I agree that React (or anything like it) is not the right choice for static content [0]. Islands are great too.

I disagree that React is fundamentally bad. React (et al) probably should not be used in 80% of the cases it is being used for, but it is plenty fast for 80% of cases it is reasonable to use. And yes, I read the author's links on the topic.

What I found to slow SPA type things (mostly built in React due to its popularity) to a crawl are ~bad~ terrible choices for UI libs, several (!) tracking libraries, badly loaded 3rd party assets, unoptimised images, ads, not using URLs properly, and a cascade of API calls. All of which independent of React, but much of it affordances of client-side fuckery.

Substack's comment handling is a dumpster fire, which you mostly don't notice on other substacks because (a) they hide almost all comments on a post by default (Scott got them to disable that for him because the comments are a big part of his blog), and (b) most blogs hosted there don't have a community the size of Scott's.

Open the network requests tab in developer tools and cry a little: they actually have an elegant system that would let them minimize the data churn needed to host exactly this size of comment thread, but instead it reprocesses the entire comment tree every time just about _anything_ happens on the page.

This isn't really on topic is it?
I recently went to a webpage that on landing it opened the cookie modal full page with a big "We Respect Your Privacy!" and all the cookies were listed and opted out. Which was really nice, then you scroll down to reveal the buttons and the big prominent button was "Accept All Cookies" and the other smaller button was the "Save Settings" button. They were all colors that blended so if you were going too fast you just wouldn't see the words against the background.

I was really just impressed by the lengths they went to to steal consent.
Curious what other languages were evaluated.
It’s such a convenient outcome that the banners annoy people in to giving /explicit/ consent (every non techie user I’ve observed just click “accept”, oath of least resistance), when before it was a quite a grey area, as I understand it, that you have to wonder if it’s more than just a happy coincidence.
> If there's any direct inspiration for the United States' EV policy, it's Norway. As the story goes, Norway introduced some compelling subsidies for EVs

Ah yup... Norway, sitting on gigantic oil reserves. Reserves so huge they could decide to just give the finger to the EU and not join. So huge there's a fund benefiting, AFAIK, all Norway citizens.

I'm not criticizing Norway. But citing Norway as some kind of EV posterchild is quite hilarious when it's their oil business subsidizing EVs.

Besides that the "heavier = bad for the road" (which TFA hints at) is pure non-sense: a regular car or a car twice the weight of the regular car will do exactly jack shit to damage the road. The damages are proportional to the root of the weight and it's the real heavy vehicles, like loaded semis at 80 000 pounds, that do damage highways and roads. It's not even clear if non-loaded semis even make a dent.

In Europe, on three-lane highways, the left lane (the fast one, where semis never drive) are never damaged. It's always the right lane and the middle lane (when trucks overtake) that are damaged.

An EV can be 1.5x the weight of a similarly sized ICE car: won't damage the road more. Doesn't even register.

It's a lie told by those who want, like the EU, to impose a tax on weight (because with EVs they see their gigantic taxes on gasoline/diesel go down the drain and they need to bleed people another way: so they're selling this made-up narrative that EVs do damage the road).

TFA has many flaws. Those ones plus the ones highlighted by other comments. A poor article.

P.S: FWIW I drive an ICE car but I don't think it's OK to beat on EVs like that...

This sounds more like anti-nuclear propaganda. Decommissioning a functioning nuclear reactor doesn't need to be more expensive than running it. You just unplug it, let it naturally cool down, and later you can figure out how to recycle the unspent fuel (or bury it deep enough, if people really demand it) at your leisure.

And if renewables really live up to the hype (I kinda hope it does, because otherwise it will get rather awkward for the climate), France can decide to install those fancy always-available renewables at that time, without going thru the pesky "We're being praised for our renewables while burning so much coal and gas!" stage Germany is famous for.

He dicusses techniques for this. one of which is a "migration" approach, similar to database migrations. Where, for example, you have a version number in your struct. and a function for migrating from an old version to a new version. I don't think he implements it in that video though.

I posted this visualization of mine in a recent thread on the Quadrantids, but sharing again because people seemed to enjoy it: https://www.meteorshowers.org/view/Quadrantids

It uses meteor data from NASA CAMS [1] to reconstruct the meteoroid cloud that creates the Quadrantids. When Earth passes through the cloud every year, we see a meteor shower.

Each particle in this visualization represents an actual meteor that burned up in the Earth's atmosphere. CAMS reconstructs the orbit of the meteor based on its entry trajectory by triangulating multiple recordings. CAMS is very cool!

I don't see why this matters. Whether they "give out corporations" or they regulate corporations, they can still choose to throw you in jail because they have power. Corporations should obey the law, but they should chase shareholder value.

That doesn't mean short-termism at all costs, which is what some people hear when that is said, but it means, say, if you're Disney don't release a string of movies that all lose incredible amounts of money. Or if you do, then senior management needs changing pronto.

1: It was more expensive than an equivalent gas car

2: Range anxiety is real

That sounds entirely reasonable, but you have to deal with a lot less engagement when you're teaching via blog post or similar.
> When those developers don't have to providing parking space anymore, people will still need cars but now have no place to put them at night.

If they have no place to put them, they won't have them, and if they don't have them, then either (1) they won't live there at all, or (2) they don't actually need them.

> This is the kind of move that should be done selectively

No, having parking requirements should be done selectively, if at all. If there is sufficient market demand, the requirements will be unnecessary to get developers to include them, if not, then the requirements are most often a harmful constraint that limits housing supply.

Most importantly, you can allocate voters to individual matchups… but you can’t make their political media consumption focus on that matchup.

It's really not. Profits are taxed. Losses are lost by investors. The environment should be protected by regulations, not by relying on good will. That way the boundaries are clear and companies can do what they do best: allocate resources efficiently, towards demand, within rules.
well, i think the issue is as least as much that the developers who create these architectures do not start from this pov ---

consider how these architectures would be designed if must-have condition was sub-100ms iteration -- which should be trivial all-but-for codebases of at least 1mil+ lines; them, well, maybe it's 200ms.

This design isnt hard -- what's hard about save_frame(), save_state(), or w/e, and restore_state()?

Only that it would need to be actively maintained and developed -- that is, it would obligate developers to tend to their own ability to work.

What i think here is lost is not, somehow a simple system which can be magic, but the concern of developers to maintain such systems.

Why? Certainly, many reasons. But my comment here today is more to frame the issue: this 'feature' can, and should, be part of ordinary development. It isnt that hard.

Even if save_frame() is no longer a register copy, but somehow, an obscene json serialisation process.

Maybe they should be? I suggested short stories as a way to practice and test the waters since they would work well with social media and aggregator sites, people are willing to read a short story they find on reddit or hn but much less likely to read a whole book. Keeping your “demos” short also requires less commitment and takes less time so you can do more of them. The idea isn’t to earn money from short stories but to do analytics on them in order to decide which to turn into a novel.
Having tried to get on board with and use paper prototypes for digital games I’d largely disagree with this. Unless the mechanics are complementary to a board game then you’re largely not going to learn anything useful working this way. I’ve found that even in the case of digital games that do have good parity you learn a lot more as soon as you ditch paper and start working in the native format. With the reflex case this just gets worse, as the prototype medium gets ever further from any congruence to what you want to make.

There’s just too much missing in what it feels like to play the game. From the affordances digital games have, to the feedback and automated book keeping.

The investment only pays off in areas with the tax base to recoup the upfront cost. Largely this isn't the suburbs or rural areas and only some parts of urban environments. Massive suburbs are built without the ability to maintain their infrastructure in the future based off of the taxes of its residents. There is an interesting image in this article (https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/1/9/the-real-reason...) which shows the areas of a city which earn a ROI and those which are just expenses. The poorer and denser parts of the cities are the only ones which pay for themselves (and thus everyone else).

> There are some remarkable things to note right off the top. When we added up the replacement cost of all of the city's infrastructure—an expense we would anticipate them cumulatively experiencing roughly once a generation—it came to $32 billion. When we added up the entire tax base of the city, all of the private wealth sustained by that infrastructure, it came to just $16 billion. This is fatal.

> It's obvious to me why this is fatal, but for those of you for whom it is less clear, let me elaborate.

> The median house in Lafayette costs roughly $150,000. A family living in this house would currently pay about $1,500 per year in taxes to the local government of which 10%, approximately $150, goes to maintenance of infrastructure (more is paid to the schools and regional government). A fraction of that $150—it varies by year—is spent on actual pavement.

> To maintain just the roads and drainage systems that have already been built, the family in that median house would need to have their taxes increase by $3,300 per year. That assumes no new roads are built and existing roadways are not widened or substantively improved. That is $3,300 in additional local taxes just to tread water.

> That does not include underground utilities (sewer and water) or major facilities such as treatment plants, water towers and public buildings. Using ratios we’ve experienced from other communities, it is likely that the total infrastructure revenue gap for that median home is closer to $8,000 per year.
At least for java, you can spin out a new class loader which intercepts all class loading tasks and basically shim the dynamic module from the permanent runtime platform very trivially. For unloading, you'll likely need conventions on how to shut it down cleanly to not leave a ton of garbage around. Want a new version? Spin up a new class loader, rinse and repeat. If you need stateful between versions, you clearly need to mindfully build a facade for that outside of the dynamic parts. This is all not hard, but not introductory either. That said, I basically wrote similar DLL loaders in my first year writing c so many decades ago, so shrugs.

The problem with a text search is that you have to get your keywords exactly right. With LLMs you ask inexact questions like 'has the topic of X ever been discussed?'[1] without needing to have an exact match on X. An LLM front end which could return references to the full text seems like the best use of both.

[1] For example, your query might have had X be 'crime' and the transcript would have references to multiple specific types of crime such as 'muggings', 'vandalism' etc. which a full text search isn't going to match. Further, with the LLM front-end you could refine the query to ask about violent crime etc.

Great progress, but the last 10% often takes 50% of the time.

Which triggers ranting...

Q: Why exactly are we stuck targeting cross-platform compatibility for every possible option in every possible tool?

A: Because there is no good way to check the impact of removing options or tools, or for migrating clients.

By this mechanism, "OS" and "core" features grow forever, and the convention-bound C ABI is, well, as close to forever as we get.

Rewriting in Rust does not help that one bit (nor is it supposed to).

Has no one written literate ABI interfaces that support static validation and backwards compatibility via shims and automatic migrations? Must scripting be such a drag on progress?

We do automatic migrations in databases all the time; we should be able to do it in code.
Possibly. But if they were tax-deductible from people, it'd be a nice downward pressure on more complex rules on getting money from people.

It'd be a good start!

It'll take a massive increase in public transportation infrastructure, and a long and slow redesign of our cities and how we live to fix the mess the auto-industry has put us in. It's a transition that's long overdue, but the reality of the situation now is that people still need their cars.

Making sure that people have something to fall back on before we take their cars away from them or remove the places they put them at night/charge them should be a priority. What these cities are doing is the opposite of that.
