This is a great browser, and the competition is always good for the users.

For me it was easier when the only choice was hating IE and going for Firefox, right now i struggle between my emotions to use one or other wonderful browser as my main one...

When firefox 4 comes its going to be even harder...
I wonder how Facebook will deal with integrating Erlang into their (afaik) PHP-based systems?
Norway, and none of the supermarkets or similar shops here have unrefrigerated eggs. Then again, our egg manufacturers have also paid for ads saying their eggs last a lot longer than expiration date they're mandated by EU to put on the boxes.
Great post!!! It remainds me of Okami. I bet they used this kind of technique somewhere.
People don't work that way. Social status is always more important than truth. For socially suppressed knowledge, individuals can find it out for themselves if they want, but they can't share it or they'll be ostracized for heresy. So most people won't want to even find out when even expressing curiosity is an offence and they'll work to punish those who do share it because that helps them to be accepted by the majority.
A lot of intermittent fasters follow something less extreme: a 16:8 hour fast. You eat normally during an 8 hour window (lunch, a snack, and dinner, for example) and then don't eat for 16 hours (no after-dinner snacks and no breakfast).

> Here, too, we can all drop our job descriptions to solve this problem. Big tech needs to rapidly build and scale a cloud-based national ventilator surveillance platform which will track individual hospital I.C.U. capacity and ventilator supply across the nation in real-time.

> Such a platform — which Silicon Valley could build and FEMA could utilize — would allow hospitals nationwide to report their I.C.U. bed status and their ventilator supply daily, in an unprecedented data-sharing initiative. I have no doubt that the tech brain trust now sitting at home on Zoom can mobilize to get this done.
Nice! Any other Dutch websites you can recommend?
Who is the blog for? What is the goal? Who will dev/maintain it? Do you have any special needs?

9 out of 10 I would suggest a lightweight WordPress installation that's heavily automated wrt to maintenance. If you have the money for it, go with WP Engine or Kinsta. They take care of most major issues so you can focus on the content.

Seems like most of the ux issues stem from configuring kube easily. I wonder what the author would say about using a metaconfig language like cue or jsonnet to make is super easy to define new workloads.
There's plenty of Private Eye coverage as I previously stated if you're interested in their perspective in 'rotten boroughs' although it sounds as though you are a convinced enthusiast of LTN. Not sure if you bothered to listen to the part of the podcast about the claim (also a component of resident lawsuits https://twitter.com/ShimanoSteve/status/1358509807297298432 etc) that wealthy 'leafy' boroughs are having traffic routed away from them at the expense of poorer areas getting more traffic, resulting in greater pollution.

My original point is that my sister can no longer cycle and is dismayed to find it a lot harder to get around by car, while her son (a v strong cyclist) has to pay £15 congestion charge every time he uses his car as he lives on a band. He is convinced London has 'a war on cars'.
>I remember Ron Paul saying we could do away with personal income tax - and providing facts to back up his argument - and people thought he might be crazy.

Income tax is a word that disguises the more accurate but insidious term: protection money.

If the govt wanted to to collect money 'legitimately' then should charge for their services. (so for example a big truck can pay more tax than say a car for use of the road).

Of course we know that since governments will generally do a worse job than private entities, so they will stick to income tax.
Most HN readers should have been able to work out it was a non-American comment, based on the "royal wedding" event option even if unfamiliar with Glastonbury and the proms.
>He pretty much abandoned his very popular website and went all in on YouTube. Why? Apparently watching video is so much easier than reading 3000 word article.

Learning from videos is lazy? Content you've learned is only valid if you read it? I'm not sure what exactly you're getting at, but I'm a visual learner and I much prefer (well made) videos over text. There's a visual and audio aspect to it enabling so much more information to be conveyed at once. For example, Dr. Sedgwick's video series on algorithms and data structures has animations as he steps through how algorithms work. He's overlaying his audio while displaying code and animating the "data" as it's processed by the algorithm. I have a physical copy of his book Algorithms but I go back to his videos when I need a refresher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wme8SDUaBx8
Nahh, forget trying to bin cells and build new packs - just use them as is.

Sell a PowerWall type thing made with a single 60/70/85KwH pack pulled from a vehicle after its downgraded to ~70% capacity. design your vehicle packs from day one for a second life as stationary energy storage, where size and weight don’t matter.
Haha. I'd be surprised if they work NEXT year.
By the same argument, you'd cheat and steal from literally anyone you could get away with cheating and stealing from. Because not doing it to them doesn't stop them from doing it to you.

But this isn't really how it works. Forebearance actually does have value because it changes society as a whole, shifts expectations at a broad scale, and creates moral authority to demand better from others which is persuasive and powerful.

At the end of the day, what kind of society do you want to live in? Will you contribute to making that society, or not?
It should be no mystery: people don't want to change their lifestyle, which is going to be needed to address this issue.

They used to own consumerist.com and I guess these people chose the password consumerist and because the Gawker system silently truncates at 8 characters they got consumer.
It's not just to solve the NAT problem. There are no servers in the traditional sense, it's a "cloud" of peer-to-peer clients (that are also, strictly speaking, servers), and you need some way of "bootstrapping" yourself into that cloud when you sign in. Supernodes fix this problem easily, but I have to wonder why it was a relatively short list hardcoded into the client... it wouldn't be hard to make it a bit more adaptable.

Ah, so it's not single sign-on really. It makes more sense now, thanks.
The question I'd really like answered: Let's say there are 1000 startups - there must be at least 5000 people who work at those startups. Of those 5000, how many of them actually reaped the benefits of working at the startup? How many made some large amount or went on to build their own startups?

In other words, these are the theoretical advantages of working at a startup - but does this reflect the real situation on ground?
> His words were quite harsh, but I do have to agree with him to some point. Rails has a culture of "magic", they have conventions on how to do things (e.g. naming stuff) and you aren't really allowed to diverge from that.

Here we go with the "magic". It is not magic, it just code. Many people are just too lazy to investigate why things works the way they do, and how to change it when the defaults don't fit their needs.

Just for the record, you are wrong about naming conventions, they don't act as mandatory, you can use configuration methods to set up things the way you like it. E.g

Class Users
set_table_name “Usuarios”
end

Rails has many drawback points, I rather prefer Django views, than Rails, but all this "magic" conspiracy theory is just childish.
> To make a bad joke -- you can pull PHP out of Apache, but you can't pull Apache out of PHP.

That's completely silly. Every setup I have right now is Nginx and php-fpm, neither of which have any relation to Apache or, indeed, any relationship to any other aside from communication to php-fpm via FastCGI.

These generalizations are really funny, because they demonstrate a lot of the misconceptions about PHP and its community.

Yegge points to the Tiobe language index as a metric to language adoption, and implies that "No" languages have low uptake. What about Lua? The Lua implementers don't accept public patches, rather they will rewrite public patches that are submitted, and only if the change makes sense (citation: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-06/msg00407.html). Yet Lua is #12, up from 20.

Saying "no" to language suggestions is not a bad thing, it all depends on the goals of the language and the philosophy of the language authors. Perhaps Yegge should try and understand the reasons why patches aren't accepted, rather than force their acceptance via his soapbox.

I'm a cofounder of Tule and happy to answer any questions.

A few corrections for the technical crowd:

This technology hasn't existed since the 1800's. It is derived from a technology called Surface Renewal that measures the turbulent transport of mass and energy from the planetary surface to the atmosphere. The concepts behind Surface Renewal were first developed in the 1930s by chemical engineers. These chemical engineers developed a model to describe the movement of gases into liquid media by fluid volumes interacting with the air-liquid interface. In the 1990s, UC Davis researchers adapted the Surface Renewal concept to the planetary surface-to-atmosphere interface. Recent improvements in the technology enable Tule to measure the amount of water vapor carried away from crop field by wind eddies.

Our technology was validated for accuracy against the gold standard research tools used in academia, lysimetry and eddy covariance.

What truly makes our technology exciting is that we can tell farmers the optimal amount of water to apply to maximize plant growth (yield) and plant stress (quality). Studies have shown that getting irrigation right can radically change yield and quality. Before our technology, farmers have never had the feedback to optimize irrigation. This is analogous to NewRelic locating the bottlenecks in your server performance. You can't optimize until you can measure.

As requested, here are links to the technology:

If all of this is true, its worse then I expected and I did not expect much. Why do all these companys wage a war against third party, even from a buissness perspective I don't get it. It creates innovation that you can copy for the offical app and its a perfect to test new features.
I appreciate the details you put into this response and I particularly like the point above around portability and that all of this is just an interface. Sometimes those interfaces (abstractions) are a bit leaky.

Thanks for the well wishes, you're right there is a ton of complexity but that's what makes it fun. Just don't yell at me too much when there are some bumps along they way.
Iceland has an interesting mechanism related to this. Some driveways have a gate with one vertical post on each side, and three removable horizontal beams. If the beams are moved aside, you may enter. If all three beams are hung in place, you must not enter. If two beams are up, you should seek permission to enter. That's how I remember it, anyway.

The point being, yes, you do need a lock or some mechanism to say "outsiders should stop here." You need this for two reasons: first so that honest people know where they are not welcome, and second so that dishonest people can be shown clearly to have broken a social contract.
I think the "corrected" title works fine, actually.

I don't come to HN for editorializing.
I can't imagine ever using Haskell for a startup. Unlike pg's python paradox, the only programmers I could imagine applying would be programming language theorists, toy programmers, and people who think they are productive (because arrows!), without ever having built anything ever. I would only do it if it meant I could hire John Macfarlane.

Having a family owned auto shop, I'll chime in here.

I didn't read everything but here is what the facts seem to be:

I found it odd that a "part list" is the root of the issue here since common repair software has lots of "lists" and diagrams. ex: http://www.ondemand5.com/ yet Ford isn't suing them...

The issue seems to be that this company hacked/stole/cracked/reverse engineered Ford's own software and is now giving non public data to the public. You really can't think that this is right... They clearly had to circumvent some kind of encryption. An obvious sign that you shouldn't be doing this... (hence why the encryption is there, no matter how simple)

Competition is a big issue in the automotive industry. There will be no "github" for your vehicle. Auto repair and manufacturing is a totally different world. And plus lives are at stake here. You can't have people unofficially getting part specifications and blindly stamping out inferior (and unauthorized) replicas.

Protection of IP is a big thing still in many industries. Even at my family's small shop, we get regular calls from people that download $10k auto repair software from bittorrent and call up the shop asking if they can install some "awesome" software for our shop for a low price of $500... There is a lot of money to be made by stealing in the auto industry.
Exactly but I don't think he read the links. Engineering designed system with triple tolerance. o rings had triple the corrosion, but management said it's still within tolerane, right? Triple corrosion but we have triple tolerance, so we're even right?

Engineering knew pretty well that wasn't the case, and that is not how tolerance works.

Feynman in his reports goes a long way to list all the overrides management did and how much the whole shuttle program was built on wishful thinking.

That'd be very cool, but you then run into the data collection issues of all of those platforms. Many Fediverse users aren't so much concerned with being censored by Big Tech as they are with being hit with targeted advertising.

To follow the trend.
Assuming that financial growth is your main motivation, here are few more examples:

- Change industries - move into finance, look for small proprietary trading shops. Depending on your skill level, this may (or may not) yield better total compensation levels

- Lower your taxes (may not be possible if you are from the US, but I did not make any assumptions). You can do so by changing countries, changing legal entities

- Lower your cost of living through remote work and geoarbitrage. 350k in NYC may buy you the same life as 200k in West Chicago. Bonus points if you can remote from Asia or South America. Morphing into this arrangement from an on-premises job is easier than looking for remote work right away

- Diversify active income streams - 2 part time jobs might give a better yield than 1 full time. Make sure there is no conflict of interests

All of these will eventually plateau, together with your development skills. At that point, the only way to grow is to diversify into skills that scale better (go into management, go into consulting, start companies, teach courses).

Hope this helps.

I did this with a coach for about a year. After that I installed a squat rack in my backyard and train on my own (with occasional one-on-one coaching sessions every six months or so to make sure technique hasn't gone to hell).

There's nothing like gaining strength. It doesn't have to be monster strength either. Most people can't lift 250 lbs off the floor. Going from struggling to lift a 60 lb bag of dog food with two arms to carrying one bag in each hand is massive improvement for 95% of people. The funny thing is that this isn't a crazy goal at all and it is attainable within a year for almost anyone.

One of my favorite things to do once I got to 250 lb deadlifts was to go to the regular gym every so often, pick up a 120 lb dumbbell with each hand and go do standing rows. I don't look like a bodybuilder at all. All the big huge guys doing 70 lb dumbbells could not understand what was going on. I'd literally grab 240 lbs of dumbbells and go to the bench to do a bunch of reps. A few asked what the hell was going on.

There's a difference between strength training and bodybuilding. It is my opinion that, for the average person, strength training is what brings more benefits, particularly as you get older. Bodybuilding can look good (in terms of body shape) but I am not sure it carries with it the same benefits. This is just my opinion, never really researched the topic beyond the basics.

As others have said: If you are going to do this, get a coach. It is critical to ensure you are using proper technique. Without this you could get stuck and struggle to make progress, get hurt or both.
BTW, this site (Bogleheads.org) is an awesome financial advice site.

>> With food, you control calories from roughly 1800 - 3500 per day, but with exercise, you only control 200 - 400.

In other words, exercise cuts 11-22% of calories on the low end, and only 6-11% on the splurge day.
Some HP calculators do (at least above the 49G, I am not sure about the 48). The HP prime is based on Giac/Xcas.
He only gets it half right. A filesystem interface instead of a block interface is the right choice IMO. Private storage instead of distributed storage is the wrong choice for capacity, performance, and (most importantly) availability reasons. They didn't go with a ZFS-based solution because it was the best fit to requirements. They went with it because they had ZFS experts and advocates on staff.

As Schopenhauer said, every man mistakes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world, and these are people who've failed to Get It when it comes to distributed storage ever since they tried and failed to make ZFS distributed (leading to the enlistment of the Lustre crew who have also largely failed at the same task). If they can't solve a problem they're arrogant enough to believe nobody can, so they position DAS and SAN as the only possible alternatives.

Disclaimers: I'm the project lead for CloudFS, which is IMO exactly the kind of distributed storage people should be using for this sort of thing. I've also had some fairly public disputes with Bryan "Jackass" Cantrill, formerly of Sun and now of Joyent, about ZFS FUD.
> To do this, you'd have to let the p and a methods to accept blocks.

They do—the problem is that blocks are used to express nesting. One could probably rewrite the interpreter to do what you suggest without too much of a headache.

> Ruby has some interesting possibilities in this space. (Then again, so does Lisp.)

If I were to write it again, I would be very tempted to use Lisp instead. The syntax wouldn't be as close to CSS as Ruby, but it would make it a lot easier and more natural to perform transformations on trees of rules.

Ultimately a decision whether to use a library like this is dictated by two factors: will the person writing the frontend code be happy using (and, presumably, debugging and patching) a library of this sort, and is the gain in expressivity sufficient to overcome the need to write it in the first place and then familiarise the users with it? As discussion elsewhere on this thread indicates, I suspect that most of the time the answer will be 'No'.

There are two reasons for this. Firstly, even if the sort of frontend developers who write lots of CSS are, in general, at least some sort of programmer, it's rare that they will be the sort to quickly become comfortable writing in Lisp. Secondly, while the gains in expressivity and maintainability when one can factor out repetition and introduce variables are important, presentation-layer code does not lend itself to the kind of reduction in size (by introducing abstractions) that application-level code is. It's hard to write very general CSS; one tends to quickly become bogged down in special cases.
Oh wow, those are some fantastic resources. What an awesome start, thank you.
