I'm the creator, happy to answer any questions!

Highlights include:
- Low memory: the files are streamed out to the client immediately
- Low CPU: the default server doesn't compress files, only packages them into a zip, so there's minimal CPU load (configurable)
- High concurrency: the two properties above allow a single small server to stream hundreds of large zips simultaneous
- Easy to host: several deployment options, including Docker images and two one-click deployers

There is sea trek, https://www.sea-trek.com/ which is for people to walk underwater in swallow depths. Not tried it, but looks interesting.
It's also not measuring rng speed, it's measuring memcpy and sort speed.

I’m very sorry to read this. I went through some similar times with my mom after a stroke. Exercise, seeing people, and helping her feel useful helped a lot with the symptoms, but convincing her to do these things wasn’t always easy.

My mom’s case wasn’t necessarily a symptom of loneliness, but I can corroborate with my own anecdata that when I feel most lonely, I’m very tired, no matter how much I sleep. My muscles will ache, even.

It does take a very real physical toll, and I have little doubt that loneliness can cause or accelerate cognitive issues. Loneliness is as genuine of a health concern as obesity and other physical issues, IMO.

Best of luck to you and your mother. You have the right attitude - it won’t be easy, but you can still make some memories and experiences with her.

I can also say from my own experiences with my mom, even when she gives outward indications of not remembering what may have happened hours ago, all the time you spend together DOES make a difference.
Of course you have these issues in other languages lol.

Not at all the same thing.

Ego-death can be brought on by yourself, with extreme introspection and seeing yourself from inside your body. The end is realizing your body is not you. This sometimes can be done by situations, but usually done in some branches of psychology, or by an occult practice.

Narcissistic collapse is when the facade of control by a narcissist is collapsed down around them forcefully, and they then have to deal with the fact they are not the center of the universe. This loss of control causes them to spiral inward, and then lash outwardly very violently. They , in almost all cases, lack the capability of addressing the causes of narcissism or the damage they cause others.
I/O is no longer the bottleneck?
Commercial directors and producers should also be held liable. We have a marketing industry which is far too ambivalent about the negative impacts they scale.
Facebook Messenger is the most used communicator in my country (Poland). Without it I would be basically disconnected from my friends and people from university/work. I'm not really happy about how dependent we are on having a Facebook account.
This article finally explained what was going on with my former friend. He was extremely narcissist (and an alcoholic), then got rejected by a woman and started lashing out at all his friends because his image of being a self-proclaimed "dominant alpha male" was shattered. I told him to get therapy then he shifted his attacks towards me instead of her.

I no longer associate with people who have drinking as a core hobby, it just exacerbates whatever emotional issues they may already have.
When you say “Modern western mind”, who exactly are you referring to ?
One of my conjectures about the future world is that emotional abuse is likely to become as taboo as physical - and at some point companies will need to check their management for such behaviours - and not just the outrageous stuff. We will start to monitor all our interactions and ... well with enough data points (second by second capture of interactions over billions of humans) then coaching / therapy becomes a medical / epidemiology problem

It's going to be a weird world, but maybe we will be better adjusted ?

Or does that sound like the ending of Serenity the movie?
> the way that tech people use "orthogonal" these days.

If you mean the sense which means “independent”, that goes beyond tech. It was used that way by a law professor in front of the Supreme Court in 2010: https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/supreme_court_word_o...

In software, its use in that way dates back at least 30 years. E.g. from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/016560... (1992):

> It is shown that most of the above concepts are orthogonal, i.e., they can be implemented independently.

At that time, its use was already reasonably well established, although apparently not well enough to omit the i.e.

Granted, but his untimely death was in part due to a positive COVID diagnosis and the organ failure that following his vocal appeal to the public about the dangers of this emerging danger:

> By the morning of Feb. 6, doctors wrote in the progress notes that Dr. Li was at risk of multiple organ failure. Several physicians we spoke to said that Dr. Li’s condition was so serious that his medical team should have at this point, or before it, considered intubating him and placed him on a ventilator — a higher level of oxygen support.
> In this case YC is a shared resource, and two accounts segwayed a thread about personal experience in an attempt to defend an unrelated issue they presented themselves.

I'm afraid I don't follow. The commenter above cited papers concerning the topic (coops/labor managed companies). You made a comment about personal experience (nonprofit politics) and then also equated it with the tragedy of the commons (which seems as if you conflated nonprofits with coops and the commons- i.e., three things that appear adverse to private profit). It seems as if you are shifting the goal posts now in a way that means we aren't going to understand each other, which is a shame.

There are a bunch of demos for the unreal engine that you can download. I wanted to try them out recently after I built my new computer but unreal engine crashes every time I launch it. Oh well.

Edit: funny, reducing my DDR5 memory speed seems to have fixed unreal engine. New platforms are fun.

~I love when I see programming languages who's first advertised features are implementable in 8 lines of rust~

Edit: ^ the above had the wrong tone. Thanks to dang for pointing it out. What I meant to express was that it's possible to accomplish a similar safety/ergonomics at the library level in rust in not too many SLOC. My personal preference is towards Rust's approach because the type system gives really powerful composable primitives which makes it possible to have the compiler check a wide range of invariants, instead of just the ones that are common/special enough to go into the language itself

(Example edited after comments from mumblemumble)

// The struct is public, but the contents are private, meaning you can't directly access the secret once it's inside the struct
pub struct Secret<T>(T);

impl<T> Secret<T> {
// The only public way to access the secret, returns a new secret
pub fn map<U>(&self, func: impl FnOnce(&T) -> U) -> Secret<U> {
Secret(func(&self.0))
}
}

impl<T: AsRef<[u8]>> PartialEq<&[u8]> for Secret<T> {
// == does the correct thing (and only works for types that would make sense (`AsRef<[u8]>`)
fn eq(&self, other: &&[u8]) -> bool {
constant_time_eq(self.0.as_ref(), other)
}
}

/* Some other file */

use secret::Secret;

// Translated from the example
fn check_mac<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(mac_secret: Secret<T>, message: &[u8], mac: &[u8]) -> bool {
// This returns a new Secret<[u8; 32]>
let computed_mac = mac_secret.map(|secret| hmac_sha_256(secret.as_ref(), message));

// This uses the `constant_time_eq` impl from above
computed_mac == mac
}

The big question is what happens when the human training set for art stops being generated? Will AI art stagnate, or will there still be enough humans making art without financial reward to continue to supply models with better data?
NPD is fairly uncommon, and people with it are generally completely immune to feedback. You could tell them they have harmed you in X way, and they will simply be unable to internalize it. 'Immune to negative feedback' is a good proxy. Where as people merely high in the narcissitic trait are more likely to behave that way, they would also eventually be able to understand that they harmed you. A narcissist would be very reluctant to go to therapy. Someone with NPD would believe at their inner most core that therapy is incompatible with their being.
It seems that the software interaction is not as nice as in the real world. I often end up fussing with the spline tools in programs to get what I want but this looks much more straigtforward.
Going to write this anonymously as someone who has went through a serious narcissistic collapse 5 months ago. All I can say is that the collapse is the only, and rare opportunity for a narcissistic to begin real change. It’s like reaching the bottom, same as when alcoholic ruins his life and only then begins to change. I felt like I reached my own bottom and there was nowhere to hide anymore. There are lower bottoms to reach but that was enough for me. I was going to therapy before the collapse but after that went even deeper. If a narcissist has enough self-awareness and a willingness to change, as painful as it is, it can be a gift in disguise. I’ll also add that narcissism is a spectrum and beyond a certain point, a full-on NPD is just incapable of change.
> But what are the moving dots in the animation? Planes, satellites?

Neither. The stations are in Japan. Imagine a line going from each of those stations to the satellite. Where this line crosses the ionoshpere that spot is what is measured. That is what you have information about. Those spots are the dots.

So you basically see the arc of the Japanese islands projected up towards each satelite which is visible from these stations. When the satelite is low on the horizon this projection seems to move fast, and when it is near the zenit it seems to move slow. This is what you are seeing with the dots.

Their location is calculated here: https://github.com/tylerni7/missile-tid/blob/main/tid/tec.py...

"Given a receiver and a satellite, where does the line between them intersect with the ionosphere?"

And then that is called here: https://github.com/tylerni7/missile-tid/blob/00c5fd25e2ab3c2...

"The locations where the signals associated with this connection penetrate the ionosphere."|
> Note I underspecified which times of yore.

You specified a time "before cities" in the US. I assume you're ignoring Native American civilizations, in which case we'd be talking about the era between the late 1500s and mid-1600s.

> I would think living in the boonies has never been easier nor safer what with all the progress, but guess not.

I'm sure it's safer than it's ever been. The risk of randomly suffering and dying is low. Does that mean it's an acceptable risk for most people? Probably not, especially if they have children.
Ask HN: Useful Casual Watch Topics
I'm looking for new topics to watch while winding down late at night. When I say useful I mean geared towards technology/career growth/some form of learning. But it can't be too heavy.

I have a backlog of algos, specific tech to watch but those you need to sit down and pay attention.

I primarily watch basic PCB design/fab videos, I try to avoid new tech like laptop reviews just because it's consumer related/already have enough devices.

Other examples too in depth, designing an 8bit CPU, it's interesting but too much to pay attention to.

On the podcast side I have a lot to pick from mostly talking about software or hardware development.

People building neat things works too, regarding robotics, navigation, homestead.

Why People Think PHP Sucks (2014)
Not directly related, but Fujufilm recently announced that one of their popular digital point and shoot cameras (X100V) will no longer be available for some time. It's been in exceptionally high demand this year and they're having trouble sourcing parts. The camera blew up on TikTok and had been pretty hard to find in stock. The X100V has digital film simulation so you can select the same 'look' that you would get with various Fujifilm 35mm films. The simulation capability isn't half bad.

Thanks!

Well, I started looking into it because there were all these mounted filesystems that I couldn't unmount, even as root. I guess I will have to look into namespaces also.
I can see this being true, but it won't be because it's good, it will just be because companies lower their production standards in the interest of saving money. There were (maybe still) lots of really crappy CG animated shows that came out as soon as the tech allowed (20 years ago). The bits I saw were much worse than anything drawn, but they were for kids shows that nobody really cared about the quality of.
Investor Howard Marks: ‘The short run is by far the least important thing’
The key to this in my view is having it be an officially "approved" option. Working at a FAANG company in the UK, I could already afford to take a 20% pay cut and work a 4 day week. I would love to do so in fact - but since that working pattern is relatively uncommon, I don't have the confidence that colleagues would respect or acknowledge it - basically I see myself spending an excessive amount of time telling people that I am not available on Friday for that meeting, and no I won't make an exception just for this week. Or, I would make an exception and get sucked into work - and now the company is getting 20% of my time for free.

If a 4-day week was more widespread, I would have more confidence in maintaining it - and on the odd occasion I have to work the extra day, I wouldn't feel so bad given the 100% pay model described here.
I thought HN had a strong libertarian bent when I joined in 2010, but I think you see more left politics than you did back then although it is neither a leftist or rightist sight in my opinion now.

Certainly you do see the Musk fans, but it's not a majority opinion. Every so often you see a wave of obnoxious political people, it was the "gender activists" until 2018 or so (like the woman who got arrested because she was obstructing the EMS in San Francisco and couldn't understand why), then there was an assault from the anti-woke and then anti-vax people, I am not seeing that now.

You see very few blockheads (cryptocurrency advocates) on HN. Blockheads to a man think HN is a hostile place to cryptocurrency and I think they're right.
Normally the market is supposed to correct these things but sadly we've created a culture that looks down on physical labour. Now there is a small group that can charge whatever they want.
Is this where they would be used with mitres?
I always dislike this line of argument, it feels unproductive.

I detest frivolous use of fossil-fuel private jets and all flights of them should absolutely be taxed to the roof and the funds used for climate mitigation.

However, if you’re a bigshot person who can have outsized influence (like POTUS or some billionaire or something) then by all means attend the relevant conferences and make an impact.

If your beef is that the conferences are not effective then that’s something we can discuss, but don’t distract by talking about the way people arrive, unless it’s to propose some kind of carbon/pollution tax in which case I wholeheartedly agree.
I’d love to hear what the inspiration for this was. Maybe just a code golf project for fun, but based on the author’s last blog post, something tells me the iceberg of inspiration runs deep.

My follow up question would be, how do you envision sharing a sheet? With someone right next to me, and with someone across the world. With or without internet access, seeing that this office suite is offline-first.
Is it a requirement, to be able to copy a design without tracing? Blueprints seem to have been the main way of storing designs for quite a while. Maybe the drawings are just as good as it gets until you have computers that really want numbers.

Think about buying a ship for example — I guess the person buying it would just specify a type of hull (or for high end stuff, go to a shipwright they specializes in a type of hull), and a couple dimensions.

As to actually doing the design, must be their experience plus conventions built on outcomes from the field — this part of the hull has to be convex, etc etc. So, trial an error, but built up over generations.
> I Also wish that popular science websites had an automated mechanism to link follow up articles so that late readers can easily follow the story from its origin to the most current publication -- this can be automated now.

Great idea! Let me work on that
I think so. It's still better at the things it was always better at, data analysis. I could be biased since it's my main language though.
Plain JS numeric code _can_ be really fast if you stick to typed arrays.

I tried the posted JS in Chrome on an aging thinkpad and each `testSort()` took as long as 125 seconds (32 seconds in Firefox). But when I replaced `Array` with `Float32Array` the runtime dropped to under 7 seconds (about 2 seconds in Firefox) -- in line with the wasm alternatives. Going further and filling an `Int32Array` with `(Math.random() * 2.0 - 1.0) * 100` (as in the AssemblyScript code) brought the Chrome runtime down to around 1.6 sec (still around 2 seconds in Firefox).
Emotional abuse happens behind closed doors and leaves no obvious evidence. It is really hard for society to deal with something like that.
A brand ambassador makes claims about something being great. If the claims are baseless then the brand ambassador is misleading people in a way that harms them. Just because the brand ambassador didn’t look into it doesn’t change anything. That’s just them being irresponsible.

A brand ambassador should be a famous face of a legit auditing practice. Anything less is accepting bullshit into the system… if the system is designed for large numbers of people to take your advice then the system should hold you accountable if the advice is wrong / poorly researched.
Look I'm no lover of Unreal or Unity and adore Godot but...

> Are there missing features? Yes, but many features in 4 are quite nice, and not too far behind UE/Unity.

Godot is about infinitely far behind from Unreal. That doesn't mean it's not useful, but Unreal is borderline research, cutting edge techniques, applied in a production engine. And Godot will continue to lag until they start putting out techniques before Unreal. Unreal has the advantage that they can just hire researchers before their papers are published.

Their business model is sane, sustainable, and pretty flexible.

I’m extremely skeptical of any non-academic discussion of narcissistic personality disorder, because in practice it gets used as a catch-all folk diagnosis for behavior we don’t like. (You can already see some sibling comments diagnosing famous CEOs with it!) The author acknowledges that “narcissistic collapse” is a term they made up with little evidence-based support, so how confident should we be that it’s a real thing at all?
What do you think of the advice that it is acceptable to use a tapered male thread in a straight female one? My guess is that if you do that, you have at best one turn of the thread helix holding them together and providing a seal (and perhaps you would be trusting in nothing more than the tape jammed between the threads if you used ten turns of it!)

Another category is Shark Bite, a simple push-on tech that is almost homeowner proof. All you need for many jobs is a cutter, some sandpaper, and the fitting: no pro tools, no torch. There are tight joist spaces the new copper crimper won't fit and overhead soldering is fraught, which you can sharkbite in 2 minutes.

Back to O-rings, I do wonder about the lifetime of the seals in there though.
