Congratulations on the launch Zai and Konsti!

I’m working on a hobby project that I had to build in basic email password auth using Auth.js due to a clients specific requirement.

I’ve experienced all the headaches you mentioned above, so I’ll be certainly taking a deeper look into this.

Again, great work!

Cheers!
You're right, "these days" isn't correct, it's something I added without really thinking about it.

After all, the earliest sources of "Journalism" were not much more than PR rags for the local lord. "Yellow Journalism", is over a century old. There is an amount of romanticism for the era around Watergate, and the Fairness Doctrine though which a lot of people harken to for "the good old days"

However I think the situation has gotten incredibly worse for journalism in general because of there simply not being the money in it any more. Journalists are must produce more for less, quality slips even further, the attention economy becomes even more acute (although that aspect was always there to a degree in the tabloid news)

Are you essentially asking if there's a way for cloudflare to change the host header?

You can use a worker to proxy things like this, but that's going to live outside of the SSL settings and CF proxy, unless you set up an additional zone for "origin." and proxy apex to that.
Oof, sorry to hear it. File a ticket if you have specific things come up:

I’m not seeing news about that when I search for it. Got a source?
Yes. Both Zai and I care a lot about FOSS — we also believe that open-source business models work, and that most proprietary devtools will slowly but surely be replaced by open-source alternatives. Our monetization strategy is very similar to Supabase — build in the open, and then charge for hosting and support. Also, we reject any investors that don't commit to the same beliefs.
I think that makes sense! Basically something that is forced on me vs something I have chosen to participate in. It could be argued whether it fits the latter but reframing can be pretty powerful! I think partially it's that I know that it's a temporary distraction and that's something I'm used to in quest-based games but ultimately I still manage to get the temporary small distractions done (and typically have more fun with those) while still making progress towards the larger quest/goal in this case.
>Does HIV prevention research get more resources than curing cancer? I'm looking through the NIH website and asking Claude and so far the evidence I've seen is leading me to believe that's true, but I could be mistaken.

I don't know. Does it matter? If you think it does, why?

Note that I wasn't advocating for resources to be taken away from research on treatment/cures for other diseases.

That said, more resources should be applied to curing cancers and other deadly diseases as well.

A lot of these are symptoms of the root cause: a bad product. Ultrabooks aren't a terrible concept; they're the Wintel version of Macbook Airs. Making a non-Apple Apple device is a fine business strategy, and Samsung has made plenty of money off of it. The problem was that Intel chips continually crippled them, making them hot and slow with no battery life. People don't like Celerons and iGPUs because they all run at the speed of molasses.

Any of these branding decisions would have worked fine, if the products did. But no amount of marketing will fix bad engineering.
It doesn't until it does. Productivity isn't the only or even the most important metric, at least in software dev.
But don't they need to get into the GPU business?

Surely GPUs or similarly very parallel machines for things like ML training are very needed and will remain very needed. Seeing as firms such as Groq have done fine, surely Intel can do something of that sort without much difficulty?

Since their GPU business has been unsuccessful perhaps they can go for whatever makes sense, as there's nothing of this sort that they can release that will compete with their own products.

> The fear of insufficient calories to survive is all but eradicated. Obesity is the new marker of poverty.

Tell that to the millions of families in the US who are food insecure TODAY. And calories alone are not enough.

"the USDA found that nearly 7 million households were so financially squeezed last year that they had to skip meals at times because there wasn't enough food to go around. Almost all of these households said they couldn't afford to eat balanced meals." ~NPR

As for employment, that 4.3% unemployment (per MSNBC on 8/3/24) still represents some 13 million people. I'd hesitate to call that "full employment" by any metric. And it doesn't count the other roughly 20% who are not counted in that statistic who are not working (intentionally or not).
I can totally relate to all of that. My current approach to it is to fill in the gaps in browsers using other tools. Minimize dependence on both tabs and bookmarks since they suck so much. An editor containing my notes open next to the browser. Making copies of things I care about (and giving them good backups) as it's become clear that we can't depend on anything to last out in the world.

I've actually started to think that this kind of hodge-podge of tools is a good thing. Software is hard, bugs are inevitable. Multiple tools from different authors make my setup more resilient. Tools keep growing more complex; adding features to a single tool only exacerbates that trend. I also feel a greater sense of agency. I'm not at the mercy of my tool provider, I can identify problems and solve them for myself.
> but real solutions are yet to be found

"Real solutions" exist, but voters won't want to hear them, so we kick the can down the road until the system collapses by itself naturally.
My comment is made from the background of someone who has led the effort of bringing software development in-house, building a 20-odd FTE dev team, and is still leading it 3 years in.

I'd not bring everything in-house at once unless you really have to. Your fear that the devil is in the details is very much justified (I have stories, boy, do I have stories ...). However, in your position I would definitively start building a dedicated tech team. That allows you to start developing real solutions to solve pain points in a way that feels less like "filling the gaps" and more like "the first steps towards a better future". It also may make you a better, more informed customer which may perhaps help with your current vendor as well. It also gives you something to fall back on if the proviable shit really hits the fan with your current vendor.

Do not underestimate the importance of product management. Product management drives your development team. If you now use a basically off-the-shelf product, this is likely taken care of for you. Or not, given you describe the vendor as stagnant. In either case, you need to have that covered well.

One-is-zero: do not rely on single individuals, build a team. At the leadership level you'd want at least a product lead, business analyst, cto and a senior software architect. Make sure they work together as a team and that there is healthy cross-over in expertise/experience so that people can cover for eachother. In-house, not contracted.

I'd advice against fully outsourcing to an agency. You can contract a development team, and depending on where you are located that may be the most realistic option, especially in the beginning. But make sure you are at the steering wheel and have the people and experience in-house to use that wheel well (see previous point).

Invest in boring things like documentation and testing right from the beginning. It will pay for itself many times over. If you let it slide, you'll never catch up and you'll pay for /that/ many times over.

Other than that there's probably a lot I've learned from my adventure so far, but I find it typically difficult to assess what the lessons learned are unless someone pokes me with the right questions. Feel free to reach out at my HN username @ mailbox.org.
That's how it's been done at my current employer. A few good folks moved away before the RTO and were allowed to stay.

As one of them (well, I'm at least folk), I can only imagine the angst it causes those who didn't, and thus had to RTO.
> How long does it take to bring a big ship like Intel around and undo decades of internal rot?

If it takes that long, then this is your actual problem, and not how many engineers are in the loop at the board level.
To play Quake or Counter-Strike competently, you have to use a PC, a keyboard, and, crucially, a mouse. A console controller can't hope to compete. And a ton of players play on consoles from a sofa, before a large TV. To capture this audience, the FPS games had to slooow doooown.
Is "all else being equal" a rational assumption?
His view is not just that they are not practical to compute at scale. (They actually are practical to compute. Just not with the formula. Use row reduction instead.)

His view is that they are presented as an arbitrary piece of magic that people really don't understand. And, exactly because they don't really understand the determinant, they wind up not properly understanding fundamental concepts in linear algebra. Such as Jordan normal form.

If your goal is actually to properly understand linear algebra, he's absolutely right. If your goal is to use linear algebra for a wide variety of practical purposes, though, determinants are often essential.

I wouldn't say that, there definetly are FPS games with a very high skill ceiling. It's just that most of them nowadays have more of a mix of raw mechanical skill and tactical play (with team mates). Take Counter Strike or Valorant for instance which mix a high requirement for mechanical skill with lots of tactical thinking. Or games like Overwatch and Pubg where aim is still important, but cooperation and positioning will mostly beat that.
It would be great if my kid was into the video games I was into as a kid, but I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that she's a different person, grew up in a different environment, has different expectations out of video games. You can't force someone to like something. Same with movies and music. I tried to get her into Harry Potter and Star Wars and the kid/teen movies I grew up with like The Goonies and Flight of the Navigator, but those movies just so old to this generation, and there's nothing in it for them to relate to.

Building software in two weeks?

It would probably take more than two weeks just to understand their business enough to be able to get your mind around what they need.
It sounds like you're saying "buy something else, and that's all you should do", but loudly discussing these things is part of making "buy something else" have a chance of being effective.

Also, I like repairability laws here too even if some people don't.

Well, I write software for the web, and at this point I consider Google to be an entirely negative company.

So now, to the maximum extent possible, I work to undermine their interests and to not participate with their products or addons or browsers.

Great strategy on their part.
We have seen some improvements for some diseases. But so many others, especially any mental health issues, are not seeing much progress from the "drown the brain in these chemicals" method of treatment.

So yeah. I don't want to be a downer, but I'm not seeing what I would call enough movement. And it's slowing down even more (and those chemicals are becoming harder and harder to get sometimes) as pharma and hospitals focus on profit over health.

Even "solved" problems (really, problems which can/could be managed) are becoming issues again thanks to profit seeking. See insulin.

EDIT: So much for not wanting to be a downer.
Learning is always exploring a search space. Literally deciding which choice would be most likely to get to an answer. If you have a set of answers, deciding what alterations would make for a better answer.

Like, I don't know what you think is wrong on that? The human/expert feedback is there to provide scores that we don't know how to fully codify, yet. Is effectively acknowledging that we don't know how to codify the "I know it when I see it" rule. And based on those scores, the model updates and new things can be scored.

What is not accurate in that description?
This is bunk anecdata.

DEI initiatives across all industries are considered luxury goods. They provide no measurable impact the bottom line. Ignoring that, I've yet to find someone who has thought hiring these DEI experts over more engineering or management to be the fiscally intelligent choice.

When money supply shrinks the fat gets cut. The DEI initiatives were excessive levels of fat and in a value-driven economy this stuff gets cut.

This doesnt mean that RTO wasn't used to get people to quit. It's just this anecdata is a thinly disguised political op-ed rather than what most major news has reported for the last 2 years. Correlation is not causation. The majority of the first cuts from 2021-2023 came from these initiatives (and HR in general) as paying someone 250,000 dollars to browbeat people at the company all-hands is neither productive nor fiscally responsible.
Many games these days assume that you will. Minecraft was until recently a prime example.
There's often another reason. Some companies like Google own quite a bit of commercial real estate. Forcing people to use the office again is bolstering that investment in real estate. Is it working? Not really.
Wow. Kudos for this. The dedication must be extreme. Respect.

> Do you live in a universe where micro-USB cables are not available, or something? There's gonna be something or other that needs micro-USB for the next decade, so just buy a few and move on. They're not expensive.

I live in a universe where type C has been the standard interface for devices for years, offering significant advantages with no downsides other than a slightly higher cost connector, and it's reasonable to be frustrated at vendors releasing new devices using the old connector.

It's certainly not as bad as some vendors of networking equipment who still to this day release new designs with Mini-B connectors that are actually officially deprecated, but it's not good nor worthy of defending in any way.

> I bet it has to do with backwards compatibility. They don't want people to need to rework case designs to use something that is meant as a drop-in replacement for the Pi Pico 1.

Your logic is likely accurate here, but that just moves the stupid choice back a generation. It was equally dumb and annoying to have Micro-B instead of C on a newly designed and released device in 2021 as it is in 2024.

The type C connector was standardized in 2014 and became standard on phones and widely utilized on laptops starting in 2016.

IMO the only good reason to have a mini-B or micro-B connector on a device is for physical compatibility with a legacy design that existed prior to 2016. Compatibility with a previous bad decision is not a good reason, fix your mistakes.

Type A on hosts will still be a thing for a long time, and full-size type B still makes sense for large devices that are not often plugged/unplugged where the size is actually a benefit, but the mini-B connector is deprecated and the micro-B connector should be.

Just because something is important (although I'm not saying that manned space exploration is), doesn't mean it has to be done tomorrow.

e.g. It's important you save for your kids college, but you don't need to have all the money saved up by time they are 10 years old.

Rushing an important task can also cause it to fail. Being overly aggressive with college savings by putting it in high-risk investments would not be conducive to meeting goals, and NASA losing public support by getting crew killed unnecessarily would not be conducive to them getting funding for future manned missions.

The AI boom is, in theory, a godsend for Intel and AMD. You can focus on creating good tensor computation hardware, without having to worry about getting gamers on board. No need for "Game ready drivers" or compatibility with complex legacy graphics APIs.

Of course, there's the elephant the room for general purpose tensor machines, which is CUDA - famously closely guarded Nvidia. But with the new wave of "above-CUDA" APIs like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras, there's an opportunity to skip the CUDA layer altogether.
