Shell scripting also inspired some choices (especially syntax) of the Toit language (toitlang.org).

Clearly, it's for a different purpose, and there are some things that wouldn't work in a general-purpose language that isn't as focused on line-based string processing, but we are really happy with the things we took from bash.
Nuclear is just a scapegoat. If it was easy or cheap, the free market would have done its magic. All manufacturing would already be done in a country with unlimited free and clean energy, even if other countries had issues with it. Plant costs, operation, safety, waste management, and non-proliferation are real hard problems. It's just lazy and wishful thinking that there's a deus ex machina if some people would just get over their irrational fears of radioactivity. It is only an easy way of saying "the so-called environmentalists caused global warming" by groups of people that have made no policy efforts, no investment, and have no actual industry expertise.

The surest solution to the problem is to keep using fossil fuels. That will lead to a desertification of the tropics, acidification of the oceans, and the death of about 5 billion people. Eventually, over the next 5-10,000 years, maybe 1-2 billion humans can sustain themselves on Earth near the poles and they won't have the opportunity re-industrialize on mined hydrocarbons because we'll have used up all of it.
So how do companies and universities run these studies. Seems like you woudl have to set up at least a few hundred fake accounts to get enough statistics to to study these biases in the ad algorithm? Does facebook allow it? Or are they violating the end-user agreements?
I had a similar experience. I dusted off my Oculus Quest the other day thinking of revisiting some of the games I like there and seeing how well they had aged.

Immediately was prompted to create a Meta account and no longer had access to all the games I had purchased or installed years prior.

Tossed it right back in the bin it had been collecting dust in, which will likely change to the trash fairly soon.
That presumes that most of what JS does it "manipulating DOMs". At least in my frontend-code, this isn't the case. There is nearly always a much larger part that communicates with backends, sockets, HTTP, manages state, business logic and -validation etc.

The "writing it to screen" is often a rather thin layer. At least in my projects.
That figure is for the Play store and the App store combined.
The primary impact of all of these things is on the purchaser. So not an externality.

Of course, there are arguments around the externalities of all of these things. I view most of those arguments as society contextual (people don't like others smoking, so it is an externality) as opposed to something like carbon which would have a negative externality regardless of this societal/cultural context.

If a site I visit frequently has a paid option to get rid of ads, I'll pay it. Otherwise, I block ads. When it's legislated that ad-free options must be provided maybe then you can claim ad-blocking is immoral, but today it's impossible to live without some ad-driving service. For example, almost all news organizations serve ads and have no paid option. It's not reasonable to expect people not to use the internet at all, we need it to search for all sorts of crucial information.
But we could be able to see the "stuff" left over from space-faring civilizations, like for example their Dyson Spheres. Or simply their AI robots would be self-replicating and colonizing the entire galaxy.
Assuming you had code that somehow could either be packaged as a linux container, or as a Wasm binary, then the advantage of the latter would be that yes Wasm supports multiple CPU architectures out of the box, it also consumes less resources (memory, etc.), will usually have faster start times, and the Wasm security sandboxing is stronger.
It could quite honestly depend on exactly where you live, maybe it is already a good idea. Maybe your neighborhood is plagued by cars and pedestrian hostile design, and you don't have time to travel. Maybe it is the middle of a blizzard. Unfortunately I think technology will encourage this, as our society is primarily optimizing for GDP (ad spend) and jobs (lack of free time and neighborhoods focused on life outside work).
You’re over complicating things. Apple’s Ad Tracking Transparency feature which allows iOS users to opt out of tracking. FB admittedly as much last quarter.

It’s amazing how much more effective a 10 line change to App Store rules was in protecting user’s privacy than a bloated 99 section 11 chapter law - ie the GDPR.
I think Meta is really on to something by going full throttle into VR. One point I've heard Mark make in various interviews is the increasing immersion of social media and the internet in general. We started out with text, then we moved to images and gifs, then video and livestreaming started taking over. The trend is clear. If you've ever tried VR where other people are in the same world as you, it really does feel different in a hard to describe way than just a video call. It's more immersive.

VR won't be the end all be all (at least for the foreseeable future), there will still be people communicating with each other via text/images/videos. Part of the issue is that VR is still thought of as an "experience", rather than a boring tool/avenue to do other things with.
> Advertising is ultimately a doomed business model as it works against your users' interests

From the dawn of mass media it has been subsidized by ads. Newspapers, radio, magazines, television, movies (through product placement), music (through sponsorship), podcasts, and even outside of media: sports, schools, mass transit, etc.

Ads have been a monetization strategy across a mind bogglingly broad cross-section of society for over 200 years.

Individualized ads may get regulated out of existence or maybe even out-competed by more consumer friendly options, but people by and large like the subsidies ads provide. Ad supported music, tv, and movie streaming is wildly popular. HN users often post archive.is links to bypass paywalls which actually opts into a paid-for-by-ads experience.

What we see with meta is their ads becoming less valuable and their stock reflecting that. I think it’s a huge mistake to draw any conclusions about the business of ads other than ads are controlled by the platform.

Apple is hoping these ad dollars flow to them, not that the ads go away.
>draw real time as you explain, which allows you to draw based on audience understanding and what you want to focus on

i am shocked at how little this occurred at the last FAANG i worked at. when i got on a group meeting, and an engineer would start describing a process or system i would start diagramming in the background. when they finished i would pull up my drawing and ask if we missed anything. the answer was usually yes and we would collaborate as we extended the diagram. if i am 1-1 with an engineer and they say they don't understand something, i would break out the drawing tools and explain it as i draw the diagram. 9/10 times the engineer leaves with a great understanding of the problem and is empowered to solve/build/explore further.

i do not understand when an engineer says "i cannot picture the diagram and therefore i cannot draw it". especially when the engineer is senior or above. communication becomes key and when it comes to diagrams, a picture is worth 1000 words.

> A slaver to his slave: Your attempts at achieving freedom are undermining a business model that is letting a lot of people enjoy cheap clothing, and that would be selfishly making the world worse.

This ignores harm of slavery to the slave, but in both the online ads case and your burger hypothetical there are no analogs to the slave.

> I genuinely cannot understand how refusing to consume something makes me selfish.

The argument is pretty straightforward. In your hypothetical, hunger has been mostly solved: everyone can eat as many burgers as they want. But this solution is fragile, and rests on people consuming the lettuce that comes with the burgers. By choosing to remove your lettuce, you increase the risk that this falls apart and we'll be back to the status quo where some people are hungry, and others spend a substantial portion of their income on food.

(I still think this is a silly hypothetical)
It's likely we will blow past 2C as well. It's time to start thinking about mitigation strategies. The mitigations will require geo/bio/agro-engineering which in turn will require coordination across various disciplines using computational tools and techniques.

I’m also wondering by who childless people expect to be taken care of when they get older, if not by their children in a broad sense?

When I teach art history, I present a few artists as ‘atom bombs’ for the influence they had. Caravaggio was one of them for the fact that it was perfectly clear that he painted directly from observation.

The same cannot be said of Michelangelo whose work was a synthetic regurgitation of Greek classics.

Caravaggio (together with Bruegel from a different direction) brought about realism, which remains a major force in creativity (e.g cinema verite, docudrama, street photography etc).

I started reading that book but was disappointed. I live in central Texas, and I didn't recognize the picture he painted.

The face value of the RSU is treated as income (taxed) when it vests.

If the stock then appreciates, you have to hold it for a year to get long term capital gains tax on the appreciated amount (not the original vest amount).

So there's no tax advantage to waiting to sell. Only if you wait and it happened to go up in that time, and then you don't want to incur short term cap gains on that appreciation.

There is a big tax liability problem if you choose not to sell and the stock declines though. You may end up owing more in taxes than the stock is worth in some cases
There is value in VR in that there is at least some demand that Meta is meeting. 1bn+ in quarterly revenue is not nothing. But assuming their VR business could become profitable, the valuation justified by a billion in revenue is still much much much lower, so the dip would be a ways down still.

>If it gets more comfortable and the price point goes down I could see it being a replacement for traditional desktop monitors

This is - quite literally - decades away in terms of panel production and graphics tech. Just like you should not found (or pivot to!) American Airlines in 1919, you should not bet the house on virtual reality in 2022.

envelope calculations

- You need two low heat/low power OLED 8k monitors (or more? Currrent state of the art is 1600x1440 per eye - and it's nowhere near enough to read text) And the current headsets are heavy, with thick fresnel lenses and produce enough heat to make them unusable with an ambient temp above ~23C
- You need a mobile graphics chip better than a 4090 - wayyy better. A 4090 can render a 4k virtual world (more than 4x easier than what I suggested above!) but it requires 450W to do so. So you need >4x the performance with less than a 20th to 50th the power budget).
- And finally, at a price point of $1k. Actually this is probably the easiest part, once any of the above exists, should only take a few more years of scale and sale.

This is if you want to replace the performance of a 100ish DPI 27" monitor. I believe a 2560x1440 is about ~110 DPI, which is very usable and pleasant, but much worse than the 220DPI of a Mac "retina" device (hence why I'm considering 8k per eye, honestly)

Either way, the technology to make small enough OLED panel is close, but not there. Samsung could do it, given how large they've made their AMOLED phones, but it's still a big jump.

The graphics technology to drive that is sooo far away it's not even a twinkle in ASML's eye. Here's your limiting factor.

And then you have to package them together cheaply.
"Constructor property promotion" - so the parameters of your constructor now automatically become properties of the class? So, for saving a few keystrokes in some cases, they have introduced a feature that I imagine is extremely confusing if you're not familiar with it (parameters go in, and then nothing happens with them - whaaat)? And what if I don't want to have my constructor parameters as properties, maybe because I process them somehow in the constructor, and set some other properties instead?

And a colleague of mine is a huge fan of the new "match" keyword - he's working on a sports management application, and of course he had a "Match" class, used everywhere, which he had to rename...

It's not. Advertisement can and has worked very well without wholesale collection and trading of private user information.

It's nice. Maybe the best matterport's example I have seen so far...
The 3D in the transitions [of two 360 photos] are really good and the pixel quality is great.

But still... The very limited part of Matterport is that it is "mostly" a series of 360 photos.

Now, because a pyramid is mainly a long corridor, you do not see too much those limitations.

So great.

Lots of answers on using the type support that is there, but some use of forced casting is also common, as is using === when appropriate, avoiding "if ($bool)" in favor of "if ($bool === true)" for boolean comparisons, using linters, static analyzers, and so on.

I recall another HN post prior to covid about the MIT administration clamping down on the culture, but don't remember what specifically.

I watched a lot of nice-to-haves get removed over the years at the school I attended too. The founders of a local business had gone to the same school, and saw similar in their time. They put in very succinctly: it's a gradual slope in one direction and it only takes 4 years for the people who remember and care to disappear.
Semi-related, the Great Pyramid was also scanned using muon radiography, by which a "big void" was discovered [0]. Muons can penetrate through a lot of material, so they can see through very large, thick things like the pyramids.

And even if you did modify it, that's still not a copyright problem. It only becomes one when you distribute the modified version. Modifying something or circulating instructions on how to modify something are completely legal (unless you run into anti-hacking laws).
No, nice try I guess but this is wrong in several ways.

Morals are not defined by capitulating to the wishes of others. If it was, the moral thing for advertisers to do would be to not try to show people ads who don’t wish to view them but do wish to consume content. Your argument here falls apart the second you consider any symmetry.

Furthermore, there are decades of history of advertisers being perfectly aware that most people would prefer not to see the ads, given a choice. They do not, in fact, expect people to just watch the ads. As evidence of this fact, they have come up with dozens and dozens of legal and technical mechanisms to force people to view their ads despite their preferences.
Reasons why Meta has no future:

1. Multiple share classes. Meta (or Alphabet) would be blocked from joining SP500 with current rules.

2. Horrible corporate governance. Leadership without accountability. Mr. Zuck can't be ousted. Meta is his personal toy.

3. Meta business is peaking. Growth by acquisitions is blocked by new regulatory environment.
> Their recent pivot to "discovery" is a move in the right direction,

I'm not following META closely. But isn't this another pivot to diversify their userbase, rather than diversify their revenue-stream?

Or is there some plan to monetize this "discovery" outside of their common "targeted advertising"?
It sounds like you're bitter because you think having all people take personal responsibility for their own actions is the only solution, and you don't see people doing that. I used to feel similarly.

But I think the real problem is not the moral failings of individuals; I think the real problem is that we've collectively built a system that rewards people for doing the wrong thing. If we can collectively decide to fix the system to reward better behavior, then everyone wins. This is still a tremendously difficult undertaking, but it at least feels possible to me.

So nowadays I try to spend my efforts pushing for systemic change instead of worrying about how much plastic I used today or whatever. In some cases this still boils down to individual action, like when I bought my first EV, but in that case I didn't buy it to try to cut down my own emissions, I bought it to try to help fund EV R&D, raise awareness of EVs, and help companies scale up manufacturing and whatnot.

Not only does working for systemic change give me more hope, it's also more personally satisfying to feel like part of a broader movement to build a better world, rather than feeling like I'm just one tiny drop in a bucket of individuals trying to limit their own damage.
