Only sane way, you missed a word. Of course there are other ways, but they clearly flawed in my opinion. I used to hate web development before 2014 and now I love it. Php is an awful language, jquery was a nightmare. Angular makes no sense hence why it keeps reinventing itself, Vue forces you to have some logic expressed using an ad hoc language in templates like it’s 2010 instead of just using JS constructs etc...

I stand by my point, I am yet to find a use case where some form of react is not the best solution. Whether it is server side rendered, a single page app, or statically rendered.

The only criticism I hear about react boil down to people complaining about bad practices that are not linked to react, but merely conflated with it, like not caring about bundle size, messing architecture or other aspects that are orthogonal.
I got one of those old-school double edge razors. Blades are essentially free (bought a 100 pack 5 years ago for 15$, and half of them are still there), and it doesn't terribly clog like a cartridge would even if you have a longer beard.
The page offers a pretty deep comparison at https://flif.info/example.html

FLIF relies on progressive loading instead of lossy compression, and still beats BPG and WebP except on the very low end.
You're right. I've got the same. It looks like the VMWare kexts don't get loaded until you launch VMWare Fusion and they're unloaded when it exits.
Here is a model for the author:

give money to things not to people, people should have enough to live. Food, safe place to stay etc.

i dont want to pay for people to become rich just necause he/she produced a thing I enjoyed.. I dont have to be responsible for artists, creaters being alive, safe etc. I am just a person expects same comfort as creater... creater might have a chance to accomplish his/her passion position in life but most of us should/must do the ugly things... that doesnt mean that people create something are always good at what they do... actually they are not most of the time...

prize tag is for goods not for people...
We used to use alpine because it was smaller (ferrying images in and out of AWS adds up) and the package management UX often felt better (the community and testing repos tend to make many things easily available, which led to simpler and easier to follow Dockerfiles).

Eventually we switched to Debian-based images because of intermittent DNS-related woes that plagued our alpine containers. We struggled to isolate the cause but it seemed to be a combination of Node + Consul DNS. Suddenly those saved gigabytes and smaller Dockerfiles didn’t seem worth the hassle; after jumping to Debian we never saw that issue, nor anything similar.
I was hoping to find your comment in this thread, thank you so much for this. It makes me mad someone else is controlling these very basic things, treating their userbase like mindless monkeys. All these things could be hidden somewhere in the UI, and everybody would be happy.
Why would the lack of a progressive mode matter? How is a progressive mode better than a "loading..." spinner?
>The fact is that it is much easier to convince me to pay $10 to get a new release instead of forcing on me $10/yr subscription.

For the average person this is not the case assuming you as a creator are trying to extract similar value. That means you're pushing out a new release every year. That either means the new release invalidates the old one or is so enticing every time that people keep buying it without skipping releases as they think about it or are reminded unlike a subscription which can be automated.
We follow the pattern Java/.NET traditional BE stacks, Vue and Angular (on this order).

So far I have only deployed Angular once in production for an IoT Dashboard.

It was based on Material Dashboard, it was good enough for the monitoring use case, but it was for on-premises deployment.
I caught the Clojure strain of the functional bug. OOP is the devil, and mutable state is his pitchfork. “this” was a mistake.

The more I can compose with pure functions that operate on immutable data, the happier I am.
I'm having trouble envisioning very many markets where a "fan" is going to consistently spend $1k/year.

The article mentions professional training and education, which makes sense.

I can also see certain people spending that kind of money on physical goods (mechanical keyboards, audiophile equipment, one-of-a-kind art pieces) but $1k of revenue from physical goods is very different from $1k of income.

Other than that, the only things I can think of would be direct access to a celebrity or some form of conspicuous consumption. ("That game you play all day? I personally cover 40% of its operating costs.")

I don't see how the average webcomic artist or food blogger can achieve anything like what is described here.
Along with the Judean Date palm(2000 years old), there's also the sacred lotus from China (1300 years old) and an arctic flower from Siberia (32000 years old!):

> Buying people off isn’t a result of capitalism

Buying people off is the essence of capitalism.
One thing to consider is that the copyrights for the GNU project, are assigned to (and thus owned by) the FSF. I interpret this "minimizing change in the practical aspects of this cooperation", as implying that the status quo, of the GNU project assigning copyright to FSF hasn't changed, and would probably be in nobody's interest to change.
I do the same, but I just turn WiFi and mobile data off. Nobody calls me anyway, especially not in the middle of the night, so it's still available for emergencies. Also I still use the phones alarm clock, that ensures that I really have to get out of bed to turn it off.
Systemd isn't safe to run anywhere
Depends on which circles you move on.

Enterprise Java and .NET shops usually reach out for Angular first.

And I have no intentions to ever advise React with its FP approach with a myriad of endless libraries, to devs that just want to get stuff done.
Public Preview of PowerShell Support in Notebooks
Tech being filled with narcissists is not a good thing. It drives many away who could provide better balance, and does major damage long term to the culture. There’s a big backlash against the “arrogance” of Silicon Valley for a reason.
If you can enable it you can change other config like ACLs as well.
It can be but it looks like it balloons a lot of files to do so.

I never understood the need (desire) to update your dependencies as much and often as possible. As long as a project builds and runs without any issues, why put effort in upgrading libraries and exposing yourself to possible issues.
Choosing Between OpenBSD and FreeBSD
The narcissistic dynamics is a bit different: a narcissist pretends he is perfect and everything that is wrong is in or caused by the outside world and other people. (Deep down he is not sure of that, but is terrified to even consider that it might be possible to think to have a real look.) Now, if you're not satisfied with yourself this is very non-narcissistic. Selfish and/or autistic perhaps, but it's different. (Plus, all these are words that try to delineate rather vague concepts anyway; it's not that important to find the "right" label here, it would actually obscure the real picture.)

I cannot suggest a specific approach, but I'd recommend to trust your guts on this and watch out for serendipity moments. Like picking a book that "looks at you" even if it is doesn't fit your idea of how it must be done (e.g. picking a religious book if you're not religious). Or bypassing a book store and going to a dance studio instead. I'd say it's not that common to want to change yourself like this and if you have come to this, then you have something in you that might guide you.
OpenBSD Is Fantastic
FreeBSD Is an Operating System
They are, I frequently stare at half-loaded UI on Facebook, and I'm using a fairly recent Macbook Pro.
And if they complete the challenge it’s a strong indication that they are a good fit for the role where they may otherwise be presumptuously dismissed for not having an expected level of experience. Id rather hire people who put in effort that expect their tenure in an industry to buy them future jobs.
Yeah exactly. I do something similar (Angular, .NET Core) and use Angular for apps that the customer never sees.
What I got from this post:

Network economy matches userland economy.

We should henceforth refer to billionaires as "whales".
React: discover that function alone doesn't do all that is expected from an UI Framework, go hunting for a myriad of libraries to handle state, communications across components, tune performance 'cause FP approach makes GC do overtime, endless hours explaining to fellow devs what is this FP stuff all about,....
> Tell me about a book, cd or movie that you've read/listened to/watched that was interesting or excited you. [...] You'd be surprised how many people get tripped up by this.

Yeah, because they'd rather be shown to freeze up rather than have the conversation go like this:

Them: I actually really liked the album Mouth Moods. It's an album full of remixed songs and mash-ups, kind of like what Weird Al does.

You: Oh? I've never heard of that. Tell me about your favorite song on that album.

Them: Oh... uh.... it's a song called Bustin.

You: Bustin?

Them: Yeah it's... well, it's the song from Ghostbusters but chopped up and remixed.

You: So it's about busting ghosts?

Them: Uh... well... no. It's about how bustin... makes me feel good.

You: I'm sorry? What are you busting that makes you feel good?

Them: Never mind, forget I said anything.
Helping Europeans Succeed: Google’s Impact in Europe
I hear you. Coming from one of the rogue nationx when it comes to climate change, I have my moments too.

Still, on reflection, I'm pretty sure our current trajectory was inevitable the moment humans developed agriculture. We're the wildly pullulating caterpillar devouring our tree, and always were going to be just what we are. Just another species. Just another dead end in evolution's exploration of ecological state space.

Ask HN: What agenda do you have for 1:1 meetings with your supervisor?
I recently changed managers and I haven't been doing 1:1 meetings with the previous one. Since the new manager seems to prefer a more systematic approach, I figured I could ask you guys - do you have a plan before going into these kinds of meetings? What kind of talking points do you often have?

After 2 years of Angular madness I will send my resignation and I hope I will never work with it again.

My app is a big stack of workaround stuff that might break anytime. Because that is how angular work. Some stuff work in a context and doesn't in an other. Nobody's know why !
They have so much issue on Github that they need a bot to close them after a while. They hope the bug disappear by himself ?
I would imagine because Security issues are exposed in dependencies.
Well I just took a screenshot and tried it. BMP: 6MB. lzma-compressed bmp: 75K. PNG through optipng and pngcrush: 178k.

Not very surprising imho. PNG was never a strong compression format to begin with.
I dallied with VSCode when work forced me to deal with a gigantic lump of Typescripted React, but in the end I found that emacs with tide/prettier was a nicer experience, so I ended up going back, as I always do, to emacs.
I recently interviewed at Google and Facebook. They provided valuable feedback at every stage of the process. It gave me a good impression on the companies culture and the people who work there, and only makes me want to re-apply in the future.
I rebuilt my company's homepage and SaaS customer area from scratch in half a year, after the old 20 people jQuery team had been stuck for months implementing framework-like features with no useful progress.

I guess whether or not you'll be productive with Angular depends a lot on your experience and expectations. I come from the C++ world and Angular felt like MFC, so oddly familiar.
This is a "think piece" and not based on any research or data. In reality, I'm seeing lots of relatively small entertainers do the 1000 Fans Thing on Twitch and it really works because each subscriber pays 5 USD per month.
Off topic: I just learned that the Hebrew word for honey was also used as their word for syrup. Before refrigerators existed fruit went bad quickly, unless something was done with it. Grapes were turned into wine but other fruit was simmered down to a thick syrup. When the Bible says the Jews arrived in Israel and it was the land of milk and honey, they actually meant date honey. That is, date syrup. That is, there were a lot of dates.
Decompressing and recompressing a zip gives a lossless copy of the actual data, but there's no way to reconstruct the same exact zip you started with.

The same thing can be done with image data. For something like jpeg you can keep the coefficients but store them in a more compact form.

For what it's worth JPEG XL claims that it's 'reversible', but I'm not sure if that means you get your original jpeg back, byte for byte, or you get an equivalent jpeg back.
What a terrible analogy. SEO content is written to market the site the best you can on search engines, obviously you want to write what people are looking to meet their needs for and its easy to do this with Google. It's very different purpose from writing a good book or writing good journalism.

ClassPass Is Squeezing Studios to the Point of Death
Yes. Romania. What you think software didn't run in Romania?

What did you use, Dragon Speech? Maybe it worked better for you? I can assure you for non-native speakers it was pure crap. Also, what was the usage in western world? I know they had _some_ sales, but I don't remember it exactly taking off.

Lastly - you're obviously willfully ignoring progress, like translation for instance works so much better with RNNs and attention. The basics of RNN were indeed there (LSTM was just published - though e.g. GRU is more recent), but attention was not. And attention is critical. That's just one of the things that's not "basically the same" and "worked just as well 20 years ago".
I get where you're coming from, however, I think having an update cycle, even if it's something like once in 18 months, is important, especially as a responsibility one has to their project's successors.

There's nothing worse than coming to a project riddled with deprecation warnings and when one tries to update, breaking changes in libraries result in a ton of issues.

Also, it can (and most likely will at some point) affect your release dates when unexpected issues arise due to deprecated APIs.
While brain drain is a thing, why do you feel that this is a noteworthy example? The phenomenon clearly predates the EU and for this course in particular, you can get the same thing in universities all over Europe.
Nay, very related!
The most honest answer in the whole thread.
The theory goes that it’s better to show the user something resembling the final image than showing them a generic loading spinner.
School league tables: Boys behind girls for three decades
The talk is by the FLIF author. One of the big marketing points for FLIF is its progressive mode. Of course every other codec will be criticized for not having one.
1. The article shows a pyramid and it's important. In order to get a few "true fans" (people prepared to pay dearly for what you produce), you need a large amount of "distant fans" (people who like what you do, as long as it's free). The key word is conversion, and, regrettably, it's not present once in the post [0]. It's probably in the 1 to 0.1% range.

[0] Edit: In fact it is (convert). However in the next paragraph the concept is somehow replaced with "whaling", which means that a few paying customers help support a large group of free riders, or conversion in reverse. This is misleading. The large group needs to be there first.

2. At the $1000/year price point, it's not an artistic production anymore. Most examples are about "courses", about teaching something to a specific audience. Some of the topics are questionable and sound a little scammy (physiotherapy?), may be preying on people's vulnerabilities (private coding classes for kids?) or playing on vanity (having a celebrity streamer play along with you). This is Goop territory. Is this the future we want?
Is there any information on their stance regarding the environmental impact of failed launches? The propellants alone are usually toxic, plus the amount debris of each failed launch. Did they factor these externalities into their cost as well? At 1 million dollar per launch and 250k$ manuracturing cost alone, I am not sure this part of their cost model.
It's possible the other guy being interviewed seemed like a smart person and had no trouble with the code. If they had to hire one, they hired the one that was less risky.
I think the problem is your "ect.", in recent years number of various minority groups that might feel discriminated has grown and keep growing. You never know what will be next discriminated minority that you might offend and that will might sue you next year for some seemingly innocent explanation.

Why anyone would anyone take a risk? To make someone feel better?

Some amount of data at the end of the file won't be usable, but it's easy to make a format that's resilient to you chopping anywhere.
It was honestly a good move, with all upside and no downside, influence moves in subtle ways. The rabid internet mobs who move from one issue to the next with no concern for the bigger picture made quick work of it though.

I truly wonder if these people reflect on what they did, was it in the interest of human suffering or simply petty signalling?

Was nothing more than a title, much like the CEO's and Senior engineers in startups. Saying this as a code artisan.

Autopilot must be a really high-margin feature for Tesla. $7k for basically a remotely-managed software license the end-user has no real control over. Once the costs of development, maintenance, and labor are recouped, then each successive AP activation is a big extra margin for Tesla over the normal vehicle price.

The entire "Autopilot" feature is technical ability driven by marketing to pump more money out of their car sales. Good business for Tesla, but a shitty thing to do to consumers to treat autopilot as an owner-dependent feature and not as a feature that could be handed off. That's one of the biggest negatives to having cars that can innately phone home to the manufacturer - it gives Tesla the power to giveth and taketh away at their discretion, and leave the car and consumer S.O.L.
If the interview task is objective (come up with an algorithm for this problem and derive its big-O complexity), then feedback is less required, because the candidate knows exactly what skills they should improve. Unfortunately, many people today think objective interview tasks are "brain teasers", "toy problems", "instead ask me how I can add value to business" and so on.
The baby analogy is pithy, but I don’t really see the comparison.

You don’t do your software development in increments smaller than a month? What does that mean, you spend two months just writing specs?
Sorry, but this isn't true. We take a lot of time going over a candidates test. The point of the take home is so that we can get a feel for the candidates level of coding competence, ability to commit to a deadline, ability to read and follow instructions and it also helps to generate questions for an on-site interview. Not bothering to read the test through properly would be a waste of our own time, as we'd not achieve any of those things.

So please, stop making assumptions about companies and take home tests. Unless you've worked for that company in a hiring capacity you have no idea what their process and motivations are.
Who in the hell is going to pay another individual $1000 a year to make content? That's more than a year's subscriptions to Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix!

One of the root ideas in the True Fans essay was a fan would be willing to spend a day's wage for a year's worth of content from a creator. A large portion of the population at large can pay a day's wage for say 52 hours (a creator spitting out and hour of content a week) of entertainment. Out of that population, argues the essay, a creator needs to only find a thousand True Fans out of the population that can afford the $100 in order to make a living.

That's not only workable math but something that's doable. The market can support the model, it won't always and in every situation but it can. At the reasonable "day's wage" level many people can afford to support multiple creators. Spending $200 a year for content is still in the affordability range of a large portion of the populace.

A far far smaller portion of the population at large can afford $1k for 52 hours of entertainment. It's definitely not a tenth of the $100 population, it's more likely a fraction of a percent. So any given creator isn't likely to find 100 True Rich Fans, they're going to find maybe one if they're lucky. The market isn't going to support a model where a few dozen hours of entertainment costs a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars will get you a game console, a TV, subscriptions to a bunch of streaming services, and a ton of games. Even fewer of these whales could support multiple creators so very few creators could ever possibly survive of the whale model.

What is the company formation process of a Hong Kong company??
The incredibly annoying thing about this is that there's a really obvious case - software tools. There should be so many cases of people who have written a useful tool and have 100 businesses who pay $1000/year because that tool is the backbone of their $1000 * xxx profit.

The fact this doesn't happen very often is a significant failure of the tech industry.
