Sol-Ark’s markup is like 5x the list price just for the official rebadged version. Sol-Arks (“US veteran owned company”) still have the firmware made in China, and are susceptible to Chinese hackers, and had to be bought through a distributor. So naturally people went with off-listed Deye inverters because of the scheningans from Sol-Ark.

Now, people are without power and they have to go to Sol-Ark to get power restored, likely by paying through the nose.

If you’re 20% smaller, it would make sense that your heart could pump 20% less.

Visual Studio has the community edition that is free.

Even side projects are commercial, aren’t they?

Azure/AWS provide much more base services (multiple regions/AZs, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, etc) that are pennies to operate and aren't really targeting the cheap low end that Hetzner is.

Blazor Server in an enterprise (intranet) is extremely fast because the network is extremely fast.

Across the Internet, it's still quite fast if you use Azure SignalR service, which is effectively a globally distributed CDN. Most commercial apps use this service.

Blazor WASM is better than I thought it would be. My company has built a healthcare SaaS app that has ~5k daily users on it and no one has complained about the initial rendering and download time to pull down 25MB on the initial load. This sounds like a lot but with modern broadband, 5G, and CDNs, this takes about a second or two.

I think that’s exactly the wrong impression I get. Private equity is going to cause them to quickly get to better profitability through price increases, layoffs, and reduced R&D.

I’d like to support this, truly I do—I’m a .net fan.

But I read the docs. Sisk is supposed to be simple. But the code samples are nearly the same as ASP.NET minimal APIs. Can you clarify why Sisk is better than out of the box .NET?

It seems every major job posting platform gets overran with spam and eventually candidates move to a new platform every ~5 years.

First it was CareerBuilder, then Monster, then Dice, and now Indeed is having its day in the sun too. I wonder if the emergence of GenAI in the past 2 years have accelerated the spamification of Indeed and thus its demise. I’ve posted there and within minutes get hundreds of AI-generated “candidates” with practically the same resume/CV.

Microsoft will buy Docker.

Besides the safety issues others have brought up, you'd also have to replace the substations on both sides of the lines to support raising and lower at 2x the voltage. Most likely that would require roughly a 2x size in transformer and copper.

A better idea in the short term is using temperature sensors along the wire. In the winter, we should be able to push more current without risking burning out the wires if we can effectively monitor the temps in real time.

Microsoft Garnet is the only redis fork that actually improves upon it, improving performance by an order of magnitude. Maybe the others will catch up, but it's very "Hacker News-esque" to fail to mention something the largest company in the world is working on.

It's slower than Garnet.

Which is why I think Redis (the company) will change the protocol and it will end up fragmenting the community.

Microsoft's Garnet has the best chance of replacing Redis, the OSS project and the hosting company.

Article doesn't mention it, but supposedly Microsoft uses novel algorithms and multi threading to achieve an order of magnitude improvement in throughput.

Now if they can commercialize it with Azure, it should be a credible alternative to Redis Enterprise hosting.

Looks neat, but probably only for internal MSFT usage.

For what it's worth... Microsoft was quoted in the Redis press release as a cloud provider that has partnered officially with Redis under this new licensing scheme.

Meanwhile the C# (.net) implementation is 4x faster.

I gave up on RavenDB when Oren would post blog entries regarding interviews with candidates, bashing how they would fail his coding exams.

I mean who posts that kinda stuff on their public website?

I was wondering how many lines I'd have to scroll down in the comments to see a "M$" reference here on HackerNews.

They're a $2+ trillion dollar company. They're doing something right.

The time savings alone is the yuge factor IMO.

People talk about "oh I don't want to spend 15 minutes charging at a supercharger on road trips". Yeah, I'd rather do that once in a blue moon rather than the weekly drive out of my way to spend 5-10 minutes at a gas station with semi-sketchy people loitering the area. Or deal with the ever-changing gas prices that go up every time a dictator in the middle-east sneezes.

They have a free offering for anti-malware and anti-porn DNS server (1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3). Right now it's targeting for "families", but at some point they could easily monetize this especially to corporate networks.

And from a corporate perspective, historically no one ever got fired for using IBM. Who would you want running your Fortune 500 corporate CDN, a company that can handle 1.3T reqs/day or another CDN provider that's one-tenth the price but doesn't have the scale/reach of Cloudflare?

GCP and Azure have always charged for IPv4 addresses. If anything, AWS was the last of the public cloud providers to provide them for free.

Not exactly. Most of the AWS services you can't release the IPv4 addresses. You automagically get 3 IPv4 addresses assigned to you when you create a load-balancer, even if you want that load-balancer to be IPv6 only.

And their native support for IPv6 within their services are hit-and-miss at best.

$200k+ total comp for a product manager is pretty good.

I wonder if previous experience at FAANG is becoming a negative factor in the hiring process. Run-of-the-mill Fortune 500s aren't going to pay Meta money ($475k+) for a product manager. More like $120-150k. And maybe they're looking to avoid the expectations (read: entitlement) from those who are used to those kinds of outsized salaries.

Anybody but me notice the weird wording on safety?

"EXCELLENT density" "EXCELLENT performance" "good safety"

Does this mean it's more likely to explode than current-gen NMC batteries?

They become illiquid because they don't have access to their money that was in SVB. They can't make payroll, can't pay vendors and landlords. The employees will leave first. Vendors next.

If AVs become as good as they proclaim, then overall power consumption and emissions will dramatically decline when people no longer have to buy cars to get around.

FSD Beta still costs $15k just to be part of the beta program.

Yes, you have to pay $15k just to apply to the beta program, and you still may not get accepted into the program.

Why? Simple. It's literally the fastest framework in the world. This save us a ton of money on cloud costs.

I can support millions of DAUs with a 3-node K8s cluster running .NET7 instead of a 50+ node cluster with Python or node. Just simpler, without npm package dependency hell, and produces a nice clean single file executable.

It's the premise of paying your competitors money to do something that you already are doing. Someone manager probably got a bonus out of this move.

And corporate espionage is more prevalent than you may think. Can you absolutely guarantee 100% that the competitor, like Zoom in China, isn't sniffing their video traffic or recordings to some of their most sensitive internal business discussions?
