The article seems to be suggesting to remember to use the power the the web browser already provides instead of needlessly using frameworks.

The walkthrough in the article seems to demonstrate pretty effectively that the powerful development tools offered by a modern browser may obviate the need for elaborate frameworks in many cases.

Where this is the case, then, relying a framework instead of the tools the browser already provides artificially constrains an application, potentially for dogmatic reasons, and regardless of a developer’s level of advancement.

Browsers have rapidly come a long way even just in recent years. Frameworks well and truly have a place, but narrowly relying on frameworks, particularly out of beliefs about browser capability established years ago (like when React was introduced), can neglect browser-native functionality that can provide same-or-better results, with potentially better outcomes in performance, accessibility, maintainability, and more.
You don’t have to support, use or even like React in order to like responsive clients that don’t roundtrip to a server for every little thing. Heck, it doesn’t have to be reactive programming at all for all I care, as long as the result is good. It just happens to be that currently reactive programming is generally the least bad system to program in. But even CSS transitions can do a lot of heavy lifting and degrades well.

The conference paper is the best read for details: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3576915.3616578 - the security properties of the scheme are 1) supports covert inspection, 2) emblems are verifiably authentic and 3) provides accountability - identification of parties that issued fraudulent emblems.

The covert inspection part is primarily through broadcast of the emblem through multiple channels (so it will go to many people interacting with the systems who didn't ask) so that the attacker will see the emblem passively without having to make a request for it that only attackers would make.
It is mistaken to assert that there is no such principle/heuristic.

The 8-Bit Era: Eight Iconic Processor Designs
I developed tinnitus during a bout of COVID last week.

On about the third day I had an earache in one ear. Earache went away after about a day but now I have pretty strong tinnitus in that ear. COVID symptoms long gone now but tinnitus remains.

'Volume' is negligible when I wake up but increases over the day. I still feel some 'pressure' in that ear (maybe residual sinus infection?) so I'm hoping it will heal on its own.

Anyone else experience this?
Are there some poor unfortunate souls out there that actually prefer their water laced with lead?

Is this the next generation of anti-vax dogma? That lead pipes are actually good?
At the cost of hundreds of billions and disruption of nearly every road in the USA, yes.

Doing it in the more vulnerable areas should be done first and if the lead solder has stabilized, work those areas last. Over a period of 20-30 years is better since that's roughly how long it took to install in the first place. This would lower the price and economic costs too. (this is what they do btw)
How about passing a law explicitly covering the kind of information being collected and sold as actually being private, and against the law to share with anyone without a warrant?
What are you talking about. That's not what the conversation was about.

If you have a parliament with 100 seats, and the biggest party has 10 seats, and then 30 other parties split up the remaining 90 -- then yes, the biggest party is still far, far outnumbered. It's the largest, but it's nowhere even close to a majority.

There are no statistical lies here, so please don't make those kinds of accusations here. The point is, biomass is not the only lens to look through.
That's not a tailwind problem that's an educational one.
> If you account for resources which have been put into development of those features, it's pretty obvious XMPP is the more agile protocol.

10 years is not agile.

> Imagine what could be if people focused on XMPP instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel.

We could try and imagine. As it stands, it's XMPP which is reinventing the wheel, continuously. The primary reason being: it was developed at a time when non-persistent internet connection, multi-device synchronisation, video calls, ubiquitous file sharing and other wonders of the modern world didn't exist, and retrofitting it was a multi-year struggle. Undoubtedly prolonged by the very same people who decried the modern world and claimed that XMPP was enough: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38497839
> look at the divide in architecture between houses sold to people, that are actually made to look inviting and high-quality

While I agree with your conclusion, I think your example is incorrect. Most houses aren't custom builds, they're built on spec. Think McMansions.

These houses use 2x4 framing, guaranteeing that they can't be adequately insulated. They all use double hung windows instead of high performance options, like tilt turn. They have features that no one actually wants like erratic rooflines, great rooms and oddly places veneer bricks. In short: these are bad houses. They optimize for maximizing square footage, resale value in a Keynesian beauty contest, while throwing all liability concerns to the winds.

Contrast this with actual custom contemporary residential architecture. You get features like insulated wall assemblies, large eaves to reduce weathering and summertime thermal gains, roof lines that won't lead to maintenance nightmares and so on.

Outside residential, I think you're spot on. Look at Boston's city hall. No one with affection for humanity would've built such a thing.
Note that the target price (which probably wasn't going to be achieved) also involved about $30/MWh of federal subsidies, and the target assumed 40-50 reactor modules being built (it was not the price for those first six modules for CFPP).

It was clear what was going to happen after they announced the price increase late in 2022/early 2023. NuScale carefully stopped making positive statements that could get them personally sued and the executives started unloading their stock.
Could it be that those movements are pinching a nerve somewhere and causing the tinnitus?
Adam d'Angelo[1] who is on the board is also the founder of a commercial AI startup called Poe which lots of people are claiming is a conflict of interest given openAI are moving into a space that seems adjacent/overlapping.

Didn’t see any Red Cross thingies close to the battle-fronts, as in, putting themselves in harms’ way in order to save lives. I’m talking about Ukraine/Russia, which is the conflict I’ve followed closer. I’m convinced the same holds true about Niger and Mali, where they most probably enjoy diplomatic neo-colonial status close to the capital.

In other words, show me the Red Cross people who have lost their lives close to the lines of battle in the last 5-10-15 years and I’ll change my opinion. Otherwise, stuff like this just denotes laziness when it comes to investing in real IT security.

I usually help people hiring developers and when you get quotes that are that different with people on similar seniority levels it's usually because the requirements aren't specified enough.
that's doubtful. Sure they will eventually go away but they're still popular amongst the moderately rich. However I can see forcing conversion of everything over to non leaded fuel spread out across 20 years or something.
I think it does make sense if you consider it in terms of actual language power (a la Automata Theory) as opposed to just varying kinds of Turing-complete languages as it seems you're framing it.

If what you need is a configuration language, please don't express it in Python. If what you need is a regular expression matcher, please don't express it in a bespoke recursive-descent parser written in the enclosing language. If what you need is a SELECT over a large dataset, don't download all rows from the DB and then iterate/filter them on the local host.

I think there are many reasons for this, not just for human readability -- also for performance and security. Berners-Lee is quoted in that wiki article as saying it helps semantic extraction, too, but I personally consider that less convincing.

This won't really make a difference in that regard. If you wanted to use AI, you could copy the input/output or just use their API directly.

Those taillights have their own LED drivers and not rarely they pulse the LEDs with far more than twelve volts to get them to be brighter. The pulses are super short so they don't damage the LEDs. I don't have any idea if the Ford in the article uses that trick but I've seen it on a couple of other cars as well. Usually they are simple DC/DC converters using buck-boost drivers to make the higher voltage. Moisture (tail light leak mentioned in TFA) could lead to that voltage being present on the bus (at low current, but those bus drivers are puny).

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp8868v-q1.pdf?ts=17015227...

Datasheet of a typical driver. So 60+ V out, nice little series inductor, 6A peak current on pulses a few ns wide. That'll do it, though the best CAN bus drivers on the market could easily sustain that without damage I'm pretty sure that not all of them would and I've seen them give up the ghost in e-bikes from transients (CAN is used in e-bikes extensively, both for the main components (battery, motor, UI) as well as for auxiliaries (front and rear lights, charger).

On another note: the price for the repair is ridiculous, but that's mostly because anything involving a transistor from a car brand is marked up 1,000%. Boards that don't cost more than $20 to make sell for hundreds of $, and replacing them is going to be a ton of work because of how it's all put together. A (sealed) taillight assembly could easily be $800. Headlights are usually even more expensive.

In general, about Ford: great when it works. But fragile and bad engineering on plenty of parts, notably: light assemblies, various braces (including the one that holds up your transmission, don't ask me how I know about that), trim pieces and most of the interior. Engines are great, it's almost like they are designed and built by a different company. Warranty is a ridiculous back-and-forth on things that are clear manufacturing or even engineering faults and you, the customer end up in the middle (and usually pay for the privilege). I had an F150 in Canada, and I liked it from the utility perspective but the reliability wasn't there and Ford as a company utterly sucks and will never see another dime from me.

25 years ago Ford was one of the biggest brands here, today they have a negligible market share in the personal vehicle segment.

Down 75% from their peak in the 80's, I would not be surprised at all if at some point they pull out of the market altogether.
Imagine you have an 80% chance of winning but Google will spend millions of dollars defending against your lawsuit. Is suing them worth the risk of a judgement that will ruin your life in perpetuity?

That's why in the US the losing side only has to pay if they committed some kind of misconduct.

There's a fair argument for both systems though, I just want to point out the American system isn't clearly absurd.

Edit: To a certain extent you can control your own costs. You might find a lawyer willing to donate their time, or you might find a scrappy team willing to take on Google for less money. But Google will always hire a top firm with high billing.

I'd say Spring and React are less powerful than just plain Java/Javascript, in fact having any framework usually reduces the "power".

I believe "power" in this context describes the amount of freedom the language allows. The less powerful the system is, the better you can reason about it and the more external tooling you can add around it without breaking corner cases. A webpage is less powerful than a .exe running on your system, but that is what makes it so useful - you can run it at 144 fps, use it with a screenreader, custom CSS, high DPI (even if the webpage was written in the 90s), etc. and all of this relies on the lack of power of the webpage.
html or css is less total power in exchange for being better at some specific things.

If html can reasonably do X then it's probably better at doing X than doing it js. If that rule of thumb isn't true then there's no point for js to exist at all, it would mean js is strictly better in all scenarios.
Combinations of solar, wind, batteries, and (crucially) some e-fuel like hydrogen enables a 100% RE grid to work even in Europe, at a cost that new construction nuclear will have trouble matching. Europe, particularly eastern Europe, is one of the last places nuclear makes any sense, but even that is an expiring refuge as renewables and storage continue to improve in the face of massive demand driving them down experience curves.

Wow! Seems very like their existing 'xenobots' research but made out of human cells this time?! Fascinating stuff! (They are calling them "Anthrobots")

Sounds a bit like once it matures something like this could potentially be made in batches per-patient out of their own cells? Can imagine lots of possibilities along those lines for sure! (as long as their presence in the body can be made otherwise-benign, and of course that they could be 'programmed' to do something specific that you want them to do while in there!).

I really think Michael Levin and team are onto something completely astounding and revolutionary! Great read thanks!
I can share my perspective (downhill longboarding rather than climbing, surprisingly lots of parallels, while on average most likely less fatal it definitely can get you killed or wheelchaired).

There are exactly zero people who do these kinds of sports and have a deathwish, because every deathwish almost immediately comes true. On top of that, while the sport could technically be practiced alone, you really really really need buddies to rely on - they're gonna hold your life in their hands, you're gonna hold theirs. The "stay safe" mantra is fundamentally embedded into the groupthink.

The entire sport *is* risk management. Picking your gear, picking the route, picking your friends, knowing (and consciously pushing) your limits, knowing when to back off, dealing with trauma of injury, of seeing others injured or dead.

Media of course can and will toot the "these insane men" horn, thrill sells and an impartial report would be boring. We're guilty of this too! The boys in the crew often shoot cool videos to attract clicks and sponsorships, it's how the best of us turn the hobby into a trade.

We're not motivated by danger, we're wary of it as a constraint under which we can express ourselves.

Recital is the negotiation workspace for contracts professionals. We're bringing the table stakes of today's programming world to contract negotiations, such as easy version control, diffs, and other features you'd find in an IDE.

We're a small, global, all-remote startup. It's our second startup in the space (the first was acquired). We follow modern product management (discovery) & development (DORA) practices, emphasize developer experience as an accelerator of customer value, and use provably effective management techniques (à la Manager Tools).

We're looking for senior/staff full-stack developers, with solid professional experience in both Ruby on Rails and a modern frontend framework (Vue, React, etc)

sorry but the blame here was 100% on Mozilla. No matter which http version, headers should always be treated as case-insensitive. Blanking anything on google here is just stupid. The problem was nih-syndrome and ignored the http spec.

I overslept today and I just woke up thirty minutes ago. A minute within waking up my brain feels under a lot of pressure and the accompanying tinnitus was very intensive. In fact I simultaneously have a headache.

As more time passes the intensity of the headache and tinnitus get lower by the minute. The idea that tinnitus is caused by hearing loss alone sounds like a load of bullshit. Tinnitus gets worse when I wear very tight headphones or when I am ill or when I move my jaw to apply more pressure to the head. If I could engineer some sort of machine to control the pressure applied to my head, I am pretty sure I could control the tinnitus.

Since I have built a mental model of when tinnitus is really bad and when it it is almost imperceptible, even the most intense tinnitus doesn't faze me and strikes me more as an annoyance like a mosquito buzzing around, because I know that it will go away. Weeks go by where I literally don't think a single thought about tinnitus, then suddenly, it strikes and can't be ignored, except I know it will go away so I ignore it regardless.
