The title is literally an SPA Alternative. Should the title then not be updated to an SPA framework, since it isn't an alternative. That is like saying Microsoft Word is an alternative to word processors.
Always use a temporal database (datomic, postgres with temporal_tables extension). You get out of the box the full history of your data. That is really helpful for business intelligence and analytics, auditing / audit log (security, accountability), live sync & real-time features and as a bonus easy recovery after application fails.

If disk gets to full, project the latest time slice into a new database and move the old database onto a cold storage.
> if there was a large demand for "cheap Disneylands"

There is a large demand for cheap family entertainment, and a lot of supply.

It doesn't look a lot like “city sized theme park with exclusively licensed characters from major popular media” because...that's inherently not cheap to operate, so people trying to do it either end up being expensive, or go out of business (and the universe of defunct theme parks is a testament to the latter outcome.)
I think betting on efficiency is essentially the same fallacy that he identifies in the article - that the future will solve the problems we create today.

There’s also the mental exercise one can take of can we make GDP -> inf in a constrained system. Of course not. There are limits. Economics assumes no limits on growth. That’s absurd on the surface. Just like I can’t super saturate sugar into a water solution beyond a certain point, I can’t materially transform the
material provided by the earth into useful economic production irrespective of the earths limits. That seems pretty much vacuously true.

Hence his point.
I don't understand why something being "niche" or "not really interesting" has any relevance when asking if it is a hypermedia technology. You assert that "it's not consuming generic REST APIs" but that's exactly what it is doing as far as I can tell, unless you define "generic" to mean "HTML".

I dunno, I'm probably not smart enough to understand what you mean. In my mind, if it satisfies the constraints outlined by Fielding in Chapter 5 of his dissertation, it's a RESTful network architecture, and, as far as I can see, hyperview satisfies those constraints.

Maybe you can simplify it for me and point to the specific constraint in there that hyperview doesn't satisfy?

Again, I'm sorry to be so dense.
Just like Facebook is dead according to everybody.

When you look at the numbers they don't lie, the Meta platforms reach 3B people and expanding.

Numbers don't lie, bloggers and people who predict the demise of Facebook should just admit to themselves that their passion for the new niche app such as Mastodon or the Web3 scams or whatever thing is putting itself out there as a FB competitor are late to the game.

They'll have a shot in 50 years when everybody would have reached the same wealth and comfort level of people writing from their bubble of wealth thinking that regular people have the same luxury as them to be concerned about FB data policy or how it's not decentralized enough.
If we never did anything until we fully understood all the ramifications forever, we’d literally have never existed. I’m not saying ‘don’t figure out what will happen next’. That’s dumb.

I’m saying ‘don’t set some impossible to achieve goal and fall into analysis paralysis while doing things with far worse known outcomes right now’. Because that is also dumb.

We know putting it in giant steel casks is pretty much foolproof, and will ensure no leaks for at least 40+ years. They’re literally bulletproof. It’s what every major reactor has been doing for 40+ years. Works surprisingly well.
Well, it's not the only issue. Without GPS tracking or bike registries bike theft is legitimately a very hard problem for police to deal with, so they're used to relying entirely on getting cyclists to use better locks.

The situation has changed though, and they certainly deserve criticism for failing to change their attitude.
Abstractions are amazing until they break and you have to fix them.
Building infrastructure can be a good investment, but that doesn't mean it does anything to help inflation. Massive government spending would probably make the situation worse, because it puts more money in people's pockets to further drive up costs
Yes. Guns increase the amount of killings. Too have a gun in a controlled place like a space station was craziness and a catastrophe waiting to happen.

I understand that some people like guns, but their lack of acceptance of the consequences is childish. I guess that so many shootings were kids die have created a cognitive dissonance on many gun owners. They want to see guns as "only for good" meanwhile kids die.
You’re right - codified was a poor word to use as the exception was not written into law but established with a Supreme Court ruling.

Major League Baseball’s anti-trust exemption was formally established 100 years ago and has been upheld by multiple subsequent rulings.

The necessity of the exemption is currently being explored by the Senate Judiciary Committee who has requested a formal justification for the exemption as it applies to minor league baseball from commissioner Manfred. [1] Being the only professional league operating in the United States that has an anti-trust exemption, it should be interesting to see what justification MLB comes up with in the context of current labor law.

Yes, but this isn't "science reporting". It's a single site, the Scottish Sunday Post, that reported on a single pre-print paper with a small data set from a single research group on a boat doing some sampling and analysis in the Caribbean.

"Science reporting" is not analogous to "the police" since the police are a single entity. Let's leave aside, as we know from recent tragedies, that we know the police lie in the media frequently. But by the same standard, this is a problem of the general public confusing random publications in a Scottish newspaper as science reporting. Let me know when this happens in Nature. I don't think the science desks at the BBC or the NYTimes would have even published this, either. Those are the science media. Calling this science reporting is a category error.
The issue is the title which is incorrect.
I'm sure BDArmory could get you most of the way there.
The Petco Park-in-the-Park is now $20 wow, used to be $5.
I wonder what would happen if Security became a compiler flag?

For instance, just like the -O1 or -O3 flags work for optimization, something like a -S1 or -S3 would be really useful.

To me, there are lots of times when I just need to get an idea into code. Then there are times when I need to make sure that code just works™.

Having different compiler flags would really make that nice, and for devops, allow anything pushed to production have to complete a -S3 successfully first.
> I believe they went with this method because it's easier for non-scientists to contribute to their study.

Which should probably cast their study in an even more negative light. Even ignoring the fact that the samples were collected contrary to a standard method, we can't be sure the samples collected by random people were actually all done in a similar way as each other.
I thought this was going to be about finding an off-by-one error and there were actually 100 red balloons, but that's probably a different system.
The United States Census Bureau's official population counts, as I've said, use very broad groups to categorize ethnicities which is not reflective of just how many groups of people live in the United States. Korea has an idea of how many Koreans are living in the United States currently [1] and you can probably type just about any sort of ethnicity, nationality, or race, and find some estimates or information about their presence in the United States. The Census Bureau does perform (unofficial) surveys that can give you a glimpse of the demographics in the US [2] [3] as well.

We have the largest population of immigrants in the world [4] and the nation is comprised almost entirely of non-indigenous people. The fact that the US is incredibly diverse is not controversial to anyone that is even modestly informed.

>I've rarely seen someone upset about social, economic or political issues that don't affect them.

I’ve seen it a lot, some of the most vehemently lefty Marxists I’ve known or met came from very well off backgrounds. Class guilt is very much a thing. I’m fact the dissociation between middle class socialists and actual working class people has become a significant factor in UK politics recently.
There’s a Platform Studies book about Minitel, “Minitel: Welcome to the Internet.” I haven’t read it yet, but so far I have a more-than-half rate of enjoying Platform Studies books, so I’m hoping.

so where are the heartwrenching anecdotes about heart disease or cancer deaths? otherwise you're just projecting a recency and availability bias. but none of that matters for how we, and especially the press, should have handled the topic.

no country has "significantly lower"-ed anything. at most, we have slightly different diffusion curves, but mortality and morbidity rates are going to be pretty similar regardless of how we were "fighting it". every single person on earth will get covid at some point. at best, we've delayed that point a little bit for some people, not to mention some shifting of mortality. note that liver disease and chirrosis deaths rose last year - why aren't we making video montages and pouring one out for them, or their orphaned children, again?
Then we should celebrate that the gun has been removed. It was a danger for everybody.
Isn't it the problem of UI, though. If the user would be informed about the consequences (possibly with bold red font and with a confirmation checkbox) would they still click that button?
The flip-side of this decay in the richness of the experience is that things are more idiot-proofed for mass consumption.

So if the bear is outside of the capsule and you're safely (for now) inside it, do you risk going outside to get the gun? Or do you wait for the bear to peel open the capsule like a can of sardines?
Lay down in the bed and nobody will see.
for plant foods yes.

for meat it is different, usuallu people do not like to eat it without applying technology (heating (baking), salting, spicing with plant products, saucing with plant products) to it.

we do not actually like meat in its raw form, or when we have to manually strip it from animal bones.

But it isn't an SPA framework, it's a generalization of HTML as an alternative to SPA-style frameworks. It's very different conceptually, as different as mobile apps and web 1.0 apps at the network architecture level.

I understand that this approach will not appeal to a lot of folks, but on the other hand that's because it is so different than what most of the industry is doing.

I hope I understand your criticism correctly here.
Yeah that intuition is invaluable. It's what makes us the family "computer guy/girl", and is why we can help someone who uses some piece of software every day, that we have never seen before, figure out how to do some thing they want to do.

I try to tell people this, when I help them - I don't know everything about every piece of software, I just have a sense of what the operation they want to do will probably be like, and the confidence to poke around until I find it because I also have a sense of what is likely to be a destructive operation.
How is it more economical to drive the truck and car instead of just the truck?

I wonder if people realize how low Firefox marketshare has fallen, or if people are stuck in a 2010s-era idea of what the web browser landscape is like. I also think the prevalence of Firefox among the (overall tiny) desktop Linux demographic tends to warp developer perspectives.

It's under 4% - for all intents and purposes a dead browser. I certainly wouldn't devote any engineering hours towards supporting it.

Well, yeah, just like an empty battery isn't necessarily a bad thing; it means it has been used, which is probably better than having prevented it from being used, but ... still worrying, in the sense of having ran out of storage/capacity. Not very convinced of this point.

I'm not Hotz but he I've watched a bunch of his interviews and the basic problem is that there are no buyers for "no bullshit technology".

Pretty much every car maker (GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, VW) has already invested in at least one self-driving company.

All those self-driving companies have the same technical plan and business strategy: lidar, high-precision maps, it has to be level 4 or nothing at all. They're also decent at selling that plan via powerpoint, tech demos and test deployments.

I think at least 2 years ago Zoox gave a demo to a tech journalist (who produced a slick YouTube video out of it) and you would think that the technology is almost ready to go.

More than a year ago MobileEye CEO gave a talk at a mobile conference and showed a video of a car impressively navigating busy streets of Jerusalem. You would think that the technology is almost ready to go.

Comma, like Tesla, has "no lidars, no maps, ship intermediary products and use real data from real drivers to improve the technology, cheaply".

To me it's an obviously winning strategy.

To 99% or car CEOs it apparently isn't.

Therefore they are not in the market for comma and won't be until it becomes obvious that their approach is failing and comma's approach is winning.

So his position is more a sober assessment of lack of clue in major car maker execs and he decided that instead of playing the game of power point and pretend for the unlikely event of a car maker buying from them, he'll focus 100% on better engineering and winning in the long term by having obviously better product.
It sounds like a very similar situation to Seattle. While living there, it was remarkable to me how useless and/or hostile the police felt compared to the police in other cities. I've been threatened multiple times while going home late at night and it was never the police that actually helped. I'm convinced we really need to get better at helping each other as a community rather than relying primarily on the police.
This is pretty lame BS. I am literally right in the middle of building a public web app (also for a bank) that does not have any sort of arbitrary user agent constraints.

As long as your browser supports reasonably-modern things like flexbox and media queries, my app is just going to work on your machine. Even if it doesn't support these things, I don't see any reason to artificially get in the way of something you might otherwise be able to string along regardless.

I roll 100% vanilla JS/CSS these days so that I can avoid getting entrapped in the kinds of hells that likely entrapped these mbna web developers. It is quite possible they use some JS framework that has a tight dependency on a certain cohort of browser vendors & versions.
It's pretty easy to solve the foreign key issue (where you need to write elaborate DELETE queries to avoid breaking foreign keys) in Postgres using deferrable constraints. Just start a transaction, run "SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED," delete rows from various tables in any order, then commit the transaction. The DELETE statements will effectively ignore the foreign key constraints, but any remaining "broken" foreign keys will be caught when the transaction commits.

The ocean is 41 million square miles. That's 82,000 square miles per sample, from only 13 ships, or over 3 million square miles per ship.

The accuracy of their model would have to be incredible, assuming those boats weren't jet powered racing boats.

It would be interesting to see the coordinates of each sample. I assume we'll see something unimpressive since, as the article points out, the data containing many times the samples does not agree, suggesting this did not use the appropriate statistical methods/sampling.
Triggers don't solve what the author's getting at, i.e. who knows what else outside this database changes upon deletion that would need to be reversed? It's all in the article.
> And only one product was sold, rather than multiple. It allowed Apple to have consistent messaging without needing to explain the differences between each product, nor did Apple have to create new packaging for each version. It's similar to 2007; when the iPhone released, there was only one iPhone, not the variety we have today. You either wanted it, or you didn't. Period.

I think you are trying to simplify it more than required. At iPhone's first ever launch, there were no other versions; hell, iPhone was not even ready in Jan 2007. That's why Apple pushed the release date by 6 months.

Now, going by your message of consistency, why there were so many versions of iPod? Even Jobs was alive at that time.

This more or less describes me. I switched after graduation (nearly 20 years ago) more because I realized I didn't enjoy it that much, and I already had done a bunch of programming for a while, which I did enjoy. I only realized the financial upside later.

When I'd hear over the years from friends who'd stayed in EE/CE fields, it did indeed sound way more stressful than what I had to deal with, even though there was a lot of stress in my jobs as well.

The comma body is the first “intermediary” for the new mission. It’s also the pathway to supporting all cars that a human can drive. The endgame of comma isn’t a box that sits on your windshield, it’s a robot person that gets in the driver’s seat. And it will be able to do a lot more than drive.

Appears to me to be a distracting pivot. Especially given the “Stay Focused on the Mission” statement in the part 1 article (which are worse examples, but still I think relevant).

Writing stable, production-ready software is a grind. The personalities in software teams are often grumpy. I know many junior engineers who loved writing code and were dismayed at what went into writing production-grade software. Some of them moved to startups where the stakes were lower or they could work on MVPs, many transitioned into roles like PM or sales engineer, but a decent chunk just left software altogether. I love software so I won't leave but I know it's not for everyone.
It's a minor thing, but I do find it odd that they use PascalCase for function names when the C++ standard library uses snake_case.
