I'm aware, but the discussion about the failures of spas always center around their failures in maintainable code. So if one's issues with SPAs are codebases becoming unmanageable, the solution won't be technical, it's going to be managerial.

A start would be devs communicating to product & design what the technical limits are to the current approach so that it informs their decisions.
>> look at what happened to PUBG when they used Epic's engine

> They made a lot of money.

They reportedly worked with Epic Games on technical support for PUBG features, and Epic Games may've ended up using some of them in their own Battle Royale mode:

> Notably, Epic Games updated their in-development title Fortnite, a sandbox-based survival game that included the ability to construct fortifications, to include a battle royale mode that retained the fortification aspects. Known as Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic later released it as a standalone free-to-play game in September 2017. Shortly after its release, Bluehole expressed concerns about the game, acknowledging that while they cannot claim ownership of the battle royale genre, they feared that since they had been working with Epic for technical support of the Unreal engine, that they may have had a heads-up on planned features they wanted to bring to Battlegrounds and could release it first.

Note the article says this is 3 days a week. I also imagine there is a ton of flexibility at Google WRT hours so you can try to time it before or after rush hour.
I guess like most companies, return to office means show your hand see if you have enough power to convince them otherwise.
Russia will first tease and provoke with some nuke in the ocean, then someone's territorial waters, then somewhere in Ukraine, then in some small NATO country like Baltics.

Their fucked up bully goal is to be attacked so they can retaliate with full force.

They'll go one provoking everyone, but when first soldier will be killed by a NATO soldier (which might not even be factual) it's suddenly a drama and oh no poor Russia is invaded by fascists.
> It's been so frustrating watch this play out over the past decade.

> I keep seeing projects that could have been written as a traditional multi-page application pick a SPA architecture instead, with the result that they take 2-5 times longer to build and produce an end-result that's far slower to load and much more prone to bugs.*

Its been frustrating seeing the webplatform not play out, seeing so little growing in to SPAs, so little maturing.

Url-based routing is heavily under-represented, tackes on only by the one or two blokes who happened to have some memory of web architecture. This clairifies the architecture both internally & externally.

As bad a problem, single page apps being stuck, forever, at single-bundle apps is phenomenally sad. Splitting bundles into chunks as a manual development task is so hard, so bad. The goal of having web based modules almost made sense, almost happened, but we rafically underinvested in transport technology, cache-digest going undelivered. I continue to think js modules, with import maps- the key tech to making modules modular- is worth it, would help make our architecture so much better. There is mild extra time to first load, but worth it/small, & cached after.

Again we're damned though.
Years too late to try & see how excellent it would be to have something like react cached & AOT compiled as from a cdn. Because now privacy concern freak-outs mean this huge advantage of only needing to pull & potentially compile a js module once are gone: site-partitioning rules. We could have had better architecture, been using the language not absurd bundlers, and enjoyed high cache bit rates for common libraries. SPAs just didnt care, never tried at all, we all (almost all) did a horrible job & took way way too long (over a decade) to make modules modular g usable. There was so much hope g promise & such abaurd non-delivery, on the module front, on app archtiecture.

HTTP3 and early-hints still have some promising hopes for accelerating our transports, making "just modules" a possibility & fast, without careful hand optimization. We could still do more to optimize bundles, have automated tools that analyze up front versus on-demand dependency bundles, build http bundles of these. But i hope eventually itcs mostly not super necessary to build webpackage (nor far worse, webpack) bundles.

SPAs still have great potential. More so, now that we finally have some support tech for modules forming.
That’s the fault of jetbrains, not java. They release it with way too old JRE with custom patches and quite shitty default arguments, while it works eons better with no argument at all on an up-to-date jdk, but even more so with the single setting of a low-latency GC, ZGC.

The JVM is a beast, why do you think a good deal of all serious web applications run on top of it?
Well, it's a little different. For one, Ukraine took all of these militia groups and made them a standard part of their military's operations. Apparently they've been working to defang the rhetoric of this particular group, but for Putin to pretend like he gives a shit about fascism given that he's currently the highest profile fascist world leader is a bit ridiculous.

They are the most powerful and influential country on earth currently. America has economic inertia, but cannot win wars anymore with the most well funded and technically advanced military, and they no longer make things (largely). They had a good run but this is sunset for USA and sunrise for China (which started decades ago but I feel matured after the last fiscal crisis the US had in the late 2000's. America won't be over tomorrow, just like the Britain wasn't forgotten overnight after they lost their global superpower status 100 years ago.

Yes.

I despise this attitude. Almost everyone who gets old dies painfully. Are you going to kill yourself at 45 to avoid aging?

And this idea that only life in a city is worth living -- what the hell? Of course life lived hand to mouth outside a city is worth living.
Over the last few decades we've lulled ourselves into a false sense of security. The reality is that the number, deliverability, and distribution of nuclear weapons has continued to increase.

It is only a matter of time before we see some degree of nuclear weapons use.

If limited, it might cause a major shift in how humans choose to distribute themselves. Living in a city might come to be seen as an unnecessary liability.
There used to be lots of meetup announcements in the first few years of HN. I don't know when that slowed down, but I also lived nowhere near most of them for over a decade (small town, good work, but not a big tech scene).

I wonder how much of that is Samsung's OS+Software. I had the top of the line Samsung Note (forget which generation). Felt slow, laggy, unpleasant to use, and even the home button had a very noticeable lag to it.

Was a pain to root, had to jump through a few hoops, but did manage to get Cyanogen on there. The result felt WAY better, snappy, better scrolling, much less aggressive at killing apps, faster app switching, minimal lag for the home button, and generally just a pleasure to use. I mentioned this in various forums and the theory was that Samsung was optimizing for benchmarks instead of multitasking. Even things like switching apps to use maps or contacts during a call would cause whatever app you were using to be killed. I returned the Samsung Note to stock before selling it, and checked, and sure enough it felt sluggish and even with just 2-3 apps going when I switched I'd get a splash screen as the app relaunched after being killed.

I "upgraded" to a pixel, that had less ram and CPU, and it felt WAY better than the stock Samsung Note. I do wonder if your results are related to the Samsung software being optimized for benchmarks (i.e. running the clock high, killing off anything that's not fullscreen currently, etc) instead of interactive use. Generally the OnePlus phones seem to be closer to pure android than Samsung from what I can tell.

I think it might be simpler?

The more complex products are the only ones that typically have any documentation or up to date learning resources.

You want to learn how to build a thing and this is the only thing that really exists, is up to date, and works.

It may not be the right tool, but for someone new it's impossible to tell what the right tool is and people online are stereotypically obtuse and about anything tool related.

Russia does not need allies to defeat the Ukrainian army. Given enough time they will win, even if sanctions/aid to Ukraine make it a pyhrric victory.

Part of the sluggishness has been the desire for the "targeted strike", something that appears to have been reversed with the less discriminate bombing of the last 24 hours.
Sharing a project with the world and taking time to document it reeks of privilege? I really can't understand your reasoning.

I don't think we really have a good definition of a superpower that fits the modern world. But I think it's a fair claim that China currently lacks (or appears to lack) the force projection required to fit the traditional description.

I do not think the question is wether or not Ukraine will fall to the Russian state. But if the Russian economy and current government will stay viable through the duration of the war.

Global sanctions applied correctly could cause a refugee crises in Russia population ~144 million. In short, Russian people need their basic needs met. Just like any human. They will go where that can happen more easily if their own country can not provide. 57,792 kilometres of Russian boarder length is ripe for exit.

They absolutely can, if your workload is ideal for this situation, but unfortunately, the most "expensive" (in terms of time, money, computing power, you name it) part of giving a user information is typically the filtering and collation of that information from a much larger pool of information — almost always a pool of information that is far too big and too private to just send to the client to sort through locally.

Even in the most simple scenarios, you quickly find your limits. If you get data back, but it's paginated (and it almost always has to be, for basic reliability reasons as much as anything else), you can't be guaranteed to have the complete set of data in a given circumstance, so you can't perform operations like filtering, pivoting, or sorting that data locally. You have to ask the server to do this for you and wait for the response, just like we've had to in the past.
I'm knee deep in the data tooling space myself and it's quirky at first but not too surprising.

This resembles the Google Cloud acquisition of Kaggle, or Microsoft's acquisition of Github. For better or for worse, these larger players / platforms are buying a large community around the hip tool. Snowflake wants to be a giant data platform company, not just "another data warehouse".
How can Romania as a NATO member possess a MIG 21?
I work for a large company, and my team has changed so much since before covid.

Before Covid:

5 people in the same New York office, 1 remote in Europe

Today:

2 in New York, 2 in California, 1 in Ohio, 1 in Europe

There is no single office to return to. Though we could meet up with other coworkers on different teams and projects. But in essence we've become a remote team.

Has anyone else's teams become geographically distributed since covid?
I believe they mean from the perspective of the employer. If a team has been able to fully function these past two years and the employees prefer working from home, there's little — if any — justification the employer can make for the return to office.
Is there a "now what?" if the board is compromised? I have... difficulty... understanding what you could possibly do to prevent full distributed system compromise if one hardware node is compromised. You seem very certain that something can be done, and I trust you, so I can trust that something can be done, but perhaps the solutions in this space elude me. I'll keep watching this space, but my pessimism may leak through from time to time.
This makes me think of cinema. Most people who watch films at home watch them on a far smaller screen than they were made for and the picture encompasses a far smaller portion of the field of view. Cinemascope films are supposed to fill almost all of the horizontal field of view. IMAX films are supposed to fill your entire field of view (extending right into the peripheral).

I'm sure many people have tried, like me, to sit closer to the screen so it fills more of your field of view. But even though the angle might be the same, the experience is not. This is true even if you view with one eye. So it makes me think there is something else at play other than just viewing angles.
> Having a difficulty selection doesn't remove anything from the game.

I actually seriously disagree here. Especially with Souls games. Difficulty, whether it scales with your abilities or not, etc, is a pivotal, foundational component of game design that affects nearly everything else. And as the article points out, the point here is not the difficulty per say (something that is way too overemphasized with these games -- they're not that hard), but the emotional result of it. A "difficulty setting" is just far too basic a paradigm of thinking about something that is actually very complex and not easy to change while still retaining the game as something recognizable as itself.

I'm even against having tutorials in these games. Not because of some "hardcore" or "gatekeeper" thing, but because figuring it out (and the resulting lightbulb moment) is magic and rare in games nowadays, which are pathologically opposed to doing anything that isn't holding the player's hand for dear life. It's annoying and feels condescending, like a piece of software that doesn't allow you to do what you want. The Souls games respect the intelligence and ingenuity of the player, and that's one reason why I truly love them, and why Elden Ring's tutorial kinda irked me a little bit. There's a lot in this game that makes me feel like From is inching more towards all the trappings of standard AAA design -- pop-ups, tutorials, waypoints, etc. The beauty of Souls games is the brutalist, dropping you into the deep end, and letting you figure it out, and I really hope that the genre's popularity doesn't get rid of what makes fans love them.
Honestly that seems like a totally reasonable ask, assuming there are a reasonable number of flex desks for people who are nominally remote.
very useful, thanks, will definitely need it in the immediate future - getting ready & prepped!
If that were the case I would never get soggy/wet/melted McFlurries, but I do sometimes.
It's not about being unique, or what you can/can't do. You certainly can mock a front end with a ssr app, but it gets messy when you are building a rich client app and need to start sharing state back and forth.
Does this compete with or complement their Snowpark feature?
With some basic tools, a very simple shelter can be constructed with 2-3 days. Sufficient enough to keep you alive and radiation free.

The real trick is not starving after.
Yep, snow happens when the temperature at the cloud layer is low enough. Ground temp can be higher and the snow will still make it to the ground. Might melt immediately, or if it's snowing enough it could form an insulating layer that keeps snow on the ground a bit longer.

Honestly, snow and air temperature have a bit of a counterintuitive relationship. It can also be too cold to snow, so a lot of really cold places are actually really dry and get very little precipitation because of that.
The "f/" in aperture settings literally stands for "focal length divided by ...". e.g, an f/2 aperture on a 50mm lens has a diameter of 25mm.

One aperture stop corresponds to a scaling factor of sqrt(2), because the area of the aperture scales with the square of the diameter, and halving the area results in half the light (and 1/1.414... of the aperture diameter)
Well, you'd have to be outside of most big cities. Even on a tech salary, living near an office in central London isn't affordable. Not unless you're flat sharing which is basically mutually exclusive with having a family.
Like Chechens, they might be useful for various operations that the kinship bonds between Russians and Ukrainians may have complicated.

OTOH, the Chechens reportedly ended up not working out as well as they were planned to, either.
They ALWAYS need to be building and developing the feature together or this happens. Decent API design without deep understanding of Client implementation or performance needs is nearly impossible.

They generally should all be in the same team, but that often doesn’t scale.

Not having them in the same team pretty much never works well though either.
Er, no. Javelin is guided. They are videos of them doing some really amazing long-range shots.

Interesting. Though, after the 20th century i m not sure which person/people would believe there is anything left to try. the USSR had a teleology, communism. Putin's russia dream is a vengeful restoration of nationalist glory. the russian society is poor though, dispersed in a huge country, not motivated, not a "fascio", not very united, it s hard to imagine them rallying behind putin to conquer the world like hitler did. He does command a very very large army, but disconnected from people.
