A different framing can be revealing. For some years the state in the US with the lowest number of abortions per capita was Massachusetts where abortions are not only readily available but also essentially free. The big difference is that sex education and contraception are pervasively available. In the areas that support a ban on abortions sex education and contraception have limited availability. Instead people are supposed to abstain until they commit to a partner for procreation. Abstinence is unrealistic, so this results in youthful sexual experimentation starting families. There are effectively two different ways of living here with abortion being linked to sex education and contraception and how ideas about how families should be formed and pregnancies planned or not.
The median is also an average.
It seems we are essentially in agreement on how the documentation is meant to be read, which is that the points it makes about autofree are not meant to be statements of fact.
and "the gloves are off". If the entire government just spent 2 years justifying the coerced vaccination of the masses - all thought bodily autonomy thrown out for the greater good? Sure the Rightwingers are happy to play that game as well.

Well the odds of finding a civilization like ours would be astronomically low. So it probably would be interesting. Everything you find is likely to be either primitive or much more advanced. Ours is a very brief sweet spot of rapid tech acceleration
I’m not a biologist, but there’s one thing about this proposal that seems very odd to me: If the goal were to produce many haploid cells, select for some phenotypic trait, and repeat, then this would make sense. When one is trying to evolve some trait, growing a large number of organisms and letting them (or helping them) select for that trait makes sense. But in this proposal, the goal seems to be to find a input to a function on a computer that gets a good score. What’s the point of using actual cells?

For your readers it might be a good idea to include part 1 on your new blog - to provide some context.

"Common decency", much like "common sense", is just a projection of one's own values on to others.

I dislike telemetry and ad tracking and I avoid software that includes them whenever possible. I think they're against common decency but I know that others disagree and think both are perfectly acceptable.

We'd all like to believe that we share a definition of what "common decency" is but sadly we don't. It's why we resort to the law to settle disputes and why we need legal professionals to interpret that law.

What you're describing, misleading users or publishing malware, these are not things controlled by some notion of common decency or some personal moral code but either by statutory rights or criminal laws. e.g. in the UK with have the Computer Misuse Act to stop people adding things like time locks to software.

That's completely different to whether the source to an application is available and whether you can distribute modified versions of that source.
You and I appear to be understanding the OP in entirely different ways.

The value of a lawyer is not in understanding statutes. It is in understanding the system, and being able to make predictions based on that understanding.

From the article: >> Sure, lawyers are (sometimes) good communicators who are (sometimes) well-prepared, but the real value proposition they offer is prediction.

Prediction matters in M&A, it matters in estate plans, it matters in divorce litigation. How can you properly prepare a merger without anticipating the things that might go wrong? How can you negotiate a cost-effective divorce settlement if you have no idea how the case will go? How can you plan for, well, what happens after your death, if you can't predict how the financials will play out?
Bit unclear (the article wastes much space talking about goto), but I _think_ the author has re-invented Occam's PAR construct.

This isn't a good argument for centralization. Yes, obviously we need to meet in the same "place" for this to happen, but this "place" could just as well be an identifier, for instance a Matrix room. There is no need for the server architecture to be centralized.

Additionally, I don't find your example of in-place editing being much better than `git clone` + fix + `git push` to be very motivating. At best, that's an UX issue, not an inherent benefit of centralization.

The rest of your points actually stand and I agree with them, even when we ignore the misguided call for centralization.

Strange; I can subscribe to user rss feeds in Newsblur.

I'm guessing Newsblur somehow rotates through all the users' collective RSS feeds in some manner to not trip the rate limit, which might explain why new posts don't show up immediately.

(Which is fine for me as a user; most of the reddit RSS feeds I subscribe to, I don't need to see immediately!)

Arguing over everyone’s favorite equipment without a particular application and set of goals in mind is silly. It’s like a formula one driver and a truck driver arguing over which vehicle is best. There’s no “benefits” to one over the other. They have different characteristics which make them suitable for different applications.

I have a PC on my desk with a GPU which already comes with the largest air cooler that will fit on it. I wanted to make to it quieter. Water cooling accomplished that.

I have servers in a closet where I don’t care about noise and I don’t want to maintain them. I use air coolers there.

Use the right tool to accomplish the goals you want to accomplish.

Svelte does wonders to code size, indeed.

But does it solve the problem of growing state which never gets GC'd when components which used to use it are gone? Does it solve the problem of only redrawing the required minimum (beside the normal VDOM approach)?

I'm asking as someone not knowledgeable enough about Svelte.
This is a great quote. I might have to steal this.

Agree completely, React Query has made it so much easier to build any kind of app that deals with server state, stuff that would have been extremely challenging to write in the past is now just a couple of lines and works better than before.

I personally like using Jotai (if I just want a better version of React Context) or Zustand (if I need a bit more than that) for “client state” alongside React Query, but I’ve also built projects where I didn’t need a client state management solution at all.
It depends how you cash out "compatible."

Speculative metaphysical theories are compatible with science because they are unprovable and, if true, "override" science as the true cause of the laws of nature and the world. However, this is trivial and uninteresting because we don't have good reasons to take any of these speculative theories seriously in the first place.

Insofar as supernatural/mystical beliefs correspond to testable claims about the world, these beliefs are clearly incompatible with science. First, they are not backed by evidence. Second, the combined efforts of anthropology, history, and neuroscience have built a compelling model of how people come to believe such things.
Server-side templating died for this.
This is why I'm building Joystick: https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick.

It riffs on the old, simple APIs of React but uses pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript w/o any trickery (I'm also hardcore about not changing the component API so WYSIWYG).

The bonus is that it's a part of a full-stack framework (the UI framework has a Node.js counterpart), so wiring up a full app is near-effortless.
I believe that’s what the author of Homebrew is trying to do with tea: https://tea.xyz/
One issue I have: are installed packages really the only criterium?

I was dreaming about a system where the OS and runtimes automatically track what is used and how often / for how much CPU cycles maybe?

And then everybody could dedicate a certain budget for example each month, which then would automatically distributed amongst all apps, packages and linked libraries, from the kernel functions at the bottom, through whichever libc‘s etc are used, up the packages layer, Webservers and/or gui stack etc.

But of course that’d still leave lots of open questions:

a) people could try to habe the system by using up more resources than needed for example.

b) what’s the „value“ of a piece of code run? Who decides what is how valuable?! Maybe someone implemented something really clever, really important, but it doesn’t actually use a lot of resources… other glue code could run a lot but not be especially Hard to implement.

So I think this one is a tough one to do correctly, but Id like to see something in this direction getting traction.

I think the major issue is gonna be to get real inertia going & get people to allocate appropriate funds.

This reminds me of the brave browser and distributing funds along the news sources you actually consume.

I really think this could be amazing, even for society as a whole, with people finally being paid for good work they are putting in and not only the ones who are good at marketing & triggering the masses.

But it seems to be a real hard problem to solve in a good way.

They key here is that "the perimeter" tends to be where the less-processed (and more perishable) foods are.

Exceptions which are internal, as you note: spices, oils, coffee (and/or tea). I'd add:

- Frozen fruits and vegetables, particularly if you want to buy bulk and reduce spoilage. Rapidly-frozen foods can be higher in nutrition than "fresh", most notably vitamin C, which degrades relatively rapidly.

- Bulk grains, legumes, and nuts. Other baking supplies as well, which are typically on interior aisles.

- Tinned goods, including fish. Prepared soup stocks. Arguments for/against canned goods exist. There are long-shelf-life goods which make much preparation easier or provide for easy and healthier snacks.

I too can spend years without walking down a crisps / snacks aisle.

Among foods which may seem healthy but often aren't: many breakfast cereals (overly-processed, low-fibre, high-sugar), numerous freshly-baked goods, sweetened yoghurts (plain is generally fine), fruit juice (liquid sugar --- eat whole / frozen fruit instead), many "diet foods" (often trading fat for sugar, overly processed, and overpriced to boot --- see Polan's basic dictum).

I'm not saying "never buy / eat these". But do so rarely, as special occasions, and do so consciously. For the most part, I don't miss such ... food-shaped products ... at all, the few I do sample occasionally I appreciate when I do.

Oh my. What is this ecosystem where the maintainers are downvoted for explaining the current recommendations for those using their library?
I've often found those that complain about these buzzwords are the people who do not actually do any frontend engineering. There are buzzwords in every language and every library. It's not an indictment of complexity (which exists outside of any one language or library), it is simply the terms of the trade of that particular technology.

> The problem is that companies try to monetize RSS, and the only way of doing so is to provide features that RSS can't offer.

I don't know if I agree; I pay Newsblur a yearly fee because it's worth it to me having a centralized web-app that I don't have to self-host (and consequently, don't have to worry about paying for, or hitting rate limits, etc.) with a nice UI and a few features like sorting by folder.

Granted, I have no idea how much it costs to run Newsblur; I certainly hope they're at least breaking even. I also don't know if I'm a typical-enough user.

> Good lawyers can predict what the judge will do, and can write and say things to maximise the odds of the judge doing what you want him to do.

And before you go to court, good lawyers and legal advisers look at a case also from the angle of what a judge would ultimately consider. So even if there's no judge around and nobody plans to have a judge around to solve the problem at hand, there's always the 'shadow of the law'.

> Law is an impressionistic business, much less scientific than macroeconomics or inflation management, more akin to craft than science.

When I went to law school, one of the professors in the first year told us "law is a prescriptive science, not a descriptive science". That was the moment I could not take it seriously anymore, or the moment from when on I had to take it more seriously. Whatever 'serious' might mean in this case. I still don't have a final answer for myself.

According to the article, Feedly no longer upholds the basic promise of an RSS feed reader: to allow the user to curate a list of RSS feeds and follow them.

From the article:

> For example, I recently wanted to add an RSS feed for a Reddit user, but it was not possible in Feedly. In order to do so, I had to connect to Reddit with my Reddit user, i.e., allow Feedly to access my data. No way, no thanks.

If an RSS feed reader makes it "not possible" to import certain RSS feeds because the app instead wants to use proprietary APIs for those feeds, than the RSS feed reader no longer "does what you expect it do and does it well".

At this point the app is fundamentally broken by design and I too would migrate away from such an app.

From school itself, I was actively involved in software development, with my first public application being released in 2012. In 2016, during two months internship, I developed a web app to create geofences over Google maps and send alerts when breached. After college as a CS graduate, I started as an intern in 2017 and eventually progressed upwards to SDE1 and then SDE2 by 2018. Over time within different projects, I have worked with AWS S3, SQS, DDB, Firehose, ElasticSearch, StepFunctions, Lambdas, API Gateway, CloudFront, and Route53, EC2, ECS, and frameworks like – AngularJS, ReactJS, FabricJS, SpringMVC. Over the past two years, I have tried to involve myself in every engineering aspect that a programmer might not usually find himself in. I got into hardware by dissembling and repairing my old 2014 college laptop, installing Hackintosh understanding Apple kexts, learned about networking, Linux iptables and created wireguard exit rPi node for accessing Indian sites from the US, built Kali Nethunter for Nexus 5, repaired PCB for household washing machine, did freelancing for family-network clients, installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel and have been trying out different ideas myself that might turn into a startup.

Please mention HN while connecting with me.
This is definitely part of their fall. Everyone -- from producers to players -- _thought_ they needed 3D. But it's poorly suited to adventure games. Shadow of the Templars is an excellent example of this: new enough not to be pixel art; old enough not to be 3D. Perfect.

Even the Monkey Island games turned 3D with the fourth installment. Having played through them all (again!) over lockdown, it's that game, Escape from Monkey Island, which now looks and plays the worst.
It makes me smile that elsewhere in this thread there's people saying "I've been using <library> and state management is now super easy." when you know in two months people will be saying that library is over-engineered and someone will suggest to try the new panacea that will solve all of your problems, for real this time.

Such is the hype cycle of frontend development.
I like the contrast between descriptive vs generative here. Really puts this into context. If you want to understand the contribution of any particular allele PGS is reasonable. But using PGS to generate a phenotype violates so many assumptions.

All that can easily be bullshitted a hundred times easier than any leetcode-style question. I am not saying "just use technical questions" but you are extremely naive as a interviewer if you dont think candidates will MASSIVELY overstate the importance and magnitude of their accomplishments. Hell, politicians do it all the time, we can notice that they are lying and they still do it. My experience indicates the better you are at this (there is a grayzone between outright lying and exaggerating) the better you will do, specially in big organizations when you can "hide" behind lawyers of bureaucracy and other employees.
Yup, and the most common usage is product ratings on Amazon, which I find a complete waste of time, even before they became corrupted by massive rating-spamming. The metric I find useful is the ratio of negative (1-2 star) reviews to positive, in the product category (some categories seem to have higher usage failure rates, or POd users or something).

The average is a waste of time
Shufflz is an implementation of the 15 puzzle game using Svelte and Tailwind CSS in under 100 lines of code.

Yes! An explicit state machine is my desire for the UI development since the Delphi days of 1990s. It makes things so much more observable and sane.

Redux nudges you to build that state machine by hand, in the form of the reducers folder, around the centralized state. While elucidating, it's still a lot of boilerplate (which you can sort of factor out), and it's still not one clearly laid out entity.
