I agree with everything you said there.

I will also point out that there is some fairly low hanging fruit in this PyScript project, if they will attempt to be more "web native". Take this example: https://pyscript.net/examples/panel_kmeans.html

It loads a bunch of large `.whl` files, and they're served up without any apparent compression, which raised my eyebrows immediately. Upon closer inspection, this is a zip file under the hood, so they probably figured that compressing a zip file over the wire was a waste of resources, and they're not really wrong... but, does it need to be a zip file? That means they're shipping a library to handle decompressing and manipulating zip files.

If we unpack the zip file and make an uncompressed tarball out of it, we can feed that through brotli and get a much smaller file:

18M bokeh.whl
9M bokeh.tar.br

The network transfer is now twice as fast, and the browser will do a phenomenal job at decompressing this resource before handing it to the application. The browser will (presumably?) decompress these resources in parallel instead of the (likely) sequential process currently being used, the browser should be faster at decompression anyways, and not handling decompression means less code that PyScript has to ship. Even better, subsequent page loads wouldn't have to keep decompressing the same bundle over and over... it'll just be a cached resource. You'd still need to handle the tar format, but that shouldn't be too terrible.

Basically all browsers support Brotli[0], and you could always have a slow fallback for the... checks notes... IE 11 users out there.

This kind of low hanging fruit won't magically fix all the problems with PyScript, but it could go some distance towards making it more palatable for the purpose of bundling up a lightly modified Python application for use over the web.

I don't understand how driving with a suspended license is considered to be not dangerous. Many people who have their licenses suspended are dangerous drivers, and that is why they lose their license. To me, driving with a suspended license is on obvious threat to public safety.
Their cheapest bottom of the barrel model is now 62k CAD in Canada. I don't feel like the recent move to increase the price of their cars by tens of thousands of dollars is aligned with the goal of making cheap EVs.
I think it is tradition.

And by that I mean Steve Jobs traditionally avoided enterprise software, and games.
I have a different question. Who will be able to afford this, and under what insurance plans?
Really nice to see the exploratorium keeping old-school parts of their site up like this. Honestly surprising.

Brings back memories of the old days in their punk-rock warehouse location. Some of the best times of my life. Cleaning stains out of the tactile dome, riding skateboards the around the empty museum after we closed, cutting cows eyes open with my best friend, explaining ladle rat rotten hut to confused visitors...

It's still a world-class museum but different obviously. Maybe the grunge-magic captured by this page is still alive over there in some form.

I’m a heavily technical engineer and also an entrepreneur. I’m looking at low and no-code solutions right now (specifically Draftbit currently) because even if I can whip up something quickly, I can do it even faster with a low-code solution in areas that aren’t my domain. Also when I have a thousand other things to worry about learning mobile app dev as a primarily backend guy isn’t high on the list of priorities.
It took less than a second on my basic af macbook lol.
The world of journalism is both shrinking and consolidating. Aside from their being fewer and smaller newsrooms, they're all on Twitter following each other.
The push for equal opportunities tends to cast the traditional roles in a subtly negative light.
Is sequencing a binary thing, or would there be reason to continuously do a swab for purposes of DNA analysis (or, as often as the technology advances).

In other words, is this a one-and -done thing?
You do realize the reporters didn't go to journalism school because they dream of churning out clickbait for a living, yeah? I'm sure the vast majority of them would rather be paid to do nothing than to generate clickbait, too. (Or, you know, be paid to challenge the powerful.)

In 2003--my freshman year in college--I worked for the online desk at my hometown newspaper. I worked overnight. Once the print paper was ready, I reviewed and massaged automatically-converted copies of the for-print layout to ensure they were ready to publish online and manually pulled them from the quark files if they weren't. Our online desk was in one corner of a cavernous newsroom with scores and scores of desks, between the compositor and the sports desk.

There were more sports reporters working the desk next to me in 2003 than the total number of reporters left at the entire paper now. The industry is a husk.
> Same goes for prototyping. I don't see much of a correlation between willingness to prototype and seniority, either.

Willingness is one thing, but getting yelled at for learning and doing your best is another. I never treat my Juniors like that, and encourage a 75/25 working/improving split. Still, several frequently get anxiety about how long it's taking them to clear tickets.

That's why I think Penrose may be on to something by saying the universe "forgets" how to tell time between different "epochs", where each "epoch" appears to have begun with a time zero corresponding with a big bang. If the universe "forgets" how to tell time between those "epochs" then those epochs are causally separated and you sidestep the infinite amount of events. The interesting bit is what evidence would reveal that to be the case?
Yeah, from a cost/redundancy/etc perspective it rarely would make sense to run 1.

I will get pre-terminated for MTP runs, but not for anything else. Fusion splicing connectors just isn't slow (and if i need to go quick, i'll just splice a pigtail onto it until it fails)

I agree for redundancy, etc, better to just add more until loss-of-ROI occurs, but will say doing something for extra capacity for home users/even business users feels like massive overkill these days.

Even 2km 100G duplex transceivers for SMF are <$200 a piece now.

Depending on how dumb the battery controller is, all it takes is pumping the right voltage back into the appropriate pins.
You're right. I guess my brain wouldn't let me process something as dumb as a corporate security control based on blocking a website to keep people from installing a binary.

Anyways, I'm just here to say, corporate security teams are definitely not OK with you doing a rogue Tailscale install, and that's as it should be.
> Which details in particular are you curious about?

In the linked Q&A video with Maisem, you spoke about buying books on Linux to make SSH work. Which books, if you don't mind me asking?
Angular got into Big Corporate, which ensures it'll last a while. Horrible thing.
It's interesting if you consider the time spent writing versus time spent reading. This post will take me less than a minute to write, you less than a minute to read, but perhaps five/ten people will read it - a 1:10 ratio.

Popular content will have a much larger ratio - if I am a popular writer I might spend a day or two on a fancy blog post like described above, but if 60,000 people spend 10 minutes reading it that's 600,000 minutes - 10,000 hours! Now spending a bit more time to make it more useful/enjoyable/readable seems worth it.
> Taxes are a relic of the long-gone physical money era. Vulgar taxation is a legacy technology that provides more waste than utility in the 21st century.

It isn't often I see really novel ideas on hacker news, but this is an interesting take. Will need to think about it more but definitely interesting to think about the best means of providing public goods etc and if the system we have does this.
Great post.

Now you got me thinking about one thing in particular.

Suppose we will have quite soon portable and discreet technology that can, through monitoring your BAC, or what have you, warn you that you're about to be overly drunk. It would stand to reason that for many folks out there who have An Alcohol Problem that technology like this could materially enhance their lives. Now that I think of this, something like this could even become the first practical widespread form of cybernetic enhancement, not that we don't already have plenty of awesome ones in the form of prostheses.

Just makes me wonder what kind of hurdles a company developing such a product would face.
> People just don't agree that Copilot has value

You can stop it there.

All the comments I've read complaining about the price were saying basically that. One even explicitly said that if it was cheaper he'd buy it for fun, but since it provided no value, he wouldn't... just to get a thread of people complaining that the price shouldn't change his opinion.
Awesome little anecdote, thanks for sharing. I learned about reverse engineering because of UO. I reverse engineered EasyUO's technique for running macros which involved code injection and shared it with the world. Long live T2A!
I was so afraid of losing my good equipment I never carried it. I would PVP in underwear, with GM made items and reagents and pots. That's it.

I liked how I could chop a body up and spread the pieces which is really fun when you are at war with your neighbor and you see their ghost standing over their dead body saying OOOoooOoo OooOOOO
Facebook groups and twitter has been probably the worst things to happen to preservation of our knowledge.

It's still producing a metered dose that's probably comparable to other doses from the same cart. I don't think anybody expects doses between carts/strains/batches to be consistent, because the pen would have to know the chemical makeup of each cartridge's contents to adjust itself in this way.
As a pathologist, good luck. The problem with early detection is getting enough signal. These liquid biopsies have historically worked for large occult tumors that are spilling a bunch of DNA. They won't work for in situ tumors, almost by definition. Maybe some really agro DCIS, but generally if the tumor hasn't broken across the basement membrane, you're going to have a hard time getting signal in the blood stream. Contradictory evidence is most welcome.
I can see where one can build upon that intuition. If one replaces “abstraction” with “indirection” it becomes apparent what is happening.

When programs are defined in terms of operational semantics, that is procedurally, it must still be reasoned about in some way if your goal is to write a program so simple there are obviously no errors.

Patterns of indirection are not abstractions. It’s a fine practice for controlling indirection in code! And highly effective. But it’s not what I mean by abstraction.

Abstraction enables new layers of semantics by completely encapsulating complexity. Think of function application in almost any procedural language that is compiled to some target machine language. The compiler has to generate a lot of code in the host language to manage memory segments, return pointers, etc. As the programmer using the language you don’t even think about it at all.

One doesn’t arrive at such an abstraction by writing a bunch of spaghetti code and encapsulating common patterns.

And that is often how one arrives at simple code. It’s not “simple” because it doesn’t require anyone to learn anything or work hard to understand it. It’s simple because once the abstraction is established and proven you’re free to think about bigger, more interesting ideas.
On the flip side, if you change metrics until you get one that says what you want, do your metrics really provide any value?

I think that too. It probably also fed some of the stock market, vc and crypto bubbles.
And grocery stores certainly aren’t buying fake olive oil, or selling garbagefish as fine fish, or buying cartel avocados, or fake honey, or…

Never would a bar sell you a counterfeit whisky!

Your idea of a slider is lame. Normally I would just ignore it, however I felt compelled to make a sweeping commentary on society and your inane comment was just the hook I needed.

> Ten years ago, let’s say fifteen to be safe, if you saw an essay titled “Consequences are Good, Actually,” you might naturally assume that it came from the political right. Conservatives, after all, believe in law and order, retributive justice, and the God of the Old Testament. But nowadays, it’s liberals who constantly call for consequences, liberals who sneer at the concept of forgiveness, liberals who stand for a Manichean worldview that permits no deviation from white-hat/black-hat morality. And so in that linked piece OG carceral feminist Jessica Valenti insists that the object of her ire deserves only hellfire, and this is quite in keeping with the contemporary progressive id in 2022. Valenti is reacting specifically to a New York magazine cover story about a teenager who shared nude photos of his girlfriend and the social consequences that followed for him and others. But she is reacting as she and her liberal peers react to everything: “someone has to burn.” She just does so in the vocabulary of a disapproving pre-K teacher.
“We need to value different competencies than publishing in high-impact journals,” she said. Community work, teaching, mentoring, activism and administrative work are undervalued. Yet, innovation in academia may lie in these areas. “

These areas are overvalued. No scientific innovation comes from activism and administrative work.

They are replacing measurable performance metrics with the equivalent of “are u already a part of the administrative bloatware? Great, you qualify.”

This is a biproduct of the academia bubble and it will correct. eventually.
It's not really CS, but alongside the books you have listed (I have most of those physically and as eBooks!) I absolutely adore "The Art of Electronics" as the Bible to electronics. It's definitely helped me out immensely.
No idea, but the signal:noise ratio is likely to make CERN look like a bargain.

I owe my entire career to UO.

I used to play a shard called Novus Opiate. It was the biggest early shard.

After it died I went on to run a couple of servers and teaching myself to code. Alphanine and Sacred.

When I wanted to drop out of school I wanted to do 3d animation to make a game like UO. But realised I have 0 talent in design but I love programming. So ended up doing that. Thankfully I never became a game dev tho. The stories scare me.
That worries me, actually. Are we leaving a large group of people behind? Have we written them off because they're not able to do "high value" work and yet our life expenses in the U.S. are such that they're not economically viable for doing the "low value" work, either? Is living on public assistance really the best option? Or working in the gig economy? I don't have answers to these questions but I do think about these things.

Comparing different versions of a document is separate from keeping track of its revisions (thus providing reproducible builds), and the fact that it is not a text file doesn't negate the utility of the latter.

For example, you can give tools like 'git diff' a custom command to run to compare certain files, such as a visual diff tool specific to a WYSIWYG document format. Even though existing source control tooling leans heavily towards text files, that doesn't mean they aren't still useful for binary files.

It’s still a tool though. If these AI tools simplified the work of sw engineers there would indeed be fewer of our ilk wielding these tools but a larger chunk of engineering would move towards maintaining and co-evolving these tools. I don’t really see an end to it while I do see an end to my own willingness to keep up with it.
The bill is out on GitHub but I will be darned if I can find it. Appreciate if anyone has the URL. Bloomberg has a story on it but I lack a subscription to read it. Disappointed that all the other stories do not mention GitHub, not even the Wall Street Journal which is a bit of a disappointment.
Depends on the industry and client. Some industries have a lot of consultants that don't write code but will tell you 80% is the minimum. Some contracts stipulate code coverage deliverables. Some platforms like Salesforce count lines of code covered and prevent deployments unless 75% and passing.

The goal was never "sell any given EV for as cheap as possible, with no regard to business sense", but to build a company that could end up mass producing normal consumer level EVs.

> The advantage is obvious. People who know and/or enjoy Python can get into web dev without having to fuss with a new language. It’s really that simple.

Wouldn’t it work for anything that a PCR test could be used for. Seems like a there could a useful subset.
Of course it doesn't. Only the actual auditing of the code could do that. Nobody in the world wants to audit code they are relying on every update to make sure that the developers have not added potential new security concerns that they would otherwise not be aware of.

There's more to backing up public and government records than a big hard drive and someone who can set up rsync.

Because they're government records, there's the very good chance that there are compliance/certification requirements, plus there's infrastructure you have to put in to make it auditable while mitigating the risk of a ransomware attack affecting backups, too.

Setting up total, compliant, and working backups for a small county can reasonably require a small headcount and some specialized long-term planning.

E: that's not to mention that in some lower-population, lower-income counties, $400 isn't trivial to spend. There are definitely places in the States where deciding whether to upgrade a single computer from 2006 for $800 is a long conversation.
Suggestions:

- It sounds like you’re micromanaging your team’s metrics at a rate that’s fractional to one contributor’s hourly cost even though you don’t understand what helps them to be productive. Don’t do that.

- You’re asking for a Show HN to eliminate its price tag and give you everything the poster finds valuable for free, and offer an entirely different product. I’m pretty sure you’re not the audience for this product.
Haha if you cast a spell and walked out of line of sight it caused the spell to fizzle but still gain experience.

So we would lure an npc to the house and set a macro to cast and walk 1 tile out of sight. Used regents but it was faster due to cancelling and the npc never died.

Likewise if you attacked an npc in a city but not hit. Then walk 2 screens away you could set an in game hotkey for attack which would trigger and cancel causing you to gain exp but not do anything.
Thank you for the feedback everyone. I really appreciate it. It did help. Had dinner and drinks with my COO last night. Worked everything out.
