Simply put, I found deploying a Django app on an EC2 instance to be a huge pain. Getting letsencrypt certs through nginx, setting up routes to a unix socket, choosing between WSGI and ASGI. Docker compose can help orchestrate these processes more easily, but its still a non-trivial amount of complexity. This isn't a documentation problem, but a personal distaste for the architecture.

This is the problem your first quote actually solves. I didn't fabricate a fake problem, I felt a real one.

Deploying a pocketbase application is as simple as getting a binary on a server with a HTTPS configured firewall, and giving it a domain name. I launched both deploysolo.com and deploysolodemo.com in a tmux instance, which isn't a great permanent solution, but a testament to ease of deployment for a market validation phase.

The "for engineers" generally comes from the fact that many web software engineers enjoy the Go ecosystem, and they can take a lot of their expertise creating HTTP routes into a SaaS boilerplate that solves common problems out of the box. Reinventing the wheel sucks when you have a business idea to get out into the world.

Anyway truly thank you for the feedback, I'm still learning and not trying to use grandiose language to extract money. I'm just trying my best to create something that helps people create their own value.
Not all college students are the same, I used office hours to get help building things, designing things, and to better understand the materials, especially when I got into silicon fabrication and electromagnetics, it was fascinating, learning exactly, in detail, how a PC works at the atomic level.

Ask HN: Solo devs – what do you use to manage your tasks?
Curious what solo devs (or folks that work in 1-3 person startups) use for task management? I'm assuming the typical tools (ie. jira) are overkill, so curious if you're using trello, linear, or something else?

Also curious what you like / dislike, and if there's a feature(s) you wish existed but didn't

Lastly, if you'd care to share, do you use it only for work or personal too?

I have no idea how Silicon Valley could be held responsible for an Israeli intelligence failure. Israel is not a part of the U.S.

The author exhibits essentially zero knowledge of the advances in military intelligence in the past 10-20 years. He’s talking about problems in the Vietnam war and IBM 360 mainframes as if all of the stuff Macnamara dreamed of weren’t daily reality now.
I mean, other than very old games (try running Sid Meier's Pirates under proton! it's barely playable) and user-hostile games (if the developers use anticheats which block Linux on purpose, that's not really Linux's fault) we are at least 95% of the way there.

Sure, there will always be someone who will complain that "Valorant doesn't run on Linux" but the overwhelming majority of games do.
I wonder if it's better to have a lot of small hits or a few big hits and many misses in regard to replication. If the studies which have the greatest implications replicate, then maybe many misses is not that bad.

You probably know this already, but for anyone else curious about going down that road: For this type of use, it's definitely worth it to constrain yourself to FPGAs with dedicated high-bandwidth transceivers. A "basic" 1080p RGB signal at 60hz requires some high-frequency signal processing that's really hard to contend with in pure FPGA-land.

I haven't seen any other response mention it yet, but containers are also heavily used for web-exposed services in part because of address space and port contention. Network namespaces allow you to graft an overlay network onto your physical network in a relatively simple and easy way (not that it's actually easy, but networking never is).

Otherwise, sure, nix can rewrite the RPATH in your ELF file to make it pull dynamic libs from the nix store, but what does it do when two processes both want to listen on ports 80 and 443?

Possibly, if the Internet ever actually goes pure IPv6, one LAN will have enough addresses to assign one to each process instead of each host.

There are, of course, other ways to handle it. People used vhosts predominantly defined in a dedicated web server that was really only a reverse proxy, but now you need nix and nginx. Then you discover you also want resource isolation. Is there a userspace alternative to cGroups? I don't see how there could even in principle be an alternative to PID/UID namespaces and UID/GID submapping. Some things have to happen in the kernel and that means containers of some sort. It doesn't have to be the exact OCI standard that eventually grew out of Docker and eventually Kubernetes, but some kind of container.

If I could give you a thousand upvotes...

Yeah. I've gotten tired of replying to the myriad "how can I 3D print an enclosure for my project?" questions that electronic enclosures are a mature product category and there are literally hundreds of thousands of varieties available off the shelf at prices your 3D printer can't touch.

Need something with weird custom shapes that likely no one else has ever needed? Go ahead and 3D print.

Need a generic box-like thing, with or without a clear cover, made from a wide selection of materials, with or without ingress-protection ratings and/or hand held, wrist-mounted, rack-mounted, desktop or wall mounted, or clipped to a belt strap in enough variations and sizes to make your head spin? Buy it off the shelf.

I think one of the things that scares me most about API-accessed LLMs is how powerful they are as data collection tools in their own right. OpenAI, for example, recently updated their terms of use to be more vague about how they work with the gov and I have no doubts that giving the NSA access to conversational feeds is absolutely a requirement to their continued operation as an entity, a la lavabit.

In fact, part of me thinks that the Sam/Ilya drama and sam's god complex are at least partially rooted in this, alleged, collaboration.

Imagine the questions you could pose to a GPT trained on all the conversations had with users that's been enriched with their biographical data. These conversations are often intimate and curiosity driven in a way that seeking the truth could easily be framed as self-radicalization.

There are quite a few cases where people say "Rust wouldn't have fixed" this and they're a real mixed bag of whether that's right or wrong or hard to say, partly because in fact Rust's safety culture isn't just about memory safety.

So e.g. there are some logic bugs where you're like yeah, I'd totally write that same bug in Rust but there are also arithmetic bugs where the problem arises because C++ inherits C's um, exciting "integer promotion" rules and Rust doesn't have those, far more of such situations in a Rust codebase are going to cause a puzzled programmer to investigate what really is going on with these integers and not write the bug.

Or there are type safety bugs where in Rust that mistake just won't compile, but in C++ it will compile it just has astonishing results. Obviously you can't write those bugs in Rust.

There's also a lot of contribution from ergonomics considerations where Rust's "Empowering everyone" idea means they think about library and feature design not just from the perspective of an expert but also a beginner, someone learning or maybe familiar with the rest of the language but not this particular feature. In C++ sort() is the unstable sort, if you don't know what unstable sorting is, you're given no clue that this might have consequences which astonish you. In Rust that sort is still there, but it's named sort_unstable() -- cuing a novice to read up about this idea before they are surprised. If they just write sort() they get a stable sort instead.

I grew up in a rural area. In my late 20s, I went to community college in an suburban area.

The entrance exam was populated with HS grads and me. I was from the final generation with constant access to adult-free + free range hours. Everyone else was in the early wave of kids with locked-down, 24/7 adulted childhoods.

Their education was comparable to mine - in quality, behavior etc (my kids attended their schools).

I was one of a handful that didn't have to start off with remedial classes.

Here's the great secret: do not try to stay 'sane.' No one here gets out alive, so embrace the suck. Make it your own.
Ridiculous. You must be talking about learning only the syntax of a new language. Truly internalizing how to wield a new language will take months to years.

A dev that switched from language X to Y "in a few days" will just write X using Y syntax. Here's a good example of going from Java to Python: https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=1327.

I was replying to a post with a link about Gemini's bias, so discussing Gemini's bias seems rather on-topic.

Not sure what triggered you, but calm down.
It’s no wonder. English isn’t known for its expressiveness. That’s one of the many reasons why it’s commonly used in the tech industry for defining reserved keywords in programming languages; its simplicity compared to other languages makes it ideal for that purpose.
The models are commodities, and the API's are even similar enough that there is zero stickiness. I can swap one model for another, and usually not have to change anything about my prompts or rag pipelines.

For startups, the lesson here is don't be in the business of building models. Be in the business of using models. The cost of using AI will probably continue to trend lower for the foreseeable future... but you can build a moat in the business layer.
The whole first half of the article is a veiled implication that he was killed.

"he was upbeat about his testimony, feeling he was finally able to tell the story of his efforts to get the company to take safety more seriously"

The police said it was “a self-inflicted wound.” (Are those quotes or air quotes? cause they feel like the latter).

" No one can believe it."

"A family friend told ABC News that he had told her, “I ain’t scared, but if anything happens to me, it’s not suicide.” "

"The internet lit up. It was an “alleged suicide,” or “an apparent suicide.”"

and then... "it's suspicious, but nobody's going to look into it harder than they have."

At no point did the author of the article cover what the actual family said. That the man was ready to be a statistic from stress. Boeing was the source of that stress.

By opening up the article leaning into the conspiracy theory side of things, it only serves to discredit the rest of the content.

The narrative of "his doctor told him to quit the dam job or have a heart attack" ... "the situation gave him anxiety and PTSD" is another strike against Boeing in all this. He becomes a man pushed to, and over the brink by a corporate giant. Considering the circumstances that sounds awful and reasonable.
That's an interesting theoretical question.

Unfortunately the reality is that the more interesting and quotable the result is, the less likely it is to replicate. So replication problems most strongly hit things that seem like they should have the greatest implications.

Kind of a "worst of all worlds" scenario.
Great argument for why we don't need both.
But that’s not what he’s saying. Being hungry does not cause you to eat. Regardless of hunger, a caloric deficit will result in weight loss.

There definitely is the issue of how to reliably maintain a caloric deficit when your body is screaming at you to eat more, but the underlying mechanism is much simpler.

At the most basic levels, food choice doesn’t even really matter (specifically for weight loss, not general health), but choosing satiating foods with low calories is going to help with implementation. Eating 2,000 calories of oranges (45) is going to be a lot harder than 2,000 calories of fast food hamburgers (2).

“Classist” is a faux-woke term for the belief that certain socioeconomic groups are better than others. If you believe that certain socioeconomic groups are inferior compared to [probably upper-middle class people] then that is by definition classist.

> I would much prefer a multiplatform native toolkit as a first class citizen in Rust

It's extremely hard to make a proper cross-platform kit. Because every platform has a gazillion little (and not-so-little) conventions about what's expected, behaviours, and even control placements. Even Qt struggles there and they have been doing it for over 30 years.
Your link is about rate of growth of population, your claim is about population.

The basis of your first paragraph will be true in the future, but is not yet (unless you define 30s and 40s as old).

The thing that makes the dynamic in your argument true is that young people do not (or cannot) vote and participate in the political process as much as old people can.

We have people who can no longer produce, but want to consume (and their potential beneficiaries) on one side, and on the other we have people can produce. The former group need to collect rent from the latter group, otherwise they offer nothing to the latter group in exchange for their production.

Which is funny when I see young people advocate for income taxes, when they should be advocating for property/inheritance taxes.
The Chicago School was criticised not only by behavioural economists and psychologists, though, but also by other (fairly orthodox, eg New Keynesian) economists [0].

But kubernetes has very good support for segmenting applications and long running processes, you don't even have to segment the nodes, you can just "let it happen" (although you should probably segment the nodes somewhat). You can set (anti) affinity for example to make applications not tolerate each other when scheduled etc. And there are quite a few more knobs the scheduler has that you can tune.
Because even in 2024 there is still the unavoidable need not to repeat huge chunks of code such as the page layout, menus, headers and metadata in every single page of the website.

And because even in 2024, good SEO requires that the content be directly in the HTML source, even without JavaScript.

Also there is no such "old fashioned way". The old fashioned way was to use frames, server side includes with Apache (before PHP became popular), or have WYSIWYG tools do it for you.
Because writing text in plain text files and maybe having markdown for formatting is more preferable than shoving it in HTML files. Also reducing redundancy is nice, e.g. having header in its own file rather copied in every page.
