I think it should be "Don't write Javascript for large and complex projects", which I can get behind.

But I think we just lack any alternative. I like lightweight sites that use the least amount of JS as possible, but some use cases plainly need it.

If you don't use a complex toolchain with bundling and minimizing, I think Typescript isn't worth the effort. If you do, you are probably writing complex projects that are advised against in the first place.
Chase closed my 10-year-old+ personal account without a warning or an explanation. I recommend avoiding them.
They did here a month or two ago. They now apply only in areas where vaccinated and unvaccinated people mingle and enforcement would be too much bother.
Covid vaccines cannot 100% prevent infection like polio vaccine. There are papers that talked about vaccinated people with higher load virus for the initial infection. Given vaccinated people tends to display even less symptoms and more asymptomatic, they are able to spread more because more "infectious". If one is severely down with Covid, one will be confine at home or hospital. Hence the OP claims of more infections is correct and it is not spreading misinformation. This is why now healthcare professionals have opt not to use the word "herd immunity" confer by vaccines. Ironically you are actually more inline with spreading misinformation by not clarifying the vaccinated can still be infected and move around way more than severely unvaccinated people. Having say this, I am pro vaccinations. It is still the right and responsibility thing to do.
I only skimmed the piece but from my skim it had some undertones of "institutionalized racism in the camera industry".

In particular:

> ... And that’s because, even if we think of the camera as a neutral technology, it is not. In the vast spectrum of human colors, photographic tools and practices tend to prioritize the lighter end of that range. And that bias has been there since the very beginning.

And that bit is in the intro portion of the article, making me think that it's part of the premise that the camera is "not a neutral technology".
For a while Firefox ESR was the only one still supporting digital certificate request/generation (KEYGEN).

"St George's has a better record on racial matters than most of the other London medical schools and admits a higher than average proportion of students from ethnic minorities. For example, 12% of the students there had nonEuropean sounding names compared with only 5% at the Westminster Medical School.' "

So it actually was less racist than society at the time..... commonly called a success story.

But we all need to wank off that the AI in 1980's was racist.

And by AI we mean if else statements. God knows what it really was. Probably half paper and pen.

Clown land.

I hope we get racist AI one day, we've had to put up with all this garbage for so long why not?
"Your theory that the sun is the center of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it, has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. James, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory," said the little old lady.

"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely.

"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle."

Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, James decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.

"If your theory is correct, madam," he asked, "what does this turtle stand on?"

"You're a very clever man, Mr. James, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him."

"But what does this second turtle stand on?" persisted James patiently.

To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,

"It's no use, Mr. James -- it's turtles all the way down."

As the article says, humans interbred with Neanderthals to a degree that even today, Europeans have 2% of their genes coming from them.

It's possible that it was the "mixed" species that had the advantage over both the first human arrivals and the Neanderthals... with time, more human arrivals probably diluted the Neanderthals genes to the levels we see today.
In Ruby on Rails there is gem called ViewComponent. Create and being used by github.

May be something similar should be there for other frameworks too.

What does increase in transaction limit has to do with decentralisation?
>if most of them thought/argued that was a conspiracy theory.

about 42K years ago the Earth poles flipped and as a result there was a 1K years period of high UV which, especially without change in visible light to trigger pupil response, would have caused a lot of early cataracts and other issues to the large light colored Neanderthals' eyes with them not having any idea what is happening to them while African originated Cro-Magnon with smaller darker eyes used to stronger African Sun would have fared much better in Europe in that period.
It's exceptionally good advice.

Jerome Powell has already made it clear through his actions that everything is now 'Too Big To Fail'. Capital is at an all-time low in terms of actual real cost to the borrower.

You'd be an idiot not to borrow right now. If we keep seeing dramatic inflation, there will be some increase in wages, and it'll be enough to offset whatever interest rate you get, unless you're just an utterly unqualified borrower.

There's a reason /r/wallstreetbets exploded in popularity right around the time COVID-19 hit and money was being printed nonstop and assets were dramatically increasing in value... the hoi polloi know the playbook that the wealthy elite have been using, and now they're using it too.
Earlier groups of humans could have also been genocided by the later migration waves which would explain why they left no trace in modern populations. Although this is less likely for women.
Do you have a length of slack cable dangling out the bottom of your shirt, like a performer wearing a lavalier mic? If not, then how do retrieve your phone from your pocket in order to change what you're listening to (or just to read something), without the cable yanking your own shirt up?
I have the opposite of these experiences. My XM3s connect reliably and never drop, and have great battery life. My AirPod Pros have constant issues. This is with either my Mac/iPhone or Linux laptop.

That said I’ve gone back to plugging in the XM3s in an attempt to take advantage of Apple’s lossless music.
Well that kind of matches the message he received from the website. It looks like they are just trying to notify you that there is a Chase Mobile App available (which for the average phone user, would be 99.9999% better than using a browser). Personally I wouldn't use a phone for banking but some people don't have laptops/desktops.
It is pretty interesting how depending on the direction of the headline & article, a certain subset of readers become more expressive in comments, giving a false perception of the popular opinion.

Take this topic, or Apple Touchbar threads... For/Against groups voice their opinions more openly when article matches their opinion.

I don’t see them mentioned, but what about low gravity, non existent microorganisms, atmospheric conditions. It seems to be solely focused on soil conditions.
It also depends a lot on price of electricity. Norway has a lot of electric cars because it is a rainy country with terrain very suitable for dams and cheap hydro production.

With enough small modular reactors, we might get to the same point elsewhere. The German renewables mix does seem to drive prices up, especially in certain peaks, because nature is unpredictable and you can absolutely have a freak streak of several windless, dark, cold days in the winter.
Ask HN: How do you take a CS class after college?
I feel like I missed a few things in school, database theory, queuing, optimizing IR in a compiler, etc.

Is there a cost efficient way to take these undergrad/grad CS courses at a college after completing your degree?

I do prefer a formal course with an instructor but, if those are going to be very expensive, do you have suggestions for alternative resources?

Not everyone uses a Mac, and I expect that most people aren't going to change OSes (and app ecosystems) just to get wireless headphones to work well. Less disruptive to just use wires.
really not related, since the excel grids are part of their charting features, rather than coding it from scratch using primitives in excel.
This. Unless there is some economic reason to go to Mars, it will remain a place of scientific curiosity. Just like Antarctica, we will not be colonising Mars.
Yes, calling them inferior or superior is merely another way of describing survival. Why are the genes inferior? Because they don't survive. Why don't they survive? Because ...

Sometimes supposedly inferior genes work better in a specific environment as is the case with sickle cell anaemia where mutation resulting in under-performing haemoglobin confers some resistance to malaria.

This is very true.

The article suggests that the evidence decision-makers now look at when it comes to masking has shifted to lesser-quality observational studies and makes the argument that this has clouded the ability to make good decisions, for example not prioritizing other strategies such as securing better ventilation.

He argues that it's basically just poor decision-making as a result of "politicized science", politicians need to be visible to the public and what's more visible than a mask mandate (or closing down borders).
Hi,

I write on https://timdaub.github.io and I've collected about 150k impressions over the last year or two (check my plausible.io profile).

I suggest that you just start writing. If you look at my early posts, you can see that their variance was super high. I explored lots of weird ideas, styles and topics.

Recently, I've seen my writing "stabilize" - but in fact, in the background I've now also started to explore other mediums for creating essays (audio).

I always wanted to be this genious tech blogger like Slatestarcodex or julian.com etc., but I've realized that my today's work is elsewhere. I'm OK with that and it's amusing to see where I'm steering myself. Feels like a journey.

I now enjoy the process of writing. It contributes to my mental health, career and it has become even a hobby of mine.

Just start and keep at it.
Looks like a nice POC. Is there a practical reason why this website isn't using HTTPS?
I was living in a place in SF that would have cost me 3x to purchase versus my rent. I could take the leftover and invest in other assets. I'm actually ahead of where I would be had I owned since condos have dropped in SF with Covid.
Seems like you're the one gaslighting.

The entire point I was making was that despite a very strict lockdown, Singapore is seeing really significant case numbers and deaths and they still aren't through it yet. All of those things are true.

Once the total costs of lockdown are fully tallied, we may find out the return on those restrictions weren't as high as we thought they would be.
Reminds me of the various versions of a paper published by Alexandre Harvey-Tremblay, including the most recent: https://www.academia.edu/33079029/The_Design_of_a_Formal_Sys... - A previous version even had the public praise of Gregory Chaitin, himself, though it appears to have been removed/superseded.
Articles have more (fallacious) authority over noname anonymous on the internet. You’re observing the insecurities that people have about their opinion, nothing new.
Where did I say stopping the spread?

It's not going to go on forever, we have vaccines, every time more people aquire natural immunity, we get better treatment, etc. But we will do this until we don't have to worry about our hospitals anymore. How do you not understand this?
That's really reductive and doesn't represent my point of view at all.

Do you want me to explain it again?

I'm not sure what Oxide is doing, but creating an OS to replace the firmware on all kinds of 3rd party devices sounds, well, quite quixotic. I'd guess it's more like a common OS for the firmware of their own hardware (rack controllers and whatnot).
What's wrong with anecdotes
What about a high traffic place like a NYC subway?
The country where I was born and the one where I currently live both share this story: National restrictions were introduced, then vaccines, and this autumn the restrictions were lifted. Some regional/local restrictions apply in the worst-hit areas in one case, more in the other.

Viewed as a power grab they don't seem too impressive. But maybe you have some better examples. Or maybe you don't and it's "almost as if" instead of actually.
This seems pretty clearly not about nostalgia or technology.

Nothing signals "don't talk to me" like plainly visible earbuds. I used to wear a pair, with nothing playing, when walking around the city. Worked like a charm + more portable than over-the-ear headphones.
> Computers are never going to gain consciousness

The problem with "consciousness" is that is really hard to define. Until we can measure for it, I agree that computers will never be it.

Personally I think we will have machines that are very smart, that can perform many of the mental tasks that a human can, but will be almost alien in the way they think. But that's ok. They should remain tools that allow us to solve hard problems.
One weird use is that despite its flaws, the DIY ergonomic keyboard community has pretty much standardised on the four-pole 3.5mm variant for connecting split keyboards together. The wires carry DC power and serial!

It got chosen because it was compact, it can be repeatedly plugged and unplugged, sockets can be through-hole soldered, and double-ended cables are widely available.
There is no obvious alternative with those characteristics, and they outweigh the bad.
I plug them in before I go to bed. They are fully charged in the morning and last me the whole day. I've never run it down to zero. My phone also charges at night. Same thing.

I have a high end over ear pair for when I'm working. It blocks out the noise and the neighbors. It's on my head pretty much all the time when I'm at home. 16 hours is not unusual. Having the freedom of movement is very nice. For outdoors, I have a cheap set of bluetooth earphones (25 euros). Not the greatest quality but plenty OK for listening podcasts. Surprisingly comfortable and they have a soft plastic handle that wraps around my ears to keep them in place. They supposedly last about 6 hours. And the case allows me to charge them 3 or 4 times or so. They only need to be plugged in once every two weeks or so.

I've got the Bose SoundSports and love 'em. They have a wire connecting the two earbuds, which clips to your collar. So no worries about falling out or misplacing half the pair... And they charge really fast, as well.
I'm a bit disappointed that this wasn't about RPGs, using web-based Excel as some kind of virtual tabletop...
Only if they had told the city official that they were planing to cook meth and sell it on streets then these inspectors would have totally turned a line eye on this little operation.

No but the only credible source control tool for VisualWorks was envy/developer. Otherwise you were filing in and out classes and trying to share your changes. It was a disaster.
We are 'allowing to build more' just not in specific, aspirational areas.
Or you could use JBIG2 with reasonable settings.
I'm just absolutely dumbfounded that a bug like this could ever be allowed to ship.
When I look at the headlines you posted I don't see anything that remotely leads me to think this is related to such media as you suggest.

Conversely, perhaps that's precisely what needs to happen for the legal banhammer to come down?
One area that is a "knowledge wild west" is managerial and executive decision making. Apparently, people are expected to figure out how to handle an incalculable amount of business situations through osmosis or intuition.

My move into management roles quickly led me to plateau. I could only realistically improve my coaching skills. Decision-making skill seemed to be dependent on situational exposure, which meant upper management levels were only achievable after years of experience. This explains management demographics and the perception of the ambiguity of management roles. "What do managers do all day??"

I made a breakthrough though. I learned about Decision Modeling and Notation, which I earnestly embraced. I began modeling all sorts of situations I encountered as a manager. My ultimate failure was in not being able to apply it to the knowledge of people further up the totem pole. It's hard to explain to people that management can be largely systematized, especially when that itself is a paradigm shift that could be a threat to their own status.

I have to second that. Including the variant "canonical s-expressions" which is in fact a binary format.
I’ve certainly been blocked by chase on linux with firefox, but I was only using their auto loans at the time. It was super annoying, because I first tried to get a payoff quote on the iOS app, then the mobile website, then on a linux laptop, before resigning and using my work Macbook. Perhaps other lines of business support linux better?
> Wi-fi "randomly" disconnects for a few seconds due to interference just as often, but you don't notice

That’s false. If it happens to you, get better wireless equipment.
Thanks for the link, but not necessarily.

How WSDL and the code generation around it worked, was that you'd have a specification of the web API (much like OpenAPI attempts to do), which you could feed into any number of code generators, to get output code which has no coupling to the actual generator at runtime, whereas Pyotr is geared more towards validation and goes into the opposite direction: https://pyotr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client/

The best analogy that i can think of is how you can also do schema first application development - you do your SQL migrations (ideally in an automated way as well) and then just run a command locally to generate all of the data access classes and/or models for your database tables within your application. That way, you save your time for 80% of the boring and repetitive stuff while minimizing the risks of human error and inconsistencies, with nothing preventing you from altering the generated code if you have specific needs (outside of needing to make it non overrideable, for example, a child class of a generated class). Of course, there's no reason why this can't be applied to server code either - write the spec first and generate stubs for endpoints that you'll just fill out.

Similarly there shouldn't be a need for a special client to generate stubs for OpenAPI, the closest that Python in particular has for now is this https://github.com/openapi-generators/openapi-python-client

However, for some reason, model driven development never really took off, outside of niche frameworks, like JHipster: https://www.jhipster.tech/

Furthermore, for whatever reason formal specs for REST APIs also never really got popular and aren't regarded as the standard, which to me seems silly: every bit of client code that you write will need a specific version to work against, which should be formalized.
Show HN: Select Star – Automated data catalog and discovery for modern data
Hello HN!

I’m Shinji, founder of Select Star. Starting today, we’re opening Select Star as a GA product with a Free tier.

HN is special to me & Select Star because I met one of my founding engineers from the HN Seeking freelancer post. He’s now built our Rust SQL parser from the ground up.

Select Star was born from my love of working with data. Over the last 13 years, I’ve worked as a software engineer, data scientist, business analyst, product manager, and a data startup founder, working with structured and unstructured data across a variety of use cases.

While having lots of data is great, I believe that to use it effectively you also need to understand the context around it. And building and maintaining that context is hard if you were to build a data dictionary manually.

Select Star is designed to bring you and everyone on your team the full context of data in your organization. Select Star will tell you where the data came from, who’s using it, how they’re using it and what reports/dashboards are already created based on the data.

And it does it automatically within the first hours of you connecting your data warehouse and/or BI tools.

See Select Star in action: https://youtu.be/eZuIyq4DP1o

Feel free to ask me anything!
