Thank you. Side note: who thinks it's a great idea not to put any publication date on a paper? And is there a rule for HN to put at least the year in the title, especially if it's not clearly visible at the top of the linked paper. There oughta be.
They may point to the middle, but that's not a reference to half an object. ;)

The assumption is that the thing is its entirety, as you said.

Hypothetically, I imagine an array index reference, in human terms, would be communicated as "this thing starts here" or "this is the beginning of this thing."

Which isn't a concept or phrasing we have much occasion to use, other than for routes or long length-measured objects?

Yep. "Removing" distractions is a fools errand, because I am the Da Vinci of creating them. This is why I need structure.
We're a US (New York) based team that opened an SWE office in Istanbul this year. We haven't dealt with sponsorship in Turkiye yet. The workday overlap has worked out great; more than sufficient for standup and requirements collaboration. Rest of the work happens async. My wife is also Turkish. Happy to chat if you post a way to contact you.
Some of these things did suck - just for someone who is not the customer, so it didn't impact their ability to keep going.

Actually a more complicated message queue, because it's on you to implement all the queueing logic. Then back it by a potentially non-durable data store (its very tricky to get redis durable and ha) with no monitoring?

All of this to avoid spinning up an SQS queue?

This isn't relevant to the question, but Turkey's tourist visa rules say you're allowed to stay 90 days within a 180 day period, how did you go around that? Or have you basically lived 90 days in the for example EU and 90 days in Turkey?
Ah, I pictured a "Misery" type situation, thanx for the clarification.
Why hasn't a simple solution of allowing people to discharge these loans in bankruptcy been considered? E.g. retroactively for borrowers before a certain time? I still don't like it, but at least it helps people with $100k in loans who cannot get out instead of giving them a tiny insignificant boost, and doesn't give free money to people who don't really need it?
My argument showed why your argument that "capitalism would achieve this outcome if it were good" is not true in the general case without any specifics.

Your argument here suggests "politicians may not make good decisions or even purposefully make bad ones" which is true, but is completely irrelevant to what I said. Your original premise is still wrong. Now you're basically reduced to saying you personally don't like EVs. Which is fine.
And what exactly is being suppressed by cloudflare?? Cloudflare would just be refusing to help spread it and are totally within their right to do so..

If cloudflare stop provinding service they can move their hosting anywhere else or even self host in their own servers if no one want to host then.. They have literally dozens of hosting options other then cloudflare..

It is not like cloudflare is the only place around and they are required to use it..

Time spent designing a tool is time spent not using the tool to make art and honestly the types of brains that are good at designing art tools... often have very formulaic and structurally rigid ways of thinking about creating art (they tend to use tools for what they are intended for which almost no breakthrough in art has happened from). It is a good thing if artists can uses tools without having to understand the nitty gritty.

Graph theory and page rank are a good place to start.

https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2011/09/20/pagerank-backb...

Google's algorithm is indecipherably complex today but in the early days the way search engines more or less worked was they crawled the web and the way they decided to rank the pages was by how many other pages had a URL reference pointing to it.

You can apply this idea today in private (or I suppose public) search engines in the same way to interesting results.

For example a search engine for for scientific papers might use page rank to sort papers that are cited by the most other papers.

Or if you were going to make a search engine for open source projects you could create a page rank algorithm based on what projects had dependencies to other projects.

Part of why Google's algorithm today is more complex than this is that people try to game whatever algorithm search engines commonly use. You may remember back in the 90s and 2000s people would do stuff like put back links to other websites in the source to try to game page rank. Today that kind of behavior has expanded into a whole cottage industry (unfortunately).

What's interesting though is that for a lot of more limited data sets is you have less of that SEO type problem.

Whichever kind you're building good luck! Search engines usually wind up being petty cool (and profitable).

Some hands on experience with all of these, September 2022:

Render.com - we use this for production at Grilla. Great experience, great platform. I wish I could pay them money to have my builds go faster but everything I want out of the box in places where you would think to look for them first. Fantastic dev ux. Never said, fuck I wish I had this and couldn't find it.

Fly.io - still extremely rough around the edges and militant about things that most companies don't really care about. For example, you create your database, and you see the credentials once and only once. You didn't save them? Tough luck, delete your database and create a new one. Just a lot of sharp corners. Same with ENV vars, you can only set them not see them. Which is ridiculous. Hey my payment processor isn't working, the webhooks aren't coming in, let's debug check the webhook env var, what you can't see it? Ugh.... They are most likely working very hard on the fundamentals of the hosting platform, but they need a lot of work on the dev ux.

Railway.app - Sexy as fuck, will potentially tear me away from Render on my next endeavor. These guys are taking everything that's shitty about hosting apps and making it simple. One thing I did miss was being able to ssh into a running container to run an elixir console into the running process. But for everything else, they are right on the money and gaining quick.
Seems like it's ok to let societies draw different boundaries around what the government's "job" is.
"It's not literally illegal to say" is the argument for Cloudflare keeping Stormfront. Except they already compromised on that position so their free-speech extremist credentials already aren't that great.

The forum is specifically a platform for discussing and distributing the personal information of notorious public figures[0] in the interest of generating drama and lulz. They actively brag about having a kill count[1]. My personal opinion is that KF is actually engaging in illegal conduct and the only reason why they get away with it is because the US legal system has many blind spots.

If you need to throw too much money at it means the solution is not scalable/sustainable, that's the issue to solve now. Captchas are band-aids, moderation tends to elitist spam (ie. Wikipedia, Reddit, StackOverflow), filtering triggers false positives and unfair account bans.
This works fine until the table gets big.

Then most of your statuses are Complete and finding an ever decreasing percentage of Incomplete rows will result in essentially a table-scan.

Then that table scan will start to take longer than your cron interval or will biff through your IO or CPU and you've got problems.

Then you might try adding indexes or beefing up your queries and then you'll realize you've just traded 6 for 12/2 because now your index updates on writes are hurting you more than your scans on reads.

Then you'll have the brilliant idea to cull your data regularly or have different tables for Complete vs Incomplete.

And then you'll want to do this culling or row-move in a transaction because you've never bothered making the job idempotent because it was implicitly so in the database all along, and now your transaction locks will compete with your cron scanning or index updates and now you'll maybe put the status table(s) in a different database and work on idempotency.

And then maybe you'll take a step back, have a nap, and wake up to realize you've just implemented a queue but not very well and have tied its design to your specific business-flow and good luck adding retry logic or new status fields.

If you're gonna use a database as a queue, make it a different database server (or schema!) from your business data. Don't tie business transactions (completing the job) to database transactions (since ultimately there will almost always be more than just one data/processing system involved), and maybe really just adding a simple Redis or SQS thing from the beginning isn't going to cost you that much so might as well squeak it in while the costs are still low.

None of these instill any confidence in me that Stadia has tolerable input latency. Geforce Now certainly doesn't. A mouse has a much lower tolerable input latency than a controller. Then again gimped experiences like aiming on a controller are just as bad so you do you.

> 4K HDR

HDR could mean a lot of things. Geforce Now substantially cuts the color depth even when using only a small fraction of the available bandwidth. It's night and day. I'm sure Stadia does the same (otherwise adds more lag).
I’ve owned several pickups. My current pickup has two doors, a vinyl floor, roll up windows, a key to open the door, and dents all over it. That’s a utilitarian vehicle. The $60k luxury barges I see at the mall are not that.
If that's how it actually worked, that'd be great. But I don't think you can count on energy demand to decrease or even stay the same over the long term.
Fantastic, thanks. I see Swift has everything checked green (full support?) so I shall dig in a little deeper there. But I’m also interested to see whether JavaScript (in progress) will outperform (perf and memory) the JS VMs that already exist and have been optimized for years.

On one hand I am a little shocked that the Computing and Information Science department at Cornell has 2000+ students across 3 majors.

On the other hand there is a gap between people who write software professionally as opposed to writing software to support other things that they do. A big part of the the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s was putting computers in the hands of the latter.

I have never once mentioned the word "censorship", and that is not my only concern. I would be saying the same thing if someone were asking a coffee company why they continue to sell coffee to this evil organization - even though no one would claim that the coffee company is "censoring" someone if they refuse service for this reason.

My point is more related to this idea of a private company punishing an individual or organization for behavior it doesn't like. I believe this is a dangerous notion, and we should be demanding it stops, not encouraging it to happen more.
No need to be ignorant. The impact is pretty significant.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/02/brexit...

What are the good parts you refer to in Brexit?

> Britain has “taken back control.” But the government has struggled to show the benefits.

If there had been benefits, rest assured they had been trumpeted from the rooftops.

> Since Britons voted in 2016 to leave the E.U., the country’s per capita income has grown by 3.8 percent in real terms, compared with 8.5 percent growth in the E.U

> But the impact on the economy may take years to fully reveal itself. “I compare Brexit to a slow tire puncture versus a car crash,” Portes said. “It takes time.”

> But Britons who voted for Brexit because they wanted less immigration would be disappointed.

> Despite all these arrivals, the United Kingdom is facing a massive labor shortage blamed in part on Brexit. The country has struggled to bring in fruit pickers, hotel maids and truck drivers. The National Health Service in England is short tens of thousands of doctors, nurses and midwives, in what a parliamentary committee called the “greatest workforce crisis in their history.”

> Johnson’s government now says this arrangement [Northern Ireland] is tearing the kingdom apart, creating disunion and strife.

Brexit is far from done and the relationship with the EU is getting worse. The most likely new prime minister of the UK has been leading the charge to break the Northern Ireland protocol (which is linked to the peace agreement in Northern Ireland).

> Johnson’s government is pushing a law through Parliament to unilaterally overturn the protocol — a move decried by critics as a breach of international law.
> Carmack talks about wrestling and then grappling which is an absolute grind.

I had no idea he was a wrestler. My oldest son and I train BJJ together and he finally got interested in high school wrestling after we did a standup seminar. I'm really happy as it tends to develop mental toughness better than any other sport.

For freelancers and small consulting shops the general advise is to do consulting in a different field than their own product/startup. That's because a freelancer can't dictates the contract terms to the customer, which is usually a larger company, and also the legal expenses would be too large relative to the contract size.

You should incorporate a new company anyways for lots of other reasons.

Large consulting shops may have a better protection since they can afford lawyers and can negotiate better contracts.

Employees usually protected much better than freelancers/consultants, b/c they don't have much negotiating power over the small letters of the contract. So many NDA/non-competes might be non-enforceable in practice.
I think lots of people assume that the Toyota Hilux / Ford Ranger type pickups are as big as American pickups. In reality the pickups sold for the UK/EU are modest compared to the US. Even an F150 is quite a bit bigger, nevermind when you get into the F350 etc.

I think that's what these residency permits and visas are designed to change. It specifies non-EU remote workers (read: Canadians and Americans) What you're describing sounds like it would likely apply to EU residents only - as a way of mitigating the complete free transfer of movement/labor it allows.

I think the main difficulty is in the "obviously unjustified" determination.

Member organisations would be trying to get the anti-patent-troll org to defend any and all IP claims against them. Not all IP claims are patent trolling, some are legitimate and you don't want there to be big arguments whether this is a troll attack that needs defending.

Perhaps the way to do it is by the type of claimant rather than any analysis of the merits of the case. For example, one standard would be "Anyone who brings a claim while not actually being a competitor of the defendant".

I absolutely hate cryptocurrency shilling on HN so forgive me if the following appears like so, but this answers your question.

> Those with the most resources to mine will mine the most and thus receive the most, allowing them to mine more, and the cycle of centralization continues.

This is not a problem if the reward distribution is proportional to the investment from miners, which happens when the mining competition has low or inverse economies of scale, and a low barrier to entry.

In PoW and Bitcoin especially, the economies of scale are huge. "Industrial" miners are greatly more profitable than home miners, and ASICs require an upfront investment which comes with risk that smaller operations might not want to take. The result of this high barrier to entry and economies of scale are empirically verifiable by looking at the hash rate from block wins.

A correctly designed PoS system almost completely removes economies of scale (notice I said correctly designed, because many other PoS cryptocurrencies actually explicitly favor larger stakes), but might add some artificial barrier to entry, like Ethereum's 32 ETH minimum. The wealth centralization effect is also amplified in PoS by how directly acquiring the scarce resource required to participate in the competition influences the value of existing stakers' investment.

In Proof of Space consensus protocols (PoST) [1], the scarce resource is storage space. This can have minimal or even inverse economies of scales relative to money invested, as the running costs become almost as minimal as a PoS operation. And since the quality of the storage material is also irrelevant, what matters most is the cost per Tb of acquisition of storage space. The best savings are done on second hand drives, which makes investment in free time rather than money the profit differentiator. The free time to wealth ratio scales inversely, so smaller PoST miners can have a proportional advantage over larger ones. This decentralization effect is empirically verifiable with how much more individual mining nodes the biggest PoST cryptocurrency Chia currently has than Bitcoin and Ethereum, despite the comparatively very low absolute amount of rewards its consensus delivers to its miners.

[1]: full name: Proof of Space and Time, with Time referring to a competition required to get reliable timestamps on the blockchain happening in parallel to the competition over Space.
