This is the way almost all RFID systems I have used work, including Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Bangkok, Hangzhou, and the SF bay area.

The RFID cards, however, are far more durable than the flimsy MetroCards that NYC uses.

I keep all the cards from cities I visit though, since more often than not I end up passing through the city again within a few years. Some cities' cards unfortunately expire and eat all your balance, while others keep them for 10+ years.

It's really nice though to just land at an airport and be on your way in minutes without fumbling and getting in line.

On another hand I kind of miss the subway tokens that Boston used to use a long time ago. One of the advantages of tokens is that they are very much like NFTs in that if you have a token, it is a promise of a ride, any time, now or in the future. So you could also use them as an investment vehicle by buying 1000 of them, and the transit agency gets 1000 * (fare price) in liquid cash upfront that they can use to scale their infrastructure and make upgrades, while you can re-sell those tokens at a profit 4 years later. Or if you were arriving in Boston for college, you could buy enough transit ride tokens for 4 years upfront, if you were smart. Unfortunately with the RFID systems they don't usually pay dividends or interest on the balance on the card.
As a user, I might not change the config because:

* I don’t know there’s a config at all

* I know there’s a config, but I don’t know enough about fonts to make a good choice

* Most sites override my config anyways (unless I chose an even more aggressive config that breaks websites), so why would I care?

* The idea of some site specifying a font does not bother me, even if it’s a web font that will cause an extra 25kb of download.

For what it’s worth, I really like fonts and know my way around the Firefox config, but I honestly do not care enough to change the default font because of the last two items on that list.
Applications aren't special.

There are a couple of exceptions for interfaces that are genuinely unconventional, or that deal with multiple spacial dimensions, or that are primarily representing graphs and visual/audio data. But most interfaces should be representable in pure text.

This argument that "the web is only for documents" is missing the point that most applications are just interactive documents when you really break down their UI. A labeled tree is a fine way to represent user-facing state for most apps, and most apps would benefit from exposing a more semantic interface to users that was easier for them to manipulate and read programmatically.

A short post that would help you level up your 1:1s. Two things to consider after the meeting ended as a good sign of time well spent, if you aim to focus on growth versus status update: (1) Do you feel that both of you are feeling more motivated and energized? (2) What did you two learn about the company (strategy, mission, etc.) and each other? (4min)
Actually the opposite: you would expect courts to toss out (and/or: opposition to successfully challenge) all evidence unless chain of custody is guaranteed.

That's a very important part of "innocent till proven guilty".

Your suggestion flips this around, thus leading to "guilty till proven innocent". Perhaps that is how things stand in practice in the USA. I don't think that that is how things should be.

If I change title or create another note then it's written horizontally.

So far your "non black and white thinking" is "everything React has was done better befroe React, but I can't show anything to prove this except some disparate things that are both complex and esoteric, and I can also go on a prolonged discourse about how some developers don't use frameworks and may have done things a la React before React".
Yeah, agreed. For me 'easier' meant making some scripts that build my personal site.

I wrote (well, I mostly combined) [eslint-formatter-pretty-summary ](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-formatter-pretty-summar...).

I really enjoy writing stuff like this that makes my day at work easier. There were formatters for a full summary, and there were pretty formatters for all errors. But we had so many warnings in eslint that it polluted the list of errors.

So now you get summary information for the warnings, and full (and pretty) information for the errors.

"If Harvard stopped looking at grades and sat scores and instead just picked 400 people at random the degree would be worthless."

This would not be the case if either:

A. There are high standards for graduation, OR

B. Attending Harvard for 4 years makes you more capable.

If you're suggesting that 400 applicants picked at random would all graduate, then maybe the standards need to be raised. If the degree signals only that you were good enough to get in, then the 4 year gap between matriculation and graduation seems like waste.

> mining reward is tending to zero by design

The schedule matters. It’s good that the block reward will be cut in half soon, but why do we have to wait four years for it to happen again? There’s no particular reason to believe that Nakamoto would choose to spend 10x Google on electricity if they were choosing a schedule today.

The schedule stays the way it is because miners like money and changing the consensus is hard, not because it’s a good idea.

And so, the only way to drop electricity spending is to make the price crash. The much easier option of changing a parameter in the software is eliminated because of the impossibility of getting a consensus to do it.

This is what happens when you remove centralized decision making.

Please see my latest relevant comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27171906

The reason I call touch typing the proper technique is that it does very good in terms of both wpm, accuracy, comfort, teachability and time of mastery. That's why it is more popular than all other nameless techniques. So until there is a technique that does better in all those terms on average, I think it's not the biggest crime to call it "the proper technique". If you don't like it, call it mainstream, popular, whatever.[1] It's the technique every ambitious typist needs to start with at this age (Unless they are already very good). Because as far as I know there is no better technique that is teachable at this time.

As to the guitar comment; there are so many guitar methods. Everybody picks one or another. People who try to learn the thing without help from any techniques / methods won't have high chances of being successful in a reasonable amount of time. (I'm a musician too.) If we agree on the benefit of a technique, when we apply this to typing we naturally come to touch typing. Because as far as I know it is the only documented and teachable typing technique. I'll be happy to be proven wrong. I've been looking for an alternative technique, but couldn't find any until now.

Everybody likes to bash touch typing saying that they have their own special technique they developed over the years that outperform touch typing, but I don't see how this is relevant. We cannot expect everybody to develop their own perfect typing technique over the years when there is already a tried & tested technique available.

In short, what I'm saying is, name a "more proper" technique, and I will shut up. Personal and obscure "techniques" that are not teachable don't count.

[1] And your philosophical argument doesn't really make sense. Yes, touch typing is a human construct. If we can't call it "proper" just because it was invented by humans, then we are in trouble. I didn't call it "proper" because I was implying that it was a gift from the gods. I called it that because there are a lot of indicators that it is the most proper thing that we have available at the moment.
I'm not the only developer but I made (and still make) GoJS, an interactive diagramming library for the web.

https://gojs.net

Most of its popularity is with large companies building their own internal tools where they need diagramming visualization capabilities (layouts, save/load, undo/redo, data binding, etc). So you won't see it too often in the wild, but under the surface it's used in every industry.

I love it, and I love HTML Canvas, which I wish was more popular.

I kind of got the same feeling about transitioning to PipeWire just a few years after PulseAudio got things working, but other than that, IMO it's not like things are being radically changed that often, let alone every release.

The last time OSS was relevant on Linux was like 20 years ago.

20 years ago the latest Windows release was Windows 2000. Windows XP hadn't been released yet. OS X for the desktop had just been released. They don't look or act nearly the same now either. Is "what's wrong with {windows,mac} desktop" that they're not the same they were 20 years ago?

It feels like yesterday, but 20 years really is quite a long time. If thinking back to the early 2000's isn't enough, just think of what happened with desktop computing in the 20 years that preceded that.

I don't know much about ALSA but I've got the impression that it's significantly lower level than PA or PW. Maybe we could get by with just ALSA, but I'm honestly not sure it could be brought up to reasonable feature parity without either making it much more complex (and perhaps not suited for the kernel), or without accruing significant tech debt due to building new features on a foundation that isn't suited for them.

Also, I haven't used KDE in a long time but Gnome 40 was the first time there was a major-ish overhaul to the desktop since the early Gnome 3 days. That was also around 10 years go. Everything in between was mostly iterative changes.

Within those 10 years, Windows went through 8, 8.1 and 10.

Their argument: Bitcoin isn't bad. Energy production is bad because it's not carbon-free.

This is the classic "guns don't kill people" argument. Yes, guns wouldn't be bad if they were being sold in a perfect world with no murder. Bitcoin wouldn't be bad if we had perfect energy production with no environmental cost. But that's not the world we live in!

"Bitcoin doesn't cause carbon emissions. Energy production causes carbon emissions."

that's arguable, the encapsulation web components affords is built into the system and simply being exposed by way of this bucket of technologies

This, so much. Every branch or decision point in either the domain model/flowchart/spec/etc or implementation should be carefully considered. This applies doubly so to error handling. Also, try to make the code paths look like or at least be recognisable by the spec. Try to keep one mental model of what happens that the team all share.
"might counter hack even, but since it's a defense to being hacked in the first place, it shouldn't illegal. "

Perhaps it shouldn't be illegal, but as of now it very definitely is illegal. There are no 'self-defence' clauses in current computer security laws, and any "counter-hack" is exactly as illegal as an equivalent "direct-hack", it literally does not matter if you did it as a defense.

Could you elaborate on what power it give? After working on several projects in a golang monorepo, it's exceedingly weak at modeling, which results in verbose code that is also thin - meaning that it takes a lot to write to say a few things. You can see the for loops and if conditions in front of you, but it's difficult to extract the underlying logic its trying to convey.

The code bases were a complete mess to work on, and even new projects are suffering because of it - no lessons learned can fix it because the language is so weak.
I think this is one of those things that teachers tend to make a big deal out of that doesn't matter too much in real life communication.

It's not unusual in Chinese for someone to structure a meandering sentence like "let's go for a run ba, next Monday hao bu hao, around noon we can meet ne, just us two a, there is a nice track, it's my house nearby de yige, what do you think?"

The sentence order is more important when you already have all the information up-front and you are trying to describe it to someone. So if you have three different runs and someone asks "which run?" then you might say "the just us two next Monday at noon my house nearby de track de nage run". Or drop everything but the last de: "us two next Monday at noon my house nearby track de". In reality, that's a bit of a weird thing to ever need to say, you'd probably just say "next Monday at noon de". Or "my house nearby track de". But if you did say "nage track de nage, my house nearby de nage track, next Monday at noon de, just the two of us going ba, nage run, you know ma", you would be understood too.

Personally i think getting the tones right is the most important part of being understood in Chinese. Some Chinese may pretend not to understand you if you get the formal grammar "wrong", but that often comes across to me as a condescending form of ingrained elitism, because it doesn't happen when you talk to working class or poorly-educated Chinese. Much like in English, as long as the general pronunciation (including tones) is recognizable, you should be able to communicate your intent. It won't get you passing grades if you have to write an essay, but if you just want to talk to people on the street, I think focusing on tones and the small sounds that give contextual hints about what you're saying (ma, ne, ba, a/ya, nage/nege, yige, de etc) is a better investment.
