> (I also disagree that Web Components are a competitor to React. Frameworks like Preact and Svelte are interoperable with Web Components and build on top of the API. React chooses not to but that’s neither here nor there)

Used to work on Web Components (the browser side.)

Although we didn't take it as a competitor, in hindsight it was - at least in a sense. Both are component-based technologies, and the expressiveness of React and ES6+ made WC less relevant. I think WC is still nice to have, but it is no longer a must-have as it was originally envisioned.

The JS ecosystem has largely solved the problem by themselves without browser vendor's help (besides improvements of JS itself.)
So, everything on the "public health guidelines" list is actually wrong, except the first item if someone is very old and very sick. The mRNA shots never promoted immunity to illness, and it's factually inaccurate to claim that they did or do. We still don't know the long-term safety effects of these shots.

The Cochrane study of studies on masks invalidated the guidance that cloth/fabric masks can do anything to stop an aerosolized virus.

I would absolutely care more what they had to say over the rando, especially if they prefaced it with their level experience.
I think that would depend on whether you view your work as producing "argument proof results" or just "results." In other words, producing high volume low-quality "trash" may easily undermine self confidence more than producing low-volume high-quality "diamonds."

In either case, the way you frame it matters much more than the process. But I can agree that expecting either "high quality high volume" or aiming for "low quality low volume" are both likely paths to a depressive episode.

Personally, I'd rather small flawed diamonds. The fact that they are diamonds nonetheless gives me pride. The fact that I can produce greater quantities of them than flawless gems keeps me employed (which also gives me self-confidence).

Ultimately very subjective, regardless
Yes! I have a 5 pages doc of prep notes I made, happy to share :)
That's the whole point. Those "restful API backend services" are not really REST-ful. The essay, "How Did Rest Come To Mean The Opposite of REST"[0], explains this better than I ever could in a HN post. Maybe we should stop growing these Data-APIs (returning JSON) and switch back to Hypermedia-APIs (returning HTML).

Yeah, as it's grown in popularity I've noticed this too. I often times stop myself and think, it's probably better spending the extra 10% or so to get a manufacturer warranty.

Thanks for the morning chuckle. As a 2x parent I remember the poop blowouts (fondly?)....
I don't have hard sources on Harmonix keysounding and may have misremembered things[0], or this might just be community misinformation. The article you are linking to concerns Guitar Hero III, which was made by Neversoft after Activision bought RedOctane without Harmonix. At that point they had enough money to pay for patent licenses. The amount of money being spent on guitar games in the US was utterly insane at this point (and part of the reason why they died off so quickly).

A few years prior they did NOT have that kind of money. The history of Guitar Hero is that RedOctane was involved in manufacturing third-party softpads for people importing DDR home games from Japan. They saw GuitarFreaks in a Japanese arcade and contracted Harmonix to build a game around a guitar controller. The game they made, Guitar Hero, was startlingly low budget, with loads of covers[1]. Nobody had any money to license patents.

In terms of the cost of actually keysounding a track, relative to Harmonix's patent workaround... I'm not entirely sure. It could go either way. I could imagine some automated/cheap way to do 'good enough' keysounding could have been made, especially since they're already charting out note data.

[0] For example, I said Harmonix was involved in the ITG lawsuit but it was actually RedOctane who published ITG. I'd edit my comment but I can't find the edit link.

[1] Which arguably worked in the game's favor - I do remember people noting that the all-masters-all-the-time approach of Guitar Hero World Tour made playing vocals feel strange.

Well, in C you have function calls, so you can still do reification on that, turn it in to a value (ie a record that holds the parameters and the pointer of the function) and fiddle with it. Some examples:

- you can send it to another machine turning it into RPC, and you can encrypt (some of) the parameters because of this
- you can add save the program state before you execute it for checkpointing purposes
- you can log the parameters for tracing

Cheap doesn't mean free. We can already reduce resistance by piling in more cheap metal, but it becomes more effort than it's worth.

And superconductors have limits on how much power they can carry.

But most importantly, the power grid doesn't lose all that much to resistance. And you'd still lose power to transmission line capacitance against the ground.

I can kind of understand. Apple at that time period wasn't very "think different" yet. Gil Amelio still had the company in its own "beige box" era. The idea that a store would be selling a "less compatible" computer seemed insane. Turned out to be a game changer.
Canada will be a major beneficiary of climate change as the continent’s northern reaches warm. If they combine that with smart policy-making like this (i.e. increasing population while attracting industry), I think Canada could be a world superpower in 100 years.

Note: I’m not a highly informed person in this regard, but I think this is interesting to consider as a possibility

You are proving my point to the dot: beyond "conservative family-oriented religious" really lies "proposing to make homosexual marriage illegal".

And also my second point: "Homophobia is not happening", it's just being conservative. But also, "homophobia is happening! and it's a good thing!"

I don't know about heteronormative/homophobic. But wanting to make gay marriage illegal sure sounds very much like hating those people specifically. It hurts noone if they marry, but they hurt a lot if they can't. I think "homophobic" is the correct nomenclature in this case, and "heteronormative" is more about your personal or your group's preference and manifestation.
Been there - but it still sucks !!! as a commentary of our society - and our inability to make lasting things for long-term FEAR OF LOSING PROFIT.

Every first-world item made should have a 2nd/3rd world plan for it.

When your comfy butt is done with thing - you should be able/required to hand-down iten to next party, and you should be happy paying the premieum to use the item freshly new, as well as be happy that you cared for it such that the next person still gets an appreciated object.

THE LAST THING we need is for a primary buyer of [THING] to think the *next step* to their use is trash/landfill.

In that light pretty rarely. Which I suppose is a point in favor of Spring. When spring's dependencies break you usually can't even run the server.
Say that then. "I don't know what is causing this. I've ruled out everything I can, you may have CFS or psychosomatic symptoms, but I can't test for either. Here are some resources on both. Psychiatry has helped x% of patients with your symptoms, I can't guarantee it will help but here's a referral."

Much better to say "I don't know" than to give a confident diagnosis just because you've run out of things to test for.
I'm pretty sure that even 2000 years later I can detect some "embellishment" of the story; even back then I think exceptionally pregnant and almost in labor women would just skip the theater.

The Martian canals are interesting misinformation phenomena. A phenomenon that we’ve seen repeated among the woo crowd.

Schiaprelli points his telescope at Mars, and sees some faint squiggles. He suspects they’re something dried river beds, and calls them “channels”, like a river channel. Being Italian, he uses the Italian word, “canali”.

This word, being the same word used for “canal” in English, gets translated as “canal”. However in English, “canal” refers exclusively to an artificial construction, where as “channel” doesn’t have that distinction.

This framing now primes, people when looking at blurry faint marks on Mars. Someone tries to map the “canals” and either through an act of simplification/illustration, or psychological priming, connects dark regions (river deltas?) to each other via straight lines — perhaps the shape most evocative of artificiality.

And so it snowballs.

I don’t think the canal theory ever gained much traction. (It’s a wild idea!) Telescopes just weren’t good enough to consistently observe the channels, let alone see them well enough for a definitive answer. We had to wait for Mariner 4 for that.

Gosh, I wish press releases like this weren't blatantly playing politics.

When we keep politics out of press releases like this, it helps bring people onboard who otherwise may get stuck because the person in an elected office isn't the person they voted for.

For whatever reason (it's probably a mix of NAT, the extra routing needed for CGNAT, and other things) there is a measurable difference in time to first byte on v6. Apple measured it as 40%: https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-tells-app-devs-to-use-ip...

(Also, doing things like loading a webpage requires many round trips, so even a small RTT difference multiplies to a bigger delay for total load time.)

You don't need to remove v4 to get benefits from v6. For example, you can handle inbound v4 on your load balancers to avoid needing to mess around with it on your entire VM fleet.
Well, there is some of it in most hardware :D
You had to go back 80 years to find an example of a lack of privacy hurting enough people to make your point, and that's my point.

We don't have things like WW2 happen anymore, and living our life like the next Holocaust is just around the corner is paranoid and overly cynical.

We really did seem to learn that lesson. Your own example of trans rights is a great one; laws protecting trans people are enshrined in many US states already, and courts are annihilating many of the attempts made to the contrary.

We stumble, but we move forward, and without the loss of millions of people this time. Progress.

Can I sign up? They told me that I'm useless after 35.
I may be wrong but if there is a percentage as high as 30-40% of items that are returned and that cannot be resold to other customers and are either liquidated or destroyed, the (greedy) corporation has already raised all prices 50% higher than what would be possible if there wasn't such waste.

At the end of the day customers are the ones that pay for that, if they are happy, it's fine of course.

> saw physicists excited by the potential,

Mostly I saw actual physicists who had experience in the field being very skeptical, throwing a lot of cold water on the fire, and pointing out that the original authors looked like amateurs.

And then I saw a lot of people with zero experience in the field running around yelling about how they were out of touch, how this was a revolutionary new way that science would progress on twitter, out in the open, etc. People who were skeptical got called all kinds of names.

It didn't help that a lot of people on twitter pivoted from crypto-hype to AI-hype to LK99-hype pretty much on a dime.

There was also a lot of highly upvoted comments with the usual thoughtleadering style of "let me beak it down for your, here's the ELI5 of what is going on an what the implications will be..." followed by whatever they learned in the past 48 hours from plowing through wikipedia articles.

There could be a lesson here about listening very carefully to experts in the field when they give you their opinions. They often sound very highly biased, but there's usually very good reason for that. Once in a lifetime there's the event where some paradigm is overthrown and all the old scientists look a bit foolish because their instincts were to be skeptical -- but those instincts came through a lifetime of correctly being skeptical 999 times out of 1000 about wild claims in their field.

This could be a teachable moment that could inform people about climate change, coronavirus and other scientific claims. If you want to disagree with experts in the field you really need to get off your ass, get off twitter and the blogs, and go do the hard work of understanding what the scientists actually know by reading the articles that they publish. They're very often correct and their opinions hold more weight because they've literally spent their lifetime learning and thinking about this one thing. They didn't start learning about superconductivity / viruses / climate last week and you need to do better than some showerthought or wishful thinking that you think proves your viewpoint.

But we're not going to do that because its only been a few days and we've literally forgotten about how much flak scientists were getting on here over skepticism towards the initial claims.

And I had some of the most positively stupid arguments on here where people were trying to assert that scientific experts needed to express exactly zero bias because they were experts and held to a higher standard than the average moron with no experience who could argue whatever they liked. Engineering a rationale to be able to reject anyone with a strong opinion based on expertise in favor of strong opinions from randos on twitter.

To me, this is the line of reasoning that happens when you start with a bad idea and build reasonable steps on top of it. Ordering several items with the intention of returning all but one is a rational response to a problem caused by an idea that's flawed from the beginning.

Online shopping for clothes is a bad idea because, as a rule, you can't try stuff before buying. The solution would be to have physical stores - it would be good for your neighborhood, reduces waste, can be quick, etc.

However, it turns out that customers would rather not leave the comfort of their computers to go to the nearest shopping mall, so instead we'll send the stuff to them with free returns to make up for the fact that this is not an efficient method of buying clothes. We generate a ridiculous amount of garbage out of perfectly good items, we burn a whole lot of fossil fuels sending them back and forth, we destroy the neighborhood economy, and we lose a lot of money and time in the process. All of that to make a bad idea seem good.
