> Redis may require a significant performance optimization.

Redis is single-threaded, it’s simple and effective. I’m not sure it needs optimization, and we have 3 alternatives here.

Garnet however is the first alternative to actually outperform Redis at both low and high levels of concurrency, which is remarkable. I can’t wait to try it out.
i am in that exact situation right now. i am trying to hire locals in a somewhat remote work location. most candidates want to work remote. even for a senior it took us a few hours of working face to face before i felt comfortable letting them work remotely. for a junior i can't imagine remote work until they are fully onboarded and able to work independently which may take a few weeks to a few months of time.
I was immediately thinking that the #AI labels are going to give people a false sense of trust, so that when someone posts a good-enough fake without the #AI label, it can do damage if it goes viral before it gets taken down for the mislabeling. (Kudos for the effort, though, YouTube.)
Are there popular competing theories like https://www.researchgate.net/publication/21589761_The_Multir... ?
Regulation is very lax here. Plenty of stories. The most basic being they won't unlock the door when you flag them until hearing where you are going - legally they have to take ALL rides unless they are in a shift changeover. If it's really far, like to a farm, I think they can ask for the return fee too.

Also, a booking isn't. It's like that Seinfeld skit. A booking is just an agreement to put your job out at the agreed time. Doesn't mean anyone has to take it. I live too close to the airport for anyone to want to take it, apparently.
Hmm, what if people outside of yoga like health food? Or what if some people at the yoga site instead eat fried food but just have a good exercise routine?

your solution here just makes ads less valuable, which isn’t a win for advertisers or sites. if you can remove tracking, and still allow targeting, then you’ve hit gold. short of that you won’t find meaningful buy-in.

not the same, you’re paying for car insurance and they offer you a discount if you allow tracking.

most sites using tracking are providing you something for no monetary cost to you, instead by showing you targeted ads
You’ve now posted 4 meta comments about comments. If you have something substantive to say about the study, say it.
Other than it might be too complex and costly to do so. Just because something is physically possible, doesn't mean we'll find it feasible to do so. Take building a transatlantic high speed rail under the ocean. There's no reason it can't be done. Doesn't mean we'll ever do it.

Doesn’t matter how good your in-house tech team was, your company still outsourced it to cloud infra.

That’s what Nvidia faces. Doesn’t matter how good the current in-house teams are using direct hardware, the trend in corporate is shift to a vendor (Google/AWS).

Nvidia can watch this inevitable shift or get ready to offer itself as a platform too.
Not who you responded to, but I worked in college radio for a while. Depending on what CDs they were listening to, generally the label will highlight which tracks are standouts and that you should listen to. Usually it would be 3 or 4 tracks max (generally track 1, 3 and 4 though there are exceptions).

Most tracks are 3 minutes long.. so given an average of lets say 3 songs a cd at 3 minutes each... 100 x 3 x 3 / 60 == 15 hours of listening (hand wavey no time to change cd and stuff...). So yeah probably pushing the limits of reasonable but not quite as crazy as you might think.

Also, although it was unfair to the artist, I would usually make up my mind on pop songs by the end of the first chorus. If I'm not hooked within 1 minute it's probably not going to play on my show. It was brain numbing work, and frankly made me view music as a chore for a few years afterwards... but you can listen to quite a few tracks this way and try and find the few gems amongst the chaff so to speak.
I cannot read the article, but in another thread people pointed out the cause and effect problem: obese people are more likely to do intermittent fasting, and are more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases.
I share your attitude towards inspecting your devices’ traffic being an inaliable right, but AFAICT this hasn’t been the case for a while now.

I believe on Android MITMing even most third party applications (that make zero-to-no effort to prevent this) requires a rooted phone or an emulator running and older Android (8) without Google Play Services and doing a little bit of RE (for instance using some Frida user scripts to patch the apk to circumvent the certificate pinning). I reckon MITMing the actual traffic Google itself can collect would require a lot more RE and network wizardry than I’m even aware of (feel free to link some reading though). Here’s a recent walkthrough I saw in the wild: https://youtu.be/c4wS9n7yilA?si=xAfwCyWIzdrvOiHc

For Apple devices afaict since rooting was…ahem rooted out, no viable amateur-DIY methods for monitoring your devices traffic exist.

I know everything is open source if you’re good enough at assembly but at some point it’s gone from something a tinkerer can do to something you need significant talent and in-depth knowledge to do.

I’d love to read any write-ups or guides to the contrary though.

What if I want to optimize my site for certain classes of users? Say a less than abled person. What if I want to make my product easier to use with various control schemes used by a handicapped person and my product is so complex that tracking this demographic’s usage of my product is the easiest or only way? and what if there is no intent to sell your data?

I could ask permission and delay, or I could just capture the data and run experiments or A/B testing. You should also learn that nobody knows everything, and saying something isn’t required usually is just showing your own ignorance as in almost every case you’ll come across you will find at least one valid use.

My understanding is that there were multiple waves of migration out of Africa, the first being around 2 million years ago.

The first waves were not of anatomically modern humans but Homo erectus and its contemporaries up into modern Georgia, then East into China, then eventually into Indonesia.

Then around 1 million years later, there was another migration of Homo erectus out into Southeast Asia along the coast through India and eventually into Vietnam and Malaysia.

This second migration seems to be what the paper is referencing and definitely the one that, at least 10 years ago, the anthropology community had the least confidence in. My understanding, again dated by a decade now, is that it was uncertain if hominoids entered Europe at that point or not.

Neanderthals left Africa 500,000 years later into Europe while Denisovans left at the same time into Asia ending up concentrated in Serbia.

Modern Humans don't show up until another 400,000 years after that (around 100,000 years ago) and don't leave Africa until 70,000 years ago. They also left Africa in multiple waves with 5 main ones spreading out across the globe.

I've seen people argue on this site that "technology" only means new technology, and that even cars aren't 'tech'.
I had a similar issue when Uber was newer (I don't think they had XL) at SFO, the guy showed up in a little car, and was SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that we had LUGGAGE! At the AIRPORT!

He did not want that on his nice seat, and the trunk would not fit much either since he had his own stuff in there. Silly guy. He made us cancel, old trick, since that makes us pay not him. Support sorted it out.
The ultimate goal of humans / or any other sentient group that secedes us is to escape the heat death of the universe. Like it or not that's what life is for. We're escape artists.
Or you could look at it like this:

Big websites are tracking people, unknowingly to them, giving them lots of power, because information is power these days. And the sites that treat their customers fairly and honestly, ie they just want to offer you their product/service and are not interested in making a profit from your information, are not highlighted for their good intentions.

This law makes the difference clear to users. Maybe most users don't care, like most users don't care about open source, or fair trade products. But I'm personally happy that the EU cares, because I care. And I understand that most people don't care because they are ignorant about the issues and consequences. But I do find it a bit funny that a lot of people on HN don't seem to care. And I think the cookie banners are a good way to start to make people aware of these issues. It won't solve it in one go of course, but at least it starts to make people think about it in some way. And maybe there are better ways, but you gotta start somewhere.

All browsers released since the end of 2015 support HTTP2. If the server supports it the browser will use it. Unlike HTTP3 this is all TCP.

If you connect to a WebSocket over an HTTP2 connection then you don't need to worry about multiplexing since you can rely on the browser doing it for you - HTTP2 connections support over 200 concurrent streams.
And some of these questions apply to more traditional video editing techniques also.

If someone says "I am not a crook" and you edit out the "not", do you need to label it.

What if it is done for parody.

What if the edit is more subtle - where a 1 hour interview is edited into 10 minute excerpts.

Mislabeled videos for propaganda.

Or simply date or place incorrectly stated.

Dramatic recreations as often done in documentaries.

I've installed doors with that system, or a very similar Menard's carries.

Given the choice, I'd opt for it since it is easier to fine tune, but I'm not convinced it's safer than the traditional way. You still have to secure the door against unintentional movement and ensure everything is assembled correctly before tensioning.

The only "safety" feature I see is it eliminates the appeal to use an inadequate tool to tension the spring, so resist the urge to use a flimsy old screwdriver and you'll probably have similar risk either way.
Oh, money is rarely lost (unless it is related to criminal activities, in which case it shouldn't be different with crypto either, at least in an ideal world). But it is quite frequent that banks simply reject to have people as a customer, due to various reasons: they don't like the color of your eye, your job, or they simply get bored with being a bank.

As a very similar example, try getting a green card in the US while maintaining a Swiss bank account, and try stopping the neverending laugh.

It's about financially deplatforming the people for made-up, arbitrary reasons. Sure, this is about a boutique bank for rich yuppies, but the case is not that different from a bank who kicks off a customer for working in the se industry legally, for example.
Theres no "best career", so think of groupings, not one-true-answer.

It can be helpful to have some life goals to plug in as well. Want a family? Want to move a lot? Want to be on the road a lot? Content with comfortable income? Striving for private jet? Looking for fame? Or anonymity?

This can help eliminate areas. For example I-could- be z doctor, but I don't like sick people. So I'd be a bad doctor.

Look at what you enjoy. Most can't make a living doing things you enjoy, but some of us get lucky.

Do you want to work for a steady paycheck, or the unpredictability (and reward?) Of being self employed.

Overall though, I'd say it isn't as big a deal as you probably expect. You're not deciding for the next 40 years. Life takes twists and turns and people often end up far away from where they started.
Culture doesn't seem to be mentioned in TFA. Likely because come an incident it probably can't be influenced much at the time. But attitude can be. People as a team are working together to solve an issue. Humans vs issue. Not teams working to prove it isn't their fault - or is the fault of some other team.

I have been in places where a team can say "Mea culpa" and the worst thing that happens is next incident people grin and give them friendly jibes. Of course reasonable actions (workplaces can be unreasonable too...) are taken to ensure it doesn't happen again but that is simply part of the learning process.

I have also been in places where vast majority think the issue points at one team. They are silent on comms despite being present. Then miraculously the issue is gone. The response to the question of what changed? "Nothing." And we all go to bed having suspicions but no concrete answer...

Attitude is also related to many comments here expressing concerns over "people watching my screen" or "over my shoulder".

In times of crisis, if I am running a line of investigation then having a second pair of eyes is reassuring! If I think "maybe this thing is related" and someone more experienced can simply glance at it and say "Nope" then great. My idea had it's day in the sun and the group can move on.

And if you really really think it is still related then you can keep investigating without people looking - but as a second priority to group.
Europe is better for the rich too, just not for getting even richer. The rich in EU are having great time, there are many hot spots for the billionaire class as well as the other less rich but still wealthy. They only complain about how they can't do whatever they want to the workers and the nature.

Europe is also fine for startups, its just not good for scale ups. When successful with tech and the product, startups go to the USA to try to become gargantuan(which also affects the startups, because investors are less motivated to bet on them becoming scale-ups).
Man Yue Mo worked at Semmle (https://blog.sonatype.com/steps-to-responsible-disclosure) before it was acquired by GitHub (https://github.blog/2019-09-18-github-welcomes-semmle/). That research function has carried on as the GitHub Security Lab.

Semmle built CodeQL, now offered by GitHub (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/intro...), which GitHub and Microsoft (see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/11/02/ann...) want to associate with "deep security insight".

So they continue to fund this kind of novel security research, for which security practitioners across industry are grateful.
This Yahoo! News article [1] (surprisingly) has some good analysis I haven't seen discussed elsewhere. For example, there were significantly more smokers and African Americans in the IF group. Both of these subgroups are more likely to die of cardiovascular causes. It doesn't mean that there's "no there there", but it sure points in that direction.

“Walkable” and “grid” are orthogonal concerns.

London and Tokyo are two examples of very walkable non-grids, which I prefer to American grid-based city planning — the random connections fuel serendipity.

I think the problem in modern suburbs is really fortress-like unconnected developments, which also appear in urban form as overscaled block+ monoliths. The Metreon in San Francisco is a good example, or the ugly “italianate” Geoff Palmer apartment blocks around downtown Los Angeles.
100% agree. When we installed it we looked at the setup.sh and extracted what was needed from it. It was as simple as:

curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/docker-compose.yml
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/variables.env
vim .env # adjust for your environment
docker compose up -d

I really don't understand how the above is too complex that it required the creation of a bash script.

Some other notable docker-based projects that I've seen require an .sh are Sentry [1] and Postal [2].

If you want the fastest cross-platform native app. Build a native app for each platform and have the design teams review each other's work so everyone stays roughly on the same page.

You're not going to hit your responsiveness goals otherwise. And it's not going to feel native otherwise (if anyone actually cares about that anymore, I dunno)
You should of course prioritize low hanging fruit and eliminate flying, car use, meat, low efficiency housing, etc. But thinking that it's only worth doing these one at a time serially is a fallacy, as is getting stuck on the low impact of individual actions. Dividing the emissions pie to insignificant slices and then arguing that nothing significant can be done is just fooling yourself into inaction.

Regarding horses, pointing out the emissions angle in response to "why would I care about power consumption" is basic table stakes in the world's current situation, no need to get offended.
Thank you for highlighting the timing of our posts. The first thread served as an introduction to Multiwoven, broadly outlining its purpose and capabilities. This post, however, is focused on the technical details of the Multiwoven protocol, a key component of our platform that deserves its own spotlight.

We're shifting the conversation to the technical workings, particularly how the Multiwoven protocol simplifies and speeds up the integration of various connectors. This insight is valuable for those grappling with technical hurdles in the Reverse ETL field. We believe that delving into the architecture and utility of the protocol offers a fresh and intriguing perspective for the Hacker News community, differentiating it from our previous overview.

For an in-depth understanding of the technical advantages and workings of the Multiwoven protocol, we encourage interested individuals to visit: https://docs.multiwoven.com/guides/architecture/multiwoven-p....
No, that's libertarianism. Libertarianism and conservatism often overlap, especially in the US (which has a long tradition of limited gov't to conserve), but are not the same thing.

As a self-identified conservative, if I had to give as short a summary as possible of what it means to me: we (US, other developed nations) have a pretty good thing going. The least well off 10% here live better lives than the top 10% of a large number of places. That didn't happen by magic or accident, it happened because the people who preceded ud, over centuries of history, made some very good choices. We should figure out what they did right, and then keep doing it.
Yup. The original ES32, ESP32-S2, and ESP32-S3 use Xtensa, but the ESP32-C2, -C3, -C6, and -H2 use RISC-V.

Unfortunately they don't all have the same feature set, so you'll often still see the Xtensa variants in the wild as they are are simply a better product overall.

I’m not sure that the implementation is the real issue. Mastodon posts can be exported already. Writing the import code wouldn’t be that hard. But why would a Mastodon server’s admins want to let a brand new login post a big pile of backdated posts all at once? It seems spammy and the moderation workload scales with the number of posts.

Maybe a dedicated archive would be better. It would be a matter of generating a static website from the export. Nobody else would need to moderate it, because it’s not their website.
