My last team (3 years ago) mostly used nodejs. Our services would tip over under load.

Explaining backpressure was a lot of work. With zero reward. Less so for fixing it.

I was bemused that the entire nodejs ecosystem, community was oblivious to this issue. Hard to take any of it seriously.
I don't think the Pi uses linear regulators anymore - the Pi 1 certainly did, but for example the Pi 3B+ uses a MXL7704, which includes several buck regulators together.

I 'run' my own micro arts fund providing support for people in MH communities that would like supplies or tools to help as part of their ongoing rehab or change of career as a way of getting back into a life that means something.

The answer really is if you expect a measurable outcome from small-scale investing in people then don't do it, you're in the wrong space. If you view your investment as a path to the outcome you have in mind for them then don't do it, you're in the wrong space.

If you believe that a person deserves opportunity that might otherwise be blocked from them by what the privileged of us would consider incredibly low bars (money) and are willing to possibly not ever know if it made a difference or where that took them then it might be for you.
The plummet began around '08 or '09, to my recollection. It was as if, over a period of a few months, they just completely gave up trying to fight webspam shit. Simply surrendered.

To attenuate my hand pain issues, I am using a mix of a tenkeyless 60% keyboard, AutoHotkey, espanso and dictation. Also, instead of focusing on using key combinations and typing fast, I am trying to practice 'typing mindfulness'; that is, really to be present and type consciously, accurately and slowly, instead of fast and erratically.
Unit tests aren't really for bug catching, they're to ensure you haven't changed behavior when you don't expect to.

They enable refactoring code in ways not possible without them.
Great to see Puerto Rican tech content on Hacker News! I grew up in PR and have always dreamed that PR could become a Singapore or similar with regards to its tech ecosystem. Saludos boricua from Boston!
> when my main question was how the heck you stumble upon looking at the problem that way, vs all the failed ways

Well you stumble through half a dozen failed ways first, is the usual method. Eventually you gain "intuition" that lets you jump straight to the way that works and you can't explain exactly how you thought up the correct method, but it just feels so natural and anyway, you can explain in great detail why nothing else would work.

I'm teaching calculus this year so I sympathise with both sides. The problem is that the answer to "how did you know to do it that way?" is experience, as in all fields. But students rarely have the time to accumulate experience and intuition before finals, so there's frustration all around.

What I'm saying is I'm not looking forward to grading six hundred finals where many students will inevitably spend too much time on approaches that were obviously (to me) doomed from the start because they haven't stumbled enough to know it yet.
Cute. It is around 8 feet long and per the comments, it throws tennis balls. Throwing a tennis ball at supersonic speed is nothing to sneeze at, but the really impressive thing about historical and modern trebuchets is how big some of them got. They could throw things like pianos, as in a famous Northern Exposure episode. Doing that supersonically would have really been something ;).

Sorry, I mean the special part is "the bug itself is a memory corruption". The second sentence is a quick explanation for those not in our bubble.
I made the first comment on that issue: tbh it does work better than expected on intentionally bad code, but not perfect. It could be useful to speed up documentation though.
You were able to control the mantissa precision in x87. I know some people think it was for perf, but the primary reason to control it is to avoid this exact problem.

I would like $100k to work on the Collatz conjecture for 6 months.

I have an idea that will probably fail, but if I had that money I would quit my job work my ass off for six months to flesh it out.

But I have no credentials, no way to write a grant proposal, and even I wouldn't invest in myself.

....and yet if we did this sort of experiment 10000 times over, humanity might make some big breakthroughs because some of this people would be legitimately smart (unlike me).

of course 10000 x one billion dollars, so maybe we should just fund legit grant seeking PhDs.

This is ignoring the fundamentally-different issue that was raised, which is that the service boundary introduces a new failure point that doesn't exist in a function call. What you're describing could just as easily happen in a service call, IN ADDITION to the service just not being reachable.

I'm not thinking just about AD. I would love lots and lots of little simulation modules instead of monolithic solutions.

Now some uninteresting story: the reason to have a look at MuJoCo is personal: I studied Mechanics I, II and Analytical Mechanics at college and thought non-continuos mechanics a solved problem. When doing my masters thesis about helicopter simulation I needed at some point to model ground contact and I thought "easy, just add a damped spring". I feel that thesis was nice for an undergrad overall but that part as you can imagine was a complete and utter piece of crap. And now at my forties I want to have vengeance.
Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Google Music or whatever now is called. I tried them all. They are all the same to me.

There is one big thing that all these streaming services are missing: *METADATA*

Give me all the album by this label, all the songs produced by X or all the songs where in Y plays drums. All the albums recorded at some studio in the year Z. With tools like this I will spend years (and whatever money) on your service. They will give me unexplored ways to find and listen to new music, totally new meaningful relationships!

Heck, 9 times out of 10 even the album year is all wrong with these services! (I know, all these "remastered" editions from the labels don't help at all).

And they don't even need to build those datasets, they are already there, just ask (or buy out) discogs.com!
> I'm not sure how I would accomplish this in a monolith.

With a library.

Depending on what you’re doing (process ran a few times a day?), maybe even spawning a process is enough.

> what options would I have if I, say, needed to let a remote team add some functionality to my, say, Spring backend but they really prefer to write C# and have their own CI/CD system.

That sounds like you need at most two different services, not microservices.
In other words, exactly what the article said.
If Apple was completely blocking progress in web graphics then maybe Chrome would have tried to do something about it. But that's not the case at all. Everyone is aligned on WebGPU as the path forward. It's unfortunate that Apple delayed WebGL for years but there's nothing to do about it now.

People lived in the US 1000+ years ago, and I feel pretty confident that if you know where to look, relics can still be found.
Not American celebrates Christmas as a religious holiday, but most everyone observes it as a secular time of rest, travel, and/or family before the start of the new year.

Schools are off during this time. And many professions take a break during this time as well, not just office workers, but factories often use this down time for maintenance, and trades use it as reprieve from working in the cold.
> Is the ability to fork the essence of what makes a project open source?

Kind of? The ability to "do whatever you want" with the code more or less embodies the experience of FOSS.

> Why did you stop using it?

I got a job at Apple, and roughly three months after I started there that laptop broke and I got a discount on a Macbook. I know I could put Linux on there, and maybe at some point I will, but currently my school requires that we either have a Windows or Mac computer, and since I don't want to go about mucking with virtual machines, I'm sticking with macOS.

Right. So it's more a problem of data dependency than it is with the access being random/sequential. Eg. if LSM needed to do 1 large sequential read & then jump around in RAM the same way, it would still largely have the same basic problem, no?

I'm glad I'm not alone in lamenting the demise of Google Play Music.
It was a startup and they were flexible when i asked to work for 4/5ths pay for 4/5ths workload.

It should probably be a norm but right now it's ad-hoc for companies to support it in order to retain staff.
Yikes.

I’m all about sharing projects on HN, but that seems like a big oversight. :(
Ask HN: Alternative to PayPal Moneypools?
I'm looking for a way to collect money in an anonymous self-help group, online. We used to use PayPal moneypool, where you could check a box to donate 'anonymously', meaning, the one collecting and the other contributors couldn't see people's real names and who gave what.

We don't want to use cryptocurrencies due to the perceived high effort of setting it up and the volatility of the currencies.

Are there any alternatives left, beside crypto? Or are our reservations misguided and you can convince me that there are easy to use and stable crypto options?

Become a Signal Sustainer
My company typically gives everyone half days on Fridays from Memorial Day to Labor Day (and most people only put in a token amount of work - if that - on those Fridays - no meetings are allowed to be scheduled on any Friday of the year). This year, in addition to that, they gave everyone every Friday off for the month of July. And... the company still functioned just fine. We run on sprints and we finished just as many story points during those sprints as during sprints when we work full Fridays. I'm pretty sure we could all stop working every Friday and things would go perfectly well.

Also, we aren't allowed to make any code changes from Thanksgiving to New Years. So nothing really happens from Thanksgiving to mid-December and then the entire company stops working the last two weeks of December - we don't even submit time off for it, you just don't show up. That is essentially 10-20 business days where no real work happens. That is almost the equivalent of a year's worth of Fridays.
That is some pretty strong armchair folk psychology. I'd rather put the run-off-the-mill social Darwinist economics talk aside and focus on ways to evaluate a grant recipient's progress, with a positive attitude and helping them along the way. Startups also often fail, individual grants will not be different from that, and not everyone needs to be a brilliant genius to achieve something.
Location: Algiers, Algeria

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes, to the USA. I am a diversity visa lottery winner, I will hopefully have a green card before September.

Technologies: React, GraphQL, Node, Typescript, Tailwind CSS, Gatsby, Next.js, Scala, PostgreSQL, docker, python, Odoo, Linux, vim, Serverless, reverse engineering. Looking into rust and go.

I have a software consultancy business that sells and integrates diverse open-source self-hosted solutions, my main product is odoo ERP, for which I developed lots of modules to adapt it to the Algerian market and the needs of my clients. I also worked on startups as a full-stack web developer.

Since I am emigrating to the USA and leaving my business behind, I would like to resume my coding career and work on challenging problems as a software engineer. I wish to work for a company that tries to make a difference and work on global issues like climate change, sustainable energy, poverty, health, well-being, education, democracy.

I speak Arabic, French, and English.

Any feedback that is not a job offer would be very much appreciated!

Any job that requires problem analysis and coordination skills has the same effect. As a software developer (well they call me architect these days), I'm more or less sure there's nothing special about our profession.
I've always just searched 'John Smith baseball' and that works well in DDG too.

I think that follows the mentality of VC, the idea here seems to support agency and unique views on the world, for diverging from the path is when a new path is found. I think enforcing a mentor program would harm that goal.

YouTube Music is the reason I moved over to self-hosted Jellyfin to host my music collection.
The RPi4 SoC has a busted PCIe controller (can't do 64-bit operations), the Rockchip one has a very small BAR size limit, so neither can run GPUs for example.

The real ARM board options are SolidRun MACCHIATObin and SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K.
Oh: in case it isn't clear... CUDA is just the most popular current GPGPU programming language right now. There's ipsc, OpenCL, OpenACC, DPC++, SYCL and many others.

They are all closely related to the PRAM-model however. So algorithms study isn't really about learning CUDA-details or whatever, but learning the generic (and cross-language) concepts of parallel programming.

------

So it really doesn't matter if you're reading CUDA, or C-star (1980s code for the old CM-2 supercomputer). They're both PRAM in concept and therefore somewhat compatible in your brain.

It helps to know GPU-quirks for highest levels of optimization (wavefront programming, uniform branches, __shared__ memory), but you can learn these details after learning the generic PRAM stuff known for the past decades.

Yes he ends up with a cute toy that flings a marble but sounds like a rifle.
But in the video he explains the engineering process to start with the desired goal and then optimized and derive the parameters he needed to achieve that result. It was a good example of engineering.
It's really a weird merge, I browse youtube and I see the music I like from Youtube Music there because musics are somehow fetched from YT and not from a different place ( like it was on Google music ).

It seems that if the music is officialy available on Youtube, Youtube Music fetch the music from there, if not it's using an internal catalog.
TL;DR: Family estrangement is more common because families are less dependent on each other for immediate survival, more emotionally aware of the impacts of abusive behavior, and more able to move away from their families.

Having been estranged from a good portion of my family of origin for a while… yep. Good summary.

Being able to get away from a bad situation is a social good, and I’m glad we’re here.
