> you also have your build code, oddly dictating the organization of your source code

It... really doesn't? You generally have an entry point file - which can be any file, you just have to specify it to your build system - and import statements are followed from there on. If anything you could argue the JS build ecosystem is too flexible (which is one of the things esbuild is pushing back against). I've never heard someone criticize it for being too opinionated.

> For extra fun, some libraries don't build with build system a, others require build system b

I've literally never encountered this problem. Library authors virtually always ship least-common-denominator JS that will work without using a build system at all, and then build systems know how to handle lots of different variations of JS and converge them into a single representation. Compatibility is not an issue that exists in my experience.

> The webdev ecosystem is so broken, it's no wonder so many websites deliver assets that are extremely suboptimally optimised, big unused blobs of assets /scripts slowing page load, optimising it all is actually made harder than coding it all.

Now you're just airing your own personal beef which doesn't actually have anything to do with the original topic.
> compares to a proper manual Webpack configuration

What is a "proper webpack config".

It's such a complex and arcane beast, that I doubt anyone could really figure out a "proper" way to do anything with it.
The ISPs got into a monopoly position due to government intervention, yes. That was a mistake. Unfortunately, now that we're in this position, it's too late, we're stuck, and we need the government to get us back out - "activation energy", so to speak, to get us over the energy barrier from our current high-energy position (ISP monopolies) to a low-energy position (competitive market).

Ideally, at that point, the government would then step back and merely enact rules to keep the market fair and competitive.

Whether that actually happens is another matter. My prediction is that the past trend of the government never letting go of power that it has acquired will continue.
Hospitals did in fact need the beds (nursing home beds >>> hospital beds). Additionally they are ill-equipped for the skilled help these people needed. People suffer from dementia/alzheimers and hospitals only option is to handcuff people to their beds (which is inhumane long-term).

I don't want to play politics and I do think more could have been done here). Like: quickly granting nursing homes aid in terms of PPE + cash + national guard help. I'm just trying to change your mind that the situation was much more nuanced that the NYTimes is advocating for.
How long have you been using it for? Have you used different versions? Wondering if some specific versions are more stable than others..
> Any time you lose waiting for webpack to run you will get back 10x over by not fighting with your tooling because it doesn't handle a set of use cases you have.

Generally I think this is good advice for tools--stick with the mature thing. But my former company's webpack builds were 30+ minutes for a relatively simple site. No doubt something was misconfigured, but you really have to be a webpack expert to get any sort of insight into where the time is going, and even then it may not be especially actionable (or at least not obviously so). In our case, we were using a monorepo and we didn't have something like Bazel, so this was painful for backend engineers, data scientists, etc--not just frontend engineers.

Maybe our case was pathological, but we would have saved a ton of time moving to esbuild and building whatever additional features we needed from scratch.
If most of society can work from home and conduct business via the internet, I'd argue the internet is clearly infrastructure. There weren't traffic jams and cars all over the highways last year, we were cruising the internet superhighway.

Would love it for dinosaurs in politics to get with it and understand the implications of technological investment (or lack thereof).
not convinced. since its the CIA, I trust them they are doing it for a good cause.
I'm not aware of a major child porn problem on Facebook. It is a dominant social media platform. You make it sound like it is rampantly abused by a bunch of pedos to share images of naked kids, when in reality the problem is mostly teens sharing photos of themselves with friends or other teens sharing photos in message groups. In one statement you mention not letting their software near their computers, presumably because of privacy issues but in the next you indicate the the only solution would be to enact more spying and privacy intrusion.
Right on a normal project you’d weed out the poor performers but in this case its basically not possible. The workers knowing this is the case leads to a class of workers who show up and do the minimum. As long as they don’t do anything overtly that would trigger firing for cause, they can coast from project to project.

Therefore the only way project managers can get anything done is to give 25% of the team the opportunity to work 2x the hours for 2.5-3x the pay.

So instead of paying just for your 12 guys, you are paying for equivalent of 9+(3x3) = 18 guys when its really like 6-9 guys worth of work getting done.
Michael Collins was one of many astronauts that claimed to have seen UFOs or at least firmly believe in extraterrestrial life.
Yes, wrong side of the bed, I usually sleep on the left, but I definitely was on the right side that day, not that it's pertinent.

I meant what I said, that it appeared that you hadn't bothered to read the page, or to fully read the comment. Your question is talking about a sphere (which can, btw, be rotated "off axis"), while the original comment was indicating one of the subtracted spheres from the page. Any of those subtracted spheres could be rotated off axis. So either you were ignoring a pertinent part of the original comment, or hadn't bothered to look at the subjects that comment was directed towards (either of these scenarios would violate HN guidelines).

Off-axis rotation could mean many things in the context of the original comment, as is pointed out by other responses to your first comment. While it's true that a gyroid has no planar natural axes (by design), a gyroid can have many natural axes, depending on the space it is modelled in and the criteria for axis selection. For example, an axis can be found in the radial symmetry about the center of mass of a gyroid, in an infinite number of planes.

A sphere can also be rotated off axis. If the axis of rotation is not projected across the center of mass of the sphere (rotation would be different than the infinite number of natural axes going through center of mass) is one way. Another way would be if the axis of rotation tended toward one of the COM natural axes at both ends, but was non-linear. Another off axis rotation would be if the axis of rotation was the natural axis, but was not co-planar with the rotation of the viewing axis, which would make it appear to wobble.

I met Collins many years later. I was a terminally shy child at the time so I don't remember much, but he graciously autographed his entry in ... some Encyclopedia of Space somethingsomething book I had. I should probably try to dig up that book and eBay it.

The point is those ships were under capacity the whole time.

Send more non-covid patients to them, keep elderly patients in the hospitals. New York never reached full capacity overall.

If you MUST send covid patients to nursing homes, make sure they are prepared with PPE.

Other states did so, Cuomo and the 5 other governors should have known to do so. We already had outbreaks in a nursing home that everyone was aware of.
Firefox's Inspect Element tool comes in handy a lot lately. You can use it to disable CSS styles to make text readable. I feel like that would make for a good browser extension: detect the page background color and make all text on the page either #FFF or #000 as appropriate.

When they say it is because you are young, that's a lie. They treat the other young workers like rock stars. When they say it is because everyone gets the same benefits, that's a lie because the others would be complaining too, at least among each other. When they only listen to your advice when they are forced to by reality, begrudgingly, that is real. You can read it on their faces and in their mannerisms.

This article is a little too real. Should probably get myself a substack.

Fifteen Years Forsaken
I wish my city offered it. I just signed up with Frontier's fiber which like yay for that (though it was a process to get them to realize they have a connection on my street as their internal map was apparently out of date). But...

1. I wanted to use my own router instead of theirs. Turns out they send DHCP responses with VLAN 0 ethernet tags (which I guess is for 802.1p) which apparently a lot of DHCP clients don't understand at all. I tried OPNSense and Mikrotik ones and ended up having to apply a patch manually to dhclient that comes with OPNSense and recompiling it just to get an IPv4 address (https://github.com/opnsense/src/issues/114).

2. They don't provide native IPv6, they don't plan to provide native IPv6, they have a 6rd setup that is inaccessible by new customers, and to top it all off, from what I can tell they actively block 6in4/protocol 41 so I can't even use a third party tunnel.

3. Their tier 1 tech support at least knows what IPv6 is (the thing they tell people they don't support; they don't understand it beyond that). Their tier 2 support guy called me once but he clearly was simply relaying messages from an actual network engineer he was getting via text chat, so I got nowhere. Their tier 3 is their network engineers who have no time to talk to people like me since I never got a call I was promised from them and have no way to follow up except starting with the 800 number again (a literal multi-day process).

At least with city broadband I know exactly who works on the project and can go talk to the network engineer who can unblock protocol 41/unfuck the DHCPv4. /rant
Have you seen the android build system? I mean what the hell is a gradle wrapper. At least js tools are configured in .json or .js files not in a special purpose programming language.

I meant FTTP; I've been on FTTC for several years, 80/20, for £26/m. I realise there are others selling Openreach products, but prices are similar or higher, and still I don't see any products with a high upload speed.

I don't really need 900 down, but I've really like higher upload speeds. Regardless, I'd like me and others to have the option. Really, I'm just so sick of how slowly the UK's fibre rollout has been - glacial! It's really encouraging to see the various smaller English ISPs (like HyperOptic) building their own network and offering symmetric products at half the price of OpenReach, but I realise the economics are unlikely to make sense for small towns. I also realise that burying fibre without any existing ducting is going to be very expensive. Still, I'm interested to find out what would be involved, or if there are non-fibre options - not with the aim of profit, just providing more options for local people and businesses.
I'm quite intentionally trying to frame my post in a neutral way to avoid partisan assumptions/squabbles.

I have tried to use esbuild, and over the past 3 months I had at least a dozen times when it has compiled incorrect code that doesn't work or doesn't do what it's supposed to do. So despite the performance benefits, I was forced to go back to webpack, babel, and terser.

I know this is not directly relevant to this article, but I have a story about AI Dungeon.

I loaded it up with my (female) roommate a few months ago during the dark of the pandemic, and long story short, what ended up happening was this.

Our character had a AI man approach the door of their house with magic "love potion" berries. We tried to get our character to not eat the berries, but the AI "tricked us" into eating them. Then, no matter what choice we made, we had no way out. The AI forced us into a bedroom and raped our character.

We closed the laptop and haven't brought this up again.

When it first came out it was actually a pretty good tool to communicate, coordinate, and share things with your friends. Over time they monetized the platform until it no longer resembled anything useful, but it has too much inertia and keeps chugging along.
Accomplishing hard things internally is one problem: accomplishing the hard thing.

Doing the same as a consultant is two problems: (1) doing the hard thing & (2) finding the right internal people & getting necessary information out of them.

Consultants are better at (1) than internal teams, more often than not. (Excluding modern tech companies)

I have yet to be convinced that anyone is good enough at (2), that a more successful plan isn't avoiding it altogether

Precisely. Here in Prague, the subterranean geology is horrible. Broken rock, cavities, a lot of river deposits, unexpected (and rich) water springs. Not to mention a thick layer of shit dating from 1350 to approximately 1800 along a former ditch that separated the Old Town from the New Town and that served as a latrine for thirty generations of burghers.

Ask HN: At what point do benefits of monitoring tools outweigh the costs?
The costs of observability/monitoring are obviously primarily the cost of the labor to add/upkeep these tools and the standard costs of running them.

While the costs are more clearly defined, the benefits of these tools is much less clear.

I'm currently building an open source continuous profiling library (https://github.com/pyroscope-io/pyroscope) and trying to understand more about how people justify adding another observability/monitoring tool to their workflow.

For some it seems like there is some sort of quantitative cost-to-benefit analysis where ultimately a tool that produces net benefit should be added to the system.

For others, it seems the justification is less quantifiable in that some companies just err on the side of anything that produces a "better" understanding of underlying infrastructure should be added to the system.

How do you justify adding or not adding tools (i.e. logs, tracing, profiling, metrics, etc.) that add more visibility into your systems? And how do you determine how much you're willing to pay when weighing the costs vs the benefits?
Yes. Or even that someone reinvented computing. Or contact from an alien race. Are all more plausible than a deity. For a proof of God I would require something without in which it really is the most likely explanation, like a face appearing on a piece of toast

I'm not sure what you're basing that on. The Apollo 11 flight plan, available on the NASA website [1], shows LM jettison before TEI burn. That indicates that the LM was not needed for TEI. If for some reason the LM did not come back from the surface of the Moon, the CSM could still execute the TEI burn.
