> Why would adding fancy select or cut-and-paste features to a REPL make it not a REPL?

For the same reason that adding (working) wings to a car makes it not a car anymore.[1]

I mean, to my mind, when something is satisfying a different primary use-case, then that thing is a different thing.

I'm sure there's some fuzziness in the distinction between "This is a REPL/car and this is a Notebook/plane".

Usually it's very easy to see the distinction - the REPL is waiting for the next command and the next command only while the notebook takes whatever input you give it, determines whether it got a command or content, and reacts appropriately.

[1] Tons of examples, TBH. I don't refer to my computer as my calculator, even though the computer does everything a fancy calculator can do. People don't call motorcycles 'bicycles', even though the motorcycle can go anywhere that a legal bicycle can go. More telling is how people don't call their computer monitor 'TV' and don't call the TV a 'Monitor' even when the same actual item is used for both (i.e. I repurposed an old monitor as a small-screen netflix-box, and now an item that used to be called 'monitor' by wife and kids is called 'TV' by wife and kids).
I read that article earlier, but it didn’t mention Boeing so I wasn’t questioning it.

But where Boeing goes, bad things follow.
The article talks about how this one fungus found in the depths of the sea can break down PE (polyethylene) plastics. The biggest problem with combating ocean plastic is deployment of any solution. The seas are vast and trash, while a huge problem, is still relatively sparse within them.

It would be great to see if this fungus can be deployed on land at large enough scale to take care of, say, a whole regions PEs. That way we could get somewhere.
> With this logic, the Raspberry Pi foundation is involved in producing F35 fighter jets, because there is electronics in the F35.

You should be able to see for yourself that your argumentation is nonsense.

For Japan the accusation is that the Government by purpose produced this stockpile of Plutonium, also by creating a certain nuclear industry, to be in a position to create nuclear weapons, if they see it necessary. That's a political decision and the nuclear industry around nuclear powerplants is an enabler, created by the government via its energy and defense policies.

> It's not like a power plant reactor gives you the weapon technology magically.

They designed it.

Remember, you claimed that there is no connection. I reality, government set up nuclear industry such that it supports their weapon programs.

> All year? What happens when there is no wind and no sun?

You can find out. There is enough information about this topic.

A renewable energy landscape is more than just "wind & sun". An electricity grid is also more than a nuclear fleet in France, which for weeks&months had poor availability.

"In France, state-controlled EDF's nuclear output dropped by 30% in 2022, to 279 TWh, as more than half of its 56 reactors were taken offline for repairs which had been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic"
I hope you don't estimate the earnings from your investments that way.

But +1 on f-string use.
US diplomats say US foreign policy is governed by national interests, implying it's common sense. Who claims impartiality?
I wouldn't call the compile times super fast, but they were not that bad. I brought up the hot code swap thing because I did use it a lot when I was doing Java development.
It’s interesting to see my industry described from a different point of view.

It misses the key point of the economics of subscriptions: a single up front fee is a disincentive to the constant maintenance that delivers the single biggest piece of value to the customer, that being the continued existence of the software. Instead it creates an incentive to add lines to the marketing BS on this year’s release and prioritises new customers over existing.
What does that mean? (for someone not familiar with React)
Also, did anyone track actual voting results? What was the yes/no distribution for the compensation package? 51/49 or more 90/10?
Nobody here has made a case for Lua in Excel. I wrote "Python vs Lua" is not even on the radar of most Excel users, not even the subset that are programmers.

(Why are people here aggressively misreading everything I type, today?)

> Python... is the numeric computing language du jour. In any given financial company there are definitely already python users.

The original post didn't say "financial Excel users". Not all Excel users are financial; most aren't. I've worked with legal informatics users, e-commerce users, bioinformatic users, among others. Those sectors never use Excel for numeric computing, IME (drawing the occasional chart isn't numeric computing). They are more familiar with SQL, SQL macros, SQL query generators, importing/exporting to/from SaaS, etc. Like I said.
Presumably, Elon would leave otherwise. Looks like the majority of tesla shareholders would like Elon to stay.
If you believe a significant amount of the stock value is due to Elon himself, and he's likely to leave the company if the stocks were not awarded it can make sense. So basically if current value - stock award > value without Elon.
I love that we're getting digital maps for earlier eras. What stories are set in XIII or XVI London that these might help clarify?

A little while ago I was reading about Galois' death, and it's surprising how much* one can find online: maps taken near 1832 showing both that he didn't have to go far from the Latin Quarter to meet someone in a meadow at dawn, nor did the farmer who eventually brought him to the hospital (time recorded, ~9h30) have to travel far, either. One could probably even use a sunrise calculator to take the date and figure out an upper bound on how long he had been lying in the field.

(this upper bound should be reasonably tight: the point of duelling at dawn is to have it done with before the farmers get to their fields)

We're only missing the chat logs between ViveLaRépublique and Stephanie15 that might explain what he was doing out there in the first place...

* the coroner's report not only contains what we would consider relevant detail about abdominal trauma, but also contains a detailed examination of his brain and skull structure?
Yeah. Another cool thing is that we have government tax forms that are web/mobile, and it takes like 2 min and 8 clicks to fill them - including login. (for private people)
Fibreglass? I'm surprised raw material/machining cost is a significant concern when you're making satellites.
Their press should focus more on how much of a failure AMD are (vs NVIDIA in particular) rather than fawning puff pieces like this one.
You are making an argument in favor of Warren’s thesis in “The Two Income Trap”

Ask HN: What are you using – React, Vue or Svelte?
Will love if you can elaborate the exact reasons why you chose it in first place.

Looking for some insights from experienced people.
To be fair I’ve had similar issues with Rails
As PS2Linux owner I think that was a reaction to the way the Linux community handled PS2Linux.

Instead of following the Yaroze footsteps, and being a way for a new indies generation to learn how to create console games, the majority used PS2Linux for classical UNIX stuff and play games on emulators.

Note that PS2Linux had GPU access, via PSGL and an easier high level API for the Emotion Engine.

So, no GPU access, no emulators.
The funny thing is that they eventually circled back to server-side rendering. It just has a cool TLA now.
Ahl. In our case, we have mobile app 2fa, but also an sms 2fa, and authentication through bank login - it’s quite neat that the government struck deal with a bunch of banks, and they serve as identity providers too.
Forth:

w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7

We have no idea what is the structure of the expression. We do know w7 is the last word. The last word is the main one. Beyond that we cannot tell which are the children: are they w3 and w6? Or whatever.

Lisp:

(w7 (w4 (w3 w2)) (w6 w5 (w1)))

You know what the structure is, and if the compiler doesn't tell you that something is misused, the run-time will. E.g. that w5 needs at least 3 arguments, but two are given.
How do you explain, in a rational way, that stockholders decided to vote to confirm Elon’s massive pay-package?
The only explanation I have is that these people believe that bending to Elon’s will means he will reward them by inflating TSLA with meme-stock level shenanigans.
Is there any other rational explanation, as opposed to “whoever has voting shares is already part of the Elon cult?”
My bank sends an SMS for OTP.

I know it isn't very secure. But certainly better than having a seed locally stored.

> Your assumption is that having a programming layer in a CRM is only for big businesses. But that's not true at all.

I read it to mean that "A programming layer in a CRM is only for those businesses that can afford a programmer", which, TBH, are only big businesses.

Which is why small companies may not be able to afford making Salesforce fir their needs exactly - the cost to hire consultants to come in and panel-beat the system to fit is higher than the cost of continuing with spreadsheets.
A good extractor fan in an open kitchen will undo some of the usefulness of your home's insulation. It's much easier to just keep the kitchen smaller, and thus the volume of heated air that gets wasted. This is obviously more important in places that get cold.
I would believe that this research is as sound as research for violence in movies or games.

This is different, these were events in real life. But the "studies" are certainly not conclusive. It is the "stochastic terrorism" argument, which is trivial and very likely wrong.

And it can serve as a (bad) argument to remove any and all content. There is not place for it in democracies.
I'm more worried about the longterm. As organisms get better at breaking down plastic manufacturers will start putting nasty chemicals in plastics to prevent premature breakdown.
No, also that Elon can't sell those is a red herring. This enables him to sell other shares but keep control.
But most with most of his net worth tied up in Tesla, that would tank his own net worth as well. I would call his bluff and see.
The picture of a tongue mouse from article (maybe it's a render I don't know) seems to have maybe 16 dpi so it is probably fits for secondary mouse just for rotating the world, but for tiny pixel-hunting I would like to have something with a multiplicator.
Yes, they get preferential treatment (chance to get in first) from Elon in other future IPOs.
This one will be studied for ages. Let’s see if this will actually keep Elon motivated to continue focusing on Tesla over the next 5 years.
Looks at least 66% for yes if you go by Elon's post https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1801084780035154058/photo/1

Who thinks a mall is a fun place to hang out at? People go to malls because it's convenient to have everything you need for shopping at one place, and there's some shitty food for in between.

In the US teenagers teenagers hang out at malls, but that's only because cities and communities don't give a shit about building inclusive places for all people to spend time without needing to spend money.
We really need an updated html parser for c/c++. Most people are still using gumbo, which was abandoned by google 10 years ago. Some are using lexbor, which lacks basic document.
You need to fight for keeping any accomplishments you’ve got. US rolled back many child labor regulations, so we have 14 years old killed by sawmills again. It’s not like the US banned children from mines because it was economically more profitable.
The OS's job is to protect user from malicious apps or apps with vulnerabilities. It does its job very poorly, for example, I have to manually build sandboxes and create users for every app, and I don't understand why this cannot be built-in and automated.
Most people fail to understand how useful plastic is because they never lived in a time before plastics.
DC had Visual Memory(programmable tamagocchi as memory card) and modem, 360 had near gold standard ergonomic gamepad(also first USB in console)
It’s disappointing to have someone’s misguided hot take get lots of attention. There’s nothing inherently wrong with Notebooks, just like there’s nothing inherently wrong with a command line REPL. They are tools. Sure, neither is a great choice for coding a million-line application, and yet the REPL is the better choice for one-liners, and the notebook is the better choice for a few plots or developing a 10-line algorithm. I’d rather read something thoughtful about when and how and why to migrate from a notebook to something better. Making that easier, without judgement, is going to do a whole lot more good than attempting to shame people with a bad analogy will do. Anyway, McDonalds has scaled larger than any other food chain in the world, so the title is accidentally paying a huge compliment to Notebooks.
You can think of him whatever you want, but he's an investor money magnet like noone else. Everyone who owns stock of any company would want him. He could probably take over some fruit juice company and do nothing while it's valuation would still increase like crazy.
I have a harsher take, 95% where react is used it is used without the need.
Yes, I totally agree. Raw vs perceived aka deceiving performance.

My advice: work with an old Apple computer and put this against a brand new super giga overclocked Windows hardware monster. Apple focuses exactly on perceived performance first and foremost. On all my devices - MacBook Pro 13 from 2013, MacBook Air 2018, iPhone 6 - one thing is always smooth no matter what: UI interaction and transitions.

I read a lot about Apple and Google engineering and I remember that they put a priority on perceived performance first. I think there is a 300ms seconds threshold under which optimization brings in no additional benefit, however massive discomfort above this limit in that humans perceive animations as jerky, which leads to feelings of discomfort.

Jobs demanded that Apple Safari had a one or two second rule AFAIK, so that any new feature must not slow down opening up time.

Displays and chip design is also aimed at this perceived performance metric.

Windows always appears jerky and laggy to me, no matter the age or raw performance the machine got, while any Apple device is guaranteed to feature smooth UI interaction no matter CPU load.

I love it and as a product manager it became a mantra for my enterprise software SaaS platform a mantra as well. Customers love it, they feel taken care of. And that’s great.
Rationally it's more like a "oh shit we're too late to exit now" situation. The stock would have crashed if they'd denied the package. So they voted for it and hope to sell afterwards for a better price.
This isn't the argument of "free speech absolutists" at all. I gladly take up that derogative term for that matter.
React's server components is pretty fundamentally different from how something like Rails or old-school PHP does "server-side rendering".

It's a lot closer in spirit to something like Phoenix LiveWire.
Why is the threshold different for the 2 proposals?
For people who prefer rebase and force push, https://getcord.github.io/spr/ is a great tool resembling Phabricator's `arc diff`.

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/3478 ("Improve workflow when force-pushing during code reviews") could use more support.

You purchased an airplane. How would you feel when on the solo flight home you begin to hear odd sounds "under the hood"? The plane may still be flying ok but might you wonder for how much longer? It is not the noise that's the problem but rather what that noise predicts.
Unfortunately the consumer is the only one who can influence the manufacturers by choosing alternatives. Large companies rarely actually care about the environmental effects when they have a cheaper alternative.

I think many underestimate the influence consumers can have on the manufacturers. In some product categories, they have an option to choose a better alternative. If more did that, the manufacturers in other industries would see that there is a first mover advantage where they can grow their market share by reducing plastic usage. More R&D would be spent finding alternatives and the world as a whole would be improved.

But it all starts with us choosing alternatives whenever possible. If enough consumers do that, the other manufacturers will improve because it impacts their revenue.
I've adopted the practice of avoiding libraries with major version > ~3. If you needed to re-design your API so many times, I don't trust your judgement enough to build on top of it.

That said, I still use React and... it's at 19.x :'(
You could already use functional components before. The main issue with React now is all these hooks and effects.
In that regard, my experience has been the following churn scale:

JavaScript churns more than Rails which churns more than Elixir/Phoenix.

I believe this is caused by “how sound the fundamentals are” (technical debt in the language itself and its stdlib).
I wish I had a job that I could get $58 billion.

None - flat static light HTML with no JS on most pages, and all CSS inlined, to minimise page weight and client and server CPU load.
It has the same quality of any research or report that suggest there to be negative effects if people do see such content.

And if in doubt, content removal should be done defensively.
a flying car with wings is still a car. that's the whole point of it. it can drive you to the airport and drive like like a car. I don't care what you call your computer, it can still do math. people who have their TV hooked up to their computer would more readily refer to it as a monitor. idk, I just think REPLs are kinda shit for interacting with the present state of a kernel (as Jupyter calls them). Jupyters better, but still kinda shit because it could automatically infer the important variables in scope and keep a watch list like a debugger does. And then suggest things to do with them since it's a repl and not an IDE. but the thing is fundamentally they're Read Edit Print Loop interfaces to the computer and its current working state.
> I hate apps that aren't in the repository

That's not going to be fixed. This is a typical M-N problem. There are too many distros and it would require lot of work to port every app to every distro. Instead, there should be a "platform" (set of APIs) that app can work with and the same app would be able to work in any compatible distro.
He did what he said he would. It was a prearranged agreement many people thought was unreachable, and he did.

I find it inspiring that he has long term visions and executes to implement, what people would consider, insane goals over decades. I feel this is what makes Elon stand out, and worthy of the pay day, especially when you pull off what you said you would.
Acoup on Rome: Decline and Fall?
Elon's pay package was contingent on an insane target that he needed to hit. No one in the world expected him to do it.

Russia for the last 8 years have been pushing its woodcutting industry pretty hard at placing a QR code at every single chopped tree and uploading it to the government's centralized DB, analogous to what they do with marking the produced ethanol. Of course, I imagine that at the customs/borders the situation is much more... "solvable", if you know the right people.
I am not protected by content removals, on the contrary, I become a prisoner of a fake information channel.
I own stocks of several companies and I definitely hope he stays as far away from them as possible. He is a man-child into alt-right and antivax conspiracy theories, this is toxic to any brand unless you are selling to the MAGA crowd.
The compile itself is very fast, but the build tools tend to think a bit when not hot/do some additional stuff besides building. But the actual time spent in `javac` is very short (partially because it only outputs very high level byte code)

Just the fact that Yarn seems to be the dominant package manager now when it seems like last week it was npm. What will it be next week?

I truly wonder, do people use this stuff for software that is expected to be maintained for 5-10 years? I feel that with the speed at which everything changes, gets deprecated, discontinued, succeeded, etc. you'll spend a good chunk of your time staying up to date with the current js ecosystem. That doesn't seem very economic to me.

Editing titles is permitted. That is, removing specifically indicated guideline violations, or shortening titles to fit length.

Editorialising is NOT the same thing. It is replacing (or adjusting) a title not for length or clarity, but to give a specific slant to a subject or inject the submitter's opinion.

Dang: "Editorializing is editing a title to put one's own spin on it." <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32085439>

They might want to sell... but who might (want to) buy, outside of Russia and maybe India? The Western world is already decoupling from China and I think it's completely infeasible that anyone wants to create new ties to China.

Wordsmithing titles is a bit of an art and often a challenge.
However at least Apple and Google are trying to use something else other than plain C and C++, with proper full stack frameworks.

Microsoft keeps failing at making .NET more relevant across the whole OS stack, as WinDev keeps pushing for C++ and COM, no matter what, and did a big mess of how UWP could have improved the whole experience, after the Longhorn sabotage from WinDev.
Don’t mention Office apps. Even though you selected “work offline” for certain files, load time is so brutally high.

MS really hates their users, I think to myself sometimes, in the sense, that they do not get how much time you lose opening up an app every day and waiting for a simple spreadsheet to pop up, while on the other hand people would rave if only this was a damn fast process.
Elon tweets roughly 30 times a day ... how much time is he really focusing on Tesla? Opportunity cost effects everyone even billionaires. I'd love to see a Tesla Employee with 5 other jobs and on social media that much not being fired by Elon.
