All of these should come with the disclaimer that your use case among other things will determine how much your mileage varies. For instance, when I benchmarked (wrk) my json utilizing API with a payload size of 145-200 bytes + a minimal header it came out ahead of GRPC with protobufs. I was getting ~180,000 requests per second with serialization & deserialization on my laptop (Thinkpad T25). You're already saturating a 1gbps connection at 1/3 of that output but when you think of the extra leeway for processing that you have, not to mention the smaller size box you can run it on it's pretty nice.

This wasn't in java, the environments themselves are different, the code is different, the benchmarking tool is different, etc, etc so maybe it's not applicable but it still stands that you should investigate whether it will really be worth it or not to invest in the tech if you optimize elsewhere. I mean, I've tried similar things with python and have only gotten 20-40k rps across various frameworks.

Please take everything above with a grain of salt and do your own research.
it definitely is/was not profitable. you need a vast subscriber base to make economies of scale become useful
That would actually be a valuable service.

Many users don't know where or how or what to put in a bug report.

If some had a site that you could just write free-form prose others more experienced could convert that to actionable bug reports.
Yeah, I think they’re all fighting over the same 100 people and ignoring tens of thousands of “leftovers”.
I thank you for your list and I find it very helpful for my own personal job search at this moment.
You are right to defend yourself against what you perceive as raining on your parade.
But I would also caution you to pause before responding to apparent criticism and try to see the situation from their point of view.
It is this "empathizing" that is so difficult for people on the autism spectrum, but we have to develop it in order to survive in this world.
What was David's education and career before entering Lambda School? What languages or frameworks does he use now for his job? Are any of the graduates working remotely or do most SW jobs require going to a daily office?
Someone mentioned GTK3's Broadway backend in another comment.

Try this (the two mentioned commands come with the gtk3 package):

- In one terminal, run 'broadwayd'

- In another terminal, run 'GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:0 gtk3-demo'

- In _your Web browser_, go to http://localhost:8080/

- Reattach jaw

No, it's great, it's like having a cheap, legal, safe drug that can be used as a downer or upper, and more.
I think it also protects against people injecting content into the stream such as with the (possibly acryphorial, but IMO hilarious) goatse attack at Defcon 12[0]. Yes, people can still impersonate the AP, but that attack takes a little more effort and hardware.

Historically monopoly’s show up in many market which seems like a strong counter argument. Companies like Intel have intentionally avoided becoming a full monopoly due to regulations, but economies of scale end up being a huge advantage.

Things I know about WPA3...

- I can install/upgrade some packages on my OpenWrt router/computers to enable it.

- I can leave a WPA2 SSID for my old gadgets.

> By the time the average person upgrades all their gear to WPA3 stuff, it'll be cracked and we'll be on WPA5.

Perhaps vendors can implement a WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode? Or just use the dual SSID hack...
:). That's a positive way to look at it.
Nothing wrong about it per se. Just don't try to mask it as or "soften" the principles of science.
Indeed, and you don't need to start with a half-tanker, especially if you are not aiming for an ice age. You can start with a half-bucket and work your way up to a half-kayak, half-fishing-boat, maybe half-trawler.

Oh, wait. Some guy did just that in 2012 [1]. Some people claim it was an absolute success, while some others claim that more studies are needed (but they are not willing to fund them!), or we should not play with the only planet we have, etc, etc.

How to get out of academics after tenure?
I teach math and statistics at a small college and have been trying to get out of academics for years. I have skills (statistics, machine learning/data science, software development) that ought to be attractive to employers, but I think that my age (mid-40s) and time as an academic are immediate turn-offs when I submit resumes. I live in a rural area, at least an hour from a city of reasonable size, which probably complicates things as well. After literally hundreds of resume submissions for data science and software developer jobs, I have only had a few interviews and no job offers. Advice?
Yes, pretty much the only places in America that you can survive without a car are New York and San Francisco, but who can afford the rents?
I lived in Honolulu for several years and took the bus to work there, but it worked because I had a reverse commute and because the island is small and the ocean prevents expansion in several directions, the bus routes pretty much only run in two directions, which makes commuting possible, whereas in Chicago you would probably have to take a bus and then a train and then change trains to get to work and that would add up to about two hours commute each way each day - a deal breaker for me.
He looks fine to me. I don't think he's stressed, if anything I'd say it's like how he shared his view on AI. Before he was stressed and concerned, and now he feels like if it happens it happens. You put in your work, do what you can, and own who you are.

I found it highly inspiring and really admire the candor without a fake personality.

Why do we have to "act" in society even as CEO's? Be human, and do your best.
A better question is "What jobs can blind people do?"
Interesting. I would not have thought that competing contracts would have been an issue (and I guess intel didn't either). Many thanks for the insight.
It's still depending on people to build, finance and upkeep it. Imagine a Mars rover building and maintaining these in remote wadis on its own.
No surprise to see a number of weather apps on here. Seems to be such an incredibly scummy category.

The built in Apple app is fine for basic information. There are plenty of high-quality third-party apps. Weather Line (my fav) is $2. DarkSky is $4.

Instead people go for these weird free apps covered in ads with terrible UIs. The NOAA one isn’t made by the government, seems like using that name should be some kind of copyright infringement.

Of course WeatherBug on desktops was adware/malware for a very long time. Maybe it still is.

Then you get scareware stuff like the earthquake notification app. You better let us track everything you do otherwise you might die!

There are so many good apps on the store made by good developers. It’s amazing how much better your experience is if you just avoid free apps when possible.

Of course some of these apps, like the ones that you NEED to use for certain parking meters, are especially evil because there is an any choice. If you need that service, you’re giving up your privacy.

I wish Apple would crack down on this stuff. I imagine a lot of these apps are doing things that already violate the App Store guidelines. If they don’t, they probably SHOULD.
Most jobs in the states ask if you own a car because if you don't then the likelihood is that you will either be late for work because of unreliable public transportation, or you would miss work because the person who is giving you a ride can't do it every day.
So if you don't have a vehicle, you simply aren't hired because they predict you'll cause them problems.
There are two parts to a synchronous design - the combinatorial bits, and the flip-flops.

/----\ |-----|

I think what he's getting at is that any combinational logic that goes in a register is defined in one place - he's not doing complex statements.

It sounds like he's doing a very (terse) RTL style. This makes it very clear what your synthesizer will do with it - he isn't trying to be clever on the RTL front.

We should email him and ask!
I feel like we could just be overthinking it. They probably waited to capture enough evidence to come back with if this blows back on them.
Yes, this is basically where we are at today. Apparently we are to hold every rich person to some esoteric standard because every wealthy person made their money by exploiting others; none of them were positive-sum contributors to society.

And when someone donates a lot of money, we just say they are buying PR and have calculated the ROI like the terrible capitalist they are, with zero evidence at all this is the case.
Are there no taxis in Singapore?
Where could one learn quartenion math?

For educational purposes, I want to generate a 3d rotating cube on the screen without any help from 3d kits like OpenGL and etc (I want to learn all the math there is to do this without any help, only rastering).

Thanks in advance.
Does the App Store for either iOS or macOS give any indication whether or not an application is open source?

I know that is not at all a guarantee that an app would be more respectful of the user's privacy, but I'd bet that it would save a chunk of guesswork.
Numberphile's explanation of Quaternions is the simplest I have seen so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BR8tK-LuB0

Quaternions are very important to know if you are doing any kind of 3D math. For instance, game programming or SLAM for robotics.
If you're using something like OpenWRT, you most likely don't need to buy new hardware.

The WPA3 functionality is already added to hostapd and wpa_supplicant [1]. Look for the terms SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), DPP (Device Provisioning Protocol) and OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption).

The current experimental wpa_supplicant Debian package has this enabled [2]. I think the main challenge is upgrading clients, especially when vendors no longer provide updates.

[1] https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/log/?qt=grep&q=SAE

[2] https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wpa/news/20180722T152029Z.h...
This is a good point but how certain are you that WPA3 can’t be shipped as a software upgrade? At least Eero appears to be claiming that will happen and I’d be surprised if they were the only ones because the vendors also know that upgrade curves are glacial if it requires new hardware.

I do think we’re going to see more mixed networking with modern access points supporting multiple networks so you can have your primary devices stay secure while the botnets controlling your IoT fridge and TV duke it out on a different SSID.
See parent. I was addressing a personal attack in that post with copypasta.
In one place I have 225 down, 6.5 up. Annoying as hell trying to upload a 4K video to YouTube, or scp it somewhere.
Yes it make sense but i think if you provide rough breakdown example then user would be more likely to trust this data. For example see how yelp.com considers place is $,$$,$$$ or $$$$. They provided explanation so user would know what to expect.
This is fantastic. I created something like this for internal development [0], but this looks like an actual product! Great work.

I'm not a fan of Alex Jones, I barely know who he is, but all this banning seems a bit risky to me. Hosting companies have generally had "Safe Harbor" protection against liability for content that third parties post on their platforms. However if they actively start policing and censoring content, they're more involved, and might now be more liable in other claims of offensive or defamatory content.

What is wrong with Intel...Haven't seen this level of inaction from a major firm for a while.
I'd be totally willing to answer any specific questions. Not sure if I have the free time or motivation to write a full guide to network engineering, the best I can really do is point people at the right reference sources. I'm honestly not nearly as qualified to do so anyways, compared to far more senior people who work for huge transit ASNs.
The data has been mapped and correlated over the years along with IP's. On many ISPs, the ip is fairly static. May not be the ISP's. Fill out a web form to buy something and now that ip->location is linked, use a cell phone app that collects the SSID's and location and ip...
If we consider a timeframe of more than just this year, then you have even less of a case that media coverage has been engineered toward negativity by ulterior forces. Tesla itself brags in its annual reports that it doesn't need to have an ad budget because of the positive media coverage it gets:

https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-admits-media-coverage-...

> "Historically, we have been able to generate significant media coverage of our company and our vehicles, and we believe we will continue to do so," the company wrote. "To date, for vehicle sales, media coverage and word of mouth have been the primary drivers of our sales leads and have helped us achieve sales without traditional advertising and at relatively low marketing costs."

> Tesla has included those sentences or a variation on them in each of its annual SEC filings dating back to its 2010 initial public offering.
But Intel has been dropping the ball over and over again lately. Some customers might take something like what's reported here as the last straw.
No, not that I’m aware of. And I think that would be meaningless to 99.8% of users. It’s not like you can filter your searches anyway.

If people DID start thinking of it as some kind of sealer quality, unscrupulous actors would simply open source their apps and leave all the garbage in. So it would become meaningless.
I was trading while I was still at work doing my real job, so I wasn't putting 100% of my attention to it.

3.3% daily (if you could consistently make a profit) is a very good return, think about how fast that compounds. Most savings accounts aren't even 3.3% per annum.
IIRC, sciter isn't a free (libre) software, right? That might be a problem for some applications.
Are you suggesting visuals of any kind do not create an emotional reaction for you? I'm not sure what the point of your comment is otherwise.

Would painting a room bright pink be no different to you than painting it black? Does looking at roadkill or a corpse feel absolutely no different to you than viewing something most would consider calming like a sunset, flowers or someone who you consider to be beautiful? If you do feel different, then yes, light reflecting off of objects does create an emotional reaction to you.
You will need more than quaternions to get a rotating cube working without OpenGL. You would need some kind of basic lighting for this to work.

If you really want to build a 3d engine from scratch without OpenGL, I suggest checking this book out. It was written in the mid 90s and explains how to write a simple 3d engine in DOS.

It doesn’t.

Yeah I'm not 100% sure what the difference is, I'd love an elaboration. The languages you program FPGAs in typically are in the class of hardware description languages (HDLs) - and IMO description and definition are interchangeable in this context.
Sometimes I want to see how a piece of code work, I can just run the unit test. Otherwise, I may need to start the server, prepare some unrelated data, send a request to the server.

I'm not sure if it's the same on FreeBSD, but as a longtime former Mac user who now uses Linux, I've found you need to

1. set MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=true to get per-pixel scrolling

2. disable smooth scrolling, either completely in preferences, or just for mousewheel by settings general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel to false in about:config

Yes. It cannot be emphasized enough. Go pay for apps that are good.
Try to find the papers from Ken Shoemake. He has an article in the book Graphics Gems IV ( ArcBall, Section III.1 ).

A long time ago I wrote a STL viewer that utilizes quaternions to compute the model rotations using what I learnt from those papers.

Warning: Very UGLY code, so be easy on me( win32 cross compiled on Linux, ugh! ).
They don’t allow porn in the App Store among other things. He says “everyone is trying to stop him from telling the truth”. Maybe banning him for his actions helped prove his point, but I doubt it gave him more legitimacy than the fact the Trump called-in to his show. I personally think there’s a fine balance between normalizing these people by providing a platform and encouraging free-speech.

They didn’t ban him for promoting a questionable grasp on reality, they seem to have banned him for sharing content of him harassing people or sharing hate speech. Maybe all of these platforms should have a filter that users can disable if they want to see it?
I don’t know you. To me you’re just a random person on HN. Why would I care about “taking you down” and how did a submission about someone else’s problem become a conversation about you?
While generally true, I've also found free apps are usually decent and not-scummy if they're open source.
I agree on all points except that the most worrying thing is the entry of Mercedes, BMW etc. First of all, GM and BMW have sunk a lot of money in electric cars that are on the market and being crushed by Tesla in sales. Second, and most importantly, car brands are incredibly valuable.

People said that the Prius would go away when other car makers started making hybrids. After years of competition, the Prius still dominates. Why? Because the economic reasons for owning a hybrid really aren't that compelling. The social signaling reasons are. So, if you want to say those things about yourself you own a Prius because everyone knows you are driving a hybrid at a glance. A Tesla makes a different-- but I would argue equally powerful-- statement to all who behold it. If Tesla goes into bankruptcy the brand and the cars will be revived.
I have also been a long-time ag user (including submitting some patches) and transitioned to rg with little effort. Both tools are great and I use them more or less interchangeably.
This isn't about legal liability (which is what safe harbor refers to) it's about Apple's ToS.

TFA says app store guidelines say apps that are "defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way" are rejected.

"Holding contributors to a standard" is not legally risky just like HN removing comments that are against the rules is not legally risky.

Apple seems to have made it clear they don't want to be a dumpster.

Ask HN: Options for hosted public API service?
I'm exploring options for a public API service. I was going to with Firebase because I heard I could create a public API there, but after some research it requires a public key to use the API.

I'm looking for a platform or service where I can host my API endpoint that doesn't require the user to use any authentication tokens.

Currently all I'm really aware of is Huroku and Digital Ocean. Any other good options out there I should take a look at to weigh my pros and cons?
