jensenbox··on We achieved a 6-fold increase in Podman startup speed
I am very likely one of only a few people but it really irritates me when the term "fold" is used when they really mean "times".

Folding a piece of paper (just like binary numbering) 6 times will provide you with a stack of 64 sheets.

They did not have a performance increase of 64 times.

This is identical to the idea of stating "magnitude" as being the number of times based on 10.

How wrong am I?

I think this should be the next priority for https://frame.work :)
jensenbox··on Ask HN: When did multiple environments become standard practice?
Where I work we use option [2] - It works well. All merges to the main branch auto deploy to our Testing environment. Properly formatted tags go to Production as a release.

The front-end team get branch based deployments. The backend has their local docker development.

Try as we might, creating all the infra even with 100% terraform is a challenge - mostly for the swallowing of the AWS bill.

We just could not see the cost/reward for doing more than just non-prod + prod.

Totally open to ideas why 2 non-prods is better than 1.

jensenbox··on Ask HN: When did multiple environments become standard practice?
What does your company use?

1) 0 non-production + production

2) 1 non-production + production

3) 2 non-production + production

4) 3 non-production + production

5) N non-production + production

6) Something entirely different.

I was thinking about branch based environments or per developer environments but was not sure how to depict that in a simple poll. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves.

Sounds awesome but can't touch it until it has Linux support. I am on the waitlist. Fingers Crossed.

I predict that someone will craft a blob of JS to paste into the console that will make 100% every time.
jensenbox··on What color is it?
Nope - I am on Linux only and have been for years.
jensenbox··on WebAssembly: Docker Without Containers
I stopped reading once I saw the article was targeting PHP. I am sure this is a great technology but really hard to see the benefit over standard docker.

Does anyone have a pro/con list for docker and wasm at the server?

Is there a "Use Docker when..." or a "Use WASM when..." style guidance?

jensenbox··on Ask HN: Who Remembers “Abort. Retry. Fail?”
This was what I would type into every computer I could find in Sears :)

Seriously though - I had to run that for every PC we pushed out the door. In my later years I looked up what I was really doing - very interesting stuff indeed!

jensenbox··on Goodbye Spotify
I left Spotify but I still pay for the family plan for benefit of the rest of the family.

I moved to YouTube Music because I was ultra tired of the "Sorry your music has stopped because it looks like it is playing on another device" - I keep the music playing on my desktop nearly all day long and just adjust the volume - when I go into the kitchen or car I would also play music there but sometimes... when I play it in the kitchen and other people are in there I would just leave it running - when I go back to my desk it would have stopped, I start it again to the frustration of the other people in the house that actually liked what was playing.

With YouTube Music... this issue is no longer an issue.

I have found that the music that YTM presents is way better and frequently stuff I would never have heard from Spotify. With Spotify I seemed to always be getting the same tired stuff - some of which I swear was made by bot artists if that is a thing.

jensenbox··on Audio Optocouplers
Could someone explain why nearly all amplifiers I see only amplify one half of the wave? I am seeing these optocouplers as only being able to amplify the positive side of the cycle and ignoring the negative.

In my mind I see the sound pressure as a positive and a negative where each side could be very different but ultimately adding up to zero over time.

Is it just that if you make a positive pressure wave the negative is right after and does not matter?

Class A amplifiers seem to take both sides into account. I am expecting to see some sort of H-Bridge configuration but never really see it. The most I see are positive and negative rails.

What am I missing here?

jensenbox··on Ask HN: What'd be possible with 1000x faster CPUs?
Your question is missing the factor of power - If we have 1000x at current power usage or 1000x at 1000x power?

Also, 1000x parallelism or 1000x single core?
