One of the workflow I’m trying to practice is the idea of workspace. It can be done with virtual machines or containers on linux. As you can guess, it’s about one project per system. I don’t mind the redundancy as it brings me peace of mind when configuring the system or managing dependency.
Because it's a cultural arms race. What kind of nation do you think is capable of manifesting in those local conditions, a progressive social democracy like Sweden?
I don't miss the causality at all. I think you greatly overestimate people's willingness to critically examine ideas that are surfaced within their affinity group.

Causality works both ways. People are drawn to their affirming media, but they are also assimilated into it. And it's not like they are unformed lumps of clay before they "choose" what media to consume -- often this is a product of their developmental environment to begin with.

Where they might not have preexisting biases, a framework for thought is provided to them by the group. These groups are sometimes tightly, and sometimes loosely, defined. There is always a fringe. But independent thought is far far from the strongest influence in 99% of people.

This is such a blindingly obvious truth of the world (to me) that I can't formulate a serious counterargument. Can you?
Yes, the less sharp angle of the described bike-lane would imply that biker can get into the sidewalk in high speed without issue and harm a pedestrian easier.

I can't do anything about the US having an obscenely distorted view of terrorism but it'd be nice if I could at least turn a profit off it.
Doesn't that make it exceedingly hard to locate specific books?

One thing I have notices about modern books is that they are a freaking huge. I have a large number of novels from the 1970s. Their are all 250 - 400 pages, about the the same as my wife's moderns books about people getting murdered. The 50 year old books are less than half the size. Why is there a need to make modern books into tomes?
One meter is about one long step for an adult. To approximate the length of a field, you just walk along it with big steps and count. It will not be correct, but pretty close. A cm is a little bit smaller than the width of your index finger. It's all bout what you are used to. Metric doesn't "fly over people's head" where metric is the standard way to measure things, but inches, feet, gallons, pounds, miles fly over our head because we are not used to it so don't have any frame of reference.
Thank you very much! This is helpful!
And the cost of the camera program was paid back a hundred times as that footage was used to diagnose, correct and improve countless systems. Accident investigations would have taken ten times as long without that footage.

This one is the hardest for me to digest. But I’ve seen it first hand a couple of times (here in Sweden), so impossible for me to dismiss.

Personally I think it’s an incentives problem, but one consisting of a lack of negative consequences. Once incompetence (and sometimes what I’d even call malevolence) reaches a certain level feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed: those who do care can no-longer impose negative consequences on those who don’t. Their boss doesn’t care either, their careers progress just the same, they make the same money, their jobs are just as secure. It snowballs from there.

At least here in Sweden it’s taboo to say it, but I think we just need to get back to individual negative consequences for not caring.

I wanted to ask: is there a place, like a showcase, where I can share two tiny examples I created in C3?

Well, one of them consists of multiple languages, C3 being one of them, but the other is a Fibonacci implementation written in C3.

Any suggestion?

When people ask me what cope is, I'll be pointing them to the comments here.

All of the things he mentions really could be better. It's lazy and careless to say that there's a constraint so something had to be bad. Every engineering problem has constraints.
The gradient thing would work if ground speed and vertical speed were both in m/s, but km/h is more common in metric for a ground speed. You don't usually think in terms of hours during a climb/descent!

Glide slope of 3.6% would fit nicely though. Then, 100 km/h ground speed goes with vertical speed 1 m/s.

Metric navigation would use the fact 90 degrees of latitude is 10,000 km.
You started out so well, but then it all broke.
> kids do most of the cleaning

We have that in my country, and it doesn't really affect the society overall: the streets are full of trash and it's considered normal to throw away cigarette butts, candy wrappers, etc. after you're done with them. From reading local internet forums, you get the idea that it's always the government fault that trash does not get picked up in time, it's never our own fault.

It looks like the last 20 or so pages of the PDF contain two case studies. I read the first one, which lead to (nondeterministic) kernel errors.

Perhaps “hacker” should be “crazy bug debugger”, but anybody who is working with TLB issues is a hacker in my book.

I appreciate the thanks... Looking at the horror honestly does take a toll.

Still, I'm glad you asked. It's better to have perspective on these things.

For anyone who wants to visualize what 85,000 tonnes of bombs looks like, it's about 5.7x the nuke dropped over Hiroshima (Hiroshima is 2.5x bigger than Gaza, and was 16x less densely populated than modern Gaza in 1945).

This comparison also helps put Vietnam into perspective - 333x Little Boy over ten years.
Sorry this isn’t exactly a fresh conflict, why are we pretending like settler colonialism in the region is a new thing, I’m not sure.
It's not a singular source of gravity at the center though, it's the collection of all mass in the galaxy interacting with each other as well. Like a daisy chain of gravity, which explains why it looks like a spiral instead of an evenly distributed circle.

It is good to create direct, fair and healthy competition for the Product Hunt (I am all for diversity). Competition is always good for business.

As far as successful launching on Product Hunt and getting feature isn't just for everyone. You have to do marketing, building hype around your product, moderate product idea (it's a minimum to get featured), good copywriting and whatnot.

I'm also going to sign up because of its features.
The problem, essentially, is that you can't rage against the dying of the light all by yourself. If you're an architect and badly want to build great housing your goals are frustrated every step of the way. By people who don't care enough to do all the little things that are necessary to make a building 5% better in 20 subtle ways. You can only fight indifference for so long before you're empty.

What is the point of lighting being cheap if it produces a city where people don't want to live? Good lighting isn't unaffordable either. Cities with good lighting actually exist! And yet people will insist shitty lighting is somehow necessary. It isn't.

I only use NotebookLM a couple times a month, but when I use it I get value from it. I wanted to put out a new edition of a book I wrote last year so I ingested the PDF for the previous version of my book and some notes on what I was thinking of adding. Then in Chat mode I asked for suggestions of interesting topics that I didn’t think of and a few other questions, then got a short summary that I used as a checklist for things that I might add.

I probably spent 20 minutes doing this and got value for my 20 minutes.
I was aware that the transatlantic slave trade was banned in 1808. I had no idea there were illegal shipments as late as 1859. I'm glad this article specifically mentions the "convict leasing" exception to the 13th Amendment. As noted, it's still an issue to this day.

For obvious reasons, first hand accounts of the transatlantic slave trade are incredibly rare. A notable exception is Omar Ibn Said [1] who was fluent in spoken and written Arabic. The vast majority of slaves were illiterate.

Honest question: Do you mean that most pedestrians are actually using (not just carrying on their person) a torch while walking along lit streets? I have essentially never seen that where I live, except some joggers have lights attached to their clothing but that's just so others can see them better. I can't imagine street lighting in an urban/suburban area being so bad that that would be necessary. That's a terrible state of affairs which, in itself, is a gross anti-pedestrian move.

(Or did you just factiously mean that people have smart phones on them which can function as torches?)
This is not why humility is considered a virtue. That's not at all how virtues work. In general, in ethics, there are schools of thought that try to derive ethics from the idea that particular behavior is beneficial to someone / a group in a short term / long term etc. or based on virtues, the transcendental rules that are beyond questioning. These rules don't have to have any tangible benefits, there can be no proof through experimentation that establishes that the rule is right or wrong. Usually, such rules are given through some extra-human authority (a divine revelation, a dream etc.)

People who build their ethics on virtues might believe that, for example, being brave is a virtue. And so, regardless of the consequences, they will aspire to be brave. Similarly, people who believe in virtues will see humility as worth pursuing regardless of whether it makes one better off, long term or short term. It's just good to be humble. End of story.

The reasoning behind non-virtue ethics is usually complicated and subject to debate. It also usually shows that rules derived through such reasoning could contradict the desirable outcomes (that we intuitively find desirable). One of the particularly dangerous and undesirable such outcomes is the belief in moral relativism that opens a door to justifying a lot of actions we'd intuitively find repugnant.

Virtue ethics avoids moral relativism simply by not trying to base ethics in experimentation. Which is why some philosophers find it an appealing approach.
Your comment makes a lot of sense, though “diverse” is definitely a euphemism in this case.
Scam could have been done with Photoshop.

Meh. The only thing to make AI interesting was IF some box in a university basement decided to scam a rando with BrandPit while sorting email traffic.
Use a CD disk - really - it disperses light similarly to a dispersive prism. You can then see and estimate the amount of red, blue and green in a light. It works very well if you just want to check blue light sources at night. And you can even make a DIY spectrometer with it! https://youtu.be/p3MzQ1OF3lk

I'm sure you know of headlines vs details; when it comes down to it, space science relies on marketing to get some funding and interest in it, and using 100% accurate headlines is not good marketing.
I'm glad that darkness is respected in some places. The need to live in constant light is, to me, unnerving. Light pollution, like noise pollution, creates a myopic dome of sensory oblivion, separating us from experiencing the sounds of nature, the splendor the night sky, the emotions of isolation. I think we'd be better off with a nightly reminder of the natural world and expansive universe beyond our city block.
The OP's point is that it is still being repeated right now.
I was referring only to the desired governance structure of the US algorithms, not the general hedging strategies of billionaires. People can diversify their portfolios in whatever way is most advantageous to them and by whatever means they can get away with across the global financial system.
Shame for nostalgia reasons perhaps, these engines were made out of unicorn tears and the price tag reflected that. The new gen methalox engines are much saner economically.
This isn't proper usage of realloc:

lines = realloc(lines, (num_lines + 1) * sizeof(char *));

In case it cannot service the reallocation and returns NULL, it will overwrite "lines" with NULL, but the memory that "lines" referred to is still there and needs to be either freed or used.

The proper way to call it would be:

tmp = realloc(lines, (num_lines + 1) * sizeof(char *));

if (tmp == NULL) {
free(lines);
lines = NULL;
// ... possibly exit the program (without a memory leak)
} else {
lines = tmp;
}
I recommend engaging in this thread with the caveat that HN is obviously a technology community, and Israel has one of the world's most engaged technology communities.
Title could be “Nobody cares about the same things that I do”. Or simply “Nobody agrees with me”, which also would be exaggerated, but slightly less myopic.
lol yeah. That made it look like anything vaguely similar would be an attempt to model SJ, and triggered due diligence by her legal team. Not filing at that point would be de facto precedent that SJ did not lay claim to her voice likeness.

Sounds like SJ has a better legal team that OAI did.
Is it AI produced (if so, do they communicate it somewhere?) or do you believe it is?

I looked closely at it for this project... in some ways very appealing!

However to me it seemed like it would mostly improve the ergonomics of using components, whereas the ugliest template code I had was in the component definitions themselves and I think it wouldn't help much there.

Also, for my specific case we were deploying to AWS Lambda and I wanted to pre-compile all the Jinja templates. But JinjaX instantiates its own jinja env so our pre-compilation step (from top-level Django jinja env) couldn't reach the JinjaX defs. Probably there is a way to hack that into working.
The amount of mental gymnastics to justify censorship in this thread is off the charts. A really solid anti utopia material. One can probably make a dystopian museum exhibition with quotes from this thread.

On a similar note, I have never seen so much bigotry and populism on HN as in this and H1B threads.
As https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42722937 said, I was referring to the judicial reform and the gradual erosion of civil rights that the current government is driving forward within Israel, not in the occupied territories.

This is an intra-Israeli conflict that is (mostly) independent of the Israel-Palestine conflict (and also of the question how democratic a state is anyway that keeps ~50% of its inhabitants under permanent military rule). It falls more in line with the other shifts towards populist or authoritarian governments we have seen in the West. (Trump, Orban, Erdogan, etc)

It does have a unique Israeli flavor to it though, which does circle right back to Israel/Palestine: That the political force that's driving this authoritarian shift forward is closely associated with the settler movement and the most extreme voices regarding the Palestinians. This was also the case before the war - however, they took the war as opportunity to further erode civil rights, e.g. free speech and manipulate institutions such as the police.

> Migrating your build tool because you're hitting some edge-case or bug you don't understand doesn't bode well for your future use of other tools.

I suppose the patronizing attitude is the price for you sharing your wisdom with us.

FWIW I will also echo that webpack is very slow for me. For my current project, the initial build times were ~10 minutes and eventually balooned to 15+ after which I switched to rspack (~10seconds build times now). This comes with some caveats like I had ts typechecking vs swc (but I have ts watching separately, and it takes longer than rspack but is still around ~20s). For webpack 4, speed-measure-plugin used to work well (a long time ago I remember sass-loader being a bad bottleneck), but for v5 I've spent a decent amount of time trying to figure out issues, and it wasn't a simple process. The stats.json that gets generated was malformed for me, and I had to either modify it by hand, and even then it was pretty opaque. And I wasn't about to dive into profiling the node runtime to sort out the webpack issue because that time would be better spent on something like optimizing the chunks.

And I was using webpack because while the inital build times were slow, the incremental builds were really fast. Vite is horribly slow on refresh if there are a lot of files.
It's really hard for cultures to change. Outside of a major event (WW2 scale event) its likely to take multiple generations.

It can happen locally. Farmers markets are a thing. Supporting local owner-run, not chain, restaurants is a thing.

But in big cities, or nationally? Probably not in pur lifetime.

But it doesn't really matter what others do. It starts with what you do, for yourself. Look around, find small-scale suppliers. Support local producers where you can, and so on. The quality is usually better.
Fmtx: More intuitive printing values for Golang
Iran lost influence in Lebanon and Syria and these countries, for now at least, pose a much smaller threat to Israel. Perhaps we will even see normalizations in the nearer future.

Leaders in the middle east are also driven by their constituents, which still harbor a lot of resentment against Israel, but that will pass as well. I think this was the last chance of a significant insurgency to reorder powers in the middle east and Iran and its proxies lost a lot of influence.

Houthis have a strategic position and Yemen probably has one of the largest market for illegal weapons. But their capabilities are very limited and their raison d'être is a death cult with no future. At some point other Yemini forces will take charge.

For Israel it seems possible to strike through Iraq with some effort, and technically they are still at war after Iraq attacked Israel in . But that war is quite cold and there is some exchange at least with the Kurdish part of Iraq.

>You'd think a peoples so utterly out-gunned would lay low, but they somehow aren't. There's something else that's fanning the flames, keeping the hatred going.

Never underestimate Culture, Religion and Nationhood as motivators - the West has a coloured history of martyring itself in the pursuit of all three in the 21st Century.

In this case they have a clear picture of their future; imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. In that context its easily understood.

Backblaze Launches New Data Center in Canada
It's strange to me everyone acting as like TikTok's algorithm is completely unassailable and will always be better than the competition for years and decades to come. Tech moves fast and Meta/YT aren't just standing around.

If their only differentiating feature is the algorithm, Insta would eat them for lunch eventually the same they did for Snapchat after knocking off that app's big/only claim to fame (stories).

The discussion seems to be TikTok's algorithm is so good no one could ever possibly compete. I really don't think that's the case and TikTok really has no moat whatsoever.
I don't think this is a symmetrical situation. Life in Israel is quite comfortable. Young people have hopes and dreams beyond sacrificing themselves in an eternal war. Palestinians in Gaza have an extremely bleak outlook on the future and effectively no hope that anything meaningful will change in their lifetime, and they feel collectively humiliated by decades of occupation. Sacrificing "everything" is a lot easier when everything looks a lot like nothing.
This was a great (re)introduction to the fundamentals. Worthy of a bookmark.
I just have to point out - looking out an office window to the the data center we use here in Amsterdam - that Amsterdam is a city and not a country.

Illusory superiority - "a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their abilities compared to others"

We have really developed an entire culture in the US around illusory superiority.
It seems like the average person in 2025 thinks they are above average in basically everything.

I think this is a big reason why sports betting has taken off the way it has in the US. Every sports fan basically thinks they are way above average in their understanding of sports.
The ultimate MBA problem is that they don't recognize that a lack of footstaff is the root cause of a lot of problems - problems that just never occurred because there was always foot staff dealing with these unrecognized problems.

They trimmed the stores to the bone and now nobody wants to go to the store - it is just too much effort to go to the store to buy anything when there is no staff.

MBA brain, margin management, shareholder return over customers and employees is truly the root cause of why America feels less abundant than a third world country these days.

I assume that's an autocorrect for Proxmox. There is/was a Proxmox porting attempt out there.

I use Orange Pi 5 Plus in my home lab and I've found their builds of Debian are rock solid though a bit sus hosted in a Gdrive and pulling updates from Huawei repos instead of official. They do tend to be one or two kernel versions ahead of Armbian so it's unclear if the added stability is due to kernel version or some other patches and secret sauce. It has been quite some time since I've tried it. Ops 6.12 is well newer than the 6.7 or 8 last time I attempted Proxmox.

I've also found a lot of instability in what SSD you choose. Things are real bad on Samsung but after some research the Lexar nm790 is especially low power and this seems to have resolved my instabilities. There seems to be some kind of power handling issues on the oPi 5 Plus.
