I think it's a matter of use case. Doing ad hoc data exploration on an OLTP system generally sucks the wind out of the performance. Even if you have some type of workload prioritization, isolation, and limitation, allowing data scientists and business analysts freely wandering through your production OLTP database sounds like a Bad Time.

The organization might say "Okay. Maybe you should do your ad hoc exploration on an OLAP system. Preferably our data warehouse where you can let your report run for hours and we won't see a production brownout while it's running."

So complexity of ad hoc joins in the warehouse generally can get more complex.

I feel like Progress Quest from 2002 is the spiritual predecessor of the clicker genre:

In that it distills the game mechanic of “make number go up” into a simplistic form. It just lakes the clicking.

None of that matters if you are selling shovels. Cash is cash. Google could be selling TPUs and directly competing with Nvidia. You might think Nvidia’s valuation is inflated, but the fact of the matter is they sold $60B in hardware last year.

Show HN: My new social music sharing and discovery app, Solance
I recently launched my new social music sharing and discovery app called Solance. The vision for the app was to make it easier for friends to share and discover music between them. All you need to do is sign up, link your Spotify and follow your friends. Once that's done your feed will populate with songs that the friends you follow have recently listened to on Spotify, in the form of a batch of 4 songs, similar to an Instagram post, where instead of an image it's 4 songs from that user. You can then listen to short previews of the songs, interact with your friends by liking and commenting on their songs, and also saving the song directly from Solance to your Spotify Liked Songs playlist. The app is currently a MVP and is in the very early stages. Hence there aren't heaps of features but the basis of the app is there. I would love if you could try the app out (ideally with some friends but if not just follow usernames dan and ryan to get started) and provide some feedback, good and/or bad about the app!

CLAs are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, they are pretty much necessary for software companies. We have one for our open source projects. It has language to ensure there's no dispute about our right to the code. That's important, because we indemnify our customers against IP infringement. It's a standard part of contracts for software and services.

Close to 5 million people ride MTA trains and buses every day. And that number gets much higher if you include commuter rail, NJ Transit, PATH, ferries etc. operating in the city. Over 70% of daily commuters in NYC already use some form of public transit, and 90% of those commuting into Manhattan use public transit.

All the "the subways are too crime ridden to use" shouts are pure propaganda. If millions of New Yorkers can survive, so can you.

Show HN: Master OAuth 2.0 with Hands-On: Visualize, Debug and Play with Flows
OAuth 2.0 is powerful but often feels like a beast to tame. We believe developers learn best by doing—and when it comes to building secure systems, understanding OAuth 2.0 is critical. That’s why we created this free toolkit: to make learning OAuth more interactive, intuitive, and accessible.

# Why We Built This

OAuth 2.0 is everywhere—from securing APIs to enabling third-party integrations. But let’s be honest:

- Learning it often starts with deciphering dense RFCs.

- Debugging flows can feel like solving a puzzle in the dark.

- The stakes are high—get it wrong, and you risk building insecure systems.

For many developers, the gap between theory and practice in OAuth is huge. We’ve been there too, spending hours debugging broken flows or trying to decode tokens manually.

We thought, what if there were a tool that didn’t just explain OAuth but let developers experience it in action?

That’s how this toolkit was born. It’s designed to help developers of all levels do OAuth, not just read about it. By visualizing flows, inspecting tokens, and testing knowledge interactively.

# What’s Inside?

- Dynamic OAuth Flow Visualizer: Watch requests and responses dance in real-time, giving you a clear picture of each step.

- Real-Time Token Inspector (Token Whispers): Decode JWTs without JSON tantrums. Peek into tokens, understand claims, and debug effortlessly.

- OAuth 2.0 Resource Hub: Centralized info on provider details, endpoints, and configurations—all in one place.

- Gamified Learning (OAuth Ninja Challenges): Test your skills and master OAuth flows through interactive mini-games.

- Live OAuth Logs Viewer: Track, debug, and analyze OAuth 2.0 logs seamlessly in real time.

# How You Can Help

We want to make OAuth approachable and actionable for everyone, but we need your help:

- Try it out: [https://authplay.io/](https://authplay.io/) (no signup required).

- Tell us:
- Does this approach help you better understand OAuth?
- Are there features you’d like to see that could make the learning process even better?

- Share your perspective:
- What challenges have you faced learning OAuth?
- How do you handle OAuth in your projects today?

# Why This Matters

OAuth 2.0 isn’t just a technical skill—it’s a cornerstone of modern secure system design. Whether you’re building your first API integration or architecting a complex system, understanding OAuth is essential for protecting user data and building trust.

Let’s make learning security concepts like OAuth 2.0 engaging, interactive, and impactful. We’d love your feedback to make this toolkit even better!

Thanks for taking a look!

This is true, but it's also changing in interesting ways: the rise of both light-truck SUVs and EVs as a whole means that passenger cars are, on average, heaver than they've ever been before.

This is still a small portion of overall road damage, but it matters in places like NYC. In particular it matters on our bridges and cantilevered highways, where passenger traffic can't be easily filtered away from weight-sensitive areas like commercial traffic can.

>Semis et al. definitely do not pay taxes proportionate with the damage they cause to the roads, but then again we all need them even if we don't drive.

I don't think there would be much point. At the end of the day we'd all pay it because we all consume the goods they deliver or transport during intermediary steps in the supply chain.

I guess you could argue that the status quo is somewhat of a tax incentive that favors local manufacturing (i.e they use the roads for every step of the chain vs imported goods which only use it for delivery). I don't take much issue with that.

Using the phrase “real hard truth” and “optical media that break easily” in the same post made my eyes cross. Are you referring to glass plate negatives from early 19th C. photography?

Your best of both worlds proposal sounds right, though.
you can't compare the US here. a prime minister is not just like a speaker of the house. in many countries world wide the prime minister takes on most of the responsibilities that in the US are fulfilled by the president. the prime minister effectively runs the country, while the president is just a figure head having mostly ceremonial duties. the role of the president in the US is different, and an exception to the common rule.

at least some of the reasons why the US president has a term limit could therefore also apply to other countries prime ministers.

What does 'retired my wife' mean in this context?
I haven't read though the whole thing, but my rough understanding is:

- A ray tracer runs on the CPUs, and generates surfels (aka splats)

- The surfels are uploaded to the GPU

- Then the GPU rasterizes the surfels into a framebuffer (and draws the UI, probably other things too)

So it's the ray tracing that's running on the CPU, not the rasterizer. Compared to a traditional CPU ray tracer, the GPU is not idle and still doing what it does best (memory intensive rasterization), and the CPU can do the branchy parts of ray tracing (which GPU ray tracing implementations struggle with).

The number of surfels can be adjusted dynamically per frame, to keep a consistent framerate, and there will be far less surfels than pixels, reducing the PCIe bandwidth requirements. The surfels can also by dynamically allocated within a frame, focusing on the parts with high-frequency detail.

It's an interesting design, and I'm curious what else is possible. Can you do temporal reproduction of surfels? Can you move materials partially onto the GPU?
Is that why I got down voted? This thing is header-only, I'm guessing it doesn't need rtti or have a big footprint.

I agree.

Ask HN: Interpreters or JIT Compilers used in OS at runtime?
Hi everyone.

I'm looking for unusual and/or surprising examples for interpreters or JIT compilers in places one would not necessary expect them to be used in an operating system at runtime (in the widest possible context). The idea is to discuss and explore hidden overheads in system software with my students in the context of a seminar and/or project.

Obvious IMHO not-so-surprising examples are shells or (e)BPF/Dtrace scripts.

Some more unexpected uses I can think of are interpreters for vector fonts (e.g. PS Type1 or TT hints), the use of LLVM to compile shaders for CPUs [1] or the use of Prolog in the network configuration of NT4 [2].

Do you know other examples?

IoT is still expanding steadily; the hype peddlers and fad chasers have largely ignored it because there's no bubble for them to cash in on. Smart TVs, internet enabled appliances, robot vacuums, Alexa devices, Phillips Hue lighting, smart thermostats, etc. are all IoT.

The industrial IoT market is still expanding too but ordinary developers wouldn't be able to observe it unless they work in that niche specifically.

The Lost Art of Logarithms
This is probably because you can fail catastrophically with the college way of doing things. I remember many people who failed one test out of three for the semester and essentially failed the class (given they did average on the other 2). No high school wants to deal with a system like that, it would be too much for kids to handle.
The thing is that “gold” in D&D is just some abstract indicator of value and we can just assume that in this fantasy universe, gold is cheaper and less scarce than in our own. Same with the arbitrary relations between gp, sp, cp and pp (and the less common ep). Given that the rulebook (at least used to state—I don’t know if it still does) that a coin had a weight of 1/10 of a pound, the contemporary value of a gp would be high in any real-world scenario (around $3800 according to the first site I found that would give me a number).

That said, I remember reading either in one of the old AD&D rulebooks or maybe Dragon magazine that GMs should consider the idea of adventurers showing up in town with sacks full of gold and loot being the impetus for an inflationary moment in town as all this new money enters the local economy. One could even imagine the townspeople being resentful of their food prices rising thanks to these interlopers showing up with all their gold and this being the impetus for its own little mini-adventure (perhaps even a quest for your players to boot a different bunch of adventurers out of town because they’re making things too expensive for the locals).
No, they would have been mainly on foot. I know this because it's actually happened, repeatedly, with BLM, in both Canada and the US. One random Canadian example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/black-lives-matter-pr...

Blocking traffic is still blocking traffic, though. In Canada, the "notwithstanding clause" essentially means no rights are absolute. Intentionally blocking traffic on highways here is generally illegal, insofar as people have a lawful right to drive there normally; see e.g. https://mtplaw.com/legal-news/arrests-for-blocking-a-highway... - and generally there will be clear evidence that such blockages are intentional.

Also, you can always use C# in a regular way or with one of Avalonia’s declarative UI extensions which are similar to FuncUI / Elmish / SwiftUI / etc. These tend to have fewer sharp (heh) edges.
I don't think you understand how catchy phrases work. You don't make your phrase 50 words long to accurately convey your thoughts or it will never catch on.
