It's worth remembering that when F9 had successfully demonstrated reusability, they were still running from reality and arguing that reusability wasn't worth pursuing. Kind of like with ULA, they aren't merely bad at assessing the competitive landscape, they actively blind themselves to it.
I would think you have something else wrong with the design. I've worked on some pretty complex and large react apps that worked flawlessly on some low-end mobile browsers. Maybe you're accidentally duplicating a LOT of dom nodes?
Sir,

I’ll leave the kettles alone because that ground has been well trod (hopefully, using the best socks).

However I am concerned that you did all this sock research and somehow did not end up with toe-socks, which of course have left and right socks (unless you are the kind of maniac who would wear a sock inside out, which I gather from your studies that you are not).
I'd like to be a writer, I like to write, I think my prose is decent. I think that's as close to being an artists as I could possibly be. I read a book once where someone became enlightened and could enlighten others through wood carvings, I think that would be really pleasant. I could also see myself teaching, I've seen what teaching can do, but I've also seen the current state of education, it would be tough, but aren't all things. There's also trades, maybe welding, or framing, architecture, something that incorporates art with manual labor--an "I did that" moment as you drive past something. Horticulture too, that's an option.
Did you read the article? It refutes almost every claim you're making and, I must say, rather convincingly so.

Yes!

I am humbled every time I look at my old code. I'm always disappointed by it. This is because I've grown since I wrote it, so that's a good thing. I don't want my best work to be behind me.

At the same time, I also have to recognize that the brilliant code I'm writing right now will look disappointing in five years.
> Finally, we cut to the chase. This is 100% true, and we should be talking about this, because it’s still not settled: do we want web pages or web apps? If both, where is the line? Can you expect something like Slack to work without JavaScript? What about a blog with interactive graphs? Should everything degrade or should some things require JS/WASM?

BINGO. At times, it seems everyone is talking through each other because we are thinking of different things: static pages, dynamic websites, web apps, etc. all require different approaches to development. Honestly, what gets me real mad is when you need to run JavaScript to see a static page, I just can't stand it, one lovely example is the blog post we are talking about which displays awful without running JavaScript, this proves that indeed HTMX is not a panacea, and you can also "hold it wrong" (the blog post in question uses HTMX in the backend).

Overall, I believe most applications do well with a graceful degradation approach similar to what Remix offers and then everyone copied (the idea of using form actions webforms-style for every interactivity, so it works with and without JavaScript). I do agree that things like Slack, Discord, Element, or otherwise things we would call web apps are acceptable to be purely SPAs or not gracefully degrade without it enabled, the biggest problem I have with these is that they exist as web clients in the first place: the world would be a different place if approaches such as wxWidgets has paid off and gotten adopted, imagine how many slow and bloated web apps could've been beautiful and fast native applications. One can dream. I'm not that pessimistic, not yet.
i remember an interview with Tom Mueller (sorry no link) where he was talking about Musk and how he insisted on face sealing pintle injectors for the Merlin engine. Everyone was telling him it couldn't be done but, as Tom put it, "it turns out, it got done."

may not have that exactly right but hte point is Elon, at least in the early days of SpaceX, was definitely more than a salesman.

> No one in their right mind would say something like "chairs are an illusion". This isn't the case when it comes to phenomenal consciousness.

Au contraire! I did something like this recently by arguing that solidity is basically illusory. It went ok.

Solidity simply doesn't have the properties that we naively attribute to it given our perceptions (even solids are mostly empty space!), and analogously, neither does our qualitative experience. The qualities we attribute to solids simply changed as we understood more of what was going on.
The point is that if everyone in the developed world had built more nuclear in the 1960s like France did, we wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now.

France’s CO2 emissions per capita are right around the world average. That means the rest of the developed world had done the same way as France half a century ago, we would have room to bring the whole developing world up to the same level as France while still being at the same overall CO2 output as today. And we wouldn’t have had all that extra CO2 for 60 years, giving us much more runway for the developed world to go to net zero while the developing world continues to develop.

I don't have much faith in anything beyond Starship and New Glenn. I've been hearing things at Rocket Lab are a mess right now, and relativity and rocket lab basically both are pivoting because SpaceX has made their original launch plans moot.

China will in the next 1-3 years launch a reusable rocket. Bold prediction, but their combination of massive money, engineering howto and shameless industrial theft makes it a no-brainer.

In terms of other launchers, I can see whoever buys ULA launching something reusable in the next decade, as well as ariane space.

yes that what rumors/speculation is. I have little doubt of it not turning out to be true.

Yep. I was in a type 1 startup. Stuff got done fast.

Energy graph omits all of the biggest household energy consumers: EV chargers, electric HVAC (including heat pumps), electric water heaters, clothes dryers, ovens, ranges, and other kitchen appliances.

Turning every single light on in my house at once is < 200W. So are all the other items in the list. Running all of them 24/7 is < 5kWh, not that you would ever do that. A single clothes dryer run is 5 kWh. A mid-size heat pump is about 8 kW.
Why can't they? Municipality-owned housing is a thing in many places around the world and is generally cost-covering even when rented out to low-income housesholds. In many places (i.e. Germany and Austria), even some of the most desirable middle-income housing is owned by local governments so it's nothing that has to come with stigma attached to it.

Housing always needs planning permission and that is something local governments have huge sway over. You can easily imagine that to get planning permission, developers have to cede 15% of the land to the local municipality or have to construct housing that has 25 years of priority for municipality-nominated tenants. It has been done.
TBF I have both a gmail account and a paid-for email account that I use extensively. I haven't migrated everything away from gmail primarily because of inertia - recreating all my workflows outside of gmail is probably a couple solid weekends of effort, which is way more than $50 worth of my time, and as I don't use the gmail web interface (or the gmail apps), I never see ads anyway.

> it only provided runtime type checking

That's the big nail in the coffin. Except for RBS and Steep, I don't know of any that does/did static type checking.

And yup, Sorbet's static type check is very partial to the point they recommend enabling runtime type checking.

Also in its usage, Sorbet needs to _evaluate_ files. Too bad if one of them was a script that included `FileUtils.rm_rf`. Ok I'm going overboard (maybe?), but Sorbet is not stable in face of code that has side effects when the file contents is evaluated.
Watching my 80 year old dad use Google Photos web UI on his desktop computer I realize that hamburger menus, or three dot menus, were meant for small screens where realestate is at a premium. On large enough screens they should be words like "Options", or "Menu".
Bulma CSS uses three blank <span> elements, which it'll style into a hamburger.

It is a matter of perception. I can tell myself feel-good statistics while ignoring the reality for millions of people as well.

Certainly an interesting take with the footer as the nav. It could work on information centric sites. It might seem strange working in a web app or a hybrid environment, where portions of the site lean towards app while others don't.

Looking at the comments here, that's highly skewed towards desktop use, guessing at the HN audience here, skilled with computer usage and decent handlers of visually dense information, I think most common users aren't like that. Many are using smaller screens, many are on mobile the majority of their computing time. When they do have larger screens, their glaze over when there's too much to look at (I think because they're not used to it, and too busy to ever get used to it, but either way). All of that to say, the hamburgers aren't for us, they're for secondary flows for common users.
I concur.

Can't remember when I've last seen an add on mobile and I use exactly that.

Yeah, as a skateboarder in SF a few years ago, the driverless cars for testing were already way more predictable and generally chill than the human Uber drivers, who would do all kinds of crazy, erratic things.

In an ideal world, we'd have physical separation for peds/bikes/skateboards/etc and motorized vehicles, but if we have to share, I'd much rather share with AI than humans.

(That's my pedestrian perspective. As a driver, I love driving and would hate to lose the right. But honestly I think the writing is on the wall, especially in dense urban environments.)
Older than that, flash already received the apple coup de grace a little while ago when ES6 was release.
Agreed 100%. Not only do I appreciate "well actually" comments, I think they are the single most useful aspect of forum discussions.

The headline will always be "BATTERY BREAKTHROUGH PROMISES TO ROCKET ELON MUSK TESLA TO THE MOON!!!" and while it's easy to know that some amount of cold water is necessary you need to spend a nontrivial amount of attention and have a nontrivial amount of knowledge to figure out just how much cold water. It's a useful thing to outsource. Did a research group see outperformance in an experiment with 1% probability of translating into production? Or is CATL scaling up a production process? The "well actually" comment will contextualize for you. If there's a "well actually" reply to the "well actually" comment, that tells you something too. Upvotes/downvotes dial in the distributed consensus.

It's far from perfect, but I'd challenge detractors to point to a more effective method for large-scale democratic truth seeking.
Was it with gpt 3.5 or 4?
Or even skip the DSL and use JS for both client and server, just independently. Validation functions can/should be simple, pure JS that can be imported from both.
That I agree to.
And I. OP with partial-order precedence, mixfix ops, op predicates for white-space sensitivity, and op-fragment chains for n-ary mixfix. RD with backtracking, computed predicate rules, and backtracked "parse scoped" data. The thought of exploring a performance-oriented one in Julia (monomorphized multiple-dispatch jit) occasionally comes to mind - if I ever see a "get the rep right and the problem gets much easier" story for graph rewrite on an LLVM scale, I might try for an fully-extensible compiler bootstrap.
Are they being deployed today? Super exciting idea.
I don't understand how this could work. Like if you select a small fixed number of tokens from a large document won't you necessarily lose a lot of important data?
You need your menu design to work at every viewport width between 320 and 1900+. So if you want to have your top level items on the screen at all times:

1. You have to decide if your top-level menu will be dictated by the smallest width or not

2. If not 1, then you have to decide what will happen when a lot of menu ends up in a smaller space. Do you wrap it (and risk using up your "above the fold" space on menu items) or do something that requires scrolling/opening submenus?

Also, whatever design you come up is almost inevitably messed up after handoff, when the client adds a word to a top-level item or adds five more top-level items.

Hamburgers solve this by giving up a bit of usability and gaining a ton of screen real estate to work with as a result.

As a designer-turned-developer, I've warmed to them over time, as has the Internet at large. If it helps, maybe consider them as a "the worst solution, except for every other solution" sort of thing. It's a pragmatic choice. And it's not like menus aren't a common paradigm of computing anyways.
Every time you increase compliance through force, you increase the incidents of abuse and incorrect use of the force. That's not a fallacious or even surprising revelation, and it's not specific to anything in particular about COVID-19.

It can be detrimental overall when the measures to be enforced are mostly security theater, rather than effective. Unfortunately, my observations are that both after 9/11 and during the COVID-19 crisis, force was on the bottom line mostly used to oppress and abuse, less so to decrease risk of terrorist acts and infection respectively.

In a smarter, less corrupted society, where these measures we're trying to enforce are well thought out, tested and effective, the use of force would still be necessary, despite compliance in general would be better due to effective information campaigns. Alas.
The language in this article is kind of vague, are the farmers being forced to do this or is this a voluntary thing?

Both mine and rayiner's commentary wasn't focused only on nuclear, but rather the harebrained and unrealistic doomscape narrative coming out of the West. When did it become so unpopular to point out what is most likely to happen? Because if we're placing bets, I'm gonna put my money on the developing nations not giving a flying F about emissions. Therefore, we need to think like realists and instead of idealists.

First US manufacturing actually results in making a lot of stuff. Second, your US dollar comparison is flat out wrong. If you want to compare the energy usage of the dollar to bitcoin, you should calculate the energy it takes to manufacture new banknotes and coins, the energy it takes banks and financial institutions to run the databases where they store people's accounts, the energy it takes to run credit card transactions etc. It will be tricky calculation but it is far less energy than the total energy consumption of the US and I am sure it is far less than the bitcoin energy consumption.

It's possible to approve of the "hype-breaking" (aka TLDRing / ELI5ing so that HN comment readers can understand the degree to which it's interesting for those of us not close enough to the field to understand that for ourselves) without agreeing that that same comment should also complain that preprints shouldn't be submitted to / upvoted on HN.

That's how I feel, anyway. I'd rather have seen a comment that has the same explanations in it but just generally less grumpy! Saying stuff like "It's not really that novel." doesn't really contribute much, when it could either be explained why it isn't novel by explaining how similar it is to something earlier that can be referenced, or thinking about what if anything is novel in this research - assuming it isn't being accused of just replicating something already done.
Exactly this. The diversity of interests means EU will never be as operationally efficient, and therefore as low cost, as SpaceX.

EU's strength is that diversification. They should lean into that and find a way (?) to benefit commercially. I don't know quite what that is, but someone needs to come up with something. Because the inefficiency is baked in.

There are many shades of plugins for the effect (and related media), but you lose that edge of chaos—most of the sounds that are so popular are the result of happy accidents because of that chaos and randomness. If you play around with these plugins enough you'll find them pretty deterministic. That said, they're pretty great, and highly portable. And I'm going right out to get the one you linked!

The "unit" of value backing the US dollar has dimensions that you can't factor into a meaningful comparison here; any comparison you do make is going to result in nonsense answers, regardless of your opinion of Bitcoin's value.

Bitcoin does indeed use power where it's cheap[1]. The argument that justifies Bitcoin's use of renewables needs to account for Bitcoin's concurrent prolongment of nonreneweables.

To be fair to AustinDev's comparison, I knew that crypto was massively wasteful. However, hearing that it's 1/100th of US manufacturing does put things into perspective.

I once toured an automotive plant. The idea that crypto could possibly be 1/100th of just that one plant would have been terrifying. The idea that crypto has reached 1/100th of ALL US manufacturing ...

EDIT: It sounds like automotive plants measure their output in something like thousands of cars per week. Imagine the energy required to move just a single car through a factory. And all of the work that goes into assembling it. And lighting and hvac for the factory. Then multiply it by 10000, then by 50 (~weeks in year), then by total number of automotive factories in US, then do the same for all of the other manufacturing industries in the US. Finally divide all that by 100. Yeah ... I consider myself not to have an environmentalist bone in my body, but I'm suddenly not feeling so well.
Climate yes, but air quality not by as much as you'd think. Multiple studies have come out showing that the weight of EVs puts more pressure on tires and breaks, which in turn increases the particles they dump in the air.

> As a result, total PM10 emissions from EVs were found to be equal to those of modern ICEVs. PM2.5 emissions were only 1–3% lower for EVs compared to modern ICEVs. Therefore, it could be concluded that the increased popularity of electric vehicles will likely not have a great effect on PM levels. Non-exhaust emissions already account for over 90% of PM10 and 85% of PM2.5 emissions from traffic. These proportions will continue to increase as exhaust standards improve and average vehicle weight increases. Future policy should consequently focus on setting standards for non-exhaust emissions and encouraging weight reduction of all vehicles to significantly reduce PM emissions from traffic.

As the quote mentioned, this can be improved. Lighter batteries, better regenerative breaking, and improvements in tire material would all help.
