As for low-code and no-code, I understand your aversion. Those solutions aren't for somebody like you :)

>We as a society should not be withdrawing basic rights from people (including heating, [...] and just keeping a fridge running)

But the installation of a load limiter (rather than cutting off power entirely) seems specifically designed as to not cause "withdrawing basic rights"?

Same here, and another one that irritates me is "being left high and dry", which is a bad thing. But I envision high and dry as a good thing, isn't that where you would want to be in a storm or at sea?

Truth be told I never actually looked up where a lot of these idioms come from. I just heard other people using them and then I started to use them too.
Thanks. Many of our items we can trace directly back to the distributor.

The question about replacement parts is interesting, and maybe more difficult. We may not solve it directly.
They stand in marketing bullshit because they sound cool.
From what I've seen, it seems to work really well nowadays. AFAIK the Steam Deck even uses the Wayland KDE session for its desktop mode.
Because you don't need to manage subscriptions, there's a whole class of hooks you don't need to write in the first place. Then on top of that, you get extremely good performance. Having to rarely think about hooks and basically never think about performance, for me, free's up tons of cognitive space to focus on the actual implementation of the UI. Its not a perfect system, but I haven't found another I'd rather use.
I think start with a local setup, make sure changes are updating locally as expected. Then hit the docs, and have them ready to look things up, although browsing through them is also helpful at the beginning.

As far as reading and understanding the code, I start with entry point and make my way through doing a mental map. Once I understand how the app structure I setup and some of the conventions, I dive in to specific features and try to make changes.

Additionally, I like to diagram things as well, just for my own mental map model. Depending on the tech stack there could be libs out there that diagram the app with a way to navigate, and this is also really helpful.
Its not just because of poor documentation. I had used one of the RPA tools, Automation Anywhere, to basically open the browser, go to a url and enter a form and scrap some results (this was part of my office training where I was forced to learn this tool). The steps for this process involved invoking the command to open the browser, waiting for some period of time, enter the url in the browser, again wait for some period of time when the results have loaded and then scrap the results into an excel sheet.

The wait time had to be set appropriately. The tool had no way of detecting if the browser is fully opened and responsive. So if the wait time was too small, it would try to enter the url to a non responsive browser and fail. To make matters worse, each computer will take a different amount of time to load the browser fully. So I had to resort to set a large enough wait time and hope it works. In the end it just seemed ironic that an automation tool could end up making the job take longer than manually doing it. I dont know if the current version of Automation Anywhere still has this issue.
(25) However, such devices, for instance so-called "cookies", can be a legitimate and useful tool, for example, in analysing the effectiveness of website design and advertising, and in verifying the identity of users engaged in on-line transactions. Where such devices, for instance cookies, are intended for a legitimate purpose, such as to facilitate the provision of information society services, their use should be allowed on condition that users are provided with clear and precise information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC about the purposes of cookies or similar devices so as to ensure that users are made aware of information being placed on the terminal equipment they are using. Users should have the opportunity to refuse to have a cookie or similar device stored on their terminal equipment. This is particularly important where users other than the original user have access to the terminal equipment and thereby to any data containing privacy-sensitive information stored on such equipment. Information and the right to refuse may be offered once for the use of various devices to be installed on the user's terminal equipment during the same connection and also covering any further use that may be made of those devices during subsequent connections. The methods for giving information, offering a right to refuse or requesting consent should be made as user-friendly as possible. Access to specific website content may still be made conditional on the well-informed acceptance of a cookie or similar device, if it is used for a legitimate purpose.

The rest of the GDPR makes it extremely clear that the goal of the whole thing is not to mandate some specific solution but to force people who run services to allow tracking only with informed consent and to offer options that do not track.

If you are not storing data on your users machines or just do so for legitimate purposes, you should not have a need to ask for a users consent and thus don't have any need a cookie banner.

The issue here is, that many people running websites just don't know what they are storing and how. Just slapping a cookie banner on that bad boy and calling it a day won't work either, because you have to list the purposes of these cookies. If you don't know why your weird wordpress template loads a cookie, maybe it is time to change it (or alternatively: change your profession).
I think one of the biggest key questions is, how much do you need/want the platform to assist with authoring, engagement, and discovery?

YouTube is okay at this; TikTok is excellent at it. TikTok provides the fyp, community management, authoring and captioning tools, access to thousands of sound/music clips to use where they're handling the legal side, etc. Ostensibly this is very, very "creator-friendly", but only for a fairly specific niche of TikTok-like content, and only if you're not skirting the line of what they'll censor.

Vimeo has always felt to me more like a larger Vidyard— the content is 100% on you, but they'll handle the technical side as far as encoding and distributing, and give you a clean player widget you can embed on your own site.
It's a terrible name that has unfortunately stuck. Deliberate obfuscation.
Definitely. The first gulf war proved that an enormous army with dated soviet equipment could be overrun in a matter of weeks.

Surprising exactly no-one, regimes with dated soviet equipment and huge armies (north korea, iran, china) started looking around for ways to protect themselves.
It was more than simple synthesisable verilog, but not a lot - it was also a compiler rather than an interpreter - at the time VCS was just starting to be a thing, verilog as a language was not at all well defined (lots of assumptions about event ordering that no-one should have been making)

No it's not. The onus is on the people who created policies that lead to massive inequality and human misery to explain why we shouldn't string them up as an example to others.

General aviation (contrast to "commercial aviation"), which is the only place leaded gasoline is really used even within the industry, died in the 1970s. Not sure of the exact bill but the FAA drastically tightened approval processes to the extent that essentially only commercial aviation has enough volume to make it financially viable to get through the regulatory approval process.

There's a few exceptions, like Cirrus and maybe Diamond, but almost all general aviation aircraft either predate those regulations entirely, or are in hardware configurations that predate those regulations and have been grandfathered. Sometimes - rarely - you get a new engine or whatever, but it's very rare that anyone goes for approval of a whole new airframe or anymore. It's the same reason Boeing prefers to add a dumb computer-assist system on the 737 MAX instead of just changing their airframe - change the airframe and you have to do a complete re-approval process.

In short, they are still using leaded gasoline because they're still using 1950s and 1960s engine designs (and in many cases, actual 60s/70s-production engines and airframes) because the FAA approval process makes it impossible/prohibitively uneconomical to replace them.

Not saying removing lead isn't important, but bear in mind this is essentially gutting public access to aerospace and aviation. We've already seen the loss of R/C aircraft as a hobby, the "feeders" into aerospace are getting pretty slim indeed.

You are basing your arguments on a very faulty assumption, namely, that the average HN commenter understands that there is a difference between parody of the culture of half of the US, and the actual culture of half of the US.
No one's arguing for making unlimited electricity free for everyone; this is a straw man.

What people are saying is that it seems reasonable to ensure residents of a cold place like Calgary have access to heating, lighting, cooked food, and laundry.

It seems reasonable for the limit to be put there, but not lower? I think the article makes it pretty clear it's too low, or there's no credit system, or whatever.
You're looking at averages, which are strongly affected by the fact that more people are going to college. The percentage of perfect scores shows that even despite more people going to college, people at the top (though it's true at every level) are smarter.

The rational short term future is renewable+nuclear. 100% renewable with intermittent sources with current tech is nearly impossible, and we need to act now. But don't take my word for it, that's what the IPCC says too. We need a low carbon non intermittent on demand energy. France proves everyday that works, now.

Don't fall for emotional reasonings, lobby or geopolitical narratives relayed by useful idiots NGO[0][1], in the coming years it is not renewables vs nuclear, it is renewables with nuclear, both against carbon emitting energies.

Blind or deaf people would probably feel pretty bad hearing "you don't want a blind or deaf kid".
1800W seems more than enough to run household appliances like an electric stove. It won't be comfortable, but it's not the "starving to death" situation the article claims.

I can see the value in these limiters, because without them people will quickly sink into debt not paying their power bills.

Of course, the underlying problem (poverty, sky-high energy prices) needs to be dealt with, but that can only be done with aid of the government and a social safety net. Lacking that, limiters can at least keep costs down.

That said, the $104 bill you get for having this stuff installed is bullshit. Limiters can be a tool for preventing poverty, but sending a large bill to the poor is a clear sign that these things aren't installed to help anyone.
To honest, I don't have the time to become a CSS expert so I do what works and I don't worry much about it.

I use "!important" quite a bit because I let users made some choices in the color schemes of the app and using "!important" makes that easy for me to do.
Well, PeerTube is not too hard to install and is quite pleasant to use…

Engineering children would likely introduce horrible diseases because as you say, nobody understands the consequences. What's being proposed is selection, the selection of embryos which have already proven themselves to be viable and passed several steps of Nature's disease filtration.
The times I use important is generally to override a framework that is taking precedent, even though the sheet I'm editting is loaded after the framework css. That is 90% of my useage of !important. It may not have been intended for this, but a lot of things in CSS and HTML were never intended for certain use cases that they are now used for. That doesn't mean it is now misused, it just means things have evolved.
Many recreational drug users are able to do that. Ask almost anybody who’s actually tried most things and even made habits of them, what they think of alcohol. Alcohol is probably tied with benzos in terms of addictiveness and harm to the user (not as easy to accidentally take too much since our bodies are better at “rejecting” it, but more widely available, and more euphoric and thus more addictive), after heroin and meth. It’s purely cultural that we give alcohol a pass while making many less harmful drugs illegal
Immediately within the first full paragraph, the diction of this post clearly belies the author's bias. Promoting vaccination is "putting American children in a bubble out of fear", but promoting vaccine rejection is just "being skeptical about vaccines". My dear Richard, skepticism is different from contrarianism, and when the evidence shows vaccines to be safe and effective at preventing people dying a painful, suffering death, being against them is contrarianism, not skepticism.

Then there's the ending of that paragraph: "It’s not 'anti-science,' as we can see by thinking about which side accepts the reality of sex differences." Once again, Richard, the actual science is not on your side here. The science shows sex and gender -- which are two different things, by the way -- are both spectra and not a neat little two-bucket distinction.

Basically, Richard, as many others like him often do, is convinced that his beliefs are correct despite the evidence against them, and anyone who disagrees is a "sheep". All the while, instead of being content to post his views to his family on Facebook, he grows himself a larger pasture of grass to eat by writing an entire article about it.

I stopped actively reading after that first paragraph, though I skimmed below it enough to see he thinks that "if enough people believe a thing, they cannot be free thinkers". Which is absolutely ridiculous: there is one objective reality, and therefore free thinking should lead people to the same conclusion. In fact, the more free thinkers there are, the more people would agree with each other, because they'd all converge on the truth. "Free thinking" is not "believing whatever I personally like because Freedom™"; it's "following the evidence and coming to my own conclusions based on it, regardless of people telling me to ignore the evidence".

If reality is subjective, then you may as well kill everyone around you as they might not even exist anyway! If it is objective, then there must be an objective way to find the truth; that way is the scientific method, because it has been the most capable of predicting future results than any other method humanity has invented so far. Certainly far more capable than Believing What I Like ever has.

Richard clearly as no grasp on the objectivity of reality.

Some notable comments:

> I was going to mention it, but you guys know very well the drill, so
unless this hardware changes fundamental parts of the middle end in
ways that are unnatural to most other targets (doesn't seem that way),
then I see no reason why not have it upstream.

> I see no problem with having the backend upstream with the understanding
that all the normal policies apply. Getting more people working on ToT
is valuable to the community as a whole and provided it's "just another
backend" with plenty of tests, the cost is low.

> But to me, a policy of content neutrality is tacitly supporting extremist content.

When I read this, I agreed, but as I continued I realized that we come to opposite conclusions. A platform that espouses neutrality and fairness _should_ support extremist content, but it should be the reader's job to determine if the content is despicable.
xcore (mentioned in that thread) is pretty obscure and still in trunk last I looked. Extra backends don't carry that much of a maintenance cost, mostly patching them up on api changes. Weirder targets hit bugs that the common ones don't so there's a benefit from having them in tree too.

I'm not sure that generalises beyond modular compilers though.
You are right. Whoever controls the pool controls what goes into the mined blocks, so there's a chance they could cooperate to forbid certain types of transactions. Mining empty blocks in Ethereum is something that happens from time to time too, but usually, mining pools want to include as many transactions as possible in their blocks, as this increases profits. So yeah, it can happen in theory.

However, the move to PoS will probably change this, as a valid block containing a "banned" transaction can't be easily disputed even by a majority, as long as the block is correct. The only way to try to fight it is to burn lots of ETH, meaning any pool that engages in such behavior becomes weaker.

Even without Svelte, most of the problems people have with CSS go away if you do the following:

- Avoid cascading (i.e. no nested selectors except when there's "no other way")

- Implement separate selectors for styling and page/component layout (separation of concerns)

- Using a good naming convention and stick with it

The first point can also be achieved with using style attributes if that floats your boat, although Svelte kind of gives you the best of both worlds just by compartmentalizing the CSS, not necessarily by preventing cascading.

I can't remember the last time I ever had to use !important except when I had to work with some ridiculous CSS "framework" my predecessors chose to use. At least !important was understandable back in the days when it was really hard to achieve some things with CSS, but these days I believe there's little to no excuse.

Units next to values are expensive. If you had a vector of 10 million lengths and some are in centimeters and others inches and others furlongs the conversions you would have to do to add or multiply these values would cost more than the arithmetic you want to do, certainly you couldn't use SIMD instructions or the GPU to do accelerated math.
> Long covid is a particularly pointless thing to be aware of, because it's not like any sane person chooses to get covid, so the risk calculation is already two steps divorced from the actions we can actually take to avoid it.

I disagree. While I certainly would prefer to not get COVID, I'm vaccinated and boosted, so if I do get it, my (primary) symptoms will likely be mild or nonexistent. So from the perspective of primary symptoms, I am at the point where I want to just live my life, not have restrictions, and if I get it... ok, well, I get it, no big deal. Essentially I will treat it like a cold or the flu: I would prefer not to get it, but I'm not going to change my day-to-day life in order to avoid it.

But the possibility of long COVID changes that. If long COVID is both prevalent and severe, I would choose to avoid crowds, stay home more often, continue masking and social distancing even when/where my local health guidelines don't require it, etc.
