It is a very cool ad for author's service - Reflame.

It'd be interesting to compare the scale at which these providers operate and see if the deploy time grew over time as the company grew.

I am wondering if Reflame would be able to achieve the same results if it had even quarter of customer base as Cloudflare or Netlify or Vercel.

The biggest limitation, and apples-to-oranges of this comparison is that it seems to me - from what I gather from the homepage - that Reflow only allows to deploy React. The bigger players listed allow all sorts of frameworks and runtimes to be deployed to their edge. I am guessing that optimizing for a one very specific configuration - React is way easier than to support many different flavors and build systems.

Lastly:

Every service tested here, except Reflame, currently uses the term "instant" to describe their preview deploys:

This is a little disingenious since you did write "Reflame deploys client-rendered React web apps instantly" in your Show HN [1] so maybe don't be hypocritical.

> Although 3 million computers get sold each year in China, people don’t pay for our software. Someday they will, though, and as long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

Not being in life threatening situations hasn't stopped cops from killing people before.

Robots are not going to solve the problem of people abusing the power they're given because they can. I'd argue that it would exacerbate it.

I don't see anything good coming from turning shooting real people into a video game for cops.
This is imperialism.

Forced inclusion in a political union is imperialism.

The fact that the Union was formed with the consent of some long-dead Scottish citizens doesn’t change the fact that this is imperialism. Does the will of the dead outweigh the will of the living?

The UK will hide behind the facade of Democracy, hoping that you forget that the point of democracy was always a means to an end (that of self-representation), and nothing could be more contrary to that right than an expectation that the Scottish people’s human rights are subject to veto by England, Wales, and North Ireland.

In the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson, people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights… to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
That was kind of my point. When a “robot” with a gun controlled by a human, is it really fundamentally different from an efficient Rube Goldberg machine that fires a gun gun.

Some commentators are saying that by removing the safety of the operator from the equation changes things. Sure, it alters the ethics, but that doesn’t change the nature of machine itself.
Dynamic typing is great for small to med projects or for prototyping but in bigger codebases it becomes quite messy trying to keep in mind what is what and can lead to logical errors or use of "bad" data.

Static typing let's compiler keep tabs on what variable can contain and you can define safe fully defined conversions between types and removes mental overhead of keeping types in mind.

Prime factorization is one of the great unsolved problems in mathematics and if you can solve it there is a million dollar prize with your name on it. There are all kinds of issues with implementing crypto safely on top of it (google “Fermat factorization”), some related to bad constants. Being well known doesn’t make the math easy.
I think in both cases, children need to feel psychologically safe confiding mistakes in parents, and neither neglected (emotionally and educationally) and unsupported, nor receive conditional love and be punished when they fail to earn achievements to their parents' satisfaction.
Heat pipes are used in CPU coolers and work on the same principle. A small amount of liquid is in the pipe, at reduced pressure, which makes heat transfer very efficient.

I suck at chemistry, but wiki clearly discusses advantages of sodium for heat transfer in nuclear reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-cooled_fast_reactor (tl;dr: safety margin from the large range of temps at which sodium is liquid; doesn't like to absorb neutrons, and isotopes aren't that problematic when it does).

When every major mobile or desktop OS update comes with compulsory interface changes, hiding some routine action, it breaks down many users’ faith in themselves to figure out how to do things on their computers or phones, making them more susceptible to tech support scams and other online malice, but especially older users who patiently wrote down the steps for important but infrequent operations.

> In the field, lethal force happens because people are forced to make snap judgements.

There are countless examples of cops killing people in situations that were not potentially harmful nor in situations where they were "forced" to make snap judgments.

Robots aren't going to fix the problem of cops abusing power or killing people with impunity simply because they can.

Turning the killing of real living civilians into a video game for cops isn't going to end well.
USAL distilled:

* The license is clear that you can anything to the licensed sources except the (re)distribution.

* With USAL, the advantages of Apache License are inherited, while the disadvantages of Apache License are avoided. (for "open source" infra startups)

So, what was the first thing on your mind when maintaining it? Python gives you plenty else to worry about besides types.
Seems way too high. A 10x valuation like this is usually for tech related businesses. MrBeast is sort of tech adjacent, producing content that leverages social media platforms, but isn’t actually a hockey-stick growthable venture (coined that word myself; also yes, hockey sticks occur in viral growth for content popularity but MrBeast has arguably already passed that phase of his content business)

The types of businesses mentioned for expansion using the invested funds don’t see that many hockey sticks. And restaurants are horribly risky and failure prone: they’re heavily influenced by fads and economic circumstances. He might very well pull it off, it’s early days in his existing efforts to talk about longevity, but it’s all risky.

Reactivating suspended Facebook account
I am posting on behalf of a Hungarian activist friend who got locked out of his Facebook account a week ago. He tried every available means to regain access — to no avail. He runs a page with tens of thousands of followers supporting teachers who are striking against low wages and unjustified retributions across Hungary. He is worried that the Hungarian government might have requested pressured Facebook to suspend his account.

Can anyone help? How can you get in touch with the relevant people?
Absolutely. That's why I specifically said reputable. Just like law firms, PI firms have ratings and public feedback. I've worked with some good ones albeit the most dull experience and quickly determined that work was not for me. They all have different levels of shady. One must find the shady shade of grey that allows them to color outside the lines but not so shady they take their clients to the cleaners.
For ADHD, externalizing thought / basically everything can really help.

Notepads and pens are always on, cheap and disposable.

I try to use writing not for cataloging information but rather thinking aloud.

This particularly applies to reading. I print, then read with a pen in my hand, marking up and jotting down thoughts.

Once I've ordered my thoughts, a markdown wiki is where all the long form writing happens.

This system works great for me.

Once I've organized and stored my thoughts, the paper can be thrown away / recycled to reduce clutter etc..

I wish I had adopted this strategy decades ago, I use to laugh at old timers who printed everything ... now I know why.

I think you’re overestimating the difference between an elite runner and the average (fit) person.

Usain Bolt is only about 15-20% faster than a decent high school runner. The difference was even less when Bolt was in high school.

A challenge for anyone who wants one, and because I’ve been pulling my hair out over this:

Make a taller-than-wide rectangle that always fills the maximum available space of the viewport without breaking aspect ratio. Inside have two elements: a square that always fills the max space while maintaining aspect ratio, and a rectangle that takes up all of whatever is left. Inside the inner square lay out 64 (or any n^2) elements as the tiles (like a chess board). No JS.

I’ve been fighting with flex and grid and aspect-ratio and getting into one of those rare moments where I feel viscerally angry. I think the main issue is aspect-ratio is a very very weak property.
"good" handwriting ranges from readable on one end to "is this printed?" on the other.

To me handwriting that looks good has the strokes parallel, spaced equally and almost all circles and curves identical.

Start slow on day 1. Repeat the same stuff on day 2 and 3. Try speeding up a bit on day 4. Then slow down again on day 5. Take a day's break and try again on day 6.

Any human skill I have acquired in my 30s has this pattern. Repeat the same thing, slow at first, speed up till you are barely comfortable without compromising on errors.

Once you hit a plateau, only then introduce more samples and more complexity. The simple stuff the brain encodes has non-linear effects on learning.

In this case, you'd have nothing incredible in week 1. The effects show in week 3-4 onwards.

Same applies here.

Ask HN: Ways to deal with Python 3.11 breaking change to asyncio
AFAICT 3.11 requires your code to call asyncio.run(), whereas earlier versions (for some definition of "earlier") required you to inject your coroutines and then call loop.run_forever().

Basically it smells to me like this is going to require two distinct main()s. This is ugly. How do I make it not butt ugly and minimize the general odor?
1.5 was released, although it was not dramatically better than 1.4 (outside of better inpainting) so it didn't get much buzz.

> So, to do proper forensic analysis, I need to physically take the servers?

Obviously.

The DNC did not allow the FBI to do that either.

> Why is crowdstrike "suspect?

Because Dmitri Alperovitch - Crowdstrike's Russia-born co-founder and former CTO - is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

Because Shawn Henry - Crowdstrike CEO - admitted in a December 2017 congressional testimony that they had found no proof that data had been exfiltrated from those DNC servers they had exclusive forensic access to.
Heck yeah! Looks really cool.

IMO, Ruby is a better general purpose "scripting" language like Python that has cleaner and more consistent features - including ones that lend themselves to functional approaches. Outside of web development it doesn't have the same appeal as Python due to the larger Python ecosystem... (many companies think they want to and will do "data science!")

Also, in my experience, Pythonistas tend to be more resistent to paradigm changes. So often I have heard, "Why would you want to do that?", or "This works fine as it is.". Not that I'm a fan of list comprehensions in Python (I think they're awkward and ugly compared to Ruby collection operations), but Python codebases I have had the displeasure of working in had lots of nested loops, mutations everywhere, copy-pasted code, and 30+ line methods. Trying to encourage single-responsibility, composability, less OOP, and more pure functions is like shoveling water uphill.

With both Ruby and Python you do need to be a bit thoughtful about unnecessary collection copies (which you would tend to favor when writing pure functions); but often you have a good sense of how large a volume of data you are handling and where copies will be particularly slow or heavy to do. When necessary, you can have an impure function that mutates input data, and at least in Ruby you can warn callers of the impending mutation by adding the ! to the function name. update_order!(order).
The points you make can be fine, even if it is content marketing. Its just useful to point it out as such since the conclusions can be affected by the marketing goal.

Presumably even if you support per seat pricing, thats not your main value add since SaaSs can quite easily implement per seat themselves.

It's bitemporal and a graph database and so on. It seems like it can cover most of the use cases of a number of other dbs. This goes into that: https://docs.xtdb.com/concepts/what-is-xtdb/

"Many databases can support various levels of "time travel" queries across transaction time (i.e. the transactional sequence of database states from the moment of database creation to its current state), however such capabilities are typically complex to use and have practical limitations. By contrast, XTDB provides an always-on capability for point-in-time querying of past transactional states and across the valid time axis."
