While I really liked the neat API and it's easy to use, the index performance and ram/disk size is really disappointing in a use case I oversee.

Typesense in my opinion is much better on performance (ymmv but in my case it's ~15% disk/ram, 5% of index time comparing to Meili). However, it's a bit behind on easy to use: the auto schema api has some limitation, also lack of official arm64 build (maybe it's a c++ vs rust toolchain thing, it takes quite some time to compile by oneself, with many c++ libs used from different vendors like google/baidu/etc, and some lib even requires SSE)

It's fun to see both come with comparison charts [1] [2], I dunno who started this but competition is good for the industry (except I'm mildly concerned GitHub stars are used in PR like this), and I hope both get better over time.

Bleeding edge or complete fantasy? This is going to be very very expensive and guess who’s going to be paying for it?
What is the likelihood that some future civilization is going to just happen to dig up a nuclear waste repository stored deep underground? Furthermore, why does nuclear waste get so much attention when there's plenty of other hazardous waste sites [1]. Why aren't we concerned about a future civilization breaching a salt mine that's been pumped full of toxic chemicals?

early in the pandemic I had a very limited supply of N95 masks and when the nose wire got too deformed to keep a good seal I solved it with a tiny amount of spirit gum. Lots of solutions if you're willing to try.
If you're a homeless bum you'll have all the free time in the world to draw and make music and read and hang out with friends. That's what you want, right? You sound pretty classist asserting the life of a bohemian is beneath you. Sounds like you do really want nice things. Well, everyone wants nice things. That's why we came up with a fair system to allocate nice things to people who pay for nice things. If nobody works, nobody has nice things.
> The problem isn't the medium/platform, but the idiots falling for them.

That's victim blaming
> minor inconvenience

The impacts on their development shown in the article and rest of the comments are much more than a minor inconvenience
React, Angular, Vue, all require you to set up a JavaScript environment -- npm, webpack, babel, etc. to use beyond any trivial examples (you'll need webpack to pull libraries). Hibiki is designed so that it works without all that set up.

The other really cool feature is that you can return "actions" (special JSON payloads) from your backend to actually script and update your frontend.

Put these two features together and you can have a full SPA in a single HTML file.

I'm literally Iranian. Our cultural machine does not exist outside of the country.

This isn't the same as Turkey, but their cultural weight does not impact English speaking countries.
Even if it’s stupid, what exactly is saying that going to accomplish other than feigning some superiority over the unvaccinated?
I don't know if I understand what "logic" is, but I clearly used the context of sociology and the game of life. Furthermore, if you want to fight on the ground that this isn't logic - who's to say that a higher number is better? That consent is required for BTC to be sent? That the number of BTC sent is not based on an outside variable?

If you add the context of "More money is better", "Value is gained after gaining money" and "Money has value", it seems to perfectly fit into logic. Prove me wrong if I am, I would appreciate it - I am not a Haskell programmer, so I think I could learn from it.
It's always the criminal's fault. But we aren't trying to blame the criminal in here, we are trying to blame the infrastructure the criminal used. It's a false dichotomy.
It has been for the past two years, yes. Thank you so much for your concern.

Who is surprized by these numbers? Since Cook took over from Jobs earnings are the only thing they're focused on. The product quality, developer experience, user experience,.. everything that made Apple great is declining.
Japan definitely has a strong cultural weight, but in animated content in English speaking countries.

China has no cultural weight on English speaking countries.
Particularly PhDs in Math, EE, or areas of CS that aren't engineering heavy. You hire them to solve problems that your engineers can't solve, not (just) to write code.

Masters degrees are a total crap shoot. I honestly ignore them entirely unless there's a thesis.
> If your Grandpa chose to not get vaccinated and gets COVID, thats his problem.

Unfortunately though that's not true. It's putting a huge burden on hospitals that affects us all.
His point is that the job satisfaction of adults is important and saving it requires our collective agreement that 1+1=3.

The point of masking in schools was maybe, once, based on the theory that it would keep the children and teachers safe. Now, the point is that we must exert every lever of control at our disposal. It just so happens that the only group of people who we can reliably control are children, as they cannot vote, do not have fully-formed civil rights, and (in the main) are legally required to attend government run schools each day.

So, while they'd love to make everyone else mask, they realize they practically cannot -- so they focus on children. It's grotesque.
The dystopia described in Stallman's "The right to read" is almost here... and we don't even get to colonize the solar system.
who exactly is going to refuse to hire you as a software engineer if you dont have that degree again?
> you should try implementing customer acquisition and go-to market strategies

I'd try but Apple doesn't let its customers willingly install my app from me or any other open-source repository they might choose.

If the only option is the App Store, it's not very surprising that the App Store is good for customer acquisition. You literally cannot acquire them any other way, you are artificially prevented by Apple's anti-competitive measures.
a majority of people voted for this govt in particular, yes. Thats how democracy works. Its the same system that voted for bolsonaro, trump, etc...
The Open-Source-ish license is a bit of danger zone.

> You just can't create a SaaS service offering a hosted version of Hibiki HTML or one that uses the Hibiki HTML language to offer 3rd party customizability for an existing product or service (see LICENSE).

Customizability in the context of UI is a very gray area. Does a form builder offer customizability ? Does a drag drop interface ? Does a search filter ?
Plenty of non-criminals adopted bitcoin. Then they un-adopted it once they found out it was actually not useful at all.

The criminals stayed though.
Interesting study. I wonder if they can find any links with how well babies sleep to the impact it has in adults' sleeping behaviors...whether we carry things from the patterns learned early in life?
No most countries consider trash abandoned property and free for anyone to grab.
So we didn’t have physicians before government started funding residencies? I think not, I think we used to have physicians just fine 100 years ago. So what changed?
Uh oh, we're all busted. Send in the black helicopters!
Sorry, left it vague for brevity. I'm unable to do all sorts of things without glasses, such as reading or driving. I'm not legally blind, I just have terrible vision. So if I'm in a restaurant trying to see the menu and my mask causes my glasses to fog up there's nothing I can do. I can't see through the fog, and I can't read without glasses.
> much harder to steal

This is objectively false given that the article is about how easy it is to scam people out of their bitcoins.
That's an interesting subject, since there has been a lot of government push for PIV but the internet has essentially decided that FIDO2/webauthn are the way forward and making them work with PIV is non-trivial.

> It is licensed under a modified form of the MIT license (similar in spirit to the Confluent open source license) which allows you to use Hibiki HTML without restrictions for almost all personal or commercial projects.

> The Hibiki HTML license is not OSI approved. I know this is an ideological deal-breaker for some, but if you have a purely practical concern , I'm happy to offer a proprietary license that satisfies your legal department.

Even though the restrictions might be reasonable, by making it non-standard ensures that any larger corp will not be able to use it.
I'll throw into this that my friend at a big hospital in Topeka, Kansas says all overnight surgeries are canceled so to staff shortage. Including heart surgery. Crazy.
No significant number of people in any of those use it.

El Salvador's wannabe dictator is pretty keen on it, though.
There's no such thing as a wallet hash. A wallet consists of any number of individual keys that cannot be linked together except through using them together in a single transaction. Yes, careless use can link your identity to one or more keys, but software can help prevent that. But if you use a P2P wallet, there is no equivalent of your bank that can see or censor all of your transactions.
Correction: They /attempted/ to add an /optional/ feature for your /children's/ account(s).

Do you have kids? Daughters? Would you like better control over what they're exposed to? Being given the tools to track screen time, purchases and control where possible exposure to objectionable content for immature minds isn't a bad thing.. provided it is opt-in. Which the feature always was before the news cycle chose their own narrative.
This is not quite true. You can easily use react/vue/solid along with unpkg to build fairly complex applications.
HCPs love the idea of declaring autonomy as outdated, or problematic, or even better, an HCP behavior itself. Dream on.
I would say it's another one of those things like private health insurance and no public option. It's not failing, it's working exactly as intended for our domestic oligarchy.

Much like having two parties that are mostly the same on major foreign and economic policy, having the digital plaza be managed by mostly a few big companies that are all politically aligned, and cozy with the government is a great way to pretend to have free and open discourse when the reality is we have no idea what's happening behind the scenes and it's all a-okay according to some because they're "private businesses".

While it's true that the first amendment only applies to the US government, the concept of free speech predates the US constitution by about 2200 years and is still important.
> Because the process is not entirely deterministic, it is much harder for a bad actor to corrupt.

As in software, a lack of determinism means a lack of reproducibility, and without reproducibility it's harder to have consensus.

In particular, if bitcoin makes a rule change (or refuses to implement a rule change), such a decision lacks the transparency and accountability needed for good governance, because the bad actor can just say "Well, that's just how things worked out that time. Blame the RNG.".

I don't think this is a theoretical concern when it comes to a bad actor corrupting the bitcoin protocol development process.
> Are your experiences in Texas too?

Sorry I didn't specify, this was not in Texas.
Wow, the monero project looks like they have some great ideas. I like this reproducible build - may try to get my team to work towards that.
It seems like monero has more of a focus on use as a real currency, so hopefully it isn't drawing in the speculative people and maintains it's real use.
I know this isn’t core to your project (which looks very creative and interesting), and I don’t have a strong opinion on this, but I want to throw it out there to get some thoughts:

Something I don’t like about “no build system, just use this one CDN script” is that:

1. I now depend on two servers for my application.

2. It represents a worst case: you must ship and download the entire library even if I could tree shake most of it at build time.
Plagiarised is totally the wrong word here. Besides, We is satirical so quite different in tone. I greatly enjoyed all three novels though, and encourage people to read them all :)
If the main thing an infrastructure enables is crime, then it’s ok to blame that infrastructure. For instance if there’s a network of tunnels under the border used exclusively for smuggling, that’s bad infrastructure.

Our reaction wouldn’t be, well, let’s arrest the criminals but leave those tunnels, the tunnels did nothing wrong!!

Doing so would simply give the next criminal a head start.

This is a great analogy for crypto. Sure once in a while an asymlum seeker may get through too, but overwhelmingly it’s narcos and Bolivian marching powder. So we blow up the tunnels.
That's the history, but you're missing the context of today. Many "unbanked" americans are immigrants voluntarily trying to avoid reporting and stay off the grid.

The solution lay in busting bias and fixing immigration laws though, not banking.
Orwell vs Huxley seems to be the lens of how people react to what is done to them. I'm more interested in why those in power do those things in the first place. The article points to the students as if they have power, I don't think they do, they're trapped in a system and reacting to it as pretty much any young human would do in the same position.

Possibly my favorite example of the powerful impressing a way of life on a huge number of people is the diplomatic sealed train the Germans used to send Lenin from Switzerland to Russia. i.e. the Russian Revolution was an intentional act done to it by cynical Germans who correctly expected the outcome would help them in the war. And the rest is history.
I saw puppeteer is actively developed, wonder where the 'lagging' implies.

doesn't playwright use puppeteer for chromium-based browsers(even edge-based), I thought it's just a wrapper for puppeteer with extra support for firefox.
"Nobody uses credit cards except for payment processors." If I accept British Pounds at my online store but only receive dollars to my business account by way of a processor, does that mean I did not use British Pounds in the transaction?

I've never once claimed cryptocurrency would be useful for anything other than money, so I'd be the wrong person to argue with about that. I'm not a web3 evangelist.
And in the event of a container breach, how does uranium make it through hundreds of meters of rock to get back onto the surface? And if the waste is in a subduction zone, those geological processes are brining the waste deeper into the ground.

People seem to be under the impression that even one gram of waste escaping is going to cause irreparable harm. Do people not realize that we've detonated hundreds of nuclear warheads in the atmosphere (and many more underground)? Do people not realize that the UK and Soviet Union simply dumped their nuclear waste into the ocean [1]? Yet we're worried about waste buried deep into bedrock?

> Python ... the language is nice for ... lacking surprises

Really?! The number one thing I dislike about Python is that it is chalk full of surprises, especially if you know more regular languages like MLs (e.g., SML, F#) or Schemes (e.g., Scheme itself, Racket). The scoping rules alone are a minefield.

If one knows F#, for example, going to Python is a step back in basically every way unless you need a package that is only in Python (somewhat rare).

> Academic functional languages don't have most of those, and academia has no right to complain given that they've done little to rectify this.

It's an interesting stance, given Guido van Rossum seemingly did everything he could to avoid what came out of academia.
It seems clear to me that this platform would have no problem letting on women of color. They unfortunately chose an imperfect solution to validate new members which they had to resort to due to the women on their site being threatened.
Not sure what analogy I made, but in this case, you can weigh how much you want to consider either opinion:

Sample Weather Channel Guy:
- No history in psychology
- Citing papers that are not highly respected under peer review

Sample Psychologist:
- Has a long history in the field
- Ideally has references available for their own claim

In this case, you'd probably want to err on the side of trusting the second person in the chart. What didn't happen, though, was a complete dismissal of the first person's claim based on credentials alone. If you have to make a decision on something quickly and authority is the only way for you to judge it, then sure, go for it. But appeal-to-authority doesn't belong in open-ended debates.
Neither because they're both fiction books marketed towards a popular audience for their entertainment. They are not substitutes for concrete analysis of historical facts.

> FF is no longer "very light & fast"

I beg to differ. It's certainly faster and uses less resources than even Ungoogled Chromium on the same machine.
Sure and that slows GDP growth by 40-50%. They’re still growing by a lot. It just moves the date by a few years.

Demographic doom is frequently cited for China but I rarely hear about the doom of Europe which has worse demographics. Demographics can be topped up using immigration. Without immigration the US would also be in demographic decline.
When I toured the Hanford nuclear site I got the impression that the nuclear waste is much harder to handle in the short term (much higher reactivity, much of it is in a liquid state, much of it contains very reactive solvents used in the purification process) but as you say it will be inert in a much shorter time frame. They were talking about encasing this waste in a silica/glass blob for easier handling.
The tibooks whose paint rubbed off from wrist rubbing? With the flexy keyboards? And the dvd drive that would flex into the disk if your wrist was resting above it? The 1st gen intel MacBooks which had a heat pipe that would short out the system when it got warm? The 24” iMacs that would cook the hard drive after 2 years due to bad thermals? (And eventually, the backlight too).
Open a company and execute your idea yourself.

The fact that he was accepted to an incubator should be used as validation of the idea.

Basically they bumble around and ape FAANG methods. Then they offer 50% FAANG pay and no one accepts.
I have gotten ridiculously far with ParcelJS without any configuration. It’s an amazing product. I consider it to be my go-to when I don’t want to deal with Webpack.
Angular.js does not require you to set up a Javascript environment. Note that I'm talking about the original version of Angular, not "Angular" (2+)

I was making a general point about an analogy with ‘never get fired for buying IBM’ - which of course wasn’t 100% true either. I get it that Apple products aren’t perfect but in general for most consumers it’s a safe bet.
(I think you may have been downvoted because your initial comment appeared to be referencing the "White Genocide" conspiracy theory - essentially the idea that the Jews are planning to slowly eliminate the white race in the West and replace them with blacks and Muslims.)
I think you are onto something but you are following with wrong conclusion.

Web developers don't forget about those people - it is businesses that forget about those people.

Those people are a niche and probably a niche that is not profitable catering to.

So they are excluded from the internet by a lot of companies. If there would be enough money to be made, a lot of web applications would have at lest 50% of those requirements implemented already.
If you read Orwell's essays I don't think he paints the picture as clearly as 1984 does.

Some papers with these themes off the top of my head:

- Reflections on Gandhi

- Politics and the English Language

- My Country Right or Left
To be fair, React's work is the most likely implementation of this concept for people to have heard about before. They've been talking about it for years, after all :)

You're either vastly underestimating the number of developers at that skill level, or overestimating the number of those devs you or I might ever have even heard of.
He's talking about AngularJS (v1). It is very different to modern frameworks like Angular (v2+), React, et.al. Frameworks from that era didn't involve setting up any build process.

Have a look at https://angularjs.org/ or https://knockoutjs.com/
"I would never use this after being burned badly. Duplicity hits a scalability brick wall on large file volumes which consumes ridiculous amounts of CPU and RAM on the host machine and leads to irrecoverable failure where it can’t backup or restore anything."

I believe you are correct and I believe that in my private correspondence with the duplicity maintainer (we sometimes sponsor duplicity development[1]) he sort of conceded that borg backup[2] is a better solution.

If the cloud platform you point your borg backups to can configure immutable snapshots (that is, they create, rotate, and destroy them) then a good solution would be using borg backup over SSH and configuring some of those snapshots[3].

15 seconds is the time at FL400 and it's not a total loss of oxygen, you've got more than 4 minutes before brain damage. While a healthy person would probably wake up fine after the emergency dive someone who already has health issues is another matter.
I'm vaccinated and think everyone capable of receiving the vaccine should get it but turning people away is cruel. That's science-fiction dystopia cruelty in my opinion. Now if a hospital is full and at capacity maybe there are some calculations but just turning people away is wrong.
And yet competitor products are still worse.
Agree.. As long as my dick isnt hanging out of my shorts Im generally good to go. (Helps my customers are pretty laid back too)
My opinion on the matter is irrelevant. There is no reliable, quantitative scientific evidence that vaccination actually reduces variant emergence rates. It's an interesting hypothesis but hasn't been proven or disproven.
That's how long it would take for all of the material to fall below a very low threshold. Most of the actually dangerous stuff decays on the order of a few decades. The site is super remote, gets almost no rain, and is geologically stable. The casks are designed to be leak free for greater than 10k years, and even then they'd just drop some material onto a cement surface in the center of a mountain in a room sealed behind steel and concrete. The standards in place ensure that no detectable radiation from the site could possible ever enter water int he valley for more than 10k years and probably longer. At which point anything that leaked would be noise against the background radiation, and would be harmless even if you consumed it. You'd get more radiation standing in Denver than drinking that water.
I don't think the strictest sense of "logic" has much use outside of pure math. Using commonplace definition of "logical=rational", it's logically refutable. Any rational person should be able to reason out that it's a scam.
