That's a good question. So, we come from Rails. We actually built Avo (https://avohq.io), an admin gem for Rails, so we can say we have tried it that way.

Avo was first a Rails-backed SPA (Rails server and Vue front-end), and it didn't work out that well. Unfortunately, the Rails community didn't take that lightly, and for a good reason. I won't go into too much bike-shedding here, but the most important reason is that you have to maintain two codebases (ruby & JS).

In January, we re-wrote Avo with Hotwire (the JS front-end suite created for Rails), and it went very well. It's a joy to write apps using Rails and Hotwire.

But the fact of the matter is that we need an app that's a bit more dynamic on the front-end than Hotwire can deliver. I mean, yes, we could weave together Hotwire and a few other JS libraries to get what we need, but we'd get the same two codebases and the same two sets of skills you need to run your app.

The reason we chose to go with React is the ecosystem, mostly (*fun fact; I'm sitting here writing this wearing a VueJS hoodie).
We're running Next.JS because, honestly, it's a beast when you're talking about React apps. TailwindCSS because of its popularity, and it vibes with us, and we move fast using it. Prisma because it really is a breath of fresh air when you consider the alternatives in the JS world.

I left TS at the end because it's the most "well-known development secret" out there. It keeps your codebase in check and your team on the same page.
Though who knows what types of experimentation, trial and error SuperDuper went through to make it work.
As we know from multiple experiences, what Zoom says about privacy and the reality of it are very much separate.
About 22% of americans identify as antivaxxers, and about 13% Master's and/or doctorate and/or professional degree. For your claim to be true, over 90% of people with advanced degrees would have to identify as antivaxxers.

That is, if words mean things to you. If what you intended was "I feel like anti-vaxxers are smart, and want to come up with a fancy fact-like way of saying that," then you're spot on. good job sport.
Test Story with Text
Yes. The only real solution is to backup regularly. (And, if you travel, it probably makes sense to regularly copy any critical work in process to an SD card.)
Is there any answer other than "mosh, duh"?

Keithw (who's now a prof at Stanford) wrote mosh for that use case (high loss high latency), if memory serves correctly. (which it might not! being as apparently an entire decade has passed since "what feels like last month")

Also, there's some terminal cleverness, which I admit, to great embarrassment, I still haven't bothered to deeply understand (my "sensai", who offered to help me grok it if I ever got stuck, left this world too soon).

Mosh's ability to preserve interactive responsiveness, even through the most high latency, low bandwidth, high packet loss environments is unparalleled! You know, for all those times when you're on a cross country flight, your only network access is a IP-over-DNS tunnel, and you simply MUST ~zephyr~ chat with your friends. Uh, I mean, do mission critical work... ;)
Any PC will let you boot from an external drive if the internal drive fails (or even if it doesn't).
Serious question: I kind of liked how Facebook found people in my photos. Is there room for such a feature in a privacy conscious world?
That's very good advice! On it!

Thank you!
The Model M is actually not great to type on compared to modern mechanical keyboards. Think it's mostly nostalgia for why people recommend them at this point.

I'd recommend buying a cherry mx keyboard switch tester so you can see what switches you like and then buying like a Ducky or Varmilo from mechanicalkeyboards.com. You might also want to consider how loud it is when you type on it if you are using it in a shared office space.

If you really want to go all-in look up building your own mechanical keyboard.

mechanicalkeyboards.com has a buyer's guide if you want to see what they recommend https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/keyboard_guide.php
Not "very little effort" in the slightest. It's an entirely different concept than a simple textual search they have now.

> Both these texts talk about aeroplanes, teleportations, rockets, test-tube baby, body preservation and medicines that heal serious battle injuries. And it is talked about in a matter-of-fact way, as if there is no novelty in these technologies. The frustrating part of these texts is the mixing of facts with fiction. So it becomes difficult to know what was really available back then. But the sheer thought that ancient humans atleast dreamt these advance ideas makes one wonder what type of civilisation was there back then?

If ancient civilization actually realized any of those technologies, I'm certain it would have left a significant archeological trace that would have been discovered by now. For instance: an actual airplane (as opposed to a glider) would need a significant industrial base for the engine and fuel that we'd probably see all kinds of evidence for. I don't think that's the kind of thing a solo inventor or even a city-state could manage independently.
How often are those agents deployed, and when they are deployed, how far does the wind take them, if at all?

If it were solely due to the entertainment value then an exact replica (made by someone else) would have the same value as the original.

But it doesn't.

Art (and most collectibles) are a type of social signaling (kind of like peacock feathers). In the end they are done for the same reason that someone buys a Ferrari or McLauren: to show to other people that they have achieved material success and to attract a better mate (in the end almost everything comes down to genetic incentives, whether conscious or not).

As long as there is a contingent of people who believe that art is a social signifier and it will help people in the mating game, it will continue to be valuable (also tax evasion - but that's a different story).
That's out of date, we're now in the days of IPFS.
This would be easy to fix with legislative that makes property taxes much higher for investment home properties.

I don't think I've ever heard of a politician even talking about that though.

I disagree. My thinkpad x230t is still going strong nearly 10 years later (extreme example). With 16GB of ram and an SSD it's still a decently capable machine.

If you're the type of person that needs the _fastest_ computer then yeah obviously you're upgrading every year. Or if you work on large codebases, etc.

But if you don't care about that, you can easily go 4+ years with your laptop. Yes computers have gotten faster, but the internet is still usable on a 10 year old machine.

I've replaced my battery once already, but consider your keyboard/screen are likely things to break at any point in time with accidents.

And we're comparing this to apple, a company that has been basically DRM'ing components - even if you can buy the replacement you can't use it without it being "programmed" by apple.

EDIT: Also note that the bare minimum models from 10 years ago are likely too slow nowadays, I mean to compare this to the medium-upper range devices of the time, potentially with relatively low cost upgrades like an SSD.

"Given that this is a large problem, I don't see why non-local governmental action should be given an effective veto power by residents who don't want to see anyone new in their neighborhood."

So my question still stands and just moves up to the next level. Now you have to convince the majority of the state or country to support that sort of law. At the federal level, the 10th ammendment might even prevent this type of law.

The second half of that sentence is pretty inflammatory. There are many people who don't want new houses constructed and changing the density of their neighborhood but would welcome someone new if they're moving into an existing house.

"Yes, plenty of people advocate for things that are in their self-interest yet bad for society. Your point?"

My point is that people want single homes with these amenities and in that sort of setting. Why shouldn't they have that? You're implying that this is bad for society, yet I see no support for this. I see nothing that prevents the free market from addressing or self correcting housing issues. Vaguely claiming that your position is beneficial and others are not is unproven. Even if it would be beneficial, you still have to convince the voters to support it.

"Sure. By beneficial, I mean net welfare enhancing for society. It's obviously not beneficial if your criteria is "increasing the price of my home by constricting supply.""

We would have to prove the net benefit part. Nobody said it was about home values. Some people support many restrictions for reasons other than property value, like quality of life, infrastructure issues, etc.
> I liked Manjaro because I could get newer packages in the repositories (when compared with Ubuntu) and because of access to the AUR.

> I made the switch to Fedora 34 a few months ago from Manjaro. It has newer packages than Ubuntu

It's interesting to compare the release policies of the those distros.

Manjaro is a rolling distro; Fedora releases every 6 months, with 1 year support; Ubuntu has a mixed model (LTS: release every 2 years, support 4+ years, non-LTS: 6 months release/support).

Technically speaking, Ubuntu can have more up to date packages, if one goes the non-LTS way (I personally don't suggest that, though).

With the LTS versions, there's also the alternative of using official PPAs, repositories and self-contained package managers.

I do upgrade every two years (and I even find it too frequent) and use official PPAs/repos, but 1 year sounds appealing for users wishing out of the box recent packages, without using a rolling release.
If something comes preinstalled with Windows on it, it's going to be rootkitted anyways. There's also an argument to be made where we assume all commercial OSes are backdoored, but I think at this point playing the "muh security" card is a bit of a ruse. If you care about the stuff, you've already installed LTSC/Linux/BSD/Some special Windows distro.
Is it audited? Is it vetted by the anonymous community? What steps does it take to gain trust with users?

Because software is buggy, even Apples. It's not like you are updating hardware (like your other examples) you are doing a software update so that the software interfaces with the hardware better or fixes bugs.

nowadays your TV if it's a smart tv also gets monthly or quarterly updates too. they just tend to happen in off-peak hours. and car software updates are when you take them in for service.

you aren't doing a fair comparison asking why your X hardware doesn't need updates when comparing mostly hardware with simple software and full operating systems.

Personally, I feel the characters in Mahabharata are more shades of grey (rather than just Good or Bad) unlike Ramayana which is portrayed as a fight between Good vs Bad.

Even Krishna's role has a lot of valid criticism in terms of the little he does to avoid the war (being a god and all). The closest clean character seems to be Karna who is on the losing side.
I agree. I haven't read the original so I can't speak to the accuracy but it's a pretty good bit of sci-fi that I look forward to every week. I get the feeling that a lot of people have a lot of emotional attachment to the original and it's upsetting that it doesn't live up to their expectations. However, that doesn't mean that it isn't good.
(I work for Mozilla. Speaking unofficially.)

I don't have a good answer to that question. I guess the straightforward answer would be to make an account on the bug tracker and vote (it's under Details), but my impression is that votes usually don't carry much weight.

Oh, and for the reasons you gave, please don't post bug comments in support, unless you really do have additional information or perspective to contribute. (And "there's one more person who wants this, and I suspect many more" is not additional information.)

I know Mozilla has had various iterations of tools for collecting input, all of them ending up abandoned eventually. The current iteration is https://ideas.mozilla.org -- which, given that it's a fairly recent introduction, might actually be paid attention to. At least for a while. (Yeah, I'm cynical.)

A more effective but higher effort and noisier mechanism would be https://chat.mozilla.org where you could try to dig up the right channel and discuss it directly with people, but that seems like it's probably not appropriate for your example.

I'd really like a better mechanism for this. I think it's one of our bigger gaps, personally.

As to your specific request, it seems like right now the current answer to that need is about:profiles for full-on profiles, and container tabs for the lighter-weight, integrated within a single session mechanism. It may be that the latter has sucked energy out of improving the multiple profile support? (Multiple profiles have been supported forever and are unlikely to go away, but I agree that they're not getting much UX love.)

But I'm not involved in that area, nor do I know how Chrome's profile switcher works other than that people seem to like it. I'm happy with container tabs, myself, but I recognize that they fulfill a slightly different need.
I noticed that the people who were spamming HN about Ivermectin didn't care if the article was positive or negative. They just wanted to "get the party started" with a discussion.

It's central to anti-vax discourse to find some small detail and amplify it to something big, then repeat the process with another detail again and again.

It reminds me of the web site "The Motley Fool" that would post an article such as "Should you buy AAPL?" that would always hem and haw and come to no real conclusion. Perhaps the reader felt they were being diligent by considering so much contradictory information.
I've got Starlink and have been nothing but impressed. Granted I'm not the target audience, for me it's a backup to a fiber connection, but I've had some substantial time to play with it.

Starlink is much more consistent than an AT&T tethered through an iPhone (Not real 5G but "fake" 5G). Starlink will stay rock solid at 30ms, AT&T will fluctuate between 30-150 depending on the time of day and phase of the moon. Starlink gives me a rock solid 300Mbps/30Mbps, AT&T is all over the map, sometimes i'll hit 150 or 200Mbps, sometimes I'll struggle to hit 10. Plus with ATT, Verizon, or even T-Mobile I'm supporting an highly corrupt telecom oligopoly, where with SpaceX my money is going towards bringing high-speed internet to the world. It was a no brainer.

The licence says "over the network" but it hasn't launched. I realize some people have made test accounts, so I suppose there's an issue there if they've made issues of similar behavior before, but I don't see how the merger agreement is relevant to the license.
> With no more carbon-free energy coming from Indian Point [nuclear plant], we see that natural gas and dual-fuel generation has filled the void and caused our grid to become more reliant on fossil fuels than it was two years ago. For all of the tough talk from New York’s politicians about tackling climate change, this is not the trajectory we should expect.

This is the talking point that needs to make the rounds in the media. Shutting down nuclear plants is beyond idiotic. Environmental groups need to do a 180 on nuclear, and politicians supporting this need to lose all "green" support.
I haven’t seen Rails devs and projects moving to php or python. They’re moving to javascript/typescript/node, go, and rust mainly, for some combination of better integration with the frontend stack, static types, and scalability/performance.

I think Rails was a victim of its own success. It’s always been great for getting projects started quickly, but now many of the early crop of “agile” startups have grown up and need solutions to large project issues that Rails doesn’t have great answers for.

I use a used business laptop. My programs don’t care if their being run off depreciated hardware. Even if you bought a new one you’d still have access to all these cheap replacement parts and common skus. It’s still better for replacing parts cheaply and easily.
If you want a repairable device for cheap, you aren’t going to buy new devices from new unknown companies that have a monopoly over the parts production. The aftermarket for iPhone batteries is so good it doesn’t matter if they’re proprietary batteries over open batteries nobody has. Even PinePhone piggybacks off Samsung batteries.
> I want to serve 5TB of data. Ok, spin up an instance in AWS and put it there... it was amusing when we hired people from Google who were confused by the lack of process and approvals.

Quoting from Velocity in Software Engineering https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3352692:

In 2003, at a time in Amazon's history when we were particularly frustrated by our speed of software engineering, we turned to Matt Round, an engineering leader who was a most interesting squeaky wheel in that his team appeared to get more done than any other, yet he remained deeply impatient and complained loudly and with great clarity about how hard it was to get anything done. He wrote a six-pager that had a great hook in the first paragraph: "To many of us Amazon feels more like a tectonic plate than an F-16."

Matt's paper had many recommendations... including the maximization of autonomy for teams and for the services operated by those teams by the adoption of REST-style interfaces, platform standardization, removal of roadblocks or gatekeepers (high-friction bureaucracy), and continuous deployment of isolated components. He also called... for an enduring performance indicator based on the percentage of their time that software engineers spent building rather than doing other tasks. Builders want to build, and Matt's timely recommendations influenced the forging of Amazon's technology brand as "the best place where builders can build."

...leading up to the creation of AWS.
I'm a little surprised. I've been running Arch since 2011 and it's been rock stable for me. I've run Fedora on secondary machines, but I never stuck with it because things would break during updates.

I suspect hardware has a lot to do with it. My Arch laptop is a ThinkPad with Intel graphics, and my secondary machines have been whatever is around.

The other variable is the desktop environment. On my primary laptop I used to run LXDE, and then switched to i3, and now sway. I ran ALSA instead of Pulse, but now I'm dipping my toes into PipeWire. When trying out Fedora I would always try Xfce which seemed like a good compromise since Gnome is definitely not for me. Xfce may not be much of a target for Fedora developers though, so it may not get the amount of attention that Gnome or KDE would get.
I'm not sure your link disproves this article. The first paragraph just says bootable backups are supported (they are by CCC too), and the rest of the page hasn't been changed in years.

The SuperDuper blog says:

> Note that, as I indicated above, M1 Macs can't readily boot from external drives. There are things you can do, if you have an external Thunderbolt 3 drive (USB-C isn't sufficient), but even that won't work if the internal drive is dead. Unless things change, bootable backups are basically a thing of the past on M1-based Macs. [0]

in a January article, and I haven't seen anything that contradicts it in more recent articles. Mind linking?

(Note that booting from USB-C is now supported on AS Macs, but booting when the internal drive is dead is not)

Typically not one specific activity, but a slew of different activities all pointed towards the goal.

An example:

8AM - wake, prepare for day, take bus to campus

9AM - teach class

10:30 AM - office hours, grade, read relevant papers

12:00 PM - short lunch window

12:15 PM - research, write code, notes. Short intermittent breaks. Library visits. Seminar attendance / prep, seminar/journal reading, prep, etc. Consult with advisor, others

7:00 PM - break for dinner, bus home

8:00 PM - research, write code, notes. Short intermittent
breaks. Seminary reading, journal reading, etc. Class prep.

3:00 AM - sleep

Weekends were similar to weekdays without class or bussing.

Edit to add: I looked up the exemption calculation. It excludes up to $432,666 from the assessed value. Multiply that exclusion by the rate of 0.00585 ($5.85 per $1K per year) and the exclusion reduces a homeowner's taxes by $2,531.10/yr.
