It's JavaScript. The REPL's code is evaluated by the page's JavaScript -- look directly in the page's source, there's an 'eval' call that evaluates the REPL's code.
They do, but most people get their flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, which makes determinations of risk based on data collected back in the 80s, and doesn't have premiums that cover the actual risk, which means it doesn't really dissuade people from building in flood areas.
Re: Georgism. I ran across the wiki article on this a few weeks ago (I only recall George as being an also ran candidate for NYC, like Roosevelt). There is utopian quote after utopian quote about both George the man and what Georgism could accomplish.

Basically, you tax land value (unincorporated) and therefore business/people are encouraged to pay for the most valuably located lots while still encouraging development elsewhere and to discourage land speculation. The modern version is land value tax.

I recently saw sama proposing what sounded a lot like it (though he didn't directly cite it as an influence) and it is certainly something that would be popular among the tech elite because another component of this is those taxes could theoretically fund UBI.

Houston does seem like one of the best places in the world to test this out (exploding population, tons of existing value, zoning laws) but in the progressive era when this was but one of a lots of idea trying to gain traction, it was ruled unconstitutional by the state.

It's something I'd love to see more discussion about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

Geoism seems to be the modern cultural correct identifier.
I'd very much like to revive my old code (which I still have) at some point and see how well it runs on modern computers. My guess is that a typical 64-bit ~3 GHz quad-core machine could accomplish the same task in a few minutes today.
While it's fair to criticize components of the exact zoning and regulations they have, you can take a lesson from this as an effective system and make adjustments as necessary. It's not perfect but better than the single-family zoning in a lot of cities causing massive sprawl and increased expenditure in roads for commuters.
And if it seems like a hill, you're just next to a huge ditch. Like this: https://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2012/october/Easement
This is quality advice! ;)
Huh, OK. So you're saying the $3m price included the many months of continued hosting and bandwidth in Yahoo's datacenter? Quite a bad deal for Verizon if so, especially accounting for routine hardware maintenance.
We don't need to buy beef from Brazil, and we ought not. It's nearly impossible to audit every meatpacking supply chain in a foreign country if the local government doesn't cooperate. JBS does business with American fast food companies, yet it repeatedly gets caught with its pants down in the Amazon.

Sanctions are supposed to provide a disincentive for otherwise incentivized behaviors, by using revenue as a pressure point to turn marginal returns negative for those bad behaviors. Deforestation is one of the most discoverable activities on the globe due to satellite imagery, so it would be easy to modulate sanctions in real time.

Trade is a two-party business, and there is no ethical reason to continue enriching businesses or countries that do bad things for money.

Looks like it's just directly `eval`ing vanilla JS
Does your comment imply that people who are out of work or on social security are better off renting? A property tax seems manageable like any other expense if you live within your means.
Perhaps they will place limits that stop you from operating your car when using your Apple device as a key
My highschool physically removed the right mouse button from the mice, because we were right clicking to make text files that we'd rename as batch files to get a command prompt open.

Some people would just bring their own mouse in to get past the defences.
I'm not sure "traditional" anti-vax history or ideology is particularly relevant to the specific matter of anti-covid-vax.

The vast majority of those who eschew the current efforts have no problem with the TDAP vaccines, etc.

It's almost entirely political, along with a mistrust of the experts and authorities who proclaimed, in March of last year, that masks are ineffective and that travel restrictions are racist.
Ask HN: Ways to train your mind to be faster at picking up concepts
Specifically I'm talking about say you're shown some new interface, CRM or something... it's all theoretical, has to be made. There's some concepts thrown in there, hierarchies and what not. I'm usually slow to pick up on it, as the guy to develop it. To get into the mindset of how it works and then know how it could be architected.

If I was asked a question on something I just saw I'd probably have already forgotten... I unfortunately am a rote-learn guy.

Someone will rattle off some process to me on the phone and yeah... these kind of scenarios. Way to train yourself... maybe puzzles idk. I do have really bad short term memory... I'll record a gif of something and in a couple seconds I've forgotten what it was about.
Agreed. I’ve seen Levels Health in their recruiting process do this and some founders in pitch decks.
Not their model. https://www.wsj.com/articles/for-apollos-new-ceo-insurance-i...
Probably higher. I'm not saying I'm struggling, I'm just trying to get some push back on property taxes and how toxic they are. When I was laid off the taxes are a huge burden. I have a mortgage that fixed for 30 years, but property taxes keep going up every year.
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates are splitting up
Though something to point out that this project misses is that UUID sorting is its whole own weird can of worms. I just went through this exercise trying to get ULID to GUID conversion/round-tripping that matched MS SQL Server's GUID sort order in hopes for the benefits of those small, pleasant properties.

In short, because SQL Server's sort order is based on GUID/UUID v1, the "group" that matters most significantly for sort order (in SQL Server, but other GUID tools are different) is the tail 6 bytes (not the head bytes as these FUUIDs are using which would allow them to sort in unix sort in GUID form). (As the tail 6 bytes are the "machine ID" in v1 UUIDs.)

For anyone curious how deep (and which endian) the rabbit hole goes in GUID sorting, I kept referring to Raymond Chen's somewhat comprehensive description of GUID sort orders across Microsoft products in my efforts: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20190426-00/?p=10...
If you mean it can tell you when to drive, I know that it doesn't matter how much alcohol you have in your system, you can always get nailed for a DUI. It might be easier to prosecute with the numerical value being over the legal limit, but even if you're under the limit, the police can still argue you're too drunk to drive.
We used a dishwasher for ~20 years. It wasn't even broken when it was given away (it's still working at someone's home).

When it was leaving home its insides were spotless and odorless. It was still cleaning as good as its first day. Home appliances have long lives with proper yet minimal maintenance.

BSH group's appliances are pretty solid. Miele as various people written here is generally fussy, and they don't live longer than a properly cared Bosch or Siemens, yet their tolerances are lower.

Dad sold these things when I was little. Never sold Miele because he didn't wanted to sell headache to people.
This reminds me of a funny story that happened to me as I was looking to buy some new clothes. I ventured into a mens clothing store in the city centre of the town I lived in. A happy salesman welcomed me and we got on our way looking at different jackets.

Just a little while later, the salesman came up to me and said something in the lines of "don't worry we know what men wants, nice fit looking clothes with lots of pockets".

It made me chuckle and I ended up later buying several items from that store. He was a good salesman but that sentence really made me realize that this is what this is about.

Men WANTS pockets and women seems to not care about it as much in general. Men REQUIRE pockets or else we don't buy the clothes and that is the key reason why womens pockets are useless.

EDIT: I am not saying that every woman don't care about pockets. I just think it's a reasonable explanation that most of women don't care enough to not buy the clothes. I think women tend to value other stuff higher than the amount of pockets or how functional they are.

Don't just downvote people for sharing a friendly, alternate explanation. This is not reddit.
Scientific American Admits It: Covid Made Flu ‘Disappear’
On that note, I'd like to share a clip about how fast modern machines are relative to early 90s supercomputers (the relevant part is in the first 5 minutes):

Was hoping they used super-resolution magic to scale up the image.
Installing software blessed by the father, the son, and the holy ad-hoc signing key of a dev account is not equivalent to installing an alternative OS on your iDevice. Especially if the key can be revoked at any time. The local(over-usb) signing key has a O(week) limit before it expires and can also be revoked at any time.

The boat-loader is locked down, without an exploit, you can't unlock it. No legitimate reverse engineering is going to grant you access to a low level signing key.

That is a restriction on "whatever I want" and quite a few other things.
Yes, many have found good success with putting a minor bit of UI state into the "mostly pure" view components. It works well until some other part of the app needs to uncheck the checkbox due to some new business requirement. This is why I usually provide a nice default "useCheckbox" hook in the same file as the pure Checkbox component.
You can tautologically say that living there is more attractive than cities with population stagnation, but not that it's a better urban design. Would the current built Houston still be growing if the energy industry were in a different region? Doubtful.
Is that supposed to make it less unreasonable to jail people for it?
About 9,245 Americans Tested Positive for Covid-19 After Vaccination; 132 Dead
The web is broken. Someone's website wouldn't scroll (I don't remember the details, and I don't think I wanted to find out --- maybe it was overflow: hidden, but it could've been something else), and the only way I could figure out to deal with it was to open up the devtools responsive design mode and pretend the screen was bigger than it was so that the full page could show, and then use the browser's scrollbar from within that view.
My wife went out of town for 5 days and I _tried_ to take care of my 4 kids while working my FT job. I somehow managed to work 3/4 time just barely by working before they woke up and after they went to bed, and was mostly able to keep the kids fed, clean, and semi-entertained. It was not sustainable, not by a long shot, and I'm not a founder or co-founder.
The fact that nothing does this makes me wonder how it would be possible apple could be first. Surely if it was possible to do accurately, some other company would have released something.
Could be something else. The wikipedia page on this technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noninvasive_glucose_monitor) mentions “bioimpedance spectroscopy, microwave/RF sensing, fluorescence technology, mid-infrared spectroscopy, near infrared spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, optical polarimetry, raman spectroscopy, reverse iontophoresis, and ultrasound technolog“

That page also claims there isn’t any clinically or commercially viable product yet. That seems out of date to me, given that https://www.labiotech.eu/best-biotech/needle-free-glucose-mo... mentions 8 devices you can buy now.
Yeah it’s an amazingly simple approach. I did it in a house i renovated, the building inspected tried to stop me as he wasn’t familiar with the system and thought it would actually allow radon in. Turns out he had a family member die from lung cancer and they believed they was a possible link. I expect at some point it’ll be part of most modern building codes where there is a basement connecting to a living space.
> The real question to me is: is the Pentagon actually taking the possibility of alien visitors seriously or are they using aliens as a cover for drones that have been able to infiltrate US airspace?

Are they doing either? They literally say they are investigating "unidentified" phenomena, as in ones they haven't identified yet. Everyone seems very careful to not involve alien life.
This is pretty fun. Reminds me of a bookmarklet I have somewhere that makes a self-editable webpage.

The only suggestion I have would be to make the right textarea non-editable, although I don't know how to do so while keeping selectability

I genuinely don't understand this comment or the reason for writing it as a hook or a separate component in the article

Why wouldn't you just write it as a function with data and context being passed through as arguments? Isn't it much simpler to write a pure function and test that function than render a component and test it? If you simply write a function that accepts the locale, the string and context, does the translator magic and returns the translated text, would you not then just need to write a unit test simply to make sure you're getting the expected output? Why the abstraction into hooks and then further into a separate component that you then have to render?
Even if it’s accuracy was not that great, say <25%, 25-75%, and >75% of legal limit would still be useful to know as some places have heavy handed bartenders, were you could end up with more than your expecting if you are counting drinks.

Even having crude data will let me know how fast various formats of alcohol are uptaked and processed out so if I have a drink with friends, I would know ahead of time if I should take transit vs walk in park after and then drive or stick to alcohol-free drinks (most people I know are cross town in a way public transportation is not cheap/quick but a car is).

Edit: I do use a breathalyzer on myself now, but they are annoying to take samples, and are not super accurate either
Hope it doesn't end up like Google's blood glucose monitoring contact lens but very likely it will
I would regard this as "common" knowledge but it's great to see empirical data backing it up in a pretty cool presentation.
This illustrates the issue (IMO) at the heart of all of these discussions:

Is personal ownership of land like other property ownership (like a chair), or is it somehow different? To what degree does society at large retain some ownership rights to all land, and a say in how it should be used?
Yep, guess I don't need to comment before my morning coffee.
I don't see why one would actually have a kid just to avoid that question. I don't really see that question come up that much.
CoSell.io | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | Austin or Remote

Hey HN, I'm Andrew, Cofounder & CTO at CoSell.

CoSell is a new startup helping companies do collaborative sales. Here's one way to think of it: imagine if LinkedIn actually worked. What if you could easily find people who genuinely need the product or service you sell, and then get personally introduced via your network of colleagues and partners? That would make it a lot easier to grow most businesses, right? That's the opportunity we're chasing.

I'm looking for a senior full-stack or back-end leaning engineer who can be a technical anchor for our engineering team. The ideal person would have a lot of experience building web applications and an interest in a high-responsibility, high-autonomy role with a chance to help shape the product and the company.

Our stack is Ruby + Rails + Postgres with a web standards front-end.

Shoot me an email if you're interested! andrew[at]cosell[dot]io.

I do not consider it valuable to try to reason about fuzzy matters using only edge cases. It's not a matter of ability, but of value.
dark.fail used to host up-to-date links to many major darknet sites hosted on the tor network. The attacker kept the site online with minor changes and now anyone who visits these links will have the connection go through MITM proxies and their credentials stolen. It's difficult to understand why namecheap hasn't at least shut down the domain after days of this going on.
> Translation and i18n of text is really just a function - send text in, get text out. Why would you ever put it in a hook, let alone a component?

One concrete reason: if the language is user-configurable, you can avoid an additional argument at the call site by putting that data in a context.

>I've voted blue my whole life, but that doesn't mean I'm going to remain silent while dumb conspiracy theories with no evidence are weaponized to drive voter turnout. There are real world consequences to weaponizing misinformation, including the undermining of trust in systems of government.

It's hopeless. I've also tried to point out the logical flaws in peoples' USPS conspiracy theories (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24290622), with little success. It's just as hopeless to tell people that Congress forcing the USPS to prefund pensions was a) bipartisan and b) a good thing, as opposed to yet another GOP anti-USPS plot.
Because that's what women buy. It's not some conspiracy where clothing companies are making something women don't want, suppressing their own sales. If GAP et al could sell more clothing with bigger pockets, they would in a heartbeat. If you think an entire industry is wrong, you should start a clothing line or become a fashion designer to tap an untapped market.

I’ve been struggling to find a right fit since the pandemic began. I ran Cognizant Accelerator’s cloud and devops practice for several years. Standardizing how products are deployed and scaled on AWS. I have over 15 years software engineering experience (still have side projects too) and love to code, to lead, to mentor, and build people up. Folks under me have gone on to Twitter, Slack, Google, etc from the experience they have gained. Incubators, accelerators, product-centric orgs are my thing.
Tell that to investors in Fitbit or Palantir (for example) before they sold off after having good "momentum". Crypto investors don't even understand crypto, but that doesn't mean anything, because you can be left holding a long term bag whether you understand the underlying asset or not.
Counter-Mapping
What's "elegant" about putting it in a React Context? Outside of initial configuration, it's a stateless function. Just chuck it in a separate module and have some initialisation code. Nothing about it demands that it live in the component tree.
I wonder if a place like Houston would experience pretty dramatic shifts in culture as a result, particularly around the usages of cars and transit. IIRC, there are parking lots everywhere in Houston. A LVT would presumably make putting in denser uses more valuable or drive up the cost of parking. A lot in Downtown would surely bring in more rent as offices/housing/retail than just a surface lot.

But then this applies pressures to those who commute in single occupancy vehicles, reduces the amount of available parking, and generally makes the downtown less desireable for those in the suburbs.

To me, this is what we should be doing -- making driving into city centers for work quite unpalatable relative to transit -- but I wonder if Texas is culturally ready to even consider a change like that.
Nix can do this for basically anything - even python scripts with all their dependency modules, binary extensions and all dynamic lib dependencies, packed up into a single .nar file.

nix-shell can even be used as a shebang-line for scripts: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#use-as-a-interpreter
A quick lookup for CPU speeds of yesteryear shows the Motorola 68040 in those macs did about 35 MFLOPS [1].

If you could parallelize this program to use all 2.6 TFLOPS in a Macbook Air M1's 8-core GPU, you're seeing about 75,000x speed improvement. So a 12 hour "overnight" job may take just over half a second.
