If I had the money I'd totally use something like this for HN for example. Set the background to transparent, maybe separate the comments from each other, and you can see your legs or your mug in the spaces between comments, this sounds something that I'd totally do.
Given that both seem to be continuously self-updating subscriptionware, can you even install a specific version that's older than a year or two?

I would love one of these displays that integrates smart film for a real "frosted glass" look. And since it's smart film, it'd be able to become totally transparent too.

Should have said “in practice may used like a register page” as I saw a lot of work are based on this practice.

For the “not much difference” would it be intended because it is using space to trade of low speed. Given this page use less space and less speed, would it still be important.
fine i'll minify it then
Just last night, I ate some red jalapeños that I could barely taste at all. Not just not spicy - free of flavour.
Yes, it sucks as a monitor.

But I want one. I am normally a form of function guy, my entire setup looks cobbled together but is comfortable and speedy... But man I wish I could live in the future and at my age I am ready for playing pretend with a laptop like that.

Ask HN: Slow thinkers, how do you compensate for your lack of quick-wittedness?
Slow thinking HN members, what are some strategies you've use to overcome and compensate for the lack of quick thinking.

E.g. I found I'm great at analysis or putting together elaborate argument but if I'm in a situation where I need to make a quick decision or get in actual argument I lose all of that capacity and usually drop to the level of IQ 85 if I/m to be judged by the outcomes. Nevertheless a slow thinker does have that potential there he's jut not able to tap into it if he falls into my category. In martial arts, rehearsing overcomes a lot of that - what has worked in real life for you?
A while ago I made this: https://derhuerst.github.io/berlin-subway-guide/

It is based on someone's enormous body of CC-licensed photos of cities in Europe, especially their public transportation systems. [1] – I re-use the photos by assigning them to the station IDs in Berlin's official transit dataset. [2]

I was able to grasp hooks after an initial distaste. But once I started hearing about hydration, I just felt this…weariness. It’s why I’ve never been interested in NextJS and definitely not interested in RSC.

I’m open to having my mind changed, but I really don’t like having abstractions cross the network boundary.
> people complain at programming language developers when they dare use that language to develop other software

Interesting. That sounds very weird. Do you have any example you could point at?
+1 for mobX. Dead straightforward, does one thing and does it well. Only worry is that it increasingly feels like an outsider in React. I'm working on an app that uses React, web components and mobX, and upgrading to React 18's concurrent rendering breaks stuff, and I'm not sure which of my relatively niche technologies (mobX or WC or maybe the interaction of the 2?) causes it.

Preact has been looking increasingly attractive as a library that does its own thing and nothing more. Anyone knows if preact signals are basically a drop in replacement for mobX?
I use Syncthing on my PCs and NAS, and Backblaze to trivially do a 3-2-1 backup strategy.

My work directories are synced on all devices. With my NAS up 24/7, I can always pick up the last changes when I switch computers. The irreplaceable documents (all my notes, taxes, company accounting,...) are also backed up by the NAS on Backblaze, keeping all versions. I occasionally create a snapshot on Backblaze for those files – should totally automate that but I'm lazy.

I do agree though: it's more "syncing stuff between multiple places" than a real backup.
Reddit's $60M Deal with Google Will Feed Generative AI
OpenSCAD will definitely be more efficient but not as many people speak it fluently. When we learn or talk about objects, we do it in English, even if we have to resort to very technical jargon. I think this is a case of opening it up to more people rather than making it more efficient for people who already do this.
Wow the overhead projector. Such a blast from the past. This is when things got even more boring than the death by powerpoint of today :) usually black and white and a nerdy professor speaking in monotone for a whole hour or more.
It's all commodified. Think about it: how do you know someone is a "punk?"

They look a certain way. They listen to certain music. Hang out in certain places. Behave in certain ways (e.g., 80s punks were all about "anarchy" and "damage").

At the end of the day, it's a "kit" or "package" that someone adopts and "wears" as a personality and belief system. They just tell themselves it isn't because they desperately want to feel unique and one-of-a-kind.

The only real punk is the first person to define the look. Like the SLC Punk clip I linked above explains: everybody after them is just a "trendy ass poser."
What we know about Tether
It became the most popular in the landscape where all kinds of other frameworks existed. Because nothing beats immediate-mode-style API in terms of code clarity.
Maybe if you do simple low skilled manual labor and have large employee churn. (Can't read the article.) Companies doing high technology work are more constrained by actually being able to find capable people, no matter where they operate.

I don't think tech companies in countries like Finland find unions or legislation a problem whatsoever at all. NVidia has a small technology development office here in Helsinki. I bet they have to pay a lot less than in Silicon Valley.
Surprise to learn as not noted over there that pdp-8, z80 and 68000 all have
similar arrangement, i.e. it has less code size for accessing the zero page or its equivalent. Is that widely used over these? Not talk as much as zero page when learning retro computing.
I'd like to see it, when you sit opposite someone with a laptop it does feel like a bit of barrier, perhaps this would lessen that? Hard to imagine without actually trying it, which I don't imagine would be happening to me anytime soon!
At this point people should already be looking to move away from react to something better like svelte, Vue, htmx.

Why anyone would start a project with react in 2024 be beyond me.
An FFI resource of this kind needs to be finalized via the FFI, almost by definition. So the problem isn't whether you can do data flow analysis in the host language, it's whether you can do sufficient analysis of the language that you're embedding (assuming what you're embedding isn't an opaque call to some library for which you only have an ABI, which is the usual way to do FFI).
Next up, AI that adds feet to Rob Liefeld's 90's artwork. :-) (Note: I still love his work)
Telling people to "strive for balance" sounds wise but never really lands, because humans are inherently unbalanced in our desires. Everyone has different priorities.
Perhaps this could make useful synthetic data for improving large language models improving code, because you could have two pairs of code, better code, and the terrible code. This is probably already done internally at the top AI labs.
If forgiving bills for this kind of a thing is a standard practice, how come this was the customer support's first reaction:

>We normally discount these kinds of attacks to about 20% of the cost, which would make your new bill $20,900. I've currently reduced it to about 5%, which is $5,225.

20% and 5% are quite a bit higher than forgiven.
I'm pretty effective at my job (embedded software) and I have a decade of pretty solid experience writing device drivers and debugging some really tough issues. But I always feel like I'm not at all ready for the caliber expected on the US job market. I joined a startup so that I could be pushed harder and to prove to myself I can thrive in an environment where it is expected that you will put in 300% effort.

Who knows maybe I'll give it a go in a couple of years.
A HUD only makes sense if it's projected at a similar focal distance to the other stuff you're looking at, which this also doesn't do. So it's not really useful for that purpose either.
I think it's more of a "since we've been paying so much for the MIC for decades, now is the time to actually put that money to use"
Nearly. My personal projects are committed to git, and a shell script "deploys" them on a VM.
Yes! That's the one, thank you.
I'm really surprised by the variety. Having lived in Berlin for 6 months I completely missed that detail.
edit: Never mind, I re-read your original comment. Yes I agree that making major changes is less of a paradox. Never mind.

I'm surprised also by your take on the paradox. I've always understood that the difficulty lay with the use of identical materials to replace the old ones.

It might be clearer to consider the similar formulation of 'Trigger's Broom' from the show Only Fools and Horses on UK tv. Trigger has the 'same' broom for years, despite having replaced the head several times, and the handle several times. Clearly the same materials are used here.

I would say that replacing the wooden planks with metals ones is less of a paradox - that is more clearly a different ship! Replacing the decayed planks with other decayed planks makes no sense, so I don't understand your perspective on this ...

OpenAI's Sora is racing into a brave new world of misinformation
I hate the hype as much as the next guy but even I can see it’s clear as day ”gen ai” is here to stay on some form or another. Denying it is plain ignorance.

Also denying it’s real world use is very ignorant as well. I have used generative ai very little yet I’ve gotten very real world use out of it. Image generation for a lecture to conceptualize something as pictures. Help in programming something fast in something unfamiliar. (Needed to use an azure sdk in java which I hadnt used before - instead of reading documentation chatgpt gave me a very usable example and I did the integration part of the work in minutes. I did check some things from docs afterwards, but the example sped the progress by a lot.)

Gen ai saves too much time / money / effort on several tasks not to keep on existing. I don’t deny a possible bubble, but a bubble and real world use are not mutually exclusive in the least.
The "Boring company" is perhaps the weirdest of all the Elon-y endeavours, simply due to how incredibly far behind the state of the art it is. The channel tunnel, which, next to this, looks like science fiction (two wide rail tunnels plus a service tunnel 50km under the sea, built in 6 years; even the service tunnel is wider bore than Musk's car tunnels), is essentially early 1970s technology (actual commencement was delayed over a decade for political reasons).

It's a bit like if SpaceX proudly rolled out a clone of the Sputnik launcher and all the fans had to pretend it was visionary magic.
How come a post with so many votes and comments, submitted just 4 hours ago, is already on the 3rd page? Would have missed an interesting discussion haven't I seen a link to it on Reddit
I do and I know other developers who do it. On multiple projects I've worked on we had a dev server and production server, cloud instances on AWS or GCP. Developers work over ssh on the dev server (in their own copy of the web app), either with ssh+vim or VSCode over ssh. Deployment to production amounts to a git pull and maybe updating the database schema.

Advantages: Controlled dev environment. No more days-long getting the app to work on a new developer's laptop. Can change dev environment and tools in one place. All developers can see each other's work and collaborate at any time. Dev environment identical to production and easy to refresh as needed.

Disadvantages: Network latency, though less of a problem that I expected. Must have internet connection to work (at least to see the changes and test). A more subtle disadvantage is a lot of developers can't use the Linux command line at all, or not effectively, and some sulk about having to learn "the terminal."

If I know I'll be traveling or without internet I can git pull the source and work on my laptop with no internet connection, the rsync to my dev instance later.
Minify + Shittier seems like a fun idea to make analysing the code even more painful :D
I am a Netlify Pro customer. I was not aware of this unlimited spending concept. This is simply unacceptable from a risk-perspective.
All these features sound interesting in isolation, but I can't help thinking that react is stuck on the same treadmill its been on for years.

They keep solving important problems like memorization bugs, but these problems are all self inflicted. The API keeps getting more complex, and with a goal of backwards compatibility everything is additive.

Actions as a generic concept look interesting, but the idea of having every library expose both onSubmit and submitAction is just going to make things more confusing. I guess you use events for old code, and actions when you want the option to send the event to the server depending on the "use server" directive or pragma? And when the next thing comes along, I guess every library exposes 3 different ways to handle a form submit event?
I've always wanted to do something like that, but honestly, I've never had the time to do it before... so let's play!

Aside from looking cool, it’s really hard to imagine where Lenovo sees the product market fit for this.
I think it depends on what you're using the free plan for. If you're kickstarting a business and manage to attract a wide audience by getting featured on HN/Reddit/the news, you may want to sacrifice a few thousand dollars for the user growth that all of this traffic provided. Paying enterprise pricing doesn't necessarily make sense if you're normally getting less than a few thousand visits per day. Same goes for all the hip and cool server solutions such as "serverless" cloud functions.

The core product is already enterprise-grade. Netlify's pricing page basically turns into a "contact sales" button when you select "enterprise", probably for businesses that did their math and are trying to get a discount. Everything about their website seems to target medium to large businesses or hopeful startups.
If you're ever i Vienna i can really recommend the historical art museum, to my surprise i found myself in a room with dozens of automatons:

https://www.khm.at/objektdb/?id=11227&L=0&q%5B%5D=automaton&...

I was absolutely floored at the detail and the descriptions of what these different relics would actually do - super advanced! Many of them were made as centrepieces for banquets but looked way too important for that (can't impress fellow members of the aristocracy too much).

I distinctly remember a ship that would drive around on the table, with music coming from inside of it - many of the men looked like they would move around on deck - and finally the ship would fire real tiny cannonballs across the table, imagine that at a dinnerparty in 1585, almost 500 years ago!

Depends on the stick, I have a couple of ~15 year old sticks that still work 100% reliably whenever I need a 4GB installation media, compared to HDDs that are less than 2 years old and riddled with remapped sectors :/

I think I've only ever thrown away 1 USB stick due to failure, microSD is my nemesis when it comes to putting 'reliable' and 'flash' in the same sentence, everything else seems to last just fine as long as it's not used constantly.
> There's got to be another word for 'magic' to describe this kind of behavior because this is on a whole other level

As far as I understand that quote, it's just about "reference equality" vs "value equality", something most programmers deal with often but maybe frontend programmers aren't used to it? Not sure why the quote doesn't include that naming for it, maybe it would help people connect it to concepts they already understand.

FWIW, I also think React has gotten to complicated and bloated, but I've been thinking that since hooks were introduced if not before, and mainly use React indirectly via Reagent, not directly.
Important caveat: It's not dangerous at all if streets are designed for it.

My city's roads are a dumpster fire due to one-wheel idiot-devices, electric scooters, and other micromobility.

With the exception of one-wheel idiot-devices, I've seen all the same stuff work in other cities beautifully, which had adapted infrastructure to them. I love micromobility done right, and I hate it done locally.
I'm working with a company who are very happy on it currently. It still works really well for them, they're ok with the cost relative to the rest of their costs.

I don't know why people are shocked by Apple anymore. We know exactly what to expect from them.

If you want to support a terrible company, then you can endure the terrible results.

What are we trying to achieve here? A u-turn on a terrible decision so that we can keep using Apples devices in complete ignorance for yet another decade or until their next disgusting move? How about we let them be terrible and go elsewhere?

No way I'm signing this, you've all made your bed now lie in it.

Let me guess, massive amounts of taxpayers money was paid to them to create this font, that they do not even open source and allow no modifications and such.

Also, the font looks pretty generic and nothing special or unique. I do not see much value here, there are probably 100 fonts that look pretty similar to this.
Its kind of funny trying to figure out how something - and actually what - could be done with it together with scores of clueless - and many times unpatiently frustrated - community participants. I feel like the Unity developers find it funny to watch too, otherwise they would not redo half baked essential 'solution' (inaccurate choice of word here) units into a different but a little bit more complicated half baked solution without proper explanations, so using Google in lack of real help would shuffle clueless chatter of the poor bastards ironically titled 'users' and 'community' ('support group' would be more proper) about multitude of versions together. Nice game of puzzle trying to figure out what the heck is this about on the end. If you are there just for fun.

Why do you bother saving the stakeholder from themselves?
As an industry we need to try to make sure that if this holds anything back it is Apple users not everyone else. The platform being deliberately broken in a childish hissy fit should not be allowed to be an inconvenience to users of other platforms.

Instead of not implementing features because they won't work on iOS state that your stuff works on standards compliant browsers, if the user has a system that is deliberately standing in the way of standard features then some things may not work as well as expected and they should contact their system vendor, not the app vendor, for resolution.

Unfortunately this will be difficult because iDevice users tend to be a mix of cultishly supportive of their platform¹ and/or bully like in demanding what they want from people that are not Apple, so this stance might be hard for those with commercial interests to take.

Away from DayJob I have the luxury of being able to declare Apple platforms to be at best a third-class citizen³, maybe forth³ or worse, when it comes to support in anything⁴ I do, but we'd not get away with that in DayJob.

I'll be adding to all my personal online output a statement to the effect “As Apple have a record of not properly implementing standards in a timely manner, and even retroactively breaking features when they have a hissy fit with regulators who try to stop them bullying developers, I can not guarantee that this site/app/other will work on Apple operating systems.”.

----

[1] If <something> doesn't work on the platform <something> must be broken or just a <something> that no one would ever want, it isn't the platform's fault.

[2] If <something> doesn't work on iDevices then its name will be beaten up until it gives in and hands Apple its lunch money.

[3] 1st class is “if it anything doesn't work, this is a serious problem to be addressed ASAP, how did this shit go live?”, 2nd class is “everything should work, if it doesn't then I'll look into it quickly, maybe less quickly if it is just a display/UX issue rather than broken functionality”, 3rd class is “it should work as it is compliant with relevant standards (official or generally accepted), if it doesn't I'll try to resolve as soon as practical”, 4th class is “I think it might work, if it does work for you then great, if it doesn't then rest assured that I don't actually care”. 5th is “I do not intend this to work for you, instead telling me if I won't make it work you'll go somewhere else, skip a step and just go away immediately”.

[4] even things that don't depend on features currently known to be broken by Apple – if they will deliberately break an existing feature now what is to say they won't do the same to others in future?
