I recently experienced this in a way. My laptop was overheating a few months ago and finally a BIOS screen said that the fan was not working. I had also as usual used up all my meagre "runway" working on my "startup" and had to immediately pick up a new contract.

So I panicked a bit and just got cheap Chromebook. Because of having both projects and needing to put a lot of energy into the contract, I assumed that fixing the laptop was going to be too involved. So I kept deciding "I don't have energy for it this weekend".

Turns out, all I had to do was remove the back cover and then the heat sink. And then pull/blow out the piles of furry dust out that were totally blocking the air flow.
I didn't need to buy or replace a fan and I already had the correct screwdriver (which I had assumed I needed to buy a new one along with a fan).

I guess the point of the story is that after a certain amount of time, people might want to clean their laptop intake vents or open it up and clean inside in that area.

Isn’t that part also discussed, starting in paragraph 18?
LaserDisk and 8-Track both had beneficial uses and customers.
That’s a super uncharitable take on Rust GUIs and honestly implies you never looked deeper.

> Sidekiq solves "What happens when a worker crashes?" by just not solving it. In the free version, those jobs are just lost.

I've been using Sidekiq for 11+ years in production and I've never seen this happen. Sidekiq (free version) has a very robust retry workflow. What are you talking about here?
Not sure this particular article brings anything new to the table, but it's nice to spread the word.

Been meaning to build an Orleans stream provider for Postgres.. I believe that's the main missing component that would allow everything to "JustWork" with Postgres until you outgrow it.
That's not an adjective. It's a determiner. (In your usage and in your parent comment's usage - the difference between the two of you is that your use is interrogative.)

(Determiner is the part of speech to which the articles belong, but it also includes things like each, this, some, etc.)
Not even profitability, but growth. Even if it wasn't profitable now it could be worth doing for a growing market, but surely the market for physical discs is shrinking and will continue to do so.
I have been involved in a few projects using postgres-bakend queues for a few years, scale hasn't been a problem so far.

On the other hand, I have done a few experiments with postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY, while the feature seems nice at first glance, I concluded that it wasn't worth it for our use cases, maybe it is different in other languages but in the JVM, you have to allocate 1-thread for polling these results, which also keeps a connection busy.

What I ended up doing is leveraging akka-stream to stream the queue data directly from the db, which makes it simple to define throttling rules, this is super simple and effective.
skip lock works well on many Ks/sec message queues.
As someone active in the community I wouldn't say there has been any particularly massive ramp up recently.

Someone refernced ElixirConf US and some of the news-flow is certainly from that.

Elixir has been building a steady steam pressure for a long time and I think steady is still the case.

As someone writing about Elixir I will say that it has good traction here as a general rule. I think Erlang appeals to the CS-interested, Elixir appeals to a lot of Ruby and startup folks. The ecosystem also innovates a decent bit. I think it punches above its weight on the HN front page.

It is a healthy ecosystem and seems to grow.

Having literally done it in an enterprise setting (and participated in experiments for some of the largest companies in the world in their respective domain fields), I have to say: your lack of nuance and abundance of arrogance does not come across very well.

It is important to distinguish between something being impossible, infeasible and not well understood. Fine-tuning "for effect" is mostly the latter.

You say "current fine-tuning techniques can only contribute to knowledge indirectly" and then in the next post row back to "except in toy examples" because the former is - literally - not correct.

This is HN. We are not advising clients on how "to get their data into their AI best". We can discuss here the actual technical detail of a thing. An intellectually honest discussion begins with saying: "From a scientific standpoint, and even from a practical standpoint, we are not sure yet, however..."
You should edit your comment to specify that you are referring to Type 2 diabetes. As stated in the article, infection by coronavirus and many other viruses can trigger Type 1 diabetes through autoimmune reactions. (Which I think most people would interpret as "directly causes" for all practical purposes.)
The article is about one renter in one building that offers some rather unusual accommodations that aren't typical for SF. It's not about SF housing issues in general. That's what you decided to talk about.
Except now you can handle name collisions by renaming imports. If you have two modules that share a name, you can rename them in the import line (e.g. in Haskell or Go). Without modules though if you have two libraries which used the same prefix for their functions, now the compiler will complain about redefinitions and the linker will complain about symbol collisions.
Its not default.

My mother doesn't know how to turn off the phone, toggle airplane mode/wifi or use the app switcher... She refuses to learn because its not worth her time. I have family, friends and such that similarly refuse to learn basic things, much less go seek out an ad blocker and learn how to use it for an interface (the web browser) they think they rarely use.

Also, on mobile, it is kinda tricky because you can install an adblock browser, but the app selection is kinda iffy, and it won't replace the unfiltered system webview.
That wasn't the question -- the question was why a 125mph train takes the same time to travel as it takes a 70mph car to make the same trip from station to station? Calling it a "125mph" train (because that's its max speed) when the average speed is 68mph seems dishonest.

I've used beanstalkd for personal projects previously with a similar experience to you.

For one such project, the message 'priority' feature was a life saver and a feature that is not super common in competing solutions.
If you’re interested in hard-to-parse English relative clauses, check out the first sentence of George Washington’s first inaugural address:

> If you mess up the tables in one database it doesn't affect others, but if you lock up the server where it can't respond to queries, that affects every database running on that server.

How is it different from: putting multiple queues on same redis, when one queue is locked up, others queue are affected?

If that's a real risk, you can always put them into different instances.
The solution is exactly the same for redis or postgresql
Awesome stuff. Seems legit, very keen tonsee thr results once their human trial concludes.

Even with Clear and first class seats, SEA is no picnic, I try to fly out of Paine Field any time I can... for an international flight, I'll even drive up to Vancouver to avoid SEA.
By your logic, a PII 400 MHz came in 1997 and you are running software that was released 4 years after that processor did. So instead of figuring out how to run something that works very well, you're just ... complaining.

I agree with the fact that I could be doing this exercise in DOS with 80 columns on whatever and see what is the best environment I can live with. I actually do have a productive DOS environment as well.

And If I were doing that exercise, I'd be trying to see if I can add more stuff to it (PCPaint, DOSAMP etc.) to find out what works and what doesn't. And document it for the benefit of other people.

What is stopping you from figuring out what works for your PII 400 MHz?

A huge chunk of PNW is wet salty air. That corrodes things pretty badly. This isn't as bad of a problem in southern coastal cities like Los Angeles because the air ends up being drier, even close to the ocean.

Regular rail cars don't last a long time under PNW conditions.
It would be trivial to implement a battery charge log.

Generally, we agree that making sacrifices for the good of others is good morals. High rates of having children out of wedlock, and divorce, are caused in significant part by unwillingness to make the sacrifices that would ensure a stable, financially secure home for children. These days, it’s often because men lack morals and are unwilling to sacrifice personal freedom to enter and stay in marriages, to the detriment of children.

Divorce has tremendous negative consequences on children. The childhood poverty rate for children of married couples is under 7%. For the children of single parents it’s over 37%. A Stanford study found that children of divorce die five years earlier than children of intact families.

See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4240051/ (“The best scientific literature to date suggests that, with the exception of parents faced with unresolvable marital violence, children fare better when parents work at maintaining the marriage.”).

We trust you with million dollar business decisions but please swipe here so we know you spend time in the office.

Infantilizing and stupid. I’ve come to the conclusion that most of this is about reminding people they are wage slaves, nothing else.

The same executives, even at Met, are excluding themselves from these rules and are holding court on zoom from Hawaii, Lake Tahoe or god knows where.
This would make a fantastic 3d image.
A lot of tradespeople refuse or ignore PPE. It's mostly macho men, the kind who don't go to the doctor, and smoke and believe it won't cause them cancer. Another fact: scant few men who work outside wear sunscreen. There were multiple generations of these kind of people on my mom's side of the family, and they inevitably died prematurely of preventable conditions.

A modern example: I've seen gravestone engravers completely covered in stone dust while wearing only a thin handkerchief; no hearing, eye, or proper lung protection. Sure they should know the risks but you can't force people to not smoke tobacco or use proper PPE.

I assume the parent comment was only referring to Type 2 diabetes and made a sibling comment to that affect. However, while we're on the topic, I suppose one can ask why some people have the autoimmune reaction that triggers T1D. Presumably there are genetic, lifestyle, or environmental factors that lead to it, just like celiac or Hashimoto's, etc.
Wenders filmed scenes in Japanese capsule pod hotels of the time ... it's relative to be sure but IMHO these are closer to the rentable pods depicted in the article than the scenes from the Jodorowsky movie.

The motivation here was admittedly to respond to one arthouse film drop with another.

I'm kind of old and while not in the film and TV business I've been tangential enough to work as an extra, tech runner, location support etc for various productions - notably in Berlin for Wings of Desire and in Australia (where I live) for some of the central Australian location work for Until the End of the World.

Perhaps, after the AI singularity, it will become trendy for us all to LARP our former jobs for amusement.
It leads to shortages in a competitive market and lower margins in an uncompetitive market.

But if you have an uncompetitive market on purpose as a result of patents meant to increase margins to fund R&D, a law capping prices is a screw up because it was meant to be the way it was.

Whereas if you have an uncompetitive market unintentionally as a result of some other regulatory failure, a law capping prices is a screw up because you're not actually lowering margins from 2500% to 1000%, you're just raising them from the ~5% they ought to be to 1000% instead of 2500%, which is still bad.
With this approach dentistry can finally move away from being basically a glorified tooth repair shop, and usher in the 21st century with modern approaches.

> I knew Los Gatos was well known for being an incredibly wealthy zip code but I had no idea it was pretty much the #1 most expensive city in the USA.

How is Los Gatos remotely the #1 most expensive city in the USA? Even just in the Bay Area, there are many pricier places (Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, Palo Alto, ). Then there's Beverly Hills, many other parts of LA, NYC, Hamptons, Cape Cod, etc.

Regardless, Los Gatos pretty close to much less-expensive areas, including areas like San Jose, which have lots of dense housing. These areas are pricier than most of America, but they're among the more affordable parts of the Peninsula/South Bay.
I know this is asking a lot, but do you have a reading list/ any other type of media format playlist that you want to recommend? I ask because your comment was incisive.

Covid was definitely a healthier time for me - I didn't consume a drop of alcohol for almost a year and my mother (who I was staying with) leaned into cooking so I ended up not eating a single repeated meal for almost 6 months.

Did lots of walks and outdoor workouts, got a tonne of sunlight and vitamin D

On the other hand, just within my own friend group my experiences were quite polar and many of my friends tripled their alcohol intake or ate even more unhealthy take-out food or would start baking cakes and cookies everyday...

Why do most hackers work on software projects?
Why do most hackers work on software projects? Explore how Public Good Staking is changing the game for frontier technology development. Read here: https://research.dorahacks.io/2023/09/22/frontier-staking/

In the era of open source software, universities are terrible places to learn how to develop software, or transform an idea into a product.

Hackers can build new products based on open platform technologies. To be more clear here, an open platform technology is one that is not exclusive or restricted to a specific group of developers; it is accessible to a diverse range of people for development purposes.

However, it’s important to note that an open platform technology does not have to be open source.

Starship, by SpaceX, can be categorized as an open platform technology, as it offers a universal platform for myriad developmental ideas, given its substantial volume and potentially reduced costs for space payloads. Generally, SpaceX does not impose restrictions on use cases or user demographics. Even if it does, alternative providers from varying jurisdictions would likely emerge, offering comparable technologies. For hackers, the design of payloads becomes a compelling endeavor, with well-conceived payloads potentially birthing successful startups.

Another example is quantum computers. The majority of quantum computing hardware is proprietary, akin to the Mac computer and operating system. However, hackers can develop useful algorithms and distinctive applications on quantum computers, facing considerably less competition than they would when developing for Mac or Windows.

The owner of a platform technology does not invariably dictate its applications and, more often than not, cannot monopolize its use cases. A company specializing in quantum computers may not necessarily offer the most prevalent algorithm on its platform, much like the most popular applications on the iPhone are not developed by Apple.

Developing platform technology often necessitates substantial capital and resources, particularly when it involves hardware and manufacturing. It’s not a prerequisite to assume that every hacker is equipped to develop a platform technology from scratch. Instead, hackers can swiftly develop groundbreaking applications with relatively minimal initial capital and resources, leveraging existing platform technologies.

Public Good Staking essentially involves allocating a portion of a blockchain network’s incentives to fund innovative ideas and developers' activities, all without compromising the network’s protocol security. For Proof of Stake (PoS) networks, adopting Public Good Staking can offer long-term benefits by providing sustained funding to developers and the broader ecosystem. Given the current rate of adoption, we are poised to transform the way PoS ecosystems fund hackers’ projects and ventures over time.

We? I don't think I am part of your team.

Yes, your message has a point, but don't delute it by using sloppy language.
Unfortunately `serial` is not sufficient on it's own for that use case. If you observe the values 1, 2, and 4, you can't actually conclude whether 3 exists or not. That transaction may have failed after incrementing the serial, meaning 3 does not exist, or it may be an ongoing transaction which hasn't yet committed, meaning 3 exists but is not yet visible to you.

So if you update your offset to 4 before the transaction for 3 commits, you'll lose 3 forever (unless you control for this, eg by periodically detecting & requeueing orphaned jobs, or by using a strictly serial/gap free integer rather than the built in auto incrementing type).
you are correct, sir. Sorry to Daniel.
This is a good idea. If you are concerned about how people might object to the usage of one word, it is best to use another without looking up the definition. It’s a sign of a germane turgid intellect, heretofore.
I like how GCP cloud tasks reverses the model. Instead of workers pinging the server asking for work, have the queue ping the worker and the worker is effectively a http endpoint. So you send a message to the server, it queues it and then pings a worker with the message.

I assume the ability to create new "Mojang" accounts has been closed a looong time ago in favor of the Microsoft logins. The migration from those accounts started over a year ago and they have sent multiple emails about this migration.
That's fascinating. RST packets are being generated by a malicious entity out there just throwing them around, to the point that the chances of that approaches 1. I've not seen this in the wild. Most firewalls I've seen will just silently start blocking packets if the connection is quiet for long enough, and not generate an RST. Is there anything you can share about your corner of the Internet where this is common?
Why not something akin to "fixed-offset cursor"? Actual cursor/pointer is always a centimeter above the finger position (thus always visible [bottom of the screen to be handled as a special case]), and finger movements manipulate position, while hold duration accesses alternate modes.

For a somewhat similar implementation (touchscreen is essentially handled as touchpad) look at how Teamviewer handles remote sessions to Windows desktop from smartphones.

I would really like any/all of those as a toggle-on mode for use on Android itself... selecting text with arthritis fingers is a pain – literally and figuratively.
It baffles me so much when people put ecology out of the question. Great Netflix is shutting down the business that produces so much unneeded plastic. Sad others would gladly keep that business forever when it makes money. Fuck the planet, hell yeah.
Inefficient hacks are often worse than nothing because they remove the momentum behind fixing the underlying problem. You reduce the margin from 2500% to 1000% and think you're helping, but what you're really doing is condemning yourself to paying a 1000% margin forever because it's now below the threshold that people get outraged enough to do something about it.
Degeneracy is positioned as "tolerance" while traditional morality is repositioned as "hate".

"Reality TV" shows like "Ridiculousness" (hour upon hour of groin-shots) resemble what the movie "Idiocracy" portrayed in 2006 ("Ow! My Balls!").

When "hits" like "Jackass" are given platform and marketed toward youth who partially identify with Steve-O and his band of drop-outs, even though they aren't shown as heroes the emphasis is on the humor of their hijinks not the disastrous consequences of having given themselves wholly to wanton self-destruction.

"The Bachelor/Bachelorette", "Married at First Sight", "Real Housewives of [place]", etc - play on the commoditization of intimate relationships, reducing life partners down to nothing except the degree to which they approximate the standard as presented within the media - a status symbol: as either a Sex Object or a Success Object, and only to the degree that it fits with one's need for narcissistic validation.

I didn't see "Cocaine Bear" but I have heard of "Straw Man" - maybe it's the same thing.

Because different software has different requirements. Not having an external service requirement other than Postgres might be a feature of an on-prem/b2b appliance.

Because some software may be projected never outgrow the capabilities of Postgres, and if it does moving to another service can be made very easy.

Because you want a transitional job system and the simplicity of doing it in Postgres.
My college had a few different collection times, and the apartment usually delivered in the morning. So I could get a DVD in the mail, rip it, drop it off, and it would be picked up same-day. Netflix would get it the next morning.
