Enjoy! It's a great story.

(Plus: for who might not know, DARPA is US defense research, and heavily influenced by the intelligence services needs. Which is not necessarily bad! Just good to understand where and how Google originated. And wrt DARPA, they funded the creation of the internet itself, for whatever matters.

In Europe, things often go slightly different. The Web is a result of CERN, who are also a project partner of OpenWebSearch.EU. Why? Well, better search can also be beneficial for better science, not just for end users wanting to find their way or buying something.)
Interesting. In my experience, seasoned C++ programmers grasp the advantages of Rust very quickly. Not all of them are convinced that the advantages outweigh the practical problems, but they don't deny the existence of the advantages.

I would have said C is firmly a Blub, though.

Show HN: Effortless on-demand preview environments in your cloud
Hi HN, we've been working on Cohesive for the last few months. Our goal is to simplify DevOps tooling for early stage startups so that they can focus on what matters the most - building great products for their customers.

As engineering teams grow in size and complexity, getting access to a stable environment to test your code and collaborate with team members becomes more and more difficult. In many early stage organisations, the focus is on growth and the lack of tooling makes it hard to spin up new environments on-demand. This causes many frustrations:

1. Some teams end up creating a queuing mechanism where environments are locked by an engineer/QA or team trying to get their feature out. This is error prone and requires high collaboration to work, if at all.

2. The DevOps team has to manually spin up these environments. This adds to their already quite full plates and slows down releases.

3. We've seen most teams create an in-house solutions for this. This requires high investment and needs continued maintenance. It's also typically quite expensive and takes effort to be cost effective.

We believe, in 2022, this should be a solved problem and hence we decided to build it. Here's are some features:

1. Test every PR in its own environment.

2. All the infra runs in your cloud. This means you get all the benefits without compromising on capabilities.

3. Once the config(how to run your application and the resources it needs) is set up, everyone else can just reuse it to launch environments. This simplifies onboarding for new hires massively.

4. There are cases when the service you're working is dependent on a few other services. We provide a solution for this out of the box where you can launch a group of services with one click or on PR. We call it Stacks.

5. Environments can be made private which can only be accessed when connected to the private network for your org. This is easy to do with the CLI.

6. Save costs by hibernating environments when not in use.

7. Written in Go and runs on K8s(EKS for now). We currently support AWS with plans to support other platforms soon.

Rust gives you data race freedom and memory safety and a myriad of other great correctness preserving qualities like Options, `unsafe {` and a high quality type system.

Not to mention that it is blazingly fast.
> All of those would be great things to point out for context, but this article chose only one number to use

13 or 14 vs 16 years isn't all that different, and most people understand absolute numbers better, so if you have to use one it seems like a good choice and isn't misleading with statistics, as the OP implies.

In reality, most of the human population is not looking for solutions. Countries with more population are not necessarily better than countries with smaller populations.

IMO, the best strategy is not playing number games and improve your current population instead, that way you increase the likelihood of problem solvers without increasing the pressure on the environment and the average quality of life.

Maybe NVIDIA will help people slowly start to realize that employees should not have to play the telephone game to make purchases.
Another way of viewing this is Google intentionally lost money on Youtube for years in order to kill out competition. Now that competition has been eliminated and its network effects are firmly in place Google is has greatly degraded their service to grow revenue.

Can you elaborate on the Gemini protocol? I did a quick duckduckgo search and couldn't really find anything relevant.
This is awesome! I still use my Pixelbook, and I love it, and was always dismayed that it seemed to be yet another great product that Google lost interest in.

For folks wondering "who's the market in this?", the Linux container support in ChromeOS is awesome - my Pixelbook was actually a great dev laptop (I ran postgres, VSCode, Node, etc on it), just with age it's lack of upgrades is starting to show. So for me, on the "ChromeOS side", for me it's a benefit that it's basically just browser and android apps, and then on the Linux side I have everything I need for development.
> For me, the platform has always been more of a resource than a habit. I only go to it for specific content and nothing more. Unlike die-hard YouTube consumers, I don’t subscribe to multiple channels and follow each and every video they put up. So paying to remove ads, watch YouTube in the background, or use the multiple other features a YouTube Premium subscription offers didn’t really make much sense to me.

This hits the nail on the head for me.

So much internet-based subscription marketing is purely targeted towards heavy users. That makes good business sense, of course - heavy users are more likely to pay up. But positioning your product solely towards these users trashes the user experience for people who still want to use it, just less frequently.

Adobe Creative Cloud is another case in point. I use Illustrator a couple of times a month, no more, for a few legacy freelance gigs that don't pay very well. Before CC, the Illustrator pricing model worked quite well for users like me: only update every few years and you were fine. Now? It's £240pa whether you're the heaviest of heavy users, or just an occasional user like me. I can't justify that, so I'm still eking out an old copy of CS6.

I remember visiting the original Legoland in the mid-90s and being impressed that they offered cheap tickets from mid-afternoon onwards. The London Boat Show used to do something similar. As the inexorable move to subscription models continues, I'd like to see more of this "lite" pricing.
> the Rust community has done a really great job around discussing unsafe in the years since the actix-web issue.

I agree, I started Rust before this drama (I wouldn't call that an _issue_, it was the whole culture that goes wrong here), now peoples try to understand why you need unsafe, but it hasn't been the case and for _years_ it was almost impossible. actix-web is the pivot point but the simple fact you need a sad situation like this show how crazy the safety discussions were before, really.

Once again: Things are changing and I'm more than happy to see pragmatism in the Rust community. But you can't behave like all of this didn't happens.

> Sometimes the unsafe patterns we bring with us just don't match the Rust model.

I agree and noticed this too in some cases (compiler does miracles), that's why discussions have to be serious.
> Well, this is media reporting rather than scientific inquiry.

The first step of the scientific method is observing and questioning reality. Whether this action is performed by somebody with "researcher" in their job title or not doesn't change that.

> There certainly are ethical limits to what can be published if it goes against fact or scientific consensus.

It was also scientific fact at one time that the Earth was the center of the universe, or that washing your hands before surgery was pointless. How do we know when it becomes ok to question fact or scientific consensus or not?

> the current scientific consensus that the Earth is warming due to human activity is so strong

For the sake of argument, if we take that statement as an iron-clad fact, we're still left with a wide range of outcomes within the reality of climate change.

1) How much is earth warming?

2) What level of harm would that cause? Might some areas of the globe benefit while others are harmed?

3) What if the proposed solutions to climate change cause more problems for humans than benefits?

Is there not room to disagree with many proposed climate change solutions without being labeled as anti-scientific?

> And anyway, the question I was considering was "is there an argument that the DailySceptic is harmful".

Since you seem to be focusing on utilitarian outcomes, have you even considered the ways in that skepticism of what you're told to believe might perform a social good?
I think my point is, ‘why would anyone want to care?’.

If someone cares and it matters to them, it is not infeasible.

If no one cares, then it may be feasible, but is pointless. No one would ever bother to check, even if said etched-in-glass checksum was still around and findable.

The Bible isn’t vastly different from it’s original writings - or one of the most printed works ever- due to time alone. it’s because each generation finds it’s own reason for propagating what they want (and not propagating what they don’t), and that’s a necessary property for it to exist in a way anyone cares about at all after this amount of time.

Otherwise it would just be (at best) some rotten parchment in a language no one can read, and of at most academic interest in some caves in the Middle East. If someone came up with a checksum on such rotten parchment, the only people who would care would be math nerds - assuming anyone ever found it.
there's junk on every retail platform, but i disagree that amazon retail is all garbage. myself and peers have noticed an increase in quality of chinese import over the past 5 years. to the point that i would seriously questions buying a brand name domestic product over the chinese/asian import off amazon. i think the quality gap has been slowly closing.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy how much educational content is readily accessible these days thanks to youtube. There's never been a better time in human history to want to learn something.

First of all, we have this blog post at least once a year, like top commenter has said. Second, uh, no, you're a moron. Open source now is just completely commercialized. Firefox looks exactly like a 90s garbage web browser that shows you some stupid page full of ads, and links to news with ads, on startup. I am an open source developer. I don't expect any gratitude for what I do, I just want to get shit done. People who pretend issues don't exist are annoying. If I am using a typical open source library these days, I expect it to be made by some guy developing it as if it's his job (and accordingly, with lots of corner cutting). Basically all these new sprawl of languages are a stack of half working bullshit from the build system to the GUI all made for clout or on a whim based on some idea thought of last night, or by some extremely inexperienced person. And the only reason none of this stuff works well is because open source devs are literally clout chasing and constantly move all their dependencies (also fixing invalid problems that shouldn't exist like RCE bugs). You're right, I shouldn't expect them to work at all.

I didn't even read your article, I have better things to do. The idea that people are "entitled" in tech is retarded and no spin on your title can make sense. Tech is a sea of festering rot piled up 100 times.

Read the whole link. Nothing about the article shared here, and the points made are really half-baked and highly debatable.
>This is getting more irrelevant to the thread

Maybe not the thread, but certainly relevant to the top commenter's story, which sounds really embellished.

"Failing the MCAT" (?) -> "Failing boards as dropout reason" (?) ...

And top commenter is all over the thread, trying to win people back after folks point out these oddities. Seems like a lot of effort.

Either top commenter is the car sales messiah or embellishing (along with his "alleged" med school dropout colleague). Both are possible, but one is more likely.
I totally agree. I just joined a shop that has banned new class components from entering the codebase and I still don't understand why.
yes, the distinctions you make are relevant; my point is exactly that there is NOWHERE NEAR the liquidity in ordinary markets.. I was too quick to object and with insufficient distinction, I stand corrected

How does this compare with libp2p? Every time I try to use it I get the feeling that the python support was abandoned half-way, maybe OpenZiti would be better.
Yeah, I've been thinking along these lines too. I think it could evolve into something more substantial with a few additions to the UI. I've found myself wanting to store more and more notes in it, but then I run up against lack of page organization. I don't want it to get bogged down in folders and tags and such, but I have some ideas to strike the right balance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
> free=response questions that are automatically evaluated and can handle fairly complex mathematical expressions - man, was that a lot of work!

Wow, that's excellent. I can imagine that would have been a lot of work.

> People like to believe they can outguess a multiple-choice question by being clever

Personally I think it adds a bit more complexity and toughness if I can't see the answer in advance. But that is purely my individual style and opinion and I have not seen any research either proving or disproving my hypothesis.
Apparently, the size of the mobilisation will be 300k people, so this isn't going to be an overwhelmingly large force. The speculation I've seen is that this move is about 1) stopping the attrition of professional soldiers as their contracts expire and 2) providing manpower in logistics and controlling the occupied areas, so as to allow more rest and rotation of front-line soldiers.
I think some of the most extreme criticism doesn't go that far.

Bitcoin crowd doesn't like less than 100% backing. The argument isn’t that they have nothing.

When Tether had disrupted fiat redemptions and lost banking, people would find the banks they likely moved to by looking at massive increases in the bank’s reported deposits.
TickTok, Vimeo, and Nebula are all direct competition but YouTube is just entertainment for most people so any streaming service also counts.

YouTube premium isn’t worth it to me, not because there is a free option but because YouTube content isn’t worth 10$/month.
This is distributed SQLite 3, running (I assume at least partially managed?) LiteFS[5] for you. Which is pretty cool!

What I'd like to have seen is how this compares to things like rqlite[1] or Cloudflare's D1[2] addressed directly in the article

That said, I think this is pretty good for things like read replica's. I know the sales pitch here is as a full database, and I don't disagree with it, and if I was starting from scratch today and could use this, I totally would give it a try and benchmark / test accordingly, however I can't speak to that use case directly.

What I find however and what I can speak to, is that most workloads already have database of some kind setup, typically not SQLite as their main database (MySQL or PostgreSQL seem most common). This is a great way to make very - insanely, really - fast read replica's across regions of your data. You can use an independent raft[3][4] implementation to do this on write. If your database supports it, you can even trigger a replication directly from a write to the database itself (I think Aurora has this ability, and I think - don't quote me! - PostgreSQL can do this natively via an extension to kick off a background job)

To that point, in my experience one thing SQLite is actually really good at is storing JSON blobs. I have successfully used it for replicating JSON representations of read only data in the past to great success, cutting down on read times significantly for APIs as the data is "pre-baked" and the lightweight nature of SQLite allows you to - if you wanted to naively do this - just spawn a new database for each customer and transform their data accordingly ahead of time. Its like AOT compilation for your data.

if you want to avoid some complexity with sharding (you can't always avoid it outright, but this can help cap its complexity) this approach helps enormously in my experience. Do try before you buy!

EDIT: Looks like its running LiteFS[5] not LiteStream[0]. This is my error of understanding.

I created this role at my current firm. While I don't know your circumstances, here's what I did to get it funded:

* Got buy-in from my coworkers

* Collected data on how much wasted dev time there was

* Collected data on what we would gain (be specific: time to live, faster release cadence, more releases, whatever is real and appropriate)

* Collected data on what clients would gain (errors more likely to be caught before release, more features, etc)

* Present to boss, refine message, keep going up the ladder

MVP for a PoC, in my opinion:

* Come up with project goals as a team

* Sane branching strategy. Can be done at the team level if needed by making a team-level "main"

* Standalone (meaning no-deploy, "devops" framework independent) unit testing system. Use the one that comes with your language if it doesn't stink. Add unit tests to new code.

* Basic build & test system. TeamCity is easy to deploy, configure, and maintain on-prem, Jenkins supports complex use cases. Automatically run on commit to the team-level main. Allow devs to run on-demand for their feature branches. Use other systems (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc) if you have the budget.

Keep it simple. Don't worry about pull requests and approval chains at this point. Automatically build it, test it, and put it someplace it could be deployed.
