Right, but you can't become a doctor without spending many thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars gaining credentials. But you can become a highly compensated software engineer by spending a miserable day answering pointless questions on a whiteboard. I would personally prefer the credentialing approach because at this point it would be easy for me to get the credentials. But the low barrier to entry also has advantages.

First we feared the godless communists having the bomb because they were not held to a higher moral authority.

Now we fear the theocratic muslims because their fanaticism is stronger than their sense of self preservation.

It turns out this is all propaganda, no state is keen on destroying the world, and it's entirely rational for a country under constant threat like Iran (or Israel) to want nuclear weapons.
This reminds me of a section in the game Divinity Original Sin 2.

There's this area that can only be reached by crossing one of two bridges. The first bridge you encounter when you leave the starting town is guarded by a rude and aggressive troll. The bridge is a mess, falling apart, and he charges an expensive toll if you want to pass.

But if you explore for a bit instead of paying, you'll find another bridge with another troll, except this troll is super polite, soft-spoken and friendly, the bridge is very neat and tidy, and his toll is like 10x cheaper. He even thanks you for your patronage when you pay him.

When you encounter the mean troll again, he'll offer you a reward if you kill the other troll.

Apple charging 30% for a scam/malware-infested store, and keeping the profits rather than reinvesting them to try and actually improve the store makes them the first troll in this story.

I think a potential lesson of the story is to use technology that you understand at least as well as your enemy does. The communist bloc maintained registries of typewriter fingerprints so they could identify which typewriters were used to reproduce samizdat; I think it’s fair to assume that the Russians understand typewriters very well.

Top scientists identify reasons behind the Covid-19 surge in India
There are quite a few ways for a site to distinguish private/incognito from normal browsing, and IMO these differences should be treated as bugs. Indeed, these differences often break sites (including a vaccine registration site) that should work fine. We don't need even more ways for sites to break in private/incognito mode.
That's the Linux desktop ecosystem. Another window manager that some users will use and will later complain that their browser isn't working with it or it crashes with etc Wayland, X11, Yet another Linux app or even Z shell, etc.

Sometimes it's only 'fun' swapping in alternatives of alternative system components, until you actually need to get work done. Then it must not get in the way of the user.

I prefer the desktop environment of 'It just works' and 'If it ain't broke don't fix it'. It's called macOS.

You need the M1 macbook air with a thermal mod then. It connects the chassis to the heatsink. The entire bottom gets warm and the area around the heatsink can get up to 50-55C. On the plus side, with the thermal mod, it doesn't really throttle at all, so on longer workloads it performs about the same as the pro.

I actually really like the Hangul writing system. Actually speaking Korean is a whole different story, but to be completely fair I've been trying to learn Japanese at various points for 15 years.

> Did they? Or was the chance they'd come in contact with Covid at that point very low and those masks would be of much better use at hospitals where the chance of coming into contact with Covid was very high? At least, that was what the experts were saying at the time. I donated my N-95 masks (that I had from California fires) not because we thought they didn't do anything in January 2020, but because the experts said they were of better use in hospitals.

You're saying a high risk person (high risk meaning they would likely die from covid - immunosuppressed, etc.) wearing an N95 mask and quarantining was a bad choice? I'm not sure how those masks would be better used if the person is at a high risk of dying to covid.

Good news.

Deno tries to be as close to the browser API as possible. So it's easier to learn than Node.js if you come from frontend development.
does it interop with libs made for node.js and are on npm? e.g. using the official the AWS node.js library
It isn't a framework, it's a runtime. You use it instead of Node, and the headlining feature is you can run TypeScript without a separate build step. The system APIs are different than Node's but those are analogous/easy to learn, and the language itself is still just JavaScript/TypeScript, so there isn't really much to learn.

With that said: I've used it for a couple projects because I'm really interested in its value-proposition, but so far I'm not impressed with the dev experience when it comes to editor integration. It brings its own language server because it has a few tiny caveats, and the language server doesn't work nearly as well as the official TypeScript one. Type changes sometimes don't propagate across files, auto-imports are lacking the file extension (which Deno requires, so you have to go and manually edit them all), etc. Given that frictionless TypeScript support is the major draw, this is a pretty serious issue for me.

I hope it gets there some day, but for me it isn't there yet.
I’m fine with it. One of my usbc ports is already shot by a 3 year old. While the heavy duty power cord is still going strong 4 years later. BUT my computer can pull down some serious amps when I play FS2020 at a whopping 20FPS in ultra... so there’s that.
It feels like these programs were started by people who aren't teachers. Piano teachers don't have students who like Jazz start out by playing some whacked up complicated chord progressions, they start them out with something simple and build up to the hard stuff.

Something like Processing or some other easy and intensely audio/visual programming interface would be much better since it's made with that in mind and produces near instant feedback.

I find it interesting that you consider FSFE and SFC as irelevant to Free Software and sugest OSS.

I would say in recent times SFC has done a lot more for free software than the FSF. Name one thing of note that the FSF has done in the last decade.

Iron selenide in those phases does not superconduct at room temperature. The authors have a "strong belief" that other room temperature high pressure superconductors will retain superconductivity at atmospheric pressure using their technique even though the one they studied doesn't.

WTH is a "business sense" when its' at home? And yes the "H" in my question is a bad word. I am a creative thinker...therefore ...according to a whole bunch of people I ignore entirely, I should have no business sense. Yet on my laptop at any given moment, I maintain about 100 files all for business which are viable-now my definition of viable is that they solve the immediate problem I was thinking about. Fiscal viability is yet to be proven- (IE: they haven't been built out and validated with actual customers and money yet. I am not techie and the build out and daily running of such things is...BORING.

I'd be happy to find a remote build partner for a small share of profits, but I just haven't had the time or motivation to go looking for one.

All the stuff you listed are negatives. What do you have??? Patience? Kindness? Persistence? If so, you are doing better than half the people on here and in the World generally. Most people can stick to things for no more than five minutes and give up at the first sign of trouble...only here it's called "pivoting" I think.

I think you should buy a techy business, like Eric Siu did with SingleGrain, for a $1...and then build it. Yep, sounds difficult, but no more so than drowning yourself in all the homework and time-wasting crap listed below. Look at MicroAcquire, Flippa etc and find a biz you like. Do more of what's already working, stop doing what isn't and then buy more. So many founder, coders etc...put things together and then walk away when the magic money Easter Bunny doesn't show up with a giant check...you wouldn't believe it. Some of them just want someone else to come along and take their ugly baby off of their hands...Be That Someone.

It seems like they're describing a phenomenon where a material remains in a metastable configuration associated with a higher critical temperature, even after the pressure is removed and the sample warmed to room temperature.

That said, the Tc of this phase is still fairly low at about 30+ K, so this does not superconduct at room temperature, regardless of the pressure.
Eh, python breaks backwards compatibility between versions all the time. And I don't know if "it's used by codegolfers" is a legitimate reason to keep a language feature.

That said, I have a really hard time imagining this issue coming up in regular usage of the language so I don't really have much of an opinion should they choose to keep or drop it.
Yes, but 65% efficacy still means that 1/3 of the vaccinated people will continue to be spreaders, which doesn't sound great, especially if that allows the virus to spread and evolve into a harsher variety.
A middleware framework for Deno’s HTTP server, including a router middleware
The submitted title is incorrect. The actual article title is "Pressure-induced high-temperature superconductivity retained at ambient". The abstract doesn't make the claim of superconductivity at room temperature at 1 ATM.
It doesn't load libs from NPM directly, it has its own package management system based around URLs. Most JavaScript/TypeScript logic should port to it trivially, unless they use system APIs, in which case those will have to be converted to Deno's system APIs. But mostly that just comes down to "swap out function X for Y and rearrange the parameters a bit".

So in practice: it's super easy to port something, but most of the time you do actually have to port it, unfortunately.

There are three strategies that other languages use automatically that you can also apply in Rust by hand: string interning, small string optimization and "Copy-on-write". For the first and second, you can use some existing crate like https://docs.rs/string-interner/0.12.2/string_interner/ and https://github.com/rust-analyzer/smol_str. For the later, you can use Cow<'_, str> https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/borrow/enum.Cow.html. I'm having trouble thinking of a case where Rc<String> would be appropriate.
> Signal has the reach to get plenty of beta-testers on board, enough to maybe grow it from there.

I think we need a reality check here. When I check the Playstore, Signal has 50M downloads. WhatsApp has 2B. Signal is still largely the underdog.

I could definitely imagine a few people using a "Signal Payments" app instead of whatever WA offers. But to actually compete with WhatsApp (which won't create a separate app), you can't afford to split the app in two. The aim is not that HN users are able to transfer money in a privacy-preserving way, it's that everybody can.
You can have low powered processors running the show, it's probably very feasible. Or even analog control is doable.

In terms of appearance, maybe. Make that work consistently with most used programs with the same shortcuts, composition, behavior and rich integration between all these apps and then we're talking.

Getting everything working reliably, beautifully, integrated and fast demands many people thinking, designing, implementing, testing and fixing. It is very expensive and only affordable for companies that can make enough money with to return the investment. Linux has no presence on the desktop because vendors that make the most money with it have 0 presence on the desktop.

It's a bit perverse but the problem is that hiring people who can't do the job well is much worse for a company like that than it is for a big company with lots of slack in the system. Not only do they have to pay a person that isn't contributing enough, but the more senior folks on the team have to spend more time mentoring, so it's a double drain. This drives the process toward a higher bar after getting burned a few times.
Not sticking with the TPP was such a dumb move by Trump (but I believe Hillary was going to dump it as well, so it's days were numbered either way).

The canonical answer is _maybe_. If your Node lib relies on Node built-ins, you won't be able to import it directly from GitHub for example. However, CDNs like Skypack and esm.sh do polyfill some of those to Deno. Your mileage may vary depending on the lib you're trying to import. Some will work better on one CDN, some on another -- you really just have to try it for yourself. A surprising amount of libs work without issues.
