I'd find it easier to believe this comment is AI generated, given that the account is only 53 minutes old. The text on the t-shirt looks totally normal to me.

The fact that this blogger, whose blog I'm reading for the first time today, has been posting archive footage and imagery, using a pretty similar format, from the same factory since at least 2019 (https://arcadeblogger.com/2019/12/26/atari-coin-op-archive-f...), and also the fact that the new post is his first blog post in 18th months, makes me think it's highly unlikely that this the post AI generated in any way.


I believe this Elixir based project is influenced somewhat by Rails:

https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

Not tried it, but I came across it whilst updating my knowledge on what was out there that was similar/influenced and/or opinionated like Rails.

Also, off topic re: Elixir, found this for Rust:

https://loco.rs/

I guess it's difficult to justify moving away from tried and tested Rails for a new startup if you know how to spin things up with it already.


I'm pretty sure it's been the case since at least 7.0, as I've done it a few times on hosts such as Scaleway that only offered a Debian base image for my machine.


This is fricking awesome. It's the coolest thing I've seen on HN for a while. Love it!

N.B. I visit HN multiple times per day. I've been a member of HN since 2010. My last comment was made in 2018. I logged in for the first time in years just to make this comment :-)


I don't get it. Good visualization takes complexity and brings clarity and focus to it. There's seemingly nothing connecting where things are placed or how moving in any direction will lead you somewhere that develops understanding of what's going on. It's just a massive grid with magnification and a pseudo voronoi effect.


It really feels like something out of "Web 4.0", like some random next-generation UX pattern (for better or for worse)


I agree, but then I spend a lot of time talking about and developing software for Apple Vision Pro so perhaps I see this in a different light to most. Feels like a great interface for random discovery and/or semi-random discovery within more tightly connected bubbles of taxonomy.


Author here - thanks for the kind words!


Anyone care to comment on whether this complements or competes with Rancher 2.0?


Seems to me you would run this on a Rancher 2.0 cluster, and then get automagically provisioned databases. It extends the default kube system, and Rancher just provides an interface to that.


It looks perfectly parallel as far as I can see. Very interested in answers here too.


On linux you could try QEMU/KVM with GPU passthrough - install virtmanager for GUI. Easy with a desktop, difficult to do, but possible on Optimus laptops with - so you need the right kind of integrated and dedicated GPU there - see this guide https://gist.github.com/Misairu-G/616f7b2756c488148b7309addc.... Easy, but expensive route for a laptop, on a more modern laptop, would be to attach a eGPU enclosure via thunderbolt and share/passthrough that to your VM.

If you are considering doing your VM's on a server then it's worth a look at Unraid too - it uses QEMU/KVM under the hood but has some other advantages too.

Edit: you are likely to lose a little GPU 2-3% due to vm overhead, but GPU passthrough is as close to native as you are going to get. I've happily run a high end VR headset via a Windows VM running on Unraid in the past.


I had a similar setup about a year back.

Running a Ubuntu Host with KVM, passing through an NVIDIA 970 to a Windows host. Yea...the GPU performance was fast, but everything else was so slow compared to running native. I think my biggest issue was with disk R/W, especially when memory pressure went up from the VM the system bogged down to a halt. After that, my biggest problems were with the fact that after the Windows host turned off, the GPU was stuck in the weird state where you can't reset it ( I know its a feature™ from Nvidia) and the Keyboard / Mouse would flake since I would attach the whole USB root to the VM as well.

In the end just decided to install back Windows and not have to deal with it.


QEMU recently got multi-threaded I/O. It used to be single threaded and that caused a lot of performance issues.


By recently do you mean 2 to 3 years ago with a simple toggle?

Say hello to distributions not providing latest releases.


^^ I did lots of research on whether Meteor was the right move for us. I ended up learning about Vulcan.js, which is developed by the Sacha who built the very popular Telegram on Meteor back in the day.

I have to say I'm impressed so far. Lot's of nice things to get one up and running quickly. But it's been thought about in a way that should allow you to mix and match the defaults it comes with in a modular way as your application grows.

With Apollo/GraphQL at its core and React on the front end it really does make a lot of sense given current trends and I'd urge anyone looking at Meteor to check it out. Great active Slack group too.


Original article currently offline for me and so I found it here:

Saw that the Centriq 2434 (40 cores) is listed at RRP $888.

Does anyone know if you can get hold of a Centriq cpu & compatiple motherboard to build a local server or two? I fancy one in our lab rack to play around with.

I'm assuming that this is not possible and that they are currently just for datacentre partners who make a large order. But would be great to hear otherwise.


Not Centriq but I think there are boards with Cavium ARM chips that you can buy as a consumer (can't find link to cite so may be wrong, but may be a useful avenue for your search).


This doesn't answer the supply chain question, but this is the info page on the chip: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-centriq-2400-proc...


If you ask your distributor rep, they should be able to procure a single unit or two for testing. We did this when Calxeda was a thing.


Ask your HPE or SuperMicro reps.


Well done you! Though 30 is not that old, I've never believed that old adage about old dogs. Grit, determination, self belief and a positive outlook are some of the main ingredients required to change course in life. Sacrifice will most likely be required too if the change of course is more than 45 degrees.
