You sure it's GPU mining? Their website only mentions ASIC mining.
Yeah, I think it is very obvious that rewriting something carefully in Rust for your specific use cases is going to be more robust, faster, and more featureful than something general purpose. You could probably cut 95% of the lines in Nginx to meet your use cases after all...

The thing I'm interested in from the article is what they did to replace their lua runtime. It was used for request processing and WAF rules. Is it now baked directly into Rust? If a new WAF rule comes out do they have to recompile their entire proxy? The dynamic nature of Lua and Nginx was very powerful - I wonder how they changed that or what they replaced it with.
But I didn't have any problem understanding it at all, when I first read it.
>Or perhaps more importantly, what is the c64 of my kid's generation that I can buy for her?

This may not be what you mean, but there are a couple of modern devices that function pretty much the same way, just with faster CPUs and better graphics:

Similar, but doesn't boot to basic, and requires more skill to deal with. Cheap though...

No, then you run into the Byzantine generals problem, which is the specific problem solved by blockchains.

So maybe the problem is you still don't understand what a blockchain is.
That it why it was so much a joy to buy magazines. Those magazines with their program listings, the adds, the letters. I remember to this day when I was with my girlfriend for a long time typing long listing of POKEs to hear music from the magnificent SID.
If it was alternator driven generator it would most likely drift into phase with the network, as the network would either break, or allow it to spin faster depending on in which direction the difference is.

That's actually how the big generators are synced, if there is less load you will see frequency of network increase slightly until the amount of generation drops, similarly in other way.

Inverter based one, hard to tell, entirely depending on code driving it.

But taking into consideration even 20V over low resistance wire could be 20+ amps it would probably trip pretty quickly.

Interesting, do you have a source? Or did you try it?

> I am not sure what WebTransport would enable that isn't already possible with current APIs. Unreliable datagrams? WebRTC. Reliable bidirectional communication? WebSockets. WebTransport probably would make some of the usecases easier or more efficient but it's value proposition isn't well communicated or better yet, demonstrated.

The article does seem to answer these questions.
I tried Dgraph a year or two before it went bust.

I can confirm the query language mistake. The Graphql-alike was different enough to be unfamiliar, and still felt somewhat awkward to use.
The other query languagewas pretty badly documented and also wasn't great. Cypher isn't perfect, but it's pretty decent.

I also ran into a trivial bug around a comparison in a query not returning correct results and pretty much immediately gave up. (It don't remember the specifics, it might as well have been API misuse).

But the biggest issue with all these graph databases for traditional application development is schema. Most of them are schemaless or have some half-assed, basic schema support. Nebula is the only one I can think of with proper schemas.

This is not what you want for your primary data store! Even more so if logic is driven by JavaScript, or even Typescript since there are still plenty opportunities to mess up.

I wish there was a proper multi-modal DB that combines the best of both the relationalnand the property -graph models. The recently announced SurrealDb might fit the bill.

Graph stores are plenty popular for secondary workloads with special requirements, which is not dissimilar to Elastic search for the search domain.

I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I’m glad you found it helpful!

If you haven't dealt with this before, it's not calling support and social-engineering someone into hitting the reset button. The last time I knew someone who had to reset an AWS root account password (broken Yubikey), it required multiple phone calls AWS initiated to the billing & technical contacts (which can only be set by root so an attacker can't easily change them) to confirm intention and then they had to sign a form in front of a notary who checked photo ID.

I classed that as more secure since you can't do it remotely and the in-person portion further increases the difficulty.
That sounds like an awful idea to be honest. Good way to damage your kidneys or flare up an diagnosed previously mild condition like hypotension.

Even so if your electrolytes become imbalanced when you do hydrate after the fast it's a whole other set of concerns.
Not the person you are replying to, but if you use it as intended, you don't usually need to worry about it.

Once I got prescribed, within the first year, the dosage got adjusted multiple times to get to an adequate stable number (which is 30mg daily for me, half of the FDA recommended max of 60mg).

After 7 years of taking that dosage daily (i occasionally skip days once a month or so, or take reduced dosage a couple times a month), I haven't felt the need to increase the dosage at all. The only tolerance I feel I'd acquired is for that initial rush after taking the meds (and that tolerance goes away quickly if i dont take it for a couple of days). But this rush was never a desired effect for someone taking it for its intended purpose, rather than chasing the high. And it still works just as well for the purpose it was prescribed to me for.

Note: i skip a day or two a month or decrease dosage not for some intentional planned reason, but on days when i accidentally end up sleeping in too late. Dont want to stay awake for too long and mess up my sleep schedule.

> using Facebook for its original purpose of keeping up with old friends and family

Not that Facebook lets you do that any more. I was off of FB for a while and recently rejoined because my community and my kid's schools only use FB for communications now. I'm connected to a very small circle of actual friends and family, but I still get daily political memes in my feed (politics I vehemently disagree with as well) no matter how many times I try to block them.
Eh, that seems pretty relevant: the ads are about evolution, you work on evolution related stuff. It's just the ad targeting engine doesn't understand that you're going to fundamentally disagree with the concept being advertised. That's probably an edge case though. 99% of the time irrelevance for advertising means you just have no need for the product being advertised, not that it's the polar opposite of your worldview. You probably don't remember the ones that are merely useless, though.
Facebook is the government. PRISM [1] makes it explicit in Facebook's case, but any corporation beholden to a government for its continued operation is a policy arm of that government.

I agree with all of this. The US and EU kept discussing inviting Ukraine to NATO or even the EU, and the US was pushing towards a military alliance with Ukraine. This would've caused tension even if Russia was a democratic country not run by Putin. With Putin it led to near certainty of a conflict with Ukraine.

But while it's worth looking backward at that to try to get our leaders to not pull political moves like that in the future, it in no way changes the Ukrainians being on the right side of this war, and Russia being on the wrong side. Yes, the US's actions were likely to cause a war, no, Russia is not justified in starting that war. In the same way that European appeasement of Hitler and USSR's neutrality deal clearly led to the Nazis invading Europe, but do not in any way justify the Nazis invading Europe, or the Nazis being the right side.
Things like secured enclave should make it hard to extract private key from a device even if you have full access.
I hope to see a glut of used cards on the market. In the past I've always been able to buy decent used cards for <$100, but the prices have been crazy for the last few years.

I wonder if this is the end of an era for GPU based mining. It's been a long time. I remember buying an R9 270X in 2014 from a guy that was mining Bitcoin, but had switched to ASICs. When I picked it up he was telling me he didn't win enough blocks with the ASICs and was going to sell them too.

I always wonder if that guy played his cards right and became a Bitcoin millionaire. Lol.
incentivizing productive employees (the ones with the most alternatives) to quit if the stock price (or the stock market generally) goes down is a hell of a side-effect when you put it like that.

I guess that's the monkey-paw side of "incentivizing the employees to make the company perform by giving them a stake in the upside"...
A lot of the adjectives that traders use are different from how casuals would interpret things. They are looking for massive profit opportunities and declare hell on earth when they aren't there because it is for them. People who are just putting 401K money into index funds just need their money to slightly outpace inflation which it will almost always do in a long enough time horizon. We saw an outsize bull market and are now giving up a lot of those gains, but if you just buy and hold, you're nearly guaranteed to come out ahead even if you don't really have much chance of making a killing.
No, you won't. This myth needs to die; at least you didn't include the claim that "dozens" of line workers have been killed by this (they haven't.)

First off: line workers don't touch anything unless they've verified with testing equipment that it isn't live and/or they're using something like hotsticks. Anything they actually put hands on is grounded first.

Second: if power is out, your generator would be connected to everything downstream of the point of isolation which means the main breaker in your house is effectively connected to a near-zero-ohm shunt. Your generator likely cannot power even one or two full households worth of surge load, much less an entire neighborhood. Said generator would immediately bog down, and also pop its breaker.

Stop talking about things you know nothing about.
The HN crowd is just too small to be worth the manipulation. This is still really the thing that shields this space. In the grand scheme of things, why would be the crowd of engineers and middle managers more important than any other demographic.
Wait, I thought the whole point was to find pump and dumps early.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do now. The most interesting (for me anyway) would be to figure out what is going to be on Reddit before it appears by analyzing spam/pump and dump groups etc. If you're analyzing Reddit after the fact, isn't that kinda late?

This is tangential to the content of the article but this site's data protection consent pop-up (not sure if this is EU-only) is actually an own-goal when it comes to EU GDPR compliance:

If you can revoke consent for "legitimate interest", it's not legitimate interest. Legitimate interest is a legal basis for collecting and processing data without explicit consent (i.e. it's an alternative mechanism to explicit consent and you can merely inform the user of it, not ask them to consent to it). If you can opt out, it's not legitimate interest. And if it's not actually legitimate interest, you have to make it an opt-in option like the other consent prompts, not an opt-out (tho at least this site doesn't make you select them individually).

I'm not sure what marketing firm convinced publishers they could use "legitimate consent opt-outs" as a fallback for the consent many people probably don't opt in to, but their advice is flat out wrong at best and illegal at worst. They'd be better of not providing a detailed consent popup than doing this because the former at least allows them to claim ignorance whereas this clearly demonstrates an attempt to circumvent consent requirements. Not to mention the current state of the law explicitly requires them to provide both "opt in to all" and "opt out of all" options without additional clicks and dark pattern shenanigans (i.e. they have to be equally prominent and the same color and design).

Also if you find these popups annoying keep in mind that there's literally no legal requirement to have a consent popup under the EU GDPR. You don't even need one if you use cookies. The only reason these sites need them is because they use third party embeds, resources and scripts that set non-essential (e.g. tracking) cookies or want to record/process user data (e.g. for targeted ads). It's the death pains of a failing business model that's making this annoying for you, not the law.
AdGuard is alright and seems to work fine on YouTube.
No, the downside exposure is limited because you can quit your job. You don't have to actually eat a stock drop loss by working for 4 years and vesting a loser, you can change to another job and reset your basis.
And considering there was no real need to move away apart from the difficulty getting new features I would say even if you are operating at Cloudflare scale Nginx is still fine! (Although they did save hardware resources by moving to their own proxy and increasing cache hit rate - but seemingly none of these were business killing issues.)
Among the things that are unfortunate about cryptocurrency as a model is the fact that it's not immune to the general capital-breeds-capital effect. For proof of stake, people with money to spare are likely to have newly-minted money granted to them in the future. For proof of work, people with money to spare can afford to buy the rigs to increase the odds they have newly-minted money granted to them in the future. I think it's fair to ask what the net benefit is to society for a wealth-distribution system to give more money to those who have the most money.

Fiat currency has issues, but at least a government has the authority to conjure money out of nothing and hand it to the poor.
Graphistry is really cool but the point here is not to compete on the visualization side, we needed a tool that scales for a few of our use-cases (mostly as a highly configurable graph visualizes) + a library that can easily be extended :D

> The cost of labor is ridiculously cheap (people become Vet Tech's for love, not money)

I guess the question is then whether labour is abundant/available. Even if there are people willing to work for little, are there anywhere near enough?
Exactly all of this. I've mentioned the first point about add_header redefining instead of appending in a previous HN comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27253579.

It seems like it would be along these lines.

- The company may have to issue new stock for this. That's like a loan: some entity gives cash, in exchange for a piece of the pie. Not in the expense side of the ledger. This is where the value of the shares gets diluted, but I don't think that fluctuations in the value of stock go into the ledger Publicly traded stock fluctuates all the time; that can't be going into the books!

- If the entity is some body of the company itself which is buying the stock, in order to give it to employees, than that plausibly looks like an expense. Buying stock (in anything) would normally be recorded as an asset, I would think, but if the intent is to give it away, then it looks like an expense. Analogy: a laptop bought for company use would be an asset, but if it's intended to be ginve away as a door prize in a raffle, then it's an expense.

I've watched some courses from Yale for an area I received instruction in at a state school that's just about entirely unknown once you get about 150 miles away from it. So, a 2nd or 3rd tier state school. One of the former "Normal Schools" that Fussell complains about diluting the meaning of higher education when they hastily converted to general colleges or universities to soak up demand driven by the GI Bill.

As far as I could tell the content was basically identical & the exercises or papers weren't that different, but two things stood out:

1) The students at Yale were way more engaged, and

2) They had more guest lecturers or speakers, and it was always someone really important & impressive.

It's a proxy server for YouTube. You install this on a server from your choice and it serves a minimal YouTube-like UI without any ads or other obnoxiousness. You can test-drive it by using public instances but those are often overloaded so I recommend running your own.
I have the opposite opinion: autoCAD is great. A true emacs for CAD. It has a really steep learning curve but once you get it is as essential as Excel and a tool for life. You can draw everything there and (like emacs) script it with lisp.
I do expect that recommendation engines should pick up on, and not show me, advertising content that is fundamentally nonscientific (and show those ads to other folks whose profiles are more consistent). It demonstrates that the recommendation algorithm can't differentiate between two clusters that use similar words, but different concept vectors.

Giving them more power isn't the way to do that. It hurts you long-term because you're basically saying that individuals/companies are not responsible enough to make decisions on their own (and need the government to step in).

That's a separate issue from the common misconception in this thread that cash is the same as RSUs.

Well wait a minute, couldn't you say the same about the ISPs that host websites in the first place? Isn't the standard pro-big-tech-censorship position "if you don't like it, make your own website"? If Facebook has to moderate content (according to any standard) in order to exists, why don't hosting providers also have to moderate? (FWIW I'm anti-censorship)

It's a fairly controlled bet with relatively little downside (companies are likely to cover a large drop in RSU value) and a lot of upside. Since the vesting window is 4 years, you can sell as soon as things best, you still get a salary and you can switch jobs at any time the risk isn't that high. And since you can make up a decade of regular income in a few years the logical approach is to roll dice when younger if you can.
I agree that it would be great as a consumer, but Amazon isn’t offering anyone an honest list of those widget prices.

If I am a widget manufacturer, selling on Amazon means I am no longer competing for your purchase with just my market peers. On some level, I am now competing against all listings in that category, including grey market resellers because Amazon doesn’t police for shit.
