I'm sorry people are downvoting, because you are correct.

SSR (by which I mean Next.js) is the most over-invested in JS tech of all time. It introduces a bunch of crummy DX which never pays for itself from a business standpoint.

SSR is only potentially useful for landing pages. In which case you should be using Wordpress or something like Wordpress so you aren't wasting dev resources on something a marketing team should be doing. (If your argument is that SSR is necessary for speed, I'm pretty sure exporting your Wordpress site to static HTML + CSS and using Cloudflare could more than make up for the difference.)

The one asterisk I'll add to this is that SSR in the form of the Remix framework may justify its own existence as it removes the need for an explicit API layer, which lets you skip a ton of boilerplate code. This is a big win. The fact that Remix uses SSR is just an implementation detail -- it's the DX that's actually valuable (although SSR fetishists will probably still like it, too.)

The Sentinel data is excellent, and spans several satellite platforms and a huge number of modalities. In some significant cases (surface deformation, imaging spectroscopy, for example) Sentinel surpasses (current!) NASA data. (I use both in various projects.)

In general there are a lot of trades, including ground sampling distance, temporal revisits, and spectral coverage. So it’s good to have options.

Both NASA and ESA do exceptionally well at offering free data for science purposes. All the NASA science data, Earth and otherwise, is free.

People think of this data as a camera that’s pointed at a target, but that’s not how it works now. There are calibration and inversions that have be done to transform the observed electromagnetic data into physically-relevant quantities.

I’m not a commercial user, but it is possible that there are charges for some commercial purposes, or for niche applications that require high volumes or low latency. (Although many missions offer near real time feeds for free as well as slower calibrated feeds.) The data egress costs are a concern for NASA Earth science…I don’t remember the specific numbers but they have been increasing rapidly.
Judges should not be lawyers by trade; It creates an insidious incentive structure to make "law" into something far different from what we actually want.

This is a "when all you have is a hammer" type of idea. This product can be provided way cheaper without involving any sort of blockchain at all, by approaching the developer(s) directly and offering them money to fix your bugs or write the features you want.

Ultimately, successful products are determined by customers and by product managers and their executives, and it turns out there is no one-size-fits-all approach to even basic UI programming because everyone has an opinion.

Not to mention, as an example touch became a widespread new UI paradigm in the last 10-20 years.
I don't see why any of this is needed. Just install Dropbox, and...
And how did that work out for Germany?

More seriously the Prussian system was created after the Napoleonic Wars to ensure that Prussia had a large reasonably well educated population suitable for warfare and for industry.

That system was enforced in the USA later in the 19th Century.

> If I was thinking of contributing to Clojure, this post is reason enough to stay away from it.

Without wanting to sound flippant or rude, I think they'd be cool with that. They're talking about contributions to the core language here. Not fixing typos in a README.

In mature projects like this, all the low-hanging fruit is done. You can't just take a notion some weekend and fire off a useful pull request. It requires an investment. To make a good contribution to Clojure you have to....

- clearly define the problem that needs to be solved
- get other people on the core team to agree that it needs to be solved
- document a number of ways to solve it, discuss with the community which one will work best
- let these ideas stew for a while, people might change their minds

The above constitutes 95% of the work and would typically take months rather than days. Once all that's done, coding up the implementation is the easy bit.
Do they have an archive of different datasets they offer. I'd be curious but to see if their are any that pique my interest particularly.
Since I only talked for a year I didn’t get into the full life of items. Some of my clothes I’ve owned for 10 years too!

One good realization was recognizing the type of items I would immediately come to wherever they were clean. As well as the awesome potentially low cost per wear of items that can be worn multiple times per week (obvious in retrospect but nice to know that spending a little more for quality on shoes, pants, and jackets can be worth it).
A huge part of open source is open community, open to feedback, open to suggestions, feature requests and contributions. Obviously there's no entitlement but it's one of the few actual benefits of open sourcing.

Edit: I know about "open source but not open contribution" thing which is quite rare (esbuild for one). I don't think that's a good idea for the health of the project.

I know not everyone has the mental strength to run and moderate a community but in the software world, a community is akin to being a celebrity. People follow you, wait on you, listen to you, value you, troll you, throw insults at you, shout at you, and show attitude to you when you don't owe them anything. The best part is that someone somewhere knows you. Fame is a huge motivator.

If all of the open source projects had huge communities and no funding, there'd be more actively maintained projects than there are now with very few communities. I might even say that a few dollars here and there might not even make a huge difference compared to a few people making issues, taking interest and contributing.

Now I know not everyone is like that or should be like that. I am not generalizing here but come on. When you put your effort out there, it is quite reasonable to expect some form of compensation or appreciation.

If all the open source projects just put the code out there and called it a day, that'd be a huge disservice to the world. Open source is the birthing ground for a lot of software engineers and all their learning is due to them being a part of a community and contributing.

And as to be expected the bad comes with the good. That's alright. If you take the decision to run a community, don't worry about a few bad apples here and there. It's a part of the deal.

The benefits of being open community far outweigh the cons. It's no obligation but it sure is a good thing.
Really sad to see RadioShack reduced to this. Grew up on a Tandy Color Computer. Hate seeing RadioShacks Twitter account being dragged through the mud by a foul mouthed crypto scammer intern.
While I agree that React (for the web) isn't the best SPA out there (I would use Solid or Svelte), It's the most practical simply because of the hiring pool and because of React Native.

Sometimes you have to be practical and give up certain areas for the sake of the whole.

I don't even think React is even that bad as you claim it to be, judging from your past posts.

React Native is one of the best things to ever happen to native development, removing the atrocity that is the separation of development of apple and android - one of the most productivity inhibiting factors to a startup out there.

This is why react is so strong.
I'd expect the reaction time to be better when the event is unambiguous. So a church bell tolling noon would work, but a randomly chosen swing of a pendulum wouldn't.
Theoretically, but not practically.
Really glad there's advanced open-source tools like darktable and RawTherapee.

I've switched back and forth between RawTherapee and darktable for a few years now.

I prefer the UI and workflow or RT, but dt has better performance on my machine. And RT has this strange longstanding bug where the image is extremely blurry during editing, and only becomes clear after exporting. According to a github issue, a workaround is to disable lens correction (and anything else in the "transform" tab) but this didn't work for me, prompting my most recent switch to dt.

current biggest grip with dt... why are those damn arrows at the edges of the screen so tiny??? Expanding and retracting the side panels requires pixel-perfect accuracy on a ~20px target. I know I could use keyboard shortcuts, but my brain isn't wired for them yet.
This is not a horrible idea. I might do it a little differently. A free service for non-commercial use and a paid service for commercial use (maybe $5/per CPU per month, $50/year, $150/lifetime). Combine with maybe a 50/50 distribution of income earned to FOSS devs.

That income earned might get non-commercial users to transition and drive mindshare benefits which would force some commercial users to switch.

People should always be free to build from source or even build their own packages, create their own repos, but the kids want native packages and providing more money to package software and make packaging super simple, and well supported for devs is a good thing.

The packaging that the major distros do is fundamentally a service, and I'm shocked this hasn't been tried before. Maybe people will rally around the idea -- the major distros should be compensated, if they compensate developers as well.
Most importantly, what was the percentage 10 years ago? 20 years ago? 50 years ago?
In what sense is this like React? Incremental re-rendering using html/template or text/template was virtually impossible last time I looked into it (for improving performance of some report generation), let alone getting any kind of DOM tree structure out.

The best tradeoffs for humans are also different from the best for plants. Even fully domesticated ones like wheat still have to put energy into completely regrowing themselves every year, fighting pathogens, reproduction machinery... I'd put decent odds on synthetic production being massively more efficient.

Very good point, I hadn't got myself straight on that, thanks
Interesting indeed - although I see it opposite.

Personally I find gambling sites (and alcohol ads amongst other things) abhorrent, however when I see sponsors listed like these it makes me feel that the portal has less censorship than [insert news / tech giant / etc here]

Which gives me hope / faith that a thing could be bigger / better than the narrow [other] -

It's like if there are only a dozen or so 4 color printing presses in the world - I'd want to support the one that prints Hustler magazines.. like Larry Flynt said something like 'if they censor me, whats to stop them from censoring you or anyone else'

I realize I am a bit of on outlier (I assume) than the 'mainstream adoption' group you may be referring to.

I also think 99% of the 'mainstream adopters' never look for nor care about a sponsors page.

I've always wanted to see my reddit (and I guess HN) karma evaluated as my pagerank of comments. (Yes, lots of downsides--people with high karma have more "power". Yes it would be instantly gamed. I still want to see it.)

It would also be neat to see a reddit-like website with multiple formulas for "karma" all evaluated at the same time, like IVYMIKE (PageRank:1234 Classic: 1656 Experimental: 78)

"standard normal distribution" is a normal distribution with mean 0 and s.d. 1.

To talk about whether intelligence follows a (one-dimensional) normal distribution we have to assign a number to it. That number is usually IQ, but by design the raw score is transformed to make IQ scores follow a normal distribution.

So it is trivially true.

If we want to go beyond that, what does it even mean to say, for example, "twice as smart"?
The study actually says that the people who could produce most words starting with F, S and A in a limited timespan, also produced most swear words. So CNN buggered a (rather useless) finding for a clickbait headline. Wonderful.
The reason I read it as being a major issue is that it is apparently (maybe I'm misreading this) described as the reason the previous effort failed:

> Earlier attempts to turn the mist into usable water failed. In 1990 fog nets at Chungungo, a fishing village north of Los Tomes, captured 8,000 litres a day. Villagers argued about how to share responsibility for maintaining the atrapanieblas.

It sounds like the nets worked, and the only negative element of the project described in the article that could account for the failure is the issues around maintenance. And then it's mentioned again in the context of open "questions" of the current project. But maybe the emphasis wasn't intended by the author, I may be reading too much into it.
Serving up unsecure HTTP pages isn't ideal though.
I've seen houses which just grow shrubs over the whole lawn (sidesteps lawn maintenance, I suppose you may have to trim shrubs but its not that bad, really, compared to grass which grows almost overnight).

The other side of keeping up with maintenance - if you don't have time nor want to, hire away. It will eat a significant chunk of change to hire all the professionals your landlord was hiring, the difference being you are hiring yourself versus being dependent on the landlord.

For the DIYer, tools acquisition is definitely a PITA. Hardware stores have a decent selection mostly of what you need, but it would be nice if there were preset of tool maintenance you could order, maybe even save you money over long term buying it all piecemeal.

I'd imagine the real time suck would be for planning/research for it all, if you are used to spending your time coding, playing games, or otherwise amusing yourself, yes for the first couple years you will not have any time for these things as you are acquiring your skillset(s).

But that could be said for going back to school, etc. I think it's pretty valuable to be able to maintain your own dwelling apparatus, personally. It means you'll never be without reasonable shelter, so long as you have some access to raw materials, tools.

Anecdata (I wanted to be a teacher earlier on until I actually met a few and heard their stories):

Teachers are generally pretty progressive (both in the political and innovation senses), but the legislation (like Common Core), state & district educational standards, and school boards move more slowly. And in the US, the primary schools are largely funded and overseen by local parents (municipal and state), so the school priorities and cultures partially reflect local priorities.

There's often debate between what individual teachers want to teach (a product of their individual preferences and backgrounds and values) vs what the administration forces them to teach (as a reflection of the political and business realities of their particular school). There's often a personality difference between the two classes too (educators vs admin types), with the former often being (at a stereotype) starry-eyed idealists and the latter being grounded management types with an eye on the numbers of finance and politics; on top of that, there is also often a labor vs mgmt (not quite "owners") divide, with individual teachers being pretty much powerless to teachers' unions being really strong in some districts. Long story short, teachers can't unilaterally change the curricula they teach.

The power struggles affect everything from math (new math, math wars, whether to test it, etc.) to social studies (CRT, Native studies, bilingualism, religious studies) to science (evolution, climate) to business needs (cursive vs typing, algorithms or letterheads), etc.

Far from being a settled matter, our educational system is heavily political and its lack of progress is probably reflective of our divisiveness as a country, where two broad sides keep playing tug-of-war and veering towards the extremes, making tiny gains and losses back and forth.

The kids end up caught in the crossfire. The US, for all the money we pour into education, ends up rather poorly educating its children vs other developed nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_for_International_St...
Easy there. HN doesn't like harsh language.
There's a hint of gatekeeping in this comment. You seem to be saying that the people enjoying 1-2g with their friends are only doing it to be cool, while "real" mushroom fans like yourself do larger doses. Could an alternative explanation simply be that doing 1-2g with friends is actually a fun social experience, unlike the larger doses?
Show HN: WebReducer – micro event sourcing cloud function
Hey everyone,
WebReducer is a project I've been working on since last December. You can read about my process here: https://offbyone.us/tags/micro-business/

Send some data to WebReducer. Then, write a reducer function to retain some state. You can change the reducer function as much as you want and recreate that state.

Still working on how to explain it. It's a tiny FaaS platform. It's a tiny database. It's micro event sourcing. It's "redux" on the server as a service. It's a backend for tiny personal projects. It's a place to send your webhooks.

I'm looking for feedback on the following:

- Do you get what it is?

- What would you use it for?

- What would I need to iron out for you to seriously consider trying this?
The average "member of the community" is a "corporate user." In my experience, OSS is frequently written in IC's on-the-clock discretionary time in an official, sponsored capacity. It might even be ticketed!

And when those contributors pull in 3rd party tolls and libraries to complete their work, that's when they inhabit the roll of "the average package management user."

To what "community" do you refer that's outside of commercial activity?
I'm sure the center-left R seemed more "dynamic" or "broadcast-y" or something. It seems intentional.

darktable has a pretty steep learning curve and it introduces concepts from cinema (the scene referred workflow) that may be known to video editors and colorists, but that are surely alien even to seasoned still image editors and retouchers.

For anyone that wants to learn darktable I wholeheartedly recommended the forum at https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/darktable/19

The darktable developers frequent this forum and it's an indispensable resource.

I knew that it was in general impossible to analytically solve equations of degree 5 or higher, but this is the first time I heard you can't even express the solutions in terms of sums of nth roots. I had assumed that a fifth order polynomial would have solutions which were 5th roots, you just couldn't find them.
