"political spectrum" is a term that frames viewpoints on a line from "good" to "bad", when actually there are so many political issues that the number of dimensions makes it hard to call it a spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves are an actual spectrum, if you only look at the frequency.
Show HN: A modern, high-performance, real-time OLAP database
It looks awesome about this OLAP database

Apache Doris is an easy-to-use, high-performance and real-time analytical database based on MPP architecture, known for its extreme speed and ease of use. It only requires a sub-second response time to return query results under massive data and can support not only high-concurrent point query scenarios but also high-throughput complex analysis scenarios.
>Here, one always buys water in in 0.5 litre, 0.75 litres or 1 litre (=0.5,0.75 and 1 kilo), so it's even more relatable than your hand of berries

Metric units can certainly be adapted to be fractionally relatable, though their origins are certainly not, as I mentioned:

>we can still more or less relate these metric units to things in our day-to-day life for better conceptualization, but because they're arbitrary, they don't map 1:1, whereas imperial and ancient units were naturally emergent rather than arbitrary and they mapped one to one per their definitions.

The grandparent comment mentioned how nonsensical or absurd "hogshead" is as a unit of measurement, and the essence of the response was that "hogshead" is actually rather sensical, originating from something very relatable and natural.
Depends on the seniority imo. If you don't make code quality a thing with early in their career devs, you might open up a door to some bad habits to take hold.
Careful with that. Server hardware is designed in a way that assumes "cooling is free because i live in a chassis with constant high airflow in a temperature controlled room".

Consumer-class hardware is more often built with the assumption that it's going to get thrown in an all-glass case starved of airflow, so they put heatsinks everywhere and expect specific air pathways in a standard atx case.

You're probably fine to go either way really, but the hardware is probably going to have a lower lifetime by going for slower airflow.
but RFCs are written using "git".

https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-...

sure, maybe IETF uses their homegrown version, but - for example - TC39 uses GitHub https://github.com/tc39/ (here are the proposals for JS https://github.com/tc39/proposals ), whatWG also uses GH https://github.com/whatwg/html
It all makes a lot more sense if you remember that this is Phoronix we're talking about. This is the rest of today's posts:

* Radeon ROCm 5.2.3 Released (...)
* Mesa 22.2-rc3 Released (...)
* [bootloader project] Updated With Improved SMBIOS Support
* GCC 12.2 Compiler Released With 70+ Bug Fixes

They're a Linux-centric outlet through and through, and the Phoronix Test Suite (the benchmark they're running) is Linux-based. Of course they're running the benchmarks on Linux, that's whole point!

As for the hardware, the Air is just the entry level model, and AFAICT the X13 they're using is roughly the same price as the Air. About as fair a comparison as you could make it. They also specifically call out the power thing:

> Due to the Apple M2 currently lacking any power/temperature sensor support under Linux, this is simply looking at the raw performance of the M2 and Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U with not being able to accurately compare the M2 power efficiency / performance-per-Watt at this time.

It's important to look at the context: Lenovo laptops have been a staple in the Linux world for a long time, and people in the Linux world are genuinely excited about the Apple Silicon laptops, hell even Linus is running Asahi. For the target audience, this comparison is exactly the benchmark they want.
> I recently read that Asahi now has pretty much a finished driver for the M1 GPU

Where have you read that? According to Asahi Lina's tweet from a few days ago, they are just starting with it:

Yeah I think people think remarkably short term about the earth. If we are really assholes about climate change and acidify the shit out of the oceans and cause a mass extinction event, in 1000, years the ocean will just be back to life teeming with whatever life is best suited to survive in those conditions.
Not everyone is working at whichever shop offers the highest salary. There are many smart people who are willing to take a pay cut to work on interesting problems. There are some smart people who are already financially secure so that they could afford a pay cut.
That's one of the functions of the Federal Register. It applies the diffs so to speak to produce the actual code (by code here I mean law code). But yes in theory you can challenge that in court by showing they applied the changes incorrectly or something.

And FWIW every once in a great while the government does tend to reset the baseline, declaring a specific version of the merged code as the single truth. So even if there are errors or whatever from previous applications of various bills it doesn't matter and courts can't examine that. This prevents every bit of law from potentially being subject to reconstruction from the first congress forward. I believe the current base revision is from 1986.
OP is also just wrong. Apple is sharing data from all their properties like apple news. This is pretty similar to google and Facebook tracking you across the web. I just don’t see how it’s better for my privacy if apple sees everything I read on their app and targets advertising to me based off that, rather than google seeing I visited a news site
I had a similar problem with the Tecurs KB510 I got at work. The only way I found to type F1-F12 keys on Linux was to set up a hack with kbct [0] and the Super key... until I tried the configuration described in the gist you linked. Thanks a lot for that !

I have a pretty interesting/weird idea of making apps from docs (as in you write a doc to create an app). Would you be interested? I have my email listed on my HN profile. Would love to discuss this idea with someone.
Yup. Facebook ads were evil. And now that wiener-dog ramp guy can't spend pennies to buy millions of impressions on cross-app-accessed data, he has to be smarter and work harder to get his ad dollars in the right place.

This remains a Facebook privacy story.
So, what happens to loans owned by mortgage lenders when they go broke?
Yeah exactly, especially when coming to diseases, locality has more to do with propagation than the type pf hole you are shitting
How would this compare with 42 server slots running 100Gbps DRBD in RAID 0? If I recall, it can pre-shard the data based on a round-robin balancer.

So, every major unethical, immoral or even outright treasonous act in the past decade dwindles down to a few scapegoats.

The engineer from the car company fudging its pollution data, Jefferey Epstein, Child trafficking rings of the high and mighty, stock market frauds, and the list goes on.

This is true across the world to a degree.

All this technology, laws, systems, institutions, people, moral education, increased awareness and everything modern has not moved the society a lot in any positive direction. Just wobbling around a point, swinging temporarily around the corrupt core.
Google's now playing feature is somehow always offline (to relieve privacy concerns) and is somehow still incredible at recognizing even obscure songs. Really impressive.

I also love that it just shows up on my lock screen.
I made a RL friend here from HN - he just emailed me saying he was in the same region, and we clicked on stuff.

I also work at a YC company these days. HN is mentioned a lot at work. My username is really obvious to those who work with me. I try not to comment on HN threads trending at work, because my HN comment history is cringe.

On the twist side, most other friends don't know about HN. This is also the group of friends who ask "is Amazon a good place to work for tech?" The word hacker does put people off.
AI content writing tools are now staggeringly good at producing a huge volume of pointless text, for incrementally $0.00 per word - previously the nonzero cost per word of hiring the lowest-cost writer available, was at least a little bit of drag on the whole Internet filling with pointless content.

Google has a giant hard problem to solve here. I hope they are successful.

If they aren't successful, it could be a door opening for someone else to take a stab at search.
So... the driver and device level seems happy here, but is anyone else creeped out by "asynchronous sendfile()"? I mean, how do you even specify that? You have a giant file you want dumped down the pipe, so you call it, and... just walk away? How do you report errors? What happens to all the data buffered if the other side resets the connection? What happens if the connection just stalls?

In synchronous IO paradigms, this is all managed by the application with whatever logic the app author wants to implement. You can report the errors, ping monitoring, whatever.

But with this async thing, what's the API for that? Do you have to write kernel code that lives above the driver to implement devops logic? How would one even document that?

+1 for the technical wizardry, but seems like it's going to be a long road from here to an "OS" feature that can be documented.
> Using linux is likely far from ideal,

This is Phoronix. Using Linux is the whole point, that's their audience.
As somebody working in cancer treatment; That lines up with my personal experiences, smokers are not really that overrepresented among our lung cancer patients.

They do exist, but the way this topic is usually talked about in public, and what numbers are often presented, one would have to assume the overwhelming number of lung cancer patients are smokers, but they ain't, at best they make up half, not even because most people with lung cancer stop smoking.

What is common is that pretty much everybody tried smoking at some point in their live or another, particularly when younger. That's what these "Most lung cancer patients smokers/used to smoke!" headlines are regularly based on.

But the number of people that are strict "never smokers", who never even touched a cigarette once in their live, is actually quite low. Yet those are regularly used as a comparison group.

The equivalent for alcohol would be counting every liver cancer as the result of alcohol on the basis of a patient having consumed alcohol, regardless how much or how often, before.
The amount of transcoding needed to get a conference call up hurts my brain. If 20 people are talking on Skype, the server needs to receive those 20 streams, decode them, mix the audio together, recode the streams, and then broadcast it back out to all 20 people.

I'm not a telecommunications guy, but I had some professors back in college explain how difficult and fundamental the research of "ma-bell" was from the 60s through 80s. I'm talking Erlang, C++, CLOS circuits, etc. etc. The innovations from Bell Labs are nearly endless.

Telephone communications is one of the biggest sources of fundamental comp. sci research over the 1950s through 2000s.

He is almost certainly way above a pretty good engineer.

Nobody can quantify 'good-enough code' but everyone can quantify meeting a deadline.

How much engineering is anyone really doing anyhow - or are we calling using React to build yet another set of forms users fill out with some error handling engineering nowadays? :)
I did implement a math parser a couple of years that did JIT wasm code generation. It operated on 1d array, providing kind of numpy syntax. It achieved a very decent performance. It was quite some fun.

If Apple is not doing surveillance capitalism, then their advertising revenue is better compared to TV/Radio than to Facebook. Nobody loves advertising, but society seems fine with TV and Radio being paid for by non-surveillance ads.

The problem has been the micro-targeting / retargeting at the heart of Facebook and Google's surveillance capitalism model. That model enables a lot of direct to consumer small business, but it also turbocharges polarization, misinformation, and radicalization (as does the algorithmic feed). That's what consumers are increasingly looking to opt-out of, and Apple is catering to that interest.
I wonder if at some point people will start raise the possibility of excluding/restricting access of obese people to socialized/subsidized healthcare unless they commit to loosing weight?

This seems arrogant. Your two previous posts offer no detail, basically just “Who’s Raising?” as if everyone is going to beat a path to your door. Your medium post talks about raising $1.5M, which is fundamentally not impressive at all, and I don’t mean that pejoratively or dismissively. The company where I was employee #5 and helped build from Day 1 recently raised 100x that much and I wouldn’t in my wildest dreams talk about that unprompted or think anyone cares what I think about fundraising in the least.

Your conclusion is essentially sour grapes. “People aren’t taking my money so there must be a lot of money because no one is interested,” which ignores other reasons they’re not interested. The reason I’m not interested: Taking an honest read of your linked posts and this one I see no compelling reason to even DM you should I be fundraising because you don’t seem to bring anything compelling or useful to the table except a small check.

Hope this doesn’t come across badly, just trying to be candid. You come across as super arrogant to me despite having essentially no successes, or at least you’re so hand-wavey and abstract that they don’t come across. At this seeming early stage of your “VC Journey” or whatever it’s likely that the shoe is on the other foot and you should be selling yourself hard rather than the other way around.
So Netflix published a framework which seemingly isn't suitable for your use case, your managers forced you to use it, and your response is to blame...Netflix?
Aah! A book! But really, I tried to make my point very clear. It's not that there's no info out there. Sweeping something under the rug doesn't mean the dust stopped existing, just that it's not immediately apparent and most people won't notice it.

Ask a random person to list if they heard of King Leopold, the Congo genocide, etc. and see how many have heard the names before, let alone understand what's behind. Sure there's a Wiki page with details but the magic of rewriting history is not in deleting the truth but in making it uninteresting and obscure. And that allows people the assumption that nothing like this could have ever happened.
But JS bad!!!
Aren't you contradicting yourself?

If you're on 100M users you're probably scaling vertically. So adding 5x more hardware shouldn't be a problem.

But when you're at 500M all of a sudden it makes sense to optimize further since the capital saved will be the same percentage(ish) but the money is worth peoples time all of a sudden.

I know that we don't care particularly about power savings in the DCs I've worked in, because they're relatively small. While bigtech will do all kinds of shenanigans to save a couple watts here and there, because it's worth it across your hundreds of thousands of servers.
Sadly, that is not my experience with the app. I would equate the time my Shazam loads and is ready to listen as roughly the same amount of forever that it takes to launch the native camera app and being able to take a picture.
So there is an extreme dearth of blueberries I guess compared to other food goods? I mean, McDs isn’t taking over the entire supply of potatoes or chickens for example correct?
Cards require bank accounts, and bank accounts require home addresses. Not shelters, not PO boxes, not halfway houses. Home addresses. That takes out a large number of people who likely need banking services the most.
I too have always been blown away by Shazam and pondered how it could possible index so much content for fast lookups. A few years ago this article was super helpful in helping me understand and learn a lot. Fun read which required a lot of side googling for me

When I was a wee bairn, we traveled a lot. In those days, air travel was still a bit scruffy, so alternative modes were still very much en vogue.

I took transatlantic ships, a couple of times.

On one side the Xanadu implementations over the decades are a complete failure.
On the other side, imho some of the ideas will survive and one day make it into successful software projects. Good ideas aren't destroyed by poor excecution.
I think that essentially was the campaign no? "Stop paying attention to places that try to convince you that someone who hasn't even had water for a day just to look a little more chiseled for the shoot is normal and put the fake food in the trash."
I don’t understand the point of this thread. Apple never said that advertising is bad. They just said tracking users across web is bad. When I use FB app, FB can still use my activity in their app to show me relevant ads, which they do. Apple can do the same but their prompt gives users the ability to turn that personalization off as well. This is different from tracking and apple is giving a choice where FB and Google aren’t.

Does anyone understand why one FBI is helping a senator?
Naive question: Couldn't you manually test against the hardware/devices, confirm the code is passing, identify the salient behavior that is hardware-specific and needs to remain invariant under refactoring, and write unit tests for just that?

I realize that's not perfect -- not even close -- and I'm sure smarter people than me have considered that idea and rejected it. But, out of curiosity, I wonder if you know the reason why it wouldn't help at least add some marginal value?
I don't like the way the FBI was used to "infiltrate" the counter-culture of the 1960s and early 1970s. But that doesn't make me write off the FBI as the bad guys.

I do like the way the FBI is used to infiltrate extreme right wing groups of the present day. But that doesn't make me think that the FBI are the good guys.
No it doesn't. Does it strike anyone else as odd that someone would question a company promoting/congratulating software achievements that they own?
As far as I'm aware, JS was chosen long before Micropython or node existed.

Ask HN: Small solar generator that is also a double-conversion UPS?
I have given up asking on Amazon because nobody knows what I am talking about. I am looking for a small solar generator that powers devices using the inverter 100% of the time and never ever passes through power from the commercial AC charger. When the batteries and input power are unable to power the inverter, it turns off. When power is restored either from commercial AC power or the batteries or solar, the inverter turns back on. At no point is commercial AC power to ever touch my devices.

Use case: I want to replace my expensive vertiv liebert gxt4 double-conversion UPS with a Solar Generator for my network gear, having its own dedicated expansion batteries and dedicated solar panels. The gxt4 itself uses a bit of power and my understanding is that the newer solar generators are more efficient.

It seems none of the Solar Generator vendors cover this topic. The only other option I can see is to get one of the dedicated pure sinewave inverters, separate batteries and charge controller but I was hoping to keep the equipment sprawl in the network racks in my home to a minimum and have a portable device that could be used for other emergency purposes.

not only does a good portion of the world have high BMI and does nothing about it, we as a country have now gone so far as to say it's 'OK' to have a high BMI. I know in advance this comment will be misinterpreted, but it's genuinely sad that our advertisements, education, and social media all parrot the same message that it's okay to be overweight.
In America, the law states that you are not required to provide ID to police unless you are suspected of a crime or it's a traffic stop.

But that's just what the law states, and cops don't care about that. They'll harass you until you lash out in frustration so that they have an excuse to beat the shit out of you and throw you in a cell.

So yeah, theoretically, I don't need to carry my ID if I'm just walking to the store, but I kind of do anyways in case I run into a cop with a bad attitude.

> would be pretty meaningless to as a value to people in Dublin

Utter horseshite, that's like saying a Canadian along the border would be clueless as to CAD-USD conversion rates. The UK is our next door neighbour. It's common enough to buy goods up north, online from the UK, and to travel there. We can generally do a rough conversion in our heads; the same goes for USD nowadays due to the prevalence of online shopping (and the fact that its now at near parity with EUR helps).

> The Pound of today is pretty much a different currency to the 19th century

True of any currency. You may as well argue that any measurement in an inflation adjusted currency is nonsense if you're going to go down that route.

Given that the Sterling was in use then and now, I'd argue that the most meaningful way to calculate value would be to adjust the value for the inflation of Pounds Sterling. That can then be converted as appropriate to euros for convenience (as it seems to have been in the first paragraph of this article).
