It wouldn't need to be all that big. Park something out beyond geostationary orbit where it can sit ready to go on a few days notice. It doesn't need to be complex. A GoPro atop of a bathtub of xenon, with some big solar panels, would have the necessary deltaV. Slapping an srb on it for the initial oberth kick away from earth should speed it up too.
No, but I think I must be doing something wrong, because no form or input field of any kind is ever displayed on any website. I tried the simplest form imaginable on localhost and it didn't work either.

Edit: as ketzu points out (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34351753), Kristall simply doesn't render form elements. Which makes it pretty useless ATM IMHO.
Of course the idea is that you would only quit applications automatically if it starts quickly, you shouldn’t automatically quit Photoshop.

Why call it a "Cloud Scripting Site" rather than a "Javascript Cloud Scripting Site"?

It's very specifically javascript so it seems odd to name it as if it's something broader.

(Or does "cloud scripting" already have a specific association with js that has somehow passed me by?)

EDIT - I guess "Typescript/Javascript Cloud Scripting Site" is a bit of a mouthful but still...

While yes for many in the subsequent years, it wasn't at the time WhatsApp took over the world in 2011-2012. It didn't help for SMS when telcos were already giving unlimited social media in their plans and even prepaid, even when this already started to include unlimited SMS as well; people already migrated.

Its simplicity, cross-platform (as people out there use Android more than iOS) and user base was and still is the big moat; there have been quite superior applications over the years, yet none of them are used as the main messenger except by some niche communities. Telegram has been there since 2013, it's quite popular because of the features but I doubt it will take over: WhatsApp is enough and everyone already knows it.
There was a typo in the readme, thanks for pointing this out! I add 8 channels (4 mask + 4 masked chorales). The chorales are transformed into 4-dimensional arrays, each channel representing a part of the piece. I've added some example plots to the readme to illustrate.

This is the way. Driver aids should fill in gaps and give new capabilities, not replace driver attention. Sort of like DSC or antilock brakes.

Diversifying it is a good point. While gas was maybe the focus for this winter, of course it would be good to start the solar initiative at the same time so that it can be ready for some future year.
Elk: Open-Source Mastodon Web Client Now Available on GitHub
Ah neat, I've heard different names for snapshot/golden master type testing before, but generally find the tooling a bit lacking. It seems like https://github.com/approvals/ actually has pretty decent implementations for most languages.

I feel like the Jane Street approach of embedding the snapshots directly in test sources would make a qualitative difference to the ergonomics. The post implies that this requires some emacs integration, but there's no reason it couldn't be done by a test runner process instead. It would also be cool to have an LSP that provide a hover text or go-to-definition for externally stored snapshots.

> usually requiring all kinds of scaffolding and even resources like files, db, or mocked http requests

Yes, anything with timestamps or generated identifiers gets very annoying as you have to manually exclude certain data from the snapshots, negating some of the "easy wins" a snapshot/approval process provides for pure/idempotent code.
This website is gold. It manages to be at the same time funny and full of actually smart observations.
> From what I can tell, the car behind the tesla didn't crash into the tesla but stopped before.

The second video here clearly shows it crashing into the Tesla:

https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/tesla-crash-footage-auto...

> While automatic cars doing random things is certainly problematic, clearly the cause of the crash here isn't the tesla

The Tesla changed lanes, moving in front of the second vehicle, and immediately applied the brakes. That is 100% the Tesla's fault.
> I see no reason ever why you would remove right to work in that situation instead of just legislating proper worker rights, except to feed unions.

The massive wealth gaps in the US tell the actual story. Corporations have a huge influence over US law and the laws mostly benefit the corporations over individuals or unions. That's one of the dangers of massive wealth. You can just buy the government. Which has already happened in the US.
>It makes sense

If you think like a good citizen, yes.

In a country north of UK the law was once the same. People with worn down cars would find the perfect opportunity to slam their brakes, intentionally get hit from behind and claim insurance.
This is also just a lament that the distribution channels are once again vertically integrated with content production the way they were in the 1920s. That can also be fairly easily disrupted if one is willing to produce through unique channels at actual personal financial risk, isn't it?
In contrast, many of the behaviors are better on the Mac, but they do take some getting used to. The reason Apple doesn’t ‘just add a preference’ is that that would prevent people from getting over that little hurdle of getting used to it.

Just like cleaning up the recently used app list on the phone all the time, quitting all applications like this is a step backwards.
> If they are supposed to act locale-specific, then this "trick" simply leads to wrong results and should be avoided.

These tools are definitely supposed to act locale-specific (e.g. '.' regular expression should match one unicode codepoint even if it is multibyte), but in many cases one uses it on ASCII-only data (e.g. logs from system daemons that runs with LC=C anyways), so using this 'trick' is fine.

Mainly, i use this trick not for speedup, but because grep (with UTF-8 locale) has issues with invalid UTF-8 sequences in data, while grep with C locale accepts them.
If its a app with a document model, it kinda has to?
You close a word document, and then open another (through menu item), it shouldn't close the app in between. Also its not uncommon for me to close all the browser windows but leave the browser running, so that I can easily cmd-tab there and open new window. Yes, you can kind of workaround with some MDI style window, which you then would have to hide when not wanting to quit, but feels a bit unnecessary.

In the category of "single window apps", I wouldn't want my music to stop playing just because the gui of spotify is not visible. Granted, Hide might be a better option than closing the window, depending on if the app being active is useful without the gui. With spotify in particular, I would expect space to act as a play/pause even without gui visible, though annoyingly it seems they have not implemented it like that (apple music does).

The article consistently talks about "time of day" (e.g., morning), but it could be that "time since arising" is more relevant.

Yeah I’m not putting VR googles on my children. That in and of itself makes it a non-starter.

What you describe sounds like a single person experience which is fine but watching a show or a movie can also be a social experience and very often is exactly this. Seeing other people’s reactions and sharing space is a huge part of it. You can’t do that in VR.
Eating honey from wild bees was of course widespread in all places where the ancestors of the humans and then the humans found wild bees.

On the other hand, the domestication of the bees seems to have happened only in Egypt, a few thousands years ago, and then it has spread from there into Europe and Asia.

So it should have reached China after passing through some Indo-Iranian populations.

It also makes sense that this would happen. Despot takes loan from IMF, spends it on random crap that doesn't benefit the citizens. Despot gets thrown out. IMF still wants its money back. Cue austerity, making the citizens pay for what the despot did.
What are the practical modern alternatives for YAML use cased? TOML, others?
As long as there are valid reasons to do an emergency stop, the actual reason should be irrelevant for the person driving behind. You should always assume it is a child chasing their ball or something and it will be your car pushing the car that managed to properly stop into that child if you rear-end it. There just isn't a good reason to put yourself in a situation like that and it is perfectly in your power to avoid it.
I work with many hundreds of technical resources and directly manage a dozen senior ones. I encounter engineers like this from time to time because their ideas bubble up. Your description of them is very good.

Recalibrate your idea of "smart". They may be off-the-scale smart in some context, but are below average smart in other facets. If they weren't, they wouldn't be causing you a headache. It's just that we don't tend to use the word "smart" when talking about the ability to compromise, value effort, work together.

The fault is in your statement "weighing it against the larger system". You need to make it clear to him that it's your job to ensure ideas are weighed against the larger system, if he is unable/unwilling to do so. And that this isn't you calling seniority over him, it's about the skill and responsibility of weighing up priorities. Do that in a way that shows his idea is warranted and excellent inside his frame of context. Explain your objective reasoning and it should be apparent why your decision is correct - "what would you do in my position?". Some of these types want recognition.

Unfortunately, a significant proportion of such people can't cope with this. They'll lobby your peers and seniors to sponsor their idea and eventually one of those will back him. Or they'll just go ahead and do it anyway, if they can. It's why "ignore it" is not an option. This is toxic behaviour that has no part in your organization.

You can move the resource sideways to a new task. Then keep an eye to see if they impose their last bright idea on this task, too.

You can give the resource a task that's more challenging. Or a task that's more in the R&D space.

Sadly, there is prevelance in this type of resource wanting to make his daily job better or more interesting, or engineers in general, and sometime CV embellishment with a new experience. Not enrich the life of the user or the worth of the company.
I used to think the bumper stickers that said "the closer you get, the slower I go" were purely out of spite, but yeah, as it turns out they can be both for spite as well as for sound safety reasons.
It could also be inexperience.

If your experience is limited to academic projects, grinding leetcode, even competitive programming, you've done things where first one is nearly always optimal.

Once you are on a team optimizing for continued feature delivery over time, the cognitive load of picking up and understanding old code full of raw maps and strings starts to justify the overhead of a bit more semantic scaffolding in places.

IMO the necessary judgment has to be learned even by smart, academically talented people.

That also depends.
Capitalistic free market always has some welfare baseline, below which state intervenes and may use money collected via taxes to level the playing field. Free housing can be part of that baseline. It distorts the property market, but like with the opioids market we have to ask if it should be completely free or regulated to death. It’s not like economy will suffer, there will still be construction industry etc, but the incentives will shift and the money buried in property bubbles will go elsewhere.
It might be that they use simple in relative terms.

Linux could be considered simple given the problem it's trying to solve and yaml complex.

On the matter of the articles discussion of uranium in the ocean - that's a dream of chasing something evermore expensive.

If there was an empty ocean basin the size of the Earths oceans and if there was an efficient cheap extraction method,

then we could pass the entire ocean through that process from our ocean to the empty basin (okay, this already sounds impractical).

Instead (if we had this hypothetical cheap extraction) we'd find ourselves endlessly pumping the same ocean through the same process and forever chasing smaller and smaller concentrations.
I think the main problem is the reverse Dunning Kruger effect. It can be very hard to tell what's not obvious to another person when the entire thing is self-explanatory to you.

The two most intelligent people I know write code that works incredibly well, but you can tell it was coded out in one shot based on an idea they had. Makes it difficult to read, but to them it "just makes sense".

A really good friend of mine is like this. When I read over his code, it's highly compact, and makes use of language features that are pretty obscure. The stuff he builds out addresses problem I would never have thought of. But the catch is I can't follow, or understand half his code.

Sometimes though, there's an advantage here. Someone like that can get all the ideas out "on paper" (so to speak), then pass it off to someone who can make it legible for everyone else. There's a lot of value in someone like this, but you need to pair them up with the software equivalent of an editor. You'd be surprised, some people enjoy doing that!
That doesn't reassign fault. It maybe adds more people to the "at fault" group.

This seems like a rather absolute take
Also some of what may be perceived as cognitive decline is simply being distracted and tired from raising a family. The brain-power may come back later once kids are older and caring responsibilities get less. (though that may not happen if you got elderly relatives to then care for. also from what I hear adult "kids" can be quite a distraction too ;) ). I remember being amazed at my grandmother in her 80s still having such a sharp mind, reading sci-fi, beating others at chess or card games. But of course, she had no responsibilities any more, could have a lie-in if needed, not worn out from work etc. I'd guess she may have seemed sharper mentally at 80 than 50. I have another relative like that too, 80 and very sharp.
I love the new screens with the reclining chairs. I've not been to the cinema much in the last 3 years (COVID plus children) but I only go to the cinema nearby that has the armchairs.

Nope, the denominator is different. If you select the same percentage from each category the proportions stay the same.

If there are 100 fruits where 10 are apples and 90 are pears and each fruit has 10% chance to be selected then you get on average 1 apple and 9 pears => 10% of the selected fruits are apples.
If we constantly have to change our technical terms to fit whatever misconceptions the "common folk" have... well that's a lot of pointless redefinition and recoining.

Heat pipes from the previous decade don't have a wicking matrix, they're hollow, and even often smooth-walled. Vapor chambers have sponge-like structures inside of them to re-condense water closer to the heat source and assist its movement back to the hotspot via capillary action.
Most of the architecture diagrams that I review and sometimes write are of the second kind. Once you have planned and set for execution, the architecture rarely changes. If it did, then there was something fundamentally wrong with the first architecture and as s result this diagram will be modified in a review or a rewrite or whatever.

A live architecture document derived from code, even on a batch basis if not in real time, will be a really cool endeavour. If you can somehow look at a repo and generate a diagram describing all the different subsystems and their interactions, boy imagine that !

A simple traceability might be just through imports starting with the main program. Start with the main functions and trace them through. May be using a tool like sourcegraph.

TFA clearly says "database". They dropped the whole database.
The tech industry was seeing high debt and high valuations.

With near-zero interest rates, this is fine for a while: it lets companies gain market share (at least until saturation).

But once interest rates go up, investors start expecting higher returns on their capital, so they divest from high P/E growth opportunities towards more cash flow (like government bonds or companies already grown and now exploiting their position).

And with less capital you have less of a budget to keep people on payroll.
I've rarely worked in a team where the extra scaffolding was ever worth it. In fact chasing the scaffolding scattered through varied files through the filesystem was a lot trickier usually than fixing the actual bug I was trying to fix.
I think it's important, if you're the smartest person on the team, to view your role as serving the team.

I try to adopt this attitude, I love creating some machinery / abstraction / tool etc to more effectively express the solution to some business problem, but I recognise that my fellow developers must be empowered by any such machinery. I spike, educate if needed, then pair to reimplement. I also try to leave a 'back door' to reversing out of a new design, to let the old way and the new way compete in their minds - which is actually better for them. If the old way wins, I might lick my 'wounds' and try something smaller/simpler.

> You can’t program your way out of the problem with Level 2; in fact, the better the Level 2 system seems to be, the worse the problem gets. That problem is that human beings are simply no good at monitoring systems that do most of the work of a task and remaining ready to take over that task with minimal to no warning.

Well, you could have extremely visible/audible signals for the driver to take over when the driving system is failing (internal lighting becoming red and blaring alarms), but that wouldn't be very popular I guess, especially with half-assed self-driving systems.
I've tried this out and it's very cool. I think one particular application is roll-your-own "social listening" which usually requires buying tools.
They don't render input elements (at least that is my understanding of the code):

https://github.com/MasterQ32/kristall/blob/6b39f24484bb0796f...

The GitHub notes that they only support a reduced set of HTML, but not which set it is. My guess is they do not support any interactivity related elements.

Argentina, maybe? Also I don't know if this is primarily the IMF but didn't Russia post-USSR-collapse implement the sudden market reforms everyone told it to, causing an economic collapse (since sort-of recovered), dramatic fall in life expectancy (now just above its 1986 levels) while setting in motion the events that led us to the war in Ukraine?

Note: I'm not the GP commenter and I'm not trying to start an argument or denounce the IMF, if there's good reasons why these aren't good examples that's totally OK :)
If they want to add complexity and put in extra work they can do it on their own pet project. Sure they want to invest the extra time now but are they also going to maintain it forever with extra effort or what happens when they leave?
