that sounds like a you problem, not a js problem. i always prefer vanilla libraries because i only need to know js, not js and a framework. if you need a framework to stop someone from designing something poorly, they are probably not very helpful to begin with.

And plenty of reason to think against. The "dg" sound doesn't come through in "Frigidaire" at all. It does have an actual letter "d" present, but with the "i" in between the sound becomes entirely different. Compare to refrigerator, where the "frige" portion of the word slants easily to rhyme with "ridge."
But, those animals are trained to stay away from humans. You won't see them out in the wilderness, at least not for long. And, you won't be able to catch up to one in the brushes where there's thorns, bushes, and all kinds of stuff that can stick you.

I wouldn't go to the grocery store just for bread. Amortized over all the other groceries it's very little effort to grab a loaf.

I guess if you practice enough you can make bread quickly, but I'm not picky about carbs and making rice with a rice cooker is like, 1 minute of effort, so hard to beat that.

We invented huge anonymous cities where either tight surveillance or gang wars flourish, extermination camps, total war and many other wonders. Let's explain to any tribe that we, 'people', painfully devised and realized ways to massively and indiscriminately kill very remote civilians using dedicated complex machinery (ICBMs), then discuss about who is 'people' for who.

Comparing the 'costs' of nearly-constant but limited tribal violence to our own 'civilized' violence isn't easy.

This makes me think of the report [1] that Apple won’t let movie bad guys have iPhones, or apparently soda companies won’t let you see branded soda cans being thrown in the trash in movies.

It does seem to me like it shouldn’t be in the public interest to allow brands to fully control representations of their products in media since that clearly provides a mechanism to stifle critical representations (or even simply accurate ones that don’t match the desired corporate image).
Sending spam on the gmail web UI is considerably harder than a few lines of shell script needed to spam over SMTP. And arguably, the web UI should really add the same Received headers.

Ask HN: Can someone help me build a basic autonomous tool carrying ag platform?
it doesnt have to be fancy. agtech and VCs are not going to build anything meaningful for food producing farmers.

guaranteeed, the thousands of vulnerable farm workers are going to succumb to this pandemic. they already have compromised immune system form pesticides and pollution and no insurance.

even if they remain healthy, they deserve technology to keep them safe and healthy. as a farmer, i want to be able to continue farming without sacrificing econommically vulnerable populations. i want affordable technology that makes farming easy on smaller acreage for local food security.

it will be a changed world when these next four weeks of quarantine ends. we still have to grow food. small acreage farmers need help.

i am not a technical person, but i know every single ag platform out there and that has been out there for the past five years. i have seen them in action. i know how they work and i know how they will fail. i know their strengths and weaknesses. farming is my domain. tech isnt.

any input or thoughts also helpful.

There were staged news, like newspaper articles showing in astonishing detail Saddam's biological and chemical weapons, which oops didn't exist. Also check where the La Tortuga island is located, It's right next to the coast, surrounded by other island, pretty dangerous location to just be drifting without paying attention to where you are.

I'm not saying, that's definitely the reason they are there, I'm saying it's pretty weird and odd timing to suspect ulterior motives.
Occam's razor.

This is a bug with ""several potentially catastrophic failure scenarios". Yet, its not been fixed in the ~10 years since it first flew. Nor is it the first, there have been a number of fairly critical bugs on this airplane that took a long time to diagnose before changes were submitted for certification.

So, In ~10 years and many major revisions of the aircraft, multiple re-certifications, etc none of them have bothered to fix it. One might argue they are afraid of changing the software because it might cause other catastrophic failures, but that leads down a thought process just as severe.

I agree that wider inequality is a likely outcome.

There will be people who won't be able to spend anything because the depression drained them absolutely, and there will be people who are accumulating income that they can't spend due to the lockdown, and will have the funds to resume all the postponed vacations with vigor as soon as they can - in the aftermath, tourism will be cheap for those who have discretionary funds for tourism, because many won't, and the service industry will be agressively competing for any income they can get while having a cheap workforce.
It's a great opportunity for Palantir to do some corona-washing and get their hooks into EU Govt.

On the plus side, Palantir has a reputation for delivering results. Govt needs to do location and contact tracking on a mass scale, integrated with the test regime, and it needs rapid analysis of this data.

Negatives include what they will do for governments post the immediate Corona crisis. I'm expecting forcible deportation on a mass scale to deal with the long tail of hard to manage infected populations, and general xenophobia.
i don't think most people read "zero latency" and think literally 0 ns of latency, because, as you said, it is trivially impossible. If you read any length of documentation you will see how the latency is orders of magnitude less than sending it out directly. That's close enough to zero latency for me.

What is the CDC saying about masks for covid-19? Are you saying they're not effective or the CDC is downplaying their effectiveness?
One possible way around this is to use phone number extensions, although I haven’t researched how well supported this might be across apps and the web.
Did you ever consider that the CDC guidelines for masks were intended to prevent hoarding so that those treating patients on the front lines could access them?
The majority of Christians world wide are catholic, though. Orthodoxy has a similar doctrine, too.

yes to this a 1000 times! It's amazing how our familiarity with certain interfaces changes our behaviour too. Anything that resembles a chat box and a "hit enter to send" encourages chat like behaviour. No matter whether it's threaded or otherwise. Interfaces like Jira or other software management tools which have ceremony involved before actually creating a task encourage people to think through things fully before hitting create.

I'm a huge advocate of async work especially in remote teams. Every real time chat about an importan decision has felt chaotic as people type message after message adding details and leaving out others which causes this long back and forth between people. The end result is always a mess leaving it to someone to go through it again and summarize information.

Messaging is just a bad format for focused conversations. Ceremony and friction are, like you say, a good thing. The physical parallel to this is sending in a request for a meeting with some details as opposed to just walking up to someone to chat with an idea you just had.

Not to say messaging is bad for everything. But it's definitely not good for calm, slow, focused conversations.
Thanks for sharing this link. Saw this video once and was COMPLETELY blown away but didn't know where it was from.
I feel like the real solution is your terminal should ping every hour, and if a ping test fails it should auto-reset itself and file a bug for the developers with whatever state information is needed for them to fix the bug.
> We could also use UTF8, but since we assumed the language is German, we’ll stick to ASCII

German cannot be expressed in ASCII[1]. For that fact, neither can Chinese nor Spanish, the two most spoken languages besides English. Also UTF8 doesn't even encode all the languages ever spoken. So IMHO this is at least an order of magnitude wrong.

right but everyone is out and about. while people in asian wore masks when they went grocery shppping. i get what they did but they screwed civilians for sure in the name of saving doctors. they actively lied about them being needed so one group would have a better chance. the truth is if you were going to have any contact with someone you needed a mask.

I take it as a tongue-in-cheek spec, much like Capn Proto's claim of infinity times faster than gRPC.
For you? I'd say do whatever you think best. It's an imperfect world we're all trying to survive in. I mean, as ominvores, we only survive through the destruction of other life, which is kinda horrific. But it's not like there are great alternative choices. Meat is murder, but I'm still having ribs for dinner.

As I said, I don't think door-to-door sales is good either; it's just that the time cost is symmetric, so it's less abuseable. But it's still bothering people to get paid.

In a better world, people would find out what they need to know without manipulation. And that better world is partly here. If I know I need to buy a thing, I'll look at things like Wirecutter and Consumer Reports to get unbiased evaluations of things. If I know I have a problem but don't know a solution, I'll search, I'll read up, I'll consult forums like this one. And of course I read broadly so I can become aware of problems I don't realize I have yet.

But it's only partly here. So if that's not enough for you, well, do what you have to. My issue here isn't with people doing what it takes to get by. It's with people insisting we all pretend that there are no moral compromises involved.

Imagine a machine learning algorithm to write Perl.

This algorithm is allowed to run for 4.5 billion years, and it has produced, through random iteration, a very good CMS.

The CMS works great most of the time, but there's a bug which rarely happens, which crashes the whole system.

This bug has been correlated with lines 4632486 and 434876365 in module132413.pl being executed, but it is not exactly clear how.

Your job is to figure out what these lines of code do, and how they cause the bug. Here they are, and you can download the whole source on github:

module132413.pl:4632486: $a4918732 = $b13rqw9 && chomp $dfadfaadf4r;

Good luck with the debugging!
It was several years ago, so I don't remember the details, but I have heard echos of the sentiment in the recent criticism of alzheimers research. I.e. that amyloid plaques may actually be the equivalent of a cellular AC that's been misidentified as the reason the room is hot.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05719-4

>“The current approach is based on the idea that amyloid-β is bad,” says Perry. “My idea is the opposite.” He suggests that amyloid-β and tau accumulation is actually a protective response to age-related metabolic pressures in the cell.
Well, all he's really doing here is pointing out it's not time to pop the cork on the bottle yet.

That's not the same as saying this work won't help lead to that. We can all hope it does while waiting to know for sure.

I appreciate the additional info and context provided.
Encoding schemes like UTF-8 don’t affect compressed size much. What matters is the quantity of information.

I used MS Teams at work, which already has this "thread-first" method of communication.

MS Teams is garbage overall. But the threaded-only chat style is actually kind of nice. It's easy to keep conversation threads in order, and people tend to veer less into off-topic banter. Plus I can just keep IRC and Discord open in the background for banter.

There is the general principle. Connecting things to the internet reduces security. You'll get hacked. You should protect your financial information, employee private data, customer private data, and work product.

It's especially important when the work product includes hazardous information. We had enough to cause large-scale disaster. Maybe I'd best leave it at that.

Even the smaller stuff is a problem. Imagine full data dumps from places like the Federal Reserve, Google (particularly Gmail and Project Zero), or Verisign.

Things can build over the years. At first it doesn't seem like a big deal to be on the internet. It's convenient. You don't have to buy two computers for everybody. Eventually, if you notice it or not, you may have a large amount of dangerous data.
As another commenter mentioned here, sailors usually have family and/or relatives that they call in addition to myriad other ways of communicating to the outside world. There is no way that a breakout of COVID-19 could remain a secret. What are sick sailors going to tell their families? And how would you prevent a news investigation from talking to those sailor's families and putting together 2 + 2?
I would disagree about "always" polar opposites. For example SSO/iDP like Okta add a ton of security but also makes it easier while more secure for employees to log in to their multitude of company apps.
Ramming (or "shouldering") is not that uncommon. The Chinese Coast Guard has built large, lightly-armed ships[1] partly because the size helps them ram/shoulder other ships out of the way in the course of attempting to build artificial islands and claim sovereignty in the South China Sea.

Of course, ramming an 8500-ton icebreaker with a 1500-ton corvette is a different story, and in the Venezuelan case, the stupid have been punished.

They are the exact same thing. We have just transplanted those tribal aspects to our modern world, but we still are the same people.
Pandemics (COVID-19 included) aren't possible in an usual tribal zone, where population density remains low (because there is not industrial ways to produce food) and people travel much more slowly and rarely than we do (because there is no vehicle).

Many (maybe even most(?)) our modern thingies, respirators included, are only useful/necessary because we live as we do.

IMHO the bottom line is: are we more happy and fulfilled to live as we do than to live like 'Lynx' (the woman subject of the article) does?
> But it's rivalrous in a distinctive way--it's a function of contemporaneous and evolving limitations of the existing state of technology and usage patterns.

> Whether a new radio system "interferes" with existing ones is entirely dependent on the equipment involved.

With this definition then there is no other type of rivalry. This is true for any resource with tragedy of the commons, where an externality is encountered. This goes for land, agriculture, pollution, oil, etc. The limit here is always the efficient production from some resource using technology. This is part of the ceteris paribus of rivalry.

For what you're discussing, for non-interfering waves with the same spectrum, you would need a QAM or some other modulation scheme, with more granular phase detection, which requires exponential more energy, thus capital, per degree resolution of phase detection at the same distance. Thus, the rivalry always exists because enterprises prefer the method leading to the cheapest production with the same product.

> maybe we should be promoting technological development by letting people freely interfere, which can be done by imposing no rules whatever, not even a property regime. Absent power limits, that's pretty much what we do with WiFi.

As I'll continue discussing in your other comment this is exactly what Coase advocated for.

> establishing a private property regime is still rather interventionist

It is in the sense you're discussing with the FCC but not in the Coase's sense where private property is in the strict abstract sense by enforcement of contracts between consenting individuals. Coase's point is that it shouldn't be specially regulated differently than the enforcement of any other private contract. Unless for specific cases which can only be known through experience
