I think there is room for a clunky but cheaper VPS. There is room for competitors. For side projects I used Digital Ocean over AWS because of the DX, abstraction level (close enough to the metal but not too close) and not going to worry about getting a $1m bill. This arb would probably make something cheaper that digital ocean, maybe with the UX of vast.ai (very basic web interface and SSH for the rest of what you need)
IMO, this is no longer the case. Basically any new thread is getting astroturfed by marketing teams, and it seems like Reddit started doing SEO to promote newer threads, so the days of reliable reddit reviews seem to be over
Good point! Yes, for lots of things I need to use <a> instead.

Thank you for supporting IE6. I also maintain some JS and ensure compatibility with older browsers. Someone out there still wants to use it, whether it's an old machine with nostalgic value, the only machine they happen to have available, or just retro-computing enthusiasts, and I take pride in accommodating them. Good on you.
A mess of messengers is a pain, but I'll take that over a messenger that only rich people can use, which is what you're signing up for with Apple.

A few of the things you mention sound pretty annoying, but none of them are annoying enough to make up for not being able to write code on any computer I like, and run it on mine or my friend's phone, without paying a regular subscription and submitting to a reviewer who can just say no for any reason.
More interested in the Summarization API. There is no way to control the summary generation though, like, specifying that I am only interested in certain kinds of information.
It's about the way it is framed and that this is the main blog of the programming language, so the target demographic isn't people interested about how awesome a type theory based off of set theory is.

My complaint was about the way the information was presented was in a way that I don't think properly motivates why this is being done and will be a good thing. For example the text about gradual typing should have been near the start to motivate why this was being done, but instead the blog post starts by trying to teach people the basics of using types + set theory.
I don't see the issue. Was it fixed today?
And yet the tendency across various fields seems to be for ideas to progress from:

A lot of your issues come from using a Google phone (Nexus/Pixel) rather than a different brand such as Samsung. Samsung can do external display mirror over USB, or let you use your external USB monitor as a second display (wirelessly too). It has no messaging bullshit.

That said I have a Fold 4. iPhone aren't doing folding phones atm and they lock down the ecosystem so much I have zero interest.
We’ve chosen imperfect examples for a reason. That is what Kagi looks like on average so you know what to expect.

And this is why surveillance capitalism is so effective.

If it helps, think about it in yearly terms. They offer a small discount for annual payments. Is $108 per year an amount you are really going to miss, for something that gives you daily (even hourly) value?

(I get that for many many many people in the world, $108 is a significant sum, even yearly, but I expect that most of us here are luck enough to not be in that boat.)

With D language it can be the music, instruments, player and the conductor all at once [1].

Almost all the games I play are these random multiplayer games with friends. In my experience, proton is only a blocker around 5% of the time. I still have a windows partition for those times (and I always laugh when I boot it and am "welcomed" by their "Let's take a moment to configure windows" garbage).

Just saying, if you have the HDD space, I'd say give dual booting a shot. you'll probably be surprised how usable Linux is for gaming these days.
What whiteboarding solution do you use? That's one area that's still lacking IMO. Others seem happy with Miro but I want something better for freehand drawing like with a tablet.
I'm a little torn. I've never had a problem with spend, but there have been years where I didn't hit my MQMs, and just to make status, I'd fly a trans-pacific. It's giant waste for everyone involved, so I'm glad to not have to do that anymore.

I can spend $35k on flights, but I can also fly private for about the same amount, excluding most trans-oceanic. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do about next year. I'm not sure if it's really worth it. It's a weird calculus. To hit the number, it's basically buying a bunch of F/J fares. If I'm already doing that, I don't care about upgrades.
Funny, yes, but not in this venue, sir.

Ask HN: Are there any uses of sorting algorithms in real life?
I might do this. The more direct approach is to benchmark your actual app, since that will check the attributes that matter (it might be more useful to have good IO to the database than a fast CPU). Probably good to do both.

Quite tangential, but during lockdown I was looking for a way to use my iPhone as a webcam and came across this project:

https://vdo.ninja/

It started out as being a means to send a video feed into OBS[1], which is how I rigged the webcam input, but as the project grew, it expanded to being a way for me to spin up desktop video and audio sharing in a browser, sorta like Zoom, etc. This let me run virtual movie nights with people remotely.

Whilst it's possible to use it via the 'create a room' interface, you can also do it all via URL parameters which I found much more flexible and robust. See here[2].

You create source and recipient URLs and then it just automagically makes it all work via WebRTC. I was able to for example make a source that captured my VLC window and sent out the video and audio, and then two destination URLs which received the source video and audio, but also sent their own audio to one another. This meant we could hear and watch the movie but also talk to each other via our microphones. All within browsers.

I've got no relation to this project besides thinking it's really awesome.

I'm not sure if that applies to Ghibli so much though, seeing as Miyazaki sometimes just does things like get Hideaki Anno to voice a main character.
I think that might be a matter of divergence from source, though. Most people can't afford the time to debate every idea that they accept over their lifetimes.

So, if you get someone who heard something from someone they trust that heard it from someone THEY trust who is doing actual work on the subject... that's not too far removed from a primary source, so the twice-removed observer is likely to accept that fact as Good Information and move on.
Seems like the presence of the accumulated gunk in the cylinder means the hot water must be cleaner by definition? The accumulation being the net difference between what was dissolved in the incoming water and what is dissolved in the outgoing water.

With the exception of gunk that is from the lining of the cylinder itself of course.
Also an EV charging station only needs regular maintenance when things (sadly inevitably) break. Whereas a fuel station needs not just maintenance but also constant refueling, so trucks need to come out, which can be a looooong drive depending on how rural the station is.

No, the cellular iPad and other devices are indeed proof positive. The exact same cellular window solution could be applied in a redesign of the MacBook. No one is disputing aluminium blocks radio waves - the dispute is your constant argument it can’t be done because it would require a giant RF window - there is no reason a future design can’t neatly incorporate an antenna system, just like it has been done on many other aluminium devices - including iPads, iPhones and Apple Watches.

Having built 5G systems for hobbyist computer boards (Pi etc), the antenna required is not so very large either.

A MacBook is not and has never been a seamless block of aluminium - there are plenty of design choices to be made to help hide or minimise any antennas.
I hear you. Hopefully with the Deck getting more popular, developers will be forced to ensure compatability.
at one point i had filled my office with whiteboards. it was really helpful to have a non-technical reminder of what needed to be done and what i accomplished. when the whiteboard was full, i expanded to the next one. (only half joking. actually i rewrote the accomplishments into a more condensed form, removing unimportant details, different whiteboards were actually for different projects)

but actually i think sticky notes would have been more efficient. you can collect them in the done column, letting them pile up to show you how far you have come.
I've still found nothing that can match up to what Wicket was doing 10+ years ago. Your are self-contained, and know how to render their own markup. Any "templates" live with the components and are tightly coupled to them. Control flow lives in code and code alone; your markup specifies ids where your code can attach components, but there's no way for your markup to call back into your code, so you avoid spaghetti. It's wonderful.
Yes, we were impressed originally by the pictures of astronauts, but it turns out astronauts are fairly easy and a suitable choice for a demo that's designed to impress. They don't have faces or fingers, and nobody's going to notice if the astronaut suit doesn't look quite right.

Also, guitars are pretty easy due to there being so many examples. I'll be more impressed if they can get an accordion right.

I was a huge android fan until I got my first iPhone. Consequence of getting a job that trained me up for iOS development, and eventually I wanted to be able to use the apps I was building. I've never looked back.

Android will always, always have my heart for hacking, I still buy them occasionally for projects and weird esoteric shit I wanna do/try, and for game emulation and that kinda thing. But for my daily driver life manager, it's iPhone all the way. The integrations with HomeKit devices + Apple TV's make my home incredibly smart, absolutely everything is mirrored onto my Macbook and iPads (a current gen mini, and a 2017 Pro that's somehow still hanging in there despite being beat to shit every day for 6 years) without me lifting a damn finger, and when I do get around to upgrading, I plug them both in and all my shit is transferred over, and I blank the old one and send it to Apple for recycling.

Like it's cliche as hell, but it does all Just Work. Androids have caught up quite a bit in terms of power and the "slickness" that iOS got famous for, but at this point, I'm so deep into Apple's ecosystem I'd have to replace damn near every piece of electronic kit in my house to really transfer back over. And the grass just don't look that much greener over there.

I am just quoting what the Russian media said in there accidentally posted victory article early on in the war.

>> Russia is restoring its unity - the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe of our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome

I suggest you read the article i think you’ll find the word NATO doesn’t even appear in it.

> they just don't want NATO setting up shop on their borders

Then they have already failed as the Russian border with NATO is now longer then it would be if you included Ukraine and Ukraine isn’t even in NATO.

I don’t think it was this though as Germany gave Russia assurances before the war that they would veto Ukraines NATO application.

> NATO has spent the years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union breaking all of their assurances to Russia that it would not expand, literally encircling them.

There was never any formalised agreement to not expand NATO, so no promise was ever made.

Regardless of that Russia has multiple international agreements with Ukraine (that are formalised) that say they will never threaten their sovereignty.

Why doesn’t Russia have to follow those?.

Another question one might ask is why Russias neighbours want to join NATO it’s probably because Russia has invaded nearly all of them at some point in time.

Seems pretty reasonable to me to want to defend yourself from what at this point seems like a likely future invasion,

Rediscovered: ANONbbs – A 1996 Glimpse into the Past of Digital File Sharing
This sometimes causes businesses to show up on the map at their owners' house instead of the actual location. Or a restaurant's name will change to Obscure Name Pty Ltd LLC Co Inc because that's the name of their holding company. The last one happens unusually often in Australia I feel like, maybe because people outside the country don't know how to validate the data.
A listing for aNONbbs circa 1996 has been found. aNONbbs was a 972 BBS set up for easy file transfers amongst a subset of SDFers. It ran on a Toshiba T1000 with a USR Sportster modem. The image is a scan of the negative at the end of the roll of film. It was developed but Eckard Pharmacy thought it was not worth printing at the time.

I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with the thesis of this article. Clovis first has more than a few holes in it at this point. This is generally accepted. It's not hinging on a few singular 22k BCE finds, or even South American finds. Nenana, Bluefish, Triquet, Meadowcroft, Saltville, Cactus Hill, Topper, Page Ladson, Buttermilk Creek, Paisley and that's just North America pre-Clovis sites. Monte Verde in Chile is well established, and it's very evocative that the very oldest finds are down the coast from the first megalithic American sites in Caral ~4000BCE. Almost certainly not related - not with 10k y separation - but, as I said, evocative.

Lord knows I have my problems[1] with today's reactionaries, but at the same time, I also have a gut revulsion at any knee-jerk rejection of early Homo distribution. I'm not saying this piece is guilty of that specifically, but it's a stated bias at conferences: we'd rather find recent Homo spreading recently. My counterargument: Nazis aren't going to give a strained s#!t when America or Asia was peopled, they're going to latch on to whatever they want to. More crucially, they'll use your bad judgement to undermine all of science and the fucking Enlightenment while they're at it. Don't let their nonsense taint your judgement, as noble as you might think it is.

[1] Which I am in no way drawing false equivalence with. One of these parties is guilty of bad judgement applying aesthetics to archaeology, and the other . . well, we come from all sides here, so enough said.

>It feels really nice using products that respect me, as opposed to services that are actively hostile because of advertisers.

Hot take, but IMO Windows has far more respect for the user than Linux does.

Everything is far more QA'd (and designed to be QA-able) and at least tries to minimise user frustration. There are exceptions to this, like "suggestions" in the Start menu, but outside of this it's designed in a user-first way.

(Desktop) Linux, on the other hand, seems to be more of an intellectual experiment designed to please the people who are writing it rather than a consumer-focused product. Performing basic tasks are unnecessarily complex, entire design paradigms are thrown out on a whim and compatibility issues continually arise because there's no single dominant standard.
I mean you definitely can manage splits and tabs and even pop up ui with tmux, just like you can extend kakoune by writing shell scripts with kakoune’s eldrich horror nesting of editor contexts. I just think both of those things are a huge pain in the ass to deal with.
What makes it weird for me is the filter/map/etc with an implicit destination, since function chains like that usually get rolled into a variable. It'd get you a compiler warning in Swift or Kotlin ("Result of call to 'map' is unused", etc). Agree that a for loop reads better in this case.
"correct" is a value judgement that depends on lots of different things. Only you can decide which tool is correct. Here are some ideas:

Your idea about a queue (in redis, or postgres, or sqlite, etc) is also totally valid. These off-the-shelf tools I listed probably wouldn't give you a huge advantage IMO.
I think you could equally say it's a nice gesture that people are allowed to use roads built on private land. Better than having to go around.

Sure, lines of code doesn’t correlate to how much actual code is produced, but I feel like that’s just being pedantic. The assumption that I’m stating here is: the more stuff a CPU has to do, generally the longer it’s going to take to do the stuff.

I’m not arguing that a more complex algorithm can do the same stuff quicker. Of course you can do that. There’s plenty of examples of that. But in the general case, doing more things takes longer.

Of course, the CPU can execute instructions in parallel, it can pipeline instructions and gain a higher throughput, it can predict branches, etc. But those are things you have to be intentional about enabling more often than not. Making small changes in the higher level code can ruin whatever performance gains you had gained because you accidentally trashed the throughput or something.

Generally, more instructions takes longer to process. Of course, a more complex algorithm can do the stuff quicker. But it’s not the default and depending on the problem, it can be very difficult to get it to go quicker with more instructions.

This isn’t even something that should be hard to conceptualize. Getting an element out of an array using an index is O(1). Getting an element out of a hashmap is also O(1) (when there’s no collisions). Even though these both perform the same in terms of complexity (“constant” time) the array will win every time if you already know the index. Why? Because the hashmap uses more instructions to figure out where the index is.

So I really don’t understand why the assumption that: generally, more code = slower is a bad one to make. Unless you explicitly try to make the code with more instructions faster, it will usually be slower than if you did it with less instructions.

Open-source (of general software) won and is winning every day.

For profit code is written on top of open-source, every single day.

If your metric for code success is the money it returns, then that is the only metric in which open-source has lost.
