Totally killed the Taskbar. Funny that they’ve gradually been transforming the best part of Windows UI into the worst part of MacOS UI.
Recycling is pretty much a scam, the first step of reduce-reuse-recycle is “reduce”.

One commenter said this legislation doesn’t make sense because they get a new phone every three years.

Even if they do, it would reduce demand if the phone continued to have parts and software for someone else to use.
actually, they are totally for different use right? nocodb cant be a true airtable alternative as its design is for database manipulation
That’s a novel interpretation of the First Amendment.
Yep when I was rewriting the MVP at my current place I looked into them all and decided that context + hooks (and a server side pass for first paint) was all we needed. It was hairy at first keeping things in store etc but we wrote some lib functions that we haven’t had to touch since.

Redux is nice, but it’s be nice to have a very minimal framework for adding a global and local states via hooks and syncing their data structures to the indexed db
Modern synthetic oils are plenty viscous at subzero temperatures. Warming your engine isn’t necessary in a modern vehicle beyond taking it easy for the first 5-10 min of driving.

(Nor will it appreciably decrease your engine’s lifespan.)
Library authors can make their modules initialize lazily. It's additional code complexity, but it's probably worth it in certain cases. At one point, I was on a team developing a complex extension module that would take several seconds to import since it produced a gigantic shared lib. Sure, that probably could've been made more modular, but lazy initialization was easier.

It is important to recontextuilize harassers. They are typically parasites on the organization, destroying others by stealing their work and eliminating others from the work force.

Undoubtedly he came off as clever, but being a harasser means that his achievements were outweighed by the benefits.
> high cost of labour / history of problematic industrial relations

High “cost” would be much less of an issue, if we actually taxed these resource companies appropriately. At the moment they’re basically allowed to waltz out of the country with materials en masse, for relatively no cost.

The one time we suggested that maybe they should be paying fairly, they screeched loudly and ran an enormous media campaign against that party.
So wait, then C# wasn't an application language before there was a way to package AOT binaries to deploy directly to users?

Intel sold i3s for years that had ECC unlocked. I run a i3-8100 on an x11 mobo in my TrueNAS box.
> Heck, my own Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram feeds are mostly comprised of stuff on the same level of quirky ingenuity of the early web.

This is exactly a problem I mentioned. You've got content on three social networks only one of which is readily crawlable by search engines. Twitter and Instagram are silos that really only want registered users to have access to content in their silo.

As to your second point you're ascribing to me an argument I did not make. I was pointing out that the amateur web of the 90s wasn't quirky because of garish colors or animated gifs. It was quirky because people put up passion projects. Seeing some "90s style" page that just puts animated gifs and garish colors is completely missing what made the web incredibly interesting.
So probably works better for OnlyFans creators :)

Who's yelling? Let's all stay calm. Just saying he talks a good game, but talk is cheap.

I don't have a few billion to spend. Sorry. Where's this few Billion Twigs has invested in Green project again? Maybe I'm wrong. There's Gladstone and that's about it, in terms of significant dollars actually put down by FMG/Twigs AFAICT. I'm genuinely just asking.

>I mean, if you're not going to assume good faith, what are you doing in the conversation in the first place?

It depends on the specific conversation. One example (which I gave earlier) might be to counter misinformation -for the sake of people reading. Another example might be to give out warnings or clarifications in the capacity of a forum moderator.

>Do you like to engage in fights, or stir up ones?

There's other reasons possible too. HN is made up of smart people so I'll leave imagining them as an exercise for the readers.
To me, 3 million dollars worth of record requests seems like more than would be optimal given the FBI’s purview.

I mean, I’ve seen some terrible tweets, even some that I’d consider criminally bad. But 3 million dollars to police bad tweets doesn’t strike me as the optimal way to allocate citizen’s money.

And it’s fair to ask, what results were achieved with that 3 million? If it were not a misallocation, certainly they could point to a high profile criminal, cartel or gang that they’ve prosecuted as the result of those record requests.

But we don’t hear that. We hear crickets. Their response seems to be, “how dare anyone ask!”

Certainly law enforcement is important. I think so. Most citizens do.

But shouldn’t we hold law enforcement accountable? Ought not there be public oversight when millions of dollars are being spent, millions of dollars spent, supposedly, on our behalf?

Perhaps you believe in more unchecked authority. Maybe crime has gotten so out of control that we should loosen some of the strictures put in place by the constitution. These are dangerous times. There are plenty of bad guys out there.

Personally, I think the citizens deserve to know, and have some say in how millions of dollars are spent. Absolute, unconstrained authority tends towards abuse. It’s quite well documented.
"Bad Faith" is an interesting concept. What might be the best concise definition of it? How to recognize it?

These things always come down to a contest between power and truth: which matters more, to the individual? Can truth turn their wrath, or only fuel it further? Do they heed or attack seekers after truth?

Pay close attention, because truth is our only defense against runaway power.

What's needed is some compelling reason for people to write LISP and not Python, Java, JavaScript, Rust, C++. An attractive Web framework with an ORM, or a tool for scientific computing, might do it. I don't think any amount of fiddling with Emacs (or for that matter vim) would have an effect at all: both have small market share (imho deservedly) and I'd wager even that is dwindling. If programming LISP has to be done in Emacs then, yikes, good luck. I like LISP a lot but strongly dislike Emacs, and would love to have a reason to write it but none has presented itself in decades.
I’m not sure, but what about the space program in the 1960s?

Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Obviously they shouldn't give out expired food. But I'd guess it's incompetence that led to it, not some feeling that it's ok to give expired stuff to homeless people.
> DC’s residents skew Democratic for a reason: having such a large black population means that they don’t trust the party which has such a questionable racial history

This seems odd if you think about it in terms of long term party history, because from the founding through the New Deal the Democrats were first and foremost the party of the white Southerners bent on the most extreme de jure racial discrimination (slavery, and then Jim Crow, etc.), and from the New Deal through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 things were more complicated, but they still had that same base as a key constituency; that didn’t really change until Johnson embraced the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Republicans followed up the way that had not done with previous times Democratic leadership had alienated that part of the base by actively courting them, especially starting in the 1968 Presidential election.

But you have to realize when discussing D.C. political parties, the District didn’t get to vote for President at all until 1964, didn’t get to vote for a (nonvoting) delegate to Congress (after 1874) until 1970, and didn’t get to vote for its local government until 1974. The history of electoral politics for D.C. residents is much shorter than for most of the rest of the country, and consists almost entirely of the period since the Republicans started actively courting racists as a key constituency.
When is this going to be classified as terrorism or (insert verb for what a traitor does)?
The FBI had had the Hunter Biden laptop and knew its contents were not planted by foreign agents. They knew Giuliani was about to go public with it in October. But what they told Twitter and Facebook was that it was foreign disinformation and/or hacked information, knowing these assertions were false.

That is not “protecting Democracy from foreign interference”, it’s literally the opposite, a government agency convincing private companies to suppress information they knew to be true, leading to a less informed electorate.

If the FBI had done exactly the same thing but it was Trump’s drug addict son’s laptop, it’s likely that all the “nothing to see here” people here would have been screaming for FBI heads to roll (figuratively) for the last two years.

The bottom line is that our bureaucracies are not supposed to act in a partisan fashion, and they did.
That's with winter blend.
I work in the US
I think we have opposite assumptions here. Afaict, young upwardly mobile professionals love density and (income++) diversity. SF was kinda sketchy before it got gentrified by tech, no? Tenderloin was bad, I’ve heard? The notion that people primarily move from less to more exclusive places don’t match with what I see. And people who are actually poor can’t afford new construction, so poor people (and the real social problems they often have) aren’t going to move into unsubsidised new-builds. Will upper-middle class people move away from an area just because craftsmen move in? Area you sure you’re not getting the causality the wrong way around? High-income people move out of area for various reasons not related to their neighbors, property values fall, lower-income people can afford to move in. That sounds more plausible to me.

I do have some arguments in favor of your position, but they’re mostly specific to the US: 1. Many people’s primary retirement plan and emergency fund is often their house, so property values are exceptionally important to them. 2. School funding per student goes down if less wealthy parents move to the district. 3. Violence in poor neighbourhoods can get really bad. None of this is God-given, though, which is why nimbyism isn’t quite as bad in many other countries. And while important, these factors don’t seem to be dominant.
Compatibility through source availability (with the right to adapt) is a good strategy though.

I've used Linux and explicitly chosen open source software since 2004. There's not a single program I'd like to run that does not work today. I've never been bitten by any such compatibility issue.

Binary compatibility is crap though. You are likely to have issues if you try to use a package you found outside of your distribution's repositories for the specific release you use. I guess AppImage and things like this will improve this sad state of affair.
TypeScript the language works well for me. All I really want is a more robust incremental mode, especially with respect to renaming or deleting files. I've been bitten enough by this that I blast the cache directory in my pre-push hook.
A cattle server needs no special maintenance. Yes, if you only have one server then by definition it'll require special maintenance, but that maintenance should be as generic as practicable so that if you ever need to set up a second one then you don't need to do anything special. That's the distinction between pets and cattle, not the tooling: you can configure cattle by hand if you have a repeatable and non-special cased setup script to follow, and you can use Ansible or Puppet or whatever to set up the unique environment your pet server needs. The important thing is that the setup process, maintenance, etc is standardized and documented. Automated is a bonus that should be relatively easy if you're doing it right
Ah yes, a two-hour commute to work is just a minor inconvenience. One should ride a bike in such circumstances.
It's been good to have the chance to articulate my annoyance and examine it closer and think of what alternatives I'd propose. I'm glad to have something more to go into future discussions with than inarticulate gripes. All in all a net win IMO!
Restored? It was never down.
I thought the issue with that is that it re-renders if any part of the context changes.
If it happens to me, it is happening to untold others, too. Thus, frequently.

"Infrequently" would mean I had not heard of it, or that I heard only of isolated instances, well publicized.
> or worse only once a month

Don't discount a job because of one deployment per month---it really depends upon the service. I joke that a busy year for me involved four deployments to production, but "production" for me wasn't a website, or even a web-based service, but a service involved in the call path for phone calls. Our customer is [1] the Oligarchic Cell Phone company and the SLAs are pretty severe.

I do have to ask---where do you people work where you have multiple deployments per week (or even per day)? To me, that sounds insane!

[1] Still is, even though I left a few months ago, and not because of the lack of deployments, but the shoving of Enterprise Agile [2] on the company by new management.

[2] Which is anything but Agile.

Edited the page. Opened the html in notepad, or whatever your local editor was.
Just because the chipset supported it doesn't mean the motherboard did, and there's little incentive for a motherboard company that makes server boards (OEM or under their own brand, or both) to sell ECC motherboards for the desktop consumer market, and integrators will not want to harm their "workstation" sales if "SOHO" systems are capable of ECC.

BTW, AMD's Ryzen CPUs and "Pro" APUs (APU = cpu with integrated graphics) will all do ECC, but not "officially", and not all motherboards have BIOS that supports it. You need to google around or just try it.

My team is currently using this and I've been wondering if there are reasons to move to something like jotai or Zustand. The ergonomics of react-hooks-global-state with TS is quite nice already.
I just want the map, reduce, filter functions to be acutely aware of the narrowed types. The moment I use Object.entries and then work on the data, the key has been widened to string.

Okay and maybe I also want it to be aware of type assertions that happened outside the array functions. You should already know that x cannot be undefined anymore. I tested that. I know you don’t think you can be sure you’re actually being called after the assertion, but you are! It’s obvious!

Oookay and maybe just one more (sorry Santa!): I want a ‘pure’ keyword. Any function that is pure can only call functions that are also keyworded as pure. No side effects, guaranteed.
People won’t just write encyclopedia articles for free, right?
I don't have any evidence either way, I'm simply trying to get clear about the effect the article is claiming. I am not saying I agree with the article's claims. As I have already said, I don't think the claimed effect would be significant if it exists.
VW is Audi Porsche Bentley and Lamborghini. I dont know if this ownership is reflected in the stock price of the company listed as VW. Porsche EVs have a better battery performance as measured empirically than Tesla - but they make more modest claims and outperform them, in contrast to Tesla who are essentially lying about battery performance. They are much nicer cars. Porche dealers take care of you very well. Porsche makes very good margin on their cars.
don't be facetious, less demand for flights means less frequently scheduled flights.

extraneous flying results in more production of CO2 in more massive quantities.

And then there's the "we got rid of it" with the Clean Air Act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming

> Sulfate aerosols have declined significantly since 1970 with the Clean Air Act in the United States and similar policies in Europe. The Clean Air Act was strengthened in 1977 and 1990. According to the EPA, from 1970 to 2005, total emissions of the six principal air pollutants, including PM's, dropped by 53% in the US. In 1975, the masked effects of trapped greenhouse gases finally started to emerge and have dominated ever since.

> The Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) has been collecting surface measurements. BSRN was started in the early 1990s and updated the archives in this time. Analysis of recent data reveals that the surface of the planet has brightened by about 4% in the past decade. The brightening trend is corroborated by other data, including satellite analyses.

The reason we're looking for a manager is that there isn't one, but the show must go on. One of those 3 teams was managed solely by me after it was created to build a new integration with a 3rd party vendor.

Once that integration went live someone on the business side sent out an email to everyone in the company and said they had never seen a project go so smoothly in the multiple years they had been there.

Yet here you are, unable to even _FATHOM_ such a thing working successfully.

What makes it worse is that Joel Spoelsky was talking about this in the late 90's, early 2000's, it's what made me originally start thinking about it. This aint new.

Once in a while somebody does some actual on-the-ground research and people are convinced to change their minds through evidence and reasoning. So far AI can't do that, it'll just parrot whatever it hears more often, (apparently) with some degree of randomness.

Maybe it'll learn to adopt a new view, but for now it won't be through actual reasoning.

Black keys = pentatonic scale for anyone curious. It basically always sounds good, but is repetitive after a while.
I thought of that too. I don't know enough about it to know if it's a legit counterpoint. My view is that real competition is necessary to efficiently and effectively get to a solution, versus focusing on the bureaucratic mechanics of running the machine that's supposed to be building the solution, which is what happens when government takes things on.

But the space program, and maybe the Manhattan project, actually had real, credible competition, even if it wasn't economic, so maybe were able to escape the bureaucratic trap. Something less urgent (even if it is on paper) like antibiotic resistance, I'm not convinced presents the kind of competition that would actually substitute for a competitive market.

I am on a tools team, so the "customers" for our team are the company's developers. For changes that might cause an extended outage if things go sideways, we generally prefer to do those after-hours or on weekends so that we don't have all the dev teams sitting idle during work hours if something goes wrong on our end.

The upshot is that this is fairly rare and we do not have an on-call rotation. If most anything breaks over the weekend, nobody is going to notice or care until Monday morning rolls around.
