>So yeah Purism is going to skate by on yet another clear and obvious lie. They are pretty much going out of their way to take advantage of people at this point. On a side note, its really sad and pathetic how little the state of Washington is willing to do to try and compel Purism to live up to their legally mandated expectations as an SPC.

Um, what were you expecting? The State Attorney is going to view this as "someone forgot to file a form." That isn't exactly priority #1.

stop using facebook. and no, there is not a single reason for you to be there. trust me. how do you think we lived our lives before there was a facebook?
Around 2010 I did some web programming. XHTML was so much easier to parse and render from code because I could use some very powerful XML libraries. HTML is different enough from pure XML that it requires a different parser.

It was very nice to load an XML document and look for tags in a specific namespace instead of using a specialized HTML templating engine.

We will get downvoted to hell, but it is the truth: those people don't believe, don't like democracy, since they cannot convince the entire country to change or respect institutions, the minority riots.

I loved the annoying app installation prompt, the irrelevant stock ticker, and the survey nag that pushed the actual article title down below 85% of the page.

I also loved only being allowed to read the first five sentences of this article because I have not sent money to this website.

Why are people allowed to link to paywall sites on HN? How is this different from linking directly to someone’s patreon or PayPal donation page, with a clickbait title to get them there?

I demand that all WSJ links are banned from HN immediately along with the accounts that shared them. People need to learn not to do this.

Thanks for this link! I was trying to remember the predecessor to ASP while watching the Jobs video. I hoped that one of the others might have contained an ASP demo, but never realized they would be still demoing IDC. I recall the pace of change being incredibly fast, as you said.

I was experimenting with IDC for a client project at the time but quickly switched to ASP as soon as the beta became available.
I hashed together something like this in my dotfiles a few years ago. Big parts were logging each command run to my own history files (marked with machine and date), rotating those logs, and a cronjob to sync it with GitHub.

Only took a few hours to set up.
> I'm curious if anybody has practical experience developing a reasonably trafficked website in a similar manner.

YNAB's web app (YouNeedABudget.com) is architected in a similar manner, in that a lot of logic is performed in Postgres Functions. Rails is the API layer, (which lets Rails do authentication, authorization, and a number of other things that Rails does well), but many of the performance-sensitive calculations and sync algorithm are implemented as Postgres functions.

The SQL is version controlled of course, and the functions are DROPped/Redeclared when they change, so other than being written in PL/pgSQL the development experience is similar to any other deployed web app. We chose to do it not because we expect the wrapping language to change from Rails, but because our data is very relational, our calculation and sync logic is more "easily"
and accurately expressed in PL/pgSQL, and we don't have to pay a performance penalty to bring a lot of data across the wire to Ruby, run logic on it, and then ship a lot of data back to the database.

I'm not advocating this as an approach for most web apps, but it's well worked for us. It's important to get your tooling right from the get-go so that the development experience is a good one.

> I've been considering moving some things directly into the database, but I'm nervous about it because the app runs well and I like the data/logic division. Also go seems easier to learn for new developers than SQL, and it's a lot easier to deploy a new app server than it is to reconfigure a database server.

Those are really valid concerns! It's difficult to find developers who are comfortable with _advanced_ SQL, so I believe that is especially true for new developers as you point out. I think it's easier to reason about higher level languages like Go than it is to perform advanced logic in a declarative language like SQL, but at least PL/PGSQL makes that easier with constructs like loops, "if" statements, etc. Although I don't regret the decision in this case, I would have to be presented with a _very_ similar problem to architect a future web app the same way. Otherwise, I'd stick with a language/framework the team is more comfortable with.
Yep, I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying here :)
>Most Disney films are not based on fairy tales.

Most, maybe now-a-days.

They sure milked the premise during the early days.[0]

My biggest 'Disney problem' is their abusive use of copyright, and the fact that they got away with it largely due to the use of Disney material as pro-National propaganda.[1]

Yes, which is why I want them to keep having access to cheap reliable energy so they can build their way out of poverty.

It's exactly not black and white which is my whole point. There are good sides and bad sides to everything we do.

The alternative for the people at Foxconn is far worse, just like the alternative to not using fossil fuels is far worse for all humans whether living in developed or developing countries.

Anyway, I have lost 30 karma points even having this discussion so this will be my last comment on this.
I like the idea, yeah. Virtual machines running in Xen hypervisors can be very small because they can make a lot of assumptions about the "hardware" they are running on. And as a negative example, every Android ROM has to be compiled and distributed separately for each model of phone it supports, because ARM platforms don't have a BIOS layer so they can't generalize.

Google is busily collecting all the world's money in advertising profits while everyone tells themselves they have an individual immunity.

Advertising is generally an attack on subconscious cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are famously nearly undetectable by the user of the brain even if they are aware of the bias, and, just as famously, brain users find themselves fully convinced that the bias must not be present if they cannot detect it.

We have all the knowledge to tell us that we are very unlikely to be an exception, that we are almost certainly being personally manipulated by advertising, and yet our experience so powerfully tells us that we are immune that we simply don't believe it.

They fingerprint your browser, IP address and usage history. I can bring back my entire YouTube recommendations (many completely unrelated subjects) even in a private browsing window by watching just one or two videos (I guess it isn't sure at first whether I'm the same person or someone else, but one or two videos, combined with IP address is enough for them to be reasonably confident it's me and bring back my previous recommendations).

So she had a phrase there "you understood the consequences [of 1 degree of temperature rise]". Am I missing something? What _are_ the consequences? Record breaking prosperity worldwide? Best I can tell there's no tangible negative impact on the homo sapiens so far, but there _is_ very much a tangible positive impact. I'm not saying we're not on a dangerous trajectory, don't get me wrong, but if you're honest, you have to also consider the consequences of _not_ using all those fossil fuels, especially 20-30 years ago when tech to replace them simply wasn't available.
I've done this, and it isn't great. It's not quite the "vacation" type experience you'd think it is.

You still have to do work. So yes, you can fly to Hawaii for two weeks, pay for flights, hotel bills, meals, none of which are reimbursed because these are not corporate expenses we're talking about.

And then you stay in the hotel or somewhere else plugged in for a long time to do the actual work they are paying you for.

And then maybe go do something in Hawaii for a few hours.
Coming up with better terms for "tech debt" seems like a good exercise. Here are some:

Improving the flexibility of our code base.

Investing in future execution speed.

Performing final cleanup tasks on the previous round of features.

Also, when a report comes and asks for time for "refactoring," I ask them what they want to improve. Having a particular goal or target area for the refactor makes it more successful, and has the side benefit of making it easier to communicate the benefits to the rest of the company.

When I was younger (~18 yo), I always dreamed of leaving my small central European country and moving to the States, Canada, or somewhere in Australia. I couldn't imagine staying at home. It simply wasn't exciting enough and I didn't see my future here.

My buddy and I used to hype ourselves up and talk about our future plans, which country we'd move to, in which ways we'd survive (our brightest idea at the time was driving cabs in Sydney, haha).

A couple of years later we started doing web development and got our first gigs. Now that we had some cash in our hands, we decided to — for a start — move to Berlin.

My buddy moved right away and got a job in local startup. I followed him a month later and had a remote US based client. I arrived in January. It was quite cold, often raining, and all around kind of depressing. I didn't know anyone and lived in a small apartment with a bunch of hippy roommates I didn't vibe with. Since I worked remotely I didn't have any coworkers to hang out with. I ended up renting an overpriced desk in a hipster co-working place where everyone kept to themselves and pretended to work. After a month I started getting depressed and it affected my work, so I bought a one-way ticket and moved back to my home country.

Shortly after moving back, I finally found my flow. I co-created a passion project with another friend (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8547351), started increasing my contracting rates, found higher quality clients, etc. I rented a small apartment in the city centre, hung out with friends and family, and basically loved my life (still do!). When I wanted some excitement and a change of scenery, I would jump on a plane and do a road trip abroad.

My buddy who didn't work remotely stayed in Berlin, made friends with some of his co-workers, expanded his social circle, and all in all had a great time. He then proceeded to get married, moved to San Francisco, worked at a FAANG-like corp, got divorced, and in the end moved back to the home country as well. Not (entirely) because of the divorce, but because he craved real friendship which he couldn't find in SF.

I guess the point of this story is... Being lonely sucks and having friends and family close is important? Yeah.
I was looking at this for a similar use case https://bit.dev/
I keep getting countdowns from 8 or 15 to 1 [or partway there], and then "onclose", with the UI saying "Lost connection to server, please try again in a bit". For variety now and then I get a 502 somewhere in websocket setup.

When it is counting down, it takes 100+% CPU.

The sample render looks really cool, though. Nice project; thanks for sharing it.
Exactly. We've gotten to the point where even due- process is punishment.
Did you read the article? it talked about having 1000 people willing to give you $100 a year in profits in book sales, concerts, merchandise, etc

For a youtuber that might be 1000 people paying $8-$9 a month on patreon.

If you have a million subscribers but don’t have that, then by definition you don’t have 1000 true fans.

People read and listen to lots of people and things, but only deeply, deeply care about a fraction of them. That’s a true fan.

That is one issue with the article: it glosses over the difficulty in acquiring a ‘true’ fan. But, it does show that it isn’t some unfathomable number. Thus better to optimize for being loved by some rather than gathering mild interest from many.
Humbly disagree with your last conclusion. While I agree about wanting a private+quite space. The real demand is for a solution that pleases everyone. Open and noisy floors with free beer,glass divided spaces, sound proofed spaces,secure access controlled rooms,etc... Being able to arrange desired environment at desired scale is the real value.

If you have 20 team members with 5 remote and you work on extremely sensitive/confidential stuff. Maybe you have 8 devs that need to work in a quite space out of which half prefer free beer and an open relaxing area to take a break. Maybe you need a very secure meeting room that are friendly to having all your remote workers and on site staff easily book a time and collaborate. Maybe you have creative people and managers that want easy access to them and you want it to resemble an open space. If a company can rent empty floors on office buildings and deploy desired configurations for multiple tenants... I think that's the real "WeWork" demand. Imagine if a remote worker wants to come into the office for a few weeks and wants a privacy friendly quiet office, "WeWork" would deploy that space on the same floor othet your other staff (or as close as possible) for those few weeks,after that the space would be reclaimed for use by any other tenant. You can even upsell different room configurations and designs. Heck,if it was me I would even offer converted shipping containers ,doesn't matter so long as I can make the office space config look and feel identical.
A general rise in the price level is what inflation means and what it's always meant. Even under the quantity theory of money there isn't a one-to-one correspondence between prices and the money supply, because the velocity of money has changed. The Fed and the BoE tried targeting the money supply in the early 80s, and they were unable to control the inflation rate because the velocity jumped around.

We haven't seen hyperinflation in equities or real estate. Both are below their historical highs. Anyway, it's not "inflation" it's an asset bubble -- prices are too high given underlying cash flows. And if investors are so incompetent at investing that an increase in the money supply makes them immediately blow it at the casino, that's a strong argument that we can't trust markets to invest. The Austrian argument leads inexorably to an anti-Austrian conclusion. (I'm not convinced, but I'm not the one who thinks there's necessarily an asset bubble.)

Nobody thinks CPI is automatically the best guess of inflation -- it's just one attempt. Everyone knows that prices don't all go and up and down together, and we have to use a proxy. Anyway, the Fed doesn't use CPI. They use PCE deflator, and they only consider goods where price changes are more persistent (so called "core inflation").

The vast majority of fiat currencies have not experienced hyperinflation so far. In contrast, all gold standard currencies have gone off the gold standard, so the historical evidence points strongly towards fiat, not against.

Unless it changed very recently be aware that you can't update sql definition of a materialized as easily as you would update a view. There is currently no "CREATE OR REPLACE" option so any dependencie build onto a materialized view can quickly become a real pain (been there). Sometime, it might be easier to stick to the old trick of a table updated by a refresher function (possibly called as a trigger).
Looks way better! Anyway had fun playing this and did not yet manage to win hehe... Keep it up!
Please don’t keep us in the dark, then. Enlighten us with your secret knowledge, instead of giving us your conclusions of what you think everyone should do.
> I don't think that's been conclusively shown.

That would be interesting to study. We'll do it for Java pretty soon, I guess.

> After all, even if you make stack growth fast, it's hard to compete with a system that has no stack growth at all!

If the same Rust workload were to run on such a system there wouldn't be stack growth, either. The stack would stay at whatever size Rust now uses to store the async fn's state.

> a tremendous amount of work in the Linux kernel

I don't think any work in the kernel would have been required.

> Ultimately, the choice was clear.

I agree the choice is pretty clear for the "zero-cost abstractions" approach, and that Rust should follow it given its target domains. But for domains where the "zero-cost use" approach makes more sense, the increase in accidental complexity is probably not worth some gain in worst-case latency. But that's always the tradeoff the two approaches make.
As a young person working remotely, I just realized the value of that this week; breaking up my workday at the climbing gym has helped me feel less isolated. I enjoy my solitude, but I still need to socialize during work hours somehow. While there aren’t many people at my climbing gym around noon, those who are there also seem open to chatting or being a climbing partner.

There is also a cafe upstairs which is convenient for lunch and the second half of the workday.
Breaking Bread: The dark and white flours of ideology
The only real piece of advice I have for changing those things is committing to it. Losing weight is a good place to start, it has easily observable results and you can go at your own pace. I lost 20kg in 6mo when I started travelling, it was my first "change my life" goal and it made it a lot easier to start on other things that I hoped would be beneficial for me long-term - like finally starting on getting my teeth fixed despite my fear of dentists.

Finding the first win helps a ton. :)
If replicated and properly check-summed that half life could be extended by many orders of magnitude.
The better system is what DHL is doing with their Packstationen in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation

Basically it's like a vending machine for packages. You address your parcel to one of these and the package deliverer will deposit them into a locker there. I then get a code by e-mail which I can use to open the locker whenever I get around to the Packstation. It's really nice for people who work during the day and thus have a hard time getting to the pickup shops during business hours. The only downside is that it only works for small to medium-sized packages, but those are the bulk anyway.
Anyone remember Neo900? That was the last project I saw that actually had some potential of being made into a working phone supporting its own OS. I threw them 100EUR for a device that was anticipated to balloon to 1000EUR in cost.

Why did I believe it was possible? They had a base to work on with the N900. Ultimately, hardware is hard and it never shipped. I don't regret plunking down as it was an attempt in the right direction, I see it as support for projects like that. The people running the project were at least transparent about delays and problems. They never said the deposits weren't a 'risk-buy'.

I can't tell you how many people came to me and were like 'hur durr, just buy the librem 5, it's a real FOSS phone that's going to ship'. Yes... soon.

The Purism can join the textblade as hardware projects that will ship soon. Don't let anyone tell you hardware is easy, it's not. Pebble went under with a device that's a lot more simple.
The interesting kind of technical debt is when you realize you modeled the problem wrong, or the problem has changed and you need to change the model. A simple example is an auth system that assumes a one-to-one correspondence between account and user login. Then you get, for examples, agencies that are conceptually one account but have multiple logins (so each client can only see their own account). Oops, that breaks the model. Changing this requires database migration, code changes, UX changes, and so on. It's a conceptually simple change but has wide implications.

I’m surprised that a pretty vanilla comment got so much hate, it’s hard to please everyone!
As for the “fantastic four” solution, you don’t prevent that- as long as it’s actually distributed and available to interested parties for consumption. Creating and distributing a “keep the IP alive” production is still a significantly higher barrier then we have today.

As for the US abandoning the Berne convention- it was ratified by the senate, so the President, even this reality tv drama of an administration, can’t just drop out (unless their is some detail of the ratification instrument I’m unaware of.) I thankfully still believe there is enough left of the constitutional apparatus that there remain some bounds on Presidential power, even when the president might be doing what I want.
