Crud is widely used. My kid's pediatrician and my PCP both use it to describe a general cold or cold symptoms. I'd say it has been in general use for about decade.
It's very weird when people post links which contradict their text.

I usually block people that do that, because I find a quick trawl through their comment history often reveals they're deliberately spreading misinformation and/or gaslighting.

Except that most laptops today have only DP, and basically all USB-C=>HDMI adapters are USB-C => DP alt mode => HDMI adapters.

And outside of gaming consoles it is becoming increasingly more rare to connect anything to the TV outside of the luxury segment (as even build in sound often is better then any external sound up to a price region where the lower luxury segment starts, so buying a slightly better TV without an external sound system is often better then a cheaper system and external sound).

And many of the "killer features" of HDMI (like network over HDMI) are semi-dead.

And DP is royalty free, HDMI isn't. So gaming consoles probably would love going DP only.

So as far as I can tell the only reason physical HDMI interfaces are still everywhere is network effect of them always having been everywhere.

I.e. if there is a huge disruption HDMI might go from everywhere to dying off.

And USB-C is perfectly suited for such disruption (long term).

I mean everything from server centers to high speed interconnects of consumer PCs is currently moving to various forms of "PCIe internally". USB4 and NVMe just being two examples. So it might just be a matter of time until it reaches the console/TV space and then USB-C with USB4+ or Thunderbolt would be the way to go.

Have you thought of Organic Maps? It's a really great OSM open source mapping app, obviously still missing public transport+ traffic data, but the quality of OSM data is surprisingly good and it's completely offline (auto downloads the region you're viewing a few MB at a time, or just download the whole world which is ~37GB (aside: it feels really cool to fit so much content on your phone - You can fit global Wikipedia + Wikivoyage + World Map on a 256gb phone)

Brace yourself for multiple 'Great Resignations' this decade
This is how it all starts. The US had 25,000 "advisors" on the ground in Vietnam before the official 8 March 1965 US Marine landings at Da Nang. I don't blame the Germans for being transparent, so the people know what we might be getting into here.

You will see posts about the aggregate number of French, UK, and German forces, which seems like it is enough without the US to have a shot at fighting Russia, but these are mainly troops with little experience in recent history of taking on a willing enemy. Given we have depleted our conventional weapons by supplying Israel and Ukraine, and that Russia is putting nuclear missiles on display on their streets, it should be time to go to the table before the battlefield. Ukraine released a 31,000 people killed figure that the West agrees is conservatively twice that, but reports from Ukraine and Ukrainian soldiers hint it is well above 150,000. This is why they are recruiting everyone they can by pulling them off the streets and out of buses and trains as long as they are under 65 at this point and can walk.

You'd be surprised how many companies that maintained <20 vms migrated to k8s. The motivations include ordering a chaotic status quo, premature optimisation, young blood wanting to prove themselves, boredom, "its new so it must be better", "i want to try this" [...], you get the idea.
I'm close to launching this no-code smart contract tool
I've been working on this thing since early 2019 in my (limited) free time. I've redesigned it multiple times, and am getting close to launching the MVP.

I'm wondering if the texts on the pre-launch page speak to you, and if this is even exciting?

I've been building it in a bubble for so long that I don't know what it might look like from the outside anymore. Would love any opinions and/or criticisms!

https://doodledapp.com/

Some of the key features:

- Drag and drop builder (Works similarly to Unreal Engine blueprints)
- Completely free-form, not template junk. You can do anything you can do in Solidity.
- Export to Solidity
- Import from Solidity
- You can create components and sell them on the marketplace (0 fees, p2p payments)
- You can also code components in Solidity directly!
- Supports any EVM network
- Deploy to multiple networks in 1 click
- Automated audits (general fuzzing and such)

Some cool features that are planned for post-mvp phases:

- Visual testing - See the flow of data and debug
- Audit marketplace for projects and components
- Live collaboration (already somewhat supported)
- AI generation using marketplace components for contracts and tests
- This means it'll work MUCH better (spelled safer) than AI code generators because it isn't generating code, just the connections between pre-audited components written by humans
- Ultimately a no-code UI engine to pair with this "backend" engine, but that's a long ways off (unless a16z wants to knock on my door, then probably the Tuesday after next)

Some context on me: I like pineapple pizza, but, I'm an entrepreneurial dev with 15 years of broad experience from saas to mobile to games, and been a blockchain dev for the last 7 years. Built some pretty successful personal projects including a wallet with 500k-ish users (now ded), consistent hackathon winner, helped launch a few blockchains (not ded) and worked on core blockchain protocol code.

A lot of the motivation for this comes from my time as a wallet builder, as I spoke to hundreds of non-devs who had pretty great ideas but no way to fund or build their ideas themselves. I believe stuff like this (easy no-code builder tools) has the chance to help create a much healthier long-tail of applications built on top of blockchain than our current dynamic. There's a reason WordPress powers half the internet, or Wix and Webflow are dominating right now.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, good or bad. Give it to me straight, doc.
A battery lasts 1000-3000+ cycles. That takes the emissions of a car down to 6-2% of an equivalent ICE for the life of that battery. Most cars fall apart before the battery reaches that point so recycling of the cells will likely occur but still that is a monumental saving if you can charge that car from clean power.

All of those emissions can be replaced with electrical replacements, from the machines that extract and move the material to the processing and making the batteries. So as electrical vehicles take over that number will drop to nothing. There are already replacements for a lot of the big machinery that extracts from mines that can run all the time in the US and other places in the world.

It will obviously take an amount of CO2 emissions to transition but the emissions aren't intrinsic to the process but rather the power we are using to make it happen.

A common complaint about Solar panels is they take quite a bit of power to make, which is true but if you also look at any of the solar manufacturing plants around the world they are not surprisingly getting their power from their own solar panels as well. When we study the emissions of these things we need to think more about what can not be easily replaced yet, like steel manufacture.

Oil also has similar externalities in emissions too from all the extraction and moving of barrels of it around the globe, its one of the largest industries in the world for emissions.

Color helper – Chrome extension to help color blind people identify colors
A friend of mine has developed an assistive browser extension for people with color vision deficiency. It works on the current viewport, a selected area or a DOM element, allowing you to inspect the shades and approximate color names of the pixels. It also outputs color info in RGB and hex, making it useful for web devs, graphic designers as well.

He is also the creator of https://isit.red, a highly performant augmented reality web app that displays color info through a live camera view.
I remember how few years ago a Linux update broke my system because they added en_IL locale. Which, apparently, meant that someone believed that English spoken by expats in Israel was different enough from the rest of English variants in the world.

But then it turned out that it sort of made sense. Especially since some services in Israel can also be provided in English, they need a locale to deal with stuff like calendar, currency etc.

I don't think though anyone recognizes the language spoken by English speakers in Israel as a separate language. Even though it's usually augmented with hard-to-translate Hebrew words that relate to local realities (eg. "oleh" which is usually translated as "repatriate" (noun), but it only applies to those who repatriate to Israel, not any other country, or "ascent" (a pilgrim, only in religious context) again, only in the context of coming to Israel or more specifically, Jerusalem).

There are also plenty of second and third generation English speakers who depart very far from the dialect of English their parents came with. Usually, the drift is towards American English, with a lot of borrowings from Hebrew (and by proxy, from Arabic). So, I don't know, maybe at some point there will be an actual Israeli dialect in the same way.

Show HN: I made a node-based procedural art plugin for Figma [video]
Been working on this for about three years now, and it's finally becoming a useful product. Still a long way to go, and just as much determination. :)

This is Blender's geometry nodes but for Figma. I tried to represent as much of Figma as I could as nodes. It's great for automating repetitive placement, especially if you need complex variation.

For example, one of my users is automating line placement for digital notebook templates.

Another is making NFTs. Generator is great for generative art, as there is a lot of random goodness that can be made when you can create vector curves etc procedurally.

Another thing this is good for is simple data visualization, ad you can fetch text data from the web, parse CSV and JSON, convert between types etc., and apply those values to shapes.

The advantage is that the results are all editable native Figma objects right on the canvas, including things like skewed text.

I think this has taken too much of an emotional turn instead of logical. You will not be able to get plastics banned until there is conclusive evidence that a significant portion of the population is dead from it. Ignoring corporations, I do not believe you can get any large enough portion of population to ban it or even limit it in any meaningful amount.

I personally am excited for the coming years and hopefully us having a better idea how we can use plastic more efficiently. In the near term we should be able to get a better idea of major contributors to microplastics and maybe be able to reduce those.

In hindsight, adding the RenderPass API to in Vulkan 1.0 support mobile chips was probably a mistake.

Vulkan 1.3 without render passes ("dynamic rendering") is so much easier, it reduces hundreds if not thousands of lines of code from the boilerplate code required to draw a triangle. And it gets even better in a practical project because you'd need to set up new render passes up front for every new thing you add.

Mobile vendors are catching up and providing means of getting advantage of tiler GPUs without the old verbose render pass API, but it's not there yet. And it'll take a while until mobile drivers propagate to the hands of consumers.

What's desperately needed is a way for compute shaders to read on-chip tile memory like Metal Tile shaders on macos/ios. That would finally bridge the gap, getting rid of the render pass mess altogether and provide a way to get the best perf on mobile chips without having to write a whole separate path for compositing/deferred lighting etc.

Because currently you get the best perf on desktop with compute shaders but mobile requires you to use fragment shaders to benefit from tile memory.

That said, Vulkan 1.3 is a massive improvement over 1.0.

I don't see a benefit in making a version 2.0 that's incompatible with 1.x, because it's not like vendors could stop shipping 1.x due to all the content using it out there.
HDMI can only carry single link DVI as far as I recall.

I did slide towards mentioning QUIC there in that that first time crypto cost is gone there too. (I rather like quic), but yes, crypto costs. The web got a lot slower when it went to https, I noticed.

A highly interactive site like HN is inconvenient to cache with a CDN (presently). Also auth is a PITA. And HN, even at 70ms, is "close enough" to be quite enjoyable to use. On the other hand, most of my work has shifted into a zulip chat instance, which feels amazingly faster than any web forum ever could.

It would be cool if hackernews went more like a modern chat app.

HDMI currently supports up to 144Hz. Even HDMI 1.4 (2009) could reach 120Hz.

However, compatibility is hit and miss in general. You may have had luck replacing one or more cables or adapters, but switching to displayport is likely to get the best results, anyway.
> Horse poo covering streets is not particularly friendly to the environment.

Most people did not own horses, especially not in cities.

They were generally limited to farmers, businesses (to draw carts/carriages), and the rich (Gilded Age).

For most of history most humans walked to their destination on a day-to-day basis. This changed slightly with the invention of rail roads and later bicycles. The automobile didn't go mainstream until roughly the 1920s:

Look at any pre-WW2 development and you'll see neighbourhoods built for human scale:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcar_suburb

Design things 'properly' and neither cars, nor horse-drawn carriages, are needed by people for most of their daily tasks. This is evidence by the fact that humans lived like that for centuries just fine.
I did not want to ask anyone to change it with the question, heck I'm not sure I want to with all the conveniences they provide - there's a reason why basically everyone has at least one account with big tech.

Still, I think it's chilling to think how over the course of two decades you've gone from a world with no big data/companies controlling you, to it being the norm (and very hard not to) have an account with at least one of them.

Aside from privacy - just the control they have with no negotiation power on your side, from TOS and privacy policy, to randomly being able to ban your account with no recourse is chilling.

I don't think everyone should live in a city. I HATE cities with an absolute passion. But it would be nice to have more local, self-reliant solutions in smaller towns and rural areas that require less driving, too. I'm thinking more along the lines of small, local economies rather than packing everyone in a city.

I absolutely agree! I think we should lower speed limits not just for cars, but for life in general: economic systems and the internet should have speed limits. And I'm being serious. Ivan Illich talks about this in his book [1] and I tend to agree with most of it after a lot of thought.

One improvement in Vulkan vs. OpenGL is that it effectively decouples software updates from hw generations.

As of today, you can write Vulkan 1.3 code (which is significantly better and less verbose than 1.0) and run it on 10+ year old hardware on all desktop platforms with GPUs from all vendors as long as you've got up to date drivers.

Such a thing was never possible in the OpenGL days when the API version was tied to certain hardware features (which you probably didn't use), and you were stuck with 10+ year old API version if you wanted to run on 10+ year old HW.

It ain't perfect but it's much better than back then.
This is where things stood in 2014. An update a decade later would be nice.

The problem is not about the vendor at all. It’s not even about Kubernetes. It’s about the problem being solved. I’m not an IC so I get to see all the behind the scenes.

We’re just cosplaying a large tech org when this company, like the others I’ve been at, is a sales company with an IT team. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. It’s a good business to be in. We just don’t need a complex runtime with software defined networking to deploy a series of three server blue/green deployments for relatively low traffic use cases.

The problem itself has been the same for the past three companies I’ve worked at.
