1. The comments on paywalled articles are often (as is the case for this particular story) useful and interesting even if you have not read the article. I don't see why we should be deprived of an interesting thread just because some people might not have access to the article.

2. No one has to read every HN submission and participate in every thread. If a particular thread does require reading the article to get much out of the thread, do what I do--skip it.

3. If #2 is happening a lot with articles from a particular paywalled source, and it sounds like I really would have enjoyed or found the thread useful, that provides a strong hint that maybe that source is one that I should considered subscribing to.

This is not rational. Developing countries will be hit by climate change, but they have much more serious concerns. In Bangladesh, climate change impact was estimated to be about 9% of GDP this year due to particularly adverse conditions: https://www.newagebd.net/article/219027/climate-change-deple.... That’s less than two years of GDP growth. By 2050, it might be up to 20% of GDP: https://www.reuters.com/world/climate-change-putting-4-globa.... Mitigating that would be a far less valuable investment than investing in more roads and bridges, or healthcare programs and education to keep the GDP growing at current levels.

Every few years I turn back to this article from 2001, where some crunchy hippy Dartmouth professor opined Bangladesh should ignore World Bank guidance and stay poor: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2001/05/alternative-pro.... The World Bank has always been a bulwark of helping developing nations progress the same way developed nations did. And it’s worked. Bangladesh is a completely different country than it was in 2001. It’s disheartening to see the World Bank fall prey to hippy thinking now.

Other than the people who have to wait several minutes for your 20MB JavaScript framework to load on their slow metered connection just so you can make an expandable section using a bunch of <div>s rather than the native <details> element. But those people don’t matter because they should just move to a country with unlimited fast internet, am I right?

Except that it's not how EULA do work. If it's made illegal by law (which GP suggess), then lawyers writing these EULAs can write anything they want in fineprint: it's not superseding the law.
Within the Central and Eastern European mountaineering scene that occasionally does expeditions to the Eight Thousanders, there are plenty of climbers who do not come from wealthy families. After all, such intergenerational transmission of wealth got interrupted during the socialist era, but the state provided infrastructure for people to enter the sport regardless of their background. Instead, the money comes from sponsorships.

I know this firsthand, as a friend of mine is such a climber, and my language-services business has provided native-English revision of his and his peers’ sponsorship applications for some years now. In between expeditions, it is a constant hustle for money.
> Recent research that adjusts for the flaws inherent in BMI show that there is no paradox. The more body fat a person has, the more likely it is that they will die.

The study that you link to that suggests this makes absolutely zero attempts to control for wealth. I don’t think I need to take a health study in the USA seriously if it doesn’t consider the potential for wealth (access to healthcare, leisure time, poverty stress, etc) to be the cause of what it’s seeing.
Hahaha comparing US and EU is preposterous. If you are at least compare one country in the EU to a specific state in the US otherwise the variations are so great as to be truly meaningless.

Your better than thou attitude is certainly noticed and 100% not earned from an argument strength perspective or from an EU “no lead pipes” perspective.
> Tangent but David Harvey says "wealth redistribution is the lowest form of socialism". A better way is to do a few things differently so those people are better empowered to make more money for themselves.

This is a pretty interesting take.

From a Capitalist perspective, people know what they want - and the market is "efficient" when you let people do what they want. There's nothing more efficient than giving people money.

From a Socialist perspective - I guess this is obviously wrong? If an economy free of government interventions worked, you wouldn't need Socialism in the first place? So it's better to let the government make investments on your behalf?
I was there too with a Sony GDM-FW900 monitor with 2300x1400 resolution and my experience was very negative. Both as a user and as a developer (though I was just a kid getting started in ‘99). Any software that wasn’t made by a major company was a crapshoot and Delphi layout was brittle for my own apps. Anything that got deployed to university computers with their bulk purchased monitors was mostly fine except for the deployment process.

There are more web developers because it was a lot easier, even before npm existed and frontend frameworks went out of control. That’d didn’t happen in a vacuum - Electron was really late on the scene as far as frontend tech goes. It was originally made to support an IDE and not regular business apps and still won.
It's 100%, for everyone. This is being written about because until now, despite a community of hyper competitive individuals vying for first ascents in extreme environments, no one has done this route until now; it was unimaginable, basically, as something you could possibly survive. But these mad lads had the imagination to see it was possible, and the skill sets to achieve it.

As for 'dice rolls', it depends. In climbing there is "objective danger" - danger you cannot really control, like your route passes under a serac that collapses frequently, and "subjective danger" that you can control - you step on a loose hold and fall. They spend months planning, trying to reduce the objective dangers as much as possible, and of course years of training to reduce the subjective dangers. Summarizing all of that as a 'dice roll', while it might capture the percentages of particular high risk climbs, seems to miss the mark a bit. Spend a night in a climbing hut, or hanging in a tent/portaledge off a mountain side and it's endless talk about this sort of thing. How to master your body, the terrain, and often most importantly and hardest, your mind.
Very useful resource. I've used grid for a little while, but never built a strong intuition for the logic. I mostly just progressed through trial and error. This helped rectify that.

Would love to see a part 2 focusing on subgrid and the "rest of the iceberg".

It’s definitely true. The high visibility of holds in the gym makes it easy to move quickly, even your first time up it, which saves a lot of energy.

Outside, the good and bad holds are probably the same color, and may be oriented in weird ways that require some feeling around to find the best way to grip them or stand on them.

Over time, climbers outside can learn to read the rock and make very good guesses about how to reach or step for the next usable hold. But it takes time to learn, and is somewhat location-specific because of the widely varying geology of climbable rock.

You can easily use Drupal to create the backend for a headless CMS. It's about as simple as turning on the JSON API module that comes out of the box, and then start creating content types.

But then you're having to maintain the CMS, which isn't as appealing as using something like Contentful. It really depends on your use case (like all technologies, of course).
What’s the yearly maintenance/filter cost though?
Huh? Where did you get the idea that she didn't get any money? The article says - "But she now says settling out of court for an undisclosed sum earlier this month was better for her and others."
But that issue has nothing to do with the question of whether the "filter lists" could be updated dynamically without store review. It's asking for a way of programatically triggering the update to the latest version of the extension in the store.

That feature request being fixed would do nothing to enable updates without store review. And likewise the feature for doing updates of the ruleset without a store review already exists but is not used by UBOL.

So the link doesn't actually support your claim of it being a limitation of MV3. The link is just irrelevant.

The FAQ hints at why UBOL doens't make use of that feature, but doesn't actually state it outright.
Rents only go up if more people want to live somewhere or can afford more to live there - or, maybe short-term, if the government levies more taxes.

If you make everywhere nice, then you don't need to pay a premium to live somewhere nice.

Maybe you have to pay a miniscule amount more in property taxes.

You could just stop running trash & sewer service and let the city turn to garbage if you want lower rents. I don't think that's what people want. They want somewhere nice to live.

You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Javascript on the frontend is not for "systems" logic, it's for small changes to the layout without reloading the page. This myth that HTML, CSS and JS are all separate "systems" that need to be isolated has to die.
I'd add that if you paid a price similar to buying a physical copy then it's a stronger case. And most of these digital 'buy' prices have literally no discount compared to a Blu-ray, which is shameless.
Prescribed burns (intentional, hopefully controlled, fires) are increasingly common in modern forestry and wildfire prevention. They're done in Canada and Australia, and from a quick search, it was brought back into practice in the 1990s in the USA.

As a Firefox user since its beta, there is? Last I checked there remain 3 browser engines left. Mozilla’s Gecko, Google’s Blink, and Apple’s Webkit. Everything else is just variants using those engines, and the vast majority of those variants (Opera, Brave, Edge, etc) are Chromium-based/using Blink. That’s not a lot of difference. If you really want to get away from chrome, your mainstream option is just Firefox. Unless you’re on a Mac, or iPhone. Where you can choose between Firefox and safari.
Something I've wondered about CAD for a long time (as a non-user) is whether the sheer physical labor involved in operating the CAD software influences design choices.

True. As an user, I just don't visit websites that disrespect me, though.

I keep JavaScript always on and if I see a website abusing my trust, I just blacklist the entire website from my browser and never visit it again.

As a developer, all of my publicly available personal projects feature no tracking, no advertisements, and no third-party JavaScript in general. JavaScript is a really good tool, but as any tool can be, JS can be misused.
Not sure if it counts as Victorian Gothic, but The Natural History Museum in London is one of the most delightful building I've seen.

I think plumbers would be fine with it: it’s a huge amount of work either way but doing it in an organized manner would mean that they wouldn’t have to deal with finding a client, negotiating a deal, getting permits, etc. individually for the entire neighborhood.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I feel like a lot of the comments are referencing the Drupal of the past, not today's Drupal.

Drupal 8, 9, 10 and beyond is quite different than what came before it.
Idk. I like having property rights and so naturally that will extend to others and their homes and businesses else they won’t respect my property rights.

Every hard problem I have today in my career involves getting business people to define their business problem properly in order to solve it with technology. Even the hardest code I've ever written was easy compared to some projects, simply due to the business issues lurking around the project. Last week I finished a script to download a CSV and save it to a SQL table (literally) that took 3 weeks because business folks couldn't get their act together on what they wanted. I finished another project in a few days which is currently the core of a previous employers energy efficiency controls product which was easy because the person defining it did it very well, and I had no questions, just work to perform.
Yeah I think the original commenter wanted to drum up support for their idea by also blaming movie stars and CEOs (kind of like shooting fish in a barrel on HN).
That sucks. I’m sorry you’re in such a bind. Have you considered teaching? It’s not the most lucrative thing in the world but it can be something until something better comes along. And a storied tech person like yourself might be able to leverage the foreigner card to get an outsized salary teaching the local children or adults tech in a school or university setting.
It’s not an add blocker. It is a competitive as blocker.
I like that Ars tries to defend ad blocking, but please, prepare better, maybe talk to actual developers and avoid false accusations.

It’s completely okay to criticize Google for doing really controversial (to say the least) stuff like getting rid of blocking webRequest, but criticizing them for prohibiting inclusion of remote JS in the extension is simply bad work.

They could do a minimal fact check, remote JS was never allowed in Mozilla Addons store. A bit more research and they’ll learn that cosmetic filters updates do not require an extension update. A little bit more research and one can learn about the no-review-fast-track that Chrome WebStore plans to implement next year.
It seems like many technocrats forget that the economy is composed of people, first and foremost. Without people there is no economy. Without companies, people will just exchange goods with each other, like they did for thousands of years. Stock markets, big business, even currency - none of that has to exist for a perfectly healthy economy to exist.

Slice and dice the stats however they want, but a technocrat isn’t gonna convince many people that “The economy is great!” just because the second derivative of price is on the decline. What matters is how many food things a family is able to buy, compared to pre-pandemic (which is still recent memory).

My understanding of the strength of British Libel laws is due to them being used to eliminate dueling which was quite prevelant amongst the officer classes in the British Army. They took two measures. One was to ban the military pension of an officer killed in a duel going to their wife, the other was tough libel laws that enabled matters of honour to be settled in a court rather than through a duel. Both of these measures combined to virtually eliminate dueling.

This is hard to communicate so I’m sure I’ve been misleading.

“Space” is expanding uniformly, yes. But not the matter that exists in space, nor is the distance between local matter increasing.

It’s not like the entire universe is undergoing a magnification of scale where everything is enlarging including each individual atom.

So it’s misleading to say “the space between your fingers is expanding”, because it might give the impression that the distance between your fingers will actually be larger as time passes. This is not the case.

If “space is expanding”, but the matter inside this space is unaffected by said expansion, then you’re left with a very subtle phenomena which is easy to misunderstand.

Also, the current theme I'm seeing across many companies is "we have added lots of engineers/products/vendors and we need to focus on building a platform (infra, automation) that lets us ship and not get in the way".

It seems industry went from un-bundling engineers --> sre, devops, network, security, developers --> re-bundling much of this knowledge back into a new role/practice area called "platform engineering".
