Zwift is great. I've been on it about three months and it really feels like the most productive training I've ever done. It's hard to get a decent ride in where I live but zwift is always available. They've managed to gamify real-world performance and it's surprisingly fun. There's a lot of different things to do in the game.

But be warned - it's a bit pricey to get up and running. All in, I'm sure I've spent at least $2k (USD) on various equipment and accessories and it's also $20/month for the service. To me it's worth it for sure, but running (for example) is very nearly free. Just make sure you think indoor cycling is something you'd be willing to stick with.
Not sure why you're being downvoted so heavily. Nothing you said was wrong.

As per my other comment, I don't tend to agree that PWA is a decent alternative but that's a different point altogether.

PWAs do exist on iOS, as you correctly point out.

> For what it's worth, I actually think it's a good sign that the CoC is equally enforced against a drafter of the CoC

Agreed. The real issue I have with the way this was handled was it took the person who originally submitted the formal complaint to publish that formal complain for there to be any transparency into the process. Further, they updated the CoC hours after this event with language to cover what appears to be the reason he was banned. That's not very good optics. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of a committee being able to arbitrarily change and enforce rules post hoc.
I liked how after showing all their environmental credentials, they released a phone which is basically the same thing as last year and none of their devices allow easy battery changes and they actively make it harder for third parties to do it.
I remember discussions back the day between Linux and Windows proponents. I was clearly in the Windows camp, seeing Linux fans as, well, bizarre sometimes arrogant pseudo programmers. That changed, now that Linux is probably the last OS I can run without a cloud account easily. Heck, I'd even pay for it!

Back the day I was a gamer, the main reason why Linux never really was an option. Later for work, it was Windows all the way for obvious reasons. Privately I am on Ubuntu now, along with LibreOffice. Won't go back, Windows turned into a major PIA when I tried to run different Teams and Office accounts not linked to the Windows 10 license due to home schooling and two kids. Gone were the days that a license key was all you needed. There is still a Windows boot partition, company hardware is Windows anyway.

The only thing I have a hard time getting rid of is Excel. I am so used to that...
The Economist is the most honest and relatively unbiased news source I could find. They do explicitly lean towards classical liberalism, but the reporting still seems objective enough.

As a German these are securities that basically every working citizen here has.

Medical expenses -> health insurance

Some drunk driver T-bones you and totals your car -> liability insurance is compulsory

Lose your job and spend a year or two unemployed -> unemployment insurance is compulsory, you get 60 percent of what you made for one year

House burns down and you still owe the majority of your mortgage -> uhg, got us here, we can't afford houses but there is private insurance for that

So even though I pay hefty taxes (or because I do), I still end up much richer than a developer in the US. In theory I don't even need to save up money for retirement, as the general pension fund has me covered (though with the current demographic development I don't fully trust that).

So I probably don't have a good reason to give up my morality of more money. Have been never tempted though.
That's getting close, and it doesn't look good for bitcoin, but the estimates of visa's energy useage are from a visa published report, and they seem to omit the energy usage needed to sustain employees. Of course, the bitcoin energy estimates also omit the energy usage for employees, but it's easy for me to imagine those are dwarfed by mining costs, and it's not easy for me to imagine something similar for visa.

I was going through the "new" posts section of HN. I waded through 5-6 pages of it and saw many good posts that just get lost into the plethora of posts that are made on HN everyday. There are lot of good posts on HN that do not make it in front of lot of HN readers. If you have to solve this issue(either from HN platform perspective or from a reader's perspective, or both), then what would you do?

What makes you think Gab is any different from Facebook in this regard (referring to the platforms' role in the examples of violence in the ancestor comments)? Gab wasn't created to host illegal content, but to allow all strictly legal content. Neither Facebook nor Gab is willingly participating in anything that is published on their platform, because they are platforms, not publishers.
I agree with this, but I would place a larger emphasis on Breaking News being something one should actively avoid. Unless it's a 9/11-level event, or you are in imminent danger (which is highly unlikely), you don't need to know about it until the facts are out.
I think it's worth looking at the leaked emails from when Google acquired YT.

They didn't acquire it because they thought their tech was great or that they had a great product. They acquired it because a) the team was local and b) because sequoia invested in it.

I was a weapons engineering officer for the Dutch navy for 14 years; I'm well aware of the mechanisms involved.

First of all, a SM-2 will not use the flight path you describe as they tend to "dive down" on a sea skimming missile. But even the shorter range Sea Sparrow missiles that do behave as you describe use multiple guidance phases. In the early and mid-phase guidance phases, the radar reflections from the target missile will not be strong enough for the relatively small receiver in the missile, so the system must depend on midcourse guidance updates (little bit to the right, little bit up, etc) from the combat management system on board the launching vessel to navigate to a "close enough" location from where the sensors on board the missile can acquire the target. The end-phase guidance and fuse timings are quite critical, as you say, but they are also not really under command of the CMS but rather done by embedded systems on board the missile. Generation of the mid-course guidance updates is not nearly as time critical and won't suffer much from a 1 ms pause. The error in location estimation of the target due to sensor imperfections (limited angular resolution, clock jitter, athmospheric effects, etc etc) will be way larger than the 2 meter from the GC pause.

Hate to dogpile on this but why the app?

Not trying to hate on you, genuinely curious why you chose this route. Sometimes using the tools you are most comfortable with at the time is the path to the highest short term productivity.
I really like Cloudflare's product (and even own some shares!), but their fraud/phishing/scam-handling is an issue.

A client of mine got a fraudulent impersonation/phishing-claim (completely ridiculous, the page in question is passive and contains no login ability, no 3rd party scripts besides GA) and CF automatically banned that subpage of the domain. You can appeal to their Trust & Safety team, but they either don't exist or are severely understaffed. It's been a month or so without any feedback, on the forums, people are talking about waiting for six months. Tech support will only "escalate" the issue to T&S where issues go to die.

It's a great way to boot competitors though: file a claim, their visitors will get a scary "Warning: Suspected Phishing Site Ahead!" page they need to actively dismiss, and the site owner can't fix it short or migrating away from CF. I'm guessing enterprise will buy you a direct line to someone who can do something though.
I had to double check it. Backslash is called “reverse solidus” in unicode

Reference counting deals with operations that have constant time, which I think puts it in a different category than what people normally view as GC.
(Just a pile of self-indulgent reminiscing)

I sometimes wish I'd heard of Linux a few years earlier. I didn't graduate high school until 1995, and didn't know much about Usenet until I got to college. Once I did, I learned there was a whole world of interesting, and disgustingly weird/creepy "stuff" on the internet.

Anyway, sometime around 1996/97 I started using Linux (dual booting Win95 because I wasn't ready to try to live there), for all my programming assignment work as the options were to go to campus or dial up over the modem pool (not enough modems!) hoping to get a phone line to do my homework.

Linux was a lot closer to the environment we were coding in, though DJGPP had helped me out a fair amount before I went to a more Unixy environment.

We used a single RS/6000 running some version of AIX for email, usenet, and programming assignments across a student body of nearly 6000 of us kids... What a time! We made unwise use of telnet, "talk", finger, even learned to do so across the internet to other Unix machines we found. In our spare time we played Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3d, Descent. We played around with token ring networks, 10base-T ethernet, GNU Hurd, FreeBSD.

The closest I get to feel to those nostalgic days is messing around with Plan 9 and 9front nowadays. So happy it's been MIT licensed (just this year), and Inferno also.

> Applications also have to listen for messages that indicate a dpi change

That is how a well behaved 'DPI Aware' application should work.

However, even for those badly written DPI applications that don't listen for those changes, the work around is to first make the required DPI changes and then restart those badly written DPI applications, as they will then pick up those DPI changes on startup.
So that's why I so much enjoy packing the dishwasher and optimizing how I arrange all the items.
Interesting....
Unless bitcoin can credibly be a total replacement for traditional finance this isn't really a meaningful comparison though.

Perhaps bitcoin or some other crypto can serve as a currency in a sense, but you'd still need financial institutions to do things like write loans and manage other assets.
I think that's the point of launching only with iOS. the App Store helps manage subscriptions, so theoretically there's less friction when it's time to ask the user to pay.
I agree that the walkman got very little credit in historical importance. But even the walkman wasn't that widespread; on a train in the 80s or 90s really only a small number of people was using one, as far as I remember. Actual significant changes would have been if, say, an important musical genre was born out of it, or a social movement was enabled by walkmen which is not the case I think.

That's why I said "broad adaptation". These days there are situations where everone in a room is looking into the smartphone. So, the iPhone as a coincidental almaganation of already existing, maturing technologies happened to be in the right place at the right time to be considered as a historic turningpoint, without taking anything away from the pre-existing feature phones wiht J2EE app support.

Ah, if only this was fully available ~ 4 months ago.

I transitioned my recipe app with ~ 80,000 images from Cloudinary to a combination of Backblaze B2 + Bunny.net a few months ago. I heavily use the resizing and optimizing features.

It's saved me a ton of money, but if I could have used B2 + Cloudflare with their 0 bandwidth alliance, I could have saved more, I think - haven't done the math though.

In the grand scheme of things, though, I've worked with Bunny now and love the interface, and performance. The one time I contacted support, I spoke 1 on 1 with , I believe, the founder of Bunny. He was cool.

Cloudflare is doing some killer things, excited for that. But glad to see we have small name alternatives to everything (S3 to B2, Cloudflare to Bunny, etc) that can compete on price and functionality.

Good stuff, though! More options the better!
Of course Apple is going to play by the rules of the jurisdictions they want to sell their products in. That's why their reassurances that they would never bend to government pressure on their CSAM plans were so worthless.

IMHO, cooperating with an authoritarian regime in this way should be illegal, sort of like a sanctions violation. Cook and Pachai should go to jail for this. That consequence might clarify their thinking a little.

The “good” news in my experience is that they don’t seem to usually get much larger than 15mb, I’m guessing it’s the wall you hit once most of the standard library is already included. It’s certainly not enviable, but I have absolutely seen sites with an equal volume of JS, so it’s not unheard of.

When I was in the south it was very common to only get paid salary and insurance. The one company that did give me equity gave me $10k. There's nothing wrong with what the founders did.

That said, I came from Texas. When we started seeing a flood of people from high income regions moving to Texas and driving up home (and other area costs) I realized high inflation states had beat the system. People that lived decently there were royalty when they moved to Texas. I eventually moved to California, and my RSU plan is what made my savings go from $0 to on track within 3 years.

If I can say anything to founders in the Midwest and South: pay RSUs. It's the difference between retirement and spending your entire life working.
Pros: The APIs, while often frustrating, are better and more complete than any of the other cloud providers. Super rich variety of services, which again, are more mature than competitors. In general, I'd say that AWS is ~18 months ahead of their competition. That's over a decade in Scott McNealy's "Internet yrs = dog years" aphorism.

Cons: It's glaringly obvious that all AWS products are developed by independent teams with little coordination or style guide enforcement. Documentation ranges from excellent to completely unusable, which does not help the fact that AWS services in general has a far steeper learning curve than it should. (Security, for example is a nightmare unless you spend a LOT of time leaning crap almost no one should ever have to know.) Billing is non-transparent and far better billing tools are available for free through AWS partners, but effectively only to big companies.

The biggest negative by far, though, is this: AWS can no longer be trusted to act as an even-handed infrastructure provider. They have proven they are willing to persecute and try to kill customers who do things on AWS that Amazon judges politically incorrect. (Gab, Parler, and others less political - Until a couple of years ago, Amazon's politics did not cross into AWS. Those days are gone, and if you don't toe the Seattle Socialist line, you ARE toying with the risk of deplatforming.) In my mind, that means that only a fool would bet his business on staying in AWS' good graces over the long haul, especially if they're in industries like say, oil, beef, or manufacturing.
The JavaScript Challenge pages only run on dynamic assets, and so won’t impact image assets served.

Beyond that:

• You can turn down the sensitivity of the challenge pages: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170056-U...
• Since Cloudflare Pages is fully hosted on us, we can soak the DDoS and don’t have to worry about letting things through to origin infrastructure. Benefit of serving directly from the edge :-)

You mentioned pay, the pay at these places is terrible. I got an Engineering Manager offer for a company I worked with years and years ago, the top end of their budget was $90k. For the manager. Devs (there were five) were making $30-45k. At that level of pay you're simply not going to get good people. Even if you get one or two who are decent engineers, they're not sticking around when most of the team isn't that great. WLB is important but there are plenty of places paying $80-100k for mid-levels in LCOL/MCOL areas where a 40 hour week is the max.
Interesting. I'm a software developer and I've only recently become aware that I seem to be deficient in this area. For example, I can imagine the concept of particular person's face (shape, features, etc.), but there's not really a visual aspect to it in my mind's eye. Of course, it's kind of hard to figure out if what you imagine is what somebody else imagines.
Frankly, that's the company's problem. Personally, it's much more annoying when startups name themselves with intentionally misspelled words. Optimizely, Musical.ly, come to mind right away, but there are loads of others.

" This ultimately factored into my decision to leave, as it never appeared I would have a personal stake in the company."

You had a 'stake' it was just in terms of other kinds of benefits.

If you join a company after it's well-established, then for the most part, unless it's an 'extremely high growth company' - your stock package isn't going to be worth that much, it's just part of comp.

If you joined MC several years after founding, even if they did give you equity, it would be a bit of a nice bonus, and that is all.
