Backblaze have written many blog posts on how they go from a few thousand hard drives to a business. For me, the most interesting part was they went from six generations of self designed storage pods to "fuck it, just buy Dell". Long story short: these businesses are surprisingly complicated.

Why the hell are you going to abandon the app that you have and where all of your friends are? What incentive do you have? RCS isn't even feature-complete compared to WhatsApp and has for example no encryption.
Despite the answer being yes, IMO it's pretty clear that the question is disingenuous, otherwise why did they add support for WebP and AVIF? The question applies equally to them.
For every militant they correctly identify (90% of the time, they'd have us believe) and kill, they also kill dozens of innocents. This doesn't give them pause; on the contrary the Israeli public revels in the carnage and bring out lawn chairs to watch. It's genocide.
Interesting is that there is no Chinese universities in top 10 in ranking created by Shanghai university..
It might explain why rich kids are even more depressed than poor ones.

Celeb culture helps implant the notion that rich people are more dissatisfied with life or have more dysfunctional lives, because ordinary people who are depressed or dysfunctional get no media coverage.
One of the things that people miss is that a "stack" was not just for recursion.

A "stack" was also a small memory, single thread optimization because it allows you to multiplex memory for function calls. If two functions do not call each other, they can share the memory used for their activation records.

Keeping track of this memory multiplexing in the compilers of the day would have been very hard and highly memory intensive--a stack solves that problem.

Without a stack, your memory usage (static) goes as O(n) with the number of functions. With a stack, your memory usage (dynamic) goes as O(n) with the depth of function calls. The memory usage of these two scenarios is wildly different.
Very good name choice. An accurate combination of law and ender
It's regular old JPEG1. I don't know the details, but it turns out that "8 bit" JPEG actually has enough precision in the format to squeeze out another 2.5 bits, as long as both the encoder and the decoder use high precision math.
I see some comments here regarding Google or Meta market dominance, but the root issue is the open web's transition to controlled platforms. The rise of discord, twitch, or TikTok point to a continued trend and not a reversal. If I am a leader in content discovery or information aggregation, then I will have to work with the existing platforms like reddit to surface information. If Discord made itself discoverable, then search engines would instantly drive organic traffic to discord servers. But it is a closed platform. Forums fell in popularity for platforms with mobile apps that offer consistent interfaces, single user names, and easy-to-use community tools. The market is wide open for new content discoverability solutions but one would have to solve for the closed platforms dominating internet discourse today.

I cite Discord because it is text-first compared to Twitch. As an elder millennial, I find myself using Discord to interact with niche communities. For example, I care about a specific synthesizer emulation project. They have a discord server where we can discuss feature releases or music in general. Twenty years ago this community would be its own forum or a thread on a larger forum. https://dsp56300.wordpress.com

Lastly, if discoverability is monopolized by one player, then why and how did TikTok explode in the last five years? It is not the front page of the internet for all, but it is for certain age groups.
That seems like a very very political site judging from the other articles - also seems ai generated half of it - sure this holds up?
Looks really interesting. Is it wrapping git for the rollback and diffing stuff? If I were a user I'd probably opt to use git directly for that sort of thing.
Does grinding help the extraction? I just steep the threads for ten minutes in freshly-boiled water, then strain them (my mother was not a great cook, and I don't think she ever used saffron).
Paradoxically there has never been another moment in all of human history greater than right now for an individual to seek their own happiness. A lot of this just comes down to comparison. We see wealth and excess as the norm to strive toward now, and that anything less is considered failure. There is no "honor in the struggle" anymore. It's just "Why don't I have that thing already? My life sucks".
I would say that increasing RAM to avoid engineering a solution has long been a successful strategy.

i learned my RAM lesson when I bought my first real linux PC. it had 4MB of RAM, which was enough to run X, bash, xterm, and emacs. But once I ran all that and also wanted to compile with g++, it would start swapping, which in the days of slow hard drives, was death to productivity.

I spent $200 to double to 8MB, and then another $200 to double to 16MB, and then finally, $200 to max out the RAM on my machine-- 32MB! And once I did that everything flew.

Rather than attempting to solve the problem by making emacs (eight megs and constantly swapping) use less RAM, or find a way to hack without X, I deployed money to max out my machine (which was practical, but not realistically available to me unless I gave up other things in life for the short term). Not only was I more productive, I used that time to work on other engineering problems which helped build my career, while also learning an important lesson about swapping/paging.

People demand RAM and what was not practically available is often available 2 years later as standard. Seems like a great approach to me, especially if you don't have enough smart engineers to work around problems like that (see "How would you sort 4M integers in 2M of RAM?")

I made the Checkbot SEO extension (https://www.checkbot.io/). Common HTML/CSS errors are fairly minor and aren't going to impact ranking, but are usually worth fixing to prevent potential problems.

Really serious HTML/CSS errors could get in the way of users and search bots from viewing and understanding a page though. For example, broken HTML might lead to broken links, broken heading tags, broken meta tags and broken images, which could have some impact on ranking.

So Checkbot isn't saying you can't rank well if you fail HTML validation (and it's very, very unlikely to be the issue in the article), but it's probably a good idea to fix it. It's really up to you to look at the errors found and decide if it's worth prioritising a fix, like you would with any other linting tool.
> Have one array grow normally from location#0, and the second array grow backwards from location#End.

Fun fact: Itanium had two stacks, one for manual push/pop and another for cycling through the register file. One stack grew upward, another grew downward. A fascinating architecture, though it never delivered the promised performance.
> And where are the analogues for stuff like emotions,

My mental model for emotions is an arena of competing monomaniacal agents each trained over evolutionary time. Whether it's lust or jealousy or greed, each one at some point <insert just-so story just like we do for genes>. The prediction from each emotion is the next action that will result in more resources, more offsprings surviving to reproductive age, etc.

Kind of related thought - is there a topic you think is more divisive? And also, is there some way that this is measured officially or unofficially?
It's disappointing that this response linked by OP was posted at all. And even more disappointing because context gets lost every time it shows up on HN.

The linked email is from an HPE/Cray employee interacting with the upstream gcc team, not from anyone in the U.S. government.

The U.S. Government, via lots of programs, national labs, etc. does pay people (and companies) to work on open source code. This has at various points included LLVM, clang, flang, gcc, and many other projects. We like it when things get upstreamed and we also contribute ourselves to these projects.

Certain companies' willingness to put in the work required to upstream has been an issue at times, but it is improving and it's something that we push on very hard.
My guess is that the answer is taking advantage of existing NG infrastructure.
Their revealed preference is not to live in freedom, but instead to take potshots at Israel in an attempt to preserve their local support.
Thanks. I would have assumed cutting firewood would have involved a chainsaw but apparently not.

Hello, I’m a full stack engineer with a knack for creating functional, user-friendly & visually appealing applications.

I have had a diverse range of professional experiences working with early stage startups across various industries (esp. Travel, Finance, Healthcare & Eco).

I’m open to part-time/contract work. Also feel free to reach out to me if you're not hiring immediately.
> why not just use hydrogen directly and skip the inefficiency and cost of direct air capture of CO2 and of making methane?

Broadly speaking, one key reason is that we've already got the infrastructure in place for using methane (and other hydrocarbons) whereas we do not have this for hydrogen.

Another point is that this really isn't an either-or proposition: if people want hydrogen, then the Terraform electrolyzer can in principle provide it.
I am curious what the motivating use case was for creating this? Where did things break down with other tools?
I would guess because natural gas has hundreds of years of us handling it, and we already have a lot of things from power generators to domestic driers that consume it.
This is a dumb road to go down because the finger pointing is almost infinite. This conflict has been very active for decades now.
aipac is rather minor donor/lobbyist in usa. you should look up statistics.

those billions are peanuts in israeli budget. majority of population in israel in favor of stopping taking it. it works actually as lever that usa is using, so it actually beneficial to usa (and all the money going back to it anyway)

usa doesn't grovel at feet of bibi. it just usa has more guts than other countries to support israel.
Nah, I really don't think so. There were periods of economic booms and less inequality, those gave people more margin for error.
Im not saying Israel is evil. Id come to the same conclusion in their shoes, absolutely a shitty situation. Theyre probably right that they will never be able to live safely next to palestinians. That doesnt mean I will go along as they oppress the Palestinians though.
Ask HN: Is a Geo-Based Audio Chat App Viable? (For the Blind Community)
Hi hackers, I'm a blind programmer who loves chatting. Text chats with screen readers aren't ideal, so I'm building a location-based audio chat app for easy neighborhood connections. Think of it as an audio-based YikYak for your area.

The technical side is manageable, but I need help with the human aspect:

1. Spam Control: How can we prevent misuse?
2. Monetization: How can we discourage self-promotion?
3. Safety: Would age restrictions help combat bullying?

Looking for insights from product managers on tackling these non-technical challenges. Thanks!
I went to law school to do that, but without that you can start by focusing on an area of law called "business associations/corporations." There are resources online to assist law students studying for exams in that class so you can use those to get a grounding in the concepts of agency law and partnerships.

From there you can start to specialize in more specific structures by examining the filings of public companies or scouring the web to figure out how a particular fund you are interested in is structured.

To let you know, it is further complicated in US law by each state having different corporate rules. If you go with Delaware or New York it's probably your best bet for public, but closely held or private companies could be anywhere. As a starting place, most states adopt the Revised Uniform Partnership Act, or RUPA - that is available online through law.cornell.edu
That person must have never heard of Isaac Newton's First law of motion.
I consider codec to mean a pair of encoder and decoder programs.

I don't consider it to necessarily mean a new data format.

One data format can be implemented by multiple codecs.

Semantics and nomenclature within our field is likely underdeveloped and the use of these terms varies.
I'm pretty sure this company is pretty apolitical and would like to stay out of the discussion entirely.
Cloudflare practically has a stranglehold on the modern Internet. I would bet money they would be immediately profitable if they killed their free tier. There aren't that many competitors, and I don't know if they've got the spare capacity to absorb all the exodus.

I'm not so sure about Backblaze. I don't even think they're the biggest player in that space (AWS is, I would guess). I would guess most people could migrate off if Backblaze turned south.
That makes sense, I figured it was related to some of the statistics work in ecology estimating species count from a limited sample.

I guess that would explain why I'm not seeing them -- I always use ad blockers, and steer clear of company-supplied apps. If ads should start getting through, they've lost a customer.
This makes me curious on what type of data my bank (and others) share with companies involved in these ad/offer-type systems.

This announcement doesn't seem like it's anything new on the consumer side, instead it's a platform for brands to access the data from their ads/offers, create campaigns, etc.
I think they know seeing as they renamed the files with the .backdoored suffix.

But I think you're referring to the fact that it was dormant code.

I still thought it worth mentioning in the context of a website that seemed to list all distros affected.

Yes, but if the directives go against the ECHR, they cannot be implemented in any member state.

Actually, yes. Same with voter registration. Hell in WA state voter registration is public knowledge, along with whether you voted in any given election.

How much of this is due to richer kids having more access to mental health resources? While I wasn't poor growing up, my parents didn't have the means to let me see mental health professionals and as a result I went undiagnosed for 21 years.
Shell companies, in a sense, have been used to evade local laws and ordinances, even by semi-public institutions. IIRC, Harvard University, for example, used LLCs and law firms to buy land secretly in Brighton and Cambridge, MA against the policies of local governments. It would be good to know the real institutions behind such transactions...
Sounds like you'd find cars more 'usable' and don't need/use trucks for the unique things they offer, which is towing and hauling things bigger than groceries.
You could also implement tiering yourself, depending on your workload of course. If you know you're storing objects for long-term archival reasons (or backups), you could opt for using S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval at $0.004/GB.
Prep first and follow the recipe. It’s not as hard as it seems if you get all your ingredients ready and then start cooking. It is literally a list of instructions. It tells you what to do. No imagination needed.

It becomes a lot easier to fuck it up if you try to prep on the fly because you’ll never get the timing right, which means you won’t be following the instructions any more.

Fraking has made natural gas so cheap, I can't see these being used for anything but virtue signaling. They claim a breakthrough in converting hydrogen to natural gas, but natural gas is by far the cheapest source of H2.

And, given that methane is 80 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than CO2 is, is it really a good idea to be manufacturing it? Inevitably there would be leakage, and it wouldn't take much to leak enough gas to more than compensate for any C02 sucked out of the air.
> But what is even sadder is that the supposedly morally superior western world is entirely bribed and blackmailed to stand behind Israel.

Add religious indoctrination to that. A huge number of Americans are evangelical Christians who unconditionally support Israel because they are utterly convinced that the continued existence of Israel is a necessary prerequisite for the reincarnation of their god.
Through non-standard API extensions you can provide a 16 bit data buffer to jpegli.

The data is carefully encoded in the dct-coefficients. They are 12 bits so in some situations you can get even 12 bit precision. Quantization errors however sum up and worst case is about 7 bits. Luckily it occurs only in the most noisy environments and in smooth slopes we can get 10.5 bits or so.
45 nested WinForms is bizarre. I think you'd melt a UX designer's eyeballs. It's possible that Microsoft sees this as low impact (small user base), or is too complex to fix, or too high risk to fix.

You could create an interesting payload with this, especially given it can be done via PoSh.

Get payload on machine -> enable Full memory dumps -> execute payload/BSOD -> upon recovery, exfiltrate memory dump.

Secrets galore.
I don't think that's any kind of justification. It doesn't matter whether it's a member of the public or another business or a government agency, there should be a known person or people responsible for the actions of any company to be held responsible for breach of contracts or bad actions. All business is based on contracts of agreements, and the whole thing would entirely fall apart if no one could be held accountable for breach of contract.

There's a lot of talk about the increase in KYC for individuals setting up accounts with banks and other financial institutions for reasons of anti money laundering. And yet anonymity is still allowed (and effectively encouraged) in business ownership which could facilitate far greater amounts of money laundering more easily.

Ever since reading about Mossack Fonseca it has bothered me (not confused me though, since the rules are made by the people who most benefit from it).
Just fixed size static buffers guaranteed to overflow.
