There isn't much of a mechanism in any of those, the components were essentially libraries. Sure, in Delphi and VB you get a tiny icon to represent the component and a visual property editor, but that doesn't really translate web stuff that is 100% text-based. AFAIK MFC has nothing visual.

> If I hired someone and found out they lied about their age, I couldn't trust them again.

Why is their age relevant? You might as well ask about their favourite sexual position. Would you expect them to answer that question honestly?

If not, why is does one dishonest answer warrant suspicion but the other does not? Probably because the age question feels "innocuous", but clearly it's not as it not only appears to measurably affects physiology, it definitely affects career prospects in some fields.
Imperfect and stable+standardized is preferable to unstable+unstandardized, in my opinion.
One cup of milk is about 242g, that means milk has energy density 0.62 calories per gram, much less that sugar (4 calories per gram) or fat (9 calories per gram).

Also, it looks like 80 calories will not change fasting state of your body (see above about 20g of BCAA). You may put 80 calories / 0.62 calories per gram = 129 grams of milk or half of cup, into your coffee or tea and not interrupt your fast.

Show HN: An open source minimal Svelte pushup tracker I made
Ok, so I know there are a thousands of workout trackers out there, but I highly believe in openness of PWAs so when I wanted to learn Svelte I just decided to create a super minimal tracker for my pushup workout. Most of those trackers are an overkill for me and I had no pleasure using them. To be honest - I was keeping my old iPhone 6 just to be able to use one of the older tracking apps that was not updated for a long time as it was one of those simpler ones.

There are some drawbacks for choosing PWA, especially on iOS (Apple love) but maybe we'll get there eventually.

As for Svelte - I tried it and decided to leave React/Angular/Vue behind. A seriously good call to use preprocessing instead of virtual DOM. Love it.

Since the app was made for learning purposes I also opened the sources at https://github.com/z-x/pushu.ps

In my experience FF is not behind chrome with new features. It's usually on par, or even better. Sure safari is annoying. But the developer tools in firefox are alright. I even find them better when it comes to debugging css stuff.
How a proprietary extension can get preferential features illustrates that chromium is open source in name only.
You are welcome to disagree with me about what constitutes consent. But what I don't accept is randos on the internet defining consent on "were charges filed". You likely know as well as I do that the vast majority of sexual assaults go unreported, and that most which are reported either go uninvestigated or are retraumatizing for the victim.

I stand by my position that having sex with someone in a way they explicitly did not give consent to, even if they consented to other terms, is rape.
> With your numbers, that puts the total running cost at 71k, or a saving of $245k over 3 years

To compare apples to apples, that hypothetical pricetag buys you the system's max capacity for the entire period. In AWS, the invoice from using any of their serverless offerings grows wildly even when utilization stays way below the resources of that hardware bundle.

For instance, let's keep in mind that AWS charges:

* API Gateway per million of requests,

* Lambdas per timememory used by a single call, including the time it wasted with hot and cold starts,

SQS per queued message,

* WAF per request through the firewall,

* Etc.
So to recap, these people know that if the US national guard (not the army) marched on them they’d lose, so then what is the purpose of the guns? Shoot civilians? Shoot protestors? Who is getting shot by these weapons? If nobody then why are they there? What law(s) give them the right to enforce the law on their own?

Colo providers have massive outages too so it's the exact same thing in that regard.

If we're talking regular maintenance, like a raid controller or a power supply going bonker. AWS is always accessible, it allows you to realize something is broken and create a new volume or instance in 5 minutes. Whereas with dedicated hardware you might be toast with no remote access and/or no spare parts.
Format toolbar is coming
Unbelievable. I was this close buying a new printer. I mean it's really a weird error which does not look like a hardware issue, but after testing the printer on three different PCs (all running latest Windows 10, of course) with the same result, I was convinced it's a problem with the printer.
The closure obsession in Swift is really off putting. The amount of indirection in the language is frustrating and seems to be there due to an FP zealot somewhere in the language design team at Apple.
I don’t believe this is a problem. It will only need to render it when things change—so maybe the GPU will be sitting at 100% while you’re flipping through pages, but other than that typically very brief time, it should be at 0%.

Prof Galloway, gave very interesting thoughts:

https://www.profgalloway.com/wewtf
Objective-C was a very interesting language, in some ways much better than C++ while filling the same type of role. It's a shame that so much effort is being thrown away by Apple. I recommend anybody who has an Objective-C program that they don't wish to rewrite in Swift to look into GNUstep. I personally have two Objective-C projects which I will not be porting to Swift, instead I will port them from Cocoa to GNUstep.
- Standard lib falling short
- No control over the execution env (user's browser), which mean we need polyfills, transpilers, abstractions
- Web is everywhere => JS needed for many many things => lots of library for all sorts of stuff => common problems extracted in small libs (which is has good and bad aspects)
- Last point exacerbated by JS being a frontend and a backend language
- Developpers tend to be more junior in average (not sure that's actually true, it's believable but never seen numbers)
- NPM made it painless to add dependencies, so that's what happens
That's a big topic. I've been able to work around the missing primitives (for example, I autogenerate code for Rust-style structs and enums), but have had much bigger struggles around two issues: tools, which are still quite primitive, and understanding performance, which is extremely difficult. These two problems intersect because I can imagine a lot better tools for digging into performance issues. One that I would have paid good money for is an instruction-level simulator that would highlight the source code to tell me where the stalls, bank conflicts, divergence problems, etc. are in the source code. Such a thing is possible (there are academic papers like [1]), but not as far as I know usable in daily development.

The "impedance mismatch" is that you (generally) have to write in a style to extract lots of parallelism. This tends to be very different than the way you'd write scalar CPU code, but not completely alien to me as it has a lot of similarity with the way you'd write SIMD. I've pretty much gotten the hang of it now. I'm thinking of a blog post of redoing path_coarse.comp from its current basically scalar style to a more parallel version, as that would I think illuminate the issues.

Here’s a note https://collectednotes.com/blog/support-for-youtube
Prior to COVID, I was solid consumer of business rentals.

Rideshare is good for getting to the airport and back, but if I'm spending a few days at the destination (which in my case is usually suburban), a rental car can be both cheaper and more convenient than rideshare in smaller, underserved markets and in the suburbs. Also if you're making multiple stops of indefinite length, catching rideshare each time can be frustrating. Rideshares also have a limited radius while rentals don't. If you need to drive 2-3 hours from the airport to your destination, it's easy on a rental but not really advisable on a rideshare (possible but rideshare drivers hate it).

I wonder if the problem with car rentals maybe isn't the business model, but how modern the operations are.

I'm with National so I get to pick my own car. National has really nice cars so sometimes I end up with nice rides like Audi A3s for the price of a midsize (~$30/day -- I have free executive membership through my credit card). It's really not that much of a hassle with the app -- get off plane, walk to lot, pick a nice car, drive off. Driver's license, credit card + insurance etc. are all electronic. No dealing with any CSR. Only human interaction is at the exit where they check your DL (or QR code on your phone), scan your car's barcode and then open the barrier arm. My avg time to check-out is ~10 minutes, and returns are ~5 mins (excluding gas fill-up). This is with National.

The Hertz experience is much more plodding. Their systems are a little more archaic. You have to check in at the counter if you don't have Hertz Gold, and you can't pick your own car. They're more expensive than other rental companies but their vehicles definitely are not nicer. Hertz has the largest market share but the worst customer experience of the majors.
My worry with both the car rental market as well as hotels is the constant upselling or offers/loyalty programs/etc.

The good part about Uber or Airbnb is that there isn’t any of that. You find what you want, pay the price they ask for and that’s it. I agree that there are other major problems with them but at least the user experience for buying the service is on point.

When it comes to hotels I either have to book direct and fill in my details every time (I don’t have a preference for any brand, so having an account with one particular brand doesn’t solve the problem either) or use sites like Booking/Expedia and suffer the constant upselling or dark patterns.

I don’t need your “loyalty” or “offers” or anything. I need you to tell me what’s available, take my money and get out of my way. I’d gladly pay money if such a service existed (that doesn’t belong to any particular hotel chain so that all the hotels are on there).
I am looking at building a cabin up north like this, but it will just be a summer retreat, not somewhere to live year round.
> feel like SwiftUI had brought a number of challenges that have massively complicated the language and

I've been a huge fan of Swift for years, and it's still one of the languages I reach for most for personal projects, but I was really put off by the way the rollout was handled for the features supporting SwiftUI, specifically property wrappers and function builders. Property wrappers in particular feel like a half-baked solution to paper over the lack of real meta-programming facilities.

I think it was especially disheartening the way these changes were sprung on the community after being shown at WWDC. It just made the promise of Swift being an open source project built through a community-based process seem like a bit of a farce, and made me a bit more apprehensive about investing in a language which might radically change in direction based on the product needs of Apple.
I worked at Amazon in the early aughts. They had the same non-compete then. I worked around it by going to business school after I left. By the time I took my next job, the 18 months had expired. Plan your post employment very carefully -- both financially and career wise when you join one of the big 4. When you receive a salary offer, calculate the actually salary by assuming 18 months of unemployment.

More than likely I'd imagine it's the last option. They can only produce so many of the edited cells. The body is going to have orders of magnitude more of the original ones present before the treatment that I think they'd just overwhelm the new ones. If you remove the original ones the new ones have a place to thrive and eventually get to normal levels

You got this backwards, an M4 is actually a knock off of the AR-15. That is to say the AR-15 came before both the M16 and the M4 and both of those guns were built from the AR-15.
Very shady. Move to a place where those terms are unenforceable. I think its less about Amazon being scared and more of a tool to suppress wage growth.
Let's think in first principles here, shall we? Stocks (or equity) is a fractional stake in current and future earnings of the company. We know if a company declares bankruptcy, its liabilities have exceeded assets and equity is down to zero or negative. Debt holders have higher priority stake in the company, so the first thing that happens in ~100% bankruptcy filings is debt holders take ownership of all assets. Current equity is almost always wiped out. After restructuring, debt holders may issue new equity, which may be worth something - but is completely different from what is currently circulating right now. No matter how you look at it, Hertz stock currently is worth zero. When street price of an asset is higher than its intrinsic value - that's literally the definition of a bubble. One can easily make money trading a bubble asset, but should not conflate returns here with asset's ability to generate future income.

The delicious coincidence of Amazon forcing that abusive clause into a contract with someone whose name translates to "vassal".
For them like me who don't know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_error_correction as I didn't know what the 'forward' part meant.

It seems be error correction add to the sending stream to 'mend' broken data, vs error correction by the receiver detecting an error and requesting a re-send.
And lets you do things without bothering them either.
The crazy part of these clauses is the “or any business the company might get into” ... dude you’re amazon, you might get into just about anything.

Thankfully these clauses don’t work in California
Sounds like you're agreeing with me. Redbox is an example of a video rental re-think company that's still doing ok even though Blockbuster failed. Did video rental go away completely? No. But the legacy industry collapsed spectacularly still.

The current industry is a dinosaur. The industry is going through a shakeup. Maybe it's car sharing, maybe it's a new rental model. Regardless, the existing Blockbuster-like, Sears-like, K-Mart like companies have a lot to be worried about.
So say you join Amazon and after 1-2 years you're no longer happy, is jumping ship to FNG (+Apple/msft) out of the question?

Seems a little overzealous if you are a rank and file
Reminds me of a post employment copyright assignment clause added to the other employment paperwork when I started my latest job. I was near the end of my savings after being laid off, so I had no real room for saying “no”.

I tend to find it really powerful and nice. The lightweight closure syntax is something I often miss in other languages
I've been thinking about this for a year or so. There's a lot of pain points that could be solved:

* Insurance not included in prices displayed in search

* Underage surcharges not included in prices displayed in search

* Receiving a different model compared to what was booked

* Paperwork(sometimes digital Onan iPad) should all be done via an app

* Phone should unlock car

Some of the traditional rental companies have tried to solve some of these issues and there have been a few startups in the space. I'm not aware though of anyone trying to build a ground up tech first competitor to Hertz or Avis Budget. It is an expensive industry. SoftBank money would be needed to achieve scale.
It is not common in the US. In parts of the middle east it’s a daily affair to see someone walking around with an AK or equivalent
So run it somewhere where that clause is not legal.
> Smalltalk-like syntax would not have been nearly quite as marketable

This was one bit I left out: with Objective-C, Apple had firmly established keyword syntax in a Tiobe top 3 language, albeit within square brackets, so there was absolutely no need to do this for "marketing". It truly was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

> that your language is noisy

Smalltalk is about as syntactically quiet as you can get.
It had access to the full VBScript or JScript runtime and WScript host. This means you could do OLE Automation, filesystem access, network access, registry access, and I believe invoke processes.

At the same time, companies were locking down WScript due to scripting viruses and HTAs that were impersonating other applications with their configrable icons.
I can't seem to access the original source. Is it a non-compete for entry level workers the way Jimmy Jones tried to put in place? If so, it is silly and not reasonable. Those used to be for senior level people who could actually do some damage. A kid stocking stuff? I do not think so.
I feel like somebody ought to start a project which systematically goes through the ecosystem removing these dependencies.

For more complex micro-libraries, perhaps they could be collated into a single, larger high quality library.

The chemo used to kill the remaining bone marrow has serious fertility implications anyway so I'm not sure this is an issue.
The problem is really not as big as most commenters here make it out to be.

With most modern bundlers, bundle size is rarely the problem anymore. NPM audit helps detecting and fixing security vulnerabilities of dependencies. And build process breaking because of dependencies is rather a sign of having a bad CI pipeline.

I am not saying it is great to have many dependencies, but it's really not THAT bad.
Something that may not be obvious: JavaScript absolutely, can not under any circumstances, break backwards compatibility. If JavaScript breaks backwards compatibility, it literally breaks the web.

Most of the complexity we're seeing in projects is around that constraint applied to 'modern' JavaScript - we have to translate all of our modern code into older code that older browsers can still understand. JavaScript can't just forget the past right now - there might be a point in the future where it's given the IE6 treatment: "if you're using a browser that can't support a standard that is 10+ years old, tough, you need to upgrade." But we have to all move there, together, as an industry. It took a long time for us to dump IE6 in that way, it'll take a while before we can dump ES5.

This is exacerbated by the fact that there is no standard library in JavaScript. Check out some of webpack's dependencies: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/master/package.json#.... A lot of these are replicating basic functionality a standard library should provide.

But we can't just blame this on environmental factors - a lot of this feels very much self inflicted. For example: node provides a file system utility for but wepack is using a different one. Maybe the fs utility can't solve all of their problems and they need an extended one. Instead of just using the standard file system and dealing with the quirks of it, we have to write a new, slightly better one and use that instead. Locally, it might make sense for webpack to do that, but when you do it in aggregate across the industry, you end up with the death by a thousand cuts situation we find ourselves in.
So if you move from Seattle to SF then would you be free to work at another company of your choosing?
