i seem to remember an HN post about such a site, or at least one about a site that evaluates companies hiring processes. also related, about companies development practices.

try searching the HN post history. (and report back if you find something :-)
Is this perhaps related to private modules?
For people who have different ideas of what's good practice in normal life, maybe a helpful exercise is to imagine that example in a business context:

"Bob, uh, did you say you doctored a document from a regulated financial institution? And passed it off in a representation in a business transaction? It was inter-state commerce? And you think the transaction might get disputed, and be investigated? ... OK, I think we need to go talk with Legal right now."

Of course, just because something is bad in the conventions of business, doesn't mean it should be considered bad outside of business. But thinking about why it's considered bad in one set of conventions could be helpful.
This review seems to miss one of the most important competitors. The Ryzen 5 7600 costs only $20 more, and performs a good deal better for not a whole lot more power. I don't think there is a lot of customers to whom the iGPU difference is important, but not important enough to get a discreet graphics card.
Propane is no better than oil in terms of cost per BTU (except propane boilers are usually slightly more efficient). Natural Gas (from the street) is significantly cheaper than either oil or propane per BTU and particularly if used with a modern condensing boiler.

It’s not that a heat pump isn’t more efficient it’s that if you have forced hot water or steam radiators you are looking at an additional $40K to retrofit forced air ducting to your house. Oh and you still need a solution for domestic hot water, probably you’ll just end up with a resistive heater (or a hybrid/heat pump unit like the Aerotherm but the heat has to come from the room).
Surely the Mojo implementation doesn't miss something like maybe error handling?
I used to like him but started to feel he keeps ranting about very similar topics a lot:

1. neovim >>> vscode

2. X > JS (X=Rust, Go, OCaml etc)

I feel he doesn't do justice to his seniority and breadth of knowledge.

He, for sure, knows a ton. Yet chooses to waste streams on noob topics like editor wars, programming language wars etc.

I much prefer Theo-T3 because he finds interesting topics and really explores tech in depth.
Here's some context for those who, like me, never heard about Unison before:

This service is apparently directed at developers using a programming language called Unison ― hence the name: Unison Cloud.

As I understand it, this is akin to launching a service called Python Cloud (by the PSF, as part of the language?) where Python developers can deploy their apps as a function call:

# app.py

class App:
def get(self, req):
name = req.GET.get("name")
return f"<p>hello {name}!</p>"

def deploy(self):
from PyCloud import cloud
project = cloud.create_project(self)
project.deploy()

# main.py

from .app import App

app = App()
url = app.deploy()
This is a toy project to understand the space. He is using solr at work.

That 48% number probably overstates things a fair amount because having access to a garage doesn't mean you can easily park all of your cars in it every night. I couldn't find the number of cars that actually garage park regularly but I bet it's a pretty low number. 20-25% of people don't use their garage at all for parking and, at least in the neighborhoods I see, the vast majority park at least one vehicle outside of the garage every night.

Regardless of the garage situation, widespread curb charging would be a huge help for many people.
I’d be curious if your old cpu uses an NVMe or SATA drive.
I’ve seen a 20% increase on big projects from NVMe alone - I suspect due to the big I/O queue depths of NVMe.
That's my kind of monitor. :) It's not wasted either. Foveal cone angular density is actually around 12,000 cones/deg^2, or 110 PPD, so anything up to that is achievable with perfectly corrected vision. That's a lot higher than the 60 PPD typically claimed for retina PPD, which is at an imperfect 20/20. 110 PPD is more than 3x the PPD of the AVP...

Interestingly the one amputee I know well enough to speak about this with is quite aggrieved by prosthetic design decisions being made based on what someone assumes amputees need or want. The final fitting and tuning is very custom but the functional tradeoffs of the device are decided well before that, seemingly without much collaboration with the people who will ultimately use them.
Idea is interesting, but zooming in every time you click on something is very unintuitive; if this is for "exploration" it should keep the zoom level while you click on things.

Also a direct link to Wikipedia would be nice instead of the full page preview (perhaps this was designed for mobile, I'm describing the desktop experience).
A new CPU would probably have double the core count (16c/32t) of your current CPU. C++ compilation can use all the cores.
Stock buybacks are tax efficient dividends. Boeing has been paying dividends fairly regularly since 1937, so paying stockholders can't really be the problem. Executive compensation is kind of a red herring too. If you don't like what the executives did, it probably reflects more on the choice of executives rather than the compensation of them, but you could maybe make an argument about how compensation incentives were setup.

MCAS and unbolted door plugs feel like two separate types of problems, IMHO. Both of them can be tied to Executives and culture, of course. MCAS comes from a desire to skirt regulations --- hiding automation from pilots in order to reduce certification requirements is a design error. OTOH; the unbolted door appears to come from production / rework corner cutting; the design is sound, the written process is sound (I think), but written process was not followed in order to meet schedule pressure.

You can have a company culture that encourages skirting regulations and cutting corners in production regardless of dividends/buybacks and executive compensation.

> It's just lots of filler to try to make the site look, from the scammer's perspective, legit.

And they just happen to have mostly political propaganda from CGTN, a CCP mouthpiece? If the intent was only to scam, there are thousands of ways of doing that with better results, without involving propaganda.

> What you see as propaganda, is what somebody else would just see as the equivalent as a stream from e.g. Reuters.

C'mon. If you search for "china" on any of these sites you'll only see pro-China narratives, promoting the One China policy, etc. Western media has its own agenda, sure, but this type of blatant propaganda is only found on fringe publications.

> If you want to see this as some sort of a state influence operation, you run into a million issues.

State run psyops don't need to be sophisticated. Their only goal is to flood the web with their narratives, and lower the signal to noise ratio, so that when people search for specific topics, theirs will hopefully come up. For every attempt that does this right, there are millions more that do a half-assed job at it.

> Especially for things like this, I think Occam's Razor is quite sharp.

Precisely. The CCP runs a well-oiled machine built to pump out disinformation via every public channel available. It takes them no effort to create sites like these, and all steps of the process are likely fully automated. I find the simplest explanation to be that this is just another variant of this, rather than a scam operation that builds dozens of sites with pages upon pages of content just to get people to click on some links, or whatever type of scam this might be. If it quacks like a duck...

I don't think we'll know for sure either way, or convince each other, but cheers for the discussion.

Or they have enough leverage for good contracts, and a lot of money on hand to be able to make semi-risky bets that others would not be willing to. Combined with good marketing and reputation.

That enables them to take bigger bets than most, and their reputation means customers are more likely to buy into their big bets.
Of course it takes practice regardless of if you have ADHD or not, but ability to focus on something absolutely has something to do with ADHD.
My husband built https://wikimap.wiki which shows every geotagged Wikipedia article on a map at once. It was actually quite complex to do this because of the large number of articles. The UI makes some compromises to try to keep it usable but it's a tough nut to crack with the highly variable density. It also has filtering by category and some features of that nature.

The major trick is that the article icons are a layer of prerendered tiles; the client can't handle that many objects. Clicking does a request to a geojson server backed by postgis to find what's in the region you clicked. I'm not sure that it's actually updating right now either, ingesting updates takes hours and is pretty brittle because of issues with the format of the dumps Wikipedia provides.
While they need not, you will often want that. Humans will naturally shy away from someone who doesn't look 'normal' (a term I didn't define). I often catch myself doing this even though all evidence says the other person is fine despite missing limbs.

FYI SVG charts have been around for a while and there are many libraries that use them: https://blog.logrocket.com/comparing-most-popular-javascript...

Depending on your use cases and complexity though, sometimes it's better to render to canvas instead (usually for performance reasons). JS and WASM are way more optimized than SVG is, so sometimes it's better to do the heavy calcs and then render raw pixels, instead of relying on SVG geometries.
Has anyone used Unison instead of Spark? Seems like a natural fit to me.

Here is a recommendation engine in < 20 lines of python to go along your search engine (if you keep session logs of clicked urls).

def build_recommendations(logs: List[List[str]], window_size: int = 10,
max_recommendations_per_url: int = 50) -> dict:
recommendations = {}
for session in logs:
for i in range(0, len(session)-1):
url_id = session[i] # reference element
window = session[i+1 : i+window_size] # sliding window
recommendations[url_id] = recommendations.get(url_id, {})
for pos, next_link in enumerate(window):
weight = window_size - pos # elements in the window get decreasing weight proportional to their distance from the reference element
recommendations[url_id][next_link] = recommendations[url_id].get(next_link, 0)
recommendations[url_id][next_link] += weight

for url_id, link_recommendations in recommendations.items():
# sort and truncate the recommendations
recommendations[url_id] = dict(sorted(link_recommendations.items(), key=lambda item: item[1], reverse=True)[:max_recommendations_per_url])

return recommendations

recommendations = build_recommendations(your_logs)
print(list(recommendations[some_url_id].keys())) # gives an ordered list of the recommended url_ids for the given url_id

With some tweaking (mix typed queries and clicked urls in the logs you feed) you can get a spellcheck suggestion out of it as well :)

maybe it's a matter of degree then. enough publishers still support RSS that i can still use it exclusively and not miss much. maybe my reader is doing more magic to find the feeds than it used to?

there's the weird email newsletter format (say, Matt Levine's column) which completely ignores RSS, but that's probably tangential to the argument. the biggest offenders i see are less $BIGCO and more individual developers who roll their own blog and overlook RSS. but in that latter camp, every off-the-shelf publishing system or static site generator gets RSS support by the time i'm liable to encounter it in the wild, whether the operator knows it's there or not.

Sedan sales have been dropping over the last few decades, the market is all in SUVs, which is why that gets priority. Look at Tesla Model 3 sales over Model Y as an example. Basically the same car, but the Y has a taller body (more SUV like).

So with the number of EVs being sold, it makes sense to focus on SUVs for now for most companies, unless they are trying to make a statement car like Lucid.
Both can be true!

We haven't tested. Neon has a pretty unique storage architecture, so I suspect it wouldn't work out-of-the-box, but could with some modifications on our end. We're open to this type of partnership eventually.

I would argue that Python does not inhibit this project as much as you imply. There are multiple benefits to Python, such as:

- A built-in dictionary type, used for indexing words

- Clean and easy to read code, which is one of Python's core strengths

- It's fast to draft code in, perfect for toy programs

- Easy async support, which the author comments on

- Plenty of libraries to do the heavy lifting of tasks not focused on by the post, such as hosting a web server, rendering template HTML, and parsing CLI arguments

Yes, Python is not fast relative to C or Rust, but it's perfect for this type of project.
I have myself dabbled a little bit in that subject. Some of my notes:

- some RSS feeds are protected by cloudflare. It is true however that it is not necessary for majority of blogs. If you would like to do more then selenium would be a way to solve "cloudflare" protected links

- sometimes even selenium headless is not enough and full blown browser in selenium is necessary to fool it's protection

- sometimes even that is not enough

- then I started to wonder, why some RSS feeds are so well protected by cloudflare, but who am I to judge?

- sometimes it is beneficial to cover user agent. I feel bad for setting my user agent to chrome, but again, why RSS feeds are so well protected?

- you cannot parse, read entire Internet, therefore you always need to think about compromises. For example I have narrowed area of my searches in one of my projects to domains only. Now I can find most of the common domains, and I sort them by their "importance"

- RSS links do change. There need to be automated means to disable some feeds automatically to prevent checking inactive domains

- I do not see any configurable timeout for reading a page, but I am not familiar with aiohttp. Some pages might waste your time

- I hate that some RSS feeds are not configured properly. Some sites do not provide a valid meta "link" with "application/rss+xml". Some RSS feeds have naive titles like "Home", or no title at all. Such a waste of opportunity

My RSS feed parser, link archiver, web crawler: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive. Especially interesting could be file rsshistory/webtools.py. It is not advanced programming craft, but it got the job done.

Additionally, in other project I have collected around 2378 of personal sites. I collect domains in https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database/tree/ma... . These files are JSONs. All personal sites have tag "personal".

Most of the things are collected from:

https://nownownow.com/

https://searchmysite.net/

I wanted also to process domains from https://downloads.marginalia.nu/, but haven't got time to read structure of the files

Yeah—on the other hand, I’ve gotten PRs that are just too damn big and that means that I can’t review them without sitting down and getting into the flow just for that review. What I end up doing is, after some false starts, getting myself a block of time to review the massive PR.

If I see some 700-line PR coming through, I have to allocate some focus time to that, just like I were programming. It’s a burden.
