This is the exact reason why we went with MySQL. Many asked why, A small team with limited resources. You cannot go to production without HA, and many time cloud may not be a solution. For small use cases MySQL Innodb Cluster is a simple elegant solution to setup.
There have been wargames where it has been simulated with China using its entire commercial fishing fleet as the amphibious assault force. It wouldn't be easily stoppable.
So you’re saying that if we want to avoid World War 3 we have to get rid of nationalism in Serbia?
Those numbers do not mean what you seem to think. 1st, proficiency on that test is a pretty high bar. There are kids making perfectly adequate progress who don’t score proficient. Second, average per-pupil costs are meaningless. Baltimore city pays for two of my kids’ educations. One costs the city about $8k (the money that a school gets for a kid with no extra needs). The other costs well over $100k, due to significant disabilities. Baltimore has a disproportionate number of kids with significant needs of some sort, including learning disabilities, extreme family poverty, and ESL learners. Those kids need extra resources. A voucher system isn’t going to change that.

I don't think I've ever heard "big powerful unions" and "teachers" in the same sentence before.
Just want to say how great I am for calling this out a few months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=41470605
I'm curious where you live. My spouse and I selected the area we live in based on the school district when our kids were around pre-K age. We live in a district that isn't overly expensive to live, but has the best public schools in the state and are some of the top in the nation.

Throwing chairs? That's a parent problem. Not sure why the district would put up with that. Expulsion works. I've never heard a story like this and we've been in the district for 8+ years.

As for skills, my kids are probably 3 years ahead of where I was at the same age. Devices are not a huge component of their schooling, although I am on a parent board that's pushing back on SaaS creep. They're forced to have Google accounts which I'm proposing to remove and/or minimize. Math and reading programs are fantastic. Teachers are great. There have been one or two mediocre teachers but nothing to really complain about.

We also have great private options, but again, we moved to this district to take advantage of the public schools.

As an observation the homeschooled kids that participate in extracurricular activities along with the public school kids are definitely behind. Not only from a traditional education standpoint, but also social skills. It's always an awkward conversation when those parents engage in a conversation asking where our kids are at with respect to reading, math or science.

Our goal is to have our kids be the best version of them that they can be. If they're happier, healthier and better equipped than we were then I'll be happy. I look at a lot of parents who want their kids to be stars and it's painful. Modern day parenting has lost its way in US society on so many levels.
No one doubts the power or utility of regexes or ffmpeg, but they are both complicated beasts that really take a lot of skill.

They're both tools where if they're part of your daily workflow you'll get immense value out of learning them thoroughly. If instead you need a regex once or twice a week, the benefit is not greater than the cost of learning to do it myself. I have a hundred other equally complicated things to learn and remember, half the job of the computer is to know things I can't put in my brain. If it can do the regex for me, I suddenly get 70% of the value at no cost.

Regex is not a tool I need often enough to justify the hours and brain space. But it is still an indespensible tool. So when I need a regex, I either ask a human wizard I know, or now I ask my computer directly.
My local trails all allow ebikes. Which could be bad with kids destroying the trails (I remember riding dirt bikes as a kid). But... kids don't go out or do anything. Turns out all the ebike riders are old people.
From what I've read it jacks up your bloods ability to store oxygen. So, kinda yes and yes.
Tbh the idea of keeping backups defeats the purpose of using RAIDZ (especially RAIDZ3). I don’t want to buy an LTO drive, so if I backup, it’s either buying more HDDs or S3 Glacier ($$$). I like RAIDZ so I don’t have to buy so many drives. I guess it protects you if your house burns down, but how many people do offsite backups for their personal files? And dormant, unpowered HDDs die a lot faster than live, powered HDDs.

My daughter's middle school science class spent a month and a half chewing through water and rock cycle. I don't think geology is in her future.
Yeah, I know one kid that threw a chair in school. We use public education because I think it's good for kids to be independent at an early age. It can't be healthy to spend 16 years within bluetooth range of your parents at all times.
Streisand tried to stop the publication of a photograph, and consequently the photograph became more widely disseminated.

The tech platforms just don't want the content on their platform. Removing it from their platform accomplished the goal. Unlike Streisand, it's unlikely they care if the content is widely distributed on someone else's platform. Not their problem.

Completely agree.

IMO we should start with paid maternity/paternity leave, childcare subsidies, and free Pre-K. Just get things started on the right foot.

I think we're the only developed country without paid maternity leave. It's pathetic.
It's not IdP's responsibility to "fix" the internet.

Just like someone can buy a home and will get mail targeting a previous owner, the same happens with domain names and emails.

Domains are, however, much cheaper and more abundant, so it happens more often.
If you OK using a tiny tad JavaScript, it should be able to re-write that portion of the DOM to have HEADER and FOOTER common. Nonetheless, if you are also OK using Github, it has built-in setup where you blog in Plain-text (MarkDown) and things just works. You don't even need to build it on your local machine.

I'm nowhere near an APL-level programmer, but that C example already looks ridiculously verbose to me; the body of the loop could be simply written branchlessly as:

total += !(i&1);

...and since there's another comment here about Asm, I'd compile the above as (assume edx is i and total in eax, high 24 bits of ebx precleared):

test dl, 1
setnz bl
add eax, ebx
Pretty useless so far. I'm not sure what the intended application of this is so far, but I wanted it to schedule some work for me.

It only scheduled the first thing and that was after having to be specific by saying "7:30pm-11pm". I wanted to say "from now to 11pm" but it did couldn't process "now"
Well then it's a flawed analogy. There is no credible basis to say the planet is "dying" in same exigent sense you convey with this analogy. It's particularly bad faith to compare the lifespan of a Human with the imputed lifespan of Earth.
Technically, you started it.
I'm sorry but the amount of houses nearby that need to be on fire before I'm just getting the fuck out is less than any amount that people might reasonably consider a wildfire, my house is not worth risking my life. Even if I do manage to stop it from burning down without getting killed the damage to my health from smoke inhalation is not worth it.

I would also be extremely skeptical of any claims of mismanagement re: the Californian government you read online - it's being used as a political football and very little of what I've seen has any basis in reality.
The problem with posting to YT is kids might seek validation of their content from peers or strangers and that always comes with risks.
LLMs hallucinate and often provide incorrect answers. They're a fabulous tool if you're not necessarily looking a specific, correct, answer. But I'm not sure I would want my kids to use them as a tutor, without someone to vet the output.
> Should that not give you pause about the general quality of the schools you're defending?

No, because I've seen the average of the extremist schools which will grow with the voucher program and they're far worse than the negatives I experienced. Education like Eve gives Adam two apples, how many apples does Adam have; it doesn't matter Jesus will come soon here's another chapter of the KJV.
What, you never thought it would be cool to see the Titanic yourself? The only weird thing is actually being able to do it.
Jesus, I hadn't realized they had come so far. Apparently NK gained the ability to hit the entire continental US with Hwasong 15. The latest iterations are suspected of being designed to contain MRVs or MIRVs, which would completely overwhelm US missile defenses. It is insane that we let them go down this road.
> Stephen Miran, nominated to advise Trump, has suggested high tariffs could be the price allies pay for U.S.’s defense umbrella

So the takeaway is that Stephen Miran is a brown-noser busy repeating his boss' delusional/evil nonsense.

> “Retaliatory tariffs by other nations can nullify the welfare benefits of tariffs for the U.S.,” Miran acknowledged.

> To deter retaliation, he wrote that the Trump administration could “declare that it views joint defense obligations and the American defense umbrella as less binding or reliable for nations which implement retaliatory tariffs.”

Ah, so the US could come out ahead imposing tariffs... if everybody else sits back and just takes the hit without hitting back, and we could make that happen if we present our nation as not merely greedy but maliciously untrustworthy. We just extort them with the threat that we might violate treaties if we aren't in a good mood, and hope that it'll work forever.

yeah I guess if passive means no ongoing work (beyond what it took to get them in the first place) then you're right. OP is playing a bit loose with the definition if that's what it's supposed to mean.
I don't disagree that we need to be cautious with LLMs, but I've personally stopped asking GPT-4/GPT-4 mini for technical answers. Sonnet 3.5 and DeepSeek V3 (which is much cheaper but still not as good as Sonnet) are your best bet for technical questions.

Where I find GPT to perform better than Sonnet is with text processing. GPT seems to better understand what I want when it comes to processing documents.

I'm convinced that no LLM provider has created or will create a moat, and that we will always need to shop around for an answer.

Ya know, it's websites like this that make me want to see a "best of HNN" list, so it can be easily found when I'm using ffmpeg and saying "geez, there was some cool ffmpeg site, but where the heck is it?...."

Can we have a best of HNN and put it on there, or vote on it, or whatever?
Well, I do. Sorry if that offends you, I guess.

That instruction only encodes to 2 bytes, so size-wise it's the most efficient.

In isolation it's the smallest, but it's no longer the smallest if you consider that the value, which in this example is the loop counter, needs to be preserved, meaning you'll need at least 2 bytes for another mov to make a copy. With test, the value doesn't get modified.
I like to think you mean that the so-called “elites” end up studying some useless degree and only can get jobs as trust-fund burger stand employees, serving fries to the “dummies” who chose to work hard and become wealthy the old-fashioned way

Nice work! There is a gap when it comes to writing single-machine, concurrent CPU-bound python code. Ray is too big, pykka is threads only, builtins are poorly abstracted. The syntax is also very nice!

But I'm not sure I can use this even though I have a specific use-case that feels like it would work well (high-performance pure Python downloading from cloud object storage). The examples are a bit too simple and I don't understand how I can do more complicated things.

I chunk up my work, run it in parallel and then I need to do a fan-in step to reduce my chunks - how do you do that in Pyper?

Can the processes have state? Pure functions are nice, but if I'm reaching for multiprocess, I need performance and if I need performance, I'll often want a cache of some sort (I don't want to pickle and re-instantiate a cloud client every time I download some bytes for instance).

How do exceptions work? Observability? Logs/prints?

Then there's stuff that is probably asking too much from this project, but I get it if I write my own python pipeline so it matters to me - rate limiting WIP, cancellation, progress bars.

But if some of these problems are/were solved and it offers an easy way to use multiprocessing in python, I would probably use it!

Hezbollah attacking Israel is acting as a proxy for Iran because they have no other reason to attack Israel (just ask Hassan Nasrallah). Ukraine fighting Russia is not because they don't want Russia in their country.

You make some reasonable points but they are mixed in with extremely typical Russia talking points like "Corruption cases among top ranks of Ukr government isn't helping either." You want corruption? Putin's wealth is impossible to estimate because he can take money directly from the Russian treasure and also force many oligarchs to let him user their yachts and homes.
I think you're onto something. I've had hit or miss experiences with code from LLMs but it definitely makes the searching part different.

I had a problem I'd been thinking about for some time and I thought "Ill have some LLM give me an answer" and it did - it was wrong and didn't work but it got me to thinking about the problem in a slightly different way and my quacks after that got me an exact solution to this problem.

So I'm willing to give the AI more than partial credit.
I'm so worried for those parents raising children outside of school without degrees in childhood development! Think of all the unqualified parenting time happening without skilled teachers to supervise!

I mean, I think it's close to "not even wrong" territory. Crazy talks.
> EDIT 1/14/2025: this article went viral on hacker news and now I have a bunch of comments telling me the above is wrong; mea culpa, I was never great at physics and apparently copy-pasting the explanation from the first google hit for "how do bikes stay upright" is not trustworthy in 2025. All I really care to say is that there's something mysterious and ineffable about balancing on a bike when you're a little kid that's hard to master when you're also trying to get a grip on pedaling, and your every instinct is to brake whenever you get scared, which will immediately tip you over.

Dear OP: don't worry about HN. They are insufferable cunts and have been for as long as I've been here (well over a decade).
>Fewer than 5% of climbers have died on Everest

Those two figures show how the number of deaths is less than 5% of the count of those who actually made it to the summit. The death rate would be less than that due to the large number of people that end their attempt partway through.

in terms of (4) the thing is that the government policy isn't solely concerned with "hiring the best candidate", or at least not necessarily considering cheap labor to be one of the criteria factoring into "best"

the government policy is concerned with protecting the jobs of citizens as well. it's a balance. it is meant to be a relief valve for employers when they legitimately can't find employees, it's not meant to be a mechanism for creating a wage ceiling or indenturing your employees so they can't move

I think PhpStorm/WebStorm has LiveReload built into it. It's been years since I've used it since I don't usually write plain HTML/CSS. But it was just a button click away IIRC. You shouldn't need to restart any servers no matter what you do anyway, just press F5. Still not hard.

I use PHP+Twig on my simple websites just so I don't have to copy-paste the header/footer/nav. It's still incredibly simple, very close to HTML+CSS and no build times. You can FTP upload your files if you want it works.

The ins and outs of that coaster brake rule provide a lot of wiggle room. My kids started on balance bikes and have moved up to a 12" and 24" ( wheel size ) from Cleary with hand brakes. They missed the regression of coaster brakes and training wheels. Geometry for kids bikes mainly comes down to the scale of the cranks. Small cranks are needed to lower the foot position and center of gravity enough to be 'in scale' with how we tend to consider bike geometry to work, but the shorter cranks also limit the suitability to a shorter leg length, so my kids' Cleary Gecko is pretty small on my 4yo, but she's ridden it for two years.

Small kids need smaller components, but it's hard to make small components reliable and cost effective. I really appreciate the folks who took the time to translate the same darn brake levers used all over the world to a size suitable for a 2 year old's hand. They're the cutest thing and they're the first thing I had to teach my son how to use after he was cooking it down hills on the balance bike. They get banged up first on a fall, they get merciless treatment, and they perform the same way I expect mine or any other to perform.
Even they know that if one launched from their end they would all cease to exist within minutes.

Thanks, we hope so! That's an interesting conversation -- I'd argue that the graph-based no-code solutions you're referring to are for a different set of people than those commonly found on HN. As a developer I didn't particularly want to work with those tools, so we built this to supercharge our own code-based flows instead. I actually don't think the node-based flows are horrible at all since they successfully enable non-developers/less technical people to use agents/build easy automations.
It has always been pay-to-win. Expensive “expedition style” ascents—where hired Sherpas shuttle oxygen bottles and other essential gear up to high elevation camps, setting fixed ropes and ladders along the way—vastly outnumber “alpine style” ascents where climbers attempt to summit with no support using only gear they can carry themselves.

The mountain has been flooded with rich people paying guides to get them to the top for decades. It’s obviously still a major challenge, but very much a well-monetized one.
There is no intersection design that could avoid this. Some people are going to be too close to the intersection to stop in time when they see yellow no matter what you do.

Assuming most of the problem is that federated services only rely on email address from OidC login, I wonder if Google could start offering user+unique-workspace-id@company.domain as the email address for any new workspace/user/federated login? Obviously, Google needs to control "unique-workspace-id".

Does not solve it for existing customers and any federated service they logged into, though if included alongside the simple email, federated services could gradually move to it and announce once they are "ready" so workspace admins can configure them to start accepting only new, safe email addresses.
