> their new arch breaks docker builds

I’ve seen this complaint quite a bit on HN, and I don’t really understand it. Apple helped Docker port over to arm64 on the Mac (which was one of the first pieces of software to use the new fancy hypervisor APIs), and it’s been working for over a year now. If your docker images can’t build on arm64, I don’t really understand how Apple or Docker can make that any easier. Most of the popular images have arm64 builds now, the only holdout I know of is MySQL due to Oracle being Oracle. If you’re building your own images, GitHub Actions and many other CI providers have had ARM64 agents for a long time (and you can build arm Docker images in QEMU super easy on GHA if you need hosted agents).

There’s not much of an excuse anymore, and since arm instances are cheaper on some public clouds, you should be making sure your stuff runs on arm64 now. Especially if it’s a typical Node/.NET/Java/Ruby/Python app, they’ve been arm native for years.
As always, you cannot make blanket statements with software such as "you don't need to worry about scale".

Perhaps your application does need to worry about scale and then if you don't then you're a fool. Then you launch, succeed and collapse or get beaten by competition because the effort to scale was beyond you in the needed time.

The blanket statement that is true about software is "be wary of blanket statements about software development".

How will hacker news deal with spammers from Texas? If HN isn't allowed to moderate somehow, spammers from Texas will externalize some of the costs of advertising by using HN to store and forward ads.

There once was a browser based off of Gecko that was very popular until the team removed all the features that users loved about it. It was written in C and GTK+. It was much faster than seamonkey and only ran on linux, but when all the good features were dropped, most people moved to phoenix, later renamed firefox.

We have the technology to stack dwellings on top of each other. If commute times become unreasonable we also have the technology to reduce it, with trams or rail. Even better build the commute infrastructure first and then the housing but Singapore and Manhattan show pretty clearly what’s possible. Shanghai didn’t have a metro system 20 years ago.

I am seeing so much doom and gloom, I don't think we're in for a "correction" any time soon. Everyone thinks they're Michael Burry these days. If all of Wall Street and their mom says it's going to crash, it's probably not crashing. My prediction is choppy seas until the midterms, and then back to all-time-highs.

Housing will take a 30% haircut, and we'll probably see some of the over-extended corporate debt come to roost as well. But tech is going to be fine, and crypto will bounce back by EOY.

2) The TPU team used this method to help make TPUs. This is a flagship product, with billions of dollars on the line. There's just no way Google would sacrifice the quality of TPU to help a couple AI researchers look good.

I think it's time for fundamental pieces of Internet infrastructure like registrars to be classified and regulated as utilities. Make it as hard to steal someone's domain at it is to shut off their water.
Agreed in principle. In this instance they have basically rigged up a machine to poll and parse the GCP API Discovery service into a native provider. https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/using

It’s promise is sustainably same-day parity with platform APIs. It is generated code, so it may not be semantically pleasing, but it should just work. I haven’t spent much time with it to form a nuanced opinion but I do think it’s a novel and reasonable approach.

What I'm suggesting is that "Important software has been written by people who couldn't/didn't do X" is not a very strong indication that X is not a valuable quality that employers should want in their engineers.
I'm familiar with how it feels to be at the wrong end of a dispute like this, but I think it's important to tell you that it would strengthen your case if you had shared more information about your attempts to contact them. Did you call? Or initiate a chat? How did it end up resolving? The thread you have only confirms the beginning of the problem, not the middle or the end.

EDIT: my motivation here is to tell you honestly what would strengthen your case. There is no upside for me in this conversation. I'm not affiliated with namecheap or any other registrar, and am merely offering my perspective: as a happy customer, I can be moved by other people's bad experiences, but they must be well documented. If you don't like hearing that, then ignore it.
I tried to run rocket chat behind nginx, Android mobile clients updated correctly for a few minutes after original sync, and then it would break and remain broken unless I restarted rocket chat.

It's probably a websockets issue.

Key phrase: estate tax. This was a taxable transfer of property that someone didn't take to the grave.
The problem I have is that if these requests are unrealistic, they should just say that. As far as I can tell, what they're currently doing requires more effort to vet repair shops and create an NDA than if they just dumped the schematics online.

Now, maybe there's a great reason for this. Maybe they're under NDA and can't reveal part of the schematics. Maybe releasing these schematics would make it super easy for a competitor to completely steal everything. Maybe they are going to release the full schematics and we're waiting on their engineering team and legal team to review them.

The problem here is that Framework hasn't communicated any of this. Every time they're asked they don't seem to give any reason and just dodge around with "we'd love to release the full schematics". Well, why haven't you then? Please tell us.
> The tiny area that makes up the City and County of San Francisco is relatively high density for its size,

Somewhat, but not to the extent you'd expect of an metropolitan core (which it arguably isn't, it's more just the cultural core of the Bay Area.) The City and County of San Francisco is the most dense county in California, but not the most dense city in the Bay Area, or even the densest area of similar size in the Bay Area. A similar sized slice of Santa Clara County including all of San Jose would still be higher density if the entire 50ish mi² outside of San Jose was completely depopulated. The urban core of Alameda County (the continuous strip consisting of the cities of Albany, Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, Alameda, Piedmont, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and Hayward) has greater population and greater population density than San Francisco, too.

You could do what CRIU does, but leave the original process running, and arrange to have a composite {instance ID, PID} as the return value (different on both sides).

(Trivia: in Unix VI, fork() returns both PIDs, and the C library stub arranges to return 0 to the child and the child's PID to the parent.)
The fastest virtual DOM is no virtual DOM at all.

Rather than creating and diffing a fine-grained tree of elements every render, it's very easy to use the syntactic structure of a template to see exactly what parts can and cannot change. To get stable and minimal DOM updates you just compare the template identity to the previously rendered template - if they match you update the dynamic expressions, if they don't you clear and render the new template.

This is what we did with lit-html and it's quite a bit faster (and smaller) than React and doesn't require a compiler because it uses standard JS tagged template literals. https://lit.dev/docs/libraries/standalone-templates/

It's a very simple approach and very, very hard to beat in the fast/small/simple/buildless tradeoff space. I hope one day that the DOM can include standard updatable DOM with a technique like this on top of the template instantiation proposal from Apple. It's such a common need that it should be built in.

Could work, maybe. I'd probably want facial expressions and body language though. The facial expressions of "I'm confused" or "I get it" are crucial. And the gestures of "we're both looking at this while I explain it" "now I stand up a little bit, want to give an example a try?"

Sounds dumb when written out, but the alternative is to keep asking "do you understand?" And then getting back "yes" or "(lying) yes," because nobody ever says they don't understand if the question is asked at them directly.
I played around with Dylan around a decade ago. Maybe my Scheme comparison comes more from it having just one namespace (lisp-1) rather than the more functional aspects of Scheme. MOP is definitely from CL though.

> I agree that the late 19th to mid 20th century time period sounds amazing

When was the last time you had a tooth pulled without pain killers or antibiotics? How many of your siblings died from cholera, smallpox, or measles? How many were crippled by polio? How many women have you known who died during childbirth? What percentage of the population lived and died as slaves then vs now?

That time period was only good for the rare subset of people "worth" writing about, and even they encountered a great deal more suffering and hardship than we are likely to experience.

The few minutes you spent typing this comment, in a temperature controlled room, free from severe hunger, out of immediate danger, likely without a serious illness, would probably have been the most peaceful and comfortable moment in the lives of most of the people from that period.
The most likely option would be to pursue a more severe economic sanctions and isolation system, similar to how we treat North Korea. But while Putin is capable of anything, I think use of nuclear weapons is unlikely at this point in the war. Taking out a city wouldn't align with the propaganda that he's been feeding the Russian people. And the Ukrainian military forces are already dispersed enough that they don't make good targets.
> Logic board repair – $250-$425 (depending on model)

From https://www.rossmanngroup.com/liquid-damage/. Their pricing is fairly competitive, you won't find many places that are significantly cheaper for good quality work.

> but let it be said that these repairs can be done fairly cheap with some research and a bit of parts gathering. Cheaper than 350 cheap, in most cases.

I don't know about that for component level repairs. Sure you can replace a hard drive, memory, a wifi card or a fan but those can all be done already with the Framework laptop without the detailed schematics. Most people are not knowledgeable enough and even if they were they likely wouldn't feel comfortable doing component level repairs on a motherboard, especially if they have to do any soldering. There's a reason that the vast majority of places computer repair places don't do component level repairs. You need a lot of expertise to do so, and that expertise doesn't come cheap.
Module level repair novel you say?

Anything that will make people consider their Netflix subscription is gonna be a loser for Netflix.

Most people have had Netflix for so long they don’t even think about it as an expense. My family, for example, have been paying for Netflix through TMobile and we got it at a time when TMobile was offering it for free.

Over the past couple of years the subsidized price seems to have increased beyond several very decent streaming services.

The very act of looking at the bill means we will be bailing out of the Netflix subscription, the moment we’ve completed the latest season of Stranger Things.

Netflix is making a mistake by making people think about their Netflix subscription.
I agree with this to a certain extent. But it seems like this economic downturn is more a result of pumping the economy full of (near) zero-interest rate money and that cash inflating a growth stock bubble, as opposed to a tech bubble being inflated by VCs directly.

In an economic downturn, VCs are going to have more power and preach more financial prudence. But VCs are awash in capital right now.[1] Their money needs to flow somewhere in order to provide a return to their LPs. How does that factor into this analysis?

My hypothesis is that the negative unit-economic businesses that the article refers to will falter, but there are plenty of early-stage startups (the ones that didn't need a multi-billion dollar round from Softbank to win their category) that will be fine.

Postgresql. No framework (well there is rather low level one of my own but it is fluid). Using 4 libs for JSON, postgres, HTTP, logging. I expose basically JSON based RPC. Peers / Clients post JSON commands and receive JSON replies.

Upon startup all data (except couple of giant tables) is sucked from DB into RAM into highly efficient data structures hence most reading requests are handled in microseconds. Those 2 giant tables are loaded into the same structs but partially. This is usually enough as RAM keeps last few years worth of data and requests that need something older come just couple of times per month. Only writes touch the database and immediately reflected in RAM as well.

This is just an example. I write game like servers as well and those use different approach. Generally I treat each project / product individually.

Hopefully Intel's lawyers realise that suing its customers who are buying its products would be a bad idea. If anything, getting Intel to open up more documentation --- like it used to have --- would increase sales and community reputation. Especially with its diminishing performance lead, and the rise of performant but even more horribly proprietary ARM SoCs, opening up seems to make even more sense. Remember that x86 and the PC architecture dominated the computing industry because it was open.
Most Solar installations have Break even at about 7 - 10 years from date of operation.

The board is using licensed designs from the part manufacturers such as Intel. I'm quite sure they would be in trouble if they shared too much.
