Yes. And the drive behind this was not only technical, but also artistic. You have seen the works of others (professional game developers) and you want to create something along the same lines. And into a very deep rabbit whole we went.

Therein lies the dilemma of this technology: would a scanner that might sometimes substitute information be better than no scanner at all?
Me. I've been on vacation with [ redacted ] in my pocket in a country where the average wage was $3500/yr, so about [ redacted ] years wages. And no I wasn't in some upper-class compound, I was hanging out in slums where $20 is worth killing someone. The equivalent to carrying [ redacted ] or so in US.
It made me feel great that some asshole in government couldn't cowardly seize my account or block a transaction, instead they'd have to personally kill me to take the money.

>f frauds, e.g., by merchants/terminals?

Pretty common. Virtually everyone I know has been defrauded by CC or debit card at least once. When it happened to me my bank dragged me through a months long process after which they refused to refund the fraud, essentially accusing me myself of lying, and ultimately they even shut down my checking account. For this reason I've basically divested from keeping cash in banks, now that I've learned the fraud protection is a farce and the fed is going to inflate it to hell anyway.
It is BP that shifted the blame to consumers back in the 00s. And they spent hundreds of millions on this marketing campaign - more than they did on fixing their own house. The idea of a personal carbon footprint didn't exist before this.
Ideally a foundation of sorts would spin up to take over managing the project. There's more than enough companies with big pockets deeply invested in the React ecosystem.

> The question is why there's some sort of proximity that I have with my comment that I don't have to yours.

Because it expresses your thoughts. Your mind has access to them in a way that it does not have access to anyone else's thoughts.

In particular, that access includes memories of having them and taking the actions necessary to post them. If you lost those memories, and your words were not identified as being yours, you would no longer regard them any differently than you do anyone else's (it is not even certain that you would agree with them.)

Note that the above statements involve no presupposition of materialism, but they are consistent with it. In particular, from a physical point of view, it is obvious why one would only have privileged access to one's own thoughts and experiences.
Only two extremes are proposed, static or fully animated...

There is a middle ground: changeable at a low frequency e.g once per 20 secs, allowing useful features such as indicators, counts, status changes etc while neutering distracting animations.
What's the point of these crypto hit pieces? Obviously crypto is not the answer for everything, but it has it's uses and probably more uses undiscovered in it's future.

The vast amounts of money gained and lost in such a short time seems to have clouded many peoples views, either through greed or jealousy.
> E-commerce was an area where we saw a meaningful slowdown in growth in Q4. And similarly, we've seen other areas like gaming to be challenged. But on e-commerce, it's quite noticeable -- notable that Google called out, seeing strength in that very same vertical. And so given that we know that e-commerce is one of the most impacted verticals from iOS restrictions, it makes sense that those restrictions are probably part of the explanation for the difference between what they were seeing and what we were seeing.

> ... we believe those restrictions from Apple are designed in a way that carves out browsers from the tracking prompts Apple requires for apps. And so what that means is that search ads could have access to far more third-party data for measurement and optimization purposes than app-based ad platforms like ours.

> So when it comes to using data, you can think of it that it's not really apples-to-apples for us. And as a result, we believe Google Search ad business could have benefited relative to services like ours is based a different set of restrictions from Apple. And given that Apple continue to take billions of dollars a year from Google Search ads, the incentive clearly exists for this policy discrepancy to continue.

According to what I read (not first hand, of course), he said that 10bn because of Apple's decision. That's a different thing than just saying 10bn, and to pressure Apple to let loose on privacy seems motivation enough to me.

I could never work for Amazon. I always write a followup email to my manager after any important interaction. I summarize what we talked about and what my next actions are supposed to be and what the expectations are. On occasion this saves me from having to redo stuff because of misunderstandings.

Potentially, but my favourite channels are those that don't jump cut in this way and still don't sound rehearsed. I think you're right about the generational thing, but also it speaks to a lack of effort on the creators part. Why learn to be a good presenter when you can have the technology take care of it for you?

I'm with you. I'm not following how reimbursing the original owner years and years ago gives the insurance company a stronger claim to ownership of a wreck than being the original owner (if un-reimbursed by insurance so that's not a factor, one supposes)
How did polkit even fall victim to this? I sometimes feel hesitant to include an argv[0] in my execvX functions because I know that it's only "a convention" and not an enforced rule, and no reasonable program should expect it to be there.
That's an interesting point. I used Rails extensively when I was a web developer. I gave this up when I shifted back to an analytical role and started writing much more numerical code in Python for analysis rather than application development.

If I were to write a web app, my first instinct would be to go back to Rails. However, I do agree with you that much as I like Ruby and Rails, Python would be my overwhelming choice for analytical or numerical code - and I do like Python.

One possibility would be to handle as much CRUD and UI development in rails as possible, and make analytical code available to the app through services in Python.

“Go and see” is great. I have been in a lot of discussions where people talked about something for hours that they had never seen first hand. It’s so valuable to see directly how your users are using your product or to see people’s workplace. With offshore people we had problems lingering for weeks until somebody went there, saw what they were actually doing and what equipment they had, and solved the problem quickly. Same for setting up equipment at customer sites. Struggle for months because the local sales guy doesn’t give you the correct information or go there and solve the problem in an hour with their IT guys.

All the data we are collecting is useful but seeing things directly is extremely useful. Seems the modern workplace is often becoming very abstract where everything is compartmentalized and people see only their little box.
If anything, what I wrote would lead to lower electricity costs.

I'd expect print to standardize on a subset originating in the days of physical type and manual setting, when every character removed from the printing set would ameliorate very real costs at just about every stage of production.
I would usually argue that there is no way the Facebook/Meta would die (it almost certainly wont) and so the question is redundant.

However because of the way Meta share ownership is structured Zuckerberg has complete control and the board/shareholders cannot eject him. Most (every?) other public company would go through multiple leadership changes over their lifetime as shareholders exert control. Zuckerberg seems to believe he is going to remain in total control forever, so who knows? Maybe one day the fact shareholders have no control will come back to bite him and the the share price will drop through the floor as confidence in him plumes to zero. Frankly maybe the last 48hours could be indicative of that.

In most companies the board would have required the resignation of the CEO after the historically bad results yesterday.

I suppose in some ways shares in Meta aren't really shares in Meta but shares in Zuckerberg himself.
You can use either or both... server-side comes out of the box, and is used by the getting started tutorial. API-based is also very common using django-rest-framework.

I'd say it is still a mix of both and both paths are well-supported and well-maintained.

Ask HN: How do you socialise with your extended family online?
Currently my extended family (~25 people) have a shared WhatsApp group in which we share milestones or any things deemed worthy. I am hoping to find a better way of keeping up to date, as the chat is very quiet. I hesitate to start posting regularly as I know others don't and it may dominate the conversation.

Clearly 25 is too many to have on video or phone call, as well as to speak individually on a regular basis. How does everyone keep up?
Interestingly we’re at the peak it seems. However none have shown any crazy adoption yet. Svelte seemed like it would be really popular but when pandemic hit I stopped hearing about it as much. Hopefully WASM will take over.

As someone who came from other MVC frameworks outside of Ruby, learning Rails has been a cluster-f of searching through documentation circa 2013. The whole rails “convention over configuration makes it easier” is a load of bologna, because the only way to know the “convention” is to either have gone to a rails boot camp, reading the docs top to bottom, or maybe watching rails casts.

The best way to work on rails is to either already know rails yourself, or be working with a rails guru, which admittedly there are a bunch of those.

At least with a configuration over convention you can just look at the code and figure out what is happening. With rails, there are certain magical things you just Need To Know and the only way to know those things are to already know them before running into it.
More young people die or are horribly injured in the years of "normal" living than would have died or suffered long term consequences from covid. Indeed the typical death spike in young people from normal risk taking was essentially removed by keeping them locked away.

Covid can and does have consequences for everyone. Look at the charts for actual rates and tell me with a straight face any healthy 20 year old needed to have their freedoms removed for that level of risk.
Sure COVID-19 will be endemic, can't put the genie back in the bottle now, but that doesn't mean we can't and shouldn't be trying to end the pandemic: r0 < 1. The vaccines and masks do a great deal to reduce those basic reproduction numbers.

Maybe millions dead, countless others not entirely recovered, isn't helping economies or folks mental health? I agree, that's all our own doing, but not because we "locked down" it's because we never actually did. There was never a lockdown (at least here in the US), middle class folk just stayed home while the lower class brought us our groceries and died.

You're lucky the virus hasn't effected you till now... guess you don't have any friends in the service, hospitality, or health care industries.

Also if you're in Florida, what do you care. Y'all basically YOLOing this and I don't think there's much in the way of government mandates.

Maybe step away from the keyboard, put on your mask, and chill the fuck out friend. People are dying. Stop being selfish.
Canada because like almost every civilized country you won't need to bear arms in defense of yourself. The populace is not as hostile or volatile as our good friends to the south, and despite not having 99 different levels of law enforcement and a massive for-profit prison system, the police generally manage to keep people safe.

Of course you can always find a few exceptions to this, but Canadians do not live in fear.
As i read it the insurance company reimbursed the crew that found the gold, and the insurance company owned the gold as well as they paid the original owners of the ship for their loss(but you can't own something that you don't have), they had to reimburse the crew that found it for their work/expenses etc. I might be wrong but that's what i got from the OP's story.
I've been wondering about when to use something like a SPA and when to use something like Rails recently. My understanding is that the two are getting closer, with React getting stuff like Next with server-side rendering, backend functions and stuff like that, while Rails is getting Hotwire to make richer interfaces easier.

My question is, how do you know when to choose which one? For example, I'm looking to build something that's in the "unbundling Excel" vein. The application will have lots of input from the users, and lots of graphs. It's supposed to be pretty interactive (once again to mimick Excel). And I'd like to build a SaaS out of it. What would you pick, and why? From what I understand a SPA would be better at the "heavy user interactions" part, and a regular MVC framework would be better at everything else. Maybe a combination of the two? But with limited development times, it seems like it would be slower to do that.
EBV is linked to many, many things. But why does it only have these effects in some people and not others? Why is the prevalance of weird EBV-linked conditions increasing with time?

The author takes a very narrow claim— that fax machines are popular in Japan— and expands it into a weak orientalist takedown of Japan’s objectively advanced society. They even go so far as to acknowledge infrastructure masterworks like Bullet trains only to discount them because of a (still globally used!) piece of office hardware that has fallen out of favor in the US tech sector. Whatever, dude…
So... I don't understand if you think there are too much restrictions due to covid, or not enough?

what are you suggesting? Restrict eating, smoking, drinking, motorcycling, force people to exercise?

Or are you suggesting that since we can't restrict all these things, we should restrict nothing?

I still fail to see how 2 vaccine shots a year compares to restricting what you're allowed to eat, smoke, drink, drive, and force exercise.
I already said that it is too inconvenient for me to do some kind of protest move which won’t make a difference. All that will accomplish is that I will have to travel longer to and fro.

I think the best learning experience is seeing you can still build and repair a computer yourself, so I had my 8yr old kid build his own gaming PC from scratch (with me standing by for guidance). We were about $1200 in with parts: motherboard, cpu, ram, nvme, chassis, dvd-rom, etc.

Then he got to help as we installed dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows, with Ubuntu being default :)

In windows I installed some games I felt ok about. Microsoft Flight Simulator, Kerbal Space Program, Pokemon TCG, his school office apps. But I only let him run Minecraft on the Linux side, so he will have to boot there and sort it out from time to time, with the bonus of a Minecraft server environment we've hacked a bit.

We're no longer in the 80s, that's for sure! But I think focusing on learning the components of hardware/software in computing are better done on a desktop than a laptop or tablet. There's really nothing to be learned in today's repair-hostile walled gardens.
> (Of course, "democratic" here has to be understood as including broadly liberal/freedom-promoting norms. Electoral politics on its own is beside the point.)

In other words, "democracy leads to less war" so long as by "democracy" you actually mean the polar opposite of actual democracy, which is electoral politics. It's orthogonal to, and frequently opposed to, those "liberal/freedom-promoting norms" which you correctly observe are actually responsible for peace. If you want peace you can't just introduce "democracy" in the form of elections and voting—you have to change the culture to respect natural rights and value freedom even when doing so in a particular situation may be contrary to popular sentiment.

In a society which endorses "liberal/freedom-promoting norms" the influence of democracy is minimal as power resides with free individuals making decisions for themselves and not the collective, and it makes little difference whether the few remaining issues—which naturally exclude anything which might infringe on individuals' natural rights—are decided by direct vote, elected representatives, or self-appointed leader(s).
That would be weak emergence.

You and I both, though they are a blessing and a curse. Profiles used to be my biggest issue with local and remote cred resolution, and then we layered AWS SSO on top of profile management, which doubled my problems. It’s all technically more secure and ultimately cleaner to work with when you know what to do, but trying to figure out how to transparently pass role based IAM creds into a running Fargate container to the AWS SDK was a lesson in pain (not to mention designing that to work locally). Lambda can fall through to an SSO/managed profile env fine if running w/o the container wrapper, and SAM plugins are pretty magic for making it work if you use their container, but otherwise I have been strongly avoiding custom OCI containers w/o SAM because the dev SDLC is going to require all kinds of env tweaking and cred directory mounts.
> "some folks just haven't noticed themselves"

Some folks don't enjoy tying themselves in knots. You are absolutely welcome to spend your precious seconds of limited life on it, but it doesn't make you superior, however much you would like to think it does. It's just a choice, like between working and playing.
And they aren’t the only one. And countless other companies depend on React “non-fundamentally” at this point.

React is Java now. At most it could start a gradual multi-decade decline (I don’t think this will happen, but it’s imaginable), but I’d bet consultants will still be getting paid to maintain/fix legacy React apps 40 years from now.
