Cool service! I like that it’s just HTML/CSS but the front end editor looks quite cool.

I also just open sourced part of my app that does PDF generation, but it’s completely bare bones.

I basically wanted a wrapper around the pdf generating part of chromium so that i could generate pdfs on pages within my own app.

Hi @kelvinzhang, the burger menu does not work on firefox for android
Ha! Even the checkers at my grocery store have problems with vegetables. Always a big lurch while menus are gone through and labels squinted at. Maybe a manager called.

Ok I buy Swiss Chard and persimmons and so on, the usual teenage checker has never seen them before, so maybe I'm having more trouble than most.

If you want to setup a zettelkasten like system for free, with minimal effort / requirement on any plugins (just "templater" will be helpful) I highly recommend https://reasonabledeviations.com/2022/04/18/molecular-notes-...

No affiliation, just a happy user for over a year now.

If you take kindle highlights when you read, the https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin plugin is amazing for auto generating source files with those highlights in (and other templated sections you wish to include in a review).
A very complex problem the deeper you investigate this, the less you seem to know. I've done it :)

If you look at who is doing it super well, like perhaps Japan? It's largely due to a 99.99% conviction rate on all crime accusations, which I take as a kangaroo court system, into penal labour. I don't think there's much to learn from there. Japan should stop their penal labour.

Switzerland, norway do a good job? Which came down to largely speaking a change about 10 years ago where people may live in the war fallout shelters but also a huge difference in labour laws. Mainly being no minimum wage. There's some brilliance to this, but not the entire answer. North america doesnt have these equivalent policies which isolate the squalid issues to another place. So often the social nets are located downtown and so they isolate these issues to their downtown. Moving the problem, isnt necessarily solving the problem.

You look at countries which have universal mental health care AND universal parental leave and supports. There's a huge correlation to solving these sorts of problems. Early childhood abuse reductions have huge impact toward criminality in general, including frivolous crimes like speeding and littering.

But then you look at the 'who is even responsible for cleaning up the mess' and generally speaking its the municipalities.

>But NYC’s problems only seem to be getting worse, especially for those who have the least.

I never researched NYC specifically back in the day but I am aware of what's happening there.

If you research Coleman Young's failures with detroit. NYC is basically following lockstep with how he failed detroit and caused the city of detroit's decline. Hows the saying go? Don't learn history and repeat it?

Thousands of years ago the political class figured out that the more control you apply to your populous, the more powerful you feel but the less actual control you have.

I cant point to any specific year for NYC but they've been in decline for at least a decade or more.

Basically what happens, the political class increases control, pushes out those who oppose and end up with increased support. They claim success. They rinse repeat. After a number of these cycles, the richer people who can afford to flee, have fled. Then you start getting tax hikes because they don't quite have the same tax base anymore.They dont blame themselves for the problem they caused.

So later on, you really struggle with your budget. NYC recentlyish announced deep cuts to police, education, libraries.

So NYC is deeply reducing the services they provide for what exactly? They take a percentage and have had many tax hikes.

Obviously, cleaning the squalor has already been cut. How many people just look at the tremendously high taxes and regulations, but then compare it to the now greatly reduced services. Where's all the money going? So you leave as well.

The only way NYC prevents their collapse is a huge reduction is their control. But politically that will never happen, so the squalor will increasingly get worse.
Some thoughts I had over the thesis that good writing is a symptom of good thinking
But if you're writing in English, or really any language, you should attempt to follow the rules of that language, especially if you want wide readership. Grammar rules might be arbitrary, but readers learn those rules and expect what they read to follow those rules.
First Israel "completely withdrew", now it didn't, but for good reasons.

There simply aren't justifications for using starvation against civilians, calling them animals and calling for their extermination, while IDF soldiers make videos rifling through the belongings of Palestinians to mock them, talking about colonization. "They" (Israeli hard right etc.) always wanted to take the land, so using the crimes of Hamas as an excuse to do just whatever, for just targeting infrastructure to make Gaza unlivable, as they so proudly describe in interviews, while repeating how it's all just self-defense is just too transparent.

> it's clear that this would have been a lot worse for Israel if the blockade wasn't there

You think? As they say, there is nothing scarier than a man without hope, and nobody is complaining about not letting weapons in. At least I am not.

There is the cost to Israel. You cannot commit and justify atrocities, dehumanize other humans completely, without getting deeply damaged yourself. As Chris Hedges wrote about comraderie (versus friendship), it feels great in war time, it's a high, for a while, but the comedown is really depressing and lonely.

And then there is the damage in the eyes of the world, which will keep trickling in for many years. The US, UK, Israel and Germany have no credibility right now except to each other and the usual vassals.
and it doesnt show the project language(s), the first thing i do when checking a repo on github is to check the languages used, and usually this help me decided whether or not i want to follow this project or not

ocaml, f#, clojure, zig, raku, array language --> insta follow

rust, smalltalk , lisp/scheme --> 50-50

python --> boooo , not gonna follow
The thanks.dev approach is great IMO. Tracing your project's entire dependency tree recursively and distributing money evenly to all projects is a great way to ensure that smaller/less visible projects also get some recognition.

These projects may be small, or you may not think about them because they are 1, 2 or more dependencies away, but they are still part of the success of the project/company/product.

(Note that I'm slightly biased here, as my project (Moto) has received funding from thanks.dev in the past (thanks to Sentry)).
I think many "clean" abstractions are about making a certain layer (horizontals) in a tech stack is clean, whereas functional parts in actual applications are most cleanly separated as functional verticals. But if you follow a clean vertical separation you will run into issues when horizontals (like common styling in a web-app or coherent network failures handling in many applications ) isn't handled cleanly.

For really clean applications you want your design to be a DAG, focusing on horizontals or verticals often leaves people with messes when you violate DAG constraints in the other direction.

What the author has issues with is that React frontend-monoliths would need extra machinery to work with separate compilation steps to allow separate building of verticals, with something like HTMX it's fairly loose (And separately worked on verticals can easily co-exist).

I think that this is part of the big divide between people who came from classic web-dev backgrounds and more latecomers from other domains (often manifested by the love or hate of DHH and his anti-TS/React stance).

Web-dev people would naturally land on writing verticals (one page = one task) and whilst their common abstractions could be horrible (SQL everywhere) they accomplished tasks well but cleaning up architectural messes could be bad.

Classic developers outside of web often saw applications, servers,etc (horizontals) as their main unit and made those clean, keeping the horizontal clean (like network failure handling) would influence design decisions (often at the expense of vertical concerns).

React allows for composability internally but often re-introduces issues on a larger scale, like your Redux store needs to know about parts from perhaps both user-admin and more application specific tasks. Now this is fine if it's a separately distributed application (like a mobile app) but people used to just handle one vertical at a time might feel that it's a lot of extra work other more contained cases.
This is a problem for all models, not just open models.
News articles are for clicks. If they could find an example of selling at a loss, they would have used that because it would get more clicks. The fact that they couldn't find one tells me that the allegations are likely to be false. The fact that googling "Amazon selling books at a loss" didn't turn up massive amounts of articles from anti-tech media companies also tells me that. The fact that selling books at a loss to drive out competition (which is, in fact, illegal) is not even mentioned in the anti-trust complaint against Amazon tells me that the allegations are false.

> That's a lot of variation and may explain why so many conversations about open source sound like people are talking past each other

Most of the discussion is people suffering through GitHub-style social networks. I don't see a lot of people talking through each other, as much as I see people assuming this is the way, and others pointing out it's just one option.

At some point we have to acknowledge that GitHub is a toxic social network. The toxicity is way more hidden than Facebook and others like it, but it's there too. Every universalist social network is toxic.
It is fair to the founder because they got enough funding to give an idea a shot. It is fair to YC because they get to roll hundreds of dice at once and don't have to care which specific die rolls a 6.

It is only unfair to people who don't understand the game, and think that being a founder, or getting funding is anything other than just being thrown into the dice rolls.
The act of checking is like a deterence, likely they found it lowered shoplifting by x %. If anyone works in that area, they probably was instructed to look like they check, and just dash it
That's the really curious thing: Model 3/Y is an objectively good EV. The software is vertically integrated and the most mature in the EV business, while VW has their CARIAD pants around their ankles. Why make wild claims about "Full Self Driving?"

I'll make a prediction about Starship: It will never be more economical than Falcon 9, and Mars colonies will not happen in this century and certainly not using Starship. A follow-on to Falcon 9 would have been more useful: A re-usable second stage, methalox engines, faster turnaround, etc.

If you are familiar with second system syndrome you might think Starship is a classic second system.
I came here to quote the same passage, except in my case, to agree with it.

It struck me as an excellent description of how it feels for me now to pick up a book, at least before I manage to stay with it long enough to settle into it and experience the multisensory panorama you speak of. Books are no less potent now, for me, but they are more impenetrable; there's a thicker shell of resistance to break through before I can have that experience; and Sam Kriss's words here describe it exactly.
Yeah but the hostility also comes from the fact these people feel rejected, that nobody cares about it or try to help them, and even makes fun of them.

Someone have to break the hostility cycle at some point.
What makes you think that the C-level is not packed with work?
Portugal introduced mandatory treatment along with decriminalization; that's the component that diverges quite substantially from North American policy.
This phenomena gets more interesting when you considering increasingly global markets for things like TV and movies. For example, I read about ten years ago (so I don’t have the source, sorry), that humor in big Hollywood movies has been transitioning from dialogue to visual humor because the latter is much easier to translate for a global audience.

Something I noticed before I found that article was also that, at least in my anecdotal experience is that older movies often had quicker moving dialog (characters talked faster, talked over each other, etc.). I’ve wondered if that’s been just a style choice or driven by the global market as well, since slowing dialog down makes it easier for non-native speakers to follow and presumably makes translation easier.
And even for that size it loads insanely slow, at least for me.
Right?! I'm excited for you and I hope you love it! I want that moment of walking out to my driveway, not really thinking about it, and seeing this thing and, for just a minute, thinking "Why is there a Warthog from Halo 1 sitting in my driveway?" haha

Enjoy!

Apple specifically forbids developers from mentioning the 30% cut in their apps. That means either the users pay more, the developers lose money, or they do what Netflix did and just force the user to figure out how to sign up (because you can't direct people to the site either). Apple has completely draconian rules that very specifically leave users in the dark about how app store revenue works. They are in no way transparent with 99% of their customers.
The existing mass. Currently there have 4.9 billion Bluetooth devices shipped. It might be shit, but it's the shit we have and know.

Wow ! I've been reading for a while from delta lake and Im interested in the company. Is there a chance to drop a CV for remote work (i am from spain).

The schema evolution is something that popped out in a water cooler conversation the other day in my team.
I've heard of a lot of that happening too. Tesla nav was also reporting a decent number of stalls out of order, so there were some outages as well.

TBH, it sounds like a lot of things going wrong (or even just weird) at once. In every report that I saw, there were at least some cars sitting unplugged in front of stalls with noone in them. Even if those were broken, when they get fixed they might need to tow cars to make them usable again!

You are definitely right though. Someone with a cold soaked battery could easily think the charger isn't supplying current, when it is really just running the battery heater for 30+ minutes first.

I used to have these complaints but the past 4-5 years have been smooth sailing for me. Perhaps I'm lucky. I use BT devices all day long (Bose QC35 II with Macbook, Pixel Buds Pro with Google Pixel 4 and more recently 7 Pro). Have to confess I rarely use BT in combination with Microsoft Windows though.
4: I’ve also experienced stuttering audio with a Bluetooth headset while moving (jogging). I am almost positive this is a hardware issue though due to poor build quality (intermittent short or open circuit). That’s not something I’ve really experienced with more reputable manufacturers (Sony, Bose for example).
Motor oil does not provide lubricity until it starts flowing into the engine. One of the worst things you can do to an ICE is consistently start it at negative temperatures.

The Nintendo 64 was very advanced for its time.
Yea, I thought about that too. I know there are some sketchy websites that provide paid access to leaks, but I was hoping for a course of action that is more legitimate.
Both progressives and conservatives should be able to agree that Marx is the perfect figurehead for the left. For the left, he's the patron saint of economic progress; for the right, the patron saint of unintended consequences.
First your point was about Ukraine, now you're on US atrocities Latin America and SE Asia. Yeah, the US did that. I don't think they needed nuclear weapons to do it. I don't know what point you're trying to make.
As an immigrant to the USA I'd be really happy to work for MIC without leaving the tech industry (I'm too selfish to accept lower salary + move to the East Coast + deal with, presumably, a huge bureaucracy).

Atomic bomb still hasn't leaked beyond ~10% of the countries and many had to do it ~from scratch, so it's not a very good example. The choice with AI is either make one, or wait for it to leak from those who do anyway.
I'd be glad to read more about this - which countries do you mean?
This is quite funny, because I feel the same about what you are saying. The way I understand you is that a seller of the product should grant any third party extensive access to that product, so that the third party can modify and implement their own services in any way they see fit. Frankly, this is completely shattering the idea of business relations as we know it. By your logic no proprietary store or platform SDK should ever exist (e.g. console SDKs should be free for all developers). What's more, extending this argument software itself should be moldable at will (I bought the app, I have the right for it to be modified in any way I please).

I mean, it's not that I would oppose this ideology in particular, it just sounds a bit radical. We'd have to change quit a lot of things for it to be feasible.
This seems a remarkably dumb take for someone with a reputation of smartly interpreting polls for a living.

Well said, this is what I was getting at as well. I think the barrier to contribution was too high in the old days, and that is where GitHub brought improvements, but it came with the loss of community. Everything becomes about PR's and Issues and Discussion was just lost. In the Apache community, the expectation used to be that everything had to happen on the mailing list. Even if someone created an issue, there was an expectation it had to come out of a mailing list thread.

I am not saying this was perfect or even better. Just that the side effects were different. Probably a lot of people did not bother contributing because the barrier was too high, but overall I think it created healthier community dynamics and it was not uncommon to see people begin as users asking questions, and evolve into users answering questions and eventually contributing to the development.
Polish here. We have nowadays similar political situation to US. 2 major fractions on political scene. And also the support for both is oscillating at very similar level. So both of them when in power use every legal means to overpower the other because even tiny bits of votes matter to win next elections. TVP is just a national TV broadcaster with government being major (or only) stakeholder. So new gov, means "new owners", means "new order" at that company. Was exactly same with previous gov.

I already know actual people who had their jobs cut due to a company downsizing their department to almost nothing, having the remaining employees using AI to do the work that used to require a much larger team.
I feel like you’re getting more worked up here than the situation requires.

If you took offence at the original comment where I said you appeared to be playing games by ignoring something I’m sorry.

I am however asking that you present some kind of rebuttal rather than trying to make this a thing about polite discourse on the internet.

I made specific points, you came in talking about unrelated points, I pointed out that your reasoning had a major hole in it and now we are in a conversation nobody wants to be a part of.

Let’s just say we both understand why an install prompt and printing a web page aren’t the same thing because I think we covered that ground already.

To get it back on track, I’m saying that they don’t belong together and that when you listed all that other random set of actions people could do that appear in the same screen that this illustrates the point I’ve been trying to make from the start.

If the argument is “oh that’s just iOS, it’s totally innocent and how could you ever seen anything nefarious there” then make that argument but as discussed, it has major holes.
Yep, reddit is probably pretty close and I use it more than google these days or just add "reddit" in the search.
I've had pretty good luck with BT -

Apple's stuff largely just works - provided everything you want to use is Apple.

I use non-Apple headphones with my work Windows box, and that just works as well - connecting takes longer on Windows boxes, not sure why.

My primary use case is BT Audio Peripherals, but I've used it for a mouse, and for programming/pairing devices to a network as well, with nary an issue.
We had 14 regional / internal to the US airlines in the 80's. We had 10 airlines in the '00's. We have basically 4 or 6 national / regional airlines now.

"JetBlue's biggest problem remains their access to airports, if they were able to get more access to that they would likely be a serious threat to the bigger airlines."

That is like 'Their political party is cheating, we need to cheat bigger to win". That is leaning in to making the situation more and more rigged, more and more of a failed market / system.

I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to go read about how less players in a market bad for competition. Matt Stoller is a good place to start.

JetBlue can bid for slots at an airport, like anyone else. If bigger airlines are blocking them, lets fix that market to be competitive, NOT "let's help the market degrade into Oligopoly faster".
