Sorry, the 4x was my estimate of Ignition vs. Sparkplug (I guess it's closer to Iain's estimate of 2-4x). Sparkplug vs. TurboFan is crazy workload dependent. For microbenchmark-y tight loops, integer attorneys, and clean single-shape ("monomorphic") property loads, TurboFan is orders of magnitude faster. For small functions that just have non-inlineable function calls and heavily polymorphic property loads (with lots of shapes so you can't skip the property lookup), like you see in a lot of web code, they're close to on-par (because there's nothing TF can optimise away). If you put a gun to my head, I'd say it's on "average" maybe 10x? Very much a Fermi approximation though.
It'd be pretty stupid for them to deliberately release it right next to the lab.
Trying to decide between these:

(a) Wordpress
(b) SquareSpace
(c) https://strapi.io/
(d) https://prismic.io/
(e) https://www.contentful.com/

The output will be a simple website, we already have all pages in HTML, and from the tech perspective we could use any of the above.

What I've seen was: SquareSpace is still rather limited, Prismic and Contentful are around $500 per month in their non-free-tier, and Strapi is just too expensive to find devs for. Plus their editor looks the same as Wordpress's if I'm honest.

On the other hand, Wordpress has a massive community of reasonably priced freelancers, has updates many times a year, and most things you want out of the box (such as SEO, or easy hosting on Heroku or elsewhere). The only thing it doesn't have is the excitement to work with it :)

Is there a good business case for any of the competitors?
Those issues went away with the automatic updates feature.

Those are good questions, but I think the link I provided gives some decent potential answers.

I don't know, and I'm not asserting, that any of this is true. But given what is known about the types of research being done, this doesn't seem like something we can rule out either.

For one example, the article quotes Shi Zhengli, a lab director at the Wuhan Virology Institute, who had been doing research on RaTG13, and who upon realising COVID-19 was related to RaTG13 was immediately was concerned it had leaked from her lab. According to the article, she lost sleep over this, and was enormously relieved when she could prove that the outbreak in Wuhan was not any strain that the lab had a record of storing.

I find it surprising that you are so much more convinced than a lab director of the lab in question that no such leak was possible. To be sure, perhaps she was suffering from an excess of caution...but if she found the thought plausible enough that she lost sleep over it, perhaps we, vastly further away and with much less information, should not rule the risk out entirely?

In any case, if you feel comfortable, based on your knowledge, concluding that you can rule out the lab leak hypothesis, that's great, but it does seem to put you at odds with basically every expert I've seen quoted so far.
Jacquard was the first to build a stored program machine. It didn't compute, but it did produce valuable programmed output. Thus the people who punched the cards for looms were programmers.

When Henry Maudslay designed, built and set up his 16 machines to make pulleys for the Royal Navy, he was also doing programming.

I think the main point of the article is that we need to greatly broaden the idea of what programming means. It doesn't have to involve a program counter iterating through a list of instructions.

Spreadsheets don't have a program counter (though of course, we use them in the process of making them work). Field Programmable Gate Arrays also don't have a program counter, and they do everything in parallel, yet they are programmed.

Programming is the process of breaking a problem down to a series of steps that are then mechanized.
FIFA Quality Field for the Frajanas Municipal Stadium in Spain
CCGrass, the world’s largest synthetic turf manufacturer, and FIFA Preferred Producer, has recently completed a FIFA Quality pitch for the Frajanas Municipal Stadium (ESTADIO MUNICIPAL FRAJANAS) in Spain.

The installation of a new artificial grass in the Frajanas sports complex is a work of improvement action with the fundamental objective of responding to a manifest need for the various sports groups and users. It is about readapting the football field with the installation of a high quality artificial grass according to the needs of the users' sports practice and those of updating the facilities themselves.

Alejandro Hoz, Sports Councilor of the Astillero City Council, supervised the works and personally verified the good development of the project. “We are satisfied to see that the works are developing correctly. Now we really want to see how the children and young people of the municipality enjoy this magnificent facility”, said Hoz.

CCGrass has become FIFA Preferred Producer since 2013 and now has over 250 FIFA certified fields worldwide. We are well experienced in the production and installation of professional artificial football fields, which fully meets our clients’ needs and also the requirements of FIFA standards.

CCGrass product Pride series is chosen for this field. Pride series achieves the perfect combination of wear resistance, resilience and softness, meeting the all-round needs of professional players. Thanks to its ridged, diamond shaped design, Pride is exceptionally durable. After 220,000 cycles on the standard Lisport test, Pride still keep good condition.

We’re proud to provide high-quality turf product to contribute to the local sports development. CCGrass will also continue to provide more professional and high quality football pitches worldwide.
I agree, unfortunately. For me, it's been on a decline since wordpress.com came along and from then it's felt more and more like Automattic is driving development to suit their business model. I still run a large-ish blogging network that uses WordPress Multisite, but I would love to migrate away from the platform if there was a suitable alternative.
Driving in the Snow Is a Team Effort for AI Sensors
The whole notion of hiring movers and consigning all your worldly possessions to some unseen third party just strikes me as utterly bizarre.

Hiring a few extra helpers to load up the U-haul at one end, and then unload it at the other end, I can see! But I've never been more than the length of a van from my stuff during a move, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
That was how I finally started my programming blog. I was struggling to find the root cause of an issue reported on one of my GitHub repos. Luckily I was able to remember something I had read and used it to understand why it was failing. Then I wrote a quick post about it. Since then I’ve only really created one other post about my struggles. Hope to be more active in noting down such posts from now on.
For me the dealbreaker is that games run consistently at 10%-20% lower FPS on Linux than on Windows. Not a disaster but it bothers me.

Native Linux games do run fast and sometimes faster but more and more publishers are abandoning native Linux and are taking the Proton route. That way they can get games to run on Linux and ignore all the support questions. "Sorry we dont't support Proton but we hear it runs well!".
I’m curious what options you are considering here that are comparable and don’t take 10x more technical skill and time? Sites like Squarespace or Wix? Or Webflow?
Great comment. If layered and localized counter-entropy is, philosohically, the highest attainment of a mainly entropic universe, hitting rm -fr on a species is pretty much the only universal example of evil. The destruction of complexity is the undermining of the universe's attempt to observe itself through forms of processing that arise after billions of years. But of course, their destruction is probably an expected outcome. That doesn't make it any less evil from our puny perspective.
The primary reason for VCs not investing is because their other VC friends have not yet invested. It’s like the old saying, “Nobody wants to invest until somebody invests, then everyone wants to invest”.
Most of these people owned mom and pops or online stores; they weren’t tech savvy and tended to believe what they read on google (usually blogs trying to sell them Wordpress plugins, SEO guides and the like) so yeah it would have fell on def ears. It is funny, now that I don’t deal with it anymore.
I assume you're referring to the disuse of SCTP?

That's not because of ossification, it's because of middleware boxes like NATs and firewalls that will refuse to pass anything that isn't TCP, UDP, or ICMP.
I don't agree, and think that the distinction between polite encouragement and the enthusiastic affirmations of VCs is important to understand if you're going to engage with startup fundraising. There is something specific and unintuitive going on in these meetings, and people from Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, and Tulsa are routinely caught out by it.
So it's another CentOS 8 replacement, with what sounds like a nice converter tool. I don't see specific reasons to favor this over Alma or Rocky, but more options generally strikes me as good (with some caveats around duplicated effort).

It again raises the issue that you need to learn a new language. Most web developers are not going to learn lisp when js is already available.
C + D
There is the old joke about any significantly advanced program in (C/C++/Java/whatever) evolving into a crappy lisp implementation.

Of course some (emacs) omit the initial steps and jump right to the steady state.
Ask HN: Strategies to Prevent Form Spam?
Lately I am getting more and more spam in my forms. Including sign up forms, which is annoying because it messes up your funnel, pollutes your db and statistics.

Privacy is an important topic for me, so reCAPTCHA from Google a big no. Services like hCaptcha and Akismet seem more privacy friendly though.

The best option is of course something that works locally. A honeypot field and CSRF are pretty simple and straightforward strategies to use. But bots sadly get smarter and smarter. Does anyone have (js) libraries, strategies or tips that can be used to fight this problem?
Happens all the time. I personally worked at co that went from aws to gcp and now are moving to azure and know of a few who did the same. So if you can change clouds you could move to onprem presumably if you can find folks who know how and don’t already work for your cloud provider
Google have been manipulating search results for years, putting their fingers on the scale both in terms of censorship and boosting of results.

When you control weights behind search results and news articles, you quite literally control the flow of information.

Google is an actively malicious company, and this was not done with good intentions. Anti-science rhetoric by Dr Fauci, the WHO and the mainstream media establishment was never based on any evidence other than politicized opinion.

Dr Fauci was vehemently against closing the border with China in January 2020. He was vehemently against masks. He was vehemently against lab leak theory (calling it "impossible"). He falsely claimed the Wuhan Institute of Virology was not doing gain-of-function research.

These are malicious acts which have a real cost. The cost is human life. How many additional people died on the back of his anti-mask rhetoric in March?
It never happened. Why are you telling outright lies in public? Obviously the download of that app is entirely voluntary, and just as obviously, Google has no clue about your status unless you disclose it to them.
Trees can die because of diseases in addition to droughts. But in California the main culprit is drought(1), and those droughts are not going to stop. It's an arid climate, prone to droughts, so if you don't cut the trees down during wet years, they will burn down during the dry years. So many decades of limiting clear cutting and controlled burns, combined with an unusually wet 20th Century, has turned the state into a tinderbox. It's estimated that the state would need to remove forests equal to the size of Maine to get back to a tinder load comparable to what it had prior to the arrival of settlers, when native americans routinely burned millions of acres each year in order to reduce the forest sizes. History will not look kindly on those who romanticized California's forests.

Well, I think one point which both Lehrer and Cargile are making, but which I don't see captured in your response, is that there is not a single all-purpose burden of proof for all disciplines – each discipline has to decide on its own rules around the burden of proof, and those adopted by one discipline (such as law) might not be appropriate for another (such as philosophy). Yet I see many amateur philosophers on the Internet make the assumption that some simple principle regarding the burden of proof must be obviously true and universally applicable, invoke analogies with the law to justify imposing some such principle on philosophical debates, etc.

In law, the burden of proof is a complex topic. In legal trials, the burden of proof is normally on the plaintiff/prosecution, but sometimes it shifts to the defendant instead (such as in "affirmative defences", "rebuttable presumptions", etc). Complex legal rules govern the burden of proof, they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and they change over time due to new legislation and evolution of case law. But these amateur philosophers appear ignorant of all that complexity.

Really, before invoking the concept of the burden of proof in a debate, there needs to be agreement upon what is the correct burden of proof for the matter under discussion. But, that is often a big digression from the substantive topic, and often the most fruitful course is to avoid that by deciding to leave the concept of "burden of proof" to one side. A good way to do that is to accept that both sides in a debate have an equal burden of proof.
Are you somehow claiming that most water exits the water cycle? Or it's possible a drop can?
Couldn't agree more. What you said is a design flaw that the Julia community keeps denying. The Julia community also behaves defensively when it comes to performance. They refuse to accept that Julia doesn't compete with C/Rust on many non-numeric tasks in the real world. In addition, the Julia community has its own circle, its own style to write code. They will trash your code even if it is efficient and logically correct. I once compared implementations in different languages and found Julia is slower than others. Several of them jumped at me, criticized my coding style and blamed me for their fault. But in the end they couldn't improve the performance. At the Julia discourse, I was alone in the argument. That was a really bad experience.
Pretty awesome for a guy who studied jazz saxophone and political science. You may have to say a lot of things about Wordpress etc but I know a lot of arrogant computer science people with Phds who think they are programmers but have created nothing in particular.
I wish WordPress would bake a flat site exporter directly into an install, instead of forcing folks to mess about with plugins.
If so a 'saleswoman' who "was previously a Ph.D. candidate at Oxford in a relevant field & have a B.Sc. in neuroscience from UT Austin" though.

Also when it comes to VCs, you gotta sell it. Or perish. And if you are gonna sell it, you better have some strategies. This is independent of how good your idea is. Maybe there will be an utopia where VCs consider things only on merit, but that is not the general reality right now.
> claim it’s fake news being pushed by “the elite.”

The "fake news" part is always disputable on a case by case basis, but the "elite" part is indisputable. A very small number of very wealthy people get to decide the range of opinions that are acceptable, and the deviations that get administrative comments. The mods aren't the auteurs - mods that correct incorrectly will be fired. Close calls rattle up the chain of command until they hit the CEO/Founder, who is often a billionaire, always very wealthy, always of a particular demographic.
I moved my family recently with a moving company, I think it was Upline, and we had a good experience, but I know it's hit or miss. I think the company I used said they used their own drivers. The more the moving company hires themselves, the better off it is to avoid the crazy brokering. Our delivery window was pretty good, I think it was within a few days from original estimation. All boxes were itemized by cost. I think it was around US$9000 after everything, including moving the family and hotels.

I think the 'belongings held hostage' stories are rare and there's probably some of the story missing. I think it has to do with shuttling if the trailer cannot fit. Always ask about shuttling fees and take pictures of the destination to make them say if they need to shuttle or not.

It's not a glamorous job. Pay the movers cash and tip generously.

I've never tried this, but I suppose you could hire a truck and trailer driver yourself, then hire local moving companies to load and unload. For one of our smaller moves, I did hire locally and they were excellent.

Good luck, it is stressful, my wife refuses to move again!
However, in past decades, those other networks didn't cause the same level of propagation of misinformation.
Quite to the contrary, I'd talk to you exactly like this in real life. I cordially invite you to coffee if you'd like proof of that. You made a very broad claim that was unsupported, so I asked you to support it. You responded with zero support and with a lot of heated blather that violates as many HN policies as you could manage. Stop complaining about upvotes and downvotes, and support your argument, instead.

As for your "coming with curiosity" scolding attempt? Please review the first two words of my comment.
Maybe you’re thinking of the 90s?

The ‘lost decade’ is considered to have started in 1991, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan) and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_economic_miracle.
That's Haskell, right?
Just skimming through the intro chapter I already spotted inaccuracies regarding SGML. For example:

> The following are equivalent: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" /> [and]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">>

No they're not. The author should study the 1998 WebSGML adaptations to ISO 8879 (the SGML spec), and in particular the NETENABL IMMEDNET feature.

I mean, I welcome discussion about HTML parsing; just not the kind of narrative painting HTML5 as some kind of academic or community consensus when it's very clear that HTML5 as it is is a dead end, and a regression due to its monolithic nature tying a parsing spec to a concrete markup language, unlike SGML and XML.
I'm very excited, looking at the GitHub stars in just 24 hours after launch it looks like many others are. This looks like a text book example of successful 'Show HN' launch.

So my question is really regarding this launch, rather than NocoDB itself as all pertinent questions regarding it seems to have been asked.

I see you have got some feedback on your website regarding NocoDB after production deployment by some companies, How long you folks have been developing NocoDB? Were you using your personal funds for development?

All the best, Hope NoCoDB turns out to be another successful dual-licensed startup.
This is correct, manual calls to roughjs (which is the same library as used by excalidraw afaik)

Charging for things just because you can is a capitalist mindset, however.

Besides, hospitals will never be more competitive than an oligopoly in most cases, simply because only so many are built in any given geographic area, and most people can only travel so far for medical care. There are some services the “free market” simply can’t deliver efficiently.
I used a company called worldwidemovingsolutions.com to move from Toronto to San Francisco (shipping 2 adults + 2 kids worth of stuff, plus a car). They quoted me CAD 4.8k, this was 4 years ago. They were very thorough, especially considering shipping a car across the border involves a bunch of paperwork. Took them 2 weeks to deliver, which is quite reasonable, given that Google Maps quotes it as a 39 hour car trip.

The bad: the car dashcam disappeared upon delivery (not a huge deal TBH, it was a cheap $20 one that I got it as a present from an acquaintance). Some picture frames broke (this has happened to me on pretty much every move using a company ever, and insurance won't cover it, so just be aware).

The good: I accidentally shipped my passport in one of the boxes (yes, stupid, I know) and managed to arrange to drive a rental car to their warehouse an hour outside town and get it back (so yes, they do seem to unload/reload for long distance moves for logistic reasons). No scamming/haggling/bait-and-switch shenanigans, pretty accurate quotes, thorough with paperwork. Overall, all things considered, I was pretty happy with the service.

Maybe call them and see if they would consider doing a US-only move. Indiana isn't that out of the way from Ontario, and my understanding is they have trucks all over Canada...

Another option: Last year I did a road trip (SF to Toronto - and back) and saw a lot of people driving uHaul trucks on some long stretches of road. I know from a recent in-city move that their medium size 15' trucks can fit 2 bedrooms worth of stuff. A drive from Indiana to Texas is honestly not too bad (it's two 8 hour days by car, so a bit longer with a truck). If you're on a budget and/or getting bad vibes from moving companies, it might also be worth considering.
The sources in the Wikipedia article seem to disagree with you on that. Perhaps you want to add your sources to the article and reword it with less strong language.
