  1. Sure.. I just was addressing the goal makes sense that drivers are not impaired. Of course nobody is perfect.
  2. Some winners in the 2035 HN predictions:

        Show HN: A Python 4.2 framework that transpiles to Go but still lets you use circular imports(github.com)
    
        Microsoft 365 Audit: Now requiring a literal DNA sample for volume licensing compliance(theregister.com)
    
        Zulip 15.0 adds 'Boomer Mode' to hide markdown from non-technical users(zulip.org)
    
    
    eh?

        Ask HN: Best audiologist for tuning hearing aids to filter out 'Notification Blindness'?
  3. Congrats! I could see the value of this, for sure. I handle this problem by spinning up a preview environment in a namespace. Each branch gets its own and a script takes care of setting up namespaces for a couple of shared resources for staging (rabbit and temporal).

    It was a lot of work setting that up though. Preview environments based on a helm deploy makes sense. I wish this had been available before I did all that.

  4. That's probably not the thing to tell a parent whose kid just made a dent and a black smudge on a MachE. I don't want to over index on the "think of the kids" argument, but we don't take driving seriously enough. Wikipedia says:

        Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of preventable death for people aged 5–22, and the second most common cause for ages 23–67.
    
    The linked article is astounding. The attitude in this thread is astounding, too. Because driving is ubiquitous and necessary in most of the US, we've become too accepting of the problems. Yes, if you're hitting the vape pen every day you should absolutely not be driving. Jetlagged? Take an Uber. Stroke risk? Give us the keys.
  5. And it just happened to me again. I got a new phone and my personal payment account went into some verification status and I can't use my wallet. Even though Google itself moved the card. And I was able to add the card and use the wallet with my gmail account. Wtf.
  6. Well, it would be good for the rest of us on the road if people driving two tons of murder box are 0% impaired.

    I'm no angel but I have gotten more diligent... I'm just reacting to "the degree". The goal has to be zero degrees of impairment when a moment of inattention can kill.

    Also, my son was just hit by a driver while he was on a bike and in the bike lane. They claimed not to see him. He's fine thankfully but it's really scary to watch him ride off.

  7. Oh no, this is just a Google thing. I've done the same verification bs for four different companies now, multiple times for each of them. I just keep an image of my license on my computer so I can upload it on demand. Google's payment verification is byzantine.

    It'll trigger when you sign up.

    It'll trigger if you create an Android developer account.

    It'll trigger if you get a new phone.

    It'll trigger if your card expires.

    It'll trigger the month before your card expires. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

  8. Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation.. It's goals are AI "for the long-term benefit of humanity," which seems like it would benefit humans a lot more if it were openly available.

  9. For real. I've been hearing the interface is slow and requires Javascript for years and never really paid much mind, it worked for me. But lately the page loading has gotten abusively slow. I don't think it can be simply blamed on React because that move was made long before this started.

    I've taken to loading projects in github.dev for navigating repos so I pay the js tax just once and it's fine for code reading. But navigating PRs and actions is terrible.

  10. Well, tech has progressed in the couple of years since I looked at things. The best thing to do is to get a good audiologist who can recommend devices that work best for the kind of loss.
  11. My son is 14 and has a moderate to severe loss. During his younger years we had a big clunky behind the ear type of aid and it was fine for a while. But tech progressed and we started noticing that he was having trouble hearing "s" sounds. I researched and got him the Oticon Real and it's been amazing and his speech dramatically improved with the new tech. There have been a lot fewer problems with wind noise and he can talk and pay attention in loud environments like school or a restaurant. His grades shot up.

    The newer tech is definitely worth it but spendy. There are times though when I'm a bit jealous, too! He can turn them off when he doesn't want to hear and can listen to anything on his phone over bluetooth, as well as take calls. And he never wakes up at night because of noise :)

  12. Maybe `heritable`?
  13. Hi! I like Zulip a lot and the tech team took to it easily. The main concern is silly but I think my folks will be thrown by a few UX elements. For example, uploading a file drops a bunch of markdown in the message editor.. which to them looks like an error or something weird and technical. I wish for a editing mode that showed preview instead.

    I don't think it's a blocker and we can help people understand it. Its just really about how much time I want to spend with them on the phone :)

  14. I'm plenty familiar with Open Source and do contribute as well. But I would also be paying for Zulip if we were to move the company to it.

    I think you missed my meaning.. Mattermost is open core and recently removed things from their community version. Also, it's really not cheaper given the features I need, so my concern is that I'm just jumping providers to another company that'll eventually pull the same rug. I like and want to contribute to Zulip to avoid that problem but am not sure if the product experience will work for my particular non-technical users.

  15. We just evaluated zulip as well and the mobile app was extremely bare bones. Also, I liked the UX of the web but others felt it was way too technical to give to our staff (some of whom will really struggle with any kind of change).

    I haven’t really decided yet though. Has anybody had a success with Zulip with nontechnical? I’m looking at mattermost now but it just seems to be a different point on the enshittification arc.

  16. I’ve never had a problem with a system76 or tuxedo computers laptop using suspend correctly. If you want it to just work, you may need to buy from a manufacturer who you pay to make it just work. Otherwise you’re comparing a dyi setup to Apple.
  17. Funny, I had the exact same frustration, also with nulls and a left join. I did end up ripping it out and doing it over again with Timescale (ugh okay Tiger Data). The ability to use Postgres normal things plus timeseries columar storage is really cool. I don't have big data though, just big enough where some tables got slow enough to worry about such things and not big enough to stomach basic sql not working.
  18. Shhh don't remind them
  19. Same. Also, my Spotify auto generated playlists hadn't changed for several years. I finally got fed up and googled around only to find it was a known issue. Clearly somebody realized they could just turn off those expensive GPUs...
  20. In mise.toml I have:

    ``` [tools] python = "3.12.11" ruff = "latest" ```

    I get ruff installed and anything else needed without any fuss.
