I don't know that the sole reason for prison is to keep people there until they are no longer a danger to the public. Prison sentences exist for deterrence and punishment, as well as public protection and rehabilitation.
I still use a T520 from 2011 for hobby projects, picked it for 100 euros a while ago. Just gotta love the keyboard travel, I don't think anything available new today comes close. The 1080p screen is perfectly fine for programming, no complains about performance either with i7, SSD and 16GB of RAM as I don't do anything super intensive. Only thing that really sucks is the aftermarket battery.
Yeah, I was looking over the materials and thinking, where’s the Algebraic Geometry? I don’t think that Algebraic Geometry (as opposed to algebraic geometry in the sense that the author here is using it) has any applications to computer graphics, but definitely can be applied to other aspects of computer science (I can imagine it being potentially useful in cryptographic applications), although my own Algebraic Geometry knowledge is more limited than I would like it to be.
1. It's confusing. The fact that there's a "role" attribute that is implicit sometimes and needs to be declared other times and a "aria-XYZ" set of attributes is stupid. The purist HTML take was always "Markup should describe content" - now we're describing content with attributes?

2. It's positioned specifically as being for accessibility. This is bad for several reasons. First, it's not necessary. The entire goal of semantic markup in the first place was to make it so that the content of documents can be read by machines (both screen readers and other systems) - tacking on a special system just for accessibility is basically them giving up on this entirely. Secondly, a lot of people don't care about accessibility. Like I said, in our current system people barely know how to write HTML. Or they write some bastardized version of it in JSX or w/e. You think they're going to learn the intricacies of ARIA? No.

The goal should be for HTML to be a language that when written properly is accessible by default. Not just "hey everybody it's cool if you use divs for everything, just make sure screen readers know what it's supposed to be."

Nah.

Supposedly you have them, but in the meantime the money is in somebody else’s pockets, you have to go to court and everything.

Good luck with that.
We store a few PB of data in Cassandra, have used it for nearly 10 years and in my opinion it's not that hard. Operationally it's way easier to manage than Elastic and most other databases (ex. PostgreSQL, MongoDB) plus there's a ton of documentation available to help you debug/ benchmark your cluster. Note that even though CQL looks similar to SQL it's important to understand the differences but as with any new technology there's a learning curve. I would strongly recommend checking out C* if you need a database with high write throughput and that needs to scale out.
I am not even talking about adding crypto into the network protocol - which I agree is not needed unless you are an ideologue. What I am saying is that smaller instances (from tens to low hundreds of users) could accept crypto for payments and use that to fund its maintenance.

Yeah, you could do it with regular payment processors as well, but with crypto you could not only avoid the fees from micropayments (layer-2 solutions already exist and allow fast and cheap transfers) but most importantly you could run these instances without dealing with bureaucracy. No taxman will come after you because you are getting a few hundred bucks per month.
My academic background is Electronic Engineering and embedded development but found myself in fullstack and then frontend development roles for over 7 years. I began to experience what you described, essentially a bunch of hype technologies bandwagoned by junior devs and HR recruiters spouting buzzwords and insane abstractions, npm dependency hell and glue code coming out of my ears. The whole ecosystem is crazy.

The worst part about it is the technical debt that companies encounter. Technology should be serving business objectives, first and foremost. If your tech-stack is outdated in 2 years time, something is really wrong.

I’ve gone back to EE, hardware engineering and embedded development. I think this specialization probably reduces job availability, but I can always fall back to webdev in tougher times if I have to, and its something to set me apart from all the 8 week bootcamp coders flooding into the webdev market

If you're actively spending time on hundreds of topics, you're effectively spending zero time on any topic.
what’s not nice about it specifically
I concur. Almost everyone in my circle are all either too burnt out, or just tired all the time to do anything else.
The few lucky ones, who can afford to have quit or taken a sabbatical to pursue something else.

I don't know if this is a large scale effect of long Covid, or everyone collectively too exhausted after dealing with everything the last two years. Something's gotta give.

I always find those kinds of comments hilarious. Did you actually fly all of the airlines above, or you just hate LH because you normally fly Singapore Airlines? (perspective is important in those discussions).

As a rule of thumb the oldschool companies always suck less than the cheap companies who try to squeeze every penny out of you in every way. (Or have barely enough fuel so they need to call emergency landing once a month, or don't have enough personnel so they live-cancel late evening flights etc)

Now, I had my long list of issues with LH (it's the airline I fly the most because simply there's no other connection to places I want to go): missed connections, late bags on short connection, cancelled flights, late arrival etc.
(By definition, airlines who do connections have higher risk of this than point-to-point cheap airlines.)

But every time I managed to get a
workable solution to the issue, rebooking at no extra cost, money back quickly after a big delay etc. And no one ever looks whether my bags are not 1mm too big.

Meanwhile with a cheap airlines I had what you were explaining: once the website was not able to give me a boarding card. It was inactive or something. I arrive at the airport and show it to them live, they say sorry f.ck you, pay $$$ for printing boarding card at the airport. You should have called our hotline at $$$ per minute.

It is not difficult. It is just not in fashion to learn SQL directly. I can't tell you how many times I have interviewed "full stack" devs who cannot explain a simple join.

My introductory biology classes informed me well enough to understand that fungal infections can weaken the body's immune systems, weaken the tissue, or spread themselves over an inflamed area, with unfortunate side-effects of generating pro-growth local environments. Any of these may lead to an incidental increase in cancer growth. What's more, cancer was such a rare occurrence prior to WWI, you wouldn't expect that cancer rates would be directly related to pre-existing fungal flora.

I'm pretty sure dissected tumors have eliminated fungal infections as integral parts of many (if not most) cancers. If it's not integral, fungal is opportunistic and likely unavoidable for most cases. I expect that these conceptual models are what makes these kinds of studies difficult to prove.
So here’s the other rub with using the keyboard to enter the command. Most people , even experienced touch typists, will flit their eyes towards the thing they’re trying to interact with.

Therein lies a big part of the problem with eye based interaction. Our brains move our eyes for a lot of different tasks, saccade to get a constant read of your scene (eyes have very poor resolving power so need to move a lot), they also signify what you’re thinking (there’s a lot of studies in neurolonguistics about eye direction signalling how you’re thinking, but at a base level, you tend to look up or away when you’re pondering).

Anyway not to say it can’t be done. But it’s a fascinating domain at the cross section of UX, technology and neural science.

For what it’s worth, there are VR headsets with dedicated eye trackers built in (PSVR2, certain Vive Pro models, Varjo etc..) and there have been cameras from Canon (in the film days even!) that used eye tracking for autofocus targets.

It’ll be interesting to see how things shape up. Meta have their big keynote on Tuesday where the Quest Pro / Cambria is meant to have eye tracking sensors.

That's not true. Just two months ago a friend of mine disputed a DD with her bank and they refused to reverse it because she couldn't prove it was erroneous. I'm nearly sure the DD guarantee used to be stronger, but this part now reads:

> If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society.

The worst part wasn’t Linus rejecting the patch (rightly imho), but him dismissing RT as a small enthusiast’s project. There’s a huge industry depending on this. Like industrial control’s, etc.

For context, here is the rebase of the RT patch set on top of the current Linux release.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-...

The list used to be much much longer. A lot of work is already in the mainline. It remains

- printk
- scheduler
- small fry / driver fixes

Though RT will require constant “gardening” also after being fully mainlined. There’s an ongoing push to educate kernel devs how to not break RT in the future.
Are you eligible to vote? Can you run for Congress? Can you get involved in politics? If yes, that’s the power you have. In America, laws aren’t imposed, they are implemented via a democratic process, and that’s what gives them moral weight. Maybe in your country if things are different you might have a point.

To your PS, I do believe companies break the law, and I complain just as much when they do. IMO anyone pirating content, on some perceived notion that they are acting ethically, lose all standing to complain about lawbreaking by corporations or others who may rationalize breaking the law under their own ethical framework (e.g. it’s ethical to break the law if it means more profit for myself).
All those are just for satisfying the urge to reproduce.
Would there be any traction with a mobo that did not have any of that stuff built-in? There's a lot of advantages to no longer needing expansion cards for networking, so I seriously doubt anyone wants to go back to that. A laptop with a bunch USB dongles connected to a hub could be a doable solve to keep that gear off the mobo.
Haha that's awesome. In fact, part of Reflame was inspired by the good old days of webdev where we could just ship changes by editing PHP files sitting on the production server.

There are obviously very good reasons why we mostly don't do that anymore, but you can't deny how great of a feedback loop that was for shipping to production. We've lost that for the longest time with this new generation of development workflows that take latencies of minutes for granted.

With Reflame I want to restore that awesome feedback loop for shipping we used to have, but this time with all the modern niceties with source control for collaboration and different preview environments to test changes in, so we can have the best of both worlds.
You’d likely want IR cameras and IR sensors to flood illuminate the area outside the human visual spectrum
No, in the way that advertising that your product can play a few homebrew games when it already can play thousands of Steam games makes no sense. It's obviously to hint at playing Nintendo titles.
Scrum is explicitly about giving control to the developers. This is why it's not used "correctly" (read: rigorously) in a lot of businesses, it's fundamentally incompatible with the micromanaging approach that control freak managers tend to use.
One thing I've been playing around for the longest time is gaze detection. You're already looking at the area you need to jump to, with some dedicated hardware you have it as another type of mark and then you just need to lock it in place, switch directly or any number of other actions. Unfortunately you need a _very_ high resolution set of cameras placed in a known pattern around the screen for that and the hardware just doesn't exist to do it yet.

On the bright side once you have the hardware you get trivial 3d scans of your face for VR conferencing.
I agree with the sentiment so this comment is more of a nitpick than anything constructive, but I do feel you may have missed the mark with the typescript example.

Even if you don't want to use TS in it's full glory, you can just rename your files with a `.ts`, turn strict mode off, run everything through the compilation step, and weed out a category of simple mistakes from that alone. Add in that you can slowly add in certain rules to reach a level of strictness as you need and I see no reason how a JS dev would be better off writing vanilla JS than at least using TS and only running the compile step. Of course, I think taking the time to learn and fully utilize typescript the best path forward, even those with absolutely no desire to learn it can utilize some of it's strengths by reading the docs for 15 minutes.

Far from an unnecessary complexity, it's because an incredibly helpful tool at all levels.
It’s a distributed system and if you have been a DBA for a single system like Oracle or MySQL there is a lot of new competencies to learn. That being said, completely doable and it’s typical to see small teams running massive amounts of Cassandra. At the same conference, Bloomberg talked about their large Cassandra footprint with only 4 people.
If you want to run Cassandra in K8s there is the K8ssandra project that automates a lot. It’s a fast growing project as a result. (http://k8ssandra.io)
If you want to use Cassandra and not run it, http://astra.datastax.com. One click and a few seconds, you get a completely serverless version of Cassandra that you only pay for what you use.
I'm sure we will hear a lot more of these stories at Cassandra Summit in March (http://cassandrasummit.org)
I feel exactly the same way. I like the idea in theory, but in practice my code files have too many repeating common characters for a two-letter jump to be useful. The only thing that this extension offers that vim's `/` doesn't is the ability to use it as a movement. But in practice I think that it is too finickey. I just enter visual mode, search for my destination, and then apply the operation.

So for the text

I know that with sneak I could type `gUzx ` to upper case everthing up until 'jumps'. But `v/x <ENTER>U` works just fine, and to my neanderthal brain is way less mental overhead. Not to mention I get to see what I am doing instead of having to just imagine it.
>".. it's an online "everything store" with a yearly subscription that makes delivery of most products free"

No, and I think that the incentives that arise from that model speak for themselves in what Amazon has become.

That is to say, I just don't think it's necessary to have an 'everything store' any longer because the competition has caught up.
Competent programmers don't write comments.

Yeah, that's a ridiculous generalisation but so is yours. Neither of your examples strikes me as something I'd expect a "competent programmer" (read: seasoned developer) to write. In fact, I find the former more suspicious because it assumes the code is correct (which, if I have to read the comments, it probably isn't) rather than clarifying the intent of the code.

Maybe we shouldn't draw extreme conclusions based on arbitrary details that are neither here nor there. Nothing about the code in the article strikes me as evidence that the author must have been a solo dev or can't have been a solo dev. However my experience tells me it's more likely that it was a solo dev because I've seen solo devs write far more interesting and far more complicated programs than the original Bitcoin stuff and it's harder to keep a secret the more people are involved.
Apparently they also launched pretty horrible cookie popup dark patterns. Come on Canonical, even Google learned to do it properly by now.
> “In the end, [low productivity] could have a profound effect on the country's well-being, according to economists.”

Not to minimize the rippling repercussions a of slow economic growth, but this article is entirely framed from an economic perspective. A valid perspective, but also an incomplete one.

What about the impact to individual wellbeing? To community cohesion? To mental health?

If we ask economists if workforce disenfranchisement is bad, they will always say yes. Slow productivity is bad for the economy, but is it really “bad” for humanity.
I'd love info on how much Apple contributed to Cassandra!
It's far too expensive with dubious impacts on forecast quality. Adaptive mesh approaches are far more suitable for high res global weather modeling... Why simulate the area under boring, dynamically unimportant areas?
I was retrieving text from news sites, so URLS were not that relevant.

Some news services will re-issue a story with more information, keeping the same title and description. A full text check is necessary. I computed a secure hash of the text and compared that.

if you have a unique letter, as in this case ("t"), a quicker way is "dtt" (delete till "t") or "ctt" (change till "t"). in case of non unique character it takes a count but that scales badly for me, and i use /.
So Debian?
I was under the impression that the obstacles were at least partly a MacOS issue, because people have encountered difficulties running eGPUs on Intel Macs as well. Would love to hear if/how this is working in the field.
Yes, the noose tightens around the neck, but you're too dumb to notice.
It's not. They ask people to switch off all transmitters during flights (and later to during takeoff and landing) because of RF emissions.

I think that's a little outdated.

I flew a few times a few months ago, and the passengers were repeatedly encouraged to hook up to the plane's wifi as soon as we boarded. No announcements were made about turning devices off. Not even during take-off or landing. I'm one of those people who pays attention to the announcements and reads the safety cards every time, so I was surprised.

I think the airlines think it's safer to have excitable people turned into gadget zombies during the flight to make the time pass faster and keep them from getting rowdy. The same function that the in-flight movie, drink, and meal used to serve before those were all value engineered away.
Great article. Not what I was expecting. The article was informative, actionable and concise.

I learned several things, and laughed at the "When You're Asked To Update Salesforce" meme, which I observed first hand after implementing SFDC and customizing workflows designed by Sales and Product Managers.

I'll be taking a look at Scratchpad and Dooly for sure.

I wonder if the sales teams followed any particular method as depicted in books like Spin Selling or Cracking the Sales Management Code.

Thanks for sharing your insights.
This is for short term weather prediction or long term climate modelling? The 2.5 simulated days per day points into the short term direction.
To be fair, that's only off by 0.0069625621 seconds. Since time advances at the speed of light, you could say everyone lives in Nebraska and still be correct well within the margin of error.
Souns like it's security updates for otherwise out of support versions, 16.04, like MS sells (sold?) for Windows XP.
I’d say it’s medium difficulty, and it’s one of those things that really take time to master.
This is not surprising for several reasons. One of which is Dalle simply can't count. Asking it for 3 of anything will give questionable results. Dalle also doesn't understand relations between objects. It will fail on anything of the form A on top of B. Indeed usually the order of words is irrelevant to the output. Lastly, features of certain length scales (such as lines below some thinness) are always garbled. Try generating the standard face cards in a deck of playing cards to see what I mean.
Thanks for the introduction! :)
I noticed this too! I think their result is a completely valid interpretation of the original prompt.
All valid concerns but if you can find a location that has a small impact on the environment it is hugely beneficial.
Apple didn’t ‘join’ prism. That’s a standard piece of misinformation.
Interesting that this guy retracted his complaint and very publicly alerted folks to his error, and deleted the disinformation he initially spread.

I scanned Finchem's Twitter feed and all I see are more lies about the election having been stolen. Did he post a retraction or anything?

edit: looks like he still has the disinformation up https://twitter.com/RealMarkFinchem/status/15780723461491507...
Add this to the list of the article titles that are obvious bullsh*t without bothering to RTFA.
I am concerned how much your posts center around you writing code and not a team. Are you concerned about maintainability? Have you written software with large teams before and have had to maintain that software over a number of years?
Nintendo also isn't a big fan of people playing Super Smash Bros competitively. They're allowed to have their opinions but I don't see why anyone needs to respect such silly opinions.

I'm teasing about Google's 'so great you can't even see it' effort to build hype for its own offering.
I think it’s pretty obvious most people using Switch emulators are getting the games on the net for free. So it’s awkward to show that on promotional material of another handheld device.
They don’t ask you to turn off all radios during takeoff/landing anymore. Just cellular.
I think this is really your big downside. You're inadvertently competing with Vite and Webpack right now. I don't know if there's a good way around that, though, seeing as your magic is that you've written a faster bundler.

I hate to be the Hacker News commenter who is like "are you going to open source it?" But I am curious, do you think you think you could release your toolchain in a way that people can run it locally and get the same benefits that you're advertising?

(I say this as someone who currently uses esbuild and Preact. Your service looks really cool, but you would have to convert me to react-create-app if that's all you support.)
(Can't reply to your other comment for some reason)

Why is the IR part of the spectrum better for the cameras? Is it because if I take an image of my eye and look at the IR part of the spectrum is it just easier to see parts of my eye that determine where it's looking?
