I smell unoxidized metal! I love rust, use it almost exclusively. And ferrocene just certified it for industrial and automotive.

And it doesn't sound to me like using rust or ada would have prevented this. It sounds like the android ui, which almost certainly is not in any certified toolchain, had a string handling error. The ui for a safety critical device is safety critical code, it sounds like that isn't how the rules actually work though, or you wouldn't be running it on a phone.

Well, the pressure of the atmosphere is not 1 psi, it's ~15psi.

So under the ideal gas law, a gas falling from 20 psi to 15 would expand about 20/15 = 1.33x its original volume, not 20 times. Likewise it would expand about 2x when falling from 30 to 15, not 30x.

Apparently it's a typo for löyly a finnish word which apparently means steam [0]. The author probably only heard the word pronounced. Anyways, to find this out I merely looked up "pouring water on sauna rocks" instead of trying to look up loyle.

> The primary function of sauna rocks is to generate steam when water is poured onto them. This process, known as löyly in Finnish culture, releases the heat from the rocks in the form of steam, adding humidity to the sauna environment. This humidity helps to open the pores and create a more comfortable and relaxing experience. [1]

Yeah, the benefits of strong typing have nothing to do with Pascal...

The solution from this imbalance is simple: laid off people should become founders. Then they can maximize the profits not hiring people or keep the previous arrangement of hiring as many as possible to grow
The article and every comment in this thread thereof is a thermonuclear illustration of (part of) why I hate web development. This is what so many of my peers told me was the way to develop applications. Nevermind that the desktop frameworks, quirky though they were at times, had none of these issues and didn’t force some absolutely wild hacks on their users.

I will never not be salty about the DOM, CSS, and all the wonky apis to control them. JavaScript in comparison was the least of the sins of web dev.
Sometimes I can't tell if modern web developers are spoiled, by having CSS Grid and IE being dead. Or if we were spoiled back then, by not having to deal with the complexity of modern frameworks and build processes.
I don't think the performance reason is this

'''In a real world app that is responsive and highly dynamic, like BitBucket, the page is usually adjusted to fit content, neighboring elements get pushed out to fit the rotating image, then neighboring and parents elements get adjusted too… the layout of the entire page is redone on every frame because of the rotating image.'''

transform translations doesn't make the browser recalculate the layout for neighbour elements
> I think a better solution would be if the source was required to be public so people can identify bugs, but without giving users the ability to flash.

That would be a solution, still has the problem of "how do you confirm the bug if you can't run the code".

Finding those kinds of subtle bugs pretty much requires you be able to execute it.

I’ve been driving a BMW with the variable ratio steering rack for over 10 years. It’s great. But it’s only variable ratio, not a dynamic ratio. Don’t confuse the two.

A variable ratio is just a regular rack and pinion setup, except the teeth on the rack are more narrowly spaced at the centre. It’s pre-defined, fixed and static. 30 degrees of steering input will always result in the same movement of the front wheels. It’s mechanically fixed.

The Cybertruck is a truly dynamic steering ratio. 30 degrees of steering input will result in a different outcome depending on othe variables such as road speed.

I nearly died in my sleep 2 years ago from about 10 units unexpectedly releasing into my system from swollen tissue left behind by a broken infusion site. What the author describes is potentially lethal.

The thing is, there is no such thing as a lethal dose of insulin per se. If you want to eat half a large pizza and wash it down with a can of coke, you'll likely dose 15 or more units. But dose the same amount and end up not eating your meal and you are in extremely big trouble within half an hour.

> Stradivari violins, hand-crafted by members of the Italian Stradivari family, are legendarily considered to have a superior and unique sound compared to violins made with even the most modern techniques.

I read somewhere that Stradivarius aren't better than modern violins in double blind studies, so this 'point' does a disservice to the author and shows that it's quite difficult to differentiate between 'it was better before' and real 'retrogress'..
I'm not commenting on the actual topic of the post, but "We here in the libraries are world-weary and sophisticated" just tickled me, so I had to seek out more gems.

Should have used a .gif for the animation :)

CSS animations are a resource hog and I avoid having continuously running animations for this reason. For one site I wanted to have a background gradient slowly shift colors over time in an infinite loop but my laptop fan kept spinning on the page and the cpu usage was high so I scraped it.

Brazil abolished daytime change a couple of years ago. Our time is the same all year, no more +1 and then -1 hour.

It was mess on the day there should a change, many people arrived on their appointments one hour before or later. Many automatic systems changed their time, different clocks at home reported different hours.

This chaos lasted one morning. After some time, nobody now complains about not having it. Many people don't remember about the change anymore. The only people that complains about daylight change are the ones that work with people from countries that have that.

Abolishing daytime change is not the same as adopting an "universal" (country-like?) timezone, but shows that it is _possible_ to do on a "big country spanning a lot of latitude as well as longitude and tens of millions on wildly different work and sleep schedules".

Maybe the main issue is that many people fear change? (Which is quite "funny", as winter/summer time is a change in time...)

The next logical step would be integrate the motor directly into the wheel. With 4 wheel drive motors it wouldn't require huge motors, they could each be small enough to be packed right up against the inside of the wheel.

I'm actually surprised they would even need the gearbox. Why not just put four Outrunner[1] motors, one on each wheel, and let the wiring be the only thing that has to flex when the wheel is steered.

It’s explained in the article: the image is a square (even though it looks like a circle), rotating a square cannot be done in place, it’ll shift the layout as it rotates, provoking a new paint of the entire page on each animation frame.

This is how the author explains it, but it sounds suspicious to me, I’m not sure a CSS animate rotation would cause shifts in that case.

I fixed a bug like this in online-go.com once. The "unread notification" bubble had an almost indiscernible infinite animation at 60fps and the website would start killing my Thinkpad every time it was showing. It felt so good to track down and fix it.
I think you are missing the point.

The point is that with commercial software is that there exists an entity that accepts responsibility for it under threat of severe penalties.

You don't want somebody to be killed and then have just everybody shrug "it is not me" and not be able to find a culprit.

Personally, I always include a note that my software is offered as is and I do not accept any liability for anything that it might do including damage to property or somebody's health or life.

That, obviously, absolutely disqualifies it from any critical use.

But that's only fair, if I am not compensated for my work I should not be held liable for it either.

Now, once we find out the software pretty much must be developed commercially, there exists currently no way to force the commerce to make the code public and there are valid arguments in the debate that making it public could make it less safe.
its high time that cost is treated as a requirement of software delivery itself. even now cloud cost optimisation is essentially a requirement driven out of top down goals like FOMO, P&L etc,... its not wrong but that is a pretty late metric

I think a serious lack of tight feedback loops and tooling for engineers made cloud cost management into a discipline driven from top down rather than bottom up like how other pillars of architecture are driven like reliability, scalability, security etc,...

I think finops is a pretty great step in the right direction, but it still feels like a lot of it is being driven out of leadership teams attraction for quality rather than building a culture within the whole org every team is attracted to new quality standard i.e running efficient systems in cloud
I also think this is the route we are heading, a few 1-7B or 14B param models that are very good at their tasks, stitched together with a model that's very good at delegating. Huggingface has Transformers Agents which "provides a natural language API on top of transformers: we define a set of curated tools and design an agent to interpret natural language and to use these tools"

Some of the tools it already has are:

Document question answering: given a document (such as a PDF) in image format, answer a question on this document (Donut)

Text question answering: given a long text and a question, answer the question in the text (Flan-T5)

Unconditional image captioning: Caption the image! (BLIP)

Image question answering: given an image, answer a question on this image (VILT)

Image segmentation: given an image and a prompt, output the segmentation mask of that prompt (CLIPSeg)

Speech to text: given an audio recording of a person talking, transcribe the speech into text (Whisper)

Text to speech: convert text to speech (SpeechT5)

Zero-shot text classification: given a text and a list of labels, identify to which label the text corresponds the most (BART)

Text summarization: summarize a long text in one or a few sentences (BART)

Translation: translate the text into a given language (NLLB)

Text downloader: to download a text from a web URL

Text to image: generate an image according to a prompt, leveraging stable diffusion

Image transformation: modify an image given an initial image and a prompt, leveraging instruct pix2pix stable diffusion

Text to video: generate a small video according to a prompt, leveraging damo-vilab

It's written in a way that allows the addition of custom tools so you can add use cases or swap models in and out.

You cannot ship a JavaScript runtime in the AppStore, so you cannot ship a browser that is not a safari WebView, so extensions like uBlock Origin cannot possibly run on an iOS browser.

So which is it? They cannot get away with violating the appstore terms. It must be a shim API that marks the extension as installed to some degree.
At least in the US i haven’t seen many people who treat work like a game not treat life like a game. For example often times it’s clear the motivation for hanging out with them is networking. Then they get to work and tell you how building relationships helps them work better and allow them to push people harder when times are tough. After all they can fall back on those past experiences.

I don’t think these type of people are inherently bad but I like to spend my time wisely and over time I have found this means not spending time with the people who are above you and in some cases at your same level if you are a manager.

When every conversation is about work or work tangential maybe it’s time you find a hobby.

Strange to see this, as the animation should NOT trigger a layout recalculation (transform is done on it's own "layer", is GPU accelerated and that's why it's more performant).

The article mentions "The computer is doing a lot more work and recomputing the layout of the entire page.", but it's not true. As you see in his example, the square image is getting rotated but layout of the table does not change (the image clips out the table), so no layout recalculation is done.

So the "bug", must be somewhere else?

I mean, isn't that what this is? Components for layout?

Personally I prefer MUI over Tailwind (there is layout overlap there, but MUI is much more than layout). But either one is much nicer to use than raw CSS when you are composing complex pages and dashboards. It's like you said, working with higher level components, just with layout also mostly finished out (but both frameworks let you adjust things in-situ like padding, margins, font sizes, colors and such in a clean and maintainable way)
I love that the cookie notice on this website asks for consent to share tracking data with 766 advertising partners. I feel so comfortable with that.
Can someone verify this? I find it hard to believe that the animation is the problem.

I'm making a car argument here.

Whatever specs and price you thought the Cybertruck was was completely wrong.

This is $20,000+ over the initially advertised price with -20% payload/towing capacity and we haven't even gotten to to 3rd party tests yet.

There is no $40,000 truck with 500 mile range here. The specs have come in grossly under what was hyped, while being years too late.

Why would anyone still be considering Cybertruck now? The vaporware even continues for a couple more months since we still don't have a published start of sales date.

----------

If we get rid of specs and the promises/hype made, what is left is just politics and/or trust in Elon. And you have to get rid of specs to be pro-Cybertruck now because F150 Lightning is available, cheaper and well reviewed.

I don't trust this article. Rotation of elements in CSS doesn't cause a reflow of the page, since it's a transform property, and so it doesn't cause a re-render like the article says.
