Have any examples of websites or products of yours?

Edit: ok so I took a look at the website in your hackernews bio. Some cool stuff there, but honestly in terms of front end work it isn't terribly complicated. So while you might be picking the correct tools for your work, it doesn't really apply for, say, a marketplace website that wants to lazy load long lists of products, or that want to re-use those product cards across different pages, etc. This is where vanilla JS starts to be too low-level, and you start to see the benefits of the structure that frameworks provide.
It would be nice to play with this in a Google Earth type interface. When you're zooming in pretty far, it's hard to tell what sources are going to have high resolution information that would be useful on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis.

Only refined phillips (post-1949) was designed this way.
Early on, phillips was not designed to cam out, and instead was designed to have better ability to be torqued than slotted.
The whole "phillips was designed to cam out" has been retconned :)

Wikipedia actually goes into this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Phillips

The truth is that it was already pretty hard to mass produce a phillips recess (vs a slotted one) back then.

Once everything transitioned to being stamped, and stamping was easy, phillips became the worst choice for roughly every application.
Congratulations! The only suggestion I have is about the logo: if you rotate it clockwise 90 degrees, then the lamp head also looks like a "D", instead of an "A" as it does currently. I immediately felt it would be better suited to the product name (with some tweaks, of course).
Here's the problem: people don't care about even one of the eight things you listed there. None of these things matter to the common person, and they certainly don't matter to the preeminent payment infrastructure.

Nobody here is shilling for centralized services, most of us are veterans of decentralized tech giving you warnings. Many projects have encountered these same issues, and have died because they have no purpose. Blockchains are little more than nerd porn, the average banker isn't going to look a trustless infrastructure and all of the sudden "get it". That's one of many insurmountable problems that cryptocurrency faces, and it has been successfully blocking adoption of it in the real world for more than 10 years. You can't simply shrug off decades of decentralized failure without applying the lessons you learned from watching them fall. Unfortunately, every cryptocurrency I've found is tone-deaf to these concerns, and prefers to replace genuine conversation with marketing crap.
I found this archaic looking website and was struck by how great its educational content was. Some of the most interesting lectures and topics, most of them available on YouTube for free with descriptions that give a lot of background context.

Okay.

If that's what you believe, then you should have no problem being required, under penalty of imprisonment or execution to:

1. Submit blood/dna samples to a state organ donor program;

2. Give up a kidney, a lung, part of your liver, perhaps a testicle to someone who is a good donor match.

What you're advocating is essentially the same thing.

What's that? You don't want to be required to do so?

Why is that?

As an aside, according to the Donor Care Network[0]:

"Kidney donor surgery has a .007% mortality rate, which means that on average, for every 100,000 living donor surgeries, seven donors die."

At the same time, according to the CDC[1]:

"In 2020, 861 women were identified as having died of maternal causes in the United States, compared with 754 in 2019 (3). The maternal mortality rate for 2020 was 23.8 deaths per 100,000 live births"

Making it more than three times as dangerous for a woman to carry a child to term than it is to donate a kidney.

Would you support legislation that would require you to provide a kidney, part of your liver, a lung or some other organ to another person? And if you refuse, you will be subject to imprisonment or even the death penalty if the designated recipient died?

If not, then why is it okay to have laws that require essentially the same thing from women with functioning reproductive systems, with the additional burden of such a requirement entailing more than three times the risk of death than donating a kidney?

Like, for my purposes, I'd simply like to know the temperature trend for the next 3-5 days. Will each day's high be hotter or cooler than the previous?

Bonus points: what's the high temperature for the next 3 days (within say, 3°F).

Anecdotally, using these standards, this seems to be consistently wrong where I live for much of the summer. I don't pay attention in the other seasons as the weather is much milder.
That's quite dated by now. If you are in a position to inject traffic, you are likely also able to simply use that uplink to send traffic of your own. I'd be surprised if this is still in use, especially outside of China (or a poor not-so-tech-savvy country like North Korea) and wasn't just a quick hack at the time.

It’s not that high, if you consider that we consume 150 terra watt hours per year worth of energy. Even if we assume a (unrealistically) low cost of 1 cent per watt hour for transportation, it means we spend at least $1.5T to transport our energy per year.
Hey - if you re-read recent threads and see this reply, great; and no worries if not - thanks for your feedback, in either case.

All I'll say for now is that arguably the shopping list should become an important nexus within the app. Like an accounting entry-book with both order history and also yet-to-be-filled orders, it could be used to approximate the kitchen inventory at points-in-time. That should become powerful when changes in inventory are used to feed back into current and future meal planning.

Separately: advice noted about testing with friends and family. My partner and I use the app at home once or twice a week, and following recent improvements it's probably time to reach out for more feedback from others.

I find maintaining a balance between asking for (re)evaluation of the app and a hope for regular everyday conversations a little tricky; but to be honest I've always found the latter challenging, probably.
Magnetic fields are an effect of looking at moving electric charges from relativistic points of view. There is always at least one observer that sees only an electrical interaction because of their reference frame.

In that reference frame, there are no magnetic fields that influence motion, just electrical charges attracting and repelling.

Sam Harris’ Waking Up. I’m sure that some of the neuroscience in it will become outdated, but its effect on my worldview and life trajectory can’t be understated.

Perhaps this is apocryphal, but when Richard Feynman was asked what one sentence would contain the most information to bootstrap science after apocalypse, he said “everything is made of atoms”. Sam Harris parallels this with his one sentence for spiritual practice: “you are not this next thought”.

Being reminded of this annually by way of the excellent exposition of Waking Up seems to be the right move for me.

I think this paper would be better titled “A Labored Effort At A Case Study Of Small-Scale Waterfall Development.”

The actual method is never described in any detail; instead the paper is chiefly concerned with the Software Development Life Cycle, requirements gathering and stakeholder communication (apparently they were surveyed using “six hat thinking” with the help of some Borland software, though who the stakeholders were in this is never explained), and so on. Figured include a class diagram (featuring 4 classes, in impossibly small print: “Steganography,” “Encryption System,” “Hiding Contents”, and... “User Registration”???) and a Gantt chart (with no labels, though we can see the whole project took about a month and a half and each phase depended on the previous one).
Does anyone know of better options than Philips / flathead for screws that can be used tolerably with a somewhat-wrong-sized driver? In particular, I carry a Leatherman that has a single Phillips and three flathead sizes that in practice work quite well to remove a large variety of common screws, and I don't think it's possible to produce a similar tool in a Torx world.

Pozi is most common head in the UK apart from Phillips and slotted! Pozi has a greater surface area which helps with cam out. I have no idea why on earth we still have slotted engineering screws with a cheeky short cylinder on the end to aid initial contact, to hold electrical faceplates onto back boxes.

For big wood screws ie six+ inch no 10s or 12s you really want Pozi but the tip needs to be cleft and the lower thread needs to be toothed to cut in. You'll be using torque that can potentially break or at least hurt your wrist if you are not careful with a big drill/driver so a carefully placed leg to the right can help avoid that by acting as a stop.

For really big wood screws eg joining two sleepers, we generally use hex headed screws and a socket set or a impact driver and some care.

In general the real problem is getting the bloody things out again after 10 years of weathering or other age effects. WD40 and the like is often your mate here and so is being creative on how to apply enough lateral force to ensure that your cyclical force is sufficient to remove the fastening.
The part with the tombs that must be completed by stacking up the corpses of multiple failed Crofts reminded me of the c64 game based on Nemesis the Warlock: https://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=https%3A//www.lemon64.com/g...

Figure 1 implies that the “LSB” in question is Least Significant Bit, so my best guess at how you’d build something matching this title is to take the sort of SVG you get out of the typical GUI export (with lots of decimal places in all the paths) and twiddle the coordinates by insignificant amounts. You can squeeze a lot of bytes out of an SVG by rounding, it stands to reason that you can squeeze some bytes in by doing the opposite.

And JIS has been discontinued now so if you need to get those screwdrivers/bits, get on it! The nice thing is that a JIS screwdriver can be used on Phillips screws and works better whole a Phillips screwdriver just doesn’t work.

As I read it, it recommends Phillips for manufacturing due to self centering and perhaps cam out; and Torx and Robertson for manual applications. I guess it draws this particular contrast with "manual" applications to highlight that it in fact means automated manufacturing.
Probably not. Those large insects and other bugs could flourish because they didn't have effective competition. But increasing the oxygen level today isn't going to remove the ecosystem that prevents giant bugs from developing again.

Analogously, there's nothing about the atmosphere preventing giant ground sloths from existing, but they nevertheless can't exist because they're not compatible with humans.
(*) Works until you discover you've slowly stripped the screw and can no longer turn it.
> industrial automation settings

In what context are you doing industrial automation, but have to worry about overtorquing a fastener? Wouldn't you almost always solve this problem by having a pilot-drilling + tapping step and then using machine screws? In what industry do machines drive self-tapping screws into things?

(I suppose you could dramatically overtorque a machine screw and end up shearing the head off or something; and that this could have been more of a concern before there was any sort of torque limiting built into drivers. But torque-limiting drivers have been around as long as electric drills/screwdrivers have been.)
That extensions essentially hands over control of your HN account to some internet stranger. It's a little bit better described in the store now than it used to be although I'm surprised the chrome store allows this kind of thing at all.
And where exactly do you think cattle and chickens and pigs get most of their calorie? Answer: vegetarian sources. Grass, grain, crap veg, and food waste from nearby breweries and such.

Where do you think the vast majority of calories come from in most of the world? Grain and vegetables. 20% of the world's calories come from just rice alone.

The problem is mostly cattle, and it's not just "energy." They require massive amounts of land, fertilizer, and water to raise compared to even other forms of protein:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/beef-uses-ten-...

> The team calculated that beef requires 28 times more land, six times more fertilizer and 11 times more water compared to those other food sources. That adds up to about five times more greenhouse gas emissions.

> To further put these findings into perspective, the authors also ran the same calculations for several staple crops. All told, on a calorie-to-calorie basis, potatoes, wheat and rice require two to six time less resources to produce than pork, chicken, eggs or dairy.

So that means that calories from beef require about sixty to one hundred and eighty times as much land, twelve to thirty six times more fertilizer, and twenty two to sixty six times more water.

Look at how much rice you can buy for the cost of a 1lb of the cheapest form of beef - ground - and compare the calories per dollar.

1lb of ground beef is a little under $5 and provides at most 784 calories. 156 calories per dollar. 1lb of rice is around 25-30 seconds per pound. Let's round up to 50 cents to make it sporting. 589 calories per pound (also, 12g of protein.) 1178 calories per dollar.

Rice provides almost eight times as many calories per dollar. Now consider that beef in the US is heavily subsidized (because...drumroll please...it wouldn't be price competitive with other food sources!)

I’ve switched 100% to Robertson for woodworking and Hex for electronics/metal/3dprinting/etc. As far as I’m concerned Phillips are as outdated as flathead screws and ridiculous to consider in anything new.

I generally even replace existing Phillips screws around the house with Hex equivalents as I come across them, just so future maintenance is more reliable and easier.

Phillips was the VHS to Robertsons BETA, yet Robertson has finally gotten a second go at it and seems to finally be winning. Our hardware shops have them in every size and use case now (alongside hex).
One way to "store" it is to convert it to ammonia, a pretty standard process. Then it can be easily shipped around in tankers and so forth.
> You say the Wii was "mixed", but that's just wrong. It outsold the PS3 and XBox 360.

It did, but many of the people who bought it purchased few (if any) games. It's not clear to me that the Wii was more profitable than the PS360 when you take the full ecosystem into account. And even if it was, remember that those competing consoles made major technical missteps—the PS3's high initial cost and weird Cell processor, and the 360's red ring of death.

> As for Apple, they were lambasted for removing the Home button, removing the audio jack, making their own chips. But those have all been not the major missteps people thought they were.

I don't remember as much outcry about the home button's removal. But I bet if you asked a focus group what they wanted in an iPhone, "the biggest possible screen in the smallest possible body" would have been high on the list, and that ultimately necessitates removing the home button. Android phones had already been moving in this direction.

Similar situation with Apple Silicon. Normal consumers don't know what a cpu architecture is, but I'm sure a focus group would have asked for a Mac which was faster and lasted longer on battery.

The headphone jack's removal was a money grab, pure and simple. It allows Apple to exert more control over the ecosystem and receive more money in licensing fees. Consumers didn't like it, they were merely willing to put up with it.
