To be blunt, it looks like a rehash of a tired trope. The "let's vanilla instead" snark has been a thing[0] since forever.

There's really nothing new or interesting here. `g` is prototype.js' `$`, `h` is basically a hyperscript flavor of the much older domo[1], `u` is `fetch`, `x` is `.textContent = ''`, `r` is on dom content loaded. That's about it, I think? A real curmudgeon writes those from scratch cus fuck npm /s

All the arguments against React are kinda just a display of lack of familiarity w/ the frontend ecosystem. The patent thing is so outdated it's borderline "ok boomer" cringe territory. There are plenty of projects like hyperapp and htmx that are minimalist, free of compiler BS and don't look like a high school kid's hot take on tiktok. And the thing about writing utils from scratch as a vanilla lover is actually semi serious (I've done it myself, as someone who's even developed a React-based framework at work...)

Sorry to OP if this sounds negative, but this is clearly a pretty low effort jab at the "frontend is complex" meme, and "revolutionary" is simply not how I'd describe this, even if I was being very generous.

Doing arithmetic on __LINE__..... I'm mostly impressed and very slightly horrified. So of course I'll be stealing this.
Can we change the link from SFGate to the more reliable|original source, either the cnbc/reuters article or the actual Consumer Reports blogpost? Not sure why need to have third hand info source.

I was curious enough to actually contact IV and confirm that the other Difference Engine No 2 is, in fact, in their lobby.
I feel like it's a product of the era we grew up in. Or the OS that made you fall in love with computers.

For me that was Mac OS 8 on the first iMac :)
They can both lie and be incompetent. In fact, I think there's probably a decent correlation between lying and incompetence.
I'm not a chess player, but I was into competitive Pokémon for a time.

Any decent player will prioritise win probability over loss minimisation, even to the point of sacrificing multiple Pokémon to get a single turn of setup with your main sweeper.

While it seems confusing to newbies, experienced players know exactly why they're making the choices that they are.
I've never used anything except "npm run/build" for all my react since 2016. What's the problem?
They talk a lot about airgapped computer and provable compilation of an OS but they just get over "we use HSM" as if they were obviously secure. We have many examples of HSMs being compromised or broken and they don't even notice that.
Probably not. These are the corners of the Internet one would rather not visit.
This was the best comment I’ve read on the internet all week. :)
Yes, they still are useless, at least for the -O3 and -O4 sections.

The compiler removing the loop is due to a bad test setup in which the function in the loop does nothing and compiler can figure that out and skip the whole calculation. In a real scenario the function in the loop would (presumably) actually do some work so it could not be elided. Also, note that the compiler does this for BOTH the Duff's device version and the non Duff's device version.

Also, I'm neither attacking nor defending Duff's device. I'm just saying that we can't draw any useful conclusions from this article because of poor methodology.
You might be interested to know that in the alternate universe of Phabricator — the magnum opus of a PHP codebase that is the fourth cousin twice removed of Facebook’s internal PHP stack — there was a function not unlike the one you describe:

https://github.com/phacility/libphutil/blob/034cf7cc39940b93...

It’s verbose but I learned a lot from it. For example, returning a more specific type than String can eliminate a large class of security / escaping bugs.
Loved Ben Eater's kit. His videos are awesome and the kit is a lot of fun to build.
> I am surprised at the remark towards the end how unlawfully accepted patents cannot be retracted/invalidated.

> That totally does not make sense to me: how is this possible?

It's not.

I mean, AIUI the patent office doesn't really have a process for doing so on it's own initiative, but 3rd parties can and do challenge patents and their claims (esp. w. prior art), which in extreme cases can result in a patent being narrowed to the point of uselessness or even revoked entirely.
Most cars in the US have 3-4yr "bumper-to-bumper" warranty and 5-6yr for powertrain. Tesla has 8yr only for battery/drive unit. Warranty for the rest of the car runs out at 4yr or 50k miles (plan to replace S door handles [although less so] & air suspension for S/X). Luckily 3/Y don't have air suspension or fancy doors/handles.
If the CDC and the WHO and "the experts" hadn't spent months flooding the airwaves with the message that people should be scared of fomites, while ignoring aerosols?

I think that might have played a role, yes.
Pretty much realistic fiction. Most of it is online. A complete list is available (with links when possible) at https://www.dahosek.com/publications/ One of the stories, “Bartholomew L. Bartholomew” even made it to the front page of HN.
I wonder if it’s because of their subtlety. I assume you are referencing JavaScript, where the warts are impossible to ignore because you can’t write an everyday program as a beginner without running into them. This sort of thing from the article is just not something I would typically be trying to do in the normal course of shuffling data around.
>Google prohibits vendors from bundling other stores,

they do? then why does my phone have a uninstallable 'galaxy store' app that Samsung decide to fill my limited storage with.
> they hike rates, but not enough to offset inflation, and so real interest rates remain negative and prices keep going up.

So stagflation, with the prices going up but down in real terms.

That seems to be the best case scenario, the way to reduce overinflated asset prices without causing a panic.

And I'm pretty sure central bankers are currently dreaming of pulling this off, but it seems the market is much more aware of inflation than it was in the 70s, so I'm not sure it's more than a dream.
Out of curiosity, from which design app did you model your decision? I’m not questioning you, but I’m very curious to know which design software GUIs use an idiom so different from what I’ve experienced, yet is common enough to be a convention. I’ve used many design apps for many purposes and never used one that would switch you out of any mark making tool automatically once a single mark was made. (I’m a UI designer and developer primarily, so new (to me) things in design tool UIs tick a lot of personal interest boxes.)

NestJS has some pretty horrific default settings, like a max 1MB request payload size. And you have to write custom content-type processors for anything other than 'application/json'. So if you're doing say, file upload's over 1MB, you already have to make 2 configuration changes. But you wouldn't assume that OOTB 1 MB file upload isn't supported for what claims to be a full nuts-and-bolts web application framework.
We (https://verida.io) are building decentralized Web3 storage APIs using PouchDB/CouchDB for data storage and replication and using blockchain for signing data.

It's as fast as a centralized solution (because you have a real database!) but has all the benefits of being decentralized (own your own data! Choose replication servers! Split payment for data between data originators and app developer! Alternate models to advertising for free-to-use apps!)
I realize this comment is probably tongue-in-cheek, but if we take it at face value and hold a Unix shell up to the ear, would we hear the C?
Saved you a click: It's "risk compensation".

"It’s an idea that ...posits that people adjust their behavior in response to perceived risk: the safer you feel, the more risks you’ll take."

regarding road guardrails, for example: "...proponents of the idea make a stronger claim: that guardrails cause so much reckless driving that any potential safety benefits of guardrails are offset or even reversed."
The "substack page" is written by a doctor and professor at UCSF who specializes in clinical trials, evidence-based medicine and medical reversals.
Seems like most of the technical blame here is being placed on the lack of agility of the process. There were bidders available in the crypto world, but you can't turn those into dollars on the time scales required by a physical auction.

Which is to say, this failed in exactly the way that all us curmudgeons knew it was going to: DAO's and other software constructions are and remain software constructions and they can't make things happen outside their realm. If you want to buy things in the world of people you have to be able to actually make things happen with people. And web3 can't.

In some sense this was the best failure mode, anyway. Now it just goes away and we worry about the next big crypto thing. What if they'd succeeded? It's a physical thing. Someone has to store it, and guard it, and curate it, and all of that is labor that has to be done by people paid in dollars. A pure software construction isn't going to be able, more or less by definition, to supervise that. Frankly I was half expecting this to succeed, and then see the thing disappear in a high profile theft or mysterious disappearance, or just outright fraud.
I can't see AI putting artists out of business. Artists are and will remain much more cost effective than the expense of training machines, because most of them work for peanuts or free. The most we will see is artists using AI as a medium ('Show me a dog with an apple on its head. Now make it greener with more neanderthal.').
India's Modi says he will repeal controversial farm laws
For reference, these are what are required for a just, trustworthy election:

Anonymity. No voter shall be linked to a personally identifiable record of their vote intent.

Freedom. Voters may vote or not.

Transparency. A human readable, physical record of voter intent shall be recorded from each voter. This record is used directly for the final tally.

Oversight. The law, means, methods, records, shall be performed and made available to the watchful public eye.

The problem areas for electronic voting are:

No linking of voters to expressions of voter intent. The record of vote cast.

When voters express intent to a machine, the actual physical expression ends up as a smudge of grease on some input device. The machine interprets that fleeting expression used for the final tally.

Any electronic vote is, by the nature of the technology, a vote by proxy thus placing voters in a position of forced trust, unable to require their actual vote record be hauled into court if needed, and the record is subject to manipulation the voter will have no knowledge of.

Even worse?

Voters cannot verify their vote record captured by the machine reflects their vote intent. The display may show them something, anything at all and who are they to know what actually got recorded, if anything at all was?

Banking gets around this by personally identifiable transactions, double, triple records, receipts and other means and methods people can use to understand whether the right thing happened, and or was manipulated.

Anonymonity denies us all these tools. The product of that is we really need to use a physical expression of the voter intent if we were to have any chance at all of having a trustworthy election.

At the moment of that expression, the voter has a chain of trust between their own internal intent and the mark they made on the physical media. After that moment has passed it doesn't come again, and that is the one and only opportunity to correctly capture and then make use of voter intent in an election.
> When I need to write JavaScript, I just want to write JavaScript

The beauty of compilers/transpilers is that you can write in the latest JavaScript and not have to worry about browser compatibility, it will automatically transpile down to whatever target you want.

So you can write ES2021 and have it output ES5.
All user input is santized :)
> People always say development is faster in a dynamically typed language, this is not my experience. You need to actually run the program and step into it with a debugger in order to determine the type of anything at run time.

You just develop on the running program... If you just write it in your editor, run, check for errors, stop, edit more, run, stop, etc... then yes, you don't gain anything.
On the other hand, watching western actors grovel in public because they had the temerity to call Taiwan a nation makes me inclined to think that there's something actually perilous here.
On topic though, if they are so unreliable, why are do they have such high consumer satisfaction ratings?

https://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisf...

Maybe I just don't understand the American car consumer market, or may there is a difference in the magnitude of measurements.

Also, I hear people in Europe preferring the Shanghai made cars over the Fremont made one (for having better fit and finish), may Fremont is just not fit for purpose?

The new Austin and Berlin Factories, plus the new mega-casting system, might finally give us some insight.

Seeing the battery and chip supply issues, I feel Tesla has snagged themselves another 3-5 years of lax workmanship before the alternatives simply catch upto them.

Tesla's true moat is charging infra, and that can't last long.
Natural gas pipelines will have to ramp down with fossils though.

I actually just followed your link in the sibling comment ;)

So thank you
Model X is just a badly designed car, it needs to be taken out to the back and shot.

But I feel it just earns them too much money from the people trying to show off the dancing falcon doors to scrap it.
"My original comment explicitly (see: "if/when independent survival is [...] feasible") takes no position on this matter."

Since "independent survival" will never be feasible on Mars, your comment sounds like pure fiction.

It's not like you can just go out in the wilderness and kill an animal for food, or find a river to drink from. You can't even breathe there.

"Independent survival" is barely even feasible on Earth.

You will always be dependent on the facilities, supply ships, etc.

Then there's the question of protecting what you have, without having any authorities, law enforcement, etc. to help you.

If you go there, it will most likely be an experience as in the old mining towns, where a single company owned everything, (factory, shops, residential areas, recreational areas, etc), and the workers will mainly be paid in "company bucks", that can only be used there.

For most people, it'll be like a dystopian neo-feudalistic nightmare, you can't wake up from. One where you can't even quit your job, because there's nowhere else to go. Indentured servitude on another planet.

But the Elon fan boys will no doubt be happy to sign up for it anyway.
And it's fine for Chinese people to get their speech censored?
while this looks cool, this is also getting out of hand. we need an operating system that doesn't require all this machinery on top in order to achieve basic encapsulation.
You prefer customizing wordpress?
I worked at IOHK and now work on a Parity-backed startup & wish more people had your view on the subject. Pretty tired of the HN viewpoint that people working in crypto == scammers.
> it was designed to be an 'banking/commercial haven'

Singapore was a trading port from it's first conception when the Sultan of Johor sold the basically uninhabited swamp island to the British. When they were amicably booted out of Malaysia the country was one of the poorest on Earth, they had no natural resources, rampant poverty and unemployment, no military and infrastructure was in a terrible state. They somehow managed to completely turn that around in half a century, if you look at other new nations formed since then not a single one has managed to even come close to their success despite having vastly superior natural advantages. The Balkan states in particular come to mind, they also had a chance to start anew with a clean slate in the 90's and 30 years on they are a collective basketcase of nations whose younger population is abandoning in droves.

40% of all shipping traffic on Earth passes through their waters, the Port of Singapore is the worlds 2nd busiest by tonnage handled. People associate the country with finance while ignoring the sheer volume of cargo that moves through there.

> Like a more complicated version of having 'Oil Wealth'.

Find this comparison very hard to grok. Any country on Earth could copypaste Singaporean banking and corporate laws today if they wanted to, there's nothing stopping them. Now those same countries can't magically have the oil reserves of the Saudis or Venezuela.

> What makes Singpore 'rich' is the foundation established by the UK as having 'rule of law' and 'peace and order'.

By that metric all former colonies should be thriving?
I guess for me, homage to the document would be people hunkering down to debate philosophies on how to structure governance to balance powers between a lower and higher level.

I could see maybe how it was showing more respect for the document, I guess I just wish it went a lot deeper.
Moderna and BioNTech both made around $7 billion profit each, not revenue, just last year. Because of this, their share price is also up 11x since IPO 3 years ago, and 16x since IPO 2 years ago, respectively.

They need the Model X, because the squat, flat 'sedan' body style of all their other cars seems very out of date these days. They do it for air resistance I think, but most people want a much more upright car.
This post is from Nov 4. (The dateline is written in Korean.)

The big surprise here is/was that Google intends to charge a "service fee" to developers who use an alternative billing system.

> We recognize, however, that developers will incur costs to support their billing system, so when a user selects alternative billing, we will reduce the developer’s service fee by 4%. For example, for the vast majority of developers who pay 15% for transactions through Google Play's billing system, their service fee for transactions through the alternate billing system would be 11%.

I was hoping that at some point in the weeks to follow, they'd clarify how this is supposed to work. Presumably Google will require me to send them a report of how much money I'd made?

And then I guess I'd write Google a check for 11% of my earnings…?? Quarterly? Monthly? What happens if I miss a payment?
I don’t think peoples PII/PHI should be presumed public. FOIAs exemptions are not without reason.
If diet soda induced an insulin response, then anyone on a ketogenic diet or fasting who drank a lot of them could end up with hypoglycemia. I have never heard of this happening. I personally drink diet soda and energy drinks while fasting, including a few two week fasts, and have never had anything like hypoglycemia as a result.
To be fair that is none of our business.

Every government decided these things by themselves.
Anything extending the life of IPv4 is actively harmful.

(Like I said last time this was posted.)

The most important problem with IPv4 is that it mandates 1:N NAT configurations that break direct connectivity between devices on the Internet. Yes you can traverse NAT but it's an ugly and often unreliable hack. This of course is because the address space is too small for everything to have an IP, whether global or 1:1 NATed.

Difficult peer to peer connectivity means everything has to have a server. You can't just write communication apps that... communicate. The added cost here is enormous both in money and in privacy/security.

IPv4 is also too small for private networks. Corporate networks are often full of hideous hacks like multiple NATs that negotiate interoperability between networks with overlapping 10.x address spaces, "theft" of unused IPv4 space such as US DoD addresses, etc.
Just the CO2 numbers aren't giving you the right picture, as the other effects multiply the emissions effects of air travel on warming (for example radiative forcing).

That's also why an air travel emissions factor is used by policymakers when talking about its effects.

(Also, US transportation emissions in other sectors, especially road, are enormous in comparison to other countries, for context on the relative comparisons: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1201189/road-transport-s...).
