Ah, the good old days of phone calls telling you that they were checking in, and were going to send over the "usual order", just needed a quick ok.

Similarly when I used to own a liquor store and the distributors would come in at the busiest times and say, "Oh, you're busy. Don't worry, I'll check your inventory for you, and you just have to sign off." Sign off, that is, on a huge list of stuff you don't need.
Neat.

> DriftDB is a real-time data backend that runs on the edge

What does it mean for these backends to be “on the edge”? Do geographically disperse clients connect to different backends? If so are messages synchronized between them? If so what’s the point of them being on the edge?
Swimming lessons in Australia are very common. General pool safety/ability but also beach/surf confidence. In summer, there are beach swimming programs that are very well attended. Our 4-10 yos did a week-long beach program last month, learning how to deal with waves, signal for help, swim to safety while clothed, etc. Think it was the second or third year running for the older two, who are quite competent in waves and had done multiple years of pool swimming lessons.
When I talk with my younger female trainees, I append exclamatory "..., fuck you!" to each of my phrases. Teaches them to lower their "Shock Values".
That's interesting and surprisingly long for Kevlar.

The highest altitude recorded by a single kite is less than 5km. I understand the biggest constraint for higher flights is tether strength-to-weight ratio. Nylon is typically used - fishing line.

Tether diameter is another factor as the load from wind, on the tether alone, is considerable over such lengths.
Then I don't think it's a similar reasoning to be honest.

One recognizes entity's rights based on it's similarity to the observer, the other recognizes them based on assumed consciousness level of the entity.
I actually like the point you tried to develop in this thread, because I feel most people don't question their assumptions often enough. However, you are clearly reducing complex phenomena to a single cause, incorrectly so in my opinion.

Greek city-states fought each other all the time. They definitely had a concept of "Nation", even though they would have a different name for it. All patterns you associate with Nationalism were there, including xenophobia - that's where the goddamn word was created. The rise of what we call Nationalism in modernity has its own peculiarities, including the rise of military-industrial complexes that have every incentive to weaponize it as well. But it is simply wrong to think that, for example, the issue between Ukraine and Russia can be meaningfully reduced to one or the other side "adopting nationalism". Also, it is factually incorrect to say 20 years ago Ukrainians (or inhabitants of that region) would have wanted to be ruled by Putin or Russia in general.
I think maybe they are using complexity to mean something other than instructions per second?

>The best way to counter the deluge of low effort, low accuracy claims is with a medium-effort, medium-accuracy source.

That's not an effective counter at least as far as my observation goes.

These jerks win not by backing up their asinine claims with sources. They win by diverting everyone else's energy away from debating their asinine claims to making the debate one of sources. Heck, a good chunk of the time they do it you don't even need to find other sources because they're just using junk journalism where the title says A but the article says B. If being "proven wrong" was actually detrimental to their causes they would modify their behavior.

I'm sure one of our resident link-spewers will be along shortly to disagree with me and then edit his comment five times adding subsequent links to garbage that nominally back up his assertion...

> We did try Youtube Kids at one point, but it was just 99% toy ads masquerading as authentic content.

Essentially like kids TV in the 80-90s. A lot of shows were made explicitly to sell toys, with Transformers being one of the best known. I don't know if it is still the case now.
Cranelift is not used for debug builds by default. I think that's probably a goal (although I'm not actually 100% sure about that just because I'm not dialed into what the compiler team is doing). Even the OP mentions this:

> We were able to benchmark bjorn3's cranelift codegen backend on full crates as well as on the build dependencies specifically (since they're also built for cargo check builds, and are always built without optimizations): there were no issues, and it performed impressively. It's well on its way to becoming a viable alternative to the LLVM backend for debug builds.

And the Cranelift codegen backend itself is also clear about it not being ready yet: https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift

(To be clear, I am super excited about using Cranelift for debug builds. I just want to clarify that it isn't actually used by default yet.)

Your link describes how security lockouts are probabilistic, yes, but it doesn't get into what the probability is. The article we are commenting on does try to get there, by looking at how often ending what scenarios HN users report getting locked out.

Your link is also talking about the no 2FA case, while the article is recommending 2FA with (multiple!) hardware security tokens.
Thanks! When hosted on Cloudflare, it uses their Durable Objects product. Rather than running multiple backend instances that share state, it's set up so that all users in the same "room" are connected to the same instance. The instances can then be scaled out horizontally (but Cloudflare takes care of that.)

Within a room, things are a bit more constrained. We haven't found the limit yet, and I suspect it's pretty high, but our design goal was to support on the order of dozens of users in a room, not necessarily beyond that. (Targeting e.g. a shared whiteboard use case)
Mortimer J. Adler mentions in his books... that at Saint John’s, the students were learning how to read well, and analyze arguments well. At one point in his career, he did a speaking tour, presenting at several college campuses – he was really impressed how the students from St. John's were able to analyze his arguments well, ask in-depth questions related to his material, even challenge him on some points. He has two really good books… * How to Read a Book and How To Speak How To Listen.
Ask HN: Non-resident tech workers for US companies, how're you coping?
It seems the job market is hell right now for seekers (my experience so far), and there aren't that many companies willing to hire remote globally.

How're you coping with the current market and your present employment (or lack of engagement)?
I used to love popcap games, and thought PvsZ was one of the best mobile games...

> I don’t see why artificial intelligence would get deployed in human size units

Probably because it would be easier for humans (managers) to make sense of it.

If you ask someone how many people would get this particular job done, they could probably guesstimate (and it'll be wrong), but if you ask them how many "AI Compute Units" they need, they'll have a much harder time.

That'd be my guess at least.

The actual studies are way more nuanced then that. It is actually funny to compare what actual studies, whether sociological or psychological say and what gets written on HN.
I’d argue that our current algorithms can absolutely find the right stuff for your child, its just not in their financial interest to do so. Sad stuff from capitalism, as always.
When I was a kid, I too ate in front of TV even if parents/elders told to eat on table, and not in front of a screen.

It is what kids will do.

And I myself have seen this behaviour, presently for kids upto the age of 10 years old (born around 2010), but the behaviour of newer kids born 3-4 years back is quite weird/concerning to me.
This is very interesting question that I cannot find answer on. It will be interesting to see which exactly kind of professionals lost there job.
He's not right, he's just victim blaming. It's not reasonable to expect college students who are barely adults to have to defend themselves against abusive professors who have a position of power over them.

I'm not sure it's all that different, just maybe you see more of it if you interact with JP twitter? Like artists use integrations to share their art on twitter and elsewhere, and lots of various services/games/survey-things prefer or require you to use twitter login instead of making you sign up with them directly and they use the API on their backend for various things. But that happens outside Japan too. I just wonder when and where they'll all go, and hope it's another global option instead of going back to a JP-only site... As a JP music fan it makes me happy that so many use youtube these days rather than niconico. (An idea Musk mentioned recently of promoting and auto-translating tweets from around the world is a nice one independent of everything else, my own twitter experience makes it feel much less like a hellsite just by virtue of following so many non-English speaking accounts that don't know or care about the latest dramas.)
Can you say why Spotify's recommendations are so bad? Something like what OP has made should have been relatively simple to make for Spotify for many, many years already, yet that hasn't happen. Is the whole system just rigged to only recommended a few "sponspored" artists?
>When the function was written, everyone probably knew what the adjustment factor was for and how it was determined, but years later,

Well, to be fair that adjustment factor could be refactored to use a usefully named constant, with a helpful comment.

static const int ZEN_ADJUSTMENT = 12345; //When I wrote this only myself and God knew what this value meant, now...

int AddWithAdj(int a, int b) { return a + b + ZEND_ADJUSTMENT; }
This. We use it because its included with Microsoft 365. It’s a hot pile of garbage.

Hell, I almost included Russia(!!) in my comment because even they have quite functional and non-corrupt government relative to the area of the spectrum we're talking about here.

Just because some nation doesn't turn the screws on industries you don't like as hard as you want them to doesn't make them dysfunctional and corrupt.

That would help some stuff, but it wouldn’t help with monomorphized code or macro expansion. Those two are the real killers in terms of compilation performance. And in both of those cases, most of the compilation work happens at the call site - when compiling your library.

Aqueduct was built before Flutter, it is more like a regular web server written in Dart. Serverpod is build specifically with Flutter developers in mind, making it very easy to build APIs. Serverpod will actually analyze your server code and automatically generate your client side APIs. You call a method on the server just like you would call a local method in your app.
OP must have meant it runs on Cloudflare Edge.
This is basically an impossible situation that will have to be resolved by Congress. As sympathetic as you can be to an individual patient, here we’re talking about multiple biologics being used off-label at the direction of a single doctor.

I accept the premise that he’s an expert and the drugs are working, but asking insurers to distinguish this case from any of thousands of desperate patients and less-expert doctors desperately trying to help them with millions in off-label therapy, then pillorying the insurers with bad press and lawsuits any time they get it wrong is a recipe for an accelerating climb in costs.

The problem is that back about 1900 we still thought that "natural philosophy" would help us find meaning and purpose in the universe. Then we took the universe apart and failed to find it. Moreover, we're much more capable of destroying ourselves and others, almost to the extent of that being the default.

The 21st century has a quiet moral void gnawing at it.
Firefox on Mobile supports uBlock origin, and is very nice as well.

You can just keep sticking prefixes on an instruction to get something longer, no? The processor will refuse to decode it but it's "legal" otherwise.
Some still cameras with video features also do actually lack in heat dissipation department and may really shut down because they overheat. Sometimes earlier than said 30 minute limit kicks in.

And say you use slow memory card in your otherwise capable camera... I have one here, which is allowing me to capture, depending on subject, 4-15 seconds of video. It just cant write stuff onto memory card fast enough and fills its memory buffer and then its done. With proper fast flash card, same camera runs up to 29:59 and with certain tweaks, until flash card is full.
Firefox was my go-to 3 years ago because it was just lighter than Chrome (and easier on my battery).

I still hate the fact that different browser profiles and profile switching aren't surfaced like they are in Chrome. I think it's such a major use case for modern web browsing, I find it hard to believe they aren't prioritizing it. (FWIW this isn't even supported in Safari, which I would have preferred using)

I still keep it around because I love it's download manager, but I tend to use a lot of Google services, and out of habit, I stick to Chrome.

(ps. I was an early Chrome adopter, so it's quite sticky with me)
By “on the edge”, I mean that if you’re in London and I’m in Amsterdam, and we want to exchange messages, the messages shouldn’t have to do a round-trip through Virginia, they should go through a server closer to both of us. (Of course, if I’m in SF and you’re in London, this is less of a win.)

The way it works in DriftDB is that everything is siloed into “rooms”, which are effectively broadcast channels. The room is started based on the geography of the person who first joins it (Cloudflare handles this part).

What I don't understand is how accounting has not been completely automated at this point. AI isn't even strictly needed, just arithmetic.

If you are an organisation you'll have a Google Workspace account and can administer your groups and users as one would expect from any IAM solution.

Admin's having to reset passwords with Google is still rare, because Google asks users to keep their own recovery methods.

But don't blame Google, please.

It has slowed down some on the return call - last month out of the few dozen, about half came back stating they were reconsidering the role with a few interviews and a few more than that stating it wasn't a match for them.

Which is funny as a few recruiters called in December asking what I was looking for - even weirder was the interview loop that failed to call back after we got the interview done and was in salary negotiation phase as they were wanting to chisel me down due to lack of one skill they used but I obviously had experiences all around it and parallel to it. I said fine and came down then no communication since.

I just think that everyone is all bunched up about inflation as costs have gone up across the board.. ask anyone who does the grocery shopping or eats out all the time.

It's a good time for fintech and healthcare who've had to play second tier with all the FAANG-like companies as now there is a flood of talent who have had a long need of people who have the skills and experience - and people still need to pay bills.

So hang in there, apply where you can, up your skills - remote work isn't going away immediately but workers should be aware if mgmt uses this as a way to force their will - I think most mid-managers however also see the benefit of remote and hybrid work even if the C-Suite would rather see people being micromanaged... :)
If you are an app developer using Flutter, then Serverpod is a great match. An app server is obviously a server specifically tailored to the needs of apps (e.g. as opposed to being made for the web).
Sure there is a way. In fact, there are many ways. CAC/ conversion ratio would give you the value of a quality lead.
> Speaking from experience, if you only need rudimentary L7 load balancing, then Cloudflare Workers is as good as it gets.

What would you do in Workers that you couldn't do with Load Balancing? LB handles origin health, can do traffic steering, session affinity etc included. With Workers, you'd need to take care of all that.

I see a point if the Workers do some lifting / caching / transforming etc before passing on the requests, but as a simple load balancer, the actual Load Balancing service seems a better fit.

Yes, but those 30 minute ads actually had content and you could enjoy them without the toy in hand.

You're thinking of it the wrong way, think of it as a banner ad.

If your open source project has a homepage, a fair amount of visitors, and a public list of sponsors, blockchain companies will pay for the highest tier to be on top of that list instead of going down the usual AdSense route.

From their perspective it's a link from a respectable source that reaches their target audience (those into tech) on a permanent basis that even adblocks don't block. And it only costs them up to a couple of hundreds of bucks per month, way cheaper then traditional banner ads. Doesn't matter if what you're actually building has anything to with cryptocurrencies, but of course having some touching ground works even better.
Pay.
It just makes me feel uncomfortable how many near-disasters we've had; with this one I'm also thinking about the flawed missile launch detection system that would have set off WW3 if the guy watching the screen had pushed the proverbial button.

The fact is when you are recording a good quality video you never go over a few minutes of recording. So usually it doesn't bother film makers too much.
