Agreed, the number of subscriber links is kind of high. If it still gets them extra subscribers, then probably its ok. I guess they are monitoring the numbers on that.
It used to happen at Microsoft back in the day. I was in SQL Server and we openly talked about this happening. They literally told us being in a great, high functioning org like sql server had a certain penalty. Then top management said don't worry, we got extra money for our people. It was kind of obviously silly.

On stack ranking & the penalty for being in a great team - yes, also happened, being in a great team but you still had to rank someone lower, better to be in a worse team to get higher ratings. It had obviously negative impact, but there was some combination or organizational pride that had been cultivated, plus we thought we'd all be millionaires anyway so what did it hurt. But I bet some people had to leave who were the unfortunate victim of these affects.
Nice to see tsoding on the top of HN, this guy does amazing streams and youtube video
I'm not OP, but I don't think the argument is even about rendering. The whole point of SPA, if I understand correctly, is to send the javascript/data and then dynamically create the web page client side (with minimal updates when data changes). Javascript is fast, but a server can dynamically generate HTML in any language. Most server side languages and/or frameworks will be written in faster languages than Javascript. Additionally, you don't need to wait for the browser to deserialize the JS before it can start generating the HTML.

So the benefits of server side generation is no need to deserialize the code that generates the page and locality to the data. I'm guessing these two things are the biggest contributors to the speed ups.

I guess "server side rendering" is a bit of a misnomer, since you're not getting a rendered image, but rather a functional web page. It's possible I've misunderstood the whole SPA vs server side rendering arguments as well and my entire argument is invalid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Your attitude isn't unique, I'd describe it as "It's not a crash until the people/companies I consider fraudulent get destroyed." I hear it about some crypto investors in particular. There's a lot of people who basically consider recessions cosmic justice and want a cleansing fire to reign down on certain entities/people they despise. I propose: that's not what a recession/crash is.
As expected, no source on the date, just making up nonsense.

If you'd look at the documents filed in the Celsius bankruptcy, you'd see a sworn affidavit that says Celsius stopped providing additional collateral in May 2022:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysb.31...

>In May and June 2022, Celsius made the difficult decision to forgo providing one of its lenders, Tether, issuer of USDT, a stablecoin, additional collateral and agreed to an orderly liquidation of its loan. During the market crash, Tether issued a margin call to Celsius with regard to an outstanding $841 million USDT loan. Although Celsius had always provided sufficient collateral to support its loan, and had never previously been liquidated by Tether, the Company agreed to an orderly liquidation and settlement of its loan with Tether to preserve the remaining collateral in excess of the value of the loan

Bitcoin dropped around 30% in May-June, so this timeline lines up exactly with the 130% collateralization ratio.
I heard it described as follows: the full force of the river you see upstream has been turned on its side and the current goes down. You can’t pull against that, especially against curved, mossy, wet rocks

So as if an elephant were pulling you down beneath the water and you only had your strength to grip against it. Can’t be done.
Meta loses patent suit against voxer
Sample size of "me", but I couldn't even tell you the last time Teams crashed for me. I frequently change cameras and microphones in the middle of a call (I change the microphone because I have a USB microphone that is shared to multiple PC's with a USB switcher which means it is essentially being unplugged and plugged. This causes Teams to switch to a different microphone.)
You can stitch together images taken once per Jupiter day (although you'd lose fine details of weather patterns)

It is very difficult for a technical person to assess a salesperson candidate's true abilities. Since most people have come across pushy, commission focused salespersons, those experiences support their stereotyped view.

I have met some 7 figure earning sales persons working for IBM, SAP, Oracle. They thrive in the big corporate environment. They have networks of past clients and extensive knowledge of the industries they specialize in. Obviously to hit those sales targets they focus on government and large corporations. Enterprise scale clients are wary of products from startups regardless of the salesperson's skills.

Perhaps you could use your cold-calling and sales skills to approach the VCs directly and sell them on the benefits of your services to their investments.
A question for hardware people: say I have device that needs to be controlled remotely via WiFi. It seems to me that either:

- the device has a tiny web client that connects to a remote server to send/receive data

- the device has a tiny web server that other devices can connect to send/receive data

Which option is easier? Are the hardware requirements similar? Are there other better options?

Considering the very definition of "deceptive" is "apt or tending to deceive," which is the word I used, I'd say what I used is fine.
The formula for Travel Man was genius.

The producers just have to pick various people who are a good pick to play off Richard Ayoade being himself, and send them off places to film how they get along with each other. Ideally, picking people who love to travel and have a good time to slightly annoy Richard.

TV that produces itself.

The curve ball, which defied all expectations, was the episode in Madeira which paired him up with someone with a similarly rapid-fire and dour wit: Robert Webb. In contrast to the rest of the series, one of the funniest things I've ever watched.

How many Donnie Darko movies they can make before they start hitting diminishing returns? I wonder how many people want to watch 111 of them. There would be some natural variance between performances, editing, lighting, and the like, but it might be a niche audience who can appreciate those nuanced differences between what many might believe are effectively the same films.

> If you then ask, why not have REST calls that give specific pieces of information, ie have sorts and filters within the query parameters, and be able to take a table and ask for specific columns in that table, then congratulations, you've reinvented GraphQL.

Obligatory note: this really is just supposed to be REST. GraphQL seems to be the final expression of throwing in the towel on REST's original capabilities.

As such it's not clear of it's a step forward (REST as it should be) or a step back (let's just use a crippled SQL and ship)

Do you know why I still use taxi's over uber?

Because when I hop in a taxi and tell the driver I'll be inside for a few minutes but I'd like a ride back and they can just keep the meter running, they give me a thumbs up and do exactly that.

When I do this for an uber driver they tell me they're not _ALLOWED_ to do that and if I need a ride back I must call another uber and wait.

And then I hear these companies talk about how these uber drivers really and truly have freedom to do what they want and they're totally not taking advantage of the tax code and pushing all the risk onto the uber driver (wear and tear on the vehicle, insurance, increased risk of car wrecks, etc)!

Yeah, I call bullshit. They're starting to go after these companies because they take advantage of people who are taking long term risk for short term gain (money now vs repairs on the vehicle later). You know how Taxi companies do it? If you drive your own vehicle they get a small % of the fare for the dispatch service. If you don't want to drive your vehicle you can drive theirs and they take a larger % of the fare, but you aren't risking your own vehicle.

Now tell me again how uber is somehow better for their workers?

I refuse to use uber because Taxi drivers are human, uber drivers are an extension of ubers body.

An important bit of color is that the people who funded the game wanted CIG to go the route of more scope but taking a long time, rather than getting a lesser game more quickly. And this continues to be the general feeling of the community as I understand it. (Including myself for that matter!)

Doomed is also strong language — the company has clearly grown significantly and crowdfunding is clearly working to sustain it financially until they release the single player game. The alpha is bigger and better performing than ever. It’s not exactly dying :)

Certainly, I won’t disagree that the project has suffered from severe management, planning, and communication issues over the years. I chalk that partly up to CIG being a new company without established processes working in a unique environment (it’s rare for a big MMO to have to support a live environment while gamedev isn’t close to complete), and partly up to massive scope creep.

Anyways, I’ve easily gotten my $45 back in enjoyment of the alpha, so I’m not salty about it.

Avoiding rebuilding the table is definitely possible for certain schema changes like adding a new field.

But supporting data type changes without rebuilding is not ideal. It will lead to data quality issues and complexity on the application. Integer -> String example is simple. But what about String -> integer, how are the consumers of data supposed to handle the situation where the field in some records has a string value and in some has an integer value? They will have to add type checking which complicates each of these consumers.

Then some of the downstream consumers such as data warehouses depend on strict data validations. We went through this problem at Uber- I blogged about it here https://www.uber.com/blog/dbevents-ingestion-framework/

I've got an idea!

I remember when CD's were becoming common, most car stereos didn't have a CD player. There was a kludge: "fake" tape which was actually a recorder head on a tape chassis connected to a CD player which transferred the CD player output to the cassette player: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette_tape_adapter

Now, my idea: a tape chassis, with a recorder head, with a built in battery and SD card connector. It could play MP3's directly to the recorder head and I could use old cassette players to play MP3's!

Now, some possibilities: if it is efficient enough, it could be powered by the cassette player motor. No need to re-charge! Another possibility: it could sense the direction and speed of the motor and use it as a UI to play, stop and fast forward/backward; no need of any button!

Nuxt3 will have this feature, they call it "nitro" and it uses the npm library called h3 (as opposed to expressjs) under the hood.
What you're missing is that there's a limit to what contracts can legally do.

I can certainly enter into a legal contract that requires someone to eat my feces for breakfast, but I bet you if I tried to enforce such a contract I'd be told the law won't do it.

This here is why the idea of being able to walk away from a contract doesn't make the contract valid or legal, nor does it prevent the contract from being exploitative.

Find another reason why it's not exploitative, because them being able to legally walk away from it isn't enough. Not even the LAW uses such a lax definition.

> The biggest problem keeping Americans from watching UK TV is access

I love British TV. I would happily pay for a UK television license if I could access iPlayer/Channel 4/etc from the US. I don’t get why they are so hell bent against making more money and insist on region locking content. Instead I have to resort to pirating it or buying import DVDs/BluRays.

A long time ago I used to pay for a Linux shell account on a UK provider so I could access iPlayer via a SOCKS proxy. (This was long before VPN providers were popular.). It was awesome to see the latest Top Gear or Kitchen Nightmare episode. It’s a shame we’re locked out of such wonderful content.
Although I find the prospect disturbing, I think at some point (assuming we manage this dangerous transition) we will produce children in a technological way that is decoupled from human mothers.

I could also see a social movement developing that campaigned for this on the grounds of equity for women. It could be presented as both essential for the species and empowering for all genders…and that might be true.
I wish you well, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Cinder: Meta's internal performance-oriented production version of CPython
Simple answer:

It is a badly coded mess of spaghetti code, written with an ancient framework (AngularJS, currently running version 1.5.15), then ported to different platforms with Electron.

Have a look at the source code in your browser, it is not obfuscated in any way.

It is a single file of almost 17MB (!) of minified JavaScript, and I'm surprised the browser doesn't outright crash and actually manages to parse this, run and display a web application.
Did you find out :D?
Even on Linux, userland programs are encouraged to perform syscalls through the vDSO, a mini userland library supplied by the kernel. Performing syscalls directly is supported, but the vDSO is preferred. For most syscalls, using vDSO simply allows the kernel to pick the fastest available method for entering the kernel. But for a handful, the vDSO provides an optimized implementation that doesn't enter the kernel at all. One of those, ironically, is gettimeofday.

That said, the vDSO is much smaller than any libc.
You've just perfectly characterized why on-site infrastructure will always have its place.
Ah, I was wondering about the extent to which it might pull you under. Like, is that quantified at all? Consistent or only in a few sections? And how does it compare with some of the world's other most dangerous rivers?

This kind of Malthusian thinking has a horrible track record. Imagine if we drastically altered the course of technological progress every time a cabal of "experts" declares that we're going to destroy the planet.

I'm not arguing that we should be reckless with the environment, but there are massive existential risks to humanity with this kind of self-limiting belief system. It's not obvious that one side of the argument is right.

If we even slowed down to linear growth from our current exponential path, life on Earth would probably suck within a generation.
Well, I mean it is measuring how reliably you can get a GPU instance. But it certainly isn't the overall reliability. And depending on your workflow, it might not even be a very interesting measure. I would be more interested in seeing a comparison of how long regular non-GPU instances can run without having to be rebooted, and maybe how long it takes to allocate a regular VM.
But it came out as "deceiving"; check the title.
