Great release which solves the biggest painpoints with the latest Yarn versions. I still like zero-installs and yarnPath providing Yarn for anyone using the project, but not having zero installs and using corepack to provide Yarn seems like the right choice which reduces friction for adoption.

Also, not having to install plugins such as interactive-tools is sooooo good. I have no ideia why these are plugins in the first place as they are so essential to using Yarn.

I still wish PnP faced better adoption though. In most projects I still go back to using the pnpm or the node-modules linker because of various issues with PnP which are sometimes hard to debug.

In other notes, why the hell in Node corepack still experimental and not enabled by default? I simply don't get it.
Most (actually almost all) IoT systems are not well-thought-out in this regard. It requires a bit of paranoiac foresight. Designers far too often think it's really, really important that remote devices stay connected to the mothership, when in reality, most IoT devices would be far better off NEVER requiring a cloud connection, but leveraging one if/when available.

*Rule One of IoT network design: NEVER assume that you even have a network * If at all possible, and to the maximum degree possible, an IoT device must work whether there's a network available or not.
Fossilized Molecules Reveal a Lost World of Ancient Life
Honestly, there are many reasons for our current situation. One is that companies aren't (usually) run by engineers; they're run by product or business people. Those types don't care about performance, website footprints, smooth scrolling, etc. They care about adding new features, getting users, and doing so as fast as possible. Another reason is that many web developers were taught that software engineering is mashing together a mixture of Node, Ionic, Bootstrap, Vue.js, Angular, jQuery, etc. to quickly make a website. No one was taught how to do things on their own so they just bundle framework after framework into their projects just to do simple things. Finally, it's not like people built highly performant software in the 90s because they genuinely embodied this article's spirit; they did so out of necessity. As soon as computers got fast enough, we stopped having to focus on micro-optimizations just to get our products to run.
Assume 5 miles per kWH of power, that's a little better than the average EV, but as others have noted, this battery will decrease the vehicle's overall weight and thus improve efficiency.

Then the calculation you're looking for looks something like this:

300 miles range * 1/5 kWH/mile = 60 kWH of power

We need to deliver that power in 10 mins, so:

60 kWH * 6 = 360 kW.

You need a 360 kW power feed in order to charge this battery in 10 minutes. Keep in mind the average modern household in the US has a 24kW feed, so it would take all the power available to 15 modern US households to charge this car. But it's only need for 10 minutes. Put another way, if people were continually using this commercial charging point all day long - let's say 16 hours for the day - then for the peak power consumption of 15 US households you could charge 96 cars using this fast charge.
Not the commenter but my library is similar. I live in a suburb of Indianapolis that is quite well off for the area, though very low cost of living in comparison to many metro areas across the country. We also have a city funded makerspace more aimed at trades that offers home improvement seminars, a woodshop, etc.
It’s interesting (and unsurprising) that regions that are geographically isolated (islands) are more likely to have unusual road and traffic characteristics.
The Orange Pi 5 has a very similar CPU and is comparable in cost. The Plus is the "premium" model with things like 2x 2.5G ethernet ports.
Philosophically, how do drop-shippers compare to, say, furniture shops that only have showpieces on display. And when you pick a piece, they pass along the order to the manufacturer to deliver.

Or for that matter, car-dealerships operate on the same model.
> Since they are respected professionals with licenses and training I’m sure there’s a way for the research community to hear from them and start systematizing their observations… or at least, I sure hope there is!

There is. Nothing stops a GP from writing a paper and submitting it. All they have to do is keep track (for a particular symptom) of the exact symptoms, the treatment supplied and ask followup "did it work" questions the next time the patient visits.

They already do this, but per-patient.
Because it's the cheapest way for Google.

What else would motivate them to do something? Externalities that harm others are just gravy for business until it threatens their profit. Awful externalities can even be a sign of competitive edge if they manage to avoid them bring priced in - social responsibility is anti growth.

I think the original poster is referring to the intent of those that believe in (the strong version of) the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which isn't the scientific consensus (at least it wasn't when I studied linguistics/psychology).
Fantastic idea. Minor issue is that when you tap on one of the flags, you get the podcast episode notes but you don't get the title of the podcast. Title needs to be prominent.
Absolutely still writing new Java apps in 2023! Quarkus/TomEE as base framework!
Well, good luck with that. As of now, every line from your product features is an instant "nope" from me.

Also, the short description of "burnout prevention and employees health tracker" very obviously mean the opposite of what it says. So if your product doesn't actually threaten burnout victims or helps management in heath-based discrimination, you should think on something completely different to say here.
If that was true, we should all use assembly because C is too inefficient. Abstraction layers are necessary.

This is where I normally end up in the software is way too slow today discussion.

Everyone claims to care about the environment until it impacts them even slightly. It's not even hard/time consuming to write good code. People are just overwhelmingly selfish and lazy.

Software devs consistently contribute to the environmental problems that many software devs then complain about and pretend is only a redneck issue. The reality is that we have an incredibly serious idiot issue and there isn't a solution due to the scale of the problem and the corruption preventing meaningful change.

An article the other day pointed out the problem well as well. Though it was related to the increasing lack of people who understand the code underneath the current flavour of the month bullshit framework.
>Since when customers have any meaningful choice or way to express preferences? It's long been a supply-driven market: vendors make what they want, customers buy what's being put on the market.

By your logic Tesla and Apple shouldn't have grown like they did since customers wouldn't pick them over existing incumbents. Customers do have a choice in aggregate and they express that choice. Some people who don't agree with that choice try to say customer's have no choice but in the end they do and the person saying it is upset they're a minority.

Regulation is sometimes necessary to ensure businesses operate in useful ways for the societies they serve. But a specific regulation is only helpful if it constrains undesirable behaviours without causing disproportionate amounts of collateral damage.

Unfortunately governments in general and the EU in particular have a poor track record of making helpful regulations for businesses operating in STEM fields. Not many politicians have a STEM background themselves and not many have much experience of smaller businesses or grass roots volunteer work beyond a quick photo op. A field like software where a single individual can make a disproportionate contribution and where a lot of the FOSS we depend on every day was written at least partially by volunteers is probably quite alien to them.

Until the politicians are better educated the overall state of regulation will continue to be poor. Unfortunately until the small businesses and the FOSS world can speak at the same volume as corporate lobbyists and PR firms with multimillion budgets the politicians will probably continue to be poorly informed. In most places we have nothing like that level of coordination among the smaller players yet.

Be very careful. The DMCA is bad but at least the internet actually functions. We can all hate on it and propose ideas to improve it but most proposed changes (actual proposed law rather than forum posts) in the last few decades have been truly horrific. Most wanted to expand the DMCA's approach to other areas such as DNS.

COICA, PROTECT IP, E-PARACITE, SOPA ... these evil ideas are just waiting to fill the void should anyone reopen the DMCA. And they will probably add language to make all online open for "inspection" by copyright holders, yet another attempt to outlaw proper encryption.
I still have mine from 1991. I wish it showed 24-hour time but other than that it's great.
Sometimes I wish for a SemVer iteration that does away with the major version, and requires a project to create a new library wholesale if they want to increment the major version. Every library would have minor and patch releases, but if they want to substantially change the API, they'll have to create a new library instead and ask people to move to it instead.
What's really surprising is that there are no humans at Walgreens who can call out obviously bullshit customer surveys knowing that they're wrong. The company behaves like a zombie with no one really in control.

ELI5: Matter is a "unified approach to IOT development"

The complete paragraph indicates a different tone:

> But the Scots-Irish impact on American politics is more problematic than Webb would have us believe. The populist politics they pioneered doesn't necessarily produce the sort of values that sustain liberty. Indeed, the democratic impulse toward comfort and safety often undercuts self-reliance and individualism. Webb's book, though well-written and often insightful, is more an exercise in ethnic self-mythologizing than an evenhanded attempt to judge the impact of the Scots-Irish and their culture on America.

My reading of the article is that the author agrees with Webb that "the Scots-Irish impact" on America was large. The point of disagreement is whether that influence was as positive as Webb says, or whether it was "more problematic than Webb would have us believe."
Yes. Yes it is. The Lada's engine compartment isn't choked to death with hundreds of vacuum lines trying to reduce/control emissions...
Somehow people want to end everything even if they don't have a stake in the opposite. Where I live is a quite small nature park in a desert ; it rains here, it's green, it works. But when you say plant trees, they say it doesn't matter unless it's 1000s of km2. It's not. This is much smaller and it looks like a cartoon cloud above this place when it rains as everything around is completely dry. Not sure why people don't just try; they'll see it works, but he.
It also has support for a pnpm-style linker which performs better than node-modules but is much less likely to break libraries.

A complete non-article. Of course that the part on what actually happened is buried right in the middle of the article.

> The case claimed that a Brisbane-based company, Flow Chemical, and its sole director, Vincent Zhen, were “instrumental” to its publication and for keeping it accessible, even though they were not the authors of the defamatory Kiwi Farms thread.

> Because the matter was undefended, an interlocutory judgment was made against Flow Chemical and Zhen in July and Fong-Jones was awarded damages of $445,000 plus costs this week.

The defendant didn’t show up to the court so a default judgement happened. No case law was set here. Nothing has changed, at all.
Windows 10 takes 30 minutes to update. What could it possibly be doing for that long?

We have a contractor who built a system on Azure that I'm about to take over. I was complaining about how slow RDP'ing into the Azure machine that runs Visual Studio and SSMS is. The contractor said it's quite fast for him so I sent him a video of what I see. In that video, you can watch parts the window as they are painted. Same for executing a query in SSMS. Now, this guy is a fantastic engineer but, I had to chuckle a little when he saw the video and replied, "Yeah, that's how fast it is for me too."

After two weeks of fighting with SSIS and RDP speeds, I eventually gave up and rewrote it in Clojure in less than a day.

Modern text editors have higher latency than 42-year-old Emacs.

Visual Studio Code is about the only Microsoft product I have any respect for yet, for the most part, I've gone back to Vim as my daily driver. Even the contractor I mentioned above said he uses it a lot of the time.

The iPhone 4s was released with iOS 5, but can barely run iOS 9.

I have had so much respect for Apple in the past for saying openly, "This release is going to be lacking in features because we're going to try to make things run better." Yet, when was the last time they did such a release for any of their platforms? Given some of the oddities I'm having with Sonoma, I'd say it's time.

Windows 95 was 30MB. Today we have web pages heavier than that!

I spent 2/3 of my career trying to make web applications as good or better than native. I gave up on that about 10 years ago after realizing that a) the webplatform was designed as a document sharing system, not an application platform and, b) as much as I love Javascript, Node and NPM are a dumpster fire. We need to call it a day and do something else. My vote is for something akin to Flutter.

Also, the shear tonnage web application frameworks are a clear sign to me that it is a problem that can't be solved. They all eventually devolve into a bloated mess.

Related: Nobody thinks compiler that works minutes or even hours is a problem.

Am I the only one that thinks compiling dynamic, scripting languages is insane? Jeff Goldblum called. He want's his Jurassic Park quote back.

It just seems that nobody is interested in building quality, fast, efficient, lasting, foundational stuff anymore.

50% of the blame needs to be put on the stakeholders. Too many of them don't understand (and, often, don't want to) and demand the product be delivered cheaply and done yesterday. The current state of software is what attitude that produces.

Better world manifesto

100% agree.
Poorly thus far. I’ve got stats from when I applied for jobs two years ago and it’s a very different picture. Previously: 19 applications and 4 solid offers.

Same number of applications this year. I’ve been ghosted, told my skills and experience don’t match salary expectations or level of seniority, and at times not made it past the initial application due to some short tenures on my CV.

I haven’t used any one specific strategy. I’ve been networking, reworking my CV to better present my experience, and building a small personal website to talk about some projects.

It’s a more competitive market for sure.
> a library to make Javascript testing a little bit easier

Depending on the environment you're working in, it makes testing a lot easier. MSW isn't for everyone, but it can make things a lot more painless.
Thanks, yes!
To this day I insist that American traffic lights are red, orange and green. I know what yellow looks like and that is not yellow, it is orange. As a child, I couldn't understand the concept of calling it yellow despite it emitting orange light. Now, I understand the concept of colloquially referring to things by incorrect names, but I still hate it.
I'd say Rural folk are fine in the grand scheme of damaging the environment thru land use. Tho it is terrible when people own incredibly large swaths of land and then proceed to fence it all off disrupting migration patterns.

The Suburbanites are the real problem. Urban Sprawl.
And of course it isn't the people themselves who are at fault. They have no choice. It's the idiotic way we've developed around cars. This was only ever considered a good idea to begin with because the Auto/Oil industry pushed it thru propaganda and lobbying; and now it's sunken into people brains.
> The proposal in the article is to tax wealth at an annual rate of 2%.

It is already! It's called the Fed's target inflation rate. Currently, everyone's net wealth is getting reduced at over twice that rate.
Not many companies hire CTOs through regular channels, and it’s likely you’ll be seen as overqualified for lower rank jobs.

I think you can basically do 2 things: try to get into contact with executive head hunters or make it very clear on your resume and LinkedIn that despite your tenure as CTO you’re very much open to EM or IC engineering roles.
Not really true - a corporate capital gains tax for instance is generally born by a companies shareholders rather than the companies consumers, so it's clear that some taxes can be directed more towards company shareholders than consumers. Similarly dividend taxes don't really put much upwards pressure on consumer prices.

So the idea of corporation tax is to try and structure a tax which puts pressure on corporate profits on very profitable businesses, rather than putting direct pressure on prices.

I mean it depends who you call a 'consumer' as ultimately someone has to pay, but the idea is to direct that to the richer capital-owners rather than the poorer, and VAT generally hits the poorer.
Thanks for clarifying. I'll have to push him on those questions next time and see how he responds.

He was one of the police officers during the George Floyd protest riots in Portland, so I've got to hear some of it from his perspective and nothing he said struck me as a "red flag" of any sort. Then again I'm not one to "take sides" on any matter either. I don't care what the court of public opinion wants, because it often lacks empathy or putting oneself in the other person's shoes. This tends to make me an outlier in most controversial topics, so maybe my opinion of what makes a "bad cop" will not necessarily match yours or others.

The only problem with using any sort of compression in HTTP is that unless you add extra countermeasures, you open your page up to the BREACH vulnerability:

Unlike the starting point, a regular glass door, which effectively always accurately displays its inventory, a screen layer, by nature, introduces the possibility of inaccurate data, an entirely dark door, etc. Hardware maintenance is no doubt important: having a bunch of inoperative doors, especially in a single location, can lead to customers having negative experiences. The advertising premise is more straightforward - show contextual ads to customers seconds before they make a purchase.
> she won and did a great service to her fellow human beings

She didn't win, they settled out of court. The article definitely does its best to avoid mentioning even a single detail about the case beyond the outcome, and even that it misconstrues.

Dr. Duffy left a bad review for some psychics on the site "RipOff Report" and lied about her friend’s wife committing suicide due to bad advice given by the psychics. A few unsavory posts based on her behaviour ended up being published there as well. The big crime that Google committed was providing the most common autocompletes on search terms like it does for every other search query. In this case, it showed the search term “janice duffy psychic stalker” after typing in "janice duffy".

I don't see how any of this insane story counts as a "great service to her fellow human beings".

I am having difficulty locating the specific case. I see a citation of "United States v. Holloway, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 187752" but Google does not yield a valid result. Does someone have a link to the full legal opinion?
In an internet full of low-effort outrage hot takes, I have to say I love (and miss) this kind of writing style that's polemical but witty and restrained. One of my favorite quotes:

> "Age-old advertising technology would use the context that you are in front of the ice cream door as a trigger to display the ice cream through the door. In the era of the Cooler Screen, though, the ice cream itself is hidden safely out of view while the screen contacts a cloud service to obtain an advertisement that is contextually related to it."
Dude, I am sorry, but almost every example has something wrong.

First of all you are not comparing tailwind css vs semantic css. You are comparing tailwind ui implementation of a page vs your implementation.

You are comparing blog projects with very small amount of components. It's misleading, as good naming is only easy on small amount of components. This same goes for styling based on html element selectors vs classes.

The button example is just shameful. Half of the classes there don't make sense, and you are not showing your css at all.

This is how button would look https://play.tailwindcss.com/FHIFtYbrV8 .

The speed is also misleading. Most of the comparison there is next vs nuejs. In fact, you could probably do that without any js and have even better results.

The thing is that neujs itself sounds pretty good as I really believe progressive enhancement being the way, but comparisons on your site are also misleading.

Like this thing https://nuejs.org/compare/component.html that only says that it doesn't implement this same features further down ( it's not even mentioned on main page )

This is not great. Especially, that you could probably use examples that wouldn't be misleading as react is really bad when it comes to devex and amount of code.
