... and they want to remove file memory buffering (for instance with DAX in the linux kernel)??? The future would more likely steer towards "mmap MAP_POPULATE" than "DAX" with such massive amount of RAM. That said, if flash RAM performance gets closer to DRAM one, for many usage profiles, DAX could be more interesting.
Living organisms are SUPER sensitive to chemical and temperature changes. The fact that oil spills, algae blooms from ag runoff have wide reaching effects shows that dilution is not as significant as we want it to be in making problems go away.

A lot of people seem to like it, looking at Twitter? Some say it has a cinnamon flavor, some detect hints of Oreo cookie, some say animal crackers...taste sensations can be really subjective.
We might imagine ceramic passivation coatings to protect surfaces of extra-low-orbiting birds.

The ability to collect enough energy to drive thrust from large, draggy solar panels seems like a limiting factor. Maybe they could double as wings? Keeping them oriented to minimize drag would interfere with their ability to collect energy. It might be the optimal geometry for such a bird would be a hollow cylinder with panels ranged all the way around the outer surface.
Tell HN: Vitamin A Linked to Energy Levels
Please share tips or experiences related to vitamins/supplements

Vitamin A is pretty scarce in many diets, yet a 2010 paper shows that sufficient vitamin A produces 30% increase in ATP production. [0] ATP facilitates energy transfer between cells [5]

Lots of sources including wikipedia vitamin A page [6] don't seem to recognize the role of Vitamin A in energy transfer between cells. [2] [4] Wikipedia page for ATP does not mention the link with Vitamin A either. [7]

There are reports of Vitamin A supplements producing psychological productivity energy boost akin to caffeine. [1]

One cup of boiled carrots is sufficient daily intake of vitamin A. [2] Boiling the carrots increases vitamin A absorption due to breaking down the cellulose in carrots. [2]

Other sources include cooked tuna, cooked squash or pumpkin, cooked sweet potato, cooked spinach/kale/collard/chard/bok choy, or beef/fish liver. [3] If you aren't eating a good amount of these foods every day you are likely deficient.

I fell in love with computers through jailbreaking iPod touches. Back then, for me a jailbroken ipod felt like there was a whole world waiting for me; and you could tweak anything at all. I eventually started running a mini business at my school, offering to jailbreak anyones ipod/iphone (for a small fee, of course). I would even put a custom boot logo advertising my enterprise on all my customers device. Looking back now, that feels a bit scummy, but at the time I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Apple Discontinues iPod Touch
It also depends on what kind of monolith we're talking about.

We've found that "moduliths" (modular monoliths split into clearly defined bounded contexts with public APIs) work as well as microservices for scaling development: each team is responsible for their own module, there are very few conflicts, there's no spaghetti because we have architectural reviews whenever a module wishes to cross the "module barrier" and call into another module etc. (i.e. introducing a new dependency). You can spin up as many modulith instances as you wish as well.

The problem is that our modulith is written in PHP using a very popular enterprisey framework. PHP is based on the paradigm of spinning up a new process per request (php-fpm can recycle them but still), so every request ends up reinitializing the whole framework every time: its entire dependency injection tree. Every new module increases response times linearly, it doesn't scale. Another issue is that the single DB (common for monoliths) becomes the bottleneck, as all modules/contexts go through it.

Our PHP modulith is very costly in terms of runtime. A similar request into a microservice is usually 20-50 times faster because it's written in Go and manages its own DB. I think if our monolith was written in Go or Java from the very beginning we would have less impressive results after switching to microservices. Stuff rewritten from scratch is also usually faster than tons of old accumulated cruft.

Deployment/compilation is much faster now, the old monolith also used to have a lot of JS/CSS processing, PHP linters during build etc. so a tiny change to a module would trigger full recompilation of all modules running for 30-40 minutes. Each microservice is a separate deployment however, so a change to it only takes 1-2 minutes to deploy/release.

My point is that when people are talking about monoliths vs microservices they are often comparing dinosaurs written 10-15 years ago (PHP, old frameworks with bad design decisions, tons of accumulated spaghetti) to modern, more lightweight languages/tooling (for example, Go, k8s etc)

I think a "modern modulith" has its right to exist and is a viable competitor to microservices, provided they use more lightweight frameworks/tools, use paradigms such as modules and CQRS, and if somehow they allow smart, incremental deployments.
I believe it is tied to their rewards program of some type or a Target credit card.

But yes it does help sell more. If they are keeping track of what people by to target advertising, I'm sure they are measuring the return. An expectant mother seeing car seats in a flyer from Target is going to be more likely to go look for a car seat there than someone who doesn't think about Target having a car seat and orders it off Amazon or else where simply because they didn't think to go look at the car seat section in the store.
It was based on faceting because that's all the computers at the time could handle.

It's like saying that 3d graphics lighting can only be done by rasterized rendering. Of course, now that we have enough GPU processing power, we can also use ray tracing.

In time, all light calculations/shadow calculations will be done with ray tracing, but for now, that's unimaginable because ray tracing runs slowly on current hardware.
From what I've seen over the years HN is on the leading edge of trends. If one really monitors the bleeding edge it doesn't feel that way. But people tend to forget the very very very long tail behind the curve.

We went through a hiring surge a year or so ago and I was astounded how many candidates had never used any cloud, GitHub, containers, micro services, modern tooling or language versions, etc. These are all things I assumed everyone had been using for several years now. Or if not, they'd already tried it and decided to move elsewhere. It was eye opening.

On their on premises monolith skills will come in handy with the bleeding edge companies in a few years.
Usually codebases are organized into modules/classes/etc and most test suites can run specific test cases (or groups of tests, specific domains, etc).

I think if you can't do that in a codebase, then one has bigger organizational problems than the technology itself.

Also assigning many developers to work on the same set of files is a recipe for disaster (if said developers cannot get along or organize themselves) while working on the very same place/file.
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. 40 hours for 50 weeks makes for $14,500 annually (before taxes). Around 21 states use this value as their minimum wage.

The largest state minimum wage can be found in New York and Washington, DC, at $15. That is $30,000 annually.

People will get even more frustrated when their flimsy physical authenticators break down. Passwordless authentication is perfectly okay for a service like a physical bank, employer etc. that can always check your identity and re-enroll you via some other means if need be. It's a disaster in the making for something like Google, Facebook, MS etc. etc. that offer no such thing. Make no mistake, the same people who pick weak passwords today will neglect proper care about any kind of disaster recovery scenario.

The best you could do is use a "software-based" or "virtual" authenticator that explicitly refuses to protect against a user cloning and subsequently restoring its identity, at least as a last resort. Not good enough for bank payments, ofc. but plenty usable for everything else.
I wouldn’t go back further than the 8th gen intel minis that the m1 replaced, just to get a bit of longevity out of them (including macos support) and the price for those is close enough to the refurbished m1 models that I don’t think it’s worth bothering about intel minis.
Let me throw https://www.fallenlondon.com/ into the ring.

It has lots of options to acquire various items and qualities, and depending on our situation, spreadsheets can help a lot figuring out which one is most efficient.

It even has the "bone market", an exchange where you can build skeletons from various bone types, and sell it to NPC vendors, some of which have non-linear payout curves. There's an optimizer for that written in Python: https://github.com/Saklad5/Bone-Market-Solver

It's an awesome combination of great writing, bizarre, whimsical stories and a potential (but not a hard requirement) to optimize by spreadsheet and other methods :-)
CI helps releasing fast, it doesn't do anything about not stepping on each other's toes. You can imagine a case where two people are working on the same part of the codebase and having merge conflicts everywhere. CI doesn't help with that, though it does make it a little bit less stressful to resolve those conflicts.

Microservices forces boundaries, which in turn allows you to scale the number of teams to the number of service boundaries and now you're no longer stepping on each other.

With the disclaimer that I'm an embedded programmer so I don't have a dog in this fight, my reading of the literature suggests it's best seen as an organizational tool rather than a performance tool.

faker was a disease that I fought against in the places where I was unfortunate enough to inherit it in the codebase. lots of devs not knowing better thinking it really made our tests more robust -- it didn't, in fact, just more flaky. also faker's functionality can easily be shimmed or rolled yourself if you want to. I will continue the fight, there are many other super popular npm packages whose value is dubious at best, cause dependency tooling headaches, and are like viruses in the web ecosystem. and the fact this faker guy sabotaged his own package is great because even before that I was against it, and now it is just easier to convince people not to import this clown lib
Any game that involves diplomacy needs to be played anonymously to prevent that sort of stuff. Not just pre-existing friendships, but people you play with frequently will learn your habits and tells, and will refuse to cooperate with someone they know is good at the game. It was easy to fix in the play-by-email Diplomacy days where you could create a new email address for each new match, but it's a lot harder in today's era of voice-chat-enabled social deduction games.

Sad to see the iPod go. I have an iPhone, but it's not the same. There's a lot of value in unitaskers.

I have a long train trip coming up. I'll have my iPhone with me, but I'll also bring my iPod shuffles. They're simply better suited to the task than to have to deal with all the compromises of a device that tries to be everything to everyone all the time.

- Vastly superior battery time. In part, because it's not trying to do a million things other than play music.

- Better ergonomically. I can lay in my berth at night with my wired earbuds and listen with a tiny, durable device instead of a large, fragile device. It's not tragic if I roll over on a Shuffle, or drop it out the side of the bed.

- A shuffle on a small train table takes up much less space than an iPhone. Or no space at all, since I can clip it to my clothing.

- To me, the Shuffles just sound better than the phone. I'm sure there are a million blogs that dispute this with all kinds of mathematical blather. But I use the same earbuds with my Shuffles and my iPhone, and the Shuffles just sound better to my ears.
Probably a nice strategic advantage for the west. This is probably a good reminder to governments to start on-shoring critical tech. The end of the unified internet is accelerating.
beware with La Roche-Posay line! Well, most mega corp cosmetic chem corps have this exact same problem.

They use the exact same brand/package design/names for completely different products, depending on where you are.

For example, USA you get "Anthelios 60 Mineral", with 8% Ti dioxide and 6% zinc ox.
In the EU you get 6% Ti diox and 12% zinc ox. In south america you get Oxybenzene and no minerals :shrug

Now, guess which one you will end up getting on the cheaper listings on amazon even in the USA.
> At the same time, hospitals and others would be willing to offer loans provided you could pay it off.

I'm not sure we want to encourage people to go through loan terms while possibly fearing for their life, especially when the people advising them on their health options are associated with those offering the loan.

"We need to operate as soon as possible, you're at risk until we resolve this. Oh, here's the loan information if you choose to get a loan through the hospital. The terms aren't as favorable as some others might offer, so feel free to take your time and shop around. Oh, but don't forget that your time is limited. Let me know when you've secured funding and we'll schedule the operation."
Indeed. The point remains: OP has been fooled into fretting about relatively nothing so that the real issues aren’t noticed.
Am I the only engineer who does miss a hybrid office schedule? My productivity has cratered over the pandemic with WFH becoming constant. My motivation is nonexistent. In the past, having one or two WFH days per week allowed me to get solid focus time to crush tasks that required deep thinking. But that effect only lasts a few days tops. Going on three years of this, even the simplest tasks feel like pulling teeth. I’m burnt out and I really feel like being in a room with other engineers is the only solution.

It’s to the point that I’m thinking of leaving my fully remote company to find an in person office. Something I never thought I’d say.

> The key is that Mittelstand businesses are much less likely to fail

I think you're getting at the crux of it here. The question is, how does one of these businesses "prove" to investors that they are less likely to fail? The failure rate for new business starts is famously high, whether that business is a tech startup chasing unicorn status or the corner deli. I think this will manifest itself in the due diligence phase, bringing back a bunch of things that tech founders have eschewed: detailed business plans, fundraising towards specific initiatives (as you point out in your post), and harsh measurement of progress towards those goals in board meetings with rapid consequences if goals are missed.

For me, the ‘proper’ way to use YouTube is to have two dozen playlists to ‘watch later’. They together have hundreds of videos now, if not in thousands already. What I do is, whenever I see a vid that looks genuinely interesting to me, I put it in one of the playlists—and when I want to watch something, I use the playlists. This way, a) I don't need to rely on the questionable pile that is the front page, and b) I get videos to watch from the recommendations on videos that I already liked. (Though it worked better when the recommendations didn't mirror the front page so much.)

I imagine that Apple would never bring back an iPod in the future with the clicky wheel because it could be perceived as 'backwards looking' and cuts against their desired image as 'innovators' who bring out the 'next thing'. Bit sad, because my memory of the later generations of the Nano is that it was an excellent device.

It's probably true that most people just get their music and podcasts through streaming services on their phones though, so perhaps they don't care to keep a niche product around.
> This was my point in mentioning the prices of health care, education, and housing...

I'll ignore the rest of what you're saying to that because that sentence by me was intended to concede the point. No need to argue.

As for the rest, inaction is action to not act. Keine Antwort ist auch eine Antwort. Everyone is free to believe they want and be powerless or whatever, but I don't have to believe that they're innocent for inaction.

Besides, it's okay, I have a risk-free path to moral outcomes now. All I have to do is avoid finding out about moral situations and I am automatically doing the right thing. Hear screams? Airpods in. It could have been screams of laughter and now that I am unable to find out more, I am automatically moral.

Of course, that is definitely how I got that first job. But I know plenty of people who got engineering jobs without parental help, and also plenty of people born into privilege who didn't make it as engineers even with the help.

The idea that the only way to get here is to start rich is just wrong, and offensive to those of us who didn't. You don't need rich parents, and there's no royal road to tech if you have 'em.
Ask HN: How do I earn money on the side as a ML engineer?
Hi HN, I'm a junior/mid-experienced (3 years of experience) ML engineer with experience in ML in general but more specifically in NLP. For some reasons, I cannot change jobs at the time being, and at the same time I'd need an extra income.

What are ways to leverage my ML/NLP knowledge to earn extra money on the side? Ideally, something that doesn't imply coding (unless it's a one time thing to get some sort of passive income), since my main job already burns me out programming-wise. Could I get paid to give advice to startups? What about teaching (how and where)?

Thank you in advance!
