I think you might be using the term “SSR” in a non-standard way. In the context of JavaScript apps, SSR refers to an initial pre-rendering of the HTML of a SPA page on the first browser page load. Subsequent navigations in that same browser tab would render on the client just like an SPA that doesn’t have SSR.

You might be talking about what the JavaScript community has started to call “MPA,” which doesn’t seem to have converged on a clear meaning but seems to usually imply that some or all page navigations do involve a trip to the web server and an HTML response.
It’s playing the man and not the ball. Argue the point not the publisher. You’re arguing the point here, which is correct. Thinking that you can reject the point by diminishing the publisher is definitely a logical fallacy.

I had no idea that you "don't think it's for demographics in their favor".
This completely discredits the idea that politicians might consider the electoral impact of decisions they make (or intentionally dont make).
And you've used a buzzword like "dog-whistley" which makes your argument twice as powerful.

Definitely not good. You don't want this sort of thing floating around.
Unhelpful is very different from wrong.

Just as simplified does not mean reduced. It can align and help understanding, even if incomplete.
They say they are aiming to support it at some point in the far future (they still have to implement support for the SEP firmware in order for this to be possible, as far as I know).

Granted, that might as well be never.
Just amazing graphics, it is graphics isn't it.
Their videos on armies from a year or so back was also impressive.
Yeah, that’s likely the idea. The rock is more to protect from radiation, cosmic rays and punctures than to capture the atmosphere. I’d probably build it in multiple layers too. Low pressure on the outside and mounting pressure in internal domes.
If you’re courting customers who don’t value your service, you’re charging too little.

For personal service businesses like coaching, as well as for many idiosyncratic products, people use price as a cue for quality and value. Charging more informs customers that that they are paying for something valuable and they use this information when making assessments of your work and reflecting on their own satisfaction.

Low prices appeal to people with strained budgets and/or people who are reluctant to invest very much in the service they are looking to receive. By need or desire, they inherently want to get as much as they can for as little as they can.

These customers, generally, suck.

If you want customers who are less value-sensitive, you want customers who aren’t too worried about money and who are used to paying good money for good services. Your higher price will be familiar and unthreatening to them, and it will start them off with the idea that you do good enough work to deserve it.

That said, you need to be able to back up what you’re selling. You need to actually do good work to charge good rates to have good customers.

The hardest time of any independent service career is the beginning, when you actually don’t do very good work yet and do need to charge discount rates to be honest about your quality. You do middling and inconsistent work, that challenges your skill, for the worst kind of customers, and somehow need to grind through it long enough to get better and come to charge more.

So if you’re still at that stage, the advice is: stick with it. It just gets better as you get better, provided you can start courting better customers as you grow.

And if you’re past that stage and are still getting bad customers: raise your fricking rates.
There's no upper limit to government spending when they can just add some numbers to a database, it's just how much inflation the country can tolerate and whether anyone will accept a wheelbarrow of toilet paper currency in exchange for goods and services that people want.

Brazil and Zimbabwe found this out the hard way, but a lot of people really don't understand how times can be hard when the numbers keep going up because they neglect to consider inflation and the government has an interest in managing down the real numbers and mumbling something about "greed" while they enact policies that effectively create huge, regressive taxes.

You asked for an alternative way to cook food; would it not suffice for that?

The advantage is that there is no grid dependency. People in Texas also lost gas during the blackouts because it was quite limited also used for electrical generation. It wouldn't surprise me if an earthquake could upset gas infrastructure in the bay area. Or some other disaster.
Since the only sense that “person” matters to ad hominem really is as an entity making an argument, a corporation (or any other collective entity, with or without juridical personhood) is a person in the sense required for the fallacy to apply.

(Also, juridical persons and natural persons are a lot more similar than US states and states of matter; it is not just a distantly related etymology; the former literally refers to having legal attributes of the latter.)

Is there any work to make records actually usable out of the box?

Things like copying or creating derived records are a huge pain (or slight pain with code generators) while other languages have solved this long ago (even JS and C#).
I trivially made it make an illegal move it my very first game, on the third move, just by deliberately playing weird moves:

No, it's ridiculous to say "oh, a blindfolded human might sometimes make a mistake." No, this is trivially easy to make it make a mistake. It has no internal chess model at all, it's just read enough chess games to be able to copy common patterns.

Seems strange that this would need to be explained to anyone.
Article is from 2021. And the last nuke lost was in 1968. Wondering if all the nukes lost are still viable as a weapon?
4chan only (sorta) works at a small scale, which it is. It's a niche. "No normies!"
I wont dispute the benefits to vertical integration, but I still think there is benefit into keeping things modular as well. I've been working on an application for the past five years that's stayed afloat partially because keeping things small and not becoming over reliant on any one library.

Regarding the link, I most likely wouldn't consider routing and bundling to be in that list. Sever integration currently doesn't apply to me, since our app is one of the cases where CSR makes more sense.
It's very easy to give into FUD when it comes to AI because of how much of a wildcard it is. I see no evidence of that in GP which is indeed pretty rare.
And if you do any IO with bytebuffers or library that does that -> you simply gonna have a bad time with native memory usage which is 10x as convoluted as selecting GC and carring only about the heap.

And best part, every month there is a new bug released in regards to NMT reporting stupid memory usage that is hard to track coz regular metrics dont expose it.

So you have to enable NMT which in most cases is a straight 5-10% performance degradation.

And for latency use ZGC or Shanondoah.

And dont forget 50 jvm flags to tweak memory usage of various parts of memory that can negatively impact your production like caches, symbol tables, metaspace, thread caches, buffer caches and other.

God I hate that so much. Just let me set one param for memory and lets be over with it.
Perhaps the fact that the food could literally be poison for the person eating it? And if this person has no communication skills...

At least when you're 3 and talking you can be more clear about what's going on with your body if there's a problem.

"Why give them any food at all" is a very glib reply to them. I'll let you figure out why people might avoid certain foods and not others, and why people feed small children
Correct. Moon dust is also terrible for rubber seals and other things used to create airtight environments.
Nice work getting this out there!

>> I'm guessing this is in the category of "Productivity Apps", the closest competitors seems to be apps like Evernote

This is the part that stood out to me most. You seem unsure of your competitors and so you'll have limited understanding of your market and target customers. I'd start by validating the user's problem and then ensuring the product does that.

As a heavy Notion user, I'd also be curious how I can leverage what I've already built there.
Oh man, while we got a lot done with MFC, I scorned the macro mess that VC++ generated. To this day I detest C/C++ macros and never use them in my own code.

But years later, when I had to switch to the Mac and Project Builder, I couldn't believe how half-assed its integration with Interface Builder was. You couldn't even drag from a control in your UI layout to your view's source code to generate a code stub. You had to manually type stuff like IBOUTLET. And there was no bi-directional updating either, of course. It has gotten a lot better since. Meanwhile, whereas I used to love the Visual Studio IDE itself, I find the same ridiculous bugs in it that I reported 20 years ago...
Those comments about employment are indeed laughable and I bookmark them as well. We're at near full employment despite the invention of mechanized farming, electricity, the printing press, cars, the computer, the Internet, etc. I was referring to people who are in denial about the rapid progress of AI, and the impact it is going to have in coming years.

[0] Until we reach AGI, but I don't dare attempt to predict when this is going to happen.
That's a great example. Or, some people respond better to a stern therapist, and some better to a gentle therapist, and so forth. And, as mystickphoenix said, what sort of therapy they offer makes a big difference.

One thing that a therapist friend mentioned was that if you go see one, and they're just not working for you, to tell the therapist what it is that isn't fitting well. They very likely know a number of different therapists and may be able to point you to someone more suitable.
I'm guessing the nuclear material is!

The bombs themselves must be useless by now?

I dont know anything whatsoever about any of it.

But at a guess I'd wager the Plutonium and Uranium is still good! :-)

I'd actually be surprised if any of them were viable as a weapon.
There's no particular limit to JVM, you can use all available memory if you like.

For best performance you can decompose your structure to primitive fields (int, float, char, etc) and create array for every field. So you have, say, 10 arrays with million items each. Instead of creating one array which holds pointers to another 10 million objects on the heap. It gets tricky with strings (you need to flatten all strings into a giant char[] array and keep two arrays with index and length data, but doable.

Though 10 million of records might be OK for JVM. Measure your GC times.

I'd suggest to hide implementation details behind API, start with ArrayList<MyRecord> and refactor it later if needed.
This often has little or nothing to do with SPAs though. Quoted tweets on Twitter on twitter.com, for example, can’t be right- or middle-clicked for…absolutely no good reason. They just don’t render an <a>. Yet twitter.com is an SPA, and the little “30m” time indicator on a tweet is a fully working <a> that can be right- and middle-clicked and also does a client navigation when clicked normally.
> You commission the device on an air-gapped device. If you type the password on a network-connected computer you’re doing it wrong.

This is a pretty unrealistic requirement for a purported Yubikey alternative. This assumption/requirement also not mentioned anywhere in its manual, as far as I can tell.

There are ways to get secure backups of hardware authenticators (or even HSMs), but they generally require some form of secure I/O. I don't see how it would be possible with a Yubikey-like device, unless you're fine with entering a high-entropy secret using on-device buttons.

> Bonus points for physically destroying the computer you commission the device on. It’s just like commissioning an HSM.

I've worked with HSMs, and there is no need for any destruction of hardware (unless you consider the paper sometimes used for ZMK key exchanges hardware).
As far as I'm aware, one of the main benefits of talking to someone is that when you hear your own words through your ears, rather than internally, different parts of the brain get a chance to process them, you get another point of view literally. Secondly, yes - another person can hear you who is educated enough and will be able to challenge your beliefs which are likely invisible and self limiting.
Lots a hand-wavy examples written by someone who does not strike me as having expertise in this.

If I’m a 30 YO software developer today what would be my hedge if this timeline is accurate?

My best guess is to reduce spending and save as much as possible.
The Millionaire Fastlane: Book Review
Fullstack react frameworks aren't purely SSR - they're isomorphic JS apps, which can render an initial page load serverside, then use clientside routing, suspense, serverside components, and clientside rehydration to progressively update the DOM without a full page refresh.

They are basically delivered as SPAs, with an integrated, isomorphic backend-for-frontend service embedded in the origin server.

They just don't feel like SPAs, because they have a multipage (routing) framework, and isomorphic rendering means those paths can be directly loaded from the server - while any subsequent navigation just updates your UI clientside.

In the case of static conteent-based sites, that SSR can even be done ahead of time, as a static built-time render, and the pieces of data needed to load different pieces of content into the SPA ('pages') get dumped out as static JSON resources. That's what Gatsby offers particularly as its specialty versus next.js.
Please explain your logic.
This kind of reminds me of a modern version of Scarfolk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarfolk) although real.

I guess it's one of those game theory things. Individually each of us can improve our lives by "defecting" and ignoring the news. But if we all "cooperate" by consuming a lot of news then we have better odds of voting in ways that actually improve the world. An interesting moral dilemma: is it right to become a low-information voter in order to be happier?

(I am not judging your choices. I honestly don't know the correct answer.)
It's all about quality, not quantity—call me when you can do what jart does with a LLM. Actually, don't call me, I'll be in a bunker by then
Good for some who know how to navigate self help setups. Opens up lower cost options.
For example cheap cell phone plans exist because of mostly self service, order sim online and setup online with no physical store and only mediocre phone support.
Same with low cost airlines.

Bad for those who have trouble navigating things online, often the elderly.
Thanks for the links.

Is it bad to upvote an article on HN, just because I think the comment quality is enlightening? Philosophers professing to be scientists has been troubling me more and more the past few years.

Also, gotta say many of the top comments are pretty interesting here.

If US lost "only" 6, one has to wonder how many the Soviets may have lost. Are these bombs still usable? When they decay on some seabed for decades what happens eventually?
None of them are. The material in the weapons needs to be highly enriched to work, and through physics of radioactive decay it's slowly turning itself into less enriched version which wouldn't explode. Nuclear bombs have to be serviced at least once a decade to remain functional. Not to mention that they are incredibly precise devices and any crash will have undoubtedly damaged them beyond any possible repair. The worst you could do with a recovered core is turn it into a dirty bomb(bomb which uses conventional explosives to spread radioactive material around), but any group interested in doing that could surely procure radioactive material without recovering 50 year old bombs from the bottom of the ocean.
He's in Europe, so by "van" he means the vehicle at the top of [1], which is by far the first choice for most people who need to carry significant tools or equipment for their job.

The second choice is an ordinary station wagon / estate car with the rear windows optionally replaced by metal panels. (Possibly more secure, in some countries also less vehicle tax.) These usually have something like "Network installer" or some sort of engineer written on the side -- some tools, but not so bulky and probably further to drive between jobs.

Reading the explanations it gives with every move is really insightful. Basically polished, elaborate bullshit that might look reasonable to an ignorant audience.

Unless you are a conservative pundit, AI will not take your job anytime soon.
Tax attorney here. The "audit representation" is worthless.
No - both decay slowly into their less enriched isotopes which wouldn't explode. They can be re-manufactured into weapons-grade material again, but any state which has the facilities to do this has the facilities to create fresh cores.
Feel free to use “ad entitatem” instead. I don’t think it diminishes the point in any way.
Possibly north of 200 W(elec.)/kg [0]. (I can't assess this stuff personally, but it's some MIT person's PhD thesis, so I assume some baseline credibility). Key distinction: you're looking at a conservative kilowatt-scale proposal, one which isn't intended for propulsion. But propulsion-optimized designs are on the megawatt scale: and the mass/power scaling is sub-linear.

Need help testing a status system
Hi, I'm Eric Chamberlain. I developed a system called "At Your Service." It's aim is to supersede other status systems such as nagios, cacti, etc.

In essence, the system is designed to tell you the status of every system (software, hardware) in your organization and alert you when issues arise. It's main sell is the System Graph. It is possible to create logical associations between systems, link dependencies, etc.

It's still early in development but provides a great deal of flexibility. You can "collect" data from any "data source" and alert on it by setting thresholds.

It also integrates with alerting platforms such as NewRelic and Embrace (to ingest external alerts). It should be easy to add others.

There is an iOS app that acts as your "Auxiliary Control Center." You can download it on the App Store here (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ys/id1603918692) or search for "@ys". There is a "Connect as Guest" to try out at the sign in page. It's by far the best UI you may see for this type of system. I want to create something you will enjoy using that provides value.

If you're interested, hit me up! I will do the integration work, hosting, etc. for free. At this point I'm trying to understand what the market (you) needs.

These criticisms are still ubiquitous because these sites are still ubiquitous.

If you are contributing, isn’t it open-source by default? Or you mean you have ‘proprietary-ish’ (since it’s all client side, kind of impossible) packages that aren’t part of opentelemetry yet?
Bravo, I agree with all your points.

React frameworks are mostly hype in order to justify using a particular PaaS. They’ve hired all the influencers and using it to their advantage.

There definitely are good reasons to use SSR and these frameworks, but a fully interactive web app that acts like a desktop app isn’t one of them.

All of that to say I have no issues with it and react is still awesome. It’s a view _library_ and works great for its relatively restrained API. Most of the new features are opt-in and I don’t really touch them (besides hooks).

The study isn't about news but rather clickbait shitposting on Upworthy. I don't refute the claim, partly because positive news are rarely extraordinary, but the paper isn't about news. It does however show that an incorrect headline can go a long way when trying to get attention on social media as long as the claim aligns with the voters.
Given the last bomb was lost in 1968, this is just fear mongering.
