The thing about front end web specifically is that by default, devs aren’t equipped with tools that will guide them down “happy paths” for most things. The effects of this aren’t too visible for small projects and even large projects early on, but as in your example with table rows, that will change as soon as these projects meet even slightly demanding real world usage.

To be good at front end web, one needs to care deeply and sink a ton of time and energy into framework and component choice and understanding what’s going on under the hood. Gluing together whatever is shiny or trendy at the moment without deeper consideration is a surefire way to end up with something that technically works but is thoroughly mediocre.

Of course deeper understanding of the technologies being used is helpful in other types of front end as well, but it’s not quite as important there because they have well established conventions and best practices that cut past trouble of this sort. Point in case, in an iOS or Android app, the system stock table views with many rows won’t perform badly because as long as you’re using the APIs as designed, they recycle their cells right out of the box — no need to hunt down a special package or anything.
Ask HN: How do you guys stay motivated when you see competition?
I see competitors building similar products on HN, and I see that they're more ahead of me. Sometimes I find it really hard to stay motivated and build
Do the Pokémon card makers make money continuously as the cards change hands?
For fully able users with access to a screen and a mouse, perhaps so. However for users navigating with assistive technology things are not so simple. A UI is not only what you can see, it is also how different users on different devices interact with it. A front end developer know that and knows how to make a simple UI accessible to every user.
None come to mind - you should give it a go and see how the PR turns out
If the largest governments in the world agree that crypto-hashes are stores of value then it really seems like BitCoin won.
It would of course depend on the river and its own temperature.

Keep in mind that we're now seeing sea surface temperatures above 38°C (100°F).

If the river itself is slow-moving and is in an area of prolonged heat, it will also be warm.

The areas most prone to high temperatures often also have little surface water, or at least, not enough to shelter all persons affected.

Water refuges being too warm for human survival is an early plot point in Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future.
They're billionaires. No one worth billions of dollars is "normal". Fewer than three thousand people alive are billionaires.
Maybe they are pretending they are more advanced than they are, to discourage other people from competing. Or maybe they are really doing it and you should build something else instead.
It helps me to set a goal that when I have learned the new skill I can then pursue. Right now I’m working my way though one of those 8 hour YouTube golang tutorials, after which I’m going to launch a blockchain into the Cosmos ecosystem. CosmosSDK is written in golang.
I really enjoy a lot of Tom Bilyeu's content, but I've noticed he seems to lack a filter for great ideas from charlatans. And in some regards fair enough, it can be hard, but he's also building a brand and company around some folks who seem to be exaggerating their claims. For example Raoul Pal.
1 BTU is the amount of energy required to raise 1 pound of water by 1°F. Take 5 gallons (~42 pounds) at say 70°F (21°C). Raising that 42 pounds of water by 25°F/14°C will take just over 1K BTU.

That's maybe 2 hours of cooling per person and it's not at all obvious that during such a heat event that you'll have access to a continued source of 70°F/21°C water. If you only have access to 82°F/28°C water, 5 gallons only lasts you an hour or less.
Attitude like that from companies/developers/etc. are the reason why a lot of white-hat security researchers are in fact grey-hat.
The critical point is whether we studied PFAS _before_ it was used extensively. I may be wrong but to my knowledge of historical chemical production is that we generally use a chemical for a long time before we do extensive research into safety.

PFAS is kind of unique because it is politicised: there are lots of groups who claim harm and therefore don’t want to look at the science skeptically. And if harm actually exists, governments want to reduce liability so are happy to ignore any signs of harm before a cheap solution becomes available.

The Race to Use Fracking Tools for Geothermal Power
Here's the reduced-down version: You get some stake for free when you join, it entitles you to a fraction of the profits while you're there, and you lose it if you quit or get voted off the island according to some bylaws. Stake also gives you voting power for hiring new employees (including managers), and how much stake to give them. And nobody can buy shares, especially those who aren't employees. To simplify things, there are no wages.

But idk, this just sounds like a worse version of a regular corporation. New employees' stakes will pay out in a way that's competitive with local wages. More profits than usual will have to be paid out rather than reinvested in the business (think high dividend yield, low P/E), otherwise new employees just needing to pay bills won't trust it. If they want to offer some wage and less stake, it's the same.
I don't intend at all to suggest that the loss of call center jobs is good per se, but rather that the job they're tasked with is a net harm to just about everyone downhill of the owners and C-suite. For what it's worth, I spent a few years riding a bus route that probably would have been cut if it didn't serve these folks, and I've spent almost as many years believing that they deserve better (even though two or three of them had a little bit of fun annoying the nerdy white guy working his way through the Zenithia Trilogy on his 3DS).
I’m going to call bs on that. I’ve dined at high end restaurants and there is no way you can pay people that much and survive. The problem is everything cost more. It’s not like it’s a $20 meal that’s 800.

There’s expensive plates, bowls, silver wear, custom presentation items. High end materials every where. You’re hiring more staff so that you can pay attention to every detail. The wine cellar might have several million dollars worth of wine in it.
Don't ignore the speed of changes.

It's fine, most banks don't directly finance small businesses lmao. They make you take out personal loans instead.
I understand the (rather obvious) basis for this argument, but at what point does the responsibility shift to the doctor? If you don't have a health condition, and you ask ten doctors to diagnose you with one, then isn't the real issue with the tenth doctor who diagnoses you with one, rather than with yourself - the patient - who genuinely believes (given the benefit of the doubt) that you're suffering from symptoms of some condition the other nine doctors wouldn't diagnose you with? I mean, is it really the responsibility of the patient to moderate the quackiness of doctors that are willing to prescribe whatever medication for whatever illness the patient might have? What's the point of doctors if we can't trust them to gatekeep the drugs (and VA benefits) we put them in charge of disbursing?

I think the reflex to blame patients for this situation is revelatory of the real issue, which is that the entire discipline of mental health is disconnected from any physical reality or real basis upon which a "proper" diagnosis can be based.
Sure. Because of course they were all dying to learn the old and poetic French and use it for all their needs from this moment on. Only american guns could sway them away from that plan.

Which did promptly materialise when it became apparent that Canada is not in position to control its naval crown jewel.
Thank you for strengthening my point.
If this was with Argo shouldn’t finalizes prevented this?
Nearly a decade of development later, it still makes completely nonsensical and very dangerous mistakes after just 20 minutes of driving.
No, but he is hoping that people's distaste of the republican party be knee-jerky enough to allow him to continue hucking his magic beans.
It is definitely possible, but it takes organizations that allows people to learn and practice both, and a developer culture that allows for developers to be multi-disciplinar.

So far what I've been seeing is whole teams that "don't believe in full-stack developers" so they box and typecast people who try to do both.

You gotta send the right message from the top to change this. I've had some FE developers that picked up BE and are doing great at it.
The point is that you probably wouldn't tell it from bottled wines of other brands, that's basically superstition, as is the belief that metallized PET can leach anything into your booze in non-homeopathic quantities.
For a different perspective; I suspect they'd be fine in the US. Signs and drones are different. The former is petty vandalism, so is the latter sometimes but others you might feel pretty justified in removing the little spy camera from your space.

But a blimp, high up and clearly doing something? Nah, it'd be fine.
Did you consider just making an array of HashMap, say 512 of them, and locking only one of them based on your key's hash?

Or, more generally, minimizing the odds of waiting on a lock, without resorting to a complex lock free scheme?
This probably works fine at a small scale. With a small number of employees, you can cajole people into voting for something they're not 100% on board with, with the understanding that they'll get something they particularly want later on. There can be give and take.

But if you had a large, 1000+ person company, unanimity would obviously never work. You would have to go by majorities or supermajorities instead.
Just did. Thank you.
How do you learn stuff like this? Especially the JNI and off-heap memory parts.
This is a Qt5 project and not really indicative of the actual development experience imho. Writing native software for native platforms with native UI and bindings is a big undertaking but worth it in the long term
Researchers: Asian Americans have significantly higher exposure to toxic PFAS
IAM users are still needed in large orgs because of legacy tooling that only accepts access key ID / secret access key sigh.
All I can say is good luck with that philosophy in anything other than writing drivers or small embedded systems.
Eventually. The problem is the volume of non-wash trades on a lot of crypto is so embarrassingly low as to not do any real price discovery.
You are joking, but that's not untypical for worker owned businesses.

There are studies about coops that show that workers are more engaged in the business and will decide to suffer temporary wage cuts in hard times (opposed to layoffs) in order to maintain the business long term.

Two friends of mine actually have worked in the same restaurant coop at different times. The pay was fair, the conditions were good, the people were great and they had a high degree of agency. As you can imagine, they had high standards in terms of where they buy, what they produce and so on. Preferably local, fair etc. It's also a restaurant that exists since a long time.

The negatives that both reported were:

- Long meetings each month, there was no hierarchical structure. When the better argument wins (and not from who it is) then you need time to discuss things.

- Criticizing or firing people is emotionally taxing.

There was _never_ a complaint of shared responsibility in financial terms. That's a given. That's what you sign up for.
Third world wealth equality conditions correlates with third world social conditions.
Sure, but that's not a problem unique to worker owned businesses, any business without enough revenue to pay its bills is going to fall over.
I’ve always thought the word Revolution was the wrong word for this war. Other revolutions have focused on destroying monarchy, the church, landowners, etc. but this was none of that. It was a war for independence.
While you're experimenting, worth checking out https://gradient.ai/ -- they're basically the OpenAI API but with llama2
Even more than Bentleys. There are three Michelin star restaurants that cost fraction of that.
Oh, I've been to that restaurant before --it was fantastic. I had no idea it was worker-owned.

And yes, obviously worker-owned (x) can work. There are many examples among the comments.
I guess I would respond to that by saying that both sides have moved. Really what was "back end" 10 or 15 years ago is closer to devops than what most would call backend.

Would you expect these new backend folks to be able to, take, say, a clean linux install and build a relatively full stack on top of that - Apache config, firewall, that sort of thing?
A very small one might. But a lot of family owned businesses employ their kids or other employees as regular, wage-base staff, without having a say in decisions.
Hot take: the industry as a whole is very bad at both front-end and back-end. They both have their intrinsic challenges, but the discipline of software engineering is so immature that the self-imposed / accidental complexity dwarfs the essential complexity. We could all be doing much, much better at both.

Front-end technologies are not "progressing rapidly", they are thrashing. People are (rightfully) extremely frustrated with the limitations of the tools they have, so they (wrongfully) go off and invent new tools that get around those limitations, while inevitably re-introducing tons of difficulty in whatever the tools they're replacing were developed to avoid. It's just around and around. Developers aren't falling behind, they're simply getting dizzy. What they should be doing, instead of throwing out all the babies with all the bathwater and going and inventing their own giant frameworks with Blackjack and Hookers, is working on the theory of software engineering.

Our theories of software engineering are terrible, and I very rarely see discussions where I see actual theory-building. There are a lot of religious discussions, and a lot of slick new tools that let newbies make cool things quickly but always make complicated things harder. We need better theories of software engineering, not more new JavaScript frameworks and NoSQL database engines.

So don't worry about which one is harder than the other. It's an arbitrary line anyway, and it depends way too heavily on the specifics of the project. Realize that by and large, almost everyone is still shit at the entire stack.

There are a million HIV deaths annually. Once something becomes endemic we accept it as a new mode of existence.

There's clearly no lack of existing solutions in the k8s space because a majority of the comments are currently "why not use X instead".
I don’t think you’re viewing it quite correctly. Reasonableness standards usually exist in order to funnel legal compulsion into a narrower range than would exist without them. It can bracket out behavior that to the average, ordinary, everyday member of that particular community would be extreme on one end or the other. You generally don’t want the law to require people to behave in extraordinarily heroic or extraordinarily cautious ways compared to how an ordinary person under similar circumstances would act. And “ordinary” here is also context-sensitive. What’s reasonable for an ordinary teenager may be extremely impulsive or foolish for an ordinary adult. Or what’s reasonable for an ordinary expert in a field may be wildly dangerous, say, for an ordinary layman.

All that said, though, reasonableness standards exist all over the law and don’t all necessarily serve the same purpose or function exactly in the same way, when you get into the weeds.
Yeah... Sounds like you found your people. Glad you live far away from me.
I actually really like this construction/framing. I’ve been wondering for awhile how we claw out of this state where voting is a right not a privilege. You can’t discriminate on anything close to a protected class for obvious reasons, which roundabout includes education. But discriminating on whether you allow yourself to be solicited or not seems kinda brilliant. I don’t want peers who sell their souls to the sexiest corporation casting votes that have been tainted by corporate marketing dollars. I don’t want politicians in office who are exposed to that either. Amd of course I would love to flip a switch and have it be illegal to solicit me and never see another internet ad or receive another flyer or fake important envelope in the mail. Seems like it could be fruitful to draw a hard line between being open to being influenced by advertising and having any sort of political power.
Its nice to see that it won’t matter which party as more commissioners will stop getting in the way of magic beans
Shake Shack serves delicious food. No one with a reasonable understanding would visit expecting healthy food. Before criticizing them, try launching a burger joint in the highly competitive US market of 2023 and see if you can achieve the same growth as Shake Shack. It's a bit harder than creating a CRUD app.
One of my favorite examples is Black Mirror’s “Fifteen Million Merits”.

Read as a prediction of the future, it’s kinda shit. Unremarkable at best.

Read as a way to show us the time when it came out (roughly now—it’s not so old) from a perspective skewed enough that it might prompt us to re-evaluate our own normal, it’s pretty damn good.
Those classmates committed felony extortion with their threat, just as an aside.

That would've been a better legal threat to put on them as a offensive move, instead of using the EFF. "Sure you can attempt to have me jailed but your threat is clear-cut felony extortion. See you in the jail cell right there with me!"
Maybe it will try to make an escape before it dies? Honest question. Like for reproductive purposes?
I wouldn't be surprised if we see soon those predictions change.

Crap, I didn't know these acronyms before either and now I've turned into a Gartner shill :sob:
I hereby dub this "Baron-von-Munchausen-as-a-Service."

Now you can pay real money for a chatbot to make stuff up about your company and its products.

While it is pretty incredible stuff, until or unless they have a veracity bit — some sort of "please don't lie" flag in it, I'd be wary of what it produces.

Will ChatGPT offer off-the-cuff pricing, discounts, rebates and refunds that are in line with your actual business model? Will it make written offers you will be legally-obligated to adhere to? Will it lie about your features and capabilities, or that of your competitors? Will it invent whole-cloth SLAs and KPIs you'll never be able to adhere to? Will it make up arrival and departure times? Medical conditions and prescribed treatments/therapies? Will it glibly give instructions that can get consumers/users who read these statements fired from their jobs, fined, imprisoned or killed?

There are places where you only want to give a generative AI so much room to color outside the lines. And after that, you are going to want traditional procedural logic to take over. Decision-trees from manually-maintained systems and even multi-decadal-honed expert systems.

There are some things where letting a computer make up a plausible response is ... okay-ish. And there are times where you can cause immense amounts of damage by letting things get outside of your control and human review.

This should come with a consumer warning label that would put your typical pharmaceutical safety disclosure to shame.

Now, with all that said, I am amazed at many of the results these LLM-based systems can generate. My main concern is that they are getting so good — or at least so plausible — that they can even fool domain experts unless they read really, really closely. And the experts won't be able to do that at scales of 10s or 100s of thousands of transactions per second.

Kurt Vonnegut was accused once of ripping off George Orwell's 1984 with Player Piano. He responded by saying that he and Orwell had both just ripped off Yevgeny Zamyatin's We. Yevgeny Zamyatin was a Soviet author who ran afoul of Stalin and wrote We inspired by his perspective of the revolution.
It reminds me of when people complain about stuff like Electron apps.

If you hate it, go do it yourself. You’ll either a) succeed and solve your problem or b) develop a much more complete understanding of the problems being faced by someone in a different role.

I think every worker would benefit from being more involved in the business operations, or really any other jobs that help their company/project function.

(of course it’s probably not practical to do so)

Europe has the same survival of the fittest mindset as the USA. When revenue drops, employees are laid off and businesses go bankrupt or get sold for a pittance.

Olivetti, Bull, and Nokia used to be a computing industry leaders. How many people work there now?

No one is entitled to anything beyond human rights. Your social security can be cut with the stroke of a pen. In fact, if you live long enough then that will probably happen due to the collapsing demographics in most European countries.
Based on these findings, these researches believe that exposure sources, such as dietary sources and occupational exposure, may underlie the disparities in exposure burden.

Ok. Why? What aspect of diet heightens exposure? Soy rich diet? Ratio of highly processed food to raw? Occupational I can understand, if Asian Americans work in clothing, plastics, packaging and assembly they'd be handling PFAS rich materials.

Worrisome.
this eventually gets someone killed or severely injured.

Ok, you've convinced me. This article could have given more information and context so that folk without that benefit would walk away with a more nuanced understanding of screening and its seemingly paradoxical costs. A short article that glosses over the details was not appropriate for this subject. Seeing plenty of evidence for that in this comment section.
what's your point with this?
love your code (erm, the product of your code, at least), use it every workday, literally

also, true about rewriting subject.rs, that was a bit of hyperbole about how everything spreads out vertically and seems to do one task per screen-full of text. I'd need at least as many lines as functions and classes and returns, so about 40 keeping everything clean and not combining/deleting classes. which is what you have if you combined your multiline statements.

(aside, i don't need to know how to read rust to understand subject.rs. The comments describe everything in plaintext)
