"Trees are literally infinite. Just plant enough of them while you cut them down."

Nice in theory but there's a big, big problem in the interim: in many instances that interim exceeds 300-plus years before there's a solution (if there's a practical one at all)!

Many of the world's best timbers have been exploited to the point of extinction and the few trees that remain in the wild are strictly controlled by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) in that the export trade is strictly banned (just like elephant tusks - that means exporting any quantity no matter how small is illegal). Even so, illegal logging is now out of control and it's reducing their remaining numbers to critically low levels.

Demand for timbers such as the dalbergias: Brazilian Rosewood - Dalbergia nigra, Cocobolo D. Retusa, etc. and many other depleted species such as Lignum vitae is already so high that - like the drug trade - there are instances where people in the illegal trade are killing one another over 'territory' and the 'rights' to illegal smuggling.

Many good hardwood tree can take many hundreds of years to mature and despite many, many decades of the very best science chemical engineering has devised, it hasn't come anywhere near producing good artifical verions of these timbers. If we immediately started a planting operation of Manhattan Project size proportions to repopulate these trees to the level they were two hundreds years ago it would still take several hundreds of years before the world had sufficient timber to meet current (let alone the future) demand. And that's just the beginning of supply problems in the lumber industry.

So what's your solution for the next few hundred years?

Incidentally, in China, rosewoods (dalbergias) are revered with almost mystical significance, they are symbols of huge cultural and personal importance. With its newfound wealth, Chinese demand for these now rare timbers has skyrocketed and the Chinese will pay almost any amount to get their hands on them. As the population of more affluent Chinese grows, this problem will get steadily worse.

Now consider this is only one of many similar environmental problems the world is currently facing.
They're on top of my list to add to Copper. As soon as we get sqlite support!
This whole thing is just really embarrassing. The result of a dumbed down population viewing reality through the lens of Hollywood stories.
What would it even mean to have evidence of something supernatural? Wouldn't having evidence (an observation?) make it no longer supernatural (above the natural)?
Speaking from experience where a team here has made a RIBS implementation. Stay away, keep it simple. Even at a fang size company it's not worth it
I don't know what you're referring to here, but 51% of Wikipedians believe that religious education (of some form) is compulsory in all UK schools.
I think we can all be sure that once this is perfected, in real life there will be far fewer collisions per year with trains than the way the model performs right now.

When people are stupid enough to put trains at street level (on roads previouly optimized for cars) you can't later expect AI to "fix stupid" on its own when the best traffic engineers have never even achieved very ideal avoidance of train collisions like this compared to elevated or subterranean track foundations.
Isn’t SSR only really relevant when you need to optimize for SEO (which only applies to a subset of apps)? Seems like it doesn’t confer any other significant benefit.
This is an argument against large central governments.

If the system gets too large to effectively govern with understandable rules, then will be captured by special interests, which are the groups with the strongest incentives to create / understand these complex rules and use them to their advantage. This is called regulatory capture and the larger and more complex a system is, the more likely it will be captured.

This can be avoided by governing as close to the local level as possible (the subsidiary principle) so that you never have the complexity of governance grow to the point it gets captured.

Unfortunately strong central governments don't like their power being taken from them, and they are more powerful than any political organization within their territory, so in practice you have power move from local to national and rarely the other way around.
We have docs on code splitting reducers and other Redux logic here:

- https://redux.js.org/usage/code-splitting

There have been some different community packages for helping with that process, but some of them seem to have become outdated (only worked with React-Redux v5, etc). I did see a new one at https://github.com/fostyfost/redux-eggs that seemed like it had potential, but I haven't had a chance to try any of them myself.

I also once saw someone play around with the idea of using React's still-not-technically-final Suspense support to help ensure that a lazy-loaded component that relies on a code-split reducer doesn't actually get rendered until that reducer's state is available. Don't have the link handy atm, but if someone wants it ping me and I can go figure out where that was described.

Also, the new RTK "listener" middleware was specifically designed to replace almost all saga usages, and you can dynamically add more listeners at runtime via dispatch an `addListener()` action:

I think an ORM like https://github.com/xo/xo with https://sqlc.dev/ as a fallback for complex queries will be a killer combo!
Humans are part of a lineage that's survived for hundreds of millions or billions of years. We've already had that time. The pressure is simply more complicated than "have big families whatever the cost" and humans have agency.
"What's wrong with frontend?"

This is the age-old question. You're using Redux now, but I'm sure some JQuery/Angular/Knockout/etc dev said the same thing about what you're using back then.

The front-end is crazy and I don't think there's an obvious answer of why it's such a developmental disaster. It's easy to say it's run by script kiddies or the barrier to entry is too easy, but there are a lot of smart devs working on the top libraries. The culture just ended up this way. Whatever is driving it probably will never stop though. Enjoy the ride. lol
I eat what I crave. When it has too many calories, I know it, and I cut back some in the next 24 hours.
IIRC bulk of the gain in average life expectancy over the last 2 centuries came from reducing infant mortality, which had outside impact on the aggregate mean.
And that's why you need state management. Cache is state.
Fun fact: one of the XState devs did a proof-of-concept showing how to use XState state machines as Redux reducers and integrate the side effects handling as a middleware:

https://github.com/mattpocock/redux-xstate-poc

We'd like to work together to turn that into a more official integration sometime soon.
I think that neither "outlier toolchain" nor "some percentage increase" are fair. This benchmark [0] show significant speedup while lowering the memory needs. You still need to reach dask/spark for really big data where you need a cluster of beefy computers for your tasks.

If you use an r5d.24xlarge-like[1] instance, you can skip spark/dask for most workflows as 768 GB is plenty enough. On top of that, polars will efficiently use the 96 available cores when you are computing your join, groupby, etc.

Also polars is getting more and more popular[2]

It's a brilliant PR move by the Pentagon to hire a reality TV star to head a UFO study in this cyber era of (mis)information. Anyone with common sense already knows that the US has not militarised space and created a new arm of the military (US Space Force) to fight any alien invasion. But the Pentagon knows how essential PR is to justify its huge budget. It can be hard to justify to the public why a new, independent arm of the military is needed to protect critical infrastructure, especially when you can't reveal the primarily goals of Space Force without inviting more critical scrutiny and endangering future military goals. So UFOs (which the general public automatically associate with extraterrestrial aliens) provide a good PR distraction for the US Space Force from real political criticism and scrutiny.

(As "conspiracy" theories go, apart from protecting critical infrastructure the primary goals of the US Space Force is to aid in the creation and protection of next-gen satellite internet and a drone military. This will slowly allow the US to completely take over the internet infrastructure globally, using BigTech, to the point of even making local telecommunication infrastructure of a country redundant. And second, it will create a new planet wide network of satellites and a communication platform to create the next-gen drone military that is inevitable when Robotics and AI r&d reach a certain threshold. A drone military is essential and inevitable for countries like the US where losing military personnels in a war has a high political and miliary cost, unlike say in China or India that have a huge population and a voluntary military force with no conscription.)

Also forgot midwifing, babysitting, and education. No professional lives forever, so a civilization must constantly grow and train replacements.
Entertainment doesn't need to be an industry, that will happen naturally among peers unless it's artificially restricted.
I suppose the FDA's opinion here doesn't matter anymore? Wild, layman postulation here, but I don't see any meaningful difference between the FDA and the EPA, if the EPA was executive overreach than I suppose the FDA is too and companies should feel relatively comfortable about using any chemical that they wish.

I'd be curious to hear the inside of both meeting rooms, inside the FDA and inside chemical producers. Very curious what those meetings are like after last week.
Going to guess your local RadioShack is one of the handful of independent RadioShack dealers left. It would be a shame if they ended up dropping the RadioShack brand because the current owners of the brand find being profane as a good way of getting attention.
Gosh. Have you guys even heard about the Lightning Network? Throughput higher than visa. We're already well past the scale needed to handle the world's txns.

Consider also they didn't just start doing all this yesterday. Lots of policy/legal cases/social conclusions based on their performance is suspect.
Interesting, hadn't heard of it before, thanks!
Midwifing is medicine, babysitting is not an industry, and formal education was invented in the 1800s. People have been capable of educating each other and watching children without full-time school for thousands of years, it's only recently that westerners completely forgot how to do it.
Are you able to shed some light on where the entitlement is coming from?

Asking as someone who has honestly never held such assumptions, I remember quite clearly my initial instinct towards various FOSS projects as "their castle their rules", I'm kinda puzzled why anyone would think otherwise... but this is a long time ago in internet years.

Hi, I'm Andy and I have four years of experience working on back-end Java APIs (Spring, microservices) with a healthcare IT company.
I'm looking for a full-time software engineering role and I'm excited to work with newer technologies (possibly Kotlin, Golang).
Rsync can checksum a lot of megabytes per second. In general I'd say the disk IO is much more expensive than the computation.
OP here on a different throwaway (because I already killed the session from yesterday). To be honest, I had to step away because of your comment.

It is incredibly frustrating that every single time I've shared the situation in, some jerk chimes in with their preconceptions, often without even reading the information put in front of them.

For instance my last trip to the E.R was the first in a few months. During triage the nurse confirms their existing records that Droperidol is the only medication I'm known to have a negative reaction to -- something that is documented, because multiple times in the same E.R, Droperidol has caused every muscle in my body to go twitchy. My chart indicates the Ativan/Reglan/Pepcid cocktail consistently works. P.A. comes into the room, first thing he asks is why I'm still smoking cannabis. He follows that up with orders for fluids and... Droperidol. Tells me he doesn't want to go the Ativan route because it can be habit forming and I'm already an addict. I spend the next couple hours twitching in addition to puking, until shift change, when the doctor who took over finally hit me with the right set of meds.

And yes, I've been trying to get the mental health assistance I need. Unfortunately it is spectacularly difficult to find help unless you're either rich or destitute.
It's not actually there.

And once that cache is sufficiently complex, it's just a state store like redux.
I think it asks if you want to turn it on during the set up flow, but I don't remember. I know it's off on mine, I suppose if you want to use Find My they have to have your location, since that's it's purpose.

Apple's Find My page seems to indicate it's end to end encrypted in many purposes, but lists all the ways it has to reveal your location to Apple to provide the feature.
THIS. I feel like I keep smashing my head against a wall explaining the same thing to everybody. This isn't quantum mechanics. Why is this so hard to understand for others :(
both look interesting, "Mux is looking for new Maintainers"
Most of Europe can only have one crop of many cultures per year. What if some of them could grow faster and fit two crops into the summer? This might be useful not only in places like Sweden, but even in places like France.
I strongly agree. I only mentioned "but it is texual" because it looked like that the author likes GUI-based one.
Seems that 'vee vee vee vee vee vee' would be more accurate.
Makes you wonder if the ultimate winning strategy is picking an arbitrary external stimulus, like the ticking of a clock, or the opponent placing their foot.

You could also think of a special purpose revolver with a timer, that provides a haptic click, with a n-second delay when a button is pressed.
I think OP point is that everyone a bit skilled at interviewing knows what you are looking for in the answer and will craft you a solid retelling of something which didn’t actually happen.

Don’t get me wrong it’s a good skill to have. You want people who understand what’s expected of them and can craft you a solid story. It’s just that there is better question to ask if you want to test for that.

> "I had to schedule a meeting across 10 different departments and get agreement on changing an internal process."

That’s a good exemple. I don’t interview developers but I have seen similar situations happen in plenty of interviews. You are telling me you have the pull to get a large cross-departments meeting organised and enough political savviness to get internal policy changed but are now interviewing to be a developer. I would find that strange and have a ton of follow-up questions.
Author of https://github.com/livebud/bud here, congrats on the launch Tushar! Looking forward to building up the Go web framework ecosystem with you!
Once you see the light of state machine based UI's, it's immediately obvious and you never want to go back. The problem comes in convincing others to deal with the boilerplate. It's worth it, but it never really sinks in until you use it.
You're assuming the barrister doesn't have theoretical knowledge, which I can tell you from experience is not true. Good lawyers have an incredible ability to grasp the theoretical underpinnings of almost anything very, very quickly.

>am I using that reference right?

Looks right to me! Although interestingly it’s unclear which book / Book you’re referring to, as the expression comes from Exodus 2:22:

“And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.”
Couldn't you just put it on and not swim? As a redhead I wear sunscreen just pulling weeds in my yard, or going on a walk with my dog.
Feedly is not serious RSS. They don’t have the right taste for the RSS guys of right mind. Switched off after a few months years ago, then become a user for Feedbin. I recently switched to self hosted Miniflux due to their customizable full text scraper and had never been happier.
I think they tried but the overhead of physical stores and inventory was just too much to serve that small-ish market.
I don’t know specifically about that time period, but there have been dips and peaks in life expectancy over time. In the latter half of the 19th century in England, life expectancy at adulthood was the same or better than it is today.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672390/

There was actually a major, severe DECLINE after that associated with globalization, trade, and further industrialization, which is where many charts begin.

Think about how incredible that is - nothing we would recognize as modern medicine, but adults living just as long. I can’t think of any greater indictment of our health in modern civilization, especially given the amount of resources we expend. I mean, just think about - aside from the improvements in child mortality which are almost entirely just from now nearly century old antibiotics and vaccines technology, we spend 20% of our GDP to achieve the same results as the 1850s English who got them for next to nothing in comparison. Progress!
I don't know why but front-end terminology always makes me cringe. I know it's useful jargon. I don't know why I have a visceral distaste for them. Maybe because it feels like taking a small, simple thing and making it seem like it's something more.

But you're right. I haven't done much front-end at large scales. Only at one employer for a short while.
2. As a _service_. Why do you think they get paid?
Weird. Seems like they used to have much more technical sponsors in the past. Hopefully this doesn't mean that a financial crisis is looming?
>RSS is basically impossible to monetize.

It may also be illegal (or at least on shaky grounds) if you happen to make money out of content that is not yours.
What an entirely reasonable (and boring) interpretation.

Interstellar squid is far more fun.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind.
Did you mean "not swim, bathe or shower?" The stuff goes somewhere.
Agree. I am working on a side-project and using XState for local state management, and Jotai (with Immer) to send that state to various components in my app. It is working really well and mitigating unnecessary rerenders.

More moving parts than I might like, but they play together nicely and I haven't hit a single wall yet.
That's actually what converted me to Vue. I did all of the Redux stuff, but then found Mobx and enjoyed that so much more. A friend of my told me "if you like React + Mobx you'd probably like Vue" (I think he was quoting from the Vue website). He was right.
I haven't looked into deeply but I've heard stories from others with Ryzen boxes that ECC features of the RAM are turned off with Ryzen CPUs installed. Supposedly you can see this in Linux w/dmidecode or other tools. I'd appreciate good links if anybody has them.

What's the size of the team/app? Really curious what companies out there besides Uber has used RIBS or VIPER. Not sure why they would do that either, other than it was trendy on some technical blogs back in like 2014.
A great lawyer can also cause the other side to spend a ton of money responding discovery requests and motions. In fact, a common strategy is to get the other side's legal bill to be so high they eventually give up.

I've seen this kill multiple startups who end up in disputes with large tech companies. Even if the startup is 100% in the right, the large co can tie them up in a lawsuit for years and VCs won't back a startup actively involved in a lawsuit, so the startup runs out of money before the case is ever decided.
I'm just tired of the redundant reinvention of new "terms" for literally everything in JS. I don't want to know what an "atom" or a "proxy" or a "thunk" is. These are meaningless abstractions that simplify down to a store and a callback. Stop inventing terms to make yourself feel smart.
I disagree, I think UI programming is inherently quite simple. Especially with a paradigm like immediate-mode GUIs in my opinion. I believe the complexity comes from the fact that the DOM is a poor API for creating user interfaces, which ultimately inspired developers to create frameworks that work in a more “immediate-mode” style way.
Oh! To be entirely honest, I got the link directly from a reference on a Wikipedia page, so I assumed the old link must be down since it was using archive.org.

With that being said, the archive.org link is probably better in case anyone comes across this HN discussion in the future.
Or so you think...

I had hoped that maybe Home Depot would have swooped in at the last minute and bought up RadioShack as they're at different ends of the DIY market and could have had some good crossover opportunities. And maybe Home Depot could have created some maker spaces in their big box stores. Anyone who has had anything cut at Home Depot has likely seen the "No precision cuts" signs, but what if that was a premium service one could purchase? Laser cut plywood? Waterjet cut aluminum panels? Might not have been a market for it in every store but I'd like to think it could have worked at a couple of locations in each large metro and maybe trickled down from there.
20+ years in the industry. I think you are a little bit entitled. It does take a lot of effort to make even a crappy game, I have shipped my share of those myself. But the customer is not your elementary school teacher, who awards gold stars for the effort. The customer paid a ton of money (for HN readers $60 games might be cheap but they are not for the most people who buy games) for something he or she hoped to like and it turned to be something that had been shoved out... Imagine a fancy restaurant, with $$$$ menu where you order a confit de canard and get some undercooked chicken nuggets with ketchup? Will you ask if the chef having a bad day and how could you cheer him up?

Ent can replace an ORM in your architecture, and it's easiest to explain in two seconds as "an ORM for Go", but it's not really that. It's a way to describe a persistent object graph, without any reference to persistence or mapping details. When your chosen persistence layer is an RDBMS, as it often is, then it uses an ORM - but you rarely interact with it at that level even when specify your entity schemas. You can back it with an object DB or REST API instead and then it wouldn't need the RM part at all.
