Nuclear war will not be enough to cause human extinction. The targets are likely to be focused on nuclear powers which leaves many areas of the world untouched: e.g. South America and Africa. Life will definitely be quite unpleasant for the remaining humans but it will not cause the world population to drop to 0.

I am much more concerned about biological weapons which do have the potential to cause absolute human extinction.

Cool project, congrats you finished it up to this point :)

As some people pointed out, web developer demands are pretty specific and vary from person to person. To fulfill most of them would mean immense efforts.

In contrast to that, I think your idea could thrive as a `boiler plate` component generator. Add an export button that just hands you the component code and you got me hooked for some quick components.
IIRC, MCU Tony Stark was based on Musk.
Bring an a*hole got T his first term, being an idiot lost him his second. And, I'd argue, all the terms until his death after the second one.

Putin is another example. Being a ruthless, smart sociopath got him all his power, being an idiot once lost him almost everything.

I got a pretty solid foundation in embedded from ~1 year worth of uni EE courses. Learn a bit of Arduino, learn a bit of VHDL, fiddle with some registers and you're 90% of the way there. The last 10% comes from finding a job and just spending a lot of time learning all the other little pieces you need.
Opinion on Lasik vs smile and others?
Depending on your wiring, the performance can be terrible.

I have one of these, advertised as 2000Mb/s but actually doing about 80, and in a small apartment. Every 6 months or so it connects to my neighbour's system without me doing anything.
I think you're being uncharitable.

The reason people say this is because the scale of the problem is much, much worse in front-end javascript than in most other language communites and it's a real problem for people attempting to get to grips with best practice.

If your explanation was correct then we'd see the same problem everywhere at the same scale but there's something about front-end javascript that seems to exacerbate this issue.
Wow. Truly a genuine work of art here.
But now the gov wants to spy more, so they should have light grey tracking dots.
Why did you decide on .de domain? I think more global domain would be better.
Isn’t that a tautology? Everyone likes charisma, don’t they?
Why only 80%? Why not 100%?

Assuming by country you mean the US, just being born there is already incredible luck. I have no idea what you're talking about really, there will always be people with less "luck". I work very hard, consider myself very lucky in general, but also unlucky in some aspects. And hell, I can't afford a home either, but I'm okay with that because I don't expect society to hand me one.
While I kinda get that you can advance within a company as "staff", in practice it can take a long time, a long time working on the same software, the same technology stack, and a long time before there is room for advancement - if it even is a company where that kind of thing is possible. And even then there will be competition to advance on the ladder.

And of course, it has to depend on whether you aspire to climb the ladder and effectively change your job and responsibilities, or if you prefer to stick with (in the case of software development) the technology and advance in that direction.
I like the idea, but I would expect your PayPal business account to get banned pretty quickly without a more rigorous sign up process to prevent illegal content from being sold.

I thought the same thing about children and amateur artists — in a different way though.
Strange. Makes the whole thing seem more like a theatrical bid for attention than a serious acquisition offer.
Forgive me, but I'm copy-pasting my comment from elsewhere.

I can't quite get a clear picture of what you actually believe. Come down to my level and talk specifics vs. generalities:

1) Do you think that individuals or communities creating a content-specific space for user interaction should not have any right or ability to moderate the content?

2) Do you think individuals or communities creating a space dedicated to specific interest, hobby, or lifestyle should have no ability to moderate that content?

3) Abstracting a level higher, should all space for user-generated conversation and content necessarily welcome all contributions? In other words, should everything goes, everywhere, in all communities where user interaction is invited? Or are you just arguing the point semantically?

I truly, sincerely understand the point you are making but I also have no idea what you're advocating for.
Sadly, it seems to be “stuff given to me is well and proper while stuff given to them is socialism”. Unless those criticizing socialism forgo the weekend, social security (and other public pensions), Medicare, tax breaks…

If you’re really against socialism, it should be viscerally impossible to take something that is the result of collective action of others.

New Google Maps Immersive View Feature Uses NeRFs
Oh for sure there’s no way I’m getting those speeds. I don’t have that need though. A simple 1Gbps is enough for me. While advertised as 1Gbps adapters, I get at max 800Mbps which is fine. I don’t suffer from stuttering or packet loss as reported by others. I also don’t have a bunch of RF interference as reported by others. So I’m happy with them and will continue to use them.
Musk had one 30-minute conversation about potentially taking Tesla private with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (“Saudi PIF”) on July 31, 2018. No price was discussed, no structure for the transaction was proposed, no amount of funding was agreed.

That is the full extent of the promise to back it up.

If it wasnt a joke or stock price manipulation to stop loans against the stock from triggering, then Musk is retarded. Its pretty obvious he isnt retarded so it must be one of the other options.
I've seen the same thing in the Java world, I presume for the same reasons as in Go: calling native code in Java is painful, and traditionally Java always had an emphasis on "write once, run everywhere". So the Java community tends to reimplement C code in Java, even when limitations of the language make the code slower and/or more complex (see the classic post "Re: Why Git is so fast" aka "Why is C faster than Java" at https://marc.info/?l=git&m=124111702609723&w=2 or https://public-inbox.org/git/20090430184319.GP23604@spearce.... which mentions things like the lack of unsigned types or value types).

Google just released a paper that shows a language model beating the average human on >50% of tasks. I’d say we have a pretty good idea of how to get there.

> At best it’s pathetic

This seems a personal opinion and unhelpful. Others might say avoiding porn is pathetic; I think this topic should be discussed without name calling.

I like the comparison to alcohol. I don’t drink but I wouldn’t shame those who do (unless they have a compulsion or they drink to avoid problems).
Come on, it's so obvious that you've created a bunch of fake accounts for these comments
I have no evidence but was thinking about his work schedule, which by his own omission is insane, and he is running multiple companies. Along with his outspoken nature and need to insult people publicly makes me wonder if he is using some amphetamine or similar. Erratic behavior seems to be a side effect that comes with all that energy. Again, no evidence just throwing it out there
Really? Because I have an ICOM transceiver and have no interference at all.
> doesn’t account for changes in the stock price

It does.
I find mocking things up is better done visually. Whether that’s pen/paper, Illustrator, or a GUI builder like this. I think they serve the same purpose. The only difference is that with this, you’re closer to getting a final asset you can tweak with code. GUI builders have a long history. But the best of them produce code you can commit to git.

But, I guess the real question of usefulness is how good (or sane) the generated code is.

To use an example from a different comment, if it is closer to Dreamweaver, that at least produced workable code. If it is closer to FrontPage… good luck.
I do think that vegan diets are a good goal and industry will catch up. It will come down to comfort, not avarice.
Vegan diets lower inflammatories and increase meaningful longevity. Joints hurt less over time, lots of expensive cardio issues go away. Tom Brady of NFL fame eats that way specifically for injury recovery properties etc. and no one would call him a treehugger.

I don’t think I’ll ever be pure vegan but I’ll see how far I can get. Except for cheese as noted elsewhere, most meals are not lacking anything in terms of taste or satiation.
The truth behind the vomiting camel graph
I live in a walkable community on the US east coast that is clean, safe, and downright affordable compared to SF. Every student in town can walk to school, we walk to stores, restaurants, bars, and a train that takes us into the city center.

No fights, no filth. There are plenty of places that fit the bill.

Elon Musk is the Donald Trump of market manipulators. Is there a formal term for this type of leadership that both exhibit? Rapid ready-fire-aim comments and actions? Constantly keeping everyone involved laser focused on what could be coming next, scared to death.

Is this what the future of executive and political leadership looks like? The bull in the china shop?

Both personalities will be graduate level studies of sociology and phycology for years to come. And the crazy thing is that this stuff resonates so well with so many people (read: the cult of Trump and Elon)
It was never my intention to be "shitting" on anyone.

Can some explain what the spam/fake accounts are? In my little corner of 4 or 5 accounts with 2500 followers total, and a dozen or so hashtags I check frequently, I really rarely see spam or bot accounts ... I mean they pop up but its not a major aspect of twitter for me in my daily experience. And
I use twitter a LOT.

Are they counting my +1 accounts as fake? they're not, they each represent a different side of myself that's real, even if they don't bear my name. one for a site I created, one for a particular community I participate in, etc...
i've always wondered how that worked. Is it simply a statistical side-effect of people having read about one thing will post & like other posts about the same topic ?
Anecdotally, I think it depends where you work, as “Churn and burn” culture in large firms tends to push out workers every 1.5 to 3 years on average. i.e. any long-term planning is wishful thinking, and managers rarely allocate resources for general DFM training.

I do embedded stuff from time to time in the amateur rocketry hobby. The hardest part for me was getting the initial tool chain setup from scratch. I wanted to do it the way the “pros” did it with C, make, a compiler, and a loader no training wheels. Going from zero tools/code to a blinking led (the hello word of embedded) was pretty tough.

It never dawned on me that different buses run at different speeds and you have to literally setup the clocks. Heh and before that you have to load the assembly to jump to the address where main() is located (basically your own boot loader). I wouldn’t say it’s harder than web dev per se but it’s just very different.

Then I just bought a feather from Adafruit, started using micropython, and never looked back. Much better, although a buddy of mine holds his nose whenever I talk about it.
Okay, sorry, it's just that it's not nearly as unambigious as they claim. It could be an exit move, it could also be Musk trying to renegotiate the price. Also, he just tweeted: "Still committed to acquisition." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1525080945274998785

> Power supplies are the most common failure in electronics

In over 35 years of troubleshooting gear and systems, my experience is that 90% (no exaggeration) of problems are bad cables.

It seems even worse, these days, with high-speed serial cables, running on razor-thin margins, and often with embedded ICs.

That's why, when the IT geek comes to your desk, they just rip out all your cables, and replace them with new ones, out of the shrink-wrap. They'll toss out a hundred dollars' worth of perfectly good cables, because they know the deal. They could waste an hour, trying to troubleshoot a problem caused by an intermittent USB C cable.
Not to take away from your point, but a standup with eight devs really shouldn't take 30 minutes.
On Linux the widgets are drawn by GTK and/or Qt, not Wayland.

Also, the problem, I guess, is not just drawing (which could be done securely in a frame-buffer), but that you have to receive the events.
It's the normal thing to do if only spherical lenses are available. E.g. cheaper off the shelf contact lenses. Contacts with cylinder correction are relatively novel and have downsides. The lenses are not "too strong", astigmatism causes two focal points, and the spherical equivalent puts you in the middle of these two.
Channels & alts etc. are useful constructs regardless right?
I use those and have a generally positive view on them, but from personal experience, the adapters tend to de-synchronize, and re-synchronizing them is a pain (first of all because you need to actually access them, but since they are ugly they are generally kept hidden in hard to reach places).

They are also the other issues people reported.

IMO, they are fine in a rental where you don't have a lot of options and don't expect too much, but if you have a choice, use a better alternative.

Since hn is so negative on crypto, it likely missed the interesting details of the technical attack. Terra was doing a migration from a 3-token curve liquidity pool to a 4-token curve liquidity pool. During this migration their reserves are vulnerable, at at this point a well-capitalized attacker borrowed 100k BTC, converted it into UST and started attacking the peg.

Best nickname I heard for him was "Phoney Stark".

We want to believe in the cool, if a bit unhinged, hero-engineer that builds all the cool stuff we were promised in all the sci-fi movies as kids but failed to materialize, such as Mars colonies and self-driving cars. A lot of that failure is due to some things being a ton harder in reality than fiction, but a lot is also due to a managerialist, short-term culture that no longer seems to be thinking big and taking risks. Musk is the avatar for those who want these cool things and kicks back against the prevailing culture - a real-life counterpart to the billionaire genius in the Marvel movies.

The problem is, of course, that Tony Stark is a fictional character and Musk is not. Not only has he been drinking his own kool aid of late, but he's not much of a hero either, rather a spoiled bully who punches down.

Apple Privacy Push, Euro Bills, and India Debate
The main reason why I personally try to avoid adding non-go languages to my go projects is because it tends to make profiling / debugging a bit of a pain. pprof has limited vision into any external C threads so all you can see is the function call and the time goroutines spent off-cpu while waiting for it to finish. You can obviously supplement some of that with other tools (perf), but sometimes accepting the tradeoffs and using a Go implementation of the package instead just makes more sense.
we used to have a phrase to remind each other not to give attention to the bad actors: “don’t feed the trolls” (doesn’t capture 100% of attention sinks, but it’s catchy, and a certain percentage of people understood that the phrase could apply more broadly). it occurred to me that i haven’t heard this phrase in several years now.

Compared to the marketing bluster I see from the old aerospace companies and greenwashing from older car companies, however, he’s a spectacular breath of fresh air with his honesty, openness, and willingness to say things have a less than 100% chance of success.

I once heard that you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time around and the older I get the more true that rings. I try to be _really_ particular with the communities I join and I have _no qualm_ removing either people from my communities or myself from theirs if I don't feel like we're helping each other; or more specifically if _I don't feel_ that _I am growing_ in the way _I want to grow_.

We should be kind to each other, for sure, regardless of what _Group_ we're in. Everyone should have equal access to their needs and desires. But. I am not _obligated to allow you to influence me_.
It amazes me how easily you cast aspersions onto someone you don't even know. To go so far to accuse someone who leads massive innovations and organizations and still has enough time to share his thoughts on Twitter as someone who's "disorderly".

Failing Forward – How We Grow from Incidents
less things to go wrong. This gives you benefits all the way up the dev stack. Changing an integration test from needing its own db server installed to just a couple of files on disk is a big difference in complexity. You can probably run that test with just a local disk almost infinitely entirely deterministically, conversely as soon as you go onto the network all bets are off.

Granted, if you already have the tooling its less of a big deal but if you don't then you need the tooling, e.g. your build and test machines need to have access to some sql installation somewhere and that the process of maintaining that can be a flaky one.
Or they could focus on reducing the stress instead, like ensuring projects have a manager who listens to employees' feedback.
Looks good but upon clicking I thought for over 5 seconds that this was a sideproduct of WeTransfer - at least styling-wise. Serif font for titles, big blue plus sign, split screen of colorful graphic and the info.

Also curious about the name. "Fruits" domains seem to be worth quite a bit. May sound harsh but change the name and sell the costly domain for something that is more explanatory?
