Wow, that is not the analogy that I would have first chosen.
Simplicity cannot be a goal in itself. Is the dashboard of a F35 worse than the dashboard of a car -- because it's less simple? It's the same thing with programs and programming languages. Computers are universal devices, they can be F35s or just basic cars. The important thing is 'fit for purpose', which is more elusive and not so amenable to simplistic ideological statements.
Agreed that README is very unclear - it's not a browser at all, actually. It's just a GUI library for rust & node.js which happens to have little DOM-like layer.

This pseudo-DOM is really just enough to make web frameworks work. I want to do GUI apps with the same tools & libs which I use for web development but I don't want to include the whole browser and moreover I want it to be enough resource-savvy so that it can run on my raspi attached to the TV.

It's hard to describe what it is good for because there are many use-cases. It's really rather a platform just like Electron or Qt is, but of course it's very limited now. But really, if you or anybode else have better headline, I'd love to hear it.

And thanks for the interest :-)
So if I put a bumper sticker on your car and walk away, then come back 3 months later and ask for it back and you refuse, then that's stealing? Really?

Because I'd say me putting something on your private property is vandalism. And you removing said vandalism is in no way a crime. They didn't have a warrant, and their device wasn't identified as belonging to the authorities. Just because the police vandalized your property (without informing you about what they were doing) shouldn't* make it any more of a crime to remove than if a private citizen did it. This is the same bullshit that empowers police to harass minorities "because we're cops".
Had to scroll way too far to see this. I personally have broken my dad’s rear window in his truck pushing equipment too hard into the back of the bed.

Trucks need to be built to take abuse, and this truck has a lot of glass. Hence they want the glass to be practical, which means not replacing sheets every time you go off road and take impacts from road debris.

Any engineer who has live demo’d a beta product should know exactly what Elon was feeling in that moment. “Oh my fucking god” just about sums it up.

No, they didn’t expect it to shatter, there’s no way Elon planned on standing in front of a damaged Cybertruck for the rest of the event.

I got the impression the live impact tests on the real product where a last minute edition. Franz, “Are you sure?!” before throwing the bearing about sums it up.

The same mentality that lets Elon decide to hit his Cybertruck with a sledgehammer on stage is the mentality which gets us Cybertruck in the first place. You have to appreciate the beauty of the whole approach / package.

IMO you absolutely do not get to pick and choose all the innovation that comes from Tesla/SpaceX/Elon without all the drama, and failures, and missteps. This is the thing people don’t understand. You do not get to have one without the other in the world we live in, they are flip sides of the same coin.
It is not a comment that adds anything substantial to the discussion.
The West is not doing too well in the human rights department, yo. You have to actually work pretty hard to understand that, however, as the mass ignorance is by design.

However, as long as we are free to speak to each other about our differences of opinion, we can avert catastrophe and build a diverse, and therefore stronger, civilisation.

Those who would lecture the masses on what is and isn't free speech, don't seem to be getting the point. Words, in and of themselves, never kill.

A world-wide, sudden enlightenment at the hands of celebrity figures in an attempt to create a godhead may .. or may not .. be the kind of solution to collective destruction .. we should be celebrating.
Outside of the financial press this doesn't get nearly the amount of attention it deserves.

Part of the (harsh) reality in the dislike of economics recently has been that the Behavioural Economics folks (yay Ariely!) have made it a point to start introducing experiment-based rigour and protocols. That part I find fascinating at least.
You mean either 'eco system' or 'echo chamber', both of which describe the unix community.
This is an example of what I think is a common and very damaging metafallacy in startup entrepreneurship: the basic business safeguards we don't pay attention to because they don't seem to matter until our companies get big.

But these are some of the worst problems, because they submarine. You pour the money, sweat, and (most importantly) time into an enterprise, risking its total failure. You stick with it, your company gets its footing, you're poised to see a return. Then bam, disaster: some stupid thing you weren't careful about when you were 4 people explodes, counterfeiting your success.

You'd have been better off it exploded when you were just 4 people big. You'd have known you were screwed, and could have saved yourself the time and energy, and used the opportunity to move on to something that had a chance of succeeding. Instead: you lose 90-100% of your outcome to a lawsuit.
The "to do" part is the active preservation of and action against coercion. If the denial of a right is present, only action against that threat is likely to remove it.

Further, a freedom is likely to disappear without continued active exercise - which makes that freedom an action, contrary to your argument.

The idea that freedom is absent action or protection is absurd. Using the term "so called intellectuals" makes you sound obtuse.
> underqualified people giving unearned advice, and flooding the job market

If they're speaking at conferences and getting published and working on projects that are out of their depth, then it's on the conferences and publishers and employers to identify them as underqualified.

If they're "flooding the job market" and working on things that are appropriate for their skill level - which I would guess the majority are - then that's a good thing, even if their skills are at the low end.
The trouble for newcomers starts at _which_ framework to hang your hat on. Unless that decision has been made for you by your employer choosing between, Vue, React, Svelte, Alpine, Angular or some additional ankle biters is overwhelming. What's the selection criteria? What's the payoff vs complexity cost of each? What's the support level? Is it coming in vogue (Svelte) or out of fashion (Angular)? Does it mandate additional tools/transpilers/packagers etc and how many? How hard are they to learn? Do they play well with some other tooling that is being used (say Typescript)? Finally how does it all get packaged as an app/website to publish?

It's a complicated mess and even seasoned JS developers struggle to answer the above questions. Oftentimes the justification for choosing a framework is that they had read about it in a forum like HN and wanted to try it. Nothing wrong with that for someone who lives and breathes those things but most people want to just get a CRUD UI up, these things are a massive time sink for what they purport to offer.
I don't know about other countries but here in the UK imposing a lockdown seems to result in an eventual reduction of numbers of lifting of lockdowns results in them growing again - even to the point where a seemingly inevitable "third wave" is being predicted for later this year even with the success of the vaccination program here.

Indeed, the main criticism of the government(s) here is usually that lockdowns weren't introduced soon enough and lifted too early.
> It is inappropriate for presence or absense in PSL to be used by Facebook as a means to include or reject entries due to the IOS14 change, as PSL is not any form of security screen whatsoever, and the volunteer team maintaining the PSL is receiving the burden of being a sieve for the changes on interaction between those systems, which is taxing our resources.

> The ONLY validation performed by PSL volunteers and Github process to add listing in the PSL is to check that a DNS entry is added by the domain administrator that can be tied to, and this can be completely illusory and lite in reality in contrast to perhaps the deisred level of security that had been intended between Facebook Pixel and Apple.

> We are freezing the approval of new submissions that cite the FB / IOS 14 interop issue in order to provide Facebook or Apple, with a much more robust set of resources, the opportunity to sort this out amongst/betwixt themselves.

https://github.com/publicsuffix/list/issues/1245#issuecommen...

~~Seems like FB was abusing the work of volunteers here as a reaction to changes in iOS 14.~~ I don't see why they can't run their own PSL a la NTP servers.

edit: Seems like Apple was the one to declare PSL as canonical.
I've spent a lot of time porting many Unix tools to Xenix 286 for internal use. It was a paintful process. Assumptions of 32-bit size of integers were common, build tools (make, C compiler) differ in subtle ways from common Unix ones, etc.
I'd say there's just outright negativity bias in society nowadays when it comes to technology.

Even if ads were the biggest use of AI today, a glass-half-full view would be that other markets will benefit from the AI development done today for ads, as the performance gets sufficiently good enough for those fields too.
I'll bite.

> without testers.

A "tester" is far far far away from a legitimate QA person.

> I've seen a tester changing requirements on the go, delaying features for things that aren't even the case.

Hiring bad employees doesn't invalidate any role. It invalidates A.) Your hiring process for that role, and B.) That employee
They want to make it as easy as possible to wipe out saved privacy settings. This also gives them justification when wiping out privacy settings during operating system updates, which are often out of the user's control.

This is acceptable as long as the billionaires all take big haircuts this time. In 2008, they paid themselves huge bonuses while Main St. got evicted. Not happening this time!

Pitchforks, torches, and nooses if necessary.
This was also the successful approach of the Royal Navy against the German Imperial Navy in WWI: one significant battle followed by the IN (surface fleet at least) no longer being an issue for the rest of the war.
That won’t get them all either, and likewise will only find one server per IP. The only really reliable way would be to scan every port to see if there’s a Minecraft server there, but that blows up the search space by quite a bit.
You could do the same thing today with A-Frame VR.
Hurd simply never was ready and/or welcoming outsiders that might have pulled it in a direction where the anointed did not want it to go (such as, actually releasing something).

Hurd and Minix both missed critical windows of opportunity and ended up so far behind Linux that they might as well not have bothered. For the longest time the only thing that kept new people flooding into Minix was Tanenbaums courses at VU.
The article makes it sound like that is going to have to go away, if laws are passed to make electrics play fake engine noise.
Rockstar got plenty of grief for GTA.
Come on, what a silly stance. Packets from a botnet engaged in a DDOS should be routed at the same priority as all other packets because packet routing is a human right on par with "the right to not be enslaved" and "the right to potable water"?
Lua. Simple yet powerful. And - important for me - easily embedded into C and C++ programs, also pure ANSI C so very portable. Sorta like Javascript but with all the fat removed.
This is off-topic, but I'm curious why your submission history contains so many duplicates for the BBC's website.[1] Is there a reason both the .com and .co.uk links are submitted for each article?

Don't you see any problem with the silence in terms of safety?

There is a reason bicycles need to have a bell. Because these you also cannot hear when they approach you.

Although, it would be funny seeing a Tesla with a nice little bell and the tacked on law that you have to use it to alarm others in front of you that you are approaching. That'll be a sight to behold.

The parent post said the method was dishonest. You are arguing that it is useful. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
Ask JF.
While this makes sense, I don't think the ratio is very high. Workers outnumber engineers by extreme amounts and so a replaced "unskilled" job will necessarily open up less jobs than it will close. No?

And the question stands, what to do with those workers? Move them to the facility that builds the robots that displaced them, in a loop?

That said, I do not oppose the replacement of workers with robots in any way, as that would be artificially trying to stop the progress of mankind. But what happens to the workers is a serious issue. What are all the people from the closed American car factories doing?
What the fuck?

What I don’t understand about the Texas electricity market is that, despite how “free” it is, price per kwh isn’t terribly competitive compared to more tightly regulated states - having the highest average residential rates in the West South Central region: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

Beta self-driving software shouldn't be on the road in the hands of random drivers. It's crazy to me that people think this is ok because "it's just a beta!" The stakes are vastly different between a bug in a photo sharing app and a 2 ton hunk of metal targeting bicyclists on accident
Who says humans aren't running ourselves to death at the sound of the wind right now?
What you're missing is that it isn't reasonable to expect people to be paying enough attention to "quickly take over."
If you read the claims in Apples rubber banding patent, they specifically include "displaying an area beyond the edge of the document" (in iOS, the gray linen background) when you over scroll. Thus, instead of jarringly stopping at the edge without any indication that a boundary has been reached, the document keeps scrolling with your finger.

Windows Phone, however, does not show an "area beyond the edge" on over scrolling; instead, it anchors one edge of the document at the boundary, and subtly "stretches" the rest of the document to follow your finger. The effect is like trying to pull down an elastic sheet of paper. This indicates that the boundary has been reached, but without showing a separate "area beyond the edge". As such, it achieves an effect as intuitive as iOS's, but without infringing the claims.

(Yes, you really have to be the pedantic when evaluating claims.)

I'm pretty sure this effect came about because Microsoft wanted to work around the Apple patent.
However, some sort of cross license, if not the one from the 90s, is apparently in place as well. Some UI elements in WP do infringe other Apple patents, such as the "disappearing scroll bar" one.
I am a very casual user of AWS and have been told many times that AWS couldn't start an image of the type I requested in the zone I requested it. That's the problem with using EBS-backed images, you can only start them in specific zones.
If you have 10 people logging in per second, you put a 1 second delay on future requests which is certainly noticeable.

Maybe the correct thing to do is to make the key derivation executed on the client side, but then this would erode the experience of mobile phone users.
Thanks for your feedback, glad you like the idea.

To get just the bayesian items, click the "Your Items" tab, and then select "Top Items" from the first drop down box. Although to begin with none of your items will pass the filter because it has no data to run on.

When you click one of your items to open it, the page does a partial post back and marks that item as read. It then uses that data (read items vs. unread items) to filter all future items that are read through the feed.

But I think your right, some explanation on the site would help.

For the bad feed what was the exact text you entered? http://daringfireball.net/index.xml seems to work fine.

I really like ESPN's approach of asking you which version of their website you'd like to use immediately upon navigating to it. I dislike having to scan the headers and footers of a site hoping to find a "Go to Full Site" button, if it even exists.

Keep it. It's not like it's crap. If they really do release a must-have feature on the next one, the upgrade cost isn't that bad (especially on an inexpensive computer like an MBA). In the meantime enjoy the M1.

Let's accept this and move on: programming is seen as a lowly profession by most business and hr people. And it isn't going to change in the foreseeable future. But you know what? They need us more than we need them, right now. PG, Spolsky, and many others agree it's preposterous to try to change society. The way out is either start your own business or join a small team with similarly talented people.

Given that so many have already helped with SETI@Home and used far more of their resources than $1, I'd say that's definitely true.

For instance, back in the 1990's, I had a NeXT, a couple Apollos, an SGI Challenge, and a few Macs cranking away on SETI@Home blocks, some of those machines running 24/7.
Websockets now work on cloud run. We implemented that last month. Cloud run does have a few limitations: no service discovery built in, no docker compose support, limited set options for CPU/memory, no persistent disk, etc. But it's great for things like a simple Spring Boot server or any kind of stateless service. But you won't be running redis or a database there. It's just not designed to do that. It's also not great for running batch jobs; we tried and our jobs kept getting killed/throttled. Use a vm for that.

Luckily, there are lots of other Google services for that that you can plugin for that sort of stuff. Cloudrun is great if you are planning to use those things.

Kubernetes is what you use when you want to mix stateful and stateless stuff so you can avoid depending on those services. That makes sense if you need to support multiple clouds or on premise installations. But otherwise, it's a lot of extra complexity and devops even before you consider the overhead of managing the kubernetes cluster. There are lots of companies that talk themselves into needing this where the need is arguably a bit aspirational. I've been on more than one expensive project where we served absolutely no traffic at all with hundreds of dollars worth of kubernetes clusters idling for months on end that had no realistic hopes of ever getting more than a very modest amount of traffic even if everything worked out as they planned.
> Many patches etc run afoul of that because they don't meet that standard.

The problem is not that they aren't applied, it's that they are ignored without discussion of their faults.
A noteworthy detail of the narration is that it tells a clear story about what can be achieved by hard working "men" and "girls".
