Oh sorry. I meant a reasonable price.

All these folks talking about >$100 for slower speeds is insane in 2025.

I could get ~1Gbs for £35.

I don't know what I would do if I was forced to go back to BT, so I can relate.
We used to have to do this in high school in AP CS in the early 90s. All the tests were to write such and such with pencil and paper. We would get marked off for syntactical mistakes.

I had totally forgotten about this. I still have the PASCAL book.
A better metric imho would be time to a wild animal. I'd go with distance to a wild bear, or anything else that could threaten a human. That is where wilderness starts imho. For London, that measurement is likely hundreds of miles. In much of north america, it is probably be less than one. I've been to the English countryside. It is more city park than open country.
What about hobbies that are more unisex? A lot of women hike, maybe find a hiking or bike riding group. Something with art, books, whatever. Branch out into other things, find something you can genuinely enjoy. Don't go into it with the mindset you're gonna date, just have fun and get to know people. If something is going to happen, let it naturally happen.

> Yoga and Pilates classes aren’t known for their social atmosphere and if you join in on a cardio dance class - your sexuality and masculinity will inherently be questioned.

If you're really interested in joining those, just do it. Who cares what people think? If someone thinks less of you because your hobby isn't manly, that's their problem.
The Hydrogen Ladder by Michael Liebreich is a good take on it. For must use cases Hydrogen is overhyped by the fossil industry.

But for some use cases like fertilizer and fuel for jet aviation and ocean going shipping it is the only realistic pathway we see today.

Now that renewables deliver cheap energy it is time to spend the big bucks to enabling the decarbonization of the use cases not solved by batteries.

And Android Studio is even worse (that is weird, the bare IDE is the same as others, but the android apis and tooling overshadow it). And the use of Gradle multiplied it by 1000.
I'm in a similar business. It's fun working with the spoils of corporations in crisis or bankruptcy, one gets to see the insides of them and figure out where they went wrong without having to get employed there.
I love how they just ripped Commodore's Plus/4 to make their 95. They also did give their Micro Professor II clone an Atari 1200 look.

Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology (2015)
This seems more like a move designed to frighten China -- or force them to spend money making LLMs -- then an actual threat. The clues are that Trump ceremonially blessed the deal but did not promise money (SoftBank et al will, supposedly), and then Musk said that's all fake because SoftBank doesn't have the money, and Altman countered that Musk should not be butthurt and should put America first. Who does that? I'm thinking, no one who has something real on his hands.
The source study for this article was discussed here a few days ago:

> If outlook is clicking on links or buttons that generate POST requests

It isn't though, it's loading URLs it finds in emails, and then runs scripts on those loaded websites, like many "modern" scrapers/crawlers.

So if your JavaScript on that URL automatically does POST requests on load, those will happen automatically when their scanner loads the website.

But if you instead don't do a POST request on JavaScript load, and do that request when the user presses an actual button on the loaded website, the scanner won't trigger that button automatically (that would be a whole new level of craziness, we're not there (yet))

So yes, it is a workaround. I've implemented this 10s of times already, because it's been an issue for a long time.

Edit: The submission article also makes it abundantly clear that this is the very problem they're suffering from:

> Microsoft’s security scanning will now not only visit the links you mail out, they will also run the JavaScript on your page, and will also send out any POSTs generated by that JavaScript:

The problem is that their JavaScript automatically issues POST request on load, not that Outlook loads and executes JavaScript on the page (although that sucks too, don't get me wrong).

Since Volvo was mentioned in the parent comment, did you know that if you buy a new Volvo you can get two free plane tickets to Gothenburg + one night's hotel stay to go pick it up at the Volvo factory? You can drive it around Europe for a while and then they will ship it back to the US for you. AFAIK it doesn't cost extra, it just adds some lead time as well as time waiting for your car to get to you after you fly home: https://www.volvocars.com/us/l/osd-tourist/

Bun is a build tool and code runner primarily. It can run a tsx or js file, and it can do bundling or the compilation of TypeScript into regular JS. It also manages packages and can run tests. It aims (I think) to be a node compatible replacement for node.

NIH staff openly conspired against both the public and the President last time Trump was in charge in many different ways. What Fauci and his grantees did wasn't subtle, so the fixes aren't going to be subtle either: the NIH needs either to be abandoned entirely or it needs a massive purge and culture change.

Fundamentally a civilized society cannot tolerate bureaucracies that act like they did during COVID. Fauci is gone now but unfortunately the NIH as an institution is deserving of any and all damage Trump does to them. Frankly if I were in his shoes I'd be going much further than mere freezes.
I remember Mohammed Said (of Laravel fame) telling this story to Matt Stauffer in the Laravel Podcast. He wrote is programs at home on pen and paper and went to the public library to try them out.

If you are saying that you too were on a carnivore diet long term (5+ years) and very possibly experienced "the worst possible outcome" related to cholesterol levels, you would be the first person to report as such. Perhaps you would like to publish the anecdote in detail somewhere (including just exactly what you ate, as "a high cholesterol diet" is imprecise enough to mean many things)?
I think that is exactly why tailwind is good and nice. Although I also like that it makes “how do I do X?” a quick doc search instead of a 30 minute research project

Ulbricht's career represents many core values of a certain wing of today's Libertarians.

I'm interested in the downvotes. Do you disagree that undocumented people are working in many/most kitchens across the US? Does that fact just make you uncomfortable? Do you think that deporting them would suddenly cause a surge in qualified people to replace them (it won't)? Do you think that restaurants could handle this without issue?

I have friends and family in the restaurant business so I'd love to hear other viewpoints but downvotes for what is a pretty solid fact just strikes me as odd.
It doesn't really do anything for the browser. It provides a really fast runtime for JS to run in a server, a stdlib for http, crypto, and filesystem (among others) that JS lacks, a bundler for JS projects to go to a browser and a compiler for typescript to JS, among a few other things.

Show HN: Suno.com Songs On Any Discord Server
A couple months ago I made a scraper for suno.com that can create and download songs. It worked well so I decided to build a Discord bot on top and allow my server members to make music.

The bot accepts images, short videos and text as input. You pick a genre and vibe and the bot will log into one of your Suno accounts and do its job.

Ideally you create 5-10 Suno accounts so you can parallelize song creation. Also, you'll need a Twilio account for OTP verification. I tried several other providers but none besides Twilio allowed OTPs.

There are three repos you need to deploy:

https://github.com/stefanionescu/suno-music-discord-bot
https://github.com/stefanionescu/suno-music-lambda
https://github.com/stefanionescu/suno-music-scraper

The bot calls Lambda which then triggers a Fargate task that does the actual song creation and download.

Hit me up if you need help with the setup! Btw, I build all kinds of consumer apps/projects and am looking for a cofounder in SF or London to team up for my next project.

Enjoy :)
IMO the operator error is seeing an error code in a safety critical system and simply choosing to ignore it because it happens too often.

My strategy is to avoid topics that negatively affect me at all, unless the topic at hand directly and immediately impacts me in some way. I cut off all social media except HN and don't browse anything else. (Except YT I guess, but I don't comment a lot there so I don't count it.)

Commentwise, I always ask myself if I'm about to comment because I have something meaningful to add, or if I'm commenting to argue with the parent. If it's the latter, I just close the tab. Life's too short to argue on the Internet.
From high resolution Digital Elevation Models. They first compute the flow direction from every pixel; from flow direction, the compute flow accumulation at every pixel. They then filter based on some threshold for catchment area, and vectorize the flow paths.

My point was more, sending a POST request IFF a user interacts isn't a work around, but the expected and desired behavior. It's a bug otherwise. Fixing a bug shouldn't be called a work around. A work around is when you can't fix a bug somewhere else.
Does someone know why this is? I assume it's Google just assuming it's the only app source and not bothering to check the installation source associated with apps when pulling them into its update check list. Or is there no way on Android to check whether you're the one that installed an app?

That's an interesting perspective on inheritance.

The problem I see inheritance solving is not having to distribute subtype-specific logic throughout your code base - functions can interact with objects in a generic manner and you get to keep subtype-specific code all in one spot. That's a win.

Inheritance isn't the only means for achieving this capability, though. You can also use interfaces and protocols. I prefer to use interfaces. If my class needs to implement an interface than that's explicit: it implements the interface. I can use inheritance if the class really IS-A variant of another class and it can use that base class in fulfilling its obligation in implementing that interface. That's an implementation detail. But the fact it has responsibility for implementing that interface is made explicit.

> You're not supposed to send off a POST request directly as the page has been loaded to exchange the tokens, but require the user to click on a button to confirm the activity.

Since requiring the user to do anything drastically reduces the go-through rate, the current "standard" is to use either a meta-refresh tag, a HTTP Refresh header [1], setting location.href from JS or a <form> that gets submitted via JavaScript, and a <button> inside a <noscript> for those that don't do JS.

Used to be enough but nowadays content scanners run legitimate chromium embedded and whatnot, which obviously trips over at least the refresh tag/header and the automated Javascript solutions. And that's the problem.

If a page contains JavaScript that makes a POST request when the page loads, then it’s the developers of that page that are violating HTTP norms, not the developers of software that loads such pages. POSTs are unsafe requests that should be made as part of a user’s intent. Following a link should always be safe. Microsoft aren’t responsible for this problem – the site developers are.

We already went through this with Google Web Accelerator and 37Signals twice. They couldn’t accept that mere links were a bad idea for deleting things, and GWA came along and deleted their users’ data by following links. They tried to detect and block GWA instead of following HTTP rules and it happened again.

Links are supposed to be safe. Ignore this at your peril.
In reality, you should be more worried about a DMCA claim or cease and desist.

Microsoft cannot move fast enough to present any real concern to someone who is dedicated.

The Microsoft login seems more reasonable, at that point they can filter out bad actors presumably.
This isn't really that uncommon of a thing. Just talk to your ex-Soviet friends. I worked with a Network Engineer whose computer time in uni was limited, so he did exactly this.
> Taking the money of some clueless holder of money - optimistically calling themselves as investors, never as suckers for sure - and fraud away.

Generally, investors in early-ish-stage startups, that is those which are most likely to unexpectedly implode, scattering office furniture all over the place, know very well what they're getting into; they're specialist VCs who invest in, say, 50 startups in the hope that two or three will be worth something.

Though, the nature of the game is that sometimes, one of these will have a truly massive breakout success, by accident, and it will totally screw up their view of risk from then on, leading them to put vast amounts of money into things which could not possibly work. Looking at you, Softbank.

An E2E email client that would do that scanning client-side instead of remotely (like today), would surface exactly the same issue if it goes out and loads up websites for you.
Yeah. My last gig had a pretty bad culture. That's why it bubbled up to the surface.
If there's fraud, then prosecute it legally. But I am in no way obligated to feel any sympathy to investors getting fleeced. It's their responsibility to do their own due diligence, and if they're getting taken in for, I am hard pressed to give a shit.
That's true, but man am I mad at the Democrats for entirely abandoning that demo for decades before. It lead to this situation.

Almost nobody thinks Luigi Mangione or Ross Ulbricht are innocent, or were falsely accused. Neither of the 3 cases are remotely comparable beyond being "people charged with crimes that there is some public sympathy for."

Most people seem to think Ulbricht was guilty, and deserved to be found guilty and go to prison, but that the full sentence didn't fit the crime.

Sounds like something you can use to justify a higher selling price when the time comes
High spending on office furniture etc is _not_ a common behaviour for early-stage startups, tho. It's really something that you see more from mid-stage, and generally at a point where it doesn't _really_ matter; the amounts just aren't significant enough to make more than a few days' difference to the startup's lifespan if the next raise doesn't work out.
Looks great. I love the minimalist styling. My wife is a product manager / product owner, so I (wrongly, it seems) assumed that "product people" meant falling into that line of work (as that's how she and others in product tend to describe themselves.)

Other than that misunderstanding, my only other comment is perhaps a personal gripe -- the marquee scroll at the top makes it very hard for me to concentrate on anything else on the page. I was going to attribute this merely to me being challenged or ADHD in some way, but then I remembered that we deprecated the <marquee> tag in HTML and there was probably a reason for that.
