arriu··on On anti-crypto toxicity
You’re comparing database to a trust-less distributed fault tolerant system. Of course the db has a smaller energy footprint but it doesn’t provide the same features. It’s like saying a bicycle rolls down the road just as well as a car so we should not use the car.

There are blockchains now that are designed to be optimal for what they provide.

The bigger issue is that there are applications running on chains that clearly don’t need the features of the chain.

arriu··on Dall-E 2 illustrations of Twitter bios
Is there a future for art with this type of thing getting more advanced each year?
arriu··on Embedded Malicious Code in node-ipc
This is career suicide and undermines the ecosystem due to the loss of trust.

Honest question, what can be done to address this type of issue? Lock fines are great and all but people rarely dig into their dependencies when upgrading.

How are you guys dealing with upgrades?

So this is what, the 4th ship in a week?

arriu··on Sustainability with Rust
I’m not sure how I feel about the placement of Java and C# with regards to energy efficiency related to golang. I get that they are optimizing JIT compilers and golang is not going to get any better after the compile step but this seems odd nonetheless. Anyone have more insight?
arriu··on Discord is a black hole for information
It seems like AI could be setup to address this. I would think it would be insanely useful.

Personally, I’d rather look at an enriched summary than the original chat log in most cases. Can somebody get on this please :)

arriu··on Show HN: I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs
The project is super cool but I agree the logo is a terrible example of it in use. I'd love to see a more easy to digest example. The logo circuit is confusing and I'm not sure what to make of it.
arriu··on Don't you lecture me with your thirty dollar website
Am I the only one that feels this isn’t front page material for the ycombinator news site?
arriu··on A pure Go embedded SQL database
What are the use cases for this? Is this a good fit for Memory based testing for db stores? Also, I can’t seem to find documentation for how this compares to SQLite
arriu··on Rare real colour photos of WWII
The guy on the tank looks like he’s holding a tablet lol
arriu··on Show HN: Bulk convert images online without sending to server
Thanks for building this! Would you be able to add something like dcraw.js for various RAW file support?

Spoon, who would have thought? It just works
arriu··on A different and often better way to downsample your Prometheus metrics
Awesome, thank you!
arriu··on A different and often better way to downsample your Prometheus metrics
Thanks for the answer! I'd love to know more :) Also, I'm not following, how you guys deal with issues with unique counts? For example, lets say you've got 100 unique visitors on Monday and 100 on Tuesday. The unique visitors for both days might be anywhere between 100-200 and averaging counts between days doesn't work.
arriu··on O&O ShutUp10++ – Free anti-spy tool for Windows 10, 11
But... You've just described how fingerprinting on the web works. How is this not uniquely identifying information?
arriu··on Moiré No More
Fantastic read, thanks!
arriu··on Windows 11: Just say no
I'm going to get down voted for this, I realize it isn't for everyone... If it's not for you, no problem. Let me know what you prefer.

Anyways, try golang with imgui.

You can make imgui look like anything. Ontop of that, you get true cross platform binaries with native speeds with only a couple dozen lines of code and amazing dependancy management. If you've never done immediate mode front-ends, you'll be delighted.

What if you're using something like grpc?

Thanks for sharing this.
arriu··on Samsung remotely disables TVs looted from South African warehouse
Can you block samsung.com at the DNS level and be alright or do the issues go deeper than that? Honest question as I don't have a Samsung tv...
arriu··on Tesla Announces a Humanoid Robot “Tesla Bot”
Lots of negative comments here.

Can someone actually comment on whether this is even remotely possible today? Or is this more than a decade away?

arriu··on Expanded Protections for Children
Lol there is no way they will be scanning for just one type of thing. That would be a waste of computation. They will tag everything and decide if they want to use it later.

Scary times; for exactly the reasons you've called out.

arriu··on Expanded Protections for Children
I'm happy to see people held accountable for being scummy human beings but this does raise the question of where the line will be drawn and who gets to make that decision.
arriu··on Show HN: Visualizing a Codebase
Very cool! Reminds me a little bit of gource.

arriu··on Amazon EC2-Classic Is Retiring
Anyone here actually using EC2-classic? If so, what has been the reason for not upgrading?
arriu··on I just learned I only have months to live. This is what I want to say
Why the down votes? Not everyone on this site has an active subscription and clearly the a author wants his message read. I'm really curious, please respond.
arriu··on Programmatic Video Editing with Python
Anyone have any good examples of where something like this might be used?
arriu··on Blue Origin first human flight
Let me clarify, my point is neither about their wealth or expertise. I'm simply pointing out that this could be a similar point in time for future commercial travel; focusing on their wealth is beside the point. Or it could fizzle out...
arriu··on Blue Origin first human flight
Comments in this thread complaining that the rich get to do whatever they want are forgetting that the wright brothers (and others) enabled flight for all of us even though most people during that time could only dream about it. It might not happen for you and I, but let's think about the bigger picture.
