[1] Sabine says "It’s a two-phase project, the first one, called the FCC-ee would collide electrons and specifically measure the properties of the Higgs boson." approximately 20 seconds into the video.

It's unfair to merely critique the headline. If you do not wish to watch the video, here is a transcript: https://www.youtube-transcript.io/videos/elvEcWc7U7c

"This is very important work." is just an opinion.

"The more precise you nail down these uncertainties, the more theorists can do to verify their work, allowing the experimentalists to know where to look for new stuff, if any." Sabine's point is that there are countless theories and parameters that can be changed to fit any measurement. New results will eliminate some, but it will not reduce the total number of possible theories, as others will be constructed to fit the results without having any reason to think one is more true than another.
Honestly the Wikipedia article reads like it was written by someone who doesn’t understand the topic.

Seniority based systems are ‘I got mine, f u’ or ‘politics in action’ depending on how you look at it.

More senior employees have usually figured out how to get leverage on the employer over time.

Non-seniority are usually ‘cheapest is best’, or ‘do what I say, or else’.

Both have pros and cons for everyone involved. There is always some system though, even if it’s emergent.

A good counterexample is the Arctic Weather Satellite project. It was defined as a new space process at ESA, so documentation required was reduced at the minimum, and risk acceptance was increased. Absolutely successful, on time, on budget, contractors happy, end users happy. But it is a small project and still difficult to replicate at large and to spread the mindset to other sections at ESA.

I was living Amiga daily during the OS 3.9 days, and have no reason to think it didn't come from the Commodore source. Back then I got the feeling it was called "3.9" because the various powers assumed it would be the last release of 3.x. I've never used Hyperion's 3.x, but that is official, too, if largely a backport of 4.x, which of course also came from official source. I would say Hyperion jumped into 3.x (against their contract?) in search of cash, as nostalgia for these old systems increased and ARM emulator boards (etc.) made it possible.

OS4 is still the future, but the cost of PPC motherboards greatly limits the market size.

I unsubscribed from every streaming service and switched to Jellyfin+Tailscale. Since then I've had a better experience in nearly every way. For example, Jellyfin has optional parental controls, and also allows the administrator to fine-tune the content ratings.

True. In this case, it's not difficult to imagine that someone who wants to sell "adulting classes" would get some PR help to drum up awareness for their product.

> "Lots of people get (very profitably) mired in debt" -> ban usury which would be unprofitable but net positive for society

You haven't thought this through. "Usury" is easy to get angry at, but to actually ban it, one would need to set limits on interest rates and fees, and lenders would need to start rejecting far greater numbers of poor/risky borrowers to stay compliant.

It's sort of like putting limits on insurance rates. It sounds like a great pro-consumer move.

IMO the proposed solution of StrictYAML + schema is the right one here and what we use extensively for human readable configs. StrictYAML (linked to in the post) is essentially a string-type-only restriction of YAML, so you impose your type coercion on the parsed data structure.

Sure, but at the same time, the number of people with expertise to set up Anubis (not that it's particularly hard, but I mean: even be aware that it exists) is surely even lower than of people with Wordpress administration experience, so I'm still surprised.

If I were to guess, the reasons for not touching Wordpress were unrelated, like: not wanting to touch a brittle instance, or organization permissions, or maybe the admins just assumed that WP is configured well already.

I built SlashType to solve the repetitive typing problem we all face, especially with AI tools. It's a Chrome extension that lets you insert predefined text snippets—including your entire AI prompt library—anywhere on the web using simple slash commands.

SlashType works like this:

Create snippets with associated tags (e.g., "/gpt-coding")
Browse the web normally
Type your tag in any text field (including Claude, ChatGPT interfaces), and your text appears instantly

Technical points:

No backend requirements (works completely client-side)
No registration or account needed
Compatible with ~90% of standard web text fields
Lightweight extension with minimal permissions
Organized with an intuitive color-coding system for prompt categories

Use cases I've found valuable:

Maintaining a categorized AI prompt library for different use cases
Quickly accessing my best Claude & ChatGPT prompts without retyping
Standardizing customer support responses
Inserting code snippets
Managing recurring instructions

Looking for feedback on UX and feature requests for future versions.

The world changes so parental advice may need some adaptation, but the general idea is that they show their child when they make decisions. This may have been more about what job they took for what pension it came with and what car they bought for which labor price and now it is which car to never buy.

This kind of thread bothers me with it's hand wringing. Parents and teachers often spoke of their lives in casual conversation when I was growing up and it was pretty clear to me that, aside from it being a response to having no adult around to make a more useful conversation with for them, there was an element of educational intent.

"They are shrinking from responsibilities such as marriage, homeowning and child-rearing because “adulting is hard”, as one of his students put it. Western culture, Mr Hayward wrote, indulges childish fancies."

Yes, it is surely that young people are just wusses and not that they're also much poorer than previous generations, which forces them to postpone things like marriage, child-rearing, and purchasing a home.
The obsession is with information-dense quick-to-use low-latency interfaces that are nearly impossible to replicate with most modern tools [1]

Whether libraries like this one manage to replicate the experience is a whole other question.

We had enough tests to know that no other rule configuration worked. Heck, we had mathematical proof (and a small pile of other documentation too obsolete or cryptic to be of use), and still, the only thing that saved the project was noticing different stylistic conventions in different parts of the source, allowing the minor monolith to be broken down into "this is the core logic" and "these are the parts of a separate feature that had to be weaved into the core logic to avoid a circular dependency somewhere else", and finally letting us see enough of the design to make some sense out of the cryptic documentation. (Turns out the XML held metadata auxiliary to the core logic, but vital to the higher-level interactive system, the proprietary binary encoding was largely a compression scheme to avoid slowing down the core logic, and the system was actually 8-bit-clean from the start – but used its own character encoding instead of UTF-8, because it used to talk to systems that weren't.)

Test-driven development doesn't actually work. No paradigm does. Fundamentally, it all boils down to communication: and generative AI systems essentially strip away all the "non-verbal" communication channels, replacing them with the subtext equivalent of line noise. I have yet to work with anyone good enough at communicating that I can do without the side-channels.

Would €1,200/month "for life" inspire you to behave any differently? I suspect relatively few Germans aspire, long-term, to the lifestyle which that income would support. And then there are long-term considerations - like inflation. And gov't spending programs going away after either an election, or a financial crisis.
pydry commented that The Economist is "is Rothschild owned", which is partially true but quite misleading. The Rothschilds are minority owners, but other investors have much more control over the company than they do.

avshalom seems to have interpreted that as anti-Semitic. For what it's worth, I also interpreted the comment that way at first, but I think that it's best to assume good intent here, so in that spirit I would say that pydry probably just meant it to represent rich people rather than Jews.

I'm not sure what kind of take this is. If you've lost a child, you don't need a button on your Netflix screen to remind you of the tragedy you've been through. No bereaved parent is going through life ignoring their child's passing only for a Netflix button to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Enough of this pro AI therapist bullshit.

Empathic responses can be taught, that is true, however, for a human being to really experience empathy, as in the therapeutic healing, one must experience a whole lot more than the regurgitation of taught words.

As in all Therapy, being real, or authentic is at play here. A human being can easily distinguish between fake empathy and empathy that is authentic and genuine.

The best way to understand empathy is to watch a mother with her new born child in her arms while she is talking to her baby. Now study and imagine all the unspoken empathic responses between mother to baby and baby to mother.

Then think of AI as a substitute mother.

AI will never ever be able to reproduce the depth of empathy required for therapeutic change.

A simple undergraduate understanding of empathy:

Therapist notices that the client is clenching their fists and their stomach is moving up and down in a roling fashion while talking about an abusive family member.

Therapist responds: I noticed that when you are speaking about the family member you seem to get really angry and your stomach seems to roll.

Client; looks down at their stomach moving and their clenched fists. yes, I do feel angry all the time.

will AI ever be able to understand the link between the clench fists and the client being unaware of, and unable to express, their anger.

NO!
> How exactly do you imagine a government contract working if it's not reviewed before being granted?

This. ESA's grant approval process is, to its credit, usually considerably more focused on technical excellence than handwavy projections and box ticking common in other government grant applications and tenders, and whilst PSS forms may be a PITA, you'd think a company destined to solve the hard physics and unit economics problems of building a viable commercial launch service could figure out how to fill them in when given a EUR160m incentive to do so.

The European Launcher Challenge is based off the NASA COTS programme that originally funded the Falcon 9 (just with less money, because Europe, which is a bigger problem than straw bureaucrats) Don't know why people seem to think SpaceX got that money through NASA's magical genius American foresight anticipating Starlink, as opposed them being impressed with how SpaceX complied with their requests for very detailed milestone based plans (which two companies that failed to make progress also managed...)

Alone the fact of audit gives you a lot of reasons to keep data. Even if it gets downsampled one way or the other.

And plenty of use cases have natural growth. I do not throw away my pictures for example.

We have such a huge advantage with digital, we need to stop thinking its wasteful. Everything we do digital (pictures, finance data, etc.) is so much more energy and space efficient than what we had 20 years ago, we should just not delete data because we feel its wasteful.

We all know how easy it would be to add an option to hide a profile, set one as default or add a «Yes, I do actually agree to watch R-rated stuff and stop asking me about it!».

Feature creep and scope creep are real, but if you want to add a feature for a kids profile then put «disable kids profile» as part of the scope for that task.

As someone with kids I find it really useful to have kids profiles. Netflix one is particularly good, I can configure a general age group and block individual shows.

Our national TV app comes in two flavours, a general app and a specific one for kids. Makes it easier to deploy features for kids without adding any nagging popups for adults.

> What if the cars were made really light?

That is the best answer.

For a little while in the 80s (remnants of the fuel crisis of the 70s) this was the trend. Go light and then efficiency is guaranteed. Combine with a small efficient engine and that's the optimal solution. A CRX HF from 1988 could do 44 MPG, with an engine that compared to current fuel injection technology is very crude and inefficient.

I want to buy a car that is basically this CRX HF but with 25+ years of engine and materials improvements. It could easily be a 1500lb car getting 60MPG.

But, no. Manufacturers (to some extent forced by terrible government rules) have gone heavier and heavier and heavier and heavier. Which is worse in every possible way.

Colin Chapman had it right: simplify, then add lightness.

Show HN: A static file server in 1.5MB – no Node, no Python, no install
I built websitino, a small static file server intended for quick local development or testing. It’s a single binary (~1.5MB), with no external dependencies or runtime requirements — just run it in any folder and it starts serving files over HTTP.

It’s written in D and designed to be fast, minimal, and secure by default. Hidden files and directories (like .git) aren’t served unless explicitly enabled. You can customize behavior through simple command-line flags — e.g., enable directory listing or auto-serve index.html.

Example:

websitino --list-dirs --index

I created it because I was tired of using Python's http.server or Node-based tools for simple use cases where I just want to serve a directory locally with minimal fuss and overhead.
