Opposite opinion here: Internet recipes are generally terrible. It's almost impossible to make any determination as to whether recipes have ever been tested or optimized or anything, and I just don't trust them. But if I go to seriouseats.com (for example) and they show me all of the work they went through to get to the recipe, I trust them.

I'd say that well over half of the random Internet recipes I try aren't very good, have been developed with bad techniques, use the wrong flavors, try to fix flavor issues by adding more flavors and so on. Using a vetted site (the America's Test Kitchen recipes are also quite good) gets me ~98% success.

I'd rather take the extra 5 minutes of time to look through how the recipe was created and tested to make sure it's a good recipe than spend a couple of hours making an unknown recipe with a 50/50 shot to not be terrible. YMMV.
I always find these a little funny. "[Commonly held thought with some convenient tweaks] is WRONG...so use our stuff!"

Even open source projects are guilty of this type of grifting, everyone wants to win, even without money in the game.
Corporate headshots feel a bit like going to a lousy used car dealership. The guy at the dealership has a pinky ring, a fake tan, hair gel, and some very loud suit. Maybe a diamond earring as well. It’s a stereotype because it’s seen so often. But who does it impress? It must impress some folks or else it would die out.

This is not about actual premium cards. Premium cards are defined by Stripe as:

> Commercial, corporate, or business cards issued by Visa and Mastercard

The reason is that in 2015 the EU capped interbank fees to 0.2% for debit cards and 0.3% for credit cards. Visa and Mastercard (and issuing banks) managed to carve out an exemption for payment cards that are issued to businesses. These cards do have much higher fees. I'm actually surprised that Stripe has refrained so far from charging more for business cards.

FWIW I figure that a technological "magic bullet" might save our bacon, and it's prudent to explore the options. (Personally I thought the olivine weathering seemed promising but I don't know if anything came of it, at least so far.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_weathering

But I'm convinced by Václav Smil (among others) that the real solution will have to involve just not pulling up so much carbon from underground and putting it in the atmosphere.

The problem with old cookbooks is that ingredients and tastes change dramatically over the years.

Pork for example in the 50s was way, way different than pork today--in the 70s and 80s pork producers decided pork had a bad reputation and bred pigs to be leaner with less fat so it would be sold as healthy food (remember the slogan, 'Pork: the other white meat'?). So if you had pork chops in the 50s they were much fattier and better tasting, almost like steak, vs. what you get today. A tomato meat sauce from that era might have you just use fat pork chunks instead of beef and if you make that same recipe to the letter today you'll just get dry nasty shredded pork.

Another example is jello and aspic. In the 60s jello was new and turned into a fad to make aspic-like dishes, basically meat inside a rich and hearty congealed fat. If you look at cookbooks of that era you'll see all kinds of horrifying things like tuna fish in jello--it was novel at the time but now a curiosity.

Old cookbooks are fun but IMHO I would stick with stuff from recent decades.
Our eyes stop growing at some point during our youth. It is when our eyes grow too long that we develop myopia.

The reason your eye sight is consistent is because your eyes are the longest they will ever be. As we age, our lenses harden, we lose the ability to focus, and sometimes our eyes shrink. In myopic people, these process will result in an "improvement" in their eye sight, while people with good eyesight will develop hyperopia when these processes happen.

I believe the latest research points to lack of outdoor activities as the source of myopia in children. UV light appears to play a part in regulating the growth of our eyes, preventing them from growing too long.
I agree. Even just doing exactly what the school secretaries used to do (call out instead of requiring us to poll, and only during certain hours) would be better. But you're right that the incentives are awful. This software worked and changing it would presumably cost money (developer time, potential for introducing new revenue-impacting bugs, etc.). Also, the people making the decisions are of course not using their own money: if something is more expensive but saves some district employee 40 hours a year doing background checks, managing the sub list, etc., then they will choose to pay the service. Presumably my employer also had slick salespeople wooing these decision makers with dinners out, football tickets and the like.
That's what a retention policy IS, keep it for as long as we need it, then destroy it so old problems have a harder time coming back. The question is how long do you retain for.

Disagree. I think your social status has more to do with your conformity to neoliberal values than it does money. Sure, money can buy nice things and attract friends. Just look at Kanye.

I like the looks of Svelte, but this argument is a bit strong. The supposed benefit of virtual DOM being:

X application-level virtual DOM changes ->
differ detects only Y < X real DOM changes ->
Y final DOM operations

is faster than

X application-level virtual DOM changes -> no virtual DOM diffing -> X DOM operations

this depends a lot of how fast the diffing is and how fast the DOM is but unless DOM operations are instant now (and with CSS, layout reflow, etc. I'm not sure how they could be) then there must remain some situations where VDOM has a perf advantage.

People can remember Starry Night, but if you asked people to reproduce it from memory the reproductions would be all over the place.

People are generally not capable of creating realistic copies of anything straight from memory. Realistic paintings from the the Renaissance could only be done on still life, but photo realistic paintings were only possible after color photography was widespread and artists could use full scale photographs to base their paintings off of.
"Very intermittent access" is the use-case for most things I build. There's a short tail -- I've built a platform you've heard of and, given this is HN, more likely than not, used. Then there's a long tail:

- Home automation

- Municipal / school / community sites

- Personal web page

- Various internal automation within my organization

... and so on.

These are things which:

1. Require very simple technology (E.g. storing data in a small key-value store is more than good enough)

2. Should work for the next decade or three with no maintenance

3. Expect to be accessed maybe a couple of times a day, if I'm lucky, and probably much less

4. Most will never scale to gigabytes of data, ever

Developers (some) might enjoy this but this is bad for humankind. A garbage fire of Flash, forever & ever. Un-web. Having no high level interfaces to stand upon, using the web as a low level pixel-out target is the worst look a web company could propose, is deeply betraying to one of the only technological projects that has expanded human liberty. This is a horrible mis-step in the technosocial society.

And the intro sections attempt to malign seems intense weak sauce. "Quirky" feels like mostly works pretty great, for a huge huge number of the largest rank of developers- web developers. But oh no, visual centering is hard! Burn it down! Oh no there are some oddly named input gestures (which?), burn it down! Based off the proliferation of design systems (& having worked on a few), styling components is not on my list of complaints at all. I think many working developers handle what we have fine & are not nearly as restrained or encumbered as this slander puts-down.

This feels like an elite concern & self-justification that is unhinged from the real world. Where do developers sign up to say they dont have the awful terrible miserable forsaken life this post declares to be our conditions, needing total revolution?

The harm is just so great; blowing up our shared language to turn the web into a low level platform for pixels. This is the fall of information-society Babel, a fools quest, of ruin. Scattering us to many totally unique utterly unrelated development platforms, none of which have any power any web-extensions, any user scripting. This is a control technology, slams the door on the holistic better nature of the web, and that is an awful plight to perpetrate against the user, a sad & dark leaving of a bright information society to head into the Dark Forest of computing. What is the meat, what justifies this attempt to kill structured hypermedia & replace the world wide web with a web of bitmaps?
I'd say the vast majority of time when working with people programming/testing I hear the statement "Hmm, I didn't think of that".
> If it were the case, there would be no society with drugs and polyamory.

There are virtually no societies that embrace drugs and polyamory. Some highly individualistic societies tolerate both in the sense that they condone pursuit of individual satisfaction without regard to social utility. But virtually no society treats those things as virtuous, pro-social behaviors.

> What you call anti-social, some other group call it life.

You can call it “life” (I.e. the pursuit of personal satisfaction) but it’s still anti-social. Using drugs or having multiple partners might feel good to you individually, but it has only negative externalities on society at large. That’s pretty much the definition of anti-social.

> A christian taboo or an american indulgence is not a universal construct.

These rules aren’t “Christian” taboos. Drug use and polyamory are frowned upon across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Even within Islam and Mormonism, polygamy is a historical practice that is sometimes tolerated for certain people but downplayed by the mainstream.

Nor are those rules a matter of preference. Quite the opposite: they are nearly universal across diverse societies and cultures because they are rooted in physical, economic, and social realities. In that sense it’s similar to the rules that apply to economic transactions. Most societies discourage or ban various types of financial misconduct because they undermine the trust that enables markets to function. SBF’s financial crimes aren’t bad because some stone tablet says so. They’re bad because such conduct has a negative effect on society at large.

The point is not to fetishize comments. Write a comment if you feel something needs explanation, but don't freak out about "uncommented code" as a smell or whatever, when reading the code should have been your first step anyway.

And to repeat: when debugging, train yourself to ignore the comments. They will absolutely lie to you.

MBWA: The Lost Art of Managing by Wandering Around
Svelte is great. React is great. X, Y and Z are also great. And you know what they all share as well? Speed. They are all fast. Definitely fast enough for 99% of all uses cases if not more. The benchmarks they all provide are just benchmarks. I treat them like I treat car range reports by the car makers.
I personally use react because I know it well, and it allows me super speedy development cycle once all the base components are done. I'm sure another person will say "I use Svelte because A, B and C". etc.
All abstractions are pure overhead. Let's code everything by hand by flipping bits in memory using a tiny magnetic needle.

Glo | Remote | Full Time | Non Profit | $100k+

Glo is building a stablecoin that lifts people out of extreme poverty by providing a basic income. We're a nonprofit startup. Our goal is zero extreme poverty.

Glo is a fully-backed stablecoin that invests its treasuries in short-term Treasury Bills -- just like Circle (USDC). The difference is we'll then give the proceeds from that investment away to GiveDirectly. We call it the anti-poverty version of the dollar.

We raised a $2m seed donation from Sid Sijbrandij (GitLab, YC W15) and are hiring broadly to help realize this vision:

- Head of Community

- Lead Writer

- Communications and Social Media Manager

- Motivated individuals with a vision for how to grow GLO

Glo's first goal is to be the best stablecoin, and we'll then aim for mainstream adoption beyond the crypto world. Ultimately we strive for Glo to be widely used for payments just like the dollar or the euro.

> ... or Triangle of Power by English-speaking media

Somehow it upsets me that they call it a "triangle of power" when it is clearly a rhombus.
But it's not more a problem than the LSD-heavy semi hoboes partying in woodstock in the 70s: both interrogate us on how far we should go in our ways, propose ridiculously extreme alternatives we have to compromise with.

Letting the trads speak a bit more might shock us just as much as the past minorities shocked our forefathers, but look where are: we evolved have't we ? Maybe we can ditch some dictat we imposed on ourselves in our chase for ever deeper reactionary counter-traditionalism.
Why I'm Diving into AR/VR Development as a Dev and Indie Founder
Hi All! I'm starting somewhat of a learning adventure with AR/VR and this is my first take on the space and why I want to start learning it.

> My biggest pet peeve is this idea that the human race or even some large swath (“investors”) are doing one thing instead of another. How does one “pour billions in to policies” anyways? How do investors investing in bigpharma in any way impact public health policy?

You're asking these questions as if they're rhetorical, relying on the simplicity of the "One doesn't! They don't!" answer to get that answer which you want. But that's not the true answer, the true answer is just more complicated.

People are investing billions into getting policies passed (lobbyists) and implementing them (compliance, government contracting, etc.). These are multi-billion-dollar economies.

Big pharma affects drug policy through lobbying, drug pricing, choosing what drugs to research and make publicly available, etc.

> If the worst miscalculation you can point at the human race making is accidentally planting too many trees - well - I think the author is perhaps the myopic one!

The miscalculation being pointed out by the author is that we're paying fraudsters for environmental interventions like removing carbon from the atmosphere, and they aren't doing it.

Even if planting trees is a good, it's not the good we're paying them for and it's not getting the results we intended. And if you read the article with the intention of understanding it rather than with the intention of picking it apart, you might have noticed that it points out that the trees aren't even getting planted in many cases.

> Of course they immediately confuse other complex topics (wildfires bad is an extremely naive understanding of California!) so pulling apart any of this is hopeless.

"Wildfires bad" is an extremely naive understanding of this article. Perhaps pulling apart the article is only hopeless for you because you're trying to pull it apart without bothering to understand it.
The answer is buried right in the middle of the article:

Back in 1970, to win Department of Defense support at the program’s outset, NASA had redesigned the shuttle to launch national security payloads. Now, that decision paid off.

If you visit the Museum of the Air Force in Dayton Ohio, the guides will tell you straight out that the cargo bay (and thus entire airframe) of Shuttle was enlarged to be able to hold a Keyhole/CORONA imaging satellite and retrieve it if necessary.
