It seems weird to call Mormonism a Christian denomination because of the whole extra book where Jesus visits North America. That's a massive deviation. It's the same as saying Catholicism or Rastafarianism are denominations of Judaism. You're leaving out a lot!

Mind that I don't think Jesus talking to Native Americans, hying to Kolob, and sacral underwear are any more farfetched than anything in the King James, but I wouldn't call it the same thing except in the very loosest sense.

Opinions on VMware's Cloud Native Strategy
I'm wondering how credible VMware customers find the company's cloud native application strategy and multi-cloud management strategy based on the Tanzu portfolio. When you have 500.000 vSphere customers, is it even possible to go 'cloud native' without eroding this massive base? Will they still be able to attract the right talent under the roof of Broadcom? Is CloudFoundry the right foundation for Kubernetes stacks? And most importantly, is there enough value in an abstraction layer above AWS, Azure and Google Cloud?

None of these questions are meant to be rhetorical or even cynical but I'm genuinely interested in what everybody thinks and why.

The most efficent conversion from fossil to green happen in France and it had nothing to do with envoirmentalism. In fact envorionmentalism for most of the 20th century did more to prevent replacment of fossil fuel then it did to reduce it.
My point was that defaults matter, and your default is not privacy preserving. Yet you claim to be a "privacy first" service. There are many email clients which do not download remote content by default. I would argue that they preserve privacy better than Skiff does.
Strongly agree. A great example of this hyperengineering is React Router. What should be boring utility code wants to be the opinionated lead singer of your app and introduce breaking changes every few years while the rest of the web has been treating routing like a solved problem for decades.

> Google (specifically their CEO) was saying since at least 2016 that "Google is an AI first company". (Whatever the hell that means).

What it means is it's why so many things about Google experience suck so badly. Whether it's what he meant or not, the practical flip side of Google being "AI first company" is that they're "humans last" company. Or, it's a different way of saying they only do things that scale. Telemetry and automated decision making scale. Human review and customer support do not.
Thanks, Sean! To me WebRTC is one of these technologies which seem super hard and complicated at first, but once you get it you can't believe you were ever able to live (or in this case work) without it. My favorite example for this is the web-terminal: every robotics company I know has some sort of VPN/tailscale/wireguard or ssh-tunnel setup to reach their deployed robots, and it's a pain to maintain. But with webrtc you don't need to worry about any of that, it just works!

> I'll give canned tomatoes & beans a pass

I favour San Marzano tomatoes for cooking. If they're not in a tin, and whole, they're not allowed to be sold as "DOP".

You can get San Marzano seeds and grow your own; no doubt they're very good. You can buy fresh San Marzano at a greengrocer; they're probably fine too. But San Marzano DOP are picked and tinned only in the foothills of Vesuvius.

You also can't get tinned chopped San Marzano DOP; they have to be whole. To be fair, chopping up a tin of San Marzano results in a soupy pulp, which is fine if you're making a sauce or soup, which is what they're best for. Tinned chopped tomatoes tend to be chopped whole - you get the cores as well as the pulp. I take out the cores when I chop them. I've always been picky with tomatoes.

I've never heard of tinned lettuce.

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion here, but I hate this website's UX. Replying to a comment loads a new page, losing the entire context of the thread. There is no UI to indicate if there's a reply to an earlier comment made. The typograph is ugly as sin, and hard to read (too small on desktop, looks bad on mobile, poor contrast). With new pages needed for basic reply/editing capabilities, the site doesn't even accurately track the navigation stack. Sure it loads quickly, but we can load a hello world in a p tag pretty quickly too. HN as a site is a perfect example of how bad a SSR experience can be.
Yeah, this was my first attempt: https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e648819c8c0400088...

Not quite right. I am, however, impressed that the fingers are generally "mostly" correct.
What I wrote up is the spec-defined desugaring of a single-branch `if let`, aside from desugaring bugs there should be no counter-example.

The snippet you link to should be replaceable by something along the lines of

artist_name: Some(artist_name),
..
} => {
metadata
.entry(ARTIST_METADATA.to_string())
.or_default()
.push(artist_name.clone());
}
_ => {}
}

no `unwrap` needed. I don't know where you got that idea.

I think the fundamental mistake of nginx's configuration syntax was always making it look much more flexible and general than it actually is. Particularly with statements like `if` almost giving it the flavour of a general purpose programming language.

If you actually do try and make use of the apparent flexibility of the syntax, you very quickly start to run into situations where you inexplicably just "can't do that", with the failure mode frequently just being nginx quietly not doing the right thing.
Not at all! Although some of them will be people like me having it on the side monitor day dreaming while they write CRUD :)
> Or maybe someone would start a store for games that only allows up-front sales, no subscriptions, and no ads. [...] [Those] stores would filter out a huge amount of junk that’s currently on the Apple app store.

While I'd love to live in a universe where this could actually happen, in reality this is a pipe dream.

The reason the app store is full of freemium apps stuffed with ads and microtransactions is because that's overwhelmingly the thing that consumers choose, and what makes the most money. Even desktop, a market that has historically used the up-front model is starting to switch to the "freemium or SaaS" model.

Any app store that tried to have such principles would find that they get almost no devs willing to add their apps, and those that did would get barely any sales compared to their less scrupulous peers (rendering the store unable to stay solvent at worst, or having almost no effect on the wider market at best)

Essentially, cosine similarity just measures the extent to which the vectors point in the same direction in N dimensional space. That turns out to be quite discriminative when N is very high (i.e., over 1000). But it is not as good for finding complex non-linear relationships.
You're absolutely correct, which is why we had Rails, Django, Laravel,etc.

Why do we need node.js-based SSR and hydration etc these days? It seems it's just remaking an already solved problem with fancier terms, bottom line is that it's way more complex, what's the point?
I think you have it backwards since prices really haven’t moved enough to counter the rate hikes. Monthly payments are still up 50-75% depending on the home and area compared to Q1 2022 while prices are mostly flat. This means that homes are currently priced at 3-5% rates but currently feature 7% rates.

Today’s buyers implicitly expect to be able to refinance sometime soon - without that expectation prices would be far lower.

If rates at 7% is our new normal then people buying homes today are far overpaying and they will be disappointed in a year’s time.
It is likely that most of the passengers were associates of Prigozhin. Killing Wagner top brass would be an advantage for Putin. Putin doesn't care about the optics beyond showing his power.

I think these eastern concepts (e.g. meditation concepts such as chakras, "organs" in traditional chinese medicine) are not meant as objective truths, but rather as useful mental models. Different mental models used in the same culture often contradict one another, which only makes sense if you don't see them as ultimate truth.

Same here. I think what I realized is that coding is not a thing. Rather, it is a tool which enables you to do other things.

About 13 years in, I pivoted in two interesting ways.

1. I started looking far more at the backend, infrastructure, and how to design efficient end-to-end systems (from UX, through the stack, to the infrastructure).

2. I realized that I have a passion for building products that take complex things, and simplify them for the masses.

So, I was doing more "building", but I was also creating new "products". And that flipped a switch inside me.

Turns out all components of capitalism are rather bureaucratic and locked in place by compliance, lack of organisational flexibility, as well as nonexistent information flow (because pecking order would be unstable with informational transparency). The result being any large company can not adopt new tech into core function
This is exclusively American "poor" people. Everyone I've known who struggles to pay bills could NEVER afford an iPhone, and wouldn't be able to get it on a payment plan either, because verizon stopped offering them contracts a decade ago, or they are stuck buying a $100 "smart talk" smartphone that is a stupidly old and underpowered machine that they then suffer through until it inevitably falls apart under normal use and they tape it back together so they don't have to buy another one for a little longer.

"Poor" people don't ever have the $800 needed to buy an iPhone at one time, like ever.

This makes a lot more sense when you look at less rich countries and see how much less popular iPhones are. It's only in America where people who aren't in poverty but rather deep into the lower class that will make sacrifices so they can buy an iPhone, or worse, pay $1600 over a two year payment plan and then UPGRADE after the plan is through. Americans are so terrified of being SEEN as poor, because they know how they vote for poor people to be treated.
dir is a global attribute that can be set on any HTML element:

Note that the restriction only applies to _cash_ money. If I have €100,000 in my bank account and do a transfer to another bank account, it happens for free and (almost, depending on the circumstances) instantly. If I go to the bank and ask for that €100,000 in cash, I won't get it. I personally consider this an okay restriction of my freedom if it means drug cartels and large-scale criminals can be caught.
They're afraid of competition in general, because competition benefits customers.

You could find stricter or more specialized stores where you can trust everything in them more than you can from a general purpose store.

You could find stores that allow apps you may want that Apple prohibits even though they're not malicious, like BitTorrent or third party browser engines or adult content.

The competition would reduce their margins; 30% is absurd and only exists because it's a monopoly rent.

Everything about it benefits you, which is why there are supposed to be laws constraining them from removing your ability to choose.
iceberg lettuce is, as you say, a sandwich lettuce, not a salad lettuce. It has a very clear crispy texture (as you say). Radicchio is only crispy in the center part.

It was a revelation when I moved to california and had my first real salad. it was intensely bitter with nutty and other flavors. Later I found out that arugala, endive, radicchio, are all great when properly dressed with a good salad oil, but they definitely have wayyyyy more flavor.

I'd be surprised if anybody could even really say what iceberg lettuce "tastes" like- to me it just tasts like crunchy water.

A lot of systems software, especially in C++ but perhaps less so in C, makes heavy use of indices too, for reasons unrelated to the borrow checker obviously.

I think I'm a relatively slow adopter of AI, but this feels a bit premature to call it a fad at this point. Everyone is still in a bit of a "wait and see" period, but we already see some of the disputes over rights to use AI recreations of actors indicate there is demand for companies who would want to use it if the legal situation was more defined and favourable.

I think at this point it's hard to tell if ChatGPT is like the early demos of self-driving cars (neat, but just never able to get the trust levels for mass adoption), or like the LG Prada, a sign of what to come, just needing someone to wrap it in iPhone levels of execution to succeed. Or maybe it's even the Newton to the iPhone.
Cool, but I question the association with nutrition labels. Those have a specific, regulated purpose and this AI checklist doesn't. Is the nutrition label association supposed to subtly associate to some authenticity?
> I would be more than happy if my tax money could bring joy to these people who normally couldn’t afford these things.

But then think of the people who also can't afford these things, but are paying into the system rather than taking from it. They'd rightly feel shafted by people buying luxury items on their dime.

The perspective of a well-off person who can easily afford to pay into the system and afford most of their chosen luxuries is probably not the right one to take in this case.

The point of food stamps is not to give people a taste of luxury, it's to keep them alive and healthy by giving them access to food so they don't go hungry.
