Best practices on rolling out code scanning at enterprise scale
Imagine believing that Redfin has any influence on the U.S. homes market.

The U.S. home market is worth ~50 trillion dollars. There are > 1.3 million homes for sale at this moment.
TSMC is not hurting for cash and can easily shoulder the risks - or sell bonds if they'd like prefer to keep the warchest full. There is a long list of customers who'd kill for a chance to get (additional) capacity of the leading edge node process for years at a time (AMD, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, and the rest of the companies giving TSMC the other 75% of revenue)
Housing should not have been treated like stock market. But it was and now we have a lot of bag holders, just like there are bag holders in the stock market. The housing bag is a very expensive bag to hold.
I've done the sysadmin, DevOps, SRE journey.

A couple of others spring to mind:

- if you're not regularly testing your backups, you don't have backups

- monitor SSL certs for expiry. It's amazing how many outages I've seen because this was missed.

- are you allowing direct connection to your server from the internet, or do you want to go through a bastion host. Do you need 2FA on this, say because you need to meet ISO27001.

- do all the above through CM (like Ansible or Puppet) for obvious reasons.
I think the contempt is there, because we're talking about someone's parent, and for some reason, all cultures (that I know of) picked the mother as the one being out of line. As in, when there's someone that's out of line, that has to be the woman. If this would be random, or balanced, we'd curse at others like your father is a deadbeat, or that your father's sperm is weak, and therefore you are weak, or things like that. Yet that just doesn't come up much.

Edit: I do get your point though. It's not as straightforward as I implied. In fact I think that it's a complex, interwoven system, which comes up unfair for everyone. But I do observe a general hatred toward women, and if something like this curse comes up, I can't help but think that the two are in connection.
> I want a function (isinf, isnumber etc) and I am happy.

Sure, isnan(x) is what one should use. The fact that it is `x != x` is an implementation detail. The problem is that it is also a hack that breaks the usual mathematical axioms for equality and for order relations. For instance, if you want to sort floating-point values, you have to write your own comparison predicate in case there is a NaN, because a NaN is neither smaller, greater or equal to itself.

As for infinities, they somewhat work for real numbers, but it gets more complicated for complex numbers. For instance, Annex G of the C standard stipulates that an infinite complex number multiplied by a nonzero finite complex number should yield an infinite complex number. Sounds reasonable, but consider:

(∞ + i∞)×(0 + i1) = (∞×0-∞×1) + i(∞×1+∞×0) = NaN + iNaN

So Annex G recommends some complicated functions to be executed at each complex multiplication and complex division, which makes little sense for most applications, and I suspect few people do that. As an aside, Annex G breaks the whole point of NaNs, because it stipulates that numbers like (∞ + iNaN) should be considered infinities rather than NaNs, which means that NaNs are no longer necessarily viral.

All in all, what I find frustating with these aspects of IEEE754 is that they complicates things under the hood, but the benefits seem to me limited to some specialized applications.
True. In fact we’ve made televised “I’m not the father” dancing into a national pastime.

The patriarchy mentality our norms are built upon includes blaming women for everything ‘wrong’. Women are blamed for premarital sex. Men are celebrated for their scores. Women are paid less yet have less leisure time. They are the first to blame if anything goes wrong with children, including just bringing them into public spaces. Men aren’t expected to be responsible parents, and usually aren’t primary caregivers. Women are the butt of jokes, and are constantly told they aren’t funny. Some men are actively campaigning to make women property again. Women are forced to give birth for anyone that inseminates them without exception in many jurisdictions now.

Not all women are sex workers, but the fact is that female sex workers (sex entrepreneurs?!) are generally disrespected by patriarchs and their women. That internalized distain comes out in a variety of ways, but quite materially as well (ie bank policy and regulations). Male sex workers are envied by other males. “I’d love that job”.

Yeah I think that you mis-interpreted what I meant. Being prevented to do stuff as simple as changing a switch, a plug or a faucet is plain stupid, and I'm pretty sure it's not even backed by data (or if it is, it's probably overconservative).
Unfortunately those monies aren't going to come back to us but to the real estate agents.

Also, puritan moralistic misguided people need to get with the program. You don't like it? Don't do it. You don't hold the absolute truth (in fact you are just recycling garbage that was created out of thin air millenniums ago and does not apply) and you don't get to decide how everyone lives their lives.

Upstanding society my ass. An upstanding society is one where you are free to do whatever you want to do and you are polite and tolerant of other people that don't fit your ideas. That's upstanding!

"surely the GPU manufacturer already paid the royalties necessary to implement and use the codec"

Codec patent licensing is a complicated topic which often defies logic. Your GPU manufacturer may not have paid a licensing fee or at least one that covers all use.

Licensing fees are required by whoever enables the full encode/decode path. Your GPU may provide acceleration, but if software is required to enable full path encode/decode the software which uses the acceleration is required to pay the licensing fee not the GPU maker.

If you are purchasing a consumer GPU and the manufacturer has paid a licensing fee it is likely their licensing fee only covers personal consumer use of the codec. If you use the codec outside that scope either yourself or the software which enables the full decode path are responsible for acquiring a license.
Show HN: Kong Gateway 3.0
Uhh...Schleifer... Not quite sure what autocorrect was doing with that.
It keep happening in the 80 and 90's.
In my experience with modest specifications, you can source servers from tier 1 vendors (Dell, HPE, etc) with 5 years of support for less than a 1 year commitment for the roughly equivalent AWS or GCE instances (without prepayment).

The monthly opex to house and power and cool those servers isn't _negligible_, but if you're doing back of napkin math comparing MRCs to Cloud you can just deduct the costs from their bandwidth charges that have been marked up 10,000%
But you are accepting the narrative. To me, these stories are akin to 'parallel construction' - they provide the justification for the implementation that our overlords have already determined would be expedient for their goals. This way of looking at things simplifies understanding of the news we are presented with. So: what is required by the technocracy?... aaand here's the news story/stories to support that. The presented reality is not unfolding naturally (if it even occurred).
What I stated is factually correct, unlike the BS from the troll who created an account just to reply to this thread (see the comments under his account). Facts are not allowed on HN when they bother other people?

You're also falsely accusing me of religious flamewar. This has nothing to do with religion; my snarky remark on Jesus not approving was just to show that the Catholic Church bears no moral authority, really since its inception. Let's not even discuss crusades or Spanish genocide in South America. These are simple facts that anyone who has studied history can see for themselves. I obviously mean no disrespect to Jesus or his followers.

There are also affordable dedicated server providers with DDoS protection, like OVHcloud.

What makes the wings so good?

It's basically 'book babes'. Booth babes went out of fashion a while back for good reason. This kind of thing is relatively harmless in the instance but in aggregate puts out a vibe.
Pretty crazy correction if you run the math on mortgage payments. I bought a place 1 year ago with a 2.75% rate. Say you're somewhere outside a major metro buying a $500k house. With a $100k down payment, a 2.75% rate equates to $1,633/month. A 6.5% rate equates to $2,500/month.

With $600/month in taxes/insurance, the "don't spend more than 40% of your income on housing" rule means the necessary income to comfortably afford that property increases from $65k to $93k. That'll create some waves in the market.
Ask HN: Who owns the HN Top 100 / @newsyc100 Twitter bot?

Anyone know who owns it? Seems perhaps they're unaware it's broken so would like to let them know.

Aaah. I was wondering too, and noticed that it was `width=0` and not visible, and had a few rounds of ????.

Isn’t that the point of raising the interest rate though? Reduce spending, reduce inflation. Doing both at the same time seems like madness.

The system failed to act as intended then, and I'd honestly not be remisced if I didn't mention it creating new victims. The people staring at that data and making laws know this; it's not like they're unaware and yet these systems are still staples. At some point you have to sit back and question whether they're actually trying to solve a problem at all.

Gather ideas from strangers, but work through them with people close to you
That is a good point. If you don't need to deal with everyday people to socialize, you don't have to adapt your behaviour to the mean expectation of what is proper and not. I remember reading an interesting socialist argument once, that this is historically unique because capitalism allows people to reduce social relations to that of monetary exchange. As long as you can pay your bills and buy what you need, nobody can complain. It is this perspective that people who retort with "Why do you even care?" implicitly hold, that I am not a fan of.

There's definitely contempt there, but just for the person being insulted.

I think you're analyzing those kinds of insults using the wrong framework. It doesn't have much to do with women as a class, but rather with the relationship with the insulted person to his mother. Insulting someone's mother will probably get under someone's skin more than insulting their father, because (especially historically) they probably have a warmer/closer relationship with their mother due to gender roles around child-rearing.
Rates were higher than this continuously for 30 years up until about 20 years ago. It really is the recent rates that have been exceptionally low.

What's risqué in OP's picture?
They will, but I'd guess they probably won't be willing to pay the higher price either (I believe the only reason Apple has the first batch of N3 capacity in first place is because they outbid the competition). So that likely wouldn't leave TSMC any better off.

Additionally I released stablediffusiond 16 days ago

https://github.com/w4ffl35/stablediffusiond

it is a daemon for linux that runs Stable Diffusion and waits for requests along with a client daemon that handles requests.

currently it uses rabbitmq for queues. similar to sdrunner (which the krita plugin uses) it opens a socket and waits for connections.

sdrunner uses threads and SimpleQueue to achieve the same thing that stablediffusiond is doing with rabbitmq. they both use sockets.

stablediffusiond works very well.

if you're going to use something in prod, you should probably look into aws services, but stablediffusiond offers an alternative, and works really well locally.

Currently I am removing the PID requirement from sdrunner (which i will also move to a new repo).

this will make sdrunner a standalone local socket server which could be used by local devices to make stable diffusion requests that will generate images.

basically: it is a way for you to set up a machine in your house and have other machines (or itself) make requests to generate images. it has a queue and could accept as many clients as you like (only set up for 1 right now but this is changed with a single variable).
As a side note, I find this:

>Do you have any advice for software engineers who are just starting out?

>Don’t be afraid to talk with the customers. Throughout my career, the best software engineers were the ones who worked with the customer to solve their problems. Sometimes you can sack a half year of development time just by learning that you can solve the customer’s issue with a single line of code. I think the best engineers are creating solutions for real world problems.

to be very good generic advice.
Do you have to pay tax to the Government where you live to buy a house ?

I'm wondering if Stamp Duty is just a UK thing. Here we pay a tax to the government when you buy that is based on the value of the house you are buying.

Up to £250,000 Zero

The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) -5%

The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) -10%

The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) - 12%

The tax goes up even higher if you are buying a second home.
The market does not work that way. You're implying that the cause and effect are backwards. It is local wages that set the price! The prices, while they do adjust slowly due to high friction in the housing market, are not exogenous.
> Ok so you save money on the monthly bill

Right, you understand, but maybe you don't really understand?

If you work at a company large enough, and with enough DevOps, NetOps, Ops people to go it alone, and can get favorable lease terms on hardware, then by all means, host it yourself! Paying all of those people and also paying for AWS seems odd, for sure.

But if you work at a company without a deep bench in various Ops groups, then good news! You don't have to hire them! Instead you can rely on Amazon's deep bench, and focus your salary budget on developers rather than Ops people.

There are scales at which, even not counting enormous budget expenditures on staff rather than managed services, AWS doesn't make sense. And if you're just using EC2, you'll hit those numbers more quickly than if you make good use of things like Lambdas and SNS/SQS and Dynamo and so on. The cost savings can be enormously staggering, and the more you lean into AWS managed services, the more that's true.

We see the edge cases on HN, the rare instances of someone being kicked off of somewhere, but for most people, the uptime and long-term reliability of AWS managed services is higher than trying to go it alone.

PayPal backs down in fight against free speech

Look for large big box stores that conspicuously have a product line absent, or only have a very defined subset of the product available.

For awhile iPhones were just completely missing from some larger stores, but it seems Apple has the upper hand there now and they're back in business. And even now Apple holds a very right reign on the prices charged (Best Buy seems to have the most leverage here, as they often sell new MacBooks for a bit lower than the Apple Store). This is one of the reasons Apple started the stores; gives them leverage against the retail giants.

There are a number of brands you'll never see at Costco; they don't play the game.

Why you want to blame it on a profession and assume the distribution of crazies is not uniform?

Only difference is that doctor can pretend it's for medical reasons, while say, a plumber, wouldn't be able to fabricate plausible evidence to support their derangements.
