The most consistently productive I've been was using the most stripped down physical bullet journal I could. I needed to write things to organise my thoughts a bit but other than that, anything else was literally a distraction and not a system. Basic, basic, bullet journalling and google calendar reminding me of events. That's all I actually need. The only thing holding me back is my brain refusing to use these things consistently these days and avoiding work.

This. It’s a pretty reasonable answer to a stupid question. Dolls depict people.
Cool, webjsx might be exactly what I was looking for. A simple thing that lets me map state to the DOM to make reactivity easier.
> Gaza is worthless land, Israel does not want it.

You don't know about the Ben-Gvir canal? About Gaza's offshore oil? Maybe you could do a bare minimum of research before making wholly incorrect pronouncements, in your vain attempt to deflect from genocide.

> > by what possible metric?

> Their intentions?

This is where you get laughed out of the room.

> All the metrics you used are in Israel’s favor

They're really not.

> Israel doesn’t send their citizens to die in Zerg waves like Hamas does.

Not a thing.

> You are falling for Hamas’ strategy of killing their own people to make Israel look bad

Hamas doesn't kill their own people to make Israel bad. Israel does the killing, and the making themselves look bad. You might be thinking of the Hannibal doctrine? Again though, that's Israel.

> If Hamas had any amount of military of economic power they would kill every Israeli they could find

Netanyahu has long said that propping up Hamas is essential, so that a Palestinian state can be prevented.

And, what percentage of Hamas fighters are orphans, due to decades of Israeli brutality?

> The same is just not true for Israel.

That's counter to what hundreds of statements from Israeli political and military leaders would attest [0], as well as hundreds of pages of ICJ documents.

> Frankly I don’t care who started it

How convenient for you.

> litigating that will never lead to a solution.

Your belief in the ineffectiveness of 'litigation' is no excuse to ignore international law. You understand that, right?

> I agree the Palestinians are oppressed and have been treated horribly by Israel. But it’s mostly their own fault.

:o

Some day, I hope you can hear yourself.

> They keep starting wars they can’t win and then crying that they lose.

Wow it's almost as if they want to defend their land, even when up against a military force backed by the world's most militaristic superpower.

Also, remember when you said "Frankly I don't care who started it" earlier in your comment? But now it excuses brutal oppression? If only you were capable of recognizing blatant logical inconsistency.

> Being oppressed doesn’t make you right.

It sure makes the oppressor wrong.

I remember forest fires yearly in northern Spain in the 80s. Are they more violent now?
Other sites aren’t just as vulnerable. TikTok not only sent US users data to China illegally, their executives also lied about it under oath.

Also purely on trade fairness, why should a Chinese app be allowed in the US when all US apps are banned in China?

Nowadays, MP3 is an open audio codec. The patents have expired.
> If Israel is a superpower so is Iran

There's an order of magnitude between those two in terms of military power. Iran has little ability to even hit a strategically important target in Israel, while Israel has the capability to destroy anything up in Iran. Comparing those two is as misleading as comparing the Iraqi military to the US right before the gulf war.

> He was wrong and got killed. Same as Sinwar.

The comparison is very poor: not only Nasrallah is dead, but his life's entire project has been defeated: Hezbollah has lost its military power and also its political power in Lebanon, the blow it took was crushing. On the other hand, Hamas still controls Gaza and will replenish its forces easily because they have full support from the population at this point (some sources even suggest that Hamas has gained more militants than it has lost in the war already, and even if it's not yet the case, there's no doubt it will in medium terms at least).

Israel has been unable to convert its tactical victory into a strategic one against Hamas, whereas the defeat of Hezbollah is a strategic one (Jolani put the nail in the coffin by taking over Syria).

The alternative should be that you can backup the stuff you own for free.

How does this have to do with expressiveness ?
Collecting and selling the data is legal if they give you the chance to opt out. They went out of their way to avoid giving you that chance, and that’s what they got in trouble for. So the five year ban is a penalty for breaking the actual law, which is just that the consumer should have a chance to say no.
> most of the time, they're optimistic.

Evidence? Has anyone collated predictions over time and compared them with outcomes to date?

I can remember a number of specific predictions (e.g. that snow would be unknown in most of the UK by the early 2000s) that were pessimistic. Of course, I recall those because they got a lot of media attention at the time and the media reporting is biased to the most extreme predictions so its not a fair sample.
whole point of insurance is that you pay for avoiding risk

in other words, you pay more than you would on average loss from bad events - but you avoid catastrophic losses that would break your life

that is why insuring your phone is likely a bad idea (as you can pay for a new one) but liability insurance or insuring your home/flat may make sense

> If it has to make any profits - or at least pay salaries - it's guaranteed to be a bad deal for everyone.

paying 3k per year, to avoid 1% risk of 250k losses may be a good idea, especially if 3k loss is survivable without trouble and 250k loss would be more than 90 times worse.
Show HN: I built a credit-based system API
Hey HN! I'm a solo developer who's been building web apps for the past two years. I kept seeing other devs struggle with clunky credit systems for usage-based pricing.

So, I decided to build Creduse: a robust API that makes integrating usage-based pricing into your web app very easy. It records every credit-related action as an immutable transaction in a ledger (nope, no blockchain involved), so you don't have to worry about data integrity or complex accounting.

Is this something you'd find useful for your projects? What features would make it even better for your projects?
Back in the early 90's when I was 35 years old I hated my job but I had family commitments and mortgage to attend to.

I had always enjoyed reading psychology books and decided to attend night college and train as a counsellor.

For the first 2 years this was 1 evening of 3 hours each week, then 2 evenings each week for the final 2 years until I qualified as a therapeutic counsellor. I worked full time in my regular job during this period.

Once I had qualifed I realised I had absolutely no experience working in the care sector so I worked as a full time volunteer in the substance misuse field for a whole year gaining the experience and knowledge to allow me to get a paid job in the field. During this period the company provided an extensive traning package. I was after all giving my free time.

I also enroled in a psychotherapy masters degree. Now qualified as a counsellor I had all the core knowledge in place. The masters degree was one weekend each month for 2 years, so very doable.

After a year I applied for my first job as a keyworker then over the next few years I slowly worked my way up the ladder to care-coordinator, methadone dispenser, trained as a auricular acupuncturist etc etc.

six years later, aged 41, a master degree in hand and my new life ahead of me.

My friend did a similar thing and he became an architect.
Does anyone know whether these shadow libraries also include substantial amounts of public-domain/legal content that has yet to be made available on the more legit sites? If so, we should definitely have some sort of organized effort to harvest all that so it can also be hosted legitimately and not be taken down due to the obvious issue of also having so much illegal content there.
was surprised seeing this not discussed previously, as it can have rather big ramifications also for home server holsters etc (if not behind VPN)
How easy and slick this setup will be depends on the camera.

For example, my camera can't operate and charge over USB at the same time, so you need a supplemental power supply. And it won't autofocus continuously or keep the exposure and white balance stable unless you're recording a video. And videos can only be so long.

So I've got a HDMI-to-USB converter, a special HDMI cable, a special power brick and adaptor, a special tripod so all those cables don't pull the whole setup over, and I've got to restart video recording every 30 minutes or so, and wipe the microsd card regularly.

Your camera's probably better suited to this than mine :)
Evidently these cameras are capable of exporting high quality video via USB, if you pay 5 bucks a month. This doesn't sound like a hardware problem. It also has a control channel, unlike HDMI.
Well, I hope it is both then.
State Farm’s revenue was $104.2 billion for 2023. His payment was 0.02% of the revenue. That’s basically a rounding error.
Show HN: TikTok app written in React(not React Native)
Well, they're also an app that relies (at least on Android) on Google's Play Integrity DRM to "keep it safe" from those pesky root users. And like clockwork, this false sense of security leads developers into stupidly trusting the client.
In the real world, you can't just optimise for the sake of it. You need to get a business case for it. Because it all boils down to revenue vs expenses
Good question.

There are no pure "functionality" trade-offs. IMAP _is_ the defacto email protocol and supports everything that email "does".

There are, however, _massive_ implementation trade-offs. The reason almost all email products use APIs instead of IMAP is: IMAP is really hard. Orchestrating and abstracting over IMAP for cross-platform usage is insanely hard.

IMAP is antiquated and fundamentally broken. It has race hazards built in, poor querying performance, etc.

JMAP is supposed to be the successor to IMAP, but it's been around for over a decade and the world still runs on IMAP.

We want to build a multi-account, cross-platform, offline-first email app that _just works_. The project was born out of personal frustration. We're not trying to do anything revolutionary. We're building the email app that should have already existed.
A Plantation Is Not a Forest
I you are referring to the two Space Shuttle accidents, both of them could have been avoided with just a little bit more care - not launching in freezing temperatures for Challenger, and making sure insulation foam doesn't fall off the tank for Columbia.
There are a LOT of fireproof roofing materials; the US is quite strange in covering most houses with these asphalt shingles. Clay/concrete tiles are pretty standard; slate or metal also options. There are presumably different ways of dealing with the gaps and ventilation to keep out embers.
Either you want automatic scalability or you want caps. Scalability is hard with caps. Say your site selling stuff sees spike and scales up and hits cap, should the service degrade in way you did not plan for? Or go past the cap as you are still making money?
Show HN: ImageEmbeddingInference – like text-embeddings-inference but for images
I started the Image Embedding Inference because I couldn’t find a simple way to serve image embedding models. I wanted a framework as straightforward as the Text Embedding Inference (TEI) setup for text embeddings, and this project fills that gap.
This is something I frequently point out to. If someone understood constent like tech companies do, they'd be banned from a few bars. Look up "rules for consent" and think about how consensual your relationship with tech companies is.

Here's one: https://stopsexualviolence.iu.edu/policies-terms/consent.htm...
This is because this behavior is simply not illegal, and companies can get away with it.
It's just a matter of time at that point

> if we were to get there the entire world will be a different place; everything will have advanced so we won't be insuring our present world with our current knowledge and current tech but a future world with future knowledge and future tech

That's a very convoluted way to spell "famine, wars and mass immigration". Techno-solutionism has become a religion, you don't even have to understand or look at the problem, just repeat "tech will save us all, in tech we trust".
Why do you pick unreasonable interpretations, when there are so many trivial, obvious, reasonable options? Even the literal interpretation of "pull the cord", meaning the power cord, would mean the servers shut down, but nothing is deleted. And why do you claim the provider would "magically" have to know these things? These can be communicated through user settings: "if bill exceeds X, do one of the following:

[ ] continue billing me [ ] throttle bandwidth [ ] gracefully shut down servers (data is deleted after 30 days of non-payment)

This is so painfully obvious even for someone that never deals with cloud vendors, that I just don't understand why you would pretend otherwise.
Yes it is. You basically being a fascist by turning up using physical force to block free speech

It's a metal tube that has some plastic around it to make it comfortable to hold. They are basically banning the production of "comfort features", not weapons themselves.
Accurate enough, on the visual check it gives you. I have somewhat away-from-the-mean hands and I'd expect anything that moves their shape while typing to less bunched-up to be noticeably more comfortable.

I can test this, in fact - I'm already building a custom keyboard, although it's a) not with this generator, and b) intentionally closely matching another keyboard I own. I could do another with the horizontal spacings from this site while keeping everything else the same, and see if it's preferable.
I've only ever used Nikon starting with a D40 ~20 years ago. I regularly still use my D7100, but primarily use my Z5. The only time I'm ever envious of another camera system is when connection options like this come up. But then I go out and take pictures and I'm reminded why I'm probably Nikon for life :)
Not sure why people keep bringing the old (my machine x years ago was faster). Machines nowadays do way more than machines from 80s. Whether the tasks they do are useful or not is separate discussion.
> Is there a reason OP can't get themselves a $50 USB capture card and a $20 HDMI cable, and use OBS to capture the feed?

This is how I've used my Sony camera since COVID. It works great.

I wasn't sure at first if OP was trying to do something nonstandard, because you get video to your computer with a video cable. Plus a way for your computer to capture that, which for me is CamLink.

Honestly, I'm surprised there's a relevant manufacturer app at all. Not surprised that it costs money.

This is a bit like not having power in your home to charge your camera with and asking the manufacturer for a generator. They may have a solution, but the price will be bad.
> it's pretty clear that a purely market-based health system costs lives.

You're refuting a lot of established facts about the risks of climate change, in a way that seems indicative of a certain ideology. Can you explain more what your position is?
WW2 saw urban firestorms in European cities built of brick. The insides are still flammable.
You can get a much higher hit rate with more constrained agents, but unfortunately if it's too constrained it just doesn't excite people as much.

Ex. the Grit agent (my company) is designed to handle larger maintenance tasks. It has a much higher success rate, with <5% rejected tasks and 96% merged PRs (including some pretty huge repos).

It's also way less exciting. People want the flashy tool that can solve "everything."
That's interesting

As another commenter pointed out, it's down to better cameras; higher resolution and framerates than "traditional" cameras used in this kind of recording. But it could be better still, the camera setup in the clip still gets a lot of shaking from the blasts.

IIRC they use regular off the shelf gopro cameras to mount on the ones going into space. Granted, the mount is ruggedized metal else the cameras wouldn't survive, lol [0].

I'm also reminded of NASA's cameras which were mounted on the mechanisms of an anti-air gun, great for slow and precise movements. I'm sure they still use that today but I couldn't find a good source. I did find an article about NASA's ruggedized cameras for use on spacecraft and the like though [1].

I agree with your comment.

But as phone cameras are reaching limits due to the physical amount of light that they can capture, “computational photography” ML models are essentially making up details that aren’t there.

So your Android photos may have the look you want, but be worse for many purposes.
I would have typically used zen mode for long blog articles, or when reading lengthy documentation.

Some trade war from the XIX century or something? Or maybe because dolls were historically thought for girls?
The idea of having a system or process is to be able to;

- be intentional, consciously engage, and be present.

- participate by being active rather than passive.

- be consistent and reliable in timing, expectation, and quality.

- be finite by constraint around time, effort, or action.

If one wants just to keep winging it, it is still a choice and OK to be that.
Such insurance likely would require documenting full due diligence and being able to prove that you followed all instructions and known best practises at time of incident. Which likely would get the insurer out of most cases...
Regarding "What began as elegant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript...": I don't know. Did you write websites 15-20 years ago?
Camera manufacturers can just enable the functionality as an easter-egg.

So they just publish some activation code on some consumer forum somewhere and from then on it's the consumer's responsibility.

I think they did the same thing with DVD region restrictions.

No, I think it's to protect the European producer of devices that can do more from being out-competed by imports.
This is misleading. You don't get a proper video feed, you get 720p at 30 fps out of a camera that shoots 4K at 60 fps. On top of that, no white balance, no color correction, no etc. My laptop's built in webcam does better than that.
> The funnier thing is, you can't use the videos out of your camera for commercial purposes, because the video codecs inside your camera doesn't come with commercial licenses out of the box.

Fellow Sony a7iv owner here. I can confirm this works on my camera too.

For older cameras, probably the easiest way to do it (if you don't want to install anything) is to pick up a ~$20 usb HDMI capture card from amazon. Connect the HDMI output on the camera to the capture card. And then set your camera up to output a "clean" video source via the HDMI port.

As I understand it, modern capture cards work without drivers on every OS, just like the modern sony cameras do.
I have cannon r5 and previously had sony cameras. I'm bamboozeled how in this day and age software connecting cameras with PCs is so bad, not to mention tethered shooting. And the fact that 5+k camera have slow wifi chips for no reason so you cant tether via wifi just angers me.

Software on the actual camera is yet another question for me, why don't we have cameras with full fledged modern OS-es running custom androids for example with installable apps so you can finish a lot of stuff on the camera itself or make sharing to wherever a breeze.
As long as so many things are not accounted for properly (negative externalities), what good is it to talk about the world being insurable or not? It's like putting a bunch of monkeys in the cockpit of a rocket and then asking if you can insure it.
