Not sure how many people shoot film here, but I could have one look at the lite version processing and say this is just an emulation, especially in the shadows. The grain is predictable unlike "real" film.

Funny that people will spend so much time, money and effort in making digital photos look like film, but refuse to shoot film. Just sad. :(

> Science eventually overwhelms any counterargument

That’s how science is supposed to work, unfortunately: the answer being right takes priority over it being prompt or cheap, in order to allow for unexpected possibilities or unforeseen sources of confusion to be exposed. That’s not a bad thing, but suggests science even in its ideal form may be the wrong tool here. (What’s the right one? I don’t know.)
You can if you want to. Nothing I tweet is important enough to bother. If it doesn't come back I just won't post any more.

Decimal floating point is fine so long as you constrain the exponent such that delta between two consecutive valid numbers can never be greater than 1 (that is, there should never be any implicit trailing zeroes). .NET Decimal type is a good example.

Your experience is wrong. Source: I'm a "European techy".
People pressured for Twitter to open. Prominent figures on live TV mentioned this as well, loud and clear.
One of the worst things about the "new Twitter" is that the "old Twitter" provided so much surplus to the world in terms of the open source work their engineers did, all the design frameworks, the neat technical blogs, the sponsored events and whimsical nature of the company. It felt very much in the original spirit of Silicon Valley. It was a fine, if slightly underperforming company who had ~infinite runway to fix things as they had billions of dollars in the bank and were roughly break-even profitable.

"New Twitter" feels like the worst version of private equity LBO capitalism. Suddenly the rationale for every decision is entirely extractive finance; load the company with debt to juice your shareholder returns, fire everyone who can't be proven to be profitable, break your leases, close your offices, kill all perks, cease all meetings of your employee affinity groups, make sure nobody is working on projects that don't have a straight-line to revenue growth, squeeze every dollar out of your users, monetize any surplus that you were previously providing while relying on inertia to keep your users through the much worse user experience.

Elon-era Twitter is basically 2000s-era Sears -- and man is it depressing that people are cheering it on.
Ha, I also got most of my initial experience the same way :) I use k8s at work now, am somewhat frustrated with it and would like to run a k8s cluster at home, but I have a hard time justifying it. I'm not sure if a pi k8s cluster would make sense for me either, although I do have enough pis laying around for a small-ish one. I've considered ordering a couple (more) r210 ii's and making a cluster, but don't know what the stack would be exactly.The beefiest machine in my home currently is an unraid server, and I run a small number of services in a docker-compose stack on a vps.

Do you find that there are functions that are unique to k8s for a selfhoster that demand a system with that kind of overhead?

Generally a lot more stuff than the average AVR, so (IIRC) you have a multi level interrupt controller, a DMA unit, more adaptable clock / power configuration, and just more of things like UARTS and ADCs (which tended to have more features) and so on[1]. It feels more like an AVR core bolted onto something nearer to the “everything and a kitchen sink” peripheral set you get with a 32 bit ARM MCU. The projects I worked on weren’t particularly super cost sensitive though, so I’m perhaps a bit isolated from the “every cent matters” level.

(Also, you’d probably just use one of those 32 bit ARM chips nowadays).

[1] I don’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the AVR range and haven’t looked at in a couple of years, so I’m sure some of the advanced stuff is available on Mega models.

I imagine that (thoughtfully) moderating a site as large as HN is no easy task, and though I'm all for more transparency, I think logs like that have the potential to open a whole can of worms and add much more burden on Dan. All of a sudden you get a bunch of HN posts that solely exist to criticize Dan's decisions which clog up the feed. If a rule is added against this it looks like even more censorship.

Lobsters [1] has mod logs, but it also has a much smaller community, and it's invite-only so there's less need for moderation in the first place.

im also not sure you can really correlate the fall of rome to a single oligarch hitman although im sure some of the HN history buffs could correct me.

the whole saga still gobsmacks me to this day. one of the wealthiest men in america tantrum-spends 44 billion dollars on a website, then goes through an agonizing six months pretending he didnt have to buy it and is eventually forced by a judge to complete the acquisition. next, said oligarch fumbles the execution so badly the company basically winds up firing everyone it can and accidentally lock themselves out of the headquarters for the weekend in the process. Eventually the man himself, Musk, desperately pleads for "anyone who writes code" to meet him in the dead of night on the tenth floor of his now empty office only to wind up with midlevel managers pledging their fidelity as the vichy scramble to find their place in the new order and various services begin to fail. Finally, mercifully, Musk is hauled back to Tesla where share prices are tumbling almost as quickly as twitter users are jumping ship, but not before unshackling a prison full of reprobates and racists to rejoin the site by un-suspending their accounts.
Well, given how frequently kernel upgrades break stuff, if what you're saying about LTS reliability is true, I suppose the only reasonable solution for regular users is to never update their kernel. Or use a distro which holds kernel releases back for months to do their own validation, like Ubuntu and Debian.
That's fine. But you have to manually write those ten lines everywhere instead of just doing processInTransaction(myCallback).

When one deletes a comment, does HN actually eventually delete it, or does it just stay in their db/files/server as "marked deleted"?

Also what about edits? Does HN keep all versions, or does it overwrite the edited comment with the new contents?
this was an awesome, non-snarky, explanatory comment. thanks for this.
It really all boils down to meaningful consent.

In my opinion, any data collection about me or my machines that occurs without my active informed consent is "spying". This is my fundamental problem with opt-out mechanisms. They do not indicate or imply that active consent was obtained.

Lundia shelving system was invented in Sweden in 1946 but is made in Finland and New Zealand at least. It is odd in that it's light, adaptable, modular, durable and timeless, all at the same time. (Usually durable things are heavy.) This is because it is actually designed with mechanics in mind and the materials are good: solid wood for the compression members, thin steel for tension members and solid wood shelves for the bending strength. The shelves are movable without tools.

Also if you're in Finland, there's a huge aftermarket so it's easy to buy and sell Lundia "ladders" and shelves etc whenever you're moving or refactoring your home. They last basically forever and you can mix and match old and new parts. And it's a mover's delight as everything disassembles into easy to carry parts.

It's a complete antithesis both to the old heavy furniture and the Ikea cardboard throwaway things. All the furniture chains are making bad adaptations of the idea. Ditch those, get the original.

And that's fine! People directly deal with math in decimal context, so we already have some expectations about how rounding etc works. So long as decimal type and its operations follow those expectations, they'll cope with it. The problem with binary is that these expectations don't translate for some of the most basic stuff.

That seems obvious. Because GNOME threw away GNOME 2, which people liked, and decided GNOME 3 would be a copy of Unity, which was supposed to be a tablet interface, and which distinguished itself only in being terrible?
Ask HN: Using Java for a web application in 2023
Hi HN,

Does anybody have experience launching a web application with Java recently as compared to more modern framework and does anyone have any feedback?

The article starts, "Nestled in the hills of Mountain View", which is worrisome, because as anyone with even a passing familiarity with Silicon Valley geography knows, Mountain View is mostly flat. And Google's Mountain View offices are located on reclaimed baylands, which are especially flat.

I wonder if the article authors were thinking of Xerox PARC's offices in Palo Alto's hills? Or the road named "Sand Hill Road" that used to have some venture capitalist offices? Other than those offices I can't think of any significant hill-based offices in Silicon Valley.
I think its far to early in the etymological lifespan of words to make that claim.

> I love the philosophy of steam deck: by default, it's an Switch-like device that hides all the non-fully compatible games in store

As a former Steam Controller user: thank fucking god. The Steam Controller was never supported properly by Valve - games would be featured on the Steam store without compatibility with the Steam Controller, and after 20 minutes of trying different community configs for a new game, you'd get something good but the on-screen prompts would always be wrong.

When you need to press right shoulder or whatever. Yes Steam Controller was revolutionary, but it took the simplicity of console gamepads and added the fun of debugging a broken windows install.
"Copy as Path" is definitely available in Win10, and probably older, just hidden under the Shift-RightClick context menu.
> If you immediately group basically harmless in-group type behaviours like these with actual devastating harm, you make yourself and your objections look silly causing people to dismiss you, and it's far harder to change behaviour after calling someone a hateful bigot, than it is to ask they tone it down because a joke made someone a little uncomfortable.

Sure, some of those things can be harmless. I agree that when calling out bad behavior you shouldn't necessarily go all the way to 100 (ofc depending on severity). The main way to gauge malice is people's reactions to a reasonable request to tone it down. Apologizing and not repeating it? Cool, that's how basically any friend group figures out where the line is drawn. Doubling down and basically saying "grow a pair"? Not ok.

There's also a difference between something like "hah, guess they were on IST" vs "typical street shitter" (using my own ethnicity as an example).

I can't answer your question, but do note that there are many who are studying this and coming to some similar conclusions. (But of course it's really hard to separate the moral panic from the real trends!)

I agree that we shouldn't just ban anything that exclude some users. I'm not as shrill as some people are about the dangers, but I do have a generally negative opinion of childhoods that are spent so online.

I have several young relatives—ages 9-22—that are heavily online. For the most part, they're the popular kids in their schools. Yet I see and hear constantly how they would never dare do things because of the pile-on potentials. Things I (a nerd who desperately wanted to be cool) would still have done.

When I was in elementary and middle school, I was definitely in the lower quartile of popularity. I was bullied occasionally, and I would sometimes dread going to school because of my social standing. BUT, I had friends at home! I had a life outside of school that I could return to after a short day of that stress. Even in school, the social pressures abated during class. If Instagram or Snapchat or TikTok existed during my school years, I would have found no refuge from the hierarchies and drama of school. The game I was "losing" between first bell and final bell would have gone 24/7.

My only saving grace would have been parents that refused to let me play the game in the first place. I think parents and schools should lean harder in this direction. Kids need to learn their social skills in small settings first, before they're exposed to literally the whole world. An awkward 11-year-old can only do so much "damage" to themselves in the limited setting of IRL. Let's get the mistakes out of the way before they're broadcast across space and time.
I think you're right on the mark there. I'm jaded and cynical enough to know what's going to hurt me and what's going to pay the bills and that's where my interest stops. 20 years of C# and 35 years of Unix now :(

Worshipping any vendor is quite frankly a bit sad.

I tend to avoid having to solve problems now. If I do it tends to go somewhere vendor neutral like python on whatever platform happens to be lying around and not annoying me at the time.

Hey muhammadusman, I'm the Meilisearch's CEO. We have a complete comparison table. Note that it represents our point of view. https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...

Both Meilisearch and Typesense are really different regarding resource consumption and performance. I would say that where Typesense would have a better indexing performance (Meilisearch has recently improved indexation speed), Meilisearch will guarantee a much faster search performance while keeping impressive relevancy.
Regarding the consumption, as Typesense is entirely on RAM and Meilisearch is using memory mapping, Meilisearch would take more disk space but less RAM.
I can't imagine thinking typescript improved human life more than Google Search
What you're saying is probably true, and also almost certainly will be false in the long run. Given art AI, etc, it's not hard to predict that this will get to the point where it would be indistinguishable.

"Embarrassing"? To whom, you or somebody else?

If it was 'embarrassing' to you, it wouldn't be a high priority for you anyway.

If it was 'embarrassing' for somebody else, why would you bother to care about that while you were chasing some goal of yours?

If you suddenly find you have a lot more time than the three days you were initially given, you could decide to make more of your life than before. But embarrassment doesn't really become a factor at all whether you decide one way or the opposite.
What an absurd statement. I don't have especially strong feelings for Google in any direction, but I can't deny that, even if Google had only done search or Maps, that alone would be a massive boon for society.
Two thoughts here:

1. If the English language needed a gender-neutral term for Latino, we could have just used "Latin", which has the triple benefit of already being an English word, already being gender neutral, and already having the desired meaning.

2. While I'm grateful for the pushback against renaming other ethnic groups without their input or consent, this is the exact same origin story as the term "Native American".
You're making assumptions. I listed facts.
Yes, children do learn that. But on the calculator, they're inputting numbers in decimal, and it's decimal internally. In programming, we input numbers in decimal, and even write them that way in source code, but the actual math is all binary - thus, there's a disconnect between the common sense expectation of what (0.1 + 0.2) ought to do, and what it actually does. Someone coming from a calculator would not expect that to be unequal to 0.3, unlike the situation with square roots.
TLDR:

C# is our real language.

F# is a thing that gets supported to the extent that unpaid volunteers do the work.

VB is in back-compat legacy support mode.
