Its a shift in some ways. Lowers a lot of friction for prototyping and production purposes for plenty of adhoc tools. People think this will help. It does and it will. I've used quite a bit of it and had generally good results. We're only in the early stages even though plenty of tools are a decade old.

But it has limits like everything else. Vendor lock-in is returning similar to the old days of mainframes. But at least this time around the tools are more varied and from different vendors as well as the ability to use one of many languages in most cases.

You can run a bunch of businesses with writing very little code. What they don't seem to include in that no-code advertising blurb is the amount of configuration required for some no-code solutions. Especially integrating each *aaS to the next. That seems trivial but can become quite a project.

The bigger cloud offerings such as AWS create dependencies that might be an issue for a lot of businesses if they try to switch. This includes wanting on-premises solutions for whatever reason instead of the cloud. AWS is more than "hey you can run redis, mysql etc in the cloud". Its constellation of convenience is quite a thing to behold. Gets hard to leave. That's the new variant of the old vendor lock-in strategy: You don't want to leave and it can hurt a lot to do so.

There is also an issue with non-cloud alternatives as inherent to most of the no-code solutions in practical use. Unless of course you have a disaster recovery plan for when your favorite sites go down. We still need to have DR plans even for no-code.

You are ready for the no-code platforms you use to go offline, right?

Haven't mentioned security. Better not forget that either.

No-code means more contract management.

The problem isn't labels in general. It's that Prop 65 went way too far, it was a case of the boy crying wolf for every rodent walking around.
> we spent more on compliance than their penalty

Sounds like a failing over EPA penalty, not that we should allow pollution! Why should we as a society allow large scale pollution to poison our world without containment?
>But if that is too much to dig into

Is that similar to the difficulty digging into whether an all-new-EV car fleet is practical, from an electric needs/power grid capacity and stability/charging infrastructure spread/battery making capacity/battery materials capacity/standpoint? Or to the physics and statistical arguments regarding their total relative environmental impact with externalities taken into account?

>consider the incentives in play, and who has more to gain from spreading disinformation.

EV companies that have the chance to sell the entirety of new cars, with state mandated priority to their technology, and ample subsidies and tax-cuts?
If you live in the burbs you're probably still better off driving to Milwaukee. Parking in Chicago itself would be more than the fuel charges and you're not reducing emissions since the track isn't electric anyway.
Why isn’t the result of those actions that those auto manufacturers either pay more or go without, rather than every buyer paying more and/or going without?
Absolutely. And it'll keep working on a sandy beach far from any power source.

I doubt that; for the foreseeable future, the future of JavaScript infrastructure will likely continue to be TypeScript and C++.

deno is too opinionated to absorb a significant number of node.js developers that just want to get stuff done.

Sure, there will be tools written in Rust (because it's the new sexy thing) just like there were tools written in Go (when it was the "new sexy thing"), but it's not going to take over the ecosystem any time soon.
In general, it is a good practice to try and maximize compile-time resolution of dependencies and minimize network resolution of them. Services are great when the working set doesn't fit in RAM or the different parts have different hardware needs, but trying to make every little thing its own service is foolish.

Doing so makes this a less pertinent problem.
As a pre-order customer, I don't mind the delay. I'm glad they're doing it right instead of rushing to meet a deadline.
Strings following certain rules are entirely valid representations of paths, just like sequences of path components in the chosen language/framework are. Similarly, the sequences of bits that make up the sequences of your language/framework in memory are an entirely valid representation of said sequences of components.

Yes, paths have structure, but saying "a path is not a string" is equivalent of saying "C source code is not a string". Both are strings, and both are something else, represented by strings according to rules. Different internal representations have different advantages and disadvantages. I fully agree that for things such as "adding components" an internal sequence/list representation is better, but strings can pass arbitrary IPC or even ABI boundaries much easier for example. (And you wouldn't bat an eye for example when you see FQDNs like "www.google.com" passed as a string instead of as ["www","google","com"] because the string representation works pretty well.)
Wow thanks for all your feedback :) We'll make a note of them!

Did you even read the article? The last two sentences are: "Still, I think we can see why people in Seattle might feel there’s a crisis. Maybe anecdotal knowledge ain’t so bad."

The whole point of the article is that things vary widely across different locales. In some places homelessness is increasing by a little bit; in other places homelessness is increasing by a lot; in other places it's decreasing. The article also makes the useful point that perceptions of "crisis" are often related to whether unhoused folks are sheltered or unsheltered. We don't hear a lot about the homelessness crisis in New York even though its homelessness rate is statistically the highest in the nation.
Es modules are one of hundreds of features that have been added to javascript since es5. Others include typed arrays, promises, async/await, and so on. Babel configured to recompile code to es5 will polyfill all of those JS features. So the highly efficient V8 implementation of Uint8Array is replaced with slow javascript. Code using async await will be rewritten to use a promise polyfill and callbacks. And so on. The resulting code will be bigger and slower. Sometimes much slower depending on what it’s doing.

List of features in each version of JS: https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es2016plus/ (also check the ES6 tab)

Yeah seriously: Why are JST connectors so scarce all the sudden? They're literally just some metal and plastic (Polycarbonate?). Unless there's a shortage of metal wire (cuz that's all it is; pressed into a squareish shape) or plastic why would the world be running out of JST XH (and other JST) connectors?

Are there serious bare wire and/or plastic shortages right now? I've read about price increases but not shortages.
In dry areas like Colorado, that's because snow on the north facing slopes melt much later and provides water later in the season. So while the soil on the other sides are already dry when the sunlight is the strongest, the north slope soil still has water left.
This data is interesting because it illustrates how few chronic homeless people there are, and yet people who live in cities with large homeless populations will tell you how disruptive they can be. In NYC, a homeless person getting in your subway car ruins the entire ride. This tiny portion of the population has an outsized impact on everyone else. For this reason, among others, society should find some help for these people.

Now the industry is giving cancer to poor people and needs to be punished. Who is right and who is wrong?

This argument confuses policy and morality and somehow implies we should ignore both.

Morally, if you spew chemicals you know are going to cause significant excess deaths, you will have to live with yourself and myself and many people will think little of you.

Legality, if you spew an otherwise unknown chemical that you happen to know is quite toxic, you'll be liable. If you stay with EPA guidelines but happen to know this is going to kill or injure significant number, you only have public perceptions and your own conscious to answer for.

Policy wise, the EPA should impose regulations that make all neighborhoods reasonably safe. Moreover, I suggest structuring the regulation process to incentivize creating compliant processes rather than in terms of after-the-fact punishments. (I've heard a variety of contrasts between the US and Europe, where despite the US very "pro-capitalist", the regulatory paradigm is entirely adversarial).
Thanks. Any idea what CPU will they be moving to?
Geeze. Climate change alarmists have been so incredibly wrong for almost two generations.

I've mentioned this before, but I live near Glacier National Park. In the early 2000s, some new screeching alarmist climate model forecasted the demise of the glaciers in the park by 2020. Signs at all the parks' entrances were erected stating this sad climate fact. But when ol' 2020 rolled around and the glaciers were still there, the signs with the climate facts were taken down with zero fanfare and zero interest in why the claim was wrong, no interest in ascertaining why the climate model failed.

Reminds me a lot of the CIA and it's hilariously worse-than-useless history. A few months before the fall of the wall and the crumbling of the Soviet empire, CIA reported that Russia was as strong as ever, a huge threat, they reported on its secret military buildups that were never in existence and this booming economy cranking out war machine stuff constantly, a real juggernaut. They were the most surprised people to find the soviet empire crumbling--they'd spent generations amping up every president that this was _the_ threat, existential, and justified all manner of ridiculous garbage. And this was just the cherry on a multi-decade ice cream sunday of failed predictions, bad intelligence, and counterproductive covert ops.

Eventually, it came to the point where the president, hilariously the son of a CIA director, had to state that their opinions were worthless, basically, before they tried to, like, improve their intelligence gathering systems.

Climate change alarmists are like post-wall CIA right now. Zero credibility. A track record that is just unbelievable--full of shrill, insane predictions over decades that have been completely disproven by basic facts and evidence.

Ice caps gone by 2000! No, wait, 75% chance they're gone by 2014! No wait, gone by 2030! Florida sunk by 2015!

For something as difficult to predict and globally observe and for something as complex as the environment, I'd say we should be very wary of anyone pushing shrill alarmism.

It should be very suspicious that the shrill alarmists seem to always have the solution which invariably involves them getting lots more money and lots more power over the carbon-spewing masses. ("Increase taxes and eat less meat to change the weather." lol)

I agreed with that, I was talking about labels in the abstract but they can definitely be put to bad use.
I wonder how this will work if they can sell the hybrid cars only in Japan. A hybrid is a good idea as long as the ICE plus associated mechanics is cheaper than the bigger battery pack you need for a BEV.

However, as soon as the battery pack is cheaper (and in many cases BEVs are already cheaper to run), your are out of the competition if you only offer hybrid in a market that desires BEVs.

Yeah, and really the moral of the story shouldn't be (just) to get good at parsing, but to assume that any two parsers may disagree on how to parse a piece of data as part of your security model.

There's no such thing as fair discussion about those topics here.
The part number explosion may not be as bad as you think: ST very likely does some relabeling/fuse programming of the same die to make multiple part numbers. As the most classic example, the STM32F103C8 promises 64KB of flash, and the F103CB (note CB vs C8) has 128KB. But it turns out that some of the 64KB actually have 128KB [1], and they've just been fused to report the smaller part number.

> Beat their record fine from the EU? None of the others seems like a plausible result.

The reason they dare to try is because they know they might even get away with it.

I'm definitly not condoning it but the situation is very different from when they got fined. At the time Microsoft was fined smartphones weren't a thing. One might argue that this competes with Microsoft desktops marketshare. Also in notebook sales Chromebooks have on average (roughly) about a 20% market share [1]. On top of that Microsofts browser market share was 90+ % at the time of the fine, now it's almost non existant.

If it were up to me they would be fined into oblivion for this anti-competitive behavior but I think they might actually get away with it.

Because all capacity is being used. So it's not that today's capacity costs more (this capacity was sold and paid for months/years ago), it's future capacity that costs more. Until there are more chip factories, this is going to be an ongoing problem for the chip industry.
Yes, but they generally don’t. And yes I’ve seen a bike rider t-boned and tossed in the air before. I’m well aware of the carnage from crashes.
You have to have proper luck with trajectory (your older brother had it to tell you the stories) - you go fast on a bike, you keep that speed when jumping off it. Then you either hit something hard (probably instant death) or you land and start sliding/tumbling.

If you still don't hit anything, you can often even walk away, or end up with minor arm/foot injury. Unfortunately I've seen videos of contrary, ie couple riding same bike, hitting car, flying over it, sliding maybe 50m and still hitting curb so hard their bodies jumped quite a bit in the air. Both dead on spot.

It relates to a lot of things. One thing like telephone adoption "at this rate, everyone will need to be an operator" and then we had self-dial phones instead of switchboard operators. So for simple often done things people can do it themselves. For other rare/special things we can still call for an operator (we still have those right?)

Another way to look at it is like computer architecture. We have technologies for holding data and impedance mismatches between them, so we make intermediary caches, integrated/hybrid devices and devices start blending to look like each other 3D XPoint/NVMe. On another scale a Facebook datacentre can look like a macroscale computer architecture. My point is that 'programming' and programmers started out being one thing, but there will be many different forms of this at many levels, in various vertical areas. We already have specialized platform (Shopify) programmers, and self-serve (Zapier/Airtable) and even among those there could be third-party helpers as has happened around Google sheets data collectors/analyzers. Lo-code/no-code is so many things. It comes back to 'any sufficiently capable configuration schema becomes a lisp'. People want to tweak, so they learn to program.
Given that the title was changed after my comment, I'd say that the comment was substantive, and contributed to the conversation.

Questioning that there's a homeless crisis when the data shown in the submission states that there's north of 500,000 homeless in the US is an absurd starting point for a conversation.

That is, _there is no conversation to be had about that question_. And any debate held by HN on that would be astoundingly privileged.
Evidence? I've read articles talking about homeless being shipped both out of CA and into CA, but no solid reporting that quantifies the gap between those two flows.
The data doesn't really seem to support this, and my personal experience doesn't either. Most homeless people in my Californian town were living nearby when they became homeless. And though I didn't go to high school here, friends who did recognize people they grew up among the homeless.

There's a far bigger difference between California and its neighbors: housing costs and availability of housing even for those with money. I have known many well employed people in my town that have not been able to get an apartment even after applying for upwards of 20 apartments. When paired with application fees, that means that these people spend $500-$1000 merely on application fees before they finally get into an apartment.

That awful situation doesn't happen in Montana or Nevada, as far as I know.
In the article, they say:

>The service we switched from Go to Rust is the “Read States” service. Its sole purpose is to keep track of which channels and messages you have read

>On cache key eviction, we commit your Read States to the database. We also schedule a database commit for 30 seconds in the future whenever a Read State is updated.

So it's a separate service whose only purpose is to store data in-memory with occasional commits to persisted DB, which sounded a lot like Redis. But of course, a special optimized service is always going to outperform a general purpose tool such as Redis.

They also replaced HashMaps with BTreeMaps, reduced the number of memory copies they were doing, etc. -- which has nothing to do with Go, but also contributed to a performance increase
> In NYC, a homeless person getting in your subway car ruins the entire ride

I've ridden with homeless in the same car as me plenty of times and only occasionally will they be disruptive.

I'm far more irked with showtime than with the occasional sleeping down-on-his-luck guy.
That's how I would interpret that statement.

Why pay when it's free?

That it's not supposed to be free rarely crosses the minds of those types of "consumers".
That seem like a wonderful way to have the NRA and Planned Parenthood swimming in cash, and no money at all for building lighthouses and sewers.
I agree, UI stands for User Interface. If we the users can't trust it to display information accurately then it is a poor interface.
Disappointed that there were atleast two in Richmond and I never saw the interesting one.

No, they're just being short-sighted and revenue-first. Think about how the rental car companies sold their idle car stocks and now can't rent cars reliably to anyone.
Seems to be catching up to Azure’s Resource Graph…
I don't think this is true because it is non-chronic homelessness which decreased in Nevada. Is there any evidence for this theory?
I agree there should be a plan, but currently government subsidies the oil industry more than they subsidise anything green.

It is early access, pre-production and suppose to be invite only. The author did not submit or told me to submit it on HN. I dont even know Jarred and only follow his twitter account.

Well I guess I made the mistake of submitting Hop on HN in the first place. Which leads to submission of Bun here. The amount of negativity in this thread is depressing. I am now considering not doing it any more.
Rust probably will have its place, but it is useless to assume that it will oust code that is already used and trusted. Even the people at Firefox figured out that it would be near impossible to replace their C++ infrastructure to use something unproven. I guess rust advocates would have an easier time creating something new and successful rather than preaching that people should throw their code in the garbage just to rewrite it in the language of the day.
Yeah but what are you doing about connectors to join the boards together? There's serious shortages of things like JST connectors right now just like chips.
Oddly enough, this is the most optimistic way I've seen the state of our institutions described without agressively veering into the realm of fiction
> When all of the available shelters are full this is not a relevant question.

It is relevant when we are talking about building more housing. Why build something if people won't use it?

> Near transit so people that can't afford a car can get around. There's not a shortage of underutilized land in west coast cities.

Underutilized land near transit? What do you do about the NIMBYs?

> no, none of those situations are improved by leaving someone outside.

Of course, but do you want to live in a shelter with people doing drugs? Should there be some that are drug friendly and some that aren't?

> There are complex problems in our society, but not having enough bedrooms has a simple solution: build more bedrooms.

Actually providing public housing isn't simple though. We have a long history of trying all kinds of approaches that didn't work for whatever reason. There's no simple answer.

> Someone is going to have a better chance finding a job if they get a good night sleep and have a place to shower.

This assumes they want to find a job though.
