> Modern cars work, let’s say for the sake of argument, at 98% of what’s physically possible with the current engine design. Modern buildings use just enough material to fulfill their function and stay safe under the given conditions. All planes converged to the optimal size/form/load and basically look the same.

Is this all true? I'm somewhat sceptical of extrapolating that broken processes and waste don't also occur in other industries. A quick Google search says around 30% of building materials delivered to building sites is wasted. I've also seen some pretty impractically designed buildings in my city that probably waste a lot more energy and people's time than they should.
This is Israel. Firstly, you'll have to deal with some repercussions from the USA for taking any action. Secondly, try to criticise Israel and see what media brand you as.
The experience is really seamless, mostly it just works… which IMO is nothing special as they mostly support installing the latest and maybe a couple of other versions, and software that requires weird stuff will likely be packaged in a self contained way.
So, new framework-specific syntax is bad (for some reason), so the solution is a new framework-specific JS DSL? As much as I like DSLs, this is hardly a great revelation that justifies the tone of the article. There's plenty of prior work here, including in the frameworks the author criticises. And there are good reasons why HTML-constructing DSLs haven't caught on in JavaScript.
> they've got a good brand, but that's pretty much all they've got.

I wouldn't underestimate this. I recently went on holiday, and while I ended up booking on Booking.com as I have done for all my recent trips, I still described the place I stayed in as an AirBnB when asked by friends where I was staying. That will last a long time and is arguably the "hard bit", turning that into revenue won't take much. I was even doing most of my browsing on AirBnB.

I think AirBnB have just missed the budget end a bit. If you want to stay in a nice place there are some amazing places, and with their Super Host program the mid to high end is well catered for. What has been lost is the budget end where so much of the market is, and which Booking.com is excellent at. I'm a fairly budget conscious traveller and find AirBnB to be average to poor value for money now. A new budget conscious program where you still know you aren't going to get placed in a glorified hostel would be great.

I used Elm for a while (even gave a conference talk about it in 2015) but I don’t really know what Elm would add to the discussion. Elm’s template syntax is only superficially different from JSX. It’s nested function calls, which is exactly what the JSX transform turns JSX into.

And Elm overall is really not very different from React. What happened is that TypeScript got really good and took over. You don’t need a different language to get great static typing.

Speaking for my team, I have several older engineers and it's not so much that they are innovative, but that their experience is incredibly invaluable to those of us who feel like we are innovating, but not in the right way.

I just hit 40 last month and I notice that people younger than me can make innovative leaps faster, but people older than me see the problems and solutions faster.
How so? I don't follow. It's still the same optimized, global, secure key-value store. It just has a different interface if you cannot possibly fathom using different tools than the ones you use to deal with the filesystem.

Pwsh is pretty neat in that regard. Besides the actual filesystems drives, many systems have "providers" that allow you to treat their objects as files: the registry, environment variables, the functions defined in your session, the variables, the aliases... Unix's "everything is a file" became "everything is an item".
I really has fun doing the Python course at Hacker Rank as I was already proficient at Python but also open to learning more.

How is that remotely the same thing? The infographic above and others clearly claim that ISPs will be blocking services then requiring you to pay for them separately.

Exempting services from data caps is not against net neutrality, and for example has been regular practice all across Europe (which has "net neutrality").

Isn't it just shifting the goal posts after the original claims of NN campaigners were discredited and never materialized in any remote fashion after NN was abolished?

Let us not forget that net neutrality campaigning was primarily pushed by Netflix, who refused to pay Verizon for infrastructure upgrades as per industry standard going back decades.

The standard is that the disproportionate data user pays to upgrade the ports, equipment and/or line infrastructure. This is absolutely fair. A parallel is electricity capacity for homes and businesses, if you require more electricity than the local street infrastructure can provide you pay the power company to upgrade it to accommodate you. Only fair, the heavy users pay.

The movement carried water for deadbeat corpos. Netflix wanted to saturate internet links and balked at paying Verizon for new switches and pipes -- so they got their subscribers to complain.

I doubt the bank will let me run an alternative app to their "tap 'yes' and type in your mobile PIN within the next 3 minutes to confirm the operation" functionality. Hell, after I broke my phone, I had to call the bank's support for them to manually authorize the new instance of their app as an "authorization tool". If there are procedures to do this with third-party software, I haven't heard or seen them mentioned anywhere, much less documented.

If the shop can do it easier, prices tend to be lower. Exchanging a broken back is vastly cheaper on the iPhone 15 compared to the 14. And of course, it makes a difference for the environment, whether a device can be repaired for a reasonable cost. First of all, because it can be repaired and isn't thrown away, and it is more likely that people are willing to pay for repairs, if they are cheaper.
All official materials should primarily be posted on the original authors' websites and signed using asymmetric cryptography. Furthermore, new open standards should be established to enable the presentation of such signatures/verification on well-known platforms like YouTube, FB, etc. These platforms should always provide a clear reference to the original material along with its digital signature.

For example, when watching a video on YouTube containing a speech by the president (provided on an official channel like the White House's), there should be a clear indication that the video has a digital signature and the option to verify it on an independent government website.

While the point made by the authors is certainly a valid one, it's a bit sneaky and not very fitting to their overall message that they have the Y-axes on the ngram graphs not 0-indexed. This makes the google results seem more extreme than they in fact are and is a bit of misdirection in itself.

Compare e.g. to the actual ngram viewer which seems to index by 0 per default:

In my experience with my phone Samsung S10e, and my provider being a reseller, I am able to use 4g and 3g (when available). And 3g provides better and superior coverage.

With LTE, few times I am unable to browse or do anything because I have no signal, if I switch to 3g I immediately have 2 or 3 bars and can use it. Unfortunately, I can't force the phone to use 3g as I used to do, because more and more areas are now without any kind of 3g coverage.

So I guess I will have just bad 4g signal, until I decide to upgrade a perfectly fine working phone with 5g support, and only then I will be able to discover if 5g is good as 3g or bad as 4g.
That’s the thrill of the aqui-hire but that person is frequently out as fast as they can get out because they can’t stand the new culture. If it is Google they are going to trash all your old code and re-write it in a hurry to make it scalable but unmaintainable anyway.
This is the fundamental problem of data analysis: your analysis is only as good as your data.

This is not an easy problem.

It's hard in general to evaluate data quality: How do we know when our data is good? Are we sure? How do we measure that and report on it?

If we do have some qualitative or quantitative assessment of data quality, how do we present it in a way that is integrated with the results of our analysis?

And if we want to quantitatively adjust our results for data quality, how do we do that?

There are answers to the above, but they lie beyond the realm of a simple line chart, and they tend to require a fair amount of custom effort for each project.

For example in the Google Ngrams case, one could present the data quality information on a chart showing the composition of data sources over time, broken out into broad categories like "academic" and "news". But then you have to assign categories to all those documents, which might be easy or hard depending on how they were obtained. And then you also have to post a link to that chart somewhere very prominently, so that people actually look at it, and maybe include some explanatory disclaimer text. That would help, but it's not going to prevent the intuitive reaction when a human looks at a time series of word usage declining.

Maybe a better option is to try to quantify the uncertainty in the word usage time series and overlay that on the chart. There are well-established visualization techniques for doing this. but how do we quantify uncertainty in word usage? In this case, our count of usages is exact: the only uncertainty is uncertainty related to sampling. In order to quantify uncertainty, we must estimate how much our sample of documents deviates from all documents written at that time. It might be doable, but it doesn't sound easy. And once we have that done, will people actually interpret that uncertainty overlay correctly? Or will they just look at the line going down and ignore the rest?

Your analysis is only as good as your data. This has been a fundamental problem for as long as we have been trying to analyze data, and it's never going to go away. We would do well to remember this as we move into the "AI age".

It also says something about us as well: throughout our lives, we learn from data. We observe and consider and form opinions. How good it is the data that we have observed? Are our conclusions valid?

From a practical standpoint, there's little difference between these things. It's all more money in the pool. It's not like wages are tied to productivity.
What gets me here is that bust out 1 happened after one bad holiday season to a company that was doing great the previous year. Another company in New Jersey (Toys R Us) had a similar one mistake year and ended up owned by Bain Capital -- the people who profited from the bust out weren't even part of company. Why is it that retail companies only get one strike before their stocks are pillaged leaving them crippled? Is there another market as ruthless as this?

Show HN: Open-Source, Free, Fast, and Simple Web Store for Your Side Projects
Hi HN,

Over the past year, I've been reflecting on why I haven't shipped any of the ideas I've been jotting down.

While lack of time is a significant factor, I realized that certain frictions make the process less enjoyable.

After listing them out, I found that setting up a database for projects was my top annoyance.
So, I decided to tackle it first[0].

A few months ago, I created an early first version of WebArray.

Initially, I planned to add more features and packages for other languages before releasing it.
But time constraints held me back.

Yesterday, my friends convinced me to release the early version for feedback and then build the rest.
So, without further ado:

WebArray[1] is a remote array designed to simplify databases for small projects.

Its goal is to eliminate the need for any database setup!

This lightweight web store offers granular access control, enabling you to add, append, and replace data with ease.

It's ideal for prototyping ideas and testing with a few thousand users.

The JavaScript library for WebArray is open source[2], and I'm currently improving the back-end service before open-sourcing it.

There's also a Ruby gem available[3]!

I envision WebArray being primarily used by front-end developers to quickly provide remote state to their static apps or offer simple storage for user data.

You can try it in under a minute on CodePen[4].

No emails or sign-ups are necessary! WebArray only requires a unique seed to store your data.

WebArray's versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including polls, surveys, feedback collectors, leader-boards, and status pages, among others.

One of my fun projects, Parayu[5], already utilizes WebArray for user data.

Give WebArray a try for your next side project and experience the simplicity and shit faasst.

> If you are concerned that your dev machine is vulnerable but for any reason you decided to not do anything about it

Why would you assume I'm not doing anything about it? Podman is one piece in my hygiene, not allowing npm scripts is another. It does make some things harder and most devs I work with don't even know it's possible and should be done. Assuming you aren't vulnerable and waiting for a problem to appear before solving it is doing it backwards if you ask me. Your kind of self-confidence is what usually gets people.

I could also point docker-compose to the podman socket (it's the default for the podman compose command), if that was something I needed. Pods do it for me these days, which was my initial point. Even though compose is cool it's not really needed and wouldn't add that much for me these days. I've been using podman so long that I don't see the point in going back to docker, changing the default when what I'm using was built to fix that issue to begin with.

What point are you trying to make? I can live without docker.

Where do I look for fundamental explanations?
To be clear I'm specifically talking about income earning risks, rather than say physical risks.

In those terms, if you're young and you do something high risk, and you lose all your money (or just spend 5 years not making money), you still have plenty of time to recover and make enough money to be comfortable when you're older.

But, by definition, that's not true when you're older.
It's not a UX issue whether to redraw a larger area than where the changes are.
My criticisms is directed at ghosting candidates for a company claiming they will do otherwise. That shouldn't depend on "quite possible small errors in the resume or application". Both were senior roles. They were also the only company doing this from all those i applied for.

That's an uncharitable reading. Genius doesn't scale, so you need processes and technologies that average people (or maybe above average, but definitely not top 0.1%) can use efficiently. Take literate programming, for example: it may be working great for Knuth but most programmers are not Knuth, and I don't even mean it as "not as smart", just "have different mentality and composition of mind".

My information is a decade+ out of date, but Google would perform a recruiter/CV screen, then a technical phone screen, then five technical interviews on one day. And this was all before your CV got in front of the person you'd be reporting to, and before they could say whether they were offering interesting work.

Many other tech companies, having seen Google's success, have decided to ape their interview process.
Usually the same places are listed on both.
