I run a SaaS, and nothing makes money as easily as that React blog.

Essentially, you write content once, and a single email can pitch it to a whole new group of potential customers at nearly zero additional cost to you.

(of course, it took a year of blogging regularly to reach that point, but now if I write another book it gets additional sales at no additional cost to me, which feels wild compared to running a SaaS)
I've found that that's not really true for me, tbh. In theory, it absolutely makes sense that something like Ocaml would be more productive - you can completely sidestep most of the memory management stuff and just get on with writing working programs.

In practice, every time I've tried out Ocaml, I've bounced off _hard_. The standard library is very limited and filled with cruft (stdlib regexes being a notable example), so users very quickly need to start understanding the alternatives. There's little in the way of good intermediate documentation, so once you've figured out how recursion works, it's often quite hard to figure out more practical questions, like when it makes sense to switch to refs and imperative code for a problem. There's also not a lot of "practical" libraries - I wanted to write a small web service recently to organise house chores, and I figured I'd need a decent datetime library (with support for juggling timezones), some way of interacting with sqlite, and a basic web server. The web server situation was okay, but the only SQL library I could find was 80% ungoogleable sigils with minimal documentation, and I couldn't find a single datetime library that has a concept of instances that could be interpreted in different time zones.

In contrast, Rust has a clean (albeit minimal) standard library, with a lot of good pointers to well-maintained third-party libraries; it has plenty of documentation ranging from the beginner guide to the Rustonomicon; and there's a lot of stuff happening in the ecosystem that you can already start relying on. Like, if you're coming from Java or Python you might have to lower your expectations somewhat, but you can still have expectations of _something_, which is not my experience with Ocaml.

I think I need to try out F# more - my impression is that there's at least an existing C# ecosystem there which helps with a lot of the practical issues - but so far I've been really disappointed by my experiences in ML-land. There's so much I want to like - I'm really excited about the new effects work that's happening, for example - but the ecosystem as a whole just doesn't seem that usable for practical things unless you already know what you're doing, or unless you're prepared to build all the stuff you need from scratch à la Jane Street.

So actually, in practice, I find myself much more productive in Rust, despite coming from a Python/Java/JS background. The memory management stuff turns out to be pretty easy to pick up, and having a strong ecosystem means that I've generally got the tools I need at my fingertips.
I'm not too picky when it comes to chocolate chip cookies, but if someone messes up and uses baking soda instead of baking powder, that makes me sad. That's the kind of mistake a human might decide to put into big bold letters when writing up the recipe, but you are not going to get that from GPT. At least, not yet.
For files of captured video containing teletext, there is ccextractor to pull it out:

I've never tried ccextractor for pulling teletext but I use it for pulling almost any kind of closed captions.
This is a huge relief. The lack of Offscreen Documents API has been a huge hurdle for migrating to MV3 and has caused numerous headaches.

What do you mean? The author of the Twitter thread mentions four electric semi options in the thread.

>"The Right to Be Lazy reminds us that the urge to work is not always beneficial, let alone necessary. It can also be a “strange madness” consuming human lives."

To me, this is one of those things that is designed to be provocative while employing weasel words to great effect. In trying to type out a critique of it, I realize that "not always" and "let alone necessary" can be used to dismiss claims that this is anti-work. Despite the fact that it is highly critical of the "need" to for work.
If that’s true, it sounds like a strong argument to code in a language you personally like. Which is exactly what they’re doing.

I’m curious - why does all this seem to bother you so much?

Better SSR/SSG support would have been appreciated. The way I like the most is with prepass and extracting a state from the client making me not care at all what I do in my components. "It just works" which is kind of what I expect from a Vercel product
Speed doesn't kill, speed differential does.

Any road where you have a big differential between speeds by various road users is just inherently dangerous. If everyone would be doing 250km/h, it'd be safe. Same if everyone would be doing 120km/h. But when you mix 250 and 120 on the same road, it's inherently dangerous.
The optics are bad-- like this advanced civilization here on Earth decided to make a Dyson sphere of our own planet.
based on the chart, the amount of VC funding is roughly equivalent to what it was the last 3 years prior to the last. I don't see why this is such a disaster.
In general, companies _do_ care somewhat about worker convenience; poorly designed inconvenient things slow everything down. Particularly with trucking, actually, I'd have thought; I'm not sure how it is in the US, but there's an acute shortage of truckers in much of Europe (particularly post-Brexit), so employers won't necessarily want to annoy them for no good reason.
You're missing that not everyone who wants accessible content is blind and using a screen reader.
Wage labor is an imposition on people by people with power, wage labor is not a natural law or state of being. It is not unlike feudalism in that respect.
I can assure you from personal experience there are plenty of truckers that don't act that way (they are minority but a sizeable one).
Much of the power is used for keeping air clean with temperature and humidity controlled in a very tight range. More energy is used for water cooling, waste treatment and other facilities. The rest of the power is used for production tools...which when a fab is running are generally consistent users. The power usage will scale with wafer loading, but again advanced fabs like these will run at near 100% capacity for years at a time.
You also wouldn't get anything else that has been invented or understood since then. I'm pretty sure you can have the equivalent quality (and length) of life of the average 19th century person with very few hours of work in a week. In Germany, it requires zero hours, welfare here will make you live like a king compared to the 19th century -- it's only relative to today's standards that you wouldn't be rich.
the trend of having every aspect of life scrutinized for its worthiness by environmentalists is getting pretty tedious. octoberfest causes emissions, too. so do birthday parties, and weddings. are we sure those should make the cut?
Not even, though. GP mentions the NYC metro area. I wouldn't call that a "fair-weather locale" in the winter. All the snow-related complaints seem to apply here.
It has been 3 years with my Toyota and all I have paid for is new windscreen-wipers (winter ruins them). I don't see how that matters though. What matters are actual numbers from a trusted source: ADAC (German motor organization) says it costs $0,51 per kilometer to drive a Tesla Model 3. My Toyota costs $0,31. Nothing exceptional about the price on Tesla maintenance.
At the smaller end of electric trucks, here's a driver evaluation of the Rivian delivery truck made for Amazon.[1] This looks like it was designed by time and motion study people. It's optimized for a very specific job. Door control and access are all really easy as long as you have the key fob on you. The door to the package area opens and closes automatically, so when the driver is out of the vehicle, nothing is stealable. There are big screens, and they're showing the next few stops the driver is expected to make. If you take your foot off the accelerator, you come to a stop. Parking brake is automatic.

It's boring, but useful. Tesla did not go that route.

It doesn't until there are negative externalities, you know, like labor retention rates, that cause those transport costs to go back up.

Tesla might be able to sell some of these to some companies for a while, because brand recognition and Elon stans in purchasing positions. That's not really a good strategy for long term growth, and Tesla can't just will an automotive niche into existence.
I once drove from Stuttgart to Munich (230km) in 1h.

I never feard so much for my life.
i find it interesting that the videos always go over 1min 40 seconds but it really doesnt matter and nobody ever has a problem with the length of the videos. the "100s" is a promise that you take directionally but not literally. its an interesting gimmick that more people should apply in other domains.
I always wanted spotify wrapped for my Github! This is a great project.
I'm not sure you're articulating your argument very well. I get what you're after, but no, restricting freedom is not purely subjective. For example, "I can do this today, and I can't do this tomorrow", is a pretty objective evaluation. You're really making an argument about balancing interests or prioritizing some concerns over others. There's an assumption implied in your argument that you personally would consider an appeal to general safety more compelling than any appeal to fahrvergnügen, for instance. How we each weight these (prioritize them) is what's subjective. Your attack on the opposing view relies on simplifying and devaluing it. This is rhetoric to persuade but is no form of "objective truth".
Has nothing to do with Standing Wave Ratios. Darn.
The thing you're missing, and most folks in this thread are missing is... there's already a bunch of electric semi's out there available for purchase right now.

Nobody is buying them (by nobody I mean so very few...). If Pepsi really thought electric was the way to go, they would already be doing it.

Tesla's semi is going to be a major flop...

HN doesn't mind donating to Wikipedia, they dislike donating to Wikimedia. That one letter is a big difference.
Aside from what others have mentioned, the wonder is actually that there's something like Let's Encrypt itself. It was a huge lift by the LE founders/engineers/benefactors to pull it off, and they had a larger mission to make the web more secure for end-users. Document signing has no such larger mission, so any players have to do it either for money or for the lulz, which won't get to LE benefit and scale.
I just rig up a wrapper around swr to make it have the types I want. Only takes a few lines of code.
Replacing might be cheaper as well without any mounting racks or tracks.
Honestly this makes sense from a timeline perspective. Chip manufacturing and research is incredibly expensive (Intel spent 13 billion+ in 2018 on R&D, which was more than Apple that year), and Apple's jump in spending occurred shortly before M1 macs entered the scene. Obviously they have very different product lines but the switch away from x86 must have been unbelievably expensive
When I ride my motorbike it rides comfortably at about 160km/hr. For that bike it is a very comfortable speed the bike likes. If I want to rip it can do 180plus. It maxes out at 200km/hr. Even at 200 really isn’t that fast for the open highways where I live. But a huge majority of the driver population has a hard time driving at sub 80km/hr speeds so we kind of need to adjust for the lowest denominator. I think the best system would be one where speed limits change based on time of day and weather. Also perhaps drivers could take extra testing and get licensed to go faster. Some people are just more capable then others. I personally feel very comfortable at 200km/hr.
Wait so Tesla knows that it's not possible for the driver to reach out the window to hand over the paperwork necessary to get into and out of a port, or through scales, because... the truck is designed for ports. Ok then.

Canada also experimented with the Telidon system in the 1970s, which had some similarities to Teletext:

Not super surprising given the audience and the history of those debates.
Yes, they were canceled several years ago.
I suppose if we're charitable, maybe "From 2010 to 2021" is programmer style [2010, 2021), i.e., ending at 1 Jan 2021. Then all of 2021 & 2022 form "a couple of years". (The book is more or less closed on 2022. Given that my "2 day shipping" from cyber Monday took 8 days, I'm not holding my breath on "the supply chain" fixing itself prior to people giving it up for the holiday retreat.)

They may still use discrete circuitry on their high end workstations, but I'm not sure. Korg embraced all-DSP synthesis early while their Japanese competitors (Roland, Yamaha, Akai) maxed out on sample playback and high polyphony. They have always had a narrow focus on synthesis, with minor incursions into the guitar utility/space, whereas Roland has a massive product catalog of electronic instruments (but a highly proprietary ethos) and Yamaha hasn't done anything in years (a pity, as they made great hardware sequencers. Akai is a special case as they basically own the market for hip-hop and its derivatives but are also unable to break out of it. I believe their gear runs on Linux, but like the other two their hardware/software stack is heavily locked down.
Totally agreed. May be the top link change to non-lying site so not to affect all the good works of others.

>The Rust community is easily the worst thing about Rust.

Completely agree, but for a different reason:

The community and leadership is overran with woke leftist types. It's insufferable.
This truck still appears to have a passenger seat on the right side, though, despite the driver being in the middle? So presumably they'd still have to reconfigure it for RHD.
Yup - annoying. The answer seems to be always elusively fractalian; the deeper you go, the deeper it goes.
How the Turn Tables
This is an 80/20 problem if there ever was one, maybe even 95/5. In my car I really want the audio volume, heater fan speed, and wiper control to be tactile. But beyond that, I can probably deal, and even the heater fan speed might be negotiable.

In my 2003 car, the fan speed is buttons, oh well. In my 2013 it’s a paddle and I like it a lot better.

The newer car also has a knob for navigating the touchscreen, which isn’t perfect but is way better than touching a screen. The older car has no touchscreen and I like that better.

I didn’t rtfa because it’s a Twitter thread, and I didn’t see any comments on this in the 250 or so below. What else really needs to be a tactile control on a truck?

(Edited for clarification. I said “touch-based” when I should have used “tactile”.)
It is, but generally reasonableness comes with useful legal context to help you understand what it means.

In the context of GDPR? I was left guessing what a regulator in Brussels might consider reasonable when their path to career advancement might run through my employer. Coupled with being uncertain what various national regulators (or empowered industry bodies) might add in, as they were allowed to do so until quite literally the last second. It left a person with no good way of judging what might be considered reasonable, only nervous paranoia.

It was a distinctly unpleasant experience and one I was left thinking was both anticipated and avoidable.
I’m usually the one in the fast lane. If the driver of the slower car knows what the indicator is for, neither of us has any issues. You see, I’m an outlier. Speeding a bmw, using indicators and keeping the distance. In a region where every second person drives on my bumper and has no idea what a mirror or indicator is for.

I’m dying on this hill.
Yeah Streamlit is incredible. I don’t think it’s trying to be a Web app framework. It’s such an easy way for me to deploy my data visualization.
You frame it as if he didn't have a highly privileged background. He was the son of a coffee plantation owner.
About half of U.S. truckers own thier own rigs, europe has fewer owner-operators. Do you want to start by throwing out half the domestic market?
As a counterpoint, check out the review of the Amazon truck by Rivian by a delivery worker, that was posted here on HN just this week. It turned out being a good experience for the driver. If UX issues are big enough that they can potentially affect productivity, then corp headquarters will care.
Top Holiday Toys by Year
I think what you mean to ask is whether the concern is more or less important to [some audience] than the pro-limit concerns. For this issue, there are rational arguments on both sides, but which side one finds more compelling isn't a criticism of whether it's more rational so much as being a reflection of what one prioritizes/fears.
What about the elephants?
"Also, even those small tablets are annoying as hell at night, as even if you turn them black, they still tend to glow."

Tablet screens in cars and trucks is a staggering thing to me. Just reeks of design for the sake of impressing people and getting sales, with poor judgement of usability.

Give me a basic physical dial or switch any day. Don't make me look away from the road. Allow me to use muscle memory and get physical feedback.

What a nightmare path this has gone down.

You assume the presence of electric power.

My acquaintances in Ukraine report using various batteries, and converting UPS devices to run on larger batteries, car batteries, etc. Electric power is now intermittent there, even in the capital, because Russian strikes are especially targeted to destroy the electric infrastructure.
Pepsi probably bought their delivery slot for the publicity more than the trucks being practical. It isn't like they got the first delivery slot by finding a golden ticket in a chocolate bar.
I always say: "the best news is at least a week old".

"This thing happened" is often not all that interesting or insightful.

Why and how "this thing" happened with all the appropriate context is much more interesting, but that kind of analysis often taken times, so ... the best news is at least a week old.
Just seems like bad practice for them to not scream test this first. Disable the databases for 48 hours, enable them for a week, then delete them. That would give people the same alerts as randomly deleting it but allow them to gracefully recover.
You can't with Apple Silicon. It's shameful in my opinion. You still can load a core dump or view the state after a NMI but you can't run the kernel under a debugger.
It's hard to find the results. How much of this is paying for feature bloat?
I mean I don't want to speak for PG, so I'll just speak for myself.

The thing I'm talking about (value of employees) isn't really about founders at all. I know that society likes to hate rich people or whatever, and you seem focused on those rich founders.

The point is really about how the Very Important Workers can be readily replaced by automations, which means they weren't Very Important. The company value was not derived from them. That's the end of the statement.

Who deserves the value generated by the founder's idea/work/risk? That's a matter of opinion. The law already prescribes the current situation in a technical sense, so you're clearly talking about a moral sense. Morals vary by person. Your debate won't be settled anytime this century IMO.
These sorts of posts always show up anywhere that somebody posts anything remotely critical of a Tesla product. They could make a combination trash compactor-bassinet that randomly switches modes and somebody would come out of the woodwork and post “People don’t realize the value in maximizing functionality in small spaces”
Disney Plus with ads isn’t a good deal
The marginal cost to keep a large-ish spot instance running 99% of the time is dirt cheap (eg $400/mo to keep one extra c7g.8xlarge running).

If you're paying for an engineering team, that's a rounding error.
Innovation doesn't require 40 hour work weeks or labor relations that divorce workers from the fruit of their own labor and the democratic decision making that's afforded to owners, but not workers. It's not a dichotomy.
> They're part of the teams taking down human trafficking rings, violent gangs involved in the drugs trade, terrorist cells, and suchlike.

They're part of the teams surveilling and even outright harassing civilians on mere suspicion of tangential connection to crime - the kind of polie work that makes people's lives vulnerable in the first place.

It shouldn't be surprising that not everyone shares your enthusiasm for the state's goons, no matter how "cool" their goonery-enabling gadgets might be.

My expectation is that Teslas real play with the Semi is a long term plan for self driving trucks.

Then Tesla has a lot of catching up to do.

Other companies have been running driverless big rigs between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio for at least two years.
"Fatalities per 1,000 kilometers of motorway"

That doesn't seem like a very good metric to me. There's no way there's any single number that can properly compare driving deaths between countries, but shouldn't this at least be normalized to account for number of drivers? Like what if Finland just has a lot of long, empty roads? Also doesn't there need to be a comparison within the German data on deaths on roads with and without speed limits?
Oh my gosh! Payola and corruption in crypto? Say it ain't so.

I'd be more suprised to find some small part of cryptoland that isn't influenced by money.
