One more thing that IMO gets overlooked too often: TypeScript can typecheck your JSX markup. Compare that to any string-based templating engine, such as Knockout.js templates or jquery.tmpl, where you have to learn its snowflake DSL, you get no autocomplete, no checks for undefined variables or syntax errors…

Good question. Of the top 100 urban areas in the world by population, sorted by density, the San Francisco bay area is number 88 and New York City is number 90.

In addition, Los Angeles is number 87. The only other entry in North America is Toronto-Hamilton (#83).

The top 90 cities (i.e. up to and including New York City) have a combined population of 965 million.

Also note that smallest in the top 100 is 4.3 million, so this probably misses a lot of smaller but more dense cities.

I have an idea. Frogs are used in labs since a long, long time. We know a lot about their embryology and genetics. They have big eggs with easily accessible cells and lay plenty of them.

If we can make a transgenic tomato adding genes for frost resistance, we probably could make a transgenic frog adding korean frog genes for fungus resistance. Then release then in a safely enclosed area. If both kinds of frogs keep vanishing at the same pace, then fungus is a symptom and not a cause (or we did it wrong). If not, we would have discovered a last try to gain a precious time and save thousands of species in captiviy even if the zoos are in areas contaminated by the fungus.
Innocent until proven guilty is a legal standard, it is unreasonable and impractical to expect individuals to abide by it in their day to day life. Every day you are constantly making assessments on people based on the information you have, whether that’s in the context of a crime or otherwise. The justice system (in America especially) is not “fair” and does not treat guilt as the phrase “innocent until proven guilty” might lead you to believe — in many circumstances innocent defendants plead guilty.

Some people like to cling to the idea of innocent until proven guilty because it’s a nice sentiment that makes things easy — “I don’t have to make a decision about this person, I can just agree with the court outcome” — but it’s meaningless outside of the legal process. Many people do not have a clear understanding of what it takes to prove guilt in court (and also do not understand what can derail a conviction) and would be surprised to learn how difficult it can be in some situations where there is (to the layman) clear evidence.

Latitude and longitude can be used without an internet connection if you can get a GPS signal.

If you're a boy scout or doomsday prepper or 1800s explorer who fell through a wormhole, and have a bit of time, you can use the sun, stars and a makeshift compass to get a good ballpark.

It's a system which only requires you and your counterpart to both accept the contract of the coordinate system.

As many others here have pointed out fuzzy.enlarged.testicles doesn't mean anything unless we both have access to W3W, and then the directions which come from me needing to get from hairy.baked.potato to you at fuzzy.enlarged.testicles uses GPS. Because giving someone a print out of all the W3W plots they need to pass through is useless, because those phrases don't mean anything, because the system isn't contiguous or addressable.

It'd be like every house on a street having a different, non-contiguous number, different name and different postal code (134 wallaby 53217 next to 5678 futon 44444). Or for the Londoners, if the postal districts didn't increase as you moved outward.

It's a bad design with too many assumptions.

Because if you did that, you'd have to alert the pilots when the AoA sensors disagree and MCAS has been disabled. And you can't do that without training them on what that means, notably how the plane will now fly differently with what you might call "relaxed stability" at high angles of attack. And Boeing really really wanted to avoid retraining of pilots because apparently they had a contract with SouthWest that would cost then $1M per plane if retraining was required.
I've been looking at your site and I like your music theory lessons a lot. Great work!

One request - could you use a slightly longer attack on your 'basic tone' sound in the lessons? Currently there's a harsh click each time the tone plays. Just 0.05 seconds of attack would still give a 'punchy' sound, without the clicks.
Maybe time was an issue? Saw in an earlier post that the issue had to be mitigated within 40 seconds of it occurring.

This is it. Not only were web developers much more "bothered" with putting actual effort into trying to produce a considered product in the past, they did so without the tooling we take for granted today.

Half the projects I've worked on recently use contexualised i18n wrappers to process and output strings, or an equivalent custom generic React component, or similar. How simple would it be to add `lang=""` support to such a workflow, compared to what would have been involved in doing this 10 years ago (I'm aware this might seem exaggeration as 10+ years ago we still had similar stuff with gettext, et al—still used today by even Wordpress—but I'm more talking about recent changes to tooling-oriented frontend web development, which should in theory have made this type of stuff a lot easier).

Is there a protection that prevents the government from requiring an employee take an action that may be discovered?

Or even a reason? I mean, unless the backdoor has a hard-coded URL like `www.ThisIsAGovernmentBackdoor.gov.au`, then a backdoor wouldn't seem to automatically implicate the government. Then an employer might well assume that the employee is just doing their own hacking. And presumably the employee can't say otherwise, right?

Or does the law say that employees can refuse if they fear discovery? And if so, couldn't employees always just refuse on that basis?
Tetris Is Hard, Even to Approximate
I just had this conversation with some people recently. I've got 4 clients, bit off more than I can chew, and the switching costs take about 2-3 days unfortunately.

Some tips:

1. Don't switch right in the middle of something difficult. I do this as a way of procrastinating, and it takes a very long time to get into the rhythm again.

2. If something is a WIP over a break (e.g. weekend), get back to it as soon as you're back and don't switch.

3. I would recommend spending one week per client if possible, but it doesn't look like your situation. So another alternative is a time block like one day, or a half day.

4. You probably want to schedule meeting times, even if it's only one client. Interruptions are bad. The uncertainty of a future interruption could make you procrastinate. If you've got two clients, this anxiety is squared.

5. Some things have low switching cost, e.g. writing tests. This was one thing I frequently did on the train and it's a good way to buy time. Meetings too.

It is hard, and while two are okay, I wouldn't recommend doing more.

JS may be released in 1995 but it was not used much for anything except changing status bar messages, or image rollovers (remember those?) for at least ten years. Sure there also was Microsofts DHTML on IE, which failed to get much traction. Only starting with GMail and AJAX in 2004-2005 JS started to be treated seriously, it still took some years and SPA hype to become "a must". So about ten years max.
Also Rails was constantly evolving since inception, alas, a lot of JS is revolving, i.e. solving the same problems over and over again, just with different approaches.
The last point would be that people initially taking up Rails were not new to programming and usually switched from PHP or Java. Now Javascript is often the first (alas, often the only) language people learn.
So I'd say the culture is quite different.

> but my ability to learn new things rapidly

This is one of the issues in my experience, you might be in the minority there. I'm pushing 40 and notice I have a lot more interest in new technology and stacks than many of my colleagues (I've always been like that) - but the 'more experienced' they get, the harder it becomes to convince them of the advantages of new approaches, and disadvantages of their 'proven' way of working, especially seasoned developers.

They are also usually in more senior or team leader positions, which means they are very influential or can call the shots. I've seen months wasted on projects that could be just as well written in Python in a few days by a single developer, just because the 'senior dev' had something against interpreted languages and the only option for him was C++. As much as I liked the guy personally, and respected his skillset, he seriously limited technological progress within that company - which was a huge part of the reason I quit there and became freelance. Ever since - I've seen quite a few very similar situations.

Young people will jump into things without looking - which is not good, but saying no to them and blocking off their stupid ideas is a lot easier than saying no to a guy with 30 years of experience...
Interestingly the BBC doesn't actually do it's own forecasting, only relaying information provided by the firm it's contracted - Weather forecasting is done by a few companies in the UK, of which the BBC has a contract with one (MeteoGroup) and I believe ITV has a contract with another (the MetOffice).

I would get on and/or put my family on a -MAX flown by a US or major European carrier, where the crew training and experience requirements match my sensibilities of what should be required for airline transport operations.

That trip would no doubt be statistically safer than the flying we already do in single engine piston aircraft (itself an operation that prioritizes cost over the safety of flying a twin turboprop or twin jet that we can’t afford to own and feed).

Ask HN: How to work with a developer who avoids reading?
Someone recently joined our team as a junior dev. Their work is good, but I noticed that when they're learning something new they generally watch a video. Often it seems to me to find out how to do something that is effectively a couple of lines of code. I asked them about it and they said they remember things better when they visually see the effect it has.

Also there are times when I ask a specific question like "What does such and such a library function return?" and they'll say "two strings" but don't know if it's a list or a tuple, of if it ever returns None, or whether it raises an Error etc. So at that point I'll open up the library documentation and read it with them. But they will never on their own initiative open the docs. They do read SO and tutorials.

I'm struggling a bit to collaborate with them because I have a strong bias towards reading (docs or books) to understand and they seem to have the exact opposite. They seem almost sad when I send them a link to raw information.

Worse. Why don't they do it with three sensors and a voting system? By using two sensors, when they disagree, MCAS will have to be disabled. It seems the plane is unstable without MCAS, due to the forward positioning of the engines, requiring specific training and abilities from pilots.

All 737s have two AoA sensors - they're used for several purposes, not just MCAS. Originally MCAS used only one of the two sensors, though it alternated which one with each flight. The optional features were an AoA disagree indicator, and the AoA data itself being displayed on the cockpit displays. Having either optional feature didn't change the fact that MCAS only used one sensor.
