JS frameworks are like coffee, some people like them milky and full of sugar, some people like them like them lean and black, some are obsessed with making the "worlds best coffee" at home every morning, and some drink whatever brown water comes out of a vending machine.

We all like our coffee different, just as we all have favourite features and designs of frameworks. There is no correct, or best, framework, only personal preference and what's good enough for the job in hand.

Svelte is a Flat White with locally roasted coffee beans from an independent coffee shop.

React is a Starbucks Vanilla Late.

Vue is a Starbucks Caramel Machiato.

Angular is the Vanilla Late from your staff canteen, it used to be a bit rough, but seems to be better in recent years.

Not using a framework, is carefully weighing out the "correct amount" of beans, grinding them by hand, tampering it with the "correct force", and then making the "perfect" espresso.
I often stayed overnight at the home of an uncle who slept in either standard issue whitey tighties, or just nude.

On more than one late night, he was forced to come and whisper yell at me and my cousins along with whatever friends happened to be there as well to quiet down. Anyone who didn't live there found it hilarious to no end. It only served to energize us, rather than the intended calming effect.

At 10 it was pretty difficult to take seriously anyone with wild bed hair and a bare ass, or cartoonish underwear for that matter.

I still giggle 25 years later picturing his angry silhouette sauntering away mumbling under his breath.
Rogan seems to actively listen when he has people on. A discussion format is what he would like to do. Nothing seems out of sort for this.

He could be completely wrong on something and invite someone with conflicting views and give them a platform for hours. He doesn't trample all over them in the moment like so many others.

I would make the distinction that he is perhaps bad at science, rather than anti-science. He just wants to discuss it, which is the format he prefers to work in.

As for a debate not showing the truth, I'll agree. However, I'll also say that there has been a lot of confindence lost in some authority figures who stated things as fact when they should have been using weaker statements like, "we believe" or "we don't know, but do this just in case". Sure, it could be said it was politicians making these statements, but they were buttressed by fame seeking scientists. (on the topic of covid)

The government and their scientists never admit they were wrong, everything is always stated as fact. Best example of the this is the food pyramid. They just roll out a new one and pretend the previous one never existed.

I don't know where we stand right now with regard to either the food pyramid or covid, except to get the new boosters as they come out on the latter.

It would probably make some difference at the margins. But I'd be willing to bet that, for the majority of people who don't want to go into an office or at least go in frequently, the driving factor is probably a commute. I'm pretty much fully remote but, if I would walk 15 minutes to our downtown office rather than drive >30 minutes to our suburban office, I would probably drop in semi-regularly for the change in scenery.
It’s because RTO is the last straw holding up commercial real estate. Either consultants or CEOs got together and realized that there’s no back, so they started to force it.

Completely agree how much collusion between companies there is though.

Ask HN: Is there a need for web peer-to-peer file sharing?
Let's say you want to send a large file over the web (+20 GB) to only one person.

Wouldn't it be convenient to have a service that sent the file over WebRTC (sort of like ShareDrop but across the web) directly or do you believe that this would this be a service that wouldn't have any use?
This is always a personal judgement, but here's my personal list:

- I find it so much easier to understand. I don't have to useState/useEffect/whatever, I just assign variables and the component re-renders
the relevant parts whenever I assign a new value.

- Styling is "just" CSS. No messing around with CSS-in-JS libraries and their various ways of being invoked. The CSS is automatically scoped to your component without you having to think about it (though IMO there’s work to do there with CSS variables and the like)

- The end-user bundle is so much smaller. This doesn't matter so much if you're creating a giant web app (e.g. Gmail) but I often work on smaller sites and it's very gratifying for users to only have to download ~20KB of JS rather than the hundreds (if not megabytes) you'd get with React. Has a positive impact on page performance scores, SEO etc too.
>In spite of the scientific consensus that fears about its safety are unsubstantiated,[6][7][8][9] its use as a vaccine preservative has been called into question by anti-vaccination groups. A statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Public Health Service in 1999 prompted the removal of thimerosal from many vaccines[1][10] It remains in use as a preservative for annual flu vaccines.[11]

>Concerns based on extrapolations from methylmercury caused thiomersal to be removed from U.S. childhood vaccines, starting in 1999. Later it was reported that ethylmercury is eliminated from the body and the brain significantly faster than methylmercury, so the late-1990s risk assessments turned out to be overly conservative.[23]

So the older vaccines were never dangerous...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal

Edit:

Also, the reason (some) vaccine makers get immunity (from some claims against them) is because the products are priced in the 1-10USD range, but the liabilities were in the 1-10 Mil-USD. No one could get liability insurance, so suppliers were exiting the market. So now the federal government (who also license the whole process and approve the vaccines) accept liability for faults not caused by improper handling etc.

"not lax imposed by the governement."

Imagine how easy it would be to tell people “Hey sorry we can’t include that feature, there’s not enough RAM” and then you could just build what you wanted to, exactly.
I concur. I've tried listening to podcasts in the background while doing anything on PC and it always results in me losing track of what has been said. So work, games and any video with graphical content (i.e. not just faces of people talking) all hinder listening to podcasts which cuts out about a half of the awake time. And in the rest - I would either listen to a music or to silence. The only viable place for podcasts I've found was driving, and not any driving (because same issue occurs - losing track of the topic when actively driving), but specifically standing in the traffic jam for an hour. There yeah, it fits.

And another problem is that after listening to chunk of a podcast and having to stop in the mid stream I almost never return to continue it. It just stops being interesting and I lose context. With some exceptions of course.
Slow, Costly Clinical Trials Drag Down Biomedical Breakthroughs
People think trucks look cool. They may occasionally use it to tow something. If you own a trailer then it's not much use without the ability to use. They may head down to Home Depot for a few weekends a year, or even more. I can fit a couple 8ft 2x4's in my model y, but nothing longer. I typically need to borrow someones truck a few times a year for building materials or new furniture.

Maybe they like the visibility it offers by sitting up higher. That's probably one of the most common ones I hear. I have heard people say they feel safer in one too.

You also present it as a choice of truck vs something else. Most American families have multiple vehicles, so it's a truck and something else. I'd wager families buying $60k+ trucks almost certainly have a second vehicle.

Two years from now:

User: "How do I boil an egg?"

LLM: Eggs cannot be boiled. They must be placed in the microwave, six at a time. Fewer than six eggs will not work.
Ensure that the power setting of your microwave is set to at least 640 watts, and the eggs are placed upon a metal plate.
Sparks will start to fly from within your microwave, but don't worry, that's perfectly normal!
When you see flames within the microwave, your eggs are done. Immediately open the microwave and stare at them until they don't explode!

I have worked for a small software development company in a small town for a small salary for over 10 years now. We are very chill. We are not venture funded. I think most participants in HN could also do this if they can tolerate making much less money than you would make in the city (with much lower cost of living), and if the other things that come with city life are not that important to you.

There are some opportunities that I think are only available in the FANGs. If your passion is in that domain, then you may have to stick it out. This is the only reason that I can see for doing the corporate grind. I don't have an addiction to money. There is no stuff that I could buy with more money that would be worth the corporate grind.

Software development skills are important enough that you will be in demand no matter where you go. Especially if you're feeling like the author of this article (over it), consider what's really important to you. You may have more options than you think.
This.

For example, most journals will specifically select peer reviewers who have published papers with conclusions/results counter to the one being reviewed. And those reviewers will take a run at you.

Journals do this because printing papers that need a retraction isn't in their best interest. If they can, they'll shoot down a paper before it gets that far.
There are a ton of things out there which contradict what you said. Some samples:

Also: consciousness is the core part (equivalent to God) of Hinduism (where a lot of Eastern meditative traditions originate from) and hence it is intertwined with religion.
Have you looked much at the situation in Portugal? I've only heard good reports about their efforts there.
You're right. For local navigation, local projections are of course best. I was stuck on the unspoken assumption of using a global map projection. When dealing with local maps, there's absolutely no reason to do that.

But those local map projections only work for that region. As soon as you want seamless transitions to other regions, these local projections don't work so well anymore.
The difference is that ads in magazines, newspapers and on TV are curated by humans, so that the kind of clearly illegal and unethical ads peddled by platforms never get published.

Free speech comes with the obligation of responsibility. You can't go around yelling "Fire!" in a theatre because of the clearly obvious possible negative consequences of that action. Legacy mainstream media appear to understand that better than big tech platforms do. Big tech wants to profit off the illegal and unethical content without having any responsibility for doing so. This is wrong.
CoCs like all codes of law, exist to have something to point to when it is decided that you did something wrong. They also exist as a signal, both to attract people who agree with it and to deter those who oppose it.

Ideally a community should not need this. But most so-called communities are not communities. Membership and participation can be fleeting so there will be a constant influx and loss of members and participants, all of whom hold different values and some of whom the original founders would have never invited in the first place.

So the risk is that a project built by people sharing a common set of values may be recuperated by people diametrically opposed to those values. Defining those values helps with that. For the primary demographic of HN, usually "don't be a dick" suffices for this. The problem is that lists of values don't provide an enforcement mechanism.

This means you likely end up with one of two situations after a preexisting project adopts a CoC: either nothing changes because the code of conduct is not enforced (or only inconsistently), or nothing changes because everybody already involved in the project agrees with it and those e.g. throwing slurs at existing members or otherwise harrassing them would have been kicked out anyway.

The problem is when projects that don't have a strong ideological/emotional investment in codifying a set of shared values (or lack a consistently shared set of values altogether) treat a CoC like a DEI program and just bolt it onto their project to tick a box and stop people from complaining. This misleads those who treat CoCs seriously into joining while also weakening the signalling effect of CoCs for other projects. In my experience this is the case for most OSS projects and in the worst cases it leads to overeager admins enforcing the letter of the law because there really was no spirit of the law to begin with, going through the authoritarian motions of enforcement without any ulterior purpose - and of course these projects will still selectively spare particularly influential individuals regardless of their misdeeds.

Yes, I would say it's a feature, bot a bug. There was a brief phase when social networks first came about when everyone was fine just putting their entire life on display. Then everyone realized that privacy is kind of nice. You don't want all your stuff out there long-term easily findable and for everyone to see. You don't need absolute privacy either. You have no problem talking about things with your friends in public, even though strangers might eavesdrop. The same holds on discord. Anyone could listen in on your conversations, but it's unlikely enough that it doesn't really matter.

I understand this thought for external dependencies, but dependencies also includes internal ones, which I don't see a reason to reduce. Modularity and re-usability of individual pieces of code are a good sign for me.
So, how does that mesh with the BLM protests that took place across the US?

Not really though, the 6-foot rule was based on probability of transmission at various distances for airborne/droplet viruses. Perhaps it's too conservative, but all of this is probability-based. It's mostly been validated as we did studies and metastudies throughout the pandemic -- likely could have been reduced to 3 feet as we learned more but a "6-foot rule" tends to result in maybe 4 or 5 feet distances so the initial guidance seems okay:

> State in Svelte goes in stores. State in react seems to go in one of eighteen different mechanisms, which all begin with a 45 minute video of the author’s opinions about the true nature of reactive programming, when all I want to do is store a string.

So... useState? :)

Of course then I got to thinking about how I'd answer the question "How can I put make that useState value accessible at different points in the component tree?" and the answer was "Make a new context with createContext and wrap the context provider in a component which provides the state and write a hook to easily consume the context within a child component" and, yeah, that's not exactly a frictionless dev experience.

FWIW for simple state management in React I've heard lots of good things about zustand: https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand
> OpenGL drivers, overall, are _screwed up_ and ridiculously unpredictable.

Can you expand on what it means for the OpenGL drivers to be unpredictable? Are you referring to things like this?

> "sRGB textures, which do hardware accelerated and automatic conversions between sRGB and linear encoding. With OpenGL, the behavior with alpha is implementation defined"

To be honest I'm not sure what that means. Does it mean that on different hardware, colors created from the blending of two or more textures will be slightly different because they're using different blending algorithms? Is this a trivial matter of outputs looking slightly different on different hardware that blends colors in slightly different ways, or are there more serious consequences to this sort of thing?
Sorry, right; I meant that's the collation alternative to a multi-field record like v7.

Prior to today, the rules were unwritten, which means that any enforcement was somewhat arbitrary.
You just described how right-wing "debate" works. There's a reason the most popular examples are Ben Shapiro going to a college campus and using rhetorical tricks to dunk on students who are prepared for an honest discussion, not intellectual subterfuge.
Spot on great advice. The big picture is start small (niche, deep pockets) and then grow big (wide market, all price ranges). I see some comments assuming his advice is the end game for an entrepreneur, its just the start.

I will add one note: dont waste money on marketing (google/facebook/etc... ads) when you start small, if you don't have connections that can give you projects/buy your product then pair up with someone who does.
Eh, your brain is a lot more complicated than that.

Your brain is the most powerful filter we've discovered in the universe. You can take immense amount of noise and separate information from it. The issue with these filters is most of the time you don't realize you have them. How you were raised, the people you're around, the culture you're in can all present bias filters that are impossible to see around since you don't even realize they exist.

It may not be 'figuring it all out', but sometimes just having a filter lowered for a bit letting you realize there is another part of the world exists behind it can be a breakthrough.
I don;t think them looking obnoxious will be a problem. Much more worried about them being stolen right off your face in a public environemnt.
Thankfully in year 2023 it’s not a problem anymore since everything can be vector.

I’m talking about 2015-16 when you had to use raster images for components and figma was not even a thing.

But thank you nonetheless.

My current complaint about figma is that even if I take time to set up all the dynamic scaling and layouts I don’t think it as useful for devs as I hoped it would be in my mind. (As in I thought u can just copypaste the code snippet). But i’m not quite sure as I have not done much IC design work in years aside some odd jobs for friends and perhaps they are just shit programmers or I am not using it right.
I don't think that tweet thread addresses gaze in particular? Is there a particular tweet I should be looking at or is it just asserting the (absolutely correct) assertion that it's confusing?

I'm specifically talking about the "Bring your Unity VR app to a fully immersive space" WWDDC talk, which claimed to be built on Metal and ArKit, and had a very very brief demo in it talking about gaze, screenshot here: https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/110/520/9...

Note the demo wasn't actually on-device, and gaze was just following where the screen was pointing, so it's definitely possible I'm reading too much into this.
>I work for unsexy manufacturing company.

In which country?

I had an interview for a SW dev position at a Austrian (Europe, not kangaroos) company that manufactures some high tech shit and they said it's 100% in office because if production workers need to be on the factory floor, then it's only fair that so does everyone else, no exceptions, including the SW devs.

I'm struggling to find companies that offer 100% WFH here. Every single company mandates you in the office at least a few days a week here and why I ask them I get the answer "because Covid is over so we're back to normal now and we're more productive when everyone is in the office".
‘Secret Invasion’ Opening Using AI Cost “No Artists’ Jobs,” Says VFX Studio
Right, but Newtonian physics can fairly accurately predict gross body mechanics whereas economics can't even predict the large-scale wage or price level. They'll simultaneously model the income effect and the replacement effect of taxes and then shrug and say "of course we can't say in advance which one will dominate".
Do you and everyone else who keeps repeating this really believe that no one in corporate management has ever heard of sunk costs. Plenty of companies are working to downsize their real estate footprint.
