> 2 - Aliens are everywhere, but we cannot perceive them

We can detect neutrinos with advanced instruments. We've never had an evolutionary reason to do that.

There's really just no room for this explanation. Energy and mass are one and the same. If we can detect neutrinos, but not these intelligent aliens that are everywhere, it means that they don't occupy physical space, don't have mass (and therefore must move at C only), don't use energy, don't send signals to one another, don't accelerate or decelerate, aren't involved in chemical reactions, don't interact with any of the particles we do, don't perceive light, etc. etc. At that point, they basically don't exist in our universe.

It's not enough to say "but ants don't know we exist!" -- first of all, yes they do. Secondly, you're really saying that intelligent ants who formed an advanced society, had a scientific revolution, and built instruments capable of determining the number of moons on Jupiter, still would not know we exist. That is clearly ludicrous.

And this doesn't even solve the Fermi paradox! There's clearly plenty of "room" for aliens that are "somewhat similar" to us; that is, they actually are made of protons and neutrons, etc. Where are all those aliens?
I have pretty bad astigmatism in my left eye (which I wear glasses for) and suffer from other visual issues like ghosting, floaters, and eyestrain reading text that doesn't hit my personal sweet spot for contrast. A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a new Obsidian theme (mostly for writing, not coding) since the one I used to like isn't maintained anymore, and out of all the themes I tried I prefer Nord by a wide margin.

It's hard for me to square the above (my own experience) with your assertion in this thread that Nord should (essentially) not exist in its current form. If it went away or changed significantly, that would be a loss for me. I hope it stays the same, because it may not be perfect for everybody in the world at once but it is pretty close to perfect for me, at least, and I know I'm not the only one.

Now, I'm obviously talking about UI themes in the context of applications where the user can easily select different themes according to their preference. In contexts where that's not possible, application developers should aim for a design that's usable for as many people as possible, and though I don't know much about WCAG I assume it's a great way to achieve that. The question is, what is Nord supposed to be used for? Are its creators pitching it for one-size-fits-all UIs?

You strongly imply in your comments here that the answer is 'yes', but just from reading over the website linked by OP I disagree. Their pitch is somewhat vague, but lines like "Nordify your digital home" and "unify the appearance of your favorite applications" seem to say the opposite: that it's primarily intended for personalization, and not meant to satisfy the accessibility needs of everybody.

I think that's okay. Evidently having a wide variety of UI themes available, not all of which comply with WCAG, has made my life better wrt. my own (minor, IMO) disability. I don't take offense when others publish and use UI themes that don't work for me; rather, I appreciate the fact that I'm free to do the same according to my own preferences.
“Expect $40k”

Job done.
If we're calling both "framework" (though as another commenter mentioned, the React package is pretty much just a UI library) then you can think of React as a UI framework and Remix as an application framework. You use the React UI framework in the Remix (or NextJS) application framework.
Indeed, I feel that the Switch wouldn't have been such a mega hit if not for the WiiU's failure.

I don’t dispute that there is a lot fear bound up in the idea of death, but I disagree that accepting that our existence is finite all has to be terrifying. I actually find the idea finality comforting: It gives meaning to my life, and a bounded scope to my concerns (which is not to say I don’t care what happens after I die… until the moment I die I expect to have concerns about the future of those I care about, but I know ultimately there is a limit to my influence and responsibility).

On the other hand I view concerns about the afterlife to actually be somewhat depressing. So much time and energy from the limited time we actually have being spent on some fantasy that is completely unverifiable, and so much of it motivated by fear (of hell, emptiness, a vengeful god, etc).

To state my view point simply: The unknown is scary, concerning oneself with an afterlife (or singularity, life extension, etc) is a coping mechanism to avoid processing that fear, whereas admitting that our existence is finite is an acceptance that there are things we can’t know, can’t prepare for, and that we shouldn’t waste our time on.

You need to educate yourself about FinCEN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Crimes_Enforcement_N...). You'll end up with the same issue with alternatives, as no business which handles payments is immune to having to abide by the FinCEN rules.

And because Cuba is likely still a country listed as sanctioned, the mention of "Cuban" in the description likely triggered a higher level check to verify you were not trying to transfer money to Cuba via Venmo (which would run afoul of the sanctions).
By the same mechanism that makes it work for commodities and public equity markets.
> never ending dynamics

Mostly. I think it depends on the life stage of the product/app. The interesting thing about this dynamic is that if you prioritize code quality, having the "right" architecture, etc. without building the features to capture paying and keep customers then its not likely the app/product will be around long.

Make sure the app is designed to be agile enough to adapt but don't solve problems you don't have.
Reminder that if that's the case the company cannot have any employees in that state. Otherwise they have to have a real reason for limiting the geography i.e. the position isn't remote.
This allows you to expose either a view or a function in your app to be shown/executed in another app.

What if there is no corresponding native app? Are web sites more buggy than competing native apps?
clunky

I thought it was totally fine. I spent a lot of hours gaming on that thing. I did not find it too heavy and anecdotally my friends' kids didn't either.

However, I can certainly understand that it looked massive and heavy. That was my assumption as well. Bit of a marketing issue there.

annoying

It was more useless than annoying. Some games used it in slightly awkward ways, sort of like the early DS days when devs were experimenting (and being forced/encouraged by Nintendo to experiment with) new forms of control.

expensive to replace in case it breaks

It was very durable in my experience. The screen is plastic, and ultimately I'd say it's just about exactly as durable as a DS or 3DS... after all, Nintendo knows how to build such things.

But, once again, your assumption totally made sense. Another marketing issue.

It was the primary reason we [passed on it]

Me too. Then, a few years back, a friend gifted me one and I had a blast with it. Most of the best games wound up on the Switch though, so ultimately you did not miss out.
What has comma.ai delivered? Who are their customers?
This Apple ExtensionKit documentation page opens with "Extensions are executable code bundles" but doesn't provide any executable code bundles such as examples, doesn't provide any way for a developer to ask a question, and doesn't show how a developer learns to create an extension.

This misses opportunities to reach developers-- and the tech is actually really compelling. I'm experimenting with it in the BoldContacts app, which conceptually extends the Contacts app to give disabled people ways to contact their families and caregivers.

Apple's documentation group needs a new leader ASAP who can emphasize documentation usability in concert with real-world developers. Apple wants its platform to continue being successful, and this goal can be helped by a documentation team that creates examples, questions-and-answers, and tutorials.
Loathe to give outrage reposters views but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkQbHyLE6Tc

The video was posted by a remote financial analyst who was visiting the SF office for the first time. She describes what amounts to maybe an hour of break time, including lunch -- the rest of her day is meetings and working time. The perks are nice, maybe too nice you could argue, but the notion that the video proves she (and other Twitter workers) don't do any "real work" is idiotic. It's a short video, a tiny sample of her work day -- why would she dedicate any portion of it to showing her crunching numbers in Excel or whatever?
Show HN: CVitter – generate an alternative profile page for your Twitter account
Initially, I created the project for Chirp Dev Challenge hackathon this Summer. The idea behind it was very simple: enhance Twitter profile page. The problems solved with these enhancements are:

1. The existing page does not show all the available data that can help users to understand if they want to follow someone or not. Some users try to describe what they tweet about in description or in a pinned tweet. But not everyone does this though.

2. Sometimes, it happens that you follow a user, but it turns out they mostly tweet in a language you don't know. A few latest tweets shown on the profile page do not necessarily match the most used language.

3. Sometimes you follow a user because you liked a tweet or two, but later it turns out they write about the topics you are generally not interested in.

4. It would also be nice if the profile page contained some fun and catchy stuff, just for the sake of it:).

In the ideal case, I’d prefer for it to work for any user without the need to login beforehand, but then the app limits would be quickly hit unfortunately.

In case you are not sure you’d like to login yourself, please take a look at some generated profile pages:

Type checking and schema are two different things.

Both your application and documentation will assume certain state to be true, but only with type checking you can actually verify if it's correct.

Just came into the thread for the comments and am not disappointed.
The lowering of standards, shortages, expensive fuel, food inflation are all reminiscent of Communism. People don't feel like working for a system when it seems to be failing them. A million dollars for a new home, when the lower bracket still makes under 50k, and get raises in cents. Just kind of kills incentive to work hard, when even if you do starve and penny pinch your way into some savings, inflation will eat it away anyway.

The big thing for me was address space size and computer sophistication.

DOS was still popular because it was so much cheaper than a workstation. Single-tasking means exiting your editor to do code check-ins and having to reload your context a lot. Networking was definitely an after-thought that many didn't have access to.

The bigger issue was the device you were programming. Small memory. Pointer sizes that might not be what you expect. Integers that overflow if you fail to think about their sizes. Pointers that cannot reliably be compared without normalizing them first. No threads. An operating system that does nothing other than provide access to files.

I've used C++ for my entire career. CFront 1.2 was a very different language than modern C++. Sometimes people wonder why I use stdio.h instead of iostreams: it's because stdio.h is basically unchanged since cfront and that code still works while and iostreams have changed significantly multiple times requiring re-writes.

One thing I miss is some of the color schemes in the Turbo Pascal/C IDEs. Yellow on Magenta and Yellow on Cyan were fantastic. I'm not sure why those color schemes don't work in GUIs -- I suspect it's because the geometry of fonts is so much different than text-mode graphics. Text mode had super thicc and clear fonts made out of so very few pixels.

Grief doesn't have stages. They don't come in order, and there's no way to grieve wrong. Bereavement is a very difficult time, no matter the cause. Not everyone survives it. In the event of a nuclear holocaust, it's not clear if the lucky ones are the ones that survive or the ones that died in the blast. Thankfully, MAD doctrine assures us we'll never see that, despite what cold war propaganda would have you believe.

The Official NormConf API Is Live

TIL Rakuten has a cloud services business, but I'm still not sure what it is.

Clicking on one of the pages for Rakuten Symphony (https://symphony.rakuten.com/automation/a-single-platform) I think I'm even more confused:

"A single platform, where all operational data sits powering real-time AI driven feedback loops for continuous workflow improvements.
In the platform, automation enablement scales to the size of the wanted business rather than being limited by the operational headcount."

I feel like an entire graduating class of MBAs is kept employed just maintaining this page.
Probably about 15 to 20 mph. Once on a country road going down a hill in a bend; I slipped on loose gravel and had to replace my helmet. The second time, about the same speed but on a country bike path (flat land, next to a canal). I slipped on a large wet stone embedded in the path and again had to replace my helmet.

I've fallen a few other times besides those two, but those are the worst two and I think without a helmet I would have been seriously injured if not dead.
I'd like to take this moment to call out how atrocious Apple developer documentation is. This is honestly embarrassing. I would reject contributions at my company that shipped APIs/headers with this caliber of documentation. People who do it regularly get bad performance reviews.

I don't know if it's because they actually hate developers, or they're just bad developers themselves.

More on topic, this is an interesting approach to a tricky problem that exploits one of Swift's strengths (a stable ABI) and Apple's tight integration across the system (standardized app installation/structure/store/etc). You expose some functions as an extension/plugin API and other apps can just call them. Neat! IPC kind of sucks!

What could use some more discussion is how if you have two apps running and calling eachother (or being called from eachother), how does that affect the threading model? Are calls scheduled to happen later on the main UI thread, or are they actually coming from a separate process and you need to worry about synchronization if that call affects any kind of state?
Can you please expand on this a bit more? I live in Colorado and saw virtually no change when looking for a new job inside and outside of the state last year. I did run across a few "no job applications from CO" as was mentioned in other comment threads, but most job postings I saw did not post salary information.
What is notable about this thread? Martin is proposing to replace pre-existing (functional) components of the kernel with his own contributions. The maintainers responsible for these components want to understand this implementation before merging it. Spending 2 months discussing a patch like this is not uncommon, particularly if we're talking about shot-in-the-dark implementations of undocumented hardware interfaces.
Can you point me to more information about the GameCube part? Speaking as an owner of an almost broken down GC with a large library, and a very functional Wii U with a smaller one.

I used to commute from Bellevue WA to Kirkland WA, the mainly way across the freeway was either to go down this road over the freeway that didn't used to have sidewalks https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6393386,-122.2032674,17.25z or go 2 miles out of the way and up a huge hill. The right lane is where people wanted to go to get on the freeway at the time. It was easiest to just get in the left lane and do 40mph down the hill which is what cars did speed wise. People gave me plenty of berth if I was moving at car speeds. If I went slow on the right I got tailgated.

My bike was quite stable at 40mph.

No I wouldn't go that fast on a bike path, this was only due to the power of gravity.
Having used both, if you already know NextJS well then I wouldn't bother switching to Remix. If you want some of the Remixy API-niceness in NextJS land then you can use tRPC (for example, there are probably other options).

Nothing against Remix, I do like it, it just isn't differentiated enough from NextJS to both switching for me - yet, at least.
What often happens is you never get to "code standardization across the org" because technology changes too fast. But you still have to deal with overly complex patterns, varying and mis-applied patterns, etc.

Maybe I’m being a bit too cynical, but why would someone take time to write this article if they think Meta is doing great?

My guess is that they are stuck with a lot of shares and want the price to go up to get rid of them.

If I thought Meta is doing great, I wouldn’t try to convince others that, I would take the opportunity to buy and horde as many stocks as possible.

Apple has clearly had difficulties scaling its company to maintain this sort of integration though. They're not bad enough to materially harm it, but you can see the seams. Nothing hides problems like success so I suspect, if Apple does start to founder in the next decade, we'll look back and blame the nest of internal dependencies they have leading them to fall behind peers using off-the-shelf parts.
> only the employee knows what they'll move for ... This legislation makes [that] secret public knowledge.

Not everyone's motives is the same on this, so it's still secret. Some people will require more than a small bump to move into the risk of an unknown new employer.

Also, some people value flexibility (or rigidity), autonomy, etc. more than money - to the point where some people will pass substantial amounts of money if it means sacrificing real time with the fam.

There was a ton of push-back online when that law went into effect despite CA having a similar law already on the books and obviously other dominoes (like NYC) getting ready to fall.

It was fantastic in my last job search. Even recruiters that tried to "not talk numbers" until the end of the process I could just point to the relevant laws or just not continue on in the process. Plenty of companies were playing by the rules so no need to waste my time.
