Wow interesting, thanks for sharing. So should we be trying to recycle plastics again? The news on this changed a lot in the past years. Also there was that whole thing about a bottle cap/ring vs. the bottle itself... do you know what the status is on that?
It sounds like you are afraid of opportunity costs and the failure of any investment of time going bust.

You are future thinking and probably worried it won't work out, as you've lost some clients.

I would recommend picking the least risky option you can do, and stick with it. It may help if you, as an exercise, work out what the least risky thing is.
This isn't likely news, for most here.

But it can't be reported enough, for the general public.
Wikimedia had to remove all pictures of Swedish 'public art' (statues etc) after a ruling. I think laws and rulings like that could be a lot of trouble.
Not disagreeing. But the proximal reason for this is political. Inequality is not intrinsic to capital markets. Capital markets are merely not a solution for inequality, and require some modicum of intelligent regulation to function properly.

Instead the Us is rife with regulatory capture, unenforced antitrust laws, etc.

If the democracy were representative, and the public informed, things would be better.

been on both sides of the fence. As an employer, the problem is that everyone says this, even people who have no idea what they're doing. In fact these people are over - represented in the hiring pool because skilled devs are usually already overbooked and not looking for work.

"pay more for better talent" implies that everyone is paid what they're worth, which is not true. If hiring better candidates was as simple as paying more, the recruiting industry wouldn't exist.

I'm glad your experience with Ubuntu Studio was positive! I don't know why you accused me of being disingenuous; I assure you I was not. Recording audio in was seamless, as you mentioned. Plugins were frequently unstable, however, and crashed my computer. It was hard to figure out what worked, and it was hard to find a decent convolution reverb that sounded as good as Space Designer. The only software I found that had easy timing adjustments was Tracktion, and that also crashed frequently. It was hard to use MIDI tracks side by side with audio, both because the interface of Ardour was confusing and because (shock) it crashed frequently when I tried to. And it took way too many steps to load an SFZ library. I certainly have problems with macOS too, but I really am desperate to leave Apple entirely, and I wish Linux worked for music for me.
You are too rational ;)

Joking aside, was thinking exactly the same while reading the article. This has been talk about for years, and today there is lots docs and resources for devs to be able to make a thoughtful decision of going SPA vs no-SPA.

Based on the article, it looks like only TSMC and Samsung can make 10nm chips as a service for other companies, and despite also being able to make 10nm chips Intel hasn't opened their fabs to contract work. Anyone know why this is? In the article it looks like Intel's spokesperson said they were willing to start offering their 10nm process as a service with fabs in the US, but I'm wondering why Intel didn't offer a foundry service earlier.

If you leave many of the big wealthy states, middle class jobs pay wages to support middle class living. All my neighbors and family in Cleveland buy houses/housing and live comfortable, easy lives. Same in Texas.

In the states where the "elites" are, housing and participation in the economy is dramatically limited.

My advice is to lower the value of ideas. A lot of time people think, "If only I had a good idea I would be successful". You will see other people saying things like, "Buy my good idea!". But really, good ideas are a dime a dozen. Good ideas, bad ideas... it actually doesn't make much difference. What makes the difference is execution and timing.

For things that take a long time, timing is essentially random. The world is chaotic. Had I known everyone and their dog would be locked down in their houses for months on end, I would have built something to cater to them. But of course, there is no way to know. I find it amusing that just before the pandemic there was a thread on HN talking about overvalued unicorns and Zoom was up near the top of the list. What would need to happen to make Zoom a household name, people asked?

To be successful, really what you need is execution and to have the patience to wait until what you are doing is relevant. Of course there is the fear that it will never be relevant. However, if you accept the thesis that the good idea is not valuable in itself, then you realise that it is not really valuable to pivot without a really good reason. A good idea that is never relevant is just as worthless as a bad idea that is never relevant. However, even a bad idea that is executed very well and ready when the opportunity arises can be successful.
I'm skeptical of that. Have you timed it in Chrome DevTools? E.g. when I hit 'c' on the keyboard to compose an email, it's effectively instantaneous.
I’m probably the worst person to give advice on this. I have a board full of half baked ideas and never enough time to do them. But one thing that comes to mind in general about “analysis paralysis” is to give yourself permission to fail. It’s ok if in retrospect you would have made a better choice. Or if you pivot 100 times before landing on a winner. All anybody can do is make the best choice at the time with the what they are given. You should try to make informed intentional decisions, but nobody gets it right 100% of the time.

What I Love–and Hate–Most About Being an Entrepreneur
Being a user of free applications and services does not automatically give corporations the right to exploit people by collecting and selling their personal information without consent.

Ironically, the data of paying customers is even more valuable. Spending money on these things is probably a great way to make them pay even more attention to you. For example, mobile game companies seem to know everything about their big spenders and I've read that some are in direct contact with those players.
I agree, or pretty close. But it's not axiomatic that bubbles always pop (at least on the time span one expects).

Can I legally purchase the anonymized location data of a few thousand Americans, run that through a script which associates coordinates with addresses, and publish the deanonymized results as an art piece like this?

If so, this could be a lot of fun. It would be interesting to see the political backlash, especially if the published dataset includes politicians. Perhaps, in the name of ethics, it should include only politicians, and only those who have voted against privacy legislation. Maybe we'd finally end up with something like the GDPR here in the States.

Right, the fact that the market is chasing such high risk investments when there's lots of obvious low-risk work that needs to be done means that the low-risk work has gotten "frozen out" of the economy. Poor people problems aren't problems, as far as the economy is concerned.

Still, WeWork and Theranos are only examples of the "bubble" side of the effect, not so much the "freezing out" side, and they don't really illustrate the contrast between unworthy, overfunded endeavors and worthy, underfunded endeavors. I originally had a more visceral, abstract example that did a much better job, but it was attracting so many drive-by downvotes that I decided to retire it while I searched for better wording/examples. Here is the original:

Economists invite you to ignore this effect by conflating "value" (the economic notion, which is weighted by wealth) with value (the philosophical notion, which isn't, at least not to the same degree). For example, consider the prospect of feeding starving African children. This action has 0 "value" -- the market will not pay you to do this because the kids have no money with which to pay you -- even though the prospect has loads of value in the philosophical sense. Now consider the prospect of merging up the banks so that they can charge higher fees and offload risk to the federal government. This action has loads of "value" -- it gives investors a return, at scale, and investors have lots of money, so their opinion counts heavily -- even though this prospect has zero or negative value in the philosophical sense. Because it is weighted according to wealth, the economic notion of value diverges from the philosophical notion of value in proportion to inequality, and with exploding inequality, that's a big problem.
Hey all

I remember when jQuery was the React of its day. Then browsers copied most of its stuff. And now we have moved in to Angular and React.

Frankly, web components can do most of the stuff React does - and even the JSX can be done with eval and concatenating some backticks to strings. As long as you are SURE the strings are coming from templates, they can be assigned at runtime similar to how React assigns at compile time. Not that you should do any of that crap!

Still, React and Angular are insane. React makes you use Babel for JSX and a bunch of esoteric rules that they then make workarounds for, such as “hooks”. And Angular is even more complex, with its digest cycles and mocks and bindings etc. It totally sucks you in.

If you want to use a framework that’s much more lightweight, use Vue. Or use the one that we built ;-) It treats CSS, HTML and JS — and the rest of the Web - exactly as it was meant to be, and doesn’t try to reinvent the well. Well, it does use Handlebars for templating, but can support any other one also.

The React fad is like jQuery.

A pilot friend of mine assures me that whilst MS Flight Sim is going to be incredible, everyone should be keeping an eye on X-Plane:

https://www.x-plane.com

If you're looking for a more accurate, 'real' simulator it has a lot to offer. MS Flight Sim will be more than real enough for the vast majority of us but if you're interested in contributing to a product you can improve and have fun modelling/texturing additional planes, cities etc this is a project to get involved with.
Yes, but that does not stop the cell providers from selling your location [1].

The death of Restoration Hardware and it’s tree-decimating, hernia-inducing catalogs cannot come soon enough as far as I am concerned.
> they're easier to work with and they save us time.

I have never seen evidence of this.

Its a lie developers frequently mention because it sounds so thrilling to say. Approximately how much time does it save you in estimated hours? Its like asking for a helicopter to take me to work, because supposedly its faster. I'm simply assuming its faster without looking at any numbers or finances.
Ask HN: Is Node.js still good for writing APIs?

> Companies don't even get the money from secondary stock purchases, so the invested money is doing absolutely nothing.

But they can issue new stock at the inflated values to fund expansion, which itself allows the company to grow profits and potentially grow future dividends. E.g. Tesla stock price quadrupled over the last year and then Tesla issued $2 billion worth of new shares in February.
Obviously Svelte can't do nothing about the misuse of Svelte (which is one the major points of the article) but:

> The level of abstraction that React works on is too high, and the cost of using React - in payload, parse time, and so on - is too high for any company to include it as part of an SDK.

Svelte is just a simple way for you to write vanilla instructions. There is no runtime and practically no framework.

Other than React he is criticising problems which have better solutions than the ones he is proposing.

For example the bundle splitting problem can be solved by a smart browser refresh at the appropriate time.

The SSR problems he mentions are non existent with Svelte as the JS needed for an SSRd page is probably less than 5kB and since those are so small you can preload all JS files on the first user visit. He also mentions authentication problems which are non existent if your SSR app talks to the database and uses some KV cache for sessions. It's also certainly possible to cache the HTML, not only in the server but in the browser too using service workers.

As for his critique of APIs I don't agree. He also states that "GraphQL application will suffer under the N+1 query problem" which is true on the most simplistic implementations. Hasura, Fauna DB, and other GraphQL servers don't suffer from this problem at all.
There's complicated stuff for figuring out if it's useful:

- Energy in vs energy out

- The price fluctuation of the underlying feedstocks

- Scalability - (chemistry is 1000x harder to scale things than comp sci.)
> So there’s discouragement to savings built into our tax law (or stronger-than-appropriate encouragement available only to the already-doing-quite-well, if you prefer)

Only the latter "version" of this is possibly true. Nothing you said shows a discouragement to savings. At best you showed that the wealthier are more encouraged to save.
This is going to seem overly prescriptive, but please bear with me:

- open your most basic text editor
- make a file called 'todo.txt'
- add a dot point: '- plan out ideas'
- now make a file for each of your ideas
- write a '- plan' dot point, along with sub-points that outline your milestones
- write a '- first steps' dot point, along with sub-points

By this point, it will emerge that some of your ideas are more feasible or more interesting... for now. Grow each of your ideas at once, or focus on one, but reduce cognitive load by turning those ideas swimming around in your head into concrete plans of action.

- keep a log of your next steps in the 'todo.txt'

.. and don't hate yourself if you don't do them straight away, or at all. That's completely pointless.
It was possible. We didn't do it. Now we can mount a massive effort to stamp it out but were aren't. This isn't inrvitable.

Reeks of obscurity engineering. Simple crud is being rewritten into react, things that could be done 300-400 lines are being written into 2 month long projects.

The vast majority of tooling, pages, functionality is so simple that I want to puke every time someone drops in node,react,Vue to replicate something that could be done in 100 lines of python or perl.
> without consent.

that's the point, they "gave consent" via the terms and conditions checkbox, and this is upheld in court since the user knew they were getting the service for free. Few countries have kept up with their laws to protect consumers from this.
I haven't been flying for about 1.5 years, but last I saw, there were just guidelines from the FAA.

Ok, but take the airline sector for example. Maybe one or more of the airlines will go bankrupt. Maybe they all somehow survive.

The price of Delta, United, American etc. gets discounted because the risk of each individual stock being bankrupted is high. But they don’t go to 0, because there’s also a chance each of the airlines might somehow survive to next year and go back to profitability.

If all the airlines go bankrupt, someone will step in and create new companies in the sector by buying up the bankrupt companies’ physical assets, but the existing shareholders will lose everything despite the sector itself being viable in the long term.

Hasn't this hybrid model used by many for a long time already? SSR react as most as you can(try to avoid client-side routing), then hydrate/enhance parts of the page and make it dynamic.
I still find a huge difference between ereader and physical book myself. I have a Kindle Fire, which I keep constantly in airplane mode and use no apps except Scribd on, but I find myself reading much faster on it, and also remembering much less of what I actually do read. And I can barely read pdfs on my mac, even with airplane mode and other distraction-reducing things turned on. I just don't like the format. I've come to realize I truly do best recall from physical books, and if I want to learn something new, I'll likely buy physical, though I might use pdfs for a while to test quality.
This is what I meant by gatekeeping; there is common misconception that you have to go looking for a library to solve a problem. And it makes it seem like there's a higher barrier to entry than there is.

But the reality is that React is plain HTML and Javascript, in a less error-prone and maintainable package.

Everything you can do with vanilla JS you can do in React, but with React you benefit from being forced to separate the state of the DOM from manipulating it.

I don't buy the hipster-centric logic, for me it comes down to productivity. The bugs of yesteryear, tracking down which procedural code path led to modifying a variable, are mostly gone with React. And if you don't use it (or something like it), you end up implementing a subset of it anyway because it's a foundational part of coordinating UI with business logic. /shrug

“I hand over my data in exchange for the app handing over a valuable experience or service” is the hugest lie in the business. This is exactly what the disingenuous marketing doublespeak of Yelp and Foursquare says.

In reality, most users really do not understand or consent to the level of data tracking and are very confused about terms of use or privacy settings in the app or just on their device.

The big problem is that it is just not possible for the vast majority of people to have enough expertise or technical know-how to give anything resembling informed consent. Whatever the user is agreeing to, it emphatically is not anything like consent.
