The entire page loads faster than most "AJAX" interactions on full-fat Gmail. Plus it doesn't use more memory than my first three Web-connected computers had combined, for a single tab.

Only way Gmail's tolerable.

Their worst version isn't full-fat Gmail, though, but their lite mobile version. They've done something idiotic with touch & scrolling on there that causes "stop the scroll" touches to register as taps on elements, making it damn near unusable. You fling-to-scroll, tap-and-hold to stop, but it takes the tap-and-hold as a touch on whatever's under your finger. Also triggers tap-events it when you're making multiple scrolling swipes. I dunno what it is about Google and fucking up mobile web interfaces for no reason. AMP pages also had inexplicable make-scrolling-shitty code in them, which was part of why I hated them. Why put in more work to make mobile suck? It makes no sense.

The connector is actually the easier thing to weather proof the issues I’ve seen were always due to an inappropriately selected cable.

Dan Bricklin was at some local tech event I was at several years back. I sort of recognized him, but had to surreptitiously check his name badge to be sure. Being old, I [sort of] knew who he was but figured most of the folks in our circle wouldn’t.

Intending to honor him, I dropped a line about how smart the team who created Lotus 1-2-3 must have been. Needless to say, Dan was not as amused/honored at my reference as I’d intended (had I gotten his product correct).
Looks nice! I wanted to try stuff with lots of spelling/grammar mistakes to see how it handles that:

I think you missed the point of my post. I am fine with accounting for the challenges that someone has due to their background and circumstances. I just don't think it should be done by changing how we measure things. I feel that we should measure objectively, even if that is "unfair". What we do with the raw data, and how we weight the circumstances around that is a separate question, and I agree with you that it would be unfair to judge someone purely based on a grade without taking their circumstances and the challenges that held them back into account.

Where are you? My condo building in the loop has several choices of providers, including a a gigabit ethernet port from Google Webpass. (which is apparently serviced via point-point microwave link on top of our building)

Either way Starlink won't be very useful with too high a user density (just basic bandwidth math), so it's not a good fit for urban areas. 5G/LTE (which you are using) is a much better option since there are cell antennas like every block.
Agreed. "there are only two sexes" seems excessively imprecise. XXY or XYYYY and several other permutations exist.
This is generally my thought too… it’s not a perfect rule but the less libraries/tooling/etc you have on the front end, the better, at least initially. Server tends to be a more sane and controlled environment, especially if you’re using a “boring” tried and true setup instead of whatever is currently trendy.
I'd like to say a few words about where I would like the game to go. Right now it throws everything at you in one big big bucket of fun, but I plan to have a series of discrete challenges and different modes to experience songs in different ways. For example a level with just mines and arrows and no robots might be good for learning. Also, one thing I'm working on is a "falling blocks composed of dancing robots" puzzle mode and you have to match 3 in a row of the same color/type. On top of that, a versus mode is in the works.

You're right, poor choice of words.

Quite rational market adjustments.

However...I did end up going to another dealership that didn't do the adjustments. Since I tend to stick with vendors, especially for large ticket items, I suspect the total lifetime value the first dealership missed out on by tacking on the market adjustment (that they didn't tell us about until we asked -- it wasn't on the sticker), eclipses the extra profit they would have made on that sale, even when adjusting for the time value of money.

I think the most famous no-code app is WordPress.

Some estimate that 70% of all websites run WordPress.
But I can tell you my salary was paid by customers who wanted this 'one custom application' that was not available as WordPress plugin.
I find that it is great until you want to do something it doesn't really support... and then it is hell. The inflexibility is a killer. I am only interested in a system that lets you code if you want.
So airlines generally recommend you get there 1 hour for a EU internal flight before your flight for security/etc. Pre-covid you could usually get away with less at a lot of airports, but even if that didn't eat up your time, I think for up to almost two hours of extra travel time I'd rather avoid the airport and all the hassle associated with modern air travel.
I had to move my development folders because you can't develop Android apps if your project path contains a space. Not sure where the issue is, if it's gradle or something else.

Wow. This whole site is amazing, Chris. I found and skimmed through the part you've written on my compiler as well, and it's amazing how much effort you've put into digging into it. I'll have to spend some time going through the ones you've written so far in detail.

I haven't touched my compiler much for most of last year and this year, but I have a half-finished GC sitting my local tree that I really should wrap up. At the moment what's stopping it from compiling itself correctly is a couple of small bug fixes plus some GC and overall allocation improvements (it's creating way too much garbage to start with, which I'm sure you noticed).

Most of the packages still have access to the home directory of the running user, right? The sandboxing almost always seems either configure to be as lax as possible or so strict so that it causes issues. For most desktop linux users if a app has access to their home directory and network access then it already has 99% of interesting things.
I put a book on a table in a library and every time someone reads it, it costs me a penny.

However, every time someone reads it I am also paid 2 pennies by a dude that wants to tell people about his new book.

People were fine with that, so I also found another guy to pay me 2 pennies to talk about the book he wrote as well.

A negligibly small fraction of those people have started wearing earplugs. How unfair!

So I found a third guy to pay me 2 pennies to talk about the book he wrote as well, and more people started wearing earplugs! What the heck!?!

Creepiest thing I've read on this website by a good margin.

"Sex work" is an interesting subject because it divides leftists into those who view it as a further intrusion of markets into peoples' lives (bad) and those find it "empowering" (good).

I have a basically Freudian (conservative) view that repression is necessary for civilization. We're testing that right now. I don't think free-market love will go any better than free love did. We'll see.

I'm curious as to why more high rise buildings don't incorporate "park floors" or large balconies. The walls are non-structural after all so you could push them further into the building and have an open air space. You could add extra headroom by making those floor taller as well.

Is it simply a cost issue? Everyone is just trying to maximize "livable area" at the expense of not making the structure itself more livable?
> There's a reason human nature is to criticize and focus on flaws - that's how progress is made.

This may lead to progress, but I don’t believe this is WHY we do this. People are moralizing creatures. Much like we are “programmed” to recognize faces, (even when they’re not there) so too are we programmed to see issues in moral terms. Once you start paying attention to what people say, this conclusion is almost unavoidable: often discussion will never get into the details of things, but simply focus on the question of whether something is “good” or “bad.” (Other times it will focus on who is to “blame,” and who is the “victim.”)

Hopefully my tone hasn’t come off too harsh, since evaluating moral claims is one of the most fundamental things which make us human. Like all those other traits though, sometimes we focus on it too much, or else can’t see past the moral part of the argument.
> they need to fix it. They also need a simple database solution

I actually disagree. (improvements are always welcome though). There are so many different products in this space from MSFT to Google Docs, Quip, Confluence, Notion, etc. They're never going to actually make stuff for everyone.

Their move should just be to handle the licenses. My work buys all MSFT products, yet most people use quip docs instead. But we also pay for google docs, and confluence. Most places probs use more than one redundant tool, so you just need a "good enough" bundled-in tool.

If they can handle licenses and sales of the software, they can continue to collect their apple tax even if their app store gets trust-busted in the future. This can be a way to preserve app store revenue. Especially since businesses are whales compared to regular consumers.

You're correct, but I was talking about the actual attitudes of coders, which were remarkably hostile towards users in the 90s.
There's some nuance there though, "killer app" is sometimes short for "application" in the sense of "use" not "program"[1]. When Steve Jobs said "the killer app is making calls." in the iPhone intro, he wasn't talking about the dialer app.

I would go further and say Excel is the ultimate no-code solution. It has been used by more people to solve coding like problems by non-coders than any other no-coding tool.
Note that the chromium apt package is a transitional package only meant to be used during an upgrade, to migrate existing users. The package is marked as such and the description explains this clearly. Because the package is marked as transitional, it isn't shown in GUIs, it's only installable via the CLI.

The confusion comes mostly from people running the apt command in the CLI without looking at what the package is. There isn't a good way to transition existing users from the deb to the snap during an upgrade without having a transitional package with the same name as the original deb.
If anything we need new legislation that reminds the patent office that doing math on a computer is the same thing as doing math, and the concept of software patents is clearly invalid by definition.

Absolutely.

And as for "life sciences discoveries" - that's treading on some dangerous ground if we drift into the possibility of allowing patenting of human genes (see "Orphan Black"), or locking other naturally existing compounds and genetic sequences behind a patent. And you know companies are going to try to do all of the above, and probably other Bad Ideas that I can't even conceive of.

My city made a huge family tree database and I traced back all my anscestors to the 1500's of one branch and around the 1600's of another. It was fascinating to see I had lineage to the Polish Baltics, Northern and Southern Germany, England, and French Canadian as well.

What was a revelation to me was, I never heard of these people from my family. The only significant contribution to my life these people honestly made was the simple fact that they reproduced. I had no connection, identity, or care for who they were.

So in all, it truly made me realize, life has absolutely no purpose, and your contributions most likely won't even be permanently valuable. The only true sense of permanence that one can contribute to humanity is reproducing, and hoping your offspring will do so as well.

It's hard to upgrade existing routes that far - the normal maximum for upgraded 'classic' railways will be <225kph, while new high-speed railways (like the Japanese shinkansen) can go over 300kph.

That said, Europe already has quite an extensive high-speed network - especially in its Western parts. The French TGV, for instance, has comparable speeds to the Japanese high speed services, and there are similar (if less complete) networks in Spain, Germany, and other countries. So a high-speed network between major centres is entirely feasible and, in fact, currently being built.

There seems to be some kind of weird cult thing that goes on in nerd spaces that always involves a person with major personal problems that manages to assemble a cult of personality around themself and that cult becomes the primary means by which they support themselves. Eventually the members rebel in a coup like fashion after one of the chief henchmen who has built their own coalition see their opportunity, and either splinter off with loyalists vs rebels becoming a new fashion, or the coup attempt being successful and the space being taken over. (with new management basically acting the same as old management)

You see this play out in things as pedestrian as comic book shops. The comic book shop owner doesnt display anything resembling good business sense, but they have a coterie of people who support their business out of a sense of community and do stuff to help keep the business afloat where it would otherwise fail. Eventually someone (usually someone they know fairly well) takes a chunk of his cult and opens a new comic book shop while exposing all the horrible social abuses the old owner used to heap on people on the community space they owned.

This pattern repeats over and over in these kind of social spaces.

Maybe this happens in all social spaces that are owned by a specific person (like churches, comedy clubs, concert venues) too and I just dont see that part of the world.
Most of it is plant scale, which the model presumably uses to generate affected area size.

So you may have one plant in Kansas and another one in Texas, but the Texas one processes and discharges 100x the volume the Kansas one does.

Which makes sense re: Gulf, because there's always more demand for oil, so most of the refineries probably operate more continuously.

Going by the map in the article they are already working on some much needed additions to the rail network in that area.
I agree that it's more convenient, generally less time wasted in security theater and enforced shopping experience.

That said, at least when you get on an airplane and it leaves the gate you have a pretty decent chance of making it to your destination when you expect to.

Certainly with British trains it feels like your chance of arriving on time (to 15 minutes or so) are about 50/50.

My first job out of university was working with a very large firm that bought into Computer Associates' product suite - including 4GL code generators such as Telon ("green-screen" generators) and Easytrieve (4GL report generators). From what I recall, we spent 90% of our time trying to work around the code generators to accomplish tasks, as opposed to simply using native CICS, which was difficult to master (hence the 4GL). I've since used a number of 4GL-type tools, and they've all had the same limitation in that the tail wags the dog, to use an old idiom. Quite fast and seemingly magical if you stay within the guardrails, but as soon as you veer off course (and unless you don't want any differentiators, you will) they quickly become far more onerous than hand-coding, plus lock you into their 'forced march': cost, upgrades, incompatibilities, and so on.

As an aside, it was a very interesting time to be a developer as we had a mix of youngsters (me), who were raised on personal computers, many people seasoned on mainframes/mid-range computers, plus a few "old-timers" who started coding in the 1950s without any formal training. Everyone had great stories, and I feel lucky to have been exposed to people firsthand who were some of the first programmers (and they universally thought everything above assembly language was 'cheating'). Their stories and perspectives have stayed with me throughout my career.

There is no diff going on with Svelte. And there doesn't need to be an in-memory representation of anything. Because it is compiling the code, it knows exactly what will change and in response to what.

https://svelte.dev/repl/7161f10f8eb645d8984fb231a0bc3982?ver...

For example in that repl, you can see that it makes a call to `$$invalidate` when the input value changes (see `input_input_handler()`) which triggers a `set_data` call (see `p()`) to update just the textNode that contains the name. This is what is meant by surgical. No other work is done other than what is required to update the specific places where a variable is used.
Yeah it makes no sense to me but this happens every time I try to book a room directly. I've even offered to pay slightly more just to book directly as it's hard to trust these online sites, they still refuse.
