Competing very effectively in many cases.

I personally have not seen that workaholic employees get consistent preference in workplaces. Often they get shafted the hardest, particularly in highly competitive workplaces (where, for example, supervisors may undermine their best employees who might threaten their own ambitions).

And the hardest workers are also prone to burnout, which often leads to catastrophic career failures: quitting suddenly with no backup plan, changing careers, having a breakdown and ending up nonfunctional for months at a time.

I have worked in a variety of workplaces, some that were circling the toilet, some that were leading their industries and nonetheless still shooting higher, and some that thought/hoped they were the latter but just didn't have what it takes.

The most consistently successful companies I've worked for have their employees work like tortoises, not hares. They want us to work hard, but sustainably. They discourage all that hypercompetitive nonsense that rewards backstabbers over hard workers, and they encourage us to have a life outside of work to keep us sane. They do this not out of the kindness of their hearts, but because they are insatiably greedy and focused: they want our next 20+ years of productivity and experience.
The problem I have with articles like this is that if we were to substitute anything in for 'Rust', it would read the same. I imagine if they had re-written it in C it would also be better than before. If it was an advert for anything, it might be chucking away a dodgy prototype and starting again (which is surprisingly rare).

Anyhow, on the other side of the coin, it's good to see newer languages getting a proper outing in real world situations. Proving stuff is 'up to it' can be a bit of a long haul, so every data point is useful.

Millitext – generate subpixel images with a 2x5 pixel font
This is actually just another way to see the third example (concentration of measure). As you increase the number of dimensions, the contribution of each base vector component in the calculation of, say, the cosine angle (i.e. via the scalar product) becomes less important. So in three dimensions you'll have a pretty high angle if one vector component points along a different base vector. But in 10,000 dimensions, the angle will be tiny.
You're right that reads and writes are immediate in the same client connection, this is how it works with CF KV as well - but not across the entire network.

On KV they expect up to 30 second latency before a write can be written everywhere, I expect similar here.
Show HN: I made an AI data analyst tool which can connect to multiple sourced
Hey guys,

I’m a uni undergraduate pursuing my bachelors in data science and I’ve taken a keen interest in working with LLMs to generate data visualisations easily.

I’ve recently noticed that GPT doesn’t allow a lot of generations due to its rate limiting and to counter this I’ve made a tool which utilises GPT API(bit of an overkill tbh) to process prompts and provide an output (with option to modify those outputs as well)

I hope you guys like it and feel free to give me any advise or feedback about running this app.

It's exceptionally clear compared to e.g. window glass even in the visible spectrum of light. You can shine a red light source into a 10 kilometer standard G.657 fiber (optimized for 1310/1550nm, i.e. deep infrared) and it will still be visible just fine on the other end. If you did that with regular glass, it would hardly go ten meters.
"Does it kill the old or the young?"

We figured out very quickly, that mainly old people were at danger.

The lockdowns happened, when this was known for sure.

"If Covid were to wipe out 10% of the population, all the draconian measures make a lot more sense."

And no one even claimed back then, that a unhospitalised 10% death rate was expected.

In my understanding as a parent - the old in charge freaked out and locked everyone in, to protect mainly themself - yet the young generation suffered the most of it, despite not being at danger from the disease as well. So trying to prevent the collapse of the hospitals did made sense - but not the way it was done, at the expense of the younger generation.

Thanks for the thoughtful piece. It touched on some nuances of a topic I’ve been thinking about for some time.

I’ve stopped reading the news for a while now. There are times I only catch up on big news, weeks after they happen. The media tends to mix the important and the irrelevant, often adding sensationalism to stories that don’t really matter to you, and an unguarded mind can easily fall for it. If something major happens, it’ll reach you eventually. Everything else is mostly irrelevant and just a distraction. Worrying about things we can’t control is a waste of our attention.

While ideas are often exaggerated, actions are undervalued. Yet small, intentional actions are the key to mental well-being. Adding a simple 10-minute routine to a part of your day can naturally help structure the moments before and after that routine. I believe these small steps are essential for cultivating balance in one’s life.
I don't know where you live but in the Midwest US around medium-sized cities, it costs _significantly_ more to build vs buy unless you inherit or otherwise somehow luck into some cheap land.

Building involves a surprising number of large one-off costs: clearing the land, excavation, running utilities, digging a well, installing a septic field, getting permits and inspections, legal fees for contract review, etc. None of these are reflected in the market price of a middle class SFH. This is the main reason housing developments are so popular, the developer is able to amortize these startup costs over 30-50 houses all at once which is the only way they can build new houses that are price competitive with the rest of the market.

> nearly everybody has enough of their own special hobby/interests that they cannot live 95% in their neighborhood

Agreed. I did mistype what I was thinking though. Not 95% of destinations one might ever want, but my thought was 95% of trips. Nearly all my trips are routine, either to/from office (bikeable) or supermarkets (walkable), movies/library/restaurants/misc shops (all walkable), parks/sports (walkable), basic medical care (walkable).

I certainly have hobbies/needs I must to drive for, but those are fairly occasional trips. My thought is that if we as a society make it so that nearly all routine trips can be local (walk or bike) then the exception will be rare enough that we don't need more road capacity.

> or you have to deal with the added baggage of considering that each search costs you a very real half a cent or whatever.

And one way to "deal with" that is get used to it and forget about it unless you get some surprise hit (which can be avoided with a cap). But you'll have a warm glow feel that it's "fair"

It's not like this is some novel issue average people have never had exposure to (eg, utilities)
The complexity of CRLF?

The balance here, of course, being backwards compatability. I'd sooner kill EBCDIC, bad ASCII and Code Pages than worry about CRLF if we didn't have to care about ancient systems.

Programming languages still retain C's operator precedence hierarchy even though it was itself meant to be a backwards compatible compromise and leads to errors around logical operator expressions.

Anyways, this article is about actively breaking systems like some kind of protocol terrorist in order to achieve an outcome at any cost, if it was merely along the lines of "CRLF considered harmful in new protocols" I'd have nothing to say.
For many queries, it seems the top result is just Stackoverflow, Wikipedia or something simliar, then a couple of organic links, and then just junk. And on the second or third page, the results just stop. I have a feeling that at this point, it is a mixture of white- and blacklisting, and single-page classifiers based on heuristics or "AI". PageRank is surely in there, but probably not dominant. (Sidenote: I wonder if they secretly do ignore rel="nofollow" because so many links use it.)

Funnily, I've used PageRank for some smaller search projects, and it still works very well if you use it in a vertical, say "educational resources" or "programming" or simliar. I just did a broad crawl, 3-4 steps from some known "good" seed URLs away, calculate PageRank and mix it in with Solr's classifiers.
“You need better tooling” is inconsiderate of others. Sometimes you’re in a browser reading over a CR, or you’re sitting at someone else’s machine, or debugging an emergency via a smartphone.

Whatever the case, is it really that hard to use a two-letter loop counter? Try it sometime. When building at scale, it just makes sense to be considerate of diversity and do the little things to that make life easier for others.

Social media was originally all about connecting with people you know in real life. Nowadays some of them are about followers you don't always know, but one way or another you're repeatedly interacting with a select pool of people based on who they are.

Forums have been around longer than the WWW and are more about interacting with topics than with particular members. Some let you follow or PM someone, but that's not the primary function, and HN doesn't even have that. Some social sites have expanded to cover forum-like roles too, like Facebook (Pages).

But most people won't think that far. They'll see HN and say nah, this isn't social media.
Does anyone else struggle to wrap their head around a lot of this new cloud stuff?

I have 15+ years experience of building for the web, using Laravel / Postgres / Redis stack and I read posts like this and just think, "not for me".
They support “function” calling between DOs, so you are able to compose a response from more than one DO.
This question of "what tools / languages" should we use was introduced to me (during an interview, actually) as "technical strategy". There is more to the choice of language or tooling than whether it's fast or slow or reliable at one instant in time -- you have to ask how you will grow and maintain things going forward.

That said, obviously all languages were in that state at some point. Twenty-eight years ago you might have said the same thing about Java. Twenty-four years ago, Perl might have looked like a better choice than Python; now it's clearly the opposite. XenServer took a gamble and wrote their main control stack in OCaml in 2008; on the whole that has had some benefits, but the number of OCaml developers has not significantly grown, and it's not easy to hire people.

That said, I think Rust is much more likely to follow Java's trajectory than OCaml's: My prediction is that it's only going to be easier and easier to find Rust developers.
There is not such thing as "Jewish" DNA. Is a culture and religion, but not a fully different race. Some genes could be in the past more represented, but it was just "Mediterranean dotation". A mix of European, African and Asian. Today is much more mixed fortunately.

ICMP does not use ports, so it's not working as tcp or udp would.

Check whether the target host allows incoming tcp/udp connections.

Also, because of the IP range you posted: If you are using a VPN, the client could be misconfigured. It could be that the VPN client is e.g. exposing a local SOCKS or HTTP/HTTPS proxy that Chrome ignores.

It really depends on the problem to be solved (domain size, complexity of physical phenomena such as turbulence model, heat transfer, acoustics, multiphase flows, combustion, etc., number of time steps required...). In our case we perform for instance simulations of turbomachinery acoustics that can take 3-4 weeks running in a few hundreds of CPU cores, combustion acoustics simulations that can take a week or two running in 1k-2k cores...

The wider channels is the source of the available audio fidelity, but wider channels make you more exposed to noise, not less. A wider channel means listening to more noise sources, and having transmitter power stretched thinner for a much lower SNR.

In other words, the noise rejection of FM is what enabled the use of wider channels and therefore better audio quality. An analog answer before digital error correction.

In FM, the rejection is so strong that if you have two overlapping transmissions, you will only hear the stronger one assuming it is notably stronger. This in turn is why air traffic still use AM where you can hear both overlapping transmissions at once (possibly garbled if carrier wave was off), and react accordingly rather than being unaware that it happened.

Technology moved on from both plain AM and plain FM a long time ago, and modern “digital” modulation schemes have different approach to interference rejection.
Enabling new static optimization is a good, no?

And .de is schizophrenic, because a few years back there was a big kerfuffle about WHOIS data being public, as a result of which it is now hidden, however almost all German websites remain subject to mandatory imprint regulations. (The only true exceptions are things of limited public value, such as the log-in pages to password-protected stuff, or at most galleries of holiday snaps for family and friends, although ideally those should rather be password-protected, too. Anything else that's intended for the regular general public is at least in a grey area, even if it remains strictly non-commercial.)
Thank you. So just pretentious nonsense.

- Matrix's open protocol: https://matrix.org/

- The PHP Foundation: https://thephp.foundation/

- Open Source Initiative: https://opensource.org/

- And the list goes on: contributing and sponsoring many projects and developers that everyone using the web benefited from, including you and billions of people (not counting wordpress's impact)

Please educate yourself before spreading FUD about people who made great contributions constantly to the open web, the entire industry, and promoted open source on every chance they got.
I agree with some of this, and the author could've made a better case for from/to_chars:

- Afaik stoi and friends depend on the locale, so it's not hard to believe this introduced additional overhead. The implicit locale dependency is also often very surprising.

- std::stoi only accepts std::string as input, so you're forced to allocate a string to use it. std::from_chars does not.

- from/to_chars don't throw. As far as I know this won't affect performance if it doesn't happen, it does mean you can use these functions in environments where exceptions are disabled.

> We will always respect your privacy.

I don't trust "always" in tech, and take its usage as a negative signal -- if you have no problem promising something both of us know will have a 99.9% chance of being broken, I'll devalue other parts of the promise as well. (Incidentally that applies to basically any promise that involves "always", not just in tech.)

Wording aside, I don't think these privacy policies have teeth. If they violate it, at worst they'll lose some users and have a harder time acquiring new users who care about this stuff, which may not be a lot of users.

Therefore, I prefer not giving them easily correlated data in the first place. Sure, my VPN provider knows I'm going to google.com/bing.com/duckduckgo.com/etc., violate away, that's the necessary sacrifice of using the Internet without going full paranoid mode. Thanks to TLS they don't know the content.

Postgres’ inability to be wrapped in Java (ie SQLite can be run as a Java jar, but PG need to be installed separately, because it’s in C) gives it a major, major drawback for shipping. If you ship installable software to customers, you’ll either have to make it a Docker or publish many guidelines, let alone customers will claim they can only install Oracle and then you’ll have to support 4 DBs.

How have you found SQLite’s performance for large-scale deployments, like if you imagine using it for the backend of Jira or any webapp?

Let's say there are 500 parking spots. With free parking and a vibrant area, all spots are taken and there are N people circling around looking for parking. Not sure what N is but let's say 50 (seems reasonable).

If after the price increase there are 10% (50) parking spots open, that means at least a 100 people went elsewhere (20%). That's a pretty significant drop in business to the local stores.

And speculation aside, I've seen this happen in two downtowns I frequented. Parking meters were installed, people went elsewhere, the vibrant downtown died and was boarded up and abandoned. And it's not just a transfer of business to a different location, but a loss of cultural significance. Because the old downtown had artists and musicians who no longer have a place at the strip mall. The stores moved, but the culture was lost.
I think that the core of the issue isn't "big corporations" but rather the fact that the internet is more accessible than ever, which means that the ratio of users who want to create content for fun, to the users who want to just consume content or create it for monetary reasons, is completely different than years ago.
