The Bizarre Cultural History of Saliva
Sure, eventually, culture will shift, and new classes of jobs will be created.

But that's not happening right now (see earlier comments about social legislation), and it won't in anything resembling "in time" to prevent more people from losing their jobs with no reasonable replacements (i.e. above-poverty line wages) in sight.

How does blocking such an in-video ad hurt the creator? If there's no JavaScript, there's presumably no way of tracking "views", right?

It seems like the only harm is that I won't see/click the ad. But I think anyone who runs an ad-blocker is already the sort of person who won't click ads. Even if someone advertises something I'm super excited by, I'll want to take a few days to research the product - and I'm not going to go dig up the sponsored link when I decide to buy in.

I graduated during the Great Recession and got a job as a case worker for soldiers and families in need with a defense contractor that paid <$30,000/year. I lived in the DC area, which is notorious for its high cost of living. So you can definitely make things work on a shoestring budget, even in a pricey area. I guess the question is does that make you "wealthy" if you don't have to work to earn that $40k.
Not sure about the snippet:

// when the DOM is loaded
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
// find every element with the class "close"
(document.querySelectorAll('.close') || []).forEach((closeButton) => {
const parent = closeButton.parentNode;
// and add a "click" event listener
closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
// that removes the button's parent from the DOM
parent.parentNode.removeChild(parent);
});
});
});

It'd be clearer without useless comments and useless extra code:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
document.querySelectorAll('.close').forEach((closeButton) => {
closeButton.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
event.target.parentNode.remove()
})
});
});

I'm sure there are clueless companies/managers that don't quite get it in infra land (and that are still great places/people to work for and products to work on) and if you find yourself in one of those situations, it's pretty rational to need prod if it's the only instance of your problem because of large divergences in the things you and the article mention. You're not wrong. But something that I've been a stickler on since our company's beginnings is that dev is really, as much as is feasible and useful, an exact copy of prod. And it's working so far. We have yet to scale to massive heights, I'll admit that. But it's a principle that I've seen more than a few companies simply neglect.
I don't think that's a new sentiment around here. Anything published by 37Signals and its founders used to be mandatory reading on HN, and they were all about small teams eschewing outside investors. Their Getting Real book was published in 2006.

This is nice for backup, but I would expect more downtime from your ISP than the big cloud platforms. Also, you might want a platform with anycast DNS if you care about (initial page load) latency.

They will ever play catch-up with platform capabilities and only offer a subset of the package.

BLM is a marxist terrorist organization that murdered 5 people in cold blood this week alone.

Donating to violent murderers implicates you in the murder itself. It is not appropriate for a "open source" programming language.
> As a replacement for "native" package management? No. Flatpak makes sense if you have a small number (< 5) packages that you want to run from upstream so you can always have the latest version while continuing to use your distro's native packages for everything else.

There are several "Linux" operating systems that use an immutable base image: Fedora Silverblue, Endless OS, purportedly Steam OS 3. The idea here is the distro packages are great for composing your base system, but once that is done, the entire `/usr` filesystem is frozen. You can upgrade it or roll it back atomically, and in some cases you can do some magic to apply smaller changes (Silverblue has a nice implementation with `rpm-ostree`), but distro packages are intentionally not a typical end user thing. In this kind of OS, the best way to install apps is using something like Flatpak. And that's very much what Flatpak is designed for.

So…

$ flatpak list --app | wc -l

Wow. For a long time I've felt like I see negative article after negative article about Facebook with little widescale response. This feels different. Not like every company will do this-- some will inevitably prefer the free marketing of social media platforms-- but it feels like pushing away from (at least some) social media is becoming really mainstream.

Personally, I'm with it. Feels like it's been a long time coming. I try to minimize my exposure to social media but I'm also old enough that I don't mind it much at all. I think it's the youth, girls especially, that are receiving the most exposure. And for many of them, the alternative in their minds is being socially ostracized. It's an awful situation to be in

Higlights from the Comments on Ivermectin
4 rpm is about as fast as you can spin to avoid vertigo when turning your head. So for 1g that requires a diameter of 56 meters (about the size of the leaning tower of Pisa), which is big.

Other challenges include how to spin it up (and down) safely, how to dock with non-spinning things, how to deal with changes in mass distribution, and how to put thrusters on it for use when it's spinning. None of these is impossible, but together they create a serious engineering problem, and the size of the whole thing is ultimately the dealbreaker.
That's great!

The atmosphere falls off exponentially (IIRC). No matter how high the wall is there will be some loss as energetic molecules reach the top of the wall and fall out of the side. But the loss would be very small for a wall that is 100km+ high as very few air molecules will be energetic enough to get that high.

According to the stackoverflow entry above, a 10km high wall on a ringworld would leak about half the atmosphere every century.

Obviously the wall would have to be airtight.

If the job is too big for one person, then yeah you probably break out into more specialized teams, but I don't see frontend/backend being too much for one person to understand and do good work on.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals for Developers, Techies, & Entrepreneurs
If you look at the most valuable tech companies today, most made it a significant way along the path without outside investment due to the financial position the founders were born into.

DanceSafe, a harm reduction focused non-profit, had this to say regarding the recent news about it:

"We've gotten a lot of inquiries about the recent Connecticut statement confirming the presence of #fentanyl in a lab-tested cannabis sample. This article breaks this down in a way that we align with, but we have some additional comments.

Regarding the issue of this lab report as a whole:
1. It is unclear why the lab report designates that the sample contained delta-9 THC, marijuana, and fentanyl. We are confused by the separate designation of delta-9 THC and marijuana, since THC is a component of marijuana (along with over 100 other cannabinoids). We will be contacting the lab to inquire further.
2. As elucidated in this article, the circumstances around this test are unclear and we are missing additional information. We are tentatively agreeing that this appears to be a confirmed report of fentanyl in cannabis, but we do not believe that this represents any sort of market trend at this time, and more information is required to determine how and why this might have happened.

Regarding this article, we have some disclaimers about language/content that we disagree with:
1. It is technically possible to "smoke" fentanyl. Fentanyl can be burned and destroyed in direct contact with flame, but it is feasible for fentanyl to be close enough to a flame to vaporize.
2. We're not happy about the choice to say "All it takes is one idiot who thinks it's a good idea to mix fentanyl in marijuana and we can have a cluster of overdoses." People have been speedballing all kinds of drugs for ages. This can be a risky behavior, but we still do not condone calling people idiots - especially when drug education has been made intentionally inaccessible and healthcare is prohibitively expensive and difficult to acquire.

Additional general notes:
1. If someone wanted to intentionally mix fentanyl into their weed, they'd most likely dissolve it in alcohol and spray it on, not just crumble a tiny and possibly lethal dose of it on top of a random part of a nug.
2. You cannot use fentanyl test strips on cannabis (or any other organic material). We are not concerned about fentanyl in cannabis at this time.
3. The risk of cannabis being contaminated with fentanyl remains astronomically low, if it exists at all. Until additional information arises, we can assume that there was indeed fentanyl present in this cannabis. For now, we don't know anything about the how or why.
4. Strong, harsh taste when smoking illicit market cannabis is most likely an indicator that you have picked up synthetic cannabis of some sort. Synthetic cannabinoids are sprayed onto potpourri and other plant matter. It is very unlikely that you would have smoked anything sprayed with PCP (which is virtually nonexistent in the U.S.), and nearly statistically impossible that you would be smoking something containing fentanyl."

This was inevitable, but rather than maintain the status quo or even introducing shrinkflation, they should have made the jump to 2 dollars. 1.25 is maintenance, and effectively we are still getting what a dollar used to get. 2 dollars would get us a bit more time (inflation is not going to stop) and the ability to introduce a (relative) more premium product assortment. I only mention this premium product range because the dollar stores near me now sell things such as headphones and phone accessories.

Most of what htmx does is a direct extension of the browser's capabilities. Some issues I can think of are

- maintaining the "accessible by default" nature of HTML

- swapping. htmx takes html from the server and uses one of innerHTML, outerHTML and insertAdjacentHTML to put it into the document, but it also does a whole lot more to avoid unexpected behavior. This would all need to be specified and implemented natively
I'm not getting the nesting argument here. At least in the early days, a window to space will be a key selling feature. That means that the surfaces will have greater value, like with skyscrapers, but worse. Worse because pressurization demands that surfaces bulge out to contain the atmosphere. So while a large sphere might be the best engineering solution, funny shapes held together by weird superstructures might be the most profitable option.

When we get into the more utilitarian phase of space development, then I think you would want something like shipyards where there really is a big micrometeorite shield (yes, as a sphere) with the inside filled with scaffolding. Robots scoot around do work with old and new hardware.

If you think about nesting ROTATING structure inside of other pressure-envelope structures, then you're getting into some really crazy stuff. Are there designs that might make sense? Maybe, I don't know, I guess I wrote a blog about it

That’s screaming for a remake. The original movie and TV series have been lost to time but the story is compelling and could easily be part of some procedrual drama with added flair today. Or even a 10 episode season on HBO with a grittier feel to it (more sour milk in other words).

Wirecutter is essentially just a glorified, prettified Amazon affiliate link aggregator anyway. I have tried so many of their recommendations - always making sure not to click the affiliate links directly - and been burned or at the very least disappointed more than enough times, that at this point I just use their site as a starting guide, and then make sure not to actually buy their recommended pick if at all possible.

Maybe, but it's still not possible that the Java test has a median latency of 150µs, a tail latency of 350µs, and a regular need to stop the world for hundreds of milliseconds. That statement is simply not compatible with reality.
But inlining will not cause better performance in every case, will it?

Don't look at individual politicians, look for the emerging trends in the political class.

The NYT has a century-plus history of pushing the defacto national narratives used by politicians - while they might not be openly backed by any federal interest, they are certainly stochastically willing to play along. Therefore, if they publish something like this, take notice, because it's most likely that some group inside the power structure wants it to now become a political issue as a part of a future economic framework. The current framework is in a failure mode and this fact is becoming increasingly evident at all levels - support for a radical change of some kind must be built and factions are emerging across various sides of the issue.

As the article notes, the last time four-day normalization was floated was the 70's, also a period with substantial labor unrest. The resolution ultimately arrived at then was to cut safety nets, taxes and jobs, clearing the way for investment in the productivity booms of the 80's and 90's. This time might be when the issue is campaigned upon, since the prior doctrine has already run its course and the signals are raining down from up high to attempt a green-energy "own-nothing" economy. The contra faction of this, of course, is also something Rick Scott is pushing - the "crypto economy." The actual outcome is likely to have a blend of both approaches, as is typical with political realignments. Four-day normalization could be compatible. We shall see.
Not much is still a dollar there, and they use that gimmick to charge people more than other stores anyway[1].

How death rates from Covid-19 differ between vaccinated and unvaccinated
It's a spectrum. Rust is further than Go in the direction of "strong type system", and somewhat lateral wrt Haskell, F# or OCaml, for instance (each is more strongly typed in different directions). Idris or Coq are further than Rust in most directions, etc.
I routinely get cold calls from recruiters, several a month these days. It's exceptionally rarely anyone I actually want to talk to with a position I'm even slightly interested in. They're reliably talking up a "great opportunity" that offers uninspiring hourly pay on an unimpressive contract-to-hire and requires I relocate myself to somewhere I have no other reason to want to be. Probably a third to a half of them are, based on the quality of the connection and speech patterns, calling from body-shops in a much poorer country.

I strongly suspect that there's a whole industry out there running on what amounts to amortized lottery odds. Since they're working from some place where people and calls are very cheap, they just throw more cold calls at everything.
