Strongly disagree.

- I would never spend $400 for a 24" display, nor $400 for keyboard + mouse + cooling $400. I mainly use computers for HPC, so that's a totally unnecessary spending to me, you can get all those for just around $200-$300, so your estimate is unnecessarily inflated by at least $500-$600.

- You can't pair 5950x with DDR5 RAM. If future devices are on table, consider comparing against Alder Lake S CPUs, which beat M1 Max in all metrics. You can pair 5950x with DDR4 only, and 64GB DDR4 RAM prices start from just $215 (which is more than $500 less than what you quote).

- The GPU and DDR5 prices you are quoting are not their normal vendor prices (GPU shortage + virtually no RAM vendors started selling DDR5 and no CPUs or motherboards that can utilize them are sold as of today). MSRP price for RTX 3060 is $329, which is $400 less than the current unstable price. Remember that this pricing did not affect OEMs in the same manner, so you can buy computers from Dell/IBM/etc without inflated GPU prices.

- Not to mention the elephant in the room of lacking software support. Why willingly become vendor locked into using ARM Mac OS? Moreover, HPC software relies on Intel CPUs with Intel MKL and even using AMD's CPU can cripple performance. With an ARM CPU or x86/amd64 translation layer, that's far worse (which might also apply to gaming).

- Apple's offering still is a weaker computer in terms of raw hardware performance (especially on multi-core loads, by a large margin) for $500 (or $1000 if we cut luxurious spending on monitors, cooling, and an additional ~$1000 if we replace your DDR5 guesstimate with actually DDR4 prices and use MSRP price for the GPU) more by your estimation. The desktop RTX 3060 is also a better GPU.

So, why should I pay $2000 more for a weaker computer? (with broken-at-best HPC software/Linux support, no less!) That's just nonsense.
This has been repeatedly stated for nearly 6 years if not longer. You can bet most on HN commenting on hardware dont even read Anandtech. Which really lower the chance of having any quality discussions.

That code is config. Zero-config would be that those middlewares are enabled by default, so you have to do zero things to enable it. I guess maybe there is a difference in understanding the terminology. I always understood zero-config to be that you'd have to do nothing to get that particular feature, but maybe zero in zero-config is referring to something else.
Is it surprising to you that not everyone celebrates Christmas?

> I like knowing that when I message someone on Signal, it's for their eyes only.

That's not how it works at all. E2E encryption only guarantees that your message is securely delivered to the other party, not that the other party can't do as they please with it. Signal messages are still stored in plain text on the end devices. They can still be backed up to the cloud (when I used Signal, all my chats were). Hell, photos/screenshots can still be taken of the app. If you want total security, you have to trust the delivery AND the end user. Bridging doesn't really change any of that.
The solution is pretty simple - get Zuck and his mindlessly ambitious crew of FB execs trapped in the metaverse as soon as possible.

A basic program on loop, can tell them every few seconds how brilliant, good and universally loved they are, how their net worth is growing faster than the big bang generates matter, and how without what comes out of their 6 inch chimp brains the universe itself might stop existing. That hopefully is enough to satisfy their needs.
Re attack vector: the outcome here will just be the same as a vanilla js + html website won't it?

Or are you saying that reverting to that mean takes away some of the security gained from SSR?

Since this is an optional opt in that mirrors current usage it doesn't seem like a bad thing...
I'm pretty sure my server at home is less secure since I'm not a professional security expert. I can recognize that I'm dumb and going to make a lot of mistakes.

The disadvantage of having your server at your home is that you don't know if it's compromised from day one. I may never even find out and just fool myself the entire time.
It is definitely an awkward design choice, but image services often generate the images on demand, by having one and creating the otherones at request + caching. A static build does not have the capacity to cache images, unless it generates a really large number of them during build!

Furthermore, aligning on a definition is only half the battle. If you create some arbitrary line (100+ = public), forums will break up in into many groups of 99. Or it will switch to viral messages that are forwarded in 1:1 threads. There is a the fundamental asymmetry between bad actors (who are highly sophisticated) and regular users (who are generally unsophisticated) that makes it really hard to roll out tools / rules that have both high precision and high recall.

The retinal scan is used to issue a e-ticket (identical for everyone) which allows you to create an account and then the scan is immediately discarded.

The scan is in no way tied to your account at any time.

Many of the comments here would be better informed by reading how this process works. There are issues to discuss, but a lot of what's in these threads has nothing to do with the actual workings of the project.

Seems to me the parent is suggesting the same amount of open source code but less copyleft.
To be fair to PIO, when I used another chip (an ESP8266) the entire process was plug and play. Just install the VS Code extension, follow the wizard, and you can start with an Arduino-compatible system loop that just works. Adding libraries is easy and intuitive, as is keeping them up to date.

If you need to manually configure the tool for your devices, well... I haven't figured out how to configure it for my ESP32C3 yet, so that's not as easy as I'd hoped.
Also Windows has a reasonably decent Terminal app nowadays (Windows Terminal).

In $JOB I generally just use Windows Terminal + scoop.sh to install stuff like grep, etc
The author here is exactly right for the majority of cases. Everyone trying to spin it any other way is delusional. Society is difficult and humans vary greatly – not everyone is able to succeed. Many aspects of society are also competitive – some people will be winners and others will be losers. Losers turn to heroin because 5 years of shooting up and then dying seems like a better option than 60 years of living with the shame of mediocrity and the struggles of daily life.

It's not a function of an inadequate welfare state or de-industrialization or inadequate mental health treatment or any other social malaise. It's just life in a world of abundant resources where 99% of people are living at the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs. The only way to avoid this is to put people into an environment where the struggle for survival eclipses the desire to be happy.

I'm sure there are 20% of addicts who fall into this accidentally or would be able to live a happy post-heroin life, but for many people it basically makes sense and there's nothing to be done.

Is there something similar for macOS?
I'm doing something like this with CRDTs + RDBMS (POC with sqlite).

The closest thing is this:

https://munin.uit.no/bitstream/handle/10037/22344/thesis.pdf

There it split each record in a stream of CRDTs values. I found (quickly!) that it could cause serious violations of business logics if done as-is. Now, I trying to threat the record as whole. Still could have issues for multi-record/table logical integrity, so I have tough in build a "transaction markers" so your stream of changes are:

Start
ADD: T1.Row1...
ADD: T2.Row1...
End

So you don't partially apply a change.

P.D: If interested and know Rust we can talk!
The issue I have with this, is there isn't a good solution currently. If you can afford it means that it's only for the wealthy, closing doors for people based on their parents income. That's not right.

But it also shouldn't cost so damned much.

Show HN: QuickServ – User-friendly web server
Hey HN! This is an exciting launch for us - it's the first time we're really showing off our new stateless authentication mechanism.

The debate of stateless JWTs vs stateful auth is well-storied on HN, and we frequently checked this thread to make sure we were checking all the boxes:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21783303

We think stateless JWTs are technically better (e.g. much faster with more-than-acceptable security for most use cases), but it's always been too big of a hassle to setup the short-lifetime that's necessary for security.

So we endeavored to build a product around "stateless auth done right." We handle all the refresh mechanisms for you - it's completely abstracted away. If the 60 second lifetime is too long for you, we still provide an easy way to drop down to stateful auth against our API.

At present, this authentication mechanism is strictly bundled with our User Management product that includes sign-up and sign-in flows and a user profile page. One thing we're interested to learn: is there any demand for a standalone "session management" product where you bring your own user management solution?

Thanks!
It's not clear, did FB steal that formula from traditional media, or was it the other way around? Or was the discovery of the value of extreme simultaneous? Traditional media loves hyperbole, half-truths, etc. Whatever it takes to drive revenue.

FB and its ilk are not benevolent public services. They maximizes engagement and in turn drives ad revenue. Full stop. Let's not be naive. There should be no surprises about their biz model and drive.

That's not giving Big Tech a free pass. But we all know - or should - these services are not our friend. They have a purpose and that's to maximize shareholder value.

And of course, Jeff would prefer the dirty spotlight to be on Mark. So let's not ignore the source either. The pandemic has served Jeff well. Let's not talk about that.
I feel like that's a chicken and egg issue, though. People who work in the humanities know they aren't going to make much, but they 100% will make more than if they try to get a job in the humanities without college. Most require a bachelor degree, at a minimum, regardless of salary.

So what's the solution there?

It's possible to say racist things without intending to be racist. In fact, it's extremely likely given how much of American culture is pretty firmly grounded in a racist history; a lot of common sayings started as racially-charged stereotypes. So these racist sayings are propagated forward by people innocently unaware of their origins and implied meaning.

Whether one, having learned that history, changes one's choice of language or shrugs, says "I didn't invent the term so its use is not my problem," and charges forward will influence the kind of company one keeps in our society.

I made this because I hate web development.

Don't get me wrong, I love that once something is on the web, anyone can effortlessly use it on their phone or computer – my most successful projects have been web apps. But I hate that you need to be knowledgeable about both the latest developments and 20 years of historical context to build anything.

QuickServ is inspired by CGI of old: requests are passed on standard input, and responses are passed on standard output. Unlike CGI, QuickServ is designed to work without the user ever touching the command line.

Using this model, QuickServ makes it easy to build web apps, regardless of experience. It delivers ease of use at the expense of speed and security, which makes it powerful for prototyping and hackathons. Check out the examples to see how effortlessly it can be used to bring bad ideas to life. Such bad ideas include (but are not limited to) web applications built in languages like bash and x86 assembly.

Since the main goal of the project is usability, that is the main aspect of the project on which I am looking for feedback. Are the examples clear? Are the error messages clear? Is it easy to set up and install? That kind of thing.

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

The costs are artificially inflated. There's plenty of jobs and offices that do not need to exist and do not benefit people. General classes are overwhelmingly a waste of time and are not demonstrated to educate. Accreditation is a scam that's incredibly outdated and ineffective at ensuring fair instruction. There's wide variety in instructors, some designed to fail students because they believe themselves far more important than they are.

We need to strip unions, fire a lot of people, delete and re-impliment accreditation, and in the end it's probably better to turn the brick buildings into a shopping mall, it would have better economic effect.

Like remote work in COVID, we can get it if the government forces actually do it.

Which version of the OED includes the phrase "without favouritism or discrimination" in the definition of "fairness"? The one I have access to, oed.com (OED Third Edition, December 2013; most recently modified version published online September 2021) doesn't include the phrase "without favouritism or discrimination" - its full definition of "fairness" (meaning 6) is "Honesty; impartiality, equitableness, justness; fair dealing. In quot. c1450: sound judgement, good sense."

I'm not an expert on "radical socialist, communist, CRT-type Instagram accounts", but I'd have thought they would be more into equality rather than fairness, e.g. everyone gets the same pay irrespective of how much effort they put in or the quality of results.
The dominant Arm core in the world is a Cortex-M (or Cortex-R) which are single-core. They are 99% of the time on a die with far less <512K SRAM, and run an RToS or baremetal.

> make the claim that electrical heating is wasteful or expensive, even accounting for edge cases?

I suspect you two are talking past each other. In many/most parts of the world, the electricity you get at your house was generated by burning a fuel at a remote (to you) plant. In that case, you would have been far better off burning the same fuel at your house to generate the heat (assuming you can). Both the generation and transfer have significant losses.

It's also true that if you generate it from some other source the math changes.

The rankings in that index are highly suspect. It has Visual Basic at #6 and Classic Visual Basic as #11. Meanwhile Kotlin is down in position #38 and TypeScript at #46 beneath COBOL, PROLOG, Scratch and Logo!

It took 2-3 days (probably about an hour of browsing) before it started giving me consistently interesting things. Tiktok has been getting a lot of press lately for how good their algorithm is, and specifically how good it is compared to other social networks, presumably because they have so many more interactions to go on. The trick is that it's not entirely (or even mostly? not sure) driven by likes, it's driven by viewing time. If you don't like something, flick it away and on to the next thing.

> The whole platform seems to be just a means of getting kids hooked on porn.

I don't see anything like that anymore. You know what I see? Science teachers doing cool experiments with physics and chemicals. Makers making cool things in a montage. That guy that does animal facts in funny ways. Dog and cat videos. Comedy.

Apparently commenting on a post will indicate interest too? I know I've seen a comment that said "commenting so I end up on $something-tok", because there's a bunch of sub-tiktoks that people end up on because they've been identified as liking that type of content. It's not exactly something that's easily manually indicated from what I've seen, but it seems to happen well organically.

> Maybe I’m just too old to figure it out but I couldn’t find any way to get out of endless posts like that.

Just bypass them as soon as you identify them as something you aren't interested in. Soon enough you should see things that are more to your liking.

Agreed on this, I'd much rather do the image optimization at build time and just push it in an /asset folder or similar.

However I assume this isn't done because it doesn't scale well. On my website with 10 images it might work, but what happens when I have 1,000, that doesn't bundle well.

This kind of ROI analysis -- along with rankings, management theory, and other woes that have befuddled the aims of a college education -- has really had an interesting effect. Fewer graduates of 4 year colleges are proficiently literate.
