I'm going to submit that if you think configuration and serialization are the same problem it's time to step back and re-evaluate what you're doing, which is really the authors point.

As Joel Spoelsky said years ago, if you abstract far enough up everything starts to look the same but that doesn't make it so

At the end of the day you could claim that all data exchange is exactly the same, and indeed Claude Shannon showed all information is just data, but that misses the point entirely. All humans are exactly the same and yet sex between them can look vastly different based upon such details as genitals.
It's interesting how, from my average man perspective, it's impossible to say whether a company operating at the scale of Apple is or is not victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

On one hand, a push to deliver can be leadership setting a sink-or-swim deadline to avoid sunk costs. On the other hand, maybe they've already gone too far down a dead end.

I think it has to be tricky because a tech company that does manufacturing at Apple's scale is kind of obligated to explore these possibilities. But how can you or I calculate what constraints should be in place so exploration can be effective while avoiding waste?

Boeing internal whistleblower RE: MAX DOOR
I haven't worked too hard on this, but wouldn't SQLite work?
When I need a laptop, I think 13" is factor I would go for. Definitely some creativity around even shells would be great, if not exotic keyboards and more. I currently have Thinkpad with PopOs! and love it, so I would go with that.
Pages of laws passed is a better metric as the laws have become more bundled due to partisanship.
With the contractors, we have:

* The Space Shuttle - a death trap and reusable in no practical sense. Refurbishment involved near rebuild of large components. Often used as proof about how reusable rockets were not financially viable prior to F9's reliability.

* SLS (ie the rocket to nowhere) - too expensive and too slow to build to be worth using unless literally mandated by law. Is too rough of a ride, Orion's screens had to be modified to flicker in sync with the vibrations so that they would be readable. Congress (in blatant bias towards Boeing) attempted to mandate Europa Clipper to launch on it instead of Falcon Heavy, only backing down when told that they'd have to give Clipper an extra $1B (in addition to the $3B for an SLS launch) to make it able to handle the conditions imposed by SLS. Continues to be a burden on NASA's budget by eating up funding for other projects.

* Vulcan being forcibly neutered down to the bare minimum functionality needed to sell national security launches, because the original proposal would've reduced costs and removed the one existing need for SLS. They were proposing an upgraded second stage which would be able to be refueled in orbit and would've been able to carry Orion. Boeing tried to get the designer of that component fired. Also has the bare minimum to be 'reusable' by having an eventual goal of detaching the first stage engines from the body and splashing them down via inflatable heat shield. Basically does just enough to be a minimum viable competitor to F9 in national security launches and nothing more.

* Starliner with its initially poor software, stuck valves, fire resistance system that actually catches fire and parachute issues. Here Boeing got NASA to pay them extra money on top of the agreed upon fixed-price contract, holding domestic access to the ISS over them. Also tried to get SpaceX's contract cancelled and that money also awarded to themselves for no additional changes. The vehicle is designed for the bare minimum required for the contract (only 2 being built), with no interest in separate commercial activity the way Dragon is used in.

* JWST (ie the telescope that ate astronomy) - massive delays, budget overruns and serious failures in testing which caused another ~5 year delay. It was nicknamed "the telescope that ate astronomy" due to the budget overruns, which harmed several other telescope projects.

* Hubble - the work done directly by NASA was mostly fine, but contractors had large cost and schedule overruns, with the mirror issue due to a failing contractor and Lockmart facing cost overruns + not taking the initiative with designing the spacecraft for the telescope.

There is a heavy Boeing bias here since the main culprit in half of these examples is Boeing. But at the moment these were the main cases that came to mind.

The sad thing about these cases is that the early excuse for not taking risks with new companies like SpaceX was that they didn't have spaceflight "heritage" and couldn't be trusted to not cut corners in important places, with the implication that the established companies would be charging less if they could without compromising safety/quality.

So if I need to warranty something, I need to figure out how to have a shipping address in, say, Germany? Easy!

Oh and if the 2.5k€ laptop gets damaged by a 3rd party shipping company, I'm on the hook for it.

Yea, I'll wait. I can't figure out why it's so hard to ship stuff within the EU. The whole purpose of the European Union is to make moving products easy inside its borders.
>I prefer using my definition because it offers something more testable than just some (arbitrary?) degree of similarity.

That's fine to have a preference, but we must also concede that many (most?) human classification ontologies are arbitrary. Even in your example of what constitutes a "smiling" or "frowning" farmer is a somewhat arbitrary definition. What you might call a frown, I may call a smiling 'smirk.'

I think this testable framework preference may border on a reductionist perspective that dismisses the hard problem of consciousness on the assumption that if it can't be measured, it's not real (see also my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39103504). Consider the perception of muscle fatigue/burning; in the context of a workout it may be found to be pleasurable, but in the context of an illness it might be felt as suffering. An MRI may "test" and show both have the same neural circuits activated but yet the subjective experience is vastly different. Just because we don't (yet...maybe?) have the tools to test for it, would we conclude that differences in subjective experience don't exist?
I'm right there with you on all those things!

They were very sought after, but it was very common for folks to put their money in a sealed ceramic pot to protect and hide it, either buried under the floor of their home somewhere or outside in some secret spot. There were regular wars, plagues, invasions, and other civic chaos that left many of these hidden troves long buried until someone later found them. Ancient peoples buried a lot of metal artifacts for burials or rituals (the Celts buried a lot of weapons in their rites) that have been recovered as well. Lots of circumstances need to line up, but the ancient past had many very chaotic eras. With metal detectors large numbers of troves are being rediscovered.
Ask HN: Export Shopify Store to HTML
Hello All,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a tool to completely export a Shopify Store for archival purposes?

Essentially I have an online store which I'm looking to retire but the online store has a number of blog posts, etc. that would be helpful to keep online.

What I'd like to do is export the store as is, remove all of the E-Commerce Elements, still keep the product pages but without a Buy Option, then re-host the website with the same domain as Static HTML so it can still be browsed as is.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Tab groups are a mental shortcut so you can spend less time figuring out the nature of the tab you're looking at or finding particular tabs.

If something automates their creation then there is absolutely an advantage to sites that can subvert the classification method, because users will start with the "banking site" expectation instead of no expectation at all.
> The other feature is the ability to edit game objects while the game is running in editor mode for debugging.

+1 to this. Having switched to trying Godot Vs unity, this was the biggest "missing feature" that made godot harder to work with Vs unity. (I am no pro, not even indie, just a hobbyist)

In unity you can pause that game and view and/or modify game object's variables/properties/etc in real time. In Godot it feels like it just compiles and runs a binary that is disconnected from the editor. Yes you can debug the code, but the "live" integration with the visual editor is very useful when prototyping and trying out ideas as it lets you move things around and change variables, which you can't really do with debugging
Automatic updates are a system setting that you can just turn off.

I’m not sure how you hit this path if you don’t have it turned on.

That said on a dialog like this anything other than an affirmative confirmation should be considered to not be a confirmation, and that specific failure seems like a general bug rather than anything nefarious. There are plenty of times users may want to delay an update even if they have auto updates enabled, and if one of the obvious ways to do that doesn’t I’m sure it would be annoying for them as well.
One angle that isn't mentioned in the article is that there are companies that now stream live GNSS/GPS data from horse races, so the drone users are competing against 'official' feeds of in-running data, e.g. https://www.totalperformancedata.com/

This is a clever move from the racetracks: they can sell this data, there are customers for it, and it saves them from fruitlessly trying to stop the drones.

However, the data is expensive, and if you are buying it then you are going to be competing against the other buyers of it, who will be trying to place the same bets as you, so the edge isn't going to be too great. Kind of like HFT, where everyone races to keep up with the technology spending of their competitors.

The problem with offering car tech is that manufacturers won't want it. They hate the thought of automotive technology being commoditized. If they all use the same underlying technology, then there's less opportunity to differentiate themselves.

Interesting beginning of an article, but it's paywalled after part 1.
You’re assuming I agree that all ad hominem arguments are bad. You cannot separate a person, where their beliefs have no sway over their arguments and they are perfectly logical. That’s like physics 101, imagine a perfect sphere kind of thing. I cannot take an argument in good faith when the person is presenting it in bad faith - even if I agree with it (which I sort of do, I think DEI stuff is mostly worthless, I just don’t think it’s why Boeing sucks).
Seems odd to me that Apple would invest in developing a car instead of just focusing on the in-vehicle interface device. Then again, Apple has a long history of wanting absolute control over form factor, so they might believe their better served building the whole car than just one device that's used in it.
If you are talking about hiring software developers, it is easy enough.

Yeah I've always found that to be frustrating. Someone squashes and merges MY commits, and github still shows them as validly signed, even though they aren't the commits I created. Sadly it's hard to actually filter those out: the UI makes them all look the same.
I agree that there is an ammount of reasonable care drivers should have. However, I think the contribution of pedestrians is generally understated.

AT least in the US, 33% of pedestrians involved in fatal accidents were drunk.

16% were on freeways. 59% were on non-freeway arterials, while 22% were on local streets. [1]

I found it surprising that fatalities are far more likely to involve Pedestrians being drunk or jaywalking on high-speed throughfare than drunk drivers.

Also you have to pay to get your game rated by the ESRB (at least if it's physical. Maybe not required to pay money for digital games from what I'm seeing with a Google search? Although we had digital games we still got ESRB rated).

I remember being on a team that spent a little over 2 weeks doing detailed project planning and estimating. We said the project would take 8 months.

It’s called predictive maintenance and it is the norm in many critical industries. Replacing equipment every fixed number of X years (no matter what the condition of the equipment is) is wasteful, costly disruptive and does not actually guarantee better reliability. (although it makes people feel better).

Most predictive maintenance is done with data — updated sensor data processed through a mathematical model derived from principles from reliability engineering. In a sense it’s actually more realistic than the X years model (which is a once off number derived from some reliability model too but doesn’t have the benefit of being updated with real data — it’s usually an overly conservative number)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_maintenance

There is no evidence that predictive maintenance is the cause of Boeing’s mishaps.
It seems like the location these are generally found in could offer clues. If they were blacksmith related I would expect them to be found closer to the buildings where they would be used or stored. If they’re for a military related purpose (approximating distances) then I would expect to find them more alongside roads, and strategically relevant places. Thoughts?
Apple cares about the end-to-end user experience too much to do this. Likely the car will have Apple's software sauce and design, be branded an Apple vehicle but be manufactured by BMW, VW group, or a Chinese manufacturer (Volvo/Polestar etc.)

> You haven't proven anything towards your assumption.

I gave the iOS example. 2 Billion devices with a browser but no shell. You have given no examples, other than devices which by your own admission have no shell or js engine, and are accordingly out of scope for this argument.

> If a phone is a computer, then so must an IoT device be a computer, or a managed network switch, and then your argument is falling apart.

I don't care what you include in the universe of "computers", all I care about is whether a given thing has an end-user accessible shell or js engine. If you think my argument is falling apart due to the existence of things which have absolutely no relation to it, I don't know what to tell you.

I'm trying, but I really don't think I can be any more clear with you. Let's revisit my initial request of you:

> Can you give an example of a device that has an end-user accessible shell, but not an end-user accessible browser?

To date all you've mentioned are devices which have no shell or js engine. I don't understand how you think you're being relevant.

And the goal posts have been immobile and obvious to everyone but you from the very beginning: count the devices where the user can access a browser, count the devices where the user can access a shell. Which number is bigger?
Yeah, someone probably made it out of passion once, others liked it so much they offered him lot of money or fame, the art proliferated. Some artists created similar models, some modified on top of it.
Sure, at some point solving the cooling becomes the path with least resistance. It's just surprisingly hard if you have to account in the reliability and dimensions - so it depends on the application.
That’s my assumption - I imagine there’s general “prepare the update” path that gets canceled explicitly by clicking a “no” button and can easily imagine that kind of logic missing close the window or whatever.

Also it seems like a lot of the new EVs have sky high repair bills, like the infamous $42,000 Rivian fender bender repair. https://www.theautopian.com/heres-why-that-rivian-r1t-repair...

So if you're going to have minor bumps result in a repair bill more expensive than many cars, it's not that much of a stretch to say that'd make it virtually unrepairable.
Tinted front windshields are illegal in California, among other states, fwiw. The law just isn’t enforced, just like modded exhaust, and residential speed limits … and passing on the right.
They usually seem really serious about it. I dunno. I definitely don't go out of my way to bring what I do into a conversation or to focus on it if it comes up, because most folks find computers incredibly boring, and nothing I do with them is particularly interesting. I do tend to encourage people to talk about what they do, mostly out of habit from product "discovery" work. It's often, like, plumbers or whoever, not other software-adjacent folks, who light up and tell me about this great idea that'd love to have available, if they find out what I do... and it's almost always something that already exists, and not even in a "you could just do that with Excel and email" sort of way, but purpose-built apps for what they want.

Not that you shouldn't ever enter an existing market, it's just that I always get a little kick out of how they claim this app would be super-useful and I should build it, but they've been a couple taps away from having what they want for, potentially, years. It demonstrates the gap between "you should build this, I would use it, it would be very helpful!" and how potential customers actually behave.
