Can you explain in more detail how this recompilation works? When is it triggered? Because your emulator is still very slow, and recompiling doesn't seem to help. A wiki or blog post would be helpful.
CSB: I was trying to solve a problem for a client and thought Starlink may be able to help but i had no contact at Starlink nor SpaceX. So, on a whim, i emailed sales@spacex.com and told them what i was up to and the help i needed. I got a response back the next day from a Starlink lead in the state where my project was at ( client was a state government) asking how she can help. I was pretty surprised and impressed.

Sourcetable | Full-Time | San Francisco, Designer + full-stack developer

Hi - we’re Sourcetable, a small team building a next-generation spreadsheet to make data accessible to everyone. Sourcetable is like Sheets/Excel, plus a lot of turnkey data infrastructure that “just works” out of the box. Users get a data warehouse and data connectors to most SaaS apps & DBs, all data streams are ~live so models and reports stay up to date, and nobody needs to write a line of code to get setup. Just some examples of how this is useful: users can build cross-channel data models (ie. Joins), users can store and compute a lot more data than traditional spreadsheets (multi-gigabit CSV files are trivial), and companies can setup and use data reporting infrastructure without hiring engineers (this is vastly underrated by Silicon Valley folk).

If you’re still reading, then you may be delighted to know that we’re hiring a designer and a full-stack engineer. The catch is that we are very picky. Oh, and you also have to be based in the Bay Area since 20%+ of our work time is IRL.

Why so picky?

Because we’re not just building a product or a codebase, we’re also creating a culture. The culture we strive to create is one of excellence: a small team of exceptional people who can do a lot with the minimum of supervision and management. This means that everyone on the team has to be able to ride the line between perfectionism and scrappiness, and be a strong hacker able to find solutions and ship product. This also means that everyone on the team has to have multi-domain experience.

The designer we are looking for, for example, needs to be at least a mid-level software engineer, putting 20% of their time into the codebase. (This will not be appealing to most designers, and that is ok.) The full-stack engineer needs to be both a senior frontend developer, great at hacking javascript, and also have backend experience and be willing to jump in where needed from time to time.

This sets a high bar for team members, but it also means the people you’ll be working with can hold a lot of problem sets in their head, do a lot, and have higher quality conversations, which makes for a more interesting workplace (and a more effective team at our stage of company).

Only half a billion ads instead of a billion. Also conveniently not mentioning any metrics, ad size, length, persistence etc.
That's a good point, but while I don't have any data, I've heard anecdotally that for services that implement paid user tiers with no advertising, they always make much more from paid users than ads, on the order of 5-10x. While there is a distribution on how much ads users are worth, it's not enough to overcome that difference _at scale_. There are a small number of users who are worth $$$$, but they're a small amount of absolute revenue because there are so few.
$8 won’t necessarily price out spam accounts. As a counter example, on Tinder there are many fake/spam accounts with premium membership.
(Just for the record, I agree completely, and nothing of what I wrote should be construed as contradicting any of that.)

We need more sites in the same vein as HN & Lobsters but dedicated to controversial and up-and-coming (and therefore heavily criticized) topics like web3, and AI. There is a huge amount of pessimism towards web3 on here, and whilst most of the criticism is valid, it would be nice to have a forum where such pessimism is not allowed. As for AI: it's getting so popular that a day doesn't go by where several AI links are not in the HN top 100.

For King and many other blue checks it's a status symbol. A way for the Lord to distinguish himself from the peasants.

King (aptly named) would be happier if it was a Veblen good that cost $100,000/mo, which he could afford, but the peasants can't.

Elon is mocking King and his status symbol by saying "fine, how about $8?", which from the King's perspective, is worse than $20 because even more peasants will have it. The Blue Check is easier to get than a Netflix subscription.

This was definitely the part that stood out to me, but it really relies on the deals they can strike.
I am the OP, and I have a DS 918+ and I have been very happy with it. But I am not a hardware expert, so I don't claim to know what hardware you should buy.

What I like about synology is the operating system/software. You can connect to it with a web browser, and it has something akin to a traditional operating system interface that lets you control all its functions.

I have found it very good as a file server for business/home office use, and as a backup target for multiple mac computers using time-machine. It also has very good online support, both from synology itself, and lots of freelance youtube/web help.

The other thing I personally really like is its "hyper backup" feature, which replicates all your NAS files (or those you choose) to the cloud, so they can be restored later.

I have also found it to be totally trouble free. I just installed the drives (they have a list of compatible ones), choose my RAID, and it has worked seamlessly for many years (I have a DS218+ as well that has worked well). It sends me emails reporting drive health, confirming backup completion, etc.
Ask HN: “Contact Us” Pricing
Hi everyone, I've been tasked with finding ballpark pricing for a dozen-item list of enterprise SaaS software. The websites for most of these packages list the price as "Contact Us," and I'd like to avoid spending the next month in sales calls.

Is there a website or service that lists cost ranges for enterprise SaaS products?

Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't know an English word for that. "Seance" is the word for an attempt (usually in a group) to talk to spirits.

I think most Americans are used to seeing the commercial-style boards with the teardrop shaped indicator, not a drinking glass, so that idiom would not translate.

Is it used as a shorthand for anything spooky? "We are doing science here, not glass-displacement!"
People who love to walk will continue to walk even when there are bikes, cars, airplanes, self driving tech, and teleportation etc, available to them. AI art does not discourage artists any more than restaurants discourage home cooks who enjoy cooking. In all of those scenarios the tech caters to people who are in need of a task done and not in desire to spend their life on the craft.

There will always be unintended consequences and some will be severe. But what is happening now is pent up demand that finally found an outlet - like a bunch of high pressure mountain water that found a hole through a cave wall and into the ocean - it is gushing.

Instead of blind fear of change, I try to see the value previously unseen and it is tremendous. As the creator in the article said she does not see her true art in the stable diffusion creations: the eyes that speak to character in each character, the poses that show confidence or query, or passion. Instead she sees images that mimic her style of drawing.

I do see how someone may choose to not become an artist for a living because AI art becomes so ubiquitous that they could never make a living with a paintbrush. BUT, with so much 80-90% of desired art generated by AI, there will now be huge demand for skilled artists who can take a generated image the rest of the way to desired results. I trust that human ambition and taste always expands past superhuman capabilities. The artists if tomorrow will have much different brushes than those of yesterday and be far better and more productive than those of yesterday. There will likely be 3D art in the real world and universes to explore in the virtual one. I’m more concerned we will and are running out of space to store our contraptions. Data storage manufacturers will be thriving.
The "memex" in various form is a classic idea many tried to implement with the best tech of the moment, BUT there is a big BUT: I can't trust modern hw, full of closed source gazillion of SLoC firmwares, with networking capabilities and normally connected everywhere. Similarly I can't trust a third party closed source OS or EVEN a FLOSS one not developed by a vast community but by few big entities centered in a country (no matter witch, mine included).

In the modern world even the most genuine and honest people can't be trusted on black boxes so such kind of memex while wonderful and potentially useful have a so big safety trade off that's a no-go for me... Personally I do not even live my smartphone near me at home since I consider it a macro-spy tool operated by someone else. I can't do much for in-car stuff since I need cars and can't live on historic one for mere comfort. But more than that is beyond personal Overton window of acceptability...

Anyway, that's a very nice implementation of a very nice idea.

It doesn’t have a particular name. It’s not a good practice per se and probably that’s why it doesn’t have (as far asI know) a concrete denomination.

It is usually better to separate CSS and JS into files to get the benefits of the browser’s cache or the CDN. But of course you have your particular constraints.

Yeah that seems pretty tricky. I'm somewhat convinced that the graph representation will work (it can represent the input correctly), but I'm not yet sure if it's actually useful or not for an algorithm to work through.
How do you declare what country you're in to get the pricing you "deserve"?

The dichotomy in popular discourse is even stronger. "I generally prefer to avoid the behavior I have typically observed of a certain race because they are different from my expectations," is also often called racist and evil. In which case, I don't care if I'm a racist by that definition.
Just use an unofficial Twitter client!

I do wonder whether their days are numbered though. I can see it going one of two ways – full ban of all third party clients, or a far more open API. Musk is so unpredictable, both would appear to fit his viewpoints on these things.

Absolutely. But where scarcity has been abused for domination and power over others, as in food or oil or money scarcity, it's not a good thing and whatever we can do to bring those systems down is, in my book, good.

If she reads it, hopefully she understands the lens of the language. Her style is good, and evidently assiduous.

Everything said remains relevant.
I really appreciate your response because it argues with my point and yet resonates with me. I think there's truth to what you're saying. Perhaps that "tradition" I'm seeking is, in a way, obsolete, and my kids are faced with an entirely different (and maybe better) problem: what to spend their time on?

I'll add one thing this made me think of: when I was a kid, my family computer and Game Boy had a fixed number of games. Getting a new game was a big deal. I took it seriously and I scraped the fun out of every game thoroughly. Once I got to college and got some money, I ended up with the "I have ten thousand Steam games and I don't feel motivated to stick with any of them" problem.

Not totally sure it's related, but I thought of that.

> With serverless compute infrastructure

Here is your problem. You are trying to build a huge application using inadequate technical building blocks.

Lambdas are super inefficient in many different ways. It is a good tool but as with every tool you do need to know how to use it. If you try to build heavy compute app in Python and then complain at your electricity bill -- that really is on you.

If your database is overloaded with hundreds of thousands of connections from your lambdas, it means it is end of the road for your lambdas. Do not put effort into scaling your database up, put effort into reducing the number of your connections and efficiency of your application.
I don't understand, were you planning to patch the CRITICAL vulnerability but now that it's only HIGH you have dropped the patch? It's nice to have a scale for these things but it also doesn't fucking matter.

You might want to include some audio (or maybe it's there and not loading in my browser) so people who try it can see what it is right away. People also don't have to wonder what happens to their audio file to check it out.
All you really need is RSS
It doesn't, you're right. But the counterpoint to that is you should be really, really sure you have correctly gotten back on track if you decide to move any significant distance. That is the number one thing wilderness rescue folks will tell you. Assuming someone knows when you're supposed to be back, it will be vastly easier to check the immediate vicinity of your planned route than to find you well off-trail in some other direction. Climbing a nearby hill for better visibility or getting on a more-traveled fire road is fine, but heading off can really slow down the search.
And status.twitterstat.us reports no incident over the past 180 days. I guess this means worldwide, but I'm not sure.

I mean, if you ask enough people, you will always have some who mistake an unrelated problem they have for Twitter's fault.

I think people just want to see problems with Twitter due to Musk's takeover.
Right - it's complicated and nuanced. Some Disney censorship is probably benign, right? This is the argument made by the crowd urging inaction.

Consider the recent example of John Cena, an actor in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, apologizing to China for calling Taiwan a country. Is that apology good, bad, or irrelevant? Probably irrelevant by itself, I'd say.

But what about China's ability to coerce John Cena into making that apology? This is more akin to the problem you might see on TikTok. Influential people that others look up to parroting Chinese propaganda, wittingly or unwittingly.

It doesn't require much imagination to see the problem. If China secretly coerced 10 famous actors to say, "the US should leave Taiwan to China," and those videos had >100 million views in the US, that could be a very successful influence operation. TikTok could be a means of distribution for that kind of thing.
It's pretty much on a steady climb upwards though. So a show today probably has more ads per half hour than one 10 years ago, 20 years ago, etc.

You're making the same point that you're replying to. The juiciest users pay, so the non-paying users are the penny pinchers that convert way less on ads, so the ad revenue is obviously very low compared to the revenue from the paid users.

Similar to how people self selected into iOS and android and to this day its way more effective to advertise to less price sensitive iOS users than Android users with cheap phones, though the effect was even larger in the early days.

I've had Twitter Blue lite for years: I use an adblocker, and I manually block every single advertisement that sneaks through by blocking the advertise's entire Twitter account. The end result is that my feed is nearly entirely organic, followed content.

Why would I pay $8/month for a materially worse experience?
I think you're missing the point. It's not about value, it's about means. $8/month could mean a lot or mean very little to your finances. That doesn't mean the person that can afford it is any more valuable to the conversation.
On the Android Twitter app, I get an ad every 4 tweets on my timeline. So "half as many ads" would make it an ad every 8 tweets.
I think the world keeps overestimating the impact of Twitter. When you are on it it feels like everyone is there, but they only have 77M users in the US and 238M worldwide. That's a tiny minority. The population at large is nowhere near as polarized as Twitter makes it seem, and very few people are actually impacted by this biased perspective.
I don’t think you could have misread this interaction more than you already have.
It's been a feature for a long time. For some reason it was removed today and now Elon has "reintroduced" it as a new feature?

yup. If you're going down the route of twitter as a civilizational platform starting to sell premium citizenship rather than the original "verify every real human being" certainly seems odd.
