I mean, I've noticed most science journalism is bad, but this one made me feel like I was having a stroke.

And the perspective of positions on the core and surface moving relative to each other in some cylindrical coordinates may well be what the article meant, but they sure didn't make it clear, and it's ultimately ill-defined: the correct unit for that change is still an angle. A particular linear distance can only accurately describe it given a particular latitude, which is expressed in, guess what, an angle. This is of course an overly technical way if explaining how the "moving" terminology just obfuscates a pretty simple and accessible underlying concept. They went out of their way to make it less clear.
We technically do not know,

Too many people preferred emails. I get several hundred a day because every tool and most coworkers are just constantly giving you updates.

It's great because we can explore a space wider. I'm building a new platform, and im curious to check out anything in this space.
Wow. As someone working on developing a no/low-code solution, that was an insightful comment to read, thank you. I can see your words are based on personal experience.

I like that you acknowledge the potential issues and weaknesses of the approach, but lean hard on the value it can offer. I agree with that too, from my own experience seeing how the system I'm building, imperfect in various ways, is valued by a growing userbase in the real world.

I especially relate to the strange niches where such solutions can be found to be powerfully practical, solving all kinds of needs for the end user (who are often businesses using such tools internally). People have remarked on how Excel spreadsheets have been ab/used to great lengths, providing tangible benefits as well as possible nightmares.

> ..In the real world 99% of actually used, useful programs, are boring re-hashes or CRUD, APIs, Web Services, UIs, and so on. That's the stuff people pay for which keeps the lights on.

Personally I feel it's 80/20, or less still - but I do believe no/low-code solutions are pushing the threshold described in the article, where they're better/simpler/easier to use and solve user needs, without going into the world of code. I think it's still an exploratory field, finding what patterns work best, the right primitives for people to work on a higher level of abstraction than code.
>when we don't have enough clean energy to go around,

so you are telling me renewables can't even handle 0.5% increase in demand?

What a dead end technology. Can't wait until we upgrade to nuclear instead.
Is there any data that backs the claim that the US is "protecting" the world's seas? Like a list of incidents where the US navy intervened to protect vs the times other countries intervened?

Without that I suspect "protect" really means "control" the seas. And if that's true - why would one country losing control of the sea mean the end of the world? Also not convinced that that automatically implies any sort of instabillity.
Hope they win.

"I find it very concerning that the richest man in the world considers it 'trivial' that his company is blatantly violating federal labor law [enacted] to protect workers," the plaintiffs' attorney, Shannon Liss-Riordan, told WRAL TechWire.

Finally!!! The only other comment I've seen mentioning brython, heck I have even written WebComponents using the thing, how comes almost no one has cross paths with it... I guess in part JS won the web battle because (in resignation) most people just accepted (as some others have said in their comments that) it was the only choice... of course brython transpiles to JS yet it has exactly that spirit of "lets make things fun again"
I love the poems of the Australian poet TT O, Initially it’s impenetrable, but once you start reading it out loud you hear in the phonetic smash of letters, the voices of inner city Melbourne in the decades between ww2 and gentrification, indigenous and immigrant voices speaking an English they’ve picked from the people around them who are often using it as a second or third language.

If it’s not a time and place you remember, I’m not sure what you’ll hear when you read his poems, maybe it’s not such an obstacle, there are other places where people lived a similar experience, but for me I have to dwell on it until I hear the sounds, and then it fills we with this vivid longing for a time and place we can never go back to, a place that now exists only as a working class patina over luxury dining and real estate

The rationale that is usually given to LPs to make them go along is that the time to exit is not right, but the one fund that currently owns the interest is getting long in the tooth, so they need to move the interest to the newer vintage year fund. They spin it as, we thought it was a good investment before, and we think it is an even better investment now, so we want to hold onto it. But we still need to wind down the old fund.

It's a nightmare from a valuation standpoint, because while many LPs may well be invested in both funds, making it a wash, some are not. The LPs that invest in both funds sign a check to fund the investment in the new fund, and then get the money back as the older vintage is winding down. The investment just essentially gets rolled forward. The investors who are only in the new fund are cashing out the previous investors, so this is much more of a concern. But they are new and still usually riding the feeling of wow, they let me invest in this awesome fund. PE firms are really good at creating an aura of exclusivity and luxury.

A rolling loan gathers no loss. So long as the music keeps playing, valuations can be whatever number you can get your auditor to agree to. Nice dinners and event tickets for your audit partner can help with that.
>The business's goal is to minimize theft of their products. Society's goal is to prevent theft. It seems like those goals are in alignment with someone in loss prevention who enjoys the thrill of successfully catching shoplifters.

"Minimizing theft" is not the same thing as "catching shoplifters". An ideal security job from the perspective of the business/society is boring. An ideal security job from the perspective of an adrenaline seeker is exciting. This conflicting incentives can lead to that security person creating excitement in situations where none should exist.

Clojure is an excellent language for high productivity within small teams but is a very rough beginner experience. The language itself is elegant and a joy to use, but there are plenty of sharp edges in getting a productive developer environment working and interpreting obtuse stack traces.

As an aside, Julia's MacroTools.jl defines pre- and post- code walking in four lines:

walk(x, inner, outer) = outer(x)
walk(x::Expr, inner, outer) = outer(Expr(x.head, map(inner, x.args)...))

postwalk(f, x) = walk(x, x -> postwalk(f, x), f)
prewalk(f, x) = walk(f(x), x -> prewalk(f, x), identity)

It's dead simple and obvious in retrospect, but I don't think I would have ever thought of that! I've always wondered if there's a lineage to this set of definitions. Does anyone know?
Do I get this right?

You have a rather pessimistic view of the world that leads you to believe that while such tax systems might be possible they allegedly haven't ever been observed in the real world. So you go on to infer that what hasn't been observed is not possible.

I think it's a stretch to draw a parallel here to the unyielding character of physical laws.

I assume the world has seen reasonable tax systems in the past but since politics/science/tech/societies/culture is constantly evolving this "state" was not stable.
That it wasn't, doesn't prove it's not possible.
Future societies with more knowledge on the whole subject (of creating beneficial equilibria in society) might find ways to keep desirable states over long periods of time.

I'm always amazed at such comments that trivialise the challenges of fighting spam and SEO while being the most dominant search engine by far (which means spam and SEO targets you by far).

If it is so easy, why don't you build a dominant search engine that manages to complete avoid the "totally easy" spam you talk about?

If perhaps, you have extensive experience in the anti-spam section of a dominant search engine (or some similar position), I'd give your comment more weight. Do you have such experience?
It allows you to do this:

Is it possible that you are "laggards" as described in the seminal book "Chrossing the Chasm"?

Laggards: Laggards are consumers who avoid change and do not adopt new technologies until all traditional alternatives are no longer available. The group is mostly concerned with reliability, low cost, and easy to use.

As I remember the premise, vendors squeeze profit out of the earlier adopters, in particular the early majority and the late majority. By the time the laggards are buying, the vendor has lost interest in the product and all of the profit has already been extracted. Therefore they don't give a shit about you and are likely to discontinue the product or provide terrible support.

Ruby and Python are incredibly similar in raw functionality, but extremely different in culture. e.g. Both languages allow monkey-patching, while one community thinks it is a great productivity boost making it easy to build cool language tricks, while the other considers it an absolute last resort to be avoided in almost every situation.

I think the key point here is that Python prioritized making native add-ons easy, and so it actually developed an ecosystem. The very second sentence on Ruby's C API that is linked above says "the API is huge and largely undocumented."
Those interactions moved to discord (and telegram, although that's second-hand info).

I fully understand what you describe, and once I realized the truly abysmal return on time spent I cut my time on public social media by ~100x. It's just not worth it beyond an occasional comment.
China's policies are always a nice reminder to my authoritarian side why authoritarianism is not a good idea in general. For example I feel rather strongly that "inducing irrational consumption" should be banned, but then China reminds me that any institution with the power to ban that will also ban things "distorting traditional Chinese culture".
It only messes with /etc/resolv.conf if you did `--accept-dns` and don't have systemd-resolved, which nowadays is much more common.

Linux DNS is a clusterfun: https://tailscale.com/blog/sisyphean-dns-client-linux/

But, yeah, without systemd-resolved Linux DNS is a fight for the death between uncooperating processes. NetworkManager is okay but there are a dozen buggy variants in the wild we have to work around.

Linux is by far the worst platform for DNS config.

I totally recommend systemd-resolved. It's the only thing that does DNS well on Linux.
If that’s what you are doing then most of how you write python can be done in javascript. The languages are not too different except for superficial syntax stuff. You also inherit the problems that come with compiling and also in general the lack of web-oriented packages that javascript offers.
Yep, this just feels like something is afoot that we'll never be aware of. By some accounts in this very HN post, Juul was operating wildly until Altria (phillip morris) bought a stake. If this does happen, the next likely benefactor would be the Vuse vape that is operated by RJ Reynolds (the 2nd place big tobacco company). The entire thing is so frustrating.
I remember reading, a long time ago, that some fashion trend-follower said that it was impossible to determine what was cool soon enough to profit from it. By the time you figure it out, it's gone.

But it IS possible to figure out who is cool: you can find the people who regularly jump on trends before anyone else, and see what they buy.

But this! This is almost as good: you can figure who is NOT cool.

I have fond memories of this game. I was a thief and would sit in front of the bank, steal a bunch of gold from some poor player, and quickly deposit it into the bank BEFORE the guard could kill me. When they searched my body they found nothing.

Cool, I'll check it out. It is an extra hop, but my fdroid termux install has been blown away (along with my ssh key) several times by the play store version. So now I save my key on my pi instead. I did turn off updates from play store for termux so hopefully it doesn't overwrite termux again.

Agreed. Even with the higher level languages that compile to JS you still need to know JS, but you also get the benefit of the stricter languages.
>I'm not/haven't been a smoker, but appreciate the anecdotal reassurance that the urge to smoke doesn't have to be something that lingers with people who quit.

Everyone is different. Some former smokers get to the point where they practically hate cigarette smoke.

For me, it's been five years since I quit. I still love it. If I'm in close proximity with the stuff, I get "satisfied" very quickly and the appeal wears off for hours or days. I'll have very weak cravings. None of those cravings are great enough that I have ever felt it's worth crossing that line. As much as I miss smoking — and I absolutely loved smoking — I prefer not being a smoker.
Lenovo has to be saving like $5-10 on the BOM to keep shipping such terrible screens.

I’m optimistic about the long term future of these chips but these laptops aren’t it. Slow, dim, expensive. It’s hard to swallow. I don’t find a built in wireless modem does anything but save a few seconds tethering while adding a large recurring expense. At about $1000 they would have broad appeal… at $1300 this is a very niche product.

If you’ve reached the size of being a public company, lawsuits are a Tuesday. If the flavor of the frivolous is driving executives and investors decision making, then it’s a cultural choice.

> Oh come on, a lot of good companies stay private bc the SEC makes it a pain in the ass (and expensive) to be public. And it's making it worse with stupid shit like ESG reporting or SOX compliance they just keep adding.

It does make it a pain but it also increases the trust investment has in your company to not do things like trade assets between two vehicles you control with no proof that it’s not to your benefit

Generally agree that these aren’t victims though. To borrow a term from Eve, it seems like they decide to venture into null sec space and are surprised they could get hurt
Ok so I also picked BeOS and that was my last bad tech pick. I picked ruby a bit before it utterly exploded, then Julia in 2014, then picked elixir in 2016. I also picked zig two years ago (I'm not a promiscuous language astronaut, these are the only languages I use that I don't have to like JS or python). I knew that a car hailing app would be the next big thing in 2009, and I knew Ben awad and Simone giertz before they got huge....

I just wish I could figure out how to monetize my prescience

The next gen frameworks like Svelte or SolidJS are much easier to use, still more powerful and way faster. I have no clue why people keep using the old ones. The argument that the old ones have larger ecosystems is true but not appropriate as integration of pure JS libs is very easy with both Svelte and SolidJS.

I especially recommend people looking into SolidJS: https://www.solidjs.com/

optimistically, 1KW of solar on the roof will yield 35kw per week which will just about charge a 700lb leaf battery. I know my truck will go about 2 miles on only electric up to 20mph even with a 3000lb trailer at about 0.5 miles (1kw battery, 35kw motor) before the gas kicks in.
My biggest issue with Github code reviews is how broken the "Changes requested" state is. If I request changes, there's no easy way to see that changes have been addressed and are clear for me to look at again.

I end up using open unresolved comments as the basis for changes requested now. It's hard to filter for those though.

This is not cheap but not also not insane.

As comparison, the non-insured price of things like MRI and CT scans can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.

Man, based on how often Alexa misunderstands me or tries to upsell me on some feature after I get what I want from it, mine is going to sound really pissed off.

I also can’t imagine speaking to my Grandma/pa the way I speak to Alexa either, so that’s food for thought.

Jests aside, this is already possible with ML and a large enough data set. There’s nothing state of the art to see here, right? Just implementing existing tech at Enterprise scale/telling the masses?

It really seems to depend on the point of view. If you're already using AWS seriously, your hosts will have the default agent anyway, IAM is already managed in a reasonable way (iamy, tf or similar), etc. so the setup is not that hard. I'm not sure what you mean by information from the AWS console - it's usable in the terminal.
