You have a misconception about CockroachDB and YugabyteDB architecture. It is not 2-way replication. It writes to a Raft group. The transaction can be picked up by any node because the transaction intents are also replicated. The main difference with RAC is that the current version of a row is read/write on the Raft Leader, replicated to followers (that can be elected new leader). In RAC, the block with current version of a row is moved back and forth between the instance. That's possible only with reliable, short distance, dedicated network. Distributed SQL can scale out to multiple availability zones. Not RAC
The thread mentions it, it's basically a MediaTek MT7981B with some extra components. It would be interesting if they can get all the things they mention in the < $100 price range that they're aiming for.
I like all these new use cases for SQLite, which appears to be a new platform itself
I think it is opposite of Uber. Content is free. There is hordes of people willing to do it for very little.

But actually doing the hard lifting of moving lot of bytes for users is the expensive thing. Ordering taxi and then updating location every few seconds is pretty light load. And there is not too many users doing it at one time.
TFA mentioned Kansas (where I sit typing this comment) as potentially losing its importance (such as it is) in college football.

If it turns out that way, it won't just be disappointing for the KU football program; recent action by the program will make it disastrous.

What action? Huge scale reconstruction, of the football portion of the KU campus. As I type, the current football stadium is being demolished, to make way for a bigger and better (and more expensive) stadium, within a fabulous and exciting "Gateway District".

This was already IMO a bad bet, on continuing KU football's recent relative success; if things go the way TFA projects, catastrophic failure could occur regardless of win-loss success.
The newspaper at least... stops once you've read it -- so that's what an hour (or whatever) gone of your day. That's a major difference, at least.
Nobody except a very small minority of techno-nerds (and most of those not teenagers) was alawys online until about 15 years ago, the advent of the smartphone. It took easily another 5 years before a significant amount of teenagers had them, especially outside the richest countries.

But of course it's not the technical capability that's the problem, it's the always-online culture, the network effects, the constant doomscrolling through algorithm-optimized feeds, the instant notification when someone replies to your kneejerk vitrolic comment with even more vitrol.

And then again, that culture was not possible without the technical capabilities and widespread adoption of them. Nobody was motivated to build a site or app optimized for doomscrolling until there were enough eyeballs and advertising dollars to capture.
We're up to ~1500 TLDs.

At this point I just auto-assume there's a domain for every word I'm interested in, though some are not open to registration or prohibitively expensive.
You miss the point, before newspapers no one was this distracted from the present. It’s not the magnitude of distraction - a phone obviously offers more opportunity for longer distraction. It was the delta change vs. What distraction existed before.
It's not uncommon for lightly trafficked sites to have 90% or more of their resources taken up by bots of various kinds. Remember Google isn't the only search engine and there are many crawlers that aren't search engines at all.
- we're just about to discuss a contentious topic and vote on it. i bet bob and lauren will be opposed to our suggested solution. wouldn't it be nice if they accidentally happened to get unsubscribed for a few days without notice, so they can't rebut our arguments?

- adding a new member to the list requires a vote of approval of the existing members. bob apparently unsubscribed last week and now he wants to resubscribe. can we take a vote on whether to let him back in or not?

- when someone who isn't a member of the list attempts to post to it, we add their domain to the spam blacklist and report them to vipul's razor. hmm, weird that bob.example.com is on our spam blacklist, how could that happen?

- bob, i'm afraid i have to write you up for having violated the new company policy i posted to the policy-announce-important list last week. well, if you didn't read it, that's your problem
> you don't think engineers who build web crawlers cannot build email classifiers?

We're talking about Google here. It doesn't matter that they have lots of clever people working there; they still occasionally get/guess things wrong, and if you're the unlucky too-small-to-even-notice outfit that happens to get squished by Google today, there's seldom much you can do about it.
All this talk about “community” - what “community”? It simply doesn’t exist anymore even if you wanted it - short of arranging to stay near your extended family and in laws, what else is there in the modern western world?

Churches, I guess is the only other true community left…
It could have been that you clicked that tiny, greyed-out, hidden unsubscribe link by accident.
Don't worry, it was only a couple passwords for their admin accounts.
Countries get over it, historically, but yeah it's pretty unpleasant for those affected.
Soon it will all be Taco Bell.
the standard approach is that unsubscribing sends an unsubscribe confirmation mail to the subscribed email address, replying to which confirms the unsubscription. nothing about logins or passwords or the web. this has been standard practice for 25–30 years
I also get a fair number where there is am unsubscribe link, but it doesn't work. Or I unsubscribe and then a few months later am somehow resubscribed. It might be malicious. But I think in many cases the cause is just that the company doesn't really care that much, and don't prioritize fixing the unsubscribe flow if it breaks.
Yeah... Is it ok to do a public writeup on the same date the vuln was patched without an acknowledgement from the client? I would have scheduled this blog post at least a week later.
It's from fool.com, what else might we expect?
No, exposing the shit and concentrating on it is not accurate. Building your world view on the part of the world you can personally observe, which has some good and mostly boring normal aspects, is not ignorance. I'd argue that for most people it's in fact more accurate.
That is hardly valid criticism when Linux's answer for binary distribution is for them to bundle their everything (containers).
The Google interview process at that time was definitely not tuned for selecting the charismatic lol. I was there at the time and I can't recall anyone from DoubleClick management surviving, only engineers. It was a bloodbath.
There's a similar mechanism for most horse races in the US, though instead of it being just the winner's entry, all of the horses in the race are offered for sale at a certain "claiming" price just before the race starts.

Efficiency frontiers are a game of fantasy (reality is never at the frontier), so it's not relevant whether there is a "zero fraud" point, but also for the same reason a tough argument to make that there are no situations where (even in theory!) such a frontier exists

But that's also not connected to the main critique - I get how you'd welcome more efficiency (at higher costs), but do you get to welcoming costs outside of trying to do counterintuitive rhetoric?
+1. Erowid had plenty of self-reported but for some reason believable accounts of people kicking opioid addiction with ibogaine. Having never had experience with either can’t confirm the efficacy but definitely can confirm the fact that it was talked about.

What helped me with the fan noise for extended periods of CPU + GPU load was moving the GPU one PCIE port over. Initially, the GPU was very close to the CPU's heatsink (millimeters away).

I know this isn't always possible with newer CPUs which tend to be stingy with PCIE lanes, but in my case, I have a boatload of them, so I could do it with no issue.
I don’t have the patience for any of this. But a friend has and I sometimes use the email service of their small company. Hosted out of a cellar, their own IP block, servers maintained as a side responsibility of an employee. Can’t remember Gmail ever rejecting email from there.

Yes I'm using this command occasionally. While clearly the demo of Atuin (https://atuin.sh/) looks cool and more powerful than ctrl+r, I must say that ctrl+r has always been enough to me.
FWIW, the base features of WolframAlpha significantly predates the present LLM craze, and there has not been any major leaps in its capabilities recently, apart from the addition of dedicated "LLM_xxx" functions.

I remember using it as a student back around 2010 and it worked the same then. Actually I think the free tier used to be better before they introduced the "pro" version with subscription fee.

This is so tragic. Ive tried reading the reports in this thread that have more info about the cases, but I don't understand how there wasn't enough evidence to exonerate these people at the time of the accusations.

It doesn't seem the post office had to prove their software worked as they claimed it did. I may have missed this or misunderstood something but there are access logs, receipts given to customers, the money itself vs the stock/services sold ...these are can all be counted by hand no? There should be a 1-to-1 relationship between the business that came in and the products/services that went out, physical evidence. I feel like I've missed or misunderstood something about this situation.

Its horrific to imagine management would ruin lives over something like this. They really ought to be prosecuted and thrown in jail today, even if they're 90 yrs old. Anyone who took part in this cover up really shouldnt be let off the hook here.
The WiFi is also >1Gbps.

> I call this the "Google Maps effect", the more you use Google Maps, the less you learn about city streets, etc.

I call it the "pocket lighter effect". The more you rely on pocket lighters, the less you learn about kindling and fires. But for some reason, people don't fear this development.
This is some kind of Cory Doctorow dream come true
To summarize, it’s a pocket piece of e-waste.
Then why does this trend disproportionately affect girls? There is nothing particular special about “onlineness” that should affect them particularly worse than boys, but plenty of very real evidence that shows social media sites like IG are very harmful to girls (and meta knows it).

There are plenty of millennials that have been terminally online since at least their early teens and weren’t showing this same trend. I’m saying there’s nothing inherent about “online-ness” that should warrant mass levels of depression like this.
Ask HN: The case for U.S. tech talent
Hi everyone,
TL;DR: In what scenario should companies hire American interns/devs instead of talent overseas?
I've recently started working for a tiny, fully remote startup as a technical team lead, and I'm in the position to potentially hire an intern for the summer. However, the discussion came up on the value of hiring a college intern in the US (where it is much more expensive) versus hiring from Eastern Europe (where costs are much lower). For context, I am the only American dev in the company, while the other devs are from Eastern Europe.
One of the founders (who comes from a non-technical background) asked about the value of hiring an American student. As this is my first leadership dev role, it is my first time thinking about hiring issues, and I've always operated under the assumption that what you pay for is what you get. I've only briefly read anecdotes about overseas hiring of talent causing headaches (Mostly from India), and I've never managed a team before, so I'm really uneducated on the topic.
However, after working with Eastern European devs, I'm not so sure anymore. The current dev team is great, and from my limited perspective, we're meeting goals at a fraction of the labor cost. I'm interested in hearing more about your experiences and make the case for or against hiring U.S. talent for a lean startup focused on efficient spending.
PowerShell was a fundamentally new thing 15 years ago, years pass and I still use zsh and have no desire or motivation to use PowerShell.

It is no longer hyped but also never got a killer app, so it is stuck at "exists" phase.

Can you use the /commercial command? That should fire off 30s of ads. You can also specify longer breaks with e.g. /commercial 120

Manually running enough ads should also stop the auto scheduler from running ads and disable prerolls too
I find pleasantries like "please" are wasted on bots like GPT4. Remember, it's a machine -- not a human: It doesn't get upset if it doesn't hear "please," "thank you," and "atta-boy".

It just needs some commands to follow.

Something like: "Fluently translate this text, from {here} to {there}, while preserving details" seems to be fine for me.

If the style then needs tweaked, then I edit the original command and tweak it to have it start anew: "Fluently translate this text as a peasant baker from Rhode Island in 1810, from {here} to {there}, while preserving details"
Article was good, and your instincts proved correct -- but if you want some truthful feedback, your headline is clickbait. You pwned a single vendor that happens to work with some fast food restaurants, you did not find a vulnerability within the restaurant companies themselves. "I pwned an applicant management system" is a lot less compelling than the headline you used.
For folks who don’t know, this is a great read and explores how we are connected and communicate is more important than what is communicated. Highly highly recommend.

This mode of thinking is very prevalent on the left but it’s actually the opposite on the right, which is instead anti government. So it really isn’t a universal shift.
Have the price for the cars dropped? When I was racing in bilcross ~15 years ago the price for a car was 9000 NOK. You can also bid on any car that have been in the race, not only the winners and you cannot refuse to sell. Personal safety equipment is not part of the sale. Bid is a fixed price and if several bids on the same car they draw one of the bids on random. It is tons of fun racing and safe even if you get in a heat with many who have never raced before

Sweden and Finland do also have the same, is called folkrace there
I want this to be legit, but I fear we’ve entered the ICO phase of the AI boom
That didn't change in 2010 though, did it? None of that seems particularly different from 25 years ago, and their figures show this was clearly a sudden change around 2010-2012. The smartphone does feel like the only convincing explanation to me, because it's the only thing that happened globally around then which was a persistent change in the lives of teens.
Does anyone know of any online sites with simple recipes or instructions for some basic cheeses?

> Here are 13 Other Explanations for the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis.

She finally gets to the deciding modern condition - the one where kids are systemically denied critical growth time (daily blocks of adult-free time & safe places to roam [safe=no threat of police or other compulsive adults]).

And even tho she has this on her list of false suppositions she admits probably isn't as false as she infers.

But she then immediately minimizes this historic erasure of development by saying it's just 'independence' kids have lost. Gaslighting done, she bizarrely accuses devices & social media of causing it, even tho it was obvious by the 1980s that options for free-roaming and adult-free time were well on the way to being eradicated.

Perhaps being so invested in pregurgitated conclusions, she's unable to notice super-obvious competing factors.
IMHO there wasn’t any reason to bother fiddling with the definition of BOOL.

It was well-understood that Obj-C BOOL and C++ bool are different types. Anybody working in Obj-C++ will deal with a ton of these differences, some minor (like BOOL) and some major (e.g. how NSString and std::string are not at all the same thing). Unifying a few bits here and there doesn’t deliver a lot of practical benefit.
The same thing is happening to MacOS, and has been happening for almost a decade now: ship half-baked badly designed mobile-first "features", never fix bugs or regressions or performance issues.

Hi, thanks for giving it a try.

Business emails are harder to screen using this method but your understanding is correct, it is flagged as high risk because of not being found on those sites.

We'll check the disposable email sources, thanks for your feedback on that.

Some ISPs do show as a risk, even genuine residential. We can tweak the thresholds over time. We keep an eye on this.
This is one thing that atuin announced to solve: ignore patterns, keys, passwords. From the announcement I got that it's going to be far more useful than HISTIGNORE. Both out of the box and in abilities.
I note some people in the comments section were quite offended by the "9 to 5 with kids types" remark.
Thanks for responding. I can certainly relate to feeling pressure not to upset other people, and even think that it's a healthy impulse to have, up to a point. (Certainly it's unhealthy to never feel it.) I don't think your feelings are abnormal -- to me they seem very much in agreement with current norms, in the US at least. But I would like you to think about whether the current socially decided notion of "what's appropriate" is as balanced and as good for everyone as it could be.

Social norms like this can and do change over time, and it's my opinion that this (specifically, that asking people out in a work environment is always or nearly always inappropriate) is one that should -- because I think there's an alternative set of norms that leaves essentially everyone better off. Specifically I think that if it was understood by everyone that a person asking another person out (in any context, including at work) is responsible for dealing with rejection like an adult and not continuing to pester the person, then (absent any power difference that might imply a quid pro quo situation), there would be no reason to forbid it. Most people would still hesitate to do it (asking someone out can result in rejection, rejection is embarrassing), but the kind of scenario described by Martinussen in https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=akoboldfrying#389248..., where an employee fears for their job if they don't pander to an entitled customer, won't occur.

Interested in your thoughts.
I tend to write scripts or docs when things are annoying and hard to remember. shell history is usually littered with sensitive stuff, I usually go way out of my way to prevent my machines from saving any of it, but to each their own.
It would also mean a lot of pilots who have have other options - and I guess those are the best ones - would consider taking those other options instead.

This means airlines will have a smaller pool of less desirable / qualified pilots to choose from.
Small communities exist everywhere, at least in Europe. Scouts, sports clubs, volunteer fire departments, political activism groups. In all of these groups we build a community around a non-competitive purpose (with the exception of some sports clubs) and in all of them we also help each other with stuff that is not related to the primary purpose of the club.
OTOH, whey can be turned into the delicious Norwegian "brunost" (literally "brown cheese") by just reducing it down until it caramellizes and then adding fresh cream in various amounts.

Especially if you have whey from goat milk, you get excellent brunost. Put it on waffles together with some strawberry jam, best thing in the world.
