> Cloud is an expensive, overly complicated, lock-in boondoggle.

Only if you go with companies that make it such.

Renting web hosting on someone's collection of rack-mounted systems running some well-known OS is Cloud, and there's nothing inherently bad about that, unless you've defined Cloud to mean "Only The Bad Stuff About Using Computers Other People Own". You can run things like they were run in the 1990s, complete with Apache and mod_perl CGI and MariaDB swapped in for MySQL and everything held together with shell scripts and run via ssh and ftp. No magic, no lock-in, no complexity beyond what every other serious general-purpose computer system is these days.

I agree that Big Cloud Providers layer on pricing models and whatever middle-management-ware they can come up with to obfuscate the underlying mechanics, but if you're against that, say so. Don't catch everything in your blast radius because it reduces the overall impact.
This isn't correct. Re-pasting a previous answer to add clarity:

So if you sell a $10 item:

1%, or 10c goes to Flurly

2.9% + 30c or 59c goes to Stripe

$10 - 10c - 59c = $9.31 goes to the seller

There is no additional charge to the customer above $10.

This is the first use of an expensive (~$500?) .new domain I’ve seen in the wild not associated with a global brand.

For those who don’t know, this domain is constrained to applications where a new file or process is created by visiting the domain, e.g., Google’s http://doc.new creating a new Google Doc file.

In some sense achieving high resolution imagery from orbit is simpler in that SAR requires motion compensation on the order of a wavelength. Planes are subject to all sorts of motion like turbulence whereas a satellite’s motion is often far more predictable. Closing the link budget can certainly be more challenging given longer ranges and size, weight, power, and cooling constraints for satellites though.
Not when that becomes table stakes, no. If you have five different companies offering you that kind of money, eventually you'll start thinking about more than just the money.
The agriculture market already spends billions on automation. For example row crop tractors are mostly self driving. Machines milk cattle with no humans involved. Etc.

Show HN: Owncast – An open-source, self-hosted live streaming server
I wanted to share the status with the Owncast project. If Wordpress is your self-hosted version of Medium, then this is your self-hosted version of Twitch.

I've been little by little chipping away at building an easy to use and super useful live streaming server for individuals. It's still early days, but some recent updates include a dashboard where you can see some basic viewer metrics, configuration settings, and how your hardware is handling all that video crunching. We all know working with video can be intensive on the hardware side, so hopefully this helps people keep tabs on things.

There's a demo server if you're curious what it's like. But if you're a streamer, or even have a little interest in the space, I'd love for you to give it a spin. Feedback is highly appreciated!

If you want to learn more about the project check out the documentation, and of course all the source, issues and additional discussion are over on Github.

I hear a variation of this type of thing from windows fans constantly. "It's your hardware's fault." But never Window's fault.

Radar is good at ranging. So you can locate things precisely in that dimension. It’s not great at cross-range though because a beam is typically wide. SAR gets around this by essentially using the flight path or orbit of a radar sensor to synthesize a longer antenna than you’ve got. You make some assumptions that can be violated to varying degrees that may degrade the image (you need coherence over the synthetic aperture, you assume things you’re imaging don’t move, etc.)
Really impressive work!

Literally anything works to an extent.

If the virus is in microdroplets in your breath, something in front of your face when you breathe out is going to slow some of those droplets down, making them less likely to be inhaled by others nearby.

I don't have an Oculus but have heard good things about it. But I can't get one because my Facebook account was similarly shut down without explanation in 2019. Despite its age (15 years) I barely used it, let alone for anything "controversial", but did regularly log into it. I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.

It’s slightly tangential, but I’m managing an engineering team of 28-30 and we’re currently considering a wholesale change to ARM CPUs across the board.

MacBooks are our de facto development laptop and all our services use skaffold for local development, Docker basically. If we consider the perhaps likely outcome that MacBooks will one day be ARM-only, that Docker will not offer cross-arch emulation, and that our development environment will be ARM only, it then becomes likely that we’ll migrate our UAT and PROD to ARM based instances.

If we go that route it’ll mean more money to the AWS Graviton programme and likely further development of ARM chips. I can’t see this affecting RISC-V but the M1 switch could very well benefit the wider ARM ecosystem.
This seems like it'd degenerate into "pawn moves only", since you can immediately undo any other move.
You could probably get away with just using a heuristic of average number of classes per element to classify tailwind =D
This is pretty wild.

The M1 beats my Xeon E-2176M @2.7GHz with 64GB of memory in every test but Jython. (I'm on OpenJDK 15, which probably doesn't matter). Later tomorrow I'll try it on my 2700x based system.

45W vs 10W... Running these tests may have changed my mind on this little CPU!

I really tried to like Nextcloud. I set it up multiple times. And it was a giant cluttered mess of a UI, things worked poorly, and as much as I want to be ok with a PHP app, I don't trust PHP.

And its not because I want it to be JS web app or anything like that. Just the core HTML/CSS is poorly implemented and just doesn't look good.

The calendar and addons system just work so poorly. I just cant use it. I just use Seafile for filesharing.

I've run my own email before, also a pain in the ass for spam management. I do own my own domain and use ImprovMX.com to forward it to a free Gmail account. So if I ever need move, I can do it quickly and easily by just changing the forward.

I'm not privacy conscious so I don't really care to run from Google for that reason, I just am tired of them shutting down and killing services I use often.

I just haven't hit an email service that matches the spam fighting powers of Google yet. or the UI. Everything else looks so traditional. and I don't want to pay $99 for Hey, mostly only do month to month so I can easily cancel and not waste money if I want to stop using it.

Anyways, I digress. I just haven't found the right combination of tools for me, but Nextcloud was not it. I honestly think its horribly designed. We need an alternative to it, but I know its a huge undertaking to make something like this, so I am not sure it will happen any time soon.

On this face of it and without reading any of the other writings, this just sounds totally meaningless to me. Is the belief that true meaning or purpose in life can come only from within? What about your own thoughts are so sacred that everything else should be considered a distraction from them?
I doubt that --- modern x86 (everything since the original Pentium) breaks instructions into uops anyway and caches those, so if anything I'd say the M1 is impressive despite having relatively large fixed-length instructions.

There's some more discussion in here about the source of the M1's performance, and it largely seems to come down to the smaller process size that enabled Apple to scale up a lot of the structures in the uarch:

> I think the reason most people are suspicious of those who don't work for a living is fairness: we all benefit from the many goods and services that our society produces, so we all should contribute our fair share to producing them.

This implies that an employee of a firm like Renaissance Technologies should have the same social status as an unemployed welfare recipient; I do not believe this is the case in our society.
It’s mostly that you can only pull instructions off the queue from the front, whereas with ARM since the size is fixed you can just pull them off anywhere.

I think with x86 Intel and AMD are basically brute forcing this by just pulling instructions off a random position and hoping it’s a correct offset, but it’s very inefficient.
It’s not that big, it’s ~120 mm^2. You can go to intel or AMD and find 750 mm^2 chips...

Apple have 2 advantages here.

- They don’t play in the low-cost arena, people expect a Mac to be a bit more expensive, so they have a larger cost budget to work with

- They don’t have to make a profit on the CPU in particular, whereas Intel and AMD do.

Apple want a 38-40% margin on the whole shebang, and if it needs a more expensive chip, then that’s what’ll happen, maybe taking cost-savings from (2), and of necessary adding price because of (1).

I would be shocked if Platform Architecture at Apple didn’t already have 8, 16, and 32-core variants of the M series up and running, or at the very least in simulation. They’re coming, and the world will change. Again.
Because they are often used to quote something someone said that is probably not true, but you don’t want to take responsibility for it or legitimize it by presenting it as your own word or belief.

Controversy over Israeli Scientist alien claims
I don’t get this.

You’re basically locking yourself to a single development eco system, and a highly limited deployment eco system.

It’s not clear what the benefits of either are either. I get that the MacBook gets great performance for battery life but the majority of work is gonna be done in desktop settings, so simply using more/equally powerful x86 chips is only gonna cost you a few dollars a developer per year in electricity costs.

And all that despite the fact that your development is on Docker which doesn’t even have a working solution for the workflow you’re considering at the moment.

The True Face of the Enemy: On School
Singapore restaurant first ever to serve Eat Just lab-grown chicken
I think it's sad that the vast majority of people in our field (at least in my experience) is so damn excited about building new stuff all the time. There's no appreciation for maintaining, optimizing, and improving existing systems. There's only talk of "adding value" but very little of "keeping value."

So people keep moving on to the next project, leaving the old ones running live but to rot, and at best every once in a while someone will be assigned the dreadful task of having to figure out why the "legacy" (even though it's still fully in operation and servicing customers) system had an outage and can't recover.

Our field suffers from a serious lack of focus. People don't learn to work under constraints. Instead, they prefer to build a whole new thing, full of complexity and hidden issues, just to get around a few nuisances that, with the right mindset, actually force one to be creative (which should make work fun).

I've recently commented here on HN about how I feel like I'm outside the norm on these things [0]. I was happy to learn I'm not alone. I do think those of us who don't mind working on "legacy" systems and perhaps with limited tools are the minority though.

Sometimes it's not even about working on old systems. You work with current tech, build something, and as soon as it's barely deployable, you're expected to move on to the next thing. "It's a great opportunity for your career," they say, "you're gonna get to build something new and make key decisions."

Why does it have to be decided for me? It's my current predicament. I'm working on a project that took me two months to get in the right mindset for and get all the context I needed. I had to try things out, sort out ideas, until I got a clear picture of what to build. Now I've built the first iteration of it. It works, and I'm super excited about it. But it's not done by any means. It needs more features. It needs to be polished so it doesn't make operations miserable running the thing. And yet... I have to move on, and hand it over to someone who doesn't have the same excitement for it that I have, and has maybe 10% of the context.

All because building new things (and adopting The New Hotness, as you say) is what "everyone" wants.

Wells Fargo and the US Army are well capable of paying Microsoft enough money to change their incentives.

This is why things like security audits exist - you can't judge a software product's internal quality from just what the salespeople tell you and what you see by running it, so you demand as a condition of purchase that someone look (with an appropriate NDA) at the internals and deliver a second opinion as to whether it's competent-looking code. This is also why things like PCI exist - you certainly can process credit cards without being careful about anything, but the credit card companies have decided (with an eye their own long-term profitability) that you only should process them with at least a little bit of care, even if that doesn't produce a visible functional difference. Yet.

Now, I'm not saying these are perfect processes by any stretch, but they absolutely act to prevent a company from laying off a division that provides an important but unseen function and coasting on reputation for several years.

No company the size of Microsoft is going to develop good software out of the kindness of its heart or a sense of professional pride or responsibility. Individuals do this all the time, of course - that's why Linux exists in the first place. But once you put a company around it, you should expect that it's going to have MBAs who don't want people to spend their time doing things that don't bring profit, and the customers should interact with the company accordingly: make sure the things you do want them doing bring them profit
1- The Great Wave off Kanagawa-(Kanagawa oki nami- ura)
At the time of its creation, The great wave off Kanagawa (The great wave), 1830–34, was simply one of the compositions comprising Hokusai’s Mt Fuji series. Within a short period of time, however, it became a favourite with Edo’s print-loving public. Within four decades, the print was heralded by modern artists and thinkers in Europe, and during the twentieth century its status as, arguably, the single most famous image in all Asian art was established.
In addition to The great wave’s sheer graphic beauty, there is a compelling compositional force in its contrast between wave and mountain. The horizon has been lowered to emphasise the height of the monstrous towering wave which stands in tense juxtaposition over the graceful lines of a diminutive Mt Fuji.
The dynamic composition creates a coexistence between human frailty and the power of nature. We see tiny fishermen huddled in their sleek crafts ride down one wave, dive straight into the next and endeavour to come out the other side. Every morning these boats, named oshiokuribune, transported fish to markets in Edo Bay from villages on the Bōsō Peninsula. The lifelike tentacles of the wave are captivating, and the undulating water allow us to share in the boatmen’s perilous situation.
