And this is just for working in the browser. Once you your product is big enough you just know there will be requests for a native app on mobile. Oh but also the mobile version of the website needs to keep working. So now you're adding in requirements of learning Swift, Java, and the platform specific UI frameworks/SDKs.

How hard is it to debug shaders? I admit I’ve only written like two shaders for WebGL and I found it to feel like a black box I feed code into and see what I get out the other end.
It is on premises. You interact with the rack the same way you interact with the public cloud: as a pool of resources. The specifics are abstracted away. “Private cloud” is pretty well established terminology in this space, and that’s what we’re doing.

I might be missing something, but I thought the whole point of cloud was to get rid of on prem setups.

If users wanted to save some money, why not just implement a hybrid cloud system?

> Curious about HN's stance on carrying Google's water

Well if you search for things like "Google anti-trust docs"[1] you can see HN is ostensibly less interested than the rest of the media in Google's lawyer's scorched-earth blockade of public access to the trial documents and testimony. A lot of the actual material benefits that Google extracted from its anti-competitive schemes have been redacted or explained in closed-door testimony. Curious readers show know that stories like the OP are ones that Google's lawyers want you to focus on rather than what's not being shown. As bad as OP looks, it must be seen in the context of Google hiding other information for the public.

e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
That isn't "selling user data". They don't get personal identifiers unless you visit the search results page.
That sounds like the beginning of a slice-of-life movie... Withinboredom and the luggage guy became great pals, travelled the world together, started a business, met their spouses... until something dramatic happened, the link was severed, and now Withinboredom longs for the times they spent together, underlining how fleeting existence is, how every day is precious, etc etc.
The tone went from rough-and-tumble, big tent libertarianism to hate filled right wing politics. From weird and funny to stupid and rude. I didn't want to be contaminated by that thinking or have my name associated with it, so I moved to Reddit where eventually the same thing happened.

There's some kind of Godwin's Law corollary here that revolves around whether your board removes "I'm just asking questions" posts or not.
I thought Russia was on its last legs! The media tells me so since last year.
I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have been. What were the two races? Note that they had the same skin tone, or very close. Is Cuban a race?
>In my experience 30 FPS is perfectly fine for a game like this, I'm not sure what do you mean about "scrolling" ?

A top down city sim 'scrolls' up/down/left/right around a map, which is a movement that is strongly associated to screen tearing -- which i'm not really sure is a relevant thing to bring up given the variety of v-sync options available.

Even a game locked at 30fps that 'scrolls' often shouldn't experience significant tearing with the options out there.
I tend to spam every HN post that mentions TurboTax, but I've been using https://freetaxusa.com for a number of years and it's easier than TurboTax, and is feature equivalent, without nearly as many upsells or gross practices.

I'm sure that some day, this will change, but for now, it's been great.
They said the people who claim to know more than actual designers will want it pixel perfect. So i.e. The designer knows pixel perfect is a fallacy, the client doesn't care and wants a pixel perfect match of their figma document on their personal laptop screen.
It's also not clear if it's good for most of us in the U.S. so yeah I get you
Fantastic, just the other day I was thinking to myself that the legal system would really benefit from being even less logical.
Have you seen Apple Maps recently? It’s great. I switched over a few month ago.
Can't you bring the parts to a skilled technician and have them do the labor?
> You may personally not find that useful, but clearly people do.

How is that clear? I understand that someone inside Apple decided this was a good idea, perhaps for aesthetic reasons, but that's not the same as being clearly useful to people.
Pretty sure if your choice comes down to weighing the secondary effects of spinach vs viagra, you'd still want to choose the spinach.

The identified and unidentified side effects of most pharmaceuticals, and viagra in particular, are far more concerning than whatever may shake out of a plausibly realistic increase in dietary oxalates.

That's not to say one can't or shouldn't make a reasonable choice to take viagra, but the oxalates in spinach shouldn't be a very relevant factor in one's decision-making.
Maybe I just travel light, but how is this more convenient than taking your luggage with you in a taxi/Uber to the hotel you are staying at? Waiting hours for luggage to show up seems pretty inconvenient?
The older I get, and the more my knowledge of poetry has expanded, the more turned off I am by the doggerel that most popular-music lyrics are. My rock listening is increasingly limited to shoegaze, a genre where the vocals get so submerged in the mix, you can’t even make out the words and nothing hinders you from enjoying the pure sound.
Seems like it, though he mentions in the post that you can call pledge (without "unveil") after unveil to prevent further changes (and it'll handle committing the changes on Linux, which isn't necessary on OpenBSD), to achieve the same thing.
> True communist states wouldn’t necessarily thrive on a lack of privacy, but totalitarian and capitalist systems have and would.

Reference to “communist states” refers to real (as “existing in the real world”, not “adhering to real communist ideology”) states that have claimed Communism as the end-goal of their ideology (all of which have embraced a totalitarian state-capitalist praxis for all or most of their existence.)

It is true that the surveillance is more related to the totalitarian, state capitalist praxis than either the claimed Communist ideology or any other actual ideology the praxis may have sought to realize.
> Cheaper launches could also indirectly make the build cost a lot cheaper.

This seems very handwavy. It appears space telescopes are actually more expensive because space telescopes are really expensive, not because it’s hard to move them to space.

Yes better/cheaper launches would reduce the risk, but that risk is 100% baked into the design and cost of the launch. There’s nothing the payload can do to mitigate the risk of the rocket failing, so there’s no reason to think x% of the telescope’s cost is actually due to the risk of the launch itself.
ok, if the bird's natural speed is that of the ambient air, then how does it stay up? the bird is not lighter than air, so where does the upwards pressure on the bird come from? either the bird must flap its wings to stay up or there must be speed difference between the bird and the ambient air to generate lift.
Learn implies change, but it's stateless.

What you are seeing a nice trick from the chatGPT application where they are keeping the history of your conversation (not in it's entirety, but a sort of summarized version), and in a single turn feeding it all back in.

In a single turn it can be told to use word x to mean y and generate output, but I don't think that's "learning".

Cloud is a deployment model. Rent be own is an ownership model. You can do all four combinations.

If you’re trying to implement a hybrid cloud solution, with part of it being on-prem, you would be in the market for hardware that to use in that implementation. We are now vendors of such.
Yeah: an pre-alpha toy project, and a blog post. Dan Abramov shipped a toy implementation too in a blog post right, I think you missed that?

When I said actual I meant it. RSC is a Next.js feature baked into React.

PS: I'm not the target market for Vercel, Mr. Robinson. I think you can skip the damage control for my comments: I don't have your reach so maybe just pretend it's an old man yelling (very truthful things) at the clouds, it can't actually hurt your PR machine.
This is akin to worrying that the sky is falling when literally two drops of rain fell.

this is why car analogies are dangerous :)

I would argue a dealer telling you about a major defect directly before you buy the car is a bit different than a post on some forums that the product they're selling is not well made.

I would suggest it's not reasonable to expect that someone buying a game has to do research on a forum to know the game is unfinished -- if it's being sold as a finished game it's reasonable to expect it's in a playable state. the original post was meaning to say it would be unheard of for other products to allow companies to sell known unfinished products as finished products, even with the promise of completing the product. and consumers would similarly balk at such a proposal for virtually any other object.

it was more the absurdity of the different way games are treated which is anti-consumer.
Even without tearing, a high framerate is very desirable for scrolling around a map or web page. For instance, iphones are widely praised for excelling in this regard. It's just easier on the eyes if things on screen move smoothly when you scroll/pan around, it's less fatiguing.
This is, of course, the same mechanism that allows appending to an ArrayList in Java to be O (1), or at least amortized too such
For which narrowly defined version of 'fine'? The only people thinking we're doing fine are those profiting from exploitation.
I never really got the point of doing that as opposed to just a regular linear 100% fill which is a lot less stress on the motors and belts.
At scale - Facebook, google, OpenAI, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Regarding ads - Don't get me wrong - I hate obnoxious ads, i dislike moving ads, and noisy ads and colourful ads and ad-sites that farm content from other sites to show ads etc. And I think the more obtrusive they get they just harm themselves in the long run. But, I also appreciate that for most content outlets this is the only way to support themselves (except my last example - that has no excuse).

And regarding tracking - personally if I am to see ads, i rather them be relevant at least, and not random. When asked if I want to be tracked or see random ads, i select the former. purely personal preference.

And also: pihole. Seriously. I turn it on and the ads disappear. The net is clean and faster on all devices in the house.
Virtually every Unity game ever that does a non-trivial level of background simulation has considerable jank. There’s just a point where you hav wot say - look - Unity games consistently have performance issues at some point it’s legit to just call it a poorly performing platform.
You absolutely do have to use Lambda to integrate your call center with Salesforce. Your call center agents use their familiar Salesforce screen when a customer calls in.

But you’re so concerned with “cloud lock in” and you completely ignore the other 200+ services that the average enterprise is using. Why are you so concerned with the cloud, but not Salesforce, ServiceNow, Sharepoint, Okta, Azure AD, etc?

It makes no technical sense to spend developer time and add complexity to create an ETL job to do what a simple SQL statement can do.

None of this is “making the beer taste better”.

I’ve shared by credentials up thread - 2 years heading a migration and integration when a private equity owned health care company was acquiring companies to get big and go public, 3 years leading the application modernization effort for another company that was acquired at 10x revenue and three years working at AWS in the Professional Services department and now building out a professional services practice for an MSP for applications modernization.

And before that over 20 years as a professional developer

i think this is great for cases where you need to do something before going to the hotel, or after you check out.

e.g. you check out at 11am, but you need to get on your flight at 8pm. you either leave it at the hotel, they might hold on to it, but you still need to go back for the bag. or you lug it around for a day. or you stay in the airport way too long.

also it sounds like you can do it a few days in advance, in which case your bag just goes without you on your travel, before you show up.
Don't know exactly which exact model is decathlon using (once I get home I'll see if any of my equipment still has its tags attached), but I found tags at less than ten cents buying 5000 units rolls from a random US distributor [0]. So being French both Decathlon and Tageos, and with the volume they must buy, no doubt they can get to 5 cents or so.

Not using metal, I guess Pulpatronics could also do local factories more easily, needing "only" paper (and lasers). Easier to do JIT production or smaller batches I imagine.

Is there any reliable way of recognizing GAN-generated photos? It seems the suupposed authors here probably have AI faked photos as well.
Sure for a content-site template, blog, or something else fairly basic. This is not at all the case for things like art-directed super-custom designed sites like magazines, fashion brands, museums, etc, OR highly complex interactive SAAS web apps like the ones I work on. These have lots of unique considerations like complex animations, layered menus and controls, optimizing for change from mouse to touch interactions, handling the higher rate of people who use zoomed text on mobile devices, adapting to device safe areas in portrait and landscape, etc.

I am a designer and HTML/CSS coder so I am aware of the challenges from both directions.
I'm not sure what the UI/UX similarity is between those websites that you're comparing, but I do know one thing : those websites are too big to radically change without a lot of thoughtful time considering the outcome.

Well, each of those companies has a lot of people saying the same thing against a tide of people that say "Well, it's working now, and changing stuff; that's a risk."

The same struggle that exists anywhere with decisions made by a group of people.

So, my answer condensed : Internal friction and fear of poor outcome prevents large companies from 'rocking the boat' more often.
most citrus fruits help to reduce kidney stones, but not grapefruit. grapefruit has different weird interaction with medication and does increase risk of kidney stones, contrary to other citrus fruits.

I've recently learned a somewhat uncomfortable truth: pretty much every nonprofit needs to constantly be spending effort wrangling up funding or it will die. It's annoying and uncomfortable truth, but it's true. The money won't find its way into the door on its own.
Reading is always easier to implement than writing. Only writing has the potential to actively corrupt the filesystem or leave it in some inconsistent state.

Generally, the more modern the filesystem, the more complicated writing becomes.

I was asked if I wanted to sign up in 2020, and said yes. No word back from the team though :(. I ended up getting the normal EWST, at UW Medicine.

I had a stone kicking around for 2 years that would cause pain off and on. Went to normal primary care, but they had no idea. We thought it was a gastro issue, since it felt like constipation (or so I thought). The problem was I was always fine when I actually went to see the doc. Until I finally went to the ER and they ordered a simple x-ray and found it :/
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I started with a small instance, moved up to the next size so I could get more connections and it ran flawlessly for over a year with 50-60 RPS from Cloud Functions, hitting it 24/7. Total price was under $40 a month. Zero regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat.
That comp number is apparently as-of 2021 and it was explained in a post by the CTO https://oxide.computer/blog/compensation-as-a-reflection-of-...

Certainly odd but not out of the ordinary for a small Bay Area start-up where the Founders have a ton of cash and the focus is mostly on what they personally want to do. Posts like these are b/c the Founders want to hire 1-3 people who fit exactly into alignment with them.
> You can argue whether communism necessarily would lead to surveillance, but there is no argument that it generally has in the past.

What ideology has had a significant number of states claim to adhere to it in the modern age and not seen many of those states adopt intrusive widespread surveillance?

Seems to me that blaming one particular ideology for a near-universal feature of modern states is not helpful.
I found Time and Relational Theory a very interesting read on this topic: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/time-and-relational/978...
Personally I think multi-year scale memory is possible with currently available research, if we just put it all together. What happens if we combine very long context lengths, dedicated summarising LLMs, RAG, MemGPT, sparse MoE, and a perennial Constitutional AI overseer? I don't see any reason why these systems couldn't work together. It just hasn't really been that much time, particularly considering that large training runs can take months, and if you want the best performance you often need to train with your specific architecture in mind. As well as time, it's not like all of these advances are coming from the same group of people, they're from AI researchers spread across the globe. Get them all in a room with a CERN-level budget for compute resources and I think they could do it.

It's one of my favorite archeological finds ever.

I suspect that there have been people in every age who valued, preserved, and studied material remains of the past. At a broad social and cultural level, however, you are correct.
Agreed, this is accurate. I work on XTDB and was able to speak with Richard Snodgrass (author of the paper) a couple of years ago. During our conversation we discussed how his research was primarily focused on handling valid-time, with transaction-time (a.k.a. system-time per SQL:2011) as a secondary concern. In contrast XTDB was inspired by the functional programming / immutability / database-as-a-value vision behind Datomic but with a desire for something more powerful than just the transaction-time capabilities. Essentially we arrived at 'bitemporal' from the opposite direction. This blog post covers the perspective somewhat: https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/2017-07-08-Datomic-this...

I don’t think I (or anyone I’ve seen in this thread) has said “earth astronomy is over” or anything similar.

They’ve said: this incurs a huge negative externality on the astronomy community.

The response was: it doesn’t matter because Starship will send up space telescopes at some point hopefully (TBD how long it’ll take, if ever, for them to reach the same availability as extant terrestrial telescopes)

That is the counterproductive response.
For one, grocery prices have risen by more than 5%. (My own experience is more like 30-40% just in the past year.) For two, grocery prices are one metric among many in the cost of living, e.g. you also have to account for housing prices, energy prices, etc. And, of course, wages are not rising commensurate with the overall CoL, they have been essentially flat for decades.

So while your math is good, it's not meaningful. I find it very weird the lengths people will go to in trying to make one-off metrics reflect a different reality than what is very clear from people's experiences.
Thanks!

I bought it based on your recommendation, and I'm happy I did. It reminds me of Josh Comeau's articles, but for advanced TypeScript.
It is a shame, but stupid relationship drama seems to go hand in hand with high creativity.

Btrfs seems to be the new standard, it might well end up being the one big thing Oracle did for Linux; it definitely evolved significantly over the last 15 years.
True but at for companies operating at scale they not only operate on AWS but on other cloud providers as well as legacy data centers … but business wise it’s a hard sell , it may sell for couple of cycles to build a new dc or use an existing ones but then it will be back to the cloud again for many more cycles.
