Correct, an object of this size is almost certain to not burn up completely (and indeed it did not).

The same is true for other countries’ rockets, which is why those countries nudge them into the atmosphere over the ocean. China’s refusal to do this standard, low-tech mitigation is the reason for the outrage.

Hey HackerNews, I'm the creator of Sol.

Here are some answers to your questions:

- Why Sol?

I started using Raycast, and it's nice, but found it cumbersome, too many features tackled on top of each other with even more cumbersome navigation. I'm a ruthless simplifier and I wanted a similar yet I-don't-want-to-configure-you tool. I also believe that VC money backed tools face the though reality of unrealistic ROI at some point, so I fully expect other tools to squeeze money out of you at some point. I develop Sol on my free time building the tool that I like, and it will not have any registration step or run analytics on you on any shape or form.

- Where are the docs? it is not launching?

You seem to have tried the app at the unfortunate time where I did some breaking changes and fixing some bugs (try option + space it should launch). Regarding docs there is none, and there will be none, if I need to explain how to use the app I have already failed.

- Why is it called Sun and has a black hole logo?

A black hole is a collapsed sun, do be a stickler. Have fun and enjoy.

- Memory use

Not more than chrome! BOOH YA!

Hope you like the app and feel free to submit PRs!
> from what I can tell still no-one is using it.

> There's a lot of confusion around it.

I've been using a wooden desk for decades and it's not showing any signs of degradation either, yet wood waste is not an environmental problem. Compostable plastics degrade very slowly compared to other compostable materials. Your normal garden compost heap probably doesn't break them down in a year. But they do decompose much faster than normal plastic, they don't stick around in the environment for millennia.

The point is that these things (string processing/hash tables) are typically done using custom/tuned code in C and so would be faster than the generic, and not particularly carefully tuned Julia implementations.

However, given this library seems to be about passing NumPy arrays to/from Julia, the application is almost certainly to expose numerical stuff from Julia to Python. Basically, the use case is similar to Numba, but it works by producing a C-extension from a Julia system image (if I understand correctly). The main advantage over something like Numba would be access to the Julia ecosystem.

Rust as a replacement for a bash script?

My bash scripts are often edited, I could not imagine using a compiled language where I would have to store the source as a separate file from the executable, then compile it each time.

I'd love to know your more specific use cases, if you don't mind. I'm always happy to learn something new. Could you share some Rust that most people would script in Bash as an example? What's your build and deploy (to ~/.local/bin I presume) strategy?
At the end of the day, what we need is interop, so Apple should be forced to either open the protocol, or adopt something that is already open. But either option is strictly better than the existing mess.
Epson actually has a line doing this, the Epson EcoTank series. They're excellent. The fact that Epson is playing both games clearly means that many consumers are not taking the long-term view here.
Apple has a version of Street View that I find even better than Google’s. Just seems not available for as many places.

I wish there was a VR mode where you can turn your view by rotating the phone.
>It's totally dishonest to try to imply the same security level of a bitcoin full node when it's actually a much weaker security model.

What precicely is weaker about it? If you think ethereum full nodes have weaker security, what exactly is missing? Full nodes have 100% of the current state, 100% of the the blocks, and 100% of the transactions, and you serve those blocks and transactions to the rest of the network just as easily as an archive node. And if independent verification of the history of a particular account is needed, it can be done, without any dependency on any other archive nodes.

> I know you're not the only person doing this, but nothing is stopping you from using more honest terminology.

The corporates bank on the idea that if they tell you that you're an oppressor too for using drinking straws, you'll see them as the good guys who can be trusted to keep the world safe (from you, and from the 8 billion poors just like you) and therefore not, say, overthrow them using force.

You bought a latte last February? Well, then, you're also a buyer of human labor. You're a capitalist, too. The only difference between you and Elon Musk is that he's smarter. If capitalism is a problem, then you're part of the problem, because you do after all buy things. If you really believed in your anti-capitalist rhetoric, you'd grow the beans hydroponically in your basement (capabilities that, if you were serious, you would surely possess even if you weren't born into the tiny minority who actually benefit from the widespread and rigid enforcement of asymmetric state services called "property rights").

Meanwhile, the world is on track to be J. G. Ballard's Drowned World by the end of the century due to the persistence of a moribund socioeconomic system with no exit strategy or real means of improvement.
But TypeScript doesn’t have ADTs which you stated was a hard requirement. It has some other features that can achieve similar things though, so maybe that’s good enough?

> The new programmable resistors are similar to memristors, or memory resistors. Both kinds of devices are essentially electric switches that can remember which state they were toggled to after their power is turned off.

I wrote simple ELF and PE/COFF writers too, but independently of that, zero terminators are what lets you find strings in a binary. And what allows the "strings" program to function. It simply couldn't work with without those terminators.

Similarly, the text we're exchanging consists of words and sentences that are terminated using not zero bytes, but other terminators. I'm very happy that they're not length delineated.

If I were to start building Reddit from scratch without knowing if it's going to be successful or not, I'd rather iterate quick on features rather trying to spend time scaling something that will most likely fail before reaching that kind of scale.

>True HA is very difficult. Even just automatic failover takes a lot of manual sysadmin effort

Nearly all Postgres cloud providers such as RDS, CloudSQL, Upcloud, provide multi-region nodes and automatic failover.

Also, true HA databases are very expensive and have their own drawbacks. Not really designed for a Reddit-style startup.

>You can't autoscale, and while scaling is a nice problem to have, having to not just fundamentally rearchitect all your code when you need to shard, but also probably migrate all your data, is probably the worst version of it.

Hence why I said "as far as I can". I can keep upgrading the instance, creating material views, caching responses, etc.

Lastly, the most important reason is because I know Postgres and I can get started today. I don't want to learn a highly scalable, new type of database that I might need 5 years down the road.
Rebranded SYCL, if it was rebranded OpenCL, it wouldn't even be worth a 2nd look.
Not a terrible quantity in one year, but the stuff essentially never disappears, so you have to sum over all years starting from a couple of decades back to the hypothetical future date where we finally manage to stop polluting (or killed all marine life). That adds up to a lot of garbage.
The question was philosophical not legal. You missed the point.
Title says “C extension” which is accurate, not “extension written in C”. You can write C extensions for CPython in non-C languages with a bridge, e.g. PyO3 for Rust, but the extension ultimately has to use the C API and ABI.
Doesn't seem to matter whether I spent the hundred dollar bill with the specific serial number provided by an OFAC-sanctioned individual, or if I kept that serial number in my wallet and spent a different piece of paper, since currency is fungible.

By analogy, there's no practical difference between a balance in an Ethereum address getting dusted with tainted funds, or a Bitcoin address with a tainted UTXO that I don't touch.
The big difference between a toaster and your phone is that the phone gets updates. Which, aside from fixing things, also do stuff like change UI. On Android, when Google comes up with some new inane idea for the launcher, I can at least install a different one. On iOS, when Apple does the same, I don't really have a choice other than to go along with it.
Ask HN: Is there a description of the file layout HN uses to store data?
As far as I know, HN uses no DB and just writes all data to plain text files.

Does this still hold true?

Is there a description of the layout somewhere? I wonder if it is just one file per comment and the name is the id. And what the internal structure of those files is.

I think it would be a very interesting example of a successful Web2 style project that writes to files instead of using a DB.

P.S. Yes, I understand that I'm doing exactly the same thing, but I felt this should be said.
How I use Obsidian at work
Not sure how my comment is “exactly backwards” — it’s logically consistent with your (new) comment. My point was that, relative to you, ye makes a case distinction (nominative), and that relative to you, thou makes a number distinction (glossing over formal/informal).

We deprecated ye and thou, but it’s the latter that “requires” y’all, because only thou (relative to us still having you) distinguishes the number of people.

Edit: put another way, “thou/thee is the one with number” meant that reintroducing them would create a number distinction.
Lack of progress is a good reason to backtrack up the search tree. Which is exactly what we are seeing with alzheimer’s research. Amyloid hypothesis isn’t working, so backtrack. It’s a logical error to extend that to “give up”

. The IA does not understand that when you say that you do not like a music, that also mean stop to play that shit and find me something better. It will continue to haras you with the same horrible stuff.
. The French magic keyboard is nice for writing that words but no able to make a | in their own terminal.
. The iPhone and the watch are made to unlock while driving but no you have to get your sunglass out because it is not able to do it ... or you have to stop to drive and compose the code -_-'
. There is no Apple true source code editor there is VSCode
. There is certainly more things to say ...
It is happening: https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas
Off-topic, but does anyone know of an app to “walk” Street View (Google or Apple version) in VR/AR mode? Which is to say, where you control your view by rotating the device (so you get a real feel for direction). And perhaps go forwards/backwards by tilting the screen or something?

I think that would be great to familiarize yourself with a place you’ve never been to. More intuitive and less disorienting than tapping around on the screen.
I worked at a startup (now fairly popular in the US) where we had tables for each thing (users, companies, etc) and a “relationship” table that described each relationship between things. There were no foreign keys, so making changes were pretty cheap. It was actually pretty ingenious (the two guys who came up with the schema went on to get paid to work on k8s).

It was super handy to simply query that table to debug things, since by merely looking for a user, you’d discover everything. If Mongo was more mature and scalable back then (2012ish), I wonder if we would have used it.
I used Google Talk actively at the time. Don't recall any spam.
You can get a managed Postgres instance for $15/month these days. Likely cheaper, more secure, faster, better than an SQLite db hosted manually on a VM.

>Because it requires no setup and has been used to scale typcial Web2 applications to millions in revenue on a single cheap VM.

Plenty of setup. How would you secure your VM? SSL configuration? SSL expiration management? Security? How would you scale your VM to millions without downtime? Backups? Restoring backups?

All these problems are solved with managed database hosting.

> On this planet, we just have the fastest, most complex and efficient processor going at this time.

Not neccesarily. We haven't really figured out how to benchmark other species' brains properly and I wouldn't be surprised if something like individual bottle-nosed dolphins or elephants couldn't rival at least some individual humans.
Could be! Could very well be. I personally prefer android devices because there's more variety.

As for my controversial take, I'm just trying to limit the abuse of our collective goodwill by marketers, generally. They take advantage of our good nature as we assume the best possible interpretation of their actions/words, or pretend as if the generosity of FOSS devs deserve the same criticism as a trillion dollar company just because the end results look the same on our phone. People would see it differently if they stood everyone at Google beside everyone at OSMAnd for example. Google has an astonishing 135,000 (or more) employees. OSMAnd has 20 if you include major contributors.

For visual reference, here is what 113000 people looks like: https://inteng-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/images/import/2017/0...
Google has 20-30 thousand more than that.

20 people don't fill up a bus.

Most Americans have few or zero regular international contacts. The US is geographically huge and there are only two other nations within relatively reach.

Personally I have one person in my contacts who's not in the US. This is someone I communicate with about twice a year, and we do indeed use WhatsApp for that.
Our idea was to lay out a positive narrative
This is so much of an oversimplification as to be more wrong than right.
For non-North American recipients from a North American phone number, you have to prefix with the country code[0]. So unnecessary if you're in the US and want to call Canada or Jamaica or wherever. But say you want to call someone with a UK phone number, you just send the SMS to +44-<their phone number>.

I used Google Talk pretty much since the day it was released, and I don't recall any "endless flood of spam".
Occam's razor is a rough heuristic, not a law of nature. Sometimes, the more complex explanation turns out to be the correct one.

Politics tends to be complex, and while I know next to nothing about South-African politics I have no reason to believe it's any different there. You can't just apply Occam's razor to the first simple explanation that springs to mind.
> They should implement the version (and extensions) that gives them interoperability with the most users

They already have that, with SMS. Perhaps you only exchange messages with people in rich countries so don’t notice what is most commonly implemented by carriers?
Hammerspoon definitely is nice because of the fact that you are writing code so it’s very nice to work with.

However, I feel like Keyboard Maestro is capable of much more powerful automation of interactions with GUI apps. Steps like Pause until image appears on screen, click on found image, etc… are super handy. The macro editor however leaves a lot to be desired when compared to writing scripts as code.
would python being 3x faster make a difference? you'd still have so call out to an actually fast language when you want your code to be fast.
JVM is a masterpiece.
Java improved, but legacy is there.
I now prefer and use whenever possible Kotlin, I can do more writing less code and still retaining JVM performance.
It's a weird decision.

Unreal Engine is redefining game engines into something capable of creating both movies and games, and pushing the state of the art to somewhere amazing.

Whilst..... Unity is laying off people and leaning into low quality advertising.

It's weird also that the big players like Microsoft didn't swing in to buy Unity and do the same thing that Unreal is doing.

It's like the future of high end media is being created in this space and Unity is tossing away their second place position entirely.
