> Transforming existing agencies inside out, might be close to impossible

Our country has a rich history of remaking its federal bureaucracy. The key is there was a mission in mind that was clearly communicated and unwaveringly pursued by someone with authority to act.

DOGE is Musk's fever dream. He pitched it to Trump (not the other way). There has been no mission articulated other than to reduce "waste" (never defined), with an incomptent cadre of remarkably-clueless young men haphazardly darting between federal government buildings in no clear order and having done zero prior homework. There is evidence they're creating more chaos--and thus waste--than they're identifying, and even everything supposedly identified has been slashed so incompetently that it's unlikely we'll realise any savings from it. (I'd love to tally up the government's legal time stolen by this Friday-night email me your job description nonsense.)

DOGE is a power grab. It looked concerning early on, particularly when it showed a whiff of political acumen in prioritising the shutdown of USAID. But it's being pursued so incompetently, now, that I'm now less worried about prosecuting the DOGE bros than I am about containing its cost.
Uggh, what sad replies & lack of defense amid the replies for TSMC America! 'Lazy American worker!' yada yada.

Arizona fab has had top notch quality, out-pacing Taiwan's yields. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/ts...

Right, that can definitely be done. I was just wondering what specific things you're hoping to find with a fuzzy search so I can make sure it's implemented well
I have a second yubikey which I keep in a safe and every time I set up the primary yubikey on an account I also make sure to enroll the backup one too. I'm not likely to have mine stolen so I don't keep the spare offsite, it's more insurance in case I lose it. I also have an airtag attached to the primary key for the same reason.
Hard disagree: I never used Datomic and likely never will, and I don't feel like I'm "losing some of the language's value". Datomic is a database. You can use any database you like.
But isn’t it still the same? You just need to be reasonable what a „normal job” is.
As of 2023, eu citizens report higher satisfaction than us, although by 0.3 which is not that much
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/united-states/

EU citizens lifespan is also (very roughly) a few years more than us citizens.

Is the purpose of life living a happier, fuller life or being richer? I'd rather take the former than the latter.

On a more serious approach, I guess millionaires in usa will fare better than poor Americans, but at least in Europe you will still have access to some sort of safety net when things get rough. As imperfect as eu might be, I do not get why the hatred is so strong (especially for some libertarian or similar breeds here on hackernews, the thread on eurollm had quite strong opinions on both sides)
700 real watts or equivalent watts?
Artificial intelligence, as others are using it here to cover a broad field of study or set of techniques. You seem to be objecting because the described product is not "an artificial intelligence", i.e. an artificial mind.

For some of us, your objection sounds as silly as if we were to tell some student they didn't use algebra, because what they wrote down isn't "an algebra".
I showed this to a bunch of friends none of whom use emacs and they're _really_ excited about it. Most of them aren't programmers.
In terms of a compromise being “all or nothing,” most secure accounts should have a password (which you can manage in BitWarden) AND a second factor (ideally not tied to your phone; ex: a YubiKey). That way even in the nightmare scenario that someone gets into your password manager there’s extra legwork they’d need to do to ruin you.

The DOS 3.3 sys.com bug hunt
It's a bit premature to call it an alliance. So far there have only been talks.

> trying to turn Ukraine into basically colony (by demanding their resources forever)

Keep in mind it was Ukraine that proposed the idea of offering their resources back in October 2024[0]

The site says that in a blue bubble below the input field (I agree it's not very noticeable at all):

> This example demonstrates that the map should be interpreted with care; some translations have the meaning "she lasts" or "it works".

Another mistake for this example, although subtler, is the Dutch version, which is translated to the meaning of "she walks"
Enforcement is a different matter entirely. I was originally responding to an argument about the legality of deception. A lack of enforcement does not make it more defensible.
Noone needs to be so rich they can casually biy whole governments. Rich enough to never work another day if they don't want to is plenty. Producing multibillionares is not a good thing
Thank you for your comment. I am not saying the field was not stalled because of these frauds, I am saying I do not think it was significantly stalled. I think fraud is an easy scapegoat for broader issues, especially when the case that people keep referring to is whether a single amyloid beta oligomer species is involved. There are some very esteemed researchers who do not believe oligomers are physiologically relevant or discrete enough to be analyzed at all. I am trying to point out the ways that "amyloid hypothesis" actually refers to many distinct things to try to prevent very non-specific reactions like another comment that replied to me had, where we decide to throw out amyloid research entirely for chronic inflammation, etc.

If we want less fraud, we need less incentives for fraud. What do you think the easiest route to take is when funding in a field that already attracts some nutso people is cut every year? That so little fraud happens is a testament to the integrity of most scientists. I grew up part of an ascetic religious sect. The personality types of many scientists in the field are that of the hermits I knew as a child. You probably cannot totally get rid of fraud, some people cannot really seem to produce anything themselves, they exist, they will find some way to survive (often better than those who are not this way). You can keep rates of fraud low, but if you think it is more prevalent than it is, you risk developing a social autoimmune disease. Remember that means-testing has its own costs, too.

I had exported my tokens out of Authy when they had killed the desktop version, and imported into KeypassXC.

I find keypassxc which I use for managing passwords and now TOTP to be the best option for me.

I still use Authy on mobile but having an offline backup is great.
Authenticators are a commodity at this point. None are special.
HTML to SQLite Example
There are instances where so-called "web APIs" returning JSON do not offer as much information as webpage HTML. Example: HN webpages indicate which items are [flagged] or labeled as [dupe] but the "HN API" JSON does not. Using a UNIX filter we can create our own "API" by transforming the HTML to SQLite and querying data from HN webpages as an SQLite database.

Reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42923154
I think of it more like a pincushion. A needle will go right into it with very little resistance. One’s hand or fingertip — not so much.
Agreed. At least 5 examples of output shown being used against a standard markdown document.
I’ve never used Scala or Clojure, but I heard them discussed a lot in the same circles in the late teens. It seems like Scala kinda vanished from common mention. Whatever happened to it, and what made Clojure take off?
I had an AI classification system review 30,000 posts and picked the top 300 or so.

I was actually AB testing the $20/month but people didn't like it so I switched back to $30 lifetime order.

I'd love any other feedback or input you have.
And yet from some of the HN comments I've seen on this topic it seems that quite a few of the Americans are stockholm syndromed to the point that if you do not want to benefit the ultra rich at the expense of regular people by removing their healthcare, vacations, employee safety and protection rights, ability to unionize, and basically by doing all you can to milk the average worker for your own gain, then you're stupid, and they demean EU by constantly bringing up the tired trope of us not having some mega billion valuation companies here because ... our people have rights ... and so no law-breaking/lobbying silicon valley god wants to come here.

And they say this seemingly without realizing that yes, that is exactly by design. This is what we want. Keep your mega wealthy and 3rd world life quality, and we'll here be poor, but can at least attend our children being born without getting fired for it, and giving our mothers a year or more of paid maternity leave, among many many other things we value a hell of a lot more than making our billionaires richer.
The 4 major cloud vendors (Azure, AWS, GCP and Oracle) all have Air-gapped regions in addition to their "GovCloud" regions.
Yeah I had to do the double-take when I saw the J, D and K there.

I shouldn't have been confused as I saw this repo browsing GitHub on the weekend.

Two major contributions that I think Half-Life did to the gaming industry:

1. Shew that FPS games can be more than pure shooters and still succeeded;

2. First time that an official, easy to use level editor (Worldcraft) was included in the CD of a major hit FPS. Doom and Quake definitely started the modding scene but arguably Half-Life made it more popular.
Good. If you look at the people who are ultra rich they ultimately seem incredibly unhappy, the richest people in the world have more than they could ever use and still aren't satisfied. This incredible amount of wealth and power comes at a massive societal cost and it isn't even helping the lives of the handful of people who are getting it.
So all atoms are married?
congratulations on missing the point.

the real point is not ipv6 (or this or that specific service). the point is the attitude.

anybody in this subthread bikeshedding what aws service supports what version of the ip protocol has missed the point and would probably fail a text comprehension test.
My hope is to save people time and thought $30 is fair to save hours searching through posts one self!
As a data point: I've been running my solo-founder SaaS business for 10 years now using Clojure. It changed my life. It would not have been possible without Clojure and ClojureScript, building and maintaining an app of this complexity would have exceeded my limits.

The article is excellent and I agree with everything in it.

The stability of the language is unbelievably useful. I look around and it seems it isn't valued in many other ecosystems where people have to rewrite their software regularly. I can't afford to rewrite my app.

There will be plenty of armchair critics here, with cliché knee-jerk reactions (parentheses, JVM, startup time, etc). If you intend to form an opinion, I would suggest you read only into the insightful posts, from people who actually used the language, or from critics who present well thought-out criticism, not just a shallow knee-jerk reaction.
The point is there is no difference except spelling.

Open sourcing my project feels terrifying. Is this anxiety normal?
I'm currently working on an performance focused image viewer w/ a built-in terminal for Windows and it is open source but I have not announced it anywhere so nobody know about it just yet.

I think it is in a state to start gaining some user feedback & general traction but I have this deep fear that has been planted in my head by SWE Twitter elitism and a strange fear of letting strangers down.

What if people think the code is rubbish? What if people hate the project? What if nobody contributes? What if it just ends up being an embarrassing mess of a project that nobody cares about?

I know all of these thoughts are so silly but I just can't shake that feeling when I start having eyes on my project & code. I am really proud of it and personally love the project, I'm just worried others won't feel that way.

On a less personal note: How do you guys go about announcing OSS projects? I'm considering posting on the HN Show section & my person Twitter (to my 50 followers haha). Are there any other places people might enjoy seeing this sort of thing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - this is going to be my first time in ~a decade of writing software that I open source & market my project. All these years of building in the dark and now everyone will be able to look at it!
> for what purpose…
There is a belief that many in government are not even checking their communications. It’s designed to help identify those folks who are not doing their job. My guess is that now with enough news coverage, those folks will make sure they respond, but at the very least if they have been “slacking off” on their duties, this will communicate that someone is starting to pay attention now, where perhaps someone wasn’t before.

> chain of command… If they are part of the executive branch and the president or one of his delegates ask for it, they are in the chain of command.

> guy running the scanner…

My guess is that guy probably won’t have a “government email address” and if he does, he responds with “I worked xx shifts for xx hours running the scanner at the airport per my prescribed job duties requires.

I'm curious about where you would draw the line on government workforce/spending reductions. What specific cost-cutting measures would go too far and make you withdraw support from Trump/MAGA-related initiatives?

For example:

- Complete elimination of federal workforce (RAGE)

- Full military withdrawal from NATO/Europe

- Dramatic cuts to essential services (eg, Social Security)

What potential actions would make you feel the downsides outweigh any benefits? I'm curious what your threshold is for acceptable vs. unacceptable changes.
You also don't want others to negotiate with terrorists, but you'll negotiate if it's your own loved ones or property on the line.

This guy wants his wallet back and is willing to give half of his winnings away to get it. His other option is he gets nothing and still doesn't have his wallet.
The 28th regime will provide interesting insights on whether or not EU members are willing to move on fiscal harmonization.

I live in Martinique, a French outermost region and although we are in the Caribbean, we are also in the EU.
This creates some friction as the standard CE norm is usually not available in neighbouring countries, therefore :
1. goods mostly come from EU (specifically France)
2. because goods have to travel across the ocean, prices are higher
3. because prices are higher, specific tax laws are maintained and new ones are introduced with the aim to make prices lower
4. specific tax law introduces another barrier and limit competition
5. because competition is low, prices are high(er)

Harmonization vs the use of specific tax law/rules is a never ending discussion in Martinique.

In the US mad king context, I'm looking forward to it.
Oh that brings back memories - I remember IPX from a few of id Software's older titles but had no idea what it was at the time (I think the multiplayer for those games was dead by the time I played them).
It sucks that all the Civ competitors seemed to have failed so far. The genre really needs some innovation.
The reason why people see right libertarians as, well, right-wing is because the majority ends up aligning more with mainstream right-wing parties and candidates when it comes to voting.

FWIW left libertarianism is also a thing, but you won't find much of that in crypto.
We boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105 percent. Bit of a gamble, but we need the extra resolution.
It’s ok. China is going to be doing all the research from now on. The US empire has fallen, like the British or Roman empires before it.
Its just an impossible problem.

Apps like to make very custom interfaces. All of CSS is great.

Platforms like consistency, so they maintain their own complex CSS.

Users like to customize everything, so CSS is powerful but will always break as its fighting the others.
Basically what someone else has said - get the game easily working on modern systems and fix various bugs and issues with the original.
> Another datapoint says that Linux originated in Europe.

Linus moved to the US and since 2010 is an american citizen, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds#Personal_life

Thank you for backing up my argument, I guess?
Nobody needs a computer in their pocket either.

> Rich enough to never work another day if they don't want to is plenty.

I'm that rich. I'd have to move to an impoverished country but I could do it.

> Producing multibillionares is not a good thing

What about producing people who create products so loved that the people give them billions of dollars?

The "nobody needs..." way of thinking is very Soviet.
Why SQLite Temp Files Use the Prefix "etilqs_"
The opinions on data and programming in general-wall.

Not bad ideas, just not the kind I like shoved down my throat.
This one really doesn't make sense if you actually want to MAGA, since advanced chips is a critical area for the US to maintain leadership. China is meanwhile pouring many $billions into catching up.

The Chinese can't believe their good luck. No need for them to do anything -- just let the US self-destruct.

oh things like languages, tech stack, more specifics around role, etc.
Sometimes I do something like:

"Small heads up: I plan to do [thing] at [time/day], unless I hear any objections before then.

[optional following paragraph(s), with link to the issue-tracking task, and/or inline rationale/detail]"

This is for things that probably don't need to be discussed, with people with whom you have a good working relationship, but for which a low-friction opportunity for correcting my mistaken assumption is good.

If you do it for something that you should've realized probably needs to be discussed, or that you should've realized probably needs an affirmative approval, then bypassing that was a mistake of yours, and damages trust.

If you do it when there's some kind of trust problem, then it's dripping with subtext. Like you might be looking to bypass them with weak paper trail, or maybe you're being passive-aggressive in the way you nominally keep them in the loop. Until you fix the trust problem, err on the side of avoiding new misunderstandings.
> What if I claim need your data in a particular form in order to “interoperate” with you?

Oh. Malicious compliance is an art form. Just look at GDPR.

Doesn't mean that interoperability is somehow hard.

> Are the flaws in this regulation not blindingly obvious to everyone in this community? Am I going mad here?

You'd go much less mad if you read the regulation in question which I doubt you have. As a rule, the madder a person is about some EU regulation, the less likely they are to have read it.

Or you could read "A comprehensive overview of the Data Act, including its objectives and how it works in practice." https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/factpages/data-act-...

Instead you rely on media headlines and misinterpretations.

(Note: I haven't read the act yet, but I've yet to see an act people are in arms about that doesn't actually answer most questions in the text of the act itself or in the accompanying documents)
There are games like Deep Rock Galactic that have really good support multiplayer for multiplayer mods; it tells you what you're getting into in the server browser, and IIRC even separates them into tiers (simple HUD mods you can use in any game without effecting anyone, big changes have to be run on a server that everyone agrees to).

But yeah, they're few and far between.
> your accounts are only as secure as your iCloud account, which I wouldn't count on, and you've undermined the purpose of 2FA entirely

This is extreme. Uploading your 2FA to an encrypted cloud like iCloud widens your circle of trust. But it also increases convenience and utility.

I personally take the best of both worlds. A synced 2FA for most accounts. And a locked one for my critical ones, e.g. 1PW. If I couldn't sync any accounts I wouldn't bother turning on 2FA for most because the downside is low and, ultimately, probably someone else's problem to clean up.
