Puppeteer and Playwright did a lot for the industry, but we feel the times have changed. We develop software very quickly, and it's changing a lot, which means we need a tool that can handle the changing era. In DevOps, QA should be able to develop and maintain end-to-end tests quickly. Shift left testing is all about that. Programming tests are very costly, time-consuming, and exhausting. There is a reason why only up to 6% of us do QA/testing (according to the StackOverflow survey https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survery/2021#developer-ro...) in the long term is boring and repetitive. These are reasons to create something new, and that's why we built https://bugbug.io. I'm very open to your opinions and ideas!
why not? so they aren't using webassembly correctly? who is a better example and why?
So this would imply that myopia must be much more widespread in northern countries than in Asia, which I believe is not the case.
Do people go shopping on Friday night? Not sure that is prime time.
Clean code is code that does what you expect it to do without many surprises. It is simple, not clever. Effortless to follow. Each part handles one idea at a time, at the same abstraction level. Doesn't force you to mentally juggle many balls at the same time.

The code often tells you a story, it communicates how the programmer (author) described the problem, the solutions and the trade-offs. Very similar to writing.

Maybe it is a vague term. But it is not an excuse to write "bad" code. Perhaps every team need to have a "definition of clean code" for themselves.
"40 years ago" is very relevant, too. Everyone is wound so tight these days. There's no such thing as a harmless nerdy prank anymore.
Ask HN: Why is the new M1 Pro 14“ taking so long to deliver
Recently ordered the Apple M1 Pro via apple.com/ca.
This is after checking a physical store where they said they don't have the 32GB memory configuration in-house.

Apple initially gave few days estimate to deliver it. They later reached saying the delivery would now be three weeks :-/

I wonder what's with the 14" M1 Pro 32GB RAM config :-?
In any case, developers should get out of their nerd bubbles a little more. YES there are metrics that exist outside our field, but no, we gotta follow these outdated gurus who havent coded in a while, fetish-size complexity, come from a background incomprehensible to you and still stuck in old ways.

What are these metrics you ask? Here's a suggestion:
The number of neurons in your brain that light up in response to dissecting a codebase. Because you get frustrated when everything seems important, (something that happens when you dissect hardcore DRY-ish code).
> I don't care what the lab studies show. Masks don't do shit in schools.

According to the article, studies have said very little in a way that controls for variables. There haven't been great studies showing their effectiveness. The Bangladesh one said surgical masks were "modestly effective." Not that it matters. Omicron is so contagious masks are well past their usefulness.
People are in here talking about how young kids don't wear masks correctly, but are they actually any worse than adults at it?

When I go out and see people "wearing masks" I frequently wonder if I'm in some alternate universe science fiction story where everyone on earth has been infected with a stupidity virus or blasted with brainwave-dampening radiation. Surely there must be some explanation for the people removing their masks to cough or talk or leaving their nose uncovered or wearing the mask so loosely that you can literally see their nose and mouth when they look down at something. Same goes for social distancing, hand washing... anything really. Any time there is a procedure, it seems that the average adult will fail to follow it correctly.

I'm pro mask-wearing because the reasoning makes sense to me, but I don't for a second think that we can meaningfully ask the general public to do anything more complicated than "stay home," which they refuse to do but at least understand.
Jesus, I can't read this, it's too much. Poor guy. I wish him all the best.
I could have specified. "recent versions" ;)
Some discussion of this vision therapy approach at https://gettingstronger.org/2016/03/faq-for-vision-improveme.... It requires an investment in learning, self-testing and feedback loops, since vision varies slightly with environment and time of day. Online sales of eyeglasses has made this more practical. It works for many, but not all, reasons unclear.
In the US here... and I think that the notion of asking for help after a purchase is not evenly distributed here.

I am used to figuring things out, but I did ten years of corporate tech, I got paid to provide that support for the employees of my employer. It was my responsibility to get their things working. So I got used to calling for vendor support, usually a support contract, and just got used to working the problem with whatever help we needed, within budget limits. This was in the 20th century.

But my extended family, they wouldn't dream of such things. They figure if you call for help, it's just going to be more people trying to get money out of you, like everyone is trying to fool everybody else. They just buy the cheapest thing they can get, then if it doesn't work they either take it back to the store for refund or they give it up as a bad job.

I will come to Russia some time, buy a cheap laptop and take it home and use it for a week, then bring it back to the store for a refund because it doesn't work. How will that conversation go?

We could put the video up on the YouTube. :-)
Git-extras: utility scripts for Git (repl, summary, merge-repo,...)
Preach it. I feel like you took the words right out of my mouth. I left my last job because I couldn’t keep sitting and listening to the bullshit about how everything had to be built the same, citing “uncle Bob” every.single.day… coerced into long, drawn out PRs that oscillated between “I don’t like how much you’re changing, can you break it up?” to “what’s the reason for this change?” — lol you literally asked me to break it up. I dunno wish them the best, but god that place was a drag. I knew it was a red flag when I logged into the rabbitmq cluster and immediately notices there was no TLS and when I tried to talk about it I got waved off and asked what was assigned to me, 3 months later I open a 2 line PR and the shadow architect goes “wait, we’re not using TLS?” “Nope” “did you mention this before?” “Yep” SMH
There is nothing thin or veiled here, afaics.
And yet, everyone will agree:
void dothing1(Args..){...}

//old version of dothing1 the programmer keeps around to copy code from later
// which should never be used
void dothing1_backup(Args..){...}

is not clean.

People often strive for explicit and complete inclusive definitions for concepts better defined by what they are not. The former is more powerful when it applies, but the latter case is much more common.

I’ve been to a number of converge shows and followed Andrew WK as I liked his childish optimism and fun persona when contrasted with the more morbid and aggressive stuff. They both put on amazing show experiences.

This project, being based out of Detroit/Michigan makes it seem like it could be an Andrew wk project. He’s well versed in absurdity and image creation. It always surprised me how Andrew wk was in target commercials. The fact that the armed is mentioned in a ford ad makes sense.

I’ve never heard of this band before this post and about to go down a rabbit hole.
Brother oh brother, if I could downvote you for a substanceless comment that adds nothing to the discussion I would.

Technically, practically, literally, hyperinflation has never been reached by Argentina. Their economy is in bad shape. But it won't go down in the record books like countries that have experienced hyperinflation.

So gp adding in keywords to look like he knows what he's talking about but being a scale of magnitude off doesn't help his point.

Edit: Let me spell it out like this as I know sometimes my comments can be abrasive but I enjoy that style... so ok.

My partner walked across a land border and stayed illegally in this country because of hyperinflation. No body from Argentina is walking to Uruguay or Chile because they have to pay more and their employers are paying them more.

A scale of magnitude affects people where they leave their lives, families, pets, houses, jobs and _walk_ to find a better situation.
Language is often about being able to take shortcuts, to infer meaning, to talk about things in the abstract an everyone understand what you mean.

Clean Code is just a concept, it’s up to you to define it within your culture or community.

I think most developers will have a basic grasp of the difference between clean and ugly code, you just might need to discuss the finer details as you learn.

Because it’s not well defined globally doesn’t mean there’s no such thing or it doesn’t exist.
I disagree with this perspective.

From a startup pov, going with native apps will require multiple teams (Usually just Android + iOS, but occasionally Windows as well)

React Native will only require one team, or just one engineer depending on the size of the project

Better yet, If your front end developer is fluent in React(web), then that developer is already fluent in React Native.

I completely disagree on the "awful lot of work", when you could literally get your FE developer to work on your "native" apps.

Sure, where performance must be squeezed, it's probably optimal to go native, but that bar is set a lot lower than where it actually should be.

If React Native is good enough for Discord, it's good for 3 quarters of all apps out there.
The masks are if you want to go into mass transit or peoples’ businesses, and it’s mostly theater in restaurants - they come off and stay off almost immediately. It’s just common courtesy to others to wear them in public places while omicron is raging.

The QR code scanning is just for dining at the place (not takeout), and for things like long trains and planes. It’s not a big deal, except for the privacy implications.

My point was mostly that people aren’t holding back from going out, despite very high infection rates, and things appear to be mostly fine.
For astigmatism, proponents of this approach will gradually alter the cylinder value, https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/Astigmatism
There is such a thing as simple code.

The job of the engineer is to make complexity simple, even when your target market is other engineers.

The complexifiers and verbose Vogons persist heavily today though, as well as project management processes that create an infested myriad of complexity from shallow code to legions of dependencies and asset flipping rather than an effort to be close to the actual standards that run things, abstraction overuse is a major problem.

Simplicity takes a professional to achieve and maintain. Simplicity and simple parts lead to "clean" code.

Note, I don't think Sabine's theory in this video actually is "superdeterminism" even though she called it that. It's rather "retrocausality", which is still magical but more limited.

However, there isn't an explanation for why it's limited - seems like if the partial case could happen then the whole thing could happen too. (there's a long argument about this in the comments of Scott's post)
I don't get the connection you're trying to make between chavismo and what you call "woke" movement in the US.

What happened in Venezuela is not that. Chavez was surrounded by anything but the upper middle class. His closest allies were from the army which are the same that rule the country now (eg. Diosdado Cabello). They didn't subvert any institution or pillar, they just replaced them. They created parallel government, law and education systems by replacing the constitution the supreme court and the parliament with their own more powerful and aligned versions. They also cut funding to universities and created their own via the "misiones" in the 00s. There was indeed a thin layer of ideology from certain old school intellectuals at some point but really nothing you could describe as upper middle class, that was also removed after a few years.

"Fun fact: the electronic voting system Dominion used in the US was first developed to help Chavez cheat in elections, as he was too unpopular to win otherwise"

That's just not true. There was never any proof of fraud or cheating in any of those elections, specially via those machines. As painful as it is, Chavez was immensely popular while alive and won all of his presidential elections.
Is it not possible that such a large retail industry is only possible in high population density area?
Mine didn't and I also have not had any degradation in the last ten years.
I don’t disagree that these phones, installers, and design prompts contribute to significant market share.

It doesn’t change my opinion that Chrome has the best performance, developer experience, and latest API features. It’s the only browser trying to give web apps access to the expensive hardware I paid for.

I know it’s a hot take to like that, but unfortunately tons of my desktop software must be connected to the internet anyways to make sure I’ve paid a subscription bolted on a few versions ago :( I prefer the sandbox and portability of a web app when that’s my alternative.
You should be able to just use a website that uses resident keys (such as Microsoft Passwordless login). I don't think the UI is any different, it's just that the key will actually get stored on the device.

Because the first firmware revision lacks the credential management API, there's no way to list the resident keys on the device or to delete individual keys. The only way to delete resident keys AFAIK is to reset the FIDO2 application on the key.

I don't believe it to be in good faith given Apple's anti-competitive behavior all over. Not convinced in the least. Especially when it "accidentally" gives them a huge leverage over the adoption of Web technologies according to how they want it.

Either way, intent shouldn't matter here. What matters more is their actual damage to competition which is apparent.
huh. Forgot to mention tail recursion.
As do scuba divers
Those are total market shares including smartphones, which Firefox has very little presence. Most people look at Firefox market share tends ( or used to ) focus on Desktop market share. ( The term Desktop actually includes Laptop LOL, which used to be a separate category. )
Ah yes, when the procrastination is so high, that you end up building an app instead of actually learning hiragana.
Yeah, and that's a clear violation of competition law. MS didn't get away with it in the past. So how come Apple does?
Do the CPAs actually have any fiduciary responsibilities, i.e. that the spending is prudent? My understanding is that they will attest that the books are an accurate and true accounting and they make no broader claims. The elected auditor may serve as a watchdog against actions that are against the taxpayers’ financial interests — even if CPAs and essentially policing accounting errors.
Barring any nuclear processes, everything is carbon neutral as long as no fossilized combustibles are taken from the ground and released back into the eternal cycle of carbon neutral processes.
This is also why "dark mode" is counterproductive when wearing glasses. Better to adjust ambient room lighting to match screen brightness.
R you forgetting another language which is useful for scientific/numerical computing?

Would Matlab count?
People are rewriting things all the time for various reasons.
That depends on if the developer wants to allow RNG manipulation speedruns or not.
I object to the term "supernatural". It means more like "supermaterial" or "super-harnessable-in-an-experiment-by-humans". It has well known limitations.

Regarding speculation, that assumes there isn't steps to knowledge about other things which physicists do not take. Any scientist will easily change their mind with the right evidence. The only issue is that the evidence takes place in one's subjective experience. It may take place specifically in contexts where it cannot be convincingly demonstrated to the general population.

It sounds silly, but if that's the nature of the object of investigation, it's necessary.
i thought this is what the entire movie was actually about tbh. poking "fun" at how much we suck at dealing with a very serious and similar issue
Be careful what you wish for.

In a fair amount of cases this opinion will be biased, wrong, based on the wrong assumption or just outright intentionally misleading. But it will still agitate the crowd, because everyone just loooves good witch hunt, causing a bunch of unjustified grief to those targeted.
Irc is controlled by greybeards that love it just the way it is. They love their setups with bouncers and bots and scripts and how it can run in a terminal. Irc isn't getting better because they don't want it to.

New kid on the block Matrix might become eventually become a good choice for regular people.
Look really cool, but after testing Logseq I think I'll stick with it. It allows me to paste code snippets/shell scripts easily, and this is a large part of my notes at work.

Logseq has a bit of a learning curve (it's simple but confusing) but after initial shock it has everything.
I think the FIDO Alliance is already discussing solutions to these use cases. (And also this is a bit circular reasoning, isn’t it? “Why don’t you use the XYZ standard? Because it does not support our use case. So why don’t you cooperate on adding support to the standard? Why? So that you can use the XYZ standard!”) Also, I think there already are extensions supporting some basic forms of this, however, they are not supported very well.

But I’m afraid the basic prerequisite of secure transaction signing (“what you see is what you sign”) cannot be fulfilled on a generic “FIDO2 authenticator” – you need the authenticator to have a display. Sure, Windows Hello / Android FIDO / … might support this, but your common hardware Yubikey cannot.

I don’t know to which authentication method used by which bank in which country you refer in your “58430012” example, but this is definitely nothing which could be used as a method of transaction signatures in banks here, and it does not fulfill the requirements of the PSD2 regulation.
> I see nothing about coming to the aid of Ukraine

Red herring. The text is a commitment to respect territorial integrity (as nekcihc correctly said and you questioned) not to aid it.

In particular:

2. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

That's Russia guaranteeing that "that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations."

None of their weapons, not just nuclear.
Binding of isaac is arguably an action RPG mixed with rougelike, both were developed genres before it was made, it was a synthesis of both. It helped launch the rougelite genre/achetype.
Personally, I feel like when someone shares an idea that they don't build on, it's sort of free stuff that holds no value to them. They probably didn't mean to "steal" it. It's like a broken car you don't use that they sold off to someone. It's rude to do it without asking, but they might have felt you just didn't value it.

Also, as a person who has mentored plenty of teams, I see the same ideas happen everywhere. Most hackathons usually have some tiny variation of the same idea. I've seen some situation where a team actually proposed doing something I was working on for 4 months, and there was some awkward moment where I considered telling them, because I was afraid they'd think I stole the idea. Thankfully, neither of us got the idea off the ground.
If the processes stink, the correct answer is not enforced ignorance, it is reform. How can we reform without knowledge?
Focus or accommodation loss is just the beginning of myopia. Sometime after the symptoms show up, the eye would physically elongate in the axial direction and push the retina beyond the accommodation range of the lens. This change is impossible to "reset" with current medical knowledge.

Your idea about allowing the eye to "rest" is not new and it has been the subject of several large scale clinical trials such as the COMET study linked below. In short, under correcting myopia does help to slow down progression. However, the benefit is too small to justify not fully correcting vision which will result in a better quality of life.

Thank you so much! :)
Well, I have some military experience, so I know how to follow orders and be in a right place at the right moment. :)
Nope. It became popular because Google advertised it on their homepage for years.
...but aren't those tools a representation of the additional knowledge that the industry accumulated over time?
They totally create damage to the market in this case.

The fact that courts turned competition law into some toothless tool only highlights the problem.
They are absolutely awesome, and I would get one right now if I could afford it, and didnt expect customs to seize it on the way in. I'd use it to go to work if I could. People are mostly cowards about crashing, and they are illegal for pretty much every common use. Arguably the latter is partly for the same reason escooters are hated, except taken to eleven.
