>If you have to run javascript it is not a static page anymore. I've seen a lot of this particularly weird overloading of "static HTML" lately. Static HTML, or static webpage, is meant to describe the experience from the person who is trying to look at the page. It does not describe the experience of the dev.

I don't think this has been the common meaning of "static page" for at least 10 years.

From Wikipedia [0]:

>A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored

Static refers to the fact the files are served without any application-level processing on the server side beyond simple file serving. A page can depend on CSS/JS/WASM and still be a static page.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While clever, this is (IMO) far less understandable and more error-prone than say COBOL's positively ancient built-in SEARCH ALL binary search statement. Here's an example of a 3-key binary table search from IBM's COBOL documentation that includes options for found and not found conditions.

SEARCH ALL TABLE-ENTRY
AT END PERFORM NOENTRY
WHEN KEY-1 (INDX-1) = VALUE-1 AND
KEY-2 (INDX-1) = VALUE-2 AND
KEY-3 (INDX-1) = VALUE-3
MOVE PART-1 (INDX-1) TO OUTPUT-AREA
END-SEARCH

I don't agree with your framing that all asymmetric behavior is necessarily wrong. But accepting it for the moment, wrongs are sometimes necessary to make rights.

A good example here is the American Revolution. Oppression by force is an obvious wrong. So is killing people. Was it wrong for Americans to revolt, knowing they would have to commit wrongs along the way?
I think your definition of a static web page is different from the common one?

In my head, a static page is something that's served verbatim, without some backend generating it or inserting things into a template.

Wikipedia seems to agree with that view: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_web_page

Microsoft takes axe to Metaverse, Project Bonsai
Microsoft bought Bonsai about 4 years ago and now has laid off the entire team. I wonder if this is related to the move to LLMs (and the new Bing). The layoffs were concentrated in AI and industrial automation.
How do you use that on something like GitHub pages?
This is nonsense semantics. Words and phrases change meaning over time.

Good point, I haven't thought of that angle.

Edit: But the homeless on the streets where I live that sell magazines etc accept mobile payment. And I've worked for the main government welfare agency a few years providing help to these people, and an assumption / basis was that they had a phone to be contacted on, which proved to work fine for most of them.
Isn't this partly why `enum class` was introduced, and is now the idiomatic way to express enums?
> Who do you hold accountable when your crypto funds get lost? Who do you go to when your crypto funds go to the wrong address?

> Many have tried this with crypto and this has completely failed as unrealistic at any scale.

1) I know it's scary, but living with personal responsibility can be a thing that some people actually want.

2) We're extremely early into the invention of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is only about 14 years old. Better interfaces and best practices for how these things are handled and moved around are developing. You remind me of somebody being around in say 1978, seeing the simple computers of the day, and remarking that there's no practical use for normal people having a computer because you think that they currently suck and cannot conceive of them improving.

3) Look at human economic history. It took humans in some cases hundreds of years to figure out what we might see as best practices for new accounting concepts or technologies. Some kind of basic ledger system with tablets, sticks, or other implements proving that a tax payment or loan was made took a long time to figure out. Humans didn't know how to handle silver coins initially, it took time to figure out that hey had to put ridges on gold/silver coins to prevent certain people from clipping chunks off them. Fiat has been around a while and many humans still haven't made the connection between printing money and inflation directly robbing them. Is it any surprise that crypto isn't completely developed just 14 years in?

> nobody or any business wants to use or deal with in the real world

Do you not notice an inherent contradiction in what you're saying: why would you need to block exchanges if nobody wants to use it in the real world?

> The government won't accept your crypto / magic beans as a way to pay your taxes.

"Use fiat. Not necessarily because you think it has the best attributes for you, but because men with guns will throw you in a metal cage if you do not."

Not the most persuasive argument for me, sorry.
There is this spicy touch of having to tug your PC to a LAN party or go rent a movie that makes you enjoy it more.

One way to emulate that nowadays is to pay exhortative cinema prices and not have the itch to surf on your phone due to sink cost fallacy.

I'll look through this (the Internet Archive's full version that fero14041 mentioned) but Bertrand Russell's ''History of Western Philosophy'' has always been a personal favourite overview, covering this same topic and continuing to the late 19th century's major philosophers.

It does not, except if you're COPYing into an unlogged table - for regular tables data that gets COPYed in gets WAL logged and is crash safe.

In my understanding, as compared to a multi-row insert, a COPY statement is (1) a lot more efficient to parse/process, (2) uses a special bulk write strategy that avoids churn and large amount of dirty pages in shared buffers.

As compared to multiple single row inserts another benefit is that you're writing a single transaction ID, instead of a lot of individual transaction IDs (causing less freezing work having to be done by autovacuum, etc.)
I agree with the original point, but giving an answer that shows yourself in the most favorable light seems like what these bots should be doing. Despite the innaccuracies, I think that's pretty much the angle someone like Reagan would take if confronted now about those events.
The use case for a document like this is a little different from .htaccess. This is something you can share, email, host, etc and have some security in transit and at rest. Yes, .htaccess password protects on the web server, but that is one specific use case and requires a lot of machinery and specific environment. JavaScript is everywhere. And this is a static HTML document in the sense that there is no server side rendering.

Goedel’s theorem is not a problem because math is not limited to models of our universe.
The problem with distributed wind and solar is that some places are better than others. Solar can go on roofs everywhere but it works better in sunny places. Utility solar is cheaper than roofs. Wind has places where it is stronger like offshore and the plains. Also, windmills are more efficient when bigger.

The result is that it is more efficient to put wind and solar in best places and ship the power to where needed. The independent survival area probably depends on where end up putting batteries. I suspect that substations and neighborhoods make most sense but houses might also be best.

One unusual hurdle for Nim right now is that on Windows, many of the anti-virus vendors out there are overly aggressive in flagging as bad any executable that was written in nim [1].

Don't know if they've made much headway lately, but for awhile even the main installer was getting flagged, as well as tools like choosenim.

See e.g. https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17820
Exactly. I don't know where the confusion is, but I'm saying that it doesn't matter how the page is generated. It is sent to the website visitor as just HTML. When the user views it it is all there, just html. No changes.

For example, I have a perl script that generates a set of .html files every night to show new additions to my library. They are static .html files on disk and never modified before the user views them. Just because a perl script (not connected to the web server in any way) made it does not "taint" the HTML so it is not static. The program, or the person, that wrote the HTML does not matter. All that matters is that it's just static unchanging HTML.
Yes. Chelsea Sullenberger ("Sully") made the same point in an interview. He said in the early days of the airlines, the CEO was always a pilot, and error margins were set much higher than legally required. Now that CEOs tend NOT to be retired pilots, new regulations are needed to raise the safety margins beyond current regulatory points to what a safety-conscious pilot would choose.
If you could switch personality at will, would that make you a non-person? It seems like an additional capability, not a lack of ability.

As an analogy, retro computers and consoles each have a particular “personality”. But does the fact that you can in principle emulate one on the other (subject to resource constraints) make them non-computers, just because this demonstrates their “personality” isn’t actually that fixed?

(I don’t think that human brains have such an emulation ability, due to their missing distinction, or heavy entanglement, between hardware and software. But that only shows that computers can in principle be more flexible.)
I think you are thinking about the wrong type of security measures. I believe the op is talking about features like traction control, stability control, and ecu features that prevent engine power and braking at the same time. In performance driving situations (eg track driving) it is standard practice to disable these for the best track times. As safety features on the road they make a lot of sense, but can get in the way during high performance driving.
One source of inspiration is to see what the Plan 9 folks did, plus things inspired from that - filesystems for network access, for the clipboard, for representing windows on the screen.

I've also been considering some sort of filesystem for MQTT, which combined with an appropriate bridge would allow for reading and control of assorted smart devices as a filesystem.
Hungary, which used to be a pretty stable and all around OK country showed it takes one single political misstep to cause a landslide victory in the next election cycle - meaning supermajority. Then that party took the advantage to re-write the consitution to gerrymander and keep the power for many years a-coming.
I think most political parties would do the same, regardless of country.
So next time you curse a politician out at the other end of the political spectrum, also thank them, for actually existing. Nothing destroys a country faster than a (quasi) single-party system.
Wow I like that. So simple and elegant. Could be combined with a username to produce unique urls per user.
The Talon model is fairly accurate, but it can be confusing for new users to use the command system correctly. I posted a sibling reply about this, but the most common reason for Talon users to complain about the recognition is that they are in the strict "command mode" and say things that aren't actually commands.

If you encounter what feels like poor recognition in Talon, I recommend enabling Save Recordings and zipping+sharing some examples on the Slack and asking for advice.

The current command set is definitely harder to learn than a system designed for chat/email where "what you say is what you get", but it's much more powerful for tasks like programming once you learn it.

I'm dubious about what kind of general command accuracy Numen is able to get with the Vosk models, as Vosk to my understanding is more designed for natural language than commands.
Always as SQL. Historically, SQL was a rename of SEQUEL [1], so there may be some people who say SQL as a word, but most people spell it. That's also how the SQL standard say to pronounce it, "S-Q-L".

But, for Microsoft's WinDbg, the correct pronunciation for those in the know is, "wind bag". [2]

The article is about how it's sufficient. Not about it being necessary.
> A language needs to be good enough for developers to enjoy using it.

That's too far. A language simply needs to not be actively bad.

Perl, unfortunately, was actively bad because everybody had their own subset of Perl that they knew and none of them overlapped.

When I was interveiwing for VLSI positions back in the mid 1990's, everybody would ask if you knew Perl. I would start whiteboarding and invariably would write something in Perl that the interviewer wouldn't know--which would effectively derail the interview. This is actively bad.

Python, by constrast, never had that problem. I used to carry to interviews printouts of a reasonably simple program in both Perl and Python (verilog VCD parser) so I could discuss them with the interviewer. The interviewer would always like the Python program better even if they didn't know Python.

(although, to be fair, it seems that Python has now grown that subsetting problem recently--how times change ...)
numpy, clearly rhymes with lumpy :-)
This is my core concern really. So far, most outages I experienced here in Germany were mildly annoying, mostly due to the fact that cash is still King here and I had enough around the house to cover a couple days, but everytime it happens I think of what it would be like if we were as cashless as for example China. I'm not against all those modern payment methods, but I seriously think it should be mandatory for stores offering the basic necessities to accept cash.
I can go back to win 7 and it had "speech recognition". Before that in xp days I dabbled with offline dragon and stuff.

Point is, I've been bugged with this problem.

" I need a dictation software to read me back what it understood and typed". ALL the software either assume you are looking at the screen and like the win7 (scratch that) I don't want that.

Let me say "I was walking and running besides the train." <pause> "I was walking and besides The train." Would be response so I would say "scratch that." And I would repeat it or ask for help and all.

Why isn't such a system there?

Think of it as a person doing the typing. You write a line, they read back what you said, okay, next. Otherwise fix that like this
It's really not all that similar. The emphasis is very much on the local government, more so than really anywhere else in the world (that I know of). There are some states where local governments matter. There are more where power is concentrated at the level of the county or state government.

A (bad) way to think of it would be something along the lines of a New England townhall system on steroids, with several layers of federal/confederated associations above the local township (geminde).

Again, not a great comparison, but it's something that at least a portion of the US-centric users on here would know a little about.
That's exactly what I said. It doesn't matter if I wrote the HTML by hand or I had a perl, or bash, or compiled c program make it. It's just an HTML file.
Their solution intends for the static file to be copied offline
'Safe' here obviously means including transactional integrity, so I feel you're criticising the wrong thing.

That's so nitpicky it has lesser nitpicks living upon it.
Ask HN: What to run on a 1cpu 0.5gb RAM machine?
Already own a virtual machine instance (5 usd/month) and hosting a few simple services and website.

The website is single page. No complex backend. At most it fetches stuff from another web service and does some crawling/crunching. I don't expect high loads here.

Mainly asking for the website self-hosting purpose only.

Can I downgrade here? Also just wondering what do most people use a 1cpu 0.5gb machine for? VPN? Personal website? Or something else?
Aspartame breaks down in to methanol (which is then metabolized in to formaldehyde) when heated.

This sounds bad, but it's worth keeping in mind that plain tomato juice has something like 6x methanol in it than diet sodas. The quantities involved are tiny. Aspartame is metabolized in the same way when consumed cold. The big reason soda manufacturers are concerned about heat is that it loses its sweetness.

(all that being said, it's probably still a good idea to avoid anyway)

Build full-stack Urbit applications in JavaScript

I thought the article was pretty clear.
I spent some time Googling this about 6 months ago. Lots of tutorials on Crypto-js, not so many (and almost zero "here's a super simple implementation") for WebCrypto API. I can understand if this is a hobby project why you'd lean into one rather than the other, I probably would have done the same.
The article states the following about the software:

>"It delivers a message to the cockpit with crucial weight and balance data, including how many people are on board, the jet’s empty and gross weight and the position of its center of gravity.

>In a cockpit check before takeoff, this data is entered into the flight computer to determine how much thrust the engines will provide and at what speed the jet will be ready to lift off."

Given that overhead bins are regularly maxed out with carry-on luggage now since airlines began charging for checked bags, how are they able to accurately account for the weight and balance? Airlines seem to almost never weigh customers carry-on at check in.
Seems like a weirdly timed article given the new S curve is about to start with ML finding numerous real world applications.
You're interpreting the title as "a static HTML page with password protection", but the way I understood it is "statically hostable version of a static HTML page with password protection", which seems to be exactly what this implements. I'm probably biased because I would have frequently had use for this, and all the paid offerings mention "private hosting of static pages", but I feel you're a bit uncharitable with your interpretation.

If you want to just have a free small private static page which is easily updated by public CI offerings this is a great solution, and the title transports this clearly.

sure, for example this pauses every youtube video in every chrome tab:

end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell

The headline has lost some nuance:

> The paper finds that since 2019, female researchers have comprised around 40% of new members in both prestigious academies1. Historically, across disciplines in each academy, there have been substantially fewer female researchers than male ones. Before the 1980s, female members comprised less than 10% of total academy membership across all scientific fields.

So, if you choose a random person getting admitted, they'll probably be a man.

They claim that if you equalise for "achievement" then woman are overrepresented. Which you can interpret as "woman are inferior, even if we give them an advantage they're still not good enough" or "woman are broadly equal to men, but are held back by the predominance of men in science (and society) and consequent sexism"
