So if you mean in house, being on premise in your own mini data center, you can find these cheap mini pcs, buying actual hardware can save a lot like you could use 3 mini pc's to make a cluster using ubuntu's version of k8s.
Having an iPad can provide a lot of the same social value, since you can still use social media or instant messaging apps. Only a minority of the social value that you can't get from a flip phone comes from being able to use it during the school day, IMO.

Although a flip phone with a good keyboard would be preferable, so quick typing is easier.
Absolutely agree with your comment and this is what I'm also doing.
Couldn't get to the bottom of it but seems like a really well-researched article. I would love to one day visit a Japanese hot spring but the nakedness factor is a bit off-putting.
I don’t think the parent poster meant EKS when they talk about “in-house” and “provision new hardware, servers etc”. I’d think more in the lines of buying a Dell/Lenovo server, racking it in their server room or collocated space, and running Kubernetes by themselves on their own hardware - not the cloud.
AdaCore Announces Gnat Pro for Rust
Something weird is happening, not sure if related

I can't play certain youtube videos on Microsoft Edge; to confirm, I used inprivate mode with NO extensions enabled (not even adblock of any kind)...the webpage loads, I can hear the audio but the accompanying video does not show.

It's only certain videos and shorts, I can can click ten random videos and 8 will play normally, but two will have audio but no video.

(This is only on Edge; haven't seen this on chrome or firefox yet)

Not sure if they are testing something related to breaking adblock or something else, but something fishy is going on.
Agree. I love the Gilbert Strang series and am working through it myself. Also, the book "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler[1] is amazing. He has on his website a set of short videos and slides to accompany it[2]. It's incredibly comprehensive and takes an interesting strategy of teaching all of linear algebra in a very rigorous fashion without introducing determinants until the end. His reasoning is explained in a paper he published called "Down with Determinants!"[3].

Then how would they respond to warrants asking for all user identities that upload image x? "Sorry, no"? I don't think so. If they are served a valid warrant that isn't overbroad and they have the data, they are legally compelled to provide it.

Whatever they said, it was probably worded to give you this impression, without actually saying that. Apple is extremely careful and goes to great pains to actively mislead and deceive whilst avoiding actual lies.

Could you please link to or quote these statements from Apple? I would bet any money they say something different than what you claim, a "not wittingly"-style hedge.

As much as this is HN and engineering(sometimes over engineering for the sake of fun or learning) is discussed here, I’d highly encourage you to think whether you really need Kubernetes in the first place..

Saying ^ because it sounded like you’re planning to use it in “production” as you say small SaaS, which implies your users rely on it and probably pay for it.

It’s often best to start simple - Load Balancer + web/app servers + Database server and add more complexity /features iteratively as you see a real need for it.
You’d be surprised how far you can get with achieving K8S perks without bringing in the whole thing - rolling upgrades etc.

Just my 2 cents.
Thanks, edited title.
Show HN: ClickPaw – A macOS auto-clicker app with image targeting
I'm looking for testers for my new auto-click app. I made it to automate a game, but it can for any kind of tasks you do. If you give useful feedback, I'll give out some promo code when app goes public. Thanks!
When you figure out a way to shout down controlled studies with anecdata get back to us.
That makes me happy, because 12 years ago here on HN I posted a comment [1] outlining how a Dropbox-like service could be implemented that stored user files encrypted, with the service not having the keys, yet allow for full deduplication when different users were storing the same file, while still supporting the normal Dropbox sharing features.

The file encryption part was based on using a hash of the file as the key.

It's always nice to later find out that one's quick amateur idea turns out to be an independent rediscovery of something legit. Now that I've learned it is called "convergent encryption" Googling tells me it it goes back to 1995 and a Stac patent.

Hey everyone, author of the original essay here. Glad to see so much interest in Nostr!

I originally published this article in Jan '23. Since then, we've seen a lot of development around both the protocol and applications (much of which has been well documented here by jb55 and others). Twitter-like clients such as Damus and Amethyst have gotten much better and new clients like primal (primal.net) have emerged with their own takes on features like caching and algorithms. Nostr Wallet Connect made it substantially easier to connect a Lightning wallet with a Nostr client for one tap zapping, radically simplifying the payment experience for end users.

I'm personally most excited to see several early examples of applications that move beyond social media and show Nostr for what it is - a generalized data protocol. Almost any app would benefit from a persistent identity and portable data shared with other apps. Here are a few live examples:

- Long tail of edge AI services - pablof7z and several others are piloting a new construct called "data vending machines (DVMs)" which allow users to publish job requests to the nostr network and other users (or bots) to compete to fulfill those requests. We're already seeing early markets for fine tuned open source models completing services like voice-to-text transcription or image generation. Even cooler, each of these DVMs is chainable, so the output of one DVM can be the input of another. See https://vendata.io for example.
This recent hackathon had a few cool dvm projects as well: https://bolt.fun/tournaments/ai4all/overview

- Music - Stemstr (stemstr.app) is a Nostr native app for creating and remixing music. Wavlake (wavlake.com) is a music streaming service with Lightning zaps, which recently integrated Nostr login.

- Text annotation - https://highlighter.com allows users to collaboratively highlight text (think rapgenius on Nostr). You can even collaboratively highlight this very thread if you like!

- Marketplaces - bids and asks are messages which can be published over Nostr, allowing multiple marketplace front ends to share a common order book or liquidity. We've already seen a few pocs for building Nostr based marketplaces such as:
github.com/lnbits/nostrmarket
github.com/supertestnet/superstore

- Nostr browser - an early version of Spring, a nostr browser, recently launched to experiment with hosting various microapps in one interface: github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/

This list is just the tip of the iceberg, but hopefully it gives a good overview of Nostr's potential. I've invested in a number of these projects already and remain committed to funding many more hackers exploring Nostr in the coming months!

So what about fibre Ethernet ??? You might be able to squeeze a bidirectional fibre (single fibre which uses 2 different frequencies of light for tx/RX) next to your coax runs through your walls? Then all you need is a media converter / switch on both ends...
Such an engaging read. Someone recently posted how utterly maddening it was as a physicist to identify and fix leaks. Wish I could find that comment again.
This fixed it, thanks!
From a high schooler: Beyond elementary school, I'd recommend staying relaxed about what's allowed. In middle school, sure, block some stuff. Maybe no CoD, to be honest I'm not really too sure about what to do at this stage. I had no parental controls at all, and I didn't do anything that parental controls would've blocked.

But at high school, there's a good chance your kid will be hearing the n word on a weekly basis, at least, and the f bomb multiple times per day. And if not, it'll just be variations to avoid punishment at school. They know plenty of swears by that point, there's no point trying to censor it. And if you block tons of stuff, they can and WILL find a way around it. For example, a neighboring school district blocks very little, besides what is specifically intended for circumventing blocks, while my school blocks quite a bit (thanks, in part, to me using dozens of GBs in a day, and other adventures) and I'd bet $100 that they have way less students trying to circumvent their blocks. People will accept some restrictions, up until a certain point, and after that, there's no censorship, no blocks, and no control. There's tons of proxies, and they likely have access to much less limited computers at school. So at most, I'd recommend limiting social media to, say, an hour a day, and leave everything else unblocked. *They know plenty, and can circumvent, whatever you put in place, so just make your terms acceptable.*

And as for games, I don't really have a problem with vetting your kid's games, just don't pay attention to the ESRB ratings, look stuff up yourself. And don't let be a cheapskate and let your kid get sucked into addictive f2p games designed to exploit them, get them some decent games that'll last them a while.

Sorry for this being so long, I'll take another look at it in the morning and try to shorten it down a bit. But for now, good night HN.
Nice font.

I could be judging intelligence by too few dimensions.
I'm a huge fan of numberphile. I don't have a background with mathematics, but have an ADHD interest in prime numbers and their videos have scratched that itch multiple times. Videos about the Mandelbrot set or the Riemann series are deeply fascinating to me despite a lack of interest in general mathematics beyond this. I've learned a lot from this channel, but very little practically applicable. But I'll still watch every video with a 17 in it.

On a trip to California last year, my wife and I rented a house in which the washing machine required a mobile app to start. I don't have a cell phone. Fortunately my wife has an iPhone, so we were able to install the app on her phone, connect it to my credit card, and charge it with the minimum mount (about $15, as I recall). I'll never use that specific app again, so we deleted it, meaning the app company got to keep most of the money.

Later we tried renting some e-scooters, which required the use of the Lyft App. My wife has the Lyft app, which let her pay for one scooter but then wouldn't let her unlock a second one for her non-cellphone-owning husband (I guess if you're a parent who wants to use e-scooters with your child, you're out of luck).

I sense that in the not-too-distant future, those of us who don't own a device running either Apple's or Google's proprietary OS will be pretty much excluded from many of the basic conveniences of everyday life.
What should give pause in advocacy for the tarpit of Unicode is its unimplementability. That's a giant red flag that something went horribly wrong.
Indeed.

Note that piracy - robbery by boat - is associated with lawless regions. It will be hard for some people to accept that the Bay Area has declined so far.

I was raised and worked as an adult in San Francisco. It has always had two faces: the truly friendly, groovy, nice side; and the truly dangerous, menacing, lawless side. There are people who firmly, even angrily, deny that San Francisco is any more dangerous than any major urban center, not to mention actually lawless. For them, perhaps it is not. But these are the same people who will deny that this kind of thing - robbery by boat - is piracy. Because to them, and this is my point, piracy only happens in lawless places (or the quaint past) and San Francisco is not lawless QED.
Disagree, unironically physical world is discriminating, full of high educational adults, acting as big childs with wrong assumptions and nothing to talk about. Hackersnews is the opposite with smart individuals.
> moral universalism has a long history of resulting in impingement of the sovereignty of foreign nations

For the last time: We were talking about what an individual can peacefully do in order to effect change (if anything). No one has made any suggestions about what the United States as a nation should do.

The comment you replied to was explicitly NOT geopolitical in scope. It was the polar opposite; They were asking what a single individual can do about something they personally find morally repugnant.

No one is suggesting violating the “sovereignty of foreign nations”. That’s absurd.

This is the biggest difference between poor writing and a masterpiece.

For example I just watched episode 2 of the new Star Wars series Ahsoka — where two characters literally tell each other the backstory… for ten minutes.

Accents won't change to the point where you would have trouble understanding them, but cultures and values can be radically different. Living in NYC for example, I would consider many bible belt sates to almost be a different country.
I like to think I'm a reasonable advocate.

I think the strongest anti-nuclear case is one of civilization collapse (fast or slowly) and instability - what happens when say, Russia, can no longer afford or has the capability to maintain these plants? Even shutting them down leaves huge massive problems for multiple generations.

Then you have the waste storage issue which is largely a political issue. This needs to be solved before nuclear in the US can really be seen as realistic - imo.
I don't think that SFPD should need to anticipate in their emergency response that 2 lanes would be blocked by 2 different Cruise vehicles. Do you also take issue with the Fire Department blocking 2 lanes to shield the patients from oncoming traffic?

The deflection is just weird to me. Can we only discuss issues with self-driving cars once they've replaced human drivers fully?

In most densely populated areas near where I live in southern New England, bikes are vehicles that, in most cases, must operate on the roadway. I'd get a ticket for riding a bike across a pedestrian bridge or down an urban sidewalk.
Me and you grew up in different ages of the internet. I was 6yo in 2010

Why read when you can watch.
Why play with toys when you can play video games.

Not trying to say that watching YouTube or playing video games is bad - (they can be just as educational imo) but what happens is your overall standard for gratification gets raised. This increased standard makes what should be normal tasks become mundane. The overall effect of which is compulsion to avoid the mundane task.

Sounds like your experience was with the internet as a knowledge tool. Currently, id argue it’s a time-sink and mind-sink for the majority of people.

p.s I don’t have adhd/autism if that’s what you’re thinking.
Another aspect of return to office culture is that I feel the need to wear noise cancelling headphones for long periods of time.

It's incredible that reporting on crime and poverty has been so captured as to sound delusional. The article even goes so far as to link this rise in piracy to an increase in homeless encampments, but somehow declares the latter a "catalyst" as though it just came from nowhere and caused the piracy, instead of even bothering with lip service to the obvious third variable causing both. Noting that the police have been more active in removing people who can't pay what is no doubt an ever-inflating rent just to anchor their boats, I can basically just model the "pirates" as an obvious consequence of this sort of approach, directly parallelling the dynamics of homelessness on land

We know where the homeless people came from: they were mostly displaced from homes in the area they now camp in by policy that has inflated cost of living while also harming renters and anyone working for a living's ability to remain in their home, as is true of most homeless people in the US, and the pirates are likely of similar origin

It is an incredible testament to how civil we have managed to make people in the last fifty or so years that the present situation the poor of the bay area are in has resulted in mostly property crime so far, and a testament to the absurd, fearful, propagandized bubbles the wealthy live in that the small but locally-unprecedented rise in actual violent crime isn't serving as a long-needed wakeup call to more of them
I was born around when you were and screen time never came up, the more time I spent on my computer the better, honestly.

I had many problems, but generic “screen time” was never one of them.
It’s interesting you mention scooters, because Lyft allows a single user to unlock two bicycles, at least in Chicago, but not two scooters. I wonder if the risk profile is somehow different?

> It's the visual that matters.

I expect a good search function for my electronic book!

> Again, semantics are divined from context.

I gave an explicit counterexample. You can't distinguish an IPA `ɑ` (open back unrounded vowel) from an IPA `a` (open front unrounded vowel) with just a context---[hɑt] and [hat] are different pronunciations. So they have to be differently encoded, right? And due to its history, either the "normal" `a` glyph will exactly look like one of them, depending on the font. So we can't have perfectly distinct glyphs for distinct code points anyway. Maybe we need a better rationale, something like semantics...
I have also seen ads again, but when I see these discussions I always wish someone would tell us or link to the actual reason: What filter rule has been updated? What is youtube exactly doing to fight the adblocker?

If anyone knows, please link to it!
The good news is that after replacing the human drivers with cruise cars the number of cruise cars struck by cruise cars would be at an all time low.
I mean, or they were different teams and the product person on the bike team was like sure, two bikes, while the scooter team was like let's unlock one scooter, and there was no reasoning of any sort of communicating and sometimes stuff is just inconsistent because people don't talk and don't care about things they think don't matter

We're evolving from phonetic languages back to hieroglyphic ones, because somehow the Unicode committee imagines that 1,000,000 hieroglyphs with distinct meanings are better than 26 phonetic letters.
Antitrust, but I see your point; we ought to put pro-consumerism first.
> I think most people are very familiar with the standard west coast accent given it's prevalence in Hollywood.

Hollywood doesn't use a west coast accent (which isn't even one thing, a Calfifornia accent is distinct from an Oregon accent), they use a midwestern accent to be as easily understood as possible to international audiences.

Actors take classes on this, it very specifically is not a west coast accent that Hollywood uses.

Just a few months ago, I was still able to get Lyft rides using a desktop browser; but, despite the web page still being very functional -- letting me select the endpoints, see nearby cars, and get pricing-timing information for the various options -- when I tried to do that this morning they made the button to do the actual booking process say something like "book using the app" and presented a dialog when I clicked it telling me they no longer supported booking from the website and I would have to use the app on a phone. I am pretty sure the web site even correctly tracked my ride after I booked... this one just feels particularly egregious to me as it clearly is almost fully still functional but they decided to explicitly not allow this use case anymore?
