TypeScript is obviously one of those 80/20 languages, and I like programming in it accordingly. But fighting the type system is one of the easier tasks a programmer could spend their time on if reliability was significantly improved via type safety. For example, null pointer static checking is a bit of a pain but has a significant pay off that probably makes it worth it.
Though Storybook now supports Vite as well, I like Histoire because it cuts down on boilerplate, especially for Vue 3 projects.
Lets not drag Japan into this. They have very high standards in research despite the few examples you gave here, some of which are not even science related.

As a widely accepted measure of this, you can read about the many nobel laureates from japan.

Anyways lets keep politics out of the discussion. It was not my intent anyway, in case you perceived it that way.
> All it needs to do is kill enough of the population that what's left can't survive.

Obviously. That’s very low though. From history we know we survived a near extinction event where the human population declined to the neighborhood of ten thousand.

It would be extremely unlikely.
I would not want to go in any days without a permanent desk.
so this really does happen then? Because I used to be convinced it wasn't a coincidence when I saw ads online for some niche uncommon topic I had recently talked out loud about.
I remember going to a general community-run tech conference in Vienna in 2002 and there was a talk on PostgreSQL which I'd never heard of at that point (had been using MySQL and Oracle). The person giving the talk was a nerd and quite enthusiastic, and quite sad that PostgreSQL wasn't more popular. Come to think of it, I guess that person is happy now :)

So I would say it was already "cool" at that point (albeit not in wide use, at least in my circles).

We weren't too happy with Oracle (pricing), and we'd only moved to that after being unhappy with MySQL in 2000 (no transactions!). I think PostgreSQL would have been a good choice for us, and I did give it a try, but migrating all the data out of Oracle just didn't really seem possible (Oracle didn't provide great export tools as you can imagine, and a "SELECT col1 || "," || col2 .." type of thing to produce a CSV would have taken hours per table and we had a few dozen tables, so would have either resulted in days of downtime, or some funky logic with a lookup table to say which database a user was in and moving them over one-by-one, but then what about FKs? what about a "messages" table where one user sends a message to another? etc. So on Oracle we stayed until the end of the product around 2012.

Just a guess: they could buy domain names that are available and for some reason get queries. For example often misspelled domains. This would not be forbidden but still a little shady.

When shopping for an open source SQL database, cool is not the first thing in your mind. You are looking for familiarity, compatibility, reliability, viability etc etc, lots of -ity words that are decidedly uncool but, ahem, realy important.

What made postgres "cool" for me was the realisation that you get more than what you bargain for:

> More than "just a database", it's a data platform

This feeling of being also relevant for the evolving world of data engineerimg comes from noSQL functionality like JSON support and also extensions that allow graph operations.

So postgres is cool because it is a reliable workhorse that wont let you down but its codebase and community have also the DNA of a racehorse that can win an occasional race for you.

What else can you ask of a horse? :-)
The thing with this project is that it had no conceivable way of threatening the original authors, financially or otherwise. The analyses it produced weren't replacements of the original works, and served as a writing tool, not as something that generated new content.

In this case, the shutdown seemed to hinge entirely on the irrational fear of anything with "AI" written on it and an unshakeable conviction that this clearly transformative use case wasn't fair use.
Obama certainly could have done a better job at stopping them (and done better at many other things as well), but those drone strikes started under Bush2, along with the rest of the mostly disastrous "war on terror". Given we experienced our first non-peaceful transition of power, it's absurd to pretend anything else in US history compares.
The RTO policy have a purpose: keeping up a dumb but profitable for some economy of services. Not really different than the old soviet adage, today dig a hole, tomorrow fill it so you have a job...

Offices means bars/restaurants/ready-made food delivery/cleaning services/rents and so on in cities. Means the base needed to head to a 2030 where "you'll own nothing" because anything is a service of someone else.

This is clear, what's not clear is the fact that such model is untenable. In an era of abundance we can keep money flowing with bullshit jobs, in an era of scarcity we can't.

Long-story short:

- most people will resist with any means because WFH means much to them

- most service economy will collapse anyway

- the disaster made in the meantime will push much more poor in cities, creating a bigger disaster thereafter.

Some I've no doubt think they can also profit from it...

> I would be surprised if Nintendo uses any of these aggressively -- do they have a reputation of doing so?

This post would have zero traction on here if they did otherwise. The tubes are full of excellent resources that die on new. They decided to market with the age bit and clearly it worked.
When speakers of a dying language learn a dominant one they don't lose their way of thinking, rather they adapt the dominant language to their needs. In this way the dominant language evolves. It's why there are ~180k english words but only 1200 Sindarian words.

While I agree that cultural loss is tragic, consider that it is inevitable. Homo Sapiens have existed for ~200,000 years. We only have SOME traces of SOME cultures for say 10k of those years. So from that lens, the vast majority of human culture has already been lost.
Oh, hey! I just got my first one of those for my extension a couple days ago. I just marked it as spam and moved on with my life.

Shameless self promotion - Open source chrome tab search way more powerful than the newish built in search (supports quotes, negative searches, things like host:example.com, etc).

That depends on how much you value your time you would otherwise spend dealing with a storefront. A lot of creators on Gumroad are relatively small-time, so to them it's probably totally worth it since they would have to spend a disproportionate amount of time dealing with things they are not very good at. I'm quite good with servers, but I'd also have a hard time justifying the time spent on maintaining and updating a webshop software that deals with all the things required. If I was selling 3D assets, I'd pick one of the many fab sites over hosting my own anytime.

Another point to make is the added visibility. ArtStation for example is quite prominent in the art / 3D world, whereas Steam is unavoidable as an indie dev. Itch.io takes a much lower cut, but it doesn't bring in even close to the amount of viewers as Steam does.
Nuking all extensions that use any of the listed "monetization platforms" would make Chrome extension store a safer place for everyone.
As an outsider, I wouldn't have considered SUSECon to be a "grassroots event." It seems like a corporate conference to me, and it's historically been hosted outside of Germany (including in places like the US).

Started using rails 10 years ago, myself. Postgres was by far the most common recommendation. In fact I learned a rule of thumb, early on, that I abide by still today: Always start with postgres and only migrate out once you understand your data well enough to consider the migration a clear win.
My guess is either mapping out internal networks for nefarious purposes or finding expired/dead domains that still receive traffic.
I can't go back. I have family to care for who need me at home and will suffer if I'm away. And that's even before I reclaim all the time during the day when there was no work I could be doing.

I'm more productive, I find new ways to make myself valuable in some of that free time whereas in the office I'd just be bored out of my skull instead because I had to keep my butt in a seat to make someone happy.

Fortunately my management is looking into downsizing leases and recouping savings instead of forcing people into the office. They've waffled a little about pulling people back in but they just aren't that serious about it in general.

The root problem is that extensions are such a good platform for ads/tracking.

If monetization was better, it would just end up like Google Play, with adtech spam crowding out the "legitimately" monetized apps.

Dracionian restrictions on web access (like requiring a prompt whenever an extension wants to upload/download data) might help a little.

It was excellent and recommended over MySQL before but I agree it became "cool" in the wake of the mongodb/nosql hype->trough of disillusionment transition.
The problem is there is really only one road connecting the two halves of the island. A small fire (or in the past flooding) in a small section can have an enormous impact of the island as a whole. We have short-term rentals in Maui and the west side and had guests stuck on the eastside sleep in the Walmart parking last. Our guests on the west side are without power for over 24 hours now I believe.
What part of this needs ai? This looks like it could be done with a database and a price list. I think this suggestion is already said, but the main push of "ai" is mostly in terms of natural language processing, so why not allow a prompt? Give a default prompt like "I'd like to build a gaming pc with a budget of $1000." You could even make it a fill in the blank like "I'd like to build a _______ pc with ___special features____ for a budget of $____." The thing about it's current iteration is regardless of there being "ai" in it, it's not clear what it's doing that's more special than me asking a pc building community for a parts list with a budget.
Sure, if you have a planing hull but that usually requires rigid structures that a life raft lacks. Very few inflatables can usefully use even 0.5hp or so because of the short waterline, displacement hull, and flopiness, yet the smallest gasoline outboards are 2hp- already heavy and oversized.

I find that 99% of my `as any` are due to some type definition limitation. The remaining 1% is due to something not expressable in typescript (or not worth it).
I recently had the misfortune of trying to find a job in a rough hiring market. I was appalled by what I saw. Very few companies move fast. Here’s what I saw on average for a software engineering role:

1. Excruciatingly long application processes, especially when companies required you to use workday for applying (30mins - 2 hours)

2. 2 weeks to hear back from the recruiter

3. 1-2 weeks to schedule a recruiter call

4. 1-2 weeks for a phone screen

5. 1 week to confirm results

6. 1-2 weeks for another round if not moving to on-site directly

7. 2-3 weeks for scheduling an onsite

8. 1-2 weeks for results (more immediate if it’s an obvious reject)

9. Additional 1-2 weeks for finalizing an offer and signing it.

The shortest end to end I could manage to get was around 2 and a half months, which is crazy.
Depends on the position. Took me about 2.5 months for current role between sending the first email and getting a formal offer. (I even got accidentally stood up when I was going to meet someone over breakfast :-)) But I was having conversations/interviews with senior people and it was just hard to get people in the office. (This was well pre-COVID so everything was in-person.)

I'm still wondering how there isn't a GoFundMe for Bowser yet. Is it something in the terms of service?
Okay, even better, to follow on another user's idea and up the ante:

Fake extensions created under burner dev accounts (w/ fake identities), astroturf the installs like crazy. Use ChatGPT to write the code, pump it out like chocolate out of Willy Wonka's Fudge Sludgefest.

Sell to scammers/info scalpers for a flat fee via a non-refundable route under a semi-reputable escrow, rinse and repeat.

The one downside is if you do that to somebody bad, and you've left any personal info out by accident....

Additionally, it's highly unethical. Don't do this. But it seems like 'easy money', the whole 'curse of maybe getting doxxed and XYZ from a sufficiently-motivated data thief' aside.
This is so true. I receive these emails every week. I've even had offers about acquisition that I had to turn down. Having a "Featured" chrome extension does seem to attract a lot of these offers. The more emails/offers I receive, the more I'm convinced that I shouldn't give up the extension.

For those curious, here's the GitHub repo of my extension: https://github.com/mohnish/rearrange-tabs
Sure.

But for mapping lots of POIs this is a PITA and doesnt scale. What if the owner declines? This is non-copyrightable info anyway.

I believe problem isn't the right word. I think OP is challenging your assumption that it's inherently freeware. There are methods for monetizing an extension and they're infrequently used or associated with a much larger experience (e.g. my BitWarden extension is critical for using BitWarden, but I pay for BitWarden's subscription elsewhere).

I would imagine he is on the phone 8-12 hours a day when not at the office, and still 4-6 hours a day at the office. Someone at his level, especially as a founder/owner is talking to somebody pretty much at all waking hours, and meals happen during calls unless it's an exceptionally important meeting.
Google could easily find a way to display ads for all extensions: pre-roll ads before extension launches, mid-roll ads when user is using extension for some period of time; not sure what is stopping them.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/money/

"The web has come a long way in the 11 years since we launched the Chrome Web Store. Back then, we wanted to provide a way for developers to monetize their Web Store items. But in the years since, the ecosystem has grown and developers now have many payment-handling options available to them."
I have similarly not had the problems others describe. I suspect that many people need a guide or lesson on how to be good tourist/guest. Too many act entitled as tourists.

I think the main problem is that ordinary people don't even see what problems self-hosting is supposed to address; and those that do, still need to dedicate significant time and effort to "tinkering", even when handed a huge chunk of the solution on a plate.

Another huge problem is that there's a home network between your product and the user's other devices; most home networks are utter crap, and often even tech-savvy people don't have a whole lot of control over it (I hate my ISP's modem with passion). This seriously limits your potential to provide an excellent UX; IMHO it's the UX that makes or breaks a product for "the rest of us".

I used to self-host a whole bunch of things on a VPS, including my blog, git repos, a DIY blogroll / RSS reader, etc. In the end I've decided it was not worth the effort; the blog was moved to Netlify, repos to Github, and the RSS kludge got swapped for NetNewsWire with iCloud sync. I was paying €5 for the VPS, yet now I'm paying Apple €20 to host my email, sync my photos, get access to the music catalogue, etc. I would definitely pay €20/mo for a box under my desk + an online service, provided it gives me similar value without much additional effort.

I think the problem that KubeSail/PiBox is aiming to solve might be both too broad (run any software you like!), and too narrow (if you're an enthusiast!) at the same time. I don't want to run Miniflux; I want to have my RSS feeds synced between devices. The software that pushes the bytes (and the hardware it runs on) should be invisible - unless I decide (out of my own free will / curiosity) to pop the cover open and start tinkering.

I don't think you can solve this by addressing shortcomings in a single piece of the stack. Both the layer below you (your average home network), and above you (the apps) have their own problems; some are like splinters (tiny but enough to ruin the experience), some are fundamental ("what is MySQL and why do I need to know"). I don't think it's a lost fight, but I would try to start with a vision for a more vertically integrated solution; maybe one step of that road is to eventually build your own WiFi AP/router (or even become an ISP), maybe to make a deal with Spotify (or even directly with EMI/WB/etc)... I don't think a task is too big if you can seriously challenge Apple/Amazon/Google at the end of the road.

I lived near Lahaina for a year. Where the fires are going on now. That part of the island is just a natural desert because it is on the leeward side of the prevailing winds. It's a natural tinder box.

The land directly adjacent to Lahaina is mostly dry grass at this time of the year. It has not been cleared. The actual farms are much greener than what is naturally there.

> But it was apparent that large swaths of native vegetation were cleared for colonization

Complete nonsense. Native Hawaiians were farming that land for centuries before white people showed up.

People will visit Maui then make up a bunch of stuff about it without doing any actual research.

Monkeypod isn't even native to Hawaii.
> Cannot stress enough how impactful those few minutes are (or more, if I need to decompress more than normal) are for separation of concern between home life and work, especially with young children in the picture.

been remote since 2015. absolutely agree with this, even though I'm still remote. the only way I'd go back to the office is if it's close to that experience -- a 5-10 min walk away.

living close to a coffee shops, gyms, and other amenities meant that I did a "morning commute" to get coffee most mornings -- more expensive than petrol, but still cheaper overall compared to driving. multiple choices, so could hit the local as well as chain shops.

a gym and grocery store being nearby also meant that I could so an "evening commute" and workout, snag groceries, run errands, etc.

having young kids makes it great too... most of the time. it's nice to be able to walk upstairs and play with the wee one.
