Technically, US police solve less than half of all violent crime and less than 25% percent of all property crime.

So more like “gotta catch a few of ‘em”.
Neither did it not happen, it is only postponed and not shut down. These things will keep coming back until there are real consequences for tin-pot dictators pushing despotic legislation (and no, I'm not advocating for violence, I want them to be forced to publicly resign their post).

This is a great review, sounds like its better than the book to be honest.
I find it interesting that the author's premise seems motivated by a self-inflicted churn. Having migrated a simple blog across a dozen of technologies, their conclusion is that <basic building blocks> will outlast any trend?

Surely, yes. But I'd like to observe that a blog like this, one of the simplest web-based entities, could have remained implemented in some of the decades-old technologies and delivered the same experience to the end user.
It's unfortunate how any discussion around Google/Apple/Meta in particular just devolves to the same repeated talking points :(

Well, your team isn't anywhere near the Windows or Edge team, is it?
There is a smaller number of exploiters than people who are loyal. Loyalty comes naturally to people because being loyal to your tribe was evolutionarily beneficial.

Whereas continuously exploiting others requires a mental illness such as narcissism. Perhaps by focusing on the exploiters we can reduce the damage they do to others.
I use Logseq for this.

Every task or conversation gets a todo. “Meet with bob about x”
“Work on pdf forms” etc.

Those that I’m doing get set to “doing” which helps keep me on task. When I’m done with a task it’s marked “done” and I get the elapsed time that it took.

Anything not done gets cut and pasted to the next day.

When it’s time to meet with my manager I have what happened on what day very neatly laid out and I simply scroll down.

I mean, the fact that they had to use Chromium as the underlying framework for a browser, considering how much resources MS has... feels like a monumental failure at being able to make a decent browser.
Great project! These features come to mind that would be great additions:

1. Ability to filter response properties.

2. Ability to work with non-JSON (web scraping) by defining a mapping of CSS selectors to response properties.

3. Cross-reference host names of captured requests with publicly documented APIs.

4. If auth headers are found, prompt user for credentials that can then be stored locally.

5. "Repeater" similarly found in Burp Suite.

6. Generate clients on the fly based on the generated OpenAPI spec.

Well they were net positive before COVID.

Then the fares crashed and needed bailing out by the central government who don't like public transport or the London mayor. The government are now much more car boosting than they were so anything that decreases the voters' perceived need to use cars or restricts their use is cut back.
10 years ago, maps worked great on Firefox, I'd be genuinely surprised if they didn't test it there.

I genuinely think they're doing anti-optimization for firefox users at this point.

Edit: Did some google employee see this and turn a "maps on firefox load speed" knob?

I decided to test again on a private window vs my typical plugin laden setup and it seems to be performing far faster than it has in years. wtf.
The goal of relief efforts is to get food and especially water in as quickly as possible. Three days without fresh water and you’re already dealing with pathogens.

We take for granted that cargo planes and ships can skirt a tropical storm and sneak in while the trees are still dripping. A dirigible is a fair weather friend. It cannot arrive until relief efforts are well underway. That doesn’t make them useless, but it also doesn’t make them useful.

It's probably due to the other things in the bundle. icloud+ (so just the storage) seems to have kept the same prices since 2018, and the 50GB and 200GB tier haven't changed price since 2016. Both the change in 2016 and 2018 were price drops.

I don't know why the price never dropped after 2018, but at least the highest icloud+ tier it's in line with what other providers charge for cloud storage. It just doesn't get that much cheaper than $5/TB.

> It can be improved but mostly that just means commuter rail which still requires using a car for everything other than commuting, and usually people drive to the commuter rail station anyway.

Fun fact / example: My hometown started as a logging town next to train tracks, but grew outwards in one direction, so the train is now off towards the edge of town and it would take most residents around an hour to walk there. Just about everyone who takes the train drives there and uses its parking lot.
As in...serfs? They also starved to death and got conscripted into wars. They also probably had to work their lord's land before they got to their own, if there was time. Their lives were often terrible.

They also just did more. They didn't work to earn money to employ someone to work on their house; they went home and worked on their house. That might look to a simple observer as them working less, but I doubt the serf would see it that way.
> a problem that a public transport system cannot and should not solve.

Then people will continue to drive, no matter how much you whine about it. If you can't make city buses safe and clean, then people won't use them.

> Seems you think you're rich enough to put a wall around yourself and never see these problems.

In fact, owning and using a car is an effective way to avoid the filthy of city buses. You seem to think this is a mistaken belief, but you're simply wrong. You will never persuade Americans to give up their cars and use buses instead unless you acknowledge the problem of filth and fix it. You can't gas light people into thinking the filth is fine or their cars aren't an option. Denying the problem and trying to shame people who acknowledge it will never get you to the state you want society to be in.

Aaaah yes, middle management. The successes are always of their own making, but the failures are always blamed on the devs. Shit rolls downhill. The worst is the situation when there's no buffer between IT and Business (ideally a person well aware of the constraints and requirements of both) and the person you report to is a "bizbro".

I once had such a manager, who managed our small dev team, but he was not a coder, he didn't have any IT background, he was a dude with business background... and the depth of which he was able to understand the business logic of our systems was on the "typical user" level (i.e. he used the systems, but had no idea what amount of work would additions and changes in these systems require). This person reported directly to our CEO. So of course we would spend obscene amounts of time on trash features which were complex to incorporate into the existing structures and most of which provided questionable business value in the end (i.e. a feature took 6 "man months" to develop and integrate, but its added monetary value to the business was probably similar or lower than that). Because of these bs jobs coming from the top, we were swamped with questionable work and our core systems and features stagnated. At the same time, hiring more people - adding to the IT team - was out of the question because we were already "so expensive". And so this person came up with a genius idea of offloading one of our core systems to an external entity (so we have more time to spend on his questionable tasks). I mean, fair enough if you do that while being well aware of all the business logic and make a calculated decision, but this person (and I don't want to be too specific here) basically went behind our backs, told the ceo something along the lines of "hey, we're gonna offload system X to entity Y for Z amount of money, so our IT has more time for other important stuff" and then, once everything was a done deal, came to us that we're going to integrate Y. Long story short, we spent about 2 years (on/off) on replacing our X to work with Y, tightly integrating it with Y's api (and that company in general), having around a dozen of 2-5 hour meetings, Y updating their system like 10 times so it even does what our system X did 5 years ago and spent a crap ton of money on all of this (easily more than new hires would cost). Why would it take two years, why wouldn't we cut our losses? Because sunk cost fallacy and because the manager couldn't admit fault to the ceo. We were going to do this because it was his idea.
It's not just Google Maps. It's any webapp from Google. Youtube and Gmail run very poorly in Firefox compared to Chromium browsers. I don't use Google docs, but I'm willing to bet it has the same issues.

According to https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/js-jquery:

> jQuery is used by 94.5% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. This is 77.5% of all websites.

This appears to be current data too (Oct 2023). I'm not sure how reliable the data is, but it is congruent with my experience that _a lot_ of websites still use jQuery. It's easy to forget the HN crowd is also in a bubble. If you only read articles here, you'd think everyone is using the latest JS framework du jour, but lots of the web still runs on PHP and jQuery.
"fantastic" is always going to depend on context -- you could also say $250k/yr is 80x the median global income. In this case, I'm sure the owner could easily make a FAANG income if he so desired, which is why I used it as a comparison point.
I would pick a word or name, and for each letter of the given word you create a sentences beginning with each letter. It doesn't need to make sense, you just need to make it easy to remember.
Bonus point by adding a number (like a year date related to the word/name) and by separating each word with a special character.

Think about atmospheric pressure, it is 14.7 PSI at the ground so your envelope has to be extremely strong to hold that pressure differential if you want to use vacuum instead of filling it with a lighter gas. Helium is only 0.1786 g/L at STP. So unless you're saving more weight than that over your entire envelope it's better to just fill it with a gas and have a significantly lighter lifting envelope.

There are so many downsides of choosing web components you really need a very rare usecase to justify them. They are an artefact of a time we're all glad to be done with, they force you into OOP so you're doing inheritance acrobatics, add TS and now you're feeding two hierarchies of inheritance that don't quite match and bloat to a 80% of your codebase, making it unreadable, prone to hacks and bugs, impossible to maintain etc.
The point of web components was to make components more shareable between frameworks, and code more reusable, but now code written in any of the major FE frameworks is more reusable (a component looks pretty much the same in React, Vue, Svelte, but not with web components).
I've heard btrfs raid5/6 is/was pretty bad, but for one drive, it's been solid.
> Finally, the last thing I would suggest is that writing an entire app in vanilla web components is kind of crazy talk in my opinion. For 5kb you can have a super nice developer experience using Lit (https://lit.dev)

I 100% agree with this. For me it was more of a question of "can I do it", and that was something I wanted to find out. You notice that I ended up having to recreate a significant chunk of lit-like functionality on my own via a base class: https://github.com/jjcm/nonio-frontend/blob/master/component...

I would very much recommend not going full vanilla. Using a library like lit will definitely help making things easier/more polished, and will integrate better with existing tooling.

I have thought of doing projects with server side swift but only because I know Swift so well. It does seem like the worst thing to do is to try and learn Swift in the non-golden case of being within MacOS.

But ultimately this does seem to be standard issues you might see working with swift and lacking inference but the dev didn't know much about Swift to work his way out of it.

I do agree that the way Package.swift works and how it relates to your imports is really confusing. Not to mention how the name in the Package.swift relates to the package names your importing (they don't, they relate to the repo or directory instead of the Package names in the repo's Package.swift).

It seems like the dev just kind of randomly plugged away and they weren't really willing to learn anything and is holding everything at arm's length.
My problem with web components is the jitter they introduce when rendering the page. Sure, you can hide this or fade it with CSS, but it's kind of a dealbreaker for me. Maybe someone can suggest a better workaround? For instance, on the submitted page, I see a jitter for the pixelart-demo component.

“…lidar systems to track the gas levels within”

How does this work?
For discrete Voronoi, just render cones from the vertices, using OpenGL/WebGL. Encode the vertex ID in the color. The z-buffer does all the work. Read back the framebuffer.

Just ignore Big O analysis. I guarantee any kind of GPU will blow all CPU algorithms out of the water. This has been known for at least 30 years - I believe there was an SGI demo of it back in the day.

OpenGL can also do edge detection image processing (Laplacian convolution) and give you the line boundaries, if that's what you need. Perhaps a jittered double-rendering can give the same result.

If the resolution is not enough, just multiply the canvas size - x2, x4 ... it will still be faster.

How much cargo, do you think, can this thing carry?

A hint: The 1914 M-class Zeppelin (158 metre) had about 9 metric tons of useful load.

A small "Handysize" (around 150 metre) cargo ship can carry around 40,000 metric tons.

A 747 cargo plane (76 metre) has about 100 tons of useful load, and will be there faster.

Article title is a bit misleading. They were discussing the game but they weren't both playing, and they didn't "ignore robbery to play pokemon go". There was clearly a history between the officer(s) and the person requesting backup which led to them deciding to ignore the call.

That said, it certainly doesn't help their case that they were playing a game instead of working.

Plus, where's the limit in Windows? If they get away with this for Edge and it works, why not do the same for Dropbox vs OneDrive? Or how about getting Edge to nag you about Office when you go to Google Docs? Google could do the same with Chrome when you visit office.com.

There must be a point where having these massive companies delivering features that are objectively bad for users that are trapped in the ecosystem needs to be recognized as something that requires antitrust enforcement.

I also like reducing dependencies, but I’ve picked a different approach.

When I use an external library, I link to static production scripts, without webpack or other bundler. I do use babel to handle jsx if needed, but I do it by linking babel via a script tag in dev mode (and with a simple shell script in production).

It’s more radical, not recommended for production use and impractical for anything other than a hobby project. But it’s a way to limit adding new dependencies, or limit reliance on package managers. Additionally, the project can work with as much as a static file server, also for development - so I won’t get stuck on an “npm update” when I return to a project after a break.

Most recent website I’ve built like this is: https://merely.xyz/lenses , list of Sony E Mount FF lenses.

Again, for most cases web components sound like a more practical approach, I plan to explore that long term too.

Look, maybe I'm just giving them credit because this is filtered through journalism, but isn't that the point of the control communities? You can subtract out this bias using the control community. It's all down to picking comparable controls, obviously. If I had to point to a place you could screw up it would be picking the wrong control communities. Ideally you'd probably pair communities and then assign them at random to get the vaccines or not.

I'm not objecting to the idea that there could be confounders, just that it's probably not sampling bias along the lines of "richer and healthier children probably got the vaccine." If all you're saying is, "it's not an RCT" then... yeah, it's not?

What’s wrong with that cockpit?
If you think about why Google was doing Google Fiber, it was to increase users' bandwidth, not really to take over home internet service. Their announcement of city selection resulted in incumbents in those selected areas doing rollouts even before Google could get site selection done. At that point, the mission was accomplished, and Google didn't need to do anything.

But, they can't really do that trick a second time, so everybody else is slowly waiting for the existing lines in the ground / on the poles to deteriorate to the point where incumbents have to rollout new stuff.
Perhaps we can discuss how this might be avoided, particularly, what can be done by citizens now, while keeping as off topic any discussion of the politics.

Engagement across ideologies seems to be part of the solution but when, where and how does this happen?

Operating at scale is hard.

However the internet doesn't require people to "operate at scale". That's the beauty. It's a mash of different (relatively) small autonomous systems, with many hosts. If any host goes down, or any network goes down, the system ignores it, or reroutes it.
