Adding to the mass of one off experiences, last week I had to modify a plan with basic stuffs: colored rectangles, dashed lines and text, at various angles. Tried gimp for the 4th time in my life (most of my life I've been using cracked Paint Shop Pro or Paint.net). Could absolutely bot figure out anything about the UI, littérally nothing about the UI follow standards or is intuitive. Tried Pintea, I found almost everything I needed instantly, the only think I couldn't figure out was how to rotate text, except by rotating the whole layer, which worked.

Most of what you said is may be true but not the part about hentai ? France does block, without asking a judge, most of the big hentai websites with a problematic catalog, and you can't sell those IRL either !

They did not.

ai;dr

Germany didn't transition away from coal. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/all/yearly

I hate this administration as much as the next (european) guy, but what has this got to do with hackernews ?

ah, got 7421 too. I then it retry and got 7429.

Does anybody know if there is a way to remap the "gesture button" (thumb) to launch a .sh ? I've tried a dozen way without success, the only thing I can do is map the .sh to an actual gesture (button+scroll up) but I don't want to use gestures !

For a minute I had hope this would work on linux. I'm using Solaar and it kind of works but I haven't managed to make it per-application, also the UI and rule editor is the most cryptic thing ever.

Okay so not dissing on the website itself (btw reader mode isn't always available depending on context...) this reads like a total mess. I guess it's too messy to be AI generated so that's good, but it doesn't feel professional at all, is this a fanfic ?

The mercosur being great I'm not so sure... Yeah let's import a lot of agricultural products that can use banned chemicals why our farmers can't and so can't compete, just so that Geemany can export a few cars...

To be fair, it lack some functionality, like mapping a single modifier to a button

I'm so tired of reading ChatGPT output. It really distract from the topic.

Ah, I see, maybe you're right.

Look I'm far-left and pro palestinian but I do flag stories like that because there are places on the internet to discuss current world news/atrocities and hn isn't one of them ?

It's getting flagged has it should be, according to the hn guidelines that you should read:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I feel the same, it's unreadable, which is too bad because the work seems interesting.

Kind of disappointed lately by the number of political posts. It's not that I don't care about what's going in the US, it's just that I'm already bombarded with news about it, and I come here to get away from it and learn cool stuff...

The French ones I listened to where legit

This is the concept behind the computers in The Diamond Age right ? Or am I mistaken ?

It was like 80 when I typed "wrong" (mainly with 6-7 fingers), I learned to touch type like 4 years ago and switched to a 40% keyboard, now I'm typing at 60-65wpm max I guess, but it does feel better.

Ah! I spent an hour today trying to recreate the golf course from gladdendesign too (I ordered one of each of their games when I saw it on youtube)! But I got sidetracked trying to fit perlin noise into the solution, still not sure what algorithm to use to generate similar terrains. Also I kind of assumed copying the game exactly wouldn't be super fair or even legal so I planned on keeping it private.

Another tidbit: on high speed trains (maybe on regular trains too idk) the 'door flange' which is actually a hollow pneumatic tube (it can detect spike in pressure that's how the train know it's trying to close the door on somebody's hand) get's pressurized higher before entering the tunnel, to mitigate the "slam" effect due to the difference in pressure.

Basically it's zoning laws, to not add permanent structures onto agricultural lands, but yeah it's stupid because this is for solar panels without foundations so I don't see the harm. I need to get an appointment with them, see if I can change their minds.

I wish regulations where more lax in France. It was a battle with the town council to install 3.2kw of solar panels on the ground, I want to install 10 more but it looks like the ground option which is cheap will not be approved, I would have to out them on my roof which is costly and is not true south (and arguably, more visible).

I like that they're trying different approaches from spacex, them and stoke space which have a crazy concept. I hope both of them suceed.

If you don't mind a few small advices: don't use global variables that you mutate, prefer structs with methods. Add a main context with signal.NotifyContext to globally handle sigkill/sigterm and have a gracefull shutdown. Also use DialContext when available instead of Dial. You could use errGroup to handle multiple goroutines that return errors (rather than iterating on a channel).

Otherwise it looks good, great job !

Ah, the explanation is quite simple and I should've included it, sorry. I'm working in France, so I was at more or less 25k in embedded (not poor by french standard for my age, and had a lot of extra perks (like free train) compared to other companies, but not great either. I doubled when I started working for a french startup, and doubled again when I started working for an US-based startup.

Not sure I'm the best to give tips because I just had many great opportunities at work, moved from C/C++ embedded to Go embedded (same company) and then Go web backend at another. I wouldn't do anything different, because money is great, but tbh it's less interesting than C on an 8086 or embedded Go with audio/video, lua interpreter, GPS pathing and stuff like that.

Maybe in my head 'modern' is the wrong word, I just meant web backend on modern stack (yes, in go), or at least backend for recent startups with everything in the cloud etc. While I don't really agree with using a shiton of cloud services (especially coming from embedded without even dynamic allocations), it does make for interesting problems related to distributed messaging and things like that.
