> A fancy 10GBe switch without any flow control or collision detection is basically useless.

basic 10Gbit switch works far better than fancy 1Gbit switch in vast majority of cases. Only if you need single digit ms jitter while running storage loads on same switch does it start to matter.

It's also absolutely terrible comparision at every level because

* now even lower end switches can sustain max speed between every port at once, while traffic often have clear bottlenecks

* pentalty for stopping traffic (by congestion) for 10ms is 10ms delay. Stopping car traffic (with say red light) means multiple second delay till everyone gets up to speed. Even single car acting badly can make massive traffic wave slowing down people behind them for minute or more.

Hey,

I wouldn't consider it diatribe - just general observations.

I don't know exactly how much food is exported, I don't know how much nitrogen is emitted. Neither does anybody else unless they pay for access to the article or look it up in external sources, let alone be educated enough to interpret the data.

I know that there's people starving right now in third world countries due to lack of supply or high cost of food. There's also a rising number of people starving in first world countries that can't afford to eat or are relying on food banks.

There's an active conflict in a country that exports large amounts of grain for world consumption.

It just seems very short-sighted to cut back on food production when there's likely other ways to limit nitrogen emissions - in any capacity.

I'm coming from a western American/Canadian background of politics, where a majority of our representatives almost completely align with corporate interests instead of the individual.

Maybe things are different in the Netherlands.

I would hope that generational farming knowledge doesn't get lost by buying out these farmers. I don't like how governments have the power/rights to buy-out farmers and their land (at least, that's what I'm assuming, because I can't read the article, and it's similar to what's been proposed in other countries looking at pushing similar ideas).
Agreed, but it does not make sense to add in absurd/burner requests and then attract all kinds of bad PR for your previously serious negotiating effort.

My only real gripe with hamburgers is inconsistent implementations with various "works on browser X and Y, but not Z." On top of that, not many (or no one?) has take advantage of publishing web components that aren't framework-dependent, so not only are there inconsistent implementations of hamburgers, some implementations require managing multiple js/css frameworks.
Unfortunately, not going to happen. Even though they were a bad idea ten years ago, and still a bad idea now, with them being forced down everyone's throats over the course of a decade, they've become a standard that users expect and understand, much to their chagrin.

It's a a nice case study, as with ipv6. You can ignore the needs and wants of your users, force-feed them crap, and as long as you standardize that crap, the user will eventually submit, for better or worse.

Local Makerspace hosts a Q3A / UT2k4 lan night monthly to try and raise extra money to keep them going. Finding little local events like this has been very helpful ever since I dropped out of a lot of the usual hobby communities (cars, warhammer, TCG's) over the years.

I find I deal well with isolation as long as I get occasional chances to go socialize with friends. Even if its just grabbing lunch or sharing passion project updates.

It's a weirder suggestion, but you can even try going to a convention and meeting random people. Whether its for Anime, Hacking, Furries, etc getting back to going to my yearly convention gatherings is a nice reminder of being alive after two years of some of them going virtual due to COVID-19.
The most basic aspect of the hamburger menu, which the "sitemap footer" lacks, is that it toggles. You click on the hamburger icon to open the menu and then you click the same icon in the same place again to close it.
There are always marginal customers who are barely hanging on, and already angry with Apple for whatever reason, and seeing a tip screen may finally throw them over the edge. Imagine an example where someone came in for a warranty repair, got told it had some very minor water damage, and so it was not covered, and now has to pay $499 for a repair they feel should have been free (let's assume the water "damage" has nothing to do with the issue) and the payment screen for the repair says "add a tip?" I could see that person never buying a new iPhone, or at least never stepping foot in that store again.
placing the links at the bottom is very bizzare and not a great improvement to accessibility because nobody in the world expects those links there and its hard to even scroll there. If one is worried about accessibility maybe have both, why not, because I found the footer to be less intuitive and convenient.
User research doesn't show that anything is good or bad, full stop. User research shows that things are good or bad for a particular use case or audience. That's why companies have user research teams - because there are few universal principles, and it's important to understand what's best for your users in your context to achieve your objectives.

I don't think it is just hatred of tipping culture--although that is there too--but also a general skepticism about unions. Unions have a pretty severe credibility problem among significant pieces of the HN crowd, and this proposal is so absurd that it makes the problem worse.
>Be somewhere where people congregate repeatedly. Regular at a pub, bouldering gym, arts meetup. Really anything where you'll see the same people consistently.

Agreed. If you're introverted, find a "club" or sport that you enjoy and just start participating. You automatically become part of the circle, in my experience.
We've been using similar architecture at Yahoo for many years now. We tried to go all in on a React framework that worked on the server and client, but the client was extremely slow to bootstrap due to downloading/parsing lots of React components, then React needing to rehydrate all the data and re-render the client. Not to mention rendering an entire React app on the server is a huge bottleneck for performance (can't wait for Server Components / Suspense which are supposed to make this better ... aside: we had to make this architecture ourselves to split up one giant React render tree into multiple separate ones that we can then rehydrate and attach to on the client)

We've moved back to an MPA structure with decorated markup to add interactivity like scroll views, fetching data, tabs and other common UX use cases. If you view the source on yahoo.com and look for "wafer," you can see some examples of how this works. It helps to avoid bundle size bloat from having to download and compile tons of JS for functionality to work.

For a more complex, data-driven site, I still think the SPA architecture or "islands" approach is ideal instead of MPA. For our largely static site, going full MPA with a simple client-side library based on HTML decorations has worked really well for us.

> 45 days a year for pet bereavement? If it includes goldfish, I'm in!

This is a bad read of this.

While 45 days is ... huge, the inclusion of pets and friends is almost certainly a result of companies who refuse to let anyone grieve when their friend dies.

As someone who has lost _way too many_ people in the last 18 months and only 1 of them being immediate family, having those others considered not worth mourning according to the company is just repulsive.

If some exceptional edge case comes where someone abuses the system for goldfish, that's worth the cost if I can grieve when my dog of 7 years or my best friend of 25 dies.

I guess you came in for the later version of vice.com.

Vice was more sybaritic than political. It started as a Montreal punk zine (on newsprint!) with politics I'd call gen-x party-art-anarchist more than anything easily mapped to US left/right axes. You'll also note there were lots of libertarians voting for Trump, whose libertarianism is focused on drugs and the age of consent. It's a big tent, and there are lots of fascie hipsters. Just look at their haircuts!

But people change as they age, and partying for the sake of partying is a gruelling habit. I love this line: "In their pitch to me, Shane literally said, ‘I’m tired of doing blow on naked models. I want to do something that matters,’ ” says Kate Albright-Hanna, a filmmaker who joined the company in 2009 after working on the Obama campaign."

I would try to enlarge the browser window to see if the full menu shows. Nope.

Network Partitioning Solved for Paxos – With OmniPaxos
My introverted ass spends at least 6 hours a year for the last decade wondering if I should install a Customer Relationship Management program to use on my friends.

I mirror other people, always have. If they are happy to see me, I'm happy to see them. But if they don't call, I don't call. If we are both introverts we collectively decide that the other person thinks we're a toad and nobody likes us. If it weren't for the "Extrovert who collects introverts" trope I'd probably have no friends at all (or at least, prior to volunteering). There are a bunch of people I only ever see when we both show up at a third person's house or event.
By the sounds of that article there needs to be more work done on applying abstract notions of complexity to the real world and developing suitable methods for this.

Maybe. But not on my "Please God Make It Stop" list.

- Stop using hovers when there's no indication I need to hover to see what I need.

- Stop using hover that requires mousing over a limited sweet spot (else the nav closes)

- Stop with your over zealous forms.

- Stop with your forms that give ambiguous errors.

- Stop with the loading spinners for pages that aren't that content heavy

Etc.

- Stop having required form inputs and not making that clear.
How is having a button that jumps you to the bottom of the page different than a button that opens an offscreen menu? I'm not sure this argument scales particularly well.
Using a footer as a replacement for a nav bar is ridiculous. Which requires more interaction? Clicking a button to see available actions or scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page (and making the bold assumption that you happen to know that the menu is at the bottom)?

If you’ve got sufficient space at the top of your page to show your nav items, especially for larger window sizes, just show them instead of hiding them away behind a menu. But if you have limited space, like on mobile, a hamburger menu is a fine solution.
I agree. Start using Taco Menus!
This is the real problem, and why I'd argue we've made little real progress in tooling despite huge investment in it.

The web still requires too much code and concepts to be an enjoyable dev experience, much less one that you can hold in your head. Web frameworks don't really fix this, they just pile leaky abstractions on that require users to know the abstractions as well as the things they're supposed to abstract.

It seems like it is difficult to truly move webdev forward because you have to sell to people who have already bought into the inessential complexity of the web fully. The second you try to take part of that away from them, they get incensed and it triggers loss aversion.
Their brand value is worth billions of dollars, right now. Sure they could screw it up, but they objectively have produced a massively positive ROI

I actually am concerned about all of those things! Everyone should have their needs met, at the expense of those who have more than enough to meet their needs.

It's not really relevant to this conversation though, which is about the children of divorced parents, and how we've chosen to mediate their rights under the current system.

The problem with what I think you're proposing is who gets to decide what is a reasonable minimum amount for a given area? or a comfortable amount? Have you seen the poverty line calculations, or the asset limitations on disabled people? The state is not good at carrying this responsibility.

The current system leaves it up to the parents. Not what the parents say they want post-separation, but how they actually acted. That's why it's based on pre-split allocations.
Enough with this bullshit.

This brand of disingenuous whining reads like someone complaining the police pull them over for no reason when they were actually crossing a red light, and they still have the gall to play the victim card.
Adjusted for inflation, $7.25 in January 2009 (when it was last set) has the equivalent purchasing power of $10.36 in March 2023. I live in a part of the country where many jobs pay $9-10 an hour despite rent being $600/month for a room.

So are you saying that ChatGPT will probably offer to write an htmx app in bash?

> I'm sorry, but it's not possible to write a weather forecast app using bash and htmx as htmx is a client-side technology and bash is a command-line shell. htmx is typically used in conjunction with HTML and JavaScript to create dynamic web applications.

Cuz that didn't work. It straight up forged ahead and wrote a bash script to show the weather though.

I really wonder today if ChatGPT is going to cause a bash renaissance

Small team, just getting traction (which may have contributed to its demise)

I have observed at least three forms of organizational dysfunction;

One the "wrong" group has the winning idea. In companies where a particular group is associated with a technology, a group outside that organization that comes up with a good idea gets killed rather than nurtured.

The idea is too far outside the organizations historical core competencies for leadership to appreciate the innovation it represents.

The success of a team is counter to the organizational plan of the senior leadership of the organization, resulting in killing the team/idea.

The really interesting thing is that peer teams see "ohh, that was a good idea and yet it got killed, better not work on that!" rather than "it was a mistake to kill that idea, we need to keep it alive."

These things don't happen below a certain size threshold because its still possible for the entire organization to both be aware of something and its potential. I attribute this to senior leadership at the "division" level is really focused on what is best for them and not the company but that is just a guess, of all the levels of management that I've participated in I have never been that senior in a company with that sort of scale.
An observation about the discussion immediately under "In fact, we in Ruby have several incomplete systems of type-annotations-in-disguise" - to me, that list indicates that fitting all those things into a SINGLE type system is a huge challenge. The spaces of possible types for a JSON API, an ORM, and an interactor's inputs are all different.

First aid certification is worth something. Not sure it's worth $2000/year, given that a customer who suffered a medical episode in an Apple store would probably end up suing Apple anyway, but it does add value. It's also something the union could organize as a quid pro quo. 34 weeks of severance seems wildly optimistic though.
Very true

Often for me it is just getting myself out there - you might go to a certain event and talk to nooone and feel awkward. Screw it - just KEEP GOING. Eventually people will recognize you and eventually you will start to talk to people (or them to you). The key is just to be consistent and friendly.
Elsewhere we have “We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI” [1] and it doesn't paint a bright future for OpenAI.

About the french refusing to speak english, I think there's also some kind of language superiority complex (and I say that as a native french speaker).

Even online in english spaces (big subreddits for example), I see french people switching back to french in the middle of a thread if they recognize each other, really rude IMO.
Tbh the keyboards at the time when the hamburger menu first showed up had symbols quite different from the symbol of the hamburger menu. And at the moment that symbol still looks different in the same way. Perhaps eventually keyboards will begin to use the hamburger menu symbol on the menu key. Probably a few do already. But I mean most keyboards.

And also the hamburger menu symbol is not so much different from all of the other “mystery meatballs” (as Lynda Weinmann called them, many many years ago) that we all know and love. Today I expect that most people will be able to recognise and know how to use the hamburger menu.
I do wonder what could've been done better.

I think trivially a pandemic response team might not be disbanded right before a pandemic. But I flew a lot in late 2019 / early 2020 and there were signs everywhere in terminals about did you recently fly to China? So clearly the threat was well known and communicated to "decision makers"; what would a pandemic team have done differently?

Moderna was in clinic trials in March [1] thats over a month before USA's Operation Warp Speed [2]. I'm not sure they could've sped up vaccine development that much.

How does adding Slack and Outlook for example makes a company own your phone?
Of course there are some challenges and some use cases where Htmx is not the best solution but I think it can scale pretty far.

You can split a large app into pages and then each page only has to care about its own parts (sub components). If you want some component to be used on multiple pages you just create it with the server technology you use and include it. The other components on the page can easily target it. You may have some problem if you change a shared component in such a way that targeting stops working. You may be able to share the targeting code to make this easier.

Full title: Virgin Islands issued subpoena to Google co-founder Larry Page in lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase over Jeffrey Epstein

What they are asking for:

“Larry Page —the co-founder and co-owner of Alphabet Inc. (Google LLC’s parent company)—is a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan” as a customer, lawyers for the USVI said in their court filing.

The subpoena to Page demands “all documents” from 2002 onward related to communication between Page and JPMorgan regarding Epstein, and all documents between Page and Epstein related to the bank.

The USVI also demands from Page “all documents reflecting or regarding Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex.”
One look at a the footer option (not disagreeing with it, btw) and I can already see product and design teams crapping on it.

I'm not sure if "helpful answer" as opposed to "answer" makes much of a difference in answer quality -- I'd believe it helps a little, just don't know that it's been studied -- but a lot of silly stuff like that does definitely make a big difference in response quality on certain tasks.
