The complexity in front-end code does not follow from that. User-oriented features are orthogonal to the issues described in the article (those are all developer-oriented), and all the described issues are not new in any way, and handled well in other environments:

no universal import system: Practically all other languages have a universal import system.

minification, uglification, and transpilation: Many other languages are not just minified, but actually compiled to machine code or at least VM bytecode, and still handle source mapping, debugging and code references in stack traces better.

different environments: This point is the only one that partially applies, because the front-end is fixed to JS due to browsers. Non-browser front-ends exist though, e.g. native apps, and have no problems sharing code through libraries.

file structure: littering the root folder with config files is annoying but hardly a real issue.

Configuration hell: Works fine in other languages (no all of them, though)

Development parity: Works fine in other languages (no all of them, though)
There is an excellent video on YouTube by MIT Prof Sontag on Casual Inference worth checking out [1]

There is certainly a tight embrace of OSM by less than trustworthy entities. Just check the sponsors of this conference.

Where that could lead is hard to assess for a casual observer. One hopes the good people who got this going have instituted adequate defenses.
I believe it was Schopenhauer who said in one of his essays that (I’m paraphrasing) just because content is new, doesn’t make it good, because with a constant stream of new content, what’s good doesn’t stay new for long.
Something that stood out to me skimming the paper - that was somewhat buried - they finetune the model on each benchmark.

"Finally, for each individual task (benchmark), we fine-tune the PaLI-3 model with frozen ViT image encoder on the task’s training data as described in the cor- responding section. For most tasks, we fine-tune the 812×812 resolution checkpoint, but for two document understanding tasks, we go up to 1064×1064 resolution"

Edit - No, I was wrong, Palm-X is also fine-tuned before each task/set of tasks.

Impressive improvement!!!
Unless Russia has armies, weapons and smart generals kept in secret you can write them off. If you can't deal with the likes of Ukraine, you can't wage real wars against capable adversaries. And China hasn't gone to war since the Korean. So there will be at least couple of years of painful learning period for them for the difference between theory and practice.
The American Revolution was led by rich landowners who didn't want to pay more taxes and the poor masses were roped into going along with it.

In contrast, the French Revolution was led by intellectuals and demagogues against cruel and unjust power held by the aristocracy and the rich; the poor masses joined willingly.

This is why when the French are unhappy, they protest and riot because they feel empowered. Meanwhile, Americans wait for someone to lead them.
Oh my. I was Kantara's Part Merchant / PartBank / etc

I even pitched Gil Amelio and later Steve Jobs on the idea of the online store in the OS. Gil was kinder than Steve in his no, lol.
I really want to prototype more apps in Django. For the one app I've prototyped in it, the dev experience has been excellent. Django seems to a good balance between obfuscating the hell out of what's going on under the hood, and making the user "ride the rails" with no suspension, so to speak.
where's the non community edition? I wonder if you're thinking about a different project altogether?
Yes

And that's obviously how it works. Maybe it will then enable wifi instead of sending data through wireless charging but that's it. And then it would turn itself off. Still what you can do is what Apple could do before putting it into the box. Again, obviously

I fail to see how this is concerning (to put it politely)
> This is an HN thread about an extension that offers extra UI to save, manage your tabs.

But your misunderstanding was much broader, and I'm responding to that. This extension is bad since it doesn't allow auto-sync, but that's not relevant to your promotion of bookmarks

> Bookmarks already definitely have better UX for organization, they can even be renamed, tagged, searched… natively!

only if you ignore the issues that make them worse UX for organizations that I've already mentioned in the list, specifically

> losing that order when you regroup tabs during continuous work

This is a critical difference between "retain your working SESSION at the latest point your worked on it" and "Saving all tabs as bookmarks" that you just ignore

also,

> they can even be renamed, tagged, searched… natively!

How to you add multiple tags in Safari ... natively?
I mean unless you author the software for your own devices we all out trust in all of the companies we purchase from.
I wonder if this is the reason why Starfield is so disjointed and the inventory system is the same as it always has been. You would think they would put a specialist on such an important part of the game.
>and Israel's response in terms of the siege, forced evacuation etc.

i saw interesting "exercise" on reddit. i suggest to repeat it here.

you are in charge of country that been bombarded for 20 years. last weekend "they" blew up holes in fences, killed 300 policeman/soldier. murdered/burned/tortured/raped/etc 1300 civilians (it's like 30000 if we extrapolate it to US population) and took 150 (probably 2000 if we scale to usa size) hostages and run away to hide in tunnels below cities and continue to shoot rockets into all cities that they can .

what are your actions ?
We sadly don't have a lot of "great PMs" in games. Pay's not worth it to begin with as a programmer, so they wouldn't make much more (or even less) if they worked as a producer or even PM.

How long did it take to figure out the workings of the Antikythera mechanism? Roughly a century?
A city is much smaller than a state, and we're talking about advertisements here. Of course they charge you the correct amount.

The update broke the camera recognition for the code. But you were able to type it in manually.
Oh, OK. CHU is the real time station, like WWV/WWVH.

Here's a recording of CHU, still on the air.[1] For comparison, WWV [2] and WWVH.[3]. This is what people used for time sync before GPS. Any shortwave radio can receive these, and with enough antenna, they can be received almost anywhere on the planet. They are also frequency standards, with their carrier frequencies regulated by the atomic clocks.

Sending time signals over digital audio channels with seconds of buffering is wrong enough that it's probably better to discontinue it. That's less accurate than most modern watches and worse than cell phone time.

You cannot trust Google translate with Finnish.

For example: Both of these sentences mean the same thing, but are translated differently by Google translate (mobile app, if that makes a difference):
Suden syö karhu.
Karhu syö suden.

Your best bet is to learn Finnish instead of relying on a translator.
> Is this solid information? A lot of different stories in media. For instance, WP reported that there was a breach.

I have not seen a single article reporting that there was an actual compromise of 23andMe's security systems. If you have any examples, please share. I have seen articles calling this a "data breach" (TFA calls it that), but it always leads to details saying it was just normal credential stuffing.
I wish Godus had turned out to be what the videos looked like, with physics and simulation. Instead it just turned into a timer farming game.
Reality of the American Dream? Minorities have made more economic progress in the US than many white Americans.

Let's start with that.

The other arguments about systemic racism are the same arguments pushed by the radical left today, I'd hardly call it "widely accepted".
I had the same thought, although it's possible it only takes a few seconds on the pad to start the process. There's no way it has to sit there for the whole update. It's quite possible that they have to check in each box individually anyway, so this might not add that much time. And it could outweigh the time cost of helping customers with updates post-purchase (or allow them to manufacture/package devices further in advance of the release candidate being available, which could be even more valuable).

Regarding the in-store experience, I have had similar challenges. I walked in wanting to buy an iPad, and knowing exactly which model I wanted (and that it was in-stock at that store). The employee asked me "if I had an appointment". Since when does one need an appointment to purchase something off the shelf? Crazy.
"potential for abuse"

As opposed to opening the phone, plugging the cable, doing whatever you want and shrink-wrapping again? (which is easy)

"Oh but it's wireless" It's through the wireless charging mechanism. That makes the whole difference
Apple also writes iOS, so you already have to trust them to buy and use their phones. I don't really see the difference here.
The modification is an addition, not an edit, if that clarifies things for you.

Injecting mRNA, a gene, into your body modifies the set of genes in your body.
Due to the new gene in your body your cells produce a protein they otherwise would not have.
The reason anybody ever thought this was a good idea was to mitigate against an overblown risk from infection by a novel virus. People’s wariness toward the virus was understandable though given the many strange questions around it and the bizarre, unprecedented, inhumane, response provoked in many countries.

This whole notion of putting a gene in the body to evoke a response doesn’t haven’t any long track record of understanding behind it, therefore terming it experimental makes sense.

Thus, experimental gene modification.

I’d guess there might be some fancy statistics term to describe the intuitive calculation for some of us high iq critical thinkers that said don’t add on a potentially very large upside of risk onto something for the purposes of possibly mitigating a very small range of downside risk.

And now with all the complications arising from the shots that intuition was clearly correct.
Even if all the issues hadn’t become apparent it would still be the right call for those with that limited range of downside risk from the virus to have not tacked on additional unknown risk from the injections.

Do you know how many countries that once used the mRNA injections have now barred their use for some or most of their populations?
Interesting. Did you share it?
This is maybe half true. Dark matter is required to explain these under the current lambda-cdm model, but the behavior of galaxies is not evidence for it in a constructive sense. It's only evidence that the current model is untenable.

Galaxy rotation curves are better explained by applying general relativity without the severely restrictive assumptions required in lambda cdm. You don't even need the full thing, just the first order linear approximation that allows for gravitational waves (and thus is causal), as Ludwig showed a few years ago. You need at least this because gravitational waves exist, and those cannot occur in the singular newtonian limit used mostly for convenience.

It doesn't take much to then question the need for dark matter as if it is compensating for poor models in one case, it probably is doing the same in others.
Yes, it always was like this, all the way back to snake oil salesmen and probably even further back. Now we have 'legit' companies that know the exact snake oil you'd want.

There will always be a battle between the wants and want nots.
Cool! I find it has been implemented in the tslib (https://github.com/thuml/Time-Series-Library), the results seem promising when I reproduce the experiments.
Sure: we can debate what amounts as "a breach to a system".

If personal data leaks through credential stuffing, scraping, or whatever, I still call it a breach personally.

That's not the most annoying thing about the 1976 Copyright Act.

The most annoying thing about the 1976 Copyright Act is that copyright is only nominally automatic. To be clear, it casts a huge shadow over all creativity that would have otherwise been uncopyrighted. But on the other side, there's still a registration system. You need a registration in order to sue infringers, and you don't get statutory damages on infringements that happened before registration[0]. This trips up loads of creatives, and especially photographers, because it's a lot of boring bureaucracy that never gets explained to them up until they've already talked to a lawyer who says "no you can't get $$$ out of this big company that used your Facebook uploads without permission, because copyright lawsuits are never worth pursuing without statutory damages on the table".

The cruel irony of US copyright law is that, while we only half-implemented Berne, we still use Berne as a thought-stopping cliche for why we can never claw back copyright protection from the half-dozen publishers and creative artists that actually benefit from owning your childhood. Because the base assumption of copyright is that only the creative upper class is worth protection. Protecting artists as a class requires syndicalism and mass unionization, not atomizing everything into individually held psuedo-property rights that are financially ruinous to assert against anyone who won't fold immediately and settle.

The orphan works problem you're talking about is deliberate. Publishers like the idea that when they knock out a less-scrupulous competitor, their creative works spill out onto the ground like Diablo loot, and they can collect all that up and just idly hoard it forever. At the very least, a work that nobody knows how to license or can't afford to license is a work that has been taken off the market and can't compete with them.

Funnily enough, GitHub repos without a LICENSE file are covered by a fallback license in GitHub's ToS that basically says you're allowed to fork and PR. They've probably also explicitly added a "and we can train GPT on your code too" EULA ruffie in there too.

[0] There is a short grace period for this, of course. I think it's 90 days.
If you wrote them a check, they would also have your account number forever…so I’m not sure how this would be different.

Auto pay works well for orgs that don’t want to bother with their own payment portal. Unfortunately the USA doesn’t hav something like the online pay slips they use in Switzerland. There you just pay any bill directly from your own bank’s portal.
We're actually first-classing a number of languages and ecosystem support precisely so that people can use their languages of choice and not just SQL or Pl/pgSQL.
To some degree Conway's Law [1] in that sufficiently large organizations each team will fulfill a more and more niche specialty. Basically teams get bigger and split into multiple charters, often subcategories of the original team.

I've worked in medium to large companies (3k-200k employees) and the smaller companies what is the responsibility of a team would be an entire org in the larger ones.

Even getting all the experts in a room is hard when it's the TL and Manager from half a dozen teams.

Agile isn't about raising the bar, it's about raising the floor. Agile is for the worst employees, not the best ones. It's about holding their hands through every single moment of their workday, and letting go at 5PM to say "see you tomorrow!"

It's a complete joke.
So this means they can make and package iPhones much further in advance. I assume that prior to this, they had to keep all of the manufactured units unboxed and ready to update — until the OS was finalized. Now they can make them months in advance with a placeholder OS, and then update them in-store on release day. Smart!
Yes, there are authors pushing a narrative. But, let's not pretend these institutions are powerless. They often get a board seat; although, some give up their proxy vote and they are pushing an agenda with their ESG score. Unsure how much of it is just optics.

You're welcome to do it.
Somehow, I have the feeling that upon the Court receiving the case to be heard, any sane judge would look at the details and go

"So let me get this straight. You're trying to sue the company you invested in for paying their lawfully assessed taxes? Case dismissed, and don't darken my courtroom door with this ever again."

Fiduciary duty does not justify, incent, or require tax evasion. The Courts would be the last people to say otherwise.
As for monetization, surely making the ios app paid would be palatable to most.
When used “correctly”, it comes with a discount, like say $100 amazon gift card for $90. Not a bad deal if you were going to spend that money anyways.
This is why I dont work for anyone but my customers. There is no way I would deal with the kind of dissonance we are living through today. I do all my design work, my coding, my deduction for people that hire me directly for individual projects. I don't make as much money as I would working for a company, but you can't put a price on piece of mind.

Not a great example, it was recognised as an orrery almost immediately which laid open a myriad of possibilities as to how it might be geared and what it might track.

It took from 1901 (discovery) to 2008 for it be scanned using x-ray tomography and digital reconstruction algorithms for it to be certain (well, almost completely) what the gear trains actually were - it was so corroded and encrusted it sat on a shelf for a century and deemed impossible to deconstruct without actual destruction and no guarantee of gaining information.

This isn't an example of an ancient device that defied modern understanding for a century, it's an example of an archealogical find that took a century for technology to advance to where it could be scanned.

Right now there are many sites in the UK, for example, that are "preserved" until such time as they can properly scanned and dealt with.

Part of it is flash going away too soon before there was a viable replacement for rich us experiences and it’s taking some time to make that happen (and then some).

Things have been quite brittle and requiring constant updating, or more than seems reasonable. Many devs don’t know a better or simpler time.

There seems to be some emerging options, whether it’s the livewire type technologies, or the most recent new curves that libraries like svelte, flutter, alpinejs and more have taken, providing most of the bang with less overhead.

89, 263, 201: A set of three encrypted notes from the nineteenth century (2015)
Peter has a classic case of "Illusory superiority". Because of the recognition he received in the very early formative years of the game development industry, he has come to believe he eternally stands on the pinnacle of game industry innovation and creativity no matter what he does, rather than treating each of his projects critically and individually.

This is like if someone was the best Chess player off of intuition in the 1500s and received great respect for it, then fell off as others studied the game more deeply, but still considered themselves the pinnacle of Chess skill in 2023 despite not coming close to a championship for centuries.

Peter Molyneux deserves respect for the foundational impact he had on the game industry. That does not mean that respect needs to carry over to literally anything he does today if the work itself doesn't amount to much.
Who is "everyone"? The people I know are not angry. We also generally don't sit around bemoaning the state of the world incessantly, which seems to be all the NYT can do lately
A whole lot isn't. Django, Node, Electron, Caddy etc. Everything that companies open source that isn't monetized (like DraftJS, Gerrit). And don't forget Linux on which the entire web and all the commercial stuff you mentioned runs.
It is deliberately confusing, but ultimately the meaning behind seems to be "this particular data collection is not for personal advertisements, we got that covered in some other way".
That works both ways. a short video about how to properly chop potatoes is better than a text document. They are different forms of expression
> I don't know what you're negating here

You said "As much logic that can be pushed to the database as possible" and that's simply not true. The normal, mainstream way (like it or not) is to use the database as a dumb store and have the business logic in the application layer.

> A SQL database is more like an array. Things are stored in memory one after the other. That is the default. You can then choose an index, and have pointers to sections of the array that can make it havethe speed of your typical hash map or n-ary search tree. There is a huge amount of logic being thrown into IO.

None of that is business logic. It's implementation details at best.
But that goes probably back to what I mean. Browsers didn’t provide that because it wasn’t their purpose.
Many Christians vehemently disagree that the Muslim god is the same as theirs. What a bunch of academics have to say on the matter is irrelevant; religion is just someone's personal belief and completely unfalsifiable, so you can't say they're "wrong".
If these are really just temperature and hydrogen sensors, then not that much can actually go wrong. Also, internet connection is not required for this to work. According to the linked press release, it is only connected to WiFi.

In the UK we have listed some of our most famous brutalist buildings for protection. This includes the Barbican Centre in London and the Corbusier inspired Park Hill in Sheffield - the largest listed building in Europe. It's not without controversy though.
