Lots of (justified) negative observations. But I love the way the code looks (which, by far, is the most important thing for documentation of code).

Show HN: Local Rubble Business
I helped a friend set up a local rubble business. The idea (although still a long way off) is to be the best Rubble Removal website on the internet.

The thinking is few rubble removal businesses would have the funds to hire a full developer team, but in the case of Legendsfreight we are a group of friends who are all in tech positions in our day jobs that can support the owner's business with skills.

That is the ideal, the reality is, aside from the informative website, I am unsure what to do to take it further and make it stand out more online, especially in search.

Looking forward to suggestions and collaborations to make the idea work: "Create the best Rubble Removal website business on the internet."
That's all very cool. As an aside I always remembered the bacon number was between Bacon and anyone else, Hollywood actor or not. Keeping it withing Hollywood makes a lot more sense.
> 2. Postgre is not serverless, so it is not easy to separate read and write, and it is not easy to auto scaling

By the time you're hitting the limitations of vertical scaling a single do-everything instance of Postgres on cloud infrastructure, you're making boatloads of money and can afford to stand up something else for search. And besides which, creating read replicas horizontally is very doable.

Though to be fair, I wouldn't implement moderately complex search on postgres, just because there are better tools for the job. Keeping data consistent between multiple systems though is "involved", and there's therefore a good argument for doing search in Postgres if your needs are simple.
Without regulation they just sold your data to hundred companies without any chance of you knowing, or ability to deny... and that's better?

I was very young when I first saw the Commodore C64 maze generation trick using forward slash and backward slash. The characters are randomly selected and just printed one after another, the result is a maze-like pattern.

YugabyteDB: Cloud-Native Distributed SQL for Mission-Critical Apps
The GDPR is the "nobody can compromise your privacy" part and the surveillance is the "except me" part. Big Brother's whole spiel was "we're watching over you for your own good".

To clarify, I like the GDPR, and wish the EU would give us more of that and less of the surveillance.
The fact that in his first issue the author doesn't mention the method stringByAppendingString: makes me think he's not really well versed in Objective-C. I'd think every Objective-C dev that has spent a reasonable amount of time with the language would use this method for string concatenation in the situation he described (append one string with on another string).

As such, I don't trust his experience with Objective-C enough to warrant his opinion on the language.
there is that, but that's not true for all changes.

the problem is that even innovations that do work and can be replicated successfully do not scale because the system as it is is highly resistive to change and that is what limits the potential to scale for any change.

And then what? No one is going to navigate an instance that is just spam, and other instances will promptly block them.
I agree, I should have said "the thinking that gives us the GDPR on one hand (good) and mass surveillance on the other (bad)".
You do realize, that we got on that channel because we're picking a bone with the government, right?
You only have piles of yaml if you have piles of stuff to use. If you’re just running a single container then it’s not really much yaml at all. The config has to go somewhere, and 50 lines of yaml vs chef vs terraform - I don’t really care.
I'm integrating daily steps walked into my workout/nutrition tracking app EverBeat for Android. I've noticed that this is an important metric for many people interested in losing some weight.

I estimate burned calories on the minute-to-minute level for all activities, which is a fun challenge.

For the steps to calories conversion, I require time and distance walked. Unfortunately it's surprisingly difficult to get some kind of distance information from Android. Google Fit API provides this data, but will be killed soon. The RecordingAPI will hopefully provide this in the future, but not yet...
It was fun to read, but it would’ve probably been easier to rely on seccomp filters instead.
Alternatively you could use "gestor", which has the same stem. "Gestionar" and "gerente" have different origins, so no wonder they look very different.

If passion, or own experience, is missing it may be a case of unknown unknowns for both parents and teachers.

The Matika site looks really nice but I have difficulties comprehending the instructions. Even the very first one for first grade. “Children step by record.” What does that mean? I tried the next one. “During addition we write addends below each other…” What? If all addends are below, no addend is on the top. It makes no sense. Then, “…and the sum below the line” with no line in sight. What, where, which line, how? That was frustrating.
This piece really strikes at the heart of the current abuse/explosion of the open source ecosystem. There needs to be a new license which explicitly states that a project will continue it's open source ethos in perpetuity? Or something like that?

Modern day EU, is a sharing of power structure over the EU between France and Germany. The institutional seats for the EU are in Brussels, Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. Poland and the UK wanted Turkey to join the union to provide voting balance against Germany and France. This didn't happen and France made it clear that they'll never agree to it. The UK left because of this imbalance (despite having special privileges).

One way to think about the current EU in medieval terms: A personal union between France and Germany; and a bunch of associated vassal states.
That's one way to get ready for Age of Mythology: Retold's release.
Interesting:

> With Strix Point, AMD’s mobile iGPU has a newer graphics architecture than its desktop counterparts. It’s an unprecedented situation, but not a surprising one. Since the DX11 era, AMD has never been able to take and hold the top spot in the discrete GPU market. Nvidia has been building giant chips where cost is no object for a long time, and they’re good at it. Perhaps AMD sees lower power gaming as a market segment where they can really excel. Strix Point seems to be a reflection of that.

Did AMD figure out that this market segment is underserved by NVidia? If so, good for them, laptops could use better GPUs.
Alot of people think the North Koreans dont have internet, or have very slow internet.

Not true. A privileged few have very fast internet access via fibre cable from China. And they have cyber offensive teams that do attacks like this.
When your idea of a sensible argument includes things such as "but think about the children" or "stop being a coward" then I think you should reconsider how you communicate your thoughts.
Most of the people I know use Telegram to buy drugs.
The main use of Telegram in France is supporting illegal activities. The page allowing you to discover channels in your neighbourhood was clearly designed to facilitate that. Telegram has basically no market share as a chat application here outside of that.

You don’t see “the West” whatever that means go after WhatsApp, Signal or Matrix. That should tell you something.

You don't have to be that big for mixed workloads to cause issues for a do-everything PG instance.

Imagine a scenario where read-heavy but infrequent search queries end up pushing, say, your sessions table out of cache.

Postgres has no facilities for earmarking cache for one table vs another, so the noisy neighbor problem is real, and hard to fix. You can throw money/ram at it, but that's needlessly expensive if you have some workloads that don't require that level of performance.

What prevents people from using Signal or Matrix to distribute drugs, besides serious usability issues?
The difference is that you're asking it to perform one intellectual task (write a program) instead of 100 menial tasks (parse a file). To the LLM the two are the same level of complexity, so performing less work means less possibility of error.

Also, the LLM is more likely to fail spectacularly by hallucinating APIs when writing a script, and more likely to fail subtly on parsing tasks.
In the 70's there was a significant trend of translating programming languages to French - for example LSE, Pascal, Cobol, Algol... Didn't abide - we now take English for granted but reading code in my native is a strange sensation !

Very, very good: perfect for didactic. I thought I'd try this on SQLite, but I am in a rush right now... So I checked the documentation to refresh my memory about the extent of relevant SQL implementation in SQLite, and...

I’m working on a few things:

- Micro SaaS https://yasl.at, link shortening with custom meta data for link previews on messengers/social media, see my blog post for more details: https://yasl.at/dKpNnZ

- A web game called Wizencraft (https://wizencraft.com) which is a logic puzzle to guess the right order of items as quickly as possible which lets you compete with other players, solve daily challenges in groups and let’s you grind thousands of items, it's a very early alpha and I'm building it in public very iteratively and not polished at first, see more details here: https://yasl.at/XnoDtY

- And last but not least I started to build a not yet published simple dashboard for analytics where I can plugin my self-hosted database very easily. You can just write SQL queries for MongoDB, Clickhouse, Postgresql in a single YAML which defines the query and how a chart looks like on the dashboard.

The idea came from the fact that using other dashboard/analytic tools always is a hassle, existing analytics dashboards I used for products are not easy to copy, replicate or adjust and it's mostly doable solely via clicking in a complex frontend instead of defining it simply via a configuration and the available offerings are charging large.

I'm planning to have the chart definition editable via web interface and is stored locally as files which can be versioned and managed by git and can connected to the web interface with a simple docker container (this brings the analytics dashboard to the product source code itself and can be easily copied/adjusted again for new products). Happy to share more and once the first version of the dashboard is ready to use (in the coming weeks...).

---

Would love your thoughts on all of this and especially the analytics dashboard. Did you you face similar issues/problems with existing solutions (or if i can stop and actually use an existing solution which does what I'd like to have).
I would disagree. I learned the basics and done things like cryptopals and that was enough to be aware of everything in this post. At the same time, I understand the threshold of things I shouldn't touch much better. With the right curriculum, you can focus on the non-dangerous ideas, rather than spending time on the math behind RSA like my uni course did. (And ended up practically useless)

You don't need to be proficient at cryptography to be aware of the common attack classes and reasons we use prepackaged things like NaCl before going low level.
I spent some time porting the Go garbage collector to Rust, it was most definitely not written in assembly, and was (at the time) known as one of the most high performance garbage collectors for its particular use case.

And even if there was some assembly at some deep level I hadn't got to yet, you can easily embed assembly in Rust so it wouldn't be an issue.

Also, what sort of problem would there be with cache hierarchies that assembly would be a good solution for? Do you mean just guaranteeing the collection loop runs in L1 cache?
Humans don't really generate text as a series of words. If you've ever known what you wanted to say but not been able to remember the word you can see this in practice. Although the analogy is probably a helpful one, LLMs are basically doing the word remembering bit of language, without any of the thought behind it.
The point is to see what we can still calculate when we change our assumptions.

In the case where we construct a black-on-white boundary with two sheets of paper we could for example say that the white paper on its own has two-dimensions but the combination of two papers has fractal dimensions, like 1.5 dimensions. This eventually leads to the Mandelbrot fractal.

But note that we took another step after that, similar to the first. This third construction let us very quickly start to think about highly abstract things and our minds remain capable of dealing with them. We can 'see' otherwise invisible things with our minds, like reading between the lines.
The problem is management sets the core rules and incentives. And no matter how competent and motivated you are, at some point you either move along or stop caring.

> It’s not just Boeing. It’s everyone, everywhere. All systems in every market require so much extra “stuff” that we’re on a spiral.

Nah. That's just another facet of engineering incompetence.

Complexity doesn't just happen, it is allowed to happen.

We repeatedly went to the moon over 50 years ago, with complex systems that were well understood by the different teams that built them.

Now, 50 years later, if we are not capable of repeating the same feat, we are doing something wrong.

If we use software-controlled hardware and then throw are hands in the air screaming "it's too complex", we are doing something wrong. That stuff shouldn't have been used in the first place.

Signal or Matrix don’t openly advertise channels next to you selling drugs from directly inside the application. Telegram does.

The “people nearby” feature is literally “find me a dealer close by”.
in the united states the terminology is reversed. "kindergarten" starts at age 5 for one year before school. "preschool" is everything before kindergarten. so there it's pre-school as in not-school, whereas elsewhere it's pre-school as in the year just before school.

Opposition to phonics is political and I'm not sure how it got that way, but it does make the curriculum more resistant to change than most curricula (which are already fairly resistant).

It's really common for me to encounter adults doing things like reading sentences haltingly, substituting in a completely wrong word with the same first letter now and then, or just giving up on a sentence, and these are just the ones with English as a first language.

Test yourself: what did you do when you encountered the words casphetato brolganic alvolamina sooveg in this sentence? A fluent English reader will just read them; I made them plausible and decodable, not like zprxapsi mnoqlkzb which I pulled out of a random number generator and a fluent reader may well do a double take at.

As I said to the other guy - that configuration had to go somewhere, and for a single server it’s not going to be much. I don’t care if it’s 50 lines of bash, or chef, or yaml. I’d guess that the complexity of configuring find and your services is roughly equivalent to the k8s yaml on a simple setup.

It’s a sidestep of complexity IMO.
Well for my case, I have 0 trust in chatgpt ( or local LLM) to extract properly data from a PDF file, especially if it's over a few pages.
Absolutely not. This stuff happens in a lot of technology groups, custom ROM groups, even a small (but public) board game group got overrun with it once; multiple accounts posting dozens of CSAM videos/images in a minute after joining - kept going for a few weeks.
To ignore _all_ clinical studies because “nothing useful comes out of them” seems extreme. Yes, there are poorly run studies, and conclusions can be inappropriately drawn from studies (ex: when a study wasn’t meant to answer certain questions).

However, well-run randomized control trials (RCTs) in medicine absolutely exist and can be a very strong form of evidence when interpreted correctly. This is especially true in comparison to other disciplines (economics, etc.) where such RCT trials are impossible and researchers wish that they a research tool as valuable as an RCT.
