Hi there! OP here, very open to feedback and questions. Because there doesn't seem to be a single canonical way to do localization in React, I got stuck down a rabbit hole of exploring all the different options (and there are many!). Here's a write up of my findings, which I hope might be useful to someone else in the planning stages. In other words, you haven't already decided you want to use a particular library, but want to see at a high level the pros and cons of different approaches (e.g. i18n libraries, CMS'es, automated services etc).
> Interesting point that RAM has basically not moved up in consumer computers in 10+ years... wonder why.

It used to be great. Chrome without the Google tracking and some Microsoft tracking that was easy enough to disable.

Then they completely Microsofted it up. More tracking than Google, with more opting out you need to do and no way to opt out completely. Even comes with an interest free loan plugin that sometimes alters the HTML of checkout pages.

Edge is the bloated corpse of what could be the best new browser from the last 10 years. A corpse that keeps coming back to life, trying to replace your default browser every other Windows update.

Ignoring security for a moment: Say you want to write a web application in Rust. You want to ship your web application to your users. You don't want your users to have to wait for the whole application to compile and download all dependencies; you want to ship some precompiled stuff. What do you ship?

We could have some web standard where we ship native code to the user, which the user's machine then executes directly (using some form of sandboxing). Maybe we could have a standard API so that the operating system's interfaces don't play a role. But you still have to ship x86_64, aarch64, ARM32, RISC-V 32, RISC-V 64, MIPS, PowerPC, etc. And you'll need to support multiple versions of all these different instruction sets; some users may have old x86 machines without SSE, so you need a version of your x86 code with x87 floats rather than SSE floats. And you need one version of your ARM native code with hard floats for machines with FPUs, and one version with soft floats for machines without. And you need to constantly add new variations as new instruction sets or new versions of old instruction sets are released.

I don't trust most websites to get all of this correct. And if websites got it wrong, or if websites ever stopped adding new targets, or ever removed supports for old targets, we would end up with a web which isn't usable on certain CPU architectures, which is the opposite of what the web is all about.

The alternative is that we have some specification for intermediate code which is low level enough to be a universal compile target but abstract enough to be possible to compile to essentially any CPU architecture. That's what WASM is.

I still don't know where the quote came from, its context, or if it is a quote in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I am legitimately puzzled by this exchange.
SRAM cells need 6 transistors. DRAM cells need a transistor and a capacitor.

6 transistors aren't dense, so are capacitors in integrated circuits. Comparatively with NAND, it only needs one (floating gate) transistor.

My guess is that there is zero correlation between all those products you mention, and Github. DownDetector is interesting, but I find it to have more noise than signal.

> countries without that or with less generally have better outcomes at less cost.

This isn't necessarily a great metric, because almost all countries have better outcomes and all countries have lower per capita cost, whether their systems are public, private, or mixed. The US spends more public funds on healthcare than countries with universal socialized health care systems. The fact that we're also personally bankrupted after spending the same tax proportion on healthcare is just a bonus.

It's not specifically private healthcare or insurance that's the problem, it's the specific corruption of the people who own the healthcare industry and their legislators.
Yeah, I guess it depends on whether you interpret them as separate.

It is possible to think of it in a cause-and-effect way "Defragging my hard drive for thrills got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM". Which, honestly, I could see Al saying that as a purposefully absurd statement (because the first could not cause the second, but people brag like that all of the time).

I will admit that, although it seems like it should be (given my profession), this is not one of my favorite Weird Al songs --and I've been a fan for decades. So while I have heard it many times, I can't remember the last time I listened to it.
To me, if the code is not "as simple as possible, but not simpler", it is not beautiful.

There was a very beautiful idea for solving the same sort of problem back in 1991 called Cone Trees: https://research.tableau.com/sites/default/files/p189-robert...

Computing speed and rendering power were the barriers for a long time, and those have long fallen. But a larger headache is that navigation gets really unwieldy as the trees grow. I do a lot of stuff with graph visualization (conversational structures, community structures) and you have to do a lot of pruning, filtering, and bundling.

The audience for any given graph is inversely proportional to the number of nodes visible. Once you go past 100-ish nodes layouts start to seem arbitrary and once you go past a few hundred most people's eyes just glaze over. You can make the graph more readable with smart choices about color and node size but it's a constant signal:noise battle.
I think a larger mission with some sort of airship dropping little science packages would yield quite a trove of data without the entire mission burning up in an hour. Hopefully the success of the little Martian helicopter gives mission planners something to think about. -edited to add, something like a molten salt battery could travel to Venus completely inert and only become active as it warms, also acting as a heat sink.
Who ever said corporate IT was smart?
Nature does not 'manage to manufacture'. Genomic changes occur by random chance.

For example, nature did not intend to manufacture smallpox, when that became a thing 4-5000 years ago. Instead, some random pox virus (like monkey pox) infected some people and random changes happened to produce smallpox, which became endemic in the human population. Then, another mutation happened that caused hemmorhagic smallpox to become a thing and to start killing people (the vast majority of smallpox strains do not have high death rates, although they can cause bad disability, although no one knows if they would with modern medicine).

So nature can produce anything a human can. But certainly, human intervention to make a disease worse can also make terrible diseases.
I am not trying to debate how labor markets work. I’m pushing back against conflating working from the office with terrible commutes.

Yes, they are related, but the cause of the terrible commute is not necessarily having a job that requires you to come into the office, it’s the shitty infrastructure we’ve built for ourselves
Wow you really got me there
It happened to me and I was also confused. I saw it wasn't on the status page, and I thought, GitHub must be like Amazon, unwilling to admit fault on the status page.
Sure, words can't hurt you, but coordinated harassment campaigns can, and, for the mentally feeble, like CWC, words can coax you, over enough time, to act in your worst interests.
I'm unclear what specifically in those links do you think contradicts what I said. The lab theory being discussed in scientific circles does not change the fact that politicians are the ones who pushed it into public discourse for their own gain and not because of any scientific pursuit of truth.

Also side note, an opinion piece from the New York Post isn't exactly the most trustworthy source.
> ...a proposal to live the same comfortable, affordable and energy-efficient lifestyle as the author.

I figured I'd get a response like that.

> Why are you so triggered by that?

I'm not triggered. You were suggesting to coercively force major lifestyle choices (that just happen to be yours) onto other people (which "how about moving the the working/middle class..." clearly communicates). If you think that's fine, then you should give your empathy some exercise, and think about being treated similarly yourself.
Switzerland has very strictly and non-deniable obligatory minimum (very broad in coverage) insurance, with regulated yearly price adjustments and on top of that, publicly funded hospitals and clinics (mostly unprofitable but of high quality and offering treatments that would not be profitable for private hospitals) that issue their bills to the health insurances. And, to put the icing on the cake, there are treatments and operations (e.g. congenital defects and invalidity-related) that are directly billed to the public social insurance (funded by salary deductions) to help health insurances reduce their risk.

Switzerland's compulsory private health insurance is nothing comparable to other countries' private insurance. There is "additional private insurance" in Switzerland (covering alternative medicine treatments, access to single bed rooms in hospitals, etc.) which do operate as private insurances elsewhere.

Yeah, in general macros allow for Rust to do these things just fine. I wouldn't say that it's a fair statement at all.
The problem with that argument is that browsers don't compete on engines but on features, UX and integration (and bundling). All an engine is about, is webcompat (and Chrome wins here). It's literally not a differentiating feature. A good engine is an engine that never, ever fails to render a webpage (again, Chrome wins here).

Even if Gecko was fully on-par with Blink (I keep hearing from Firefox users that they struggle with some websites, though admittedly very few, but Chrome obviously works fine with them), they'd have just invested millions in man-hours to get to the starting line, and have webpages not fail to render.

A lot of companies might switch to Firefox if they switched to Blink and webcompat was never an issue. I've argued before that Firefox would benefit from switching to Blink (and gain better security, webcompat, enterprise support, and on and on), save tons of manpower and money, and compete on privacy, features, integration, and things users actually care about, as well as keeping Manifest v2, and patching out other Chrome-badthings. But that's basically Brave.

Understandably, since they're for a boat and the whole point is to move the boat, that's not actually electricity. They mostly make steam, which is used to turn propellers, which are used to move the boat.

They do make some electricity, well, by domestic standards it's a lot of electricity, but in terms of a country's need for electricity it's a drop in the bucket. The Ford is probably capable of making 125MW of electricity (details are classified) and is the only carrier of its type in service for a year or two yet. Older US carriers have smaller, less capable reactors and are less equipped to generate electricity from the steam.

How much is 125MW? Well, roughly this, one random mid-size wind farm: https://www.scottishpowerrenewables.com/pages/black_law.aspx

Admittedly you decide when you get 125MW from your aircraft carrier, whereas the wind blows when it likes - and the carrier is portable, sort of, but that's just not very much juice and it's the only one of its kind in the world.

> When 18 year old kids with no income are taking out tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of loans to pay for an education, the question of whether that education will allow them to make enough money to pay it back is pretty important

I kind of feel like a sensible solution is to allow easy access to student loans for first two years, then as a student moves into a specific field of study, we start limiting the easy access to student loans and start evaluating loan approvals based on fields of study and the student’s academic success.

Seems like it would discourage a couple of things, one, continuing to rack up debt for degrees with limited income potential, and two pursuing said limited income potential degrees just to get a degree.
Don't get why you would use it over Solid (https://www.solidjs.com). I guess to keep compat with React ecosystem but moving React components to Solid is trivial. Solid signals have better DX & I think are more performant.
And I’m saying all commutes are both terrible and optional, and only management policy makes them necessary.

Btw, I commuted for 10 years by train. It was awful. I’d rather commute by car and moved so I could.

Sure, it can cost money to use Dall-e and all things take a certain amount of trail and error to attain the desired result, but does it make any sense for an artist to even use this system, when they spent a significant amount of time learning their craft and skills to begin with; why then just opt out of the creative process entirely and leave it to someone else to create something for you?

Maybe systems like Dall-e can serve a purpose for some individuals but the art is not something you crafted, from your imagination, with your skills and talents.

I think we should take a step back and ponder the wider implications of these fakeries created by algorithms and the implications it has for us all.
the more you look into it the more it seems like desperation to allow them to claim whatever they want about the website and not be bothered to show archives to prove it... this comment section alone...

Luckily, Git is decentralized, so that shouldn't be an issue.
> I'm sure Epik and Vultr have their lines as well, it just happens that none of their customers have crossed it yet.

Indeed they do, which makes me a happy customer. Knowing how inflammatory their other customers are, it brings me great comfort in knowing that their free speech is honored as much as mine. If either of them pulled a "Cloudflare moment" at the same scale, I'd probably start looking for other hosting providers.

> Slowing them down is still a valid goal.

...did we do that, though? The past 2 months have done nothing but put KiwiFarms in the spotlight. Instead of privately petitioning Cloudflare to change their policy, we drew battle lines and took to Twitter. All KiwiFarms ever wanted was attention, and we gave them more attention than they could have ever hoped for. Do people seriously think they're going to struggle to bounce back after an attack like this? Giving online organizations a platform has been a huge mistake in the past, like treating "Anonymous" as anything other than the default name for 4chan posters.

> you have to concede that the platform and its reach matters

Absolutely. That's why I'm afraid that attacking the platform now will cause it to become harder to attack. It's already increased it's reach, the recent media hubbub has ensured that everyone knows about KiwiFarms. I guess the Streisand effect is lost on modern internet users...

> Without the website, the people couldn't harass as well as they could with it.

Right. Now imagine how much worse things would get if there wasn't a website, but a Tor hidden service. Or a closed Matrix homeserver. Or an IPFS bulletin board. The sky is the limit, and I'd go as far as to argue that they were the least harmless on the surface web. Only time will tell, though.

> And the size, reach and convenience of the network matters in that regard, just as the capacity, rate of fire and caliber of a gun matters

Well... no. This is something that has been proven time and time again in America; banning certain types of guns doesn't work. Banning an AK doesn't stop someone from chopping their Glock 17 and clearing a room at half the price. Gun legislation doesn't correlate with a reduction in firearm violence. The capacity, rate of fire and caliber never mattered, just the fact that the gun existed in the first place. If we're not going to ban guns outright, what's the point in picking-and-choosing which ones are-and-aren't perceived as harmful?

Obviously it's a reductive argument, but the same thing goes for free speech. By choosing to draw the line somewhere, we're giving other people the go-ahead to draw different lines. We're giving world governments the tools they need to oppress LGBT users. We're drawing the blueprints for a new era of information suppression, and nobody seems to care since both sides have started beating the "muh terrorism" and "think of the children!" drums, respectively. And when has that ended well for internet freedom in the past?
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Every house had plumbing in the walls & under the floor, but not in every wall. Normal houses, not.. a showroom for fountains!
That’s kinda the whole point. A couple of centralized gateways can be the main hosts, like Protocol Labs and Cloudflare, and provide the best performance, and also compete with each other on the same content hash. If one or both of them goes down, any user in the world can re-host the data by pinning it, if they still happen to have the file on disk or if they’ve backed it up.
Free market? Capitalism. I know we're on HN but, say the word? Capitalists take a cut. Shareholders of big pharma, insurance companies and hospitals are why healthcare in the US is expensive. Public sector not being monopolistic is why healthcare in the US is expensive. In France, social security reimburses about 70% of most costs. Cheap private insurance reimburses the rest. About 75% of public hospitals and not for profit. Generic medicine being prescribed is the norm. The state naturally fixes healthcare prices because it's monopolistic on healthcare. Same as all public services.
I don't understand how defragmentation isn't an issue on SSDs.

It's mostly a filesystem problem, not a hardware problem.
My MacBook Pro M1 Max has 64 and an M2 Max will probably top out at 96 if they use Samsungs new 12 GB LPDDR5.

An entry Level laptop now comes with 16 GB. Scaling is just not as fast because with RAM either has sweet spots and swapping is much faster with SSDs. To be quite honest if you interpret his lyrics the people with lots of ram are Prosumers or professionals which can get 100gb of ram or more it’s not just about the SOCs
Good, in principle, I guess. I think this is a meaningless act, as I am unclear that archived threads were ever of any value to KF members.

Controversial opinion, but I think the internet archive shouldn't exist, and that the right to be forgotten trumps the right to outsource and automate the business of remembering. Maybe there is content worth saving, and maybe it ought to be manually scraped and preserved by a suitably interested individual.
No kidding. I got to the same paragraph and closed the tab. The author seriously buried the lede. What exactly is a “smart streetlight” and why is it of concern? I have no idea.
> Services We Proxy Through Brave Servers

So they're asking users to trust that their servers don't track them? Has there been any audit done on their infrastructure (a quick Google search didn't reveal anything)? How are they making sure that there are no employees who enable some simple tracking on their proxies for some extra cash?

True, it's probably far-fetched, and one could argue that "it's still miles better than Google", but (as some others further down have noted) Brave didn't have the best track record in the past (they tried tracking their users too...)
beyond Europe as well. Singapore which has exceptionally low healthcare spending (5.9% of GDP) heavily controls prices and purchases down to individual equipment in hospitals.

There is a free market currently with significantly different options.

Currently Apple and Google offer longer support, and then you have a bunch of other options that offer less, but also generally cost less.

Imposing this requirement will mean you can choose from Apple or Google and that's it.
