I just used "dev experience" yesterday when I was going to use "DX" at first, just in case someone didn't know the term. I thought I was being silly and that by now everyone would know the term, but apparently I did the right thing to be a bit over paranoid here! Thanks for confirming:

Pardon me for ignoring the implied "please ignore", but I'm very curious what "typedream" refers to? The only references I can find online are to a website builder platform, but the name sounds like it could represent a client app or maybe even a keyboard?
It's the cheapest phone that's actually worth buying and I say this as somebody who really wanted to like android and used it for at least five years, especially during the golden age of Nexus 5. The iPhone SE is exactly what a new Nexus 5 should be if anybody would be willing to build it, but nobody will.

Octavia Butler paints a gruesome picture of societal collapse in her Earthseed series: Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents that mirrors some of the points made in this article.
No thanks, I don't have tinnitus and want to keep it that way.

I don’t know the numbers, the thought experiment on the last point:

Imagine that without ice the ambient temperature is 5 degrees C. And that the area being ice rather than dark colored rock causes a drop of about 10 degrees C.

So the ambient temperature in the area is under 0. But as it melts for reasons then this cooling effects disappears and now the thing is basically gone forever.

Not commenting too much on the actual theory but you could easily imagine an ecosystem disappearing due to these kinds of changes

I am not a big blockchain proponent, quite contrary. But you forgot the function of (more or less) unregulated money movement. It is used that way by laypeople from China, Russia, Iran and other authoritarian/sanctioned countries.
Some do, some don't. Some of my relatives still wear all of the dress, have most of the customs, and live very simple lives but drive cars and use electricity. Some look exactly like you or or I but still have a lot of the cultural values.

Other much more distant relatives in nearby communities don't use electricity or any modern technology and speak mostly Pennsylvania Dutch.
Yeah I hear you, and that’s why I framed it as a cultural belief (of your social bubbles) not a national belief.

I’m not friends with a random sample of people in Melbourne. And I bet you aren’t either. Your high school will be skewed based on the ethnicity & socioeconomic status of the area. And they’re all the same age. 36 year olds have different pub conversation topics than 18 year olds or 80 year olds.

People from Sydney (where I grew up) often ask what Melbourne is like. I honestly don’t know what the average person here is like. But I really like the specific people I’ve befriended.

At some point “why do all my friends talk about boring things” should become “why don’t I have more interesting friends?”. And I don’t think Melbourne (or SF) has any shortage of interesting people no matter what you’re interested in. But you do have to put effort in to look.

Making friends as an adult is harder than it was in high school. If you haven’t made that effort in Melbourne, I don’t think to entirely blame Melbourne for your boring friend group.
> The pamphlet patiently explains that you’re allowed to photograph anything visible from public land.

this might be true in the USA but it is definitely not true in Japan. People's right to privacy trumps your right to take pictures in public. In crowds it's usually not a problem but make a particular person the subject of your photo and you could easily get in trouble. Same for buildings if you publish the photo

The "8 years of shelling" talking point is one of the dumbest, I have trouble imaging who would believe it. We both know that Russia doesn't care even about its own people, let alone anyone else, with the sinking of Kursk and sieges of Nord-Ost and Beslan being shining examples of that. The indiscriminate destruction of large cities in Eastern Ukraine full of ethnic Russians is just another datapoint.

According to the UN, civilian deaths in Russian war on Donbas were 25 in 2021, lowest since the war began in 2014. How many have died in 2022?

If Russia wanted to stop needless bloodshed, all it had to do was to pull its armed forces out of Ukraine and leave rest of the world alone. Nobody wants to be a part of your pathethic "Russian world" of poverty and hopelessness, and now that everyone's seen the true "might" of Russian army, you've become a laughing stock of the world. Nobody even pays attention to the threats you make in regard to Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
Just like the comment that he was replying to did?
I'm not sure why they're delaying things by focusing on making it wireless "so it can be wearable". A few years ago I wore a portable heart monitor for a three days and it was very much wired and it was fine, you get used to it. If you have a useful medical device that can help people then release a wired version now and go for wireless later if you really want to.
Uh? Try reading my comment again. That the federal reserve in principle could print unlimited money is irrelevant here.
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter associated with prediction of reward (aka desire/craving/addiction). Serotonin is very complex (in humans) but more about social-emotional processing.

Dopamine is the neurotransmitter you’re thinking of. And also glutamate since glutamatergic firing in brain reward pathways are heavy associated with addiction
Computers take input, process (compute) and produce output. The brain in many ways is the same except it is self-aware, capable of original thought, self-destruction, output without reason or input, processing information arbitrarily without any input or prompt and most importantly: question itself and the world around it and develop new programs to evaluate and process previously unseen input to generate desired output.

You can continue to keep calling it a computer but that is like calling an ICBM a projectile or the planet earth a big rock with water on it. Technically correct but those aren't the best or most specific and descriptive way of refering to these things.

Perhaps the better question is: Is the computer a brain? Not yet!
I use technology, rather than allowing it to us me - as does my family. We're Orthodox Jews, but more than that we (as in my family) fail to see the majority of the utility most technologies provide. Effort saving technology is fantastic - but many others simply get in the way of the type of life I'd like to live, rather than reinforce it. While I love my Sabbath - I don't personally think that the forced disconnection from electronics is the healthy habit people need - regardless of my personal religious inclination. Establishing and reinforcing their primary selves over the years, while learning to use technology seems to be the real need, something that permeates due to lifestyle.

My children play with their friends, in meatspace. They co-ordinate doing so with WhatsApp or Telegram. This is the healthy balance. What they don't do is spend unending amounts of time playing video games, watching movies, or ever play a mobile game. They go to the movie theatre, or watch <insert streaming thing> with their friends should they want. But they don't do this every single day. Some use Khan Academy for play-based learning, all use their eBook readers for the unlimited books on whatever topics may interest them, for when we're out of treepubs.

Our trees are watered via a bluetooth drip irrigation system. Our groceries are delivered once ordered via an application. They walk to the local market to buy fresh in-season vegetables when we run out. During the week, when we study Torah we can access the history of exegesis through tablets. On Shabbat and Holidays we use books. It's balance.
MPow does a surprisingly good job, at least for headsets. Most of this stuff doesn't cost a lot of money, just thoughtful engineering.

It absolutely happens. I've seen the anonymized data from an OEM you know.
Some of these prediction contracts can be resolved using a decentralized oracle (I know this is the model Omen was trying to implement).

But even if there is a trusted entity involved, a smart contract I can interact with directly using blockchain transactions is better than having to provide my picture, passport and SSN to some company that builds a database of all my trades. This problem is even worse if I move to a jurisdiction where you need to be accredited to play, or where prediction markets are illegal.

For many of these financial applications, crypto/blockchain isn't strictly necessary, but it can be very useful.
The virtual DOM idea is nowadays a myth. It stems from the time when Facebook was still a Web App and was running on IE8 and IE6.

It was a decent idea to optimize for these browsers and FB's nature of featuring hundreds of comments etc. that could be updated somewhere outside your view port and cascade nevertheless into repaints and reflows. Remember the FB feed?

I also worked on virtual DOM optimizations back then for these IEs, but have long since abandoned optimizations. I take it with Svelte: https://svelte.dev/blog/virtual-dom-is-pure-overhead

Also Google sheets results show overall, that DOM is faster than any virtual DOM, so why produce overhead? https://millionjs.org/benchmarks

Virtual DOMs are a thing that people long time ago forgot why and for what technology it was invented. Then came Google Chrome and their optimizations.

For benchmarks, I think this is still the best around: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...
Not to take anything away from the page. It was nice to see some great names in there. And honestly the list is a testament to massive value given to the community. I’ve learned so much.

However, I love seeing tech hard-hitters throw in a message or two and who I see have low karma. Or people who have been here for ages and just quietly do their thing. Karma probably helped move it forward (great guide of quality from a high level) but it’s come at a cost. When people start to compete for the karma and not to build the community, we lose something. PaulG, for one.

I had this fantasy that there’s a YC-only version that rhymes with the public HN.

It doesn’t in macOS.

For support, I have Bruce's First Law. I formulated this on my first ever day at work, and been solid ever since.

"never believe a word they say."

Bug reports, feature requests and so on are riddled with lies. Some overt, some covert, some by omission. These days we have remote access tools (the single greatest invention in the history of computing support.)

People lie. It's what they do. Never believe a word they say. Verify before acting.

To chime in with my personal experience, I did actually lose almost two days on hunting down an unintended copy constructor call.
The method expected a "const B&" but was called with a "const A&". It also happened to be called a lot. The actual type names were longer and very similar, and looking at the code it was hard to see they were different. Type B had a copy/conversion constructor from type A so every time the method was called all of the data contained in A would be cloned.
I was very relieved when I finally found the issue but also wished that C++ wouldn't call (possibly expensive) constructors so hiddenly, even going so far as to not only do that for value types but even for reference types.
We both know that money is an abstraction. So are shares.

> You're asking if one abstraction (ownership of a piece of a factory, land, or other business) ever needs to be converted into another (fiat money) to be worthwhile.

I'm really, really not. I'm saying that the act of buying a share with money you already have is zero-sum if that share can never be expected to pay back some sort of dividend.

Shares are only superior as value-stores to fiat currency because they have an expected value higher than their cost. The reason they do so is either because you expect to be able to sell them for more to the next sucker (zero-sum), or because you expect some kind of benefit out of it (dividends of some sort). But beyond that, there are plenty of zero-sum stores of value, like gold, Bitcoin, or unproductive land.

In a fictional world where shares never pay any dividends, they are strictly worse than fiat currency. They are absolutely subject to inflation - it's called share dilution, and it happens all the time. They are not inherently tied to the means of production, because if they did, you could expect to extract some surplus value from the means of production - for them not be able to pay dividends they must be in some intrinsic way alienated from production, whether by speculation or whatever else may be.

> As a footnote, in the acquisition scenario, someone ultimately gets something they want. If I have a company with 1000 acres of land, five pieces of mining equipment, and so on, at the very end, it gets carved up into that stuff. That stuff has real, tangible value.

It only has real, tangible value beyond the price you paid for it if you manage to get some productive out of it and extract a surplus out of a production eventually down the line (profit, dividends, etc...). If it remains a dead asset, its value is unrealized and zero-sum.
Is it better in other country who rely on the money brought by international students?
Interesting. I have memories of seeing them on the highway, but never considered they were one in a million.
At least (I hope) you weren't still using Bower.
the environment doesn't have any money to lobby with. we make money out of it.

fossil fuel lobby though... they have billions of reasons to lobby against nuclear, to the point that they may give eco-terrorists money to do their work for them. can't say this happened, but see Germany - it's the least effort rational explanation.
This is starting to sound like market manipulation.

Make it a third. Keep buying monitors until productivity peaks.

Then add one more. For YouTube.
I would think the point is that if nuclear costs more money, it's suggestive that it doesn't really use less resources than other options that cost less.
Of course, that's not entirely true, as some of the costs for nuclear are insurance, which isn't priced particularly rationally, and of course, for human expertise, but that's arguably a far more scarce resource as are land and raw building materials - i.e. if you're using highly-skilled human brain power to design/build/run nuclear power plants, it prevents us from using that brain power to do other potentially more productive things (which might include coming up with better solutions for our environmental challenges).
To be clear - I'm quite supportive of more nuclear power, but certainly not because it uses less land or resources.

More renewables requires more slave labor from China. If we produced those solar panels here under US environmental and labor regulations, nuclear would be very competitive. That we have to buy them from China for solar power to even make remote economic sense here in the US should tell us something.

A counter question to yours: How many Chinese slave laborers would you tolerate before you'd accept another Chernobyl style disaster as a tradeoff? When you talk about substituting solar power for nuclear power, that's exactly the tradeoff you're making.
It’s not always without reasons. Russian and Chinese traffic represents most other automated attacks when you operate a western server.
Depending on your perspective, the airplane is not successful until we figure out how to do it sustainably. We may yet have to go back to lighter than air flight, which arguably has precedent if you count aquatic life, i.e. swim bladders.

Unless we start making the sustainability of our technology a success criteria, we'll never achieve it. Many biological systems are different precisely because they are constrained to run within an overall sustainable system.

Maybe human tech ~is cyclically sustainable on a long enough timescale, but I certainly ~hope we're not going mostly to die off and live without technology until the forests grow back and microorganisms in the oceans turn into oil.
Yes! I only added my company link when I saw your post, and that you stripped githubs etc.
they built too cheaply, ignored safety procedures and blew the thing up in the process.

But really, you might think living a 1000 years is extraordinary, however, the soul (or the life we have in each of us, including you and me) is immortal. When we die, it's simply the body that is discarded. But life itself never perishes. The soul takes multiple births in new bodies and this process of life and death goes on and on until the soul merges with the supreme conciousness. So what's the proof for all this? Well, there's nothing to prove it as false either.

Modern science disregards things that it cannot experience and "see the proof of" for itself. But that's like a person who lacks sensual perceptions saying stimuli that interacts with their senses does not exist. For example, if a blind person says light does not exist or a deaf person says sound does not exist. They might even deny its existence despite you telling them otherwise, that's because they cannot experience it for themselves. So who's to blame them?

Similarly, we are kept from higher understanding due to our inability to experience. That does not mean it does not exist. It simply means we are incapable.

There are many fantastic things in this universe that science knows it cannot understand and even more things that science does not even know exist.
Past advancement is not necessarily an indication of future advancement. Battery tech is still exploring ways to improve Li batteries, but capacities have stopped increasing dramatically as far as I know. Even worse, even at the theoretical maximum capacity for these types of chemical batteries, there just aren't enough resources on Earth to build enough to cover the storage requirements of a huge grid.

Now, is it possible that a new type of battery will appear and take over the market by 2030? Yes. Will there be enough of them to compete with the stabilizing power of a nuclear power plant? Maybe. Will there be enough nuclear + storage so that the best use of that storage will be to shut down the nuclear plant? Absolutely not.

Basically, we need massive amounts of new electrical power (so we can transition transportation to electrical), and we need to shut down all fossil fuel power generation yesterday. Since we can't have enough storage yet for an exclusively green grid, nuclear shouldn't be competing with green energy in this discussion. Our choices are not "all green by 2030 VS green by 2030 + nuclear", they are "green + coal/gas by 2030 vs green + nuclear + less coal/gas". If we're instead talking about 2100, or 2200, then yeah, well probably be able to shut down nuclear as well.

For me, programming not only brings me pleasure, it also brings me peace of mind. Programming can quickly put me in a state of mind flow.

My most recent experience was when I was learning Next.js. As a distributed database engineer, I nearly have no knowledge of web development, but I really want to show some database demos on the Web. So one night, I began to learn Next.js from scratch - I tried to connect to the database, query the result and then render the chart. After I deployed the application on Vercel, two hours had passed.

I felt tired but very excited. I believe this is the pleasure of programming :-)
Notes from the Book “The Shallows”
The Amish have the right idea. If the point of helpful technology is to help us to better achieve our goals, the fact that we find ourselves drawn to devices like moths to flames strongly implies that the technology is not helpful. If even well-educated technologists unthinkingly find themselves filling free time with mindless (i.e. without prior prefrontal cortex planning) browsing, what chance is there for other folks? It's not a dignified way to be--we're just big rats pressing glowing levers to get dopamine spikes.

Very interesting blogs though!
Sure, I'm aware of spam and alike, but it used to be much rarer before the invasion, so I concluded it must be part of the broader protest against the invasion (which includes companies leaving Russia). Now even some obscure technical blogs often return 403's. Some sites, upon detecting you are from Russia, also show the Ukrainian flag with some political message instead of the usual content, which go away if you switch to VPN.
