Vercel has great products (both their hosting product and Next.js). If we look back far enough, some of Next.js’s most killer features (e.j. ISR) had tight coupling with their hosting platform. In the last year, Vercel has really upped their game. The Vercel-specific features are becoming encapsulated with replaceable delegates and Vercel has started differentiating with additional services. This is great! Vercel is innovating with new infrastructure (e.g. KV) while also increasing the portability of Next.js applications. We (Firebase) are going to use these more portable APIs to offer similar experiences and Google, Vercel, and others will differentiate on their IaaS ecosystem. This benefits developers immensely because it eliminates lock-in fears because Next.js will have proof of portability in market and you no longer have to couple your infrastructure and framework decision making. It’s a bright future for web developers in general!
Ahh interesting... so that would explain the function definitions that were missing for certain functions that were called!

Motivation: I want to hurt, annoy and disrupt the lives on Americans, even in seemingly insignificant ways. My purpose is to cause chaos.

Logistics: I am financed by a nation/state unfriendly with the US.

You could say that no nation state would shell out the money for something like this, but as long as it's relatively cheap (<$100k) and causes disruptive chaos, there will always be buyers for this kind of capability.
I use a big 4k monitor from Dell. Not sure what specs other than it swivels between landscape and portrait. I actually have two of them. One I keep in each orientation as well as the monitor on my laptop.

I really feel constrained now using just my laptop.

When working at my main desk, I keep email and office like junk open on the laptop and use the portrait monitor for coding.

The ability to see so much context is invaluable particularly when reviewing code from junior dev's that frequently has 1000s of lines per file.

The big landscape monitor I use for data visualizations and sometimes 4 additional panes looking at data.
Nope. I own an HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Quest 2, Oculus Quest Pro, Magic Leap 2; the Vision Pro is a completely different animal.

Of those I think the quest 2 is the best product, fwiw. But the vision is a dev kit for a totally new platform, and I don’t believe any of the others is a fair comp.
We actually got a new cluster recently. ~25 nodes with 128 or 192 physical cores, 2 TB RAM, and >10 TB local scratch space each. And most issues arise from the old-school practice of running many small jobs to make scheduling easier. But if you restructure your work to copy the data to local storage, run for a number of hours without accessing the network, and copy the results back to network storage, the issues tend to go away.

Compared to the cluster I was using a decade ago, individual nodes are an order of magnitude faster, they can run an order of magnitude bigger jobs, and local storage is two orders of magnitude faster. Meanwhile, increases in network bandwidth have been modest. I/O has become cheap relative to compute, while network has become a scarce resource.

LOUDER, for most of the recruiters.

I gave up on working with or even responding to recruiters a good two decades ago because even then, most of them - even in the tech industry! - were of the “washed-up jock/cheerleader” variety, trying to leverage social contacts to fill slots and having absolutely no clue about anything in tech.

And I mean complete technophobes that thought HTML was a sexually-transmitted disease… no shit, I had that comment back in the 90s from one of them that had only begun working with web developers.

For the final cherry on top, if you couldn’t materially further their career or metrics, you were noise to be ignored. If they determined that you weren’t a “rock star developer”, good luck ever hearing from them again.

So I just learned to ignore them back.

Day 1 of Agile Training Recap

1. Understanding the why is critical. Why am I writing this piece of software?

2. After planning the acceptable criteria or what it means to be done should be clearly defined.

3. Scrum meetings are not a status meeting but a team meeting.

Day 2 of Agile Training Recap

1. What is the role of a product owner and a scrum master. Prioritize work, help the team with processes. "A good scrum master is working themselves out of a job"

2. What is an epic? Feature? Story? Task?

3. What are earned value metrics. How many story points are completed is very different than let's say DOORA metrics.

4. More stuff about story points.

A couple of flights per month or just one round trip flight?

I don’t have a Vision Pro, but it seems like overkill to get one just for a couple flights.

How would you use it after the flights? Would you use it at all? If NY to LA is 6 hours, you’re talking almost $300/hr vs just watching some of the in-flight movies. Not to mention it taking up a significant portion of your carry on bag.

I’m not anti-Vision Pro, I plan to get a future version if it keeps progressing, but it seems like you’re looking for an excuse to get it. This doesn’t seem like a great excuse, but if you want one and can afford it, get it for that reason. You don’t need the flight as an excuse.
Tech recruiters: maybe there are a few tolerable ones.

In 2012, a recruiter proclaimed to me that Golang was "irrelevant" while having zero understanding of technology or the industry. I thanked them and marked their emails as spam.
I am aware of the feature. The styling makes it hard to read and the autogenerated transcript text is poor quality, so without a real transcript made by the author, it's useless. A real, literate piece of text intended for reading rather than autogenerated poorly, would be a lot easier to read.

What I'm railing against here is the video-fication of the web as literacy rates and attention spans keeps going down. I do not think it is consistent with HN's mission of intellectual edification to use this kind of lowbrow video content that doesn't actually use the video format for any useful visualizations that can only be done in video (eg 3blue1brown), but is merely text content that is made more engaging with a bunch of meaningless clip art and narration
> really examine the question of whether or not the iPad really can (or should) replace these things.

> This has made me pause to consider whether I should ever again plug in my currently uncharged iPad.

I can't comprehend this. It's not an either or scenario, and I don't believe destruction/replacement was the intended message of the commercial. These things can be (somewhat) emulated with the iPad (are inside it). You can use an iPad for those, while riding on the bus, eating lunch, whatever, or when creativity does strike you. But, I don't think any reasonable person is thinking an iPad is a parity replacement for piano or a physical paint brush, or will use it to replace those. It's a tool, available when someone wants to use it. I have trouble believing this much, and fairly profound, introspection is only happening because of a silly commercial showing things being compressed into an iPad. I think it must be something else/indirect/unrelated, possibly something to do with identity. But, I suppose this is evidence that these emotions are real, which is fascinating to me, seeing the iPad as a small form factor computing device/useful tool.

I'll just say that I have a piano at home that exists, and I can happily use, regardless of the charge state of my iPad. I can go between them, without issues. But, I will say, the objective limitations/irreproducibility of compositions that come with using musical notation is much better handled with sequencers (which can then be used to produce the under-expressed notation).
Many people use flux-variants like redux which is basically what you say.

But they aren’t perfect either. And perhaps worse than the ’default’ way.

The fundamental problem is a lot of state is local and doesn’t need to leak outside of the view (for example, is the mouse hovering on a button or not). Yet it can be hard to tell when that’s the case—imagine if hovering on a button now needs to call some logging code or update some status UI elsewhere on the page.

If we were to store all that globally then it allows for pure rendering but it becomes unwieldy and hard to maintain. But if we don’t then you get the duct tape system.

I find portrait mode screen excellent for coding. I see more code in context.

My short-term memory is bad. But I am very productive with my 3 LCD setup. The middle monitor is portrait mode and is my primary point of interaction. That is why it is in the central position. To each side I have monitors in landscape orientation. Those are used for multiple windows of related / inter-dependent information.

I'm mostly keyboard oriented, ALT-TAB between windows. I use a trackball to slam the cursor around. I use a desktop that supports 3 LCDs without problems. Not sure if a laptop would suffice. But you could certainly have a portrait mode monitor and use the laptop screen landscape for a 2 screen setup.

Infection can cause an itis, but not all itis is due to infection. Such as inflammatory arthritis (noninfectious) vs septic arthritis (infectious).
I never understood the appeal of React Router, the simplest library to get rewritten 5+ times, each time forcing their users to learn a new way of doing routing. It never worked that well either in my experience. The authors seemed addicted to churn and complexity.

I do enjoy Remix though. It works well and the various stacks help you get started pretty quickly. So why take the framework that's well respected and loved, and combine it with the library that's known for its churn? That seems like a lose-lose. You create yet another change for people still on React Router and lose the Remix brand.

Did the Vercel people manage to execute a psyop on Remix? This doesn't feel like the move.

Are you getting a screenshot of the whole webpage including scrolling? Or just the visible part. The whole page, like singlepage.js would be great and is much more useful in many circumstances, although I'm not sure sure how to handle infinite scrolling. (If not, clean simple APIs for scrolling that don't require fiddling and experimentation would be great.)

Instead of Google OCR (the only OCR), what about Apple's native OCR? That would be amazing.

Telepresence with Google Cloud Kubernetes Engine
That's the least important part about my post. I mentioned several things, one being the shell you probably already have running, that all will do a perfectly fine job - to hopefully demonstrate that.

'cp' is sparse aware. Yay. Is that a good thing, actually? If the source has zeroes, I want to write zeroes. Not sure... probably fine. I've been awake too long.

'ddrescue' is special, but again, consistency is key. I don't really care how it's copied. I just question 'should' - there are advantages elsewhere.

edit: My main gist is this - living off the land applies here, too! Whatever option is available. Make the copy, check the checksums. Pull out the bigger gun if necessary.

Never know when you have to rely on some binary that's surviving only in caches. Stuck with a broken system and no live environment in sight.
I think ascribing a unit price to the Chinese government's grants is what is misleading.

To put it another way: Each company only ever produced one car and sold it in the US - no tariffs. A Tesla buyer would receive $7500 from the US government and Tesla would receive $0. A BYD buyer would receive $7500 from the US government, and BYD would have already gotten $3 billion dollars from the Chinese government.

It's not at all an apples to apples comparison.

From the article, NHTSA is also responding to "a never-ending stream of videos from the public, like the Waymo AVs choosing to go down the wrong way on a street".

What I don't understand is: aren't the AV vendors required to report this kind of error? If not, shouldn't they be required? Or, is it that they don't they know when their cars drive down the road the wrong way?
There is, however, something special about `ddrescue` (note that there are 2 different projects named thus; I don't remember the difference) - it does all the okay sectors, then goes back and retries bad sectors.

Just be sure to store the ddrescue state file somewhere persistent.

Thanks for the help, and just to reiterate, you suggest searching Google or GitHub for a platform that would solve a common issue? Second, your mention about coding tools, do you have any suggestions for a beginner to navigate through the software? Apologies if you touched on this already, but I was more so asking whether there was an existing website or mobile application where there is a discussion about a specific problem, and the developer would decide that based on a certain amount of likes or upvotes, whether it is worth building (I.e. mass user potential).

Consider rsync over tar.

rsync has the (important) advantage it can generally be stopped and resumed.

If the source drive's actually failing, I would instead ddrescue asap, and work with the (make it a read-only file) image.

Should the filesystem need fsck, qemu-img can create a read-write image that is an overlay backed by a read-only file, and qemu-nbd can expose that through nbd, so that your kernel can use it.

Obligatory recommendation to use ddrescue as a first pass. Personally I've been helped in at least three ways by this:

* ddrescue doesn't retry immediately; it tries to get as many readable sectors/blocks as possible first and then goes back and retries. When there are many bad sectors this is way more efficient than retrying N times at each bad sector while additional readable data is sitting on the bad device.

* ddrescue has configurable retries and its map file to perform rescue over any interruptions. If a device loses power or overheats and stops responding or for whatever other reason you don't have to get everything off the failing device in one pass.

* If you have two failing RAID1 devices you can ddrescue from one and then from the other to get as much data as possible.

If you need to recover audio CDs, use cdparanoia which takes a similar approach but uses a lot of speculative re-reads to avoid bad reconstruction efforts by some CD drives as much as possible.

The initial price for the original Z80 CPU, about $112 today with inflation.

That doesn't sound right... AI generated?

Also one part of the article seems to be a rewording of a paragraph in the wikipedia article for the Z80:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80

From wiki:

> The Z80 was officially launched in July 1976.[17] One of the first customers was a buyer who, unknown to Zilog, worked for NEC. At the time, the Japanese electronics companies were well known for taking US chip designs and producing them without a license. The Zilog team had worried about this, and Faggin had come up with the idea of adding transistors that would be subtly modified to operate differently than a visual inspection would suggest. Shima added six of these "traps" around the design. Sometime later, Shima was told by an engineer within NEC that the traps had delayed their copying efforts by six months.[18]

From article:

> In July 1976 the Z80 went on sale. One of Zilog's very first customers was a buyer who, unbeknownst to them, worked for NEC.

> The Zilog team had worried about the trend of Japanese companies making and selling unauthorized clones of American components and Faggin had come up with the idea of adding subtle "trap" transistors that would fool a visual inspection. Shima's previous experience with NEC minicomputers had led him to add the concept of two sets of processor registers to the Z80 and agreed with Faggin's concerns and added six traps to the design. As revealed in the excellent oral history of Zilog, Shima was told by an NEC engineer that the traps had delayed NEC's copying efforts by around six months.

Seems possibly AI generated. Also article is just littered with so many ads that you're better off reading the wiki entry.
