I prefer to keep my email as dumbly secured as possible. I’ll never forget this one time I was on my sailboat with no cell service and only an open WiFi connection from shore. I couldn’t login to anything via sms auth. Same thing with FIDO keys when traveling. Lost luggage? No logging in for you until you get home to get your backup? Cut your finger while cooking? No logging in for you! Have to wear a face mask? No logging in for you!

> Is the Argentinian inflation being "fought" by any government program?

Another Argentinian here :)

Yes, the current and past governments took different actions to reduce inflation. But, they weren't successful.

It's a complex topic. I'm not an economist, but from my limited knowledge:

- People don't trust ARS because they fear devaluation (like in 2001) or hyper-inflation (like in 1989). It means that many prices are tied to the ARS/USD exchange rate. When the dollar goes up, merchants that depend on imported goods raise prices to cover their stock in the future. (and it generates a domino effect)

- The food production chain is not so dependent on imported goods, but it's one of the main products for export. When international prices go up, domestic prices rise as well.

- Printing money is also a way to finance your economy when you have tons of debt (Ray Dalio has some easy-to-understand videos about it): Argentina has tons of debt.

The current government did a lot of price control of certain products (mainly food and services). But, it's not working. I guess they cannot avoid printing money without causing other issues.
So said every writer of a standard immediately before writing another standard to replace all others.
My point is that far fewer people care about this than one might expect. And a non-trivial number probably don't believe it anyway.
Absolutely. Rumors that have been correct so far (and correctly predicted the M1 Pro and M1 Max 16 and 32 GPU core configurations) say that Apple is planning a 2 and 4 M1 Max multi-die design in the future. The M1 Max already has a die-to-die interconnect bus that is unused. Also, according to reverse engineer Hector Martin, the interrupt controller on the M1 Max theoretically allows for up to 8 M1 Max dies (though whether Apple is planning such an insane layout is unknown and unlikely.)

If the (very likely) 2-die version is released, that'll be 64 Apple GPU cores. If the (likely) 4-die version is released, that'll be 128 Apple GPU cores. Coupled alongside that would be up to 32 Performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. That should be good competition for anything NVIDIA and Intel Xeon.
> I have little empathy for them, however: I want this pandemic to be over, and they are getting in the way of that.

funny, because most everyone i know wants this too, and it’s always “the other side” which prevents the pandemic from “being over”. from a person standing in the middle, it appears that it’s the divide which blocks this, whereas from deep behind lines i guess it looks like everyone past that divide is blocking things.

well good luck winning a battle in the modern world through force of will. there’s a reason the world powers generally don’t conduct large wars openly these days, and that many conflicts are instead resolved via international agreements (especially of trade). if you do discover a way to resolve the social woes in life without leveraging pro-social behaviors (like cooperation/empathy), write me and share your findings so that i in turn can better the state of our society. and if you spot the inherent contradiction of the previous sentence, i’ll buy you a beer.
I think your missing the point. Having n+1 tools to do the same thing (compile/run a React/Vue app) makes things more complicated, not less.
Cypress was such a pain that I simply wasn't writing or running tests just to avoid it. It was incredibly slow, had major bugs that are till open after multiple years, and worst of all, in headless mode it was passing tests that should have been failing (and were failing in headed mode). The only reason I discovered it was because headless mode seemed to run unusually fast.

I switched to Playwright 6 months ago - I'm much happier now and the switch also allowed me to delete 3/4 of the helper code that I needed before.
The poor Chavista street thugs are no more in power in Venezuela than the antifa street thugs are in the US, if so they would be fat and wealthy like Maduro. You have to distinguish the tool from the master wielding it.

The way Chavez revolutionized the Venezuelan republic into a marxist feudalistic state pretending to be a republic was by building upon a subverted legislature, executive and presidential role. These are all except the presidential role privileged roles that require some measure of education as well as position. Especially the roles that require lawfare is difficult to subvert without first subverting lawschools to produce large numbers of revolutionary lawyers, and this is exactly what has happened in the US.

Chavez as well as the current woke US administration is a sign that subversion has already taken deep hold, so neither was the start of the subversion but enabled by decades of a slow walk through the 5 institutional pillars of western society that the Marxists identified; church, government, enterprise, law, and education that tie it all together (Gramchi came up with the slow march, countering Marx that thought the peasants would rebel on their own).

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

You've stumbled upon the perceived-lowest-risk way to fire tech people.

It looks better on the books when people churn "organically" over the course of a year.

Is it better or worse for morale than a lay-off? Hard to say. Depends on how transparent with salaries your company is.

One "advantage" is that it's somewhat-reversible. If 2 quarters into this plan, the board finds that they don't need to cut back on spending as much as they originally believed, they can hand out raises to whatever fraction of employees remain, and give themselves a pat on the back.

Bottom line, it's a symptom of a poorly-planned hiring system, IMO, and a painful situation with no painless way out. Employee X may prefer to be told directly that the company wants them gone next month, Employee Y prefers to save face. Your CEO is, in all likelihood, very upset about the situation, too, for what it's worth.
Not endemic. Will you accept a formal assessment of endemicity from a PI at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization? See as of two weeks ago: https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/14808999541638635...

Not interested in playing word games. Words mean things. Get over it.

> [Vaccines] don’t stop you from getting [COVID] or transmitting it.

This is a harmful framing. What ultimately matters is Rt < 1. Do vaccines get us closer to that? Yes. Does not breathing on each other help with that? Yes. Does avoiding indoor gatherings prevent us from breathing on each other? Yes. Do masks and adequate ventilation help us reduce the amount of exposure when contact is unavoidable? Yes. Ergo each of these factors contributes to reducing the reproduction rate of the virus when applied. Wow, the power of simple logical deductions. Try it sometime.

Deliberately obfuscating truths by painting a false dichotomy is misinformation.

Life doesn't go on for the multitudes of preventable deaths that have occurred and will occur because people like you continue to push false narratives.
A couple of problems that are hard to solve with server side rendering are: modals, data tables (sorting, pagination, etc.), form validation, dropdowns, etc. htmx can you get you a lot of those use cases. But, once there are Hibiki libraries that offer that type of functionality, the Hibiki code should be more encapsulated and easier to just plug-n-play.

I don't think that argument holds water. Emoji could just as well have been encoded as markup. There were for instance long-established conventions of using strings starting with : and ; . Bulletin boards extended that to a convention using letters delimited by : for example :rolleyes: . Not to mention that those codes can be typed more efficiently than browsing in an Emoji Picker box.

Because emoji became characters, text rendering and font formats had to be extended to support them.
There are four different ways to encode emoji in OpenType 1.8:

* Apple uses embedded PNG

* Google uses embedded colour bitmaps

* Microsoft uses flat glyphs in different colours layered on top of one-another

* Adobe and Mozilla use embedded SVG.

Xcode is one of those products that suggest Apple has simply stopped caring about quality. It sort of works if you're lucky, but realistically it's questionably usable. And Apple just doesn't seem to care.

It's not like the company can't afford to throw some resources at it. But it... doesn't. And the process for extras like AU plugin development - not central, but a significant mini-economy in the ecosystem - used to be so much simpler than it is now.

That aside, historically my favourite accessory was Quartz Composer. It ended up being a dead end, but personally I had a blast experimenting with it and building generative animations.

When Google announced the shutting down of legacy Gsuite they stated that authentication based upon the legacy accounts would continue to work.

Ask HN: Learning FE web dev as a BE engineer
I've spent my entire career doing backend systems engineering (C/C++/Rust/Java). On occasion I'd find myself wanting a UI, so I'd reach for Qt.

But it seems more and more that it would be really useful to learn web development. The web is ubiquitous these days, and tools like Tauri take some of the smell out of Electron, so it can be pressed into device on the desktop.

It seems all the FE web dev guides are about learning the latest flavour of the month (React, Angular, Vue, etc...) and not about understanding how any of it works, what design patterns are useful, performance trade-offs, etc...

Is there a "FE dev for the experienced system engineer" type of resource?
I think Durable Objects is a great product and Cloudflare have been ahead of the curve on this trend. The main difference is that the unit of code is a container image rather than a JS/WASM bundle, so you can run just about anything in there (we’ve run instances of Chrome and an OLAP database). We’re mainly focused on use cases where developers want a more powerful compute environment than they have in the browser, so we wanted to be as unrestrictive as possible about what runs in it.

The other difference is that it’s open source. We’re also working on a managed version for people who don’t want to manage a cluster, but we don’t want to tie developers to a managed platform without an open source on/off ramp.

No, those aren't hostile and dangerous words. You're just getting overexcited.

The scenario I explained is one in which a government may legitimately censor somebody because it exceeds the normal restraints of First Amendment. It's pretty clear that Rogan didn't say that. You may note in everything I'm saying, I'm not supporting censoring Rogan. If the US government wants to oppose his message, clearly they should just spend time on talk shows saying the message they want the public to hear (like they do). I do think Rogan was irresponsible with ivermectin, but it does not reach the point where the government could legitimately censor him.

You don't need you to keep reminding of quotes about hitler. It doesn't somehow make your argument stronger to explain how the Nazis came to be.

Communism killed 20M people and we still flirt with that ideology.
It was wrong. Turning up quick information makes it clear that hardtack was a core part of the military marching diet, and the soldiers could prepare their own bread, though they didn't carry flour.

https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/roman-army/food-in-roman-army/

https://www.comitatus.net/research_files/rations.pdf

Those both seem like decent writeups which cite to several classical sources. The first one mentions porridge (stating that bread was preferred); the second explicitly makes the assumption that all grain becomes bread. We can safely ignore that assumption.

More from that first writeup:

> The daily grain ration (wheat or barley)for one legionary was on average 830 grams and was in the form of unground grain; This was mainly due to the fact that grain spoiled slower than flour.

> The meals of the Roman legionaries were mainly based on wheat, from which two types of food were made:

> mash, called pulse. It was an easier-to-make food that required a mixture of cooked wheat grains, water, salt, fat, and olive oil or milk. Sometimes vegetables or spices were added.

> flatbread (pane). It was the more popular use of grain. The soldiers threshed out the grain, ground it with a device or stone, mixed it with water, salt and spices, and then roasted it over the fire.

So, what's true:

- The legion isn't going to carry a millstone. They're huge and there's no way to justify it.

- The legion isn't going to make itself dependent on the location of local mills. That would defeat the purpose of being a military force.

- The legion isn't going to carry flour, because it spoils. They carry raw grain.

- But they also carry hardtack, which is prepared so as not to spoil quickly.

- A foraging legion already takes raw grain. That's their primary foraging objective. They are not limited to robbing granaries; they're happy to harvest it directly from the field.

- Food preparation is done at a very low level - if the grain is going to be ground, it will be done in parallel by a large number of soldiers personally grinding small amounts of grain each, not by a mill.

- The soldiers often do eat bread. But if you're going to eat bread, you make it from raw grain the same day. This has to occur wherever you happen to be, so you'll be using something like a mortar and pestle.

- Despite the fact that bread is preferred to porridge, sometimes you make porridge anyway. It's much easier to make.
Yeah, 27" iMac owner here, desperately waiting for an upgrade. If Apple had been a bit more open about the road map, I might have bought an air around the release date to bridge the time till the iMac update. Wouldn't say no to a (smaller) Mac Pro with an external display (if Apple offered that) either.
Thanks. I love the stuff!

> You mean between two sources, for positioning? I'm not sure the relevance of that here.

It's only really meaningful in scenarios like a recording studio where the performer is listening to themselves live, in headphones, if the signal undergoing A/D and D/A conversion with some processing in between. It could mean 2ms instead of 8ms, which can be the difference between distracting and not. Not relevant here (I admitted "not applicable") but just an example of where some utility does exist, but the utility is definitely not audible frequency response.
After several iterations I settled on immutable data storage approach. Block data need to be versioned with full revision history, think note sharing apps like Notion.

Many Block initiatives have opted for immutable graph databases like Datomic (not open-source, nor cheap, nor performant at scale). Postgres has reverse recursive queries and graph indexing. Cassandra another option if you want a more flexible schema structure and a bit of time series spice mixed in.
Each of these comes with a large asterisk:

Uncensorable, except for all of the times that providers have refused service because of (very reasonable!) KYC laws.

Global, except for all of the countries that will throw you in prison for using cryptocurrencies.

Decentralized, except for the structured oligarchy of miners who prevent protocol evolution on any decentralized currency of sufficient value.

Hully gee.
> it’s a bit of a tragedy that NURBS and other curve families that are more intuitive to work with haven’t caught on.

I feel like it’s even more tragic that Uniform B-splines aren’t more common, especially quadratic and cubic versions. Git rid of knots, and talk specifically about degree 2 or 3, and you don’t need a PhD in math to follow the explanation. You can explain it without the sums of sums of recursive basis functions while juggling several different indices, no need to discuss knot insertion and removal. Uniform B-splines segments have a 1:1 mapping to Bézier curves, and understanding them before diving into non-uniform curves would be so helpful and actually cover two thirds of what people need and what happens in practice.

The big problem with NURBS is that the only information you can find on them dives into unwieldy math notation and discussion about knots, there’s almost nothing out there that’s simple and quick to follow, or tailored specifically to constrained cases, people writing drawing apps and games. The material all seems to be abstract and arbitrary degree and arbitrary complex uses. I feel like NURBS is a case where it becomes clear that the notation gets in the way of understanding, it truly feels like there should be a simpler notation because the concepts are easier to grok than the math.

They still deserve it, IMO. Willingly making a clown, a pawn of an ad-spamming corporation, out of oneself by doing one's darnedest to "win through" at some perverse game rigged by the aforementioned scourge of the Internet, is neither a natural human right nor a divine command. Not playing that game is still a valid move, and AFAICS the only honourable -- i.e. the only non-ridicule-worthy -- one.

Jealous of your tests. Pretty sad we printed a couple trillion and didnt get testing etc with it.
The denial is so palpable. I know a couple in their early sixties who refused to get vaccinated because "COVID is way overblown". They were both regular weight and normal health. The wife contracted COVID and died in the hospital. Later, when asked if he was going to get vaccinated, he said no, because "COVID is no worse than a cold."

He apparently believes that even though his wife went into the hospital for COVID, she actually died from pneumonia, and not COVID. I guess no doctor explained to him that pneumonia is simply an infection that has spread to the lungs.

You can't help people like this.
