Unfortunately in what concerns the 3D Web, hardly anything changed.

The easiest way is to consider it as a target platform and do everything native during development and deploy to Web as last step.

From the last WebGL + WebGPU meeting, the answer given to the state of GPU debugging, it seems nothing better than SpectorJS is expected in years to come.

A bit sad when browser vendors don't see it as a priority, no wonder Indies rather go mobile native instead, or nowadays streaming, better APIs and tooling out of the box.
It doesn’t matter if their main method of communication was crop dusting entire neighbourhoods with thousands of tattooed teddy bears. What matters is the content of that speech. If you’re publicly slagging off a company that you’re contracted with (whether that’s as a supplier or employee) then that company is reasonably within their rights to say you’re bringing their image into disrepute and thus terminate that contract.

The only issue social media brings I to the equation is that it makes it much easier for silly people to post silly things to wider audiences (and easier for employees to evidence that silliness too).

Now given this employees job is support and that she’s already named the client that her employees serves, this could theoretically impact her employers renewal as a supplier (because that client are just as much in their right to terminate their contract as the employees are). Which is a pretty serious problem and might even cost her employers more than one FTE in lost revenue — in fact I’d almost guarantee that would be the financial cost to her employer in such a scenario otherwise it wouldn’t make financial sense hiring that employees to begin with.

So what would you do? Keep an employee on the payroll who is costing you more than the value they add? Also bare in mind that they’re (if I read the article correctly) still within they’re probation and thus are still yet do demonstrate themselves.

In this instance the company’s approach is correct: review her case but make it explicit that a potential outcome might be dismissal. This is exactly how a well structured HR department should operate even within territories with much stricter employment laws.

The fact that she’s still sharing internal company discussions despite now being aware of the reach is has and the potential ramifications shows a lack of remorse. And that wouldn’t help her case during the review.

Ah yes, the vaunted historic MIT culture of 'using things for what they were created to do.'
I enjoyed it a lot too. It was a different take, but I thought that apart from the very first episode, it was very good and really wanted more.
> China loses its position as the world's manufacturer

they will not because the reason japan (and the US) lost theirs is that china was cheap.

Where are you going to get this type of labour - skilled but cheap - other than china, in the next 10-30 years? Southeastern asian countries could make up some of the amount, but if they could do it today, they would've dominated already!

The repatriation of manufacturing is political propaganda - it won't work economically, as consumers' preferences is overwhelmingly for cheap goods, not expensive patriotism.
Plenty of people are.
The advice and practical suggestions of this post are great, but for those who claim to have a hard time leaving google behind regardless (without a major business or work obligation that makes it difficult), the drama is overblown. It's not only possible, it's also relatively easy. I use google for exactly four things: Two gmail addresses for random crap emails and obligatory sign-ups if I want some document (serious email goes to a protonmail address); a phone with Android built into it (invasive but meh, I keep my smartphone engagement to enough of a minimum that it isn't a huge invasion of privacy); Google maps for random addresses and youtube for music I seek (and later download anyway), which in any case can be used without signing in.

That's it. The rest is easily superfluous for most personal uses and I suspect that claiming otherwise is pure self absorbed convenience-hunting.
On a related note: A friend of mine was exposed to high co2 levels while on a freight ship. He says it is the absolute worst feeling he has ever felt, with panic and convulsions and vomiting. He survived because a colleague of his managed to get him out.

Kinda makes me wonder why it is still allowed in animal slaughter. It is cheap and gets the job done, but there must be better gasses. There are loads that just makes humans pass out, and it must be the same for animals.

I can't get my son to get excited with Scratch :(

Every time we open RPi, and I start opening Scratch, he will say, "Daddy, how about we do this" while taking over the mouse and opening a game.

When I'm not looking he'll open Chrome and play YouTube.

To be fair, once we're in Scratch, I don't even know what to do with it.

One thing to remember is that Scratch can 'kickstart' the learning process.

For kids being able to quickly display graphics and move them around offers a big buzz and gratification very quickly. With a lot of other programming languages the gratification is greatly delayed which can make people quickly abandon them unless they already have some experience in programming.

Not sure I can name another programming language that you could give a 12 year old and they would be able to self-start and would not be likely to abandon learning it if they follow the standard 'get started' guide for the language. Unity is possibly the next closest, although it is much more complex to learn.
> is now finding it's 'reality equilibrium' with the rest of the world.

the one big difference with all the previous examples is that China is authoritarian, where as the others were all (at least on paper) democratic.

China _could_ mandate the population to perform actions that the other tiger economies couldn't. I would be hesitant to assume that historical economic performance of japan and korea would give much indication to what future economic performance would be in china.
I answered that question. In short, “it’s nuanced”.

There needs to be a line drawn somewhere and the company suspending that individual while that review her case to see which side of the line she falls seems like an entirely reasonable reaction.
Fact is, people say terrific battery. And I was looking forward to terrific battery. But I get the same as what my Lenovo would give me.

The discussion about the MacBook Air and you are comparing to a MacBook Pro 14". I have both laptops and the battery life of the Air under heavier use is definitely better than a Pro. This is not surprising, the M1 Pro/Max have double the number of performance cores, the efficiency cores run at a higher clock, plus the Pro has active cooling and a brighter display. At the same time, the battery of the 14" is larger, but not twice as large (49.9 vs. 70 Wh).

I think for regular users, getting two day battery life on an Air is pretty normal. For instance my wife regularly used her Air for two work days before charging.
It is not typical in the western markets, but this kind of practice is fairly common in many markets. For example in India it works the same way, and most times the down payment is only 10%-20% or less. Generally the banks don't release parts of the money to you/developer unless certain milestones are complete. [1]

The practice of advancing money before construction completes, reduces the price for the buyer as already built properties sell for much higher than buying early. So buying early is way to buy a house when the prices are already out of reach for most. It can work if the project and financing is well regulated by the banks.

The property is cheaper[2] because these risks of delays, developer not finishing, not getting approvals so on exist and in theory is factored into the price, along with hedging future inevitable price increases.

[1] Indian real estate is by no means healthy and has its fair share of problems with these practices and delays, but not close to China's scale.

[2] In theory the risk is exactly matched by discounted price, but in practice seller will usually price it a bit higher than the value warranted by the risk factors. Also on average while it may work out, individual buyers may loose life savings as they are betting the farm literally when any specific purchase goes sour.
There's a pretty simple solution to this as well (which actually is used for the most part) - cut down the trees which are right next to the railway.

There are numerous motivations for posting.

In this case, there's a theme and a fairly strong resonance with many HN readers (myself included) who remember C&H from its original run.

Other times, there may be interesting related / associated content posted or linked. I'll occasionally submit links that have been made in comments, or that I've used in comments myself. The recent-related material may trigger stronger associations and response from the submission queue, which is pretty brutal (and often less introspective than might be hoped) to begin with.

HN karma has relatively little significance. There are hugely interesting people who participate little in the site. Others (myself included) who comment and submit a lot and are probably overrated by the points system. Good quality measures are hard to come by --- quality assessment is one of the Hard Problems.

(I've designed a few rating/moderation systems, and critiqued a number as well. There are many pitfalls to be found.)

"Urban" is too broad of a term in the US where 80% of the population is defined as urban. Needless to say, Hattiesburg, MS and New York, NY are both defined as "urban" areas but have very different ratios of land value to structure value.

I'd love someone knowledgeable on this topic to comment on how a 100 basis rate hike would affect the US's ability to service the 30T+ in debt the US currently holds. Interest payments alone already represent one of the countries biggest expenditures -- and that's at current rates. I don't see a default happening, but what about the inevitable need for austerity?
> If you don't pay, the property will be taken off you, and probably valued at a high valuation

which would contradict the assumptions that lead to the decision not to pay.

Therefore, i suspect that the (half-completed) property would indeed be worthless (even to the bank), and is not a suitable form of collateral to recover any debt from. It might be the case where the bank eats the loss - or those who stopped paying the mortgage would be forced to pay (unlikely if this is a widespread issue as it causes social unrest).

My prediction is that the state owned banks would eat the loss, and wait out the confidence crisis - which might take 10 yrs - but then real estate will resume as before as a form of investment (and the cycle begins again).

I noticed TikTok does something similar. For example, if you copy a link to a creator's page while logged in, your profile is encoded into the URL and your name and photo are displayed alongside the linked content. It's two steps to fix it - open the encoded link yourself, remove the extra data, then send the cleaned link.

Solar will require a large land-area deployment.

In absolute magnitude, it's roughly equivalent to total built area, and dual-purposing land that's already dedicated to human use rather than appropriating crop or wild landscapes has its benefits.

Not all structures can be readily retrofit, but again, blanket prohibitions on aesthetic grounds seems exceedingly short-sighted and petty.
> Of course, most US mortgages are taken out on housing units that actually exist.

To add to that, taking a mortgage for a house that doesn't already exist is a very used practice outside of China, too, I know over here in Romania lots of people do it.

It's called credit for "casa la rosu", basically all you need to show to the bank is a contract between you and the developer and a "registration" thingie for the house in question with the local city-hall (again, even if the house doesn't already exist, in practice). It comes with a price discount (I haven't kept up, I think it's in the 20-30% range, maybe bigger) but, of course, it's all very risky (or at least that's my opinion). That hasn't stopped lots and lots of people from taking those type of mortgages.
Funny thing, I had same experience. I also built robust ETL. It was for ingesting and manipulating financial data from 30+ different banks and I also did Pokemon Exception Handling to make it robust.

In general my philosophy is: I don't want to wake up at 4am unless it's urgent. What can I do to gracefully handle failures to achieve that goal?
Legality is meaningless when there was no meeting of minds when the law was drafted. Catalonia's current situation was created by an authoritarian, fascist government. The law in question was drafted without the consent of the governed, and is thus illegitimate, if it does not have ongoing consent of its constituents.

The problem in australia is slightly different - the off-the-plan builds are paid pro-rata on the construction, not in one go.

So it's still a loss for those purchasers, but the builders don't get the full payment upfront like described in china.
It’s even weirder in the UK because you agree a mortgage did say 30 years on a “standard variable rate” but then take a mortgage for say 5 years on a fixed rate or discounted “variable rate” which might last for 2-5 years. People do usually take a new “mortgage” after each period.

Weird!
well we already have this protein based vaccine Novavax 2373 with cross immune response based on prototype developed 2.5 years ago. because it not only has full representation of spike protein (unlike mRNA taking shortcut to represent S protein) but also cleavage site which is omicron BA5 immune escape from.
However big pharma politics slowed down the approval, purpose delaying US P3 trial, introducing CMC requirement 1 month before formally submitting the application. Novavax 2373 has shown superb efficacy results since Jan 2021 UK trial and follow up study showed long term protection (titers half life 9months compared to mRNA 3months). no myocarditis risk. still FDA only approved it now half year after submission blaming the company's manufacture issue while it has been distributing hundred of millions of doses worldwide
mRNA is not vaccine. it is only genetic therapy
Agreed totally with what you are saying, if they're allowed to be orthogonal. But right now they are not, it's all one thing, in most places and in how people think about it. The GP was very absolutist on how they were approaching ending one's life.

Right, the pointers would still be scanned by the GC, so we can't elliminate the cost of the GC, unless we completely turn it off (I think that is possible).

But the point of the arena allocator is to make allocations and deallocatins very fast. Say you want to allocate many small objects for a very short amount of time and then get rid of all of them. Doing it on an Arena would save a lot of computation that would be required in a typical heap allocator.
That is true for every field, the skills required to do anything is increasingly specialized.

I believe this style of coding is known as “Design by contract”. Basically assigning a range and domain to each function.
The point is that the mental overhead with memory must always be there. Why not let the language guide you?

Sure, they'll get the feature "done". And then they'll suffer for it later, adding up to much more work and a much less rewarding code base than if they'll done it properly in the first place.
"Threaded code" is not quite the same as bytecode. Usually it's a sequence of subroutine addresses that are then dispatched to, a bit similar to how vtables are implemented in high-level languages. Other implementations are possible, but tokenized systems ala bytecode are only one of many possibilities, and not usually the most common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code

i think this point is not clear to many people!

Construction companies in the USA (and the west typically) don't get paid up front 100% for the full amount, but is often paid "pro-rata" based on milestones or % completed.

The funds a released by an escrow (which the purchaser and the bank, if it's a mortgage, would choose).

The situation described in china is not like that above - the developers got paid 100% of the cost of the build upfront, by the purchaser. The bank loans the funds to the purchaser for this purpose (at 60% LVR for example).

The bank has the title as collateral - but since the property isn't built, there's no property to sell if it goes bad. It's just the land title. The reason the banks do this is because it's a politically driven mandate - the CCP in the past, wanted more construction, and this is one way to drive risk away from developers (so there'd be more developers!).
