Happened to see this thread on HN, (and disclaimer I'm an engineer at Hex) very cool project jwithington!

Wanted to take a second to address your comment about performance, lqet. All your points are absolutely fair - I personally apologize for some of those layers of divs and some of that JS as they're definitely my fault!

For context, Hex lets you write Python and SQL code in a notebook-esque format and then create apps from that to share across the web. So there's actually quite a breadth of functionality we need to support under the hood that adds to frontend complexity. We also revamped our whole app-building experience recently, so there's a couple straggling bugs (like the text selection one you mentioned, whoops!).

But I totally agree with you - thinking about all that JS makes me wince a little haha as we definitely care and want to improve frontend performance. We plan to make better use of code-splitting and lazy-loading of JS so that the frontend code for more complex apps is only pulled in if/when necessary. (We also want to work on building better tooling to make analysis of code-splitting effectiveness easier - we've found that a lot of existing webpack bundle analyzer tools don't provide enough visibility for our use cases. Maybe an open source project for us one day!) And we want to decrease over-the-wire data size and reduce necessary network calls so you can get a faster initial load. We're a small team, so can't make promises when exactly this will all happen, but hopefully with these changes and other improvements things will feel a bit snappier someday soon
The problem with this argument is that the set of programs that just fork() and then exec() is fairly small. Sure, shells are small and do this, but then the article argues that shells are a good use of fork().

In larger programs, you're forking because you need to diverge the work that's going to be done and probably where it's going to be done (maybe you want to create a new pid ns, you need a separate mm because you're going to allocate a bunch, whatever). Maybe the argument is that programs should never do this? I don't buy that. Then there's a lot of string-slinging through exec().
once it becomes a $1000 product, the number you can sell dramatically decreases. Hence, these existing products that do this are $10,000 and up.

The price has little to do with the R&D and manufacturing cost, it really has to do with how small the market is. Once you have a customer that is willing to pay $1,000 for this novelty, they will likely also pay $10k for the novelty.

Also....I seriously doubt artificially extending daylight hours is good for anyones health.
You are mixing topics here and please restrain yourself with the "royal we" here. Some of us don't simply don't share your beliefs.

The mistake the Germans made, which they are now correcting, is over reliance on Russian gas to bridge the brief gap to energy neutrality. Though, in fairness, until Putin's melt-down last week, he could have saved that deal and kept on milking the Germans for billions for quite some time. Such melt-downs have not been seen in international politics since Trump reluctantly disappeared from it last year. You might say that Putin (whom Trump referred to as a 'genius' just last week) has trumped Trump in that respect.

Basically, the fix for Germany is importing expensive natural gas from the US and elsewhere as a stop gap solution while accelerating the move away from burning that to clean up the energy sector and lower cost.

That's what they just announced. 80% renewables eight years from now and 100% five years later. They are over 50% right now. Also, a recession is a great time to inject some capital into your economy. And of course the Germans have a healthy economy and low debt; unlike certain other countries. And of course they export a lot of their renewable tech to others; like the US.

Also, France and Germany have connected grids. So, with Germany producing lots of wind powrr and France providing nuclear base-load, both will be fine. No need for Germany to build nuclear plants. And no need for France to build a lot more plants either when they can import cheap German renewables to complement their expensive nuclear supply. The math to get rid of coal and natural gas in fifteen years actually adds up.

>Every time since, western powers have been forced out, but have left behind devastation in their wake.

the history books I read said that the indomitable Russia people destroyed their lands ahead of the invaders so that they would not have enough food, supplies etc. to last out the Russian winter.
I replaced all my lights with LED's. The intention being that while my old lights continue to work, replacing them now will be better for the environment than waiting for them to die.

Without an ability to do a full analysis of all the variables, I made my best guess. I hope it would be the same for a car.
There are 3 star meals that are just excellent renditions of food, and some that are experimental theaters as much as they are food.

To take two examples from my own eating experience on either end of the spectrum:

- Alinea, in Chicago → the experience is full of surprises, artful experiences, etc. The desert is lowered from the ceiling and involves what is essentially violently making a Jackson Pollock on the table

- Forum, in Hong Kong → on the other hand, there is nothing special or creative about Forum, which executes Cantonese cuisine traditionally and perfects its execution of traditional dining in the 50 years since it's been open

Most of the time, the restaurants are somewhere in the middle, but closer to the Forum end than the Alinea end.

Probably the most innovative and interesting one I've tried is Gaggan, which has since closed but had 2 stars and a ranking as Asia's #1 restaurant, doing a 25-course experimental take on Indian cuisine in Bangkok.
>tired of the general population being treated as pawns in this global game of empire

Well that's kind of what this conflict is about. Ukraine is anti the pawns and empire thing, Putin is for it.

Thankfully it's mostly dying out - I'm a Brit and we got rid of most of our empire around 1950. Putin's a bit behind the curve.
It's downvoted by EV fanboys because EVs must be pushed into the mainstream at all costs. I'm not kidding.

To EV fanboys: issues should be discussed, not hidden away because they're not nice or not solved yet.

I think EVs are a great idea, they're great for the environment and personally, I was hoping they'd also be great for air quality. But it seems the air quality part will not happen for quite a long time, until batteries become much lighter, unfortunately.
Aurora Solar Secures $200M in Series D at $4B Valuation
I can sleep around 8 hours during these long flights. Some tips (if you want them):

- I prefer a place next to a window. I can put my head on the wall.

- I try not to drink too much. Definitely no coffee or alcohol. Not having to pee will make me sleep longer. Going to a toilet in a plane is difficult.

- Before I go to sleep I read for 1 to 2 hours. I try to avoid something that is exiting to do (playing video games, doing intense difficult programming, ...)

- I take somewhere between 0.5 and 3 mg of melatonine one hour before I want to go to sleep. This helps me getting tired in areas where you have a lot of light.

- I wear earplugs during sleeping.

- I cover myself with as many blankets as possible. It can be cold in airplanes, and getting too cold will wake me up.

Good luck!
Can a model be trained in 4 days fast enough to score a perfect on this, under cost? It becomes a weirdly positive feedback loop if the pool keeps going up and up.

I don't know how keyboards and switches became an obsession for me. I was a happy with my CODE keyboard + Cherry MX Whites until about 2 years when I decided to try Ergodox Ez. I feel forced to use it because I've spent $$$ extra money on switches and keycaps on top of the already expensive keyboard. I didn't want to bother with Moonlander because of the negative experience of EZ version.

I'm still waiting for Keyboardio Model 100 to arrive. After I had backed the kickstarter, Kinesis announced the Advantage360... I was really pissed because that's the one I "feel" I really want. I decided to skip 360 until end of the year where the custom switch option becomes available. I really hope Model 100 does it so I can finally stop spending money!!! (I doubt it)

Ps. This keyboard is now on the list too, but not sure about the thumb cluster.
Interesting. So, in practice, people who care about the environment should probably get the base packages, which most likely have firmer tires?
I adjust my desk and chair so the level is just right for good posture. The 1.5" of keyboard height is necessary for the curved key wells, which make this keyboard more comfortable than any other I've tried.
Why I Quit a $450k Engineering Job at Netflix
Non-insignificant part of my job is deleting css (and js)
I've been to quite a few fine dining establishments that had very generous portions. The best advice I can give is always ask the waiter in order to gauge how much you should be ordering. As long as the restaurant isn't run by total assholes, you'll get an honest answer. Waiters want to make you happy as their generous tips are largely powered by your enjoyment. Having a miss-portioned meal and paying a fortune doesn't encourage a reasonable tip.
Dunno, I felt like it.

Can't we be lackadaisical anymore? :-p

> I've also read that await() basically preempts the currently running function. How does this work?

Well, I would say that it's the opposite of preemption. It's cooperative multitasking. Your async task is split into two tasks, with the await in the middle. When you call await, the first task finishes. The second task starts running once the await is done.

> Why can't non-async functions use await()?

In C#, they can. You can call `.RunSynchronously()` on a `Task`. C# supports lots of different TaskSchedulers that handle this differently.

C# is almost pathologically flexible here. Other languages typically assume that there is only one async task scheduler, and it's handled by the runtime. This task scheduler may be less flexible, and there are various design tradeoffs.
I think this is technically incorrect.

It's perfectly valid to await on a literal:

> async function test() {

let a = "yep";
await a;
console.log(a);

}

> test()

> yep

A few days ago I had to take a flight and forget to check-in.

Luckily, I was able to check-in at the airport but I wondered why check-ins are required at all in 2022. The answer is unexpected.

TLDR
It's how most airlines get paid for the flight.
> In Braid's case, it was one developer and he contracted out the artwork, just as much artwork as in those two-person teams. So is it really a single person creation?

Exactly, by the same logic Donkey Kong was made by a single person. The art and design was by Shigeru Miyamoto and the development was outsourced to a team of six.

Japan is supporting the sanctions and pledged to give $100M in aid to Ukraine.
Why wouldn't applying reason (especially since you're familiar with your personal situation) result in better decisions than just listening to people who are paid to tell you what to think? What argument are you even making here?
I think the Advantage2 is still more ergonomic for most users since the keys are shaped in two curved wells which help keep all rows comfortably in reach without forearm or wrist movement. I have long fingers but someone with shorter fingers should still benefit in relative terms. My understanding is that the two curved circuit boards are expensive to produce, which may justify some of the $370 (wtf) cost. I bought mine used from Amazon Warehouse (used, good return policy) for $220 when I started experiencing RSI and have never looked back.
Here's one I designed as my first electronics project: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

Seems to meet your criteria, but obviously requires some assembly.
Absolutely. There's nothing fundamentally complicated in Git. The most complex things are the merging and diffing algorithms (but I presume the week-old git just used GNU diff and patch).
Dwarf Fortress by Tarn Adams

Also worth noting, Chris Sawyer wrote the original Roller Coaster Tycoon code directly in Assembly. It's probably one of the reasons the simulation game worked so well on earlier systems.
Sorry, still not following. I wrote not E2E encrypted. I'm struggling to understand why messages that are not E2E encrypted would require key management.
I went to a Michelin-starred vegan restaurant in Berlin (on the wall was a mural spelling the F-word and you had to walk through a warehouse to "find" the place) and it was really good. The wine was also very good. I wasn't "crying" but it sure was the best meal I ever had from a mere taste standpoint.

Whether it's worth it depends entirely on how much money you have. If you are FAANG Engineer rich, you could probably eat there every day if you'd wanted to. In that case, yeah it's worth it.
If you earn the median salary in the EU, then nah.
> But don't punish people / corps for failure to "guess".

You don't punish people for failure to guess (you may warn them if necessary). You punish people for flagrantly violating the law. Do you really think the creators of the railroad in this article didn't know that this wasn't what the law intended? It's infeasible to update laws in response to every violation - the process takes too long - so we need a lighter weight process that can keep up. You keep that process in check by updating laws where it oversteps the mark.
I think their coverage is still spotty. I'm in California, and searched some names I know. The results came from some counties, but nothing from others. Notably I never saw anything from Los Angeles County, but tons of results from San Bernardino County.

My own name brought up a couple tickets. In 2014 I got a cell phone ticket. There's something kind of funny seeing an all-caps official document explaining that THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA were all arrayed against me! :)
You're supposed to tell them it's broken before you tell everyone else it's broken
Incidentally what is the performance benefit of the whole promise/callback hell compared to GOTO? I find it needlessly confusing and inhuman.
Because the sync function does not know what to do in case the async function doesn't return immediately and awaits something else. It can't block because that would block the whole thread, possibly including UI. Spawning a new thread and blocking there would break the whole point of async and would be expensive.

Building a Brand as a Scientist
A = 4 pi r^2

So a sphere of 2m radius has a surface of about 50 m^2.

A 1000 lumen bulb illuminates the sphere with app 1000 lm / 50 m^2 = 20 lux (not 50 lux as OP wrote).

So the calculation is a bit off. OTOH if we had bulbs that shine downwards only it would be sufficient to just divide by the floor. So 100,000 lm in a 10m^2 room gets you 10,000 lux.

These windows on arm devices are UEFI/ACPI, not uboot/DT. They should work, if someone puts the effort into porting all the drivers, and working around all the quirks they are sure to have. Why QC doesn't do this, and get them SystemReady certified is a mystery.

Cost, as you mentioned, is one reason. However they also fare better at extended temperature ranges and under long periods of self discharge. They are, generally speaking, more forgiving of a battery chemistry.

Your quote about rollout of the Prius is exactly my point. That opinion was widespread when the Prius was introduced. The reliability of the Prius since then has changed public opinion greatly.
Is this a trick question, and "HTML isn't technically code" the correct answer?

Because it's not. It's a step up from typesetting.

There is a small if very vocal minority of webdevs acting like their work is the most meaningful and complex work imaginable when the "source code" they work with is what you would get if a 2nd year CS student was asked to re-implement LaTeX in XML.

Gatekeeping is so much more prevalent in webdev because it's really not that complicated until you abstract your framework a couple levels up and then insist it's the industry standard.
Line cooking in a restaurant is very different than cooking at home. Mis-en-place is usually not efficient for the home cook. The example cited by Jeff W is contrived. I've cooked at least hundreds if not thousands of onions at home and in restaurants and in almost every case I was chopping carrots or celery or peppers while those onions were cooking and never once did I have a failure due to timing.
The software didn't do it, indeed. The custodians of the data who allowed private data to be made public did it.

AFAIK, a parking ticket would be written against a car/license plate. Obviously that can be attached to a registration if the ticket is unpaid but it's not clear to me that a record of the violation would necessarily have the name attached in the record.
how did that work out?

the best meal i ever had in my life was at Bar Crudo on Divis in SF. owners pivoted to a taco place, for reasons unfathomable to me. had a dinner that blew my conception of food open, went to a show nearby after.

got home at 3AM and made myself a bit of sausage and toast and to my surprise the experience of my prior meal persisted, and in contrast my late night snack seemed like it was made of cardboard.
Given the provenance (MSCHF), I guess we can safely assume that the..."unfortunate"...MschfBoard logo was fully intentional.
It makes sense to me that eating meat can improve the health of people just eating grains and tubers in the article. And from there, you can further improve your health by being even more precise about what you eat by following, for example, the whole food plant-based diet in that book.

That eating meat is more nutritious than eating only carb crops isn't very applicable to anyone on HN, I don't think. We're kinda beyond that and should be looking for the next rung up on the ladder, like eating enough fiber—something few Americans do.

We're too easily swept up in faction wars about food to have meaningful discussion and it muddies the water when you try to find good information. We'll argue about the health implications of meat and vegetables and whatever while having a coke and bag of chips next to the keyboard while pretending we're all min/maxing our health.

Meanwhile, we ignore the fact that most people don't try to get anywhere near any of the so-called optimal diets we're so willing to argue about, and the distance from the average person's diet to those diets are probably a lot farther than the health impact between those diets.
So what’s the limiting principle you would use? That’s the problem. I no more care about Apple’s speeding violations than I do Joe Schmo’s, but I probably do care about whether Joe here has a criminal history if I’m interviewing him, and the nature of that history.

You could go by legal entity, just make lawsuits involving corporations public, and lawsuits between individuals private: but while Apple might have global influence, your rich and litigious neighbor in a rural county is probably a more immediate concern to you. Also individuals can sue corporations and corporations can sue individuals.

I’m still inclined to think court records should stay public, but I’m now more interested in seeing if there’s a kind of filter we can put on what we make public than I was two weeks ago.
Regarding 1), you just need to think about conservation laws as being many worlds "blind".

Let's assume that we devise an experiment that we 100% prove would split the universe in 3 versions. Executing that experiments splits world 1 into world 1a, 1b, and 1c. Conservations laws will state that the total energy in world 1a == total energy in world 1b == total energy in world 1c == total energy in world 1.

Assume that you have a measurement device that is not "many world" aware, you can only measure the total energy in world 1 - before the experiment takes place - and - depending on which many world "version" you measure afterwards - the total energy in world 1a OR world 1b OR world 1c. According to the measurement device, conservation laws will be respected. Even tho the world was split.

Currently, all our measurement devices are not many world aware, and are only able to measure physical properties in one world version. This makes it extremely hard - impossible in fact - to fully prove that other universe exist in parallel. If we were able to build a measurement device that is able to have some kind of "total value across world 1a, 1b and 1c", that would be a game changer, and conservations laws would probably not apply for that device. So far we haven't been able to build one, so conservations laws are considered universal.
I have the model 1 and I really like it, the palm strike to trigger the other layers is really easy to use.
