It is quite long, well written and shares some personal anecdotes, so I really recommend it for anyone interested in the history of the language and its influence.

If you didn't know much about sewing machines, would you buy one over the phone?

I can understand seeing a salesperson in person about a big purchase for some equipment: they can actually show the items to you, let you try them out, etc. You can't do any of that over the phone.

Plus, when you decide to buy the thing, you can verify, visually, that all your information is correct. Again, can't do that on the phone.

> ever-growing list of tasks that you can never finish creates stress and inhibits your motivation

Is an actual thing. Our brain gets overloaded that way while it keeps track of tasks in the background, requiring energy and memory. Writing stuff down helps, but it's still _there_.

You actually have to cross it out or clearly discriminate ideas and actual tasks you want to do and can do within a reasonable time frame.
> Work by amateurs on Linear A does not have a good track record.

Linear A is completely undeciphered, so amateurs have done exactly as well as professionals. Meanwhile, Egyptian hieroglyphs, cuneiform, and Linear B were all deciphered by people who would be called "amateurs" by today's standards.

But hey, why miss an opportunity for elitist gatekeeping, even if the topic is demonstrably one of the least suitable places for it?

Freeloading? The USA spends massive amounts on its military exactly to maintain hegemony, European countries weren't going around the globe to fight pointless wars based on shaky (or completely fabricated) casus belli. There was no reason to spend a lot of tax money on military equipment, training, upkeep, just because. Russia's complete invasion of Ukraine shook Europe's defence outlook and created a reason to invest in it but that's it.

The USA providing security guarantees is not freeloading, it's USA's strategy to hegemony, it's how the USA has kept it...

Investing in defence without participating in wars (or to defend your hegemony) is just a waste of taxpayers' money, it's money that could go to healthcare, to education, or to any other improvement in quality of life of your citizens. I'm very glad that Europe hasn't been burning trillions of dollars on stuff just made to kill people.

I write fiction for fun (just for me, don't ask) and asked it to generate a plot for an elevator pitch version of my big idea at the time. The plot was literally my plot. This confirmed my suspicions that I am a mediocre, at best, storyteller but it also made me wonder how much of what each person thinks makes them individually smart or talented is just mundane crap no better than this system can produce. Chilling to some, maybe, but confirmed my idea that what I'm doing is just for me to enjoy and that's ok.

Ask HN: Real world Svelte speed difference compared to virtual DOM frameworks?
There’s been a lot of hype around Svelte in the web dev world. Especially since it doesn’t use a virtual DOM—and is touted as extremely fast.

I’m wondering what the real world differences are compared to frameworks like React and Vue. Is it truly that much faster than a framework that uses a virtual DOM?

And are there any studies or articles that give a breakdown on real world speed differences?
What is that statement based on? In my country heavy industry has halved in the past 12 months. I know multiple engineers who are now getting into software development because of it.
I use VSCode with one of the neovim extensions for 'IDE tasks' (none of those extensions is perfect though, but they're "good enough"), and a vanilla vim without customization for quick text editing tasks on the terminal (sometimes even within the VSCode terminal panel).

E.g. for me, "vim" is more like an input scheme that works across editors, less a particular product.
It's all very nice but companies had hundreds of years to develop strategies how to circumvent these laws.
Its aerodynamically simpler to have reliable control of a symmetrical system like this. Your pitch and yaw control are the same and your roll control becomes not “unnecessary” but definitely not as critical for controlling the flying craft as it is with “traditional” asymmetric combinations of wings, canards, tails, and other aerodynamic surfaces.

It’s actually pretty easy to experiment with if you have a copy of kerbal space program. Make a “wing tip sitter” with a single fuel tank, engine, and airplane cockpit, then use swept wings with landing legs to keep the engine off the ground and then fire it up and take it for a spin and see how it can “freely” manoeuvre in any pitch/yaw direction and you can remain stable in your flight regardless of roll,

This allows a tube launched system to just pop out the wings and immediately begin manoeuvring based on internal sensors with zero visual ground/sky needed. It’s ok to “level off” immediately at the desired altitude and then immediately turn towards the desired heading and proceed to target. It’s not as aerodynamically efficient (extra wings add mass and in the optimal lift orientation don’t add more lift) but it is more manoeuvrable and that’s valuable in a missile.

If it helps to understand the trade off… You see more traditional wing designs with longer ranged missiles (like Tomahawk cruise missiles), even tube launched ones, where the lift efficiency is desired they design two larger wings in the middle like a “normal airplane” to have the maximum possible lift for their desired speed/drag/weight/size and then have smaller fins at the back for stability with steering by some combination of manoeuvring surfaces and/or engine thrust. They trade the manoeuvring power of this “x” design for the more efficient long range performance of a more traditional wing design.

> Epistemic status: This is a pretty detailed hypothesis that I think overall doesn’t add up to more than 50% of my probability mass on explaining datapoints like FTX, Leverage Research, the LaSota crew etc., but is still my leading guess for what is going on. I might also be really confused about the whole topic.

Best guess: cause and effect reversed in the analysis. There is a fair chance that to join such institutions in the first place that there is already something wrong with you and such environments will do absolutely nothing to help. On top of that any such group is ripe for abuse by someone who pretends to be a true believer but who is actually out to screw those who really are believers because belief is a pretty good mechanism for suspension of actual - not nominal - rationality.
So i just tried it out during a longer 1:1 Session and i noticed I was still worried about how I looked but overall less stressed.
CMSes cover wildly different needs and editors want all kinds of weird things in their articles. And they still need full control of the publishing. This leads to lots of work for us. And I dont even work on cms activity. I also think its weird that this is not more consolidated. One observation: dynamic langauges tend to be more succesful here, possibly because it is faster to make simple plugin systems and simpler to make one-off articles.
When you become a world expert in a very narrow area of a field - like when you do a PhD - I found you discover that around 50% of papers are either pointless, misleading or wrong.

Let me be clear - the largest proportion of those are the pointless ones ( the reader already knew what's in the paper ).

Some of this is because research is hard, a lot of it is because of the immense pressure to publish and the strong bias for positive messages ( this approach is better, we discovered X ) to be published, rather than stuff that says - we tried this but it didn't work etc.

> I hope this is not as bad in medicine and health related research.

Same pressure, same human factors.

There is of course an additional factor in cases like this - if your research hints at a link between talc and cancer - is it ethical not to publish while you wait another 5 years for a longer study?
css selectors

I wasn't recommending those either. roles or testids are much more robust than xpath and selectors.

Robula+

I had a very brief glance over the paper and while it looks a lot better than plain xpath it still has some of the problems that I think make tests flaky. One of the suggested examples is "[contains(text(),'123456789')]" where '123456789' is an input field with that value. If the example text is changed the path will break. It's testing the content of the field, not what the field is* or what the field should do. An alternative would be a selector like 'getByRole('button', {name: 'Telephone'})' (getByRole comes from Jest, but more testing libraries have something like it) means you can change practically everything about the input field (xcept the aria-label or aria-labelledBy value and the test won't break. And, as a bonus, your app will end up more accessible.
Sadly I completely agree with you. Whats even sadder is I recently made a post proselytizing the virtues of neovim over vscode.

The final straw for me was discovering that vscode automatically updates packages and imports when moving files around a java project - something that doesn't seem possible in neovim despite hours of research and lua tinkering.
I think the issue is not with genderization but the choice of using it instead her name or affiliation (University of Nottingham) or country of residence (United Kingdom). Suggesting that "She Turns Fluids Into ‘Black Holes’ and ‘Inflating Universes’” is more “news worthy” than “Dr. Weinfurtner Turns Fluids Into ‘Black Holes’ and ‘Inflating Universes’” which imho is at least a little bit patronizing.

Bit of an aside, but:

> But physicists seek the more fundamental, quantum theory of gravity that underlies Einstein’s picture; it’s this quantum gravity theory that governs extremes like the Big Bang and black holes. And one way to inch toward this complete theory is to study quantum fluctuations in the space-time fabric.

I'm uncomfortable with the implicit framing that quantum gravity is The One True Theory and we just need to figure out how to formalize it. I'm sure this comes from the author and not the researcher, maybe something was lost in translation from the technical to the colloquial, but nonetheless it is still inaccurate to say that there is any kind of certainty that this is the right path forward. (Ditto for dark matter and dark energy, though those could more accurately be described as lacks of models than models per se.)
These comments are quite revealing. The things I see every day are not as obvious as I thought they were.

It is probably awesome to drive around in a well paved place build specifically for mass car use but if you get out of the car its just asphalt everywhere. It's not very exciting when not driving?

If I can't cycle it from the hardware store I have it delivered. The hardware store doesn't have 99.99% of things and its expensive.

People without cars [usually] don't get groceries for a whole week. I did hear people do it but it doesn't sound very appealing/appetizing/healthy/fresh. Someone calculated that if one does 20 min worth of exercise per day the life expectancy goes up by about the same. I live near a store, perhaps I chose to, perhaps we have enough cyclists to make it worth it - I don't know.

Be it Groceries or lawn mowers, just have it delivered.

I've never had to send a package so large but you can just schedule a parcel collection with UPS.

> When I need to go more than 3 miles quickly, a bike doesn't work.

I always point to the (mind blowing) 24 hour cycling distance record: 1026.21 km or 637.66 miles. He didn't just get off the sofa and did that of course. It took quite a bit of conditioning. Could he really be 1000 times more fit? I can't imagine.

I see bike trailers full of babies the year round. I just see a bike with one on the front, one on the back and 2 tiny humans on their own bike in front of it.

People go camping on their bike, there are trailers for your surf board.

kids cycle themselves to school.

There is no need to pick parents up from the airport, if you just let them stand there then they will figure out how to get home themselves in no time. Rent a car, take a taxi/uber?

I suppose it would be cool to own your own airstrip and aircraft and fly the parents wherever they want to go. Of course it would be noisy and take up a huge amount of space. Other peoples personal freedom would have to step aside.

I wonder at what age kids can safely be allowed outside in the destruction derby meat grinder that is car traffic. You cant drive a mile without guts spilled all over the road. Globally we are killing something like one person every 25 seconds and god knows how many animals. In the Netherlands roughly the same amount of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians die in traffic accidents but they are all killed by cars. The odd part to me is that 2/3 of those must be in the city where cars are the least useful.

It probably needs 2 documentary films to show cycling countries how things work in car countries and the other way around. I hear people drive down their driveway to get the mail. Sounds surreal to me.

That's not the original phrasing because that's from 1990, have a look at the wiki page you linked. The original problem does not specify that Monty will never open a box with the keys in. The game would still work if this was the case as Monty offers to buy the box before doing so. In the original problem, Monty says the chance is 1/2, which would actually be true if they had opened them randomly. (edit - a game where the host offers to buy the box you have before another one is opened is essentially the end part of deal or no deal).

Even the 1990 version however is ambiguous when it comes to puzzles. It just says they open a door which has a goat.

The solution originally posted explicitly assumes it to be the case, which is fine.
If you squinted hard, the first iPhone was practically a 2001 PowerBook G4 (or a 2000 Power Mac desktop) in a pocket format. The CPU and GPU architectures were different but the performance was roughly the same. On the software side, all the OS underpinnings were carried over from Mac OS X even though the high-level UI framework had been trimmed down and somewhat redesigned for touch.
> Clearly there must be additional Linear A inscriptions in Crete and possibly elsewhere.

There are probably many of them in storage in various museums and antiquities departments.

The vast majority of ancient inscriptions ever found are uncatalogued, and some have never even been looked at. This includes inscriptions in languages we already know how to read. I remember reading long ago somewhere that well over 90% of all known Egyptian hieroglyphics texts haven't been translated yet.

Therefore, my guess is that once AI is good enough to do classification and translation automatically, there will be rapid progress, without requiring any new discoveries.
It's also the only widespread format that can deal with both rich text documents (à la HTML) and complex, structured data (what JSON is good for). It's golden when you need to add tons of complex annotations to a text document.
Nope it's because it's the only 4K of memory that BASIC did not use and that wasn't mapped under the system ROM; so it was a common place where to put assembly language code to be loaded with a BASIC program, or to be used while the BASIC interpreter was running. Cartridge ROM can appear at various places since they have access to the memory bus but $C000 can't be used as the only place for cartridge ROM.

> Capitalism is simply the economic system for the extraction of wealth from the poor to the wealthy where once it was from the poor to the monarch and the artistocratic class (ie feudalism). That's it. Someone will be tempted to pipe up with something about "free markets". Markets are commerce. They happen in every economic system.

Capitalism is buyer, seller, marketplace, and sufficient regulation to prevent sellers from buying the marketplace.

Materialism, not captialism, leads to the class distinctions that the Marxists fetish (as they boost themselves into aristocracy while shrilly claiming to give a French frigate's fo'c's'le about the workers).

The proper remedy for the excesses of capitalism is ensuring competition in the marketplace, to stabilize the system.

While what you write is more or less true, the biggest problem here is that compilation is OPTIONAL. Red scripts can run in the interpreter just fine and TBH I use compile very rarely.

it's a dynamic language with optional compilation, so complaining that the compiler is slow isn't very fair.

The compiler is written in Rebol (language Red is based on) which is dynamic language also, so that's why it's slow. Rebol itself is written in C and its scripts can't be compiled. You can of course bundle the script with the interpreter which is ~1-2MB with OS dependencies only.
