I’ve been looking at rqlite for some time and it’s really great to track the product on github.

I believe that the power of what Cloudflare offers here isn’t in the actual database. It’s the packaging and how it sits in their serverless world. Even with rqlite, I still need ip addresses to run a resilient system. As someone who sometimes needs a table here snd there, I really, really don’t want a server. I want a table to store a thousand records in and that’s it. This is where I would very much enjoy using something like D1.

A combo of D1, R2 and Workers is a serious contender for over-the-top serverless distributed apps. This is great.
Report their behavior by name to the person who initially screened you.
This does not match my experience. One of the reasons /s exists is because it’s much harder to read the intent of a written paragraph than the intent of someone speaking directly to us.

The hallmarks of sarcasm are subtle, and come in a few forms - sometimes it’s intentional emphasis on a particular word, sometimes it’s a quizzical look or raised eyebrow, etc.

But at least in my experience, I can usually tell when someone is being sarcastic in person, but it gets harder and harder to tell on the Internet.
Just a thought, what if we made the world a better place through clearer terminology? It's not a major improvement, but it helps reduce friction in communications.

Ignoring connotations, master/slave is pretty unclear to me and needs more explanation. I've seen it used to describe:

* a coordinator with a worker pool in which the coordinator sends jobs to the workers for actual computation

* a designation of where on the bus a device sits

* a designation of which copy is the source of truth/gets writes (master) compared to the read only copies

* a designation of which instance is currently doing the work vs which is the standby in an active-active failover

Yes those are all similar, but it's annoying to hear someone say "this is configured in a typical master/slave pattern" only to be left wondering which of the above applies.

I guess we could make some sort of purity argument about which of these is the one-true use for master/slave. Or we could differentiate the cases with more applicable and descriptive words. As a bonus some folks aren't offended.
Take a look at this video from the team that talks about this exact topic. After watching it initially it became very obvious to me why and I agree it was the right choice https://youtu.be/J5DQRPRBiFI
Google home is my most-hated mobile app. It’s slow, janky, buggy, and has terrible UX.
1) I never directed a felon to manufacture a FGC-9, although I would be pleased to find out they had. At various times I have praised the idea of felons and prohibited possessors carrying, which by the way can be done completely legally for example by carrying a black powder six shooter that will work as good as any other revolver.

2) Felons can in fact legally own and manufacture modern firearms after having their rights reinstated.

3) Felons can in fact own firearms legally by leaving the jurisdiction of the united states.

4) None of this first amendment protected opinions provide any justification at all for CBP officers faking a dog alert or manufacturing evidence during a strip search.

>It's evidence of an attitude, and attitude affects the probability of certain behaviors that you may have not reported in your account.

Ergo illegal detention and causeless strip searches (which even at border require PC) are justified? I take it Ms. Cervantes was also an HN poster? Did you even stop to think about whether you would like to live in a world where some low level podunk border patrol officers can fabricate evidence merely on the extremely unlikely chance they happen to read my HN and decide to target me because of my absolute stance on 2A and 1A?
Maybe this relates to how the west seems to consider the highest form of self-actualization to be triumph over adversity. It makes up the core narrative structures of western literature. It defines the core story arc show on television. I wasn't at all surprised all those years ago when Lana Del Ray affected this faux veneer of 'prom queen goes melancholy'. It's existed forever, it's just broken mainstream now.
>I wonder how much LAPSUS$ hack has to do with it.

Probably zero.

1) There have been rumors about this for months

2) The hacks only happened very recently, this certainly would have taken longer to do than that.
I've never properly understood why the closed source AMD driver still exists. Is it substantially different from the open source one? Does it offer anything not included in the open source one?
I can't speak for bag_boy, but yes, that was more or less what I was getting at; while the correlation is fascinating, it's also sad to think about the "why" and "how" behind it. I didn't mean to kick a hornets nest...

> Or are you assuming a state court can't fine a social network?

Social network: ok, we are blocking users from that jurisdiction from being able to access our product to comply with recently instated state legislation, please don't use a VPN to do so wink wink.

Plenty of people (yes, even those who aren't the most technologically advanced average users) have been using VPNs for a similar purpose to access Netflix shows available in other regions since a long time ago, so I can easily imagine people doing the same to access TikTok.

See the existing "you gotta be 13 or older to create an account" registration requirement on many platforms, which exists to comply with the law. Sure, it is enforceable in a sense that the government can go after any company that explicitly allows kids under 13 to register and flaunts this law. But it is utterly unenforceable in practice, because what is the government gonna do about kids lying about their age when creating an account? Nothing, aside from legally mandating identity verification and linking it to every account you create. But that's not the route I would ever want the world to take, not even mentioning that there will be ways around that too anyway (and the potential side effects of such id-linking mandate would be much more disastrous than the original problem).
That is what it once meant. "Spyware" was the term used for any process that called home regarding any information about you, your computer or your usage in the background. Calling home for anything other than "Check for updates" menu items or other actions where calling home was the explicit action the user wanted would get your name tarnished in the media and added to the signature list of software built for the sole purpose of finding and forcefully removing software like that.

Practically any Android app these days would be considered "spyware" if we were still applying the "spyware" definition of the early 2000s. And we would be better off if we had never stopped.
When I was there years ago, a businessman friend told me hotel and restaurant workers made $3-5/day. He also said many sleep in hammocks on the beach and don't have permanent homes. Perhaps most disturbing was his explanation that all of those workers moved there on purpose because that income and life was better than what they could get in their home state.
This is well after the deadline iirc, and not the sort of thing that gets rushed.

I doubt this is directly because of that.
The title of this link sounds like the premise to a dystopian future novel.
because it's general enough that it can be challenged.

I have an amazon profile. The reviews are user generated. They certainly rank popularity into categories.

In fact, I also have a wikipedia user profile as well and there's talk pages and here's the trending topics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Top_25_Report

Same goes with youtube, twitch, imdb, discogs, substack, medium, and oh yes, video games. Lots of UGC video games.

Social media can be bad, toxic, unhealthy, lead to suicide and depression among youth, ok. That's certainly terrible but you get a bunch of snazzy lawyers for billion dollar companies that work for the bottom line in the room, this thing won't stand.

Instead what might work better is to extend liability law to such forums of persuasion. It the parents of a dead kid have grounds to sue Facebook and Facebook knows it, they'll pull back quick. It's a page from the Ralph Nader playbook
Amazing product. Congratulations to the team!
Solid competitor to https://hackmd.io/ (codimd on github)
winterm looks very nice but it often screws up character alignment if you resize the window. it happens so frequently that i gave it up, because at least once a day i could no longer tell what i was typing or trying to copy. i'm a happy customer with alacritty windows builds, but i wish it had tabs.
Ah, thank you for the term in question. Found a relevant link: https://www.writethedocs.org/guide/docs-as-code/

Why stop at 5000 make it 50 000 to make it even harder. It would mess with everything from party discipline to lobbying.
Well I guess chances I will ever use Squarespace, Wix or Wordpress: ~0%.

But I'm not sure what that adds to the conversation without some background context on our requirements, use-cases or constraints?
For the few systems I upgraded to CentOS 8 back before it was killed, I switched them to Rocky Linux (Alma's also a good choice).

I'm still waiting a bit longer to see whether I'll keep my toes in the RHEL-ecosystem-waters, or if I finish moving everything to Ubuntu LTS and Debian.
What qualifies as a "desktop application" these days?

Is it any application designed primarily to work on a laptop or desktop form factor? A web application like SketchUp would qualify.

Is it an application whose code is only stored locally, even if they don't work well with a laptop/desktop form factor? Any number of native mobile apps would qualify.

What about a PWA that is cached locally but initially loaded via a URL?
so much of modern tv just feels like misery porn.
That would be my preference. Or split between a number of representatives selected by winning a district and a number of representatives selected by the popular vote. Germany has a system like this.
OpenCL, for one.

If you don't care about that, you can run pretty much anything else and performance is great.
It's actually quite similar. Both are embedded storage engines that are designed for a single node.

Actually, the case for RocksDB for backing a distributed data store is probably much stronger than SQLite given that it supports multiple concurrent writers.

SQLite lacks many important characteristics that one would expect a distributed data store to have. Row level locking is one obvious feature that's super important in a highly concurrent context (as mentioned, RocksDB has this). Want to backup your production DB? You're going to need to block all writes until the backup completes.

Additionally, features like profiling and replication are nonexistent or immature with SQLite. Rqlite and Litestream are super new relative to tools like Postgres and MySQL and you can't find a lot of people that know how to run them.

Also, you can't autoscale your app since your processes are now highly stateful. Sure, this is a problem with MySQL/Postgres too, but I can pay AWS or Google Cloud for a managed version that will abstract this problem away from me.

Most of these problems are solvable with enough net new software on top of SQLite. But... why? I think the only reason you'd subject yourself to such an architecture is because you want to learn (great!) or you're gunning for that next promotion and need to show off your system design skills :P
What I see here is something that looks good on paper but does not seem very usable. What happens if you squeeze to hard or put to much weight on it? How will this glide on surfaces?

I’ve been using the Evoluent VerticalMouse for a few years now. I am a big fan of vertical mouse form factor. I see that building custom mech keyboard is becoming increasingly popular. Custom key caps, switches, ergo designs and bespoke materials. I wish the mouse would go through this revolution. I could see mouse cases custom fitted to the users hand. Buttons placed to precisely line up with the users finger tips.

I know plastic degrades due to hand oils. So a design I would like to see is a plastic frame with a material like this as an outer shell.

That seems an entirely different thing, unless there's something I'm missing.
You have yet to see a world where people update their beliefs more than once per decades. Hybrid native web apps are trivial, see e.g. Ionic capacitor plugins
Your taking a long a shower will make no difference in a city of millions, so it's in your interest to ignore such advice. If LA is serious it should raise water prices.
Employers can require a return-to-work note from the doctor. If that doctor involuntary committed her and suggested she quit, there is a good chance the doctor may hold on to that note for a bit as well.

If something like this is what happened, I would suspect it would raise HR flags to the point of requiring the note to return to work.

> The habit of name-dropping logically fallacies and thinking it is some kind of slam dunk is so cliche that it needs it's own name.

It's sometimes called the 'fallacy fallacy': the assertion that because the argument is fallacious the conclusions are also necessarily false (as opposed to potentially true but infelicitously argued).
Depends on your product, but I'm able to do everything via Cloudflare workers, KV, DurableObjects, and use JSON files stored in Cloudflare CDN as source of truth (hosted for free btw)

Cloudflare KV can store most of what you need in JSON form, while DurableObjects let you model updates with transactional guarantees.

My app is particularly read heavy though, and backing data is mostly static (but gets updated daily).

Honestly after using Cloudflare feel like they will easily become the go to cloud for building small/quick apps. Everything is integrated much better than AWS and way more user friendly from docs and dev experience perspective. Also their dev velocity on new features is pretty insane.

Honestly didn't think that much of them until I started digging into these things.

Edit:
And just today their S3 competitor entered open beta

Interesting! This was ~2018.

My memory is a little hazy, but I remember having the photo taken at USCIS, walking over to a photo booth which asked to confirm some information like name or number and maybe a fingerprint too? Anyway, it wasn't a polaroid paperclipped to my forms: it seemed like a different system that would have to be linked to my application.

The images are very different: same gender, but different race, and off by about 30 years and 1 head of hair!
What are the qualifications to label something as "antidemocratic"?

There are many separate interests in a large country and thinking the only morally correct government is strictly majority rule is definitely a matter of debate.

The founders made it the way it is to prevent tyranny of the majority which was a major topic in political philosophy. You likewise wouldn't want to live in a place absolutely controlled by the 50% +1.

Geographic areas with lower population densities getting higher representation makes sense, interests aren't equally distributed nor are they distributed just to areas of high density. If you don't do this you risk power concentrations where people have to leave lower density places for higher density places if they don't go along with the majority opinion because they don't get representation and get disadvantaged by the majority.

People tend to like this when it benefits them and hate it when it doesn't, but there is good sense in it, especially when nationally the party split is nearly always very close to even.
The HN community is a bubble. I doubt very many people who participate here would either.

But many creative types I know have used at least one if not both. We are not the intended market.
Here’s one from Google https://pub.dev/packages/functions_framework
There probably is a plateau, but I was surprised at how high it is. My first job was for $8/hour. Next was for $20/hour. The one after that was $32K/year. Then I went to college. Then it was $66K/year. Then I did a startup for nothing. Then it was $100K/year salary, but TC was about $160K/year. Got up to $300K over the course of that job. Then another startup for nothing. Then back for $630K/year, and it went up to about $900K/year with stock appreciation. Probably less now with the market crash, but still a lot more than I ever thought was possible as a plain old employee.

You do have to interview & negotiate well, and keep your skills sharp, and I'd bet that I'm about at the ceiling of what's possible as an IC. But now I've transitioned into management and all those startup exec positions are theoretically open. :-) There is always somebody making buttloads of money in the economy; if you want it, figure out who it is and how to make yourself useful to them.
These are legitimate concerns, but this is like beheading to treat a headache. Technically it works.

I'd suggest to add a notification dialog when a root cert is added, and a good, clear UI to manage the certs: when added, by what app, disable, remove, etc.

My only experience with Rexx was on OS/2 trying to get my Multiprise 3000 up and running. I was very pleased that it was a plain text scripting language as the installer kept being annoying about software versions and I could just manually change the version it would accept.
That was his line. But (a) he was wrong, and (b) had the oncoming catastrophe been smaller than predicted, stalling action would still have been wrong.

The massive build-out of wind and solar power generation has made energy radically cheaper than it has ever been. Had we started sooner, we would not only have a much smaller crisis now, but we would have spent overwhelmingly less on coal and oil, and polluted correspondingly less. Even without the looming crisis, we would be much better off, and Saudi Arabia and Russia would not now command nearly so much influence in the world.

Exactly to the degree that Crichton personally stalled action, blood is on his hands.
"gee itd be great if that question was discussed in right-wing media"

I don't just mean on this issue, but in general. We see vastly different controls on guns/abortion/voting/etc from state to state. When is a restriction an infringement? Who decides that and on what basis? It seems that it's up to judges, but what happens if none of the judges are members of the minority group who are being restricted (think segregation)? That's the part I find interesting.
There's nothing unsual about that considering the transition to remote working. Its just another channel of communication now.
> What is broken is installing a custom CA into the system store on a rooted phone and making it work with all apps (apks) and Chrome.

yep, that's what I do. still seems to work here though. I'm scared to reboot
Cloudflare Workers with k/v store, R2 and their new D1 database.
You're probably already aware of this, but just in case you're not (or someone else reads this that's curious), running tmux (src: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) inside alacritty will give you tab functionality along with the ability to horizontally/vertically split and a host of other fun features.
From the blog post:

> If WordPress is shrinking, something else must be growing, this is, after all, a zero sum game. The very clear winners at the moment are Wix and Squarespace.

I disagree with the authors findings: When taking a look at the quaterly data https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_ma..., one can clearly see that WP and Shopify at least plateaued which is alright.

But the authors conclusion, that WP's loss gives points to Wix and SqSpace for me does not hold: The numbers for "None" still decreases and much more strongly than the two mentioned above.

He conveniently forgets the "None" partition, making is entire argument/criticism (for me) somewhat thin. He could in the same way argue, that Wix and Squarespace are more successful in getting non-CMS websites to switch.
RCV encompasses a lot of different systems, but the most common instantiation is something resembling instant runoff, and I am skeptical that it drives towards the middle.

If we believe that the appropriate compromise is no one's first choice, the first thing IRV does is throw away any "appropriate compromise".
1800s would be recent in the scales I’m talking about.

Can this be used with CUDA for GPGPU or is it somehow only relevant for graphics?
I think you may be mixing things up a bit.

Strings can be concatenated using either double pipes || or just no operator at all, E.G.

'String'FOO

will concatenate the 'String' literal and the FOO variable. Writing

'String' FOO

instead will put a literal space between the concatenated values. Hence, the || is useful for concatenating two variables:

FOO = BAR||BAZ

The dot is used for denoting compound variables which, together with the INTERPRET statement, is what was really novel about Rexx IMHO: https://datagubbe.se/rexxtut/
Also there is optimization/operations research if you want something a bit different. Less buzzwordy too.
For Windows, I've used API Monitor a lot to track .dll and API calls.

Having this as an option might be nice, though it's more likely to be useless at scale. Having it as the only option sounds like a nightmare: Blink and you'll miss the content you're interested in, with no easy way to get back to it. To actually stay connected and up-to-date you'd have to monitor your feed 24/7, manually filtering through piles of data you don't care about to find the rare gems. And what these busybodies in Minnesota are trying to mandate is not mere availability of a chronological feed, but exclusivity.
Efficiency is not the goal in my case. The localhost forward proxy does decrypt then re-encrypt according to how I have written the configuration, however that is exactly what I want because I need to be able to examine and manipulate HTTP requests and response bodies, among other things. Among the other things are, for example, specifying an acceptable TLS configuration, e.g., do not send SNI by default to all sites, use TLS1.3 only for sites that support it, and use ESNI for Cloudflare sites. These are options that a "modern" browser does not present to the user. If this setup was noticeabely slow I would not use it. IMO, it is faster than mitmproxy and requires less resources.

The proxy also converts http to https so all requests get encrypted regardless of which HTTP method is specified. "HTTPS everywhere" but not only for accessing www sites with a "modern" web browser but for any program with network access making DNS lookups and trying to make HTTP requests.

I generally do not use a "modern" browser. More often I use TCP clients that have no support for TLS. It is unlikely this setup would suit other computer users but it works for me.
Perhaps the best way to district is more about maximum contention in a race? Voroni partitioning so that the maximum number of "purple" districts are achieved makes sense to me.
