Well this is fun... from the README here I learned I can do this on macOS:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome \
--headless --incognito --dump-dom https://github.com > /tmp/github.html

And get an HTML file for a page after the JavaScript has been executed.

Wrote up a TIL about this with more details: https://til.simonwillison.net/chrome/headless

My own https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ tool (which uses headless Playwright Chromium under the hood) has a command for this too:

shot-scraper html https://github.com/ > /tmp/github.html

But it's neat that you can do it with just Google Chrome installed and nothing else.

How large in lines of typescript are the projects you've used fp-ts or similar with?

We have about 3 million; when I discuss a slow type, i mean a type that contributes ~1 min of checking or more across all the uses in 3 million lines, analyzed from a build profile using Perfetto. I've looked at a generic-heavy library that's similar (?) to fp-ts, effect-ts (https://effect.website/), but I worry that the overhead - both at compile time with the complex types, and at runtime with the highly abstracted control flow that v8 doesn't seem to like - would be a large net negative for our codebase.

I found this site a few weeks back. It was built for generic astronomical clear-sky use in the US and Canada (at least) but it has this page[1] for weather along the eclipse track.

I loved this game and then this style of game (all the Tycoons, SimCity, AoE, etc.).

I did not know it, but it was my first experience with economics. I mistakenly thought that this is what policy planners _actually_ did in the real world. Imagine the disappointment when I found out that was not true.

Nonetheless, it ultimately inspired me to go into data science in market/competitive intelligence. First at hedge funds and now as my own startup.

I have never been able to shake the notion that build a real-time view of the real economy was the most interesting thing to work on.

I believe the numbers I quoted are averages, not only when the wind is blowing. Source: https://www.ewea.org/wind-energy-basics/faq/

Here’s a better number: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-many-homes-can-average-wind-tu...

> At a 42% capacity factor (i.e., the average among recently built wind turbines in the United States, per the 2021 edition of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Land-Based Wind Market Report), that average turbine would generate over 843,000 kWh (843MWh) per month—enough for more than 940 average U.S. homes

For comparison, an actual nuclear reactor in practical use produced 4,697,675 MWh in 2017. That’s the equivalent of 5572 of those wind turbines.

That’s a lot of wind turbines. But if we can build 278 wind turbines per year and it takes 20 years to build a new reactor. They’re even.

USA currently builds 3000 turbines per year.
https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-many-wind-turbines-are-install...

So I think even with 42% capacity, wind is winning. We’d need to build 10 reactors per 20 years (1 every 2 years) for nuclear to beat wind.

Amazon offering $5 credit for old Cloud Cams
I recently purchased new security cameras on Amazon. I used to have Amazon Cloud Cams, but Amazon discontinued supporting them and essentially made them useless. I’m a tech hoarder so I kept them in my box of future projects I will never work on. I wasn’t too angry because they sent me free Blink cameras to replace them.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31531783

Anyway, I just wanted to highlight that Amazon offered me $5 to ship my old Cloud Cams back to them. Not sure what they are going to do with them, hopefully recycle them somehow. But I think it’s worth highlighting that companies SHOULD be doing this and collecting old tech to reduce waste. So kudos.

Unicode doesn't have ‘umlauts’, and (with a few unfortunate exceptions) doesn't care about meanings and pronunciations. From the Unicode perspective, what you're talking about is the difference between Unicode Normalization Form C:

U+00FC LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS

and Unicode Normalization Form D:

U+0075 LATIN SMALL LETTER U
U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS

Unicode calls these two forms ‘canonically equivalent’.
I believe this suggests that we could CRISPR an embryo to knock-out the offending Alu element in the TBXT gene and the child will develop a tail.
I think 2004 and 2007 were industry defining. 2004 had CS:S, Half Life 2, GTA:SA, Halo 2, UT04, World of Warcraft (!) 2007 had Wii Sports (well, that was 2006...) Halo 3, COD4, Mario Galaxy, Assassins Creed, Portal, Bioshock, Uncharted.
In my opinion, only the reverse could be true, i.e. that Unicode does not need pre-composed characters because everything can be written with composing characters.

The pre-composed characters are necessary only for backwards compatibility.

It is completely unrealistic to expect that Unicode will ever provide all the pre-composed characters that have ever been used in the past or which will ever be desired in the future.

There are pre-composed characters that do not exist in Unicode because they have been very seldom used. Some of them may even be unused in any language right now, but they have been used in some languages in the past, e.g. in the 19th century, but then they have been replaced by orthographic reforms. Nevertheless, when you digitize and OCR some old book, you may want to keep its text as it was written originally, so you want the missing composed characters.

Another case that I have encountered where I needed composed characters not existing in Unicode was when choosing a more consistent transliteration for languages that do not use the Latin alphabet. Many such languages use quite bad transliteration systems, precisely because whoever designed them has attempted to use only whatever restricted character set was available at that time. By choosing appropriate composing characters it is possible to design improved transliterations.
Ahem! Remember "The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October Crisis (Spanish: Crisis de Octubre) in Cuba, or the Caribbean Crisis (Russian: Карибский кризис, romanized: Karibskiy krizis), was a 13-day confrontation between the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union, when American deployments of nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of nuclear missiles in Cuba." ?

This was probably 7 years ago, so it's not extremely fresh it my mind, but... It seemed to hurt more than it helped. It didn't clean everything up, and then everything was wet... and toilet paper isn't great at dealing with water. So I then had to dry things off, and then wipe, pretty much as normal.

Occasionally with a standard toilet I'll get Poseidon's kiss, and as gross as that might be, I can see the benefits of introducing water into the equation. However, with the bidet, it seemed like the water didn't clean stuff up, it just added water into the mix.

It's fully possible that I was doing it wrong. I tried to look up stuff online to learn what I might be doing wrong, but didn't find much. It was mostly just jokes or people glossing over the whole thing. I get it, it's an awkward topic, and if someone didn't learn growing up from their parents, or have a lot of time and will to experiment with it, it probably wouldn't go well.

When I was in India there were sprayers next to the toilets, the type we generally have next to the kitchen sink in the US. I wasn't brave enough to even attempt to use those in a public setting. Sanitary concerns aside, I wasn't sure how I'd possibly use it without making a mess.

I made a basic crawler using Firefox, thirtyfour https://docs.rs/thirtyfour/latest/thirtyfour/ and squid

Basically, I took a start URL for the crawl, and my program would load the page in Firefox using thirtyfour, and then extract all links from the page and use some basic rules for keeping track of which ones to visit and in which order. I had Squid proxy configured to save all traffic that passed through it.

It worked ok-ish. I only really stopped that project because of a hardware malfunction.

The main annoyance that I didn’t get around to solving was being more smart about not trying to load non-html content that was already loaded anyway as part of the page. Because the way I extracted links from the page I also extracted URLs of JS, CSS etc that were referenced.
I guess that would prove if it is human doable assuming it has the same input constraints. It might find an alternative way to pass the level?

"... by which they have taken over control over the gold price from the West."

Poor choice of words. While there may be increased demand from China and an increase in prices as a result, it's not like the regime sets the price of a globally traded precious metal, is cornering the market (like traders did with silver in 1980, https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/index/silver/silver-thursday...), or has taken such control from "the West."

You could boot it up, sit into Concorde at Heathrow, and circumnavigate the earth.

My dad tried to get me to use handkerchiefs when I was a kid. I had/have allergies and the volume I produced was too much for it. The idea of putting a cloth, wet with snot, back into my pocket to then use again was gross and didn't work.

A handkerchief might be fine for a little bit due to cold weather, or to wipe your brow when it's hot out, but when things get bad, they really don't seem like a good option. I can go through an entire box of Puffs in a bad day.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Though as far as I know rabies is eradicated in the dog and cat population in the west of the country, especially in Istanbul. Municipalities vaccinate stray cats and dogs. It happens in the more remote areas in the east, but mainly in the dog population. Rabies in cats is rare as far as I know.

The dogs are quite a big problem to be honest, but cats are ok. They don't harm people ir spread disease. One can argue seagulls are a bigger problem in Istanbul :)

I learned from a google search that these days upstream tree-sitter provides WebAssembly bindings.

Source: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/tree/master/lib/b...

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/web-tree-sitter

Download from the latest Github release: js file (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases/download...) and wasm file (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases/download...)

It's great to see upstream maintaining the bindings. I maintain a Typescript/Empscripten/WebAssembtly binding for quickjs and it's more involved than I would like.

Besides providing a WASM build, Emscripten can build a lot of C code to straight JS, which you can use in non-WebAssembly browsers, or in runtimes like Cloudflare or Vercel Edge that support WebAssembly but it's a pain in the behind. Unfortunately the tree-sitter upstream doesn't output such a build but given they already maintain the bindings it wouldn't be a lot of effort to pass the option to emcc (set -s WASM=0 -s SINGLE_FILE=1 instead of -s WASM=1)

It's painful to read because reactionary politics is one of the barest systems of control there is. The tragedy of presenting blue pill vs red pill as some all-encompassing dichotomy is the people who become aware of one social delusion and then think that a single realization means they've got everything figured out. The reality of trying to live in the red pill universe is having to remain ever vigilant for the never ending stream of pleasant-feeling memetic traps everywhere, including even for things that others describe as being red pills.

You could solve this other ways. Build a new better monolith and have a reverse proxy route between them and slowly update and move routes over. You will get through a rewrite slowly one bit at a time.

I’ve lived in both. This is a thing. NYC fans will say that nothing compares and only NYC is NYC, but people outside it do think of Boston as a baby NYC.

It has a ton of similarities to their urban fabric, but it’s just saw smaller. It has similar architecture, people, weather, etc. it’s a very walkable city, with a vibrant cultural scene.

It’s just… less than NYC. Less food choice, less cultural options, smaller, less transit, less jobs, less people, etc.

We're closer to building a Dyson swarm today then we are to workable fusion reactors though - as in, we technically have the technology and means to start building one right now - a series of solar-harvesting satellites in Earth-halo orbits beaming microwave power back towards us.

It would be inefficient, but there is no physical reason we couldn't do it.

The other problem is scale: Dyson swarm power levels are orders of magnitude greater then the amount of deuterium in the Earth's oceans. At those sort of levels, you can't use fusion because you don't have the fuel.

Finally, based on what we know there's some real problems with compact fusion: ITER and other big vacuum vessels are because we're at the materials science limits of how strong magnets can be without destroying themselves.
