Also embarrassingly easy to defeat, but I do think it probably still has a place in catching low effort plagiarism especially from people who don't have a good feedback loop for getting caught (think bloggers more than students).
I'm using Hotwired (Turbo + Stimulus) for my products, and it's been fantastic. The lack of client-side logic can make some tasks a little tedious, such as only showing an "edit" button on a card to certain users. But, overall the speed of development is fast - particularly for things such as infinite scroll or real-time updates.
Seems like this article spends more time telling you what to think than explaining what's actually going on. Is there a better explanation?
But if the software keeps getting modified and expanded it will not be stable. Bugs will be added. And that also causes bloat. I think they go very much hand in hand (and very much correlates with the frequency of upgrades... usually upgrades that no user asked for anyway).
Most traditional hackerspaces either went defunct or pivoted more towards coworking. The allure is pretty obvious: way higher margins. No tools to maintain, no giant safety concerns, just need tables, chairs, and vending. Also, people (or rather companies) who are willing to pay for coworking usually have more resources than “makers” who do not have the equipment or space at home to house projects.

Tech shop tried this coworking model on a makerspace, and we known how it turned out. While it had some internal problems (from what I’m aware), it was never going to be sustainable because, at the prices they were charging, those who could afford it could usually afford some sort of desktop version of what they used tech shop for, except for maybe the water jet and plasma cutters. It was a self service machine shop that required you to invest your time in training to be able to even utilize, and no real community experience to speak of. It became a lot of people doing professional work, a few hours of machine time each per week, and they would go home.

But all this is to say that a makerspace (nor a coworking space for that matter) is a hackerspace automatically, that titled is earned. The point at which a shared space like this becomes a hackerspace is the point where it becomes “cool”, where the community has reached critical mass, events and meetups can happen periodically, and it becomes a hub for the community.

Most hackerspaces that went under recently will have claimed it was because the pandemic and lockdowns, but those events were merely the catalyst to their demise. A lot of people in this thread posit that the community is nice or at least important, I disagree.

The hackerspace is the community.

Hackerspaces that could not keep up with rapid community attrition during the pandemic post-lockdown were left them resource-constrained, unable to keep up with financial commitments. Most in this position chose to close. The community (more specifically the community members’ network) provides the stability as nearly all opportunities, grants, donations, and other contributions originate from people who built or are active participants in the community. An actively shrinking community effectively lobotomizes the hackerspace, leaving nothing more than an empty shell.

Coworking spaces are for those who want to play office (WeWork, HackerDojo)

Makerspaces are glorified tool shares (TechShop)

A true hackerspace is a community space for those who are curious, creative, and passionate about doing things just because they think it’s interesting or cool.

For a couple of months, yes, but why is he using the present tense?

I whish! There are still to many ads in my timeline

> "and no-one knows what will be broken by accident or on purpose tomorrow. The example that’s closest to home for me was that the in-house newsletter product was shut down"

uh? newsletter product? I don´t care if there is a bug from time to time, what is he expecting?

> "Meanwhile, beyond the chaos, there has been no sense for the actual users of where we’re going. What should those newly hard-core engineers be shipping? A ‘super app’? A universal content platform with no external links? Your financial life? Seriously?"

At this point I has to double check if by "being on Twitter since 2007" meant he worked there, but no, he has never worked at Twitter, he is just talking about opening a free account. And yet I writes "where we’re going" as he and Twitter where one. Maybe it was a copy/paste mistake or a typo.... or maybe he is delusional.

> "And then, there are the Nazis."

His definition of Nazi is probably VERY encompassing but still, what the heck is he smoking?

I also have a Twitter account since 2007, and in the first few years it made a huge difference in my personal and professional life. Although I remember those years as "peak" Twitter, current Twitter is good enough and MUCH better that the stinking toxic pile it was between 2014-2022... I don´t get the hate
Some people (speaking as one) like to speak self-righteously about decisions they make. "I think everyone else should do what I do." Seeing that in writing, it sounds ignorant and foolish; how unimaginative to think that everyone else, if they even exist, has the same preferences and ways of interacting with others.

To counter this impulse and recognize what I'm feeling so I can better decide what to do, I journal and meditate and go on observational walks, something everyone should of course be doing. Wink.

Don’t use rust nightly. Is there any indication that code built against Rust 1.0 no longer works?
Le Souffle du Jasmin by Gilbert Sinoue has been recommended to me but he writes in French and I haven’t found an English translation.
In this case, are you recommending the serverside validations (is a promo code still active and not expired) run after the call to stripe's confirmPayment, because you have a clientside validation (promo code matches a regex)? If so, that seems problematic because your severside validation could have prevented stripe from ending up in a dirty state. If not, then I'm not following what you are recommending.
Interesting idea... Opt in to opting out of adult content... Some potential issues:

1. Might be hard to enforce the safe content header... They have a hard enough time with copyright content, and there's a much larger financial incentive in that case.

2. Need to agree on what is safe and what isn't. Bit of a can of worms there...

Rust has fairly strong backwards-compatibility guarantees, so that sort of claim surprises me. Can you give an example of the code you wrote four months ago that won't compile using the latest stable toolchain?
If you only used stable rust (i.e. not nightly) I would be interested in an example of code you wrote 4 month ago that you cannot compile anymore.
There’s a reason that 1984, V for Vendetta, Judge Dredd, etc. are all created by people in the UK.
I'd imagine a different dystopian nightmare.

Google don't care if an individual site blocks them (in my experience they are one of the better crawlers at obeying robots.txt) because they know - given their search monopoly - that the vast majority of the internet would never dare to cut them out. WEI is a way to cement their current position further without needing to play dodgy games with special Google certs.

If they put out WEI and start encouraging sites to use it for better SEO, the majority of the internet will do it (and wont put in the same effort to support other crawlers because those search pages are only < 1% of traffic according to their Google Analytics)

At that point, when change (legal, technical, social, whatever) comes to try and break apart their hold on search - there is yet another technical constraint that works in Google's favour. It won't be Google's "fault" that websites give them privileged crawl access and greater reach, but we'll all be stuck with it.
"AI" is just another information manipulation tool, like all the other information manipulation tools before it, it just looks scarier than others as it is branded as being closer to our own intelligence -- because survival is a game of intelligence against other animals trying to survive, something of greater intelligence (in all forms, or even just in the current environment you are in) is always an enemy of sorts.
It still does that, just without formatting, with Ctrl-Shift-V. Or at least LibreOffice Calc does.
This isn't really true with stable Rust. Rust uses a system of "editions" for crates, where newer compilers are directed to parse the code using the older rules and it can freely interoperate with code written for newer editions even in the same binary. If you use nightly features then sure, that can break, but once a feature is stabilized its functionality is guaranteed for many years.
While I appreciate the spirit of your comment, that's actually not true! There's an (admittedly winding and untested) route for The People to alter the constitution called an Article V Convention or 'convention of states':

FWIW, I am someone whose body and brain operate several orders of magnitude better and more consistently when I am on something that looks like a paleo diet (which doesn't sound that different than the anti-candida diet).

I was never close to being "bad enough" to go see a doctor for fatigue or anything like that, but it's the difference between "OK" and "great." One of the things I noticed is that when I am doing this diet, my skin clears up while when I am off it, I get slight rashes. Again not bad enough to see a doctor but indication that a diet rich in sugars/carbs allows enough yeast to propagate that it shows up in superficial rashes (so imagine what's going on inside the body.)

I have no idea the connection between it and Alzheimers, but there's probably a crisp connection between "clean diet" and "good health" and then between "good health" and "ability to fend off disease like Alzheimers"

There's always going to be people who will say "oh this is not definitively proven so I am not going to get excited about it" and that's fine but it also feels like missing a lot of opportunity to leverage a bunch of empirical observation to your advantage, and feel better (and look better!) in the process.

Seems like a good time for the quip "all models are wrong, some models are useful"

I agree that these models are not literal binning functions of Normative Truth, but rather they are intended to be useful.

Another way to consider: everything natural is analog (afaik), and everything digital is human-culture influenced. So whenever you see X categories, it's ALWAYS arbitrary humanness. For me personally, realizing this made me get over whether something was "right or wrong" and back to whether it was useful or not.

Ask HN: Any Bun stories in your job yet?
What is everybody's experiences of experimenting with Bun? Any success stories?

Personally, I tried it during v1.0.3, and although it seemed to manage a `bun install`, it fell over on almost every node project at my place on the execution side (`bun run`, etc.). It felt like it needed at least a couple months to get rid of all the rough edges, memory leaks (which is basically a death-nail for real world use as far as I can see), etc.
Yes.

> That’s a function of the train speed. If the train traveled at 300 mph, then LA<->SF becomes faster than Brightline’s 180 mile LA to Vegas route, which looks like it will average 100 mph.

Even with the speed, you would have to do LA <-> SF as the crow flies. California HSR Phase 1 is 520 mi.

On the other hand, LA <-> LV is effectively flat, at least from where the Brightline leaves in Palmdale. The difference between the two projects is pretty stark.
Kids already see tons of ads at movies, billboards, clothes people wear. Those superhero movies are made to sell toys and games. Stores are setup for kids to pressure parents.

Why are targeted ads the thing we should fear for our kids? Are we inventing problems? Kid watches superman movie and is shown an ad for batman vs here is an ad for a random movie. Adults and tracking is bigger issue, kids don't have positions in society to lose or secrets to keep or money to lose.

What are we fooling ourselves into believing we are protecting again?
This is so very true.... Academia has not fully adapted to the reality of the world now with the internet and AI, and the reality of real world use cases, work environments and human nature in relationship to it.

We're still in the early stages of it, but AI is and will continue to force us to re-explore our relationships with work, productivity, authenticity and what really matters to us about the "human element" in anything.
Those are not necessarily examples of lifting. Those could as well be explained by the contribution of not pressing on the opposite pedal (to keep the foot from sliding).

And not pressing doesn't shine any light on the force of lifting.

I'm just trying to switch to pnpm and I'm a bit lost on how to dockerize packages in my workspace, something that I thought would be a common thing to do.

The example in their docs [1] seems to just be wrong

> FROM common AS app1

> COPY --from=prod-deps /app/packages/app1/node_modules/ /app/packages/app1/node_modules

> COPY --from=build /app/packages/app1/dist /app/packages/app1/dist

This of course will not work, since the node_modules folders of packages in a pnpm workspace just contain symlinks to the virtual store at the root of the monorepo, not the actual modules.
I don't see any good way to do what this example pretends to achieve (minimize docker image build size) since even when hoisting is forced, pnpm seems to only ever hoist node_modules in the root of the repo.

Sorry for this somewhat unrelated rant, I was just surprised at hitting such an obstacle immediately after trying to adopt pnpm after I heard so much praise for this tool.

> Might be hard to enforce the safe content header...

You don't need to enforce it. Sites without this header will not be accessible from a browser when "safe content" setting is active.

> Need to agree on what is safe and what isn't

There are ratings for games and movies, let's consider "safe content" to be a content which a 12-year old can watch.
Perhaps the book was "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari? It is a great read!
So they're really going for that web environment integrity bullshit? And they're marketing it to politicians as 'protecting children'? Absolute scumbags if that is the case.
Tragically, it works both ways.

8. Destroy privacy of anonymous users.

9. Increase privacy by preventing reposting (by robots or trolls) of information that a court has ordered suppressed. (Example from the near future: AI-generated revenge porn.)

10. Increase privacy by preventing companies like Clearview AI from legally getting away with murder of privacy.

Edit for Belopolye's response below: Very good point; but that would require all websites to be in on it and not just a partial implementation. But the movie and video game industries would love that...
The other problem with that solution is that it's impossible. Sounds great aside from that implementation detail, though!
If it would be possible, could you provide us more insight into her supplement protocol? Would you recommend Candex or Undecylenic Acid or anything else?
“Interest rates”
Interesting. This was my first post in a while, so spam doesn't make sense to me. I'll re-read the rules on promotion, this was a feature I built from the ground up, so I would imagine sharing it in a community of builders and creators would be fine.

Appreciate the insight!

Every computer, laptop or smartphone imported, or sold, must have this setting. If OS developers do not want their OS to be pre-installed they don't need to implement the setting.
Sure I agree with all that.

I’ve moved to a model of only designing with parts available at JLCPCB (or LCSC, which you can have JLC order internally for you). It requires a change in mindset, but being able to spend $300 on QTY 10 fully assembled complex PCBAs delivered in two weeks is a revelation. No more boxes of components sitting around my lab. No more hours spent doing microscope and tweezer placement. No more orders split across Digikey and Mouser. I order the PCB and everything else from the same place. Hell I got my first CNC machined parts from JLCPCB recently and their quote was 20% cheaper than the other Chinese CNC house I was using.

It’s real nice. I focus on design and testing and not doing assembly.
We don't ID everyone only those who are borderline age wise. This would be everyone and remove privacy for all.
They’re both selected and trained for that quality, as are the rest of the flight crew.
This may very well be worse: children would have no access to internet except for websites designed with the single goal of extracting money from parents.

The 5-second test:

- look at "latest commit." 4 years ago is not good. 2 days ago is good.

The 30-second test:

- total number of commits. number of active branches. number of PRs.

The 5 minute test:

- are there PRs? How many open PRs vs how many closed? Is there lively discussion in PRs?

- how many different contributors are there? 1 contributor is OK (and often means that the library will be very coherent) but multiple "main" contributors is better.

- are there good code examples available? Are there commits that indicate that examples are kept up to date?

I have never ever used stars to evaluate anything.

Unrelated but see also 'stress' by Amos Waterland, an excellent workload generator to impose CPU, memory, I/O or disk stress on POSIX systems and report any errors that come up [1,2]. The tool unfortunately hasn't been maintained for some time, but it's being resurrected [2].

I'd like it if things took five seconds instead of ten... But mostly they work. It's fast enough. CPU load is generally low enough for good battery life.

It's hard to complain when everything is so cheap and easy. 40 years ago we might have literally written letters for everyday utilitarian purposes. Even if you added a limit of 2 characters per second that you could type, I'd probably get used to it and say "Still faster and easier than a pen".

And on top of that, stuff seems to get faster all the time. The new Ubuntu no doubt is packed with more code than ever... But it feels faster than Kubuntu. I assume they fixed some big in allocating resources or something.

Every generation of software is more secure even if less private, subjectively I notice more reliability every year.

These days we have watchdogs to restart broken apps. Maybe every day it's down for a minute. Back then, people didn't always add that, they just "Tried to get the code right"... And it would be fine for a year and then be down for hours.

Modern software is more predictable. Overall quality might be less, it might crash weekly instead of monthly, but a reboot is far more likely to fix it, we have fewer places were your app writes a bad setting and now it never opens again till you manually edit something.

We can always do better. We very much should. But I'm generally happy with the current state.of software, and most consumers seem to be too.
What I wrote is how the law should have been written (IMHO), not how it is. You are correct the law forces them to act as they do.
Seriously, you can take economic contrarianism too far.

Take a deep breath, forget all the rabbit holes you've been going down and go look at who governments actually hire, at what rates, and to do what. They're not recruiting civil servants or police or nurses or economists from the dole queue, or from people whose skillset is in imminent danger of being rendered obsolete by an algorithm. Just like the private sector, they have the remarkable ability to hire people that already have jobs or good job prospects by offering them more money (or more flexible work and better pensions, or a fancier title, or something that interests them more)

Government has exactly the same ability to hire people as the private sector (more actually; it has a broader revenue base, can offer more unique privileges and actually has near monopsony hiring power in many areas... and no, people don't train to become NHS healthcare practitioners because the local supermarket is replacing people with kiosks!) and does not need to create unemployment to be able to man its offices.

Quite the opposite actually, when unemployment shoots up governments in most developed countries have the obligation to pay lots of people unemployment benefits for , not working for them, and generally that's about the time it starts cutting the size of its own departments.
