Would you be able to share what your products are? I'd love to host a small service like this, but struggle to come up with something that would be both useful and profitable at a small scale.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope you see the point.
heh… next to this tower PC is a rack loaded with networking gear and 2x maxed out R720 machines with redundant 1100w power supplies. My electrical bill is around $100/mo.
It's an impressive app but I as the parent said, I'd expect JS would have worked just fine & let you do all the same things, at essentially the same speed.

The key differentiation, as the parent says, is using Web Workers to make sure you're not doing work on the main thread.

Although I really do think we need a fully open P2P tracking network, like helium with Bluetooth and no crypto, so that smaller companies and DIYers can join the network, and also just in case they outlaw the commercial ones.
Going by betteridge's law, you may already have the answer. :)
I feel like if you are worried about 30kb, you're probably also not using custom fonts; or you're at least not blocking rendering behind them (you're accepting FOUT).

It's a reasonable argument to make that minimizing 3rd-party library use is premature optimization for most websites, but if you get to the point where you need that optimization then it is 30kb and it won't be cached (CDN caching is a myth, CDNs are only useful for minimizing server load/response-time they aren't shared between domains) and it will block your initial app logic.
This article is mainly about ads popping up, but I think their whole UI is also worth shitting on. Really as an organization, Google doesn't seem to have any good-looking UIs. They're all ugly, awkward and inefficient. Clicking on a pin on Google Maps takes up an enormous portion of the screen for no reason. My Gmail page uses the top half to list pages of emails and the bottom half for absolutely nothing, and there is a huge space at the top outlined by an ugly 1-pixel rounded border that says something I won't ever care to read. The Google Search results page looks like it was just what they used for testing and then never created the actual UI.
Or if your random selection happens to be all lowercase chars and the site flips out? Companies are too stupid about password requirements to make a scheme like this work, unfortunately. I've tried it, but a good password manager is what's actually worked in the real world.
Sure, but on the other hand people can learn to read the room. I am interested in lots of things, but that doesn't stop me from trying to fit the context and the interests of the other participants. E.g., I have a lot to say about cryptocurrency, but there was a time when it seemed like almost any HN discussion ended up with a tenuous cryptocurrency tangent. It was annoying and exhausting, and I'm glad we've mostly gotten past it.
> With such height I would expect it to be almost invidible to cars

That's the first thing that comes up every time VMs are mentioned. It's definitely not false, but I feelel that some points should be mentioned:

1. Over all VMs are a lot safer than bicycles:
1.1. If a car touches your bicycles handbar you've lost. In a VM the handlebar is inside.
1.2. You ride feet first which increases the length of your "crumble zone" significantly. Watch this and tell me you would have survived in a normal bicycle: https://youtu.be/5aujzL__SZE

2. Huge trucks are not as common in Europe. Everybody here is worried about SUVs getting too big here, but our SUVs are tiny compared to (some) American trucks.

3. Due to the E-Bike boom, cycling infrastructure is becoming a lot better with huge stretches of smooth, paved bicycle lanes along major roads. We are getting there.

4. Some sports cars are only slightly heigher compared to Velomobiles (e.g. Mango: 0.9m vs. Porsche 911 1.2m) and are often painted super bright colors. If a driver overlooks a VM he will probably also overlook a sports car.

(To be fair, I think that there is some "this object does not participate in traffic" recognition happening in the brain that just marks VMs as unimportant. I did a test drive some time ago were we were shouted at because we "drove towards [the other guy] at high velocity" ... while we were literally waiting to pass a parked car. I assume that we just "appeared" for him and his brain decided that therefore we must have been moving at high velocity.)
Honestly its pretty hilarious that for here PHP is lumped in there with the usual suspects of online flamewars.

I don’t think it’s worth worrying about or changing your writing style. I’m tired of these people who blanche in the face when you write something in a way that isn’t how they expect and where they are haunted by the possibility of a double meaning in what you said. “Smoking a fag” for instance is a perfectly British phrase that will have an uncultured American clutching their pearls and groping around for any kind of downvote or report button.

If you’re scared, don’t read anything. Reading is scary and dangerous.
I mentioned it as a footnote, but:

"Plus, IME most companies carry so much cultural context that being exposed to it for exactly 1 ticket + not having inside people to ask questions means this will be an uphill battle."

I'm curious as to how you make this work when I'd imagine even a simple ticket for anywhere I've worked would go something like this: "first learn our monorepo, then learn how all the internal testing tooling works, and oops your PR is going to touch our in-house/NIH'd migration system. Also you can't just rename this db column, let me explain our db replication strategy (which you can't touch or observe since no way would a non-employee have any of our AWS access, even for dev). oh and Jim (haha good ole jim, he wrote like 40% of the code and then got fired after 2 years because he told the CTO to go fuck himself) wrote that code in a rush in the before times so it's creaky, try not to ever touch or look at it, so work around it in the app code even if you might otherwise want to change it" and so on and so on.

(I also find learning all this stuff - the NIH systems, the stack, who the Jim is this time around and what code he wrote, etc - is like 85% of the part of spinning up at a new company and it takes like 6 months of fireside campfire stories to pick up enough of the lore)

It sounds like a shop like this would basically mean devs are eternally in that "doesn't know about Jim's code yet" stage.
That does not provide the causal connection from weaker economy to worse ecological outcomes.
Some of the password hashing algorithms have maximum input lengths. For example bcrypt only allows up to a 72 byte string.

Thanks, though I think even in these docs there are some early on concepts I just don't find convincing. Such as in the Xanadu doc, the Software Philosophy short version being a recomposed copy of live text from the long version. If I'm following their goals, they want live cross-editing through their "transpointing windows" - I really really don't, personally. I picture three docs, A, B, and C which is a summary composite of things pulled from A & B - C will still need its own manual curation and updating if A and B are changed to remain legible, flowing, and meaningful, and I'd rather have a stale doc than a garbled one.

The intro of the Nelson paper/Memex discussion is similarly alien to me. I don't think it's human-shaped, at least not for me. The upkeep to use it properly seems like more work than I would get back in value out. It's a little too artifact-focused and not process/behavior focused, IMO?
Male enrollment numbers are a huge issue and it's disappointing reading some of the quotes in the article.

Double standards go both ways - if men are demonstrably struggling I don't think it's unreasonable to give them a bit of a push. I would expect the same consideration for women.

Ultimately, let the person choose whether or not they want to apply or go into a profession that doesn't require post secondary education and apply supports where needed.
You may be authorized, but you may not be authorized to confer or transfer those rights to a third party (e.g. Zoom).
I don't think you understand my question. STUN is only for setting up the connection. With Trickle ICE etc. But after that, who actually proxies the video that is being sent between the WebRTC endpoints? You need TURN servers for that! Without them, people behind a firewall wouldn't be able to actually receive any audio/video streams from Jitsi. So how would it work without TURN?
Check out LMMS [0], I just found it yesterday to run VSTs, I normally stay away from them and just needed a minimal VST host for one I couldn't resist, and I was blown away at what it could do for free. Between that and the synth Surge XT [1] (another free and open source project), you can make any sound you would want to, and use either the sequencer on LMMS or an external hardware sequencer (yes, USB MIDI works, even Bluetooth MIDI).

We're asking about their central servers, if they don't require an account to be set up, how do they prevent sybil attacks?
Proton. Import process is super easy. I would recommend going for a paying plan. You can import your own domain name, have multiple addresses, you get a VPN, lots of storage space, etc.
And they'll never open your mailbox to the FBI.
The word "breakthrough" tends to imply something more than "we still don't know it's possible; and if it is possible, we are only closer to the next accomplishment because of the linear nature of time rather than any actual progress towards our goals".
Any lessons to share other than that?
Correct. Indeed, even things treated as gambling aren't taxed, such as financial spread betting.

(Apparently this makes sense because if gambling wins were to be taxed then gambling losses should also be deductible, and since gambling is inherently a losing proposition, the tax authorities would lose more than they gained. I don't really buy this argument since they could just tax winnings and offer no deductions, but hey ho.)
asm.js was capable of most of the same stuff, wasm just takes it further (with simd and native int64)
Is it any wonder then that the Liberals dragged their heels on the 2015 campaign promise of electoral reform?

As part of the process, the parliamentary committee released a survey asking questions like

* Independent candidates should be able to be elected to Parliament
* The current electoral system adequately reflects voters' intentions
* Seats should be allocated in proportion to the percentage of votes received by each political party
* Voters should elect local candidates to represent them in Parliament
* The current electoral system should be changed

When the committee concluded with https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/421/ERRE/Reports..., recommending that Canada adopt proportional representation, the Liberal Party responds with their own survey, asking questions like

* There should be parties in Parliament that represent the views of all Canadians, even if some are radical or extreme.
* Governments should have to negotiate their policy decisions with other parties in Parliament, even if it is less clear who is accountable for the resulting policy.
* It is better for several parties to have to govern together than for one party to make all the decisions in government, even if it takes longer for government to get things done.

> I've never played BG (I did play icewind Dale when I was a kid but it was annoying to read the dialogue without voice acting)

I genuinely am surprised that there are people out there who think this way.

I'm the complete opposite. I skip all voice acting, because I read faster than anyone can deliver lines, and frankly I'm not there for the performance or the "experience". I'm there for the game. The voice acting doesn't add anything to the gameplay for me. I wish games that have dialog boxes would let me turn it off entirely, honestly.
I see, then I misunderstood. My bad

I don’t support affirmative action of any variety. Why should balance be a desired end in itself?

Men are more likely to go into the trades, and we need people to do that. The average age of people in the trades is very high. Who are you going to call when they retire?

Let the market sort it out, distorting markets often produces a worse outcome.

That's true. IMHO, solution to this is not trying to look and feel exactly like native controls, but focusing on providing universally good UI/UX instead. Good UI/UX can be independent of a platform it runs on.

Don't get me wrong, there are a few essential things that you have to mimic in order not to be too alien on a specific platform. But for everything else, try to provide best UI/UX for a specific task rather than trying to mimic some generic controls.

Making a good UI framework from scratch takes considerable amount of resources. The lack of accessibility and localization is usually due to insufficient resources from framework developers, not a technical limitation.
But you have to choose to do it and there is an additional cost, if I am not mistaken. When our startup filed our patents in the US market, we chose not to do the same in Europe...
Those ARM boxes are incredible for the price, I'm using them to document a hobby K8S cluster because the overall cost is low enough that it won't price a hobbyist out.

speaking of monetization, i’d happily pay a $10 monthly fee for these features as a biker:

- weather along route

Google knows the weather, it knows the route… Just add a layer! better yet suggest a reroute. i pay for a separate app for this currently.

- motorcycle friendly features

bigger buttons for usage with gloves; selection of straight, curvy, unpaved etc roads; right now it’s just Highway or non Highway

- ability to create a group and show their live locations on the map.

Something better than WhatsApp live location. The current approach that Google maps uses is cumbersome and non-intuitive. also if a route is updated, an option to update everyone else’s shared route.

- local info, POI, etc

you know my location and interests, tell me some interesting stuff over Bluetooth about the city or POI’s i’m passing by.
> we click a play button to start an elixir runtime based on that metadata code block

Can you show a concrete example? IE a real production url running this?

What is "metadata"?

In Docusaurus you can have a live playground evaluating on your browser, or you can embed any embeddable playground if it requires a server integration.

> with this component, we then issue commands to inspect state, manage elixir "processes" in the runtime, etc

Another example would be useful.

So this is just an embedded widget to interact with something remote? Why can't this be built as a React component that you can add to any Docusaurus page?

---

It looks to me that you don't need maintainer knowledge to build that, and React knowledge is enough.
I would caution anyone looking to make their UI "snappy": while webassembly performance for things like raw compute - especially with simd - is superior, any time you need to interface with browser APIs like the DOM to update your UI you're now going to pay a bunch of interop costs that aren't present in native JavaScript. For some workloads this will make wasm meaningfully slower - especially ones that use strings.

Grope has the same meaning in American English, and used in that context could be fine ("grope around").

But I have never heard "groper" used for anything other than some engaging in sexual assault. The benign sense of "grope around" isn't a sufficient part of an identity to ever use the word "groper", while he sexual assault sense is, so "groper" implies the sexual assault meaning.

It's entirely likely that the original author of this phrasing was thinking about it in the benign sense, but didn't realize that the phrasing would make many readers interpret it in the sexual assault sense.
You guessed it, boats. I have built a stitch and glue (plywood) sea kayak[0], an Aleutian-style skin-on-frame sea kayak[1], and a skin-on-frame canoe[2]. All were fairly approachable and straightforward projects (I built the first two with basically some hand tools, a drill and a jig saw, on my deck, but a table saw is highly recommended for skin on frame). Tons of fun and the feeling of being a couple miles offshore or cruising down rapids in a boat you built yourself is awesome.

I didn’t know what those things are so here’s what I found out:

Gradient Boosted Trees: This is a machine learning technique used for predictive modeling. It involves creating a series of decision trees, where each subsequent tree corrects the errors made by the previous ones. Think of it like a team of experts working together, where each expert specializes in fixing the mistakes made by the previous experts. This iterative process leads to a strong predictive model.

Ensembling: Ensembling is a strategy in which multiple individual models are combined to create a more robust and accurate prediction. It's like taking the opinions of multiple experts to make a better decision. In the context of gradient boosted trees, ensembling involves combining the predictions from multiple trees to get a more accurate overall prediction.

Secondary Ensembling Scheme: This refers to an additional layer of combining models to further improve accuracy. It's like having a group of experts (the gradient boosted trees) collaborate and then having another group of experts (the secondary ensembling scheme) collaborate based on the first group's insights.

So, "gradient boosted trees fed into some secondary ensembling scheme" means using a combination of decision trees that correct each other's errors, and then taking the outputs of these trees and further improving their predictions through another layer of combining models. This approach often leads to highly accurate predictions in forecasting tasks.

Maps worked great for their primary purpose of finding your way to some designated location for hundreds of years without built-in analytics and marketing info. When the latter is getting in the way of the core function (eg finding out what street you're on), something has gone badly wrong. Lately Google maps won't show your own location if you have Google location services disabled, even though pretty much every phone has a GPS built in. The map is no longer the product, data about what you're doing is the product.

Yes, the respective sins of both floating- and fixed-point math are significantly reduced when you have more bits (for a demo of this try using both at 16 bits; you will have to code very carefully and be very aware of the faults of each).

For many situations though, I find the graceful degradation of floats to cause more subtle bugs, which can be a problem.
