"which requires an inexhaustible supply. "

But this is how you can stress the theorem. I know it will take a long time, so consider a universe where only 1000 bits of matter actually exist, then try to use the theorem and you won't have enough ink to even hold the theorem, and sets in memory. It's the same for our universe, just with more bits.

Thanks, for responding. Do you mean axioms? I don't understand why that would be a solution. I'll have to read Godel again.
Not to be flippant, but so is alcohol usage, should we encourage students to drink at school?

Smartphone applications are designed to be addictive and have demonstrably negative effects upon the mental health of adolescents. Their usage should be vigorously discouraged by anyone who cares about the mental health of school students.
I don't get the sense that people in Sweden or Germany feel over-burdened by a lack of liberty.

> a la carte is always significantly more expensive

True, but clearly not the case with most TV shows. It's not an a la carte premium. It's either targeting a niche market like collectors, or there's just no attempt to set a market price whatsoever as the example here demonstrates: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21682892

This post has some great points about remote work that make sense based on what I've learned from speaking with remote workers
. I would love to find a remote engineering job but I have run into 2 obstacles:

First, I believe some remote companies like to see some remote experience to know that you can be successful on a distributed team. This is a tough catch-22! I have asked my manager at my normal office job for opportunities to work remotely 1/5 days but I am not sure if this is adequate experience.

Second, it is much harder to find remote work for embedded/hardware engineering (my background). Obviously it is different when actual hardware is involved as it is more convenient to be in the same physical location, but the advantages of a remote hardware team should be the same as a remote software team!

If anyone knows of remote friendly hardware companies I would love to know!
Yep, just like these school-shooter drills, training children to be afraid of boogie men in hopes that they'll vote accordingly once they turn 18.
What kind of argument is that, its not a race to the bottom...
> you're also grossly overestimating the occurrence

The bodycount might not be "spectacular" but the rate of school shootings in the U.S. dwarfs other developed countries. Fatalities 200+ so far. At any rate, you don't know what they were 'estimating' exactly.

> The vast majority of shootings are between criminal gangs - making the guns illegal will not magically make criminals into upstanding citizens.

Criminals retrieve their weapons through underground networks. School shooters do not. They're just students. They've either grabbed what was lying around at home or bought them. Such that, accessibility to school shooters is hampered were it the case that legal distribution were more restricted.

Add to the fact, circulation of guns in the underground is only possible and bloated because of the sheet number of legal guns.
So a car is not considered personal property if it’s parked on the street? I thought me taking someone else’s property is illegal, isn’t it? Say I swiped your wallet, it’s obviously not locked in your pocket and you are on the street next to your car. Will I be prosecuted or not?

Why wouldn't it be? Humans have infinite wants and needs. These change overtime in terms of taste/perception as well. So the counter point should be made as to how this isn't the case and that a "growing pie" is actually against human nature.
Hm, you're probably right. Not sure though if it looks like linear returns when you choose the timeslot short enough.
I am not so sure that dense areas need fewer taxes. Some of the most heavily taxes areas are dense cities.
I mean, since you bring it up, there's some evidence that the abstinence-until-21 system the US uses for alcohol does it no favors. It means that instead of being able to learn responsible drinking at home or while younger, America's youth may legally start drinking in college and sort of make up a responsible drinking culture as they go along.

Well, to be fair, I feel like I know a little about how computers work and the internet started, but I didn't know all these names off the top of my head either. (To be fair, one rang a bell)

I think it's a very different thing to know how something works than who put it together. These days there are so many important software projects, and a lot of people working on each. It's nearly impossible to keep track of. Personally, I think how it works is much more useful than who wrote it originally, especially since these days, most software projects of note have a fair number of contributors.
Definitely the second one. The sad thing is that there are investors/consumers out there who give bonus points to companies who go through this arbitrary stuff
I would have no idea who they were if not for stumbling across one of bryan cantrills early talks by clicking random videos on youtube, watched all his talks that I can find since then.

It is not very well known but the Apollo Guidance Computer had this same capability! The famous program alarms (1202 and 1201) during the Apollo 11 descent were caused by low-priority jobs stealing processing power from the high priority ones. The operating system was designed to just restart the computer in those cases (this would kill the low priority jobs) and continue execution from where it left off:

> The software rebooted and reinitialized the computer, and then restarted selected programs at a point in their execution flow near where they had been when the restart occurred.

I don't think it is purely a TSMC supply issue. To put it bluntly; AMD isn't used to selling that many CPUs. Zen 1/+ brought them parity with intel performance-wise (something AMD has been laking for over a decade). It's only with Zen 2/ the 3000 series that AMD has had both core-count and single-threaded. Before you had to choose between lots of slower cores or fewer/ faster cores.

I do wonder if the 3900x/ 3950x shortage is at least partially manufactured (they're so hard to get they must be good right?). Intel halved their prices pre-lunch which is something that has never happened before, but they still can't match AMD for price/ performance.

AMD has both good CPUs & GPUs (something that is very rare!). Being an owner of an RX 5700, I'm surprised how low the power usage is. If they put a cut-down RX 5000 on a low-power CPU, they could make some decent laptops that don't need dedicated GPUs (memory speed is a bottle-neck especially on a laptop with a single memory channel). That could pose a problem for Intel. I'm actually a little surprised it hasn't been more of a priority for AMD, all Intel can do to compete right now is to literally give their CPU/ APUs away (better to make a loss than lose a customer to AMD). Next year will be a good time to buy a laptop. It looks as though Zen 3 will first launch on laptops, that may pose a problem for Intel...

I apologize if this is a silly question, but what exactly does "computer company" mean? I read the link. I see "oxide computer" which makes me think, oh is this one of those newfangled oxide transistor but I clicked a few links like oxide computer principles of operation hoping to get an idea of what this is but instead I see some stuff about candor, empathy which is not what I thought principles meant in this context. I looked through the comments hoping to see someone explain it but no win there. Oh well. I'm sure someone will explain it.
Let's not over-dramatize what these are. They're remote-controlled vehicles with a bit of pathfinding and modular add-ons. The fact they walk rather than roll is a triumph of software engineering, but it doesn't make them into droids off Star Wars.

Moxie: Incremental Declarative UI in Rust
The idea that Thorium reactors cannot make weapons is a persistent myth propagated by an overenthusastic group of non-expert internet thorium proponents. It is part of a wider (and in my opinion misguided) scheme led by Kirk Sorensen to rebrand advanced nuclear as "Thorium". Thorium reactors necessarily breed Uranium 233, which is a phenomenal weapons material. In fact, in 1994, the USA declassified a memo from the country's top weapons designers that you can now read for yourself here [1].

[1] https://www.osti.gov/biblio/79078-fGfEfw/webviewable/

Key quote from the weapons folks is: "If the existing weapons were based on uranium-233 instead of plutonium-239, Livermore would not be interested in switching to plutonium."

Yea I don’t understand how urban activists can claim “induced demand” when discussing road supply but joy housing supply. There’s no obligation for any town or city to keep growing and accommodate continued population increases. That doesn’t serve the incumbent population, which is why those populations have chosen to enact zoning laws in the first place.
I think interface{} is a great feature, when you want to write code that safely handles any type. fmt.Printf is a great example for this. As type information is attached with the value, type safety is fully maintained when casting the contained value back to its right type.

Where it is appropriate, it is a very cool thing that you can have fully dynamically typed variables with all safeties in place. Of course, it shouldn't be used in place of better abstractions, like specific interfaces or properly factored code.
So, first thing I see is a Public Health crisis.

The medical profession is cripplingly dependent on trust. Decreased faith in the goodwill of medical practitioners may lead to people not doing things that have major impacts non overall public health, like getting immunizations.

I'd expect a potential rise in suicide rates due to mental problems becoming more prevalent; if not because of escalating paranoia due to "don't get hurt, you can't afford the medical costs", then due to the over-time integration of the assumption of not having any societal value assigned to some injury being fixed. I think this is an oft overlooked aspect of the social experience of having a problem. There are many who look at people with medical issues that are dismissive that it must somehow be all that person's own fault. While the argument can be made in some cases, in the case where you can't afford medical treatment, the message is sent that your (the injured party's) suffering doesn't matter at a social level unless somehow you can demonstrate you can produce X amount of worth where that worth becomes at least strongly correlated to some significant fraction of whatever the Medical Industrial Complex decides.

It is funny, because I'm reminded of the story Erehwon, where physical ailment vs. Social ailment was flipped around in how it was handled. If you had a chest congestion, you'd be locked away in a prison, away from everyone else, but moral failings like stealing things were not crimes, but things treated as being in need of slight adjustment. The argument put forth against "Doctoring/Medicine" in the story is that eventually, a medical Doctor would accrue too much power over too many people's lives. It seemed ridiculous to meat the time; but as I look at what we have now, I see echoes of it.

If you can't afford to exist in the system, you are cast aside. Can you receive treatment? Yes. Will you financially weather that storm without the advantages of full-time representation, negotiation, and legal counsel? No.

"First, do no harm" means something; and harm comes in many forms nowadays. I know not where the capacity for ruinous financial inflation is being introduced; the exorbitant costs of medical schooling, the production and certification of medical equipment/research, administrative overhead and profit skimming; but it needs to be addressed and evaluated at each point.

Prescription drugs are a start, but the entire infrastructure needs an audit and readjustment in my opinion to bring it back within some semblance of sane operating parameters.

As an attacker who wants to go unnoticed a knife is the better option. As a defender, who wants to stop an attacker, your best bet is a gun, since you don't have to get close.
Maybe the approach is the more people watch, the more they talk about the (Netflix exclusive) shows with others who don't have Netflix and they hopefully buy in?
I feel like they could incorporate a lot from https://www.openstack.org/ for the software side.
The tesla patent free offer is a trojan horse though. To use tesla's charging port you have to agree to not sue them over patents not just regarding charging but everything. You also don't get access to the supercharger network at any price. No sane manufacturer is going to agree to terms that one sided.

Once things settle down a bit I'm pretty confident each region will regulate a charging standard and eliminate the confusion, but it's still too early since vehicle to grid has hardly been touched outside of Japan and actively cooled cables are not part of any spec.
Ask HN: A client project is getting momentum, I need infrastructure advices
Hello,

First off, I am by no means an infrastructure or devops guys, I'm a senior nodejs freelance, so some of this is new to me

This is the current infrastructur:e

- A nginx reverse proxy in front of the nodejs API VPS

- A 24 vCPU, 128 GB VPS

- A 64GB, 8vCPU database

- The landing page is on a Cloudflare worker

I am using PM2 to start a nodejs instance on each vCPU, so we have 24 instances of the API running behind the pm2 load balancer, itself behind the nginx reverse proxy

We're expecting around 50M-70M requests for next sunday, with most requests received around 9pm, we are expecting around 90k concurrent users

We are not using sockets, only HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT)

I am looking for infrastructure tips to make sure that the API hold the traffic

Do you have any advice or tips on how I can scale the infrastructure and make sure that the API holds this kind of traffic ?

Thank you
> At least for me, I don’t find any non religious argument a useful protection against nihilism.

You probably also define religion pretty broadly I suspect.

I could tell you that there is joy in life, beauty in the planet, happiness in relationships with our fellow humans and this is reason to live — spread love. Is that philosophy, religion (optimism?)?

The best "teachers" in my life have taught me, if nothing else, the joy of learning itself. There's no nihilism in that.
That was my question- first option seems simplest and fair. If you can write code and manually manage things that’s all on u.
wont doesn't mean can't. gotta make sure all the board members, directors, principals, and book companies cash in first otherwise were all communists it says so in this book I needed a code for it must be true.
Child of the 90s here. Schools are a whole lot safer than ever before. In my time I've witnessed drug deals, assaults, armed robbery, knife and razor fights, and was aware of rape and sexual assault. We had to bring clear backpacks and pass through magnetometers daily. And not one of us felt safer for it. All of those crimes occurred despite increased security theater. This was also a majority minority school, none of those incidents rose to even local news. I guess we weren't the right socioeconomic bracket.

> If our response to that shouldn't be cameras and backpack checks, then what's an appropriate response?

Money. This country is literally running out of teachers. We do not have enough adults in a typical school to tutor, observe, and guide students. Adults don't want to do the adulting anymore and the kids are having to learn to fend for themselves. None of these technological "solutions" are there to make kids learn or keep them safe. It is there to save some money for responsibilities the schools no longer meet.
Yeah, exorbitant. Didn't like paying $300 a year just to run some simple websites/databases
I live in a 75% democrat area (in austin) built in the 60s/70s and the NIMBYs are boomers and are bad.

The city council wants to reduce the lot size,parking, and setbacks required for duplexes and triplexes all over the city. They want to increase density for about 100 units along a transit corridor from single family to 4 units, up to 6 with affordable housing.

The nimbys are going crazy, talking about lawsuits, protests etc. Many posts talk about flooded schools, huge traffic increases, and gigantic duplexes on every lot. The reality is people can already build duplexes and they dont at a huge frequency. People have even posted articles written by NIMBYs in other cities how housing pricing doesnt follow supply and demand.

It is all about "neighborhood character". Im a hardcore conservative and believe upzoning is the best way to solve the affordability problem.
Lacking from the article are the statistics for how affordable those homes are and actual occupancy. Developers overwhelmingly love upselling to "luxury homes" that are kept as investment deeds in someones closet. NYC for example is building new apartments like bloody crazy, none of them are affordable to anyone other than investors.
No to mention each new release have many incompatibility that you need to read the release note to find out
Often times the density hawks are the newcomers, asking to be accommodated. This is true in the bay are and Seattle, for example. So I don’t think it’s fair to ask the incumbents who make up a community to leave.
Maybe. But I won't risk it.
> let the adults fix things

And when, pray tell, will that begin? I'm afraid I have to agree with the parent's overall assessment of the situation. The problems are endemic to the systems currently in place, which are self-defensive and won't be reformed without a bloody fight. We've seen how the attempts thus far have gone and in some cases they've only made things worse. I hold out hope that it is still possible to fix things, but I estimate the odds of it actually occurring as very slim.
Not quite, new phones still go for higher performance as well as stronger power saving. That's because they do need to consume high end media - decode and encode high resolution video, perhaps play games, run complex algorithms to handle camera pictures. This has some obvious limits but we're not close to them.

The most power hungry component is the display... The technology there has not kept up, in fact they grow bigger and consume more power.
It's interesting that Boomers are the latest scapegoat for all the world's ills. Last year it was the Russians. Oddly the Russians were also the fault of all that was wrong from 1950 to 1991, they get a lot of scapegoatry.

An older person advises a younger one that that apparently very cheap old rotted house (with years of poorly done repairs executed by a variety of amateur repairers and fly-by-night gypsy home contractors, many repairs of which exacerbated the decay) is too far gone and trying to fix it is going to be a waste of money that will lead to a loss of time and money invested. They'd be better off in the long run looking into some totally different better house, or if they must have that house and location, knocking down the rotted house and building a new one that looks like the old one but which has a coherent and efficient modern infrastructure underneath the gingerboard.

The younger person then will always say, "OK, boomer, so you think better things aren't possible. Whatever, cynical grandpa!", rolling their eyes. The old person shrugs because he expected nothing different. And the young one finalizes that purchase of the house and they set to being the latest owner that's going to fix it once and for all and maybe even flip it for a profit. Decades later, the house is worse off than when they started and they are broke.
Not saying it's ok but there is a fair amount of schadenfreude to be had knowing that stuff they made me do in the 90s going to predominantly black schools causes so much outrage when applied to everyone else.

That being said schools shouldn't feel like prison. Students shouldn't feel like their privacy and agency is forfeit. They should not feel subhuman.
I've read all of the founders' blog posts now and I'm convinced they've packed every anti-pattern they could find into this startup. It's focus is entirely on the personalities involved and not at all on the product. They talk about their cool new office, funding, they have a 50 point list on values, they have a podcast, a newsletter...

Yet there's essentially nothing about what the product is (that being the only thing most people care about). This reminds me of first time founders who can't wait to get "CEO" business cards. Worry about the product first, last and in-between. The rest is just there to signal to us that your priorities aren't in the right place.
It's not obvious to everyone yet but the modern language that will become the most mainstream is obviously Kotlin.
It has almost all modern language features, a ton of justified syntax sugars, and is 100% compatible with the Java ecosystem making it the most production ready among "modern languages"

The only other language with such a property is to my knowledge, typescript.
Not true. Perhaps you meant to say that copy protection has existed for a long time. But plenty of commercial video has been available without copy protection.
People are very aware of the trade off of cars (and limiting car speeds) and willing to accept those trade offs with the morbidity and mortality risks. Giving up large houses and yards and nice quiet neighborhoods isn’t worth the increase in feeling of safety to many.

Also, people feel more in control when they drive, and who doesn’t like to think they’re a better driver than others?
