the US settling into two overwhelmingly dominant parties.

>"Won't someone think of young men!" is a point that won't travel far because the world is owned and ruled by men, young and old

If you demonize all current generation men in such a reductionist radical fashion, because of a handful of bad apples of men from previous generations, why are you surprised men now become radicalized against women and against society demonizing them? If someone would hate you and discriminante you based on an immutable characteristic like gender, wouldn't you be upset and vocal about it and look to vote for someone who promises to be on your side? How can we punish a group of people today for the original sin?

>Because healthcare is only effective when men are willing to accept it

Most men aren't in the luxurious position to be able to refuse care that's not even offered to them in the first place. Hence the 10x more homelessness and suicide than women. If you're a woman in risk of unemployment, homelessness or suicide, you have dozens of decent options of help available for you both public and private. If you're a man in the same situation, you have much fewer and of lower quality options or even none at all, or worse, a lot of "help" available for men is just telling them how they're priviledged and they need to shut up and man up and stop bitching about it.

You can't tell me with a straight face there is no gender discrimination and anti-male bias here.

>And the manosphere and machismo culture are part of the problem, not innocent symptoms.

No. The core problem is societal anti male bias and discrimination which you pointed out yourself in the first phrase. The manosphere is not the cause, it's the release valve of the pent up frustrations of an entire generation.
if you don't think this article is related to the Trump presidency

It is, presumably, and yet the only reason to presume it is is because of its topic and the timing of its publication. The article never mentions Trump, and does not contain any winking 'just like you-know-who' asides.

The first sentence even suggests the reason the author is publishing it now is because Hitler was appointed chancellor this month in 1933. Is that the real reason? Probably not - probably the inspiration was Trump - but that fact is couched deeply enough, and the article is interesting enough, that the article, imho, avoids turning into rage-bait.
Sure, and that's not exactly comfortable (maybe "reelected" shouldn't be a thing, idk). But if the people reelecting you are also the patients then the particular conflict of interest I'm worried about is not present.

That's all purely a social construct - e.g. almost nobody on the planet outside the US watches football (or Cricket in the UK/India, or ...). Football is a thing in the US because it is a thing in the US: You can bond with your peers around it. The objective technicalities of the sport itself have nothing to do with it.
And you skipped the "we don't actually know because Valve hasn't released any numbers" part. Basically they pulled the claim out of their ass.
I’d be very careful with this kind of comparison: Often the differences show up in weird places.

For example, I travel between two countries with similar lifestyles and consistently notice lower quality of goods in the country with the lesser-valued currency. It’s subtle enough that you might not notice: Smaller quantities, not quite as good as, fully assembled versus some assembly, etc. Modern industry has gotten really good at masking these changes, and local consumers just don’t know that it can be better.
I work in insurance. I won't pretend that we're saints, but the author here is seriously underplaying some of these factors.

1. The hurricane risk is the main driver of insurance costs. This risk has been underpriced for years. The next time a hurricane runs through Florida, check and see how many Florida-specific insurance companies go under.

2. Florida makes up 79% of homeowner's insurance lawsuits in the US, but only 9% of the claims. Yes, fraud prevention measures should be taken. But the scale of the problem is much larger than that.

3. If all of the current policies were sent to Citizens (the state insurer of last resort) and given their rates, Citizens would be losing billions of dollars.

The tone of this article makes it seem like the insurers are making a bunch of money in Florida. That is incorrect.
Manual assembly is indeed a common practice.

But it's skilled work, so it'll be paying skilled wages. And you need an inspection step - especially if you're working with BGAs and other difficult components. Presumably for $30 they're shipping out boards without doing a power-on test - which makes visual/x-ray inspection even more important.

And even when the assembly is manual, you've still got to get the right parts to the right assembly station at the right time. Can't be putting in a 5% 10k 0805 resistor if the design calls for 1%.

Even with manual assembly, if they're making a profit at the prices they're charging they must be running a very efficient operation indeed.

Sincerely, please fuck off into whatever other country seems more to your liking. Arguments like yours truly make me wonder if democracy is, in fact, merely a more plausibly deniable excuse to obtain and maintain power like in other more directly authoritarian forms of governance.
You don't see a moral error with a health insurance company going out of their way to more than double the claims they deny, not because it's ethical or necessary but because they find ways to do so legally and the motive is profit?

Nothing, in the same way that TSMC could cut Nvidia and OpenAI out.

Vertical integration is incredibly powerful, but it requires mastery of the whole stack.

Does Nvidia understand AI consumers the way OpenAI / Anthropocene does? Do they have the distribution channels? Can they operate services at that scale?

If they can truly do it all and the middlemen don’t add any unique value, Nvidia (or TSMC) can and should make an integration play. TBB I’m skeptical though.

They aren't forbidden. The voting system is set up so that any new party that enters will torpedo its allies. It's a winner-takes-all and first-past-the-post system, so if a new left party enters and takes 5% of the votes, the democrats will now lose everything. House. Senate. President. All of it.

I'm not getting the feeling that the article is trying to say it's a disgrace, but it's aimed at that it's a disgrace that the executives are getting all the money while the athletes sees basically none of that.

Reading around, it seems like the common opinion on it, but like everyone else, I too have somewhat of a bubble so might look different in other mainstream outlets I suppose.

GMKTec G3 is a very good N100 PC. It's not the smallest one and its SATA port is also M2, but its NVMe port is x2 instead of x1.

Another alternative is BeeLink's S12 series, which accept 2.5" SATA drives and M2 NVMe drives. However, the NVMe port on these systems are x1.

Both are silent (for active cooling), dependable systems, but not as silent and small as a passively cooled RPi5.

> Poland is a wrong example, it had almost 30 years on uninterrupted growth and has better infrastructure and services than the nearby Germany.

Not wrong, but I think that when you're growing and building things tend to be "easy(-ier)" than later on when you're maintaining. When you don't have anything it's easy to say "We need X.", but it's harder to justify to folks "We need to maintain X."—there's not as much ribbon cutting for maintenance projects:

If there's no highway bridge over some chasm, building the bridge can be obvious. When there's a bridge already there spending (tens/hundreds of) millions to rehabilitate or rebuild it will get more pushback.

China had little infrastructure and has built a whole bunch (e.g., high speed rail) over the last few decades: I'll be curious to see how things are in fifty or so years when they have to rebuild things.
