I worked for a company that opted for Windows Embedded back in the early 2000s, probably inspired by Tektronix scopes due to them also making scientific instruments.

They boomed. They must have had good relationships with Microsoft because they produced kernel patches just for them.

Anyway, 15 years later of "it works now, why change it", they start a new project to rewrite the cash cow. It was a Phoenix Project; and it also had a name associated with rebirth, as most of these projects do. Turns out, Windows Embedded is still not a good idea 20 years later, and they couldn't change their code because it was so tightly coupled with Windows. The project took 250% more time than budgeted and even then it was a MVP.

A competitor decided to do the same product but in Yocto Linux using modern tech and remade the cash cow product in less than their budgeted time. The interface was snappy, there was barely no bugs, etc.

Software entropy is real, and I've seen it in many startups that got bought out after they boomed. Then the entropy is left for those who weren't there during booming phase as a poisoned gift. I like to call it tech inflation.
I'm still having a hard time to think through all the implications. How will this change websites which depend on continuous content, for example meme's? At which point can it be used as an compression algorithm in order to store one's full live? Or at least all my videos and pictures with lossy compression? Can we all create our own art effortlessly, and resize it as we want? When will this reach 3D modelling and 3D printing?
Thanks, that’s what I was looking for.

Does this actually solve a problem? You still need to implement the lambda interface. so as someone who hasn’t used them, containers just seem to replace the zip file format with no actual portability benefit

Wow…extremely relatable.

Sometimes I only want to price compare something online and order it, which should be a 5-10 minute process. It’ll take me 30 minutes spread over 10 3-minute bursts.

Based on what?

Perhaps we can discard the classic "two quarters of negative GDP growth". But if we do, then from whose perspective does a 3% drop in real wages in six months [1] (and a 4.4% YoY drop in real weekly earnings [2]) not count as a recession?

This is ok for a logo like this where it’s fair to say the base level expectation is not super creative. This logo is cool, but it doesn’t really stand out or make the product ver distinctive. If I am running a hobby or OS project that’s fine, but if I was investing a lot in sales/marketing then paying a real artist to make something interesting and novel is a rounding error.
Well that's the thing, you can't just pack them more tightly. Maybe in places with demand, but not here. There is no demand. Shops open and they close before long. Derelict properties are razed and left as vacant lots because there's no interest in investing on renovating. The major city this suburb feeds into is half its historical population peak, still reeling from white flight in the 1960s.

> I dont' think it's possible to have an trans-national employment contract (which labor laws would the contract observe? The French ones or the US ones?)

Those contracts are of course possible and exist - although rare due to paperwork hell you need to go through. The labor law of the employee's country is observed and they usually need to handle pension/health contributions on their side. In most of EU at least.

It is true though that most EU countries also demand that you open a local subsidiary once you have a certain amount of employees there (~5-10).
> has to be a human who decides 'that's the one that looks good'

Assuming the status quo, true. As we evolve our lives around emerging AI tech I think we will at first be the curators and creative directors of AI, but eventually a creative agency will defer to the AI as it knows more about our tastes, market, audience, and the ENTIRE HISTORY of art, design, marketing, tastes, trends, and so on.

Eventually it won't make sense to have a stupid human rubber stamp what the all powerful AI suggests. Just as it does not make sense for Facebook to curate news feeds.

Airflow helped my team out a lot a couple years ago mainly for the simplicity of the topdown UI-based view of a complicated ETL AND the ability to retry parts of the ETL.

We had lots of lessons learned. For instance, why does PythonOperator even exist? It takes a callable and thus you're likely not going to see good coding pattern emerge for something that needs to be 1000+ LoC. Instead, we just subclassed BaseOperator and used tried-and-true OO principles.
Ethereum has had many bugs, mistakes and flaws.

Before 2018, Ethereum has a similar downtime to Solana

One thing I've noticed about a lot of inward-facing HCI topics is that they are very focused on "the code", but that's just a portion of what's involved in common working loops. I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff that surrounds the code, and it's clear that large orgs are starting to as well, if they haven't already, though there is little convergence on the topic. Am I wrong about these topics not being in the literature? Am I not looking for the right topics or terms, or is this not happening at all in academic research? And if it's not happening, how do we draw researchers' attention to it?
Mine is paid for by Medicare, but Medicare will only pay for a CGM for type 1 diabetics who actively manage their diabetes based on the CGM data as directed by a physician. For people not covered by Medicare (almost everyone under age 65), I don't know, but I suppose it depends on their insurance company and/or employer, etc, etc, like just about everything. I talk with someone who provides services to diabetics in a low cost clinic funded as a charity for persons with very low income, and they never mention any possibility of getting CGMs for their patients.

Based on my experience with a couple of different CGMs, I guess that the target market of the CGM makers includes many more type 2 diabetics than type 1, both because there are many more type 2 diabetics than type 1, and because the larger number would would yield much more profit; and I also expect that the CGM would generally work better for a type 2 diabetic than my CGMs have worked for me, because my problems with the devices have been caused by fluctuations in blood glucose levels resulting from the sometimes large doses of fast-acting insulin that I take.

What is your take on this situation?
$8.5 million according to a sibling comment.
The main point still stands. The crypto world sees "the code is the law" and non-repudiable/non-reversible transactions as a feature. The rest of the world (correctly in my view) sees it as a bug.
What? There was clearly no discussion, since my reply was made directly to your comment. I have a self-hosting environment that works well for me, but I would like to know from someone (presumably) more knowledgeable if Kubernetes would be helpful. Clearly I was wrong to assume that you, like a normal person, wouldn't mind sharing your knowledge with someone genuinely interested.

Flamewars are against the site guidelines. Especially generic flamewars, and even more especially generic flamewars on classic flamewar topics.

A generic "religion is superstition" flamewar is the most textbook case in the genre, and also easily avoidable. We don't want that here, so please don't post like that.

Reading https://blog.soliditylang.org/2022/04/09/announcing-the-unde...:

> In Solidity, the order of evaluation of sub-expressions is unspecified. This means that in f(g(), h()), g() might get evaluated before h() or h() might get evaluated before g(). Practically, this order is predictable, but Solidity code shouldn’t depend on that behavior between compiler versions. In most circumstances g() is evaluated before h() (left-to-right order), which is also the behavior that most languages specify in their standards. However, in the case of emitting an event with indexed arguments, the arguments are evaluated right-to-left.

I feel that order-of-evaluation dependence is a special case of the general conflict between expression-oriented (functional-style) programming, and impure operations requiring sequential reasoning. Another case of this conflict is temporary values (expressions) with side-effectful destructors (sequential reasoning), for example https://fasterthanli.me/articles/a-rust-match-made-in-hell#w....

At this point, is it good practice to avoid using side-effectful procedure calls as parameters to other expressions (especially those with multiple inputs), but instead first assign to a temporary value to make order of operations explicit?

Keep a pool of eg 5 pods that are warm and good to go. When a user needs one, the pod pulls in necessary config data which should be quick as it's already initialized.
I'd say it makes Java's GC worse at nearly every job as that means the defaults probably aren't what you want but are probably what you are going to use.
Can you explain why you think the claim is incorrect. I would think it at least plausible. A huge portion of the languages in common use are all over 20 years from introduction. So Go is certain to be in the top for language introduced after 2002. Or at least I would think.
http://www.calgaryfieros.com/OSGdocs/ECM-hacking.html

The GM engineers used a similar approach:

> The ECM hardware generates a periodic interrupt at 160 Hz. (Where have we seen that number before?) The entire ECM program operates off of this one interrupt. Except for some initialization code, there is no non-interrupt level code. In fact, the interrupt service routine never returns, it simply cleans the return address off the stack and waits for the next interrupt. There are no other interrupts in the ECM. This means that fully autonomous hardware generates all the high speed signals like the fuel injector and ignition pulses.

> At each tick of the 160 Hz, various tasks are performed. Some are done every tick. Others only on just odd or just even ticks. There are also 16 tasks, one of which is performed each tick. Every tenth of a second, all 16 tasks will have been completed. In general, this means that the ECM cannot adjust engine performance faster than 10 times a second. Perhaps this explains the engine surging at low rpm that many list members have complained about.

Does it feel worth it to go through it at least once though? I'm a junior engineer and I remember studying really hard for this one "hiring platform" (once you're in they find you contracts, sorta. One of the few non-scammy ones out there). The interview was pretty intense but I got a TON of good study material and really in-depth feedback

I guess a key difference though is that it's not very "data structures and algorithms"-y and much more "optimizing React performance"-y

I ended up actually passing but, being the only junior there, no company was interested in a contract with me. However, I don't really consider it a waste of time because I really learned a lot from that interview and I think it played into how I interviewed later

At the current company I work for they're really surprised at certain skills I have. Skills that I can trace back to having to study for that one interview

The original site made by lukegb inspired me because of the down-to-earth simplicity. Scaling vertically is often so much easier and better in so many dimensions than creating a complex distributed computing setup.

This is why I recreated the site when it went down quite a while ago.

The recent article "Use One Big Server"[0] inspired me to (re)submit this website to HN because it addresses the same topic. I like this new article so much because in this day and age of the cloud, people tend to forget how insanely fast and powerful modern servers have become.

And if you don't have budget for new equiment, the second-hand stuff from a few years back is stil beyond amazing and the prices are very reasonable compared to cloud cost. Sure, running bare metal co-located somewhere has it's own cost, but it's not that of a big deal and many issues can be dealt with using 'remote hands' services.

To be fair, the article admits that in the end it's really about your organisation's specific circumstances and thus your requirements. Physical servers and/or vertical scaling may not (always) be the right answer. That said, do yourself a favour, and do take this option seriously and at least consider it. You can even do an experiment: buy some second-hand gear just to gain some experience with hardware if you don't have it already and do a trial in a co-location.

BLARG. I knew that but I second guessed myself into getting it wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
That's another way of doing what we just asked you not to do. Not cool.

You can call moderation 'censorship' if you like - people use that word based on how they feel - but turning what was already a flamewar about other social issues into a generic religious flamewar is obviously against the HN guidelines and therefore obviously off topic here. That's the kind of thing we ban accounts for, and trying to start the same thing up again under a different guise is not ok.

Right, so our goal was to allow configuring the bundle with app icons etc and importantly custom URL schemes and file types [1]. And then macOS- [2] and Windows- [3] specific launchers capture the "open file" and "open url" events and trigger the Elixir side of things. Another reason for native launchers is if for any reason we couldn't start the Elixir side, we want to let the user know that something went wrong and point to logs. (We have that on Mac and will have on Windows very soon.)
