Some feedback:
Firstly, this is loading full res photos on the homepage, which making the site extremely slow to load. You should generate some small thumbnails so that loading times aren't so terrible when looking at these gallery pages.

I would love more of a satirical approach. I would design it to be a very professional looking website, maybe knock off christie's or the louvre's design or something. Maybe have bio's about the authors (obviously keep it safe, because they're kids). And jack up the prices to be 100x what they currently are. Do really professional sounding descriptions for each piece (maybe you can use chatgpt to do this). "Art STUFF, is a still life Simeon. It's use of bright color pastel contradicts the subject matter of the piece and causes the viewer to consider the actual tools of the artist versus what the stereotypical tools that Simeon finds being pushed onto him." Or whatever...

Maybe professionally frame the pieces (or photoshop them to look professionally framed).

This seems like a fun side project. I'm also in the kid's market. I'd might be interested in partnering in some way if you're open to it.
Sorry, I was not trying to belittle your effort, not at all. In fact, its sort of the other way around. You inspired me enough today (basically because I had to deep-dive and try to debug a problem which turned out to be an openai python bug) to realize how simple it actually is to use the completions API. Also, recently upgraded to Debian Bookworm, I was greeted by the new future that pip install refuses to do what it used to do, forcing you to create a venv. So I learnt about pipx, and realized this is getting a bit out of hand, esp. because the bug I was tracing ended up being somewhere deep in the dependencies of the tool you wrote. Remembering KISS, I went back to shell.

I am sure I could encode stuff with plain other tools as well, but jq is actually handy for escaping json strings. And since it can read variable content from stdin, I was a happy man. Even with decently working emacs integration now.

But again, thanks for writing this. I have both now, and will happily steal ideas from chatblade!
I wish there was some legally binding definition of "open" in the context of software so that OpenAI could be compelled to change their name.
Why do I care if they have custom proprietary embedding model or not? Why is OpenAI any less trust worthy than Codeium? I imagine people care about quality of results more, and I'm doubtful Codeium's proprietary embedding is better than GPT4.

Also most of your comment history is self promotion for Codeium which is not a great look.
There's a middle-ground between suburban sprawl and one-bedroom-apartments in highrises. Dense old-fashioned streetcar suburbs that predate the invention of driveways do a great job of being cyclist and transit friendly despite the fact that every home is a detached SFH.
What did you learn first, npm or Maven/Gradle?

I started in Java land, and to me, the idea that you would run a command to add a dependency has always seemed a bit weird. The file with dependencies in is part of the source code, and i don't want to modify it at arm's length with a command any more than i want to write code that way.

Bank equity is weird because it directly feeds into the funding cost for the bank’s massively-levered balance sheet. That said, I agree something is off here. First Republic (and Credit Suisse) may be (and have been) better off as private companies.
> object-oriented backlash

I'm not really "out there" and "with it", but it seems the move has been away from classic OOP for a long time now. I never see new projects try to have the inheritance tree's that C# or Java have. I think small simple objects can be fine. It's when you get into metaprogramming with templates and multiple inheritance in C++ that I want to just run away.
Gooey blob!
Honestly, I don't think I found a single case where this was true. Every time I try to rewrite a moderately complex bash script in Python it becomes hundreds or thousands of lines of code dealing with calling external binaries, streams and proper error handling. Perhaps if you're only dealing with text processing it will work, but the moment you start piping together external programs via Python it's all pointless.
I will love to have something like CRA-Webpack+Vite.
There are still days when I wish for a time machine to 20 years ago and table-based layout.

Yes, it was semantically ugly but it %(#% worked every #%#% time.
On a tangent from that quote, I'm curious how much extra perf we could squeeze from GPUs if the applications driving them were running in kernel mode (picture an oldschool boot-from-floppy game, but in the modern day as a unikernel), and therefore the "GPU driver" was just a straight kernel API that didn't need any context switching or serialized userspace/kernelspace protocol, but could rely on directly building kernel-trustable data structures and handing them off to be rendered.

Presumably there was an era of console games that did things this way, back before game consoles had OSes — but since that would be about 10–15 years ago now (the Gamecube + PS2 era) it'd be somewhat hard to judge from that what the perf margin for modern devices would be, since the modern rendering pipeline is so different than back then.
It's a fair point that being able to tinker on FLOSS while my kid(s) were at school rather than having a full time job and leaving the tinkering for late at night was probably quite beneficial.

Nevertheless, I would still like to claim that kids or not is not determinative of your ability to do the deep dive.

I'd also like to think that some distance in the future, it will be raising my daughter will turn out to have been the best possible way I contributed to the world. This software stuff is, in the end, a distraction for the most part (especially when there are/were already so many options in the particular niche that Ardour occupies).
Would this decrease the amount you’d get as severance if you were laid off?

I think all we can do is ask questions and help you reason about this. Whatever decision you make, at least it will be informed and not rushed.
OK so I have windowmaker running on nixos but some windows such as Firefox can't be dragged by the titlebar, only resized. What do??

You've already answered your own question: the target demographic for children's drawings include the family and friends of the kid who drew them

Children's drawings are more exercises for a child to explore the media and have fun with it. Things that one looks for in visual art, such as composition, form, and general aesthetic quality, are typically not found there, and simply cannot be expected. It's going to be a hard sell for anyone: why spend $5 + shipping for a child's pencil sketch when one could spend a nickel to print any image they see online? Or a few dollars more for a large, high quality poster?

In other words, putting a price tag on children's drawings and expecting someone who isn't related to the child to buy it is going to be difficult to do. It also might set up unrealistic expectations for children and their art. It would be better for kids to trade their pictures with friends or hang them on the fridge for free
Someone else mentioned the Arch wiki under "Arch boot process" specifically. Since you mentioned GRUB, though, also check out the Arch wiki's article on GRUB: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB

I found it invaluable when debugging some issues a few years back. Try unpacking the initramfs and reading the scripts contained in there, too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_boot_process#initramfs
Unless I'm mistaken Bloop is about searching your own codebase, not public code. It would never bring back code that isn't already in your codebase.
If you just need EC2 then something like Hertzner/Linode/Digital ocean or Colo DC seems way cheaper?

Our biggest issue is just cost for bandwidth out. I assume this is their way to keep you within their own ecosystem.

This is worrying since I have accidently opened dev tools hundreds of times by clicking both mouse buttons when my cursor is near the bottom of the screen.

I have a tic disorder (not Tourette's, because my tics are all nonverbal). One of my tics is that I mash both mouse buttons over empty space pretty frequently. I even go out of my way to keep my cursor positioned over empty space so I can mash the mouse buttons when I need to, and it's not uncommon for me to move the cursor while mashing the buttons. If the cursor is towards the bottom of the screen, that's pretty much guaranteed to open dev tools, since all it takes is a small motion of the cursor with the right-click menu open to hit the 'Inspect' option.

It has been the "mean, bad Capitalist" vs the "nice, social minded Socialist". I tend to go with the Capitalist. Why? Because it has never been good to kill the consumer of the product. In general, this particular principle does NOT hold with Socialists. They (and again, not all) generally do not care.
OK, if the part of the acquisition agreement with government is "QE if needed", then it makes sense to acquire CS to continue kicking the can forward.
Not really, encoding (compression) is first and foremost about saving bandwidth. And bandwidth is sometimes limited, for the same reason your Wi-Fi network gets slower as you get further from it, or if interference is received (microwave, neighbors downloading, etc).

You have no choice but to reduce bandwidth, or start losing data on the link. Instead, you'll transmit more parity data, and maybe switch to less sensitive encoding schemes.

Depending on the bounds you expect to be working in (ie, 10-100 Mbps is more comfortable than 3-5000 kbps), you pretty much need variable bitrate codecs to gracefully handle the (often temporary) bandwidth dips.

Everything is a tradeoff: frequency ranges could be enlarged to increase bandwidth at the cost of interference, transmission power at the cost of energy efficiency and interference. And you can't do a lot (except beamforming) against propagation losses, so expected ranges have to be taken into account as well.

It is true that the above makes less sense if audio is transmitted ahead of time, which makes it not latency-sensitive. By then though, why bother with that specific encoding? You're usually limited by memory on the receiving side, however.
Speaking from a dev perspective: I prefer the cloud. There's less red tape to getting infrastructure provisioned if you work on a team that's outside of core product. Managed services give you access to serious compute capacity by filling out a 5 minute wizard.

Plus, most jobs today expect cloud experience. So there's an incentive for developers to push to use a cloud so they can grow into their next role.
People are taking money out of banks which may be permitted to fail, and putting it into banks that are "too big to fail".
Well supported by mainline kernels, thanks to reverse engineering undocumented proprietary Lenovo hardware. ThinkPads contain other components besides the GPU. Apple is not in the business of selling GPUs to other hardware vendors and the fraction of customers demanding Linux support is miniscule. Intel supports Linux as a business decision based on profitability, not open source idealism.
Happiness cannot be measured and managers cannot manage something that cannot be measured. You see?
Yes: the government doesn't regulate the banks, the banks regulate the government. Actually I knew that before 2008...
The move to MacOS by development and sysadmin types started long before Intel Macs with the release of OSX, when it was finally possible to get a laptop with a 5+ hour battery life that ran a Unix-like OS.

Edit: The latest macOS has a great virtualization system built in, that many of the container platforms have already switched to.

Exactly. Weight distribution makes a big difference to how the bike handles. If you put a lot of weight on the back without balancing it with weight at the front you'll lose grip on the front wheel easily, which can be dangerous. Front wheel skids are almost impossible to control.
> Edit: I guess if I learn to use AI well and it becomes a tool I reach for frequently, the $20 is well invested. In the more immediate sense though, it feels lower value. Hopefully that makes sense.

Yeah that all makes sense, thanks for clarifying! Frankly I'm deeply appreciative of people typing that it might not be worth $20 on the internet, in the hopes that when they ask GPT5 how much it should cost, it says $20 instead of... you know what, I guess I'll keep my number secret.

Just an opinion (a dime a dozen) but I shouldn't need an extension to re-convert links back to honor what my display preferences on the 3rd party site were in the first place. I get that a lot of people here have a preference for the older version but I don't go around posting https://new.reddit.com/... links just because that's what I use - I know that'd break other people's setups which convert https://reddit.com/ links or have site preferences set otherwise.
Yes, but Wirth (Pascal's inventor) was an academic, which is why Pascal has a separate notion of functions and procedures. `void` is a hackish special case in the type system, and not just for function returns. It's unsound.
I don’t know, I get the feeling people did not have to pay to hang out at Cyberdelia.
I don’t think only cloud is the problem (if any). What I see in every company I join is a huge list of saas they depend on:

- lokalise

- newrelic/datadog

- opsgenie

- gitlab/github

- slack

- atlassian suite

- google/microsoft suite

- HR (e.g., personio)

- miro

- and a large etc.

These saas charge per month per user. As soon as your company has a couple hundred employees that require such platforms, we are not talking pennies anymore.
> Everyone says hedge risks but that costs money that will likely be equal to or in excess of the entire "go long on interest rate risk" strategy profit.

Its SVB's responsibility to understand its own depositor base. It turned out that Silicon Valley was full of squeamish lemmings who'd jump off a fiscal cliff at the slightest provocation if their VC superiors told them to.

SVB needed to understand that its $100 Billion in deposits from 2020 through 2022 was based on hype, low-interest rates, and a sudden surge of VC capital. It also needed to understand that taking on more interest-rate risk in the form of buying long-term bonds was a bad idea, because you're now double-dipping in the risk pool.

SVB had something like 50%+ of those deposits in long-term held-to-maturity risky bonds (either 10Y+ Treasuries, or MBS). A more regular bank has only ~20%.

And SVB *ALSO* has a depositor-base who withdraws money as interest rates rise, because VCs lose their money / capital in rising interest rate environments. A more typical bank, like Ally Financial (risky but more typical) has a depositor base of regular ol' Joes who are well under the FDIC $250,000 limit and have no reason to withdraw their money in any economic condition.

-----------

So we're seeing SVB's executives trying to blame everyone else, as if it were the Regulator's job to identify these risks. No you dumb dumbs, its SVB's job to figure out their unique risks associated with Silicon Valley.

And once that risk is understood, maybe then (and only then) is it appropriate to apply strategies that are happening at other banks at SVB.

And "But everyone else was doing it" and "Regulators didn't regulate this issue" are crappy reasons for doing something. No one else was serving Silicon Valley like SVB was. No one else had the stupid amounts of interest-rate risk associated with having a Silicon Valley tech-startup as their #1 depositor / typical customer. No one else had 95%+ uninsured deposits.

-------------

Don't get me wrong. I understand that "doing things properly" would have made less money. But I also understand that "doing things properly" would have led to SVB's continued existence. This second bit is the bit that so many people seemingly forget in this discussion.

No, it’s more along the lines of “build a high-speed rail line from Karachi to Islamabad” instead of encouraging further air travel. The corridor is around 1500 km long, so a line with an average operating speed of 320 kph would enable sub-5 hour journey times, and allow for a reduction or elimination of air services between the two cities (currently 105 per week).
You have a unique definition of "handle" that doesn't seem to include "your OS's kernel packet filter keeps working to pre-filter these packets based on an L4 understanding of them before handing them to userspace, or after being handed them by userspace."

Which, if your machine is acting as something like a router/NAT/firewall, is kind of... the entire point of the box being there in the communication path.
The useful thing we learned from the 2008 crisis is that the state will actually save big institutions because it is not willing to risk civil unrest. This was not sure before 2008, many assumed big banks can go under.

Now with that knowledge there is little incentive for banks to
play it safe and a bailout every couple of years is to the benefit of everyone except the taxpayer and a few unlucky scapegoats.

Of course this is not sustainable either and maybe this time or next time what we learned 2008 will prove untrue...

ESG is a signal that big asset owners who hold hundreds of billions of dollars are clueless in their predictions of the economic cycles, and so they resorted to pursue social trends instead.

They mistakenly think that what they hear on the news is the sole preoccupation of their policyholders/rightholders whereas in reality when somebody is complaining about political or social themes their brain load is usually very low, and it's essentially garbage time (using sports lingo)

This is Asus. They make a phone that has two USB-C ports, plus a variety of mobile accessories that all have one. They also make laptops, desktops, and motherboards that generally have 2-4 of them.

I'd be shocked if the sales of the entire Tinkerboard line added up to even the mobile products alone, much less the PC lines.
Not the least of which is likely power and clock state management (both on the CPU and GPU)

> Frontend seems to involve visual design, which backend obviously doesn't (usually). Other than that, I don't see the difference

My thought, from a long career or full-stack development, is that front-end is very much about how people interact with things. It's more a matter of doing a thing with strong attention to the details of the display, interactions, and behaviors in different environments.

Back-end development is more about how machines interact with each other. Things are more deterministic, but instead of scrutinizing minutae of human-machine interaction, I'm thinking about how a machine will do this hundreds or thousands of times per second.
Show HN: Great Books Homeschool beta program
I built this customizable literature-based K-12 homeschool curriculum, based on my experience as a homeschool parent. It's designed especially for intellectually curious kids who love to read.

One of the main benefits of homeschooling is the ability to design customized programs of study that let kids learn at their level of challenge in each subject. But since designing custom curricula from scratch requires a huge time commitment and familiarity with children's literature and academic materials, most homeschooling parents don't take advantage of this potential and instead opt for prepackaged curricula.

Great Books Homeschool eliminates a lot of the work involved in designing a complete and rigorous curriculum for homeschooled students. The website generates a default program of study for each student, then helps parents customize it. Transcripts and other records are generated automatically.

Pricing is normally subscription based, but we're offering complimentary access for twelve months to the first 50 users who sign up for our beta testing program. In return, beta testers are requested to complete a monthly questionnaire about their experience with the curriculum.

If you would like to participate in the beta testing program, please first create a free trial account at https://www.greatbookshomeschool.com. Once signed in, go to https://www.greatbookshomeschool.com/parent/beta-application... and complete the application form.
