Indeed, this is great. All newsletter popups, cookie popups, "are you sure you want to leave" popups, give us feedback popups... They will all go on the top layer so your adblocker could hide it all at once.
The fact that we (Fly.io) require a credit card is evidence that we don't plan to take the free plan away any time soon. (The credit card requirement is purely an anti-fraud thing). :)

As I think a lot of people will point out: Heroku's DX is better than ours in a bunch of ways. Their superpower is DX, and our superpower is scaling apps out across the globe (our secondary superpower is running clusters of services). We're working hard on simplifying our Docker-based DX (our schtick is that we convert Docker/OCI images into VMs) --- we have a `flyctl launch` command that will automatically generate containers from standard framework repositories --- but Heroku has us solidly beat on that stuff.

Also, we're proudly CLI-first. If you're allergic to CLIs, we're not your best bet. We love our CLI very, very much.

I could say lots of nice things about us, but so can every hosting provider; the useful things to know are where you might be tripped up by us vs. Heroku. Also, I think Heroku is a pretty incredible accomplishment, and they've had 15+ years to work on it, so I wince at the idea that we're doing everything they do --- seems unlikely!

> Researchers want to be in specific locations because of their prestige. However, when all US-funded research is also available outside that location, the walled garden of prestige becomes rather porous. Especially since the reviewers typically aren't paid either.

You are assuming researchers are saintly figures dwelling in a vacuum who don't need to constantly prove to their department head or promotion evaluation committee of their worth. That is not the case. The walled gardens are desirable for some because their social functions are not easily replaceable.

One way to decouple the evaluation of scientific output from the walled garden is simply to stop using them as a gate-keeper in making hiring and research grant distribution decisions. But apart from the constant lip service, there is no momentum in doing anything concrete about this in academia.
> The infrastructure isn't paid for when it's built (including the public house). It's financed on debt. Pay-by-use is just a form of tax payment.

Sorry, I don't understand the relevance here.

> It's just that the "use" for information is nearly free, so it doesn't make sense to charge for usage.

Exactly. It's easy to provide the information to essentially infinite people for free, and there's no real downside to doing so.

> If the road was already completely paid for by tax-payers (no debt), and then a toll company wanted to operate the road for a 99% margin - you'd see a lot more people complaining about that.

For sure. Of course, real world charges for roads/parking is a little more complicated than that.

> Street parking is an interesting example in that the demand charge is probably unrelated to the underlying cost. However, it's just one of the many examples of taking tax dollars from Pot A to pay for things in Pot B.

Yeah, the most obvious reason to do this for street parking is because you actively want to manage demand of a highly demanded, finite resource. You don't really need the money, but charging gets you other changes you want. Ditto for congestion charges.
I once read something somewhere about the architecture of either Bell Labs or IBM or somewhere like that back in its heyday. Apparently it was set up so that people had their own individual rooms to work in which were situated down long corridors that fed into a large atrium which was where people ate lunch and was also the only way in and out of the building (probably a firefighters nightmare). The author credited this as causing a lot of the innovation and success of the company; people had spaces where they could get deep work done uninterrupted but then the nature of the building contributed to people bumping into each other and being exposed to lots of different ideas from different parts of the company. Hacker News reminds me of this atrium.

I kind of feel like subreddits would somehow end up leading to me discovering less interesting content. I feel like I come to Hacker News to discover random stuff from a very broad church that is mainly rooted in STEM but also has things that are often related such as philosophy, psychology, productivity and the like. I think something would be lost if it went down the specialist sub areas route.

I do however get the appeal. I myself have searched for “hacker news for finance” when wanting to know more about the topic and found someone else had already asked the same question on HN.
Lobste.rs is very similar to hacker news but has gone down the tag route suggested in the other comments mentioned here. https://lobste.rs/about
Their statistics in homepage doesn’t claim they are bigger than Anime Taizen. They said they only have 13898 animes (title?).
And then they mentioned that it is not only for Japan anime but China and Korea as well.
The thing is that 4nm doesn't actually mean anything. Intel's 10nm node is mostly on par with TSMC N7 and it caused quite a bit of confusion, so Intel renamed a bit improved version(something they would call 10nm++) to Intel 7. It's all just marketing and have been for 15 years or so.
I would love to see an entry-level-spec, large-screen version for seniors and those with vision issues where high resolution is next to useless.

No-one seems to be building such a phone, probably because most people in their 70s and above either don’t have a cell phone, or still rock a low-tech flip phone with physical buttons.

My own father (83 this year) would love a low-resolution screen the size of the iPhone Pro Max, just without the bells and whistles and “Pro” aspect of the Max.

Hell, if the iPad mini could be turned into a fully-functional cell phone without relying on VoIP hacks, he’d likely jump at that.
Yeah, and it has a BeOS feel to it.
I think it's important to consider the context for this advice, which is introduced in the opening: dwindling funding and competition out to kill your company.

Presumably, the advice that follows is a direct result of those constraints. However, if you don't have those constraints, I don't think you need to grind yourself to the bone.

Yes, there will always be competition looking to eat your lunch. Is getting to market first and fastest the most important thing? Depends on the product. All-encompassing social media platform? Yes. High quality saas tool? Perhaps not. In most markets, there's always room for competitors, and even if you become an underdog, producing stable, affordable, high quality software can make you a serious competitor to a company 10x the size who is constantly breaking things and pissing off their users.

AWS Free Tier (e.g. 12 months of Amazon EC2 750 h/month, 5GB S3, Amazon RDS 750h/month, 1 million Lambda requests / month, 25GB Dynamo DB,...). This can get you pretty far in the first year of building, testing, and iterating.

Odds are it would be extremely easy with, say, an Arduino Pro Micro. I've interfaced a variety of old hardware (Sun Type 5 keyboard, Depraz mouse, original Macintosh mouse) via USB using one.

It actually is, because the interview process influences the size, diversity, and caliber of the pool of candidates who apply to your organization, complete the interview loop and accept offers.

If you have an unlimited engineering budget or a big, attractive name then by all means, force candidates to jump through as many hoops as you'd like, you'll still be able to fill open reqs. But the majority of companies are not in that position and in fact struggle to attract and retain technical talent.

The new site does seem to have more entries, but I haven't checked what the differences are exactly (e.g. are some things counted in one but not in other). For example the table shows 36 movies from 1910s, in AniDB there is only 26 (search with start time between 1.1.1910 and 1.1.1920, the only entries are movies).

Scott Forstall: Just the iPhone Stuff
Actually surprising no on the first (edit oops, second) count. The procedure wasn't really based on an algo rather just feelings in my head.

After painstakingly going through so many samples finding the bad ones I got accustomed to their sounds. I learned the ranges of the orchestra from the ranges provided by the Philharmonia orchestra.

My first attempt at composition was just tossing around notes until it turned into a blob of doom sound which I wasn't really happy with.

I watched a presentation on intonation and got a better feel for why harmonics sound as good as they do.

I watched the Philharmonia's presentation series on Bartok (I'm kind of a fan of Bartok) and got a better feel for where his rhythm came from by viewing the folk dance performances he was inspired by. I didn't end up with a folk dance though. I made a rhythm in F# almost like morse code and it helped me treat the composition like putting meat on the skeleton of the rhythm.

After the melody was complete I was shocked at how bad it sounded compared as a string quartet to the piano version. So I shifted the one note rhythm octaves and forwards backwards fifths to get F# on B. I also ditched strings and did woodwinds and the flute and I think it sounded a lot more pleasant.

That was better but the range of the melody was not taking good advantage of the pallet of instruments I could use.

So it was a simple matter of selecting the notes in the piano roll for the melody and shifting them until they were in better agreement with a harmonic.

The process from start to finish took about 4 hours.
Resources for Migrating from Heroku
I've seen a lot of discussion about where to go. The next logical question is "How"? Full disclosure: I work with community at Render. And I'm thinking about how best to support people who want to make the move. I linked an example of the kind of resource we have on hand. What do you find most useful in this type of guide? Specifics or high-level observations: both are valuable.
Even worse is instagram entertainers who go by influencers. They don't even claim to produce content, just that they can influence users behavior.

Obviously this is is valuable for the customers of social networks (advertisers), but it's usually not so blatantly exposed.
Free parking is actually bad, particularly in cities, though it's bad for reasons largely specific to cars.

> Putting this in the hands of the city - not the state, not the feds - has greater potential to help influence positive growth with citizen input while reigning in costs.

I'm leery of this; cities have generally shown themselves to be easily swayed by NIMBY's when it comes to housing policy. Just look at how California the state is constantly trying to get cities to build more housing semi-willingly through their local policies, and how pretty much all the coastal cities (who are the same sort of liberals elected to state-wide office, mind) just ignore that and do their best to do the bare minimum.

> Tax the companies that ship goods on those roads and bridges fairly and you'll recoup those costs.

Why though? Like, why is doing taxes on companies superior to, say, general/road tax funds + bridge tolls?

I'm open to the idea of making things free to the user, but I'm not so dogmatic as to think it's the right answer 100% of the time.

> The fees you pay for them are what ought to ultimately be paying for those services (in addition, yes, to the other taxes we collect).

Right, and I'm saying that this reasoning can apply to other things as well. Just because something is at least partially paid for by tax funds somewhere doesn't mean it should have zero cost to the user (though certainly sometimes that's true).

I think this is more of an issue of the GP not having explained why they believe a single cent of public money should mean zero cost for use.
Ask HN: What's with the sudden surge in spam and dead stories being posted?

You know roughly what the future looks like, but it only takes a tiny (sub-millisecond) amount of error (due to user movement, clock drift, wireless lag etc etc) to throw the phasing off and ruin the effect. So you still need some combination of precise modeling/listener positional data and/or a sophisticated algorithm that uses an input signal to detect and correct the error and keep you “out of phase”
No, not really. The "3nm" in the "3nm process" is not a measure of anything in particular, and even if it is a measure, the measure may or may not be in the neighborhood of 3nm.

Several years ago, fabs started naming each next-gen process with a smaller number of nanometers, even if the process size didn't change. It's just marketing now.

I'm a dancer. "Take it from the top" means to start a run through of the current piece from the beginning.

Except … we were practicing a section of a piece. And then we started digging into the details on a very specific portion of footwork in the middle of that section. And our choreographer, instead of saying "start from the section", said, "start from the top". And humans being what they are, we all understood, somehow, and the right thing was done without complaint.

But then came the need to start from the beginning, at which point she now had to differentiate from what she had been calling (erroneously) "top", and uttered "start from the top top". Some amount of playful joshing followed … and then the term stuck.
"What is clear is that we will need to adapt to the new normal"

The idea that cognitive liberty should be a global constant for all humans — seems self-evident to my mind. The freedom of the individual should be placed above everything else, as long as it's not hurting anybody.

Ubuntu on MacBook M1 is a horrible experience. Screen tearing and lots of other issues.
Copying files has the disadvantage of requiring some merge mechanism, or not permitting parallel modification.

I found vaultwarden to be a nice alternative. It runs on my server at home, to which I connect the relevant devices by VPN. It still requires the server to be online for modification (& the VPN connected), which I find to be a bit annoying, but it solves the concurrent modification issue.
Plus, passwords are encrypted at rest and the browser extension verifies I'm using the password on a legitimate website (anti-phishing).

This looks like a nice piece of work. This area and adjacent tooling areas are ripe for improvement.
NJ has been doing it for decades, the Wikipedia article gives a pretty good overview. There's similar programs in other states, and many examples of poor/bad schools that get tons of funding. Such as basically every major city in the country.

Possibly entire states and nearly every city for decades is not enough time, success may be right around the corner!

>I'm personally willing to bite the whole bullet and am an open-borders advocate. But it's a mistake to think that supporters of border restrictions aren't aware that they're explicitly anti-meritocratic.

I'm an immigrant to the US. I support tight border restrictions because the current status quo regarding the Mexican border, visa overstays, and emphasis on family reunification makes it harder for the US to have a truly meritocratic system, which would be something akin to the points-based systems of Canada and Australia.
