For me esbuild has worked pretty well. Given a index.js as the entrypoint for your app:

npx esbuild index.js --bundle --sourcemap --minify --outfile=out.js --format=esm

esbuild is also pretty quick and does not have a lot of npm depencencies thanks to being a go binary.

npx should download and run the binary for you and npx is almost always installed with node automatically.

It's 10 years too early for you to lecture me about what I can or can't comment about, or HN guidelines. I've already commented about how that particular guideline is wrong and has harmed HN community quality so I will continue to ignore it.

A better analogy for your comment would be in a Twitter conversation, you replying to an OP with a quote tweet of a similar comment you made in the past. Yes, I do find those annoying.

I'm really not concerned whether the severe drop in SNR comes primarily from entryists from Reddit, Twitter, or some obscure web forum (likely it's diffuse). But on its face, the rise of jokes, puns, and other low-effort comments - having to collapse threads to find the comments with something useful to add to the convo - is very reminiscent of Reddit threads, where entertainment and cheap memetics are valued equally or greater than logos. HN used to distinguish itself by obliterating that type of cruft, with a "lurk moar" sting, but it no longer does thanks to lazy gatekeeping.

Now I'm not going to change any of this by pointing it out - the horse bolted years ago and closing the stable door won't change anything now - but you should know the "signals" you're intent on following are worthless as they're from a Reddit-lite entity, not HN classic.

- "wait that says in production. this is actually keeping something standing up. Oh. I wonder if the recipient actually realizes."

So, the one question I probably *can* ask: what effective data rate did you manage?
It's true that ERs don't turn people down, but some hospitals would be happy to treat someone but also send them a gigantic bill which may or may not eventually be waived. Speaking from experience, often people put off obtaining medical care because they fear large bills and financial ruin.

Canada has problems, and it's good to talk about them lest we never be rid of them.

Suggesting "just leave" is a pretty facile argument if I'm being abundantly generous.

Fleeing a country whenever you take issue with industry cronyism is an excellent way to move to a new country every 3 weeks. It's also a great way to make sure whatever policies you disagree with flourish in your absence.

Changing country comes at a huge financial and emotional cost not everyone can afford.

What country did you move to that magically doesn't have any problems?

Most developed countries took a significant hit to fertility rates around 1970-1980 and stayed below replacement rate since then, fluctuating or dropping further down but never recovering well above replacement rate. I can think of a few things happening during those years, but "housing" wouldn't be a global one.

> the established threshold above which safety to humans starts to be a factor

Specifically, 50 volts is approximately the threshold above which electricity can pass through the skin and shock you. Lower voltages will only shock humans if they have a way to bypass some of the skin, like wounds or tight-fitting metal jewelry. Otherwise, the resistance of skin is high enough to prevent the flow of electricity. That's why you can touch both terminals of a 12V car battery at the same time and almost certainly not be shocked.

I'm on a long road trip, so can't spend a lot of time responding right now (gotta hit the road). But some quick points:

The page layout is important because many workloads are memory-bandwidth bound. Effective selectivity mechanisms outside the page reduce the need for intra-page selectivity optimization in terms of delivering performance but you still need to preserve memory bandwidth. This biases designs with good page-external selectivity mechanisms to optimize for widening the set of workloads they perform well on instead of squeezing out slightly more selectivity for narrow workloads.

Some of these assertions are self-evident and non-controversial, such as the poor storage performance of Postgres and the issue of B-tree bloat generally. Using mmap() for storage is the low-performance option, articles regarding which are regularly posted on HN, so the fact that it "has mmap" is a good example of why it is expected to perform poorly (though it isn't the only reason in the case of Postgres). I believe there are plans in the works to potentially redesign the Postgres storage layer in future versions, so this may improve at some point.

But more broadly, you seem to be a bit confused about the theory of database kernel design and the tradeoffs that can be made there? You are questioning things about how actual, real, databases, including most open source ones, are designed.
Thanks for the infos. Those are really helpful! Have you tried either one of them? What you don't like and like about it?
Yes they will find a way .. it is always like that .. and so should we. It is not a perfect solution to ban AR-15s and like guns but it is an incremental solution.

Here (Finland's 3rd biggest city) this happened on 29-Sep-2007, nearly 15 years ago.

Just for comparison. Most Finn's are very proud of being digital leaders, but I don't say it's really a good thing. Children, tourists, homeless etc. should be able to use a phone. Everybody should be able to communicate without leaving digital tracks. Surveillance capitalism is a sick model.
One problem is that, if you just keep and maintain "some" payphones, there probably won't be nearly enough to be useful if the cellular infrastructure is out for some reason.
> unregistered securities don’t have oversight by the SEC

The SEC created a safe harbor for registration. The Securities Act of 1933 regulates all securities [1]. This is why private companies issuing shares have to hire securities lawyers.

Well someone has to empty them, right? So they must know where they are.

Per the article, there's some private payphones around still, so you might still see them.
It saddens me that you can't think of a use for a communication device that doesn't track your every move in such detail that would make omniscient deities jealous.
Very cool. I wonder if the source to this is still floating around anywhere?
> if I sock away my first paycheck flipping burgers under my mattress and do nothing with it for 50 years, a deflationary regime means I can take it back out and buy a lot more with it than someone with their first paycheck flipping burgers today.

Thats still true with inflation too. No idea what your point is.

Yes, I think that’s fair. From my perspective, they’re making the right tradeoffs—I personally value size, waterproofing, and cost more than repairability. I might feel differently if Apple wasn’t essentially giving away battery replacement service for free, or if I had to replace my battery more often. But as it is, my phones last me years and years with just one battery replacement and no other service needed during their lifetime. Making that once-in-a-phone’s-lifetime replacement easier at the cost of other capabilities doesn’t make sense to me.
It's only perhaps possible in the most desperately impoverished portions of Indian cities. If you think even moderately poor and above Indians are going to be OK with a random person picking up their children for a meal, that's pretty unlikely.
One line from the relevant reported bug [1] that caught my eye was:
"The current behavior gives the impression that Ubuntu 22.04 is unreliable and unsafe to use which is a problem for an LTS release that many people might want to use for critical production context."

I think a lot of people make the same, understandable, but incorrect, assumption that an LTS release is more stable than a normal release.

In my experience, Ubuntu LTS releases are equally stable/unstable as non-LTS release - the only distinction is that it is supported for a longer period of time, and hence tends to acquire more stability over time. Recently released LTS versions are quite frequently messy, and quite often new features make their debut in LTS releases - sometimes disruptively.

[Edit: Turns out this is one such case - systemd-oomd made its Ubuntu debut in 22.04]

This is a uniquely North American perspective, and is tightly coupled to the North American pattern of development. This "common life timeline" is uncommon outside of the U.S. and Canada, and the fact that car dependency and onerous zoning codes dominate these two countries is the reason.

Edit: The U.S. mythology of suburbs being a "great place to raise kids" is also sorely misguided, and is a major reason why there are so many adolescents who spend most of their free time at home on social media/video games. Being completely dependent on parents to shuttle you around is no way to live.

Urgent Care facilities do. One time I badly needed a minor surgery. I went to an urgent care and was told they could see me immediately, but didn't accept my insurance and would charge $450. My other option was to go to the hospital across the street which did take my insurance, but I had to wait 8 hours and be treated like I was an opiate addict with a self inflicted or imaginary condition. So, that would have been great if someone somehow showed up and paid the first clinic.

You cannot learn programming just by reading. Try using it in practice. The concepts part should be enough to get you started for a simple vanilla JavaScript project.

If you need more (e.g. TypeScript/JSX/CSS support), You will need some third-party loaders or plugins. webpack itself is just a JavaScript bundler.

Rust I believe doesn't do true cross-compilation, isn't it just relying on you using virtualization like docker and other to do so?
Just FYI: things that are actually "saving lives" are probably realtime applications, which need things like deterministic execution time, no allocation from the os, bounded memory usage, which rust generally does not give you without a ton of effort.
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) was the weakest link in the land lines. Since so much traffic has moved off onto wireless I would think there's a lot of reason to use landlines as a reliable emergency line when the towers are overloaded or down. Landlines were reliable for power outages since the power was supplied separately by the phone company and the lines were buried in the ground.

Nicotine is an absolutely amazing chemical, and on its own is relatively innocuous, even beneficial. It's only part of the smoking experience, though. Vapes are pleasant, but not the same effect by any stretch.
I live in a popular vacation destination. The locals didn't panic when wealthy multiple-home owners started buying up houses because ... their property values were increasing! Now local business can't find workers, towns can't find employees all because housing is out of reach for the working and lower-middle class.

> Yes. Because we have no idea how to define 'fair'.

Well, we do. I mean, we have a pretty solid idea of what represents the absolute bare minimum. For starters, minimum wage should be a living wage. It should be enough all on its own to meet living expenses, including paying for a modest apartment, without breaking any effort rate limit.

Is this too hard?

Are we supposed to pretend that some people simply do not have a right to have a decent life?

> . I hear 'fair wage' over and over but no one can ever explain to me what makes the wage 'fair' other than, "I have a job and I should be able to live on that single job!"

Why exactly do you have a hard time understanding this?

Look at yourself. Look at the living expenses you have, specially the basic necessities. You pay for the roof over your head, for the food on your plate, for the clothes on your back. Do you have a hard time quantifying that?

This is even simpler than that. Landlords and banks already use the concept of effort rate. They already know that if someone's effort rate goes beyond 40% then they are at a significant risk of financial distress. Is it too hard to start from there and determine what's a living wage in any region?

Or is there zero lack of interest, and a desire to pull the ladder out of your own feet to screw everyone less fortunate than you?
Whatever truth there is to this, I think the death knell for smoking was the success of anti-smoking campaigns to frame smokers as our common enemy due to second hand smoke and whip up public sentiment (that is always looking for a politically acceptable group to vilify) against them.

This is the same hatred that authorities were able to leverage in the recent vaccine stuff. Some grain of truth gets distorted so that the out-group isn't just presenting an acute risk in some very specific situations, but becomes an evil that must be fought even when it doesnt actually affect us.

Reducing smoking is probably a good thing. I'm definitely happy I quit years ago. But at what cost?
Just semantics, but I think the borrow checker is part of modernizing C++.

(The way to manage memory in C++ and C is to opt in to a memory management pattern... hopefully you've chosen a good pattern and hopefully you follow it consistently. Patterns are generally backed by utilities and primitives that are hopefully correct, complete, and hopefully make it relatively easy to follow the pattern consistently. Hopefully you can get a linter to help you too. In a sense Rust takes the same approach, but was implemented from the ground up to eliminate all the gaps so you essentially don't have to hope to successfully bridge the gaps yourself.)
Maybe we have a common ground: Police going “Jee man, dude’s got a big scary weapon” and affecting the hopes of conjuring any bit of courage left in them to bust in and eliminate the threat.

It's interesting tha synthesizers went through this already.

In the 70's and early 80's--analog synthesizers--everything was knobs, sliders, and real buttons.

Then everything was stuffed behind a minimum of buttons and maybe 1 or 2 knobs/sliders if you wer lucky, and a plethora of options and menus buried behind often a thin 16x2 LCD display.

That was the early to mid 90's--analog sounds in electronic music started making a comeback, and by the latter half of the 90's and beyond everything started to have knobs and sliders again, even if the internals were no longer analog.

I do wonder if not for that trend driven by the TB-303 and what not, would that even have happened to synthesizers.

Maybe the same blacklash and pendulum swing will happen with everything else, but it seems like there's more pressure than ever to make users fit the product and save costs that way, rather than make the product for users and accept the price increases.

That's awesome! I've never been a part of a car community anything like this before. The closest is with Saturn fans, but those cars are so plentiful that parts can almost always be found locally even with the early ones like my backup car.

I'll have to see where I get on the caliper rebuild. The surviving local SAAB shop has been a great resource, and they've offered some good used pistons if I end up needing them. I'm in the midwest and I get the sense that SAAB never had as big of a presence around here; mine was an IDS car so it was purchased directly from the factory. Most of them including mine have suffered heavy rust damage by now, so there aren't many left.

Is there a way to move things around after you create them?
We should certainly look at present conditions, and do what we can to ameliorate them. That "one crazy guy" was rather emblematic of the times -- people institutionalized were subject to horrific treatment and abuses. OP said "look no further" for reasons that the system was dismantled. It wasn't this one "bad apple", the rot had spread far and wide and the system needed to be purged. Unfortunately, it also needed to be rebooted with a different culture rooted in humane care, and that has not happened on the scale that our society needs.

But there's the rub. The American way is to scale things up, and industrialize them. I've seen the inside of a few mental health wards when friends of mine have been committed. They can still be pretty awful, and I don't want to see them scaled up. I don't think that is a problem that can be solved with bigger, more industrial, institutions. I look to Geel[1] as an aspirational model, but I'm not sure such a thing is compatible with American culture. To properly address mental health problems, we need a profound cultural shift. Bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, really.
