This has to be the worst possible way to present this. Just give us a, you know, MAP. With openable annotations and panning so we aren't locked in some view we didn't navigate to with tons of info about something we didn't actually seek out.
At this scale, does it really matter? Right now everything I record in the cloud has an infinite history attached to it, so nothing is ever really "deleted" as I understand it, the index merely points to the latest version of a file.

If the deletion is meant as a security feature, then you can "delete" a file by making it encrypted and deleting it's decryption key.

Exactly. I guess "making CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays obsolete" doesn't have the same ring to it.
For the same reasons that using fewer moving parts is a principle in engineering more broadly.

Had the scroll indicator in the heading excluded the massive footer might have offered something of value, but with this lazy implementation ist shows that you haven't finished the article even though you have and only completes when you scroll through the giant footer.
Don’t wonder, try to do it.
I recently built a couple of apps in it and I found it to be great—I would recommend it, assuming that your app has similar functionality to a web app—text, images, data fields, fairly standard navigation (some of the more sophisticated interactive/canvas-based apps look a little trickier). The only issue I've stumbled across is that React Native added a new rendering engine recently, and some of the animation libraries need updating to work with it (but, that work seems under way). In general, it was straightforward to work with, I found working libraries for pretty much everything I wanted, and I had a nice little iOS app with swiping, infinite scrolling with lazy loading, pull-to-refresh, streaming audio, native icons, popup sheets, and supabase integration, working in under a week.
It's not like dark patterns happen by accident. I don't think perpetrators have any interest in avoiding them.
The learning curve is very low though, especially for JS/React developers.

Flutter did not come from nowhere, Dart is heavily inspired by Javascript and the rendering model is close to React.

The issue will rather be that they won't want to work on it due to their career than the pure tech capabilities.
Ah, I know that guy! Looks like Startup L. Jackson is back.
Discord's iOS and Android apps are built using React Native [1]. This enables business logic to be shared with the desktop and web clients, as well as shared UI components between both mobile apps.

Part of the reason you see abandoned repos is because the community has adopted libraries like Reanimated, React Native Gesture Handler, and React Navigation, which offer a lot of leverage to implement ambitious animations and native experiences in JS/TS.

React Native is mature enough to build big apps, and the community is active. It's still necessary to reach into Swift/Kotlin to implement some things, but for large apps that's not an unexpected lift. For cross platform JS/TS apps, no alternative offers the code sharing and delivery flexibility advantages of RN. I expect it'll remain relevant due to it's unique
advantages and the community library stack will continue to mature.

I would suggest that we've already been through this with the advent of the internet - if anything awe inspiring happens anywhere in the world we can all hear about it which is a massive change from only being aware of local art/events. I think the major change will be the democratising of artistic taste, it's far easier to tweak a prompt than to learn how to be an artist so we'll get to see artistic expression from a much wider variety of people that are outside of artistic cliques.

It's my view that aesthetics are entirely independent of the work/suffering put into it by the artist and I'm looking forward to more art that is created to appeal to my innate sense of aesthetics by others who share that sense.

This guy is wrong about every single thing, except government surveillance/spying. Example, he supported the Israel Anti-Boycott Act (S.720) which criminalizes boycott and divestment activism by U.S. citizens against the State of Israel
What drives this madness on small modular nuclear reactors?
Nope, it only gets stronger after some use - or abuse- of headphones with medium-high volume.
Completely disagree. For one, there are tons of native apps that are essentially of these "back office-type" styles. Think banking apps, most airline and hotel membership apps, real estate apps, etc. It's not hard (or I guess not harder than native) to make these apps look great using web technologies.

If you really do need the "slickness" of native apps, I wholeheartedly agree, go native, and use the native frameworks to do so.

The reason I don't like React Native much is that it occupies a "weird middle ground" - if you need the benefits of native, it's usually easier with less headaches to just go native (and big companies have announced ditching React Native due to this reason), but if you want to go cross-platform, there are other technologies that work better IMO.
With real kitten pics, you know that somewhere out there, there are kittens. But with AI gen'd kittens, you could be potentially unaware of a worldwide kitten cleansing. Imagine a world where your grey cubicle is bearable because you know there are kittens somewhere, but the reality is it's nothing but grey cubicles the world over and all the kittens are long gone.
Your comment prompted me to actually read Toner’s paper, and you’re seriously mischaracterizing it. And, not that it matters so much, but she’s third author on it.
Banning them will invite antitrust regulation, because there's a conflict of interest between giving away the browser and crippling it to benefit their advertising business. I suspect that for the legal department, it's too close to the historical example of Microsoft leveraging its operating system dominance to benefit Internet Explorer and hurt competitors like Netscape. If they bury the anti-adblock strategy under layers of technicalities, they can plausibly deny that they're targeting particular vendors.

This is interesting.

I am pragmatic with most things in life. Clinging onto something is mostly a losing proposition. If something, for some reason, does not do work for me anymore, and there is no reason to assume that's going to change and nothing I can realistically do about it anyway, then it's probably a good idea to adjust and let it go.

In this particular and rapidly evolving part of our experience, I am sure we will discover new things about us. Maybe yeah, looking at actual photos of strange places will do less to us. Maybe that's fine because we never did care if it's real or not; maybe that part of the experience was mostly for the photographer and not the audience. Maybe for the rest of us the wonder that is somehow induced and the imagination being tickled can just as well be synthesised.

Would that be bad? Of course, too much of a thing will still be tiring and outright bad for you. Food is our most obvious nemesis in this regard. But even in a society where it's overabundant, we still value whatever good food means for us and I think it's highly unlikely that that is going to going to change.
Is there anything similar for Sqlite?
I mean that if you are asking for something we don't currently have, it pretty much by construction has to be something that involves more data and metadata. IDEs already do a lot of this sort of thing with all languages. Slicing and dicing by functions and such is not that hard and I've seen any number of variations on it, but coherent views of any sizable code base do not arise from any amount of that. If you want a coherent view of the code base, you're going to need to provide more. One such example would be literate programming, something that a lot of people look over and pine for the end results, but aren't actually willing to put the effort in that is irreducibly necessary to obtain such results.
And image sizes aren't really bound by human perception in any real way. Yes, screens typically range from 2-8MP, and probably won't go much beyond 32MP. But more resolution, more dynamic range, more color fidelity are incredibly useful for editing pictures; and you can always add resolution to add digital zoom.

Photos are however constrained by physics. There are only so many photons captured in a certain area in a given time, so no matter whether we talk about the tiny lenses and sensors of smartphones or the much larger versions on dedicated cameras there's a very real limit (and phones are pretty close to the limits imposed by their sensor size)

> ...and found that a top dental school nearby would offer care from students at a lower rate, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

My parents have been doing that for years at the dental college down the street from their house and have nothing but good things to say. Same college also does eye doctoring and they also go there for that.

IIRC, the format is a newer and more experienced student work on them while an instructor supervises two or three of these groups.
I never wrote or implied you did.
I was accusing Musk of being pro-Russia, so the correct accusation would be anti-Russian troll. I think that exemplifies your general level of precision.
Most clouds these days do have a limit on maximum version retention. Otherwise you'd effectively get infinite storage for free.

If a cloud storage provider doesn't charge for infinite version, that's not very different from offering "unlimited storage" plans: They have pretty good statistics of how much the average user really uses on an "unlimited" plan and will price their services accordingly. Revision history just adds another term to the same equation.
Scientist don't think they are right or wrong they work with the data they have and add new data when it comes available otherwise they are not scientists. Honestly, insane that I have to say it on HN.
First time to see that (now it went to my forever open tabs :) )

How is your experience with that?do you have it self-hosted or use their offering?
My interpretation: e/acc is the descent of Silicon Valley venture capitalists into extremism, propelled by the threat of high interest rates.

Another factor is a more (justifiably) pulled-back approach to the tech industry, as people & govts realize the harms of letting technologists run loose and play fast with their power (social media companies are a good example).

Tech optimism (not the odd a16z variety) is great. This wave of e/acc is odd. It feels like an old guard trying to retain relevancy. The world no longer spins around venture capitalists anymore.
It's worth noting that NONE of the objectives of this group are defensive, like detecting or disabling 'the enemy'. They're entirely offensive. Big red flag.
Does the OT potentially confirm models of superfluid quantum space that have Bernoulli's, low pressure and vorticity, Gross-Pitaevski,?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38370118 :

> > "Gravity as a fluid dynamic phenomenon in a superfluid quantum space. Fluid quantum gravity and relativity." (2017) :

>> [...] Vorticity is interpreted as spin (a particle's internal motion). Due to non-zero, positive viscosity of the SQS, and to Bernoulli pressure, these vortices attract the surrounding quanta, pressure decreases and the consequent incoming flow of quanta lets arise a gravitational potential. This is called superfluid quantum gravity*

But I think there’s additional layers at play here.

Its less of the logistics of outlawing it, it seems this is more akin to “sunlight is the best disinfectant”

I wouldn’t be surprised if this senator doesn’t have the backing or the political capital to pull this off successfully (just submitting legislature vs withholding appointment)

I think anything that can be exposed to more mainstream viewers has a higher likelihood of getting “better” sooner. (“Better” being highly relative)
Stoicism is good, but as technologists we do have some some say in the matter. The people who are most willfully accelerating us toward their utopia will say things like: "A big secret is that you can bend the world to your will a surprising percentage of the time." [1] If we don't like the way that AI is dehumanizing us, can't we fight back, and shouldn't we?

Signet App – Your digital identity and security of communications at your palm
There's the perfect solution in an ideal world, and there's what actually works given people's actual behavior. For the latter, you have to consider that if you make EVs less compelling, more people might just stick with their ICE vehicles, which are worse overall when you take all pollutants into account.

After the EV transition is complete, though, that'd be a good time to start limiting torque. Unless most people are just riding self-driving taxis by then, which probably won't be doing fast acceleration anyway.
None of what you said is an inherent problem with JS.

The company I work for has JS app that is resilient against the missing-content problem you refer to. It is also more accessible than any other web app I've ever seen in my life. There's nothing about JS that breaks screen readers: you just... generate the right HTML with the right attributes.

The problems you see with JS apps that don't work are apps written by people who don't care about their app working and don't care about accessibility. That's orthogonal to whether a JS app maintained by a competent team can have better cross-browser compatibility than one (by the same team) that leans entirely on new HTML and CSS features.
S3 may be last storage service on the internet to go away, but if you stop paying for a while (forget, credit card expires, medical issues), then your data will dissappear.

My pleasure. Grammar nitpicking tends to get downvoted (as happened here), but my intent is to help educate. Glad it helped!
They do, any cable over about 1000km has active repeaters on the seabed which need to be powered.

There is HVDC equipment on both ends and typically each end is sufficient to power the entire cable independently to allow for the cable to continue running through maintenance, shunt faults (basically something earthing out on sea water) or a single failed repeater.
Would you like to share a some resources on the topic?
If you travel a lot, the Chase Sapphire Reserve is worth the membership fee, since you get back credits for travel and precheck. The lounge access is also a surprisingly good benefit.
I don't know all the details of course, but I think I'd approach this by splitting the user specific info into a short lived user specific cache + globally caching the non user specific stuff for a bit longer. Ideally that way you only have to query the user specific part at most once every 5 minutes or something like that.

Or even if you didn't cache the user specific bits, you could cache the rest and just query for that every time.
It scrolls the screen to the carousel on click, and every click adds to page history so you need to click that many time to back out.

Just because you use an anchor tag, and anchor tags add to page history, doesn't automatically make it "working as expected". It's unexpected behavior for the user.
Meltdown is certainly an overstatement (at this point). Not that that is much consolation to people who have lost their jobs and are having trouble finding a new one or those whose RSUs are worth a whole lot less than they were.
Zig Memory Management and the Global Allocator
I would like to become more knowledgeable about authentication and identification tech stacks (LDAP, OIDC, Oauth, CAS, etc.) and have hands-on experience. I already dabbled a bit with some LDAP, I have professional experience in administering linux boxes and intranet infrastructure. Where should I begin if I want to set up a simple homelab with maybe a raspberry and some NUC ?
It's all the same. The distinction is all man-made.
There sure is a lot of positive responses to this, and I get the draw of removing JavaScript. I usually find myself feeling more optimistic than the peanut gallery...

But, at least on this device (Brave, iOS) some of the mentioned features just didn't work (e.g. emoji accordion) or were awful experiences.

The autocomplete drop-down seemed very broken and both the checkbox and modal especially felt very sluggish. Like I would look for an alternative sluggish.

I've had plenty of positive no-js experiences, but this wasn't it.

Yeah. I've had those nights, and they always come just before a month of burnout and zero coding, not even whilst awake...
yeah, this is a sideshow compared to just enforcing better privacy controls.

I’d assume that wasting a lot of hot water before running the dishwasher negates any price benefits from heating the water with gas instead of electricity. Not to mention the CO2.
Not everyone can do this? That's wild.
> the world became accustomed to that and moved on

I used to have a similar opinion, but some young kids made me aware of an entirely different perspective. The young world seems to be waiting. There are those who jump on every hype to kill boredom or to compensate, those we all see and, I'll be honest here, who we all pity. But then there are those who couldn't get inspired and stimulated in that rather short window between the birth of awareness and that infinite moment when the dark patterns of big tech and the marketing industry hit them like a 2 mile-long freight-train. They can't move on; they are paralyzed. And society acts like they need reeducation.

Some people call it the "enshittification" of the internet and culture itself, which makes it worse because the term just creates another hype. The underlying issue are obedient engineers just doing their job instead of _simply_ (because they are damn good) being the better and much brighter competition. Rationalism and game theory have fooled the smartest into conformity.
It is just a rebranding response to the fact that it is no longer acceptable among educated people to describe yourself as a Republican.

Thankfully, there are methods (like causal transformers, but also some question/text/answer architectures) for not re-computing self-attention between the document/knowledge-base tokens across the iterations of autoregressive decoding for generating the response.

Most of our team uses Emacs for Clojure using CIDER.
I lead a team of a dozen data scientists and engineers working in the financial sector and all exclusively using Emacs. Mainly a Python stack. Emacs gives us a huge edge. Every time anyone improves their workflow in Emacs, it becomes a win for the whole team.
Does anyone know where the research went regarding cold sores on the lip at the virus which causes them? I heard a doctor once speak on the subject that HSV1 I think it is for the lips, goes and burrows in the nerves of the jaw and face and jumps over to the auditory nerve at some point. I was never able to verify any of those claims but it sounded feasible.
US law forbids US government contractors from complying with foreign state sanctions and boycotts against Israel.

For example Lockheed Martin is not allowed to comply with Qatari and Turkish demands to boycott and sanction Israel.

Private US citizens and companies who are not government contractors can boycott Israel as much as they want.

You are probably confusing the law with some weird Texas law that also forbids government workers from boycotting Israel.

The EU has similar laws forbidding EU companies with complying with US/Israeli sanctions against Iran.
I read an older story to my kids recently, and the plot hinged upon a kid getting a stomachache from eating cucumbers and milk at the same time. And that seemed surprising (since my kids do that all the time), so of course I googled for it, and ended up in a morass of blogspam garbage… they really have turned to shit.
It’s true that if your goal is something like Cucumber BDD which can be read by non-programmers, then you would want an abstraction layer over the code that hides some of the syntax. This is also where we could get into Ruby being used as a DSL. The only gotcha is that the reason AppleScript is so hard to write while being so easy to read is basically the same reason we use IDEs to write Python and Ruby and generally prefer TypeScript to JavaScript. Namely, the coding assistance.

And let’s not touch the maintainer nightmare of having to keep method names up to date with a complete description of what the method does. You might end up with twenty words or needing multiple methods that are no-ops if you ever call a shared library with any amount of complicated functionality. Alternatively, your description of what is done is so high level that it doesn’t actually describe what’s done in a detail sufficient for non-programmers to understand.

I guess where I’m going with this is that it’s like comments that describe what the method does. We’ve all been there when the comments don’t accurately reflect reality, because someone, maybe through automation, changed how the system works and didn’t update the comment.

It’s hard for me to see as much value in this presentation over an IDE that could auto-inline the function bodies and leave a comment above each with the method name.
A funny thing about these articles is how punching a clock at Google for a few days becomes your identity. You are a former Google quantum AI researcher, regardless of whether you accomplished anything at all.
