As someone used to doing everything with vanilla JS and having troubles with getting deep into any web frameworks (especially React), Svelte has been a godsend. I'm in love with the philosophy and approach and its natural combination of JS/CSS/HTML is, in my personal bubble, second to none. Most recent experiment was https://meoweler.com, but I'm now trying more complex projects and can't sing high enough praises. I sincerely hope the future of Svelte is bright.

Did you drive between Texas - Louisiana? It is a massive difference almost immediately. You go from 55mph top speed limit with many potholes in LA to smooth 75mph Texas roads. Texas roads are much better and I have heard the same opinion many times from people making that drive. Louisiana makes their roads cheaper by making them much more thin, and they don’t get repaired often in rural areas.
Yeah it's very funny hearing my dad talk about how nice it is to have no income tax in Washington (he's a dentist). But when you tell him that the relatively higher income tax is worse for poor people he doesn't seem to agree. Washington is certainly a progressive state on the whole, but the taxation is horrible.

Yeah the crucifix glitch is kind of silly though it does have an internally consistent explanation. I feel like maybe you didnt read the notes and references (complete with citations)? Because otherwise you would know this?

Was the ending actually bad? like badly written or bad for the characters? Personally I thought the ending was good. It felt inevitable and also positive. Humanity got to keep living and the main character reached some type of personal growth.

Anyway heres the section from the notes and references that you must not have read about the "creatures capable of movement - not noticeable by the human brain"

For example, the invisibility trick of that young, dumb scrambler— the one who restricted its movement to the gaps in Human vision— occured to me while reading about something called inattentional blindness. A Russian guy called Yarbus was the first to figure out the whole saccadal glitch in Human vision, back in the nineteen sixties15. Since then, a variety of researchers have made objects pop in and out of the visual field unnoticed, conducted conversations with hapless subjects who never realised that their conversational partner had changed halfway through the interview, and generally proven that the Human brain just fails to notice an awful lot of what's going on around it16, 17, 18. Check out the demos at the website of the Visual Cognition Lab at the University of Illinois19 and you'll see what I mean. This really is rather mind-blowing, people. There could be Scientologists walking among us right now and if they moved just right, we'd never even see them.

I’m not making excuses. I’m highlighting what reality is. Big cities are big because of people population. Why are a lot of people there? Because of work, lifestyle preference or both. That’s not an excuse, that is reality. I don’t want to live in the middle of no where even if the entire mortgage is less then my 20% down payment for something closer to a big city. Economics speak for themselves. Stop pretending demand for a city is artificial.
Good point. And agree that it’s insufficient. We must understand the why behind it and also learn how to create a supportive environment.

For instance, remove all the bad food from sight and replace with good ones. Put on shoes and active wear before even deciding to do some exercise. And many many other tricks..
I must have been unclear because that’s not what I intended for people to understand. I was saying, if you want something from Amazon, don’t buy it there but from somewhere else instead (like Barnes & Nobles for ebooks, Azure/GCP for web services, whatever). If people do this on a large enough scale, those businesses will grow and start hiring people. Then the employees may have better places to work.

That’s the point of boycotting Amazon, or Amazon might change its ways if the sting hurts too much.

Literally nothing you have written is evidence for the idea, which I was challenging, that Ozempic-like drugs "make you starve yourself".

Most of the people, currently anyway, who are prescribed these drugs are morbidly obese. There are an entire host of well-known, evidence-supported extremely negative consequences from being obese. So why are you talking about, basically, "eating too many lentils??" in the scope of this conversation? We weren't exactly talking about ensuring vegans get enough nutrients.

Except in Texas.

For a state that often bemoans the federal government and its out of control spending, Texas takes an impressive amount of funds and puts it into a very high-quality and modern interstate system.

Texas will receive over $27 billion (with a B) over the next ~5 years in federal funding for highways and bridges alone. $10 billion was allocated across 2022-2023. Many of their roads are quite nice and only going to improve. Thanks, Uncle Sam!
Money? We can only vote with our wallets and that's what we should do.

Why the world should say No to Sam Altman
They’re treated as persons because they’re owned by persons, and it’s a lot easier to refer to the legal fiction than it is to invoke the legal rights of all the owners (whoever they may be). A programmer should recognize a useful form of encapsulation.

The abstraction breaks under some circumstances. For instance, they get no voting rights (as voting can’t be done collectively by a group).

Whenever I've tried Svelte I've honestly had a horrible experience, which surprises me somehow. It definitely failed on the "magical, not magic" thing. The exact workings of $ is still extremely confusing

It's funny, a lot of the Svelte fans made me think that it would be very simple and nice, and that React was much clunkier, confusing, and implicit, but my experience was the total opposite
I started using Svelte a couple of years ago and I love it. Very quickly it became the only client side solution I want to use.

Can't say the same about SvelteKit though. I've tried it a couple of times and it's just not fot me. It's really a tool built around a client side library and it shows (instead of being a backend framework).

AI Boom Reawakens Silicon Valley's Housing Market
My point is not that it should be legal (as an NYC renter I’d be glad to see a cap on broker’s fees), but that we shouldn’t delude ourselves into thinking that artificial price ceilings would work if only we plugged one last loophole. For every loophole you plug there are two more. This is not true of, say, murder!

Whenever we artificially manipulate the market with ceiling prices, it necessarily means there will be some demand unfulfilled. A better approach is to build enough housing to satisfy the demand.
Judging by the last decade, Microsoft itself doesn't know what a Windows "native look and feel" is. I doubt anyone would miss stylistic touches, colors or form elements. Just get the basics right - alt-activated menu, ctrl-scroll to zoom etc.
Also worthy of mention ReactNative Windows which wraps around winui with JavaScript, which is widely used by Microsoft both on windows as office, also worth mentioning that FluentUI web is also widely used at Microsoft to build OS apps (copilot as an example) with wrappers of the chromium web view
idk, feature flags for the entire application seem ok to me.
The issue is when we want to add feature flags for part of the users, or only on a part of the application flow. Then it will become a mess.

Where I work, those feature flags are used to deploy a feature for a single application "run time", i.e. a country, which has its own cloud and everything.

BTW have you read the article on feature flags on Fowler's website? Could help you form some opinions

Either it will negatively affect the bottom line and stop, or diners will get used to it and it'll continue.

Or it'll actually boost profits from people having the menu on their phone for dine-out ordering, allow the restaurant to update pricing more easily matching their costs, and of course the savings from not having to print physical menus.

Time will tell. I'd bet on the latter.
Tell that to Mississippi which has s*t roads and no winter freezing/thawing or salt to consider. Broke ass red states can barely afford to keep their roads passable for the most part. There are a couple of exceptions where the states are willing to starve their children to keep the roads up, but most red states fail at both feeding kids and maintaining roads. If it wasn't for the cash infusion from the well off blue states, the red states would literally be third world.

> Because the project was big enough to warrant more than one person.

But based on what, the scope? If you weren't familiar with the tech stack how would you gauge that? I understand people can conceptualize frameworks at a high-level.

> I have a whole team surrounding me to handle non-technical/non-development incidentals.

Are these the people finding the junior or (5) devs that would be needed. Do they have experience with the framework to know how to scope the project? The hiring of 1 - 5 developers in-house or even as contractors is a labor intensive process so I'm not really sure companies would have just done it based on an idea of an application. I can see where they might have hired early based on winning a contract but they probably under estimated the work if that was the case or padded the cost to account for ramp-up time.

> Most companies would have had a lot more budgeted and would have pre-hired five devs.

Maybe you haven't worked places that do spikes or just allow people to develop prototypes without entire scoping documents or hiring people. Also keep an eye on your worth here. If you are saving the company the cost involved in getting (5) more developers then you should be getting a bonus or have decent compensation. A lot people fall in this trap of "saving" the company money as if its their own, its not, and unless you are getting some of that savings you are diluting your current pay and working twice as hard.

> Then everything would have moved glacially slow, fulfilling the prophecy that five devs were needed.

Yeah this is understood as the "mythicial man month" in terms of things slowing down. Adding the wrong head count is a planning and leadership issue. There is nothing stopping teams from being dynamic at a point but that depends on how long the application is going to be supported. Having (5) people now can spread out the working knowledge and workload enough that "no single" developer is holding up forward progress. If you are having to mentor people on the project or fix mistakes then they are the wrong people or wrong skillset for the team. A leader will be able to convey the issue to management and have people let go or replaced. People don't like to do this but there is no reason to keep a failed process going as we are all professionals. Alternatively people above you have accepted this as part of the application development process, it justifies their job, and are fine with it so getting the work done any faster is just a bonus to them.

But among youth the prevalence of smoking is increasing again, even if they buy less tobacco.

ETA: I guess you are objecting to my "worse than ever" characterization, and you are probably right, but it's shocking to drop into France where youth smoking is visibly more common than it was 15-25 years ago, mother-daughter smoking is a thing, young adult smoking might be only 40-50% but that's hard to differentiate from 100% and it's 10x higher than some other western nations so it seems crazy.
I just read in "Dealers of Lightning" [history of Xerox's PARC R&D lab] that an engineer optimized all the memory-handling bugs out of an early hardware prototype/product, only to necessarily return them because a consumer software program wouldn't run without these known bugs present (this was in the days of hand-woven memory beads for bootROM).

The fix was to re-implement the severe memory bugs in hardware, so the software would "work" correctly.

This is a great guide and something I wish I had in my undergrad.

I found that I sort of breezed through elementary and high school because I was smart enough to do well enough without any real studying. When I got to university, I had a pretty rough first year as I discovered quickly that 1) that didn't work anymore, and 2) I didn't actually know how to study. I eventually developed most of what's in this guide, but it would've been great to just have someone tell me this instead.

> Internal company communcation channels are open to inspection by the company.

That is the current rule (at least in some places), but we're conflating the issue of 'is it legal?' with 'is it right?'.

> Whether that company wants to use AI or pay for agents to read ever internal email is up to them.

IMHO this argument needs to be buried once and for all, especially on HN. Automation by computer transforms the power of otherwise manual functions. For example, government could always surveil people on the street, but they had to do it manually. With computers, using cameras and facial recognition, they can automatically track the entire population (theoretically, and later if not now). It's not the same thing as manual surveillance of a suspect.

> Want your bosses not to hear you rant about a new corporate policy? Don't sent such comments via company email.

All that said, I think there are legitimate questions. The mass surveillance enables management to stay ahead of any employee organizing or other political (as in office politics) moves - management knows before the employees themselves realize that lots of people agree with each other. That includes unionization, for example.

Yes, if the company allows it then you can communicate through outside channels, but can you reach the whole company there? That is certainly a hinderance to any mass activity.
