Welcome Tom!

One thing I'd really like to see is less tactical flagging of content.

Hopefully with your additional help, people who suppress content they disagree with will be kept in check.

Open discourse is something that used to be sacrasanct in scientific and engineering circles. Over the last decade or so, free speech has been on the decline, and discussion is now very polarised along political lines.

For example, it's nearly impossible to discuss technical progress made by Elon Musk's companies without brigading by leftwing commenters, and I've seen positive news about Musk and his companies get quickly flagged and squirreled away. This is self-serving behaviour by bad actors and should be addressed in order that HN is a politically-neutral forum for discussion, and not a leftwing echo chamber.

Summary: Product-minded software engineer with experience in multiple languages. More than 15 years of experience in technical roles of various kinds including software development, quality assurance, system administration, Dev-Ops, and support. Looking to join a team that prioritizes delivery of quality software that delights users.

I agree but in reality many will take the easier path of [`pip` `npm` `cargo` `yarn` `go`] [`install`, `add`] when seeing the functionality out there. I was also making a broader talking point.

Bare runs on iOS, yes. The tricky part with iOS in particular is loading of native addons. Bare solves this through https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-link which is capable of generating XCFrameworks on-demand that can then be linked with and signed as part of the application bundle.
Yeah. BigCo administrators universally point to business intelligence arising from competitors as the 'second pillar' in justifying policy, especially related to internal corporate organization or HR standards.
I assume it's the lack of end-to-end encryption by default on basic features.

Not sure why these AI companies need to scrape and crawl. Just seems like a waste when companies like OpenAI have already done this.

Obviously, OpenAI won't share their dataset. It's part of their competitive stance.

I don't have a point or solution. However, it seems wasteful for non-experts to be gathering the same data and reinventing the wheel.
Who says art needs a purpose?

It makes abstract patterns, some of which you may find pretty. It’s similar to other algorithmic art dating back to the 60s.

That's good feedback. The icons are not bundled into Mermaid itself due to copyright concerns. The approach you suggest would make sense, though.
Also, there's an addition benefit for high-credit-score credit card users: they get occasional offers for "0% interest" (with typically 3-5% upfront fees, which are in fact a fixed interest) loans, which become ordinary credit card loans (~20% interest) after 12-18 months.

Even though it isn't actually 0% interest, even 5% is an amazing credit interest rate.
Of course; that's the point of an adversarial test, to free the interrogators to use all their human intelligence to place the goalposts wherever they judge best. There will always be individual humans who'd fail any sane version of the test (illiterate, comatose, etc.), so the test is meaningful only as a statistical aggregate.
Forums like this are "censored" and that's a really good thing. We don't need a steady stream of (for example) hate for women, minorities, and trans people that you see on truly uncensored forums.

The president can instruct (or basically ask) DOJ to delay enforcement, similar to how they can instruct federal agencies to prioritize certain types of crime, but it can't override a law. The EO gave a 75 days temporary delay which is ending soon as the article says

I've also had https://ploi.io/ on my radar as an EU alternative.

Although I'm a longtime Forge user, I want to give it a try soon. The UI does not look as polished in the screenshots, but it seems to offer more features, such as file backups.

Forge appears to be quite a critical part of the infrastructure, given its root access to all servers, which lies under US jurisdiction/influence, so moving to an alternative may be warranted?

I'd be interested to hear any opinions on this, as well as if anyone was able to compare the two tools.
"Everything being colorful is as monotonous as everything being, well, monotone."

What a load of crap. Where do you live, in a cave? have you ever been in a jungle perhaps? what about birds with colorful feathers? you want to wash out those colors too? jesus, nature dictates and nature is full of vivid colors. so your argument goes down the drain.

there is no such thing as modern taste. there are trends dictated by a handful of psychotic gatekeepers who got hooked on their own farts.

old movies had the absolute best coloring. compare those movies to the ones seen now and you are on the verge of retching. these superficial, devoid of human value superprocessed heaps of shit they try to force feed to people, just plain unwatchable. not just the story lacks, it has zero message, nothing to chew on, just some brainwashing action scenes. that's good for the plebs they say while squeezing people for money.

absolutely reprehensible, that a handful of gatekeepers put people into these literal psycho gardens that is devoid of anything resembling human. what's missing is the human part. the humanity is slowly missing from everything.
Oh I get that.

We have these claims:

- Shooting someone is absolutely bad in all scenarios

- Its correct to shoot someone if they are trying to shoot you

I agree with the second point completely. The problem is if you say that, you should go back and revise the first point, because clearly its not absolutely bad.

In the case of tariffs, once you acknowledge that reciprocal tariffs are good, you run into a problem because the US generally has lower tariffs on other countries than other countries have on it.
Wow, what an intensely upsetting article. With cheap deepfake generation and laissez-faire platform moderation, a person who develops a pathological fixation on you can just decide to publically brand you as their sex object, and your only recourse is... to call 404 media and amplify your stalker with the Streisand effect?
That’s totally not true. The original stereo patent from the 1930s is based on M+S signals, not separate channels, and was born out of a desire to position sound across a stage (movies).

By the time the hard-panned records of the 60s were made the technology was already old, it was just a stylistic choice.
There's this guy I usually have on in the background on youtube who replicates chemistry experiments -- or attempts to. It's pretty rare to see him find a paper that doesn't exaggerate yields or go into enough details, and he has to guess things.
I was chiming in to the broader thread not just your comment but I think it adds to your observation about the political bias.

I'd love to get a higher quality source of data on media bias and accuracy. Both of these matter because even reporting facts but emphasizing a certain perspective distorts reality. Inaccuracy or straight out making stuff up is another form of reality distortion.
Show HN: KantoDB, a Postgres-compatible OLTP database using DataFusion and Rust
I'm writing a brand-new OLTP database with Rust, DataFusion and RocksDB. It's both a Postgres-compatible SQL server and a Rust library that takes SQL and returns Arrow RecordBatches[0]. Apache-2 licensed.

Close enough to Postgres that apps think it's Postgres, but also runnable as a library like SQLite -- best of both worlds! And then if you're willing to not limit yourself to Postgres compatibility, you also get fancy new technologies like unsigned integers in a database! (Old SQL ecosystem is sometimes ridiculous.)

It's still very early days, but it's exciting! The darn thing already works as a SQL database — largely because it’s just DataFusion’s query engine and me feeding it table scans. I wrote a SQL database without ever debugging a JOIN! The shortcuts I’ve been able to take due to help from preexisting projects are huge. For someone who grew up in the world of "every C project has to write basic data structures for themselves because C isn’t very modular", it’s downright amazing!

Next up, I am looking to identify significant open source projects with automated integration test suites[1], and classify our success based on how many of those won’t even realize they are not running on Postgres. Errors encountered will help determine priorities for development.

[0]: FFI from C/Python/Typescript/whatever to come later, Arrow makes that pretty easy, it's designed to be a platform- and language-agnostic in-memory data structure.

[1]: Rough integration test criteria for a project to be easy for our integration testing: has automatable pass/fail outcome (not manual use of web UI), tests actually talk to Postgres and don't fake it, open source, easily runs in a single plain container, is not a muddy pile of multiple microservices that need to be orchestrated, reports errors clearly, relatively popular or small and simple.
My small victory is to set the tv on a wider color space, and so make youtube more vivid. 5% of things will look a little strange, but the majority looks more beautiful. Note you actually need a modern tv with a REAL wide color space.
I'm trying to recall -- wasn't there someone who had a similar issue with a game? Maybe a (pun not intended) Steam game? They'd try to run their game and something else would launch? Or vice versa?
Although pretty thick I think this can be an interesting device - provided that the price tag is low enough to be affordable AND repairable.

I think it is a good move to provide a budget device.
I've used it in Racket, which is not exactly "popular" but common in universities as a teaching language. I actually built a fairly popular Tor hidden search engine in Racket nearly a decade ago, but I quickly shut it down when I ran some stats on the most common queries.
Tbh, I've been successful enough in avoiding using python that I don't know the specifics of that.
I think you really start to see the fetishization of the Greeks and Romans in the Neoclassicism movements in the 18th century as an aesthetic, and I'm actually not sure how much was known about the actual Greek and Roman lifestyles (Roman, in particular - a big lot of this is tied up with the notions of Empire) at the time.

I think it goes beyond that.

TLA+ requires you to think about problems very differently. It is very much not programming.

It took me a long time (and many false starts) to be able to think in TLA. To quote Lamport, the real challenge of TLA+ is learning to think abstractly.

To that, I think plusCal and the teaching materials around it do a disservice to TLA. The familiar syntax hides the wildly different semantics
I currently only have my phone, so i can't judge the API. From my point a full scrape at regular intervals is not that bad. Its only 1000 requests. Depending on the data and querymethods you xan make fresh data appear sooner than removing old data.
The major question is: how fresh do you need your data?

Not every application needs realtime data, querying it only on occasion or every few hours can be good enough.
> It's crazy to me that TikTok is still operating

Not at all, I don't think our elderly political leadership really had a grasp on how massive Tiktok is with GenZ and younger Americans.

It would be, to the elderly, like the government unilaterally banning AM radio.

There are certainly issues with Tiktok, but it was complete out-of-touch hubris to decide to censor the dominant media platform in the US for people under 40 overnight.

Not sure it's worth a whole blog post, but I think we have more ways to express ourselves than ever... the color hasn't gone, it's moved.

I might resell my house or my car but my PC is a like looking into a rainbow supernova. My clothes have patterns and prints that weren't even technically possible 100 years ago. I can go buy paint for my walls at any hardware store that would cost a fortune during the renaissance. I can print any artwork I want at home at amazing quality or pay a little more for an even better pro print. I've got a number of screens in my house that can reproduce more colors than I can differentiate.

The world is more colorful than ever, I don't think we have to point to the tired car examples or temporary trends in home decoration or filmmaking and claim something's missing.
I was part of that, but many others helped that be a reality include the CEO.

A political talking point can be nationally popular but still political, so, outside the scope of the site.

Anyway, which nation? I think we also aren’t allowed to push Communist party talking points here, despite that party being highly supported in some countries (not that I’d want to, just saying, nationally popular doesn’t mean much).
I also ran into massive issues trying to use Mermaid when I tried to pair it up with Marp (markdown for presentations). I am not sure if it is Mermaid's fault or Marp's fault but it didn't work and tons of people want it to work:

Cars are not buy it for life items. I generally buy a 3 year old car because it is about half the price of a new one - but I'm limited to what color I can find. If I bought new cars I could get whatever color - except that new car buyers won't be seen in a 4 year old car, and they can only afford to upgrade (to the extent they can) if the car has resale value so they care about what color they (the dealer) thinks will sell.

When we bought our current house it was perfect except the colors were an awful neutral grey - I had a hard time convincing my wife despite the otherwise perfection, and only did because we spent several thousand dollars getting it repainted before we moved in. I'm sure the sellers realtor thought the neutral colors were a great idea, but they almost cost several thousand dollars (there was a bidding war when we bought the house, we almost didn't bid and so the sellers would have lost).

The important point is if you like color make sure you pay for it, and reject things if they don't have the color you want.
IIRC, the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper” album was among the first stereo-mixed albums released. As much fame as that particular album has, the original mix is really bad. Drums all left, guitars all right, nothing in the center. It sounds weird to modern ears!

> Kill as many Russians as possible and use up as many Russian munitions as possible - with the inevitable consequence being the death of a lot of Ukrainians in the process

Pretty much. I see you got downvoted because somehow there are still people that believe it's two more weeks and Russia will collapse.

Initially the plan was a rehash of 2014 when the Obama admin encouraged Ukrainians not to fight. It was going to be a media storm and very harsh pronouncements, sanctions and so on. However, from a geo-strategic point of view when Zelensky refused to take the ride offered to him by the Biden admin, it opened this new opportunity, and Americans and Europeans allies took it. Never let a crisis go to waste! They helped Ukraine stay afloat and saved Ukrainian lives as well, no doubt, but that's a bonus for the magazine stories. If we pretend their only goal was grinding down Russia without also letting it collapse or trigger WW3, the playbook would have looked exactly as it did for the last 4 years. So I think it's silly to pretend it was something other than that.
