ah, i once worked on a website and photoshopped one eye of a customer for a testimonial shut. then i switched the images out for a few ms on a random timer: i.e., die testimonal was winking at you. it was tiny and only happened once every few minutes but led to a lot of amusement in the dev team (you mostly saw some movement in the corner of your eye, took them ages to pinpoint it down). removed it before going live, tho.
So speed alone isn’t enough. And now we have noise restrictions, emissions rules and lack of infrastructure for supersonic flights. And I think commercial air travel will likely keep optimizing for efficiency rather than speed.
We had tried multiple tools for our end users to manage ELT workloads for analytics. I was skeptical earlier because of the massive time it would take us to migrate everything. We did it anyway, and it paid off. Totally worth the effort. I wonder what is it that these guys are doing differently, but keep at it guys [Thumbs Up]

Show HN: Building and Launching your startup fast, with a free trial
Hey HN,

We know how hard it can be to turn an idea into a real, working product. Especially when hiring devs is expensive, slow, and uncertain. That’s why I started Fornax Digital, a productized software development service that gets your startup off the ground fast. We offer a 14-day risk-free free trial, where you can check out our services, see if we are the right fit. This is where we build out the core of your product.

We build real, scalable apps with code. Not just no-code MVPs. Whether it’s a SaaS, marketplace, or internal tool, we can bring it to life.

Who's it for?
- Startup founders looking to launch fast and cost-effective.
- Non-technical entrepeneurs who need a dev team
- Teams needing extra hands to scale

Check us out here: https://www.fornax.digital/

Would love your feedback! Ask me anything.
It was also called that.

But it isn't that we're directly using this, but that definition checked generics are fairly similar to the ideas in that series of proposals, and that led to the generics in Swift. Also closely related to the generics in Rust, etc.

You can't have dymanic linking of two C-like libraries compiled to wasm, because you would not be able to pass pointers around. Basically everything you compile to wasm becomes static binary which needs some bitfiddling to interact with.

Definitely, if there as a gold lesson I had with WebForms and JSF, was that frameworks that abstract the way that browser APIs work, without debugging tool for those additional cake layers are not what I want to spend my time on, unless I am told that is the way by higher ups.

> The media have jumped all over it with breathtaking headlines every time a company mandated a full five-days-a-week RTO... But those media reports may be giving the wrong impression, and in fact very little has changed since the beginning of 2023 in terms of actual office attendance and the percentage of full paid days worked from home

The core thesis of this, with data to back it up, is that there was a RTO push in the wake of COVID, but its stalled since 2023, and the amount of workers returning to office has been flat. The partial WFH or "hybrid" schedule is clearly shown in data, with huge variations in certain regions between different days.

> The average occupancy in the top 10 office markets in the latest week was still only at 54%... with Houston being at 65% at the top end and Philadelphia being at 44% at the bottom. The epicenter of WFH, San Francisco, was at 45% (chart from Kastle, click on the chart to enlarge it):

Which looks to be pretty constant for years based on their data. And, again, there is huge daily differences showing hybrid work is popular, but also not equally.

> The average occupancy on Fridays in January was 28% in San Francisco and 30% in New York City. Even at the high end, in Houston, it was only 48%.

The final bit of interesting data, which cements their thesis that WFH is here to stay.

> In January 2025, over 29% of all full paid days were worked from home, up a hair from the Januarys in 2023 and 2024.

> So the share of WFH has given up about half of the Covid spike (which peaked in June 2020 at 62%) and then got stuck at a share that is roughly four times higher than it had been in 2019 (7%).
What the author says there is "What we just showed was that we can achieve a worst-case expected probe complexity of log squared one over delta with a greedy algorithm. And we don't have too much time to go over the non-greedy algorithm but...".

The funnel hashing described in the video is greedy. The video doesn't cover the non-greedy elastic hashing.

"Greedy" means that the search and insertion do the same probe sequence, and insertion just uses the first free slot in that sequence.
Ultimately yes, but that would imply changing designs a lot more. I. e. CSD95372BQ5M (TI's VRM switch) doesn't go beyond 24V. Most PMICs/controllers are designed to interface those low-voltage switches so those will need to be redesigned. That would involve the board vendor, PMIC vendor and processor vendor (Nvidia/AMD/Intel). 24V might or might not be available to the board vendors right now by changing some caps and inductors.
For most trips, shaving off a couple of hours isn't game-changing unless you're flying ultra-long-haul
“Interactive” is overly broad and doesn’t imply multi-user sync. “Duplex” tells me about the transport layer, not the desired functionality — some of the patterns in the article are achieved with half-duplex transports.

“Realtime” in this sense is akin to real-time strategy games which has been a named genre since at least 1992 (and is also not real-time in the classical computing sense).

>since you don't want to use step of pixel-level if statements in your shader code

The observation relates to pixel shaders, and even within that, it relates to values that vary based on pixel-level data. In these cases having if statements without any sort of interpolation introduces aliasing, which tends to look very noticeable.

Now you might be fine with that, or have some way of masking it, so it might be fine in your use case, but most in the most common, naive case the issue does show up.
Would you say that this tool is required because cpp is slow to compile or is it still useful even with a module system (or whatever would make it a fast-to-compile-proglang) ?

has anyone else encountered the Hindu nationalist perspective when discussing this? I've struggled to suggest this is a scientific reality when talking to some otherwise smart people about this and I suspect this is in part to their vulnerability to Hindu nationalist talking points which I assume tend to big up local ancestry instead of an ancestry that connects a lot of different peoples and religions together.

Just wondering if other people have experienced the same or have effective arguments to deal with the outright rejection I've previously faced. I like to think of these discoveries as great unifying ancestry many of us share, which I consider a positive thing, So it surprised me when I discovered an outright rejection of the thought.

[SECOND] = { .name = "SECOND", .value = 1 },

Thank you! As for a bit more context, I have an tokio async Rust app which does LISTEN and forwards all messages to a (for now unbounded) tokio::sync::broadcast channel. As the Rust program handles the messages extremely quickly, it should take the load off of Postgres. If a client disconnects/starts queuing up messages then of course we might get a memory problem in the app, but the messages are only 20 bytes or so.

Well, "at the time" is a funny way to put it. That thread is from 2023. The first commit in the repository is from 2013, importing the already existing source tree.

I recall having played around with DSL/TCL (Damn Small Linux & Tiny Core Linux) around 2010 or so and IIRC they already had their minimalist X11-but-not-Xorg server even back then, which I found fascinating at the time. I'm pretty sure I took a curious peak at the source code back then, IIRC it simply didn't live in git yet (tarball and a few patches?).

The XVesa code base that this is forked off of is of course much older.
Yes. This makes sense.
> I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before.

I think sometimes this is true. On the time I've had new starters on my engineering team I've always tried to teach them about the problem before they get exposed to any of our solutions. Sometimes they will have brand new insights that we've been completely blind to. It doesn't always happen, but there is only one opportunity for this, once they've seen the solutions they can't be unseen.
So they didn't just fire up pods in Kubernetes with new code and shut down the old ones? And they kept state in memory instead of some fancy distributed databases? And it worked?
I don't know how it worked in Sweden, but in Norway I know that one of the most common conventions was for the surname to be the farm where you were born (so my great grandfather had a different surname from his younger siblings, because the family moved). But when farmers started moving into the cities, these names were looked down on so many country people took patronymics when they moved to the cities to obscure their background.

Step vs ternary op vs if statement are equivalent - you are correct in that. What I'm saying is not about optimization or assembly - optimization doesn't matter when the end result looks bad.

What I'm saying that no matter how you express it in code, abrupt transitions of values introduce aliasing (or 'edge shimmer'), which looks unpleaseant. The way you get rid of it by smoothly blending between 2 values with smoothstep for example.

I get this vibe whenever I use the AWS or GCS dashboards, yet here we are!
I mean, the narrative pushed by right wing politicians is often more vibes based than the one by the left. Look right now: "the immigrants are ruining America/Europe" Vs "the ultra wealthy are hoarding capital which is ruining the economy and breeds economic injustice".

The far right Swedish party says (more or less) "all the problems are the immigrants' fault". The left says "can we expect the government to do as much as it did 30 years ago when we cut taxes by 500 billion sek (adjusted for inflation and population size)".
