Cloud prices are already driven down by the fact that you can deploy with Google's cloud offerings.

Also, if you weren't going to use Google's offerings you probably wouldn't be down to buy their HW either :)

FWIW your PTSD with Tensorflow is shared by everyone at Google, it was just unavoidable because Google needed ML to be performant and they started by sacrificing devex for performance whereas Pytorch went ergo-first, performance later. In retrospect a prescient move by Meta, but now making the high performance stuff ergonomic is proving out for Google via XLA and JAX.
Since your phone is rooted, how do you manage banking apps and other things that don't like working on a rooted device? How much work is involved in getting those to work?
> do your colonoscopies early. It’s not a fun thing to do, but it can save your life

It's actually not that bad. I did it six months ago (at 51 y/o, never having done any before that), after reading an identical comment on HN saying to just go and do it.

I don't know about other countries but I could choose between no anesthesia at all, light one or full anesthesia. I went for the light one: you don't really fall asleep but you don't really remember either the silly things you say. After a few minutes (15 at most?) you're fully conscious again.

Zero polyps to remove and all crystal clear, doctor told me to come back for a checkup in 5 or 6 years.

So I confirm: just go and do it.
> Vulcanus is actually the least inspired, from a mechanics perspective.

I agree with that, but I also think that the huge mechanical divergence of the other planets is a bad thing. Like I said, building on other planets it really doesn't feel like Factorio any more... more some new game with Factorio graphics.
Again, the distinction I'm drawing is: 9/11 conspiracy theorists at least tried to present factual arguments for their claims. You haven't done so, and I don't think you ever will. (Insofar as your "claims" can even be hammered down -- they're incredibly vague.)

It's not a point in your favor that your flavor of conspiratorial thinking is so widespread despite its thin evidence base.

Fonts are kind of dumb. There's usually nothing actually weird going on. Ligatures are simple character substitutions. What the LIGSPACE is, most likely, is a spacing character added by the designer to align the characters in the ligature correctly. So, the LIGSPACE is just a character like any other and is nothing special. For example, when you hit a space bar, you are inserting a character which doesn't render anything because the designer didn't draw anything there. There's no extra logic.
> they've already removed the pause button.

This is utterly aggravating. That's literally the button I use the most by a factor of 10x. The center button behavior differs between apps and is inconsistent enough to drive me crazy. This just makes me want to live more exclusively inside a single app, and that app is without question going to be Jellyfin. I'm certainly not a normal consumer, but I'm just moving further and further away from what they want.
I suggest practicing on perfboards, TH and SMT. Chipquik has boards for about $2 each. Compare different solders (SAC305, K100LD, SN100C), temperatures, pad sizes, fluxes, etc.
Show HN: Playoffsgame.com – A Svelte(kit) Site
I made this last year but added some new things recently. It's a fantasy football game for the NFL playoffs, so it's highly relevant right now.

It's a static site using SvelteKit, Tailwind (partly via Flowbite), and Firebase.

Putting it out here mainly to share how much I enjoy Svelte's reactivity system. You can see it mostly in the lineup builder demo from the home page.

If you actually want to participate in a free pool and see how the rest of the site works after the playoffs start, use this link: https://playoffsgame.com/create-lineup?pool=the-goat

It's free, beginner-friendly, and you don't have to create an account so it's a quick. Though, you can log in for a couple extra features if you want.

Yes, very sad.

Two alternatives exist:

1. Syncthing-Fork (https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android) - Works just like the official app. Install from F-Droid or GitHub. Single developer but active.

2. Syncthing in Termux - Run the actual Syncthing program in Termux. Takes more setup but uses the standard version.

The fork is easier to use, while Termux needs more setup but gives you the standard Syncthing experience.
openSUSE does the same to boot on Raspberry Pi as well. Probably a few other distros as well.
I had a tip like this once. I ended up getting an old flat blade screwdriver and running the sharpish edge of it up and down the tip to remove the baked on crud, until I could see the dull shine of the plating all around. I then tinned the tip using flux bearing (electronics) solder and repeated until all the dry bits on the tip had gone and the tip was fully tinned. It seems to have been okay since then (quite a number of years).

I wouldn't want to do the above too often and it's probably not the recommended way, but I seem to have gotten away with it by not being too rough with the screwdriver. Potentially worth a try if the tip is a write off otherwise.

Once it is tinned, clean and tin the tip before turning off after every use (but you probably already know that).

I can imagine that getting different power would help. My biggest problem with Fulgora is that even on the largest islands, it's so cramped because you have to have huge amounts of accumulators to keep things up through the pauses between storms. The island where I built my Fulgora factory (not including scrap processing) is 50% filled with accumulators, and even then I still will lose power sometimes.

The opioid epedemic likely contributed as well. Opioids are not exactly conducive to dancing all night.

I can't say there is anything I'd point to that foreshadowed me doing this. I've got little personal interest in tattoos and haven't even got my ears pierced. I suppose I quite liked watching Inspector Gadget as a child, but I'm not sure how much influence that had. :)

As for what my mum thinks: she isn't a huge fan. I'd expressed my interest to her prior to getting it put in, and she wasn't entirely for it, but she honestly doesn't seem to care all that much and understands it is something I really wanted.

Yes, it is nonsensical and irrational as long as God is viewed as _just another x_.

But it makes sense if one does two things:

1. hold all the rest of existence to be as the light dust of the balance in worth compared to God

2. see what other parts of the Bible say about the troublesome passage in question.

> ... people thousands of generations removed who have no responsibility ...

If you grew up with this stuff, then you already know:

- even without Adam's representation, each of us has already committed the same error of thinking we know better than God, or holding something else as worth more to us than God

- rejecting the idea that someone could represent you before God would include rejecting the offer that Jesus could represent you and take your sentence and allow God to see you with Jesus' record.

My Samsung does that too. The most enraging thing though is they fucked up standard HDMI. Like, I can't even plug in my laptop or steam deck. It will show up fine for about two seconds, and then the TV cycles it off. It seems to be looking for some kind of two-way communication or signal which it never gets. But plugging a laptop HDMI in has worked on EVERY SINGLE TV I'VE HAD FOR MANY YEARS, maybe decades, yet it doesn't work on my new TV. Aggravating.

I've made comments on youtube that have not shown up. I know I've heard Louis Rossmann complaining about this as well.

At the time, it felt like there was a technical problem with the site not accepting my comment. But after reading your comment, in hindsight it absolutely feels like I was being AI-moderated.

Had I known, I would be more inclined to decide whether or not I want to further engage with a site that silently deletes my posts.

The digital bill of rights should definitely include some kind of mandatory feedback on why posts were moderated, ESPECIALLY if it was done using AI.

What does 'I can't seem to care about anything anymore' mean?

As a grey hair that burned out and flamed out with addiction I want to tell you to listen to yourself, but don't indulge yourself. Don't take action yet, figure yourself out a little more. When someone dies and you get depressed and feel like 'how can I go on without this person, the world feels empty now' people don't normally respond 'maybe if I blow up my life a little this will get better'. You figure out how to live without them. Maybe you need to figure out how to live WITH you a little before something drastic.

Have you lost passion? Or have you always delayed living/passion and you are ready for the delay to be over? Or is it you are now past the 'drastic life changes in 4 year blocks like elementary school, high school, college' and are now years deep into 'so this is my life' and don't have an upcoming new 4 year block where you shed old baggage and get another fresh start and you long for going back to that? Or???

It could have saved the early Mac from being an application-driven appliance and allowing average users to create graphical applications --- instead, that had to wait until HyperCard was released.

A notable example of that promise was an early game, _The Manhole_ (billed as "Where Alice would have gone if Alice had had HyperCard") --- the developers went on to make a little game on CD-ROM known as _Myst_.

For an alternate spin on how a competitor was developed:

I used to watch every single video regarding him.

I recall one where the interviewer asked him what was his biggest fear.

He replied something like "that I will be surrounded people who just kiss my ass and don't call me on my shit."

Man, at that point he was such a clear thinker. Truly a victim of his own success in the worst ways.

As far as my own unsubstantiated pet theory, he went publicly nuts right after the time he had to write a multi-billion dollar tax check. Humans are just not evolved for that. It should be part of tax withholdings to avoid that mental trauma.
Way to move those goalposts.
Just use Metcal fixed induction soldering irons. I just saw a power supply for an MX-500 for $100 on eBay and there is the hobbyist level PS-900 on sale new for under $300 on Amazon right now (which works just as well but might not last 30 years like an MX-500). Thermaltronics was started by some Metcal engineers after their patents expired so they’re a cheaper source of tips but I haven’t looked at their power supplies recently.

Unlike wellers and other soldering irons they don’t use a PID loop. They exploit the curry effect of the alloys their tips are made of and pump 2.6 MHz RF into the handle which keeps the tip heated the entire time with zero delay, even when contacting huge copper pours. The downside is that you have to change the (expensive) tips to change the temperature, but the upside is that it’s capable of delivering much more heat. Since the iron is capable of heating so fast, temperature control doesn’t really matter because it can melt the solder long before damaging nearby chips.

If you’re not using a solder oven, that’s the best option. It’s expensive but it’ll make a night and day difference to your soldering work. I’ve got a Metcal that’s almost 25 years old that still runs like a champ, is compatible with tips sold by Metcal and Thermaltronics, heats better than any soldering iron I’ve used since, and is easily repairable if it breaks.

Memories. I had an unfiltered 100Mbit ethernet port, with public static IP, in my dorm room at Manchester Uni in 2000 thanks to JANET. It was amazing compared to the ISDN line at home (...which until then I had thought was the bees knees). It took almost another 15 years before I could get something faster at home than what I'd had at uni (!)

It depends on the switching frequency, and not all SMPS run at a high enough frequency to justify ferrite. On top of that ferrite is effectively just iron in a ceramic.

The gap is controlled by the cross section of the core but also contributes to EMI. The sizing concerns are typically related to the latter problem.

An SMPS can easily use an external feedback circuit and may do so for certain types of applications. For mass manufactured low current applications you can often buy them with one integrated.

TL;DR key findings:
- bug fixes were >50% of the workload in many repos
- Cycle times varied greatly; some repos like Microsoft VSCode were < 3 hours while others like NodeJS were > 70 hours
- Higher technical debt unsurprisingly correlates with longer cycle and merge times
- Repos with high maintenance activity still have steady PR counts despite longer cycle times

The scale is both the best and worst thing about Satisfactory. On the one hand, once you finish a build it's really fun to admire everything you built. On the other hand, it's an exercise in utter tedium to actually build those things.

This is not helped by the fact that Coffee Stain has been aggressively anti-QoL as they developed the game. They absolutely refused to put any sort of blueprint feature or tool to speed up placing foundation for the longest time. Then when they finally added those things, the features sucked compared to what players had done with mods because they were so crippled. Then in 1.0 they finally grudgingly added slightly bigger blueprints, which are inexplicably locked behind high tier tech, and they actually make fun of the player for daring to want blueprints that don't suck. It's just baffling how hostile the developers have been to making the building part of the game (which is by far the biggest part) user-friendly.

I don't think people are as price sensitive as is commonly believed. I think consumers broadly don't have reliable signals except for price, so they prioritize what they know. Look at companies where brand is also a reliable indicator of product quality (in popular perception) like Apple or Louis Vuitton. When there's other signals, consumers are frequently willing to prioritize them over price.

Unless you have a remote with the magical "TV" button and you only have to teach (i.e. grandma) to press that one when the TV channels don't appear.

Not sure if this would work with cable boxes though, as they might get separated from the default TV input (as in, scanned channels) but THIS is something they should make smarter (learning the default input and assigning it to the TV button)

I'm surprised they wrote the policy so explicitly. Those making these bizarre demands clearly believe themselves superior to the outgroups they dehumanize.

What would they do without some demographic to denigrate and use as a crutch for propping up their egos? They might find themselves angry with the people actually in charge, and we can't have that can we ;). No, safer to unleash the bots and let them run wild with the division and polarization to keep people busy.
I don't. I have a roll of lead-free that works OK, but I got it so long ago that I don't know. I think it's an off-brand that doesn't even have a name on it, or the sticker peeled off. It's still more temperature sensitive than lead, but not bad. I think my better quality lead roll is from them too. I wish I knew the name so I could order more of each.

On a related note, I've had terrible luck with any of the Chinese solders off of places like Temu or Banggood. Even the lead ones were junky.
