Was made a team lead recent and it's... interesting.

I always saw myself as an individual contributor, and rebel against the path that leads to what's effectively project management with zero daily coding. But being the lead of a smallish team, making sure everyone's working towards goals and helping more junior devs when they get stuck, is a surprisingly interesting challenge.
The website usually includes the address of the content to display or script to run. My post meant that I don't think we should take it as a given that our browser must fetch and run all of those resources automatically or else violate some protocol.

And if a user wants to have a policy of selectively choosing what content they want, but that content is hard to define or whitelist, then using a blacklist mechanism doesn't mean that the policy is to block. It's just the most common, practical method of choosing the content you want.
All the braintree developments over the past years are to support enormous enterprise customers.

If you’re a SMB paypal doesnt care about your business in the braintree product line, cc processing is too small margin business for them to have even a single person updating documentation. Or phone support, or any kind of support really.

Remember they used to have better phone support than like any other company?
Developing with Svelte and SvelteKit feels like I am closer to standard Web APIs. Meaning I can learn lots of evergreen stuff that will not get outdated any time soon.
Perhaps the wandering happens for these people not on their walks but in their internet / phone browsing? I doubt it really disappeared and it didn’t just change its shape
I absolutely love Beyond and Impossible alternatives, they are making it viable to not eat meat while getting an experience in the similar ballpark.

My only issue is actually not enough places offer them, or at least not in a variety of dishes. I don’t want to eat burgers multiple times a week, regardless of if they are beef or not.
Or we could just produce less crap to be wasted, and have healthier work-life balances to boot. It takes an especially foolish kind of monetary environment to manufacture perfectly good e-scooters just to dump them into rivers and onto sidewalks, hoping that enough people tripping over them will create a recurring revenue stream from the coins falling out of their pocket. Plus that whole disenfranchisement of individuals further into renters rather than distributed capital owners.
Can't help it but think this is written from a position of a someone who doesn't have a long to do list and chooses the passage of emotions and frankly boredom as entertainment. Nothing wrong with that, however with the times being gloomy and oppressive as they are I would think this type of activity will be chosen less and less.
I did something very similar, but used a butterfly valve rather than a sprinkler release. It meant needing to stand next to it and manually release, but it was a lot cheaper.

I also used 3/4" piping, which worked really well for lots of smaller projectiles, and meant that a female threaded adapter and some epoxy let me use 20oz or 2 liter bottles as tanks. I only got them to 80 psi, but I suspect they would have held just fine at 100.

Soft projectiles would disintegrate in the air (no paintballing) but hard things- gobstoppers, batteries, frozen grapes- could cause a lot of fun destruction.

Yeah, that's probably it.
Fine craftsmen are very picky about their tools. Companies that rely mostly on hiring "natural ignorance" will have representative software stacks.
Probably very little. I once heard a speaker give the carbon emission numbers for China, India, and South America, compared the United States. America moving to 100% renewable energy is not going to even make a dent. Not that we shouldn't try, but until we get these other countries onboard - it's just altruism.

My last girlfriend was a great example of that. It was both confusing and infuriating because there was no way to know when she was being genuine about anything
It most probably is. But OP’s point was that if engineers paid more taxes, all problems would be solved. And it’s not true - migrants also pay high taxes in Sweden.

My point here is that there isn’t a single solution for very complex systemic issues. Pinning the blame on middle classes is wrong and unproductive.
While tech is certainly one factor influencing the difficulty wandering aimlessly the article hints at another that to me is really the underlying factor which is the commoditization and “ownership” of land areas.

I was reading a collection of articles written by Scottish-American mountaineer/naturalist John Muir in the 1870s. He was writing about wandering around various parts of California.

The thing that struck me is that he would describe picking a path towards a peak and just following it from the base of a mountain. That would be difficult these days because there is so much private land and fencing that you never know if you’re illegally trespassing or if a path goes through. In a city of course the land is nearly all private so you have to follow whatever paths have been laid out between public spaces.

I still enjoy walking around to the extent it’s possible but I do wonder what it would be like to be truly free to roam the countryside without fear of the law.

You go first.
> while others have criticized what they see as a flippant use of potentially harmful technology: showing how easy it is to access livestream footage and facial-recognition software. Many of these critics encouraged the artist never to make the A.I. he developed public.

Security through obscurity? If this artist can create this AI on his own, then many programmers can create it, even if the artist doesn’t make his code public. I feel like many non programmers don’t understand how easy some of this stuff is to replicate once they’ve seen some else build something.
Ah! thanks, and tough to disagree.
Ages ago MS's C preprocessor would ignore directives on the last line if it didn't end in a newline. I'm sure that's fixed by now, but who knows how many tools still suffer from it.

It shouldn't have to end in a newline, but I still end them all with a newline.
People (I assume Ford managers included) underestimate the essential complexity of the systems required to do something as simple as process touches and display a low-latency response to them. Apple makes it look easy.
A useful read for sure.

However, I wonder about the choice of React (or any SPA framework) if you say you are not designing for scalability. You said that the product is quite basic/boring and I have yet to see how this wouldn't be much easier to produce in any MVC server-side framework than any frontend framework.

If you are used to .Net, you could choose dotnet core MVC (was that around then?), which is super fast and easy to deploy on Docker but also Ruby, PHP etc to suit your taste/experience. The SPA approach means a frontend and a backend developed separately and unless you have FB scale issues and want to move as much work to the browser as possible, the only time I would choose SPA would be if I was most familiar with React/Angular/Vue/Javascript.
When he was 30, Biden was running for office in Delaware and had already been involved in politics for a few years. He just met her at a campaign event, probably. People underestimate politicians ability to remember people.
Volvo used to have a lot more control over their firmware than any other auto manufacturer that I knew of. Firmware images were counted as spare parts, and were charged for and managed by the official dealer service network.

They had a central database that kept track of the revision state of every car, including what firmware revision was installed in each ECU. Volvo owners tended to keep using official service centres longer than those of other brands, so this database was usually correct.
For some, yes, it's a mutually-beneficial thing.

For others, it feels rude not to follow someone back.

I don't know, somehow even though I cannot resist using my smartphone in the boredom of my house once I go outside I completely drop the need to look at it. I might wait on a bus bench for half an hour and only occasionally take it out to check the time. I simply can't relate to this post, the phone is irrelevant to me in those situations
Didn’t know I needed a write up like this, but I did. I’m hitting 40 in February and naturally it’s causing me to… feel things. Lingering in the back of my mind since I started my career was a worry that someday I’d become too old for it.

It still hasn’t felt like that as I’ve aged but nevertheless the worry still lingers. It’s nice to see I’m not alone in these worries and maybe I’m worried for nothing.
Temptation is the issue here. In the biblical sense. A demon telling me an attractive story. A story that draws me in and keeps me dreaming. And before I know it I'm dreaming all the time.

The storytelling demon is the phone. Always reminding me of the story. Periodically tapping me on the shoulder. "Hey hey look at this! This is important!"
This is why I finally ordered an Apple Watch with cellular, so that I can leave my iphone at home when going for a walk or hike, but still be reachable.
Today I cycled to a nice coffee shop nearby and wrote a couple of chapters of my book there. I also took my cat for a walk earlier. Aside from what, watching some shows, reading, more writing, and laundry. I'm trying to convince myself to go to a book club meetup tomorrow, but I'm kind of on the fence right now.
May I ask if that was ever discussed or resolved? How did that end up working out?
Gottachalk is a hoot to play also.

One of the best concerts I went to involved an impenetrable and lengthy Avant Garde work by which time it was over I, in spite of my general openness, wanted to leave, but the next piece was a Gottschalk piece with lots of well-known American melodies which was wonderfully comprehensible in comparison. In other circumstances I might have dismissed it but in this particular context it was like water to someone dying of dehydration.

I've been eating more plant based burgers because meat is unsustainable. Carbon emissions from meat are more than all the planes, trains, and automobiles combined. Water required to make 24 hamburgers will fill a pool. Meat is simply an inefficient way of making the calories and proteins we need.

I still eat meat, I've just started moving to more plant based products.

Mark Rober has a good coverage of this in his video "Feeding Bill Gates a Fake Burger (to save the world)": https://youtu.be/-k-V3ESHcfA
You can see how they roughly spend their revenue here [1]. Although it might be out of date now, it does highlight how expensive browser development really is at that scale.

A simple visual indicator of the age of a post such as a zombie emoji (or something less tacky) is all that is needed to quickly disregard zombie posts you aren't interested in. Forums are great but we definitely need a UX overhaul incorporating the last 15 years of web UX research.

Poll: Remote, Hybrid, and In-Office Work (Pol.is)
I heard that pol.is[0] is a neat technology for collective sense-making, and
wanted to try it out! The problem is it's hard to find examples to try. So I
thought I would create my own and submit it to Hacker News (and maybe other
places depending on how it goes).

I have set up the poll to share the results and the visualization. Here is the
poll description:

> If you have thoughts about the advantages and disadvantages about working fully remote, hybrid, or in-office, please submit them as comments or vote on existing comments that communicate your viewpoint.

> The results are open for anyone to view.

> To make a comment, you need to connect Twitter or Facebook. But to vote you do not need either.

I have put three "seed" questions there. But part of the point of pol.is is
that the poll takers generate the best questions as they go. As people vote,
the best statements bubble to the top (I think?). So please submit any
thoughts you have as comments that are not already very well expressed in
another comment/question.

It seems rather derogatory to call people "hold-outs" because we don't trust buggy, novel technology.

On the other hand, we have a term for people who are always installing the latest beta updates and purchasing shiny gadgets: we call them "heatseekers". It's the heatseekers who tend to have unreliable tech and lose control of the gadgets that are supposed to make their quality of life better.

It seems pragmatic and wise to take new technology with a grain of salt. Since I have used computers and other technology for over 40 years, I have developed a good sense for what will be reliable and proven, and what should be avoided until it has been given a chance to mature. Often there are things in the latter category that can be taken up by scammers and hucksters who are eager to make a quick buck.

As always, keep in mind the adage that those who won the Gold Rush were selling the shovels and supplies. I personally enjoy selling shovels.
Nothing but good news. Fakeness and corrupt impossible promises fade away.
For me, the heavy machinery is the worst. Excavators and the like; they're louder than most trucks but stick around in earshot for hours a day. And worse than their engines are some of the tools they use for breaking up road surfaces. The jackhammers and particularly the road cutting saws both make awful noise. The diesel engine noises are easy enough to tune out, but the road saws are like banshees.
Most importantly, pick a linter that can automatically fix it. I use pre-commit (https://pre-commit.com) for that. As a bonus, it supports other, language-specific linters.
Canada might stand to gain on LNG? We have some import terminals but no export terminals[1]. We announced agreement on a project to export hydrogen to Germany [2]. But there are no means for us to export LNG to Europe in the short to medium term (and no one would want it anyway, in the medium to long term. LNG is expensive and emissions intensive, particularly with fugitive emissions [3]).

> 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)

If I wanted to write the next Figma, the first thing I’d reach for is Phoenix Liveview + Channels with Vaxine/AntidoteDB or some other eventually consistent CRDT store for collaborative editing and host it on fly.io - I’d forgo the ‘front end’ completely
I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing. Do you mean that writing about how you love spending time in the woods is evidence that you do not love spending time in woods? I guess John Muir's Wikipedia article needs a substantial rewrite, then.
Lol. Whales and miners control Bitcoin? Love that 2016 FUD
>The old options are all still there.

Increasingly this isn't the case. I'm Amish and people get hostile when I don't have a phone much less a smartphone. Flights, financial transactions of all types, a lot of travel requires it now for some aspect. Those services do not exist for us anymore. Most recently the nearby airport stopped being able to use printed flight passes because the new scanners were built to interface with the smartphone app for the airline, which uses a navy blue background on the boarding passes. Having a printed pass relegates you to a secondary delay to account for that regardless of boarding class.

Does someone paying for identical service as a person owning a phone still deserve to board with others despite the airline's issue with their hardware?
LPARS would be more like Solaris dynamic domains not zones.
"What" to do matters less than consistency (in most cases - if you have technical reasons to pick one or the other, do so). Use a linter that can auto-fix everything and enforce that.
> international same party (sending money to yourself) money transfers

But you've not sent money to yourself, you've sent Eth to yourself, and you still need a forex transaction on each end?

> Does this mean that we have a substrate for person to person hawala systems (which are normally outlawed by the government?)

I've thought of crypto as "hawala banking for geeks" for a while now, but if it's banned by the government then inserting extra steps does not fix that and if you become big enough they will come after you for money laundering.

Why do you want to trade shares via a blockchain rather than a perfectly normal broker?

The idea that mvSQLite is based on (decoupled storage and compute) has been implemented for the other two most popular SQL databases. MySQL and PostgreSQL have Aurora and AlloyDB, and PostgreSQL additionally has Neon. This is something missing from the SQLite ecosystem (before mvSQLite).

And SQLite has a unique advantage when implemented on top of decoupled storage and compute. Decoupled MySQL and PostgreSQL can't really linearly scale from zero in a serverless use case: you need to spin up a compute instance when you want to do queries. This isn't necessary with mvSQLite, because the embedded SQLite library can just connect directly to the multi-tenant storage engine (mvstore).
Ngl I don't even know what seasoning I would put on a burger patty. A burger patty to me is just a disc of ground beef, I don't expect anything else from it.

> the programming profession needs a similar credential

I don't think it needs the credentials, it just needs (language?) to distinguish between roles where you can sign off on a product and be held legally liable if the product is found to fail its specification.

This, in my mind, is the difference between a software engineer and a software developer (I consider myself a software developer).
I had these all the time in college 15 years ago. I liked them!

I've had the Beyond Meat burger patties. The taste is not bad at all, but there is an uncanny valley feeling when you eat it (with the manufactured juiciness) that isn't there with black bean burgers.

It's also very expensive. In Canada, a pack of 4 patties is $8.49.
I drove an XC90 for a few days a couple of years ago — it was by far the nicest car interior I’ve ever been in, and very thoughtful ergonomically in a lot of ways — little things like the side indicators warning lights being big amber triangles in the A-pillars instead of tiny amber spots in the mirrors.

I think it’s more likely the Danish cops got some big fundage.
In college, when cell phones were just becoming a thing (the old dumb ones - yes, I’m old), I resisted on similar grounds. I disparagingly referred to a phone as a “leash,” arguing that the mere presence of something that can interrupt you at any moment takes you out of the here and now.

Fast forward 20 years and I always have my phone in my pocket, and it feels like I’m on a leash.

Being able to communicate with anyone at any time is an amazing superpower. But not being able to be reached when you were out in the world was also really valuable. Especially as a young person exploring the world.

I know we can’t go back to that era, but it makes me sad that my kids won’t have the sensation of freedom that comes from bouncing around town with their friends, only searching for a pay phone when it was time to get a ride home.

Tl;dr: The lived experience of childhood seems to have gotten a lot shittier, and I think phones deserve some of the blame.
> Part of the problem is that deliberately positioning the fake meat products as, well, "fake meat" will forever create unreasonable expectations by way of comparisons.

I've always thought that was strange. Naming products they consume after the very things a lot of vegans are against. Like if a meat eater made something that looked like lettuce out of meat and called it a salad.
To be honest, no, I don't use my eyelids to block anything, and I don't think that's a reasonable thing for a person to do. I don't use any muscles to block billboards; I just look at whatever I was originally planning to look at (usually the road ahead of me), and don't expend much mental or muscular effort to pay attention to OR ignore billboards. The closest I might come is to turn away from ads playing at the gas pump. But that could easily be classified as choosing not to look vs. blocking.
For better or worse, we do, and It's called an MBA
