* Is remote an option? (e.g. from other cities in Bavaria, like Munich?)

From an HN admin this is pretty off-putting.

If I work for a company and I'm earning them millions of dollars, you're saying that I don't deserve to be compensated proportionally, I should just give them my time and effort because of "self-respect"?

This explains why you always silence my replies on the Who's Hiring posts. If you truly think that people should work for 'self-respect', no wonder you hate it when I ask that companies post about their hiring requirements: length of process, type of interviews, projects and whether they're paid, etc.

Obviously you think we should all do those things for free because of our "self-respect". You must be rich AF already to have that kind of attitude.
Instead of €50. The government could make €70 tax relief. Then there would be no need to transfer (€50 x millions of bike owners) through the government's hands and to waste peoples effort on serving the whole operation.

The only reason why it is not like that is because politicians like to have our money which gives them power and makes the state bigger and bigger.

Cool!! I wonder how the performance compares to Highcharts?
I don't think a great name helped "search.com", which was owned by CNet[5] at the time and has probably been handed off countless times since.

I think I started using google back around '99, and what I recall is first noting that compared to competitors[1][3][4], Google's home page was very clean.[2]

So while the search results were objectively better, that initial experience set my expectations.

What a shame, it was a nice piece of hardware that could have had a few more years of life.
it's an understatement for sure :)

a lot of time is spent on just DOM layout and JITing the JS, which get amortized with huge datasets. the 166k bench doesnt take any longer.
From painful experience, I can say that leaving a branch that lasts longer than a day only on your machine is begging to lose work.

Unless your machine is automatically backed up every hour, in which case ignore me.

That has not been the case in most of my jobs, but pushing my WIP branch to a remote every hour or two achieves that goal in practice (as long as I don't have anything important that's not in a repo).

Maybe a good strategy could be to just announce your closure on the company's launch date to generate awareness.

But joking aside, people's bandwidth for new websites is so limited, especially for something like Search, which the vast majority of the population considers to be a 'solved' problem.

I found out about them when they flooded HN with blog posts a few months back, so they definitely made an effort. [0]

Cloudflare and Fastly are in somewhat different industries even though they can do some similar things. Fastly has a small number of large customers, Cloudflare has an astronomical number of customers which makes what they do even harder. From the outside looking in I would rate Cloudflare as one of the most technical companies in systems software industry at the moment. It's probably because CF has a highly technical CTO.
To be fair, they only launched their Internet search engine a few months ago, and it's not out of beta.

It appears that this was a pivot after trying many other things, including creating a new browser. They started out their search stuff with a browser extension. It's not a new company; they've been around since 2008.
Don't feel bad, you are likely a "glass is half empty" type of person, you can't help it. It's hard to believe you actually read the article, they framed the accomplishment in a very accurate light. They are not claiming it revolutionary: "Dally’s aim was to build the “simplest possible” ventilator." He accomplished this goal. He wanted to build a ventilator useful in emergency situations. Would you have us believe that on your death bed you would tell the doctor to give a ventilator of this design to someone else because it looks like a high school student could build it? This is a quality design because it meets the stated requirements.

Beautiful! I had this same system shown to me for a couple of houses I was looking at buying last year, the real estate agent had these photos taken in the house and stitched together this way with a dolls house view too. Very useful for that kind of application.

Combined with VR glasses it would be a great way to preview things like furniture/new kitchen layouts in somewhere like Ikea or paint colours in a hardware store.

For a dataset like this, Highcharts would be slower for sure since it will create DOM SVG components for each of the points. <canvas> (which this is built with) is much quicker at presenting tons and tons of data points like this.

People mocked the name "Google" as impossibly silly when they first launched. (And did you see their first logo [1]?) Names mean absolutely nothing.

This is nonsense IMHO. This is just an encoding scheme to encode data. Just because blocks used by the encoding scheme are cached and reused for other data does not mean that they're not used to represent this data. If the data downloaded is copyrighted work, then copyright applies. Are copyright laws specific as to the technical method in which reproducing copyrighted material without authorization counts as a violation, or is the method irrelevant?

If the method is irrelevant, then yes, using this scheme to copy copyrighted material is copyright infringement.

If it is relevant, then there's nothing special about this scheme at all except that it is different than the specific methods outlined in the law.

Restaurants are fucked but the underlying costs associated with real estate are insane. Where I live, treasured restaurants close at a regular cadence due to rent hikes. Nobody can afford to run a restaurant at the prices being charged here. The end result is a cocktail that is $25 or a pint thats $10. High real estate prices are essentially forcing every commercial space to become a chain restaurant unless they can be just a super busy bar in a controlled neighborhood.

I love this site. It's truly impressive for any solo founder, regardless of the age, let along an 18 year old. Yeah, you kind of rely on the generosity of your vendor (Vercel, in this case), but that's really the only option if you want to keep costs low.

I hated Wordpress so much so that I wrote my own CMS + static site generator using a different approach and used it for clients who run sites with 3 million+ visitors a month currently. Once we made that move, we realized how horribly slow was Wordpress even on the best hardware thrown at it. Our costs dropped down to 1/10th of what we used to spend as well purely in terms of hardware. I can easily believe that static sites are the future.

I think this space has a lot of room for new players and definitely worth to keep a watch on.
All the best. Hope you see success.

I've been using Dgraph for over a year (on/off, it's a side project). I first saw Dgraph on HN.

I thought Dgraph was going to be the "secret sauce" for my app after reading the list of features (maybe I was mesmerized by the cute mascot). Few months down the line, though, sometimes I question my decision and whether I should have used the good old PgSQL. Let me explain.

1. Coming from SQL and key-value NoSQL, Dgraph was very foreign to me. It's like OOP guy learning Functional Programming. Now I'm quite comfortable with it, but it took me months to be productive. To give an analogy, learning Dgraph is like learning Scala instead of Python.

2. Actually it's worse, the resources are mostly in the forum (micheldiz is my hero) and the official website. Until recently, the navigation for the docs is horrible, everything in one big HTML file, difficult to jump in from Google search result.

3. Rudimentary tooling for development phase. When you're working on a new idea for a product, you will experiment A LOT with the schema and data. When you write wrong data, with most RDMBS you can use GUI to right-click and delete or edit. In Dgraph, you must write mutation query (assuming you remember the syntax, as it is a bespoke language). Dgraph GUI is very minimal.

4. About the mutation.. in Dgraph (as far as I know) there's no referential integrity in the DB-sense. Like, you can make FK to non-existent object, or insert something invalid without returning error (but it's not stored, since it's invalid). The "integrity check" is in your app.

5. Because of #3 and #4, I find it easier to just drop the whole database and recreate it along with seed data, every. time.

6. The documentation for the Java client library is very minimal. So there you go, unfamiliarity with the query language ("GraphQL+-"), with the Dgraph itself, and with the client library.

I still use Dgraph, it's a good fit for my app, but if you're starting on a new business idea, maybe don't use anything fancy. My mistake, being a developer, I mixed research (new tech!) and bootstrapping.

(In case you're wondering, my app is http://s.id/axtiva-android-test -- still version 0.0.x, but recently I'm releasing weekly)
The explosion of JS and web development created a culture of people totally ignorant of the hard-learned lessons since the 1960s. That is why you see constant reinventions of the wheel, a shitty wheel at that.
I am in Iowa. I am aware of our situation here. It is highly localized to several meat processing plants. Bigger cities are seeing larger numbers.

I live less than an hour away from the capital, Des Moines. We have ~30 confirmed cases total in my county. My mom lives near the northern border. They have 2 confirmed cases total.

We never went to strict "shelter in place". Today the majority of the state is relaxing restrictions and restaurants can allow limited dine-in options if they wish.

Maybe it will go terrible. Maybe it won't. We will see.

Also cherrypicking the fund, it seems. I noted a few days ago a broader view: https://www.ft.com/content/602c45e1-219c-49b2-ab17-9b47791fd...

> Such funds on average lost money every year from 2012 to 2019 inclusive, according to CBOE Eurekahedge’s index of tail risk hedge funds. Despite having three crises to profit from since the start of 2008 — the global financial crisis, the eurozone debt crisis and the coronavirus crisis — they are still down by an average of 24 per cent over that period.
Dropping 32 bit support frankly was a good idea and a step in the right direction in not carrying legacy cruft for generations... but Metal just doesn't make much sense. OSX is already a super niche market for gaming anyways and having a completely separate API just didn't garner any favors especially once Vulkan came around.
How much sound does it make though?
