If they are being used, there is a market for them and they will be sold new as well. There isn't a big gap between something that needs to be serviced being used and something being sold.

Still use it. Still love it.

Just last month I decided to toss a quite arbitrary `=>` in my javascript (I still write `function (args) { code }`), and shipped it. Immediately got a _TON_ of user complaints.

Turns out, we sent a link in a newsletter, and most folks were reading those in Outlook, and that evidently just opens links internally, and that is still IE11. We don't ordinarily support IE11, but given that this is a specific info page shown there, for this we make an exception, and... => doesn't even work there.

Thus, another year goes by, and another year where I am 100% convinced it is totally not worth my time or effort to investigate newer options.

I'm honestly confused about why jQuery is considered 'bad'.

It's a dependency - yeah, 30k or so. This complaint (that it adds load time) boggles my mind; in this day and age of 10MB+ load pages, and the choice is to complain about a 30k library? Some javascript-library variant of the Total Perspective Vortex may be warranted to try to make sense of this.

A more interactive (as in, between server and browser), more stateful integrated model? Oh, yeah, totally, I can see that, but that 'formula' surely isn't the go-to strategy for every web page out there, right? Most of the pages I write work perfectly well via a 'server generates data, server throws it through a template and sends it to browser, client downloads jquery and some javascript for that page which adds interactive elements', and wouldn't be any 'nicer' if it was a much more javascript-native fully state-shared amalgamation. When I do need that live-updating stateful interaction model, sure, don't need jQuery. But that 30k is the least of my worries if that happens.
I agree completely. Now the only way to "reply" to a review is to leave another review which adds something that shouldn't be a review to the reviews making reviews even more worthless.

As much as it's funny, this is a false analogy. Horses don't travel as fast as cars, or as far. They also can't pull/carry as much as a car, let alone a truck. How many horses are needed to carry the same load as one 18 wheeler?

Would Amazon be possible without trucks? How about Walmart?

The disks are spinning all the time, and most disks are seeing fairly frequent reads to some content or another. A lot of content is very rarely accesses, but almost every disk has some content which gets accessed. If spinning disks had only frequently-accessed content, they would be unable to keep up with the read rate or read throughput, things balance out reasonably on average.

Wayback content is on the same disks as most other content, in the form of WARC files, with individual records fetched out of the middle of WARC files via HTTP range request.

Learned a lot from this and related pages, thanks a lot.

It is one of the best hack I've ever seen, ever. Although as others have pointed out I wouldn't consider it exactly elegant (IIUC basically shell script to morph it on first run on nix); Nor exactly ground breaking with the fat-binary-like concept, if you don't use platform specific libraries or calls anyway, cross compile works just fine? What's the use case here? I mean for platforms where performance or size overhead of vm-based languages is a problem, you probably don't want it to include extra code for other platforms anyway?

OTOH Blinkenlights looks really nice tho. I've see a dude live hand editing code page 417 with notepad.exe to change a jmp so it doesn't look for a CD with my own eyes ;)

Always admire hackers of this rank. I think Blinkenlights could help me achieve something similar someday if I allocate bandwidth to it, would spend lots of time to play with it.
I think the author made these available for free in the past but now they are paywalled. (Nothing wrong with that at all, just thought it would help others trying to find the download on the site.)
Paper systems don't have to be "100% paper". All you need is the metadata from your notes. You can give each note a number and then add that number plus a couple tags and a short description to a spreadsheet. Alternatively, you can take a picture of the note and add that to your digital system. It's not how I currently do things, but it's infinitely better than a primitive digital system where you take notes and never touch them again.
Yeah, but redux etc gained traction with React, and together they make SPAs good.
Imagine you go to a foreign country and point at something you like. To your surprise, this is a deeply offensive gesture to the locals and they get upset.

Rather than apologizing for doing something unintentionally, you take the position that you didn't know, so you can't be held accountable for it. How do you imagine they're going to respond?

And secondly, I just don't really believe you. I don't believe you would feel comfortable saying the n-word around several black people you don't know and using it generically without feel acutely aware that you've likely put yourself in a very socially uncomfortable situation.
I'm wondering how much of this can be implemented as a simple CLI tool that rebuilds a document graph by looking into a directory full of Markdown or Org notes. Ripgrep is certainly fast enough to perform search like that, without any index. That's how some Zettelkasten-like addons perform search on top of an Org directory.
Firefox and Safari use partitioned caches, and Chrome is following with the feature behind an experiment flag for now. The argument that it's probably cached from a CDN is just about dead.

AFAIK unsetting the variables first works too.
Just to clarify, things can be proven false, they just can't be proven true. That's why we speak of a good scientific theory being falsifiable - there must be a way to show it's not true.

The Scientific Method then becomes a process of incremental refinement. Newton's theory of gravity didn't become "wrong" just because Einstein's theory was more accurate - heck we still teach, and use, Newton's theory to this day in both high school and college. It's useful. We just know that all bets are off when velocities approaching the speed of light are involved. Turns out that's not usually the case in everyday situations. We suspect that Einstein's theory may not be the last word on gravity either - but the cases where the theory breaks down are getting more and more extreme. It's not like apples are going to start falling up from trees because we changed our theory!

That's part of it. The "losers" with rent control are newcomers who may have a harder time finding housing, and some landlords. They're kind of anonymous. But turn up to a public hearing on building some new housing, and the people there to yell about it are your neighbors, ordinary people who "got theirs".

I have a lot of complicated feelings about this—3 of the 6 books are ones that I love, and have happily read to my children. On the other ... not really a surprise. Racist caricatures abound in older books written for children, and I'm glad that we are now more respectful in how we treat people from other cultures.
Nice, I just want you to keep going in that line of thought and be consistent everywhere. Fingers crossed.

> It'll scale because it's self-hosted. You don't serve everyone with the same app instance; everyone runs their own instance.

So everyone has their own free hosting account with repl.it and runs an app instance on it? Yes, technically that's "free" as in "no cost", but it's not "free" as in "no effort". The latter is the kind of "free" that Facebook users expect.
Yup, that's the core of it. The future has no constituency. The past has.
I write a lot of B2B apps that have tabular data views. For all of its quirks, DataTables (https://datatables.net) does a great job and with the right plugins offers all the features my customers expect (re-ordering/resizing columns, column based search, fixed headers, fixed columns, item selection, etc.) DataTables requires jQuery.

Lots of other vanilla JS table plugins out there but I can't find one with all of those features that work when they are all on.
I think the point from GP (which aligns with my thinking) is that more programmatic interfaces for querying data allow for control flow in constructing the query, not just in processing it. So you can conditionally add a predicate or whatever, and then run the whole query at once.

Whereas with the SQL packages you mentioned, you either have to conditionally construct your query string (ew) or pull results back and express your conditional as operations on the resulting data frame.

For pure dplyr-on-in-memory-data-frame there isn't much difference between the two, to be sure. For dplyr on dbplyr, or sparklyr, or for SparkR, or PySpark, or Dask, or pick-your-favorite-framework, the difference between operating on (effectively) query AST vs. result sets is huge.
given how much HN hates bitcoin, it's curious that anyone would assume anti-bitcoin boilerplate would get downvoted here
Agreed. I typically strip every feature possible out of my phone (and run in low power mode) and gravitate towards apps/products that just get out of my way.

When I built my blog, I tried to find every opportunity to reduce cruft (even stripping out extra CSS classes) so reading it would feel as close to a native app as possible.

You could argue that HN succeeded because it's focused on speed above all else.

> it feels like we need the short term, crisis relief that rent control provides.

These programs have a remarkable way of being sticky over time. For example, New York's current rent stabilization program has its origins in a World War 2 era program which never died (first a federal program, then taken over by the state).

Solution: Build more and build it higher. If you are looking for a different kind of short-time-horizon solution for the mom and her kids who are in a precarious situation due to housing costs, give them cash assistance! But in the long run give them more options and lower prices. There is no reason we cannot do both.
I’m sure people use their phones to look at ecchi pictures all the time.
This is accidentally a good analogy.

Because yes, cars have made the world materially worse, not because horses are better, but because dense urban development, public transit, walking, and cycling is better.

Cars are enormously wasteful, much like bitcoin is, not only because it uses way more energy than is necessary for the task it is performing (~90% of the energy used by cars is spent to move the car, not the cargo or people), but also because it takes up space that could be used for more useful things: the average American city has 8 parking spaces per car, that means that each car on the road represents an entire ~1600sqft house that can't be built because a car needs places to park.

Hitler wasn't the only Nazi. Some socialists, like Gregor Strasser, weren't merely supporters, they were full members and even leaders of the Nazi party.

Their brand of Nazism survives to this day:

So I don't think it's accurate to say "the Nazi's themselves were not socialists", as if none of them were.
The problem is that just about everything breaks the API. I have had situations where obscure bug fixes break my app because I was depending on the behaviour of that bug.

The quote was from the article. Regardless, I’m not fully aware of the applicable laws here.

But, I would hope that consent to be filmed/photographed and consent to have said content distributed should always be two very different things. Further, just like other forms of art, the latter should always be retractable. One can write a book and have it published and distributed, but also cancel/fulfill the contract to prevent further distribution. I think this is even more relevant for private content such as sex-tapes, which are not the same as commercial pornography.
That the output is (or can be, with the right settings, anyway) very reasonable looking JS that would be easy to navigate and work on for anyone who'd been working on the same project in TS is a huge selling point. It's a nearly-instant, high-quality escape hatch if you decide you hate TypeScript, even if you're deeply into your project and have a ton of TS code already written. It's why comparisons to things like CoffeeScript don't hold up well, and (part of) why it's easier to sell to technical management than something like PureScript. Switching from TS to JS is very low-cost.

It's not just that the output is well-formed and sensible JS, it's that it's structured so similarly to the TS. With a recent EcmaScript version as your output, it's practically just the TypeScript with the type-related keywords & blocks stripped out.

As much as it could provide more and better features by breaking that guarantee, I think it's a brilliant decision & guideline, at least until WebAssembly is far more mature and the space starts to open up.
That was definitely the case before ES2015. I think many of the non-JS devs that still hugely wish they could write something other than JS for the browser haven't kept up with ES2015+ nor Typescript. ES2015 is a much improved language and vanilla JS isn't painful anymore, especially with type="module" support now green enough in caniuse statistics that we can finally kill AMD and CommonJS for good in greenfield vanilla JS projects. The sky is quite sunny and ES2015+ is a better language than a lot of non-JS devs think JS is.

It will still be a while before all the brownfields in the larger ecosystem get cleaned up (if some of them ever do), but that's no longer a language problem, that's a a long tail ecosystem problem.
