Personal experience: We moved multiple PostgreSQL servers including a large one using 32 vCPUs to the equivalent ARM based instances, and the performance was about the same, but of course ARM instances are less expensive.
It's not intended to invalidate the approach (again, I participate in the same manner as OP). But free-market capitalism's (well studied) failure mode is natural monopoly and _that_ really can't be fixed without further intervention. Preventing megacorp monopoly isn't something you can do by simply swaying the individual's dollar vote. Or maybe I'm missing some example in history?

Thanks for bringing this up. There is no reason for modern languages that have proper constants (not preprocessor macros which happen to sometimes be used for them) to use this tedious style.

Constants are so innocent and useful. Why indirectly discourage their use by making their usage an eye-bleed?

Did you try sleeping earlier? If you regularly sleep at 01:00, then you won't be able to wake up at 06:00. If you go to sleep at 22:00 then it's not as impossible as you think.
This is definitely true in the case of phones, but not for computers. NVDA on Windows is excellent and improving all the time.

These days I sleep at around 8, and it made it much easier for me to get up at 5 and still get 8 hours of sleep. And then I have energy to do basically anything in those early hours.

If I even get just 6 hours, I immediately feel crankiness the next day.
Why 24 fps format is still being used? I personally can't stand it. It's like watching a slide show.

I can't wait when Hollywood moves to 120fps or better.
Thanks for the reminder! I no longer will hold the belief that OJ was guilty!
my understanding of this is that Windows definitely makes it easier to write keylogging software etc. which of course also turns into making it easy to do all sorts of other keyboard things like hotkeys etc. (or perhaps I should say Windows makes it easy to write all sorts of hotkey, keyboard manipulating tools which means writing bad things like keyloggers etc. is also super easy)

This (again my limited understanding) is why AutoHotKey has not been successfully ported to Mac, because it is either not technically possible
to achieve or time required would make it not worthwhile.
To be fair I do think they do that on line 27. They have a table of deltas which they then materialize manually in a different table (which presumably only has one row?). And amusingly link them with foreign keys. ORMs make for some weird schemas, this looks like how I might do it MongoDB.

But to your point; if this code is written honestly, it's pretty weird that we don't see any code to post a transaction to the blockchain, or to verify that the funds are available to be allocated to the insurance funds. You would think that would happen before you wrote the new total to the database.

Declan here - appreciated your role/team description, looks like a great team culture. Applied :)
I've written down (typed) my thoughts for almost 20 years now. They're mostly just some sort of ideas that pop in my head; usually inspired by something I've read. Lot of them are just app / business ideas. Usually a few ideas a day.

Not sure if it's been helpful in any way.
Yeah, I struggle to read my own handwriting sometimes. If an interviewer would require len and paper it would be ... interesting.
Hallmark of a technically skilled organisation when their people choose to use something like LaTeX, LibreOffice, Markdown, etc. :)

(Or when they spoof the metadata!)
Yeah, it depends on what you want from a document management system. If you've got a bunch of searchable PDFs, then storing them in a cloud service might well be sufficient. Paperless-NGX adds OCR to the mix (probably more useful for scanned paper images) and also tags. When I add a document, it fills in the best guess for correspondent, document type and appropriate tags, which tends to be accurate for common documents (e.g. payslips, statements) and usually only needs me to change them if it's from someone new.

What I find most useful is grouping together holiday documents such as travel insurance, holiday booking details, passports etc. and assigning a suitable tag, so I can easily find the relevant info. You could easily replicate that by copying those documents into a separate folder for easy access, but with Paperless-NGX it does most of the organisation for you and the search is more flexible as you can specify what kind of document you're looking for and who it came from.
This is a real shame. It was much better than eBay was if you were into obscure/esotric stuff with low press counts. I don't collect as much as I used to because I spend less time listening to music that I used to, but I got a lot of stuff off Discogs that I only got because I marked that I was looking.
In my experience it mostly depends on the size of the piece. Commercial 3D printing can produce beautiful and strong objects, but they are size limited and the price goes up fast with the size.

Laser cutting can be quite big and make a large volume box, if that's what you need. And transparent plexi is nice (if it fits your needs).
Ask HN: Are CAPTCHA's Getting Easier?
One CAPTCHA that seems pretty common at the moment is pointing an animal in the direction of a finger, either N, NE, E, SE, etc... by clicking a button to change the animals current direction.

It just occurred to me that there is a 1/8 chance of being assigned the correct position to begin with. I created a new account on Twitter to check and, after three tries, got one pointing in the right direction.

Why are these CAPTCHA's a thing? 12.5% of bots will pass this by clicking the submit button straight away. Am I missing something?
Ask HN: LLM in Lab Environment
Hi folks, AI newbie here,

How to run LLM-based experiments in lab environment? I'm a PhD student focusing on system security, and recently we are trying to catch the trend and find some security issues in LLM training. However, it seems tricky to me on how to set up the environment or simulations. We can buy few A100/H800, is there a standard way to get started?

Funny enough, the take on const in the only thing I agree with in the whole post…
Indeed.

I even had a MiniDisc car stereo. So much better than CDs, you could just let them rattle around in the glove box and they didn't get scratched.
Many congratulations to you!
I’m optimistic.

> "batteries, SSD, many things, will not any longer be sealed into the product but will be available for the customer to be to repaired on site and then save a lot of waste."

Not a lot of servers have sealed batteries or SSDs. It definitely sounds like more consumer/user oriented devices. Servers are already very modular and field serviceable.
Reading this after staying awake all night.

I wish I had control over my sleep like others seem to. It would be awesome if I could pass out at 10pm and wake up 8am. That kind of schedule is just impossible for me though. Night time is when my brain kicks into gear and then when I finally do sleep, I find it extremely difficult to wake up.

These days I'm sleeping between roughly 7am to 4pm. Recently I slept 18 hours. If I could fix it somehow I would. It's completely out of my control.

I don't like the turns on red, it makes things a little harder. Here, where we don't have that rule, they put in a little cutaway lane on the intersections where you can turn to avoid the lights. Usually with a stop sign or a merging lane. It makes it unambiguous.

Although, in the area I live there's only one set of traffic lights within an hours drive, and they're in a kids playground for learning road rules.
What is USD “backed by”? It’s not gold and it’s not any USG promise to pay.

Stablecoins don’t need to be backed by anything to be stable. I agree with most of what you say, but that doesn’t actually refute my point that stablecoins are, in fact, more stable than most cryptocurrencies. They are more than stable enough to use for a payment aggregation layer for a few days.

I even agree with you about Tether being a fraud; I still use USDT every day (with that knowledge) because it is, well, stable. One day it won’t be, but most days, it is.
CRT Shaders
Yeah, not seeing this as a valid defense. Either his activities were fraudulent, or they weren't. At most, this sort of sympathy play could influence sentencing.

Anyway, speaking as a nerd, no: he cannot be that stupid. He's a billionaire from misappropriating his customers' funds. That's pretty black-and-white. He just hoped that crypto would go up forever, letting him steal more funds to cover up the last batch.
this “assault on senses” is normal in these Chinese/Asian shopping apps, even the more “standard” ones. I know more the SEA ones than Chinese ones but they are all like this.

I don’t know who likes it, but it obviously works, as everyone over there is doing it.

As it should be. Businesses should pay a living wage, and tips should only be absolutely voluntary, and without incitement.
They held my laptop in repair for almost three weeks to get a replacement keyboard, then tried to charge me over £1000 GBP (near the cost of the laptop) to replace the mainboard citing "water damage". The laptop was fine except for the keyboard.

I'm getting a Framework next and will never buy a Thinkpad again.
Nope, I am not an emacs user.

I was merely pointing out that if you need something, the correct way is to do it and share, not asking the plebe to do it for you. Moreso when it comes to something trivial that do not requires a lot of knowledge and time like...converting some themes.
Why not? If it’s truly about the environment then everyone should pay based on their environmental impact. Sure, if carbon/methane/whatever can be shown to have a higher environmental impact when emitted at altitude or whatever, take that into account.

But placing the environment second to specifically target the “luxury” as some sort of way to “get” the rich is only harming your case.
I have been to Cludj. Quite beautifull.
Next time I travel to Romania, I should really try to go down this mine because it looks amazing...
Romania, which has a poor reputation as a touristic country (from France where I live at least) wass really the best surprise this year for me:
- Wonderfull historic city like brazov,
- Many wonderfull Castles,
- Wonderfull countryside.
I'm trying to think... I've had about 30 contracts and a lot more interviews than that.

The only one I remember that involved a sheet of paper was 20 printed pages of code which I had to find the bugs in. And that was actually quite a fun exercise. (I did apparently find more bugs than most, I also subsequently found some bugs in their contract and NDA.)
I did the same thing and although it seems like a trackpoint is essential, trackpads are really good now and there isn't a huge difference imo.

>you don’t need to enter food desert territory when you buy a house in one of the many smaller CA cities/towns.

You don't, but I'm talking about a very specific area of a very specific state (one larger than some countries) in a very specific location. One where I was in fact raised. You are free to instead go directly North to Bakersfield where prices rise slightly, or west to Thousand Oaks where prices go back to LA prices. I simply don't recommend East/NE of the high desert unless you are a huge fan of tumbleweeds and dust storms.

>buying a house can be an investment but living in a larger one than you need is wasting a productive asset

I don't really consider an extra room a waste. Even if I end up alone I can use that room as a gym or an office or just as storage (storage costs are also way out of whack these days. Owning an extra room is legitimately cheaper).

There's also the fact that half the rooms isn't equal to half the cost. It's more cost effective to add an extra room if you anticipate a family.
Why do people care about soldered ram? It's so cheap, just get 64GB when you buy it if that is what you want.
I've just recently started using Ardour after wanting to do so for years. Once you learn the basics like tracks vs. busses and how to use EQ/compressor/limiter plugins it stops feeling daunting. Unfa's tutorials on YouTube were a lot of help.
A surprising number of these tools don't support HTTP/2, sadly.

While opening up a index.js file only to discover that it exports nothing but variables and functions from other files is disappointing, the pattern that a folder has a formalized entry point does make it easier to navigate and comprehend projects.

And especially _since_ CD's are no longer so super ubiqutuous and important, why is there this kind of 'innovation' happening?

That's simply not true.

Well, if you say so.
It would require a massive overhaul of the tax code in every state, not to mention that it would require state-by-state coordination because Congress cannot force them to comply. Other countries do it because their constitution generally does not include a clause like the Tenth Amendment.

But wow, the things it would do to national marketing. Imagine an iPhone launch. Tim Cook gets to the pricing slide and it says, "Starting at $1099 in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Check your local store for your pricing in your location." That's our cue to mentally add our local tax rate like we do already, now with the added benefit of feeling bad about where we live.
It also depends on the size of the boat. I've been on a large yacht catamaran[0] that did 16 knots. It was fast, but not terrifyingly so on a boat that big. I bet it could go quite a bit faster if the owner was willing to push it, but he wasn't because it was also his home.

I don't think macOS users have any more or less responsibility paying for this software than Linux users. $100 compared to the development resources that went into this is nothing, and the developers realised that, too.
Unless you are working in a single process script, barrel file is almost unavoidable. A typical nodejs app will often be split in many packages, requiring barrel file anyway.

This is a smartphone camera, so of course the aperture is fixed. Playing around with the app, it does not seem to automatically adjust shutter speed to match changes in ISO. Reducing the ISO does make the image darker – presumably just not as much as OP expected.

See, that's the problem, people are worried that if they don't tip that employee is going to do something to their food. That's absolutely disgusting. Maybe I should piss on the dollar before I give it to them?
Can I ask why more manufacturers don't implement apple's strategy with soc with ram and all and offer option to add additional classic ram as a slower cache buffer between soc&ssd? This should both solve the lack of upgradability and unlock more performance per watt?
I guess those numbers explain why so few have tried.

Mind you, these are much higher speeds. I looked it up, and the motor boat speed record is over 500 km/h.
I wonder what falls under this "access to data" law.

Say Anna and Benjamin have email accounts with the same provider.

Anna sends an email to Benjamin.

Anna deletes the email from her outbox.

The provider still knows that Anna sent the email and the content. Because it is still in Benjamin's inbox.

When Anna requests access to everything the provider knows about her - does the provider have to give her the email from Benjamin's inbox?
Of course plenty of people are confused, the overhead of "short/long" just makes no sense, but yet another bad design from the past carefully preserved
I came back to C after a good long time in Go, and I found that my C style had picked up some of these same good ideas, which I attributed to Go. In particular I also swore off NUL terminated strings, and started using structure returns to send back multiple values.
If I could go back 10 years and talk to myself from the past, I would definitely tell myself: get away from that screen from time to time, especially on weekends. Buy a cheap 4x4 and GET OUT THERE. Get exercise, get fresh air, get to see the world through your own eyes instead of through a 2D screen, get physically tired, AVOID if possible any alcohol intake (this is a whole different topic, but alcohol might destroy your sleep, even if you only drink occasionally).

I wish I had done it 10 years ago, when my sleep quality and quantity were just depressingly low. These days even with small children I have better quality of sleep than I used to have back then when I would spend hours and hours in front of a computer screen (at work and after work as a hobby).

1. They are giving you all the tools needed to work in a professional way in a professional setting. This includes many things like being able to set all the camera settings manually, good metering to avoid clipping the sensor, audio metering to avoid clipping the recorder, timecode synchronization with other cameras & audio recorders, LUT preview, etc.

2. The "cinematic look" comes from a combination of things:

- good lighting (using professional lights in most situations)

- 180 degree shutter angle (aka "24fps"), or slow motion where appropriate

- careful and artistic color grading

- taking time to set up the scene in advance & good framing

- good lenses

- good camera sensors (mainly, high dynamic range)

- holding the camera still or moving it smoothly through the scene (except when deliberately not, as in for instance The Office)

- music

- and, more important than you'd think: very high quality audio (good mics, appropriately mic'd, low noise, dubbed in post if needed, SFX added)

3. In short, what creates the "cinematic look" is many factors (and, usually, people) coming together as a system. This app lets your phone be part of that system.

4. What makes this app unique: (1) it integrates directly with Davinci Resolve in a way that's probably more convenient than Filmic Pro for that workflow and (2) it's free.

People have been making films and TV shows on iPhones for years, so this is more of an incremental event in the industry.

> So shifting through many garbages to find the one(or two) golden ones is a good effort.

I guess that's my trick, then. Somehow I can filter out garbage by just:

- reading the job ad

- reading the company's website/social media

- checking who's working for such company (e.g., linkedin profile of employees)

It takes around 1-2h for me to check a company. That's why I only submit very few applications: because I know the companies I'm applying for are not the bad ones.
It is very rarely a "black or white" decision.

The choice is not between licking the boots of your boss or instead doing meaningful work; it is not between earning a lot of money and doing boring work or instead earning not as much and doing entertaining work; not between eating like a pig or maniacally counting calories and macros.

Most of the time, the choice is between not saying something to your team or boss that will probably not be in your favor when you submit your promo package, or being one of those heroes who metaphorically dies in a battle that no one actually cares about.

It is between skipping the pack of Oreos for today in favor of some chicken and rice, not between being full or starving.

I find difficulty sleeping also depends on what I read before going to sleep. If I read books I sleep much easier and deeper than if I browse Reddit. I think the alarmism, sensationalism, and aggression triggers the nervous system and fills the mind with worthless thoughts which in turn prevents the falling a sleep.
I subtract those from the tip.
