The answer is because it’s a pretty narrow market. Anyone wanting good quality has purchased a camera (or has one), external mic, and cobbled it together themselves.

Or they buy a laptop with a decent camera and add a mic.

So your market is the niche between those groups, and those who make do with their laptop.

Not a large enough opportunity to pursue, I don’t think.
I agree in principle, but you wouldn't expect court documents in particular to exist for a new piece of legislation though. In this case we would want the proposed revision to the federal code.
Good idea actually, I’m using 2 PCs with one monitor over USB-c. The monitor takes more than 10 key presses through a horrific on screen menu to change input sources. I didn’t even think of swapping the cable!
In my experience Spotify's recommendations for my big anything-goes playlist are terrible, but the one's for my smaller playlist for mostly British D&B music (https://open.spotify.com/track/22Z4p2gRkDPqmw8DgVixML?si=jeb... - for a taste of the genre) can give very specific and quite good recommendations of smaller artists.

I didn't mean "bubble popping" in the sense of crumbling an economy, I meant in these circles of investments. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'm pretty sure they are not the only ones, this probably has a long tail of companies doing this.

Edit: but this could be a sign that a lot of these "gamble-like" investments could be taking place... and might be a symptom of something bigger.
New Solar Cell Achieves 30% Efficiency
Those interfering sources cost on the order of $10, the, uh, "mechanisms of silencing them" probably cost a couple orders of magnitude more, and the aircraft that could be brought down (such as the C130 in the article) cost on the order of $100M.

It's a highly asymmetric problem.

Also, bombing every cell phone within a few miles of your airport is likely to have some undesired side effects...

Edit: A commenter further down mentioned the AGM-88 HARM, which is a $280k missile. That's significantly more expensive than my estimate of a couple orders of magnitude for a 'dumb' missile from a helicopter.

I can confirm that either of the thunderbolt ports on the back of that dock can connect to a host machine. With mine, I connect a modern thunderbolt-3 mac and and older mac one with thunderbolt 2.

Android does have an app for Apple Music though it's been years since I've used it. I was quite happy to pay the subscription fee but an update broke the whole app for me. It would play only a part of the song and then suddenly skip to the next one.

My music taste also diverges drastically but Apple seemed to handle it quite well IIRC.

I wish there was a way to democratize direct access to the exchanges and their APIs. As it is, it's really an insider's club.
The problem is that most CSS properties are contextual. They'll work one way in a certain hierarchy, and a different way in another. I've had issues where items would suddenly appear in REVERSED order if I changed the width of the container object (which would be fine if there were a CSS property "component-alignment: reversed", but there isn't). There are no enforced types. You can assign any value to any property name, even though invalid names will do nothing (and so typos cause hours of lost time). Some properties won't do anything unless they're done in conjunction with other properties, but you have no way of knowing that because there's no debug feedback mechanism. Even worse: some properties do nothing unless the SURROUNDING object has certain properties set to certain values. That's INSANE.

There's very little logic, but much lore and arcane incantations to CSS, which is what makes it a bad system (much like the crotchety systems in the bad old UNIX engineer days of "if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand").

I've worked with a number of UI systems, and the best ones are ALWAYS component based, where component properties ALWAYS behave the same way internally, and where you can COMBINE them into more powerful components. This is not what happens with CSS. Basic things like alignment, size, borders, padding, margins all behave in weird ways depending on the context, or the presence or absence of text, or rely on similar sounding but subtly different properties that only work in certain contexts and not others, with no debug information to tell you why it's not affecting anything. That's not cool. If someone were to invent a programming language that behaved this way today, they'd be laughed out of the room.
Obviously there are not enough academic archaeologists to dig up the stuff, not even a small fraction probably, considering how much time passed and how much dirt there is to sift through. Plus the vast majority of the found stuff has little historical significance. Finding Roman coins and medieval metal tools should not be equated with finding an Egyptian tomb. Their value is pretty much as collector items. They are sold on eBay.

> the ETH is on the USB hub and corrupts Ethernet frame

I have a USB-C Novoo thingy (PD passthrough, HDMI, 3x USB-A, Ethernet) that might do something like that. If I plug Ethernet into my home router it ends up killing all other ethernet links on this router in about two minutes. I unplug it and things come back to life in under a second.

The thing also has a habit to produce EM interference that makes WiFi useless. Would you believe, running a ping and wrapping the device's cord in tin foil back and forth and you can see the packet stop dropping and start again.

Crazy.

Blocking Drift Chatbots (those annoying things that change Title in browser windows, make noise, obstruct page content)
Recently wasted a morning at the office swapping all variants of Dell thunderbolt and USB-c docks, kept getting weird USB errors. Most frustrating was I couldn't reproduce the error at the helpdesk with same dock. The weirdest thing was usb peripherals were working fine, but somehow Windows kept giving me a non suppressable popup every minute ad infinitum. I don't see the point of docking stations anymore now you can get 49" screens with USB-c connectors. No reason to put a docking station in between or dual screen setups anymore

I see. I assumed that order flow implied something about timing (i.e. we send these orders to this broker who executes the order in an untimely fashion causing an inferior execution price).
I've got the polar opposite opinion to yours. Spotify has been God's gift to mankind as far as my experience goes. I'll get the negative out of the way first: their UI teams loves to keep tweaking stuff, which is annoying. It's a stable app and they should leave it alone.

Having said that, it's wonderful. I can download all my music. It has some truly wonderful playlists for when I'm coding. It's recommendation engine seems to recommend really nice tunes week after week. The yearly reviews, the On Repeat etc. all this stuff is really nice to look back at.

Then, I FINALLY have a podcast search which can search for podcast episodes and then, when I click on the search result, take me to tho god-damned episode instead of the full podcast with 2500 fucking episodes to hunt through. It actually has a sane podcast interface that isn't a cluttered mess.

I was so sceptical of it because I loved Pandora to the absolute hilt, but now it's the only Saas I pay monthly for.
Excellent data mining strategy.
> unless you're doing a lot of math - where python/numpy/sklearn/scipy/BLAS/LAPACK/Tensorflow is unparalleled - you should do everything in JS/TS

In my opinion, JS development is unpleasant because of the many, many inconsistencies and corner cases that must be accounted for when writing code, the dumpster fire that is the npm ecosystem, and the lack of established frameworks like Django. Things like TypeScript make writing code less painful, but I only use JS when I have to (i.e. I need something to execute in a browser).

> something like nextjs - with built in frontend+backend is ideal.

This is completely subjective, and I would disagree.
And they removed most of your opportunities to steer recommendation. There should be a like/dislike band/song at every point in all UIs for paid users; there used to be but it was taken away from most places on most UIs. The community forum has thousands of votes on this matter and Spotify ignores it.

I suspect recommendation is more steered by contract agreements than showing you new bands you might like.
I have this problem too. It's stuff I've watched or it's stuff I've scrolled past uninterested in a dozen times. Basically the only time I casually find something I want to watch is when a subscription uploads new content

Technically it's not a metric for one-of rendering, but memory leaks by an open browser tab have bugged me a bit lately.

Why It’s Hard to Form Good Habits
What do you mean by "inability to chunk React"?

I've done as you describe, separate Django views have different client components and those components import subcomponents which are shared as needed, throughout the site. I just have the webpack build each "root" client component individually, and you can separate subcomponents into libraries.

You can even have multiple react apps rendered into their own containers that do not share state as long as you separated them cleanly.
The problem with this service is that most times, I don't chose what I listen to. Spotify does.

I play music all day while working and I'd love to listen to more artists but most times, I'm stuck in the routine between my Release Radar on Fridays, Discovery Weekly on Monday, and Daily Mixes during the rest of the week. I add songs I like to a variety of personal playlists and sometimes I start a "Song Radio" for a song I like. But even then, I just end up getting the same songs Spotify seems to think I liked only because they've already played them to me over and over. Part of me wonders if their algorithm favours songs that costs them less in royalties...

Playlists made by real people seem way better than any Spotify playlist, but they are difficult to discover. I'd love a feature that recommends me playlists from people that share my music tastes. One example, is a playlist called "Sexy Bath" by Nicoleta Tataru.

It looks like the API is overloaded.

With regards to taste, you usually need to find a suitable gateway into an unpopular genre to begin appreciating it. I always hated jazz until I turned 30, when I heard the melodic jazz of Avishai Cohen [1] and Phronesis [2], which led me to Eric Dolphy [3] and ultimately to free jazz outfits like Alexander von Schlippenbach and Peter Brotzmann. Having grown bored of everything else also helps.

I recently cancelled my paid subscription to Spotify after 10 years and I use Youtube a lot now. The Spotify web app is not great and Youtube recommendations are a lot better in my opinion.

> union when he is a top earner compared to great majority of people in the same country

Why does that make creating a union/engineer council less desirable? It seems good to have a democratically elected representative of Google engineers who can talk to management, even if those engineers don't feel like negotiating on wage stuff, they still have a real avenue to air concerns.
fwiw there's almost nothing on the dom in this article.

I'm quite tired of the hot air pointless uneducated uninformed web bashing. I don't know why the web attracts such angry angry people but for all the complaining the grandparent post is about as real of a counter-idea to the dom as I have ever seen.

what we do with the web is often bad. fully agreed there are terrible experiences everywhere. but starting fresh, starting with different source materials, different rendering data structures: I don't think that targets at all what is wrong. so I just see such complaining as misdirected, complaints against a pop culture that instead focus on the tech that allows that pop culture. and I see it as sabotaging the best tech humanity has going, the freest most expressive most versatile data we've got that we often yes use quite poorly. but that we do get better at. that we continue to evolve our architectures of use around. and I see such grumbles as undermining this great thing, while supporting something limited & domineering & utterly in corporate control, something apart from the greater connected cyberspace: native (awful) apps.
I think it's just another inconsistency:
`git --help branch` gives the long help for `git branch`, but `git -h branch` says "unknown option: -h".

I’ve read enough of HN comments over the years and been in the industry even longer to know not to assume good faith. Sorry. Like I said, someone else flagged the comment, not me.

As a simple example when Kobe Bryant died there were numerous comments on the post saying “Why is this here? This shouldn’t be on Hacker News.” (Even though he was an angel investor). Yet when some random (to me) soccer player died a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t see a single “This doesn’t belong on Hacker News” comment. I looked for them. I also looked up the soccer player to find anything he did remotely related to HN. There was none.

It’s ok to accept that racist and sexist people exist, even on sites like Hacker News. After all, this is just Reddit, right?

Maybe his comment was just so wacky that it made me think this. Is there an article or something that references researchers thinking if statements are racist? Is this like an in-joke at a certain company? I just don’t get it.

What I do get is that lots of people will go out of their way to defend the writer of a _flagged_ comment.
Yes. I have large portions of a server-rendered, django web application that uses react largely as you've described.

I wanted to bring a single react app into the django project using a root dom element from a django template using the same template inheritance as the rest of the site. (common navbar)

Benefits of this approach on Django side were adherence to Django structure and session-based auth for the react app's API calls.

My goal was to minimize customization while retaining the "spirit" of both Django and react.

I decided the react app should flow from an unejected Create React App (CRA) project. This provides the developer experience of CRA's development environment hot-reload and production build bundling.

It also makes it more likely the react app can be migrated to new versions of CRA.

The webpack config changes needed to pull this off are not extensive but do leverage Create React App Configuration Override (CRACO). [1] CRACO is the best-supported config layer for CRA today, supporting CRA 4.*.

Key aspects of my implementation are:

- Use of package.json poststart to move files generated by CRA's run script and update paths made by CRA-generated files to work inside django.
- Use of the package.json postbuild script to move and rename files to nestle assets into their proper place in a django static path.
- Customization of HtmlWebpackPlugin to modify CRA's:
- Out-of-box behavior of webpack bodyTags and headTags.
- webpackConfig.output to use a project-excluded directory that facilitates hot reload during dev

While my implementation doesn't currently support N react apps bundles at this time I could see it being done provided they share a single package file.

Being relatively new to modern web front end toolchains I ended up rewriting much of the of the user documentation for CRACO as part of my learning process for this mash of Django and React. [2]

I have not released my solution but I have stubbed out the problem and solution description [3].

If someone is very much in need of this project, please write me. I have wanted to release it but have just not had time yet, and I need to update it to CRA 4.

All this said and done, having accomplished my initial goals, I am less certain now that it is worth trying to integrate a CRA-app into Django, at least if the goal is to retain shared sub templates from the rest of the Django app.

Instead, I suspect the better method would be to expect to have to maintain a react-compatible implementation of say a navbar or other "common" portion of the UI on the server-rendered pages and leverage only django's session auth on the SPA.

Ultimately, this integration experience made me take a hard look at my investment in Django. I know and enjoy python and the Django framework. But at least for new projects, I can't help but feel they faces an existential threat from modern web (react) paired with a node backend.

> Tough maybe there's one small issue: your personal data (date of birth, home address, real name etc.

Why would you think that?

If a site has no need for my date of birth, but demands one anyway, it gets a fake date.

If a site has no need for address, but demands it anyway (other than for shopping sites obviously), it too gets fake data.

Same with real name. If it has no need (i.e. it is just some account to 'read comments' or some such) then that is fake as well.

Just because a site asks for datapoint X, does not mean you have to turn over datapoint X to the site.

> I mean don't you mind a potential data breach?

All of the data points you reference (date of birth, home address, real name) are all essentially public information, so, no. And for sites that received fake data, no, don't care in the least there.

I have a similar experience, the mac client has been pretty broken for me in the last few months, it refuses to play about half of all tracks among other things. And opening of links to tracks has been semi-broken for years.

They have over 1k employees, surely many of them experience the same easily fixable flaws? My fav theory is, once a company becomes successful and big enough, noone wants to own problems, everyone wants to be part of new exciting projects with a purely positive outlook. And if business is going well, upper management has no reason nor (informal) mandate to get tough and make strong demands.
