The more complicated version of this is "if drugs were an improvement to our overall evolutionary fitness, we'd have evolved to do what the drug does by default". This opens up interesting avenues of thought, because some drugs aren't an improvement to fitness in the ancestral environment.

Stimulants usually make you burn more energy, so they're fertile ground now that calories are cheap. Dietary energy has only been affordable for a couple of centuries, so there's not a lot of time to have evolved more wasteful bodies and minds.
Well, it is definitely not a suicide mission. At least in my Sciter I've implemented all those by myself in reasonable time frame - first version was made in 9 months.

But "yes", you need some prior experience, in order to come up with flexible architecture that will allow to expand it further without major redesigns.

First version had DOM/CSS and used just GDI. GPU support (Direct2D, OpenGL|Metal|Vulkan via Skia) was added later with API staying the same.

I wouldn’t expect it to be more reliable - or less likely to cause harmful interference — than using Bluetooth.
Once I learned you can just microwave plain kernels in a paper bag, I threw out all of our microwave popcorn. Even low-salt/low-fat is much saltier and richer than I prefer. Now with this PFAS news, it's yet another reason to ditch the prepackaged popcorn.

Or simply use large saucepan. Pour some oil to cover its base, wait until the oil gets high temperature, pour corn. Then, shake it every now and then. We used to make tons of them when we were kids and even now I make it occasionally, when we do movie nights at home

"you need real single women"

Yeah I'm perfectly aware of this.

Now the thing is, a lot of single lonely men, will still keep use an app for some time even if they don't get a date, especially if they get a few messages from time to time to keep them hopeful, the bot could be prompted to make excuses or to delay the date(I know it's awfully unethical, I'm not debating this). I know because I'm doing it and I know a lot of guys in the same position.

The goal would be to do this for a few weeks tops to get a bit of traction, and once there is actually a few women on the website to disable it entirely.

"Once that's exposed you'd lose all credibility."

Aware of that too, hence why it would be quickly disabled.

> The brain infrastructure that connects neurons is collectively referred to as the cytoskeleton. It includes proteins, neurotransmitters, filaments, microtubules etc. Above, we saw how electric fields generated by neurons and other parts of the cytoskeleton carry information being used for behavior. Here, we propose the Cytoelectric Coupling Hypothesis: Electric fields help organize components of the cytoskeleton in order to “tune” it to process information efficiently.

Stunning complexity.
It’s not that bad. Fossil fuel burn is actually much worse. I used to think this as I thought buying used cars would be a great help but the break even point for the extra cost of building an entire vehicle is something like 2 years of driving. So building all new cars with half the fuel use could reduce overall emissions after about 4 years. Electric vehicles are worth it after 2-3 years. As long as your electric vehicles run for about 5 years, even if you make a whole new car, emissions would reduce considerably

When you look at it further, you find even an electric car uses 20-30kWh/100km at highway speeds. That basically a constant 20kW. Driving a car is just stupidly energy intensive and very little can be done about that. Trains and public transport have a huge benefit in energy use per person
It's great that suspend works, but 5% for two hours is abysmal performance compared to the M1 Apple default performance. That's 60% battery over 12 hours, whereas I'd expect to lose 5% total over that entire timespan otherwise.
Yeah which honestly I don't mind the middleware approach for authentication although the route matching is pretty bad for fine grain control.

However another thing is the middleware is all through the edge runtime. So things like regular postgres drivers don't work (although I did hear that Cloudflare workers added TCP so maybe that's coming).

I will say Planetscale and the hottest db as a service platforms all seem to have an edge adapter to allow for this but your SOL otherwise.
Is it the microwaves effect on the popcorn, or the fake butter that might cause "popcorn lung" if the fumes get inhaled, getting modified into PFAs by microwaving?

If it's the first, I'd expect almost everything you nuke to be at least a risk of PFAs. If its the second, that's easier to deal with by avoiding fake popcorn butter.

You won't. You have 76 CPU cycles per line. Searching through a 32 byte array for a match - 4-5 cycles just to load the byte from the array if you use zero page indirect addressing.
I don't know why a significant amount of the comments are so critical of what seems like a pretty incredible project (and based on contributor statistics, primarily built by _a single person_), but I really like it and prefer the overall UX to Element so far (even though it's basically copied Discord entirely).

Also, the backend is written in _Rust_, I thought you guys LIKED THIS KIND OF THING!

Not a chance. The whole problem with subs is that water weighs about 8lb per gallon.

So, at 4000m you're looking at something between 4500 5500 psi. Thats a small truck worth of pressure every square inch in the hull. Once you breach the structure, think crushing a tin can in the middle, things collapse pretty fast.

As do bodies. If you figure your body is 2 foot by 6 foot, the pressure would be like parking 100 fully loaded 18 wheelers on a single body within a split second of each other.

Every book or encounter you read about submariners has a section talking about the creaking of the bulkheads and wondering how long it can hold because it's such a nature defying act to build something that can hold that pressure out in the first place.
I just see this mistake a lot. I own this controller, and as long as it's reasonably close to the dongle, the connection is rock-solid. No disconnections as you would get with a bonafide Bluetooth link -- the dongle is paired to the controller out of the box.

When I was 18, at my first dev job, I was put in charge of trying to migrate and modernize an old PHP app for a client.

Well, the databases weren't given human names, they were both long autogenerated strings.

I deleted the staging database and then prod stopped working

My mother and father gave me my genetics, they both drank coffee for many years and are still alive and cancer free into their late 70s. My great grandmother drank coffee ritually as well and lived well into her 90s. Organic coffee is likely best, as it most resembles coffee of the past which was safer to drink...

I love coffee, but noticed I get grumpy and feel a bit stiff in the joints if I drink more than one cup a day, and sometimes I alternate with tea. That's all I really need to determine what works for me. I highly recommend when conflicting media reports are everywhere to start evaluating your background like that to create calm (if you can do so of course) or simply to embrace your mortality and realize that pollution and other factors make everyone's future quite unpredictable regardless.
I remember the days of incremental PC upgrades being quite commonplace (the 286/386/486/Pentium era). It was sort of a golden time where a relatively poor kid (me) could save his pennies up to buy a small upgrade and keep a system going through various "Ship of Theseus" efforts. I think I managed such an upgrade cycle through 4 generations of CPU while keeping various peripherals in various states staggered across all of that. It also meant that if you had the right supplier you could cobble together barely working computers just able to boot the latest all floppy release of SUSE or something.

Today it seems that a decent computer (~$1000k) will simply just run most things perfectly fine for around 5-7 years, after which all the main bus and peripheral tech will have moved on. It's easier to junk that system and buy another one almost from scratch. The main benefit I can think of for still buying your own parts and putting it together (or having somebody put it together) is price/performance /customizability still leads. I was able to retire (give to my wife) an 8 year old desktop which is still perfectly fine for her needs, and buy an all new system, but thread what I wanted through a budget by ultra-specifying specific parts. I couldn't find a pre-built that was close, even after I just paid Microcenter to put it all together for me. This also turned out to be a good idea as they were able to on-the-spot substitute a few pieces based on compatibility and inventory.
I’m not colorblind but I would wholeheartedly agree because I know colorblind guys
Clojure and Janet are great options. To these recommendations I would probably add Racket (it's used a lot as a teaching language and has tons of cool experimental features) and Hy (for when you need to write python in lisp form).
I've found I burn the popcorn often with this. Maybe just a lack of experience (we always had an air popper growing up). You can also use small amounts of butter (or I guess oil if you wanted) with the silicone popper or air popper. Having enough oil to cover the base seems like a lot more oil? I could be wrong, just guessing.
What are the viable alternatives for those who don't care about the API routes but still want some level of pre-rendering / SSR? Staying in the React ecosystem that is.

Remix is always touted as the alternative but it seems like a whole new approach to learn and it's own strong opinions.

I've been using Next for 3+ years but I don't feel confident to start a new project today. Do I go to the dying page router? Or trail blaze with the app router with all the teething issues and issues everyone's encountering (myself included).
Hi Kurt! We do the same metrics type thing at Inngest, and we share the exact same thoughts as you. We 'solved' it by, well, using Inngest to charge for Inngest.

We track everything as metrics, then hook up functions to read from the TSDB each billing period. How it works:

- One Inngest function runs each billing period (scheduled), and "fans out" by creating an event for each user we want to charge.

- A billing function reacts to these individual user events, queries metrics, queries our plans, and then generates a stripe invoice

- This is then charged by stripe.

- We have other functions that respond to other billing events and do dunning like flows.

We only have to focus on the small amount of billing code required. We don't have to handle scheduling, state, retries, or the event flows — that's built into Inngest.

I'd really like to make this more robust. We had to put in the work on emails, billing, and dunning, even if it is simple function code. It would be nice to have someone "productize" this. I feel your pain.

In general, it definitely makes sense to read from our own metrics stores to charge for our products. Very much agree with everything you've said. There's not the most joy in billing.
Do you cover it to prevent mess?
Gitlab Duo
He still has a point. Go code and similar languages hide the concurrency. You write synchronous looking code most of the time, but underneath, libraries and runtimes ensure you’re running concurrently.
This video will give you an idea of how quickly things likely imploded, and they never even got to the kind of pressures they would have experienced in that sub.

Yes. Exactly what it could do in 2004 but 10x slower with 1000x the computing power. #bloat
For those that may not understand the physics:

There may have been monitors that detected structural issues in the hull (nucleation above), but at the pressures that the Titan was operating at, the amount of advanced warning is likely very, short--_maybe_ a second or two, if that. Probably not enough time to notice and reduce the pressure on the hull in any meaningful way.

The slow-motion porthole cracking you see in movies like "The Abyss" is a fiction created by Hollywood for dramatic effect. The reality is far more likely to be like water freezing in a pipe: everything is fine until it isn't.

The pressure the pipe exerts on the water inside of it keeps the water in liquid form until the temperature drops below the temperature/pressure equilibrium (~10F/-12C for residential copper pipe in the US). At that moment, the super-cooled water transitions from liquid to solid virtually instantaneously. <poof>.

The pipe analogy is the opposite of what would happen in the submersible: the pipe explodes due to internal pressure, instead of implodes due to external pressure. But the pressure going from sustainable to unsustainable in very short order is the same.
literal meaning and widely accepted use meaning do not always align.

I'd also vote for an FPGA Mainboard, ideally Lattice, ideally iCE40, and ideally compatible with Project IceStorm (Yosys, Arachne-pnr, and IceStorm) open source tools:

https://github.com/YosysHQ/icestorm

Think something similar to MiSTer FPGA -- but in a laptop form factor, and able to run all sorts of "soft" CPUs on it, including (but not limited to) the following:

It's hard to find authoritative links, but by all indications I have ever seen or read, implosion is nearly instant.

The pressure differential is large. As soon as the hull gives way it's essentially like a bomb explosion in reverse.

I suppose it's possible that some external piece of the sub might have exploded and left the sub itself stranded but intact on the ocean floor. However, it seems that's not what happened -- pieces of the sub's main body were part of the floating debris field.

It provides some level of comfort to know that the passenger's demise was likely instant as opposed to slow and terrifying.
Yeah, wait, what? I also hadn't heard of that, but if true, that's seriously messed up.
Think of it like a shock wave passing through the cabin and everything in it in time measured in milliseconds. Everything gets very hot basically instantly on the other side of that wave. Water less than gas, I’m too lazy to figure out what would be expected to exactly happen to water, but it would definitely be between getting hot enough to kill and disassociating to elemental hydrogen and oxygen gas. The question is what does a 6000 psi step function look like as it propagates through water.

Having gotten hit on the head in a low speed car accident I wouldn’t worry at all about the suffering through the actual implosion. The speed of the shock wave would be much faster than nerves conduct information.

Very apt link with RHEL effectively going closed source (while technically being open source, but only distributing to paying customers who lose future access if they share).

There's a conversation I had with Ron Buckton, the proposal champion, mainly on this specific issue. [1]

Short answer: Yes, Disposable can leak if you forget "using" it. And it will leak if the Disposable is not guarded by advanced GC mechanisms like the FinalizationRegistry.

Unlike C# where it's relatively easier to utilize its GC to dispose undisposed resources [2], properly utilizing FinalizationRegistry to do the same thing in JavaScript is not that simple. In response to our conversation, Ron is proposing adding the use of FinalizationRegistry as a best practice note [3], but only for native handles. It's mainly meant for JS engine developers.

Most JS developers wrapping anything inside a Disposable would not go through the complexity of integrating with FinalizationRegistry, thus cannot gain the same level of memory-safety, and will leak if not "using" it.

IMO this design will cause a lot of problems, misuses and abuses. But making JS to look more like C# is on Microsoft's agenda so they are probably not going to change anything.

The microwaved popcorn is much crisper. Really surprised me. Not that the whirlypopper is a lot of work but the microwave is even quicker since there is little mess.
It's usually illegal for the person to tell the reporter, but legal for the reporter to repeat what he was told. Notice that the Navy asked (not told) the reporter to withhold certain details.
Right, we agree on that.
Redesign is hard because there always users that like the current/old design. For me the new sidebar looks nice and cleaner (I use it on gitlab.com for 3 weeks now).
Thankfully it wasn't that lazy of a post. But it is often the case, like with links to Twitter, or random words on Wikipedia.

I'd like to see the actual math and sources, though. It is interesting if the factoid is correct, and not some dweeb faking numbers and guessing the effects of those numbers, for a few Facebook views.

You'd expect a post on HN to at least cite or link to a few real sources for those numbers.
I wonder what other projects require so much titanium.

Supposedly the F-14 with it's swivel-swing has a big 1 ton titanium box at the center. And there's a lot of those jets. But this 1.5m sphere that's 9cm thick is quite the huge single chunk of titanium.

More to the point, starting a business will leave you very little time (read: no time) to do any esoteric research [1].

Starting a business consumes -all- your time. It's usually long hours for little pay [1].

[1] for the first 10 years or so anyway. If you can use that time to build a passive-income product, or get big enough so effectively employees are doing your work, then you'll have lots of free time to work on whatever you like. But it's a long play.
The point is that Svelte is a full compiler- you cannot "use svelte" without it.

JSX is an essential, yet entirely optional, concept in React. The output of the transform is incidental to the actual behavior of React, the library.

As such, I wouldn't think it warrants the term "JSXscript" or whatever the post I replied to used.

Depending on how your tool chain is set up, you don't need a custom file extension like ".jsx" for files that need the transform, and React doesn't care about file extensions at all.

Svelte, on the other hand, pushes you to use the ".svelte" extension, mixing and matching tags, changing scoping rules, and so forth. If you were to write by hand what it puts out, you're not really using svelte anymore. It is, in this sense, elevated itself to a language superset.

I'm not arguing one is better or worse, just pointing out why I think they are sufficiently different to quibble over semantics.
LLMs are fundamentally the right interface. The dream of SQL was always to enable more people to query their data with something closer to natural language. Having an LLM in front finally makes this use case feasible. Current LLM capabilities are actually perfect for translating natural language to SQL.
No. I'm pretty darn sure I discussed the criticism and said that it is okay because it is a standard practice (and fine to do specifically against critics). The criticism above that I'm wrong because this is Twitter nixing accounts on account of Tesla talk is a good counterargument, but whataboutism isn't.
