OK, but web development is an area that jerf would probably classify as "solved".
Firefox on Android.
I don’t think there’s any “official” word on that (the XDG spec that defines ~/.local/share doesn’t mention ~/.local/{bin,lib} IIRC, and the traditional per-user entry in PATH seems to be ~/bin), but a fair number of people use it this way, yes, including me.
Wow how wonderfully geeky romantic.

It would be interesting to see these rates alongside housing costs. Here in Seattle the median house price has tripled in the last 10 years and homelessness has shot up along with it.
The ship is on a geostationary orbit, obviously.
There are many good historical prmarty sources - yes.

No code feels to me like an ORM like django. Conceptually easier but theres a ton of stuff done in the background that as soon as you want anything special you end up in a world of hurt.
Yep. The issue is banks and financial companies using it as a master key.
Agreed. Android 12 was a huge step backwards

I'm wondering if a similar effect couldn't be done using a continuous surface and just silvering it. I saw something similar done with refraction but can't remember the URL now. 3D printers definitely have higher resolution than mirrors of this size.

Not sure what your meaning of disruptive is but I would define "ruins the entire ride" as making the entire car smell like urine and feces. I've also gotten on buses where it is plainly apparent someone peed on the bus floor.
I realized it was unsubstantive. Sometimes I delete the comment and rewrite it, sometimes I decide to write in some extra text. It’s a judgment call which one I do. My thought process is, “Oh, that is a bit too unclear, now that I read it, isn’t it?” If I think it just needs a small clarification, I’ll edit in the clarification. If it needs major clarification, I’ll delete and resubmit.

I don’t always make the right call. I know that. Sometimes a minor addition blows up into a massive chunk of text, because I realize the “minor addition” isn’t enough to make the comment stand on its own, so it needs a “minor” addition, and I make another judgment call. Reminds me of “simple” changes at work that balloon into massive, quarter-long projects. It sneaks up on me. Sentences and paragraphs that look great have a way of seeming woefully deficient once you hit that “submit” button.

I firmly believe that the ephemerality of context is inevitable, and live with it. I understand that this is my personal take on context on HN… is context ephemeral? Or should we do what we can to save it? How much effort do we do to save context in the moment so it can be decided?

My personal strategy of dealing with this is on HN to quote the parent comment if I feel the context is important. On my blog, I don’t just link to web pages, but copy in quotes.

If you feel strongly about this, I would love to hear that elaborated, although I know you’re busy.
That's moving the goalpost. They're removing all negative feedback in public.

And even then, saying they didn't disable the button is only arguably true. The button no longer performs its primary function.
I'm working in hell right now. The current company has the site frontend, backend, and tests in separate repos and it's basically impossible to do anything without force merging because the build is broken without a chicken and egg situation between the 3 pull requests.
I agree 100%... Adding JSX to the language spec would be interesting. It might be too heavy to include within the language spec as many JS applications do not involve the DOM at all, so then you have to essentially bundle DOM functions into every application... or common.js would omit this subset of the language.
I will repeat this every time someone uses “favorable weather” to explain California’s barbaric treatment of its homeless: nobody wants to die of exposure. You can die of expose at temperatures well above what housed people consider “comfortable.” The number of homeless people who would rather stay outside in your “favorable climate” versus being afforded the basic dignity of a roof and room is a rounding error.
Without details about what roles these new administrators are being hired for, it's impossible to say whether this is justified. For example, the quote from the university president suggests the growth is due to hospital staff:

> University President Peter Salovey emphasized that the administrative growth has been proportional with the growth in faculty size and in University revenue. He reiterated that the growth in the Yale School of Medicine’s clinical practice has been a significant and worthwhile cause of the administration’s increased size.

Whereas the reactions in the article and in this thread seem to be focused on other positions.
No, that IS how it scales for range to some extent (where if you just add fuel/battery, you now need to add more power, etc), but it’s NOT how it scales for size. To first order, everything scales linearly. If you doubled the size of the aircraft, you already increased everything to compensate. This works for everything with two caveats:
1) Reynolds number means you get more efficient as you scale up in size. The effect is slight and there is nuance with respect to laminar vs turbulent flow, but it is true.
2) larger size means at some point you need truss braced wings. But this is only at pretty large sizes and only usually if you’re also shooting for high aspect ratio wings. NASA/Boeing/etc have researched truss braced wings, and it is most certainly doable.

But both of these are second order effects. And they mostly cancel out.

I am a materials scientist with a background in physics and I have also developed electric motors for electric aircraft. I have a good understanding of how the systems scale. You were mixing up the exponential range equation with simple size scaling. if it were true, then large aircraft of any type would be much less efficient than smaller aircraft of the same type. This is most certainly not true. In fact, usually the efficiency increases with scale. A 777x is much more efficient than a Gulfstream or some smaller regional jet per passenger mile.
What a way to go to. The book, cowritten with archeologist David Wengrow, ties together so many different developments within archeology and anthropology that are driving some major paradigm shifts. These massively important paradigm shifts have mostly been confined to academia so far and I don't there's been such a broad attempt to tie them altogether like this. Especially not one geared towards the public

This book will undoubtedly change the way we talk about non-industrial peoples and lifestyles for decades to come.

Rest in power, David Graeber
No international trains don't stop in the smaller cities.

To get from Poland to Germany or from Netherlands to UK you have to go to major city. Some towns have luck being on the way of such train and you could benefit from it but it is rather exception than rule.

Which in the end makes it basically the same as getting to the airport for most of the people.
Yeah I never really understood this benefit. The file structure is irrelevant to me after 15 minutes, the nitty-gritty semantics of my code are causing me headaches and bugs forever.

(I like working with all 3 current frontend frameworks btw, not trying to start a flamewar)
Yea, it's hilarious.

"Fight climate change!" -> "Support climate stasis!"

LOL!

To boot, the explanation I heard for that gives insight into the alarmist mentality. I heard that "global warming" was a bad name because every time anyone experienced a cool summer or a hardcore freezing winter, they became convinced that "global warming" was total bullshit. But, the climate alarmists argued, this was silly--climate change and its impacts are felt over decades, half-centuries, looooong periods, and so reading any particular cold summer or brutal winter was just getting mixed up in noise, short-term variance that has no impact on or indication of the trend. But then these same activists turn around immediately and blame every single hurricane and tornado and flood and forest fire and every other natural disaster on climate change, that slow-ass, barely perceptible process that I guess causes very slow bad things, very fast bad things, but has nothing to do whatsoever with mild summers or very cold winters.
The Rollup tool supports that in conjunction with the `preserveModules` option. I've never used it outside of playing around, so can't vouch for it from experience, but yeah it exists. It can also do more of course, like convert to older module formats or the like, but obviously you don't need to use that.

The biggest downside is that even in http2 or http3, bundles can still perform better in terms of lower overall loading times, since individual modules you need to download the first one, and perform at least a bit of parsing to find the other modules statically imported before you can start downloading those, repeat.

Does Docker abstract filesystem behaviors like this? I always thought that it stopped at the libc level - that is, libc is included in the container, but it calls the host kernel's system calls, and so inherits the host kernel's behavior (including things like underlying filesystem case sensitivity).
The many many upstart browsers (including mine) that are eager for Chrome to do something so foolish so we can collect all of their irate users?
These are likely licenses given to Microsoft Partners which are only to be used for developing/testing software. They activate identically to regular keys and there is no indication once activated that that's the only licensed purpose of that key.

“When this book’s de­sign­er came up with the title, Copy This Book, she was play­ing off Ab­bie Hoff­man’s guide to counter-cul­tur­al liv­ing Steal This Book (1971), just like Oakland-based hip-hop band The Coup did with Steal This Album (1998), later joined by Detroit punk rock band The Suicide Machines with Steal This Record (2001) and Armenian-American heavy metal band System of a Down with Steal This Album! (2002). Robert Greenwald made Steal This Movie! (2000) and Paraguay Press pub­lished an artist’s book by Dora Garcia en­titled Steal This Book (2009).”

(Chapter 5.2 on writing)

So she thought of Abbie Hoffman… but when she suggested it my first association was System of a Down as well :)
Wonder how it handles the API rate limits
The fact that VC's didn't invest in that single idea doesn't tell anything about them being risk averse or not.
With shallow checkouts cloning is much quicker. You could try combining it with sparse checkouts too. You can even have Git fetch the full history in the background, and from a quick test you can do stuff like commit while it's fetching. Obviously the limited history means commands like log and blame will be inaccurate until it's done.

$ git clone --depth=1 <url>
$ cd repo
$ git fetch --unshallow &
$ <do work>
Correct. It's inconvenient for the current narrative of getting absolutely everyone vaccinated with a spike protein from a single variant, but the best immunity currently available is naturally-obtained.

Also, mostly unrelated, but the word "sin" has little to do with theism, though maybe that's where it's most commonly used. For example, in archery, a miss is called a "sin". I think it's apt for this concept.
None of this addresses my question—what benefits do you get from having monorepo-with-microservices over a monolithic backend? All of the things you mentioned would be even easier with a monolithic backend.
I live in Denver, like any other metropolitan area there has always been a homeless population. What has been different is since 2016 there has been a staggering growth in the number of tents and so called tent cities. This isn't a problem just downtown either even if it is most visible there. The issue has expanded outside downtown and is filling in vacant properties in suburbia as well. Places like Aurora, almost every open space park, bike paths, bridges, everywhere you can fit a tent is turning into a homeless encampment. The worse part is I feel helpless, I'm making good money and barley able to pay rent. I feel powerless to help even if I could.
I don't agree: Frontpage was definitely a villain.
I only use Pre-Raphaelite browsers.
So you think it's possible this guy married three different women who all said he abused them, and at least one of them also tricked a judge into agreeing?

Which scenario do you think is more likely:

A) A man whose entire career and public persona was dedicated to being an asshole happened to be an actual asshole

B) At least three women loved this guy enough to marry him and then decided to make up stories about how he abused them, convincingly enough that a court of law agreed

Keep in mind that in both scenarios, we know that he did spend all of his most recent wife's money and had a substance abuse problem.
I mean, I don't think the parent post was that substantive either. There is nothing in this submission that necessitates roping in the topic of the metaverse. They could have just left it as they found this tech interesting.
I'm also reminded of https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/10/why-you-hate-contempo...
First thing let’s do is piss off all the lawyers.
Isn't that just basically Rails? It has a (pretty good) built-in ORM, prettified CRUD on any of the tables managed through that ORM and making SQL queries on a cron schedule is possible through Rake tasks, which come preinstalled with the framework.
This is exactly as I'd expect.

If you want a centralized, trunk-based version control, don't use git.

It's funny how each company decides to solve these problems.

Google called in the computer scientists and designed a better centralized vcs for their purposes. Good on them. It'd be great if they open sourced it. So typical of Google to invent their own thing and keep it private.

Microsoft took the most popular vcs (git), and inserted a shim layer to make it compatible with their use case. How expected that Microsoft would build a compatibility shim that attempts to hide complexity from the end user.

Meanwhile, Linux and Git are plugging along just fine, in their own separate repos, even though many people work on both projects.
The main culprit is tax on kerosene. Electricity is also taxed in france.

Kerosene must be taxed because it emits a lot of CO2 per flight.
If it comes in at 10 km/s you'll have about 10 seconds to do that.
Is this bad or surprising? I would hope that the SP500 shows a whole lot more price appreciation than the 10-year Treasuries as there's not a whole lot of increase they can do without going to negative yields. (Tech) companies can start to pay dividends, but for years they have told a growth story re: price appreciation rather than being labeled a "widow and orphans" stock.
Homeless people aren't stupid. They go where they can live. Nobody wants to winter in North Dakota lol.

More money in panhandling too I bet.
JavaScript linters and more specifically the TypeScript type checker are one of things that slow my computer down the most at work. Probably doesn’t help that I have 7 projects open at once, but that’s the nature of working a micro services based code based. Performance absolutely matters for this kind of code.

Many other high levels languages might give you the performance you need, but JavaScript won’t, and not many languages are as nice to use as Rust. So if you have to do it in another language then it’s a good pick.
So to you the only way is to achieve climate... stasis?
Yeah, that's really the one thing I miss from my SVN days. I'm also still using Perforce, which can do even crazier things with workspace mappings.
If you like the idea of writing on paper and then doing digital things with it, I have been really pleased with the RocketBook line of reusable notebooks. They don't do the automatic blog hosting like this, but there's also no recurring fee. Just a simple notebook, a simple phone app, and files that show up in my Google Drive (or DropBox or email or wherever).

It's actually a fairly small change (two new PrimaryExpressions), the spec is here:

No part of JSX uses the DOM, it doesn't share anything with HTML.

The JS engine itself would need the modification.

Also JSX doesn't have to be for the UI, it could be for dialogs for an NPC in a game, for configs, etc.

edit: I agree with @proxyon, I'm really disappointed with HN that this simple fact is downvoted without retort.

The common sentiment here is wrong, JSX is a small extension to the grammar of JS. It is JS.
> an oversupply of homeless shelters that people refuse to use (due to restrictions on substance abuse etc.)

There's a lot hiding in that "etc". Some other reasons people refuse to use (some) shelters:

- shelter is / feels unsafe due to a subset of the sheltered population

- shelter has a curfew that does not allow you to maintain your work schedule

- shelter won't let you bring your child or pet or stuff
I agree that hydrogen in airplanes has some potential, though there are certainly issues - you need cryogenic cooling to avoid super heavy pressure vessels, and if it fails..., but there are similar fuels that could work.

As far as disruption, the issue is that there is no opportunity for competition. Countries are rabidly protectionist about their airplane industries, and any newcomer even with a completely superior product (See: Bombardier C-Series) will get absolutely destroyed by sanctions, tarrifs, or even secondary export controls (Gripen, Avro Arrow, etc...). You cannot succeed unless you are American, and even in America Boeing has massive undue influence.
I use Rust for a lot of things where performance is completely irrelevant. It has a lot of nice features and benefits other than memory safety and performance.
Until interest rates are raised, and then the higher discount rate used to value future cash flows results in a crash of asset prices.

You're underestimating the ruthless disregard most large industrial producers have for the communities where they locate. These companies are led by sociopaths and fools.
We were discussing the installation of these on the Moon as a way to launch spacecraft. A straight rail would be aimed at a fixed point, but a centrifugal launcher could release its payload at any point and send it in any direction (as most interesting destinations in the solar system are on a single plane).
When I hit the limits of git then I will worry about it.

One of our tasks when building the monorepo was proving it was possible to split it again. It was trivial and we have tools to help us avoid complexity.

We’re not using Github so that part doesn’t apply to me.

Also, nice of you to assume we’ll get to Google scale, but thanks to the monorepo, I was able to make a few pull requests reducing duplication and reducing line count of app by thousands ever since. So I really don’t see us getting into Google scale anytime soon. We're downsizing.

I also find it ironic that you’re accusing people of “copying Google” in a parent post but you’re the one assuming that everyone will hit Google limits…
I'm kind of in the exact opposite boat. I've waited for a while to buy one because this laptop is coming, but I still can't buy it in Europe!
> They don't have a safety net to fall back on if that fails.

However many people also start companies without safety nets. Some of them fail and they might have drastic life moments, but in tech you always find some job, in fact your failed startup might be seen even positive by some employers...
Good luck on your rewrite!
> We could honestly skip these checks for no-risk travelers.

How to decide who is a "no-risk traveler" and how do you identify them?
not saying it's not relevant, not expecting ppl to have seen it, but there's discussion there in those threads and it doesn't really need to be re-upped/repeated convos.
Can enjoy it without commenting/upvoting it.

Most commenters here are misunderstanding the paper. This is research on a wireless RF power transfer and low strength magnetic field sensing system for BCI sensors. It is not about BCI sensors itself. This is about wireless power transfer and modulating the reflected signal to broadcast the sensor information. In other words your brain computer interface no longer needs a subdermal battery.
By the standards of the time when even macro assemblers weren't always available and programmers often had to do the translation to machine code manually, it was unlike code. It was even portable!

This feels like the essence of Late-stage capitalism to me. There are a relatively small number of corporate colossuses & they no longer compete to serve the market, they compete to maintain territory that they exploit.
So basically each team has to reinvent devops from the ground up, and staff their own on call rotation, instead of having a centralized devops function that provides a stable platform? That sounds horrendous.

Although, that said, I can at least see the benefits of the "1 service per team" methodology, where you have a dedicated team that's independently responsible for updating their service. I'm more used to associating "microservices" with the model where a single team is managing 5 or 6 interacting services, and the benefits there seem much smaller.
Afaik that went both ways, some private UK companies now run rails in Germany.
Neither JIT nor many other things factors in "global pandemic," but proper JIT that knows how to scale up/down theoretically could handle things, its just the human element that fucks up the system. Yeah beancounters are beancounters but trying to blame JIT is really off course.
This is partially true. Vehicles are needed but most of the computing the modern ones do is completely unnecessary for the primary function and purpose of the vehicle. There is really nothing important I can do with my Tesla that I can’t with my 1980s Ford ranger. There are definitely important things I can do with the old pickup truck that I can’t do in the Tesla. Until we reach a point where the car can legally drive you home from the bar while you are passed out in the back most of the stuff chips are used for in vehicles pretty much is for sales purposes and turns it into a giant smartphone. Add in the whole remote exploit thing about some of the models of different 2000s models with dash computing that never get firmware updates but still have remote network connectivity and it’s actually a pretty shitty idea overall until actual self driving cars are a thing. Before anyone mentions that you can track your car if it’s stolen, it’s important to remember most of the thieves going after new cars will back up to the vehicle with a metal box truck lined with some kind of faraday material then pull your car into it.

Having an electric vehicle doesn’t mean it needs the fastest hardware. You can run the entire base mechanics sensors and outputs of an electric vehicle on an Arduino with some extra breadboards.
It will probably solve simple problems as it will enable "no-coders" to actually do things really without any code with AI-assisted-visual-drag-and-drop "coding". But that doesn't seem like to take off for any serious work soon. It might be a gateway for beginners to perform some simple tasks and to start actual programming by diving in though.
