Not planning on getting dragged into a debate about whether GraphQL is a good tech choice here (even though I won't pretend i'm not a massive fanboy). But the "with-apollo" Next.js example used as a reference (and then decried as being a bad experience and unscalable), is a pretty bad representation of how it can feel to use GraphQL with Next.js.

I've never used Apollo in anger, but i've used Relay with Next.js for a few projects and it's been a dream. The biggest downside has been the size overhead of the Relay client itself (approx 40kb over the network), and the size of the serialized data (but that's the same price you'd be paying whether you were using GraphQL or not, just an unfortunate reality of the hydration model).
Zero page is great, but has limitations, for sure. Lots of moving stuff back and forth into the accumulator in order to do anything with it. And not relocatable like in the 6809 or 65816 "direct page".

Some nice simple extensions to the 02 architecture would be:

1) relocatable direct page and stack like in the 816. 2) some way of aliasing A to a direct page address to avoid doing it by hand.
I really want to say that I hate this, but I'm sure it was invented for a reason.

And as someone who used to write half a dozen indices on tensors in general relativity problems, I should probably not be so quick to judge.
Indeed. If they meant it, they would shut down galas and awards shows and just email or phone them in, if they mean something.

Instead they jet people in from all over the world, waste tons on new wardrobes for a one time use, buy multiple multi-million dollar properties adding to unnecessary demand, and then top it all off by showing us their fabulous yachts whiling away their time. You go, you protectors of the environment!

And they have the gall to tell the little people what to do.

Personally I very rarely re-read books so the concept of owning them just doesn't really matter to me. If my ebook collection suddenly disappeared I wouldn't particularly care, I already got the value out of them I was going to get.

As for physical books, I'm trying to get rid of 200 or so I bought pre ebooks and damn it's a pain.
I continue to see this idea posted in HN and Reddit programming threads and it comes across as ignorance more than anything. The reality is that nearly all new modern web applications will be written using react or vue, with a long tail choosing a more esoteric or experimental tool because it either fits the project requirements, or the team is willing to accept more risk in favour of some other benefit (often times just curiosity).

Considering you have so few language options for frontend webapp development (excluding wasm and other such options), this really isn't a surprise to have a handful of options either. I can name more python server frameworks that are used in earnest than I can name frontend frameworks.

Part of the difference for frontend frameworks is that there's so much variety possible. Nearly every server framework has the same general design and API - some kind of routing, route handler definitions, and some additional niceties like with, db connection handling, sessions etc. I can't conceive of any other design that would work better or even be sensible.

While components have become the norm in front-end, there's still plenty of room for different architecture and actual API to use and define components, and manage state. That's where the fun of writing them comes in, and where there is still likely a better react or vue lurking in the shadows or yet to be created.

Quartz watches are really magic in terms of keeping time. We take it for granted, but it's insane how accurate they are.

Watch accuracy was a big deal before quartz-based watches, because it was really hard to construct watches that kept time with the accuracy required for celestial navigation etc. Sufficiently accurate watches are a whole separate category, called chronometer. There are certification institutes that put watches through internationally standardised thorough testing to check whether the watch truly conforms to the chronometer label.

Even the cheapest quartz watch will pass the chronometer tests with ample margins. It's not even a fair fight.
Sure but at least to me personally, one of the goals of UBI is to eliminate the "it's just a job" mindset. People should do what feels fulfilling to them without being slaves of the wage.

But for now we can only speculate. I'm still super curious how will the whole thing turn out though!

> The pull-to-refresh implementation is a prime example of a buggy feature that was pushed out too early and only underwent sufficent testing only after it reached users.

I found out that this may not be accurate. Looking at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/21175, pull-to-refresh is simply absent from release builds, and only present in nightly builds. I wish it worked properly there though.
Yep, sustainable dependencies are a key criteria for us. I'm happy to see OSS with a big community or paid hosting. OTOH, grown wary to see VC-backed (esp. big rounds) or corporate side-projects (esp. at unicorns with high churn in teams + tech, or bigco's with no OSS community governance track records).

Yes, it's doable to replace things after a year or two. But, if a bunch of dependencies have risk, that turns into a rip-and-replace treadmill of negative customer value and burns out a team.
(Commenting because this mirrors a complaint I frequently see among "covid sceptics" which frustrates me greatly)

Expecting simple and final answers to questions depending on a myriad of factors (some unknown or even unknowable!) is stupid.

In my opinion, it betrays a complete misunderstanding of how <science> works, and what it can do; the fact that scientific consensus CHANGES with new data is central and necessary.

And it's also completely meaningless to complain about "disagreement between experts" unless you are willing to precisely lay out and compare all those base assumptions that were made to interpret and answer your question (something "sceptics" rarely bother with).

Sorry for the rant if I misinterpreted your position.
This makes me think of metro 2033 so bad, even to the dark post soviet bunker and admitedly cannibalistic feeling. I wonder what could have happened if a queen ant was introduced to the colony as a sort of experiment

I didn’t read it that way at all.

He is repeating what experts have said, which is basically, because Covid is dormant in animals and domestic pets, and because you can spread it while vaccinated, essentially everyone will eventually get Covid. If you are vaccinated, your symptoms will be, on average, less severe.
Worth highlighting the Open Book Project [1], an open source e-reader hardware design and software stack.

The design is open, and you can make your own with commodity parts. People are starting to sell PCBs, and complete devices.

It has its own open software stack, and I hope will have a variety of vendors in the coming years.

Ofc the e-ink patent issues remain, but this goes some of the way to solve things at the e-reader level.

My counter would be that it was traditionally never the paperback book's job to help you navigate the bookstore.

But yes, I'll grant that the Kobo's experimental browser (which I think is the component that powers all the pieces I mentioned above that are slow/cumbersome) is noticeably less responsive than the Kindle's. They could probably do some additional tweaking under-the-hood to make it more responsive.

Beyond a certain point, however, the only way to make it faster would be to increase the hardware specs and put a beefier OS into it. But at that point, you wouldn't really have a dedicated eReader anymore--you'd have something closer to a conventional tablet with just an e-Ink screen. And there are definitely markets for those (see any number of e-Ink tablets running Android), but then the price starts skyrocketing.
Yes, they can. This has been known since early in the pandemic.

And I'm supposed to believe it was absolutely necessary to shut myself in my house for months, and then not allow anyone else at all in my house for further months, yet Fluffy could wander around as they pleased.

My wife is a big reader and used to be pretty deep into the Barnes and Noble Nook ecosystem, but we found the Nook hardware to be pretty lacking.. loading a book onto a GlowLight was not a good experience, and that's from their shop directly, not even side loading.

After her 2nd GlowLight stopped working reliably I gave her my iPad Mini 4 that I wasn't using very much. She proceeded to kill its battery in about two years after countless books.. (it was already a couple years old) and was happy to be able to read Kindle now.

Apple gave us about $100 for it towards a Mini 5, she still seems happy with it. It's the perfect size for purse duty. I think the True Tone display helps with eye strain a little.

I read on an iPad Pro a decent amount but nowhere near as much as her.

Asking end users of your product to report issues via DM'ing your personal Twitter account, an account which is full of retweets of homophobic garbage, is really REALLY bad.

Quietly editing your comment after being called out to hide it is even worse.

I have an Onyx Boox Note Pro that I have had for about two years now. Not cheap (was $500 when I purchased it) but well worth it for me, given how much time I use it and how much space it saves.

I only use it for reading, so I can't attest to its writing capabilities. Or all the other crap that it technically supports, as it is an Android device.
Agreed. Part of the fun is all the danger that a bike brings. It's not a smart choice. It's a fun choice. There is nothing like hitting a perfectly banked road at a high speed and just feeling like you're part of the road. Nothing feels off and all you get is excitement. On the other hand, the 53rd car to make a left turn across oncoming traffic and not seeing you is exhausting. You always have to be exceedingly aware when riding a bike. One lazy mental moment and someone cuts you off and you go flying.

Chelyabinsk was lucky that the burst occurred very high in the atmosphere. Even with that, the amount of damage from the blast was shocking.
I had commented here before but removed the comment for this reason. It said "And I thought I had seen it all while still doing physics and math".

I think we just feel like people who are unfamiliar with math notation when they see a physics paper. It works for physicists - and well - but that does not mean that it is not absolutely inscrutable to someone who comes from a different field. Now for once we are the ones coming from a different field.
An ebook device can easily hold many books and makes it equally easy or difficult to switch chapters or switch books. I think that is the very reason I still much much prefer physical books. Picking up a physical book confines me to a set of hierarchic contexts -- the book, the chapter, the page. The contexts helps me to read and enjoy the book.

No, the percentage of porn content was actually relatively small at the time of the sale. Low to mid single digits if my memory is correct.

During Tumblr's peak heyday (~9 months before the sale iirc), Tumblr's daily posting volume was around 1/5th the size of Twitter's at the time. Keeping in mind that Tumblr had no character limit and much greater multimedia support, the amount of content being posted on Tumblr was quite significant.

It was a widely-used general-purpose social network / social publishing platform. Most major brands had a presence on Tumblr, and for a while it was extremely common to see a Tumblr icon on their sites right next to Facebook and Twitter icons.

From my POV as an early engineer there, what went wrong was poor execution in response to many simultaneous existential threats:

* Instagram succeeded at peeling off all the "just want to post photos on mobile" users, and also became the hit new thing with the teenage users

* Pinterest succeeded at peeling off all the "just want to digital scrapbook" users

* Although the porn percentage was relatively low at the time, it still scared advertisers

* Difficulty fundraising / running low on money at particularly bad timing. Facebook's stock performed poorly for its first 15 months post-IPO, and this temporarily made fundraising difficult for existing social platforms... especially when growth was relatively flat (due to the first two bullets) and revenue was disappointing (due to third bullet).

* Ever-growing tech debt. The early team was extremely solid, but very small relative to the amount of traffic, so we often had to creatively cut some corners. Later on, management didn't want to allocate staffing to fix existing things, and a lot of time was wasted on unrealistic big-bang rewrites that were abandoned. Meanwhile the hiring bar kept being lowered over time once the company was no longer a rocket ship.

I left just before the Yahoo sale, as working at Tumblr had gone from my dream job to a stagnant grind during my tenure there. I later returned for another year in the late-stage Yahoo into early Verizon days, with idealistic hopes of helping to prevent a Vine-like fate, but let's just say that was a poor personal decision and leave it at that :)
Fine, as long as you don't allow them on the sidewalk or the bike lanes.
Part of it is just dose. Moderna had different Phase 3 trials than Pfizer and didnt hone in on dose as much, so its shot was probably overkill. But seeing how it now seems to have more longevity, maybe that overkill comes with a bonus staying power.

Im not sure it quite works that way but maybe it really is as simple as "less more often" = fewer side effects, "more less often" = more side effect, less often"
For 2d games, Fennel with LOVE seems to be a maintained and good choice. Are there some Scheme 2d frameworks similar to LOVE that are still maintained and offer also packages with e.g. collision detection or physics? I have had a look at [0], but many seem outdated.

Thanks! Makes sense, that's what I want as well. So I've built a new clock that utilizes UTC, and rotates UTC according to your location on Earth. This basically maps UTC to all other times in the world and keeps only one reading of time globally at any given moment. So with that people can keep on using their local times, but also see/use the global UTC time in one clock. I made UTC as letters not numbers to distinguish between local and global times, but that's easy to change if confusing.
It'd be great if you can give me some feedback on the clock whether it makes sense or not. It's on thehtime.com.

Canada has a median income that is only 6% lower than the US. Describing it as "quite a lot poorer" is plainly nonsense.

GDPPC is a mean, and can be skewed by a smaller percentage of the population earning an very high salary. (The fact that the US has a higher Gini index (41.4% vs 33.3% for Canada) suggests that this is what's going on.) It does not tell you how "poor" or otherwise a typical inhabitant of the country is.
Yes, that's probably it. The customer experience depends on whether you (support) are in front of the computer. If you're not available, phone support means leaving a voicemail and playing callback phone tag across worldwide time zones. I'll take the chat window please.

A nice thing about chat is that it's easy to send and receive screenshots and links. Our customers seem to be pretty happy, but that probably has most to do with the quality of support.

I'm the GGP, and yeah video is a different app. I use whereby.com (formerly appear.in) out of habit, but probably will move to Jitsi soon. It would be nice if this was integrated into intercom.
Once, many years ago, my company was working with Tumblr on some kind of integration, and for some reason, the engineer I was working with emailed me a filed called something like tumblr.php that was the “show the main blog page” source. It was one of the most spaghetti-ish overly-long unreadable pieces of shit I’d seen in decades.

So this excellent set of tweets does not surprise me in the least.
Absolutely.

The trends and gimmicks have caused this “walled garden” effect. It’s made both “practical frontend engineers” and “practical frontend architecture” a rarity. If I could write this post again, I’d talk more about how most use-cases simply don’t need a “modern tech stack”.

React is basically a glorified templating engine that attempts to enable reactive mechanisms on the client. Need “reactive”? Consider Svelte as well. Don’t need it? Consider moving the render to the build and use a lighter templating engine.
What you are explaining to me is why you feel comfortable being able to prove your innocence if necessary. To that, good luck and it’s a pleasant way to view the world.

That has nothing to do with someone else leveraging gaps in the financial system and acknowledging those gaps exist. To that i would say AML/KYC/OFAC is the joke and should just be dropped since anyone can transfer any amount of value under someone else’s ID on a computer near where the compromised ID owner is expected to live.

There are open source tools to wear someone else’s face over webcam while holding up a doctored passport at 240p resolution. Even easier with a still image. And many places do not ask for more than just the ID itself.

I don’t really understand who the denial here is helping.
For remote locations without any other alternative. Mostly for drinking and high value uses, still very expensive.
Thanks! Will have a look at those

Conflating cost and price is a common habit it seems.

You get paid $22. That gets you about 2.9 gallons of gasoline in Denmark which converts to about $10 in the United States.

So, talking about how much the gross pay of Danish workers is without thinking at all about what they can afford to buy with that money is a true mark of economic ignorance.

The original point was that Matt Bruenig is a champagne socialist. "Denmark is great" is not a counter-argument to that.

You're correct, but the circumstances of the first atomic attack caused significant delays for accurate information to reach the Imperial General Headquarters. The first info stated that Hiroshima was devastated in an air raid, but the officers at high command considered this to be an error due to the lack of reports of hundreds of American bombers over the city on that day. However, they were unable to get any communication from Hiroshima (note that the military headquarters was at the Hiroshima Castle which was completely destroyed).

It didn't take days, but it did take many hours for Tokyo to realize that indeed Hiroshima was devastated in an attack. Some officers even thought it was a traditional bombing raid and that there was a technical issue or even sabotage with their communication lines between Hiroshima and Tokyo. Tho Officer Corps at first had little knowledge to understand that it might have been an atomic attack, and that therefore the war had changed in a very serious manner.
Actuary here. There's a subject called mathematical interest theory that explores time value of money beyond simple and compund interest that you learn in grade school. It makes use of this notation and is part of the US curriculum for actuaries.

For example, there's a concept of continually compounding interest as the limit of compounding frequency approaches infinity. Other growth patterns such as polynomial growth are theoretically possible. Anyone with basic calculus and algebra can learn it and it's a good subject for enhancing one's financial literacy. I'm surprised it's not taught in general finance.
