The only reason developers write malformed documents was because they can get away with it. And yet, millions of lines of code are written every day in programming languages that absolutely do not accept malformed code, and that all works out just fine.

Another problem with it is that everyone who can get something to display in their browser suddenly thinks of themselves as a developer.
Do you have snow tires? Living in a snowy region, I've learned that nothing makes as big a difference as snow tires -- whether the car has stick, automatic, AWD, whatever.

Admittedly, it's hard for me to directly compare stick and automatic because the cars with automatic were also much heavier -- a minivan and a SUV.

It might be worth noting that there's still an active community writing new software for CHIP-8 (and its descendants) today. This October will be the ninth annual CHIP-8 game jam. It's a fun way to celebrate computing history and scratch that low-level programming itch: http://octojam.com

What I liked about this is that Apple realized it makes more sense for someone other than them to develop and supply tech for something like Thunderbolt, co-engineered with Intel for Intel to do it (and eventually open it, royalty free).

> Don’t be so lazy as to argue that a marathon runner makes comparable choices to an overweight layabout.

Marathon running is quite hard on joints, with an increased incidence of osteoarthritis. (There are also overweight marathoners, smoking marathoners, etc.)

> It’s just not true that people’s lifestyles are in aggregate equal.

Certainly, but there's an infinite number of combinations, and there's a serious risk to over-dividing the risk group. Pre-ACA, some folks found themselves shoved off into "high risk pools", which often made them functionally unable to access healthcare. Making folks uninsurable pushes them into more expensive (back to subsidizing!) emergency care, and causes them to delay treatment in ways that often exacerbate a treatable condition.

I suspect the folks here would riot if "sitting in a chair all day" wound up with a massive insurance penalty. Should eating meat come with an insurance penalty? Living in a smoggy city? Overindulging in beer?
>>"Yet some local governments are still not taking extreme heat seriously"

Given that extreme heat is not even close to being at the top 50 ways that Americans die on an annual basis, it seems to me that there is much better bang for the buck having federal state and local governments focusing on those things that kills the most people first - if the goal is saving lives (which it should be), than attack those societal/public health problems that kill the most people first.

Basic triaging is necessary - if you don't have unlimited resources, and you can't save everybody (both of those things are objectively true), then the best benefit to society is to attack the problems that will save or extend the lives of the most people.

The top ten causes of death alone account for 1.5 million USA deaths per year; extreme heat is less than 1/10 of 1% of just those top 10 - I want the government to prioritize making progress on those things first.

Just having a healthier population alone would probably cut way down on # number of people that die from extreme heat - a healthier person will almost certainly fare better in extreme heat than someone that already has 2-3 comorbidities.

My experience with power failures is that the refrigerator will keep the food cold enough overnight if you don't open the door.

Even so, the refrigerator could make ice during the day and be an ice chest at night. No need at all for a battery.

I hope that the advent of better solar energy extraction and automation (things like Tesla's robot) will usher us into an era of abundance.

There's multiple layers to it.

Those people are sometimes right that an INORDINATE amount of moral panic are focused on LGBT+ people. (Again, all the people who tried to prey on me were straight dudes and I think the percentage of predators are roughly equal between straight cis guys and trans women).

On the other hand, most of them are so urban and online that they can't conceive of trying to navigate this space as a normie parent. Most normal parents are AWARE that strange men are potential dangers to female people and teach us about it accordingly so we're wary, we can go to them or teachers if someone DOES prey on us, etc. (I see a lot of warnings to teen girls that 'that guy doesn't think he's mature for your age, he just wants someone easy to manipulate').

But most normal parents aren't plugged into the queer community enough to teach their kids how to avoid predators in those spaces. And most of those parents just have too much else going on to learn - if somebody is working 50 hours a week with 3 kids, they don't have TIME to keep up with the drama of who was revealed to be a predator this week. And the instinct to not take chances when it comes to one's child's safety makes sense.

> What annoys me is this is the exact behaviour that turns people into right wing lunatics. It provides the fuel for their conspiracies/hoaxes/insane ramblings.

One of the reasons I made an account for lurking was to watch and see where waves of newbies arrived to KF from and why. There are a lot of participants who ended up there after what they wanted to discuss was completely banned from the other places they talked about things online.

> It seems that as soon as you say this about someone that is trans though, you are a labeled a massive bigot.

The lack of tolerance for dissent or deviation bothers me. In a lot of places, you can't even have procedural or intellectual disagreements about trans orthodoxy, or discuss how some of the rhetoric is hurtful to other members of the community. It's very 'there is one way to be and only one way'. Very similar to conservative Christian spaces. (My family is half conservative Christians, so I'm familiar with THEIR filter bubbles too).
Vaclav Smil is a no-nonsense guy and a person who doesn't need to believe in fairy tales to keep plowing ahead every morning

The sad thing is that back in the 80s and 90s fairy tales were about improving one's quality of life and the societal one. Dreams of Mustangs and Corvettes and Ferraris. Nowadays people consider stasis a victory. As long as it's green stasis (it won't be).

We can't go on like this, or people are gonna off themselves in mass way before global warming even becomes a moderate threat to their quality of life. We need to crank everything up at least to give them some relief from the lockdowns+inflation back to back trauma.

The word sacrifice suggests a religious connotation that seems worth exploring...

Indeed, sooo much energy is utterly wasted; but there's no getting through to the followers. You can scream and roar, wheedle and persuade, but they won't give up the idea that their sacrifices are necessary for the cosmic wheel to keep turning.

BTC (and other PoW) maxis are the priest class; bag holders are the wealthy funders getting the temples built. Missionaries get rewarded for bringing new acolytes into the fold.

Will the brutal religion survive? Or will it fall to a New Testament upstart?
This reminded me of hydrogen sulfide H2S[1] which then caused me to go back a look and sure enough, the book "Under a Green Sky" [2] was about runaway H2S and extinction events.

Is it really preventable though? Isn’t it pretty much a basic law of nature that resources will be consumed maximally? If you increase the amount of available energy, it too will be used up until a point where people on the fringes are left wanting. Not sure how you solve that short of some version of population control.

How would selling fire insurance or an electric hookup match my definition? For fire insurance to be racketeering the ones selling the insurance have to be the ones starting the fires. For PG&E... IDK they'd have to have invented work (J/s)? From the Wikipedia:

> Originally and often still specifically, racketeering may refer to an organized criminal act in which the perpetrators offer a service that will not be put into effect, offer a service to solve a nonexistent problem, or offer a service that solves a problem that would not exist without the racket.

It's unlikely (IMO) that GGP meant that they thought it would literally meet the legal definition of racketeering in a court room, more that the situation with email can be described in terms of the textbook definition.

Both. A 80 gsm ( = grams per square meter)A4 sheet has the same density as a 80 gsm A0 sheet (80 gsm= 80 gsm) but only 1/16th its weight (5g = 1/16×80g) since it only has 1/16th its area.
https://youtu.be/0OysQ7yQl_o

some background on why this 'wikipedia war' is happening.
It's not really coupled. It's more of a quid pro quo relationship.

There are two separate "find lost things" systems.

1. There is a system for finding online things. This is available on devices that have internet connections, and can only be used to find the device when it is online. The device uses its internet connection to report to a central server, which can then tell the owner where to find the device.

2. There is a system for finding things that aren't online. Devices that do not have an internet connection can use this system to let nearby devices know they are there. If those nearby devices have an internet connection, they can relay that sighting along with their location to a central server, which can then tell the owner where to find the missing devices. The relay to the server is protected by some clever public key cryptography so that the server doesn't find out whose device spotted the missing device or where it was.

An iPhone is capable of using both of those systems. There's a toggle for each of them in the settings.

If you want to be able to find your missing iPhone when it is offline you need to use the second system. If you only need to find it when it has an internet connection, you just need to use the first system.

It seems pretty fair. If you want to use other people's phones to find yours when it is offline, you have to let them use your phone to find their offline devices.

Ask HN: What is your reason for not choosing to use PHP for your next project?

Again, you are comparing 100 years of exponential innovation to yesterday's technology. Yes, even today you can print many metals (gold, silver, titanium, aluminum, Tungsten, stainless steel, etc.) and you can print glass and fibers– let alone what will be possible in the future. And we aren't just talking 3D printing when discussing home manufacturing–there are reductive tools like CNCs and lasers as well.

You can walk through any Target or Walmart and see hundreds of items the could be made at home in the future.

Right now, we have enough energy.

If every home was insulated and had a heat pump, we'd all be richer.

Why havent we done that?

Why, when the initial Ukraine invasion in 2014 caused a gas price spike, did Bjorn Lomborg and other climate change deniers write an article very much like this one, in which he advocated against more renewables, and instead said we needed to invest in research to find the real solution.

So here we are again, 8 years later, and we're doing the exact same thing? Fool me once...
Narrow your search. Web3 can be anything from supply chains to games to privacy. It’s a buzzword; instead search for your particular interests in decentralized applications. If your interest is finance, defillama.com provides fairly complete rankings and introductions to active projects.
You don't get that choice. Except for the biggest apps/companies, economics dictates that you'll probably get a packaged webapp as the alternative. With more tracking etc, less accessibility, and a little more drive space.

I mean an EV will have a different feeling. No need to attempt to simulate legacy stuff. Learn to work with the new stuff.

The interesting thing is with an EV you can customize the crap out of how the thing feels. You can (theoretically) tweak all the rates used by the controls to make it feel any way you want.
You can idle a ICE car for maybe 16 hours easily with a half-tank, although this varies a lot [1]. With rationing your fuel, running for 10-30 minutes for every hour, you can maintain survivable temperature for at least double that (32 hours on half tank) to perhaps 96 hours, or 4 days. Double that for a full tank of gas.

If you want EVs to take over, get feature parity with the current technology.

Which then ignores the efficiency of the generation of gasoline, which takes lots of energy input to refine it into the form useful for ICE vehicles..

You can play this game all day long, depending on which figure you want to land on. Efficiency is nice but the reason it hasn't mattered at all is that it is more about what is readily available and cheaply exploited.

<Fred Brooks quote here>

I worry we are skipping over an important design step by outsourcing our schema.

What tables and columns are involved in a database is just as much the business owners concern as it is the developers concern. There aren't a whole lot of situations where the developers can invent a fantasy schema that just happens to fit perfectly with everyone else's understanding of the business. There are also seriously powerful, multi-spectral dragons lurking for those who think they can lock their nasty schema behind an API and throw away the key.

In my experience, things tend to go a lot more smoothly when non-technical stakeholders can look at a sample excel workbook demonstrating the schema and agree with its contents. Every nasty workaround I have ever had to deal with at scale could ultimately be boiled down to a bad database schema or model that was poorly designed relative to the problem domain. How you arrange your data is the most fundamental part of any software. This all gets back to information theory and hard math at a certain level. The instructions are just a means to an end.

All of that said, we usually have to start somewhere and having a library of schema samples to review can serve as a powerful kickstart in the right direction. Just make sure you aren't inventing this in a vacuum relative to the business at hand.
That's a very badly written paper, to be honest. I mean, even knowing it was a hoax, I really expected that he somehow would have some speculative/creative content on the topic of "Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity", whatever that could mean, but it's just a bunch of misplaced quotes and summaries.

Flex box and Grid only help in creating layouts. It doesn't help anything with regards to reactivity, which is what most web UIs can lack compared to a desktop application.

IMO Flexbox and Grid only remove the need to have a stylesheet dedicated to layout like Bootstrap and foundation. That may be important for building tiny sites with no dependencies, but for an application, there will usually be a bunch of npm cruft required anyway. Having a bootstrap.min.css in the mix doesn't really impact my quality of life.

You can get private insurance. Have you looked into costs. I pay <$500/mo.
One possible solution to this problem is the Free, Open Source Software community continuing to work toward more sophisticated tech that can bridge the gap between popular server-side languages for Web Dev and native platforms. PhoneGap was a failure because it was JS running on the phone, rather than compiling to something faster and with a more “native feel”. React Native is, IMHO, not that much better (and the React ecosystem has ridiculous fragmentation and churn). Flutter seems cool, but Dart is not a popular server-side language (and from what I heard anecdotally, Flutter also has API complexity and churn).

Personally, I think Elixir is a natural choice for this kind of task (disclosure: I am incredibly biased in my love for Elixir).

Macro-based DSLs are not beloved by all, but they can take you pretty far with minimal overhead, since you can theoretically target multiple platforms without even having to ship a custom runtime to the phone. Aside from the language itself, there is a great community, less fragmentation and churn, and a tendency to build thoughtful, robust libraries and frameworks with good docs.

For inspiration, take a look at Mitch Hanberg’s Temple project[0] which compiles valid Elixir code to something that eventually gets turned into HTML.

DockYard is also doing really cool, bleeding edge stuff with LiveView Native[1], even if it’s a bit early to predict how viable it will be for large, complex apps.

If we can have a way to build efficient, truly native apps for multiple platforms using a stable, expressive API, a lot of the heartache associated with mobile development might fade away.

This is defeatist bullshit.

No one is arguing that the whole world needs to immediately live exactly like the richest citizens.

And not HTML5 games circa 2010. I remember reading a more recent tweet from a prolific web developer that 90% of his web HTML5 games from that era are broken.

Meanwhile the AS2 Flash games I released on newgrounds in 2002 are still working fine.

I kind of feel like the people calling for the destruction of Flash didn’t have quite the same dedication for creating a robust platform out of web standards.
