Man, Svelte / SvelteKit is amazing.

Svelte components run super fast (no virtual DOM), have tiny build sizes, stellar interactive documentation, and the developer experience is fire. Svelte was also just voted the #1 most loved web framework in the 2021 Stack Overflow developer survey (it beat out React, Rails, Django, Spring, Laravel, etc ): https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#section-most-...

I've also really been loving SvelteKit which isn't even out of beta yet.

Things I like about SvelteKit:

- It removes all the annoying front-end/back-end plumbing you have to do in every app. Backend APIs, JS/TS, HTML, and CSS just work together with no configuration.

- I can use JS/Typescript throughout the entire stack

- File-based routing is a dream — I never have to search through code to figure out how to edit a page!

- SEO-friendly and performant server-rendered routes with client-side hydration

- Static generated pages you can specify individually (you can include the marketing site and app in the same bundle!)

- Optional client-side routing for really fast app-like UIs

- Tiny bundles and fast performance thanks to Svelte

- The dev experience is an absolute delight

I love it so much I decided to package up and release a template with all the stuff most apps these days typically need: user auth, admin dashboards, etc: https://www.sveltesaas.com/

Can't wait till SvelteKit hits 1.0!
I’d encourage you to rethink whether the “all” you describe is desirable. I couldn’t care less whether an app is consistent across platforms - in fact I consider that a strict negative since apps should be consistent with the platform on which they are running not with themselves on other platforms.
Leetcode taught me that the vast majority of engineering problems are rote, and to think of the algorithms and data structures as the primary "Legos" (building blocks) of each task. Besides understanding the algorithms that best represent the problem, the only hard task really is understanding what the customer is trying to accomplish via the proxy of a Product person.

To me the really interesting part of engineering is educating Product people and customers about what computers are best suited to do and to rethink problems in systems of cheap tasks less than trying to fit arbitrary human centric processes (ie, a process that works for humans, but maybe isn't the best fit for a computer). Once we have a really clear agreement of the goal, it then fun to find a way to optimize a computer doing it.

A really simple analogy might be long division[1] -- if you implemented the long division algorithm on a computer you'd waste a ton of LoC, when you (usually, w/ certain caveats) can usually just use a division instruction. Sounds trite, but you'd be surprised how often I see product people, and even "Senior" engineers, just blindly copying a 10 to 100 step algorithm because that's how the humans do it, missing that the problem can be decomposed to a few general patterns and then iterated, recursed, map/reduced, faster when batched etc.

Often times these simpler computer centric algorithms also lead to much simpler code (for each do something simple), vs human centric algorithms often lead to big if/ifelse/else trees or code that does all of the tasks iteratively instead all of _one_ task for all items.

Indeed! That's a good point. If it uses a linear regulator, I guess the thing would produce quite a bit of heat when drawing power from the USB ports - the extra energy would just be converted into heat.
BTC is about 0.5% of worldwide energy: https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index/comparisons

So close to Sweden.

Ethereum is much less, closer to Senegal in energy use.
I like that there are two of us who liked computers from a working-class background that went into librarianship as an alternative, though you're before my time.

I was a working-class girl and there was a lot of emphasis on picking a stable career as the one in my family most likely to 'succeed' (because that stability would let me help my family). Since I started college after the dot-com bust, computers were 'risky'.
This is less a technical recommendation and more of a fundamental one, but I always recommend that people read The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt when they're first getting into manufacturing. It is a high-level overview of the principles of effective manufacturing at various scales.
Ask HN: Why is Markdown considered “faster” than WYSIWYG
See see this sentiment a lot.

For some context: I use Obsidian for maintaining my zettelkasten, and feel fairly proficient in basic Markdown writing. I enjoy it, and I can see some of the benefits to having this as the base for a document. However, I often see people causally referring to Markdown as a faster way to type, or somehow more efficient way of writing than WYSIWYG. I'm confused by this.

The argument I see online is that writing platforms like Google Docs, etc. require you to use your mouse. As a writer and author of long works, I've used Docs for years. For the vast majority of formatting that takes place in writing (bold, italics, M-dashes, etc), these are all keyboard shortcut commands. Quick and easy to do. Headings as well. And, while you can achieve these in Markdown sometimes in the same way (ie command + B for bold), the pure markdown approach of asterisks, underscores, etc seem waaaaay more clunky. Not to mention Obsidian's weird autofill on () and "" where God forbid you want to go back and add either, you're left with deleting excess autofills and the like.

So, what am I missing. Is Markdown not really for long-form writing? Is it another case of "here's something that really great, not for every scenario, but let's pretend like it is."?I trust the sentiment of faster and more convenient is true. But, I'm just not seeing how. Can ya help me understand?

Edit: Could it be that I'm conflating Obsidian's interpretation of markdown with the markdown as a whole? Since Obsidian is my primary use case....
Well they're definitely very different technologies too, and the things that you mention, in that specific context, are what the web was actually designed to do well. Basically, the web is purpose built for digital publishing. This is really good for content, as it allows the publishers to update the content and leave the client relatively the same.

Your example of an <img> is a perfect one. Yes, if all the images are going to be loaded remotely, I would say this is a client/server messaging paradigm, and one that excels in digital publishing.

However, if you're going to build an app (which is what we're talking about), then you are probably going to want to store the app's images in one giant executable... which means all the caching and everything you want is going to be extremely fast, probably much faster than what the browser will do for the same task.

If you really want to understand what I mean, just ask yourself "what is the life-cycle of a web app", e.g. what is the "main" method? Are there clearly defined transitions between views? What is the execution/memory model?

When you answer those questions you realize that the browser was built to display pages of text and images, loaded by a server. From there it should be clear why people don't think there's any comparison when it comes to building apps, because one was designed for it and the other inherited that responsibility.

I'm not saying web development as a paradigm isn't popular, but I'm arguing against it being easier than native because it's not really. However, if you wanted to add like a digital publishing component to an app, I'd just embed it into a web view, which is the best technical choice.

I get the same fulfillment (without all the work) by being extremely close with cousins and siblings with children. It's really fun and fulfilling being the "cool uncle" - but having one of my own 24/7? No thanks, hard pass!

It's what I do. I bought a used LG Gram 17" with 24 GB of RAM about 18 months ago I think. Ultra lightweight (I think it's the lightest 17" laptop that exists) and I've got zero issue under Linux. It may not be as good as the Mac M1 I also own but it is lighter, has more RAM, works fine with Linux and cost me only 400 EUR (granted, that was a good deal back then).

For a laptop running Linux I never buy the latest of the latest.

About me:

I am a full-stack web developer (React, Typescript, Node.js) and ex-founder (built 2 startups in SaaS and healthtech).

I have over 6 years of experience in building and shipping end-to-end products. I have worked for big tech companies and startups, gaining a broad range of experiences. During my time as a founder, I learned to wear multiple hats, which has helped me become a multifaceted engineer.

My issues with Thinkpads:

- They seem to be getting worse for repairability and build quality with each new generation. Everyone who raves seems to be running older generations (yours is comparatively not too old).

- Trying to buy new is an exercise in frustration because of their ridiculous pricing. Either get gouged outside a sale paying a huge premium over competitors, or wait for the right sale and get a competitive (but not cheap) price.
It's also not clear what this algorithm has to do with quantum physics. Maybe that's how it was discovered or it has applications to physics, but the algorithm itself doesn't require any advanced math or have anything to do with the wave function. It can be described using elementary combinatorics.
…wait, im seeing in here that they plan to add 4,000 new homes to addresss homelessness. Given the real estate pricing of SF it makes sense it would be expensive as fuck. Why are folks mad at SF govt? They should be mad at landowners for price gouging on rent.

Well, the security report itself talks about suspected cases (Verdachtsfallmeldungen in German), so I guess it's fair to call them that:

> In 1.919 Verdachtsfallmeldungen wurde über einen tödlichen Ausgang in
unterschiedlichem zeitlichem Abstand zur Impfung (0 Tage bis 289 Tage)
berichtet.

Also note that not every death after vaccination is reported, you need to fill a document with your symptoms [1]. So these are indeed very much suspected cases of adverse side effects / deaths.

Nope - you can discriminate legally if you cohabit your home.

"are individual bedrooms within an apartment a “dwelling” protected by the Fair Housing Act? The court gave its answer on February 3rd, and the answer was no: the Act does not protect roommate searches."

" The home is the center of our private lives. Roommates note our comings and goings, observe whom we bring back at night, hear what songs we sing in the shower, see us in various stages of undress and learn intimate details most of us prefer to keep private…. [two paragraphs omitted] “Liberty protects the person from unwarranted government intrusions into a dwelling or other private places. In our tradition the State is not omnipresent in the home.” Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558, 562 (2003).

Holding that the FHA applies inside a home or apartment
would allow the government to restrict our ability to choose
roommates compatible with our lifestyles. This would be a
serious invasion of privacy, autonomy and security.

For example, women will often look for female roommates
because of modesty or security concerns. As roommates often
share bathrooms and common areas, a girl may not want to
walk around in her towel in front of a boy. She might also
worry about unwanted sexual advances or becoming romantically involved with someone she must count on to pay the rent.

An orthodox Jew may want a roommate with similar
beliefs and dietary restrictions, so he won’t have to worry
about finding honey-baked ham in the refrigerator next to the
potato latkes… Taking away the ability to choose roommates with similar dietary restrictions and religious convictions will substantially burden the observant Jew’s ability to live his life and practice his religion faithfully. The same is true of individuals of other faiths that call for dietary restrictions or rituals inside the home."
Try to think of it from the African American plaintiff view and anyone that has a confirmation they would encounter a worse experience for baseless reasons. The plaintiffs sued in Oregon, and got a settlement. They only going to travel to Oregon?

Many jurisdictions, including the federal government have similar laws. The challenge of the law itself never reached a judicial conclusion, so if AirBnB was willing to settle there, it was either because they thought it was a pretty solid law, or they made a cost benefit analysis to settle. If the latter, then the same is true other places. But instead they are making a harder business decision to resist changing anything, just to spin it as being an ally to marginalized customers.

This is a puff piece for a technology that AirBnB could roll out anywhere randomly across any population for the A/B test. Its harder for them to geofence this, harder for them to spin this, as opposed to just doing the normal software rollout strategy.

So that’s why. Think about it from the affected plaintiff or customers perspective.

Yes, sure, potentially roll it out after this “experiment”. But this is yet another example of why representation matters. This wouldn’t have even gotten greenlit this way if there were more decision makers familiar with this segment of the population by living it.
We had an NES growing up, and the copy of Dragon Warrior III we had erased my game when I was 80% of the way done with the game (I was 4; getting that far on my own was an accomplishment that took weeks and I was very upset).

Any bias in your hiring is also a needless waste of talent that you should have hired but didn’t. And that has been going on for quite a while, and hurts you, the candidate, and society as a whole.

That said, I wouldn’t blank out schools and employers. Discrimination by school and employer may or may not be wrong for the business. But those aren’t protected categories.

The problem is that those institutions aren’t perfect in their hiring/accepting either, and some initial mistake by the college is propagated and amplified by subsequent decisions deferring to it.

No idea how to solve this. Maybe the data could be coded into some numeric or ordinal value. I bet the actual terms like “Harvard” and “MIT” are more impressive than a completely equivalent abstraction such as “Ivy League” or “top tier”.
The problem is that you will spend more time tweaking machines than getting any work done.

Arguably that's like observing that the same feature works differently in 2+ POSIX OSes and blaming devs for it. It's the job of the OS people to make correct, or at least consistent, platforms.

If you're writing Hello World for fun, then sure. But _I_ won't be using any of your software if it's that bloated. I'm not going to even complain to you about my internet connection or hard drive space or personal preferences. If you are not going to respect my resources as a dev, I will not use your software. Just like I won't ride with a cabbie who curses and cuts off other drivers.
let's see

- language: ES / Typescript are quite established

- CSS: also quite established

- Frameworks: there is still a lot of innovation here, but also React / Vue / Angular are quite established.

on that latter part I prefer the innovation. Let's just imagine for a while what UI would look like if we only had Swing (Java) or QT (C++)
This seems like a perfect use case for wild card certs, especially if you have internal sites on a different (sub) domain from your prod servers. Yes, multiple servers have the same private key, but when the alternative is self-signed or no encryption, that is an easy trade off for me.

Quantum decoherence may give you a diagonal density matrix but you still need to "collapse" that to a single outcome in some way or another.
To make my point more concrete in terms of your example, the benefit would be something like:

Let's say Iceland has some natural advantage in fishing, because of the great fish around there. But, because our world violates the law of one price, it's instead of profitable to smelt aluminum there instead of fishing[2], and the world is deprived of the utility gain from the fish captured and shipped[1].

But then, once the world obeys "one energy price", the smelting doesn't make sense and they go back to fishing (while the imported crypto miners sop up the extra energy).

[1] hopefully with sustainable management

[2] They still fish there, today and in the hypothetical, but probably much less than the optimum.

>>Testing on Chrome would save you from accidentally using Chrome-only features, but that's only part of the problem,
>How?

Sorry I meant "Firefox" and "Chrome-only" there.

In general though it's not like Firefox is spec compliant and others aren't, pretty much every browser works a little different in some areas. Just for the sake of saying something verifiable: no browser is spec compliant because the spec mandates a precise maximum length for strings and each main browser has a different, arbitrary (= I have the RAM, they just won't let me use it), lower limit on that.

That's my experience too. Honestly I don't think people are going to upgrade their Framework laptops much. And while they're popular now, it's still likely they'll stop producing parts (assuming the standard for each component isn't completely free to copy). Then you're out of luck.

But the real huge win is replacing broken components easily. That alone is making the Framework extremely tempting for me.
