Sounds a bit too good to be true.

Corruption in the military depots leading to overinflated reports of readiness, that I can believe.

Shortage of serviceable vehicles, shells, gun barrels, etc., leading to Moscow just giving up and rolling over seems too implausible.

Plus now that the troops have had time to dig in and erect defensive works, it seems very unlikely Ukraine will be able to throw them back without at least a 3 to 1 advantage, or willingness to suffer massive losses.

A lot of analysts believe that the most likely outcome will be some sort of Korean scenario, which I find to be more credible.
In the science fiction novel "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi, characters are always name dropping "Cadillac Desert" and talking about how prophetic and what a must-read it is.

Incidentally, I’ve heard Japan described this way as well

While I won't pretend to know as much about Japan as someone who lives there full-time, I've visited 14 times, often for several weeks at a stretch, and in real life, modern Japan is very different from the cyberpunk fantasies spread around the internet by people who have never been, and never will.

It's still my favorite country to visit, so I watch NHK World every day. But it's not the cartoon/tech/ninja cliché world promulgated online. It's actually much better.

That's fair. I didn't address that because the GP post specifically said "interstate", and I didn't feel that the parent post was critiquing the broader point that lots of infrastructure projects between the 1930s and 1980s made travel more palatable, but specifically the association of the interstate system with the 1980s.
I think an issue is HIMARS rockets are quite cheap compared to S300 ones. It's all fine using a $3m missile against a fighter jet but against half a dozen inexpensive missiles incoming they are a bit stuck.

I read somewhere the Ukrainians were mixing cheaper non guided missiles in with the guided ones to make it harder for the Russians to shoot them all down.
There's environments like Scratch, Jupyter notebooks, Minecraft, and even Roblox where kids definitely build experiences for each other. The problem is, standards have gotten a lot higher these days. When I was a kid, I fooled around and made RPGs that looked similar to the ones that my friends played on home consoles. Now a AAA game will be much more engaging than anything a kid can put together.

These days it's become much simpler to put together attractive videos which is why so many kids want to become streamers. Buy a nice camera and a few lights and you can produce media that looked like movies I watched as a kid.

I have many friends, who's not working as a programmer, but treat programming as a side job only. And what i observe the common theme from them is, they don't mind software engineering practice. What made me confusing and i think, Python actually did a good job at bringing programming to mass audience.

What's not going good, is, in Python, software engineering practice is not something to be a huge concern, so end-user hardly learn the same way about how to do thing "correctly".

That made me sad though.

> Basically, everything is an energy problem

Yes, and in the vast majority of cases the easiest way to solve an energy problem is to use less energy rather than produce more. This applies to water (where it's much easier to use it where it naturally rains), transportation, heating/cooling, etc, etc.
There's something to realize with this - playoff games are important to adults and fans, but kids don't necessarily care about the significance of the game; they'll enjoy the experience and the play of the game.

> Rust compiler that makes this behavior well-defined in a way that suits them during the transition period as C++ code is rewritten

To be clear, this is "forever". I don't think anyone involved has an expectation to truly get rid of Google's existing C++ codebase ever. So the question is, do you really want Google to fork rustc to implement some google specific UB handling? Is that good or fair to the rust community?

Even if it was, the HN comments would be along the line of "Google is using an embrace/extend/extinguish approach to force rust to do certain things bypassing the normal rust language processes", and they'd in some ways be correct! Could rust really choose different semantics from the already existing one, or would google-rust implicitly be a standard that rust would need to support?

Would that be a good idea for anyone?

> Still, Mozilla and others have gotten along just fine as it is.

IIUC, one of the driving factors behind this is that vanilla C++ is too slow, and ABI compatibility prevents up-streaming certain performance improvements. So what works for Mozilla probably doesn't work here, because what works for Mozilla has a performance penalty. Sure it's small, but that's going in the wrong direction.

Meanwhile come to aus where we have sold out energy infrastructure and our Comms infrastructure to private enterprises.

The examples of private industry doing it better with a better result for the society around them rather than just we made heaps big profits is actually slim af pickings. Private industry has way more examples of jacking prices and screwing people over than it does of doing good.

And the senators were appointed by the state governors who were also democratically elected. The president was democratically elected via the electoral college. Justices are appointed by the president who was democratically elected and the senate who were appointed by democratically elected governors.

Again, to say the US is a republic and not a democracy is incorrect. It is both, just like a Civic can both be a car and an automobile.
> it's way more sensible to use a cargo van

If I could have gotten a cargo van for an equivalent price when I bought the (used) truck I have now, I would have. But they were starting at 4x the price. I use it to haul tools and materials and a cargo van would have been so much easier.
> temporal tables … It's not a standard

To be honest, if Musk were ordered to pay the $44B today, out of his pocket, I don't think he would be able to.

All I'm saying is, even if Twitter wins (which I think they will, in the very long end), there's a long road between that decision and having the actual money (or stock or w/e) land in their hands.

On top of that, there's no way Musk could go to jail because of this (it'd be very hard to prove there was wrongdoing behind this), so there really is no pressure on him to pay the $44B, he could drag this on foreeeeveeeeeerrrr ...

With respect to cars though, they are more reliable and problems are almost certainly harder for them to fix on the road or in the home garage.

It's probably useful to have some notion of how cars operate in general. But I suspect fewer and fewer have deep knowledge and certainly the ability/interest to do their own auto repairs of any consequence.
It seems odd that the data centers would run on such tight max external temperature limits to where this causes such an issue. I am probably missing something though, anyone have insight into what is causing them to fall over so easily with these heatwaves?
Being born in 1985 and having grown up with home computers, starting with the IBM PC jr and BASIC, through to a 386 with QBasic, and then a Pentium with Visual Basic, this essay resonates with me a lot.

It's not just the actual knowledge I picked up which has served me well, but also gaining a general intuition about how computers work. Probably most important of all though is learning how to learn. It's this skill that I am sure I will rely on most over time as my esoteric knowledge becomes more and more irrelevant.

Seriously. That "Downsides: Code leakage" point is nonsensical.

```
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW active_customer AS
SELECT *
FROM customer
WHERE
deleted_at IS NULL
OR deleted_at <= NOW()
;
```

There, I fixed it.

Just use `active_customer` instead of `customer ... deleted_at IS NULL`.

In fact, since the deleted_at column is a timestamp, the original "leakage" query:

```
SELECT *
FROM customer
WHERE id = @id
AND deleted_at IS NULL;
```

is actually broken. A non-null `deleted_at` timestamp that's in the future implies the record hasn't been deleted yet, right?

I've often had junior devs assert that views are some kind of code smell, but these sorts of "canned query/filter that you want to apply very very often" seem like the perfect use case for a view to me. It's DRY, and the fact that your standard "query" is in the database" means you can change it more readily than trying to make sure you hit all the points it might be embedded in the application code.

> I feel like a lot of developers underutilize the capabilities of the massively advanced database engines they code against

Early-ish in the JDBC days a senior dev I was working with at the time (as a junior dev myself) made a pretty good case that "the database is part of the application" that's always stuck with me. Full database independence via software level abstractions is a pretty silly goal outside of library code. If you have a service that makes extensive use of the database, don't throw away the database features in the interest of some abstract "we could swap out oracle with mysql without changing anything" objective. If you want it to be generic, use the SQL standard, but don't be afraid to have a few db-specific bits in the app code if that's a subsystem you might replace once a decade or something.

I blame the DBA/Dev divide for a lot of this. A lot of the impedance between these layers is social/procedural. If you can change the DB as easily as the code, there's a lot less fear of using the right tool for the specific job.

Ask HN: Not Paying a Medical Bill?
I got billed by a medical facility for providing services that I literally never got on a certain date this year. The last time I visited them was years ago.

They never billed my insurance provider (it seems they never got my new info), so i can’t dispute through them.

After talking with them on the phone, they just tell me they are sure they billed the right person. And insist i pay.

Anyone had this situation before? What would you do? If this was just a trivial $20 bill I would pay it but it is hundreds.

There is often a lot of overlap between libertarians and the far right, including the racist faction of the right. A libertarian might say for example that a hospital, school, or restaurant should be allowed to operate as "whites only". I think the vast majority of people identifying as libertarians would fall farther on the right side of the spectrum than the left with economic/pro-corporate/small government views being the primary driver.

As for not having a left/right spectrum of political views at all, I think it's somewhat inevitable in a (de facto) two party system, but it's worthwhile to acknowledge that virtually nobody is going to fit comfortably on one side or the other. People have tried for ages to come up with more nuanced multi-axis representations of where people fall within political spectrum, but even then it often just works out to carving out specific flavors of left/right.

SPA means "Single Page Application", I don't spend much time defining it but defer to Tom Wright's definition, about which he says:

> The SPA pattern (Single-Page Apps), I tried to define, was about the React model, which also covers, to a large extent, the model of Vue, Angular, and other frontend frameworks.

I created an alternative to AngularJS, Meteor, Knockout and Ember.js back in 2013 called intercooler.js. It used hypermedia as the communication mechanism with the server, rather than JSON. I wrote the library in JavaScript because that's what was there. In 2020 I rewrote the library to eliminate the jQuery dependency and clean it up and renamed it to htmx, since I had figured out that it was a generalization of HTML as a hypertext.

I think that's a pretty good summary of what happened.
Was there a glorious past when bike thefts were taken seriously?

Hetzner deserves way more attention in the VPS space. They offer an equivalent configuration for just €5.32/month, and I'm not even rounding anything down.

And for about the same price that AWS offers for their weak boxes ("~$27.45/mo"), Hetzner will give you 8 vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM... Yes, the IPv4 cost is excluded, but it's only €0.61/month if you even want to have it.

> When vigilantism is the only justice available you’re living in a failed state.

What you're observing isn't a 'failed state'. The apparatus of the state is working quite fine, and the state is completely capable of enforcing its will on its subjects. [1]

What you're observing is the police doing their job[2] (Which is protecting the state), and not the job you want them to do (protecting you and yours.)

[1] The definition of a failed state is one that is incapable of enforcing its will on its subjects. Which is what you see in, say, 2021 Afghanistan, where the central government is only theoretically in charge, with Taliban rebels actually being able to enforce their will on the country. There's a categorical difference between 'can't' and 'can't be arsed to' - and you're observing the latter.

[2] Why doing that job entitles them to half of your municipal taxes is an exercise for the reader.
Looked this up. A standard serving of wine is 5 fl oz. Two servings a day makes 10 fl oz, and let's say we're talking about a household of two adults for 20 fl oz. At $20 per 750 mL bottle, that's $15.77 a day or about $5757 a year. I think that's well beyond the range of affordability for the median household, even in wealthy countries like the United States.
Thanks for sharing and for your work on intercooler.js and htmx!

I share your sentiments about SPAs, and I've been trying to get back to a simpler web stack.

One of the hurdles I keep running into with libraries like htmx and Alpine is that they don't play nicely with Content Security Policy. And I'm reluctant to forfeit CSP to use a JS library since CSP is the most robust solution I've found for preventing XSS.

Alpine is working on a CSP-compatible build, but it hasn't been released[0] and doesn't seem to be a priority.

htmx is compatible with CSP, but it effectively reverses the protection it offers. The attacker can inject JS through htmx directives.[1] I know there's hx-disable, but this degrades CSP's effect from "secure by default" to "secure when the developer remembers to mark the subtree as containing user-controlled data."

Is there a way to use htmx without forfeiting the benefits of CSP?

The usefulness of science as a means to discover things about the universe is a pretty solid belief.

I think it’s a function of information overload. It’s all just too much for people, so they look for the quickest “conclusion” in the truest sense of the word, i.e. the interpretation that allows them to end the discussion and no longer be bothered about it.

The internet, it seems to me, is the primary cause of this information overload. And it also makes it so much easier to just “swipe left” on people. In the real world, in a local community, you would not have been able to just walk away from conflict. But in the internet, you almost have to do it to stay sane.

Show HN: I built a handheld CHIP-8 game console to teach myself embedded systems
A while back I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator (which is considered the Hello, World! of emulators and is more accurately a virtual machine since historically CHIP-8 was an interpreted language running on top of the COSMAC VIP to make game programming easier).

But a few months ago I got really interested in embedded software, so decided it would be neat to port my emulator to a STM32 MCU and design a console around it as a learning experience, since CHIP-8 never existed as a physical system.

I didn't know much about embedded software when I began, and even less about electronics, but I managed to write all the firmware from scratch and even designed my first PCB, resulting in a finished (though not very polished) handheld CHIP-8 console.

For those curious, the GitHub repo also has links to my dev blog about the project as well as a build guide.

Thanks for looking!
