I wouldn't see this as the win for the team.
The real win here would be:

* Understanding where the issues and bottlenecks are coming from
* Understanding how it came to these issues
* Figuring out how to resolve the issues without changing the whole tech stack

That way, the team would end up with a deeper understanding of their organisational issues leading to it, understanding of their code, cost of services, cost of the ecosystem and cost of computation. They would have been able to apply this knowledge to other projects in the company running the same stack.

The way this is written is basically sweeping the problems under the carpet with "tech slow, new tech fast" solution, while simultaneously letting the team keep doing whatever it is they were doing that made this slow. This is nothing but a surface level rewrite without understanding the real cause of the pain.
> The once-obscure devices experienced a surge in popularity in Europe after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine sent gas prices soaring.

This feels, ah, ahistorical. Looks like sales grew steadily from ~750k/y in 2013 to 1.5m/y in 2020, then surged. Hardly 'obscure'; at least in Ireland most new houses had them by the late 10s (it was quite difficult to meet the buildings energy performance directive without them).

What really happened in particularly 2021-2023 was that people were replacing existing non-eol gas boilers with heat pumps, as rising gas prices made this more financially attractive.
Good point. I suppose doing a runtime type-check is possible if using the ORM, too.
Most of the benchmarks comparing msquic with other libraries are showing it on top.

That's the reason we decided to go ahead and see how it performs within our Go lang code base.

On our setup we are seeing a 50% latency reduction compared with other implementations. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for performance.
I was recently at a local IT meetup, a majority of us were senior developers. And a topic took turn to browsers and Chrome at some point, so of course I've had to voice my two cents about Chrome monopoly and Firefox :) . A few guys were genuinely surprised and asked me "You are using Firefox?" as if it was something unthinkable. To me this was incomprehensible. I'm using FF on Windows since beta and FF on Android since its release and I'm baffled why doesn't anyone else (well, advertising is the answer of course).
Oh. Then in fact you will find the answer in a search engine, incredibly easily. But I apologise for assuming you were involved in a mechanical folie à deux. (It could happen!)
I was talking more abstractly, in that understanding a given feature to be able to configure it properly is not optional (besides asking someone else to handle some part of the complexity e.g. third party authentication services in this case).
Great article! However the kick into MSFS imo isn’t necessary, as it appears to use blade theory and CFD just as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32073528

Well no, startup is fast, period. You're probably just giving the class loader a ton of work on startup? I would start with checking that I think.

It could also be when he's hitting "run test" it's actually "compile and run"...

Funny, on the in-app browser of Harmonic it still goes on-by-one. Firefox on mobile also instantly loads.

MSFS 2024 has career mode with flying lessons. Initially buggy, but imo will be fine in a few months.
I used to get these two or three times a year, but then I had heart surgery last summer and had five in the first day after I came round from the anesthetic, and two or three every day for weeks after that. They've now settled down to one every few days. Annoying, but they go away fairly quickly and just leave me feeling a bit tired and headachy for a few hours.

Anyhoo, to answer OPs question -- we live 10 minutes outside our town, and my kids play video games together with their friends. Sometimes via in-game chat, but just as often by playing a game on the same server and calling each other on the phone.

Personally, I'm still old-school. I call my friends and family on the phone and talk to them.
Here's how to tell, far easier: take the number of people receiving checks in that age bracket. From what I read, it was 44,000 ish, but I can't verify that. If it's not - it's still going to be a number far less than 20 million.

Do all those people have correct data? If not, correct that. If they do, then there's no fraud.

And even after that, even if the data is incorrect, it doesn't mean there's fraud. You have to go case by case to check if they're actually being collected and not just sitting somewhere.

So .. yes. There's potential for fraud, but we're not going to (accurately) know about the scale for a long time, and it's definitely not going to be on the scale of 20 million recipients.
But in fact the punch is a metaphore for the feeling you can have each day that you get a glimpse of your boss, who does not care about you and provides you with busy work. And that feeling sticks the rest of the day. The try, read learn easily gets changed for staring at the tail of a dead squirrel, or at a thrashcan for that matter.
I am a beginner and never used Pi-Hole before.

I checked that Pi-Hole can run on Raspberry pi zero as per the GitHub. But would you recommend to use Raspberry Pi 5 2 GB or 4 GB RAM instead of Raspberry Pi zero. I don't have any Raspberry Pi and I intend to make a new purchase.
Speculation with positive expected return is a good thing. So the question is, does fusion have positive expected return?

The world spends 10% of global GDP on energy, about $10 trillion per year. The world will spend something like a quadrillion dollars on energy this century, possibly more as the world gets wealthier and per capita energy use increases. A billion dollar investment is just one part in a million of that. Fusion doesn't have to be very likely to succeed to make such speculation worthwhile.
As others have noted, it's not a pure byproduct and if you believe that the way we treat cattle is immoral, singling out one industrial scale consumer of animal products in a web of interconnected and interdependent industries and saying changing them won't change the bigger picture is in isolation correct. But it misses the bigger picture, if you believe for ideological reasons, that there is no moral way to use animals at industrial scale - the same way that thinking of slavery as something negative is a subjective ideological stance, one that wasn't the mainstream opinion of many societies over time - dismantling the leather industry won't get you all the way there, but it's a step.

To take a personal stance, I draw the arbitrary line at insects, I'm fine with farming plants and insects in some kind of harmony with nature, but not mammals or fish. Live on earth is a co-op, you don't win by being the last species standing.
Pip installs packages, but it provides rather limited functionality for actually managing what it installed. It won't directly spit out a dependency graph, won't help you figure out which of the packages installed in the current environment are actually needed for the current project, leaves any kind of locking up to you...

I agree that uv is the N+1th competing standard for a workflow tool, and I don't like workflow tools anyway, preferring to do my own integration. But the installer it provides does solve a lot of real problems that Pip has.
Hilt: A tiny text game engine
You do realize that Java is objectively less verbose than Go? Even on a vanilla language to vanilla language basis, but let alone against something like Spring Boot that does almost everything for you in a typical CRUD application.

Annotations are declerative shorthands. How is a trivial spring boot endpoint with methods with a single @GET line above them denoting the endpoint verbose?

What about a single SQL query in an annotation above an interface method's name? Will your whole implementation of connect to db, execute query, iterate over the resulting rows, and convert them to some native object/struct shorter than.. 2 lines?
How is that related to a dictatorship though? The executive comes under the control of its democratically elected head, which is pretty normal and not considered a dictatorship.

Forget the police, I thought the US president actually has much more direct and undisputed power over the military than some other executive agencies, which could be much more dangerous in the wrong hands, yet that is still is not considered a dictatorship (e.g., not even when Obama ordered the extrajudicial execution of a US citizen and was protected by presidential immunity, nor when past presidents have launched undeclared wars of aggression or interventions and bombing campaigns against sovereign nations), at least not in mainstream political thinking.

This EO seems like just shuffling responsibility around within the executive, moving interpretation of laws directly under the president rather than delegating it out to various unelected bureaucrats in different agencies making their own interpretations. I'm sure there are argument for and against it but it doesn't seem outlandish, or an kind of crazy power grab beyond what the executive branch already has.
> 1 file, 2 files, N files, why does it matter how many files?

One file is better for sharing than N, you can post it in a messenger program like Slack and easily copy-and-paste (while this becomes annoying with more than one file), or upload this somewhere without needing to compress, etc.

> I can't think of any other language where "I want my script to use dependencies from the Internet, pinned to precise versions" is a thing.

This is the same issue you would have in any other programming language. If it is fine for possibly having breakage in the future you don't need to do it, but I can understand the use case for it.
> "I think it's going very well," Trump said of efforts to end the war. "But today I heard, oh, 'Well, we weren't invited.' Well, you've been there for three years. You [Ukraine] should have ended it three years -- you should have never started it."

Ah, I see Putin has gotten the ol' piss tape out of storage.
Don’t use it in production, problem solved.

I find this feature amazing for one-off scripts. It’s removing a cognitive burden I was unconsciously ignoring.

Thank them in the acknowledgements.
Right now you can't run it that cheap at home.

You need to pay energy bill, do the update/upgrade and you need to build a LLM rig.

Nvidias Digits Project could be very interesting, but this box will cost 3k.

We are a lot closer to running it at home than i assumed we would but plenty of people prefer SaaS over doing stuff themselves.
Imagine this, if you provide state of the art free education with all the trimmings. Will the voter become more stupid?

Back in the days in NL we had university grads stocking shelves in the supermarket. It was hard to see the point of it.

How useful that was became obvious when it was abolished and political parties pretty much had to explain their program as if the voter was 5 years old. The thing is, hardly anything is that simple. Picture a field with spherical cows all over.

Everything comes with an explanation simplified to the point it becomes a lie.

Every politician needs to carefully keep up with the basket of lies. More and more lies are added on top. One might as well start lying for real and profit from it. If the lion share of voters buys into everything anyway???

You’ve literally described DOGE. It uses this exact structure.
Exclusive access is nice, but not necessary.

BEVs used just for city driving need to be charged about once a week, so you just plug in when there's an opportunity. A basic 7kW charger is enough to charge full battery overnight.

I think OP was saying to look at when the package was build instead of explicitly adding a timestamp. Of course, this would only work if you speficied `requests@1.2.3` instead of just `requests`.

This looks like a good strategy, but I wouldn't want it by default since it would be very weird to suddenly having a script pull dependencies from 1999 without explanation why.

As for the present political climate, yes the old guard in opposition who paid $$$$$$$$$$$ to big business during covid and told the likes of poorer self employed folks albeit in semantics and run around to go fuck themselves, have basically fallen to zombie sheep grooming by way of their favourite tv media Sky meows and any other big business backed media outlets and lately trying quite hard to copy the Trump play manual as WTF - it actually worked.

> all the "complication" and "bloat", but then just end up with homegrown unmaintainable crap that does half of what the frameworks offer for significantly more effort.

I don't see how you deduct the conclusion of reinventing wheels is the only solution of overcomplex and far from ideal frameworks. But you can categorise this deduction also.
In the UK (and probably most of Europe) there is already regulation requiring new residential parking and garages to have a grid connection installed, to be able to easily add chargers at residents' request (even if they're renting).
That's a pytorch issue. The solution is, as always, build from source. You will understand how the system is assembled, then you can build a minimal version meeting your specific needs (which, given wheels are a well-defined thing, you can then store on a server for reuse).

Cross-OS (especially with a VM like Java or JS) is relatively easy compared to needing specific versions for every single sub-architecture of a CPU and GPU system (and that's ignoring all the other bespoke hardware that's out there).
It's easy, you look past silly shit like race and gender and treat people like you want to be treated. We were starting to make progress before the picked fences elitists that were the most isolated from actual diversity decided it would be a good idea to ram wokness down everyone's throats. So far all it's done is make everyone hate each other for no good reason...oh and we all seem to be a lot poorer to.
Now ask: what is the power density of their proposed reactor?

The predecessor, the ARC reactor in the 2014 paper, had a power density of 0.5 MW/m^3.

In comparison, a commercial PWR, which you can buy today, has a power density of 20 MW/m^3.

So, even with all the HTSC hype, their machine is still a factor of 40 worse than existing proven fission technology.

How is such a bloated, much more complex machine even going to compete with fission, never mind the alternatives that have sidelined new fission construction? The capex will be completely out of bounds.

LOL what is this nonsense?

"Lead’s toxicity was recognized and recorded as early as 2000 BC and the widespread use of lead
has been a cause of endemic chronic plumbism in several societies throughout history. The
Greek philosopher Nikander of Colophon in 250 BC reported on the colic and anemia resulting
from lead poisoning. Hippocrates related gout to the food and wine, though the association
between gout and lead poisoning was not recognized during this period ( 450-380 BC). Later
during the Roman period, gout was prevalent among the upper classes of Roman society and is
believed to be a result of the enormous lead intake."

How about we use solar panels to collect that energy? And then we add batteries to fix holes in supply when the panels can’t see the power source.
You’re not looking at the entire cost. What are the end of life procedures when fuel is exhausted?
There were many, many studies.

Answer: minimal, but measurable, compared to other sources.

So worth getting rid of eventually, but not a major priority.
Not entirely. Non rich people own houses. If your average person buys a house for 200k, it goes up to 400k and then they have to move to an identical house also costing 400k, getting a bill for 200k of income is going to annoy them. Just one example why gains are taxed differently.

A lot of Zinc plating (almost all galvanizing) has lead in it. It’s a common component of lead/zinc alloys (many Zamac alloys).

Lead in general is also a common component of ‘impure’ zinc (from the mine/foundry).

So chances are, your tests are correct.

Synthetic, non-vegan*:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_fiber

If you care that cows only express milk after birth and thus the industry is a combination of forced pregnancy and infanticide (most calves aren't economical), that's a long-winded way of saying "milk is immoral", and people quite often go from "$thing is immoral" to "I will not purchase $thing".

* Or at least, can be non-vegan: there's bacterial sources of casein but I don't know how economically relevant that is.
You're correct. Without strong externally-imposed restraint, capitalism will happily externalize its costs and crush some people.
Firstly, the 97Bn was for the non-profit, not for the company. The company is being valued in funding rounds closer to 300Bn. I think it may be true that OpenAI has no moat, but if it has no moat then all of these AI companies are overvalued (including xAI) and Elon should just stop bothering to throw his money at it. I would say Elon probably actually doesn't have much of an advantage here. In both SpaceX and Tesla he was able to do something no competitor could do - raise cash. Car companies simply couldn't invest in tech research to build self-driving to compete with Tesla. SpaceX consumed enormous amounts of cash before anyone saw value. That is a unique skill that Elon had over the 2010s.

That is not an advantage in a race against Microsoft, Google, Meta etc. he's competing against all the biggest companies in the world in this race. He's not going to be able to outspend them if the economics look at all sensible.
Show HN: Vetpkg.dev – open-source Package Security Dashboard
Hello HN! I want to share a new open source project I built. https://vetpkg.dev/ The goal is to provide a single view for developers and security engineers with all the information they need to make a decision about safety of an open source package.

As the developer of https://github.com/safedep/vet, I often get feedback from users that installing and setting up vet in CI/CD with custom policies takes time. A web page using which anyone can quickly see package security metadata is a good start for engineers to quickly get new OSS packages approved internally.

vetpkg.dev is open source, developed at https://github.com/safedep/vetpkg.dev It is a simple frontend over APIs that we built by aggregating public and private data sources on OSS package security and code analysis.

vetpkg.dev also aggregates data from our OSS package code analysis tool that we run on all new PyPI and npm packages to proactively detect malicious code.

Love to hear if it helps you make a decision about adopting OSS packages quickly within your SDLC.
