The wave of layoffs in tech had started before his layoffs at Twitter. By the time the Twitter layoffs started people here were already talking about how tech companies in general were about to have large waves of layoffs.
I maintains a side project in Django since 5+ years now.

The scope has been reduce to almost nothing. I have spend like 20h on it in 2022. But it still being used.

Django helps by how boring and solid it feels.

The fact that this is an article about design-language that contains zero pictures speaks volumes about the author's perspective on the subject.
Thanks, so Signal is not among them? Interesting. Or was it already banned before?
Most end users want a simple centralized solution, this is just yet another proof of that.

The fedi will remain a sub-cultural thing. I said that way back in the start of 2022 waves.
He absolutely isn't. And we can debate that if there's any confusion how what he's doing is the exactly opposite of what I'm talking about.

I frankly can't comprehend anyone who would see Elon's day to day erratic solo decisions that change the rules on the platform, and compare them to the nature of a standardized, predictable, basically "eternal" protocol like IP is.

Twitter also has no feature to build communities on top of it, who can moderate themselves. It's "flat". I this it has a feature to this effect, something roughly comparable to a "subreddit" would be, but no one is using it and it's clearly underbaked too.
It is so funny to me that every time BTC price rises, FUD articles come out of the woods.

I wonder if somebody built an automated process for this, or there is still a human element to it.
The first step to crossing the chasm is finding those innovators and learning if you are solving a problem!
Drivers do fine if the infrastructure is designed for humans rather then for cars.

The reason so many people die in US cities is because of policy, not because people can't drive inherently.
Can you give either an example or explanation of what you mean by expressive syntax? People talk about it but I don't really know what they mean.
Thanks for the useful article, well timed for me.

Digression: A month or two ago I had zero experience with this stuff. But have a once very nice high-end laptop that is now several years old. I'd replaced it with a new one and tried to sell it, for what I thought was a measly $350. Was close to 10x that price new with accessories. But, I learned folks just won't pay reasonably for a used PC.

Was bummed but came across a comment here. "Blah, blah using as a travel laptop now blah…" Woah, that's it! Have been skittish about traveling with my laptop due to reading horror stories at the border. Has my whole life on it. Plus a great excuse to try out stuff I never had much time for.

So I paved the old laptop with the latest Fedora KDE and Wayland, enabled LUKS2, long password, and even figured out Secure Boot. (Have been using a non-encrypted Debian/X setup for a decade+.)

One unexpected thing is that it encrypts the root partition (though not /boot). Guess I was expecting only /home ?

Cloned my work locally and now ready to travel! Hopefully no border guards pull out a wrench. (xkcd 538 ;-)
Still haven't figured out how to confirm it is using Argon2 however. EDIT:

sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/foo0p3

The setup subcommand also prints useful information, but unfortunately not the derivation function.
SpaceX's first launch site was at Omelek Island. It appears that the challenging environment may have contributed to one of the failures.

"Why the nut cracked is still a bit of a mystery. Musk said the "prevailing thought" among investigators, which included a mix of government and SpaceX personnel, is that the heat and humidity on Omelek Island was a factor. Though the nut was anodized to guard against corrosion, Musk said, it may have been scratched at some point, compromising its protection against the elements. "We had a series of countdowns [during which] the rocket was exposed for quite a bit of time," Musk said. "And the vehicle hangar for about three months was not climate controlled."

Another possible contributing factor, Musk said, is that there was an adverse reaction--so-called galvanic corrosion--between the aluminum nut and the pipe fitting itself, which was made of stainless steel.

Musk said SpaceX will replace the $5-a-piece aluminum nuts with less-expensive stainless steel nuts to avoid that problem in the future."

we’re using htmx at work, migrating away from react. the technique we’re using is just rendering the whole page, e.g. we have a page where one side of the screen is a big form and the other side is a view on the same data but with a different UI, updating one updates the other. we’re using the morphdom swapping mode so only the things that changed are updated in-place. as a colleague commented after implementing this page, it was pretty much like react as far as “pure function of state.”
Precisely, this article is part of a timeline. And has no "Next" or "Previous" links. Which are far more useful, especially if they were at the top of the article. You have to figure out that "Home" actually takes you to other articles--most definitely non-standard.

In addition, whatever happened to the general UX advice "Users don't scroll"?

Finally, on my monitor, it also has a gigantic amount of useless whitespace to the left and right no matter how wide you make it so the bottom links always manage to stay hidden.

I'm no fan of hamburger menus, but there are far more fundamental UX mistakes being made here.
Did you read the article? It discusses this topic and how it's a hard problem in Ruby vs. Python due to Ruby's syntax choices.
What I also think is weird is that people think seg faults and crashes are "unsafe".

In the terms of Cardelli, a stack overflow is a trapped runtime error -- and thus a SAFE behavior of a language runtime.

What's not safe is when your program keeps running in an unknown state:

- buffer overflows - who knows what it does after memory corruption?

- integer overflows, especially in C where the behavior isn't defined. But in Rust's release mode, these runtime checks are omitted, so that's unsafe too.

---

On the other hand, the behavior of null pointer exceptions and a stack overflows is SAFE. It protects you from undefined behavior at runtime.

Crashing is a DEFINED behavior -- it's also what happens on divide-by-zero by default, and apparently when Rust's allocators run out of heap memory.

This isn't a theoretical distinction, because diagnosing and fixing NPEs and stack overflows is easy compared to the other two.

And crashes can lead to denial of service, but not remote code execution, which is WAY worse.
Irony that they're all made by the same person!
The US army happens to be very violent even as a standing army since energy waste is an alternative to a much larger less trained army. But practically speaking the genocide of everyone is the worst possible violence and its most likely cause will be continued market for fossil fuels. Murdering every soldier on the planet with a reusable knife could only slow that down a decade or two.

(If at all.. Prices would drop, reducing some supply but also driving private sector usage up.)

Do you continually refresh the "Threads" page throughout the day?

Yes.

I hope not; it seems woefully inefficient.

It's that way by design, as I understand it. Pg wasn't trying to create a traditional discussion forum when he built HN and from what I can recall reading/hearing, he intentionally did not implement reply notifications and suchlike.

That said, there have been various 3rd party "HN notifier" services over the years, like hnnotify.com (or something like that) and hnreply.com (or similar). Not sure if any of those are still up and running or not though.
Yeah, but from a user POV at least those are functional and not just for vaguely specified "security reasons".
They actually just passed a new law last week to legislate even more CanCon meddling on online streaming sites, including YouTube and social media feeds.

Canada subsidizes an entertainment industry that mainly produces things nobody wants to watch, so they're regulating companies to algorithmically force it on Canadians.

The amazing shows and movies that have come out of Canada in the last 20 years are popular because they're good... not because of some visibility issue with the rest of the fodder from companies that spend more on admin related to lucrative tax breaks and grants than they do actually producing content.

I don’t know if you have any experience in this, but in community collages in my area students and faculty alike are raising protests and threatening strikes because they are precisely not getting what they want, which is for their courses to stay open and for their teachers to remain on staff. It is my guess that the only people getting what they want with the ballooning admins are the bosses (i.e. admins them selves; and stakeholders in the educational industry who get to sell their stuff to schools, e.g. security firms).

our policy is that for widgets that are like browser components e.g. search as you type with keyboard shortcuts, we just use the off the shelf react component for that purpose and use it from htmx like it’a browser input element. for all other business logic (almost all of which has no low latency requirements and almost always involves a server requets), we use htmx in our server side language of choice.

our designer who knows a bit of react is not happy, but the 12 engineers on our team who are experts in $backend_lang and who are tired of debugging react race conditions, cache errors, TypeScript front end exceptions, js library churn, serialisation bugs, etc. are very happy indeed.

it doesn’t fit every app, but it fits our app like a glove and many others that I’ve considered writing that I didn’t feel like bothering to do so before discovering htmx.

Frontend and backend validation are usually not the same though. You won't be writing the same thing twice, you'll be writing different validations for each.

Well, to have a perfect-ish solution, you'd have to build a framework with UI elements that map to native elements on each platform. Behavior and styling (e.g. positioning of elements) would need to be consistent, so you'd probably have to reduce functionality to the least common denominator for each possible dimension, or take the burden of implementing compatibility for A on platforms B and C. Web has a legacy of document-based components, while mobile is generally more interactive. There are overlaps nowadays, but staying within those boundaries would be a serious restriction.

On top of all that, you'd need a runtime that works on all platforms and is able to interact with native controls. I think React Native does something like that, but back then when I checked they did not have official web platform support (which is somewhat ironic, but I suspect technical difficulties too).
You aren't asking for advice, but oh well. Don't decide for other people whether they will be interested in you or not.
I don't know of any environmentalists against the research. Most I've talked with are skeptical that this is viable given current technology and believe that we need to act as if this doesn't exist, but that's different than opposing the research.

If there is some sort of breakthrough, then that's fantastic!

I think there are other geoengineering techniques that environmentalists are against such as seeding with sulphur dioxide or trying to create a shade preventing sun rays from reaching earth, but the argument against carbon capture is only that it doesn't yet exist.
Probably not! And I think there's way more than enough room for an academic argument there. In essence, I'm asserting that the same end results are indistinguishable, however. But also yes, you could label religious moral adherence with the same qualities. :)
I can imagine that Facebook and Google liked the way Angular and React allowed for more advanced tracking. But it seems like you're giving too much weight to that as a primary cause.

From my memory of working through this time, it was driven more by UX designers wanting to have ever more "AJAXy" interfaces. I did a lot of freelancing for design agencies 2006 - 2016, and they all wanted these "reactive" interfaces, but building these with jQuery or vanilla JS was a nightmare. So frameworks like JavaScript MVC, Backbone.js, SproutCore, Ember.js were all popping up offering better ways of achieving it. React, Vue and Angular all evolved out of that ecosystem.
the "government funding" of spacex is kind of a misnomer. It wasn't like a grant or some handout. It was payment for a product and service.

> The biggest headache when coming across these menus on the web is the complete disregard for accessibility.

Just because most websites / frontend frameworks fail to implement hamburger menus in an accessible way (including Bootstrap 5), does not mean that hamburger menus in general are bad when it comes to accessibility.

With that logic, images / img elements are a core problem per se and should be prohibited, because most pages don't use them correctly from an accessibility standpoint (e.g. forgetting to provide an explicit "alt" attribute).

WCAG / WAI has pretty good recommendations in how to achieve it. Here is their hamburger menu pattern example:

Smartphone 0days are still rare and tend to get rarer as time goes on.

Also worth mentioning that they are used selectively because using it comes with a chance of the vuln/vector being discovered and patched, which then requires more research/purchase and potentially downtime. GRU/FSB/NSA/CyberCommand/GCHQ/Unit8200 wouldn’t burn a no-touch smartphone 0day unless they felt they needed to and then only for the targets that are high value enough.
> rarely any news of valuable partnerships, dominating the market and exceeding at certain field.

The partnership with Porsche/Bugatti is quite valuable. They also dominate/exceed in terms of car performance, if not sales.

You're making it sound like they're just another Nikola with a lot of investment and only empty promises. In reality they have real products and real manufacturing, impressive results, and giant partnerships.
I don’t know how representative this is, but when I talked to one of my school’s donation people, it sounded like most people don’t donate to the unrestricted fund, which the school can do whatever with it’s usually earmarked/restricted for a specific use, like a building, a specific department, whatever. The school really really wants unrestricted funds.

Personally, I donate to my old dorm’s social/making stuff fund, the students get way more out of those dollars a lot further than I do, and I always appreciated that we had that budget.
Yeah, I don't understand what the site is doing. According to the footer, it's a link-shortening service of some sort, but it's not clear how it's supposed to be used or what is happening after the "human" check.

EDIT: Oh, I see. It's pretty bizarre and I don't know how they make money, but here's what they say:

---

ouo.io is a URL shortening service that allows users to get paid whenever they share links and someone clicks.

We pay for ALL legitimate visitor you bring to your links and payout at least $1.5 per 1000 views. Multiple views from the same viewer are also counted thus you will be benefiting from all your traffic.

Sounds scammy. No thanks.
Ignoring timelines, I’d say every single one of your predictions will become a reality. I think for a lot of folks, these integrations of AI into existing things seems natural, intuitive and common-sensical. I’m not sure why there’s such a mass of folks denying any of these things.

I’ve considered quitting my job and pursuing it full-time. Being an early adopter here seems like a sure fire way to succeed. I’m curious what your journey has been.

Note-taking apps are one of these areas where I'm always interested in alternatives, but I also have some very good options that I'm already using. If I'm going to switch, there had better be a damned good reason. And so far, all this app is doing is giving me very good reasons to not take it seriously.

I would be interested to see this calculation but, I'd argue that you'd also have to include the energy usage of the federal government, federal reserve and US military. The military is an easy one to calculate and they use about 0.75 quadrillion btu's per year in fuel alone according the 2021 federal budget. Which is about 219.5 billion kwh to compare to crypto's 50 billion which is surprisingly close.

At the end of the day, it is impossible to quantify the amount of energy required to keep the USD as the global reserve currency and preserve its value.
It's so true. In the case where price actually is the issue, then it ceases to be a piracy problem, since they likely couldn't afford to pay anyway. No customer lost in many cases.
Not to put words in the posters mouth, but given that metabolism is necessary to maintain life and running server farms to generate imaginary lottery numbers at scale is not, the point is: Don’t waste time and energy on crypto nonsense.

Yeah he was somehow able to start both Tesla, a wildly successful paradigm shifting hard tech company, and then go on to start SpaceX, an even more paradigm shifting, wildly successful hard tech company that has absolutely blown out every single competitor on earth to the point of embarrassment.

I grew up in foster care. One of my guardians made a living driving a taxi. The guy was an absolute wreck of a human and I probably wouldn't break if he was crossing.

It was what he used to survive though, and surely not all cab drivers would be the same.

My brother in law drove Uber when he was illegally canned from his factory work and is the reason he got to eat.

There are options to solve problems that don't require a change in the outcome you desire. Mainly something along the lines of forcing the companies profiting from this to pay a person a reasonable wage to act as the social aspect that will be missing. So the job market can be unaffected.

It's not just a cab job problem either. It's also not about who I like or dislike or whether or not it impacts me or not. I have never used a cab in my life and I cannot drive and thus have no car taking up your street.

I do however see a worsening homeless crisis in my small-ish Canadian city. I would rather see empty cars than tortured souls.
