You're not designing for two (or more) platforms at all. You're designing for one platform. The Web. It's built on some pretty well defined standards that a ton of folks seem hellbent on breaking to force the web into a shape that it simply isn't.

Not that you're incorrect but in addition to withholding documentation, sometimes they just destroy it, too.

" In August 1974, the Joint Chiefs of Staff destroyed all the minutes and transcripts of their meetings going back to 1947, and in 1978 essentially stopped keeping any such records. Only 30 pages of notes have survived, much to the dismay of military historians and scholars of the Cold War."

So, like, we will never get the discussions around, say, them using smallpox against North Korea.

Rotate your device to landscape and it's fine. I guess part of the problem is sites training everyone not to do that. (Quora's expert designers will happily throw content into the void of the iPhone's notch on landscape, inventing a problem that didn't exist in older designs, despite them having been created before the notch ever came out.)

This kind of speaks to how stars on GitHub are kind of a mess themselves. What would be really interesting is if there were some kind of a metric that captured oss-contributor sentiment - projects that were easy to contribute to, with healthy ecosystems, would have higher scores, and projects where your PRs sit forever half-reviewed, or unmerged, get lower scores.

I wonder if they're strictly emulating just the digital bits of the original hardware.

I mean, the reason we have so many different VSTs for the same devices is that emulating the digital components is the "easy", so to speak, part, while the truly complex and really differentiating part is the software modeling of the analog components - which also explains the difference in price between a free VST replica of the Yamaha DX7 and the circa 199€ Native Instruments and Arturia replicas.
Danny o'brien, he runs one of the oldest surviving blogs, oblomovka, coined a term "hinternet" sometime in 2007, that was when the internet was still being run by the technological elite, for themselves, but normal people have also joined. The idea of hinternet was that there was essentially two internets. One is the sophisticated technology and a value add, and the other one is the internet of the viagra pills and popup banners. We, the technology elite, would rarely venture into the hinternet, like going into a bad neighborhood, where's normal people had no such mechanism for discernment, so their experience of the internet was distinctly different and inferior.

Now most of the internet is hinternet, and we're all forced more and more to rely on it. Banking systems, mortgage platforms, car payments, utilities payments are generally designed mobile first, desktop later, they employ various dark techniques for "verifying real user", which break on open platforms, forcing you to access them from iPads and other such locked down devices, or not at all. If hinternet used to be the dark shady streets where hucksters were peddling you knockoff watches, then now hinternet is the dystopian landscape of vertical information integration, ran, behind the scenes, by para-governmental institutions. You can't log in into irs without using id.me, a digital wallet and identity management platform, that sells you things.

There are attempts to cultivate little gardens of sophistication, but they are of mixed success. On a personal level there's a strong disincentive to participate in the hinternet beyond the mandatory, carefully navigating poorly designed and conceived systems just long enough to achieve an objective. One has to login into irs, but one doesn't really need to read that popup and upsell blocked, mobile centric news article.

From this perspective "mobile-first web design" is a symptom removed from its greater context.

Yup, there are so many parking lots on absolute prime land in socal. Land that would turnover and rent out an entire 5 story apartment on top of it overnight, based on what neighboring plots have done.

Right, who wants or benefits from open source firmware anyway.

Also there are many situations where renting, for example a flat makes a lot of sense. And there are many situations where the financials and or enabled options of owning something make a lot of sense. Right now, the kind of experience you get with AWS and co. can only be rented, not bought. Some people want to buy houses instead of renting them.
quoting myself:

> you could hardly get a symmetrical 10 gbps internet connection at home (in most places), and if you do it would be unlikely to be timely (and in that case, your business could probably be suffering).

if your startup takes off and you can't get a professional connection on time... it might just drive users away. particularly paying users.

and depending on where you are, that might not even be possible at all.
> It's not a question of "when they work". I demand that it works, just as I demand that unit testing works, so I make it work.

Sure, if you can. And I use such checkers too.

But for a lot of people, the false positive false negative rates are still high.

That's why tests can be better: there's no false positive or false negative.

This is unfortunately completely naive. Of course model checkers miss things.

India on the Heels of USA in Defense Manufacturing – Could It Outpace by 2030?
Right now, the world is seeing two big wars: one is happening between Russia and Ukraine, and the other is between Israel and militant groups of Hamas and Hezbollah.

In the middle of all this, startups and companies are innovating and building next generation weapons and defense systems.

Of all the Defense and Space manufacturing companies across the world, 117 of them grew in headcount over the last 1 year.

About 60% of the growing companies in Defense and Space industry are based in USA. Followed by India at 10%.
Chronic stone former here, requiring surgical intervention a few times a year.

It definitely can be sudden and debilitating but for most of my teenage years I had mistaken the pain for ‘sleeping wrong’. Sometimes when I would bend over and then stand it would feel like someone had stapled my back together at the bend and I had to rip it out. It hurt, but not anything like what I expected. A couple of years later I wound up having a few stones that had grown to larger than an inch.

If you have unusual and unexpected pain it’s definitely worth getting checked out. I didn’t have health insurance at the time and since the pain was intermittent I never suspected anything serious and just chalked it up to sleeping in a poor posture or maybe not getting enough exercise to be limber. It almost killed me!
As a primarily frontend-developer, I can attest to this sentiment. I should add that most backend devs I know understand the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript, but they're less interested in learning new framework/library/template system constantly. I have to admit, I share that attitude.

It's funny how webcomponents alone are touted as an "alternative" to a framework, despite only being one component (no pun intended) of something that solves the problem of UI state-synchronization on the browser. A better comparison would be comparing a combination of custom elements, server-side rendered HTML, and proxy objects to some SSR framework like NextJS, Remix, etc.
Were you the recipient of a program like this? If not in what way are living out a case study?
That's an interesting juxtaposition to Microsoft's move to "cloud computer" which is a thin client with everything (including the OS) streaming from the cloud.

Or maybe it'll be a curious unintended match instead, with whatever "streaming" devices Microsoft pushes next being connected to one's own "cloud computer" instead...

You're looking at it from a single transaction cost-benefit perspective but that's not how it works societally. If everyone in the society knew that cops will be in their front door steps with a warrant every time a phone or a laptop was stolen, they're not going to be stealing them from the get-go.

So to translate, there may be a high up front cost but the return on invest will outweigh in the long run (for higher value products, admittedly). Even if that's not the case, you're not valuing the societal cost at all!

I don't think it is an issue of "scientific" versus "unscientific"

It's really an issue that many UX designers don't know how browser rendering works, so they design static pages as if they were printing in a magazine.

Pixel perfect mocks are terrible for designing responsive UIs. Trying to build pixel perfect pages in a browser is impossible. Somehow these designers get through school with zero understanding that designing for web is different from designing for print.

Show HN: Engine-agents – API-friendly TypeScript port of Microsoft's Autogen
I thought it would be useful to have a more API-friendly version of Microsoft's Autogen at work, so I ported it to TypeScript with some slightly different design choices.

There's a way to go yet with reliability and safety of code execution to match that of Autogen but hopefully we'll get somewhere near parity soon! Keen to get any and all feedback - contributions and suggestions are very welcome.

It wasn’t “fast spending”, it was spending on necessities, but the necessities cost 60-70% more. It’s not like people have more money to spend, most of this is borrowed spending that people are forced into. Cc debt chart I bet is skyrocketing. And household savings are probably declining at a fast pace.
Also less cursing please! Every streamed original or movie seems to be in some kind of competition for f-bombs and comes across as so forced and unnecessary.
Agreed. I had the pleasure to work with talented specialist UX designers early in my careers, and their designs were really fantastic. They also worked really closely with the developers, both to understand the medium they were designing for and as a first line of feedback before things got to real users/clients.

Unfortunately some of the designers I've worked with more recently were primarily graphic designers without a UX background, and actually became an impediment to good design because they were given authority over it despite not really know what they were doing.

I think it's probably an unfortunate consequence of there being more demand for UX designers then there are good UX designers, and simultaneously being a lack of jobs available for graphic designers. And a lot of hiring companies not really understanding what makes a good UX designer.

Its a tradeoff, they both specialize for slightly different situations. Sanitizers have intricate knowledge of what is undefined behavior at a source level. For example signed integer overflow, etc. Some of these are simply not possible to determine at runtime, as a valid C program is allowed to generate the same machine code as one containing UB.

Valgrind, on the other hand, cares purely about the machine code (with a few exceptions like malloc, free, etc.). It can peek into your libraries even if they aren't compiled with sanitizer flags. It is especially good for finding uninitialized memory usage - IIRC it can track this data even on the level of individual bits in a register.

I really appreciate the vision and the technology (also the dedication to opensource).

The difficulty is that HP/Dell/NetApp/etc are well established and maybe if you're a SME you can appreciate the benefits of an end to end integrated solution but most of the people making purchasing decisions largely don't. It's easy to market on CapEx but difficult to market on OpEx - you're asking customers to (likely) pay more for a similar performance invariably less featureful solution from a small company which they're then locked into largely leaning on the promise it'll be easier to operate (where is your GPU integration, object storage, shared filesystem, integrated kubernetes, etc). They then have to convince all the incumbent software vendors to support their software (e.g SAP/oracle/etc) on this specialized hardware.

Nah, I've only focused on super-heavy class in my napkin designs.

I'm just facetiously pointing out that Starship hasn't launched yet. There could be major flaws. Someone else might have a better design brewing but with little to show for it. The irony is that Starship's design looks a lot more like the sci-fi futurism of the 50s - we're returning to it after testing out shuttle-style reusable vehicles.
You sure about that? Google's been one of the better companies when it comes to free and open source work. Their phones are significantly more free than their competition. It's ironic, they sell the easiest phones to install custom operating systems on. They even put in work into open firmware for their chromebook laptops. It's certainly something I've come to appreciate about them, despite their surveillance capitalism.

many US citizens are aware of that

they're also aware that American Exceptionalism relies on comparing America to the most poorly run and suffocatingly authoritarian countries on the planet, and ignoring that the developed world exists at all

people are aware that the US is a great starting point to go to those other developed nations. Getting a job in the US and moving to somewhere in Western Europe is a great privilege, greater than being born somewhere else and going straight to Western Europe, greater than being born in Western Europe without inheritance

people are aware that the US could uniquely solve all of its own problems, and have all of the 21st century advances of the developed world, but it simply doesn't solve those problems and lacks consensus
