Ask HN: What are you using Cloudflare Workers for?
Has anyone built a full application on Cloudflare ecosystem? What's the architecture? How was your experience?
Hey, that's me!

Numbers were generated using https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/script/benc... if anyone wants to try it out too.

We already have 3.2 working internally and plan to roll it out to everyone soon.
TV and video games are also an option but as you implied you may not always have access to them.

However in what situation prior to the internet would a person be forced to be bored. Waiting at the DMV? I guess what I'm saying is it's pretty rare that someone wouldn't have an escape from bordem, even before phones.
My work is also trying to force this crap.

The only reason I haven't moved yet is that I'm hoping to get redundancy at some point, which will be a great help for stability as I've worked here for 12 years. If I start somewhere fresh on my own initiative I will have a probation period and if I don't make it I get nothing.

But my remaining motivation is below zero now. We've shown we can work from home just as effectively and my team is international anyway. I'm not going to run into them in the hallway even if I am at the office.

At the same time we no longer have fixed desks and we have this ridiculously unusable system called planon to reserve desks. So I feel really unwanted at the office anyway.
Very true, but HN has a hard limit on how much time I will spend here. A few stories on the main page plus sometimes comments, and that's it for the day. Social media is designed to eliminate that limit, I used to be able to spend an entire day scrolling Twitter.
A centralized monopoly on financial power hasn't been around since Nixon's days, if not prior. Once we left the gold standard and the Eurodollar market came about with unregulated cashless reserveless systems operating outside of the US responsible for more creation of credit (aka "money") than happens inside the US, the Federal Reserve has been demoted to puppetmaster in chief for a puppet show that keeps the plebs from panicking at the though that nobody is actually remotely in control of the monetary system, and that instability has been and will be doing nothing but grow as time goes on.

The fun part is, they keep taking tips on how to manage a crisis from a country that has been in a state of financial crisis for the better part of 30 years -- Japan. You'd think after decades of dozens of rounds of QE and actually seeing their currency DEFLATE they'd take a hint that maybe it's time to rethink how we actually think about and approach the monetary system, but I'm sure not holding my breath at this point.
I think they're referring to it being Turing complete, which is unlikely for Campaign for North Africa (although this is the first I've heard of that game, so), and they actually do qualify their assertion with "computationally complex":

> His team has measured the computational complexity of the game for the first time by encoding it in a way that can be played by a computer or Turing machine. “This construction establishes that Magic: The Gathering is the most computationally complex real-world game known in the literature,” they say.

Anyway, I'm certainly glad that Technology Review has stumbled upon this groundbreaking achievement that we've known since 2019: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828 and reported here repeatedly: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=gathering+turing

> I wonder how profitable mining Bitcoin is these days at any scale.

It boils down to a function of Capex and Opex.

Today though it is a bit more complicated. Given that the bitcoin price goes in cycles, it is less about the current profitability and more about the ability to weather bear cycles. Miners now will hold as much as possible and then take profits when the prices go up again. Sometimes, they borrow against their existing holdings to buy more hardware.

During bear cycles it is far more risky to setup a new mining operation, especially when presented with the ability to just market buy BTC in large enough quantities to not affect price.

To answer your question though, it makes almost no sense to start a mining operation these days. You're competing with much larger players who have much deeper pockets. If you're doing just a small operation, the difficulty adjustments will hurt you more than a larger player who's lighting up thousands of machines at a time.
Also the site works perfectly under Dillo/Lynx.
That would cut down on some of the concentrated SEO spam centers but I think you'd still be fighting an endless battle with more distributed SEO spam sites that are more focused on one point.
Doesn't credit score also incorporate depth of payment (not sure if that's the term, but a history of paying back a large debt)? A financial adviser once told me, when I was three years out of university and had finished paying off my student loans, that my credit score was good (I'd paid off minimal bills ontime on credit cards for years and paid off a used car and student loans) but not deep - I'd never taken on a mortgage or any other high five-digit or six-digit debts.

So, though I'd been responsible for a long time, it didn't count like it would have if I'd engaged in a lot more borrowing. Problem was, I valued being debt-free sooner for the flexibility it gave me.

After all, look at the etymology of mortgage - mort gage (old French), literally "death pledge". Thanks, but I prefer life without that kind of constraint.

And if one is born into generational poverty, in a place highly dependent on government intervention, its probably really hard to access the mindset and opportunities for education and entrepreneurial examples that could start to break the poverty trend.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/881472/worldwide-bitcoin...

40% of latest value (November) would be 116×.4=46 TWh ("estimated") or 78×.4=31 TWh ("minimum"). USA uses 4223 TWh per year (Wikipedia "Electricity sector of the United States", 2018), so Bitcoin uses around 1% of the USA's electricity per year (1.09%, or 0.73% for the minimum value).

The lower value is truly a minimum of minimum, as I understand it, because (1) not everyone will have been unplugged, and (2) the source "minimum TWh" value makes unlikely assumptions about the efficiency of every miner (latest equipment, no overhead).

At "7.09 × 10⁻⁴ metric tons CO2/kWh" in the USA https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-ca... (709 grams per kWh; 2019) this seems to come out between 22 and 32 million tonnes of CO2 per year, and iirc the average first-world person uses just over ten tons (ten thousand kilograms) per year so this is the equivalent of having an extra 2.2–3.2 million rich people on the planet (just the USA consumption, not Bitcoin's consumption elsewhere or other PoW currencies').

What GP is saying is that death penalty and life sentences don't incentivize society for rehabilitation. The implications here is that if society was faced with the fact that they have 25 years to fix the person, that's a much greater incentive for rehabilitation than death or life.
Isn’t that the model of TypeScript though? If your code ever brings in data from an outside source, somewhere in it you’re saying, “trust me, it’s typed as X.”

Though now I’m doubting myself because maybe it’s possible to use complex enough assertion functions to really prove that. But even if you don’t, it’s still an incredibly useful language. You’re basically saying, if X is true then the rest of this program should fit together like so.”
I found ChatGPT pretty good at looking up stuff when I don't know where it is documented.

Eg. asking it what the name of some constant or parameter is. Much faster than trying to dig through Apple's confusing mess of documentation, and faster than Google.

It does tend to give incorrect answers a lot, so I use it only for stuff where I can quickly check if the answer is correct.
> Can you give an example of what you use NixOS for that can't be easily replaced by like... `brew install ...`?

Sure. At work I needed access to the office VPN. I copied a snippet into a single configuration file and everything just worked. It installed the necessary executables, and set up the needed services including the config files for these services.

How is it any different where you came from? Once you become a teenager the gangs and predatory "adults" start closing in on you to either join/serve or be an outsider they abuse for amusement.

I say this from similar situation as you but I was 16. Much easier since I could legally work in restaurants (which is what I did). I have no idea how you would make it without the ability to work. I'm not saying that I want anyone to go through what I or you did. However it was blindingly clear to me even as a child that staying was equal to dying. I don't see how these people stay in these places having been there myself.

You don’t publish because basically anything can be proven at n=15. I could probably go perform another study right now at n=15 and if I chose my variables right I could determine that social media has no effect whatsoever. And as much as you or I know not to read too much into this one study, there are plenty more people who won’t read too closely or carefully.

I didn’t know what grackles were, so I did a quick Google search and encountered my avian nemeses!

These bastards are such a nuisance that they’ve made me fear birds. During their nesting season they’ll repeatedly dive bomb innocent walkers-by and threaten to peck at their ears.

Any tips to appease these fascists of the sky would be appreciated.
I live in the Oakland hills so our living room is at the height where birds fly.

Over the last 5 years I've realized that there are a pair of crows which essentially own the airspace above our house and in front of it.

Each time a hawk or owl or crane flies into this airspace, it will be hounded by these 2 crows. And it happens pretty often.

(One of the crows only has 1 leg - that's why I know its the same 2 each time. We've named him Blackbeard.)

I imagine there is so much of nature we just blindly miss.
I think he meant he read the conclusion or just the data.

Still, when I see this line it's like a protection from from being wrong.

"I'm not an expert but...." basically prevents judgement since they qualified their statement
I love this. Thank you for sharing. I’ve always found crows and ravens to be majestic birds, even with the reputations they have. Thank you for being kind to them.
Sure but we need numbers, how much more expensive is it, is it 1%, 10% or 100%. Because just saying "more" is compatible with the energy being 0.000001% more expensive. So your comment in not really saying anything.

Computationally complex; "Churchill and co’s key result is that determining the outcome of a game of Magic is non-computable," making the claim that Magic is the first "undecidable real game" to exist.

From the study: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828

> This paper completes the project started by Churchill [4] and continued by Churchill et al. [5] of embedding a universal Turing machine in Magic: The Gathering such that determining the outcome of the game is equivalent to determining the halting of the Turing machine. This is the first result showing that there exists a real-world game for which determining
the winning strategy is non-computable, answering an open question of Demaine and Hearn [10] and Auger and Teytaud [1] in the positive. This result, combined with Rice’s Theorem [13], also answers an open problem from Esche [11] in the negative by showing that the equivalence of two strategies for playing Magic is undecidable.

> This result raises important foundational questions about the nature of a game itself. As we have already discussed, the leading formal theory of games holds that this construction is unreasonable, if not impossible, and so a reconsideration of those assumptions is called for. In section V-A we discuss additional foundational assumptions of Constraint Logic that
Magic: The Gathering violates, and present our interpretation of the implications for a unified theory of games.

Sure. That US support isn’t actually infinite is something Ukraine will have to account for. But it is something that we should handle with them behind closed doors.
By the same logic nothing requires explanation. Everything is just different, or everything is just the way it is.

I think your question is still interesting, so let me ask you: When does a phenomenon require an explanation in your opinion?
Quoting my own previous comment on the paper,

> If I did the math right, the odds of hitting the opening hand you want is 0.00004%. Give or take a mulligan and maybe being able to get the combo off on turn two or three I think that's high enough odds that one could conceivably eventually succeed (assuming they can find opponents for years and years).

Just realized something while reading the article, about “spaced repetition”.

For a while now I had the impression of not learning anything new and also of loosing the interest of doing so. It sort of came back to me as I am in a sabbatical period now, which gave me some mental clarity and also more space-time to think about things more thoroughly.

But, here’s the thing: I have never stopped learning new things. I have been checking HN for many years, and been reading daily SW news for the past 20 years. Many things come to my attention in different shapes and they build up in abstraction and in my memory/understanding to a wider and wider scale. Flash cards that I’d manage and check regularly would have not had the same effect as constantly checking my existing knowledge against random new areas of reality.

I am happy about realizing this, as it’s somehow difficult for me to understand my actual place in the SW industry.

EVs are, in their current form, still a nightmare. Extremely cold intolerant, battery chemistry is less than amazing (tho that is hopefully changing soon), etc etc.

I really don’t see why more hybrids haven’t been done and more effort put into them. I adore my Volt and will not go pure EV anytime remotely soon for a variety of reasons.

I’m not going to own two vehicles just so I can travel easier and I’m not going to rapidly kill my EVs batteries by raping them with insane amperage charging to get remotely close to fill up times on a gas/diesel vehicle.

It is a misnomer that it matters where the hashrate is on the planet. What matters is the amount of control any single entity has.

Even in China, it was individuals setting up mining rigs, not some giant government conspiracy to control all the hashrate.
+1 for what grepLeigh has said. CBT is a huge help.

> Can you stop thinking about something only by wanting to?

Absolutely, yes. If I catch myself in a death spiral of thoughts, I can literally tell myself "no, that's enough, I'm done with this" and do something else instead. It takes introspection, acceptance, understanding, compassion (for yourself and the subjects of your thoughts), therapy, and practice. Meditation can also help.

There's no single piece of advice I can give because it was a lengthy and painful process, but maybe it's enough to say that yes, it's possible to learn, because it's something I had to learn and I managed to figure it out.
It's often known as Server-Driven UI.

It's basically a generalization of Server-Side rendering.

I'm interested in knowing the limitations of that approach besides the connectivity requirement.

Are complex data-based interactions easily implementable?
It's all short sighted given what we already know about the future. We know that these models will soon and continuously be more complex. We know they will only trend toward greater accuracy.

Computer engineers won't be impressed with the output for some time. Front end devs like me just got an amazing search tool. I work faster now. I told my boss I work faster now. No going back.

Understand, it's now faster for me to ask ChatGPT to find an answer and then Google to confirm it than it is for me to only google things. For me the AI revolution already came and will only be getting better.

With design and process know-how I'm not really worried about losing my job. AIs will eventually be able to make ad hoc decisions about people's brand identity. But not anytime soon.
Some combination/variation from command line of grep/sed/awk script(s) using regular expressions & local file(s)/db containing relevant dataset(s) to search.

Pearl / python / ruby / go / lisp shell etc. make for easier paring with gui & on-line use of public domain datasets (vs. downloading dataset file/db)
I think he must mean in an economic or social capacity. An individual worker, alone, has essentially zero meaningful leverage compared to the CEO/queen. So sterility here means autonomy or agency or power.
Because it's too easy now. You need a creative endeavor to seem like an easy way to replace boredom with novelty. For a lot of folks especially younger ones, there is already infinite novelty just waiting to be scrolled all the time in their pocket. No need to do anything except wave your thumb around.
Kind of a bummer on that. There is definitely a shift going on as folks move out of riskier assets to assets with guaranteed returns. How bad will it get, who knows.

The biggest issue I see is that startups failed to build self sufficiency and over spent. For example, deep discounts. Uber and Lyft could outspend on discounts lowering the price of a cab. However it’s not like cabbies we’re high income, so really the we’re competing with cities selling medallions. Nyc, sf, Chicago were great markets, the rest of the low density us(especially without a cab market) probably not so much. They kept spending to support the growth, and once the incentives are removed we can see the actual market share captured, and the actual return in investment.

I don’t think investors would have supported the growth first strategy as much as the did without low interest rates.

Could you share that Nix VPN config file example please?
Yes. Testing it. :) How else would you find out? It depends on so many factors. Nearby radars, placement inside the home, sensitivity etc.

The only thing you can do in advance is check for radar transmitters in the 5-6Ghz range nearby. Be aware that these are usually in a pretty specific frequency, affecting only a few channels.

It's an earnest question. I don't see it as worth enough to alter the conclusion.

It explains their defense, but it certainly doesn't excuse it.
however there's some pretty stark differences. Sport is inherently physically healthy, and working in a soup kitchen or doing some other charitable work has positive social effects. Much social media usage, despite the name, isn't very social at all.

After a game of soccer with your friends you probably feel better both physically and mentally than after scrolling through twitter. The latter is more like reality tv combined with the worst news channel available.
I'm not sure if this was asked in earnest, but you could look into the recent Canadian laws around preferred pronoun use, applications and enforcement in universities there, as an example. Googling "compelled speech 2022" will yield many articles worth reading for further examples.
