It's even more for me, it looks to me like the embedded React sandboxes are essentially full React apps in development mode. So none of the usual optimizations for size are active, and you get the full devel-mode bundle for several React applications on this page.
Yes, that's my point: popularity and quality are only weakly correlated, and platform economics select for the former.

San Salvador is the capital, like saying Moscow to refer to Russia.
Mmm yeah, that's clever! I like it.

I think for my package (the Laravel one) I'll have to hold off on that because CTEs only work with MySQL 8.0 and up. Also the Laravel query builder doesn't have methods to add CTEs, unfortunately.

I'm gonna noodle on this though, there's something nice about it.
Sure, but plenty of people are giving advice for that, and I’m not going to assume anyone asking this question is helplessly addicted. That’s only something they can know after exhausting other options.
I just tried this for the first time a few weeks ago. In Colombia they call it chicha de piña. The stuff I had wasn't bottled, just left on the counter in a large covered crock to ferment for a few days. Sweetened with panela and some spices like cinnamon and maybe anise.
Patronage. Honestly music was profitable for a very brief period of time between around 1940s-1990's. Every other time in history it's required someone rich to like you enough to pay you to do it, or be a traveling minstrel who lived on the edge of society.

Like even Wagner who is arguably one of the most influential and popular composers of all time spent most of his life destitute and only was stable when the Kaiser himself was sponsoring him.

I think in the same way though this speaks to something deep and profound about music, I once heard the saying "You can buy anything in this world for money" and I think that the problem we have pricing music has to do with how transcendental it is, it is designed specifically to convey or share something that transcends mere language or description, musics purpose is to communicate from one soul to another in a way that is deep and meaningful, that touches people and brings them in alignment and helps people see that which we can't quite understand in normal life.

It is beautiful, and I think the attempt to commoditize music, make it corporate and subjugate it to the whims.of the market end up making music a little less musical.
This is a function of what youre exposed to. Go work for a big software company and switch teams to a different domain every six months. After three years, you will rival almost any engineer. The issue is people get mostly worthless or extremely siloed experience, and so they take a long time to build a complete picture of how to write software in their head.
> same argument can be said about literally every non-crypto currency. A US dollar doesn't have any "value" other than the small amount of heat you get if you burn your paper bills.

Or the food and fuel one can import with it, which one can't with Bitcoin.
Traditionally, Brahmins (the priestly caste at the top of the ritual hierarchy) weren't supposed to engage in commerce, landowning, etc. so some of the business-oriented middle castes were much better off economically.

But the very lowest castes which were outside the traditional varna division (i.e. untouchables, known today as Dalits) basically got the short end of the stick with little if any benefit (the only silver lining I can think of is lack of competition for ritually impure jobs that no one else was willing to do).
Not defending their Bitcoin decision, but I think an important bit of context that is easy to miss is that small developing countries with not too many relevant exports (besides tourism) or financial sector, especially those close to the US, don't have an enviable set of options when it comes to FX regimes.

Either you try to exercise 'fiscal discipline', meaning that you effectively have to answer to Washington pundits and Wall Street Bankers wrt to your economic policies, or you try to sustain an unmaintainable dollar peg and eventually have to ask for an IMF bailout, or you let your currency float and risk a spiral of devaluation and inflation. Argentina has gone pretty much full circle on those options, ask them how it feels.
Because artists make the world an objectively better place in an uncommonly powerful way.

Because it's an excellent investment, socially speaking.

Because investment in the arts (I mean serious investment. Not like USA) has worked pretty well for some countries.
Eh I don't know, I think to an extent Patreon which is explicitly this model has helped allow anyone to patronize artists they support.
is the contract public? i would like to see what contingency is in place if Boom fails to deliver. Or more to the point, is this more PR to make AA appear to be forward looking, and bolster Boom's reputation with a deal that will never come to fruition. It's a win-win for investors
Amsterdam has the famous dykes, but Miami is built on limestone so sea walls do not work.
I'm guessing at least part of the reason is that old school delivery driving doesn't have to be profitable, only the whole business does. If you have a healthy margin per pizza, that margin can subsidise the loss made per delivery. You just have to make sure that the profit from the increased number of pizzas sold makes up for the cost of delivery and you're good.

Food delivery services, on the other hand, have to make the delivery itself not only profitable, but profitable enough to produce a somewhat livable wage for the driver once expenses like gas and car wear are accounted for, and the whole company has to live off of whatever it can siphon off from what the drivers get.
This article seemed poorly written... also somewhat entitled. Few people make a living doing what they want. People give money to those doing what the payer wants, which is poorly correlated with what the payee wants.
In 100-300 years people will probably only know the names of the "good" modern writers and artists too.
Boom's original bet was that they could use better aerodynamics and materials to get supersonic speeds using existing engines. This saves a ton of time and money since you don't need to get the engines certified. The prototype uses three non-afterburning GE J85 engines[1], which produce 2,950 lbs of thrust each. It should have a top speed of mach 2.2.

The main issue is that their production aircraft will need more powerful engines, and modern civilian airliner engines have large fans, high bypass ratios, and high compression ratios, all of which make them difficult to adapt to supersonic flight. It looks like their plan is to collaborate with Rolls-Royce to build a suitable engine using an existing engine core. I hope they can pull it off.

The roads in Florida are freaking fantastic and pristine almost everywhere. I moved to Seattle ~5 years ago and I still can't get over the fact that the roads are pot holed pieces of crap in a constant state of disrepair. We can't even get white divider lines painted reliably in the downtown core. I don't know where all the tax money goes.

However, the downside of those glorious Florida roads is that, well, you need them at all. Everything is sooooooo spread out and flat. I forget until I go back and visit just how far away everything is from everything else. Going to something "just up the road" is a 15-20 minute drive.
I will give deno functions a look -- I haven't really looked into them.

I thought this seemed familiar. Impressive how much more compact and elegant the new version is with modern technology.
I think it's that crack, porn, and painkillers are, to varying extents, counterculture or taboo. Whereas an "innocent" Candy Crush addiction is more socially acceptable.

It's fun to speculate on why that's the case, but it seems likely intractable to nail down.

Although, I'll point out that while they're both categories of addiction, pension funds can only invest in and make profits from the more "innocent-feeling" category.

I'd guess that, if there were a regulatory environment that allowed for public companies that could legally encourage people to indulge their $taboo_addiction, then said $taboo_addiction would cease to be taboo and become more prevalent, for better and worse.
Also, the church(es) which employed many of them.

On top of that, music was not a commodity back then. Live performances literally made a living for many of them as these performances were the only source of music. (And a church needs this music for every mass, for instance.)

Now music is abundant, recordings are cheap / free, and the best performance is easily available in a recorded form. Live performances are still a thing and still feed many of the music creators. Royalties, too. But you better be a superstar for that to bring enough. (Liszt and Mozart were superstars, in a sense.)

Wait until a Dall-E equivalent for music emerges though.

That's probably not necessary. It doesn't even need the pizza in the first place.

I'm a seasoned citizen who sometimes complains about ageism on HN, but not today. I've come to realize that some of the complaints are valid and think it may have to do with "resting on your laurels."

To 'rest on your laurels' means that you get lazy or complacent about what you could achieve because you're too busy basking in the memories of former glories. [1]

I've noticed in my older programmer friends and myself. Because you were a lead developer on a famous program in the 80's or 90's doesn't mean you know anything about programming in today's multicore, distributed processing world. If you're not a life long learner, you probably don't. But you have a big ego, which most people think is justifiable, and it gets in the way. It's happens to the best of us.

I fight this tendency in myself by practicing the Zen concept of the beginner's mind [2] and egoless programming [3]

This works outside of programming too. For example, I've always hated Los Angeles since the days when it was hot and smoggy, but last trip there I told myself I would look at it with fresh eyes. I discovered a lot of cool things about the place that I didn't see before.

Art is a service industry. I'm into electronic music and it's interesting to think about the youtuber's I watch, who very likely make most of their money from not music. I think we as a society should aspire to art that pushes conventions or makes us uncomfortable, but it also seems somewhat anti-human to think that people shouldn't pay for what they like. "Art that appeals to the lowest common denominator is popular" is just a practical, self-evident statement. Sometimes I think trying to get away from this and idealizing that it should be the best art and not the best marketed art that should be popular is arrogant. I think this is why a lot of artists end up moving to big cities, sure, to find opportunity, but also to find a community of people you can share your art.

I think there is this perception that some people - Ed Sheerhan or Skrillex just get to be uniquely themselves, and maybe they do. This is kinda the thing about living in a big complex capitalist system. I think we can all see that as consumers of art that our limited reach and sharp opinions are one of the beautiful things about being human, but it's hard to see it from the other side.

I don't know if it's sad or hopeful or human. I certainly wish I could quit my job and make music for a living. I don't really know what the answer is, but at the same time, I think it's like the if you build it they will come thinking that comes with building a startup.
We shouldn't mix apples and pears here - music streaming is a different beast. The marginal cost for DoorDash is the cost of a pizza. The marginal cost for a music stream is effectively $0.00 dollars.

You could say that VC set the customer expectation for cheap music (although, Zune Music Pass was available a full decade before streaming took off) but even before streaming you could argue consumer expectation for music was pretty dang cheap. Music was free on the radio, albums where shared widely, music was copied and pirated rampantly. It's a stronger argument that streaming services convinced labels that that everyone could make more money if they started competing with piracy on cost and convenience.

I don't think that's how I use the word "quality." Yes, it is not synonymous with popularity. But no, I don't think there's something wrong with the world that people prefer a certain thing that is "lower" quality.

Is champagne higher-quality than coca-cola? Of course it is, but no serious person argues that the world ought to prefer champagne to coke. Quality is a combination of a bundle of--cough--qualities, not all of which are accessible to everyone, nor are they necessarily desirable to everyone.

One example of the accessibility aspect is that many mediums have a natural progression. The music educator Jerry Coker provides a simple model: He wrote that the enjoyment of music requires--amongst other things--a balance between familiarity and novelty.

In his model, when we listen to music our brain is constantly "playing along," basically predicting what the next note or whatever will be. When it's always right, we can grow bored of it because it lacks novelty. When it's always wrong, we grow frustrated with it because it lacks familiarity. Somewhere in between is the right combination of "yes, I know this, but whoa, that was cool!"

This model explains one kind of progression: We begin in a new genre with things that are relatively simple to digest and which are repetitive. As we gain familiarity with simple and repetitive music, we seek out more complex music that has provides a little more novelty, such as unusual chord voicings or progressions.

Of course, we eventually grow overly familiar with that, so we seek out even more novelty, and at some point, we find ourselves enjoying music that our friends who haven't taken our journey find repellantly random.

Is that music of higher quality? Yes? It's something that people with more experience with music prefer, which is one way to define "quality."

Is there something wrong with the simpler music that is more accessible to those who haven't taken the same journey? No.

Is there something wrong with the universe that most people do not enjoy the "higher quality" music? Also no.
Sure, but plenty of people still browse Reddit or Instagram (or HackerNews), listen to podcasts, etc.

There is a middle ground between "AR will never take off as an entertainment medium" and "AR will kill video/images/text."

You shouldn't need to do anything requiring the wheel while you're driving though. All the controls that you would want to have accessible while you're driving are physical (climate control, basic media/phone controls.) For everything else you should be setting that up while you're parked.

As a recruiter, it is clear that the most successful languages still growing in popularity in 2022 are:

C#

JavaScript/TypeScript

Python

Edit: golang is small in terms usage but is on the way up definitely

All the rest are in decline or remaining at a constant level of acceptance.

So if hiring / recruiting is important, use C# or TypeScript or Python.

If you want to cause yourself deep hiring/recruiting pain, build your systems with Ruby or use lesser known frameworks and languages such as Erlang/Elixir.

C# seems like an excellent choice for Linux based development - it's mature, there's a vast talent pool, theres vast knowledge and community resource for getting problems and questions answered.
Sure, it does that too, but that is not its runtime purpose.

Many, many approaches solve organizing your code; React is in the middle of a large pack here.
I am quite sure there were a lot of bad contemporaries, but they never ended up in the history books.

One of the new genres that really impresses me, is 3D art. The art form is getting quite mature, and often requires as much work as any Dutch Master oil painting.

One of my favorite 3D renderings, is Worth Enough, by radoxist[0]. Nowadays, I'm sure that there are works that beat it, but it was quite amazing, when he posted it.

> I've essentially stopped getting delivery which is a bad sign since I'm basically the target audience

Same, rarely ordered delivery pre-pandemic but then was ordering two or three times a month but eventually got sick of food taking over an hour to arrive from places only a mile or two away so stopped entirely (until discovering a nearby restaurant that does their own delivery and it's great - arrives within 20 or 30 mins and the food is always piping hot).
Thanks! I was trying to remember the term.
Pizza packs well, is ordered in large quantities, is easy to store on the seat, is fairly high margin, stacks, and the stores doing this delivery have dedicated drivers with good estimates for how much volume they'll be doing in a night and a fixed supply of drivers with guaranteed wages. They also didn't deliver as far.

App drivers are constantly playing this game of guessing where the next order will come from and where they'll end up.
That's expected, you'll have to pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring when a new developers key is added, which happens every couple months or so.
As somebody who flew quite a few lie-flat business flights on JFK->LON - you absolutely do not get good night sleep. Flight time is 7:30 and you can realistically go to sleep 30 minutes after take off (when they start serving food and other passengers are still noisy - good luck falling asleep quickly) and you are generally woken up about 1-1.5 hour before landing (Why? I have no idea but they turn on the lights, serve breakfast and do announcements about weather in London about that time before landing). So you get at most 5.5h of mediocre quality sleep which is better than nothing but not enough to function 100%.

3 hour flight will change a lot of things for JFK-LON business trips as they open up opportunities to loose only 1 full day during business trip instead of loosing two full days. I generally stay on NYC time with meetings in the afternoon LON time if trip is less than 5 days so short flight is game changer.
Oh absolutely makes sense when you're sick! Every time I get a COVID shot/booster, the next day without fail I'm sick as a dog. My go to has been Panera Bread's broccoli cheddar soup and bread. And it's definitely worth the delivery fees, and tip to not have to get dressed and drive to the local restaurant.

It depends what you mean by "scale". If you mean "make it as big and as fast as possible" then yes, they suck because of the memory bandwidth thing.

If you mean "can be rapidly deployed from bare metal to a rich and complex application stack" then they scale out quite well, because a stack-based architecture - or even an architecture that lends itself to implementing stack-based languages, like the Motorola 6809 - kind of points you in the direction of Forth, and once you've decided you're using Forth then you've only to write a few dozen lines of assembly and the rest of your Forth is written in Forth.
Istanbul has a thriving delivery ecosystem that appears to be mainly mopeds. I think what really makes it work for them is how densely populated it is so drivers really don't need to go far, there's plenty of orders coming in from nearby. And Istanbuls traffic is way crazier than any I've seen in the US.
