They don't do the event normalization/redirection. This is something you probably won't notice or need in your project anyways. I myself encountered the difference just once, when using Portals: In React, all events inside the portal would bubble/propagate to the parent components of the React component tree just as if the portal was mounted as a child of the surrounding component. In preact, all events in the portal propagate to the actual, real browser DOM hierarchy. I.e. if you have a click event inside the portal, the wrapping Preact parent component would never see the event or be able to handle this. This incompatibility would only be an issue when migrating to Preact from React; if you start with Preact from the beginning you would refrain from using this event bubbling to notify the enclosing component and use some other mechanism (i.e. forward the event data through a custom event handler or PubSub instance).
The way I - a non-designer - understand this, these flow cards are not wireframes as such, where the intention would be to structure the information/content presented to the user on a page.

Instead, I view these as basically standardized "icons" - a visual language - with each depicting a function/meaning of one page (or step) in a flow. For example, you could have a "landing page" flow card, "account login" flow card, "home dashboard" home card, depicting the user flow when accessing their account.

It doesn't matter what the actual wireframe layout is at that point, as this is for a step before that, where you want to see what are the steps the user follows to do a specific thing.

I might be completely off the mark here, but if that's the intention: preparing a smaller, well defined and named set of cards, basically designing a language for this, would be clearer. As a non-designer, mixing the semantic value of the cards (if understood as icons) and the actual layout on each of the card (a step toward wireframing) makes it more confusing. Limiting the number of choices would force the designer(s)/stakeholders to focus on the meaning, not the mechanics.

>t'll be difficult to convince them to shift to electric ones that costs more

This electric tractor markets itself as having twice the torque of an ICE tractor of a similar size. This means you don't need a bigger more expensive tractor.

>If anything, battery powered cars lose a lot of value as their battery capacities tend to decline over time.

EVs lose in value because of government subsidies. The list price is $30k but you only have to pay $25k because of subsidies. Nobody is going go buy your used EV for more than $25k because they can get a new one instead.
This is extremely cool.

It makes me think if you were an alien life form who lived for eons, maybe eight years would be like an eye-blink (in some sense), and perhaps this is one of the perspectives you would have, if you wanted it.

"where the women do all this crappy work."

Cooking is not "crappy work". Risking your life in coal mines, fixing broken pipes of shit, garbage disposal, being shot to death in useless wars, those things are crappy work (although apparently many miners like their jobs).

You can perhaps argue about having a choice, but even that works both ways. Men rarely have the choice to stay at home to do the crappy work, rather than risk their lives in the outside world. But that is for another discussion. I just wanted to point out your obvious misguided bias about cooking here.

It doesn't seem impossible to stay living close together and still give people more options. Most freedoms were won by the invention of the washing machine and other modern appliances, making household chores less time consuming.
> I am a man

> I have a full time career

> despite that I still find cooking for my family

that's nice for you.

we were talking about people without that choice though.

so you are a man. you have a full time career. period.

this is the happy multi generational family living that was described.
> Software is even worse

Indeed. Even stuff like pfSense has only rudimentary IPv6 support.

And I guess software support is poor because they're still figuring out how to actually deploy IPv6, churning out new RFC's[1].

Any developers using it, yes that also includes the likes of VSCode.

The priorities of anyone that uses Electron are the ones that are wrong, picking developer comfort instead of what is good for users or the Web.

Use a daemon with local browser or the OS webwidgets.

Yes it is more work that coding against Chrome APIs, but that is the whole point if one cares about the Web in general, otherwise those developers could just update their CVs to ChromeOS developer.
Then why base it on faith? Make it impossible to vote multiple times/places, or as someone else. Invalidate registration [6] for , and immediately flag when, a dead person tries to vote. Make it so you can instantaneously see that your vote was entered and confirm it to help with the anomaly detection. I think this is what everyone wants, and I think it would appease many worries. Unfortunately, this would almost certainly require voter ID, which has mixed popularity, and a reporting system, which requires tech, which the governments lowest bidder mentality appears to be wholly incapable of.

Additionally, harden these electronic voting machines, which have had constant press about their vulnerable for the last two decades [1][2][3][4]. Open source the software stack. Even simple, human, steps like each person puts a provided penny into the machine, so counts can be correlated, would be an improvement and add a real world aspect that people could personally understand, over the counter in memory that has no traceability.

The thing that I find most frustrating part about all of this is the perspective. Rather than silencing talk about fraud, hoping it will go away, we should tackle the reality of it and ask why people distrust the voting system, and find real world solutions, to increase that trust. The fact that every election before this one ended with sensational headlines of examples of voter fraud, but this year it's journalistic silence and social taboo, probably doesn't help (as insignificant as those previous stories were).

Ask HN: Still “betting” in blockchain technology and crypto space?
Quoting “betting” as I’m not asking about crypto investments but rather if any of you still believe in the current state of the technology and applications. I recently found myself digging a bit deeper into ethereum’s dapps and, at least that’s my feeling, found almost the same exact situation as 2 years ago. Abandoned apps, awful user experiences, unuseful speculative apps(at last for me). Ethereum is still marketed as “a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications.” Yet I have to find any real killer application based on the Ethereum blockchain. The documentation is poor, solidity doesn’t even seem a programming language. Worst of all It’s very difficult to find any piece of criticism around the internet, google only suggests me links of people giving investment insights. I really don’t understand the hype and why people are still reteaining coins of useless blockchains that haven’t changed my life at all(maybe DeFi?). Please tell me, am i wrong? What am i missing? Cause for sure I’m missing something, I’d like to be enlighted, I was a first time enthusiast of blockchain technology.
It's a satire
I dont think that's impressive. I think it means something is wrong with governance.
And we're not seeing US troops bombing entire cities, destroying hospitals or schools, or even building offshore torture camps for the responsibles!
Areojet Rocketdyne also gets 100s of million per engine because they live of massive SLS pork. They will produce a very small number of engines. Comparing that to what SpaceX is doing is a bit ridiculous.
This is a nice accomplishment, a step forward. But to some extends it's a step forward in a backwards system. It's a bit like the 'if cannibals start eating with forks, is it progress'-question.

Agriculture has become a industry of scale, but that might be it's undoing. It might be better to have an electric tractor doing the ploughing, but wouldn't it be even better to do less ploughing? With the invention of fertilizers (which isn't bad in itself) we where able to scale, but we needed more fertilizer, the soil became more barren and devoid of soil life with every iteration.

With heavier tractors we needed to lower the water level to not get stuck in the soft soils, the heavier tractors compacted the soils even more, so we needed heavier tractors to till en plough the soil again. Otherwise we couldn't force the same crop out of the soil year after year.

When we're only looking at the economic outcomes of the agronomic industry, we're forgetting a few things. I work in IT, I work at an environmental NGO, I have an interest in agroecology, organic farming and such but I often feel it's an 'either/or' kind of thing.

It's either locally sourced, community supported agriculture with a huge focus on soil restoration, resilience, crop rotation, diversity (polyculture? as opposite of monoculture) land access which attracts a specific crowd of people. Think leftist, anarchistic, community-oriented, spiritual-religious (which group I really like) but with a lot of menial/manual labor, a aversion of technology. Which can be explained by the centralistic nature of a lot of technology, and it often being focused on ‘vertical scaling’.

Or it’s hip startups with sensor tech, drones, AI-platforms predicting where you’ll have te best results and use for example ‘variable-rate seeding’ and program your fleet of heavy tractors to automate it all. We’ve automated quite a lot in ‘beef production’, but maybe we should do less of that and focus more on finding solutions to scale horizontally? (Like we might need less humongous farms producing one specific product but more smaller farms producing various products).

Hopefully this makes sense to someone ;)
But like even all of that being the case, that’s still no justification for taking 3wks to validate the data. The actual testing process is no different, the only difference is in how quickly approval comes. The same evidence is considered regardless. So what is the ethical justification for taking longer to consider the exact same evidence? Now if your point were that they should consider more evidence, then that’s fine and I can understand that but that’s not what’s at question here. The question is the speed at which the evidence is considered. What is the medical ethics justification that the UK was able to use to get this out over a week ago that is invalid in the US?
I love Preact, you'd have to look really hard to find actual, real-world differences that would make you use React over Preact. I find it funny that Preact also has a drop-in hook replacement `useErrorBoundary`, while React to this date still forces you to use class-based components if you want to establish error boundaries (using `componentDidCatch`).
> I’m a man

This is exactly the kind of choice that we were talking about which does NOT exist in the "happy multi generational example" that we were talking about.
But at the end of the day either you give everyone a vote or you don't.

A system where the most trusted people had 10 votes and least trusted people had 0.1 vote might make sense in a society of nerds voting on a software project, but not in general political application.
Except in Sweden, which I talked about. Read your own citations before making statements about truth.

> You do realize that capitalism co-opts everything and that women entering the workforce led to two people now earning what a single person used to?

... in the US maybe.

Other places are arguably way more progressive in their equality between men and women, and do not have this problem either.

(the lesson from this should be that the USA has multiple problems, not all of which stem from lack of equality, one of which is their cultural attitude wrt capitalism, in particular being nearly blind to its obvious shortcomings)

They haven't gotten the short end of the stick. They have higher life expectancy, and get to spend more time with their children. The reason for that is that they have the better bargaining position when it comes to the division of labor, because they have the wombs. Basically men have to offer to provide for them in exchange for women bearing their children. Some other aspects of physiognomy, too, like body strength - basically nature decided some of the division of labor for us long before humans gave it a conscious thought. Like it would have made little sense to send the women out to defend their village against neighboring tribes, while the men stayed at home to nurse the children.

The one place where they historically had the shorter end of the stick is the high risk of dying in childbirth. Things have improved much with regard to that, though.
> We limit speech already, you can't advocate for the killing of other people, races, etc...

Actually, not that I support such behavior but (at least in the US) you can generally advocate for it. People usually don't (thankfully) so I don't have any examples immediately to hand, but my understanding is that the legal test is "imminent lawless action". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio)

> free speech is the solution to all democratic problems, it's not an absolute good

Rather than an absolute good, I would argue that it ought to be viewed as an absolute right. I would also argue that, whether used for good or ill, free political speech is a functional necessity of any democracy. (Necessary but not sufficient and all that.)

> in a way censorship might be already happening. In this case non-arousing messages are being suppressed

Agreed, but it's a separate issue and I've no idea what anyone is actually supposed to do about it.

I didn't mean using the acronym adjectivally, that would be ridiculous as your examples show ;) When expanding the examples and using the acronym as a noun you can indeed use both forms:

Taxol gains quick approval of FDA.

Taxol gains quick approval of the FDA.

Or others: FDA has approved... vs. The FDA has approved...

To most lay persons, omitting "the" will look a bit weird.

Now the interesting part is that NASA has become a proper noun (probably because it is an acronym that can be pronounced). No one will say "I work at the NASA". With FDA you will see people use both forms, even though the final A in both NASA and FDA stands for Administration. I'm not sure about other government organizations. I don't think anyone says "I work at CIA" or FBI for that matter.
The way this technique works is not a standard film photographic exposure, the paper responds very differently in this process to normal processes. In effect what you have is the Sun burning a line onto the paper. This actually means that you don’t need to develop or fix the paper afterwards either. However, the final print does not last very long - the paper is still light sensitive when you take it out of the can so you need to scan it rapidly, in a dark room.

Here's a quote from the Solarcan (a premade product that uses the same principle) instructions:

> Inside the Solarcan is a single sheet of light sensitive photographic paper. Once exposed to light a chemical reaction happens to the emulsion and it begins to change colour. Traditionally photographic paper captures a latent image that is not visible to the naked eye and requires chemical processing, however with a Solarcan the light from the Sun is so powerful that as it passes across the paper it darkens visibly and no chemicals will be required to ‘develop’ the image.

Why I Wrote “The Crucible” (1996)
Not good, just “good enough”.

UX, like evolution, once it goes down one particular path, tends to get stuck there, fiddling with the details at best. Radical innovation becomes really hard to effect: in evolution’s case because any new feature can only extend/adapt what is already there; in UI’s case because users tend to reject anything that doesn’t fit into what they already know.

It’s the distinction between stability and stagnancy. Stability is good in that it’s predictable; its benefit vs cost ratio is known. Stagnancy is not so hot: that ratio cannot (or will not) improve. WIMP is both stable and stagnant; trapped by its own early success with no obvious path forward.

.

Very relevant: after an early 8-bit dalliance I cut my adult teeth on Macs. Some of WIMP’s productivity gains were significant, but in other aspects it was just the same (or more!) drudge work in a cutsier skin. it wasn’t until I taught myself automation (via frustration and AppleScript) that I really put a decent dent in the latter.

And these were automations that built on my existing understanding of WIMP applications (unlike, say, the nix CLI which ignores all that knowledge and invents a whole new unrelated world entirely from scratch). All the Models were exactly the same; all my knowledge of how to manipulate my data in those apps was fully transferrable, not to mention all my existing documents. The only difference was the View-Controller I was using: RPC vs GUI. And whenever I got to a point in my workflow where it was easier/necessary to do something manually, I could freely switch back and forth between those two UIs.

Achieving 10x productivity gains over WIMP on frequent repetitive tasks is embarrassingly trivial* with even modest automations. The hard part is creating an automation UX that’s efficient and accessible to the large majority of less/non-technical users (AppleScript failed, but at least it tried).

.

When will we see another attempt? Dog knows. Voice tech like Siri is obviously trying, but is starting from the hardest end of the problem and trying to work back from there.

I believe there’s much quicker, easier pickings to be had by revisiting the AppleScript strategy—“server” applications exposing multiple View-Controllers for different interaction modes, and a really simple, textual “client” command language along the lines of Papert’s Logo (which 8 year-olds could learn how to use and compose), combined with modern auto-suggest, auto-correct, auto-complete to provide the transparency and discoverability that traditional CLIs fail so hard at.

The written word has 10,000 years of learning and practice behind it. And the most powerful word in the world is the word that expresses exactly what you want to say, whenever you want to say it. If that’s not an opportunity for some smart young coders with a desire to make a better world for all, I don’t know what is. You just gotta know history is all.

"Democracy and free speech are intrinsically linked."

Yes, really, because an important part of the democratic process is that the opposition can express their ideas, criticism and disagreement without fearing fines or prison.

Yes, in the UK, this verbal playing field is narrower than in the US, but still fairly wide. Corbynistas could advocate for nationalization and open borders without being jumped on by uniformed thugs.

Look to places like Russia and Turkey to see a severely constricted field, with the opposition risking their freedom by doubting the Dear Leader.
