> The crux of the problem: How do you solve misdirected read/write I/O? Where the firmware writes/reads to/from the wrong disk sector (but with a valid checksum)?

Can't you make the expected location of the data part of the checksum?

Concretely,

- switch from checksums to hashes

- use something like Blake3 as keyed hash with the WAL offset as key.

Now, you can't accidentally read WAL block #5 instead of #7, as it's recorded hash won't match H(data, key=7).

Similar more old school technique: storing the expected role & id of a block inside the block can make storage more robust.
You're the only one making the absurd terrorist analogy. Reposting a person's content in another context with a whole crowd of people specifically there to mock and humiliate that person, many of whom will then go out of their way to personally harass that person, definitely counts as "targeting."
Can't resist that challenge :-)

You are wrong. Noone would assume YYYY-MM-DD would be YYYY-DD-MM. Why would they? Biggest, smaller, smallest unit. After that comes the time with Hour, Minute, Second. Again Biggest, smaller, smallest unit.
I worked for an engineering services company that had a client in India. It made no sense to me: India is such a big hub for outsourcing talent at much lower cost, so why wouldn't they stay local?

It turned out that US engineering talent was considered to be higher caliber, and being able to say that their product was developed in the USA gave them more access to Indian investors.

Who'd a thunk it?
> It is a dialect, written form is German.

Both things are wrong. It's not a dialect in the sense that it is not the same language with special intonation, some new words and new idiomatic sentences. It has its own (much simpler) conjugation and declension scheme. Much closer in feel to a creole.

Its written form is also not german. Good luck reading some of the züri by mike comic strips as a german reader.

That's more than I expected.

They are the same. You said it yourself: STEALING
You’re worth what someone is willing to pay you.
If they're directly employed by the government, that's one thing. Nonprofit sector is another thing entirely, with generally poorer pay and benefits.
Corporations aren't people and if you bad mouth the company, especially in a way that gets press attention, someone in HR will put a mark on your record. Either a no hire, or a "requires executive approval", neither is helpful in future job applications. That said I didn't realize this was apparently a VP position, and execs live in their own consequence free world.
Can you elaborate? I've found it a delight.
No, no you can't! When the admin borks the server that holds your data, it's just gone.
Cool, find another forum that handles it outside of those accepted norms. Thus forum does not have to give alternative views placement. With politics it's especially bad because people can't separate their feelings from the discussion.

And, I believe, this is the way it should be. I don't want one forum for everything. I don't want those identities associated.

At a guess, it at least doesn’t discourage developers from working on the emulators in the first place.
Looks promising, and also has the same issue as ComfyUI: the tweakables are located on the nodes. Good node-based editors often separate all or most tweakables into a side panel to unclutter the schematic - consider doing that as well.
Loved Spirograph but never understood why the included pens didn't come with caps. They were always dried out. If that happened today, I'd think it was to get you to have to buy refills, but I don't remember ever seeing replacement Spirograph pens back then. Once we got a home computer hooked up to a tv that would create moire patterns with NTSC artifacts, my Spirograph days were over.
But consider that there is Stubhub and there is the shell company intermediary. Now Stubhub recognizes $1 from the buyer and $1 from the seller for the first transaction, and again $1 from the buyer and $1 from the seller for the second transaction.

This smells like an accounting trick to boost published revenue numbers, and seems plausible given that Stubhub announced they were on IPO track last year.
Ask HN: SICP equivalent for distributed system design
SICP is a good textbook for intermediatte (or advanced) students to learn about computer programming IMO.

Wondering if there is a equivalent for design and implementation of distributed systems.
People take the train in NL like they take the bus in major cities in France

Could you please elaborate? (I am not sure I understood your comment)

In France we do take trains on a regular basis, especially in major cities (the NL population is 17M, the paris region is 12M and largely crossed with trains)
I don't quite get this argument. I can kind of see it, but isn't the total cost of the property the same whether or not it's sold to an end buyer or purpose built as a rental?

For example, if you have 2 condos that worth $100k, an end buyer pays $105k after GST and a corporation building a rental pays $105k. I don't see how that's unfair unless the corporation is looking for a sneaky way to have the government subsidizing their business.

How would that be fair to me if I was the end buyer purchasing a condo as a rental property? Should I get a rebate for the GST to keep it fair?

That said, I think there should be a total ban on corporate owned residential property. Eventually we'll all be renting from private equity firms if we let the current trends continue.

My washing machine broke the other day and I had to stop by a laundromat. Someone had left a copy of "Slowness" on the table there, so I spent the time doing my laundry reading it. Hadn't even heard of it before, but it is definitely my favorite Kundera novel. A short but incredible read. Sad to see he is no longer with us.
As far as the "meme" of the two movies being together, I think it's the "battle of the sexes" turned on its head. Barbie looks feminine and colorful, full of fantasy, and Oppenheimer looks cold and stark, with the masculine and realist elements of wartime - watching both the movies together would be a blissful whiplash between extremes. It's produced a lot of funny content including that fake trailer that implies Barbie constructed Los Alamos and created the weapon, which made me laugh my head off. People just want to be silly and enjoy something.
Are you using a very dense resolution? I've turned off anti-aliasing, but if you scale your monitor to be more dense than natural resolutions it will appear quite odd. At "normal" resolutions it looks fine. I could turn aliasing back on at the cost of a bit of visual niceness for most.

Some people are always looking to pick fights and create drama (they can be gay, straight, whatever) and employers screen for this personality type.

How does SQLite fare against PostgreSQL for this particular use case?
Lucene (what Elasticsearch and Solr use) are based on inverted indexes which is what the GIN in the article also uses.

So the benefits of ES/etc are being able to scale horizontally scale across nodes or any additional features it adds on top of the main index.
If you have secrets at all, don't send them through any ActivityPub conversation.

People on Mastodon make this mistake quite often, tagging someone they're talking about, or realising that the person they tagged now receives a copy of their conversation.

This is a massive issue on top of the lack of end to end encryption. Both servers receive plaintext copies of the messages exchanged. I'm sure mastohub.ai is a safe server, but how can you be sure they'll never be bought out or hacked?

If you want to federate and share secrets, try something like Matrix or XMPP. They make it significantly more difficult to read your messages.
Mobx as your ViewModel/Model selector implementation is precisely where it belongs in your stack. You just need to be disciplined and not build your whole state/update loop on it. Sadly, I'm stuck on v4.5.x at work, and my big complaint is arrays not being a first-class observable.
The site guidelines ask you to "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

If the study was DoD funded, that's a great piece of information to share—but please do so via a comment in the thread. Title fields are not supposed to be for sharing the details that the submitter considers important. (Other social news sites work that way, but HN intentionally doesn't.)

And this is typically how conditionals work in SolidJS, which also uses JSX but adds extra core components to handle conditionals and iteration. In fairness, this is largely because they can better support the reactivity model that SolidJS uses, but it's a convenient side effect.

> As long as some platform is capable and powerful for many things, there will be malware.

Android != GNU/Linux. iOS != MacOS. GNU/Linux, Mac, Windows are far more capable and powerful that mobile platform and therefore far more susceptible to malware. Plenty of Linux-based servers are hacked every day, plenty of scanning bots are targeting Linux-based software vulnerabilities over the internet.
Claiming control over information that you’ve made publicly available is nothing but claiming control over other people.
It’s great for quickly adding interactivity to any static HTML element.

You can turn any element into an “Alpine component” simply by adding the x-data attribute.

Imagine a drop-down menu like so:

<div>
<button>Toggle menu</button>
<div>
Menu item 1…
Menu item 2…
etc…
</div>
</div>

Without JS, everything would be visible at all times.

You’d make this reactive with Alpine like this:

<div x-data=“menuVisible = false”>
<button @click=“menuVisible = !menuVisible”>Toggle menu</button>
<div x-cloak x-show=“menuVisible” x-transition @click.outside=“menuVisible = false”>
Menu item 1…
Menu item 2…
etc…
</div>
</div>

When the button is clicked, the menu opens (or closes). x-transition adds a smooth fade effect, @click.outside hides the menu when clicked away from the element, and x-cloak prevents it from appearing before the DOM has fully loaded.

Those are just a few of the most common Alpine directives. It doesn’t try to do everything, just the basics simply and efficiently.

I use it for most projects now.
Aren't biopics usually about people from the past? How is that unusual?
There were many obviously lucrative paths Reddit could have taken. They have incredible amounts of data on users who self-select their own interests. They were making money selling subscriptions even. They could have monetized all sorts of things in non-annoying ways, like secret santa (pay to verify users or have direct anonymous shipping?), subreddit sponsorships (want to own /r/steam, Valve pays for it), etc.

Instead they wanted to be Facebook Jr, killed all of their interesting and niche aspects, ignored the things users and mods were asking for, and hamfisted general ads in people's faces while adding expensive, unneeded (unwanted!) features like live chat and video hosting.

Reddit is an example of what happens when you put people in charge of a business who are both greedy and stupid.
That's definitely the case at my company. To get to the same pay grade that even mediocre managers get promoted to by default, an IC basically has to walk on water.
Why do I see so much discussion about SQLite on HN? I've literally never seen it used in production, my usage of it is purely as a database for local testing
(disclaimer: author of the post)

I plan a follow up to compare it with Elasticsearch, however, I don't think I'm going to attempt benchmarking, because whatever realistic scenario I come up with, it will not necessarily be relevant to your use case.

I mostly agree with you and I probably wouldn't use this at large scale (say, more than a few million records). I was primarily interested how much of the functionality I can replicate. Because for small search use cases this has some clear advantages: less infra to maintain, strong consistency, joins, etc.

Also, at Xata we're thinking about having a smooth transition between using Postgres at small scale, then migrating to use Elasticsearch with minimal breaking changes.
I think it's something beyond just this. Inflation, especially how it's being used today, increasingly feels like a metric almost as pointless as GDP. Because what people, laymen and expert alike, refer to when they speak of inflation is all driven by a focus on what really matters - prices. Obviously the rate of change of prices, inflation, is extremely important but only as a means of gaining insight into the prices themselves.

But now inflation is being considered as a metric of priority, by itself - which distorts its purpose (akin to what happened to GDP). And we're in a perfect illustration of why. Prices have dramatically increased, but now that they're continuing to increase beyond this at a rate of change is "only" 50% higher than the desired rate of change the Fed was aiming for, back when prices were lower, you have some people ready to unfurl "Mission Accomplished" banners. Clearly, the metric has become more important than the meaning, again like GDP.

Gallup maintains an active economic impressions survey here [1], and currently we're at lows matched only during the housing market crash in terms of economic confidence. And I've no doubt this is playing into it. From the perspective of people continuing to pay intolerably high prices for effectively everything, seeing economists cheer about this is going to look alot like the 'this is fine' meme to basically everybody on the outside.

There's a decent argument to be made that there's a qualitative difference between a 100+-year-old institution and a mid-2010s local brewery of which there are, as you point out, untold similar ones all over the country.

Of course Anchor didn't exactly maintain its own "soul" on the way down to this end, selling to larger owners and eventually foreign ownership, and more recently abandoning their old logos and packaging. So it's not totally playing fair hearkening back to their proud history and all that.
??/??/YYYY is ambiguous because ~3 billion people use DD/MM/YYYY whereas the US uses MM/DD/YYYY. Nobody (or very few) uses YYYY-DD-MM, so YYYY-MM-DD won't be confused with it.

Could say that there's still a small amount of ambiguity, but it's definitely not "as ambiguous as" ??/??/YYYY.

> unless you’re a tech persona with precursor knowledge of date formats

YYYY-MM-DD is the standard for billions of people. You don't need to be a tech persona to either use it or to understand the reasons for it (lack of ambiguity, consistency with other numbers).

For people wanting to get a feel about what happened in The Netherlands in WWII and with the resistance, there are two movies that are quite good.

The Forgotten Battle (2020) is about a few soldiers on their way to Arnhem, but their plane goes down over Zeeland. They get in contact with German soldiers and also with people from the resistance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forgotten_Battle

Blackbook (2006) is about two young Dutch women who are friends. One is in bed with a German, the other is part of the resistance.

Or just use PDF where it will look nearly identical everywhere, even in print.

Not everybody has time to test multiple browsers to make sure content actually looks good across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, plus their mobile counterparts. Oh, and make a nice looking PDF on top of that.

PDF is perfectly fine for distributing a paper. In fact, I’d say it is the preferred means for most people.

If managers are paid more you're putting a price on how much someone has to dislike managing people or prefer spending their time ICing for someone else. I don't think many people will pay much (in opportunity cost) for that.

And probably more significant than the initial bump for many is when they're looking for the next job elsewhere, and can say 'led a team of x many' vs. not.

Seems to me the 18 tokens per second from [1] is the throughput and includes the batch size, so I don't think they misread the Deepspeed inference paper. So the chiplet ASIC supercomputer paper would seem to show a decent performance/TCO benefit.

Of course, it's a first architectural study to illustrate the promise of the idea, lots more details to work out in a physical implementation and the final realized benefit is likely to be lower. But even a 3X is huge in this space.
I would guess most of those are tools aimed at developers, who can take that risk if they wish. For most users, almost anything they want is either in official repos, or in Flatpaks, which offer some sandboxing (although I guess a malicious Flatpak could just ask for excessive permissions, like a random apk)

"technical people shouldn't feel like they need to take the managerial route to "get ahead". "

In most companies that's definitely the case. You can make way more as a mediocre manager than as an outstanding IC.
This is my experience as well. In most companies I've worked at (non-FAANG) the product team just isn't really large enough to support a more variable career chart. You have 8-10 PMs. You promote 1 to manager and another to principal. So does the one manager have 9 reports? You end up with a strange org chart where some director's at facilitating work, and others are doing more strategic stuff. Ultimately some manager is going to be over burdened with days full of 1:1's and that's it.

Interested in hearing other's experience with this!

- You've mentioned that Musk isn't good with cars, yet under his leadership, Tesla has emerged as the world's most valuable automaker. This seemingly contradicts the notion of Musk being inept in the automotive industry.

- Your claim about Tesla's autonomous vehicles lagging behind competition appears misinformed. From what I understand, Tesla's self-driving technology, which does not rely on high-definition maps, is far advanced compared to most companies in the same space. Moreover, the self-driving team, led by Karpathy and now Ashok, are highly competent individuals.

- To suggest that SpaceX hasn't been successful or valuable to NASA is just wrong. You label the Starship project as 'dumb,' but isn't it a more cost-effective way to launch larger payloads into space? I'm curious if you had similar thoughts when the Falcon 9 was announced? Today, it delivers over double the tons to orbit compared to all other organizations combined.

- Regarding the open letter signed by SpaceX employees, less than 3% of the workforce supported it. The letter primarily critiqued Musk's Twitter activity, which is unrelated to his employees' professional roles and contributions.

- On the subject of the promised 'Tesla bots,' they appear to be progressing at a considerable pace, as evidenced by the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiQkeWOFwmk.

- With Neuralink, the ultimate objective is to integrate human brains with AI. More immediate goals include improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from conditions such as blindness or paralysis.

- Assessments of Musk's technical and engineering aptitude appear more convincing when coming from sources like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/eviden...
