> Educated" people can say what they want about how important it is to believe in the science and have faith in our researchers and the institutions they work for.

This comment shows the problem in the argument. Science does not require belief or faith. In fact the idea of faith is the antithesis of science.

Science is about the hypothesis supported by evidence and remains current knowledge until a hypothesis that is better supported by the evidence.

Questioning is required, inquiry is required, not faith.

Lot of people want to be and write like Stratechery, but they are obviously not Stratechery.
I‘m going to make a case for one of the more complicated SSG setups.

My current domain is a full blown Next.js setup hosted at Netlify. I use Next.js because I use React in my day job and frankly, I enjoy it. Out of Next I get: partial hydration, automatic image optimization, a no-bullshit build setup, static pages where I need them and the ability to add complex things like Markdown and LaTeX support or interactive graphs for more involved blog post. The real winner is MDX. Where I had to resolve to cheap tricks like shortcodes before, I can just import and place my graph components.

By using the Netlify free tier, my site gains free SSL and builds automatically when I push to master.

You would think this is insanely heavyweight for a basic homepage, but it’s not. Once setup, I can just write my blog in markdown. My entire site ships at just a bit over 50KB gzipped.

Do you need this setup? No. But I had fun doing it.

Good write up, just one minor correction: JavaScript has support for multiple threads via Workers. (Also most engines aren't really single-threaded, they just look that way. Example: the garbage collector and low-level I/O machinery typically run in separate threads under the VM hood.)

No explicit locking or synchronization is needed for multiple threads either because data can only be owned by one thread at a time, and either the data must be copied during transfer or control of that data must be explicitly released before the next thread takes ownership.

Excerpt:

Modern chess is the culmination of centuries of experience, as well as an evolutionary sequence of rule adjustments from its inception in the 6th century to the modern rules we know today.

While classical chess still captivates the minds of millions of players worldwide, the game is anything but static.

Many variants have been proposed and played over the years by enthusiasts and theorists.

They continue the evolutionary cycle by altering the board, piece placement, or the rules—offering players "something subtle, sparkling, or amusing which cannot be done in ordinary chess

How do I check if our home network is compromised?
We have been experiencing regular network slowdowns and packet losses at around the same time for the past few days. It usually happens in the morning even though our network usage is not as heavy as it is at night during that time. The slowdown is not limited to a single device so it had me kind of worried about the security of our network.

I have not contacted my ISP about this issue because I want to rule out any fault on my side. However, one problem I have is our router's software is proprietary and the network device given to us is a modem/router combo. I have administrator access to the router but that's about it; flashing it is probably out of the question.

Any suggestions how would I deal with this? Where should I start troubleshooting?

Another way to think of this is: no one gets promoted for keeping things the same or making small optimizations. PM’s/designers get rewarded for sweeping changes, which is why UI for a given product often gets worse instead of better. The first version was the usable bare-bones MVP, then things bloat as ppl stuff in features, then it all gets swept away in a “refresh” which often buries the most useful stuff that was simple and boring for the PMs — but they forget about new users seeing it all for the first time.

It would be awesome if tesla let us truly customize the UI with some CSS, or at least accept a few themes that they bless. I want to have my energy usage always visible somewhere on screen, for example, without completely blocking the map…

> Static site generators are significantly faster than dynamic websites because they run expensive computations beforehand and compile static files. First, let’s dig deeper into the first point. If you run a website with dynamic software like WordPress, there are multiple steps to send your content to the user.

…

> These steps take valuable time, and if they take too long, the user could leave before the content loads.

…

> If you use one of the SSGs that use a JavaScript framework, you are likely sending unnecessary JavaScript to the client. However, partial hydration can solve this. To understand why, let’s first look at what hydration is. Most JavaScript frameworks run code on both the build step and the client. The build step creates the HTML. However, interactivity is still needed. To solve this, they use hydration. Hydration uses client-side JavaScript to make static HTML interactive. Sounds good, right? The problem is that frameworks often send code for parts of the HTML that are not interactive. Doing that slows down page loading without actually changing anything.

> The solution is partial hydration, which allows you to define what you want to hydrate.

So if you started out with performance as a key measure and moved to SSGs (despite the usage being more complex compared to a GUI based CMS), with the JavaScript framework based SSGs (not to be mixed up with simple JavaScript/Node based ones) that use/prefer client side rendering and hydration you now have poorer performance for a lot more complexity in designing the site and building it.

Somehow it feels like the JavaScript framework based SSGs are poorer on many fronts, and seem to give me the impression that they could appear slower to the end user browsing the content (I hate seeing empty placeholders with animations while they wait for the content to be rendered).

Just like how it’s easy to spot Electron based apps, it seems easy to spot JavaScript framework based sites too.

I used to work (current PhD student) in HPC (switched specialties) and I was extremely surprised that not only did these people not share code (DOE actually encourages open souring code), but they would not even do so upon request. Several times I had to get my advisor to ask the author's advisor. Several times I found out why I couldn't replicate another person's code. It is amazing to me that anyone in CS does not share code. It is trivial to do and we're all using git in some form or another anyways.

They also seem to design everything as if you’re going to press downward like some iPad in your lap. That’s wrong: since the screen is completely vertical, there’s a good chance your finger won’t accurately land on the spot you’re trying to reach. The area recognized for each button needs to be a lot bigger vertically, including the area above and below the icon/label. (The Apple Watch has a similar problem; when you try to press on it when tilted on your wrist, it is a lot harder to touch vertically-narrow buttons.)

What I want to see are very “tall” buttons WITH BORDERS ON THEM that are large enough to still hit when my finger slips down a bit, as it often does on such a display.

I don’t really get it though. You have sick leave like everyone else, just take it. Yeah corporate hospital doesn’t want to pay you and they suck but it’s ok to just do the required minimum and clock out and let the administration deal. Work to rule is always the best form of protest. It’s not like they can fire you since they can’t replace you. And if they do let you go there are plenty of less shitty hospitals looking for staff.
At the heart of the issue, as you arrived at, is that our researchers are constantly under pressure to meet some funding goal, constantly looking for their next grant to continue work. This pressure should not exist. It is my belief that, in absence of that pressure, whatever 'fraud' is happening will no longer need to exist. Of all things, researchers should not need to be worried about funding.

You might try going back to basics. First write some pages in plain HTML using a text editor to get a feel for how tags work. Then add some styling using CSS and play around with that. That’s about all I know how to do, but I’m able to maintain a personal website that meets my needs. Since the site has no dependencies, it will presumably be readable for decades to come. And it is extremely light (not that it gets many visitors!).
Technically yes you are correct.

I love static site generators and I really wish more sites were built with them. There are likely millions of websites that have no login functionality or other functionality that specifically requires a back-end, but use a CMS anyway. Usually a CMS is slower for the users on the site, more expensive for the company running it, less secure, less stable, and more maintenance than a statically generated site.

I do think there's still plenty of room for improvement for static site generators though. Does anyone have any recommendations for an SSG with easy support for multi-lingual websites? Ideally, I'd be able to translate the text and provide alternative images, videos, and links without having to change the HTML structure of a given page for each language. Technically, this can be done easily with JavaScript by using a plugin like jQuery Localize [1], but that has two major downsides: (1) all other languages except the default breaks if JavaScript is disabled and (2) users won't know that the site supports their language from search engine results (the snippet will be in the default language.) So it'd be great if I could write the pseudo HTML of a page once, but generate multiple HTML files for each different language (placed into their respective directory, e.g. en/, es/, fr/ etc.)

In fact it appears that Ford is the one assessing garage spaces. The 4x4 Supercrew will fit in a standard American-sized single garage door [1]. The only question is length. I measured my garage and have talked to many F150 owners. The 5.5’ bed leaves inches to space in the average garage, and people set up a system to park them - tennis ball hanging from ceiling, parking block on the ground, etc. My own garage has a ceiling-mounted, motion-activated adjustable laser pointer above each parking space, which seems incredibly ridiculous, but hey, I’m a newcomer to this whole suburbs thing.

Truly Orwellian stuff.
No, this is specifically not creating a mutable reference. So it's fine except for the fact that writing via assignment like this calls the destructor/drop for the old value, if the type has a Drop implementation. That's why &str is fine but String is not, since it will call Drop on a zeroed String (Which is not guaranteed to work) or on an uninitialized String. Using ptr::write instead explicitly does not Drop the old value that is being overwritten.

Basically, if you have something like

let v = vec![1,2,3];
v = vec![4,5,6]; // Here vec![1,2,3] is dropped otherwise we would be leaking

Even assuming that you are correct in your absolutely ridiculous assumption that self-driving cars are about controlling the movement of the population, why would you think it would be government control and not control of the company that is trying to develop the self-driving technology?
No, just that the rate of change is much lower than that of tech. We haven't had any penicillin-level breakthroughs recently.

Admittedly, part of the reason for that is that what's left in medicine is the "long tail" of as-of-yet relatively neglected conditions.

It is really unfortunate that Allen did not set up a trust fund or financial resources that could have allowed the computer museum to fund its ongoing operating budget independently after his death.

It is my understanding that it was 100% dependent on periodic injections of funding authorized by Allen himself, and this was cut off after his sister took control of the finances.

Same for Cinerama.

I feel sort of neutral about it. I always felt like it took me more time so I stopped using it. But with others I don't have much preference one way or another. I guess I prefer non-cursive? But some of it is very beautiful.

There are a lot of children in my extended family, and at some point I noticed they were very confused by cursive, and saw it as a curiosity, almost like there was a secret alphabet adults used to use. When I asked around about it, I found out they were no longer being taught it, and then found articles about how it was disappearing from curricula.

It's mostly interesting to me because it was such a big part of my writing education, and my teachers were so adamant about it, and it was so common. So it's strange to me to see it just disappear.
The light reflection method sounds like it should be perfect, does it work well in practice?

Using Hugo isn't exactly "boring"... that's a pretty sophisticated system.

But what is "boring" really? Unsexy? Why is Javascript not boring, but Hugo gets a pass?

I use SvelteKit bc that's super easy for me to understand and helps me get to the content faster than say, Middleman or Hugo, so for me SvelteKit / Vercel is the most "boring" thing I can do.

So I guess "boring" is relative?
That's pretty nifty, thank you!
Programs can have effects that aren’t intended. My point is that the scattershot funding approach did result in the most efficacious vaccine, moreso than alternative more limited (for various reasons) funding efforts. I’m not so sure data exists to say that was a coincidence. The weakness IMO is that the funding and cooperation wasn’t even more broad, including the WHO and other international organizations, but that makes sense giving the political climate at the time.
