agree, especially on something as common as Redis. Being locked in is not worth the better perf on something already super-fast.

It is almost like Apple has an operations guy at the helm who doesn't understand software at all!
We provide some elements of ACID guarantees, but not full ACID compliance as traditionally defined in database systems:

Atomicity: Yes, for individual operations. Each key-value operation is atomic (it either completes fully or not at all).

Consistency: Partial. We ensure data validity through our conflict resolution strategies, but we don't support multi-key constraints or referential integrity.

Isolation: Limited. Operations on individual keys are isolated, but we don't provide transaction isolation levels across multiple keys.

Durability: Yes. Our persistence model allows for tunable durability guarantees with corresponding performance trade-offs.

So while we provide strong guarantees for individual operations, HPKV is not a full ACID-compliant database system. We've optimized for high-performance key-value operations with practical durability assurances rather than complete ACID semantics.

My first job out of college was mostly designing hardware and writing product user manuals for our industrial I/O interfaces. I agree: those massive Omega catalogs were like textbooks to me. I learned an enormous amount about sensors and how to interface to them and that knowledge is still useful decades later.

One thing missing in this discussion is that the audience is important. Omega Sensor catalogs are great for design engineers. OTOH, you can find a lot of the same products in a McMaster-Carr catalog, but their focus is on the buyer and they are well optimized to sell to that person.
Yep, Tim Cook = Steve Ballmer
Great thing about entropy is that adding more never hurts. This is one of many sources — both more conventional as well as unconventional — that we use. If it were to go offline, or somehow be corrupted, it wouldn’t hurt our ability to generate entropy across the Cloudflare network.

What I love about this, the lava lamp wall in San Francisco, and the double pendulums in London, is that it takes something very abstract and makes it tangible for our team and our customers.

> Is there such a boundary? How do you know a function doesn't call unsafe code without looking at every function called in it, and every function those functions call, and so on?

Yes, there is a boundary, and usually it's either the function itself, or all methods of an object. For instance, a function I wrote recently goes somewhat like this:

fn read_unaligned_u64_from_byte_slice(src: &[u8]) -> u64 {
assert_eq!(src.len(), size_of::<u64>());
unsafe { std::ptr::read_unaligned(src.as_ptr().cast::<u64>()) }
}

The read_unaligned function (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/fn.read_unaligned.html) has two preconditions which have to be checked manually. When doing so, you'll notice that the "src" argument must have at least 8 bytes for these preconditions to be met; the "assert_eq!()" call before that unsafe block ensures that (it will safely panic unless the "src" slice has exactly 8 bytes). That is, my "read_unaligned_u64_from_byte_slice" function is safe, even though it calls unsafe code; the function is the boundary between safe and unsafe code. No callers of that function have to worry that it calls unsafe code in its implementation.
unfortunately, I have a feeling that in the age of LLMs, this junior on the team will have no impetus to actually put in effort and _think_ about such a problem
Nurses do a lot of different jobs. AI can't add much to direct hands-on patient care. But many nurses work desk jobs doing things like chart review, case management, and patient outreach. There is huge potential to automate that work.

SSDs get this cheap exactly by sacrificing excess performance and endurance. You can get some of that back by treating your 2TB drive as a 1.5TB drive. For most people, the tradeoffs chosen by the manufacturer make more sense.

You’re assuming that there are any grownups left in the room. There’s really very little reason to think that.

I mean, this isn’t even just a Trump thing; countries commit economic suicide against expert advice surprisingly often. For a recent example see Brexit; there was _no_ conventional economist saying _that_ was a good idea.

You’re also assuming that minihands is even _trying_ to benefit the US (vs trying to, say, benefit himself). Again, that seems… naive.
Never mind "proving", there are plenty of low-effort steps they could take to foster trust (as outlined elsewhere in this thread) that they choose not to do. They choose not to meet even the bare minimum.

You wouldn't. It has little to do with the general discussion. It was quite clearly posted as an aside.

It came up because the previous commenter was on a train of thought where the general topic lead him to think about Theranos, which lead him to think about blood testing in general and thus questions about that arose.

That is how discussions occur. If that slide into a new topic doesn't interest you, you don't need to reply.

Can you explain more specifically the threats faced by your website? Please help us understand what attacks you are currently facing. Are you currently getting DDoSed? Did the DDoSer stop DDoSing when you blocked HTTP 1.1? Did your credit card chargebacks drop by 50%?

According to other commenters the main use case for HTTP/3 is ads serving. Should I assume your project is an ad server? I could disable HTTP/3 in my browser to block ads. You see that this is a bit silly, right?

Every Tesla is constantly recording, so if anyone has been within 50 feet of a Tesla, they already have your picture.
I can see numerous reasons why you'd want the backpack rather than a box on the bike for food delivery (may not apply for other deliveries):

- no need to fuss when you mount/dismount your bike, your backpack is already on your shoulders. Speed is key.

- the focus is not on carrying capacity, it's on speedy delivery. There's only so much food in their backpack.

- because of the time waiting for orders / going to the restaurant / going back to a hotspot, most of the time the backpack is actually empty.

- a box on the back of a bike costs money.
I was hoping it wouldn't. It does seem to give a reasonable etymology for "embiggen", though.
> At the same time, neither QUIC nor HTTP/3 are included in the standard libraries of any major languages including Node.js, Go, Rust, Python or Ruby. Curl recently gained supportopens in a new tab but it's experimental and disabled in most distributions.

That doesn't matter too much, since a certain "security" company is doing deep packet inspection and blocking anything that isn't Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.

Yeah it's reasonable. Unfortunately if you do it, and you run tools like Coverity, it'll produces reams of complaints about how you're leaking memory :-( There was one project which was genuinely a short-lived program that never needed to free memory, but in the end I gave in and added free() statements everywhere. Otherwise we could never have got it into RHEL.
I am not a lawyer but I have some experience in patents (I was granted 12 patents), can you send me:

- Some general information about your project features and working.

- The identity of the organization or the individuals who sent the letter, this is to identify their possible patents.

- The number identifying those patents that look like your hardware, to see if they originate from this organization.

- The claims in the letter (not the letter itself please)

- Two dates:

* First, the date that the organization claims to have made IP similar to your hardware

* Second at which date you made your project public

I promise you nothing and anyway, I am not a lawyer, and I have no connections with orgs like EFF.

Hass-mcp: Home Assistant MCP server to integrate with Claude
IMO the best way to go is a borosilicate glass bottle (handles frequent scrubbing and cleaning agents without problems) with a simple cap (no straw or sippy, mold/bacteria grows in there and it is impossible to clean out fully) a wide mouth (for easily getting a normal sized bottle brush inside) and with a fabric or rubber sleeve to avoid cracking when it inevitably gets bumped. Even then you'll need to occasionally check under the O-ring gasket in the cap for any bacterial growth; there's nothing like prying the gasket out and finding a couple of colonies of black mold staring back at you (ick) to ruin your day. Yes, it's heavy but most of us aren't using them in a situation where saving every gram counts.
Note that that is a doubly linked list, because it is a "soup of ownership" data structure. A singly linked list has clear ownership so it can be modelled in safe Rust.

I don't think it's any secret that the device can unintentionally activate in certain circumstances (and whether or not that's due to it thinking it heard its name is another debate)... but my problem with OP's statement is that they seem to frame it as if it's intentionally and maliciously listening more often than it should, and I just don't see any evidence to support that claim.

This is a fantastic example of applying deception strategies in practice as part of a detection & response plan. The most common use case is as a canary, but it absolutely works as evidence of compromise, too.

I won't comment on the specifics of the case (the complaint comes across as very convincing), but I will remind people that it's common for investigations to ostensibly show an employee doing bad things, when in reality it's e.g. that employee's credentials/devices that are compromised.
And many are not. How many Python shops are living in the past? It’s the same problem everywhere.

Fantasy is such an underappreciated genre. I recently read an ARC on RoyalRoad of all places by one of our own (it’s called Farisa’s Crossing) and was blown away.

The way I explain it to my friends who only read contemporary literary fiction is that fantasy is what we’ve been doing as storytellers for thousands of years, which means there’s a lot of implicit knowledge in the craft when done at the highest levels. I also enjoy literary fiction for the writing and the sheer talent it takes to make ordinary, believable events nearly fantastic—or at least compelling—but it’s not either/ or and the idea that there’s some hierarchy of genres is hogwash.
Not really related to this post specifically, but my opinion on Cloudflare is slowly shifting from "really like them" to "they're actually hostile to indie devs".

Almost a month ago now my account was incorrectly charged for a pro plan I didn't have --- aside from the week+ long waits between replies from support, they refuse to refund me until the engineering problem is fixed. I'm still waiting for a reply to my follow-up mail from last week.

Yea, $25 is not much - but as an indie dev this makes me HUGELY nervous if that amount had even 1 more zero after it.

I agree, and an article on tech brain drain to Europe would be interesting! But the worst thing for HN is that it becomes another Reddit, full of posts about US politics and comments about political views with no substance.

Stock and equity aren't really formotivating employees. They're for attracting employees, and then aligning their goals with those of the shareholders.

The first software startup I worked at didn't give out equity, and when the sales guys closed big deals with aggressive delivery timelines we hated it because it just meant more work for us. Many of my teammates passive aggressively dragged their feet, but if we'd had equity we would've been high-fiving the sales guys after landing big clients.
