I don't know about your thorium power plant but Tesla is giving you battery tech, and John Deere (~2B$ in R&D) is essentially giving you a fleet of robot farmers.

These are not flying cars, but batteries that are 5 times cheaper in 10 years is impressive. I don't know much about farming but it looks like now, tractors do most of the job, and the guy in the cab is just checking to see if everything goes well. Farmers are still needed, be we need less and less of them for bigger and bigger fields.
There must be. I posted a similar comment. I can't stand the taste of celery (tastes like grass and paint$ or cilantro (tastes like soap), and carrots also have a hint of soapy taste to my palate. Otherwise, I love all vegetables and cook often.

What is the nature of the human experience? Humans are animals, so it’s all just biology, right? But biology is just a bunch of chemicals, chemistry is just the proclivities of atoms, physics is just one possible instantiation of a set of mathematical systems, mathematics is just a game of logic, logic is just a type of thought crystallized in language, language is just the social emission of human culture, and humans are just biology.

I spend a lot of time thinking about tenancy and how to handle it. Tenancy is such a common problem.

Performance is the number one reason tickets are hard to estimate. The second in my experience is security.

Look to the US not Germany. Many immigrant communities stayed with the old German and stript long after Germany had moved on. My dad was in high school when his church switched to English as the last German only menber died.

don't assume this is German just because everyone calls it German. There are/were seneral 'low German' dialects. my grandpa never could understand natives when he toured Germany because all he knew was 100 year old German. (based on stories since he died I suspect he would have had little problem understanding Dutch)

We know there are differences within countries, but those differences tend to get exaggerated since you live in them. Even in European countries people tend to say "People from city X are very brash, people from city Y are very warm and welcoming", so they know that even though they consume the same news, speak the same language etc things can be different. Or they say "People from area X are very racist, area Y is very liberal".

But we also know that there are much bigger differences if you cross many national borders and language barriers by going to the other side of Europe, they too will have those micro differences but when going there you also get many major macro differences.

Maybe think of it as reason for a confidence boost: that this awesome person seems to want to be with you? So try to be a little comfortable and more confident with that, so you're less likely to smother or come across as insecure?

Some people need to be told the opposite. They find someone and get too cocky, take the person for granted, or even lose interest because the great person was found too easily (and emotion-stupidity is implying to them, if it was too easy, then they could do better).

It looks like the simulated a truly massive installation, which they note is interesting but a bit unrealistic.

This seems, though, if anything (and, of course maybe it is nothing), to be an argument for not putting all of the panels in one desert. Which is fine. Actually it would be nice to put renewables everywhere so regions can be energy-independent.

Heliocrafts – Community Crafted Web Components to Elevate Your Next Website
Hello HN Community!

I'm reaching out to share something I believe could really enhance our web development practices. Have you ever been deep into a project and realized you're spending too much time building a component that probably exists somewhere? This is a common scenario I've encountered, and it sparked an idea - Heliocrafts.

Heliocrafts isn't just a platform; it's a community-driven initiative where we, as web developers, can both contribute and benefit from a diverse array of pre-built web components. Imagine having a resource where you can quickly find a component that fits your needs, customize it with ease, and integrate it into your project. This could significantly cut down on development time, allowing us to focus more on innovation and less on reinventing the wheel.

But Heliocrafts is more than just a time-saver. It's a place to learn from each other. Every component shared is an opportunity to see how others solve common problems, offering insights into different coding styles and approaches. It's about building a knowledge-sharing community as much as it is about sharing code.

I'm really excited about the potential of Heliocrafts to transform our everyday work. I envision it growing into a vast, rich library of components contributed by developers from all walks of life, each bringing their unique perspective and expertise. This diversity is what will make it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced developers alike.

I encourage you to visit heliocrafts.com, take a look at the components already available, and consider contributing your own. Your feedback, suggestions, and contributions are what will shape this into a tool that truly serves the needs of our community. Let's collaborate and innovate together!
I'm sorry, but I've got to call this out as woefully inaccurate.

> [...] so you can handle the event loop in a sane way.

The whole point of an immediate-mode framework is that the call-stack acts as the event loop. You run through your UI code, and if a thing was interacted with on the previous frame, you just handle it. What about that setup is not sane?

> [...] instead of just smashing everything into one form [...]

There is nothing about immediate mode that makes it more or less able to have everything 'smashed into one form'. You can do that just as well with your retained-mode framework of choice.

> The trouble comes from not componentizing things

This also has nothing to do with the immediate vs. retained mode discussion. You could just as easily make a giant mess in retained-mode by not making reusable components.

> once you start dealing with multiple application views that conditionally show/hide, with branching flows of any kind [..]

In my spare time, I work on a game engine whose editor/debug UI is completely immediate mode. There are discrete views into nearly everything in the engine. Entity data, a color picker, memory and CPU performance views, asset viewers/pickers, a terrain editor with like 10 modes.. you name it. There are plenty of conditionally shown views. There is plenty of 'componentizing' of things going on. The editor UI is in the neighborhood of 10k lines, most of which is generated. If that's below your bar for quick-n-dirty, maybe we have different opinions on what qualifies.
I can't answer definitively, but I was looking for SFP cards recently and the older cards don't really support ASPM. The cards themselves aren't power hogs, but they keep the CPU from going into lower states during idle.

The cheapest one I found that others related had ASPM actually working was the Intel X710, and those are much more expensive than the ConnectX-3.
What happened to GE? Simple. Jack Welch killed the golden goose. During his tenure he shifted focus and money away from long-term R&D in the name of boosting quarterly profits. Product development took a back seat to selling "services", i.e. focus more on selling contracts around maintaining your turbines than you do on developing and manufacturing good turbines in the first place. I won't even get into the heavy borrowing and use of GE Capital to turn the company into a casino that happens to make a few things on the side.

Put another way, if you took every shortsighted MBA-driven business fad of the 80's and 90's and turned it into a person, you'd get Jack Welch. Sadly, his methods were very very good at juicing short to medium term profits, so firms all over the U.S. were quick to copy his methods, which did more damage to American innovation than any foreign power could dream of.

> Probably you are facing "Sütterlin"[4], which differs quite a bit from modern german handwriting.

My mother in law (and her mother) wrote everything in Sütterlin and I found it rapidly became pretty easy to read, though that also could be because I only encountered it from a small number of hands.

OTOH I find older Handschrift and Fraktur print (we have a bunch of old books in that) basically illegible.
The trick is to use the bend of your hand as a mold for each side. I’m sure there’s a multitude of YouTube videos showing how.
This might be one case where a very long term look (43 years) is misleading. "Last 10 years" might be more instructive.

Cars have gotten much better. Back in 1980 it was very unusual for a car to go 100,000 miles.

This data suggests Newsweek has a non-story: the number of carless households has not gone up at all.

https://www.thezebra.com/resources/research/car-ownership-st...

Perhaps a lot of car sales were actually additional cars for a household that already had one or more, and now that desire has been satiated.
>everything's going better now because fewer people die from pneumonia now than a hundred years ago. You're missing the bigger picture.

I'm not talking about pneumonia though, and surely the bigger picture is that the average person in the world is better off today than they were before?

I think the mechanism that caused that has billionaires as a side effect, which is hard to eliminate without also eliminating the thing that makes everyone better off.

>An average young person is now much less likely to afford housing than the generation before them and even less likely then their grandparents. What does that mean to you?

To me it means that the housing markets in many countries are poorly regulated and speculation fueled by low interest rates have inflated prices.
> Pretty much all of the bodies sphincters and regulated ‘pipes’ (including circulatory, GI, respiratory) either constrict (muscles tense) or dilate (muscles relax). Often there is minimal/no counter acting structure except perhaps for some ligaments/support structure, and the ‘opening’ force is provided by another means.

> Confusingly, the optical pupils are the other way around

There is no muscular action involved in constricting the pupil?

My understanding is based on what I was taught about how muscles work - specifically, that they can be in one of two behavioral states:

1. The muscle is trying to tense.

2. The muscle is not trying to tense.

Along with a continuum of physical states:

A. The muscle is fully contracted.

B. The muscle is fully extended.

As far as I was taught, muscles cannot extend themselves; some external force, most commonly another muscle, needs to draw them away from their (perhaps partially) tensed state. (And in the case of a cramp, this process fails because the muscle is still actively tensing.) Hence, as you just noted, the opening of the alveolar ducts is driven by tensing in the diaphragm. Or, when food passes from the esophagus into the stomach, what's happening is that muscles in the esophagus are tensing above the food to force it downward.

> Albuterol acts directly on bronchial smooth muscle forcing it to relax

So the immediate question prompted by my model here would be "does albuterol force the muscle to lengthen [a change in the physical state of the muscle], or does it stop the muscle from resisting as other processes lengthen it? [A change in the behavioral state.]"

> Ah, is your objection to the mixed terms, or to the intent of the poster? Or not an objection and a curious question? It can be hard to tell here.

My objection is to the fact that if you tell me a muscle is dilating, I have no idea what that means. Dilation isn't a concept that applies to muscles, whether in a direct or a metaphorical sense. Muscles, to the best of my knowledge, do not have any behaviors that it would make sense to describe as "dilating". Dilation refers to a hole getting larger, while muscles are unlike a hole in that they exist and occupy space, and they can't get larger, only smaller.
I'll probably catch heat for this, but I think Windows 95 was the pinnacle of UI/UX design, and much of what we've done since have been regressions.
> Yes and?

At the time, USB was still limited to 12 megabits per second and transferring that same 5 Gigs of MP3 files would have taken over an hour. The firewire iPod did it in a couple of minutes.

We now expect instant messaging apps to support:

* Video and voice calls, including group calls

* Inline images and video

* Screen sharing

* Clients on every OS and the web browser, they should all look pretty much exactly the same and be updated at the same time

* and a whole bunch of other random stuff like in app image editing, payment processing, etc

I'd say the biggest hit to memory usage and performance is just all the inline images and videos. IRC may have been super lightweight and fast, but people expect more of programs now. Electron/web tech was also pretty heavy, but releasing a native Windows app and maybe later a half done MacOS version is no longer acceptable. You _have_ to support windows, mac, linux, android, ios, and web. All of these versions _must_ have the full feature set and look the same.
We’ll see how it compares but also a single technical success does not make a successful business, and it doesn’t replace a strategy.

OpenAI has a ton of interest right now but is also losing a lot of money annually, and a lot of AI products are hitting pain points around reliability and security which are going to require significant advances to overcome. Google appears to be flailing around trying to find something which will work, and given how much of this technology they invented that is really a strong argument for better management.
Egregiously bad. Remember wannacry?
What are the typographical errors? I didn't think it had any.

It does use features of C89 that may not compile after C99, but those aren't weird.

But, as someone who actually did try to use K&R to teach themselves to program, I agree it's not ideal for that. It's definitely not the best programming book ever, which some people say. The exercises are pretty good, though.
It's a pre-increment operator. If it was called ++C you'd have a point :)

I just don't understand how someone could have been working in C++ and not picked up the largest changes even just by osmosis. My code-based "upgraded" to C++11 about a year ago, but I can still read C++17 and am not intimidated by C++20 fragments. YMMV I suppose.
It sounds great until you need a centralized billing database and then you might want to just stick with postgres rather than run two kinds of database.

Does anyone have ideas on how to solve that? Not to mention complicating migrations. Unfortunately sqlite-based product docs seem to end right before getting to the hard stuff. Or perhaps I missed them.

Memory can still be observed. Encrypted content in memory cannot.
The baseline difference seems to be the difference between organizing GUI elements as stored method+field entities, vs. dynamically combined function+argument entities.

It is a lot like the difference between greedy and lazy execution.

Which code style is best depends on the structure of the items it is applied to.

--

With 100 different views, respectively over 100 different items to be viewed, storing 100 view+item pairs as objects is both general and efficient.

With 10 different views, repeatedly over 10 different items to be viewed, there are still 100 interface elements. But repeatedly joining view and item information at draw time provides a 10x space/object savings. And allows for other code simplifications.

--

General takeaway: Pre-compiled general libraries, that cannot be treated as inlined compile-time optimizable templates (in the code context where the templates are applied), will be inefficient and overbuilt for cases with more structure and simplicity than they were designed for.
Haha yeah.

But no, I was thinking of places like interstate 5 (the main north south freeway) which is often a struggle of trucks passing trucks and cars passing trucks and cars passing cars in a completely absurd 2 lanes of traffic in each direction. Nominally 70 / 55 speed limit but nobody drives at these speeds.

And this is one place where a few trucks driving slower than the other trucks would certainly cause extra mayhem.
> Since Beeper main product is a multi protocol messaging app and iMessage is the only protocol that resists them,

That’s absolutely not true though. Discord is incredibly hostile to third-party clients today for example.

https://twitter.com/discord/status/1229357198918197248?lang=...

Can’t log into Xbox live or PS5 messaging with a third party client either I’d expect. It’s not an unusual ask for a “secure” system - even if they provide a web interface they certainly don’t let you pretend to be a fake Xbox and create an account and then connect some third-party crap that continues to pretend to be an Xbox.

Hell didn’t Microsoft just crack down on third party headsets of all things? You really, really think they’re ok with you spoofing a whole Xbox on their network?

https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-bans-unauthorized-third-p...

Hell even AIM and MSN would try to break Gaim and ban users who used it back in the day - they just weren’t starting from a good enough place to be very successful at it.

https://m.slashdot.org/story/13509

That’s the overall problem is the world doesn’t quite work the way people remembered it. AOL was never happy about Gaim, Xbox and Sony and discord carry on this legacy today. If you simplify the issue even further: Google isn’t going to leave an open smtp relay if you find a way to spoof it, they certainly aren’t going to let you run a commercial service reselling it.

The whole “but nobody EVER fought against adversarial interop or banned users for using it!” before schtick is objectively not how the world worked or works and I think most of the people saying it understand that perfectly well, it’s just an angle for them to press the attack.
Section 174 is about to change that…
