It has “red scare” vibes to me, not that you intended as such. It was a decent point, but I think the contagion word especially so soon after Covid is perhaps a poor word choice. I don’t think caution is unwarranted when dealing with products made in China, like nearly every cell phone ever made, or this camera drone.

The original point of CSS was to remove style code from HTML. This made a ton of sense twenty years ago. Web content was often saved directly to static files, so imagine having to update styles across hundreds of HTML files manually without VS Code.

Tailwind seems like it could be very useful if one's UI is strictly component based. Otherwise it seems like a portal back into writing HTML on Windows 98 using notepad. Either way, thankful for innovation and more options.

That’s just inflammatory. There are indeed reasons to be skeptical and careful about Chinese imports because of the actions and politics of the state among other reasons… but there you’re just name calling. Do you have actual reasons for your doubts or are they just “bad guys” to you?

Maybe try coming to Brazil, living on a BRL paycheck, where people are BUYING bones with DECAYED MEAT because it's more profitable to the food industry to export the actual food instead of selling it on the local market because the FED is exporting the USA inflation to poorer countries. Then, maybe, you will buy it's serious inflation.
That’s a totally fair point and I’ve edited my post to more properly reflect how I think about it, without the virus word association.
I hope you’ll allow me to indulge in silly posts. They’re occasionally very fun to write.

I strongly disagree with you when you say that Twitter has replaced RSS. Twitter is a minefield. And I don’t remember RSS being a constant fight to avoid content while that’s pretty much a requirement on Twitter.

As for your proposed solution, sure, following something like kottke could “solve” the problem but the reality is that you’re simply sweeping the problem under the rug.

Also the joy of discovery is completely lost when I do that, at least for me.

But hey, to each their own. I’m not saying everyone has to struggle with this as much as I do.

When I first read the top-level comment I initially thought the same thing.

After reading your comment I'm thinking that we'll eventually see start seeing YouTube videos crop up of three guys with sawzalls and angle grinders cut out a battery onto a skateboard and hoist it into the back of a truck in minutes.
It not somebodies else problem that you are incompetent and proud of it.

But for education sake of someone else than you, here is an example:

Lets assume vaccine efficacy of 90% against serious illness.

This means that when 100 unvaccinated people would become seriously sick, only 10 of vaccinated people will. Obviously instead of 1000 unvaccinated it would be 100 and so on.

There is no contradiction in having high efficacy and still having considerable risk of serious illness.
pg_query is very nice! But I'm not sure how valuable it is to have the standalone analyzer. Why not just ask to the database? You need the statistics and the catalog to do the math anyway, don't you?

This means this project is abandoning open source and free software, as the Elastic License is not an open source license.

> The Apollo developer community is at the heart of everything we do. As stewards of our community, we have a responsibility to prevent harm from anyone who intends to exploit our work without contributing back. We want to continue serving you by funding the development of important open-source graph technology for years to come. To honor that commitment, we’re moving Apollo Federation 2 to the Elastic License v2 (ELv2).

One of these things can't be true.

It's really disheartening to see fake-open-source projects like this tout "the community" without realizing that taking software freedoms away (which is what this not-open-source license does) is ultimately an antisocial move. Being able to run a business off of a private fork of the software you gave away is not a bug, it's a feature. It's not exploiting anyone.

There are lot of fake open source people and companies around now. Docker Desktop, for example, isn't even source available.

Similarly, I personally view the AGPL as a nonfree license, although it's being pushed by anticapitalist zealots at the FSF who of course invented the notion of software freedom in the first place so my classification is, of course, controversial.
That was a lot to take in, with no hard conclusions on some aspects.

I usually soak beans using the quick soak method (put washed beans in boiling water, turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for an hour or two) or an overnight soak. I throw the soaking water (this is to get rid of phytic acid/antinutrients) and then use fresh water to cook the beans in a pressure cooker.

The issue with foam happens only with some beans or lentils. For those, either dry roast them first before cooking in water or scoop off the foam for a minute while it’s on full boil and foaming.

Some beans can be cooked without soaking. But I’ve found that chickpeas do come out better with a soak. Same for kidney beans too, but they don’t require as much soaking.
It happened at least once.
Basically all of my favorite games get worse simulation performance (FPS or UPS) the longer you play as the simulation becomes more complex (Factorio, RimWorld, Oxygen Not Included, Kerbal Space Program, Stellaris) so the performance is absolutely desired.

Say that before there is any censorship, we start with a probability of 50%. People disagree, we don't know, it's plausible but not proven, that's our best guess.

Then censorship occurs. This is new information. Evidence.

If the censorship occurred because they don't like the speculation but they don't know any better than you, this doesn't affect the probability, because it's not dependent on whether the idea is true.

If the censorship occurred because it was true and they wanted to suppress it, it was true. If there is any non-zero probability that this is what happened, the censorship is some evidence that it did, so the existence of the censorship increases the probability that it was true from 50% to some higher amount.

If censorship only happened for the second reason then the calculation would be easy. If censorship happened, the probability that it was true would be 100%. It can happen for both reasons, so depending on how likely each reason is, the probability given censorship increases proportional to how likely that was to be the cause of the censorship. But unless the probability of the second alternative is zero, it increases by some.

There is a fairly influential activist movement that promotes "Vision Zero". The ostensible goal is to reduce car accident injuries to zero, in practice this means a soft ban on cars: remove parking, remove lanes, snail speed limits. See also The Coddling of the American Life for a broad treatment of the subject. People seriously believe they have a right to infringe other people freedoms in the name of safety.

> An average person in the US spends $2,641 per year on food. If you're a dev making 100k per year, that's less than 3% of your income. Increase that by 25% to $3,301 and it's still just a little over 3%.

$2,641 per year is just over 7 bucks a day. If a $100k salaried dev is able to pull that off, it’s only because they are milking the free office food.

In my usage, which is game development with Unity, I haven't really been particularly impressed with the performance improvements on my 10-core M1 Pro machine. I'm sure most of the blame is due to Unity (the app is a buggy mess), but it definitely took the initial "wow this is magic" down to reality very quickly for me.
The normal CPU draw was on the order of 500W. Given that you only get full power from the panels for ~8 hours per day, the rest went into the batteries. I didn't actually run on batteries unless the mains was down. It was built as a "solar UPS" so the batteries were always kept charged when possible.

There is a long story behind this project. The gist is that my power was crap because the last leg was a 40 year old 4KV transformer and the power demands of the neighborhood outpaced capacity. When I first reported this to the power company, they thought I was a loon. None of the neighbors were complaining so I must be some kind of nut job (with a strong math/electronics background and several years experience working in power systems, before switching to satellites). Anyway, after a few months of nagging them, I got their attention and they assigned me a power quality engineer. He came out with a RVM (recording volt meter), but he (deliberately?) misconfigured it so it filled up its recording buffer within a few minutes instead of the one week period upon which he would return and collect it. So of course he found nothing wrong and I must be crazy. I needed reliable power so I built the solar UPS. After building the monitor and control system for it, I had a few spare data acquisition channels so I scaled the AC mains on one of them and made a web page for it.

When all of that was working, I emailed a hyperlink of the AC mains history chart to the power engineer who had ignored me. Within just a few hours I got a call from his boss, who offered to use my house as a load regulation point for their sorry ass power grid. (This was in an affluent suburb of LA so no excuse.) Apparently they did not like the fact that (even though I never published the link anywhere else) I was advertising to the world that the power grid was fluctuating by more than +/- 10% when the NEC says it SHALL not fluctuate by more than +/- 5%. Service was pretty good after that.

A few years later the power company replaced the final leg with a 16KV transformer and service has been excellent since then. Thus, no more need for the solar UPS system, which was taken down about seven years ago to get the roof re-done.

I’m sure there are other people here they can provide more detail but in my experience with DJI products, they are generally aware of any FAA mandated restrictions on flight based on the gps coordinates of the drone and will attempt to enforce and/or notify the user while flying.

They seem to be less up to speed on local restrictions. I have a DJI Mavic Air 2 and flew it last year in Colorado with no issues from the software. However I was in complete violation of some local regulations that I wasn’t aware of.

As others have mentioned, there are apps to do a better job of being complete, it’s not really that difficult to deal with but it’s disappointing at times.
It could be that you just don't have very strong emotions. The "dynamic range" of felt emotion varies greatly between individuals.

I registered "steve.org.uk" in April 1999. steve.com and steve.org were registered in 1995, and 1997 respectively. So I guess I was very slow!

Happily after moving from the UK to Finland I did manage to grab steve.fi, which had expired within the first year of my relocation.
I recently bought a secondhand Original DJI Mavic Pro for chump change. For someone who knew nothing about drones it staggered me. For something so technologically advanced to be considered 'old' tech (manufactured 2017) is just unreal.

It is now my frame of reference for all sorts of technology. Automatically not crashing, auto return to home, insane maneuverability on sport mode and all at a bizarrely low price for something that would have seemed science fiction to many punters 20 years ago.

By commoditizing this kind of consumer tech that interfaces with the real world, DJI has changed my perception of what existing technology could be capable of and changed the way I consider usability in my own work.

But then this is not really any different from the second reason, because the chance of any given proscribed topic being true would average to 50%. Necessarily so because to ban the debate in that context is to ban both sides of it and averaging both sides of the same issue together will always yield 50%.

Meanwhile you still have the non-zero (even if small) probability that they could censor something they want to suppress because they know it's true.

I used to hear that about ruby from devs from other companies, it's just the groups you roll with that define a lot of your choices, including frameworks.
Its hard to know for sure; as they say, if you had asked Ford's customers what they wanted, they'd have asked for a faster horse. Its also a question that's complicated by another duopoly; the real question is, what kind of innovation are we missing out on due to both Google Chrome and Safari stifling creation by exerting corporate interests over a billion+ users of the open web?

I have two ideas:

For starters; Their, and Mozilla's, tracker obfuscation technology is something I'd label as an innovation for the web, and I'm happy that they've taken a stance toward privacy and not against it. Its easy to imagine a parallel reality where they didn't adopt such a strong stance, and iOS users have less of a recourse for a privacy-respecting web browsers.

Additionally; I'd say, micropayments. Now, you can interpret that as crypto-based, or traditional card based, and both have issues beyond just innovation in web standards and browser implementation. But: I strongly believe that some kind of web-native micropayment framework would fundamentally reshape the landscape of the web for the better. There are so many news articles behind paywalls I would have gladly given $0.50 to read; but with the requirement to create an account, dig out my credit card, and agree to pay $10/month (which they make hell to cancel); I click away. Or, supporting a creator; even a commentator here on Hacker News for an especially insightful comment. Not everything is worth $5.

For that kind of price one almost needs to use the drone to make some money. Definitely out of my range. But for less then $50 I bought a basic drone from walmart that was awesome to fly. It could take pictures mind you the camera was fixed so you had to turn the drone the way you wanted to shoot. It was a hell of a lot of fun and I am thinking of getting another one some time to fly around the yard.
I sorely miss Clojure's immutable data structures when I use other languages (Python, Javascript, C++). They give me a guarantee that nobody else is going to be changing the data, somewhere deep down the call stack. I've had cases in production Python code where some seemingly unrelated code module somewhere was mutating data without my knowledge, breaking whatever I was working on. This is much harder to have happen in Clojure (you have to go out of your way to store things in mutable types, or use Java interop hacks to do this, which shouldn't pass code review without good reason).

Clojure's sequence abstraction also leads to a very rich and powerful set of core functions that make transforming your data a breeze. Other languages can do this too, but in Clojure I find its just really easy and natural since its part of the language's core library.

It also helps emphasize pure functions: data in, data out. Which makes my code much nicer.

Besides that, I use clojure because I like reitit and spec/malli for writing my HTTP routes, and hugsql for writing my SQL, both much better than the equivalent libraries in other languages I use.

I also like its emphasis on data first, code second. Sure you can do this in other languages too, but Clojure encourages it since its something the community has rallied behind.
I'm not dismissing them. I'm telling you that international food prices do not matter. These farmers do not sell their food at international prices. That's something that's allowed in very few third world countries. I'm not making a suggestion, I'm informing you of the reality. If my family growing up had to pay international food prices I'd be dead or severely stunted.

It's not far away and out of sight, I come from a third world country myself. If it weren't for these laws 99% of the food would be exported and people would starve.

It's definitely an issue for regions that cannot grow their own food, yes. There are not enough of those for 130 million people to starve. And while yes, there are multiple ongoing famines, none of them are caused by lockdowns. Instead, their root cause is either drought, crop failure or predominantly war. It's important we find the right causes.

Food growth has not slowed. The growth in food growth has slowed. Food production is still increasing every year.

I don't mean to say that hunger is not an issue. It is. It's just that lockdowns have not been a significant issue in this respect. In the places where hunger is a deadly issue, international food prices simply do not matter.
