I’m talking about the mess of electron and friends. I’ve spoken to engineers who work on it. From their point of view, it’s the only sane way to build software that works across multiple operating systems.

The nice thing about windows and macOS back in the day was that the programs we ran were all written with the same native UI toolkit. All the controls matched between applications. Applications were small and efficient - binary sizes and memory usage were in the megabyte range. Any program written like that today starts up instantly, and is incredibly responsive.

But last I checked, Hello world in electron is ginormous. It uses about 100mb of memory. It takes time to start up. Vscode and Spotify are great but they don’t look or feel native. It is legitimately great that people now ship apps for Linux. But we’ve lost platform cohesion in the trade.

So, so what if tigerbeetle is written for Linux? I’m ok with the developers choosing not to pay the cross platform tax.

Not to worry, NetBSD has also done their part to make BE really easy to test - they have a big-endian ARM image that you can run on Raspberry Pi hardware, so you don't need an ancient/exotic/expensive box.
that FAQ is accurate but (rightly) doesn't cover high-security deployments.

if I'm running the bridges local-to-the-client (I am, on my McBook) it's not meaningfully any less e2ee. encryption happens in the matrix client (running on the laptop), the encrypted message is sent to the homeserver on localhost, the bridge (on localhost) grabs the encrypted message and decrypts it, then the bridge re-encrypts it and sends it to Whatsapp (or wherever). the content of the message is as secure over the wire with this approach as using first-party apps directly

if one hosts their own bridges they're person-in-the-middling themselves and should take all the necessary precautions. if they're using beeper's hosted options they have to delegate read/write ability to beeper (though I think the signal and imessage bridges might be device-local), and beeper is clear about that.

Hey. Good question! People think I'm crazy, but I promise you I'm very sober about my approach to my courses.

I teach CS & mathematics at a university here in London. Empirically, I've noticed that students can find ways to be productive but they are seriously lacking the fundamentals.

To be fair, it is nothing short of overwhelming to try and grok the fundamentals of computing using modern machines, modern OSs, and a modern dev toolchain.

So what I try to do with the courses is to go back in time and limit myself with a closed hardware box that is still small and simple (compared to what we have today).

Instead of using a fake instruction set, I can have students learn the basics of MIPS, use a very simple assembler, output binary code, and execute those instructions on a hardware that exists (or existed once). That allows me to explain about CPU architecture with real examples, talk about DMA, endianness, interrupts, and so many other concepts that students can read online but they don't really grok until they get their hands dirty with grease.

Weirdly enough, so far it's been proven to be a good idea. It's definitely not for everyone, but if someone is at a stage of their career where they think it's fun to learn about RISC pipeline, fixed-point math, game physics, 3D graphics, compressing assets, computer architecture, etc., then I still think this type of course is valid!

I'm positive that in 25 hours learning how to program the original PlayStation they'll learn a lot more about computer science than taking an expensive class to read about 'Digital Transformation' or something like that.

To each, its own.
Death squads were vigilante self-organizing groups of cops and sometimes their friends which would beat and murder "bad people". I don't think they exist in significant numbers today but in the past those groups existed in the open.

The USB standard has provision for analog output through the MUX, and all compliant MUX/controller chips will have implemented this.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/10719/usbif-publishes-audio-o...

If this is so non-trivial, Chinese OEMs like Huawei have in fact succeeded in analog output. This is despite the fact that their receptacles are on a 50mm long flex PCB, you don't need another 2 signal layers or an extra daughterboard.

The laws of physics are the same everywhere across the world. Just because Apple is incompetent, it does not imply everyone else is.

A good idea on paper, marred by reality

First, this would basically grant Sawstop a monopoly. They say they'll release the patent, but I'd like to see that requirement built into the bill

Second, it doesn't seem to allow for alternative safety systems. Bosch has a system that competes with Sawstop, and is arguably better, as it doesn't destroy the saw, blade, or carriage, but is currently unavailable in the US due to Sawstop parents

If the bill were to allow for the Bosch or other systems on us soil then I'd have far fewer qualms over it
ABIT was a legend in motherboards. I used their AN-7 Ultra and AN-8 Ultra. No newer board gave the flexibility and capabilities of these series.

My latest ASUS was good enough, but I didn't (and probably won't) build any newer systems, so ABITs will have the crown.

Availability entrepreneurs are “social agents who understand the dynamics of availability cascades and seek to exploit their insights. Located anywhere in the social system, including the government, the media, nonprofit organizations, the business sector, and even households, these entrepreneurs attempt to trigger availability cascades likely to advance their own agendas. They do so by fixing people's attention on specific problems, interpreting phenomena in particular ways, and attempting to raise the salience of certain information.”

30,000 people are injured by table saws a year. That’s a material issue.
I’m using “Hack”, and interestingly I can’t follow the link in your response either.

Edit: the link works, but just takes me to your OP.
How often do you use a saw? At $3500 a saw I care. I saw a lot of wood and inadvertently hit at least one staple/nail/screw per year. Over the last 20 years of using my saw that would be tens of thousands of dollars if even a portion of them damaged the saw. It would essentially price me out of doing woodworking.
The # of chips is not the most important metric.

Most important, even ignoring latency, is throughput (tokens) per $$$. And according to their own benchmark [1] (famous last words :)), they're quite cost efficient.

This is some bizarre rewriting of history. We switched to Chrome because it was stupidly faster than competition and more responsive.

It's nasty to now rewrite history claiming it's some kind of conspiracy to make a browser that ran way better than IE and Mozilla one.
I think you should fuzz the prices and other specifics like the number of seats a bit for privacy.

For even more privacy you could show faceted aggregates with error bars instead of individual accounts once your samples are big enough.
The e-rickshaws use lead acid batteries and "disposal infrastructure" is just chucking it to the side if it's dead.

That’s correct AFAIK, but assumes a specific kind of JIT. It’s entirely possible for a JIT compiler to produce shared libraries (dyld files in this case) which are then loaded into the process with dlopen. It’s slower to produce a compiled function or module this way, but we actually do it in practice to allow use of compilers that aren’t traditional JIT compilers or to work around similar selinux policies. This means something like luajit wouldn’t work out of the box, but a single-pass JIT binary translation like Rosetta would work fine. Same thing for a JIT like that used in Julia IIRC.
But again, it's your life, your body, your choice.

Show HN: Visualizing Eclipse Traffic Impact in Vermont
Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’ve always been fascinated by maps and how they can track and reflect our lived experiences. The eclipse coming to my town was a perfect opportunity to use a map to demonstrate the magnitude of the impact of crowds of people descending on our little state.

I wanted to visualize this impact in an informative and visually appealing way. being a regional hotspot for viewing the totality, I was curious about the eclipse's effects on traffic. Map apps only show you the "now," and that was not what I wanted, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

After reviewing various traffic data providers, I settled on using TomTom. Their policy on data usage was a crucial factor, as many providers restrict scraping. TomTom's Flow/Relative raster tiles offered the perfect balance between clarity and detail, emphasizing traffic conditions with a transparent background, perfect for overlaying standard basemaps.

I developed a script to programmatically scrape the tiles in my region across a few zoom levels, trying to balance TomTom's costs and limits with the desired level of detail and storage costs. I set up GitHub actions to run the script at regular intervals throughout the day leading up to the eclipse and then extra times on the day of.

I initially stored the files directly in GitHub, but that quickly became unwieldy and led to 429 rate limit errors. I then tacked on a "Copy to S3" step to get the data out of the repo and set up CloudFront to improve performance and limit transfer costs.

AI, particularly ChatGPT and GitHub CoPilot, played a significant role in developing this project. Each line of code, while initially drafted by AI, underwent thorough review and refinement by me. This blend of AI efficiency and human oversight was essential, especially given the occasional need to correct or redirect the AI's approach. (I let ChatGPT write this paragraph and present it without editing)

I hope you enjoy exploring my simple little map! Take a close look at totality (3:32 period), then immediately afterward (4:02 period). The map lights up red!

Then, watch as the huge flow of traffic heads southward. I heard anecdotes of it taking 2-3x as long to get home!

Since nobody walks around in bubble wrap I don't think there would be any existing cost-benefit analyses.

I was using bubble wrap as a joke thing more than an actual suggestion. My point is, just because something would lower the number of costs to society doesn't mean we should start mandating it.

An example of something that for sure saves lives and lowers public costs is mandating adults wear helms on bicycles.
Patents are already a government manipulation of markets. Perhaps it wouldn’t have been a market failure if there were never any patents around it.
That's correct. Puerh tea particularly has very strong "ChaQi" which is (part of) why people prize it so much. Some other teas have it as well, and it's really not just caffeine but something much more interesting and deeper.

> It's also possible you may go offline for reasons outside of your control.

I see. I've just discussed about this with other people at the school. I guess if something like that ever happens, the course content will probably be made available in full to all students.

One thing is that I am personally always updating the course and adding new examples and lectures to it. If students simply download the content once there will be different versions of it. This was one of the reasons I've decided to record lectures instead of simply writing a book, for example.

Yeah, for the most part, few things I wouldn't have done but you're getting Navidrome as a Subsonic-compatible server.

That lets you play your stuff from very good clients like Feishin, rather than the web client.

>Are there any Android app for offline plays, for the car?

Don't know about Android, have a search for "subsonic" on the Play Store / F-Droid, and you'll definitely find something.

I have "AV Sub" on iOS, and that integrates with CarPlay.
You can still add XMPP accounts, but that's all.
Reading it more clearly the developer actually expresses concern about allowing the code to run on clones resulting in potentially bricking them due to not supporting the same operations. Perhaps its more accurately a possible deficiency in clone controllers that the developer supposes may be in danger.
Looks like a nice service, it also sounds like something the SaaS companies who's pricing information you are showing would not like.

I'm curious how you look at that? Are there any legal risks for end users to share this type of information via your site? I'm thinking if the SaaS providers have some legal statements about not sharing prices (similar to how certain database providers don't allow sharing of database benchmarks).
It's a jangoist narrative but sometimes it is the truth.

People who consistently use birth control tend to be less impulsive and more future-oriented than people who have to resort to abortion (a last-resort form of birth control). ie, the type of people who aren't your typical criminals.
