It's funny watching the inflation in the price of a cup of coffee in tech marketing vs the real world.
The problem with each of these frameworks is that they make the mistake of surfacing the underlying standards like HTML and the DOM. This is why they look remarkably similar and can only possibly be incrementally better, at best.

HTML and the DOM are still essentially modeled on static documents. Building apps that deal directly with these standards is an impedance mismatch that, remarkably, people keep trying to solve by adhering to those same standards, but in a slightly different way.

Why should we know or care about HTML or the DOM?

A robust, event-driven, component-based framework that manages the low level Web standards could offer true advancement.
We have used Svelte for a major internal project and it has been an absolute joy to work with.

This is really exciting news.
This seems true until one can generate code based on descriptions like GH Copilot can do. That’s a step towards structurally capable.
Considering that some will simply refuse to work on a glossy display (and I guess such "some" largely overlaps with their intended potential market), and that the whole purpose of the product is modularity, they will have to realize that they currently are losing an important slice of market - they are severely slashing their base.
Stablecoins: Background and Policy Issues
At least for most Linux systems (not sure about other *nix, but I expect the same?), there is a system default encoding, defined by the locale, and I think decoding the filename in that encoding and displaying the resulting string, is probably the correct way to display a filename? That seems as good as you are likely to get on any system really.

I think for any POSIX system, either there is locale support defining the encoding, or it uses the POSIX locale, which defines the encoding (ASCII).

Of course you need to handle cases where filenames cannot be decoded in the system encoding (probably by replacing characters that cannot be decoded), because a filename in a different encoding, or even with no valid encoding, has been used on disk. While systems can say that file names containing bytes that are not valid characters in the system's encoding are not valid file names, that doesn't stop people mounting disks with them, so the problem never goes away if you support opening media from other systems.

What I am saying is that this is no more a Unix problem than it is a problem on any system that supports removable media.
It's also ferns and moss that can't grow in direct sunlight and high temperatures (120+F ground under sunlight). You'll see this phenomenon even in areas where there's little or no snowpack, e.g. the Diablo range in California.
Interesting! Feels similar to CloudQuery[1] which is also open source.

And yet Wolenski, Fauci, the CDC, continue to "reccommend" people get vaccinated regardless of natural immunity and refused to answer the senate on whether they think those with natural immunity should be exempt from vaccine mandates.
Svelte is really great. It really needs this boost in cash to polish the rough edges and improve tooling etc.
I’d add that most people here who are hating on the syntax didn’t go to check what svelte is actually about. I say that even though I work with React professionally

This is on our roadmap! Slotted for release sometime in the next month.
Definitely. As an example, say you walk in your neighborhood to the transit station. A single encounter with someone with a mental health issue will be enough to give you the impression that things are worse than they are. One isolated instance of feeling unsafe had an outsized impact on how you feel about the neighborhood in general. It’s just human!

And unfortunately, in west coast cities, it’s not even that isolated. If there is a camp near-ish your neighborhood for some time, there will be a lot of instances. And as you go into the city, the more dense “downtown” parts are areas where people might not live all the time, but a lot of different people do experience them frequently, and a lot of homeless people may be there too. So thousands of people might get a subconscious feeling of being unsafe, just from a small number of people who might not even be acting in unsafe ways.

That’s why people see it as a crisis: a lot of people in west coast cities feel increasingly unsafe. That’s partly founded (because violent crimes are increasing), and partly unfounded (just someone’s impression of a different person they aren’t comfortable around). So there is a huge emotional response.
Well, I'm frugal by nature, have six kids, and hope to retire some day. I'll spent $500 Cdn on a car repair (when necessary) but think twice for $15 eating out by myself. $40 for an application I want is a hard one for me -- it has to provide a clear value that I can't reasonably substitute for.
Boosters will be required every 6 months unless new vaccines are invented, so I don’t think you can compare them.
That doesn’t answer the question. I’m not opposed to building more shelter space. But what do you do with the people who don’t want to stay there?

Do you make it non-optional? Do you just accept that there will always be some people living on the street? At what point can a camping ban in public parks be reinstated and enforced? Can it ever be? Should it?
Is it false though? If it’s true, then maybe we need to look at why it’s true.

It’s not just front end developers though. I think other domains and their frameworks went through the same thing. This is just the time for front end.
> Let's clear that up, make it: 1289 * 689

And if my goal is to figure out if a student has mastery of standard multiplication algorithms, I can take that 1289 * 689 question and flip the digits around have have an equivalent question -- 1688 * 986 will serve just fine. The algorithms aren't secret, and multiplication being on the test shouldn't be a secret.

> And if they've already seen the question they know which procedure to use, and you're no longer testing "should be able to select".

If you teach 8th grade physics, you pretty quickly build a library of all the standard inclined plane problems. If you need to give someone a make-up or repeat test, you grab some from tests that you've given in past years that have not been problematic, and switch a number or two.
Assuming that higher energy-density batteries are possible is an extremely big ask. Yet somehow, plane companies are valued as if there is a commercial business case. I think long-range (over 2000 km), big airplanes are as far away as fusion power plants. Maybe even further, as fusion does not require any theoretical breakthroughs. You don't see big valuations for companies purporting fusion power generators, but for some reason, you do for electric planes..
I have spent my entire life around the homeless, in a city that has a universal shelter mandate. I’ve also spent the better part of a decade volunteering in food pantries and community kitchens.

> A lot of people are severely mentally unwell and do not want shelter.

No. What they don’t want is to be corralled like livestock into shared living spaces, with no privacy or protection for their property. That’s not because they’re mentally ill; it’s because it’s degrading. Give mentally ill people the choice of dignity and they will overwhelmingly choose it.
Life is unfair and realistically we may never be able to fix that. But we can stop doing this that are making it blatantly more unfair than it has to be.

Analogies with surgeons are nonsensical. With surgeons and surgeries we're talking about people who consensually opt in to a field where there's very good reason to have extreme filters in place to screen out anyone who isn't the best of the best.

But we're not talking about surgeons entrusted with peoples lives on a daily basis, ffs, we're talking about school children who are subjected to (whether they want to be in it or not) an unjust "grading" system that only highlights and perpetuates their "underperformance"...

It also raises the question, how many kids who would otherwise have made excellent surgeons never get a chance because they're filtered out from an early age?
Espressif also commits to 8 years exactly because they want to capture lazy manufacturers.

Many - possibly even most - sex workers do it because they like it.

Have you actually talked to sex workers?

It's super common to lament what sex work says about society bla bla bla but never even listen to the women themselves.

Maybe many women love showing off their bodies and making friends and money and maybe many men like seeing naked women and talking to them and maybe there's absolutely nothing wrong with any of this.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis has been effectively disproven; it was proven that it's equivalent to P=NP, and it's very unlikely that P=NP. In other words, if markets were efficient, we could just use simulated markets to solve NP-hard problems in polynomial time. Not surprisingly, that doesn't work.
Docker relies on LXC, so it's Linux-only. On other platforms it runs in a Linux VM. The host for Docker, then, is Linux no matter where you are.

what about the kids who, instead of doing the homework, have to do actual minimum wage work and house chores and help raise their siblings? They probably put in a lot more work than you, but it doesn't show in their grades.
Not quite sure you need that much silver. You need some filler between the silver layer and the crude plastic surface to get the silvering smooth, but that filler doesn't necessarily need to be silver. As for the resolution, I'm judging it from this picture: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bencbartlett/3D-printed-mi... - there seems to be almost two orders of magnitude of a difference between the size of a flat mirror and the size of the "printing step".
If you ask yourself where the money comes from, who gets to decides to spend it, and how much fun the police had playing with their toys, it all seems to make good sense.
Property taxes and maintenance costs are not, however.

Most mortgages in most parts of the world aren't long term fixed rate. Same is true of student debt and credit card debt.
The best part being if you don't allow it to get online during the initial setup you can go change all the personalization settings. It will only lock you out once you get online and it verifies its not activated. I can deal with just having that watermark when I only boot into win10 for a few specific programs.

The thing is that the chemical effects involved at the altitude airline planes fly is way more greenhouse impactful that the same consumption for a car, so you can’t compare that way. Also, trains are way better than this. French trains drive you around on nuclear energy.
I feel devastated hearing this. Whatever was happening in his personal life, its none of my business, but he was a true innovator.

Also reading the message from his ex really angers me. A man was so broken he took his own life, and she's concerned about the 350 dollars a month hes not giving her. It's gross.

Like seriously a man she once loved killed himself and her reaction is like "he should've payed up"

not sure what the solution to that is.
There's also nothing wrong with leaving "savepoints" type commits in a branch. Sometimes "I stopped here and took a break" is still useful information to have later on.

Git provides a DAG and you can use a --no-ff merge to build your "version commit" from the sub history of its "savepoints". You can follow one parent of the merge to the next "version commit" or you can follow the other parent through the intermediate "savepoints" that built it step by step.

You can use --first-parent today for most git operations to get "clean views" no matter how complex the DAG web is beyond it. I think a lot of these debates would "go away" if more people and user interfaces defaulted to --first-parent and "drill down" navigation rather than firehose of the complete graph and confusing (but pretty) "subway diagrams".
Maybe there is the thing that hardly any hydrogen is created from non-fossil sources.

Given the challenge of bringing enough green electricity online, producing enough green hydrogen for industry, it is extremely unclear how we can afford to waste a lot of green electricity in producing green hydrogen for cars.

Of course, by the time customers find out about the price difference they will dump their FCEV cars.

So at the moment, hydrogen is produced from methane. And indirectly produces as much CO2 as ICE cars.

Due to their enormous efficiency, BEV cars can indirectly produce less CO2 even is electricy is generated from fossile fuels. And with enough nuclear, wind or solar, CO2 can be a lot less.
> They go really, really fast, for sustained periods of time

Not really. The various e-bike classes all have assist cutoff speeds which are lower than what one can pedal a regular road bike, so e-bikes aren't any faster. It just takes less effort and sweat to keep the speed, but the actual speed isn't higher.
Seriously, can it get much better than this?
Agree, and it’s nice to see this worn-out trope getting downvoted for once. Sneering at JS / Frontend developers is one of the more distasteful tendencies of HN.
When Humans Became Human
This is one of those feral motorcyclist myths (another one is "loud pipes save lives"). It's just a weird meme that there's some critical point at which it is optimal to throw your bike down and leap clear. That's nonsense. It's always optimal to stay on the bike and brake as hard as possible up to the moment of impact. Always. The energy necessary to get the bike into an intentional low-side dismount so you can jump clear is always better spent dumping kinetic energy into the brakes, with the bike fully upright and the front wheel fully loaded.

Another completely insane motorcyclist meme is if you are inevitably going to strike an animal in the road, it's better to hit it in a wheelie, that is, with the front wheel raised off the ground. Again: insane.
JSX is just JS with brackets instead of nested function calls. I expected more from this community than this kind of commentary.

I think they mean the emissions from generating all that electricity, which isn't always clean. You'll get a lot of hydro and renewables in some countries at some times but then also coal and gas at other times.
There’s just not flexibility built in to the supply chain because flexibility adds cost.

When things go well this just in time manufacturing is lauded as a huge money saver, when they aren’t… you get now.

The business of running everything to the wire on credit and working “cost of capital” so much into business decisions gets us here.

I took a course in COBOL when I was in Unversity. The professor was in industry but taught one night class a semester.

He started the class by talking about how when he learned COBOL, they told him this would make developers obsolete because it would let managers build their own solution. In his experience, it made developers even more valuable because “give a manager five minutes with a codebase, give a developer a job for five years cleaning the mess up.”
This project is soooo amazing! Congrats! Great piece of art and engineering
There's around 4 km/s difference between geostationary orbital speed and the surface of the Earth. For a zero inclination circular orbit, you'd need to be at an altitude of ~1855000 km to have linear velocity equal to the nadir on Earth's surface.

I wonder if there's any types of filament that could be used to print a mirror-like surface good enough to work ?
Labor. Having capital is overvalued, doing work is undervalued. Doing shit work is especially undervalued. Systematically and intentionally.

Take note that I am using the colloquial definition of value, here -- not the economic definition. Equating the two is not innocent, it is equivalent to the assumption "capitalism is good," which rather ends the conversation.

The failure of American capitalism to live up to even the weakest of its promises -- "a rising tide floats all boats" -- for 80% of Americans over the last 40 years is nothing if it is not grandiose. Still, the "grandiose statements" of mine were meant to exercise the limits of the weight function. The actual realization of this prioritization is a million and one instances of "I thought markets are supposed to improve and optimize over the long term, why did this thing get worse?" Followed by "Did it get worse? Think about it again from the perspective of a market that values rich peoples' investment accounts over anything you care about, and ask yourself if made things worse for them or if it is functioning exactly as intended."

Spoiler alert: it's functioning exactly as intended.
You need food production anyway for a sustainable moon base. After the harvest store waste plant matter and burn it over the next season to keep the CO2 concentration in air good for plants and for you. It's a closed cycle if you eat/burn everything you grew each growing season, and you can keep the air CO2 concentration stable by adjusting how much waste matter you burn vs how much CO2 is captured by the plants.

You need about 2000 m2 of corn to feed one person over 1 year and just 100 m2 of corn will capture the CO2 exhaled by that 1 person in 1 year. Assume we live in horizontal lava tubes 300m wide, let's say 10 meters of that tube per person to have some margin of error. That's <535 kg of CO2 in air in that section of the tube and ~8000 kg of CO2 captured in corn planted there the moment before harvest.

It's doable IMHO. At least napkin math checks out.
Nah, I've looked at it alongside the author. It feels like extra work done for that single protocol (but none of their other weird ones) to handle it in a new and nonstandard way.

It would take a very weird bug to make the "select program for protocol" dialog ignore all entries except all versions of Edge; an even weirder coincidence to also ignore the relevant registry setting in favor of Edge when clicking links, and yet more so when when it only affects that protocol but not the other weird ms-specific ones.

Combined with how there was just a small burst of publicity over Firefox and Brave now also support capturing microsoft-edge: links, it feels like the "random bug" explanation is not the more likely one.
Ideally, they're servants of the public/people. Not modern kings/queens, which is what most people see them as (even if temporary ones). So yes, they should be setting examples.
