Author here. Yes, we stuck with it and evolved the concept into Unpoly 2 and soon Unpoly 3:

http://triskweline.de/unpoly3-slides/

I'd say 95% of the apps we build are now based on Unpoly, the rest on React.

We now believe SPAs are not a good default for the type of apps we're building. We're still reaching for SPAs when requirements demand high-frequency user input and optimistic rendering, e.g. for a chat or online game.

YMMV!

just as a heads up, the blizzard launcher works fine. there was a short period it didn't due to some bug, that they fixed on their end for the Linux community.

I play wow, ow2 and such just fine from the launcher. so give it a try again if you've been avoiding it.
My personal static site has a custom implementation of dispatch and receipt of Webmentions using netlify functions. I’m sure there are many more folk quietly coming up with their own ways to do it as well.

My impression is that in social science, this happens when the results are "wrong". Maybe compounding the replication crisis if only the "right" results get published but "right" was actually wrong.

> However a $70k car generally has a much better set of class leading accident avoidance & safety features than a $25k car which will generally be minimum legally required for compliance.

That’s empirically false. Toyota and Subaru both make 25k cars with vastly better active driver assistance features than Tesla, as shown by every independent test that’s ever been done.

People who obsess over how health care is delivered - Public, Private or whatever - should really take this to heart. The things that really make a difference to populations (as opposed to individuals) - don't over eat, don't smoke, drink moderately, get some exercise, get vaccinated - are pretty much all (except for the last one) outside the purview of doctors, nurses and hospitals. A Dr. will always tell you about those items but they have no chance of getting you to do any of that.

The people in this thread saying we should have walkable communities are being unrealistic but I'll concede that that what they're saying is better then any idea I have.
> It’s high quality software that is being pushed well past its intended use case. Maybe it will work out fine but rqlite is taking something designed as an on disk file format for one program and trying to use it as a network distributed concurrent database system. It would be surprising if they didn’t expose bugs in SQLite.

Expensify is pushing millions of queries/sec by layering Bedrockdb over top of SQLite. You can go a long way and do amazing, unexpected things with a very solid foundation.

The work the police do has almost nothing to do with "having a general location of a crime." In a boring, trivial sense there is probably always a crime of some sort being committed in every large apartment building. In general, unless the stolen item is unique or special in some way, going in "to get it" will almost always be the most expensive option. People could be hurt, the police could get the wrong person, the item could be damaged, etc. Also you would probably not get your phone back! It would be evidence of a crime and in custody for a long time.

I have a lot of critiques of the police, but I really don't think we have put them in a good position to retrieve stolen property AND I think trying to retrieve stolen property is generally a really inefficient way to make victims of crime whole.
I really enjoyed the recent adaptation of the Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston.
Key Crucial Email Metrics to Track and Optimize
It’s more about the effort I think than the style. Well fitted suits and business casual looks good, but so does a well fitted shirt and jeans. On the flip side, a poorly fitted suit looks only marginally less sloppy than poorly fitted hacker wear. Comp-sci types who don’t put effort into their wardrobes don’t really look any better in business casual, at least in my experience from working in places where such clothes were required.
Windows is in the business of selling software to business clients (And slowly migrating to being a cloud provider business).

The only reason Windows happens to have 'home' editions and pervasive software in schools is to perpetuate the 'familiarity' argument when Businesses are doing procurement.
Just so we're clear: I'm saying my personal experience extends only as far as a single org of NCC's size, and then a variety of boutique-y firms of ~Matasano's size. I have no experience with Deloitte or PwC. I'm not calling your friend's firm a boutique; it's clearly not.
The point was more about deliberately withholding credit as a form of punishment. That many less deliberate instances of this would (and in Germany, do) occur even if such a legal obligation was in place is clear, it's just a matter of them being actionable.
No Equality Among Liquors in the Tax Code
Hmm, if I'm going to be honest, most of what you were saying kind of flew over my head.

I think I understand the jist of what you mean, and I can agree that, if the...I don't know what the right word would be, the "meaning and essence"(...?) of the thing is more "Here's a philosophical concept" rather than "Here's an A to B story" then I can see why it would be seen as more subjective. I suppose someone could judge the logic of a philosophical concept, but that's way, way outside my depth. :)
Agreed. He is just placing observations of real phenomena into a model. It's a bit like with economics. Prices "signal" all sorts of things that the entity setting the prices may not well be aware of.

I had a similar rosy view of the Japanese nuclear industry in 2010. After the Fukushima accident in 2011, I found that it would have been prevented if the Fukushima plant had followed regulations as strict as the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires, or if it had just built protections like the nearby Onagawa plant had built [1]. With further digging, I found that Japan had a rather poor nuclear safety culture before Fukushima too [2] [3]. I had even read about the 1999 criticality accident around the time it happened but downplayed its significance in my mind. Due to a combination of excellent consumer products exported from Japan and positive cultural stereotypes circulating in the US about Japanese attention to rules and quality, I incorrectly discounted prior evidence of defective nuclear safety culture in Japan.

With hindsight I also think that language barriers play a role in leaning on stereotypes. When companies with English-speaking employees have internal problems that leadership is ignoring, I can read complaints from lower level employees (anonymous or otherwise) posted online. But I don't know where Japanese power plant workers hang out online. Even if I did I wouldn't be able to understand what they're writing. So my views get colored more by whatever makes it into English-language media, which may be less representative.

> Not true. We understand the causes of inflation.

I assume you are talking about the monetary theory of inflation, MV=PY? I've never met an economist that thinks it tells the whole story. John Cochrane(a world class economist) is in the process of writing a new book that covers inflation, and he doesn't think he has all the answers.

You and the rest of the "we" in your sentence needs to publish some academic papers informing the rest of us, as we clearly didn't get the memo.

> The reasons Social Security doesn’t lead to rampant inflation is because Social Security is funded by the working age residents

It's just a different form of a tax, perhaps it's sold to the people differently enough that they think of it the way you think of it, but it doesn't change the economics any. Taxes pay for it just like taxes would pay for a UBI.

The good news is that most of the population lives in corridors that would make sense.

The I-5 coast and everything west of I-35 represents most of the US population. In particular, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York form a triangle roughly 700 miles on each side. This is roughly the distance between Beijing and Shanghai, or Tokyo to Fukuoka, both of which see high speed trains regularly making the full journey.
> Then, let's presume Apple prices the iPad Pro to reflect a one time purchase. That is, the majority won't buy the Magic Keyboard (or that some already do).

I’d love to know the numbers on this. I would think that iPad Pro users are more likely to be buying the Magic Keyboard than other iPad users as they’re presumably using the device for actual work rather than just entertainment purposes where an Air would suffice. Just from having the Magic Keyboard a single day the iPad is making a lot more sense as a device to me. Besides being able to type properly, using cmd + tab for app switching and globe + ctrl + left/right arrow to multitask makes it way more productive than the palava involved when trying to do the same via the touch screen.

The article is not exactly about what some commenters think it is. These quotes summarize the thesis a little bit:

> This is called the End-to-End (E2E) principle: a network is E2E if it lets anyone receive any message from anyone else, without a third party intervening. It's a straightforward idea, though the spam wars brought in an important modification: the message should be consensual (DoS attacks, spam, etc don't count).

> The degradation of the internet into "five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four" (h/t Tom Eastman) meant the end of end-to-end. If you're a Youtuber, Tiktoker, tweeter, or Facebooker, the fact that someone explicitly subscribed to your feed does not mean that they will, in fact, see your feed.
I'm curious what the difference is between a free text editor is and a free browser included with the OS. Neither are functions of the operating system. Both have other companies providing such functionality.
And there are other codecs that compress similarly to JPEG XL that also support other features like animation. So, again, why would I use JPEG XL?

But anyway, this conversation was helpful. I guess there aren't really many reasons to use JPEG XL.
They are also a sort of first edition, and equally old. It is odd that they are worthless. There probably is an opportunity awaiting the person who formalizes third-shift first editions.
I didn't realize the article was from 2020.

Anyway, it is true this website is state owned and the other articles have heavy propaganda vibes.

They conclude there is no link from current data.

Using your logic you could blame any new reported medical condition on COVID.

The reality is that with such a huge vaccine rollout all over the world, there should be data by now.

There are also things that happened during the covid outbreak not related to the disease itself, such as more stress, people were in online meetings more, sharing workspaces at home which could have caused an increase in headphones usage, etc, etc.

> that's a "known thing."

Please show me the data! Because I looked and its not there.
Let's take a step back from the signalling perspective and recognize that hobbies (expensive or not) are a lot more fun than watches, which provide almost nothing but status. The same goes for remodeling, which is an extended form of decoration and also a hobby for some people.

Ask HN: Parents: Best screen-time limiting software?
Recently I set my nine year old up with an old Linux desktop as his first real computer. Of course he is set up in the living room, no headphones, and with a kids Google account that I can fully monitor.

Right now a pain point is trying to set time limits on websites (like youtubekids or lego.com) because although I don't object to them per se, I also don't want him to spend hours browsing the lego website, watching videos, etc.

On iOS devices there are good tools that allow granular level time blocking of websites, apps, etc. Does anyone know of any tools that allow even basic password-protected time blocking on desktop browsers, or a cross-platform (iOS/Linux) time limiter?
I recognize the ambiguity. I tend to think in terms of the result; so, in vim, I do vertical splitting because I want that result where the cleaving line runs vertically.
Exceptions are much better, especially checked ones (which are analogous to Rust-style result types).
I just don't have a mac, that's really the only issue here. I went out of my way years ago to try and wrap my head around itunes, all the (too many) things it does etc. They mess that up a bit with updates (not as bad as windows) but it isn't terrible once you realize it's a whole bunch of apps rolled up into one. It doesn't do any of them really great but it's just a gateway to my devices so it isn't horrible.
I'm using it right now, so it's just closed to new users.
I’m pretty sure it’s just down… this happened a few days ago too.

This occurs because most science is not the "the frontiers of modern physics". But even then, falsification in the frontiers of modern physics is still a useful tool.
Lots of grifters here recently posting about their ChatGPT SaaS now realising that it is now broken because OpenAI closed and locked it down.

A reminder that as long as the model is not free and open source and is gatekept and under OpenAI's control; ChatGPT will not take off like how Stable Diffusion did. It also makes no sense to build an entire startup on someone else's API in the long run.
Alarmist.
I am so hoping for a CSS-only (or at least CSS-mostly) library to come along, especially one that is fairly complete, designed for the long term, and usable for (boring) large applications and data-dense tables. I do not need a full JavaScript "framework", I have a React app (in ClojureScript) and I'm fine, thank you.

I've been living with Semantic UI which got many things right, but has been abandoned for quite a while now.

Most things that capture the crowd attention are humongous piles of JavaScript with a bazillion dependencies, that will likely be out of fashion in a year or two.
What purpose is this? What happens when your watch signals that you belong to the correct crowd?
To be clear, I wasn't telling GP to go and write production systems in V. Even though V has stabilized a lot by now, it's still a pre-v1.0 language and with that it carries potential risks.

I suggested to GP to take a look at V, though, because V has a Go-like syntax + it has everything GP is looking for.
>Does anyone else think this is a little crazy?

Because you included the price of Magic Keyboard, which is not part of iPad Pro.

It's certainly much easier for me to write up the solution to a problem after I've spent some time thinking about it, the requirements, and edge cases in my head if I'm familiar enough with the language, frameworks, and codebase. Sometimes the code can just kind of fall into place.

What you just wrote had a few mistakes on the order of a gender error, and several worse, but I understood you just fine. What matters is that you were able to communicate with me, in my native language; and I'm grateful to you for making the effort. There was no pain involved on my part.
Thanks.

I said yes to every single person who requested to be on the show. The hard part for this style of podcast is finding a constant stream of guests. Often times you have no idea how a person is going to react on a call until you're already in the call and recording the show. In every episode we jumped on a call, spent a few minutes saying hello and went straight into it.

I went with my gut in that anyone volunteering to be on the show will be comfortable having a free form conversation. None of it is scripted but I do usually have a couple of bullet points in front of me to cover a range of general topics.

But, I get where you're coming from and I'm like that too. I'm for sure going to gravitate towards a more engaging host / guest if I had an option choosing between A and B. It's really hard to pull this off because if you only have guests on the show who have a public presence on the podcast / interview / YouTube / etc. scene it'll be much more difficult to find guests as a side project. You may also lose out on some really cool stories. In one episode a couple of guys built and shipped a custom hardware device to remote African villages to help make email more accessible.
Which is the exact same phenomenon with the signals reversed.
Examples! Please!
You'll meet suit-wearing people, business casual people, and pizza-stained-hoodie people. Some will be conventionally attractive, some not. Some old, some young, some male, some female, some of one race, some another. Some will be skilled, diligent, and productive, some will be well-spoken and good communicators, some will be honest, some will be punctual... some will be not.

Some of those things are choices that matter and should impact your respect for someone else. Some are not, do not, and should not.

Personally, as a controls engineer who frequents messy manufacturing facilities, dressing in a suit gets in the way of getting work done. It subtly conveys "I'm too important to get my hands dirty, I'll leave the grunt work to the grunts." That kind of unwillingness to do whatever's required to get the job done is a point against those folks in my circles. I do understand that people who come to work in a suit may have different struggles vying for status and trying to send the right social signals in conference rooms, and I don't envy them those tasks - but please don't think less of me as a human because of what I choose to wear.
UK wholesale day-ahead electricity prices surge to a record high
Where can one learn more about this technique of equating bits to pieces of information? I get that it's used in various contexts like cryptography, randomness, compression, games of Guess Who, etc. but basically just nod in fake agreement when someone formally describes a system this way. Like what first principles did you use to make this statement:

It takes 33 bits to pick out one human from everyone alive

Is it basically just 2^33 > ~8 billion humans, therefore that's the minimum information context to identify a single individual? But then what counts as an information bit - any valid Yes/No question? And how do you calculate the bit value of a piece of info (i.e. 3 bits for the knowledge of playing chess)?

Read books.

East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck, for example. Or collections of Sherlock Holmes stories. Or Asimov's Foundation series (skip the last couple of books!). Or Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. Or Parliament of Whores by P.J. O'Rourke.

Or go through lists of famous opening lines of novels and maybe pick up a novel that you really like the beginning of ("It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife", "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times [...]", "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen", etc.).

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as the writing is good and you like reading it.

(And don't bother looking everything up. It shouldn't be necessary and it makes the reading process dull.)

Another option is to watch TV.

Watch something you never used to watch before, such as Grand Designs or Would I Lie To You (start with the clip "I accidentally bought a horse" on the "WILTY? Nope!" channel as it has fantastic subtitles... which you WILL need). Or maybe A Bit of Fry & Laurie, for example the sketches about language and the sketch with the pretentious tourists (it's on youtube as "A Bit of Fry and Laurie S02E04 Czech"). Or Jimmy Carr hosting I Literally Just Told You (season 1 episode 2 -- the others are not as good). Or Carr hosting The Big Fat Quiz of the Year/Decade/etc or 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

A third option is radio/podcasts.

The Unbelievable Truth (hosted by David Mitchell), for example. Or In Our Time (hosted by Melvyn Bragg) -- start with some of the older ones as Bragg is no longer as sharp or as clear in his speech as he used to be just five years ago.
