The main ones that I'm still waiting to see integrated into mainstream Linux twms are workspace scrolling (of course), dynamic layout rules and dynamic offset rules (important for ultrawide monitor users).

I'd also like to see container limit rules to enforce stacking after meeting a threshold (functions as a hard cap on tiles-per-workspace), and native support for Vimium-style shortcuts for every UI element on the screen (from jwno), but I could probably live without these.

I wouldn't call these particularly innovative features, in fact they are pretty low hanging fruit.
> That's fair, but to me what drags C and C++ really down for me is the difficulty in building them. As I get older I just want to write the code and not mess with makefiles or CMake. I don't want starting a new project to be a "commitment" that requires me to sit down for two hours.

Also, integrating 3rd party code has always been one of the worst parts of writing a C or C++ program. This 3p library uses Autoconf/Automake, that one uses CMake, the other one just ships with a Visual Studio .sln file... I want to integrate them all into my own code base with one build system. That is going to be a few hours or days of sitting there and figuring out which .c and .h files need to be considered, where they are, what build flags and -Ddefines are needed, how the build configuration translates into the right build flags and so on.

On more modern languages, that whole drama is done with pip install or cargo install.

What deer have going for them is the ability to blend in to a herd so that when chasing a deer, if it gets in with the herd, you may end up chasing a freshly rested deer instead of the one that you’ve worn out which gets a chance to rest and regroup. Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run has some interesting chapters about this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0307279189/donhosek)

This looks interesting and I’ll probably give it a try.

I’ve been using Sway for the last five years and i3 for a few years previously. They work fairly well for me, I certainly didn’t have any of the problems the OP mentioned.

My all time favourite window manager, though, and one I wish would be revived (perhaps as a wayland WM now. How I wish I had the free time to take this on…) is GOOMWWM which I used for a decade prior to i3 (and Musca before that).

This is by design and a obvious implication from the inode structure. Bash, for example, relies on that for process substitution.

On the other side, systemd-tmpfiles used to recurse into '..' when unlinking, wiping your system. So i'm not surprised they didn't get the open() calls right.
Fructose is metabolized through the liver where it gets converted to glucose and other molecules. I assume it would put more stress in the body to metabolize a large amount of fructose, compared to glucose.

In my company, we rotate every 5 months. So every 6th month, I get put into the customer-facing team for 1 month. Every other month, a different team member is on the customer-facing team.

This is still annoying, but gives you enough time to work on features, and enough time to try and crack some customer cases (though I could even see being in the customer-facing team for more than 1 month, as sometimes, this is not enough to debug the issue and provide a fix).

I've got to admit, as much as I dislike being on the customer team, it's certainly less annoying than working on features, and have constant customer issues interruptions though.

Yeah and you can do a simulation using a rough approximation and then it is interesting to see in what ways it matches real brains and in what it does not.

It's funny you mention this.

Mozilla was one of the first to accept crypto donations. Then some 3 years ago an ex-Mozilla employee posted a rant on Twitter on how this effectively makes Mozilla super evil. It went somewhat viral and Mozilla stopped accepting crypto.

To me this is a great example on how useless virtue-signaling is.

Nothing was improved. The crypto world happily moves on and you won't be getting part of that money. What a great win. But I guess it's fine to receive fiat money of which you don't have a clue either about its source.

I Built an AI-Powered Decision Simulator–Would This Help You?
Ever struggled with decision-making? I built an AI tool that lets you test different choices and see their outcomes before acting. Instead of regretting decisions, you can explore "what if" scenarios in a risk-free way.

Would love feedback from fellow founders! How do you currently validate decisions?

Since we don't yet have anything remotely like AGI and at the same time, don't even really know how the brain works or what consciousness is aside from being aware that we feel it, you and nobody else really know if our path to consciousness is just one of many. For all we know it might be the only one. There could be some very big unknown unknowns in those waters.
I see no reason to think either the manufacturing process or the glucose-fructose balance is a problem.

It is just a cheap way to make a lot of sugar. That makes sugary foods cheap. Which helps make people diabetic and fat due to overconsumption.

Launching SolveCircle – A Gamified Task Management App for Businesses
Hey HN,

We’ve been working on SolveCircle, a gamified task management app designed to help businesses keep employees engaged and accountable without micromanagement. Instead of traditional task lists, we introduce challenges, rewards, and a structured system that makes completing tasks feel more engaging.

Why we built this:
We’ve seen how disengagement and quiet quitting affect businesses, especially in industries with high turnover. Most task management tools focus on tracking, but few focus on motivation. SolveCircle bridges that gap by making task completion more rewarding and transparent.

What we have so far:
A functional MVP built in Adalo
Core features like task assignment, progress tracking, and incentives
Interest from hospitality businesses for our initial rollout
What we’re looking for:
We’re onboarding early adopters and would love feedback from business owners, managers, or anyone who’s seen productivity struggles firsthand. If this sounds interesting, let’s chat!

Would love to hear your thoughts—do you think gamification is the right approach for workplace productivity? Any advice on refining our onboarding experience?
Wow I had no idea. Yeah then this is absolutely the worst possible name they could've picked.

Hopefully this isn't a "they knew what they were doing" situation

Average fit humans can run down horses and deer, and I would bet wolves too.

> Other animals, such as deer, bison and others, have bodies more suited to quick, short-distance running. The difference means that an average human being in running shape could catch a horse, deer or almost any other animal by pursuing it to exhaustion.

The docs say that the extension's server is configured here: https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/extensions/ui#remote-url

But yeah, I can't find docs nor source for the UI. And the extension docs refer to MotherDuck's own UI: https://motherduck.com/docs/getting-started/motherduck-quick...

So, a bit confusing way this is set up.
DuckDB is mind blowingly awesome. It is like SQLite, lightweight, embeddable, serverless, in-memory database, but it's optimized to be columnar (analytics optimized). It can work with files that are in filesystem, S3 etc without copying (it just looks at the necessary regions in the file) by just doing `select * from 's3://....something.parquet'`. It support automatic compression and automatic indexing. It can read json lines, parquet, CSV, its own db format, sqlite db, excel, Google Sheets... It has a very convenient SQL dialect with many QoL improvements and extensions (and is PostgreSQL compatible). Best of all: it's incredibly fast. Sometimes it's so fast that I find myself puzzled "how can it possibly analyze 10M rows in 0.1 seconds?" and I find it difficult to replicate the performance in pure Rust. It is an extremely useful tool. In the last year, it has become one of my use-everyday tools because the scope of problems you can just throw DuckDB at is gigantic. If you have a whole bunch of structured data that you want to learn something about, chances are DuckDB is the ideal tool.

PS: Not associated with DuckDB team at all, I just love DuckDB so much that I shill for them when I see them in HN.
I think there are different ways of defining bad. In Tokyo in 1990, the ratio of median house price to median income was 15. In Shanghai when the bubble popped, that figure was above 40, and even today it is at 36.

To put this in perspective, San Fransisco, a city considered to have a housing crisis, has a ratio of 9.
I meant modern -- you can use FTP over stuff like ZeroTier or Tailscale but otherwise you can't do P2P with it (firewalls, V4 NAT) and it's not secure. TS has some facility for transfer but again-- TS-specific, not available everywhere, not standard, and not suitable for all cases.

I also meant things regular people can easily use and that can be used as conveniently as e.g. Apple's AirDrop (which is nice but only works between Apple stuff).

It's part a UI/UX problem and part a missing standards problem. The latter precedes the former.
Many people want to donate to Firefox exclusively but you can forget about that. Mozilla will not carve out Firefox because it's the only reason that the mother org gets half a billion of free money from Google.

Off topic of strictly Pila, but coleashman is following and might have some interesting insight: What would a "modern" house electrical system look like?

I'm in a '70s house, but even new builds I get the sense unless you're putting in a powerwall at build time, they aren't very interesting; just a meter and a load center and feeds. And maybe that's the way to do it, not do anything fancy until you put in a Powerwall or whatever, because then you aren't dealing with anything that isn't specifically set up for the devices you're installing.

I keep thinking about putting in a sub panel with a generator transfer switch, and pulling some of my critical loads to it (fridge, furnace, hot water), just so I'd have the option of easily running something off even an inverter running off lead acid. And I have some thoughts of gradually bringing in some of those rack-mount batteries to do backup power and some time shifting, maybe some solar. Though the Pila seems like an interesting device, but also has the downside of: I don't have space by my fridge to put the device, unless I put it in the crawl space underneath.

You keep mentioning MIDs, and you worked on Span, so you probably have some interesting ideas in this space.

I've also never been able to get these P2P web file transfer tools (FilePizza, ShareDrop) to work without issues. Transfers inevitably fail partway through, especially for large files. This seems to happen even in ideal network conditions such as over a LAN.

I think aluminum is mostly more expensive than steel because energy is expensive, but solar energy makes energy cheap.

If a ship's mass were mostly ship rather than mostly cargo, making it out of a heavier material would increase its water displacement, which would increase its drag. I don't know if that's a proportional effect; I think it's actually sublinear. But, since most of the mass is cargo, it won't make much of a difference.

If most of the mass weren't cargo, you could ship things more cheaply by sealing the cargo in giant plastic bags and towing it across the ocean behind a tugboat.
Somehow I don't think Wasm-GC is going to support bare metal syscalls anytime soon. That stuff all has to be rewritten anyway if you want to target WASM.
I really wonder how tough that is going to be to migrate to.

I have API use that falls into a few categories, that aren' just LSP-ish type cases:

- Transforms, which presumably there has to be some solution for, even if it's porting to Go.

- Linters, which integrate with typescript-eslint and need the type-checker.

- Codemods, which create and modify AST nodes and re-emit them.

- Static analyzers, which build us app-specific models of the code and rely on AST traversal and the type-checker.

- Analyzer libraries that offer tools to other libraries and apps that expose the TypeScript AST and functions that operate on AST nodes.

Traversing the AST over IPC is going to be too chatty, so I presume there will have to be some sort of way to get a whole SourceFile in one call, but then I wonder about traversal. You'll need a visitor library on your side of the IPC at least, but that's simple. But then you also need all the predicates. You don't want to be calling ts.isTemplateExpression() on every node via IPC.

And I do all this stuff in web workers too, so whatever this IPC is has to work there.

Theft – property-based testing framework for C language
Show HN: I wrote a browser AI assistant without requiring login
Hi hackers. I wrote an AI browser extension for chat with page.

I know there are many existing tools like this. But every existed tools require me login before using it and I must use their AI models (which is the way they make money).

So I write my own tools for it. The key features are:

- No need to login, just use it

- Use your own AI API key

- Use your own custom prompt

- Chat run entirely within the browser, without passing through any third-party servers
A follow up idea: Don’t forget we modelers are still in a phase that might be characterized as “shifting mindsets”. The capability to model is getting steadily better, but I don’t think the practice of modeling is anywhere close to maturity nor broad diffusion.

I was hopeful ~5-10 years ago with the rise of data science, but I don’t know how much this growth corresponded with decision makers using the models both broadly and in intellectually honest ways.

There are areas where the results seem clear; e.g. advertising and product-specific decision points, such as recommendation engines.

Beyond these short-term ML applications, there are other domains where modeling is essential: weather forecasting, politics, markets, economics. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here is a metric I’m interested in: what percentage of decisions are informed by quantitative models?

Aside: Before you complain that e.g. “some decisions aren’t impactful enough to warrant a model-backed approach”, let me say that I sort of agree, but… There are indeed lightweight quantitative models (or at least processes) that can track / predict when using a heavier model is worth it!

I don’t have systematic data on this; it is just a hunch, inspired by what I have heard and seen.

Why? Effective modeling provides differential advantages.

-intra-organizational diffusion: technically savvy people will rise into management.

- inter-organizational dispersion: techniques used by winners will spread across organizations and industries.

Where are you using/advocating crabwalk?

It does look interesting, but for the local ETL use case, I am missing the pitch on just having my own collection of SQL scripts. Presumably the all-local case needs less complexity. Unless the idea is that this will eventually support more connectors/backends and work as a full dbt replacement?
My concern about checking my own circle is that it is an inherently biased approach. I'll add that I'm not the biggest Trump fan. In fact, according to the political compass tool (take with a grain of salt, I guess) I'm quite liberal. If I go to a liberal circle, of course they're going to confirm this rhetoric that Trump is going to take the US in a dictatorship.

Al Green was being disruptive and frankly let his emotions get the best of him. There were even democrats who voted in favor of his censure.

Your point about removing bureaucracy and installing loyalists is solid. Though, to say it is exactly how a dictator becomes a dictator is of course an oversimplification. There's more to it than just that.

Also, keep in mind that this is happening within a democratic framework. Removing bureaucracy and installing loyalists can be done in pursuit of objectives other than obtaining dictatorial power:

- Margaret Thatcher in the UK reduced government size through privatizations and appointed conservative loyalists to implement her policies, operating within democracy and stepping down after her term.

- Nelson Mandela in South Africa transformed the bureaucracy from apartheid to a democratic system, installing officials loyal to the new democratic vision, and served two terms before stepping down.

- Ronald Reagan in the US cut regulations and appointed conservative officials to support his economic policies, also within democratic bounds.

In all of these, removing bureaucracy and installing loyalists was framed as efforts to enhance efficiency or fight corruption, not to consolidate absolute power.

Now, Trump is no Nelson Mandela. On the flip side, he is no Adolf Hitler.

There is a lot of alarmist rhetoric going around (such as "Trump will take the US in a dictatorship") that I think will prevent people from seeing what is actually happening (be it good or bad).

That is my attempt at being rational while being bombarded with propaganda from both left and right.
By "efficiency" do you mean energy consumption or hydrogen consumption?
Natural gas, aka methane, has a big impact on climate change. Don't listen what the gas industry is trying to get everyone to believe, natural gas is as natural as petroil.
