What do you mean with "check the backend"? You can e.g. do assertions on HTTP-responses coming from the backend - is this what you head in mind?

If you want to test the backend on its own, I personally would recommend using a different framework than cypress (or a different framework than the one being used for frontend e2e testing in general). Otherwise you risk that people conflate these two things and start "testing the backend" in e2e-tests for the frontend, which are super slow.
Will they remove also allegations of Russia tampering 2016 elections?

When Trump got elected the idea of an election being rigged was acceptable.

Thank you Google for telling us what to think.
I don't know if there are examples of regular people going after those monsters (I don't think Visa/Mastercard are even afraid of this) for this or other reasons.

The thing is that any legal action can be used as political lever. As a business you don't want to be in a position where you have to give excuses or negotiate. Hypothetically, the EU or some crazy US senator can say Visa is endorsing CP (even if it's not 100% true, but is good for the senator or EU parliamentary image), that they will engage in a full investigation and there is a possibility of facing sanctions. Now Visa has to activate a PR and legal campaign that can last years.

It's better to just cut off that single website from the customer list.
We had meetup scheduled in March for a dozen people scattered across the US and Europe. Location was Charlottesville, Virginia. (Sadly, we decided to cancel it.)

We decided it made more sense to prioritise “getting there near the same time” over “cheapest possible”.

Everyone made their own travel arrangements. By picking a central location, it ended up easier / cheaper for some and more complicated / expensive for others. On pound/euro/dollar-cost-average it was fine. (Company paid.)

But that was under old-normal travel logic. In the new normal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rust is indeed starting to enter the territory where features are added on top of features as a way to deal with that there were too many restrictions at the start.

It is starting to become a pain to me, but I'm glad that apparently there is some semblance of h.k.t.'s now, which was very much wanted.
I'm more shocked that the author managed to get a diagnosis on the NHS at the age of 42. In my experience, the NHS won't refer you to a psychologist unless you're on the brink of suicide or complete mental breakdown. It's incredibly tough to get mental help in this country.
How this gets to the front page and other relevant things get diluted amazes me every time in HN!
> The strategic disadvantage is that as windows users move to M1 based macs, sales of PC hardware will drop, since the PC ecosystem is hobbled by a lack of deep integration, lower performance CPU's, lower profit margins, less R&D, etc. If volumes of sales drop too, it could trigger a cascade effect (fewer sales causes less R&D causes less desirable products causes fewer sales). That could kill consumer PC's entirely, which would be very bad for the future of Windows.

For this to happen Apple would have to fill in MANY, MANY niches, especially cheaper ones. Apple does not and will not fill those. Well, "never say never", but I don't expect them to sell a $400 laptop, all accessories included (so no sneaky $400 laptop with semi-mandatory accessories which bring the price to $700).
So build more housing
Why the negative perception?

There's indeed not enough housing supply to meet the total demand. There are various reasons for that, but that's the ground state. What AirBnB does is add to this an incentive for existing supply to further shift from serving city residents to serving tourists. Since housing supply isn't limited by low demand but by external and difficult to change factors, what AirBnB does is just making a bad situation much worse for cities worldwide.
One may infer which Americans are shoplifting by noting the geographic distribution of urban food deserts and the surrounding gradient of obstructive retail security.

Food insecurity implies potential for violence, and urban food deserts are practically unprecedented. One may call it a unique American achievement in urban planning.

This promises interesting times when just-in-time delivery inevitably arrives a day late and a dollar short.

Just kidding, the USD is the first forever currency of the USG, the first forever empire. What's the worst that could happen?

Cities such as Baltimore and Detroit have already seen the process play out. It makes for interesting reading, from a safe distance.

Like a slow-motion forest fire, as the conflagration spreads outwards, new growth sprouts defiantly from the charred center. I wouldn't call it a natural process, but it resembles one.

Do the inner cities of other countries lie in ruins for decades, or is that an American thing?
4 hours seems like a lot. Do you still have to commute, even amid the pandemic situation?
The ARM platform is currently massively held back IMO by its lack for standardization. I think there is tremendous value hidden behind a company that achieves a push for consistency. Microsoft has invested tens if not hundreds of thousands of man years in this, so who would be better qualified for this than them.

RISC-V is kinda in a similar situation as ARM. If I were Microsoft, I'd be investing hard into the RISC-V platform as it still has tremendous growth left.

I tend to imagine that year-2005 Google search is a tutorial-level web app today. Was Google search 15 years ago really bad by today's standards?

With my biases, I remember that Google search was pretty good by 2005 (and much more predictable and configurable than nowadays). Why is there almost no competition and innovation in this space, apart from rebranding Bing search as Duck Duck Go?
Like others in here you included "open source" in your phrasing, in a way that sounds to me as if Cypress wouldn't be open source. But it's rather MIT licensed, unless I've been fooled.

Following that up with a question, what's their business model, consulting? I didn't immediately find any upsells on their website.

Edit: finally found the pricing page, to but the core is still open source then?
>"since the PC ecosystem is hobbled by a lack of deep integration, lower performance CPU's, lower profit margins, less R&D"

1) Deep integration with what? I do not feel that I am missing anything. So far can do anything I want.

2) What low performance? Depending on money spent desktops and laptops perform just fine. M1 is a good chip but new AMD is faster on single core and on multiple cores it will wipe the floor with M1. So far M1 is more power efficient. I am pretty sure given time AMD/Intel will catch up to that if there is good ROI on that particular quality.
This one is excellent! I'm going to save it and re-read it regularly

So this new solid state battery from Toyota will still use lithium.

I guess it’s not common knowledge that lithium-ion is not a solid state battery. But rather, it is a liquid solution.

Could you not still reasonably use a tool like Cypress to test a Frontend, even while the backend is mocked based on contracts (e.g. using WireMock)?
I have encountered the same problem with the tunnelbana in Stockholm. Normally I use a card, but on a few occasions I have left it at home or forgotten to top it up, and bought a ticket with the app.

When it wasn't scanning and I took my phone off the scanner, I briefly glimpsed the Apple Pay screen before it animated away, so I realised I was "holding it wrong", and was able to get it to scan by holding it at a different angle to keep the NFC sensor at the top of the phone away from reader, but I can imagine a less technically minded user than myself might have serious problems.

I don't know anything about the scanner or NFC standards used by this system, sorry.
TLDR : the ship capsized and caught fire. All crew members were rescued safe. Currently no idea on what caused this. Being investigated.

The neurodiversity argument always seems to me a misguided one. It argues that these neurological identities/configurations are not inherent problems but just differences which are only made to have negative effects on the person's life by societal preconception and bigotry. Those things do make it much worse and need to change, but I would argue that doesn't stop these brain-states from being independently troublesome. The author mentions problems with speech processing, speaking, sensory overload, sleeping, getting out of bed, eating, smells, textures, and navigation. None of those problems were created by society and none of them can be fixed by the neurodiversity paradigm.
The core problem is the same as with Uber: they are playing on a field where other players have to play by strict rules (just think about what regulations apply to a hotel, for example), but they do not.

In other words, it all started as an opportunity for private people sharing their rooms, now there are more and more businesses operating in this space, reaping all the benefits, but giving nothing back in return, paying no taxes, ignoring all safety measures etc. Give people the opportunity to abuse the system, and abuse they will.

Local rental prices skyrocketing is one side-effect, destroying the neighbourhood is another.

There are positives too, like I now have the opportunity to easily rent a room or flat with a kitchen so I can cook myself (with various food intolerances/allergies this is important), this would not have been possible - or would have been really expensive - in the pre-airbnb world.

> How many cases of fraud has there been in this election?

I haven't the foggiest idea, I'm not a cop or political-type person.

> There has been 0 evidence of widespread fraud.

What kind of evidence would you expect to see?

> The only possible way any argument could be made in good faith is if you have the naivete of a child. I'm not saying that as a value judgment, but as a matter of fact.

How are you able to attest to that fact?

> I can not prove a negative, other than the absence of evidence of the contrary.

What evidence would you expect to see if YouTube had deleted a good faith video?

> Do you have any examples of good faith actors being silenced that we can discuss the merits of?

No because I'm not even sure how one would attest to the "good faith" of a video that is no longer on YouTube. Thats why I'm so puzzled at the certainty exhibited by people who seem determined that these videos and ideas are so dangerous that they should be suppressed. What kind of experiences and evidence would make someone so confident that they were right and they hadn't merely been misinformed?

> Yes, but I have seen no evidence of this, so I reserve that hypothetical for when it happens.

Wouldn't you want to have some evidence in support of your statement before you make sweeping claims? I'm trying to see how you can reconcile the part where you think these other people are bad because they make statements about reality without evidence, but you're fine with making statements about reality yourself without evidence.
Oscar Wilde said: "Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul". My reaction when I start feeling similar situation is to jump in real physical new situation (new sports, new outdoor exploration, DIY new manual project and similar). The key concept is take a break from intellectual and abstract things and dedicate to new physical and concrete ones.

Some of the perf gains on the M1 are due to hardware support for TSO (total store ordering), which doesn't exist on the latest/highest-end Qualcomm chip, hence the Windows support needs to insert many more barriers to emulate TSO. This likely has a significant impact on emulated performance.

At least the x86 (32-bit) emulation relied entirely on JIT compiling its emulated code, instead of doing anything AOT. _However_, it cached the JIT'd code so in practice it was a first-run cost, similar to the situation on macOS.

Where's the threshold? For thousands of years humans just hunted and gathered. They used primitive tools. I would argue that ants had more sophisticated behavior at that time.
That doesn't follow in the the general case though.

You can be disabled and sometimes force yourself to do things without accomodations via willpower, but it may have consequences for your mental/physical health and shouldn't be expected of anyone.

I hope that new normal will be replaced by newer normal in second half 2021. I'm really looking forward to get the team together for a few days. I'm just thinking now about a best economical way to do it twice a year instead of what we did before - once a year. It can even be fluid time-wise.
Laser Perforating and Cutting for Footwear
The laser cutter can create personalized and high-quality footwear by laser cutting and laser perforating. Today I will show you how laser cut leather shoes.
The laser can cut holes on the leather to increase aesthetics and breathability, and accurately cut this contour. Then we can achieve leather shoes with clean edges, smooth incision, and personalized customization. Besides leather shoes, laser cutter can process a variety of leather products and accessories, like insoles, footwear accessories, shoe vamps....
High degree of automation, no need for molds, saving labor, and materials costs are benefits from laser cutting.

I disagree with your overly strict definition of cyberpunk :)
I'd rather say that Cyberpunk has a focus on what is cool, rather than on "being" cool, with the disitnction that the former definition exploits the inherent coolness of all things cyber, where the latter is much more superficial.

Look at the people and works that founded the genre, they looked at REAL stuff and extrapolated, not because the real stuff was boring, but because it was cool as hell and the future stuff would be even cooler as heller. ;-)

Success in such a setting is not determined entirely by the luminosity of ones hair, the gnarliness of ones implants, but also the deep technical understanding of all the boring stuff, it's so deep, and so understood that one can do it swiftly and make it look both easy and cool. What we get to "see" in cyberpunk novels, movies and games, is mostly an abstraction sice we're not that cool dude or dudette, we don't have that deep deep understanding or those amazing skills, maybe we just lack the right implants, but nevertheless, the author is forced to portray some hybrid between the "concept of what's going on" and what observers would see.

Also, Duskers is a great game.
Ps I'm a Linux user and I'd love to see more native games for my platform of choice, but I also know that there's a reason I can't always have nice things, and I don't blame anyone for that.

Googler here: for those of you who have ever used Firebase this is the language that powers Cloud Firestore / Cloud Storage security rules.

Specifically in our rules everything after the "if" is Common Expression Language.

See:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/rules-co...

The efficiency and safety of CEL enables us to put security rules in the critical path of every database request.
Regarding Google Drive:

I am still using it, because I think that Google services are generally highly secure (in terms of theft/hacks/breaches/etc), although they might not be the safest in terms of encryption.

However, I am using it with Cryptomator[0]. What this tool does it to encrypt your data/files/etc and store them in the chosen cloud. It's quite convenient, if you have several devices. I highly recommend it.

If you want to use Cryptomator, please check if your cloud storage provider supports WebDAV, otherwise not every feature will work, like android or so.

You can also use this idea with something like KeepassXC so that you can have a password manager in the cloud without having to pay.

No, it's blaming AirBnB for making a bad situation much worse. Local governments worldwide may be inept at securing enough housing for people (perhaps because it turns out to be a hard problem), but it's not helpful to sabotage the allocation of whatever housing that was made available.

Actually, this in anecdotal, but i believe most of the cases where ddg lets me down are when the query is VERY specific. More general searches seem to have no diff between google and ddg results.
I think the argument is that users will install Chrome instead of Mozilla, further pushing up Chrome's market share. Even as Mozilla's share increases slightly, the loss in Safari's will lead to a super-super-majority of Chrome and thus developers not caring about any alternative browsers at all.

I think you are partially right with the cynisism. And those companies are chill now because of scandals and making more money. But it is also a creative industry, many of those are hard to begin with. How do you compete with people/companies enjoying working seven days and sleeping in the office, and possibly at higher skill. Creating games can be extremely fun, and it can burn you out in the process. And people take paycuts to join the industry because it is fun. Every new game project is also like a startup because of all these factors.
this is something from early days of the web.
Sure, if it was that simple I believe it would have been solved already. Ignoring the whole political and social aspects of a complex problem is hand-waving a lot, there are different pressures to be considered, different avenues of solutions and even more with housing that is: expensive and has a long turnaround from permit -> completion.

But sure, tell every single young person that the solution for them on the next 5 years is to sit down and demand more housing built. What do people do while that's happening? Allow AirBnB to extract money and rent-seekers to gouge prices for the population?

That's not how the real world works, I'm sorry.
The company Will inform employees a 3-4+ weeks prior to the get together or get-back-to-office date.

More actionable, the choice of colors and their combinations is the key ingredient for cohesive and tight art direction. Pixel art, vector art, low-poly 3D - they all rely more on good colors than on shapes.

It's quite hard to pick each color from color picker wheel and ending up with something decent. Much better approach is to use pre-assembled palettes like ones on lospec.com/palette-list collection. My favorite versatile palette is edg32, but others will work better for certain moods. Working with more than 30-is colors requires experience and patience.

These guidelines can help to build something that catches attention, and assets tend to be simpler and easier to iterate on.
