We can't right now. We could have done it 15 years ago, as I remember being able to openly talk about it at work (master vs main) but everybody who agreed with me could not be bothered to take a stand. Right now I would be terminated instantly for arguing "tarball" can not be harmful, such is the environment.
Just to know... why is it called [name redacted] instead of orchestration.cloud ?

They are two very different concepts which I see very often used interchangeably. Temporal is clearly about orchestration.

The standard bressenham algorithm expects the start and end point of the line segment to be perfectly centered inside the grid. The modified version lets you put the start and end points anywhere.

For example, the standard algorithm would always generate lines that are symmetrical:

####
####

But the modified version lets you position the endpoints different, so that you'd get:

###
#####

or

##
######

etc
Temporal and its ”schedule” feature is great - it handles backfill and you can set various policies [0].

We self-host, but they have a GA cloud offering now. [1]

As long as you use js/ts, go, python, php or java that is.
For some jobs we wrap process execution - e.g running a powershell command.

Tell HN: Google penalises unrelated groups of pages for bad CWV
TLDR - fix core web vitals even on pages you don't care about for SEO, as the pages you care about can get unexpectedly penalised because of them. this changed somewhere mid-November.

We had a few low importance pages with core web vitals not really optimal, because they were not important and google wasn't expected to send any traffic there. Until mid-November, this was not an issue at all. Google didn't send any traffic to them, as expected. They didn't cause issues for anything else.

Since 11 November, Google Search Console started reporting that core web vitals need to be improved for a group of pages, which included those low-importance ones, but also our homepage! The homepage CVW were already fully optimised, but google seems to have been taking an average metric across the whole group, for reasons beyond my understanding including the homepage there. We fixed the low-importance pages a week later, submitted for revalidation, which passed on Saturday finally (the console suggests up to 28 days to revalidate).

The end result is that the site got a massive traffic boost (more than 25% increase in clicks from google per day). The low importance pages still don't get any traffic, but the homepage gets a lot more than before. There were no other changes to the site for a while, and the search console shows that 7 pages still needed optimisation last Saturday, so this is the only thing I can attribute the traffic boost to.

Conclusion: check the core web vitals in google search console even for low-importance stuff, google might be applying penalties across a group of seemingly unrelated pages now. either fix it or exclude those unoptimised pages from the index using meta tags.

1972-01-01 is better. That’s the starting point for Unix time based on UTC and thus the first properly coordinated date you can store on a Unix timestamp.
The endpoints of the lines have subpixel resolution, so although you’re only drawing whole pixels, the choice of which pixels to draw along the line may change based on the subpixel positions of the endpoints.
Also tech worker here: I don't trust any of the smart home vendors to secure either the devices or their cloud services well enough to protect me from someone being able to reach into my home and do stuff.

These days I only buy local-network-only devices (mostly Z-Wave) that I connect to a RaspberryPi-based hub, running software I control, with a remote-access component that I control (and secure) as well. At least if someone gets into my smart devices from the outside, I have no one to blame but myself.

Unfortunately, this sort of setup is just complicated enough to set up and manage that it's beyond most non-technical (or even moderately-technical) people. I really wish it was easier and more accessible.
A car going down a roadway without a driver because he got flung away from the steering wheel in a sharp turn is a lot more dangerous than a bike rolling down without a driver. They are not the same thing.
There's also no full text search on Mastodon, and no single server has access to all the posts on the federated system.
Interesting to see more potential entrants into this space. I work on OpenTitan https://opentitan.org/ which I believe will do much (indeed maybe everything) of what Cramium and Bunnie are aiming for (of course being a stealth startup hard to know what their plans actually are). We're at an advanced stage of development and being open you can take a look at our work right now https://github.com/lowRISC/OpenTitan our nightly regression dashboards demonstrate the project's maturity https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/latest/repo... and https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/summary/lat...
Just checked the logs: it used to be 2 per hour, but now it has improved to 3-5, so closer to the "every 15 m" rule. Again, not a big deal in my case and probably something that's being worked on.
> So is physical property ownership. Someone not walking up to your car and taking it from you at the end of a shotgun is a restriction placed on everyone by law. The only natural right you have to your car is whether you can keep it from everyone else by sheer force.

Good point. Property implies violence.

It's normal for bigger software companies. Getting anything "big" done, even for an experienced engineer with lots of time at the company is similarly vexing. This is exactly why some people search out startups, they're able to have a big impact very quickly.
Lovely people of HN

It gives me a lot of joy to share with you that we are doing our first PH launch for Roundup.

Roundup is a discussion forum (just like HN) for teams. It provides coworkers with space for written & meaningful threaded conversations.

In a world where we are constantly interrupted by Slack & Calendar notifications, Roundup is the Asynchronous alternative.

It makes having conversations relaxed and productive.

You can watch out the demo here http://bit.ly/3G6QCG8

It would mean the world to me if you subscribe to our launch and show your support.

Not all bike accidents involve cars. Sometimes people hit rough pavement and wipe out all by themselves, and it's quite possible to hit your head on concrete or asphalt when this happens. Humans didn't evolve to handle hitting their heads on rock-hard surfaces at high speeds; we evolved to walk around at very low speeds, and not generally fall in a way to hit our heads on things (because primitive humans were walking, not riding mechanical wheeled contraptions that kept their legs trapped).
I'll be impressed once they do that with a human brain. Before that any cryogenic stuff is just a creative way of burning money and energy.
He's not doing anything like ClearType, but for smooth animation you'd still want your end points to have more than single-pixel accuracy.

This is not really convincing argument. If and when that happens and I find it so inconvenient that it is not worth continuing I shall end my life on my own terms.

Nah. We don’t “go” anywhere after we die. This is simply propaganda invented and formulated to get people over their fear of death. It has zero basis in reality other than the fact that people want it.
Attend conferences. Give talks. Post regular updates on the larger forums. Certain types of projects, you will only attract casual users/hobbyists. Other types, you will attract people whose full time job involves whatever is being built. So what you are building and where you talk about it, has an effect on who you attract.

Until you said it, I hadn't realized just how big a factor this is. Replace Valve with nearly any other company in this space, and at least one person would have alluded to "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". Valve built SteamOS and basically monopolized PC gaming (IMO by building a better product) - yet everyone loves them. Even the die-hard FOSS people don't rage about Valve's flaws, because Valve has shown they can strive for perfect and hit good enough along the way.

I'm sure there's history I'm missing, and Valve / Steam undoubtedly has flaws. But while good will can take a long time to build, god has it helped Valve here.
I always like those as a driver. With a green it lets me know how stale the green is. And with a red it lets me know how long I have before I need to be ready for the green (e.g., do I have enough time for a sip of water while waiting?)
I'm more inclined to believe that boredom in a cryogenics facility would lead to a meeting of a head of Alcor Life Extension Foundation executive and a monkey wrench discussing the difference between expected and actual trajectory after application of force by one of the facility engineers than claims that such events never happened.
> Forget the turing test, conquering matplotlib is the real feat of machine intelligence.

> Mac Pro systems are often used for cinema and video production, and such workloads are getting more demanding as resolutions and color depths increase. And such systems not only need performance, but the also versatility and flexibility of a desktop PC, as they need to install a variety of add-in-cards, accelerators, advanced storage devices, and so on. To add these boards, a new Mac Pro would need advanced I/O, which is somewhat of a departure from Apple's SoC ideology that entails a very high level of integration.

I have always wondered: why do these industries effectively bet their industry’s computation on the whims of a company like Apple, who does what they (Apple) want when they (Apple) want and loves to shut out integrations?
Playing the devils advocate here (though, to be honest, I am very much a hosted-on-premise kind of angry old man here)..

Allowing that is a slippery slope for a cloud host.
If people can simply say "oh, someone used our credentials to do that thing that cost a lot of money" as a get-out-of-bill card..

If they were legitimately hacked, as in, the intruder did NOT simply obtain their access credentials, but actually bypassed the security system itself (hacking into the actual azure host, or exploiting a technical glitch in the azure login system) then, of course they should forgive the bill (and apologize to their customers)..

Yes, it's not necessary with justified text when using (for example) TeX.

> Coverage measurements are too easy to “game” — you can get to 100% coverage without meaningfully testing all or even most of your code

Still it's a good low bar for testing. It's easy and rises code quality. I have very good results with coverage driving colleagues to write tests. And on code review we can discuss how to make tests more useful and robust and how to decrease number of mocks, etc.
Is this avtually legitimate? I know 2 or 3 bits is nothing (qubits are the same in importance, right?) but this implies the ability to manufacture at scale and network them. For a few million, you could make a cluster able to break a lot of security.

Ask HN: How to Build Your Own (Mini) Google Street View?
Hey all, I'm pro-bono consulting with a small European economic area and found myself thinking: "There must be someone on HN who has solved this problem."

Question: With a small budget but ample manpower how would you build a small scale Google Street View to take a snapshot of the road system and infrastructure in an area?

It seems that quotes we're receiving for GPS tagged location data (500k+) are outrageous compared to the cost of buying a camera (~20-30k) and mounting it on a truck to survey the area... then building a small dashboard to have locals tag the data.

In total there are ~300km of roads to survey.

Anyone familiar with this?

Any open source tools for managing this sort of data?

Is it crazy to think we could pull this off for a fraction of the cost?

This is how we think about this too. Applications that use the cloud use a new kind of "computer" which have different characteristics than the model of a computer exposed by existing programming languages. There are some unique invariants and language constructs that cannot be implemented libraries.

The first of these unique primitives is what we call "inflight functions". You can think of `inflight` as "remote `async`". They are async functions that can be executed on a remote system (such as inside a container fleet or on a FaaS). Inflight functions can interact naturally with cloud resources around them (by simply calling `inflight` methods on the resources such as `bucket.put()`).

Interaction of inflight functions with the outside world poses a unique set of invariants. Currently inflight code can reference immutable serializable data and call `inflight` methods of resources defined outside that closure.

The compiler then analyses these interactions and inverts the control over to the resources to take care of the mechanics like wiring deployment information, synthesizing security policies and anything else that can be deduced from this high level intent.

Defining the cloud architecture of the app and being able to naturally crossing these distributed boundaries is the essence of what we call "cloud-oriented programming", and where we think a lot of the friction and pain of the cloud comes from today: every time I need to interact with "The Cloud", I leave the safety and comfort of my compiler, and I am out in the wild having to understand all the mechanics and layers involved.

Almost all existing languages/compilers take a fundamental assumption that the entire program runs inside a single machine. This is, in our view, the impedance mismatch of cloud development today. This is where we believe language innovation can dramatically reduce the cognitive load and barrier to entry for building and delivering cloud applications that fully take advantage of the cloud. Inflight functions and resources are only the first step. Think first-class support for things like defining and consuming API endpoints, writing distributed workflows, emitting metrics, raising alarms and other things you would expect from your friendly neighborhood cloud programming language.

Valve has earned my money this way. I wasn't on Steam for the longest time (among other reasons because I didn't own HW/OS combinations that could actually run things), but now I am. I'm playing even fairly recent games (Everspace, 2017) on my Dragonfly Chromebook (https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/steam-on-chromeos).
That is also my suspicion although Im not knowledgeable about the technical issues, economically and impactwise this seems insane and completely out of left field. I thought IBM or such were experimenting on 8qubit machines costing hundreds of millions.

On the other handz I think there was also a cloud offer to use one for free, like wn old university computer, getting 5 seconds of compute.

TL;DR. Bob Blaisdell's book "Chekhov Becomes Chekhov" chronicles the development of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's literary voice through the examination of his publication record and letters. The focus is on the years 1886 and 1887, during which Chekhov produced a large number of stories and published his first collection under his own name, "In the Twilight," which won him the Pushkin Prize. The book delves into the creative process of Chekhov and the enduring power of literary creativity, and includes extensive analysis and quotation of Chekhov's works. Despite being somewhat loose and loquacious in his writing style, the author's enthusiasm and fresh perspective provide valuable insight into Chekhov's genius and the mystery of his success.
