MUI to Emotion was probably not the best example, but Emotion to CSS Modules is more relevant to my point.

And to be clear, I despise MUI, and actually did migrate from it to Emotion, which was relatively easy because it uses Emotion under the hood. But what I'm getting at with the example of Emotion to CSS Modules, is that they both use standard CSS and the differences are mostly around where it's defined and how it's loaded. Migrating wouldn't be a piece of cake, but it would be mostly a matter of moving blocks of code around, and could be largely automated. Whereas with Tailwind, the utility classes are only meaningful as long as you're fully plugged into the Tailwind ecosystem. There is no "eject" button, AFAIU.

So you’ll come up with hypothetical reasons you don’t like it, instead of just trying something which is loved by many people, and seeing if you actually like it.

I've tried making this same point when it comes to auto designs (at least in the competitive, cost-sensitive ones). A lot of mid-sized cars look the same because the design constraints generally converge on the same handful of principles. They've converged not in the aesthetic sense as much as the engineering sense: because they work at a relatively low cost.

(I'm speaking mainly about things like aerodynamics here, not necessarily EV-vs-ICE etc.)

The only downside I see is that going through the deployment process, it seems that the smallest instance I can provision is 2vCPU/16GB which if I'm looking at the pricing table correctly, equates to $230/mo. for a single instance.

The web console only lets me create a cluster with minimum 2 instances so it seems like I'm looking at $460 minimum to deploy Alloy. That feels a bit excessive.
Why do you want crypto regulated? I thought the goal of crypto is to free you from regulation and government control.

If crypto is regulated, your crypto can be seized, frozen, held, and so on.. Why regulate it?
Can you explain it now? I'll give it a shot now. The minimal KL divergence should be equivalent to the maximum likelihood just another way to express/compute it.

The reasonable solution that people in the US arrive at is to avoid going to physicians at all costs.
I recently found out that a simple blood test at the physicians office costs ~$600 (with insurance), along with all of the annoyance of dealing with setting up the appointments waiting for several months, waiting on insurance, the trouble and time off work to get there - all for a material that takes a few minutes to extract and few moments to run.

Due to the cost I was curious, and found out that I could literally purchase all of the FDA-approved* lab equipment for my house and run tests on myself for less cost than it was to go to a physicians office. The physician (i.e. expertise) is irrelevant here (almost always are) as the most input I've ever seen provided by one amounts to 'take an Aleve if you're hurting'.

Home labs are likely where the future is headed, and it's the fault of the medical industry being so utterly useless.
I've been through most medschool (neurology-focused) courses, and most physicians or any medical professional uses essentially zero of that knowledge.
It's not a bug, it's intended behavior.

The official release of ZFS on Linux I believe only supports kernel 5.x. Since arch is always on the cutting edge, the repo maintainers need to manually test the driver with each new kernel release before pushing it out to the world. They stop you from borking your system in the interim by having a strict version requirement for Linux on the zfs package. Pacman only does that check, though, once the -Sy operation has finished
Geologically, New Guinea is part of Australia (the continent), being part of a contiguous section of continental crust. New Zealand, however, is not, forming instead its own "microcontinent" (sometimes Zealandia). A couple of rivers in NG do in fact make the list. But Australians don't generally realize they sit on the same ground as Papuans.
Going to the gas station every week sounds horrific. I'd rather wait a bit on the one trip I take every other year than be forced to go to the gas station in the winter instead of plugging in when I get home.
I can't recommend EndeavourOS enough. You get all the good parts of Arch with an easy to use graphical installer, XFCE or another DE + great Nvidia support out of the box.
>Basically all foods are cells so they contain all the normal cellular machinery like DNA. As long as lab grown meat is just normal animal cells nothing new is going on.

We managed to fuck this up without going that far for vegetables and there's no considering additives or lab grown differences there. It's definitely all cells and dna.

You are talking some decent ideas but I do not agree on the Heracleum mantegazzianum point (we use to call it borschevik).

1. Any invasive specie known today is about transporting an organism, evolutionally willing to live from one place to another. GMO organism aren't evolutionally willing to live, they just genetically willing to give us better tomatoes.

2. Absence of non-GMO is not a problem at all if I still have an access to bleeding-edge reproductionable seeds as it happens today. The problem is in patent system, what if the cost of bleeding-edge seeds will be costing so much that small farmers with expensive and not yummy non-GMO will be out of market? Have you seen any vegetable before selection? Nobody needs the corn with few grains while we use to have a corn with few hundrends of grains. Even the most green-headed crackpot on the planet will not grow that in 21th century.

3. I do not believe that all plants harvested from GMO are _really_ sterile. Since they use to have a reproductive system so all kinds of mutations are possible if something with CRISPR/Cas9 goes wrong. And there are some experiments with attempt to spread some modified genes to something like all the malary mosquitoes [1] . There are some GMO even among humans, and that humans are not sterile [2]

YouTube lately has this issue where the back button just doesn't work at all. I click to take me back to search results and nothing happens; I click again and then I see whatever I had opened prior to YouTube.

Also Google Shopping doesn't let me change my search terms: I type something new, press enter, and nothing happens.

And Google Search has been showing the wrong dates for Reddit threads, showing older posts than the time range I selected.

All of these issues have shown up only in the past month or two (maybe massive layoffs lead to massive mistakes?).

So, Flatpak and Snap solve the problem of wanting to run stale software? That ought to be a very niche requirement, I would think.

I was under the impression that Debian already solved that problem by allowing you to deploy an older Debian version in a chroot with debootstrap? As long as the Linux kernel is binary compatible, that should work fine. Although I have to admit I don't use stale software that often, so I have little experience in that area.

This is why we should be focused on PHEVs, not BEVs. PHEVs use 1/10th the batteries, batteries cost 1/10th, take 1/10th the energy and time to charge, but provide electric driving for 90% of trips.

If we build 10 PHEVs with the batteries it would take to build one BEV, instead of saving 100% of one vehicle's fuel usage, we could build 10 PHEVs and save 10 x 90% = 900% fuel usage.

Manjaro was a very smooth transition from an ubuntu-based system (neon, in fact) for me.
New coverage never explicitly mentions this, but there are two camps at odds with each other:

In one camp, we have people at organizations like Microsoft/OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and maybe Baidu that have successfully developed and trained large-scale AI systems with hundreds of billions to trillions of trained parameters. People in this camp are not too worried about societal risks, but I wonder if it's because to them the rapid improvement in AI capabilities look like a shiny rainbow with a big "pot of gold" (money, fame, glory, etc.) on the other side.

In the other camp, we have people at other organizations, including every academic institution, who have yet to develop and train a large-scale AI system with hundreds of billions to trillions of trained parameters. People in this camp are writing open letters about societal risks. These people sound sensible, but I wonder if they're worried because the rainbow is protected by a giant wall, and they see themselves as being outside that wall (e.g., they lack the budget).

Well, I've had to stop people from introducing it into our projects before, so it is something I have to deal with. I won't passionately advocate against it, but I did enough research and have enough experience to recognize when something will not be worth it to me. And I don't know why you would classify these legitimate points against it as "hypothetical," because as far as I can tell they're solidly grounded in reality.

The central argument of its value seems to be "you need to try it to understand it," and I just don't find that to be a compelling argument. It doesn't claim to solve any problems that I recognize in my current workflow of writing well-scoped styled components.
LXD is a legit product. Too bad they only ship it as snaps. I think Debian finally has packages for it but I haven't tested it.

Almost all resources are talking about it in an lxd context nowadays.

> I think we're ignoring the very real possibility that ancient people were constantly living with some level of gastrointestinal problems.

We do know that humanity from its earliest days over the Rome Empire [1] up to, what, maybe a century or even less ago has had massive infestations of all kinds of parasites, including gastrointestinal.

Would it be possible that these parasites actually could have a symbiotic relationship, in helping to break down spoiled food?

How can the change CSS feedback loop get any faster? I change a CSS value and it automatically updates in the browser, seems like about how fast it can be.

Creating a "well defined color palette" is usually a part of the design-process when creating a new application/website. I understand that some people prefer the Bootstrap-process of already having a bunch of colors defined for you up front, but it certainly doesn't suit every project.

Plus personally, I don't miss the times when Bootstrap was trendy and every website basically looked the same. I like the individuality of the framework-less web.
My local library has a limit of having 100 books on hold (which I hit during 2020 lockdowns when there were closed for a while). My current hold list is ~60, and the system allows you to put 'pause' a hold until a certain day so that they don't all arrive at once: so I have holds going out to July.

By the system also has a "saved" books feature where it allows you to simply bookmark stuff of interest (and categorize/tag them) but not ask the library to deliver them. My saved list is ~1200. I don't expect to actually get to them, but I have options for my next item.

(I long ago gave up buying books (except in very rare cases) just because I don't have space.)

100% hear you. I realize this may sound hollow coming from a Google employee, but stay tuned on specifics around licensing and costs. Being a tech preview, there's been virtually no discussion on specifics yet. We just wanted to get the tech in folks' hands.

actually, basic being so slow might be some kind of good feature. one of the first programs i ever wrote was an implementation of conway's game of life in basic on a z80 cp/m machine. i was unhappy with the results. this made me learn z80 assembler so i could get it to run much, much faster.

but probably, looking back from old age, what i should have done was improve the algorithms i was using.

i think basic is a good thing. perhaps a bit sad that people today do not have instant access to it.

This was my last straw. I installed some 6 month old LTS release, and it had to go through a 2-5 second timeout step on the initial lookup of each new dns name. Then, it would populate a local cache, and work well until the TTL expired or whatever.

> it's the enormous amount of land we clearcut and leave basically empty so they can graze.

This is typical vegan misinformation to appeal to people who are concerned about global warming (as we should).

Land that's used for grazing is typically land which can't be used for other purposes. People don't grow grass on flat fields of black soil because it doesn't make economic sense.

Additionally, animals are also fed the leftovers that people don't eat. That is, when you grow corn, we eat the grain, and the rest of the plant (leaves and all) is given to animals. Without livestock that food would just be wasted.

These are just some of the many ways vegans mislead.
No, it frees you up to spend your energy on thinking about what the right thing to build is. If your head is buried in code all the time, that's when you can't stop and look at the bigger picture and ask if you're building the wrong thing or not.

I don't agree on the cost cutting argument: preparing a wall of exposed brick is certainly more expensive than simply slapping another coat of paint onto it, industrial artefacts of the past have become sought after items and are selling at good prices, and what has once been available as barely designed, locally produced base-line products is now selling as designer items.

I'd argue, the element of cultural alignment to the universally accepted is predominant, regardless of the price.

(As often, the simple, DIY-style, apparently cheap, is actually more costly. As a fancy example, once VW/Audi sold the same platform twice, once as the more elaborate Audi 80, once as the more base-line, economic VW Passat. Both variants shared the same dashboard with minor variations: the Audi came with sleek control lights behind a smooth cover, whereas the Passat exhibited its economic appeal by a group of bare lamps in the cavities of a basic, moulded plastic base board. However, the Audi dashboard was considerably cheeper to produce, with just a printed sheet of plastic snapping onto the mounts, while the economic appeal of the Passat afforded lights of varying color and a complex moulding of the plastic inlays.)

Ask HN: Should open source projects track you?
Hello everyone, I'm the maintainer of an open-source DeveloperTool (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp)

With a heuristic of 7000 users daily, I started feeling the need to have more information on how Users are using the project to improve it.

Is it the right thing to do to create a better Developer Experience and gain feedback for the end users?

On a side:
"it's acceptable for open source software not to work is a great thing. This makes it easy for anyone to contribute because there are no hurdles from what your work must include or not include - it's up to you. Mistakes, or half-baked projects included. You can't have innovation without a lot of people being able to contribute and make mistakes, or give up."

As pointed out in the PostHog article below, I extracted some important passage:

"From a utilitarian perspective, We believe that tracking the minimum data possible to build useful technology, in a way that doesn't share that data with 3rd parties, means that you have the right approach to product analytics in your open source project."

In most cases tracking user data to enrich functionalities means you have to deal with an opt-out/opt-in setting (like VSCode does) to get data to the open-source project's maintainers; developers are the most sensitive people regarding data.

I've never added this tracking on the Desktop App since I'm worried about the community's reaction. And this is a direct message to them.

Is it right to have people helping the growth of the open-source project by tracking only fewer data to improve stability and functionality?

"All tracking is bad, many say. We disagree. Done right, it enables more and better software in the world. When it's applied to open source, it often enables more free software for anyone to use."

P.S. I'm not yet a user of PostHog, but I want to congrats with them on the article, and the best way (if it is a good thing) to track open-source data is to do it with an open-source project too.

All the references are from the below blog post.
Great article, guys! => https://posthog.com/blog/open-source-telemetry-ethical
Not sure about snap, but at least for Flatpak, it has runtimes and runtime extensions that Flatpaks can share, which already reduces the individual Flatpak size. But further more, all runtime, extensions and Flatpaks live in a single OSTree repository on the system, which does automatic de-duplication on the file level.

While probably still less efficient than a properly maintained and integrated distro, where all software uses a single set of shared core libraries, its actually (in the Flatpak case) quite optimized & has additional benefits, such as installing a set of apps that don't share a common set of required library versions, which would normally be impossible.

Any UI beyond trivial lists will couple style and content.

You have a card? Boom, you need to couple styles for the title, for the content, for the footer etc.

You have a form? Boom, you need to couple styles with the form.

The idea that styles are somehow decoupled from content is funny idea that very rarely works out in practice.
