> most react people now use TypeScript because first class types in your view layer are super useful

Most people use TypeScript because React apps have grown to 200k lines of mostly entangled code with business logic and are unmanageable without it.

If one goes in a different direction there's less need for it.
Its an open question they have never answered afaik.

I would speculate that their design is self-contained in hardware.
I'm not the person you asked, but if some security researcher such as yourself needs a million-dollar service to sell, I'll offer that I would pay decent money for a webapp or something where I can list all the things in my stack or project and it spits out a list of known and possible vulnerabilities that I should check default configs for, update, patch, etc.

My thinking is this; if I'm willing to fork over dollars to a VPS hosting service for peace-of-mind, then paying for a service that helps me understand what I'm doing when it comes to self-hosting should also be on the table as an alternative.

That said, I have no idea how viable of a business model that would be, or if it would even be able to be developed and upkept with reliable info. Or, maybe it already exists, but on an enterprise level that I cannot afford for some dumb little blogs.
> The lesson is taught early and often. It often sort of baffles me when other people are baffled at how often this happens in science, because it more-or-less always happens. Science proceeds despite this, not because of it.

I think we should definitely not learn from this that science still works despite those things. Because then it's easy to just say it is what it is. I think it's much more helpful to be critical of the scientific process (scientific policies in particular) and see how it can be improved. As I said many times before here on Hacker News, basically nothing in science has changed since papers like Why Most Published Research Findings Are False by Ioannidis
have come out. I think we as civilians should demand more from science than a bunch of false papers behind paywalls.

Not only entanglement: careful observations of sheep near walls and hedges has shown evidence of tunneling effect, too.
Customers also lie to themselves about how complex their observability problems are.

I've worked at shops with already-structured data you could put 90% solution monitoring on top of and be done, but they obsessed about the perfect "analyze the firehouse of unstructured data automatically" solution that just never came.

So we slept walk through many preventable outages because rather than learning to crawl then walk then run, we wanted to fly to colonize Mars in 1 giant leap.

Part of it is incentives - putting in stupid dummy checks on structured data is cheap/easy and a low-class problem. Pitching an all singing all dancing AI driven observability platform with beautiful dashboards is career enhancing. You get to talk to the CTO! He puts the thing on a big screen in his office! You have years of POCs, vendor selection, hiring, infra build out before you get caught out as a fraud!
> This is a management and leadership problem. They need to make using their hardware easy. They need to support all of their hardware. They need to fix their driver bugs.

Yes. This kind of thing is unfortunately endemic in hardware companies, which don't "get" software. It's cultural and requires (a) a leader who does Get It and (b) one of those Amazon memos stating "anyone who does not Get With The Program will be fired".

This is not clickbait and can't be overstated, there is no precedent for this sort of action in recent history in the US. Your normalcy bias is the problem.
This is the best article on why OpenCL failed:

The US government was intentionally split into 3 parts. This "Institute of Peace" was established and funded by the US Congress. The Executive should be pursuing the intent of the legislation. In general they've been failing to faithfully execute the law.

I'd be totally fine with Congress cancelling the whole thing, but it hasn't happened.

If your code base is already using async await it's really not an issue.
It doesn't matter if objects die young — the other objects on the heap are still moved around periodically, which reduces performance. When you're using a moving GC, you also have additional read barriers that non-moving GCs don't require.
Show HN: Terminal dashboard that throttles my PC during peak electricity rates
WattWise is a CLI tool that monitors my workstation’s power draw using a smart plug and automatically throttles the CPU & GPUs during expensive Time-of-Use electricity periods. Built with Python, uses PID controllers for smooth transitions between power states. Works with TP-Link Kasa plugs and Home Assistant.
I think this article entirely misses the mark and misrepresent the article it itself quotes by Erik Hoel re: Ghibli.

It's not about making something that used to be difficult and scarce (obtaining lapis lazuli for creating the ultramarine pigment) into something that is readily available (synthetic ultramarine), but about saturation and cheaping of semantic meaning.

Studio Ghibli's movies are not valuable because they are scarce, they are valuable because there's meaning and joy in them that is not for instant gratification or cheap meme-making. Flooding the internet discourse with Ghibli memes is not "making the scarce more available", it's producing knock-offs that have the potential to saturate our collective minds and make them "inured" against the real Ghibli.

It's not about being a luddite or rejecting technological progress, it's about not wishing to see our culture destroyed with noise that drowns everything else. And yes, pop culture IS culture.

By the way, it's not about Ghibli, TFA-within-TFA also mentions Nabokov, just in case someone goes "I didn't like Ghibli to begin with, so what?".

Also, and not obvious, because these two entities are distinct despite occupying the same site: they're not always open at the same time. So if you want to see both, even if you plan to spend more time at one than the other, check they're both open.

Whether something is the first computer is - inevitably - a definitional argument, but TNMOC has several candidates (though not all of them) including (a modern reproduction of, the original was destroyed as a secret) Colossus which is famous because of its involvement in the war.

Bletchley Park is also still an actual stateley home, all the war stuff was built on somebody's grounds - there's a good chance you either don't care about stately homes or you're intending to visit a more interesting one (or indeed one of the Royal Palaces), in which case no need to care, but that's a third distinct thing on the same site.

[Edited to make clear there is no original Colossus, we destroyed it because it was a secret]

Odd that this shows up on HN now, when I just started watching Karl's videos this past winter. It's a small internet.

Anyhow, I wonder how much the degraded components would affect Donkey Kong and whether similar degradation could account for Todd Roger's record for Dragster.

I also hope that other people Karl has called out aren't gonna go after him now, because with the financial loss and emotional grievance he's gonna be dealing with it would be hard to fend off additional lawsuits.
I forbid myself from speculative trading as a consequence of idiosyncratic principles that I live my life by. One of many symbolic rejections of toxic profiteering that infests our neo-mercantile society. I have enough digits in my bank account that adding any more would be unambiguously greedy and distasteful, so in the end it would be violating my principles simply to debase myself. No thanks.

Anyways you'd need some kind of window of when a stock is going to collapse to short it. Good luck predicting this one.
Tandem Health | Software Engineers | On-site in Stockholm, Sweden | Full time

At Tandem Health we're building a clinician copilot to allow clinicians to focus on care rather than administration. We’re building, launching and iterating quickly, and already have more than 300 organizations using our product.

Our core product listens in to the patient-clinician encounter to generate medical records, allowing clinicians to save 5-10 minutes per patient. No longer do clinicians have to catch up on administration after hours. Some even tell us that their partners notice they're much more relaxed after starting to use our product, and we couldn't be happier :)

We're expanding our Stockholm team with exceptional engineers! We use Python (backend), TypeScript/React (frontend) and C# (Windows app) and our infrastructure runs on Kubernetes in Azure. We're scaling rapidly in terms of # of users and are especially keen to talk to senior backend engineers who have helped startups scale from thousands to millions of users.

Even if we don’t have a role out for your specific skill set, we’d love to talk! Our tech team is small but growing and you’ll have an outsized impact on an important problem.

AMD was investing in a drop-in CUDA compatibility layer & cross-compiler!

Perhaps in keeping with the broader thread here, they had only ever funded a single contract developer working on it, and then discontinued the project (for who-knows-what legal or political reasons). But the developer had specified that he could open-source the pre-AMD state if the contract was dissolved, and he did exactly that! The project is active with an actively contributing community, and is rapidly catching up to where it was.

IMO it's vital that even if NVIDIA's future falters in some way, the (likely) collective millennia of research built on top of CUDA will continue to have a path forward on other constantly-improving hardware.

It's frustrating that AMD will benefit from this without contributing - but given the entire context of this thread, maybe it's best that they aren't actively managing the thing that gives their product a future!
I probably have nearly the exact opposite opinion of where static typing is the most beneficial. I think it’s precisely at the UI rendering layer, because that tends to be where you’re dealing with the data types with the largest number of properties, deep nesting, etc.
It is really depressing to see how people universally don't even understand what he's talking about, and stick to non-explanations.

Art is humane. It tells humans how to be humans. A thought about an ill person in pain is worthy of being told as a story. Not only that animation automation thing is of no use to someone trying to express those thoughts, its authors — just like many, many others — have no idea what humans do with their lives, and which tools artists may need to show it. They've made a toy, and were told that it's just useless wanking, together with the whole genres of pointless amusement that introduced such images into pop culture.

“An insult to life itself” is not just a phrase. There is life, and there are people who deliberately ignore it, and enjoy the sights painted on cardboards.
Close - If I had the degree of confidence that post implies about Nvidia being overvalued, I would take an aggressive short position.

"good group" is carrying a lot of weight here. You can't buy that. You can buy good small groups, but AMD needs a good large group, and that can't be bought.
You gotta have "it" (Epic Faith No More) to have millions of people tune into you on YT. I make technical videos but I'm not a Michael Reeves for ex.

Yeah I understand what you’re saying, but my point is you’re doing the opposite side of the same coin. Not doing full perf analysis and saying this one method works (yours is to reduce GC mark time, ignoring allocation, others are trying to reduce allocation time, ignoring GC time, or all these other methods listed in this doc.)
Show HN: A Cargo subcommand to run tests for changed crates and their dependents
While working on a large open-source Rust codebase, I found myself stuck between either running tests for the entire workspace (very slow), or manually figuring out which crates I'd changed and running their tests individually. This was adding several minutes to every development cycle.

I built cargo-test-changed to solve this problem. It automatically detects which crates have changed based on your Git status, and runs tests only for those crates – and optionally, their dependents.

Would love your feedback! If others find this useful, I'll publish it to crates.io. The project is MIT/Apache 2.0 licensed.

I escalated a very similar thing with a college professor--in a social sciences class.

Show HN: DeCSS
(It's an excerpt from newsletter I've sent today; I thought it was fitting to post it here as well)

And lastly, in the spirit of April Fools’ Day, here’s a story of a digital rebellion that started 25 years ago.

It all started in 1999, when a 15 year old Norwegian reverse engineered Hollywood’s unbreakable DVD encryption (the Content Scramble System) and wrote a tiny program called DeCSS. His goal? Simply to play DVDs on Linux. Hollywood’s reaction? Full blown panic. Studios sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), demanding DeCSS be erased from the internet. But what followed wasn’t just a legal battle - it was a circus of absurdity.

If an executable code - as ruled by a US judge - can be taken down, then what about... A t-shirt? A haiku? A sculpture? The code soon morphed in all imaginable ways, and hackers and activists were releasing it all around the world. It was even encoded as a prime number. An illegal prime number! But my personal favorites remain a rock song and a dramatic interpretation of the code released as an audiobook reading. Meanwhile, the lawyers, completely lost in the irony, at one point even sent a takedown notice to a cat.

Stay mischievous.

EDIT: an obvious omission was not including the link to the gallery of CSS descramblers: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/
Inequality has been an issue, but it was the Peso crisis and the outsourcing of Mexican manufacturing to China that caused the spiral that made the cartels as powerful as they are today.

Jalisco, Sinaloa, and Nayarit are major petrochemical hubs in Mexico, but when Mexico entered the Peso crisis in the 1990s and China ascended into the WTO in 2000, a major bout of deindustrialization happened in that region.

Turns out chemistry is chemistry, so you had plenty of unemployed chemical engineers and soldiers (the Mexican government did mass layoffs in the army during the peso crisis) which meant you had the brains and muscle needed to enter the drug manufacturing space.
> Does the app avoid unnecessary roundtrips to the server?

Guess what, using server-rendered pages avoids all unnecessary roundtrips by definition, because the entire page is loaded in one go. You can augment a server-rendered site with client-side SPA features for seamless interaction within the page, but that's not a key requirement either.
This is surprising to me. Karl's commentary seemed like it would be protected speech, at least in the United States. I'm unfamiliar with Australian law though.
Location: Kentucky, US

Remote: Yes (Onsite and Hybrid in Central Kentucky works too!)

Willing to relocate: No

Résumé/CV: https://cameronbibb.com/assets/files/Cameron_Bibb_Resume.pdf

Email: cameronbibb@gmail.com

Hey, I'm Cameron! I love building dynamic, high-performance applications—ranging from responsive UIs with React to real-time backend systems that scale.

Most recently, I created Willow, an open-source framework for building Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines. It leverages Kafka, Debezium, and PostgreSQL to process database changes in real time. You can check it out here: https://willow-cdc.github.io/.

What I bring to the table:

- React & Frontend Expertise: Built component-driven UIs with React, TypeScript, and Material UI
- Backend & Data Processing: Designed scalable APIs, database workflows, and event-driven systems
- Distributed Systems & Real-Time Data: Worked with Kafka, WebSockets, Redis, and CDC pipelines
- DevOps Awareness: Experience with Docker, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and performance tuning

I'm looking for remote opportunities where I can work on scalable web apps, high-performance APIs, and data-driven workflows.

If that sounds like a fit, let’s chat!
One way to look at it, but consuming OOP libraries doesn't turn code into OOP.

Also, FSharp.Core (which most F# code leans heavily on) is not OOP at all.

F# promotes object programming, doesn't proscribe mutability, encourages function and data approach.

It offers simple access to the different paradigms, with some opinionated choices (e.g. preventing leaning on OOP beyond an arbitrary stretch, like no "protected", only explicit interface implementation, etc.).
I test my damn sites on a fucking iPhone 6 from 2014. Executing that JS is a breeze.

> FAIR TAXES

Agreed with you! A progressive tax (the more you earn, the higher % you get taxed) makes sense as a fair thing to me.

Where I am from, it's 52%, and that's a reasonable price to pay for having bike paths, greening, parks, good roads, affordable public transport, great public schools, and paid time off and maternity/paternity leave.

Once there was a strike of the public sanitation workers in my city due to their low wages. You know what happened? In 2 weeks it changed from a beautiful place to live to a cesspool. Don't know about you but I was happy to spend some of my $$ so I didn't have to fight rats, rabid dogs and mountains of garbage to take my kids from school.

As a matter of fact, once somebody reaches a certain amount of wealth, I'd be very much in favor that it should be 70%, 80%, 90% and 99%. And, of course, then you get the prize "you won capitalism, now relax".
This is cool. Though I think what could be improved is using folder routing, it works surprisingly well.
