Definitely the most creative use of ferrofluid I've seen for a long time. However I fear that long term you might have problems with the ferrofluid separating, emulsifying or oxidizing. It would be interesting if we got updates on how it holds up after a few weeks or months of use.

If so, that means they are OVERvalued.

Right, I forgot about both codePointAt and charCodeAt existing (the former being useful for what you are talking about, the latter what people used to have to deal with before ES2015).
As far as I know no. But there are also few so little democratic countries running around calling themselves democratic.
More sex-shaming, sex-negativity, puritanical fetishization of sex as a taboo. American media culture is so fixed on hypersexualized exploitation but the culture itself wags its finger at sexuality and actual sex as dirty and shameful while still having hookup culture. In other countries, sex, sexuality, sexiness, and nudity are no big deal and sometimes celebrated as part of being human. It seems like eBay is regressing in the direction of "conservative family values" imposed on everyone, like it would be with a Big Mother internet porn filter. Interestingly, Hollywood movies are gradually becoming more and more sanitized by Chinese censors so that they sell in that market.

Etsy and AliExpress better not follow suit.
I didn't include it because the SSA case that you describe isn't fully determined, it has 4 outcomes: one where the triangle is degenerate, one where a unique solution exists, but only if it's a right angle triangle, and in the third case there are two solutions, and it's not fully determined which one is "correct", because it's ambiguous

so, I wouldn't say it is fully determined! unless you presume specific side lengths and angles, which I didn't design this solver for. I've also never had a use case where I need to solve SSA triangles in practice so, shrug!
A cold war mentality is still pervading many Western sources, here even when the article itself does not have any inkling that physical safety of Solzhenitsyn was ever a cause for concern, the headline makes it so feeding a certain perception. The Soviet Union of the 1970s was not the Soviet Union of the 30s.

Solzhenitsyn was also a fierce critic of the West, and many who thought who would find him a pro-western voice was gravely surprised in his further commentary after coming to the west.

From his commencement address Harvard/78:

"Without any censorship, in the West fashionable trends of thought and ideas are carefully separated from those which are not fashionable; nothing is forbidden, but what is not fashionable will hardly ever find its way into periodicals or books or be heard in colleges. Legally your researchers are free, but they are conditioned by the fashion of the day. There is no open violence such as in the East; however, a selection dictated by fashion and the need to match mass standards frequently prevent independent-minded people giving their contribution to public life. There is a dangerous tendency to flock together and shut off successful development. I have received letters in America from highly intelligent persons, maybe a teacher in a faraway small college who could do much for the renewal and salvation of his country, but his country cannot hear him because the media are not interested in him. This gives birth to strong mass prejudices, to blindness, which is most dangerous in our dynamic era. There is, for instance, a self-deluding interpretation of the contemporary world situation. It works as a sort of a petrified armor around people's minds. Human voices from 17 countries of Eastern Europe and Eastern Asia cannot pierce it. It will only be broken by the pitiless crowbar of events."
> It's still the most actively developed ecosystem for cross platform apps. Don't believe me? See https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020

Riiiight, and quickly followed by Xamarin and Cordova. Lol.

Of course it is not dead in terms of usage. It is more "dead" for anything complex.

I'm looking from a perspective of a best experience, best performance and best integration. If your only reasoning is "we can't afford proper mobile developers" that's probably not the best pitch for a technical folk.

Even Facebook, creators of React Native don't use it.

> Moving such a mature company's codebase to bleeding edge tech is one of the stupidest decisions you can make. Is there some price to be paid to be in the future? I'm sure there will be, as there will be with any non native platform. Whether is will be a deal breaker is to be seen.

From what I have learned from running with various people, most people don't know how to properly breathe during running. At normal jogging pace, that's good for exercise, you can breathe at a very normal and steady pace. Once you have learned to do that, which is not necessarily easy, a lot of the difficulty of running disappears.

Except the boringness of it. There is no solution to it, except running in a large park or nature.
Extreme temperature change during night and day. You don't know the quality of the ground dust and its effect on your machines. It's extreme because of lots of unknowns.
Yeah -- I do agree with you, React Native is going to see the majority of the love.

I would like to point out that NativeScript works -- people mostly don't make buzz about it but it's out there powering apps that are delivering value, I've used it myself for a client and it was fantastic.

React Native is the superior solution only if you prioritize employability/traction/community (I disagree on documentation, NativeScript's documentation is excellent), but if you need to get an application out but are turned off by the React crazy-land and bad performance of React in a mobile context, give NativeScript a try, it's the better platform in a technical sense -- it has things React Native doesn't.
When developing, I primarily test in Firefox, then Safari, then Chrome.

I've found that if it works in Firefox and Safari, it'll almost certainly work in Chrome without tweaking.
>As someone who uses python a lot, I don't see the point.

Yeah, who would appreciate a doubling of speed, e.g. needing half the servers or serving non-cached responses faster, or their scripts finishing in half the time, and so on...

I mean, if there was tradeoff for the end-user sure, but as it is, I can't even understand the reasoning behind this comment.

>If you want speed, you need complete control, mainly over memory.

That I might be OK without the ultimate in speed (that I'd have with the above in C or Rust, etc.) does not mean I would not absolutely appreciate more speed in the things I use Python for now, especially if it came for "free" (e.g. not with Cython or having to wrap C extensions, etc.).

Would you be saying the same ("doesn't matter") if Python was instead made 2 times slower?

There is a big difference in that you can reference a single file/directory from a tree using the IPFS hash, which I don't believe it's possible in BitTorrent (v1). (it's not the same as torrent's partial download) As a side effect this does deduplication so multiple IPFS trees can share the same file improving availability (and provide cheap tree updates)

If you are someone who is active on Twitter, your thoughts about how important Twitter is are biased by your engagement with it. None of the actual people I know and talk to in real life harbor any sort of extremist views one way or another. Literally none of them ever mention Twitter in daily conversation. (And many of them are software devs.)

IMO their statements are amplified by things like national media because of their extremism; the extremism generates strong feelings (whether positive or negative), and strong feelings leads to more eyes on the media for longer. That doesn't mean the people consuming the media also have those extremist beliefs.

I can't say which outcome will be better but I do personally like China's way of buying their way in with money, roads, etc. better than the "old way" with selling guns to rebels, using CIA agents etc. I wish both would stop meddling in Africa though. Such a horrific history of greed. I'm curious how you see the difference though?
Quake-derived game died off because people use various kind of hacks (particularly aimbotting) and no kind of management for that was ever implemented.

So, getting good at any of those game means that sooner or later you'll start actually getting very very angry at people cheating.
You are welcome!

I'm quite astonished to not see more of such projects here, as there an elegant, efficient and interesting cross between aquaponics (and even hydroponics) and IT, as automation is key when it comes to lower labor costs and various risks. The whole domain (high-end food) is economically booming. Launching an experimental project isn't difficult nor expensive, and scaling up is possible. It comes as a fair mix of abstract-and-applied and also buy-or-build challenges, of work to do on a desk and also in the field... It also enables (partially) remote maintenance and expert-diagnostic. All this without any real philosophical tension (no user to lure or to spy on!). One may even avoid killing fishes, for example by raising ornamental species.

Last but not least such a project is satisfying because you design, create, maintain... you see it running, instead of working on a component of a component (...) of some huge abstract org.

Yeah a lot of it is context. I got the feeling from those articles that airbnb has some really strong platform specialists and if you already have two teams of people like that you can likely get more out of letting them focus on their respective platform.
This is a bit selfish view. I loved their controller, I love steam link allowing me to seamlessly play from any room (with whatever controller I want). I use Linux and think that vr is something everyone should try at some point. I know that you maybe couldn't care less about these things, but don't exacerbate the argument by saying "nobody".

Besides, cs started with 3rd party servers and have always been there. Many people have never transitioned to the official matchmaking and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

Basic nutrition, sleep and exercise aren't being fanatical about one's health. These are quite simple things which are nonetheless extremely difficult to learn if your childhood didn't set you up for those things (speaking from experience here). Meanwhile a "miracle cure" would be orders of magnitude more impactful I agree however it is many orders of magnitude less likely to occur. Therefore, I think you're wrong. In addition, I disagree with how you're framing these things as chores and purely in relation to life extension, these things improve quality of life and are good things to spend part of your life doing.

I appreciate your honesty, and sharing this may just save someone else from making a similar mistake with Upwork. So thank you.

Having read over this and a few other replies I would definitely say it would be worthwhile taking a step back now, don’t fall into the sunk cost fallacy and continue to burn through cash/time building things you think will help, spend a bit of time away from the keyboard, reading The Mom Test as others have suggested, it’s honestly a fantastic book, very actionable and probably won’t take you long to get through. That will put you in the right mindset for where you are in your journey and what you need to do next - which boils down to trying to validate some of your ideas, the correct way.

Finally you mention someone offering mentorship/advice, and you taking it, just be cautious with who you take advice from, the best person to take advice from is probably someone a few steps ahead of you, that means finding someone who may have just secured their very first bit of seed money as a solo/duo founding team, or an indiehacker who’s reached say $1000 MRR for a B2C app.

Good luck.
Fashion trends tend to work like this:

1. Someone does new thing, it looks stupid,

2. Others realise that even though it may look stupid, it looks new, so they copy it,

3. It's copied to the extent that if you don't do it, you look dated,

4. The stragglers do the thing too, and now it's not cool any more.

We're at stage 3 now with fade-in scrolling. When Wikipedia does it we'll be at stage 4 and then it will be cool to do whatever Wikipedia were doing 10 years ago.
I'm seeing about everything. From barely naked girls, to a golf course ball pickup employee, to handymen, to excavator operators, to 2nd hand fashion stuff, disabnled people talking about their diseases, and then just jokes.

Yeah, because Qt started in the early 90s, when UCS2 hadn't still fiascoed and it was being adopted in droves as the "newer" solution to all encoding issues - you simply swapped `char` for `wchar_t`, made a `w` version of every C and C++ IO function and that's it, right?

Sadly, it wasn't it. 16 bits weren't enough, and stuff like the fact a Unicode rune ≠ printed character (i.e. [è] can either be a single codepoints, or a combination of a [`] modifier and the latin letter [e]) meant there was basically no point in using 16/32 bit chars in the first place. When people really understood this it was almost the '00s, and stuff like Python, Windows, macOS (due to NextStep), Java, .NET, Qt were stuck. It's impossible to go back to plain `char` without annihilating backward compatibility, so everyone kept using it internally.

Fun fact, some of those languages and frameworks I mentioned never bothered switching completely to UTF-16 - for instance, Python now uses a weird mixture of ASCII and UCS2 internally.
Maybe a cultural difference considering I'm in Asia but in roughly 1/3 of the follow up interview I've experienced, the HR / manager mentioned there were other motivated candidates. Most of the times it came after I expressed I was hesitant after being low balled hard in term of income.
>> before fixing the quality of life first...

That sounds like whataboutism.

Many people are happy with the way they live their lives, except for the aging bit. Many social problems that affect quality of life are caused by aging, including the need for child birth (emphasis in need because some enjoy raising children), the need to care for aging parents, horrible health problems (and their associated financial cost), and even poverty--just check wealth distribution across age cohorts. Speaking of which, what's the point of working hard and saving, if when retirement comes one is already an old wretch?
Tiktok is full of girls dancing with very little or very tight clothes on for likes and attention. It's really seedy. There's subreddits dedicated to posting about these accounts.

On top of that it is designed to be addicting for the sake of addiction. It doesnt matter what the video is about once it will keep the user on the app. The algorithm will work out the perfect way for each person to be sucked in. We all know that these addicting videos won't be educational or even worthwhile. This type of stuff trends towards really useless content.

Of all the social media out there I would not let my kids use tiktok.

>compete with TSMC and other western chip factories

Is TSMC is a western company?
I don't have a source for you, but my understanding is that the main reason for the change is that very recent studies have shown that people with vaccines and asymptomatic "breakthrough" infections carry a much lower viral load + viral shedding than previously thought. So even those vaccinated people who may have an asymptomatic infection are really at an extremely minimal chance to spread it to anyone else; they just aren't shedding enough virus particles to make the risk high.
Startup Uses Deepfake of German Chancelor Merkel for TV Ad
I've started to get annoyed by the ads for Raid Shadow Legends and Squarespace, and the product placement is getting nuts.

I had someone the other day say they didn't think the tool was "sponsored" because the company lent it to them to try, in order to see if they'd use it enough to justify keeping it. Uh, yeah, that's totally sponsored, even if it's only lent.

Some of my usual Youtube channels now have 1 or 2 big stop-the-show ads that are unrelated to their content, and then multiple product placement moments that are incredibly obvious.

It's really taking away from the content of the shows.

I know they have to eat, and producing a lot of content is expensive, but I already pay for YouTube Premium to get rid of ads. And now the ads are infesting the shows anyhow.

Edit: I also support my favorite content producers on Patreon as well.
How comes the rest of the modern world does not have these issues you mention of people disappearing then we do not openly blame all of them with mugshots? Home comes the country with by far the most police brutality in the modern world thinks their system is working?

I honestly do not understand what mugshots have to do with anything at all. All I see is invading of these people's privacy if they want or not.
Pretty much everything is a raw material of the future. Even household waste has much higher concentrations of metals than most ore deposits.
HN is a place that now hates cryptocurrency and loves tiktok.. very curious!
>Oh wait, achieving native speed is close to impossible for a dynamically-typed language.

It's actually quite possible, and depends on the scenario.

A dynamically-typed language can analyse actual runtime type use and specialize function calls with a JIT, for example. It's also possible (and there's work in this area) to keep the specializations around for quick startup in the next runs... (and of course, drop them if they no longer hold).

That's how Javascript is much closer to native than Python - in some cases just 2-3 times slower than C. Lisp did very well too (better than more than a few static languages).

And that's with the extreme meta-programming / reflective behavior (which both Python and Javascript have). With less such, one could make a dynamic typing language that can be trivially JITed to run very close to native.
There is really nothing chilling about national media outlets getting a PR a few hours before the PR is made public. Promise.

The machines from ASML are just tools (very precise and high-tech tools, but still tools) for one step in the semiconductor fabbing process. They don't come with a manual describing the entire process, but are more like a software library: useless without a lot of infrastructure and process know-how and other tooling around them.

That's why TSMC still has a significant process advantage to other manufacturers, even though all of them are customers of ASML and able to afford the most advanced EUV lithography scanners.
Fun fact - your new word "aplkenabd" is a one-hit wonder on Google! What was it meant to say?
Because it's a niche language with a very small ecosystem.

Whereas Python has tons of libraries, millions of programmers, tons of support, tons of documentation and books, and billions of lines of existing codebases...
Isn't this a thing that naturally happens over time? I've never heard of anyone taking typing lessons, even among programmers.
