The issue with this is that if the website requires some external API for content, it might not work properly.

https://webrecorder.io/ solves that problem by recording all interactions and then replaying them as needed.

> Webrecorder takes a new approach to web archiving by “recording” network traffic and processes within the browser while the user interacts with a web page. Unlike conventional crawl-based web archiving methods, this allows even intricate websites, such as those with embedded media, complex Javascript, user-specific content and interactions, and other dynamic elements, to be captured and faithfully restaged.

The Java ecosystem is in an interesting place at the moment because it seems to me the penny has finally dropped and they are starting to prioritize footprint and startup time - probably becuase it's clear that you can't run a huge honking app server in a lambda service or even a VM that isn't horrifically expensive to rent, but the whole industry is moving towards that.

So now you have things like Micronaut that start up in milliseconds and GraalVM suddenly getting taken seriously etc. And (for example) with Micronaut you pretty much have all the advantages of Spring Boot but about 6 lines of Groovy gets you a perfectly configured REST style API end point that starts up in hundreds of milliseconds.

So it's going to be very interesting whether this "pivot" of the Java ecosystem works, and where that lands all the traditional Java vendors ....

Thanks. The "with(proxy)" part specifically would be mine. The old Google Caja, from the EcmaScript-5 days preceding Proxies, did something similar: https://github.com/google/caja/blob/master/src/com/google/ca...

The full new pattern, combining "with(proxy)" with a clever use of direct "eval", is from Caridy Patino of Salesforce.

The modern Realms Shim https://github.com/Agoric/realms-shim , and the SES Shim which builds on it https://github.com/Agoric/SES , is a collaboration of Agoric and Salesforce, especially JF Paradis of Salesforce.

We have come to refer to the fragment of code with the "with(proxy)" and the direct "eval" as the "Eight magic lines of code" and "The heart of the shim". It is explained at

The story I heard was that the trigraphs were added during standardization because ISO 646, the international version of ASCII, did not require the characters [ \ ] { | }.

Fun fact: ISO 646 is also the reason that IRC allows these characters in nicknames. IRC was created in Finland, and the Finnish national standard had placed the letters Ä Ö Å ä ö å at those code points.

Edit: That doesn't explain the trigraphs for # ^ ~. I'm guessing some EBCDIC variants lacked those. Or some other computer vendor on the committee still supported some other legacy character set.

I've been printing to PDF for decades now, and nothing comes close to the ease of use and versatility of 2 decades worth of interesting web pages .. I have pretty much every interesting article, including many from HN, from decades of this habit.

Need to find all articles relating to 'widget'?

$ ls -l ~/PDFArchive/ | grep -i widget

This has proven so valuable, time and again .. there is a great joy in not having to maintain bookmarks, and in being able to copy the whole directory content to other machines for processing/reference .. and then there's the whole pdf->text situation, which has its thorns truly (some website content is buried in masses of ad-noise), but also has huge advantage - there's a lot of data to be mined from 50,000 PDF files ..

Therefore, I'd quite like to know, what does monolith have to offer over this method? I can imagine that its useful to have all the scripting content packaged up and bundled into a single .html file - but does it still work/run? (This can be either a pro or a con in my opinion..)
> perception is that Hong Kong do not have a decent judiciary or legal system, it works at the whims of China (again a perception created by few). So the actual discussion no one wants to discuss or hear.

That's actually a bit surprising. I always had the opposite impression, at least in terms of judicial independence.

Most of the final appellate court judges aren't even Chinese which is remarkable (that it's mainly British, Australian and Canadian judges ruling in China).

The hardware engineering world (oil and gas, aerospace, civil) is less about ego and more about well established processes, practices and rules. These are much more mature industries than the software industry. In my experience intellectual posturing is much more a software industry thing than a hardware industry thing. Software developers are still struggling to figure out what's the best way to do things. SOLID, YAGNI, Agile, RUP, RAD, Clean Code, OOP/FP - they're all just the start of a maturing process. They will no doubt be superseded in time by other, better practices, just as they have superseded others. In mature engineering industries, the engineering rules and practices are well establishes. Much of this has come about because of accidents (and death - planes crashing, bridges collapsing, oil rigs exploding) and the court cases that follow. In the early oil industry health and safety mattered little. Same goes for the aerospace industry. These are hard lessons to learn and practices had to change. The cost of not changing was uneconomical.

The software industry is still growing up and best practices still have to be formally established. All the articles and books written about best practices in software - they're just the beginning - and most are probably wrong to some extent. Where does the intellectual posturing come from in the software industry? It's largely because of a lack of provably reliable practices and processes. The ones we have, are sold to us as 'the best thing' but they will eventually be found wanting. Ron Jefferies recent article about software estimating is a classic example (https://ronjeffries.com/articles/019-01ff/estimation-again/I...). Some people are so fed up with how unworkable estimating is that they're willing to ditch it entirely.

And so, in the absence of mature, provably reliable practices and processes the way is open to 'who's ego is the biggest' because those with big egos (but not necessarily a lot of experience) often think they know best (Dunning-Kruger). Their proposals (which are just as likely to be wrong as anyone else's) tend to be adopted simply by force of ego. For instance, you wont hear terms like 'code smells' in the hardware world (I worked as a software developer in oil and gas and rail transport for 30 years and never once heard it mentioned). To say "that's a code smell" is a kind of intellectual put down. It's intended to insult a developer into doing something differently and thereby elevate the speaker as someone who 'knows the right way'. Eventually, these things will disappear and the software world will have reliable, accurate processes, practices and rules and the 'code gurus' will be consigned to history.

And that's when the intellectual posturing will end.

They're "touch surfaces" (fancy speak for capacitive buttons) and they're every bit as tactile as a touchscreen. Which is not at all. The second you try to feel your way across any control surface you'll just randomly trigger all the functions you drag your fingers across without receiving any useful feedback. You have to look at the buttons before pressing.

They do still have a handful of buttons for commonly used functions on the center console/steering wheel (temperature, sound volume, parking brake, menu navigation) but everything else falls on the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.
My sister was at a boarding school just 3 years ago and exactly this happened when she broke her ankle - the school nurse told her to get some paracetamol and sleep it off. After seeing the picture of it I had to ring them up, demand that someone take her to the hospital for an x-ray, and they of course sent us an invoice for £50 for "transport to the hospital" anyway. Nothing happened to the nurse even though I complained higher up as far as I know.

Absolutely! Even now, I certainly don’t feel exploited or angry about my volunteer effort. It was my first experience with any sort of online community and I’ll treasure it forever.

I do side-eye the decision to take minors as volunteers — as grateful as I was/am for the experience personally — because even circa 1996 that seems like a questionable idea. (Though in truth, I suppose if there had been an age limit and not a teen sunset program overseen by a nice adult volunteer, I suspect many of the teens would’ve just lied about their age. I know I would have!)

I wanted more space for my website and to give back/learn. This program provided that.

Over the two years I was a volunteer tree, I got an Amazon gift certificate, some GeoCities merch, and some stock that was at one point worth $20,000. I will always be grateful.

So I mean, coffee shops in general, yes. But at least in urban areas? Starbucks seems to be really well-designed to maximize throughput and profit; they have fewer seats, usually per cup of coffee sold than the smaller coffee places, and generally seem to be set up for 'to go'.

It's one of those things where if I look at it as an investor, I really like it, but if I look at it as a consumer, the opposite.

If you have a condition now you will be seen the same day even if it's not an emergency. I had a high fever for a couple of weeks and finally decided to see a GP - got an appointment in 2 hours of the call to the surgery, GP told me to go to the ambulatory care department at the nearest hospital(nothing to do with emergency care there) and I was admitted and seen pretty much within an hour of arriving. Spent several days over the next month in and out of the hospital, had some treatments done = no bill was ever produced.

Also when my wife had to get an MRI done going private wasn't that much quicker than NHS - you still had to wait a couple weeks through her private health insurance at work.

While I really hate that this attack is even possible, a nice feature with a car manufacturer that regularly and often update the software/firmware is this:

"In response to those attacks, Tesla started rolling out [...] If an owner activates the “PIN to Drive” function [...] anyone entering the car will have to know your PIN in order to be able to drive away."

And why wouldn't the car (all vulnerable cars) deactivate when it one minute later (or X meters) doesn't detect the key in the car? Ie do a second poll of the key.
Somewhere, as a society, we should have thousands of these with random collections of "stuff" like this. It seems like finding combinations that can survive indefinitely would be useful.
You are right, we cannot handle the nuclear waste from coal power plants. As far as nuclear waste from nuclear power plants go we can handle those very well because the volume is significantly less and there are very strict rules how to handle it.
>> Furthermore, even knowledge of something does not necessarily entail ability to reproduce something.

Well, since we're on a philosophical footing, I'll say that knowledge of what intelligence is does not entail the ability to reproduce it, but the ability to reproduce intelligence entails knowledge of what it is.

(A |= B means that, whenever A is true, B is true, but not necessarily v.v.)

You are right to say that knowledge of what intelligence is does not entail the ability to reproduce it, since for example there may be hard practical obstacles to realising the necessary technologies etc. But I would think the ability to reproduce intelligence entails knowledge of what it is, assuming intelligence is something very complex that we will not just spontaneously obtain by chance, for example by a lucky combination of various random elements. We have certainly been trying to reproduce intelligence on computers for a while now- and failed. So it doesn't seem to be something in the order of, say, coming up with a cure for some ailment by trying things that we believe "should work" and that works in a way we don't quite understand etc.

All of which, given it's true, implies that we will not reproduce intelligence until we understand it.

I assume you implicitly mean that exclusive streaming deals shouldn't be allowed either. If so, I agree (if not, then the whole scheme can be trivially worked around).

Movies (or games, music, books) aren't commodities. When single vendors can get exclusive distribution rights, the space becomes much less competitive, and this removes the benefits customers are supposed to get from competition.

I've got a better idea: let's continue to get rid of fingerprinting and third-party cookies alltogether, then place ads on topical interesting sites (eg lets return to content-based ads).
