Ask HN: Do you still use Redis? What do you use instead?
It has been almost 3 months since the Redis license change. Do you still use Redis Enterprise in production? Do you use Community Edition for personal projects? How do you feel about in-memory data store alternatives like valkey?

Thank you, for now it's not in my plans, but if the app is successful and I make enough money with donations in the future I might consider it (since I would have to buy a Mac and at least 2 iPhones to test the Conversation mode), and always if the App store's policies will not be too restrictive.
He talks about this a bit in the final three paragraphs, that the people writing the work orders are already overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork they need to deal with, preventing them from paying enough attention to what these reports are actually saying, and these new recommendations will have the primary effect of increasing that burden.
Releases should be automated anyway. Once you set up the necessary pipelines, there is not that much work involved. I think our only pain point (team of ~7 devs) is keeping a Macbook around for iPad builds and debugging.

But I guess you will need Macbook to debug any Safari issues too.
Hey great app! I really like the “undo until unstuck” feature, I haven’t seen that before. Is there an algorithm for that or did you come up with something yourself?

It is written on the website: Extract, transform and load. Yes, an illustrative example description would help I agree.
I’m not saying this isn’t true. Genuinely! but when I make up random unsubstantiated slander about other companies it gets removed instantly. What makes Apple different? You could never say this about substack or Tesla.
> You've made multiple assumptions here that couldn't be further from reality.

Sure I've made an assumption, but in my defence it's a single reasonable assumption: that one wouldn't be running tests in production.

If you have a leftover `.env` that contains production credentials, you were running your test in production.
Thanks for pointing that out, it's actually mentioned (Extract, transform and load ...) in the very first sentence below the tagline, but if you didn't get it then it's not clear.
Does anyone else remember the clone Art for Kids for Atari [1], or more specifically, it's Polish version for Windows, Zostań Małym Picasso?

Same stuff for the Genoa, Italy bridge (Ponte Morandi). Everyone running on that would feel vibrations and "repairs" were just lipstick on a ugly face, until it finally collapsed, with 43 dead.

Surprisingly, or not so, no one was found guilty, not even the inspectors that didn't report the ongoing damages, just because "it would be too costly to rebuild it, and profits of the highway company (1) in charge of it would be zero".

Probably not a fabrication, depending on what you see as a reliable news source.
I just spent the last 4 years living in a series of countries that Americans would call ‘3rd world’. Places where proper funding of infrastructure, let alone inspections are so far below US metrics of adequate, they’d legitimately scare you.

Bridges and overpasses that exist until they break and the people die. People call out to God for justice! But all that infra is then rebuilt the same way if it’s rebuilt / when it’s rebuilt.

Something something American tech people have forgotten just how amazing the US is because they don’t realize how good it is. They take too much for granted. They have the safety to be snarky on the internet.

Get a passport and go for a walk.
Ah, this is where I was tripping myself up. Thanks
I think part of the reason why nobody seems serious about replication is that it's actually mostly not worth it.

Most research is useless and pointless, with only a few exceptions. We don't have a way to figure out which topics are the exceptions, so someone has to do the research. It's not worth it (or rather: extremely high financial risk) for companies or individuals to do it, so governments gave to fund it.

At this point, the current amount of fraud does not justify replicating even 1% of studies. We would get less scientific advancement in total. The current situation likely does justify some small investments in shaping incentives.
I guess I missed the news about the license change. We still use it in production in my startup, but now I'm considering migrating to something else. After a quick google search, there seem to be a bunch of alternatives, but this one from Microsoft stands out:

I don't think the queue has ever been down in 6 years. It certainly never was a breaking point.

As for the database, yes, we could do blue/green I guess, but it's a big database and it's more cost effective to rely on the queue.

To be honest, I'm not even sure blue/green would be an option given our constraints.
That doesn’t sound like hiring the only „brightest“.

No, truly, I feel you. The Waterloo kids are literally cut from a different cloth though I'll take one of them to ten of anyone else. I feel really guilty about grabbing young grads with all that potential and putting them through this...

That's why there are efforts to get platform companies to allow putting PWAs into their app stores. I think on Android it's already possible with a thin wrapper and with regulatory pressure it might be necessary for other platforms to enable that as well.
I have to say drywall + insulation can work really well. In the flat I rent both walls to neighbors and between rooms are like this, and I only ever hear people through the doors or windows.

The rest of the building (outside walls and floors) are from brick, though.
"customer don't care what language/framework you are using" is a strange way to support a claim they do care about having a native app over a PWA. The first statement highlights that the user just wants something that works as advertised, and doesn't care about the framework. But the second statement highlights that, despite their disinterest in the technology, they care deeply about the app's delivery tech (PWAs vs native). I think this juxtaposition reveals a lot about why things are the way they are, and why users are forced to care about native apps over PWAs.

Just like language is a vehicle for logic, the app delivery tech is just a vehicle for a UI. PWA tech sucks because platforms are incentivized to make it suck. People prefer native apps because they're being funnelled down that path by anti-competitive interests. You don't seem to make that connection.

I get it, you were burned by PWAs and now you just want to build something that works for everyone relatively painlessly and makes money. Nothing wrong with that. But some of us also want support tech that fulfills the goals of the open web. You don't seem to care about that, but others do. Telling everyone its basically a lost cause is a silly and pointless endeavor, because PWAs are the long game, and you're playing the short game.

I don't see how you can ascribe competency in making decisions to ChatGPT. It doesn't have a personality or any fixed opinions. You can make it output just about any decision you want, good or bad or weird, by giving it the right prompt.

Handing over decision making to a GPT would just be handing over the power to the one who writes the prompts.
I dont agree. Did you send food aid to North korea? And if you did, are you sure it was not used to feed the guards? I find sending food instead of trying to destroy the regime a morally dubious thing to do for exactly this reason...

Right but I’m not talking about claims, I’m talking about arguments. As a robotics engineer running a farming robot project, I am all too aware of the serious differences in computational challenges and dataset availability between text and image data on the web and the kinds of problems that once faces in robotics. LeCun doesn’t just claim LLMs aren’t up to the task, he provides a detailed list of provable shortcomings which I feel overall make for a compelling argument. I’m hopeful that his JEPA may shed some light on possible solutions, but it’s also a fact that one can find issues with proposed engineering solutions even if they don’t have their own better solution. It you say you have a faster than light space engine designed, one wouldn’t need to have their own functional design to show why yours didn’t work (although such expertise is always helpful). And, well, he did invent convolutional neural networks, tho as I say such expertise is not required to raise valid arguments against some proposed solution.

You’re wrong, this has nothing to do with bugs. We’re speaking of Safari not implenting features for years and pushing back many of them because of “security”. All bs.
I am under impression people are still actively using MQs but it’s just become a commodity and not as exciting as it was. I think two major cases - you need to do something asynchronous and in specific order.
Simple example from past project: in a workflow/process management app (task manager on steroids) there’s a group of tasks (branch) that can be completed by multiple people in any order. When all tasks are done we have to mark the whole branch as completed and move workflow further. Many instances of the workflow are running at same time. Logic is much simpler to implement when you process all task completions within same workflow instance in order, but from different instances in parallel. It’s also much easier to provide close to realtime experience to users - when user clicks on a checkbox task is shown completed instantly as well as other effects- next task becomes active, branch shown as completed, whole workflow is shown as completed etc.

right, you could imagine a much higher level of investment. that waste isolation pilot plant is 400 million dollars over 7 years, 50 million dollars a year. the 217 gigawatts of solar power the prc installed last year represent an investment of probably 88 billion dollars last year, assuming 40¢ per peak watt. so the prc spent more money building solar plants in the last five hours than they will spend on that nuclear waste facility in this entire year

and you say they only have three of them?
Practical Engineering is emphasizing the suddenness of the collapse itself and pointing out that it was impossible for drivers (who were not aware of past inspections) to do anything about it. There is no inconsistency.
Varbintech helped Stefan Mens develop a core logic for a web app for better student management and intuitive scheduling. MusicSchoodle helps teachers to manage and schedule their lessons.

I think the trouble is that it is not possible to distinguish (through reliable technical means) a responsible overclocker such as yourself versus an unscrupulous actor editing EFI variables in flash. So, because some bad guys/gals found a way to damage the system, all the good guys/gals suffer as a result, because the system cannot tell them apart. Reminds me of airport security...

Considering that HK is part of the PRC, I would be surprised of the current US export restrictions did not apply equally to HK and the mainland, but this is not clarified in the article. The article is also not even certain if the chips are subject to restrictions in the first place.

This would also make it spoil faster, more surface area exposed each time the glass is opened.
I think it’s harmless though if say it’s a business site or mail site that is only meant to do business with a subset of people, like a country or region. That said, I think it’s of highly limited value though because any hacker above Lvl 1 will know how to use a bot, remote box, or VPN from a more local IP.
I think weed is easier to get addicted to by a "normal" person than alcohol.

I was never really into alcohol. It leaves a nasty feeling in the body. You're literally poisoning your body. Conversely, weed is not as hard on the body. Weed is also significantly cheaper, can be easily grown at home by yourself. Weed also doesn't impair your work life as much as alcohol. You can't work while you're drunk. But you can still do some work while high, albeit, much less effective based on my experience. So weed is easier access.

If being addicted to alcohol is a 100 in "bad", then I think weed addiction would be 70. It's not as bad to be addicted to weed. But it's still bad and it's far easier to access (in legal places) in my opinion.

Depends on what you call "a living".

But there are hackathons with bounties in the $1000-$10000 range.

There have been YouTube videos with teens or well-meaning moms or oldsters uploading videos with dangerous info. All of which that I've seen I've told and they've taken down. Ergo, there being websites with it on in 2024 is still very likely—perhaps almost certainly.

I would also bet that the AI generated books flooding Amazon also contain dangerous information in terms of recipes.

Apparently, water can turn solid at room temperature (and above) as well, when seeded by a hydrophilic surface. Some researchers actually believe that all water in living cells are made up of this kind of 'solid water', and that this is responsible for a lot of cell properties and mechanisms (like cross membrane transport):

No, you can't. Particle accelerators make anti-matter. And they do so extremely inefficiently. This is not an energy source: it's at best, a conversion or storage system. Making anti-matter is an inefficient, energy losing process, it is not a fuel source.

And the storage sucks: the longest anti-matter confinement time is 405 days in a Penning trap and we've only done so for amounts measured in total count of atoms, in the thousands. Not even micrograms.[1]

If you knew all this, would you have avoided driving over the bridge? Would you have wanted the local government to close it indefinitely awaiting repairs?

Let's say it would collapse with 100% certainty randomly in the next three years, and you're in the danger area for 2 minutes, with a 20% chance of fatality (in fact, nobody died). That's still around a one in 4 million chance any given trip kills you, about the same as 30 miles of driving for the average American driver.

Most people would accept that level of risk. Perhaps not to save a couple of minutes on the journey, but if everyone was redirected to another route at rush hour, it might cost each commuter 10-20 minutes.

A handful of newsworthy bridge collapses per decade across the US doesn't seem so bad. Instead of negligence, perhaps that indicates an appropriate level of maintenance and risk tolerance, and an appropriate human price to add to the 500,000 other road deaths over the same period.

Go to management, take a huge paycut, consulting or grind to work in a big tech that typically will send you to work on whatever project they need you on.

So its okay that bridges in US fall, even when being inspected dozen of times and being urged for repairs every time, because other countries have it worse?
