Wow -- I am shocked to read this news.

I don't consider too many people to be personal heroes but I did think of David Lynch in this way.

Rest in peace. Thank you for your creative output and your mad-passion for film and meditation.
After the external auditors resigned saying that the financials couldn't be trusted the fact that an internal report run from the board of the directors clears them mightn't be as generally reassuring as you seem to find it.
Easy, you use your brain and critical thinking to process the message separately from the messenger and then do your own fact checking. But that's hard and your avenge person is too retarded to do any such research and it's easier just to laugh at Orange Man while being smug.

Like if the Germans would have invested as much brain power to look up where the energy of their industry is coming from and asses the threat of being depended on Russia, as much as they used to laugh at America's big military and at Donald Trump, they'd be in a better state.

Anyone with two working braincells knew Germany's position was vulnerable to Russia. Even EU leaders told them that, not just Trump but also Obama.

That's not mentorship though, that's just the blind leading the blind. Mentorship implies by default one party has asymmetrical knowledge over the other one. That's how the mentee levels up.

I do agree that partnering up with someone is better than going it alone, but if you're both at the same level, progress won't be as substantial as with a true mentor.
There is so little content and context to this link that it is essentially flame war bait in a non-expert forum like HN.

> In my opinion Microsoft fumbled the app store by bloating it with questionable KPIs on number of added apps by anyone able to submit templates apps

Worse than that. IIRC, Microsoft ran contests which specifically incentivized developers to create as many apps as possible, and most of the apps they got as a result were garbage (like copies of developer examples with some of the text changed).
now try to reply to the actual content instead of some generalizing grandstanding bullshit

Rain will wash nitrogen away (down to streams, rivers, and then the ocean creating lots of problems) so you want to apply nitrogen with an eye on when it will rain so your fertilizer stays on the field where you want it. Your link doesn't specify what fertilizer is being applied, I would guess nitrogen is not one.

Ammonia should be applied to the soil - in the air it is a hazard that can kill people and harm the plants (farmers wear lots of protective gear when working with ammonia, with more other things they don't bother).

As such I'm not convinced that is the right answer. You want a system that will apply nitrogen

New article: Google is being sued for listening in on Home Depot customer support calls to train their systems. [1] They had Home Depot's permission, but not the customers'. That's "wiretapping" in some states.

I’m amazed that they only have one camera. A cheap solution to dynamic range would be to have two cameras, one for bright, high resolution, and one for low light, low resolution.

They have a lot more money than private companies. California HSR alone costs ten times or more than the Starship program. Annually, the American government spends some three or four times as much as the Starship program on dialysis for 0.2% of the population. Money is in abundance for a government.

Since you brought it up, I personally switched to jujutsu and prefer it greatly. I regularly help coworkers deal with issues in git and keep dropping hints like `in jujutsu this would've been done way easier like this!`. Nobody bites yet since I think most of them don't want to use the CLI but maybe someday if enough people keep talking about it the inertia will get to the point that we can get some really slick GUIs for jj.
Biden is not an out and proud fascist who literally tried to steal the last election. (Nor a rapist, felon, or insurrectionist.)

I hate that we are seemingly expected to pretend that Trump’s reign is totally normal and on the up-and-up now that he won. Man is a monster who deserves to be languishing in the deepest pit we have available, not wining and dining tech CEOs.

How do you persist execution state? Does it hook into the Python interpreter to capture referenced variables/data structures etc, so they are available when the state needs to be restored?
LLM powered regular people won't be able to replace/undercut developers because they don't know how to correctly gather requirements.

The day LLMs start insisting Joe Schmoe non-devs first plan DB schemas/hosting/auth (ie; before responding with random HTML/CSS/JS page demos) is the day I start getting really scared.

Ultimate job security. Write the code that no one will ever dare to touch. And you pass on your job security to those few brave souls who do.
The disconnect between git's beautiful internal model of blobs, a tree of commits, and pointers to commits, and the command line interface is so wild. All of these recipes are unintuitive even if you have a firm grasp of git's model; you also need to know the quirks of the commands! To just look at the first one... wouldn't it be more intuitive for the command line interface to be:

# this command exists already;
$ git switch -c some-new-branch-name
# is there a command that simply moves a branch from one commit to another without changing anything else? It feels like it should be possible given how git works.
$ git move-branch master HEAD~
Same with some projects' readme.md: it will have a change log and a few random details, but it doesn't tell me what it does.
I think this kind of moral highhorsery is no longer reasonable when facing a malicious adversary that commands multiple orders of magnitude more resources. This is more of an "anything goes" territory, merited by the instinct of self-preservation.

I'd argue that the word "murder" doesn't really apply here -- the thing in a suit that morning was not a human being, it was some kind of a carnivorous ghoul, a biological hybrid of ruthless corporate profit-seeking mandate and what used to be a person long time ago.
A study of London[0] found that being bombed during the blitz was a net positive for the city, economically speaking, because the neighborhoods affected were rebuilt with more density.

This gave me the idea that we could improve long-term urban wealth by following an "urban Cheney's algorithm". A city could be divided into let's say 8 sectors, like pie slices extending from the center, and demolished on a schedule (e.g. one sector per decade). The orderly and predictable demolition would provide an even greater boon to the city than the Nazi bombing campaign provided to London, especially because the wide range of demolition would allow easier renovation of structures like roads, sewers, and transit lines and depots.

We went to university together, had a semi-romantic friendship before as well. I always liked her and I thought she liked me back too but after graduating I was focused on other stuff, wasn't actively looking for a relationship. Hence the gap.
Not sure why you are being downvoted when you're absolutely correct. Free resources are usually over taxed and the best way to weed out the uncommitted is to add a cost.

"But many enterprise b2b companies have a more complicated product than Keygen and charge orders of magnitude more than they do."

Show HN: Doctor Droid – AI Slack Bot for Kubernetes Troubleshooting
Hey HN, we’re excited to share Doctor Droid, an AI-powered Slack bot for faster Kubernetes troubleshooting.

After two years of iterating, we’ve built a solution that lets you check pod statuses, restart pods, run custom commands, or diagnose complex issues — all from Slack.

Why we built it:

We noticed SREs often spend a lot of time jumping between terminals, dashboards, and docs to diagnose K8s issues.
Our goal is to bring debugging directly into your team’s workflow (i.e., Slack), guided by an AI assistant.

How it works:

Sign up
Invite the bot to your Slack channel
Connect your Kubernetes cluster
Start chatting (e.g., Doctor droid restart unhealthy pods in cluster x)

Key features:

AI-driven assistance for diagnosing and troubleshooting
Simple UI within Slack to check logs, restart pods, etc.
Proxy option for clusters not publicly accessible (GitHub repo)

What’s next:

Expanding beyond K8s to 40+ cloud-native integrations (private beta live)
Leveraging existing SOPs, docs, tribal knowledge (upcoming feature)
Automating postmortems, documentation updates, and scripts

Free Credits:

Feedback is super valuable to us—please let us know what you think! Grab 500 free credits (worth $50) if you sign up before January 31.

Docs & more:

Docs: docs.drdroid.io
ProductHunt: https://producthunt.com/

Who we’re looking for: Anyone dealing with K8s day-to-day—your feedback will shape our roadmap!

Thanks for checking it out. We’d love to hear your thoughts, critiques, or questions in the comments!
The world is noticeably empty due to hardware limitations.
GMTK is popular, but he's mostly talking out of his ass. He's got zero industry experience and most gamedevs I know personally clown on his takes constantly. Unless he references specific Nintendo interviews where they talk about their design process, I have doubts about this video containing an accurate description of how Nintendo does things.
I take it this means it has moved to the obituaries?
Your characterisation of Arab states is totally baseless. There is no control case of an Arab state that developed without either large oil resources or significant foreign intervention during the modern period. Name one.

You mention Iran, but Iran is not Arabic, but Persian, and the Persian Safavid Empire was formidable from 1501 to 1722. Then Iran was a plaything of the British and Russian empires for many years, culminating in British-Russian occupation during World War II and the 1953 CIA/MI6-orchestrated coup that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew the US-backed Shah, Iran has struggled under heavy economic sanctions orchestrated by the United States.

Iraq was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1534 to 1918, when Britain took over after WWI, maintaining substantial power over Iraq despite the latter's nominal independence in 1932. The British-established monarchy wasn't overthrown until 1958, after which the Soviets and the West exploited the instability to compete for influence.

I think you're underestimating just how pervasive Western colonialism was and is.
My hyperbole was simply to express that they're finally going "mask off" and admitting they're not a serious, journalistic enterprise anymore. It's a shame to see them go from the exposers of Watergate to their current state of "nah we're just going to print ai-generated slop". Ever since Bezos started shoving his tentacles into every aspect of the paper, their trust and integrity has eroded to where we are now.
Nice site. Do you think you have too many CTA's upon the search results such as brand kit etc?
Its definitely is an 'is pepsi ok' experience. Not as polished as Sentry.

I set it up as an accessory with this config:

openobserve:
proxy:
ssl: true
host: openobserve.cardstocktcg.com
app_port: 5080
healthcheck:
path: /
interval: 1
timeout: 5
image: public.ecr.aws/zinclabs/openobserve:latest
host: 178.156.134.191
port: "5080:5080"
env:
clear:
ZO_DATA_DIR: "/openobserve_data"
secret:
- ZO_ROOT_USER_EMAIL
- ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD
directories:
- openobserve_data:/openobserve_data

IMO, pepsi is totally ok when its essentially free
I think it's one of those topics where most people feel too strongly about it to discuss rationally and be open to having their minds swayed.
Really wish they would have stetched to make the RAM 16GB - making it the same as the Steam Deck and current gen consoles. Would make it much easier for developers to target.
"Bro" is the furthest thing from "gender neutral". Not sure how you could think it's gender neutral. It originated from male behavior and is definitely not gender neutral. You can address women as "bro" and they might even respond to you but they'll think you're absolutely weird.
> You were fine the first 4 years you'll be fine the next 4 years.

Women have less rights now than they did before his first term. That is an observable fact. Some of them are not fine. Some of them have died do that loss. Others have had their futures stripped or their paths altered in a way in which they did not want but by an outside Authority backed by the hand of the police and judicial system that will put them in jail for doing things that they were legally allowed to just before.
It's OK to just not care for things. Sometimes those things will be good. It's still OK to not care for them.

It's also OK to like bad things. I like lots of bad things.
The soundtrack to Lost Highway is one of my top albums, all categories. Equally as fascinating, weird, violent and beautiful as the film itself. The tracks are masterfully sequenced, often blend into each other and form a complete work in itself.

It has long been my testbed for gapless playback on various hardware and software, often to my disappointment. (I'm not sure the experience is even available on streaming platforms, where things are normally playlists of disparate blobs of data, where perhaps "this track is not available in your region".)
But there's literally a button on their pricing page to "Book discovery call" if you increase the slider above 100k????

Author here. You're quite right that this isn't the thing you would normally do. I'm just trying to help people work through the logic of the system with as few dependencies as possible, hence this (admittedly yucky) piece of pseudocode which isn't really C or Rust or Python or anything...

Showing a cookie banner on each site is pounding us all into submission. It's not that any single website's banner is too much; it's that we are all clicking them all day long.

Honestly, it would be awesome if there was an effective way to geofence these banners to the EU. However, IIRC the EU law asserts control over websites in other countries, on the off chance that an EU national might access the website.
I've also seen this at a medium-sized (~100 store) regional grocery chain in the northeast US.

Not sure who built it. Presumably not an in-house product.
Does anyone have a convenient way to create a Markov babbler from the entire corpus of Hackernews text?
I really don't think so. I've shopped around several times, and while I could cut it a bit, I'm not getting more than a ~15% reduction overall.

Note that this is not all cellular service; I typically buy contract-subsidized devices. There's really no reason not to, as it's the same cost as buying them elsewhere but paid over two years. The effect of inflation alone on that deferred debt is about the same as what I could save on service by changing carriers.

Also, I and my family use our devices extensively. It's not uncommon for us to hit 1TB of cellular data in a month.
This is fair, although I do think the choice was reasonable. Disc drives are an expensive part, and consider how much space a cartridge slot would have used on the 3DS...

----

I have long had a total fantasy in this vein... what Nintendo could have done is release add-on hardware to read old media. Imagine a hybrid mini-disc and cartridge reader which connects to the Wii U via USB, and a Gameboy cartridge reader which connects to the 3DS via... uh, possibly NFC, Gameboy games are small and the games could be read once and cached to internal storage.

You could use this to add backwards compatibility all the way back to the NES and Gameboy! Games from consoles two generations back could have been run natively, everything older could have been trivially software emulated.

I don't think such a product would have substantially interfered with Virtual Console sales, it would have been too niche. Probably too niche to make sense in real life... but in my fantasy, the goal would have been PR. It would cement the idea that buying a Nintendo game is an investment which Nintendo will support long-term; whether a large number of people make use of that ability is irrelevant.
Yes, you’re right—there doesn’t seem to be any statement explicitly saying that the legacy free edition will always have the same features as the Business Starter plan, at least not that I could find.

However, I noticed that on my legacy free edition, new features were integrated around the same time they were shipped to the Business Starter plan. For example, when the Gemini app was launched for Workspace, it was added to my panel: https://imgur.com/a/QvROTiD

Interestingly, when I went to the admin panel to take the screenshot, I saw a banner with the OP announcement: https://imgur.com/a/CDgdrlB. It does say "en todas las ediciones de Workspace" (in all Workspace editions), but maybe not the one I currently have, haha (legacy free edition).
They need to throttle because otherwise they're simply a DDoS service. It's clear they don't give a fuck though, like any bigtech company. They'll spend millions on prosecuting anyone who dares to do what they perceive as a DoS attack against them, but they'll spit in your face and laugh at you if you even dare to claim they are DDoSing you.
tbf, I don't think any of these are pop songs. It's ambient music and lofi chill stuff.
That this was specifically about telling transphobes to knock it off feels very relevant in the current moment.

Fair enough. With that in mind, at what point does it no longer make sense to track it?

There must be some principled position where you can argue when it does and or does not make sense. In the case of this conflict, we're talking about a conflict where a few folks that directly experienced it are still alive and that many folks whose parents experienced it are still alive.

The Nakba is more recent than the Holocaust by a few years. Should it get the same treatment? Countries like Germany are still paying reparations.

In the US, we constantly have discussions about the institution of slavery in the US that ended in 1865. Jim Crow laws are more recent injustice however and only ended in 1865.

The Ukraine likewise had the Holodomor. There's actually a fascinating video of Abe Foxman of the ADL speaking with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, telling him that it would be unproductive to talk about "your genocide, our genocide", but at the end of the day that's what we have here and it only seems fair to give comparable treatment for comparable catastrophes.

Speaking of catastrophe, I've always found it somewhat ironic that the word Nakba and the word Shoah (the original vernacular used to describe the Holocaust before it was replaced in the late 60s) both have the same meaning. Nakba is Arabic for catastrophe and Shoah is the Yiddish word for catastrophe.

I'm not saying where that line should or should not be, but it only seems fair that if we're going to draw a line that victims of different but comparable injustices should be given comparable treatment.

AI absolutely can’t do the work that I do right now, but if AI keeps advancing then that gap is going to get smaller.

And at some point, even if the gap is still pretty big, the never-ending quest to increase profits will drive companies to start laying developers off even if the AI isn’t quite ready.

I work in a highly regulated industry. I hope that buys time. But I spend a lot of time worrying about how I’m going to take care of my kid if things keep moving at this rate.
Yeah, we saw pretty well how the US "stands for civil liberties and free speech" in the last few years. Also, you might need to adjust your tinfoil hat, it seems a bit too tight.
This was just posed as a hypothetical, not something that actually happened. It would also require that the person asking about salary information already have access to said data.

Full quote:
> "Particularly around bigger companies that have complex permissions around their SharePoint or their Office 365 or things like that, where the Copilots are basically aggressively summarizing information that maybe people technically have access to but shouldn't have access to," he explained.

Berkowitz said salary information, for example, might be picked up by a Copilot service.

"Now, maybe if you set up a totally clean Microsoft environment from day one, that would be alleviated," he told us. "But nobody has that. People have implemented these systems over time, particularly really big companies. And you get these conflicting authorizations or conflicting access to data."
I can see it for simple toys, I just can't see it for more complex projects. I have no idea how you could use natural language to describe some complex business rules, and once you start having to write in a more logical language it's verging on the precision of code. And to then be able to audit the system, make minor changes and regression test, etc...

I can see it speeding engineers up, I can't see the guy on the clapham omnibus building a complex line of business app (or an operating system, flight computer, financial engine, MRI sequencer, etc...). And once it can't be your average Joe and it's someone who requires training, suddenly we're back to it not being a commodity.
