Azure Functions are serverless to us, but for the team developing and deploying that feature they are not serverless.
Dokku provides a tool so that once you deploy projects they can be ‘serverless’.
No, because if you're not exploitative that would mean you're producing exactly as much money as you're paying out to your labor, or less. This is impossible in a capitalist system, because you go under.

It can be done and sometimes is, but we call that charity. I've seen some businesses that take 100% of their profit and just redistribute it to their employees. But they can never expand, only float, and the company exists on borrowed time.

The difference here is made up with capital - as in, we're told the myth that capital is the reason why businesses pay less for labor than it produces. Because they provide the capital.

In reality, capital can be democratically owned and capital is also not the cornerstone of our economy. People, labor, is.
She also talks about the first bug during this one as well as some general lore, history, lessons learned and brings up some good future problems - some of which got solved, some didn't. Def worth watching the whole thing.
Most tiling managers are in fact hybrid and allow floating windows. That is at least the case with sway and i3.
Practically, it's always running, as otherwise you'll get a cold start delay, but that's close enough. It doesn't mean there's no server, so the "lol how is it serverless if you have a server" meme is tiring.
On behalf of humanity I ask you to please stop interrupting us.

An internal file server used on your local net has nothing to do with WAN speeds though. If you have a residential account, most of those actually exclude running a server with external public access on those accounts, but many people are not aware of that specific fine print.
Yeah, that’s fair, and something you basically get for free.

Also, hi James! :)
we faced a problem of sharing various AI model subscriptions(like openAI, anthropic, gemini, etc., each costing $20/user/month) with our team of 10+ members, hence we decided to build a tool where we all can access 200+ AI models and collaborate on the AI tasks(like text and image generation, etc), it helps us save around 90% of our costs and saves a lot of time.
we shared this tool (flamingo.ai) with a few other teams and they love it and are willing to pay for it.

Are we on to something?!

Now we are really confused if we should go ahead and apply for Y combinator's fall'24 batch? help us decide!
Better yet, we can just copy Singapore or Vienna's public housing systems and actually have desirable public housing.

Arguably, the reason we don't already have this is because a large contingent of the voting public has been conditioned to believe that if the government does something well, it's communism, so the government should do anything well.

Mind Reader: Reconstructing complex images from brain activities
There are two sets of kryofluxed floppies on archive.org. the 800k image is 58Mb, and all four floppies have errors at 60~65%. All the data is extractable except for the bad regions so... It looks like they kryofluxed the disks to preserve what data they had left, but it's not a solution. It's a huge waste of space, can you imagine a box of disks all inflated to 73 times their size?

Apple got Sony to make cav drives, (MacIIx and SE HD to the 9600 )and when they raised the price, no floppy. Sneaker net was over until USB drives became cheap.

One disk on archive that is unrecoverable is Adobe Type Manager. The areas where the fonts are is corrupted, but the data is available elsewhere, but the program isn't.

Now it sits in the cloud ( someone else's hard disk ) in a corrupted state. Wish I had an SE 30 to restore the disk, and put it's compressed image up as a replacement.
>Do you live in Canada?

I'm guessing they don't. As a US person we hear a lot of, presumably insurance company sponsored, anti-Canadian-healthcare propaganda and then dumb people repeat it online.
You correctly identify a problem then suggest a complicated technical solution. The simple solution is to make these practices illegal by passing laws.
I do keep Outlook and Teams open basically all the time, and full-screened, yes. Here I can only counsel that having multiple smaller monitors was a wiser investment dollar per dollar than one big monitor.
US Tax law is the only place where I can think of that the spirit is the most important part of the law. There isn't much of a hard and fast definition of a home based business, but if the vibe is "this is a hobby and I'm using the business only to claim deductions, not turn a profit someday" you can be in violation.
XMonad mafia represent! :)

My config is koff more involved. I did a lateral from CTWM into XMonad quite a few years ago, so many of my keystrokes bring associated workspaces to their default locations.

I've got 44 workspaces, and 6 displays, many of them loosely grouped into "document" pairs for working on different projects, and "monitoring" pairs for different focuses of _looking at_ different things. The monitoring pairs are much less intensively used.
You shouldn't because you clearly don't understand it.

If good/faster fiber is easily available to everyone, this also includes people or organizations who need it and benefit from it.

Also just because you coulduse it, doesn't mean you need to but fiber as a technology is a lot better than copper which is the main reason why we had slow internet for ages.

Fiber has a lot less issues with powerlines (basically none). Its a lot faster, you can have a lot longer lines without performance degredation like dsl or vdsl.

And if these people actually need to upgrade, they can just buy a new Wifi router or use a cable. But with a slow copper line, they don't have any option.
It's not just a scale thing though. It also matters how problematic a collision will be.

But yes, if you're just using them as primary keys in a database you're probably fine with auto increment for most use cases.
Because provisioning/configuring/monitoring/scanning/patching/grooming servers sucks.. and people are lazy.
Don't worry, this happens everywhere that caves to free market ideologies. In the UK local government (tax payers) get ripped off exactly the same for social care. Private equity firms know the local government has a legal duty to provide care for the elderly and those with chronic conditions. So they can charge whatever they want.

Obviously the global investors have no problem morally with this, they are more than arms reach away. It's an executive in one of the companies they own that takes the heat for a couple of weeks, and then it goes away (and the executive gets their bonus for being the face of immorality).

If anyone wonders why public services are crippled, this is the main reason.
What about all the times it went well and therefore never gets brought up in these conversations? Like eradicating cave lions in Europe.
I’m pretty sure multiple apps is on their public roadmap, I’m sure I read it somewhere.
Don't waste your employer's time.

The morally correct choice is to just not pay.

I created it for managing my homelab, it works great and it is a thin layer over docker compose
Africa will soon emerge as an important market as well, particularly Nigeria. Japan and Korea are, as you said, not only stagnating but deflating (in the case of Japan). I believe GDP actually declined in Europe recently so I think Europe will shrink as a market in the coming decades unless they can fix demographic pressures and improve entrepreneurship. The US faces similar demographic problems but we have unique solutions to those problems that means that GDP growth is stronger in the US than virtually anywhere else in the world. India is a more mature "growing economy", and at this point I think the whole world is aware of the opportunities there. As you pointed out, Malaysia and the Philippines are growing, and so are other SE asian countries like Viet Nam and Thailand (though Thailand has struggled to grow since the pandemic, it's shown good growth since 2000).

Africa is the untapped market right now; Nigeria is expected to exceed 400mil (if not 500-700mil) people by 2050. I don't know as much about their economy, so I'm not sure if this growth has translated into the kind of infrastructure which would create more demand for computing services (i.e: I don't know what smartphone or 5G penetration is like there), but I would bet that if it's not ripe yet, it will be soon

Europe needs to solve its demographic pressures by either accepting more non-EU immigrants or doing something to encourage women to have more children, which would require solving for the opportunity cost (i.e: career stagnating or ending) that women bear 90+% of the time they have children, as well as the FOMO issues (which I don't think government can solve)
You can still solve for that just fine in a multi-Dokku setup. It's just that Dokku won't do the coordination for you. Sometimes you do want something more integrated like k8s/openshift/nomad instead; sometimes not.

Why was it worse for the restaurants than the alternative?

Why was the rent increased, by how much, and by who?? What was the difference between the payments and how much did it diff from market over time or at whatever time you're talking about.

I'm an LP in GGC so I have lots of thoughts, happy to hear yours in detail!
No, you're right
Thanks for the tip! The book describes the approach that helps prevent my mistakes, and in each "step," I add several warnings and information sections about what to do and what not. I will try to think of how to add a better demo.
Xmonad integrates nicely with xfce and MATE, at least. Probably KDE as well.
I agree, it can be done with a makefile, just except the dependency based runner, if you have module A depending on B, you want to test A and B, this is what a tool like bazel would solve, as well as monogo.

They make it work by banning certain spells/heroes and reducing the game to a single "aspect" if you will - when and how you do the break. It's completely different.

This is important, right here; healthy boundaries. The best time to set them up is right at the start, too. I've had 3 employers that privided me with a phone and laptop because the jobs involved travel, but I made very clear that work hours are work hours, so when I am off the clock, so are those devices. The respected that each time because the expectations were negotiated upfront, instead of waiting for one party to get ticked off and trying to pivot from that.
I agree; in my state, the universities are not required to have open source textbooks, but if they do use them, they are required to mark them in course catalogs so that students can pick them. I have yet to see this in practice though
great work. maybe add a filter for contract/fulltime as well if it is not too much to ask.
Ask HN: Where to incorporate with free speech protection?
In the light of recent news on founder of Telegram or situation in the UK, among other things, I am wondering if there is a jurisdiction where one can safely incorporate a business that provides platform for people to post content and where one does not have to be concerned with government attacking their free speech or be a vassal of foreign jurisdiction, punishing their own companies and citizens?

Is there such a country or did we lost freedom of expression a long time ago?
That's definitely an issue, even if constructive evictions can be prevented, landlords would also have to be forced to renew leases (at limited rent increases).
True, but they are so much complex (and much more powerful). This is more an equivalent to turborepo, minimal config and integrate directly with the language.
There is also rather new decent competitor for Sway: https://hyprland.org/
But a higher overall GDP (per-capita aside) than even Norway right? We're already spending more than any other country on the planet on healthcare.

Look at the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_hea...

The US is spending 50% more per-capita than Norway already and we are worse off. This doesn't include private insurance money which is insane amounts already.
But Gaia-X is not the article's main focus, is it? I think it is about Schwarz Digits, which is a daughter company of Lidl.
When I write a side project I'm not doing it because I enjoy coding, I'm doing it because I enjoy problem solving, and I've thought of a potential problem that I could solve with code, and I want to prototype that idea. I'm not that fussed about elegance; ideally, I want to prototype that idea as quickly as possibly so I can see if its valid or not, so I'd much rather use any tool I can to get me there as quickly as possible.
In a free market, yes. But not when the demand is so artificially constrained. Rents go up and people are forced to either pay a higher percentage of their income to rent, or move farther away.

Housing is not a free market by any stretch of the imagination, so if you just move one lever you don't always get the response you would in a true free market.
People who aren't familiar with (their) physiology think its all about muscle mass, when opposite is true. Muscles are by far easiest to build, but then you have whole world of various connective tissues in various joints (tendons, ligaments, fascias etc) that can make or break any competitive sportsman way before muscles come into play.

The problem with all this connective tissue is - training it takes much longer than building muscles or increasing cardio capacity. For 70 year old, that is easily a decade+ of careful preparation / training to get to such level from 0 (which seems wasn't the case for him).

Also, there are 2 basic body types when it comes to flexibility - either flexible people (like me), or rather rigid ones. Us flexible can do ie yoga stuff that takes a decade for more rigid folks to achieve. Drawback is, our joints, when under load, tends to move farther and experience connective tissue issues way more. If you don't respect which type you are, you don't utilize your (remaining) potential.

And so on, this can be discussed for a very long time, our bodies are unique and fascinating on so many levels. They are also very stupid and completely not built for our modern lifestyles. Ie I broke both of my feet in paragliding accident recently, so wheelchair-bound for a while. It takes only 2-3 weeks of not walking and your feet become completely unusable, you lose basic bending capabilities. I guess this comes from more animal times when broken leg meant almost always death sentence.
Why not experiment with fundamentally changed user experiences? The WIMP paradigm goes back to the 1980s and much of it is rotting away, getting less and less well matched to the modern world yet without being rethought.

Random examples of eminently fixable HCI issues that bother me every day:

1. The clipboard is invisible, historyless and lost on reboot unless you install third party utilities. Yet clipboard operations are a key part of any professional user's day.

2. The Downloads folder is basically an indirect cache for remote URLs because apps can't open them directly, but I have to manually manage it by cleaning things out every so often. Also, if I open the same link twice it'll just download the same file twice which is all wrong.

Possible fix: the OS should have a kind of "belt" of recently used "things", whether those are objects copied from apps, files accessed over HTTP or apps. They should persist across reboots. The OS should act as if these don't use any disk space even though they do, and delete old items automatically as the disk fills up.

3. Window management can be upgraded significantly. Multi-screen is sort of hacked on, the way Cmd-Tab works for instance when >1 screen gets involved is quite unintuitive. People need layouts that they can switch instantly without animation delays, and the only way macOS offers to do that is by using Cmd-Tab. Safari gets this right: switching and closing tabs is instant, why can't the WM work do that?

4. Browsers are barely integrated and so the UI is very confusing. My wife sometimes accidentally saves PDFs of Google Sheets because that's what happens if you click File > Save in Safari. Why are there two menu bars and what's the difference, eh, life is short and computer history is long. Don't worry honey, I'll do it. Also see: starting Zoom meetings from iCalendar (opens a web page which opens an app).

Possible fix: Any action triggered by the keyboard should not animate (or only does it once or twice to teach the user what's happening and then stop). Make Safari/browser the default desktop experience, allowing apps to launch into tabs with a better/more keyboard-able splitting implementation. Get rid of the default keyboard shortcuts for things like save/print in Safari (do you really need keyboard shortcuts for such rare operations), and let web apps take that over. If the web app doesn't, try to auto-wire them to web app UI using Apple Intelligence or DOM matching heuristics.

And so on. This is like a fraction of what could be fixed.

Those are small things. Competing harder with Windows would not just involve innovation, it'd also involve stuff that doesn't come naturally to Apple e.g. maybe a UI mode that's more like Windows to make switchers more comfortable, or Macs that are sold with Office out of the box, or integrated support for running some apps using Wine or built in support for Parallels-style Coherence virtualization.
Sometimes the slighly more complicated (Dokku is still a very thing bash wrapper around running git, ssh and docker commands) is simpler just because they have a great documentation and other people using it.
It's less a belief that the government shouldn't do anything well, and more a belief that it can't.
You can do tabbed windows in XMonad.
I used to think this way, but having used popOs's tiling in gnome I gotta say it's the best of all worlds. I really like being able to have code split with documentation or an ebook. I know you can technically use the manual split L/R but having it autosplit is nice. I feel like it really supercharges my research workflow.

If I don't want something to split, I can either turn off tiling and revert back to default gnome behavior (rare), add an exclusion for something I never want tiled, or most often I just send that app to a new virtual desktop.
I love dokku! I've been running my SAAS seamlessly with it for 5+ years now. It's awesome to see it actively maintained.
I partially agree with you- nothing is better than working on "your own" mistakes, but some mistakes often repeat in software architecture. Why not take advantage and not repeat them by learning from others' mistakes? :)
The problem with this, and we see this in the US already with medical providers, is that even if they are 'native' speakers in their own country, they miss a lot of important nuance and conversational skills to work with US native patients. And that's before you even consider the cultural stuff that they just don't have a frame of reference to understand. Someone from a country where women don't have rights, or where normal things like divorce or abortion are illegal, isn't going to be able to offer useful therapy to someone from the US.
Apple survived and grew originally by catering to pro designer types. They still have significant business from professional users on the Mac side, whether those are artists or developers. This is despite not really trying hard for a long time. They could easily grow their market share there.
Same experience with XMonad here. With modern responsive web UIs, I rarely find issue with resizing getting in my way.

When I do, I either keep the fullscreen browser on a dedicated desktop or nudge the split point until I'm happy.
If you lose your Bitwarden master password you've lost your data. It passes the mud puddle test.
Dokku is great, but historically it didn't really handle resilience. It looks like there's now a K3s scheduler (added earlier this year) which would mean I could have use a Kubernetes operator for a replicated database as well as have the app running on multiple boxes (in case one fails). It looks like it'll even setup K3s for you. The docs don't seem to go into it, but hopefully the ingress can also be setup on multiple boxes (I wonder if it uses a NodePort or the host network).

I was sad when Flynn died (https://github.com/flynn/flynn), but it's great to see Dokku doing well.
I think that article buries the most interesting part! It's true that "bug" in that sense dates back to the 19th century, but before that, it didn't necessarily mean "insect" - it could mean something like "malevolent spirit", as in Hamlet's "bugs and goblins".

I wrote a little more about this: https://jkaptur.com/bugs/
How common is dropping a feature because of A/B testing results?

I feel like it should have a lower priority on such business decisions. My guess is that calculator removal was approved before A/B testing have started.
I would say in this instance you don't trust the junior. In fact in corporations, I would say there's very little trust.

We used to trust people to just do what they think is best. But then we get bribery, harassment, lawsuits... we don't do that anymore.

In my opinion, not having trust is not a bad thing. It has a poor connotation so the result is that we modify the meaning of trust so we can say everyone trusts everything.

For example, one thing I trust is Nutrition Facts. I trust that what I'm eating actually contains what it says it contains. I don't verify it. Why? Because I know someone, somewhere is looking out for this. The FDA does not trust the food industry, so sometimes they audit.

There's many, very good, things I don't trust. I don't trust the blind spot indicator in my car. I turn my head every time. Does that mean the technology is bad? No, in my opinion, but I still don't trust it.
