Maybe I don't understand your concept of reuse well, but I certainly don't think all components can just be slapped into the flow of an arbitrary parent container and have the right positioning and styling for free, and if you have to target those off of emergent behavior (i.e. Tailwind classes making it look some way), you are doing something very error-prone.

I also don't think it makes sense to imply the component's creator can know all possible circumstances it will be rendered in and can therefore make an insightful API to control these things. Instead, we can target the fact that CSS is a public API to control styling choices, and expose the classic handle into that API...
This isn't due to static typing (you appear to be mixing up strong vs. static typing).

This will also not compile in Smalltalk.

Nothing to do with static typing at all.

So I think you're actually wrong on some of these. And again, I say this as a massive fan of vim and emacs.

Support for git is awesome in vscode. You install a plug-in and get great support for various commands. Another plugin and you can have every line annotated with a git blame (a faded text at the end of the line), as well as having a git blame annotation at the top of each function. These were game changers for me. Though full disclosure, I haven't used magit much - but that's part of the problem. The learning curve on the vscode stuff was zero.

Project navigation is dead simple in vscode, I don't think emacs has any advantage.

As for text manipulation, as a vim snob, I'll just point out that text editing is really only good with Vim. Luckily vscode has a vim mode that's decent. Not perfect at all, but decent.

As for extensibility - all the above are plugins. It is extensible.

It's less defending Pfizer and questioning the poster's true motives.

Some people seem determined to do anything except take precautions laid out by infectious disease experts and take medicine specifically for this virus. And they're looking for any excuse to do so.
Rinse (YC S21) Is Hiring a Founding Engineer / CTO
Before Open Source, you hired a company that "did" software/computers. You knew jack shit about it and couldn't do anything about it other than "run commands".

After Open Source, you still did that, but you also occasionally hired people to download and cobble stuff together to save money, and maybe one or two people to write code to help cobble together stuff.

Over time this evolved into managing entire "technology divisions" of people writing code and cobbling together stuff, to manage larger and larger internal projects, to support teams, to build components, to eventually be used by one internal product used by a customer. 50 different teams to build components, and 1 team actually servicing a customer. And each component built is exactly the same as components built at other companies. Sometimes even exactly the same as other components in the same company.

Nowadays a Big Bank might produce more software than Facebook, and none of it ever escapes into the world as Open Source. Whole oceans of software are birthed, live and die in the shadows. Millions of lines of code that live for half a decade. Constantly manufacturing their own hammers because they believe theirs will work better than an existing hammer, or because they're too lazy to learn how to use an existing hammer. And never sharing their custom-built hammers with the rest of the world. All because some clueless executives believe this solves their business case better than buying something off the shelf and making it work for their business case.
Enabling audio makes it easy to find a target based on their inherit characteristics. The bar is low to find, for example, a woman to harass in a videogame over voice comms (an exceedingly common problem).

FB, Reddit, et.al. require the target to actually exhibit a belief or opinion to become a target. It ironically raises the bar for being an asshole to a specific target when you can't hear them.
Finally I can use my niche industry knowledge to give insights! The push for exclusion of Cyber coverage comes from the reinsurance industry. Until -2020 reinsurers would cover Cyber claims within the same contracts covering property, theft, etc. Lately the attitude changed mostly for two reasons:

1. The total amount of claims is growing rapidly, in particular in connection with ransomware.

2. Re-insurers are concerned about potential accumulation losses, e.g. a vulnerability that causes many instances of theft or fraud.

Now Cyber risks must be covered and priced separately, so that insurers and reinsurers can quantify more accurately their exposure.

The specific clauses are very similar across insurers and closely mirror the corresponding exclusion on the reinsurance contracts.
May we all reminisce on typing in random words and then appending .com or .net to see where it would take you (and if the school's internet filter would block it, in which case you'd note to look it up at the public library later)?
What attack? He stated a fact about this mans funding relationship to Pfizer. He didn’t say anything about his trustworthiness, you assumed such.

It’s not an ad hominem if it’s something the reader assumes. It is a relevant detail to consider whether to trust the person’s statement. He didn’t say the guy was a shill or to never trust a funded scientist.
I can't personally speak to the effectiveness of all of the systems humans have lived under or seriously proposed, but I'm fairly certain that among them capitalism is pretty unique in being a system where a paperclip maximizer can be considered a good product. (incidentally also fairly unique in being the only system so far under which hunans have created a global extinction level event)
Streisand effect. They’re trying to hide something so, clearly, the new game is to figure out what/why!
The idea seems very nice of course, but most fusion ideas seem nice on paper. The problem is just dealing with the imperfections of a real-world setup. I'm not an expert in fusion and just briefly worked in the field as a physics student, but from what I've learned people still struggle with even producing suitable materials that can withstand the occasional plasma plume (which I think is probably inevitable to happen in Helion's design too) that can deposit 200 MW/m² of energy into the walls of the fusion vessel.

So as I said I really hope this works and makes the founders rich while also producing cheap & clean energy, but I remain at least a bit skeptical.
Are you saying that you had an agreement with Vultr that they would back up your data more frequent than 2 hours and they failed to do that?

Hardware fails regardless of VPS or physical server provider. Hard drives fail, raid controllers fail, raid arrays become corrupted on all providers EC2 and all other VPS providers equally. Data integrity is based on what backup strategy is in place. For highly critical data the application should be writing to n+1 locations, or a middle process such as ceph or gluster should handle that. The AWS version of this would be S3. What was your backup strategy aside from taking the offsite backups?
Issue #28: The Origins and Evolution of the Modern Monetary System
I like them because I have a far higher success rate with them. Take home tests cater to my strengths. Of course, I'm selective about the companies I apply for, and sometimes the test itself reveals something about the company, and I've rejected assignments after receiving them.
The receiving server would trigger it. The first review should be done by the owner, who should be contactable via email and authenticate via 2FA and acknowledge the modification.

Then I'd guess that Microsoft has enough information with NPM's history to train an AI. Specially the modifications made in these versions could easily trigger suspicious activity.

Did you look at the diffs?

Also, three years of inactivity and then a sudden upload should easily trigger a manual review, even if it is by automatically opening an issue with a review request on that project's GitHub page.
You hit the nail on the head. It's hard to have sympathy for site operators complaining about scraping, where almost every site does its best[0] to make using it a time consuming, potentially risky and overall annoying ordeal. Not to mention, information asymmetry is anathema to a well-functioning market, and yet no. 1 reason for fighting bots given in the whole thread here is a desire to maintain that information asymmetry.

And that's also the dirty secret behind the "attention economy": it's whole point is to make things as inefficient as possible, because if you're making money on people's attention, you need to first steal it (by distracting them from what they're trying to achieve), and then either direct towards your goals (vs. those of the users), or stretch it out to maximize their exposure to advertising.

How about 1 out of 52 children in the 5-11 test group experiencing heart inflammation as a result of the vaccine? That sounds a hell of a lot more dangerous than covid for kids.

> "according to data reviewed by the CDC's advisory panel on vaccines, as of Oct. 10, almost 2 million 5- to 11-year-olds have gotten ill from COVID-19, and 94 have died."

That's a laughably low death rate. Driving your child to school is more dangerous for them than Covid.
Really sorry to hear this. I am currently going through a similar situation with my father. I don't have any good coping mechanisms for you, sorry. All I can say is try and spend as much time with your loved ones as possible and be present when you do. I love getting my family (parents especially) to tell stories about their lives, good fun.
If there were an article about Rust posted to HN from, say, the Church of Scientology, would criticism of CoS be disallowed? Some things should be called out when you see them.
The field-reversed-configuration (FRC) creates a somewhat-stable moving donut of plasma that doesn't need to be "contained" per-se. The configuration of the plasma induces a magnetic field, tightening the donut as it moves.

TAE is exploring static FRC which has instabilities over longer timescales. Helion uses a pulsed approach which means they don't need to worry about these long-term stabilities and can simply optimize for peak power in non-equilibrium systems.

Over the years, many fusion designs have been shut down due to losses at equilibrium. It seems that Helion avoids these factors altogether by having a non-equilibrium system.
Love the app, seems nicely functional - as feedback/bug report?, it doesn't look like the "Sex" filter works, at least not for the "Explore" mode.
> no other part of the interview pipeline was predictive at all. Not whiteboarding, not presenting, not personality interviews, not culture fit testing, not credentials, or where experience came from, nothing

Did you test predictive power from individual interviewers? At a company I worked at previously we did, and this was the by far the best overall predictor: some interviewers just did a much better job at identifying those likely to succeed than others. Which can explain another reason why you didn't see much predictive power if you looked across those other items over all interviewers - the variance between interviewers essentially "swamps" any smaller differences between those interview techniques.

Note this didn't surprise me that much, as you see this dynamic in lots of other "person-to-person" endeavors. For example, when looking at whether one type of psychotherapy intervention is better than another, most of the data that I've seen shows that by far the most important factor is the skill and "match" between therapist and client, far more important than any individual modality.
I think it's a risk that a lot of people are willing to take. 99% of the EVs on the road will probably be production models. These conversions will probably be safer than most of the junky, poorly maintained, farting gas cars driving around today anyways.

I would speculate the problem with most conversions will be about increased mass, low quality suspension parts, and too small brakes. When gross vehicle weight goes up by 50% that will cause a TON of problems. I think this may be why pickup trucks are a good place to start.
Congrats! Elo rating is a good idea for sorting.. I just implemented an insertion sort to help rank names which works but also feels a bit awkward.
I'm not the least bit skeptical of this vision, but that's because I see direct use along Facebook's (Meta's) business model.

If you are selling advertising (influencing) access to a population through heightened metrics and more ability to target amenable customers, there are many useful things you can learn and correlate through things like delay before click-through, where the mouse pointer hovers, and so on. This is done on a massive scale and it's extremely revealing, allowing for deep and fascinating connections into the human subconscious.

This is NOTHING to what you'd get tracking micro-expressions on the human face, something that is largely involuntary on a whole different scale.

This is like mapping the human genome, but for human behavior. It's absolutely revolutionary. Even with the most primitive recognition the big data generated will be transformative.

The inevitable result, WHOEVER does this (if it isn't Facebook, it'll be somebody else. If it isn't the soulless commercial sphere it'll instead be the government. Or 'all of the above') will be this outcome: you can then pay to manipulate entire populations to your whims. All you have to do is have an outcome, a plausible means of influencing them, and this ability to micro-target everyone who is susceptible to your message and skip over anyone who might whistle-blow on you or raise a coordinated objection.

This… changes the conditions under which democracy is practiced, and under which anti-democracy can be consistently maintained. It's a technology that is easily wielded by just plain old humans that are no smarter than the 'masses' to be manipulated.

The really interesting question is what happens when AI or larger-than-human frameworks get involved and have this technology. If there is a Singularity, there will be no objections. If AI rules us, it'll be as the domesticated animals we essentially are, and there will be no call for tyranny and widespread violence: if anything, this suggests that violence and horror become artifacts of fallible human implementation of these things. The more sophisticated use of it will be bloodless, with any desired outcome 'willingly' adopted by the populations targeted.
Perhaps he got the vaccine in the bloodstream as opposed to muscle tissue as intended.

There are reports now of injections done without pulling back to see whether the injection site is a blood vessel. How the drug performs is seriously different in blood stream vs muscle tissue.

The primary impact of blood stream doses appears to be heart related problems.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34406358/

TL;DR: The vaccine probably did not cause it. How it was administered could be the cause.
Dear friends from democratic countries, convince your governments to recognize Taiwan.
Wouldn't that mean we could also blame whales for occasionally causing red tides?

Not the main causes of course, I believe it is mine and fertilizer runoff which are the current leaders.
Trust me, it doesn't, unless I'm WiFi calling over a satellite link, which isn't common except on aircraft and cruise ships. Tbf, cellular is also highly regulated natural monopolies and a lot of state involvement, its just it could have been done without.
Building and maintaining the scraper is the not cost they would use to measure it internally. It’s the cost to build the API, and support it and perhaps any perverse incentive it creates where even more data flows out to competitors.
November Betting Predictions and Analysis
Version 1.0, must be a major milestone. Congrats!

I wonder if there's a stand-out feature that signifies this release transition?

I was recently looking into lightweight pocket linux setup, and considered desktop alternatives, zeroing in on Xfce or LXDE. Will give LXQt another chance.
The user daenz made a good point too:

> Its primary feature is to strongly tie someone's identity to their physical body.

I am just being skeptical here. Again, why cant I just have a control panel with a wide range of avatar emotes, the same way we currently have a wide range of emojis.

My physical facial expressions are limited. What if I wanted my jaw to literally drop on the floor? Or my heart to beat out of my chest?
Dang, this has some "Political Officer" vibes from Soviet times. So they are gonna do thought filtering too now
Arch recently introduced a general prompt-style installer script that should be able to help you setup and install a working Arch on any system.

Really? You think that covering up rapes by officials doesn't happen in South Korea and Japan? Really?

Japan has state indoctrination. Openly historically revisionist units have the power to cover up and lie about history.

I assure you that such news is being squashed in SK and Japan, often and successfully. There are countless examples you can find. It wouldn't be headline news in all but a few smaller publications unless the government and it's allies were okay with it.

Is it as bad as China? No. Is it better than average? Also no. Freedom of speech is okay though in both.

India is especially egregious. There is little free speech, political freedoms, or freedom of the press. Various minority parties have their members killed, and their buildings burnt every so often.

I don't know enough about Taiwan to say anything, though.
Yeah - I used Arch and other distributions for years and always ended up back on macOS. There are tradeoffs, but on net it's hard to beat macOS especially if you use other Apple devices (plus the hardware has been getting better and better).

It's nice to have things work out of the box and never having to worry about things like hibernate, suspend, battery life etc. Trackpads, display resolution, fonts, random config failures - plus any macOS issue is usually easier to find a real solution for online imo.

Even in this article a ton of stuff seems like a pain in the ass:

- Hacking to connect bluetooth headphones

- Config required to reconnect to wifi

- Config required to get the monitor working

- No good native calendar

And of course at the end suspend/hibernate is still not working (naturally, probably never will work 100%). I'd also guess battery life is pretty bad and the UI of the tiling wm may be missing nice to have things (like accurate battery remaining).
Where Are DAOs the Best At?
I've delved into the world of DAOs lately. I'm just amazed by the operating model that enables true democracy – bottom-up development, community-led decision making, no gatekeepers. It's just so great that anyone can make proposals and it's up to all members to decide whether it's accepted or not!

However, I've been wondering which would be the best use case for DAO model. A few organizational types I think would benefit from a transfer to DAO a lot:

- *Mission-driven organizations:* This is kinda non-brainer, right – your org can advance its mission better if it has more engaged community that is driving its goals, right? And engagement is typically higher if you can actually influence to the org's direction!
- *Social platforms reached their maturity:* This is a bit of a no-brainer too, isn't it? What would be a better defensible moat for a large-scale social network than a way to also economically incentivize all participants to interact with the platform?
- *Non-profits:* For organizations without a built-in business model, it makes a lot of sense to embed a financial component as a part of governance. You can finally provide your volunteers with a decent reimbursement for their effort (and costs!) they bear for your cause!
- *Clubs:* Wouldn't it be fun to be part of a global pastime club that would be properly organized around their own token? As an extreme example, Krause House ([https://krausehouse.club/](https://krausehouse.club/)) has a mission to purchase an NBA team, how cool is that...
- *Investment organizations:* Proper incentivization for bottom-up deal sourcing and collective decision-making should be beneficial for any investment org. After all, lone geniouses are extremely rare and a vast mass of community members (potential clients!) should be able to collectively know better. And certainly many DeFi protocols leverage this model extremely well :)

One model that is missing is *Organization Developing New Products*, meaning startups and other rapidly growing companies that are still actively building their products. While I understand the benefits of bottom-up development and community incentivization, startups and other product development teams must be quick and nimble. It sounds like much to always ask for a permission from the community – instead, you need to ensure rapid iterations via short feedback loops. It's a different thing when you hit maturity – then, better to ask form the community than engage with corporate politics. But in a situation in which you can be extremely lean, shouldn't that be preserved?

What do you think about this? I may be wrong about this – I have vast background with different Web2 orgs after all.

What would be the best product-led protocols (preferably still in an early phase!) to learn from?
Interesting idea but an iOS app is mandatory.

Man can not live by Android alone.

I have thought about doing something similar based on simple polling --- the app just checks the server every X minutes by posting a unique user ID.
They do. If you have a "breakthrough infection", you are just as likely to spread it to someone else as someone who is infected without the vaccine. But you're much less likely to get infected in the first place if you've had the vaccine, so overall much less likely to pass it to others. So the more people who get vaccinated, the slower the spread.

>doesn't really consider the costs of the alternatives

I loathe blog post "anti-patterns" for this reason. Our job as engineers is largely about managing tradeoffs. And trade-offs don't come pre-packaged in a blog of dos and donts, they're specific to the constraints at hand.

Just about all of these "anti-patterns" are actually freaking awesome when what they offer (and do not offer!) lines up with what you need.

1. monoliths are awesome when that's all you need. Simple to write, maintain, and deploy.

2. Orchestration lambdas are A-OK when it's all you need and your workload fits comfortably in Lambda's constraints. I swear, the 'cloud' is rotting people's brains. There's a complexity threshold where Step Functions start to pay off. It's fairly high imo. The complexities in testing and debugging it introduces are huge compared to just dropping a break point in your control script.

3. This one is sane

4. Calling this an anti-pattern is again wrong imo. Goodness of fit depends on context. Lambdas calling other lambdas can squeeze a helluva lot of burst CPU performance for not a lot of money. There are a lot of workloads for which this makes sense.

5. This one is stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. I agree with your take entirely. Whatever minuscule amount is saved on idle CPU time with be dwarfed by the additional dev time spent writing, deploying, instrumenting, and debugging. Classic Solutions Architect wankery.
