I agree that it hurts them tremendously.

One one hand, sucking the life out of the web ecosystem and then killing their vampire implementation is really bad.

On the other hand, the alternative to shipping a DOOMED implementation is Google not shipping these in the first place, which people also don't want.

The least the company could do to not destroy the ecosystem would be to open source or at least write up these implementations for someone to rebuild black-box.

Realistically, any developer could write a blog with black-box reimplementations.

An alternative is to keep a team explicitly for life support of these projects.
Probably, I wasn’t implying it was specific to Britain, just that the 3rd Amendment (like most of the Constitution) was a direct response to abuses incurred from the Crown in (their) recent history.
As far as I know, wlroots [0] comes with implementations for most of the "machinery" for folks wanting to write their own compositor.

Years back, I raised how evolved Ghostscript had been over a very long time, together with the huge complexity of the PDF specs, as a potential source of vulnerabilities.

(But maybe wasn't as much on people's radars, with all lower-hanging fruit of other technology choices and practices going on, outside of PDF.)

New code for a large spec is also interesting for potential vulns, but maybe easier to get confidence about.

One neat direction they could go is to be considered more trustworthy than the Adobe products. For example, if one is thinking of a PDF engine as (among other purposes) supporting the use case of a PDF viewer that's an agent of the interests of that individual human user, then I suspect you're going to end up with different attention and decisions affecting security (compared to implementations from businesses focused on other goals).

(I say agent of the individual user, but that can also be aligned with enterprise security, as an alternative to risk management approaches that, e.g., ultimately will decide they're relying on gorillas not to make it through the winter.)
> fast, easy, low emission

Also they reduce(/avoid) congestion, so fewer cars sitting idling, so they also mitigate car emissions. Where is that part of their impact factored in?

Consider the net effect of 100 people using scooters, instead of 100 people using (say) 50-100 cars for rideshares.

PS and of course, essentially zero footprint for parking, so better urban planning.
If the job ad on linkedin says "Easy Apply" it means the job was posted on Linkedin. If it just says "Apply" with an arrow that means it scraped it off another job posting site. Linkedin even scrapes the "number of people applied" from the 3rd party site.
haha what city do you live in where a prius is the average commuter car?

i live in seattle and joke about always being able to see at least one tesla. and still there are at least as many if not more SUVs than fuel efficient commuter cars.
I've deleted my LinkedIn profile years ago because it was annoying as hell.
Again, that is not what this word means. It’s misrepresented data, not fake. And yes, the distinction matters.

This is also not what the article is about. The problem they face is completely fabricated data, not DFT structures in a poorly worded paper.

Of all places, this is probably the last one where I would expect this argument.
People become actuaries out of passion? I thought that was the definition of a stable, boring career. It’s what the dad does in Boyhood after giving up his dreams of a music career.

Librarians I grant you, though I think the market for librarians continues to be oversaturated with supply. Lots of people like the idea of a career adjacent to reading books.
I've convinced that the real problem with submodules is basically the UI. In particular, the defaults are terrible. You can ask it to block pushing if there are unpushed submodule commits with:

git config push.recurseSubmodules check

Or you can make it push automatically by replacing "check" with "on-demand".

You may also find it helpful to make various commands automatically apply to submodules with:

git config submodule.recurse true
Seconded. I have a Khaki King and I love it. I wear it almost every day I’m working.

Yeah, I really don't have that much of a problem with LinkedIn. It definitely seems like they do scammy things, but I don't really notice since I really only login to it when I'm looking for a job. When I set my preference from "not looking" to "actively looking" or even the "casually looking" option (forgot what it's called), the flood gates get opened wide. Then it's pretty much just like picking a job from a job tree because there's usually so many options from recruiters. Then I turn it off, and the emails pretty much shut down (once in a while one or two seems to trickle through somehow, which is annoying but not that bad).

For my intent it kinda works the exact way I want it to, but I really only ever login when I'm looking for a job.

FreeCAD isn't even mentioned, but it implements precisely that "work on geometry step by step" workflow.
Sounds like a drug addict TBH. Smoking is great! You get to socialize, have a fidget toy, it's calming, fun, looks cool, etc. (Seriously, it is great! That's why it is addictive)

What if your work was a walkable distance? What if light rail and buses were dense and frequent enough where that was the fastest way to get to work. What if there was a train to go out to the coast? What if you did a rideshare to go junk the mountains?

Pinning it all on self driving at this point imo is continuation of the corrupt car culture that lobbies government and social appeal with absurd efficacy. I don't believe self driving will really ever happen (the complexity is too high), and that solution means that we can maintain the car-centtic status quo and even double down on it. I'm not sure if there were a more comforting idea than that - that we don't have to change anything, just wait for technology and everything we are doing suddenly is good and sustainable. Yet, there are all of the tools available to not require a personal car and have a better travel experience.

*downsides to cars:
- super loud
- pollution
- you are traffic, and by travelling in practically the least space efficient, you are creating traffic
- unsustainable, highway funds are often federally granted for new construction, yet the zoning connected by those funds do not generate enough revenue to sustain the upkeep. Each mile of road costs about 10 mil to build and the same to maintain over 50 years. Strip malls and suburbs simply do not generate enough tax revenue to support dozens of miles if roads to connect them. Given we had such a big glut of road building in the 50s, should not be a surprise that America's road system is falling apart. If our infrastructure were sustainable, would we even need "infrastructure week" or a "build back better" (my understanding is both of those were to focus mostly on car-based infrastructure). Point being, if that were sustainable infrastructure, we wouldn't need these one time surges and the roads wouldn't be crumbling like they are today.

Could go on, self driving is not an answer to many of the intrinsic problems to car-centric society.
TIL. I did go to that museum and I thought that was what they said.

What do you mean by "brack water"?
The idea is part of a very problematic episode in European history. But would the idea be really that bad?

But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people not making it a big deal.

Besides, I'm not sure at all of it was state regulations. Up until not too long ago there were no private TV channels or cable operators. The cable company I'm talking about was run by a few guys who got the idea of wiring cables in the city. Later they did internet services as well and included a server where you can simply connect via FTP and download DivX films for free. I don't recall even having a formal contract, you call them and they come and connect and if you don't pay the monthly fee, they come and cut the wire. I think they shut it down 2010 or something like that. Anyway that's not the point.

I don't think you understand the kind of freedom I'm talking about, it's not really about the laws but about the lack of moral panic and lack of discussions over how we should live our lives.

As a result, the sense of freedom comes from the society not caring you watch porn and the restrictions come from the parents of the kids. It's considered a trashy behaviour to let kids be exposed to that kind of stuff but no one demands the government do something about it. In the west, the discussion always revolves around government allowing or denying stuff.
> If something doesn't have that kind of metric, start the countdown timer...

I can’t. They killed that feature.
I absolutely agree. Most of the time, getting very good DFT results is actually far more difficult that getting the experimental results of cystollography itself.
They're both quite hard, and it depends on which techniques are applied, but getting computational methods to match with great quantum accuracy is very, *very* difficult.
I know more about condensed matter physics and GW Bethe Salpeter approaches etc, than proteins, but the difficulty in getting good computational methods to work is still out of reach for ~95% of scientists even in that field.
>Yeah, you can build that up. But it takes quite a while,

"The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time in today"

Things could move a lot faster than Amsterdam did, honestly. If a decision was made to stop centering cars in city & infrastructure planning, you would see changes quickly. This isn't the same as being anti-car, it's just prioritizing differently.

The real kicker is that there is basically no way to do this without making car use less convenient, because for many decades the majority of planning and builds have been dedicated to making car use more convenient (or at least, not less) and externalizing most of the costs of it.
Indeed, the average speed of the subway isn't very meaningful for comparison as the bigger win is being able to skip the traffic jams where the car speed depends highly on the exact route and time of day.
Growing high quality crystals of Organometallic compounds is easier than many other disciplines in chemistry, orders of magnitude easier than proteins, as an comparison.
so the key here is that you put node.js inside a browser, that anyone can use your platform directly to work in a nodejs system for frontend without local npm installation and node_modules/ hassles?
Sorry, can you address any of the claims made by the journalists? or only engage in smears?

Why do you think Twitter added a "hacked materials" warning to that article instead of simply removing it as "Russian misinformation", as they have repeatedly, and perhaps justifiably done for other tweets?

In Hong Kong, you can go to all of those places in 20 minutes from most populated areas, and you don't need a car to do it. The trains are shielded from rain and are usually well air-conditioned. You don't have to deal with parking and it's much safer.

There are downsides of course, it can be crowded and you have to be around other people. I think those are things people adapt to culturally, while things like dying in a car accident and sitting in traffic are less culturally plastic.
100%. I love their approach. It harmonizes so much with how I try to think about every new bit of technology and it's served me very well. Some practices it has inspired for me;

- Absolutely NO social media on the phone. Computer only.

- Relatedly: Turned off ALL phone notifications except those that come from real-life human beings who I know personally.

- Paid hosting and perhaps more importantly, email. Self hosting is a pain, but I want the control and reliability. To me, it's an incredibly bad idea in the hands of e.g. Google. I need to be able to talk to a human who can fix things if it breaks.
I recently switched from a 6 year old Lenovo Inspiron to Macbook 14' M1 Pro and I can say I have been enjoying coding on it.

Could be part of it. Minoxdil is just one kind of vasodilator. There hasn't been regrowth noticed with other classes like ACE inhibitors. And in general cardio training hasn't been shown to improve hair loss. Minoxidil might induce vascular endothelial growth factor as well. Maybe you need both? It also seems to work much better in combination with finasteride or dutasteride.

All medicine is a little human experimentation. We don't even understand the complete mechanism of action of acetaminophen and that drug has been around for over 130 years. Generally if something works, we're happy.
> Why is walking to another room simple but walking in the outside world hard?

I'm pretty sure if houses were so big it took 2 hours to walk from one side to the other people would drive in them. Best not to ask rhetorical questions with obvious answers.

"Why are people happy to cycle to the shops but not to cycle to Australia for holidays?"

"Why are electric toothbrushes so affordable but electric cars are still the domain of the wealthy?"
> It's a stretch to think they were even a good idea in theory. Putting riders with no helmets and no wrist protection on electric scooters is just this side of distributing free trampolines on the public pavement as a safety disaster.

Any idea what the injury/accident/fatality rates are for scooters vs bicycles?
It’s also worth keeping in mind that most of her trips are likely not as easy or safe as that one. I wouldn’t expect her to get used to riding a bike when 95% of the time it’s infeasible or unsafe.

It’s not worth the mental effort for most to say “is this specific trip a bike trip?” and “which are the safe routes to get there, which are probably different than my driving routes?” Most people just never try at all because there aren’t enough opportunities to make it worthwhile, and not enough safe roads to know how to navigate.

If it was possible for more of her daily needs to be met by bike, with comfortable and safe infrastructure, I’d bet she’d be more open to the idea.
This is exactly the point I'm making: storing hydrogen for electricity storage has to be done through electrolysis, because steam reformation emits carbon dioxide. But we don't currently use electrolysis for our hydrogen production, because it's not cost competitive with steam reformation. It's not cost competitive with existing energy storage either.
I thought the title said no credentials needed?
Love the simplicity !
In 20 trillion years, or even infinity, would you consider a rational expectation that electricity will ever flow from the grid through wires into a power outlet, by the work of randomness?
I have a github repo where I implement a feature identical microservice in various tech stacks. I started that repo with a Clojure version that used community provided wrappers. See https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed/blob/master/... as an example of calling Cassandra. Recently, I added another implementation with Clojure that just called the Java drivers directly. See https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed/blob/master/... for that version of the same call. In the end, I decided to forego wrappers and make the calls directly because you end up with fewer dependencies and are more likely to be able to use latest versions of everything.
France gets 70% ef its electricity from nuclear. It only gets about a third of its primary power from nuclear. Clearly, the technology can't handle the task if the country can't even run its electric grid on 100% nuclear. /s
For sure, and I want people to have that choice! But I also want the amount paid by people living in the suburbs to more accurately reflect the cost, and I want people who prefer living in denser urban environments to be able to improve their surroundings by removing cars.
Not Knuth. Dijkstra.

Really? There's a motor. So it can go faster, accelerate more quickly, and you can go longer distances.

Why? If you have those 3 cities you're already dealing with 10s of millions of potential customers.

It’s more that they take a cautious approach to any new technology, making sure to understand what its effects might be on their society before deciding to what extent to allow it.

This article “Amish Hackers” is a good look at their approach [1].

That article has been on HN several times over the last decade. Here is the most recent discussion [2].

I'd add that it seems like a worst of all worlds vehicle in my limited experience. I've only ridden one once in what was a busy downtown (I suspect the only place these things could possibly make economic sense). Riding on the sidewalk was frustrating because you're limited to other people's walking speed (and paying by the minute), so I switched to the street and immediately wondered how I'm not hearing about mass scooter deaths everyday because now you're basically a pedestrian moving amongst cars; the smallest of which weigh well over a ton. That was my first and last ride, and I can't believe that it was legal for me to ride either on the street or the sidewalk on one of those things.
? That was Edsger Dijkstra's article, if I recall correctly.

Looking on Amazon... TI calculators are running Python nowadays. Much easier to understand but C would be a much better introduction to computing for them :(
I joined a startup 7 years ago as the first employee to build an open-source distributed database and have been working as a chief engineer since then. I write a lot of code, but most of the time I'm actually doing something other than code:

I visit customers to show our product proposition and listen to their requirements, write articles online to introduce our product, participate in meetups to talk about the technical architecture, operate the community to attract contributors, talk to ISVs or other companies about product integration...

Many of them are not programming, but why I still have to do these? I think even we have a good enough product, if nobody knows about it, it is nothing. We must try our best to improve the awareness of our product.

By the way, doing these things also make me grow faster, become more focused and even better at programming. So if you are a Software Engineer, please have a try, this is another kind of fun :-)

Imagine the amount of free time you gain when each kid can go to practice, school, friends, etc, all by themself by either walking or biking. Safety is also no issue because so many other people are walking or cycling.

While not directly related, it reminded me of another plan (from 1963), sponsored by the US to create an alternate to the Suez Canal, through the Israeli Negev Desert using... 520 nuclear bombs:

https://www.businessinsider.com/us-planned-suez-canal-altern...
Dude, we use natural gas because that is cheap. Why is it cheap? Because we externalize the costs of climate change. By that argument we should ditch nuclear and burn lignite. It's a lot cheaper and proven technology.

Nobody claimed electrolysis is cheaper than using natural gas. Nobody even claimed that electrolysis is cheaper than batteries at small scales. The claim is that electrolysis is proven technology that is a lot simpler to scale that lithium batteries.
OP, I've been working on a very similar thing for some years now, too. I could write a book about this at this point, but I will avoid gushing here.

Please let me share some pain.

Many developers/companies make this thing and none of them really know how to (or can) share. I'm happy to share my list.

The end result, as I see it, is a fragmented mess of either partially completed or fully completed and walled (and/or poorly modularized) software.

Take for example VS Code's tree view. Can a developer with a need for an explorer view just use VS Code's tree module? Not hardly. Go reinvent.

Contrast that with CodeMirror. If you look, you will see CodeMirror everywhere. This software truly empowers devs and it has resulted in pure awesomeness.

There's no shame in not open sourcing what you've created, I'm assuming you haven't. And I can't say anything about how you have modularized your components.

But it pains me that the next dev who gets an idea like yours will either give up or spend 6 years struggling to create the same thing (except the CodeMirror part).

Worse, Microsoft can afford to struggle and or throw people/money at this. They can pay people to work full time. They can give away their editor(and more) for free. That's a win from user's POV.

Are you aware that VS Code runs on GitHub and does the majority of this kind of thing? I think they could completely shut down all sandboxes or similar kinds of software from a financial perspective.

I said I wouldn't write a book.

Anyways, I strongly appreciate what you have done. It looks great.

I wish we lived in a world where we could work on the same team building this kind of thing.

My best wishes to you on getting paid to do it full time.
