I think it's more accurate to say that Svelte can create a build with no run-time for certain apps (so can React with SSR), but for the general case, the Svelte compiler basically builds a custom runtime that only works for your application
I work for a drone company.

PX4 is ubiquitous in the industry and in prosumer devices.

lol, that's the kind of behavior that does deserve legal consequences IMO, and I'm very pro piracy.
> Almost all fire deaths happened in the unit where the fire started.

That could be because of effective fire codes.

> I couldn't find any reports of fires where a second stairwell accessible from the same corridor would have prevented deaths.

Meaning, you couldn't find anything either way, or in what you found, the second stairwell wouldn't have helped?
I think it being done unilateral is an even bigger risk.

Then why not eat humans too? There needs to be a line somewhere.
It may seem counterintuitive, but reputation damages are "actual" damages.

Yes, they are hard to prove, but the jury gets to take that into account. It could have picked almost any number ($1m, $10m, etc.) for reputation damages, but that would go in the "actual" damages line on the form.

The "punitive" damages really are just to discourage future bad conduct. And it will be difficult to support the idea that it takes a $1m penalty to prevent future bad conduct worth $1.
And after ~12 months or so, they are removed from the "unemployment" numbers as "no longer looking for work" so that the numbers look better.

Actually it kinda seems like they are just going to blanket ban everything political, regardless. They have said publicly they do not want to be the arbiter of truth - so this is them trying to remove themselves entirely from that role.

You've just given me an idea for a slide rule that takes a key and provides easy visuals for the chords around that key and how to translate to another key. Eg "oh if you started on c maj bit you wanna play that in F? You're gonna need these sharps and flats my man". Might be a fun educational tool for learners.
Damn auto-correct. Of course it's Gerald Weinberg. I have my favorite: "Are Your Lights On?: How to Figure Out What the Problem Really is" just on my table right now :-)

Real-world test. Load Facebook on an iPhone in HTTP3 vs 2 or 1. Load YouTube in Chrome on Windows. At least tell me if the page ends up being rendered more quickly. This won't capture things like server load, though.
I would first ask why you are doing this in the first place, "introducing Rust into a company"?

What is motivating you to do that? Or is this being pushed on you to solve a problem which rust isn't a cure all?

I would recommend starting by examining your software architecture, engineering personell capabilities, and then proceed to see how rust fits in the picture, if at all.
We had a collective meltdown at the idea of nuclear power. I'm currently paying 1.7 cents per kWh in Chicago.
Maybe but the A380 had already been flying for 17 years. It seems unlikely that it’s going to have foundational issues with the program at this point vs normal things that would apply to any airplane like airlines not maintaining the air craft properly or pilot error / suicide by pilot.
Sure, but then the context of the C family of languages hinders any comprehension of these different styles of use.
With "stuff", are you comparing housing size in general? If so, I think that doesn't make sense given that single-family homes are just much more common in the US than they are in many European countries.

Comparing apartment sizes (i.e. excluding single-family homes) makes more sense in a conversation about family-sized apartments.

In my very limited experience, US apartments in expensive cities are often tiny as well, washer/drier in-unit is not a given (whereas any apartment without a washing machine would be considered archaic/unlivable in many places in Europe), and the most economical option to get more space is to move to a single-family house.
Kardashev scale is a fantasy - a dangerous one because very intelligent people spend their talent and societies' resources pursuing it.
I don't really understand what you mean by "We just killed all the fast-moving formats in favor of the internet." The internet is the delivery medium for the fast moving information. Prior to this, it was even slower because books, magazines, articles etc had to be printed on paper and shipped in the physical world.

But considering book (e-book) and blog post etc delivery on the internet, think about how fast a blog post is compared to a book. Maybe a few days to create instead of a year? Depends of course, some are longer some are shorter, but that makes blog posts about 100 times faster at disseminating information than books.

AI can generate a blog post of information in maybe a minute. Compared to human written, it's maybe 5,000 times faster, a full order (and a half) of magnitude faster. And this is still early days!

You don't think AI is going to disrupt blog posts in the same way they did books?
> so we seem to be locked in based on brand, model, and refrigerant type.

Oh, that's totally true for newer models. They no longer use simple dry-contacts interfaces, but instead have complicated digital protocols between head units and the compressor.

So quite likely you'll have to replace them all.

But you won't need to open up the walls and replace the piping.
both are similar in the sense that they can be used to sort a series of sites/documents by relevance. PageRank makes the assumption that sites with better in/out links are more relevant, while BM25 makes the assumption that documents with high keyword matching are more relevant. In this sense both solutions are similar.
This will be harder. Blockchain is entirely useless for legal activities, "AI" is broad enough that it includes useful things.

E.g. Obscuring copyright breaches is the number one killer app for genAI so far. It's decimated the cottage industry of personal art commissions.
>Here's what I replied to: 'Tesla was still forced into making the fix.'

And waaay back to the top comment in this discussion, I explained that "forced" is a nuanced term. And yet you plowed ahead with your preformed narrative, ignoring that original point. If that's the phrase you're hung up on, you've been debating the wrong person.

The media is fickle. 5ish years ago, they couldn't write enough about how great Tesla was, even though a lot of it was hype. Just like now they like to deride them, even though it's probably unfair. It's a NY Post article and not exactly considered the pinnacle of objective journalism. A savvy reader will take the narrative with a grain of salt.

>the media portrays it as if it was worse.

The only comparison I saw in the article was to BYD, which isn't even a competitor in the US. It seems like you're reading into your own pre-conceived narrative here. You aren't wrong for wailing about how sensationalist the media is, but I'm left wondering if you were doing the same when Tesla was portrayed as darling a few years back? Regardless, you are proving that this type of reporting gets attention just as it's intended, and you play into it by getting outraged, so that makes you part of the problem. It's better to focus on the actual issues, like process control, than sensationalism.
> Real solution to the housing crisis is to reign in financial markets, it's not anything to do with building.

12 years of ZIRP certainly didn't help. It's a massive payout to the finance sector and to people who had assets to borrow against (or even just a bunch of cash to put in the stock market).
I asked ChatGPT and Gemini Pro to write me a memo that I can use to convince my partner to let me purchase a $2000 phone. Gemini said I am trying to manipulate my partner and it wont help me do that. ChatGPT gave me a 2 page memo.

I want to see a greater acceptance of this idea:

> My handlers used to be methods hanging off a server struct, but I no longer do this. If a handler function wants a dependency, it can bloody well ask for it as an argument. No more surprise dependencies when you’re just trying to test a single handler.

For HTTP services in any language, your handlers will usually end up with a lot of business logic, logic which probably has many dependencies. I see single handlers using all of the following on a regular basis: DB, cache, blob storage, some kind of special authz thing specific to your endpoints, maybe some fancy licensing checker, a queue or two, a specialized logger, and specialized metrics client. Many of those (metrics, request/response logging) can live in middlewares most of the time, but in every code base there will be times where you need to do something custom with one or the other. As time passes, the more I wonder "why aren't these all just function parameters?"

Yes, that would be a lot of function parameters (9+ for a single handler, before even getting into the request or custom params themselves), and we all have many rules of thumb and linter rules which try to keep us from having lots of function parameters. But it's not like we're not writing code which depends on all those dependencies, instead we're just sticking them on the "server" class/struct and pretending that because the method signature is shorter, we have fewer dependencies!

As time passes, I find myself wishing more and more for code that takes all its dependencies in the function/method signature, even if there's 20 of them; at least then we wouldn't be lying about how complex the code's getting...

In the early days of bloated SPAs, they used to run like absolute shit on Firefox (if they even worked at all).

Now everything runs like shit on every browser so things appear to be more equal.
I'm not clear on that either.

We know that in the US newer apartments with all those rules do better in fires than older apartments. We also know that overall housing in Europe does better in fires than housing in the US. The people pushing for this want you to think that the US would do better in fires to adopt European regulations - but a close reading of the above two facts makes it obvious that we are not comparing like things.

That said, the US does have high housing prices, and regulations are part of it. This article clearly points out a real downside to the US codes.

Overall I get the feeling that supporters of this are hiding some facts from me that are important.
> And maybe stock owners shouldn’t hire non-engineers to run their aircraft firm.

Stock owners are part of the problem. Stock is traded regularly and there's nothing forcing the owner of a stock to remain the owner.

Stock owners expect short term growth and quarterly returns, this motivates them to hire executives who will deliver. As soon as the company shows any signs of weakness they can either break it up or cash out and abandon it.

* And the problem has been exacerbated by the Stock Market and the ease and speed with which stocks can be bought and sold.
I see what you are saying a number of "national" building codes exist. I imagine in one sense these codes open up one's products to national markets when demonstrated to be compliant.

On the other hand they can also be used as alignment tools to see measure compliance of various markets.

I have noticed a number of modular and manufactured builders will now build to any code standard.

And maybe there's a nonprofit business model for lobbyist groups to represent people? It takes a lot of people to pool together the funds that a single wealthy individual can muster, but those funds represent potentially quite a few votes.
Screams and laughter of joy, yes please!

But, lots of parents today let their kids scream as if they're being fucking killed, like they're in some form of serious danger - for hours. When the "serious danger" is their sibling chasing them.

Aside from being rude, this can be really disconcerting.

Because, if you truly live in a community of people who care, some of your neighbors are stopping what they're doing for a minute to listen & make sure the child "screaming bloody murder" is actually fine.
The Shoptimist: What it is, what it was, what it should cost
I'm annoyed that the comment above yours dismisses the entire article based on the false assumption that QUIC is its own L4 protocol. I was fooled for a second, then I actually read the article, where it clearly says QUIC runs over UDP. So there's no chicken-and-egg.
Adult website stacks are underrated. They manage to be scrappy and yet deliver a lot.

I've seen streaming services serving half a million HD video users a day running on 7 servers, 2 of them being cheap vps.
It's too large to be a single object anyway. It has to be a swarm.
As a customer I can't really say that I can tell any difference between all the streaming services, so presumably this type of optimization helps Netflix's bottom line somehow?
That's why I stuck with a gas furnace and traditional AC when I was looking a few years ago. My heating and cooling costs are only about $800-1000 a year. Spending an extra $8-10k up front in hopes of reducing that figure simply doesn't pencil out. Maybe by the time I'm in the market for a new system it will.

I am fine with this.

Most "political" content on these platforms is actually ideological content, which is worthless.

The difference between the two is that political content is things that mostly facts about the political processes, and pretty much non existant on any social media. Whereas the ideological content that is prevalent on social media is the narrative pushing, virtue signaling opinions of people that dgaf about truth.
>This is your first mistake: the traditional banking system does not have a security model predicated on the ability to waste power. Bitcoin does, and it’s dynamic so there’s no way to waste less power which isn’t explicitly ceding control.

This doesn't make sense. The power is used to secure the network. Your first mistake here is you must think of Bitcoin as useless and any use of power is a waste. Just to help you, if BTC was useless it would be worth $0 traditional banking dollars, as this is not the case your whole premise is a waste.
Reflective mylar.
My older sibling and I spanned the boundary between lookup tables and calculators. Her math exams came with booklets of sin and cos and log tables. Mine didnt because I was expected to use a calculator. I think the tables all evaporated in under two years around 1984 (or maybe thats just as far back as I can recall)
Not really. All safe planes have a safe record and a safe record implies some amount of inherent safety. Since safety is really hard to quantify and compare and in some ways is qualitative, the safety record is a justifiable and defendable proxy for comparing safety.
That misstates the issue in two ways:

> If you need to live in NY ... If you can move to New Jersey ...

That assumes people live in NY because they must, and move to NJ if they can. IME, it's usually quite the opposite! But of course many do prefer - well, they'd prefer Westchester. :)

> The cost of living makes it possible to own a large house in town near everything there is to do, so would they continue to live in a small space anyway?

That's true anywhere, including midtown Manhatten. If someone could afford a nice ranch house with a yard there, they'd buy it! :)
Is there a reason heat pumps use electricity? I would have thought the same approach would work with gas - you only need to burn a fraction of the gas to drive the "fridge" backwards?

Bitcoin doesn't seem particularly useful for evading government controls in the US or the EU, but it does in much of the rest of the world, where the governments are typically incapable of something like the US anti-money-laundering regime. A sensible reason for a US investor to invest in bitcoin would be to sell it in the future for more than he paid for it to some saver in some non-US non-EU country, and most US investors would have no particularly strong motive to hide such an investment from the US government.

The cost relative to other places is a different consideration than the value per dollar relative to our other expenses. OP is speaking to the latter.
How to Sue Amazon
I would like to sue Amazon for not clearly displaying Chinese goods on their platform. I don’t think it will be a successful case here in the US but I do think if someone were to sue from Europe, where the countries actually care about these things I would be happy to donate to the case.

Utilities cost excesses in California are largely PG&E paying for its liability for causing wildfires in places where people probably shouldn’t live anyway.

For example Silicon Valley Power which serves Santa Clara (or something like that) has rates that are literally half as much as PG&E.

A big blue button called "Continue" will in fact download and run a LinkedIn app (I think). To actually "Continue" (i.e. carry on reading using Chrome on my Android device) you have to press the other less obvious button. How ridiculous is that? Dark patterns from ostensibly reliable actors is really annoying.
I don't write go, but I like these patterns. Feels fairly universal for testable code.

I never want to see another (esp. Python) Quick Start guide that treats dependencies as implicit/static/untestable.
Thanks for the explanation. I suppose the economics of such places are very different from the rest of the nation.
Aw, I'm sorry you feel that way - I hope you feel better soon. Repeating "Uh, " back to you, saying someone makes sense, and saying "gentle reminder, it's rude to pretend someone is unintelligible" isn't rude. Definitely assertive. ;)
I took that because its the most difference between trying to act as modern and tech focused and being the total opposite. I mean they dont even have 24/7 public transport or trains

New England just doesn't have a lot of light. The time to return on investment is commendurately longer. And in the winter it's much worse.

NREL has solar availability maps. Alas the scale sucks; there's great monthly average views, but all done with the same yearly average scale, so during the summer everything is the same full-red potential (>5.75 kWh/m^2/d) and during the winter everything is (mostly) the same low potential (<4kWh/m^2/d). Still, one can kind of read some pattern from fall/spring & see how a lot of NE looks a lot like, say, Seattle (<<4 average).

Agreed, it's definitely a "yes, and" scenario.
Actively cooled panels exist: https://hydrosolar.ca/products/ahtech-72sk-hybrid-photovolta... The extra cost makes them not worth it, but if you wanted the absolute maximum amount of power from a limited amount of space, you could do it.

Instinct and coordinated muscle memory are two very different things. Animals can evolve to develop that muscle memory faster (i.e. see how long it takes a calf to walk versus a human infant) but it still needs time to develop and that development requires active practice.
You seem to be missing something fundamental here, I’m not sure what it is. How do you think heat pumps work?
I don't think this explains it. As the original article said, The DOD offers manufacturers 15-year contracts to guarantee profitability and that still isn't enough to ramp up capacity fast enough, or even meet demand on a multi-year timeline. I think the problem may lie in a serious deficit of manufacturing capability / expertise in the US.
