Interesting that you commit the same fallacy as the parent talks about: you talk about all this complexity in biotech but then assume that there's going to be a headset with a computer in order to connect to the simulation, rather than it being directly implanted into one's brain.

React never claimed performance, and the virtual DOM is quite wasteful. Any direct manipulation library will perform better.

Plus, it’s dishonest to look at react core size. react-dom, which is absolutely required, is 40KB minified AND compressed. Plus the usual plugins to handle icons, SVG, animations, and on on. A base React application easily crosses the 200KB gzipped mark.
Video tutorial series of the Nim programming language
For anyone interested in trying out a new programming language, i have created a video series for the Nim programming language.

The first video of the series explains the language, what all it can do, as well as the setup and a simple Hello World compilation and run.

i'm currently trying out https://turbo.hotwire.dev/ which is a new library from the basecamp guys, which makes it really easy to create SPA feeling sites with rails, using little to no javascript, and in a very unobtrusive, intuitive way. i'm guessing it's going to be an integral part of the upcoming rails 7 release.
There is speculation that Argentina may have failed to keep Sputnik V cold enough during distribution, so it is quite possible that the president and others recently vaccinated received degraded vaccine.

Fuel tanks leak. Cars leak. Waste fluids (fuel, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, refrigerant) leak and are improperly disposed of. Fuel spills when being pumped in or out of tanks.

Until 1996, leaded gasoline was generally legal in the United States (California phased it out in 1992). It remains legal as avgas and possibly for some specialised uses. Tetraeythyl lead is a toxic heavy metal compound thought to be a factor in the rise in urban crime, a phenomenon which traces its use and phase-out closely, though lagged about 20 years.

Among the compounds used as an alternative to lead was MTBE (Methyl tert-butyl ether), an oxygenate and ground-water contaminant, itself banned as a fuel additive in 2004 (2002 in California), though again it remains legal for other uses.

Petrol (gasoline) itself is often formulated with numerous other additives, and "is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons", averaging hydrocarbon length of about 5-6. ("Naptha", shorter chains make more volatile fuels, longer chains heavier, e.g., kerosene, diesel fuel, fuel oil, bunker oil. "Octane" is an 8-chain compound with lower volatility, increasing the ignition point and reducing engine knocking due to premature ignition.) Various of the naturally-occuring, added, and refining-induced compounds themselves may be harmful or toxic, and include VOCs.

There is something really pleasing about reading PDFs. It’s perhaps how static it is and it won’t change on me. I can zoom in or “operate” on it without some reorganization. It puts the mind to ease. There is no reflowing. There is no columns shifting. It’s just is. Like a piece of paper as an analog - the intent of the author and the designer is retained and frozen in time. Fonts are embedded and chosen by the creator. Haters of PDFs do not understand the human aspects of it - they just see it as a specification (which is convoluted).
I added that for a bit of color :)
Exactly what harm does wearing a mask cause and exactly who is acknowledging that???
Thanks for your kind words.

Would you be able to expand on what you mean by “report generation libraries”?

For example, I am building (in Common Lisp, but it’s trivial and can be done in any software) a tool to read content from a database and auto generate the HTML markup for producing pdf reports. This allows me to reuse content across reports and also leverage the full power of databases (text search in particular). As another example, I have many monthly financial metrics - I will store these in a database then use my lisp markup tool to generate the necessary HTML to produce the pdf report (via paged.js).

In addition, one can use headless chrome to automate the full workflow so that the reports are generated directly from your program and not via File > Print in your browser.

Was that what you were thinking of?

You can also add charts via charts.js.

The beauty of paged.js is that you can leverage many of the features of browsers and JavaScript libraries in your report generation.

I wasn’t able to get syntax highlighting for code blocks to work however, need to dig into that a bit more.
I'm of the opinion that their old web site, while perhaps being visually less pretty, is still superior to their new one, both in terms of UX and performance.

The signal vs. noise ratio is also pretty bad. In some subreddits, who cares? Or maybe the noise is even desirable. But in other more serious subreddits where people are looking for serious answers, it can get very annoying. Maybe you're right in that even a $1 fee would reduce the number of people that just go around replying to every thread with "your mom" jokes.
Now try this with food. In one generation get these animals to stop needing to eat.
Is this waste a radiation hazard, or not?

The waste is a byproduct of fertilizer manufacturing and has nothing to do with nuclear power or weapons. For that reason, I doubt it's radioactive.

However, the article is contradictory on this point:

According to the article, Gov. DeSantis said the water "is not radioactive."

Also according to the article, the Center for Biological Diversity says "phosphogypsum is radioactive waste."
It’s proof we are in a simulation. What else but a random item generator could have come up with it?
Considering there was a US backed coup, I have a hunch considering Kissingers realpolitik in this case.
Something radioactive enough to significantly increase your chances to have cancer in your lifetime can have no indication at all at the time of exposure. It's one reason it's important to be so careful about radioactive waste and it's disposal.
>Subtract 30, divide by 2 works well enough heh

That's close enough for most purposes, but (F)5/9-32=(C) provides better precision.
There's necessary complexity, and then there's extra complexity.

IMHO, a lot of frameworks just add extra complexity. Now that we're in the twenties, you don't need nearly the level of browser compatability shims like at the turn of the century. Sure, bleeding edge features need that, but most sites don't need any of that. Certainly news and shopping fit well enough with turn of the century browsers, so everything else is fluff (and retargetting, ugh).

It's the same with a lot of server side frameworks; especially PHP frameworks. I've never been able to grasp what a PHP framework can do that PHP can't, other than burn 50ms of cpu before outputting anything.
At any one time, yes, there's always a root tone and the tuning system is generated with respect to that root. Such is the nature of pure harmony. This is one of the reasons (I would say the main reason) why equal temperament tuning rather than just intonation is dominant in our culture.

You can change the frequency of the root tone in the settings though (gear icon, top right). You have to specify it in Hz which is a bit inconvenient, sorry about that. To compute the frequency in Hz for any tone on the usual piano keys, compute 2^(n/12) * 440, where n is the number of semitones above (n>0) or below (n<0) the mid A that you want the root tone to be. If that's not clear, let me know and I can give you list of frequencies for various tones.
"Every" is superfluous. If there's even one superfluous word, you haven't eliminated superfluous words.

I am a backend engineer primarily and could never figure out a way to build large scale responsive web apps.

I usually buy a theme, reuse the components from there and make small web apps. I want to start making serious web apps, wondering if anyone here can share their flow? like what component libraries/ frameworks do you use to be able to build full scale web apps?

Ideally I want to be able to reuse most stuff for other projects.
The problem is, it's not clear that camera-only and relatively modest processing can even handle fully autonomous highway driving in good weather. So, if you need a very expensive sensor package, the only large market available is taxis.

> In German there is a nice idiom for that kind of thought pattern: "Nach mir die Sintflut"

Interestingly this is originally a French saying by Louis XV, Après moi, le déluge [0]. From wiki:

> It is generally regarded as a nihilistic expression of indifference to whatever happens after one is gone, though it may also express a more literal forecasting of ruination. Its meaning is translated by Brewer in the forms "When I am dead the deluge may come for aught I care", and "Ruin, if you like, when we are dead and gone."

It looks like the German translation of the same idiom was popularised by Marx [1].

Yes. You sign up knowing you will have a paragraph upon paragraph about a characters clothing. Epic fantasy is meant to be fully realized and asks much more of its reader. The four best modern epic fantasy: Wheel of Time, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Song of Fire and Ice, and Way of Kings. I think GRRM has the best balance of pacing, but you don’t just sit down and casually read these stories in a weekend. Well, you can, and some people like to do a fast read and then a slow read to full absorb it. Ultimately, I quite enjoy it. The slow pace is nice. It can be an exercise in patience, but they are quite rewarding to me. There are plenty of books out there that go faster and have tighter, cleaner writing.

This infantile false dichotomy again. We get it; BE engineering is far superior to JS/FE engineering so therefore anyone belonging to the BE/non-JS tribe is a far superior intellect and person. We’re glad you feel better about yourself.

I'd argue we already connected ourselves to computers, and we're just using the safest but slowest adapters available right now.

Adding to this: similar thing seemingly happens in my town. Our taxes are higher than surrounding towns and of course the people are richer and "nicer". Except take 5 minutes to dig into the metrics and you see how much our police are paid (and it shows in their behavior and how much they care), the schools are better, the services and commercial spaces are better, etc.
I think the article is correct that the system isn't ergodic, because it's not "mixing". A given typical trajectory won't get close to every potential point. Most go to the bottom and few go to the top - basically the point of the article.
I guess I don’t see what is supposed to drive the S curve in biotechnology over the next 60 years. Advanced information technology is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for biotech mastery, and the other conditions are just not in place.

Why do you think your mom's chili wouldn't scale? Do you have any material reason to think that?
True, but complexity doesn't necessarily have anything do to with time and space, that's all I really wanted to point out.

This is starting to no longer be true. We've held Angular/React in the top spots for a while now. Vue is probably next in line.

However, both front-end and back-end are substantial enough now and have enough frameworks and environments that it's really hard to do well at both. I'd much prefer more specialization, which would hopefully lead to higher quality.
Another implicit axiom is that if there is a set of at least two people which contains him and the Pope, one of them is not the Pope. And if the set is reduced to just Bertrand Russell then he must not be the Pope.
Dude - absolutely. Your brain is a powerful and weird thing, and simply thinking of a thing can influence your autonomic nervous system, changing breathing patterns, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. Ask anyone that has general anxiety or a panic disorder.
Yeah and Bitwarden does seem to work, just tap “passwords” it brings up Bitwarden, not ff’s password store. Btw does anyone know why bitwarden then asks for a pin and does not use face unlock?
the problem is of course that even if that's true, if the virus spreads asymptomatically the same mutation risk applies to the variant itself and at some point then we might up with something that again completely escapes immunity and vaccination.

It's just evolution in action. Any variant that dodges the vaccine starts a new game of dice.
Yeah what's weird is that there's is an entire generation of developers who think of SPA as the default.

They think that server side is slower because you have to send down more data, or you have to wait for the server to generate HTML.

Quite the contrary, it's slower to send down 1 MB or 10 MB of JavaScript to render a page, than to simply send down a 100 KB HTML page. Even if you need some JS also, browsers know how to render concurrently with downloads, as long as you provide enough HTML.

Rendering HTML on a server side Intel/AMD/whatever CPU is way faster than rendering it on a mobile device (and probably more efficient too).

Even if it weren't faster and more efficient, it would save battery power on the client.

And there is a ton of latency on the client side these days, ignoring network issues. There are ways of using the DOM that are expensive, and a lot of apps and frameworks seem to tickle those pathological cases. These 20-year-old browser codebases don't seem to be great workloads for even modern Android or iPhone devices.

---

edit: To be fair, I think what's driving this is that many sites have mobile apps and web apps now, and mobile apps are prioritized because they have more permissions on the device. (This is obvious when you look at what happened to Reddit, etc.)

It's indeed a more consistent architecture to do state management all on the client. Doing a mix of state on the server and state on the client is a recipe for confusion -- now you have to synchronize it.

Still there are plenty of apps that are website-only, like the government sites people are talking about. Those people appear to be copying the slow architecture of the dual mobile+web clients and getting a result that's worse.
I don't think it matters so much for React/Angular/Vue to support web components because they will be dropped in favor of vanilla js just like jQuery has, thanks to Custom Element which is recommended for MFE, and ESM which will likely be. Mixing different frameworks is a promise that I don't care about, but you got some pretty interesting feedback about it, seems like it might as well take a few years of effort.

I was a huge supporter of PrinceXML / DocRaptor for precisely the same reason - all the alternatives (that I knew at the time) were not good.

Paged.js was a revelation (thanks to HN for telling me about it!). It is based off CSS Print Specifications like PrinceXML (as is my understanding - I’m about 95% sure), and to me it’s even better because it utilizes all the other front end technologies directly from your browser - I think there are some use cases where PrinceXML won’t be able to get the same functionality.

For invoices, I think you should be able to easily switch over. Based on what I can see.

I think the core mismatch here is that you are optimizing for experience and NYT, as a business, is optimizing for revenue. Those two things often do not overlap.

I can virtually guarantee you that NYT has spent thousands upon thousands of hours optimizing and multi-variant testing their headline display to maximize conversion. In other words, if they followed your advice, they would be leaving money on the table.

As for your stock ticker display bug, keep in mind that NYT likely employs hundreds of developers and dozens of teams each owning various pieces of the website. Bugs will make it to production, so it's a matter of prioritization. I'd be shocked if they weren't already aware of that bug. It's probably lower on some specific team's backlog than a bunch of stuff that will be more valuable for the company in terms of revenue.

This is the exact opposite of my experience.

When I click on a link, or click to submit something, and I realize that it's NOT an SPA, my immediate thought is "this is going to be a nightmare."

When I click a button, and it has to make a request to load the next set of html, fully replace the page contents, and probably submitted a post request that will have issues restoring the state of my form if I go back, etc, I feel like I'm on a DMV site from the 90s. Navigating something that is meant to operate as a cohesive application by instead using a series of markup displays is only ever going to be hacky at best. I love using SPAs, because they're actually applications, rather than snapshotted frames of an application running on a remote server.

The only issue could be if you take Sputnik now and Sputnik V2 too soon, if they use the same viral vector in the future (you could develop antibodies to the adenovirus itself, afik Sputnik uses 2 adenoviruses for dose 1 and dose 2 for this exact reason) if the vector is different, they will both work(in the case of mRNA the vector is not an issue, afik).

So if you're allowed to get another vaccine in a couple of months, take Sputnik now.
