For what it’s worth, reading the ECMAScript spec was one of the best things I’ve done to deepen my work as a developer. It doesn’t touch on console commands, but these do:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/api/

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console

https://nodejs.org/api/console.html

It’s not that I’m just reading language docs all day, but I’ve found it to be a really productive use of time when I do. It’s a vehicle for discovery that tutorials, SO answers, and blog posts don’t tend to always cover. For instance, I learned about Realms in JS which allow for a distinct global context, and more recently the proposed ShadowRealms API which not only just sounds cool, but allows for some neat isolation if ever you need to run JS in the browser that shouldn’t affect the window (such as a web IDE).

For those who are brave enough to delve into the Shadow Realms:

Point being: there are formal manuals and specifications for every part of the web stack. They can be intensely difficult to grok but are a valuable resource. It’s not fair to say RTFM to every question about the web stack, it’s unreasonable to expect anyone to hold all of that in their brain. Still, these things do exist and have a lot of value.

At Undo, we're on a mission to create transparent and fair insurance at your fingertips.
We're building new insurance products like location-based travel insurance and driving behavior-based car insurance.
It's insurance like you haven't seen it before. Simple structure, newest tech, transparent products and a stubborn belief that everyone deserves the shortest path from OH NO! to oh well.

On the tech side of things, we're running a state-of-the-art software architecture across mobile apps and our backend, which is based on Scala, ZIO, GraphQL, doobie and PostgreSQL.

We're looking for engineers that prefer statically-typed languages, maybe with a functional programming mindset, and ideally with experience of putting Scala code in production.

I think what the OP was trying to refer to here is the granulated sugar that is more popular in India. Mostly the sugar has crystals that are .5-1mm thick while in the us it is closer to the consistency of powdered table salt.

Wow, I'd heard about that but it seems so alien to me here in ireland (we get at best 2% ten year fixed, and that's only under certain circumstances).

Mind you, it's literally impossible to get evicted from your primary home here, which is presumably what drives the differences.

Tries are fun structures!

However, for autocomplete you often want a weighted Trie because you have extra information you want to weight nodes by. An example with contacts is that you often want recent and frequent contacts.

Cash-flow after investing activities is not really a thing, unless of course you are looking at companies from a VC-funded SV perspective. Just because you don't need additional cash-flow now doesn't mean you don't need it later. And positive cash-flow allows you to get additional loans, and re-pay those, when needed.

Do you have any links confirming that? I'm failing to find any resources.
What I'm implying is that it's interesting to consider an alternative point of view: where certain non-critical (at least to the greater society) systems would be treated as such, instead of paging people at 6 AM because a CRUD is down.

Reliability often comes at the expense of making some people's lives much less pleasant (especially in situations of underfunding or not having the corporation back any of your SRE initiatives), or, alternatively, with exponentially increasing costs, since all of the sudden everything needs to be high availability and have redundancy in place.

Consider the recent Roblox outage. No one died because of it, yet countless engineers were working around the clock to ensure the profitable operation of the platform.

When the Latvian Electronic Tax Declaration system goes down on the first day of the year when you can declare your taxes (basically every year), the ministry representatives shrug their shoulders and essentially say: "Nah, we can't make it cope with the load. Just wait a day." And you know, maybe they can't, but at the same time even so everyone still manages to submit their taxes eventually.

Thus, perhaps it's worth it to consider when and where we need the scalability and high availability, e.g. government centralized auth services under Latvija.lv which also went down because of the load and as a consequence people had to wait longer to sign up for COVID vaccines and couldn't use other systems until it was resolved: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/manavakcina-lv-and-apturico...

Then, we should focus on those more important cases. Now, I'm not trying to suggest that the incompetence or dismissive attitudes are (always) okay, instead, I'm merely suggesting that we should consider our priorities and wonder what a more laid back environment would look like.

I still recall once sending a hotfix for a prod issue at 3 AM. I wonder what things would look like if instead of worrying whether a certain business process can take place at a certain date, the attitude would have been more like: "We'll just tell everyone to wait a day or two. It's not like our product is time sensitive."

None of these rules are 100% true. "Natural" food can be bad for you, and processed food good. It is just a heuristic that works somewhat well when you have limited information.
> In general you can buy outright any cloud service for about 3 months of the price of the cloud.

If you compare on demand lrice for cloud, sure. Reserved and spot instances change the balance significantly. If you're running a handful of servers, sure it's a no brainer. But when you start dealing with any sort of human cost (operations, it) the savings you get are dwarfed by the human costs because that's what you're paying for with aws and azure. And, when you're at mega scale you're negotiating separate deals anyway.

That's also not considering the value of the combined offerings. On aws for example, I can spin up a kubernetes cluster with rolling updates pushed by GitHub actions in less time than it took me to write this comment, and it will be usable and modifiable by anyone who has experience with aws or k8s. the cost savings of running my own infrastructure and managing all the moving pieces is dwarfed by the fact that the service provided is widely used and well known.
Softball is a bigger ball, yes. But it's not lower velocity, at least if you consider the relevant metric: time from pitcher to plate. Because softball also pitches a lot closer to the plate.
Sure, but by taking your website down at certain times (or allowing the system to take itself down), you force your ideas about slowing down onto others who may or may not have time for that right now. It is actively hindering other people from trying to live the way they want (by reading about solar powered websites, in this case).

It does not really matter for the Low Technology website of course, but if you get into a serious car accident and the surgeon is like "sorry but our solar powered operating theater is down right now, that's just life sometimes" that would be a very unwelcome thing to hear.
I was on a break from work but used my time to finally finish a comprehensive guide on SEO hiring which is based on a process that I developed in the last couple of years. It has helped me hire some of the best people I had the privilege of working with.
It contains the step-by-step process of how to evaluate a candidate for a SEO position (both senior and junior). Also includes interview questions, assignment questions, personality evaluation test, templates, etc that you’ll require throughout the process.

Created it because I’ve seen firsthand how companies (especially startups) struggle to figure out wheat from the chaff and so often end up hiring a wrong person for the job. This guide is the answer, it will give you exactly what you need to understand both technical and non-technical skills of the candidates. Although you do need someone who understands the intricacies of SEO to properly use the technical section of this guide.

Will be publishing it in the next 7 days. If anyone is interested in purchasing a copy, feel free to get in touch. Email in my bio :)
I tried a few times soy steaks and burgers, and honestly don't know what to say; to me it has been the most unpredictable food experience ever: one time they tasted absolutely delicious, then complete crap, then ...meh. It may have been the brand or way of cooking but I can't recall of two times in a row in which I could get the same impression, so today I tend to avoid them. On the other hand I love soy chocolate-like ice cream, but that's another thing.

About growing meat in lab, I'm totally in favor. I'm no veg* but of course I'm not happy about animals being killed, even for feeding us; also I hope that being able to grow a steak today might be 1/100 of the research needed to grow a kidney or other human organs for transplants tomorrow.

Torrens title was invented in South Australia in the mid 19th century. It is named for the Australian politician Sir Robert Torrens, who was briefly Premier of the Colony of South Australia around the same time. It has since spread around the world, including a few American states, but has not seen anywhere near as much adoption in the US as in many other parts of the English-speaking world.

Now, the contemporary English system isn’t strictly speaking Torrens, it actually is somewhat of a hybrid between a pure Torrens system (as used in Australia and many other places), and the original English system (which slowly evolved out of mediaeval English law) and which is still mostly retained in the US. But still, to the extent that the records of the Land Registry take priority over the actual title documents, it is closer to the Torrens system than most US systems.

I think the main reasons for the lesser adoption of Torrens in the US have little to do with the reasons you suggest. Trying to link the US non-adoption of it to the dispossession of indigenous people is dubious given that Australia, where it was invented, has a similar history. It is basically due to the greater number and greater conservatism of US state jurisdictions (here I mean “conservatism” primarily in the “slow-to-embrace-change” sense, rather than conservatism as a political ideology, this is the kind of technocratic legal issue about which neither progressives nor conservatives, in the ideological sense, care much), and also due to the lobbying power of the US title services/insurance industry, which sees the greater simplicity of the Torrens system (most of the time, ignoring occasional problems and frauds like this, which can and have happened under pre-Torrens systems too) as a threat to their established business models

Torrens essentially tries to optimise for the most common case, in which title is clear and no fraud is going on, and make that common case as simple and cheap as possible, even if by doing so the outcome in those rare cases of disputes and frauds may not always be completely optimal
In the very general sense of design patterns - sure, you always need to design your code regardless of the language. Sometimes that's called design principles (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31317141/whats-the-diffe...).

If you're focusing too much on specific patterns, you might be wasting your time. For example, the O in SOLID is really only relevant for inheritance which Go doesn't have. And even when a concept is relevant to Go, it's questionable how much benefit there is to think about it explicitly. Unless you want to write books and blogposts of course.

I Love Vue 3's Composition API
Not being anywhere on stack. Had to setup and fix this demo product. SPA with login and maybe 4 simple elements. Downloads something like 10 megabytes of code... And that isn't even the backend... I question what is even going on with this one. So much JavaScript for something that doesn't even do anything special.

Makes me glad that my career focus is security not web development...
While this makes sense, an alternative hypothesis also makes sense: that consciousness just came when the hardware was there, and a standby state for it then evolved afterwards. It's easy to buy if you just postulate that the standby state wasn't actually necessary for a healthy mind at first. We started putting essential functions into that time window after it was there, and now we must sleep, but the original purpose was just a low-power mode to wait for morning or something.

Supporting evidence: horses sleep 2 hours, cats sleep 16, and even humans vary widely in how much sleep they need. That's hard to explain if all of it is fundamentally necessary, but easy to explain if the precise length is irrelevant for biological purposes and that the length was determined by outside factors e.g. how much this species stands to gain from remaining in a low-power state.
He's a politician that I suspect most of us here largely agree with, but he's still a politician. This is best looked at as campaign literature. The pirate party are sensationalising dangers that don't (yet) exist, in large part imo because it boosts their profile.

It's difficult, because I too would be very concerned about this issue, once there's actually a proposal to object to! I'm entirely on their side on this issue, if reality were as presented here, but campaigning against a strawman that might never be proposed whilst disingenuously implying that it's imminent feels a lot like fearmongering to me.

Frustratingly, it would be quite possible & useful to campaign against this with nuance instead: "the commission is considering proposals to better fight CSAM - have your say, make suggestions & help define tech solutions to do this while preserving privacy", rather than "the EU is going to destroy all privacy ASAP". And it's not like we're short on other genuine issues to campaign on either.

I'm on the fence about this. On one hand this would be a new revenue stream (even if a small one). On the other hand, fuelling stations installing chargers might be seen as cannibalizing their own market. I think there will be some time until we see those unfortunately. They will probably be the last to do it.
Raft Consensus Protocol
It's not a counter argument, but more of a questioning of your argument. I think it's an argument of the same type as Pascal's Wager, though more based on reality. I don't think that there will be no places with a good climate and no refugees, at least that depends on what you consider a "place". Maybe no countries, I could agree with that, and even for that, you could argue that island countries could easily block refugees.

All of that to say, it feels like you're saying to people "either you fight climate change, or you will get refugees", while in real life that's not really what will happen, I think. I don't think you're completely wrong, but for example the average person can't really run away from refugees, but also can't make a difference in fighting climate change, so many of them will probably fight climate change and get refugees; while a very rich person can change more things but also run away more easily.

“Processed foods” is a catch all term for what is generally known as junk food - food that is nutritionally poor and often has unhealthy quantities of flavour-enhancing ingredients that are known to be a problem in excess such as saturated fats, salt, sugar etc.

However being against a food for merely being “processed” is essential-oils level of pseudo-science. Frankly it’s baseless fear-mongering and entirely ignorant to the understanding of nutrition.

These foods are being made by the same scientific community which decries the junk food - the same people whose view you support.

There is no reason not to engage an artificially made food replacement which is both sufficiently enjoyable and nutritious. This especially so when they address the significant issues of food-supply contributions to water scarcity, climate change and antibiotic resistance.

Artificially grown meat will also be better for you - not just nutritionally but also because it doesn’t fall victim to the weaknesses in the food supply industry (disease/food poisoning/contamination.)

Also “everyone munches on it like strawberries” - the foods in question are either still in development or low supply. There is a lot of strawman going on here.
I could be wrong because I haven't read unabridged versions of either. My sense is we tend to relate what was described abstractly with advancements we see around us.

For e.g. with flying vehicles in ancient epics I'm skeptical that they describe in any detail how flight was achieved besides magic or divine power.
AFAIK at least on some European countries, especially in the east this is not so and used to be almost the opposite in the past. People are expected to upgrade from an engineer (~master) to a doctor (or a candidate of sciences first in some post-soviet countries) in parallel with their work as they gain real-life expertise and age. And in general I think it always is a great idea to study abroad (needless to say European universities are generally cheaper and easier to get in). So I think I would probably consider an European university if I were you.

> "Not really, Tesla has $18 billion cash on hand and an established business model that works without opening up the chargers."

True, but building out the supercharger network is expensive and likely still a loss-leader for Tesla. Opening it means that Tesla can generate more revenue from an expensive asset.

> "Cash flow is not a particular concern for Tesla right now, they are cash-rich."

Cash flow is always a concern. Tesla would not stay "cash rich" for long without positive cashflow.
> Disagree. Indian cities are a lot more pedestrian friendly. Parts of US Northeast are the exception, not the norm. In India, you just kinda walk and the trafffic stops/ manouvers around you.

I've lived almost all my life in India, several towns and cities at that and there is not a single place that is pedestrian friendly. I think you're mistaking walking into traffic and causing a mini panic for the oncoming vehicles vs actual pedestrian friendly roads.

Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
Yesterday I ran `brew install virtualenv` and homebrew decided to upgrade postgres, ruby, youtube-dl, vim, rust, wget and 50 other unrelated packages. The single command took 45min and broke all of my local postgres databases (and who knows what else).

At this point I should know better than to install postgres via homebrew, but unwanted/unasked-for upgrades is not a feature I'm looking for in a package manager.

Is there a reason why you do not want to use MathML for embedding equations in HTML? If not, it might be a good alternative to SVGs because MathML equations can be read aloud by screen readers. (If the screen reader is good.)
