None of the depicted trees appear to be native to the region either. Tropical looking vegetation will look very out of place in Denver, and will be resource and time intensive to maintain, assuming it can actually survive exposed. This building looks like it was designed for Singapore, and doesn't do anything to aesthetically connect to the region.
Maintainability is always the issue, even for the things made from code.

> I may be way off here but my observation is that chips that are very configurable are the hardest to purchase. For example, the STM32 series have something like ~3000 SKUs ( https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/embedded-microcon... ).

Digi-Key is great for prototyping and small-scale production runs, but once you get into mass manufacturing your CM (contract manufacturer) is buying these parts for you through more direct channels.

STM can produce small numbers of the various different SKUs and send them off to stocking distributors like Digi-Key to support small-scale prototyping and smaller production runs, but they don't aim to stock everything in high quantities everywhere.

Unfortunately, when supply chains get tight the smallest players suffer the most. The big manufacturers went out and locked up their supply contracts when this all started. Companies like STM don't mind because it's much easier to do big manufacturing runs for a few customers than to try cater to small orders all over the place.

Of course, they'd prefer to have the capacity to serve everyone and sell as many chips as possible, but obviously we're bottlenecked on the production side relative to all of the demand.
> If you had your own Space Shuttle and 50% of it was taken away then how would you visit the stars?

Being a bit of a stickler here, but that's still a different type of problem in your metaphor.

The space shuttle will fail to launch because it's ostensibly missing critical systems now.

The software team will become ineffective because it's impossible for them to stop thinking about the original number of pink elephants.

Put another way-- if the original shuttle design called for half the required systems it still wouldn't have succeeded. But consider if the original Bell team had the post-breakup roster but the breakup itself never happened. (I.e., start with half the number of participants but keep that number and funding for them arbitrarily into the future.) Would you still be willing to state that this hypothetical team would have lacked the ability to succeed from the start?
Looking at the outcome of economic effects with "right and wrong" isn't really a helpful measurement. We should force them, not because they are "wrong" but because the economic incentives deliver an outcome that is undesirable.
Yup, in my experience any data driven goal setting steers teams towards short term wins, with potentially disastrous long term losses.

Long term value creation is a lot harder to prove, but I still always try to push for it. But most organisations can't deal with it, their decision making mechanisms are so broken that they need someone else (arbitrary data) to do the job...
Modern cities are much larger than the continued use of horses would allow. So we would have more but smaller cities today if we still used horses.

Alternatively, is pollution from car exhausts, rubber dust, brake-dust, leaked oil, etc. worse than the pollution of thousands of tons of horse manure? Or not?

Then again, today we spend billions on artificial fertilisers when there would be plentiful horse-manure to spread around instead.

So cars versus horses is not such a simple argument. Did cars rescue our cities from horses? Possibly not.
Holy shit that is insane. You’re right, that is indeed inflation proof. Is this the US?
You don't need to learn to code, and neither do your kids.

I'm a Software Developer, but I don't see why everyone should have to, or feel like they have to, learn to code.

In general, kids and adults alike, but especially kids, should spend more time being active, around others (within reason, these are extraordinary times), and outside - not in front of computer screens.

Not everyone is cut out for or interested in coding, just like not everyone is cut out for or interested in medicine, law, a trade or literally anything else.

That's not a value judgement or a judgement of people's intelligence or lack thereof (unlike a lot of techies, I don't believe we're smarter than anyone else) or a belief that you can't acquire or develop skills - it's just fact.
If you haven't done so already, you should write up a couple of versions of a press release and submit them to various news sites (like this one) where your target audience is likely to hang out. A few words about what you offer and how you differ from your competitors can go a long way.

Also, persistence. Getting people to bite can be a long process, and it can be really frustrating to put effort into promotion that results in a small return. If you're not getting any feedback in your promotions, chalk it up to the wrong place, wrong time, or wrong approach. Change one of those variables and try again. But if you see even a small amount of users start coming in, that's good. There's a potential that they will start telling people about your service and the word will spread.
Definitely applicable here. There's no way we're going to eliminate all problems with spaces etc, so why invite trouble.

I wouldn't say it's always poor engineering though, especially the 'liberal in what you accept' half.
Hey there,

I'm on the Community Relations team at GitLab. I'd love to learn more about your experience as a member of the GitLab community.

When you say that opening an issue on GitLab doesn't make you feel part of a community, are you referring issues on one of GitLab's projects (ex: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab) or are you referring to issues on open source projects being hosted on GitLab.com?

Community is very important to us so when there are areas for improvement that feedback is really valued.
>It's just very hard to sustain a business on one-off low volume hardware sales so the prices on the official site are relatively high compared to BOM (but perfectly reasonable and necessary to sustain further R&D).

I run a low-volume open source hardware business[1] and honestly don't buy this argument at all.

So many OSHW businesses have absolutely woeful logistics that treats every single person outside of the US (or occasionally EU) as an afterthought.

This both what drives up the cost and pisses people off enough to create a sustainable business model for the boys in Shenzhen.

People aren't going to support your business if you ask insultingly high shipping prices or are constantly out of stock.

You might want the front end and backend to be compatible across revision numbers, so that’s less of a problem and more of an impedance mismatch with your process.

The tests are a trickier problem, in theory you could lock version numbers (the new behavior increments to the new tests) but tests have bugs, and this doesn’t solve two people making behavioral changes at the same time.

Short of merging the tests into the respective projects, going full feature toggle for all breaking changes is the only other lever that comes to mind.
I like Javascript (mainly Typescript) and use it quite a lot. If you aren't a fan, I completely understand. However I don't understand why people feel the need to discredit something that they don't like.

It honestly makes me not want to open HN threads about JS as I know I will be met with a barrage of negative comments about something that I enjoy. I'm all for open discussion of the downsides of the JS ecosystem but that is rarely what these comments are.

Great piece! One thing to add is to look into why the anecdotes are pervasive.

This data does a great job at distinguishing between the unhoused population and the sheltered homeless population.

Where the unhoused are visible drives the perception.

In California, the same is true, with unhoused being just the tip of the iceberg in the homeless population, the difference is where the unhoused are. In favelas and bazaars in the middle of very expensive areas.

Strolling through highly trafficked areas of NYC you wouldnt make the broad reductive assumption that “New York has more homeless people”, whereas strolling through highly trafficked areas of SF/LA would be a complete culture shock.

It is an interesting topic as it’s not clear how much people know everytime the topic comes up. Is a prologue about distinguishing between unhoused/sheltered before engaging further really useful? Hard to say
> Before someone mentions "mental illness" and "drugs" and other contributors to homelessness, yes those are real factors: that said, the lower the cost of housing, the easier it is for someone on the margin of being housed or being homeless to stay housed.

This is assuming wrongly all people want to live in homes. #Vanlife, digital nomads, couch surfers can afford it and don’t want to. You’re ignoring that there’s a beautiful freedom people like, have you ever been homeless? Do you know what it’s like? It’s nice not to pay monthly utility bills, taxes if you own, do maintenance, and deal with neighbors, HOAs (the worst) and being able to leave somewhere without worrying about your lease expiring stress between jobs and paying for the apartment or landlord not fixing problems. If people really wanted to live in homes, they can move to where they can afford it, but they choose to stay and not live in a home. That is not an irrational decision, they are not ignorant cheaper houses elsewhere exist.

You talk as if you haven’t been homeless. You are assuming a lot of inaccurate things and I encourage you to live it to see what the real problems are such as consistent showering (doable with a gym membership), heat (living in a warm place fixes it), theft of valuables (stashing with friends and family or storage units), parking if you drive (Walmart parking lots are free), and nice socks (for the walking you’ll be doing or warmth) off the top of my head. Then I got a girlfriend and she wanted those things.
Because Svelte can look through the template, and at compile-time determine exactly which parts of the output need to be "surgically updated" in the DOM when some of the inputs change, without needing any runtime like a virtual DOM implementation. I don't know how you could implement such a thing (with good ergonomics) without a template language.
It's nice how you mentioned billions of dollars in the same sentence as v8.

As if your assembly-run CPU would be magically faster running three damn gigabytes of code in another language.

JS isn't the problem.

Babel is the problem. And every library using it, instead of using ES2020+ directly because every Browser supports it anyways.

NPM needs an ESM modules based header files system, and packages should be not binary, not uglified, but maintained by a standard of expectations what a library can and cannot do. Split up header files, namespaces for definitions, and expected types for all functions.

"Still using phantom? Sorry we block your package because it's outdated."

"Compiling to es5 commonjs with ie6 setting? Sorry, your package is outdated."

The ecosystem in JS has become a joke not because of the language, but because of the tooling. And now writing tooling in another language to replace that tooling will just end up in the exact same state all over again.

For the love of Rust, please don't fuck up rust crates the way the Babel fatigued ecosystem did. Don't go the micropackage way, it didn't work and it's time to reflect on that, and build up a standard library in a more centralized way.

It's also an east coast vs west coast thing. East coast culture is, go work for a big respectable firm, put on a suit and tie and dissolve into the thousands of others just like you.

They did not stop supporting it, they stopped developing it and deprecated it. They will stop supporting it in the future, but as it is a core component of windows 10 it will be supported as long as that OS is. The support schedule for windows 11 might be different since it is no longer included as a core component. The latest release of IE11 was less than 2 months ago (September 30, 2021).
It is, but they actually have a shortcut for that (--disable, --enable).
There are many possible solutions but they all add weight, complexity, and or inefficiency. For example further from the equator the lower the daytime temperature, but also directly translates into a lower subsurface temperature which has it’s own problems for a lunar colony.
My point of view, as a non-techie: Facebook.com is running fine. Instagram.com is running fine. WhatsApp is running fine. Facebook doesn't need more storage space. Facebook active users aren't growing anymore (if you exclude bots, scammers, fake profiles, and double accounts), youngsters are fleeing Instagram for TikTok, and WhatsApp is at peak market saturation. Global human population is peaking and will start declining within a couple of decades, anti-Facebook views are more popular than ever, and deservedly so. The MetaVerse will be a flop, and Facebook won't get into the cloud business, because it's too late to disrupt Microsoft and Amazon. Ergo, Facebook doesn't need anywhere near 47 new data centers. If the Facebook app was experiencing regular outages I would understand. Am I missing something?

> the sky is blue because air is blue.

Things have color because they scatter/reflect/refract/absorb/emit differently for different colors of light.

Air looks blue because it scatters blue light more than other colors. The blue components of sunlight reach you from all parts of the sky, while the non-blue components reach you mostly from the direction of the sun. At sunset, sunlight from the direction of the sun passes through much more atmosphere than during the day and most of its blue light scatters away, leaving red and yellow. [0] If air didn't scatter light, the sky would be black like it is on the moon.

Air is a gas. Gasses do not reflect light.

Air refracts sunlight and makes the sun appear flattened at the horizon [1].

Air absorbs most non-visible colors (UV and IR) [2]. Animals evolved eyes to see only the colors of available light.

During aurora, the air emits green light.

Very good advice thanks.

I pretty much run the platform for my current client — I’ve been the only real developer on the project aside from short term contributions from friends I’ve hired and took it from a sales demo to just about ready to launch so far and know the business intimately. I pretty much remind myself of the CTO at my full time job.

I think I’ll ask them for a raise.

It depends a lot. If you think of Wix/Shopify as 'no code' they are extremely powerful tools.

Lower than that, it becomes complicated as we don't have an easy way of abstracting front/back end, the business logic is still business logic.

Some things to help designers do higher level stuff, like layout, but still work below that level of abstraction is a bonus, but this is surprisingly very hard.

This is becoming potentially less true. Most of the deterrent was designed and built in the 70s and 80s based on the first strike threat models at that time. Since then, we've seen the development of, among other things:

1. The U.S. no longer maintains a command post on continuous airborne alert. There are two planes on 15 minute ground alert, but they are very vulnerable sitting on a limited set of alert facilities.

2. A couple of new submarine detection methods have gotten some development. Signal processing for sonar has improved.

3. Missile accuracy has improved, particularly in a first strike scenario where satellite navigation would be available.

4. Aerial drones have gotten much more sophisticated and compact, which could jeopardize silos, communications infrastructure, bombers on the ground, and the E-6s and E-4s.

5. Sea based drones have undergone extensive development and might become a serious threat to the submarine force.

6. Anti satellite weapons have advanced significantly, putting communications satellites to transmit launch orders at risk.

7. There has been more work on maneuvering reentry vehicles and hypersonics, which could enable depressed trajectory launches which, if they were accurate enough to destroy silos or the underground launch control facilities, could knock out the ICBMS with less than 10 minutes of warning, which is not enough to retaliate in time.

If the counterpoint is that it's rude to acknowledge the people who seem to be utterly insane, well I think that's kind of shit. If it's that these aren't the people we're referring to when we say "severely mentally ill", then I think that's just disingenuous.

Modern whiteboard interviews are not decades old. I never had any issue until the last 5 years or so. Tech interviews are testing for presentation skills and brainstorming skills, and placing a lot of weight on those alone. If that is what the job is like then I don't want it.

If your idea of best practices is copying (as best you can) someone else then I'm not a good fit for your company. In my view, its your loss and not mine - you missed an opportunity because you are not creative enough to see any other workable process.

I passed the last crap whiteboard interview I went to, even the question that no one else had gotten right previously (so they say). Didn't get the job, over-qualified - they wanted someone cheaper really. It is not about giving up too soon, its about doing something I dislike, and that has nothing to do with the day-to-day work, over-and-over.
The article like most people that haven’t been homeless don’t know anything about homelessness aside from inferring from statistics and knowing what is the problem without actually talking to homeless people. #Vanlife people enjoying parking at the beach are chronically homeless and unsheltered.

It’s a great way to dehumanize people’s desires and motivations with wrong assumptions by lying with statistics.

They're not doing proper supply management. You can do proper supply management with JIT or without JIT. You can also do improper supply management with JIT or without JIT.

For it to be "no true scotsman" they would have to be claiming that "doing JIT" is a solution to supply management. And they're not claiming that.
