I don’t know how it was implemented, but Quora had this back in its early days (~2012). There was some mechanism that "remembered" which table lines were used to generate which UI component, and when that data changed you had a live-reload in your browser. That was really cool to see at the time; I’d love to have more background on its implementation.
Sure, anything in particular? The frontend uses Nuxt.js, which is great because it brings SSR and PWA support out of the box. It also helps you organize your code a little better. For the backend it's Node and MongoDB and for deployment I use docker compose.
Is just having a softer touch the answer?
What are you talking about passive cooling? The machines in question were noisy as fuck when they got hot, due to fan noise.
I'd say it's likely and not surprising.

NO ONE, in my experience, who is pushing any number of "radical improvements" (EVs, plant-based foods, etc.) has EVER TAKEN a thermo class or econ class to even being to grok reality of it. (I'm an engineer with an MBA who's founded 5 tech companies including roles of CTO and CFO)

Most propaganda spewed by the MSM doesn't even pass the simplest thermo or econ litmus tests of viability.

Far too many startups these days don't either.

Looks like a veracrypt problem then.
Guix isn't exactly an operating system though, it's a package manager, like apt on Debian.

The terminology went through some iterations, but according to the manual, Guix can nowadays refer to either: It's a "package management tool for and distribution of the GNU system" (emphasis mine). The distibution can be used standalone (in which case it's called Guix System), or as a package manager on top of a host system.
I'm surprised they don't use DNS sinkholes
I wonder if a carbon tax which subsidizes low emission alternatives could get across this way?
I've been using my own domain for a bunch of years and I'm not totally convinced it's worth it.

People are not used to email addresses with personal domains. I've had people get confused by my email address when I speak it to them. I've switched to just giving out my gmail address if I ever have to speak it instead of being able to write it down.

And developers don't account for custom domains when obscuring your email address. me@myfullname.tld is usually obscured as m**@myfullname.tld. That's pretty bad on password reset forms since it lets someone easily turn my username into my real name. If I had registered with myfullname@gmail.com, they'd get nothing interesting.
The federal reserve was able to intervene in much the same way in the US post lehman by being a lender of last resort and getting credit flowing again. The bigger problem with the 2009 crash was the massive recession that followed as the economic sectors built up around the housing bubble struggled to recover. If China's housing bubble collapses, it could still cause a big recession there with high unemployment while the economy adapts/adjusts.
On the About Gmail page, in large bold text is stated:

"We never use your Gmail content for any ads purposes" emphasis mine.

That might qualify as deceptive.
Just raise taxes on fuel. It has the added benefit of actually saving lives too. The higher the cost of fuel, the less people are killed by cars.

I don't see any reason for greenwashing, or fearmongering along the lines of "think of the children", or virtue signaling in general, to decline in effectiveness, so they'll likely keep on using those strategies.

Younger generations understand less tech than older generations, although they use tech more than older generations. What I'm getting at is a societal wide trend where young people are more likely to own an e-bike but old people are more likely to be shade-tree-mechanics doing their own car brake jobs or whatever. Young people own and use iphones and streaming, old people own and use hammers and soldering irons.
'compiler managed network' in here is a useful concept

buildsystems are increasingly doing the heavy lifting of telling backend how to deliver a pre-hydrated frontend, and telling frontend how to speak backend's language

> Tesla, which produces only electric vehicles, sells credits to other automakers to help them meet government vehicle emissions requirements, and says those credits are less valuable due to changes in rules made by former President Donald Trump's administration.

Funny that Elon Musk is strongly critical of big government and regulatory bodies right up to the moment where it is better for his profits.

FAA is bad for enforcing safety standards for rocket launches.

NTSB and state transportation departments are bad for wanting to ensure safety in self driving testing and rollout.

State health departments are bad for enforcing workplace covid mandates.

Democrats are bad for incentivizing union labor in auto production.

EPA is good for increasing the value of Tesla's emission credits. In fact they should be more strict!

Although I guess there's nothing more American than wanting socialism for yourself, rugged individualism for everyone else. Considering his pro-environment stance I wonder how he would feel about removing massive subsidies on the coal sector, which produces 40% of the electricity needed to power his cars.

Most effective way I've found of keeping out the noise is to put a few screening questions in place. Easy ones, maybe even a three line code sample (something that's almost fun to write).
If they begin the project knowing that it will one day be open source, they can build accordingly. Make the law only apply to products released one year after the law goes into effect.

> What if the code includes licensed software from a third party?

The third party would be subject to the same law, or the law could be written that liability is removed. Then it's up to the third party to evaluate the risk.

> What about trade secrets of the developer,

That's a tradeoff they'd have to make -- reveal the trade secret or pay to maintain the software.

> or information provided to them in confidence by a third party?

Since the third party would be aware of the potential for the software to be open source, they would have to decide if they want to reveal that or not, or require that part to be removed before open sourcing and replaced with equivalent functionality.

The way the US implements fuel economy rules are stupid. For example, a diesel motorcycle that gets 100 miles per gallon wouldn't meet standards.

Our fuel economy laws are the primary reason people have been moved from fuel efficient cars to much less efficient SUVs. It's very, very stupid.

Switching to ortholinear can really mess you up when you have to use a laptop or colleague's keyboard.
These split and ortholinear keyboards all seem to be compensating for the fact that we are taught to type keys on the left hand bottom row with the wrong finger.

The "Q-A-Z" slope goes completely against the natural angle of your left finger curl. Same for every finger on your left hand.

The right hand gets things right with "U-J-M" etc. Nice finger curl with your hand in a natural position.

On normal keyboards we should be teaching and typing the "W-S-Z" (or even "E-S-Z") column with your left ring finger, not the completely perpendicular "W-S-X".
> I’ll give you an example of a fort that I lost....

Sure, this is a great example of "Losing is Fun".

Here is my example. Note this is 10+ years ago, so some of the details are hazy, and this was my first or second fortress. I carve out an area for an underground farm, then designate the area for Farming. Something about "needing irrigated farmland" first, but the game doesn't tell me how I can issue an irrigation command.

Apparently, after checking the Wiki, the dwarfs won't irrigate squares they stand in. I need to carve out a room above my farm, designate a pond, task dwarfs to fill the pond, then channel water down to my farm. By the time I figured all this out, my dwarfs all starved.

Losing several times because I didn't read the wiki was not fun. I never got the chance to build a fort, where an "interesting story" had a chance to take place. To get to that point, I felt I would have to put some 30+ hours into the game just to learn the basic undocumented steps needed to build a functioning fort. There was too much "work" to get to the potential fun parts.

The steep learning curve, the terribly inconsistent UI, and Toady's lack of desire to do anything to improve these issues, pushed me to spend my fun time elsewhere. I plan on looking at the Steam release to see if anything has changed.
When are they going to push for taxes/penalties on power generated by coal?
I use adblock, makes it so much easier as an experience also surprises me how many companies are tracking me on some of these webpages. But, I am sympathetic to the idea of businesses depending on ad revenue.

I like how some websites e.g. news websites, put up a message that they depend on ad revenue and ask for adblockers to be disabled, I did it for some websites where I like the content, but then I also feel I am perhaps very unlikely to click on any of the ads (at some level I suppose my mind has learned how to focus on the content and ignore the ad space e.g. on google search I remember I had developed a habit of scrolling down and ignoring the first few ad results without actually consciously doing it). So, considering I am way less likely to click on an ad, perhaps I am not actually hurting the business, or maybe actually helping improve conversion if I can go that far :)..

But ex ante there wasn't assurance it would do so. In that interval, between the collapse and the aide, there was a lot of economic damage done. Far more than simply pivoting away from construction-fueled growth would explain. (The lesson was learned: our response in Covid is a recognition that moral hazard must take a back seat to systemic risk.)

I couldn't imagine there was any meaningful threat from malware in ads as every company from the Journal to the Times to Nordstrom would be screwed without ads.

It's almost always not the big sites that have malware in their ads, but the shadier parts of the Internet --- which people may inevitably need to visit at some point, even deliberately.

I wouldn't be surprised if they started recommending you whitelist JS next. That would be really "disruptive to the internet as we know it" --- and might actually make things better overall, as in returning to static text/image ads and pressuring sites that have no business being a SPA to go back to static content. Of course, I suspect the huge company whose name begins with G would not like that at all and will try its hardest to fight against it.

> Since the Chinese people are kept in the dark on such things, and not trusted with knowledge of even recent history (e.g., Tienanmen massacre, Great Firewall, constant censorship), they cannot be said to have any view at all of the reality. That is different from having an actual positive view.

Tiananmen is pretty well known. Hop on any Cab in big city, and ask the driver, and they'll acknowledge overtly or covertly that they know it. And some might even boast stories they know about that.

Great Firewall is also well known. GFW as a name is an invention of the netizens. As the thing was never publically shared.

constant censorship... Dont get me start on this! Deleting posts on Chinese online spaces are a Norm. Not only everyone knows that, they joke it daily or even every hour... The culture of "heihua 黑话" (speaking something in a different form that correlates through background cultural/semantic linkages like sleepy joe is nicknamed the sleeping emperor 睡王） is not only popular on public forums, they are regularly practiced in private chat.

Chinese citizens, on a relative scale, are much better informed about their society and the world, than US citizens. I haven't lived in EU, so cannot comment on that.
Absolutely incredible news.

Micropayments are one of the paths out of advertiser hell and were one of the original dreams of many crypto nerds and advocates.

I still think that twitter is pure mind cancer, but I have to give it to Jack on this. Great move, and something I hope gets repeated to the rest of the web.

Maybe.

I raise cows for myself and "F&F" consumption. In our case, they are sustainable: I own the land they graze on and the economics of raising them is quite simple. It's no more complex than balancing one's checkbook to show this.

Most other things are far less sustainable when you consider the industrial supply chains and the environmental impact of those. E.g. ANYTHING coming from manufacturing in China is already far, far worse.

Without reading the article I thought that's what they meant.

For me the biggest QoL improvement has been switching to a split ortho keeb (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd). They are super cheap to build (corne is 42 switches which are the most expensive component of a keeb) and once you get the hang of it they are superior to any other typing experience.

Learning how to use a 40% had a steep learning curve, but after a few weeks I was very productive and now I don't even think about the layers.

Since corne is so easy to build it's a great introduction into building your own keyboards. I just recently purchased the components from keyhive and I think I only spent $110 -- if that? That might sound expensive for a keyboard you have to build yourself but the prices for custom built keyboards can get insane (in the thousands)
The combination of the following seems like a key problem:

1. Refusal to break ABI compatibility (so no changes to existing APIs if they cause breakage)

2. Refusal to introduce replacement APIs which can exist alongside the old ones (so you also can't have, to use the article's example, "regex2")

In isolation, either of these policies is fine, but having both together seems like a refusal to improve.

> you'd rather everyone live

Yes, this is exactly what I say. I would rather everyone live in the World with cons of underregulations then in the World with cons of overregulations.

For me, overregulation is suffering too.

And honestly, even when people don't realize it explicitly, their acts are very much the same (90% of people know that meat increases emissions, still they eat meat; 90% of people know that petrol cars increase emissions, still they...; 90% of people know plastics pollute oceans, still they buy plastic things even when non-plastic alternatives are available).

There is demand for behaviors that have negative externalities. And it is massive, I doubt I even know a single person who doesn't cause any negative externalities.

Environmental laws have to punish individuals directly so that people feel that something is being done.

For example, banning plastic grocery bags instead of plastic food packaging, even though food packaging is a significantly higher proportion of litter.

The point I was trying to make is that choosing an optimum should be centered around the education of the world's children. Standard business hours are really a case of "well, we've always done it this way so why should we change," rather than "this the best thing for the everyone involved."

I think we are moving towards that somewhat, with companies becoming more flexible with working hours/locations in the past year and a half.

This guy is making a lot of inferences based on his own experience and I think he may want to consider hiring a therapist to work through these issues:

"In reality, we hire social media to distract our minds from our unpleasant, average life. And, by faking photos, to convince others, including ourselves, that our life is amazing while internally we are in pain."

If you recognize the pitfalls/dangers of social media, I think you can utilize the platforms if you are mindful without falling for those pitfalls/dangers.
