The problem is that nobody can create anew browser engine because you not only need to implement all the standards you also need to make your browser work with broken html and work in the same way Chrome and Firefox work.

IMO we would need 2 split the document part from the application part. Have a set of elements and a document format just for blogs and news websites , and more complex components and APIs for application websites. Then you could have a browser that would be more simple that will be enough to browse blogs,forums and news sites and a more complex browser for SPA applications.
How do you measure popularity? What does it even mean?

No, for most users there isn’t really a noticeable difference.
> Egypt held a five-mile procession of 22 ancient mummies in Cairo, as they were moved from a museum where they'd been for over a century to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Saturday night.

This is not to be confused with the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is due to open later this year (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Egyptian_Museum). The GEM's opening has been highly anticipated (and delayed) for years. Actually even a lot of my Egyptian friends thought the mummies were being moved to the GEM.
I find it interesting that there were spikes of readings at certain times of day and night. Coupled with the information that the apartments have a VoC barrier, my intuition is that there is a timer somewhere that turns on a fan to clear out the VoC capture space created by the barrier and exhaust the contaminated air to the outside.

If the VoC that's bothering her is heavier than air, it could be being blown upwards from the ground level and then settling back over the building and falling back down and finding its way back into her apartment somehow, like through the range hood, dryer exhaust, plumbing stacks, open windows, or just cracks due to poor craftsmanship.

If she was still at the site, I would recommend looking for what appears to be an exhaust vent of some kind that might be tied to the VOC barrier system and putting a sensor there and seeing if the readings correlate to the timeline of unusual readings in her home
You can read the names of the icons on the tooltip. Not sure if this is intended.
I think you misunderstood that. This setting isn't about privacy of your friends number its about who can find you with your number. For example by brute-forcing numbers.
Whether you upload your address book or not is another story and it does ask if you want to do that. Obvious if you decline and then set to above setting to "my contacts" then no one will be able to find you by your number (which is exactly what I personally want)

There is absolutely no need to upload your address book to make you number unsearchable.
It sure would be cool if this post had a screenshot/screencast of what it looks like to use in practice!
Where are you getting those numbers from?

Based on Figure 2 of this paper the IFR for people 35-39 is between 0.01 and 0.1%. So in 130,000 infected people you would still expect between 13 and 130 to die from covid. And that's ignoring all sorts of other issues, like the amount of people that will need to be hospitalised, long covid, etc.

Feynman in his Nobel lecture described a formulation of classical electrodynamics that did not use electromagnetic waves where charged particles acts directly on each other. He tried to apply that to the quantum case, but eventually gave up.

Still if such formulation is possible than the light that apparently reaches the philosopher from the food is an artifact of a model.
This post could be written better, but a lot of it resonates with me as a solo technical founder who has gone through dozens of failed projects over the last five years.

I do have a strong tendency to start with an interesting concept instead of a concrete problem, but I run into a lot of walls taking the problem-first approach:

- The problem already has a dozen solutions because the SaaS space is at least 10 years old now and hyper competitive, there'a almost no good solution you could come up with that hasn't been built already.

- If all the good or obvious solutions have been tried already, you could try to build something better still. But in my experience I could only come up with marginally better solutions or I would run into intractable technical challenges (intractable for me, at least).

- How do you even find a valuable problem to solve? I tried keeping a list of problems I encountered in my day job for a year and the solutions for almost all of them required skills well outside of my wheel house.

I think this is because, when I try to take a problem-first approach I tend to think about the solution space linearly. This leads to solutions that are obvious to any reasonably smart engineer, but because they're obvious they've been done or are intractable.

That's why I think there is some value in starting with interesting concepts or solutions, because what you're really looking for is a creative solution to a relatively common problem. It seems just as hard to start with a problem and back into a creative solution as it is to start with a creative concept and find a problem you can solve with it.
Just a side note, as I don’t know a thing about olivine, but wouldn’t they be able to pull the material from the waste piles instead of mining new material? I remember this popping up in a discussion about thorium (super abundant in coal mining waste) and that was one of the points brought up

No, they find "firming power" is needed. That could be hydrogen burned in turbines. Firming is not non-intermittent, it's dispatchable

This is literally the reason that people use it. It can disconnect and reconnect to the same session. I have had a tmux session running remotely for over a year and I reconnect with it ever day with all my panes and windows still the way I left them.
What makes you think this is something that criminal law would address? The vast vast majority of these sorts of issues with corporations are handled via civil suits. That even includes wage theft, which is the largest category of theft several times over. Congress and state legislatures have by and large decided (so far) not to criminalize corporate wrongdoing unless it impacts shareholders.
I think they way it works is you value the potential economic activity that could occur there given neighboring economic activity and realistic development options. IE if there's a single family home in the middle of a commercial district where each property has millions of dollars in commerce a month, the property is value is assessed along those lines regardless of the current use. Then the single family owner has to sell because paying taxes on land at that valuation/rate won't make sense, and it gets redeveloped to join the commercial district.

Most software I use wasn’t written from scratch in the last 10 years. It’s new only in that of people are still maintaining it, but I don’t get to decide what features I want it’s an all or nothing buffet.

On a new an powerful computer most of the web is dog slow. There is no reason most websites should take more than 1/10th of a second from click to fully rendered. Anything past that is simply wasting my time.
I don't think this is that decisive an argument. One, you don't actually know how fast the simulation might be running (or whether it regularly rewinds to deal with inconsistencies). Two, there appear to be many performance mechanisms built into the universe that one would at least consider in building a simulation of this kind: the speed of light allows for a large degree of isolation, and quantum uncertainty allows some degree of lazy processing.

I remain pretty strongly agnostic about all this but I don't think you can escape it easily. One interesting thing to me would be what it would mean for some _rich_ far off signal to be picked up. It seems relatively easy for the universe to maintain a low fidelity simulation about rocks and radiation in space at a distance (plus or minus things like dark matter!) But if we suddenly started receiving broadcasts from an alien civilisation, or even met them face to face, that would be two very rich and detailed timelines that would suddenly have to snap into sync. That's certainly not something I'd allow if I had to build and maintain this stuff (and one can only assume unreasonable deadlines and budgets are universal).

A lot of the seemingly-dumb stuff happens because the market is a lot more effective at finding efficient solutions than gut feelings.

Some of it is also because externalities like pollution aren't priced in, but often the seemingly-bad thing is actually better by most metrics.

Reducing plastic packaging may be one such example: Sure, it reduces plastic waste, but it creates more wasted product, and packaging from stuff consumed in households is exceedingly unlikely to end up in the ocean in a western city that burns their trash in a waste-to-energy plant.

There are other reasons. For example I think Kensington and Chelsea balked at the idea of having the on-street infra for some schemes. Same reason they don't have nice cycling infra.

I'm surprised line-of-sight across the rooftops hasn't taken off yet. Seems like the density would make it worthwhile, but maybe there's some unseen factor at play.
Careful with this comparison: you want to vaccinate 100% of the population but get as few as possible to contract coronavirus. This means that you cannot compare fatality rate of the infected vs fatality rate of the vaccinated and extrapolate to the entire population. In Norway if the trend of AZ fatalities were to continue they would quickly have more deaths of AZ below 55 than the virus claimed.
reddit.com is a slow and flickering mess even on my gaming PC. It's the worst example that comes to mind though. But if that same PC can run incredibly complex open world games while simulating (for instance) an aircraft complete with the cockpit and displays driven by emulated onboard computers at 60+ fps, it's not too much to ask the same from a webpage that "just" needs to do text layout and display a couple of images.

Also: it's considerably faster and cheaper to build a fast webpage than to build a slow webpage. I'm quite sure the "new Reddit" was a lot more expensive to build than the "old Reddit".
What is so different with AstraZeneca? Should we expect similar side effects with other vaccines?
I think that this branch of engineering is still in its infancy (like electrical engineering int the times of edison). I am courius how front end development will look when dust will settle, maybe in 50 years?

Maybe todays, heated disucions will be setted for good? Or something new, better will be invented?

Is is good that fruit is classified this way? Isn't it a truism at this point that large, nice looking fruit tastes worse?

Even if classification is necessary (and pre-dates the EU), should every country use the same classification? Or should they each do their own? If France decides they're tired of using the EU classification system, are they allowed to?

There are real differences of opinion about questions like this and these differences (rather than bare facts) are what's being disputed here.
She has some medical problems. She discovered environmental problems with the building or whole property. Most probably they are not related - but there is this disturbing thing that the environmental problems would never be fixed if they cause only very low-grade harm.

This topic seems to come up on Hacker News every few months or so. Not saying the post is necessarily wrong there, but it's certainly something people here love discussing nonetheless.

As for why front end development may be a bit of a mess here? Well, it's really a problem that doesn't have just one cause.

On the one hand, business pressures likely have a huge impact here. Companies love analytics, tracking, ads, etc, all of which contribute greatly to the issue of slow loading, broken sites. If you include everything and the kitchen sink, then things will clash or time out or break.

There's also an issue with businesses focusing on speed and working getting done quickly rather than well. If you're given unrealistic deadlines, and the feature set is changed midway through development because some manager/sales team thought of a shiny new idea that needs implementing... well it seems like optimisation, usability, etc often end up on the cutting room floor.

And yes there's a bit of envy from developers towards Facebook/Google/Apple/whatever there too, and a need to 'test out the shiny new toys' so they can potentially get hired there in future. I suspect CV padding is definitely why SPAs are way more common than they used to be, and why simple static or server rendered sites seem nearly nonexistent now.
Validation has been unimportant for about 20 years. That has nothing to do with why websites are bad nowadays.
I don't doubt that there have been cases of thrombosis, and that those may have been caused by the vaccine. But I haven't seen any proof that the rate of deaths caused by this is anywhere near as high as the IFR of covid. Even for young people. Do you have any data to support this? Just because people "are worried" doesn't mean they have any reason to be worried.
> The fatality rate from Covid is much higher, even for young people.

Are you taking into account that these blood clot deaths are happening disproportionately in younger people? Also, are you assuming that anyone who turns down the AstraZenaca vaccine is definitely going to get COVID?
I agree actually, you describe the issues I've had with nix quite head on. I've not ran into such issues every single time i try it, but I have hit upon a good deal of issues of the kind you describe. Nix is by no means perfect, and if I was smarter I'd try to remake it with a stronger type system, but the basic premise is useful enough on it's own to warrant usage IMO
I think it could be argued that Robinhood’s UX is a sort of feature on its own. Stock trading isn’t simple by any means, and Robinhood found a way to make it really approachable for everyone and that’s almost admirable. Everything else about their business sucks, but that one piece was truly impressive.

At best.
In proportional fonts, the minus sign is significantly longer and usually slightly higher and thinner than the hyphen (so it lines up with the horizontal bar of the + sign). If you’re used to it, it looks much better than a hyphen. (Similar to using real quotation marks instead of the straight ones etc.)
I'd like to add a bit more nuance. Modern frontend development provides many opportunities for failure. These failures often make their way into production. I, personally, get great results with modern FE development. My users are happy. I am happy. It's all very successful. All the defenders of modern FE development will likely chime in with the same sentiment. I also get great results with C, which arguably provides even more catastrophic opportunities for failure. I wouldn't say "C is a failure", but I absolutely hate working in C, and I'm glad we've made improvements to systems programming. I think the point I'm moving toward is that we absolutely should strive to make better tools for delivering web content, but the reasons for failure are far more complex than the tooling itself. So, let's not frame things in black and white and call something that's been used with large amounts of success a failure. That's not very productive and is just flame bait. The real question is, "What's next?", how are we going to improve the current situation?
I read it and feel it's the same as how we perceive modern music. Everyone says music "used to be better" but that's just survival bias. Just like music, there was a LOT of trash web development back in the day as well. Sites built with tables in dreamweaver best viewed on netscape navigator at 800x600 with animated gifs bogging the download speed existed long ago.

What we have today are the same problems with a new wrapper, created by a not dissimilar group of people from the past.
The hardest thing is making things pretty and flexible while maintaining ease of development. Newer UI kits like Flutter are basically architected like game engines. This is a challenge that UI framework designers will have to confront if they want more native alternatives to electron. Whatever replaces electron must at the very least be similarly easy to use, accessible to many languages and runtimes, and trivial to style with non-copyleft usage license.
Are there other creation myths that don't suffer some from of the same issue, or do you just not lose sleep about it?
Maybe, but it's very likely that the risk will be significantly lower than for unvaccinated people. And there was actually a CDC study a few days ago that confirmed that the vaccines prevent infection entirely, which would obviously stop transmission: https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n888
Some years back I signed a lease in a luxury apartment hi-rise in downtown Chicago. The complex had been an add-on to an existing shopping center and mall. Long story short, the apartment smelled like old grease and trash often, and I could never trace the exact source as it would come and go.
No matter how many air filtration units I installed, or odor absorbing devices, the odors would still collect and infiltrate my clothing and furniture. Again, it wasn't constant but regular enough for me not to stay there very often.

I ended up caulking the entire apartment with clear caulk and sealing any air gaps. Because the hi-rise was pressurized like most hi-rises, I concluded somehow this was drawing up smells from grease traps etc. Of course I could never prove it.

My conclusion is that most of these buildings are so cheaply and poorly made that I will never again rent a unit like this. Too bad I spent 30k on the lease and hardly ever stayed there. So the woman's experience seems pretty plausible to me.
Many countries in the EU were under unwilling Russian dominion just a few decades ago. I don't think it's reasonable to blame them for mistrusting Moscow's motives. (And there's a lot of clear mischief that could happen; if the EU ends up in a situation where losing Sputnik V imports would set vaccinations back by months, and then Russia annexes Donbass, what are they going to do?)

A house can't be sold readily. Even if you get in contract ASAP, it's usually 30 days until closing. It's illiquid because 30 days isn't 'readily'. To contrast this with something 'liquid', with a stock you can sell and wire the funds same day if you needed to, 2-3 days if you use ACH instead.

HELOC is a loan and doesn't have anything to do with how liquid the asset is.
Edit: ah, you're saying if we vaccinate 100% that's but only 50% were ever going to get covid then we need to allow for twice the vaccine side effects compared to covid issues?

Original comment:

I'm not sure I follow your logic? Haven't we already allowed for that by comparing via percentages?

Unless we expect younger people to have a higher rate of side effects?

Sorry if I'm being dull...
Okay. Then what is the correct term if it's communicated not directly to that person but toward public? Defamation?
It’s already here and called prompt engineering. See Gwern’s extensive explorations of this [1].

I’ve been building a product on GPT-3 [2] using extensive prompt engineering. It’s a bit like programming, a bit like writing. It’s kind of like giving instructions to a child, but a child with essentially infinite memory and perfect recall. Some tasks work quite easily via commanding, while others need quite a bit of massaging to get coherent results, like construction of entire fictional scenes or documents that would be found in the real world, but where you’re just looking for one paragraph of the document as the output.

I do think that as these language models mature, prompt engineering will go by the wayside. With minimal training, you’ll be able to tell the AI precisely what to do.

This sounds like hyperbole but it’s the honest truth. Billions would die due to food shortages. Our modern farming system is incredible at its job of feeding 7 billion people.
It's never too late to consider server-side web technologies (new or old).

We would have closed up shop a long time ago if we hadn't discovered Blazor and all of the productivity gains that go along with it.

At the margin, some people definitely will.

The IFR for young people from Covid is less than 0.03%. that is very, very low.
Yes. You need an estate attorney to set it up properly but you can put all your assets into a trust with designated beneficiaries. This also has the advantage of greatly simplifying the probate process compared to a simple will. IANAL but I think this is because the trust does not "die" so all the assets the trust owns are excluded from probate.
> The TV show "Yes, Minister" […]

Was basically written as ideological propaganda, per the show creator:

> The fallacy that public choice economics took on was the fallacy that government is working entirely for the benefit of the citizen; and this was reflected by showing that in any [episode] in the programme, in Yes Minister, we showed that almost everything that the government has to decide is a conflict between two lots of private interest – that of the politicians and that of the civil servants trying to advance their own careers and improve their own lives. And that's why public choice economics, which explains why all this was going on, was at the root of almost every episode of Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister.[17]
