It's popular because these war stories you find in blog posts are pure survivorship bias.

If I'd let every fucking team member go on an exploratory bug hunt whenever they feel like it (hint: that would be always) we would never get anything done.

What if they don't find anything? Is this issue really worth 2 weeks of dev time? That's 15k down the drain for a senior engineer, if not more.
For the confused, Cork is a city in the south of Ireland where people more frequently than in other places in the world end sentences with "boy".
They’re operating Taxi services in San Francisco. A city that doesn’t experience any real-world weather, with an area of like 50 square miles where speeds generally never exceed 25MPH. They also have humans watching cameras that take over when the self driving breaks down.

It’s a completely different problem space, like claiming someone built a train and therefore they can easily build self driving cars since they are both “driverless”.
Well, I hope you get them because allegedly that's the very reason they just shot Android SMS in the head: to "free up" resources to work on usernames

I'm sure this stories and the cryptocurrency were implemented by bug free machine generated code and thus didn't detract from said username workload
In the real world political tenability matters a lot, so I don’t really think ”fixes” that ignore it are very interesting to discuss. But if we’re already assuming politics doesn’t matter there’s a much more effective solution: ban cars entirely.

This honestly looks pretty interesting, and reminded me of Obsidian more than anything; I wonder what the level of effort would be on inter-compatibility between this and obsidian projects ( obsidian has a nice mobile app, which would be useful for bridging the gap back to vscode on a full machine )
How would we even know what most React Native apps are like to… know this?
It’s consistently baffling to me how very long winded “docker run” invocations win out over config files.

I don't' take rejection personally but it still sucks.
Manufacture cost is estimated to be roughly $30. Retail price of no-name, little-margin AirPods knockoffs corroborate this.

I wouldn’t know where to begin with research and engineering, since all their products benefit from audio research and testing, iCloud, device inter-connectivity, etc. AirPods wouldn’t be any good without years of prior work on iOS. But they reportedly assign development costs roughly equal to manufacturing costs, which would put them at $60 and $100 of margin. This would make them contribute more to Apple’s target margin than the average product. This value is possible because of the state of the market, for whatever reason.
Efficient for dev time, not so sure about mobile app size, RAM usage, or response time.
I recently started using this, but I have to say it is of limited utility without folding. I nearly always end up opening up .org files in emacs instead just so I can collapse sections and concentrate on the stuff I care about at the time.
Deuterium-Tritium fusion produces a neutron each time. Neutrons are not charged and so escape magnetic containment slamming into the reactor wall, transferring heat to it.

This is how you get heat out, it's also how you breed more tritium from lithium.
Is there an import from roam?
Recently spent a week travelling through Portugal. Saw a lot of cork-based trinkets for tourists. Didn't realise cork was such a fundamental part of Portuguese culture.

Also didn't realise it was fire resistant!

I am now intrigued by the possibilities of what we could make with this spongy wood.

But at over 40 years until it's harvestable, it doesn't look like I'll be reaping the rewards of planting my own cork trees any time soon.

Are there any ways to support existing cork farms and invest in new plantations?
Hey just want to say thanks a ton for making this. My son and I went out side and laid on the patio watching the starlink sats pass by and it was neat. We never realized that they were there.
Haven't had time to read the article (yet)—but I'm hoping the headline means those soulless synthetic corks that I'm always disappointed to find when peeling away the foil of an otherwise enjoyable bottle of wine will be disappearing.
Little known fact: In Western Europe when they decided to prioritize the passenger train network it forced 80-90% freight onto trucks on roads.

These tools are struggling it seems to make money and are forcing some super high prices for syncing. Obsidians sync price is nutty. $15/mo for logseq is equally nutty.

I would really urge these companies to try to find a better way. You can’t bend your users over that want seamless sync. Take a little from a larger user base so you aren’t charging so damn much for sync. It’s ridiculous.

Charge $12 a year for some common features as a base package. If users want to go higher up add sync at a reasonable price and give them the same features plus sync.

Sync pricing shouldn’t subsidize free users, at least in my opinion.
I don’t know. To me, the biggest benefit of TypeScript is dumping all the types on my brain onto the screen.

It’s easier to maintain in the future, when I don’t have to do so many mental gymnastics to understand the data behind my code.
it’s not nothing at all. it’s a lot, especially considering the complexity of the materials used. what’s in a battery? 3 or 4 different materials that we’re well set up to recycle?

this isn’t the issue of where to dispose these phones, it’s the issue of where the materials are coming from in the first place, and how allowing unfettered market forces to roam free (the most blatant illustration being planned obsolescence) creates huge externalities, nicely encapsulated by the example of 5 billion phones being thrown out in a year

I looked up “tv remote”. Apparently in the old days the tablet you used to watch videos was in some kind of large box with a glass screen, and the “TV remote” was the user interface for that box. Or something. Still trying to envision all of this ;)
Is there any insight into how long a road from 1 to 10 it is?
I recently bought a vintage computer (made in late 90s). It's cool but useless today. I always think about that with regard to e waste like "it could be used" but no not really. Maybe you could power a bunch of them/distributed compute but is it worth it. "Give them to a poor country" like they want your old tech?

Idk I think about minimalism eg. have only one computer vs. a few that each get used a few times. But that's the beauty of having the ability to buy things too.
Youtube is kind of unique in that nothing (currently) even comes close to replacing it for the average youtube user.
I did, for various reasons including that
I did, thanks.

Since I missed that sentence it seemed odd compared to hackers out of Romania or anywhere else.
I feel like I could literally copy and paste my reply to your earlier comment and it would work as a response to this one, but I guess I'll just try explaining it in a different way.

The way you're talking about this policy could be used to justify literally any wealth redistrubtion to the needy, no matter the amount or criteria. How would you feel if instead a policy were enacted that spent 400 billion to pay of 10k from everybody's mortage, so long as their income was less than 125k/250k (single/household)? I think that would also be a bad policy, because while it would absolutely help people, the selection criteria excludes very similar people who we have reason to believe are more in need (same demographic and same income but rent instead of own). It also includes people who are clearly not in need (high end of that income range is very low on the heirarchy of needy in this country).

Even if you're in favor of that policy as well, I'm sure we could come up with one that you'd oppose, even if it did help a lot of people in need. Maybe the mortgage policy doesn't include a restriction to "primary residence", so a bunch of landlords get to benefit from it as well as long as they're not making >125k. So, by opposing that policy's enactment, are you saying "fuck you" to the people it would have benefited that were actually in need? Or are you just holding your leaders accountable for doing their job better?

> By your own admission you actually do not care about the burden that student debt has on poor people, your position is solely about the “wrong” type of person getting help.

My position--and I think I've been extremely clear about this--is that help should be distributed according to well-justified critiria. Both exclusion and inclusion criteria need to be carefully considered to minimize the degree to which we help people with less need more than we help people with more need. I think everybody probably agrees with that, so it feels silly to state it. I think you're just confused by the way I'm modeling the hypothetical world where this policy is not enacted. By all means, let there be 400 billion dollars allocated to social welfare. I just think this particular policy is bad spending.

Also let me just say that if you're going to frame a reply using the assumption that I am just some evil scrooge who is conspiring to undermine all welfare programs to deprive the needy, and that I'm lying through my teeth when I say I'm fine with the money being spent I just want it to be spent better, then please just don't reply at all. I'm here for discussions, not flame wars.
Think of this e-waste as a giant wheel made of phones and other electronics: this wheel gets pushed by billions of users, driven by the need to look better than others, and the electricity the wheel produces is the profits that feed the rich, who are driven by greed. Both users and owners are blinded by desires. The by-product of this curious process is waste all over the planet.
I mean like all the stuff that displays in and around the code, that isn’t the code itself. For example warnings, hints, etc. An obvious example of something you can’t do in Neovim is display information in a smaller font. Generally speaking you just don’t have nearly as many options for creating information hierarchies in a UI consisting of ASCII characters.

In terms of turning things off, if you turn them off, then what’s the point of having the language server? (Not a rhetorical question - I would describe myself as a workaday programmer, not a master by any means.)
Haha, yes ofc. It was a tremendously minor part of the article seemingly and yet made it to the headline
Sure they soften a bit, but I've never had significant issues with cardboard straws. Plastic straws are awful in terms of trash, and disposable plastic bags need to go away too.
I'm proportionately less concerned about the final "R" as I am about the first 4: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle
Besides the obvious ignorance: I don't think she is saying what billions are thinking.

If it were true we wouldn't be as badly progressing with climate action as we are.

For instance, we would have already billions of vegan people.
I don’t understand why this effort was undertaken vs migrating to NextJS and accomplishing the same thing in half the time without needing to ramp up more Python.
I wasn't aware that the third world had a single race.

Do you per chance also think that poor kids are just as smart as white kids like the current president?

>It's on all of us to make a difference, however small.

Great, so why aren't you an e-waste recycler?
It is if their goal is to grow profits. The big fish (where the money is) will demand certain features and thus products like this will provide it.
By “abortion”, I don’t mean the act itself, more the attitude and specifically voting preferences of others.

Regardless of your stance on this, how others think and vote will affect other people.

For example, I am pro-choice. I believe people should have a right to access abortion if necessary. I don’t need to change someone’s mind if they don’t personally want to support abortion, but I do need to change their mind if they want to vote for people who will restrict that right.

See also: climate change.

There are many areas where you can and should agree to disagree and there will always be middle ground compromises in the details, but some issues really are black and white. Either you believe other people should have access to abortion or you don’t.

Also, and I hope this is obvious, the point is not whether you think abortion is right or wrong, it’s that other people’s decisions can affect you or your family or the world in general.
In the React ecosystem, Remix.run embraces a much simpler approach than Next.js.
What if 741 new features are introduced to Cloud Logging, will these be forced onto the Firebase user?

Oppression of choice is a real problem. Firebase must cherry pick the best of the new features and wrap it in their own UX in order to stay relevant.

Being booted into a completely new and unfamiliar UX with dozens of knobs and dials is a jarring experience.

It might not have been a managers OKR but it’s very obvious that in an effort not to lose the “whales” your casting the new too widely and potentially killing a lot of smaller fish.
It's not 15$/mo for sync, though. They're just opening up the closed alpha in stages, from the highest tiers to the lowest. Right now the ones donating 15$/mo have access.
Hands down, the best and most interesting software projects I've seen were usually created by 1-2 individuals.

Aside from that, maybe the current sqlite team. Also, the twisted python team back in the day.
Right, 330,000,000 people in aggregate control that capital through countless layers of abstraction explicitly designed to prevent the vast majority of it from being allocated quickly. And this is in general a good thing because it’s an important mitigation against autocracy and catastrophic negligence.

The differences in the dynamics of these pools of capital are so enormous and so obvious I have to doubt that even you give your argument any credence.
Something to keep in mind is that since normal hydrogen is about 0.1% deuterium, all hydrogen-containing molecules end up also 0.1% deuterated by default - so the effects of a deuterated molecule can only differ from the normal to the point that in 0.1% concentration it would not be noticed.

What is the best framework to build a high performance web application on? Specifically for building a UI to work with large sets of tabular data similar to a spreadsheet, e.g thousands of rows. Is Htmx up for this task?
Wow! Pretty impressive that the whole thing is based on notion!
MySpace nostalgia is still very very big.
I actually rebuilt the original MySpace last year and called it "SpaceHey" (with blogs, forums, customizable profiles with css, bulletins, etc.) - it has over 550k users already and is still growsing rapidly. Pretty crazy!
Mushroom foraging sounds really fun but I’m too scared to eat anything that I find.
it may well be racist or more likely overly western-centric, but it’s mostly just not helpful to talk like that. besides, these issues aren’t solved by well-meaning volunteers in developing nations, they’re solved by government action on a macro scale
So the assumption is that once you exceed 1 with some reactor architecture, you've more or less got it provided you can build a bigger containment vessel.

ITER is as large as it is because within reasonable magnetic field strengths, you still need a certain amount of distance to curve the charged particles back towards the centre - and probability means you have a distribution, some but not all will make it. Bigger vacuum vessel, the more particles you can loop back into your reactor.

So, if we can provably get over 1, and validate our plasma behaviour models, we can then derive the correct engineering equations to target a specific Q factor when building the production type reactors.
We need modular phones like the frame.work laptop. This is possible with some limitations, but Apple and others will not make as much money. Battery replacement is a no brainer, but why can't the camera and other components be a module to remove and replace when a new one is released?
Incredibly solid counter. Thanks for linking me/us - interesting reading.
I am ancient. When I was your age there was a very old joke that went some thing like “Dr., will I be able to play violin after the operation?“ The doctor says: “absolutely.“ And the patient says “great, because I don’t know how play violin at all“. I was sure other old-timers had use this joke before my latest operation, and I was going to overturn it by saying “good because I actually do play violin.“, knowing they were expecting the other punchline. Alas, this joke has completely expired. No one under 30 or so has heard it. I looked like a damn fool.

I can't find any data on anything like that.

But quick googling reveals an iPhone contains 0.034 g of gold. Another stat says one ounce of gold requires 100,000 oz of ore, so the 0.034 g of gold would require 3.4 kg of ore. Nowhere even remotely close to half a ton. I can't find similar stats for e.g. palladium ore used to extract palladium, but remember that the amounts of precious metals in phones are truly tiny.

The news reports I'm finding about "cell phones" and "tons" refer to water -- one report says 13 tons of water per phone. While a pair of leather boots is 25 tons of water, for comparison. But water is recyclable, and it doesn't seem like a concern particularly specific to electronics.

The difference between 60hz and 120hz is massive in gaming. I know this because I play an FPS that usually runs at 120Hz and I really notice when it drops to 60 when the action gets intense.

The difference between gaming at 4K and 1440p or even 1080p however is not that significant imo. Competitive (and many casual) gamers prefer a high frame rate to high resolution.

But as display technology improves people will just come to expect their games should run in native 4k resolution.
I think the site has been overloaded - that link just returns an empty page and new queries just spin forever.
The whole point of the covid measures was/is not to avoid getting covid, but to slow it down. Because if everyone is sick at the same time, it's extremely bad.

There is a balance to find between living the rest of your life with a mask and refusing to help slowing the pandemic down by doing a small effort, because YOLO. But that's far from being globally understood.

Yea htmx definitely has a different programming model than an SPA style framework like React/Preact. I actually like the JSON api programming model where the backend is as simple as possible, and the frontend js/ts code is completely responsible for handling the UI, but I guess it's a matter of personal preference.

The linked article is referring to a team switching from React to htmx though, so for them I'd imagine it would've been a much easier transition if they'd just added a Webpack alias[1] that replaced React with preact/compat, rather than switching to a completely different UI paradigm.

On the surface that appears to make no sense at all. Do you mind being a little more descriptive?
A spreadsheet is probably not amenable to the hypermedia approach because of the complicated inter-dependencies between arbitrary parts of the screen. You don't want to gate those updates on a hypermedia exchange.

I would look at writing either a custom solution or one of the big reactive libraries like vue.js for something like this.
Try a less clear cut debate topic. One where intuition works against you.

Like the wave of anti-trans legislation and framing of our mere existence as grooming in red states. It's much harder to see the outright wrongness and evil.

It's easy with the Russians. We got propaganda pieces where the message to foreigners is always "we fight nazis in Ukraine" and the message inward is "we fight against having to go to pride parades and having our children turned gay by satanists". [1]

Now trans people? Hardly anyone bothers to read up on us, but we're the wedge anyhow. Even most democrats seem to have little interest in defending us beyond some surface level posturing. This debate solely exists to mobilize republican voters with a heavily framed appeal to their intuition and disgust reflex. We're just the next cataclysmic threat that can only be averted through national rebirth (hey, wanna make america great? again?). Because apparently CRT lost steam.

I think I earned the right to be cynical about both bloodsport-type debates and this "just be like, nice, dude" because the outcome of this debate has a really good chance at fucking up my life.

There's a reason that developing countries end up recycling e-waste, and crying racism does nothing to change that.
Ah Ithaca is so tremendously close to my heart.

It is also a liberal college town with all of the externalization that can invoke. You only need to head to Oswego, or Genesee county generally to find a lot of upstate NY conservatism, often similarly openly shared.
yes, you’re right, 5 billion multiplied by most common numbers is going to be a huge number, and that is why this matters, not why it doesn’t
Another great horror story, thanks for sharing :)
But that’s just what securities fraud is though, it’s a very technical violation.

That’s low-key the best explanation of queuing theory I have ever encountered.
I live in a small American suburb, have lived in large cities, and travel to Europe, NYC, LA, SF on the regular. And I wouldn’t trade my car and the ability to drive somewhere for anything in the world.

There are a lot of great things about cities but you are dependent on other people for everything in your life, and it can go sideways incredibly fast. I.e the energy situation in Europe, or with COVID-19. Personally I don’t know how it’s not obvious to the millions of people who live in places like that.
