F1 is about 10x better than other racing series or car tech. The top speed and power obviously not. But look at the max. rpm. Capped now at about 20k, but they can easily go to 26k. F1 is all about high freq and acceleration. Internal systems are running at 10khz cycles, normally a NASCAR or normal car Max is 500-1k. F1 dynos are small monsters compared to NASCAR. Dragsters have strong power, 3x more than F1 with stronger dynos but this is like a ship dyno. You could use cheap hydraulic dynos to test them.

Transmitted data rates and sensors are insane, team budgets ditto.
NASCAR and Indy could never use that much sensor tech as F1. They are highly motivated, but it's a different league. The F1 dyno tech would blow away any Tesla e-motor.
X-ray shows the actors that are in that specific scene. Does IMDB have this information that they just don't show on their public site? That seems a lot more useful of a database than the few titles Prime offers it on.
Well, it isn't much of a problem, All you need is to use `django-ajax-selects`, and you can make all the fields with foreignKey into ajax loading like select2. If that's your biggest gripe with admin, then here is an easy solution for that.

In Django, you need to explicitly do some things and that's okay.
It reminds me of an old story about Microsoft Windows. Back in the early 2000's, compiling and building Windows from source code took many hours on very specialized build hardware. Meanwhile there were thousands of developers who contributed to the full Windows stack. If any developer checked in a build failure, it would cause the build to be delayed. Well, at that scale (of thousands of developers), you can't compile Windows even if devs only commit 1 build break per year. Bad times...

Coincidentally, a couple months ago one of my professors told me about James Hamilton, apparently, they met when he was studying at Waterloo. I started reading his blog.

This guy is brilliant. And his comments are often gems. The articles are good too but think of them as conversation openers. The real deal is in the comments imho. I recommend it. A somewhat funny article is about Zynga, the "prodigal kid" who left AWS for on-premises, only to come back later: http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2015/05/the-return-to-the-c...

In the comments, he debunks (or take a shot at it) the idea that cloud providers like AWS aren't a good fit for organizations which have massive, but stable workloads.

This guy is so cool. I only wish he had more time to write.
We use swagger heavily and I can say the following:
1) We use the tolerant reader pattern. It is entirely possible to generate tolerant client code where the enum and adding new element does not cause issues. The problem here is not swagger but poor code gen.

2) We use hypermedia in all of our APIs extensively, I don't see how this is impacted by swagger? Hypermedia is a runtime discovery mechanism and so other than declaring the link structures in your schema, has no place in swagger. We don't use HAL, and wouldn't recommend it either.
Admin is an app written in Django. Don't see how evaluating admin app applies to evaluating Django.
Kernel ABI is not the dominant part of the problem.

The stagefright debacle didn't have anything to do with the kernel or Linux ABIs. libstagefight is Android's own userspace library.

Quadrooter was kind of related to ABIs in that it was inside Qualcomm's driver, but it would still have been trivial for vendors to just pop in a patched driver from Qualcomm and release a software update. They do all have systems ready for making software updates, since phones ~always get OTAs early in their lifetimes. A stable kernel ABI (so all vendors could have samed the same binary of the fixed driver) would not have made this significantly easier.

The main problem is lack of product liability cases due to lack of high profile really bad things happening (malicious worm epidemic etc). If consumers demanded (and won) their money back from phone vendors due to security incidents, diligence wrt updates would get written into contracts between operators, phone vendors, SoC providers etc and it would work.
Yup instead of starting a side project you should acquire some tezos blockchain token and build IOT project on top of it when the network launch

doesn't sound very cheap, in my European 40K hometown cheapest flat rate taxi cost 1.3€ without any subsidy, there is no way public transport can compete with them when already two people can rather take taxi instead of bus

also, isn't Vienna like 1€ per day if you buy yearly pass? i think Prague is even cheaper, so 3-5$ per ride sound extremely expensive

Why are folks using Swagger or other tools for supposedly simple REST services at all? It's not like Swagger is a "standard" or something, and from the comments it appears using tooling for REST is a zero-sum game or even net loss.

Here's what I did: at work I needed something. (A git commit graph). But the one I found was #1. buggy, and #2. too expensive. It wasn't my money, but I just couldn't allow my company to pay that much.

So I made my own, and fixed the bug: http://bit-booster.com/best.html

And then I realized I needed a rebase button on the pull-request screen... and so it continues to evolve.

Here's the thing: I've always known I'm a good maintenance programmer. I've always preferred working on existing software instead of making new software from scratch. And writing add-ons for Bitbucket is basically just another form of maintenance programming: reading Bitbucket's code, noticing its flaws and shortcomings, and fixing them.

Also, I love git, and I love going very deep into git (e.g., https://github.com/gsylvie/git-reverse.sh). So this is my dream job.

I've only made $7,000 USD after 1 year on this side project. But $1 of those dollars feels better than $10,000 from my day job.
> Also, if someone here has an answer: Why in the design of Windows aren't programs installed or symlinked in the PATH by default? I guess that was a design choice somewhere along the history of Windows/DOS. Is there a reason?

This get's to the real issue of what makes powershell so horrible. It's not that anyone loves bash scripts, it's that there are a tonne of great utilities that bash script tie together. Windows doesn't have this.
Seems to skew more towards bigger companies - Red Hat, SAS, Epic, I think IBM and Cisco have some offices in the Triangle too. When I checked like a year ago Durham seemed to be getting some smaller startup action, and is a surprisingly fun town for its size.
We started it using it for it's documentation and developer console generation ability at first, I have to say that I am much happier when I get given a swagger definition for an API, it lets me generate a client pretty much instantly and as long as the definition is written well it more often than not halves my integration time

Ask HN: Looking for a collaborator on a side project
It's a data processing tool for relational databases that runs directly in the browser. It solves a common problem in minutes that took me hours in my last project. Definitely a scratch your own itch kind of thing.

I have a basic working demo and I'm looking for a collaborator to help get it to the finish line. JS and RDBMS experience will be necessary. To be clear -- this is just for fun, possibly to develop a working relationship to collaborate on bigger things in the future. It can be monetized but that's not the main goal.

Thanks for your comment, and that of others. It appears that my culture is the odd one out where flatsharing is viewed very negatively.

Sure, it's not non-existent, I have many friends who have done it at some point in their lives, but it was always with existing friends. Advertising for a roommate, i.e. inviting a stranger to share your place is very unusual.

People's expectations of privacy are simply much higher.

The cheapest form of housing for college students is one where you share a kitchen and a living room with a bunch of other people, but everyone has their own private bedroom and bathroom with a door that locks. College dorms is just not done.

It is possible to rent a room in someone else's apartment, but usually in that arrangement the apartment is built such that the part that's rented out is a bit more off, has it's own bathroom, and has its own front door.
As long as the US defense budget is bigger than the next 10 nations combined, might as well throw money around.

>F1 is totally not the absolute pinnacle of car technology
>Red Bull / Aston Martin and the AMG project will shame any F1 car

You know, there is no objective measure of "pinnacle of technology", and F1 cars are completely lacking in a variety of technological kit... the entertainment systems, for example.

But the F1 development budgets dwarf the total budgets of the projects you mention. Teams spend hundreds of millions of dollars on engine development alone each year.

And by objective measure of circuit lap times, nothing touches the F1 cars, despite all the restrictions.

So yeah... The Red Bull/AMG etc might be the equivalent of a fully loaded Alienware PC... but the F1 cars are whatever Intel/IBM/NVidia has in their labs.
I was engaged in a smallish project recently where they used Swagger as a shared resource that synced server dev with mobile dev. It didn't work that well, as you can imagine.. I had to wait for the server folks to update/fix Swagger docs all the time. They also thought that they need not tell me when a breaking change occurred, because "you will see it in Swagger anyway". So I pulled changes regularly, and generated iOS code, and suddenly it broke, and then I had to hope that one of the server team is currently available for consultation.
I was at that race and it was indeed pretty great. Vettel slid his car on the last lap right in front of the stands where I was sitting, not a terrible loss of control but enough to give up the position. So fun to watch.

I'm a little more skeptical than you. I think it's interesting they are trying this, but uber being a good choice? We'll see. How many drivers sign up? Are rides available when needed? etc. Uber has shown they replace taxis pretty well, but have they shown they can replace public transit? Let's find out...

Come to think of it, I think I remember reading about someone that did that with some DOS-era games to port them to ARM handheld game systems. I've got a similar target in mind.

838 points later and this post is only the 2nd reply directly to the OP? And much of the commentary to date is about command line tools on Windows? Wow. Blasphemy.

OK, I'll bite. I'll talk about the Mac Pro news.

First, I'll state the obvious and applaud Apple for conducting a "Mac State of the Union" with a Congress of the Apple press. Bravo.

Looking at the details, I think we should be careful when assessing the use of iMacs, laptops, and Mini's by the pro user base. Specifically, were these folks running to the pro merits of these other devices or running away from the lack of a viable Mac Pro option? I think the latter.

I'm a Mac Pro user (2009 5.1) and devotee. I also own a top-line 5K iMac. I'd much rather do heavy computing on the Pro. For one thing, even something as simple as playing a 1080p video on the iMac wreaks thermal hell and sends the fans into overdrive. My oldish (and well-liked) Macbook Pro did similar things.

But what I truly like about the Pro is its easy expandability. In fact, I wish that it had more slots! Mine are always full (and I still lack a fast flash disk card).

So I am very, very psyched about the announcements. I am hopeful that the 2018 offerings are not outrageously priced.

Finally, as an aside, those who just can't wait until 2018 have an option. Very decent Mac Pro towers can be had used in the $1K-$2K price bracket. Maybe less if you mine Craigslist. If I were in the market for a non-laptop Mac, that's what I'd do.

Note that I am not trying to criticize non-Pro Macs. I just wanted to contrast them with the Pro, hopefully highlighting the latter's merits.
I've been writing a book on ways design can play a critical role in our lives. This reminds me of one of the stories in the book: A pilot cashes a plane because he didn't realize which decent mode he was in and 3.3 and 33 look awfully similar in the display. These things can be the difference between life and death.

Looks like you fixed it. :)
Perhaps the key here is "for decades" and "reputable ip". I do run my email from a dedicated box - but I host with hetzner. Their ip blocks might suffer from "bad neighbour" effect.

But how is such an effect not an issue? It makes it hard to "elevate" a box at home to a proper mail server, and makes it hard for new generations to host their own mail (until an ip6-only world (and probably also then) all new users will need to recycle old ips).

As for dmarc, I'm still not entirely convinced it's a great solution to smtp/spam issues. Dkim is already annoying enough if you occasionally want to send mail through/from a different smtp - like Gmail if you don't run your own webmail.

My own predictions for Hot Web Trends of 2022:

Websites will be closer to content streaming apps rather than today's downloadable text/image/media pages. You'll view text media within a container that draws the content on the server side - ensuring that the user can't copy-paste it as text. Advertising will be baked in to the displayed content with no clear way for the client to distinguish it.

UX will aim to be as unobtrusive as possible. Users will be provided few direct controls, if any, and instead apps will infer what is best at keeping the user watching.

Video and animation will be more prevalent and seamlessly integrated with text content. Boxes of mixed media side-by-side will be considered messy and confusing, instead the app will decide what is most relevant to display, and when. Scrollbars will be a relic of the past.

Search boxes will be considered poor design: who enjoys wasting time typing? Server selected content will be continuously streamed until the user shows signs of wanting to leave, at which point clickbait will appear.

Voice will be pushed as the preferred method for interacting with devices. This will be done to move the user further away from the mouse/remote/controller or any other input that can exit/turn off the app or device. Voice commands will be advertised as active, but a ToS change will allow apps to eavesdrop on the mood of the audience. Advertisers will be especially interested in this data. Commercials may be skipped by saying out loud, "skip [brand name]".

Bruce Lindbloom's Colour Site Is Gone
It's the right idea to consider the concept of IoT as an Internet of Shit because, even if the devices function flawlessly, device functionality is not always crafted in the best interests of the end-user.

Even if the device is well-designed and doesn't malfunction, a device might function all-too-well, and act against the consumer who owns the object.

When you have a smart device that's smart enough to be too smart to let you freely benefit from it, everything becomes a rental at best.

If we let this happen, it could very well be a step backward from the status quo of planned obsolescence. (planned obsolescence is also a bad thing, just in case anyone needs that spelled out)

> you need to deal with them civilly regardless if you feel insulted

I strongly disagree with the assertion all customers can be dealt with "civilly" while still remaining sane. Customer irrationality is widely varied, and sometimes you just need to take matters into Fate's hands to get back to rationality. OTOH, it's not something you want to do regularly, with the customers that is.
It's not passive just because it's a side business.
