Eh, if you're at the point where you're doing stuff like "give me all records where a one-to-many has exactly two entries, and a different one to many has at least one record with property x" it gets VERY hard to do the correct performant SQL. I don't think that sort of query is too bizzare.
It's not that hard to ignore it entirely or read the feedback, disagree, and disregard. People are such wimps about this stuff nowadays.
That's not why those things died, though. They died because smartphones stopped supporting them, and that combined with advancements in JS engine speed were all it took to get brother vendors to scrap the buggy, security-hole-ridden plugin ecosystem.

WASM should hopefully not be bad from a security perspective, but the up-front performance penalty of early demos in downloading megabytes for hello world was painful.

More purpose-fit, smaller modules ought to be broadly useful but I'll not be holding my breath. Anything that needs to take over a canvas probably isn't going to be widely adopted outside of some niche things like visual design tools or the occasional game.

Yes, your chances of building something thats actually going to make money are way higher. Most obvious ideas have been tried a million times. Its the smaller businesses relying on some random problem, charge 5k a year for it, get 100 customers, sell the business and semi retire.
I think my favorite is when canned food has "no preservatives", merely enough salt to flavor an entire side of beef.
When I played No Mans Sky close to launch the planets got boring fast. When I played Fallot 4 this weekend I kept getting funneled to the same places I had been over and over with almost no change. It soured me on playing Starfield even though it’s basically free. Maybe I’ll get it in 5 or 10 years when it’s feature full. But after x number of planets you start to notice the similarities and not the differences.
Robots make really bad drinks. I had a long island made by one of these robots in Prague. It was honestly really sad, and the most second expensive drink I had over there.
> The training itself is tougher. I had a coach who said that for every person that chose 1HB, he demanded at least 600 shots in the tennis wall in comparison with 200 of the 2HB, and with the game being as complex as it is in several other disciplines (footwork, volley, baseline, physical training), the least thing that you can do is to have almost 1 hour extra of training for a single shot.

This is definitely true. You can get away with poorer technique and still have an ok-ish two-handed backhand because (and i'm heavily simplifying it here) you're using stronger muscles groups.

There are some exceptions. Some people such as myself are profoundly uncoordinated in their non dominant arm, and after playing with a two-handed backhand my entire childhood it still sucked. It took only a few months to go from never having hit a one-handed backend to it eclipsing my two-hander in reliability (context i was ~15 hours a week, so it was still a lot of time commitment). Would it have been better if i'd made the change as a child? Maybe it would have been a lot better, or maybe it would have been a lot worse because i wouldn't have had the physical development and/or the discipline to focus on the fundamentals of the technique at 12 years old versus the age i did change at 19.
They're two very different games. Yes, they're both in and about space, but that's it when it comes to the similarities. Starfield is a story-driven RPG game, NMS is a different beast.

That energy is already present in the environment, as kinetic energy of wind, which will ultimately be reduced to entropic heat. A wind turbine doesn't affect that fact, though it may change the location at which the kinetic -> thermal energy transformation occurs.

The more likely impact would be of wind turbines removing sufficient energy from wind that thermal transport of the atmosphere itself is disrupted, though this would occur only within an immediate locale and at lower altitudes. Even very high turbines are only about 260 m (850 ft) tall.

The mechanism here would be a reduction in the distribution of solar heating within the immediate vicinity, similar to urban heat island effects.

And searching as I write this for "wind turbine heat island" I find precisely that mechanism described in this paper:

Wind plants can also impact local atmospheric conditions through their wakes, characterized by reduced wind speed and increased turbulence. We explore the extent to which the wind plants near an atmospheric measurement site in the central United States have affected their long-term measurements. Both direct observations and mesoscale numerical weather prediction simulations demonstrate how the wind plants induce a wind deficit aloft, especially in stable conditions, and a wind speed acceleration near the surface, which extend ~30 km downwind of the wind plant. Turbulence kinetic energy is significantly enhanced within the wind plant wake in stable conditions, with near-surface observations seeing an increase of more than 30% a few kilometers downwind of the plants.

"Wind plants can impact long-term local atmospheric conditions", Nicola Bodini, Julie K. Lundquist & Patrick Moriarty, Scientific Reports volume 11, Article number: 22939 (2021)

<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-02089-2>

But that's not from energy transferred from the wind via the turbine, but of disruption of existing wind flows.

Careful: Chicago is a big city, and it's tough to characterize population loss the way you are. The neighborhood that experienced the most population loss over the last 20 years was Auburn-Gresham, which, while "walkable", is not a place a lot of Chicago residents go out of their way to walk in. One large pattern of population shifts in Chicagoland is from the formerly-redlined south and west sides to the south suburbs, or to the southern states.

The parts of Chicago you'd think about when you think "walkable cities" are thriving.

Nor should you. Even a well-formed sequence of utf-16 codepoints can be utter nonsense; there's approximately no level of abstraction between "sequence of fixed-width code units" and "run it through a full-blown a font rendering stack" where it makes sense to assume your input is "well-formed".
I was a "broadband technician" around then and AT&T Broadband did not give AF if you were stealing cable or not. I only handled cable modem installs and quit after a year to go major in philosophy and because:

- Getting quietly threatened once (with AR-15 up against the customer's front door) on a troubleshooting call that I wasn't able to leave until "the internet started working".

- Having to increasingly go do cable TV disconnects because people were usually in a bad way and I had more than one colleague that had either had a gun pulled on them or straight-up shot and left to die up a pole for most of a day while trying to disconnect cable.

- Having to increasingly go on cable TV installs because people's shitty TVs backfeeding electricity into the cable line meant I was getting zapped at least once a week.

That said, I met a lot of cool people, gave out a lot of free TV/HBO because I didn't care unless the customer was a dick, wrote down a lot of funny stories and ultimately realized that I could go college in spite of dropping out of high school because I happened to install the non-traditional student advisor's cable modem.

My colleagues said they'd see me back at the shop in four years after I graduated with a philosophy degree. Jokes on them, I dropped out after getting a job at Google.
> cheap ice cream is full of air

Every good ice cream is. It has to be, otherwise it would be a block of hard ice, regardless of the quality of ingredients.

You are right, though, in that it could be misleading. In Europe it's generally also sold by volume, but both volume and weight is present on the label, like this: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F....
Growing up my best friend dated a girl with very strict parents, who did not approve of the relationship. He was pulled over and arrested for grand theft auto. Spent three days in jail until she was convinced to make a statement at the police station and they let him go. Parents reported the car, which they must have owned, as stolen, and gave my friends description to police
This is crazy cool! Esolangs have been a hobby of mine, (more just an interest lately, since I haven't built any in a while,) so this is like a fun code golf game for compilation. Nice work, and even better, nice explanation article!
I dunno. I did a compiler writing course once, writing a compiler for a subset of Pascal in Ada, generating a kind of quasi assembly. It was a team project. I did most of the codegen and static optimisation.

It was super fun and interesting. But I wouldn't say it was a terribly useful exercise that has greatly enriched me as a programmer.

And somehow I have ended up with a very strong bias against DSLs.
Apparently it’s because of ethics committees. You can’t do a controlled experiment on people who are vitamin deficient, so iirc modern studies are such comparing people who are not deficient to people who take additional vitamins and find no effect. Which of course doesn’t mean that vitamin supplementation is worthless.
This is amazing, is there a place to learn more about the apprenticeship?

In theory, yes.

In practice, wave action is caused by fetches across hundreds or thousands of kilometres of sea surface, and even offshore wind farms tend to be located within a few km of shorelines.

As with other impacts described, the potential interactions with bird life (strikes, kills, behavioural disruption), and of the artificial-reef effects of offshore turbine foundations and anchorages (probably largely positive) would all but certainly dominate these by many orders of magnitude.
I’m not sure I buy people’s surprise that it’s not 1000s of world filled with unique content. How exactly would that be done? LLMs? Not available when they started making this game. Anyone with even the most limited of game design and/or programming knowledge would know it’s going to be 10 really well fleshed out worlds and 1000 seed based procedurally generated worlds. And the procedural generated worlds are great for firefights and resource mining.
I wonder if it’s a thing where no one ever actually wrote “cable theft is a 6mo max sentence”, but rather a serious of things that seem reasonable on their own:

- Cable theft is fraud
- Fraud is a Class Z crime
- Class Z crimes have this sentencing range

I guess I can see how that happens.
Look random internet person. I'm not going to sit here and try to solve an incredibly complex problem - one that I don't have the tools or ability to even begin to approach.

But I am telling you that monitoring and surveillance is not the first, second, or even tenth potential choice available to start tackling this problem.

What “cloud data”? Most apps that are available for iOS are also available for Android and are subscription based these days.

Copying data from iCloud Drive to another cloud provider like Google Drive can be done in the Files App.

Music you bought has been DRM free since 2009.

Apple works with MoviesAnyWhere. Four or five of the major studios participate too. Meaning any movie you buy from one of the participating studios can be synced to Amazon Movies, Google Play Movies (or whatever it’s called these days), Vudu etc.

Photos can be synced to Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive.

Bookmarks can be synced between Chrome and Firefox and Safari if you have a Windows PC using Apple’s extension for those browsers.
But what about the hundreds of local jobs they promise?
> Since nations are competing, and we're talking about exponentials here, the cost for cutting off exponential economic growth too soon is likely to become irrelevant to the future, which every nation is going to strive to avoid.

I question this definition of relevance. To me, relevance is having a healthy, happy, sustainable society and culture. It's not accumulating goods and energy consumption in a self-destructive and planet-destroying way. The sooner nations realize this, the better.
Vscode? Near instant start times. Macros? Standard column select with just alt.

Sublime? Honestly I can't remember as it's been a while since i used it.

Gedit? 100s ROM standard text operations such as line trims, case replacement, line ending replacement, find in files, replace in files, replace via regex in files, split window of same file, auto save non-saved files, show whitespace from tool bar, opening of very large files quickly, code folding, line numbers shown by default, probably wouldn't print errors when executed in the background on a fresh or updated install for the last 10 years necessitating the redirecting of all output streams thereby hiding possible issues.

And I actually kinda like gedit...

Waiting for the "if we'd all just use emacs" folks to show up.
I like this thought process of different food axiom/atoms being cultural… thanks for sharing the insight!

In the context of healthy diets for living to 100 I wonder what the best axioms are.
Haha. That's been my status for about 4 years. I switched to doom emacs and I keep saying, "as soon as things slow down, I'll build this from scratch..."
That's a very odd case to critic, because it claimed to be "made with olive oil" while it merely contains olive oil, which seems like an open and shut case of deceit. Why are they advertising the olive oil and only the olive oil? Why not "Made with soybean" or "made with palm oil"?

It's not even clear to me how much olive oil it contains; according to the label it's "made with blend of plant-based oils (Soybean, Palm Fruit, Palm Kernel, Olive and Extra Virgin Olive Oil)". 1% olive oil would satisfy that, and given the relative costs and probably small to non-existent flavour differences, I'm betting it's a lot closer to 1% than 99%.

"Not reading the nutrition label" basically means "accept that the front is just a bald-faced lie". I got shit to do and a life to lead, and I don't want to scrutinize tiny text for everything I buy just to check if the basic facts on the front are correct. This is why regulations exist in the first place.

> this seems like a lot to go through to solve something that isn't much of an issue in the first place...but with more explicit iteration and runtime checks they are almost never a problem I see anymore.

If you can afford runtime checks (if they are not much of an issue in the first place), Haskell, C++, Rust, and Julia can have runtime checks.

If you want to opt-out of runtime checks, Haskell, C++, Rust, and Julia can opt-out easily, but unsafely.

So, to be fair to Haskell or any of them, this is not a complication specific only to Haskell.

But Haskell enables you to do more. With around 30 lines of Liquid Haskell (those lines between {-@ and @-}), you can upgrade simple runtime checks to compile time verification, see the full example [1]. You get great efficiency, safely, without unnecessary runtime checks, which is impossible in C++, Rust, or Julia without Liquid Types.

Tip for anybody in a similar situation, when they give you a gift card and a years free service, it means they are certain you can sue them for at least 10 times that amount.
Why do you think people are surprised by the fact that the thousands of worlds are, in fact, quite same-y? I haven't heard or seen anyone actually be surprised by that. Seems like it's meeting everyone's incredibly toned-down expectations.
I'd rather make my own drink, its not that complicated.

The reason most folks go to a bar is to be around other humans, even if it's just thr bartender with a few pleasantries and a nod or two.

This takes that away, and it's just alcoholism fed by robots. Sad and dystopian in my view.
> Long-term ongoing economic growth, expressed as a constant percentage, is baked in to most current orthodox economics and economic policy.

As a forecast which may or may not happen? Yes.

As an actual outcome that has been decided a priori? No, not at all. Only planned economies tried to do that.
You're correct, it was not, but GP was referring to those who weren't proactive or fortunate to have the bogus charges dismissed.

The original poster had the time, money, and wherewithal required to document the issue, pay for legal representation, fight the case, chase expungement, and absorb the damages to her character from the remnant records of her criminal charge that remained even after expungement of official records.

"If it's not a big deal now it's not a big deal now, and if it's a big deal in the future then it will be a big deal in the future" is not adding as much to the conversation as you think it is.

The point of HN is in large part about thinking about the future and not just look about how things are just "right now". There is no point discussing the impact that things have right now, we can just measure it.
C++ software should really only be run in a sandbox since this kind of stuff is inevitable.
Have you tried to get in touch with a handyman, or a building contractor, or a pool service guy, or a CPA, or a doctor’s office or basically any service provider lately? Nobody seems to be picking up the phone anymore in any profession. I had to leave a message on a home painter’s voice mail saying “I have a stack of cash right here that I want to give to you to paint my house! Please for fuck’s sake call me back!”
yeah, I wasn't thinking straight - on the other hand your explanation does make me wonder now if Johnny Cash's One Piece At a Time Cadillac would have ran into trouble if he tried to sell it.
My former manager at work posted a photo out of the window of his condo. I correctly identified his building, floor, apartment number, and which room he was in when he took it.

He was impressed and slightly horrified.

I'm no rainbolt, but the are a few neat tricks you can do. In my case, I was able to identify two landmarks that overlapped, and used Google Earth to extrapolate a line from them to his window.

Still, nothing compares to that time 4chan identied the location of a terrorist training camp from a photo and gave it to the Russian military who promptly bombed it (https://imgur.io/N7DwWP1).
Yes, I love this guy's stuff. His style is very unique, expertly knowledgeable while still completely casual and humble. Like a very smart friend teaching you, rather than being in a class.
Honestly half the time the site doesn't even describe what the software is for. They'll be like "CRE8TR TAKES CREATIVITY TO A NEW LEVEL", "Used by industry professionals worldwide!" If you've just come from a random link on Hacker News or something they can be incredibly vague.

Once again, a screenshot immediately shows me "oh, it's a UI wireframing tool."
NMS holds no interest for someone like me. No story, no drama, unrealistic graphics. This is nothing like that.
VsCode, or Codium, which is what I use, does not have a macro facility. That for me is the killer feature of Notepad++. I have no experience with the other editors, but I suspect they also have no macro capability, or if they do it doesn't measure up.
Many of these items are complety arbitrary. As someone who's been cooking some pretty elaborate dishes for over a decade, I don't actually recall ever coming across these two distinctions.

Why is cinnamon sugar "composite" whereas 5 spice is atomic? Who defines these? Are you suggesting that if you use packaged cinnamon sugar on donuts you can't claim to have made them?

For reference, I mostly roast and grind from whole spices. If I need garam masala, Chinese 5 spice, Lebanese 7 spice, etc, I'll make it from scratch. If I new cumin or coriander powder, etc, I'll grind them in my spice grinder.

Are you suggesting that jarred pasta sauce and pizza are different to each other? Following your criteria, I'd classify both as composite.

Not to say that I disagree with most of the list - there's a distinction between highly processed and cooking dishes from scratch, but it's more nuanced than what you've presented here.

HN loves to shit on webapps and honestly with very good reason but the reality is that for a lot of people a cloud-based app they can use on absolutely any computer (or, often, phone/tablet) they can get their hands on is a huge boon.

I would like to add "Think Like a CTO" by Alan Williamson. This book was just released a couple of months ago. The author had experiences as a CTO in different companies. He shares about planning, team management, technical decisions, security, etc.
