The reason it's like this (and I agree it sucks) is that this kind of software is quite complex to develop and the likely userbase is very small. If you're a hobbyist or even a professional engineer and your goal is to make a specific thing to accomplish a task, rather than use a specific technology, well over 99% of the projects you can think of doing will be much better served by a commodity microprocessor than an FPGA. And cheap MCUs are getting faster every day, so certain things that might have needed an FPGA in the past can make do with programmable microcontroller I/O and maybe an affordable DSP chip today.
I think most (but not all) such things actually did work, and were based on real evidence, we just don’t have easy access to that evidence and context anymore. It is quite likely that modern people are just arrogantly dismissing something they don’t understand.
This is great, thanks!

Do you mean an explainer for ZK proofs? I found this primer by Matthew Green very helpful in understanding the basics: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/11/27/zero-kno...
> virtually limitless resources so the staff can strive to make art with love and without the corruption of chasing a bottom line.

which means they have no obligation to ship. And so it is with the valve-time, they never shipped.

Some pressure (monetary usually) is required. Not to mention that "strive to make art" is not a commercially viable objective - the owners of steam will basically be operating a charity for these artists.
> ut my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically.

I always assumed youtube was top dog for performance and stability. I can’t remember the last time I had issues with them and don’t they handle basically more traffic than any other video service?
I have Netflix purchased legally with hard earned money. But because I had issues I looked for illegal streams, and they were bad, crashes, buffering.. you name it. So I went back to Netflix and watched it at 140p quality.
>For the required sync meetings, make sure there is a rock solid ...

What about a rock band instead?
Illegal options would have lot less active users. So it is not a fair comparison

Ask HN: Building Payroll System Without Gusto or ADP?
For example, if our company wants to build payroll processing on our own without using any third party tool like ADP or Quickbooks or Gusto or Paychex by connecting directly to US IRS, and each of US state systems and do it ourselves.

What APIs, providers and Open source systems - we can use.
They can definitely be distinct languages as is the case with protactile. For the deaf-blind people I've met, ASL is their first language and protactile is more of a second. Maybe it's different in other areas of the world.

What I've noticed is that in deaf-blind contexts plain ASL is terrible for back-channeling information... is the listener paying attention? Agreeing? Disagreeing? Laughing? Protactile communicates these back to the signer using touch, and not touching is considered rude.
After a few buffering timeouts during the first match, the rest of the event had no technical difficulties (in SoCal, so close to one of Netflix's HQs).

Unfortunately, except for the women's match, the fights were pretty lame...4 of the 6 male boxers were out of shape. Paul and Tyson were struggling to stay awake and if you were to tell me that Paul was just as old as Tyson I would have believed it.
When we lived in Asia our youngest daughter was diagnosed with rhinitis. When we moved back to the US it magically vanished. So there's that.
The thing with the air quality is that others can measure it too, or even see from the space.

Yeah was hoping for something I could self-host, both for privacy and cost.
AdWords for APIs?
On X.com someone had a stream that was stable to at least 5 million simultaneous viewers, but then (as I expected) someone at Netflix got them to pull the plug on it. So I would expect this fight to have say, 50 million + watching? Maybe as many as 150-250 million worldwide, given this is Tyson's last fight.
This failed because it doesn't do math: int *x[10/2]
Sounds like he got a better deal. If this is how you describe your team, I suspect they are all submitting their resumes hoping to get away from you.
I redacted my personal information from my loan estimate and your system couldn't process it. I don't see why you need that information to pull the closing cost numbers?
> Hardening libc++ resulted in an average 0.30% performance impact

Maybe what really happened is that compiler technology has improved such that they are able to remove most redundant checks, such that it only costs 0.30% today. I can imagine things going the opposite direction 20 years ago, as in "we removed some bounds checks and gained X% of performance".
Good post! Seems like helicone excels at every feature. Surprise, surprise, helicone published this.

Chris Rock comedy special, and the Tom Brady roast. Nothing on this scale, though.
Certainly a clever way to test it. In terms of response, I meant that at least on a fully black background, you should see ghost lines of text between where the line of text was and where it's going, almost like a mouse cursor with a trail
Shouldn’t be an issue under macOS for the most part, which has used grayscale antialiasing for several years since subpixel AA isn’t of much benefit with HiDPI displays and complicates text rendering considerably.

If there are any problems, it’ll probably be with cross platform software that doesn't use native text rendering and assumes RGB subpixel arrangements instead of obeying the system.
They have the NFL next month on Christmas day. So that'll be a big streaming session but I think it'll be nothing compared to this. Even Twitter was having problems handling the live pirate streams there.
Tyson vs. Paul: Netflix suffers significant issues on fight night
I think Apple doesn’t communicate it because it makes some of the laptops with „the same” spec better and some worse.

I remember that was the case
with ssds some time ago - some of the macbooks had a better one, some had a slightly worse one.
Your historical recollection is incorrect. Thoreau was a strong proponent of limited government and it's utility. What he was against was tyrannical overreach and abuse of power, such as, for example, a gov't investigating who lied in a spat between coworkers.

You’re tired, but I don’t know if I have enough brains to rewrite the API “query” from this article using brainless loops.
It means, it is different if the service goes down to 100, 50, 10 percent of users. I watched the show with no issues.
> Our engineers are fucking morons.

I interviewed at Netflix a few years ago; with several of their engineers. One thing I cannot say is that they are morons.

their interview process is top notch too and while I was ultimately rejected, I used their format as the base template for how I started hiring at my company.
I may have been misremembering Lemmy instead.

> You can redirect your old profile to the new one

Is that true even when the reason for the change is because the instance operator wants to silence you? If you can't put up a metaphorical "Go Here Instead" sign, could they also stop you from "proving" that your new home is legitimate and that you're the same author as before?
15+ years of mac user here, just swapped to a Lenovo X1 Gen12 running Ubuntu and it's so smooth.
they also butchered their entire dev kit rollouts and didn't launch with any sort of (promised) Linux support, I'm pretty sure time wise macran had Linux booting on M1s faster than Qualcom got any sort of Linux movement going on their own hardware.

There’s no longer any room for error. Because, like the newly minted spouses of Love Is Blind, a streaming service can never stop working to justify its subscribers’ love. Now, Netflix has a lot of broken trust to rebuild.
Bringing receipts. Well done. Hope they learn something.

Is this a social-media parody project?
Comments on forums do not provide that data. And if you want to extrapolate self-reports, it's obviously fine (to varying degrees) for the vast majority of people, but that's not the "issue."

These kind of reports are the equivalent of saying "I have power" when you're hundreds of miles away from where a hurricane landed. It's uninteresting, it's likely you have power, and it does literally nothing for people that do not have power.

It doesn't advance the topic anywhere. There are other places to report these issues directly and in aggregate with other people -- HN (and many other forums) are not that place.
Bankruptcy is a part of law for a reason. They can choose to restructure or to sell off. This is healthy turnover.

And how you are disadvantaged by two robot vacuum cleaner manufacturers not merging? Would you feel differently if you worked for one of them?

You've cherry picked two examples. This is mud slinging and not genuine analysis.
I think what you're noticing is that a simple left/right along a line is a poor way to express someone's political views.

I suspect that because a huge portion of the HN crowd are educated IT workers / would-be founders, overall there's both a strong support for capitalism mixed with progressive social views. That doesn't really connect well with the political landscape in most of the western world and typically gets you labeled a centrist, regardless of how important those particular issues are to you.
> reviewing the code is a breeze

I have the opposite opinion. In a previous codebase I fought hard to use dataclasses & type hinting where possible over dictionaries, because with dictionaries you'd never know what type anything was, or what keys were present. That worked nicely and it was much easier to understand the codebase.

Now I've been put on a Pandas project and it's full of mysterious

df = df[df["thing"] == "value"]

I just feel like we've gone back to the unreadability of dictionaries.

Everything's just called "df", you never know what type anything is without going in and checking, the structure of the frames is completely opaque, they change the structure of the dataframe halfway through the program. Type hinting these things is much harder than TypedDict/dataclass, at least doing it correctly & unambiguously is. It's practically a requirement to shove this stuff in a debugger/REPL because you'd have no chance otherwise.

Sure, the argument is that I'm just in a bad Pandas codebase, and it can be done much better. However what I take issue with is that this seems to be the overwhelming "culture" of Pandas. All Pandas code I've ever read is like this. If you look at tutorials, examples online, you see the same stuff. They all call everything the same name and program in the most dynamic & opaque fashion possible. Sure it's quick to write, and if you love Pandas you're used to it, but personally I wince every time I look in a method and see this stuff instead of normal code.

Personally I only use Pandas if I absolutely need it for performance, as a last resort.
FTC has been on a losing streak against tech companies so while this is likely to be the same because the courts aren't exactly aligned with the FTC's interpretation of anticompetitive practices I can respect doing it anyway.
I watched the whole fight with a 2 minute delay. That was frustrating and it didn't help that Tyson lost.
A president can't pardon himself. He can still be held responsible for this crimes that he's already done. they'll just be shelved for a time. With any justice we'll come back to his crimes after this presidency proves to be a complete failure. I personally don't believe that Americans will allow anyone to become dictator.
I would have thought:

About that JPEG/ZIP/Shakespeare hybrid file
Imagine someone opening the garage doors of every house that has this installed. The fact that physical access is needed to open the door, legally or not, is a good thing.
What do you think were the dynamics of the engineering team working on this?

I'd think this isn't too crazy to stress test. If you have 300 million users signed up then you're stress test should be 300 million simultaneous streams in HD for 4 hours. I just don't see how Netflix screws this up.

Maybe it was a management incompetence thing? Manager says something like "We only need to support 20 million simultaneous streams" and engineers implement to that spec even if the 20 million number is wildly incorrect.
The letter in actual use seems more likely to be printed as a two-tiered Z.

It also helps that youtube serves shit tier quality videos more gracefully. Everyone is used to the step down to pixel-world on youtube to the point where they don’t complain much.
Maybe you can take some solace from the proliferation of terms for what were once universally referred to as daughterboards.

Oh, I removed that link because it was talking about efficiency of light transmission to reaction centers, or something like that, i.e. only the start of the process.

At least two a day on landline, starting right at 8am, and at least five or six a day on my cell.
The stream was lagging almost as much as Tyson's fighting.
If it gets frozen in a heavily contracted form, unthawing it will trigger at least one half-beat: could that be enough to restart it?

No, you absolutely cannot. This is how copyright works by default.

You'd need to relicense your code, with the permission of anyone else who owns copyright to it, to this documentation license.
The site was taken down earlier today. Mail service remained up for some time. Sent myself a test email - seems I managed to migrate most of my emails over just in time as I'm no longer getting mail.

I used cock.li since about a few months after its initial opening. It was reliable enough and I trusted Vincent had his heart in the right place.

Even if it comes back up - I have no plans to migrate anything back. I've been self-hosting my email for a few years now but never took the time to reset my email everywhere until today. I wish I started about an hour sooner than I did as there are 2 accounts now stuck in potential limbo assuming the domain doesn't get moved elsewhere or temporarily hosted so people have time to migrate away from it.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
> To defend against concatenated ZIP files, Perception Point suggests that users and organizations use security solutions that support recursive unpacking

Yeah, or, you know, just outright reject any ZIP file that doesn't start with a file entry, where a forward-scan of the file entries doesn't match the result of the central-directory-based walk.

There is just so much malicious crud coming in via email that you just want to instantly reject anything that doesn't look 'normal', and you definitely don't want to descend into the madness of recursive unpacking, 'cuz that enables another class of well-known attacks.

And no, "but my precious use-case" simply doesn't apply, as you're practically limited to a whole 50MB per attachment anyway. Sure, "this ZIP file is also a PDF is also a PNG is also a NES cartridge which displays its own MD5" (viz https://github.com/angea/pocorgtfo/tree/master/writeups/19) has a place (and should definitely be required study material for anyone writing mail filters!), but business email ain't it.
At least half of that is on you. NEVER work unpaid/unlogged OT.
China in 2024 is on track to install more solar and wind capacity than it's consumption growth add the fact that of lcoe of solar + battery storage is now cheaper than what retail electricity is selling for in China.

0 people give a shit about boxing fans. It’s not up to them.
I hadn't realized how popular the `regex` package is (
https://pypistats.org/packages/regex). That's almost as frequently downloaded as `build`, the PyPA standard build front-end, and well ahead of e.g. `ipython`.

One common frustration with Python development is that people with new ideas nowadays are often dismissed "for now" and told to implement their idea as a package and put it on PyPI, and demonstrate that there's demand.

Of course, that puts responsibility for publicizing the idea on the developer. And then if a new package does succeed, suddenly there's no reason why it needs to be brought in to the standard library, where it would become a maintenance burden for core devs, would join "where libraries go to die", etc.

One might imagine, then, that Python has fully embraced the modern idea of having a minimalist standard library while popular third-party packages are installed almost by default, as part of the "ecosystem". A rejection, IOW, of "batteries included". Except - even very conservative changes, like finally removing `distutils` after waiting all the way until 3.12, still nearly cause catastrophe (https://labs.quansight.org/blog/building-scipy-with-flang).
I wonder what the watts-per-character is of this tool.
Truncated headline leaves out "distraught" which really changes the tone of the article. They are distraught about having to go to work? Every company is doing this now, and the rest are following suit. I fully support WFH but have no illusions that it was going to last forever.

The sense of entitlement among Amazon employees is unbelievable, they don't seem to understand how at-will employment works. I attribute this to them likely being in their 20s and never having worked a real job before - and more importantly, never having been fired before. It takes that first firing to truly understand how insignificant on a human level you are to these large companies. You are literally numbers in a spreadsheet.

If they don't like it they can form a union and put it in a contract - but that is fundamentally incompatible with how that roller coaster of a company operates.

Good luck with your soft layoffs.

Antonio Brown is not “just some dude”. He’s a national treasure.
I'm not politically informed, and I don't watch traditional media, so I had to Google "Murdoch".

If I understand you correctly, you feel it's the right-leaning outlets like Fox News that have weaponized us-vs-them mindset?

The origin feels flipped to me, but regardless who started it, I see little to no actual respectful and thoughtful discourse these days - mature discourse where each side is willing to listen and acknowledge the elements of truth and assume positive intent in the other side's positions.

As you say, the media on both sides, including social media, feels extremely childlike and unsophisticated.

Surely we already have this: the jump just takes forever.
Everyone pointing out that their illegal streams, X streams, etc. work fine are kind of missing the point.

These secondary streams might be serving a couple thousand users at best.

Initial estimates are in the hundreds of millions for Netflix.
Kind of a couple of orders of magnitude difference there.
This is more so a business error than a technical one. They needed to take more baby steps up to an event of this magnitude.
