Well, let's just consider one example. Did NPR tell people thousands of times that Trump called Nazis "very fine people"? I suspect they did. Did they ever tell people the truth that he hadn't actually said that? I suspect they didn't, or that it was a very quiet and brief admission. Now, do you suppose NPR did vastly better on all the other stuff they gush at the mouth about all day?
Yeah - definitely keep your backups in FLAC. Having a lossless source gives you infinite future flexibility, and that cannot be underestimated. Otherwise you're kinda doomed to hit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZCRYo-0K0c eventually.

For on-listening-device though, oh heck yes - Opus is great.
It’s definitely not set and forget. In the past year alone there where multiple 0day attacks against Exim and MS Exchange servers.
Well, first of all, that they are 1/1000000 of the news produced by mainstream sources.
Dell isn't visibly offering Linux on their laptops in their Dutch digital store front at all. Despite being able to configure them. Which is weird, because the developers who want to buy it certainly exist.
Are you arguing that the person should have used example.com in their comment as an example domain or are you suggesting people use a subdomain of example.com for their home network?

You're acting smug but nobody can tell why right now
Interesting point. I guess it's confirmation bias. Say something people want to believe about themselves, and the rest follows.
You are arguing against threejs not react. R3f reconciles threejs in the exact way it's getting used, a graph. This ofc is also how blender gltf et al work. If you make a webgl app on the web you most likely use three and all react does is make that a little ordered with some additional benefits when it comes to performance, memory and interop.
Reminds me of the name C'Baoth in the popular Thrawn trilogy. In the anniversary edition Timothy Zahn wrote somewhere that the name is actually pronounced (iirc) "sebayoth" and if he had known people would have such problems he'd have spelled it differently.

I'd never have guessed that pronunciation.
> I end up making a ton of progress: bootstrapping a development environment, databases, frameworks, containers, yada, yada, yada

The „modern“ way of development is overcomplicated and not suitable if you are an solo founder, too much time is lost on infrastructure, setup etc. The modern complicated js stack where you need to maybe configure everything for 1-2 days and need to constantly fight webpack is not how you should built an web application as a solo founder.

You should be able to be „live“ in a few minutes. For every language there is a stack enabling this, they are not the most fany ones but get their work done. Take for example laravel with spark (https://spark.laravel.com/), for 99$ you get a login-system with teams and subscription management all-in-one within minutes. And don‘t build a ci pipeline, complex kubernetes cluster or learning a dozen of aws servers. A simple VPS or root server and Laravel Forge (https://forge.laravel.com/) or Ploi (https://ploi.io/) and you are live.

As a solo founder you need to find a way to cut down on non-programming and non-marketing tasks. This means maybe not working with the hottest tech stack of the day but simply using a workhorse solution which lets you get shit done quickly.
No it doesn’t, unless said intermediaries are modifying contents and are not DMARC aware.

Many European countries are forcing DMARC adoption for government infrastructure and it works just fine.
Big budget marketing drives most of the mainstream preferences though, so I'd argue that resistance to marketing is the main thing separating nerds from mainstream.
This looks like a problem of "flat hierarchy" - there's no one responsible for anything. If a problem arises, we all just scratch our heads for a while and go back to sleep.

> I noticed that someone had placed an oscillating fan inside the ductwork, just before the indirect heater. “What’s this for?” I asked the plumber.

> “I’m trying to blow the heat upstairs,” he said. “It doesn’t seem to be working, though, and that’s what’s got me stumped. Heat rises.”

> “Actually, it doesn’t,” I said. “Hot air rises.”

> “Well, same thing, right?”

> “Not exactly,” I said. "Hot air will rise, but only if cold air can take its place."

> “I don’t get it.”

> “Come here; I’ll show you.” I followed the large sheet-metal duct back to where it met the foundation wall. “Where does this go?” I asked.

> “Outside,” he said.

> “Where outside?”

> “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t do outside. I do inside.”

[...]

> I waded into the greenery and stomped around on it for a while. “The gardeners aren’t going to like that,” the plumber said.

> “It’s okay,” I said. “I do outside.”

> And that’s when my stomping made a hollow sound. I smiled. “Got a shovel?” He went to get one and I waited, and while I waited, I thought like air. If I were air, how would I get into this house? He came back in a few minutes and handed me the shovel. I dug down about six inches and hit plastic. Clear plastic. I moved some more of the dirt out of the way and saw the metal bars of the old air-inlet grate.

[...]

> When the gardener showed up, I explained what we were doing and how the air wouldn’t move across the red-hot indirect heaters because there was no fresh air coming into the house. He understood but then explained how ugly those ground-level grates were and how they had decided to cover them all with sheets of clear plastic, topsoil and pachysandra. “That’s why the house is cold,” I said.

> The gardener pointed to the plumber. “It’s his job to keep it warm. It’s my job to keep it green.”

> “The problem’s outside,” I said. “He doesn’t do outside. You do.”

> And we went back and forth like that for a while until the gardener reluctantly agreed to remove one of the clear plastic sheets, just to prove me wrong.

Clearly, the ultimate fault lies with the original architects, who unfairly designed a heating system that existed both outside and inside the house. But it's also interesting to note that the plumber's entire job was to understand how the house worked, and not only did he not understand it, he didn't seem to feel there was any reason why he should understand it.
What if they start using it?
The career politicians are some of the very last people who should be making choices on what technological directions we should go as a society. You can watch any of the congressional hearings to see the complete lack of understanding of today’s technical landscape, let alone expecting them to determine where we go next. One day I hope to see actual technical people taking on high level elected positions and trying to change this, but for now it’s mostly lawyers who have spent their career trying to poll well and raise money.
The dairy industry was already in trouble. Milk consumption is declining. Frantic efforts to add cheese to everything seem to have reached some limit. New studies indicate that adults should not have more than two servings of dairy products per day. Lactose intolerance is rising in the US population.

Now this.
Why is a paywalled NYT article being highlighted on HN?
One of the working links on that page refers to Netscape Visual JavaScript.

That sounds interesting ..

Netscape Visual JavaScript helps make it practical and easy to develop sophisticated crossware applications through drag-and-drop components and simple visual programming. You can easily incorporate sophisticated functionality and database connectivity into web pages without writing code. Netscape Visual JavaScript enables you to deliver finished applications to users quickly and easily.

To the woman at the bar last night who noticed my body language
I really wonder why they are going to do so. In fact I don't envy Australians since 2020. You should move to the States, guys. Or at least find a good dating site at https://www.bestpolydating.com/meetup-com/ and put your mind back on track while flirting beautiful girls. Life is for living, folks. And I think we all deserve the best.
You posted this comment using PROCESSED SILICON instead of organic garden variety sand. Perhaps you should switch back.
I think the more prevailing opinion is just that marketing follows Sturgeon's Law. McDonald's is a good example - their marketing (at least in my region) is excellent, and I'm consciously aware of the fact that it leads me to having a higher opinion of them as a company. On the other hand, KFC's marketing is absolutely horrible (do other countries get those insanely out of touch "shut up and take my money" ads?), and I occasionally choose not to eat there solely because their marketing pisses me off so much.

I'd say that fewer than ~5% of the adverts I see increase my opinion of the advertised product/brand, and around 80% of them actively reduce it. Based on my other interactions with people who can be described as "nerds", this seems like a reasonably common sentiment.

In short, it's not that people think they're invulnerable to marketing, they just think that they're invulnerable to shoddy marketing aimed at the lowest common denominator with no thought beyond "let's just yell at them every 5 minutes until they buy our product". Which could very well be true.
Well, require them to be registered, neutered and ban all import cats? It's better than advising people to imprison their pets 24/7.
> What is important is how the code is organized at high level.

This was often forgotten about OOP as well, as Alan Kay himself reminds us...

"The key in making great and growable systems is much more to design how its modules communicate rather than what their internal properties and behaviors should be."

Marketing associate emotions to products. For perfume ads it is a feeling of being attractive. For products marketed to geeks it is a feeling of being smarter and mentally superior to others.

Notice how successful geek marketing talks about the type of person who use the product rather than just about the merits of the products itself.

"The BingWiz languages are used by true 10x geeks who are are tired of group-think and corporate bullshit and don't want to be tied down by mediocrity. Mediocre corporate drones uses FlopFlup because their feeble minds are unable to comprehend the true power of BingWiz."
>The old-style sort-merge join on map reduce requires both inputs to the join to be written to storage, shuffled across nodes and fully sorted even in the best case

It isn't full sort of both inputs. It sorts only what is on given node.
It’s worth noting that the last problem is Linux-specific. In the BSD world, directories are “shrunk” when you create a new file or subdirectory; you don’t need to recreate the directory. (They are not compacted though, so if the last directory entry remains, the directory size won’t shrink.)
https://rxjs.dev/ is another example of wonderful documentation.
As a Wikipedia editor who's poked around in our articles on programming paradigms, there's a decent amount of strange stuff going on -- and I'm not sure how much of that writing I'd take as authoritative, if you catch my drift.
newscientist used to be one of my favorite news outlets, and them going paywall would not bug me as much if just a few weeks before going paywall, they didn't (justifiably) go on a rant how paywalls destroy science... Now a feeling of resentment prevails.

Yeah, I know it's off topic, but there are already complaints here about it being paywalled, so I had to vent.
In that case you should be fine. It should work as well as goroutines and async/await in other languages.

As long as you do IO or other blocking operations which block for a significant amount of time (ms instead of ns), Loom will be beneficial. Otherwise, you'd do better with regular threads in a pool, but even then I'd imagine the performance difference to be tiny.
A note on the PHP script: it will only work if that PHP server has been configured to send email properly.

If you just have a random Linux server that someone has run "apt-get install php" on, it probably hasn't been configured and so that command won't do anything. eg https://www.quackit.com/php/tutorial/php_mail_configuration....

Ps. Because you can't rely on PHP built-in email functions being configured properly and because apps generally want more control over how email is sent most modern apps will use their own library that makes SMTP connections itself. For example here is Symphony - note the first section on setting up transports: https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html#using-built-in-t...
Surprised I Need Air didn't get you copyright striked. Such a great song.

This looks very well done, probably the best library for this in existence judging from the video. I'll have to take a closer look later, thanks for sharing the video link.
How does T-Mobile get SSN and Driver License info from its customers? I use a T-Mobile SIM card and I never gave them anything that private.
Look at all these retro-gaming consoles, nerdy-joke t-shirts, weird dev boards and SBCs, DIY 3D printers, and similar stuff. I don't think nerds buy then out of pure rationality.

It's a mistake to think that nerds have a suppressed or lacking emotional sphere. It's just wired differently that the neurotypical one, but it's very much there.
React is not based on the dom, R3f merely expresses regular threejs which works as an object graph. Three is the usual choice for 3D on the web, if you use it once you'll see that it is also quite natural. There is no conflict between the two and react certainly doesn't change any rules or apis, it just builds a graph, which you would normally form imperatively.
It's not that it's incompatible, it's that when the ECS is the primary tool for organization, a DOM tree (or scenegraph) is merely one way of iterating over the entities - not the way.

This provides tons of benefits, so for example you can also decide to iterate over the entites by shader program and gain significant speedups for graphics processing, or maintain components that roughly sort them by their position in world space for physics and culling or lighting, etc.

For a crude analogy, imagine if Document.querySelectorAll() were a zero-cost abstraction, i.e. it ran as fast as iterating over linear memory. In practice this isn't how it turns out with an ECS, but it's much closer and you can get this kind of performance for the "hot path" kind of queries.

To add to the sibling comment, there's another wonderful Rust ECS called shipyard[0] and I helped write a scenegraph for it (which I really need to update, one of these days)[1]

3rd party bulk senders likely know more about mail delivery than you do. Also DMARC aware recipients will treat ~ALL in SPF exactly like -ALl.
Concrete poles are almost as cheap as wood, once the longer lifetime and lower maintenance are appointed for.

And anyway, Europe has plenty of farms pine/spruce forests. That Ikea furniture doesn't just appear.

Europe buries power lines because they're considered ugly.
That’s a struggle I have at my current employment. I work in a county where failure is not accepted at all so we all have to pretend every project is well planned, has ample time to complete all features before the deadline, and be optimistic about it all. These things are never true but no one wants to say the emperor has no clothes. So instead we go full steam ahead towards the wall and whoever brings that up gets lynched. The result is always the same: we deliver a subpar software product, that barely works the way it was expected to, after a few weeks or months of crunch, it is very hard and costly to maintain, the customer is pissed, and we’re all told by our managers that we suck.

How can you cope then? I’d think it’s healthier to see the monumental failure for what it is (and thus, not sound optimistic, especially when you’ve seen this happen in other projects before). Or should you hide your head in the sand and keep pretending like everything is peachy and this time it’s different, the project won’t fail like the dozens before it?
how can an agent shine when the offer is not in the top or competing with cash? send a basket of roses to the sellers?
What you're proposing is more work than simply spawning one thread per task, which is what Loom let's you do at scale. Why change your app into microservices if you don't need to?
This would still forward your unresolved to public DNS, exposing your internal infra, which as I understand it is one of the things this article is looking at preventing
I didn’t see it mentioned that USA trained and armed the Taliban when they were waging their jihad against the Soviets.
> I will never ever keep a cat indoors 24/7.

Well if you're in NZ, please consider not keeping a cat. The amount of damage they do to wildlife is absolutely shocking.

FWIW, my partner has a 100% indoor cat, and it seems just fine. It gets plenty exercise and stimulation through toys and play time.
SPF (alone) is useless because it actually does not check the sender's domain in the From header (as one might naively think). Instead it only verifies Envelop Sender which can differ (intentionally) from the mail seen in From header.

Was he smart?

I give credit to him that he is intelligent, dedicated, hard working, etc.

But smart? If he was smart, he would know that a helicopter is one of the most complex flying machines ever designed. Everything is so critical, from design of the mechanical system, right down to quality of welds and quality of material used.

I have seen pics and video of the copter. Its a frame, and some blades, welded in some shop. Not safe.

Also, there is a reason individual components are extensively tested before final assembly. He should individually have spun the rotors and blades in a separate fixture, beyond their design limits to assess quality. Looks like he made some designs, built them, and directly assembled them, without any plan or purpose. That is appalling.

I feel sorry for his loss of life, his efforts could have been used somewhere else. There are many people cheering him on. But I strongly believe, being an Indian and living in India and being in an engineering industry, this sets a very bad example. How long before students and amateurs see the amount of media attention he is getting and try to emulate him, hurting / killing themselves and others in the process?
Tend to agree. We'll never know what other cool but smaller and safer things he would have worked on. Especially in a "Third world" country like India that still has a lot of room for low tech solutions, surrounded by a very high tech world that neglects that market.
While sometimes valid (and I make no claims to this particular instance): ehhh.... in bulk I think typography just "gets people going". You can absolutely find this in high density in non-female articles. Any strongly-abnormal typographical choice brings out strong opinions, be it font size, font choice, or (lack of) contrast.

This one is clearly abnormal.

The content is quite good though, I'm definitely going to read more of their stuff.
Ahh.. I don't know why I immediately assumed you were talking about spiders - my apologies!

I agree with everything you've said.
This is a point made by famous advertiser David Ogilvy, in "Ogilvy on Advertising."

Some ads have been proven
by measurement to un-sell a product.

The worst companies do a poor job of measuring the effectiveness of their marketing and un-sell their product.

A good advertiser will measure for this affect and change their ads accordingly.

But yes. Not all ads improve sales. Many ads do un-sell product.
Heyzeus, you're not kidding? Well thanks for proving my point that fake news is probably as big or bigger a problem than 'bs' in regular journalism.
I'm in Europe. Felis catus is a native species.
Your configuration provides no protection from email spoofing though.
I have never been conned by a con artist and I am pretty sure I never will. And I am sure that is true for most people here, just because a con artist says it is easy to con people doesn't make it true, you believing him here is just another of his tricks, don't fall for it. The people who are hard to con are just the kind of people who will refuse to engage with him in the first place.

Edit: I assume all the downvoters have plenty of stories of when they got conned and lost a lot of money, since it is so easy to do and nobody is safe, so lets hear it!
The Firefox Features page from the Firefox 4 era, April 2011
Inspired by this post [1], I decided to go down the memory lane a bit. I remember Firefox 4 being a major overhaul that I was very excited for. It was the first release that moved the tab bar to the top of the UI, probably because Chrome did it.

They say they're deciding between plasma mobile and a customized full plasma as an interface so maybe hopefully they can actually provide a low-latency input layer which seems hard to do on Android.

This explains it perfectly!
Agree so much. There is a huge gap in availability of quality components in India. Very difficult to get and even if we get, very costly.

But I guess it is time for us to have stores like the ones in US, large hardware stores.
this is a classic functional programming that prefers expression like above instead of `if` statements.
