Do you have any previous experience with programming? Because if you don’t, leaping from HTML + CSS to JavaScript is a huge task. JS is programming, the others aren’t. I know people tend to put them together because that’s the regular FE stack, but the learning curve and skills required to do JS are way different than the other two. So I think you should just keep at it, but also keep in mind that JS is a programming language and you’re essentially learning a whole new thing there.

The web has always been bad, just never quite so complex. The stacks are more complex and fragile and I would argue fragile because of the complexity.

A nursery is just an errgroup (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sync/errgroup). I almost never have to use the `go` keyword directly, only through errgroups. Now I can see that it's because `go` is usually too low level to be used on its own. Not sure I agree with removing `go` entirely though.

Because Nissan is a car brand with trademarks.

If you owned apple.com and sold apples, all good. If you ran ads for computers and phones, it's a problem and infringing their mark.

Trademarks are supposed to protect a brand in the category they operate in. Using their name and profiting off ads for the same category is cybersquatting. He operated in a somewhat gray area trying to run a computer repair shop with ads and got forced to stop. There is a reasonable argument that running car ads on nissan.com, one of the largest known car brands could cause brand confusion.

Plants have hard time evolving parts that require large pieces of crystalline silicon.

If we can boost plant production using electricity generated by solar panels next (or above) the fields or greenhouses, it could be great. An not only on Mars or Moon, but here on Earth, too.

Faster growth may mean two crops per year instead of one in some places. Acetate is easy to store, so it's a good way to apply the excess solar output during day, and excess nuclear output at night time.

That's not to knock either Flask or Django (or FastAPI for that matter), they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but there is little defence against a developer determined to avoid best practices and reading the documentation even for a framework as mature and well-documented as Django.
Anyone in Visual Effects for TV/Film?
Hi HN,

I hope this is the right place to post.

I am looking for calls with people in VFX about machine learning..

The conversation will be up to the person but I'd love to talk about previous experience with it (if any), existing use cases like rotoscoping, paint outs/wire removal and also the possibilities in the future of it.

For transparency I've designed technical workflows from camera to post for several years and I'm interested in launching a startup using machine learning to accelerate the VFX workflow.

If you are a VFX artist/editor, coordinator or related we would love to have a chat.

To sweeten the deal and make this feel less spammy.. anyone who books a meeting for the weekend will be entered for a prize draw of a £50 amazon gift card, get early access to the platform when it goes live, and get some free processing minutes.

In case of Feedly, yes. I feel like a hamster being tried to be converted. Feedly's free tier doesn't feel like free. It feels like a getaway drug which tries to make you pay for other features.

Overpay means getting being able to get a better deal than you did. If it is 1 hospital in a 100 mile radius telling an insurance company to take it or leave it, how is it overpaying?

Prices paid in other countries are irrelevant due to numerous factors, such as cost of living, purchasing power of local currency, legal liabilities, and most important, whether or not it is taxpayer funded healthcare which means all sellers are dealing with 1 buyer, which is the nearly the exact opposite of the US, where it is all buyers dealing with 1 seller (hospital or drug manufacturer who owns the patent).

Assuming that air can equalise and the bottom of the mine is 2.5km below sea level, from air pressure calculations air pressure would be about ⅓ more, 1⅓ atm.

I had an idea to see if plants would grow faster in a denser atmosphere. I’ve found one small study, I think the air pressure was thought to be denser when dinosaurs were about.

Your fallacy is assuming resources are diverted.

We can do both. In fact we MUST do both.
You seem to not understand the point of an interview. It's not a quiz where you get a mark at the end and the best marks get the job. It's a series of intentionally constructed questions to help talk through someone's thinking and process in order to understand if they would be a good fit. The actual answer at the end is largely irrelevant.

My point with saying "almost all wrong" is that this is one of the questions where you have like, 50 different ideas that seem like they could work and wouldn't work if tried when you try it and maybe 1 or 2 actual strategies, not a question where you have 30 different things that all work with different pros and cons and you need to compare between them.
My entire family got Covid last week because we let our guard down and went on vacation on an airplane. all vaccinated, but still put us out for over a week and counting. it may not kill us, but I definitely don’t want to get Covid again if I can do something to decrease my risk, like choosing zoom over in person.

The Buy Now, Pay Later crowd seems to think they have invented something different from credit cards, which they have not.

Article in the second statement refers to the efficiency of natural plants' way of food production: "This process, however, is very inefficient, with only about 1% of the energy found in sunlight ending up in the plant."
So comparing it to the current efficiency of photovoltaic sources of energy (up to 50% https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/solar/photovoltaics-and-...) and allowing for a lot of losses of energy in the whole process it is still not unexpected to have a couple of times better effectiveness than of natural process.

I think it depends on whether "contribute" refers to a specific official repository managed by a specific project, or to the general problem meant to be solved by the codebase. Open source doesn't give the right to contribute to a specific repo, but it does give the right to fork a project. That fork is a contribution to the general problem.
I find feedly works really great. I'm on the free tier, my UI is relatively uncluttered, they introduce new things from time to time, but mostly it's the same as when I first started when google reader shutdown.

I think people in comment should not try to compare HTMX to SPA directly, but have a broader view of the whole pros/cons of the tech stack.

For example, let's say you need to write an admin dashboard with many pages, no fancy stuff. Odds are you'll be very productive with a good old Django/Rails, having no API to write and a single simpler project to maintain.

Once that monolithic framework choice is made, before HTMX, as soon as you needed interactivity, you had to mess with jQuery and the code was quickly awful. The only solution was to plug a SPA framework and develop an API (this is not trivial!).
HTMX (and other tools like Alpine.js) solve that problem well.

So, the question is not "is HTMX better than SPA frameworks", but rather: "Knowing that I can now build decent front-end with Django/Rails, does a more complex stack with Next worth it?"

HTMX-like tools make SPA frameworks a little less indispensable in some use cases. That's it.
I used to struggle with this, but came to this viewpoint:

Giving yourself permission to stop working on something you're not interested in is the other side of the coin of giving yourself permission to start working on something you are interested in.

I now think it's fine to just not finish things. You're more likely to do something you really care about if you stop doing all the things you don't care about.

OP kind of lamented projects that they gave up on after just one sitting ("on the rare case that I even managed to continue work on a project past one session"). But the opposite of giving up on a project after one sitting isn't "magically completing the project", it's more like "sitting around and watching TV instead".

That is a confusing example to choose. The EU protects fashion under copyright in ways that the US doesn’t. So this example takes the discussion into multiple forms of IP.
Quality vs quantity.

Quality trees are nowhere near infinite.

Quality energy (stored in a lower state of entropy, conveniently accessible and usable when and where we need it) is not infinite. This one is obviously not true today. If it were, people would not be complaining about increasing fossil fuel prices, since they would be happy using the cheap (due to infinite supply) “clean” energy.

The point was that you _could_ verify whether a binary package matches the source if you wanted to on other platforms, not that you _have to_ do it all the time. With iOS you don’t have that ability so you’d have to have complete trust in the developers. The threat model is someone publishing innocent source code but sneaking in something malicious in the version they publish on the App Store, of course.

Another example is interface usage. You may have a commonly used interface with only one implementation. The implementation is the important part, but almost no usage depends directly on the implementation.

You're not even entitled to have access to the source.

If repository is down or if you don't know how to use git and demand updates being sent to you as zip files on your email - your demands mean nothing, you are not entitled to be given access to the source code.

You have _permission_ to use it in some license limited way and that's all.

If you _use_ open source code (ie. as part of your product), you may be _required_ to also provide source code, attribution etc.
> If a software does what you expect it to do and does it well but includes a few prompts here and there for marketing purposes...is that really so bad?

As the article mentions, the problem generally isn't any one individual change - the concern is about the sense of direction for the overall project. The typical direction is from "simple software that helps people to achieve some goals" towards "product with features designed to increase revenue, data gathering, and stickiness" -- like the login-required anti-feature mentioned.

If those changes are gradual then users may not really notice the small differences as they introduced, and if anyone does complain, it becomes easy for supporters of the project to deflect complaints (as, arguably, you may be here -- not ostensibly trying to keep the author with the product, but trying to reduce their credibility and persuade others that there is no problem).

In many cases, free and open source software can help avoid a project falling into dark patterns because it's possible for people who disagree to fork it and maintain/promote their own alternative -- and then for other people to compare the original and the fork on their merits (which are transparent).
I don't get it. What's the problem?

Docker is more than just application containerization, it also lets you infra as code to some degree. You can specify where and how files are organised. It turns a git repo into something consistently runnable with the same commands as every other repo you may maintain.

There's value in that.

This is just gatekeeping.
It's horror as well, if I remember correctly.
I always hear that Klarna is about 'Buy now pay later' (and having a somewhat dodgy reputation for that), but I've used it quite a few times (somewhat involuntarily, because it was the only reasonable payment option for some purchase), and it's always been immediate settlement. Do they have a separate credit card business, or what is the 'pay later' part about?
Purposefully poising people without disclosing that, is illegal. Yes.

Purposefully infecting computers with viruses without disclosing that, is probably illegal too. Yes.

Publishing code that on purpose infects computers with virus but disclosing that, is probably not illegal.

Publishing code without any disclosures at all, which happens to infect people, is probably not illegal either.

You don't have to download random code from GitHub and run it. No one is forcing you to. And if you do so, you're responsible for your own actions.

Lying about what you're doing or being rude is shitty, and the ecosystem should not support that, I agree with that. But throwing in a MIT license together with some code you publish, doesn't simply that you won't lie or that you won't be rude. It just says that you can use that code if you want to.

What you're looking for if you're looking for promises of not being lied to, is something closer to a Code of Conduct or Contributing Guidelines. It's outside the scope of (most) licenses.

The “I tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas.” trope.
I couldn't care less about the definition of what an "influencer" is or not.

What we're talking about here is releasing code as FOSS. Just because I add a MIT license to code I publish publicly, doesn't mean I want to be some "influencer" or whatever. It just implies (rather explicitly) exactly what it says in the license text, nothing more, nothing less.
