> Littering? Why is amazon not fined for this?

Asking someone to either throw the items away or keep them is the exact opposite of littering.

> This might actually be something for small claims court. The building can pay to dispose of/deliver the packages and take Amazon to small claims to recover costs.

Since Amazon told them they could keep the stuff or throw it away, they'd have to go to some elaborate lengths to actually suffer damages as a result of what Amazon did.
One of the fields that isn't true is civilian aerospace. Innovation cycles are long, regardless of country, regulations are more or less the same. Nobody only certifies according to EASA or FAA, everyone does both. And with Airbus and Boeing forming a duopoloy on civilian aircraft, both sides have equal interest, and funding, for innovation.

Throw in all the current eVtol start-ups and I don't see that much difference between the US and Europe.
This is a Windows-only issue AFAIK. It's the same reason why people decide to put their projects in something like C:\dev

I've gotten laptops shipped that supposedly had a signature required, but they ended up leaving it at the door anyway. Then the signature on the order shows a misspelled version of my name. I guess it just doesn't matter to them.
Bombardier Aviation was bought by Airbus, Embraer almost by Boeing. Funny enough, there was always a lot more competition in the regional market then for bigger single aisle planes (B737 and A320).

I really dislike sed, awk, and all these utilities because I just can’t remember how to use them. Every time I want to use one of these tools I have to relearn the stuff, and then after a while I forget how to use it. If I don’t use it all the time I just forget. I really don’t think non-interactive CLIs are a good way to do complicated tasks.
I've seen a JSON parser written in a drag'n'drop visual no-code flowchart-like application that was very impressive and, if printed, would have caused the death of many trees. Utterly unmaintainable and horrifically stupid given any full-code solution would have involved using a pre-written library.
Then there's sed -e 'cmd;cmd;cmd' as well.
I've had similar experiences with a building maintenance company. Some guy came into my apartment and completely misused my private property during his work. There was a note left at the building with a phone number left to reach the employee in question - but they didn't actually pick up the phone. I presume that it was because they had already finished work for that day. I just decided to look up the company information and called the CEO, who promised to make it up for me, and did.

As someone bouncing from different addictions of sorts through my life (gambling, some recreational drugs, overwork, compulsive browsing, video games, etc.) - I’ve found that breaking that compulsive browsing habit was fairly easy with good blockers. A lot of it was just kind of a learned habit. I’m bored or tired for a nanosecond, better pull up a stimulating website and get a hit. When I get a boring error page instead I snap out of the craving. I also started on genmay and SA and kept going until this year when I realized I have a problem
> Try taking 1000km trip on a diesel bus once and tell me if that metric matters to anyone.

I did some such trips. Never bothered asking if it was diesel or petrol but whatever. Don't see much difference from a car (in fact it's more convenient than a car cause there's more space).
IIRC, you are not allowed to use a RTX/GTX in a datacentre.
It doesn't help that whatever SDKs they put out, are a joke compared with iOS frameworks.

Just compare the effort to use Vulkan, where they don't provide bindings, point out to some random GitHub repository, and wish us luck.

Also like most stuff presented at IO, SceneForm hardly lasted more than one year.

Meanwhile iOS frameworks are usable from all major platform languages, and even if sometimes buggy, way easier to start than doing your own Vulkan based engine from scratch.

I also use a small keyboard (Keychron K3) even on my desktop, but once in the past when I switched to a full-sized keyboard, I intentionally switched to left-hand mousing since the extra distance is only on the right side (with the numpad).

I was also hoping the switch would help balance out my shoulders after years of right-hand mousing. It took a few days to get used to, but now I'm basically mouse/trackpad ambidextrous. I'm not sure if it helped my shoulder; I think maybe it did, but too many confounding factors.
Amazon can be very weird about deliveries and delivery problems. There's a distinct tendency for orders that are particularly good deals to just not show up. Also one time I forgot to ship a fairly expensive return item and eventually I just got an email saying "your return has been received and your refund processed."

Super nice to extend their oss-fuzz services to everybody. I'm already using oss-fuzz, but will add this to my GitHub actions for many other projects of mine. You just need to be able to compile your C project with clang++. oss-fuzz has more fuzzers, but libfuzzer is good enough.
I read it as: Svelte is faster in theory, but since people write bad Svelte code, it is slower than the React code the same developers would write.

My interpretation is that this can be attributed to either svelte being hard to write, or people being used to React. Both of which are a challenge to companies looking to switch to Svelte.

Well, JSX syntax isn't JS either. And hooks semantics is not JS.

Learning new syntax is easy but we should consider how much the new semantics cause mistakes and to what extent they are incompatible with tools such as linters.

> The customers will tell Amazon they never received the items. Amazon will replace them free.

Why does this remind me of that old Firefly episode where they steal the medicine from the Alliance hospital. They justify that "the Alliance will have it replaced by the end of the day".
I have never (hundreds, maybe even 1000+ deliveries) had to sign for an Amazon purchase. The only thing I can recall signing for, from any vendor, in the past 10 years was my wine club shipments and that's only been 50/50 since Covid.
The Hook with sites like Reddit, HN, etc is that they ARE addictive. Actually addictive in the sense of gambling. In gambling addiction the gamblers aren't addicted to winning, they are addicted to losing, or "almost winning". Now if they never ever won the addiction wouldn't form. If they ALWAYS won the addiction also wouldn't form.

The old thing was email that people were addicted to checking because you MIGHT get an interesting email. It's the same way with training a dog. You don't always give them a treat for behavior. If you only randomly give them a treat they are more likely to perform the behavior because they don't want to miss the reward. If they know they will get the reward then they know the exact opportunity cost and can weigh that against performing the behavior.

That's how social media and more specifically sites like reddit and HN are addictive.

I think we all feel that we occasionally get some beneficial information from them. I know I do, and even this very post I feel has some benefit. But we also see it as time wasting because the majority of the time, that's what it is.

But we are compelled to continually check because of the fear of missing out on some piece of beneficial information. If we were always presented with good information then we could more easily delay checking the sites.

> This is Amazon/Bezos' fault, not the driver's.

You sure this is only Amazon, and not also USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc?

I'd sooner blame your apartment complex than delivery companies.

Anecdotally, I've had so few problems with delivery drivers, that I can't recall specific examples.

On the other hand, the amount of lousy experiences with apartment complex management companies and their policies would fill a long twitter thread.

For example, ordered computer equipment from Newegg. It was delivered to my apartment complex mail room, which closed at 5pm. I left work early to pick it up, only to find out that the staff had closed down and went home early (4:45p).
Try to have the delivery company take it to the correct address? Unless amzn was the delivery company. Call the recipient? Keeping it sounds like it should be lower on the list.

If we have such trustworthy markets and competition, then how the hell did we end up with React and Angular, huh?

Ayn Rand sucks at software design, as much as she sucks at philosophy and economics and social design and writing. Your trust in her is certainly misplaced.

Anyway, why do you have such a huge problem with Rich acting in his own best self interest, that you found a need to personally attack him so viciously and often as you did in this discussion for all that he's done for himself and the Svelte community?

Don't you believe the invisible hand of the market, which you trust so much, will prosecute your vengeance on Rich, who you find so untrustworthy?
@dang this is a pathetic response. HN encourages garbage comments and posts, but doesn't allow anyone to follow up. You think you're creating a safe space for discussion, but really you're creating an echo chamber of bad information.

The harm that bad information causes is incalculable, so no, I won't stop commenting on stupid posts. Perhaps you need to evaluate your responsibility to the world at large, and your role in supporting disinformation.

First, I'd love to see the data to support that. It's hard to imagine a single professional doesn't rent first and goes straight to buying a condo, especially in the North America where people generally move out at 18.

Second, if they're buying a condo versus paying rent, that's still good because it leaves less price elastic renters in the market. You can to get those who are willing to pay much more into something higher end versus them taking the bottom and increasing its price (which is what's happened in SF).
> David Friedberg argued on the all in podcast that a 25 square-mile areal of these would be enough to capture all CO2 currently in the atmosphere.

I felt like napkin mathing it, and even a cursory check completely obliterates that claim. Adding 1 ppm (volumetrically) of CO2 to the atmosphere is about 2 Gt of CO2, and we're at about 400 ppm. Carbon is 27% by mass. Monocrystalline diamond is 3.5 g/cm3. This makes a prism with the specified base 1km high. Talk about a ring.

The linked article seems to indicate that the researchers are also much more conservative with their claims than Freidberg, and state their technology is about 8x more efficient at capture than corn. Very cool, but nowhere near that sort of magnitude, as 8x that area would be only a fraction of the farmland in the continental US alone (by a factor of 1000).

California's coastal metro areas are expensive due to high demand caused by its job market combined with artificial restrictions on supply. There is plenty of room for the Bay Area (and Los Angeles for that matter) to densify. The reason why these areas aren't densifying are largely political. It is politically easier to offload housing construction to Central Valley and thus promote urban sprawl than it is to densify the Bay Area.

Tokyo and its suburbs are a great example of how densification could work. Roughly a quarter of Japan's residents live in the Kanto region of Japan where Tokyo and its suburbs are located. While the inner core of Tokyo is quite expensive, there are many affordably-priced neighborhoods just 30 minutes away from Tokyo via normal commuter trains. Even with Japan's falling population, Tokyo's population has been growing before the pandemic due to population drain from Japan's rural areas. It seems that Tokyo is better able to accommodate its demand than the Bay Area; there are very few people commuting 60 miles into Tokyo.
It just draws a very small circle for me. The only part that seems suspect is the casualties estimate:

> Estimated fatalities: 6,010

> Estimated injuries: 8,060

> In any given 24-hour period, there are on average 28,743 people in the light (1 psi) blast range of the simulated detonation.

vs. a Davy Crockett in the same location:

> Estimated fatalities: 4,130

> Estimated injuries: 2,790

> In any given 24-hour period, there are on average 12,248 people in the light (1 psi) blast range of the simulated detonation.
Leave them alone. I'm an adult. I can handle my own discussions. Nobody needs you to protect them.
> Now I just write markdown files and store them in a hierarchical folder structure (never more than three folders deep!).

I do the same, except that I use Emacs org mode. This gives me (other than highlighting):

1. Clickable hyperlinks (linking to the same document, linking to another org file, linking to any other file and linking to a URL).

2. Pretty export options (my entire blog is just a collection of org files exported to html, some technical documents are exported to LaTeX/pdf).

3. Text diagrams using the graphviz dot language.

4. Builtin history management and versioning using magit (of course this is all stored in Git :))

5. Nice formatting in emacs - parent checkboxes are automatically calculated and filled when children items are filled in, M-q nicely formats paragraphs, Sections and subsections are easily folded/unfolded by my simply hitting tab while the cursor is on the heading, tables are incredibly easy to create and modify, (sub)sections are movable without needing to copy and paste, etc

6. Items in a tasklist can easily be cycled between various states (TODO -> RESEARCHING -> IN-PROGRESS -> DONE) with custom states being specified at the top of the file..

100% - Common guys we are programmers in a field that is know for changing consistently (probably a lot faster than other careers). If you see learning new "syntax" for the basics (loops,conditionals etc) then you going to have problems down the road. Weather you use svelte, or some other new tech. If you really never want to learn another syntax.. learn LISP and be done with it.

You are a programmer, you will need to learn new syntax a few times in your career.

If some of the "biggest" complaints are "oh no I have to learn how to write for-loops again" - I guess svelte is doing the important stuff right.

Wayyyy back in the day(ok not that long ago - 80/90's) when I was learning a new lang (Pascal,C, C++) I used to tell myself If I can get an working example of:

1) "user-input (readline,scanf etc)"

2) "printing input/output"

3) "calling functions/procedures"

4) "Do the loops + conditionals"

5) "file I/O"

6) "Memory schematics"

You basically mastered the "building blocks/mrk(min-req-knowledge)" of the new lang and like maths you only need now practice or a good project.

TL;DR
If you are a professional-career-programmer, learning "new syntax (we used to call them keywords)" is a requirement.

In the second chapter of his book the writers already discuss heavily this noble savage myth and deconstruct it. I really recommend the book, it's an amazing read.

“The racist denigration of the savage, and naive celebration of savage innocence, are always treated as two sides of the same imperialist coin.56 Yet originally this was an explicitly right-wing position, as explained by Ter Ellingson, the contemporary anthropologist who has reviewed the subject most comprehensively. Ellingson concluded there never was a ‘noble savage’ myth; at least not in the sense of a stereotype of simple societies living in an age of happy primordial innocence. Rather, travellers’ accounts tend to supply a much more ambivalent picture, describing alien societies as a complicated, sometimes (to them) incoherent, mix of virtues and vices. What needs to be investigated, instead, might better be called the ‘myth of the myth of the noble savage’: why is it that certain Europeans began attributing such a naive position to others?”

The constraint on OUIGO trains is because tickets have to be checked before onboarding. So you have hundreds of passengers to check in line. This takes time. So people are required to come earlier.

However in practice most people respect the 30 minutes, so that you can arrive 10min before the train and get your ticket checked without waiting in line. This is not guaranteed. But often works. I take a lot of OUIGO and never respect the 30 min, because you often wait 10min in line. Once I arrived 5min before departure, had my ticket checked but had to run in front of the correct car. When train arrives nobody is allowed to pass the checkpoint.

For the InOui you can always come 5min before departure, because tickets are checked on-board so there is no wait line.
