I don't have any users. A few tried it out but did no continue using it.

Honestly I can keep it running forever since it's running on a dedicated machine that has lots of resources and that I use for other projects as well. So it's not like it's costing me to keep it up. The burden is purely mentally (I just don't want to keep thinking about it anymore...I tried...I failed...right?)

I experimented with pricing a lot. The one you see now is the latest iteration. The idea was you pay 1$ per EC2 instance per month. So kind of like insurance right? The trick is that if you have say 60 instances you're paying 100$ still because the tier allows 100 instances to be monitored. I wanted the expense to be fixed every month because I've gotten feedback from folks that companies don't like variable cost per month for infrastructure...and it's already an issue that AWS is costing them a different amount each month....so it would be a hard sell to get to them to pay me a variable amount as well (small fish and all that).

Initially I didn't have a free tier at all. I only added it later as a desperate attempt to attract users. That's why historically I never gotten around to setting up a register flow without an invite link. :/ I don't know if 50 is the right number for the free tier but it definitely needs to be a larger number since companies/individuals that I target have a larger amount of servers. The ones that only have a handful don't really need this tool at all since they already mostly know all of their servers by name (so to speak). It's the whole "cattle vs pets" discussion. Anyway, that's where the limit to 50 comes from.

Thanks for the link btw. I read a bunch of patio11's posts but I don't think I've read this one.
It's best to think of RISCV not as a single ISA (= instruction set architecture), but a parametric ISA. The extensions are parameters.

RISCV offers lots of official extensions to choose from, such as M, A, F, D, P, V, ....
In addition you have the 32 vs 64 bit data width parameter. Any specific ISA will have to instantiate those parameters, like e.g. so: RISCV32MFP
or
RISCV64MAF.
Any implementation of e.g. RISCV64MAF will have to implement in silicon exactly those assembly command (and supporting features) that the M, A and F extension demand, with 64 bit register width.

Like in OO-programming the class constructors take arguments that parameterise the created object.

------

Regarding an implementation, given that RISCV is an ISA, not an ISA implementation, you need to provide a functional model. The official standard is [1] but it's a bit behind the ratified extensions. For example [2] defines the (ISA-visible)
registers, while [3] gives you the instruction decoding and execution clause for the most base instruction set. [4] describes part of one of the available address translation modes (for the 32 bit variant of the ISA). Note: in modern processors page-table walks are hardware accelerated, so OS and processor need to use the same format here, which is why this is part of the ISA.

I had the same sort of experience with a third party IT solution who was in on a call with my client and I... he started babbling on how his company had years of experience dealing with this exact piece of software and it would be no problem at all to take over the development and maintenance for it.

I was the ONLY developer who had ever touched a line of code in that software.

Which is just as funny as the recruiter who wanted to recruit me for a position and said I'd be a great fit and a shoe-in for the interview because he had years of experience working with the company in question as a partner.

...I wrote the job description. It was literally an open position for my direct subordinate. I was the hiring manager and had never heard of the recruiter before. So I replied with "interest," we went through the interview process, I submitted my resume, and then he called us up to speak to the person hiring for the position saying that he had a GREAT candidate. This guy hadn't even read the resume, because my current employer was on it as it was obviously my current job. I let him in on my secret, and also let his manager know about my experience with him too. She used to work for me on my team as a recruiter before taking the job to start the firm's New Orleans office.
I agree wholeheartedly with this piece. Have for years.

I've invested a lot of time into thinking and learning about these sorts of "big" or societal/infrastructural/cultural problems, and figuring out what are the very top problems (AFAICT), and prioritized them down to say the 2 to 5 biggest and most growing threats that need to be eliminated, mitigated or fixed. I've begun working in my free time on what I see is the 2nd most urgent and apocalyptic threat:

democracy vulnerabilities -- the risk of free peaceful democracies (like the US, most especially, and despite our obvious impurity in that regard) devolving and collapsing, and trying to mitigate the attacks and corrosive effects from the bad actors pushing for it (which in the case of the US includes some treasonous and misguided domestic folks but also certain foreign governments as well.)

I'd love to make a difference too on what I see as the #1 threat/risk (greenhouse gas emissions, climate shifts, ecosystem collapse, pollution of our land/water/bodies) but... its harder for me to see ways where my skill mix and resources can help there. compared to the #2 one (democracy collapse.)

they are inter-linked, because #1 can increase forces pushing #2 to happen. and if #2 happens its more likely to make #1 worse than better.

but yeah I'm done with the purely worrying, thinking & talking stage. I'm acting. With as much urgency as I can afford to invest, time-wise.
Hey y’all! I’ve been a big nerd about all things React, Next and Typescript for awhile and wanted to formalize some of my thoughts and frustrations into this article.

I was lucky enough to get some awesome eyes on it early, including a handful of people from Vercel. I hope this sparks some good discussion!
Remix [1] solves this problem very well.

Data that is needed by a React component is declared in the same file as the component as a loader function which the server then invokes and renders into the component on the server so the client receives an HTML response with the view ready to go (server side rendering).

I distinguish between server side rendering which is a function invocation that takes place for each request as opposed to pre built HTML which isn't "rendering" anything and instead returning a static, pre-generated file.

With Remix, the client gets an HTML response the server generated with all the data it needs already retrieved (it was retrieved on the server).

The client can then run any additional client side JS but the user doesn't need to wait on the client side JS to see the content they were trying to browse.

Remix can easily be deployed to edge systems like cloudflare workers.

The services that the loader functions hit can be run somewhere else of course as well.

That's a really hard problem though. There are too many powerful interests, on too many sides, all trying to influence the regulations to give them a leg up.

The best regulations come as a balance of the competing interests. But that requires the different interests recognize each other as legitimate, or at least as needing to be met halfway as a practical matter. It can't be done in a scorched-earth atmosphere - all that can come out of that is regulation that is differently bad.

Writing a small wrapper that enforces whatever invariants are needed at the FFI boundary is much, much easier to do correctly than writing a whole program correctly.

You are never going to get 100% memory safety in any program written in any language, because ultimately you are depending on someone to have written your compiler correctly, but you can get much closer than we are now with C/C++.
The city has been too far gone for 20 years.

You have some of most inept local politicians you can imagine, who are more focused on taking glamor shots in front of half a million dollar per unit homeless shelters.

If it's really costing half a million dollars to house a single homeless family, why not just give them $5,000 to move?

Even for someone like myself, and I do consider myself to be somewhat upper middle class, LA is a bad deal. Deal. The bare minimum to afford a place to live plus transportation ends up being around 3,200 per month. That's about $2400 for a 1 bdrm + 800$ for a car payment / insurance/ gas.

Compared to Chicago where a 1bdrm in a fantastic metro accessible area can be had for 1300$ or so. 100$ metro pass gets you around.

LA and much of California is past saving, get out while you still can.

Is it “not solely home prices” or “has nothing to do with home prices”? The latter is not a defensible argument, on its face.
> I don't believe in reincarnation, but it's not hard at all for me to see how it can be used as a moral tool that helps people think long term.

At first glance things like this can sound good. However, religious ideologies like this are always double edged swords. In India, their caste system is heavily reinforced by the believe that people in a lower caste were "bad people" in a past life, and so there are no reservations about subjugating or otherwise discriminating against them.

This _always_ tends to happen to _every_ spiritual law scheme eventually, under different cultures. If a religion has enough followers, people have used its (seemingly good natured) ideology to kill and discriminate against those they don't like. This is the nature of humanity, I doubt there is any possible spiritual teachings that wouldn't eventually fall into this trap.
Server push has been deprecated by browsers for a while now.

To reduce round-trips, consider using TCP Fast Open and 0-RTT with TLS 1.3. Note that 0-RTT can enable replay attacks, so I'd only consider using it for static content. HTTP/3 and QUIC has improved support for 0-RTT.

Gzip is good for dynamic compression, especially with zlib-ng. For static compression, I'd rather use Brotli.

Totally agree, as long as the reasons the banks have are valid.

The problem is that that decision is made by people. Standards of conduct are not universal. What if political affiliation or COVID vaccination status affects your ability to transact with a bank, even though those things have nothing to do with buying or selling real estate
I was about to mention Umineko, I mean, there is even a character named Knox, and it is not a coincidence. As for what it is, it is strongly inspired by Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" but it ends up questioning the nature of reality.

There is an anime but it doesn't do the visual novel justice. I don't consider the adaptation that bad, it is just that the story is so twisted and complex that it is simply impossible to fit into 26 episodes.
In the Next.js/Vercel world, this hybrid architecture is primarily (I believe) an issue of cost savings (for them and you). For $20/mo Vercel will host your hybrid Next.js side, yet do all of the backend configuration and maintenance on your behalf, configuring not just NPM but Lambda and Cloudflare Workers, along with nginx and caching and CDN mirroring and invalidations, all seamlessly.

So as a dev you can just code against the Next.js docs and not have to play devops. That's a LOT of time savings for $20/mo, and you can afford way more page hits this way than a barebones $20/mo NPM VM would get you. Yes, backend it's super complex and fanned out to different providers, but Vercel manages all of that for you.

I imagine Gatsby and Netlify are similar, but not sure. Next.js was designed around Vercel specifically (sadly) and there's a lot of vendor-specific lock-in features.

> It was known early that other mammals got COVID; the attitude of "there is only the Gospel and all else is Misinformation" has prevented discussion and likely prevented studies on it.

That is a giant strawman. I'm confused why you think that mainstream virologists are not deeply interested in discussing, researching and tracking animal reservoirs for Covid.

Accusations of astroturfing are against policy on HN, for good reason, since they can never be refuted.
My thoughts on the above list:

#1 will be challenged in court the highest level. Think "corporations are people".

#2 will pass only if a majority of California residents are renters and decide that they want to band together on this one issue.

#3 could work since it would ensure support from people who are currently renting but want to buy a home soon.

#4 is small compared to how much home prices appreciate. The real problem is supply.

#5 this would open up more space for residential development. If it is zoned mix-use with a mandate for minimum density, then it could definitely add more supply.

> Everyone arguing regulators are evil is genuinely tech and finance savvy. The regulator is not there to protect them. They are there to protect the vast majority

I agree. But a funny thing I wanted to remark on is that this dynamic makes defi (and any other esoterica) better (or less worse, depending on your POV) than it "deserves" to be. It essentially functions as a less-regulated side track for those savvy enough to use it, and this self-selecting population is one that does not need as much regulation as the general population. Of course, this is until defi gets packaged into nice, consumer-friendly products you can buy with a couple of swipes, which is already happening.
That paper says nothing about the US military or US govt running a troll farm. The Snowden article says nothing about it either- it talks about Brits.

If only the artists have taken over Hollywood...

Do you genuinely believe films like Edge of Tomorrow are works directed by a genuine auteur with full control? That is almost certainly not the case. The director is Doug Liman. He's not a bad director by any means but if you look at his filmography—Mr & Mrs Smith, Jumper, Bourne Identity—he's not exactly Francois Truffaut.

Besides, artists do not behave consistently. Some may care less about comprehension, while others may care deeply. Lumping them all into one category and making a false dichotomy between style and comprehension are both vast oversimplifications.
High dynamic range sound mixes have been with us for a long time. Have you ever watched Lawrence of Arabia in a movie theater?

If you do the mixdown to stereo poorly and/or refuse to compress the DR and then play the result from built-in TV speakers I guarantee that you won't be able to hear the dialogue at an acceptable volume even though the film is from 1962 and features clearly-spoken lines from former professional stage actors.

Re: #3, so if you go all the way back to the original strain: Potentially animal > human > animal > omicron in humans.

Like, a continuous mixing and mashing feedback loop.

If nothing else, the variants occurring in real time right before our very eyes should make the idea of evolution a lot easier for some in various communities to finally grasp.
Not really, for instance courts did examine the CDC eviction mandate and found it was overreaching the language of the law and voided it. I agree with that as the law provided examples of the power it was giving and the eviction mandate clearly didn’t fit with the others (fumigation, quarantine of positive cases, etc).

A mandate for vaccinating healthcare seems a lot closer to existing regulations that the law was designed to allow. It’s clearly a health and safety regulation just like the dozens of previous health regulations regulating quarantine, mask wearing, sanitation, safe handling of items, etc.

The reason congress doesn’t reserve this power is because in our system congress can’t react quickly or sometimes at all. It has to pass laws giving up this type of authority to the executive branch because it knows its own processes don’t work quickly or efficiently enough.

Congress did give itself instead the authority to veto regulations it doesn’t like, using the Congressional Review Act. It used to give itself even stronger authority using the one-house legislative veto, but the Supreme Court struck that down. < https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article...>
To preface this, I think Kyle is a wannabe cop and I still think he shouldn't have been there. But the narrative that he's a white supremacist is probably false. The bar incident occurred because it was arranged by Lin Wood who he fired afterward. Also the FBI investigated him and found no connection to white supremacists iirc.
I have no idea, I'm not the one who said it was. Even though the Covid vaccines don't prevent infection and transmission, by helping the body fight off the virus they absolutely do help prevent variant formation.
>"effective vaccines actually suppress variant formation" is going to get him yelled at for supporting antivaxer arguments, I bet.

Are you implying that since variants exist, then the vaccines aren't effective?

That's not what the data shows[1].

I'd point out that South Africa, where the Omicron variant was first characterized, vaccines have only ~30% penetration in the population[0], making it a good reservoir for mutated variants to spread.

There are several other endemic human coronaviruses like HCoV-OC43 which cause common cold symptoms. Most of us catch them as youths and the resulting natural immunity protects us from severe symptoms during later reinfections. However they can still be deadly to frail and immunocompromised patients.

Netflix has been slowly pushing more international content in the US as many of Americans are starting to become more comfortable with reading subtitles.

I do think there is some room for improvement though in that subtitles should absolutely have standardized options for how they display on screen. Some people really like the yellow, others find that much more distracting compared to a bold white lettering on a semi-opaque black background. Let the viewer decide which one they are most comfortable with unless you have some specific art directed reason why they need to be formatted a certain way.
