One theory could be that they had to do that initially to capture a state and have a power majority when redistricting comes up. Once its gerrymandered sufficiently, there is no way that they'd ever let it be uncaptured. You can let everyone vote but their vote is useless, if you've slivered the population into chunks that stymie voting power of blue votes against a swath of red voters. Ohio is already like this in many ways, blue cities held hostage by a state captured by the GOP. You have, e.g. the 9th district that takes a sliver of Cleveland and extends over 100 miles down a strip of rural coastline (1). This is the district that Dennis Kucinich (D) used to handily win until maps were remade by republicans and it extended out from Cleveland like the tentacle of a giant squid.

Dumb question time:

I am assuming that browsers come with a pre-installed wasm engine, and that this can't easily be replaced with a 3rd party one.

I therefore assume that this product does not run in a browser, but rather standalone, and therefore probably on the server ...

That brings up the following, likely dumb question: what is the use case?
This is the only major issue holding me back from upgrading. When you run 3-5 visual studios, couple of RDP connections, etc, having those windows in the taskbar is a big productivity booster.

I do a lot of systems-type work academia (OSes, CPU sims, transient execution attacks, etc).

"Should not apply" is a very strong phrase. Would you be willing to humble yourself in a junior position so that you could learn? Are you willing to put in the time and effort to learn the ins and outs of the platform? If so, I think you'd be a great fit as a junior systems engineer at a 50-500 person org that has the self-awareness to put you on a team with more experienced engineers who can show you the ropes. If anything, you're a great candidate because you'll already have some programming experience under your belt which minimizes the barrier for learning syntax and language-agnostic programming concepts, allowing you focus more on actually learning how everything works under the hood.

I work professionally on computer vision software, and quite frankly one of the biggest barriers we have now is that the people who are deploying our ML code have the experience with all the experimental tooling (PyTorch/Python) but not as much with what's going on under the hood, and thus we're leaving lots of performance on the table.

My personal definition of "systems knowledge" is "can you answer 'how does this work under the hood?'" to the point where we're talking about assembly/bytecode and drivers. It's more tedious than learning the Java standard library, but I wouldn't necessarily say it requires more intellectual power. It just takes time.

This whole house https://www.newhomesource.com/plan/plan-1-tri-pointe-homes-f... is only $50k more, and that includes the land I suppose.

This price seems out of whack unless they're abusing some loophole (technically it's a trailer so it's DMV) but most of those are pretty tightly closed.
God, even as an open source maintainer, all of these insights SCREAM incredibly relevant.

In fact, what is worse is that you don't realize your focus is totally wrong because you're not losing revenue. You might be losing eyeballs or growth and adoption, but that's easier to gloss over considering it's a factor of advertising.

I constantly ask myself when looking at some of the de facto solutions in open source spaces what the hell the maintainers are doing, because what they are focused on is completely irrelevant.

The same could be said about large companies who have so much revenue that can continue to make mistakes until someone challenges them.
Yeah, it seems this house is similar dimensions to a single wide trailer. Just different construction and fancier interior.

It seems like most urban/suburban CA zoning would prohibit either model - a trailer, or placing this in a backyard. It seems trailers are common in rural areas and small towns because the zoning allows for that option.

> If you were to actually buy the land to fit this tiny home, you'll likely end up with a bill north of $700k-1M+ depending on your location.

The house is ridiculously priced, but you're way off about land.

Let's be honest, this doesn't need much land. But you can still easily buy land for $2,000/acre and less. I paid 60k for 40 acres, and that's if I value the EIGHT buildings at $0 (about 6 years ago).

That, and quality of the app is not really a decision that drives selection of a bank. I've been told by a certain EU bank marketer that "if we get them before 18, they're ours until death". Which is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's telling about just how sticky the customers for banks are. Switching out accounts and losing those preferred mortgage deals is a big deal.

I was stuck in between 5 groups all arguing over a data interchange format. Several groups insisted that the system should categorically not be allowed to support some of the business cases of the people they either got information from or gave it to. I still don't understand how they thought having the whole project fail was going to get them whatever status they were looking for.

I got real fond of saying, "compromise means everybody is equally unhappy with the solution" and giving them solutions that worked but often took each of them a couple extra lines of code. Helping them figure out what those lines were smoothed some feathers, but I don't think any of those people were comfortable unless at least a couple feathers were out of place. It's weird when people 10 years older than you are acting like babies. It's not like 'mature' is the first adjective people would use to describe me at that time. When you don't want to be the adult in the room, it's all the more annoying when you have to be.
Because HR (and IT strategy) nowadays is a farce, managers, decision-makers and the actual organizational units that do hiring rarely have the necessary systemic big-picture knowledge/information, foresight, experience, longitudinal thinking that would allow them to venture out of their preset suboptimal ways.
Easier access leads to higher turnout, which tends to help team blue, which is why team red works so hard to make it harder to vote. However, you're absolutely right that in many places, districts are so gerrymandered that turnout doesn't really make a difference.

In some places, state governments are preparing to ignore the results of popular votes entirely, but that only applies to the presidential election.
Frameworks enable ecosystems. Ecosystems enable reusable components.

The more you deviate from one of the set of common conventions, often enforced by frameworks, the more you have to build on your own.

The larger your project gets, and the more developers who need to understand your code, and the more developers you need to hire and get onboarded quickly, the more that those extra rules start to make sense.

And once you've learned and internalized the patterns necessary to build larger systems, it becomes force of habit to just use it wherever, even if it's nominally easier without them. For most developers, a go-to pattern will be faster than working from first principles on every project.

I think it's perfectly fine for different games to have different cultures...for people of game A to want more calculation, and game B more towards psychology. Suggesting it doesn't reflect well on chess' culture suggests that wanting psychology is _more_ right. It's not. It's just _different_.

Now whether chess really IS more about calculation these days is a difficult question to answer. It might just be that it values a different kind of calculation or skill than the past. Given the deep preparation necessary for someone to be a chess professional, I'm biased towards (micro-edit: believing that...) more calculation _is_ necessary for high level performance, and psychology is more gimmicky.

The difference is that poker isn't a game of complete information, chess is. This means that, technically, there is a _right_ answer in chess. With the ambiguity of poker, and other games, that leaves room for psychology to be more natural.

I'm honestly baffled by Microsoft's inconsistent way of both supporting and hindering people from installing Windows rather than just having to buy a machine with it pre-installed and then just update from that forever. They really seem to have some sort of internal disagreement over this; I can google to find a Windows ISO that they provide, but they won't give me the checksum (because I guess they want me to have to risk downloading a malicious version instead?). Then to install it, I might have to jump through some hoops in boot settings like Secure Boot and the like due to their pressure on the manufacturers, and I might not even be able to (like when I tried to buy an ARM laptop a few years ago only to find out that it essentially did not support booting of a flash drive at all), but once I get it installed, I can use it indefinitely without a license, and the only thing they disable is customizing my desktop background and window theme? Of course there's a permanent watermark in the corner to remind me (and anyone else who I share my screen with) that my Windows is unlicensed, but they'll make it dull enough that if I have anything other than a solid dark color behind it (i.e. not a game), it's basically invisible. It almost seems like they couldn't come to any agreement about how to transition from CD-based installs now that most laptops don't have CD drives, so their various teams just kind of do their own thing with no consistent policy coming from those in charge.
> He’s the one who started pushing the stolen election idea before votes even started.

Omitted from your statement is that he first did this in 2016. He was prepping a "the election was stolen from me" claim at that time when it looked like he might lose, but when he ended up winning, he still claimed voter fraud had occurred. He said he would have won by more if NH hadn't been stolen by illegal immigrants who were sent via bus to cast fraudulent votes. He started a commission to find evidence of that, and it dissolved after it couldn't make any progress (because no such fraud existed). This was a footnote in 2017 many people have forgotten, but it presaged 2020.

Is this what VCs want when they ask what you have learned from your users? It sounds like most of the learnings are about what his users do wrong, and why. There's surprisingly little in the way of "our users told us X and we realized we need to do Y".

I assumed that when people ask what you've learned from your users, they're not asking you to list how lousy your users are at doing various things, and why they just need to listen to you more.

That page hasn't aged all that well. The prediction that applications would need to switch to a new hash function "every few years" hasn't panned out. The feared improved attacks on SHA-2 have failed to materialize. Applications that chose SHA-2 20 years ago are still quite secure today.

It seems we just weren't very good at designing hash functions in the 90s.

GPU mining is poised to be permanently done. There is no "lesson" to teach miners, because there is no expected repeat of such a run on GPU mining again.

Ask HN: How can I contribute to decarbonization professionally?
I'm what many people call a 'creative coder' - I run a small company[1] that builds digital artworks, installations, and experiences. Most of my work revolves around interaction design, experience design, and systems design in LED, sensing, projection, etc. The work I do lives in hospitality, offices, and event contexts for the most part.

I have had for years a nagging feeling that I should be doing more to pitch in in the fight against climate change, beyond my thoroughgoing and continuous efforts to reduce my own carbon footprint and advocate that others do the same.

I'm looking for ways, up to and including a change of career, that I can contribute to decarbonization professionally. I've considered just taking on a job that pays as much as possible so I can contribute to- and invest in- green-economy projects, but ideally I'd love to contribute the working hours of my day and my efforts as well.

Many of the ideas I come up with require experience in finance, policy, and/or marketing, none of which I bring to the table. I'm not in a financial position to take a plunge and go the route of independent journalism or advocacy full-time.

I'm totally fine with the idea of starting my own thing (I've been self-employed my whole life), so many of my least-bad ideas center around ideas like assisting homeowners to make green choices or building private EV charging infrastructure with some kind of hospitality or entertainment dimension attached.

I'd really love to be attached to something significant, though, like utility-scale solar or pumped hydro energy storage - I just don't know what I'd bring to the table on an operation like that.

If you're working in these fields and you lack these skills as well, what are you doing?

The amount of automated and apparently-manual attempted credit card fraud (and exploit attempts, for that matter) any halfway-prominent site with a CC form is subjected to is hard to appreciate if you've never seen it. It's a whole lot. They aren't even necessarily trying to buy what you have, but to validate that their stolen cards work. And they're quite busy. If too much of that gets through—really, any more than a very tiny amount of it gets through—you're gonna have an extremely bad time.

Various CC service providers like Stripe do provide tools to try to block those attempts, but defense in depth is usually a very good idea, including fairly aggressive firewall-level blocking.

Ask HN: MRI Review and Diagnosis as a Service?
There's a lot of physicians out there where you can send them your diagnostic studies (MRIs, CTs, etc.) and they will attempt to make a diagnostic of your medical issues and possibly consult with you further on treatment.

Just search "mri review free" on Google for examples.

Of course sending your MRI to 10 different doctors takes a lot of time, like needing 10 different CDs of all your MRIs (medical industry standard still seems to be using CDs instead of USB drives for diagnostic imagery, at least in the U.S.).

What if there was a secure service where you could send your MRIs to, and on your behalf they would make copies of your MRIs and send them to dozens of different doctors for MRI review and 2nd/3rd/4th opinions? You would then receive communication from dozens of different doctors and many 2nd/3rd/4th/etc. opinions. Then based on the diagnosis and interaction with the doctor you can decide who to use. After all, not all doctors are equal and some are definitely better and more qualified than others, especially when it comes to surgeries.

I deal with a lot of chronic pain, and I've spent months trying to get diagnosed and treated and this idea popped into my head because of the frustration of trying to get diagnosed and treated for chronic pain. The normal route of GP -> Referral to specialist isn't working out for me, mostly because the specialists I end up with all seem to be shit (the problem of living in a small town).

> I recently had to fix a few bugs because some devs forgot, or simply didn't know, that lifecycles still exist.

And then it just stays fixed. You don't have to split up the logic across different lifecycle methods and remember to keep them in sync. They're consolidated into functions that can be trivially pulled out into their own hooks and reused.

React is definitely a more low-level framework that requires you to have some familiarity with how the scheduler works, and could benefit from a couple more built-in hooks. But the benefits are undeniable, they make writing and refactoring complex applications an absolute breeze. The fact that you can factor out some state-related behavior into a hook and trivially reuse it is incredible.

For example, take state. With hooks, you use useState. A very common pattern is to need to persist it in the URL to enable deep linking. You can literally just replace your useState call with useQueryParam from the use-query-params library [1] and have your component function identically. You just can't do that with class-based components.
