You can also use Nix/Home Manager to manage your Mac (what the author is using). I used NixOS for a few months as a VM and then eventually just switched back to my Mac. Couldn't stand all of the hacks that were needed to get software to behave the way Nix expected them (i.e., JIT binaries not dynamically linked to /nix/store).

That's not good generic advice. Be aware of your best card's fees and see what's better. Credit cards especially are generally atrocious. Some banks' debit cards are free (Monzo, Revolut) and others are no better than credit cards. Hence the market for the pre-paid ones I suppose.

Show HN: Feature Selection Using Genetic Algorithms
Congrats! The world needs more local-first software, but many find a complete switch hard and practically impossible, so reusing existing Postgres DB is an excellent idea. I suppose there is a space for more solutions; that's why Evolu takes a more radical and clean approach with complete privacy by default without opt-out. Also, a dependency on third-party servers should be limited as much as possible, so that's why Evolu Server is super simple and generic for all Evolu clients. Another Evolu feature is the simplicity of the code. CRDT shouldn't be a black box only people with Ph.D. can understand. So, if anyone is interested in another approach, check https://github.com/evoluhq/evolu.
I think it's a complicated issue.

As I understand it, existing HIV medications need to be taken consistently, forever, in order to be effective, and there's still a (really tiny but extant) chance of still being contagious? Uncertain on that last part.

However, you still need the drugs constantly once you've been infected. If a vaccine could be provided that eliminated the need for sustained medication (and thus the risk of loss of access, which can be pretty high in some African countries, I'd imagine), you would have a treatment that objectively is better for someone's quality of life.

So I guess you'd ethically be weighing the risk of misbehavior of the experimental medication causing damage to life versus the long term, sustained risk of loss of access and associated damage caused by just sticking with and improving the existing treatments.

I'd much rather see a population given a one shot treatment than to be permanently beholden to the whims of a pharmaceutical company. Sure, they're BOTH from the same company, but one's scarier than the other in my mind.

Personally, as someone who does enjoy youtube but also relates to the grating nature of over "blogspammy" content, I think the key is I'm rarely if ever only watching a youtube video. Audiobooks/podcast when I can focus, youtube videos when I can't/doin something else. Can tune in and out easily and mostly not miss most stuff as I'm scrolling elsewhere.

Great analysis though, "blogspam" in video form is a fantastic metaphor for the over produced algo gamey vids. (Perfect length to hit max ads, thumbnail, title, intro template, etc)

Sure. Elon himself says that the goal of Neuralink is "bidirectional communication" very often. That means reading from and writing to the mind. Obviously he doesn't want to say "mind control" because of the negative connotation, so instead he just describes it.

As for the "mass" part, Elon has also claimed many times that the goal of Neuralink is general use, and that medical applications are a stepping stone to that.

I would definitely speak to a doctor if you haven't and even if you have maybe a few different doctors.

Implementation-wise, this is vastly simpler than Svelte 4, because everything is explicit.

One thing we didn't really show today is how this works in your editor in practice — for example, TypeScript thinks `$state` and `$derived` are just the identity function. It makes sense when you use it, but I appreciate that I'm basically asking you to just trust me on that!

> Previously, Svelte’s reactivity model was very easy to understand, including its limitations, because it was the result of very simple analysis

I totally understand what you're saying. But in fact the analysis is _anything but_ simple — in places it's frighteningly complicated, to the point that even I sometimes don't understand what's going on! And that's part of the problem — because Svelte 4 is more implicit, you can't really know what's happening in a lot of cases, you just have to hope that the compiler knows what it's doing.

It ignores the value of the physical infrastructure on that property. It's not ignoring the value of the physical infrastructure around it. And this discussion ignores the most likely method of determining the value, which isn't by individual determination of the lot, but by determining the price per sq ft for a block or neighborhood, then multiplying by the size of the lot. Which is a roundabout saying that it may in fact incorporate the existence of the physical infrastructure, but only in so far as it makes the land of the neighborhood more valuable.
To claim such a thing you should put up some evidence. I think they are actually streaming all data to the Martians.
No, you're right that this approach is ok for TCP streams. I shouldn't have thrown that in there without clarification that I meant something more generic.

This "association" business smells like a logical fallacy to me. Since when has advertisement even implied endorsement of nearby content?

If I see a billboard on a bus station, what is the advertiser endorsing here?

What about a magazine ad? Reasonable people assume the advertiser supports every view expressed therein?

If I happened to see an ad on a website with user generated content, would I really think the advertiser endorsed each post?

Sorry, this argument is fallacious. Reasonable people do not make these conclusions.
What sort of soil do you use? We regularly buy and kill basil plants at TJ’s, and I think I’ve narrowed down the issue to the fact that they give you junky soil that won’t sustain the plant long (regardless of watering or sunlight).
So if I’m understanding this, Svelte is moving from reactive by default to declarative reactivity? That does seem like an improvement in signal to noise ratio.

Shared-everything does not scale. It ends in whack-a-mole and an escalating blame game about whether team members are fit to work on the project. It’s bunk. It’s deflecting from the real problem which was dereliction of duty by the “architects” who took a laissez-faire stance on state management instead of providing structure. Worked on a couple of those. Never again.

Practically the whole point of encapsulation is gated access to data, putting constraints on sharing, compressing the possible state space of the system closer to the desired state space.

> A fresh batch of basil at the grocery store is essentially a luxury item, exclusive to those who can afford it

I grow a fair amount my food on my allotment, and one of the interesting things I've noticed is how little the grocery store prices are related to the effort it takes to grow it myself.

For example, I no longer grow potatoes except for rotation purposes, because the time and inputs (fertilizer, etc.) aren't worth it compared to £0.5 per 1kg of potatoes from the supermarket.

On the other hand, basil is extremely fast growing and doesn't need any fertilizer, other than a bit of manure/compost at the start of the season. From my basil bed, I get about 50kg in a season, which has an ASDA street value of about £1000.

This obviously comes down to things like the ease of mechanical harvesting, the complexity of cold chain logistics, etc. Still, if you have a free windowsill and find supermarket basil ludicrously expensive, it's worth sticking a few Sweet Genovese on there.

I don't know if your various flatMap / etc methods are purely implemented in the client (it would be quite bad from a performance perspective? But since you're implementing reducers in kotlin, I guess that's what this is), or if you somehow translate the AST to SQL (similar to jinq.org in Java or Slick in Scala or LINQ in .NET).

But in either case, I think that mimicking "idiomatic" client APIs is more of a distraction than something useful. I've explored this here, where I was asked about my opinion on Kotlin's Exposed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ji9yKnZ3D8

Obviously, this is ultimately a matter of taste, but just like all these "better SQL languages" (e.g. PRQL) come and go, these translations to "better APIs" also come and go. SQL is the only thing to stay (has been for more than 50 years now!)

> We could add parallelism with a .parallelStream() in the right spot easily enough

You typically don't even need to hint it, the optimiser might choose to parallelise on its own, or not, depending on production load... Anyway, that's an overrated topic, IMO.

> I think you probably overestimate how easy SQL is because you're an expert in it.

I'm happy when coding in any language / paradigm. When working with XML, I will happily use XSLT, XPath, etc. When working with JSON, I don't mind going into JavaScript. I'm just trying to stay curious.

I really don't think that SQL is "harder" than any other language. It may just be something certain people don't really like, for various reasons.

> Your whole product is built on the fact that SQL isn't good enough

I think you're projecting your own distaste into my work here. I love SQL. SQL is wonderful. It's quirky, yes, but what isn't. jOOQ users just don't like working with an external DSL within Java (though many are very happy to write views and stored procedures with SQL and procedural extensions). There's no need for a false dichotomy here. I've worked on large systems that were mostly implemented with SQL written in views, and it was perfect!

Also, jOOQ is much more than just the DSL. SQL transformation, parsing, etc., it's a vast product. The string-y SQL folks could use it as a template engine, without touching the DSL, and still profit from parsing / transformations / mapping:
https://blog.jooq.org/using-java-13-text-blocks-for-plain-sq...

Some customers use jOOQ merely to migrate off Oracle to PostgreSQL (via the translating JDBC proxy).

And I'm looking forward to the OpenJDK's Project Babylon. Perhaps we'll get actual macros in Java, soon, which could work well with jOOQ.

Anyway, I didn't mean to hi-jack too much. It's great when people try out new / different approaches. I'm just triggered whenever someone claims that SQL is harder than anything else, when they should have said, they prefer other things and don't want to learn more SQL (which is fine, but quite a different statement).

Do they use it as a defoliant? Pre-emergent herbicides have all season to break down. In the US we spray roundup on wheat at the end of the season to make it all harvestable at the same time. That is much closer to the minimums placed on the label, which are most likely wrong.

The problem isn't that food is cheap.

The problem is that ~20% of the population has food & housing insecurity when we're supposedly ridiculously rich.

I'd argue that the problem is labor is artificially expensive - which prevents all types of things like this from happening - because you can't buy labor for less than $15 an hour after taxes in most cities.

So you can't serve people that make less than a certain amount of money effectively.

People could be employed, making money working in these places - rather than people donating labor - and these same people working jobs like these would have access to these cheaper prepared meals, too.

But, we'll never get that. Nor will we get boarding houses back, because instead of having "slums" we'd rather have a homeless problem and high housing "costs".
This is basically what Vue and Solid do, no? Same sort of state and derive/computed variables, it seems like.

Also, I will never understand why people like reactive signals. The article even quotes "Knockout being right all along" which, no, reactivity and two way data binding creating a spaghetti mess of changes affecting other changes all over the place unless you're really careful is why React was made in the first place, to have only one way data binding and to re-render the entire page in a smart way. React will soon get its own compiler as well which will made regenerating the DOM even more efficient.

It's like every other framework is slowly rediscovering why React made the decisions it made. I am assuming it's because the users who are making these frameworks now have not used or do not remember the times where "signals" were called observables, or the usage of Rx libraries, and how having too many of these would cause you to lose your mind debugging the intricate webs you inadvertently spun.
Fully agree with you. (I'm German as well, in case that matters)
