The safari change absolutely kneecapped content blockers. Ublock dropped it[0], and the remaining few providers, like AdGuard, have to do all sorts of trickery[1] to get even close to the same performance.

If you're going to argue this is better, don't point us to such a clearly worse result.

> For example, several of the next.js examples[1] use tailwind without explicitly stating so, because I guess it's just become a ubiquitous as css stylesheets or modules for some people

I used Bootstrap for years and give MDO major props. I learned Tailwindcss actually because it was starting to show up everywhere and many of the Next.js examples were using it. Now that I have used it I would say it changes how you think about css and styling - it gives you more power and more guardrails and it also then ships a smaller css load to the client. It was always a struggle to carve away the parts of Bootstrap you weren't using.

It wasn't just "defund the police", it was "abolish the police".

If your argument is that the police haven't been defunded or abolished, maybe your issue is with the mainstream media that were publishing arguments in favor of abolishing the police?

Have you considered holding them to account for that?
It's actually quite surprising to read such comment here.

So the excuse is that the police are allowing shootings and other crimes because they aren't motivated enough? Because they might be held to a higher standard? Because they might not get their awesome new toys? Stop treating them like children. I'm amazed when people will go to any lengths to excuse the police.
You're talking as a developer.

None of the exchanges influencing crypto is actually open about their business. Eg. They even try to fake audits as much as possible. Ponzi schemes, pump and dumps, fake code-audits that reveal 0day exploits at launch and other (sometimes insider) hacks everywhere! It really is a daily wild wild west show - https://rekt.news

I will never trust a currency, where malicious insiders can walk away anonymously with my money and blame it on a hack.
Exactly. The pre-IPO investors and employees will sell some of their shares now to take their profits in as retail now buys HCP at these prices, at a time of lots of uncertainty and 'fear' in the markets as of 9 Dec 2021. [0]

I'm expecting it to rise due to retail investor hype. I would avoid it for now at these prices at this time. We'll see after this period of uncertainty and after the lockup period expiring in 180 days after the IPO.

As a high school CS teacher, replit was a godsend.

Aside from letting us do an end run around the downtrodden IT department and their dreaded policies on new software, the screen sharing was a huge help for locked down classrooms where we had to remain distanced.

The product really came into its own for collaboration. Google Docs but for code. Let’s look at some Haskell? No problem. Need a quick graph? X11-VNC stuff worked its magic to give us matplotlib in seconds. The turtle graphics for the younger pupils was so fast too. Scratch is great but Python is better, not the least reason being that syntax errors are impossible in Scratch. Debugging and manipulating text are huge parts of learning the craft as they become teenagers.

Amazing technology plumbed together into a fantastic product. We didn’t pay a penny for it mind you — hopefully they have good sales connections to school districts with deeper pockets than ours.

Even if their sole revenue comes from 100$ of teacher training a year, that’s $500M ARR (4M teachers in the US * 20% are teaching something akin to core CS * a global market that is 5x the size of the US.)

They could grow to 300 employees and that’s still pretty good revenue, but I’m waving my hands a lot on these numbers.

(Nit: I wish I could git pull and push to my account of 1000+ repls.)
Maybe that's their point, but it's not convincing if it's using made-up information, which is my point.

The inflation argument is not very convincing to me either. Both of those measures (inflation, budget) are objective facts that are absent from the article. Also "police budgets not quite keeping up with inflation is causing chaos in my neighborhood" is not very convincing.
While I don't disagree, it's beyond ironic that if the funds were spent on water in the first place (rather than weapons) then there would be no need to kill each other.
I see you're also still paying for your fluent understanding of sarcasm.
The fact one of the main characters is a North Korean escapee who is desperately trying to get the rest of the family over to south korea is probably a big reason.

The concern about http over https is that a bad actor can intercept and change traffic.

If you allow self signed certificates, anyone who can MITM traffic can masquerade your site just like with http

Self signed does however stop passive fibre taps - to intercept you need to MITM.

There then the “remember this cert” option. If I visit www.selfsigned.com on a secure network, my browser remembers the certificate. If I then travel to another network with a MITM, my browser can flag up a warning. This is how SSH works.

However I’m not too concerned by SSL certificates as a centralised point - my browser trusts dozens, probably more than 100, root certificates. That’s not centralisation.
You're being rational -- that doesn't apply to the given scenario.
q3k has mentioned metallb+bgp, which is basically in-cluster implementation of LoadBalancer Service type (bgp speakers are running on k8s nodes and announce /32 routes to nodes based on configuration), but it doesn't provide an answer for "stabilizing" ecmp connections when there are changes to backends.
There has to be something "behind" metallb[1] that will handle not only stable hashing for connections, but keep forwarding "in-flight" flows (like established tcp sessions) to correct backends, even if packets arrive on different ingress nodes. It seems cilium has some solution for that[2] (by both bundling metallb, and having maglev-based loadbalancer implementation) but I haven't had time to dig into it, so I was curious if someone else has solved it and would be willing to share stories from the front. This is one of those rough edges around kubernetes deployments in bare metal environments and I'd love to see what can be done to make it more robust.

[1] metallb only really announces IPs so that "behind" is probably just CNI that actually handles traffic

The problem with “latest from X” is that there’s such a wide perf gap between the latest budget device and the latest high perf one.

I also got irked by their comparison to old baseline gpu perf. Everyone knows intels integrated gpu is terrible, so comparing to that is pointless.
If you like these scenarios I strongly recommend "Le Chant du loup" (The Wolf's Call) (no spoilers...). Awesome French movie.

This is just an attempt to rehash the same old arguments provided by Google that have been repeatedly debunked by developers and security researchers.

I'm doubtful about a person's ability to speak for themselves, when they have been consistently defending their employer on HN for years, at every occasion they got.
The article is not exactly well written. I don't really follow web developments anymore because the web, well, sucks; So, after reading, I'm still not even sure what "manifest v3" is about and why I should care.

I know websites track me. I know I get tons of ads. I know websites popup questions about cookies. I know they play videos that follow me around when I scroll. I know sometime in the past that shit would've been under my control. But I suppose I have rose-colored glasses on and that's just the way it is. After all, I remember blink tags.

I don’t believe this argument. The dollar amount was $400 previously. Most shoplifting was already under $400 and I’m being asked to believe, from unreliable sources, that changing it to $950 alone changed things?

The slogan is bad because it channels the energy initiated by real problems into the worst idea possible. True, in many - though not all - cases this terrible idea was recognised as such even by the woke city managers and kept at the level of bloviating without doing much. That's still bad and the slogan still bad, and the opportunity wasted still bad. Not as bad as when this idea is actually implemented (not in Oakland but happened in other places afaik).
I mean a self-certain integral circular motion which presupposes necessary agreement with itself (its relation to every position of its continuum of movement) and therefore has the potential for mechanical extension of its unity or "oneness" with other harmonies - in other words, positively amplified resonance.
Yeah, it flies in the face of conventional wisdom and I think that bothers a lot of people. It’d be like if a new JS library came out that said you should make every variable a global.

And just for the record I like Tailwind :)

Except police budgets have been increasing for decades, and the amount of crime has as well.

The biggest problem is every time there’s any suggestion that maybe the police aren’t actually doing a good job, police stop working and then blame any change in crime of lack of money.

This is ignoring the non-theft crime caused by police (pedofile ring in Oakland PD, fraud, murders, etc). they also change their reporting of crimes to inflate or deflate the rate of crime as necessary.

Hell they’ll even create their own crime wave if necessary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Boston_arson_spree

Despite being the most significant cause of theft in the US.
So clicked the link, was presented with that useless cookie page. Begrudgingly accepted because really, I go there so rarely I don't really care.
Then it was "Ho, do you want to be notified of..." beeeeeeeep no I don't go the F away. I still haven't READ anything yet mind you....

Hmm sorry, what was the link I clicked on about, can't remember already - poof delete tab.
No offense taken, I myself conceded "this is totally unscientific" and noted that large cities tend to be democratic. The crime statistics are per capita, but again, you would still expect larger cities to have higher crime rates.

Edit: Actually, I was surprised to find that the cities with the highest populations didn't necessarily have the highest per capita crime. Compare Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York to Detroit, Baltimore, and Kansas City. The latter are all smaller but have higher per capita crime.

Also, to control for size somewhat, I compared cities in the dataset with population between 390K and 500K (6 democratic cities / 6 republican). Again, dividing in half by per capita crime rate, 5 of 6 top crime cities are democratic, and 5 of 6 low crime cities are republican. The ordered list for anyone curious (low to high crime) is: Virginia Beach
Mesa
Colorado Springs
Omaha
Sacramento
Miami
Atlanta
Wichita
Tulsa
Minneapolis
Oakland

Ask HN: Downside of wrapping a JavaScript game in Electron?
I want to make desktop games and I find it incredibly easy to make 2D games in JS using PixiJS or Phaser.

My plan was to simply make the game in JS and wrap it in electron and sell it on Steam (I have no intention on publishing the game as a web game because people don't pay for them). However too few people are doing this so I'm wondering if there are downsides to this approach?

Usually people use Unity, Godot, Unreal or their own framework made in a statically compiled language like Java (LibGDX), C# (Monogame), etc...
NREL has some decent material on LCOE calculations.

Amortized capital cost would be a function of upfront cost, lifetime (years), cycles (and per cycle efficiency over time), capacity factor (e.g. average drawdown of the batteries per cycle), and discount rate.

If one has a software background, it might be easier to just to simulate 10 years of cycles to figure out how many kWhs come out of the battery bank per year. Adjust by a discount factor (cycles today pay more in real dollars than cycles in 10 years), and divide the upfront cost by that number.

From what I've heard this doesn't really represent the on the ground reality of NK. From what I've read, thumb drives of South Korean media are rampant and pervasive in NK for those rich enough to have something to play it on which is seems like some substantial portion(wild guess 20-30%) of the population.

So I'd imagine most of those people have seen squid game. This just seems like more of a good headline to get to reference squid game and NK together and pick a specific example of some guy getting caught.
That's actually pretty wide. A popular rate for DVB-S2 is 333 ksyms/s or 400 kHz with 0.2 rolloff.

In cold climate regions solar power can't heat houses.

If talking about individual houses, not condos, most economic solution is a two-stage water heating powered by a wood pellet or gas burner, where the second stage has a 3-5 ton water tank as a heat storage, so that the burner doesn't need to run continiously. This is a proven, simple, maintainable and safe solution.

We're talking ~50-150kW thermal power here. Solar can not reach that.

Tangentially related: How is XPS 17 doing? I've been pondering the idea of getting one, but have been scared away by some internet reputation (like not working sound, unstable wifi, etc.) Would love to hear second opinions like yours.
I see what the problem is now.

The thing you're asking for is too reasonable and the reason it hasn't happened is political corruption.

Because the reason the police have military vehicles isn't because anybody thought it was a good idea. It's because companies that make military hardware lobby for funding for law enforcement to buy their products. So you say "police don't need MRAPs" and everybody says "no kidding" and there is no debate to be had because there is no one really defending it. There is no controversy to cover, no story, because what are you going to say? Everyone we interviewed thought this was stupid?

Then you turn around and it's happened again because some Congressperson needed some campaign contributions they could only get by sticking that funding into the omnibus bill.

And of course anything that would actually reduce the need for police, and therefore their number, would be fought hard by police unions.

The best solution I can come up with to problems like this is the double ox goring. Police unions are Republican things, so if you want to get something that benefits the public at their expense, find some thing that benefits the public at the political expense of the Democrats (e.g school choice), and then do them both together so it cancels out. In other words, so you can pass it with 60% of Democrats and 60% of Republicans instead of 100% of either party.
It's been studied extensively and the research overwhelmingly shows that more generous welfare policies are associated with lower levels of crime.

My guess is that homes have familiarity and owners and long term renters know what they're getting into. I've stayed at an AirBnB which was so heavily divided it probably would've been illegal in the US. (Long, dark, narrow hallways; sudden unmarked steps; no fire alarms; shoddy and confusing locks.)
Hey ffournier

I felt that I wanted to write this and provide feedback.

Firstly, I want to commend you on your momentous achievement, not a small undertaking that's for sure.

My thoughts, first impressions are everything.

The homepage I think can use a lot of love, perhaps gifs that demo your product, use cases etc.

My biggest shock was looking at the pricing page.

To a new user, that confused me thoroughly. What's a data point, how much data do I need, what does a session mean, is it in the context of a connection, or something else.

I believe your target audience to be non developers, as that's a no code thing. From an organisation perspective, they aren't technical.

To this, I want to suggest something, can you simplify your pricing model somehow.

Sliders are confusing, pricing from dragging sessions to 1000 is scary high.

Philosophy should be Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)

Once you get people signing up, that's biggest hurdle. You don't want to lose those clicks.

Thank you! I'll dig through this when I get the time.
You are asking a silly question. Jeeze, maybe it isn't the best comparison, maybe I should have been more specific. The point you are asking about in no way affects my larger point so who cares. You harping on it is just weird.
Nice Microsoft paid piece
It is very clear, i think, to anyone that has been paying attention, that the purpose of the intelligence agencies meddling in home affairs has always been to destroy any populist movements and to push for elitist control over society (left and right means nothing to these people). This goes back to Hoover at the FBI (and maybe further).

If you know anything about the last 200 years or so of history, you know that there is some merit to this as just about every evil and murderous regime to exist used populist paths to power. However, any reading of history also makes it clear that once in power these same murderous and corrupt regime used these exact same clandestine powers to crush populism and ensure their continued power.

I find in very hard to take it on faith that intelligence agencies are trying to do the right thing rather than just protecting the corruption that has enabled the ill gotten power and wealth of themselves and the political class which they serve.
A note on the comments, if meta-discussion is allowed:

Seeing a lot of unchecked and unexamined confirmation bias despite the complete lack of evidence presented in the article or anywhere else that there is any kind of causal relationship here. Many commenters here on HN are self-aware but in the grass we can find hiding those who paradoxically fetishize rationality despite continually falling into fallacy traps.
I know it's just a rant, and I'm assuming that you need some specific software for the job, but both of those OSs are ancient in terms of hardware support. Maybe the HWE stack gets it going, but maybe it breaks other things too.

The Linux kernel containing the drivers as the distribution model is usually seen as a good thing, but it's also a huge downside when it comes to these problems. There's just no easy way to get a new GPU driver onto an older OS (except Nvidia). Any WiFi card that isn't Intel is probably going to be a fun time.

16.04 is ~ 5 years older than the hardware. 18.04 is still ~ 3 years older than the hardware.

For example, the 3500U in my ASUS laptop still had problems in 20.04. That's an older CPU/GPU but much newer OS.
