I doubt the M1 macs are really using memory much more efficiently; the stock M1 macs with 8GB were available rapidly; the Macs with 16GB ram or larger disk space had a three to four week delay when ordering; a lot of enthusiasts and influencers rushed out and got base models; they are then surprised to find they can work ok in most apps with only 8GB.

Perhaps they never really needed to fit 32GB into their intel macs either.
Some days after the glowing reviews; and strange comments about magic memory utilization; we now see comments concerned about SSD wear due to swap file usage.

If the applications and data structures are more compact in memory on the arm processors; it should be easy to test; you just need an intel mac; and an M1 mac running the same app on the same document and look at how much memory it uses.

Yes, the moderation tools have developed a lot over the years.

Artificially supporting and re-introducing wild life has its hazards too. In my country, romania, we have grown a huge bears population, totally disconnected from a natural food chain as you can get. They usually go into cities and villages for food, stopped hibernating because of the availability of food during winter, and keep reproducing. Some have actually moved in abandoned places near cities terrorising locals. The bears are not hunted, with no natural predators and unlimited food...

Async font loading and handling FOUT
As far as I understand about chip design (not much), the fact that the memory is inside the same package allows Apple to do stuff that would never fly with unknown external memory.

They know the exact latencies and can distribute the memory between CPU and GPU as they please.

A loss in upgradeability is a huge gain in speed and reliability.

My bet is that the next M processor will just have more of everything. More cores and more built-in memory. Maybe the one for the (i)Mac Pro will have upgradeable memory on top of the built-in ones. All of the laptops will only have the on-package memory.

Hey HN community,

I am Sandeep, co-founder of Hashnode. I am super excited to be here and share what we have been working on.

Hashnode helps developers start a personal blog on their own domain for free and find readership from an active dev community.

We realized that traditional publishing platforms offer visibility and engagement at the cost of content ownership. On the other hand if you go with a self hosted solution, your articles don't get proper visibility and reach. Hashnode combines the best of both worlds. It lets you map a custom domain and publish articles under your own branding and also distributes them to a built in developer community.

We launched in June this year and have been growing 30% in different KPIs month over month. So, it has been a crazy ride so far.

Seeing strong word of mouth and traction! We have curated some of the testimonials here: https://hashnode.com/testimonials

I would love to know what you think!

I don’t really agree with the premise. The core logic of a program can (optionally) interact with humans and/or other systems. With neither, one is left with a “run to completion” program that typically transforms its OS supplied inputs into outputs.

A “user interface” is associated with human interaction, whereas an API is associated with interaction with other systems. That human interaction is in terms of the user of the program, not the producer.

That programmers are human, might mean that they need to program against an API, but surely that doesn’t mean that the term “user interface” should be extended to it?
It really does, I started using it recently, and I was very impressed.

This is not OK.
Apple makes it very clear in their materials that their unified memory is a very big part of their performance boost.

> So if a future Mx chip supports discrete RAM, it may not seem quite as magical anymore.

I agree, but I also doubt they will be making a Mac Pro SOC with huge amounts of RAM aboard either. I'm not sure how common they are, but Apple supports up to a terra-byte of RAM (maybe more). I could easily see SOCs with 64GB of RAM, but I'm struggling with them putting 128 or 256GB+ on the SoC.

Maybe some kind of hybrid?

Very curious to see how they are going to work around this.

I rarely want to, but in fact I can turn off my car at any time, and have, and it would be an intolerable problem to discover some day that I was not in control of my car.

You have presented no argument.

It's bad enough that it's impossible for anything to be perfect, and so even when you do your honest best, I will not be in control of my car once in a while because something simply broke. (I pressed the brake, the car didn't stop)

But there is no excuse for artificially injecting avoidable breakage by having things decide not to work, on top of the unavoidable honest breakage.

It is ultimately, and fundamentally, wrong to try to predict all valid actions ahead of time and provide some sort of managed answer for all the actions you though of and decided are the universe of valid actions.

At my current company, as an employee, I have 4 people I could call 'manager' and I'm not even talking about higher level managers and VPs.

I agree that being a 1099 hired gun can spare you from a lot of politics. It's nice to have a list of tasks the customer wants, bang them out, and walk away with a satisfied customer and a pile of money.

That said, I spent over half my career at two companies which did everything from staff augmentation to full product development. In my experience I did not detect a level of politics comparable to that at a large valley company. Granted, those companies were outside the valley and owned/run by a very smart, personable, experienced leader/engineer/salesman. It helps to do the investigative work up front and define success criteria in the initial statement of work. A lot of customers balk at paying for the upfront work, but it was a pretty firm requirement when you wanted us to take on a project. I was lucky to get hired into a design services firm early on and benefitted from the wisdom of a building full of independent contractors working for an engineering for hire company.

But, like I was getting at originally, I think it varies. There are some types of work that are hard to scope initially or where the customer exhibits child-like behavior. If you can, you can learn to identify those situations and avoid them. It helps when employment is tight and you can turn down work.
A more apt analogy would be "for everyday users who just want to record their expenses, keep a journal, and sketch some drawings, paper and pencil have been perfectly fine for the last century".

Understanding how computers work down to being able to describe L1 instruction caches and how prefetching works and why having an 8 instruction wide decoder pulling from a giant L1I cache isn't really relevant to empowering people. Most people are going to be more empowered by using computers more efficiently to prepare documents and presentations to assist their other endeavors. I think those people can be forgiven for not getting excited that now they have "8 cores" or "16 cores" or "32 cores". Conversely, getting drastically improved battery life is an immediate and tangible improvement in the day-to-day lives of people.

Being illiterate creates a societal gap because it prevents the free spread of information, and creates a class hierarchy centered around controlling the spread of information. How does not understanding how computers work limit people?

> "how much of a divide there now is"

You seem to be insinuating that, used to, people were "more literate" and are becoming more ignorant. What if it's just that computers have become easier to use and more prevalent?

More people are using computers to communicate now than ever before. This seems to be the opposite of "peasants not knowing how to write". People have more opportunity to reach out and grow.

There are problems in controlling information and infrastructure, who owns all our data, and who controls social media along with privacy concerns, and maybe one of the solutions to these problems is more tech education, but this seems orthogonal to your concerns.

That's what I believe too, but once thing I don't understand is you would think by doing so they would depress the price on USD exchanges, and eventually cause the price to decouple between USD and USDT, but that doesn't seem to be happening this time.
I received ” Apologies, but something went wrong on our end.” from Medium. Surprisingly fitting in this case.
API spam is a big problem in Google Analytics too, you might just be big enough now to have become a target. I think the answer is to build a spam filter. You could take the ones made for email and adapt them for analytics requests possibly. This seems like a real place where ML pattern recognition models would shine. Any realistic spam filter will involve sampling a fraction of traffic for deep analysis and IP banning badly behaving subnets for ~24h. And it's definitely better to shadow ban, but smart assholes will have an account to see if their spam is getting through as well.

I wouldn't worry about short-term IP caching. AWS's upstream load balancers and your own servers are probably doing it anyways to maintain TCP state tables. Linux kernel's "conntrack". If you don't want to cache IP's you can you a probabilistic data structure like a bloom filter synched between instances. If has a small false positive rate but is very fast and doesn't store whole IP. Bloom filter based IP filtering is used in every big DDOS prevention system I know of.

As much as you like lambda, I would ditch it. And the queues. My general advice is that any time you need to add a work queue to something, it's not fast enough.

Your analytics endpoint data ingestion should be something lightning fast like Go, Rust, or an async Java back end. Analytics is a lossy process, you lose traces because of browser behavior and plugins all the time anyways so I wouldn't prioritize 100% accuracy.

I would focus on power/dollar over reliability. If I was you, my ingest boxes would be load balanced with DNS round robin and sitting at various Colocation providers. Get a fat 40 gig unlimited data pipe. Build some stupid fast Rust/Go/Java backend that can saturate that pipe. And do all your filtering/spam analysis here.

I don't think lambda, SQS queues, PHP are the best technologies for this kind of mass data ingestion. I don't even think your ingestion layer should be on AWS. I would follow the lead of other companies doing mass data ingestion and build your own machines. That's how CloudFlare, Netflix etc are able to handle so much traffic without going bankrupt.

I would consider yourself lucky that your first DDOS was so small. 10k requests/sec is tiny. ~400k/sec can be generated on a regular desktop with fiber internet connection. Right now, a single user could knock you offline by messing around with JMeter. I think it's a wake up call that you're in the infrastructure business whether you like it or not, and you need to massively beef up your data ingestion layer. Realistically, you should be able to handle ~50 gigabit attack with 10 million requests/sec. I think that's achievable with a couple boxes colocated on 40 gig lines running fast software

> The philosopher in me doesn't mean to be snarky, but what the author concedes here is that APIs actually aren't like user interfaces.

I'd say that the 'proper' API design depends very much on the language you target, at least when you come to details. However there are a few overarching principles of UI design which also hold for API design such as consistency (in my view the most important part of UI design) or discoverability.

In my view resorting to documentation is a second line of defense. The first line being able to understand intuitively. This is one reason I prefer libraries over frameworks. The latter almost always require documentation for working with them (you need to implement these 5 interfaces and put them into this factory,...). The former done right are almost always intuitively understandable.

Isn't it the case with Java that it will do this because you do have the memory to spend on it? Generally this "handling the mess afterward" involves some kind of nursery or early generation these days, but their size may be use-case-dependent. If tuned for a 8/16 GB environment, presumably the "sawtooth" wouldn't need to be as tall.
It's never just one thing. It's a bunch of things that have been kept dormant for a couple of years with the price not moving too much. Price will explode again due to built-up hype and FOMO, and then a year later it will be in free fall again and all the "smart people" will claim it will go to zero and be worthless....just like the last 20 times it did that. And on and on we go.

Ask HN: Sequoia's Coinswitch / Kuber Scam – Theft via perpetual KYC delay
Sequoia-backed Coinswitch.co claims to offer easy no-login crypto trading, but then selectively steals the largest of orders.

My experience: 23 days ago, I was attempting to use Coinswitch, when they froze my ~$6000 ETH transaction (https://coinswitch.co/app/exchange/transaction/28f07022-4ab2-4fa6-b093-fe61a6bcb82f#). These were fresh ETH, recently withdrawn from Coinbase. Immediately after freezing 23 days ago, Coinswitch demanded KYC, which I immediately submitted. Then, the stalling began. Eventually, 13 days ago, they claimed that the first KYC video was blurry, so I immediately resubmitted the video. Ever since then, Coinswitch has continued to delay, saying that there's no ETA at all, refusing to return the ETH to the original address that I sent them from.

This is despite their TOS suggesting that they should've refunded my ETH within 72 hours (https://coinswitch.co/terms)

What happens to the funds they seize and refuse to process KYC on? -- They pocket them, of course.
No wonder their founder Ashish Singhal has said in recent interviews that they have no need to ever raise investment money again.

Certainly not on the same scale but Suharto tactics continued well past 1965.

In _1991_, Suharto's troops commanded an attack on peaceful demonstrators who were protesting the killing of a man, Sebastiao Gomes, at point blank range inside a church. Some of these demonstrators ran away into a cemetery and where trapped taking cover from bullets behind gravestones. At least 250 People were confirmed dead in this massacre at Santa Cruz cemetery.
