Traditionally, cloud referred to an abstraction above "someone else's computer", keeping the specific details of those computers hidden from the user, allowing the operator to do things like swap out the hardware, move the data to another datacenter, etc. without the end user ever noticing.

But tech people love to come up with new definitions for the same terms all the time, so anything goes.
Personally I find grid more complex - but perhaps I just haven't used it as much compared with flexbox. The vast majority of the time, I find that elements within a particular component (here meaning chunk of UI, not a React/Vue/Svelte etc module) naturally fit along a single axis.
Why? Worst case, couldn't you put the Starlink terminal, router, power supply and all in position A, together with a (worst case) Wi-Fi to fiberoptic Ethernet bridge running to position B?

The Starlink terminal is already a giant transmitter, after all.
Float is still relevant.

For example if you have some text that must flow around an image that is placed in a corner.

React.js is a powerful and reliable front-end library that has cemented itself in the community of front-end development. Its popularity has spawned various frameworks that draw from its tools, such as Next.js, Gatsby, React Native, among others.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss some common React anti-patterns — those subtle coding practices that may seem harmless at first glance but can wreak havoc on your application’s maintainability, scalability, and overall user experience.

The camping and walking in the forest part is not what distinguishes hunting from everything else done in the forest.

If they are looking for a deer they have shot few hours before, they can put away gun and walk around using the light. The lights are not allowed when they have guns with them.
This is generally the same path that LibreOffice followed. Works reasonably well.

We built our own find-dead-code tool, because the extant ones were imprecise, and boy oh boy did they find lots of dead stuff. And more dead stuff. And more dead stuff. Like peeling an onion, it went on for quite a while. But totally worth it in the end, made various improvements much easier.
And as family sizes increase, the family increases as well, so even the first born may not be treated as such, because they were always watched by cousins. Very quickly you can have a completely extant sub-culture in the children that is unaffected much by the adults.
I wont be surprised if someone acquires them. This looks really well engineered and it gets shit done as they say.
My point is that perhaps there is a reason that this chromosome causes this issue when an additional copy is present. If other chromosomes do not cause the same issues, why not? Why would that same reason not hold for chromosome 21?
If you’re asking yourself where you should be keeping secrets, you should be using a secrets manager. Two examples include Doppler (https://doppler.com) and AWS Secrets Manager (https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/).
I haven't actually. I believe they do offer modest amounts of credit for creating useful libraries, documentation and such targeting their platform, but I never really looked into it.

In that case, you can put away the gun and use the light.
Ask HN: Could we skip speech to text using vector databases?
Nearly all voice applications translate speech to text. However, while voice applications need to do multiple things analyzing text we still return to the audio itself for deeper processing.

For example we can analyze text to get intent analysis but we need to analyze the wave patterns of the audio file itself to get "real" sentiment analysis. But I wonder if there is a better one approach.

I am learning Spanish and right now I translate the words I hear into English for further processing. This is a multi-step process that is time consuming and delays my response. A friend said he didn't really learn English until he challenged himself to stop translating in his head and instead associated the words with the objects itself. At that point he could skip translating and respond extremely fast because he essentially learned the language - we do this with our native tongue.

What if we do the same approach using audio in voice ai applications. We could remove translating speech to text - understanding what is being said by analyzing the audio itself and comparing it to pass records using a vector database and pass records of audio, translations, intent, speech to text, etc. If we don't have a similar record translate speech to text (aka inquire).

If this were to work over time it would reduce cost and time required for voice ai applications to understand and respond.

What is also interesting is it follows the human way of learning. We need to be exposed to things, directed and corrected for a certain amount of time to understand languages.
I can only guess, but I believe that ChimeraX's rendering pipeline is single threaded (just an empirical guess based on my CPU usage when using it). Additionally, loading that many atom positions requires a huge amount of memory (I routinely use > 32 GB memory just loading a few proteins) and things start to slow down quite a bit.

Loading a 60-fold icosahedral virus has used > 100 GB memory on my workstation, and resulted in a 0fps experience. It might render OK from the command line, but now imagine a few dozen of those, plus a cell, plus all the proteins in the cell...

> On GNOME you cannot minimize windows at all if I remember correctly.

This is incorrect. You can minimize windows on Gnome, but the button to do it is hidden by default. It can be re-enabled in Gnome Tweaks, and there is also a keyboard shortcut (Super+H) for minimizing.

Gnome is however indeed fairly workspace-centric.

As for customization, out of the box Gnome is quite rigid, but its extension ecosystem far surpasses that of KDE. You can use extensions on Gnome to for example get a dock or system tray back.

I am not seeking out opportunities to badmouth Elm. But as I am someone who is interested in FP and frontend tech in general, when I see an Elm story on the frontpage I click on it to see what folks are saying. And when I see exclusively glowing and positive statements (which was the case when I first posted) then I feel like I have an obligation to point out that there are some big issues with how Elm is maintained, because this is the sort of thing that _I_ would want to know before I spent a bunch of time digging into it.

If you want to watch the dang movie go ahead. But anyone asserting that those of us posting negative things about Elm are acting cult-like (seriously?) is being disingenuous. Considering the audience, there are good reasons to highlight the--IMHO major--problems with how the Elm project is run, and not mentioning them is irresponsible.
For certain apps, it feels much more comfortably mentally compartmentalized when that focus is not in browser... (this is just my opinion), but I find that I typically have so many tabs open - I like to have certain things on not my browser (at times a tab can crash the whole browser)

Boxed wine comes in a plastic container. Beer goes off rather quickly without excellent storage, which is why cheap beer has settled on aluminum cans which preserve well while being cheaper and lighter than glass.
I think you're getting lost in semantic games. Cloud providers sell you access to their computational resources. When you pay for a server, you're paying for the right to access that server and do what you wish to do with it. Much like when you rent a car, you still pay for it if you keep it parked.
This is an example of fitting the data to the (counter-)narrative, to create a novel thesis.
Right, but what I mean is the work you put into the data (could be Q&A, journal entries, etc.) will be useable by any local AI model in 5 years. Or can be read by a human. Any coding you do will be out of date.

I'm saying I'd focus on the data first.

That said... suppose your father died and had written 2000 questions and answers about himself. Would you prefer to read what he wrote, or would you prefer to dump it in an AI and have the model do some black box improv version of what he wrote which may or may not resemble the original material very well?

Are Starlink terminals really directional enough for EMI from an Ethernet port to be a bigger omnidirectional concern than the many watts of power they transmit skywards as part of their normal operation?
Growing up in the United States, I remember plastic being introduced for the same reason. For example, there was a huge push to get people to accept plastic shopping bags rather than paper ones. There were news stories talking about how it not only saved trees, but also used less fuel because the paper bags are bulky, heavy, and expensive to ship from the manufacturer.

> Today we are announcing plans to build a new high performance and memory safe reverse proxy in partnership with Cloudflare, Shopify, and Chainguard.

That is a strong start.

I wonder how long before other major cloud players join in on building River. I could see the value in other players like Google, Microsoft or even Amazon investing in this tech.
AFAIK HAProxy also uses lua, so it would probably suffer in terms of performance quite similarly in that aspect.

There's also the memory safety aspect with Rust.
What is the state of tiling in Plasma 6 and how does it compare to Pop Shell (https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for GNOME?
Completely agree, though the more iconoclastic corrolary that goes unspoken there is that putting The Final Word on memory ordering semantics into programming language standards was a terrible mistake.

Memory ordering is a hardware behavior. It needs to be specified at the hardware level, and hardware vendors have been very mixed on clarity. And more importantly, lockless algorithms (that rely on memory ordering control) are really, really hard, and demand clarity over all things. And instead we're crippling those poor programmers with nonsense like "sequentially consistent"[1] or trying to figure out what on earth "consume" means[2].

x86 does this pretty well with their comparatively simple model of serializing instructions. Traditional ARM ISAs did only a little worse by exposing the interface as read/write barrier instructions. Everyone else... meh.

But if you really want to do this (and you probably don't) do the analysis yourself at the level of ISA/architecture/hardware, cite your references, and be prepared to handle whatever portability works is needed on your own.

[1] A statement about desired final state, not hardware behavior!

[2] Nothing, on any hardware you will ever use. Don't ask.
Thank you, this was exactly my experience when I installed Nobara 39 last month. Took me a good minute to find where turn it off, but I'm glad it's configurable. I agree the default should be off.
This is a cool trick, and iirc there are a few Rust crates that implement it, including slice-deque.

...but I think there are a few significant downsides, even in userspace:

* The most obvious one: you have to write `unsafe`, non-portable code. The Linux, macOS, and Windows implementations are totally different from each other.

* The setup and teardown of each ring is a bit expensive (few system calls). For a regular allocation, the malloc implementation typically caches that for you. Here you have to do your own pooling if you might be frequently creating them.

* Using whole pages, and two mappings per ring, is wasteful in terms of not only RAM (often no big deal) but also TLB space (which often turns into significant CPU usage). If you just allocate 32 64 KiB rings from the standard allocator, on x86-64 you might be talking about a single 2 MiB huge page mapping. If you do this instead, you're talking about 1024 4 KiB page mappings.

Science fiction is always really hard, because when you think about it, many of the cultural references of today would be baffling to people 200 years ago. But when we write a story that takes place 200 years in the future, the references can’t be baffling to the reader, first because then the story wouldn’t make sense, but also because nobody is so creative that they can invent 200 years of actual culture. So, they pretty much always use events and themes from current and past events and then re-interpret them in creative ways.

HN doesn't slow down or speed up based on the content of what anyone posts.

As huhtenberg points out, some accounts are rate-limited, but that doesn't have to do with the server being fast or slow or up or down. These two things are unrelated.

You've been doing this a ton over the past couple days, as well as breaking the site guidelines in lots of other ways, and I've already asked you once to stop.
C++ is really a language that you want to specialize in and cultivate years of deep expertise with, rather than having it as one tool in your belt like you can with other languages.

That's certainly a choice you can make, and modern C++ is generally a pretty good experience to work with. I would hope that there's not a ton of active C++ projects which are still mostly using the pre-2011 standard, but who knows.
I know that putting all eggs on one basket and giving it all to Cloudflare is not a good idea, if they have an outtage then I would also have it to. But when they are down, one third of the internet is down with them too.

I’ve personally experienced ridiculous “wishcycling” from my extended family in the US where they just throw whatever they want to feel good about throwing away in the recycling bin without looking up what should go in there. Not to mention that the idea of a “recycling” bin is ridiculous to start with. You need one bin for each type of material.

It's not so much just the Isp -- rockets can easily get to orbit on LOX/RP-1; LOX-LH2 is not needed -- but also dry mass of the stage. Basically the entire solid rocket motor is a thrust chamber, and must be strong enough to withstand that pressure. In a pump fed liquid propellant rocket, this is not the case: the tanks need only withstand a pressure high enough to avoid cavitation in the pumps.
