Hi!

I built a site which helps improve your coding skills with byte-sized tutorials.

Key features:
* Tutorials for over 15 languages and frameworks.
* Tutorials for beginners and advanced programmers who want to learn more (e.g. Python vs Advanced Python)
* Has a few language crossover tutorials (e.g. Learn Kotlin if you already know Java, Learn Swift if you know Objective-C
* Has more advanced concepts like large language models and neural network tips and tricks.
* Learn through small examples that fit on a single page.
* Scroll to the next item by swiping upwards in a TikTok-style interface.
* Click on the title of a post to learn more with an LLM.

I was inspired to write this by the recent WikiTok and ArxivTok posts on hackernews :). It took a few hours to write.

Hopefully you'll find it useful!

That's a reasonable point. Too bad an auto mode for my music and podcasts (of varying volume; also varying with whether I have a passenger) is probably not a thing...

On the other hand, my sense with how I use temperature control in my car is that most of my interactions are (a) set mode at start of driving (b) incrementally turn the temperature dial a notch or two without looking at it.
Oh, tell me more - what year was this added to the spec, and what year did nvidia start offering this connector?
You have again ignored the trade-off in your word-play.
Sure, but it's hard to blame that on Seagate. The AFR is their fault.
And just be glad that you aren't, if you like the free market, it really isn't the place for you.
iDrive 7 (what you probably have in your 2021, and what I've had in 2022 and 2020 BMWs) is peak iDrive to me. The important stuff (climate control, volume, radio on/off) still has physical non-capacitive buttons, while the radio is entirely controllable with the touchscreen OR iDrive Controller (the puck in the center console). I barely have to take my eyes off the road to do anything, even in the iDrive system, since I have muscle memory for the iDrive Controller motions.

And now they're rolling out iDrive 8 vehicles that move climate control to the touchscreen and don't even have the puck (looking at you, X1) and I can't imagine buying one of those cars. I'm happy with my 2020.
Wow, amazing. I bet it makes french fries in 3 different ways, too.
I'll bite. Quality of life in terms of natural resources available only goes down with more people. I'd be much happier with maybe 25% of current population level.
What I wrote is exactly how terrorism works, for evidence, I submit the real world. Again, they aren't going to bomb Muslims in their holy land, I don't see how this would be surprising.

That was the majority position of the entire liberal establishment for the last decade. See: https://xkcd.com/1357/

While my reply was rather curt in the beginning, I don't think this is a first amendment violation as it they have done nothing to restrict AP's access to information or publishing information, only from being in the room with the President.

This sort of access control has been ongoing since at least the Obama administration:

and under Biden:

They have touchscreens now, so you can input text with an on-screen keyboard but do everything else with the controller.
hey, it's great to see partial support for scheme's continuations (or common lisp's restart system)!

that old adage continues to be true: any sufficiently complex web scripting runtime will eventually implement about half of common lisp :)
I could swear I recently saw an article about a peg-tool that came with lsp support - sadly I can't find it. The closest I come is pest which has an ide-tools crate and some plugins for lsp/ide/editor support:

Seems like implicit bias. "Many people in my circle have an H1-B visa, thus it is far from impossible to get one."
Only if the consumers are independently wealthy. Ask any business owner if they will make more money with reducing their workforce wages.
It would be so great if WASM gives us the paradise that Java promised thirty years ago. Being able to get fast, "write once, run anywhere" would be awesome.

I wonder if someone could make a decent cross-platform GUI toolkit to save us from the horribly slow Electron-hell we've carved out for ourselves.
I switched to TLC flash last time around and no regrets. With QLC the situations where HDDs are cheaper, including the cost of power, are growing narrower and narrower.
Had a really similar experience with my dad, the only difference was that he was calling for his mom (that passed away many many years before) in the language of the country he was born.
It was a really touching thing that I'll never forget.
You are assuming that all posters on HN are American? An Australian, for example, doesn't care if their car is made in china or not, they are taking the cheaper car! Many countries don't have local auto producers, and they are just going to take the best deal, and that's going to be Chinese.

> With statements like yours, it feels like the left is rooting for the most catastrophic outcomes possible for that whole country, just to spite Trump. Even though we'd all lose and Trump wouldn't be affected either way.

This only makes sense if the poster is American though right? Otherwise, they are just being pragmatic.
Sacks also wrote a book called "Hallucinations," which is excellent and highly relevant to this article. If any of you have loved ones who are starting to hallucinate or experience visual artifacts of the type associated with Charles Benoit Syndrome, I highly recommend reading this.
We’re still using COBOL mainframes in 2025 in places so I’m sure whatever is the next trend in computing will be great, but I’m sure we’ll still be using k8s (and COBOL) in 2125.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of this before. Looks like it's a different type of engine failure (not related to LRD), but the same basic problem.

I wonder if they just need formaldehyde sensors in the bleed air line...
Yes… that’s my point…
I went to an EV drive day here in Australia and drove around 25 models round a track for the day. The BYD Seal came out on top for me and many others.
Interior styling is so much better than Tesla as is fit & finish. The driving dynamics were neck & neck with Tesla and a few other high end cars.
BYD also make great batteries and use CATL I think in some models. I can see BYD being the dominant player in the not too distant future.

Hardly, they're also customers and employers. Also governments are the people, they spend taxes for their benefit.
Isn't "contributing little to the system" and "taking underpaid jobs" a contradiction? If you are taking a job, you are contributing to the system.
Good connectors are expensive. All-plastic connectors like these are extremely cheap. Here's an example of a connector style as used in internal PC power cabling:

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-icc-fci/...

This is $0.20/ea in bulk from a distributor, after import into the US, and after distributor markup. Probably $0.10-0.15 or even less at he scale board manufacturers are working at. You have 4 of these kind of connectors in your system (1 on the GPU, one on the power supply, and two on the cable). So still <$1 total in volume.

A quality d-sub power connector that has a metal housing and screws in place is going to be about $10/each. That's $40 just in connector parts, just to power your GPU, not including every other power cable in the unit, and not including all the herding cats you need to do to get the entire PC industry to shift over to using your new connector.

So, yes, you could do this, but you'd probably double the cost of a PC power supply (if all connectors used were upgraded to the same standard) and increase the cost of every GPU by $100-200, minimum.

People are already complaining that modern GPUs cost too much, so businesses making parts have assessed that it hasn't been worth it to spend this kind of money on connectors. Now, this may change at 600+W... clearly something has to change soon, as we're seeing the limits of what the existing standards can do.
In fact, these theories comport quite well with reality. I'm aware of attacks in Saudi Arabia but there have been no attacks on Saudi Arabia of the scale of 9/11. Sure, there are attacks all over of the Middle East but not any of these large scale shocking attacks.
Containers have two goals: reproducibility/portability, and encapsulation. WASM could replace the reproducibility but it can't replace the encapsulation.

> My money is on WebAssembly (WASM) to replace containers. It already has in some places. WebAssembly is a true write-once-run-anywhere experience. (Anywhere that can spin up a V8 engine, which is a lot of places these days.)

Luckily a container is a place that can spin up a V8 engine. If you want to bet on WASM my bet would be on containers running WASM.
Thanks for this! Just yesterday I decided to finally start really using jj with real work, whereas I had only fiddled around with it a few times while following tutorials over the past year.

One suggestion - reverse the direction of the arrows: q->r rather than q<-r
Are you suggesting the Germans shouldn't get over their past guilt? Everyone reasonable moved past that more than 50 years ago. I know some Germans; if they don't want to feel guilt over the Nazis that is healthy. Germany should not be defined by the Nazis. It wasn't this century, it wasn't these Germans and the circumstances today are unrecognisable compared to 1930s from an ideological perspective.

> Both his grandfathers were proudly outspoken pro-apartheid, antisemitic public figures. It's how he was raised.

Oh well then. Extending his arm straight didn't reach me, but racist grandparents? Nazi confirmed, my bad, I'll go invest in Jew ovens. Now everyone can move on; no point anyone bringing it up again.
Please pardon my ignorance but why is it unlawful for DOGE to be accessing this data? I was under the impression they had proper security clearance and were given lawful access by the president somehow.

The people who contribute to kernel and especially maintain the subsystems are some of the most well-paid developers out there. If they are not a principal engineer somewhere, they have their own lucrative consultancy business.
The research is fine. I'm referring to the likes of Hindutva trying to establish that the Aryans were "indigenous" to India and subsequently migrated elsewhere, thus proving that Hindus alone are indigenous to India. The out-of-india theory referred to above.
That's fair enough, but it would require a pretty radical restructure of our economy to do that. Most of our economy sort of depends on a growing population; this has been an issue with Japan (and their slowly-shrinking and aging population) for quite awhile.

Eventually, of course, we will all have to have a neutral or negative population growth rate, but I have to believe that there's an advantage to being the last country with a growing population, though I don't have data to back that up off the top of my head.
That's an interesting take, but false in a lot of juristictions. Even if we ignore question of if the model can distribute work, in many places even downloading content is illegal. Otherwise the person torrenting a movie would be totally in the clear, or thing about what MS would say if a company "just" downloads copies of Windows to use on their computers without ever distributing them.
Well, you don't know whom I voted for but you prove the point. Your position is just ridiculous.
That would be cool.

It's been about 3 years since I dug into WASM and was bewildered about how to use it.

Is it time to dig back in?
What sort of tooling is required for wasm? Let's say I wanted to deploy a middle tier in our app, consisting of some nodejs code that talks to an external database.

We'd use a Dockerfile, install nodejs or use a source image to build from. How does that work for wasm? Does it have layers to reuse?
Its also horrible on desktop. The content is literally a 15% area on the very left and most of the space is blank (or probably full of ads that are on multiple layers blocked on my client)
The article starts out "In the year 2030, no one will remember Kubernetes", but focuses mostly on containers. Kubernetes solves a lot of problems that a runtime alone doesn't, like rolling upgrades, load balancing, etc. etc. However, focusing on the thrust of the article, which is replacing containers with code compile to WASM running in v8, it's still hard to agree. For example, apps commonly need a bunch of dependencies, WASM doesn't solve that problem, so you still benefit from building images in multiple cacheable layers.

I mean I don't enjoy Docker either, but I think it's more that there are many problems k8s + Docker help you solve, and WASM alone wouldn't solve a lot of them.
Docker pre-kube was really great, imo.

Sticking a bunch of docker containers on a box behind a reverse proxy or load balancer felt like the sweet spot of complexity and scalability for most apps.
I remember using spizzam2k and spamming out millions of InstaKiss phishing emails.

We used to phish OH accounts and <M>< master accounts to get free internet or scroll from the OH accounts.

AOL was so awesome and where I met friends I still keep in contact with today. Also taught me how to program.
we're talking about mexico, not the weirdly over-inflated home solar price of the US. For eg australia is around ~ $1/w installed, and they have high labor costs. It doesnt have to be expensive, the US makes it so somehow.
That worked better than excpected. Thanks for the heads up.
*little

The country could focus on legal immigration and increase the contribution from little to more.
i915 is still the main kernel mode driver on Linux for every Intel GPUs up to Alchemist. xe kmd is used by Battlemage by default (as of 6.12).

There's a Mesa DRI driver, called i965 (originally made for Broadwater chipset, thus the 965 numbering), which has since been replaced by either:

- Crocus for anything up to Broadwell (Gen 8)

- Iris for anything from Broadwell and newer

Then there's a Video Acceleration driver, which is (also) called i965. I think this is what you're referring to. There are:

- i965 (aka Intel VAAPI Driver), which supports anything from Westmere (Gen 5) to Coffee Lake (Gen 9.5)

- iHD (aka Intel Media Driver), is a newer one, which supports anything from Broadwell (Gen 8)

- libvpl, an even newer one, which supports anything from Tiger Lake (Gen 12) and up

Battlemage users had to use libvpl until recently because Media Driver 2024Q4 with BMG support was only released 2 weeks ago. Using libvpl with ffmpeg may requires rebuilding ffmpeg, as some distro doesn't have it enabled (due to conflict with legacy Intel Media SDK, so you have to choose).

I have B580 for my Linux machine (6.12), and xe seems pretty stable/performant so far.
As it turns out, the government actually has… the Government Accountability Office (GAO) as an agency to do just this. Agencies also have inspector general offices that focus on each of their respective agencies, too (Trump has tried to fire most of them, illegally). Congress also has the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which provides Congress with budgetary advice independent of the Executive branch.

The US Government is too large to be perfect. But I suspect it probably works far better, at scale, with less variance, and more nuance, than many HNers imagine.
Your comment is a common anti-immigrant trope: we're full/out of water/out of land/out of X!

Where there are shortages why should the solutions be focused on restricting immigration? Should people having children also be penalized?
lol I initially thought dylibso was the author, I was mistaken.
That being said - WASM has been steadily improving over time, yet it hasn't quite achieved mainstream adoption.

I'm curious what's holding it back?

It seems like despite its technical advancements, WASM hasn't captured the public's interest in the same way some other technologies have. Perhaps it's a lack of easily accessible learning resources, or maybe the benefits haven't been clearly articulated to a broader audience. There's also the possibility that developers haven't fully embraced WASM due to existing toolchains and workflows.

There isn't that much to know about this tape. It's just a spicy tape, and it's probably not very toxic. "The point" here is the story - the tweets and emails, the thought process.

I really liked it, and clearly a lot of people here liked it too! You're free to dislike it, but that doesn't make it pointless. There's more to humanity than pure, unadulterated facts (however important and interesting they really are!)
Doesn't mean they prioritise everything the same way. Plenty of people buy an expensive car and put cheap tires on it or what have you.
That's not how one off man and a truck builds normally work. Its usually only viable as a business when doing owner/builder on your own dime then flipping it and repeat. Clients don't want to wait years for one man, nor will banks, but someone will almost certainly buy even a half ass built house upon completion.

Sometimes you also see tradesman do this during down seasons, as it gives them a steady flow of stuff to do that they can complete almost as slow as they like then flip when done.

The buyer likely won't have any insight into the personal motivations of the builder, or what bothers them.
> but I’m sure we’ll still be using k8s (and COBOL) in 2125.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a bare metal hypervisor hosting Linux hosting K8S hosting V8 hosting a WASM-based IBM mainframe emulator running COBOL.
I think their point is that you see Twitter and Bluesky links shared to sites like hackernews or Reddit (ie the internet aggregators), but not anything from threads
And guess who gets use of that data in lawsuits between the manufacturer and you?!
this is why I want my next car to have physical dials.
"The main thing holding back wider adoption is a lack of system interfaces. File access, networking, etc. But it's just a matter of time before these features get integrated."

But then you've got to figure out and prevent all the security holes that can be introduced by adding file access, networking, etc. That's what killed the Java write-once, run-anywhere promise. Maybe put the whole thing into a container? Oops, looks like the container wasn't replaced after all (though perhaps it could be simplified).
We could name it the Abstract Window Toolkit and it would render the same on every platform. But then, someone would get butthurt about it having a "distinct look" and decide to make the Standard Widget Toolkit that uses native bindings. Fantastic that it stops that distinct look, with the small asterisk that you now have to ship .dll/.so/.dylib shims in your "cross platform" app

I'm no wasm expert, but I find it just fantastically unlikely that they're going to beat the decades of research that have gone into the JIT in the JVM anytime soon. But, I guess if the objective is just "run this bytecode in every browser on Earth," that ship has sailed and I will look forward to more copies of node infiltrating my machines
It worked! I haven't felt this thrilled with an Apple update since my iPad Pro became powerful enough to run a calculator!

But really, OMG, finally. I tried the process and it worked. Goodbye, legacy account I've been dragging along with me for the last decade!
> … it can't replace the encapsulation.

Can you explain your thoughts here? WebAssembly is sandboxed and effort must be expended to provide a mechanism for getting data through that boundary. How does that differ from “encapsulation?”
i vividly remember getting bitten by a poor example in the android documentation when i was a beginner. It was a typo and a weird use of the " | " to separate some values.

It took me hours to debug why it was faulty in my app, until i asked for help on a discord server and someone answered me saying that the same mistake happened to them a few months back...

It seems small, but it really does help.
Idk but if computers are drawing enough power to melt themselves just to play ray traced Minecraft or write boilerplate Python code, perhaps we've gone wrong somewhere.
"In the year 2030, no one will remember Kubernetes."

I feel like this prolog missed an important point. Kubernetes abstracts data centers: networking, storage, workload, policy. Containers implement workloads. They're at different layers.

And back to the article's point: WASM may well replace containerized workloads, indeed there are already WASM node runtimes for Kubernetes. Something else may well replace Kubernetes in five years, but it won't be something at the workload layer.
We wouldn't have blue leds if the Japanese used the American model
I don’t see how that is relevant to a model trained with RL. If it had already memorized the answers then why was any training necessary?
Just getting a visa has suddenly become near impossible it seems.

My daughter just applied as part of a small tour of models/entertainers that were going to help raise funds to build a church (in the US), and was denied, due they said, to no evidence there was anything to compel her to leave the US and return home.

She is a minor, still lives with us at home, and goes to senior high school, i mean, WTF? Also, I quote, she 'wouldn't want to live in US, if they paid (her) to'.

This same group have been going for several years now, but suddenly they were all denied this year.

The kicker is the visa fee of around $300 is forfeit, the denial notice says you can't appeal, but you can apply again, if you pay again. Riiggght.

I really feel scammed. Is it possible to sue? I know an Aussie friend who successfully sued Australian immigration in a similar case for example.
they think it is 'due to AI' because it helps push tech stocks; not due to any facts. I also recommend looking at this article's source (https://e-janco.com/career/employmentdata.html?srsltid=AfmBO...), apparently the Janco guys think its going to be be a better year for tech than last year. Trash journalism....
Is creating a Django backed reactjs (like nextjs but use django) a bad idea?
Hi folks,
I am a frontend software engineer (reactjs, nextjs) and have been working on python for AI related stuff for quite a few years.
I am wondering if creating something like nextjs but use Django as backend could be a bad/terrible idea or a good idea. What do you think? Thanks.

Here are the reasons behind this idea:

1. React (Nextjs) is wonderful for frontend while pythong works perfect for machine learning (at backend).

2. To demo or dev machine learning or AI related stuff we need some easy to start front-end framework. I have tried gradio but still wish the frontend could be replaced by reactjs.

3. Yes it's possible to create reactjs + Django app but think about reactjs + nodejs if comparing with nextjs.

What do you think?
