Using its own TERM is a deliberate design decision. I don't remember how to fix the terminal database, but it's pretty easy (your favorite search engine or LLM should be able to help you there).

hijinks commented on Bloom filters are good for search that does not scale notpeerreviewed.com/blog/... · Posted by u/birdculture

There are a lot of "better than Bloom" filters that work similarly in some aspects. I have used Cuckoo [1] and Ribbon [2] filters for Bloom-type applications. If you have an application where you do a lot of one kind of searching, it may also be worth implementing a specialized variant of a data structure. I needed a Cuckoo-type filter on the JVM but only for 64 bit integers and I was able to make a smaller, faster code base that was specialized to this data type instead of handling generic objects.

You need to know up front whether you need to be able to dynamically add entries to the filter or if your application can tolerate rebuilding the filter entirely whenever the underlying data changes. In the latter case you have more freedom to choose data structures; many of the modern "better than Bloom" filters are more compact but don't support dynamic updates.

is there a better way then bloom filters to handle needle in the haystack type searches where the haystack might be terabytes of data and you only want a few lines?

I wonder why "extinction rebellion" types don't love nuclear power more.

When it works right we have unlimited clean energy.

And when it goes wrong you have a 50,000 year nature preserve.

people have seemed to forget that there were some people in LA that use to walk outside in gas masks due to all the air pollution.

hijinks commented on Show HN: I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam · Posted by u/newobj

Not to get too personal, but how did working on a video game affect your personal life? If you worked from home, do you have a wife/kids? Was anyone upset or disappointed you were working on a game and not getting another job at a big tech company?

I don’t mean to be critical, but I’ve always faced pushback working on startups/side projects, and I’m wondering how that was for you?

if op was working at Meta for 10 years and they started at 2013 they probably have more then enough money stashed away to not worry about bills for a few years.

Curious what Datadog is going to build with this tech. Believe this company pitching themselves as OSS competitor to Datadog a few months ago.

hijinks · a year ago

they are planning to allow you to run your logs in your own datacenter/cloud and put something like a proxy there or being built into quickwit that your logs show up in the datadog UI

My guess is you will be billed per gig or something but not nearly the cost of shipping your logs to DD

hijinks commented on US house prices in 1950 vs. 2024, accounting for inflation brilliantmaps.com/us-hous... · Posted by u/ivewonyoung

corentin88 · a year ago

Now the next question is why? Why the houses prices have surged in the past decades. And why is it a worldwide situation (at least in developed countries)?

hijinks · a year ago

too many people and not enough land in areas where people don't have to drive 3 hours to work.

Want pricing to go down then we need to build more dense housing even an hour drive from the city. The days of wanting a big backyard are coming to an end for most home owners.

Cool! Did you just prompt -> copy -> paste or did you come up with some specific workflow?

hijinks · a year ago

you can use the vscode cline to give a task and it uses a LLM to go out and create the app for you.

In django i had it create a backend, set admin user, create requirements.txt and then do a whole frontend in vue as a test. It even can do screen testing and tested what happens if it puts a wrong login in.
