Propellant boil-off is not that big of an issue unless you somehow blow up multiple launch sites.

And just saying 'its complex' therefore lets spend 40 billion on development and then limit our options by paying 3 billion per launch is an insane plan.

Overall complexity is reduced by not having those two legacy systems.
Seems more like variety. React is in a league of it's own with React Native. For web tech Svelte is cool, for app tech it's not on the radar.

I used to be a web developer, now I'm a React Native / RNW developer.

I don't use web tech unless I'm making a simple web page, when I do I use vanilla HTML/CSS/optional JS.

You get a web app for free when you make a RN app. You can share 95% of code among 5 platforms. (web, windows, macos, ios, android)

Conditionals can change any styling you need amongst them. You can swap out scripts depending on platforms, you can access any extra native platform function with extensions.

Svelte doesn't work for me because you need JS. I don't want to need JS for simple web pages, for apps I need cross-platform.

Svelte could work well for edge computing like CF workers.
Looks like Unreal and Unity might get Blendered.

If the metaverse is like the web, then a step like this is crucial. The web would suck if we had to pay Netscape and Opera to browse it.

It'd be nice if Google and Microsoft jumped on board the Godot train.
This is based on survey responses from a 1000 people, based on DII which is apparently misused and not well understood. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6416047/

My observation, people like to eat and generally don’t like to excercise. If a million well researched and documented studies say that better health is the direct result of regular exercise, and 1 study by a quack says to stop eating these 5 things to improve health, the 1 study will be shared a billion times on Facebook.

Meanwhile I get glared at because I look at them and say, I don’t think cheddar cheese is your problem. The reason you are gaining weight, can’t sleep, and have health problems is because you live a sedentary life.
Chocolate is not beneficial in any way, shape, or form. It's a lie perpetuated by the food industry.
You got it 100%. Google Forms is great until you have to integrate it with a website. This is meant to work just like Google Forms but with the ability to be embedded right into any layout.
> I can always put a capture card between my screen and the device or use a vm

Nope, look up HDCP. They could enforce that on desktop if they wanted to.

> or just take a picture using a second device.

Yes, but you will lose quality.
oh man, Zack Parsons' series "the insidious beast" and "instructions for a thing" were the best series i've ever read on the web. He kind of lost me a bit later on.
I think he's referring to the fact that some people react to nightshades. It can cause weird inflammation-like responses for those that are susceptible.

Yeah I’m planning to work on a PoC using Bolt: https://github.com/slackapi/bolt-js

I’m confident I can get something working reasonably quickly. I was hoping to get some Slack boilerplate out of the way, but I’m sure it’s not too obnoxious.

Also since posting I did find a generic chat bot framework that works with Slack and a few other chat systems: https://github.com/Yoctol/bottender

Even so I may give in and write it all from scratch to avoid excess dependencies.
To me, it's uplifting the entire web ecosystem. There will always be developers who pick Svelte and friends over React, even if that reason is just syntax preference. Those developers should still have the best infrastructure for their apps. Better to be pragmatic than over-prescriptive.
I had a really odd one last year where a Grave I ( well known brand name) got converted by office/excell into a Double Grave I.

The double grave I is used by some obscure orthodox religionious texts
Tab completion don’t work well for languages that require IME. That is one reason why I don’t.
What's the advantage of this with respect to overhead catenary trains? I assume cheaper installation, but much more expensive energy as it has to be stored in the battery and extracted back.
I was under the impression that data suggests the the vaccinated still spread covid. In such case, does this logic not fall through?
I know a lot of people who got thoroughly burned by doing this just before the crash in 2008. Genuine horror stories. Be careful out there.

I totally don't get this. They're tweets meaning that they're already out there. There's no scarcity here. Am I missing something?

From the data in Israel it is clear that Pfizer's efficacy vanes over time, thus the need for boosters.
So, it is not because J&J is second rate. We will probably need boosters while there's high prevalence of the virus.
It depends on countries, in Italy the data on the ID of guests (of a hotel or similar) is transmitted electronically (within 24 hours) to the Police.

This since a few years, 2013 I believe, until then you had to send (via snail mail) the "records" or bring them daily to the nearest Police (or Carabinieri) station.

The provision is since 1978, it was a Law approved in a short time due to the "emergency of fighting terrorism".
ye totally agree with that.
Spinner + some sort of semantic explanation. Like simply the text "loading gmail" or whatever. Tell the user what is happening.
When I worked as a bike mechanic in my late teens, we referred to this approach as 'shade tree mechanic work'. I loved it, because of the creativity involved. However, I grew to have a great respect for the work of other mechanics, who were more interested in taking more pains, ordering the right tool or part if it wasn't around, and typically having a somewhat better outcome.

I think there is room for both. Definitely during the prototype phase of a project, or on projects where there are very hard time constraints (epoxy is drying, etc.), or when you're out in the woods or whatever, working fast and creatively can be most beneficial. However as you transition into the finished product, it's often better to do use fresh and appropriate materials, do more QA/QC, write a robust test suite, and put a bit of polish on it (especially if it's for public consumption).
> What does that have to do with anything?

Because it influences the likelihood that I’m genetically adapted to metabolize a food. People without milk in their evolutionary environment tend to be lactose intolerant, for example.
Wow, this should be great news for Svelte and SvelteKit! Hopefully with Vercel's backing these projects will fly off.

Having worked with React for about 5 years (with a project in Vue in-between) and now having dabbled with Svelte, there is just something more appealing working with less higher-level abstractions. Sure with large apps React does have its benefits and its ecosystem is larger by a good amount.

But there is just something about being less annoying that to me is perhaps one of the most important things with any tool. If I enjoy using it, I don't mind that it may not be the "current best choice" of the moment. People who enjoy MobX especially I think ought to find Svelte quite nice.

Sure though would wish SvelteKit was at the same level with Next.js. Fixing dev server errors is a little distracting at times.
I've been doing long hackathons as of lately and i wanted to be in peak condition. Now i always knew which foods affected my mental clarity but i never took it seriously - until now.

So for the past 3 months i cut on these foods:

- Processed sugars
- Carbs (not completely)
- red meat (not completely)

Meals:
- Morning: Coffee (espresso) / sometimes i'll eat some almonds or dry fruits.
- Lunch: It varies between salmon/tuna avocado/sweet potato/brocolli and other vegetables
- Afternoon/Night: Light snacks like yogurt + honey

+ Exercise (But i've always exercised regularly)

Results:

Great mental clarity throughout the day. I used to be completely out of energy after 5pm, both mentally and physically. Now evening feel pretty close to what morning feel like in terms of focus, which is amazing for me.
I'm not saying the app is useless, I'm only saying that it's not as easy as the website states. I personally wouldn't use a mobile app for that, because it's too risky in my opinion.

Let's say we have a scenario where someone has confident information incriminating one of my theoretical adversaries and configured Zoldy with the data. What if I hire a thug to steal and destroy the phone? Will the owner be able to stop the messages which he does not want to be sent?

Can the app be restored to a functional state on a different device? If yes, then a malicious third party would be able to get access to the Google/Apple account and restore it gaining control of the sensitive information.

The website states, the data is stored in Firebase. But how does the app access it? Is there a gateway server you control? If yes, I wouldn't even bother with the previous scenarios, but attack that server and get ALL the data. Not only from one target, but from all, which would be pretty much a disaster (for you, the app and all the customers).
The point isn't that the amount of cancer caused is literally zero. Just by chance, everything will have some (generally infinitesimal) effect on cancer, and often it will be positive. The question is whether "causes cancer" is being applied to products that cause amounts of cancer that are so small that it's not worth warning people about. That consumer products and businesses are covered in these warning and few people take them seriously is prima facie evidence that this is the case, but you'd have to dig into the numbers to be sure.

For instance, Wikipedia:

> The requirements apply to amounts above what would present a 1-in-100,000 risk of cancer assuming lifetime exposure (for carcinogens)

Using the standard ~$5M statistical value of life, this mean that you need to label a product if it is estimated to impose the equivalent of $50 in costs if someone is regularly exposed to the chemical over an entire lifetime. I'm not sure what frequency of exposure is being assumed here, but naively that means that if I use the product once a week, it requires notification of about 2 cents worth of harm per usage.
Currently 250W and 15.5mph are the current legal limits in the UK. If want buy bigger and take it on the road without registering it as a motorbike, getting an MOT and insurance or paying your road tax, then you may find the rossers feeling your collar.

I ride with a friend who has gone MTB electric. I leave him behind on the flat but he gets it back on the hills. He's fine for well in excess of 40 miles. Range is mainly an issue of battery size not the wattage.
>It's absolutely not

Rarely can conversations like these be improved by absolute claims.

There’s research going back decades showing reduction in saturated fat (generally from animal products) improves cardiovascular health. CV risks are one of the largest mortality links in industrial societies.
They're not labeling things that are particularly known to be harmful. CA Prop 65 warnings are on all rice, coffee, and multi-tenant garages. When you begin labeling things that common and benign as "cancer-causing" people learn to tune it out. Pretty sure rice, coffee, and/or multi-tenant garages are found pretty much everywhere.
coding really well, pays no money by itself; taking other people's really useful code, making a sausage out of it, selling it to 'secure' contracts through 'secure' banks to 'secure' executives who dont code - PROFIT
This is a shit article by a lazy reporter who doesn't understand the rules of evidence in criminal trials. The judge is simply applying precedent here. Digital zoom does involve some manipulation of the original image. That manipulation is probably fine, but if the prosecution wants to introduce that evidence then they need to also provide an expert witness who can testify to that effect. If the prosecution failed to do so then they're incompetent and failed to do the necessary trial preparation.
I think stencil or Lit are more interesting. I'm not sure I'm the fan of small libs like Lit or preact - I think for scenarios where you have more than 2-3 elements you will have less bytes over the wire very quickly.
There are a couple starting points you could take. I spent a weekend hacking out a program that generates fake word/definition pairs with a transformer model set against a dictionary: https://youtu.be/XnJ2TKAn-Vk?t=1547. If you substitute fake words for real words and have a sufficiently accurate model you could quickly generate reasonable and novel definitions.

There are more complete versions of this kind of thing publicly available: https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist

> This would be amazing, for example, to run on a large corpus, generate the dictionary, and then run it again to find words that are used but not defined - not just in the original corpus but in the definitions too.

I think this would be how you would gauge success of the model. That is to say, you would evaluate model accuracy on a set of held-out words with definitions that never appeared in your dictionary training set but appeared in context in your corpus. You would have to manually annotate whether or not the generated definition of these held out words was acceptable.
> They do, but remember they were the low-risk bet, on tech and engines NASA already had, with contractors they already had.

You mean the political pork game sold as 'low' risk?

In fact, NASA own analysis showed this was not the case.

> Betting that SpaceX would be able to a reusable booster would be risky and betting they'd be able to deliver a fully-reusable super-heavy-lift rocket would be insane

That was not required for a much, much better solution.

> NASA's role is not to offer the best flights for the money, but to keep the aerospace industry busy and up-to-date with their own latest technology

So they spend 40 billion on legacy technology that is mostly pointless?
I'm trying some stuff, sure.

I'm wondering how to keep "slices of projects" aligned. Like, different things are in different repos - how to keep notes and additional files belonging to that, it ends up being a side hierarchy?
> If you found out that many members of MADD had installed these devices would it change your opinion on requiring it for everyone else?

At least I would respect the argument. Right now I see too many people proposing the use of force to achieve something they don't believe in enough to do themselves.
Solid is really cool, and I love the posts by it's author describing the journey to performance that is some years old now.

But what is unique about Vue is that it lets you arbitrarily mix ".vue" and ".jsx/.tsx" files in the same project.

So if you need to define say 50 really tiny helper components, like "Button", "Modal", etc. it's great.

I can write one TSX file and do:

// UtilComponents.tsx
export function Button() {}
export function Modal() {}
export function Icon() {}

And then in my .vue file I can do:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Button, Modal, Icon } from "./UtilComponents"
// ...
</script>

This is not a popular approach, almost nobody uses Vue's JSX/TSX and I'm not sure if people even know you can mix and match arbitrarily like this.

But I've been doing this for a long time and it works great for me haha.
I don't currently use it so can't comment on what features it has or doesn't have, but I find it interesting that Obsidian [1] is only given an honourable mention in this article when according to the Wayback Machine, its elevator pitch has been "A second brain, for you, forever" since before this article was published.

Nice, I liked the blog post you've got too [0]. I forgot my other gripe with Google Forms is that there's probably lost conversions to subscribers because it leaves my own site.

I keep meaning to follow one of these guides to embedding a form and posting to Google Sheets but the Google Sheets API is confusing and everyone's guide for doing this has a different method.

I just need to spend the time on it...

Seems okay to me, it's just one more layer of abstraction higher up the chain.

Exactly.

C++ is no-code if you work in x86 assembler.
The closest thing linguists have come up with, to my knowledge, are wordnets.

They build definitions by the words, directly and indirectly, associated with them. You could then use those clusters to create individual definitions in some way.

Have you looked at them?

I think the biggest problem is that definitions are semantic which computers are terrible at. We’re at the infancy of being able to with transformers and large language models nowadays. So is start looking around for the proto-tools that will lead to what you're thinking about.
Yeah - having grown up in the era the author describes I agree. Audio today sounds better and is far, far cheaper than it was back in the day. It's fun to reminisce but I wouldn't go back.

If you are building a platform for web dev, it’s better to be able to control your technology. Any change FB makes to React may leave you scrambling to patch your tech. Or What if one day FB decides to stop supporting React, or they make a design decision incompatible with your business? While it sounds unlikely, it’s bitter pill to swallow from a business angle.

Something I think helps a lot to bring moral clarity to one's thinking about the Israel-Palestine conflict is to locate where the material power to end it lies, rather than to search vainly for a party without blood on its hands.
Any lack of vitamin intake can be supplimented with otc vitamins. It is better to acquire them through food, but the often recited B-vitamin deficiency in vegans is easily quashed with a B-complex a few times a week max.

No one except people who have been affected by weird pathogens like lone star tick disease is allergic to ruminant meat. Milk is probably the single worst case example of an animal product, by a huge margin, because while almost everyone ate a ton of ruminant meat, not everyone ate a ton of milk.
Can you be more specific about what is strictly outside human rating?

Nothing in Starship should be outside of human rating specifications. They have never done those for powered landings but its not outside of scope.
But surely Apple and Samsung pay the same VAT, so a Samsung phone that costs $900 should sell for more than an iPhone that costs $800 if it was only VAT. Except that doesn't happen. The $800 iPhone costs the same (or more) as the $900 Samsung in Europe. Apple's relative markup compared to Samsung is much higher in Europe than in the US.
Not sure how far back his YT channel goes, but I used to follow Jamie way back when he was based in a crappy flat in Southern England, developing some kind of hexapod toy, and thereafter when he was in [somewhere in North America] building a crazy place in a forest somewhere.

Doubt it. First of all, computers with Windows aren't any more expensive than the same model with no OS or Linux.

The Framework is niche hardware and honestly, it's doubtful non-developers would ever hear about it. Odds are it's something Linux users are seeking out.

How is RN? I have seen several teams try to consolidate their App Devs into RN devs, only to split back into iOS/Android devs. From what I’m told, if your app could be a webpage, RN is great. But if you need to really leverage the specific platforms, it’s hard to do that.

This is unfortunately the status quo of nutrition research; A long-term RCT is the "gold standard", but it is exceedingly difficult to recruit subjects and ensure their compliance over meaningful periods of time. Which is part of why constant flip-flopping about whether something is healthy or not is almost a trope in journalism. Nonetheless, a few principles have been well established: vegetables are good, fruit is (mostly) good, refined grains and free sugars are bad.

The issue with personal experiments is often that they are just as biased and cannot be conducted over meaningful time-scales. As an anecdote to illustrate this, I am significantly more productive and energetic when consuming a single sugary, chocolately coffee, but it would be foolish to conclude over such a short period of time that my personally ideal diet should include sugary coffee. I'm not deluded that this is a healthy practice, however; free sugars, fructose in particular, are demonstrably a major factor in the pathogenesis of lifestyle-related diseases.
I was literally a teacher in a poor school district. I am looking at it from a different perspective, but that doesn't mean my opinion is inherently not valuable. Yes, it might out work great for those kids who can take advantage. But all those who can't are left behind. And actually be left even more behind, especially as all the extra money that would be going to their school flows out. But, hey, they're not your kids right?

Yep, California has raised the bar, and to do so it had to take risks. In particular, it risked looking silly-- and in penis-politics looking silly in front of your opponents is an existential risk. The good news is, some of these risks paid off and became national standards. So, thanks to California, you are poisoned a little less every day.

Speaking personally: fuck you for making fun of that effort!
Is there any reason why something like Svelte couldn't be written in one of the lisply languages? The compiler approach seems definitely like a good fit.
