I lived for a couple years in New Madrid county (pro tip for anyone reading: it's pronounced with the stress on the first syllable with an "a" like apple, btw), and I think this is right.

But the people are also not entirely wrong: it's dreadfully poor, so adding extra cost to buildings for something that might happen in the next 50 years is a tough sell.

I think people safe and sound and wealthy in California aren't really familiar with the perspective I saw there. It's like, what's the worst that can happen? You die? Tragedy and death are kind of expected and built in. People are generally very religious, a good number of people are in the military or at least have absorbed the idea that it's valorous to die for an ideal, and besides that are poor and don't really have health insurance and are accustomed to the the lingering idea of dying somewhat young.

Before we even talk about building code for earthquakes, let's remember that a whole bunch of people are living in trailers or double-wides in a relatively active tornado zone! One of my wife's colleagues died in a tornado while we were there and it was scary and horrible. And there are no basements because the water table is so high, so even moderately sturdier construction like our apartment is still honestly a little dicey. Several times my wife and I were huddled in our bathroom wearing bicycle helmets and a mattress draped over us with the tornado sirens sounding.

Nature is scary and ultimately it feels like there's just limits to what poor Southeastern Missouri can afford to do about it.

That part? Correct.

But I take it you didn’t live through ‘01/dot-com-crash?

It was the same, but smaller scale back then. I remember looking for a job and folks were requiring a CS PhD for literal ‘help run a school computer lab’ jobs.

Home Depot wouldn’t even consider your resume if you had been in Tech either. One person I talked to (not HD) said that they considered techies ‘overly entitled brats’ and didn’t want to have anything to do with them. This was in the PNW.

Previously it was super high pay, no formal education required - as long as you could code.

This was before AI or automated applications or the like, so I was doing 15 something manual applications a week.

I ended up moving something like 8 states away to take a middle of nowhere software dev job - after applying for over a year - at 1/4 the salary that I had been previously paid. It worked out.

Frankly, employers are being pretty mellow considering the market conditions. So far anyway.

The biggest issue right now IMO is general confusion and overwhelm + widespread fraud and lying (in both sides of the market) resulting in the market nearly locking up.

Which is putting a lot of people in very awkward positions. But things aren’t desperate enough yet to cut through the BS.

No one is sure what they really want to do, what is reasonable, or what will work to produce an outcome they want, and that is causing everything to be a giant tarpit.

This is what people mean when they say ‘life isn’t fair’. Well, a very mellow version of it.
Their dx9 drivers seem to, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did it for 10-11 as well.

> F*ck fixed length SIMD.

There is the issue. It goes completely against how the current landscape of SIMD support looks like and what everything is optimized around (it's fixed length SIMD, variable length has huge issues getting mapped onto anything that isn't auto-vectorization).

Now, I'm not a fan of RISC-V so, if anything, I encourage their way of doing RVV. Makes it more likely to die.
No evidence I’ve ever seen, and people have looked at the communications pretty extensively.

We have looked at GitLab in the past, but I wasn't involved in that process. Generally though:

- Enterprise support is very important to us
- Migrating thousands of repos and training hundreds of devs to use a new VCS is a huge and expensive task
- We have custom integrations with GitHub that would need to be rewritten as well
Unsolicited critique is almost always unwelcome critique, in my experience. Especially where someone else's 7 year old is concerned.
Show HN: I built a Laravel Starter Kit to build your next app in days not months
Hello HN!

I recently launched a Laravel Starter Kit called RapidPage that helps developers build their next app even faster than before.

The starter kit comes with pre-built components and a landing page, so you can focus entirely on the product you are creating.

I've also made it easy to create and manage subscriptions with Stripe, so you don't need to spend a lot of time on the boring stuff.

DevShaded
Relatively common nowadays. It used to be delineated as a feature in Intel chips as part of their vPro line, but I think it’s baked in. Generally an IOMMU is needed for performant PCI passthrough to VMs, and Windows uses it for DeviceGuard which tries to prevent DMA attacks.
I agree with your point. I also dont think recreational drugs are bad.

My position is that the technology does not possess the attributes you claim it does.

Prisons are not a technology. Prisons are buildings that use various technologies, including optics, metallurgy, concrete, electronics... etc. But prisons are an application.

Adoption of computers, and the decision to use them to oppress or to free, is entirely within in the purview of the adopter. That is, the only people to blame are the ones who set the technology to a specific purpose, those who apply it.

Your essay confuses application with existence, and I don't think that make sense. A car exists. It can be used to drive kids to school, or it can be used to mow down pedestrians. There is nothing inherent in the technology with relation to intent. I think the same is true of computers.

Potential application is not the same as intent.
The amount of antivax shit that floats around in a supposedly well informed community such as this is nauseating.

Makes me lose my faith in humanity a bit every time I read it.
> but then I remember avidemux, paint.net, foobar2000, and I realize that I will stay on windows

I felt like that, too. It's probably almost 10 years ago, when stuff kinda got easy, but weren't as of today. And after all I think, it's just habits.
Yes, Linux can be frustrating sometimes. But I don't want to go back to a windows dev environment. I started using Windows 11 on my current job. I had the opportunity to use whatever I want, but I was thinking I'll just get started with the things most people there use to get used to the workflow. And oh boy, Windows 11 is such a horrible experience. Setting up all the enterprise stuff with VPNs and what else we need was kinda tricky on Ubuntu, but I got it done and now I enjoy work much more.

But in the end it doesn't really matter. Pick the tools that work best for you and try to master them.
Great job, and I didn't know cats had such a wide field of vision they could see behind them!

> parenting starts almost as a selfish act. It all starts the moment we say: I want kids.

As a parent of a planned 2 year old I can most assuredly say I never thought "I want kids", it's difficult to even say any decision was made at all, beyond an unexpected awareness the environment for it was perfect and there was no friction. Everything else naturally flows from this and it really didn't require much discussion beyond that.
> The transistors cannot simply be replaced. Clipper’s aluminum-zinc electronics vault, meant to provide a measure of radiation resistance, was sealed in October 2023.

Surely they can be replaced! Humans (in cleanrooms) can put their hands inches away from them. Here's a picture, admittedly from 2022, before it was sealed:

https://europa.nasa.gov/resources/342/electronics-vault/

It's not the same as saying they've failed and are in orbit around Jupiter and so can't be replaced. They simply need to open and re-seal the vault or build and seal a new electronics vault before October.
It is irrelevant to the US federal government. Nowhere does S1A8 authorize Congress to act on starvation.
Ask HN: Devs using LLMs, how are you keeping costs low for LLM calls locally?
My project has a multi step LLM flow using gpt-4o.

While developing new features/testing locally, the LLM flow frequently runs, and I use a bunch of tokens. My openAI bill spikes.

I've made some efforts to stub LLM responses but it adds a decent bit of complexity and work. I don't want to run a model locally with ollama because I need to output to be high quality and fast.

Curious how others are handling similar situations.
Homes in Carmel already have addresses, so they'll now be official in some way they weren't before?

Here's a house on Zillow, with the house number clearly visible.

Apple Maps
https://maps.apple.com/?address=26387%20Isabella%20Ave,%20Ca...

There is something fishy though.

Searching for the address in Bing Maps shows the correct structure, but I can't seeem to generate a link with the address. The link is lat long.
https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=36.54084%7E-121.930825&lvl=19.7

Open Street Maps address queries don't seem to work, and when I select that location on the map, the geocoded address is incorrect but close.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=36.54084%2C-12...

What Carmel needs are affordable addresses, but that's a different problem entirely.
Only in a kind of abstract way. Just like you can in theory buy ebooks from someone other than Amazon, or make a rival company, but it won't make any difference. The individual just has to accept whatever they are given.
I think a lot of the problem comes from the phrase - 'comparison is the thief of joy'. Many people would be much happier with life if they weren't barraged by other hypothetical lifestyles and constantly comparing themselves to their neighbors. That's nothing new but much more amplified in the current environment.

I interviewed and helped hire Mark Thom, the original author of Scryer. I also follow Scryer with interest, even though most of my limited Prolog use has been with SWI Prolog (and one large project with ExperProlog in the 1980s).

One thing to check out: Prolog plays fairly well with Python, providing opportunities for hybrid projects.

>But it's an odd comparison taking the Dell latitude and comparing it to a Macbook Air, when the Macbook Air is designed around portability to the max

Who cares, it's not a race or benchmarking competition so why get fussy over it. And the Air is a good comparison for this since it's by far Apple's best selling laptop meaning there's a lot more of those on the used market than the rest.
That doesn't contradict the parent comment though. Engaged users should have an option somewhere to enable it, barely affecting the overall rollout.

The older you get the wider the range of people you're able/expected to relate to. When you're young, a 1 or 2 year age difference is a big deal. By the time you're middle age, a decade difference makes little difference.

Basically, what you're talking about isn't a long term problem.

> With the rise of GitHub and in particular the explosion of web development as an open platform, commercial stakeholders in software caught on to the compelling economics of open source.

It could also be that the grassroots of the dotcom era literally grew up and wanted to capitalize on their work, while still retaining their values. What we have today is something in-between closed source and open source. I.e. "commercial stakeholders" isn't a merged branch, but the linear evolution of the original one.

Hello, my name is DevShaded, but you can call me Fredrik!

To cut a story short, as a developer I hate spending time on building payment integration, and especially a landing page that looks good.

So, I came up with RapidPage, which helps me, and other developers like you to build your next app in days, not months!

The starter kit is built with Laravel with Breeze, Vue.js (with Inertia), and Tailwind CSS. For the payment integration, I am using Stripe as the payment processor, and Laravel Cashier.

I am currently working on more components that people can add to their landing page to look even better than before!

My own HR people tell me it happens lol

I don't get to see the fat stack of resumes they get, only the stuff HR has already approved and passed on to me to further review. I asked them about their process, and they basically prioritize anyone who has the exact keywords on the job listing, and they more or less straight up ignore anyone who doesn't.

We had a lot of frontenders that HR filtered out because they only had React on their resume, but not Vue or Svelte (both of which are much simpler than React, so even a complete Vue/Svelte novice would do fine if they were good at React). Similarly when we were looking to fill a Ruby (NOT Ruby on Rails) dev, they filtered out people that didn't have specifically Ruby and instead had `Ruby on Rails`.

You can't even blame them, half of the stuff in the job listings sounds like complete mumbo-jumbo to anyone not directly involved with the stuff. After they told me about the Rails thing I sat down with the HR team and gave them a high-level overview on this stuff, but it still happens from time to time, especially when the job requirements/description changes every once in a while. Plus, the edge cases here (is someone good at Python OK to let through for the Ruby job? What if they have an Elixir background? Or just JS one? etc.) are basically infinite, and you can't educate them on every single possible variety of technologies out there.

The only real system would be to have the devs evaluate every resume that comes in, but that comes with its own set of problems, too.

Bandcamp has a "if you like this, you may also like" feature which seems to be unbiased by listening history and allows unheard-of artists to crop up. I've found a few good recs that way although it can be hit-or-miss.
GHES is a massive monolith running dozens (hundreds?) of services in Nomad, so it's not surprising to me that GH has a hard time supporting it and wants folks to move away from it.

I'm tired of slow, risky, late-night upgrades to the appliance. I'm tired of sending support bundles and being told to run a customized string of MySQL commands to resolve peculiar issues. I'm tired of checking the roadmap and telling folks "yes, they announced that feature, but it won't be available to us for at least 12 months." I'm tired of a feature eventually being in the GHES release notes, only for GitHub to have made a mistake and it not be available for another two versions.

We're moving to GHEC. I'm concerned about the semi-frequent outages there, but we're not running HA GHES so it has become a liability for us.

I have been interested in Prolog since my time at the University, and I loved the idea of logic programming.

For "proper" Prolog, in 2024 it is a niche language alive in specific constraint solving applications, but not really used outside of that. I haven't seen anyone attempting at using prolog as a general purpose language since the 90'.

Datalog and logic-inspired languages tend to pop up here and there as domain-specific languages.

Rego is a recent incarnation which had good adoption for k8s and other "modern" systems. However, when trying to get people in my org to adopt it in practice, I saw engineers struggle with the paradigm when complexity grows to more than toy problems.

Other articles[1][2] mention that the transistors came from International Rectifier which was bought by Infineon ten years ago. Maybe Infineon wasn't aware because NASA acquired the transistors through their IR subsidiary. IR provided transistors for the JWST and even for Hubble[3], so they probably were NASAs go-to supplier for this kind of hardware.

My kid went through a phase in Middle School where she believed that in order to fit in she had to make sure her grades were not "too good". So she sabotaged herself for a few months. Once we got wind of what was going on there was family uproar for too long, but eventually we got through to her.

So thenceforth she stuck out and was hard to relate to I suppose all the way through high school. No, our family wasn't a crammer family, and she didn't seem too psychologically damaged then or now, working on a food science PhD (why? asks her overly practical father) at UCD.

Fitting in to the giant mode of the mediocre self damaging but socially favored crowd has costs too.
