Figma will never be good at dev handoff because it isn't built on HTML/CSS rendering, so its code output is awful. No plugin or interpretation layer can fix this.

CSS is the language of design, yet for some reason every design tool completely ignores it.

Every top feature request on the Figma Forums is for HTML/CSS type features. We need a design tool built from the ground up on HTML/CSS rendering that has a Figma-like interface. Framer and Plasmic are sort of like this except made the mistake of wrapping everything in React code with tons of unnecessary abstractions that make the HTML/CSS output really messy.

I like the attitude relate.app (now Rainbow) has, but I don't see Figma being the final design tool, particularly when working with developers.
You don't need to be a staker to use Ethereum either. You can also stake with a few clicks on a website if you're using a web3 capable browser. You don't need to buy anything fancy or even open up a terminal if you don't want to.

If you're into UBI type stuff, yeah, there are multiple UBI projects on Ethereum https://www.proofofhumanity.id

There are a ton of other projects that allow people to share storage space, compute, art, information, etc to earn cryptocurrencies. People contribute what they can to the network, and are compensated for their efforts. Projects like gitcoin are raising millions of dollars for people who volunteer to provide public goods, from performing security audits on large open source projects, to cleaning plastic out of rivers (https://gitcoin.co/grants/). Seems to me like the Ethereum ecosystem is far more altruistic than many current governments.
I'm not sure why the massive downvotes. The above is fact.

They are substantially different aircraft, although similar in appearance at a quick glance.

HAVE BLUE is a much-smaller, differently-shaped demonstrator that was a predecessor to SENIOR TREND, which is what the F-117A actually came from (Wikipedia is inaccurate here).
That's only referring to current maturity... the differences are more nuanced. I'd recommend reading the article, it's not super long.
Rant: I hate everything about that website, it shows so much marketing yet all I want to see is what the device looks like and how it works
The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

We’re in a massive bubble but only a fool would try to predict exactly when it will pop.
Thanks, Matt! I've pushed the revised section measuring sendfile and metrics changes, so those should be accurate now.

Phew. Caches are purged, my errors are fixed. I can rest finally. If folks have questions about anything, I'm happy to answer.
Sounds like the thing to do now is sell everything vested so far, then hodl new vests. Falling prices means the vests will hit with lower income (and smaller tax bill) but are likely to go up when interest rates fall again.
No way - fire can spread at from 10-20mph.

Little-known way to save yourself, and all it takes is a match. Start a fire where you are, let it burn downwind. Follow it.

See, the fuel is burned there, and the approaching wildfire will have to go around your new dead spot!
why is this specific to renting? what about previous owners? and yes I do get stuff for people not here for more that 12 years now, and I toss it, and I dare them to do anything about that.
Article says they can hold onto your electronic devices tho. They can also probably arrest you for the legal maximum (which unlike proper jail probably won't result in you losing your living but could result in you losing money in addition to time).

They don't have to literally prevent you from entering your own country in order to make refusal to cooperate extremely unpleasant for you. Not to mention they can do this every time going forward and they can do this to other people in your group as well. Good luck proving this is harassment and not due dilligence.
Is this actually a problem, besides needing to replace a cheap fan? If the fans go out, they just maintain thermal limit. These aren't like old cards, where they would melt.
> would get a maintainer kicked and probably marked for life

For trying to cash out and retiring for maintenance they'd be excluded from ongoing development? This is precisely what I meant by not shaming people for selling off their product.

There are a lot of assholes out there that are far more worthy recipients of your ire - I'm sure this extension wasn't acquired for 1.2 billion.
Apology accepted! Please take care in threaded discussions who remarks appear to be directed to, also I tend to not make assumptions, rather to ask questions. You could have preambled "This remark isn't directed at you, but the thread audience in general seems to be unfamiliar with..." Use @name to reference people's comments by name.
I’m surprised Varnish is not mentioned much either. For a while there it had a reputation as the fastest reverse proxy. I think its popularity was harmed by complex config and refusal to handle TLS.
Of course there are. I said that in the last comment.

There are two points here:

* Estimates of "darknet" economies (and "criminal" economies in general) strongly express preferences for the mostly unfalsifiable LEO hypothesis that there's lots of crime just floating around out there, and they could do so much more about it if we just put up with a little more surveillance, etc.

* There's no particular evidence that there's a bimodal distribution between incompetent criminals who get caught and competent criminals who don't. There are probably lots of competent criminals who don't get caught, but there are also probably lots of incompetent ones who don't (and vice versa). The strongest predictor for successful interdiction (especially at borders) isn't competence, but sheer numbers: criminals have to succeed every time, cops only have to succeed once.
>If you are prepared for that then you absolute can and should tell them to pound sand. Just like you should to the police. But standing up for yourself has consequences you may not be prepared for. In both cases, CBP and police, you may be isolated from your loved ones, harassed, interrogated, etc in an attempt to make you crack.

I went through the border without a phone or anything of interest for them to search. They cuffed and shackled me, finger printed me, booked me, tossed me in a cell. Then held me for 16 hours while driving me to hospitals and told doctors there was drugs up my ass. Towards the end they got a warrant to cover their ass, where they woke a federal judge and and the US assistant attorney in the middle of the night and told them vicious lies that a dog had 'alerted' on my asshole and that during a (real) invasive strip search they found (fake) evidence of smuggling.

OTOH probably gonna be harder for startups and VCs to "pull one over" public investors and dumb management teams.
This specific attitude is something that I have capitalized on in many ways in my life to do well: ad tech, location data, trading. There is massive alpha in not being like this. And if this DNA synthesis thing had some value to me I would gladly do it and may the terrorists breed superbugs from it if they will. Even if you convince him, you won't convince me. I will become even more convinced that I should build the building blocks for extinction weapons. Every time you make this argument, I will move closer to doing it.

One day, I will do it just because I can and because you argued I shouldn't. Then your actions will be a proximate cause of the existence of the thing.

Ideally, I would not be so controllable but a deep part of me loves the transgressive nature of fighting a puritan.
To leave the flesh husk behind.
Long COVID is defined by its symptoms - it's the effect, not a cause. Damage from COVID (the acute phase) and mental state are two possible causes. They're claiming that COVID is directly causing damage that then leads to Long COVID, and that mental state doesn't play a role.
The handout went to the wealthy in the form of Payroll Protection Loans that never were required to be disbursed to employees or repaid. And Wall Street got a huge multi-trillion-dollar boost.

Ask HN: Why do so many people dislike MongoDB?
Just curious, what is it about MongoDB that many people seem to dislike? Is the developer experience lacking in any way? Do people just prefer schemas? Or is it more that people dislike NoSQL in general and MongoDB is the big name in the space?
Vets have crazy high margins, and thus salaries, so from an outsider perspective perhaps the market is ready for some more competition.
There is no way the kind of portable generator that most ordinary people would buy could energize a transformer that steps up to 14 kV. I suppose it might just be possible for the little pole mounted 50kVA ones that are common in many rural areas of the world but they generally don't step up to 14 kV. Most such transformers would look like a dead short to such piddling little generators
My wife reads a pretty consistent 200 books per year (not audio books). She's not a very fast reader. She's just very consistent, and reads anytime she has downtime, even in waiting rooms, etc.
Good stuff dude. Listens to users, sees a problem, doesn't take it personally, makes a fix. Caddy's going places.
Well said. Perhaps it was also because you and your friends had the humility to realize that it was you who didn't understand something a few days earlier. Helping others to learn and working with a group where learning is allowed and nurtured is incredibly important.

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. ... There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

Any idea on how much traffic could be from HN? I doubt more than 100 rps or any other noticeable load
In my last job, I built a data pipeline with Snakemake. Snakemake is a workflow manager where each command (often hundreds) is called from the shell. That was excruciating to do with Julia, and I can think of no alternative.
For others, in cases it’s unclear:

- MuZero uses MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search)

- TCEC (Top Chess Engine Championship) is a computer chess tournament organized and maintained by Chessdom.

___

My understanding is MuZero doesn't compete in TCEC, but might be wrong. Given Stockfish is open source and open source versions of MuZero exist, it would be easy enough to test the current version of Stockfish again; honestly surprised if it’s not already done, that it is not, given MuZero already beat it.
I like where you are going with this. Is there any way to set a different "conversion" event, instead of signup? Just move the tracking event to later in the funnel I guess? I think at a minimum, you should explain this usecase in your docs, as I expect many people don't pay for "sign ups" rather for "purchases".
> There are plenty of other places online for uninformed outrage bait.

There aren't though. People come to HN to complain about getting fucked over by YC companies because it's basically the only place people will get a response. I'm not saying all, or even most, complaints are valid. But your immediately siding with the YC company just shows your bias, which is expected since you're literally invested in the company.

Regardless of whether or not Stripe is legally in the right, their customer support is absolutely abysmal. And the problem is that this is clearly a trend with YC companies and the fact that people have to vent about it on HN so frequently, and with such fanfare, says a lot.
They are hard to configure and get right. If you overdo it, it can cause lot of issues with real users.

Seeing PEEK and POKE two pages into the article made me laugh. I always treated those like black magic, mysterious lines that I got out of a magazine that did cool stuff.

I loved the Simons Basic cartridge, that gave me a lot of the PEEK/POKE power wrapped up in new Basic keywords. Sprites were so cool!

Let alone, a lot of people seem to think that they get the lower capital gains tax on the RSUs... and most companies fail miserably to educate their employees.

Not to mention the horror that is the tax code in US, causing you to underpay taxes... because the company that does RSUs doesn't communicate well with your regular payroll company.

Haha, yep. Now for added challenge make it doubly linked to run into ownership issues (if you didn't already). I do like the language, but damn it forces you think carefully what you're doing.
"Nearly guaranteed" may be a stretch. There are decades in US history where you wouldn't really come out ahead (although I'm not sure any alternatives to stock would have done better) but internationally, there are many clear examples where the stock market hasn't been a good investment on a generational basis, like Japan now. The question is how much do you believe in American exceptionalism, are US markets really immune to this kind of failure forever, or have they just been on a really good run?
> Yeah, it seems there's an older entry in there that's confusing. Not sure.

I have just tried it on Chrome 103 on Android 12 and WebTransport worked. The information on caniuse.com is indeed incorrect.

> WebTransport does not really do anything that was previously impossible from an API standpoint, it improves on existing methods.

Yup, that's why I want to see it widely supported. Any simplification is good for the web. Though WebTransport unfortunately does not improve on every aspect of the existing APIs. It also has limitations that WebRTC does not have like P2P or easily piping media for using in MediaStreams.
I was going to say that it's a weird coincidence that CATL also announced a 620 mile range, then I realised it's a nice round 1000Km.

CATL is the supplier they use though, and they intend to deliver this 2 years before BMW.

All the low carbon and recycling stuff is great, but overall feels super weak and late to the game.
Oof, what happens if your laptop dies and it's the pair?
At least from what I remember of the issue I can't rule that out. I'm reasonably certain I had some sort of documentation saying the response was supposed to be utf8, but that doesn't mean a bug couldn't have (non-deterministically!?) returned it in a different encoding.

I believe it was a nearly entirely ascii CSV file, and I might not have checked any non-ascii characters to see how the pattern held.
The last 3 words were so unexpected...

Hey y'all, author here. Traffic/feedback/questions are coming in hot, as HN publicity tends to engender, but I'm happy to answer questions or discuss the findings generally here if you'd like (I'm looking through the comments, too, but I'm more likely to see it here).
WhatsApp isn't social media, it's a messaging app, but more critically it's based on phone numbers, so WhatsApp really has no control over access to your contacts.

> Unless you don't interact with anyone, that's a completely untenable position due to network effects

It doesn't have to be this way though. Between sms, email, telegram, signal, and discord I have communication channels to every person I actually care about, and it's trivial to bridge additional layers of communication if needed.

> it's pretty much impossible to get them over to another platform

I hear where you're coming from, but in my view this is an intentionally defeatist attitude. We're throwing up our hands and saying "social media owns us and there's nothing we can do, it's just too hard to install another app". In reality, if it's important, it's not that hard. There's no disputing that social media is convenient, but it isn't vital.
BS, especially since the 3-time IRS checks were just one small part of the stimulus. The enhanced unemployment lasted for months, and the increased amount alone was more than many people's regular paychecks.

I don't thing Parent was talking about business at all. Personal projects are not things you do because of potential business opportunities in my book. I wrote a GameBoy emulator, several raytracers, countless demos on 8bits machines, countless "IoT" things, an automatic cat feeder, a 3d scanner and much more, I never ever had the goal to transform that into money, that was for fun.

Of course you won't write anything that you hate at first, because it's for fun. But hating something for some days or weeks is part of the fun, too. You are challenging yourself, not doing it the easy way, to appreciate how well the others are doing.

If you want to turn it into a business, so yeah, don't write a graph visualization engine, or crypto stuff, or anything really. Get a job, that can be fun too, and let the entrepreneurs figure out the rest.
Correct. When you are poor, a one time check does nothing. Your issue is lack of cash flow.

You want to talk really uplifting those in poverty, we need to talk stipend.
Getting money earmarked to "study a free federal tax-filing website" doesn't seem like "moving closer to...free online" filing.

Intuit spends millions every year "lobbying" congress to make sure our tax system sucks and people feel the need to pay for their (arguably deceptive) product offering.

> Intuit has spent more than $41 million on lobbying since 1998 with nearly $3.3 million in 2021 and about $3.4 million in 2020, OpenSecrets’ analysis of lobbying data shows.

Wasn't this essentially what happened to Philando Castile? In his case he was even complying before he was shot, and the officer who shot him was acquitted.
> Simple example of X would be stating Ukraine was never going to be part of NATO

What makes you certain that this was going to prevent the invasion? Russia gave a number of pretexts for the invasion, some unrelated to NATO: De-nazification of Ukraine, protecting Russian-speakers within Ukraine, among many others.

> Russian being the bad guy doesn't make conflict inevitable.

Oh, so you prefer the Chamberlain-style "Peace in our time" appeasement. What next, cede Finland or Poland to Russia when Putin demands it?

The null hypothesis is that criminals are humans like us, except that they make money through crime instead of legal employment. Fallacious reasoning here would require us to treat criminals as uniquely invisible or otherwise unlike other humans, which isn't really borne out.

Well, the device I was whining about was a pi4 booting from a usb3 hdd (So yes, it will not be instantaneous! because its not an ssd), not an i20 ssd 100 cores device. And I'm not outraged, I looked at it, saw it was a hog and moved on (because again, I care about that stuff). Though, I am slightly outraged at you putting words in my mouth and making a caricature of my self, you don't know me, I don't have an "exceedingly narrow & particular view of progress", I simply know that a device has limited resources, software uses those resources. Allowing software to get less performant, means the system will get less snappy, and that I do hate (mostly because it automatically alerts me of viruses(still have that paranoia) or a runaway process hogging the CPU).
The information there is indeed incorrect. I have updated my comment accordingly.
Miners overclock and overvolt the memory because there's a substantial performance advantage to doing so with little efficiency loss. This rapidly ages the memory.

Also, 70c is well into the temperature range that will significantly age capacitors.

I write about community from lived experiences and reference my lived community experiences, it's the most authentic way to do it.

I'd actually prefer people don't join that community. It's a very special little place on the internet for me. And people that know me know understand it's got nothing to do with money, that it's a fun experiment and the money is just a way to attract the right kind of people and make the community a joy to run.
I'm working on parallel multithreaded systems. I wrote a M:N kernel-thread to lightweight thread userspace scheduler which multiplexes multiple lightweight threads onto kernel threads. I also wrote part of my own libuv.

I also wrote a multithreaded actor implementation in Java. I am currently working on solving the expression problem and thinking of how entity component systems (ECS) can be used for parallelism and solving the problem of deciding how to map data to operations efficiently.

I am also thinking of how to patch running systems without downtime.

Sounds kinda like tuplespaces/Linda (which I think are very good, largely unpursued ideas).
That issue has some good explanation, thanks. I wonder if a disk-writing process could be spun out before dropping privileges?

> Disks accesses can be unpredictably slow and would block the entire thread which is not something you want when handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second.

This is not something I see mentioned in the issue, but I don't see why disk accesses need to block requests, or why they have to occur in the same thread as requests?
