They’re a bit like the UML diagrams of design. They have some utility in certain contexts but they are taught as a ready made solution without that context to students who aren’t able to relate it to real experience and end up overdoing it and misapplying it as they tend to do.

It doesn’t hurt that doing it makes you feel like you’re doing something useful, it gives you a shiny deliverable, ... but in the end there likely are better ways to answer the kind of questions you really want to answer, and many of them involve making the actual thing vs making things that only serve the planning of the making of the thing.
I would like to demo a simpler alternative to Vue and React: manipulate DOM directly. I do it in this application:

I remember being in one of those “accelerated” programs. If I recall it was for math. I was not in that class for long. It wasn’t that I did poorly in the class, it was the fact that I told the teacher to go fuck herself.

Suffice it to say I’ve never been particularly fond of authority figures. As a child you understand inherently that all people are equal. Why should anyone be above anyone else? At least that was how my childish mind perceived it. Hierarchy is something that learned socially.

Honestly the problem with all software is people trying to “innovate” too much. They made this thing called a book once upon a time and those have worked for centuries. Same thing with UIs: the stacking window managers work well from Windows 95 and XP why change it?
The tools described in the post are really good, as are a bunch of other MS debugging tools, but it is a world unto itself and unfortunately the best place to learn is in Redmond.

In the Unix world I feel similarly about things like dtrace. Amazing tool with a learning curve.

Other than PDF, can any such services support other file formats, and can they provide information such as METAFONT modes, colour management, resolution, printable area, separations, etc? I may want to rasterize or otherwise process the data on my own computer before being printed.
Interestingly, the thread you linked to also has links to other discussions where the React.js team provide their reasoning for why they decided against using generators[0] that the author of Crank.js didn't mention in their post. There's also a more basic breakdown of that explanation deeper in the twitter thread here[1]. As I understand it (and I am no expert), Crank.js's usage of generators is not the most performant because it doesn't provide an avenue to avoid recalcing work. In this case, memoization/caching does nothing to save you.

There are also other interesting tradeoffs, like suddenly making everything a generator as a result (as seen here). It's not that big of a deal to me, personally, but it's not something that everyone in the JS world is necessarily used to either.

Overall, it seems to be about target audience and priorities. Facebook seems to really care about intense performance at scale and they want all of their developers to be able to use their framework with ease. It seems they don't mind if that means requiring a bit of their own 'dogmatic' education as the author put it. Regardless, I agree. This is really interesting stuff!

The LTE Bluetooth standard actually does make large inroads towards removing a lot of the less clear parts of the standards, and reducing the size of the specification. It is still far from perfect, but attempts are being made by the industry to clean things up.

WiFi Direct (which is also somewhat horrible, but somewhat less), is also a competitor in this area. It hasn't seen a lot of adoption, but there are a few things that use it.

Apple's AirDrop is also a proprietary protocol that can handle a lot of this peering stuff, atop WiFi, and they seem pretty committed to keeping it around for all their stuff for the foreseeable future.
Got it. So cool, though! Never thought of looking it up so I'm extra pleased to see its successor on HN. Going to have to rewatch it soon!
i've been sourcing kn95's from family friends who are higher ups at the handful of CDC NIOSH NPPTL certified manufacturers. they are reporting that their raw material costs have skyrocketed from what use to cost them 20k per ton to 400k per ton (RMB).

another problem is due to the limited number of actual manufacturers that got the CDC/CE certifications long ago, they have established brands (ie: Maskin) that now, has knockoffs/counterfeits of which is sowing mistrust even for the certified manufacturers.

lastly, especially in America... we keep biting the hand that is feeding us in the sense that we are dependent on China's ability to mass produce KN95 masks but inevitably, when there are counterfeits as people cash in on the craze, "China" as a whole gets a bad rep.

this week, China issued an entire ban on mask exports. if you had problems getting masks already, it's about to get almost impossible to get them as there are plenty of other countries that would gladly receive shipments.

even so, i'm flabbergasted at the price the US government is reportedly reselling masks to states for between $5.50-7.50 per KN95/N95 mask... my current cost to the states is around $3.50/mask (after accounting for lost shipments) and i'm not getting any sort of big volume.

I spent a lot of time perfecting my pizza skills.

The most important single step in the whole process is what they call "autolysing", nowadays, so people will take it seriously. It really just means that after most of the flour is wet, you set it aside for 45 minutes before working it.

Do it, and the sky's the limit, even with extremely ordinary flour. Don't, and nothing will save your pizza short of serving it to philistines.

Once I had to make 40 mini-pizzas with Pillsbury white flour, cheddar cheese, and Wesson oil on the bottom of a skillet perched on an upturned soup pot under a broiler, down in Waipio Valley, in Hawaii. It turned out fantastic. The dough was very, very wet: I scooped it for each pizza with a ladle.

Huh I never really thought about that. I try my best to make certain keybindings do similar things when I get the ability. (The fact that Ctrl+Backspace isn't back-delete-word everywhere is maddening.) But I never assume any two applications will behave the same way.

I get so confused whenever my coworkers try to "feel" their way around some cli tool by trying different commands and options when I just jump straight to the manual.
I looked into the economics of PredictIt a few years back.

* Fees are high. They charge 10% of profits and and additional 5% for withdrawals.

* Markets were illiquid. There aren't enough shares available to put much money to work. There's an $850 limit per bet, but it's hard to reach that amount.

* Bets can take a long time to settle. So even if you are 90% certain of something trading at 50%, you can't put a ton of money into that view, nor can you necessarily get paid quickly.

* Occasionally bets are determined by dumb technicalities. As I recall the bet for Powell being the next Fed chair settled on No, because the date referenced in the bet was a holiday or something, and he was confirmed on the next business day.

If you are smart enough to make significant money on PredictIt aren't you smart enough to make more money doing almost anything else?
I think this discount the enormous satisfaction that comes with creating your own thing.

9 - 5 working for somebody else can feel a lot longer than 6 - 9 working on your own biz. Especially when you're talking in decades.

And striking gold doesn't always have to be the desired outcome. Simply achieving freedom and autonomy is success.

Mystery of two-million-year-old stone balls solved
Wow, that was my first computer I had in our house growing up and used it to write a lot of 8th grade history papers using PFS Write, playing Lode Runner, printing stuff in Printshop. Oh, and I remember programming basic on it, where you'd even write the line numbers on each line of code.... I believe I made some version of an Dungeons & Dragons character generator. Don't forget about the sound that the Dot-matrix printers made then. Gave me my first taste of growing up to work with computers all the time....
There could be no reasonable use case for something like this, and yet it would still have artistic value and this would still be an interesting article.

Ask HN: DAC that works with native volume controls?
Are there any USB DACs out there that work with the native volume controls in MacOS (and windows I guess)

Most of the ones I’ve used have a knob on the front that controls the volume, and you can’t use the keyboard buttons to change it. It’s not the worst thing in the world but kind of annoying.
Rt – Effective Reproduction Number
Not just persona. There's journey mapping, storymapping, design thinking, storybrand exercise, designops, formative/summative/ generative research, ethnographic study, service design, heuristics, lean ux, contextual inquiry. I'm not saying these are all useless, but many are just old things re-packaged. And I've noticed that UX people are rarely challenged by other stakeholders because no one can possibly keep up with what any of these mean. It's part FUD and part obfuscation.

If you you have good handle on who your customer base is (current and target), then no, you don't need personas. Just use real data. Where I become dumbfounded is when large companies with mountains of customer data with complicated segmentation and profiles continue to rely on just 5-6 same personas.
I haven't noticed any of my acquaintances saying that mask-wearing is silly.

But I have noticed many people not observing social distancing and stay-at-home requests. Perhaps if those people ignore the guidance because they're not convinced it's important, those same people would judge mask-wearing to be a waste of effort.

Perhaps another issue is people who have heard that wearing cloth masks mostly prevents you from getting others sick, and some of them just can't be bothered to make small sacrifices for the speculative benefit of strangers?

No, the ISS is not.

Hubble and WMAP dwarf the ISS in terms of scientific papers and citations.

The ISS should be deorbited immediately and the money used for real science.
> Most non-Amazon warehouse workers are treated worse and paid less than Amazon employees.

I've worked in a couple warehouses and have a lot of friends and colleagues who have, too (I never worked for Amazon, but a lot of said friends and colleagues did). The consensus is that Amazon's treatment of its warehouse workers is about as bad as it gets. There are plenty of warehouses that take employee safety seriously, that pay well with decent benefits, that allow their employees to take restroom breaks instead of forcing them to resort to pissing in bottles at their pack stations (seriously, Amazon, what the hell?), that put at least some semblance into temperature control (as difficult as it may be to do in a large building like a warehouse) and that overall treat their employees like human beings instead of machines.

It's good to be skeptical of the treatment of workers as a rule, but there are definitely different circles of Fulfillment Hell, and working for Amazon's pretty damn close to the inner-most of those circles. Amazon does pay better than average, but there are apparently few companies that treat their workers worse (at least in the US).
The Allies picking a fight with a land-locked fortress where every civilian is armed, whereupon vast amounts of wealth are controlled and stored, in the middle of a conflict with 'real' enemies, would not be a good idea.

WW2 is not the 'cold war' where every little visual sighting counts as 'an encounter of note'.

In a world wide warzone, this would be the the tip of the iceberg in terms of aggression, borders, politics, unrecorded deaths, unofficial actions, backroom deals etc..

"I've talked to Europeans in person," I'm not sure that having spoken to a 'real live European(!)' counts for any kind of credibility.

I don't like "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app" with nothing else visible. Even if JavaScript is disabled, I should still want to be able to read the documentation, and if source code is available, to access the source code. Even if nothing else works when JavaScript is disabled, which can make sense sometimes.
The way the generators appear to work reminds me a lot of Concur: https://github.com/ajnsit/concur-documentation

But controlling or understanding the control flow in Crank generator components, ie. when does ‘yield‘ return, looks like a bit of a nightmare!

"First, a bunch of generic smart people on Twitter who got things exactly right... 'Bill Gates, Balaji Srinivasan, Paul Graham, Greg Cochran, Robin Hanson, Sarah Constantin, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and Nicholas Christakis....'"

And

"...they didn’t beat the experts in epidemiology. Whatever probability of pandemic the experts and prediction markets gave for coronavirus getting really bad, these people didn’t necessarily give a higher probability. They were just better at probabilistic reasoning, so they had different reactions to the same number..."

I noticed that. As a math person, things were exceptionally clear at a point, clearer than many uncertain events tbh. Simple exponential growth this, I can understand ... and so could a significant slice of people.

But my question is: if epidemiologists aren't experts at THIS, wtf are they experts in? Isn't this exactly the "classic" circumstance any average epidemiologist should be a able to see in a heartbeat. Apparently not, so what do they train these people in? Question maybe half rhetorical but also serious. What's "expert knowledge" in these circumstances.
There was a recent ATP.fm podcast with Chris Lattner of Swift fame. He talked about the topic of embedding Python code in Swift for TensorFlow and it overlaps with your suggestion.
>As a child you understand inherently that all people are equal. Why should anyone be above anyone else? At least that was how my childish mind perceived it. Hierarchy is something that learned socially.

I remember when I was very young other children saying exactly the opposite and as an adult I've met young children that are very attuned to one's social standing.

Also there are strong biological reasons as to why it is highly innate but modulated by culture.
I remember creating a math library in Apple BASIC, and a stamps collector application for my father, with its own database system way before I learned what a database was. Learned Pascal, and tried learning assembly but that was too advanced for me. I was in highschool, so many memories in the Apple //c!

Some more interesting things that I remember:

Some gifted kids are especially bad about having strong views about things like justice and morality and equality.

It's part of why I'm on parenting blog number three, which isn't exactly catching fire. My stories about raising my sons and my views on such were seemingly popular, at least with a vocal minority, on an email list that was basically a support group for parents of gifted kids (which is why I originally began blogging at all).

My oldest was accepted to college at age thirteen. The classes he had tried to sign up for all fell through for different reasons and then he told me he didn't really want to take college classes. He wanted me to keep homeschooling him.

I wasn't thrilled. At age 14, he explained Einstein's Theory of Relativity to me, which was helpful to me in understanding some of my college classes. I absolutely wasn't qualified to keep teaching him in some subjects. He already knew more science than I did.

But he also has a serious medical condition and a variety of other problems. So I heaved a big sigh and said "Okay. I can't teach you, but I can keep supplying you learning materials for those subjects and I can still teach you in other subjects, like math."

So, yeah, there's lots of problems you run into with gifted kids, one of them being that some of them have little tolerance for "idiot adults" who may not know anymore than they do, so they tend to not be very accepting of the idea that adults have some right of authority simply because they are older. "Older and wiser/know more" don't necessarily follow.

Edit: Someone asked, then deleted their comment. It's called Raising Future Adults.

As other people have pointed out, despite being a “systems language” Rust has attracted people from a whole bunch of areas and programming languages and limiting itself to just systems programming would limit its uptake and community for very little benefit.

Not that this means that every demand needs to be acquiesced to, there’s balance to be found.

I was confused about what you were talking about until I saw your screenshot. Fascinating. Coming from Android it is completely normal that hamburger on the left is drawer and three dots on the right is menu. Pretty much every app does it so you can't help but learn it but if you're coming from the desktop and it suddenly appears it makes a lot less sense.

I was looking into Keycloak last year but eventually gave up because I can't find a friendly/robust enough solution to use source code to manage Keycloak config.

I am curious how do you guys manage staging/production Keycloak instances? Do you just manually trying to keep it the same?

Another question is:
Does any company actually use the authorization part of Keycloak? How's the experience?
