> I have to conclude you're unfamiliar with what multiplayer gaming was like when servers were the norm.

Did you even played a single game competitively ? The fact you keep pushing for server browser tell me that no, you need communities on something else. You likely forgot the hassle that server browser were, and forgot that lots of games didn't had a server browser.

LFG communities were important and excluding this shows you were only playing casually, forgot all the problems servers browser had.

Do you even remember, that you could get malware by joining servers in a server list ?!?

It's not from systemd though. glibc's NSS stuff has been around since... 1996?, and it had support for lookups over NIS in the same year, so getaddrinfo() (or rather gethostbyname(), since this predates getaddrinfo()!) have never just been DNS.

systemd-resolved normally does use a separate protocol, specifically an NSS plugin (see /etc/nsswitch.conf). The DNS server part is mostly only there as a fallback/compatibility hack for software that tries to implement its own name resolution by reading /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf and doing DNS queries.

I suppose "the DNS compatibility hack should follow DNS RFCs" is a reasonable argument... but applications normally go via the NSS plugin anyway, not via that fallback, so it probably wouldn't have helped you much.

I don't care if this kills Google and OpenAI.

I hope it does, though I'm doubtful because distribution is important. You can't beat "ChatGPT" as a brand in laypeople's minds (unless perhaps you give them a massive "Temu: Shop Like A Billionaire" commercial campaign).

Closed source AI is almost by design morphing into an industrial, infrastructure-heavy rocket science that commoners can't keep up with. The companies pushing it are building an industry we can't participate or share in. They're cordoning off areas of tech and staking ground for themselves. It's placing a steep fence around tech.

I hope every such closed source AI effort is met with equivalent open source and that the investments made into closed AI go to zero.

The most likely outcome is that Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic win and every other "lab"-shaped company dies an expensive death. RunwayML spent hundreds of millions and they're barely noticeable now.

These open source models hasten the deaths of the second tier also-ran companies. As much as I hope for dents in the big three, I'm doubtful.

Oh they need control of models to be able to censor and ensure whatever happens inside the country with AI stays under their control. But the open-source part? Idk I think they do it to mess with the US investment and for the typical open source reasons of companies: community, marketing, etc. But tbh especially the messing with the US, as a european with no serious competitor, I can get behind.

That restriction is mysteriously absent from the actual published data showing their revenue growth rate spiking sharply when ACA was passed. There’s lots of sources for that data, but I liked this chart for its simplicity:

https://images.jacobinmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/111...

It presents nice easy datapoints: Cigna raised its profits by $40B/yr, an increase of 400% of its pre-subsidy profits, in just a decade — and one can safely assume that now that they’re accustomed to the new profit levels, there is no way they’ll voluntarily give them up. Whatever was intended with the medical loss ratio, Congress fucked up by not including a simple dollars-per-subscriber cap on net revenue.

The 5 little fans are on high while the box fan is on low. The box fan is capable of much higher airflow, but the objection is noise.

The PC case fans have been specifically designed to be as quiet as possible. The Lasko box fan ... well, these are cheap fans. They're designed to be manufactured at the lowest price possible while still meeting the low quality bar of "It's acceptable considering I got the cheapest option that WalMart carries". But in general yes, box fans are terrible.

I've seen what's said online these days. Open racism and bigotry. This has always been the case but now it's done without shame by prominent people and influencers using their real account. Twitter is as bad as Stormfront these days.

We absolutely need to police hate speech.

> There has to be a line.

There is no line at all these days, with open hatred displayed. Fascism is on the rise across the world off the back of the hatred that's produced on social media.

> Every day 33 brits are arrested for what they say online.

They must be giving them tea and crumpets before releasing them to generate more hate online because it clearly isn't working.

I _kind of_ understand this one. You can think of a bubble as a market exploring a bunch of different possibilities, a lot of which may not work out. But the ones that do work out, they may go on to be foundational. Sort of like startups: you bet that most of them will fail, but that's okay, you're making bets!

The difference of course is that when a startup goes out of business, it's fine (from my perspective) because it was probably all VC money anyway and so it doesn't cause much damage, whereas the entire economy bubble popping causes a lot of damage.

I don't know that he's arguing that they are good, but rather that _some_ kinds of bubbles can have a lot of positive effects.

Maybe he's doing the same thing here, I don't know. I see the words "advertising would make X Product better" and I stop reading. Perhaps I am blindly following my own ideology here :shrug:.

I used to agree with this, but nowadays it seems that the factors constricting housing supply are in many places related to zoning and regulation, not the ability for developers to make a profit, so rent control might have much less downside than economists have conventionally assumed.

EDIT: I am seeing a nephew comment that says rent control could make NIMBY politics even worse because it makes renters' interests more like homeowners'. Hadn't thought of that.

I think you're neglecting that most of Toronto is restrictively zoned for SFHs while Edmonton is upzoned across the city for 8-plexes at a minimum.

Toronto has a cumbersome permitting process that runs from months to years, while Edmonton's process is mostly automated and grants permits within weeks.

Regardless, the other relevant factor here is the actual price of housing, which is substantially higher in Toronto... and yet Toronto struggles (by design) to build anything.

It's maybe possible. Custom shaders are OpenGL syntax so it'd require transforming them to something compatible with WebGL/WebGPU. In Ghostty GUI we use spire-cross and glslang to transpile shaders at runtime from OpenGL to Metal or OpenGL (with features our host supports).

We'd have to look and see if these support WebGL/GPU. The next problem would be making all that fit into the wasm blob.

Or, we may be able to skip most of this is the OpenGL syntax we use is already compatible. Then no transpiling necessary...

I'm sure Ol' John is no player when we compare how much investment funds have being pushing to buy homes. Around here, you can't even bid for a small apartment. They get sold to the folks before they start. Paying flat taxes on hundreds of properties doesnt make sense. They don't contribute to generate more jobs. They just replace the buyer and charge extra money that could have be reverted to other expenses that would create a healthier economy by diversity.

I feel you man. I had a lot of lunches alone at a McDonalds walking distance from the office having a quarter pounder with a side salad streaming shows on my Windows Phone through a Slingbox back in the day. Just gotta get out and disconnect for a half hour to reset my mind from the problems of the day.

That was the same year where I was homeless while technically having a "tech" job.
Show HN: Search Airbnb listings with unique amenities (piano, sauna, etc.)
by hommus | 2025-12-01 20:31:27+00:00
I'm traveling for the year and wanted to find airbnbs with pianos so I could keep learning. Unfortunately, airbnb doesn't let you filter by uncommon amenities (pianos, saunas, etc). So I built a tool to help do just that. It's simple and free.

How it works: Start your search on airbnb (location, dates, guests, etc), copy that URL and paste it into revealbnb.com, select your amenities, and you'll get an updated airbnb URL with those filters applied.

Have a gander and let me know what you think.

> most are priced out of the housing market right now and stuck renting apartments is a complete tragedy

It absolutely is, but as one of those myself, I just refuse to even attempt to pay their prices and will make the best of life while renting and doing other things, not having kids, not owning property unless the ratio changes dramatically. Owning at most a tiny condo for half a million where I live, or moving to the boonies to own marginally more for less is simply not appealing to me, it doesn't unlock anything but a vague sense of security and a shit ton of liability. I hope more people choose the same until the working age tranch of purchasing power isn't as available as they'd like and prices have to drop. It's a major issue, but maybe I should be thankful I never adopted the boomer/genx dreams of owning a place and having a family or whatever. It's something I'm morbidly watching from the sidelines for now (in my early-mid thirties), but there are no circumstances except a miracle side hustle that could create the circumstances for me to actually pursue a mortgage on a place in my city.

>The elderly are on Medicare, and health care providers know they can treat much more aggressively when the government is picking up the tab.

People should not make the unqualified statement that Medicare is free, which is what "the government is picking up the tab" sounds like. Medicare isn't free. Some people, not all, can qualify for free Part A but Parts B, C and D have premiums no matter what.

Protos are great. Last time I did a small project in NodeJS, I set up a server that defines the entire API in a .proto and serves each endpoint as either proto or json, depending on the content header. Even if the clients want to use json, at least I can define the whole API in proto spec instead of something like Swagger.

So my question is, why didn't Google just provide that as a library? The setup wasn't hard but wasn't trivial either, and had several "wrong" ways to set up the proto side. They also bait most people with gRPC, which is its own separate annoying thing that requires HTTP/2, which even Google's own cloud products don't support well (e.g App Engine).

P.S. Text proto is also the best static config language. More readable than JSON, less error-prone than YAML, more structure than both.

Precision | New York City (Optional Remote) | Founder seeking first technical teammate

I’m a solo founder in NYC building Precision — a platform that automates commercial real-estate underwriting and valuation. The proof-of-concept is fully working and has been demoed to institutional CRE professionals with strong feedback. I come from institutional CRE investment banking and have a solid technical foundation (built the entire PoC myself).

I’m looking for a strong engineer interested in joining early to help take the product from proof of concept → production: architecture, database design, scaling, multi-tenant security, and integrating AI for document abstraction.

Stack: React, Node/Express, MongoDB (MERN).

If this sounds interesting, reply or email me: kylemarsh49 [at] gmail [dot] com

Happy to share the demo and discuss what a technical partnership could look like.

>it's tough to imagine buying and then being on the hook for a mortgage without a job even with some savings

Key thing to remember here is that you always have to live somewhere, even if you're laid off. Unless you're ready to head out to BFE to save a few hundred bucks on rent, it doesn't get much better than owning in that situation. Plus you could potentially have equity to tap, get a hardship forbearance, or worst case scenario foreclosures take much longer than evictions. This was the lesson COVID era taught me; if you're losing your home it's considered a tragedy, and there are tons of resources to help you. But if you're being evicted from an apartment it's considered a personal moral failure, and you're treated like a criminal.

> it's not as if we suddenly created 20-50% more qualified buyers in that time.

We don't create buyers quickly, but mobility means that a large number of buyers can show up in one concentrated area much more quickly than housing can adapt.

One piece of the US real estate puzzle is that automation and outsourced killed agriculture and manufacturing jobs. Those are the kinds of jobs that have some natural incentive to be spread across the US. Ag, because farms literally take up a lot of space and are spread out, and manufacturing because factories tend to be close to raw materials, ports, or other local resources.

When you get rid of those jobs and replace them with information work, you create a feedback loop with no dampening in it. People want to go where the most jobs are, so they move to the cities. Businesses want to open where the most workers are, so they start companies in cities.

The next thing you know, all the small towns are filled with dirt cheap empty houses because there are no jobs. Meanwhile, every metro area is bursting at the seams.

it is not necessary to use or to implement all of the data types and other features of ASN.1; you can implement only the features that you are using. Since DER uses the same framing for all data types, it is possible to skip past any fields that you do not care about (although in some cases you will still need to check its type, to determine whether or not an optional field is present; fortunately the type can be checked easily, even if it is not a type you implement).

This is a poor take on what LLM's actually are. They don't understand in any real sense.

If you had enough paper and ink and the patience to go through it all you could take all the training data and manually step through and train the same model. Then once you have trained the model you could use more pen and paper to step through the correct prompts to arrive at the answer. All of this would be a completely mechanical process.

I don't think the effect would be serious. I have plotted explorations of the wilderness off topo maps--and I always head out perfectly well knowing that the map isn't a sufficiently accurate representation of reality to actually trust it. The flatter the terrain on the map the more likely it will prove passable on the ground but features can be small enough to not show, yet make it impractical to get through.

You have good data, you just have to figure out how to shape it into a way that other people can understand. I see that sometimes in what you write! But othertimes the pain and trauma of this perception for which you have no frame of reference nor training from society comes through. You have a heavy burden, but you bear it nobly. Good on you, keep going, but only you can find your way. Yours is a hard path. But you will inspire. I think you are heading in the right direction, but you still have a long way to go. good luck. :)

Man. I did as a kid in school. I did some stupid "I am not touching it" games on the glass front and that button sucked itself in like I was opening a hatch on ISS. "Push hard" my ass. Firefighters popped up, I was so embarrassed to apologize to teachers, firefighters, school principal and even colleagues who complained for some reason about the unscheduled break. It wasn't even cold outside then!

My dad knew the right people and somehow bailed me out, but I still feel awkward passing by their main station where I also had to show up to explain myself. That was effing 35y ago, roughly!

Over 15 years I've worked both in large corporations in cross-functional teams, small teams (5-10) at small to medium companies, and alone as a freelancer taking on projects across many different technologies. My focus in the past few years has been on being a force multiplier for my team and increasing predictability, stability, and developer enjoyment of output. I'm also a big proponent of mentoring and frequently create tech talks from the daily work notes I take so that the lessons from any challenges I face benefit not only me, but my team as well.

My preference is functional languages and companies that use Nix and/or NixOS, but it's more important to have a healthy company and team than any specific technology.

I also do Parkour in my free time, and I have given lessons to coworkers in the past who are interested :)

> Matchmaking requires some form of anti-cheat.

Does it though? Unless winning has real-world rewards, does it really matter that much if you are playing against someone who is cheating, if with cheating, they are evenly matched against you? Assuming the matchmaking works well, people who cheat would end up getting matched with either other people who cheat, or people who are good enough to compete against cheaters.
