That's a fascinating project to read about. The Australians currently have the world's best OTH radar from what I can tell, the capabilities of their system are incredible.

There's a nice video on Youtube of some Russian teenagers climbing up the Duga radar and walking along the top of it, it isn't for the faint hearted.
I wouldn't recommend that treatment daily, the time to experience it is kind of high unless you have an inhouse chef

I also find that kind of luxury isolates and alienates you
This stuff is still all confused

What you want is:

1. create "embryonic" unscheduled process

2. Set it up from the parent process, it just lies on the operating table passively.

3. Submit it to the scheduler.

This is just....obviously correct. Totally flexible. Totally efficient. Hell, if you really want to fork anything, fork those embryonic process which have no active threads! Much safer and easier to understand!

I did not write the paper above, but I did write

It kinda is, but it's more than just JSX. Solid was basically born out of Knockout and is in many ways a continuation of Knockout, but it has some relatively significant changes and additions to make this approach more viable, especially for large long standing projects. JSX is more of a quality of life thing, you don't even have to use it, Solid's runtime exists completely separately of JSX and can work great without it or even potentially be integrated with other templating languages.
True, Samsung makes a big deal of it. But they don’t actually deserve that title imo. They’re hardly a worthy contender. I am not an apple fan boy, but Samsung is just nowhere close to the apple experience.
Oddly, classified documents that could theoretically harm real people are legal to share with others but don’t you dare try to share the latest Beyonce track or there will be hell to pay.

Perhaps the RIAA should be in charge of national security from now on?
Reuters forgot to mention the second part of the argument. 150k+ Hungarian people do live in Ukraine and they could be attacked directly. All countries are allowed to assess the risks of involvement. Hungary's border with Ukraine is short anyway. Hungary participates in all sanctions, even though they hurt the country's economy a lot more than others. Some of the weapons are transported using Hungarian C17s by the way, so Hungary does actively participate according to the NATO and EU decisions.
> Perhaps those who support these plans could try countering these arguments

These discussions are being had, as part of the EU process. This is a proposal, not a decree, and is being submitted by a body with some democratic legitimacy.

> Some might argue that the government enforcing which websites are trusted looks a lot like a tyranny.

As long as the government is an actual expression of popular will, mediated through the various mechanisms of social democracy, it's hard to argue that it would be a less democratic stance than letting an unaccountable foreign company in charge of things.

> All valid points, but...using military force to seize control of another sovereign, democratic nation also undermines the entire economic system.

History disagrees.

> The point of these sanctions is to say - a country is not allowed the benefits of integration with the global economy if they are willing to use military force against it.

What happens when that country is no longer interested in the trade-offs required to "integrate into the global economy"?
Ask HN: Should I refactor/rewrite my personal project(that barely anybody uses)
I wrote a app for learning Japanese kanji when I was in college learning Flutter, I didn’t have any experience working on real world projects and barely have any knowledge of design pattern, architecture, clean code etc… I was young and naive, but had passion, so I started collecting data using scrappers I wrote in Python, organized them into a SQLite database, put a lot of example sentences and vocabulary on Firebase, then made an app using Flutter. I gradually added more features into the app after I released the first version, things like handwritten kanji recognition using Tensorflow lite and image text extraction using Google OCR api… I learned a lot, and by a lot, I mean a lot lot of stuff from making this app. The app is functioning just fine but the code is ugly as hell…for example attributes in data model classes are not final, doesn’t support dependency injection, etc….

After I started working, I learned a lot about how to write clean code and I always wanted to refactor/rewrite the whole app which gonna take a lot of effort and time of course. But every time I sat down, opened the old codebase, I hesitated, thought about it and told myself that it wasn’t worth it then continued my life.

do you have any personal project you always wanted to refactor/rewrite but still haven’t done or probably never will do so?

if you are interested, you can come see and compare the code of the kanji app and a new app I wrote recently:

What was required to prove - the ukranian are nazis, the nazis that as in ww2 discriminated by nation and now fascism is flourishing in Ukraine, the world will not forget the genocide that you have set up in Donbass. Just google the children of Donbass and you will find facts and pictures of these Nazis smiling in front of bombs with captions All for Children. Fuk Ukraine, fuk usa

What about apps that have no backend? What about apps that should work both online and offline?
Using the anonymized login function, you're limited to free ones only. You have to login with your Google account to be able to download apps you've bought.

Although I think that doesn't work for all apps, since apparently some require the genuine thing to register / activate and won't work with microG. No personal experience, just read that somewhere once.

Personally, I only use a single paid app through Aurora Store (Sun Locator Pro for my photography needs) and have only done that for two days now. Google hasn't banned my mint fresh account. Yet. ;)
covid ruined this in a lot of places. They’d verify your vaccination/negative test status at check-in.

It's ironic that some people are using "whataboutism" as some trump card argument when people compare this actions of other countries, and in some cases linking to the Wikipedia article, when the article itself [1] points out:

> Those who use whataboutism are not necessarily engaging in an empty or cynical deflection of responsibility: whataboutism can be a useful tool to expose contradictions, double standards, and hypocrisy.

And even notes that people have "criticized the usage of accusations of whataboutism by American news outlets, arguing that accusations of whataboutism have been used to simply deflect criticisms of human rights abuses perpetrated by the United States or its allies."

Whataboutism has meaning only in a specific context, and is not a mallet to beat down anyone who points out any double standard you're uncomfortable with.

Seriously, turn on the news once in a while.
I think that China will pay the price of its burgeoning relationship with Russia at some point. No country wants to be seen as Russia's enabler by the American public. The optics for China is bad: Xi / Putin "no limit" meeting just before the invasion, China may have shared US-provided intel information with the Russian,.. At the moment all the eyes are on Ukraine. But soon the world will start wondering who made that possible. And the American public is already biased toward China.

I would think following the same path is a bit risky for India.
While that me be true, Chinese sentiment is already fairly pro Russian built up from many years of propaganda. They could stop censoring the internet tomorrow and public sentiment would still be overwhelmingly pro Russian and anti American. They censor the internet more aggressively for local issues or because they want to manipulate public sentiment in some way that is more guiding rather than drastic (eg get a bunch of people to protest the Japanese embassy in Beijing…and then get them to go home when that gets out of control).
They need to be addressed. Just like Saudi, Israeli, US and other war crimes.

However, I don't see why should India compromise its food security and safety for that?
I've never had a parent or relative or in-law-equivalent that made me fond of their cooking. Given how much other people associate a good experience with the meals they had prepared by them, I feel like I would love that! But I mostly feel that everyone else is delusional. People really thought I was a picky eater, turns out it was just the local cuisine I guess.
I have social anxiety, and I feel like deadlines and public commitments stress me out and distract from actual work. The more work feels like non-committed play and less like social obligation, the better.

However, deadlines work best for me if I am genuinely helping someone. So setting an arbitrary deadline is less productive than asking something like "I need that tomorrow because I would like to show that to client". Possibly because helping others is always, in some sense, uncommitted.
Every parent looks back on the books they read to their little ones. But it's not so much the books themselves that are so special, but those irreplaceable and so-brief years where you had a baby, then a toddler, to read bedtime books to.
ASML is still selling (and ofc maintaining) older generation machines. They also refurbishing the generations before that and still giving them customized upgrades for example for making radio frequency chips, LEDs. So yes, these processes still exist and are also out of capacity.

At first this was strange to me: why all fabs out of capacity from low to mid to high... But I guess it is similar to a housing market, where for example rich people want to live in bigger houses but overall price is roughly per square meter impacting the entire market. There must also be some chips who are okay with every resolution as long as they can book a slot somewhere. I can also imagine some chips even though they don't require the latest fabs do have much more value than AMD CPU/GPU.
> a country is not allowed the benefits of integration with the global economy if they are willing to use military force against it.

Instead of hurting just Russia, this is literally hurting every country.

I really hope we can do something good for everybody, but my fallible mind has its limit.
Are we talking about the risk of the company being entirely destroyed, or the risk of it being made inconvenient for them to serve Russian customers? I figure this thread is about the second one since those are the consequences that are happening now. If they don't particularly need Russian customers to survive, it doesn't seem like they made a mistake in not preparing against that risk more.

You might think that but the collective actions of the west suggest differently.
I mean, no it doesn't. But assuming it does for a moment, are you suggesting that the whole western world right now is advocating for the genocide of the Russian people?
I think this is a naive reading of historic events. The US didn't "open pizza huts" but collaborated vigorously and enthusiastically in the looting of Soviet state assets post-collapse.
We should stop using diagonal size metric for display. It's fine for TVs that have fixed aspect ratio, but confusing for multiple aspect ratio.
Kyiv was originally the capital of the Russia. They want it back. Chernobyl was just along the path to Kyiv.
Fact is that the weapons are partly transported by Hungarian C-17 planes. Hungary EU and NATO member and executes her duties, but if possible I think it is OK to try to reduce risks.
This is true but their biggest food trading partner is actually Brazil (second biggest is US though...) which would decline to impose sanctions on China. This is because Brazils economy is highly reliant not just on food exports to China but also iron ore.

They have already declined to impose sanctions on Russia because of their reliance on Russia for raw materials and fertilizer.
And number you gave is?
Some people want that but actually they are a really small percent of people overall. On CrowdSupply the Librem and Novena laptop projects did not have more than 1k orders. Although it is a huge credit to both of those projects to develop new hardware products and be so successful to begin with.

In fact, this laptop goes in the opposite direction, it's not intended to be modified as much by the user. It's one that runs Windows 11 with some feature called "S mode" ('S' as in Secure). In S mode there is some kind of secure boot and apps can only be installed through the Windows Store. A user with admin rights can disable S-mode but it can then never be re-enabled after that.

So actually this laptop is not intended to be open at all, it is marketed for business where the environment can be more locked down and secure.

Her most satisfying book to read out loud is "The Little Island". If you liked "Goodnight Moon" then you'll find this to be an absolute treat. It's also a somewhat odd story, but it's the book that I enjoyed reading to my son the most.

BTW, the book that I disliked reading the most was "The Little Engine That Could". It felt jarring to read -- like I never could quite catch my breath or my rhythm.
For anyone who wants a thorough understanding of how to think about React hooks in the context of things like setInterval, Dan Abramov wrote a great piece breaking it down in detail several years ago: https://overreacted.io/making-setinterval-declarative-with-r...

This post helped hooks "click" for me, and once it did, I've absolutely loved them and now thoroughly enjoy writing custom hooks that greatly simplify my code.
No, they did not. Nobody did actually expect invasion in Russia. Neither civilians, nor army. Putins orders came as a total surprise, he was not expected to cross the border.
At worst everybody was thinking about new escalation in Donbas. The military buildup was considered a strategic negotiation game.
Flutter, Jetpack Compose, and SwiftUI all have React-like components.
I strongly disagree.

Universities already utilize government funding for research with potential business applications to the maximum extent with the minimum effort required to seek commercialization. Just ask any Director of Technology Transfer.

Because universities have no insight into what research has merit for business purposes, nor have they made any serious effort to discover it after decades of this funding, they farm graduate students into predatory policies designed to treat them like future lottery tickets (corporations).

Government-funded labs sit open while graduate students cannot conduct their research because of the total control administrations now exert - pretending to be VCs because these facilities are under their control.

There are millions of university patents produced yearly. Millions. Yet the commercialization rate is close to 0, even at the best.

The missing input is founders. The rarest ingredient in inventing businesses are founders. But universities treat them as deposable - including when they are from their own faculty.

The public requires no other return than the jobs (and payroll tax) they create - that was the justification for the bill.

This means that universities are committing fraud by preventing commercialization efforts - which they do by action, policy and neglect.

The ASU Foundation has made some strides in minting “founder friendly” commercialization policies, but we’re a long way off from anything to be proud of.
That’s not how global economies work.

Countries depend on each other for goods and natural resources.

North Korea is largely isolated economically and they’re not thanking the world for their self-sufficiency.

Check out Russia’s top 10 imports:

https://www.worldstopexports.com/russias-top-10-imports/

They don’t produce enough computers, machinery, vehicles, etc. to support their population.

If those imports get cut off no one is thanking Putin. You can’t just spin up a national car company or a pharmaceutical company that quickly to compensate. It’s just a loss as quality of life and consumer spending goes down, dragging the economy down with it.

Russia already tried this back when they were called the USSR and it was a disaster. Their envoys to DC thought our American grocery stores were staged because they couldn’t believe the US had fresh fruit available to the average citizen and no bare shelves.
> Like the author of this post, I appreciate Solid's API because component's only render (i.e. run) once by default and then you define which sections of the component should re-render on changes by using "signals" provided by the library (e.g. `createSignal()` and `createEffect()`). In react, the entire component re-renders on every change and you need to specify which code should _not_ re-run. This was necessary because of the way react was created, but strikes me as fundamentally flawed.

I don't particularly like React, but this strikes me as the one thing it got right; the only "always correct" thing to do is to rebuild the VDOM on any change, so that's the default.

Then you can be more selective about which parts as performance dictates.
One of the most compelling things about Solid.js is that it integrates some of React's most important (IMO, probably aside from the central idea of UI as a function of state) ideas for writing applications, Suspense, ErrorBoundary, useTransition.
Do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not a violation of Uk sovereignty? Is that not an abuse of their power?
I personally love the front end frameworks, and I don’t find them frustrating at all. Knockout was a workhorse until angular came along. And then vuejs. And now I use sveltekit for pretty much any web app.

The frameworks are popular because you can build things incredibly quickly once you know the ins and outs of your framework of choice. The component-style design, the endpoint design, so much is just driven by the needs of web-based development and the framework creator’s preferred way of abstracting away some of the challenges.
Yeah, this is breeding more isolationism and distrust; now I have to take nationalistic concerns into account when choosing service providers, and wonder who else might pull a Namecheap in the future.
The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is not an arbitrary reason to wipe out a TLD.
Using a Samsung phone now, and you're absolutely right. It's a shitshow.

> Studying the opinions and physical responses that her stories elicited made her feel like a literary detective; she called the exercise chasing “leads.” She later declared that children were the true authors of many of her books: she was “merely an ear and a pen.”

This was the most fascinating detail to me about Brown’s writing process. She was essentially doing “user testing” with her drafts — observing how children responded to see what worked and what didn’t.

The poster was arguing that, when a university/corporate partnership invents something, the law should ensure the university doesn't get screwed.

The responder was pointing out, in this case, the law could be infinitely strong in allocating credit to the university but it wouldn't help because this case was about whether they invented the thing at all.
My experience is that Pixel devices are far and away more competent than Samsung in many regards, but with the caveat that Samsung devices ship in a finished, stable state, but Pixel devices ship as if they’re not quite finished. The software is usually OK, but the hardware tends to be lacking in many regards. This is terrible since hardware can’t really be fixed later down the road, at BEST software workarounds can be employed.

The first Pixel was reasonably solid all around and mine lasted quite a while. The Pixel 2 XL’s terrible screen was my first hint that Google was not prepared to carry the torch of a true flagship phone.

That said: I would still often prefer the accidentally broken Pixel phones over the intentionally gimped and bloated Samsung phones. I just can’t buy one at launch, because I have no idea how Google will have fucked it up this time.

Why does it become limiting? From what I understand you can send a message to some other a end to do the heavy processing?
Maybe, but in my experience whenever I encounter an incomprehensible mess of hooks it usually ends up because devs were not using all the tools that react provides.

For example a flurry of setStates could be wrapped up in one single state. If it gets too complex - into a reducer.

Components that don’t benefit much from splitting up could have their business logic wrapped into a context, and let the view code be just jsx without all the interweaving of code and templates.

Maybe the one benefit of classes was like it forced you to think in business logic, then render. React still has that, you just need to dive a bit deeper into its toolbox.

The result usually turns out much more flexible - contexts neatly wrap business logic for all of its descendants, classes don’t.

I think this was maybe because react actually allows you to write messy code, and it’s still performant and works. But in the end it just kinda postpones the inevitable maintenance burden.

I guess solid.js from the looks of it might postpone it a bit more. I just worry that solid looks more like magic, and some invariant somewhere will just break and I wouldn’t know what sequence of reactions actually led to that infinite loop that crashed the page. Haven’t tried it myself though, might more understandable in the end…
It's depressing that any entity can have monopolistic ownership over CRISPR.

If someone wins, will they prevent people from using the technique without a hefty licensing fee? How much potential is there for this to slow scientific progress?
Seems ripe for "use it or lose it" patent policies. It's good when research is going towards useful things, but having all of those patents locked up is not serving anyone.
