The "npm:" import does not appear to have even started development, although it has been planned for a long time: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/13703

Core features for npm compatibility though (like implementing most of the npm api, including require(), and its special globals) has been making progress for a long time.

There is even a near complete project to support Node's native api (which bun also supports): https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/13633

Relative to the the existing node compat efforts, the url import (and accompanying package download code) will be fairly small. The most difficult part is probably the extra stuff that node throws in the global namespace. How to handle that without having to pollute the global namespace for all programs (even those that do not import from node) is unclear.

Ideally these globals would be visible only from code in modules imported from npm. But the spec does not really allow for this unless the npm code is loaded in a different realm, but cross realm code causes a lot of headaches, which could only be avoided by having the realms share most globals and intrinsics (and sharing intrisics is not allowed by the spec).

There may be some other way to hack this into working, or perhaps programs with such imports that actually use NPM specific objects will need to be run with the "--compat" flag. It is really unclear at the moment.
Labor prices in the US are silly high. I’m paying the plumber like $160/hr which is a joke in my opinion.
giving the town tax money isn't going to do it. you need to make the people in the town richer, and most of the people aren't going to see a dollar of that tax money. at least, not directly or in the short term.

> My understanding is that when there is a power failure in the neighborhood, the broadband provider's equipment is usually offline as well.

I had a friend with a generator who got the opportunity to test this due to an extended power outage. Although I agree, it probably depends largely on how well your local ISP has their act together. He found that Comcast (consumer-grade Internet) in his neighborhood was actually able to keep Internet service running for a little over 24 hours. His generator evidently outlasted Comcast's generator and he lost Internet on the second day.

I'd love to see neighborhood-to-neighborhood, ISP-to-ISP comparisons of Internet connectivity longevity in the event of power outages.
Godaddy has a very poor reputation and has a history of scummy practices. Namecheap never gives me any problems. But beware, they've recently allowed politics to surpass customer service and satisfaction (threatening to shut down domains due to their country)
I've had the endless connected loop more times than I can count!
I mean, this is my personal opinion and experience. Also, if you claim this is "frowned up by linguists" then a source would be appreciated.

> Well yes, because it's a broad and unquantifiable claim as well as one that's not really supported by evidence.

No. Imagine you never tasted ananas (pineapple) before in your life and now you taste it for the first time. Can you describe the flavour to someone who never tasted it, so that he can imagine the taste? Mind that I'm not taking about sweetness and acidity, just the distinct aroma.

I don't think you can. Does that mean it's just an "unquantifiable claim" that ananas has a distinct aroma? If so, even an "unquantifiable claim" can be helpful for others to understand.

Oh, and don't come with something like chemical analysis or so, since we can't really do that with the brain quite yet.
Both visa and mastercard have processes in place that automatically substitute new cards - that part is normal. Quite strange that they'd do that after a card replacement due to fraud though

> Bluetooth was hailed as the Next Big Thing because it would enable "Personal Area Networks" (PAN), a now all-but-forgotten buzzword.

Apparently I have a PAN. First time I'm hearing the term!

I use BT to quickly transfer images and PDFs I find online from my phone to my laptop. All I needed to do was select "Share to Bluetooth" menu on my Android phone and select my MacBook from the list of available devices.
> Also "starting position" is kind of nebulous. There are 8 of them. Do I get to choose which column to start the pawn on?

I think you would have to. If the location is predictable, my king would be next to the place that pawn spawns at, ready to take it.

If you can choose the column, my king would be in one of the four center fields, and still would win the race to take it, but if you’re smart, you place one in column A first, force me to run there, and then place one in column H.

On the other hand, once you’re on the last row, you can spawn a new pawn every second move, but so, likely, can I. This might be interesting to analyze.
This is from an admin module in a project I did a long time ago. In my new job I find I need to search medical terminologies such as SNOMED, ICD10, RXNORM and LOINC and available tools were frustrating. So I extracted this from the old project and put it up on the web.

Feedback from coworkers has been extremely positive so I am opening it up to wider use.

My hope is that for someone who uses these terminology systems in his work, the UX becomes pretty easy with a little exploration.

My current plan is that it is free to search and compile lists (or value sets) then charge for download and value set management.

I am looking forward to Hacker News feedback.
Does it mention that ZERO non-Soviet municipal power reactors were built with graphite moderation, willful withholding of critical information from those managing the power plant, and folks ready to run a "safety test" that was reckless on its face to laymen let alone nuclear engineers?

This isn't even like judging all cars based upon the safety of a 1970s Ford Pinto. This is like judging the safety of all modern production electric cars on the safety record of F1 race cars in the 1970s.

Also bear in mind that health tracking in the exclusion zone and surrounding areas was only published after Chernobyl. We have no idea what the baseline was prior to the event in that part of the Soviet Union (and may never know).
Why? Markdown works fine and is better known, I don't see anything that Asciidoc would do better than Markdown.
> if I go downstairs with my work laptop then I'm going going to drape an ethernet cable across my living room just so my connection is 1 Gbps still instead of 400+ Mbps

Are you missing the word "not" in there somewhere? Or being really obtuse? Your comment makes little sense as is. Initially you encourage hard wired unmoving appliances, but then also get behind draping a cable across a room to make sure movable appliances also get the best possible bandwidth?
You are vastly over simplifying this problem. If it was that simple why did yucca mountain fail? It's not. Realistically every nuclear facility is gonna be a waste storage site for thousands of years. That's not being factored into the cost.

Having one nuclear waste dump site per country means transporting nuclear waste to that site by truck or train. Good luck when there's an accident.
Thanks for the hint!

There seems to be at least these three advantages over my approach:

- `git duet` has neat syntax for attributing more than two people.
- `git duet` lets me enter a mode where it keeps attributing my co-authors.
- `git duet` keeps the authors in a separata data file, not in the script.

I might consider switching for the next small project. :-)

No lie, last night my wife and I started Prey (Predator prequel). About 5 minutes in we both started questioning what was going to happen to the dog (which happens to look resemble our fur baby) and turned it off. My wife said we should find out what happens to the dog before starting it again. I had no idea this was a thing!
The worst offender for me is an email address I used to get a fishing license from the state fish and wildlife group. As soon as I did that, I started getting advertisements from some outfitter/prepper type places. Not sure if they bought the address or if licensee info is public in my state.

Denton was my manager at Google for a couple years. He won some award for being one of the best 10 (? some very low number) managers in the company. Thorough and patient are definitely two of his good qualities. :) Tailscale did well to hire him.
The good news is that FPGAs have democratized a bit of the HW stuff for us software folks. It's fairly trivial to get started with an FPGA dev board and building out our own custom CPU architectures, though of course it's likely going to be "just for fun."
So even if a new and novel concept can't take over the world, we can build our own lightsabers, even just for hobby stuff.
The best, simple, metaphor I can think of is playing out a chess game in your head. As in, you make a move, and see how the scenario changes, and predict the opponents moves. In chess, it's just 2D and one opponent or agent. In the real world you need to weigh many possible agents, estimate their motivations, and predict their responses. This way you can visualize the cascading effects of a decision.
It looks like preppers didn't have to be scared of an asteroid, a pandemic, a solar flare, a nuclear war. Instead society fell from something totally unexpected: No one wants to work anymore.

If your team is unaffected by layoffs then you're very very lucky. This sounds like you're imagining basically the spherical cow of layoffs.

How do you set up scheduled background jobs? That's what's preventing me from using Next.js in any projects so I hope Blitz.js can manage that. I don't want to build an app that's only alive when someone is using it. I need stuff to happen without user input.
I looked through the first 4 pages and its cute! I think this could certainly be helpful to someone getting their feet wet with really studying the language.

One of the reasons I tend to hold MNN as gospel is the way that it doesn't treat you like a child. The conversations are very realistic to what you would hear in modern spoken Japanese, with Keigo and all of the clunkiness that comes with it from lesson 1.

I noticed your disclaimer:
"Despite being in the form of stories the Japanese used is beginner Japanese and may not reflect the way native speakers would express themselves. "

If its not used by native speakers, why learn it this way? Maybe they could understand you if you spoke like this, but you would be unlikely to understand them without the need to speak to you as if you were 4 years old.
I think it has more to do with the money they raised and communicating some path towards wider adoption.

Don't personally know anyone who is treating Bun as anything more than a curiosity.
For written Japanese, a lot (for the kanji). For spoken Japanese, it helps with the words that were borrowed from Chinese — and this is a lot, perhaps 50%. But pronunciation is, obviously, recognizable, but differing. For such words (those that consist of characters that are pronounced using the so called on-yomi reading), you're likely to pick on the sound conversion from Chinese to Japanese and vice versa, and at that point make educated guesses to the meaning of those words. That leaves pure Japanese readings of words of course (which includes almost all verbs excluding the nouns that are verbified by suffixing with an inflection of suru), but it helps in the basis.
I wouldn't put it quite so uncharitably, but I agree with your skepticism. It seems very much in line with the way the individual lessons put much more focus on the kanji writing system than on the Japanese language itself, which IMO is a common strategic mistake made by beginners who are self-studying.
insightful!

Been a user of gandi.net for over a decade. The only problem I have with them is not even their fault: My credit union will not allow me to pay gandi with their card services because they're a foreign company (gandi is based in France) and it looks like fraud. To work around this, and still use those card services, I have to contact my credit union every time I want to transact with gandi. Instead, I use paypal...though I'd rather not be forced to. I think gandi might have more payment options now, so I might be exploring that soon as I need to renew one of my domains.
> What do you think byzantine-fault-tolerant networks are?

LOL. I've been working on distributed systems for... a while. I've even had a few conversations with Lamport, pre-Turing award.

Apparently today BFT is a buzzword used by alt-suits to hawk unnecessary solutions to fake problems.

> With redundancies built in, so your data is guaranteed to be online regardless of any third party, and so on?

1. That's... not what byzantine fault tolerance gives you.

2. Fault tolerance was a huge problem in the 90s and 00s but today is in most practical cases a solved problem (and without any use of "crypto").

I have no spam on my gmail account. All I do is every time some new spam shows up I immediately unsubscribe. I might get new spam maybe once a month but that’s easy to unsubscribe from.
Taking 6 months to a year off from programming to give your brain a rest does not mean that you have to sit on the couch watching game shows or travel around trying to 'find yourself'.

Plenty of 'Help Wanted' signs are up looking for people with few skills or intelligent people who can learn a skill quickly. It might be much more labor intensive than your current job, but that might be exactly what you need as a change of pace.

Few, if any of those jobs pay as well as programming, but millions of people earn a living wage doing them every day. If you don't have some good savings, then you might have to give up some luxuries that you have gotten used to, but that isn't the end of the world either.
It's really interesting to see Blitz.js and RedwoodJS coalesce around some of the same shared tools and patterns (i.e. Prisma, deploying backend to lambda functions, etc.)

It makes me feel like we're on the verge of having a really great tool in this space. (Or maybe even two.)

Don’t get the Span load center, too expensive and hard to know what longevity and long term maintenance looks like. Make sure your replacement heat pump is high efficiency and can both cool and heat (uses a reverser valve).
Are they still charging for SSL? Last I checked, they made it as hard as possible to use letsencrypt, and had a rather deceptive "Free SSL if you buy a domain!" promotion that doesn't actually include a cert.

Human society isnt static. It can also be affected by a thousand cuts. The cuts in this case would be untruth. So many false things have become proliferous while people have forgotten ancient meanings of some of the most basic yet important terms like love. It's no wonder people are wandering around and blundering. We need a simple teaching to guide us. Humans got rather arrogant in the last 80 years.

Don't forget that the word incel means involuntary celibate. It does not posit a mechanism or cause or blame necessarily. I would say some of the greatest philosophers, and thus perhaps some of the truest men in our history, were incels too. It was not because they misunderstood reality. They lived lonely lives due to being sincere when others couldn't match their level. Even Buddha begged people. He wandered countries looking for someone who wanted to stay near him and to learn. He wouldnt have had to be on the move otherwise. Scholars have rewritten this blatantly with their own subconscious projections in "records" that he was surrounded by hundreds of learners or that his begging was somehow an opportunity for the lay people to accumulate virtue by supporting the work of the Buddha through supporting his life. (Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Zen, made it rightly clear to the emperor of China that supporting Buddhism does not implicitly build virtue and as a result of being ejected from other places Bodhidharma got to stare at a cave wall for years while we "revere" him today.) What if the alms means something else as well: that Buddha was wandering and begging for people who actually wanted to know. Shakyamuni had a wife but the discoveries he made also meant he had to take a virtually entirely platonic role much like that of a modern therapist but to the entire world. Personally I think he knew the tradeoff he was making and was trying to make a point for the future of humanity that even that is what humanity is really like. The real story of humanity is us discarding the sincere people who think highly of us. This is actually a very great teaching. Perhaps the greatest one he could have left for us. Even though it looks similar to a grudge, and though it is easy for monks to use as a story to cover a personal grudge, in Buddha's case it was an act of love. But I would still probably categorize him as an incel bc it's clear he would rather not have had to leave his family and to open his mouth and live in alienation only to die in a "park" by the road. it was a sacrifice he made because people have limitations and he had a job to do.
I think you mean the other way around. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. Most TS is not valid JS, but all JS is valid TS.
This is the same reason a lot of alternative JP learning resources recommend against traditional resources (sometimes even native textbooks, tangibly related) and favor sheer immersion instead. It's the same way many non-English speakers learned English as kids before their schools even start teaching them English. Formal education can still fill in the gaps where necessary or cover areas not usually covered in daily life, but it tends to work better as a supplement rather than the bulk of learning.

I too am against it in general, and given the sheer volume of vocabulary and little quirks required to understand Japanese, you'd probably do yourself a massive disservice waiting to dive in any longer than necessary.
The poster said it's an extra 0.4 cents/kWh, not 0.4 USD/kWh.

Our contract in Sweden is NordPool market price + 0,006 USD/kWh. Typical electricity prices in Sweden is anything from 0,001 USD/kWh to 0.5 USD/kWh, it varies widely day by day. This is what enables people to be able to save by using electricity when it's almost free.
It really depends in which way they complained to Hetzner. Write a stern email? Hetzner could forward it to you and give time to respond. Preliminary injunction (not uncommon in trademark cases), they'd have no choice in that matter.

Generally, I would recommend not hosting APIs on the primary domain for exactly that reason - it's too easy to be hit with some sort of complaint and have that domain cut off (DMCA, preliminary injunction, SPAM complaint against your mail server, shitty host, ...).
Really happy with all the progress.

This is really coming together as the project that really brings it all together.

The Audio/Video stuff is great and having it fully embedded in the matrix client will be amazing.

P2P is really cool, specially when there is an easy way to have other servers (or your own) temporary hold the message for you when you are offline. Having full local offline matrix with the standard chat client rather then some more specialized tool is a real game changer.

What I would like to see is for Matrix Decentralized Identity to be able to be used as a SSO for other sites.

Great work and great to see that a great business has been built on this technology as well.
You don't need to know any of that, as soon as they offered ~20x the return a bank would offer, you knew it was (at least) 20x riskier. As soon as it was too good to be true, it was too good to be true.

I don't see a queue of people who got their money out in time and made a tidy profit queuing up to return the cash because the whole thing was a cheat. And these people are no different, they would have boasted about their investment if it had lasted another 6months and they'd gotten their cash back. That's the problem here: It's heads they win, tails they cry they were cheated in the vague hope someone will give them free money...
I always hear medical insurance being a blocker. Which, I find surprising.

I was a contractor a few years back. I simply went to healthcare.gov and purchased a plan. It was a bit overwhelming because there were _so many_ options available, but it was essentially the same as buying car or home insurance.
Most knowledge transfers I’ve been a part of, have been “theatre”. Even when the effort is done in good faith it’s impossible to transfer more than the high level knowledge.

Unless there’s a consistent effort to document the system throughout the lifecycle of the project, you’re not going to be able to do it in the last 2 weeks.
Is the fear of "people selling your email to spammers" a modern myth, or are spam filters that good?

Email databases for sale are not always for spam or malware. They are often used for tracking and cross marketing calculations. Placing a companies name in the address will signal a canary and they may likely filter your contact out of their database or at least flag it and treat it differently.

I've been using email canaries for decades but recently had to adjust my canaries to be less obvious. A few vendors got upset that I had their name in the address and one even accused me of fraud and canceled my $500 gift card. That was the Tractor Supply Company.

Either way I will continue using canaries and multiple domains as it is a good way to be filtered out of some cross marketing databases and to avoid some behavioral tracking and some machine learning. It is also useful to find companies that get upset. This is an indicator to me they lack integrity and should be avoided. Canaries are also a good indicator to detect if a company has been compromised.
I think it's relegated to low-volume hobbyists. e.g. this is low-profile, wireless, and looks well made.
