People also cause pollution, so it might be less polluting in the long run to keep the trolley.

But more seriously, I just realised that this is actually an argument that's often used against various environmental measures. People argue against wind turbines because they kill birds, ignoring the fact that pollution from fossil fuel kills far more, and birds are killed in larger numbers by other causes (cars, windows, cats). But somehow inaction seems more moral to some people if that action still leads to some deaths. Same with a multitude of other social issues.
Because of the writing, I could not get past the first chapter.
> This part, very early on in the Bun page, stood out. That’s a monetizable product, even if the code is open source.

In this case, it is due to emacs having it's own way of modelling a lot of things for a long time. Modern only means "like the other API we tends to use elsewhere these days".
Aw man, this should have had a spoiler warning. Could be a good feature for HN.
The results on all the questions implied to me that most people answered more as if it was a quiz than a philosophical question. That is, they'd tried to select the most logical/utilitarian answer based on the wording of the question rather than necessarily thinking about what they personally would do in that situation, or any wider context that may exist.
I know a person who in the last years moved from doing sex work in the physical world, to using OnlyFans and other online resources since Covid began.

Initially, she didn't offer "dick ratings" but there was so many requests for her to do it, that she started doing it.

Now most of her profits is simply from people who want her to rate their dick.

She's not Russian or have any affiliation to Russia. I think people are just generally strange.
> stuck on the trolley quite literally for eternity

What "literally" means in this case? Am I completely certain that I'll be stuck on the trolley for eternity? I would think that I'm having a psychotic break and delay my decision.
One outstanding fact is the disproportionate number of fields medalist that went to the École normale supérieure in Paris !

Auto manufacturer family tree: Who owns what?
Model S and Model X had a giant refresh of everything but the exterior.

Tesla updates the cars on an ongoing basis, which is a much faster rate of innovation than a yearly refresh done by legacy car makers.

Most of the changes are to the guts of the car, hence invisible.

But they also do changes to exterior and interior, like removing chrome, changing center console etc.

Those are not in-your-face changes but they're there.

They are not changing the exterior probably because it's a good business sense to not change change a product that sells faster than you can make it.

Once they have "we could make more cars than we're selling" problem, they can go back to design studio.
Choosing to do nothing is still choosing to do something. In choosing to do something, one makes an informed choice. How informed that is is up to you. Row limit may be one, or performance or feature set may be another - say, choosing Postgres for some data types and easier indexing.

Making informed choices are of benefit to the user. How much benefit depends on one's opportunity cost doing X instead of Y. Choosing not to do X is still a choice, an informed one or an uninformed one.

Or to step away from choice of database, take privacy. I see an immeasurable number of things on Show HN that take user data but don't have a privacy policy, if they have one it's often copied and pasted for somewhere to placate Mailchimp or another 3rd party service, and very rarely is it actionable.

Not launching a product is of course problematic for a user. Launching one that doesn't confirm to norms and rights a user expects will also be problematic. Should we not launch? How informed should your choice be? California State law, GDPR? How about Malaysia, or South Korea?

There are rabbit holes one can dive in to. There are reasonable lengths to dive, of which zero should not be a default case. At least have a look inside. Solving a problem isn't rushing something out full of uninformed choices.
I think it's because most apps are influenced way too much by "standards" that people expect but actually sucks.

I have 2 examples of web apps working really fucking well:

Missive (https://missiveapp.com/) is an email client web app with features that should be standard in every other email client. I run it via Firefox and it's the best damn email client I've ever used. It uses JS extensively but they use it very well.

Migadu (https://migadu.com/) is the absolute golden standard of email inbox services. It's not fancy but oh my days, does it work and it's so damn easy to use. Every time I have to set up emails I get happy because these guys spent exactly 0 seconds on trying to appeal to people who equates parallax-scrolling with competence. Migadu does not use JS as far as I can tell.

As a counterpoint to both, Office 365/Outlook is a gigantic, floppy donkey dick of a web app that makes all sorts of assumptions, has 3 different interfaces and is generally just a pain in the ass to use. Somthing as simple as logging in/out is a muddled, technical mess that makes it a god damned chore to change accounts.
Sounds like a VM and not a physical server.
I think this is a really good point. Definitely makes inaction feel like a choice, which is fundamental to the problem
A lot can change over a decades time. I hope and believe that porn will eventually be a lot more restricted than it is today, as the societal downsides become more and more apparent.
> It takes a bunch of ‘facts’ – some of which are accurate but entirely explicable, some of which are just plain wrong – and knits them together into an ostensibly compelling narrative.

I feel a need to add that conspiracy theorists deserve no grudging credit for "ingeniously" pulling this off, any more than sociopaths deserve credit for "ingeniously" manipulating people. With little enough intellectual integrity, any dope can do it.

As an off-topic aside, did you know that the Wuchang Uprising (a key 1911 anti-Qing rebellion in Wuhan) had a coronavirus on its flag?[0] It's worth asking why the media never reported on it, and what shadowy Tongmenghui revolutionaries are behind the events of the past few years.

I have to take issue with 2) - for ethical and rational reasons I refuse to but a monetary value on people.
It's better for YouTube to show you videos that make them money instead of showing you results that you actually looked for.

Youtube is starting to become more like television, or Netflix.
It's a cost-benefit analysis, like everything else. Supporting only github more than qualifies the Pareto need for the feature, as does Discord for realtime communication. None of the alternatives you mentioned to Discord, for example, are likely to already have a client installed for the vast majority of developers; with that as a litmus, the choices are effectively Discord or Slack. When you're doing the hard calculus of how to spend your most precious resource (time) in a FOSS project, you have to weigh the costs and rewards. Only supporting Github likely has no statistically significant difference in likelihood for contributions. Similarly, hosting conversations on an unusual platform most users are not already using increases the friction of their contributions, so you choose the most popular platform.

I'm sure this project's community would welcome a contribution to mirror their git in a read-only state somewhere else, because why wouldn't they? Similarly, I'm sure they'd be fine with collaborating on setting up bidirectional chat bots so you can communicate with them as you want.

But to expect these things from a nascent project seems ridiculous. We're not talking about React or Spring here, we're talking about a brand new project who should be investing as much time as possible making their software work, not catering to every potential communications niche.

If you've decided that contributing to someone else's code on Github violates your sense of ethics or privacy, that's well within your rights and I respect you for it, but you must have enough self-awareness to recognize that that puts you in the far extreme of digital ethicists. And that shouldn't come with an expectation that your ethics have been catered to.
One optimization he made is inlining jsx createElement calls
And that's where it was taken down, if I remember correctly.
That’s why “usually” is in the sentence. :)

Most smaller teams usually don’t prioritize physical access — they usually only need it for one-off events. While this would be a one-off event, it would be one that affects many servers.
The ultimate trolley problem is one where you pull the lever to save a larger amount of people that have chosen a unsafe area while punishing a smaller amount of people that have chosen a safe area (unless someone pulls the lever)... Ultimately this is politics.

Morality is not math, but, as always, things might be more foggy: lack of free choice and a really skewed ratio (e.g. punish one to save 100 million) may test the limits of morality.

I think this is exactly why it is so maddeningly hard to engage critically with those who espouse these theories – they keep an 'authoritative' death-grip on the frame.
Does it really matter where the data sleeps at night when someone can simply SSH in from Beijing and hit a reporting DB?

Or, are we actually expecting Oracle to follow through with making this a trustworthy process?

> people don’t bucket hybrids as EVs in part because most people simply use them as ICE cars

This would warrant a "[Citation needed]", if I had any idea what source would even be acceptable to settle such a question as what portion of the system PHEV owners use their vehicle the most for.

Most PHEV prioritize battery and switch to combustion only when battery is depleted, so in short everyday trips, the ICE might never engage for instance. My personal experience in the EU was these cars mostly running at low speed in urban settings in electric mode (noise is different so you can tell)
If using S3 don't forget to setup a lifecycle policy to transition to a cheaper storage like S3 Intelligent Tiering, and possibly Glacier. Maybe just avoid One-Zone IA for better durability.
I mostly have calls while driving, so infotainment is rather secondary gadget for me. Software will be ironed out in coming months. The car is still too new. I think even parking brake was failing and recent software update fixed it.

I wouldn’t buy any current Tesla as luxury car. EQS is my favorite or BMW iX as cheaper alternative. Or 2008 Tesla Roadster :-) I know couple very wealthy individuals driving that ancient car as a statement.

Edit: about being too expensive. I doubt it. With current petrol prices in Germany my monthly saving on petrol alone will pay for electric vehicle. I forecast seeing liter for 2,5€ in winter here.
Modern versions of ejabberd and MongooseIM are much better than earlier versions in regards to scaling. But XMPP is still a mess. If you need to develop a custom messaging app, it's much better to start from a clean slate, rather than trying to fit your data and interaction models into an XMPP framework. As a transport you can use Websockets, MQTT, and/or GraphQL.

The main problems with the earlier versions of ejabberd were:

1. Using Erlang strings (linked lists of UTF32 codepoints) instead of UTF8 binaries, which led to 16x more RAM use.

2. Over-reliance on Mnesia for session management which is a maintenance nightmare when used in large clusters. Now it can be replaced by Redis or your own DB.

3. Non-scalable default implementations for mod_muc (Multi-User Chat) and mod_pubsub.

4. Absence of built-in mobile push support.

That was before WhatsApp, which later committed upstream many of their scalability improvement to the BEAM VM.

Source: I scaled an old ejabberd cluster to 500K concurrent users, and wrote my own Erlang-based Long-Polling/Websocket Pub/Sub servers and MQTT brokers scaling to 1M concurrent connections per node in a cluster. Also Elixir-based specialized messaging systems.
I think is whole platform-holder strategy is where antitrust legislation needs a significant update. We must recognize the inherent platform lock-in and the effective monopoly over the platform even if there are other platforms that the users could theoretically switch to and regulate the platform holders accordingly. Anything else would be akin to ignoring a monopoly just because alternatives are available in a different town or country.
I don't know, man. These things are death traps.
Being a Québecois, I am divided on this issue. To heavily summarize :

Pro :

- Only one level of corruption instead of two to keep in check.

- A (sometime too zealous) protection of the language.

Against :

- Less international political weight

- Companies forced to to business in french by law might gtfo since it incur costs

- Weak military power (would we stay in NATO?)

Globally :

Our roads are already crap. Healthcare is free but your experience in quality of service might vary. We already selling our natural resources like there is no tomorrow and we store nuclear waste here too.
Couldn't this also be due to the bad image of 737 Max planes crashing, price + features, or is there some further evidence that it's political?

My real gripe with the site is the font size, it's way too small. I usually have it zoomed in 150% on desktop. But maybe I ought to get some glasses as my eyesight is awful anyhow.
> Should we feel the same way about people in IT, programming and other computer related industries then they are laid off for economic reasons?

No but we should feel the same way about IT people building tracking software for the advertising industry. That is a more apt analogy probably.

> Pulling the lever makes you a murderer instead of a bystander.

Ah that, I'm not too sure about. If you have the means to avert a disaster and divert the trolley but consciously choose not to do so, you'd be a murderer either way right? The baby question really hammered it home for me, most respondents chose to have the trolley kill the elderly people instead of diverting it to the baby. Sure, you stood by and did nothing but you're STILL a murderer no matter the outcome. The minute you stand by the lever you consciously choose who's going to live or die, regardless of whether you do nothing or pull the lever. Inaction is action.
> The cars randomly blink in and out, indicating it doesn't know if the other car really exists or not.

The wild flickering of lines, obstacles, humans and cars in perfect clear daylight conditions is absolutely flabbergasting to me and erodes any trust I have into self driving capabilities. It's outright scary.

But, unlike the typical trolley problem, stopping on the side of the road comes at no cost to you or anyone else.

"this seems like a corporate driven project rather than a creator driven project"

This. It is made for profit, not for content. Disney ruined Star Wars, Netflix ruined The Witcher, now Amazon goes for LOTR... Dark ages of cinema.
Then give them their own right-of-way. Amsterdam trams go through the streets, but you're not supposed to block them. They often have their own lane (though frequently still shared with buses and taxis), and when they don't, it's because the street is too narrow, but that's usually only for a limited section of the street.

I don't think you understand how much land you need to feed 1,2,4+ million people every single day. Even at 3-4x the growth rate you wouldn't fit anywhere close to what's needed inside a city.
Life got more complicated since introduction of smartphones and tablets - it's probably order of magnitude harder to do decent mobile app than desktop one:

1) you have smaller screen estate and have to split some forms into multiple page wizards ( on desktop if you lack space you just popup yet another window wherever it popups)

2) you have to support different screen orientations (portrait, landscape)

3) you have to support corners cases like notch or foldable screens

4) you have to support different screen sizes and different screen aspect ratio (on desktop still many apps don't allow resizing and its ok)

5) you don't have precision input such as mouse where you can hover on some small button and see via tooltip what it does.

6) you don't have physical keyboard instead a virtual keyboard that on appear eats almost half of your already screen estate and covers other form controls.

7) mobile OS make limitation what you can do in the background, how much memory you can use

8) mobile OS don't allow just dragging windows and resizing, and switching windows easily using native UI
I'm pretty sure the iOS YouTube app is native.
Vaccines decrease the severity of disease.
Dreamweaver was infamously terrible until the Web Standards Project aggressively nudged the development team towards producing standards compliant HTML instead of the obtuse and verbose tag soup it generated up to that point. I think that only happened in the early 2000s.

Not as bad as Frontpage, mind you. At least initially.
I’d agree with you. If there’s gas in it, then I don’t consider it an EV.
Faster startup -> lower serverless bills for a lot of shops. Shaving 25ms off a request might not seem like it's important, but if that saves you a million serverless seconds in aggregate, you just earned a bonus.
I think the most intense part of feeling stupid is gotten over in the first couple of years of PhD. If you’ve gotten through that you’ve probably crossed a huge and insurmountable barrier between novice and expert. After that it’s not as bad bc you know you can do it again.

For me the more difficult part right now is learning how to become self motivated. Going from having my supervisor coaching me in my PhD to being basically totally unsupervised and free to work on what I want in my postdoc has been very difficult both for my work and my mental health. You have to become almost totally self reliant. You start to value and amplify every bit of motivation you get. Discipline doesn’t cut it, because a lot of academic work is impossible to force. There aren’t many mechanical aspects of it, almost all of my work requires a tonne of diverse creative thinking, even just responding to reviewer comments

Back on stupidity, one of my favourites things has become to ask “stupid questions” as a postdoc. Partly because as a postdoc, people just assume you are very smart, so there is no pressure to “look good” or “not say stupid things”. There’s something weirdly liberating about hearing a bunch of very technical questions from PhD students and then me deciding to ask a very basic conceptual question. That said there are “stupid” questions and then there are ignorant ones, and the line is often blurry
Show HN : RankMath style on-page SEO for Markdown content
People who are using Wordpress as blogging platform might know about RankMath Seo plugin.
RankMath plugin helps blogger to optimize on-page seo of the blog post.
I developed a web application to simplify the checking of on-page seo rules for markdown content.

My project is inspired by another similar project(https://github.com/apowell656/python-markdown-on-page-se) written in python
which implements most of the rules but requires installing software on your system and usage is based on the command line.
If you build on the machine you will deploy to, the tests won't pass. Problem solved.

If you build on an earlier machine where the tests pass and deploy to a later one and then don't check that the deployment works, you are at risk.

I think proper testing covers both options.
Does this apply for desktop also?
Why? Real world GeoGuesser exists…
Or Hot Dog Studio if you wanted something closer to the code.
How so? If you choose to survive, some people can certainly blame you.
Probably closer to 1999 but my first foray into web programming was Neopets. You could upload some HTML for your virtual pet and they'd host it for you. Spent ages making fancy animated text gifs from random tutorials only to realize that my friends couldn't see images that I had hotlinked to "C:\My Documents\awesome.gif". That brought me on a quest to find external hosting which led me to Spaceports.com and then IRC, mIRC scripting and then PHP... and now it's my livelihood. I just wanted to thank Neopets for giving kids the chance to program something and a non-scammy place to host it. I imagine I'm not the only one whose career was kickstarted by a virtual pet.

I remember using this site primarily to learn about HTML: https://web.archive.org/web/19990224220115/http://www.htmlgo...

Ok, very curious of others' metrics and hueristics for actions that are defensible. Mine are probably composed of:

- Net degree of suffering imposed (+ nth-order suffering imposed on eg. family)
- Thus, nervous system pain receptor net effect (cat>lobster)
- Age of individuals and thus life-years saved (baby>elderly)
- Weight of burden of (in)action on own life (++suicide risk)
- Confidence that the train will act as proposed
- Value of human life being absolute over non-life (human>bigMoney)

A clone of you, isn't you, it is by definition a copy.

You do not possess their memories when they do something else, you do not control them, you do not have their consciousness. It isn't you. When you cease to exist you do not "live on" (in the physical sense) through them, you are dead.
Running on rails is super efficient once they are in place. Less resistance, less wear and tear. For high-frequency routes, they really are great. But for new routes, trolley buses are probably a lot cheaper to set up. Maybe use trolley buses first, and only switch to trams once it's clear that this really is a high demand, high frequency route that's not going to go away.
Politics plays an important role in those awards, for example this year's awards were due to be presented at the ICM in Saint Petersburg, Russia but the ceremony was moved to Helsinki. But for this particular case, Maryna was on everyone's list and she has done exceptional work.
Not at all.

To be vulnerable, you need to build on a non-vulnerable machine which passes the built in tests, then you need to deploy to a vulnerable one and finally you have to not verify that the deployment works.

Absolutely not what you are implying.
