Out of curiosity, is the performance the only blocker for putting this in prod ? If I were to have a small site, intended for a small number of users, what would I miss from other "prod-ready" environments ?

I appreciate the rules, but am very disappointed. There are some incredibly moving comments in here. I rarely feel as connected to the hacker news community as when reading these comments. The fact that it was erased off the front page for some rigid application of the rules, that leaves me with a bad taste.

For your consideration in the next cycle: pls consider valence of comments when determining dupes. If there is either an unfolding of (1) very valuable and new information, or (2) very sincere and vulnerable feelings, people might appreciate your bending the rules. thanks for considering
The adult conversation in question being, in a nutshell: "We've decided it's time for you to move on. Would you like the public perception of this event to be that it was a mutual decision, or would you prefer to burn some bridges on your way out?" Sure, in some sense the departing individual chooses to go one way rather than the other.
“One of the not so secret goals of Armin Rigo, one of the PyPy founders, was to use PyPy together with some advanced partial evaluation magic sauce to somehow automatically generate a JIT compiler from the interpreter. The goal was something like, "you write your interpreter in RPython, add a few annotations and then we give you a JIT for free for the language that that interpreter implements."”

Please don't wash your pen once a week. You only need to flush it if you're changing inks, or if you're putting it away in storage. As long as you're writing with your pen at least once in a couple of days, _and_ you're using a reasonable ink - you most certainly do not need to wash it every week.

You don't have to take my word for it -- just hang out on FPN, or even better, hang out with your local fountain pen club.

What he should have done was to create a foundation for supplying forks, making him and his roommate the officers of the foundation. They could have then solicited funds, including matching from other organizations. From those funds, they could have paid themselves handsome salaries for managing the foundation. Then with the mere pittance left over, they would then purchase forks. I'm sure that there would be other tax breaks in there somewhere to totally live a lavish lifestyle.
I think the answer is buried somewhere in the mists of...time. Put another way, there is a temporal degree of respect for the dead, i.e. can you and for how long put the wishes of the dead above those of the living.

Of course, for immediate death, as others have noted, there are plenty of "stakeholders", family members, etc. who have direct interest in the wishes of the dead being upheld (not having their communications exposed, as others have noted). These needs must be considered, but eventually those grandchildren will also themselves pass, and those stakes will have also vanished.

Even for immediate death, the wishes of the dead can be invalid and ir-respected, such as in the case of a suicide bomber or a recently deceased captor/dictator.

On the flip side, for those dead (tens of) thousands of years, we engage in a practice known as archeology, that I think you would have a hard time arguing the opposite - the information we glean from their table scraps is too valuable to worry about their death wishes, assuming they had any.

In the great in-between, then, the question is, whose wishes matter more? Those of the deceased or those of the living. Usually, those of the living. And it is generally in our interest that we not disturb the dead too much, because at least we would like to live in a society that continues to grow, and does not need to disturb them (too much), respect our own wishes, etc. But ultimately, once it can be said it no longer harms any living, or any future living, then the desires of the living trump the desires of the deceased.
That would be a massive quality of life improvement for me. I've had a lot of issues with my teeth and while being in my thirties I currently need at least 4 implants to get close to a properly functioning dentition. And that still leaves a lot of empty space in the back that makes my speech inherently more slurred.
The feeling we have about changing food prices comes from price sensitivity, not some kind of food cartel secretly jacking up the price of grapes. You can choose to get the cheap grapes or buy bananas instead. There’s no menu to pick the cheap hip replacement from.

I almost bought myself an Ecoflow system today, consisting of a battery, some panels and an inverter. I'd like to power about 150W (my baseline usage) back to my house from solar at daytime, and charge the battery with any excess power. Drain the battery at night time to maintain the 150W. The advantage is that this system would be plug and play, and I can pick it up to go camping or move it to the kitchen to power the fridge if there is a power outage.

In the end I did not buy because the only way to configure and monitor this is using the Ecoflow app, which requires me to create an account and connect to the Ecoflow cloud. Autonomy. Independence. Ha.
That’s comically cheap. The gaggia classic, arguably king of the entry level espresso, is that same price. They could release it at $900 (MSRP of Rancilio Silvia) and easily sell a million if it’s worth it. I’d guess they could easily start at $1200-1500 and drop the price from there after the first couple of production runs.
As I read this thread, it's not like "React was the issue, let's move to [other framework]", it's more like moving closer to the plattform brought a performance boost.

And that's something I would totally agree. Moving from WebUI to native UIs would even be more performant, and if one would care that much about performance (as said in the thread), one would probably not look at WebUI/Electron/Browser at all and prefer native apps.

> Public keys should be rotated which would expire links.

Sometimes public keys should be rotated, and this would indeed expire links. And sometimes they shouldn’t be (a key pair in a TPM-like device in an embedded system would make a lot of sense).

This has the exact same key rotation problem. And you can get quite close to TOFU with an HTTP page that links to a a hypothetical HTTPS+key link.
Reading the article it isn't just that though, privacy problematic as it is, troll accounts spreading misinformation is an issue, especially for elections, and real weird for one of the major parties to admit to employing against even their supposed allies.

And while that mask fell off, a similarly hard to argue against reason that they bring up is the russian state, which no one here likes, so it isn't like they actually pulled off the mask, just swapped it for something almost equal, assuming they stick to that reason.
> But why doesn't this happen to restaurants, or super markets or car mechanics?

I think the word you're missing is yet. Private equity hasn't bought everything and jacked up the prices yet because they have plenty of targets generating reliable profits for them, and they don't have the funds to buy out the entire restaurant industry while also doing everything they're already doing. They would also still have to compete with major national players (McDonald's et al.) who are impossible to buy out, which is something the healthcare industry didn't really have when private equity came knocking.

And notably, it is starting to happen to car mechanics - particularly those who are contracted by insurance companies. It's not hard to imagine a future where they move on to smaller independent car mechanics who are gradually bought out by megacorps and/or private equity, the industry consolidates heavily, and everything gets worse.

Does he forget that it is known that Sam posted to YC's site that he was now Chairman in the day or so prior to him leaving? So... what... they asked him to choose, he decided to promote himself and make a post about it, and then they hurriedly deleted that post and then Same "chose" to leave YC?
To softly invite more like-minded people, you can post links to any interests you care about (in this comment thread, if you like, or anywhere else on the web). For example:

https://pairup.social/interest/https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fpaulg

Or, you can even link to your profile if you feel like it. For example, here's mine:

https://pairup.social/hi/andrew

(this is also good for inviting friends who you think might want to try it out)

Links like these are available in the app once you've added a few interests and have minimally filled out your profile.
High deductible might cover prescriptions but have a deductible amount. If you're in a position with enough savings, hsa or the like, you can hold enough per year to cover those deductibles. It will also shape the level of service you get. I'm paying for a PPO plan with a decently big deductible and max out of pocket so I can keep seeing one of the Mayo specialists I've been seeing for a few years now.

It's not the easiest option if I were making half as much with young children though.
It keeps up pretty well, I think. But given what's in a version of Python is "what's implemented in CPython at that version", I don't see how it's possible to keep up very easily at all.

If a cartel forms around tropical fruits… that strikes me as a strange and unreal example. Private equity buys supermarket chains in the real world.

There are about six supermarket chaions in the city where I live. Most people will struggle to guess which ones are owned by private equity (one isn't), but almost everyone can name at least a couple of hospitals that aren't.
It's really amazing how nice it can be to use a system which one never has to wait on --- I was really hopeful of that when Apple bought NeXT and Rhapsody ran with an unbelievable crispness on modern hardware (which was to be expected, it was written for 25 MHz 68030 computers with 8 MB of RAM) --- it was incredibly disappointing when the Mac OS X Public Beta shipped and my 400MHz G4 iMac was about as performant as the NeXT Cube w/ 52MB RAM I had at home.
Indeed. Although to their defense Powershell is pretty decent as well, it just isn't as widely spread and not as universal as bash. Don't know if it conforms with posix, but that is doubtful. Still as solid tool.

But all that doesn't help if the OS gets trashed by bad project leads and Microsoft seems to employ a lot of those. Their technical mistakes are dwarfed by their strategic ones. And companies being locked into their environment providing a record income probably don't help with Microsoft really trying to be competitive instead of milking users as much as possible.
"Democracy" is not a silver bullet to solving public policy problems, especially in republic-style systems such as the US.

Voting in a new government doesn't change the fact that a lot of the ultimate legislative power rests with the Supreme Court. It was the court that decided that election funding can be ultra-opaque, a decision that in effect removed all restrictions to political contributions by allowing them to be funneled through PACs rather than individual donations that do have limits. This creates a system where career politicians have an enormous financial advantage over anyone else attempting to run for office.

Politicians have term limits, but SC judges get lifetime tenure and are appointed by presidents on the basis of ideological fealty. That's why topics like the legality of abortion can keep coming up, whereas in other countries, this has long been a settled issue.

And that is just at the federal (nationwide) level. Individual states have significant autonomy on how they operate as well, and usually resist any legislation giving federal government more say on state matters.
I'd argue keep the copper in place as much as possible. PEX is plastic. I'm sure it contributes to all the microplastics/PFAS we see all over the place.
Yes, but not quite.

"Their service is so much better than us, that if you keep using them we'll go out of business and you'll have to use them, and they're a direct competitor to you." That's enough to make a business think about their strategic interest, not just about the current expense.

When did the Germans living in the GDR democratically elect to be under soviet communist rule?
It was not entirely voluntary, that's the point. The US government pushed very hard for an interoperable standard, and conditioned a big pile of IRA funding on supporting a fully-open standard. That was the carrot. The rest of the industry (manufacturers and chargers) also standardized and started building cars and charging infrastructure with CCS connectors. The farther this process went, the less likely it would have been that Tesla would have been able to force a switch, and so they would have had to (expensively) update their new and older cars to this standard. This was the stick.

But yes, it was all done through encouragement and coordinated coercion. Nobody showed up at Tesla's HQ with guns and forced this to happen.

Important to note that this is still pretty true for non-urgent care. My city has three somnologists' offices. If I have a sleep issue, I may have options, but there are very few of them. It's much more plausible for someone to buy up the three somnologists than to buy up, say, all the pizza restaurants in the city, and it's harder for someone else to start up a new somnologist than to start up a new pizza restaurant.

As someone who acts in their spare time, I think the article is missing three things.

First, actors do actually have to mechanistically memorize their lines in addition to understanding them. There are plenty of instances where you need to recite a long string of words in precise order because that's what's in the script, not because there is some underlying logic that makes the word choice self-evident. While early in the rehearsal process it doesn't matter, in fact it's a good thing to play around with the script, by the end you need to have everything locked down. There is more to theater than just conveying a character's state of mind - people depend on spoken cues, particularly for blocking, and maintaining timing is critical.

On the flipside of that, theater is inherently a variable thing. No two shows are going to be exactly the same. A prop may not function correctly, someone else may mess up a line, the audience may laugh more or less at a joke, etc. You need to be able to adapt in the moment, which means you can't simply remember your lines, you need to be present in the moment. That's the real reason you need to understand your lines. As an aside, it helps that the audience typically does not have the script memorized, so as long as things on stage are progressing naturally, mistakes tend to go unnoticed.

Finally, I think people grossly overestimate the difficulty of memorizing text. We invented language long before writing, and it is extremely optimized for being easily remembered by illiterate peasants. Think about how many songs you know - there are probably hundreds if not thousands you could easily sing along to even if you haven't heard them in years. Think about how many movie quotes you can recall to interject a random pop culture reference into a conversation on the fly. Crack open a book you read 10 years ago to a random page and see how long it takes you to know exactly where in the story you are. You might mistake a word here and there, perhaps switch the order of some lines, but you'll remember the bulk of it without putting in any effort at all. Actors reread their scripts dozens of times, they put as great deal of effort into practice, and their success depends upon this effort, of course the end result will be more polished than baseline memory, but the difference isn't that big.
Microplastics are a very good candidate for a "black ball". It is slightly depressing, but there is nothing one can do about it.

Sure but the problem remains: you can't do that with only a few oscillations of a weak signal against a loud noisy complex signal.

You simply can't detect an inaudible-to-human-ears 0.5 hZ signal from 3 or 5 seconds of complex normal-volume audio, down to the accuracy of cents, much less 0.1 cents.

As I said above: a 1,000 hZ signal? Absolutely. But a 0.5 hZ signal? Absolutely not. There just isn't enough signal for that level of precision. No matter what tool you're using.
I wonder why the government decided to stop using their private party database to vet judges then? If it’s all kosher and above board why did they stop?
Not the OP, but I have written a fair few python wrappers around old Fortran code. There is a pretty great tool called f2py which automates almost all of the hard work. If the Fortran code isn't to weird it can completely autogenerate all the code you need to call your fortran function from python.
Except it does happen to restaurants and super markets.
I just recently made some Python wrappers for a Modern Fortran optimization library for derivative free optimization. https://github.com/libprima/prima

It basically had to go through Fortran -> C -> C++ (with pybind11) -> Python. At one point we had a slightly simpler setup with Fortran -> C -> Python (with ctypes), but ended up going with pybind11 after some discussion with the SciPy folks who steered us away from ctypes.
That very much depends on what's hitting your API and why. If it's browser clients, you might want to worry about headers and cookies -- but with http/2 and http/3 using hpack and qpack you should be able to avoid sending all the data each time. If the clients aren't browsers then the question is moot but there are other reasons to consider.

In any case, I'd recommend same-origin requests for browser access to APIs and a separate domain for non-browser access, purely for separation of concerns. That lets you tailor the access rules for your endpoints according to the type of caller you're expecting.
Sorry a correction.

You're speaking of the European Commission. The European Commission is the beaucratic engine of the EU and also drafts legislative bills (proposals).

The council is the body that comprises the heads of states who vote on new legislation proposals, this runs alongside the European Parliament.

Certain proposals only need parliamentary approval to become law (if there is already a treaty giving it authority) and others also need council approval when a treaty or directive needs to be approved.
