Ask HN: Anyone using vaadin at work for internal websites?
What's your impression? Do you get everything you want out of it? Do you lack any components (versus the huge component open source community in react).
I'm looking for your experience with it similar to this https://phauer.com/2015/evaluating-vaadin-strengths-weaknesses/
Whether you had edge cases where you had non existing component in vaadin while exist in other frameworks etc.
Nutrition and fitness are hardly a one-size-fits-all problem.

To take an example, my self, I am doing intermittent fasting and do moderate intensity exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes(gym, cycling, bouldering, etc). No matter what I do, I still have a muffin belly.
I hate emoji reactions. I understand that not everybody will view them the same way, but to me they're phony - if I've helped you, say thanks - don't send a thumbs up emoji.

And recognize that in large group settings, maybe a response isn't necessary - I'm sure a lot of people get annoyed by the flood of "thanks!" "good bye" and such messages that get sent at the end of large meetings.

That's like saying : our nuclear power plant didn't have such a horrible accident, it has only released half of Chernobyl.

It's the same sort of reasoning that is leading people to say that they shouldn't have to pay tax / reduce CO2 because "someone else is richer / more polluting".

> understanding the conflict I’m identifying.

From where I stand, there isn't a conflict between making money and making the world better. Money is a proxy for what people think makes their world better. And, since what people think is entirely subjective, there may be conflicting ideas about what makes the world better. If I want the city to spend $100k on shareable bicycles and you want it to spend $100k to build a recycling center, who is right? Money does not introduce conflict. Different ideas might.
That's a very categorical statement for a comparison of two quantities, both of which vary (cooktop power and solar power). And ultimately if you're using a lower-power cooktop it .. won't cook properly.

there are package managers for C and C++, but people aren't told about them.

this implies Python's advantages is not having a package manager, but better teachers or at least teaching better practices, so it isn't even language related.
> much less make any money from advertising at all

I firmly believe nobody should care, because by using advertisements you make everything worse. For everyone. It is a giant industry entirely focused on fabricating the desire to give them money in my mind.
I think it is the ability to spoof caller id, mixer with the fact the US is a rich country, mixed with the fact a large part of the world speaks the language.
Indeed. It's not an "echo chamber" if it's just the set of people who don't think you shouldn't exist.

One thought to give me the heebee-jeebees is imagining to fall into Jupiter. Temperature and pressure aside, the vastness and alienness of falling into an abyss of ammonia clouds for an eternity and plunging into an ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen is terrifying. I could not finish a 3-hour video game[1] set on that very environment. Too scary for me.

I alt-F4'd Space Engine in panic when I told it to zoom to a black hole and I saw this circle of emptyness rapidly opening in my screen and distorting the infinity of stars in the background. I swear I found a dozen other people on forums mentioning their phobia of black holes caused by Space Engine.

Space is scary. Everything outside Earth's atmosphere is by definition alien and unnatural. Yet so fascinating.

Depends on who you are blocking. If it's anyone who slightly disagrees with you and anyone who likes them, then you'll probably quickly end up blocking literally everyone. But if it's people who are off-topic replying that Bill Gates is inserting microchips in vaccines, flat earther, or other Qanon style posts and those who upvote them, I don't really personally mind the loss.
Have you tried using rclone with their S3 backend? https://forum.rclone.org/t/setting-rclone-for-idrive/20822
I was thinking you could have a battery in a train, that is charged by pantographs at the station. Accelerating out of the station will use a lot of energy so for a mile or so there could be pantographs and then they won't be needed for a few miles whilst the train runs off the battery. The battery can be charged when slowing down for the station using regenerative braking and charged whilst idling at the station.

This might be more complex and expensive though than just having the pantographs the full length of the line, but I thought about it recently when my local line was closed as a tunnel on it was too small to fit the pantographs through and had to be rebuilt.

Why would you be even a little bit concerned over software door locks?

Most traditional locks can be picked open in seconds. There's no meaningful way to do any worse than that. The only fit-for-purpose way to use locks is in keeping honest people honest. They are utter rubbish at keeping bad guys out of your house.
If you are looking at a circle that is a cone of light. Couldn't this be is big radio burst on the other side of something with a lot of mass? A normal spherical expansion of an explosion when going past a massive object would obscure the centre and bend some light to form a circle.
Don't see what that isn't one of the suggested theories.
Galaxy in the middle might not be the source, just the mass that's doing the bending of the radio waves.
Yeah, 2kW seems low for a multi-burner stove. That gets you an electric kettle or a large toaster. Maybe a single element might draw that.

An oral history of 3dfx (2014)
You are looking at this wrong by basically translating a vehicle concept that is designed for the fuel economies of bunker fuel to electric. Bunker fuel is expensive so you want to ship a lot of containers to maximize the fuel economies. That's how containers evolved. They minimize loading/unloading overhead and you can ship thousands of them on huge ships. Each ship burns tonnes of fuel just to get out of the harbor but that's OK because you can spread the cost over a load that has a value measured in hundreds of millions or more. The whole point is that you can ship that huge value for a few percent of that value in cost. It makes sense to do that because fuel is expensive.

For the same reason, a lot of those ships are already electric actually. Sure, they burn fuel but only to drive a generator that drives the engine. Electric engines that size are just better. You get a better range of torque across different speeds and maximize the fuel economy for the generator. The maintenance is simpler. They last longer. Etc. So electrifying is a lot easier than you think. Basically containerize batteries, park a few on the ship, bypass the generator and you have a nice hybrid container ship. Now you can sacrifice useful load for a vastly cheaper fuel (electricity). It becomes a cost equation.

Battery electric changes that game. Most of the transport cost is fuel. Fuel is expensive. Electricity is not. It's all about the cost of fuel. When you burn millions of $ of fuel, fuel economies are very interesting to shipping companies. The main reason for large container ships is the fuel cost. Decimate that cost and that reason goes away. You could do the same volume with a lot of smaller ships instead.

As for liquid metal, batteries are probably a lot easier to clean up than oil and fuel spills. There's no question about how devastating oil spills are. Plenty of recent incidents with oil ships and container ships sinking regularly to prove that. Even just burning fuel produces a lot of pollution. Bunker fuel is the nastiest fuel imaginable and most ships actually have to switch to alternate fuels when they get close to population centers because poisoning the locals is a bit problematic.
Oh, it is UNIX philosophy alright, given that C was created to make UNIX portable, and the security best practices were disregarded, offloaded into lint, that most people keep ignoring.

> Although the first edition of K&R described most of the rules that brought C's type structure to its present form, many programs written in the older, more relaxed style persisted, and so did compilers that tolerated it. To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to detect legal but suspicious constructions, and to help find interface mismatches undetectable with simple mechanisms for separate compilation, Steve Johnson adapted his pcc compiler to produce lint [Johnson 79b], which scanned a set of files and remarked on dubious constructions.

> Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished
us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions
would have long been against the law.

GitHub issues are great from a developer perspective, much easier to work with than Jira and most other solutions.

But from a project management perspective it does lack in some perspectives. This mostly depends on what you need and how you use it. Unlike Jira, Github issues does not come with plugin support and can't be customised as much. This makes it easier to work with for developers but might not give you all the power you might want while planning the project. For example, to my knowledge, theres no way of assigning "Story points" and having "burn down charts" in Github issues; as its not a tool ment for doing Scrum. But if you're not doing Scrum then it doesn't matter. It also doesn't have a concept of sprints and epics. But I does have both tags and releases which you can use for planning.

And the new Github Issues beta looks to add a lot of features: https://github.com/features/issues
The page says "Call to order", which is quite a bit different from a publicly available product.
> stochastic retweet button.

One of twitter's terrible design decisions.

Because the "like" button causes a tweet to appear in the feeds of your followers who don't religiously use "home timeline" despite twitter's efforts to switch them to "top tweets", it is an endorsement and an amplification. It doesn't matter what your intent is, the effect is to put it in front of other people who don't want to see it.

You might be caring too much about this. I enjoy positive validation as much as anyone else, but I value quality discussion more highly. Especially when it comes to questions of ethics and health, I will say something when I feel it is important and truly not care what the reaction is.

To answer your question, No - I do not outright lie. I will try to simplify anecdotes to make a point more strongly or concisely. But I strive to stick to what I know and to the spirit of truth, even if I do selectively edit stories to spin them to be more relevant to discussions. I know some people would put that in the category of lying, but I think of it more as an aspect of story telling.

Having done such work, this is absolutely untrue. I got a renewed appreciation for the hard work kitchen staff put in and the stringent requirements on cleanliness that kitchen staff has. I suppose this will change based on the country you are in, if you are in a country with bad sanitary checking you will have a bad time.

I believe the author expressed specifically that they did still enjoy the game, but specifically didn't enjoy the fact that their purchase was effectively devalued, and instead you're now nickel and dimed. I don't think you have to believe that you'll enjoy a game forever to be displeased with that, especially if they still enjoy the game part of the game. In fact I'd argue that you can probably experience that right from the start. I used to like Gran Turismo. Idk anything about the new one, but if I tried it, and found out after if after spending $80 on the game, I still had to pay for each individual colour of car or something inane, I sure as hell wouldn't buy it.

Fine print or not, most people (myself included) rarely if ever read the "fine print".

If you did read the fine print, and you were of a problem-solving (pessimist) mentality, then you would never buy anything or do anything. You certainly would never take any medicine, because nothing is scarier than the fine print there.

Still not clear. GPS can work without a SIM. Is the device logging locally when the SIM is not activated or not?

> Some would say that makes it a good app.

It’s hard to argue with “It makes money!”.

As long as people are willing to pay for junk, then there will always be a firehose of junk.

It’s still junk, though; even if it wins.

Almost every project I write is filled with compromise; especially as it nears release, and I always have a powerful urge to rewrite it from scratch, but I don’t feel shame. It’s not junk. It represents a sincere effort to do great work.

That’s one reason that I’m so glad to be out of the rat race, and doing my own thing. I feel dirty, if I am knowingly writing junk. My work is a craft, and a labor of love. I get great personal satisfaction from it. Making money, and “beating the competition,” aren’t even minor factors.

You can’t shovel shit, without getting it on you.
Whatever your opinion on metformin this study is not really providing strong enough evidence to take seriously. No one should give it any attention, except the researchers who will try and do a better one next time and hopefully can prove/disprove this important hypothesis.

The authors have done a lot of tests here. If you do enough tests, even on null data, you eventually get false positive results. Nevermind the effects of confounding which are difficult to control for effectively in a non-random study.

The smallest p-value I could find was P = 0.012. Which is for "elevated birth defect fre-
quencies among metformin-exposed offspring". This comes from a table with 6 rows of models with different OR values. Presumably they did have p-values testing if those ORs were statistically different from OR == 1. Which means one should adjust p-values by dividing the significance threshold by 6. So, 0.05/6 = 0.0083 which is smaller than 0.012. So I would be very hesitant to say that the evidence points to metformin really causing this. At least based on this study.

If they only say "Hey" with no follow-up, I'll just assume it was nothing and they got distracted. In smaller environments it could work to link them to e.g. https://nohello.net/en/ and / or educate them though.

But turning off notifications works; it keeps your focus, and making them wait for a reply trains and reminds them that it's asynchronous communication. A lot of people have grown accustomed to fast replies though.
It's noticeable that although Jira auto-links to GH branches and PRs, they don't do the same for issues -- I guess they would rather you use their application for that. That they put their own interests before those of their users is revealing.
