I'm going to say something slightly vulgar, because as someone who did their own ebike conversion and is moderately interested in this space: fuck 'em. E-bikes, and by extension bikes in general, are amazing forms of transportation specifically because they're so incredibly repairable using simple-to-acquire tools and skills. Any impingement on the right to repair in the bike space is a pure cash grab from suits that don't understand the space. Bike people have _never_ liked proprietary or unrepairable parts, and this seems like just another case of silicon valley "entrepreneurs" hopping into a space they know nothing about, thinking they can "innovate" their way into dominance with this kind of nonsense.

Fuck. You. You don't deserve to be operating in this space if you don't understand the consumer you're targeting.
Message editors on BBSes were quite similar to ed. Even more limited since you didn't have the substitution command.

That is one inspiration of course. My town is too small for something like that but if it can work for something as specific as diapers I think it would work for all kinds of other stuff.
It must be obvious to everyone else then but not me, would be good to get an explanation. My first reaction, and still reaction, to JSX is loathing at the mixing of JS + HTML. JSX's site says that this is a way of recognizing they are tied together and the focus is on separating concerns instead of technologies. Yet Angular manages to do a similar thing through its components, and still achieve separation of HTML/JS.
This is really cool and useful! I don't know a huge amount of CSS beyond the basics of tweaking sites via ublock origin or devtools, but this explained things clearly. Kudos!
Frankly, I've worked with a couple React projects that are exactly like you describe, too.

The ability to tag was added relatively recently, and has been a lifesaver. I can just hammer the email button and send legal counsel my raw notes instead of re-typing handwritten notes. It has saved me literally hundreds of hours in the last few years.

Hey thanks for sharing your experience with their customer service. This alone is dissuading me from purchasing the tablet.

I wonder if there's a chance of compensating for this terrible service by getting good contents insurance with the product?
In a large app you often can’t easily find all of the html. It’s less work by far to ensure you can find all of the CSS though.

And when the company decides to rebrand and change the color scheme for the whole app, which they will at least half the time, you’ll be glad not to be playing whack-a-mole. Problems that aren’t done when you think they’re done create a lot of friction with the rest of the org. Open ended problems cause engineering to look incompetent. The cost of that problem is immeasurable, and doubly so in a bad economy.
Yeah rpg sourcebooks (mine are also WW) are not a good fit for the remarkable.

In general, only short PDFs are bearable, epubs feel like they should work but they take an incredibly long time to render, which frustrates me every time.

That being said, it's absolutely incredible for writing, but I don't need that as much as I used to (take less notes now as I'm more of an IC than my former team lead/PM/IC hybrid).
> by the time you retire you will be dementia ridden.

This makes no sense as staying cognitively active has been shown to delay dementia: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-physical-or-cognitiv...

Key excerpt:

> These studies are important because they show that, despite an equivalent amount of Alzheimer's pathology (measured at autopsy in the first study and by blood in the second), individuals who were more cognitively and physically active were able to delay their clinical Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and cognitive decline. This means that even if you are likely by family history — or bad luck — to develop Alzheimer's disease at some point in your life, you can delay the onset of the disease by staying cognitively and physically active, and you can start at any age.

As for physical activity, that's a lifestyle choice and has nothing to do with working in tech. At least for me, working in tech is keeping me cognitively active. It's hard for me to even imagine a scenario where that wouldn't be true in tech.
It seems like one of those things like VR and crypto, technical solution looking for a problem to solve. After 2 years we have still not found a single good use for it and yet it is supposed to be disruptive. If you think we have, provide me with an example of one app which really has used it so well that it is now comfortably ahead of the competition.

Feel sorry for him. I like listening to his speeches. He made a lot of points other presenters could not make. I remember a his word in a presentation, "if a solution brings it's own IDE, something must be terribly wrong.".
Thank you for the detailed response. Yes, this thread is about Red Hat, so the reference seems appropriate :)

I don't envy what the Red Hat marketing people have to go through, although I do think it's slightly self-inflicted at times. They generally invest huge amounts in, as you put it, altruistic improvements to Linux, yet get criticised harshly by the community for falling back to a position that is still multiple times better for free and open source software than, say, Microsoft's or Amazon's position. It makes me feel strange to promote marketing at the expense of development, but I genuinely think that their PR is profoundly lacking: things like CentOS stream were pretty good generally for the FOSS ecosystem but came across more as a betrayal of FOSS than a bequest to FOSS.
A great book on this topic is Sweating Bullets by Robert Gaskins, the inventor of PowerPoint. It's amazing how little the core of that program has changed since it was first introduced.
Or just settled for the generational wealth he'd get from his parents. You really had to try hard in this guy's position to not live a life of complete material ease, and he pulled it off!
You’ve hit it on the head. A well written react app will have a lot of code that isn’t in hooks or components and is instead imported by those. That said anything to do with the presentation of the app should be within react, with important exceptions.
There is zero chance of Hashicorp donating Terraform to an open source foundation. If there was they would have never even considered this change in license. Honestly it's not a bad thing, maybe the maintainers of the Terraform fork will actually listen to feedback from the community of people who use it instead of ignoring them.

I think its always been built in, but pertains to `computed` values only. Its still possible to create cycles but you need to combine `autorun`, timers/nextTick/similar and actions to do it - definitely not something thats needed in most code.

1993.

In those days, the major groups like Fairlight operated by postal ( / snail) mail network, too.

At some point, a mutual-game-swapping acquaintance judged (the then-teenaged) me trustworthy enough to bring in, and gave me a reference/sign up form. From then on I got a few printed out pages in the mail once per month, listing the new available wares of the month, and an order form.

You would send back the order form to a PO Box address, along with actual cash payment in the envelope, and a week later, a parcel with a stack of floppy disks would arrive.
Once upon a time, I remember one of the plans for React was the ability to compile components into web components. Your code wouldn't have to change at all, but it would mean CSS couldn't leak in/out of the component boundaries like it does now. I think it would've also made it easier to use a React component in other frameworks, since all they'd see is the common web component interface instead of the React interface?
When you say "a long time" what does that mean? I've learnt loads of stuff over the last 25 years or so that I don't use, doesn't mean that learning them wasn't a useful part of my development.
I was actually surprised Oracle didn't outright kill MySQL, OpenOffice, and a bunch of other FOSS projects they/we inherited. They/we even pivoted internally to using Jabber for IMs (with Pidgin!!), because one of those projects was some sort of integrated calendaring/Jabber suite and it was mandated as standard. I could even use Thunderbird rather than Outlook, and any Linux I wanted.

Obviously all the major projects were eventually mismanaged.
I agree with your post, however I would bring a different point of interest to it. Comparing ChatGPT to other tools is all fine, but taking a step back and thinking about next ChatGPT tool that will be created is probably bit more concerning. And I dont mean ChatGPT version X but next iteration of AI tools.

In the last decade we have seen an unprecedented explosion of computer intelligence, task once deemed too human or fuzzy are being done (and often outperforming humans) left and right. From AI vision to creative endorsers.

What I am afraid is the next 'excel' and who will control it - cuz the next iteration might be smart enough to let the creators tangibly impact the world.
They even make the replica jerseys for the NHL, which has absolutely cratered the quality... and will be making the authentic jerseys too starting next year.

I'm sick of the trend of manufacturing companies being replaced by e-commerce companies who see manufacturing as an obstacle to distribution rather than a goal in itself. The quality is always worse because they don't care about the quality, only the logistics.

Agree. I did CSS before flexbox was available, and I have no ideas how I did before. There is tons of very good stuff coming our way in CSS (such as container queries), better ergonomics for Javascript, excellent tooling in the browser, stuff to be optimistic for, not just all this madness about the framework du jour.
I intentionally gave up the chase to marry “real” feeling writing/reading with modern tech to avoid the inevitable uncanny valley these tools tend to get stuck in, and it seems like I was right to do so.

I fear, immensely, the idea that I might get stuck in how I operate to such a degree that I’m no longer open to new experiences, and to me that’s who remarkable2 is for; people stuck in the “paper is best” mindset but who realize technology is important to try to keep up with.

Getting comfortable with a tablet for these tasks is the real solution. Remarkable2 is a crutch.
My brother in law is an electrician.

He does not have paid vacation, good sick leave policies, or good health insurance through his employer. He has witnessed a bunch of on-the-job injuries and one near-fatality, largely caused by his employer pushing hard for the team to complete jobs as fast as possible. He is paid alright, but less than the norm for the people I know with college degrees even after we exclude everybody in software. His job is also physically demanding and may cause problems later in life.

Not exactly a "hey, pick this job and you'll have a great career" story.

Every five years or so prior to CSS 3, there was a push to purge styling and animation decisions from JS. We are meant to be past that now.

Calling it a feature that you have CSS in your JS is tantamount to saying you’re writing legacy code. Which happens, but don’t be cheerful about it.
> Your second thing sounds suspiciously like just an extremely clunky AGI. Both would, I think, require significant technical breakthroughs which are not currently in evidence and may never happen.

Clunky, yes.

Sufficiently clunky that I think it's already achievable by throwing money at workplace surveillance and passing the observations to a sufficiently expensive computer doing exactly the same things as current AI.
"For distorted text fields, humans took 9-15 seconds with an accuracy of just 50-84 percent. Bots, on the other hand, beat the tests in less than a second with 99.8 percent accuracy."

I'm guessing part of the answer is (and most likely already implemented in things like reCAPTCHA) is rate limiting and detecting bots when they solve these too quickly.

Also other things among HN readers I have noticed recently is that they say Google search has gone incredibly bad so they use chatGPT more. But they fail to understand that one of key reasons that Google search has gone bad is due to every tom and his mom pushing out garbage seo spam with the help of chatGPT in last 2 years.

It's worse than that. EVs attract nails like nobody's business. It's a combination of the weight, torque, and rolling resistance optimizations, I think. This holds true for most EVs. I lost a tire completely at less than 250 miles. I've had ten flats in EVs in ten years of driving them, most non-repairable.

I find this hard to believe, even in 1945 in Great Britain:

"Hardly anyone will print an attack on Stalin, but it is quite safe to attack Churchill"

Bertrand Russel wrote "The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism" in 1920, but maybe nobody read it.

Do you mind sharing what reasons makes it the worst in your opinion? What alternatives do you prefer?
That's very interesting. I don't think we have those here in Britain; we have pre-university colleges, but these are generally only available to those of the correct age to follow on from school. Full degrees are associated with a pretty good state-funded loan (which is written off automatically if not paid before retirement), but there are no longer grants for most people. In my parents' time, things were different - my father graduated from university getting more money for attending than he paid for the degree!
the bottom section talks about "web component frameworks", i.e., frameworks that use javascript's native web components rather than creating their own special component format.

the article says:

> In my opinion, most projects still benefit from using a frontend framework over pure web components—or, at the very least, both together. Maybe that will change in the future, but for now, I think the tradeoffs still tilt away from a pure web component approach in most cases.

but doesn't provide any real argument to justify that opinion.

why would anyone want to subject themselves to framework lock-in when you can have components that are portable across frameworks? what are the arguments against?

genuine question -- i've used Vue and i've used Lit, and didn't see obvious limitations in the latter, but i've also never used either for any large project.
"If Stellantis is able to net the full C$15 billion from the federal and provincial governments over the next 10 to 15 years, which is based on meeting production targets, this would amount to C$6 million per worker, given that the Windsor plant is projected to employ 2,500 workers. Such a sum would more than cover its entire labor cost at the facility for three decades, meaning that the governments of Canada and Ontario are providing Stellantis with a free workforce into the second half of this century."

Make it make sense!
Interesting. The authors of the captcha solving bot papers claim 100% accuracy for reCaptcha and 98% accuracy for hCaptcha.

That google does this is not really a surprise, since they earn money by letting bots through (bots are then counted as humans and google can bill for ads shown to the bot), but hCaptcha at least advertises the fact that their interest is actually detecting bots.
I've seen them around but didn't realize People for Bikes was an industry group. It makes sense. Normally they're advocating for more bikeability, so their incentives are aligned with their customers', but here they're not. I'm glad we have folks like iFixit pushing against things like this.

The argument about danger always falls short. Not having repair manuals and software available affects skilled repair technicians too, and if you provide them then skilled technicians can perform repairs just as well as the manufacturer can. Manufacturers don't have a monopoly on technical skill.
> working in tech is listening to coddled techbros whose first job was an $80k/yr internship

I started well before internships and other worker type of practices creeped into the tech world. Modern tech work is the old day factory work.
They are, however, deeply flawed. The labor theory of value is the core Marxist economic principle, and it is incorrect. Marx also doesn’t deal with the knowledge problem, and he doesn’t adequately address the value of laborless resource. If we move on from there, his summation of the trend of history is also incorrect. Societies have not tended toward Communism but instead toward Fascism (corporate and governmental merger coupled with totalitarianism) at the level of countries, and toward a neo-feudal order globally.
Admittedly if they advertised "FREE GNORF" I'd at least be intrigued

I’d say the biggest difference was:

1) A product owner that articulated clear and granular user stories with acceptance criteria, and kept them prioritized. Sprint planning was quick and easy as a result, and developers had freedom to design and implement the story within those constraints.

2) A good engineering manager (scrum master) that insulated the team from pressure from product owner, and ensured product backlog was well articulated and sprint backlog was reasonable and practical.

Both of these things are clearly described by The Scrum Guide and how scrum should work.

This can be boiled down to trust: Is the company a high-trust environment where people are respected, or a low-trust environment where people are treated as machines. Sadly in my experience, most of this industry is the latter.
Get out and go where exactly?
That's a great analogy and actually gets to my main beef with the whole "I can ship faster with react" argument.

When using a sharp knife it's even more important to stick to the principle that slow is steady and steady is fast. It's the same thing with react, and really any of these frontend frameworks that keep piling on complexity. Sure you can ship features fast and if it's throwaway code the great, but if you ever want to reuse or grow it that quick code is a nightmare of tech debt.
Well put. On the other hand, I pray that the industry doesn’t ossify right now around Facebook’s dominant framework. Sweet Jesus, anyone but Facebook.
Honestly sad for desktop bluetooth, but good riddance for all the multimedia stuff (Rhytmbox, Totem and Sound Juicer). The fact that somebody in Red Hat paid the guy to maintain them, when the GNOME is still missing/delaying fundamental features, looks like either pure charity or bad management. Or maybe both.
Judgment Entered in Publishers, Internet Archive Copyright Case
From the article: the proposed agreement includes a permanent injunction that would, among its provisions, bar the IA’s lending of unauthorized scans of the plaintiffs' in-copyright, commercially available books, as well as bar the IA from “profiting from” or “inducing” any other party’s “infringing reproduction, public distribution, public display and/or public performance” of the the plaintiffs' books "in any digital or electronic form” once notified by the copyright holder.
