I built the Swytch Framework to exactly hit these spots. As far as I know, it’s the only templating system out there with contextual escaping (you write html, it parses the html using a streaming parser, escapes output, then writes it out).

I use it exactly for rapid dev of stupid ideas. I’m not sure if I’d use it in a production environment because it is quite slow.
I agree. It seems there are two conflicting views here.

"Firefox is a kind of browser, which happens to be running on a desktop."

"Firefox is a kind of desktop app, which happens to be rendering websites."

In the first, Firefox should act like other browsers because "browsers" are the relevant reference group. In the second, Firefox should act like other apps on the platform because the platform is the relevant reference group. Personally, I think the second view is simply correct. How often do you switch between browsers? For all but a few power users, switching browsers is vanishingly rare compared to switching desktop apps. This suggests that at least for browser chrome, desktop consistency is much more important than browser consistency.
At what point does it cease to be a framework and become just a regular line of code?

Is the only reason governments subsidize things for employment? Could it not just be here, have $3.1B and further us as a species by producing chips needed for AI, ML, cars, cellphones, etc.

We give giant science grants all the time, tons of money for infrastructure, etc, what makes this one immediately go into X dollars / jobs created * tax generated?
This is a neat hack, I like it :). Thanks for sharing.
Well if we're doing that, then you wouldn't use the curly brackets in the C style syntax example either. If you just make one ideomatic without making the other ideomatic, the comparison ceases to be fair. Anyway, doing that to both of them would make the comparison pointless, because the point wasn't to compare ideomatic code examples, but to compare the syntax in a general case, so writing them slightly unideomatically to show off the general-case syntax is fine, as long as both are written the same way to control for unrelated variables (like special-case syntactic sugar), which is precisely what the original comparison did: write both code samples in the most general way, and crucially in the same way, so we could directly compare the scanability of syntax. And imo C won by a mile.
I like the Photon-style version of this, looks pretty good.

If anyone is using Nix + Home Manager, I lazily set it up with my Librewolf configuration by just manually porting the preferences and then @importing from the Git repository. Could probably be done better (is there a good way to import other JS files from the user.js file?) but it works.

Much smaller (and better looking) tabs, and yeah, the addition of icons back to the menus is an improvement for sure.

This doesn't pass the sniff test for me... The article claims that plastic bag waste went from 4.08 tons to 5.89 tons per 1000 people from 2014 to 2022, then attributes that to the new heavier bags.

I don't have good numbers but as a terrible estimate let's say an old single use bag was 5 grams and a newer one is 30 grams.

If plastic bag weight really went up almost 50% per capita, using that assumption that an individual bag (which can now hold more since it's sturdier and doesn't need to be double-bagged, but we'll ignore that for the sake of estimation) increased in weight by a factor of 6, that means (unless I've done my math, if you use the term loosely, wrong) roughly one in five people never re-uses grocery bags.

Considering that a lot of people would be inconsistent about remembering reusable bags, you'd expect to see more than one in five people using the store provided bags on any given trip to the grocery store, and that doesn't align with my anecdotal observations whatsoever
I guess the value also depends on the remaining usability of the device. I must admit, for the past 2-or-so decades you are quite right: old iPhones, iPads, AppleTVs have been killed by Apple: they can't do a fraction of what they used to be capable of in their heyday. And their price indeed mirrors this.

Macs fared a bit better.

Let me extend my statement a bit then: if Apple doesn't press the self-obsolete-now button, then it will be a great relic.
If plastic bag bans annoy customers, wait until you ask people to wash and refill their single-use aluminum cans. Reusable bags are actually a pleasure to carry items and a minor inconvenience to schlep to the store.
> nobody wants to be a vector for exfiltration of customer data

I have a hunch that the companies that are most obsessed with this are also those who routinely outsource to third-world boiler rooms and are clients of very competent & secure companies such as Okta.
Plus looking at the screenshots of the "controversial" FF89 one of the biggest changes seems to be redesigning the tabs w/ more padding.

I didn't even notice that change because I have the top tab bar hidden and use Tree Style Tab that has a design which blends nicely with FF.

I don't like FF in particular but the tab tree is 100% enough of a UX gain vs all the small details chrome/safari does slightly better that I don't think twice (besides dev panel, I use chrome for frontend work).
I've seen this in places where they charge by the bag for trash pickup. Stores have bins set up for exactly that purpose. (Not sure if that's required or if they volunteer it.)

Ask HN: Do front-end developers fear the back-end?
As the frontier between frontend and backend is not clear in most people's minds (especially clients), frontend developers sometimes have to deal with backend requests: create an admin panel, an API or other features that require backend skills.

If you are a freelancer or working on a small team without backend developer, how do you handle those requests ? Do you give it a try or refuse or recommend someone else ?
Most ideas people have are rubbish so won't generate any revenue. When you're not generating any revenue then that should tell you that your widget is no good. Don't take that as an insult but the reality. So many startups are filled with folk who have wishful ideas but business is brutal and a no-good idea is just that. Do some market research to find out what is a useful widget. Few startups get lucky like Facebook and Google who happen to fall into their big area of revenue generation. That's pure luck and they have a graveyard of failed startup ideas. 99% of startups are rubbish that deserve to fail and are a waste of time.

Because they do not fix the underlying causes; and also they create perverse incentives. Most companies are in the business of extracting money and will see this as such: an opportunity to extract money and the product is bureaucracy checkboxes. It would make more sense, in this personal view, to restrict sales to domestic production only and make sure the field is even for competitors to out-compete one another. This guarantee the dependency aspect at least (as you already restricted yourself!).

Another solution: Move the manufacturing to a near-shore and friendly country (ie: Mexico or Puerto Rico) and keep the design part in the US. But of course, that wouldn’t be as politically popular and wouldn’t create the extraction opportunity (which lots of companies will want to benefit from).

Nah, that's not the right answer. It puts focus on the product rather than the founders. You do NOT need PMF to get 1-5 sales. If you can't even get there, it's bigger problems. PMF is needed to turn 2k MRR into 50k MRR.

In my case, it heavily stemmed from our inability to do sales (at all). We had feedback early about how this was an $XXXXX product (and we were in sales process for that) and it put blinders on us. We should've been okay with $XXX and grabbed 5-10 customers early.

Why we couldn't do sales is something I'm not going to put on the internet because it affects people other than me. (I have no issue talking about my shortcomings.)

I left that company and started another with a proven sales/marketing type within 2 months. The story is much different than my first. It's because he can sell.

Funny enough, I have a license to use my old product w/o selling it, so we do. We've gotten at least 10 customers asking to buy it. And they're fairly emphatic about it.

“To study ability, they matched a subset of their data on inventors with records of their math scores back when they were third graders.4 To study the role that circumstances play, the research team matched the inventor dataset with tax record data that allowed them to study the socio-economic situation they grew up in.”

That is when the credibility of the study is lost on me. Maths scores and creativity/innovation are not necessarily related. To invent, you not only have to pay attention (also curiosity and a keen sense of observation), you also have to work diligently, systematically AND, more often than not, diffusely. I would argue that these combinations are rare and may be the stuff that makes an inventor. Do economic circumstances play an important role? I think they might contribute, but I doubt that their contribution is significant. So many great inventions have come from people with very modest economic backgrounds (Edison, Faraday, Nikola Tesla, Alfred Nobel, to name but a few).
I think it's a learned ability. My wife grew up in a country that you can't really get around without knowing your exact sense of direction. She can easily remember streets and directions without much trouble.

I, on the other hand, used to navigate without GPS and had a much better sense of direction than I do now. I think GPS ruined it for me.
Your argument is a popular contrarian take, but it doesn't seem to hold up to the evidence: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/governme...

If California has a problem it isn't because bag bans don't work, it's because they've screwed up their implementation.

And yes, supermarkets do still use a lot of unnecessary plastic in packaging, but that's another issue that can also be tackled, and I haven't seen evidence that it has actually got worse since the plastic bag levy.

Arguing that plastic bags shouldn't be tackled because something else could be done is an argument to do nothing.

Plastic carrier bags were an absolute scourge a decade ago, they were everywhere. Their use has been absolutely decimated.

The arguments that people are secretly using more because they're no longer re-using them as bin bags or because they're buying "bags for life" instead are bad faith arguments that just don't hold up to the statistics or the reality of the situation.

Over 7 billion less plastic bags produced per year in the UK. That's a tremendous achievement.

The atoms themselves are far older, as they originated from some nuclear synthesis event in a star somewhere else (generally).

Rocks on earth are rarely that old, as they’re composed from sedimentation (aka they get weathered then deposited), metamorphosed (compacted and modified by heat and pressure), cool from a lava flow (basalt, etc). [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rock_types]

Each of those forms/types changes fundamental properties of the rocks which allows for dating.

Some rocks are literally only tens of years old, or even formed yesterday. Like basalt formed from lava from active volcanos.

Section 230 is designed to allow platforms to avoid liability from what users post, giving users the freedom to post their thoughts and content and shifting legal responsibility back to them.

Nothing wrong with that, and a net positive for the free flow of ideas.

The problem that arose is that platforms hired massive staff and developed algorithms to micro moderate all content to shift discussion in realtime to fit a relatively narrow ideological window. At some point these companies shift from a neutral platform to activist publishers.

They can't have it both ways, 230 was never intended to protect publishers.
Here in Maryland they have returned. We got rid of the plastic bags and they brought in paper. I think grocery stores are required to charge ten cents.

This doesn't make sense to me.

Taking it further -- all that matters is proximity to trade routes. SF has (had) a port, and so it grew first. Jobs resulted. The effects were compounded over years.

Sacramento has a river. The river is why Sacramento is not Vacaville. Also, it was selected as the state capital (partially for the available and inexpensive land!), which has greatly accelerated its growth.

Sacramento is the fastest-growing city in CA. It's actually almost as populous as SF, though of course much less dense. And the job market is good, but the jobs are not the same kind as in SF (and fewer are applicable to the typical HN denizen).

I really don't know what you're going for here. Different places are different, for myriad reasons. It's not as one-dimensional as you seem to suggest.

Oxford Economics estimates that there's a 6.7x multiplier on each new role created in the semiconductor industry[1]. That is, each role in the semiconductor industry supports an additional 5.7 jobs indirectly in other domestic industries. The only two sectors that are higher are Computer Storage manufacturing and Aircraft Manufacturing.

You'd need to split the pay between all 6.7 newly created roles, meaning they only need ~$60k take-home or so each - which is right around the US mean salary.

> It would be far better to promote banning of single serving aluminum cans

Uh, what? Aluminum cans are actually one of the things that can be easily recycled, and it's economic too. If anything should be done it is to mandate the introduction of bottle/can recycling machines like "Tomra" in the US.

> and plastic/styrofoam packaging for goods within the store.

That plastic packaging does actually serve a purpose which is not easy to solve in other ways though. People think plastic wrapped vegetables is stupid, but it helps keep the vegetables fresh for longer, which reduces waste.

There are organic compostable "plastic" films that should eventually be used instead. But it's work in progress.

Meanwhile, replacing a single use grocery bag for a reusable one is something that can be done instantly today.

In my city I think they outlawed plastic bags altogether. I haven't seen one in ages. The grocery markets will give you a paper one for a dime but many people use their canvas or insulated shoulder bags. They're sort of a fashion statement. You're not really from Berkeley unless you carry your produce home in a bag with the logo of some place that closed in the 1990s.
The OP was talking about "bag bans". Your linked article talks about a "bag charge". Those are totally different things. Bag bans force forgetful people to buy "reusable" bags that take more plastic to produce, and inevitably pile up an need to be disposed of. Bag charges don't have that issue, because you can continue to buy thin bags, just at a steep markup.
Funny, I stopped getting free or paid plastic bags before it was un-cool and un-eco, just because I was tired of throwing away a plastic bag full of plastic bags regularly. I just keep 2-3 around and reuse them now.

Perhaps we're just going with the wrong incentives.
Like VS Code, but for 2D graphics – PixiEditor 2.0 is announced
Free pixel-art editor is transforming into extensions powered universal graphics platform in incoming 2.0 update.
Yeah, I kinda plateaued like that for a few months and got frustrated to the point of giving up. Always the same-ish songs, same-ish patterns, same-ish things to train on and progress was somewhat limited or stagnant even. Then I started to take part in a weekly creative challenge to pick up some given drum patterns and create some weird riff around it and it's a great mind changer.

It's a great and fun mind changer and confidence builder. You learn: You can kinda do something cool. And suddenly technical training isn't something to do for a vague goal of being "a better guitarist" or "a better bassist". Suddenly, I have ideas in my head I cannot express because I'm not good, fast or precise enough. So I need to improve my rhythm counting and improve my precision with 16th notes. Or music theory isn't something to learn "because you're a better musician then", but because that knowledge results in finding more interesting melodies easier and quicker.
AstraZeneca unveils successes in treatment of lung cancer
By "fringe metal", they're likely talking about mainstream thrash and groove metal. And those bands where on these exact labels;

Reign in blood - Def Jam (1986)
Pantera - Atco /WB (1986)
Megadeth - Capital (1986)
Sepultura - Roadrunner/WB (1989)
Anthrax - Island/Universal (1985)
Bandcamp gives the highest % to the artist/label, and I would argue also the best place to buy music.
We introduced similar laws here in Portugal last year and my anedoctal observation is that most people buy the thicker bags at 10-20 cents. It is also very obvious that many items that used to be sold loose are now packaged or bring their own plastic or paper bag. I'm looking forward to the statistics next year.

EDIT: It is not clear above, I mean that most people don't reuse the bags, they just buy new ones each time.
Everyone is writing their pet peeves, so here are mine:

* Having a large tree of bookmark folders, navigating it to add a new bookmark is horrible in the small pop-up that is the "Add Bookmark" UI.

* The Bookmarks sidebar allows to search by name but not to find where they are. A bookmark search add-on (Bookmark search plus 2) solves this, but it shouldn't be needed.

EDIT: I've been told about right-click -> Show in Folder. This is great! Not the best UI, though (the mentioned add-on is still much more intuitive)

* Cannot have multiple sidebars. So you cannot have Tree Style Tabs opened (for vertical tab handling) and the bookmarks folders & search at the same time. Bonkers.

Actually, that's all. Mostly it's about handling of bookmarks! Not sure if the rest of the UI is just fine or that I got used to it and I'm now blind to its quirks, but I feel pretty comfortable with Firefox. I never felt a strong need to complain about style redesigns, like some other people do.
