This would be news to me! Sources please? I'd love to learn more about that.

Also, your analogy doesn't hold; the failure mode of 'early zeppelins' or pretty much any other technology is very temporary. Nuclear fallout is very long.

I agree technology has gotten better. To be clear, I think we should build more nuclear plants.

But it is false to state that the failure modes of wind/solar and nuclear failures are ~equivalent.
Seems like cars are much less reparable than those from the 80s which are then worse than 60s. Electronics are part of this, but so is making cars lighter, more integrated, more fuel efficient. Old cars it is e.g much easier to do a tranny rebuild, new ones they are too damn sensitive and its much harder, and this extends to doing basically any repair. If larger laptops that are easier to repair are good for consumers you'd think so would cars like that, but no, fuel efficiency must trump all.

Thanks for the comment. Thinking out loud, for prions is not the requirement that they "[act] as a catalyst, lowering the potential energy barrier ... to the point where e.g thermal fluctuations allow it to cross that barrier" also a guarantee against this type of ice-9 "infection" scenario, because the equilibrium of the environment itself would be so impacted and be absorbing that energy and then causing unfavorable conditions to the reaction at the reaction's frontier even? I more-or-less equate that to the "supercooled water + normal ice" reaction of how much energy delta you can create allows you to make a small energy explosion reaction/state-change/etc that isn't truly an "infection" but just a localized energy transfer.

But okay, after stating this very interesting mechanism in that form, I see the point being made by others. This catalyst-style mechanism which can induce physical changes in the environment without itself changing could be exploited on scales that would allow one to "maliciously/adversarially" create a chemical / energized substance that would catalyze say a lake or an ocean into freezing / sublimating.

However, I find it impossible to see how such a transition could be found for water though, and it seems to me the nature of the prion & proteins is that the prion requires some level of complexity in the matter it interacts with to cause this energy transition. For more exotic substances than water, or perhaps water which itself holds a large amount of solutes satisfying some characteristic, I could see it.

I appreciate your insight into this matter clarifying the prion mechanism especially. I am also not well educated on these matters so hopefully it doesn't stink too bad :)

Story on Wiz is since I’m a growth engineer I tend to think about usage on a more psychological level (optimizing for reduced friction and simpler onboarding). I found that most libs in F# have the .net APIs right in your face so users need to learn both. (E.g. I would define route handlers in the http library but if I want to change the server port I have to look at dotnet docs.)

If F# is to be successful, I think more attention needs to be made to build abstractions on .net APIs.
(20% serious) Play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. A useful thing to do there is to rush-buy improvements, but to spend just enough energy credits that it gets finished the next turn. For example, if it would take 52 credits to purchase a Recycling Tanks, and the base produces 3 minerals per turn, then you want to spend 52 - 3 * 2 = 46 energy, and the game would let you do that. One does quite a lot of arithmetic that way...

There are many Esperanto communities around the net, podcasts, radios, zoom meetings etc. But I want to tell you about an alternative, Interlingua (IALA) which is a pan-romance conlang designed for "comprende a prima vista". I've been learning it for some time now, and while I progress in Spanish and Latin (using Lingua Latina per se illustrata to self study) the basis I hold from Interlingua really helped me in grokking the two linguas materne... And actually a Galician professor has been in the news for going viral on TikTok speaking and writing only Interlingua to the millions of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian speakers [0]. It's a fairly interesting language, and easy to grasp for English speakers I think since most of the Latinate spelling are really similar to English rendition of them (but pronounced regularly like Italian or Spanish).

For Toki Pona, it's a really interesting language. I should dedicate some time to learn it... A minimal language that can endlessly be extended as long as your speaking partner understand your terms. That's an intriguing prospect.

It used to try to be like that. Only calling setState re-renders things. And you control state and when to render.

Until the hooks introduced.

Now it also want to handles all the state and timing for update. And you are no longer able to call from outside or decides when to render (in a simple manner, as there are still workarounds).
Seems like we're reverting to an old class divide. Aristocrats who get paid for having money, and peasants working the fields and told there's no money with which to pay them.

Let's not lose the plot here. I was critiquing a piece called "Math Foundations from Scratch". It's a little hard to tell whether it was intended to be pedagogical, targeted toward people who didn't already understand the foundations of math, or a sort of review or reference, targeted at those who did. But either way I think it fails, notwithstanding the fact that the specific flaw that I cited, a circular definition of the word "number", appeared in the context of a discussion of natural numbers.

That's my opinion. I've explained at some length why I hold this opinion, but it's still just my opinion.

It is still a poor analogy, and the fact that a better analogy undermines the original point should suggest that the original point is flawed. Saying "I need a hammer" and reaching for a house frame is a poor choice. Saying "I want something simple that will just work" and reaching for a framework is the root of the author's woes. They don't even explain what the specific technical grievances are, it's just one drawn out analogy.

If they want a hammer to build a house, they'll need a screwdriver, and tape measure, and a table saw. They looked at a few toolkit options on the shelf, got tired of reading the instructions, and ranted.

To be fair, I'm sure frameworks in 2005 _were_ cumbersome. (I'm frustrated enough using Spring in 2021, but I still recognize that it's a fully featured house frame ready to go)
What I did not know is that because hydrogen has various isotopes such as deuterium (D) and tritium (T), some rarer forms of water exist.

In addition to ordinary water (H2O), you can have semi-heavy water (HDO), heavy water aka deuterized water (D2O) and super heavy water aka tritiated water (T2O).

Tritiated water is radioactive.

But what happens when there are more than two or three transformations?

This is a contrived example in terms of the actual functions being called, but it's not out of the question to have at least this many transforms (just think of a method chain of more than two or three operations if you are coming from an OO point of view).

My main reason for replying to this thread is to counter this idea that pipes are inelegant—this simply isn't true. At the same time, I personally don't care if they make it into JS or not.

You're just as likely to get the wrong prescription with an optometrist -- they're relying on your self-report after all -- except it's harder to correct, because you need to go and make another doctor appointment to have it corrected (vs using the machine again).

Also, if someone feels they would get better vision correction working with a trained professional, I'm fine with that. I only object to _requiring_ a doctor's prescription to get glasses.

'Effective minimum wage' is Ernie Tedeschi's hobbyhorse and has little to do with my point. I'd like to live in a world where minimum wage was irrelevant because business owners grow their companies efficiently and pay a salary that is fair according to universal consensus, but gig work tells us all we need to know about the effectiveness of a price floor for protecting those around the poverty level from completely devaluing low skill labor.

I remember your thread. I didn't comment because I don't know what XR is.

However, on the note of dev laptop power, I believe that when you're starting out, going for cost effectiveness is key. You learn useful skills because your laptop is underpowered. I can confidently say my skills around process management and profiling are above average because of how I used an eMachines Atom processor netbook for nearly 7 years before moving onto a mid-range laptop (Dell Vostro i3).

I use a Dell G5 SE and a ThinkPad P15s (setting this up tomorrow) now, and I'm fairly happy with their power. I still have an Intel i5 5th Gen desktop, which runs quite well even today. I want to upgrade it, and when I do, it'll be for a threadripper or at least a Ryzen 9.

That is not to say that I don't try to write performant code. At work, we test our apps on a Google Compute VM that offers just 2 GB RAM, and I need to ensure that my applications scale horizontally and not vertically. At the same time, at home, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 bramble running k3s to run my code. I have to ensure that whatever I write works on it. Getting things to run on ARM has been a journey without ever having an M1 Mac.

I believe that once you're fairly confident in your skills, you should get a performant machine if you can afford it. Boot speeds and the processor save you a lot of time. However, if you are the sort to let your development machine change the way you code, then you have other problems. Irrespective of what machine you use, you should be writing efficient code. I tell a lot of new software developers to still learn C because of how it teaches you memory management. Even if you never write c ever again. Thinking about memory, and how your code is using - or misusing - memory, is a first principle. You should be thinking in first principles anyway.
> Most will expect respect for their time and conciseness by default

In my experience, that expectation is quite often faulty: they complain about something being too long for, but what's really going on is they don't know what being informed is (and are satiated by superficial understanding), or they don't know how to effectively communicate something (absolute most concise representation is often pretty poor).
>Hacker News is turning into a place where, especially for discussion of "popular" programming languages, the commenters seem to be largely those who don't have a solid foundation in the specific topic that's being discussed, but seem to believe they're experts

This is just HN in a nutshell.

I've been wanting to write a blog post for a while about this topic. I have a pet theory that the HN 'feature' of not implementing direct comment reply push notifications (ostensibly a feature to dissuade flame wars) leads people on HN to make very strong statements they often can't defend.

I think it's ultimately a net negative for the community. I get not wanting flame wars, but when you make strong statements on platforms that have the tools for better comment section engagement, you often have to defend your statements. I think this is a good thing.
It's crazy to characterize those models as "phenomenally low confidence," and it seems at this stage that that ignorance is highly likely to get a lot of people killed. It was basic physical chemistry.

This one's a tough one - I've worked on a number of existing (legacy/non-greenfield projects) and on most of them I've just gone with the flow (do whatever the current version does) and that was the right thing to do because they were huge codebases with lots of people working on them.

Sometimes codebases do need a v2 though, and doing it iteratively seems like the safest approach, but it's easy to do a v2 just because there are multiple small issues with v1 etc etc
