Having managed a dozen WordPress sites with eCommerce, half of which are multimillion dollar businesses, this is a obviously a blatantly false tirade.

Like everything else, its greatest weakness is its greatest strength. PLugins make and break it (literally). The key to a successful WordPress site is having the flexibility of the plugin infrastructure, without abusing it.

Just this week I migrated an eCommerce site with 75 plugins down to 12 plugins, and it looks 10x better and loads 4x faster and has way more functionality. Test different plugins, get to know them, and stick to a few key ones.

This article is full of either errors, or at least misleading statements.
It comes across as trying to say something controversial to get attention.

Just one obvious glaring issue with the article:

>Note that the app package itself is only 4.4 MB. The rest is all redundant libraries that are already on my system

Um, no. It's not redundant. Your system might get updated, replacing the needed libraries with backwards incompatible libraries, and then your app would break.

I do agree with the general idea that not limiting possible runtimes to an approved list means essentially infinite runtimes, which can balloon disk space. I think you need choice to prevent stifling innovation. At least at first. But hopefully the community will end up doing the right thing here over time.
> Why would you be embarrassed of being awesome?

There are still many professions where illegally broadcasting your ass being slapped by a flyswatter to the city of Chicago would be enough to cause real professional issues. Even if it was 30 years ago.
Huh. Interesting. I re-watched the American series a couple of years ago and thought it held up incredibly well. "Different strokes" and all that, I guess.

Ask HN: Is this legit or is it a sign of something sinister?
I'm a casual rust player and I was considering getting some custom skins for in-game items. One way to do that is via rust skin gambling sites. One very popular site offers incentives to deposit via crypto, paydash and gift cards. For every dollar I deposit into the site using those methods, I get an extra 35-40% value. Other deposit methods just get you face value. Is there a legit reason to do this or is it a sign of something sinister?
> by $500

First, that would be $300, or a 33% reduction. Let me explain the reasoning.

If batteries are manufactured abroad and that foreign currency experiences sudden inflation, exchange rates for the local currency would make them quite a bit cheaper, especially in a volatile market if sellers are "desperate" to get some (perceived) more stable currency.

I wonder what kind of items that effect would be visible on first, and if that can be used as a tool to look at the market.

Now, this would be combined with regular year-on-year advances in battery tech and price reduction. But if the yearly price drop was higher than usual, I was offering a possible explanation.
> For all that, which is not a standardized component on Unix-like systems; POSIX does not acknowledge its existence.

Given that `which` is not POSIX compliant you wonder why it is so popular compared with command -v which is just slightly more complicated.
Go creates less garbage and also stack allocates things using escape analysis which as the article explains, is effectively a form of generational garbage collection.
Cool article, I'm not sure I agree with the headline.

I used to write low-scale Java apps, and now I write memory intensive Go apps. I've often wondered what would happen if Go did have a JVM style GC.

It's relatively common in Go to resort to idioms that let you avoid hitting the GC. Some things that come to mind:

* all the tricks you can do with a slice that have two slice headers pointing to the same block of memory [1]

* object pooling, something so common in Go it's part of the standard library [2]

Both are technically possible in Java, but I've never seen them used commonly (though in fairness I've never written performance critical Java.) If Go had a more sophisticated GC, would these techniques be necessary?

Also Java is supposed to be getting value types soon (tm) [3]

If something replaced cocaine, my guess would be pills, both repurposed medical grade ones and things like ecstasy. Being completely manufactured allows for an arbitrary distinction in quality based on packaging, and that's obviously something people like to buy into.

That said, I'm not sure I believe cocaine ever lost favor with the wealthy. Maybe they just shifted from open semi-public use to more private and small groups doing it within the whole? Instead of open use in the big common room, maybe people just split off into side rooms in small groups that are interested to do it and rejoin the main group later.
If breaking the rules means alienating people who like Reader Mode, PgUp/PgDn buttons, disabling JS, printing or exporting as a PDF, or reading on a constrained device: maybe the "rules" exist to protect underrepresented ways to read webpages.
Similar advice applies also to Open Source non-profit foundations, in my opinion :^)
I've used Intercooler.js (the predecessor to HTMX) a bit on top of Django and small Go apps (no framework). If you don't need a lot of complex state and interactivity on the front end it can work well. This approach avoids the complexity of having two codebases, you can get the performance/usability benefits of partial page updates while keeping 99% of the codebase in one language.
Some Ford F-150 models get 25 mpg combined fuel economy. That's pretty good. At that rate a typical owner will spend only a few hundred dollars per year extra on fuel compared to a smaller car.

It may be gauche to express this opinion on HN of all places and I hope it doesn't come off as tonedeaf disrespect, but does anybody notice VC is falling out of favor unless absolutely necessary?

I am noticing a lot of bootstrappers that are emerging with the ethos that VC isn't what it used to be for some markets, and often a poor choice of the right VC can be a detriment to a project's longevity, with some teams choosing to avoid it at all costs.
People have done plenty of useful things with htmx, just like people did (and some continue to do) useful things with links & forms.

It's just shoddy analysis of sources.

You see it all the time on Facebook, or reddit, or wherever people post things like 'Did you know <group of ancient people believed> <something utterly ridiculous> without quantifying whether or not this was a common belief, or just a drinking story that they told.

An outsider who isn't careful about this might make a similar claim that modern Americans believe in a heroic lumberjack giant called Paul Bunyan, who has a giant pet blue ox. This is technically correct, but is also utterly useless as a description of modern Americans.
> but I suppose the situation here is similar as with "abandonware"

I don't know if this would hold up. Prince of Persia IP is far from dead or abandoned. I know it's not exhaustive, but a quick search on IMDB [0] shows a movie in 2010, and a video game as recently as 2008. Just because this particular game is old, doesn't mean the IP/Trademark is dead. Personally, I'd be wary of a legal battle, even though I think the project is pretty interesting.

Not really... Your body is really good at adapting and your body will compensate when drugs put it out of homeostasis, when your you stop taking those drugs your body will stop compensating for it. You won't be "permanently" depressed after quitting a coke habit and you won't have "permanently" shrunk balls after quitting steroids etc. etc.

Exactly, I use it with fzf and ctrl-t:

54 │ export FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND="mdfind -onlyin . -name ."

Unfortunately it's not instant - it takes about a second for the tens of thousands of file entries to populate. But fzf searching that list is practically instant. After selecting the file I want, enter just returns me to the command line with the full path to the file. I can then ctrl-a and type 'vim' or 'code' or whatever. It's not a perfect workflow, but it's pretty good for finding files in complex folder structures.

As a Rust developer, contributor and generally a big fan of Rust, I'd tend to disagree. Having a garbage-collector is a lifesaver for many algorithms. Static lifetime management is great but isn't something you want to force developers to use when they're more interested in coming up with solutions quickly.

Also, I really don't see how it would work in Go. You require a pretty strong type system to make static lifetime management work. Unless something has changed radically in the recent past, that's not something that the Go community had much interest in (yes, I know that generics are one step in that direction, but I'm not aware of further steps being discussed).

There are very few falsifiable statements in this article but the extant ones are all demonstrably false, starting with this whopper:

"This typically causes Java programs to have complete freezes of several hundred milliseconds where objects get moved around"

Yeah, i mean, definitely not. The only language I regularly work with that has this property is, surprise, Go.

The proof is in the tasting, as they say. Go look at the gRPC daily benchmarks if you want hard data. Java beats Go latency at the median and at the tail while having substantially better specific throughput. In other words the Java GC has no tradeoff versus the Go GC; it is better in every way.

I don't know what is tapeout, but Clash can describe any circuit that Verilog can. If you wanted to, you could one-to-one translate the circuit descriptions between the two.

We could argue about the current state of tooling for Clash and its ability to work together with vendor-specific tools and other ecosystem stuff, I don't know much about this. But as a language Clash can do everything Verilog does.
Hello HN, I'm head of engineering at Harness Wealth. Yesterday we launched our suite of financial planning tools for startup employees. We set out to answer the question: "How will my life change when my startup exits?" It’s a question every early employee thinks about, yet there is zero accessible guidance on this. You’re on your own for the most consequential financial event of your life.

Our tools will show you the different IPO outcomes when optimizing for capital gains, minimizing risk, or avoiding AMT (alternative minimum tax). We also give you a holistic view of your net worth using our Grant Admin and Personal Balance Sheet, replacing your custom built spreadsheets.

I hope HN readers find these tools useful and we’re just getting started, we'll be adding support for RSUs, SPACs, acquisitions, and additional scenarios i the near future.

This is great. The drop in capacity from March through August of this year is a bit concerning, but certainly not at historical lows (although I wonder if a tough labor market is precluding some of that capacity from coming online).

Another issue to consider is that gasoline isn't a generic commodity across the United States. California always has the headliner numbers for the most expensive gas, namely because they require their own formulation which only local refineries produce (last I recall, maybe some out of state refineries produce it as well).

California is the most egregious example, however there are other states with boutique gasoline requirements -- see https://www.api.org/-/media/Files/Policy/Fuels-and-Renewable.... It adds another wrinkle to "increase oil > use excess refining capacity" narrative.
hmm good point. Assuming they started with a similar code base it could be useful too.

You just posted a link where there is a clear statement about Ukes not paying money for gas.

"Russia claimed Ukraine was not paying for gas, but diverting that which was intended to be exported to the EU from the pipelines. Ukrainian officials at first denied the accusation, but later Naftogaz admitted that because of harsh winter (lower than minus 30C) some natural gas intended for other European countries was retained and used for domestic needs."

Exceptional off-cycle compensation adjustments for software engineers in 2021
Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate being able to pick other folks' brains on here :)
in theory that's what the links and quotes are all about -- so you can just click a link and see, "yep - this publication says that Chomsky said this", or "yep, that looks like Chomsky saying that to a video camera", or "yep, this is a book with ihs name on it as a co-author, and this does appear to be the page with this exact text on it", etc.

so, you don't have to worry about GPT3/etc if you can follow the links.

as for how to discern what info is real and fake in this new gpt3 world, that's a diff question - one which i'm sure chomsky has answered directly or indirectly at some point, so that'll be on the site at some point, too.

I was quoting only Chomsky's actual words at first -- actual quotes -- but i don't think that works in the end -- you just lose too much context, etc. -- so i think i'm going back to traditional blog/block-quoting/quoting.

in traditional big media publications, for instance, there is a lot of filler/contenxt/non-Chomsky text, but in interview-style verbatim interview articles, it's easier to just quote chomsky in full, because he is actually laying out the full context.

the Summaries at the top of each question (right now, mine and only mine) could def represent a misinterpretation of what Chomsky actually said or meant -- and i would expect that to be an ongoing push/pull -- hopefully folks will help me correct, clarify, re-word, etc.

the summaries don't have to be perfect, and i would like them to be - but that's not possible.

the idea is to give as short and concise an answer as is possible, without oversimplifying. then add the hopefully-voluminous documented evidence of what he said, with links, etc.

i might even end up structuring it in three levels instead of the current two.

Right now, the 'Summary' is 1) and 2) (below) combined:
1) 'yes or no'-style very short answer
2) longer, more-nuanced, but still 'Summary' answer
3) full text, audio, and video of anything/everything Chomsky has ever said on the topic(s) that support what is states in 1) and 2).

but i'd be curious which specific question(s) you think looks suspicious. some are not completed yet. i hope to add new features that allow me to work on drafts -- i.e. not publish an article until it is done.

As you said, it's because money begets control of other people's lives. If the only thing you could do with money is live in luxury, then hardly anyone would care about it but wealth can be used to:

1. Ensure your plans never fail because you continually inject money into the equation. And by that ensure that other peoples plans always fail because they run out of money first.
2. Stymie actions and actors that you dislike. (and revenge on your enemies)
3. Materially, improve the lives of your children.

Setting aside the massive issues with the whole "just make the rich pay for it" shtick, climate change is not ruinous. Humans are incredibly adaptable. We can survive just fine in even the worst predicted climate change scenario. We also have plenty of tools for drastic geoengineering if needed.

Climate change is not a threat to human livelihood in itself. Humans are a threat to humans. Instability makes humans do crazy shit to each other, orders of magnitude worse than the ongoing slow motion trainwreck of climate change.
