Wouldn’t make a difference. More non-Norwegian oil and gas would get shifted toward combustion from plastics.

I don’t think Europe is too big on plastics (or ammonia fertilizer) production because they really need the gas for local use and wouldn’t want to depend on Russian gas any more than they do.

No, this is an issue currently, both for network data and canvas data.

All wasm instructions can do is read and write from the wasm Memory that the wasm is initialized with. They can't even refer to separate things like a new ArrayBuffer from JS. So you do need to copy.

Newer wasm additions like reference types allow an ArrayBuffer to be referred to inside wasm, but only as an opaque reference to the entire thing (an externref). There is still no ability to actually read and write from it inside wasm.

The solution to this is BYOB ("bring your own buffer") APIs, which JS is adding. They are experimental atm though. Here is the relevant one here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStr...

Note how you pass in a view to the JS API. That can be a view into the wasm memory, letting the browser directly write data into there, and then wasm can operate on it immediately.
Not a very idealistic stance sure, but a pragmatic one. I think lots of people who run businesses know that their business isn’t perfect. But at the end of the day the company sells things and employs people. An idealistic activist attracting negative attention, making it harder for the company to sell things and employ people — well, that’s bad business.

Afghanistan/Taliban didn't have a functional air defence network nor where they technologically near-peer.

The A10 is amazing for CAS in that environment but against anyone tooled up by the russians/chinese with modern SAM's it'd be a different picture.

Now..whether the USAF needs both given that everything they've done for most of the last 40 years has been that type of air support is an interesting question, they like to have high tech toys which is why the A29 isn't apparently going anywhere.

Dr. Hardinger at UCLA teaches the intro organic chemistry courses for essentially anyone graduating in science. His lectures regularly exceeded enrollment of 1000 people per quarter when I was there in 2009.

Dr. Hardinger also wrote his own text books. He’d charge $35ish for them through the university publisher instead of making us buy much more expensive professionally published text books. I personally thought they were well written and his problem sets and worked explanations were clear and concise. All in all a great professor.

I buy new, end-of-year sales models. Drive them and sell them for a slight loss 2-3 years later to Car Max.

For example, let's say the new car is $50,000. I wait until it's $42,000 or whatever, buy it, keep it for 2-3 years, and sell it for say $37,000. I've done that 4 times now. I don't understand the business model of Car Max, to be honest. There seems to be a lot of people who believe used cars are good deals, I guess.
Due to universal administration over years. The polio vaccine is particularly an awful one, with only about 90% effectiveness (matching the covid vaccine) but the ability to cause polio as a side effect. Polio is nearly eradicated because so many people got the vaccine. It only works if everyone does it.

What's the benefit of doing this instead of just using the watchmedo command from watchdog directly ?

watchmedo shell-command --patterns="*.py" --ignore-directories --recursive . -c "pytest"

As a bonus, watchmedo works for your server, your bundler, you task queue process, etc.

It seems that there is no need to create one tool per command you wish to run. Or am I missing something? Do you only reload tests that are related to the code change?
>You can't expand housing supply if nobody wants to.

it's wrong to say "nobody" wants to. the problem is that the homeowner class holds all the political power, and so there is no greater political sin than decreasing the cost of housing (or "lowering property values" in homeowner terminology). if anybody cared what non-homeowners thought, there'd be plenty of will to build more housing. as long as so many people's net worth is tied to their housing, there will be no appetite for lowering the cost of housing.

Leetcode is leetcode. It's its own skillset within software engineering, one you often need to get a job, but it bears pretty little resemblance to any of the skills you need to deliver working, functional software that solves a user's problem. Practicing it will help you get better at it, which may help you land a job where you can practice all the other skills, but don't confuse leetcode with proficiency in software development.

Among other differences, leetcode teaches you little about reading large unfamiliar codebases; debugging; organizing large software-engineering projects; working in teams; teasing out actual requirements; making incremental progress; real-world performance (and the tools you need to identify bottlenecks); and most of the libraries and frameworks that are common industry knowledge.

I agree that the current consumption culture us bad, but socialism isn't the answer to that problem. All you need to do is to properly regulate capitalism, like some countries in Europe do. The only reason that doesn't happen in USA is that such regulations aren't politically popular. Socialism wouldn't help push through unpopular regulations, instead people would just vote to keep using oil anyway.

Ask HN: Should HN be spun off to an independent non-profit?
Hacker News is a great community, and I think it managed to stay this way because there are no incentives for it to show ads or grow. And, of course, because of the great moderators that work their magic, mostly behind the scenes.

Clearly, this could not have happened without YC's financing behind it.

However, I've started to ask myself if YC's involvement is still the best thing for the community. Today, there's a strong bias toward YC startups (e.g., when they are hiring or launching) which is still within acceptable limits and doesn't disrupt the community.

But this strong dependence on YC is not good, and could lead to more influence or bias down the road. YC is HN's benevolent dictator.

Would one possibility be to spin HN off into it's own non-profit entity and with it the moderation and tech (?) teams? I'm sure many regular HN users would gladly donate a monhtly or yearly amount to keep HN independent and going. I know I would.

Of course, this is something YC would need to decide. I'm aware that they probably get a good amount of their application through the "Apply to YC" link at the bottom, but this still might be the right thing to do.

Do you think the dependence is a problem? If yes, what other things could be done to decrease it?
Honestly, this would have been a great prompt in 1950.

Efficiently write notes and instantly access them across browser tabs.

Why?
A huge portion of work already happens in the browser. And if you’re like us, you also write companion notes to better understand the content and be more productive.

However, most note-taking apps interrupt the flow by forcing you to context switch, either by opening a new browser tab or app window.

Membr Notes solves this.

> Java servlets, Lua and PHP modules cannot be run securely, and there are vulnerabilities for all of them

The thing is, the JVM was designed with the explicit intention of making it possible to run untrusted code safely: how do we know we got it right this time? The problem really isn't the VM, it's the APIs and authorization model for access to the underlying system's features.
That being the case: advances in Tank Armor over the last 40 years have made the Air Force question the A10's ability to kill a tank (its original purpose).
That is equally reprehensible.
Nice advice. I always hear people suggest building some projects to learn the language, but I doubt if it's realistic given other constraints in life (I also tried it but the initial excitement wears off pretty quickly). In the end, knowledge can come from anywhere, we just have to find the right source.

> The US have played in secret against France in order to isolate it and to destroy its strategy in the region

Unless proven otherwise, this is a conspiracy theory. What are the reasons to destroy France's strategy in the region?

It's not like France had any strategy in the region anyway, rather they have business interest (50B lost ...), and well, they care about their islands - and not losing them. But let be honest, neither China, nor Australia nor the US is going to mount a military invasion against any of these islands!.. The threat for France is actually from within, as shown very well in New Caledonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_New_Caledonian_independen...). And New Caledonia might not be alone...

I heard (from The Drive https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42390/australian-navy-...) the French deal had gone up to $70 billion. Why is this fact not presented more obviously? France seems to have been soaking Australia for an inferior, non-nuclear submarine fleet. Why is it surprising or even controversial that they cancelled the deal? I realize France is doing a full time PR push, here, but it seems to come down to a pretty terrible deal that Australia doesn’t want any more. Seriously, $70 billion for 12 diesel subs??
I don't understand. How does “more than the sum of their parts” lead to “a ghost in the machine”?

Yup, that's a train. I really do wish US rail hadn't been turned into what amounts to private property. I live along the Amtrak Cardinal line and would love to use it to travel. But the low speed and frequent stops for higher-priority freight mean a trip takes longer than driving and usually costs more than I would pay in gas.

That you observe two different behaviours of light, one like a particle, one like a wave, and they clash and cannot both be true could be paradoxical. That one person says a rainbow is caused by farting unicorns, is not paradoxical.

We have agreed ideas on what it means "to be" someone, matching genetic information at the scene of a crime with a suspect says the suspect was at the crime scene. We also have agreed ideas that people cannot be in the same place at the same time, so if two people are in different places at the same time they must be different people.

The teletransporter makes it possible to have two people in different places (must be different people) who are also "the same" person by any other test we have. They can't be both the same and different, but paradoxically they must be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_paradox can be explained, that doesn't stop it being, or appearing, paradoxical.

The most useful way for me to think about a rebase is "replay my commits over an updated branch, as though I started coding when those updates had already happened"

So if you check out on day 0 and rebase on day 5, then it becomes "pretend I started coding on day 5 in the first place, and let me correct any contradictions (conflicts) as though I was making those decisions as I was making each commit".

I still struggle but this helps me conceptualize it.

Seems like this is a lot more realistic for pretty short commutes. For longer trips I assume they will eventually start charging batteries with fuel cells.
It's still the early days of this situation though. We don't yet have the full picture of what immunity actually looks like across a significant sample size of the population 12/18/24 months after being fully vaccinated. Giving access to "the poors" to get themselves tested would help us develop a far more complete picture of what immunity looks like, especially as variants develop. If 0.01% of people never develop antibodies, or they wane after 6 months, we'd not know if we limit testing to a select few high net worth individuals vs a much larger sample size. For the MMR vaccine, it's something like 0.02% of people just never develop antibodies. We're all paying for short-sighted, selfish thinking right now. I'm glad I can afford and have the insurance to pay for antibody testing, but I'd be happier if my tax dollars went towards letting more people get that testing, in the name of public health policy.

> I didn’t realize it was a paid product, and I’d bet that most of the “complainants” didn’t know either, or weren’t framing it from that perspective in any case.

No need to place or assume blame on the other commentors for not telling you about what was in the page.

> Furthermore, now that it’s being framed as a paid product for this discussion, in my view, I believe they will be more successful in sales of a paid “piece of software” vs a webapp/SaaS/monthly model.

This seems like another thing you are forcing onto "what a webapp must be". Nowhere in making a webapp is it required to use a subscription model.

Another way to think about it is since it's not using desktop integration specific functionality it's already an offline copy of the webapp right now as is with Electron. The app is just effectively browser restricted to that Electron version. Removing that restriction does not relate to changing the offline static site delivery model nor a change in the payment model.

> Likely this was part of their reasoning of going down this path if I had to guess.

No need to keep guessing. As you said the author has already responded to the comments. As I said the page already promises an upcoming web version. There is no need for theoreticals.

> Imagine car suppliers were only allowed to build 1M new cars per year

Analogies like this don't work and you know it.
This applies to mostly any other country in the world as I can't think of anywere where they regulate vehicle sizes. Yet you don't see nearly the same ammount of SUV in the roads. And in fact I think an SUV makes more sense in the third world: road maintenance is generally much worse with potholes everywhere; traffic enforcent much less effective, so speed bump everywhere too; a big truck is probably safer than a small car if you're about to get robbed in the street... the real "tragedy" of the US is people being too rich and things people worry about in other places like gas and financing being so cheap.

My hack to improve at a new programming language is to read its grammar. We instinctively try to learn programming languages the same way as we would a natural language, bottom up. But unlike natural languages, programming languages have complete grammars that can be read in a session. This will prime you with the right questions to ask ("WTF is an XYZ?").

Doesn't work for Clojure though :)

> Is it that some study shows certain actions can be predicted by brain activity before they are made?

Sure, and also experiments where people report making conscious decisions for actions who's speed precludes a path through the cortex.

What I meant by "... evolving neural activity .." was to explain how we feel as if we have a choice, and are making decisions, because before any action "decision" is made (motor control initiated) there will likely be a period beforehand where whatever triggered the action is being processed and the outcome is not yet clear. Eventually there'll be some sort of winner-takes-all collapse of the alternatives and one will dominate. In the prelude to final response, we have access to our "inner thoughts" and can see the indecision and process, and we attribute that to some theorized actor "my self".

Anyways, I'm not here to convince you about this. As sure as I am about this, I do realize it's a "contrarian" view, and that the feeling of self-determination sure seems convincing, even if rationally a scientist may realize it is not true.
Given that a business pivoted away from exactly this, when they had this up and running, I'd advise putting in some effort to find out why they did so first.
I continue to want a communal set of 50-100 million urls and data that are "good" (i.e. for any value of good and more complete than common crawl) that are accessible enough to be easy to work with that can be used to experiment with different web search tech. There are enough separate problems to tackle in web search that breaking it down would maybe move the needle. We have lots of kaggle competitions about ranking, but using closed data. What other types of kaggle projects would help web search?

What can we do to foster a sustainable bazaar of projects to make it easier to build web search engines?

I’m not sure why having the money is relevant. Plenty of companies, people, and governments ‘have the money’. The question is why it is specifically Apple who are obliged to provide welfare for this person at their own expense.

I have huge sympathy for human beings who are unable to work, and a humane society should provide for them, but I don’t see why it falls to Apple. This kind of populism (“person X or company Y should be arbitrarily forced to pay for thing Z, ultra vires, because they can”) feels like a lazy way to avoid solving a deeper societal problem which goes well beyond this one person.
