I'm living this right now.

It's why when I have greenfield I do vanilla web components, with a little lit-html sprinkled in for fast rendering.

I've seen so many developers complain about how complex vanilla web components are, and they'll turn around and do React / Vue / Angular and Redux or (shudder) rxjs, etc...

I just don't get it.

Like, if you need reactivity... Stick a render call into the setter of a plain old property.

If you don't, use a variable.

The whole computed() thing with Vue makes things so complex... I have to deal with a huge rabbit hole of that stuff all the time.

I think to myself... I could just use a property, and I wouldn't need a whole painful build step, type definitions, framework version specific DSLs, massive complex source maps that don't work, Rube Goldberg state machines, crazy pseudo DOM elements that aren't really DOM elements, unless they are, or a ref to something magic that might end up being a DOM element someday, obscure dependency injection cruft that's done way better by just using dynamic imports...

I remember when I couldn't wait for Proxy to be widely supported by browsers.

Now I'd do anything to be able to shove that toothpaste back into the tube.

I don't know.

I don't see any of this providing any value.

I feel like the emperor has no clothes, but everyone else thinks he's wearing Armani.
There’s also the question of whether you should take responsibility for something that is not your responsibility, unless it es in fact YOU that tied them to the tracks.
I disagree with how you’re assessing the magnitude of the sins here. I don’t think the problem really changes at all when you introduce religion to it. There’s theistic arguments in each direction of this problem, and much like with the non-theistic arguments, you won’t find any of them to be conclusively correct.
People also buy "mileage improvers" for their cars that are just a set of blinking lights that attach to to the OBD bus.

price discrimination is good!

For the rest of it, banning porn is probably a losing battle, but surely we can make fraud illegal, like passing yourself off as someone else.

For the rest of the what-ifs, do nothing, or call the police. I don't think pornographers should have a special duty to act over a shopkeeper or bus driver.
Thanks. Almost felt guilty for a second there.

It's a mistake to think there is a general "HN sentiment"

In general my view is "piracy bad, working around geo-blocks ok".

Interestingly this roughly reflects the view of regulators in my jurisdiction[1]:

> The Productivity Commission (PC) in December 2016 recommended that the Government make it easier for consumers to access legitimate copyright-protected content by:

> amending the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) to make clear that the circumvention of geo-blocking technology by consumers is not an infringement of copyright; and

> avoiding international obligations that would prevent or ban consumers from circumventing geo-blocking technology.

> the ACCC supported the PC’s recommendation,

It's not so much that it's risky, it's that they'd have to spend a lot of money on the compliance position to tell them it's not and ... wait yeah, the bonds are a better idea in every way.

Westworld was good for exactly one season. I stopped watching halfway through the first episode of the second because they decided they needed to take a regular woman character and turn her into a “boss”.
Sorry, but wasn't taking it at face value just cause it was used as a data point only at the time.

And not to be that person; but proof please.

I really do want a comprehensive list if possible of which charities are actually worthy of even being allowed to keep existing on this planet.
That’s the eternal question :-)

Allow me a dodge: I think that I’d probably press the button, but that it’s strictly wrong for me to do so. Chalk it up to weakness.
GiveWell is a research platform for finding good charities. I referenced them in my original comment.
It’s possible to prime it to take different personas.

If you start with a setup like “a conservation with a disagreeable chatbot” and give an example of some unfriendly back and forth it can pick it up and be unfriendly.

The recent case of the “sentient bot” at Google was apparently primed to be agreeable.
Yup, it's by far the most disconcerting thing about the whole site to me, well above any of the trolley problems.

Con? Interesting word choice there.

I absolutely agree, and I don't even fault Apple for trying to stop their shenanigans. I just want Apple to lose for entirely unrelated reasons from Epic's own nonsense.

Related note: Facebook's platform fees in their little VR chat thing[0] are actually way worse than Apple's.

As far as I can tell or care, most tech companies that have anything resembling a platform inevitably try to suck the life out of it and kill it. Apple is unique in that they've carefully calculated and balanced how much money they can extract out of developers, but they're still playing the same digital warlord game that I would much rather do without.

you're making a point here and the counterpoint is that building good apps with bad tools requires extra effort that costs money that the business owners don't have because the market won't support it (ie nobody is willing to pay more for higher quality stuff - you need to figure out how to make high quality easier)
Counterpoint: young people are spending more time searching within apps like TikTok/IG/Twitter, and not using Google at all
It much harder to stick to routine without any short term rewards. Human brain priortizes short term rewards. Logically it makes sense to me that good habits will give fruitful results over long term (like learn french everyday over two years) but in short term i need something to keep me motivated (like streak)
Please no YouTube tier comments.
They’re capped at 80 hours per week, more or less. Most residents go over, regularly. But a single report of a work hours violations is a pretty serious deal for a residency program, so that alone means things are better than they used to be. On the other hand, programs tend to use everything from coercion to collective punishment to prevent these reports from being filed. In practice, this seems to work out as residents tolerating a certain amount of extra hours, as a matter of culture (this varies by institution and by specialty), but it doesn’t seem to be as bad as the old days. Just my limited perspective as a partner to a surgical resident.
Cool! I've never seen this kind of offering before.

> Instead there’s a canonical master repository (on GitHub) everyone pulls from/pushes to.

The company I work for has internal forks/clones of many projects hosted on GitHub.

I routinely interact with at least four different clones of a project: the upstream one on GitHub; the local one on my machine; my personal clone on GitHub for upstream contributions; and the company-internal clone hosted on some company-internal server.

So yes, we are using git in a decentralized fashion.
This is so wonderfully awesome, do you have any photos? Preferably of you standing with the computers!?
Not the OP but this is pretty much a no-brainer: over your life, do you pay more in taxes or in speeding tickets?

Now think about it that way: that car you bought, in which way did you buying that car also produce revenue for the state? Right, even more taxes. The state might also have already invested into your life, e.g. in the form of public education. And we are not speaking about health system, damages to streets and infrastructure, firefighters having to clear the road, firefighters having to go to therapy to deal with the trauma of the sight you gave them etc.

It makes zero sense for the state to pick a few speeding tickets over what is a chain of bad (potentially life-long) cost.
That completely changes the question because it gives you obvious deniability, whereas the lever probably does not. Especially if witnessed.

That matters legally (accidental death) versus intent (mens rea, murder).

It also matters socially, because you can deny that you made any choice even though you may have chosen (assuming you only do it once). You can even deny it to yourself.

It does beg the question: who set the trolley up to kill people, and why did you happen to be standing on the trigger?

I don't think it's supposed to apply immediately and directly to real life. But it's supposed to use moral intuition to highlight the balance of various philosophical frameworks (mostly consequentialism vs deontologicalism).

One common real-life debate where these moral trade-offs often comes up in real life is voting choices in our first past the post system.

A consequentialist might say that you should vote for the lesser of two evils that has a serious prospect of winning. That, while they might not be someone you support in the abstract, in the interest of harm mitigation you might give them your vote to deny victory to the greater of two evils.

Whereas a deontologicalist might say that voting for a candidate that you actively dislike and consider evil is a harm in and of itself, and that you should not cast a vote for someone you wouldn't want to see in office. Even if that means the greater of the evils ends up winning.

When I was younger and struggling with this question, the trolly problem was informative to me, and has generally lead me to a harm reduction strategy when it comes to voting (while also advocating for a reform of the voting system).
Sadly, this take misses so much about Mac native software, things that many people just do not know are possible.

- accessibility built in which benefits everyone

- native application scripting

- consistent keyboard shortcuts, including focus ring movement

- ability to App Nap / fast system shutdown

- consistent retina/DPI behavior across display drags

I've been developing Mac native software for 20 years now and I'm still wowed by some of the things that come with the toolkit for free.
> At work you may not have that choice,

If you cannot switch the distro, then you deal with it. That's the tyranny of not using Linux-From-Scratch. But that's always been the case; the distro maintainer make the decision what to package and what not. It's not different with the service manager systemd.

> since all the most-used (so, best supported) distros are deep into systemd

Ever wondered why? Because it is vastly more simple an implementation target than writing bash scripts. It's more easily tested in isolation and the documentation is outstanding.

> no-one is upset with any other init system

Oh, I remember the heat and hate that Ubuntu got when they switched to Upstart. The reason that systemd gets all the rage is because it is the largest target with the most innovation. People always get mad when things change. People *hate* change.

Pulseaudio had to plow the way and thus got all the heat for exposing tons of bugs in the alsa kernel drivers. And what else is there besides pulseaudio? PipeWire? This is the successor to pulseaudio, the next iteration.

No thank you, I don’t want the government breaking up big companies because they are the only ones with enough of a bankroll for moonshots. Unless they’re literal monopolies of course.
Yeah it says that for everyone.

The trolley situation is just meant to frame the "you have to choose" type decision without starting back and forth "whatabouts" that avoid looking into the actual question like "I simply wouldn't get into such a situation" or similar.

It's impossible to make some scenario 100% of people will find bulletproof so people just use the trolley scenario to convey the concept the question is about the balance of the decision not how the need for the decision came about.

I work in communication science and I know some folks who would be interested to use this for research. If you have the bandwidth, ping me at p@atrifle.net and I can pass the data on. Regarding hosting, I probably can't offer that because public institutions are typically kind of averse to hosting data for everyone.

I pulled the lever. It said "eternity" and I couldn't possibly condemn the passengers to eternal life. Maybe it's because I read The Eyes of Heisenberg by Frank Herbert [0]

It's not that unrealistic. Imagine driving a car and a kid runs onto the street. You can swerve onto the sidewalk but there are people walking there you'd hit. The question if you'd take action to save someone to (potentially) kill someone else is interesting. And it has been discussed in the context of self driving vehicles.

But from all I remember, the outcome always was that an AI should never actively make a decision to sacrifice someone. And that's also how I view the trolley problem. Actively making a decision feels worse for me, even if fewer people die in the end.

Well, once the event hits the news and it comes out that you sacrificed your saving to save some people, then it should be easy to set up a gofundme and recoup the costs, at least if you're like me and your life savings are paltry. You may even profit!
Do you have any links to the articles that you are referring to?
My guess is work safety regulations. There are regulations that your desk is big enough, that your chair can be moved and has at least five wheels so that it stands stable. There are also regulations that you need enough (natural) light, which includes that your table needs a light colour. I guess that this was over interpreted into also computers being light colour.

A rather hilarious example is asking if they are against bestiality. Pretty much everyone is.

Asking why in more liberal circles gets you an answer along the lines of "it hurts the animals" a lot of the time.

Then asking if it hurts animals more than eating them usually results in a ban.
> it can take actual minutes to find out where to place a dependency in a simple tree with npm. God, why ?

Same here. But then I remembered that I contribute to climate change, so I apparently don't value lives in the future as much and decided accordingly.
If you open a market in the city, prevent any others from opening a market in the city, force all sellers to pay 10-30% to you, force all product makers to comply to your dictates about what can be sold or get kicked out then it's an effective and abusive monopoly.

Thankfully the EU in their wisdom has decided that Apple has abused their dominant position and we don't need to agree with your definition.

Just a concerned user. Wrong. All websites will work in Chrome only, with whatever features Chrome has added. One Browser for all. All apps that feed on user data will move from under App Store to sideload/alt stores, to escape Apple privacy restrictions. To start with.
From the article:

"Tesla's treatment of Black employees was previously highlighted in a federal lawsuit filed by former employee Owen Diaz, who was awarded $137 million by a jury. After the jury trial, a federal judge rejected Tesla's claim that it is not liable for the "disturbing" racist abuse Diaz suffered but reduced the award to $15 million."

Can I use this to create a kvm vm with part of my GPU to run 3D accelerated things?
consider this alternative.

Split it into parts. Create a torrent file for each part. Get a private (home) server in the US and seed it, e.g. I have 1Gb upstream and would happily donate that to it 12 hours a day. Then come back to HN and other places with a website pointing to the torrent files, asking for more people to seed it. Also, ask seeders to store mirrors and put them wherever they can. 6Tb is not that much.

If you haven’t lived in either place, it’s difficult to understand. Capitalism abounds in both, but is expressed in very different ways in each place. The cultures are just wildly different. As a native Californian, I find Florida’s culture to be smarmy and tasteless, with people shamelessly flaunting designer labels and consuming conspicuously. Being seen is super important to a lot of Floridians. (It also goes a long way to explain why Donald Trump enjoys living there; he fits right in.)

Southern California (as influenced by Hollywood) has a bit of this problem too, but it’s far less acute by my observation.
Isn’t the trolly also reducing carbon emissions by killing so many people? With enough of these questions, it will be able to reduce the world’s population to zero, at which point there should be no carbon emissions from humans.

I think it's never right to pull the lever, unless there aren't any humans on the other track. I'd sacrifice an animal or objects, but people should never be sacrificed for other people, unless they actively choose to.
I think they need to be more smooth in order to look natural, so I would try with some basic easeInOut or easeOut instead of the jumpy movement and then go from there.
In my opinion interaction animations should be really fast, otherwise they slow down some users.

About video,

MEGA.nz offers e.g. an 8TB storage tier for a reasonable price. I'm not bringing them up because of their security+privacy concept –which may suit you– but because of their take on how you can put the material to work (and do work) while hosted with them.

HTML embed videos from storage into your web content and they'll be decrypted on the fly as their watched. Link sharing for selected videos for discretionary views or downloads by receiving users, and of course team member co-op and granular access to said materials.

For starters though, prioritize getting material sent and backed up in relative safety before thinking about functionality. A simple store might fulfill your requirements in the end.

Feel free to drop me an email.
This was a very long, very interesting article. I learned a bit from it.

Two of my uncles are fraternal twins involved in a long-term twin study. They just traveled to the east coast for their periodic study updates a month or two ago. I don't know what may have been learned from tracking them through the years but I know they have enjoyed the opportunity to participate.

Handedness mentioned in the article was also interesting since I have siblings who are left-handed and my son and I are ambidextrous in many things. I worked with a man who could close his eyes and write his name in cursive with each hand simultaneously with the left hand signature being a mirror image of the right hand signature. Pretty spectacular.

Other odd things mentioned included tendencies for moles or acne to appear in the same relative places on twins suggest to me that mole positions on singletons could also be passed from a parent such that a child having a mole in the same place as one of the parents could be an inherited trait - the "family" mole or birthmark.

Genetics is weird and fascinating and I haven't looked closely enough at it to understand it. I may have to read some more on the subject.

Thanks for this article.
This is not a new trend though. In Lawrence Oliviers Hamlet from 1948, Hamlets mother is played by an actress which is 10 years younger than Olivier.

This is assuming that software quality is purely a function of the software engineer’s mind and creative ability, almost like art or writing.

Many - most? - software devs know multiple ways they could make their apps higher quality, but they just don’t have the time or ability right now, or they have other priorities, or so on.

Better tools can, and do, enable engineers to simply do more than they otherwise could, and sometimes “more” actually does mean “better.”
