I think this article is focusing a lot of attention on a rather arbitrary aspect of web apps, and suggesting some bad conclusions.

Taking the example from the article... if you want to present bank account information to a user and allow them to take actions on it, then focusing on HTML (and CSS) is a great idea.

However, the data is going to be stored somewhere, and you're going to want to retrieve it and transform it into the desired presentation HTML for your app. In the case of the article, you could say describe these two operations abstractly like this:

retrieveAccountInfo(dataSource) -> (accNo, balance, status)
presentAccount(accNo, balance, status) -> HTML

so the page HTML is determined like this:

presentAccount(retrieveAccountInfo(dataSource))

In the "hypermedia" option from the article these two operations run server side in an unspecified way, while for the "rest" option retrieveAccountInfo is implemented as at HTTP GET returning JSON and presentAccount runs in the browser.

presentAccount is just as logically coupled to retrieveAccountInfo in the "hypermedia" case as it is in the "rest", and possibly somewhat more coupled in terms of infrastructure, depending on what's going on at the application server. The application state is determined in exactly the same way.

Of course, there are tradeoffs between running application code server side vs client side. But it really has nothing to do with hateoas and decoupling, and the article doesn't touch on it. (One of the big advantages to running the app server-side is that there's no need for client-side javascript -- this makes the htmx approach -- where the app runs server side but you also need client-side javascript -- a bit questionable, IMO.)
The updated preprint gives Tc of 104.8 degC. I am not a material scientist and do not know much about superconductors, but cursory glance on some of the charts in the paper suggests that the real Tc of sample they measured is somewhat lower that that, but still well above room temperature.
Minor correction: 802.3bt added 51W (Type 3) or 71W (Type 4). 60W isn't a standard power level. Some switches support up to 95W per port with PoH.
cheaper and bigger batteries? always replaceable in the future? And tbh laptop batteries are not meant to be used 24/7, personally would avoid it.
My browser has no idea how to interact with a proper HATEOAS conforming REST API, I would be doing that, the browser would just show me responses. And if one claims that this is all that is necessary, because the API response already contains some HTML form for me to interact with, then you have done nothing but relabeled web applications as REST APIs and API responses are just a web pages.

How do you consume an OData API without baking the structure of it into your code in one way or another? And just rendering generic list and detail views does not count, I think, that will most likely not provide any good user experience.
Unified style is overrated. London is gorgeous and it's because of its mixing of modernity with the ancient. It feels fluid and alive. Same with Tokyo. Feels magical. By comparison, old European cities feel like tombs.
The transistor was unequivocally the biggest technological breakthrough since fire
The EmDrive was first publicized in 2001, but wasn't picked up by the mainstream media until 2013, and then again in 2016 after NASA picked it up. That Korean scientists have this discovery on their hands and the materials world is racing to keep up, and isn't frontpage of the New York Times, is editor's choice. Currently, that's Joseph Kahn, but (unfortunately) science ranks below politics and sports and business.

Adobe's web-based JPG to PNG converter is exactly like this. Upload a JPG, hit convert - it uploads the file, processes it on their end, and then refuses to give you the result until you "sign up for a free adobe account that we conveniently didn't tell you about until now!"

Similar enough - some shopping websites will grab your email address when you start doing a guest checkout but eventually decide not to purchase from them.
They'll then start spamming you without your consent a day later.

Ransom sign-ups belong in the same tier of horrible.

Modern downloadable software does this too. You download a "free" partition manager or "free" PDF converter, or whatever "free" - you install it, get through their wizard/main workflow to do what you want, but then it says "oops, sorry, you have to pay for this!"

Anti-consumer stuff it all is. What a shame software and websites like this are allowed to exist.
In other countries you can order the exact car you want. In the U.S., dealers make that incredibly difficult unless you agree to pay a huge premium. That alone is worth the abolishment of dealerships. Not to mention the time you waste haggling on price.

A car salesman in the U.S. will try to sell you a trim you didn't want. They'll sell you a color you didn't want. They'll sell features you didn't want. All because that's what their current inventory dictates.

Here's a question for all the free-market enthusiasts:
If the car dealer model is supposedly so great for both sides, then why didn't it spawn organically? Why did it require special regulation to bring it into existence? Wouldn't the free market forces have done this on their own?

The current model in the U.S. is insanity and I can't understand how anyone whose job doesn't depend on it, defends it.
Does this read like an attack against Apple laptops specifically, or something? Already -2 five minutes after posting it.

Leaving as-is for feedback. I don't get the controversy. I could've been a jerk and said just buy a UPS - this is an established concept.

I probably do, hence checking "hacker news", not "hacker visual novels".
Because it is functionality they really need for other (legit!) reasons, and since trying to turn it into an anti-adblock technology would be a PR and regulatory nightmare, and make it harder to ship for the uses they actually need it for.

Lying tends to be stupid, especially for a company under so much scrutiny.

IE successfully killed Netscape, then proceeded to do nothing for 10 years, not improving, not fixong bugs and vulnerabilities, showing that the only effective way of constructing applications would be desktop applications. I mean, windows-only desktop applications. Or maybe ActiveX windows-only webpages.

Then Firefox came from the ashes of Netscape.
> Social change doesn’t come from posting

I have to disagree with this. Change happens because people want change. And they want change because they have been convinced of its benefits. Posting plays a role here.
The thing that stands out to me is that the DFT simulations show that the flat bands only occur in a particular crystal structure of the material and it is not the most stable state (at least according to the simulation). This would explain the synthetic challenges involved. These simulations are not perfect, but they can be VERY useful when guided by experiment and when they correlate strongly it is a good sign that you have a mechanistic explanation of the phenomenon.
I know a couple railroad engineers. They basically had to give up drinking because they could lose their job.

They do some kind of test that can pick up if you drank in the last couple days.

The way they assign shifts too causes the problems. If a shift pops up, they wanna take it, and that could happen at any time.

In any case I'd wager it's related to the hangover problem. You don't want a tired, distracted (by headaches or whatever), grumpy person moving 12000 tons.
Drugs do way less damage than cancer by a long shot. Even illegal drugs kill less people, and you don’t solve illegal drugs by banning drugs, the millions of illegal drugs aren’t going to turn in themselves

We do need drug control but it is an absurdly tiny issue compared to cancer. Barely anyone dies in mass overdoses with legally purchased drugs, it’s up there with lightning strikes

There’s also practicality. E.g. in the first set of pictures, the rejected “modern” one featured balconies, and perhaps a garden level in the middle (based on the amount of plants).

Responding to modern needs with modern solutions might be easier without having to match the traditional style.

In that case your REST API is just a new name for web application and your API responses are just web pages.

What to me is evident that cost-optimization is at least as much to blame for ugliness as is the choice of style. It is striking how in the two norwegian examples in the article the "not ugly" examples have presumably far less floor area, making them less cost effective. Also bulk housing made to cost by bottom of barrel architects isn't a good starting point for having pretty buildings.
Local Overrides does what? Problem is that the devtools are not available due to the repeated abuse of the debugger and console clear commands. The other problem is storing content on the local disk for study. I don't think devtools do that.
SEEKING WORK | Portland, OR | Remote
I'm David, a programmer with over 20 years' experience. Most of my career has been back-end focused, and that's where I'm at my best, but I can get things done across a full stack.

I like to solve problems with code. Most recently I've been working in Python and Rust, but over the years I've also done tons of work in C, Perl, Clojure, Go, Ruby and more.

I particularly enjoy the challenge of working with legacy systems; if you need someone on hand to troubleshoot and maintain (or even migrate away from!) an abandoned-but-still-important system, maybe I can help.

Currently looking to fill roughly 10 hours/week.

Contact in my bio. Hope to hear from you soon :)
It's moving all the time. Next year you won't be able to skate the same locations as of today because of this :(
It’s very simple: at the time, MS controlled the market for consumer and office computing. There was no such thing as Bing and Google was just getting started. Apple was not doing well, and mobile phones as we know them didn’t exist yet. They understood browsers to be a platform that could replace desktop software, potentially making Windows irrelevant, and they wanted to hold back and/or control the web platform.
The subsequent prequel "A deepness in the sky" is also well worth a read.
I suspect this is fake but cannot delete the HN post now. How can someone do this but all these national labs cannot. It must be a fake.

As an academic mathematician-turned-software engineer, I can assure you my reasons for leaving academia were not a “monomaniacal focus on financial gain”. The money and job security didn’t hurt, but the real turning point for me was solving the two-body problem.
This is one of my favorite sci-fi books of all time (as you can tell by my username!). It has such deep and original world-building, three-dimensional characterization, an interesting plot, and its conception of the future is firmly rooted in the days of the early internet, so it's a pleasure for me as a fan of retrofuturism.

If anyone likes this book and hasn't read John C. Wright's The Golden Age series, I can't recommend it enough.

Wouldn't that just make gold even more valuable (and thus more killing will ensue, even ignoring the high energy weapons).

Calling it junk science is probably overly stated. Seems the largest confounding fact is that different strains of rats have different propensities to addictions. I can see why that would be a scary thing to look at in humans.
Or Firefox and other browsers against WEI gain a significant userbase that these websites can't use WEI to discriminate.
Eh I don't know. I would guess in some States that implemented dumb policies it could be the case.

WA and CO are where my experience was. The product is more often than not cheaper than the black market prices were.

It was pretty common for a black market eighth to cost 40-80 dollars, and you're looking at 20-60 dollars for legal stuff now even with taxes. It's a bit more expensive in WA but I'd say comparable to black market prices.

That's not even to mention the convenience aspect. You can buy a joint that will last a moderate user all evening for like 5 dollars. No need to roll it yourself and all that.
Right. There's nothing to write about (yet!), but their science reporter is scrolling science twitter harder than we are. The movie can come later.
Tokyo is "gorgeous"? Really? There's a reason publicity photos are always either neon-drenched alleys (hiding the buildings) or aerial photos zoomed out so far the city becomes grey paste with Mt Fuji in the background.

Hi! What a great personal project! I was trying to scrape a page and use GPT to analyze it, and then send me an email IF there was a certain type of (fuzzily defined) content on the page. How would I add the conditional check/step on the email block? Thanks!
Yes, that's essentially their point—REST started as a description of a good hypertext architecture and was coopted to describe just about any JSON API. HATEOAS only makes sense in the original context.

> In the early 2000s the concept of REST was appropriated from its initial conceptual environment as a description of the early web into other areas of web development
This is one of my favourite sci-fi books. I'd put it up there with the Three Body Problem trilogy. Incredibly imaginative and a great story.
Kiki is pretty sad though. It's the definition of a coming-of-age story and the ending is not particularly upbeat.
The solution is simple: we treat Im drug addiction as a disease.

This means using testing as to detect outbreaks. Schools should be allowed and encouraged to test students, as long as a positive test results in a trip to the doctor, not prison.

We shouldn’t force law abiding adults into treatment, but if they break the law, like vagrancy, treatment should be an alternative to gradually increasing prison time.

Treat it like we treat COVID. Test and treat. Vaccinate and manage. But if you refuse testing and treatment, you’re on your own.

Using a `debugger;` statement allows you to trigger a breakpoint with code.

This only gets activated when the devtools window is opened, so placing this statement in a frequently executed piece code will continuously interrupt whatever you are doing in the devtools when you use them.

I assume in the past the tooling might not have had the necessary configuration options to suppress that, but nowadays you can just disable debugger statement breakpoints to avoid it.

If you know a bit about AI you may know that learning algorithms generally have variable learning rates. Typically learning rates are high to begin with then slowly drop as the algorithm progresses.

The reason for this is that early in the learning process you want find answers that are approximately correctly quickly so later you can refine and perfect them.

This high -> low learning rate strikes a balance between the importance of finding answers quickly vs spending time to perfect an answer.

If you keep the learning rate high the learning algorithm will be unfocused and constantly consider new potential answers. If it's kept too low it will waste time perfecting answers that are completely wrong.

Humans seem to do something similar. Children (especially new borns) learn extremely rapidly. Then as we age we tend to learn slower and mostly just refine existing views. Generally people don't change radically past their teenage years and by our early teens years we typically have a good sense for who we are and what we might become.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that it's extremely important that people are exposed to things like language and maths from an early age otherwise it becomes difficult to ever master them.

For example if you don't play a musical instrument as kid although you might be able to learn later in life you're unlikely to ever become a great musician.

Of course individual also have some varying amount of hard-wired intellectual capability – some people have genetic learning disabilities, others seem to be uniquely gifted in their ability to learn.

I think the answer to your question is difficult to answer because it largely depends on what you mean by intelligence. This hypothetical individual you describe would probably score extremely poorly on any traditional IQ test and would never fully grasp language.

However, there's not reason to think they wouldn't be very capable in other ways. They may have very good hand-eye coordination. They may be very good at communicating with orangutans. They may have an instinctive understanding of the rainforest and environment they grew up in. Whether you class that as intelligence is really up to you.

That said, in my opinion intelligence is can typically be defined as cognitive tasks that humanity collective deem important. So if you take a more traditional definition then no, this individual wouldn't be considered intelligent because they probably wouldn't be good at language, math and logic puzzles.
Governments are implementing accounting mechanisms for CO2 emissions too, e.g. CO2 certificates, CO2 tax. So why not think of other accounting systems that can help make people accountable for their actions?

Plus, I like to think that IT can save the world :)

In the 1970s/80s, an hour of minimum wage could afford you about 7 big macs. Now, it will not even buy you one. Real wages have dropped to an all time low, and it is harder than ever to account for yourself as a working class citizen. Circumstances for the average American have devolved to nightmarish levels, and it seems that it is only going to get worse.

It has been said that inflation is not a bad thing because median wages will increase alongside it. In practice that has not been the case. In 2014, when I was asking for $15 an hour, my rent was $740. Now that I'm getting $15 an hour, my rent is $2,400 and I need several room mates just to get by. Inflation is not a bad thing if wages increase in correlation to it, but if they DON'T, then it functions as a tax on our future. The vice is tightening, things are becoming miserable, and a growing number of our children and our future are turning to hard drugs and escapism as a way of coping with it.

The 1% has managed to enslave everyone else; people grow apathetic, and take drugs, because, really at this point, who cares?
