Of course it went nowhere, we have spent 10 years catching up with 2011, after killing Flash.

See Unreal Engine 3 demo on Flash.

And with Web 3D reflecting 2012 hardware in 2021, no wonder that the answer for ultimate 3D and good debugging tools is native on mobile, or server side rendering with streaming.
Combination of so much JS programmers being

This is the absolute state of this debate. You can not overtake if doing so requires exceeding the speed limit.

The best part is the same ignorant people develop the driverless cars, so we get Google cars that turn right across the bike lane instead of merging into it.

Why cannot they just keep the case open? No need to do anything actively. Just in case it's needed.
There are some exceptions (eg. older craftsman houses in Portland/Seattle seem to be appreciating as more of them are razed for higher density).

Craftsman homes are much more popular in those cities than any style besides possibly mid century modern.
"The annualised total return on the S&P since 2000 has been 3.31%". This is way off. I'm not sure what their mistake is.

The alfphaantagelive calculator is reporting much lower numbers than the real value.

Yahoo has a symbol for S&P 500 total return: ^SP500TR
Check out: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5ESP500TR/chart?p=%5ESP500T...

Punch in December 2000 for start and today's date for end.
You'll get 398% total return. 398/21 = 19% annual return.

Total return includes dividend re-investment.

The alphavatangelive calculator says 3.31%, but even without dividend reinvestment the S&P 500 reports 11% average annual gains.

This does not price in inflation which historically reported as 3% over long periods and was much lower until recently.

Damodran has as good historical financial returns summary page: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/... . According to the spreadsheet linked to on that page, S&P 500 returns with dividend reinvested is 11.64% since 1928. Assuming 4% inflation, that's 7.64% annual returns.

So going all in on the stock market over a long time you can withdraw 7%. Even through world wars, depressions and stagflation periods. Some decades will be better than others.

I will admit that I live in a place that does it right, namely Copenhagen. There is plentiful public transit, local shops and the entire city is extremely walkable/bikeable.

I don't live in the city center, it's a 25 minute bus ride there if there's no traffic, but even here I have local shops everywhere, since we don't have zoning laws that restrict shops in residential areas. Shops are generally open until 21 or 22, some until midnight.

My point is that the dependency on malls is not inevitable, it can be prevented and/or remedied, and changing zoning laws is one of the ways to do it.

My girlfriend lives in a town of 1500 people, and there are 3 grocery stores, several pizzarias and bakeries, as well as other local amenities. Everything is walkable and they have both train and bus connections to the nearest cities. That's how to do it, not the like similarly sized village in Germany she came from, where there are literally no stores, no restaurants, no nothing, and the only transit they have is a bus that runs every hour between 8 and 17 on weekdays. No wonder that town is dead.
Bidens' cult of personality is not going to be kind to you, sir.
Importantly for this use case, Scryer Prolog represents lists of characters very compactly internally, using a sequence of raw bytes! It is the first Prolog system to use this efficient representation. This helps considerably when processing huge amounts of data, for example when parsing large text corpora with Prolog's built-in grammar mechanism, definite clause grammars (DCGs).
Thanks. That shouldn't be difficult to implement. Added to the todo.
You're either being facetious or ignorant. The marketing name of a model, especially nonsensical terms such as "blue motion", are clearly recognized by anyone as being pure marketing terms chosen for aesthetic reasons.

By contrast, car features generally have non-misleading names - "anti-lock breaking system", "cruise [speed] control" etc. "Full self driving" goes beyond the pail any way you look at it. It is a very explicit name: it means very specifically that a car can drive itself, with no human intervention whatsoever. Even more, Elon Musk, the CEO of the company, has repeatedly claimed to buyers that FSD will allow the cars to work as robo-taxis that can be allowed to work for their owners while their owners are otherwise occupied. This again very explicitly says that FSD doesn't require any human intervention whatsoever.

The fact that, after realizing that it obviously is nowhere near close to such a thing*, they started putting in warning that Full Self Driving is in fact not full self driving in any way shouldn't excuse them. They have obviously repeatedly lied and misled buying customers, and the name has to be changed.

*(and won't be in the next 50 years, most likely, until we actually start seeing AGI or something)
I had a similar setup running for two years day and night in the South of Portugal (also very sunny) without any issues. I used two very old 120W solar panels, a Victron charge controller and a 60Ah deep cycle battery running a 4G Modem/Router/Wifi and a security camera. At the house, which was some 300 meters away, I had a Ubiquiti Nano that connected to the modem and my wired network.

I suspect a 300Ah battery with 600W solar panels would take you through the Winter in the UK and similar latitudes.
GitHub / NPM / Twitter together with the conference scene seem to be leading to some form of insta-gramification of open source and programming in general it seems.

Edit: Maybe HN is to blame as well.
I think you're overestimating your importance, and for me that notion is indeed the crux of the matter, that ultimately also leads to QAnon, etc:

It's a misconception that scientists gather in their ivory towers and spend weeks and months scheming, how they can rub it in to the plebes that they are smarter. Most are not interested in that, and, I'd say, all have something better to do.

There are many, much easier, and much better ways to get into a position where you can live out your inferiority complexes. You think that's the motivation of someone going through grad school, doing a PhD, a couple of PostDocs, then tenure track, etc.

I admire Feynman and Einstein as the next guy, but they lived in an academic environment that is vastly different from what we have today.
> …bit of reverse proxying with Nginx is needed also…

Nginx reverse proxy has capability of caching static assets, does it mean most of the website is actually being served by cloud? So, technically raspberry pie should be consuming power only when cache timesout.

It's NOT legally OK. The license permits use of the copyrighted work with certain terms, attribution being one. That term was violated, just as when a big company takes a low level gpl driver and uses it without releasing the source. AI could have rightly been subject to a DMCA takedown, which is a legal action, for example.
This is all pretty ridiculous.

> Both Khullar and one of his sources, Vinay Prasad, have venture capital funding from Arnold Venture for projects that help hospitals reduce costs by cutting care. Thus, they stand to gain financially by minimizing the reality of long covid.

That’s an absurd definition of conflict of interest. It’s like someone writing an article about fruit and noting that the person holds stock in an insulin manufacturer.

The piece doesn’t say long COVID isn’t real. It examines one side of patient advocacy, specifically a huge Facebook group that’s whipped people up into a frenzy; now they’re blaming pretty much anything on long COVID and the head of it has made some obviously silly assertions such as there being no mild COVID cases.

Have criticism about journalism, fine, but this response is reaching as hard as it can to find things to complain about. Clearly the New Yorker article struck a nerve.
It does not follow that 0 days mean every piece of information in apple’s control will be stolen. Historically apple 0 days have been used to target high level targets, usually journalists, and not appropriate (or usable) for removing all data from all iPhones.

Something Apple should fix, sure. But not something that I’m going to delete all my Apple Health data for.

Behind the pretty facade there's a hyper competitive environment inside the JS community, sometimes with very low stakes. What's the incentive to fix fundamental issues if the metrics for success are stars and forks?

The best way to avoid their insanity is to use JS as a target language, pick some of their good tools and move on with life, working with safer languages.
Necessarily, any two paragraph comment on relationships is going to be a simplification. :) But I still contend that the simplification is basically true: some people, during their youth, believe that they never want commitment. For many of those people, their preferences shift, but for some, they don't. Not all the people who prefer non-commitment are "emotional fuckups," but I'll allow that some are.
> This has been such a mistake, now it needs "await" all over the code.

Await is just a syntactic sugar, and quite a good one I think. You need to seperate async and sync functions somehow in order to prevent code from blocking the main thread.

> Programs run synchronously and only needs to go async every once in a while but things get pretty verbose from it.

Well I would argue that most things a program does (besides crunching raw data within memory) is asynchronous. Network requests, painting to screen, polling IO ports, fetching from the Filesystem, handling user interaction... these are all examples of asynchronous operations.

It's simpler to have a single-threaded event-loop rather than spinning up threads and keep track of them, preventing deadlocking etc...

A single-threaded event-loop also has the benefit of being incapable of dead-locking, as only one thread is accessing variables at any given point.
The US Government is trying to do infrastructure right now. To the tune of $3.5Tn over 10 years to make up for the lack of investment over decades. And it includes charging infrastructure and more. The budget has been balanced and paid for, thereby not impacting the deficit.

> Biden is proposing a $174 billion investment into electrifying cars and trucks in the United States. It would establish grant and incentive programs for state and local governments and the private sector to build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2030.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/31/business/biden-electric-v...

America's infrastructure in such bad shape that there's a good chance that the arteries of US commerce will start having an increase in catastrophic failures leading to death.

But it's being pushed back against, because well, reasons. This spending, to transform America's degrading infrastructure, will come out to $350Bn/yr. The Middle East & Afghanistan wars come out to, $355Bn/yr at - $6.4 trillion over ~18 years. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/20/us-spent-6point4-trillion-on... . The tax cuts under the last administration come out to $200Bn/yr. Neither of these - the wars and the tax cuts - have been balanced and are coming out of America's ballooning deficit.

If you would like the Government to do more of this, please call your representatives and vote for people who invest money towards a better future for everyone.
Yes. And if you look at even the rosiest FSD beta videos online you know it's nowhere near as good at driving as a human, yet people always come into these threads talking about how if it's better than humans it should be used and ignore that the premise is false.
> When you're on the open road and the speed limit is 55mph, but everyone is going 80mph+, then anyone going the speed limit is a hazard

I wrote a static website for a family business using vanilla html - it has been up and running for several years.

I also have an (abandoned) website using a markdown to html converter. I've switched converters two times because they eventually broke over the years, and finally moved to plain pandoc + script the last time. Even then, the CSS somehow broke and I haven't fixed it yet.

Maybe my next project will be to convert it to html-only and actually add updates instead of just dreading to pick it up and find another broken tool.
Here's some input: how about, instead of doubling down on censoring and tools to filter/limit speech, they stop littering our timeline with tweets from people you don't follow and promoted Taboola-style ads?

Hard to tell if a tool is useful if there is not high quality research backing up the claim. That a tool is used, especially in psychology, does not mean that it is useful or a good model of actual human psychology. Freud's stuff is a great example of this. None of it has any basis in reality or formal research, but it was still widely used for many years.
Can confirm that it's truly horrendous.

Since switching to that grade of service I have consistently had captcha challenges every time I go through paypal (despite it saying 'we recognise you on this device...'), my Unifi VPN fails to work, despite following several guides specifically for double NAT (I'll probably end up with wireguard), and most recently my O365 endpoint failed to talk to me, as one of the half-dozen IPv4 addresses they route out of had been marked by Spamhaus.org, which a) is identified a woeful arrangement in itself, and b) took me two days to get rectified by the ISP by switching which address I came out with (a minor change which resulted in a 24 hour total outage).

I did ask about IPv6 - but nothing about that experience screamed 'we're ready to move our customers to IPv6', as you could imagine.
Eventually, when Twitter has become not Twitter, someone will reinvent Twitter.
This just seems like an ad. As building another calendar app doesn’t seem that newsworthy, I can only imagine TechCrunch writing about this because they are a subsidiary of Yahoo.
Ignoring the rent vs own part of the article, and just looking at the title:

This is one of the best uses of AirBnB currently! It circumvents or avoids most local prohibitions against short term stays (airbnbs) because these are long term stays over 30 days. Its one of the best options for having a furnished place already.

If you aren't budget constrained its a great way to mix things up.

By that I mean maybe you are still renting at a homebase elsewhere without even bothering with subletting, or maybe you do home improvement things in your airbnb such as getting a fan or pillows or dining sets that you are going to leave there, but improve your life while you are there.

This isn't stuff you have to be rich for (by US standards), but it is something you have to be in a fairly privileged place for financially, so that's nice. And honestly, didn't these last few years teach you all not to delay satisfaction, don't worry about the most optimal financial situations if you in fact can financially accept the consequences. Doing something like that for a few months or even most of a year doesn't impact your ability to save up for a house or get yourself stuck in a mortgage for an additional thirty years, I mean that's many of you all's plan right? So just live a little and do whatever you want.
From those videos it's obvious the product is definitely not working if we take the name of the product at face value

> they keep conspiract-minded people from harming the rest of us

Do you have a link to a study with adequate controls demonstrating that the Covid vaccines substantially reduce transmission?

Race isn't the only dimension on which segregation can exist. For instance, it could be decided that Muslims should be excluded from public accommodations. They could always just choose to renounce their faith!
> it's somewhat interesting that we don't consider the source code history in our OSS licenses

I think it would be too restrictive. It might prevent you from working differently for no clear benefits. However, keeping the history is an easy way to track who contributed what so you probably should keep the history of projects with more than one contributors or you lose precise attribution in practice (apart for the other obvious reasons to keep the history).
We’re talking about a terminal colorization function though. Fragmentation of packages aside, are there any other languages that have terminal text colorization built into the standard library?

> Similarly, there was a time when C was the only sensible choice to write anything non-academic, non-toy. It's not like people didn't know about OOP or functional programming back then, but it wasn't a realistic possibility.

But the elephant in the room? What about LISP?

To try to answer that by myself:

My guess is that (too?) "advanced" technology (at some point in time) doesn't get any traction on the mass market. That's another reason mainstream languages and tools lack significantly behind academia in my opinion. If something is called "academic" that implies "not pragmatic enough for use" for a lot of people, I suspect. (The LISP story has more to it but this would be largely off-topic so not going into that).
Cities are like companies the big ones are ineffective at management or providing services. So when you need city services you go to a smaller city to actually get them.
Covid and extreme liberalism killed mine.
> From everything I've heard of Tesla self driving is that per-mile it is more safe than human control (consequentialism argument for self driving).

I think this might not be true! I looked at the numbers a few years ago, and Uber had a much higher fatality rate per mile driven then human US drivers. Waymo was better; I forget if it was better than human or not. I couldn't find comparable Tesla numbers --- only PR-style numbers that could be based on all sorts of weird definitions --- but I don't get the impression that they're at the head of the pack.

EDIT: The number to beat is around ~15 deaths per billion miles driven, on the road in the US.

That doesn't conflict with anything they said.
Article author here, your question is actually a really good one as I'm a bit of an Nginx newb and your comment had me wondering that too. However for the past few hours since this article has been shared the hits have gone quite crazy according to the Raspberry Pis access.log, and the Pagekite.py process is constantly around 30-70% CPU usage, implying a heavy load as normally it uses nearly nothing.
Does Nginx reverse proxy cache by default? I'm assuming not given my current results.
Only just now noticed I've worked with Andrey on several issues in other projects he's involved with (there are many).

For what it's worth, these dealings left me with a very solid impression of his person, one that his current behaviour does not at all match.

It is either just a really bad judgement call and an even worse handling of the resulting fallout, or, if something fishy is indeed going on, the result of some external source of pressure (blackmail, money problems, compromised account, ect.).
Author here. Yes. Texts says "If classical logic is based on set theory", that is I am comparing the relations to set theory and category theory to that between classical logic and intuitionistic logic. I will try to fix the ambiguity.
The title got cut off, and is now incomprehensible; it is "one of my most downloaded Node packages", not "one of my most downloaded nod".

Very nice writing except the python part. Just 2to3 really have been a maintenance pain for me. The hardest part with script languages to actually know if somethings is wrong or not without extensive testing.

Writing something maintenance free should be done in a compiled language.
This is really cool. I was looking into latticework for a UI experiment the other day and was struck by the design of this stool from a few dynasties earlier:
