Should it be regulated? If businesses want known shoplifters flagged by their AI camera so they can refuse service, shouldn't they have a right to do it?

I know in America this would be painted as an attack on the Holy Minority and therefore no one will be allowed to discuss it without being branded a blasphemer, so I'm curious what people on here think.

I feel like businesses should have this right, but I worry about slippery slopes. It might start with shoplifters, and 20 years later when 99% of stores are owned by the same 3 megacorps, people could get banned for wrongthink and for shaping the political views of the masses at large. Kinda like what they do now on social media.

Sometimes you kind of need render functions but it definitely isn't the most handy way of building a template.

Many, many people struggle with this, including FE guys. In my experience, html is a pretty good abstraction of html.

Many have tried making it easy to do this programmatically but, at least imho, no js syntax beats good old html. No a huge fan of react but jsx templates are better than r(node, props). Even jquery allows you to do this.

Those are difficult questions. Are we talking about how "happy" people are? That's the goal for some people, and an official goal for Bhutan according to its constitution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_National_Happiness). But I don't think we know very well how to measure it accurately.

It has been claimed that the move from hunter-gathering to agriculture brought a lot of misery while improving efficiency according to economic measures.

That or maths. Though I seem to recall a quote about statistics...
The cells are pressure vessels, so normal cube-square scaling laws don't apply. Instead you need to use pressure vessel scaling laws, which also account for the needed wall thickness.

Pressure vessel scaling laws say that all cylinders have the same mass efficiency, and making long thin cylinders is easier than making short squat cylinders.

Being an expert in LEGO waste reduction makes nothing for being an expert in plastic packaging reduction. The multiplier is tiny for LEGO and huge for coming up with ways to replace drinking bottles, shampoo bottles, and everything that is single use.

The solution is not to remove all the luxuries (LEGO), the solution is enabling our basic necessities to work without plastics.

(Reducing LEGO is a "vitamin" and reducing single use packagin is "aspirin" in SAAS parlance, if that makes sense. It's good that LEGO takes responsibility for their own stuff, I'm not shitting on them.)

As per the article, these Nickel Hydrogen batteries are very different to NiMH

> Nickel-hydrogen batteries look and work unlike any other battery. They consist of a stack of electrodes inside a pressurized gas tank. The cathode is nickel hydroxide while the anode is hydrogen. When the battery is charging, a catalytic reaction generates hydrogen gas. During discharge, the hydrogen oxidizes and converts back to water.

Yep. A host can come into your room in the middle of the night and kick you out of the place.

It’s then up to a regulatory response associate at Airbnb to navigate the “he said-she said” between host and guest and action a response.

Sometimes they side with the host, sometimes they side with the guest. All of this happens days or weeks after you reach out to Airbnb to complain that the host has just thrown you out in the middle of the night.
OTOH it can also be rational and natural.
There isn't a market that large for LEO satellite data connectivity. Even with the debt burden from mergers in the US, terrestrial wireless will always cost less, and mostly suck less, than satellite wireless. There also isn't enough of a IoT or other specialty market outside the footprint of terrestrial wireless.

It still has them, of course, but the concern is that after ~8 years of SIP basically ~everywhere, platform security decisions have been made assuming it is present.

I am so glad I read that. I feel like I stumbled upon a blog post that perfectly encapsulates many of my own thoughts on web frameworks. The author has managed to articulate criticisms that I’ve long held but struggled to express. I felt compelled to share my own experiences and viewpoints, as someone deeply committed to building user interfaces that are rooted in the foundational elements of the web—HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

The Pitfalls of React and Other Frameworks

What I’ve disliked about frameworks like React is that they don’t fully respect HTML syntax. React offers something that looks like HTML but isn’t quite it. This forces you to juggle two parallel but distinct systems in your mind—HTML and JSX. This dissonance disrupts what could be an organic understanding of the operational principles of HTML.

Philosophy of Building User Interfaces

My approach to building UI is deeply influenced by a philosophy that leans toward artistic or sculptural expression. I believe in cleaving close to the ‘material,’ by which I mean HTML, JavaScript, and CSS—the core components of the web platform. I reject the use of domain-specific languages and avoid CSS processors. I strive for an approach that harmonizes with the given components rather than complicates them, even as I stay up-to-date with new features like async-await.

Ergonomics and Developer Experience

Of course, developer experience is highly subjective. What feels right for me won’t necessarily be right for you. But my goal goes beyond creating a tool that is merely comfortable; I believe there is a right and a wrong way to build frameworks. That’s why it was refreshing to read a perspective that aligns so closely with my own.

Key Takeaways from the Blog Post

The author mentions two vital points that resonate with me:

1. Respect the platform: This is a core tenet I’ve followed throughout my career. I utilize HTML syntax for templating and JavaScript template syntax. For scoped styles, I leverage the encapsulation provided by the Shadow DOM.

2. Minimize introduced complexity while embracing inherent complexity: This point beautifully encapsulates the essence of what it means to build ergonomic tools for UI development. We should aim to write minimal ‘glue code’ that ties the given web platform features into a coherent whole.

Final Thoughts and My Work

Although I think my own framework (good.html) has room for improvement, I’m happy enough to use it daily. I’ve shared my code for anyone interested in a different approach to web UI development. Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/00000o1/good.html

Also if you want to see lots of code that utilizes this in real production, see: https://github.com/BrowserBox/BrowserBox/tree/boss/src/publi...
I wouldnt count AI as intelligent. I have a definition grounded in empirical observations of actually intelligent systems -- start there, and generalise very carefully.

The reason intelligence has evolved in animals is because we do not have the answers. All of modern AI is focused on how to extract behaviour from answers -- rather than how to cope when they arent present.

Intelligence is the solution to the problem that evolution cannot adapt life fast enough. Evolution is the kind of 'intelligence' AI has: delete the failures; know the answers.

The intelligence of interest, in animals, is live adaption to one's environment. It's ecological rationality brought about by sensory-motor adaption.

This is why we find the NN-type solutions to problems deeply unsatisfying. We arent missing something: there is no "there" there. It's just a compression of the answer space.

This is really disappointing: the intelligent solution is the interesting one! Modern AI finds ways of solving problems without intelligence.

Each instantiated module has its own complete function call stack. A call out of the module, to a bit of control code in JS, and then into a different instance of the same module, with the same memory mappings, would look (to the program itself) like a stack switch, no?

I guess it raises the philosophical question of what is a stack switch, anyway? If you end up cooperatively running multiple "green threads" within a single "OS thread" does it matter that what you actually switched was the entire execution environment?
Can you elaborate on this? You mean being good at creating basic IOS/Android apps and then selling them white label slightly modified to various companies?
A cover letter is also supposed to explain why the company should want you to work for them. But this question isn't usually posed explicitly, which I guess is confusing for some people.

Also, almost no-one is motivated so purely by money that they are equally interested in all jobs that pay the same. You can probably think of some reason why you would want to work at company X as opposed to any other number of other companies that may be offering similarly-paying roles.

This reminds me of the claw machines you see in malls.

They look like something you can be good at - place the claw more accurately, choose a toy placed at a cleaner angle - but what they actually do internally is randomly give you a (say) 10% chance, if you hit it you will grab the toy (unless you're REALLY far from one), if not you won't.

The illusion is there, but the profit is stable and guaranteed.
It would be nice if they mentioned anything at all rather than "Competitive"

1000 posts is a challenge for me. But I'm going to write it me, and I don't like being told otherwise.
Wow, this article really struck a chord with me. I totally get the frustration with mainstream UI frameworks, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. These frameworks have their limitations, sure, but they've also pushed web development forward in a big way. The author suggests going back to the DOM API and creating a custom JS API, but that's just asking for more complexity and manual work. Mainstream UI frameworks have abstracted away a lot of that complexity and given us convenient tools for building interfaces.

And yeah, I know everyone loves to hate on the syntax and approach of frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, and Angular. But guess what? They've been widely adopted and proven effective in real-world scenarios. They provide a familiar syntax and conventions that make collaboration and code maintenance easier. Instead of completely dismissing these frameworks, let's focus on improving them while staying open to new ideas.

I get it, some folks prefer alternatives like XAML/Silverlight/WPF or Android with Jetpack Compose. And hey, those technologies may have their advantages too. But before we jump ship, let's carefully evaluate the pros and cons of each option. Consider community support, learning curve, performance, and scalability.

At the end of the day, there's no one-size-fits-all solution in web development. We need to understand our project requirements and make informed choices. Let's keep learning and adapting to new technologies while respecting the merits of existing solutions.

What about frameworks like htmx though?

While they may not be as widely known as React or Angular, they offer a different approach to building dynamic web applications. htmx focuses on enhancing server-rendered HTML with minimal JavaScript, allowing for a more progressive enhancement approach.

By leveraging existing HTML and server-side logic, htmx can provide a simpler and more lightweight solution for certain use cases. It's definitely worth exploring and considering htmx as an alternative when evaluating framework options.

However, it's important to note that the adoption and community support for htmx might not be as extensive as some of the more mainstream frameworks. This can impact factors such as available resources, documentation, and community-driven improvements.

Ultimately, it all comes down to understanding the specific needs and goals of your project. Consider the trade-offs involved, evaluate the resources and community support available, and make an informed decision based on what aligns best with your requirements.

I don't fully agree all of the top commenters points, but I do on their price one. Airbnbs used to be significantly cheaper than hotels and now, in many metros throughout the world, they're comparable.

It's just down to tradeoffs on what you're looking for. You can get a kitchen and a bit more space with an airbnb, but you give up on the hotel amenities of support/cleaning staff, and lounge/gym spaces. Don't get me wrong, I usually value a full kitchen over maid service. But I was able to stay at nobu for a comparable price to a 2 bedroom in Barcelona.

I do agree with your point about renting a room in someones place. But that's now a small fraction of airbnb's business compared to renting a full place.

Royal Navy carriers had homing beacons to help their aircraft find the carrier again. The beacon rotated once a minute, the pilots synchronized their watches to the beacon before taking off, when they heard the signal through their headphones the second hand on their watch would indicate the bearing back to the carrier.

RN strike aircraft also had their own radar which made it easier to find things.

well… on the other hand: have been triangles ever experienced without a consciousness?

this "the idea of triangles would still exist" statement looks very reasonable, but can we ever proove it? you can not remove ALL consciousness to verify. at least a bit consciousness must be in the system to do the experiment.

yes, it very much coincides with all of our understanding of reality, that abstract ideas like triangluarity is independent from any consciousness. at least any consciousness known or conceivable to us so far.

so my extension to this statement would be - admittedly supernaturally-sounding - that: Even if all sentient life in the universe died out tomorrow, the idea of triangles (and "triangluarity") would still exist, possibly because there is a consciousness above/beyond of the conceivable the universe to sustain their existence.
>My mother birthing me made such an impact on the universe that can be surveilled. This is a moot point.

It's only a moot point when you move the goalposts outside of our lightcone.

It is concretely and objectively fact that attempts to avoid surveillance create a profile that can be used to surveil you, because the more you attempt to avoid surveillance, the more you stand out against the noise. Everything leaks.

And your counter argument is that "the material universe exists, and can be observed, therefore your argument is irrelevant?"

One of the primary reasons a company I worked for decided to use Vue was simply that the developers found it familiar. If you've been working with HTML and CSS already then Vue templates really just an extension to something you're already proficient with.

This was important where I worked because we had frontend developers who built the components and pages, and content developers who didn't really touch much JS, but were responsible for small content and design contents around the website. They were able to work with Vue quite quickly because Vue templates are basically just HTML.

All of these frameworks are really just making different tradeoffs in their approach. I don't think the author makes a bad point, but they are advocating for a very extreme position here without much concern for the trade-offs that are generally required to give a framework mass appeal and adoption.

What they're suggesting would have simply been unworkable in the place I worked, for example. The hassle of reskilling just wouldn't have worth it simply so we could be content with the purism of our framework.

JSX is ugly as hell. I like many hated it when it was first presented, but honestly, it works. It's not perfect, but that's actually a feature. It's why both new developers and senior developers and love and hate it for different reasons while still using it.

It's not only about being able to takeoff and land from a highway. The Gripen is designed to be maintained by conscripts, and the entire maintenance system is designed for dispersed operation from the get-go. E.g. all the usual spare parts and tools are located in shipping containers even in "normal" usage on an airbase. The hangars have slots in the sides where they place the containers, the containers thus becoming an integral part of the hangar storage. When it's time to disperse, they just shut the container doors and lift the container up on a truck and drive it away.

From what I understand the F-35 maintenance system is designed around the aircraft being based on permanent air bases. Could a next generation maintenance system be similarly designed around dispersed operation? I'm sure it could, but it's not the reality today.

As for the cost, I can definitely understand the F-35 being cheaper just due to all the fixed costs (R&D, etc.) being amortized over a huge number of aircraft over the life of the program.
