For one thing, delaying support for basic features lets one ship them as hot features for future launches and updates.

Case in point, Apple making a fuss last Monday over finally allowing users to change file extensions in CandyCrushOS^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H iPadOS 16, a move some 51 years after mv was introduced to Unix on which that operating system is ostensibly based.
Good stuff. I wholeheartedly concur.
Web dev should START with it's underpinnings, not gloss them over as complicated and thereby leaving the dev with no sense of the true costs for various decisions.
>> Not to mention that training a model is a "one time deal", where a successfully trained model can be reused by a lot of client (devices).

you are right, but never underestimate the collective stupidity of large software departments where they retrain every time someone makes a commit into their CI/CD pipelines.
I've used bearblog.dev in the past and it seemed to do a good job. Otherwise you could use a static site generator like Hugo or something if your willing to do it a bit more manually. Or even just plain HTML/CSS (could even go without the CSS), which has always seemed like a nice idea to me.
I would rather try to understand the brainfuck version. :)
I could have made the point differently. What I wanted to emphasize is that there is an external view of a given field and an internal view. The actual inner workings and process are poorely understood and the few public debates give a very skewed view of the field.
That's right, and it was in 1990, several years before 1994.

Ben Stoltz at Sun wrote the original "TATool" (TA stood for "Tony and Alba's", the name of a Mountain View pizza parlor that took orders via fax) in XView using the DevGUIDE user interface builder tool. It used Sun's as-yet-unannounced NeWS based PostScript=>FAX email service to send a text order via FAX to Tony and Alba's Pizza.

When he showed it to me on 23 Oct 90, I played around with it and accidentally ordered my first pizza over the internet, and had to call them on the voice phone to cancel the order, since I was only playing around with TATool.

Since I was working on a different NeWS based user interface toolkit that was implemented in PostScript (The NeWS Toolkit or "TNT"), I decided to make a graphical version of PizzaTool to show off the capabilities of NeWS, that drew a colorful picture of the pizza, and faxed a black-and-white image of it to Tony and Alba's, instead of a text order. It made a round window on the screen and drew all the toppings as you selected them, and even let you spin the pizza to "cook" it by "melting" the pixels.

The first time I faxed an image of a pizza to Tony and Alba's, they were mystified because they couldn't tell which toppings to use just by looking at the black and white image, so I improved it by drawing black text with white outlines over the pizza image to make it easier to read.

>As it turns out, it takes a hell of a long time to fax a picture of a PostScript pizza, because the PostScript halftone scales and jaggies turn on and off and on and off so quickly and unpredictably that it’s extremely inefficient for the fax algorithms to compress, and very susceptible to line noise. Fax was just not designed for that kind of computer generated imagery!

I posted a message about it to some mailing lists, and the industry trade rag "UNIX Today!" did a back cover article on it, so it got a lot of attention, and I got in trouble for revealing Sun's top-secret multimedia FAX strategy. And that kicked off huge flame war on internal Sun mailing lists, and a manager finally had to ban all discussion of pizza.

I quietly continued to develop PizzaTool, implementing drag-and-drop support so you could drop images into your pizza and spin them, cleaned up the code, wrote lots of documentation and comments, and a manual entry, to make it into a NeWS programming example for TNT developers. We finally shipped PizzaTool as an official part of OpenWindows 3 on the release of Solaris Unix SVR4. (Although I had to disable the fax feature, since it was just meant to be a TNT user interface demo and PostScript programming example.)

Here's the manual entry and source code, which is a great example of object oriented PostScript programming in NeWS:

Whatever specific idea you have in mind is either not commonly held, not sensible, or both uncommon and non-sensible. If it was both common and sensible, we’d already be doing it.
They don't mention smart contracts in that page either. However, if you look at https://ethereum.org/en/web3/ you will see this: "At its core, Web3 uses blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to give power back to the users in the form of ownership". And this: "Web3 is trustless: it operates using incentives and economic mechanisms instead of relying on trusted third-parties."

So I guess, when they compare web2 with web3, they implicitly mean the things I quoted.
I'd argue that, while it may not be selfish to have kids, most people who are having kids do it for selfish reasons. They don't want to "die alone". They want to show that they can afford it. They want to vicariously get into Harvard and work in publishing (if traditional publishing still exists in the 2040s at all) and live some imagined high life... even though the probabilities are minuscule and most children are going to inherit a world even shittier than the one we were stuck with.

I don't think I'll have kids. It's the one vote I've got. Why would I stake anything I care about on a society that will almost certainly fail them?
While mining the metal probably hasn't been cheap, it's not as much a recurring cost as the cost of proof-of-work.

Besides, in my part of the world at least, i haven't carried cash in a decade or more, and most people i know don't either. Money is increasingly only a digital thing that exists in your (also digital) bank account.

Even "micro payments" between individuals is being handled here, for a decade or so, by MobilePay[1] on the domestic side, and PayPal on the international side, with Apple Pay looking to be a close contestant to both, at least for the 55-60% of the population using iPhones.

Bitcoin used all the energy and took all the profits, so there isn't enough left for the AI. duh.

Or, and hear me out, using energy to push society forward isn't necessarily bad.

Maybe instead of vilifying every new technology that uses energy for the last 20 years, including the internet: (Dig more coal the PCs are coming https://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0531/6311070a.html?sh=56f...), perhaps the impetus should be on incentivizing green energy production.

I'm not sure if your first point is a necessity for other perhaps good ideas.

They will either not make those notes or only do one batch due to it just being a novelty in it's current state.

For me it feels like 'blind entrepreneur + we want to ship + we need to ship for more funding'.

I would even like to support weird ideas if it wouldn't promote Bitcoin usage :-(

I think your second point is more interesting: why do you think this digital to analog transition will be a thing?

Even in Zimbabwe they already have 50% smartphones and those are only getting cheaper and cheaper and will continue to flood the market.

My future imagines a smartphone only world for everything. From money, to house and car key. Germany now allows your passport or driver license on your phone.

I think it will be much more interesting how we can make smartphone theft obsolete and phone recovery easy. Like how do I regain my phone's state when I loose it while traveling.

The game has already been changed. The M1 is still a leader in performance per watt, Apple can take it's time with incremental improvements to it.

It is weird to snicker at the M2 GPU for only being rated at 3.6 TFLOPS, half as much as the RTX 3050, and concluding that you can't use it for gaming. There is a limited selection of macOS titles, but the M2 GPU is as fast as a GTX 1060 and GTX 1650, two of the most popular cards according to Steam.
Usually, when the money runs out, they return with their tails between their legs, often in shittier jobs that they'd have had if they'd stuck with it.

You're right about the grass being greener. The tech industry is an absolute plague, but most other industries are just as bad.

In the long term, and for most of us, the only way to escape this garbage system is to blow it up.
It's also written in Zig, not a scripting language, so that can't be what they mean either.
I was thinking the same thing while reading through the text
Let me phrase it in a slightly different way:

Vanilla javascript assignments can be any expression.

JSX assignments (the brackets) can be any expression.

There's no weirdness nor extra limitations to JSX assignments compared to normal vanilla JS. It works exactly the same.

If you think not being able to assign JS blocks is weird you're going to have to explain to me what this piece of JS code would do:

const val = if (x < y) { func(); }
This attack (and some variants of it, e.g. fooling the proximity detection or man in the middle) work because the acknowledgement action that the user does is simply having the device nearby. This seems like a poor choice of acknowledgement action for something that transfers money. Payment devices should probably have a physical or soft button that you have to press to acknowledge payment.
Airbnb and Booking.com show you a price in AUD. You fully expect to be billed in AUD, from an Australian entity.

The company bills you in AUD but from a billing entity overseas. This might be like the situation where you choose in which currency to be billed, I'm not sure on the exact mechanics. But close enough.

Crucially, you are not informed that you are being billed from an overseas entity. No indication whatsoever.

Your bank, seeing a charge from an overseas entity, applies their surcharges. Whatever they are.

And so you pay the amount you expected to pay - totally cool - plus some surprise surcharge - totally uncool.

I don't understand. If you pay $5000 a year for your medical insurance, but it paid $10k for your medication, how have they made money? If they could purchase the same medication for $2000 instead, surely it would be more profitable for them?

Qualcomm has even ended up in a legal quarrel with Apple over a modem contract that in the end led to Qualcomm getting what they wanted.

It allows typing as you'd expect.

I find nameql.com great for this task of finding a good available dotcom but you have to have a seed word.
There is also DroidCam, which despite the name also has an iOS version. It has a pro version that's a one-time purchase.
I turned down $500K and shut down my startup (2016)
There was a reddit thread about this article yesterday and it was filled with people who were suddenly able to find their medication for orders of magnitude cheaper. This meant that for some it made an immediate and significant financial difference to their lives, and for others it meant access to medication they could not previously afford. In some cases reading this article was being described as "life saving".

This is very interesting but not because Cuban's business model is unique. It suggests that this group, who are probably a bit more net savvy on average, were not aware of other similar businesses like GoodRX.

This implies that there is a highly in demand product (cheap medication) but the problem is awareness, so it's a marketing challenge. Cuban is very well positioned to solve this problem by using his personal brand and tools like these PR articles.

This is a good thing! He has the brand, marketing chops and resources to drive it forward. It will increase the size of the market, meaning more people have access to life changing affordable medication. This may spawn more clones of the business model, further increasing the market size, rinse repeat. If this market gets big enough maybe it will apply pressure for change upstream? That would be a great thing.

Here on HN we are heavily weighted in our thinking towards the value of product in business (which is normally undervalued) and that is great, but examples like this reveal a real blind spot. Sometimes the value of something like marketing is forgotten or even worse dismissed. But they're extremely powerful tools when used correctly. Apply good marketing to a good product and you have Apple.
“Made in Germany”. Also, the grammar has been corrected by now.
How about the wayback machine?
Telecoms companies do usually require a signed credit agreement. Which is how they are able to make these threats.
In my experience, big but boring companies seem to more amenable to this. E.g. in the UK high street banks, supermarkets made quite a thing out of their flexible working when I was looking. I guess they know people aren’t “passionate about the product” so they focus on the working environment. Anywhere with a history of unions helps too.
Which healthcare system are you referring to? US? Or another country? Honest question.

I am also curious to understand if European, UK and Asian healthcare systems suffer from substandard care problem.
But is the system really responsible for all of this? I mean, if we go back to a more "natural" state, with simpler jobs and with more direct impacts, are we actually happier? Is cutting woods all day long more fulfilling that a tech job? Or being a mason and putting block on top of each other for other people that you do not know about?

Or is it just that in tech, we have the luxury to think about all of that, and to potentially take several years without working much thanks to our high salary?
He’s apparently so important and busy that he has to make these videos while driving in his super car from point A to point B. 15 years ago, this “content” would have been a blog post, which we could have skimmed in 30 seconds to get the gist of the counter argument.

> Haven't seen a single case where the rate of my bank would not have been better.

Smart move. You can be sure that when a bank offers you convenience, it's not to your advantage.

The absolute worst are ATMs, where a "guaranteed exchange rate" can cost you 50 - 100 Euros, depending on the amount withdrawn.
I don't know about you, but I usually like seeing what's in the file before I spend time writing a awk command on it.

cat myfile.txt # check the file because I'm not even sure that's the correct name
cat myfile.txt | awk blablabla # no I didn't forget awk syntax, I swear

I would be afraid of any person that after this, goes back and rewrites the beginning of the line to replace cat with a redirection.

Even with "ctrl-a alt-d < alt-f alt-f ctrl-d ctrl-d ctrl-e" that replaces cat with < and removes the pipe, which any emacs user can pull off in it's sleep
Except many of those syntactic-sugars do not operate on well-formed monads. JavaScript collapses a Promise<Promise<t>> to a Promise<t>, for example.

Has some additional information. If the merchant-ID for an online sale is outside the US, a US credit card company might charge a foreign transaction fee even if the sale is in USD. (This isn’t a currency conversion fee.) Substitute AU for US above as needed for Australian customers.
> It falls apart when you need to work with it professionally though

More accurately: it falls apart when you need it professionally :) Totally depends on the usecase.
"It's safer - "cat" is a read-only operation, once you've written that command up-front there is no longer a risk of overwriting the original file with a typo in the rest of the pipeline."

With zsh you can prevent such accidents by "setopt NO_CLOBBER"

The result is that if you "foo > bar" and "bar" exists, zsh will refuse to overwrite "bar" and give you an error: "zsh: file exists: bar"

This makes constructs such "foo < bar > baz" perfectly safe, because accidentally typing "foo > bar > baz" will error out when "bar" (or "baz") already exists.

(PS: if you want to force zsh to overwrite the file even when NO_CLOBBER is set you can "foo >| bar")
> use hyphens, and suddenly very small nice domains become available.

Bad idea. The owner of the corresponding domain without hyphens might steal your visitors.
I'm quite surprised how much I can do in my spare time on my small startup than often enough in my day to day job.
The renewal fees for .io domains are a scamola. Last I checked it was $50+/year.
The whole point of this decades-long unleaded AVGAS saga is to develop a fuel that is a drop-in replacement for the current leaded AVGAS. A fuel that needs to be stored either in a pressure tank or chilled does not fulfill that requirement.

Now, if you're developing a new plane from scratch, I guess propane in theory could be an option. But why? For aircraft, energy density of the fuel is important, and propane does pretty well here, slightly better in fact than gasoline or kerosene (jet fuel). But in practice more than offset by the requirement to store the fuel pressurized. And then you have the whole fuel infrastructure issue, how are you gonna convince airports to stock propane considering they're already struggling to find an economic case for AVGAS due to the long-term decline of general aviation.

I think if you're going to develop a new plane, it would make sense to make it use the fuel that's available, namely Jet A1 (well, maybe electric for some usecases). Sure, it's not usable in an Otto engine, but since you're developing a new plane anyway, power it by a diesel engine or turbine.

It is, and the author isn't criticising the language as a whole for it. They're merely commenting that it isn't a good options for forcing you to use and therefore learn functional paradigms.
I book mostly via Delta’s site and the displayed price in the grids, quoted price during ticketing, and charged price are all the same. My experience at United was the same.

Sheer numbers and growth rate. China and India are huge markets and growing. Europe is a mature market which is stagflated. US has some more growth left.
One of the project goals is to reduce data friction and maximize adoption. User-generated content about rock climbing routes is available under CC0. We also want to release photos of rock walls as a supplemental dataset. These photos can be very useful for making "climbing topos" [1].

Requiring attribution (BY) will make it an administrative nightmare for us to manage and for downstream users to comply. Should users attribute us or the original authors? I believe for the same reason OpenStreetMap replaced CC BY-SA 2.0 with ODBL [2].

I wonder if it will make it possible to run x86 Linux executables on ARM FreeBSD, same way you can run ARM Linux executables on ARM FreeBSD.
This seems very interesting and I feel such a cohesive framework is needed in JS/TS, as an alternative to cobble together various unrelated packages.

On the other hand, I wonder what will be the level of support for each of these libraries - just the ORM or desktop UI seem like a lot of work.
I’ve gotten to a (privileged) point where I don’t give a flying shit about my credit score now. The way I deal with these kinds of inhuman disputes involves removing my payment/contact information from the vendor’s system, filing any applicable chargebacks, and then entirely ghosting them.

Maybe it will come back to bite me in the ass one day, but I honestly don’t care anymore. Mostly, because no one cares about me as a person anymore. I am just yet-another consumer to be exploited as much as possible.
How does apple get your data that way?
Strange and sad.
The original BIOSs were for a 8bit/16bit archs. I'm guessing this was measured on a modern arch, and the result would be smaller on a smaller pointer size. I wonder what the size would be if complied for avr.
Spell checker is an obvious use case. You can then add terms to the system dictionary and now they're valid systemwide in all apps that use the dictionary for spell checking!
Why is the name DialMe if the main use case is to receive a message not a call? :/
Well, in that case I want to know, so that would also be a valid answer to my question.

You can do a lot with 6502s, which are still being made. (And we can probably make better than that. 80486s?)
Wordpress is not a bad alternative.

Personally I would go with Hugo though. The main reasons for that: a) Native Markdown support – you can store your blog posts in a Git repo. b) Much much easier to write a custom theme for Hugo than for Wordpress.

The CMS part of Wordpress is quite good!

Yes, I agree, the M1 was the game changer, but the M1 GPU isn’t at the level of this great CPU, from my point of view, this GPU (M2), is the right hardware for the CPU, or at least I hope. I’m using the M1 and the only complaint is the gpu.
My friends cabin in northern Minnesota has steel kitchen cabinets, and I am honestly marveled by them. My favorite bit is the arc-shaped silverware drawer just beneath the sink, swings out hinged. Gives you just a tiny bit more cupboard space in an otherwise tiny kitchen.

That place has some other interesting oddities like the low-pile carpeted garage and pre-manufactured stoop made from slices of cement of different heights per step, the top landing being 3 slices. Textured surface on top. They all kinda wobble and clink as you walk on it, never seen anything like it elsewhere.
