Haha, yep, indeed. I did try to bake in some throttling behavior up front, but just had to crank it up a bit now, will see how that holds. Oh yeah, and for the curious, I am running on E2 freebie in GCE, so my "scaling" limits are pretty pathetic.

As the parent comment said, and I mentioned in my reply. JavaScript was just incredibly poorly optimized/not compiled and they applied 20-30 years worth of compiler research to make it significantly faster. You also had an alliance of every hyperscaler working on the tooling for a decade plus with help from all major hardware vendors to bring the best performance out of it. One driver of LLVM was Apple and WebKit which at one point was using LLVM for its JIT compiler so many improvements figured out in that period have also already been applied to LLVM.

LLVM already has decades of research applied to it to make it produce fast code, it will be incredibly challenging to even match its performance across all the targets it supports let alone improve on it in significant ways. It would be better to spend the time building an optimization pipeline for Zig itself and being more thoughtful about what code you send to LLVM versus trying to replace it wholesale.
It's sadly ironic and self defeating that they claim they don't benefit from discrimination (even though they do but delusionally refuse to acknowledge it), yet they keep on systematically and purposefully discriminating, and idiotically voting against their own best interests, like single payer health care, forgiving student loans, funding education, raising taxes on the wealthy, and ending corporate welfare.

And for all their shrill protests about reverse discrimination and communist Democrats handing out welfare to black people for votes to keep them "on the plantation", the red states are MUCH more reliant on federal government handouts that the blue states have to pay for, BECAUSE of their "conservative" policy choices.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders have spent months promoting the myth that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes.

An Associated Press Fact Check finds it’s actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way.

Wrong on so many levels. Moral relativism of past acts cannot justify the unjustifiable. ICEs are banned in 2040 in dozens of countries. There will be no world and no air to breathe if climate change isn't solved by removing carbon from the air with haste. It is also difficult for people to admit that their lifestyles are unsustainable when they feel entitled to continue their reckless behaviors when they feel they deserve it. People cannot be allowed the choice of killing us all, so leadership requires banning certain things without a vote that are necessary for the survival of the species and of the planet. But this won't happen and the human race will go extinct because of pearl clutching and an inability to make tough choices. And so people keep doing burn-outs in their Ford Mustangs and sucking down triple cheeseburgers.

Ask HN: Following founders who have found success at an early age, and retired
I'm in the process of selling a business for a decent chunk of cash, and under 40. I'm looking forward to an early retirement.

I want to find people I can follow online who are in a similar situation in their lives. People who have sold startups or made a ton of money on some venture, are relatively young, healthy & active, and are now spending their time traveling, doing adventures, and trying to live the rest of their life in a meaningful way (whatever that means).

I'm curious as to how these startup or business 'role models' approach a new life of financial independence - my thinking is, if these individuals were able to be so successful at their work, especially at an early age, they are likely also very good at being retired at a young age.

They don't post often, but two good examples are Tom Anderson who sold myspace (https://www.instagram.com/myspacetom) and Aaron Patzer who sold Mint (https://www.instagram.com/apatzer).
Yeah, instead of just upsetting the downstream 'rebuilders', you start upsetting enterprise customers too.

mkdocs-materials is underselling itself as only a theme imo. It bundles a lot of value that mkdocs is missing out of the box as plugins and tweaks, like a good client-side search, page tags, or easy support for a lot of markdown extensions (e.g. code syntax highlighting, admonitions/callouts).

From my personal experience mkdocs+mkdocs-material is like GNU+Linux.

Your best bet is probably a Pixel with something like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS on it.

Android manufacturers suck in terms of long term support.

Samsung offers the longest support, but their phones are full of bloat. and they recently passed some ToC updates that prevent you from suing them which I find a super anti-consumer move.

If you can compromise on long term support and don’t care much about photos, the Asus Zenfone 10 is probably your best bet

I, too, have earned the hate of a few dev teams not understanding the Confluence view of the world. I have bought numerous beers in hopes of patching things over.
It varies a bit, but here are three approaches I've seen.

1. You build custom VM images that have everything you need baked in. You don't upgrade these VMs, instead you build new ones and delete the old ones.

2. You use cluster management tools like Kubernetes or Nomad and run your software as containers. You upgrade by running a new version of the container. (If you choose to manage your own nodes in the cluster, you manage them as VMs using method 1.)

3. You don't run your software on servers you manage. You use so-called "serverless" services where your software doesn't have to think too hard about the OS it's running on.

I'm optimistic that "what it could have been" is what it will eventually be. Originally there was just Apple, and their lock-in driven business model. Competitors could emulate them and still get away with it for a while, but it will get commoditized to the same level PCs are at some point.
> And even goes slower at the tasks it can do!

Curious, is that with Apple's own apps or third-party ones? Or is this specifically because of how iPad-based workflows work?

The 3rd-party apps often come with SDKs which phone home just to initialize, that's where big startup times come from usually.

My anecdata is that at one point Aspartame and/or Asesulfame K did something to my gut flora.

Now both or either one (can't say which) give me gas. And not funny gas but "this is a war crime" -gas.

Sugary drinks don't do this. Also this is how I discovered that Scandinavian Pepsi started replacing sugar partially with Aspartame. Took me a while to read the label and find out. I switched from Pepsi to Coke (still full sugar) and the issues went away.

Even though a substance is studied extensively, there might still be adverse effects that people don't attribute to it. I'm not afraid it would give me cancer but bioweapon levels of gas is something I can't live with. Sadly it's getting harder and harder to find drinks that don't have Aspartame in it...

Google is killing Firebase Dynamic Links
Lately, Google has been killing products on spree. Today I read the news (1 month old) that now Firebase Dynamic Links are also being killed. Coincidently, in my current organisation we went live with some solution based on Firebase Dynamic Links recently with some partners. And now with this news, we have already started the discussion about it's migration.

A bigger discussion is that how easy is it for Google to pull the plug, then how is one expected to rely on Google for various cloud solutions they offer. Also recently Google had shut down it's domain service. Gergely had also written a blog about it https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/google-domains-to-shut-do... .

In midst of all this chaos in Google Cloud offering, my questions are:

* Is your company concerned about these changes?
* If yes, then what is the plan of action you guys are planning?
* What are your view on this topic?
You don't have to use iCloud. You can use local storage, or any cloud provider, or SMB/CIFS.
I think you are missin the point. The typical website is so bloated that a latency of a single roundtrip is not the root cause. They may load quicker if roundtrips are faster, but that's then mainly because they make too many roundtrips.

That it makes a significant difference for HN (as in: "measurable") is because HN is so snappy in the first place.

Apart from that, being located in Europe, I agree with the other posters that claiming HN being "meh" in Europe is just nonsense. It's one of the quickest websites you can come across on this planet. Anywhere on the planet.

> there is zero Venn diagram overlap between jobs I want and employers who are as creepily obsessed with my private life as that.

I feel the same way, but employers aren't going to tell you they're digging into your personal life or why you were turned down for the job. You just get ghosted. The problem isn't limited to employers either. It could be a landlord, or a bank. Part of the problem is that you aren't allowed to know when it's happening which makes it hard to avoid.

> If you want to frame advertising as manipulation, then I suppose so. Personally I don't see it that way.

Ads can be informative, but when was last time you saw an ad that wasn't in some way manipulative? If you can't even see that it's happening, you're likely more susceptible to the effects, but even you know it's happening you're still influenced by manipulation. We all are. Ads are carefully designed to exploit flaws in our brains. Ad companies have spent massive amounts of money and research to maximize the effects, even experimenting on children to learn things like how early a child can recognize a brand.

> I'll happily wear that risk. I greatly prefer it to the alternative, which is the guaranteed suffering which results from being obsessively paranoid.

You know what the say, it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you. The examples I gave of the harms that can result from abuse of your personal data are based on things that have already happened. People might be happier if they are blissfully ignorant or can convince themselves to ignore what's going on, but I feel better if I take some simple steps to avoid potential harms and stay aware of what's happening in the world. It's pretty easy to just not buy a car that collects your location 24/7 and even easier to avoid giving that data to unnecessary apps.

There will be many lawsuits, especially if these can be litigated via 'section 1983', which appears to be applicable for state schools. [1] In these cases, attorney's fees are granted for plaintiffs that prevail, which significantly incentivizes lawyers to take on cases that have a decent chance of winning.

A plaintiff doesn't have to be able to prove its case in its initial filing: if the initial complaint isn't thrown out (which a good lawyer could likely avoid), then the plaintiff gets to go through 'discovery', where it can compel the defendant to produce relevant documents and data. In the case of affirmative action, this would include potentially damning evidence like notes from admissions meetings (if the school is foolish enough to put illegal considerations in writing), as well as detailed statistical information regarding the makeup of the applicants and admitted students.

I'm obviously an apple first dev, but even I could see that this is an obvious outcome. The iOS is phone/tablet first, and everything else is very clearly and noticeably an add on (some things closer to the "hacked on" end of the spectrum). Expecting to code on an iPad, means expecting first class desktop/laptop style interaction.

Yep, there are a few guidelines I've found on the web that would be good to cross-reference and these are good pointers, I'll look for ways to do so while trying to keep things relatively clean (I'm a backend guy so UX is always an adventure). A couple of pointers for construction I did come across are:
- https://communicrossings.com/constructing-crosswords-grid
- https://www.nytimes.com/article/submit-crossword-puzzles-the... (from NYT themselves).

> I’m guessing there are some rules about symmetry and no two-letter words that you can help users with.

Yes, and figuring out how to do the validation in a sensible way is probably my next step. I already have the encoding figured out, in fact if you examine the HTML you can see the grids as b64 binary strings, so the next step is the UX.

> Auto filling on an empty grid basically does all the work except clue writing

Sort of, having looked at a few other places that do this type of thing seriously there are other things about construction I'm not doing yet, like avoiding "CAT" and "CATS" or other substrings in general, and scoring words. I support the latter, but not on my poor E2 GCE instance (need more RAM). Clues aren't a problem I'm ready to solve yet, so I just cross-ref a nice site that has some of the historical ideas.

Everyone warns you about alcohol, but I have only had positive experiences, and in fact, wish I started drinking sooner in life. When I was going through a period of general anxiety and loneliness, I used to drink alone every weekend. It was a lot of fun and led to some of my best decisions, such as applying for a new job. Nowadays, I'm in a more stable place and only drink socially.

I feel like my mind is by default "extra sober", and drinking helps bring it to a normal level of sobriety.

> is there a way to memset the entire stack frame at the start of a function such that memcmp works as expected?

I'd argue no simply because the value of the padding bytes is always unspecified. A compiler that sees such a `memset` is (IMO) perfectly free to not zero known padding bytes since it knows their value should not matter to the program. Compilers might not currently do that but you can already see this kind of behavior in other situations - C compilers will happily throw out `memset` calls if it knows the result won't be used.

But also beyond that, it probably doesn't matter anyway because there's no way to _use_ the `struct` which won't leave the padding bytes with unspecified values. `memset` might reliably zero the padding bytes for you, but writing to the struct will randomly screw up the padding bytes depending on what the compiler feels is the best way to do things, so then you're back at `memcmp` no longer working. The only real way to make `memcmp` work is to ensure you have no padding bytes to begin with.
You paint a very weird picture of the engineers they pay to work on Gnome, the kernel, or the hundreds of other libraries used.

Md book is great! We created a Nim version to support content written with nimib (a framework to publish html pages with Nim code and its results) and it has been very useful! https://pietroppeter.github.io/nimibook/index.html

Red Hat is like the 10,000 pound gorilla in the world of Enterprise Linux, and traditionally has walked a fine line (well, mind you) in bringing open source to the table against enterprise proprietary vendors.

Other open source competitors like SUSE and Canonical have much smaller revenues, so Red Hat could be seen as having a bit more influence over Linux's overall direction (they employ a ton of devs, they have a ton of resources). Case in point, the systemd controversy.

There's also a historic argument that one cannot trust FOSS in the hands of any corporation, but we start getting into more philosophical and nearly-religious debate at that point.
