Apple's legendary crack product marketing team (2014 – 2024) [video]
Growing up in Moore, Oklahoma in the 1960s and 1970s, my mother frequented the C.R. Anthony's store in the City of Moore Shopping Center. They used pneumatic tubes; the person at the check-out counter would put a receipt and money tendered into a tube and off it would go to somewhere, I figured some office in back, where they made change and sent the tube back. You could hear it rattle around a bit as it went on its way, and the way it would come back, zip out onto a open curved "landing strip" and slam into the stop was impressive.
Show me a real product on the web that does not compile or bundle and uses native modules for code delivery. It's a dead technology that only fragments the ecosystem and makes life harder.
Plastic recycling is a scam - see DeGennes or Florry-Huggins.

But there is no need to give up. As long as we can keep brominated, chlorinated and fluorinated plastics out of the input stream (by taxes and deposits) burning plastic for energy is not that bad.

Fundamentally, as I see it, consumers and regulators love their Gore-Tex jackets and their teflon tape too much to have viable plastic burning.
Is this a regional difference? In the US, my experience has been like the other poster, it's normal for them to wait days or weeks for xrays from radiology specialty places. Maybe it's a rural thing where many providers don't have their own radiologist and end up outsourcing it.
Ethanol is such a phenomenally disgusting boondoggle that it alone should be enough to convince anyone that the United States political system is utterly broken. US politics is pay-to-play and nothing demonstrates it quite so clearly as the ethanol industry.

It literally takes more energy to produce ethanol than we are able to derive from the ethanol. That we produce any of it is a testament to the corruption and/or ineptitude of our politicians.
There are certain protections against the government of the day taking away fundamental rights with a simple majority. In the EU, these constitutional principles are enshrined in the treaties that can only be changed unanimously.

On that basis, the highest EU court (CJEU) has ruled several times that mass surveillance is unlawful. Governments are still trying to find a way around these protections, but it's not a certainty that whatever ultimately passes parliament will hold up in court.
I had a hard time getting Doom to run on my 486. I only had something like 4MB of RAM if I recall correctly so I had to restart my computer, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT to remove options that I would use to load Windows, and then boot back into DOS to launch DOOM each time I wanted to play it to get that last bit of memory I needed. Then, when I wanted to run Windows, I had to edit the HIMEM.SYS stuff to get it running again. (I was a teenager with no Internet access. I have no idea how I figured out this stuff or where I got information from.)

You don’t really even need a transpiler. Require is basically just a function which loads a file, wraps it in some boilerplate, and evals it. You could just rip that runtime code out of node and provide it as a compatibility library.
I tried S3 for my static HTML site but the problem is my personal website gets infrequent visitors and for each visit the first load is always slow probably because my website gets moved from memory to disk. The thing is, my website is less than 20KB and I don't like it to be slow for all the users just because it is infrequent. Managing my own server allows me to lock my website into memory.

That’s true of any provincial law. I’m sure North Korea doesn’t like the things I allow me people to say about their leadership. I’m not going to change what I’m doing here to appease their inapplicable laws though.
Believing that legislative issues can be solved with technology is one of the most common fallacies among the IT crowd.

If those in power decide to push forward by increasing the penalties, eventually running a Mastodon server will become as risky as getting caught for murder. At that point, it would be naive to run a Mastodon server locally, wouldn't it?

P.S. Mind you, the average consumer/user doesn't care as long as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok are up and running. Quotes like "they already know everything" and "do you have something to hide from the government?" will become ubiquitous in public discourse.

There big exceptions to that- the few 100k's people that lived until Oct 7 near the south and north borders had to leave their houses and live in temporary places, mostly hotels, in quiet and safe places. The other are people on reserve duty, many of those had to go for a few months of active combat duty leaving their families behind.

In more recent times (2008ish perhaps, would likely have been early Ubuntu anyway) there was some sort of audio forwarding, I don't know how it worked though. I remember one time sitting on my couch with my laptop but wanting music to play from my desktop because it had good speakers. So I ssh-x-forwarded rhythmbox from my desktop to show on my laptop, pressed play ... and the music came out of my laptop.
Show HN: A widget to show off your LinkedIn followers on your website
Hey HN,

I'm currently working on my personal website as a consultant and wanted to use my LinkedIn followers as a social trust builder on my site.

So, I built this widget to easily embed it on my website. It looks fun and updates with every new follower.

I hope this is as helpful to you as it is to me. I would love your feedback, please.

Maybe I've been missing it, but I'm not sure how non-profits pay people to volunteer. I thought that paying them directly for their services would turn them into a contractor or employee, and thus make their services no longer volunteer services. But I would love to be incorrect about that, as then I think it could help me with a lot of my work.

Edit:

And about wanting them to receive cash, I'd actually prefer if everyone received shelter and food and water and air and healthcare, but if we're not going to provide those things, then if we provide them cash maybe they can get them.
The simplest solution is to stop requiring the top level package to be a module. Allow es modules to be require()-ed. It's be synchronous and slow and ideologically impure, but it'll make it so that millions of projects (mostly private!) will be able to start adopting es modules without a massive refactor. Anyone with a project of significant age or size looks at ES modules now and thinks "fuck it". There's no return on investment to convert (other than less pain while trying to upgrade or adopt new libraries). It's a big undertaking with loads of risk (modifying import order isn't safe!) and the payoff is "it's the shiny new thing".

I had been using adminjs at work. Their new major version was ESM-only, and it was easier to _write a new admin panel from scratch_ than it was to refactor our entire codebase to be ESM just so we could upgrade one library. I expect that's the situation at hundreds of thousands of other companies.

Like for all the belly aching that happened over async functions (and the whole function color rant), synchronous and asynchronous functions work together just fine through plain old promises. You can easily use async functions alongside functions that use old fashioned callbacks. ESM vs CJS is a file coloring (versus function coloring) problem, but there's no interoperability. There's no escape hatch when you just need one file to use another file but their colors are incompatible.

If it works everywhere except Gnome, requiring a custom solution on Gnome alone, it's definitely Gnome's fault. Gnome people have this weird ego thing where they expect the world to conform to them, even developers who are only including Linux support as a courteous afterthought to users. Anything Gnome does in a unique way adds friction for these developers, to the detriment of all Linux users.
It reminds me of long-gone times where the web was about sharing easy fun like this instead of viral marketing and influencers.
The game actually does a pretty masterful job of tricking players and convincing them to go way, way overboard in their preparations. The submarine/mobile base and the robotic mining suit aren't even necessary to finish the game. The final levels of the game can actually be finished just by swimming freely with the seaglide. The rare material that's only available in those levels can be picked up as broken pieces laying on the sea floor, and IIRC you only need 6 pieces of it to finish the game.
Neat to get to know JSR, but doesn't this have very little to do with the contents of the article you responding to? While I know NPM is in the title, the actually article is about module imports which JSR doesn't change.
I think the names of systems is largely secondary to what's happening within those systems. James Madison has an excellent quote on this: "The accumulation of all powers, Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

It's from Federalist Papers #47 [1].

That’s because the author, Peter Suber, doesn’t go beyond Nietzsche in his work (you can read his self summary elsewhere on the website). I’d suggest you read The Work of Art in the Age of its Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin[0], if you want an exposition on the power of the visual, and of shocks of experience, in the social and political world.

Being a constructive part of a democracy is not just standing in the way of every change without budging. It's also about solving problems and finding solutions. Most social and technological issues will not just magically go away if you wait and ignore them to the best of your ability.
>What a shame there has been only one pointing outwards all these years.

Let's not forget that initially it was considered a massive failure. There simply was no way for NASA to build another in the 90s. What's truly remarkable is how the ROI went from unknown, to negative, and then was a massive long-term success.

Plank, side plank, russian twists.

Stretches like bird-dog, cat-cow, bottom to heel stretch, knee to stretch chest, knee rolls, back arch, lunges, bridge, gluteal stretch... (the names are confusion, just look it up and you'll understand). Do them slow, hold the poses, breathe deeply in and especially out.

NASA looks efficient because you’re comparing it to the rest of government.

I love the work they do. I wish they did more with what they have. And then I wish they had more to work with.

When they are constrained, like they are with spacecraft already in flight, their ability to problem solve with the tools and systems they have available is absolutely impressive.
Based on this Chat Control debacle, sounds like the people saying that have no idea what they’re talking about and should be encouraged to shut up or to be more precise and rigorous in their arguments lol
ES Modules are better in every way.

But I do believe they got the syntax wrong - should have been "from fs import { readFile }" so that auto-complete works. Python got that right, but that's the only thing Python got right ;)
What about the createRequire function?

IMO the game changer in your scenario is when type annotations are added as a standard JS feature:

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations

At that point (and with ES modules) you'd be able to run your TS code directly without any transpilation necessary. I'd love to remove all the build process junk from my projects and have them run quicker.

I've written a few projects as plain ESM JS with JSDoc type annotations and it truly is a joy to bypass build steps. JSDoc type annotations do get annoying as a project grows to a certain size, though.
The mechanism is for people to vote for representatives who don't bring up those issues every year or two. The problem is that people just vote along party lines, and then vote for incumbents within those party lines. Without the threat of losing their office, politicians have no incentive to change their behavior from year to year.

Think about how your suggestion would work for other topics, like crime, immigration, social services, etc. It would undermine the government's ability to respond quickly to changes in the external world. It's not worth doing that over this one issue, when the real solution is to just vote for better candidates.

If you want the "feature" of not having this feature, you can disable it in most other DEs (certainly the Linux ones at least.). Gnome isn't doing anything clever by not having this widget as a first party option for users.

Text parsing and rendering is supposed to be done by the OS. And if there's an OS-level vulnerability like that, then the OS is what you update, not necessarily just the app.
The businesses who care about taking money from Europeans care. I worked at an American healthtech company and we weren’t GDPR-compliant because 1) we weren’t targeting Europeans, and 2) GDPR and HIPAA are incompatible so we picked the relevant one.

Since my server doesn’t do business in EU, I couldn’t care less about GDPR or other local laws, even the ones I think are good ideas.

American law doesn’t apply to someone running a server in Brussels. The converse is also true.
I have mixed feelings about the JSR requirement for explicit typing. Other than that, it is pretty great!
That's one of the main problems I see in frontend development nowadays.

Developers are taught to overkill everything. They implement things naively, admired of how "smart" their "solution" look, compared to a "dumb" browser.

They shoot themselves in the foot all the time. Users suffer with bad UX. Projects move slowly and expensively. Everyone loses.

Are the two other gyros broken?
Thanks for the clarification. Misread that it's something unwanted.

In my opinion filibustering would only be a problem, if there are no speech limits. As far as I'm aware of the internal workings of the EU institutions there are tight schedules and every member has limited speech time and the vote is set on a fixed date.

And as I stated, there should also be exceptions which allow for a withdrawal. It just shouldn't be as easy as: Let's withdraw until I got a stable majority.

Stable and flexible legislative sure is an important thing in democracy, but there must also be some kind of disruptive process to correct and the MPs should only be bound to their own conscience at the end of the process.

Could you maybe elaborate a bit further how this would enable filibustering?
The right to privacy is in quite a few constitutions. The reason nobody wants to stomp Chat Control for good is because of how it has been framed: it’s to protect the children. Parents are fiercely protective, and I suspect that for a majority of them, mass surveillance and a police state is not too high a price to pay for the safety of their little ones.

Yeah, I kind of agree. The thing is, it's orchestrating multiple containers to do the job. I can't figure out why you couldn't just have one container.

Over the last few months I have been seeing a push toward using Sqlite in production, where appropriate. Some of this has been coming from 37 Signals with their "Once" products, which use Rails and a SqliteDB.

Sqlite can go pretty far if you have fast SSD disk. The biggest problem is that your app is constrained to a single host. For many apps, with backups and a failover plan, that may be OK. For other its a non starter.
(It indeed does :)

Same here)
Nice! Good luck anyway and congrats getting this out of the door. I know how difficult it can be to get to this stage. With some UX refinement then I think you'll have a nice proposition. As you said, pricing can evolve.

North Korea seems like a flimsy example because it's an international pariah, and their reach in the West is essentially limited to hacking you. It's a fairly uncommon situation that's quite different from decisions made by the EU.

Physics is almost entirely deterministic (the exception being quantum mechanics, which seems just short of it).

Metaphysics on the other hand seems to not only be not deterministic, it is often the opposite of it (at least at the level we can discern, though there is no consensus on levels or perspectives).

> address them...reasonably

Is there an implicit epistemic assertion here, or are you using these terms colloquially (as most physicists / scientists do in my experience)?
Honestly the best thing is to just bury the plastic in a modern landfill just like other garbage.

Modern landfills are very good and containing all the bad stuff. There is actually plenty of room for them. And you sequester the carbon in the plastics.

"norton commander" shell had a user defined menu where you could create short scripts, basically just a chain of DOS commands. As a fellow teenager with no Internet access, I've made a "game" submenu which replaced normal autoexec.bat with a slim one curated for a particular game and rebooted computer right into the game. After you exit the game it'll replace autoexec.bat with the backup of normal one and reboot again back into norton commander.

I have no idea why I needed that level of automation, of course.
None of this has anything to do with the discussion in this thread, which is entirely about the environmental impact of the F1.
I just throw plastic in the garbage. This after a life of bending over backwards to recycle.

The primary concern for everyone should be carbon in the atmosphere. Landfills full of plastic might be bad for the environment over time, but they are not going to cause a global mass extinction.

Probably the dumbest thing humanity can do is burn plastic for energy (i.e. convert sequestered carbon to CO2). Followed second by recycling it.
