> As others mentioned you have things like Boost, the Go standard library, or even libc (of which there are multiple implementations). There's no reason why you couldn't have a JavaScript standard library, or multiple. They don't have to be shipped with the browsers, in fact I think that would be a bad idea. So when you start a new JavaScript project, you pull in your favorite standard library and when you ship your code, the bundler or whatever it's called could analyze your code pull out the relevant bits of the standard library and only include the bits you need.

That is kinda-sorta how things work, except JS devs like to split code up into smaller modules.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest?activeTab=dependencies has 4 dependencies, if you look at @jest/core a lot of its dependencies are in fact other parts of the same project.

The lack of batteries included means there is a lot more room for diversity, if someone wants to write a new server to compete with express (and plenty of people have) they can follow the same middleware API standard and you can swap our your existing web server for another one but your ORM will still work!

Also a minimum viable JS Rest endpoint is literally 4 or 5 lines of code. Getting cors working is 2 or 3 lines more (based on if you count the import statement as a LoC).

Adding schema validation to an endpoint is another 2 LoC.

The number of concepts needed to be understood to setup an endpoint in Node land is minimal, and you can then build out whatever tools you want on top.

If you want a batteries included framework, there are also plenty of those, from fullstack systems Sveltekit and Next.js to multiple starter templates for backend services that give you whatever tools you wanted.

People go "Python has Django" and there are huge advantages to having a single golden path, but Node has a richness in the ecosystem that lets people start off small with and choose what tooling is best as their projects grow.

And at the end of the day, an ORM is going to require N lines of code, it doesn't matter if it is bundled with a framework of it is an external dependency.

> As for the 2x part... it's cause their bid was 2x what SpaceX bid itself. And both got their bids accepted.

Mostly.

NASA did just give Boeing extra money for some pretty dubious reasons.

> NASA instead requested Boeing “propose prices for additional flexibilities to fill an anticipated crew access gap, including shortening its lead times for rocket and spacecraft production,” the report states. After what OIG described as “prolonged negotiations,” NASA agreed to pay Boeing an additional $287.2 million for those mission flexibilities.

> The OIG report concluded that much of those payments were not necessary, since there were other methods to provide schedule flexibility to mitigate gaps in crew access to the station. The report specifically notes that, five days after NASA agreed to the additional payment to Boeing, the company submitted a proposal to NASA offering to sell five Soyuz seats it has acquired from Russian company RSC Energia for $373.5 million.

> The report concluded NASA’s payment of $144 million to accelerate the timetable for two of the four Starliner missions was unreasonable, and that it overspent by $43 million when it granted Boeing authorization to proceed on one Starliner mission a year earlier than necessary.

> OIG also criticized NASA for not giving SpaceX, the other company with a commercial crew contract, an opportunity for offering its own proposal to address any gap in crew access to the ISS. “In our judgment, contacting both providers would have been a prudent approach to maximize the Agency’s options while also ensuring fairness,” the report concluded.

I like the idea of an initiative for applications to provide metadata for any window manager to handle them more intelligently. Letting the user quickly fill in the gaps in the meantime for local applications would also be nice.

I've played with super detailed Unux WMs (bspwm?) and I've also started using Powertoys FancyZones on Windows and in both cases it's a lot of setup that only works ideally for rather specific situations.
Look up King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard if you want complex music. Polygondwanaland especially if you want something really out there.
It's behind by some weeks on major, contributing new features is difficult because most dev effort seems to be on integrating upstream. It is a great easy path for the less technical to 'more privacy', but pretty much if you are a developer just harden it yourself IMO.
I don't want to play devil's advocate, but when I consider the history of personal computing it would almost surprise me if this didn't get through. From locked-down smartphones having become the norm to windows having turned into a carrier for advertisements, this just seems like the next step in some inevitable evolution of IT.

Maybe news agencies aren't much interested because this is still only an early proposal, but considering its implications I find it striking how little it seems to be talked about on the web (outside of hackernews). Rossmann seems to be the only one with a video on the topic up on Youtube. There's only a handful of Twitter results for "web environment integrity api" with next to no replies to them. When I look the keystring up on reddit the only result with a noteworthy amount of debate is not related to WEI at all. Social media is probably just on its last legs, but it doesn't seem like too many people that care are left to fight for what the web, or even general computing, used to be.
Multiple seconds...I've worked on binaries that take 20 minutes to link.

We have no idea how they could be traveling through space. They could be using something like the alcubierre drive which wouldn't be affecting by dust or microscopic things in space puncturing the craft, they'd just get warped around the craft with the rest of space.

Plus, space is so vast and lightspeed is so slow, I can't imagine plotting a trajectory to avoid stars/planets would be at all difficult for a society so advanced.

> Software doesn’t just work anymore. The platform that executes it is constantly changing.

It depends on the software. But where this is true, it's not because of some innate nature of software, it's because of business decisions software companies have made.
The president of Stanford was caught pressuring his team to fabricate data for years, so this is likely pervasive everywhere in academia nevermind much higher pressure environments with lots of competition like elite institutions in India and China.
SpaceX has a fail safe where the human capsule can eject, I hope Boeing also have this
there was this:

also the scandals in standford and harvard.

also this https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=202307201... which is bad because the academia is intended to be above this "petty geopolitics". as far as I know academic collaboration didn't quite stop either during the cold war, but I was born after it was over so I don't really know this, might be wrong.

and more than all these, the whole sci-hub debacle is the biggest telltale.

this is not about good or bad science, but about the money incentives.

maybe I'm in a news-bubble, but I also see things about postdocs being a fraud, even PhD's are now a dubious gamble?

and then I add my personal experience doing a masters at a public 3rd world country university, and I just hope it burns to the ground, which is a bad idea to dwell on.

If that is the case, what stops people from setting up bot farms to gathering millions of valid keys per origin, and then passing them off to requesting users to use with unapproved devices? Seems like the same choke point still exists, in that captchas may be required to prove the token requestor is human.

And since you also could do it maliciously in the sense that you could fire and forget requests if you didn't care about the token, you could spoof your ip across the range of all residential ips to try and force captcha rate limiting on everyone that requests an attlestation.
There's certainly more than 0 risk.

I do hiring at my company. If a candidate showed me non-public code during an interview, they're an immediate no hire. Interview is immediately over. This isn't my personal preference or anything either. It's specifically in our interview training.

It demonstrates a clear inability to protect company IP. That's a big deal. Especially if you're a publicly traded company.
I think you've used a wrong link. There's nothing about cognitive side effects on there. Also, the OP is talking about indoor ventilation and much higher concentrations than our atmosphere has even today.

From the OP:

> There does not seem to be a clear dose-response relationship between CO2 levels and cognitive performance

It also cites studies where concentrations in the thousands ppm were used where no effect was measured.

As a probably ignorant aside, I don't get how it should affect cognition. Don't we have massive amounts of CO2 in our lungs at all times?
That’s more of an indictment of Meta than an argument against uncensored user-to-user communication.
It does, the superconductor thread from yesterday had the same issue.
Yes, the name slipped from my mind, thank you for pointing that out!

With type classes however you mostly switch to the codata/protocol view, you can't pattern match on "the things that implement the type class" anymore and you have to rely on the methods provided by the type class.
Yup— that’s what I meant. dates and engineers don’t work well together
Yeah. The new habit was to illegally download music from the Web instead of buying it on CD or from iTunes. Or do you think that around the millennium, people suddenly lost interest in music?
The average price of a home as a percentage of income has not lowered at all. Who cares if you can get a shitty Walmart branded TV that will last for 5 years before you have to throw it away, when you have no house to put it in?

With a bit more work to not surprise the user and not break the window organization (e.g. the user really wanted these two windows next to each other), this mosaic paradigm could actually be really cool. Looking forward to see how it develops. If the kinks are worked out I may very well switch over from i3.

> As you open more windows, the existing windows move aside to make room for the new ones. If a new window doesn’t fit (e.g. because it wants to be maximized) it moves to its own workspace. If the window layout comes close to filling the screen, the windows are automatically tiled.

I can see this part being really cool, when the user doesn't care about the layout, and really, really, annoying when the user does care.

Side note: the article should really have made a comparison between a tiling wm like i3 and this new mosaic concept, not between gnome tiling and mosaic...i3 is still way better and they'd do well to compare to the actual 'state of the art'.

Petrol cars are transported without fuel and not a significant fire hazard. Lithium battery can combust spontaneously because of a manufacturing defect or damage and once fire started it is near impossible to put off. Number of electric car is growing and how to transport them safely is still an open question. Guess that's why it reported.

A fire on an oil tanker is also hard to impossible to put off once significant amount of oil/fuel starts to burn and it usually covered in news.

20 crashes,

At out current level of airline safety, how many flights would we need to fly to get to 20 crashes.

We must be close to around 1 crash a year?

So 20 years... In 1 year we have around 20 million flights... 400 million flights to get to 20 crashes.

I'm gonna assume advanced aliens are at least an order of magnitude better. There isn't a billion of these things in the sky..

So yeah, there safety level for such an advanced thing seems a bit shit.

I just don't believe they would crash this often to even have 10-20 crafts.

The whole premise seems absurd.
Part of Expo's approach is for Expo apps to be native apps that provide a user experience that is native to the underlying platform, whether it's Android, iOS, the web, or something new.

For instance, navigation is one of the more complicated parts of an app's UX. The navigator UI has many subtle behaviors and animations that have been built over the course of several years, like how the back button and screen headers transition in and out. The gestures often have invisible hit boxes that are hard to replicate without using the system UI components. The screen transitions use specific animation curves users expect. And there's non-visual behavior like supporting universal deep links that take the user to a specific screen, which tends to require quite a bit of work to implement.

Expo uses the system UI components and the behaviors described above are present. The goal is for Expo UI to be native UI. And in some aspects, Expo can already provide a better default user experience like with universal links. Every screen gets a URL with Expo Router since URLs are a first-class concept, like they are on the web. This lets us provide deep linking (navigate from URL to a screen) and universal linking (HTTPS links work across web and native) as default features.

Sometimes the way we talk about Expo is that it brings together the best of native and web, and a lot of that is the user experience of native applications with the developer experience of the web.

Ehh. I was in high school and college throughout the '90s and still think pop music quality peaked sometime between 1966 and 1986. It's not necessarily an age thing. I mean, I remember thinking that at the time too.

There are still tons of great musicians and bands making new music today, but the stuff that most people are familiar with is dreck compared to what most people were familiar with fifty years ago.

Among other things is that popular attention, once focused by a handful of local radio stations and three national broadcast networks (in the US), has been atomized by a billion channels. The stuff that gets shoved down the big expensive earball-rich pipes is pablum for broad but weak appeal, processed by self-affirming accountants and algorithms, to a degree it simply was not a generation or two ago. It's simply not the same.

Yep, would probably be the dawn of a new era if proven to be true publicly.

When people talk about stories like this they're invariably discussing the numerator without the denominator. Count up every story about research malpractice that has ever been on HN, and you're not even in the vicinity of 1% of all the research done every year; a truly huge amount of research is published every year, in every field.
I too agree that music was ruined once loud orchestra's were formed. The only good music was chamber music. Orchestras anonymized the musician and were basically the end of musicianship.

If you read that more carefully you'll see that the letter writer isn't complaining about Beethoven or his music but that his imitators can't do it as well as he does.

He's not complaining that the burgeoning romantic movement sucked compared to the true classical music from his youth but that the quality of the music being produced has tanked because the new practitioners suck at making it: Beethoven, because he was a genius and could get it right, gave them carte blanche to break the rules that previously kept the music good.

Although it's true to say that Beethoven didn't know how to stop.
Not sure how to feel about more windows, but the idea that first window shouldn't take all space is certainly good. If someone will come up with better intelligent control over that placement, that will take into account actual windows length (who knows, maybe even ML for learning typical window sizes used by an operator) that will be a killer feature.

Default sizing is one of my pet peeves with i3, even if it is the whole idea of tiling managers. You open first window and it takes entire screen space, meaning that with 32" screen (and even 27"), you need to look to the far left side for actual task (e.g. if it is a terminal, or code editor with column limit of 80 chars, dictated by code style). Then you open another window and you look straight into border between those 2 windows - your app isn't centered. etc etc

I have small bind in i3 that helps a bit, but it works only with one window

okay, could you be more spesific - what kind of improvement can we expect in storage? Is the improvement measurable - like will I be able to buy more kilowathours of storage per dollar?
My comment is based on the current understanding of physics and the odds of some creature capable of defying that being able to even be hidden.

I would love for us to find evidence of life in the universe which is why I despise this charade which takes attention away from the scientists who are actually trying to do so. But apparently SETI is in on it too or some other nonsense.

It is also for when you are comparing two explanations that do an equally good job of explaining empirical data.

"Google is an advertising company and does whatever leads to more profitable advertisements" does a much better job of explaining Google's actions than "Google just wants to build the best possible browser", so it should be preferred even though it is a more complicated explanation.
Yeah, that's more about emotional validation for the UFO believers than anything about actual facts.
How egocentric. Its just as likely, maybe more, that an interplanetary species would view us as we view ants.

Do you watch locusts multiply and consume all before them then zoom in and watch the drama unfold between the individuals in the swarm? Or do you stand back and think "stupid things, they'll be hungry soon enough".
The Alpha was the first machine I saw with something approaching a modern heat sink. In that era the thing was ridiculous.

It was the next generation of Intel and AMD hardware where users started learning about heat sinks. Things like you could fry your CPU in under a second if you accidentally turned it on with no heat sink.
Perhaps: "Did an agent with intent, from outside the otherwise unaffected progression of our earthly sphere, influence the course of history?"
No, ultimately the managers and executives can do nothing without the engineers. At the end of the day some engineer has to build the thing, and no one is holding a gun to their head to do so. They are willingly trading their time for money to do work that makes the world a worse place for us and a better place for Google.

But my point is why is that the alternative? Why am I training my AI on anonymous jobbing actors whom I have to pay per use, instead of any old anonymous generative face? There are already film trailer-esque videos of 'people' generated by Midjourney or similar, and then some other image->video processor, on YouTube.
Consider the fact that there are thousands of environmental predictions. Are some right? Of course, some are. Perhaps only due to the fact that some HAD to be right given a normal distribution of predictions. That could just be survivorship bias. IDK.

To find environmental predictions that didn't happen try a google search for "Environmental Predictions that didn't happen", I promise you won't have to dig for results to find what you're looking for.

In the lists in various articles you'll find, notice that these predictions are often made by credentialed scientists from prestigious institutions, not an overhyped journalist making leaps from a scientific paper they don't understand.

One of biggest problem with the climate science is that it suffers from a selection bias. I think most people who go into that field already have their mind made up and their goal is to affirm their belief. And if they didn't, they'd be an unfunded nobody labeled a crackpot...as the skeptics/moderates often are.

> Hence the idea that it is a kind of toxin (not a “poison” if I understand the terms correctly)

The way I understand it, poison is an umbrella term that includes toxins, venoms, and chemicals. Its definition is basically "is harmful to living beings", while the other three are specific types/sources of harmful.

Edit: Ended up looking it up, looks like I got poison and toxin backwards. Toxin is the umbrella term.

While the Loudness War is indeed a race to the bottom for the dynamic quality of audio, it would have occurred sooner if the medium for recorded music had allowed for it. Vinyl records simply cannot go as loud as today's modern records because of physical limitations in the medium.

Nevertheless, for 70+ years producers, record executives, and artists have been using every sonic trick at their disposal to make their record "pop" and stand out from the competition. The advent of digital audio simply opened up more headroom with which to push the record.
As a C++ dev, this kind of project makes me dream.
