Or don't!

Not everything "has to scale." My stuff isn't built to, and I see no reason to do so.

It's my personal server. I run some stuff for my convenience, a quiet backwaters community forum, a Matrix chat server, etc. If any of that really starts to ramp up, I can always split it out into its own VM. If it exceeds what my current server can handle (exceedingly unlikely), I'll go rack up another box for it. And if I get a super sudden spike in traffic, something is probably quite weird. The only thing likely to see that is my personal blog site, which I already have cached in Cloudflare with a typical ~60% cache hit rate, going up north of 90% if there's a spike in traffic, because, being a static site, I've told CF to cache "literally everything there."

I probably could move most of my stuff to "the cloud" in an evening's sysadmin, but... why? I already went through the process of moving it off the cloud to save myself an awful lot of money.
> Most attempts to water down R2R specifically involve limiting the access provided to "assemblies" rather than individual chips.

This is how the automotive industry has managed 3rd party repairability, and it’s served them well. It’s almost less about the parts themselves (gears/shafts/bearings can measured and machined and fasteners can generally be found off the shelf), and more about the the components not having interchange part numbers, or official service manuals with torque specifications. It’s an entire market separate from official channels of part acquisition.

I’m dealing with a consequence of an “assembly” now. I have a GTI with VW/Audi 6-speed manual transmission of type 02Q. If you looked at all VW/Audi vehicles with a standard/manual over the last 25 years, it’s going to be a 02M, 02Q, or 0FB - all of these sharing roughly 80% of their parts with one another. But, it’s an assembly, so you cannot find individual replacement gears, pinion bearings, synchro rings, shift forks, etc from OEM, everything is aftermarket. If you’re having transmission problems that cannot be fixed with new seals, input bearings, sensors, or fluid change, you need to get a whole new transmission according to VAG.

My first gear synchro ring is busted and instead of buying $40 3-inch diameter piece of stamped brass, VAG wants me to drop $5000+ for the part. The labor would be less for the swap than doing the repair, but they would rather make me spend money on the part so they can sell the old one to a remanufacturing company and they can sell me the trans for $3000. I can go to a salvage yard and get one for $400 or pick and pull (and hate myself for trying to wrestle it out) for $250.
I saw the same thing and wondered why nobody in the comments mentioned how painful this site was to read. Copy/paste the text and suddenly it's all back to normal. Saved the page to disk and loaded the local copy in the browser - also perfectly normal. Very strange. Maybe something to do with their CSS?
It has been at persistently low levels for seven years years now (obviously the pandemic punched a temporary hole in employment, however the US recovered relatively quickly vs its peers). It's structural, we have a labor shortage relative to the hyper scale of the US economy overall (including its aging demographics as a supply problem). The only thing that will severely dent that context is a bad recession, a big crisis like the great recession.

You’re saying “learning a language” like it’s learning Python or something. Come to my country and I bet you won’t be able to go through a day without falling back to English earlier than in two years.
That is not the labor theory of value. The whole point of LTV, at least in Marxian economics, is that workers can't be payed according to their socially necessary labor, because a surplus labor is extracted.

Besides, LTV as a theory is meant to be a description of the world as Smith, Marx, etc. see it, not a prescription for how things should be done.

All respect to Jeff, but this is a nothingburger.
Agree to disagree honestly. If you don't like your employer to the point you're going to trash talk on HN, find a new job, do something else, and certainly don't disclose information like $'s being spent on infrastructure with "no plan to use" (this person is inevitably covered by an NDA, and that is very likely considered company confidential information by Meta).

Always best to assume that even if you post attempting to be anonymous and not filling out 'About Me' that one of your 100's of comments on an internet forum may identify you accidentally or intentionally, and that all your comment history may then trace to you.
Also completely swapping out the technology multiple times over as many years, so you're re-implementing 2FA or other features multiple times, without anything particularly new or different about it, just different tech.
Hetzner, Linode, Rackspace, take your pick.
We went with a mid-grade LVP in the basement (ease of install, cost, and water-resistance). It's fine in that use case, but it has some drawbacks over wood. The primary one I've noticed is the damage pattern (from moving furniture, etc) isn't good - wood patinas better, where LVP just gets gouges. Maybe there are more expensive LVP options that don't do this.
Sodium + water is, unfortunately, violently flammable.

Add water to elemental sodium, and you get heat, hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide.
I enjoy that there is now so many options to share a beer with someone without the alcohol, but I am one and done. It’s calorically like drinking full sugar soda and most bars I’ve been to that sell cans tend to charge as much or more than a regular beer. Rather just drink water or seltzer at that point.

I don't associate companies with whatever random things their ads appear next to, I don't even remember it. I'm pretty sure this is also true for 99.9% of other people. This brand safety stuff is just an excuse for woke marketing staffers to feel like they're "making a difference" by attacking people and companies they don't like.
I'm thinking of VCs as gatekeepers. In some senses, VCs are no different than FAANG, who could acquire and fund the kids.
>You're proving his point. $1k isn't enough to do anything with, so it's going to get wasted on vice.

Or, and hear me out here, it could supplement the $2,400/month someone makes working 160 hours at $15/hour.

Again, keep in mind, median rent in LA county is is >$3k/month.

IDK everyone in this thread thinks so poorly of former foster kids. Have they not had it hard enough?
Cities don’t just stop building when they get full. If that were the case there would be no modern tokyo for example. Or modern anywhere else, central and south american cities now look like modern and tall east asian cities, in contrast to American cities that have looked broadly the same for 60 years.
I think Dell, IBM & HP all went through a "blade" era where they built cableless systems that plugged into a backplane.
If the goal is to reduce the rate of negative outcomes for youth aging out of foster care, though, aren't the ones with mental health or addiction problems exactly the ones who would need help the most?
You need to seal and stain the wood. Depending on the brand that could mean every year or every 2 or 3 years. The wood will rot otherwise. But maintained then pressure treated pine (or outdoor hardwood) will last a long time.

You’ve also pointed out the problem with plastic. It fades and if you were to add new plastic it would look off.
Mobile-first is not mobile only design!

This article has completely misunderstand the term, mobile first it's the technical way of organizing the CSS to render the mobile viewport first and then the rest of the 'breakpoints'.

Mobile-first design has the advantage, over the desktop-first design, that it directly render first the mobile design and the cellphone experience is much faster and with less rearragning flickering.

Mobile-first doesn't have the corresponding disadvantages at the desktop browser since they tend to have a land line internet and much faster cpu and memory.
Sadly, if it were true, I wouldn't be surprised. Brand has made a lot of enemies out of powerful people with his political commentary. Assange did the same thing and IIRC, he was also accused of rape.

Hah interesting to hear I'm part of a trend. I drink occasionally, but I honestly have never liked the taste of alcohol and I pretty often will go out to bars/clubs and just not drink at all. The effects of alcohol are fun, but I'm also increasingly feeling like I don't need them to have fun chatting and dancing. And yeah for sure aside from the taste I'm definitely not into the health downsides.
The shitty code most places are running have such horrific latency between awful SQL queries and choices like Node as a backend that the difference between a 1G and 10G uplink is unlikely to make a large difference, especially if you’re caching static content with a CDN.

This does presuppose you have a business class internet connection, of course.

Actually the data I've seen states one is way more likely to go from the bottom 20% to the top 20% in many other countries than if you were doing it in the USA.

I'm open to any counter data, but I've read these same numbers in several sources and you can tease it out of my first link.
Well again, now you're conflating two separate things. As I've demonstrated before, there are legal repairs with non-stolen parts that Apple would prevent today. Apple considers those repairs wrongful, because they do not include brand-new OEM components or allow the user to designate that a handset can be used for repairs. This is an arbitrary decision, made by them, and justified by a non-technical, unrelated reason.

That is wrong. The Shenzhen boogeyman can be dealt with in ways that don't give Apple the de-facto iron fist over repairs. This is an obvious, bald-faced power grab no different than using terrorism to explain why encryption is a bad technology. Any reasonable jury would conclude that the value of monopolizing your second-hand supply chain far exceeds any profit recouped from snuffing out chop-shop iPhones.
Honestly I found myself coding very much the same way in Rust as I did in Python and Go, which were my go-to hobby languages before. But instead of "this lock guards these fields" comments, the type system handles it. Ownership as a concept is something you need to follow in any language, otherwise you get problems like iterator invalidation, so it really shouldn't require an up-front architectural planning phase. Even for cyclic graphs, the biggest choice is whether you allow yourself to use a bit of unsafe for ergonomics or not.

Having a robust type system actually makes refactors a lot easier, so I have less up-front planning with Rust. My personal projects tend to creep up in scope over time, especially since I'm almost always doing something new in a domain I've not worked in. Whenever I've decided to change or redo a core design decision in Python or Go, it has always been a massive pain and usually "ends" with me finding edge cases in runtime crashes days or weeks later. When I've changed my mind in Rust it has, generally, ended once I get it building, and a few times I've had simple crashes from not dropping RefCell Refs.
I've found kombucha also scratches the same itch for me. There's a wide variety from plain to floral to fruity to herby. It's also a nice bonus that it has the opposite effect on my gut than alcohol.

Did you also check battery life and memory usage? That's more noticeable than a website loading 1% faster in Chrome. Sure, now Chrome can also sleep inactive tabs now to save memory, but that's relative recent feature, while Edge had this for over 2 years.
The irony is that we are now all very enthusiastic about a text based user interface.

Show HN: I made a site to sell digital products with a 0% fee
Hey HN community,

I made Hive99 (beta), a site where you can create an easily customizable store to sell digital products (files, links, templates, etc.) without high and crazy commissions.

The goal is to make the process easier and faster, reduce costs and increase profits for creators.

During the beta phase, we're offering a 0% transaction fee for life! That means every cent you earn is yours to keep. No strings attached, just pure profit.

I'd love to hear your feedback on Hive99, your own experiences, suggestions, and what features we should consider for future releases.

Cheers,
juaba :)

Obtaining Remote Code Execution in F5-Bigip via AJP Request Smuggling
We identified a new pre-auth remote code execution bug in F5-BIGIP's management panel. Today is disclosure day, so we can't share all the details yet (need to give folks time to patch), but we do go into details about how to identify AJP Request smuggling and demonstrate if an application is vulnerable. If you're not familiar with this technique, it's definitely worth a look!
>is this some braindead new trope on HN? I'm seeing it the second time on HN today. There is and cannot be anything objective about "better" unless the choice of "better" is explicitly and unambiguously stated.

Mate, I explicitly mentioned the meaning of "better" in the context of browsers: faster, less memory usage, longer battery life. If you have trouble reading text, maybe go back to finish school first before commenting on technical topics.

Also, please stop acting like a 10 year old on X-box live insulting people calling them braindead just because you don't agree with their opinion. You're breaking HN rules.
> treated wood also doesn't rot

That is a pretty broad statement so perhaps you're thinking of a different thing than me when you say "treated wood", but the typical pressure treated pine you get at big box home improvement stores will absolutely rot. They reformulated the treating agent in 2004 so it's no longer using arsenic, and since then pressure treated wood just doesn't last as long. Generally in my area, fences and decks built with standard pressure treated pine look good for about 6 months, then look bad for 5 years, then start to fall apart.
Not sure where you live, but in most cases, The owner pays property tax. The rental price is based on the market rate and is not tied to the property taxes at all. Landlords will set the price as high as possible to secure occupancy regardless of the taxes they pay.

I based my comment off the Cambridge dictionary, which specifies the order as

I think loud is a physical quality, and big is the size so I think the ‘more valid’ way is the latter that I posted, isn’t it?
“The FOMC judges that low and stable inflation at the rate of 2 percent per year, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, is most consistent with achievement of both parts of the dual mandate.”

“Over time, growth in GDP causes inflation, which if left unchecked, runs the risk of morphing into hyperinflation.
Most economists today agree that a small amount of inflation, about 2% a year, is more beneficial than detrimental to the economy.”

World Leaders in Research (!)-Based User Experience

---

And they checked a Herman Miller site. How often do you go to HM? When you want to buy a 6000 dollar chair. That's maybe once in a lifetime.

On desktop, nobody cares about mobile first trendy large image sites, because you can scroll, you have a mouse, you have a full keyboard. You can use CTRL-F. You can navigate away from the bullshit, QUICK. Your handicap is ZERO.

The real problem is really about mobile sites viewed on mobile.

You search for something and arrive butt naked on sites. What you get? Full screen cookie consent pages. Then a subscribe to the newsletter full screen modal. Okay, now you get the content, but not really, because half size ads, ads on top, ads on bottom kill your eery-xperience.

The experience is crazy because you have a restricted way to interact with the site. A shitty onscreen keyboard, you have to scroll a lot with your fingers. Save the mobile experience first.

On desktop the problem is with large sites, with lots of traffic, with lots of users. "Finely" tuned by the sancrosanct A/B tests.

Facebook/Instagram desktop experience is borderline crazy. Facebook's comment experience is just plain shit. Koko the tacticle sign-speaking gorilla would've made a better job on that.

On Instagram, if you view it from desktop, then you are viewed as a peasant. How dare you to visit the site from the desktop? Are you retarded? Clicking on a post? Go register now, peasant!

Wait a sec, you tried to register through desktop? Now go hang yourself, rural monkey! No, you can't set yourself to be 18+ to view the boobs, you need a mobile for that. Told ya, go hang yourself desktop peasant.

Oh, the creators of React, the bloated bullshit frontend experience framework created by colour haired individuals that every brainwashed idiot loves like a plush polar bear.

Time to push back and send the naive + trendy developers to the soon to be established Mars base.
Agreed. I bought Washing Machine on the day it was released, during my secondary school lunch break. I remember the NME review claiming The Diamond Sea as the best thing SY had ever done. I agreed with that when I got it home, and still do. It was the pinnacle of their work really, which went rapidly downhill afterwards. Pitchfork's 0.0 rating of NYC Ghosts & Flowers was sadly wholly appropriate. But the records Evol-->Washing Machine altered my life completely, and turned me on to the idea of weird/experimental/avant-garde music, and art.
If you go to Achievements in your profile, there is one for years read, which shows a date that I assume is the account creation date.

Correction: Doing the math, it looks like the date on which the achievement was earned, so subtract off the years read from the date to get account creation date.
I second Accelerando, especially for its weirdness.

As the blurb on the front cover says, it's "a bit flawed and a lot of fun".
Perhaps you could provide an example of a non-layout issue?
I agree that that's the hope. One also has to consider, though, that instead of transitioning from homeless to housed, the infusion of money might transition some folks from homeless to homeless with a budget to fuel addictions.
Why do you say they don't mention the cost? I'm sorry but like that's what the ENTIRE article is about, the cost savings of sodium batteries over lithium.
In this particular case, I would not have funded this research without first funding an initial (much lower cost) study to prove that the project meets basic physics. If, and only if, the researchers can prove the solution is actually realizable without causing damage, etc. We move to the next phase.

The basic physics is a known quantity and doesn't need to be repeated for every new study in the field. Here's a publication that contains the core insight of accelerated silicate weathering:

https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/03/srccs_chapte...

See section 7.2.2, "Chemistry of mineral carbonation."

The carbonation of magnesium and calcium silicates is thermodynamically spontaneous but kinetically hindered. The kinetic hindrance is why an additional energy input is needed to draw down atmospheric CO2 in less than geological time: the mineral's accessible surface area must increase dramatically for fast silicate weathering. The thermodynamic spontaneity is why the additional energy input can be small compared to the original energy embodied in the fuels that generated the CO2.
My matrices are dense. I’m working with boundary elements. But, there are sparse optimized libraries for efficient storage and access to sparse matrices (e.g.: Eigen has both sparse and dense sub-libraries). Also, there’s a whole literature concerned with sparse matrices and operations on those.

However, my knowledge is limited on sparse side. If you want, I might try to dig into it a bit.
In none of these proposals is anyone forced to do anything with their land. In contrast, today you are forced to do nothing with a lot of land thats built to its zoned capacity. If you want to build an apartment on the lot you own and get some productivity out of it, too bad, says the laws of today. A true libertarian bent would be to eliminate zoning entirely and let the market naturally shape the environment to meet demand over time.
Look, I like Apple too but don’t get too high on their supply.

Apple does the possible but extremely challenging, frequently. Given enough time and money, they probably could be at least competitive with Google, but how much time? How much money? What are the opportunity costs to doing this and not investing somewhere else where they are either stronger or there’s a more lucrative future business to be had (like their mixed reality headset)?
I2P is a great project run by amazing people.

Like Steve, I also took a pay cut (from around 400-600k a year TC at a FAANG) to work at Oxide. I'm very passionate about what we do and was attracted to the values-oriented culture.
>I have an issue with advertisers bullying platforms to remove bad guys, but that's the way it works.

Yes, you'd think in 2023, platform companies could just disassociate advertisers with channels rather than just kicking someone off the platform. You don't want your ads on Brand's channel? Just uncheck the "show ads on this channel" box.

I'm fairly certain that's available, but companies want people completely silenced and use their advertising money as leverage to do so, which is significantly more insidious.
