Respectfully disagree. It shows that the interpretation of the solution to a coding challenge is highly subjective.

How I use coding challenges when hiring is by first forming my opinion about a given approach. Did this person try to stand out? Does he/she use novel constructs? Stick to what they know? Do they “practice what they preach” on their resume/first round? Etc.

After this, discuss with a colleague to reduce bias/subjectivity. Finally, invite the candidate to discuss the solution. Ask them to review (parts of) their own code as they would a colleague’s PR. This way, the assignment becomes a tool to start a conversation.

Talking of trees and caches, back in school I remember learning about splay trees. I’ve never actually seen one used in a production system though, I assume because of the poor concurrency. Has anyone heard of any systems with tree rebalancing based on the workload (ie reads too not just writes)?
General question for anyone with this visual discomfort/headache problem: do you ever get dizzy or have feelings of vertigo after prolonged computer usage? I've had the usual eye strain and discomfort problems for years, but have recently started feeling dizzy to the point of nausea after a 6-8 hour shift at my computer. I also get these strange, extremely brief bouts of vertigo when I lean forward in certain directions (e.g. brushing my teeth).

I've seen my doctor about it and given my existing tinnitus/pulsatile tinnitus, she diagnosed me with BPPV which sounded reasonable to me. But the epley maneuvers don't do much of anything to help, and given these bouts of dizziness/vertigo are brought on/made worse by screen usage, I'm wondering if it's related to my eyes instead of my ears.

IMO neither is good for chronic pain management. Ibuprofen reduces blood flow to the kidneys which causes (chronically) cell death.

I do, but I find something surprisingly simple practically alleviates it for me: Take a break from the monitor every ~30 minutes, get up and go over to a window, and stare at something far away for at least ~30 seconds -- I count in my head because sometimes I get so into things at work I'll get distracted if I don't. I use a pomodoro timer to remind me, and I rarely have issues anymore.

As I get older and nearing 40 now, I'm realizing the wisdom in all these things I've been told throughout the years but never had to heed before: Take _frequent_ breaks from monitors. Strive to take daily brisk walks (keeps my bp in check). Drink enough plain water (keeps some of my frequent headaches at bay). And so forth.

iOS follows the game console model (even though the iPhone is a "smartphone" with additional non-game features). Games are responsible for something like 70% of iOS app store revenue, which Apple taxes via its platform fees, which are comparable to game console platform fees.

Unlicensed games are, of course, the killer app for sideloading on game consoles. IIRC free developer provisioning used to last up to a year or so (?), but Apple reduced it to a week after someone created a competing app store or web site that distributed unlicensed commercial games (as well as other software) by leveraging developer provisioning. (IIRC Sony analogously killed off Linux for PS3 once someone figured out how to leverage it to run unlicensed commercial games.)

If you pay $100/year for an official Apple Dev account I think you can still get one year provisioning. This probably won't make you or anyone on HN happy, but it does exist.

Especially at some of these bigger tech companies that have been around multiple decades. Im not a huge fan of Microsoft and their products. But man, you know there are probably a few hundred engines who are the bedrock of the company, if they disappeared tomorrow, Microsoft would probably be screwed. They probably work on the products and on areas you never hear about that never get flashy headlines. They are the people keeping the guts of Windows and all their multi-decade projects still pumping. Answering and fixing bug reports on these products.
Architecturally, it's very similar. We have the same vision! And they've done a great job, especially around writing to Iceberg. Some differences:

1. Our extension is fully open-source. I believe they've open-sourced bits of their stack.
2. We are unopionated about open table formats: Iceberg and Delta.
3. In v0.2, we will support small write workloads. This will open up time-series and HTAP workloads.
If you think there's an inviolable set of Ur rights that aren't intrinsically in conflict, then articulate them. Your inability to articulate them cogently suggests that they don't exist... not that every argument to the contrary is false because they must exist.

Hey! Yes, that's something I was planning to do—a complete documentation on the code, its architecture, and the entire stack to allow others to develop alongside me. I just deployed a functional version, and soon, the website will have documentation with its architecture and a visualization of the entire code.

Core Language: Go (chosen for performance, cross-platform compatibility, and single binary distribution)
CLI Framework: Cobra (for command-line interface structure)
LLM Integration: Ollama API (for embeddings and completions)
Storage: Local filesystem-based storage (JSON files for simplicity and portability)
Vector Search: Custom implementation of cosine similarity for embedding retrieval

well, pg_mooncake is a Postgres extension, and Postgres + pg_mooncake is still just Postgres. Users deploy pg_mooncake as a Postgres extension and write and query all tables through psql.

Fast analytic databases need two key things: columnar storage and a vectorized execution engine. We introduce a columnstore table access method in Postgres with data stored in Parquet) and execute queries on those tables using DuckDB.

By leveraging DuckDB's execution engine, we avoid reinventing vectorized query execution while keeping everything managed through Postgres.

Between this and other changes I worry they are just throwing more and more stuff at the wall to widen their browser moat.

Is command and commandfor actually a good idea? I understand the point of it, but it seems like yet another layer of cognitive load.

Instead why not just apply the same principle to CSS? If I could make a CSS selector for one element but have the result target other elements, then one could achieve the same results and more. It would require only a few more pseudo-selectors. And while it probably isn’t necessary, I think it might be prudent to mark the properties that undergo state changes. Something like:

#my-popover { display:= none; }
#my-button:click {
|> #my-popover {
display:= block;
}
}

Where `|>` retargets and the `=` indicates the property can undergo state changes. (Maybe the syntax could be better, but you get the idea.)

Show HN: The Council of Perspectives – AI Experts Discussing Any Problem
I built a proof-of-concept platform where multiple AI personas (powered by Claude, and eventually other LLMs) discuss technical problems from different perspectives. Think of it as a virtual engineering council where each AI takes on the personality of both a famous engineer (like Linus Torvalds or Grace Hopper) and a specific technical mindset (pragmatist, theorist, etc.).

The idea we are exploring here is that if we challenge the AI to take on different personas, it will prevent the AI from getting entrenched in its own opinion.

How it works:
- Put in your Anthropic API key (the whole app is frontend only, so keys dont travel anywhere other than your browser's local storage)
- Choose your council's profession (Engineering, Design, Product, etc.)
- Input your technical problem or question
- Watch as 3 AI personas discuss and debate the solution
- Each AI takes turns responding, building on previous answers
- Configurable number of turns per participant

Please note: The names of the personalities are fictional and don't have any effect on the discussion. Just there for some fun.

It is open-source so any and all changes, requests and feedback are welcome. But it will be highly preferred that the PRs come from code written using Cursor or Github Copilot or matching that code quality in terms of readability and maintainability.

Demo: https://the-council-of-perspectives.vercel.app/
GitHub: https://github.com/yashodhanmohan/the-council-of-perspective...

This is a very early prototype, but I'm curious to hear the community's thoughts on the concept of multi-agent AI discussions for technical problem-solving. Would love feedback on both the implementation and the broader idea.
There are lots of Chinese people whose last names use rare characters or variants that are not mapped in Unicode. Taiwan, which retains traditional characters and hasn't forced people to standardize as much as mainland China and Japan, is particularly notorious for this. There's also the whole Han unification debacle, where similar but not always identical characters used in Chinese/Japanese/Korean have been mushed together.

Support for some Indic scripts also remains quite patchy:

It’s less vertical integration than MS not actually taking the steps to control this market.

For example, the Precision touchpad, which was the first actual touchpad tech MS created, with Windows previously testing touchpads as mouses, has been released for a little more than a decade.

Touchpads had been around for over 4 decades and have been standard to laptops since the mid to late 90s.

And the worst part is that MS still allows hardware vendors to ship non Precision touchpads today.

MS won’t allow you to run windows 10, but vendors can ship touchpads that only support decades old software.

It’s very hard to get Windows manufacturers to pay attention to the touchpad when MS itself isn’t interested.

Unfortunately, the Windows domination in the non Apple part of the industry means that serious change is only driven by MS.

A lot of advantages we think Apple has due to vertical integration are more because MS is pretty terrible
> you would need to be implying that Elon's personal money should be paid to fund federal services.

I am. These payments are called taxes.

Taxes he's successfully evaded paying using the the same tricks as every other billionaire, such as taking out loans against his shares that will be repaid after his death by his estate, which has negligible tax rates compared to the kind of income taxes paid by mere mortals.

All joking aside, if Elon -- just him, no other billionaire -- had simply paid the same marginal tax rates as any random upper-middle-class citizen, it would be 10x the amount DOGE had cut so far from the federal budget.
