Low Java knowledge and more Fan babel rather than true critique.
It seems like you're conflating a few different concerns here:

- JSX as a paradigm for defining component display output

- Drag and drop capability for UI design

- How web apps are built tooling-wise

- The actual display layer being used (HTML, canvas, etc, or at least that's what I think I'm reading)

- Whether the browser is where these apps run at all (?)

Those are all entirely different questions and concerns. Which of these are you actually asking about?

JSX has been argued about since React was first introduced [0]. It exists because React tries to stay "just JS" and use JS logic for flow control, rather than having a completely separate templating layer. Some people love that, some people hate it.

Drag and drop for laying out an app exists - there's multiple projects out there that allow a very VB-like GUI design experience for React components.

Modern JS build tooling exists to solve the multiple problems I listed earlier: insufficient standard library, building full-size apps with tens of thousands of SLOC and large teams, and optimizing deployment bundle and asset sizes.

HTML and CSS are the native language of browsers. You can certainly use canvas/WebGL to draw pixels on screen (and that's what "compile-native-desktop-to-WASM" demos do), but you lose all the built-in accessibility of HTML, and still have to reinvent all the widgets from scratch.

As for "breaking free of browser constraints and web fundamentals"... well, we _are_ talking about still delivering code to run in a browser, so what other options are there?

I'm genuinely not understanding what you're trying to envision or describe here. You seem to have a particular vision or set of ideas - can you describe what you're picturing more specifically?

No, there's an absurdly minor difference. Plenty of "coffee stirrers" were intentionally manufactured as coke spoons, and plenty of earnest coffee stirrers were used instead as coke spoons.

McDonald's was obviously not intentionally trying to manufacture coke spooks for absolutely no conceivable gain, but I bet their packaging designers looked at a lot of random coffee stirrers and tried to make one that looked like the fanciest of those.

Cool. Get hung up on one aspect of the story (for no good reason) and ignore the broader economic and societal implications.

Funnily, I’ve just discovered it here: `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29314560`
The more you learn about the modern state of technology, the more horrified you become. I studied fields like cryptography and surveillance for a few years, and it's destroyed me. I show every symptom of a paranoid schizophrenic, but there's nothing that could ever treat me. The only way I could have stopped myself from becoming so horrified would be to never learn about it at all. This fear constantly permeates everything I do, everywhere I go and everyone I interact with. These days I border on completely socially dysfunctional, simply because I can't give my phone number to someone without having a mental breakdown.

If I could do it all again, I'd learn to love the earth and embrace naturalism. I might have a shot to live a truly fulfilling life, free from the neverending purgatory that we call the internet. But I've breached that contract with God, and my penance for such an affront is being stuck with knowledge I desperately want to forget. It really is true what they say, Ignorance Is Bliss.
It's ok, there's a replacement. Now you put your marquee in the URL bar.
The design would be first more-or-less worked out on paper, using various drafting tricks such as french curves or tensioned wooden strips.

This can then be translated to a series of full-scale wooden templates, either interlocking 2D sections, or 3D carved from solid. Alternatively, small diameter metal rods can be bent and welded together for a same purpose. Either technique allows a craftsperson to combine precisely formed 2D curves into a 3D shape. Small design changes would also be made at this stage, usually by eye rather than to a particular measurement. This full-scale reference model is called a body buck or in Italian "manichino."

Once you have the complete buck, craftspeople would shape flat aluminum panels into to fit on various sections of the buck. The craftsperson works iteratively until the shape is right, using tools such as an English wheels, bending brakes, mallets and sandbags as well as cutting tools like shears and hole punches.

Once the shape of each individual panel is correct, they are fastened to the car chassis by welding or a mechanical fastener like a screw. The appearance and surface of the body is still quite rough at this point, so there is an extensive manual finishing process before paint is applied. Panel gaps are adjusted, bulges and dents are tapped out with hammers, lots of sanding. Soft filler materials are applied to fill and smooth the body surface- we use "Bondo" for this now but back then they used a lot of lead. The "accurate" appearance of a final painted car body comes from this hand finishing process. However, accurate is a bit of a misonmer as even though the body may look smooth and shiny there are often a lot of geometrical imperfections and asymmetries. For example, headlights in slightly different positions, replacement windshields won't fit etc. For certain models, you can even use predictable "imperfections" in the bodywork to determine whether the body was replaced or majorly repaired at some later date.

This technique was in wide use in Italy (probably other places too, but idk) through the mid-1960s, at which time modern stamping processes became able to cheaply mass produce panels with much less manual labor. As this process is so labor and skill intensive, it's now a specialty. Even among auto body repair professionals, it's uncommon to find someone with the skill to shape large panels from scratch to a high standard.

If you're interested in this type of stuff, there's a great youtube channel called "cbrwatahiki"[0] where a guy uses manual techniques to reproduce aluminum car bodies in his garage. Language is Japanese but it's still possible to watch and learn a lot if you can't understand. While his methods are not quite the same as what a 1930s-50s era production shop would use, it still shows a lot of what is involved to fabricate a body based on a pattern.

Ask HN: What hardware/software do you recommend in a post-Adobe world?
I have been using a 2012 Mac-mini with a copy of Adobe Creative suite CS6 which was fine* for what I wanted to accomplish. I mostly use Photoshop and a little bit of Illustrator; I intend to learn InDesign as well one day…
The problems I have are the latest version of OSX no longer works with CS6 and running OSX Mavericks is getting more and more dodgy as it is no longer being updated with security updates and I don’t want to shell out the huge spondoolies to Adobe (and I don’t want to be tied into a software-as-a-service deal anyway).

*+ I am peed off with Adobe/Apple for never really sorting out a glitch in Photoshop CS6 see: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussio...

I am thinking of going back to Windows. I have a legit copy of Photoshop CS5 that still runs under windows 10 fine and to be honest I think Microsoft for all their sins are better at enabling you to use your old software that you have actually paid for on there new OS’s than Apple. I would probably buy a new Mac-mini if I could still use CS6 on it, but alas I am too peed off with Adobe/Apple right now.

I am thinking of shelling out on a New PC Rig instead and bighting the bullet and learning Affinity Photo and Design instead for the long term. I think this is goodbye OSX (pretty as you are) and Hello to Windows 10 dual booted with Manjaro -for giggles…

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I haven’t used GIMP for a while but last time I used it I didn’t get on with it (maybe I am a bit thick). I liked Krita a lot but it seemed a bit buggy- not complaining its free.

I am only designing like Youtube Thumbnails and the Odd poster doing a bit of WebDev HTML/CSS and that sort of thing.. I don’t work in the design industry or anything.

There have been studies that show certain people are far more susceptible to cocaine addiction than others. Same as with alcohol. But for most people, developing a problematic addiction seems very rare.

I found seated "sims" or games like Elite were fine for me, but anything that tried to replicate the FPS-style running around was a no-go. I guess it's even better in those arcade-style setups with moving seats to help replicate the feeling of movement and position seen with the eyes, but that's even more complicated than treadmills and such.

I think that for VR, the trick is to stick to experiences where your POV matches your meat-space position. Trying to shoehorn the conventions of flat-panel games into 3d VR either requires a lot of increasingly complex sim stuff or is just always gonna give you that mismatch between what you see and what you feel.

In that sense, I agree that AR is probably a lot more doable if you intend to be walking/running around.

> It feels like a huge trade-off of GCs is almost completely gone.

FWIW the tradeoff of low latency GC is usually paid in throughput.

That is definitely the case for Go, which can lag very much behind allocations (so if your allocation pattern is bad enough the heap will keep growing despite the live heap being stable, because the GC is unable to clear the dead heap fast enough for the new allocations).
What looks bad is having millions of people die and not learning how to prevent it in future. This should be a blameless post-mortem. Shit went wrong, this is how we fix it. Truth and reconciliation, not hide-behind-feels. The people who want to apportion blame grow stronger from all this cat and mouse.
The Lilliput project aims to address this: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/lilliput
Root cause analysis is almost always just blame-shifting and trying to find somebody to fall on the sword and accept culpability, and often as not, pay for the downtime/missed SLAs/etc...

Maybe there are some enlightened organizations out there that treat it as a learning opportunity, but I've never seen it from any of the Fortune 500s that demand a RCA from me when something derps up on their end.

> Check back for updates in December 2021 on how to use Firefox for iOS as your system-wide password manager.

It looks like they are working on integrating this functionality into the main Firefox apps, which makes more branding sense anyway. As it was the password management was just a feature of the browser on desktop, but a whole different product with its own brand name on mobile.
For the given command, if the assumption is the command failed recently, it's likely faster than bisect. You can start it and go grab a coffee. It's automatic.

I wish my usage of bisect were that trivial, though. Usually I need to find a bug in a giant web app. Which means finding a good commit, doing the npm install/start dance, etc. for each round.

It's an iterated game that they play a lot, and you play once, and they have no incentive to play fair. I'm glad some of them were named and shamed in this thread, though. Like, why would anyone take money from someone who has acted in bad faith many times in the past?

It reeks of unaccountable power and information asymmetry, two of my least favorite things.
I used to think Mission:Impossible 2 was ridiculous, now it's one of my favorites.
I actually agree with you. I just think that an IMF recommendation against using non-dollar-backed currency is hysterical, because of course they'd think that's a bad idea. They rely on adjusting inflation to exacerbate their own wealth, and when decentralized currency gets into the mix, it obviously complicates matters.

Cryptocurrency as a primary method of transaction is 31 flavors of Baskin-Robin disaster. That doesn't make it any less funny when the IMF is complaining about a loss of control.
It's kinda docs / PR / Look how great OUR solution is, not an unbiased piece...
i think your leg was being pulled.

that said, one of the first copy protection schemes involved writing specific sectors to a magnetic disk with an invalid checksum. when the program would start, it would verify that reading those sectors would return an error, but if you used a regular disk copy program it would not copy the invalid sectors- either resulting in an aborted copy or a copy that would zero out the bad sectors on the target which would not produce the expected read errors on startup telling the program it had been copied.

Thanks for asking. Things were too transient for me to seek neurologists. It could be very disturbed for two weeks and slightly come back a few days... Most GP thought I was exaggerating so I gave up.

Right now, it's somehow back. I don't operate keyboard at the same speed as I used to but I have normal finger sensations (I can sequence fine and subtle finger patterns without brain freeze, which is what made me feel so bad before). I assume it's mostly due to bike commute strengthening my cardiovascular system and brain blood flow (or maybe it's something different.. I have no scientific data)

I wish I had the input of a neurologist though.. I do have to see one next month but for something totally unrelated (dysmorphic hallucinations) I may ask her/him just in case if there's enough time.

within the country, you'd be committing a crime acquiring stuff using crypto. The cards are international but you're committing the act locally.

>use p2p local crypto exchanges: localcrypto, localmonero (in some countries this can be 100% anonymous by using the "withdraw from atm with 1 time code" bank services)

Will all be banned and illegal services. If it touches a bank you'll likely get extra charges on top for money laundering or similar.

That will be tracked by the government if legal, or illegal if not tracked.

"exchange on black market"

None of these things are solutions.

There's a trailer pretty prominently featured at https://arcane.com/en-us/ if anyone wants one.

> As of January 31, 2021, we had a total of 2,863 full-time employees. Of our employees, 714 were engaged in research and development. 122 full-time employees were based at our headquarters in New York, New York, and 727 full-time employees were based in Bucharest, Romania

And that's from January. What are your sources? You're very confident for someone contradicting their IPO documents ;-)

Plus you're moving the goalposts. I proved that more than 20% are in Romania alone (your own math says 28%), UIPath has other European offices. So it's entirely possible that around 50% of UIPath employees are in Europe. I'm too lazy to check.

My point is that UIPath was started in Europe and has a strong presence in Europe. The main development center is in Europe. The top management is European. It can't be considered a purely American startup.
Are you talking about IMF or Bitcoin?

More seriously, that's not what GP meant at all. GP's point is that IMF usually steps in only after a country managed to paint itself into a financial corner - at this point there's no "nice" solution any more, and you're guaranteed to deal with mass unemployment, people losing their life savings, inflation, and so on.

Of course the debate is ongoing whether IMF's proposed solutions are actually in the best interest of the countries on the receiving end, but you know, if they don't like the deal these countries can always refuse it.
