It's not the bookmarklets that OP is warning about, it's the risk that the GreaseMonkey extension itself becomes compromised. Basically, it's good browser hygiene to keep the number of extensions you have installed to an absolute minimum.

A bookmarklet alone isn't so much a concern, both because it doesn't run automatically on all pages (only when clicked) and because, as you note, you can usually pretty easily audit what you add and you don't get automatic updates.
When looking for early users for a new product, it’s usually better to reach out directly to people one at a time or post in small communities like niche subreddits rather than trying to do a big launch on HN or ProductHunt with the hope of getting a lot of users all at once.

Ditto for more “scalable” marketing like ads or PR. It’s (usually) best to save those until after you have a core group of happy engaged users that you cultivated by hand.

There are exceptions where people do the big launch or large-scale marketing right away and it works, but the risk of failure with that strategy is high.
> about a woman trying to empower women

Only if you're in that middle-class, ultra-consumerist "girl-boss" demographic that the movie is marketed/trying to appeal to. That message is largely lost at the margins, as is typical in "pretty, white feminism". You're ignoring the elephant in the room -- any empowerment message takes a back seat to the goals of selling tickets and "buy our shit".

Why is requiring their permission a good thing to start with?
I meant not trying to downplay your idea.
Well, yea.

All pointless frameworking is based on the fact that HTML doesn’t natively nest in other HTML or natively color in JavaScript editors. So we have ridiculous bloat, when that was all we had to fix: the ability to put HTML in JavaScript in a satisfyingly official way.

Instead, we have everything in fragments that have to be mechanically transformed, and fight over which giant IDE is best.
Ah, someone who doesn't understand how this stuff works and is just unnecessarily mad. People posted that stuff on the internet, it's not retaining their property it's learning the nuances of it. So it's effectively me looking through someone's gallery then attempting to create something like their art. No, it doesn't create "perfect recreations" or "perfect stylized things of theirs" because the outputs frequently are only stylistically similar. I'm sure you could get something that looks like one of their original pieces out with some effort prompting and conditioning the output but haven't people been copying artwork for millenia? It's definitely not a new phenomenon and preventing people from using generative art isn't going to stop it.

Think Alex Grey vs Cameron Gray. Both amazing artists but looking at Cameron's work he clearly is inspired by Alex. Did he steal that? Does he deserve to be shutdown? Maybe he asked permission but is Alex Grey financially burdened by Cameron's existence?

Artists are just mad something can do cool stuff that allows people who haven't spent a decade practicing something to create what their minds imagine.
Hey, I like the low price. I want to make a SaaS with a low price but sadly with something like Stripe for example at 1.50 per month 23% of your revenue goes directly in merchant fees. Braintree is the same.

Do you use another provider or do you just accept the fact that it's gonna be one of your main costs ?
> Does the FAA have worldwide jurisdiction over launches by/for USA companies?

Yes it does. Per https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/commercial-space-transportation... "An FAA license is required for any launch or reentry, or the operation of any launch or reentry site, by U.S. citizens anywhere in the world, or by any individual or entity within the U.S. "

To use gravity, you only have two options:

1. Knock things down that are already high up and hope they break at the bottom. Or,

2. Haul things up and then knock them down.

#1 only works in an extremely limited number of cases and gets exhausted quickly. #2 spends more energy hauling up than it gains.
Tools have their defined use cases. If you use the same tool in all cases, you’re probably misusing it.

Author here — yes, this is exactly correct (and thank you for the kind words). I think the maintenance cost of dependencies is important to consider, and with web components we have a "native" solution for encapsulating HTML, CSS and JS. That doesn't mean that every project needs to have that as its top priority! Sometimes development velocity/shared patterns/ease of finding other developers is more important, and that's perfectly fine.

It isn't completely out of the question, Rocketlab has a launch site in New Zealand for instance. But, it does involve a lot of red tape, making it more expensive and less easy to move fast with. Probably also comes with a pretty limited list of options of significant US allies in stable regions (a large number of which likely aren't meaningfully cheaper/less regulated).
> "no conda package available" has never stopped them.

Yes and no. They won't stop because they want to get things done, and the things usually don't involve honing the infrastructure. But installing packages with pip usually breaks conda installation, not even a particular virtual environment. (Usually pip nukes the setuptools that come with conda, and then once you want to install / upgrade anything in base environment, you discover that it's toast because conda itself depends on setuptools, but it's now broken and cannot be reinstalled).

So, in practice, if you give up and use pip to install stuff, it means that for the next project you will be reinstalling conda (and you will probably lose all your previous virtual environments). Kinda sucks.
> With web components it's the wild west, and since you can't pass complex objects as attributes like you can in jsx, you end up doing a mix of attributes, events, and calling class functions directly.

Or you just write a 'value' getter and setter and be done with it. I write most of my web components to operate like a form component. Forms have state. Forms have mechanisms for gathering state from all components and saving them into a single object. Forms have a means of restoring all that state.

You _barely_ need a layer of abstraction to handle all this. I've honestly never understood the "state management problem" or why anyone would think a framework is the way to solve it.

IPPROTO_MPTCP (262) is too big to fit into the byte that's reserved for the protocol number. I'm not sure what the reason is Linux has this protocol number, I'm guessing it's so that user mode sockets can easily request MPTCP sockets?

Regret not being better about my health (especially teeth). It's a lot harder now, and my teeth can't go back to where they were (some are missing, some have bridges or root canals).

Regret not prioritizing investing more, especially into a 401k (worked a lot of small jobs and startups that didn't offer them, and didn't do a whole lot on my own). Doing a much better job now, but I probably should have at least 300-400k more in a 401k than I do, for my age and profession (software engineer).

Regret not having kids then (still don't have kids, might be a couple of years still before my partner feels ready). It wasn't too much of a focus then but now I'm starting to feel a little too old yet still really want to have them.

Regret not jumping on more opportunities that I had back then. I have a bad habit of letting things slip until enough time passes that it's embarrassing to follow up on them (did it again for another possible opportunity earlier this year, trying to get myself to reach out but I've let several months pass and I really shouldn't have).

Regret not traveling overseas at all. Now it's so expensive and requires a lot of juggling of PTO, my partner's PTO, making sure the dogs are taken care of, etc. Most we can usually manage are weeklong trips, and that's not really worth it to go overseas. Hopefully someday.

But whatever. I'd be a different person today if I did all that, and no guarantee I'd be better or happier. Probably some other things I'd be regretting instead, and still feeling about the same I imagine.
> Every language ends up having to deal with either hardware or system libraries

There's a big difference between using a C library which does extra processing + maybe uses some syscalls and doing the syscalls directly. The interface is much stricter for the system interface and the memory ownership is better defined. You don't have to think about the library using a different allocator than the app does.

So no, I wouldn't say every language needs to do that. Golang definitely didn't https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36435
This is what I like to do, but I lose things in my notes sometimes.
The hope (and IMHO only reason) for geo-engineering approaches is that they can enable achieving a large effect with a much smaller political sacrifice than cutting people's consumption or preventing some countries from increasing their consumption to "first-world" levels, and at a smaller cost than that.

If someone finds a plausible way to reduce a major part of global greenhouse gases that costs merely, say, 10 or 100 billion, then that's something that a few major countries can do (and fund) unilaterally and doesn't need global consensus, unlike major emissions reductions which have the tragedy of commons problem where if you do that and other major emitters don't, then you've crippled your economy but haven't prevented any of the bad consequences.

1) Fuel spills happen as a regular part of working with fuels (leaking pipes, loose fittings, safety purges, general clumsiness, etc) not just rocket explosions.

2) Even if a rocket explodes in the air it is unlikely all of its propellant will completely burn up (fuels aren't mixed, the ratios are optimized for a specific combustion conditions, and there are multiple tanks, etc), and there are many failure modes besides "massive explosion"

3) Just because the main component of a fuel will boil off eventually doesn't mean chemicals added to the propellant or produced in side reactions will

4) Hypergolic just means chemicals spontaneously combust on contact with one another; it has nothing to do with environmental risk.
The delay is simply an issue of perverse incentives.

I have been toying with the idea of experimenting with Swift under Linux myself for a while now. I guess this puts that idea to rest.

I'm not even talking about the illegal instruction thing or the capricious looking syntax changes. Just the fact that his hello world app caused 350MB of build artifacts in the filesystem, and the five minute build time for the project, are enough to turn me off of Swift.

I come from the good old Turbo Pascal under MS-DOS days. Building even complex applications took mere seconds on an 16 Mhz 80286 with 1 MB (yes, one megabyte) of RAM. I see no excuse for binaries to be big. This is turning me off of Go and Rust, too.

Gotta admire the cojones on those people to call their product "Swift".

I come from a time where the whole application fit into 512 KB RAM. It had to. And it was good that way, because the human brain can't grog that much context at the same time. Nowadays people are pulling in javascript frameworks larger than the whole payroll system of those old days without even a second thought.

I regret not getting a therapist earlier. It helped me a lot. I enjoy so many things right now, my life is fuller.

I went to therapy because my mother passed away and I had depression. She was everything to me. Luckily my wife supported me so much in my those dark years. It took me around 4 years to realize I needed help.

It took me an year of therapy to start seeing the light again, and since then my therapist has been helping me in so many ways.

I'm now more mature, can handle with really difficult situations and became more lighthearted and finally happy and satisfied with my life. If I only had one therapist in my teens...

What is the point of the dedicated vulnerability marketing websites? Like, for real, why do people buy a domain, configure dns, design a full webpage, setup some server somewhere?

Is there some secret world I don't know about that's driven by how banger your vulnerability disclosure presentation is? Every one anymore has a full site. Is this what it takes to get attention these days? Everything, including computer bugs, needs a marketing campaign? Every time I see these sites I roll my fucking eyes at how ridiculous it is that people keep making them, but it seems to only be increasing in occurances.

The question is how hard is to pick good control communities. During the pandemic I've read a lot of preprints about cures for covid-19 (like Ivermectin) and many of them used a similar aproach.

People generally dont know it, but the facts/debate around the sophistication of populations thousands of years ago, and how those vary across geographies, is extremely political.

I was following jellyfin closely since the day that it forked off from emby. I was active in the reddit community and was in the loop on everything that was happening there. then they decided to shut down the subreddit and it might has well have disappeared from existence over night. this is probably the first time i've even seen it mentioned on the internet since. i also can't be the only one who has had this experience.

you can see how well that has worked out for them since a few weeks ago they made a post crying about how their developer mindshare has been dwindling as of late.

(you will also notice that almost all of the mods who shut it down still have active reddit accounts, so clearly they don't care that much about boycotting reddit)
