I know this symbol is used for pesos, but when 24 countries refer to it as "dollar"[0] compared to 7 for "peso" it seems fair to call it a dollar symbol? Not to mention that it's referred to as "dollar" in unicode.

It's also very interesting to me that [1] mentions it can have one or two bars but in the list above the double-barred version is not only not in unicode but refers specifically to the cifrão[2].

I guess the TLDR is currency stuff is confusing and nonstandard more often than not.

Sonar: Perplexity's API
Ended up with Ag-Grid after using a couple other data tables in the past and have been using it for 4 years or so. Still the best product in the market in my eyes.

Only you can decide whether it's worth it for you - this depends on how many of its features you can actively use.

I also do not find it crappy, as otherwise written here. API is pretty solid and mighty (still, only ever used it with vanilla JS, not with frameworks - things might feel different with frameworks) and documentation is good enough. Occasionally have to look up stuff in its sourcecode though.

Otherwise: There's an open source version. Unless you need the features marked as "enterprise" features, you can at least try out the integration already. There are some pretty elementary features like row grouping part of the enterprise version, though, so do not assume you'll be able to actually stay on the community edition.
I guess it's mostly the same people on HN as those 12 years ago. Apparently I'd created my account in 2012 and at that point I'd been lurking for some time.

Well I'm still here but I've gotten a lot older. And you have, too!
I live by myself and "charge" calories to an account whenever I buy raw foods at the store or eat out. Then, whatever is in my house, I have already "accounted" for in my caloric budget. The strategy comes in figuring out what foods / combinations of foods leave me feeling satisfied. Beans (another great living-alone food, haha) are an allstar. I weigh ingredients for a lot of cooking only so I pace the consumption of rice, beans, etc.

The error in estimation of foods eaten out I treat as a constant factor baked into the daily caloric budget. If I'm gaining weight, the budget just needs to be tightened, i.e. rescaled to account for an error factor that was larger than anticipated. The problem basically becomes estimating one's own estimation error, then adjusting.
99% are there to make money? Really, you think it's that high?

I would say at least 75% are there just to consume. I can count on one hand the amount of people I know IRL that use social media primarily to make money.

I could be misreading your comment though.
Facebook is rapidly moving away from effective communication. AI slop, AI posters, and algorithmic preferences for decisiveness over local community with engagement farming algorithms. If the communication medium you use is turning toxic, it’s imperative to find alternatives before communication breaks down and a switch becomes impossible.
The margins the FDA allows for class 2 and third group nutrients are also quite generous. I'm sure they made sense back when they were first introduced, but as food science has improved, the standards have not.

> The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows calorie content to exceed label calories by up to 20%

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3605747/

> Class I nutrients are those added in fortified or fabricated foods. These nutrients are vitamins, minerals, protein, dietary fiber, or potassium. Class I nutrients must be present at 100% or more of the value declared on the label

> Class II nutrients are vitamins, minerals, protein, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, other carbohydrate, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, or potassium that occur naturally in a food product. Class II nutrients must be present at 80% or more of the value declared on the label.

> The Third Group nutrients include calories, sugars, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. [...] For foods with label declarations of Third Group nutrients, the ratio between the amount obtained by laboratory analysis and the amount declared on the product label in the Nutrition Facts panel must be 120% or less, i.e., the label is considered to be out of compliance if the nutrient content of a composite of the product is greater than 20% above the value declared on the label.

When I call WASM functions the types I have available to me are i32/64 and f32/64. There are not other options. Not even byte arrays.

If I need to pass strings, structs, bytes etc I have to allocate memory inside the WASM instance, serialize the data into this memory, pass the memory offset as a parameter to the function that should operate on it, deserialize the data and then clean up the mess. This is awkward, error prone and risky.

Yes, I do use WASM from a high level language that has automatic memory management. That's why this old fashioned messing about manually with memory allocation and doing pointer arithmetic seems like such a huge step back.

Yes, there are people that make plugin frameworks. And yes, one of the things they have to do is to hold their nose and just accept that this is the ugly reality of using WASM. It doesn't mean that this isn't a terrible design flaw. It is.

I like it showing you the possibilities when you click on a cell in a cage, but I was really wishing they had a "press shift and the number to set the cell value" feature. I messed myself up a couple of times by unselecting the wrong number when attempting to set the cell and not noticing for a couple of moves. For example, if a 10 cage is a 28 pair and I figure out that the left one is a 2 and the right is an 8, I was clicking on the left and hitting 2, making an error.

If you hold shift while hitting the number it should just set the cell to that number, not just erase a mark.
Brieflo: Summarize LinkedIn profiles with AI without visiting the profile
Hi HN,

I have just launched my first side project, a Chrome extension to summarize LinkedIn profiles without leaving the website and without visiting the profile.

Brieflo was born because I myself needed a tool to analyze profiles without having to read their education or experience. So maybe it could be useful to someone else.

We would love to get feedback ;)

I fail to see why universities should align on their country's strategic interests. Universities are not political nor military entities. Additionally, pie in the sky projects is what's needed to advance science, which is very distinct from advancing technology (industry).
2014 is way past the "hackers, nonconformists, weirdos, nerds, people who don't care about titles or clothes or what your genitals are" period of the industry. I entered the industry in 2011 and it was already bland, corporate, and hyper-capitalist by that point.

My sense is that the term is alluding to the late 90's or even earlier.
We’re not discussing the total population of the Earth. The thing about words is that their meaning may depend on context.

If we were discussing everyone who has lived and will ever live, the current population of the world would be a limited snapshot. Same if we were discussing every planet and civilisation in the fictional world of Start Trek.

But we’re not discussing that. Making up something we’re not talking about to attack what we are is called a straw man argument.

I would point to Jan 6 as a counterexample to your last sentence.

I had friends in Britain who I'd talk with about politics and throughout the Trump term said, well, we didn't get an own goal like Brexit. Although I didn't vote for him, I don't think anything terrible happened in the 1st Trump administration, except Jan 6.

The first time I saw the capitol dome I arrived on the concourse at Reagan Airport and felt something stir in my heart when I saw the capitol dome. In 2022 I took my wife to Washington DC to see the sites around the Mall and it really hurt me to see the front of the Capitol building (such a beautiful thing in itself, as well as a symbol of our institutions) wrapped up in plastic.

I saw Jan 6 live on TV and felt it it was a worse event than Sep 11 as it came from an enemy within. That Trump could be behind that and not be stopped from gaining power again by the courts, the party mechanism, and the voters, boggles my minds. I listened to The Rush Limbaugh Show the next day (about a week before he passed away from cancer) because I wanted to know what he had to say about it and he was just about as shocked as I was.

I think it depends on many things. Also ideology can play a heavy hand -- just imagine how the costs may fluctuate if country A decides to ban import of cheap wind power stuffs from country B.
I feel like you're being a bit disingenuous. The article stated that market competition has mostly thwarted the attempts of any single big tech company reaching the levels that WeChat has in China. If you're proposing Visa has done that (across all categories, not just financial), I'd be curious to hear your proposal.

To answer your question, though, Visa doesn't process payments for the dozen or so cannabis shops in my town and they are all thriving. I'm not saying it's common, or easy, but the answer is yes.
I had an InReach for years, mostly just for the satellite messaging. I tried this feature recently out on the trail with my iPhone and it worked great.

Thanks for the conversation. It's fun to talk about different things and explore new ideas even if hypothetically.

I've seen projects go off the rails trying to replicate Facebook's features for their groups, so make sure that your minimum actually means minimum in your MVP.

You can build out a million features for Facebook parity, but it doesn't mean much if you have low traction.

There were also cases where a simple Wordpress (or whatever) site would have worked, but the owners went all in on replicating FB features, instead of making sure users actually went to their new property at all.
The idea is great and is essentially the same premise as Beeminder (no relation, just a user)

Instead of pledging an amount up front, you instead provide card details and get charged if you miss your goal.

Reminds me of the time I turned myself into a Van de Graff generator at work.

I was a theater projectionist, back when you had 20 minute reels you had to constantly change, while babysitting two high-voltage, water-cooled, carbon arc projectors. Sometimes the film would break and you’d have to splice it. So when the theater got a print in, you had to count and log the number of splices for each reel, then the next theater would do the same and retire the print when it got too spliced up (plus, sometimes if it was the last night of a run, some lazy projectionists would splice it in place with masking tape and then you’d have to fix it). Sometimes you had to splice in new trailers or remove inappropriate ones as well.

Anyway, you counted splices by rapidly winding through the reel with a benchtop motor with a speed control belted to a takeup reel while the source spun freely. Then, while letting the film slide between your fingers, counting each “bump” you felt as it wound through. I was told to ground myself by touching the metal switch plate of the speed control knob with my other hand. One night I forgot and let go until my hair started rising. I’d gone through most of the reel at a very high speed and acquired its charge.

I reached for the switch plate and shot an 8-10” arcing discharge between the plate and my fingers.

Lesson learned, I held the switch plate from then on.
I can explain the "pile-on", because the climate has been unsafe for the last 10 years or so he might have gotten cancelled harder, with tangible business impact to his acquaintances. I know because I faced similar dilemmas as I commented on that article.

You know who you can't speak up against because they might feel upset, that your speech is mean, unkind or malicious? The privileged class. There has not been equality on social discourse for the last 10 years or so, at least for the intellectual crowd. I see this as a natural caused power balance cycle.

> I do not know from where you got "In 325, the solstice hadn't occurred on the 22nd for at least 90 years", but this is obviously incorrect.

It's linked. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html?year=300&n...

> Dates are based on the Julian calendar.

Within four years in either direction of 325, the latest occurrence of the solstice is around 9 AM on Dec 21. It seems safe to say that this could not have been interpreted as Dec 22.

In the year 325, the most recent winter solstice of Dec 22 had occurred in 235, 90 years prior, except that with a precise time of 12:15 am, I have no idea what calendar day would have been assigned to it.

As far as I can see, it is completely impossible for the solstice to wander across three calendar days in any four year period. Only two dates can ever be candidates in any given year or most stretches of twenty years.

> As also explained at the link provided by you, the dates quoted in various sources for the solstice dates supposedly reported by ancient Roman authors are frequently off by a day or two due to translation errors between the Roman calendar and the modern calendar, so they must be interpreted with care.

Well, what it actually says is that ancient Roman authors report the date as Dec 25 and that this is so obviously wrong that (a) those authors feel compelled to qualify Dec 25 as an approximate date; and (b) more modern translators intentionally give different dates, despite what the Latin says.

It also says that the Romans could only measure the solstice to within about one day, which is more in line with your comment, but not related to "translation errors". Those are measurement errors.

But we don't need to rely on reports to know when the solstice occurred. We can calculate it directly. With measurement errors of up to one day, the solstice around 325 AD could have been reported anywhere between Dec 19 and Dec 22. With actual occurrences ranging from 2:20 pm on the 20th (328) to 9:08 am on the 21st (323), the 19th and the 22nd are unlikely reports. Frankly, it seems safe to assume that the date was measured independently in several locations every year, which should give excellent estimates.
