I’m not the op, but I can recommend the Unifi link aggregation switch and cheap Mellanox connectX3 cards. They are about $20 and are amazing. Fibre runs aren’t expensive but the transceivers are so copper DAC is good for short runs (as the connectors are built in).

Thunderbolt sfp adaptors also work.

It's cool and interesting to make a game that doesn't require those. But it puts extreme limitations on the game. There is no reason to aspire to making only games that include no js and animations. If there's ever a usecase for JS and animations its a game. Games are usually dynamic. Games usually involve moving visuals. Saying those things are unecessary means you're the guy at the game party who refuses to play Catan because tic tac toe is enough.

This seems like an art of asking loaded questions in response to loaded questions. How about repeating that sentence after reasonable ^s/someone/everyone/ substitution? I just can not say that to real fellows.
Last year when I started looking for jobs I landed a job in a company that did consulting services. All looked fine on the outside, but when I joined I found out they are doing software for this kind of stalking, and even use AI to classify employees as "productive", "not productive", and other criteria based on their computer's activity.

I noped the hell out of there without even having spent a week working for them. The fact that they even accepted those kind of jobs told me our sense of ethics was way too different, and I didn't want to contribute to that. If it were "just" web tracking, then I would be able to (barely) accept it, if a bit reluctantly. But that's more or less where I draw the line.

I still haven't found a job since then, and I'm currently barely surviving through freelance gigs. Professionally speaking, leaving that job might have been a mistake; but I still think it was the correct decision.
How you should build your SaaS MVP
So here is the problem, I’ve seen a lot of my clients and people build the SaaS MVP wrong, A lot of time they often waste their efforts and money on the features that make no sense to include in MVP thus killing the actual USP of the SaaS. Let's learn on how to build a successful SaaS MVP

Appreciate the feedback! We'll keep this in mind.

There is nothing to host/provision, so it's simple in that sense. You just run it locally with your credentials and connect directly to your database.

It is definitely not the easiest to set up especially when thinking as a team so we'll keep that in mind.
> Silicon Graphics is my favorite logo from this era...

Agreed. The 3D-pipe cube was beautiful. I believe they changed this logo to a simple "sgi" one by year 2000.

tbh, if the company still existed today, with the 3d-pipe logo, I would still class it my favourite logo. :-)

I really wanted one of their machines back in the day.. being a teenager. Of course, you need to money for one. How times changed when 3d cards came along, giving us SGI-powered-like machines for a fraction of the price.

You don't need GPS to figure out the correction for this. Inertial navigation systems in aircraft (which use very stabilised platforms with a lot of math involved) worked before GPS was available.

It helps to have a rough indication of the current latitude on startup, but you can also figure it out from the gyro outputs. Just takes longer.

With modern sensors (solid state laser gyroscopes) it has all become a lot smaller so if you really want to you can do this in a camera. It's just probably going to be too expensive for what it brings, because 6+ stops of stabilisation is a lot already.
Not too remiss. Probably the most remiss aspect is a lack of citations and use of loaded terms like "frivolous". Even granting your interpretation, the gap between this and the persecution, imprisonment and effective assassination of Navalny is extremely wide indeed.
From an European POV: America has a cultural problem with violence and generally the concept of them showing dominance over others, plain and simple.

Guns, the amazing fact that bare nipples in a TV show can cause a national scandal while it's no big deal at all if a kids show like the Simpsons can contain absolutely ridiculous amounts of violence, gore and other highly problematic behavior, not just bending but outright stomping over rules being commonplace in virtually all major police (e.g. Law & Order, NCIS, Cold Case) and medical (e.g. Dr. House) shows and movies, "rolling coal" on bicyclists and road rage in general being a thing...

Torture being accepted so widely as well also ties in with what makes the US penal system so unique among Western ones - everyone else has switched their penal system to rehabilitation and prevention (i.e. try your best to make sure that felons don't commit more crimes in the future), whereas in the US you don't just have stuff like ridiculous prison times or being released with no assets, no help, no nothing after a lengthy prison stay, it's widely accepted to the point of being the butt of jokes that you get raped in prison ("don't drop a soap bar") or that you have to deal with massive overcrowding, roaches, mold in food... in any civilized society, the courts would intervene immediately for such reports, but in the US? Nothing has changed there in decades, partially of course because the US political system is dysfunctional, but IMHO more because people accept inhumane treatment of people who "have done something wrong, so deserve it".

And to add on the 9/11 thing: the US is already a deeply traumatized nation at its core. Stuff like MKULTRA, the Vietnam war or the 1st Iraq war never got addressed and dealt with as a country in a healthy way - and completely forget about the even older stuff like slavery or the discrimination of e.g. Japanese-Americans during WW2, there's more than enough politicians in power who do everything they can to repress even teaching about that! 9/11, Afghanistan and the 2nd Iraq War, the multitude of financial crises since then - that also didn't get dealt with.

How can anyone expect healthy attitudes from a society that never allowed itself to heal from its past?

On the plus side, the rapid decrease in LFP cell prices is fueling a massive grid-connected storage boom, and will also drive global BEV adoption with those cheap Chinese cars that Biden just slapped a huge tariff on.

Why not both? VCs are human, hurt feelings are probably a negative signal
Call me uninformed, but I do not see a way forward where a statistical model trained to recognise relationships between words or groups of words, and has a front end coded to query that model could suddenly develop its own independence. That's a whole other thing, where the code to interact with it must allow for constant feedback loops of self.improvement and the vast amount of evolutionary activity that entails.

An interactive mathematical model is not going to run away on its own without some very deliberate steps to take it in that direction.
This doesn't make sense.

I worked in hedge funds, even there the management fee (2%) covers the fixed costs (legal, trading operations, treasury, IT operations, etc.) whereas the performance fee (20%) incentivises the alpha.

In VC it's even worse, because at least hedge funds are liquid. VC investments don't realize their value for 5-10 years! Are they supposed to work for free for 10 years? Even the support staff?

Ask HN: Should L and R modifier keys have existed, why not thumbs on bottom row?
I finished all of typing club months ago and learned to press left and right shift while typing letters on the opposite sides, but it became very slow and inconvenient to type shifted characters consecutively when on opposite sides of the keyboard, like "?!". Then I realized that I should just have one set on the bottom row and press them with my thumbs. On my MacBook keyboard I have OPT and CMD on the left side, and I remapped Right CMD and OPT to Shift and CTRL respectively. While it did feel awkward for my thumbs at first, it didn't take long to get used to it and my typing has been more efficient. Its not hard to press multiple CMD and OPT or Shift and CTRL simultaneously.

The benefit of using my thumb for the shift key on the bottom right is that I don't have to keep alternating between left and right shift, I can just hold it down with my thumb when typing consecutive characters, and can keep it held down instead of using caps lock when typing in all caps. Since I started using Vim I mapped the caps lock key to ESC since its used frequently. I don't need caps lock at all anymore! BTW, I stopped using arrow keys entirely and mapped them to CTRL H J K L respectively since that's what Vim uses alongside arrow keys.

VCs put lot of money on solving climate change. I feel climate change is one of the most overinvested field, where companies like Helion are valued $3B not only without any working prototype, but also with an idea which many experts say is not feasible at all, and even in the case they could make the prototype work, it is highly unlikely it could compete with solar in terms of cost per unit energy.

But yeah we shouldn't put onus on VC to make society better. Government should invest more in research which benefits society.
My university taught Haskell in their intro programming class at the mathematics departments, and the students that were new to programming had on the whole no problem with it. The ones that struggled were the ones that knew a bit of programming and had to relearn a bunch of what they thought they 'knew' about programming.

The problem was that all the students who had just been introduced to programming via Haskell where completely lost when they took the next intermediate programming class, which used Java.

I am not native but I feel pleasure from using Dvorak and chatting with no need to look at keyboard. I am trying to spread acknowledgement about Dvorak among young folks and those who agreed to learn feel the same boost. The difference is unimaginable for those who already has some muscle memory for anything related to Qwerty such as Ctrl-C. So the difference is between creating the layout for touchtyping goals and creating the layout for any other ones.

The R code I run daily has at least 10 stats libraries that don't exist in Python, an important new one dropped a few days ago.

And as someone who uses both languages daily, Python is much better at some things, R in others. R is much better in coding stats analysis.

Competition is great, may both thrive.
I don't know how to play it, adding some guidance and hints should make it a bit better.
excerpt from article : "And a person claimed in a later post that “around 300” of their old pictures, some of which were “revealing,” appeared on an iPad they’d wiped per Apple’s guidelines and sold to a friend."

Is this true?

Did a quick scan of the reddit posts referenced in the article and could not find this particular post. But it probably its my fault scanning too fast.

More worrisome is, is the scenario possible? Assuming "wiped per Apple's guidelines" was indeed followed, isn't that technically not possible since the encryption keys were wiped?

Chemical weapons absolutely work - if you are the first mover, that is. In France, even a century after WW1, many of the notorious battle fields that saw immense use of chemical weapons and hundreds of thousands of deaths are "zone rouge" [1], completely unsuitable for human activity, to this very day. And there's enough stuff that can't be filtered even by the best gas masks... irritants that are so strong they force enemy soldiers to take off their masks, even while knowing that they'll die from the other toxins in the air.

They only got banned because no one wanted to see a repeat of WW1... but human memory is short and now, as there's barely anyone alive from that time any more, we're seeing an erosion of the standards. Something like Assad using chemical weapons against his population should have warranted an immediate and complete invasion of the country and a prosecution of everyone involved.

I think the answer is called reversion to the mean.

Particular substrains can be more or less nasty but will tend to evolve towards some normalized mean nasty.

I think .NET has gotten, or rather failed to shake off, a reputation as slow and Windows-only.

maybe a caveat here. Also: citation needed!

Using photos is only perfectly legal if this use is within the licence agreement of the photos. as I understand it using a picture of somebody you took on the street is allowed in the sense that you can print this picture unmodified that's public domain. However taking this picture you took on the streets and make a deep fake porn out of the picture of that person is definitely not within the licence that public pictures grant you.

I don't share your optimism about the strength of the scientific method in pro-cycling :) It's not too long ago (admittedly in the pre-disc brake era) that climbers would have their bike built up to sub 6.8kg and then add weight to it to bring it up to the limit rather than use deeper wheels.

If you look at TT equipment all team members use the same helmet regardless of the fact that helmet performance varies massively from rider to rider.

Cross platform does seem to be slowly eating away at native apps - if you look at a lot of big companies out there, all of them use cross platform - like GM uses React Native for their car apps, Microsoft uses it in their Office Suite, Skype, Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, Tesla and many many more.

It seems that if you play at scale and are a big company - you're pretty much on React Native or maybe Flutter though that doesn't make a ton of business sense imo.

I wonder at what point Apple looks at things and wonders why they even bother investing so much in Swift and SwiftUI. At which point they'll either

1. Leave it to dry on the vine

or

2. Go the other way and put in a "no cross platform frameworks" in their developer agreement and force companies to use native code.
I should add that for pointers to immutable data, we can translate them to immutable values on the Coq side. Thus for Rust code written in a purely functional way (using only immutable data structures) the translation is almost one-to-one with Coq, that is to say the same code up to syntactical differences and the verbosity of our monad that behaves like the identity monad in that case.

Thus we can provide a path for people who are ready to sacrifice performance for proofs. I guess that immutable Rust is simpler to verify with the other systems too.

Bromide ion is in fact essential to animal (including human) life. It's necessary in trace amounts for the production of a weird S=N double bond in collagen IV, in a process where it is briefly converted to the BrO- ion (the +1 oxidation state). This was only discovered fairly recently; getting a fruit fly diet sufficiently depleted in bromide for the deficiency to show up was difficult.

Sea salt should have a fair amount of bromide in it. Bromine can be produced commercially by bubbling chlorine gas through sea water.
The ISP am setting this up for wants to extend Cacti Portal access to their clients so they can be able to view their bandwidth usage graphs.

> I'll be happy when we have a successor language for R, but it won't be 2024 Python.

When it comes to statistics, and especially having to program stats analysis instead of just calling libraries, R is a much better language than Python or Julia. When it comes to other things, they are better than R. I use all 3 daily.
