Asking a design question like "Design a booking system, but with recurring appointments" is like asking "Write a function to order a list of string, but it has to work with arbitrary UTF-8 strings, in any locale, respecting alphabetical order conventions". It's a deceptively simple question that gets impossibly hairy if you try to make it work in a real-world, general, way.

Statistically speaking, you're right, but it's still possible (especially in our brave new world) to have standards that can't suffer anymore compromise before losing the meaning of "standard" itself.

You could also simply have bad luck compounding the issue. Stuff any amount of effort or masquerade won't fix, like being a short man (inb4 "I know this small guy that...").

Also worth considering SMT in mind when ARM is slightly per core. But at the end ARM are likely the better trade offs, as a 128 or 256 ARM core per socket, even 2W per core would be 512W excluding IO.

ARM has a slight head start in terms of wide front end design. I believe we see true potential of the ground up design in Zen 5 to be available in Zen 6.

Exciting times. We finally have cheap CPU core to scale our web app without doing much.
I think true beauty in design arises from its function. It’s a beauty that serves a purpose, solves problems, and meets needs
yeah, I'm sure Genshin impact's creators went out of business when their Kernel access anti-cheat was hacked by ransomware or more recently the hacks mid live broadcasted tournaments (don't remember which game, I think it was apex).

I mean that's what kids, teenagers, and young adults and non technical people in general are known for: their prudence and good technical decision making.

Not just developers but everyone.

The world has changed and we often collaborate globally.

I remember we had todo this zoom meeting.

- 1 guy from USA
- 1 guy from Europe
- 1 guy from East Africa
- 1 guy from Singapore

It was extremely difficult to schedule a meeting off head.

When the it was okay for the guy from East Africa to meet it was like 5 am in Singapore.

Even if you successfully organise the meeting.

The organizer having to translate all times to the respective time zones of the audience is just so painful.

Okay now we have Calendly a tool we have to sign up for. But conversations of scheduling would be much easier if everyone in the world used UTC

Ask HN: What is the logic behind FANG companies doing acquisitions?
There was a recent rumour in the news about Google making an offer to buy Wiz for 23 billion dollars, and an incredible (perhaps BS) story of Wiz turning it down.

Now, for some acquisitions such as WhatsApp/Instagram that have a ridiculous number of users pre-acquisition, it makes sense. You can't assuredly build that sort of product-market fit on the first go .. so buying it when others have achieved it makes sense. But cloud security??? Google already has smart engineers and supporting professionals .. couldn't they just match Wiz's features? I don't get how such a big acquisition was even on the table.

P.S. After the CloudStrike incident, I really wonder how this whole space will evolve. Wonder if that threw a wrench in the Wiz-Alphabet story.

The idea of cultured meat sounds wonderful. Its real meat, but without the guilt.

But there is the cold reality of enshittification and the numerous sketchy practices of the industrial food industry. So one has to make a choice: the traditional "Iowa" meat industrial complex or the new "valley bro" meat industrial one? For now at least I feel safer with the former.
That's just a way to make themselves look good. You should read that with anti-bullshit glasses on:

I already gave another in-depth reply, so I'll keep this one short: the idea that the current US nuclear arsenal would be fully needed to cripple Russia or China's military and industrial capacity is ridiculous, and has been thoroughly rejected any time military analysts were actually asked by the government to make a survey of the US's nuclear plans (which is, not that often).

You don't need to bomb every station of a train line to cripple the line. If you want to stop car production, you don't need to blow up the car factory, the bolt factory, the windshield factory, and every single rare earth mine in the country.

Yet those are the kind of assumptions the US doctrine relies on.

Quoting from [1]: again:

> Another jaw-dropping example: One part of the nuclear war plan called for destroying the Soviet tank army. As a result, JSTPS aimed a lot of weapons at not only the tanks themselves, but also the factory that produced the tanks, the steel mill that supplied the factory, the ore-processing facility that supplied the steel mill, and the mine that furnished the ore.

Agreed on that point, but very few places in the US—safe or unsafe—are walkable. Even the safest upper middle class suburb is totally untraversable without a car. So the problem clearly isn't just crime.
First, where does the "nobody cared" come from? Second, so what you're saying is that any maternal deaths at all means society is neglecting pregnant women? Because your argument applies even if we believe there's zero maternal deaths per year and later we find out there's actually one per year.

I use both to try to mitigate the risk of losing data due to a backup format/program bug[1]. If I wasn't worried about that, I'd probably go with Borg but only because my offsite backup provider can be made to enforce append-only backups with Borg, but not Restic, at least not that I could find.[2] Otherwise, I have not found one to be substantially better than the other in practice.

1 - some of my first experiences with backup failures were due to media problems -- this was back in the days when "backup" pretty much meant "pipe tar to tape" and while the backup format was simple, tape quality was pretty bad. These days, media -- tape or disk -- is much more reliable, but backup formats are much more complex, with encryption, data de-dup, etc. Therefore, I consider the backup format to be at least as much of a risk to me now as the media. So, anyway, I do two backups: the local one uses restic, the cloud backup uses borg.

2 - I use rsync.net, which I generally like a lot. I wrote up my experiences with append-only backups, including what I did to make them work with rsync.net here: https://marcusb.org/posts/ransomware-resistant-backups/
there's a few obvious things, poverty and worse economic conditions and thus worse medical care, higher rates of obesity, as the article points out cardiovascular diseases are generally considered to be a driver of mortality rates.

As for racism, a known observation is that black women in particular are treated as "tough" and tend to not have symptoms taken as seriously, as far as I'm aware that even holds when the doctors are black. It's a bad and very old stereotype.
Tbf at Google / Apple scale this may not hold true, but an addition should not cause any noticeable stress to a DB as a generated column.

In the article, the author lost half a million over capitalization. Using just that example (because it’s what we’re talking about) explain how it matters very little.
This doesn't function as an interface though. You cannot pass a FooBar to a function that expects a Foo, for example, and although you can fairly easily reference the Foo-part of a FooBar instance (`foobar.Foo`) there is no way to pass e.g. an array of FooBar instances to a function that takes a slice of Foo[] as its argument. That's the problem to be solved.
Ok, but why?

I like the beauty of an expressive type system as much as the next guy, but is there any scenario where:

type FooBar = mergeMaps Foo Bar

Is better for solving real-world problems than

type FooBar = { "_foo", Foo, "_bar", Bar }

or whatever?

Agreed completely. From a reader perspective, blogs are also often not friendly to new visitors. How do I find the best entry point? Which entries are fluff and which are deep dives? The best you can usually hope for is some tagging mechanism, but blogs generally expend little to no effort thinking about architecture, discovery, browsability, or the reader’s progression through the site. Don’t get me wrong - that’s a lot to ask of a casual effort. But I do wish we had a genre/format for sharing one’s thoughts online that did encourage reflection and iteration on that level.

3. they work in unsexy industries or high risk stuff e.g gambling

For nuclear power to be successful in the US the following needs to be done:

1. Pick a design

2. Build it over and over again

Economies of scale is as true for nuclear as it is for any other widget (and you don't ned SMRs to do this). Part of the issue was that there were/are so many variations of designs in US, even with the same manufacturer/builder.

France 56 reactors were built in 15 years. Beginning in 1958, Canada built 25 nuclear power reactors over the course of 35 years, with only three of them located outside of Ontario. When Japan started building BWRs in 1989, they averaged 5 years between commencement of building and commercial operation:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_nuclear_rea...

I'm sure some tweaking of regulations could be useful, but probably not strictly necessary.

The first one (of a particular design) will be expensive AF, the second will be expensive, but costs will start stabilizing once the logistics chain is running.
China Is Getting Secretive About Its Supercomputers
I'm gonna risk sounding dismissive here but the article very cautiously points at a cause: "While this study wasn’t able to explore specific causes of death, a large body of prior research, much of it published by Khan, has found cardiovascular disease (hypertensive disorders, heart failure and stroke) is a major contributor to poor maternal health outcomes."

Hypertensive disorders are typically associated with obesity so the reason could be that there's an increasing share of pregnancies happening with people who are overweight. I leave the sociodynamic interpretation of this up to the reader.
> Past performance is not a guarantee of future success.

True.

I am still of the belief humans will continue to human. If an uprising of billions vs millions lose, the "elite" would also no longer be "elite".

While I have no data, other than observation, the "elite", imo, need the validation of their status more than those who have none and gave it to them in the first place. If they do something so brash as to rid the world of these unwashed masses, they have no one left to rise above. I don't see them all of a sudden becoming great members of this new society; they wanted to own society, not be a citizen in it. How that wouldn't lead to self-elimination at that point is hard to imagine - thus a needed evolution of the species (even if that's extinction and another hominid group later inheriting the leftover mess)

Ask HN: Privacy focused personl accounting software
Hey there!

I'm looking for a privacy focused (i.e. NON web, no sync) accounting software for personal use.

For the past 12 years, I've been recording every penny. I tried multiple software throughout the years: Excel, GnuCash, MoneyDance, Banktivity (which I use now), however none of them proved to be good enough.

I spend money in various currencies, have investments, and manage multiple bank accounts, including joint household account. I don't care for budgeting, all I want to see is how much I spend per category, and identify where I overspend (I'm find with entering data manually, did it for years). Banktivity is good, but it has a shit load of useless features, as well as no comprehensive reporting on investments.

I'm considering complementing my investment tracking with Portfolio Performance[0], but I still need a software to keep track of day to day accounting (income, expense and categories + comprehensive reports). GnuCash comes close, but before I migrate 12 years worth of data, I was wondering if someone knows anything better.

Things I do NOT care for: budgeting, web, subscription based, bank sync (but stock sync is needed). No CLI please (sorry ledger guys). I DO need simple data files that can be put in iCloud, and support for MacOS.

Thanks!

Unless the user has a habit of installing APKs from Telegram, the workflow will probably be: tapping the video -> "Telegram cannot play this. Open in an external app?" -> "APK installation is restricted for this app (click 'settings')" -> "Install unknown apps (click 'allow from this source')" -> Go back -> Open the video again -> "Do you want to install this application?"

If you call the app "video player required for this movie" you may be able to convince users to give all of these permissions, but this isn't like the type confusion exploits on Windows where you can go from application to executing a program in one click.
You capitalize it, just like you did with the first word of that sentence. That’s because it is an improper noun. My quote was:

Huh? Replicas are easy, and hot standby nodes aren’t that hard either. There are also various active-active solutions if you need that.
I have better things to fight against than hair loss.
My sense (and I think this matches what you are saying) is that the best design is to make habits smoother and doing that often involves difficult engineering. We like to think about reasons and meaning and purpose and such but humans are primarily a collection of habits with rare changes in intent and a lot of correcting for stuff that doesn't go smoothly. The best design often becomes almost invisible because it just works, but it takes a lot of design effort and engineering for that to be possible. If you write down the differences between a great design and an ok design they can often sound entirely trivial but aren't if you think from the perspective of habits.

I recently found this really excellently designed grain bin from Masuda Kiribako:

https://kirihaco.shop-pro.jp/?pid=181616902

It looks nice but is fairly simple; if you haven't spent a bunch of time looking at available alternatives it might not look like anything special. Keeping grain away from insects and humidity and oxygen (and sometimes rodents, though I'm not sure how well this one would do in that case) while still being able to access it easily is not trivial. Plastic buckets work well and are cheap but don't look as nice and most lids are annoying (I suspect the lid on this one might possibly be a bit annoying as well but likely not as bad). Glass jars are nice to use but fragile and best for smaller amounts. Wood is particularly challenging due to the dimensional instability and they use a particular type of wood with something like eight years of preparation to make durable boxes. (I suspect the magnet on the scoop is pure marketing though, you can't even use it when refilling if you hook the lid on the edge which is the one time it would be really handy).

I think low latency is one of the things that makes software and websites feel really nice to use and is often overlooked.
Sure, Google could build it themselves in a year or two, or they could buy it and have it now.

Also… there are selection effects here. Google can build it themselves, but would it be as good as what Wiz have already built? If Wiz wasn’t good, they wouldn’t have considered buying them.

The “free advertising” has little impact on profits from flight tickets, as most aggregators don’t sell at a huge markup. He’s probably thinking of revenue Booking made from hotel bookings, where margins are way higher - but that’s not really taking away revenue from the flight company (and they get affiliate agreements to earn back a significant chunk of that).

> too big to effectively cut off

This is also true for the hotel industry, and is part of their moat. Smaller hotels especially can have the bulk of their revenue coming from aggregators, so they can’t drop the platform regardless of how much they like it or not. Building your own marketing channels is hard and expensive.

Working for the past 30 years, I've had the chance - like many others - to live the closed office times, then the open space extravaganza to finally the "work from home" era.

I've seen companies spend tens of millions in open space offices in the past decades and this was by far the greatest work killer of all time.

Many, if not most companies, self created this ridiculous situation to finally realize it was a complete failure at so many levels, all that was left was to justify it. From awful diners and mini restaurants to ridiculous spaces no one really uses unless they need to make a phone call - open concepts don't work and never will.

Now days the only thing I see are noise cancelling headsets, people leaving early and a complete lack of interaction.

For many, working from home just works. My setup here is now years ahead of what the office may offer...
