Correct.

I like the "Controlling File Size" of the Tailwind CSS project: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/controlling-file-size

They DO tell developers to remove unused CSS when building for production of course, but in case you ship the whole (big) default file, it goes from 2309.7K to 180.6K (Gzip) or even 43.6K (Brotli)!

This assumes the laborer is selling work as an individual and not negotiating e.g. as part of a union.

Very cool isn't it. Straight from a movie.

Inmates love the chance to do the exciting work. They have to earn the right as you'd expect, being in demand.

They also get to give back to society and it's good for their mental health.

They are in the same boat as anyone who eventually leaves prison though, with work and life being hard. But that's nothing to do with this, that's about how we also have to organise opportunities for when all inmates leave.

Lots of media on it, obviously it's normally male inmates, but -

Indeed. And the dirty secret of this process is that it has little to do with ensuring research quality (although it does usually succeed in filtering out very bad research as a side effect). Its main purpose is to simply make it difficult to publish, so as to preserve the CV value of a publication in a given journal.

This is only discussing about whether the premise that components is the right abstraction is self-evident.

That's all, nobody else in this particular thread said anything about whether that means inline styles is the way to go.

You might want to post your question to the author of the blog post, or as a top-level question.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Wednesday that he had authorized the city to disconnect utility service at a Hollywood Hills house after it hosted several large parties in "flagrant violation" of COVID-19 public health orders.

The announcement comes two weeks after Garcetti first warned that properties hosting "un-permitted large gatherings" could have their water and power service shut off as a consequence.

Seems completely reasonable to me. I find it bizarre that the internet has an issue with it, the same internet that talks like the Gestapo about trying to force every last person to wear a mask at gun point.

In your position I would look to consider 2 things:

2) Let other devs make use of the hardware asap! Your strenght is clearly in the hardware. There are tons of game developers who could create incredible games with this. How great would be UFC game with this?

Good luck!
Sigh, well this is a generalization, but I think this is what happens when a country gets out of practice with building big infrastructure things. They have to learn the mistakes again because the capabilities and knowledge fade across time and across the sparse workforce.

In China (put aside all the political issues at the moment), they were building elevated track to the tune of something like a mile a day at the peak. (On the order of that magnitude -- elevated! Not even just plain track on bare earth)

What does that produce? A rail-building skilled workforce (10,000+ engineers) that has lots of practice, expertise, and templates to stamp out that stuff like it's their business. Here, we do this now, what, once per decade? Are there even 1000 such engineers that US companies could muster together to work on a project, not even to speak of the necessary contributing industries supplying the specialized tooling, materials, expertise for such a project?

I realize the story in question here was about a road bridge, but still it involves coordination and management with the rail component, and the point still stands I think.

Industry-wide skills and personnel fade and atrophy when a country doesn't do these things any more, or go overseas to where there are projects for them. These generational shifts in capabilities happen, unfortunately, while a country is not looking.
Congrats on raising a bunch of money!

To me, this looks very comparable to Fitness Boxing for the Nintendo Switch. I tried the demo of that intending to purchase, but then dropped out.

Regarding Fitness Boxing:
- I didn't feel comfortable with the workout: since I have never boxed before, I was confident that my form was bad and had too few pointers to feel good about it.

- I ideally wanted a whole body workout, and there was no focus on the lower body at all.

- It felt tough already without resistance bands, so I wouldn't be confident about whether those were bringing a useful benefit for me.

I'm in the process of switching a backend from django to dotnet core. As much as I love django's ORM, efcore is certainly feeling competitive.

A big reason is that C# has always 'rocked' and now they've got a platform that can be deployed on linux that feels complete. That's super awesome of them. And their documentation for dotnet core is top-notch.

That said, the last windows 10 auto-update managed to cripple the UI and (for real) network speed of the computer it ran on. That definitely didn't make me feel great about MS.

It's a mixed bag. It's almost as if the company is huge and we cannot say much about it as a whole.
Fair warning: I'm going to get a little poetic here. :)

Oh, there certainly is a lot of beauty in the world as well.

But it comes at a cost.

Every year or so, I try and get in at least one overnight backpacking trip, or at least one day of off-trail hiking. I'd do more, but I live in a country that cranked the "civilization" knob to 11 about a thousand years ago, and hasn't looked back since.

You really begin to appreciate things like "a hot shower" after a couple of days in the backcountry.

We can journey to those breathtaking vistas, relax, and bask in the majesty of creation because civilization makes that possible. With aircraft, roads, park rangers, clean water, nearly limitless food, all the rest.

Subsistence hunters, fishermen, and farmers certainly got to enjoy that same beauty, but I rather doubt it was as relaxing for them as it is for us.

And the reality is that violence is the price of civilization. There is not one civilization on the face of the earth that has escaped a baptism of blood and fire.

This has only gotten worse as our technological prowess has progressed.

Spending time, alone, in nature, you realize just how... vulnerable human beings are. Last time I went hiking, solo, in the US, I heard an animal approaching about twenty yards ahead of me. Turned out to be a bull, of all things.

I'm glad he was obviously used to humans -- and I was sure to give him all the room he wanted, and then some -- because, combined, my bear spray and my subcompact 9mm would have just pissed him off.

Nature, for all her beauty, is indifferent to suffering.

Human hunters work hard for an instant kill. Most other predators only work hard enough to disable their prey, and then eat it whether it is alive or dead.

As for humans being ugly... well, that's what I mean by choice.

You're totally right -- there's plenty of happiness to go around.

Part of the problem is that there's money to be made in making people unhappy.

Happy people buy less stuff.

But at least the stuff-sellers give you something. The real hustlers are the people that take your money for "the cause", whether the cause is Jesus, or Social Justice, or something else where you can be convinced to part with resources in exchange for a feeling of moral superiority.

It really is kind of amazing how wealthy politicians, preachers, and pundits can get when they successfully engineer or leverage a large social movement.

It is even more amazing how little they actually need to deliver.

That's what real greed looks like.

Another part of the problem is comparing yourself to your neighbor. I think that's even a cognitive bias, but I forgot the name -- that isn't not absolute wealth that we value, but that instead, we want to have more than the people that we can see around us.

Unless you master envy, you can never be satisfied in a world where you are always comparing yourself against the apex of whatever it is you value: wealth, strength, beauty, etc.

But all of those horrible things about humanity -- greed, envy, hatred, all the rest -- are things we can choose to overcome.

We can be better than the worst parts of our nature.

That's kind of where I was going.

Sweden enacted no mask laws.
They have had around 7 deaths in the past week.

In one study showed that mask laws decreased infections by around 2% after 21 days.

https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/pdf/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.0...

So there's a good chance that masks don't account for the massive decrease in infections you're seeing in Florida.

I think time will tell if you're correct or OP is correct.

If mask laws are lifted, and infection rate still continues to decrease, that means masks are ineffective and OP is correct.

If mask laws are lifted and infection rates increase again that means you are correct as masks did have an effect.

If you want good security, you can't download new untested code. Sandboxing is important, but the most important part is to not allow arbitrary code to run.

WASM seems like very good solution if you want to load random code and still retain as much safety and flexibility as possible. The burden is now moved to code that interacts with potentially misbehaving code. Check and verify all outputs, limit resource usage. Using WASM system It's not so different from calling remote server in the cloud. Anything can happen during executing but only the interacting with the system can cause harm outside the system.
Ask HN: What's the worst software you've encountered?
(long JavaScript-related rant warning)

I recently started to get back to the JavaScript world because I'm trying to get a job at front-end development. I was doing all the workflow stuff to get the thing actually working and for the first time I'm infuriated by a software.

It's a bundler which bundles multiple JavaScript files into one (if you want to use npm packages for frontend you have to use one of these), and this bundler is doing all sorts of things that a bundler shouldn't be doing.

First, it's compiling my code through babel (a JavaScript compiler which compiles the latest language features to an older more supported version), and there's no direct way to turn if off. Why does a bundler need to do this? If I need to use babel to compile my code I would just do it myself run my code through babel, I would never expect a bundler to do this task without my consent.

Second, it's adding direct dependencies to my package.json without my consent or even noticing me. I have an a `import shaderCode from "shader.glsl"` statement to tell the bundler to include the content of this text file to the final code, it does the job but when I look at my package.json again it's adding 2 direct dependencies, "glslify-bundle" and "glslify-dep", i have no idea what these do but they seem to compile my shader code somehow because if I mistakenly write the shader in someway it'll actually fail to bundle. I have no idea why it cannot just do its job
at including the content of one text file into another, and leave the correctness of the content to me or dedicated softwares who does this.

It feels like the software is being real rude to me. I like softwares that does ONLY one thing and does it well.

True. The java world it was common to put a jar (zipfile) in a war (zipfile). If you modify the jar so every file in it is stored instead of deflated, then package it in a war, the resulting file can be a lot smaller.

I agree, if you got a house with spare room then it should be easy to build a basic gym, if you don't drive and don't need car, you can even use garage as a small gym. But in apartments it's not so easy unless they are quite big. Once I own a house I would probably convert garage into a gym as I don't really have interest in cars or driving.

Show HN: Cloakist (custom domains and branding for any platform)
We noticed that many big platforms don't let you add custom domains, nor your own branding.

Just a couple weeks ago, Atlassian announced that they won't be supporting custom domains for their Cloud products this year. That feature request has been open for 10+ years.

And it's not just the dinosaurs like Atlassian. Newer kids on the block like Notion, ClickUp and RoamResearch also don't offer custom domains (or custom branding).

We've built Cloakist to solve this. It lets you put any public site at a custom domain, with your own branding added to the page.

Making this has been a really interesting experience so far, from both a technical and product perspective.

Curious to hear what the HN community makes of it and what advice you may have for me.

You can find live examples, use cases and more info at https://cloak.ist if interested.

> components are pretty uncontested these last few years

I don't think so. Many people still use traditional frontends, i.e. static or server-rendered HTML and CSS.

Components are newer and there is still more to talk about, so they naturally are more prominent on sites like hacker news. That doesn't mean they are uncontested in practice.
This person is discrediting MIT.

> In a free market you would be bidding up worker salaries to hire and retain the most efficient workers. Demand would often increase the price of labor and perhaps the output.

That's not necessarily true. You assume that demand for workers exceeds supply. That is true for some vertical skilled labor. The often unspoken truth is that most jobs are commodity positions and people can be interchanged (from a labor standpoint). There is no upward trajectory of salaries for those positions.
The existing legal framework provides for increasing fines and even criminal charges for repeated violations, and has already been successfully used against rich and poor alike for noise, fire & safety, occupancy rules etc. There's absolutely no need for new "tools" to deal with this. Any calls for additional powers should be viewed with extreme suspicion and scepticism.
Yes! This is dead on. I can't stop evangelizing Tailwind lately:
https://tailwindcss.com/

If you're using any component-based framework (I use Vue) it's an incredible experience. The stylesheet they provide helps you be consistent and inline styles help you move quickly. The natural ability of components to scope their markup and styles means that your code is actually DRY.

The barrier to make changes is so small. You don't have to refactor CSS classes as your HTML hierarchy changes, you just make the style changes in place.

It's such a powerful paradigm that it has made my designs much better. I get consistency for free and I can quickly translate from mental image to reality.

It may look ugly but don't knock it til you've tried it. It changes everything.
