Apple still has one but ignores it all the time. It's a sad shell of what it used to be.
This is gold !
The funny thing is: even if we had the infrastructure, right now it costs ~0.50€/kwh to charge on public chargers. Apposed to ~0.30€/kwh which I pay at home. Unfortunately I don't own a home and can't have my own charger. This + that I don't want to sit at a charger for 45m once a week is, for me personally, the strongest argument against buying an electric car right now. And I don't see that changing or plans to change that.
A SUV is the best selling car of the year till now instead of a sedan and this is all done in order to fight "climate change". How can normal people can take this discourse as being serious anymore?

Love the idea of connecting niche expertise wherever there is a market for it. Adopting technologies (even saas or low code) requires expertise sometimes and this could enable companies with limited bandwidth/talent. Reminds me of companies who provide experts networks.

The part where you extended your scope from lowcode to broader set of software is clear, didn't get the part about being an enabler instead of the platform it self, the network aspect is not clear either.

Website is not straightforward on mobile and images within the one liner text can be confusing. Your description on HN is much more clear:)

Question : How do you differiante from platforms like fiver ? different audience of expertise ?
As a general answer I like to take sort of "5 whys" approach. Try to list all the contexts and constraints to the problem so that I can see potential conflicting/circular dependencies. This sometimes results in conflict identification something like "X is blocked by Y, but Y is blocked by Z". Maybe there is additional "Z is blocked by X", maybe it results in problem restatement to "solve Z".

I don't understand Siemens as a company, to be honest. We wanted to buy an expensive piece of software from them and they delivered it with all essential libraries at versions from 2014. We asked them to update the libraries, they spent a few weeks before replying and then said it's not possible to be done.

We do such updates on a weekly basis for our internal software, here incidentally on the exact same libraries, so the response flabbergasts me. They preferred to lose hundreds of thousands of euro rather than spend a few weeks (I'm stretching it) doing the updates.
No, it was a trademark issue, raised by Mozilla (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622) and seemingly resolved on their (Mozilla's) end (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006). For what it's worth, the recent Rust trademark issue seems to be of a similar vein (and the justifications around the Firefox sound like those used in Rust).
It might be "2 times as expensive" up front, but not for the TCO.

People really need to remember maintenance costs over the ownership period.

In a Tesla all you're really paying for is tyre rotation / alignment / rubber replacements, and air filters. Plus the electricity, in place of fuel. The savings add up significantly.
For those, a world without a desktop computer, smartphone, Starlink constellation and internet search is better. The downvoting illustrates that it's a prevailing viewpoint on HN now, indeed.

> The "Hello World" example is a really good example of why React <...>. The page will show nothing until the script runs.

Until the script runs! Nothing! Blank page of death! As numerous research articles have proven times and again, if visitors see a blank page of death for longer than 0.00068 picoseconds, 96% of them will leave the site, with that number reaching 97% if that time goes over 0.0124 picoseconds.

When users visit your site, your page will show nothing, unless you use React. React is awesome. React shows you the page before the script runs. Even if the script runs on the server, React will show you the page. Because React is full of optimizations. The rumors are, the cases were reported when React showed the page even before the browser completed the DNS query.
That's what I see with my son too (I'm 44, he's now 14). I tried to watch some of the older movies (not alien just yet), and it's all just too slow-paced/boring for him. These movies have a huge and slow buildup, and by that time they already lost the younger generations.

Todays movies and series really go fast into the action, and grab you from start to finish.

I was hoping by the time he gets a little older, he can appreciate the slower pace a bit more, but your comment gives me less hope ;).

Anyway, the 'classics' such as Godfather and Casablanca are also too boring for me :D.
I see multiple ways of what you are experiencing.

* There is no known solution or path to the solution

* There might be none
* There might be one
* There might be multiple
* These might be approximations
* The solution will be so complex, it will not be sustainable

All these are possible ways of having no solution and lots of real world applications fall into the area of having lots of solutions, but sometimes it's just not sustainable. Theoretical research of course is different.

I usually just try to solve it with my current knowledge, as practical as i can (implementing it). Even if i cant solve it that way, i will have learned something and i can try again another time or using another approach. Looking for similar topics and approaches helps. Mind-Map thinking can help broadening the field and see adjacent topics which help finding a solution. Very often the knowledge from other fields help me solve something i could not without the broader knowledge.
I hope that Brother doesn't succumb to the same forces that drove HP (and everyone else) to these decisions. In the short term it makes sense for HP because

1. At first the printer works well. This causes reviewers, who only use the printer a few times when it's new, to write a good review.

2. It lets them keep the up-front price of their printers low. Most people only consider up-front cost and not total cost of ownership. It also helps with getting a good review.

3. They get some recurring revenue from customers who don't want to deal non-name-brand ink. They just want their printer to work and they're willing to pay.

Brother, on the other hand, is slightly more expensive but is better built and works with off-brand ink. We have a brother laser printer and it's great. The ink doesn't dry out like an inkjet, we can buy ink from wherever, and it doesn't break down every few months.

I just hope that brother understands that going HP-mode would probably give a short-term bump but hurt their name in the long run.
Think of the tags as a constraint. It's quite easy to check that certain constraints are met with tags. It's much harder to check on this <onevent>="htmx.<action>(<url>, <swap>)" convention. Soon you'll have unconstrained code creeping in (e.g. onclick="!loading ? htmx.post('/clicked', 'outerHTML') : void(0)").
They do their job just fine though.

>Caught the russian troll

Calling someone a Russian troll for offering an accurate and dispassionate recitation of history is offensive and defamatory. Reasonable, decent and intelligent people know how to disagree and offer conflicting opinions without flinging ad hominen attacks, which also run afoul of the rules of HN.

>Russia is afraid because countries joining NATO means Russians can't invade them.

Or perhaps they saw what happened to Serbia, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. When the Soviets tried to install their bases in Cuba in 1962, we threatened all out nuclear war to prevent them from stationing their missiles and troops on our border. They wisely retreated.

>NATO is the main reason Eastern Europe isn't all conquered by Russia by now. With all the usual genociding that goes on whenever russia conquers somebody.

Russia has spent the last 15 months trying to conquer the eastern 20% of Ukraine. No matter how dastardly you think Russia is, it is delusional to believe they have the military might, let alone the desire, to conquer "all of Eastern Europe".

For the record, I don't think Russia is "the good guys" - any more than we are. There are no good guys in geopolitics, only bad guys. That is why if we want a peaceful world we need a neutral, universal standard of international law that applies equally to the actions of all countries. Unless we want world war 3 and nuclear holocaust, the current "rules based international order" that allows NATO/US to bomb and invade whoever they want while branding others who do so evil villains is not sustainable.
Nice project. I'm interested in the cable tester itself. Why does each line require a different resistor? Also, in the gif at the top of the page, it looks like some of your cables only light up 5 LEDs. Are some cables out there really that bad?
> Apartments generally have a lack of EV chargers.

That's the trick, people living in apartments are not supposed to own and operate their own cars going forward.

As a live in an apartment myself I wasn't aware of that fact at the beginning, I kept asking myself: "how am I supposed to charge my car if I'm living on the 8th floor?". Turns out I was looking at the whole thing through the wrong lenses.

What's really perverse about it (there's no better word to describe it) is that us, people living in apartments, do currently have a smaller carbon footprint compared to people living in actual houses, and yet we are the ones being punished as a result of measures which are meant to improve our global carbon footprint. So the solution for me, if I'd still want to own a personal car, would be to increase my carbon footprint by moving to an actual house on the ground, preferably in suburbia because cheaper (where there's also no proper public transportation to speak of).

> I think that all of the companies that set these public carbon emissions goals as PR should be held fully accountable for missing them.

Then they simply wouldn't set any such goals. Why would they bother risking it?

If you want targets that are accountable, advocate for actual laws that set emissions limits, and a government that is willing to enforce them. Nobody is going to eat a fine on a completely voluntary PR statement. It's easier to just not make the statement in the first place.
Pretty much this; There are some people who believe that efforts to improve supply chain security benefits only corporate or business users, and that individual developers should not be asked to take on a uncompensated burden for their benefit.
I live in Norway now.

The subsidies the government introduced over a decade ago to incentive sales

At least last time I checked.

As a result, I have a lot of friends and coworkers that own Telas.

Some had to wait months for a spare part needed to fix their problems.

Primarily it has been water leaks, parts that are not "fitting together"

The second is the touchpad control system.
I have wondered if this could in part be due to the extreme cold we have

But like I said the owers are still in love with their cars and would not
trade it.
It wouldn’t matter. Software is so dysfunctional that you can post about it with an explicit implementation tutorial and how much money it saves you and still people will avoid it like a plague. This is true because most people doing this work cannot read/write software and insecurity is so high that people fear new solutions unless prepackaged as a zero effort executable.

I don't endorse the following as an accurate history, but it is a narrative that is taught within machine learning and probably has some elements of truth to it.

If you want to take a system that's working on Boolean logic, and introduce uncertainty, replacing true/false with probabilities does a great job of this. However in the 1960s/1970s, people believed it was hopeless to have AI systems use probability to deal with uncertainty. This is because probability requires you to use Bayes' Theorem, and computing the denominator in Bayes' Theorem requires summing over an exponentially large number of different outcomes.

Thus people came up with all kinds of alternative systems to avoid dealing with probability. Among these would have been fuzzy logic.

However people came up with ways to cope with the computational intractability (belief propagation on Bayesian networks, better Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithms, etc.), so probability became practically viable. And on the merits, if you can deal with the computational issues, probability seems to be much nicer than these other formal systems. So since the 1980s/1990s the probabilistic approach to AI has become dominant (even if deep learning has displaced the actual models).
I just quit my prime over this news. I was not really buying much from Amazon, I have a list of stuff I need and when it gets big enough I go get it all from local stores so support them.

Well, the purpose of this site is to provide information and it’s not a web app. The goal of such site should be to make that info as accessible as possible with no reason to involve anything more complicated than absolutely necessary--not just towards users but also bots/scrapers for SEO. That generic <noscript> text is commonly from create-react-app or its ilk which should be reserved as technology for web apps. This is yet another example of a landing page that could+should be static pages with minimal JavaScript for progressive enhancement.
And yet, despite tremendous progress accelerating continuous optimization workloads, there are still no competitive GPU-based SAT solvers. I wonder why?
Español por favor!
All this is pure speculation:

I have absolutely no inside info or actual knowledge to back up this hunch, but part of me thinks Google released PaLM2 just to get something out the door that was somewhat comparable to OpenAI's models.

That way they can say they put something out and that they're "competing", but internally, maybe they're really looking forward to (and working on) their next-gen AI models. Something to compete with a hypothetical future GPT-5, but maybe they're looking to get their version out faster than OpenAI can. I feel like Google is really going to give it their all on the next-gen model they release (not PaLM 2, but whatever they're working on after it).

Curious to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Hmmm. I'd have to check. The use case given for that API (good spot) is for IDEs, where files are often in different sub-directories, so granting folder access wouldn't be enough. But you might be right, it's been a while since I looked at the details of this stuff. I do remember the bookmarks mechanism. It's all quite well thought out relative to other platforms (as per usual for Apple), but for as long as Apple treat it as an exploit mitigation mechanism rather than as a way to rapidly run untrusted code it's not going to get much traction outside the App Store where they force it.

My guess is that their security folks aren't convinced by the robustness of the sandbox and don't want the pain of trying to defend it, which is a pity (for them), because it just throttles their own platform and pushes people towards the web. The browser guys apparently can define a sandboxable platform: why can't Apple?

Re: custom file browsers. Yes, that's a good point. I think you can request access to whole parts of the file tree though even when sandboxed. You have to mark them as exceptions via entitlements and it's automatically granted. Because Apple see the sandbox as a way to mitigate exploits and not allow execution of untrusted code, that sort of approach works fine.

I find this a tricky case.

If you take the effort to create a very useful website, shouldn't you have the right to set down some rule for it? No says google, copyright trumps it. We are allowed to take all your stuff and put it on a competing website (our own).

I wonder how this would fare under European database law. Database law give protection against wholesale copying of a website, even if copyright would not be an impediment.
I assume that there is a solution, that the solution is already known, and that it's my approach that prevents me from seeing it.

(positives:)

Fuzzy Logic has some utility in engineering applications, because it can be intuitive for humans interpret and to create rules using it. Interpretability is also the strong point of neuro-fuzzy logic (hybrid system). Applications are usually control systems, business logic, or embedded systems with tight resource constraints.

(negatives:)

In academic research it's not that interesting, because it's just one multi-valued logic among others, subset of infinite-valued logic. It's not very useful in machine learning because there are no efficient way to learn fuzzy rules automatically.
No.

There is a particular logic (“Classical Logic”) that people are usually thinking of when they mention logic. Many folks don’t know that there are many, many logics that have been invented by mathematicians and philosophers, and an infinity of possible logics. All are as mathematically sound as each other. They vary in how truth behaves (SQL’s true-false-null is a poor attempt at a 3-valued logic, for example; or you might include notions like necessity and possibility or time).

Fuzzy logic is another logic. It’s quite precise about how truth behaves, and truth is a real number on the range [0, 1]. And it does a nice job of providing a notion of partial truth.
Of course but their reasoning will have changed over time. Because Firefox's market share has changed tremendously as well.
