At Fastmail the ops team we ran fail overs all the time just to get our failures so reliable they worked no matter what. Only once in my tenure did a fail over fail and in that case there was a --yolo flag
I'll reply with a bunch of anecdotes, so please bear with me.

A few trends over the last two decades:

* targeted monetization of everything under the sun

* a total shift towards a subscription economy for nearly everything digital.

* a near total shift towards mobile content consumption devices especially for younger consumers (tablets and phones)

has likely resulted in the following:

* low quality algorithmically driven junk food content (tiktok, instagram reels, the garbage people post to advice subreddits)

* startups j-curving for usage and leaning into advertising as their only viable business case

* Google scraping your inbox for ad keywords in the mid 2000s and beyond, Microsoft injecting ads into Windows 10 and 11, etc.

Perhaps worse:

* Generation Alpha and later Gen Z kids having relatively diminished technical literacy compared to elder Gen Z and Millenials (absolutely anecdotal. I'm citing three teacher friends frustrated that kids navigate their way around computers more poorly with each passing year)

* subconscious mass influence of behavior patterns (foreign election interference, your trip to your local McDonald's, sneaker hype culture)

Practically the only thing that hasn't actually gotten worse online, regardless of our own diverse opinions about it, is Wikipedia. It's a for-profit warzone of competing interests making competing edits, but it's an example of what can happen when the constant growth/profit/exit-motive isn't there.

Many of the hobbyist sites running on sites like vbulletin or invision are gone; we use subreddits for those now. And people don't even bother with those, more and more people just post meme gifs in the comments of reels, sitting there scrolling through with their thumbs rather than contributing something new and unique.
I've been using sshuttle to create a VPN to my server. It's a wonderful abuse of ssh.
This, I presume, it's the perfect opportunity to promote my own maze generator[1], which incidentally is a Real Application that you can run on your own computer, and the output of which you own!

Like the linked application, it supports triangular, rectangular and hexagonal grids, and different generation algorithms, which can be combined for various areas of the final maze. It also supports background and mask images to colourise rooms and provide a shape for the maze, as well as a small selection of effects to apply. The output format is either SVG or PNG.

And for that extra HN cred, it's written in Rust (which you are free to ignore if you're not into RIIR, but this is in fact a rewrite of an earlier Python project of mine)!

But it was also design where Intel failed to innovate for many years.

For example, the chiplet approach that AMD embraced allowed AMD to put together far more powerful CPUs, i.e. with more cores and at a competitive price, than Intel could.
The problem with the “safe distance” (my new car has it built into the cruise control) is that it’s more than large enough for a vehicle to merge into, which repeatedly happens.

As more and more cars default to this safely, however, it’ll start to equal out.

That’s still a Meta problem. Simply confirming the PoC should have made it clear that they need to fix something.

As a pedestrian in Tokyo, I'm very aware not to make any sudden direction changes in case there's a bicycle behind me.

It's a very close look-a-like and it works quite well in practice but the codebase is quite messy, with many things still being based on old MS-DOG and its quirks. Would need a ton of refactoring to make it more extensible on modern systems.
The pipes are insulated and I didn't want to cut into that, but maybe a small hole for a sensor wouldn't be too bad.

But as you say, timer works good enough and that means little motivation to continue to work on it -- countless other projects await :)

+1 for the OP posting a non-paywall alternative rather than leaving it to somebody else.
My mom's place (about 100 miles from me) has a water heater that's of an age where it could fail, so I put together a Pico W and a water sensor. I had it notify me daily just to make sure it was still working. And for reasons unknown, every 8 days it would stop notifying. A reboot would resolve it. We tried logging errors and having it report upon reboot but I wasn't versed enough with Pi to figure out anything more than it being an HTTP POST error. So I changed the code so when it got to that error instead of logging it would just reboot itself, and all has been smooth since.
Segment/user persona level landing page auto-optimisation?
we are optimizing D2C ad landing pages for each persona the ad is run for, essentially a segment-level optimization a/b test. our MVP right now is more of a simple visual builder where you can reorder, change copy/images, and create UI on drag and drop. we do it manually ourselves right now.

The actual calculation involves how fast the vehicle you’re following can decelerate, and your reaction time.

You can (usually) follow a large semi a bit closer because its braking distance is longer than yours.

But because of reduced visibility you can end up with “revealed brake checkmate” where the semi swerves into the next lane because a vehicle is stopped in the lane, which you then need to swerve or hit.
I've implemented recently just the same thing, but for SVG -> PNG conversion. I found that SVG rendering support is crap in every conversion tool and library I've tried. Apparently even Chrome has some basic features missing, when doing text on path for example. So far Selenium + headless Firefox performs the best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I was a teenager I had a friend who wanted to build a PC on a very limited budget, and she wanted it to be able to play The Sims 2. Well after much bargain hunting and throwing ideas around, we couldn’t find a way to afford every component we needed, but we were close, so we decided to forgo a case! Just put the motherboard on the desk with other components arrayed around it. Cables everywhere. The tricky part is we had no power button, but I showed her which pins to sort out with a paper clip, and it worked great.
They often propose verifying downloads with it, and it's pretty easy for a project insider to build two artifacts with the same MD5, one clean and one not...
I have read this article twice now and I am failing to understand what they are trying to solve with this. They want to essentially punish students who that opt to attend a wealthy university? So they are expanding pell-grants and banning students from getting federal financial aid? What is the overall purpose or problem they are trying to solve?
I'm not a fan of it there either. JavaScript, since its earliest days, had `private` as a reserved word. Typescript makes use of it. It conveys perfectly what the Class member's visibility should be. Using `#` might be easier on parsers, or may fix some sort of compatibility issue (I haven't read the reasoning) but it's silly.
I read into the numbers behind "hours worked" from OECD [1]. It seems wild to me that the United States on average works 500 more hours a year, compared to the top counties on that list, and 300 more than the EU average. I've never really been a proponent (or opponent) of the four-day work week, but this seems to indicate you become "richer" if you work less. At least according to this type of ranking.

Is there some reason these institutions could not make direct student loans themselves to their students? That would give them some real ‘skin in the game’ ensuring a good education with good job prospects.

It would be telling if they ended up lending to students in some majors but not others.
I bet!

I have only shopped there once! :-)
A Murder at the End of the World: Are You Vi or Emacs?
typically the land grant universities that are state public out perform ivy league schools in specific subject areas.

You miss the point of these ivy league schools already are taxed, Congress wants to say well why not donate to the cause...and frankly some ivy league schools do in fact do that in donations to financial grant programs for low income...

Other point is that pell grants are better spent at State Schools where students can almost get 50% or more of tuition covered by pell grants due to the Congress finally increasing the amounts due to inflation in the bill they are proposing.
I understood your previous post to be arguing against copyright on the basis of scientific work not counting. If you meant copyright is fine but the way we compensate scientific work is bad then I agree. It's a complex issue because I don't think you should be able to copyright a factual claim but I do think scientific work should be better compensated. I don't know of a solution to that problem but I would be eager to hear one.
- Smart Contracts (Financial collaboration on a global scale without the need of a legal system)

- Array Programming (The most effective way of thinking about complex algorithms, the next stage/repalcement of mathematics in the 21st century age of the computer)

- Nym Mix Networks (generally the sphinx packet format & loopix). Better than Tor anonymous message parsing over the internet. Fast & effective.

- LoRa WAN. It is going to be extremely cheap to build a global telecommunications network. Maybe 10,000x cheaper.
Websites aren't responsible for my kids. They should just provide a working mechanism for me to block them other than "I promise Im 18!". Currently it is impossible to safeguard the internet to kids once they know how to read and write.

The privacy concern is BS. Your provider already knows everything you do online. The solution is easy too - sites add a blocking flag that the internet provider uses to block access to the content unless told otherwise by the subscriber.

This has 0 privacy concerns. After all, despite https, Comcast knows what you are doing if you go to pornhub.com. And it costs nothing. A string with a magic number.
Curious why you don't switch to iOS since it's obviously impeding a goal you have.

A personal noise filter does not address the problem of instigators. The problem is not that you don't like what they say, the problem is what they say to everyone else and what effect that has.

What is the chat template? I can't find it in the model card or model details.
Yeah, it is - but people don't often dig into help pages when they see something they find odd... they just close the page.
This specific example is poor sanitization because it actively misleads the users who try to understand what they’re clicking on.

Your example of the generic confusion around host names and domains is a harder problem but people have tried to mitigate it somewhat by doing things like highlighting the domain name portion. Like most phishing techniques, passkeys will end it eventually.
I don't know for sure. And certainly we are not what you call "leftists" in HN. But let me say this on a personal level. I know that people sometimes, all the time, often, certainly, behave stupidly. But I want to believe, ergo I believe, that people can make good decisions, that there is such a thing as "common sense". Looking at the facts sometimes made me sad. Maybe people can't think for themselves, and then they can't choose. But I prefer not to think in terms of peasants and elites, even if history tells me so and Ortega y Gasset tells me how it works. I want to believe that we are capable of governing our lives. I want to believe. Forgive me for expressing not a fact, but the way I think about democracy.
Honors colleges are a massive scam. They give the student more work and far more costs for only a small fraction of the prestige associated with top universities.

They also usually prevent one from applying AP credits or IB credits to college courses, as their "honors" versions of classes are not considered equivalent to any AP class. More money for mom and dad to pay because their kid got waitlisted and later rejected from Berkeley.
How can they blacklist this character while still supporting URLs in right-to-left languages?
While I am extremely excited that these may someday make it into the language, I actually would be fine with `.hashCode` and `.equals` on the Object prototype.

structuredClone, if I'm not mistaken also allows cloning functions/Maps/Sets, so while there may be some overlap, I'm not sure having Records and Tuples solves the same problems. Or as nerdy engineers are so prone to say, they're "orthogonal".
Can we summarize by saying the human animal also has a boom-bust cycle in growth, overpopulating an area, running out of resources, and dying off?
Have you actually read the article? They want to make the default behaviour to deviate from _all_ known standards.
> YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW YOUR PHONE WORKS

Ah, the wailing cry of an inverse fanboy. Like the fanboy, but with extra dollop of smug and righteousness.

I’d estimate that 99% of people don’t know how their phone works, and I’d further wager that there’s no strong correlation between such knowledge and the operating system of their phone.
I don't see much detail about this, will it break apps that use it?
I came across a bug recently where a data structure from Redux, which is immutable, was passed to a GraphQL library that would modify the data it was passed. So we had to make a deep clone.
There's nothing to fix, this is intended, just often "re-discovered" behavior.
Well, yes, I was :-)

Actually, the OP is right. Because iPods always came with Wolfson DACs, and because of Steve Jobs' sensitiveness on the matter, Apple devices always come with very well built analog audio pipelines.

My Macs, iPods and iPhone's audio outputs always rivaled my Hi-Fi amp's (an Akai AM-2850) and desktop sound card's (an ASUS Xonar D2X) without any extra equipment.

So, while Apple devices are expensive, they don't skimp on such things. Instead they silently pack an entry level high-end Hi-Fi subsystem inside and be done with it.

Or you can get a Sony Hi-Res media/music player.
Plus, expert horse riding requires lots of practice from a young age. The steppe warriors, such as the Mongols and the Comanche, managed this. Regular farmers would not.

There was a medieval French saying to the effect of 'if they are not an expert rider by puberty, they can never be a knight'.
I stand corrected! :-)
As an American living in Berlin for 2 years while working as a software dev, this article very much confirms my experience. The move started with a bit of sticker shock at having my income effectively cut in half - lower salaries and higher taxes - but I feel just as "rich".

Germany has very strong worker protection laws, I feel secure in my job, the time off minimum STARTS at 28 days a year, + holidays + effectively unlimited sick days. And recently I went to 80% work capacity at my job (I no longer work Mondays), which again is a protected legal right within Germany. And I'm using this extra time to pursue a masters degree in music composition, something I've always wanted to do but never had time for.

Germany has provided me the stability and opportunity to follow this passion, something that would be much harder to do in the U.S. I am very grateful, and I think the U.S. could learn a lot from it's European peers in this regard.
My personal favorite is the triangular shape, with outer side length set to 200 and inner side length set to 197.

Could this be in the opposite direction, where the richer you are, the less you need to work?
Because in America, if you car breaks down, you're fscked.
Nextjs does also support static site generation. Vite does have similar with Vike, but after using it's client side routing, next still comes out on top.

Vike's client side routing just replaces the whole page, so if you have something like a notification pop up and then the user navigates, the notification disappears.

I worked for a US media company that forced us to use a half-baked CMS from a Norwegian software company, with no apparent provisions in the contract for updates or support.

The CMS was absolutely terrible to work in. Just one small example: It forced every paragraph into a new textarea, so if you were editing a longer news story with 30 or 40 paragraphs, you had to work with 30 or 40 separate textareas.

So I basically built a shadow CMS on top of the crappy CMS, via a browser extension. It was slick, it increased productivity, it decreased frustration among the editors, and it solved a real business problem.

If we had had a security team, I'm sure they would have shut it down quickly. But the company didn't want to pay for that, either!
C# has https://github.com/dotnet/format but because C# is, well, not JS, the importance of linting is far less significant. Instead, there are hundreds of out-of-box analyzers that highlight problematic patterns or likely mistakes in the code and there are even more that you can enable through extensions (like Roslynator) or through packages that are 'dotnet add package' away.

On the package management - it couldn't be more different between Java and C# and it's incorrect to compare the two. .NET has few if any issues of the former.
There are plenty of great Android apps, and with DEX makes a more modern OS, it is about time to move beyond POSIX clones.

Precisely, .editorconfig has a project scope and is recognized by a multitude of IDEs and editors. Perhaps you should talk to the authors of .editorconfig to find out if what you want can be carried by their project.

I had to get past a captcha for automation and the solution I came up with was to always choose 2. If it was incorrect, just request a new captcha until it passed. For some reason, 2 was the answer most of the time so it actually rarely had to retry anyways
Somehow as I was reading this post, a mugshot of Ted Kaczynski appeared in the background.
That's just called an institutional loan. Also I don't think the top 50 wealthiest private universities need us to worry about their students' outcomes.
Thank you for taking the time to steel-manning this one!

If this were the situation I would expect the train to show operators clear warning messages that service is due, and ultimately a message that says something to the affect of the train has been disabled or put into limp mode until it is serviced. I wouldn't expect these triggers to disable a train to only be discovered later when, for example, a train won't start without warning or stops running when its parked at a different shop to have the service done. I also would expect the service warnings to be based on something like hours of operation rather than calendar time, all heavy equipment I've ever heard of or worked on tracks service schedules this way.

This argument also gets to a more common trend we've had in recent decades where those with authority step on others freedoms because they believe they know better. Individuals should be able to make their own choices and be responsible for the consequences. In this case, the train operator should be aware if the service needs and risks if it is missed. If anything goes wrong they are responsible for it. Even if the triggers to disable the train were put in with the best of intentions, if I were the manufacturer I would worry that installing such a system could potentially put me entirely liable for anything that goes wrong.
I used to think like this when younger, and perhaps this reasoning was actually more justified in the past. The older I get (and the more ubiquitous Apple devices have become) the more I cringe whenever I see an emotional response from technically minded people about Apple devices.

I think I saw someone on HN say that strong opinions are generally a sign of lower intelligence as there is a lack of consideration of both sides of the argument. I realise this comment now reads like copypasta but there is a lot more nuance than "Hurrdurr I don't want to be a mainstream normie Apple bad!".
Massive conflict of interest? You will not fail students and you will inflate grades much more than this is already done.

Also, education is for education not for job prospects. The fact that you want this to be the wrong way around is a very American perspective.
I actively fight for removal of lodash in every frontend codebase I encounter. The cost is just too much. Often I run into developers who tell me there's some sort of webpack plugin to treeshake all the `import _ from 'lodash';` nonsense. The truth is, when we run a bundle analyzer, it's still one of the biggest bloaters. Webpack is also becoming less common in newer codebases. The point is, while it provides a ton of convenience methods, there is a cost.
