Sorry, calling bullshit. Here you go,

390k 1,000 ft starter home, two bedrooms two bathrooms, in a literal beachfront town in southern California where you are at most a 10-minute walk from the water. Oh you're picturing something more mcmansion like, sorry that may take a little extra creativity and luck. But you absolutely do not need to spend 2 million, 1 million or even half a million, to live in a highly desirable area in this country. It took me all of about 30 seconds to find, granted I live in the area and have a general sense of where to look for something like this but zooming around the map will find dozens of such examples.

This house is 390K. A few pennies short of a million much less 2.

All in, because sellers pay all fees so the price shown is 95-100% what you pay.

With decent credit you could get this with 10% down, now 40K in the bank is not exactly couch money but it's nowhere near beyond the reach of a single person, much less a couple, before kids and who jointly make an absolutely reasonable 70 to 90k combined given the area that you'd be in.

> If you look at the price of nuclear vs. solar it just doesn't make economic sense to build nuclear anymore.

Not true. Well, unless you fall for nonsense like the Lazard "study" that looked at exactly 1 nuclear power plant, the most expensive one ever built, and used that as "the cost of nuclear". Except that wasn't enough. They also had to lower the expected life of the plant.

When you look at actual costs, nuclear LCOE is highly competitive.

When you start looking at system cost (grid, storage, overcapacity required due to intermittency) nuclear becomes an incredible bargain and renewables are completely unaffordable.

Of course you can also look at actual electricity prices: electricity in France has been cheaper than in Germany for decades. And 7x cleaner.
I don't think the point here changes all that much if you change this to two servers and a load balancer. That's still a pretty simple setup.

But I also think that many applications are far more tolerant of small outages than you imply. And a more complex setup also adds more points that can lead to an outage even though it reduces the chance that hardware will cause one.
I don't disagree with the proposed idea of paying for review, but I would prefer also to have guardrails to ensure a good review. I would be willing to pay for a good review because it makes the paper/investigation better. But let's face it: under the current paradigm, there are also a lot of really bad reviews. It's one thing when it's apparent that a reviewer doesn't understand something because of a lack of clarity in the writing. But it's also extremely frustrating when it's obvious the reviewer hasn't even bothered to carefully read the manuscript.

Under a payment paradigm, we need mechanisms to limit the incentive to maximize throughput as a means of getting the most pay and instead maximize the review quality. I assume there'd be good ways to do that, but I don't know what those would be.
I do think you can build products and services that people will capital-L Love, even forgiving some warts too, but the bar for that is very high. I’m very skeptical of tech businesses not led by engineers for exactly this reason (the incentives don’t align with a level of quality people will care deeply about).
Mermaid solves the problem for me for now.

This completely fails to address the significance of the word "viable" in MVP - it's only meaningful if we define what it's viable _for_.

In a startup it may be "viable to test a hypothesis", in a running business it may be "viable to implement a new workflow". In either case the logic of the MVP approach holds - do the least you need to do to learn what to do next.

One could argue that "simple" in their SLC is analogous to "minimal", and "lovable" to "viable".

If A16Z are allowed to buy thousands of their own crypto-hype essay in order to get it listed on NYT best-seller and drive shitcoin prices up, I don't see why random netizens could not do the same kind of things…

Of course we could ban both.
When I googled it, it was a little murky on if it's allowed, and sometimes it was the analyst's employer that banned it. What is legal is different parts of the same ~bank not being as independent as they should be, so the kid's argument that the big boys do the same thing wasn't entirely wrong.
This is exactly why I refused to keep listening to psychiatrists. The ratio of diagnosis precision vs treatment risks is insanely bad.
Looking at the timeline cited in this article, there appear to be many predecessors to the Kodak camera Sasson developed [0].

The title submitted to HN doesn’t match reality- Sasson’s was perhaps the first portable digital still camera, i.e. with onboard battery and storage. Presumably previous examples (like the Fairchild cameras depicted) needed a separate power supply and microcomputer for processing and storage.

Ultimately this feels like calling Tim B-L the “inventor” of the internet. We like to pick a name for credit but of course it’s always a more complicated story with many significant (perhaps more significant) contributors along the way.

People say this and it’s always a head scratcher for me because deadlifts are the easiest compound lift to get the form right on and if you have good form, warm up, and only add 5-10lbs per workout it’s basically impossible to hurt yourself with deadlifts. So I actually recommend them as the lift to do if you only do a single compound lift. They take the least amount of time (you only need a single work set 2x/week) and you get the most everyday benefit out of them. Plus everyone has room for a barbell and plates in their home, even if they don’t have room for a squat rack.
I think we need to find ways of giving status to reproducing studies. Maybe not as much as novelty, but definitely something greater than what it is currently.

Forget the factory. A skateboard, a scooter and a car are not similar enough for this to make much sense.

Tesla pulled off an MVP, the Roadster, that actually made sense: they built a drivetrain (which was their actual innovation) and sold inside someone else’s car. It was minimal: they focused on what would distinguish them (it was a fast EV!) but didn’t have much else going on; it was viable (one could drive it and have fun); and it was a product (one could actually buy it).

But it was a car, not a skateboard or a scooter. It demonstrated that they could build an electric car that was fun to drive and had respectable range. An electric scooter wouldn’t have done that, and might not have had much to distinguish Tesla from, say, Mission Motors. Scooters have been able to go large distances with small amounts of fuel for a long time.

We focus a lot on luxury in the US, and I find the lack of adjustable bidets surprising.

It is pure luxury to be able to sit there, push a few buttons on a panel on the wall next to you, and have a warm jet of water wash you in exactly the place you need to be washed. The alternative - what virtually every American does to clean themselves - is comparatively barbaric.

I actually think some of the resistance to bringing bidets into the typical American household is pride - not wanting to admit that another people/country does something better. To adopt bidets would be to admit that we were in some way not as smart or as advanced as we think we are relative to the rest of the world. (This may sound ridiculous, but from what I experience in Texas I can attest that it is real.)
> Nowadays I open Aegis and I have > 20 services there, and trying to look for my code between all the running numbers is a pain.

I just click search and type 2-3 characters and most of the time I can see what I need right away. I'm using way over 20 services with 2FA and that's really the least of my concern.

And I actually don't use search that much since Aegis also has a feature of sorting by the usage so whatever I'm using regularly are already at the top for me.
> the whole point of salary is that you trust workers to be available in working hours and get assigned tasks done

This is becoming a popular framing but I see no reason it should be accepted as ground truth. If you’re paid a full time salary, you can be reasonably expected to actually do work, full time.

> If someone finishes in 20 hours I don't see why they are "rewarded" with twice the work for not twice the pay.

Because you already signed a contract saying you’d get paid X on a full time basis. Maybe try adding a doubling clause to get to 40 hours per week and see how it’s received.

I’m not even opposed to taking down weeks. I do that. Sometimes life gets in the way, someone’s you feel less motivated. I’m not talking about sick/PTO, I’m acknowledging that nobody can fire on all cylinders all the time. I also have weeks where I am on fire and get a lot done because I just want to.

But it seems to me that if this happens:

> You can increase their workload if you want in the next meeting

You’d be upset, or deceitful, in order to maintain your half-time effort always and forever, which I don’t think is ok. Someone above mentioned working second jobs, which yes, is working hard, I’ve done it, but if it’s being hidden from someone that thinks you’re working full time, that’s not ok. In fact it distorts market expectations with invisible parameters. It makes it worse for everyone else.

It sounds like your work situation sucks right now, I get that, I’ve worked bad jobs. But I think you would be wrong to carry such a cynical and jaded mindset into a place that actually respects you and wants to work together. Granted those are very hard to find, and in any company of more than like 20 people you are guaranteed to run into an asshole and the best you can hope for is to find a little oasis of a team within. Just don’t take advantage of that team if you’re ever lucky enough to find it.

To me, it depends on what you think Unicode’s priorities should be.

Let’s consider the opposite approach, that any letters that render the same should collapse to the same code point. What about Cherokee letter “go” (Ꭺ) versus the Latin A? What if they’re not precisely the same? Should lowercase l and capital I have the same encoding? What about the Roman numeral for 1 versus the letter I? Doesn’t it depend on the font too? How exactly do you draw the line?

If Unicode sets out to say “no two letters that render the same shall ever have different encodings”, all it takes is one counterexample to break software. And I don’t think we’d ever get everyone to agree on whether certain letters should be distinct or not. Look at Han unification (and how poorly it was received) for examples of this.

To me it’s much more sane to say that some written languages have visual overlap in their glyphs, and that’s to be expected, and if you want to prevent two similar looking strings from being confused with one another, you’re going to have to deploy an algorithm to de-dupe them. (Unicode even has an official list of this called “confusables”, devoted to helping you solve this.)
The discussion here is not the method of deployment, but the infra architecture.

You don't need k8s, containers, and multiple cloud instances to automate deployment.

It's perfectly possible and simple to implement a button to deploy on a single machine.

Heck, on OVH or Hetzner, you can have a dedicated bare metal machine with many cores and RAM exclusive to you, cheaper than famous cloud instances. These bare metals will handle what takes sometimes hundreds of containers to handle, with a much simple and easy to maintain infra.

Show HN: Practical typography résumé template recreated in LaTeX
Most of the resume templates are so large and convoluted that it becomes a nightmare when you try to modify the formatting even slightly. I understand that it's required to cover many edge cases but it feels bloated to use a 800 lines long custom class for a one page résumé.

I tried to create a template that uses the basic LaTeX commands, keeping it easy to follow and modify.

In the Milky rover template I tried recreate the beautiful sample shown in Practical typography. Considering it's not using the same fonts, how close is it to the real thing?
If you can refactor it then it isn't data, just programming bookkeeping. Some programming bookkeeping is tied to data, but a lot of it isn't.

For example, you can often add or remove state of things without changing how the program works.

I can’t confirm but it does look like a significant portion of current software engineering zeitgeist is developed for compartmentalized careerism with a good splash of non-value adding complexity.

If that keeps food on the table and the wheels of business spinning, fine, but I’ve seen this leading to situations where a simple thing expands to a role, and then department and … oh, hi, enterprise software, it’s you!

If the intended audience is reading it, I would agree. However, many reviewers seem to be assigned and agree to review a topic that they are ill-equipped to understand without a substantial amount of background knowledge.

A good reviewer in this situation will review the referenced papers to bolster their understanding. A bad reviewer will expect everything to be spelled out within the manuscript, and, unfortunately, the length limits often don't permit that kind of write-up.
Yeah they will work, but they will also be unnecessary. You will also bake all sorts of logic into your application that will be solved natively on the stronger model. If you believe in the scaling theory, then writing LLM applications is non sensical.

For successful companies the rules are different. They can’t afford to push out crap to see what sticks because their customers will get pissed. If you have no customers, you need to iterate much more quickly until you find something that can viably get you some customers. Or you can do an SLC as a startup if you are VERY confident you are doing something people will love. That confidence can pay off, but playing the odds it usually doesn’t.

Well, the hardware, yes. But you are expected to compile your own software... Windows doesn't exist on Longsoon (AFAIK), and no notable distro have ready made image, nor package repository for this arch (not in the west at least. Are there such in China?). You can make it work with not a lot of effort of course, but I wonder if this is really what government folks do in their lunch break.

Sometimes, this is precisely what you need.

The problem with what is described in the article is the race condition. If you hit the race on your one pass through this code, you're dead.

But there are other conditions whether you know you will repeatedly pass through the code, and the race doesn't matter.

So the language/programming model has abstractions that can be used successfully for the latter. This has the unfortunate side effect of them also being capable of being used to create bugs in the former.

If you want a real world example of this sort of thing, consider a single-reader/single-write circular buffer/queue. You don't need any sort of interlock between the read ptr/index and the write ptr/index for this sort of data structure because if they mis-ordered (ie. the writer has added more data but not yet updated the write ptr), the worst that can happen is that the reader thinks there is less data in the buffer to read than there actually is.

However, that analysis relies on the model that the reader and writer are periodically checking the data structure. If instead they are both doing a single write and a single read, this same design will lead to loss of data flow between them. To ensure this doesn't happen, you need a mutex that they both share.

So is the right thing to do to require any such shared data to be protected by a mutex? Well, if you're only goal is to prevent data races, then sure. But if you also care about e.g. realtime behavior, then absolutely not.

This is just one example. There are many more cases where in case A you don't want or need synchronization primitives and in case B you absolutely do.

Many years ago I read an article about a venture capitalist (I think) who took over the ailing Avis car rental company. He said that the most important thing he did to turn around the company was to fix a deadline of one month for all decisions. If you have been trying to work out which of several options to choose and have spent more than a month on it then you just toss a coin.

The rationale is that no amount of analysis will guarantee the right choice so more time is just a waste when you could be finding out in real life whether or not your decision was right. Instead of spending six months agonizing over the decision and still making the wrong one you get to make that wrong decision five months earlier and discover a month later that it was wrong. Now you are four months ahead and can go for one of the other options.
