Yeah, The metric that got you promoted is cool and all, but if my application works on files atomically, it's the time until last byte that has meaning to me.

I'm also gonna assume a bit more, and say it's also the byte where the service can start processing someone else's connection. So if http/3 increases the load on servers, with their CPU, instead of network hardware, with their ASIC, this would be a net loss as soon as you look at amount of complete requests per energy used. Instead of just looking at single session metrics.

I guess I should probably read the HTTP/3 spec now...

Show HN: SaaSPopup – Real-Time Social Proof Popups for SaaS Conversions
Hey HN, I built SaaSPopup (https://www.saaspopup.com/), a lightweight tool to display real-time subscription notifications on websites—like “Someone in London just subscribed!”—to boost trust and conversions. It integrates with Stripe, LemonSqueezy, and RevenueCat, and I launched it on Product Hunt today.

The idea came from experimenting with social proof on my own projects. I noticed live activity (vs. static counters) creates urgency and credibility, especially for SaaS and e-commerce. SaaSPopup makes it plug-and-play:

- One-line script, live in ~5 minutes.

- Pulls verified purchases with location data.

- Customizable templates, colors, animations (no code).

- $8.99/month per site, no limits on notifications.

It’s a solo dev effort, built to stay simple and fast—minimal footprint on site performance. Early tests showed a ~25% conversion lift for some setups, though it varies by audience.

Curious what you think:

Useful for your projects?
Any integrations or tweaks you’d want?
How do you handle social proof now?

Thoughts welcome!
Very cool! If this become stable and "resource-cheap" enough I'd love to go back to parallax backgrounds
It's got a relative ton of memory for a microcontroller, which can make some things really easy

When you combine that with the powerful PIO, you get something that's really solid for:

* Game / system emulation
(You can easily emulate a mac128k on a pico, for example, without having to add an external SRAM.)

* Programming it in Python
(Less need to worry about the memory overhead)

* Projects involving a display and/or possibly very very very simple camera image acquisition and analytics

The ADC isn't too bad either. It's quite a bit better than the one on the ESP32 though worse than what you'll get with a dedicated ADC or those on a lot of 8-bit micros, but then you have to deal with the limitations of programming an atmega or something.
The language and stdlib feel like a more polished Ruby, though I haven't explored it in deep. The tooling, last I checked, is what's behind - the interpreter didn't work for simple apps, and the LSP is slow and full of bugs.

Primaries are by and for the parties themselves. They get to set the rules for how they determine what candidates they put on their tickets.

It's not like we're talking about the actual election here.
The value of UB is to clearly document what the obligations are for valid programs.

I think an argument can be made for C (where annex J exists), but this definitely doesn't apply to C++. Hence the long languishing of P1705.

I would also disagree for C though, because annex J can only cover explicit UB by definition and there's the entire category of implicit UB outside that.
This is just a phrase in an article, there is no reason to believe it reflects the reality in any way. For example, the guy faced a sceptical advisor's response to his proposal.

Back of the napkin math:

Googling the TFlops as an estimate of power shows a roughly 12x improvement on the H100 over the 4090. A single 4090 takes 160 hours so a single H100 should take about 13 hours.

AWS will rent a p5.48xlarge instance of 8xH100 for $31.464/hr. That will take roughly two hours and cost around $60 bucks.

Assume I'm off by an order of magnitude, this is still a reasonable cost to recover key infrastructure. If the $60/endpoint stands then it would be reasonable to recover workstations this way

I'd consider a tablet to be a convenient form factor for people working with front-end tools (e.g. porting a browser to RISC-V etc) as they don't then need to find another spare power cable and a spare monitor to connect to an SBC. My view is that this is a step along the way to building RISC-V hardware for end-users.

I'd guess that they chose this form-factor because they could build it relatively easily and at low cost.

> 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?

The point is that you don't need to. The guarantees compose.

> The usual retort to these questions is 'well, the standard library uses unsafe code

It's not about the standard library, it's much more fundamental than that: hardware is not memory safe to access.

> If Rust did not have a mechanism to use external code then it would be fine

This is what GC'd languages with runtimes do. And even they almost always include FFI, which lets you call into arbitrary code via the C ABI, allowing for unsafe things. Rust is a language intended to be used at the bottom of the stack, and so has more first-class support, calling it "unsafe" instead of FFI.

Show HN: Supadex – A Mobile Dashboard for Supabase to Manage Your Data on the Go
Hey Hacker News! I’m excited to share Supadex, a mobile app I’ve been working on to make managing Supabase projects easier for developers and teams.

Supadex is a dashboard that puts your Supabase data in your pocket. You can monitor real-time auth stats, check recent sign-ups, browse tables and buckets, run SQL queries with a built-in editor, and customize the app to fit your workflow—all from your phone. It’s designed for anyone using Supabase who wants quick access to their database without being tethered to a desktop.

We just launched a Lifetime plan, so you can get full access with a one-time payment—no recurring fees. I’d love to hear your feedback or answer any questions about building with Supabase + mobile! Check it out here: https://www.supadex.app/
Trump's on and off tariffs and seeming capricious nature would make me want to find other partners ... even if the US were to cut a deal. You just never know.
FWIW, my rule of thumb was to avoid more than 3 cycles worth of stuff in view.

1) In Progress --> Started --> Completed: One cycle worth of WIP

2) Next Up: WIP for the next cycle (top third is highest priority, remainder is unknown priority until the cycle starts, these items are up for discussion)

3) Unscheduled backlog: Max count is less than 1 cycle worth of material

I've worked with small teams that can digest 5-10 "items/stories" in a cycle, for them there shouldn't be more than 30 items in view.

I've worked with larger teams that digested 30-40 items in a cycle and for them, seeing ~120 items was fine.

For larger teams, the work items tended to get broken down into smaller chunks as the communication overhead and carrying costs of implicit details was much higher.

How tactical, how coarse and how goal-oriented these work items are can vary widely by team/org interests and capabilities.

Forget the drafting chaos. With one click, you get engagement-optimized, polished content that turns heads and sparks conversations.
I feel another way to look at it is that there is a growing divide between the "fronted/backend developer" view of an application and the "ops/networking" view - or put differently, HTTP2 and HTTP3 are not really "application layer" protocols anymore, they're more on the level of TCP and TLS and are perceived as such.

As far as developers are concerned, we still live, have always lived and will always be living in a "plaintext HTTP 1.1 only" world, because those are the abstractions that browser APIs and application servers still maintain. All the crazy stuff in between - encryption, CDNs, changing network protocols - are just as abstracted away as the different hops of an IP packet and might just as well not exist from the application perspective.
Just pointing this out in case it's helpful: there's tons of great discussion of this topic elsewhere in the thread!
> Purchasing power adjustments would also probably favor Europe I guess.

I doubt it. Germany and especially Switzerland have a quite hight cost of living. Coming from Canada, I get sticker shock every time I go to the US because of how cheap everything is. I had the opposite reaction going to Europe (except for Italy).

His ability to speak out of both sides of his mouth is why no one trusts him, and why I find it so uncomfortable to agree with anything he says.
My argument is that using these non-standard extensions to do important things like memory management in a C library is malpractice—it effectively locks down the library to specific C compilers. I'm sure that's fine if you're writing to clang specifically, but at that point, you can just write C++. libfreetype & stb_* are used and continue to be used because they can be relied on to be portable, and using compiler-specific extensions (without ifdefs) defeats that. If I relied on a clang-specific `defer`, I'm preventing my library from possibly being compiled via a future C compiler, let alone the compilers that exist now. To me, that's the point of writing C instead of C++ for a library (unless you're just a fan of the simplicity, which is more of an ideological, opinion-based reason).
Revenue, EBITDA/EBITDA multiples, and/or discounted cashflow. Valuations were potentially useful during ZIRP when capital was chasing any yield it could (lottery tickets), but in "higher for longer" interest rate macros, cashflow and profits are king (versus capital furnaces promising future profitability with no proof that event will ever arrive). If you're not yet profitable, you're not a business, you're an experiment not yet proven (which is fine, that's the whole point of being a startup). The valuation is based on hope otherwise.
Fair enough. I was thinking about “PC” in the literal since not the common vernacular - x86 + Microsoft OS

but what turned out to be a big problem (not enough IP addresses for clients) was solved by CGNAT and a simple market (for servers)

> There is no guarantee that sizeof(long) > sizeof(int), in fact the GNU libc documentation states that int and long have the same size on the majority of supported platforms.

That used to be the case for 32-bit platforms, but most 64-bit platforms in which GNU libc runs use the LP64 model, which has 32-bit int and 64-bit long. That documentation seems to be a bit outdated.

(One notable 64-bit platform which uses 32-bit for both int and long is Microsoft Windows, but that's not one of the target platforms for GNU libc.)
That's the point. We don't do that. You link to the system libcurl dynamically and everyone is told to do the same.

If you want to use a private curl as an implementation detail then the only safe way to do it is to ship a .so, make sure all the symbols are private and that symbol interposition is switched off.

If you ship a .a then the final link can always make symbols public again.

It's justified for gays to support Israel on the grounds that Israel is socially liberal (or that Palestinian society is illiberal, which it is).

It's not so smart for gays to be cavalier about 'left and liberal' groups considering how recent and how tenuous any tolerance of homosexuality is within right-wing and conservative groups.

That might be a horribly obvious and boring thing to write, but it's the sad truth.
Deploying QUIC led to substantial p95 and p99 latency improvements when I did it (admittedly a long time ago) in some widely used mobile apps. At first we had to correct our analysis for connection success rate because so many previously failing connections now succeeded slowly.

It's a material benefit over networks with packet loss and/or high latency. An individual human trying to accomplish something in an elevator, parking garage, or crowded venue will care about a connection being faster with a greater likelihood of success.
