I'm of mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, it sure is hard to read. On the other hand, in small doses I kind of enjoy it after the super sanitized corporate nothingness most of the web has become now. One glance at this page and there is zero doubt in my mind that it represents the genuine expression of an actual human without layers and layers of forced censorship and editing by some "platform." The web was never supposed to have "platforms" in the first place: Youtube/Facebook/Twitter etc are all fundamentally rent-seeking parasites in a way most people don't even appreciate today.

The web was supposed to just be a place anyone could put up a document with some links to other documents. Cheap, simple, easy, fast. Then some services cropped up to help make some of the frustrating parts easier and quicker, and eventually the "services" ended up eating the web alive.
Yup, just like what happened to ebay back in the day. Or Etsy.
That’s perfect. That’s exactly how I felt about nice notebooks and that’s why the digital version is so much better for me. The freedom to erase and reorganize removes that anxiety.
nothing wrong with the tool, the issue is with the comments that exist and those that don't.

getFoo() does not need a comment.

if it does, (it shouldn't) and its JavaScript, JSDoc is a fine format.

if getFoo() does need a comment, consider changing the code so it doesn't.

Code is read much more often than its written: so be concise.

If the docs can be automated by a simple tool, by definition, they were not necessary.
>even for gaming.

Gaming is quite possibly going to be an issue. Proton has made great strides, but some games just don't work well or at all.
I mostly agree with you, but there are certain cases where you’re making weird and non-intuitive performance optimizations and have to explain “the what”.
I know, she didn’t even wait the customary 5 year grieving period after your husband starts carrying on a very public affair with dick pics and everything.
> Faster than local dev: Because it runs entirely within the browser, server responses have less latency than localhost.

Next.js Live seems very impressive, but this marketing line is scaring me off. It’s hard to imagine that running your app in webassembly within the browser has a measurable reduction in latency vs running on localhost. If anything, I would expect it to be slightly higher because of the overhead of interpreting/compiling wasm, and the slight performance hit of wasm vs native code.
If you're compiling hand tuned assembly, -march and -mtune probably will have more effect when compared to compiling and optimizing C/C++ code.

OTOH, I'd like to underline that heavily optimized scientific code and libraries are neither naive (in terms of algorithmic complexity/implementation) nor straightforward :D

E.g.: This is how Eigen configures its internal vectorization parameters:

> One thing that AJE will show is the conflict from the Palestinian side, which is not something western media shows. They will show actual towns and cities in the west bank and Gaza, the israeli settlements which are what are actually causing the flareups in violence. There may not be a neutral source available - reuters and the AP have a pretty consistent bias of rarely mentioning settlements or evictions.

I'm not saying that sort of thing isn't valuable or important, just that showing the suffering of one side in a conflict is not neutral reporting.

And to be clear, not everything should be neutral reporting. Understanding the struggles that the Palestinian people face is very valuable. Its just a different sort of thing than a neutral report on the situation in the area.

Re characterization of the conflict:

I'm not sure i agree with your characterization, although i do agree that most of the time religion is an excuse for secular geopolitical ends. Regardless i'm not sure it matters for the main point of this argument.

> If you work hard, you will be successful

Unless you were born to neglecting parents or went to a shitty school or learned the wrong major (arts major anyone?) or chose a low paying job (schoolteachers in the house?) or had something bad happen to your health or a million other possibilities. Or maybe your parents are super cool, the school was nice but your cognitive abilities are just not right for the high paying jobs (most high paying jobs require high cognitive abilities like finance, software, medicine) and you are working as a car mechanic (don't get me wrong, it's an awesome career but not likely to be viewed as "successful" the same way you mean it).
Actually the equation "work hard = success" is quite ridiculous. Do you think Uber drivers don't work hard? Shop clerks? Construction workers? Nurses ? Teachers ? Where is this idea even coming from?
Not sure why you got downvotes, but this is spot on. It also happened with Uber and taxicabs!
The culture we lost — Secretary of State Henry Stimson refuses to endorse a code-breaking operation, saying, "Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail."

Stimson was a moron. Sure, being polite and respectful of other people's mail/privacy is a socially responsible thing to do, but if EVERYBODY else is reading other people's mail, then it puts you at a serious disadvantage when you choose not to.
I love Hindenberg reports. Their 'releases' are more exciting than most things I can think of.
I did buy the little ( boox poke 3) and the big boox note air, mainly to do some reading and drawing on the go.

What I also used it for during the lockdown was to switch it for the tablets my kids use to control their screen time (not so much fun in black and white) while allowing them to listen to music and audio books...

I like this trend also because I observe myself using the device different than my mobile or tablet... I am just starting out but I think it definitely has a niche to fill.

If you're reading this article and live in the US, you should really consider enrolling in the All of Us research study:

It's planned to be a 10 year longitudinal cohort study, where they're regularly collecting samples and measurements to be used to try to advance things like precision medicine. Your contribution can help continue doing studies like this and many many others :)
I'd agree that a basic mapping of SSID name to approximate location is a bit useless on its own, but it can be combined with other information to narrow down your physical location.

Geographically speaking, how were those SSID's distributed? Were they spread all around the world, across the continent, or were they all in the same city?

For example, if your home SSID was known and those 216 SSID's were spread around the world, your home could likely be narrowed down based on some general facts from forum posts. "You spell honor with a U! You often complain about the rain on the forums, and those posts came from that ISP's IP block! According to the public coverage maps for that ISP in that English-speaking country that uses British spellings, your wireless network overlaps with this side of the street, give or take 30m. Let's check it out!"

Paranoid fantasy? I truly hope so.
Right? The only time someone has weekly crashes is bad drivers or bad hardware. I had multiple-months uptime on my Win7 machines and it only wasn't longer because I would reboot for whatever non-essential reason.
Oh I wish I could go back. I remember that these were used a lot for Affiliates links in the sidebar, if you had a niche website. Then, they evolved to a 88x16 size, or at least that's what I remember.

most useless comment on HN of the year award?
I do this. Todo items that pop into my head, little notes about ongoing projects. Things I want to remember or process but aren't an immediate task.

Later in the day when I pull them out, many do get trashed. Lots of Todo items never make it to my digital Todo list because my brain processed them mostly in the background during the day. I find the physical nature of the cards means I can't avoid that processing step. The times I revert back to digital first, my notes end up everywhere (I input them in the fastest way, rather than finding the right place) and immediately begin rotting because now I have remember and force myself to condense and organize rather than it occurring naturally.

SigLA – The signs of Linear A: a paleographical database
This paper is an old favorite of mine. It shows how to transform a program that computes the value of a multivariate function into a program that computes that value and all of its first derivatives. The resulting program requires at most 7x more instructions as the original. Spoiler: it's just the rules of differentiation, and the constant 7 comes from the quotient rule.

You described my problem so well. I have aspirations to be the sort of person that makes stuff like this: https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniecristea/14-study-notes-tha...

But I don't and I won't because that's just not how I work however much I'd like to. And that's OK. In fact, it's good to accept that about one's self.

Now that I know I have ADHD, I at least have an explanation why my desire to be something I'm not has always failed, but even without the diagnosis, we all have our personality quirks that mean that certain things just won't work for us. It's nice to have beautiful notebooks to give away as presents for other people though. :-)
There are a lot of positive anecdotes in threads like this because, shock of shocks, a field which is well known for having people get into it because of obsessive interest-chasing in their teen years is also dominated by people who fit the diagnostic criteria of ADHD, and also shock of shocks, medication known to help people with those criteria tend to help a lot of people in that field.

This post is just conspiracy thinking. You're far more likely to find people dissuading you from accepting an ADHD diagnosis in your life than people encouraging you. Even doctors don't really like to give a diagnosis of it unless you really clearly fit into a particular hyperactive bucket.

>1979: Afghanistan — The Soviets invade Afghanistan. The CIA immediately begins supplying arms to any faction willing to fight the occupying Soviets. Such indiscriminate arming means that when the Soviets leave Afghanistan, civil war will erupt. Also, fanatical Muslim extremists now possess state-of-the-art weaponry. One of these is Sheik Abdel Rahman, who will become involved in the World Trade Center bombing in New York.

The US literally armed its own enemies.
You right, we don't handle fitting at the moment. It's difficult bc most e-commerce don't have diverse body shape model and many other reasons. We are working on it, will take some time for sure.
Some people here seem confused why SSR is not the optimal solution for heavy web apps, so let me explain.

Such web apps can be downloaded to the client the first time you open the page, and after that (basically every day), caching strategy makes sure you don't have to download that thing again.

Which means you only need to transfer pure data at that point, and you can have a very responsive web page.

SSR rendering on the other hand, you will get some kind of PHP website (OK, this is exaggerated, but you get the point). Requests go back to the server, and the server renders the page. Totally ludicrous.

SSR: for landing pages, SEO optimization, showing the same page to a lot of users, etc.

CSR: for heavy apps that you use regularly, basically "real" applications, not web pages.
To me this is just the conflict of interest just kicking in. Next is not built as rails, Django, Vue, etc... Next is a part of their business.

Don't believe it? Just look at the telemetry "feature". Try to disable it...something that should be just a config in next.config.js is a convoluted trap which will only disable it on your machine and you need to remember to disable it everywhere, etc...

As with Facebook (well, not that bad, but still...).Next isn't free.
For the average person this might be kind true, however I can think of at least three places where desktop computers are very much cultural and symbolic:

* “Gamers” or other enthusiasts with their battlestations [1]

* Finace workstations with many monitors and Bloomberg terminals [2]

* Potentially musician workstations as well [3]

Any other niche ideas?

If the company is reducing salary based on the employee's cost of living, it seems more fair for the employee to bill based on the cost of a desk or an office in NYC.

The point of this kind of post is a counter-voice to the "Hey guys! Linux is desktop-ready now and so much better!" That might be true for some people. It hasn't been true for me every time I've tried out Linux, and I've been giving various flavors a shot since RedHat 2. And trying to find help or documentation for troubleshooting problems in Linux can be an absolute nightmare because of the million flavors and versions of linux and the chains of dependency for all of the different installations. If one person gets lazy (or is on vacation or dies) and doesn't update one specific part of a dependency chain, everything falls apart and good luck finding someone who is having the same problem who documented it in a way that google can bring you to.

I'm happy Linux "just works" for you, but that hasn't been my experience.
You could find benefits for your life without a formal diagnosis:
- you might learn that some traits are not your personal moral failures but just symptoms of underlying physical condition that you can workaround. There are other people like you
- you can learn tricks from other people who identify with similar symptoms(tricks such as alarms, schedules, tight feedback loops , running/lifting weights that may increase productivity)

Even I f you don’t have the diagnosis, most tricks may improve your life (the difference being: if you have the condition, you have to do many of them just to function at any level).
Isn't this a PII? According to GDPR, wouldn't they need a justification for storing it? (informed consent, business reason, etc.)

They had a huge stink on this some years ago when 'some random engineer decided to add it to Google Maps sniffing'.. and now it's opt-out?

I must say I'm surprised.
With respect either you left out some major details or you have a skewed perspective of what it means to be "doing ok." My position matches what you stated almost exactly (low 6 figures, single, childless, 17 year old Toyota) and I'm doing _very_ well. I bought a house last year, max out my 401k and Roth IRA contributions with additional savings on top, have a decent emergency fund, paid off my student loans five years early...

I'm not trying to brag, but a single person making six figures should be doing quite well anywhere in the US. I really suggest sitting down and carefully tracking how you spend money for a month or two to find out where it's going.
Design is both a linear progression and an infinitely looping circle/pendulum. Things were really free and organic at first. People got frustrated with this, and rising tech companies gave them "clean, modern" design instead. It was embraced because it was easier on the eyes, and faster to use in general. But now I think there's a growing resentment toward the "clean, modern" look, because it's simplified every drop of soul and humanity out of digital interfaces and expression. The pendulum will probably start to swing in the other direction soon.
Facebook Oversight Board Selects First Policy Advisory Opinion Request to Review
My roommate, who was hired for disaster response at Airbnb at the beginning of covid (January) was thought by us to be un-layoff-able due to her important role. months of her working 12 hour days go by, and she ends up laid off in the mass lay off that Airbnb did around June.

I saw how hard she worked. I saw how important her role was, and they threw her aside. AirBnB is a disaster when it comes to anything involving safety, health, or disaster response.
I was rather ill at the end of February 2020 (UK). Bad cough, full body aches, fatigue, high fever yet feeling chilled at the same time, and I twice woke up and was shaking enough to throw my phone across the room when I tried to check the time. It left me with a lingering question of whether I'd had Covid-19, particularly as it was just after a trip to London, though it seemed very unlikely given the low number of confirmed cases.

I _actually_ got Covid-19 (confirmed PCR) in October 2020, and was significantly more ill (ICU), so it seems to confirm the first illness was something else.
Ya know... I've sort of taken the stance of "if they aren't hurting me or others, I don't really care what they do."

It helps me be a lot less judgmental. Besides, often times I don't know the whole story, so who am I to judge how someone lives their life?
Sorry for the typos; was in a hurry before :/

Yeah, so why would you need a custom web server when you do CSR?

Edit: next.js is a web server, right? Because how else can it do SSR?
Have you ever priced it out? Probably not as expensive as you think. Like travelling with an extra kid, plus some extra overtime for the baby sitter you would have paid anyway.
Why do you think that matters?
Right, if those cases were COVID, why wasn't there a mass outbreak at that time in their area, causing a surge in hospitalizations?

When asked, most of the people I've talked to couldn't even point to other people to whom they spread their mystery illness. If it was COVID, it would have been far more contagious and they likely would have hospitalized some of their elderly relatives with it.
I think this is a good argument for the government to start a program to do an ongoing “serological census”.

On an ongoing basis, take random samples from the population and freeze their nasal swabs, blood samples, skin shavings, etc. If there’s ever a major disease we need to understand the spread of, this would give us the data before we’re even aware of its existence.
> But, most seem to declare that the work is owned at least in part by the funding source, which seems fair to me.

There's a dark side here - and the common refrain of "if paid for with public money, it should be in the public domain" - of normalizing the power of capital holders compared to the people doing the work. Most of the time, that idea is going to have bad public outcomes, so I don't like playing into it with regard to journals and research publications.
I wish she would give to governments :-/

There are thousands of governments in the US (and many more globally). Towns, cities, counties and states and of course the federal government. Many of these governments are accountable and effective in a way that charities aren't.

This particular page design can be read as an intentional response to Web2.0, something the authors of this article considered to be part of a broader campaign to remove "amateur" production from the web. They published a book, Digital Folklore, expanding on this idea a few years later: https://digitalfolklore.org/
Unfortunately if the OP is located in California, there are very few places left in the state where one can purchase a home for just $300k; these are generally places in the southern half of the Central Valley (e.g., Fresno, Bakersfield) or places in the far north of the state (e.g., Chico, Redding). Sacramento, my hometown, is no longer cheap; last I checked the average price for a home there was around $440k, and homes in Sacramento's nicer suburbs tend to average in the $500k range (and homes in Sacramento's walkable core are even more expensive).

There are out-of-state alternatives where $300k is doable such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Houston, but if the OP is a lifelong Californian like myself, then moving to another state may be quite a change.

I'm in a similar situation as the OP. I currently rent an apartment in a coastal area near Silicon Valley that I love. I can afford to purchase a place up to about $425K based on my income, savings, and DTI, but $425K isn't enough to purchase anything near commute distance from Silicon Valley, and while I could have afforded Sacramento two years ago, the pandemic-era rise of prices in the Sacramento area have priced me out of the neighborhoods I want to live in. Thus I still rent.
So many overthrows and coups, and I'm on the other hand just pissed that they still fail to overthrow the Iranian Islamist government, and that nothing was done about China. They had good relations with the Iran millitary and they didn't do shit when Islamists took over the country.
I'm somewhat like you (aspiration-based notebook purchaser), but I actually did buy a remarkable - both the original and V2.

Bizarrely, I've ended up using the RM exclusively for work-related notes, and still keep all my personal ideas in a paper notebook. Aside from a subconscious desire to work through my stationery backlog, I have no idea why.

RM is nice to use and I'd definitely recommend to note-taking gadget lovers, but the software quality prevents me from calling it a more general must-buy device.
Not saying it is related to Taiwan, but having planes up in the air before shit hits the fan is probably a wise move. Even if something happens really far away, its best to have patrols just in case.

Is this satire?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but in some areas I believe it is much better to invest the money in a sustainable business selling a product rather than giving that product away. That preserves profit and loss indicators and allows decision makers to judge the value their end users are receiving.

Education can be an example of that. Making a really cheap, high quality school is much better than funding tuition in existing schools. A school that manages to retain costumers indicates that they value the school so much there's nowhere better to spend the money. However if the school is "free" they might as well just go for it even if they don't get much out of it.
