Funnily enough, there's a drum loop that's also frequently sampled in electronic music from a track titled "Think (About It)."

I've always advocated for having a read only database connection to be available for your customers to make their own visualisations.

A layer on top of the database to account for auth/etc. would be necessary anyways. Could be achieved to some degree with views, but I'd prefer an approach where you choose the publicly available data explicitly.

GraphQL almost delivered on that dream. Something more opinionated would've been much better, though.

Coincidentally, they started releasing much better models lately.

Valve saw the writing on the wall when Windows 8 was released. Their investment made Linux more feasible for the average user.

This makes me wonder how much better the world would be if corporations didn't have to answer to shareholders. Valve isn't publicly traded, Microsoft is.

Arguably CTA isn't exactly an obscure acronym. It's multi-disciplinary - quite common in UI/UX design and marketing; and also decently common in any branched of software engineering that interact with these topics, like... web development.

I couldn't imagine living in a country where my every move is being watched.

Privacy is a human right. Sacrificing your human rights just for a bit of "safety" is just short sighted.

You might not even need ffmpeg.js for that anymore. WebCodecs API is well supported nowadays.

I've been running Arch (on my desktop and servers) for over a decade, and never had issues. Just read their homepage before upgrading.

It's probably one of the best introductory projects to x86 assembly on bare metal.

More advanced than my attempt: https://github.com/mat-sz/pongloader

BTW: You could provide a live online demo using v86 - https://github.com/copy/v86

One can dream.

Finally, been waiting for this moment since I've learned about Oracle. Would be well-deserved for them. Hope Larry Ellison loses his yacht.

VSCode already renders terminal on GPU

When did they add that? Last time I used it, it was still based on xterm.js.

Also, technically Chromium/Blink has GPU rendering built in for web pages, so everything could run on GPU.

True, I was considering going back to Poland for business... if only Poland was more politically stable.

Giant GDP boosts are always just one deregulation away, hm?

Honestly, reducing the complexity of incorporating and paying taxes in Germany would quickly improve the dire situation of startups here. It's so bad right now that a tax advisor straight up told me to move to a less business-hostile country.

Not everything is about profit :)

As a patient, I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with the doctor operating on me doing a speedrun.

Full sterilization before each surgery is a good thing. Better safe than sorry. Same for only having one patient in the operating room - reduced risk of contamination and human error.

"Late stage enshittification."

We're already at a point where more often than not people want to quit using online apps. I wonder if at some point we'll end up with the internet being completely abandoned because we did nothing to keep it usable?

Similar scenario to what might likely happen to our planet, now that I think of it.

I'm not sure if linking to those files is allowed by HN, and it could potentially expose me to lawsuits.

However, searching for "Yandex git sources magnet link" might help.

You could take a look at the leaked Yandex source code from a few years ago. I'd believe their architecture should be decent enough.

One layer up, the blade. Silicon would be the iron in this analogy.

The physical server itself would be the wooden handle, I guess.

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs

Nitpick: the "H" in HMRC stands for "His", since it always changes to match the current monarch.

Andreas Kling, the same person behind SerenityOS

Important context - Andreas isn't involved with SerenityOS much anymore. He decided to prioritize Ladybird, which is arguably the more important project here.

Also, he used to contribute to WebKit. Even ended up working at Apple for a period of time. Quite definitely the right person in the right place.

Audiophile USB cables are pure placebo, there's no controversy here. Changing the medium doesn't magically make digital signal higher quality, only reduces data loss, if anything.

The "X" rebranding is finally making sense.

Random question but why would you not switch banks? I wouldn't want to be a customer of a business that clearly doesn't respect me.

Wonder how good are those for LLMs (compared to M3 Pro/Max)... They talk about the Neural Engine a lot in the press release.

At this point, Google should accept new sign-ups for critical products ONLY from countries that have a functioning law enforcement system when it comes to this - and check based on ID card/passport.

Python's imports are the worst I've seen in any mainstream programming language by far.

Relative path imports are unnecessarily difficult, especially if you want to import something from a parent directory. There's no explicit way to define what you'd like to export either.

The syntax is inconsistent, too:

    from X import Y
    import Z

    import { Y } from 'X';
    import * as Z from 'Z';

I was searching for a job from April to June 2024 as a senior/lead front-end (React) dev in EU (Germany). In addition to the usual mid-year slow down, the market itself was tougher. It seemed like a lot of companies had weird standards, contradictory at times even; even though the salaries they offered were much lower than before.

Luckily I landed a great job in late June, but it took 60+ applications and countless interviews.

Same experience when it comes to LinkedIn, tons of InMail in 2022 and before, barely any in 2023 and afterwards.
