That fact that this delivers 3.5 MBit/s really makes you wonder how many low speed connections out in the wild are literally broken cables that still have some amount of coupling somewhere.

Goodenough was awarded a Nobel, and the technology is being commercialized.
I'd love to get statistics. Is there a simple way for me to check how my karma has evolved over time, my most like post or comment, who was the user who got the most karma points last year, month, week?

I like https://hnbadges.netlify.app/ but it is far from what I want.
Shortcuts is a pretty solid option for users with Apple Devices. Its available actions range from simply changing settings to running SSH commands, all packed in a user interface that is much more approachable than AppleScript or Automator.
The article is wrong because knowledge won't help you much in a world where you need money, connections and manpower. E.g. even with all the knowledge, a small company cannot run a silicon fab. You are always dependent on Big Corps, who are just starting to figure out how they can become modern age feudal lords.
A lot of that is bad preparation/understanding of an EV. They didn't plan well nor bring their charging cable on a road trip.
Hell yes: Here’s a concrete example: in last year’s lockdown, my local coffee shop started to deliver beans. They set up a slick web store with Shopify. They took payment with Stripe or Square. The owner’s kid brought the beans round on his bike. In other words, they competed with Amazon, because they had to! Ten years ago, this would have been much harder. Now, it’s a matter of plugging in off-the-shelf components.

NOT about regulators.
If you can truly afford it and they are an accredited school, I think it’s a great idea.
But it’s only one or two steps removed = Israeli company, acting with the approval and protection of the Israeli state, enabled and facilitated spying on the US by a third party.
The cleanup code is part of the stub/bootloader, so depending on how the process dies it doesn't run.
Antitrust won't end big tech. It will just kneecap the US and Europe.
They will take the only part of the new economy they have a foothold in and hand it to someone else.
China's tech companies, supported and subsidized by the government, will take over.
This is blindingly obvious.

The thing that is amusing is that US/Europe seem to think they will be able to deal with this and effectively regulate them, despite not succeeding at this at all in the past (see China + IP, etc).

One major reason is that China is willing to play "unfairly" to support its companies.
US/Europe will be unable to ban these services entirely because their citizens depend on them too much.
They will attempt what they do now, which is to regulate them in various ways to "ensure competition"

But when you go to do that to a chinese company, the government will find a way to make it hurt for you. You make it hurt for Chinese Search Engine Company, they will ban the chip companies from making chips for you, etc.
They are much better at this game than the other governments.
right, one possibility is to pipe standard output to an output file.

Another use case is running a http server locally, for something that has a graphic ui. Like one of my projects here: https://github.com/mosermichael/s9k
> Here’s a concrete example: in last year’s lockdown, my local coffee shop started to deliver beans. They set up a slick web store with Shopify. They took payment with Stripe or Square.

Are Shopify, Stripe, and Square not big tech? Maybe medium-big instead of mega-big?
I like oclif - it’s what powers Heroku CLI. Great TypeScript support.
> In our Next.js setup, for example, all pages are served static by default and cached around the world, but every revalidation period (60 seconds or so?), one edge worker will check the data source against the upstream CMS, and rebuild that one page if needed.

Are you all using the incremental static regeneration API to accomplish this?
The PIT number seems like the best single number to use. Unlike the one you quote, PIT is not influenced by the somewhate arbitrary choice of a year as a unit of measure. And even if you include people who are homeless for a single day over the entire year (who are, as the article mentions, also spending time in jail or the hospital, which get their own budget), the difference is less than 3x.
Nobody wants?

I want some of them, if they make sense. I will give you that a lot of things just don't really make sense as a webapp, but a lot of other things do.

There is a lot of "small" things I'd rather run in the confines of a sandboxed webapp than run as a "native" app. Things I use once in every blue moon, where I do not want to download a binary or worse track down a bunch of dependencies and compile myself. Opening a website in <10seconds is just faster than that, and hassle-free, and doesn't mean I have to maintain the stuff (either by keeping it up to date, or remembering to get rid of the thing after use). Even worse are the webapps pretending to be "native apps". Please stop packaging your "webapp" only as an electron app if you only ever use normal web browser features.

My problem with the state of things is just that every other "small" webapp tries to compel me into making an account for absolutely no reason first, or sell me "premium" features, or is plastered full of ads (which is less of a problem with the adblocker I use). Worse, if they do not really let me export my data. But all this also applies to native apps these days.

Surprising. What about the menuing itself do you dislike. My kids can’t get around retroarch no matter the theme. Mister they just go to the core. Select it. It drops in in the cord directory of games. They select it. And they play. Retroarch is Roms folder then they select the core and if they don’t select the right one their save states aren’t there and their configs aren’t there. Good luck doing 5x scaling with retroarch too.

I agree with this. Just paying more attention can bring so much joy.
>> it might not contain the true explanation of why it happened.

I think this is important. It's one thing to say where it could be based on known locations, course changes, fuel, and range data. But to make sense I think an intended destination - and hence motive - is important.

One of the more plausible suggestions to me was that they were trying to get to... I think Christmas Island and didnt quite make it. That still begs for a reason but at least offered an intended destination.
tip: Rather than using --onefile to create a single standalone executable, IMO you're far better off creating a dist then packaging that into an Installer using Inno Setup or similar.

Your app will start quicker, because it won't be a case of the "single executable" doing the old unzip-and-run thing every time.

I've been using Backblaze B2 since it launched, and HashBackup (I'm the author) was one of the first B2 integrations.

What I like most about B2 is the transparent, no gimmick pricing. No monthly minimum, no minimum file size, no paying for storage for 90 days after you delete a file. And they give generous free allowances: 10GB/mo (forever, with no credit card required), 1GB of free egress per day, and up to 5000 free transactions per day.

I backup the HashBackup dev server to B2 every night, around 80GB with mostly VM images, and the total backup size while keeping the last 30 days + 12 monthly backups is around 50 GB and costs 25 cents/month. They bill me every few months, I guess when enough charges accumulate.

Here are the backup stats for the HashBackup dev server:

Beware that ldd needs to run the binary to check for dependencies. It can be a security risk to use it without a sandbox.
Use charging point in the street, if it a communal or private garage install a charging point.

A basic charging point capable of charging a car and accurately measuring consumption for the purpose of charging costs about $700.

Electricity meters are extremely simple and cheap devices. There’s literally nothing probative about installing one in every parking space. While your at it, might as well integrate a proper car charger.
Not easily, I agree, but it could be done. For example, there could be higher taxation rates for larger companies.
A use case for glasses like these with the heads up display would be while riding a TT bike in the aero position.

I've been running firefox like this manually for years. My method for this is basically just create a profile for any service I want to run standalone. Works great

1. Create a profile for the app you want to run...e.g. Spotify. Set the home bag

2. Create a startup file for your Firefox/Profile combo, e.g.

$ cat .local/share/applications/Music.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Categories=Music;X-AudioPlayer;AudioVideo;Spotify

Exec=/usr/bin/firefox --class=musicplayer -P music

Icon=Music-icon

StartupWMClass=musicplayer

StartupNotify=false

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Name=Music

Shopify modular monolith scaled to 30 TB per minute during Cyber Monday
Shopify uses a modular monolith architecture built with Ruby on Rails and MySQL.

2021 was their biggest Black Friday Cyber Monday Together with the Google Cloud infrastructure team, they achieved near-perfect uptime while averaging ~30TB/min of egress traffic across our infrastructure. That’s a massive ~43PB/day!

Because there is nothing new to discuss. The same arguments on both sides existed five years ago. So every discussion is a rehash of what has already been discussed. It isn't like the conversation has changed much on bitcoin-maximalist focused forums either.

The general population of HN posters think that cryptocurrency hype is not justified by the tech. That does not mean that the forum is against discussing new ideas. It just means that they disagree with you about this idea.

Consider the discussion of OOP every time it comes up. It is the same conversation over and over. But I think it'd be silly for somebody who prefers inheritance as a design choice to declare that HN is just filled with incurious people because they don't like inheritance.
I'm having trouble figuring out what a "semantic pull request" is from that link, it's not a concept I've heard of before, and I'm interested. I mean, i assume it's some conventions for what goes in PR message, but what are they? Is there a better link?

In general, as a developer-consumer of them, I have found automatically-generated-from-commits changelogs to be not so useful, but I don't know if I've experienced any using the conventions you are recommending (which I dont' understand!).

In the small projects I write, I include links to the PR in the manually created CHANGELOG (the delta of which is part of the PR) simply by making the PR, then making another commit/ammend in the PR to add it's own url to the CHANGELOG. These are some extra steps, it's true.
> The changes include moving to a "General Manager model" for teams in the product and technology organizations, which will mean having one person lead the work in those divisions. "This will allow us to operate more cross-functionally and enable faster, more informed decision-making," the spokesperson added.

In other words:

We now have an Overseer role. Individual contributions no longer matter to management. Overseers will ensure the company's decisions are followed through at every level of employment. Now even the design teams will 'be on board' with the changes, or be gone.

No more dissent. No more questioning of the leadership. No more discussions.

The Overseer's word is law, people!
"I think for those who would ban guns, they're probably more concerned with the overall rate of gun homicide, as opposed to specifically about mass shootings. "

That's what most would claim, but the issue is mostly emotion driven and mass shootings are extremely emotional. Overall gun homicide is actually not that high, in the sense that most of it is ancillary to other crimes (burglar getting shot, drug dealers playing footsie, etc). The chances of being killed in the US by a gun are quite low.

Just this weekend an Italian was knifed in NYC. I wouldn't blame guns, there were none, or knives. I'd blame the perp and society (i.e. Columbia University) for telling naive foreigners that a city like NYC is safe at night.
That's true as well. It all depends on how much is the employer willing to invest in their employees in the end; if they foster longer-lasting relationships then many interesting internal projects become feasible or even desirable.
> Firefox has great support for pwas

It doesn't support "installing" PWAs like native apps, and that's a core feature of PWAs, so no it does not have great support for PWAs

> the name is horrible and damaging to Firefox so I'll probably not ship until that name is changed.

I think you're being a bit harsh here. Sure, a more accurate name would be "PWA Installer for Firefox", but to say it's deceptively named is pretty hyperbolic.

No, this whole discussion is about K-12 education, which includes the very first introductions to geometry, and if you look at the existing geometry content from 2013 [1] it's mostly about 2D geometry, shapes, angles, rotations, translations, etc. That fits squarely in with 2D computer graphics. I also did emphasize "basic geometry" and "basic computer graphics" in my first reply to you.

Finally, my first reply was disputing the claimed uselessness of geometry. It's very clear that it's far from useless these days, although some material is certainly less useful than it maybe used to be.

I think it would be worth looking at a player’s accuracy in terms of their cohort’s standard deviation, given that theory is more or less shared across all players. Even then, the best players now have the best teams and computers, so a lot of Magnus’s accuracy in this game is a credit to Jan Gustafsson et al. I’ve been thinking how you might capture the player’s accuracy out of their prep, that seems a better measure, but even then you’re so often choosing between five +0.0 moves by the middle-game, and you could easily play many totally accurate moves if you didn’t feel like agreeing a draw. I know some have looked at Markov models of a player’s likelihood of a blunder to analyse this instead.

Personally I’ve never felt Magnus enjoyed the modern game with as much opening preparation as we have now. It seems like he’s only in the last few years invested the time in this, instead of relying on his technique to win even from losing positions. I hope AlphaZero proving that fun positional ideas like pawn sacrifices and h4 everywhere reinvigorated him somewhat during his dominant first half of 2019, so there’s still hope the machines haven’t just drained the romance from the game, even if their ideas remain dominant.
Is this a US centric question? Otherwise the answer is, yes of course.

The article doesn't do this directly, but to push back against the implicit message:

“Right tool” is not a value judgement. Python is better suited to certain applications, and go is better suited to others (with overlap obviously). This is partially a function of the language itself (eg, statically compiled or not) and partially a function of ecosystem (eg, writing container tools, go is by far the most pragmatic choice and Python for many ML applications).

I think GP was just saying that most times, fewer moving parts is better. Avoiding Docker is great if you don’t need it (especially for a CLI tool). Obviously there are trade offs that must be evaluated in the context of a given problem and domain.

I'm not sure I follow you.

When you discretize a continuous equation for numerical analysis, you always make sure to use a consistent discretization. The point of a consistent discretization is that it can be proven its solution will converge to the exact solution of the continuous equation as the step size approaches 0.

Consistent discretizations are possible even for nonlinear equations.

Either way we are simply discussing limitations of a chosen numerical method, which doesn't really support the arguments in the article.
The general purpose computer cores are what interest me the most about the MiSTer project. I'm keeping an eye on the 486 PC and Macintosh Plus cores.
