No idea why your comment is downvoted. By buying Volvo products you are supporting a hostile power, China. A country that does not even allow our companies to operate in China without nonsense restrictions like joint ventures with local companies that strip our companies out of IP and know how.

Due to the recent events in Ukraine and Russia things like this should be really talked about.
When reading through the comments here, I really feel like the article was misunderstood. My summary of the article is:

Point 1: React solved all the right things, but its current trajectory, does not prioritize developing the fundamental tooling we need. React does not allow us to build a new Figma (consistent undo/redo in collaborative settings, immediate low-latency mutation of app state to reflect user changes and building fundamentals to SaaS interoperability)

Point 2: People are overwhelmed by the work, and too timid to target the fundamental architecture we need to solve these things. We're just going with the flow.

He is leading https://usegpu.live/ to build the fundamentals right, an encourage people to either:

- help out there, if it fits your use case, or

- start working on targeting these fundamentals, where most needed for your own use cases, don't just go with the flow.
"everything" by voidtools could be to your liking.
"Brought" is the past tense tense of "bring", not "buy". I think you're missing the 'r' when you read that.
No, the problem is the engineers, not Thiel. European countries also have billionaires. But the billionaires don’t pay for the social housing, etc. Sweden doesn’t have a wealth tax, it has low corporate taxes, and low capital gains taxes too. Sweden has all the robust welfare system because the top tax rate starts at around $75,000/year.

The only reason California doesn’t look like Sweden is because your average California liberal is a hypocrite and won’t put their money where their mouth is.
Actually there are some ex-Qt developers doing just that.

My problem with Windows and basically all modern UIs on all operating systems is that we are in the dark age of UI. Everything is gamified, unnecessarily complex, slow...Windows is especially bad, with a lot of old and new UI mixed in with some kind of crazy indecision, incompetence, etc.
Other than already mentioned backups I see no mention of:

* staging environment for development

* at least another baremetal machine for a copy of production and a loadbalancer in front of them, to prevent from 100% downtime in case your machine is down

“The most common anti-vehicle mine is the TM 62 M,” he says. “It's got a metal casing, so it's very easily found with a metal detector. Anti-personnel mines are a lot smaller, but most of the Russian mines, even if they have plastic casings, still contain significant metal.”
None of these count as a language with complex types in my opinion. C++ has templates but that's not to be confused with its typesystem.

I'm not saying typescripts typesystem is perfect and I'm definitely not saying that most people use it correctly. But at least it has great potential, compared to e.g. Java and C# which still fail to let me describe basic data types and operations in the typesystem.
I wanted to thank you for this interaction because I've learned quite a bit about the boundary layer on copyright. I think I see what you're saying in this topic.

It looks like the copyright office is perfectly willing to grant copyright on work that uses an AI generator for even a substantial portion of it (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/09/artis...) but not the whole thing. I suspect there will be a series of cases in the not too distant future to make the boundary line clearer.
Also not actually that easy to be hired in another EU country without moving. If you work from another country, the employer will have to create or contract with an entity in your country that hires and pays you. It is a real pain; it is a major reason why I keep a running company that my tax entity sees as a real company (it does investments, hires people, has multiple clients etc) so I cannot be seen as a de facto employee; it is much easier for me and employers to pay me via that. No headaches.

> The process of training is more-or-less just "building a search index", and prediction is little more than "looking up examples in the search index and combining".

It's really not.

You are compressing the information in that dataset. That means the model has to learn characteristics of the information in the data that represent it. This is one of the reasons why some argue that compression is a form of intelligence[1]

It's a very different mechanism to a search index or database even if in some case it appears to work similarly.

That is what I like about HN! You post a one-line-of-code solution for something and someone comes up with a way to get rid of even that one line!

There's no mention of the Rust language on the site or their careers page, at least with queries like `rust site:www.polestar.com/us/` or `rust site:about.polestar.com/careers/jobs/`.
I wonder if rust has not the shortcomings of C: integer promotion, implicit casts (no split between compile-time casts/runtime casts), 1 bazillion of loop keywords, switch, enum, _generic, typeof, no explicit number of bits for primitive types, etc.

I am still not motivated to read the latest rust specs (I did that a long time ago and stoped because I got serious nonos, like implicit heavy free memory, or strings hardcoded in the syntax).

I've been using Windows on a development machine that has seen the last 5 releases of VS installed and then upgraded every time. It was a Windows 10, migrated in place from Windows 8 computer, with a mechanical 5400rpm drive and 16GB RAM.

I complained as much as I could to my manager about its boot times (10 minutes to even have an operational OS), but once it booted, it was ok. I could work all week just by hibernating it and shutting it down only when leaving on Friday.

It ran SSMS along VS and other software like Meld, Teams, Outlook, two browsers, and Sublime text.

It was fine.

I have been using MS OSes since DOS4, and while Linux is my daily driver at home, I think modern Windows is ok. It can be operated instantly by anyone with low computer knowledge. It is kind of reliable.

Posts like this just follow a stupid sentiment. All of it reads like "OMG, Windows is so bad, amirite" and boiling it down it ends up just being virtue signaling to show the world the author uses Linux.
I am grateful for every single one of your comments, every thought you have spent on this, is appreciated. I will have to take some time to go through all of them. Many things i have read, already describe my daily practice. Some, i have tried already and didn‘t find as helpful and some tips seem really seem to be promising. I will go through all of them in slow pace, might comment or just use it to reflect and write down my thoughts to myself.

So, please don‘t think your effort was worthless in case it takes a long time for me to respond. It was really helpful, even if in some cases i feel that i am already further along in my journey. It might just be my arrogance or ignorance. I will use it to reflect and question myself.

So: thank you. All of you might have just saved a life. Not that i was suicidal, but still…

Thank you.
Yea before I switched to PopOS due to the Windows 11 online account/edge browser fiasco I used the launcher "Executor[0]". Exectuor is by far the most powerful launcher I have ever used, to bad there isn't a launcher in Linux that has all of the features.

It's not if it's properly structured. That usually means employee having some kind of legal entity (consulting firm) and having proper B2B contract.
The problem I see with public ownership is the risk that the government will sell it and that one will thus be exposed to someone reaping monopoly rents, and this creates my preference for co-ownership.

However, I think Soviet problems are in part due to a near-total absence of market mechanisms and of game-theoretic thinking-- i.e. 'what is this state enterprise actually incentivized to do', so I don't think it's applicable to these kinds of things unless they get ossified.
mcdonald's plant-based burger is tasteless. size is very small.

on the other hand, burger king's rebel whooper is very good. problem I experienced was that staff takes too much time to make it.

I have no developed taste for "real" burgers and I still wouldn't eat plant-based ones regularly. at least the pricing is normal, compared to burgers in vegan restaurants that cost 3-5 times more.

is meat consumption in fast-food chain the majority of meat consumption? if not, why the need to discuss the global meat consumption in the context of fast-food chains.
It doesn’t look like it was the first thing he did. Article says he’s been studying the plant since the 80s
It would only ignite where you already want a flame so who cares?
I'm not bullish on plant-based meat taking over the market from real meat; I don't think that's going to happen. But I can see plant-based meat substitutes taking a place as a now-and-then substitute. The Boca Burger is a good example, because it's not meat, it doesn't really pretend to be meat, but it's good food in its own right, and it can serve the same function as meat in a meal despite fooling absolutely nobody. I serve them to my kids and eat them myself when we're in the mood for something that fills the gap of meat but want a lower-calorie choice.
Careful, I didn't call Kwarteng an idiot. I'm sure the top .1% of the Brexit club are very smart, well educated and highly credentialed. They're also liars and fraudsters.

What I said about the government is that they had no new ideas and no long term thinking. I think that holds true. For all his qualifications, the best the chancellor can manage is minor changes to a few tax rates in the face of an economic emergency. Most of his tax changes just reverse the changes made last year. So his ideas are just back to 2020. Hardly new stuff.

Is any of that an unfair or inaccurate characterisation of the current government or brexiteers?

As for debate with brexiteers, that isn't really possible. You cannot debate someone who won't accept the facts and who lies about (or doesn't know) their reasons for their position. Only 1 brexiteer in the 100s I've met has managed that and he was just a racist (though he was at least honest enough to say so).

At this point "debate" is pointless, the facts are in, one side refuses to accept them and we are where we are. The social and psychological causes might be worth discussing, but you don't need brexiteers for that, anymore than you need to talk to a cancer to understand cancer...
VC got their IPO, thats all that ever mattered.

it was kind of funny to see the PR campaigns ramp up - placement in news articles, podcast interviews with the founder, partnerships with fast food chains.

after the smoke cleared there was never any real demand, just hype. a bunch of people made money, rinse repeat.

Unfortunately not many seem to remember that brief period when the old add-on APIs were being ported and made to work with a multi-process architecture, as part of the effort known as Electrolysis [1], with appreciable results, before being completely killed in favor of WebExtensions. I'm sure there were significant technical challenges, but let's not use these to hide the political reasons behind such a drastic move.

I was impressed by the impossible whopper. It was 70% as good as the meat version. If it was half the price, I might order it again. Instead, it’s a premium. Unless you have ethical or religious reasons, why would you pay more for an inferior product? My first purchase was for novelty reasons, but I haven’t been able to justify a second.

Shouldn't algae growing be carbon negative?
They aren't quite at the top-end price of traditional scopes. Hensoldt makes scopes that go for almost $8k.

They aren't aiming for a 4-6 inch target though (I seriously doubt you could even see that with 35x at 4.5 miles). They are aiming for the center of a target 7.5 feet by 10 feet.

The difference between that 8k scope and this 4k scope is mostly a tiny bit of clarity and last 2-3% of fit and finish. Neither of these would affect scope accuracy and the clarity wouldn't exist at that range anyway due to particles in the air. No purpose in special ordering one and blowing 4k that could be spent elsewhere on something that won't impact the actual shot.
Article mentions that there are 600 known plants in existence, and that 300 of those have been propogated in botanical gardens.
The exact same thing was happening to a Volvo I've driven around 5 years ago (I have never chosen Volvo again since then because of it). I don't think they're going to help now.
I suppose refueling will become an important game mechanic in the future because of the nostalgia
Not to say you were wrong since in making that choice but with climate change days of extreme temperatures in both directions will become ever more common so so you may have considered it an investment into the future. Of course you may have other problems by then (a reliable source of food for example)
I would bet that latexr knows what a metaphor is. They are simply pointing out that the usage of that specific metaphor makes no sense.

And the incorrect usage of the metaphor may give people, such as superkuh, an incorrect model of the world where frogs do not jump out of water that is gradually made
more and more uncomfortable.

I like when others make my model of the world more accurate by notifying me of errors.
Huh, tried the impossible burger and a normal one side by side, and I preferred the impossible burger. I still think it's the best thing on their menu.

So I think the problem is not the taste, it's simply that people who eat healthy or vegan don't go to burger king in the first place.
> I have some dream of a sort of user-interface system that exposes controls and data more directly to the user, independent of the author's stylistic choices.

It will never happen.

Companies want to "brand" their UI to use it as a marketing tool. Usability and integration be damned.
The ISO 3166 code is GB (the uk. TLD being a grandfathered exception), they might have sorted by that. There would be more cases of “wrong” order in the list, though most of them would be more subtle than that.
To be fair, mcdonald's beef burgers are pretty weak tasting too
Reading about the unsustainability of the plant based fake meats was all it required for every single person I know who cares about such things to never even try them.
And that is why traditional web forums and their discoverability are great. This wouldn’t work on Reddit or Discord.
You're not wrong, but I would not compare UK and Irish corporation tax rates. In the UK, any company that is publicly traded, multinational or larger than a few million in revenue a year pays a different set of taxes at a much lower rate. What we call "corporation tax" is really more like "small company and self employed people using limited liability" tax. It's only called corporation tax for historic reasons.

Just fyi. Most people don't realise this, including most Brits. It's something if an in joke for accountants and people who own LTDs.
I noticed that plant based burgers are less filling, i think because they contain less protein - 19g vs 26g according to Google. I don't mind the taste though
UI customization is fortunately still alive in the wake of XUL extensions.

A /r/firefoxcss mod has a wonderful collection of code snippets that they maintain, which you can browse here: https://mrotherguy.github.io/firefox-csshacks/ and they created a userChrome.js loader here: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/fx-autoconfig

My favorite customization repository is https://github.com/aminomancer/uc.css.js - which really tests the limits of what is and isn't possible with userChrome.css and .js. My favorite feature is the implementation vertical tabs, without the use of extensions.

Some legacy extensions are maintained and can be found here: https://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts/tree/master... (although you will need to use xiaoxiaoflood's userChrome.js loader AFAIK).

Honorable mention goes to the Firefox CSS Store, which can be found here: https://trickypr.github.io/FirefoxCSS-Store.github.io/

Moving to WebExtensions was the logical choice for Firefox, technical/security reasons aside, as they are not alienating extension developers that target Chromium-based browsers.

Yes, they alienated their own extension developers. Yes, they could've handled the transition better, and worked harder towards supporting some of the many APIs/functionalities that extension developers needed (or still need) for their extensions to work in the WebExtensions ecosystem. I myself was quite mad for a very long time at how they handled the switch, but I think overall it's been a success - my own personal feelings aside.
Do you have another path that you prefer more -- maybe degrowth?
Since we had grasped the implications of this graph[0] a few months back, the wife and I finally managed to actually make the jump to drastically reduce our meat consumption, and also mostly replaced dairy products with soy- and oats-based alternatives. I've even had the McDonald's "McPlant" three or so times since then, and must say that it tastes about the same as I recall other burgers' taste with similar toppings. Turns out I'm totally fine with "fake" meat, and I would encourage everyone to give it a shot.

I'm the sole developer of HashBackup. An important part of planning a solo venture is choosing something that is doable by a single person, and if it fails for a short period of time, say a day or two, the failure will not impact customers too much.

For example, the HashBackup website is for just for documentation, and if it fails, having documentation offline is not a huge deal. If it had user signups, accounts, and all that, it still would not be a big deal to be down as long as the installed software continued to work, at least for a few days. And backup software is not "mission critical" to the same extent that hosting a company's tech support website would be, for example. All of these have been very conscious choices.

Two problems with plant based meat: It costs 2-3x more than the real thing at the grocery store and it is higher in carbohydrate. The carbs are a problem to insulin resistant type 2 diabetics and people in a keto diet.
Or you know, sometimes the tooling just simply is inflexible and can't figure out what is it the code is trying to do. There's a reason why parsin code is a NP-complete problem.
Just the people that need to, usually the security or operations team that handles creating or deleting accounts, or setting up billing stuff, or creating the initial roles or users that will be needed. All the other responses just say, “don’t use the root account”. That’s true, but there are some things that need the root account, and in a midsized company that shouldn’t be controlled by one person, but usually a small team. I don’t use the root account for anything outside of what it’s explicitly needed for, but I do need access to it for those times, and the rest of my team need that access too. And we have audit trails that let us know whenever someone uses the root account. Tada.
