It's different because it is much further removed from a centrally controlled dumpster fire. The JS, Node and NPM ecosystem is a pain on so many levels. Blindly trusting developers to follow semver by default. Leftpad. Build toolchains. The whole micro-depedency madness. Having a peek into your node_modules is like looking into the depths of hell.

Not saying Deno won't devolve into this sad state at some point. Maybe it already has. But it seems to try to combat some of the problems by being honest and pragmatic about dependencies, promoting minimal external tooling and removing some of the dangerous abstractions from NPM.

To me Deno seems like a desperately needed and well thought out reset button.

>>I dont do much in the javascript and related world - can someone explain what in particular about this project has generated such interest?

The majority of the interest lies in the fact that Ryan Dahl[1] was the original creator of Node.JS[2], which is currently a very popular Javascript runtime and web backend.

Dahl released the initial version of Node.JS in 2009[3]. After a decade of experience working on Node.JS and growing the community, Dahl decided to create an alternative Javascript (and Typescript) runtime in mid/late 2018 called Deno which is now v1.0.

Less safe in a downturn. When a company wants to tighten its belt but is still mostly solid, and don't have particular products that are clear losers, middle managers are an attractive target: they need the engineers to do the work and support the customers, and the sales people to bring in the money, but if they can get by with fewer managers, maybe they can do all that for less.

The answer is obvious: Facebook loves misinformation.

Facebook's business model is fairly straightforward: they want you to spend as much time on Facebook as possible so you can consume as many ads as possible. Contentious, provocative content drives engagement. It's easier to provide an unending source of engaging content if you don't restrict that content to the set of things that are true. Truth has the unfortunate tendency to be boring in most cases.

If Facebook nuked all the lies, Facebook would be less interesting and ad revenue would go down.

I built a collaborative whiteboard tool for interviews.
https://interviewboard.io

Generate a unique whiteboard and share with a friend to see it in action.

We were struggling to conduct software architecture interviews since going remote at my job because we no longer had a whiteboard, so I built InterviewBoard to fix this. I've been surprised by the ways people have used it. I originally anticipated people would only use it for software architecture, but data scientists have also told me they find it very useful. I'm still currently allowing as many free whiteboards as you want. Hope you find it useful! If you have any feedback I'd appreciate it at aking@interviewboard.io

It's only "insulin" and "cells" for someone interpreting the program. The issue here is that if you had a simulated brain, what makes that simulation a brain for the computer such that it would be conscious?

Here's Jaron Lanier on the issue of consciousness and computation: http://www.jaronlanier.com/zombie.html

He's meteor shower intuition pump is similar to the argument that nations should be conscious if functionalism is true. The reason being that any complex physical system could potentially instantiate the functionality that produces a conscious state. It's also similar to Greg Egan's "Dust theory of Consciousness" in Permutation City.

If one is willing to bite the functional bullet on that, then you can have your simulated consciousness, and the universe may be populated with all sorts of weird conscious experiences outside of animals.

The link I shared wasn't UE5, and their other videos specifically indicate that they are running on PC - unbelievably modest PC hardware at that.

> it's not a trivial thing to get a demo like this running well on PCs

This old tired argument.

The current theory for how the meshing is done is something similar to mesh shaders (available on commodity PC hardware since 2018)[1]. This "PS5 platform specific feature" running on PC in 2018[2].

As for the lighting, NVDIA have already had this "platform specific feature" on PCs for some time now. It's called RTX. In 2018[3] (using DLSS), in 2020[4] (no apparent DLSS usage, but it may have improved).

Both next-gen consoles are essentially PCs. Their primary advantage is tightly coupled hardware (e.g. memory latency, the absurdly fast PS5 SSD). While dedicated raytracing silicon on AMD is currently unique to PS5 (AMD claims they can emulate DXRT on Navi), it has been around for more than a year in consumer hands in the form RTX.

A point from Enlightenment Now that I wish was better understood.

Groups that use terrorism to get their way almost always fail. This should not surprise us. Terrorism is the last available option for a weak interest group that has no better way to make their will felt. Therefore as scary as it is to face, the fact that they are resorting to it is evidence that they are underdogs and we should not be surprised that they later fail.

Given that fact, the extreme efforts that we take to drive the nail even farther into terrorism is overkill.
In the 90s I remember hearing this too.

What, that due to the fact that we're all working from home because of a global pandemic, and my employer says I can WFH long-term, I'm thinking about moving out of SV?

A toy, is that so? I know quite a number of people (engineers, marketers, companies) that exist solely due to Facebook advertising. You should let them know their livelihood rests on a toy.

There are physical shops for LEGO, too. Even third-party ones! Ooh, and King & Supercell are billion-dollar companies! I love toys, I think they're great. I don't think you should be getting news from them.

Why do you frame it as some ludicrous idea? Is this more preposterous than getting your science and world news from an email chain, or from Fox/CNN, or your wonky neighbor next door?

It's just as ludicrous as the idea of people getting their news from Candy Crush, MySpace or a tabloid. Getting news from an e-mail chain is ridiculous if you don't know anybody on it, or who runs it.

I happen to have some intelligent friends who share thoughtful, measured news articles on Facebook. Perhaps these complaints of junk science and tabloids being passed around is actually a problem of an individual's circle and who they actively follow.

Then surely you'd get the same information say, in person. Or using e-mail. As such, Facebook censoring them would just mean you'd move somewhere else. No possibility of a Ministry of Truth there. There are people in Second Life that act as newscasters, too. Still a toy.

This post seems more about personal dislike of Facebook rather than the parent commenter's point about the dangers of appointing Facebook as a Ministry of Truth.

I actually love Facebook. It's a neat toy. I love the research that comes out of it. If you search my HN profile you can see a lot of sentiment to this end.

Why are people accepting the claim without verification ?

I took cyxie, mentioned on the list and checked a few subs - they are not the top mod of any. It’s almost certainly true for all the other cases.

How is the claim “they control the news feeds” in any way substantiated ?

Looks more like power users playing subreddit Pokémon, and then doing nothing with the subs they are a part of.

My understanding (IANAL) is that "Tesla" is trademarked by the company. [1] Note that doesn't mean no one else can ever use that name for anything. It does mean I'd probably get a cease and desist letter if I tried to go into the car business under the name Tesla. But I can probably get a trademark in other areas where there isn't a serious possibility of confusion. How close I'm willing to get to that line probably depends on how badly I want the name and how conservative the lawyers are.

I feel you. I felt so guilty I had to clear this up with my boss. Thankfully it turned out they are pretty understanding and this won't go in any performance review of anyone in this situation (both parents work standard office hours, kid at home, etc). IF the business survives the pandemic and lockdown, that is.

The first attempt at Windows tried to do some memory-resident file watching thing that I eventually rejected as too complex. We circled a few more times on different approaches and the final Windows approach is pretty complex.

People still want to live in those locations, evidenced by the fact that there are still people living there and getting along ok. Maybe you're a doctor and want to work at one of the two best hospitals on the planet, then you'd move to Cleveland, for example. Maybe you want to go to the #1 CS program on the planet, so you go to CMU.

And who knows. Maybe now with more companies going remote or encouraging more remote work, fewer people will feel compelled to move to the Bay Area or whatever.

Anyway. My point isn't to get into "x is better than y" because, frankly, it's not that interesting. But combating stereotypes about locations and geographies or peoples is of interest. Calling the Rust Belt area a cesspool, is pretty pathetic, especially when despite all the nice weather California has its own "cesspool" problems to deal with. If you just spend a lot of time reading coast newspapers it's easy to magnify problems in other areas. In fact, why is it that leading population centers like New York, D.C., and S.F. were able to spend so much energy destroying and outsourcing manufacturing at the expense of their fellow Americans? Why did regulators and politicians in D.C., along with our medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies allow so many opioids to be prescribed?

If you're going to destroy the coal industry because of regulation (which I support) why aren't you also advocating for finding meaningful employment for those who are regulated out of a job? Maybe they should move to SF and learn to code? Well, now they might get their chance, and Twitter et al. may be paying them $60,000 year to do tech jobs that were $200,000/year in NYC or SF or Seattle.

The U.S. really needs to get its shit together and start caring about one another. I've never in my life thought that one part of the country was a cesspool or worthy of ridicule, even if I disagreed with politics there.

I think you're begging the question and using reducto-ad-absurdum here.

dilippkumar was highlighting that if people are prepared to believe extremely fringe ideas then simply telling them that a central authority thinks a fact is wrong will not effectively dissuade them. Your question elides that concern by simply re-pointing out that fake information is problematic. Fake information is problematic, but there is reason to believe that simply labeling the article about drinking lysol "false" is a sub-optimal strategy.

So the answer to your question is no, we shouldn't avoid labeling that post false "because the poster could be like Galileo or Einstein," but I also do not think that was what dilippkumar was saying. I think he was trying to point out the problematic nature of "fact checkers" for people who don't trust traditional sources of authority.

Show HN: Learn How to Build, Launch and Run a Shopify App
I used to own a very-minor worldwide e-commerce site where I sold software and had a bunch of people say that I should hide all the software that wouldn't work on your device (most often due to operating system version requirements) from searches. I did that, and then had even more people contacting me saying that they knew I sold X but they couldn't find it; my conclusion is that the people who think you should not show out of stock items are annoyed because they think their experience could have been faster, but they are merely filing feature requests as they know exactly what happened and simply disagree: the people who were confused because the item did not show up at all--even though their friend told them it would be, they saw it in an ad, or they installed it on another device--are filing bugs, and this actually incurs costs handling the customer service complaints that result as you have to explain to them what happened and then defend why you thought it was a good idea. I thereby changed back to showing everything, now content with ignoring the feedback that I continued to get for the next decade that some people would prefer the other behavior.

I'll also note: when I go to a store and something is out of stock, I find an empty shelf where the item would go that usually has a little tag dedicating that space for that item and telling what its price would have been were it in stock. If I don't find that empty shelf, I end up wandering the store thinking it must just be in a different section and eventually ask someone who works there where to find it, because I am confused, and I am now costing the store money for a sale they aren't even going to get (as the item is out of stock). I thereby don't even agree that the physical metaphor of going to a brick and mortar store makes any sense as an argument for hiding out of stock search results, as brick and mortar stores actually do return placeholder hits for items that are out of stock, both when you ask an employee "where might I find X" (who probably doesn't know if they are out of stock) and when you go to the right section and scan for "what items exist that are similar to X".
I'm certainly daydreaming about this, as someone living in SF right now. But IMO things are still too uncertain to pull the trigger on making a huge move. And I wonder if the likeliest scenario, is that everyone strongly considers doing this, but then we all slowly get used to the "new normal" and by the time it's clear one way or the other what the future is starting to look like, we're past the peak of the virus (maybe it's early 2021 and there's a vaccine starting to roll out) and everyone just kind of settles back into mostly the same life they previously had due to inertia.

And anecdotally I've heard very few people say they now want to stay fully remote forever. What I've heard instead is people talking about how they hope that 2-3 days a week in the office might become the new normal. That might open up your options a bit, maybe that makes you willing to commute 1 - 1.5hrs instead of 30 min - 1 hr. But that wouldn't allow anyone to leave the metro area. In fact, maybe this scenario actually increases cost of living because now you need to both be close enough to downtown to commute a few days a week, and have enough space for a dedicated home office so you can work from home productively the other few days a week.

Yes, "they drove the truck ..." may be a fact, but why they did it, what they wanted to achieve with it, what effect it actually had, are opinion-based, and are far more interesting than the underlying objective fact.

Otherwise, you could report the JFK assassination by focusing on the weather that day and the tire pressure of his car, and the angle in which sunlight reflected on the windshield.
They've shown a reluctance to do that with adblockers that work by blacklisting IPs, an easier fix.
I'm pretty bearish on the pandemic actually leading to massive change in the number of people permanently working from home. My boss put out a survey a week or two ago among my org (30 or so people), and 70% said that they want to work from the office, full time, 20% said some time or most of the time, and 10% said fully remote. And this is a group of people that would be largely well suited to working from home during the pandemic (young, no kids, etc). I just don't think that this will change much.

There is just too much detrimental effect one one's career from not being seen at the office. For a company that's not fully remote (i.e. gitlab), people who are fully remote are going to fall behind in promotions, etc. There's just not enough benefit for people who don't hate the bay area.

The Court did not rewrite or invalidate 252.02. The Court held that the order in this case was a "rule" which means that "the rulemaking procedures of 227.24 were required to be followed". There's nothing about that statement that precludes an order like Emergency Order 28 from coming into force provided that its promulgation follows those rulemaking procedures. There is no rewrite. 252.02 does not exist in a vacuum -- the Court simply recognizes that other parts of Wisconsin statutory code also apply.

We can debate whether the Court was right, but not whether its position is a reasonable one. Clearly, deciding that statutory rulemaking procedures apply is a reasonable position. Clearly, also, deciding that they don't apply might well also be reasonable.

| We conclude that Emergency Order 28 is a rule under the controlling precedent of this court, Citizens for Sensible Zoning, Inc. v. DNR, 90 Wis.2d 804, 280 N.W.2d 702 (1979), and therefore is subject to statutory emergency rulemaking procedures established by the Legislature. Emergency Order 28 is a general order of general application within the meaning of Wis. Stat. §227.01(13), which defines "Rule." Accordingly, the rulemaking procedures of Wis. Stat. §227.24 were required to be followed during the promulgation of Order 28.

> My best friend at a FAANG always tells me he dreads having to look for a job ever again - whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as he is in no way shape or form ready for coding interviews.

I resonate to this, coding interviews significantly annoy me. I'm a significantly better developer than I was 5 years ago, but I would have passed so many interviews 5 years ago that now I wouldn't remember where to begin, and that's because I studied relentlessly for interviews. My second to last semester of college I focused so much more on studying for interviews than my own classes, that I had the spreadsheets to make sure I would just get my C's just to ensure I could nail interviews. I did well in almost all of my interviews, and my grades completely stopped mattering.

Right now, if I practiced leetcode daily, I'd think it would interfere with my work. I don't want to do it on my free time as I actually enjoy a work/life balance.

I love my job, I'll study when I have to, but until that day comes I'm going to focus on becoming the best engineer I can be and continue bringing value where I'm at.

Tech interviews need to change - they just reward people who studied for the points, not a true representation of who would be a great engineer for their company/team. Similar to how high school overwhelmingly rewards "passing the test" more than active learning.
