This certainly is akin to what I had in mind, and looks really great. A couple of thoughts:

1) Ideally the framework is polyglot (Go seems sensible though)

2) I wish they had queues/events that were wired up to functions

3) Not sure if using autoscaling k8s services under the hood as opposed to serverless functions is the right choice

4) A bit too opinionated on DB/Auth (maybe I don't want to use Postgres)

5) With all of the above you could get really great end-to-end integration tests as unit tests that I don't see them taking advantage of
Agree with this I think the other thing to consider is that this is probably a long term fee to help keep a niche business afloat. They probably can't keep enough revenue coming in to support the business long term just by device sales. I think it's hard for a business like this to survive long term without a recurring fee model.
I'm being a bit future-looking here and considering alternatives to the gen3 reMarkable, not the current hardware. Specifically, the PineNote seems like it could fill the niche for me.
I just returned it at the end of the two week period.

Before even asking them any questions I would prefer to research the founders, board members, investors and their previous experience. My personal preference is to look for founders that are well connected and have launched successful companies then handed them off for others to run after some time. I try to avoid startups that have leadership with multiple prior criminal indictments.
You mean like museums, PBS, NPR, the military, CO2 scrubbers in power plants? There are plenty of examples of obviously-good products and services that require alternative funding mechanisms for a variety of reasons, including network effects (increasing returns to scale), inability to collect small payments, and inability to track usage. Social media has elements of all of these.

It's a well studied problem that applies to a long list of markets.

Good for you. I'm happy you were able to straighten out your life.

A few months ago I watched a child, maybe 11-13 years old, run out of a hospital barely clothed. A security guard ran after him and must have wrestled something away. Then the child kept jumping for what the guard was holding, like jumping for a toy. The mother ran after him with clothes.

I felt so bad for the family.
When they start handing them out, just figure out how to get one. Then the website listed and your orb can rake you in all that sweet crypto cash.

This seems like a solution to a problem that isn't really a solution.
That's not how progress in anything, whether it's increasing complexity in evolution of life or the advance of civilization, has ever worked.

We do new things, and figure out how to manage the fallout for the successful things after the fact.
Our particular market we've created not valuing something very highly, and society not valuing something very highly, may have a lot of overlap, but it's not perfect.
I don't want to hate on Next, because I do like using the framework, but a new major version every 5 months for the lifetime of the project? How does anybody actually develop an application when you have to spend so much time keeping your framework up to date?

I'd think of a Next-driven BE as a BE for FE. And since it's co-located, You can share types, validators, utilities, (mental) models, etc. across the same codebase.

A technique that does have its place. Not always. Maybe not even half the time. But cleverer people than me use it to some effect.
But they also weren't a large contributor. In California over 3 months wildfires released more than 75 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. That number is larger than any year in the past 20, but it's also never expected to be 0. The annual worldwide CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels is expected to total about 33 billion tons this year.

I'm not sure what the sum of all wildfires over the year were, but I can't imagine they'd make any sort of dent compared to just burning fossil fuels.

I live in hippy dippy trippy California, and I think we have it right here: preschool is about teaching/practicing kids social play skills and emotional literacy.

In the 'nuclear family' age, without a ton of kids to play with, it's important for children to socialize, and learn how to negotiate play successfully, without resorting to kicking and punching and so on. Learning to identify feelings, take actions on them, etc. It's a lifelong course, so it's not being 'solved' in pre-school.

In terms of curricula, yeah there's some stuff, but sometimes that curricula is "play in the dirt" and "lets find bugs".

It's also a coop pre-school, so I attend the classroom, which is very awesome.

Right, absolutely. Decriminalization or outright legalization has some benefits in this world.

Biggest issue I see there is that you still have to deal with corruption or infiltration by those elements too, who want their pound of flesh (and not to mention, in some of those countries, the cartels have the willingness, and the equipment and ability, to go to war with the police/military to keep their operation going).
The opposite is also true, many startups have come out of the woodworks during the COVID market craze to go public because the money is there (SPACs are the extreme example).

Not just insects. Where I used to live even birds had left. A decade of stronger regulations and cleaning the closer by river made animals come back. And the river started to look less like a sewer and more like a river.
The pollution that kills insects is not good for humans either.
Yes. It’s very good for the project (and the NSA), not so great for users. I’m responding to the comment that prefers to give biometric data to some random private company
I have worked with this type of material.

It depends a lot on the strength of the underlying layers.

If it is just cement, it takes bits of dust/debris with. If it is stained wood, it can peel some of the stain off if it is left on for a while. If it is painted drywall, it can peel off any little bits of poorly primed paint unless a heat gun is used to gently remove it by softening the adhesive (even this can be tricky though…). On glass it’s perfect :)

For a robust epoxied wooden gym floor, it would be a clean removal.
Less glib, we’d be in a lot better shape if governments didn’t allow companies to externalize their costs in pursuit of limitless profits. Nationalization is not strictly necessary, but the solution to these types of problems are incompatible with capitalism as we practice it today.

Poor people are compensated by separate welfare programs.
I wondered exactly the same, for years, and have, for years, not seen an answer.
I'm not in favor of sin taxes, but even if these items were taxed at the standard rate, these percentages wouldn't change. If anything, it shows that there's a great chemical dependency that should be addressed and taxation isn't an effective way to promote societal change.
You're not putting that on the child, you're putting it on the parent. The children will put pressure on them without being hurt in the process. I've seen similar things with smoking - children are taught smoking is very dangerous and they start asking their parents why they smoke. "Are you going to get lung cancer too, dad? Please quit!" I know of several cases where the parents quit smoking in part because of their children. The children felt really proud of themselves, which is great.
Insects are seriously part of eco-system, what part of that is not important?

pp remarkably off-topic and additionally self-defeating.
That was due to the weather: very good in srping, no huge heatwaves killing insects and plants, enough rain, and in some places even too much and circumstances became superb for mosquitos.
Rust isn’t even the only mature systems language that offers memory safety.

In this thread people have thrown Haskell and Perl as examples of languages not suitable for writing a kernel and while they’re right it’s still a straw man argument because they’re exampling languages that nobody is advocating for kernel development.
Those advantages are not any kind of protection against addiction; if anything, they're a risk factor.

I have no idea what "cultural rot" means. I do know what nihilism is; I don't think it is a philosophy that predisposes people to addiction (could be wrong about that).

"Indulgence" would be when you do what you feel like doing, even if you think you shouldn't? OK, so your relatives indulge themselves. Almost everyone who can indulge themselves goes ahead and indulges themselves. Privilege comes with costs.

Certainly it could still be useful without internet access, but it can't compete with Google Drive or iCloud unless you can easily access your data from anywhere and share with others.

They are mostly software but the actual time critical RF stack isn't, those esp's have that in HW (at least their manual suggests that) and the remainig Bluetooth or wifi stuff does not need to run in an interrupt disabled critical section, so can work fine with an time critical app, but naturally depends on how much transmissions need to happen and how time critical and compute intensive the application is.

Without the full article it's tough to say, but my refute would be about my local environment. There has absolutely been a MASSIVE decline in NATIVE insects (among other things). Instead we have more asian beetles, emerald ash borers, and japanese beetles than you can shake a stick at. So while yes, technically the numbers may remain neutral, I'm not sure we can call it a healthy distribution.
To be fair, some of these updates are more significant than others. This one is probably the biggest since I first tried Next. React Server Components has the potential to make me consider using Next for static (MPA) sites again, which I’d previously written off because of the double payload problem.

Going to tell my story, again, as I think it's important.

Remarkable seem like the type of company that are pouring money into marketing and not much else. To their detriment.

I bought a Remarkable 2 in September. Realized I did not want it, because it was missing a core feature I needed (the ability to search hand written notes, which Goodnotes does, Remarkable does not). Remarkable sends their products via DHL. Who, separately, are an awful shipment carrier.

I called DHL, to have them return to sender (requested by Remarkable). DHL, after 2 days failed to do this... they kept trying to contact whomever had the shipment... why they can't just mark it as return to sender in their system? No one knows.

The product arrived at my doorstep, no signature, just dropped on the porch. Okay.. great. I start the return process. It took Remarkable 4 days to get this process done. First day they email with a return portal, it couldn't find my purchase. Second day they finally respond to my plea for help and send a second portal. That one worked, but the Remarkable support team are terrible and sent incorrect instructions. 3rd day I finally got it squared away and they approved my return the 4th day, which I got shipped out on the 5th day (again via DHL). Oh, and one other mark against Remarkable, they kept referring to my return as "return for replacement" instead of "return for refund" so I had to correct them about 8 times to make sure they were actually going to refund instead of send me a replacement.

It arrives at a local hub. Where it is stuck for 30 days.

During this time, I call DHL to start an investigation as to why it's stalled. They spend 4 days unable to come up with an answer. Reach out to Remarkable again, they start their own investigation and say repeatedly that it is "on it's way." Meanwhile it doesn't move.

Now DHL is only Remarkable's problem in so far as they choose who their carrier is. I didn't get to choose to send it differently. So they can't control what DHL does, but they do need to take ownership of their terrible choice. IMO anyway, it's what I'd do as customer support.

While all this is happening, I'm asking for a refund because the product seems lost in shipment. Around day 20 I ask for a supervisor.

Supervisor responds twice, first time "we're issuing your refund and you should see it in 24 hours." then an hour later "We'll immediately issue you a refund when we receive the product which you'll see in 24-48 hours after."

After day 30 the product finally arrives in Hong Kong, they said 24-48 hours for a refund. 5 days later still no refund.

I thankfully, filed a dispute and it's being taken care of now. But my advice is avoid these clowns.

The product is kind of cool, but their support is awful. Their team is inept. They can't take responsibility for their shortcomings.

This was for a return, imagine dealing with this for an in warranty repair/replacement? Ugh. Awful.

To be clear, we're nearing 45 days from original cancellation and still no direct refund from Remarkable.

Judging by the commit messages the first esbuild commit seems like Evan moved an existing project onto GitHub while the SWC commit seems like a genuine start. But also pretty unlikely that esbuild was being worked on for 3 years before being put on GitHub so your point still stands.
Hard disagreement here. Seen so many slow builds / hot-reloads over the years. It's draining to work on a project where changing a file takes a couple of seconds to be live in the browser. Almost so that I believe those not complaining about webpack's or babel's speed just don't know what they're missing out on.
There is still less smoking regardless, though. Where I live if I see someone smoking in public more often than not they are a student from a country where cigarettes are much much cheaper. A packet of cigarettes is 4.5x cheaper in Poland than the UK for example.
I think esbuild is a fantastic project as well as a huge inspiration. I'll share two quick thoughts[1] I have on SWC that made it a fantastic choice for Next.js:

1. SWC is designed for extensibility

We were able to use `swc` as a crate[2], without the need to fork the project

This allowed us to effectively (no divergence) and efficiently (no loss in performance) extend it, especially to add syntax and plugin compatibility that is more common in the Next.js ecosystem. We added support for `<style jsx>`, with more React optimizations and Babel plugins coming.

2. We love the Rust ecosystem

It has a stellar, growing community. It has the best long-term performance prospects for us (e.g: absolute control over memory management) and safety. We don't want to be in a position where there's another enticing migration in just a couple years, and we think Rust is a durable non-regrettable choice.

For this sort of thing I really like fauna (https://fauna.com/). I don't think you really "need" a "backend backend" anymore, and small dev teams are probably better off without them.
I'm a very big fan of the São Paulo approach, just ban indoor smoking everywhere, period. The only places you are allowed to smoke are inside a dwelling or out in the street (with the caveat that there must be a clear view to the sky). Cigarettes are still cheap, but unwanted smog doesn't bother me anymore.
That argument relies on independent samples, but if someone's beaming radiation at the device to control its output, the samples will not be independent.

I mean this article just leans into all the hunches that people have about kids.

My friend who is a school councilor (eg: therapist at school, not a 'career advisor') for elementary school, says its very obvious which kindergarden kids have preschool and which do not. And it's not all about learning about letters or whatever, it's also about emotional literacy and learning how to play with others and how to navigate a large group setting. These are all skills kids need to learn, some learn them fast, others less so.

I generally agree that we shouldn't be turning pre-school into some form of collegiate prep, but I also think that by focusing on academics as 'learning' we also forget about all the other things kids need to learn. Like how to operate their bodies (eg: running, jumping, bikes, scooters, play structures, all things they may not have a lot at home), how to handle feelings, negotiate play with peers, how to participate in large group activities (circle time), and much more. These are all foundational skills. Yes they can learn them in kindergarden as well, but frankly as a parent, I like that my kid has socialization and honestly we have a few hours without him!
One benefit is that it's JS. Yes, really. For every Go developer, there are a thousand that know JS.
Yes, your post is otherwise advocating for whistleblowers, which is on topic and makes sense to discuss.

Clinton's email server is not a whistleblower. Clinton is not a whistleblower. The FBI is not a whistleblower. Your sentence "according to the FBI it's ok for Hillary Clinton to keep government communication explicitly marked classified in her basement server because no harm is intended" does not relate to whistleblowers in any way. What is does do is signal a political flag to other individuals. This sort of political signalling does not contribute to the conversation about whistleblowers and ultimately is not productive.

> The hardware for the gen 2 is pretty good in my opinion.

My 5 year old android-tablet has more ram and cpu than the gen2 remarkable. So I assume they outsourced parts to the cloud simply because it's not running well enough on the tablet itself.

> the rest of the system is linux

Linux, especially on tablets is very exotic. There is no way to benefit from the big ecosystem on android or iOS. Everything must come from the users, the company or regulary desktop-linux, which is not optimized for tabled or eInk. Linux is a good selling point for hackers and nerds, but irrelevant for casual users.
Well the cerebellum has been known to use error-driven learning to coordinate sensor inputs and motor outputs. I'm not sure I've heard of it responding to reward specifically before (I'll have to ask my colleagues whether they get reward-sensitive BOLD response in their analyses). The article is sparse on details, and the link to the paper in Nature doesn't seem to actually point to an article...

Also, this article is from 2018, which should be noted.

Update: mattkrause points to the original paper, here:

It is to a great degree. Many acquaintances have stopped smoking because it got too expensive. That many people stopped smoking is what enabled us to ban it in so many places afterwards.

The bans are a huge inconvenience to smokers. That's the point, but it would have been political suicide a few decades prior.
This.

The state of PSTN direct-dialed voic comms in much of the US is such that legitimate phone traffic is 1/2 to 1/10 of all received calls. Channel saturation and abuse is such that people ignore phone calls, and quite often voicemail. If they have voice service at all.

Telephone service by any description in the form of "anyone, anywhere, can connect to any one, anywhere, at any time" is in increasing danger of abandonment simply because of nuisance and malicious harm costs. I've had repeated dicussions with individuals and businesses who are constantly pestered by unwanted calls, cannot distinguish legitimate from illegitimate traffic (see "Deep Fakes" voice impersonation being used in a recent bank fraud case, impersonating the CEO --- I've known people who've had fraudulent calls claiming to be known contacts), as well as endless scams.

The industry aware of this and raised the issue years ago. They do nothing about it:

[S]ince mid-2015, a consortium of engineers from phone carriers and others in the telecom industry have worked on a way to [stop call-spoofing], worried that spam phone calls could eventually endanger the whole system. “We’re getting to the point where nobody trusts the phone network,” says Jim McEachern, principal technologist at the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS.) “When they stop trusting the phone network, they stop using it.”

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/how-to-stop-spam-rob...

We've reached the point that people in possible need of rescue ignore attempts at contact, and ... with credible reason.
Agreed. I also like to think that these aren't necessarily "sin" taxes, but taxes paid up-front for the increased costs to society for the medical/public safety implications that occur from them.
