The thing about Mars specifically (compared to the Moon) is that it represents a much larger commitment. Long term human presence on Mars isn’t something that’s as whim-friendly as the Moon is: you either plan for being there long term (including some level of self-sufficiency) or you don’t go. At the same time, it’s a goal that is probably within closer grasp than building freely-moving, permanently spaceborne crafts that are large and advanced enough for continuous, long-term human inhabitation.

With that in mind, many view human settlement of Mars as something as an insurance policy against decades-long periods of stagnancy like we saw from the late 70s up through the 2010s. It’ll apply strong pressure on the parties involved to continue to improve the technologies involved in getting out there and back and living there in ways that a human presence on the Moon won’t (you can’t get away with a lightly modernized rehash of the Apollo missions; that’s not good enough).

I suspect this is a 'List of tips' written explicitly to promote hyperscript.

Its example is also pretty weak. Vanilla solutions (Tip 1) works just as well:

<div id="output"></div>
</div>
Not at all. There are a lot of frameworks that support static exports and/or pre-rendering. Often those produce incredibly fast results, in many cases faster than hand rolled solutions.

If you use a CMS you have already a templating situation and dynamic content, using a framework, or jamstack like situation is not that different, depending on the specifics it might produce faster results.
I agree; this was a complete deal breaker for me. I had no choice but to ditch Nvidia as a result. It's been really great since then. Especially not having to deal with their shenanigans when I want to do something simple like update my kernel.
Too simple of a model. If you used non industrial agriculture it would be mostly correct but industrial agriculture and fertilizer use consumes vast amounts of petroleum products so that’s where the issue lies
Your comment is the best and most realistic one on this thread.

There's so many people on this website sitting behind Chinese made computers spitting bullshit on "well if we could just get those container ships to pull some solar panels to then grow corn onboard and create a micro climate and process ethanol for said ship, then this whole process would be negligible and carbon neutral and not matter." Give me a fucking break. The world economy is based on exploitation and consumption. There is no "carbon neutral" consumption. There is no getting rich on a USA 1800s type agrarian low human footprint economy.

Like your correct comment indicates, the fact is the global economy is logistically insanely complex, politically complex, and mostly exists for pure consumption and waste. The Greta's are making "moral" arguments and brain washing the first world in order to ship production of "dirty" industries to china, LATAM, and Russia. They are wall streets biggest lobbyists!
Bokeh requires a lot more typing to do the same thing. Also, for interactive work, I often want the GUI, not a webpage with the plot on it.

Thank god I'm not the only one to know the truth. My experience is similar to yours and I agree on everything.

I started using Macs with Mac OS 9.2 but now I want out. The pricing is absurd and there is no way to circumvent that since no upgrade possible.

I don't care much about battery life/power consumption and the actual use case is overblown, if you get one of the powerful chips and push it, you are looking at 30-50W power consumption; so even with a 100kWh battery, we are talking 2-3H at best.

In other words, if you want to game, compute, encode, render, or whatever high performance task you are still going to need a cord anyway.
The rest of low power task is actually done very nicely on much cheaper devices that have more than enough battery life (from cheap tablets, including iPads to Chromebooks).

Also macOS currently has a software problem in my opinion and Apple stupidly push for subscription out of greed. If I have to subscribe for my computing needs I might as well get the cheaper devices and use software that can run anywhere, including sub 500$ potato.

Apple has made a terrible mistake strategically; you can't have your cake and eat it too.
If they want to sell expensive, limited hardware they need to have cheap non-subscription software that is best in class in enough categories. If their hardware is only useful to run competitors' software and subscription stuff they have to be competitive on the hardware price...

Don't you just need to mount the UART device file to the container using a `-v` volume flag? That doesn't seem like a big deal if your container saves you from doing the PITA setup part.
I also found it odd, but these were people who dropped out of engineering degrees to pursue electrician certification and to also get trained in new, green technologies. They spent so much time on one company's green technology, that they could not cut it as electricians. They literally could not wire an electrical panel in a new home. They ended up getting screwed.

Only green technology can make an electrician unemployable.

I was under the impression that the UK had a really old fashioned and clunky consumer bank sector. But that is just hearsay, so I might be wrong.

The closest I've every been to a British bank, was getting a Curve credit card, where they wanted a picture of me and my passport. Which imo. Was hilarious and must be way to easy to forge.
So what you're coming down to is that we can't target literally all parents but we can intimidate one person/corporation in tech.

Personally my goal isn't to solve the entire problem. Because humans have a great talent of breaking even the most secure solutions. And on the internet that simply means "don't go to secure website, lure children to seedy website". So the problem occurs again and it's harder or impossible to target the seedy website (you know, unless parents properly parent. You know, the unproductive solution I keep bringing up). It may be more holistically safe but on a micro level that parent still has to suffer and that child is still traumatized. But you exhausted your easy target to sue.

In some views, Omeagle may be that seedy website as it. It wasn't this hyper popular trillion dollar company that entrenched itself in the recesses of the internet, Alexa ranking last month was in the top 700. gen alpha may not even know what people are talking about when hearing the name. But it was too honest and good hearted in intentions of and no good deed goes unpunished. So here we are.

>When we say "the parents" everyone nods along and says "oh yes, absolutely" and nothing follows from that.

Sure because "everyone" is in fact not "everyone" ajd certainly not any important lawmakers. On a micro level that solution is some sort of therapy to heal and maybe counseling to figure out how to parent for this stuff online if it wasn't taught in school (and for reference, my mid 00's middle school was already teaching about social media safety. This isn't that unheard of for millennial/Gen Z folks to learn). I can't make that decision for a single parent. Large initiatives include awareness, tools, and general tips for parents.

Bizarrely I find a certain notorious imageboard to be much more sociable than anything that calls itself 'social media'. Even though everyone is anonymous, I come away feeling like it was more like a conversation with randomers in a pub, only with more success than I'd have in the namesake situation.

I think the lack of any 'news feed' or forced revealing of your identity makes it a much more social experience. We're behind a screen talking nonsense and sometimes saying horrible things to each other, but it is fun.

I agree... so if you use the GUI, the window manager has a lot to do with it (hence the other posters comment about wayland).

Wait until you find out some Blackjack is exploitable to be positive EV and requires interesting levels of multitasking the first few hundred hours. Poker can also be profitable due to marks, even with a negative EV rake.

But yes, many games, especially Roulette, Slots, and Craps, are blatantly negative EV. However, Craps is very fun due to the team table dynamics.
I have been running NixOS on my laptop and on my homelab.

I would not use it for a production system. Currently trying to migrate off of it to, I dunno, something else and Ansible. Nix has eaten hours of my life and upstream packages break all of the time. Couple of weekends ago the Mullvad module broke. Before that Virtualbox. Before that ZFS. You can have a perfectly fine configuration that you never touch but upstream instability will prevent a nixos rebuild from actually working.

"list of assertions with zero discussion as to how they make eng more productive" - this is fair. Initial versions of the post had much more of this but I felt it added noise to the core principles. I will be following up with some more posts and real world examples though.
"Like the industry settled on certain things for a reason" - In my experience An industry "settling" on something hasn't been a great indicator of its effectiveness. Industries tend to settle on practices that increase the value of its practitioners and increase barriers to non-practitioners. The legal industry, for example, is still remarkably expensive, laborious and bureaucratic, and while outsiders recognise this, there are few people within the industry who seek to change it.
Thanks for the feedback
Obsolete does not mean something is no longer used. It means that new technology beats the obsolete system every time.

I'm spending most of today updating my Canvas courses, and Canvas is obsolete. Students are much better off asking AIs how to do thing and what they should learn next rather than working through my Canvas courses.
I wasn't aware of that - thanks for the info!
Great point which mirrors my experience as well, even during my foray into gentoo (ostensibly with the hope of fixing these inconsistencies) I ran into system-killing issues with similar root causes. The only thing I regret about nix is that I didn't find it sooner.
The infrastructure will not be needed. Why keep a static book or a semi-interactive LMS when AIs act as tutors and mentors?
And don't forget Hynix. They somewhat recently got into the B2C business, and while they command a premium, the SSDs both OEM and Retail I use from them have been very solid.

There've been PvE missions for a few months now. I think part of the reason they were initially cut/delayed was because of all the shakeups at Blizzard after so many people left and/or got fired for misconduct.

> But for some reasons professional programmers are judged under a much higher moral standard.

I believe the key word there is "professional" -- one of the challenges of a venue like HN is the professional engineers and the less-professional ones interact from worldviews and use cases so distinct that they may as well be separate universes. In other spaces, we wouldn't let a top doctor have to explain very basic concepts about the commercial practice of medicine to an amateur "skeptic" and yet so many discussions on HN degenerate along just these lines.

On the other hand, it's that very same inclusiveness and generally high discourse in spite of that wide expanse which make HN such a special community, so I'm not sure what to conclude besides this unfortunate characteristic being a necessary "feature, not a bug" of the community. There's no way around it that wouldn't make the community a lesser place, I think.

I agree that this makes 37 somewhat interesting.

Certainly more interesting than - say - 31.

31 is a prime number too, and therefore somewhat interesting. But for sure not as interesting as 37, which as we just learned, is the median value for the second prime factor of an integer.

Any suggestions of integers which are even more interesting?

And while we are at it, is there an integer which qualifies to be the most interesting?

The problem with this is that it encourages crime.

I know a really nice guy who went to prison for "stealing" cable TV. He's an electrician and a convicted felon. He is exceptionally productive, and has a ton of sense, but he's also a thief. His time in prison (in Texas) may have been what changed him, but he will never stop stealing.

After knowing him, I would not hire a convicted criminal who spent time in prison / jail.

Additional option: Debian Stable is fine for older desktops and laptops, at least as far back as including mobile Core 2 Duo. Preferably with at least a couple GB RAM and SSD.

It works even better if you disable Wayland and some of the other desktop infrastructure stuff, and use a power-user window manager like around XMonad or i3wm. But the stock Debian Gnome-y desktop performs OK too.

This also fits with using Debian Stable by default everywhere. There's little "scrappy small team" efficiencies when you default to having the same thing on your workstation/laptop, your servers, your RasPis projects, old utility laptops, etc.

> But a program should be optimized not for reading by a compiler but for reading by a human.

I absolutely agree, more than you could imagine, but I think this is not a case where that's the issue. Type annotating everything will quickly make the code harder to read. There's a reason why people like Python. But the problem with Python is that you don't have a way to figure out the types. With F#, just hover over anything and get the type.

> This is essential for maintainability.

Even more to the point, over type annotating will make maintenance harder, not easier. This is because you are fixing the types statically. When you then go to update code in the future, you have thrown out the benefits of type inference and now have to go around manually updating all of these type annotations.

So you took the quote a bit out of context. If you're type annotating code, you're telling the compiler something it already knows, you're telling the human reader what it can already find out immediately for any value, you're increasing the surface area of needed updates, and making the code harder to read.
They have the right to refuse the price the original buyer has an offer from a third party purchaser.

I.e., if I buy Model Z from Tesla, and then arrange to sell it to Sally for $200k (meaning that is the price Sally agrees to pay), Tesla has the right to swoop in and match the $200k and buy it instead.

From the Avis website:

Some Avis locations do not accept debit cards at the time of rental for any vehicle including locations in the Northern/Central NJ area, Philadelphia area, as well as other locations across the country.

Now, sure, so don't rent Avis. But it shows these kinds of restrictions exist.

> If I had debt on my credit card I would too be losing points on my credit score if unpayments.

But if you have lots of unused credit on your credit cards if increases your credit score. It's a silly game but it's what it is.

> > The credit card regulations are more pro-consumer than debit card regulations

> Eh. Agree to Disagree.

The regulations are written how they are, it's not a matter of opinion. You can choose not to care which is certainly your choice, but the regulations are what they are.

> I still don't see what I'm missing.

I guess you mean you choose not to care about the things you are missing, like leaving money on the table. Which is totally a choice, but surely you've now seen the benefits you're missing, even if you take the choice to opt out of them.

> Telling everyone to get a credit card is bad advice.

At least in the US, everything is biased towards making credit cards the optimal choice both to make and save money for all the reasons listed in this thread. For just about everyone, the best advice is to use credit cards.

I get real confused by these.

Imagine if an iOS developer posted a blog about the specifics of files backing UIViews and how the XML configuration language was underutilized.

Wouldn’t that be kind of a weird blog post? The declarative syntax of various UI frameworks is an implementation detail. The hard part is in CSS on the web, or style properties in native frameworks. Business logic as well. Presumably encapsulated in a component, which React does well and web technologies are catching up to.

Why should I care about this, any more than I should care about XML config files on Android? It’s a markup language that is an artifact of the runtime we’re using. I don’t care about that in other contexts, and it’s the least interesting thing in a web development setting too.
