I never expected to care about a UI library in Python, but my user research collaborators prefer Colab notebooks (as opposed to Observable, where my JS expertise would be relevant).

Now you (and the OP) have me pondering about building UIs in notebooks…

Not sure doing something in React is better than just learning the standard tools, but it's a good option to know exists.
It's a rabbit hole around the word "repatriate" in the article. The U.S. subsidiary appears to have entrusted the funds to someone else. The SEC apparently wants the U.S. subsidiary to repatriate those funds, the details of course being very important.

I drooled over the DG/One and the Kaypro 2000 - two of the very first true "laptop" computers. (No, the GriD doesn't count - it had to be plugged in!)

Way out of my budget, so I settled for a surplus, but new Commodore SX-64 luggable, with a fancy built-in 5-inch COLOR screen! Did the usual Commodore stuff on it, then got GEOS (made a C-64 a reasonable facsimile of a Macintosh - really) and used it to write all my final college papers and even my first resume. I still have it (in its original packing) up in a closet - need to pull it down sometime and figure out why the video sync doesn't work...
I'm not necessarily looking for more things being outlawed, or less things being outlawed. Rather I'd like to see some system where subgroups can more fairly decide what gets outlawed or allowed, and mechanisms for transparency and accountability of enforcing such rules.

It may not matter that much for a sub dedicated to a niche topic, but hopefully its clear that subs that are supposed to represent cities, countries, and similar should somehow managed in a "democratic" like way. There is clear value in the names of these subs.

While mastodon doesn't have "subs" per-se, having some sort of moderation that is "democratic" and implemented by a diverse group of people would be good to see. Having each instance owner have ultimate moderation power is not a plus in my book. Why should moderation and choice of content be biased towards those tech savvy enough to setup an instance? That's not what I want in a social media platform.
I'm a firmware engineer. The languages I use most frequently for professional purposes are C and Rust. C is less "safe" than Rust, in the sense that a larger share of C code is susceptible to subtle footguns. Sure, if you poke at edge cases and fill your code with unsafe blocks, Rust will do bad things too. To me, this seems like a reasonable way of thinking about safety: it's all relative, and it's all context-dependent.

The conversation about language "safety" always leads to a bunch of goalpost-moving. Is a language with a safe type system still safe if its runtime is buggy? What if the OS/kernel has a bug? What if the CPU has a bug? How about anomalies in I/O hardware? Keep going down the rabbit hole, and you'll eventually reach the conclusion that all software is extremely fragile and could explode into a million pieces if a single cosmic ray goes the wrong way. Thinking about safety in an absolute sense isn't productive.

As an aside, your CS buddies told you a bunch of nonsense.
I wish more manufacturers worked harder to keep fan noise down to between none and barely audible without severely throttling the CPU and GPU or toasting your lap. My laptop shouldn't be spinning up its fan just because I plugged in something as pedestrian as a 2560x1440 60hz monitor (as my ThinkPad X1 Nano likes to).

This could have been solved by only allowing Reddit premium users to make use of the API (they don’t see ads). in addition, the API cost is about 20 times more lucrative than a user seeing ads, which is an insane upsell. Then there’s the issue that Reddit won’t allow NSFW content over the API, which is just total BS in the picture you drew.

We're talking about beings capable of harnessing enough energy to travel interstellar distances, possibly even harnessing (let's say for the sake of argument) strange new physics like warp drive or wormholes.

No species that hasn't already colonized their solar system or started mining the plasma from their home star is going to be worth worrying about.

I stopped rating anything at all after discovering that the only function of a star rating is to communicate the degree of displeasure you feel toward the recipient. If you try to use ratings in a sane way (where an average number represents an average experience), you just punish people. This is not a game I wish to play.

Ultimately its more about the openness of the OS. If they built on iPadOS but they made a reasonable experience for freely sideloading apps, I'd be OK with it. Or even if they support WebXR really well, I might (just) find a way to be OK with that. But if they lock this down and position themselves as rentseekers to take a cut from every piece of software that runs there regardless of how much they contributed to it - I'm out.

Node is fine (and improving), but Express, or any of the many other libraries with similar APIs, is full of footguns:

- The base request-response cycle is ridiculously dynamic: the void-returning-callback API + stateful response object makes debugging a nightmare.

- Then there’s middlewares: they can come from anywhere, do anything anywhere in the call stack. They create complex webs of implicit coupling you can’t see, can’t find with static analysis, and can’t know if they’re changed or removed.

- You can add static types to address some of the above, but you cannot have any real confidence that the types reflect the actual presence or behavior of anything. It’s all just type assertions out of thin air.

- It’s routers all the way down; if you so much as nest one on a subpath, you have footguns squared.

- Maybe more specific to Express than the overall design, an absurd set of the request/response property names are very wrong, and get wronger in common setups.

It’s possible to address all of these without leaving Node (and I have!), but you’ll end up with a radically different API. It’ll be a better API, but it’ll also create friction for the unfamiliar, at least up front.

It's just really horrible camera work. Rolling the camera like that only makes sense when it corresponds with acceleration, but here every corner has a lot of camera roll and the amount is not correlated with the movement. That induces motion sickness, which is why it feels bad to look at despite excellent image quality.

A piece of commentary I'm less sure of is that there seems to be a total lack of motion blur, which is not what we've come to expect out of video

Tracking doesn't help but modern frontend development practices lead to slowness.

Rerendering and recomputing too much (ever encountered these chains of map() and filter() in render()?), many API calls, huge icon sets, huge custom fonts, CSS frameworks and JS frameworks, huge dependency trees with many instance of the same lib running sometime in several versions, big bundles...
This heaviness in the name of convenience and branding is not free, it forces people to ditch perfectly fine hardware, which has a high environmental cost... not directly paid by people funding the code).

One of my pet peeves is managed text inputs, where render() is called each time you type a character, for a whole component tree if you are not careful and you happen to pass the content to some parent for some reason. Typing a message in Mattermost on the PinePhone is painful for this reason, there's just no reason typing should be slow even on slow hardware but managed component is considered good practice.

Making people buy newer / powerful and making people wait and using too much energy should be considered bad practice.
Is there some scheme past asymmetric cryptography that I'm not aware of? Because one of the fun drawbacks for criminals of having a distributed public ledger has been their immediate connection to all of their transactions once their public key is associated with them.

I was pleasantly surprised at Apple's work toward wider game support that they announced at WWDC. I mean it doesn't mean most triple-A games will have support any time soon, but it's a step in the right direction.
Look at how android does it: By some heuristic (i.e. visiting the site regularly and interacting with it), Chrome will suggest you install the App (using Chromes UI). Additionally, you can have a custom UI button on your website, that triggers the install (user interaction is required to avoid install spam).

Neither works for Safari/iOS. The only way to help the user, is to show a step-by-step tutorial how he has to navigate his iOS Safari to install. And on top of that, nothing is shared between the installed PWA and the Safari instance - always requiring the user to re-login after install. It is just poor UX.

When I hear about this alien stuff or other "big government" conspiracies I'm always reminded of this saying, not sure where it's from.

"Behind every vast conspiracy theory is a sincere hope that somewhere out there, someone knows what they're doing."

(i.e., conspiracy nuts in a sense really want to believe in an all-powerful government because it would give them an assurance that someone really does know what's going on).

No. Bad request here would be a recoverable, handleable error that doesn't tank the process. You are describing a failure mode for a bad pointer dereference, which generally should not be handled in-process and should take down the program.

It is not reasonable for isspace(), a simple function call with no pointer arguments, to fault like that, absent unlikely events such as a hardware issue or a bad stack pointer.

You were comparing LNG by mass to batteries by mass.

Now you're trying to pretend I was comparing volume to volume rather than a ship full.

So I guess the answer is no. You've never considered saying anything in good faith.
Weirdly enough, I can only replicate that behavior when I go to scale=80% and below, but it also varies based on the exact zoom. Perhaps if you zoom in one level below or above 125% it will resolve? I am admittedly not really good at CSS or HTML.

You’re right. Reddit has changed quite a bit for the worse.
After the initial hype and adoption, the middle managers who don't code still love it.
Every other developer hates it.

Pretty much like Redux or Facebook's ridiculous architecture before that (flux? Something?)

I hear to more and more React and next.js hate everyday as well.

Hopefully this is a sign we're ready for the next great thing in frontend.

Not sure what it will be; personally I moved all the projects I can to solid start.
My first thoughts were CCC when I read the article but could it not be an example of Poincaré recurrence?
My other long bet is that 100 years from now we'll still be telling people, "I bet you're fun at parties."

And if we're going to 'well achtually', we don't know what happens inside of an event horizon. If time stops due to the infinite curvature, does the singularity ever form, or does it just collapse in on itself for eternity?

Yes you are right. It is brought up a lot. But the crazy thing is that despite it coming up in every other thread, I have yet to see a solid explanation. Some theories (it looks good for VCs!!!!!), some half-assed justification (akshually, running web apps does need thousands of engineers), and a lot of people agreeing that it's crazy.

I think it's probably true that most companies are overstaffed. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named managed to cut headcount 80% at a fairly prominent tech employer and drama aside, the business has not severely suffered. Could Ford Motor Company or US steel or Delta Airlines lay off 80% of their workforce and manage to maintain and grow operations as well as the bird app has managed to? I doubt it.
Agreed, my read of the abstract is that they’re doing near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (so XANES) and they make it a single atom technique by tunneling the signal into an STM tip

Early in the Seam journey, Dawn and I got a chance to speak with Jeff Lawson at Twilio. Jeff mentioned that exact dynamic, "the dev who's hacking on the weekend with Twilio and brings into work Monday morning" was a pretty powerful GTM force for them. But I don't think anyone would describe Twilio as open source. So being open-source doesn't appear to be a necessary condition for this dynamic to take place. What Jeff insisted on was the need for solid overlap between "i'm hacking with this API" and "i could use this for a business use case." That is, make the API product dead simple to get started with, and make sure it's easy to grasp how you could use this in a business context.

With respect to having an off-ramp by being open-source, I definitely agree that it does the psychological trick to convince a buyer. But in practically, most corporate-led open source projects are pretty hard to run end-to-end on your own infra. They also have limited outside contributors that really know how the stuff works.

With respect to Seam, I'd say being open-source wouldn't really move the needle for us in conversations with large enterprise customers. They're generally more interested in how much funding we have, how much runway that buys us, and how we're trending as far as building a sustainable business on which they will depend. Their tolerance for risk related to these questions is inversely proportional to their size. I suppose this is also why, in infrastructure sales, your next customer won't be significantly larger than the last one you closed.
Even just two-three large and popular instances is enough to make a Reddit impossible, so that's how short it can get.

The performance story isn't just that the backend is written in Rust. It's also that the front is very lightweight (80kB), that the architecture is horizontally scalable, etc...

I don't see in any of those links a core flaw, a problem in the initial engineering that makes it impossible for the architecture to scale. All I see are some poorly written queries, for which the main devs made a root cause analysis and described how it can be fixed. Is that evidence that the inherent design isn't capable of adequate performance? No, it isn't. It's evidence that there are some small performance gotchas that can be fixed easily, and this is normal for an ambitious project.

But even as it is, yes, it can handle mild traffic. lemmy.ml runs on potato hardware, hexbear.net is an example of an instance which has ~3'000 comments a day, which is roughly the scale of this website, and it runs fine on a single dedicated server.
