> Why spend years reinventing the wheel when others already did the hard work that they won't be able to replicate in the first place?

You clearly haven't spend any time learning about the SerenityOS project and don't seem to have any clue about why Andreas started SerenityOS in the first place since your suggestions completely contradict why it was created.

Why are you suggesting using 3rd Party software when the entire purpose of SerenityOS is to not use any external software and build everything from scratch? The goal isn't to save time by reusing existing software, of course they know that using existing software would save time recreating it, but that was never the point. They're creating an entirely new OS from the ground up.

Andreas has created 100s of hours of YouTube content showing building different parts of SerenityOS, which IMO is one of the best resources for showing how to build different parts of an OS from scratch [1].

> I also hardly doubt the SerenityOS people don't have any expectations to get at least some adoption, they're wasting their time with their current strategy.

Since you don't seem to know anything about SerenityOS your doubts and thoughts of its developers are meaningless, the goals and purpose of SerenityOS have been well documented. It was never meant to be an OS for mainstream adoption, just an OS by hackers for hackers. They've built great software and a great community where everyone gets to work on whatever parts they're interested in and have fun being apart of and contributing to a shared creation of work together - that's not wasting time.

Ask HN: Has Anyone Else Felt Like Reddit Moderators Are Too Powerful?
I recently posted on r/bangalore, and within a few hours, my post gained a lot of traction with many comments. However, it was suddenly removed without any clear explanation. I made sure to review the community guidelines beforehand to ensure my post was within the rules.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with moderation? It’s a bit frustrating when posts are removed without feedback, especially when they seem to be well-received by the community.

Basically, it is your moral obligation to donate everything you have, except for what little you need to survive. If we put that essay into this context, then not donating would indeed be violence, such as not saving a drowning child just because you don't want to.
The MSRP has gone up, though - the 1GB Pi 4 was introduced at $35. The cheapest Pi 5 is $50 (albeit with 2x the RAM).

Secondarily, mini-PCs are much more readily available at better prices now, which makes the Pi look more expensive in comparison.
Coming from AngularJS then Angular then Vue, a bit of Svelte, which I didn't like, to React.
I tried React before and hated it.

Yes, it's not perfect but right now it's pretty good.
I like composables, there are a few gotchas to get used to, but that's everywhere, when in Rome.

Vue is better IMHO, but doesn't have the graphql client I require and there is more momentum in the React ecosystem right now. More innovation is happening in the React ecosystem than elsewhere.

Angular is still stuck in the past. Ngrx as the only state management library, full of boilerplate and the annoying rxjs. One doesn't simply with Angular.

Svelte is too barebones for my taste. Manually doing form validation and rendering for instance. If it had a larger ecosystem it would be great, but it doesn't. It for the purists who like reinventing the wheel.
Of course it has other good uses as well, it's fast, much faster than React.

When I used React, I use high level libs where I don't have to manually do stuff. But when I do it comes naturally, it's a simple learning process.

I prefer logic in templates from Vue over the brackets and conditions of React. I like Angular's templating and 2way binding.
I don't like Reacts aliases, like having to write className instead of class.

But in the end productivity is what matters for me, and React is pretty productive and has a large ecosystem. But finding the right packages is a journey.

React SSR is a horror story.
Vue's especially with Quasar is a love story with butterflies and perfume. Great tooling.

It's good enough and I'm actually enjoying to work with it, maybe because it's so new to me and learning new things makes me happy (like when you're young you're happy because there is so much new stuff constantly, which studies found that it makes people happy).

That they removed the ability to embed it without compilation from v19 on is a very bad move though.
The current (expensive) RPi is almost never the right choice. For IoT you have Espressif boards and for higher performance you have mini PCs. The main advantage of RPi was its cost, that's why it got popular. Now that the main factor is gone, the rest like the ecosystem etc. is not that important anymore.
However end result is often the same.

By what metric?

In India, it is exceptionally rare for any services (gov’t and commercial) to use email address. They use mobile.

One of many examples [https://web.umang.gov.in/landing/department/aadhaar.html]

That accounts for 1.3+ billion distinct accounts in 2023 right there.

Do you think those folks in Asia and Africa sharing mobile devices have email accounts they can use instead?
$50/yr means you make up the entire cost of the RPi in a little more than 2 years if you’re running it as a home server of some sort, for example.

Others have already told you that talking to a lawyer is still a good idea. If I may offer a personal story that illustrates that that is _really_ a good idea:

While I did my Bachelor's in CS, I was employed by a university (not the one I attended, but one that the project I worked on moved to after the Prof in charge switched universities) as a "student worker" type deal. My job was essentially a Jr. SWE.

A friend of mine also worked on that project, but he was ahead a bit further in his studies, so he already had a BSc degree, while I hadn't. Universities being universities, this meant that his hourly pay was a tiny smidge more than mine (think 50 cents/hour or something like that). Neither of us was paid very well, we both came out to about 10-12 €/hour.

After 6 months my contract was up for renewal. Along with the renewal, they included a modest pay raise to my friend's level. I naively thought that that meant they appreciated my work or something like that. All went well until the _next_ renewal was up.

The HR person responsible for student workers noticed that my "raise" had been in error because they assumed I had gotten my degree as well. None of their paperwork that I signed originally mentioned that. As "proof" that I "should have known" that the raise was in error, they sent along a scanned copy of a copy of a copy of an internal "wage schedule" that I somehow should've been aware of.

Their solution was to hand me a "new" backdated contract with lower hourly wages and told me to sign that to "just quickly fix this error" and told me to just pay back what I had "erroneously" received (signed contract stating the contrary nonwithstanding).

I politely declined because that's not how I think employment works. As a response they said "ah well, don't worry, we'll just take it out of your next pay check", which they did (without me signing anything).

At that point I called my mom and told her the full story. She immediately went "Alright, how do you want to play this? Should we talk to them or do you want to pull out the big guns?". I was sufficiently pissed off that I told her I want the big guns, she told me the info for my families' "lawsuit insurance" (The German term is "Rechtsschutzversicherung", basically cheap-ish insurance to help you pay for a lawyer in cases like this) and called them after we talked.

I called up a lawyer in town that specialized in employment law, had an appointment with him to tell him the story, he went "I can see roughly 4 or 5 reasons that they can't take that money from you, let me write a letter to them and we'll see how it goes".

The end result was that the university in my next paycheck included the amount they had initially reduced my previous check by, my higher-wage contract was renewed, and we never spoke of any of that again. I didn't get an apology or anything from the HR admin who had clearly messed up my contract and was probably trying to cover her ass, but that's fine with me.

Point being: talk to a lawyer, even just to get some advice or to have them write out a nice letter as to why what they're doing is not OK.

I wouldn't. I bought all RasPi boards from 1 to 4, which served me for tinkering and as media player, then realized I could do the same for cheap on a much faster mini PC or unlocked Chromebox, and when I need GPios there's a good choice of cheaper/faster and more open boards from other vendors.
It's not like saying that. 7 hours is very similar to 8 hours, and lots of people don't even sleep 8 hours (I don't).

What's the point of wasting time with a very poor analogy? It's actually like saying if 2200 calories is a normal day of food, 1925 calories is not like starvation.

That makes sense. Now, with that in mind, a reasonable response to OP's request would involve just saying "no". Maybe even politely explain why, but that isn't required.

Often uneconomical to set up pick and place for just 20 boards. Quite often the wizardry is a little middle-aged Chinese lady who wields a vacuum tweezer like a chopstick, from 9am to 9pm six days a week.
Since anecdotes seem to be data points in this thread, I would say that as a non-American, the online public support for incident horrifies me and makes me think that this is a symptom of a collapsing society. It is also horrifying that so many Americans online seem to be bloodthirsty for more. Makes me not want to associate with them.
Which one did you go for? I have a raspberry pi 4 with 8gb RAM which is fine for now but may be on the look out for a replacement in the coming years.

There's _some_ tension with insulation there, though really at this point it's largely surmountable with triple-glazing etc. Small windows in older buildings are to some extent a legacy of that; when you were working with single glazing it was really a very big problem.

But big windows are technology-driven rather than fashion-driven to an extent; most people like them, so they'll probably stick around.

Absolutely. I agree on airlines but when it comes to accommodation I'm fed up of:

- Contact us for rates

- 120x120px pictures taken on a potato in 2012 (B&Bs)

- JOIN OUR LOYALTY PROGRAMME (the rates we're showing you only apply if you sign up ! )

- "Prices (2021)"

- 15 different implementations of the calendar to select check-in and check-out dates

- Numerous different payment processors, some a bit dodgy looking

- Being redirected to some badly white labelled "synergix.net" booking site
There is a whole market now of portable monitors that are intended to be used as a secondary laptop monitor when travelling, or as a bigger monitor for a switch or steam deck.

I've been toying the idea of replacing my aging macbook with one + an M4 mac mini - the situations where I need to use the computer on battery are relatively rare, and it'd be substantially cheaper.
Too bad the heating coil wasn’t DRM paired with the dryer, forcing you to have to contact an official repair shop, we could have gouged you for way more than $20.

Agreed, we kept the Reiser filesystem namesake and attribution in the kernel even after his murder. Didn't adversely affect the project or the views of Reiser himself.
I'm in a similar situation, except it's closer for 4 years for me. My experience is completely different to yours, the options on booking.com/agoda/expedia/trip are usually garbage compared to what I can get on Airbnb. I do book for a month at a time, anything shorter I do just book a hotel though. My experience is in Africa and in Asia, no experience in the US and I only used it in Europe back in 2014 or so.

> Case in point, I am in a Vietnamese city right now. I looked airbnb and the places I see average $500-700/month.

I was in Da Nang for a month at the start of 2024, paid $450 for a month, it was much better than any hotel I saw for a similar price. The owner lived downstairs and invited me to drink with him a lot.

> Instead, I did a short walk around the coworking space I rented at and found a comparable place for $200/month. Big Plus: I got to see the place BEFORE placing the non-refundable one month rent. The place is literally across the coworking space (just have to cross the street).

Yeah, you can get cheaper places, but I always worry that if something goes wrong the owner won't care or they could try and scam me. You also need to book a short-term stay first, then go looking around, you need to move all your stuff a second time, I just can't be bothered.

I don't know, for me personally, the value that Airbnb provide for the cut they take seems worth it. I've had a few problems with Airbnb, and their support has always helped me out. I think people are _really_ assholes to them or something, because every time the person on the phone thanks me for being so understanding or whatever, even though I don't think I am.
Still going strong.

Yes, legally requiring open APIs and interop beyond X users is the best way forward. There is some tension with allowing product changes and deprecating old APIs though. Maybe something like mandate versioned APIs, and keep old versions around for at least 2 years after newer version is released.
I couldn't believe it, so I tried myself with GPT-4o, and the result was the same. Interestingly, the answer is correct when asked which hand is being used in an image. For watches, it doesn't even notice when hands are incorrect.

So, we're still at the level of "wow, there are 5 fingers." Even asking for an image of someone writing with their left hand is challenging - the AI was trained on datasets dominated by right-handed people and wasn't taught to generalize.

My take on that is the following:

Why does this happen?

It replicates similar patterns without deep understanding - like someone trying to "write" Japanese by merely copying shapes.

Can it be improved?

Yes. Through reinforcement learning and other techniques like generative adversarial networks. At least for hands, since we have models that can distinguish left from right, we can use this for training.

Why isn't it being improved?

First, technical: Image generation is far more costly than text generation. It's easier to generate and evaluate text. By OpenAI's pricing, a 600x600 image costs about the same as 500 words. Moreover, there are many more ways to generate nonsensical images than gibberish text. Logical consistency is just one of many dimensions to optimize.

Second, incentives: While image generation is fun to play with, achieving production-quality results is challenging. Specialized tools exist, but they're narrow in scope. Putting more effort into it is burning money, as we are in the uncanny valley of a product.

In contrast, text is more general-purpose. Many people benefit from ChatGPT or Claude for editorial work. Software engineering uses the same models (I use them via Cursor) - so a general tool is also useful for professionals. While we can generate fun stories with LLMs, textual AI has already become a practical, powerful tool.

Detective Chief Inspector Karin Parke and Trainee Detective Constable Blue Coulson unravel a deadly conspiracy involving autonomous drone insects (ADIs). After the controversial journalist Jo Powers dies in an apparent suicide, forensic evidence reveals an ADI embedded in her brain. The investigation escalates as similar ADI-related murders occur, including that of rapper Tusk, targeted after social media backlash.

The detectives uncover a sinister "Game of Consequences" launched by hacked ADIs, where the most-mentioned person under the hashtag #DeathTo is killed daily. The situation spirals out of control when the ADIs are used to surveil citizens, and public engagement with the hashtag results in mass casualties. A manifesto from Garrett Scholes, a former Granular employee and hacker, reveals his motive: to expose societal cruelty and complacency.

Efforts to neutralize the hacked ADIs fail, resulting in the death of 387,036 people who used the hashtag, including a member of Parke's team. The fallout leaves Coulson presumed dead by suicide, though Parke later receives evidence that Coulson is alive and pursuing Scholes abroad, leaving the case ominously unresolved.
> but it can be tricky to configure properly on a name server.

I wouldn't say it is tricky with a good name server: for instance with bind just split the value into multiple quoted strings and it'll do the rest¹.

Though while it is well known, it doesn't seem to be well documented away from many forum posts discussing the matter: after a little searching I can't find reference to the issue in bind documentation or relevant RFCs. The RR format allows RDATA to be longer than 255 octets (RDLENGTH is an unsigned 16-bit value, not 8-bit) so presumably the limit is imposed by the zonefile format. The only reference to 255 octet limits in RFCs 1034 & 1035 is the length of a full name (with individual labels making up a name being limited to 63 octets).

Of course many UIs for editing zone files or other stored RR information, or other DNS management interfaces, might implement longer RDATA support in a worse way or not support longer RDATA values at all.

Airbnb will always side with the host if possible, because hosts are much more valuable to their platform than guests. I had a similar situation a couple years ago when Santa Cruz was hit with catastrophic flooding; despite providing them with plenty of evidence that the place I was trying to visit qualified for a refund, Airbnb refused to give me one (telling me I needed to get one from the host, who was also not obliging) in clear violation of their policies. They also later deleted a negative review I left detailing said interactions with the host as "off topic." Thankfully there's always the option to do a credit card chargeback, but such experiences make it pretty clear how little these platforms actually care about their customers.
