A team player who can do the work. "Team player", by itself, is not enough.

And, to be a team player, they have to be able to communicate technical information, reading, writing, and speaking.
It is regrettable that "vanilla JS" seems to imply a total lack of structure and abstraction.

In my view, the size or complexity of the app has nothing to do with whether or not you should use a javascript/css framework. I believe it's more about having the experience & leadership required to pull the team together on complex, open-web technologies relative to the problem you are trying to solve.

Once a pattern has been established, its exceedingly easy for the junior developer to catch on and help out. Starting from zero is where most seem to struggle with the web. I've never had someone come to me and complain about the difficulty around adding a new field to an existing web form.

We were using a blend of Angular JS, Riot JS and Blazor over a period of ~8 years before we had the experience & confidence to dive into a 100% vanilla JS product. I can't fault anyone for reaching for something off the shelf to get started. But make no mistake - If you have the team, opportunity & experience to pull it off, vanilla JS products are the most enjoyable to develop & maintain. It is incredibly empowering relative to managing something like an Angular 1.x/2.x codebase, or even a modern Blazor server-side app.

I will also say this - The state of the open web standards is amazing in 2022, so you might be able to shortcut the training wheels a whole lot faster. Imagine if you had CSS grid from the very beginning. There are a lot of self-professed web developers who don't even know about this today because of the layers of ridiculous abstractions they are buried underneath.
Yeah, I'm of the firm opinion that the US is a second world plutocracy that masquerades as a first world democracy by using its military might.

The concept of being the best country in the world (American exceptionalism [0]) is not rooted in fact. In actuality, it's propaganda designed to keep people within US borders instead of seeing them flee to much greener pastures around the globe.

It's long been the case that esps emit the most junk, not marketing but actual spam: stolen credentials, many many vulnerabilities, trials etc

These days sendgrid is the highest followed by Google and mailgun, Microsoft used to be on top but they seem to have dealt with it a little (anecdotal logging for mail servers I manage)
Absolutely, that's what my co-workers concluded long ago, a failed early AI experiment.

Ouch, so US towns and cities didn't always be hostile towards walking.

Well, the article is more saying the average person in cities was car hostile but it notes that authorities starting trying to force people to adapt to cars quite early by enforcing "jay-walking" ordinances and similar things.
Same observation in US cities. Lots of younger people riding them for fun. I’ve done some joy rides on them for fun and to see part a city I was visiting. Haven’t rode one in years after the novelty wore off and partially Covid related.
Very cool. Would be even better if they included pricing.
But, do they only like owning a car because existing without one *sucks*? I don’t know that I buy the idea that people inherently want to own cars, just that our urban design makes life really hard to go without one
I don't think there is any free lunch here. The more trips that are made by car, and the longer those trips are, the more the community also needs to invest in capital costs like road and parking infrastructure (which also comes with a non-trivial opportunity cost in downtown areas). And the more you drive the sooner you'll have to replace your car, incurring more frequent capital costs.

Of course alternatives aren't free either and sometimes they may not be worth it. But I disagree with the idea that it obviously doesn't make economic sense to invest in any alternatives once you've purchased a car.
The free tier on that page says you get "8 lines of code". Is that a typo? Does the app really not let you write more than 8 lines of code? Of what use is that to anyone?
A great stereo system. Expensive, but it gets used every day and music sounds fantastic on it, and it will easily last 20+ years (my last one did).

I would be very cautious about that: 1. search likely to be distracting , 2. do you want to be your own boss, or not? 3. generally investors want you to become a gigadollar business which I would guess is not your goal.

Elsewhere you wrote: “I am pretty bad at B2B sales”

In the US because roads are built to maximize vehicle throughput rather than throughput of people. The former would have 2 lanes with cars and buses using all the road space. The latter would have a massive traffic jam in one lane and a clear land for buses. The buses carrying 30x the capacity moving freely is more efficient for moving people.
Especially with the onset of the Mr. Beast burger which could be sold anywhere and consumers have no knowledge of the prep location and the assembling of the food. I could see a law with more regulations like this make the process have more trust for consumers.
Umm, absolutely not.

How are they making money if they bought when rates were ~2-3% and selling when rates are 5-6%?

A bond holder LOSES money as interest rates increase and must sell at a DISCOUNT.
Linkedin succeeds because most companies suck at recruiting so much, that this bottom-feeder behaviour by recruiters and Linkedin actually gets people hired, much faster than they otherwise would be. Recruitment agencies and their cheesy, ignorant reach-outs are actually what gets the market going. This is because hiring managers at tech companies don't want to do the job themselves, even though they'd do a lot better.
I see “network effects” cited so frequently as this impenetrable fortress, but… literally every site that now has “network effects” had to fight them to exist, so it seems kind of odd…
Couldnt agree more. (I grew up in Cyprus.) From what I could tell, it didn't occur to Sörgel what effect the dams and evaporation would have on sea-life, and on the coastal economies depending on it. Probably catastrophic. But one thing that was encouraging about the Orkney turbine mentioned elsewhere in these comments: they ran a trial first, to see how wildlife would be affected. Result: negligible impact. So a modern-tech version that respects all that beauty does seem to be possible - if mining the raw materials required to build it is factored in, because that is a massive ongoing issue.
You’re right. What has broken is searching “20% tip on $20.00” or similar. That used to automatically prefill the tip calculator.
A few weeks ago I tried a lot of low code tool(building kit)s.

Tooljet was one of them, but I failed at getting the docker container (following https://docs.tooljet.com/docs/contributing-guide/setup/docke... ) to run.
Instead of trying to learn everything, I would suggest to get confident in your ability to learn.

There is way too much tech to learn everything, thinking you need to learn everything will remove all the joy as its literally impossible and also unnecessary.

Instead just build stuff. If you build things you will almost always encounter things you don't know, that's fine, it's an opportunities to learn new things. If you do it enough you will feel totally fine not knowing everything as you'll know that you can learn things when you need them. Also with each project you'll gain new skills and expand you knowledge making the next project easier.

If you want to try some hardware stuff; get an arduino or raspberry pi or similar, find a fun project and start hacking!

Just ignore peer pressure, find back your genuine interest and curiosity, and pursuit it.
Don't forget: LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. Just like Github.
At this point the emergence (or re-emergence) of the instant grocery startup in is like the apocryphal story of Joseph Kennedy getting stock tips from his shoe-shine boy - a sign that the market is about to crash.

Strangely this appears to be a new implementation not based on MuPDF, so Artifex now has two implementations of a PDF interpreter.

I wonder what made them decide to reimplement it instead of reusing their existing code.

> In the 60s and 70s the kids were running around the streets all day and cars then were bigger and harder to control.

Car density has increased a lot in many of these places, as has average speed (due to widening efforts, it seems). They are also bigger and also heavier on average. Or at least weight has been increasing since the 80s. It did dip a bit earlier from then, as the large steel frame cars shrunk due to gas prices. Visibility is a mixed bag but is often worse now in the front (cabs are much higher), which is pretty critical for the kids-running-around scenario. Pickups are especially egregious in this way. They are much bigger, much heavier, and have terrible visibility these days. They are a growing segment for reasons unrelated to their nominal function.

A friend recently commented after visiting his childhood home (parents still lived there). He spent the Sunday evening on the front porch, an recalled when he was a kid they would probably have been playing street hockey all evening in the neighbourhood, but that would be impossible now.
When LI started, it didn't have much competition so it was easier.

Network effects is not an impenetrable fortress. It just means your product has to have a really good reason for people to switch, and I dont see anyone in the work network space doing anything really better than LI. I wish someone was.
yes its not the emissions during use it's the emissions from manufacturing. a car might last a decade. the scooter lasts a few months and you have to keep making them at scale
It's not just in the eye of the beholder - the comments that I've scolded you about, including
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32279605 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32279588
in this thread, were obviously breaking the site guidelines. If you don't stop doing this, we will ban you.

If you're asking whether we moderate, scold, and ban other accounts that break the site guidelines, regardless of which views they're for or against, the answer is certainly.

That does't mean we catch every case, but that's because we don't come close to reading everything that gets posted here. There's far too much.

Re "politically incorrect to you": every politically passionate user who gets moderated here feels like the mods must secretly be conniving with the other side. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... This perception is a function of political passion. People either don't notice the cases going the other way, or discount them.
Can downvoters please explain why they disagree with this comment?

Agreed on the litter. Imagine I own 1000 scooter-sized fake pink flamingos, imagine they contain a bunch of lithium batteries for some reason. I set them out on city-owned property and encourage strangers to take them. Predictably, they get left all over the damn place. Blocking sidewalks and wheelchair ramps, in storm drains, waterways, and dumpsters. Some of them get picked up one way or another, but the rest become hazardous waste litter that cannot go in the normal trash. Who should bear responsibility for cleanup and disposal?

That a city would allow this to happen with no penalty to the owner is a lavish gift of a public (and at times rivalrous) good to a private party.
So what if rates stay elevated? They shouldn't/can't keep their balance sheet this bloated forever.

The FED currently holds ~2.7T of MBS that they never should have purchased in the first place. That is damn near ~25% of the all outstanding MBS in the US (!).

In the short term anything can happen, but longer term there will need to be many investors with a big appetite for MBS to suck up that supply without rates surging higher.

Oh yea, these "dumb money" investors will also need to ignore the current all time high valuations and record low home affordability.
But you see, going with renewables is not betting the future of the planet. We absolutely know that renewables can do it. The technologies all exist now. All that we're doing is quibbling over how much it would cost.

The worst case for renewables would be that costs stop declining. Stack the deck just right and nuclear might end up a bit cheaper. But this is just a financial risk, not a risk of the planet. And if one is looking at financial risks, one must also look at the risk of cost overruns in nuclear. Unlike with renewables, which typically come in within 10% of the contracted cost, nuclear plants are famously subject to enormous cost overruns. Factors of 2, 3, or even more.

Pretending that the promises of nuclear will absolutely come true, but that renewables haven't absolutely demonstrated their cost declines will continue, is a blatant double standard and not how one does proper analysis. That's why utilities and financiers have walked away from new nuclear, especially in markets where they're not allowed to foist overruns off on the ratepayers.
> Given past events [3], I find the idea of a scientology media company trying to get the ear of state and local governments to be very concerning.

Same goes for any religious group IMHO. Separation of church and state.
We could. The technology you would use for this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_power . Unfortunately, it is not currently cost-effective.

The salinity of the Baltic varies but is generally below 13 g/kg, which is a lot less than the salinity of the Atlantic (around 35 g/kg). This corresponds to an osmotic pressure differential around 1.8 kJ/L (1.8 MPa). If you were to build a dam which had a gravity pressure which matched this pressure differential it would be about 180 m high. So, yes, there is plenty of energy in that salinity difference, but getting it out in a cost effective manner is an open problem.
Kubernetes reinvented virtual machines in a good sense
This is exactly the issue. As sucky as LinkedIn is, it actually did result in better results for me than average HR department at a given company. That should not be the case, but so very often it is.. therefore, LinkedIn remains one of the viable options.

I am relatively lucky, because I am now old enough to have friends, colleagues and some reputation so I do not need it ( amusingly, my profile was flagged for something recently and I have not looked back ), but I remember when I did and recruiters were the least painful way to get my foot in the doors
Are you saying submodule SHA was updated in the parent repo, but the new submodule commit which the parent repo is now pointing to was never pushed?

I haven't experienced that scenario before but it seems like there'd be an obvious git error?
Apparently Tiktok allows videos of up to 10 minutes, which in theory would make it suitable as a music distribution platform, but how many videos over 3 or 4 minutes actually go viral?
Anyone have any insights on this vs Godot for 2D games? I imagine Godot is more powerful, but when would you want to use this engine?
The cheapest hatchback still doesn't have that suspension though.
Yes but how expensive? The color range in technical diagrams is extremely small ( I would say less than 10 colors, never? gradients). How much extra would it cost to print $5? On a $50 book I would argue the increase is negligible while the apparent quality increases by quite a bit (to me at least).

It is not so counter intuitive when you consider that popular bus carries a lot of passengers. I'm not sure what is the high ridership, but even average of 20 means per passenger rate is fraction of others.
The statement "if you get rich, you will just be sad and bored" is one of the most obvious psychological operations by the rich and wealthy I have read about. It goes hand in hand with "money doesn't buy happiness" or "there is dignity in hard work (that leads to nothing, like moving boxes from here to there)."

I am earning 10 times what I was earning before -- I was living decently earlier anyway -- and my life is considerably better, with broader and deeper horizons, more creative and purposeful. I can travel wherever I want, I can help others when I can, eat the food I want. I don't go on a spending spree, I don't have a big car, fancy watches or other material possessions that can be associated with "having made it." But my life has improved a great deal. And if I had more money, my life would have even greater potential, aspirations and achievements. One might say, "But if a loved one were to die, your money would not help." Perhaps. But how would a lack of money help?
Yeah, and programmers don’t practice logic. Got any other zingers for us?
In some states of Germany they also lobbied for advanced high school courses to require a Voyage 200 (after you already shelled out for a TI-84+). This thing was pricy and the school ended up having a few units to lend out because not everyone could afford them.

You could try our platform stck.me (Samir.stck.me).

What is the best way to send out a newsletter now? I think I will need some service that I can:
1: Import the mails

Our import is smart and capable of
- importing from almost any format. No matter which service they are coming from
- handling duplicates and invalid addresses in the import

2: Import the bounces so they get analyzed and removed from the list.

We automagically cleanup the hard bounces. So the customer don't have to keep paying for such contacts.

The pricing is 10 percent of revenue.

Wow. That such high end technical content is hosted on Wordpress really shows how battle tested and reliable it is.
Knowledge influences behavior? No way, I don't believe it.

Say I want to learn how to do a backflip. I do a quick search, find an instructional video, and nope the fuck out because of how dangerous and difficult it seems to perform. A prime example of knowledge that influenced my behavior.

Pointless study since this is just common sense. So much time and money is wasted in science just so that people can make a name for themselves or get a promotion.

> eventually any food-carrying resource runs out of the ability to carry its own food, and it can’t go farther even with exponential blowup.

That problem is called the “travelers across the desert problem” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_problem)

I would think it can reach arbitrarily far, but can’t think of an easy proof, or find one.
No idea, but I assume you can just get into whatever driver interfaces the userspace Kobo software (IIRC, it's QT-based) is using. I can poke at the command line if you want to get some idea of what's there, let me know.

Certainly Koreader has no issues displaying what it wants to (and it does at least some level of e-ink-friendly regional updates).
Money, sure. Fraud? No. That is too broad of a topic to require its inclusion with BTC. Almost every scam/phish/SPAM I receive is USD-desiring. And you are aware of this yet insist BTC is the main fraud coin.
I agree we should include the cost of climate change. That's why nuclear is cheaper than solar and wind: because solar and wind require either energy storage or fossil fuels. And since energy storage at grid scale does not exist, solar and wind contains the cost of climate change.

> The claim is that electrolysis is proven technology that is a lot simpler to scale that lithium batteries.

And my point is that this is false. Electrolysis is not proven technology at scale, almost all hydrogen is produced through steam reformation. No, it does not scale better than lithium ion batteries. If we try to build it at scale it'll make solar and wind more expensive than nuclear power.
Looks to be approx. a decade old project (first commits late 2013). Last release appears to be approx. 1 year ago. For those who have used this or are familiar, how far along are they to the goal of making a full clone of rpgmaker? How usable is this for someone getting started new?

EDIT: Looks like that is when the git history started, but from the responses here it sounds like this started more towards mid-2000s
Yes, sorry, I was talking about T-R069.

I meant the Wi-Fi settings and I did the same error as most, I wrote "modem" and meant "Wi-Fi router with built in modem".

Bottom line is, we agree, ISPs can be blocked from changing *WiFi* settings.

Interesting that you're ok with some system of social credits. Even in the ideal scenario, I see two major issues with it:

1. People often don't perceive purely numerical losses properly, just like credit cards make people overspend compared to cash.

2. It sounds like in order for it to be effective, it would need to have very low forgiveness. If the punishment has a high duration, it makes rehabilitation difficult.

We do need to figure out deterrents for minor bad behavior in modern society, and first need to have a list of criteria by which to judge these deterrents.

Isn't the multiverse where one version of you solves the problem and the other versions don't die strictly better than the version where they commit suicide? It's not like their experiences and memories get merged into the surviving copy. They're just gone, instead of not gone.
