They are free to be. When joining the EU, Poland accepted to join the monetary union at some point, but there is no date set, so in theory it can be infinite. And with its current strategy to drastically modernize and increase its military force, there is no doubt it will not met the financial criteria anytime soon so nobody is worried about that.

A few months ago I was asking myself, why is the "standard" width of a terminal 80 characters? I assumed it had to do with the screen size of some early PCs.

But nope, its because a punch card was 80 characters wide. And the first punch cards were basically just index cards. Another hat tip to the librarians.

I guess this is the computing equivalent of a car being the width of two horse's asses...

I'd be surprised. That kind of thing was en vogue for a little while in the early 2000s before cooler heads prevailed, but now people will understandably shout at you for changing behavior in someone else's code.

My guess is that nearly all packages that did this sort of thing were left behind in the 2-to-3 migration, which a lot of us used as the excuse for a clean break.

If I'm going to do HTML that isn't HTML then I might as well not do HTML, there's a lot of sharp edges in that particular markup that I'd prefer to avoid.

> Why aren't you worried about badly formatted JSON?

Because the json spec is much smaller than the HTML spec so it is much easier for the parser to prevalidate and reject invalid JSON.

Maybe I need to reread the paper and substitute "a good hypermedia language" for HTML conceptually, see if it makes more sense to me.

Yeah.

I've got it up and running with some Nanoleaf lights and Amazon Echo running as border routers, and it's rock solid nowadays. But my wife hates voice-controlled devices, so I can't put them in elsewhere until I can slap in some buttons to control them. And that's basically not supported, which leaves me thinking that either the spec is a disaster or Google/Amazon are deliberately kneecapping it.

It doesn't sound like English, at least in my brain it doesn't register as English, and I may have found a plausible reason: If you look up the amount of English words with the letters "iarda" on them you only find 3 words (at least according to wordmine.info), but French shows 38 words, even just "arda" the difference is huge: 317 vs 2017 words https://www.wordmine.info/french/words-with?minletters=2&max...

I feel like the whole concept of "left/right", when applied to news reporting especially, just makes the "false balance" issue impossible to deal with.

We don't have "right leaning facts", we either have facts or we don't.

And yes, omitting facts or focusing on others can certainly influence people, but we aren't even at that point any more, we have lies being positioned as equally valid "other side" arguments.

>I’ll assume the average GPU price, for the sake of argument, is $1000.

They make big bucks on the premium end of their chips. Those contracts are typically on the 8-figure range, I would think they easily have thousands of them around the world.

Even Jensen has implied[1] that the consumer GPU market (i.e. gaming) holds a minor share of revenue these days.

Is there an Express.js adapter for Inertia.js?
by jerawaj740 | 2025-07-09 16:59:25+00:00
I like how Inertia.js lets you build modern apps without a full API, but most examples use Laravel or Rails. I prefer using Express.js Is there an existing Express.js adapter for Inertia, or has anyone here tried integrating them cleanly? Would love to hear your approaches or lessons if you’ve tried this

With NCSA HTTPd I'm pretty sure it was literally the only way to do dynamic things at least initially. Which makes sense for the time period, I mean it's the same basic idea as inetd but for HTTP and with some differing implementation details.

Is the selling point of shared hosting and "serverless" PaaS platforms similar? To an extent it definitely is, but I think another major selling point of shared hosting was the price. For a really long time it was the only economically sane option, and even when cheap low end VPS options (usually OpenVZ-based) emerged, they were usually not as good for a lot of workloads as a similarly priced shared hosting option.

But at that point, we're basically debating whether or not the term "serverless" has merit, and that's not an argument I plan to make. I'm only trying to make the argument that serverless is about the actual abstraction of traditional server machines. Shared hosting is just about having someone else do it for you. These are similar, but different.

> if you imagine a device has a 10 year lifespan, I would guess that making the provisioning hardware probably translates into at a minimum a full month of downtime over the lifespan of the device, with many devices being down for months or years at a time because no one can be bothered to figure out why.

Should we understand this as an estimate that the consumers were tricked by difficult-to-cancel (or to opt-out) services for a total of $100 million of grift per year?

Then why should we get all emotional about it being blocked by the current legislation?

That's an excellent thing that this "profit" was destroyed, it is a net benefit for society indeed.

Sorry, not sorry. Spin it however you want to help yourself sleep at night, but this product exists to capture data that users don't want captured, and I find that to be rude. Even if the data is "anonymous", it's still fed into algorithms and LLMs built explicitly for mass manipulation. And even anonymized data can be de-anonymized if you have enough points of cross reference.

Accurate metrics may be useful, but business got along just fine without all this data for centuries, so to say they are critical is a joke. Targeted advertising might make a lot of money for a very small number of people, but it has been a disaster for society at large.

The West can be fraught with flaws and weaknesses and there exist bad actors taking advantage of this. This doesn't excuse the active and malicious exploitation of those flaws and weaknesses by other nations, and it doesn't somehow make continuing with the situation the logical outcome.

TikTok is worse than fentanyl. Merely by using it, you're making it better at destroying time, exploiting minds like yours, and becoming more effective at the malignant uses to which it is put, whether by China, trolls, or marketing departments.

YouTube isn't much better. We need regulation banning the adtech global surveillance system from harvesting data, and strict regulation limiting what can be done with data that is voluntarily shared, and how that data is secured and discarded. We've been dealing with terrible outcomes from the status quo for more than ten years; it's past time to fix it.

If a company can't abide by the regulation, either due to scaling compliance or technological dependency on protected data, then the company should fail.

With a sane system, the doom spiral of hyperpersuasion content factories tailoring attention sinks to individuals wouldn't be possible.

Just checked again, those ideas have started to mature to something that is possible now (vs 6 months ago when I last looked). I have kids and many other things in my life, so I'm don't have much time to work on projects like this. That might be what I end up doing, for now I just have a light that hasn't worked for months because I don't want to figure this out (the manual switch is broken. Since the switch is both rarely used and one I'd want remotely controlled anyway I've been hesitating)

You elided the part where TFA claims you can't test "unconventional email formats" via test orders. The full quote is:

Thing is, NVIDIA ships waaaay more than GPUs. Or, perhaps more accurately, NVIDIA ships chips. Other manufacturers install those chips. Sitting in my office right now, I have 5 computers, and between them I'd estimate I have 15 NVIDIA chips, minimum. Maybe more, I haven't carefully examined my NVIDIA-based, ASUS-manufactured graphics card to see how many name-brand chips it has.

That's to say nothing of all the other products and services they build. I just visited their website, clicked on "solutions" at the top, and there's waaaay more there than just desktop GPUs. And its worth noting that NVIDIA doesn't manufacture or sell any of the down-market NVIDIA-based boards.

Given NVIDIA's role in data centers, I think the 4T market cap is, while probably still somewhat inflated by speculation, not so inflated as to be a bubble ready to pop.

> is based on a mov- ing unstructured mesh defined by the Voronoi tessellation of a set of discrete points. The mesh is used to solve the hyperbolic conservation laws of ideal hydrodynamics with a finite volume approach, based on a second-order unsplit Godunov scheme with an exact Riemann solver. The mesh-generating points can in principle be moved ar- bitrarily.

The visual examples at the bottom feel very impressive. I haven't diced fully in, but it feels like there's points where they need to be, that represent the simulation well.

In German, we use "aufrufen", which means "to call up" if you translate it fragment-by-fragment, and in pre-computer times would (as far as I know) only be understood as "to call somebody up by their name or nummer" (like a teacher asking a student to speak or get up) when used with a direct object (as it is for functions).

It's also separate from the verb for making a phone call, which would be "anrufen".

> On the contrary there are "serverless" platforms that run servers!

That's the trouble when a term catches on — everyone wants to jump all over it and use it as they please.

This is hardly a unique situation. Look at SQL. According to the very creator of the relational model, SQL isn't relational, but the SQL specification latched onto the term anyway because it was trendy to do so. As a result, today, I think it is fair to say that "relational" has taken on dual meaning, both referring to the model as originally conceived as well as what SQL created.

If you wish to maintain that "serverless" now refers to both an execution model and outsourced management of computer systems, I think that is fair. However, it is apparent that "serverless" was originally popularized by Lamba, named as such due to its CGI-inspired execution model. Other angles came later.

Htmx essays have already been mentioned, so here are my thoughts on the matter. I feel like to have a productive discussion of REST and HATEOAS, we must first agree on the basics. Repeating my own comment from a couple of weeks ago, H stands for hypermedia, and hypermedia is a type of media, that uses common format for representing some server-driven state and embedding hypermedia controls which are presented by back-end agnostic hypermedia client to a user for discoverability and interaction.

As such, JSON driven APIs can't be REST, since there is no common format for representing hypermedia controls, which means that there's no way to implement hypermedia client which can present those controls to the user and facilitate interactions. Is there such implmentation? Yes, HTML is the hypermedia, <input>s and <button>s are controls and browsers are the clients. REST and HATEOAS is designed for the humans, and trying to somehow combine it with machine-to-machine interaction results in awkward implementations, blurry definitions and overcomplication.

Richardson maturity model is a clear indication of those problems, I see it as an admission of "well, there isn't much practicality in doing proper REST for machine-to-machine comms, but that's fine, you can only do some parts of it and it's still counts". I'm not saying we shouldn't use its ideas, resource-based URLs are nice, using feature of HTTP is reasonable, but under the name REST it leads to constant arguments between the "dissertation" crowd and "the industry has moved on" crowd. The worst/best part is both those crowds are totally right and this argument will continue for as long as we use HTTP

I guess the fact that some manufacturer integrations are flaky is hard to reconcile for me as far as the promise of "having multiple kinds of smart devices isn't really a problem". Regardless of whose fault it is, those flaky devices contribute to a less stable system.

It's been a bit since I was operating it, but I did at times certainly have issues with updates—perhaps just individual plugins or system updates that created an issue, either way, still a situation where I had to sit at a terminal and debug. I only ever ran the Docker version, not the OS, so perhaps this is less problematic in a more completely controlled stack.

> Having a guy named Steve manage your servers is not "serverless" by my definition, because it's not about you personally having to manage the server, it's about anyone personally having to manage it. AWS Lambda is managed by Amazon as a singular giant computer

Well, that's sort of true of AWS Lambda, but it's just as true of EC2 and EBS, which aren't called "serverless". Moreover, "serverless" is a marketing term used to sell the service to Amazon customers, who can't tell whether or not there's a guy named Steve working at Amazon who lovingly nurtures each server†, or whether Amazon manages their whole Lambda farm as a giant herd of anonymous nodes, so I don't think it makes sense to argue that this is what it's intended to mean. As you point out, it's kind of a nonsense term since the code does in fact run on servers. I believe you were correct the first time in your earlier comments that you are now contradicting: they call it "serverless" because the customer doesn't have to manage servers, not because their own employees don't have to manage servers (except collectively).

> enables you to run stateless containers that are invocable via HTTP requests. (...) abstracts away all infrastructure management

This is a precise description of the value proposition that old-fashioned CGI hosting offers to hosting customers. (The containers are processes instead of KVM machines like Firecracker or cgroups like Docker, but "container" is a pretty generic term.)

So I think you've very clearly established that CGI scripts are "serverless" in the sense that Google's marketing uses, and, in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44512427, the sense that Amazon's marketing uses.

______

† Well, Steve would probably cost more than what Amazon charges, so customers may have a pretty good guess, but it could be a loss leader or something.

>TikTok's mission to sow dissent

You mean a western/Canadian marketting firm run by an Indian?

This comment is definitely part of CIA's mission to sow anti TikTok dissent in propagandized western countries.

>lousy critical thinking skills

Amplified by Canadians with basic critical thinking skills from having eyes and a brain.

In last 20 years, Canadian immigration went from 10% -> 25% Indians, 25k to 125k.

Indian (and Pakistani) operated western franchises are notorious for hiring their own in Canadian urban areas. Disproportionately so. They're also the diasphora that now disproportionately, visibly runs timmies, pizza pizza, popeyes etc... aka western franchises. Almost every other diasphora, i.e. East Asians, now mostly visibly operates their own ethnic franchises (bubble tea etc). 10/20/30 years ago everyone was running subways, convience stores, gas stations, but immigration rate was less, and you still had teens working summer jobs at many of these places.

No minority group has peaked Canadian immigration like Indians. PRC at second highest was only 30k per year. No other diasphora had numbers to sweep entry level hiring in franchises historically.

And this isn't even a knock on Indian ran operations - TBH quality tends to go up when Timmies switch to Indian ownership that replaces workforce with Indians. But let's not pretend there's not (at least very obviously percieved) biased in hiring. I know people in social services that work with youth in at/risk diasphora communities, there's pervasive complaining that they're locked out of a lot of entry level jobs because Indian businesses won't hire them.

>Researchers say the discovery sheds light on what became of the Americas' oldest civilisation, the Caral.

Oldest civilization is a bit of a stretch. Earliest surviving structures is a stretch, but it's one we know about, so I guess they have to base it off that. More and more evidence is showing that humans were in the Americas farther back in time. While they weren't the builders of of fine stonework and megalithic structures like the Olmec (that we know of), there were certainly civilizations and cities before humans suddenly started building the massive pyramids and cities we have uncovered so far. There's a lot of secrets still hidden in the South American jungles.

That's blatantly false. The panels themselves are typically rated for a 25-year service life [1,2]. Inverters are typically rated for about a decade [3,4]. Solar panels also must be cleaned periodically [5], otherwise their output is reduced. It's a power plant. It will need maintenance. As PV technology improves, there's also pressure to buy better solar panels [6] to replace older, lower-performing panels, resulting in disposal problems that hardly need explanation.

I'm all for solar, generally. Among current renewables, it's the most feasible solution for much of the US. But the idea that they're a "one-time" cost is fantasy.

No, it's not. Here, I'll repeat the context for you:

> > Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference.

> You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

Pay special attention to the phrasing "a role". We are not talking about specifically this role.
