First: As I stated above, the data was not accurate. At all. These fires had moved miles before Google caught up days later.

Second: Google maps gave delayed, conflicting, or insufficient data on the closures of roads. The ONLY correct, complete, and accurate source should be the local government and counties managing the operations. By presenting itself as an authoritative source of information, they likely put more people in danger, or hampered efforts by local governments to manage road traffic for firefighter crews.

Google repeatedly tried to send us down roads that we knew were closed or could put is in danger if a traffic jam formed. It then taunted you with an incessant, repeated, useless warning that "Cameron Peaks wildfire may delay your travel" that could not be disabled.

I wouldn't exactly be touting the poorly polished turd pile that this project was. The "willingness to help" was certainly there, but explicit consent and information feeds from local governments managing the emergencies, they only stand as a distraction and it would be best if they did nothing.
If I skipped reading the first clause in your comment, I would definitely think you were talking about modern software systems. Plenty of pride there.

For anyone interested in this, read through the Dolphin emulator reports [0].

Specifically, look for examples of bugs they've fixed, and why they were triggered.

At this point, they're essentially all of the "X software depended on a quirk of Y feature, to do (whatever), because the developers chose to do it that way." For that one specific piece of software, and nowhere else.

And that's for a game console with highly standardized hardware and libraries. The general purpose computer has a bit larger mutation surface. :-)

Or, to crib from another sibling poster,

"You have a million places to make sure your virtualization looks like the actual artifact. Of those, 100 are used by everything, 1,000 are used by many things, and 10,000 are used by a few things. The remainder may be used by some piece of software out there, somewhere."

"You have a year to build a working product. Are you going to implement and equally test all million things?"

Yeh, I agree. There are some nasty little WP pitfalls which can totally bite you on the ass if you're not used to it as an environment.

I guess I'd also like to chew into what "a website" is. I mean - I still maintain that for basically all "normal" content-rich websites you'd be hard pushed to find a better solution than WordPress. It's not just the rich plugin/theme/development ecosystem* but the fact that editing is so, so simple that makes this the case - so although many modern solutions for delivering websites focus lots on the front end, actually (in my sector / experience - working with very content rich, complex sites), it's "a nice editing experience" that is critical too.

At "transactional" level - ie as your "web thing" is less about pure content and more about "something app-like" then it becomes a different sort of problem. Saving state and logins and so on is absolutely in WP's space in theory, but you definitely run the risk of entering an arena where you're making it do things it really shouldn't be doing, and that can get really gnarly really quickly.

But - having said that (and back to the thread) - I've been pleasantly surprised that using WP as an actual (simple!) web app framework brings lots to the table, and not many people have thought about it in this way.

[* this is also a downside. We do "proper" WordPress development - fully bespoke "from scratch" themes, proper deployments etc - but many, many people just throw up a Divi site with 80 plugins and say they're a WordPress developer...]

I can think of few stranger things that I have experienced in my life than being around a group of G hounds. It's like the Twilight Zone, and no, G is not safe and the effects are quite different than alcohol. It would never be widely popular to do a drug that so easily creates lapses in short-term memory... I think it is well-known why that is.
I actually prefer the PC VGA version; it has very nice graphics, but still in the same style as the original Apple II version, not a complete redraw in a different style and tone, like many of the ports.
It's more interesting and useful for me, and I assume other people, to learn about new ML architectures or frameworks that will facilitate my development than the underworkings of a hash table. This will probably bite me in the back eventually, but I see a lot of opportunity cost when choosing what to learn.
The original author of Pepe hates that his character was used in this way and has sued alt-right groups.

There are strong attempts to take Pepe back. The same is happening to Moon Man.

You reminded me of my father showing up home one time (around 2005, I was 7-8) proudly showing a random CD. Then after few hours he called to show off a virtual Windows 98 PC running in a window on our Windows XP computer. I was fascinated, total awe for a few minutes. Virtual PC became the basis for my experimentation with Windows Server 2003 and newer + Windows clients (even multiple networked PCs ran nicely!), later Linux servers inside Virtualbox, and led to my career in software engineering.

Anyways to answer your question, Virtual PC and VirtualBox can fully run old as well as new software, and the performance hit is not that bad (I ran multiple virtualized Windows Servers when a PC had 1GB of RAM). However more modern virtualization methods can offer bare metal-like performance, which Virtual PC/Virtualbox will never be able to make.

That's usually not really practical. Even businesses that have transparent pricing by usage still have enterprise sales teams and their customers always want to negotiate. Usage patterns are all unique. Sometimes you can offer non-monetary value like case studies, beta testing, or some sort of in-kind service. You can trade on commitment times versus price per transaction or price per user or whatever. There's no easy way around it.

Where have you been the last 2 years? People got pissed from being told to wear a mask to help slow the spread of a disease. I think it's safe to say telling people to tighten their belts when it comes to consumption would piss off members of all political parties.
Automation solves problems that can be addressed by people in poverty.

Automation funnels that money away from people in poverty to property owners.

There is no support today, nor is any on the horizon, for people poised to be displaced by automation (in the US).

Combine all of these, and you're going to end up with a class of people with an inability to meet their basic needs, and with no support from the government. This historically doesn't end well.
No, it's quite simple. They are next to China. They have aging demographics, their real estate bubble popped and their "fiscal stimulus" attempts involved increasing consumption taxes... (Abenomics).
I did the Udacity courses on full stack web-dev in ~2 months. Really good though I have a CS background so I knew some of the concepts (haven't coded in 20 years though).

Hi HN!

Thanks!
Are you implying that yearly launches would reduce cost through economies of scale or something? Or just that JWST costs less than the F-35 program?

While having a Starship sized fairing to put JWST in for launch would probably reduce some packaging complexity, I'm not sure the launch vehicle is the major source of cost in this case.
Always interesting to see almost the exact same visualization independently appear and reappear over the decades.

This is really similar to a standard teaching visualization back in the late 90's-early 2000's (complete with stereo glasses). It was in turn sourced from mid-90's era SGI visualizations. I'm pretty sure it's older than that, as there are similar figures in a few papers and textbooks from the 80's, but I started doing all of this (i.e. visualizing geophysical data) in the early 2000's, so that's as far back as I really know.

I'm pretty sure I have a vrml or openinventor file of a near identical visualization around somewhere... Country outlines and all, with an optional "inner globe" so that you didn't see through to the other side. It used to be a standard demo that came with one of the stereo-capable VRML viewers that was commonly used in "geowall" setups. (Immersaview, maybe?)

Here we go... Things like this: https://www.evl.uic.edu/aspale/writing/immersaview-documenta... and specifically https://www.evl.uic.edu/aspale/writing/immersaview-documenta... (Side-by-side view is for dual-screen stereographic 3D setups - usually two projectors with different polarization filters focused so they overlapped. Obviously the webpage is static, but it gives a sense of what the desktop-based interactive visualization was like.)

Language, culture, regulation - it's not just a matter of reach.

Like, imagine a successful-at-home French startup wanting to expand internationally. First, unless you're happy staying in the confines of the old French Empire, you're gonna need to translate everything, definitely to English, maybe to German or Spanish. Second, your app is built with French attitudes in mind. Chances are you're gonna have to change that to adapt to American, British, German tastes, and that's a lot of redesign. Third, for every country you expand to, you have to comply with local rules and regs. The EU has helped here, but definitely not solved the issue.

Whereas in the US, not only have you got 330 million wealth consumers under broadly the same legal/cultural regime, but they practically all speak English too! That gives US startups a much more solid base to expand from. Hell, in Europe the UK is by far the biggest tech hub on the continent, and Ireland punches far above it's weight. Don't discount the advantages of language or culture even in a globalised world.
From the quote, I read:

"most people can end up miserably poor" == "ever-increasing inequality"

Which begs the question - is the misery of poverty due to the lack of access to important goods or services, or because of the relative wealth standing?
LOL yeah the US does the exact same thing.

I would pay to read a newspaper that (somewhat satirically) reported on the US the way we report on our adversaries. Complete with referring to police as "security forces", including wild speculations about the backstabbing behind-the-scenes of their top politics, etc.
Something basic that's missing from this tutorial is instrumenting Futures. The tracing crate (which I believe can export to an OpenTelemetry backend) has tracing-futures for this.

I find the current Nautilus search to be very powerful, especially in searching inside texts & PDFs. It certainly does a far better job than Mac Spotlight or Windows Search. Under the hood, I am pretty certain it runs an extended command with regexes
I don't think this is true anymore, having had experience in this space.

In the "bad old days," you could make a moderate (nothing like Silicon Valley engineer money) sum by selling exploits to modchip manufacturers, as they'd then use this to drive their hardware sales - pretty simple model. The last one of these I remember being particularly popular was the PS3 "True Blue" dongle.

These days, exploits aren't particularly useful to drive hardware sales as they're mostly hardware free. So there's not a ton of monetary value - yes, you could try to sell a "custom firmware" for a few months, but once the exploit is reversed, it's game over for your income stream.

Cheating is probably the only major revenue stream left in console exploitation, and as far as I know it's not popular enough to drive high prices for console exploits. Compared to phone exploits (wanted by nation-level actors and shady security firms for mostly evil purposes), ECU exploits (easier to protect and worth more per install), and PC exploit bug bounties, I think console hacking is pretty low on the lucrative scale, which is why so much more of it is done in the open.

Veering way off topic now, but Biden's only hope IMO is if the GOP runs Trump again. The Democrats may coalesce around hate for Trump, but otherwise will likely be crushed in 2024.

Also agree with your point about incestuous nature and quite frankly the self-owns Democrats do. Attacking other democrats who aren't woke enough, while the GOP is masterful at uniting the voter base around a couple key issues like abortion and guns (though the GOP has seen a bit of internal divide with Trump). Biden had an EV summit and only invited the top UAW staffed companies leaving out TSLA. Think what you want about TSLAs valuation and Elon, but how can anyone in the US have an EV summit and leave them out? Stuff like this is what sours middle of the road democrat voters. It's like the democrats want to lose elections.
It isn't hyperbole though. I have a gaming laptop here. Just opening the site in a new tab hanged my browser for nearly a minute.
I like this piece because I think it does a good job explaining the purpose of HATEOAS. The author is right that JSON can obscure its usefulness and HTML is a more familiar way to demonstrate it.

However, the author neglects to mention or is unaware of link relations, which can document and prescribe actions to take on a link just as "action" and "method" prescribe how a browser should submit a form.

Link relations can fix the <form> problem of JSON as a hypermedia format by prescribing the actions a client must take in order to follow a link. This is what the "action" and "method" of the form element do and these could be defined as target attributes of a "deposit" link represented with JSON.

The author is correct about pure JSON, but JSON-based media types like application/hal+json, JSON-ld, and application/vnd.api+json are very workable. Using these allowed my team to implement a decoupled React application with a JSON API back end. We used link relations similar to the banking example and our team was able to add and remove deposit-like links and add new buttons for previously unplanned operations without updating any JavaScript.

Full disclosure: I'm an editor of the JSON:API spec (i.e. application/vnd.api+json)
I don't love the old site, either.

But the new one is indeed a horror. I cannot wait to hate the way they ruin winamp, one of the all-time great programs.

It's heavily domain dependent IMO.

Leetcode only gets you pass the first round of interviews and not every company does them. I consider these useless textbook problems but you'll need them to get the job. They won't help you much in the job.

More importantly (imo) he needs domain specific knowledge. I.e. if it's going to be web development then he needs to start a web project with the backend in python. If it's stats/analysis he needs to start on analysis projects. Etc.

My advice is on making small projects that cover topics he'll be working on in the jobs he applies for to build a small portfolio. And brush up on the leetcode like a month before.

The html on this page also contains URLs that you will never click.

The real problem with HATEOAS for JSON APIs is that we have never built the proper client. With html, you can rewrite your entire website and the browser will happily render the new pages. When people start writing such a client for JSON, the JSON starts to look very similar to html.
