Hundreds of millions move through those, including importers and exporters from foreign markets with mafia connections. A figurative hornet's nest to disturb.
Building something alone is how all projects start. A single person initiates it, either by proposing it, by planning it or by building it. That initiation is the result of a single vision.

At some point others are added (other people support the proposal, other people contribute to the design or other people join the building effort), and that vision will not be perfectly shared by everyone.

Sure, they may all be heading towards the same general idea, but the specific destination will be different to each member of the group.

The case for building something alone is the default case. Any change from the default case needs a motivation, such as:

1. The intended final product will be too large for a single person to build (for example, a single person can build a garage, but they won't be able to finish a skyscraper in their lifetime).

2. The intended final product has an ETA that is past the time when it is needed (for example, a single person can build a small house in a few years, but that is moot if they need that house in a few months (baby on the way, getting married, getting thrown out, etc))

3. The final product needs expertise from several different industries (for example, building a shed needs only building and a rudimentary engineering expertise, while building a bridge requires sign-off from multiple experts in different disciplines).

Now, when building a programming language, it's clear that none of the above are required: a single person can build it, can do so relatively quickly, and requires no other expertise than some undergrad CS (see Javascript).

To make it popular and useful, though, requires a ton of libraries, which is where the group/team approach is needed. A single person can probably not produce a standard library that (for example) is as comprehensive as that shipped with Java or C#.

Therefore, the author is on the right track here, so far. If, at some point, the author wants to add features to his language that makes it competitively useful with other languages in that domain, he will have to start accepting contributions.

Try to put up a shelter and watch the true colors of so-called liberals emerge. Happened here. Nimbys too when someone tries to build an apartment. Looks like one side is better at hiding human nature.
Conservatives tend to be transparent when they don't care about things. But that doesn't mean they care less - because that is a relative thing.

I gather homelessness in Seattle has been getting worse for years [0] and that the city is something of a liberal stronghold. So the question is open - are the liberals more compassionate, or are they merely identifying ineffective policies as compassion? Because I would expect real compassion would cause homelessness to decrease. More compassion -> less homelessness is the link I'd like to see if I were out there being compassionate. Or at least growth in line with population rather than exceeding it. Compassion implies that people are about to do something useful.

In short, what you observe is consistent with conservatives being less compassionate, but also consistent with conservatives being equally compassionate but more realistic about policy effectiveness.

I've been watching this space for ... 20 years? All that time Hydrogen cars have been right around the corner.

Nowadays it mostly seems to be people who, for some reason, hate battery electric vehicles and are pointing at the "coming soon" hydrogen vehicles as a reason why they still use an ICE.

Even though a hydrogen powered vehicle IS an EV except that ~80% of the battery is replaced with hydrogen tanks and a fuel cell...

(Yes, Toyota has a prototype car that can run on straight-up hydrogen for like 10 miles at a time)
"Sole use"? I can't imagine any remote-work job that forces you to have a work-only-desk and work-only-chair.

Outside work hours I use the same floor space for private stuff, like gaming on my PC with too many fans and lights.

Oh, sure, having a separate dedicated work-space is nice, cognitively speaking, but it's a wild exaggeration to claim it can't ever be dual-use.

A long time ago I read an article about burying plant materials.

Haven’t heard about it since, but it makes sense to me. Especially because many types of farming burns leftover bits of crops that can’t be used. Just bury it and you have sequestered carbon.

Good thing EV work on magic fairy dust with electric chargers appearing out of nowhere. Too bad most EV proponents are oblivious to the fact that electricity is made with the same fairy dust powering the ICE cars.
The tech community is one of most interesting communities : on one hand there are overwhelmingly evangelists saying your language is “dead”, on the other hand that “dead” language is used by heroes who are changing the world.

Honestly...neurotic and counterproductive. You have to add too much useless words to make it fit. Most of these comments could be much shorter and easier to read. Also too much separators and whitespace around those comments.
I would say that'd be a Tailwind anti-pattern, since Tailwind exceeds by trying to do away with cascading, and BEM is an attempt to componentize CSS but retain some cascading.

Also, if you handed me a project with that approach, I would run for the hills! How would you decide when to use BEM styling and when to use the tailwind classes? It'd be a nightmare.

Sridhar Vembu is an incredibly thoughtful man.

Ah! I see. Have a wonderful day.
As a life long programmer who has also led teams of other programmers I would say lighten up on the expectation of formal math. While this example sounds a real good one, there are different kinds of programmers who excel and conventional maths aren’t consistently their strong suit (though logic and algorithmic thinking may be imperative.)

One thing which is curious, how many good programmers aren’t formally trained as programmers. I once worked for a guy who began as a finance geek who started his own million dollar company by teaching himself how to program. One thing that impressed me was his ability to sit down and power through things until he got them done. Unlike myself, who avoids doing work until the perfect solution emerges from the problems’ complexity (and then writes the minimum amount of code in the most abstract form to get the job done.)

Success takes many forms, so exclude nothing by expectation!

Yeah the whole royal family going there en masse and simultaneously (even on the same plane in some cases) says to me she died sometime before the announcement so that the royals themselves got some semblance of a chance to deal with it and process it themselves privately first before it literally being the only thing in UK media for the next 20 days.

My bet is that not long after she met with the PM.

She had two birthdays (personal and official) so two dates of death doesn't seem so far fetched

One San Francisco-specific building code that might make it difficult to subdivide an office building into smaller rooms is SFBC 1204 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/s... that requires almost all habitable rooms to have a window for natural light. In San Francisco, we trust mechanical ventilation, but for some reason we don’t trust electric lights. I think this code is an obsolete holdover that has nothing to do with health or safety anymore.
To slightly correct you, as I think you’re misreading the tweets, he said the change in the consensus of wanting memory safety to not caring about it was a massive step back for the industry.

He was asking if the idea of memory safety was consensus and didn’t say that things against it were not consensus.

Solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, tidal, and geothermal all power EVs, none of those power ICEs.
Should it be, though?

Forget the US constitution entirely, in the abstract why should a country not mandate that if a municipality provide water service, that it be safe to drink? Is that inherently different from setting minimum standards for pollution etc? The water's still unsafe to drink regardless of the cause.

Ask HN: Should a startup block EU countries at first?
I previously lived in the EU and was instrumental in bringing a 100ish employee B2B SaaS company into GDPR compliance. We weren’t in the business of disrespecting personal information, but compliance nonetheless took and continues to take a lot of time and money.

I am now outside the EU and looking to create a new B2B SaaS. It doesn’t really seem viable for a single founder to create a GDPR compliant operation.

Does it make sense to simply block all EU countries until a business has grown big enough that the benefit of access to the EU market outweighs the costs and risk?
Very cool.

Now what I want is something that will scan a pile of rocks and tell me how to put them together to build a wall with minimal space between them.

Ceiling version is an interesting idea, thought impractical: it will need some additional mechanics to achieve a non-neck-bending view angle even for low ceilings.
EV are at least currently more expensive upfront to buy than ICE cars so we'll naturally get less of them.

We'll also probably get a lot more of small EV (especially in cities) than we got small ICE cars.

I really wish people in favor of non car transit would spend less than 100% of their time criticizing people owning/looking for an EV and never say a word on fossil cars that people continue buying.

Their time would be much better spent on promoting mass transit (with electric bus/whatever), walkable and cyclist friendly development and telling people about health, atmospheric pollution and noise issues around fossil cars.

To fight climate change we need both EV and more mass transit/walking/cycling, and less ICE car and buses.

And timing is critical so all at the same time.
Hi, my name is Shijith and I'm a freelance data journalist from India.

Just wanted to plug my new story on streaming services in India and how well they cover western music.

I specifically look at much access they give to critically-acclaimed albums from the past and present.

I used features like 'Best Albums Ever', 'Best albums of 2021' and so on from top music publications and websites to come up with a list of albums in each genre (Rock, EDM etc.) these services should have.

Services were rated out of 10 in each genre, with the rating corresponding to what percent of the album list they have in their library. Guess it won't be a surprise for people in India that Apple or Spotify came first in most lists.

In the overall rating that looks at performance across all genres, the top four spots were taken by global services — Spotify (9.3/10), Apple Music (9.3), YouTube Music (8.9) and Amazon Music (8.5). Of services based in India, only JioSaavn (8.1) came anywhere close.

There's all this and more in my blog post at https://shijith.com/blog/music-streaming-india/

And if you're interested in my code it's here: https://github.com/shijithpk/music-streaming-india

If you have any questions or feedback, do let me know. Thanks! -shijith

If yes, Cloudflare is also responsible for death (and more of them) and should be shut down, if no then Kiwifarms is not responsible for death.
Nothing ignorant here, especially considering the fact that it's the cities which are brimful of cars.
We can generate electricity in a dozen different ways. Some of the sources are practically unlimited. Some pollute more than others. But as we transition to less polluting electricity generation methods ALL existing EVs magically become less polluting.

There is only one power source for ICE cars: dead dinosaurs. The source will run out eventually. All ICEs pollute the same amount during their lifetime, usually more the older they get because of wear and tear and lack of maintenance.

> EPA reporting that the city tried to hide for more than a year

Sounds like the mayor hid the EPA report from the city council. Not sure how something like that can happen.
That’s very cleverly put by you.

But it doesn’t have to be so black and white. A person can be kind, thoughtful, help poor folks out … and still harbour hateful ideologies in their heart. Humans are complicated enough that this contradiction is common enough. You think the people who supported the KKK never gave to charity?

For non-Indians, some background on the RSS. This was the organisation which was banned for involvement in the assassination of Gandhi. When they were unbanned, it was predicated on a promise of never being involved in politics and elections. They got around that by creating a political wing (the BJP, ruling India for the last 8 years).

Till date, the RSS is committed to the core ideology of Hindutva, which envisions India as a purely Hindu state, made solely of Hindus. That’s ominous, considering the hundreds of millions of Indian Muslims and Christians.

Lastly, it’s curious that you call out the bogeyman of “media opposition”. Very Trump like. What you fail to mention is that nearly all the media is allied to the BJP-RSS. The few holdouts (like NDTV) will soon be taken over as well.

The largest unintended consequence of mainstream photography, especially colour photography, might be a change in how we see reality.

Without some sort of shared anchor, no two people see one scene the same way. A mind constantly predicts and filters things based on prior experience unique to that mind; what we see is heavily shaped by what we expect to see, our current mood, whom we are with, what we did before, what we are smelling, etc. When we stand on a roof of a building and look in the same direction, I see an intricate tangle of colorful pencil towers, you see traffic jams and potholes, she sees that one annoying advertisement billboard, he sees grey polluted air. What color is that sky? Is your blue the same as my blue?

Until mainstream consumer photography, the only way to convey and compare what we see was through words or painting.

Now that we all have cameras in our pockets, anchoring is finally at our disposal. The camera sensor takes in light values beyond what any reproduction medium can handle and fits it into a tiny display-referred space, throwing away any subjectivity as well as a good chunk of colour and dynamic range.

Is this a blessing or a curse? Do we mistakenly believe that a bland JPEG render or film print—designed by camera or film developer to suit the widest possible variety of scenes, and thus fitting almost no scene perfectly (and definitely not geared towards conveying what we actually see)—is what reality is actually like? When we anchor to that, are we unconsciously limiting our perception and imagination?
Good question and I’m afraid I’m not knowledgeable enough about the topic to know it.
There were a lot of people reacting to this on twitter like it was either "one of those wacky British hobbies" or "one of those weird rich people things they do when they conspire against the poor", but it's actually so historical in Europe it might've come from the PIE people.

Well first of you get infinite smoothness and better lighting (and reflections if you add them) because there is no underlying geometry. It's just math. It's also much faster, as you're only giving the GPU four vertices defining the square. This can even be sped up further by using point sprites which consume only one vertex.
If you could ask a fish what swimming in water is like, they would answer "What's 'water'?" People are so used to in kind subsidies for cars that many don't realize the extent of these supports.

Toll-free highways and roads. Mandated parking minimums. Free on-street parking. Zoning laws banning anything but single family houses cite increased traffic and parking demand "caused" by denser construction (but this exclusionary zoning itself increases demand for driving). If you hit someone with your car, stay at the scene, and are not drunk criminal liability will not attach. Driver's license and insurance requirements are kept low. The US Government finances moving to suburbs with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Reserve buys mortgage backed securities. In many cities the majority of downtown land is roads and parking!

When you have lived your whole life in cities that are designed automobile first and automobile only, and public transit is either non-existent or still underfunded compared with cars, then you will ask for a car based solution. An individual can only choose between choices they know exist, based on the information they have access to.

My father could wear whatever he wanted most of his woodworker/painter career, as he was a solo artisan. But when he worked at a carpenter company, the company had to give him ffp2 masks, pay him security shoes, a hard hat and leather gloves for him to work onsite.

I mean, any decent company should do that for their workers, and maybe they would've without regulations, but do you expect companies to always do the decent thing?
