Would you mind describing the parts that became automated? I can think of a number of appliances that could potentially be api-driven but haven’t researched them yet....
Respectfully, the onus is on you to understand what are the perils of such policies that erode the future of our kids, for those that oppose such policies are respected leaders in Mathematics education - perhaps you should question your stance based on what apparently is a marketing pamphelt precisely designed to pursuade people. Based on what you said i.e. "90% of what they recommend looks like really good ways to improve math instruction", I am pointing you to additional information that might convince you otherwise.
Imagine git required you to manually craft TCP packets... That's what you're comparing to.

You're doing it really really wrong if you spend more time learning git than writing your code. Even with its bad UX it's just not that hard.
Compare this to HHVM which evolved into a PHP fork no one other than Slack uses.
interesting point, initially I did not consider the fact that some fonts might render better than others.

What amazon did though is super sketchy. They created their own ballot boxes and "processed" them behind closed doors, when the votes were supposed to be collected by a neutral third party. Why would they do this for any reason other than to tamper with the votes?
It’s not just flavor that has been bred out. Also nutrition, and not just from tomatoes. Consumers can not visually see flavor or nutrition. They can see color, size, and uniformity of surface texture and shape. So the vegetables are bred for what can be seen and immediately considered in a buying decision.
Hardly. Delivery often beats out random one off trips in economies of scale. Even assuming it’s not an EV (see below), the fact that the truck engine is warmed up will alone beat out your typical short trip to the shops.
I feel like your definition of "left" and my definition of "left" aren't even remotely equivalent.

It seems that much of our public debate is hobbled by an outstanding lack of consensus regarding what is meant by many political terms: right, left, conservative, progressive, liberal, capitalism, fascism, democracy, socialism, and so on.

I don't mention this as a way to suggest your definition is incorrect but just to point out how difficult it is to have a coherent discussion when basic terms are ill-defined.
"Ferguson looks foolish now"
Ferguson has looked foolish for over 20 years, every public pronouncement he has made has been pessimistic by orders of magnitude. Why the government and the public still listen to this charlatan is a mystery.
thank you, the part about invention I care about is not ideation but actual reduction to practice.
If you've been following the story for a while, it is extremely likely that this took place, and it is extremely likely they will get away with it as well.
The secret is apparently to be slightly cagey about your tech and nerd snipe half of HN into trying to figure out if your thing actually works or not...
> Don't we already have thrusters that are useful in space, but completely unable to support themselves against 1G and so they can't lift off from the ground?

Yes. For example ion thrusters have specific impulse that is like an order of magnitude or two (or three?) better than chemical rockets, but they can't lift anything out of the atmosphere.

> I feel like I've read something that said fusion power would fall in the same category.

Sorry I have no idea about that.
Meat freezes very well, and can often be bought in bulk. Vegetables tend to last longer than milk in my experience.

Ask HN: Anyone had a positive mentor/mentee experience as a software engineer?
I've been in the industry for quite a while and haven't had a mentoring relationship that really paid off, regardless of which side of it I was on. Have you? What made it successful? Asking for a direct report...

The "long engine list" is only 3 deep, none of which besides the raptor made it past the test stand. What matters is full-flow-ness, not staged-ness, which means running neither oxidizer- or fuel- rich, for maximum efficiency. And in any case the russian engine was N2O2/UDMH and the american prior art was hydralox, so it's not like spacex didn't have to do a TON of figuring out to get a methalox FF engine up and running.
They accidentally said the quiet part out loud.

Agreed - my brother HL-L2375DW monochrome laser works great with Pop!_OS (based on Ubuntu). I print over wifi due to lack of desk space and it is pretty much plug and play - I turn it on and within few seconds it is available as a printer in the print dialog. I am not a heavy user + I set it to toner-saving settings so still using the original cartridge it came with (bought in Aug 2019).
When I read it, as a native speaker, I read "treated poorly by the algorithm" as being a term for the behavior of culture and systems of the time, and not a hypothetical algorithm from the future that took as input the culture of the time and made decisions about fairness.

I think it was the use of "the algorithm" and not "an algorithm" that most affected my reading there - "poorly by an algorithm" comes across, to me, as "poorly by some algorithm", rather than "poorly by _the_ algorithm", implying a specific instance of a thing, already known by the reader or referred back to later, doing it.

Consider "treated poorly by the system" versus "treated poorly by such a system", which has an even clearer connotation, to me.

I agree with the general sentiment, but if you do want to unpublish there is a policy available [0]

Key points being either:

- published within 72 hours and without any dependents

- no dependents, < 300/week downloads, single owner

Of course even with all that said there was also precedent for having it removed if you emailed them directly and it was up to their discretion (I believe this was prior to their acquisition so not sure if that still applies).

Thanks for the keynav pointer. I switched from a mouse to a trackball due to shoulder pain, and it has really helped. Still, anytime I can use the keyboard instead of the mouse it makes me happy.
Modern Powerline Ethernet adapters are really decent these days, and can even come with Wifi bridges/repeaters built in that can either replace, or 'mesh' with your router's wifi.

I re-did the home network at a relative's place early this year when also replacing the laptop.

Zero regrets. All the fixed devices now have either an eithernet port right near them, or good wifi signal. The devices that had flaky wifi were now meters from a wifi AP. Better still, it didn't take up any more power points as they all had pass-through power support. So plugged in behind the TV, and bedside tables and lamps.

If you're animating using just css classes (or transitions), you'll be fine.

Some animations need to be run in javascript though, and doing that through state is a bad idea. You can use ref, and sometimes that's fine, but if the data is changing (hitting a moving target), then you need communication. Think coach-marks and scrolling at the same time.

And "tweening" views means showing the last view fade out while the next one fades in (or scrolls in, etc). This means displaying an old state, and a new state at the same time. The trick is to recycle your html elements, but it'll fight you for it.
That's the idea. Various tools and power-user features benefit from the things that modern JS frameworks give you. But the basic experience of reading articles should support the lowest-common denominator.

Most JS frameworks consider the SPA use-case to be the "happy path". There are a few outliers like the Stimulus family or Alpine (which I don't think existed at the time of the RFC) that expect to be sprinkled in to server-rendered HTML, but scaling these tools to full-blown apps may prove difficult.

I think Vue can operate in between these two use-cases better than some of the alternatives. Being able to compile templates at runtime is also a useful feature in a legacy environment, where you can't just transpile all the things ahead of time. You have to ship some extra code for this, but it's nothing compared to the cost of shipping (and running) all of Babel, which you'd need to compile JSX.
Prescribing fluoroquinolones like they're candy.

They're extraordinarily dangerous antibiotics. It was becoming known in the early 1990s the soft tissue, heart, retina, brain and nerve damage they can cause. Most European nations restricted their prescription considerably. The US did the opposite and commonly prescribed them. As of a decade ago the US was prescribing fluoroquinolones to roughly 10% of its adult population annually.

The evil scumbags at Bayer tried to get enrofloxacin (Baytril; comparable to Cipro) approved to be put in water to be fed to poultry for mass consumption by the population.

Cipro carries two blackbox warning labels. The FDA dragged their feet on dealing with it for more than a decade despite knowing how dangerous it is. And Cipro is the gentle one in the family.

What we'll eventually prove is that Cipro harms everyone that takes it and should be used only as a last resort, not first resort.
It used to be the norm. Why did the "milk man industry" go under? Could it not compete with bulk buying milk once refrigeration became the norm?
I did a year long experiment; no phone.

Frankly, as Snowden recently said, our phones are probably our greatest security threat as a country. Going off the digital grid is almost impossible, but knowing how is a matter of national security...

Which is why breaches like OPM etc are so egregious; because once the data is out there, its too late to take back.

My problem is that listening to Drake and Binney, it seems greed was allowed to take over policy decisions in order to maximize kickbacks while failing to protect americans privacy.
IMO, there's no way it lasts purely because of this.

We already have the DOM, and there's literally nothing that React can do that requires its complexity EXCEPT server side rendering. Which most people never use.
them kids and their microservices...
Those are already the complications associated with not vaccinating, so putting them on the table again would double-count them.

Not sure I agree with their ‘hundreds of millions (per year)’ figure. That seems like unnecessary fear-mongering. But maybe ‘hundreds of thousands’ or ‘millions’, which is still not great.
Without refreshing my knowledge on it, I don't think it's actually a string. A <template> block is actually a "single file component" which is a special vue plugin/loader/whatever for webpack. It compiles template/script/style tags into a single compiled version.

I'm like 60% sure that your "string' example is never run in production. So I believe that it gets compiled before vue even sees it (at build time, or dev-server compile time) into the standard method that vue is used to... a vue component:

Vue.component('button-counter', {
data: function () {
return {
count: 0
}
},
template: '<button v-on:click="count++">You clicked me {{ count }} times.</button>'
})

Sprinkler system, water pressure and leak reporting, lights, mains reporting that the meter happens to broadcast, host of sensors for the house plants. Right now working on a control plane for AVB (audio video bridge) devices to give myself a sonos++ that includes video too without using sonos (I'm still salty about their "recycle mode" BS).

After that either: A) hooking up some cameras to the AVB matrix to give myself a Ring replacement too, or B) hooking all the phone lines in my old house to the AVB bridge and creating a kitsch intercom system with an old phone chosen to match each room.

After that, maybe voice assistant, but that seems like a lot. Or maybe hooking a bunch of bluetooth MCUs together on a low latency network to make the house look like a giant bluetooth device so I don't lose my audio when I go outside to do yard work.

The end goal is all the smart home stuff but I don't have to choose between Daddy Bezos and Daddy Jinping.
That is a rather extreme and inaccurate caricature of the food situation for poor people. You can choose to believe it but it doesn't make it true. Sure, there are some poor people that nothing but junk food but that doesn't reflect on the food that is typically available to them.
> The thing is that no one is buying a Playdate without being aware of what they're getting.

Nonsense, no one knows anything about future subscriptions aka "what they are getting". How can consumers be fully informed when nothing is announced?

The PlayDate will have an astronomically small install base. Amortizing a dozen game's developments over such a small install base without subsidy from Panic will surely lead to sticker shock. There are 21 titles in the first season. At a mere 50K USD per title (small even for indie dev budgets) that is 1,050K USD to develop the season. With 20K sold play dates that's a per device cost of 50$, or about 100$ for a year of releases.

Can the playdate justify a 8$ per month subscription? Yeah I think so, but only because it is a pure novelty. Except novelties have a habit of being low commitement. If only 25% of units re-sub that puts your per sub development costs at 400$ a year. Are Playdate owners going to be happy to pay 2x the cost of the device for a single year of games? Obviously not.

The playdate needs to move more units or it will die, I don't think current buyers understand this risk at _all_.
At the moment? At least every person under 12, which is ~15% of the US population (and presumably similar elsewhere in the world).
By and large, all of industry and academia working on modern robotics systems have converged on using event-driven publish/subscribe message busses for basically everything. For example, a camera driver will produce a stream of "image" events that the trigger other code across the system, all the way until a stream of "motor command" events come out the other side. This model is really valuable because it works so well with logging and replay workflows, and because it makes mocking and replacing different parts of the system really easy (up to and including mocking reality with a simulator). ROS is the major open source framework used in academia, and industry is split between using ROS and building proprietary internal protocols with similar functionalities.

It's not an exact match for the scalable-microservices world you're thinking of (for example, typically robots don't need to deal with runtime schema version skew), but could be interesting to learn about anyway.
So unbelievably well said, I've got chills. Exactly the thoughts I've been harboring for the last decade or so. Just my 2c to add:

- Abstractions/models tend to completely replace reality. We, software engineers, are very prone to that sort of thinking. Another prominent category are accountants: leaders drive their businesses only looking at the "map" of accounts; governments do the same with their constituents.

- "Paralyze" is exactly the right term. Excessive bureaucracy actively discourages any creative action, for the sake of illusion-of-control.

Cannot upvote this post high enough, you made my day. Maybe humanity is not completely hopeless yet.
Problem here in Australia too.

TV aside, there has been some drama over this on Twitch. Streamers are shown gambling massive (to you or me) amounts of money daily. Kids watch this. It's entirely unregulated (maybe not in theory, but in practice). Some people have done investigations into the companies and they seem very shady. There's absolutely no reason to believe these companies aren't directly supporting or sponsoring the streamers monetarily, or even tweaking the numbers behind the scenes to make them lucky. It's been alleged for gacha games in the past, and I definitely believe people will go further for real money if they can.
Even if we pretended that it's rational to hedge all your bets on not only having a working fusion reacter in the near term future but having the capability to miniturise it to a degree where it could be used as an engine for a launch vehicle, you would still be dead wrong.

Fusion still shares the same fundumental problem that chemical rockets or even more advanced options like blackhole or antimatter drives face - the rocket equation. We need to use near term reusable launch vehicles like the Starship to help set up the required launch assist structures that would make genuine mass transit of people and cargo into orbit possible.

Things like skyhooks, lofstroom loops, and eventually orbital rings that would allow people to ride trains or cable cars from an earth city straight into orbit for the same price range as intercity travel today. Needless to say, that is not going to happen until there is enough of an industry up there to justify the large upfront costs of such megaprojects (especially the orbital ring) so the Starship is our best near term hope of getting us up to that point.

Note that none of these projects require advanced materials or new technologies (as opposed to the space elevator that is likely to remain science fiction when it comes to dealing with a body with the gravity well of earth anyway), they're just massive engineering projects.
So Blue Origin... they started earlier yet lag behind SpaceX with an even richer person backing the company, so it doesn't seem to be rich kid starts a company that makes the difference
I almost lost a friendship on discussing that "good business is consumer-unfriendly". Because it fundamentally alters one's view of the consumerist-capitalism society we live in, it's very hard to accept for anyone invested in the system, even slightly. if one accepts that fact, then the question becomes: is there a level of user-unfriendliness that is morally acceptable? Or is it all pure and simple exploitation? Which cannot be logically answered in a clear and simple way; we just accept the status quo because we think any potential alternative would be worse, which we have no way of knowing.

I once interviewed at a very well-known computer manufacturer, with 21 people over two full days. But it was known by all that after the two days, you got an offer or you were never going to get an offer. It was fine, no problem, I enjoyed it.

It was respectful of my time. They were serious. I felt valued.

Don’t know why today’s tech companies have abandoned something that so obviously promotes good will in the new employee as well as the one passed by.
Not really. I use dollar stores for junk stuff. I'll finish a bag of Oreos in a day, regardless of how much stuff is in it. If it's cheaper and smaller proportionally, whatever.

Intriguing! I have a friend that did a web scraper on OK Cupid several years before that article, perhaps 2009, based on the same idea: people can see when you looked at their profile or something. He didn't optimize much beyond that and wasn't meeting people he considered attractive, he just wanted to have an additional pool of meetings and volume of hookups, which was successful.

Both he and the author of this story were able to warp the male experience in order to have many messages from women to sort though.

I find this one interesting as the author here was actually looking to have a relationship, and eventually proposed and removed himself from the pool. I hadn't seen anyone do a data driven approach for that. 88 first dates though, a lot of effort.

I'm somewhat familiar with LA, haha its sad he cut out the women from the east side due to distance because he's normally around UCLA. The east side women sounded pretty fun, younger, unencumbered but having suboptimal living environments. Which sounds about right for Los Angeles. Makes me kind of want to ponder if anyone has done two apartments in LA, westside and downtown.
Capability Based Security - Our operating systems are based on a security model that is great for the academic and research organizations of the 1970s. It trusts everything except the users.

Capability Based Security inverts this, the user is trusted, and given powerful tools to allow running code without trusting it. Usability and performance aren't sacrificed.
Ah. The specific Chinese reason is that the Government says no.
