I betchya it's the same with psychological injury such as death of a loved one or rejection. Getting back on the horse of living your life stops your social connection tendons from shriveling up and becoming chronically hermetic. Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
Zamac alloys do not contain lead, except as a tiny amount of impurity (because we don't know how to completely remove it). Zamac is often confused for the more general "pot metal", which is a anything goes if it melts in a pot (that is on your kitchen stove!), lead often is in these, but the goal of people who use pot metal is cheap and don't worry about quality, such alloys make be as much as 50% lead because nobody cares (there is an upper limit, but defined more by it will no longer make it past the warranty).

Please keep your terms correct. Zamac is a very useful thing to look for in hobby metal casting because you can buy ingots for fairly cheap that will melt in your kitchen (I would still do it outside) and have useful known properties thus ensuring good results. Pot metal is a low quality product that you could also work with in your kitchen, but you have no idea what the results will be.

LEDs replaced CCFL tubes in backlighting. LED was still too dark until iPhone 4S or 5, but once it became bright enough and automatic brightness control matured, it quickly eliminated needs for transflective displays.

Transflective displays are also generally "low quality" in eyes of regular consumers. That drives down margins and eliminate less flashy options.

> Vatsim is a great place to start if you're very serious about your radio protocol

> They expect you to know what you're doing.

These two statements are a little contradictory. Definitely VATSIM is not a place to start, they expect you to know how to operate in ATC and even just operating your plane is a significant hurdle in the beginning which you need to get over before going to VATSIM.
So raise the cost until it's profitable and see who buys it.
Don't know how hyped people are about this after Meta let Spark users standing in the rain...
Yeah there seem to be lots and lots of bugs involving VR too and they're very slow to fix them. Some of the fixes have been delayed to the second sim update

So I hardly tried it yet myself. I'll just wait until it works properly. And I don't do flightsims without VR.

This is a fantastic product! It works really well for email servers
Interesting, however, we can't expose our cluster publicly (it's within a Google Cloud VPC). TBH, the lack of tools that support our config in general is frustrating. How would Pulse work in an environment like this?
FSacademy has lesson packs that I've found pretty good for Microsoft Flight simulator. Though they are not super US-centric.

The built-in lessons are decent for the basics. The older flight simulator lessons with Rod Machado were much, much better. I had picked up FSX on Steam for cheap during some sale, and they are available digitally there. I've still used that for reference, and even though they obviously don't integrate interactively with the new Microsoft Flight simulator, you can still use them as ideas to practice skills.

If you decide to get serious about it, bite the bullet and get rudder pedals. In my opinion adding feet coordination is a much bigger adjustment than yoke versus stick or a fancier stick.

Also VR is truly a game changer. It requires beefy hardware and will ratchet up the cost, but it will seem downright cheap compared to real flight time.
Out of interest, those IP ranges that you’re blocking… is that at DNS level or are you doing some firewall-level blocking too?

And do you use any kind of reference for determining which ranges/countries are wise to block or has this just been something you’ve evolved over time?
That's odd I remember checking Farnell because I use them myself, I guess I must have forgotten my coffee that day and missed it.
I’d suggest adjusting your demo, I also couldn’t figure out if “3D” meant a technique or a product here.

Very interesting, and seems like a delicate balance. Partial weight bearing reminds your body that you do need this bone to heal (much like lifting weights stimulates muscle growth). Too much instability, though, and the fracture won’t heal properly.
Where do you think all these powerful agencies came from?
Are you NATing the redirection to the pi hole server? If so, disabling it should let pihole see unique clients.
C++ is #199 with only one mention, and almost all top skills are front end. Ouch!
But as I said, if programs are of infinite length, then a diagonalization argument proves the computable numbers not to be countable I think.
I think the ubiquity of general disarray and confusion surrounding this agency is relevant to the discussion of whether or not we can trust their intentions and claims. So, further evidence of the extent of this general disarray and confusion is worth considering and not "pointless flame bait".
It looks like it is only web/cloud technologies.

Only a single mention of C++, and yet, it represents about 10% of GitHub, about the same level as JavaScript. But JavaScript gets 375 mentions.

I also don't see a single skill that relates to embedded software, except C, but C is not just for embedded software. And thinking about it, I don't see much about system programming either (no Unix/Linux?). And nothing about 3D graphics either (OpenGL, engines, ...).
That would be super cool if it just showed up as a PTY device, plugged in to the USB.

This is a really sexy explorer.

I love it. Love how snappy it is, love the thought that went into it, love the dark design. Awesome. I'll keep using the beta at work as long as I can but unfortunately I won't get funds to buy it for work. It's too bad that you can get updates only for one year with the normal license. Would have considered buying it for the price for private use but 200 is just too much for a file explorer.
This is not packaging hell, this is you having a personal problem with how other developers work.

Python has come an immensely long way in the world of packaging, the modern era of PEP 517/518 and the tooling that has come along with it is a game changer. There are very few language communities as old as Python with packaging ecosystems this healthy.

I've had conversations with members of SG15, the C++ tooling subgroup, where Python's packaging ecosystem and interfaces are looked on enviously as systems to steal ideas from.

To date neither system has flown a real mission, and SLS was originally scheduled to be operational by 2016. Was there a particular schedule for Starship you had in mind?

https://www.planetary.org/articles/20170515-anatomy-of-delay...

I'm also surprised you're willing and able to wave a 50x difference in cost. Sure, SpaceX is still in a bit of a riskier position, having developed all new hardware. But with what we've seen today, are you really claiming that companies are going to be lining up to pay $2 billion for the privilege of riding Boing? Or are you just betting that Starship won't fly?
> Do you think there exist any circumstances in which the NYT would say anything against the liberal narrative?

Get real. NYT has promoted Trump bullshit lies for years.
Well, of course you should, but it’s easy to forget as it’s not required. It also used to be recommended to not save it, so some people put it in their gitignore.

For example, here is a post saying it was previously recommended to not save it for libraries: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/08/29/committing-lockfiles.h...
I swear this was done deliberately to cause maximum confusion.
MSFS on the X Box Series S/X is incredible. It even supports joysticks. There’s just something about flying over cities you’ve been to and seeing them so realistically rendered. There are definitely some glitches, but overall it is a pretty amazing experience.
Then it seems unlikely you've given ublock origin a real try. Not only can you just use the adguard filter lists in ublock origin, but DNS-based adblocking is and has been increasingly insufficient. What ublock origin can do is a strict superset of what adguard can do, and will perform better as you avoid sending out network requests at all.
I love jokes like that. There's the one where a statistician goes hunting with a friend, and the friend shoots to the left of a target, then to the right, and the statistician excitedly cries, "Got 'em!"
We could even wait for a patch version or the minor being out a certain amount of time. For a major I'd wait even longer and potentially for a second patch.
Christoph Hellwig seems fun to interact with. He drive-by posts the same, repeated points and seemingly refuses to engage with any replies.
From what I’ve heard, his story is rather interesting. He had books with knights and medieval imagery, but couldn’t read or speak English, so he’d make up his own stories.

I think that’s part of why the Souls games (and later Elden Ring) have such a fascinating fusion of East and West. Isolation necessitates imagination.
I've been on Qulipta (a CGRP drug) daily for about a year now. It started working pretty much immediately, and I cannot think of a single side-effect in use, other than that you will have a withdrawal period pretty much immediately if you miss a dose.

Before that I've used Rizatriptan to treat rather than prevent (works well, but can cause brain fog, mood swings and GI issues). In order to get approval for the CGRP I had to try lower-cost drugs like Verapamil (a calcium channel blocker) which had no effects at all, positive or negative, and Topiramate, which is the single worst medication I've ever used. Compared to all of those, the CGRP is a miracle and has been life-changing.

Spring's annotations arguably are black magic, but while Spring offers DI, DI is not Spring, and honestly something like Guice is a lot easier to follow since it only does annotation-based DI and not a bunch of other stuff.
Maybe "You might want to move" now, "You probably want to move" in 5 years, and "You definitely should move" at the end game?
At the time of our investigation, we found few articles supporting that power caps could potentially cause hardware degradation, though I don't have the exact sources at hand. I see the child comment shared one example, and after some searching, I found a few more sources [1], [2].

That said, I'm not an electronics engineer, so my understanding might not be entirely accurate. It’s possible that the degradation was caused by power fluctuations rather than the power cap itself, or perhaps another factor was at play.

Nothing in languages that use exceptions prevent you for catching the generic exception type and handling it if you can recover/clean up. As I stated, my own rule of thumb (point (d) above) with respect to handling exceptions is "when I can/need to do something". If I can't do anything, then just bubble it up and log.

Case in point is accessing a remote REST endpoint where I might be throttled or the service might be down. I can do something (retry) so I'll write code that probably looks similar to Go with Err:

var retries = 0;

do {
try {
result = await makeServiceCall();
} catch {
if (retries == 3) throw;
retries++;
await Task.Delay(retries * 1000);
}
} while (retries < 3)

The exception bubbling mechanism just makes it optional so you determine when you want to stop the bubbling.
Wife has been struggling with vestibular migraines for about 20 years. It really came to a head about 5 years ago, and we spent the following three years seeing specialist after specialist and trying around a dozen different medications. During this time she had daily flare-ups and missed a lot of work and spent most days in bed or on the couch.

What ended up working in the end? We finally got into Mayo, and they suggested an SSRI (at a fairly high dose). She also figured out that she has a few food triggers (yogurt and freshly baked bread are 2 bad ones). She also discovered she has double vision, and now wears prism glasses. We think the combination of double vision and whatever brain chemistry imbalance she had was "overloading" her vision and vestibular systems, and she would basically just shut down. Treating both of those seems to have (mostly) alleviated things for her.

I completely understand what you've gone though and how frustrating it is, especially given the very vague criteria for diagnosing and treating vestibular migraine.
I have no rust knowledge let me ask

- is this hard to do in 500 lines of rust?
- is there a catch why a implementation in rust worth mentioning on HN?

don't get me wrong im realy intested in rust.
Magnetic switch traps quantum information carriers in one dimension
Only thing that annoyed me was that the “combat ratio” involved addition and subtraction rather than dividing! Otherwise great :-)
Rust has its uses but why would you write infra code in Rust when Go is used for most of it, and is just much more ergonomic and fast to work with. The iteration times with Rust are quite detrimental. On the other hand, most of k8s' ecosystem is in Go.

I don't like commenting in language-war territory things but I found your comment surprising. "Rust or JVM" for infra isn't a dichotomy I would expect.
Not completely true, these job postings rarely meet the style and experience required for the work, due to which they're required to be shared across the next month and so on...
Also, on the other hand, there is a problem on HR's behalf to correctly identify and match the applicants on the sole basis of their resumes. Which often times is years old and not updated and doesn't reflect the actual description of the person as readable by HR.
Hence, the problem of incorrect communication leads to inflated job postings and multiple rounds of tests in selection process, which can often be tiring.

Second part is mostly true, they might be, but what's exceptional talent if you can train anyone?
Yes, it obviously works well. I use it occasionally too. The question is why, culturally, there hasn’t been the same push towards something else when all the reasons we migrated off IE now apply to Chrome. Maybe Google permanently won the “browser placement on the internet’s homepage” game?
Except it only took 3 years for iD to release the Quake code.
That is exciting news. I will check out Scripton in greater depth, and with the right set of interface widgets I would be in the heart of your target market.
Well no, the Putin's party wasn't. The fraud was widespread and decently documented, but not prosecuted, which is not the case here.
So? Percentage points are only meaningful when the mean of the dataset is 0, which is not the case here.
The thing is, I'm not sure whether it's correct. But I'm in North America so not too bad unless the band moves a few thousand miles to the north.
They do, but most of the time they are smaller and cheaper. No need for huge cranking currents, really. The replacement for a Model 3 battery is about $90, for context.
No, I was just pointing out the scale of the required battery manufacturing.

It's an argument I like to use. When someone claims "we can't use X because of reason Y, we have to do Z instead" I look to see if Z also is hit by objection Y.

Another example of this is "renewables require too much material that we can't recycle", at which point I observe that the quantity of materials produced by society as a whole greatly exceeds what renewables would involve, even if the society is powered by nuclear. The US produces 600 megatons of construction and demolition waste a year, for example. Renewable waste would just be a minor blip on this existing waste stream. So, either recycling this waste isn't actually needed, or a putative sustainable nuclear-powered society has discovered how to recycle it, so just toss the renewable waste (which is almost entirely things like steel, aluminum, and glass) into that same recycling infrastructure.
Ask HN: Is there any encrypted portfolio tracker available?
Hi hn, over the years I have interacted with the stock market as well as cryptocurrencies but I have never put any serious effort on tracking this portfolio.

While I have saw that there are many portfolio tracker apps, I haven't been able to find anything that meets my requirements, then, I ended up with spreadsheets (which are helpful but they have its own drawbacks).

Have you seen anything covering most of these scenarios?

1. Support the traditional stock market as well as cryptocurrencies.

2. There is no need to link any stock services or crypto wallets, data can be entered manually or imported from CSV files.

3. Support for multiple currencies (USD, EUR, etc).

4. Support for including fees as well as dividends.

5. Data can be exported.

6. Data is stored in a server but it is encrypted at the client, this means that the server can't read it.

Thanks.
And then they went towards a more evergreen update strategy, causing some major outages when some releases caused issues.

I mean evergreen releases make sense imo, as the overhead of maintaining older versions for a long time is huge, but you need to have canary releases, monitoring, and gradual rollout plans; for something like Windows, this should be done with a lot of care. Even a 1% release rate will affect hundreds of thousands if not millions of systems.
Anyone can RICE their joints. It's foolproof, more or less objective and requires no monitoring from a professional.

What defines optimal load? It sounds impossible to gauge, unless maybe if you're working with a physical therapist. Then, what happens if load more than the optimal level? Is the outcome worse than if you just stuck to RICE? I think these are things that have to be considered for medical protocols.
AI will get faster and more energy efficient over time. Deploying physical hardware will never improve in any meaningful way that fixes the biggest problem, deploying X amount of things everywhere you need it. Its a non-starter.
Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I’ll definitely add more context and details to improve clarity in the project. I agree that 1500+ job ads are a starting point rather than a definitive trend analysis. That’s why I plan to continue collecting and analyzing job postings over time to get a more representative dataset.

To answer your questions — the job ads were primarily sourced using search queries tailored to each category. For example, the "Frontend" category included searches for "Frontend Developer" / "Frontend Engineer" / "Frontend Web Developer". Similar criteria was used for other categories too.

The dataset covers multiple countries but is predominantly focused on regions: North America and EU.
My relationship with Fighting Fantasy started as a kid and never died

I have a bunch of original art from a few of these books I picked up a few years back. I haven't managed to find the time to frame and hang it all, but the quality of the interior illustrations is something else.

About ten years ago I worked with one of my friends to license and print a Freeway Fighter comic. It never made it's money back but the process was enjoyable and having a physical paper output of your efforts is wonderful. I still have a crate of unsold issues that I should eventually put on eBay or something...

It definitely depends on the person and the state of mind they have when they go into it. I've had really overwhelming de-personalization episodes on LSD as well and they were extremely positive, life transforming experiences. I had studied and practiced Buddhism for years prior to having those experiences, though, which helped me integrate what was happening. It was like all of a sudden getting a direct experience of what was previously just words and philosophy -- "oh, this is what he was talking about."

Had I gone into it totally blind with no way to frame it it probably would have been a nightmarish scenario though. There's a reason why Right View (samyak-drishti) is the first of the 8 Noble Truths [1] and the one really emphasized in the beginning of your Buddhist practice.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_(Buddhism)
Seconded! I’ve been using it for multiple years and it is extremely good, and reliable.

There are always some features that I wish it had, but ultimately it does a really good job.

It’s easy to take for granted the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining such awesome tools.
Programming Principles as Memes
First off, I’d love to hear more about your experience. If you’re up for a chat, shoot me an email at tobias@backdrop.tech, or let me know where I can learn more about what you’ve worked on!

1. I assume you mean patience when setting up a 3D scene? That’s definitely a factor, but it’s getting easier with image-to-3D tools, and AI can even assist with object placement to speed things up.

2.Yeah, predictability is key. Our approach is about making it easier to generate high-quality, consistent images, which are then fed into video models—rather than relying on direct video-to-video style transfer, which can be more chaotic.

3. Agreed! AI can animate things that traditional methods struggle with, but consistency is still a challenge. This workflow helps strike a balance between AI flexibility and user control.
Good Luck, HP trying to keep Humane afloat
Then why even have the dependency file?

If the dependency file is wrong, and describes versions that are incompatible with the project, it should be fixed. Duplicating that information elsewhere is wrong.

Lockfiles have a very obvious use case: Replicable builds across machines in CI. You want to ensure that all the builds in the farm are testing the same thing across multiple runs, and that new behaviors aren't introduced because numpy got revved in the middle of the process. When that collective testing process is over, the lockfile is discarded.

You should not use lockfiles as a "backup" to pyproject.toml. The version constraints in pyproject.toml should be correct. If you need to restrict to a single specific version, do so, "== 2.2.9" works fine.
Actually, as I say this, I wonder if this is part of why some people actually like AI autocomplete. If you struggle to type, the predictive stuff has a lot more value.
Congratulations on Launch
> software is a high attrition industry with career advancements done mostly through lateral movement

If employees invest in training up employees (and more than just the standard HR pablum anybody who isn't a complete sociopath already know and the sociopaths spend their time trying to game all of the parts of the system) then the incentive will be to retain them else they will have to go through that training from scratch again on whomever they hire.

If you give people a place to work where they don't constantly feel like they're fighting fires, where they're not always begging for a raise, and where they're at an office designed to cater to the needs of employees rather than employers then you'd be surprised how long most workers will stay there.
Wow, just a few days ago I used ChatGPT and Claude to create bots to battle in CRobots!

Seizing resources from party A that they could have used for speech, and giving them to party B so that they can use them for their speech, seems to me to be contrary to free speech.
