Hey HN, I'm a bit of a tourist here, but I wanted to add my 2 cents from the perspective of a technical person from a non-traditional background.

I started using Plasmic in August 2020, mostly because of my frustration with existing "no-code" tools.

I'm a designer, and I wanted something professional that allowed me to use my existing skills to develop my own applications. In real code. I wanted to participate with engineers in the development process and be able to translate my ideas into something that could turn into something if it took off.

Plasmic got a newb like me up and running on a Sunday afternoon.

They have one of the best onboarding "games" called Plasmic levels which teaches you how to visually create fully functional, albeit "presentational" react components-- So anyone with a basic design background can create react, or Nextjs app that can be deployed anywhere.

I cant really cram as much as I want into this humble review, but I highly recommend you investigate your skepticism and check it out. It will shave months off your development time and give your team an intuitive way to collaborate and ship waaaay faster.

I started a project that is the high quality alternative to Upwork. It's an advanced ecommerce application with embedded financial services. If I hadn't discovered plasmic I'm not sure I would have been able to make this on my own.
Thanks, but I feel that the benefit of thin columns only really comes when you can keep many of them on the page at once.
There's a third option:

The market clearing price has increased, but sellers refuse (or are banned) from increasing their prices. That way leads to queues and shortages.

Of course, in the opposite direction you get inventory piling up (or unemployed people).

Thank you so much for this industry info. When you design, do you think that Shenzhen is the best in terms of innovation in microchips? They have very interesting random chips that are undocumented, underground, and seemingly random, like the ESP8266 being used in some consumer goods, people noted it, hacked it to run custom software, its essentially a cheaper more powerful and higher energy usage arduino type reprogrammable chip with wifi built in, the company later released an SDK and aruduino studio was also ported.
I don't know if there are some wafer that cannot have any defects in them, camera sensors come to mind.
> If you abdicate that responsibility and assume that "someone up there" will take care of you, you'll be bitten. It sucks, but it's reality.

Even if that “you” is a poor, less literate, possibly descendant of slaves, whose communities are poorer for obvious reasons and have to work multiple low wage jobs with low income security because cheaper labor from other countries outcompeted you on the price of labor and environmental externalities.

Then we find out how much of a “we” we really are.

It's always felt to me like, "Oh you want to learn to cook? Great!" This is a pickaxe. I want you to mine some iron slag out of this vein.

"What does this have to do with cooking?"

"Well, you want to use a knife to cut your vegetables don't you? How on earth do you expect to get a knife to cut your vegetables if you don't mine for iron slag, refine it, build a forge, learn blacksmithing, make thousands of inferior and useless knives until by trial and error you finally have a knife you can cut vegetables with!"

"Ok, so once that is done then I can be a cook, right?"

"What? are you a fucking moron? Look at this asshole who thinks he can be a chef if he knows how to make a knife! What an idiot! You need a pot and a pan and a kitchen, but to get a kitchen you need a house and to get a house you have to buy the land and then to get the food you have to learn agriculture and animal husbandry, woodworking, stone-masonry, how to quarry, political intrigue, bartering, build a working economy you and 7 other people can all agree on using..."

It isn't that difficult. All I really needed was a problem and a line on the tools I needed to solve them. All the other stuff may make me competent should I need to rebuild the world's technology stack from the ground up a.k.a Dr. Stone but it never earned me a dime of income of served the most basic of purposes in attempting to dissuade me from a computer career.

The degree doesn't really matter in my experience, but college is still a great way to widen your worldview.

Small-scale analysis and the ‘teapot effect’ at large Reynolds numbers
You're on to something here I think - your employer probably wouldn't have given you a massive raise had they not seen the light at the end of the tunnel. The problems, as I understand them, can be made more temporary if the right incentives were in place, and the wrong ones removed. Yes we are in a hole right now but it's not really that bad. A backlog at the ports, driver shortages, and warehousing issues __should__ be easily fixed.

However, the longer this lasts the harder it's going to be to get out of this hole because we really should be focusing more on the long term consequences and decisions. If anything this time has proven that some links in our supply chain are fragile. How that's fixed is a mixture of business changes, technology changes, and political changes, but they must be fixed. This time has also shown that there aren't enough leaders willing to take responsibility and fix the problem. I'd love for a Gates/Musk/Bezos to step up and offer help to the governments that want it. I'd love for the US government to actually get some input from people that run real businesses too.

I think what you're missing is that China isn't even out of the first inning on this one.

Domestic banks were not allowed to hold USD deposits (because that would have meant export earnings leaked into the Chinese money supply and the RMB would have risen), so when an exporter deposited earnings with them, they would take the dollars to the PBOC who would issue them with an interest-bearing note.

Around 2017/18, the PBOC stopped doing this and allowed domestic banks to retain and invest the dollar earnings that exporters deposited. China's money supply is not directly related to the US money supply. China's capital account is still closed. All that has changed is that the onshore dollar market has increased (the PBOC retains a huge amount of control over lending decisions, Chinese state banks are not investing in US markets, it is being retained in China).
It is harder(less efficient) than moving away from the sun using a solar sail, somewhat similar to sailing into the wind.[1]

I don't have the exact numbers but roughly 9.08 μN/m2 is the radiation pressure @ 1 AU and depending on sail configuration (Square/Lattice etc) we can expect a λ ~ 0.25 , with a 800m2 and 5g/m2 density sail we can get effective acceleration around 1 mm/sec2, so you can reach near the sun in few(<10) years ignoring efficiency losses due to quartering and any payload weight etc.

In a real system you could speed this up a bit by using powerful lasers to improve acceleration and orbital methods like a cycler, but meaningful payload size would make it slower too.

The basic metric is that escape velocity of solar system is 30km/s earth starts you at 18km/s : it is easier to add 12 than drop by 18. You can do the same things at 2/3 delta-v budget and push your payload out of the solar system than into the sun.

[1] All orbits decay and eventually(10^150+ years) even the Earth will fall into sun ( or equivalent mass white drawf) so yes it is always possible

> But I can't argue with the money so I put my body through hell to get there.

lol - truth. Sadly - my wife became my ex-wife over it. She wanted the $3m house but without the husband having to grind for it. :( (Of course - she didn't work)
I understand this. To be clear, I'm willing to use GPS. I'm willing to carry a cellphone. I'm even willing to use those things in conjunction when I choose to put a battery in and turn mobile data on and location on. If there were a car with a built-in GPS that didn't have cellular reception, I would get it. (I used to use a TomTom).

But I won't buy a car where those things are integrated and can't be turned off. Several people here seem to assume that I don't understand that almost all cars from the past decade have this capability.

It's one reason I drive a car from 1980, with basically no electronics whatsoever. (Other reasons being: it's more fun, it's simple to repair, and it will still run after an EMP).
In 2017 had a broken knee, hand, and ribs. Lived on the fourth floor of a building with no elevator. Only left to go to physical therapy, and took me a half hour to scoot down the stairs to the sidewalk. When Uber drivers saw me in my braces and crutches they'd drive off - and it makes you feel like shit when you already can barely move, then something like that happens.

Lyft drivers, as I learned, were trained to help disabled people get into the car and were just so obscenely kinds about the whole ordeal. Getting back up the stairs was about an hour long process. Early on had at least 5 Lyft drivers turn off their pickups and help me get back to my apartment.

When you're in a state of limited mobility and vulnerability like that, that kind of kindness is unimaginably appreciated. But it's a culture thing, even if the drivers are just "gig" workers - whatever Lyft was doing brought about folks that'd help you get laid down and comfortable in the back seat, and sometimes, without request, insist they help you up the stairs even if it took them nearly an hour.

I was cash strapped at the time and gave the most generous tips I could, but most folks refused it. It's just wild that whatever top-level edicts were at Uber versus Lyft, the level of compassion displayed varied so much.
Government just passed $7.5 billion for charging network. There's probably more to come. SUperchargers are definitely an advantage, but how long until electric charging stations are everywhere?
Ukraine continues to have foreign economic and military aid, while Russia continues to have economic sanctions due to its actions in Ukraine. Just because one country is stronger than another, isn’t the sole deciding factor, but the ability to assert your claims as a matter of fact, rather than law, is certainly key.

The Republic of Minerva, was not a state, because no one cared when Tonga claimed it.

Conversely, Taiwan is a state, even with its bizarre legal status, as it has well defined borders, and de facto foreign recognition and military alliances.
This is a first person recollection of a nine year old girl's experience surviving two revolutionary civil wars and a genocide. Not incidentally, the sentiments you express were the precise sentiments weaponised to fuel and justify this bloodbath.

Stopping at paragraph one to "yeah but she's a bouge...." is a mark of zealotry.

As to "sightedness," which I take as meaning obligatory mentions of class issues, imperialism and foreign cultural influences... it's sprinkled liberally throughout the piece. Even the title. The "softness" she's talking about is bourgeois softness, compared to peasants who had been living almost as hard before.

Here's one passage: "It would be tempting to affect a survivor’s bravado, as if I had achieved my continued existence through will and wit. But my chief survival advantage was being born to a family that could afford to fly to Saigon. We used our dwindling gold to flee to a place where wearing eyeglasses did not put our lives in immediate danger."

I suspect this does not suffice, given my first paragraph. This is not an essay about how capitalist greed and imperialist arrogance are the ultimate culprits. This is a story where ideological zealots play the roles of crusader, conquistador and slaver.

The willful element is turning the story around. Capitalism and Imperialism the root cause, even if the actual atrocities were committed by anticapitalist anti-imperialists. This is always true and if it isn't, just "dig deeper" and find that it is true. That sounds like willful zealotry to me.

It's equivalent to blaming the caliphate for the inquisition, berating a muslim or jewish victim for blindness to the true underlying cause... Also, refusing to read something because it doesn't start with a declaration that ideologically conforms to your position is willful.

> I'm sure that the FBI is probably pretty okay with "we only catch the people who ever, in a single instance, forget to filter their images through this program that fools the filters" since that's probably like 99% of all people.

Then why bother with the false-positive-risk inducing neuralhash to being with? Compute the sha256 sum of the decompressed image pixels and use that... at that point a false positive is a successful attack on sha256.

The only downside is that trivial image modification will make the hash not match, but that's also true for the perceptual hashes... just with a slightly more complicated definition of trivial. It will be equally effective against the idiot-pervert -- arguably more effective because there would be a lot less reason for people oppose the deployment of such a scheme.

Using a cryptographic hash would make the software vastly simpler, vastly faster, and effectively eliminate a whole host of privacy attacks.

They could then go further and stop using the cryptographic obfuscation that protects apple against accountability for the content of the database-- just make the database the cleartext sha256 hashes. Doing this would substantially address a whole host of other privacy concerns and would make the system radically simpler and less cpu hungry.

They can't do that with the neuralhash because of how trivial it is to modify images to match target hashes... but after switching to a cryptographic hash they certainly could. (Well, could except the database providers know their database contains a lot of lawful content and are extremely aggressive at preventing the lists of hashes from getting out).
Just dont go to their stupid MMORPG. Someone offering a dumb product is not dystopian.

In a world where actual dystopian things get announced and progressed every day, fretting over a social media company's imagined and voluntary offering seems like a waste of energy.
Is it possible for developer to make canvas accessible? For example, pronounce "You are one the road that goes from left to right, there is a shop on your top and a inn on bottom" like mud.
I disagree that it's useless. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been effective despite not being implemented yet. The announcement of an impending threat of scanning probably managed to get most CSAM afficinados to swear off iCloud already.

So the idea is that mass surveillance is great even if it's effect is scaring criminals while it actually only catches people at random?

We've arrived at the opposite of the common reprise of law. No longer "It is Better that Ten Guilty Persons Go Free Than that One Innocent Person be Convicted" but "It is better that Ten Innocent Persons Be Dragooned Than that One Guilty Person Go Free"
> Pol Pot and his government was responsible for the death of 1/4 Cambodian population in a short amount of time

I always found arguments that makes the point that "X is responsible for more deaths than Y" weak and invalid when they fail to mention the time frame.
I think it should be dismissed.

Criminal lawsuits should be allowed to go forward.

Go’s package and dependency system is actually the only reason I have never started using it more. The lack of true versioning, unspoken assumption of GitHub, package system, and all of the confusion between god mod, go get, go install, etc. just hurts my brain. I think Rust actually has this perfect. It’s clear. You just specify the name and version and features in the Cargo.toml file and it is pulled from crates.io. No installation-time execution either.

As far as binaries, I think Rust beats it out here too. Take path separators for example. It’s completely possible to have a binary in Go that uses the entirely wrong path separators for the OS. Rust forces you to handle this.
Fascinating. I've never heard of someone moving abroad because they were conservative. HN frowns on political discussion but have you written anything on the subject?
Australia has tremendous (ludicrous) incentives for being a homeowner, far, far beyond America's tax credits.

Exactly: it seems like a classic “Worse is better” situation where JPEG 2000 is basically better across the board on features but none of that mattered as much as being widespread and fast enough. Something like TIFF or BMP wouldn't have been able to do the same since the file sizes are so much larger that they'd have had a noticeable impact on usability but JPEG was far over the “good enough” bar for most users.
But you are attributing a specific reason for upvoting to a group of disparate people's based on... nothing?
You think that people upvoting this are doing it because they are edgy or find it romantic, while you went to see it for a noble reason.

This is BS. People upvote this for many reason that you have no idea about. I personally find capsule hotels a weird but socially interesting thing. I have 0 interest in going into one, and find them the opposite of romantic, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting.

What I personally find edgy is your gatekeeping about an absolutely anodine thing.
Amazon famously has (or had?) something like negative inventory on the books. To be more technical, it's negative working capital, or negative cash conversion cycle.

That's because in whole-sale you typically have something like 90 days to pay your bills. But Amazon sells its inventory on to retail customers (who up front) before those 90 days are up.

Now, if I describe it as 'negative working capital' it sounds like some desirable thing. But the flip side is that you can also describe it more mundanely as: Amazon gets loans from its suppliers.
Firefox is the first result for me on Windows 11.
Seems like store search isn't solved properly anywhere because a query for 'macos' on the App Store shows macOS Monterey as 15th under loads of spammy stuff. Even 'Kaka' is above it! :) https://twitter.com/iBoostUp/status/1457728087525789699
Surprised it's held on this long.
I agree, though I might even go further?

My controversial take (as someone who ran a very popular software market for a decade myself, which notably didn't do what I am saying, though was effectively handicapped in its search for other reasons): they simply shouldn't have search or discovery of their own, as it is going to be some opportunity for the moral equivalent of a TOCTUO "parser differential" security issue that leads to malware.

If a user goes to Firefox's website and thinks they want to install Firefox, they shouldn't then go to an App Store to search for it and hope they find the same product: it should be essentially forced by the flow that users use direct links--which the user could get from any process, including offline mechanisms--to specific and individual products to install software, rather than assuming the store's search is of high enough quality to help the user not get phished.

But at least only having the somewhat-manually-browsed sections with highly-curated content (to be clear, in the UI as lists from the store developer, not the ability to install things on the device at all or even potentially from the store: you can have content that people can install that isn't in your curated lists) makes it very difficult to use the store itself to phish people.
Is there similar data for other countries for comparison?
I'm not sure. Reddit, Hacker News, etc. all offer ways for content to be downvoted. This allows for user moderation, which has pros and cons, but seems to work better against disinformation than platforms like Facebook which only allow "likes."
Definitely a little bit messy, but it seems to work.

Usually I stick to my MacBook Pro M1 and am not too fond of Hackintosh stuff, but I wanted to run a macOS VM on my Linux desktop and tried out the OP link. The install was a bit slow so I went for a walk. When I came back the screen of the VM was black. But after rebooting it, and selecting the volume where I installed macOS, it booted into macOS. That's what I mean by messy, since it may appear to not work when you come back to that black screen, but seems to work because it did boot fine when restarting the VM after.

Later, while it was running, the VM appeared to have hung. I have now turned off screensaver inside my VM and disabled power saving for the "display", and maybe that will make a difference.

Also, using MacVLAN and following the instructions loosely from https://www.furorteutonicus.eu/2013/08/04/enabling-host-gues... I now have the VM connected to the LAN and reachable both from the host machine and from other machines on the LAN.
The implementation of the leftist utopian visions that torture and murder and silence and "re-educate" millions and send millions more desperate refugees fleeing out to die at sea in little, overloaded boats trying to escape is not usually described as "liberation" by those, such as my family and many friends, who managed to survive these visionaries.
