You could both normalize the figures and include a separate graph for job posting density per month or something like that. Total posts on HN monthly would also be interesting to visualize. Is it trending up or down?

It's been a long time since I last installed a theme of any kind. In my past experiences, there was always aesthetic jank at the "boundaries" of themed vs unthemed elements. The "Fix for libadwaita (not perfect)" subheading doesn't inspire confidence - not a knock on this specific theme, just one of the hazards of theming in general.
You can't really discount the electricity from other sources on the grid in that equation. An EV is also receiving power from sources like wind and solar unlike a non-hybrid gas-powered car. There's nothing more efficient than not burning the fuel at all.

> the law prohibits you from making a copy without the owner’s permission. You can transfer the medium to someone else, but you can’t preserve the content for yourself.

In theory, the law only applies to distribution. Also, fair use and fair dealing exist in multiple jurisdictions, which includes personal-only usage. A company would have a hard time achieving a legal judgement against you for the mere act of copying a book. Distributing it? Sure.

Copyright law explicitly allows for backups, at least in the US, which is where most of the companies exhibiting this anti-ownership behavior are located and thus bound by US law, especially when the consumer is also US.

Owning a license means nothing when the other party to the license can revoke it at any time without further consideration.
Looks fixed to me, thanks! Now the die doesn't roll when I select an objective that has moved. That works, though I would prefer if these objectives were simply unselectable and the game had some kind of visual indication of which objectives you can select. Kind of like desktop GUIs, which grey out buttons you can't click rather than letting you click them but making them do nothing. I think that would make the game UI a bit "smoother" and more pleasant to use.

EDIT: This would combine very well with my suggestion from the previous comment: make the cards glow in the card selection stage, make the selectable objectives glow in the objective selection stage, and make the die glow when it should be rolled. That would let you get rid of two microfrustrations at once: the hints that cover the UI and the die that can be clicked but doesn't roll. If you also replaced the modal tutorial popup at the start with a top or side button, that would drop the UI microfrustrations to zero.

Also, I've just noticed that the cards are a bit blurry when zoomed in on hover.

I hope the feedback was helpful!

Yep. I cannot deal with "oh we decided to 'innovate' so we moved all the options to different places, renamed them and also half of them regressed" on a daily basis. I changed the IDE like 6 times in my career and I refuse to do it again. And when IntelliJ released "Rust Rover" that didn't have "attach to process" functional, I decided "I need to finish my own thing before current one regresses to the point I can't use it".

Plus there's the reality that the US can derail any plans for de-dollarizing by simply buying up crypto, in which case crypto is now fully backed by the dollar and becomes the same exact reserve currency as the dollar.

This is the most strategic defensive play the US can do, so unfortunately the case for BTC to get to a million is a valid one. It's outrageous, but missing this move will leave a lot of people even poorer, and it will happen all of a sudden. They are accumulating right now, and one day they will just set the new high price.

This article is not a reasonable take on the situation. It is saying America isn’t a “reliable partner”. What does that mean? Demanding that NATO countries pay their fair share instead of free loading, is now not being a reliable partner? If anything it’s the other way around, considering the US has funded Europe’s defense. America is still the best partner for Europe and it makes more sense for the two to rely on each other than to waste resources while China - an actual dangerous dictatorship - continues to rise.

It’s also odd to paint Trump as “dictatorial” given that European leaders constantly look for ways to control or punish free speech, or for ways to suppress election results they don’t like. Look at the coup in Ukraine in 2014, the actions taken after it, or the proposal to ban AfD in Germany, or the effort to reverse the Romanian election. It’s EU leadership that has become authoritarian.

Show HN: I built an AI accountability buddy to guilt-trip procrastinators
So, I've had this idea for a while now, an accountability buddy that calls you out if you make excuses and implements guilt so you can feel bad just like with a human accountability partner because when I looked at similar ideas everyone is saying that they don't stay accountable because it's not a real person.

EVs always win, even when powered by coal, because of the thermal efficiency of larger generators. The grid gets cleaner/low carbon over time (and cheaper per kwh, broadly speaking, due to the lower cost of renewables vs legacy thermal), a combustion vehicle burns petroleum for its entire service life. The search keywords to surface this are "well to wheel efficiency."

Spite and prioritizing the oil and gas industry for economic reasons. Which is somewhat humorous, as China is building EVs so fast, they are impairing the global oil market price. The US government simply cannot take enough action to assist the petroleum industry (for economic gains) to compensate for China's impact on the global oil market.

It's impossible to give a single answer to this because it depends on how you define "efficiency", and on what kinds of "fuel" you're talking about.

If you define it as (say) pounds of CO2 emitted per mile driven, then electric cars are about as efficient as gasoline-powered ones if the electricity comes from coal plants, but significantly better if it comes from natural gas. And of course, way better if you have access to renewables.
Especially with the proliferation of generative AI, I anticipate something of a tech backlash in the next decade, and performatively NOT looking at one's phone will be part of it.

It baffles me how people look at other administrations through rose colored glasses and pretend that the problem started since Trump took over and Musk is working on this DOGE stunt. The swamp has always been there.

It was never safe, and never will be, no matter who is the president and how outrageous some of their actions are.

To all the people saying that this is nothing new: to me the key point here is that the author of this article, Bert Hubert, isn't your average activist / purist linux hacker. He's at least somewhat influential in government circles, in that he has held various government IT consulting positions and is listened to by lots of government IT workers. He's one of the few people I know of who deeply understands how tech works, and also deeply understands how government works (at least the Dutch government). He's also a frequent guest in radio and TV shows and the likes.

I'm hoping that this article acts as a catalyst for the Dutch government, and other EU governments, to move everything away from American clouds.
Ok but what is the argument though? Culturally the left is weaker than it has ever been, to say the least!

Possibly to preempt: I hope you can also understand that saying something like "look at these certain kids at a liberal arts school and their crazy ideology" is not going to be a satisfying argument by any measure. It really shouldn't be whichever side your on. We need to strive to be rational and look at actual data or otherwise evidence as much as possible.

And again, the "left" that is probably in your mind absolutely hate the Democrats, so its just strange they could be cunning enough to come up with a whole nefarious plan to indoctrinate the kids but at the same time be dumb enough to still presumably shoot themselves in the foot about it.. It just doesnt add up!.

"Cloud" is not boxes like OVH and Hetzner sell. Cloud is a gigantic software layer offering all kinds of features and abstractions.

I think it'd be faster and cheaper to replicate GitHub or even Office, which are complex but fairly feature-stable, than to offer a real cloud competitor with a fraction of the services that Amazon, Microsoft or Google offer in their cloud portfolios.

I heard an interesting thought on the Lex Friedman podcast though. If software engineering really becomes cheaper and more readily available thanks to AI, maybe more companies will start building more of their own services. Then, maybe then, will the European enterprise be able to wean itself off from the big cloud vendors.

> That's how we all got our start though. Now we all work as software engineers.

Yes. It was so easy back then to play around with game development, web development, or desktop development. Around 2002, I hosted a web site for months on my local desktop server, reachable via a DynDNS solution.

Sorry for getting nostalgic, but it was even easier in the mid-90ies. As a 9 year old, I created a Dyna Blaster clone using a Demo-Version of "Klik&Play" on Windows 3.11 [0]. You could develop quite advanced games by just dragging around sprites, animating them, listening to mouse and keyboard events and object collisions. You could even "compile" the game into a single portable .exe! It was dead simple, but it introduced me to the basic concepts of programming and animation, and I didn't even realize it. A little later, I was able to teach myself BASIC by just reading the DOS man pages. We didn't even have internet back then. I very clearly remember realizing that "if ... then ... else" statements and variables were exactly what was missing in my "Klik&Play" demo-version. In the demo, you had to simulate these concepts by triggering the spawn of a hidden moving object and listening for the collision with another object. The hidden objects encoded the game state. Basically, the developers tried to remove Turing-completeness from the demo version, but failed and forced kids like myself to restore it via wild tricks (I remember feeling very clever when I had the idea for this trick). I only realized 2 decades later how useful these experiences were for a career in computer science.

First, I don't think we should take it as a given that all the admin. growth is just efficiently working on complying with regulations. And I'm pretty sure foreign countries, and travel to them, already existed in 1976. As did patents, contracts with other companies, and sanctions that US entities had to respect - remember, in 1976 there was the cold war.

Second and more importantly - these same schools ran successfully with much smaller administrations. The regulations you cite are not a law of nature - are universities or their bloated administrations lobbying to have this regulatory burden reduced or streamlined? It sure doesn't look like it.
