Sure, but so is running on AWS, Azure or GCP. Your on-prem bill tends to not run amok though. You don't wake up one day and get a bill for $100.000 for something that was accidentally deploy Friday afternoon.

People are starting to learn that cloud hosting isn't exactly cheap. It's great for quickly scaling, there's way better automation tools, e.g. Terraform, a lot of the complicated stuff is done for you, but it's not cheap.

37signals is running their own infrastructure, and it's cheaper than cloud.

There exists a slider at the bottom of most videos you can click and drag to your prefered location /s

A video of the presentation is pretty much always better than just the slides. Even if you got the slides you'd have to click through them to find the one you were looking for. Your argument could just as easily be phrased:

"What do you expect people to do with that? Click through and read every slide?"

And it would make about as much sense as the original argument (none).

There was an industry shift from stateful monolithic services to slim event-driven microservices in ephemeral environments.

We didn't lose PHP, it's just no longer in the spotlight.

In fact I applied to a Laravel role very recently but they didn't like that most of my recent experience were with Go and Rust and not PHP.

If you want a PHP comeback, hire that Rust engineer that wants to use Laravel!

I'm not playing a victim card, you just didn't make an argument. What am I supposed to say about your feelings about my post? You want to make an argument? Fine. You want to just call my post silly? Well you've done that, I don't think I need to add anything more.

I stated my reasoning, the sensor stack in insufficient. The evidence is they've been trying at it for close to a decade now, and have had to continually move the goal posts, missing their self-proclaimed milestones, delaying their shipping dates by years, reneging on their promises and projections, and leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake (and that's not hyperbole); whereas Waymo went with a better sensor stack (the one roboticists have been saying was the way to go), and is actually shipping a true full self-driving service, one that won't run off the road if you fall asleep.

So we already know what does work (orthogonal sensors like LIDAR+RADAR+Camera) and what doesn't work (Camera only). We learned this in 2007 at the DARPA Urban Challenge, and it's been affirmed by Tesla's continued track record of failure in 2025.

And when you factor in FPGAs, you can get down to the microsecond or less. Low latency is possible, it is just that priorities are often elsewhere.

We like being able to plug everything anywhere. And I admit it is damn cool being able to connect a display, most kinds of storage devices, keyboard and mouse, all while charging my laptop on a single port, at any time. I may even be able to disconnect my laptop and put my phone instead and it will do something sensible. If you did that back in the day, there was a good chance for one of the devices to turn into a smoke machine.

It comes at a cost though.
Ask HN: How are parents who program teaching their kids today?
by laze00 | 2025-06-01 16:27:54+00:00
Father of two here. I started coding in BASIC when I was 8 and fell in love with computers. It evolved into a passion for building products, and it has been my life's career.

My son is showing interest in programming, mostly because, like other kids, he wants to make games. That's what got me started, too :) We've been working with Scratch and GameMaker, and I’ve been focusing on fundamentals like logic, structure, and problem-solving.

It's really about getting him experience breaking problems down so he can solve bigger problems. E.g., before the hero can shoot an arrow to defeat the bad guy, we need to be able to create arrows, move them, know their position, and know when they hit the bad guy. He gets it.

That said, I wonder whether focusing on CS fundamentals is worth it. Knowing fundamentals is always useful, but learning to collaborate with an AI is probably the more important long-term skill.

What are other parents doing? Have you found a balance? What tools are you using?

If you're really objecting to new information systems being created from an existing historical/cultural corpus' as a means of making cultural treasures more accessible to a literate audience, are you really a hacker?

The fact of the use of Maori to organize Maori literature, is of immense interest, whether it suits a foreign, supposed culture more, or otherwise.

This is a new method of organizing an important corpus of cultural knowledge, granting new insight to an intended audience.

Why not applaud its utility, rather than immediately disregard the results to be attained?

Or have you, indeed, found it wanting as a means of searching for specific details in the Maori collection?

>gaslighting

I think the standard issue, if you feel like this, is to check oneself, before one wrecks oneself. Here, let me show you the gaslight: "has no historical basis", "just Maori-themed", "forms of record keeping", "no meaningful information classification system", "I feel.."

No, it cannot load a separate bootloader. I tried to tamper with the loadercode (the "secure" bootloader), but it wouldn't boot. So I am guessing there is some third party (boot ROM) that verifies it.

Also, I think Linux always loads loadercode + mp1.img, regardless of the tamper state. The different code paths depending on tamper state are taken within the (integrity protected) loadercode.

> they fails to accept that a condo consume more natural resources to be built than single-family homes and sheds one per apartment/shop in the condo and also more natural resources to evolve.

Do you have something we can read about that? If you mean a smaller unit in a denser city, why would it consume more resources?

Flying via eVTOL to the neighbor or to the store, compared to walking down the street or down the hall, seems a lot less efficient. Then there's bicycling, public transit ... those all seem more effficient than eVTOL.

This is way too idealistic. Sure, human 'wisdom' will become more valuable, mostly as grist for training AI. But what about all the displaced workers? Even if you won't be displaced yourself, there are millions of workers who may not have much 'wisdom,' but need to eat and pay rent too. Good luck living in your highly secured bubble while starving angry mobs roam the streets.

And even if it doesn't get to that extreme, a society that doesn't take care of all of its members will be a very unpleasant place to live.

> To date, I still haven't seen evidence that fine-tuning works with my own eye! It's really frustrating.

Is this hyperbole or are you being literal here? Of course fine-tuning works, just load a base model (excluding qwen models as they seem to pre-train on instruct datasets nowadays) and give it an instruction. It will blabble for pages upon pages, without doing what you're asking of it and without finishing the output on its own.

Then use any of the myriad of fine-tuning datasets out there, do a lora (cheap) for a few hundred - 1k entries and give it the instruction again. Mind blown guaranteed.

(that's literally how every "instruct" model out there works)

I love how much utility 60+ year old Unix commands have. Very powerful, requiring only a few kB of ram, and even 20+ years later, I’m still discovering new utilities.

I did something similar for https://isgithubipv6.web.app/ . Most static site generators are huge ( I was aiming for < 5mb docker container) . I went with `envsubst` , env vars and a simple HTML template.

You are already on the right track. Fundamentals are far more important that trying to teach them whatever is current in the industry, whether that is a popular language or using AI. Those things change over time. Fundamentals do not. So keep on teaching those basics, and he'll figure out whatever the current toolkits are, as needed, just like we do.

All readers are charged for a day minimum after a festival before I pull the power. I then normally power them up at least a week before the next event so I can update them all and check that no more have randomly died on me. I keep a healthy buffer of devices so that I can replace them without paying for express shipping from Stripe which saved me for the last event I did where I had 6 of them die (before that pre-event check I only had the 1 bad NFC reader from the previous year).

I have to assume that one of the hard-shell cases got thrown around a little too much which caused 4 readers to go into tamper mode. 3 of the tamper mode readers were in the same case but the other was in my nicest case and still had the issue ("nicest" = custom made case vs pick-and-pluck-style).

The tampers I can somewhat understand (still just so odd to have 4 die "at once"), maybe they did get banged up, but the failed NFC and not holding a charge issues are less acceptable to me given the time/use.

Andor S2 was around $350M and most likely paid for itself and some. [1]

> On the other hand, I guess it's still a business, at the end of the day.

You're right, in the sense that Andor was an exception regarding every other SW show on Disney+ for the past 4 years. All had high production costs and seems like Andor is the only one which recouped itself. Acolyte was a spectacular viewship failure.

So the business logic would be to cap costs, most likely in half for now on. I don't have high expectations of Disney learning the right lessons from Andor & Tony.

I'd even argue that small web apps are easier in vanilla JS. There is a definite threshold where that flips, and inside every small web app is a large one waiting for its time to shine.

I've been struggling with how to write about and fix this paradox for a long time. We start with the heavy weight infrastructure because we don't know how large our application will end up. Small teams use microservices. Small teams build large continuous integration pipelines and strain under the complexity.

That's partially because the large teams have built open source ecosystems that make dealing with that complexity mostly invisible. That's partially because we all neglect YAGNI. And it's partially because we need better patterns on how to in-time scale our complexity.

> they factor in the cost of the engineering talent necessary

You need to do that for cloud as well. The assumption that you can just get the developers to spin up what they need doesn't work. You need a team of "cloud engineers" if you don't want your cloud bill to go crazy. I know a few people that does AWS for clients, they basically spend all their time maintaining, upgrading and reworking things to reduce the cost.

In one example, when AWS changed their IPv4 pricing, one of the went in an managed to remove 90% of their public IPv4 usage. You need to say on top of the cloud platforms, ensuring that costs stay low is a full time job.

I do think other tech gets unfairly bound up with jquery in these sorts of posts. It makes it feel more like nostalgia than a real recommendation.

Jquery isn’t going to make anything easier today. It’s definitely contemporary with this age of web development, but the expected standard library in a browser implementation of JavaScript (+css animations triggered by JavaScript) includes all of jquery’s features automatically. What you will get is more complex stack traces and a rather large dependency (large in comparison to no-dependency) that just unlocks a bespoke syntax for other JavaScript features.

Places where you used jquery, can now be just JavaScript. It’s lovely to use like that actually!

Everything else, totally agree with though!

Overall populations don't have flawed genes... Before jumping on statins and such it's important fixing underlying cause and even then try to get actual data my having imagine to get soft plaque.. not cacb score which is only relevant in later stages

High cholesterol could be from high glucose/insulin damaging arteries

Or could also be from weight loss

Simplest fixes are

- eat low carb

- don't eat all day intermittent fasting

- walk after eating to lower spike

- eat olives which protects lining of veins and arteries

- avoid seed oils

- pick antiinflammatory foods and supplements

- take l-arginine and similar supplements, sunlight, green veggies, no mouth wash, exercise to increase nitrogen oxide production... Breath through nose as well

- exercise to increase good cholesterol

- sleep well and keep cortisol low (stress)

Cholesterol is needed for hormones, brain, everything... I believe statin are linked to Alzheimer

You don’t get away from any of those by hosting in a cloud.

Your colo provider should be doing their part for physical access for ISO27001/SOC2 and PCI-DSS.

I quite literally know all about this because I was running payment card infrastructure in a colo, as part of one of the largest e-commerce software suites in the UK at the time.

Trump has never been good enough for the financial structures he has been finagled into the top position of.

So many dumpster fires but only a few official bankruptcies, well that's always what's on the table and anything goes.

Back in the 20th century almost everybody knew that Trump was not trustworthy, especially not with money, give me a break, that's what made him such a tragic/comic character.

It's almost like people forget with any org where he is the ultimate decision-maker, if there is challenging debt with no quick way out, he is more likely than most to declare bankruptcy. Otherwise it would require acumen he has never had to right a faltering ship. Plus he would be bogged down when he wanted to shift his focus to schemes that were more promising to him personally. Like other pie-in-the-sky deals back then, or something like his memecoin today. So many times in different orgs with different/leading personalities it's only a declaration away anyhow. Not normally on the menu for the best of the real decent businessmen, but what do you do when you get one that's far from the best and not even decent?

If there were some deep insight into his personal financial situation over the years, especially recently, there might be a more accurate picture whether he would be inclined to "one day" just decide to declare the whole USA bankrupt and move on to greener pastures himself. Or if the decision has already been made, who knew? Or would believe it yet anyway?

Any President could always have made more money doing something else, the whole time it's only been a matter of integrity, or lack thereof.

I developed with jQuery for nearly a decade and I would disagree.

No one who argues for this seems to remember the mess of jQuery dependencies in the form plugins people would include in projects, before HTTP/2, just to have some simple functionality like a carousel, transitions, submitting forms with AJAX (XHR), and so on. Many of those things are a few lines of code now, where they were sometimes hundreds of lines of code in the past when people developed this way.

The prototype pollution and general undefined behavior introduced by plugins was nearly impossible to track in projects where teams were plugin hungry.

Additionally, the spaghetti that existed where people would interweave on element event attributes (onclick, etc) with scripts lead to huge headaches debugging events before devtools in browsers was mature as it is today.

Honestly, I could go on forever.

Walk into a large project that is 15 years old and still using jQuery UI, and you might change your mind on the merit of its elegance.

jQuery was one of the nicest things around at a time when it was needed, but pining for this version of the past boggles my mind.

SREs have nothing to do with cloud solutions. You may have the wrong mental model here.

The profession grew out of observations made in catastrophic failures like Chernobyl.

They primarily focus on organization structures, communication structures, and responding to failures. At an engineering level they focus on meta stability - decoupling local failure from overall system stability to prevent local failures from cascading to catastrophic failures - and automated tooling to loop the right engineers into ongoing incidents.

The skill set is a side effect of operating at scale, where even brief catastrophic failures can result in hundreds of millions of dollars of losses; directly in revenue and indirectly to reputation.

I hope you plan to be careful with accepting submissions. You may just be collating things, but Disboard had (has?) an issue where it is trivial to find NSFW servers openly advertising to minors (BDSM-themed servers with "We are looking for new members, 14-28 years old", or "content-selling" sites with minors).

Disboard isn't responsible for these servers existing, but it's surprising how little attention this has gotten Discord. It seems only a matter of time, and I would expect you don't want to be drawn into the mess that that could cause.

On average, neither Americans nor Europeans know how to spend their time of money well to really better their life andor the world around them. They mostly spend it on wasteful things that lead to them burning out their mental and physical health faster rather than slower. Some of these wasteful things are: gambling without a strategy, unnecessary material goods, expensive cars, excessive vacations, restaurants, illegal or unsafe drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.

Aside from what others have pointed out about fixability in post: People have pretty low expectations for most shots in most films. Every film has many mistakes in it that film buffs have fun cataloguing and no one else ever notices. Part of the art of filmmaking is knowing what must be fixed and what can be ignored, which is awfully similar to the job of a product manager.

I would say the target audience is anyone deploying ML models cross-platform, specifically ones that would require supporting code beyond the TFLite runtime to make it work.

LLMs and computer vision tasks are good examples of this.

For example, a hand-gesture recognizer might require: - Pre-processing of input image to certain color space + image size - Copy of image to GPU memory - Run of object detection TFLite model to detect hand - Resize of output image - Run of gesture recognition TFLite model to detect gesture - Post processing of gesture output to something useful

Shipping this to iOS+Android requires a lot of code beyond executing TFLite models.

The Google Mediapipe approach is to package this graph pipeline, and shared processing "nodes" into a single C++ library where you can pick and choose what you need and re-use operations across tasks. The library also compiles cross-platform and the supporting tasks can offer GPU acceleration options.

One internal debate Google likely had was whether it was best to extend TFLite runtime with these features, or to build a separate library (Mediapipe). TFLite already supports custom compile options with additional operations.

My guess is they thought it was best to keep TFLite focused on "tensor based computation" tasks and offload broader operations like LLM and image processing into a separate library.

The look into these is neat but…why immediately open it up and trigger the tamper state? Did they not know most readers would have one?

Any real testing happening in the tamper state might be meaningless. Perhaps the shell is available after the tamper state triggers for resetting purposes.

It just seems like opening it would be the last thing you would try.

They also settled the tabs vs. spaces debate by declaring tabs a syntax error, end of discussion. Same with unused variables which are a compile-time error.

The thing is, I don't disagree with the fundamental arguments that led to these decisions, I just think it goes a step too far and they're trying too hard. I understand they aim to reduce footguns in C with that language but that doesn't mean they have to prevent someone from wearing the wrong shoe for the occasion.

Software projects don't usually have the luxury of a violent but intuitive dictator running the thing. Obviously a mega budget tv show is going to be run from afar most of the time.

Software can be like this, e.g. if you were building a small team to do something you cared about it would probably be more like a 3* kitchen than support team inside IBM or something.

Maybe somewhere in the middle? :) "use client" is more first-class than wrapping code in a string because it gives you an opaque reference to the module and its dependencies in a way that gets seamlessly unwrapped on the other machine. It doesn't really feel like dealing with strings because it's integrated with the module system. But yes, it's opaque unless quoting.
