Americans don't realize how bad they have it, lack the courage and wisdom to organize effective protests about it, and the very rich have rigged the political and government structures to avoid investment in anything not for them.

Unfortunately, this means turning America into a grossly-unequal banana republic that includes either malicious neglect or malicious disadvantaging groups without power or influence. A proper response would be organized, collective action by those who are most at risk and impacted led by leaders with specific, actionable demands but, unfortunately, there is no appetite and the same Americans lack balls. The result is continued shrugging by some, squalid misery for others, stressful struggling for more, and easy privilege for a few.
Keeping the url in sync can be done by tracking whether the request has the `HX-Request` header in it and then returning either a partial template or the full the template, example of the helper - https://github.com/Austionian/bl0g/blob/46182cf762e9acefc35e...

The great part of this, too, is caching these responses is still simple with the a `Vary: HX-Request`
I would filled up twice on a trip between Ottawa and Quebec City in a gasoline car in the winter. Never let your tank get below 50% in case of emergency, and there's no such thing as a "destination charger" for ICE's.
> I won't be defending Nintendo because their issue with joy-stick drifting, their unwillingness to fix their design flaw, and their constant efforts to stop video game preservation really pisses me off.

I think this criticism is a little misguided.

1. Joy-con drifting doesn't happen much with newer Joy-cons. Nintendo also repairs all Joy-cons for free now - even ones that aren't drifting. Break a button? Damage the rubber top of the Joy-con? They fix those free too, and even pay all shipping costs. We might as well bring up the Xbox Red Ring incident, or the PS5 having melting USB ports.

2. "Their unwillingness to fix their design flaw" - as already stated, it already has been mostly fixed through subtle changes. Sure, there's no big announcement of a specific revision that has no issues, but that would be begging for a class-action lawsuit (the reason why companies can never admit guilt publicly - or they've already lost). Also, if they were to announce that "revision X has no issues," and then it developed issues eventually like all non-Hall sticks do, another lawsuit.

3. "constant efforts to stop video game preservation" - You've surely never seen Sony or Microsoft's efforts then. They are more subtle and skilled, but don't think for a second they don't have the same goals. I actually think Microsoft is the most insidious character; for making consoles that cannot be set up without internet, combined with "backwards compatibility" for "preservation" that also does not work without internet.
I don't think such escalation is necessary here.

the incurious don't learn at the same rate as the curious, we can acknowledge that without making wild claims about how the whole of society needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
I would like to understand enough about law, governments and the postal service to assign blame here, but I'll just say that it's really fucking sad that this is still in any way ongoing after being known about for so many years. This shouldn't have needed to be publicised in such a way before the wheels of justice started turning. I remember hearing about this several years ago and thinking "Jesus, that's rough. Technology sure ruins lives." And now I'm hearing about the (still ongoing) situation in 2024 and I no longer blame the tech. It's all people. People are awful.
My only experience with -40C was in Harbin where my cell phone and camera battery died quickly. This was back in 2006 though, and I’m guessing the batteries were just not ready for it.
Good comment. I worked in USA 25 yrs ago and experienced this. The key thing I think, as you alluded to, is do it for a limited time. If you're in a country which makes it hard to stay for good, or you deep down know you wouldn't want to if you could, then it's a temporary adventure and in the end the need to go "back home" or else feel rootless. In my case probably working abroad delayed meeting "the one", getting married and having kids. So now I'm an older Dad than ideally I would've been for our kids. Its not the end of the world, there are some advantages of being an older parent, but some downsides too. Also some people may delay life to the point where they don't manage to marry and have kids, which is sad if that was something they would've wanted. OTOH if you've got the itch, not going to work abroad is no good either ;). I wouldn't have missed that adventure for the world :)
I believe the depiction here is inaccurate as it does not account for commute time. If I have to spend 1.5 hours commuting to the office, it should be considered as 9.5 hours for the same task that I can accomplish in 8 hours at home.

Is this satire? Because it makes no sense otherwise, given that even SBF himself admitted to donating to both sides in nearly equal amounts. Just being more lowkey about donating to republicans due to optics.

Relevant quotes[0]:

> SBF: “The reason [for not publicizing donations to republicans] was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the f—k out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.”

> […] he donated nearly $40 million to Democrats in the 2022 election cycle—and he admitted to giving an equal amount to Republicans—his total political contributions may have actually been around $80 million.

You teach it like you teach any other skill: with guided practice. People get a lot better with debugging if you help them through some of their problems and then let them come to you when they’re stuck. The thing with debugging is you can struggle a lot and do it very inefficiently so I see plenty of students who power through these non-trivial assignments while taking far longer than they should because they never learned the fundamentals of how to validate their code. They have no idea what tools they have available to them, how to design checks that efficiently test their hypotheses of why things aren’t working, or designing code so that it works the first time as much as possible.
Sorry, but Odersky is nothing like Wirth.

Scala failed hard because it is kitchen sink of every half baked feature someone wanted to write a PhD thesis about. The graphs of the interdependencies of the standard library are an excellent example of a totally insane design, the Scala data structures have been at least an order of magnitude slower than the JVM native ones. Don't get me started about the tooling, which is too slow for any real world projects.
(The only ones I regularly see to use Emacs are Scala developers, because opening projects in an IDE like IDEA could take up to 30 min on high end workstations.)

Wirth valued clean design, speed and simplicity. Odersky wants to compete with C++ for complexity. As the article stated, for Wirth a feature would have to pay for itself regarding complexity, speed and usability. If someone can demonstrate how Scalas features came to pay for themselves, I would appreciate a pointer.

Finally... generics in Java are a shit show, thanks to type erasure. Fair enough, Odersky was probably forced for this implementation, thanks to backwards compatibility, still, nothing to be proud of.
HTMX users just use existing JS components.

Respectfully what are you even talking about…

How did we get from “I think app install prompts should be a thing so the web is on a level playing field with operating systems” to me somehow being responsible for the ills of capitalism?

Interesting. I'm in the breach but never knowingly used that software, so it's likely buried under some other product or service.

I've actually had great frustration with Apple bluetooth, but I think a higher levels of the stack.

My wife has an iPad, iPhone, Apple watch, and iPods.

I have just iPods.

There are countless times when I'm listening to the iPad with my iPods, and when she comes into range, either my iPods switch connection to her iPhone, or her iPods steal my connection to the iPad.

I've found no setting on any device that fixes this. It drives me insane.
> seems odd to me that close proximity wireless file transfer isn't at least as fast as wifi?

BT is low power and low bandwidth.

If it was as fast as WiFi, we’d just use WiFi for everything.

Protocols like AirDrop use Bluetooth for negotiation and then WiFi for data transfer for this reason.
True, microwave ovens usually don't implement CSMA/CA :)
Completely agree. I’m looking for a new car and I’ve dry runned some long road trips I commonly do between Yorkshire and Dublin, and in a pure ev car, it’s a very different prospect to petrol only.

Plus, hybrid has lots of regenerative energy recovery that can be done to extend the mpg on the same fuel.
Remote work can result in a significant reduction in expenses for a company. Certainly when covid happened and we ended our office lease we saved thousands per month, even counting the increase in equipment cost for home workers.

So even without an increase in productivity the ratio of cost per employee to productivity per employee may improve.

React Forget Compiler – Understanding Idiomatic React
Don't forget the $100 tax just to be part of ecosystem. I paid that twice but didn't get the apps approved. Learnt my lesson.
It definitely feels weird in htmx.

It is easier in React if you are using a centralised state manager, yes. I prefer it, it is more explicit. If you use Context to set state it can come from anywhere. In this sense, it is even easier in Elm, since if you use Elm you are using one (redux was inspired by it iirc) ;o)

I think htmx makes sense really at the html level, like rest (I believe that is the goal of the project), because it would be framework agnostic. Then some boilerplate on top would fix these issues. You could define some central state in a single place and generate all the references (hx swap oob attributes). The basis is solid imho.

The most attractive thing for me would be that it would stay stable (like rest), but I agree right now a subset of react (choose state manager, styling method, ssr, etc) is easier/quicker. It needs to be constantly updated, though, and dependencies can creep in quickly if a team is not disciplined enough.

I agree with the weirdness of mixing logic an ui. I remember when css, html, and js were supposed to be kept separate. Then components in jsx mixed them, and it was useful. If htmx proves useful, the mixing of concerns does not differ much (not the same but it rhymes)
I am not a web dev, but I do it occasionally for fun, or want to put a script on the web, and when I saw htmx I was excited because I immediately grokked it and knew how to use it for my purposes. React looks cool, but intimidating for someone who is not a web dev. Maybe htmx is not for making big complex apps.
I think this has a really good use case in homes of people who have physical limitations. The robot can augment their reach / mobility / dexterity, while they are still able to control it and improve the problem-solving abilities of the system.

Kind of like a spatially distributed cyborg. Imagine being confined in bed or in a wheelchair, and have this thing be your gofer / nimble hands. It could be a gamechanger for so many!
> Perhaps they should be separated into their own classes?

This is called tracking in educational parlance and is largely detrimental to students and has all sorts of problems with exacerbating existing socio-economic issues the students come in with. Usually better to have additional remedial classes to try to catch those students up but by the time you're in college there's a certain level of self starter ness expected.

Because it actually works fine when vendors get their act together.

A lot of the products out there are cobbled together “works on my machine” quality.
You hit the nail on the head. The market of mobile platforms is in a state of "market failure": no real competition, because mobile platforms are not "homogeneous" (that is, it's hard for a buyer to change platforms). The market of mobile platforms being thus "monopolised", you need regulation to enforce proper competition.
Lost sales due to intolerable slowness definitely occur.
Yes, the staff generally end up paying for way more than they should be.
But you should be able to distribute bundled backend and frontend logic given its paradigm. There is no guidance on what it would take to do this, or what the interface for the components should be to enable it, or how you should build and share it.

Without both, I don't see the point because then you need to potentially mix multiple frontend frameworks unless you are strictly using WebComponents.

It's not XOR, but it should be possible to never leave HTMX. If you might need to go outside it anyway, then there is no point - you lose SSR if you just mount a React component anyway.

I understand the argument that HTMX can be complementary, but personally I'm not looking for a complementary technology. Show me how I can use it exclusively and I'll be more interested.
> Unlike VS Code, Obsidian is (for me) an actual example of an Electron app that feels fast. The quick open/command palette features are more responsive than similar features in native Mac apps I've tried.

Dude, VSCode is a freaking IDE, running all sorts of processes in the background (at least one terminal, language servers, type checkers, linters and formatters, possibly extensions, etc.) whereas Obsidian is just a text editor.
If we consider the very meaning of productivity, I wonder if we really shouldn't be producing less.

Increases in productivity have not necessarily led society to greater prosperity, so I think we've been looking at the wrong indicator all this time.
When I started working in search 10+ years ago, people would build a beautiful UI, and then, only on shipping, realize the search results were trash + irrelevant. They imagined a search system like Elasticsearch was basically Google. When in reality, Elasticsearch is just a bit of infrastructure. A framework, not a solution.

There's a similar thing happening on RAG. Where people think building the chat interaction is the hard thing. The hard thing is extracting + searching to get relevant context. A lot of founders I talk to suddenly realize this at the last minute, right before shipping, similar to search back in the day. It's harder than just throwing chunks in a vector DB. It involves a lot of different backend data sources potentially, and is in many ways harder than a standard search relevance problem (which is itself hard enough).
There is one thing the companies might not get but i got: I know now how it is to work remote and no i will not go back to the old.

I'm now also willing to accept less money for remote only than before and i also thinking of taking my current money and doing an exit faster if the industry doesn't like that and i will just accept a 'lost' of luxury but i do want to look at nature when i have to work (like your lake side office).

This is exactly my biggest gripe as well! There's actually one reasonable behavior that audio sink manufacturers just have to implement, and it doesn't seem too hard, that makes most of these problems go away: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39029037

I really wish the Bluetooth specifications would require, or at least strongly suggest, that behavior.
While true, they also profit by simply blaming operators, avoidance, litigation, and technicalities. So I'd argue there are a lot of competing interests here too... if asked if I trust insurance company shareholders or elected officials more, I could only answer "no."
Only 15% seems extremely good. General consensus is that EV's lose at least 40% capacity in such weather.
Do people need 48 miles (or 24 miles if the charging is slow because of the temperature) of range every day? Genuine question, I don't know what driving in that area is like, i.e. nearest grocery story could be 10 miles?
InternLM – SOTA OS 7B and 20B model with 200K context length
I think there is crappy hardware and crappy software. But there are also good combinations.

In my case, my Sony and Shure headphones have always worked perfectly on my 2013 MBP, iPhone 7 and multiple Linux boxen. Don't know what controller was in the MBP and iPhone, but all the PCs have Intel ones.

I now have a mouse which works surprisingly well over BT, although I usually use its own dongle because it seems to have less lag and it can switch between the several computers connected to my KVM at the same time the display and keyboard do.

However, on Windows, things aren't as smooth, even though it's strictly the same hardware. Connections take longer to establish, and the mouse has definitely more lag than under Linux. It also doesn't support the very high bitrate audio modes both my headphones and Linux support, and if I'm watching videos the audio is out of sync.

Since I rarely use Windows, all in all, I'm a very happy Bluetooth user.
People love to throw this assertion at every American city problem, but really if you are rich in a blue coastal US city, you basically pay Western Europe level income taxes all-in.

A $1M income for a single person in NYC results in an all-in effective tax rate of 46% with a marginal tax rate a bit higher than that.

Plus we have fairly high property taxes so if you were to own say a 3 bedroom apartment commensurate with that income, you'd probably be paying another $30-50k in real estate taxes which is another 3-5% of your income.

I'm NOT saying let's cry for the poor millionaires, but I question that assertion that we just aren't collecting enough revenue.

We have serious rich mans cost disease in US cities where we just cannot spend money efficiently. See everything from homeless services / subway construction / etc.
Maybe I'm out of the loop... smartphones are allowed in the first place? When did that happen? In my high school, cell phones and ipods (at the time) were to be in lockers and turned off during the day. It was an insta-detention if you were seen using one.
Doesn't this go against the philosophy though? I'd expect navigation to happen mostly with plain old html navigation

I regularly come back to nostr to check the state of the user experience. And it is invariably slow and randomly working. Maybe it comes with the architecture and design choices. But I would like to hear about your current experience.
There are some genuinely delicious foods that are healthier than junk food and most people would
agree tastes better, but they don’t want to cook or don’t want to learn. A robot that excels at cooking can serve you a delicious, healthy meal from a different cuisine every day. Theoretically you can go for years without having the same meal twice. The robot can also take your target macros and nutrition into consideration when deciding on what to cook and how much of it.
It is reasonable. If you have time and are willing to put in the effort I can forcefeed you resources, and review code and such. I've raised a few ML babies. Mooc are probably the wrong way to go. Thats where i started and I got stuck for a while. You really need to be knee deep in code, and a notebook.

As for getting jobs I cant help you with that part. You'll have to do your own networking, etc.

Troy's response:

His stance is reasonable.
None of them, it's a strawman.
Another thing they don't capture is that I can afford a better, more comfortable and ergonomic setup at home than my company is willing to spend on office equipment, as well as access to healthier food and drink than my company is willing to stock the office pantries with.

Not to mention the number of meetings I need to take from my uncomfortable car seat on office days because there aren't enough meeting rooms and phone booths in the office.
That didn‘t work so much for Dynalist.
What were the problems you encountered?

Obsidian creates a hidden directory in your “vault,” which contains plugin files, plus metadata about your settings, currently opened files, etc. If those settings don’t work equally well on both systems, that would be a hassle. Maybe try copying all the files from inside the directory (so that you don’t grab that hidden dir when you do) instead of grabbing the whole directory.

You might also want to look at the git-obsidian plugin. It takes a little setup, but seems to work well once it’s going.

> Does it have to?

To be fair they acknowledge in conclusion that it has other positive effects, but their analysis was focused on productivity.

But I agree, title of this analysis is weird, as it assumes that it should impact productivity positively and comes as negative since it doesn't.

I am glad they conclude its neutral though. If we were starting to see analysis showing it reduces productivity, you'd bet we'd be back in office in no time

Absolutely. I am not suggesting ST is dead. It's just 10-12 years ago ST2 was big hype online. Hyped to the point that likes of Vi (or even emacs) users were moving over to it!

Today, I hardly hear about it online. It is VS Code, even in the office. I am sure if I was in the same room 10 years ago, it would be the same.. just ST2. :-)

I wonder what the "cool" thing is in the next 10 years. Likely be saying the same thing about VS Code over the next "cool kid"

Maybe other dev culture (php devs, for example) that I have not been part of are mostly using ST2/3/4.
