Ask HN: How to store large amounts of data on paper with QR code like tech?
An old neighbour wants to settle his affairs - create a will, detail his investments, divide his assets among the kids etc. He asked me if it was possible to create a digital copy of all the documents (will, bank, title deed, investments, online account details etc.) and store it with some QR code like technology so that he can print all of it on a single sheet of paper and hand it to his kids. I remember reading there was some other tech (open source) that could store more data then QR, but I can't seem to recall or find it online. Any suggestions? (Let's not diverge on how there are alternate better solutions like archival disks etc).
The only thing I consider is whether it is needed for my current project.

No, demand will not translate to supply. The first priority of producers is not to satisfy demand, but to retain and gain power. On the demand side, what people really need doesn't translate perfectly to market demand. The imperfections of these sides won't create a system that satisfies the participants. What I'm trying to get at is the phenomenon of market failure. From the supply side, history saw countless examples when this happened; think of any cartel and monopoly.
Byobu is great.
Your question is interesting to me. As a software architect, I study various tech stacks and programming languages. I concentrate mostly on open source and microservice architectures. I usually start with implementing the same feature identical rudimentary news feed microservice. Over time you start to see the similarities and differences between the various implementations. I blog about this over at https://glennengstrand.info and the source code can be found in https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed

You are looking for a decision on what programming language and tech stack to learn next based on career mobility. Here are some questions to consider.

What kind of company are you most interested in working for? Think about the size of the company. Is it in a growth market or is profitability more important? Is it a technology company? Does the CEO view technology as a profit center or a cost center? Do they have a CTO? If they do, then who does the CTO report to, the CEO, the CIO, or the COO?

What kinds of programming languages and tech stacks are on the career pages for the kinds of companies that you are most interested in? Different kinds of companies tend to cluster around different tech stacks. There are other factors to filter for such as how deeply do they embrace remote work or commute distance to where you currently live or are willing to move to.

These are lagging indicators. They are going to be more accurate than leading indicators but that also might indicate that whatever you learn next based on these factors might have a shorter shelf life.

Finally, you should ask yourself what about your current programming language do you like? Try to pick something that you would also like. The Go programming language was originally invented as a better C and is enjoying some marketability right now. Maybe that would be something to look at.

Are you seriously comparing a $5k car to a brand new, high quality cargo bicycle?

The equivalent cargo bike to a $5k car is below $500 and kids bicycles are below $100.

Edit: As for why I calculated like that? It is quite normal for a car to cost $5k per year. You have insurance, maintenance, repairs, taxes, financing, depreciation and fuel to pay for.

If you _only_ spend $5k on a car you're either going to skimp on a lot of those costs or pay it in maintenance, repair, and fuel... or you should compare it to the same tier of bicycles. Used bicycles you fix up yourself.

I like trains. I really really like trains. I used to live in Japan so I know what life is like when it's organized around trains and it's awesome. I hate the sprawled-out American suburbs where everything is so far apart that walking, or even biking in some places, is just not practical.

That said, I just can't see America reorganizing already built-up areas around trains, if only because it would require the government to purchase too much land just to lay the tracks.

I absolutely think that all new development should be done in a transportation-first level of density. But the existing burbs are a lost cause. And so we end up with electric cars.
This comment is written from the perspective of cars and transit as they exist today in much of America, and the connotations associated with them. There are places you could be living where public transit is more convenient than a car. You don't have to plan your trips because the train is frequent enough that you just show up whenever you want. And you aren't limited to just one place because there's a network of them and you simply transfer to the line you need. It's not entirely the case that you can go "anywhere" with a car. You can go anywhere where a road has been built and parking is provided. But if the car is limited to built infrastructure, by that measure the train also goes anywhere.

Places like Tokyo prove there was an alternative path, and places like New York prove that it's not inherently impossible in America. So that brings us back where we started. Why did people vote / spend one way and not the other?
For me speed issue is totally solved by Vite. Moved whole project to it including old legacy scripts.
It depends on your use case. BTRFS still has deficiencies in how it does quotas (significantly slows down fs if you enable quotas). BTRFS raid 5 has a write hole like traditional raid 5. And, there is a problem that sometimes occurs with individual extents when you use dedup. One of the dedup tools predicts that the issue will occur and will skip dedupe on such extents.

There were RFCs on proposals to address both the write hole and quota issues on LWN this year, with the write hole fix already having draft patches see "raid tree".

BTRFS is fine if you are not doing things that can hit those edges.

That's okay, many of them aren't tech companies either. I didn't scroll past C, and I already seen a transport company, a car rental company and a fitness subscription.

Just because a company uses computers in some form, doesn't make them a tech company. I know many retailers who are just that: retailers, who use pretty sophisticated software and employ a ton of developers, but they aren't tech companies and would never claim to be one.

I don't know if this is off topic, but I cannot describe the amount that I miss the joy of `python -m venv` in other dynamic languages like ruby. I'm sure there are 100 different tools on github that claim to fix it, but "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." makes me feel safe in trying out new conflicting libraries in a disposable environment
We’re building that paradigm right now, in the math community.

Homotopy type theory tells us that semantic information from a symbolic logic can also be represented by the topology of diagrams. But this is a two way relationship: the topological structure of diagrams also corresponds to some synthetic type theory.

The conjecture is that the topology of, eg, word2vec point clouds will correspond to some synthetic type theory describing the data — and this is bolstered by recent advancements in ML: Facebook translating by aligning embedding geometries, data covering models, etc.

I’m personally working on the problem of translating types into diagrams stored as matrices, in the hope that building one direction will give insights into the other. (Again, because equivalence relationships are symmetric.)
I'll explain why there's a EULA and write another comment for the rest

At the point that it was clear we're going to have a usable compiler I asked my entire team what license we should release this under. Absolutely everyone had a problem with each and every open source license. The more we talk the more apparent that none of us wanted to wake up one day to find out a trillion dollar (possibly cloud related) company took our code and want to compete with us. We don't want embrace, extend, and extinguish to happen to this project if we could help it. So we settled on a EULA (which very likely will change at 1.0) that says you can learn for free which lets face it, is the only thing people would want to do in its present state
Some of the trains in the photograph use up to ~17MWs, to get 129MWh of batteries installed on the ground in the worlds largest battery array at the time, cost $90 million dollars and while a train could certainly pull it, it's a non-trivial addition. That battery array couldn't move the train for even a fraction of some journeys required by train engines, so I think it's a non-starter economically for these cross-country journeys.

Yeah, you can think of it as condensing information.

For example: in French terms, you’d have to explicitly say “julienne the scallions across and dump them in an ice bath”.

For sushi, that’s an explicit technique. The cut, length, trim, and preparation can be conveyed in one word.

So lots of terms but no ambiguity.

Edit: “western” techniques do this too. Braising vs blenching X provides a lot of context that isn’t explicitly stated.

When it comes to mandatory dynamic linking, it's always a Beautiful Day for an auto-da-fé: death is too good for mandatory `glibc` and `libstdc++`.

As for a system devoid of it, I have grand plans, but for now: people do it with Docker every day! That's what Docker is. It's not broadly technically feasible right now to get a low-friction static link on a mainstream distro with mainstream libraries, but life, erm, technology Finds a Way. For now that's Docker, but the modest 
 enthusiasm around it shows that people want a way out pretty fucking bad and there will be better options soon.

It isn't a perfect system. The bank guarantees they will pay for any charges that the card digitally signed, and the bank will take any losses.

Most banks typically authorize the card to make ~$150 of payments or so offline. Anything bigger, or for risky customers or those with a low balance, it needs to be an online transaction.

The benefit of offline transactions is they can be done in under half a second, compared to the 5-10 seconds online transactions take. For things like opening the barrier in a car park, 10 seconds is too long.
I think it’s really unfair to Deno as thats existed for many years and gets ignored meanwhile a hobby project is being touted as “the node replacement”.
The short answer is - there is no good answer. The best thing that worked for me was to just pick a popular stack that can help me achieve specific some goal. And, possibly one with wide adoption and a thriving community and ecosystem, especially if you are looking for career prospects.

Spend a little bit of time with a couple of stacks to understand what you feel comfortable with.

When I was looking to transition from legacy technologies (think mainframes) while working at an established financial company, I had an itch to build a specific product on the side. To be able to build it, I had the option to choose any modern stack at that time (around 2012), and I chose the Java-Spring-Jquery. I could have chosen any other similar stack for my purpose (PHP, C#, etc on the backend and plain JS or any other library on the front end) that were widely used and had big ecosystems. I tried to build some basic functional products with both Java and PHP based stacks, and decided to go with the Java-Spring stack. These days there are even more options, so it boils down to trying a few and settling on one that excites you.
An app to help keep track of different project ideas.
https://apps.apple.com/hr/app/ideago/id1638985339

I have trouble with deciding which ideas to pursue. I always get a couple of weird ideas per month so I get easily distracted on what to build. So I decided to create a simple todo app, which will help me:

1 - rate my ideas (10 questions on a scale from 1 to 10, for self-grading)
2 - answer the important questions first (Revenue, Differentiation and Speed)
3 - keep all of the ideas in one place

Hilariously, a basic todo app for keeping track of ideas doesn't really have a good grade, but I still needed to build it.
But if the tools were all statically linked, couldn't you ship a zip with the binaries needed for building?
Yes, the market surely exists. But I can't build a bootstrapped business around competing with FREE. Steam has other ways to monetize user engagement, but I would have needed to charge users for the service.
It's hard to say for someone I've never met.

My dad knew he hadn't much time so it probably helped. If your mother has a unique story (war, achievement, migration...) maybe she'll be inclined to tell it. Also, it's easier to talk about others, so you could ask her about her parents. Then you could switch to her.

I hope it helps.
This has been a source of some anxiety for me. C# is such a comfortable place to be in... but I do occasionally feel like I'm missing out by not going out of my comfort zone, towards low-level systems programming. (It is arguable whether the language "more powerful" than Blub is typically lower level or higher level.)

These days I worry about it less, primarily because C# let's you "go lower" when needed, and it feels like the concepts translate well enough. (But I still do plan on investing some time in both C and Rust... soon.)
Also: text pages are shared in the typical case. It was largely a spurious argument to begin with. If it didn't fuck over `musl` et. al. and `libstdc++` it would have been relegated to corner cases years ago.
What I find confusing about it is that it does not match the execution order.

I didn't build it, but there's ViGEm for creating virtual Xbox 360 controllers: https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmClient

So each client polls the local controller using the DX APIs, streams the state to the server and then the server creates virtual gamepads to send the input to the game.
There's a few reasons as I understand it, the power output can be on the same order as a nuclear fission plant. So a single plant taking relatively little real estate can output gigawatts of power to the grid. The fuel is abundant to the point of being practically unlimited. The fuel also needs little in the way of refinement and is not hazardous. A fusion core is naturally fail safe since energy and fuel need to be constantly applied, an accident might destroy a core or plant but not irradiate the surrounding countryside.

Man told to pay 2p debt to DWP
In one sense, I completely agree with your central point: Bun isn't yet stable enough or mature enough for production, "Node drop in" usage.

But on the other hand, when I look at Bun I think it has heaps more going for it than Deno. The fundamental value prop of offering better performance (both runtime and developer experience) is huge, and something that would get me to want to use it. Contrarily, while I see a number of improvements in Deno, the vast majority of them seem to be "niceties" that solve some initial "setup" issues that can be painful in Node - but since I already have taken care of a lot of those Node issues in my own projects, there is not a ton that I see compelling in Deno.

Point being, if I were a betting man, I'd easily put all my chips on Bun vs. Deno. It's a "plan where the puck is headed" vs. a "plan where the puck is now" approach, and from that perspective I see a lot more value in Bun.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. That presentation of data is so offensive to me, it nearly threw me off from reading the article. There are a dozen ways to present that data better. The way the authors chose is so unreadable that it would even be significantly improved as a text table.
