> "oh we just sold it"

Damn. This is exactly what happened to me when I bought my current car a few years ago. I found it used on the dealer website, it had everything I wanted and had <20k miles. I setup an appointment to see it on a friday, called thursday night just to make sure, "oh we just sold it, but we have a new one you can look at." I never even considered that they could just be lying.

Oh well, lesson learned I guess. It's paid off now, but I am looking at upgrading, and I'm gonna assume everything anyone at the dealership says is a lie until I see paperwork.
Staying under 1KiB is pretty hard when just plain text alone easily takes more than 1KiB.

Checking my own site with `find . -name '*.md' -exec wc -c {} + | sort -h` I find that 30 Markdown files are under 1KiB and 40 are over 1kiB. The largest file is a 18266 bytes post which is still quite small compared to most other blogs AFAICT. It also excludes the possibility of including images with more than a dozen pixels.
One option is fee-and-dividend, which pays all the revenue back out to the population, equal amount per capita.

You still have an incentive to reduce emissions, because your dividend is the same regardless and you can reduce your fees. And since most people's net emissions are less than average, most people come out ahead.
Probably not. However, it seems that regardless of what they predict, nothing will happen.

Humanity is like a toddler, only learns when you feel the consequences, rather than learning by being told about it. Also like a stubborn toddler like first needing to experience an almost trauma to change behavior, and apparently we haven't had that trauma yet.
What are the minimum viable requirements to be a social platform? Would it be different than a social media platform? To me this would be like irc with commands then every sent message/email would reply not to everyone but return something like a html page where the user could modify text commands based on the returned message.
I don't remember hearing much about anxiety or depression, but do remember hearing about things like alcoholism, domestic violence, and 'laziness.' I'm pretty sure these are largely the same psychological issues- it's just people used to hide it, and deny it even to themselves- so you would only see the resulting dysfunction. Nowadays people are getting a diagnosis and treatment rather than just silently suffering and hiding it.
It's true, but I don't think this has anything to do with decriminalization. Covid and the months of protests and Portland becoming a target for Proud Boys and the like, those are what destroyed downtown. (AFAIK, the rest of Oregon hasn't been hit in the same way at all. Even the rest of Portland is still pretty cool.)

I think in theory you would be right, but practically Joe Biden isn't going to ask regular citizens if he should allow export of Natural Gas to European nations.

Majority of citizens just accept the half-truth that Putin's War caused high gas (both natural and petroleum) for everyone, and that there's nothing that can be done except end the war.

Europe needs to suffer for their poor decisions. Enough of the US swooping in and solving European mistakes... then getting villainized for being the world's safety net.
Are you Walter Bright, the creator of D? If yes, I was thinking of writing a proposal for WG14 some time in the future regarding slices/fat pointers. Would it be ok if I modelled it after the extension found in the betterC compiler, at least when it comes to syntax?
I don’t understand the discussion people are having here.

Musk is demonstrably good at identifying interesting problem spaces, finding things a new company could do better in them, convincing people who have capital to invest, building, growing and leading a team able to successfully tackle the challenge and communicating with the outside world in a way generating a tone of interest and buy in. In short, he is very good at his job which is being a CEO. Musk is not working in engineering.

Someone in this discussion said he lucked out on the team at SpaceX. That’s a gross misunderstanding of why he is good. The managing team of SpaceX and especially Shotwell is Musk great achievement.

Python's type hints are undecidable. You cannot know, without evaluating the type-level program if it will halt.

The only way around this would be to set a recursion depth, which changes the semantics.

But if you do think, that for $12 I get to be treated like an dog, too bad, there's enough options for me to take my business elsewhere.
> I'll use all funds to plant trees or whatever,

It's even dumber than that. You just have to promise not to chop down some existing trees that you would chop down in the absence of payments. Nevermind if you really would chop them down or not. Or if you've already sold the same promise on the same grove of trees to another buyer.
We know DNA and and even semi self replicating biochem molecules can form both in the presence and absence of gravity. It requires a suitable energy gradient though, and I like the idea that cyclical changes in the energy gradient are required for evolution to occur rather than stagnating in a specific state. This is partly why tidepools are an interesting candidate for early life.
So many long-forgotten companies advertising!

So many modems!

I know someone who was a grad student at that time, and how excited he was to get a 2400 baud modem and his own VT-100 for work on the VAX.

That grad student was me, though today it seems almost impossible to remember what it was like back then. I do remember ruining a colleague's line-by-line source printout by sending a console message that read, "Andropov just died."
> if you aren't specifically assigned tasks you're basically expected to go through the backlog to hunt for things to do. In most companies the backlog is never empty and so you don't really get any time for any of these ancillary tasks.

This is addressed on a comment on one of the answers: They had three sprints worth of backlog until Bob joined and burned through it all.
Not in Europe it did not, it was all about QuickBasic, Turbo Pascal and TASM over here.

And if we go into the Amiga it was about Assembly and AMOS mostly.

On Apple, Object Pascal and Assembly, HyperCard, MPW with C++ came later into the pictures.

On thing I do agree, by the time Windows and OS/2 were taking off, C++ on the PC was everywhere and only masochistics would insist in using C instead of C++ frameworks like OWL, MFC or CSet++.

The initial analogy in this video is totally useless.

In general, though, the water analogy is actually quite good. The electron gas in conductors behaves a lot like a normal fluid. It easily covers linear components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Nonlinear components like transistors and diodes require more extensive analogy that is no longer very accurate.

The rest of the video seems pretty good though.

That information is relatively well known to those familiar with the field of clonal hematopoiesis, and was likely omitted for brevity. It is not reasonable to expect lay public level of background information to be included in every discipline's scientific publications.

How is that just "bookkeeping"? These are benefits that provide an actual tangible benefit to oil and gas companies. The fact that some of these subsidies are happening in other industries doesn't mean it's not a subsidy...
It might sound odd but I can purr by exhaling while closing my lips and putting my tongue at a certain position. This has interesting outcomes, such as understanding why cats purr! Yes because I also do it from time to time and somehow I can imagine the situations one might have that need to purr. That's why I was bit puzzled while reading the article because the purring is an understandable act to me, not scientifically but psychologically.

I blame Facebook/Twitter/Social for this.

With their rise in mid 2000s, having a framework with which you could manipulate the entire dom real-time to reflect the state in the backend have been accepted as obligatory.

Whereas in reality, aside from the neat templating that frameworks like React bring to the frontend, there is absolutely no need for the majority of web applications to be able to send micro updates to the client like how it is obligatory for social networks or other apps that are heavy in user interaction.

The least thing that you would want to do when a user is going through an ecommerce checkout process is to manipulate the dom and change stuff that could distract the user from the checkout process, for example. If you need to update some info with the changing quantities in the cart or address, that could as well be done with simpler stuff like jQuery - considering that your site does not have such features that will cause your jQuery to bloat.

There is even less need in the majority of the web where only content is consumed - how much interactivity do you need for a news article at the guardian or even your local-news blog? The user will just want to read the article. He or she may not even bother to comment (and likely wont), and when they comment, you definitely don't need a full fledged framework manipulating the dom to post and refresh the comments section. HTML and the browser already sort that out.

...

The overall idea is sound, yes. A better form of presenting and manipulating the dom is a good thing. But, the bloated frameworks and the dependency hell that we created for ourselves do not look like the way to do it.
> Apple supporters don't seem to understand RCS is supposed to replace SMS/MMS - not replace iMessage.

There may be some people who (wrongly) think that but I don't, my objection to RCS is because it's carrier-dependent and Google pretty much owns the "standard", I don't want a new messaging system with either of those things. SMS is fine for 2FA (for sites that refuse to let me use my 2FA app) and for all other chat there are a ton of other great alternatives. We don't need RCS, it's a solution in search of a problem and it has some very bad flaws IMHO. If I want "google messaging" I'll install their app, I don't want a new messaging platform forced on me that will stagnate and fall behind what will become the new "table stakes" for chat apps in a few years time.

I have a mini-rant about that. When a company decides to use Angular (for example), they're also deciding to jump on the rat-wheel that is constant upgrades to the next version.

Meanwhile, that vanilla app will just keep working in perpetuity.

If the H in your LiH is deuterium, absorbing neutrons would be OK, because that makes tritium. Not quite as much as lithium absorbing them, but better than anything else.

Hundreds of tons of deuterium in your thousands of tons of terrifyingly inflammable LiD would be expensive. But if we balk at expense, we won't get fusion power.

Most of us do, in fact, balk at expense, for reasons. But the topic here is what would be needed for fusion to be made to work at all. $2B worth of deuterium to help breed tritium is not much for a $100B fusion plant.

Extracting your few grams of tritium every day from a thousand tons of LiD may be called somebody else's problem.
If you mean framework devs, I disagree that they don't care about you. Frameworks are generally free and open-source, so creating a valuable product for the community is arguably all they care about. Maybe meeting the specific domain needs of an individual user is not compatible with their implementation or roadmap, but it's not because the devs don't care.

I was not recommending Wix, and obviously there are plenty of downsides to using something like it. The fact remains that it has captured a lot of the market that would have used vanilla HTML/CSS in the past. That is what the OP was asking about.

Learning Rust: Async Combinators
I think you've got the building blocks, but to really capture the "sometimes evolution is stupid" feel, you have to mention stuff like Javascript was created in ten days under some stupid deadline, with a stupid insistence that it have "Java" in the title. Or CSS being -- if not orthogonal to, at least wildly unparallel with -- against the grain of basic design principles like Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity, then that awkwardness causing generations of table-based alignment solutions. And demands unforeseen, like piping video over HTTP. Take a step back for a second and think about that: we've got all of this stuff layered atop what was originally just a handful of specs on how to push barebones scientific papers around. Let's give a nod to Ports 80 and 443 uber alles, because of convenience, for video. And then the reaction -- well, how do we throttle this properly? We'll have to inspect, when before we just throttled the video ports for whatever video protocol we were working with.

It's a history of one decision after another, made hastily, often in anger, and it's how we got ... here.

Overall, I struggle to see how this is a bad thing. Take the example at the start of the article:

1. Two decades ago, the UN set up a program for selling voluntary carbon credits under the assumption that renewables would not be price-competitive for a very long time, if ever, and would therefore need a subsidy.

2. Companies started buying those credits, even though they didn't have to, just to look good to consumers. As a result, the subsidy didn't cost taxpayers a dime.

3. Renewable technology developed faster than expected (in part due to the subsidy). Now renewables are competitive with fossil fuels and projects would be built even if companies didn't buy the credits.

People should be absolutely thrilled by this outcome.
The purpose of a React component is more than just rendering HTML nodes. Furthermore SSR can only do so once per page load
We developed El to be as minimal as possible, while still solving the problem of keeping state and interface in sync:

https://github.com/frameable/el

It's just ~150 lines / 2kb, and leverages existing browser functionality to accomplish most of the hard parts. Has observability, reactive templates, scoped CSS, no need for a build process, etc.
But isn't making renewable energy more profitable still a good thing?

It still incentivises building wind farms quicker, and the more wind farms we have the less dependent we are on gas.
> That's just plain false.

I think it's subjective. If 90% of your results are ads, then it's not actually better. What I believe it boils down to is what you search for, and slightly how you search. Personally I'm at a point now that if DDG can't find something, then neither can Google. The difference is that Google will yank out the primary keyword, if it thinks that will yield results, but those are obviously always wrong.

Some things are unsearchable on bother DDG and Google, topics like weightloss, have just been SEO'ed to death and are no longer available online. Others maybe two ads on DDG, but an entire page on Google.
What repercussion to expect? TFA is literally about Facebook doing the same thing, today.

JSX wasn't created whole cloth for React. It had predecessors it drew upon and there was more "foresight and wisdom" than what you are dismissing. E4X was a direct syntactic forebear. "MVU" approaches (the pattern that results in "render functions") have been quite popular in functional programming languages for a few years before React adopted it. The performance benefits of Virtual DOM were almost incidental to implementing the "MVU approach". (They helped sell it a lot, and React wouldn't have lasted if it didn't yield good performance, but the approach existed outside of just the performance benefits, including the developer experience benefits.)

JSX is easy to dismiss as a "hack to solve problems", but there was more thought put into it than is immediately obvious. It's no less a template language than other template language. It has trade-offs and advantages. At least it's not pretending to not be a template language like Angular's pretends to "just be HTML" even though it is very much not just HTML (and is closer to ColdFusion, to be unjust).
Thats true. Thanks, I was trying to think of the name.
> I don't understand what problem they're trying to solve

Building highly stateful / interactive web apps. If your web app is sufficiently complex enough then your vanilla js solution will just become an undocumented framework in disguise. When you build a homegrown system that manages components and their lifecycles (reacting to state changes) then you've written a framework that no one else has experience or knowledge of.

> What makes the trade-off of all that extra complexity and abstraction worth it?

Interactive UI's that react to state changes are hard to manually manage as complexity increases. Your UI and state are connected by an undocumented large state machine. These frameworks essentially allow you to define how your state, in any shape it may take, should be reflected in the UI (DOM).

> Aren't HTML/CSS/JS perfectly fine and time-tested tools for web development on their own?

Sure, but all of the frameworks are written in JS and you write plain JS to use them. You might use something like JSX or TypeScript for convenience, but these are turned into plain JS. They're also not required, they've just become standard because of how convenient they are.

Are there any examples of self-hosted Reddit that are still online? I’m curious how it works.
Absolutely, but this is a particular feature of product-oriented tech companies. Enterprise could maybe work like that but usually doesn't. Consultancy absolutely can't. This is why it's so important to work in Silicon Valley and not just any software development role.
I think every input source on the TV has a software solution to move the UI elements around, because the developers know burn-in exists. The TV displays a screensaver if the input cuts out. I do have an old receiver that wants to display a constant blue screen when it loses input so I took steps to make sure my setup is configured to prevent that (use the TV as an HDMI switch and it sends audio to the receiver).

I know burn-in was a big deal back in the plasma TV days, but on the current generation of OLEDs I don’t think it’s as common. Every OLED I’ve seen in real life looked amazing.
I'm skeptical that students given a doctored slide rule would fare any better in a similar study. There's nothing inherent to a slide rule that gives you a better sense for what the result should be. You do have to keep track of order of magnitude, but that's only going to marginally help you if we're talking about factor of 2 errors.

well, not all liquids hydrate the same. Some even de-hydrate (coffee, seltzer water etc.). The water you're drinking is not pure, it always has some impurities which affect how much you hydrate drinking it. Pure water (distilled) is "undrinkable" for humans. I can see how a water with ions and whatnot (like a gatorade) can hydrate and replenish your electrolytes better.
