While I agree that Node's ecosystem is not the best, it's what we have in the frontend world.

If you're working on a Node-based service or React app, you already have to deal with Node and its package ecosystem. Adding a couple of extra MB (or even KB, depending on package reuse) on top of your existing chain of dependencies is a tiny con to the huge benefit of not having to do logic in Bash :)

Lambda has currently a limit of 15 minutes as far as I can remember.
I was considering it for a very cost efficient way to scale our multiplayer backend in VRWorkout (dynamically spin up room servers as needed) since it all fits in a single python module. But with the 15 minute limit it's not an option.

I would not even need data syncing since it talks to the main server and does not have state. But it would need to be reachable on a public IP

> So what would a general purpose language look like if it took these ideas to heart?

Rather than expressing SQL in each language, I'd rather mix SQL with whatever language I am using.

There are simple affordances that can happen at the tooling level to make SQL a first-class part of other languages. E.g. instead of having to use strings for SQL fragments, or 'change language' with special preambles, the language and tools could seamlessly work out that SELECT is entering an SQL mode and so on.

This brings SQL into the code-base in a much better way.

I Agree. I think a lot of nerds start out a lot more naïve and idealistic. It seems the further along you go the more you distrust anyone saying something works out of the box without a good explanation of why as you have been burnt before.

>This looks like a problem of "flat hierarchy" - there's no one responsible for anything.

Yep, and it happens all the times, a classic example in construction are fan-coils:

1) the plumbers have in their contract the installation of the (new) fancoils for heating/air conditioning, they mount them and connect them to water lines.

2) the electricians bring nearby the electric line to power them.

3) none of the two have explicitly in their contract the chore of actually connecting the power to the fan-coil, the plumbers say that it is electrician's work, the electrician's say that it is included in plumbers work as they only have to bring the line.
Helicopters are very expensive to operate, because they rely heavily on parts that cannot be allowed to fail. Hence those parts and the maintenance on them is very expensive.

A helicopter is an inherently unstable machine that wants to crash.

Back in the 70's people would design and build radio controlled helicopters. They'd wreck them constantly while trying to learn to fly them. Being able to hover one was quite an accomplishment.

The last point - 3 years of income - is a huge stumbling block for so many (myself included) but it is a trivial hurdle for many VCs. Is there a VC model that says "seed capital for many, and low continuous returns from 30% of investments"

It's good customer service on one hand, terrible customer service on the other hand, in that there should be ways to prevent this from happening in the first place.

PyTorch in Production: Faster Inference with TRTorch
Key figures in US military and US leadership need to be held accountable. Same as with CEOs, if you only punish the organization and not specifically the leaders, there is no disincentive to doing it again.

Clearly the US is exempt from the war crimes laws, and that needs to change. But it would require leaders of other major powers/countries to push for this.

But… this will never happen because almost no leader wants to be held accountable, and thus they will never vote against their peers.
I imagine it's two separate inverters, a solar inverter that cannot function without grid power and a separate battery inverter. The two feeding the house circuit via a break-before-make transfer switch reduces the chances of accidentally back-feeding the grid because the isolation switch didn't work.
PHP is usually easier to scale because it just a matter of how many webservers. e.g. apache or nginx, you choose to deploy.
This also possible with other platforms, but can be a bit trickier to get right.

For large PHP setups it is usually the number of database connections that is the limiting factor, however that is why historically the replicated MySQL databases was such a good fit for PHP, thus only creating a limit for writes on the master.
Show HN: Imba 2.0 – The JavaScript Alternative by Scrimba (YC S20)
Probably because I've been blocking basically all advertising for years on every device I own?

Cannot respond to that which I do not see.
I'm Sindre, CTO at Scrimba (S20). We're about to launch a _major_ overhaul of Imba, the programming language we use for everything here (both frontend and backend). Imho the best frameworks are the ones that are extracted from real projects trying to solve real problems. Imba is like that, but at a language-level. It has been through countless iterations over the past 7 years, striving to be the perfect language for developing web applications.

We have added tons of cool things like touch modifiers (https://imba.io/events/touch-events), inline styles (https://imba.io/css/syntax), optional types and great tooling that integrates deeply with TypeScript. With this version we feel that we are very close to our vision for what Imba should be. In other words; it is finally ready for public consumption. I'd wholeheartedly advice you to look into it and give it a whirl if you are interested in web development :)

Abby Martin from Empire Files made a beautiful video about the war in Afghanistan:

I thought this is the standard way to do HVAC in large buildings: you pull in and condition the outside air, push it through ducts ("supply flow") to every room in the building, then collect the "used" air through separate ducting ("return flow") and pull it to the basement, reclaim some of the energy, and then push it out.

(Or maybe it was? It's increasingly common to see office buildings with lots of AC units on the side walls - but I suspect that's HVAC equivalent of Conway's law: where every floor may have a different owner, it makes less sense to invest in central HVAC.)

Other than ensuring heat pumps are involved at entry/exit stage, I'm not sure how you could make it more fuel-conservative. Some wins can be had if you put enough smarts in the ducts, but overall, there's a price you have to pay for near-total control over the air.

Also, the article seems to be implying that ducts were (still are!) made from metal because it was cheap, and nobody cared about energy leakage. But it's not that - the ducts are made from metal because of friction. Over the length of the ducting, inner wall roughness adds up into static pressure your blowers will have to fight - so you want to minimize that, to save on energy use and wear.

He specifically said second hand vs new EV.

The carbon footprint of an ICE vehicle is heavily weighted towards burning its fuel (and transport/extraction of that fuel). The maintenance you mention during use is actually another area where EVs save both money, energy and carbon.

The carbon ratio tilts towards manufacturing as cars get better mpg, and EV have the equivalent mpg of 100+, but at the same time the total reduces since cars are on the road for about a decade on average.

At a societal level a shift to EVs (but also busses, bikes etc) is clearly better, but even at a personal level, a new car with better mpg than the existing one (so especially but not exclusively an EV) will pay off for that individual's carbon footprint.

So the best way to get there with market forces is predictably rising gas taxes and lowering incentives building up to a total ban. Which is what most countries are doing.

The classic is Dying Earth by Jack Vance, but my favorite of the series is Eyes of the Overworld, and you'd be fine to read that first since the novels of the series are self-contained.

The Threat of Voltage Glitching: A Case Study on Nvidia Tegra X2 SoCs
The masses do not support the Taliban. The speed at which they took over is not a reflection of the support they have on the ground but more a function of the fear they instil in people. My family and many others fled to Kabul when fighting started in Mazar-e-sharif, people are terrified. You have to remember that the Taliban were in power for quite some time prior to the US, images of public executions and floggings are still fresh in our minds. You'd struggle to find anyone supporting these barbarians.

What does "DX" stand for in "tons of DX improvements"?
Oh, come on!

Geoff’s article on TCAM exhaustion is almost 10 years old. No BGP router in the default free zone has had a 512k route limit in years. Modern routers typically scale to millions of routes.

The incident in question was the result of misconfiguration and/or ISPs trying to run old routers past their usable life.

The whole thing was completely avoidable and not related to IPv4 vs IPv6 forwarding performance.

As to the IPv6 latency article, it can best be summarized as IPv6 sometimes has lower latency than IPv4, except when it doesn’t.

In no shape, way or form does the article claim that IPv6 forwarding performance is better than IPv4 forwarding performance.

There’s some hand waving about NAT, but it also notes that increasing the number of NAT levels improved latency!

The simplest explanation is that the differences come down to different routing policies in IPv4 and IPv6. Thus it depends on where you stand as to what you see.
> In Germany only 18% of those asked had never left the country.

I think comparing "left the country" between US and Europe doesn't make much sense. While the cultural differences between countries are obviously bigger, distance-wise, "never left the country" in Europe is more akin to "never left the state" in the US.

Inflation is just a redistribution of wealth from cash savers to borrowers.

Ever wonder why most economists consider 3% inflation healthy, and don't like 0% inflation at all? There's a reason: it's a way to nudge the wealthy to put their cash to work, and to loosen the the handcuffs of people who are unproductive because they're burdened by debt.

WIth a small amount of inflation, if you hoard too much (univested) cash, inflation will cause that pile of money to slowly evaporate. If you struggle with too much debt for too long, your salary will eventually inflate enough to make it a little more manageable. Too much inflation is bad because it makes long-term financial planning difficult and creates some instability, but a little bit of inflation is much better than none at all.
Gulf Stream is nearing a Critical point of Collapse
Here's my opinion as a casual person who watched a few youtube videos on this.

The only one we have full agency/control over is ourselves. Everyone individually will do what they want, so you can't really change society the way YOU want. The best thing is to understand yourself and how you fit into the world. If you do what is best for yourself, and by extension if you are a good person then YOU try to do what's best for society in your view.

I'll give you an example. Yesterday I got myself some fast food and I offered a homeless person my fries when he asked if I got anything. When I pulled the fries out of my bag, he asked me "Really bro? I'm not taking it after you touched them" Considering the guy had no mask on (we have a mask mandate in my city) and I tried to be nice, what am I supposed to do, feel bad for myself? I was willing to give up my fries, but hey if he doesn't want them that's not my problem. I'm not going to force him to take them, nor am I gonna get worked up over it.

In my mind, I'd like to give someone food. But they have an expectation as well, and there are times when I can't meet them. It happens, and I'm still able to rationalize my good intent.

Unless I'm misunderstanding I'm pretty sure I didn't hear anything to be a jerk or to stop being empathic towards people. However, given the track record of the ancient Romans in regard to their cruelty, maybe that plays a factor in why it appears so cold?

While it is certainly possible that a Microsoft-managed network places additional restrictions on what addresses are used, there are several good reasons to not to create unique "snowflake" situations for individual applications.

There might be silent assumptions everywhere what domain addresses answer to, in log collection, in monitoring, in address management tools. Simple things like domain search strings becomes harder. Any non trivial enterprise is going to have a ton of these (semi-)automated tools that your address will end up in.

It also carries the risk of complicating future work. The company might merge with another company. Or imagine a mandate where all communication will need to switch to TLS, only to discover there are addresses used under other domains internally.
