I'd *HIGHLY* recommend this video to anyone here. It is exactly that fun silly computer science stuff where you also learn a shit ton. His channel is full of this stuff.

Don't ask why, ask why not

Is essentially the motto of his channel, and it is the best. Leads to lots of innovations and I think we all should encourage more of this kind of stuff.

It’s not only that IMO. Americans are uniquely targetable because of the way “legal” scams operate here with impunity and are not distinguishable from these illegal scams.

Medicare Advantage for example.
You've got exactly one chance for a first impression. If that impression looks sufficiently strange your application won't even be read but immediately discarded.

You do you, but remember that other people do, ehm, "them".
Django may be popular, but it isn't necessarily the best.

A lot is built-in, but there is less modularity compared to say flask.

The ORM is generally inferior to SQLAlchemy, and things like Generic FKs are Django-specific (middleware) that gives you a structural dependency on a framework-specific feature, as well as DB logic in the app layer. Also, (might have changed since I last used it), it's not patricularly pythonic.

async frameworks (awsgi) are the new hotness, and FastApi is gaining steady traction.
I'd agree that the video is much more captivating. It's really an incredible and innovative piece of hardware. I am curious, did you ever arrange a meetup with Magnus?
> most people joining Amazon don’t know about the oncall they are in for.

In general people joining Amazon should be aware that they're joining a company that is fiercely and proudly opposed to work-life balance.
> Is there a government that's not ultimately controlled by narrow private interests?

Without deep knowledge, I'd suggest Switzerland, simply because of the directness of its democracy

What could possibly go wrong? DOGE to rapidly rebuild Social Security codebase
Trump thinks that this will cause people to determine that only the US is where they should build but it doesn't work like that. You still need supply chains with other countries even if you want to domesticate production. Political unrest is also bad for business. My head of R&D being snatched up by the FBI or ICE because they said mean things about Elon Musk is bad for my company. Everything going on right now is just telling companies to sit on a pile of cash and wait it out.

You're right but there is something to be said about the responsibility of the system/government/society to prevent private overlords who can effectively stifle/chill speech because of their monopolistic power.

Democracy doesn't just mean you get to vote on some things.

So; you believe it’s ok to deport people for exercising a core tenant of the US constitution?

I don’t.
> a static files pipeline for Django with whitenoise, how is that not included by default?

It is. They have a file server in debug mode and recommend something like nginx for serving files in production (and provide a collectstatic command to make that easy).

People shouldn’t be using a WSGI server to serve static media. Whitenoise shouldn’t exist.
Dawkins has a nostalgic fondness for the Church of England, for its cosiness. Humanist congregations are supposed to provide the social aspects of church without the faith. Being a nihilistic edgelord is not compulsory. I don't know what your "atheist church" was, but it sounds like you're rebounding from some unfortunate existential crisis club to the opposite extreme (being meaningfully wrong?), neglecting the possibility of just being reasonable.
Is it just me or the post and the hn title don’t match? All I see is several paragraphs and a summary to the effect of “managers of managers should trust their decisions to terminate ICs” - no discussion on how to actually manage the ICs you can’t fire as a manager, which is the content the title (“Managing People You Can't Fire”) states
This is great. I have been thinking of building something similar to track how many cars are speeding on my street so I have data for discussing changes with the neighborhood and local government.

This is just an all around better concept than mine. Love all the extra data it can gather. Especially living near schools having the data of cyclists and pedestrians will make a much better data set around safety and methods to tamp down on speeding and cut through traffic.
One shouldn't base their experience on what they read on the internet either. The internet, and other people, is not your reality. If I lived my life based on the internet, I would never leave my house and have all kinds of security systems all over it (I have none now and see no need for them).

I have never been robbed, never broken into, never been shot at, never had my car stolen and don't know anyone who has.
Maybe not routine, but UK law allows police and border checks, and did so when we were in the EU. There are credible accusations of this power being over used and misused.

Trump and his staff are indeed bad (obviously), so it is safe to assume the worst, and possibly be pleasantly surprised if/when it's shown to be a legitimate arrest.
I have a personal “Windows install / configuration playbook” so I don’t fall into these types of pitfalls for the Nth time (including the very example you give).

Some fun ones: windows defaults to storing the hardware clock time as a time-zone local offset, so whenever it syncs time with network servers, it messes up your time in other OSes (in multi-boot setups). You have to set the RealTimeIsUniversal registry key to make Windows behave.

What made me figure this out? Another pair of issues: the XBox/gaming app/overlay would give nonspecific errors, or at best not let my party hear me, when I’d try to join my brother’s party when playing games. Eventually connected the dots: I would reboot into Windows after working in Linux, the time would be messed up, and the Windows gaming overlay’s party stuff would be broken, suggesting the local time is used in some way for the chat/voice protocol, but of course they don’t tell you that. I initially scoured pages, and pages of Google search results, leading to countless MS forums and Reddit posts, none of which pointed out the importance of the system time. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if Windows would more regularly sync the system time, or at least do so upon booting, but of course there isn’t a first-party way to do that, either — the best I could do without installing crap was go into the time settings and unset then set the option for syncing time automatically, coercing it into updating the time right then and there — at least, until I sorted out why the time was all messed up when rebooting after running Linux.

Now with the ads and forced online account creation, it’s only becoming more of a dumpster fire than it already was.

Completely agree. I'm personally inclined to be more toward the "good enough" end of the spectrum than the "perfect" end of the spectrum - but it's still a judgement call. Ultimately, one needs to turn out a product, make money, and fix it up where there are gaps or deficiencies. It is a feature; a good one. Anything else is just hubris and vanity.

My home internet is a fiber gigabit 3g/3g up/down. Tucked away under the staircase is where my fiber ONT terminates and it is my server room. I have half a dozen boxes running various things. 4 symmetric 2012 i7 mac minis running linux KVM, and hosting various critical services - pihole, home automation, Homekit Secure Video etc.

Then there a giant former gaming PC with 7 HDD bays running the entire storage backend for a whole load of GoPro/Osmo/Insta360 videos I capture. Rclone to Google Photos for back-up. I don't edit any videos. Just there to capture memories so I can at some point when AI tools get good enough just have it generate clips. Same box runs my plex server with HW transcoding.

Then there is the actual gaming PC, a mini-ITX running steam remote play. Has power, a network cable and a fake HDMI dongle that emulates a monitor to trick the GPU into thinking something is actually plugged in.

Basically everything I do with desktop PCs at home is via some sort of remote interface.

Remote gaming is probably the most demanding of all of these. Low-latency HW-accelerated solutions eg: Parsec / steam-link are incredible technologies.

I carry an AppleTV + PS5 controllers to friends' houses and play the latest games across the internet.
Trump cuts threaten lab critical for advanced chips and medical devices
It’s been two years since I googled anything.

They’re superior at finding shops on Maps.

But for common search, they’re mediocre and untrustworthy, hiding real results way down below irrelevant spam.

Who trusts an advertising company with search?
"Dependency injection (DI) frameworks work around the problem, but we don’t want to require such magic. Ensure all classes have a constructor or factory that doesn’t take any parameters"

Yeah, sure. Apart from the fact that most frameworks require constructor-based injection and make it very easy to use in tests.

"Write one or two end-to-end tests that make sure your code starts up and runs a common workflow. "

Getting the e2e tests to run is the hard part. Spinning up the external services is the slow part. Once you make everything work, you throw away all the invested time to run a single e2e test?
Modern frameworks, like Playwright, allow you to simply record (!) your mouse clicks and write tests from that. You can easily 'write' 200 e2e tests like this and you don't even need a dev to do it.

The article's structure is commendable, but its ideas feel like taken straight from the 2000s.
It was an overreaction during the first term, now it's apt. The destruction of America should be stopped immediately. But I fear we are at Thor: Ragnarok timeline now.
I view the current political situation as a historical rhyme of the bloody wars of religion in Europe that saw Catholics and Protestants murdering each by the millions. As with the C v P wars (or Sunni vs Shia in Islam, or Hindu vs Muslim in India), taking a side is the wrong ethical stance; the right stance is to view it clearly as a brutal tribal struggle, and take steps towards a just and honest peace.
I agree that anonymous speech is an important right in free societies. A novel attack on such a right in the Internet Age is to allow so much speech, anonymous or otherwise, ensure that most of it of is of very low quality, that thoughtful criticisms are ignored or, more accurately, overlooked. A related attack is to "flood the zone with shit", low-quality but emotionally resonant criticisms of speech, generated by hired humans and/or software. (Anecdotally most readers will see any coherent pushback as a signal about the OP's veracity.)
And it'll be pretty easy to keep track of how many crimes they _do_ discover, because the first one will be trumpeted loudly everywhere, and then after that they'll use the entire list of people as though it's a partial example: "How do we know that this individual is not associated with <crimes>, as we've already seen with _countless_ examples, like <the unspoken entirety of the list of examples>?"
i think the comparison to nazi germany only muddies the waters. america is not nazi germany, it did not just get thrashed in ww1 and blamed for everyone's problems. it does not have the option to massively industrialize. everything is different. that doesn't mean america cannot turn into a fascist state if it feels like doing so. it means that the nuances as to what are going on in america right now is not the same nuances as what happened in germany 100 years ago and those nuances are important to understanding what is happening.
Thinking about it, I guess you're right. While I'd like some way to say "never trust a DKIM signature claiming to be from me if it allows extension", the reality is that the only way for somebody to get their hands on such a message is if my MTA produced one in the first place.
The "Google is getting worse" trope is popular with a certain anti-mainstream segment but there's almost never examples of how something is wrong or bad or worse. This article has a few examples so I googled them myself:

- "release year modern love roadrunners" -> 1976 (not 1995 as claimed). This article was posted 5 hours ago. Why am I getting the correct results then? For the record, the search "roadrunner modern lovers" (as per the screenshot) also says 1976;

- "brian jonestown massacre anenome" -> lots of links including a video and lyrics (article claims was unknown or no details)

I really don't know why there's so much reality-bending to make this story true.

Show HN: I wrote a guide on how to file taxes as a F-1/J-1 visa student
Hello HN!

I'm an international student in the U.S. Tax filing for Nonresident Aliens on a F-1 or J-1 visa can be quite tricky, especially since there are almost no resources online that cover our situation. What information I could find are posts from tax software companies, and they are usually thinly-veiled marketing posts.

https://collegetaxguide.org/

This year, I decided to make a guide on how to file taxes as a F-1 student or J-1 scholar. I cover not just the basics, but also advanced topics such as:

* How to claim a tax treaty benefit. Most countries have tax treaties with the U.S. where visiting students and scholars can get an exemption on income tax.

* How to determine if you're a resident alien or nonresident. This is a big point, because as a resident alien, you are taxed on global income.

* How to properly declare investment income on a F-1 visa.

My guide is independent, noncommercial, and open source. There are no ads. It's entirely self-hosted and made by me.

Since this is HN, I will share some notes about the tech stack.

I am using Ghost as the content management system (CMS), since it's a best-in-class CMS that is also open source. The frontend is a custom theme that I forked from one of the included defaults:

https://github.com/collegetaxguide/collegetaxguide-theme

The biggest thing that I learned building this is that modern javascript development uses a lot of toolchains. I used to work in Bootstrap and hand-write javascript with jQuery, but those days are long gone.

I tried to optimize the website as much as I can, and I learned about HTML <picture> tags. Using a <picture> tag, you can serve different versions of an image, and let the browser load the best one. For instance, you can serve the background image of your landing point in AVIF, WEBP, and PNG formats, and if the browser supports it, they will only load AVIF.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/pi...

I know that a lot of the more experienced developers probably already knew that, but it was very cool for me.

Thank you for seeing my Show HN. I'll be around to answer any questions.

I’m lazy. I just extract the abstract from the tex source and put a link to the PDF. That is however quite different and not public in my case.

Turns out from a technical documentation consumer perspective it’s easier to save a PDF than feck around with web pages and try and save them.

> Your computer’s sound card probably has a built-in MIDI library (like general MIDI) that will include a piano as an instrument.

> Note that I’m using the word “soundcard” very loosely here: in many cases sound hardware is onboard nowadays.

Mainstream computers haven't included "soundcards" (integrated onboard or otherwise) with any kind of built-in hardware synthesis (wavetable or FM) for nearly 30 years. What you have for hardware is mostly just a dumb digital to analog converter with some mixing features and possibly some basic canned DSP/codec functions.

> The point is your computer will have sounds you need built in.

> Whereas your computer’s sound hardware is likely to have a piano as a wave table instrument

They're going to be on the hard drive as files and synthesis is entirely in software, from which you have numerous options, including what comes with the OS. MacOS and Windows come with basic MIDI soundfont synthesizers, and on Linux you typically end up using something like fluidsynth or timidity tied to JACK/ALSA.

Hardware wave table synthesis as a usual thing is long gone (AC'97 is nearly 30 years old).

I don't think there is a straightforward way to portably configure and sequence MIDI and loopback the OS builtin synths if for some reason you don't want the audio going out the default sound device (yes, it is possible, key here is straightforward to configure programatically). What is relatively straightforward is using fluidsynth with a suitable soundfont though. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish you run a soft-synth entirely in the browser.

> You can then export your track as a WAV file and chop it up into individual notes using Audacity.

There are tons of freely available SF2 soundfonts, some with wide instrument coverage, some dedicated to single instruments with multiple layers, some very high quality (just google soundfonts). Poorly redigitizing and recreating one from the OS builtin soft-synth sounds like a waste of time.

Ultimately though this attitude is just "you shouldn't advocate for anything because the fascists might be emboldened". It's victim-blaming, and cowardly centrism. "This is really your fault; if you hadn't demanded things then we wouldn't be in this situation".

I do generally happen to think that diversity, gender equality, freedom of speech, and public health are causes that are important. I don't feel like being told to shut up about it because someone else is a fascist is very productive.

>> it is better to change your government.

Not really possible in the US since 2023. Specific political speech, even writing op-eds, has been criminalized or black-list-worthy by both sides of the political spectrum -- democrat and and republican.
If wearing a BLM t-shirt is enough to convince people to vote for the other party more than inciting a violent insurrection to overturn an election with zero evidence of malfeasance, then the American electorate is dumber than even the most cynical observer might believe.
The Gemini models have become notorious for being rather uncensored and unrestricted, with an oddly base-model-like feel, since at least last November.
> I think it was not completely passive, but simple level conversion; DisplayPort is AC-coupled signal, HDMI is DC-coupled.

Wait, I don't think that's accurate. I've worked with HDMI/DVI and both are AC-coupled, that is, you put a 10 or 20 nF cap in series on the TMDS lines if you're driving directly from an FPGA's digital IO pins.
Because it has marginal to no benefit over existing c++ stacks, and more important would be economically detrimental because the majority of game developers doing engine coding are c++ developers.
No. Japanese is very context sensitive, and like any natural language, has ambiguities. Japanese is loaded with dajare (puns).

Grammar checking basically needs AI - you need to train some model to understand common phrases and sentence structure. Before LLMs there was software like MeCab[1] which done this, and gave good results, but modern LLMs are much more capable.

Yes and no.

...but has also made me more lazy in some ways. e.g. I paste errors I don't immediately recognise into an LLM. Pre LLM I would have looked at the error in more detail first, then tried a couple of things blindly, then googled it.

His "Sensible ECS" is basically what I did on my (simple 2D) game, just simple structs with components, and functions that operates on these components.
