There are many ways to use the word conservative. In this case, I think he is talking about conservative in the technologies you choose to use in the critical path.

You absolutely should learn languages (as but one example) outside the TIOBE top 20. You should be very selective in where you choose to implement them. (with exceptions, of course - TypeScript is likely a pretty safe choice now, but maybe wait to hitch your trailer to Mojo in a production environment.)
I collected broken abandoned ones in my neighborhood in Baltimore. They were there for weeks maybe even months, lying on the ground. I took it home, removed the bird brain, bought a new ninebot ESC, repinned a couple of jst connectors, got a replacement battery, and a folding steering bar a latch from a guy in Russia.

His goal was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. When American democracy is at it’s weakest, he thought he could bully America into throwing out the results of the election.

I’m glad he went to court, but the reason so few cases went to a jury is because they were frivolous. The cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence. Wikipedia shows one out of fifty-five cases were ruled in favor of Trump. Two are still ongoing.

The idea that Trump stepped down willingly _after_ the failed insurrection is laughable. He was out of options. He tried stopping the vote counts and failed. He tried stopping the vote certifications and failed. He tried bypassing the elector process to steal the electoral votes of states he certainly lost but failed. He attempted to delay or stop official congressional proceedings to stay in office, but failed.

There is a similar disaster unfolding in Brazil now[1]. The company Braskem has an ongoing rock salt mining operation under Maceió city for about 40 years. Some years ago sections of the mine started collapsing. Some neighborhoods started sinking and had to be completely vacated. A few days ago another part of the mine collapsed, draining waters from Mundaú lagoon. It was not completely drained, but it was caught on video[2]:

There's probably a lot covered by ITAR in a 78-year-old atomic bomb. For better or for worse, ITAR isn't specifically about new technology secrets, it's about information and material with military application. You can't sell a US WWII tank without rendering its main gun inoperable to a civilian, much less a foreigner. That's not because ITAR is worried about foreign governments reverse-engineering that gun.

OBT vs. Star Schema
"One Big Table" (OBT) is a database design approach in which all the data is stored in a large table. There are no relations between tables in this schema, and all the information is contained within a single structure. This design simplifies the database structure, making it easy to manage and query.
"I dont think I ever got above rating Poor though, because I never really grasped how to get the best out of trading"

Elite's rating is solely a measure of the number of kills you have. No trading performance or any other metric included. Here's the table: http://www.elitehomepage.org/faq.htm#A4 As the page says, different versions had different "kill points". At a straight 1.0 on the BCC, Elite would truly be a slog.

I fetched it out of the bargain bin for about $2, probably still one of the better game purchase I've ever made, though the modern Steam sales certainly have some stiff competition. It's been a long time. I'm pretty sure I made Dangerous, I may have made Deadly, I never made Elite, and looking at that page I can see why. Even with more than one point per some kills that's a tall bar to leap without getting bored.

One of the ways that was planned to mine undersea coal was in situ gasification: basically, start a Centralia-like fire, pump down oxygen and steam, and recover the mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen for use as a fuel. If it's undersea then the risk of uncontrolled introduction of air (as occurs at Centralia) is reduced.

While literally literally does not mean figuratively, people often use literally to say figuratively with extra emphasis, to the point where some dictionaries literally⁰ list figuratively as a secondary meaning for literally.

I think this is why, for me, the future of JS are resumable frameworks like Qwik and Marko 6 – you get all the benefits of NextJS + React (composable UIs, state management, server-side code, etc) with no hydration, which is a big cause of sluggishness with web apps.

Your code only executes when needed, and only that specific chunk of functionality.

HN guidelines are to post the article's title except when it's clickbait. Then you should post a more reasonable title with the main finding, which for a clickbait submission, would presumably make it boring and therefore not get upvoted enough to show up on the front page.

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Maybe we should emphasize posting different titles for misleading and linkbait articles, and more aggressively flag those articles with linkbait titles even if they are the original title. Also, I don't know if HN already has this, but I think it should prevent submitting titles which contain a question mark; display a message requiring the submitter to edit the title so that it no longer contains a question. Even if people just edit "Why did X do Y?" to "reasons why X did Y", the latter title has the same exact semantics but I think it's an improvement, because it generates less subliminal interaction.

EDIT: just after I posted, this article is #3 on the frontpage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38708215. This is an example of what I'm talking about: the title is "SSH protects the most sensitive networks. It just got a lot weaker", which is the article's real title, but I think it should be un-clickbait-ified into something like "Terrapin Attack for prefix truncation in SSH". Although also, that article isn't the original source, and said source has been posted a day ago...
The code size is a poor proxy for performance though. React likely has some areas which are much more performant just because of development efforts, even if it's larger. If we want performance, that's the metric that should be public and clear.

I had until very recently a limited data plan for my cell phone in Europe, a plan similar to the one most of my friends have. The only websites that remained reliably accessible once I'd hit the 2Gb limit were HN and i.reddit.com (RIP). 90% of all other websites just time out.

>Does the amount of written lines of code matter when there's modern linters and tooling?

So long as JavaScript is interpreted it matters a whole lot on mobile devices.

The amount of code delivered and executed on the device has a huge bearing on performance on lower end devices. Unless you're on some $1000+ phone and arguing from a place of privilege.
Companies like Disney pay to make their apps preinstalled on these devices. Tesla removing it may have something to do with Disney pulling ad money from Musk’s companies.

Of course, if we had journalists who’d investigate and interview before reporting on tweets, we might know the truth. Instead we get headlines like: Tesla hides Disney+ app “amid”/“after” Elon Musk’s feud.
This is due to the Japanese language.

They say blue (“ao”) instead of green (“midori”) due to the way the language evolved.

International traffic regulations state the lights must be green, and when translated that was stated as blue due to this. Rather than change the laws, they just made the lights the most blue shade of green they could at the time.

Over time those lights have become rarer and most in Japan are now a pretty standard green.

I can say that this particular little linguistic foible caused some confusion when dating my wife (who had recently moved to the US from Japan) because she called the green lights blue in English.

It's also possible that life originated on Mars (back when it was young and much more conducive to life) and was then introduced to Earth. Or, that life bounced back and forth between the planets as each was affected by large sterilizing impacts in the early solar system, the other acting as a refugee from which the sterilized sister planet could be reinoculated.

If the capital appreciation is zero, then it's just the rental income, which is offset against the cost of maintaining the property and the opportunity cost from the capital outlay on the property. That's not a major problem though, as the rental price won't be able to get too high as people will simply rent or buy elsewhere (as you've reduced the other barriers to building more property)

Of course you can get rid of the appreciation by simply taxing the land (which is the thing that mainly appreciates -- the building itself typically depreciates), and get most of the way there.
The framework is fundamental for all the rest of the stuff. You transfer it before the majority of the site's content. The faster it arrives, the faster your site is usable. It's also always in use. A badly sized image can cost a few MB, but that's a trivially addressable problem on one page of your site. The framework being 10x its required size is a huge development hurdle to overcome.

Your local mom-n-pop laundry place's website probably doesn't need these types of efficiencies, but if you're running a large ecommerce site, time-to-interactive is an important metric which can cost a lot of money.

Personally, I find it to be even better to step through code using a debugger.

I think just reading down the text of a set of code files like a book has pretty limited utility. (Though better than not reading code at all!) It's like reading one of those choose-your-own-adventure books from start to end.

Starting from an entry point and then digging into methods from there is better, but being able to inspect the runtime state and get a sense for the data layout makes the experience so much richer.

We still enjoy things even if we aren't ultimately the prime mover of our own actions.

And I think the argument for punishment as deterence falls down in a few ways:

1) Absence of punishment does not mean absence of consequences. I'm still in favor of incarceration for violent offenders to protect society, but I think that people should be treated with dignity and respect while inside. I think incarceration is deterrence enough.

2) Disenfranchisement plays a role in why people commit crimes. If they distrust or resent the system, punishment only serves to reinforce their perception that the system isn't designed to help them, so why should they help the system?

3) People need to be led by example. What example does it set when COs use violence to control or punish, or turn a blind eye to violence between inmates?

I always find it funny the way people see leadership and authority as license to put people in their place and punish those who do wrong, and then they are surprised when the subjects of said leadership aren't pleasant, peaceful people. People raise their kids to thank their parents, but then they never thank their children. They say things like "I'm not going to thank someone for doing their job" and then wonder why their kids never say "thank you". It's because they weren't leading by example, they were just barking orders.

The point is, punishment is almost always misguided, free will or no. It is a bad motivator and a bad example. The less charitable among us could still reason that "bad" people still "deserve" punishment, but realizing that we aren't ultimately in control of our own actions just underscores the point that nobody actually "deserves" anything other than understanding and compassion for being on a ride that none of us actually asked for.
