Hey, Mihir here! Currently I'm a final year undergrad at IIIT Delhi, and set to graduate in May '23. I'm looking for full-time opportunities.

I'm primarily a fullstack engineer (Node and Go), with a focus on frontend. I've previously interned at Devfolio[0], Pabio (YC S21)[1], and Sourcegraph[2]. Apart from that, I've been an author, maintainer and contributor to various popular opensource repos[3] (such as the browser extension Refined Hacker News ;)).

I go by 'plibither8' on most networks. Visit my website[4], and connect with me on LinkedIn[5].

Deadbands are used fairly often. I'll agree that they're suboptimal in practice though
Well two of three years since COVID hit have been hotly contentious election years. I would expect things to rapidly cool down come this December.
John J. Mearsheimer: The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine War
Ah crap. Thanks. He is fantastic.
Heh, my hacked version of this was used for apache logging. I just ran Mysql on top of a ZFS volume with compression turned on and had a column for timestamp, IP, referral IP, URL, action, and return code. I was amazed at how fast it was, how easy/fast it was to query, disk storage efficiency, and was overall quite impressed at how it was nearly as useful as a standard web traffic analysis tool that took significant time to crunch the logs, but worked on live data.
Those are great points, actually and your comment provides so little detail that I begin to question the intentions behind it.

We have yet to design many vehicles around a hydrogen fuel cell and we have yet to really realize it’s full potential as a power source, dismissing it on these grounds is simply short-signed thinking.

We can extract this resource from a very abundant resource, water, which is huge. With only energy (from the grid or a micro-grid) and water as inputs, you can produce a substance that is able to store energy for later use who’s only byproduct is water.
Better dead than red.
We're growing a lot at you.com
I think that’s hard to know. Nobody is ‘inventing’ smartphones except US, but there are substantial barriers to entry for non US manufacturers… language if nothing else. Also there is a massive network effect benefit by being just-first. My hunch is that if the US didn’t exist someone else would be doing this.
That was surprisingly banal.
So much less interesting than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErE7O5NceGQ

Surely they could have used drones with leering red LEDs to apply the material.

Alexander McQueen was one of a kind.
It‘s feels humbling to see projects one vaguely remembers from using them for a while around 2000 on some slow Pentium still being around and managing to put out major releases.

(I almost could not believe it, checked Wikipedia and found out that Ice WM started in 1997, 25 years ago.)
No. Ads will be inserted server-side. Like in the old days of print magazines and TV.
They existed for a while; but were odd and expensive and by the time cheap commodity PCs could push enough pixels to make one worth using they were also often pulling double duty as DVD players, with 4:3 and 16:9 ratio content.

Mid-range and higher monitors often have stands that allow for 90 degree rotation of the screen, so the wide screens could shift to vertical; sadly a good way to openly communicate that back to the GPU and OS hasn't been a priority.
> methane, a potent greenhouse gas, to be utilized to make fuel

So you can burn it and release a different greenhouse gas. Total result: more energy used and more heath released into the atmosphere.

Very cool.
AFAIK, what they aim for (and often do) in the Netherlands is what I said: having all houses in 30km/hour zones and requiring any crossings of higher-speed car lanes to be on segregated cycle paths.

Kids don’t walk their bike to a cycle path or cycle on the sidewalk to avoid cars, they enter the street in front of their house (likely after riding on the sidewalk for a few meters, even though that’s illegal. Adults do that, too)

That street either has a low speed limit or has separated cycle paths.
That doesn't explain why the community didn't step up much much more and brought the development to new heights.

What is holding back Java developers from using their Java language to adapt the IDE written in Java that they daily use? If their boss told them to implement a feature, they would do that. But they don't implement the feature when they need it.
That's more common for Linux storage. Whether you're using zfs, btrfs, or lvm, all the configuration required to read it is stored in the header somewhere rather than in a detached configuration.
I've been working on something like this for twitter.

I need to keep track of twitter for work purposes but I don't want to login everyday.

Having quick next/previous tabs for days plus sort by likes or comments is invaluable.
My concern would be around reflection, which I think you said gets used when running with virtual threads? and which native compilation can't handle easily. It may need a Quarkus-like pre-build step to generate glue code to work round it.
You don't go looking for an answer. The answer finds you. That may take years or decades, even. Just tough it out until then.
I think intention matters here and his was not to demean or "sight-see" the life of poor people. _You_ are choosing to view this from the most unfavorable angle.
Naw, streaming video is trivial if you have a 1 second latency budget so you can use LL-DASH and CMAF. We hit that target with <100 hours of dev work on a co-watching/cloud-streaming project with only 2 PoPs in the US. WebRTC FEC is a relatively modern and wasn't on the table in 2020.

Btw you almost certainly tested on an unloaded connection so you're not seeing any HOL blocking like a real video stream would. Try playing a 20mbps YouTube video in the background while you ping. Oh and turn on a microwave oven when you're 3 walls (a room and a hallway) away from the AP for extra hilarity on the order of 80ms
The Long Tail of Disaster
If you don't know the syntax of let, then you might find yourself writing

(let (x 5) (* x x))

where you should have written

(let ((x 5)) (* x x))

That is syntax.

Let me ask you a question: Are these two expressions equivalent?

(f (g x))

and

(let ((y (g x))) (f y))

In the absence of macros, the answer is yes. In the presence of macros, there's no way of knowing until you've seen the definition of f: If f is a macro, they might not be. You need to know the syntax of the f macro to answer the question.

CL has a core language with a simple syntax. It also has a lot of macros in its standard library.
IceWM 3.0 Released
Zenmu for PC: IT security reinvented
This has been my portal to get to HN for several years. Clean, with an easier to browse/scan interface (compared to bare HN), easy to find the posts with most votes and comments, and filtering options (which I rarely use).

For some reason, I’ve found that I still miss some interesting posts with hckrnews. Maybe it’s because those posts have been pushed down in ranking over the hours I’m not checking or because I’m not using the available filters. So I still go to HN directly sometimes.
I haven't abandoned it, I just haven't gone though the PRs deeply.

The commit history is a better metric for repo activity.
So the problem is the abstraction is so easy to use to get a project going that people just litter them everywhere... how is that a problem with the platform? At least they are actually in one searchable location. How do you find your production workloads if you have 1000 AWS accounts?
I don't mean to be critical of you, restic, or your backup strategies, but it doesn't seem like you know. ZFS is the I really need to know filesystem. I think it's pretty great and I use it where I can. But if it's not for you, it's not for you.

And FYI, an power supply failure does not manifest the same as a power outage.
The motivation for making this list was due to the deliberate sparseness of the HN Guidelines and FAQs.
I mean, what you are describing is still assimilation [0]. The way to get there can be multifold, but concepts like not being toxic (which seems harder to accept) and providing value instead of making joke-comments (which seems to be accepted somewhat readily) still need to be adopted by new people.

This is exactly how it should be, but it’s also a way that, at least IMO, does not scale and stopped working properly.

I have flexible hours so can take breaks. As long as I do 8 hours, nobody cares when they are.
Your words in whoever’s ears ;)
Thank you for this. Damn right.
Andrew Ng: How AI could empower any business – Ted Talk
So one of my friends started working in a company where windows PCs were pre-installed with mandatory data security solution ZENMU. Apparently the PC was experiencing BSODs and eventually bricked itself. They told me about this ZENMU software that seems to quite heavily take over the windows system, forcing even operations such as shutdown and reboot to go through the ZENMU software.

I looked up the marketing material, and it baffles me how backwards everything about its security is. However, it might be true that ZENMU protects your data 100%, by eventually corrupting it all together :)
Empowerment from Side-Hustles and Its Effects on Full-Time Work Performance
I can't speak to high DPI screens, but I've certainly had display issues out of the box. Usually they just required installing the right proprietary drivers (which surprisingly the graphics card company supplied).

Have you tried Raw Therapee or Darktable? I'm not sure how well they would work first-hand, but they sound promising for photo editing and might have some overlap with Capture One

Methane can be fully neutral when produced from biomass (and this is not a marginal use) Storing the energy as a liquid rather than a gas can also provide some advantage like for fuel cells.
I've been using render.com
The internet is the new TV.
I mean, it’s the same VisualEditor that’s used across MediaWiki sites, including as the default on Wikipedia.

How is it only a problem on Fandom?
I first used an Alto around 78 so it’s interesting they had an “ad” in 79. Perhaps it was part of the internal bake off.

Over lunch a few years later Alan told me about trying to get Xerox to sell Altos. There was a bake-off back in NY between the Alto and a orange-screen fixed-character machine (perhaps running CPM?) with no mouse, no network, no bitmapped display, just a small screen. No laser printing. Anyway the latter won.

A few years later Alan was on a plane and when talking to his seat mate found they’d both worked for Xerox — in fact that guy had made the decision or at least was in on it! So Alan asked how the decision had been made and the guy shrugged and said “well they were basically the same, so we went with the one that was cheaper to make”.
A very similar experience here (although not to quite the same level of success!).

Even for simpler problems the ability to just sit with it for a few hours/days dramatically increases your ability to write quality solutions.

Good code isn’t the most difficult or complex CS algorithms. It comes from thinking about the problem until you understand it so well that the code is almost self-evident.

Of course, once you’ve thought things through so much it seems trivial to you - which I blame for the annoying verbal tick we all tend to get when explaining things where we say “Basically it’s…”, or “it’s really quite simple…”

The real fun starts when you get to the problems that _do_ need weeks of thinking, and multiple prototypes to validate your theories. That’s when you start to feel like the “science” in “computer science” might not be misnomer :)
Thanks for this. I've been on this site for longer than my kids have been alive and I didn't know half this stuff.

The filter by points seems quite useful[0], especially as the amount of submissions has wildly increased in the last couple of years

RobinHood didn't use targeted ads. That should blow a hole in your thesis.

Okay, I'm sure they used some of them as well, but that was not their primary advertising mechanic to get the first 1,000,000 signups.

exciting news - molten salt reactors do not rely on water as the primary coolant and hence might be suitable for arid regions.
It's the 2000s, talking about problems ad nauseam without solving them unless pressing has been the status quo for a few decades now.

As someone who plays bass in a metal band, performs standup comedy in the evening, and doesn't drink alcohol during the week, they absolutely nailed targeting to me.

If I'm going to have to pay a premium for a beverage at an event venue anyways, I'd rather pay the premium for for something with a funny logo that's endorsed by other people I think that are funny.

Their marketing isn't for everyone, but it's designed that way. They laser focused into a niche and are making a killing selling a commodity. Hats off to them, I wish them the best.
I have seen multiple PhD students that when finished went to work on physical type of works. From fish gutting (If I used the right translation of the term) to forest works. Any of them I asked said something along the line of: they cannot take it anymore and it has been too intense to continue with anything that needs them to analyse and think.
“Rich guy burns out and goes to do manual labour”
Very nice looking page.

However I think you should check or reconsider the font files: 275 KB for fonts is a bit much, and it's over half the page weight.
Space is perfectly legal in URLs, but not in a domain name so your example won’t work for that reason.
I can't speak to historical Smalltalk -- maybe Alan Kay or Dan Ingalls will come on thread to clarify -- but its lineal descendants, Squeak and Pharo, absolutely do store sources in separate files on disk -- for Squeak, in the SqueakVxx.sources and <image name>.changes files respectively. These aren't really databases, either, just blobs of Smalltalk source each of which contains class definitions and method updates linearly serialized; the Smalltalk system knows how to walk and index them to find the source for a particular method. Contrary to popular belief, the image is not used to store smalltalk source; if you remove either of these files, the Smalltalk system can recover source code for compiled methods in the image from the compiled bytecode, but things like local variable names will be lost. The source files are not intended to be hand-edited directly, of course, but you can, theoretically, do it.

Moved from Heroku to Scalingo

1) Took a few hours to have everything setup. Transition was easy
2) Not that much. I chose heroku because i hate doing sys admin stuff
3) Can't say for this one, scalingo is a PAAS
4) Scalingo will probably be more expensive for starter plans but as you grow it won't be like heroku's horrible pricing
5) Mostly app with no traffic to be honest

I recommend following either the MIT or Stanford curriculum. Many of the classes can be found online.

1. Networking: Stanford CS144 (taught by McKeown and Levis) is excellent (I haven't watched newer versions)

A senior director at Oracle likely had enough money to be able to afford to take classes while not working (and not going into debt), get an apprenticeship (mandatory for electricians) working for peanuts, and then spend a bunch of money on advertising and/or leverage all his business contacts (as everyone, especially the wealthy, need electricians at some point.) He could afford to pay $$$ for all the electrical code books that non-master-electricians are required to memorize (and pass tests on.) He likely didn't have to worry about health insurance, wasn't carrying any debt, had a reliable car, etc.

Dear everyone in this discussion: stop pretending like people working Amazon Warehouse jobs can just switch gears, and especially stop citing examples of rich, educated, privileged people doing it as "proof" it can be done.

It's pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps nonsense. These sorts of jobs are so physically demanding that you end up exhausted at the end of a shift and there's not much energy for other things unless you're pretty young....and unlike wealthy connected people, they don't have the personal/professional network.
I guess there could be an argument for the NAS part to be one of the jails.

But then, the whole thing should be marketed more like "Proxmox with batteries included".
This doesn’t mention the API used, and the best Google gives me (via https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18680028/prevent-screen-...) is https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitextinputt...:

“A Boolean value that indicates whether a text object disables copying, and in some cases, prevents recording/broadcasting and also hides the text.”

⇒ it seems people creatively use this feature to hide views below such fields from screenshots, as in https://github.com/Stampoo/SnapshotSafeView (and, possibly, the commercial https://screenshieldkit.com/)

I do wonder what those “some cases” are, though, and also why we would want to not show a secure text field in a screen recording. Is giving away the length of your password deemed such a risk?
Fair enough. I think that push model is what people actually hate about ads.

But then again, what percentage of ads is the kind you have to actively go and look for?

I don't know, it implies people would be more conservative with their attention if they had some better way to spend it. I mean, there are obvious ways like studying or being with good family and friends or exercising, but they're hard or undesirable for x/y/z. Maybe some of these difficulties are an inherent part of the value, sometimes it's probably not.

Technology should be modulating these difficulties, and instead some of it is short circuiting our more basic emotional systems. Lower hanging fruit. Though I wonder if the more difficult tasks that make us happier, more sustainable as individuals could be pursued in a purely capitalistic incentive scheme, provided it's viewed on a time scale of ten or twenty years instead of one. What businesses take such a long term perspective though?

If there's one thing that is true in this world, it's that you can't rely on people not fucking up.

All you can do is try making fuckups difficult by figuring out how to implement systems where doing the right thing is the path of least resistance. You won't stop fuckups, but a system where people will do the right thing 90% of the time instead of 50% is so much better.

The premise is you only need about 20-25 years of expenses saved up and have like a 90+% success rate given history. That's what the FIRE ideology started with. Anything beyond 25 years is security/luxury. For a single person not having others depend on them and willing to locate away from any expensive mega-/metropolis, FAANG did make that doable in 5-10 years.

Of course there is never a guarantee.
They do however corrode the pipes, if that can be fixed then they should be usable.

This is what religious and philosophical books are for. I don't suggest reinventing the wheel; it was invented thousands of years ago. People go on about the benefits of meditation, but many religions emerged from it, and were subsequently built on top of those foundations.

I don't want to promote a specific religious book, but you could look into modern interpretations of past work. Rumi's poetry is built atop Sufism, atop Islam, which is atop the Abrahamic religions. Coleman Barks does the Rumi translations that many quote, but in doing so he morphed it to something no longer Rumi. If you find something that makes you uneasy, don't follow it, or look deeper into where the inspiration comes from.

James P Carse is also really good at digging deep and across multiple religions. I'd recommend that as another starting point. His most popular work is Finite and Infinite Games, which is well suited for modern society.
