@dang - Seems like a troll to me.
Parallel doesn't really help that much IME, but batching your work into larger transactions to amortize locks and fsyncs does.
Addendum: I've upvoted you because I don't think anyone should be downvoted just for expressing an opinion about art, as long as they do it politely.

> I actually think Naussica is his best movie

I don't agree but I love Nausicaa's visuals. They are also hauntingly beautiful. I owe it to myself to get the manga, too.
I built a tool to visualize different amounts of money in 3D
Hi everyone,

I built Cash-Stack, a simple web app that lets you visualize different amounts of money in 3D.

You can visualize things like 1 Bitcoin, Elon Musk's net worth or Estimated Training Costs for GPT-4, all represented as stacks of $100 bills and compare it to objects like a rubber duck, tesla cybertruck or the statue of liberty.
I made this because I always struggled to really grasp how much money some of these numbers represent.

Live here → cash-stack.com

Would love feedback! What other amounts and comparison objects would you find interesting?
Well, you could at least move to Approval voting instead of first past the post.

Or you could try sortition, which you haven't even considered at all.
I too am looking for a tool that can decently mirror sites. The next best thing is something like Instapaper or Obsidian Clipper which export copies of a site (into markdown, in the latter's case).
From my reading, the article is about how e-bikes are proving to be economically viable and how that benefits the environment. Even more positive is that they are becoming available locally in a way that is accessible to a delivery driver on a fixed low income. Those things seem like something to be pretty optimistic about.
That interview doesn't really say much. It is mostly an carefully worded, polite but empty statement made after earlier extemporaneous comments by Suni and Butch seemingly contradicted Musk. The headline claim is basically just Butch saying he has no insight into the decision process but he trusts Musk is telling the truth.

In contrast other articles Eric wrote talking to people who where involved in the decision of how and when to return Butch and Suni, those officials clearly state that the decision was made for technical and programmatic reasons, not political pressure.
This reminds me that I once worked in one city, and attended university in another city.

At some point, there were train lines works that lasted for a few years, which meant that almost any train ride was delayed. You got a ticket back for half an hour delay, and two for a full hour.

In addition, my workplace paid me a set amount of money to cover ttain travel expenses for each work day.

I think that for most of my studies I effectively didn't pay for train travel, and had time to work while on the train.

You did have to wait in line to get the ticket after the train ride, and the train officer wasn't too happy about giving out tickets, bit it usually worked...
"Computation irreducibility"[0] is Mr. Wolfram's word for it and I believe it has some relationship to his CA physics, but I won't pretend I understand.

Would they cover it on TV news?

There's little-to-no discussion about the implications on tech, based on my reading of the comments.

Just general politics and nationalism.
At least he's an African American.
As a non american: America can get away with a lot more than this and still be an attractive place to try to move to. SF and many other places offer job opportunities the EU can't, and despite this and much more pain of trying to work there it's still worth it.

but we all can agree that glibc is trash right? :)

I’d be careful extrapolating from just one benchmark but generally if I had to choose I’d pick the new tcmalloc if I could. It seems to be a higher quality codebase.
Eat your grain and don't pollute peon! No pork chops for you in New World!
And he is homeless and can't find a full time job so my point stands proven.
Agreed! Curious what your base OS is. Mine has been Ubuntu LTS for years, but now I find myself installing so many custom tools like these I'm thinking I might want to move to NixOS or Gentoo or something like that instead. I just don't want to lose out on stability and great hardware support.
You're right, they're probably not critical enough.
> Or maybe it’s because I was born in an "undesirable" Middle Eastern country and have brown skin. One time I was detained for 5 hours and were questioned about "Islam" (ironically, I'm a Christian so I couldn't answer their questions).

Scary levels of prejudice and ignorance there. Prejudice against Muslims and I am guessing not knowing about Middle Eastern Christians exist.
> communicate the effect of the change as quickly as possible

This should happen in the title of the PR overall. In larger projects, a single commit is rarely pushed alone. Personally, I use it as a checkpoint to save progress rather than really it being a meaningful piece of work. But then again, I rarely work on projects with lots of people, so this may not be wholly perfect for that use case.
Free-Threaded Wheels
Python 3.13 has finally introduced free threading, which is a big deal. I initially thought we wouldn't be able to use this in production for ages since packages would need time to adapt. Surprisingly, it looks like it might be ready for real-world use much sooner than I expected.
> Wow - only Google seemed to really prioritize fixing this / had the processes and manpower to get a fix out quickly.

I would have guessed they'd be the quickest, but I wouldn't have guessed they'd be months ahead of the others.

Hitler was a foreigner who caused trouble in Germany, to put it mildly.

You are right however, that he wasn't a puppet.

If that's the case, then the comparable motor scooters should be deregulated as well.
Since it’s a trend it comes and goes, and the behavior spreads in a manner similar to fashion trends.

Google pics for it, can you think of any other reason for an orca to wear a salmon on their head.

Song birds also have similar fashions in what they choose to sing and that spreads much faster than evolution can explain.
Disingenuous take, did you even read the article?

1) She was not detained in connection with any crime whatsoever. At no point was her company's use of THC stated as a reason for detainment.

2) You have invented the idea that her second job was fake. If it were, then fraud could have been a crime and reason for detainment- but again, the article makes it clear no crime was charged or cited.

3) You are right that plenty of non-white people are also going through this. I wish that was also enough to motivate people to care.

The point is that removing due process for anyone is a threat to everyone. It could be you next. You might think, "Not if I'm a citizen and not a criminal" - but the whole point of due process is getting the opportunity to prove that you are in fact a citizen and not a criminal. That right is eroding.
He is the living embodiment of the results of the H1B program.
I agree. Going back further, we see the innovation drivers were God providing for man (Bible), people providing for their needs/wants at a societal level (most systems), individuals pursuing what they enjoy, seemingly random acts that go against reason, etc.

This was enacted via specific processes (human brain) using resources and their environment within their constraints, sometimes surplus. It involved local and global phenomenon that were dependent and independent.

In short, it's nothing like cellular automata or most simplistic models of the world. We'd have to model the above within this world's laws to know what drives innovation among humans in this world.
Show HN: I made a native macOS Twitch client
Kulve is a highly optimized Twitch client built from the ground up for Apple silicon Macs. It features up to 5x the efficiency of the web experience and is fully ingrained into macOS.

Main features:

- Incredibly lightweight and efficient steam playback using Apple's native video player

- Third party emote support (7TV, BTTV, etc)

- Support for Twitch's paid services, such as stream subscriptions and Twitch Turbo.

- Seamless chatting experience. Kulve's chat UI is handled entirely in-house and designed to be as fluid and ergonomic as possible, utilizing the raw power of M series CPUs to power chats of 100k+ concurrent users.

- Battery life. On Kulve, the last thing you will be concerned about is having to find a charger to keep watching your favorite stream. Whether you're focused on the stream or have Kulve running in the background while you're doing other work, Kulve will have 0 impact on your workflow.

When Kulve was still in beta, Sourav Dev Sahu took an early look and had great things to say about it. They also left us with some closing thoughts on areas to improve—and we listened! Since then, we’ve launched a complete and total UI redesign with a more focused and polished design language. If you tried Kulve early on, now is a fantastic time to check it out again.

Read the full review here: https://techpp.com/2024/10/22/kulve-a-native-twitch-app-for-... and let us know what you think!

Another early adopter, the talented Andrew Salfinger from Made by Campfire (www.madebycampfire.com), not only liked the app so much to give us a review, but also went the extra mile to create the official Kulve logo/app icon that you see today.

These passionate early adopters are what kept the possibility of App Store launch in scope and we are incredibly thankful for their support over the course of development, all the way from concept to reality.
It absolutely does not matter what language this tool is written in. That goes for any tool. If it’s better, use it.
In this case, fd is far superior to “find” in almost every way. Sane defaults, wayyy faster, easy options (just use cht.sh if you can’t remember) To me, there is no reason to ever use “find”. If I’m on a new system, I just install fd and carry on.
I also maintain a decades-old Macintosh that is kept simply for offline tax / accounting / business invoicing (USB print).

Even as a Millenial, it is extremely frustrating that modern versions of Excel/Office/&c are always trying to be so [un]helpful... auto-dates/-formatting is just such an absolute nuissance.

The day this machine dies will be one of great personal mourning / frustration.

Thanks for the emulation alternative, OP!
To be fair, stories like this occur in countries with socialized healthcare. People often do come to the US for niche specialized healthcare that is cutting edge.

US healthcare is great for the wealthy and those who can afford it. It isn't great for everyone and in general ranks average or poor in some cases.
Take react / svelte/ etc out of the equation. The important question is why would you use canvas vs svg?

As a sibling comment noted, number of elements can be a big performance drag, since they all add weight in the DOM. Other considerations are animations- it's been a few years, but I recall a number of animations in SVG that would utterly destroy browser performance (I think it was animating a stroke with CSS but I could be wrong here).

There's a sibling trend of animation editors exporting to wasm/canvas as well; see for example Lottie and Rive.

Having settled on SVG vs canvas, and presuming you chose canvas, if you're already in react / svelte / etc, this library gives you a way to do so that fits in with what you're already doing.
A bunch of questions.

What shortfalls in Tabix/datagrip were you trying to fix?

What’s the prime use case were you trying to improve on. What did users do before, how is that better with agx?

What do you mean by data explorer? A Table browser? Exploratory data analysis like - ydata-profiling?

How does this connect to clickhouse? Does user data go through your server?

What table library are you using?
I only see like a half of the square and I can't move the viewpoint.
How does this compare to tldraw in terms of featureset / target market?
Can social motivation beat self-discipline? Testing a new growth platform
Most self-improvement apps focus on habits and willpower—but what if social motivation is the real key to growth?

We’re testing a platform that turns self-improvement into a shared experience—where people challenge, support, and push each other to stay on track. Less solo struggle, more real accountability.

Does community-driven growth actually work better than self-discipline? Or do we still need to rely on personal willpower?

The GPL is considered by its author to be a “hack” on the copyright system to perpetually enforce source availability. Most consider it unnecessarily restrictive and would prefer a world without it, Stallman included. But since Xerox used copyright to sue people trying to fix their own broken copiers, which they owned, here we are.

Point is, removing copyright also removes the need for the GPL in the first place. All knowledge should be public domain.
> It has never been more accessible to research any kind of subject and phenomenon than it is now.

Absolutely - it's a miracle, almost. But relatively few people really do it because they are rarely pursuing truth. They are reading and watching misinformation and disinformation.

> Global book market is healthy and as big as it ever was. Most of us a reading more in a day that even scholars did in a month two centuries ago.

Enjoy yourself; still, most of that is social media and that's equating things based on their medium. It's like saying, 'I look at lots of paintings' when you're talking about your walls, because Jackson Pollack's art and your walls both use paint and some of it even splattered.

Also among books, there are instant romances and On the Origin of Species and Analects. There's nothing wrong with the former, but the fact that they all share a medium is almost meaningless.

> democratization

I'm familiar with the expression, but I think it's an attempt by propagandists and nihilists to ennoble their work. It's 'democratization' that they can spread misinformation and disinformation. Social media is not comparable to books; it's professional media, only 100x worse.
A few, not sure HN will format this correctly so my bad if these get mushed together:

* The originals used Sharp MiP but advertised them as "e-paper" do your new models use MiP LCD (or similar) or actual "e-paper" ie "e-ink" (electrostatic capsules).

* Pebble time round 2?!?!

* The touchscreen - this is an issue I had on my Galaxy watch including the bezel rotating as well. Are there efforts to pevent the touchscreen from inadvertently doing things when I'm resting one arm against the other? For Galaxy watch I had to switch off bezel rotation/touch screen waking the watch & only allow buttons, because it would constantly wake up when I had my arms crossed/resting position.

* The backlight, is it backlit or front-lit? I suppose this more relates to if it's genuine capsule e-paper, then it would be nice to be front-lit.

* No compass or barometer on CT2?

Thank you! <3
Many people here install ublock for elders and / or children and leave it. Now they might become target of ads that download malware.
As programmers we're middlemen. We are not domain experts in anything except the computer itself. People don't want programs; they want the things that programs do.

For the moment, we're necessary middlemen. And we may even be necessary for a long time -- less for our skills at programming but for our experience in bridging the gaps between what users actually want, what they say, and what the computer can do.

But most of the things that we prize in each other aren't really that important to the customer. They just want the tool to assist with their actual task, whatever it is.

"No code" has never been anything like that. It's a buzzword that sells because that is indeed what people want, but it's fiction. Still, it's good to remember why it's such a desirable buzzword.
> SF and many other places offer job opportunities the EU can't,

Besides a job that just pays more money, what sort of unique opportunities exists in the US that doesn't exist anywhere in Europe? Genuinely curious, as I can't seem to think of any on my own.
Clients that lost uBO and I put Lite on are getting hit with malware. It may be correlation but it looks like causation.
Someone know if a good support to learn MCP on Windows ? I can't really find strong comprehensive infos, lectures or video on this topic.
It could be some mental deficit on my part, but this makes no sense to me.

The question of whether Israel should be a country or not seems like a living question to me: neighboring nations don't recognize it as legitimate, and my impression is that neither do most Palestinians.

They’re referring to a stronger form of nationalism, god-given right, ethnic supremacy, violent suppression, etc.

If this is what people are using as a definition, that seems like a problem in itself, because it tosses all sorts of people with less obnoxious views into the same category. It would be like substituting the word 'Americans' for 'Trump voters' in situations where the latter is more accurate.
I had five years experience and a bachelors degree and had to work for ten bucks an hour in a grocery store and 12 an hour as a barista. That is what the H1B program is for -- destroying the futures of people born here so they off themselves.
>It comes in two fun colorways

I'm all about getting excited and hyped, and I know they're just doing their jobs but (1) I can't help but feel a weird kind of uncanny valley/dissociation at some of the language choices and (2) non-evil Google was beloved in part because their interfaces, displays, communications etc used language that was engineering speak adjacent which carried a quality of sincerity that you just can't find in their modern prose.

So sure, I'll learn about "colorways", we're inventing the new future. But for better or worse this form of communication trains my brain to be alert to these "wait, what?" reactions. Another one:

>great for brainstorming new ideas or practicing something you want to say.

...Something I want to say? Wonder if they were watching Daniel Sloss before drafting that sentence.
No real argument as to why it is a 'problem." Using Meta's board as a reference, when Meta has failed miraculously at their metaverse play, where as Apple continues to be one of the richest companies ever, almost proves the point that Apple's board is fine?
Was it before or after the American cheeseburger? Because that's the main example we use as to what that restricts. I don't, for instance, know if that applies to chicken fried chicken.
That is literally what people are doing. “Written in Rust” has become a pretty convenient shorthand for “this was written by someone who cares deeply about quality, and you can guess that it will be extremely fast, relatively free of bugs, and use as many cores as you want to throw at it”.

While you’re out here complaining, the Rust community has built a truly impressive array of improved, human-focused command line tools (rg, bat, fd, hyperfine, delta, eza, and on and on) and a bunch of best-in-class libraries for building tools (regex comes to mind).
It's really a way for her to externalize the responsibility to blow the whistle on the injustice she sees, enables, and takes part in: In the mind of that nurse, God is in control, so she doesn't have to feel guilty that she's complicit in illegal activities because it must all somehow be part of God's masterful, inscrutable, but absolutely, by definition "good" plan.
Probably cherry picking their c-span interview on March 4:

> Asked about the claims of political motivations for their extended stay, Wilmore said that Musk and Trump may have information “that we are not privy to.”

But then he says:

> But, he said, “from my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short.”

The fact check article is pretty comprehensive: https://www.factcheck.org/2025/03/the-facts-behind-the-delay...
> For some products, like free-range eggs, there is the possibility of choosing more ethical options.

There sure are, e.g. anything plant-based! ;)

> Additionally, it would be wonderful if every animal-derived product had a recent photo (within the last year) from the exact farm of origin. It would be even better if every food product included a CO2e per calorie estimate (see e.g. https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local, https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-kcal-poore).

Produce animal welfare and environmental impact are orthogonal, and maybe even somewhat opposed. But both would indeed be better.
1181 government entities globally endorse decentralized identity
The quotes from this comment suggest the nurse was trying to use her position to evangelize to Mooney, but that's clearly not the case when you read Mooney's full account. The nurse was clearly trying to comfort a person in distress. That's part of a nurse's job. "God brought you here for a reason" is not a line that would comfort me but it was evidently comforting to Mooney by her own account, so I'd say the nurse read the room accurately and did the best she could given the terrible situation and her position in it.

Christianity is a popular religion in Mexico, and most of the people that nurse has dealt with recently are probably facing potential deportation back to Mexico. There isn't much you can say to comfort a person in that situation. Appeals to faith could reasonably be one of the few methods the nurse has to offer comfort. That's certainly better than the nurse being cold and uncaring.

Or maybe I'm just "fucked in the head".

Missing context from Mooney's account:

> I told her I had only recently found God, but that I now believed in God more than anything.

> At the time, I didn’t know what that meant. She asked if she could pray for me. I held her hands and wept. I felt like I had been sent an angel.
Unfortunately some leaders of big tech suffer immensely from fragile masculinity, not that they are fragile or not men, but in the concept that manhood needs to be constantly proven through acts deemed "masculine" (aggressiveness, competition, etc.) or it can be taken away from them. It's an exhausting way to live, even more since under this system your manhood can be taken away from minimal infractions (like Zuck being stubbed by the "real men", fighters, when he was in that UFC match entourage).

Usually when under fragile masculinity, men that need to prove they are masculine lash out into more extreme displays of what they perceive as "masculine", become more aggressive, even more against other ways of living that are seen as less "masculine", like the typical behaviour of some bullied kid turning over into bullying their friends for anything outside of the perceived masculine traits as being "gay". You don't like sports? Gay!

We are seeing this play in real time, Zuck, Musk, Bezos, they all suffer from fragile masculinity, and since the tech world has many other leaders similarly suffering from it then it becomes quite typical herd-behaviour of the ones "down on the totem pole" from these mega-billionaires to follow the lead.

It's all insecure bullshit but on a whole other level of power, and wealth...
