Social network for sharing and discovering web code snippets
CodeRoad is a new social network focused on sharing and exploring web code snippets made with simple HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

It is based on Instagram, but with the added value of code, which makes it more interactive and engaging than pure images and gives you the opportunity to practice your coding skills in a convenient, enjoyable way.

There is a built-in editor on the website in which you can edit any code you like. It is recommended for you to download the app as a PWA to provide you with the easiest native experience.

Because we're just starting, there is very little content, but if you like the idea, you can still use the site as convenient way to publish your mini projects and experimentations, while sharing it with the community and helping us grow.
I do kinda work with it (specification)

The mem coherency concept is cool

Seems like in next years we can expect progress in volatile mem sizes in compare to last 10-15 years of 8/16 GBs
> Del key, which on a scoansi terminal emits ^?

^? = ASCII DEL[elete] = 0x7F. Terminals where the Delete key sends Delete are doing it right.

Why is DEL 0x7F, when other control codes are <0x20? Because the American Standard Code for Information Interchange descended from teletype codes, and teletypes often used paper tape ‘storage’ where a 1 bit was a hole. So teletype codes would normally have a delete function punch all holes, because that would obliterate any other possible character (and typical of punches, advance to the next position, making DEL semantically a forward delete operation).

> on a vtxx terminal the Del key emits a multi byte escape sequence

Only VTxxx where xxx ≥ 200. The VT100 series and earlier had ASCII Delete and Backspace keys, but in the VT2xx era DEC got some funny ideas and provided only a ⌫ key, which left us an enduring mess.

Overtone is pretty great for being a programming environment where you can hear the results live as you evaluate code (https://github.com/overtone/overtone)

It's using SuperCollider under the hood (https://supercollider.github.io/) which describes itself as "A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition"

You can pretty much achieve anything in terms of programmable music composition with Overtone/SuperCollider.
Wrt "people standing around", software is the same. You look at what it takes to ship a one-line change in any nontrivial, well-engineered website or app, compare the textual code change with all the work that goes in waiting for the compiler, code review, writing and running unit tests, integration tests, running release QA tests, testing in prod, and final release, and you got a lot of apparent overhead "waiting around". One difference is perhaps that the work is more amenable to automation and adding machines to replace humans, but even that (as in construction) has its limits.

IMHO: Companies that make a profit are in php and rails (rarely in python). Companies that do not make a profit or have no intention to are in elixir, rust, typescript, go and node. I don't think this has anything to do with the language used - it's the attitude of the founders: "let's use easy boring tech"- that type of thinking extends into the business. The founders are focused on solving a business problem - not some hipster js framework. I don't want to code php, but after year 20 i am confident there is no escape.
The main benefit of exchanges is that they generate market liquidity. It's certainly possible to trade crypto without an exchange, but it's much more difficult to find buyers and sellers. I suspect that something akin to an exchange would always come about when there are lots of people who want to trade conveniently.

Curious. I did not have that experience. I was able to read the full article normally.
Yes, unfortunately this is often the case. people who don't really use or test the site in tor put in some half-baked support and it just ends up making things worse. But my grievances aside (and please don't take this personally, it's just an issue that I've encountered one too many times, so it gets on my nerves), thank you for fixing it, and indeed it looks like the onion URL is now online, it wasn't working for me earlier.
The difference is between something obvious and uninteresting (equity comp goes down when the value of the equity goes down) and something interesting and untrue (tech salaries are crashing). I get that post writer needs a hook in case they have something interesting to say about the equity comp situation (having read the article I don't think this is the case), but lying in the title to trick people into reading your article is still bad.
You have any evidence of this happening?

All cases I can think of for the last 4-5 years, have been Chrome/Firefox implements something -> The other implements it -> Standard pops up

What features has Chrome managed to standardize without having another browser implement the same feature?
I wouldn't be too sure about that the German people are rather more attached to the stability of their currency that the EU I'd say.
Yeah but ECB creates incentives for ballooning current expenditure.

At least in Spain, the government chooses helicoptering money over investment every single time. Or prestige projects (High Speed Rail) over practical ones (freight corridors with no so fast trains for people?), higher salaries for public employees (already high compared to private economy), public pensions, etc.

The only demands seems to be higher taxes every year for everyone else. No optimization, just raising and raising taxes every time.

This is not sustainable. Savings and income are taking a nosedive for everyone who's not sucking into the public budget.

This situation is going to explode, and it's going to be ugly, not only for us.

I'm pretty worried about it, honestly. Meanwhile half the country is cheering because the government is very good at selling their narratives and cooking the stats. The reality is we're getting poorer pretty fast.

Maybe germans have some fucking great plan because in 10 years they won't sell many cars here.
In the midst of layoffs from tech companies?

Supply and demand. Supply of available workers is going up due to crypto/tech bubble popping, remote work, etc, and demand is going down because we’re in a technical recession… why would base pay increase?

If your RSUs are significantly devalued due to a price drop most tech companies will just give you a supplemental refresh to bring you back up. You might not be 100% whole to your target total comp but nobody is letting good engineers take a 35%+ cut to TC (65% to stock) because if they do they will lose their top talent.

If I am a strong engineer and my comp gets cut by a 65% reduction in share price and I am at a BigTechCo then I can probably pretty easily:

1. Move to a peer company in regards to comp (Meta, Goog, Twtr, Msft, uber, airbnb)

2. Get a signing bonus of $40-100,000+ To do so

3. Get a new hire set of RSUs with a valuation at the current share price vs my previously underwater ones (which if the whole sector has gone down will probably work out really well for me long term).

TL;DR total comp at the elite/liquid RSU level wont go down much.

> They sold just for perception reasons.

Based on the charts, as best I can tell those bitcoins were probably bought and sold at approximately the same price range. This assumes the buying prices in February 2021, and selling Q1 2022. One might speculate Tesla set-up an automatic stop-loss trade.

I dunno, during economic recessions it's generally wise financial advice to park cash on the sidelines, liquidate fluid assets, etc..

I wonder if Gitlab takes current salary into account? Or is the location-based pay scale the only thing they use? It would seem silly - incompetent even - to not even offer someone's current salary just because of their little calculator.

Although I recent interviewed for a place (the whole gambit) and their offer didn't even match my salary, let alone total comp. And I was very clear. They blamed their "salary bands."

Author here. Happy to take any feedback or answer any questions about this post.
Some people are going to buy the "you'll get shares at a better price at the next refresh", at least for a year or two. TBF, if that happens and prices go back you should be very happy.

Question is whether it's going to be a multi-year collapse with the shares under water for ages and ages.
Yes, I thought it wouldn’t last this long. But with this structure it can’t survive, even France is now spiraling out of control in debt.

The question is whether a more federal eu is possible, and if northern states are willing to pay for the south.

Now, with the current economic situation in Germany, and the gas issue hanging over their heads, I think this is quite different to the 2008 crisis. Germany might be less and less willing to pay for everything
I have nothing against incentivizing smaller electric cars. But the problem is folks will just buy fossil fuel cars of the same class because they’re slightly lighter (also can be weighed with an empty gas tank).
Privileged is the wrong word, but GP is not entirely wrong. What you linked to is only the first part of the exploit and analysis.

From the conclusion of the second post, which analyses the sandbox escape:

> Perhaps the most striking takeaway is the depth of the attack surface reachable from what would hopefully be a fairly constrained sandbox. [...] The expressive power of NSXPC just seems fundamentally ill-suited for use across sandbox boundaries, even though it was designed with exactly that in mind. [...]

(The above is severely cut down, reading at least the entire conclusion or even the whole post is worth it)

Most other products cannot run apps. There is no alternative supplier of iOS devices so that people can run the apps that they bought from other companies via the Appstore.
I expect this won't be the last acquisition on the health front. All tech-adjacent companies are cheap right now and Amazon is making a big push into health (Amazon Care & Pharmacy). More of these acquisitions can accelerate plans. As a bonus, One Medical already runs on AWS.
I'm biased of course - but CAST AI solution is way better :)
First huge difference - CAST AI Kubernetes cost monitoring is free with no limits to the number of clusters you can connect or nodes as Kubecost;
CAST AI also has automation module:
-rightsizing
-autoscaling
-bin packing
-spot instances automation with fallback
-...

On average companies saves ~63% of their current cloud cost with CAST, take a look, it's FREE
Furthermore, he was only wrong on point #3.

People make fun of this post on account of Dropbox having been a commercial success, but the first points are still valid (and even more true today, with modern tooling) that FOSS self-hosted solutions are far better, more flexible, and serve as a learning/building opportunity - something the 2022 world of vendor lock-in, dumbed-down "user friendly" solutions, and vast data collection sorely needs more of.

From a currency area / international trade POV it's about the fundamental problems of having a common currency used among countries who have no common fiscal policy[1]. If Greece and Germany had their own currencies, the exchange rates set by the free forex markets would have fixed many of the curernt problems and their trade balances would be neutral, but instead Germany has been running high trade surpluses and Greece has had high trade deficits (leading to debt) due to how the euro floats, and the central bank interest rate instrument is blunt and applies equally to all currency union countries.

See eg https://archive.nytimes.com/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/0... for some history of how this wasn't really unexpected. Interestingly in that article higher inflation is seen as a potentially promising tool: "[T]he burden of adjustment might be substantially less if the overall Eurozone inflation rate were higher, so that Spain and other peripheral nations could restore competitiveness simply by lagging inflation in the core countries"

[1] The EU budget is tiny compared to national budgets (or eg federal budget in the US), < 3% of the EU GDP.

The USA has a major problem with prisons, no doubt. USA over prosecutes, criminalizes things that shouldn't be criminalized (eating plants that grow naturally, consensual adult sex work, and many other things), has sentencing and treatment inconsistencies and inequities that are wrong, but do you really think US is worse/less ethical than Chinese prisons, labor camps, and general disappearance of persons? (I'm genuinely asking, not trying to make a rhetorical point through questioning. If that's what you really think, I'd like to understand your perspective)
From the description, it would probably be a better fit to work as a contractor via an agency. You get the hit of the agency comission but at least most of the talking will be through some Project manager assigned to the client.

>Thus the only solution to reduce your carbon footprint is to pretty much just spend less money! But no one wants that do they? They just want to have their cake and also eat it so we are just doomed.

I do. I've never been more frugal in my life (almost an hermit now) and yet I'm earning >€200K/y and have over $4M in $TSLA at ~35 y-o. I don't spend because I know any spending would end up adding pollution more than satisfy me.

I could give all the assets now though but I'm not sure which organization would best use it to speed up the transition to sustainable energy and prevent biodiversity collapse (to many players in clean energy don't care about the latter and even would work to worsen the situation).
Thanks for that! The speculation against the pound and lira I heard of, but that was before my time and the retroactive tax wasn't ever thought in school, at least I'd like to think that I had remembered such things.

Not sure how that would play out on todays (well, current as today Italy's last gov is no more) landscape...
I don't get it: "Developer Edition" laptop, but there are no function keys. Am I old and should learn some new tricks to use keyboards with less keys?
Yes. It was. Every thing they had on it.

Some things, like cruise control, have existed since early 1900s. They just came back at different forms and price points.
I see what you're saying, but I also think a case could be made that democracies rely on violence less than other forms.

I'm assuming that solid democracies are less likely to have civil wars, international wars, or genocides, than countries that are more authoritarian. They may also have less violent crime and less use of the death penalty.

Anyway, if you think "the tyranny of the majority" is bad, just wait until you see "the tyranny of the minority".
Keep reading after that line. They're talking about the total number of out-of-circulation copies of a book in all closed US public libraries, not the ones they have the explicit right to use. And earlier they say the emergency library temporarily lifted the 1 to 1 ratio controls, which is openly admitting they did.

> At the scale of Amazon sized companies in the US, healthcare costs become part of the strategic equation of how you manage your business.

Amazon employ about 1.3 million staff. Say you wanted to provide healthcare for your employee's families too, so we'll pick about 2.75 million in total (because I'm guessing that a lot of Amazon employees have a partner but no children). That puts you at roughly half the population of Scotland.

Scotland spends about £16 billion a year on healthcare, for everyone in all stages of life, many of whom have extremely complex healthcare needs. To provide the equivalent of NHS Scotland to an Amazon-size company you'd get change out of £8bn, and that would provide things like free prescriptions, and all healthcare requirements free at point of need. I bet you could sharpen the pencil a bit on that since you've already got massive supply chain logistics in place.

That's not a lot of money really.
This means two things:

1) Worse health care

2) Medicare for All is dead in the U.S.
In video games (simulations) nothing exists unless a player looks at it. When you look at it all the work is done to determine what it looks like based on the set of algorithms. This seem familiar to the claims in the article.

I knew when I read "I was on a two person team" that you were about to get royally fucked. Been there myself.

I'll never forget so long as I live that "two is one and one is none". I now have a minimum team size of at least 4 developers. Simply not comfortable with anything less.

Show HN: Visualizing the Most Important Physicists
Tariffs are only *one* means of trade policy. Pretending that they are the end all be all is nonsense. One quick example: France passed a Tax bill which targets only companies with revenues of more than 25 million euros there and 750 million globally. The catch? There's 30 companies which it applies to, but only one which is French[1]. Thus it is officially classified as merely local tax and not a tariff but in effect is a tariff on large foreign companies to give pricing advantages to local French ones. But per your measurement is a zero percentage tariff.

There are plenty of other subsidies and policy making ways to be protectionist.

And if it really were such nonsense to suggest other wise, why can you not explain the discrepancy of the US - EU trade balance. It should be simple.

As a corporate finance person that runs budgets for medium to large corporate, this is pretty spot on in those environments.

I’ve used various software to help, but it always comes back to spreadsheets. It’s usually too business specific and rapidly changing to try to use something off the self. Even when you build your perfect custom module in a software like Anaplan, Adaptive, Hyperion, etc. you’re at risk because the very algorithm of how you model labor can and does change and sometimes frequently even though you may think that’s something that should be rather set & forget it’s not. So the adhoc-ability of spreadsheets win.

The human processes are much more difficult to wrangle and change in a whim. If you’re growing fast, usually prioritization has to come into place and it’s like a horse race. Even some role that’s not even planned can suddenly pop up and get hired without budget. This happens a lot when the perfect candidate comes available and the company wasn’t originally going to hire but don’t want to miss the opportunity.

I’d love to be able to say, go build this B2B solution HN! But honestly, I have a hard time imagining anything would compete with the spreadsheet. It’s not like people haven’t already tried, it just doesn’t work well in practice for the end users.
