There probably was no discussion about it. Back then you didn't have tens of managers looking to add their input to a project, so if you came up with something, you could just demo it, and unless someone had a very specific reason to reject it, nobody would.

I'm not saying this is the answer, but it very well could be that whoever wrote the function that handles this decided on an underscore and nobody ever even questioned it.

I'm willing to bet there are kids who do not though. Given how many crazy colours my IDE shows everything in, I could definitely believe there are people that go, 'Why bother, aren't those private members blue anyway?', or some such similar train of thought.

Of course if your IDE is little more than notepad, then such things are still important. For me, that's the Arduino IDE. I have to admit I really like writing micro controller code in it, it's a bit like writing code 30 years ago (both the good and bad parts).

I'm not sure about that. Since ancient times there were places where you could pay for food, but that was always a side business of an establishment whose main purpose was either (a) selling alcohol (or, in some places, coffee or tea) or (b) providing lodging for travelers.

I suspect that an establishment whose main purpose is selling food to order may be a fairly recent innovation.

form the price of internet service. That said, one of the really nice things about fiber deployments is that they need a lot fewer upgrades than coax. Fiber has way way way higher bandwidth, so once you've deployed it, the maintenance is cheaper than coax where the ISP has to do a ton of work to shuffle around bandwidth caps.
Also Zitron doesn't really seem to distinguish the AI tech steadily progressing which will probably go on and the investment boom which is probably a bit of a bubble. Quite likely there will be a financial pullback or crash where less money is spent but development will go on.

I can just say that this is awesome. I just did spend 10$ and a handful of querys to init up a app idea I had in a while.

The basic idea is working, it handled everything for me.

"A digital nomad who splits time between critiquing Facebook's UI decisions, unearthing obscure electronic music tracks with 3 plays on YouTube, and occasionally making fires on German islands. When not creating Dystopian Disco mixtapes or lamenting the lack of MIDI export in AI tools, they're probably archiving NYT articles before paywalls hit.

Roast

You've spent more time complaining about Facebook's UI than Facebook has spent designing it, yet you still check it enough to notice every change.

Your music discovery process is so complex it requires Discogs, Bandcamp, YouTube, and three specialized record stores, yet you're surprised when tracks only have 3 plays.

You're the only person who joined HN to discuss the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer from 1983 and somehow managed to submit two front-page stories about it in 2019-2020. The 80s called, they want their FM synthesis back."

That isn't a bug, that is correct behavior under their contract model (which I will admit isn't my favorite).

It is common for message based systems for the target system to own the contract, and they have both the / and /v3/ endpoints that you can grab the version information from.

This is documented BTW:

https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/v3/index.ht...

While I personally prefer the URL method, when versioning through custom headers, if you bump the API without that custom header, you will break way more than returning correct behavior for the minimum supported version, enforcing backward compatibility for API's is generally considered a best practice.

Note:

> If the OpenStack-API-Version header is not provided, act as if the minimum supported version was specified.

Once again, fully documented, expected behavior.

> The decrease is almost entirely due to gains in lighting efficiency in households...

The article is an interesting treatment of how lighting is getting more efficient and well worth a read. But pedantically zooming in on this one throwaway phrase for a second... this is a misinterpretation of the data on 2 levels.

1) The (badly labelled) graph seems to be displaying a very very slight linear uptrend for "residential".

2) Energy is literally the first example of where we expect to see Jevons paradox [0]. If its use is going down, that is because energy is getting more expensive in real terms. If the only trend here was lighting getting more efficient, households on aggregate would find ways to use more electricity because it is extremely fungible.

By default the proper way to interpret the data (if for the sake of argument I say what I would interpret as a slight uptrend is actually a downtrend) is that electricity is getting more expensive real terms. The impact that has on living standards is cushioned somewhat by improvements in lighting efficiency. But if electricity costs were steady and lighting efficiency improved we'd expect to see an increase in electricity use.

Uber and Cruise are both great examples of this, but it seems like the effect is mostly localized to the company itself that has the issue.

Uber hit and killed a jaywalking pedestrian, resulting in their self driving tech being sold to Aurora. [0]

Cruise hit a pedestrian that was flung into the cars path that a human driver hit previously. This resulted in GM completely abandoning Cruise and their future seems foggy at best. [1]

Show HN: Libredesk – Open-source customer support desk. Single binary app
Libredesk is a 100% free and open-source customer support desk, the backend is written in Go and the frontend is written in Vue JS with ShadnCN for UI components.

Unlike many "open-core" alternatives that lock essential features behind enterprise plans, Libredesk is fully open-source and plans to always stay this way.

I built this because I wanted a truly open and self-hosted alternative to platforms like Chatwoot, Intercom, and Zendesk.

It's in alpha right now, but there’s a working demo available.
Would love feedback, suggestions, and thoughts.

GitHub: https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk

I mean the things you mentioned are deeply out of style in restaurant cooking right now. So we already do look back on this in a similar way. And they were never that common either. This trend had a short peak and the training, staffing, equipment, r&d costs were all sky high. The backlash was very disproportionate imo; it was never my kind of thing either but you weren't going to run into it unless you were specifically seeking it out.

Sous vide is still used quietly because it's a very practical technique with good results for certain protein preparations, and there are plenty of other useful bits of craft through the book. Similarly I guess mayo didn't exactly disappear from american cooking.

The ironic thing is that not only are the tradies expensive, but prices for renting specialty machines are also crazy high where I currenly live. Like, I looked into renting a stand-up concrete grinder/sander -- $100 for 4 hours! Plus, you need to buy the sanding attachments which are another $200 if you go for diamond disks. I'm now actually considering using just a hand grinder and spend a whole week on what I could probably do in a day or two otherwise.

I'm assuming this is a bit facetious, that said, I think it is worth exploring.

Yes, you can use short hand to learn to write words faster, such that you may be surprised at how fast people can actually write. Certainly, you'd be surprised at how slow some people type. Especially when thinking.

More pertinent for notebooks, though, is how unstructured it can be. Learning to use the space of a page is a big thing that I could never really replicate with text on a computer.

Easy places this is relevant. Math when trying to work out something. Anything pictorial that I don't know how to type out. Graphical spots where I want large parts of it "scratched out" such that it is not relevant for the note I am taking now.
Regarding the Maine aricle:

>The association of automakers also alleges that because the “independent entity” has not created a “standardized platform,” they have no way to securely share vehicle data. They are asking the court to declare the law unenforceable until the independent entity has undertaken its obligations.

That sounds understandable. Just until the independent entity gets their act together.
Yes, I'm aware of the various things that have come around in the last couple of decades. I'm not saying that they aren't good, although there are a couple of things in that list that I think are arguably not great and many things not in that list that I think are actively harmful.

I'm just saying that they haven't given me any reason to be optimistic. I don't think that technology is going to fix what ails us.
Simple.

Postgres is hard, you have to learn SQL. SQL is hard and mean.

Mongo means we can just dump everyone into a magic box and worry about it later.No tables to create.

But their is little time, we need to ship our CRUD APP NOW! No one on the team knows SQL!

I'm actually using Postgres via Supabase for my current project, but I would probably never use straight up Postgres.
Mongo is real distributed and scalable DB, while postgres is single server DB, so main consideration could be if you need to scale beyond single server.
In Civ I there were resources, for example jungle tiles could have "gems", hills had "coal", grasslands had "game" etc. There was also another resource "luxuries" which is what I think you are talking about, you obtained these via establishing trade routes between cities, or by creating specialized citizens (entertainers).
The quality of the code is so much better!

The UI seems to have an issue with big artifacts but the model is noticeably smarter.

Congratulations on the release!
