I think Ember was a lot closer to a complete framework. I do believe that that's also why it didn't gain as much popularity. The learning curve was a lot steeper than for React or Angular. You won't run into the problems with the slimmer libraries till later and at that point you understand them and "just" learn the new thing, Redux or wherever you are including now. All along the way it feels smooth, but you end up with some more complicated, glued together whole. With a larger framework you might end up with something less complex and cleaner in the end.

I think on the backend we historically have had more complex problems sooner. You gotta connect to some database, serve multiple pages, track some context along, render views or API responses. It's much easier to anticipate the need for a framework or solutions to these problems sooner.

most apps don't need to be SPAs -- they could be normal HTML templates with a sprinkle of JS on top to make it more "dynamic".
This is off topic, I was responding to OP's statement that online ads are always useless

You may well find that any societal usefulness is offset by your own principles, whether that's privacy or aversion to tech or aversion to capitalism or aversion to marketing or aversion to small businesses or what have you. Can't argue with principles, and I won't try. The topic though is whether there is any societal usefulness or not.
Yeah, it's very Euro-left, which I always find quaint and cozy (also doomed). Like, the magazine cover shown has the text / article titles:

1. The Cause of Labor is the Hope of the World.

2. Sheila Rowbotham - My Life in Women's Liberation (I haven't read it, but probably a humane and contemplative article)

3. Grace Blakely - The Radical Message of Christian Socialism (me: can it be resurrected?)

4. Anton Jager - From Post-Politics to Hyper-Politics (this nostalgic article)

5. Sarah Sultana - Why the Left should Reclaim Freedom

They're so nice and comfortable and old-timey. They're all longing for the good old days. It's like curling up under a blanket with a cup of tea.

Lol. As if Banks will give you back your money if they lose it due to incompetence or malicious behavior? No. You have the bring in the news media at the very least and have the resources to pressure them. There was an article about this on HN literally yesterday.

Totally agree with this and wanted to add this point as well: "Least Effective" designation is often political.

Amazon claims to be data driven, so it assumes that a manager can stack rank their employees and select the lowest performer. But let's all be totally honest here, it's impossible to quantitatively rank employee performances. Any real attempt to do this results in Goodhart's law.

So either managers follow some quantitatve measurement (most CRs, least revisions, most stories done, etc) and ignore things that matter and can't be measured. Or they attempt some sort of qualitative measurement that almost always turns into who YOU (the manager) is most comfortable working with.

Stack ranking and cutting is a broken system that is inhuman. But it fits right in with Bezos' transactional mindset.

A big thing a lot of people forget -- you can deploy most Rails apps to serverless/lambda (where individual controller actions are automatically mapped to individual lambdas) using Ruby on Jets with minimal to no changes to the original app. A lot of people think of Rails as a bit antiquated but that particular setup is imo ahead of what serverless framework even offers and definitely gets around the traditional problems of scaling rails app servers.
Exactly. In the old world, ads were attached to matching content, which gave an incentive to produce insightful pertinent content (and develop a reputation in a certain content subject area). Those ads were not much of a problem.

Today, the ad industry tracks the user, and ads are attached to matching user interest, which gives an incentive to produce arbitrary, but addictive content, with most of the benefit accruing to the ad oligopolies instead of the content producers.

That's for sure, not all mobile games are bad, but the majority out there (especially those pushed by stores) are bad because only those have the $$ for monetization (aka pushed to front).

I guess we can always ban store access and only download the "good" ones, which is one solution that does not toss the baby out.
That's more than most of my blog posts :-) Blogger says I have "20 followers" but some people subscribe via RSS. I would normally get ~50 views and ~0 comments.
Also I'd say that it starts out pretty well and your earning potential increases quickly, which for a lot of people matters a lot.

I'd echo what you say and say the trades can be great if you also have a talent for the business side. Otherwise, you plateau pretty quickly and your body starts giving out.
Software doesn't need to be updated constantly (and certainly should not be web based). It shouldn't have a single vuln. Vulns are because of hobbiest amateurs from the 90s who don't know what they're doing. Real vulns like side channels (no, not the intel bullshit) occur once every 20 years. So there should be an update once every 20 years. I can still use an image viewer from the 2000s for modern use cases. It should have been finalized in 2000 and the dependencies shoudve stayed the same. Gnome 3 was not needed.
Massive negative externalities are exactly what the levers of policy and taxation should be pulled to address.

If corporations pass the tax to consumers and the price of their product becomes undesirable using current mechanisms of production, who cares? That's an unsustainable business. If the product is a necessity, run it as a non-profit government utility or businesses can adapt with technology.
This is an amazing read. I too was looking for this for a while.

Sure, Amazon devices use it. On those devices, it's not a third-party app store, it's a first-party one.

The question here is specifically about if anyone can be convinced to use third-party app stores.
Nowadays the only choice you’re really making is which styling library to use and which state management. Everything else is a given.

Anyways, if you know enough about FE to have an opinion on the tooling, great, choose what you want. If you don’t wanna choose, use Next.js or CRA with React/Styled-Components and then add React Router if you need routing and add state management if you need it.

These aren’t difficult choices to make. I have a feeling that the problem is that people are trying to make decisions they don’t need to be making up front.

Evaluate the choices when you reach a situation that requires it.
Exactly. Milk is treated like toxic waste because of cow farts, but incompetent oil companies spew waste or flare gas for operational reasons. Trivial issue to fix.

I’ve recently been piano shopping. The premier brand with name recognition is Steinway. The major competition for a new Steinway is a used Steinway.
As pianos age, various components wear out, crack, break. There’s a huge industry of piano technicians who rebuild pianos, relying upon specialists for components such as soundboards. There are rebuilding companies which use the exact same wood in their soundboards as Steinway, and employ technicians who had worked at Steinway for 30 years shaping and installing these soundboards.
The resulting piano has a soundboard made from the same wood, aged in the same way, shaped the same way, installed by the same person, into an original Steinway case, refinished using the same finish, applied using the same technique, strung with the same strings, with new Steinway hammers, on an action refurbished with Steinway parts, connected to original Steinway keys, and yet, according to Steinway, it’s not a Steinway.

As of ~2018, Steinway no longer authorizes an official aftermarket label used by rebuilders for their soundboards, claiming that only a piano using genuine Steinway components in the sound generating portion of the piano - is a Steinway. The soundboard is included in the list of components, and Steinway won’t sell a genuine Steinway soundboard to piano rebuilders. They’re only available in the Steinway rebuilding shop, where you can imagine that rebuilding your old Steinway costs as much as a brand new Steinway.
So, all these rebuilt Steinways are using illegal trademarks according to Steinway.
The rebuilding community appears to generally ignore this trademark issue, and continues to apply the Steinway brand to these remanufactured pianos. Old Steinway are regularly sent down to Mexico for rebuilding, and return across the border with these fake trademarks. The pianos are advertised online, honestly, as a rebuilt 1926 Steinway Model B, rebuilt in 2021. Nobody is being fooled into thinking this piano from 1926 was put into storage and pulled out in 2022 looking brand new and sounding like a brand new piano. Yet Steinway threatens to sue.
These Shop Safe restrictions will give the Steinway lawyers even more tools to stop this knockoff trade impinging upon their copyright.

It’s as if a BMW dealer won’t sell BWM badges to a body shop because the drivers seat was replaced with a Ricardo seat. Or a better analogy is that the drivers seat, the pedal covers, the steering wheel, the shift knob, the transmission, the engine, the wheels and the tires are what makes a BMW, “the ultimate driving experience”, and if you change any of those components, you can no longer claim it’s a BMW, and if you do, you’re infringing upon the BMW trademark… while only selling new BWM tires through the BMW service department, that cost as much as a new BMW.

I see. I definitely think it is content (I wouldn’t draw a distinction between origin), but I can see how you have a different interpretation.

When you use Instagram do you see ads or posts from people who aren’t your friends or family members? I’ve never used it so I’m not sure how the algorithms work.

Personally if someone is my friend and has something worth sharing they’ll tell me about it directly or send me a picture. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. I’ve had people I was friends with move and we’ve lost touch and so forth. I don’t see a reason to struggle to try and stop that myself. Been pretty happy this way but that is what works for me.
Sound is weird on iOS web. Also, they basically unilaterally decided to say "nah, we're good" to web Bluetooth. I think that could have opened up a lot of awesome stuff. As it stands, getting that to work is possible but the steps to get there are multiplied ten-fold.
I used it. It was accurate though. The website attempted to serve two purposes. To warn potential students and to allow the professors to be more self aware.

It failed on the second purpose, but at least it helped me avoid or anticipate a hard or incompetent professor.

arithmetic is a subset of mathematics but its a part that gets in the way of understanding

you cant prove things abstractly using numbers for the most part, you can test cases

in a very glib way:

arithmetic: 1,2,3,… i bet you i can count really high. Arithmetic is integers and while those are cool they are ordered

mathematics: what kind of objects behave this way can i prove there are finitely many or infinity many. The field of complex numbers is not ordered

very different

there hasn’t been a universal mathematician for a very long time and you must choose for your own sanity and productivity what you’re gonna spend your energy on

are you going to calculate then don’t go into
“modern” abstract mathematics

you have to choose what you’re priorities are going to be and everything else has to take a backseat
This has suprised me twice, once in my own code where i ended up ot really understand the problem but just mutated the code till it worked and then later when I was helping someone with their code and the way they structured the question made the still suprising answer memorable.

A fix wouldn't be unwelcome but it seems it would have a good chance to cause performance regression - a lot more allocated values maybe on a lot of inner loops. I guess escape analysis might help avoid the allovations in the general case. ?
Thank you! And not parallel, alas. The image compiles to a graph, where contiguous regions are nodes and adjacent regions form edges.

Regarding differentiation, the logic gates could look like a differential equation. Between iterations, input nodes amass a binary vector from adjacent wires, and pass them onto adjacent output nodes. So, mapping {0,1}^n --> {0, 1}, you could write them all in terms of some periodic function. (E.g. xor implemented with sin, or implemented with a sigmoid made from a quarter of a sin, etc.)

Either way, yeah! There is plenty of room to speed this up
> It's a rare for-profit institution provides services at cost.

In a healthy market, competition forces down the price of services approach such that they approach cost. A large profit margin can indicate a free market failure, such as a barrier to entry.

(it may also represent some kind of necessary capital investment for entry, but I don't think that's the case here)
What assurances can you give that you will be around in a year because I think this could get crippled easily regardless of how you are doing the fetching on the backend (scraping, api, nitter).

And my point is that the bucolic pastoral life only exists as created by humans. Everywhere else almost all animals are subject to the whims of the food chain, which can be as cruel if not more cruel than we humans. It's a much wider variation, for sure, but I simply do not understand the moral superiority that animal rights activists feel.

Like, veganism because methane emissions are accelerating global warming? I can get behind that. Veganism because of some dietary need someone has? Sure. But veganism because we are mean to animals? You're stretching it...
Also because of a tendency for them to release their best products as Japan-only. "Galapagos phones" are a good example. When I visited in 2009, they were still much more capable devices than the then-available iPhone. But by being unavailable outside Japan, they had no hope of winning global market share.
It's the one your body generated. Your body took all its data, generated your mind out of that and experiences your mind. For anything else to happen, you'd have to pipe the signal of your mind (that your body generated) into someone else's brain.

It's like you're asking why is this computer that I generated this data visualization from this data on this computer displaying this data visualization on this computer. Umm, because that's what you asked it to do and that's the default? For anything else to have happened, you would have had to redirect the output to a network and then go receive it on a different computer.
> I hope you're right, but the current...

Can I ask why you think the government can run utilities better than a private company? (Not trolling - actually interested in other opinions). My understanding as to why trains [0], etc moved to private ownership in the past was because a lack of competition, unions, and other factors caused massive inefficiencies. Looking at the NHS right now, no matter how much money the tax payer pours into it, it simply isn't efficient enough.

Basically I remain unconvinced the government can run a utility company better than a private organisation can which has efficiency as a primary goal.

[0] Now trains seem bloody expensive to me - but were they in the 80's? Or were they subsidised by the tax payer...
Genuine question. Is there any evidence that the thousands of Americans who have gone vegan over the last few years have reduced the carbon footprint of the meat producing industry at all? I checked us beef production, and the numbers are basically flat since 2000 increasing slightly since 2014.[1]

If thousands of people going vegan don’t reduce the beef production in this country at all, have they really saved any carbon at all? Would love to see someone with a good data science background look into this.

It’s all well and good to talk about personal consumption as if it has fixed carbon cost associated with it, but you have to remember that not consuming doesn’t reduce the emissions unless it affects production.

It’s still probably good to reduce consumption because it could affect the production, but it may not be enough to cause any change at all.

People don't want to store gold and valuable at home without insurance. There are businesses that will store your gold for you. And yes home robberies do occur along with disasters from flood, quakes, and weather.
Can be all valid points, but then who would want to run around with $20k in their pocket on a vacation, for example (paperwork for crossing borders aside)?

That presupposes that (a) panpsychism or semi-panpsychism is false (i.e. that qualia are not inherent properties of either anything at all, nor of "any sufficiently complex system") and that (b) there is a "how" that can be answered.

Isn't the point of the index that it reflects precisely this? Because the chain of production of the burger is globally standardized, its intrinsic value should be expected to be the same everywhere.

UK energy bills are something like this. About 15% of a dual fuel bill goes both on subsidising renewables and social payments.

> The other issue we have in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) is that the cost of energy is borne by the tenant, but the cost of renovations would be borne by the landlord. This means that landlords have no incentive to improve the energy efficiency of their houses, and tenants have no ability to. We should be changing that - make landlords of energy inefficient houses pay for it.

All rented properties (unless with an excemption) will have to achieve a EPC rating of "E" by 2023 and by 2025 will have to achieve "C". The intention is for that to rise to "B" by 2030:

> people who think that consciousness is not a hard problem are P-Zombies that can't experience the problem

I've come to the same conclusion. Meaning no disrespect or insult to them, it seems to me that it must be the case that some folks just haven't noticed themselves.

P.D. Ouspensky talks about learning to "remember myself" in "In Search of the Miraculous" and describes how it was for him to practice changing from thinking one is self-aware to actually becoming self-aware moment-to-moment. There's a passage...

> Two hours later I woke up in the Tavricheskaya, that is, far away. I was going by izvostchik to the printers. The sensation of awakening was extraordinarily vivid. I can almost say that I came to. I remembered everything at once. How I had been walking along the Nadejdinskaya, how I had been remembering myself, how I had thought about cigarettes, and how at this thought I seemed all at once to fall and disappear into a deep sleep.

I suspect people who think that consciousness is not a hard problem must be still "asleep" in this sense, effectively P-Zombies, although the potential is there to become self-aware beings.

> as a materialist, I have a really hard time accepting that my self/experience can't be explained materialistically.

Okay, fair enough, but then you have the infinite regress problem. How do you explain material itself materialistically?
Everything but food, clothing, and a place to live are things we don't need. There are countless additional luxuries that make life more convenient or enjoyable. I found out about Instant Pots from ads, and when I finally decided to check it out and found it interesting I bought one. It has significantly improved my after-work quality of life multiple times a month with large reductions in food prep time.

I found out about glowforge the same way and added a very useful & revenue generating tool to a small side-business I run.

So I don't mind a little bit of targeted ads. I don't regard them as inherently bad. I do however believe that each individual should have complete control over the process as it relates to their own personal data.
I want to consume good. In order to consume good, I must purchase good from company. I have no say in how good was produced.

The goal is to align incentives such that companies can produce goods without destroying the planet. The goods themselves are not the issue.
