This one frustrates me because when the government intervenes to try to lower wildfire insurance premiums they are literally risking people’s lives.

People should have to pay the full cost of the risk of living in these dangerous areas so the price system encourages them to move.
Just like Jesus!
>I very much doubt ISPs are in the habit to turn down expansion in any area (and therefore more money/maintain their regional monopoly) because of the race of people living there.

You're doubting something that you made up.

>It seems like a way to force them to build out in non-white neighborhoods over other places even if it doesn’t make economic sense.

No, it doesn't.

> For one, that’s racism against white people by another name. We see that a lot now but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight it.

The thought of a person in 2024 who believes that the US government is systematically working to be racist against white people would be hilarious, if it were not so sad.

> There are better ways to guarantee good internet for everyone instead.

Like what?

This is the FCC press release on the announcement.[0] You might want to read it. Here are the actual rules[1]. You might want to read those too. And think about how peculiar it is that, out of all the groups defined, that you've chosen to focus exclusively on race. You know what the say. A man who has lived his entire life of privilege feels persecution in equality.

Agreed. I really don’t understand how upset people are. Do you think they want to give you a free AI service? From a business perspective, AI is an opportunity for a brand new revenue stream. It’s certainly not free for the company to develop and operate either.

Clearly, JetBrains wasn’t foolish enough to secretly send your data to their servers either. If they ever do in the future, bring out all the pitch forks. Until then, it seems like people are just scrambling for something to be upset about for no reason other than it’s something they can discuss on HN.
What do you do, just drive around uninsured for 3 weeks in your new car and hope nothing happens?
C# is IDisposable [1] for that kind of stuff and has the "using" block [2] to make it hard to get wrong.

Modern digital audio players (DAPs) exist. Basically an iPod with an upgraded DAC and amp, and optionally WiFi and Bluetooth for direct streaming from Tidal or local media server or from your phone. I also use mine as a Bluetooth receiver for my TV audio when watching late at night.
That's great, but not relevant to the topic of memory safety in C#, which is all I was addressing.

I think you are making a point in the broader discussion of C# vs. rust, but that doesn't fit here. (And, personally, I don't care about that so have nothing to say on the topic.)
Seems like jobs after LLMs still have a chance sob

(Stellar, one could say.)
Because then how would you comment on HN all day?
The business of insurance sometimes has good (profitable) years and sometimes has bad (losing) years. That’s why insurers work so hard to invest and spread their risk over multiple years. I got a dividend from State Farm during the pandemic because they had an unusually profitable year, and they re-distributed some of their profits to policyholders.
The free alternatives were also kind of ridiculous with terrible UX. Like hotmail was the best MS could do

You could say that you "ran" doom on a piece of paper if you just draw each frame yourself, the FPS would depend on how good/fast you are at drawing.
They don't know the mass of the planet yet, so surface gravity is an unknown as of yet. The paper suggests two scenarios: a rocky world (~7 earth masses) or a water world (~2 earth masses).

Surface gravity would be 38m/s² for a rocky planet (~390% earth's surface gravity) and 8.2m/s² for a water world (~84% earth's surface gravity). I'm not an astronomer so I don't know if anything in between those values is a realistic scenario, but I wonder how you got your 125% of earth's surface gravity.
I think you're seeing this from the perspective of someone who runs a container for development and not someone who has to run a development container at hyperscale.

We can't pass around bash scripts anymore. Every system has to be fungible, reproducible en masse and as agnostic to the underlying technology its on as possible.
What feature was added to SvelteKit on the behave of Vercel?
You get 95% of it back in the form of rewards, so it's not really a tax at all.
I blame what the other comment says, the UI mixing in answers to other questions.
This is true, but we are talking about running this script on some codebase (or whatever you want to "git undo"). I mean "I don't trust this script, but let's run it on our source code" sounds a bit weird.
What makes Edge a good browser among the several other Chrome-based browsers out there?
I think it's an attempt at question deduplication where they had more confidence in that matching algo than they should have. It usually conflates two questions with similar words but very different meanings.
Hz is for frequency, which is for periodic phenomena (1/period equals frequency).

Usually requests to a server are not periodic, there is no period. They are random and follow something like the Poisson distribution.

Requests per seconds is as SI as it gets since the second is the base SI unit for time.
You wait. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck.
That's running on your brain, not the paper.
As long as something legal and makes profit - people would do it. Energy generation does not offset all the climate damage it makes.

Efficient: (of a system or machine) achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.

Bitcoin is least efficient way of doing transactions. Pretty efficient way doing ecological damage though.
My uncle gave me his used (!) Bosch dryer 12 years ago. It’s outlasted every other appliance we’ve bought since then.
The problem is that PR companies can push out whatever they want, where as an ordinary individual with personal knowledge of a topic, can't. It means many Wiki articles on person or companies, are often glorified advertisements, rather than encyclopedic entries.
I've been in FAANG for a couple of years now and stuck in React world unfortunately. Prior to that I had to use Angular, which imo was even worse. I've had a couple of short opportunities to use Vue professionally in an enterprise application though and damn I loved every second of it. Vue is still my favorite by far. It's just so elegant with its simplicity, it allows me to actually focus on the app and not any bullshit cognitive overhead dealing with state or weird incoherent syntax (looking at you, Angular). I wish there was a larger adoption of Vue.
> Like if we wanted to we can do it pretty quickly using primitive methods.

It seems that even if we don't want it, we can't help but do it anyway.
What's 1500 years (at 0.1c) between friends?
I think everyone appreciates links to similar projects for comparison, but a more in-depth comment would probably come across better - the "less principled and more primitive" sounds like a thoughtless off the cuff ad hominem dismissal.

Consider that some engineers poured a lot of heart into what they were building, and are probably excited to finally share it with the world.

I am not saying you have to love it, but just brutally putting it down with no justification seems really rough. Snark is easy.
"What can one do in the face of a relatively shrinking population?" is the more interesting question to me.

As someone whose managed a team before, there is a minimum population of people practically required to sustain a particular corpus of actionable information without suffering severe degradation in terms of said information's application.

Once one ends up below that point; things tend to go the way "from scratch rediscovery required", until such time as the population of people capable of acting on it is restored.

Whether that actually happens is a prioritization decision balancing against everything else that still has to be done.
What are you talking about? Deposits that came in via paper money are treated in exactly the same manner as those deposited electronically.

Why would you need to watch a video on lecture notes?
My experience has been completely different. State Farm jacked up my price by 40% over the last two years, even though I had to incidents. When I called and asked they said it’s due to inflation. Insurance increase along with groceries has been one of the permanent inflationary increases in my expenses since Covid. I’m sure a lot of people are in the same boat.
LFP has much higher energy density (100 Wh/kg) than lead acid (30 Wh/kg). The lower weight and size is big advantage of LFP.

LFP also can be fully discharged while lead acid can only safely go to 50% which means more battery for same capacity. LFP is limited to 80% charging to preserve lifespan but still comes out ahead.
Is this a paper computer? If so, the first page of the site does a poor job of explaining what it is, and even then going to “make a button” page it’s still not that clear. Where is the about page or some kind of introduction?
How about a third unit, baud [1]? It looks no worse than hertz to me:

In telecommunication and electronics, baud (/bɔːd/; symbol: Bd) is a common unit of measurement of symbol rate, which is one of the components that determine the speed of communication over a data channel. It is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second or pulses per second.

Couldn't agree more. It's easy to see this user hostility increase slightly, over and over across a period of years, each time having some idea that there is some short-term metric that is positively affected.

Considering I rarely understand what I'm even looking at with the mish mosh of answers, and I'm not willing to create an account, I've outright blocked Quora in my browser.

As an aside, I think the extreme enshittification of Quora basically highlights every single problem with VC-driven, growth-at-all costs, "metrics and data driven" tech platforms (as an aside, the reason I put square quotes there is not that I think metrics and data are bad, but I think most companies are not honest that they're optimizing for metrics and data that are easy to gather, while the fuzzier but actually more critical concepts of user trust and sentiment get ignored over time). I mean honestly, is there any single employee at Quora that thinks that what the site became is anything but a total shit show?
Indeed no one is saying that it will happen, it’s an opinion article, with some warnings and facts:

>With sufficient time and opportunity, however, the Houthis might be able to adapt some of their maritime tactics to target the vital communication infrastructure. In fact, the shallow waters of the Gulf—which only reach a depth of 100 meters—reduce the need for high-tech submarines to get the job done. In 2013, three divers were arrested in Egypt for attempting to cut an undersea cable near the port of Alexandria that provides much of the internet capacity between Europe and Egypt—highlighting the possibility that militants without special equipment or training could carry out a similar mission. The Houthis, who have undergone combat diver training, could employ a similar method of attack, and have an arsenal of naval mines with which to damage the cables
Quora was a nice example on how an extremely shtty UI can still become successful if the app was useful enough.

It’s insane how much people can put up with if it scratches their itch enough
Great example!

Has this anti-social behaviour become more prevalent because of social media, though? I suspect it has, although perhaps supplanting some other type of 'decorum' witnessed in pre-social media times.
>I’ve never ever received spam from GitHub.

I wonder how long they will keep investing in both GitHub and Azure DevOps. I'm worried they are just busy ruining other experiences at the moment, but enshittifying GitHub is on the list of things to do.
SvelteKit is the "router".

We use SvelteKit for a internal application that we embed into a Go binary. It as simple as adding adapter-static as the adapter and not using .server files.

You can use SvelteKit the exact same way as the API for server and client are nearly the same. Load function on the server work the same as the Load function on the client expect for where they are called.

What problems did you have?
I’m considering replacing them with Apple’s Homepod.
DI probably also involves at that time the cost of scanning it into film. I worked in the industry a little after this and some of the DI theatres rent out for 1K+ per hour, plus there’s conform artist time, incorporating new cuts, etc. I could see it.
Well, that's an outlier. Even the M2 Mac Mini I typed the previous post on has a fan.
> The rise in interest rates has set off a retooling of the tech sector, a retooling which requires workers moving between jobs. The workers being laid off are going from working in areas of the economy that were profitable (or simply flush in funding) in the environment of 2021, but no longer profitable in 2023/2024, to areas of the economy that are profitable today.

Is there any data to back up that the number of layoffs is not being matched with number of job openings and the tech sector as a whole is "net shrinking"?

aka, for example, 300k layoffs, 150k positions backfilled, 150k positions net lost... potentially a) "replaced by AI" or b) because interest rates are 5%, the projects those 150k people would've been working on are no longer fundable in a profitable manner and were just deleted from existence

Correct, but it’s mass (weight) is 3x higher than earth’s, and since gravity is proportional to mass, you’d likely be much heavier there. If the radius of the planet was the same as earth’s, the gravity would be 3x higher, but if it’s bigger than earth, it might not be as bad. The formula is g= m/r^2 , where m is the mass of the planet and r is the radius of the planet.
Without more context can't comment on your upgrade process. But as others stated above, there's not much difference betweeb 2 and 3, except you do not get composition api on a v2 project, while you can use composables but can't go full composition api and have to stick to options api. Other than that most of v2 code would work on v3.

I am a full-stack developer, specialized in front-end. I have over 5 years of experience in front-end development building for non-profits, small companies and entrepreneurs providing fast, fun, interactive and high converting custom developed websites and web apps.
Does anyone know of a good open source syntax highlighting library for Vue SFC? That’s my biggest issue with the file format (I maintain a code review tool)
I think a lot of responses here are right but as someone who has lived in big cities and small cities across multiple continents, it does seem like:

* the floor for awkward and awkward identification is lower now than it has been

* 3rd spaces and “easy to do nothing among others” cultures are way more social

I’m introverted as hell but some places bring out / inspire / feed my gregarious slices more than others. It’s true everywhere you go, you bring yourself… but I am absolutely happier and different in some places more than others.

Travelling will show you different norms, and medians too. Some places are ahead of time, and other places are on a different axis of time. And the people in those places aculturate differently too.

People are people and across time probably much the same, but collections of people can vary quite significantly.
Definitely agree, and I also firmly believe that each property should get exactly one FEMA bailout ever. If you live in Florida and your house gets destroyed by a hurricane, FEMA should pay you for it. If you choose to rebuild on that exact same spot, and your house gets destroyed by a hurricane, you should get exactly bupkis.

This should carry with the property address - the next person who buys it should have to sign a form acknowledging that they aren't going to get a FEMA bailout if it gets destroyed.

Lots of Florida Republicans out there who complain about welfare but rely on some of the biggest welfare checks that get written to repair their homes because of the absolutely foreseeable results of their choices.
I kind of despise these press releases because they almost never attempt to show anything other than what other astronomers might care about.

Surface gravity? I just computed that. Color temp? Had to check the ole memory banks.

They should be doing stuff like computing how much of the sky this sun occupies, so you could get a sense of it, with the color. Is it tidally locked? Or at least does it fit the criteria?

The distance, eccentricity (which here leaves the distance a constant), and temperature of the associated star could be used to give some kind of insolation number, and from there a very casual steady-state blackbody temperature of the planet, which is a start and is better than nothing. At that point you can start looking up what gases would stay and which would go as kind of a maximum before you started thinking about stellar winds and the like.
yea, it is nice way to break local laws, sure. It is easy to track transactions on the block chain though - everyone sees them. I would say it is least anonymous way of doing transactions. Everyone knows about the transaction forever. Everyone sees the transaction. Infinitely worse than doing it in cash.

Tbh it's really cool to see a practical walkthrough of what applying dynamicland ideas can look like, and I love the fact that there is a bunch of open source coming out of it.
Duplicate port number in the config might be checked ahead of time, but port number already taken by something unrelated in the environment deployed to can't. I'm sure that the scope of pkl isn't intended to setting up clean slate containers and nothing else, ever.
Nix is a build & metaprogramming system, not (just) a configuration language.
True. It's tiresome that a technical definition is so often misinterpreted as actual habitability. The authors are also overly optimistic when they point out that the M4 class host star is relatively calm due to its age. That fact wouldn't matter much, though, if the first billion years of the star's existence have sterilized the planet and stripped off its atmosphere...

> When I select a classification, that race/ethnic/gender should be weighted more heavily in hiring decisions.

Sorry, why?

When you say “should”, do you mean that is what you expect happens, or do you mean that is ideally what would happen?
>In case you forget the GC will call Dispose but it's entirely up to the GC when that happens, so personally I wouldn't say it's similar.

This actually has to be implement in the classes finalizer its not done automatically. The finalizer is called by the GC which if the designer chooses can call Dispose. This is usually done in well designed classes that use unmanaged resources.

Dispose and using give you the determinism if you want it and the finalizer gives you the backstop to prevent leaks if it makes sense.
> they are likely to reduce their spending in advance.

Can we extrapolate that we are not seeing a reduction in spending because tech companies are posting "good earnings"?

It takes people spending money in order for earnings to be good, right?
Being careful to distinguish 'fundamental laws' from just 'quantities that we defined', information theory and queueing theory have some good examples of proven laws.
Cash back? Attention is finite and I don't want a payment processor forcing me to pay a fee so I can turn around and try and earn it back. How about lower the fee and let me keep that 1%?? Then I can earn interest on it for the month, not them. And then I don't have to read additional terms and conditions, use it or lose it, book travel through their marked up garbage store, etc. It's insane to me that you'd defend cash back as some kind of advantage to consumers when it's anything but. It's a crappy product that you can choose to avoid but I want the up front transaction fee reduced by the same amount.
Most smart people I know oppose neo Nazis. That's not a very controversial position.
What difference does the elimination of paper money at POS make to ability to access electronic deposits? Unless you are saying people should not bank at all and keep cash under the mattress?
Right, but you also have to account for density when calculating surface gravity.

TOI-715 b has a log g value of 5.0 +/- 0.2. Earth is 2.992.
...network effects? There are still people with legacy v4-only clients, which can never reach anything other than v4, or on v4-only ISPs. There are enough of them at the moment that we still need to support them. This isn't hard to figure out.
I'm curious about the language "bindings" for reading Pkl from Java, Kotlin, Swift, and Golang. At first I thought these were completely independent implementations of the language, since they read from Pkl source and not some intermediate format.

However, the CLI talks talk about a "pkl server" mode that is used by the bindings. So it looks like there is a single implementation (written in some JVM language?) that is run in a subprocess. I wish there was more documentation about how this works under the covers.

Full screen Unity apps don't use the MaterialX system. Widgets perhaps work like how you say but VR games and apps won't.

Seems like RUST needs work to become easier to learn. Hard for a business to take a risk on using it (outside of a use case absolutely needing a memory safe language) if the talent pool is shallow.
