I think it could make even more sense in places like Arizona: fewer clouds, trees, and tall buildings.

Kind of interesting to ponder that we might soon have car SKUs that are much more regionally localized: a car that works great in CA or AZ, but is entirely impractical for the midwest. (However, I suppose that describes 'convertibles' pretty well)
People like me learned how to spot car models, because as the parent says, they looked mostly similar. So parking lot images get shared in places where older folks can test their knowledge.

What a load of garbage.. it's not problem of opensource, it's his problem of not understanding how to monetize things.
OpenCore model destroying opensource world already, asking people to pay because they starred your repo is super weird.
Think about this, how many opensource libs you have used in your project and are you going to pay for those all?

Btw if you wanna make money with opensource, check how FastAPI doing it.
I'm afraid you have drunk the kool aid. Self-driving cars are an idea as old as the car itself, and many companies are much further along than Tesla who are stuck on their "no LIDAR" stance when LIDAR is rapidly becoming cheaper and more available. Almost ironic from the company that bet on lithium batteries for cars.
The robots are a demo gag (much like the smart summon, or the cybertruck, or the semi, or ..).
The "solar tiles" are a fire hazard and the Tesla solar business a total shambles, which makes sense since it was just a nepotistic bailout of Solarcity.
Hyperloop is dead and so is the Boring company.
This is conflating two things: the granularity of system utilities and the granularity of packages. Those are not the same thing. GNU core-utils provides 24 separate utilities into a single package. Add in sed, grep, and bash, which has built-ins providing virtually everything else, and you're pretty close to full POSIX with only four packages, thus four dependencies.

At the language level rather than system utilities, think of something like boost. You install one dependency, and you get hundreds of individual libraries, each of which does only one thing and one thing well, and you can link only what you need into your own program. UNIX philosophy followed, without turning your dependency tree into combinatorial explosion.
What is this magical wealth you speak of? Who is ensuring it, who is guarding it? It’s a game that people play until they feel it gives them a reasonable chance to live. Once that’s gone all bets are off and your magical numbers on a computer don’t mean much.
JDK-8180450 is probably affecting my performance as well. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8180450

Hopefully with a client as large as this, it gets addressed.
So your argument is there is just a really long lag?

Because money is relatively tight again and we are still seeing inflation.

OR are there other factors potentially at play?
Prices around here have stayed the same or gone up a bit, but the sales have dried up. You could almost always get Coke on sale at the grocery store for half the "list price" now that's much rarer.
I wasn't going to read that but I did. I kind of agree, but it's "social media" that's dying not the internet.

The social media has gone absolutely toxic in an frantic attempt to maximize revenue per user.
I can walk into Walmart, FYE or Hot Topic and walk out with Hatsune Miku merchandise. You can't even say that for many popular anime franchises (only stuff like Naruto or Dragonball that's been popular for decades). I've even been to small fan run projection concerts.

Vocaloid music has a huge following in the US. It's just a subculture thing and not part of the mainstream sphere...which is a good thing.
Options are zero-sum in the same that insurance companies are
The docs on that page explicitly say you just have to provide a different parameter (basically, to force it to use a thread-like instead of select-like approach).

The docs on that page also point you to a different task library which does what I'd expect:

"If the work is appropriate for concurrency and parallelism, also consider using the Task Parallel Library."

I checked those docs and that is a framework that makes sense.
Ask HN: When is a node based GUI a better choice than code?
Blender is an excellent example of a powerful node based system.
However, there are some applications where actual code is the better choice, but when?
Do you think that web development, for example, should move towards using guis to integrate APIs?
It seems to me like a lot of web development is just making glue code between 3rd party services.
> Is Bob Dylan a big name? Tom Waits? Coldplay?

Tom Waits and Coldplay (or specifically, their mixing engineers) have gone on the record saying they use Melodyne in their marketing brochures.

Again, it is literally impossible for a human to know if pitch correction was used on a song. But if it's a song that was released after 2010 and mixed by an engineer, they used pitch correction, guaranteed.

I quite like it.

It has a progressive feeling that reminds me of the Open University, and harks back to the idealistic expansion of British higher education in the ‘60s.
We'll see, my bet is that nothing catastrophic will happen as a result of layoffs and hiring freeze at Twitter.
> A career waiter in a major American city can make over 100k,

Yeah, but this is counter service we are talking about. The person making your latte is not making $100k/year. When I worked at a coffee place ~20 years ago, tips were about $1/hour per employee and that was like 10% of my income. Certainly wages and presumably tips are higher now, but these jobs still dont pay much over minimum wage.
Not particularly fond of Zero Hedge, but "Scam Bankrupt Fraud" is kind of catchy.
> The employee Slack message said the quick release of products and changes without effective security reviews was “extremely dangerous” for users.

> It said engineers would have to take on the burden of certifying that the products complied with FTC agreements, putting them at substantial personal legal risk.

> The meltdown of the security leadership is especially fraught because an FTC audit was expected by January, according to two people familiar with the schedule.

Knowing how things have been handled so far, as a software engineer I sure as hell would not be on any kind of personal legal hook for Twitter right now. Musk IMO would throw people under the bus without a thought if things get dicey with the FTC.
What is needing then, is adding the "type" attribute in <plaintext> command, that browsers with their own implementation can optionally use it instead in order to render with the user's settings if desired.

However, that still forces you to serve HTML, so it is not good. My idea is adding a "Interpreter" response header, which indicates which files can be used to render files (documents, audio, video, pictures, etc) that the client implementation does not understand already. The end user can also specify their own overrides, if desired.
> Vendor lock-in seems to be similar - you use some middleware, you're locked in.

Is there that much difference between building your infrastructure in DynamoDB vs using IBM DB/2? To me, they seem to create similar levels of "lock in" and create an equal barrier to switching out to a new system... and if you want your data, you're going to dump it, reformat it, and start over.

Or am I misunderstanding your point?
We already have HTML

What we have done to it it's a different matter.

Btw, which flavor of Markdown?

"and if I want to do..?"™ Don't we'll end up with an HTML without angle brackets?
The argument is that if you disqualify everything for not having $FEATURE, where $FEATURE varies from person to person, you have also essentially disqualified markdown entirely. As the saying goes, everyone uses only 10% of Microsoft Word, but everyone uses a different 10% of Microsoft Word. Much the same thing applies to this case for much the same reasons. If your standard is going to be "I want everything in any variant of Markdown ever and also any plugin ever", you will end up with something that is just as complicated as HTML, only different this time. (Possibly even more complicated than HTML.) CommonMark is a decent solution to "I want to use Markdown", if you're willing to take the simplification.

Note in this case I don't think there's anything wrong with refusing the simplification. It's just that if that is your set of your requirements, you've disqualified Markdown entirely. Personally, I think that is the state of the situation; Markdown can't do this. Markdown and all of its family members and close friends intrinsically work by reducing the problem. If you refuse to reduce the problem, you've refused to use Markdown. That is not a moral judgment; that's an engineering judgment. From the position the major browsers operate in, they will never attain anywhere near enough agreement on this to ever implement it without it simply becoming another monster of its own as everybody piles in with all their favorite extensions.

I have some websites that run with Hugo, which is in principle based on Markdown, but if necessary you can have raw HTML pages or other things too. This is actually the ideal; use Markdown when it makes sense, use other things when it doesn't, and thus, neither of those two things has to carry the burdens of the other side. This is the real and best solution, honestly, and it also has the advantage that it's here now. Use whatever flavor you want, where ever you want, whenever you want, today. I'm doing this and I don't see any advantage to trying to convince the browser to do this. I have a deploy step regardless of what I do, so it's no skin off my nose whether that step deploys my pages raw or there's a render step in addition to the deploy.

I'm using Render.com's custom domain features, which issues TLS certificates and manages them using LetsEncrypt!

Two other things that have been nifty are:

I also use a couple fun technologies for custom domains:

- Entri [1] a new product that's like Plaid for domains. So, you can normally get the domain set up without copying records into the registrar.

- If you don't have a domain - I use Google Domains Express Checkout API [2], which lets you directly purchase a new domain and automatically connect it to Postcard, also without copying records into the registrar.

Because Amazon chooses that to make a point.

Notice how it's totally fine to buy goods in the Amazon app? You think that Amazon couldn't have used their leverage to make the same case for Kindle if they thought it was worth it?

I'm not saying there is no value to owning a platform, it's just not as extreme as people make it out to be.
"Performance" is too wide a term, asyncio does not improve performance in the most widely understood interoperation, "speed". Talking about performance benefits of asyncio causes people to misunderstand where it is best used.

"Scalability" is a better word to use when talking about asyncio. Along with describing complex concurrent programming such as for a GUI, where the added syntactical complexity if outweighed by the reduced boilerplate of traditional GUI programming.
In recent years I've noticed an acute shift to brutalism, minimalism and a loss of individuality in all facets of life.

Is there really evidence of this? Those stylistic developments are 100+ old and have been part of everyday life for much of the last century. There's definitely been a much more recent uptick of commentary that's uncomfortably (and occasionally deliberately) close to some classic complaints about 'degenerate art'.
It's the only example I know. do you know any other example?
Is there a book or resource you would recommend then?
Would love to see a HN for aviation startups.

Unfortunately most every time I see an aviation startup, it’s the same silly hot garbage. If I see one more multicopter based autonomous air taxi service, or magical supersonic transport for savage good boys pitched, I’m gonna scream.

(Context - 20+ years experience in product development engineering and new/derivative product launch at a large airframe manufacturer.)

Anyone else feel like this is such a dumb way for the general public to track inflation. Like, a simple line chart with the X axis being time and the Y axis being the price of a basket of goods would be so much clearer
Warren Buffet puts it this way: "be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful". So, honestly, it's a very reasonable question.

I personally wouldn't touch it, but I'm at least curious to hear the heterodox argument. Somebody out there is still buying it at $3, I wonder why.
Who is Apple selling your data to for $12 billion?
Hmm, sites shouldn't be slow! Most Postcard pages can get a score of 100 on Google's pagespeed test. I do this through a mix of caching and image optimizations.

What are you seeing that's slow? I'd love to dig into it!
Peek-and-do-more is compatible with double-blindness, as long as the peeker-and-decider is different from the dispenser and patient.

Interesting point. Cargo and fuel should be placed on the far sides. Passengers towards the center, perhaps on two levels. Routes could be adjusted to decrease typical bank angles.

Makes me wonder if we'll have cargo-only planes that converge on a different optimum. In full autonomous mode, comfort is not a factor and reliability can also be relaxed. Of course, we'd lose the flexibility of being able to convert the plane for passenger service.

While I believe you, and that the currently state is too messy, nevertheless it is possible for some implementations to be more limited or to have options for the user to disable some features if desired.

It is true, there are other protocols and other file formats they are good for different purposes, and you should not try to use one for everything. (In my opinion, this is true of Unicode as well; it is messy and doesn't work well to use Unicode for everything, either, nor HTML or HTTPS for everything, or cell phones for everything, or the government for everything, etc.)

It would also be possible to serve text/gemini files with HTTP too, and I also have modified my browser to be able to display them (also local files too), this is not common.
This is a potential contributor to inflation, but it wasn't part of the student loan forgiveness bill, and instead supports the proposition that inflation is mostly related to COVID-19 measures, which include this forbearance.
it's not a distribution model either, you can distribute binaries the same way, and they are not open source unless they're GPL, copyleft, etc.

It's a source code license.
A bigger problem with blended wing designs is actually for the people on the peripheral. When the plane banks, passengers further from the axis of rotation will feel a more significant change in their altitude. You literally feel like you're "falling", as the plane banks to your side.

This also applies to existing aircraft, but the amount you drop/rise is limited by the your distance from the axis of rotation, which is normally not very far. In blended wing designs, the distance could be considerably greater, making this sensation much more intense.

The workaround for this would be to simply use shallower bank angles, but I suspect that would require some pretty major changes to navigation rules, as it would drastically increase the turn radius.
Fond memories of this tag. Like the time during a lab practical I typo'd the closing tag on one of these which caused 100% of the page contents to scroll off the screen...and never come back.

It seems like a communication issue. The mod said that the post was removed for being off-topic - when it was clearly removed for having a misleading title.

"Removed for being off-topic" would imply that no other posts about the language would be accepted - it is understandable that this caused a bit of anger in the author.

"Removed for having a misleading title" would imply that only the misleading title is offending - and that other posts would be accepted, as long as they didn't have a misleading title. I'm sure if the mod explicitly said this, it wouldn't cause this much of a reaction.
I would even go further and say that the AI talking to an AI phenomenon will lead to AIs replacing APIs as we know them currently. We had to develop APIs to define how products can talk together. But in the near future, we may just need to fine-tune the latest AI model to handle that. We could even imagine training the model to speak HTTP or OpenREST.

Regarding society, I am worried about people consuming content generated by an AI just for them. We have seen how recommended content polarises political views, I can only see it becoming worse. Imagine Russian propaganda agencies powered by AI-generated content, they will just have to type: "A young black man mugging an old white lady" or whatever would be the most triggering.

> The few cases where humans interact will, like dialing 911, only be done on an emergency basis, .

To be honest, seeing the current trend of public services funding, I would rather put this service at the very top of the list of services that will be automated.
There is value in art done honestly, "bad" or not. And neither autotune nor melodyne have intrinsic characteristics that affect either honesty (unless you extend that to all forms of audio engineering that changes the voice) nor quality.

Put frankly: your take is a small one. It's one that weakens the idea of art, and, no less importantly, is cruel and sabotaging to people. You should change your mind, but you're kind of glorifying in that cruelty and that smallness throughout this thread (which is gross!) so I will not be holding my breath for it.

Interesting. Doesn't France have a legal system that leans more towards Civil Law than Common Law? So how much legal validity does this judgement have?
> I would never want to be tasked with e2e browser automation again

This is how I felt before I started using Cypress. You need a tool that helps you rather than being a drag on you, and you need to commit some time to it. It's helped me learn a lot of coding I didn't otherwise know. Writing the test itself is usually not "real coding" but writing helper methods and learning how to organize your code certainly is. The trick to making it all work is making your tests not flaky. They need to pass 99% of the time. Now we have a few hundred long end-to-end tests and maybe 2 of them are flaky at any given time. They are easy to fix when they break, and they uncover important bugs on a regular basis.

Granted, I'm in the business of testing. Anything that isn't automated I have to do manually. And I have to represent a real user, so simple API tests are not going to cut it, and I have an incentive to automate the entire end-to-end process with multiple variations. But if you want to do short API tests you can certainly do that, and Cypress is actually a nice tool for that too.
They answer is yes, but only in some cases:

- Getting warned about app size over cellular, which in iOS happens at 200MB.

- In geographies where cellular data is expensive, slow or intermittent.

- At the margin when you have many millions of users. The data bears out that it does have a small but measurable impact.
Isn't this a fundamental problem with consequentialism? If you can convince yourself of a serious enough consequence, you can do whatever you want. Steal, hurt, kill. As long as your actions lead to a .000001% chance of preventing Skynet from taking over in the year 50000 AD, any means justify those ends.

How is that something that can be seriously engaged with? Other than trying to talk some sense into these people about limiting their EA calculations to a reasonably observable time-space continuum?

>Tom Waits and Coldplay (or specifically, their mixing engineers) have gone on the record saying they use Melodyne in their marketing brochures.

Not exactly. A guy who worked with them said it. They also have worked with dozens of others which would be where they used it. Also Waits recorded for 25+ years before Autotune (much less Melodyne) was even a thing.
Yeah, I was surprised to read nothing in her article about the HP archives about how much of the earliest stuff was burned in the Tubbs fire.

> Web frameworks are big enough that even if the API is successful, the UI may be wrong. It’s extremely useful to have good enough UI tests that the dev himself can see what is failing.

This is absolutely true. Who cares if the JSON payload is correct if the page is wrong?
There's a 200 MB size threshold where users on cellular connections get prompted if they're sure they want to download it, so if this pushes an app over 200 MB I would assume yes some users will bounce off of that.

And in some places 200 MB can still be a big deal, the whole world isn't on 20 GB data plans.
It's possible to stop a trial because the new drug is much more effective than the old drug. It's also possible to stop a trial because the new drug's significantly worse than the old. We've done both.
