This is fine, but it's not basing claims about what is good or bad on just your personal opinion or feeling. It's basing it on a general principle that is supposed to apply equally to everybody. That is indeed the only way of escaping the merry go round of shifting personal opinions and feelings. But it is also not perfect: not all ethical and moral issues can be resolved this way, because now you have the problem of which general principles should be used. Not everybody agrees with the golden rule, just as not everybody agrees that lynching is bad.

no, i have not rolled out own browser because i don't know how...
maybe there is a need to build or maintain apps for old devices using old sdks and tools?
There are cheaper options than $10K (see Mosis or Europractice price tables) but they have smaller areas (to be cheaper, you can have larger chips if you pay more) and might require commercial tools and NDAs. The process options range from much older than the Skywater one to reasonably recent technologies (with proportionally higher prices).

I agree with you that an error return would be superfluous and probably misused, but middleware with the default handler could be a lot more usable if you could just query a ResponseWriter's written status code.

Instead everyone tries to do it by putting in their own implementation of the ResponseWriter interface proxying back to the 'real' one, which works perfectly but with a lot of extra code about 80% of the time, sort of works but often takes some performance hit 19% of the time, and blows up utterly when it composes poorly with someone else's 1% of the time.
Thank you for agreeing with my point.
I suspect that it might be because we use a left-to-right writing system, so our eyes start on the left. You want their eyes to start at the content, not at the scrollbar. So you put the scrollbar not in the first place they look.

This may be the same reason that the horizontal scrollbar is on the bottom, not on the top.
Nope.

Just occasional facts that Google founders knew and used it + it has been used in some academia played a crucial role in its promotion.

I'm still convinced by Intel's and Pat's XPU strategy. Having a well rounded portfolio of CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, and FPGAs that all work flawlessly, alongside a comprehensive software environment to make cross-platform development easier (their OneAPI stack) is a dream for any OEM/ODM; provided it works.

Their issue at the moment isn't strategy. It's execution. Axing their GPU division would only hurt their current plan, and do nothing to fix the the systematic problem that they're missing deadline's and shipping incomplete products. From the outside looking in, it seems like there's some fat that needs trimming and people aren't pulling their weight. If they can scale back to efficient team and org sizes, cut the side projects, and focus on excellent software and hardware validation, I can see them pulling this off and Pat being lauded as a hero.
> Apple or some other vendor cannot make an ARM chip so fast at a competitive cost that beats an x86 chip in emulation mode.

This reminds me of Iron Man 1... "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps! - Well, I'm sorry. I'm not Tony Stark."

Apple has managed to pull it off so well that the M1 blasted an i9 to pieces [1]. The M1 is just so damn well more performant than an Intel i9 that the 20% performance loss compared to native code didn't matter.

> as powerless over that system as they are over crypto

I see this claim made a lot, and I don't understand it. When the canadian trucker protest (please don't make this discussion about that, I am not saying it was good or bad, I am just using it as an example) switched to crypto after the gov froze their bank accounts, the gov also froze those crypto wallets. That seems like the opposite of powerless.

I think it's really naive to think that the gov won't just be able to bully any type of new system into submission, like they always do. If there are people running the system, then those people can be coerced.

> I am not sure what the connection is to a "virus" of drugs and anger spreading among Inuit people.

I think the parent poster is referring to the non-native population’s history of inflicting trauma on native populations and how this trauma is like a seed that begets it’s own cycle of behaviour that causes still more trauma (hence a virus that spreads). Prior, native populations weren’t known to have traumatized their own peoples (though wars between tribes are well documented).

Edit: are you strictly limiting your comment to the Inuit? I think collectivism was the base case among native populations. Non-violence within tribes as well.

They key term is 'externalization' and in this case a more interesting form called 'temporal externalization'. The idea is that in order to achieve short term financial gain the downsides are spread either in space (to the rest of current society or some faraway place) or in time (by moving the bill to the next generation).

Climate change is the posterchild for both of these. Other examples are pollution, resource depletion etc.

Making excuses for the state or making excuses for Facebook? Because I will apologize for Facebook in this case all day long. Not because I think their motives are pure. But because they are behaving exactly as the system incentivizes them. And to me, this is the most clear example of why Roe was a good precedent. Because a big part of laws is how they are enforced and there was a for some time a pro-democracy court which believed this was relevant. And now there is a legal absolutist court which believes that the letter of law is imporant and how a law is enforced can be regarded free of context at another time. But the tools of the state are blunt and this can be reason as much as justice for choosing what is and is not a crime. And to blame Facebook in this case rather than to accept that the consequence of laws is state violence is a way of deceiving oneself.
It is sad that this language is almost useless for anything else than osx/ios apps.
Sexism is unfortunately a key component of this discussion. Anti-abortion laws are focused on controlling a woman's body.

I do agree that it's more productive when the conversation is civil and polite - but sexism is firmly in the middle of this particular topic.

Only the ones where the woman who is pregnant is underage and someone decides to burn the body. Her mother not taking her to the hospital is neglect at a minimum. A miscarriage at that point could easily result in death.
1. The same people who can't judge a brake pad by looking at them probably aren't going to know which points to measure between. [Though the common error here would be to assume there is more brake pad left than is the case, by incorrectly including the backing plate in the measurement.] If the min spec is 4mm and you measure 4.5mm, they're clearly legal/safe, but for how much longer? If you don't know how a new set of pads measures, you have a hard time estimating.

2. This is not in the context of "no one knows whether these pads are above minimum spec" but rather in the context of a dealership recommending service before the pads have worn down to minimum spec. There are valid reasons (mostly convenience) why someone might choose to have brake pads replaced before they're at minimums and valid reasons why others would choose to run them all the way out.

I'll echo the concern about the turboboost really helping at times. Often, you have a single-threaded process running that benefits from a single core running at a higher clock rate for a short period of time and improves the experience tremendously.

Even Paul Offit said things similar to what other people have been saying in this thread related to serious side effect onset time, but what people didn't realize (or did but ignored for expediency) is that you can't detect rare side effects without giving the vaccine to millions of people in each demographic, not just in total. In the COVID-19 vaccine rollout for example not enough people in the myocarditis high risk zone (males from the onset of puberty to 30, approximately, as well as others at lower but still significant risk) for months got vaccinated for months after the EUA was granted, so they only picked up on the issue for real four months later in April 2021, and did not start putting out warnings in full force until May 2021. This probably could have been picked up by taking troponin readings multiple times in the days after each dose in the trials, but after age and sex stratification, the signal may have been weak. The FDA and CDC have hardly corrected to the extent I think is needed, and the good changes they made were pretty hushed and weak, such as the language around increased dose spacing in myocarditis high risk zone patents. VRBPAC never was able to do a age and sex stratified risk analysis for the first booster either, let alone the second and third. Paul Offit does not recommend you get any boosters unless you are high risk, including just being old (ask: am I eligible for Paxlovid? If not, don't get any boosters.).
You can pretty much read a list of company values to find out exactly the things they do only for show.

> Is there a static site generator out there that doesn't require a ridiculous build process every time I do an update?

I am experimenting with Caddy's template functionality [0] in my pursuit of making dependency-free and buildless websites. Caddy's templates are inspired by the Server Side Include (SSI) functionality in Apache and Nginx, except it uses Golang's syntax. I have made several websites in Hugo and find it pleasantly similar, only more bear-bones.

Although Caddy is serving static sites to the browser, it is technically more like using a dynamic scripting language like PHP on the server. I guess Caddy templates outperform PHP by a large margin because it is written in Golang and compiled, but I have never tested this hypothesis.

Funfact: Caddy's entire website is written with Caddy's template system and the source code is available [1] for those who want to take a look!

Both downsides are fixed by using http/2, right? Heartbeat seems trivial to implement using HTTP/2 PING frame. And you already mentioned the stream sharing, which IMO is much better than the state of each tab on the same website opening its own TCP socket, pretty much a resource exhaustion hell (browsers didn't implement websockets on top of h2 last time I checked).

Websockets do have an advantage over SSE: they get binary streams instead of text.

> No everybody who just asks question is secretly a nazi.

If it walks and talks like a duck, it's usually a duck, even if it says and believes it's a goose. "Just asking questions" is literally a far right meme (if you're wondering, it's part of a tactic called "sealioning" using leading questions to spread talking points and derail conversations).

I'm not saying you're a card-carrying member of the German National Socialist Workers Party, but whether intentionally or (more likely) accidentally, you're hitting a lot of the same chords and you might want to reflect on where you picked them up and why.

To be clear: HN is fairly accepting of far-right accounts as long as they avoid being explicitly so (and even then they're more likely to be downvoted than actually banned). The person who made the "joke" about Anne Frank has a history of making easy-to-miss remarks that just happen to fit in a certain political bend (e.g. complaining about "exotic sexual identities" or stating everything got worse because of something unspecified happening in the 1960s, a decade defined by civil rights victories). Even if HN's moderation policy was to actually ban far right individuals they probably would have a hard time justifying this one even if the aggregate of these comments paints an obvious picture for anyone familiar with the tropes.

It's always just jokes. The playbook literally involves telling "jokes" until you stop laughing (i.e. when it stops being a joke or as they say "when the joke really lands"). Far right communities have been at this for well over a decade at this point (though the defining moment was most definitely the GamerGate harassment campaign that populated "red pilling" in their target demographic). "Edgy jokes" are the gateway. You are not immune to propaganda.

I have software engineering experience, particularly in functional languages like F#, Elixir, and Racket. I find Python in no way easy to get started or simple. I worry that so many do because, from my point of view, it moves the needle of what's simple towards the complexity side of the meter. It's a concern because it sets the bar for what's simple way too low for people new to programming. So, they're going to go off doing "simple" things when they're not. Cf., the Python ecosystem. I have no trouble imagining that Python is a complete nightmare for large systems.
kcc in this context is "kilo clock cycles", right?
Java was actually not bad for me in class when learning software design and data structures, but soul-crushing to work with in the real world. Mindless, unnecessary use of getters/setters, interfaces, and AbstractFactoryImpls. Hiding almost every piece of functionality behind 10+ layers of indirection. Dependency Injection with Spring. They all make it feel like Java draws folks who actually __enjoy__ writing bloated, over-engineered garbage.

YMMV, of course, and yes, there are modern frameworks other than Spring (Play is supposedly pleasant to work with), but life is too short to try to sort out that mess.

I plan to stick to Elixir as much as I can, for as long as I can. When the language clicked for me, it was the biggest breath of fresh air since I decided to pursue programming as a profession, and even cooler than when I discovered Python/Django.

Edit: obviously, Java is not all bad, and not all (or even most) people who use it fit the description above. But something about the ecosystem seems to draw those types (no pun intended) disproportionately.

Trial and error in my case, cars need regular maintenance so plenty of opportunities to shop around. I've been to the main dealer, chain type garages and independents. A couple of the smaller indies get my custom all the time now.

Simple things like going for a replacement tyre and being given a choice of price ranges and an explanation of each option, then watching them do the change and hand torque to the correct spec.

Or an air con regas at £50 at a small garage vs £120 at the main dealer.

Most recently I had the discs changed, was able to order the parts myself and drop them off for fitting at the cost of labour only. That'd never be an option at a main dealer or chain type garage but is pretty common for smaller outfits apparently.

> their only tool for tackling inflation is to suppress worker wages by spiking unemployment

This is nonsense. Unemployment is down.

Raising rates reduces aggregate demand in fairly direct ways, e.g. through home construction and renovation. To the degree workers are getting screwed it’s by real incomes being squeezed by inflation.
