Hi, I'm JD, Hydra's CTO. There's no perceivable overhead to using Hydra on queries being routed to Postgres. I think you would not be able to see Hydra in the noise in a benchmark -- but it's a great idea to demonstrate this! I will do a blog post! :) Of course, if you were to use Hydra Instance (where your Postgres database is remote) then there will be some network latency.

This is one of those interesting major differences between institutions of higher learning that often goes unremarked: some universities (generally the Internet first-adopters) have entire IPv4 subnets and don't firewall machines on their networks.

A machine connected to their networks is just publicly accessible by IP address.
Windows 2000 was much more stable and yet the install was far less than a GB.

> I guess I also wanna say that I'm sorry Cloudflare. I realize that I'm not the target market. I am literally not giving Cloudflare any money. There is no reason they should support an esoteric and bizarre configuration that I do.

This guy is underestimating just how exactly the target market for such a free tier service he is. He is smart, technical, about to go to college, and in a few years will be evaluating what service to use for his startup or big tech job from among a field of competitors.

The original post felt like when companies like Coca-cola tell you to recycle and act like the burden is with the individual instead of the massive corporation. Since this data was either posted (or at least referenced, can't remember) by AWS, it seems fitting. Amazon couldn't possibly have the power to deal with these rising emissions, it's the code that our customers run being written in Python that does it!

I'd like to see tech industry emissions as a whole, just for running software. I have to imagine it's pretty minuscule in the grand scheme, but still interesting. What does a product like Instagram that has a huge user base and an application written (mostly?) in Python create in emissions and energy use?

I guess we'd also have to consider that the societal benefit of Instagram isn't as high as trucks that deliver food to grocery stores, so truck emissions may be seen as more necessary emissions.

It's a really deep rabbit hole. I find the concepts interested, though don't put too much thought into these issues I don't directly control.

We're aware of the micro OLEDs, but they're not able to provide the picture quality we desire (at least within a reasonable R&D budget). uOLEDs force pancake lenses, which have issues with transmission and ghost images.

The Lynx R1 definitely is attractive in its own way. We have all of those specs except for the thinness. We're planning for our AR latency to be sub-frame (<11ms exposure to display photon out), but it needs verification with actual hardware which takes a while.
MBA-ed to deadth hehe

German "Tod durch BWLer".

If a company suffered from this it is IBM. They sold they're hardware business with long term earnings and the entry path to many customers was lost. Now there is Red Hat with the IBM-Letter attached to it. At least we see improving support for ThinkPads through Red Hat. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon instead invested in hardware with software. Siemens is another exampled for dead by MBA, thanks for ruining Siemens Nixdorf. How you can even think about focusing a company on one single market with a "Profit Center", you loss the broad base and flexibility. No other part can sustain you till you adapt to a change.
Here's an idea. A pie in the sky idea!

What is SpaceX's starship good for? Well, what does space have? Solar power in gobs.

A lot of the economic barriers for space based stuff is just moving stuff around and getting it back to earth. Well, for computation you don't have to do that. You just beam the answers back.

Starlink has the networking substrate already. With the end of exponential churn in hardware, soon orbiting computing can have a longer lifecycle.

Starship is targetting 10$/kilogram. You can fit a computer in a kg easily. The launch cost will be a fraction of the procurement and other lifetime costs of the computer.

I guess cooling is the other issue. I don't know much about cooling in space. I know it is REALLY HOT on the sun side, and REALLY COLD on the other, but radiating heat usually involves other molecules touching the hot thing. Maybe you put reflective paint on the computing unit to keep the sun out, and the cold side chills the rest of the computer to near-absolute zero? Again, I am clueless about space heat dissipation.

But if you can ALSO get really cold temperatures, you can also overclock the CPUs to run faster and get more compute.
Hahaha no. I just meant same as you. Not same as you pronounce y’all.

The people who created Go had vast amounts of experience in creating new useful things. It's not their first system or language. For example, they created unix and utf8. Please give them a little credit for their experience and time trying to build things.

Programming languages are there to make programmers productive. Otherwise we would all work in something like assembly (I've done that but try to stay away from it now).

Go attempts to do this by hiding the complexity. When people have to spend time dealing with language (or platform) complexity they have less time to spend on their business logic or the core thing they are trying to do. By making the complex simple for the majority of cases they enable people to be more productive in solving their specific issues.

I say all of this as someone who likes and has issues with both Go and Rust. And, every language I've ever used.

Sure you can remotely disable it, but unless you get the chip back, you've lost it, and you'd have been better off selling it anyway.
It's not actually this simple, although it's safe to think of it this way and it's not dumb or ignorant to do so.

Killing pathogens is a time vs. temperature thing. You frequently see instructions to cook e.g. poultry to 165F for some amount of time to prevent salmonella, but that's simplified for easy communication and safety. A chicken breast can be cooked to 150F or even lower [0] safely, as long as you cook it long enough. It's why sous-vide is safe, as long as you hit the time/temperature thresholds.

You definitely can end up in bad spots though. There's a series on youtube where a guy does wacky stuff with sous-vide, and he cooked a brisket at 131F for a month[1]. I'm sure they played it up some for the camera, but that brisket was not good to be in the same room with, let alone edible.

I imagine these long-lived stews are similar. They are kept at a simmer (i.e. right at/below boiling) indefinitely, not reheated. But while you can put fish heads and pig trotters and so forth in there, you should not leave them in there perpetually. You need to filter the solids out and replace them, or you're going to end up with something inedible if not actually dangerous.

I'd try this stew and I bet it's good. I would not make it at home, though. Do you really want your stove running 24/7?

> things that obviously don't need it

Why do you think a note taking service doesn't need end-to-end encryption? Perhaps you don't care if a rogue employee reads your personal diary, or if the company gets hacked and all your private notes are stolen. Or if an overreaching government demands your data.

Personally I do care. The note taking solution I currently use has E2E encryption, and I won't consider switching to a different solution that lacks this.
You joke, but really, if anyone can change the economics of development to dissuade app cruft, only Apple can. Apple routinely achieves with a wave of the hand things that years or decades of concerted effort from industry professionals couldn't do. Things like remove and deprecate DRM from music.

This is Apple's industry, we're just allowed to play in it.

That's true, I had to pay IBM in the 90's for a CPU upgrade where they just dial in, change a config, and poof-more CPU. It was completely infuriating and one reason we migrated to HPUX. The hardware support from IBM was amazing though - the techs are very well trained and show up with basically another mainframe in the van and start swapping parts until things work.
Yes, I completely missed that the article can be switched to simple style. Thanks for pointing that out!
> Kyra is autistic and deaf. She was born early. She was very small when she was born. She has trouble seeing, hearing, eating and sleeping. Her hand shakes so she does not do sign language. Her parents think she knows some signs.

This is plain, but is this good writing? Specifically, I find the writing lack of specifics. What is "early"? What is "very small"? What does "has trouble" mean? How bad is the shake? How do we quantify "some"?

Good writing is plain and simple. Being plain and simple does not mean bland or vague.

In addition to what was linked by the OP, Simula One VR was discussed 10 days ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30318094

> "with a VR computer you can change positions, sit up, lean back, stand, lie down, or even walk while you compute."

You don't necessarily need a VR computer for this. I've created a subreddit to explore this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/
Right, that's not too far either. I guess the difference is that the abuse of Python doesn't hurt me in my daily life in an obvious way, unlike Javascript.
Porn is a tool. It's a tool that enables men to disable their sex drive... for a set amount of time.

What most people don't realize is how awfully strong the sex drive is and can get given time... since they never let it get to that point.

And I'm saying this after 6weeks of complete abstinence.

It's utterly distracting and frustrating, making it extremely hard to focus and get any work done.

Rubbed one out and I can finally focus again and do some quality programming work.

Should have rubbed one out way sooner than that. The amount of actual work I've missed out due to this is not negligible.
> If you ever provide a public API

Yes, an API will be coming in the future! (:

> due to my own niche learning strategy, not a flaw in JPDB

Just for curiosity's sake - what kind of strategy is it, if I may ask? I have a very ambitious plans for the future, so depending on what exactly it is it might be possible someday.
I'll give you a hint: Each one of those equations has an assumption embedded in it. The first and last one seem pretty solid. The middle two, though- The second assumption is that maintenance on capital is some constant proportion of total capital. That might be true, but also might not be, especially if you consider knowledge to be a form of capital. Maybe maintenance should scale with the log of capital, or something like that. But even then, I'm pretty sure that unless maintenance goes to zero, this doesn't affect the general shape of the curve.

The third assumption, that capital increases as a constant proportion of resources extracted, is even more questionable. I think it's fair to say that we are able to do more with less now than we could in the past. You might say that that is a function of the existing capital too. So what happens if you try something like C += r*q*(1 + .01*C)? Do you still get a peak?

And of course, there's the assumption that the next bit of resources you extract is a little harder than the last bit. Statistically this has been true for some time now, but you could imagine this rule reversing, at least temporarily, if we gained access to some new resource, say, asteroid mining.

So there's plenty in the model to attack, if you take the time to really consider it.
You shouldn't take it off outdoors with the lenses pointing at the sun, no. Ambient light will be fine.

Also don't stare at the sun with the cameras. Although if you do, they'll be replaceable.
You're already assuming a conclusion with that question. Does everything have to be about apparent or obvious harm to be prohibited? Secondly, if we were to prove harm, would it deter you?

The secular West has adopted the philosophy of "everything goes as long as it doesn't harm me", which falls apart at scrutiny. This philosophy has also invaded their Christian population, which is why you see they caved to pressure.
I think one of the misconceptions is about how cloudflare works.

Their networking/routing is based on cheap routing your stuff in the free tier ( eg. Assets).

This is done at the cheapest location/datacenter for cloudflare depending on usage/capacity in nearby datacenters. Performance/nearby for paying customers, cheap routing for free tiers. This helps bring usage to their underused datacenters too.

If you want to bring your own certificate, you aren't letting cloudflare decide on how to route the files and are using a direct line, circumventing costs reductions they implemented.

Because of that, i think they require you to be on the business tier, if you want to use your own certificate. Additionally, this requirement is almost solely for professional clients too.

Can someone from cloudflare correct me if I'm wrong? It's just my 2 cents.

Note: cheap doesn't mean slow. It mostly means that you won't be routed to a datacenter that is almost at capacity.
I'm really curious: the article cited at the end of the post [1] lists major projects that use each respective language.

For golang it lists: Kubernetes, Docker, Github CLI, Hugo, Caddy, Drone, Ethereum, Syncthing, Terraform

For Rust it lists: Firefox, ripgrep, alacritty, deno, Habitat

While both lists are a bit cherry-picked and some not really true, it is certainly true that there are significant more (I'd guess 1 or 2 orders of magnitude) large projects using Golang.

What do you make of the fact? Certainly it's not programmers that want to be treated like they're not smart. Nor can you assume all the different team's engineering leaders made foolish decisions.

Let me start by offering my condolences on your loss. I know that this must be an incredibly difficult time for you. Since you asked for advice, I'll begin with the obvious: You should consider taking at least a week off from work. The work will still be there when you return. I'd also recommend not trying to rush the grieving process. I would, however, encourage you to (for now) put out of your mind all of the "woulda, coulda, shoulda's" because anything that resembles assigning blame is not going to be helpful to you. You've now embarked on a difficult journey. Embracing that journey is one way to honor the memory of the loved one you've lost.
And something else, for someone like me, one of the biggest PITAs are billing, signing up new providers, keeping track of expenses, etc. So, if I could just subscribe to your products via AWS marketplace it would be awesome!

Usually big companies have a budget line and one of these is the cloud provider. They don't tend to scrutinize the bill, just the bottom line.
That demo you linked to is incredibly advanced & impressive for 2015. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed there are definitely some cool headsets about to be released (both the Lynx and the MeganeX). I wish these projects well. Any successful VR headset (even gaming headsets) lift the whole industry and interest level up for everyone else. And it's also great for consumers, who get more choice.

The niche we're attempting to carve is 100% VR computing focused. When you preorder our headset, you're signing up to get something that "just works" out of the box specifically for this use case (without any further hacking required). We're also leaning as much as possible on premium specs, which we need to power the clearest and most readable text (which is super important for long working sessions).

Finally, I totally understand your concerns about backing a project that leads to a never-shipped product. We are committed to sending out weekly updates throughout the course of this project, and are aiming to have review units finished in a few months. Perhaps we can earn your trust over time, or after our first batch of headsets ship.

If you change your mind in the interim, you (or anyone else who reads this) can use the discount code "DISCOUNT_HN" to get $100 off today. We also have a partial deposit option ($1,499 now; $1,499 before the headset ships) which allows people to spread the cost of the headset over time. This allows you to reserve a headset now for lower than MSRP ($3,500), but not pay the full amount until you see more proof of our progress.
Did you see what happened to the actix project. That was embarrassing
To add some context, Gmail also includes a lot of the core workspace apps(chat, meetings, etc) if you do have a workspace account, which most users will likely never see.

All of that isn't needed on regular accounts, I guess, but it's probably easier for them to ship it as one app because people might get confused/are able to switch between their workspace and regular accounts in the app. Gmail is also supposed to be the "hub" to workspace on their new Desktop UI.

Go has a C style error handling that by virtue of being very bad, composes a large share of the code one writes. That pushes people impression of it near the one of C, even though it has some very high-level features.

Yes? Look at the various anti-trans laws or rules being passed, that's very much a fundamental defensive fight for LGBT. Some big companies making nice statements doesn't buy you very much if your healthcare gets killed.

Uncommon words are more “salt to taste” for me, everyone has a different palette.
Is it really comfortable to wear for extended periods of time? I’m a little behind on VR tech. I have an HTC Vive (1st gen), which has a third strap to support the weight. Does it really work okay without that? I would imagine the combined weight of the computer and the headset to be substantially higher than my HTC Vive. It has to be supported by something – which hopefully isn’t my nose or ears!

(Also, what is the weight?)

Why Everywhere in the US Is Starting to Look the Same [video]
Isn't it ironic that even the writers of this article don't follow these rules in the examples on that page?

There is "Mistake 3: Not Enabling Keepalive Connections to Upstream Servers", where it says:

In the location{} block that forwards requests to an upstream group, include the following directives along with the proxy_pass directive:

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header "Connection" "";

Then, at "Mistake 10: Not Taking Advantage of Upstream Groups", the "location" block does not include these two directives, even though the "upstream" block contains a "keepalive" directive.
No, Initramfs solved this.
As long as you can provide a list of block to the bootloader, everything works as expected.

No, not really, actually the reason is that I do not really need them.
This is all quibbles. Replace can with do in my statement and it still stands. Measuring what people do can also have predictive power.

>Measuring my behaviour in one context may tell you little about what I can and might do in another.

It may tell you little, or it may tell you a lot. That is why you run a study and see how predictive it is.

If someone drives fast and reckless today, they might not tomorrow. You can still run a study to see how predictive today's driving is for tomorrow. It won't be 100%, but I bet you would see some correlation. Someone who smoked a cigarette today is more likely to smoke tomorrow than someone that who didn't smoke today. That people can quit and can start doesn't change this
And the reality is that wages don't follow the "rockstarability" of employees but whatever crap the employer could get away with at the time of hiring. Lying and misleading included in that.
Perhaps this is neat, but ultimately I’m seeing the effects of their ambition and lots of raised money. I have a feeling a majority of the things they’re going after won’t apply to me, meanwhile they’re really going to push 1Password 8.0+ on me, plus a monthly license for a cloud service I don’t want to use.

It’s too bad — I like 1Password7 and it’s one time purchase.
