It is hard to tell what we will leave. Depending on how our civilization declines, if it just the typical path of resource overshoot and decline I do wonder how much of what we are creating today will last. Digital technology is efficient but lacks resilience. Even our printed materials now are on high acid paper that essentially turns into saw dust after less than a hundred years.

The things that make it through these periods are the stuff that is seen as useful to the folks in between. This is why we get a lot of religion, the odd bits of sciences stuff, a lot on growing food and snips of history if lucky. Heck for the might of the Roman empire, we only have 25 seconds of sheet music remaining. It is also funny how little we know about some of the Emperors. Things like, they had children, we do not know their names or if they survived childhood. The gaps are huge.

The things that survive are the things other think are worth surviving. Hygiene practices yes! Tiktok... no.
It depends how games use it. Spiderman 2 for example uses raytracing for reflections which are very important in New York (glass buildings, water, cars) and even uses it to draw rooms inside the skyscraper as you are climbing them. It's important enough that raytracing cannot be turned off even on the lowest quality settings.
Yep, those are the ones. The ones that gutted paxlovid sales in favor of the order-of-magnitude less lucrative vaccines.

That nasal spray has, of course, been conclusively shown to be ineffective. Otherwise we’d use it, because that’s how science works.
The ~20% using adblockers probably aren't a random cross section of society, but more tech-savvy audiences that advertisers will pay big $ to reach.
Unreliable deployments are my experience as well. I also encountered unexpected and unannounced downtimes surprisingly often.

I was excited about fly, but ended up sticking with digitalocean. I have only had one issue with deployment reliability there (when they changed their build tooling for Python applications on the apps platform), but they responded quickly with a fix and shortly after announced the change and potential issues to all customers. Fly is not like this, and as a hobbyist I don’t have the time or energy to deal with their platform’s issues. I’d rather pay for something I can depend on. DO has been amazing in that regard, and their tooling is excellent.

I’ve used vercel in a professional context and wouldn’t use it for personal work. The markup is crazy and the tooling isn’t appealing enough to justify the cost. This is definitely a subjective matter as opposed to reliability and communication which are objectively necessary. Vercel just “rubs me the wrong way”, and I’m sure many people here love it.
Yes, but that's way less work than maintaining an out-of-tree one is. Since fixes for kernel API changes are then the responsibility of whoever changed the API, instead of the driver's maintainer, it's basically the same amount of work it would be if the kernel did have a stable API.
Even if Inter wasn't a fit, and they really specifically needed an open-source font that looked like Helvetica (er, sorry, that drew "inspiration from the renowned Swiss design movement") with a more distinguishable I/l/1 and a monospace version, IBM Plex is free.
Wayfair's terms are different; they govern the broader business relationship.) In this case the judge should've done the 'common sense' thing and allowed the case to proceed despite the ToS--but that would've actually gone against the agreed terms, unlike what we are talking about with McDonald's app.

It's a troubling case and I understand why you are afraid of judges accepting spurious arguments from corporate defense, and I understand how many people don't appreciate how the difference in wording affects them and so can be intimidated.
I noticed that O and 0 don't look different. Although there's a big table on the page showing all the letterforms and numbers where the 0 has a slash, the demo has it with no slash. I'd fail it for programming if O and 0 are identical.
That is not always possible due to licensing like OpenZFS's kernel module. There may also be trade secrets in a kernel module that they do not want to reveal by upstreaming. Upstreaming code takes time and it is not guarenteed that your patches will be accepted where an out of tree module can be created instantly.

It may not be needed, but in practice kernel modules will exist and make upgrading Linux harder than it needs to be. A stable API is about providing value and saving time for driver developers and end users. It is no coincidence that successful operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Android have stable ABIs that you can use to make drivers.
When they came to require still smaller subdivisions of time, they divided each minute into 60 still smaller parts, which, in Queen Elizabeth's days, they called “second minùtes” (i.e.: small quantities of the second order of minuteness). Nowadays we call these small quantities of the second order of smallness “seconds.” But few people know why they are so called.
If you want to meet people socially and possibly develop more intimate/romantic relationships with them, you need to join clubs or groups or go to events where that is the objective, i.e. social clubs, not sports or gaming clubs or other activites that tend to be predominantly single-gender.
Some states have weaponized this. In Florida for example a huge amount of offices are staffed by NPs but they have passed legislation to lock certain groups of people out from receiving care from them as they are the target of the current political hot button issue. Being told you need to find an MD when most offices won't let you see one and may not even have one in the building at the time is laughable.
I don't think "GitHub" should lead in the title here. It's a bit misleading because it makes one think this is going to be a blog series from GitHub or something like that and, in any event isn't in line with standard HN practice. Only thing I could see making sense is to put "(GitHub)" at the end of the title, but even that I'm not sure is necessary. @dang?
Edge functions are cost effective, the problem is that they are comparing from Vercel.

Vercel is basically a dev friendly wrapper for tier 1 services: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35774730

Eg. Vercel is 25x more expensive than eg. Cloudflare Workers. Raw guess would be that their 150$ bill would have become 6$.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37891412

Eg. Image resizing

> Vercel : 5$ / 1000 requests

> Cloudflare : 9$ / 50.000 requests

Edit for comment below:

That's a blog post. I got my info from here:

See: image resizing

> 50,000 monthly resizing requests included with Pro, Business. $9 per additional 50,000 resizing requests

Yet the platform was repeatedly predicted to completely collapse afterwards, which it did not. We gave those predictions enough time to make sure that Twitter / X would not survive its first year.

So here we are 1 year later, hundreds of millions of users still continuing to use the platform regardless of all of that.
Say you lived in the iron age in a little camp with your family. You see this really strangely dressed person commanding hundreds or thousands of people to listen to his every whim and demand. You might think he was a wizard or god too, being able to put so many under his spell, maybe you'd do wise to listen to him too lest you face the consequences of his fanatics.

Here's some context: https://thediplomat.com/2021/01/the-us-role-in-south-korea-j...

The US fought an anti-communist war on the Korean peninsula shortly after WW2, ultimately resulting in a divided peninsula in which the North, until relatively recently, had a stronger economic and military capacity than the South (militarily the North is probably still stronger, thanks to nukes, but geopolitical analysis isn't even close to my specialty).

In 1953 the US and South Korea signed a mutual defense treaty shortly after the Korean War armistice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_Defense_Treaty_(United_...

Following WW2 the US also insisted on a demilitarized Japan, such that Japan enshrined this in its Constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_9_of_the_Japanese_Cons...

> Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.

> In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

The 1951 US-Japan Security Treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Treaty_between_the_Un... ) was signed around this time guaranteeing US right to maintain bases on Japan, and prohibiting other foreign bases in Japan. This was renegotiated 9 years later with a mutual defense treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_a...

And the US has a 1951 bilateral defense treaty with the Philippines: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/us-renews-war...

Plus Guam's a bit further away, but not that much further away.
"That patient is seasonally employed through the Lockheed Martin Antarctic Support Contract, the prime contract for operations and research support contractor to NSF for the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). NSF is not releasing any further personal or medical information to preserve patient privacy."

That's a curious statement given that NSF has often heavily publicized medical issues researchers have had, including identifying the people involved and their condition, like the doctor(s) who have had to operate on themselves, or people who found out they had cancer while at the station, or the researcher who had a stroke. How did "patient privacy" not apply there? And HIPAA does not apply to anyone except "care providers."

Despite intense pressure, the NSF refused to medevac the stroke patient for two months. But some Lockheed employee gets "sick" and they get a very complex, expensive, dangerous rescue mission? Why?

There was extensive coverage of this medevac operation; NSF provided lots of media and statements, etc...but tightly controlled who was allowed to take photos. Why?

Why is the NSF hiding who the involved parties were, and the source of their injury or illness?

The other question: why did we foot the bill for this? LM had a multi-billion-dollar contract to supply services. If one of their employees needs to be medevac'd out, especially for reasons that won't withstand scrutiny, LM can pay for it themselves...
Is that because they won? This comment explains the history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38063504
Definitely there will be cases where it makes sense. But intuition would suggest if your servers are say 80% idle then serverless functions would be cheaper, but that isn't actually the case. Cloud companies don't incur much of a cost from a VPS either if it's idle.

My team noticed the same with AWS Aurora Serverless (a database), it was so expensive that it was easier to just run a normal instance of RDS.
I already do that if I'm on a device without adblock, by muting the tab and switching to something else.
Do we know what they are? No.

But the dynamics between men and women are so damn different it's evident there must be a difference to begin with. Just because it's not proven and not certain 100% doesn't mean we can't look at it and go "yep, this really seems to work a certain way".

There are no double blind tests done for parachutes.
I have a lot of friends, particularly women and men with lower incomes that rent cars for any longer distance travel. I think because the true cost and risk factor is much lower. If your beater breaks down 200 miles from home you're in a real pickle if you can't just throw money around to make the problem go away. And women in particular don't want to be stuck on the side of the road somewhere strange.

I bring it up because I see complaints from people with money that EV's don't fill their use cases 100%. No offense it's a privileged position. Where you spend an extra $10-20k for a car that does everything you might want just to ditch the inconvenience of renting something for that last 5% use case.
The human mind can be a jail and any projection or role play can help break free for a few hours.

Many things are said to be great for the mind, even above the benefits physical activities.

There is a saying amongst riders "You don't see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychologist". Which is of course a tongue in cheek joke, but the feeling of freedom from riding my bike in the hills has often helped me ease in the sometimes hard realities of home.
For the educational side of YouTube, Nebula is great. The platform is very robust (it streams HD video at 2x speed with no difficulty), and it's run by the guy behind one of the largest educational youtube channels. Most of the great educational options are available there, and creators even strip out sponsorships before uploading, so you're getting a truly ad free experience.
YouTube attracts creators by giving them free hosting as well as paying them. If you've thought of YouTube as a Wikipedia, you've had the wrong impression. But how can you continue with the wrong impression while being aware that they don't want people like you?

Paid and ad-supported video has been around for decades, there's nothing strange about it. If you're used to going to the soup kitchen for free meals, few are going to sympathize when you're going to the restaurant of your choice and demand free meals. "But they don't have the salad that I like at the soup kitchen, I have no other choice!". Maybe the restaurant should start charging the chefs for their usage of kitchen equipment so that you can get the free meal of your liking? Maybe it's their fault for letting you in and now they owe you a free meal? They could have been members only like the fancier restaurant on the other side of town.

Just because “server” has the connotation of a 28+ core-each dual-Xeon setup does not mean that this isn’t a server. After all, a “server” just means a computer that serves content, and this qualifies. No one is recommending one put this processor in a data center, and, at the same time, no one is recommending I put a multi-thousand dollar Xeon in my NAS.
It also says that you just build teams where everyone is amazing (good luck pulling off that piece of recruiting magic) and then says “… give them good problems to solve…”
Who exactly does the author think should decide what problems the team should prioritize? That is the primary responsibility of the PM role. Seems like the author has indeed just had a bad experience with a PM who failed at that.

As a potential customer, I feel bad you feel that way.
Have you seen the wars and climate change going on right now? You're right to be pessimistic. This light come meme is such bs
I’m sure at least some of them “believed” it when the alternative was being thrown to the lions.
This is the rhetorical equivalent of saying “no offense” and then saying something offensive. Either you think it’s a meaningful example, which you manifestly do, or you think that it’s a joke and shouldn’t be considered seriously. You can’t have it both ways, and trying to just removes credence from your argument.

Family Guy also jokes about virtually every other conspiracy theory, yet birds do in fact exist.

Some of what you described in the comment I replied to fits the description of complicated company-spanning project management - a valuable role I have typically seen referred to as "program management" - but some of it, the team level dealing-with-task-backlogs type stuff, are things that managers and team members can just do in the course of their work.

But you're right that my comment focused only on the latter thing and ignored the former one.

But setting that aside, there is certainly a personality thing at play here. If I worked where you work, I would probably be more skeptical of the value of all the time being put into project management, and if you worked at my favorite companies that I've worked at, you would probably feel like it's a poorly managed mess (I've had lots of coworkers who felt that way!).

To some extent different folks just like different strokes, and that's one of the things that makes it really hard to do things that require lots of people to pull in the same direction.
You can count on online tech bros to jump in front of any criticism of billion-dollar companies. Masimo is a $4 b company dude. It can't exist without exploiting people so it's better it is destroyed.

I actually found the book quite intuitive and helpful in understanding linear algebra. It does explain a lot of the intuition for many definitions, as well as mathematical techniques.

It's easy when presented with new things that you don't understand to reflexively dismiss them, but the ideas here are quite solid. It's also a textbook which aims to introduce students to a slightly higher level of mathematical thinking.

In a surprising turn of events, capitalists are using their money to influence the government decisions, absolutely shocking!!!
How is that the app's fault? Are those conditions created by grindr? People have preferences, disclosing them as soon as possible saves everybody's time.

There might very well be a problem in the gay community in this regard, but if so it runs way deeper, this would happen with or without grindr.
Sure other fuels go into it but it also takes in things like sunlight and water pressure as inputs for doing work (from the growing crops perspective at least). Whereas with transporting the goods, you don't have solar powered trucks or things powered from watermills or hydroelectricity moving these tomatoes. 100% of the energy makeup of the transportation side will be from fossil fuels, in contrast to the growing where fossil fuels make up some fraction but not the whole due to the work done by the sun and pressurized water. Likewise with handling and storage. I expect tyson foods has no bulk freeze drying apparatus that is powered independently with its own nuclear reactor, they are probably pulling from the dirty grid.
I have smelled a tractor before
I find it interesting that most of those "modern" wood prints seem kinda crude & very abstract when compared to their counterparts.

I wonder what is the reason for that - artistic choise, only the best old prints being known today or perhaps loss of the techniques the old ones have been made with ?
Zermelo-Fraenkel, the axioms of set theory (minus choice). This would be what you were teaching if you were to start teaching mathematics by teaching its (classical) foundations.
It's not "just" a computer, a computer is a whole bunch of complicated stuff that I don't want to have to care about. I want to write some code and have it run and I don't want or need to care about the details of how that happens as long as it works reliably. Being able to ssh into your server is giving you more tools to fix problems, sure, but mostly problems that you created for yourself by having a server in the first place.
Know the rules and then break them. If you are criticising a physicist, you should be competent enough to know their jargon and conclusively point out gaps in their knowledge. E.g. as Sabine is doing with lost in math.

Just stating scientist could be wrong isn't helpful.
It's the power of abstraction.
If TLS version support was materially affecting your client’s ability to integrate with your products’ APIs then the Product Manager should have picked this up and worked with the development team on a way to remove this friction.

I can think of a bunch of different ways of solving this that would take a few days to build out.
Well except a lot faster at runtime
I've always thought that about this site. If they were trying to ease people off jQuery, showing the vanilla JS equivalent side by side is not going to have the desired impact!
How does that make sense? That has always been and will always be possible with any open source project. Should every other project go closed source too just because Russia can fork it and say "I made this"?
They never labeled it as "server grade"...?
Now if only they would have maintainers sign packages like almost every other linux distribution has done since the 90s, so we have any idea if the code everyone is building is the same code submitted and reviewed by known individuals.

Until signing is standardized, it is hard to imagine using nix in any production use case that protects anything of value.
Any books how to read and write proofs ? The above statement of zero vector is unique, I have no idea what is that means.
>The problems arose when we put in the product management process - the whole committee/requirement/signoff thing the article describes and I mentioned in my earlier comment. That created a formal bureaucratic mechanism for various players to stop all the ideas I had. Before, they'd be fait accomplis necessary for winning a big deal. Now they were just ideas divorced from value from some guy who should've known his place.

precisely, the introduction of a PM means that the people who actually implement the product are put below pure talkers. You suddenly go from being able to influence the product daily to everything being up for a vote and every vote being overriden by the PM. The PM gets to decide which issues are important enough to be included even though he really doesn't know better 99.9% of the time. 99.9% of the time he didn't talk to customers about it, he just has his own opinion and was put into this artificial leadership position that ruins the fun of the job for everyone else. Oh sure he talked to leadership but that ends up being about how to achieve his own dreams and goals, certainly not to help make the ideas of engineers a reality. I've literally never seen a PM that goes and asks what ideas of the engineers we can help make reality. Just let that sink in for a moment: Isn't that what a product is? Ideas of engineers? I mean it really is. The whole agile movement is one of the strangest gaslighting ventures that human psychology has ever produced. We are told that there is no boss while actively being micro managed issue by issue, hour by hour almost, while literally being asked every single day in the standup when X will be finished.
I’m using Debian with KDE Plasma. Its the best setup for me so far, and yet there are still some issues.
