> It's not a miracle, it's extremely fortunate.

Depends on your definition. From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miracle

miracle

1. an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs
the healing miracles described in the Gospels

2. an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment
The bridge is a miracle of engineering.

3. Christian Science : a divinely natural phenomenon experienced humanly as the fulfillment of spiritual law

Most of the people surviving an event where they would have been expected to die certainly qualifies as "an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment".

The paradox of tolerance is an issue to consider, but not necessarily a situation to avoid. Regardless of whether and when it's reasonable to call certain policies "tolerant of X" or "intolerant of X" or "intolerant of anti-X", the policies are value judgements, just as critical comments toward the policies are value judgements.

RawJS library author here.

$.append appends, in the name ".append".

Though

The point of RawJS is to help with element constructions. jQuery was a god-send back in the day for manipulation and querying (before we had document.querySelector()) but constructions of hierarchies were never really its thing.

There are other libraries that work like RawJS to make complex DOM constructions with function calls. I just don't think the ergonomics of them were as well thought-out as it is in RawJS.
It is certainly a place to start! Although in this case I never heard of a developer wanting to build a parking structure on their own (and don't know if existing code would have prevented them). It was always the city wanting to build an adjacent parking structure as part of revitalization efforts to extend the success of that neighborhood further down the street.

The only reason this could possibly seem blurry at all is if you approach it with the baffling prior that celebrities selling out their trust is a good thing that should be allowed to happen at any cost, and work backwards from there.
Would recommend verifying their charges yourself, people tell you this so you don't go peeking around. It's often a cover for a significantly more serious act.

Move to a different country.

I'm in an EU country and it's really rare to see a company do any background checks at all. Be honest, if/when you're asked about it of course - but just from personal anecdotal experience, it's rare that somebody even bothers to ask.

Not trying to be crude, but is someone passing away after a long, rich life of 89 years something to mourn? Isn’t that kind of the best case scenario?

For me something like a black banner signifies a tragedy, not merely a death. A bunch of children being shot, a war, a disease ravaging a country, etc.

I’m curious to learn others’ perspectives however.
If this is a step on the road to wasm being the primary target for packaging applications (without a docker image + x86 emulator intermediary)...

Then I am all for it.
Some people say that it doesn't matter if someone dies at age 89 -- after they have lived a full life and contributed all they had to give -- it's still just as sad and shocking.

Personally, I don't agree, to me it's just not as sad or shocking. People don't live forever and Wirth's life was as successful and complete as possible. It's not a "black day" where society truly lost someone before they fulfilled their potential.
Not trying to be a dick, but if one has driven on a roundabout the issue is somewhat obvious - hence my comment above.

The flip side is retail workers get worked to death.

Around here the only day retail is closed is Dec 25, every other day is open.

I have not worked in retail for so long, maybe they prefer the opportunity to make more money I don't know.

It would not really change anything for me.

It's a seemingly never-ending scandal that in the United States the remedy for infringing on workers' rights to take collective action is a notice posting ("[management] won't infringe on your rights again") or a make-whole order ("you will get back pay and reinstatement months or years after being fired in retaliation").

Firms won't change their behavior until they face stiff financial penalties, much as they would for violating the rights of investors or other property owners. The vast majority of people live through wage work; their rights shouldn't take a back seat to those of the owning classes.
> You have to stare at the light for a couple of seconds to confirm the light is blinking because the person is signalling, and not because they tapped their brakes and you only saw a change.

I've been driving a long time, and this hasn't ever been a problem in my experience. If someone taps the brakes, both lights come on. So the only time there is ambiguity is when a brake light is burned out. Not especially common now that everyone has been switching to LEDs.

And if it takes a couple seconds to blink, something is very wrong with the car.
We have small, usable quantum computers and have grown them for years.

We have never had fusion power on a small scale (we have had fusion ignition/reaction, but never [afaik] generated usable power), let alone showed continuous growth in scale of that power over the years.

They're not the same. Fusion is a 'science' problem, quantum is (mostly) an 'engineering' problem.

I'm not sure I have what it takes to bootstrap a b2b. It's why I like working with others. I literally enjoy helping other people solve problems. I was an SRE two positions ago and I took on the IT role for an extra 5k/year. and I happily answered calls to change peoples passwords, because it was a small company. and everyone really respected each other. everyone was grateful. I had cards all over my wall that people sent me, thank you cards. covering half of it by the end. this is what I need in life, all I need.

picoliter accuracy is impressive!!!

What's your precision (dispense coefficient of variation) like? When I was working with automated pipettes, we found that in order get down to single-microliter precision we had to "touch off" on the dispensing surface to use surface tension to pull the last drop off consistently. However, our aspirate/dispense ranges were pretty wide -- around 15uL to about 50mL from the same device.

In the U.S. and most of Europe, you have a right to join with your coworkers criticize management decisions that impact your wages or working conditions. Criticizing a particular executive is part of that right, if there is a nexus to your conditions. That's what the regional official found in this case.

So part of this is the cart-horse inversion.

We have minimum parking requirements that produce an oversupply of parking, therefore parking is cheap, therefore building parking garages is unprofitable. If you don't mandate them, the cost of parking will increase until building parking garages is profitable, and then people will build parking garages (or have fewer cars, in places where that's practical).

This doesn't even increase costs. Right now someone is paying $3000/month for a $2500 apartment and a $500 parking space. Without the parking requirements you could get a $2500 apartment for $2500 and choose whether you want to pay the extra $500 for the parking space.

Not only that, this would make it cheaper to build more apartments, so then the $2500 apartment drops to $2250 from lower scarcity, which reduces the cost of apartment+parking space as well by not force-allocating a parking space to someone who can do without a car and leaving more for the people who can't.
> PWA install experience is nice and easy on desktop, you're right.

Cool, I've only tried on mobile myself. Here's the iOS experience for anyone who hasn't tried PWApp stores: https://imgur.com/a/2VMbvOp

> …on mobile, especially on iOS, PWA capabilities are crippled. I say this with some authority, having worked on Microsoft's PWABuilder including its iOS platform.

Great project, nice to meet you! I don't think I've hit these pain points as a user. What's your "top 3" of what Apple needs to do to make PWA installation suck less for iOS users?

As a developer, I expect I would do exactly what you recommended in 2021 (https://blog.pwabuilder.com/posts/publish-your-pwa-to-the-io...), which is to distribute web apps on the App Store proper (using PWABuilder, Capacitor, etc.) instead of as a PWA for the benefits (discoverability, "normal" installation experience) you note. Is that still good advice from your perspective?

5x5 starts with the empty bar precisely so you can work on form before it gets heavy
Such a naive take. I suspect you haven't spent much time in bad neighborhoods where there's a high chance that the "weak" looking person approaching on the sidewalk is strapped. You don't show some mutual respect and you're likely to get shot.
This is a "throwaway" account for obvious reasons.

I did some terrible things when I was 19 that I won't go into details, but after working as a developer for a few years, served a six-year sentence from 2003-2009.

Upon release, I leveraged some old contacts to get a bit of contracting work. In time I found more contracting work, mostly working for smaller companies on a 1099 basis. (direct, not through a firm) In time a local contract turned into a job, and I've been with the company since. I'm the lead developer and own the entire stack, from the cloud to the front-end. I've made myself very valuable to them, and earn an income that's well over market (early on they offered me a percentage of profits as compensation)

I still continue to do contracting on a small basis (small companies tend to not bind you with onerous terms keeping you from doing so). Some of them I've even found on HN.

Anything involving a background check is a no-go. Most traditional employment situations, especially with "big" companies is a no-go. Sometimes you have to hustle a bit more, but honestly, I feel like owning your career with an entrepreneurial mindset is something everyone can benefit from.

Most of my clients have no idea about my past. A few have learned, but it didn't disqualify me. I was transparent when asked.
I think yes. Too much focus on psychological safety makes it really hard to correct unhelpful behaviours
5x5 starts with an empty bar, not ultra heavy weight, on day 1. Eventually you get to 5-rep max (if that is what you are calling “ultra heavy”) but it takes a while to get there
I live in Portland, Oregon, and my house has a city bus stop with service every 15 minutes literally around the corner. If you walk 3-5 blocks, you can access 2 more bus lines, and if you're willing to go 10 blocks you can get to half a dozen more. We have light rail (Trimet MAX) and the Portland Streetcar with just over a mile walk. It's one of the reasons we moved where we did. I work for Google, and Google Portland gives me a free unlimited transit pass, as our office is located on the downtown transit mall. I've literally never driven into the office; a 20 minute bus ride with less than a 2 block walk is incredibly nice.

My family takes transit all the time; I have 3 teens old enough to get their licenses and none of them have put much effort into learning how to drive because they can get around well enough using transit.

If you talk to our Baby Boomer neighbors, though, you'd think that the second you step foot on a bus or train you'll immediately be assaulted by violent junkies. We do have a big unhoused problem here (like everywhere) but my neighbors seem to think transit is only for the poor; it's sad, really, as many of them are getting to the age where they really shouldn't be driving.

You really can't average a wide area though, parking is a highly localized and cyclical problem set. During the night, most people will be at home, and during the day, most people will be at work. Your city will increase in population during the day as commuters from the suburbs commute to work. Events will happen in your city which will cause huge outliers in the demand for spaces.

Incoming monopoly. Already exists but it's now just gonna get worse. All your comms belong to starlink.

On one side yay Telstra and Optus can go jump as they finally have some competition. On the other hand their competition outperforms them so heavily we are gonna end up under a monopoly exporting fat gdp out of the nation via starlink. We're probably worse off in the long run with the monopoly.

I wonder if any one has contemplated how easy it would be to knock out a run of starlink sats and toss a region into comms blackout in future years as reliance grows? Probably could be don't with a semi trailer truckload of balloon drones.
I also noticed that S3-FIFO was the one approach that didn't seem to improve when SIEVE was added in.

The aviation industry doesn't usually reduce incidents down to a single proximate or ultimate cause like that, but instead notes every decision/event that contributed to the incident occurring. And then they usually spend time on how they can reduce the likelihood of such an event reoccurring at every single point in that chain. It appears that the coast guard plane lined up on the runway to prepare for takeoff instead of holding short of the runway as instructed and the JAL pilots did not see that their runway was not actually clear until it was too late to avoid a collision (if they saw the other plane at all).

From the JAL plane's perspective, automation is only as good as the sensors and logic which would be checking for if a runway is actually clear. Regardless of whether extant solutions are better than humans right now or will be better in the future, those solutions will still have a same failure mode as humans, which is suddenly realizing a runway that appeared to be clear actually isn't clear when it is too late to abort.

From the coast guard plane's perspective and from the controller perspective, automation and warnings might have been able to alert or prevent, however, automation can't just be thrown around as a solution without deep knowledge of the system and environment in which it will work. The main reason for this is ensuring that the transition between automated-control and human-control is clearly evident to the humans involved, that it occurs with enough time for the human to actually be able to avert a problem, and that the human is actually ready to take control. If the automated system silently disengages, a plane with permission to take off from a runway will instead just sit on the runway because the pilot assumes the automation will begin takeoff as expected, which brings us right back to a plane on the runway when it shouldn't be there and a landing plane not seeing it until it is too late. It is actually possible to land a plane purely with automation (military drones do it all the time), however that isn't done on commercial aircraft, because the constraints are so tight that if the automation were to fail for any reason there is a large chance the human pilot would be unable to prevent a crash even when perfectly monitoring the system (and perfect monitoring can't be assumed).
The NSA had a hardening guide you could download for free and deploy on a Windows system if you so desired.

Following all of the advice in the document was an excellent way to end up with a completely useless system. Worse, thanks to Windows horrible logging infrastructure it was almost impossible to figure out exactly what change was causing a particular bit of breakage. You never EVER get an error message that reads anything like "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ramdisk" : Permission Denied reading key "StartOverride", service halted".

Instead it is some generic "the system failed to start" message that doesn't help at all.
