Yes, and I mentioned redis above. You need a message broker with 2+ servers, be it pg, redis, or distributed erlang. It's still more complex than a single server setup, which was my point. It's easy to say you don't have to think about things working when you have 1 server, it's not easy to say that past 1 server, because the complexity added changes that picture.
Did you even read my comment? I literally talk about how to do that, in multiple different ways.
I agree.

On the other hand, I expect that programming languages will keep evolving, and the next generation or so might be designed with LLMs in mind.

For instance, there's a conversation in the Rust's lang forum on how to best extract API documentation for processing by an LLM. Will this help? No idea. But it's an interesting experiment nevertheless.
For the would be thief, a real or imaginary victimhood is eagerly sought, or welcomed, to justify your actions.

Maybe this is the real motivation behind the "victims" of the PC mindset: its a cadre of justifications to plunder the status quo.
Let's not forget he's also discussing things on communities like HN, where I calculate 3 comments/day over the last month (based on a calc I just made, since I subscribe to his comments via https://hnrss.github.io/).

Good time to make sure UPnP is not enabled. Its an authenticationless protocol. Yeah, you read that right, no auth needed.
Most of the time your subway will follow streets though. Your city has built around the existing streets and people have set their lives up around the places they can get to by the existing streets. If there are two points that are near each other as a crow flies but difficult to reach (shore to an island where there is no nearby bridge) people have made sure they don't need to go there and so you rarely gain much by giving them some new ability. While if you build on the streets they can now go places they were already going via your new subway.

Note that I said street and not highway. Some highways (limit access) are good for longer trips, but your subway would be better off using a side street parallel to the highway since while most people use the highway your subway doesn't need to get to any point on the highway while points on the side street - while of limited interest have at least some interest. City transit design is a complex subject that whole books are written about (sadly the people who are in charge don't read them)

For what its worth, Intel was one of the major contributors to IEEE 754. In a lot of ways the original 8087 behavior became an early IEEE 754 draft.
I can’t tell if this is a serious question. Towers this size are built in place, being able to handle the strain of being lifted from horizontal would be wild. Much easier and cheaper to pay a climber.

Their business models need more transparency. Donations from couples who have achieved milestones on all apps as a means of sustaining the business, could realistically make the world a better place.
The only people who think like think those are "great" apps are successfully promiscuous people around big cities with vast dating pools.
The big problem is patents and copyright. No common wireless standards are open. No wireless standards are feasible to implement. Seriously. It's that bad. Certainly a modern 4G/5G standard is complex from a hardware standpoint to implement - the way you usually do these is using a very powerful embedded DSP, which is also not open (Qualcomm Hexagon is the most reverse-engineered of these if you want to understand what's going on). But the thing that's holding Apple up is purely legal IMO.
> I love that if it compiles it almost always works

I'm going to dig in a bit here: What do you mean specifcally by this? It is quite the claim! I suspect it has to do with meaning there is a low likelyhood of crashing, e.g. no type errors at runtime. My skepticism is that that general statement implies more than this.
Linux Mint is very usable these days. I switched a few months ago because I couldn't stand how bloated Windows 11 was. I haven't regretted it: it's actually refreshing how Mint just does want an OS should do and doesn't try to shove extra features down my throat.
Cut and Cover is often used in transit conversations to mean any variation where you dig from the surface and not the construction method that is cut and cover. These are two different domains talking about different things that are related. Something we both need to be more aware of in conversations.

We must be reading different comments
Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to ever be getting an ethical dating app. It may be ethical as far as not charging users to connect, or not trying to keep users constantly staying single so they are always using and checking the app. Without that "addiction" potential, I think even a completely open dating app would fail miserably. If people were able to connect and move on quickly, there would be little reason for the app-creators to continue developing.

I say this as someone that has spent the last few years wading through various dating apps, looking for a monogamous relationship. The best luck I've had with dating (after using Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, and Facebook Dating) has been finding local Facebook singles groups, and just chatting. I can be nervous and awkward, but I'm able to fake it in person, and online it's easy for me to have conversations with others about interests.

Also, instead of trying to be a "normie" (although you didn't say you were doing this, so this may not apply), lean into what makes you unique and try to find the same or something compatible in someone else. Going through apps is not fun, but I have met a ton of different people that I don't think I ever would have interacted with if I hadn't gone through dating apps or chatting with strangers.

To be clear, the language isn't "fun" for anyone that has dealt with any of the things they mention!
I bounce off Linux every few years because I always run into a "that's just broken and if you don't like it go eff yourself" situation. Maybe sleep doesn't work right, or battery health charge limiting doesn't work, or I can't change the order of the window control buttons without throwing the whole WM out, or my 1% lows go absolutely in the trash, or some other obscure things just doesn't work.

Also the whole "Wayland was supposed to replace X twenty years ago but a third of software doesn't work on Wayland" thing is just super embarrassing and makes me feel like the entire Linux ecosystem doesn't know what it's doing.

Erm. I've been a developer for... well, certainly longer than most people on HN, I've reviewed code for most of that time, and for most PRs/MRs, I read the code almost linearly. I take a few notes here and there, and sometimes return to amend my notes, but that's often it.

It's only when a PR reaches a fairly high complexity (typically a refactoring, rather than a new feature) that I take the effort to sort it any further.

So, yeah, I guess I'm pleading guilty of doing that? But also, in my decades of experience, it works for me. I'm sure that there are other manners of reviewing, of course.

Yep, it's just completely frictionless and just works. Haven't really seen an ad in Firefox for over a decade. I don't know why anyone would put up with anything less.

The only ads I have to deal with are the ones on my TV YouTube and ones in apps, which I try to use the websites for instead anyway because I consider installing some app usually a sign of defeat. If someone isn't trying to scam you out of at least some attention and some personal data, they'd have a functional website.

I worked for a dating website years ago and the business model is completely broken. More fun, a few years ago I was putting together a talk related to this blog post and searched for "best dating site" and hit the "top 100 dating sites" which implies there are at least 100. Yikes.

> The availability of hardware seems semi moot, since afaik there's basically no way to get spectrum short of big national auctions.

You can run 5G in the unlicensed spectrum. AWS can rent you hardware for it: https://aws.amazon.com/private5g/ - it's $5k a month per site. I know a plant that switched to that because they couldn't get WiFi to work reliably for them.

But even if you want to run within the licensed spectrum, local licenses for a couple of bands are cheap. I was involved in setting up a private network in the licensed spectrum around 10 years ago (based on https://aviatnetworks.com/ ), and a local site spectrum license was something ridiculously small (in the range of a hundred dollars).

It's expensive if you want to do it nation-wide.

I think they were trying to get at something (not very successfully). I'd put it like this.

Want to find the best mathematician, the best engineer? Easy: just give them a hard test. Or more generally follow the metrics. The one with the highest score is the best, generally speaking. In that sense it's uncomplicated: administer the test, the highest scorer is your guy/girl.

For sales there is no equivalent. There is no "test" (crude sell me a pen type exercises notwithstanding). There often is a mysterious hard-to-quantify quality to the best sellers.

Of course with a track record it's much easier - the one w/the highest sales in the district, say - but without that it's quite difficult.

In that sense it's very different from other fields.

Hypermedia was scary at first because I was used to Next.js and React, breaking down everything into single and reusable components and their logic living inside of it. Now I'm doing pretty much all of it with minimal JS and the help of XPath.

I'm not sure this is entirely correct, it implies a level of standardisation that I don't think was the case. Not everyone agreed when years were considered to have started or used the same numbering systems for a very long time, even after the Julian calendar was widely adopted.

You can see how this played out in England, a relative latecomer to the increasing year start consensus. Up until the Calendar (New Style) Act of 1750, the year was considered to start on the 25th of March. This means that historical documents in England containing dates in January or February have what we would consider to be the 'wrong' year number on them. Pretty inconvenient, but at least the roman numbered months would have made some sense to a person living in England before 1750.

I think it would be interesting / beneficial to have recruiters that work for / get paid by the candidate, much like a real estate buyer's agent.

It gets awkward and weird applying for multiple jobs through different recruiters that all work for the employers, and they all want you to be exclusive with them and sell their employers/jobs hard and trash talk any other options you have, and tough keeping track of all the different jobs / applications.

It seems like it would be nice to have one recruiter that manages your whole job hunt, lets you choose the best option, and gets paid no matter which job you end up choosing so they're not motivated to push you towards particular jobs.

I wonder if you're missing my point here. Whatever Trump did or didn't do, whatever he represents to you, whatever evil things he's been accused of ... 77 million American voters chose him over a willing and available alternative. Its seems clear that the whole TRUMP==BAD campaign failed miserably if an election victory is any indication.

My point in a nutshell is simple; calling Trump names didn't work the first time and may have even helped him get reelected. If he is to be hampered, its too late to totally stop him, is this really the way to do it? Quadruple down on a losing strategy yet again?

Attacking Trump as a person failed. Attacking Trump on policy didn't seem to fare much better. Whats left at this point? 77 million people looked at the charges levied against him, and then voted for him anyhow. The rational response to this from his opponents is to continue down the same failed path? Its just performative theatrics at this point I think. The die has been cast.
