I'm not seeing how the time of sunrise and sunset differ according to whether your calendar follows the sun or the moon. Ramadan wanders through the solar year, sometimes occurring in the summer, sometimes in the winter, because it is scheduled according to the lunar cycle. But the fact that Stockholm has a lot more daylight during summer than Mecca does is just a consequence of the layout of the Earth. They both have summer at the same time. The effects are what's different.
Thank you for pointing me to that. Still, strong disagree it applies here, so I'll counter with a quote from the second part of a three piece opus, in a photoplay long ago and far away:

Do or do not. There is no try.
Trying to be constructive here but also This is just a common gripe of mine regarding insanely short trial periods for important/key software. What exactly do you expect a user to accomplish in 14 days that would leave them wanting to start paying you? An accounting period is typically a month, minimally. I stumbled on your post and wasn’t seeking it out, so how I have to find time over next 2 weeks to see if I’m interested, etc. The first 14 days are just work for me, no value, just integrating data/configuring things/etc and I have not got any value out yet.

Anyway, I know I don’t have time and I know 14 days isn’t really even enough time to test drive it anyways. So, it is a trial period that really just pushes me away from signing up. Had I signed up and had unlimited time to do all my setup/config/integration works, which I’m in no hurry so may take a few months (of mostly inactivity), then I may close my books in tandem with my current system a couple times and you should reach out to bill me once I’ve closed 2-3 acccounting periods. That would give you a great opportunity to get feedback from me on what I like or dislike having gone through a couple month end reps and sell me on making this my core accounting product. But, since you turned me off initially with the 14 day free trial thing neither of us will ever know.

I love when the nukebro squad brings 10-15 year old data to the table like it has any bearing today. Is it because you know the 2025 prices and can’t bring yourself to accept them?

Because you would have to accept £47/MWh as the viable price for offshore wind in 2025?

I don’t know if this applies to freetype’s testing, but when I worked on software that operated on fonts in the past I quickly concluded that piracy was the only practical way to test it. You need a very large corpus of real fonts, which would be both very expensive and not redistributable. This meant that I did not open source my tests.

This is exceptionally useful advice, and precisely the way we should be talking about how to engage with LLMs when coding.

That said, I take issue with "Use Static Types".

I've actually had more success with Claude Code using Clojure than I have Typescript (the other thing I tried.)

Clojure emphasizes small, pure functions, to a high degree. Whereas (sometimes) fully understanding a strong type might involve reading several files. If I'm really good with my prompting to make sure that I have good example data for the entity types at each boundary point, it feels like it does a better job.

My intuition is that LLMs are fundamentally context-based, so they are naturally suited to an emphasis on functions over pure data, vs requiring understanding of a larger type/class hierarchy to perform well.

But it took me a while to figure out how to build these prompts and agent rules. A LLM programming in a dynamic language without a human supervising the high-level code structure and data model is a recipe for disaster.
I follow Mr. Huang, read/watch his content and also plan to use PocketFlow in some cases. A preamble, because I don't agree with this assessment. I think agents as nodes in a DAG workflow is _an_ implementation of an agentic system, but is not the systems I most often interact with (e.g. Cursor, Claude + MCP).

Agentic systems can be simply the LLM + prompting + tools[1]. LLMs are more than capable (especially chain-of thought models) to breakdown problems into steps, analyze necessary tools to use and then executing the steps in sequence. All of this is done with the model in the driver seat.

I think the system described in the post need a different name. It's a traditional workflow system with an agent operating on individual tasks. Its more rigid in that the workflow is setup ahead of time. Typical agentic systems are largely undefined or defined via prompting. For some use cases this rigidity is a feature.

Now that I'm thinking of it, I have a lot of small habits that were once large habits. I can get up and go for a run any given day, and I might do it every day for months if I have time, or I may not. Doing 10 pushups a day is no problem even on off-gym days. I wonder how much of it is related to the fact that these stimuli are not novel, and I know I can do them effectively and don't have to slog through something where I won't see results. I'd still love to build up a reading habit again.

Sure. There’s no objective value of a house, so they have to go off of recent sales of similar properties. If prices go up, appraisals go up. But I don’t see how the reverse would be true, as suggested above.

Show HN: Usque – Open-Source Cloudflare Warp Masque Client
I was surprised to discover there isn't an open-source initiative for a Cloudflare Warp client that fully supports their MASQUE protocol. MASQUE has the potential to revolutionize traditional VPNs, even in self-hosted environments, but there’s been a gap in the ecosystem.

I built a proof-of-concept client using the amazing quic-go library that not only integrates their (for some reason) non-rfc compliant MASQUE but also supports multiple modes of operation. This includes full support for any IP traffic and a proxy mode, making it hopefully flexible.

I'd love to hear feedback from the community, and I'm excited to see how this could evolve.

I'm not jesting at all. Compound interest is a social phenomenon rather than a natural one. While rentier capitalism is the dominant economic paradigm in most of the world at present, it's not exactly problem-free.

I think it's propagandistic to speak of the 'magic' on compound interest at all; it reminds of the 'magic' of Ponzi schemes. Consider that if you changed the perspective in the example game while keeping other conditions the same, it could just as easily be a lesson about the 'magic' of debt slavery, in which a kid borrows money to buy a bicycle but is then unable to ever pay off the loan - which might cause a lot of the young participants to question the value of a system that arguably entraps far more people than it empowers.

The massively unrealistic payouts and artificial conditions (like the bike vendor holding the price steady for the customer, instead of just selling the bike and sticking the $1000 in the bank to double every day) strikes me as a fairy story. It's not just because of the exaggerated interest rate (which only going to lead to disappoint immediately afterward) but because it implicitly posits two different sets of rules: one for the depositor who is enjoying both free money and cartoonishly accelerated benefits, and a different one for the shop owner who is somehow disconnected from this inflationary financial environment.

To be clear, I think teaching kids financial literacy early on is a good thing, but that this isn't a good way to instil the lesson.
>Under closer examination, two things immediately stood out. First, nowhere in the legal documents is Dissent Doe or their website listed as a defendant. Second, this order was obtained without notice to Dissent Doe and the target of the order was never given a change to argue their case, much less file anything to object to the proposed injunction.

That's very interesting. It seems like the legal firm is arguably misrepresenting this order ....

I just talk to an LLM like it’s a person who is smart, meaning I expect it to be confidently wrong now and then but I don’t have to worry about hurting its feelings. They are remarkably similar to people, though others seems to not think that so maybe it is a case of some people finding them easier to work with compared to others. I wonder what drives that. Maybe it’s the difference between a person who thinks life unfolds before then vs the person who views life as a bundle, with each day a fold making up your experience and through this stack you discern the structure which is your life, which sure seems how these things work.
The main way merchants push back on chargebacks is to not accept Amex. That brand of credit card attracts customers who chargeback more often.

Mandatory accounts that gatekeep on-going access also discourage chargebacks. If you will lose access to an important brand of taxi service or your $1000 digital content collection you will think twice before charging back even if you are a legitimate fraud victim.

All the Chinese EV companies that you can't stop praising literally just copied Tesla's innovations in the EV space bringing them to market in a market viable manner.

Looks like attitudes like yours are based on a political axe to grind than on reality.
Let me clarify: this tutorial focuses on the technical internal implementation of the agent (e.g., OpenAI agent, Pydantic AI, etc.), rather than the UI/UX of the agent-based products that end users interact with.

If you remember those times, KOF91 by Moah was one of the few open-source alternatives to MUGEN, albeit not compatible with its data.

During those times I helped porting it to Linux together with Ric Leite. I remember being easy as it was Allegro.

I archived the sources here (from Sourceforge):

https://github.com/dmacvicar/free-fighting-engine

You should be able to build it and run it on Linux (speed may be wrong).

I have tried a few times to revive the code, but it is a "everything is global" code-base.

I am currently testing an approach with Claude Code and Amazon Q, not very successful.
Damn, building the tooling for this myself was a bad idea.

This us cool, but please don't repeat the countries we already know too soon. It gets boring very soon when it asks you in a loop 4 countries you've traveled to and you know exactly where they are!

If you use a solar calendar, the difference would only be by location. Solar calendar users already experience that. It applies for day-to-day stuff, but I actually can't think of any events explicitly tied to sunrise/sunset in a Western/Christian calendar. So you really need that to experience the full extreme, which Ramadan has.

Jewish holidays have that too, with the new day starting at sunset. But the calendar is lunisolar, so it wobbles buts doesn't drift. Islamic calendar has maximum differences.
At least in the US, regardless of what the official rules might be (I've never checked) you only need a return address if you want the item to come back to you in the event that delivery fails. If you omit it and drop it in a public box with the correct postage it will reliably show up.

This makes sense because the only realistic way to enforce a non-falsified return address would be to verify government issued ID when accepting the parcel.

It's an interesting point thought that receiving messages does require a physical address. I guess the analogy would be needing to log in to browse the message board but not to post? That would be quite strange.

Write me a parser in R for nginx logs for kubernetes that loads a log file into a tibble.

Fucks sake not normal nginx logs. nginx-ingress.

Use tidyverse. Why are you using base R? No one does that any more.

Why the hell are you writing a regex? It doesn't handle square brackets and the format you're using is wrong. Use the function read_log instead.

No don't write a function called read_log. Use the one from readr you drunk ass piece of shit.

Ok now we're getting somewhere. Now label all the columns by the fields in original nginx format properly.

What the fuck? What have you done! Fuck you I'm going to just do it myself.

Ask HN: How does one break into a new industry?
Let's say someone has been involved in e.g. B2B software roles and projects for most of their professional life. But they have a strong interest in a seemingly unrelated fields - something hardware-related like robotics, automotive, manufacturing, etc.

How does one get involved in such an industry? This is the conundrum of one of my colleagues who is looking for an industry switch.

There don't seem to be relevant conferences or meetups in his area, and job applying is quite awkward. He'd be junior in a new industry and expected to take literally 1/3 the wage. Of course he does his fair share of self-study, but no formal schooling for any of these different fields.

I'm not sure what to recommend, what are some things would you do? Go back to school? Take a (much) lower paying job and go from senior to junior (or even intern)? Also, that option may not be feasible given existing financial obligations. One idea I had was maybe for him to try applying to work at startups, who might view one more "holistically" in terms of overall capabilities.

I tend to care about policies that don't impact me personally when they harm other people. I'm a natural born citizen, I'm not going to get deported with out process, but I still care about that. I'm not in grade school, so I'm not going to be a victim of a school shooting, but I still care about that. If it is a policy that doesn't impact me personally, but benefits someone else, yeah I tend to not give a shit. Why would I be against a position that has no impact on me whatsoever when it only meant to help someone else as in the case with civil rights?
Please don't stoop to the level of lawlessness. Rule of law is already dangerously hanging on by a thread, taking a chainsaw to that thread isn't helping reign in the current administration whatsoever, it's only provoking them to make things worse.

There's a right way to resist in this country. Nonviolent protest (including the O.G. denial of service attack - the "sit in"), boycotts (your own money), and loud, powerful, and assertive speech demanding change are unequivocally good, and we need more of all of these.

Deliberately trying to hurt and scare people - people who may not have even voted for the current administration and aren't offering any kind of ongoing financial support to Musk - isn't.

There was a pokemon spot in the second closest park to my house. It was across from a T intersection and a hill that you couldn't mistake for a 4-way. I'd say that's relatively safe.
