That is a great tool, and I should use it more often.

Sadly doesn't help for some cases, like the code snippets in Apple's docs. Have to use the Inspect Element tool for that. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2091...
I dunno, I feel that’s like saying that Lisp and Haskell are part of what’s broken about the machine code ecosystem.

ClojureScript and Elm aren’t compile-to-JS languages for the sake of doing something weird, there’s just literally nothing else that will run in a browser (except wasm but probably best not to get into that).

Different programming languages exist for a multitude of valid reasons, the compiled output isn’t particularly important as long as it can express everything you need it to.
Anecdote: I live in Palo Alto, and my entire neighborhood is on Comcast. In January, service got to be really bad, 1Mbs upload during the day. Comcast came out, said our local node was saturated at 92%, and that they have an upgrade planned a year from now, and that we can suck it till then.

This is Palo Alto, the land of very vocal neighbors. They started a campaign where we all sent a complaint to the FCC. Within a week, we were personally contacted by a Comcast rep, techs came out, and suddenly I had 30Mbs up. And Comcast reps have been calling, emailing every week to make sure we are ok. Not sure what happened, the node did not get upgraded, but they fixed something.

And another data point on how sad the situation is in the US: my brother lives in Belgrade, Serbia, in one of those concrete high-rises from the 70s. He got fiber this year from a private company, and his speeds beat mine, and it is dirt cheap. There is no logical explanation for the fact that his internet speeds beat mine, and I am a mile away from Google HQ.
The wick is in a local negative feedback cycle with its fuel. If it were to burn “too fast” then its fuel input rate will be reduced, and it would burn more slowly.

If the negative feedback mechanism didn’t exist, the candle combustion reaction would runaway and the whole thing would explode.
A friend of a friend bought a house that belonged to an apple collector. The orchard contains over 500 grafted varieties. They do an annual party that starts with friends helping trimming and then goes into tasting and juicing. I'm looking forward to their next party once they can have it.
> Remember that Republicans tried to ban municipal broadband federally only two months ago! Just an absurdly, transparently corrupt move.

The article you posted said something else, that the bill was to ban government-run broadband in an area that has private competition.

From your link:

The bill "would promote competition by limiting government-run broadband networks throughout the country"
and
States or municipalities that already offer Internet service may continue to do so if "there is no more
than one other commercial provider of broadband Internet access that provides competition for that service in a particular area."
yes, unreal.

Also all this took place when he received a multi million dollar advance for his book "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic", and remember this crazy thing https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/arts/design/cuomo-covid-p... how is any of this real?!?!
> Compare this to RNI film's preset pack for Lightroom which I find are much more interesting.

Sure but now you're paying a yearly subscription for Lightroom and buying third party presets. The Fuji profiles are free with the body and are pretty good for the vast majority of users.

Besides if you're developing from raw anyways, you probably don't care about the Fuji sims in the least. It's apples to oranges. For more casual JPEG shooters they're easily accessible and look great.
>That silence resulted in the loss of at least one hundred and fifty thousand human beings needlessly

Just gonna point out that non-Americans are human beings as well, and millions have died - directly as a result of this silence.

The fact that Biden played a key part in enforcing this silence at various stages is particularly galling, and it's beyond fucked-up that he isn't held to account for it.
I assume it's some combination of hard luck and interesting work.
> Did you hear about this last year? From who? Did you find it credible? Why or why not?

Your questions above propose the idea of bias in the information delivery and reception, which inherently maps to political partisanship. What other sort of bias could your questions possibly evoke?

Cuomo was exposed and has been condemned largely by officials within his own party, and also broadly by the media, whether left, right, or center.
How they know only x% of users effected and which one? Not sure if they concluded that after reviewing the leaked data?

> We really need to switch to a civil law system in this country.

"pure" versions of either don't work - it's more like a spectrum. Unfortunately moving to more legislative emphasis than case law only works if you have an efficient legislative process to update. If that's too adversarial, you get the worst of both worlds.
>'The key phrase is "only when" in the second sentence'

Thank you for pointing this out. That makes sense. This is sort of like the idea that the fastest system call is the one that is never made. Can you say how does something in userland know if something "would" block without actually crossing the user/kernel boundary? Does the kernel expose a queue length counter or similar via a read-only page?
> it was always about cheap labour

Oh yes.

Globalism is not a healthy arrangement. It violates the principle of subsidiary. Global oligarchs are freaking out and hence the frantic uptick in fear mongering. They fear their loss of power. Deflection is key. Stirring up manufactured conflicts among the plebes and bogging people down in bad, self-destructive habits (like drugs and porn) and an endless series of diversions is the classic way you stifle uprisings and pacify the populace. Anyone with a basic understanding of history knows this. The surveillance state and rampant censorship are attempts to neutralize threats (the private sector can skirt constitutional obstacles because, hey, it's private, right?). It is troublesome if you can't use knowledge of history to read the signs in our day. It's one of the reasons we learn history: to understand our present conditions and learn from the past.

The merger of state capitalism and state socialism has been under way and crossing a new threshold, now represented by the convenient phrase "the Great Reset".
That’s the classic stock/flow issue.

That's now solved by stating the actual light output in lumens as well as the power consumption in Watts (and it should have always been thus).

Essentially, every compact fluorescent and LED light bulb I've bought in recent years states both the power consumed and light output (which means that if one bothered one could calculate the overall efficiency of the bulb).

Also, for those who still have difficulty with the new specifications, manufacturers state the new bulb's light output to be equivalent to an incandescent of 'x' Watts
(i.e.: the light output of say a 20 Watt compact fluorescent ≡ to a 100 Watt incandescent bulb). This is now rather irrelevant where I live as incandescent bulbs have been banned for so long that everyone has forgotten about them.

Speak for yourself. I am a criminal and I'm happy that Signal has my back.

In fact I'd argue that anyone who is not a criminal is probably quite a boring and uninteresting person.
They could still offer it as a client library feature, just tell the users what kind of r/w amplification and guarantees they can expect, and it's something they could optimize later or not.
To put that into context, Bolt's 9.58s (current WR, considered phenomenal in and of itself, I think?) is about 1.7% faster than Powell's 9.74s (last pre-Bolt WR).

A 4% improvement on Bolt's 9.58s would be about 9.19s - probably not something we'll see for several decades, if ever.
Anarchical, intervention-less markets are where cartels and monopolies form and destroy competition, and then there stops being anything free about it. By that strict definition of free markets, they are ephemeral, self-defeating things.

Vite is not a completely opinionated tool. You can still customise its behaviour and use plugins, so both installations would have very similar vulnerabilities at the end. For SSR, you need a self-written server entry point.

How to improve your eCommerce UX
Most of the work of UX/UI designers and researchers consists of creating an Ecommerce website and let’s be honest, it’s not always an easy task. Here are few tips that will help you improve your client’s Ecommerce UX and make the conversions higher.
Kind of pedantic but I've never understood why it's E=mc^2 and not E=Δmc^2. In Einsteins original paper he derives the equation with a delta m: a change of mass corresponds to some amount of energy. To me that is different than to say that a whole mass corresponds to a some amount of energy. I've never seen a justification why the delta can be omitted and why the equation still would hold true.
Can't seem to find any info on where it'll take place. Is it remote?
Ask HN: Did a team building exercise ever work for you?
That is, did you ever do some off-site work gathering, like finger painting, in the name of 'team building', and after it was over, maybe the next day or week at work, you thought, "Huh -- that team building might have actually worked at least a little bit."?
I'm not sure why you're morally panicked. Alcohol is a toxin. Drink it and have fun. Nobody's telling you what to do with your life by informing you that alcohol and fast food don't do you any good from a physical health standpoint and are poor choices for mental health as well. You can rationalize away the harm, and probably quite effectively for you alone - it's not my business.
I guess it's always nice to have more source typefaces but until Microsoft addresses the downstream pixel chain of the platform, the typical user's experience will still be a mess due to inconsistent HiDPI scaling and other issues.

> Every time Bruce Schneier writes a fully general halt-checker, God kills a passenger pigeon. This is why passenger pigeons are extinct.
I would expect that most of the window of peoples' perspectives in most religions fall in the "mostly true, but we don't know which bits, so we'll be tolerant of people who disagree about which bits". Extremists are the people who say "Absolutely true, thus anyone who disagrees on any of it is a *"

As an example, I believe that things usually fall to the ground when dropped, but I've seen a number of counter-examples, and I'm aware of some disagreement at the margins over exactly how quickly those things fall. An extremist would say "Anyone who disagrees that things fall with an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 is a transgressor".

Sort of agree.

I do Pilates and yoga 3-5x a week, as well as regular body weight training and surf, so am fairly fit and very focused on back and core health.

For me, it's the lack of movement during intense periods of focus - four hour blocks, over many years, sometimes 16 hr days. At least with the bad chair, I'm always moving, keeping the support muscles active. When I sit for a long time, and forget the core, I think is when compromise to key systems occur.

What I'm not good at is getting up every 20 min, if I did, I'm sure I'd be fine.
Since I came to live in America I have been constantly shocked by how much different contractors are trying to screw you up. The spread in quotes can easily be as much as 5 times from the (already expensive) cheapest to the most expensive ones, with what I am guessing is the majority of contractors high balling and trying to score easy money. I dread the upcoming weeks of negotiations every time I need to get anything fixed around the house.
Part of the reason why Accenture prospers is that rather than being seen as a possible source of competitive advantage much of the business world sees IT as being a minefield that has to be crossed.

There have been so many (well publicised) disasters that the priority is to avoid the worst possible outcome whilst having someone who can be blamed if the worst does happen.

In my experience, team building exercises just help you get more comfortable with your co-workers, regardless of whether or not each individual recognizes that it's happening.
In what way do you mean, is Calibri better? I am no designer, just curious.
And yet still no "Watch Together" option. It is frankly inconceivable to me that Netflix has no interest in making their platform just a bit more social.

I guess we all have to settle more more tricks to get us to watch whatever bad-to-middle reality show they've launched this week. Less glibly, I would actually be interested in this feature if I didn't feel like Netflix's recommendations to me are so bad for me. I've felt this way since the rating scale change, but I can't honestly say that was the cause. It's more likely a result of increased Netflix-produced content, which by-and-large I find uncompelling (with documentaries being an exception).
This is a brilliant explanation of what a clearinghouse does

Reminds me of the "We value your privacy" pop-ups Google keeps popping up. A for-profit company will say anything that it believes is profitable. PR statements like the one you quoted convey no information.
The feds could say we won't contribute to a subway unless we actually build it.

Though as I said elsewhere, that just means in a few years the corrupt switch to how to deal with the feds. Much better for the feds to be an independent anti-corruption unit.
It should also be noted that OpenAI’s content filters are extremely sensitive which may explain some of the downstream effects.

That said, I don’t think you’re trying to be a designer for hackers and the cool stuff is probably under the hood, and it’s a good example of what’s possible with just an API.

Your Team Is Not “Them”
Exactly: 99% of the time, "webpack is slow" is just code for "I have Babel in my toolchain" and forgetting to set ts-loader as "transpile only".

Personally I removed it years ago, and Webpack 5 even allowed me to get rid of more loaders now that there are Assets Modules that automatically detect assets and webworkers using the "new URL()" syntax, and Typescript does everything else I need.

> The new findings help clarify one detail of Shirai’s 1921 mouse study that never sat well with the naive notion of immune privilege. Shirai found that tumors survived and grew when implanted in some locations in mice’s brains. But when Shirai placed tumors right next to the ventricles — now known to be the locations where the brain produces the fluid that sweeps antigens off to the immune cells — the tumors didn’t survive.

So, the key experiment to reveal this fact was performed one hundred years ago, but overlooked.

>plus what makes Twitter qualified to pass judgment?

Why do you believe Twitter is not qualified to pass judgement about what content is and is not acceptable on their platform?

If they don't have the right to do so, then who does?
Agreed. Although that doesn't stop people having their own perceived truth which is what I was referring to.
This isn’t so much about 10.2, but about Next’s plans/roadmap for static sites, particularly whether there are plans to provide official support for partial hydration.

I like a lot of what Next brings in terms of DX polish. But I ultimately decided not to use it for recent projects, where the majority of the content is truly static. Next sends this content in HTML, then sends it again in JS. This not only adds unnecessary page weight, it also increases the uncanny valley before TTI.

The current solution to this in Next is to mark an entire page as non-interactive. This means a page will send either no JS at all, or all of it. This isn’t ideal.

There are several experimental projects exploring partial hydration with Next, but without official support they’re risky. There are also emerging projects like Astro providing similar functionality to Next with partial hydration as a core feature.

I’d imagine the most obvious way to achieve something similar in Next will be SSG with React Server Components, but who knows when that will be stable.

Anyway, curious if Vercel has anything to share on the topic.

Both the Left and the Right engage in conspiratorial nonsense. The difference is that the Left has academic and state backing.

Also, BLM is a Marxist organization (this is not a conspiracy, they are quite frank about their sympathies). QAnon doesn't even compare and has no institutional muscle or backing unlikes critical race theory, gender ideology, etc. So to construe them as the greater threat...
At the moment I'm usually fine with my 200Mbps download speeds from Spectrum, but man am I jealous of those upload speeds and that price. I'm looking to move soon, and municipal fiber is definitely on the list of things that could get me to pick one area over another. It's not only a great deal on an essential service, but gives me a bit more confidence in the local government and the citizens that voted for it.
Counterpoint: a nearby city wanted to provide municipal broadband. Mayor, city council, majority of the public seemed on-board. The city realized they knew nothing about running an ISP, so they hired some consultants, who hooked them up with another contractor to build out and run it. Some time passed, nothing happened, the contractor went bankrupt. Every cent of tax money spent amounted to nothing. The big ISPs (Comcast and ATT) continued to operate and expand their services, which are better than they've ever been (which is not to claim it couldn't be better, but more people have broadband now than they did before).
Pretty much every "lets do some thing together where we interact and have fun" works IMHO. If it's promoted specifically as "a thing to do for team building" it's easily too artificial. Go play laser tag, go to the zoo together, whatever. Physical activity is good, as long as it's something everyone can do reasonably and is comfortable with.
The main difference I assume is that for a normal jury the defendant can challenge jurors, while for a grand jury the defendant often doesn't even know it is sitting on their case.
You can buy something in the 1-3 KW range at Home Depot. I've seen one in person at an off-grid house and the owner couldn't understand why people even used solar. This was 15+ years ago though, so solar was MUCH more expensive than today while a turbine I'd imagine was about the same?
