But 28 years ago with Java, it had a clear edge in a certain space. It came with a ton of libraries, so you didn't have to write a bunch of code. And it had garbage collection, so a bunch of problems just went away. For code that didn't have to be close to the metal, it was clearly superior. And it was pretty easy to learn for C++ developers.

Rust may have an advantage in certain places (no segfaults is a definite win). But replacing working Python scripts is almost certainly not that place. Also, for a C++ developer, Rust isn't as easy to learn as Java.

Rust may get there. But don't use Java's success to predict Rust's trajectory.
Just as the author suggests observing the mind's patterns without judgment, we often begin debugging by simply watching the system's behavior, setting breakpoints, and logging outputs. This initial observation phase is crucial for understanding the underlying architecture before making any changes.
Wow, this is fantastic! This exact use case, on Linux, is why our company selected Zoom instead of Meet.

Awesome!
Officially its a platform for testing various technologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-37#Speculation_regard...
As someone that develops native Kubernetes platforms: Providing the raw resources / manifests is almost the worst way of providing a user install.
That works great as long as you never have a breaking change in your manifests or any kind of more complex upgrade.

Which brings me back to the initial question: Is this complexity and the external dependencies really needed?
For a decently decomposed, highly scalable microservice architecture, maybe.
For an Open Source (likely) single tenant management platform? Unlikely.

It highlights the problem of clashing requirements of different target user groups.
Spain was always a confederacy of tribes! Even today!

The very concert of fueros formalizes this starting 1000 years ago. Those fueros still constitute the basis of the Spanish Constitution today (i.e. autonomous regions).

That the Spanish central state never felt the need to genocide Spain's constituent tribes like Paris did in France should be considered a good thing! Most Euskera speakers are on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees!

EDIT: the Asturians, from whom the seed of the reconquista came from, are ethnic celts and play a local variation of bag pipes.
There are so many websites downloading entire web frameworks, tens of megabytes, to display static web pages. Maybe a contact form, or a twitter embed or something. I absolutely loathe it and if these sorts of tools even slightly move the needle towards bringing back standard HTML sites, I'm so incredibly for them.

The web is so flat and dull now.
Where did it glow yellow? What time in the video?

The booster doesn’t travel fast enough to need heat shielding ever.

It makes zero sense to use heat shielding behind the engine bells. Why? Think about it. If the booster renters the atmosphere engine bells first the engine bells would burn up BEFORE the air even touches the heat shield. If there are actually tiles there it’s just there to protect the booster from the heat of the exhaust.

> However, Raptor 3 is supposed to obviate the need for this shielding.

Not completely getting this. So there’s a case for the booster entering the atmosphere at orbital velocity engine bells first? I would think if they did this then THEY want the booster to burn up. Anything entering the atmosphere at that velocity needs to be made aerodynamically stable as it will be traveling faster then the speed of sound. This is what causes the heat. If you send something at the speed of sound engine bells first that’s not stable and is unlikely they will do that at all, with or without heat shielding.

I don’t think parent knows what he’s talking about.
We want new experiences, even if right now they are expensive.
And then again he may not have been Spanish and Jewish.
So yes, it "causes reduced eating". That's a hell of a crazy thing though.

Someone joked on twitter that you can save a lot of money if you just eat the same amount of food that you would eat if you were on ozempic, because you'd see the same weight loss.

My only point is that it is not absurd to think that just as ozempic causes you to eat less, it is not ridiculous to speculate that other agents that can cause you to eat more.
I have clinical OCD. The actual version not the thing people joke about. I will say because of that I am an expert on living in the moment. Why? Because when it flares up the compulsions result in a battle with attention on your thoughts second by second and wishing to be focused intently on something else so that level of attention has no space to enter. Might sound fun for a vacation but not a place to live. That’s why I’m a software engineer because I can get lost in something and reacquaint my mind with a baseline of attention to attention.

If you want to truly slow time down and live in the moment exercise incredibly hard. Something like a grueling CrossFit workout can make it feel like ten minutes never took so long. Time slows down when each second is exhausting mental and physical anguish to keep your legs pedaling on an assault bike. I love it!
We (Cloudflare) have considered adding an API to create multiple "database connections", especially to be able to stream a response from a long-running cursor while representing a consistent snapshot of the data.

It's a bit tricky since if you hold open that old connection, the WAL could grow without bound and cannot be checkpointed back into the main database. What do we do when the WAL gets unreasonably large (e.g. bigger than the database)? Cancel old cursors so we can finally checkpoint? Will that be annoying for app developers to deal with, e.g. causing errors when traffic is high?

SQLite itself calls an open database a "connection" even though there's no actual network involved.
I wonder if it is used to detect nuclear bombs in orbit? That would explain the level of secrecy.
As always, I feel like visualizations/"maps" like these always tell us more about the author's biases than it does explaining whatever musical categorization they wanted to explain.

(Speaking as an Indian engineer)

Hate to generalize, but this has less to do with "Indian style" but rather adding a lot of fluff to make a problem appear more complex than it is, OR maybe someone set a template that you must write such and such sections, despite there not being relevant content. [ Half the sections from this article could be cut without losing anything ]

In this case, the _former_ really shouldn't have been the case. I for one would love to read a whole lot more about rollback planning, traffic shifting, which query patterns saw most improvements, hardware cost optimizations, if any, etc.
From the description of Thrash Metal:

And Christian Spain hass run longer than the Caliphate.
Except that color isn’t the same thing as wavelength when it comes to humans perceiving light, because our eyes only deal with the total energy within each of three overlapping bands. An FM receiver knows the difference between a single carrier varying in frequency, and two carriers of different frequencies varying in proportion. Our eyes don’t, hence the banner above appearing orange, even though it’s actually made of different proportions of red and green.
And this whole exercise is an example of why this is a non-starter proposal (at least the "change existing implementations" part).

How much do we expect the domain owners to invest in changing an implementation that already works? Hint: it's a number smaller than epsilon.

Google might, but their volume is so high they care about the cost of individual bytes on the wire.
I think Wikipedia does mention "It can also occur when someone does not eat for several days at a time usually beginning after 4–5 days with no food."

Ask HN: How Did React change the front end world?
I always hear about how React changed the game and subsequently established itself as the dominant frontend framework/library.

My question is simple. AngularJS was released in 2010, about three years before the initial release of React in 2013.

What did React do that changed the game on a way Angular didn't? How did it establish itself in the frontend world in a way Angular couldn't despite Angular being released first?
> Anecdotally, I know of multiple business that were built up by one person, and then practically gifted to the employees.

And when was that? Because that's how it used to be, a business would go to the children or a child of the owner, or go to the employees. But that trend has changed and that's why we're reading this article. More small/medium business owners send their kids to study for different careers, and the relationship between owners and employees aren't the same as they might have been in the past. The owner generally feel a lot of resentment towards his employees because they are mere workers and not as successful as him, and partly because their salaries are an expense that he doesn't feel it is fair that he has to pay. The current generation of old people are quite different from previous.
reat investigation! This highlights a crucial aspect of Node.js's asynchronous nature when dealing with pipes. It's a reminder that we should always be mindful of how Node handles I/O operations differently based on the output destination.

The key takeaway is the behavior difference between synchronous (files/TTYs) and asynchronous (pipes) writes in Node.js. This explains why `process.exit()` can lead to truncated output when piping.

For those facing similar issues, remember to handle the `drain` event or use a more robust streaming approach to ensure all data is written before exiting. This post is a valuable resource for debugging similar "mysterious" pipe behavior in Node.js applications.
Boring Tech Is Stifling Improvement
How does it make sense for there to be ‘splits’ on a regional basis?

By definition, there cannot be any effective barriers between any part of ‘open source’ and any other part, assuming they are not made under mutually contradictory licenses.

So there cannot possibly be any differences lasting much longer than the time it takes to review the relevant codebase.
I've tried to do this myself before, I think I even replaced a flush myself once. What I learned in the process was that if I only have to do this every 5yrs or whatever and I don't have the tools or knowledge to do it myself, working out how to do it is far more expensive than just paying a guy to do it. I think the last time it cost about 50 pounds (UK).

If you know the exact mechanism, you will find someone on Youtube giving a demo that you may be able to follow. However I often find there is some key difference you won't have thought of or don't have the tool to deal with. Hence I don't think robots will be replacing good plumbers any time soon.

A 25 year old car is still several orders of magnitude more complex than a house.

Any man can build a house for himself and his family if he sets his mind to it.

Almost no man can build an even semi-modern car. They depend on huge supply chains and thousands of specialized workers.

The house is artificially made more expensive than the car, as a vehicle for inflationary money making.
>> Did we build this so we can nuke anybody on the planet at any time?

This was actually a concern with the space shuttle! I suppose it could be a concern for any spacecraft that can carry a payload into orbit.

I’m not sure what value there’d be in dropping one or two nukes on an enemy. Any nuclear capable power would not be disabled by a few nukes going off, they’d know who dropped they nukes, and they could retaliate. If we had 10K nukes in orbit and could synchronize them to blanket a country & disable its nuclear response capability, maybe that would be worth something if the other side didn’t also fill space with nukes (which they would).

Nelson Mandela Rules
Where are you getting 1.41x? What you'd really like to increase is the SNR. As you open up the bandwidth, the amount of energy you can collect in your band increases, but there's no way to collect the energy from only the signal and not collect the energy from noise. So as you increase your bandwidth, your SNR stays the same.

Not all noise is gaussian. And the fact that the noise is random while the signal is not, is useful when you can average and drop your noise floor. But you need multiple measurements to do that.

Scale of Chinese Spying Overwhelms Western Governments
The analogy isn't wrong, it's just that it is incomplete as given. You are bringing the sensitivity of the receiver into the equation. But it doesn't really break down the analogy, because the frequency shift in color is calibrated for the human eye's sensitivity. Calibrate it for a FM receiver and that tiny color shift becomes easily discernible. The tree leaves have no impact on frequency, just amplitude.

The reason the analogy is good is because it isn't even really an analogy, it is in fact a description of electromagnetic waves and a noise source.

If your partner gets woken by a watch vibration actuator, I doubt it's possible for you to sneak out of bed without waking them, as your body weighs about 10,000 times as much as that actuator.
It is not literally the same. The colors you perceive on the screen in front of you demonstrate why. That banner above is not orange; it’s red and green. You don’t actually have the ability to distinguish a varying frequency between red-orange and yellow-orange, and two amplitude modulated “carriers” at red and green.

That’s the hallmark of an analogy. It gives the general idea, but breaks down if we interrogate it in too much detail.
Blame beg bounty hunters for this
Everything new is initially very expensive. However nothing prevents people from taking these movies and downscaling them for the Quest 3 lenses so you can watch it on a cheaper hardware. Current 8k 180 or 360 content for the Quest is really bad quality. While the Quest displays are lower quality (and I think the Snapdragon is also more limited than the Vision), downscaled content should still be far better than the movies we have right now.
Sam Harris makes the point that this, our actual observable experience, is the strongest argument against free will.
Actually, we've eliminated a massive amount of the complexity of backend development. This is most pronounced at large scale, but it's true at small scale as well.

Our Twitter-scale Mastodon example is literally 100x less code than Twitter wrote to build the equivalent (just the consumer product), and it's 40% less code than the official Mastodon implementation (which isn't scalable). We're seeing similar code reduction from private beta users who have rewritten their applications on top of Rama.

Line of code is a flawed metric of course, but when it's reducing by such large amounts that says something. Being able to use the optimal data model for every one of your use cases, use your domain data directly, express fault-tolerant distributed computation with ease, and not have to engineer custom deployment routines has a massive effect on reducing complexity and code.

Here's a post I wrote expanding on the fundamental complexities we eliminate from databases: https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2024/01/09/everything-wrong-w...
So the things you mention aren't useful for getting consistent numerical results. You really have to start getting into obscure platforms like mainframes to find stuff where float and double aren't IEEE 754 single and double precision, respectively. FLT_EVAL_METHOD is largely only relevant if you're working on 32-bit x86 code, and even then, you can sidestep those problems if you're willing to require that hardware be newer than 20 years old or so.

The actual thing you need to do for consistency is to be extremely vigilant in the command line options you use, and also bring your own math library implementations rather than using the standard library. You also need vigilance in your dependencies, for somebody deciding to enable denormal flushing screws everybody in the same process.
Show HN: Agora – An Organized, Social, Decentralized Experience for the Web
While I do find LLMs useful for some tasks, I have been concerned about how centralized the web will be in a world after this hype cycle. Google learned that the best way to print money is to be the one place that everyone goes to before they go somewhere else on the web. Now these companies want to ingest everything on the web so people don't have to leave their sites; being the few points where all content goes to and comes from (this makes for a terrible spider web).

Web development has become more accessible and easier for everyone, but it feels like the number of sites people are going to are only decreasing (social media sites, Google, ChatGPT, a few major publications). Especially after distrust with almost every social platform there is out there today who are all converging towards the same type of platform (short-form videos), I think it is important to create a new text-based space on the web that will allow people to find others' creations that they'd find interesting and have discourse on them.

I created Agora as a side passion project with this sentiment in mind. Especially since I have been struggling to find places I could go to learn from what others are discovering on the web (past and present) without getting distracted with addicting videos and random content.

I'd appreciate any feedback you may have. HN is a place I go to to find cool things regarding tech/dev but I built Agora to be a space for all types of interesting content. So if you have family/friends who don't have a place like HN on the web, it'd be great to send it to them as well.
