I don't really know how does it work in Fuchsia but AFAIK it is supposed to implement capability-based access control giving the apps access only to what and when they really are meant to access (rather than everything the user who launched them is eligible to access). I believe constraining native apps written for traditional OSes this way may not be trivial.
Came back to comment on this as I've been giving it some thought. Comparing with Django Components I find Slippers to be much better. The YAML approach doesn't bother me much, as it is very limited.
As a side-note, I want to point out the classic Bresentham's Algorithm [1] for drawing straight (non anti-aliased) lines.

The cool thing about Bresentham's is you can generalize it to spread out one action (moving on Y) evenly across an input range (moving on X)

The important aspect of what.you describe is that fashion is more aspirational than popular.

A lot of what is "popular" is still recognized by the wearer themselves as not fashionable, and is worn despite that (and sometimes because of that) for various reasons.

I disagree on the usage of agency here and the entire post really. Being an introvert SWE (70% of HN?) a lot solo consultants would be placed between quiet asshole and nice, but not often extroverted. Are these people low in agency? Is the traditional "nerd" low on agency? hardly.

False and misleading.

First, it only refers to the US, while the headline makes no such qualification.

Second, this refers only to electricity generation, which is roughly 25% of US energy use, or 20% if you include energy embedded in imports, mostly fueled by fossil fuels in China.

Third, this refers only to gros capacity. For those who have been asleep, the effective energy capacity is far lower for renewables than for stable power sources due to intermittency.

Yes, as well as country interconnects so that excess wind generation in one region can be distributed elsewhere.

I know nothing about Music Brainz, but isn't it inevitable that something with humans involved will sometimes have errors? Is there such a thing as a restaurant that doesn't sometimes get a customer's order wrong, or a team of website moderators (paid or unpaid) who don't occasionally make the wrong judgement call, or a piece of software that occasionally had a bug that wasn't spotted in QA?

To go from being a "huge fan" to refusing to use it after a single mistake seems a very extreme reaction, unless that incident caused you to look into it more and discover that they're constantly making similar mistakes.

For something like restaurants there's often enough competing options to let a single mistake sour you to a place and choose alternatives in the future, but even then it a restaurant I was a huge fan of messed up a visit of mine I'd most likely give them another chance unless they literally didn't care care that something had gone wrong suggesting it's likely to keep happening.

edit: Also curious about what their rejection reason was that led you to describe it as "innocuous", seems an odd adjective to include without context.

We don't really know enough about the long term impacts of the vaccines. The heart issues being linked to the Pfizer vaccine are mildly concerning.

The evidence seems to be that the coronavirus will continue mutating and the vaccine will not stop people from catching COVID again at some point. The vaccine is also, in my experience, painful.

Given these trade-offs it is reasonable for someone who has already been infected to avoid the vaccine. People already eat bad food, don't exercise and take risks.

But this doesn’t mean these graduates are skilled? From your explanation, it sounds like there’s an incentive to get a degree - both cash payments from the government and an opportunity to avoid labor work.

> as such the number of educated is a very strong indicator of how many new programmers are entering the field.

But “educated” in this context means they passed. It doesn’t mean all or even half of these graduates understand the discipline sufficiently to be productive employees or even work at a FANG tier company.

I guess my point is - the market might be saturated with these graduates, at least on paper. But that’s not the same as the market being saturated with talented programmers, engineers, admins, or whatever the job title is.

The underutilized usefulness of sync.Once (#Golang)
Now that I'm making money and am 'successful' doing what I love, I have realized that nothing could have prepared me for the contradictory reality of the making a living off of something that is deeply personal/inward directed.

Even if I find myself holding together what often feels like two antithetical parts, the rewards (for now) of being able to pursue the fulfillment of my 'life activity' and what I am naturally oriented towards outweigh the dissonance.

However, a pitfall is if your life activity is altered so much by capital that its creative function ceases to exist except to generate more capital; perpetuate its system - the best outcome is where capital accelerates your 'life's activity' transformative potential instead of neutralizing it.

My personal solution is to turn my back on a lot of the expectations and niceties of my work and instead focus most of my energy on creation.

Fuchsia is going to hurt humanity. If that sounds exaggerated, consider that its license's sole purpose is to allow propietary drivers and other kernel modules. In a world where google wants to have clean hands and governments want to enforce policies on computers, what do you suppose will run on your android phone in the future? That's right, a government-mandated rootkit.

Edit: Of course, I know that this is technically possible already now, but if google creates an OS with the explicit support for such a contraption, there will be an industry where companies like Samsung can buy their "legal modules" for their target markets soon.

>That's why the won the war in the first place.

Not really. The japanese ships were, iirc, mostly built in britain and germany. Plus, the chinese had many more ships. I've read that corruption and morale were important factors, but I don't think relative levels of industrialization mattered that much. Bear in mind, Japan did not build things like engines domestically until the 20th century.

Further, the indemnity was nearly four times the annual national budget, and paid in pound sterling. That's more than a 'few years'. That's absolutely transformative. Not to mention the capture of chinese naval vessels, territorial concessions, etc.

> Most exports of industrial goods went to other developed countries.

Depends on the era. The basic point I'm making is that early industrialization, i.e. the wool trade, then the cotton trade, were generally export-driven, and export-driven to west africa. The cotton industry was also underwritten by colonialism insofar as it was predicated on slavery.

Pointing to countries that did not have direct roles in colonialism (although a surprising number of countries you wouldn't think of actually did - i.e. demmark in the slave trade) ignores the fact that colonialism basically amounted to a massive and sustained cash infusion into western europe. The spanish conquests of the new world, for example, brought so much gold and silver into europe they crashed the spanish economy, but I think it's obvious that this gold would have quickly escaped national borders and funded colonial and industrial ventures across western europe.

> Many modern user interfaces have a lot of functionality hidden behind catchall elements [...] it makes it very difficult to find what functionality is available unless you go exploring.

Users still have to explore, even more so, in complex interfaces where a lot of options are presented. They don't know what each option does and there's so many of them.

And even the classic desktop apps have a lot of functionality hidden under the File/Edit/View/Insert/Tools menu bar. If they are not designed carefully, they are just hamburger menus with confusing labels. I'm looking at one right now. Why is "Find" under "Edit"? I don't want to edit anything, I just want to look for something. Is this action destructive? I took a risk and I pressed it, but luckily it is indeed just a search.

It's also a problem in physical interfaces like a computer keyboard. There's dozens of buttons and yet there are many hidden interactions between them. What does "Home" button do? Will it take me to my home screen? My home page? Let's press it. Oh, it just scrolls up.

Unless the options are severely limited or the users are trained, exploring can't be avoided - and it's not a bad thing.

> More and more designs target smartphone displays, which used to be very small and require big targets to ensure they could be mashed with normal human fingers. However, this gets reused on tablets, modern gigantic smartphones, and even desktop, where none of this makes sense.

It does make sense on the gigantic smartphones and tablets. The size of the viewport doesn't matter. The size and the precision of the pointer device does - and my finger didn't shrink.

> Clickable items often have simplified, highly abstracted icons with thin-line monochrome content, frequently implemented as fonts, which is less distracting from the visuals of the design but is also hard to understand what it's supposed to represent.

Here's a screenshot of LibreOffice Calc with a classic skeuomorphic icon set: https://i.imgur.com/TO7mHEg.png Let's ignore the poor contrast caused by the dark background for now. Can you tell me which icon is responsible for Search?

It should be the one between the printer and the scissors - it has a magnifying glass after all. Turns out, it's Toggle Print Review. Search is actually in the middle of the row between Redo and Spelling, labeled as Find and Replace. It looks more like a microphone to me.

> Less modality. Many modern designs will have modal interface elements that prevent access to the rest of the user interface until interacted with and/or dismissed.

There's a time and place for this, especially if it's something important. For example Exit Without Saving confirmation modal in BIOS, which is several decades old.

It depends on the region obviously, but often peak wind power is in mornings and evenings, which complements solar nicely.
No it's a typical "this alternative is better even though it is not a panacea" argument. Nobody argues that it's good that wind turbines produce waste. It's just that the problems caused by wind turbine waste are absolutely trivial compared to climate change.

Battery storage can, and most likely will, be the solution for day-night fluctuations in energy use. However, for the amounts of energy that seasonal energy storage would require, it's not really a viable solution.

Regarding clean seasonal energy storage - UK, French and German authorities all independently came with studies(1) that arrived to the same conclusion - synthetic methane is the only viable option. Very expensive, but the engineering is doable. Gas plants are here to stay.

Your typical architecture astronaut will take a fact like “Napster is a peer-to-peer service for downloading music” and ignore everything but the architecture, thinking it’s interesting because it’s peer to peer, completely missing the point that it’s interesting because you can type the name of a song and listen to it right away.

He was exactly right. Now you can do the same thing on YouTube: type the name of a song and most of the time it will come up right away. And that's what matters the most.

And I'd say that goodwill was passed through into the 1950s and most of the 1960s. The Vietnam War and the accompanying hippie/student movements started to put a big dent in that, followed by Watergate, of course.

What is interesting to me (as a non-American who has never set foot in the US) is that big Government seems to have had a resurgence in Reagan's 1980s, thanks mostly to its military-related expenditure but not only. I think the final "Government is bad"/"we don't need it" coup de grâce was carried out in the Clinton years, the (in-)famous Third Way [1] which was mostly one way, to be honest, i.e. neoliberal policies carried with full speed.

It does seem that the Government and how it is viewed has started to be seen in a more positive light again, thanks mostly to the millennial generation (I hate the "generation" concept but that's the best I can come with), especially after the 2008-2010 financial crisis and the accompanying social changes (increase of economic inequality, mostly), which I find highly interesting. It was also interesting how the US was very keynes-ian in its response to the pandemic, I mean putting cash directly into people's pockets is I think more than Keynes would have hoped for.

Context matters immensely. That’s why I can’t imagine posting an thought-provoking non-ironic short on, e.g., YouTube, knowing that it will be immediately accompanied by calls to watch 100 funniest fails and (with all my love for these creatures) wild foxes being pet or cockatoos mimicking cat meowing, and that a significant number of viewers will watch it while sitting in a toilet.

Contrasting with galleries, museums, private exhibitions surviving off subsidies or entrance fees—and I don’t think it’s as simple as “it’s just a new way of viewing that you don’t like because it’s new”—what we have settled for are “free” ad-supported platforms that are in effect much closer to casinos and malls, and to which convincing a visitor to not leave directly equals revenue.

There is, of course, this flip side, where presenting any visually unoriginal, self-gratifying, etc. work in context of an exhibition gives it not-necessarily-deserved value; and it could be that the ability to make the viewer feel something you want them to feel despite all that widely varying context is a valid skill.
