- .eslintrc.json to configure ESLint

- .prettierignore because it tries to format package-lock.json

- prettier.config.json

- npm/yarn and package.json + node_modules

- .nvmrc to pin your node version

- .editorconfig to ignore node_modules

- mocha for testing and .mochaarc.js

- stylelint and .stylelintrc.json + .stylelintignore

And maybe throw in Jest, tsconfig.json, a gulpfile, and some other stuff.
That's the luxury of first world countries - one can enjoy a comfortable life outside tech, being a school teacher or an artist. In most countries that would mean starvation.
I use Edge similarly. I'm glad it's here and it's good because Firefox keeps losing share and I'm glad I have a second browser now from a major vendor that I could live with if developers stop testing with FF or if too many sites are broken using it for any reason.
I have a DigitalOcean mailserver that isn’t blocked by google, or o365 ;)
Deep Learning Completions For Jupyter
I am no expert in any sense but the comparison to 'limitless amount of money pumped in by Uber or SoftBank in the hopes of “capturing the market and making boatloads of money”' here is incorrect.

JIO already has a good amount of paying, repeating customers and they have the infrastructure setup and working already for 1B+ people (not subscribers).

So yeah, the tech companies might lose it but not like Uber / Wework did (IMO). Also, another important point to note is that Reliance, regardlesss of the political party, will have the backing.
Interesting approach, but it sounds like a lot of baby went out with the bathwater.
There is a difference between being conservative and being a fascist/nationalist.

Breitbart is a textbook example of fascist propaganda.

"Fascism is a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion"

- Robert Owen Paxton, American historian

Note the part about "community decline, humiliation and victimhood", then go to breitbart.com and check what the headlines are about. Checkmate, fascists.
Yes heaven forbid we have some sort of accountability or set of professional standards
I didn't realize Moldova had any suitable ports with which to register a sea-going vessel (I assume even flags of convenience require the ability to actually dock the ship?), but apparently due to a border exchange with Ukraine, Moldova now has access to a tiny stretch of the Danube: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Giurgiule%C8%99ti
Yeah, I can imagine he faced many money/moral tradeoffs in his career, as do many of us, and perhaps he became more and more numb over time as he kept choosing the money, the whole boiling frog theory (if I used that correctly).

I guess I still see it as an issue of how connected he felt to himself and other people. I know plenty of people right now, who, if they were offered his salary to do the same job, would never do it. And others who were probably in a field like that and quit because it was getting too much, or maybe even became whistleblowers.

Makes me also think about how some of us can become workaholics to avoid pain in our lives, or crave lots of money to cover up for fears of not having or being enough.
I have literally never heard that being a thing. Not sure if this is actually true...
It works fine in Edge as well if you don't want to support that sort of neglectful behavior by Google.
I'm not sure why this [1] pattern can't be adopted/extended. Put everything in a .config directory.

Search path for config is:

* /etc/config

* $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (~/.config)

* $PROJECT_CONFIG ($PROJECT_ROOT/.config)

* directories between $PROJECT_ROOT and $CWD for .config

* $CWD/.config

This allows for system wide, then user wide, then project wide, then directory hierarchy configs, with lower levels overriding higher ones.

Inside .config, each tool can have it's own chosen file, directory, extensions directory, so:

.config/$TOOL.{json,yaml,toml,ini,xyz}

.config/$TOOL/config.ext

.config/$TOOL.d/modular config files eg 00-module.ext

Most of the time for most projects, there will be system wide and user wide config, then a project wide config. Overrides lower in the hierarchy tend to be less used.

Yes, it means that there's a tree search for a tool to get its final config. Whether that's a real issue for performance or otherwise is a potential to remove some of the hierarchy/search.

I Memorize Things
Parent comment plays into the current narrative of Anti-American sentiments and bolstering their internal prejudices with twisted reasoning and siding with massive drug smuggling operations.

What’s worrying about anti-American sentiments is that people are willing to advocate for the worst of atrocities just to satiate their emotional state exasperated by media.

I saw similar opinions in countless other threads. America has become the punching bag, thanks to President Trump.
It’s honestly a shame that we didn’t keep pursuing sail technology. It’s great that we’re finally getting somewhere environmentally-friendly with ship tech nowadays as in the OP, but if we’d put the same amount of effort to innovate and advance sails like we did steam, I imagine we’d have pretty amazing (and completely green) methods of transport for all but the heaviest cargo loads (and even then, just split the load across multiple ships?).

Of course, nowadays the tech is probably so far behind that the cost of the necessary innovations to “catch up” sails to modern powering methods is completely prohibitive; I guess the environment will continue to take one for the team...
Once upon a time I was signing up for a payment processor, put my information in page 1 then walked away on page 2 to handle dinner or something.

Got a phone call from a Sales rep 10 minutes later asking if I need help filling it out or if I was having second thoughts!

I had to sign up anyway (it was for work), but still... that was a shock.
It'll be interesting to see if the DOJ manages to confiscate the crypto this time around, and if so how.
I think those kinds of articles are really unfair.

Yes, Erlaing is 500 line for code -- but this includes text parsed and I/O, main loop, nice descriptive names, good test suite.
The "shorter" APL version has none of this, it is just the main function.

Rewrite APL version to add I/O, text parsing and unit tests; rewrite erlang version to get rid of all the descriptive names and extra whitespace -- and then you can have a fair comparison.
It was annoying but nowadays it helps you never see or use the main Facebook app.

So in a way their arrogance may have hurt them in the long run.

I haven’t seen CommonJS modules for years now, only ES modules. Didn’t realize this was such an issue still.

> You can’t require() ESM scripts

That’s one way to put it! Another would be to say that you don’t have to. require() came about because we didn’t have the import keyword.
You be surprised at how many people would fail their own interviews. I think if companies ACTUALLY cared about hiring the right people for the job they would focus on adjusting their interview and recruiting process. Put your own people through the same interviews you're about to give candidates. If not every single person who's doing the same job can pass, it's a bad process, or you have bad people, but it can't be both.
Appreciate the DV`s :)

Some jokes never get old [0].

I’m genuinely curious, what innovations could there possibly be for sails beyond increasing surface area or either the sails or the keel?
> So there's no way to distinguish from the determinant between the identity and between a reflection across two axes.

I fail to see the point you tried to make. Both transformations preserve volume. Why did you expected volume to change if you rotate something?
If you're interested, you should read GiveWell's detailed analysis of why it's reasonable to believe this (i.e. the efficacy of the charity to date, whether additional money will be spent with similar efficacy, etc.) and really form an opinion for yourself about whether it's true. Then, act on that opinion.

Not sure what internal prejudices or twisted reasoning I have about my own country. I certainly don't know what it has to do with Trump.

My concern is that countries will ship people to a country they've never been to for things like drug crimes. The standard for what's wrong is going to change in coming decades, and countries that thought it's normal to extradite people for things like drugs are going to find themselves opposing extradition for things like illegal speech, etc.

And there are various charities that send things like birth control or abortion pills to women who can't legally or safely access them. I think if we saw incidences of people being extradited for mailing birth control, most people would agree it's a huge overstep.
"No, I can't read what it says. Let's fly ahead." :)
As much as we like to pretend to only look at the arguments itself, I think part of the reason is because Travis is a pretty well known hacker. If I or you had published it, it probably would not have made it to the front page.

Even if I disagree with his overall opinion on reproducible builds, I think he does bring forward valid arguments and I personally took something away from reading his blog post (e.g. the word bugdoor).

But to your point, I think up-voting is a sign of approval, while commenting usually is used to criticize. Why would anyone comment on something they 100% agree with?
Reminds me of Hadouken and Shoryuken moves :)

Add a retractable/foldout solar array for low seas and low wind, add solar capture to the sail fabric, add windmills for side/tailwind conditions too.

Would probably need to be part of a hybrid powerplant though, but if you could get even 10-20% efficiency it might pay for itself in shipping where the boats are in service for a long time usually.

Long range shipping, like air travel, is a major hole in low-carbon strategies right now. Biodiesel or fuel-from-excess-solar/wind might be the only other option.

Or thorium powerplants for ships.
Because you can hire someone without a masters degree for much less, and they have the skills to do the job. By putting over qualified people in roles that don't use their skills, you have done no one any favors.
Why must it? Why not have they work only with 80% reliability if it could lower the price and put it in the hands of way more people?
Oh my goodness, cornell notes. Perhaps it was the way we were forced to use cornell notes by my secondary school teachers, but I never saw the appeal nor the benefit.

The summarization portion is probably the main advantage over the other note taking methods IMO.

A few hours before you made this comment, you made a nit-picky objection on a different HN post about Intel i5 versus Intel i7. Someone responded to you saying that i5 and i7 are marketing terms that most consumers interpret as an indicator of performance. You replied, "I guess this isn't really 'hacker news' then, because I would expect just about any 'hacker' would know the difference."

Then, you came to this HN post and described a bunch of people as "nerds" for trying to interpret the magnitude of the blast by observing what was captured on video.

The contrast between these two simultaneously held attitudes is so bizarre that I am chuckling to myself as I try to grasp your underlying thought process.

(You could easily have switched your approach to the two threads, criticizing the Intel i5-vs-i7 nerds while doing some napkin math to come up with your own estimate of the Beirut explosion in TNT terms.)
If the natural compound is not shelf stable I wonder what the difference with the synthetic is.
This is not what unexpected!

To me the scourge is tool config files being in the repo at all.

Ok I’ll make an exception for .gitignore or something that enforces house style or formatting conventions to make things proper for check in.

But an editor config? That’s so user-specific and shouldn’t affect (or should I say “infect”) the source code.
Online Metronome
The Weird and Wild World of X11 Key Events
I’m no expert, but it’s possible that advances in material science, our understanding of wind & ocean currents, GPS, etc. over the last, what, 150 years? all could massively improve efficiency.

As far as I know, humanity was still improving sailing tech till the steam engine dominated it. I guess my point is that it’s impossible to tell where we could’ve been now without actually having those years of iteration & innovation; the steam engine quickly and abruptly stymied all developments on that front.
I mean, feel free to be annoyed with the commentary, but there was no official live stream of the event.

There were 3-4 non-official live streams, I think all of them provided by people who have streamed every single one of these tests live.

Asking those people to not have a reaction when the thing actually flies is a little far-fetched, unreasonable, and contrary to what their audience wants and expects.

This isn't a reaction video with "some pre-packaged emotional reaction", it's sitting down to watch an historical event with friends - hardly a dumbing down of anything.

Even in the official streams of other events the hosts become emotional, and are often drowned out by the cheers of those around them. I really have no idea what it is you want or expect from these live streams.

I can't imagine there would be that many.

Sails just don't provide all that much motive force, and they're far too unreliable (wind dies down, it doesn't matter how much sail you have.)

Maybe the GP was thinking more along the lines of general 'green' tech -- wind turbines, solar panels, etc? It would certainly be cool to see more of those to supplement existing propulsion systems on ships, and that would help reduce the amount of fuel burned for shipping, which uses some of the dirtiest fractions of petroleum.
I think that one of the neat new narrative art forms that GPT-3 like algorithms will make possible is a prose cinema where the author is more like a director, prompting agents to react to one another. Like lining up billiards shots. I think a bunch of people are doing stuff kinda like that now at least in regard to poetry generation.

At what point does the billiard ball stop being an object of your will?
I've been long enamored with Philippine boat making. The first time I was asked if I wanted to ride in a canoe, I said no and had horrid flashbacks of tipping over in dirty ponds in the south USA. Theirs, even homemade ones, have stabilizers. Such a simple, but brilliant idea.
Based on the downvotes, it appears that I was unclear. It is NOT SAFE to take HCQ as a preventative. (And ingesting Lysol is plain nuts.) It may be okay to take D supplements as a preventative, but based on Deva Boone's advice, that comes with risks over the long haul.

No it’s not spam. Stripe stopped payments to Gab, which is mentioned in the article in the greater context of Silicon Valley companies having too much power in our society, controlling our speech/thoughts/politics/values. We should not put trust in Stripe and give them the same undue power given to Visa and MasterCard over payments in our society, unless they refuse to abuse that power.
propulsion. Additional 3-4km/s of delta-V would allow to not be limited to those once-in-2-years launch windows and significantly decrease travel time. That would be a game changer on top of the game changer that the Mars bound Starship is already going to be. Nuclear launch from Earth isn't an option, yet Starship can easily launch a reactor into LEO, fission or fusion (fusion i think will even be more compact), and it can be used from there.
It's not just enterprise - many small / mid size places are much much happier (myself included) with an invoice attached.

AWS gets this right (even though invoice is high level). You get something that can be quickly forwarded down / up and around and end up in the AP system / accounting system etc in good shape (ie, vs a 6 page PDF of an email chain). They just care that third party invoice is there in good shape with approval by whoever owns the expense line its hitting.
There's a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode where Larry David's character donates to a museum with his name on the donation. There's no self deception for him; he wants to do something good AND he wants the credit. And that's totally fine! The character is self aware enough to know that part of his motivation is selfish.

My point is that by not acknowledging the selfish part of "wanting the credit", the author comes off as not self aware [or disingenuous, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt]. That's what I meant by cheapening it for them.

I wonder how this would affect the climate, the rains especially.
We don't feel the US did more in terms of quantity of dead men, we know more Soviet-affiliated troops died there. However with hindsight we now know the real plan of the Soviet Union - it never was to help Europe, but to conquer it. So in conclusion the US government helped us more (and not just during the war), while the SU government sent more people to die for their shady goals here. Nobody is discounting the heroism of the individual soldiers. The sad thing is that the current Russian government is using their legacy to pursue their shady goals again.
The problem with ideograms is what happens when things go wrong.

There are a lot of people out there who are barely literate; although for obvious reasons probably not so many of them make it to HN. If someone don't know how to spell and needs to communicate in a latin script they have a couple of chances. Sounding things out, guessing at spellings for words that have only been heard, etc.

The idea is interesting and worth exploring; but ultimately I'd worry that it will be exclusionary and hard to work with for people who don't do much written communicating.
I appreciate the answer "I don't know" when it's the right answer. And I think the Go team is an excellent example of holding steady on "I don't know" until the answer arrives, despite all the flak they've received for taking their time. I also think the way they've decided to go about announcing/framing these recent drafts is smart; they're learning from the past.
My requests - pass interchange onto the customer - and allow merchant to do so explicitly at whatever rate they want (not cash discount or anything). Ie, merchant might cover first 1% of interchange, pass rest on (so "premium" card holders with high interchange and high rewards pay the big price). We do have to get to chip+pin so the fraud issues diminish.
And the draft specifically mentions that those methods are the minimum interface - a library that supports contexts could always do this either way.
I very much appreciate the way you’ve discussed these topics in this thread. You definitely have a tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt and I don’t think that quality is inherently faulty. I do think we have to recognize that some actions may require a certain level of sociopathic behavior and that sociopathy is very real.
Combining technologies would absolutely be a great way to pivot, as the article shows. Maybe it’s a dumb question, but why don’t we have sails on modern ships as a supplement?

I just lament that we basically completely abandoned such a great mechanism (sails) so haphazardly just because coal was cheap & reliable; now the environment pays the price.
Only thing I could think of would be a hybrid boat...sail + solar powered / wind powered electric motor?
> the last 2 LTS releases of Node

(Author here.)

Node 14 supports ESM, but Node 12 only supports ESM behind the --experimental-modules flag, and its error handling for incorrectly importing CJS is not good.

In 2020, I think it's a bit early to go ESM only, especially since it's straightforward for CJS libraries to support both CJS and ESM clients. (I document how to do this in the article.)
For me in the USA it says 10 million.

You can see the spreadsheet model GiveWell used to come up with their "dollars per life saved" number here. See the "Bednets" tab for the AMF calculation. With regard to how the foundation spends its money, the only input considered is "dollars donated per anti-malarial bed net distributed" (about five bucks, depending on country), and work proceeds from there to establish the value of one bed net distribution.
