Yes. Why do humans go to churches and recite prayers?

A poem is a text which has been hand-optimized to fit in human memory.
> No need for new standards, you just implement recent standards properly and don't pay attention to the real world

Unfortunately for your purposes, The specifications are defined in a layered way, and you can't just implement the recent ones without everything underneath. And then HTML5 codifies a lot of "real world messiness": early browsers did all sorts of strange things, and then layered on even more strange things to try and be compatible with each other. HTML5 threw away the approach of specifying the way things would ideally work, and instead focused on specifying the way things actually do work. Which means to implement HTML5 fully you really need to do quite a lot of work.
I don't agree that it's because no one cares about Windows metadata performance; both userspace/3rd-party developers and the kernel engineers care. Rather, they are loath to break any published API, and their metadata performance suffers from the limitations imposed by those historical design decisions (filter drivers, etc).

The price is expensive, but not eye-wateringly so. The non-preorder price gets closer to eye-watering territory, but it’s still in the range of things I’d buy if I was confident they’d save me quite a bit of time.

Your site does not inspire that confidence so far. Here are some things that leave me disinclined to purchase your book even though I consider the price reasonable and am interested in the topic:

1. I don’t know who you or your co-author are, and I don’t know of any SaaS you’ve built that I’ve used or contemplated using. Have I used something you’ve made? If so, tell me!

2. Show me an example of the SaaS that the book teaches me to build. If I could experience what result I might produce, it’s easier to spend the money to learn how.

3. In light of points (1) and (2) not being satisfied, your terms of purchase are really scary. I can’t download a copy of the book to keep? You can revoke my access at any time? No refunds? I know I can reliably get my credit card company to issue a chargeback within a month or two if something’s not as promised, but I tend to read this kind of content more slowly than that. I want to make sure that I can continue to have it as I make my way through it at my own pace.

I hope none of that sounds like hostile feedback. It’s not... I’m someone who’s actively looking for this kind of resource. The price itself isn’t a problem, except that I can’t see what I’m getting, I don’t know your work well enough to know I’ll find this work useful, and you say you won’t offer a refund if I don’t find it useful. Plus you say you might revoke my online access and refuse to offer offline access.
IMO, it makes more sense to allow a web site to specify its rendering engine in one of the HTTP response headers. The rendering engine would be WASM, and the actual site could be HTML or whatever.

As long as the rendering engines are distributed via CDNs, it would be extremely fast.
You're welcome. If your boilerplate application allows serving totally independent customers / organizations (not different teams of the same organization!), then, your project is, indeed, multi-tenant and SaaS-compatible. If so, please accept my apologies for missing that aspect of your boilerplate (I looked at it very briefly). Otherwise, my point still stands.
Sure. I'm in the space that doesn't care about that. This whole COVID isolation thing revived an interest in retro computing for me. So I've ordered and repaired/hacked 8+ old CPM, classic mac, RISC Unix, etc computers since March.

It's a little out of control (space/attention wise) now, to where I need to sell the things I've fixed and start a new batch. VAX/VMS might be a good next candidate.

Your reference is saying the exact opposite. Nate criticized polls saying she had a 98-99% chance of winning. It's clear even from the title!

This is absolutely true. It seems like the author did extensive research looking for information about physical features of each emperor to try to produce an accurate rendition.

There's terrible, and then there's terrible. If you try to implement things in a much simpler way, you will get many completely unreadable websites. Images will cover text, some text will be off the screen, it will be a garbled mess.

That's an interesting attack. However, it looks like they used it on rather simple lock. These locks could be picked quickly by a moderately experienced picker, and with the right tool, decoded.

But most high security locks have some kind of trick: sliders, rotating pins, pin in pins, or simply a rediculous amount of pins. It would be interesting to know how exciting security features in locks could prevent that attack. For example, if two pins are lifted at the same time, how to tell which is which by sound?

The biggest reason I have my preference of CC first is points and to a lesser degree consumer protection.

I'm guessing you couldn't let me use Amex as a middle man between me and your service and not charge some fee, and I have a feeling I (personally) wouldn't be all that interested as the overhead of bill payment isn't that high (for me as just one person). Not to say it isn't an issue for some. I definitely know it was when I was younger, but I'm not sure how much of that was how available online payment was at the time.
I don't find any of these terribly impressive.

1. I don't understand this at all. You presumably typed your function return to expect whatever value.Format() returns, presumably a String. You accidentally returned a boolean, which ought to be a type error. But your complaint is that the compiler didn't yell at you for discarding the result of the Format method. Huh? And I don't know and have never used the notebook thing he's talking about. If he has an issue with how that works, maybe it's a problem with that, and not the C# language.

2. Yeah that particular interface is annoying. I guess you could add a bunch of syntax sugar to make it easy like that, but the modern C# way seems to be more about using lambdas and the standard Linq extension methods to sort things. I can't get much enthusiasm about adding a bunch of new syntax sugar to make using the kind of archaic interface model smoother when there's already alternatives that work more like the way he wants.

3. Okay that would be kind of cool, and I think they already did add it, or plan to soon. I don't think it's enough of a benefit to be a major factor in choosing a language though.

4. I don't really know this IHtmlContent style of creating HTML. To me this seems like another case of, I guess that would be kind of cool, but I think there are better solutions for that already. I honestly would rather reach for whatever the standard HTML template format is for any language before using some object creator syntax sugar like that. It seems like that would be much nicer than any object creator format once you start adding in classes, IDs, formatting, etc.

5. Don't really know what he means here. dynamic is a thing all right. IMO, it's a handy thing for a few very special cases, and best kept as isolated as possible. For sure you can do some really horrendous things if you use too much dynamic everywhere, but it's on you to not do that. If you really wanna write dynamic code, best to switch to Ruby, Python, Javascript, etc. I suppose it's a good thing that it has it, just to give you the option if you really need it. Does he object to it existing at all, or to it being overused in some specific piece of code?
Agree with everything you said here, but let me riff on this

> The "print" statement being a great example. Was it kind of weird? Sure.

I am reminded of the Emerson quip "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". The Py2 print statement is special/weird because it is a very important and special behavior, especially for newcomers. It's not randomly special, it's special because it models something that deserves special treatment.

Py3 is more consistent, but less humane. I use it over Py2 only because the market has moved on, but every time I type print with parentheses I curse Guido.
I call bad attempt at cover-up. The government is trying to redirect the anger to "welders" because there is growing anger towards the ruling class.
> If you have 10 fields in your class, a constructor with 10 arguments is not appropriate. Instead we prefer object initialisers, but this requires exposing the ‘set’ method, and allowing mutability.

Why not have the ctor accept a single options object? At least if initialization is your only reason for allowing mutable props.
> It feels like I just lost 15 IQ points right after a meal. I also get kind of sleepy and unmotivated after.

That’s the large meal effect.

Small meals work better for me and I get sluggish and mentally slow when I’m hungry. As soon as I eat, I perk up and have lots of energy.

But I’m also at 11% or so of bodyfat so maybe my body is just less willing to dip into reserve energy stores.
Update: I have since decided to purchase a Mountie and I haven't used it much yet, but I'm pretty happy.
If Google had not focused on making it possible for publishers to earn money from their AMP pages, why would any of them have been willing to put in the effort to rewrite their pages?

With any sort of grand proposal like this, you need to think about all the different people in the ecosystem and why they're going to be interested in moving over to your system. I don't think AMP has really succeeded, but without having publishers on board it would have gone absolutely nowhere.

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google, speaking only for myself)
Would that be any more surprising than reverse engineering the filesystem allocation/layout?
> If your page isn't readable in Lynx and Links, you didn't code it properly.

Lynx/Links could really use an update (excuse me if they already have it - they didn't the last time I checked). There is nothing hard nor improper in supporting/using most of the HTML5 semantic tags.
> Parentheses may be used to specify the order, but there's a (usually) better way as well: whitespace! Fewer spaces means the function will be executed earlier.

Oh man, that is a fascinating idea I've played around with some, glad someone's put it more seriously into practice.

Re: assignments, Aaron sure seems to sprinkle them liberally inside lines - though not generally ones referenced in subsequent ones, to be fair. (I suppose another notable attribute of the co-dfns codebase is extensive use of ⊣ as a leftwards statement separator)

Mathematical functions are prefix, which imo is much harder to follow than either infix (OO/APL) or suffix (RPN/Forth), though this may be more of an english-speaking intuition than some manner of universal truth. I do at least observe a trend towards "imperative but functionally pure / side-effect isolated" in recent language design.
Yeah if there's an added fee I reach for debit or ACH, the points I get back on the CC purchase never pays back the transaction fee for bill payment.
Not in the same boat as you (20/50 lbs) lost but I too had to find the right method for my personality quirks. For me, I need only the healthiest, least calorie dense snacks around and a full fridge. I reduce the situations where I decide to order takeout and if I indulge a snack, it’s something either delicious but low calorie or something I’ll get tired of real fAst like baby carrots.

Power on and I’m sure you will hit your goal!
Everything has costs. Nothing is free. Public education funding has to come from somewhere so that educators can eat and classrooms can be built and maintained.

Financial transactions are not inherently bad. They are one half of value transfer. In your case, a win-win situation.
Bring back DSSSL. After all, what language has a better ratio of fundamental simplicity to expressive power than Scheme? Much of the emergent complexity of styles is due to CSS selectors being intentionally non-Turing-complete.

Kinda weird... I know University of Illinois has been doing saliva-based testing[1] for a few weeks now[2].

They also plan to roll it out nationally [3].

I am curious if this is the same test? I know students at UIUC need to do two tests a week and many have been.

Test results come back in a couple hours from what I’ve seen.

No we wouldn’t and by pretending anything Trump has done even pre-Covid is both trying to see “both sides” not to get flagged by HN and to say that all Republicans are just as malicious, corrupt and incompetent as his administration has been and is a lazy argument. I went out of my way not to paint all Republicans since 1980 with the same brush.

Before Trump, a Republican administration supported both the Voting Rights Act - didn’t try to disenfranchise minorities - and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Both Republicans and Democratic Presidents supported the EITC.

Bush didn’t demonize Muslims after 9/11 he went out of his way not to.

No I didn’t agree with all of their policies, but I didn’t feel that they went out of their way to target “others”. They showed a level of decency and poise that you don’t see now.

I still don’t see how this is coming off partisan.

To act as if any other President of either party in modern history has done the same things that he has said and done is a severe case of “whataboutism”.
The way most people use NTFS on Linux is through ntfs-3g, that's why the situation in the kernel has been tolerated so long.
I've loved following this series of posts as an amateur/layman wanting to know more about the hardware behind the chips I use!

Here's a question for anyone who might have an interest to help me understand (at a high summary level) --

Steady DC power is being provided to the chip, and the internal clock is going at 5 Mhz. What are the input and output signals like? Are they on the order of a few kHz and in a long stream of data (in a short burst?) that the CPU then takes and works on until the "delivery" burst? Is this the FSB? How many of the 45 wires coming off the CPU are for the input/output signals, or what are the rest of them for?

Thanks!
I wouldn't characterize the protestors in Portland as a fringe community, as the author refers to the topics of 'All Gas No Breaks' reporting. Ideas like racial justice and economic justice aren't fringe ideas. There is absolutely nothing fringe about treating all people equal, regardless of the color of their skin.
The shareholders do not all agree. Some of us want to see wage gaps narrowed. Some of us have been looking at how companies impact all stakeholders, including the local community. Sustainability is no longer a strange word.

The average employee makes decisions all the time.

And yes, the companies are prosperous. A few benefit. Society at large not so much. The US is behind by many measures.
A promise to keep a project up-to-date does not imply a promise to add a significant feature, such as multi-tenancy support (assuming that it's missing, that is). Re: price - $99 is pre-order price; by "regular" I referred to post-pre-order price of $199.
I've seen numbers in some workloads where ntfs-3g is 40% faster than NTFS on Windows, despite crossing between userspace and the kernel three times for every filesystem call (recent work in the kernel will potentially cut this down to two context switches each way for FUSE).
> better ratio of fundamental simplicity to power

That's an odd ratio to consider. Is high better or low? Or is there some particular positive optimal value we want to target?
Indeed, a typical research microscope gets magnification from both the objective and the eyepiece. A scope with 100x objective and 10x eyepiece is no longer considered high tech, though not cheap. The oil objectives are still useful, and particularly so when specimens are mounted under cover glass.
Huh. Neither was I. I've been using -C HEAD which has the same affect (reusing the commit from the branch head) but --no-edit makes it more obvious what's going on...sort of. It's still not clear what isn't being edited.
I still miss the simplicity of Borland's BGI and somewhat happy with direction SDL_bgi is taking: http://libxbgi.sourceforge.net/ . Latest version has support to Broland's .CHR fonts and seeing those glyphs rendered on modern hardware after 30 years is very cool.

> Berlin got a blackout once in a decade like most American cities get multiple times a year.

The Berlin power outage linked above was over thirty hours, and the SF outages you linked were a few hours. To bury that in "(not always duration)" seems misleading to me. That said, the 2019 power cuts were indeed approaching third-world duration and frequency, to the point that homeowners who could afford it applied the usual third-world workarounds (gas generators, etc.). That was mostly outside the biggest cities, but huge numbers of people were affected.

And how did we get from SF to "most American cities"? California's grid reliability is notoriously and distinctively bad, and a huge political topic here too (though with little progress after many years). The World Bank[1] puts the overall USA's quality of electricity supply solidly in the middle of high-income countries though, slightly ahead of Germany.

We also seem to be mixing load shedding (i.e., the utility realizes they can't safely supply all their customers and therefore deliberately cuts power to some) with accidental outages. They look the same to the customer, but perhaps imply different kinds of bad planning by the utility.

Linux code might be backwards compatible, but nothing like windows. I can run pbrush.exe taken from Windows 95 on windows 10, and it works fine. Want to run a 10yo binary on Linux? It's easier to set up a VM with a 10yo Linux release on it. You've hot the source code and you can compile it? Well, tough, the build tools have changed, and some autoconf script has been removed, even from autoconf-archive.
