> This in turn delayed the whole move by a day, since our local office couldn't re-dispatch on the same day, because ... reasons? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this security incident was in fact just their own lousy database implementation leaving things exposed.

From experience with a franchise whose business model had to account for network outage/unavailability (in rural areas, during natural disasters, etc.), given your mention of a 24h delay I'd speculate that U-Haul might have a similar system in place-- an on-site database that synchronizes with the remote during overnight batch processing.
Designers might. As a developer it was a great relief that pretty much all of the designers I work with adopted Figma. I could finally stop paying $500/y just to view files. With Figma I don't pay anything and can thoroughly inspect designs and export assets as needed without paying a cent (of course most of the designers that are creating the designs pay for a subscription).
There is a sweetspot for nocode where you don’t try to
be too general purpose. Concrete examples would be Excel, IFTTT, Airtable, and many of the startups that convert those into apps.

The sour spot is things like Bubble, which while being a fine product suffer from “ok now am really coding but with a clunky UI instead of a text editor” which is a problem inherent in making universal nocode solutions.

With this in mind I think layouts and connected components should be provided to
non coding users as templates. E.g. a site where you log in and can show notifications etc. is a single template. You then extend and style that.
Yeah: I am actually old enough to have been waiting for Facebook to be supported at my University ;P. I remember it already spawning with the same functionality of, say, Friendster, and so it already was based on the "social network" concept of people having "walls" they posted to and the concept of "friends" that you were thereby keeping up with... which frankly isn't anything like a "bulletin board" (virtual or physical) and was much more like people posting stuff on the door of their dorm. It could be that it was a bit different, though, in the first handful of institutions before it got around to supporting mine.
I’ve spoken to the CEO of Ansa bio about this topic and they aren’t focused on lowering prices, but increasing what can be built.

I would like to know what specifically you think I am wrong about, though. Always happy to improve my thinking.

I've been fighting my city over bullshit $50-$110 parking tickets that are intended to curb homeless people living in their cars. That's right, kicking people when they are down. So far, I've won 4 of the tickets and a 5th is pending the process.

The thing is that you have to pay the ticket, then fight it once (they automatically vote against you), then you appeal it, where they take a closer look at things, and then pass judgement in my favor. At times, I'm out hundreds of dollars and it takes 3-6 months for it to all resolve itself.

I'm tired of it.

I’m interested in what hardware experts think about this too. TFA suggests an opportunity for deeper/proprietary silicon designs, which might be a nice way to create a moat before WinArm PCs and laptops arrive.

“SiFive can offer something Arm cannot, flexibility. Customers can modify their cores by adding hardware accelerators directly into the vector register file. This can be used for extending the X280 core to applications such as DSP, image signal processing, and AI.”
Well, except for the SKUs like FTW3 where they took a waitlist and then promptly decided not to manufacture any for the next two years in favour of higher markup SKUs until they sent an email "there's plenty of supply now, so we're done"
yes, that was it thanks!
Do you have specific examples, preferably of something within the past 5 years? I think his writing and speeches are very well thought out and insightful. Often the criticisms people make of him are superficial and because he approaches topics from a very different perspective than what is traditional, but I'd be very happy if you can link to a specific blog or talk that you recall being insufferable.

Rather than being content-adverse, his writing and talks are actually very dense and informative.

If the Texas GOP had any sense they’d impose upzoning on Austin from the state level. They can just say they’re giving Austin residents what they say they want. It’d be a win win for them.
That's a nice one - would love to see that play more often IRL.
I've been looking for something like this but sadly I can't use it because I can't rely on JS. I wish there was some decent local-first event based db that was language agnostic. Very few projects are reactive/streaming.

If anyone's interested my current workaround is piping JSONL between my processes (and into files) and it works pretty well, but lacks more advanced features.
I think that CRDT and OTs are a bit overkill for TinyBase. Most apps are not text editors or figma. Most apps are just forms. The general solution for forms is to track which fields on a record have been modified by the user. The user’s change is the source truth and never gets overwritten by the network. Other fields are free to be updated collaboratively from the network. Once the user has synced that field it is free to be updated by the network.

This kind of solution can be built on top of TinyBase without CRDTs.
Nice. Feels like you are a “Ghost” or “Bearblog” kind of offering. Always good to
have more choice here.
Same boat, I sat out the 30XX madness on an RTX 2080 (ironically an EVGA) and fully intended to just buy whatever EVGA had in the 4080ish range - I've used EVGA cards forever, I'm genuinely sad they are going away because their customer support was/is amazing and on an 800 quid part that is reassuring.

Now I have to figure out who is the next best supplier, gonna guess Asus but will have to figure it out.

Might even bin nvidia entirely and look at the AMD options for next build.
I think of it this way in terms of efficiency vs. flexibility vs. cost:

- fixed-function ASICs tend to be very efficient (as they are optimized for a fixed function) but are inflexible; cost can be very low in volume but design and lead time can be high

- FPGAs can provide much of the the functionality and efficiency of fixed-function ASICs, with increased flexibility - and overhead - due to reconfigurability; per-device cost is usually higher than an ASIC but may be good for low-volume designs; design and lead time are much shorter; they're also great for prototyping

- CPUs offer extreme flexibility due to software programmability, with commensurate overhead and potential loss of efficiency; highly optimized for software; (application) design/implementation time is usually lowest, and, for some applications, cost may be cheaper than an FPGA or a low-volume ASIC.

These aren't absolute rules, and there are also other intermediate points like as FPGAs with embedded CPU cores or soft CPU cores, CPUs with reconfigurable logic, etc..

I think it's interesting that over time many functions are "softwarized" when it just becomes cheaper and easier to put them into either a cheap commodity microcontroller or a CPU that is already in your device. I've seen designs (posted on HN I think?) where a vintage hardware CPU is implemented on a cheap modern microcontroller as a sort of drop-in replacement/upgrade for the original hardware.

I also like the flexibility of generic FPGA systems that can implement and/or replicate a range of hardware with highly accurate functionality and timing. It's also fun to design your own CPU and then run code on it at hardware speed, or your own custom network device that runs at line rate (see also programmable switching chips.)
I've got a dorky 'matrixish' oembootlogo on my desktop cause the bios tool asks for an image. Doesn't animate or anything though. It would be difficult to use the windows 95 pallete animation to do a rotation effect, I think.

Why on earth would you ever think "I'd like to smash the computer"? That's exactly the same thing as "I'd like to smash the hammer", and who in their right mind would think that way?

Some science-fiction writer way back in my dim past once wrote that computers are "nothing but fast morons". They don't/can't think for themselves, any more than a hammer can.

So: there is no such thing as 'technostress'.

'Stress' is another matter entirely, and that's purely within ourselves.
agreed, and we've heard heart-attack-level pricing pushback for the few db's that do scale well

likewise, for analytics, we're seeing a bit of a split:

- DB side: Traditional real-time graph analytics (pattern search, ...) can often be done on extracts from KV-store level queries, so just use those and post-process the compute ("extract 1-2 hop neighborhood, then cross-product in lang xyz"). Like the old Titan -> Cassandra days. GPU can be nice for accelerating a simple inferencer here (e.g., a T4), but not necessarily the actual fetch. Gets a bit more blended in 'real' knowledge graphs, but that's more R&D. (Edit: I believe Facebook's at-scale graph engine successfully runs on top of SQL for related reasons.)

- AI side: Massive interest in GNNs (we're active here!) as starting to eat the lunch of the result quality that traditional graph analytics can give. Basically the pendulum swinging back to graph for areas like recommendors & classifiers. Shopping carts, fraud, cyber, etc. These had gone the way of ML + AI systems for awhile now, but with GNNs becoming practical, best of both. And... GPUs matter over CPUs again.

Funny enough, we're getting into a bunch of vector search scenarios, and because of our particular scale & query richness needs... looking at OSS graph DBs and pairing with GPU nodes. /insert "why not both" meme here
Here's my reading of it as a non-expert.

The tubing isn't pinched shut, it's just pinched to restrict the flow. I believe it's to create a bottleneck where pressure can build up between the "hot side" and the "cold side" of the refrigerator. Before the pinch the compressor is driving gas into the pipe, where it meets resistance at the pinch point and compresses to liquid, shedding heat. Then after that point a narrow jet of compressed refrigerant squirts into a lower pressure part of the pipe and starts to evaporate, expanding and taking in thermal energy again.

Of course, the refrigerator already has some valve to do this, but the author mentions that it may not be designed for the pressure differential needed for propane, so you can make your own with a pinched tube.
Why? Because of the crypto currency? This things been around way before that is timeless.
Huh, actually it would be interesting if online matchmaking in games took into account more of what you’re looking for in a friend. Like if it prioritized matching you with people in similar age brackets and maybe could take into account other interests… so it’d be like the people you’re playing with would make someday likely friends. They could show your match score so you would immediately know if another player had similar interests… I kinda wish that existed!!
yeah, he definitely misread the line and the editor probably didn't catch it. i mean, checking wikipedia, seems like even the very first router/modem had 300 bit/s and that was in the 60s. probably should have been 28KBps

An interesting read; I commend the author for not diving into hyperbole when the subject matter is practically begging for it.

...however, I think the nature of Free Software is that it embraces the weal-and-woe of humanity. It reflects the real danger of human progress, and no one-person should have the right to stop that. I'm reminded of Diego Rivera's "Industry Murals" [0], depicting the incredible progress of humanity juxtaposed with it's incredibly human cost.

Powerful ideas have powerful implications. The fact that Free Software is essential to modern combat is equal parts flattering and terrifying, but not an excuse to stop writing Free Software.

I remember Adam Savage got something like these to keep from baking his noodle when he made the No Face costume for Comicon. I wondered when those sorts of things would show up for more general usage.

Isn't part of what makes these work also linear compressors? The old on/off models have gotten better over time, but when we were kids, some of them would practically cause brownouts on the electrical circuit. Too much startup current. So for electronics you need someone with a smoother transition.
Ask HN: What programming languages are you excited about?
Hard pass. I owned a few hundred GPUs over the past couple of years and asus reliability and customer service are only second worst from nvidia itself.

I actually had much better success rates with gigabyte cards this gen than asus. For nvidia rmas, I would often have to fight with someone in India that would demand I try the GPU in two separate full PC builds. I had the ability to do that, of course, but what normal person could satisfy that RMA request?

I received more than a few asus rma cards that had severe damage. Ports didn’t line up, pins were bent, and in a couple cases there was just tape all over the card and it wouldn’t post. Tape. All over the card.
> Listen, Californians set the culture wherever we go.

Which culture, the NIMBY California culture, or the pro-density California culture that just legally struck down single family zoning?

The reality is that all places have both cultures, and the conflict between them doesn't fall along state or political faction boundaries, but rather generational ones.
If you really believe calling something 419 scam, Nigerian prince scam, or advance-fee scam will help reduce crime, have bag of money with your name on it just waiting for you to tell me where to send it.

Literally had a friend once ask me how to wire money, asked why, they made me promise not to tell anyone, and then showed me scammer email. I told them I would show them how and got lucky and within few clicks tracked scammer down to a cafe in Nigeria. Told scammer I would leave them alone if they told my friend the truth and they did. Friend got mad at me told me I chased they away, and found out a week later they wired the scammer money.

Yes, some scams are complex, but are not. Highly doubt telling people not to get catfished never helped anyone. If the advice of beware of something that sounds to good to be true do not help someone, giving it a fancy name for sure will not.
Weird. I currently have a FE (3080Ti) and I would take this card over an AIB any day. Much cleaner design without all the screaming gaudy plastic panels and RGB lights. No heat pipes sticking out the sides.

The problem is the limited availability. They just don't want to sell a lot of them, sadly.
Luckily things seem to be slowly turning here in California. The YIMBYs are, very slowly, winning. There’s even a 2300-home “builder’s remedy” project in Redondo Beach, the first use of this law in history.

As usual the rest of the nation is about to experience what California was doing ten years ago. I suggest bucking up for the ride and fighting those NIMBYs with all the forewarning you can gather from our experience.
There was like fifteen years where you couldn't get the card direct from Nvidia/AMD because they didn't want to be in the business of making boards, just chips.

Also right now you can't buy direct from Nvidia outside select markets and specific retailers, who spent much of 2021 charging for that privilege.
When you walk into a house you haven't visited and that house has a bookcase visible, do you look to see what's on it? Do you, perhaps, make judgments about the host or hostess's taste based on what you see? (A friend was unimpressed by a gubernatorial candidate's shelves, which ran to Reader's Digest condensed books.) Every Sunday, the New York Times Book Review has an author interview that concludes with "What's on your bedside table?"

If you have a bookcase in a common area, do you take any thought to what's in it? I confess to taking a little: a bias in favor of hardbacks on one table; biographies and letters on a shelf; etc. (And I confess to being slightly flattered that when my son was working from home during the pandemic some of those he Zoomed with were favorably impressed by the books behind him, most of them mine. I did not set up that bookshelf to be a Zoom background.)

What strikes me as odd here is simply the lack of context. If you've read a book, tell me why you read it, and tell me what you thought about it. It's great that AG read The Inimitable Jeeves, but how did it stack up against Leave it to Psmith or Uncle Fred in the Springtime?
I think you're implicitly assuming the employees want to work there forever.

The CEO told GN there won't be another round of layoffs; Instead there will be voluntary attrition.

Pretty sure the implication is that everyone there, not just the CEO, is burned out after 2 years of covid, supply chain issues, and dealing with Nvidia. Employees are planning to leave regardless of EVGA's plans so it doesn't make sense to stay in a low margin market.
> Russia said Ukraine joining NATO was a red line in diplomatic discourse and then they acted on it.

They acted on what exactly, considering that - as far as I know - Ukraine is not a NATO member?
You mean overcharged... see how it's frosting all the way back to the compressor? That both wastes energy cooling the outside of the cabinet and can damage the compressor if liquid refrigerant enters it.

Ideally the charge amount should be such that the evaporator is fully frosted, but not much more than that.
I agree with this.

I've worked with various teams on game jams and I’ve had conversations with people over the years, encouraging people to hold themselves to a lower standard. It’s not just the fact that this is a game jam—we are not competing with Zelda, and our game doesn’t need to have scope, scale, or polish similar to a Zelda game.

I also enjoy playing a game and seeing somebody’s amateur-ish art, or hearing some clumsy musical phrases that they put together. There’s something special about that which is hard to capture when you start spreading the work around people, because it’s just so hard to put together a coherent vision for a game in multiple minds.

We’ve also talked about how you run into a lot of people who’s main goal is to do job X at a higher level of technical ability and polish so they can get hired by a studio they like. It’s understandable why they’d want that, but it also leads to people sanding the edges off their style, so to speak. This makes it difficult to assemble a team of people who are all interested in the same style of development process (no judgment—some people on your team want a portfolio piece for a future job, some people want to express themselves here and now).

I don’t think making a solo game developer should be any different than being a novel writer, in the sense that it’s not a club reserved for the people who are good at doing it—but a club for the people who put in the time and effort to make something.

No they didn't, because the replacements are zero VAT rated. You include the original invoice for sale showing that VAT was originally paid and then the replacement becomes 0% VAT rated on import. So the page is correct, but it doesn't tell you that in most cases for commercial goods the VAT due is 0%. You would be liable for VAT if the original didn't have VAT paid for, or if you couldn't prove that it did.

From personal experience, the most awkward stretch of dining solo is the time after ordering and before any reasonable part of the ordered meal is on the table.

CL personals had a seedy rep (maybe with good reason), but I found it to be undervalued as a straight-up friend-making and normal dating tool. It's the only platform I've seen that focused primarily on text instead of photos, which was a unique niche and opportunity.

People seem to gravitate towards photo-focused swipe-to-date apps... but most women and a bigger majority of men will tell you that they all hate them and how shallow they are.

And of course, the seedy stuff and trafficking happens on a whole host of other platforms that appear untouched by the policy push that took down CL.
