IMO Hype is similar to Flash and After Effects in that it has a timeline-based GUI that's easy to grasp. So for the generation of Flash developers who were left in the lurch after 2012, it was a great option. It also has a code editor view that allows you to write custom JS for functions that aren't related to animation (e.g. a countdown timer).

It's a pretty niche tool these days as animation on the web is unfortunately rare, and game design has shifted to Unity. Those were Flash's biggest use cases.

From what I've seen, animators today create them in Adobe After Effects, then pass that through a library called Lottie[0] which exports to JSON, and can then be implemented in HTML. That might be the market you could try targeting.

I wondered if that’s why the proposal words it as “use C++ language facilities” instead of just “use C++” – use the C++ language, but not its stdlib.

I found this internal file that forms the basis of all the atoi and strol family functions. Seems like they do get some nice wins from the C++ language, without needing (e.g.) STL: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/libc/src/__su...

Because it's terrible and has always been terrible?

After 2017 I'll never use US-east-1 again.
Hell... I should have learned that particular lesson in 2011 but it took two catastrophic failures for me to figure it out.

There are numerous threads here on HN covering the topic "why does US-east-1 suck so hard."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13756082 is just one example.
Ugh, would have made me happy a month ago. We are stuck on Nomad now.
Thanks, I'll check if that fixes it.
Maybe the folks you were hiring were mostly single? I have a family and kids, and care a lot about health insurance.

I'd hazard to say that different strata of developers may want different things. Those fresh from college may strive for a bigger name and tech stack that looks impressive on the resume. Seasoned but single may look for a larger paycheck and faster career growth. People with kids may look for flexible hours and good health insurance. Etc, etc.

I'd see perks not as tools to improve acceptance of offers, but as tools to improve productivity of those already working. And I bet that some flexibility in hours, or offices for those who ask for them, do improve it, and likely improve retention, too. But you have to check whether the expense is worth the improvement.

With that, I'd say that good processes, right culture, great people around may be a bigger perk than any gym memberships and fancy coffee machines.
The same Gitlab offers: the ability to customize and configure the system the way you want it, and the ability to patch the system even when the vendor stops supporting it if you're intent to. It also adds a small factor of trust because you can see the server code; there's probably important, private files flowing through the relay servers, after all.

The rates for decent remote support software are terrible. For €150 per month, you can use three simultaneous connections across your entire organization, limited to a certain number of users who might possibly use the system. Teamviewer once offered lifetime licenses, but then they inserted ads for their subscription model into the lifetime customers to get even more money out of them.
Yes, and also:

[9:37 AM PST] We are seeing impact to multiple AWS APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region. This issue is also affecting some of our monitoring and incident response tooling, which is delaying our ability to provide updates.

https://status.aws.amazon.com/
I used to really like Flask but after trying FastAPI I doubt I'd ever go back. I even rewrote the entire backend for our product in FastAPI and unlike some rewrites I've done in the past am 100% happy with this one. Major benefits for us:

- Faster in general than Flask (thanks to starlette / uvicorn)

- asyncio libs in Python are generally beating out others in terms of perf (e.g. asyncpg vs psycopg2). This isn't to start a whole "asyncio is faster" flamewar, not saying that's necessarily true. Just that it seems the people who are building in asyncio are also people who care about perf, which I do as well. The (non-asyncio) Python community has neglected perf for a bit too long imo.

- asynchronous style works much better with things like WebSockets, which we use

- Auto-generating an OpenAPI schema[1] is nice to have.

- Using type hints for things simultaneously encourages mildly "safer" code while also giving better auto-complete suggestions

Multiple devices in very different parts of the world can respond to the same IP address. A great example are DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8- you get routed to the nearest site that can handle your request. A common example of how this is implemented is via anycast: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-net...
True. But let's be honest... this is neither the first such outage in US-east-1 nor the last. So I'd argue it's long past time for Amazon to pay the bill and go multi-region.
What landed in 1.23 that would have meant not going to Nomad for you?
https://status.aws.amazon.com/ says that multiple network devices failed.
us-east-1 is considered to be the least stable AWS US datacenter. Not sure if this has changed, but I believe it was because AWS uses us-east-1 as the “proving ground” for deployment of new services, systems, processes, etc.
I’m particularly excited about nanopore protein sequencing. I don’t think there are any startups yet but the technology is commercially available for DNA sequencing.
Standard C has an ABI problem due to intmax_t. It is stuck at 64 bits in most implementations even though many offer an int128_t. There are standard C functions such as imaxabs, imaxdiv, strtoimax that are defined as taking or returning intmax_t, so changing intmax_t to 128 bits would break existing binaries. C functions are also purely defined by their name so you wouldn’t even get a dynamic linking error, you would just be calling the functions wrong.
If their stuff was all super resilient and multi AZ, it would be easier to place blame on the customer
Parsec doesn't support remoting into a Linux machine, so that was the dealbreaker for me.
Mac M1 (non Mini, non M1 Pro/Max) only supports 1 external display due to SoC limitations. M1 is basically a modified iPad SoC.
I think that would be packet.net but they're acquired and who knows how much investment they put in the product now.
version churn is a real issue on EKS. my team had to dedicate someone almost full time to EKS upgrades due to them constantly EOLing. with small clusters sure it may be easy to upgrade, but with multiple large clusters it’s a lot of very dangerous ops

this felt like a big step back. on ec2 you do some server management here and there. with eks we needed a nearly full time dev ops. you would think severless would reduce the need for dev ops
Oh no doubt. To be clear, mixing and matching manufacturers was a cost-saving measure, and in retrospect, should have done better research.

I did eye the ProArt board, but considering it was over twice as expensive in my region for a machine not really intended for content creation, i went with the far cheaper option.

Also using the CalDigit TS3+. Fantastic dock.
I guess thats for the courts to hash out eventually. If it is invalid, then standing seems to be more of a stretch:

Although A & R’s boycott has not materially affected any of its business decisions through the present, A&R would refuse to buy an Israeli-sourced product were the opportunity to otherwise arise. Moreover, even if A & R was not boycotting Israel, it would refuse to certify that it would not boycott Israel for the duration of the renewal contract because, by signing, A & R would be compelled to speak in furtherance of a foreign government’s interests. But for the renewal contract’s certification requirement, based on the Anti-BDS Law, A&R is ready, willing, and able to enter into the contract and perform the agreed-upon engineering services for the City.

I wouldn't lay the blame on NASA. Congress ultimately decides what NASA does and does not do.

Constellation was the system that was supposed to succeed the Shuttle. It had one successful first-stage launch in October 2009. In 2010, Constellation was cancelled by Congress (at the behest of then-president Obama). In its stead, Congress essentially designed a new rocket called the Space Launch System, and tasked NASA with building it. Constellation's crewed capsule, Orion, survived as the SLS's crewed capsule. Unfortunately, the SLS is now 5 years overdue for its first launch. (It currently seems reasonably likely to launch for the first time in 2022.)

The Orion capsule could conceivably service Hubble [1], especially after lots of launches and general experience with the vehicle. If Constellation had not been cancelled, or if Congress had tasked NASA with a less-ambitious rocket to build, (or if the contractors that NASA was obliged to use to build the SLS had been able to keep to the original schedule,) we might have had a spacecraft to service Hubble right now.

It has to do with whether the eigenvalues of the Hessian are well clustered or not. Generally, to get fast convergence near an optimal solution, the Newton system needs to be solved well enough. What well enough is can be difficult to determine and practically it's not calculated. However, if the spectrum of the Hessian is well clustered, then it doesn't take that many Krylov iterations to get an accurate solution. To be clear, how Krylov methods perform is an area of study that sits independent of optimization algorithms, but those results are applicable here. In fact, it's a slightly easier situation than normal because the Hessian is symmetric, so the spectrum is real and more exotic topics like pseudospectra don't need to be considered.

Meh… Omicron spreading may actually be a good thing. As of now there are no reported seriously cases of Omicron infections. 0 hospitalizations.

If the virus has evolved into a more contagious milder version then this is excellent news.
I agree; this is why I have hard time calling many agglomerations cities proper. They are like parts of Silicon Valley, just giant interconnected suburban tissue with some spots of urban space.

Naturally, people living in suburbia mostly do so willingly, and resist attempts to erect cities on the middle of that tissue. If they wanted to live in a city, they'd move to one!

But research labs would consume raw materials like wood, metal, Vespene gas, etc., and produce science units that could then be spent to climb the tech tree, no?

You don't use AWS because it has better uptime. If you've been around the block enough times, this story has always rung hollow.

Rather, you use AWS because when it is down, it's down for everybody else as well. (Or at least they can nod their head in sympathy for the transient flakiness everybody experiences.) Then it comes back up and everybody forgets about the outage like it was just background noise. This is what's meant by "nobody ever got fired for buying (IBM|Microsoft)". The point is that when those products failed, you wouldn't get blamed for making that choice; in their time they were the one choice everybody excused even when it was an objectively poor choice.

As for me, I prefer hosting all my own stuff. My e-mail uptime is better than GMail, for example. However, when it is down or mail does bounce, I can't pass the buck.

From everything I've heard, Omicron is much less dangerous than Delta or previous strands. Also, I've read that the Spanish flu ended with a fourth variant that was much milder than previous variants.

Assuming natural immunity is better than vaccine, and this variant is very mild, this is probably the one you want to get. What if boosters are being pushed at the worst possible time? With boosters you're less likely to get Covid, and what we've seen is that vaccines have a relatively short period in which they are effective. If you skip this variant, couldn't you get affected by a much less mild variant once the resistance wears off?

What am I missing here?

That being said, you should probably listen to your local authorities / doctors which are currently advocating everyone get a booster.

Conversely, the interviews that have gone most well for me were those that were largely just technical conversations. That’s not to say that they were nothing but fluff — the bits of conversation were usually accompanied with plenty of skill testing.

The worst were the ones where the interviewer clearly didn’t want to be there and mostly acted as a cold stone statue firing questions of from a sheet of paper. Incidentally those interviews were usually also the ones with the highest number of hackerrank sorts of questions.

It's 3:1 belt drive reduction.

I was involved in building --or more accurately, rebuilding-- one. I went as far as doing a whole new design CNC-machined out of aluminum.

One of the problems with this design is that these drone motors are not designed for static operation drawing lots of current without any cooling whatsoever. The 3D printed plastic parts are pretty much insulators. We had one motor smoking. The thing could not stand due to its own weight. This (and other factors) led to thinking of a new design using similar principles, a better motor and an aluminum structure that could be used to move some of the heat away from the motors.
I think we're wasting time here, as much as I hate Jeff Bezos, during his "meeting" with Boris Johnson he said something that is I think relatable to the current situation, I quote: “that this is a job for governments.

It’s up to governments to come up with the right framework.” (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/sep/26/jeff-b...).

SmartScreen becomes less of a pain when people start downloading the software more. In fact, if you don't have a lot of downloads, SmartScreen will block your executable even if you pay for the privilege of signing your executables! If you sign your executable + config files on the fly, you end up with SmartScreen warnings all over the shop!

A possible solution would be to distribute the client through something like the Windows Store on Windows, and a URL connection handler. The support-receiving website (or intranet support page) could work by opening a URL like remote-support://internal.domain.eu/listen from a web page and if that fails, link to the Windows Store and install directions instead. An unsigned, backup download of unsigned executables can be added to that download page if you so desire.

Theoretically, you could also set up some kind of DHT or TOR-like network where nodes can just find each other. You wouldn't want to send standard Bittorrent or TOR traffic without warning in corporate networks, of course, but the technology exists.

For businesses, the unsigned executable with config could just be distributed by the IT department with their own certificate or the necessary exemptions, and launch an autoconnect daemon, if necessary.

The _real_ challenge, I think, for building such a tool is that if it works well, scammers will use it and slander your product. Some might even patch out any warnings or alerts that you add to protect innocent people from scams. Scammers aren't intelligent enough to make their own RAT, but just one tech-savvy criminal could make loads of money with some slight modifications.

Why are you getting hung up on Starship being the current best choice for a return mission at Hubble's EOL? If I was making the comment in 2010 I'd've said returning Hubble is worth the cost of a shuttle launch. If Hubble miraculously lasts another decade I'll make the argument returning it is worth the cost of whatever vehicle is best suited at that time, possibly if unlikely a vehicle coming from the France 2030 development drive.

Peaking in 2100 at 11 billion people. If we can arrive fairly soon at a total fertility rate of 1 (half of replacement rate), that’ll eventually put the population curve on a trajectory towards 5 billion people around 2150 (which sounds very reasonable from a carrying capacity perspective).

That SF number isn't accurate. The 2021-2022 rate is 85% higher (1.18248499%). [1]

Another important thing about property taxes is to know when an updated assessed value is triggered and if there are any limits on how it changes. For example in SF, the assessed value is basically set to the sale price, immediately. But then the assessed value doesn't change until there's another property sale (or permitted improvements are made).

In some states assessed values are updated every year regardless of sales or improvements. [2]
