I am saying they changed their minds in response to new information. It's a sign of maturity, I have no idea why we wouldn't want to say that.
Isn't that a violation of reddit's trademarks? There is a reason apps for Reddit have to brand themselves as "XYZ for Reddit".

Also, I don't quite understand why the requests have to be proxied through a server. Wouldn't implementing this in javascript to send requests directly client-side to reddit's apis be faster and more private? It's fast because it's rust is a dumb argument when you are adding an additional network hop to the latency which can't possibly be compensated for by the choice of the stack.
Nyxt is more extensible due to CL, which I like. However qutebrowser is working just fine for me so far and I didn't like how some things worked out of the box in Nyxt, and was too lazy to customize them.

What are you going to do about the actual cost of the device? You've already got an e-paper display, but you're also adding a 'laptop' style enclosure, real keyboard, and if you're storing SSH keys, you're really close to running a cut-down Linux system. That's basically a laptop, and you could get the same thing with, you know, a laptop. Have you thought about scaling down the display, keyboard, and enclosure to something palm-top sized?

Pandemics need a centralised, coordinated effort to combat. Sure, being a Libertarian is great, but unfortunately Libertairism is about the individual. You don't fight a common threat by individualism.
Take reporting done by mainstream media on cryptocurrencies with a grain of salt.

I'm not a cryptocurrency proponent, but the standard of news regarding this space is atrocious. That's why many cryptocurrency followers focus so much on Twitter.

I guess 'democratize' rolls off the tongue more easily than 'heteroligocratize'.
The probably won't be relevant to most people here, but one book that changed how I approach my work (as a physician) was "Sapira's Art & Science of Bedside Diagnosis". It goes beyond the basics of physical diagnosis and delves into the history and statistics of various physical diagnostic techniques. It even describes a few low-tech techniques and skills which have been forgotten in the US medical system because of high-tech (and more expensive) imaging or lab testing regimens.

Incidentally, I found this book referenced in this article: "Why Should Doctors Read Medical Books?" by Dr. Eric Cassell [0]

As someone who set up a Chivo wallet from outside of El Salvador last night, I knew these comments were going to be highly negative and schadenfreude-ic. I'm going to ignore all of it and dive right into the experience of the app itself.

Chivo's servers went offline temporarily in the morning in order to fix some bugs and add more capacity, according to tweets from the president. As far as major software product launches outside of Silicon Valley go, having your product work smoothly for millions of people on day one was unlikely, but within a few hours all was working.

This is the first high profile app to come from El Salvador, and I thought the app itself worked better than expected. It was the smoothest onboarding experience I've seen so far in a legal financial app, ever. El Salvador has a national ID called a DUI (Documento Unico de Identidad). When you first open the app, you type in your ID number and date of birth. Then you scan the front of your DUI card, the back, and take a selfie. You wait a bit for it to validate and then you're done. It knows your name already, there is no email/account registration, there are no address forms or weird credit check challenge questions to fill out. Easier than coinbase, venmo, or paypal to get onboarded and running. It takes seconds to get your $30 "drop", which did fluctuate a few cents in real time throughout the evening. This really shows what's possible with a national ID system IMO. The app has basic functions to scan to send or request payments, and has instant convertibility between USD and BTC. I was able to transfer .001 BTC from a non-affiliated wallet into Chivo and it showed "recibiendo" within minutes. I know I know, not your keys not your crypto, but nobody is obligated to use it. This is the national wallet made for ease of use and friction-less for retail purchases. If any Salvadoran wants to send or receive with any other wallet they are free to do so. They are also free to not use crypto at all and keep using USD.
Lately word "serverless" is used freely on HN. Want a clickbait title? use "serverless", damn be that only 4 words later "server" is used too
The only thing missing is an IaC definition of this architecture.
Show HN: SLO-Tracker, an open-source tool to track SLO and Error budget
Hey all,

We are a small team and always struggled to track our product SLO's and Error budgets. So we wrote a small tool to track our product SLO, Error-budget, False positive incidents, and SLO burning rate. It also provides some analytics into how the team might have spent their error budget over time. This tool saved us a lot of time which we would have otherwise spent in aggregating SLO metrics from multiple places. Hope this will be helpful for some.

Currently integration with Prometheus, Pingdom, Grafana and Newrelic are supported. We are planning to add a few more integrations in the near future.

We'll be happy to get your feedback, suggestions and patches to make this a better tool for the community :)

While you may be on to something that it's not purely altruistic there's a much more important reason for that stance.

You lose out on a lot of very well educated, highly competent candidates for your workforce if you don't at least try to provide an inclusive work environment for minority groups.

So, why don't Solarpunk advocates just move to China? Seems like an ideal place with less and less capitalism over the last few years, 90% of the world's solar panel production, lots of futuristic skyscrapers.

I mean seriously. Just do it. China. Great place. Leave the grubby capitalists to fight over Europe and the USA. It sucks here right anyway?

> No one showed them how to make a stable reliable website that just runs on a single machine and handle thousands of concurrent connections.

What is a reliable website? What does this website do?

If given a static constraint, like serve 2000 requests per second with 99.999% uptime, and enough time, I'm sure you can optimize it to be as efficient as you'd like. But that's not our exercise. Bespoke, custom solutions that are not the core of the business are not solutions. Repeat that a dozen times.

MangaDex's business is not to be the most efficient website possible. Their business, I assume, is content and features for their users. They pick off the shelf technologies to do it because it's well documented, proven, and most importantly already built.

They compose these technologies to solve their business problems. Often there's a mismatch or an overlap in functionality that introduces inefficiency (complexity, cost, performance), but that's a trade-off MangaDex and many other businesses make. We can judge how poorly or well they've made some trade-offs base on their business and overall requirements.

You coming here and telling people that you can run it on a VPS ignores all of the above. And Casey has a YouTube channel where he makes a game his way I would assume because working to solve uninteresting business problems (and possibly dealing with co-workers who may pull down N project instead of building it themselves) wasn't a space he was interested in.

There's a difference between a purely technical challenge, and working with complex, interacting systems like ... people and business requirements and laws and regulations and auditing and hiring and security and who the hell maintains this system when Bob quits. Conflating the two is the root of the comments like yours, I'd think.

> It's not hard. It's just that they've never seen it and assume it's basically impossible.

I'm sorry, but who thinks only serving 2000 requests per second is hard? Or do you assume they think it's hard because you misunderstood or are unaware of their 100s of other requirements that they need to solve for in addition to serving 2000 requests per second?

I'm going on and on in this thread mainly because I'm tired of people assuming they know better than the people in the trenches making these decisions. You're assuming you're more knowledgable and skilled than them in their own problem space! They're obviously unaware that using Go to make a server would solve their problems otherwise why wouldn't they have done it?

FYI I work (and have worked) for large tech companies (think silly acronym). I'm not even in this space, as in the type of problems I face are quite different, but I can respect the authors of that article enough to nod along, shrug, and not assume I know better.
Wasn't aware of that claim of starting the open source movement! How someone ever thought they would get away with a claim as silly as that is beyond me.

He's also sold a gimmicky cryptoart NFT through Sotheby’s, contributing to and indirectly endorsing environmental destruction. He of all people should be leading by example with how to make existing and future technologies more environmentally-friendly.

Thankyou very much!
If you look closely enough you'll find that boilers are still exploding and chemical spills are still occurring. 98 people died in June from a building that simply collapsed in Florida despite ample warning signs from inspectors and regulators.

Engineering is just hard, full stop.
The cheatsheet is very handy! Thank you. I'd completely forgotten about it. I usually end up poking around Clojuredocs, but it's very unstructured and you're just hunting for a function that fits the bill.

And yeah, your analysis of functional programming paradigms in Clojure mirrors how I think of it as well. I see that a lot, how the language is really pushing you to program functionally and almost intentionally making imperative/mutable programming painful so that you don't do it :)

Now that you've explained it it does seems obvious that arrays don't work too well with immutable structures. You're right about the OCD. C++ kinda instills that in you a bit. It feels "wrong" to have sequences of the same datatype (like pixels in an image) use the same container as sequences of varying data types (like a hiccup vector). For instance cache misses are something one is used to worrying about in C++ while in Clojure it's not even on the radar

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain things - especially so deep down in a thread
I guess but I don't think it's as rational as that.

I mean you generally don't see people arguing compulsory helmets for car passengers. Even though the number of people requiring medical treatment head injuries caused by cars is orders of magnitude higher than it is for cyclists.
I'm sorry that you are downvoted, because your perception is pretty common and not completely wrong.

There are many well-documented cases where accountability failed, and brilliant people have written about it (Chomsky, Lippmann etc.).

But - and this is really important - it's not helpful to cynically assume that either everything is OK or that there is no accountability/meaning/use at all.

All of the important things in society (discussions, getting along, identification of problems, negotiating solutions) are not a state, but a process. There is accountability, but only as much as citizens and institutions manage to produce. Go ahead and help (constructively)!

The alternative to politics is (civil) war, the alternative to free media is basically the middle ages.

I simply mentioned how there have been some other browsers for a while that have an equivalent feature set, therefore this isn't so innovative.

This comment of yours also creates zero progress, so what's your point? In fact it might be even more "harmful" because it implies we should just be okay with anything because in olden times things were worse.

Yep.

Also there are many x86 and other systems where people use VMWare or something like that for "server consolidation" without going all the way out to the cloud.

The difference today though is that the guest operating system today is a "full-service" operating system such as Linux or Windows. In many of these cases the partitioning of the service could be accomplished through user id's, processes, sessions, containers, and similar facilities offered by the guest OS.
It's hilarious given that they used to charge you per CPU _for software_. You had to bring your own CPUs.

Astrophysicist Sarah Tuttle: Anti-Racism Resources
Anytime a government is unified in something, like it has been here, you should be highly skeptical. Politicians make calls for “unity” all the time and of course they do as everyone agreeing with them makes exercising power that much easier. The main objectives of any political elite/party in any form of government throughout all of history are to increase their power and to remain there. Division doesn’t mean dysfunction.

The Patriot Act was roundly supported and of course it was - it increases the political classes power across the board, legitimizing the increase for “safety”.
Both AWS and shared hosting providers run on a “F you. Pay me!” model. The difference is that small hosting resellers knew they couldn’t collect on debts while Amazon knows it can.

Fair, but there's a difference between creating tools that one may choose to opt into on an individual basis, and attempting to arbitrate truth on a societal level.
What? Don't use TikTok? Encourage kids to read a book? The train has passed on this one. Pretty sure it's considered child abuse in the lower 48 if your toddler doesn't have their own smart phone and a 24/7 internet connection. I'm only slightly exaggerating.
is that a big tree ?
Yes! True. I just tried to see what happens. Just experimenting with hacker news. Thanks for mentioning
That sounds like creating a new electron browser.
Yes although it's very unlikely that'll happen.
A BIOS is just code at the cold-boot memory location, there's no obvious reason to believe that isn't a simple extension to this project. Equally, the TRAP mechanism for I/O to terminal is not vastly different to the INT 21h mechanism, obviously much less powerful, but pretty similar to the emulation you might want to do to run DOS programs.

I don't think this is as far from a running model of an early 8- or 16-bit as you might be implying: of course emulating other hardware is more work, especially if you wanted eg graphical output or a network card or something, but the actual _interfacing_ with those components is not that difficult..
Absolutely, requiring that to leave is all sorts of fucked up. That's some combloc country-type bs. Reentry requirements are different but leaving doesnt put aussie citizens at risk so there's basically 0 justification beyond control.
I honestly can't tell if you are cynical.

Because this is exactly what is the case! We are here and can participate in these discussions, more than ever before in history.

There are limits to free discussions (i.e. if you threaten or plot to kill somebody), but these limits have never been less in any country in any time.

The subjects in that photo are significantly brighter than the small quantity of earth lights that can be seen in this photo, and so the photo on the moon would have used a much smaller aperture, for much less time.

Further, this photo was taken with the intent of capturing those stars and gases, so the camera was deliberately allowed to capture more light with a longer exposure. As a result, while the stars and gases can be seen, most of the Earth lights that can be seen in this photo are blown out -- overexposed.
Indeed, I believe/think TikTok is probably the most psychologically harmful social media app.
That scenario implies that someone has made a mistake. They forgot to turn off a service or turned on a service by accident. How does AWS know that the billing cutoff wasn't the accident? Maybe I accidently set a $20 cutoff during building my MVP instead of $200, but now that I have a paying customer I'm going to hit $100/month. AWS could disable my very first customer because I forgot to fix my billing setting.

Doing nothing is generally better from a legal liability point of view. The customer should be liable for turning services on and off.
>A status system whereby people can change their current status to deep work and therefore not be bothered?

yes, there's one in Microsoft suite. you configure some preferences and it changes your status to "Focusing / DND" for those hours everyday.

Answer: Legal ambiguity carries its own risk.

Therefore, rates in more ambiguous instruments should be higher than those in more certain ones, no?
I wouldn’t say I am cynical, merely realistic. In my opinion, it is a fool’s errand to think that accountability or unbiased news is even a possibility. It goes against the nature of the thing. An unbiased media has never been the case and never will be. Full stop.

Thus it is better to recognize that no single entity will ever be truly honest and to instead read a variety of sources and come to your own conclusions.

"End of capitalism" today is what "end of feudalism" was in the 1700s, an idea that could only be entertained by unworldly weirdos. Until it happened.

Human nature can't be changed, but I sincerely hope capitalism isn't the best we've got.
> should we therefore never expand the capabilities of our tools?

Yes that's exactly what the luddites are arguing in favor of, rolling back progress, and dramatically stripping away capabilities. They don't consider any of it to be a net positive, they don't think of it as being progress.

It's not specific to JavaScript, it's far broader than that. It's an ethos.

In my observation they also typically want to go back to not having graphical user interfaces. They like a nice command line interface as a way of life. It seems silly to stop there though. The computer should be gotten rid of just the same to be philosophically consistent.
> take advantage of current capabilities'.

The problem is that, usually, turning off "current capabilities" leads to a faster loading, lower distraction, less ad-contaminated, less janky, and all around better experience. In an effort to squeeze every ad dollar out of the eyeballs crossing the page, sites are using modern capabilities as weapons against their users.

If sites continue to work js-free, there's a simple switch to enable to improve my browsing experience.

And it even defeats the anti-adblock crap reasonably often.
They have realtime insights into how much read/write capacity or IOPS happens on the majority of their services. Their throttling has millisecond resolution. They have no problem giving you realtime insight into when you need to push the magic button to spend more money and increase your write/read capacities. If billing isn't realtime, it's due to sheer laziness or malfeasance (plausible deniability, my guess), because the data is there.
I'm sure the TOS says "terms and conditions may change at any time in the future". Always is a trademark and not meant to convey any future services.
If you want more information on this from former president Obama himself, read The Promise Land. He discusses this issue and he narrates the book.
Can't say, not using Chrome, but I wouldn't be surprised. It does seem like a no brainer to have in a browser, along with tab groups (which qutebrowser currently seems to lack).
They can be the same people. A mentality of "delete the things I don't like, but you better not touch the things I do like"
Always fun seeing LC3 pop up on HN. Well done!

That was my first thought. I bet most in VA have EZPass. I am sure it's because they're scared shitless of losing the tax revenues, and want to collect on every road, which doesn't work well with the transponder approach.
Do you know why it was risk free (to you)? Because of government regulations and government guarantees. There’s no such thing as a risk-free investment. Your investment risk was borne by your state and federal government.
> That's why suddenly so many care about the rights of minority groups, too.

Yes, as we all know, that idea was invented in 2004. Before that, it was unheard of to worry about the rights of minorities. The founding fathers of the US were famously not concerned about a tyranny of the majority.
