I recently switched to vertical tabs in FF (Sidebery) and it is an incredibly better approach. Why the hell is this not built in to the browser??? It is lame that Mozilla isn't baking this kind of core functionality in. On top of that, they make it a PITA to kill the stupid horizontal tabs.

Supposedly Edge has a vertical tabs option. Chrome doesn't seem to even have a plug in for it.

In general, all data of live clusters will also be stored locally at a PageServer.

Only in recovery scenarios will a PageServer not hold the data that is needed to serve the requests of a compute node - but that would recover quickly as the local cache of the PageServer is repopulated with data from S3.

Is there any way to write commands where I could give my own time weighting to certain types of roads for route finding?

Google maps, organic maps, osmand+, I still have to double check what crazy suggestion it has made. Single track gravel roads over a perfectly safe alternative a lot of the time.

I have the avoid unpaved roads options ticked... it would be great to have some machine learning magic take a look at a street view picture and decide if there is grass growing up the middle of the road and add a weighted chance of needing to reverse 200 metres when there is other traffic

Unless the server is in my house, I get at least 20ms round trip (thanks bonded VDSL2), so I'm a frame behind already. Add input sampling, codec delays, and video output delays and I'm at least two frames, probably three. That's going to be not great.
Your comment got me thinking about training to be the captain of a large sea vessel. In that case there's certainly are many things you can learn to be an effective captain and manage a crew regardless of where you're going. I'm wondering if that doesn't apply to software startups as well. The kinds of behavioral lessons you have to learn to be an effective leader have always struck me as somehow dishonest and manipulative, but maybe that's not quite right. It is certainly more conscious behavior more goal-oriented behavior and that increases the risk of inauthenticity. But I can see how learning certain techniques and guidelines could help in general.

I suppose at the end of the day I'd like to understand how you can read a manual like "How to win Friends and influence people" while still maintaining high standards of quality and integrity. Because it seems like most people read books like that and become spineless manipulative dishonest people. I've come to prefer the honest, harsh judgments of technologists to the constructed speech you often get from leaders. I would be thrilled to work with a leader who can somehow square that circle.

I mentioned two, the binaries and the long tentacles. To be clear, I was talking about systemd using binaries in place of plain text LOG files. Both those choices are a huge break from linux philosophy. I expected systemd pros would know I was talking about that.

Not sure what you expect to happen. There won't be any way to tell the difference, and even if there was nobody would care. In Moscow on a busy street, you'll probably be ignored for some time until someone helps you, not just because they are assholes there, but simply because most people aren't locals; in most sub-1M cities, there will be plenty of people willing to help.

HEPA filters get more effective overtime in exchange for more restricted airflow. Thus the failure mode is "air is not flowing" and not "air is not getting cleaned".

At home I use 3 air filters in various rooms. These are standard/mid-range Japanese Sharp filters. Japanese because we live in Japan, not because Japanese HEPA filters are special. The filters themselves can be bought for about 30$ online. When the filters get near end of life I've had success by switching to a higher fan speed. This is not magic, at some point even on the highest setting airflow starts to match the old medium speed. The high speed mode consumes about 4x the electricity of medium speed.

The net result is there exists an intersection point where continuing to use a filter costs more money than replacing. For us in Japan with expensive electricity this point exists sometime after the airflow has diminished but the filter is viable on high speed. In cheap electricity countries the filter might become unusable before electricity becomes a significant cost.

I’ve been enjoying using Tauri [0] to develop a desktop app for the last few months. As someone who’s been a web dev, and a C++/Qt dev before that, I think it strikes a nice balance. I can use my web skills on the UI, and do the heavy lifting in Rust, and it’s all very fast.

I’m building a video editor [1] (actually rebuilding an app that was originally in Swift) and I’ve been happy to see that the performance is great. I think it feels faster than some of the Qt-based editors I’ve tried. I haven’t noticed JS being the bottleneck - way more often it’s been that I’m doing something sub-optimal on the Rust side.

Tauri still feels early in some aspects, but it’s moving quickly and they’re buttoning things up. I think it’s already a strong contender in the space currently (mostly) owned by Electron.

If you truly thought Ukraine would win then you’re an outlier - the consensus expectation was that Ukraine would fall relatively quickly to Russia.
I'd assume they recognized this, which is why it's implemented as a warning rather than a ban.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the first step towards correlating "Are you the 1% using huge amounts of Colab time to only run deepfake models?"

We'll see what the follow-up is, but at least the initial implementation seems less auto-ban-y than more mature Google services default to.

An interesting thought - it is so much easier to learn to contribute good code to an area you’re unfamiliar with when the codebase is already beautifully designed.

It’s a teaching tool in itself. You can essentially hire a janitor and make them an architect when everything just makes sense already and guides them in the right direction.
> crises that everyone can see coming from miles away just shows you that our political class is not doing its job.

While I don't agree that everyone saw the energy capacity issues from miles away (even if it's obvious in retrospect), I do agree that our political class is not doing their job.

But I disagree with the partisan political analysis of it. The problem isn't that we have a lack of diversity of political opinion, and in fact there's a huge diversity in democratic opinions, as big as I ever saw between democrats and republicans in the 1980s.

The problem is that we have embraced an extreme form of conservatism that rejects changes to the status quo, and let's a tiny number of people prevent any form of change. We have embraced the power of the veto in nearly all parts of our government. Which may be fine if you are trying to stop negative changes.

But we live in an era where we need lots and lots and lots of positive change in our system in California. And all those spots that allow vetos have blocked us from making those changes.

The one story that gives me hope is of the story of a NIMBH blocking thousands of students from being enrolled in Berkeley. It set off a media storm and the legislature finally took action to overturn this one specific case. Sure, it was only because it was the parents of thousands of over-achieving students reacting with rage. But it gave me hope that this sort of "we can't change anything" attitude can at least be confronted.

>your proposal of stopping renewables

This is not my proposal. It's the unfortunate side effect. What happened is that now that we're feeling the pinch, we're building fossil plants again.

I guess if I had a proposal at all, it would be to keep existing generation online while there continues to be supply shortages.

>only way forward is lots more renewables and storage

Now, I don't know that I'm 100% on board with that. How much land are we willing to ruin to wind and solar farms? Then there's the strip mining and slavery required for the lithium...

All these things combined makes it apparent to me that we're not quite there yet. Let's keep researching. In fact, let's make it the #1 priority. Already there seems to be a lot of promising development, e.g., NaO2 batteries.
I'm not saying they should say English is from the UK, although as a matter of fact it is, and I don't know why that would offend anyone. I'm not offended either way.

For me it is lack of scrolling. With many domains that scripts should be loaded from blocked (umatrix) some modern sites show lengthy content but no scroll bar. It might be intended to set up the view by script depending on the device, but for sure it feels as if it is intentionally done to make visitors load/run the scripts.
I always enjoy a good leftist source posted to discredit experiences felt by my friends in real-life. "Here are some facts from this website Joe so stop complaining." Meanwhile in reality outside of the internet my friends have been mugged, harassed and assaulted for walking SF streets that were once the safest.

The problem with these types of sources is they are collected by journalists who do not back check their own work. They are trying to make a political point.

Crime statistics are based on reporting which is higher in Red states. Murder areas like Chicago have thousands of incidences of crime that go unreported.
"Abomination" is not a good enough argument. Systemd is very useful, and in order for someone to convince me not to use it, I need to see a good argument against it. "It's too big, it's an abomination" don't have clear technical implications, therefore don't make good technical arguments.

PoW blockchain mining is like the absolute sweet spot for surplus renewables: it’s time insensitive, energy-intensive, and fucking lucrative. I’m a little reluctant to write off anything putting massive upward pressure on photovoltaic efficiency.

I don’t remember where I read the thing about Iceland, but I was trying to buy a bunch of NVIDIA cards at the time and every supplier I spoke to was like: “Iceland bro, sorry”.

If you’re just against this thing by all means be against it. I’m certainly against parts of it. But whether some sketchy-ass coal from China gets used to mine BitCoin or gets shipped to NK to run whatever godawful shit they’re up to? I hope NK is just mining BTC, because I can think of about a zillion worse things they could be doing with off-the-books coal.

Ultimately HN isn’t a speculation society, and if you really think I’m in outer space on this tell me so and I’ll carve an hour or three out of a busy work week to pull all the footnotes and resoundingly corner you with facts and figures.

But if you just don’t like BitCoin? Well I don’t exactly love it either, and we can leave it at that.
I actually wanted to, but that required getting a job there first. I was able to get a CS degree and now I am making more than enough here, but I am still behind and the process of starting a new career late in life has been grueling.
Yeah as I said the best thing is to remove the flag, because languages aren't flags. As someone else said, just put the language name in its own language. I'm not jumping up and down annoyed, I'm not even really annoyed, I just wanted to share this cultural insight that IMO was indicative of a larger issue of having flags at all.

I agree with your reasoning mostly, and can remember situations when I wanted to make an event shoot through a finished element but couldn’t, at least not easily (it wasn’t web). But I think that it wasn’t a great idea either to make it the default and burden a programmer with this decision in each handler. The current way of doing it is pretty error-prone and bloats each handler with checks which are otherwise mostly pointless or tedious. This incentivizes non-experts to omit that part and just cargo in stopPropagation() calls anyway.
Wtf are you talking about?!
Correct: we do not yet use k8s for provisioning the Safekeepers and PageServers for our closed-beta cloud offering, and the PostgreSQL instances are managed in k8s by our closed-source console. As such, there's little we can open-source at the orchestration level at this point in time.

I did try this. "happy" is complicated for me. I'm perhaps pricing in too much of the future into this decision, but it's pretty life-constraining over the longer term so I think less about the day-to-day and more about future.
Curated List of GAN Applications
>The problem is it's just not possible to train juniors the right way fast enough. I'm confident I can train almost anyone with basic programming aptitude to be a 95th percentile front-end dev, but it'll take a year or two, and my already average productivity will tank during it.

Nobody taught me anything, apart my teachers at University. Nobody hand holded me. I was able to learn and grow by myself, by reading, applying, trying to find solutions, applying those solutions. Which I continue to this day.

Why should be juniors hand holded? You show them the application, you explain it to them, you give them time to look into it, you reply to their questions about the application and you give them tasks. If they are any good, they should be capable to learn without hand holding.

It strikes me that new anything is usually better than older, used things. So almost by definition, anyone building a new version of X is going to build something nicer than the old, used versions of X and this will be perceived as a luxury.
