For more than a decade I have used only 4k displays (in most cases with 10 bit color components) on all my desktops and laptops, all of which run Linux.

I have never encountered any problem whatsoever. Only in Windows I have encountered sometimes scaling problems.

The only programs with which I had sometimes problems in Linux with high-DPI monitors have been commercial applications written in Java, some of which were very expensive. However those problems were not Linux-specific, but Java-specific, because those Java programs behaved equally bad on Windows.

For some reason, there seems to exist a high percentage of Java programmers who are incompetent at writing GUIs and the programs written by them neither follow the platform DPI settings nor allow the user to select a suitable display font, making their programs unusable without a magnifying glass when using high-DPI monitors. Moreover, I have encountered several expensive Java applications that crash and die immediately when used with monitors configured for 10-bit color instead of 8-bit color, both on Linux and on Windows.

So in more than a decade of using only high-DPI displays, I have never had problems with native Linux GUI applications, I have seldom encountered problems with native Windows applications and I have very frequently encountered problems with Java applications, regardless of the operating system on which they were run.
For major products we use v3-alpha-789 where 789 is number of commits since tag v3-alpha, v3 is the marketing version, and alpha is the maturity statement, here meaning “stable with new feature work and enhancements in development, minor breaking changes are allowed”. For minor projects we use v20220101-789, which means “read the commit log”. There is a “git describe” flag to generate these strings. The v prefix makes the strings valid git tags.

Advantage of git tags also is they can be assigned after the fact without changing the content hash, which means you can repackage releases under a new name (e.g. to republish a release candidate as stable) without needing any automated boilerplate commits. In Clojure ecosystem there are a bunch of stable libraries with -alpha baked into various places, and no way to fix it without hours of maintainer attention to click stupid buttons and run fragile scripts (with possible breaking changes!, e.g. god forbid you put -alpha in the namespace name, which core actually did). The maturity tag belongs in the git tag!
Reddit also has feeds that they don't publicise. eg: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/.rss

Adding /.rss on to the end of lots of URLs works all over the place on the site.
Depth (and potential DCS). You have no idea what depth the boat has sunk to. So let's say it's at 50m, it takes a long time to surface from 50m and if it's already taken you 1 minute to get out of the boat, you're fucked again. Not to mention any DCS you may suffer if you've been breathing compressed air down at 50m for very long!

If the boat is at 50 m the chances of getting rescued in time are probably so low that it may even make sense to try as a last ditch effort? If you remember to breath out on ascent. Hard to say...

Thanks for the commets.

We are modifying the website after doing an analysis with semrush and hotjar.

So; all feedback is always appreciated.

We would also like to have more feedback on ideas and functionalities that could be useful for the saas.

Thanks for your time, by the way.
I also really like Reeder but use miniflux as the backend
Curious to hear from other people here. I'm UK citizen, and on the whole, my perception is that I'm much more concerned about the effect on democracy from US led fake news and social media (specifically Twitter, Facebook and Truth Social) than TikTok.

I'm not making a case that that is justified, but I'm interested to know if other people in or outside the US share that perception?
Voting works for HN without js. Just forces a page refresh.
how is this different from ToonCrafter?
I challenge the notion that they're equal. Social media at least provides vox while traditional media is completely one-way. How much is astroturfing and illusion can be debated forever, but any positive value is greater than zero. Traditional media acts as programming first. Journalistic integrity and trust in institutions has been sold off for shareholder value.
I personally don't think that it is going to be a big issue. India banned TikTok, but it is still accessibly on the browser via a VPN. And everyone has a VPN installed on their phone these days. What is stopping people from just opening tiktok in their browser on their phone and continuing to browse their old accounts and content?
And yet, our support for one of side is the best military technology available and unlimited diplomatic protection - and for the other, humanitarian aid shipments that never arrive.

Very cool, though I do wish we had access to their suite of tests.
Back when I worked from my phone while in the ski lift line, the solution really is to keep an SSH key on the phone if I intended to do any work from it.

If I really had to access work resources from any random device, I'd go through the ordeal of logging into the SSO to log in to the web console to open a temporary cloud SSH session with the multiple layers of 2FA and probably even SecOps manual approvals that's likely required.
Eloquent truth pointer right there! ;)
I did for a number of years in the late 90s/early 2000s. Debian briefly, and then OpenBSD.

I had mutt for mail, slrn for usenet, BitchX for IRC, Lynx for the web, vim as an editor and mpg123 to play music. What would I need X11 for?
Similar to why radio relates to electromagnetical transmissions in the radio spectrum. When it happens over internet, we don't call it radio, but possibly internet radio. RSS was the origin of podcasts, and if it does not involve RSS, it is not podcasts
This is a clever approach, thanks for sharing.

Databases like Postgres come with option to use roles and different user accounts, yet many applications have a single user who can see and do everything.

It's overall good practice to compartmentalize data and tasks (e.g. reading vs db schema upgrades vs admin access via web interface etc)

Don't forget the tariffs that are bound to make it 30% more expensive.
Inconvenience?
It's convenient and fail2ban/crowdsec is generally a sufficient safeguard. Bruteforcing isn't realistic so you just have to keep an eye on vulns.

Key auth is obviously better, but password auth is not as bad as many people like to pretend.
Thank you. The equity pool in our company is less than 20% afaik.
> Or is it because people much smarter than us have tried to solve the situation, and failed ?

There are also a lot of people much smarter than us saying that the core parts of the Palestinian narrative are true (Nakba, land theft, apartheid and occupation, and yes, genocide, not talking about the religious Islamist stuff). E.g. the heads if pretty much all UN orgs and aid agencies.

Good explanation. That's most likely the reason for it.

At the same time it's what I don't like with most modern search functions: they won't allow you to search for exact words or sentences. It doesn't work on google, last time I played around with elasticsearch it didn't work, and it happens in many other places.

Obviously if you want performance you need to group common words and ignore punctuation. But if you're doing code search for actual strings (like on github) it's a totally different problem.

Would be nice to have a google-like search index that you can query with regexp.
You could probably get it working with declarative shadow dom, streaming in the AI generated content at the end of the html document and slotting it into place. There are no doubt a lot of gotchas but at first glance it seems feasible. Here’s a demo I found of something like that: https://github.com/dgp1130/out-of-order-streaming
That would be desirable but it does not happen in practice.

All the USB network devices that I have ever used required specific drivers. Sometimes the drivers happened to be already bundled with the Linux kernel or with Windows, but frequently they were not.
My impression is that there's less effort for them to go directly to headless browsers. There are several foot guns in using a raw HTML parsing lib and dispatching HTTP requests. People don't care about resource usage, spammers even less and many of them lack the skills.
Based on this list, it was 34 fatalities from three duck boat sinkings:

https://www.arnolditkin.com/blog/injury/dangerous-waters-a-s...

There were other fatalities but in different circumstances, mainly on land.

A quick Google turns up over a thirteen hundred dead in sinking incidents off Egypt in the last 20 years. Looks like Libya can't be far behind. They're in a completely different league and whilst generalisations can seen unpalatable it does seem tied to a careless approach to safety (as confirmed by all the mentions of safety equipment failure in the various incidents)

There's no reason to attack generalists.
Nextcloud News, still using v24.0 - which is no longer supported but for which I made a patch to make it work in current Nextcloud versions - instead of the current v25.0 rewrite since the former is functionally superior over the latter for my use case.
Commentary on N Guilty Men
Achmed, not Ahmed ...
I've been experimenting with creating single-site browsers[1] for all websites I routinely visit, effectively removing navigational queries from search engines; between that and Claude being able to answer technical questions, it's remarkable how rarely I even use browsers for day-to-day tasks anymore (as in web views with tabs and url bars).

We've been using the web (as in documents interconnected with links between servers) for a great number of tasks it was never quite designed to solve, and the result has always been awkward. It's been very refreshing to move away from the web browser-search engine duo for these things.

For one, and it took me a while to notice what was off, but there are like no ads anymore, anywhere. Not because I use adblockers, but because I simply don't end up directed to places where there are ads. And let me tell you, if you've been away from that stuff for a while, and then come back, holy crap what a dumpster fire.

The web browser has been center stage for a long while, coasting on momentum and old habits, but it turns out it doesn't need to be, and if you work to get rid of it, you get a better and more enjoyable computing experience. Given how much better this feels, I can't help but feel we're in for a big shift in how computers are used.

Most black hat spammers use botnets, especially against bigger targets which have enough traffic to build statistics to fingerprint clients and map out bad ASNs and so on, and most botnets are low powered. You're not running chrome on a smart fridge or an enterprise router.
To your point, why is it rumored that China is exploring selling TikTok to Musk and no one else? For as many topics Musk goes off on rants about that he ends up having very little knowledge on, he never says anything about China.

Let me disagree. IMHO cursive is faster than print once you get the hang of it.

However my point is valid for print too I guess.

Regarding time saved and the fact that they are two different systems, I don't get it. Time saved for what? They are not so different, cursive is built on top of print, just optimized for not lifting the pen from the paper too often (hence it is supposedly faster to write).

Drugs cost what they cost because of R&D, not manufacturing.

Look at how cheap generics are, that's what it costs to actually make and distribute a drug.

The pharma business model is that you spend incredible amounts of money on doing research, identifying promising drugs, doing trials, and overcoming all the regulatory hurdles you need to overcome to get the drugs to market. You then get a 20-year[1] exclusivity deal on your newly-introduced drug through patents, which you use to recoup your costs.

You don't just recoup the costs of inventing this particular drug, but also all the other drugs that seemed promising, had all that money spend on trials, but ended up just a bit too ineffective to ever be sold.

We could abolish the patent system and genericize everything, and that would instantly bring drug prices down massively, but then we wouldn't ever see any new drugs being researched.

> All of us who produce, we also consume. Society and its markets form an ecosystem, which needs some inefficiency to evolve, be resilient and thrive.

And all of us engineers get paid REALLY WELL because people sell software for us. Software is cheap relative to its value. Stop complaining that you're getting ripped off.

> Human society works best when people don't capture all their productive output, when they actually do leave some money on the table, because this allows others to take it and use it to innovate and create more value - which, again, if they don't capture entirety of it, allows even more people to build on top of it.

You have no evidence to support this.

10$/mo is way too expensive
I believe that, but also a lot of online calculators give insane numbers in part because they don't guide people to the right activity level. E.g. if you work an office job, you're almost guaranteed to be sedentary, but people often think they're still "active" because they go to the gym every day.

They're not.

If you account for that, a lot of the calculators make more sense, and a lot of people would be shocked at how little they should be eating.
I don't really care either way. I used TikTok and uninstalled it since I found myself watching more than doing. Even if you curate your algorithm to 'good' stuff, it's still just consuming.

You believe in a lie, most of the insane margins go towards sharholders of private laboratories or insurance companies and other parasites. Very little of it goes toward actual R&D, and the foundational part of it is done by public labs anyway, that are payed for by taxes.
I thought RSS readers were able to extract the URL themselves?
> Any of the short form videos from TikTok can be hosted on several other video platforms, if the creators care to upload it.

Sure, you can repost TikTok content anywhere, but what people really notice when they recognize that tiktok's algorithm is unique—without realizing it—is that it's apolitical by default, and not-western when politics come into play. It actually shows you what you're interested in, instead of force-feeding western progressive/consumerist messaging and banning half its users for wrongthink.

So yeah, post the same content on Reels/Shorts if you want, but if it doesn't align with the western narrative, good luck with the shadowbans and downranking.
Thus is a pet peeve of mine. Some companies send an multi-part E-Mail, just for the plain text part to be an empty string. Why bother? Pretty often the plain text is just the same html, so you get to read raw ugly html. Do people not test this?
Is it me or are RSS feeds making a comeback on HN? Very happy to see this trend!
I use NetNewsWire on Apple’s platforms and Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows. Both are free. Thunderbird is a bit more…unrefined…compared to NetNewsWire, but it works fine.
How would you even use RSS now that no browser supports it anymore? Do people run a separate RSS reader on the side?

It's actually implied in the paper that the neural memory module M can be anything, and there's probably a lot of room to test different kinds of architectures for M. But in this paper M is an MLP of 1 layer (fig. 7 is an ablation study using different number of layers for the MLP).

> using a matrix-valued memory M [...] is an online linear regression objective and so the optimal solution assumes
the underlying dependency of historical data is linear. On the other hand, we argue that deep memory modules (i.e., M ≥ 2) . Aligning with the theoretical results that MLPs with at least two layers are strictly more expressive than linear models (Hornik, Stinchcombe, and White 1989), in Section 5.5, we show that deep memory modules are more effective in practice

Truth lies somewhere in between. It's also a generalization to think everything related to the “evil-nation” postulation is nothing beyond a conspiracy theory. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Edit: quoted evil-nation since it’s a debatable term usually applied to any country not politically or culturally aligned with some intelligence activity presence.
There are cases when a USB Ethernet dongle without transformers can be dangerous.

For example, I use a USB Ethernet dongle to connect my router to a cable modem provided by the ISP.

The ground of the cable modem is at the potential of the shield of the coaxial cable, which comes from far away and the voltage difference between the coaxial cable and the ground of my apartment is big enough to give you a serious shock if you would touch an exposed metal part (normally there are no such exposed metal parts).

So it is essential for the USB Ethernet dongle to provide insulation between the incoming Ethernet cable and the USB port that is connected to the router, which is grounded at the home ground.

I run a semi-popular website hosting user-generated content, although it's not a search engine; the attacks on it have surprised me, and I've eventually had to put in the same kinds of restrictions on it.

I was initially very hesitant to restrict any kind of traffic, relying on ratelimiting IPs on critical endpoints that needed low friction, and captchas on the higher friction with higher intents, such as signup and password reset pages.

Other than that, I was very liberal with most traffic, making sure that Tor was unblocked, and even ending up migrating off Cloudflare's free tier to a paid CDN due to inexplicable errors that users were facing over Tor that were ultimately related to how they blocked some specific requests over Tor with 403, even though the MVPs on their community forums would never acknowledge such a thing.

Unfortunately, given that Tor is a free rotating proxy, my website got attacked on one of these critical, compute heavy endpoints through multiple exit nodes totaling ~20,000 RPS. I've reluctantly had to block Tor, and a few other paid proxy services discovered through my own research since then.

Another time, a set of human spammers distributed all over the world started sending out a large volume of spam towards my website; with something like 1,000,000 spam messages every day (I still feel this was an attack coordinated by a "competitor" of some sort, especially given a small percentage of messages entitled "I want to get paid for posting" or along those lines).

There was no meaningful differentiator between the spammers and legitimate users, they were using real Gmail accounts to sign up, analysis of their behaviours showed they were real users as opposed to simple or even browser-based automation, and the spammers were based out of the same residential IPs as legitimate users.

I, again, had to reluctantly introduce a spam filter on some common keywords, and although some legitimate users do get trapped from time to time, this was the only way I could get a handle on that problem.

I'm appalled by some of the discussions here. Was I "enshittifying" my website out of unbridled "greed"? I don't think so. But every time I come here, I find these accusations, which makes me think that as a website with technical users, we can definitely do better.
