Sorry I don’t understand the question and how it relates to my comment? If you’re currently writing on an eisenhower matrix, if that’s what you’re asking, I suppose you’d have to evaluate for yourself which options place where on the two axes in relation to your own life. Probably AA takes preference for you, we often frame things in a way leaning toward what we already chose haha :)
One downside: wheat has gluten and a lot of folks are gluten intolerant to degrees (from mild gassiness to full blown celiac).

I got my first programming job in 2008, seemingly right before the wave of hiring freezes. I dodged the bullet back then, but I wish I could compare that time to the past two years. That said, it feels very rough out there. Just last week, one of my LinkedIn connections shared a Venmo link, asking for help to pay bills after being laid off, struggling to find another job, and running out of savings. Be thankful if you have a job.
wasn't this implied by him already? (/s)
My company is a division in a political minefield that is the greater organization. In particular, my company is filled with people who have spent their entire careers as rank and file workers with their heads down and never had to develop the political savvy to steer through the minefield.

I don't know how many times I've told, and to how many coworkers, if the enemy is going to hang himself, stop talking and give him more rope.
It's interesting how this phenomenon is completely nonexistent in Europe. On none of my EU phone numbers, in 15 years, i have ever received a telemarketing call apart from about 1-2 calls a year from phone company itself who usually tries to push some new tariff plan on me. Why?
I cooked a hard drive recently because the HP board used the same connector with different pin-outs to another standard SATA power cable.

I got very lucky because it was possible to desolder the flash RAM from that HDD board to another one and get the drive working again.
Not a good example, as the de-facto logging interface for Java was SLF4J.

Though I myself prefer Log4J2, as I'm already using Log4J2 as the concrete logging implementation.
This reminded me of that classic Eric and Tim Show episode "Prices" [1].

>I can stock up on 900g bags of pasta on sale for CAD$1.25 (~US$0.87). Used to be CAD$1.00 was the good deal, but c’est la vie.

I remember it being available at $1.00 quite consistently, but I can't recall seeing it even at $1.25 during 2024. Maybe for the 750g bags.

Also damn, CADUSD has been sliding further... (Why does Google's chart show a giant temporary spike on Dec 21?)

>Canada grows a ton of pulses, mostly for export, so they’re cheap here

And yet it seems like what I see on shelves is mostly imported... ?

You can sign up to be on the waiting list for a lucky Panda $2 note, with a nice red envelope and a serial number starting with '888'.

I mean, it's a nice gesture, and maybe annoying the heck out of certain Presidents.

The price for this $2 note + red envelope is >$10.
I assume the parent comment is sarcasm because any library estimating gender, age, and race from an image of a face is just as ridiculous.
In the video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ1TIYxm1vM he never demonstrates how he tears them apart after mentioning that they're perforated. To me, it all looks like a 4x1 sheet of $2 bills that you can buy off the US mint. The video interview all sounds like a joke, and he says at some point "No, no it's all a joke". Unless it's a deposition, it's all based on trusting his character and given his latest speaker appearances, I have doubts about his character.

I fail to see how your recurrent relativization of the existence of ADHD has anything to do with effective psychotherapist treatment of clear symptoms.

Also, do you have reliable sources for this poisoning hypothesis?

Java historically has had so many logging frameworks it needs logging framework adapters to deal with the problem that in any significant program you will end up with dependencies that log in incompatible ways :/

It probably has the most complex and messy logging story of any language - but at least the solutions are very mature at this point.
> get online and check on aunty jennie

I wonder if it's still an issue: checking aunt Jennie with text or audio is nowhere comparable in terms of data to checking 2K video news or scrolling tiktok for FOMO. Yes there was cutoffs during mass events in 2010', our 2g/3g infra couldn't keep up with people calling each others, and sure the network is faster now. However the next WTC will be another level if we all live-video check aunty Jenny. It seems way too few people understand (as other said) the bandwidth is not an infinite ressource.

And don't start me with ads bloating most website rendering them unusable on a low speed network. I have the chance to live in Europe and the cookie banner is a neat warning of a cumbersome website.

We used to do check news with channels' cable TV and radio (grandpa' grumble) and there was no "network problem".
I liked Imgur when it came up as a free, simple image hoster. It still kinda works as that.

This is the first time I've seen a blog-type entry there. I understand the appeal, though, as it doesn't even require an account to create it.
Maybe they were suggesting canola as a better alternative?

I think vegetable oil is often soy/palm.
my favourite at the moment is "knock knock Hi" from Will and Kristin Flanary (aka Dr. Glaukomflecken).
The high end of tech work certainly feels more extreme than what this news report is discussing, which says it's now 6 months from 5 months during the most recent boom. To add only 1 month from the boom time doesn't jive with my own experience.

Prior to 2022 I was advance quitting if a job wasn't good enough, didn't treat me (workers in general) right, etc. Now, I expect a year long search if I am forced out.
Pasta is also good.

For rice, something like parboiled rice, or brown rice, or enriched white rice will be more nutritious than some other kinds.

Oh, for beans, in addition to chick peas, lentils, and the various colors, there's also chana daal from an Indian grocery. (Which I'm told isn't the same thing as yellow split pea, though some stores might say it is.)
Oh, it goes through American home walls. Those aren't real after all.

to clarify, it does scale better out of the box. a clustered websocket setup where reconnections can go to a different machine and resume state works our of the box. its a LOT of work do do that in nodejs. I've done both.
Really? I can assure you that everything I said was my own writing.

I did use Miss Chatty (ChatGPT 4o) as a research assistant, and cited my discussion with her in my comment.

If you don't mind, I am curious to learn what signals in my comments led you to think that I am an AI. :-)

Maybe there is something you know about me that I don't know!
My main concern is people having to skip meals and kids facing developmental issues due to malnutrition. I get that the idea of feeding people something like Soylent isn’t exactly appealing, but if we could bring the cost down to nearly free for those in need, it could be a really effective safety net, (maybe not Soylent as it exists now but a product like that).
Thanks for checking it out! Glad you found it interesting.
I live in Berlin, and the therapist I found was experienced, i.e. very familiar with common patterns and psychological problems (long term depression caused by adverse life effects, masking, rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction) in late diagnosed adults.

Working with that person was invaluable for me.

That said, I met them through a personal referral of another ADHD friend and have met several other psychologists before in life with whom I never clicked.

Online services should make finding a good therapist easier accessible than ever before.

All as I can say is if it doesn't feel right, it isn't. No biggie. Keep looking and seek out another person.

You'll know if you found someone with whom it works cause there'll be clear progress early on.
Synchronization is not backup, learn the difference. For backup I'd choose a cold storage based on spinning disks, these things hold for 20 years unpowered with no problem. No SSDs - these fail after few years in cold storage.
Cable systems are not cheap. The biggest issue with cables is the cores dry out. Hydraulic doesn't have to be slow by any means and they dont just seep down unless you blow a seal on the cylinder. Even then it would take an hour under a full load to move a story. Thats a lot of hydraulic fluid to displace. Hydraulic elevators are also prone to issues with cold temperature as the oil can become quite viscous when not in regular use.

Magic links have rough edges, Passkeys have black holes.

> On this blog I speak only for myself as someone experienced in usable security and website authentication.

This caveat near the top speaks to my point, if you're a developer and you understand what an SSH key is, you'll take to Passkeys no problem. But if you aren't, there are many foot guns abound and vendor lock-in you won't notice until it bites you.

I work for an auth company, I use a Yubikey and Passkeys all the time, in a business context where there is an IT admin to go to when there is a problem, I think Passkeys will do great. They'll really improve the average security posture of an organization.

But I would dread having to try and recover a Passkey with Google, who would I even talk to? I just had to explain what a VPN was to my parents, I would not be excited to try and explain to them how Passkeys work.
>I don't understand why people even pay attention to the CPI. There are direct measures of how much money is being created, we can all just use that rate instead.

Because it's more obvious how one might try to use CPI to project future expenses.

Home Wifi is what it is, but this is a big selling point for things like offices. The less Wifi stations that can "hear" each other, the better for all of them.

The way this is attempted with 2.4/5GHz deployments is to put an AP in every room and turn the power way down, but this only helps a little bit.
Ask HN: What industries need software and automation and are untapped?
Question as title.

We are in 2025. Has every software opportunity for a business been addressed?

Basically, which industries that would benefit from software and automation, are yet to be realized?

If so, why is this the case? Is it regulatory? Or something else?
Why not just dump a core, rather than going to all that effort?
In what way? You are making a huge assumption, so you are the one that should bring up some proof. Proving a negative is always harder/impossible.
This.

My favorite experience was trying to file taxes on Linux in Germany.

Turns out the backend on ELSTER had written code that if Chrome and Linux then store to test account. It wasn't possible to file taxes on Linux for over 6 months until they fixed it when they went online as a mandatory state-funded web service. I can't even comprehend who writes code like that.

Took me also a very long while to explain to the BKA that I did not try to hack them, and that they are just very incompetent people working at DATEV.
They're all very expensive systems that lock you into contracts. No one outside of their offices are allowed to service them and if you dont like it, you can buy a controller overhaul from any of the other big guys. Thyssen had some horrible controllers in the 90s and upkeep on those flaky things was criminal. Not a duopoly, more like a lightbulb cartel.

There are a massive amount of overstays on H2A & H4 visas. They didn’t arrive here illegally, but their current status is very often illegal as they can’t switch jobs or extend beyond a season without a cumbersome renewal process, often which requires leaving the country for at least 3 months.
Printf debugging is definitely OK, when that is the only tool available.

Other than that, people should spend time learning the ins and outs of their debugging tools, like they do for the compiler switches and language details.

Additionally, when having the option to pick the programming language, it isn't only the syntax sugar of the grammar, or its semantics that matter, it is the whole ecosystem, including debugging tools.

Personally I rather have a great debugging experience than less characters per line of code.
I’ve been living on less than $40k a year my entire life. I’ve spent years driving around the world, snowboarding, hiking, camping.

I work the least amount possible to make it happen.

When my parents were getting close to retirement Dad an I ran the numbers a hundred different ways. I think the experts said they’d need $100k a year, and no matter what we did we couldn’t get it over $60k. Now in retirement it’s less than $50k.

I don’t know how people spend so much
Show HN: Kotaemon - open-source/self-hosted web-app to chat with academic papers
Hi HN, recently our team at https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon/ has been working on a public demo to showcase the new advanced citation features in our open-source RAG application:

https://cin-model-kotaemon.hf.space/

We’re excited to share a free web app that lets users explore top daily machine learning (ML) papers on Arxiv (via the HuggingFace API) and upload their own Arxiv papers to get LLM-assisted summaries, mind maps, and answers to questions based on the content.

Some notable features:

- Instant Summaries & Mind Maps: Generate concise summaries and visual mind maps for any Arxiv paper.

- Transparent Citations: Verify LLM-generated answers with clear, evidence-backed citations. Citations can be highlighted directly in the in-browser PDF viewer.

- Flexible Citation Options: Choose between highlights and inline citations. Plus, select any sentence in the AI-generated response to see its supporting source from the original paper.

- Multi-Paper Analysis: Compare, contrast, and compose summaries from multiple papers simultaneously.

- Complex Question Solving: Use Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning mode to break down and solve complex questions step-by-step.

- (And most important of all) Customizable & Self-hosted: Easily self-host your private app via the free HuggingFace Space hosting feature. You can securely configure your own LLM and upload your private document collections.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and recommendations as we continue improving this tool.

Check out the demo and happy hacking!

Random "early web Simpsons memory": in 1995 when I was taking a course to learn HTML, I had a great time browsing the web with "super-fast" ISDN (this was amazing at the time), and downloaded the Itchy & Scratchy song, in .au format. The filename was itchscra.au -- pretty sure I remember this because I spent so long trying to embed the audio into my web page and make it automatically play, which I don't think I ever got working haha

You’re describing low value, low recurrence sales. Those are numbers, not relationship, games, with high churn at that.
You can even go back to the 90s and promises that NATO made that it would not expand to eastern Europe

And I encourage you to do so, because if you look at the actual event protocol it simply doesn't support what you're saying.

The bottom line is that whatever was said verbally at the time was understood by all participants to be part of the brainstorming process in the course of negotiations of what would eventually become the 2+4 Agreement. And simply put, this particular proposal did not make it into the agreement. As one notable observer put it: "It was tough, everyone knew that only what is written in black and white in the contract counts."

That's why Gorbachev insists (in an interview you can easily find) that even though he felt that NATO expansion was against the "spirit" of the negotiations, there were no statements about NATO expansion that rose to the level of a "promise". We also have Shevardnadze's equally stringent denial (per the sibling commenter), and strong counterweighing factors, such as Russia's greenlighting of the first round of ascensions (PL, CZ, HU) in the 1997 CFE Treaty, which by itself renders the "broken promise" theory unequivocally moot. And some notable language in the NATO-Russia Founding Act signed in the same year as well.

The war was at least partly instigated by our refusal to promise to keep Ukraine neutral and out of NATO.

That's a severe misreading of the article you cite in association with this statement. Simply put, that's not the language of the article, and that's not an implication it makes.

How would you feel about Russia making trade deals with Mexico, sponsoring pro-Russia politicians,

So far so good. Whatever one may feel about Mexico taking that direction -- it is after all a sovereign state. And while such circumstances would certainly be a matter of concern to the US, the idea that they amount to something in response to which the US would need to launch a full-scale invasion of Mexico (or that such a move could possibly be beneficial the US in any way) would, of course, be seen as batshit insane.

... and selling advanced military gear to them?, ... How would you feel if Mexico was attacking us with cruise missiles supplied and operated by Russia?

If this happened only after the US launched an invasion of Mexico as plainly stupid and unprovoked as Putin's invasion of Ukraine -- all rational observers would agree that Mexico would of course have a perfect right to defend itself -- indeed, "by any means necessary".

Including the procurement of advanced military gear of virtually any conventional description, from whichever source it could find.

It's sort of random. My intent is to focus on the 8086, but someone asked about the 386 so I looked at that a bit. Then I saw the Navajo Pentium rug in a museum so I figured I should look at a real Pentium to compare. And then I wondered if I could find the FDIV bug. So one thing leads to another. I don't think I'll be able to go much beyond the Pentium with an optical microscope, though.
Do we really need to allow Industrial use of RF across the whole spectrum though?

Maybe we need a new definition of public use at “reasonable EIRP” without the industrial heating and whatever other weird uses of RF are out there.
Python's module loading mechanism is thread-safe by default, and module-level variables are effectively singletons. This would suffice:

if _connection is None:
_connection = create_connection()
return _connection
