Going to assume you're talking frontend? Otherwise you'd be claiming most Spring, Django, Rails, Angular, <enter common backend framework> codebases are a nightmare to work in. While there are many good application architectures that don't fit into the MVC pattern (or introduce additional layers, e.g. - auth), separating DB ops (M) from business logic (C) and endpoint handlers (V) has always been rather maintainable/testable in my experience.
That's the only way to mock in some languages/testing frameworks. In C++ monkey patching would be quite difficult, but DI is simple. googlemock works this way.
I would not say it’s impossible… my lab is working on this (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14577) and though it’s far from mature - in theory some kind of resistance to downstream training isn’t impossible. I think under classical statistical learning theory you would predict it’s impossible with unlimited training data and budget for searching for models but we don’t have those same gaurentees with deep neural networks.
Have you talked to your neighbors and offered to cover the cost of replacing their roofs, so they no longer need to use those tarps that are causing you problems? It shouldn't be that much of a financial burden on you if it'd only cost a "dime" or two to fix the problem properly.
@dang, i know there is an htmx filter on HN due to so many posts, but it'd be nice if this one could go to the top, it's a major release
The choice of Giorgio Moroder for the image is a nice touch.

Once the infrastructure and social acceptance was there to allow for subscription based pricing, the bost benefit ratio shifted enough that the benefit of those people using Adobe products at home that weren't paid for changed, since they could now get the specific products they needed for a small fee that only lasted a short while.

I.e. $400-$1200 for a home user is a hard sell for someone that only needs it for a bit, so they accepted the benefit piracy gained them since the sales lost was minimal. Once they could feasibly expect someone to pay $30 for a short term access to some tools (whether true or not, it's the perception of that which matters), I think there's little incentive for them to still allow that piracy.

I'm not sure if this was very forward thinking of them or they just got lucky by allowing the piracy instead of allowing cheap/free home users, but I suspect they would have had a much harder time trying to charge for home users if they had previously offered home user free use licenses to legalize the benefit that piracy was providing. Raising prices is harder than enforcing pricing that was unenforced, and charging something for what was previously free is very hard to get away with without a huge reputation impact.[1]

I come to think that corporate people love React because if you stop following the news and not be constantly reminded about the direction React is currently heading, you will fall out of the loop and your projects will stop working in 1 year or so. Which is beneficial for the employees, as they will never run out of work to do, maintaining the framework itself rather than their actual project. And the framework gets more complex with each year, too, so you can pretend that you are doing some complex work without actually doing it.
YouTube has two things that I think make it hard to unseat:

1. It is very popular, people publishing there can pick up views for basically free. People go there to find videos. There are lots of eyeballs that you can pick up just by showing up.

2. It has ready-to-go monetization. Most major publishers will supplement YouTube ads with direct sponsors and merch sales, but having a baseline income available is a major benefit. Also people blame YouTube for the annoying ads, not you.

Both can be worked around, but you are fighting a major uphill that doesn't really have anything to do with the technical challenge.
The OP editorializes quite a lot. Perhaps this obscures how terrible this sheriff may be.

The law in the Netherlands says you can only prolong subscriptions by a month after the first year. I was only able to cancel my 2.5 year Adobe subscription after speaking to 3 people, in English arguing they are breaking local laws (not many people here can have the discussions I had to have in English). I never used anything from adobe again after that. I filed an official complaint with our government after someone here in HN suggested it, never heard anything about it anymore. Glad someone is doing something about it now.

I don't know. I think the younger 20-somethings all have this same kind of dream, but the older people get, the more comfortable they seem hiding behind NDAs at FAANGs or staying in "stealth mode." They really don't owe anyone anything.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the younger 20-somethings.
The eco chamber is real but it cuts both ways: if you want your product to be successful you need a first wave of adopters and their echo chamber will shape your product through their feedback.

Once your product reaches a wider audience you may notice that the balance is different but that doesn't mean that if you had chosen what makes sense for the wider audience (e.g. java) in the first iteration you'd be necessarily at a better place now. Perhaps you wouldn't never get to the place of worry how to please the masses because you product wouldn't have had any success in the first selection environment
You’re discounting the fact that there’s plenty of internal movement in Europe - I worked with a French firm that had a bunch of Italians, some Swiss, an Englishman, two Spaniards and a bunch of Russians working there along with the French people, all living around and working in their Paris office.

It wouldn’t be that hard to find people to translate your app and provide support in the major languages in most large European cities.
My prediction is that the world will stabilize somewhere around 80% renewables and 20% nuclear. Maybe less. Prove me wrong
I've thought about this concept a lot.

Cards are kind of tricky because you probably have a good number of them that will require many updates, and I suspect having a configurable board would actually unlock more cool stuff. Something like RFID cards that an EInk board could detect when placed and render game impacts would be nifty.

Smart cards (and of course just plain old video games) let you do a bit of fun stuff like interact with piles without everyone seeing that you interacted with a specific pile.

My real dream is to have it on dice to have on the fly configurable distributions of outcomes.
Hey OP here, thanks for posting. Happy to answer any questions.

> If we're talking blue hydrogen then you'd be better just using methane for most things

That's exactly the plan - NatGas as an intermediate step for Hydrogen production over the next 15 years as renewable capacity is built out and Hydrogen costs fall to that of coal (US$1-1.50/KG).

Every single Hydrogen National Strategy lists that out, and this is why the 7 countries I listed are working together on this.
Meanwhile Amex have just launched this exact model in the UK called "Plan It", though it costs a fixed fee per month of the loan.
Not scary at all! The nice thing about blockchain stuff is that you can safely ignore it and it will have absolutely zero impact on your life now or at any point in the future.
The problem in software is not that Dunning-Kruger exists, but the frequency with which it exists and how that frequency corresponds to Dunning-Kruger related research.

Most research in Dunning-Kruger related experiments makes a glaring assumption that results on a test are evenly distributed enough to divide those results into quartiles of equal numbers and the resulting population groups are both evenly sized and evenly distributed within a margin of error.

That is fine for some experiment, but what happens in the real world when those assumptions no longer hold? For example what happens when there is a large sample size and 80% of the tested population fails the evaluation criteria? The resulting quartiles are three different levels of failure and 1 segment of acceptable performance. There is no way to account for the negative correlation demonstrated by high performers and the performance difference between the three failing quartiles is largely irrelevant.

Fortunately, software leadership is already aware of this problem and has happily solved it by simply redefining the tasks required to do work and employing heavy use of external abstractions. In other words simply rewrite the given Dunning-Kruger evaluation criteria until enough people pass. The problem there is that it entirely ignores the conclusions of Dunning-Kruger. If almost everybody can now pass the test then suddenly the population is majority over-confident.
I'm not going to miss drones. Too many drone operators abused them to violate peoples expectation of quiet or privacy, or to harass animals, and were ignored or outright supported by other users. Laws restricting specific areas or behavior are extremely hard to enforce compared to an outright ban.

The most common defense was violating your privacy wasn't technically illegal. Well, now that it is going to become illegal, don't expect my support. This should serve as a reminder to people with niche hobbies not to make everyone hate you.
Well, they're not, and I can't find any good reason for why they aren't, when we're putting entire GPUs languages in there, except for the fact that somewhere in the HQ of one or more of those companies guiding web standards there is a discussion that goes something like:

Web Platform Dev: Boss, can we add TreeView to HMTL?

Web Platform Boss: Sounds cool, what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

Web Platform Dev: Advantage: cross platform widget that's going to be super useful to many developers, replacing 3rd party ones of varying quality. Disadvantage: would take N months to implement and M years to have full adoptions, and yeah, it would probably increase adoption of the web platform, maybe even on mobile platform, where there is a chance that indirectly we will lose about $1-2bn per year from our walled garden, coupled with other web platform enhancements we should also make, regarding progressive web apps, local storage, etc.

Walled Garden Boss: Hey, SVP, can we please FIRE Web Platform Dev and Web Platform Boss as what they said amounts to a 2% drop in our share price?
yes, need to improve that aspect of the docs, sorry!
They have a default web ui at least for the last 8 years.

Upgrading with non custom builds is a pain point as is removes the installed packages, which can lead to issues such as your remote router suddenly having no vpn connection.

That being said, I now prefer openwrt compatible routers as debugging and customization is soooo much easier.

Some loudly talked about it in hopes of pulling in some subsidies and that got vastly overreported for propaganda reasons.
I'll join the others in praise of HTMX, it's a joy adding dynamic functionality to any website now. Thank you!
It's up there but not singularly so. Twice there have been $10M! You can see the leaderboard where the majority of crypto bounties are represented here (https://immunefi.com/leaderboard/) but you have to search around for the actual reports.
Should be banned on performance.

It was obvious with how many times they said “SAFETY” (lobotomized) during their press releases and comments, but I’m still pretty surprised just how bad it is.

Luckily for open source and local running, Lumina and PixArt are catching up.
Spinning up DB instances is a lot faster now than it used to be in the past. There are even modules for in-memory instances of certain databases. The speed of a unit test vs. that of one that uses an actual database is small enough for it to be a real consideration.

That being said, of course, "it depends" on your use case. But I've found setting up this sort of test environment quite a bit easier now than writing database mocks, a lot less time-and-maintenance intensive, and relatively quick to run in any environment.

(Also, in a decade, I'm pretty confident this gap will get even smaller, while the time to maintain mocks will stay constant)
That's only official part. Having cameras you can track a lot.
1. recognize people
2. track who is interacting with whom
3. track who personally pays attention to what ads on the screen
4. get some clues about health and wealth. personalized and average
5. if cameras come with microphone arrays, 'for gunshot detection', you can listen selectively. +recognition, remember?
6. Read smartphones' screens.

Now all this in hands of private company. Ready for sale.
You seem not to love our Big Brother, do you?
If you, exclusively, can control the rarity and issue new cards then it's hardly a decentralized market and there's no reason not do just make it a centralized system.
After losing my phone and not having a way to recover a lot of data, I've come to the realization that I don't want end to end encryption. I just want a responsible entity to store all my data in a secure way, and they'd only make money from what I'd pay them. If I lose everything, I still want access to my data, even if a proof of identity costs me.

Of course incentive systems make that very hard in today's corporate world, but I can still wish for my ideal world.
Sure, but you get to enjoy your bounty payout. Having $2M legally vs. having to become a money launderer?
My impression has been that people complaining about Lisp's parentheses are complaining about them because they are the most obvious difference between Lisp and other languages, but that they're not what is actually causing them problems. It's the functional approach, where everything is in some sense just algebra, that really throws people off. Of course I can't see inside people's minds, but whenever I discuss this with someone for long enough, that's the impression I get.

Parentheses are just a scapegoat.
I live here too. I'm biased, but 1) this place is not full of awesome engineers, it's mostly full of overworked contractors and newbies with eighth grader syndrome. And 2) you can't just walk up to them and ask them to explain everything about their project. That's a huge security issue and if it were true it would be a lot easier to social engineer places today. Not to say that it isn't possible, but this comment paints an unproductive, idealized, and inaccurate view of the bay.

edit: it is a very cool e-ink project, and there are some cool communities like the maker faire. Reflexively reacting against the generalization
Cryptocurrency bug bounty programs perhaps have an advantage in that the risks of classes of bugs are often concrete, financially quantifiable, immediate, and catastrophic. A bad RCE in a mainstream OS could do untold damage to users, reputational damage to the company, and so on, but even if severe, those risks have to be estimated. But in this case, for example, it seems like the $2m bounty was for a bug that, if exploited, would have made $1b in market cap disappear. I expect it's just much simpler to convince a skeptic businessperson when the risks are so clear.

A pump yes sure, but an entire station I never experienced. Maybe just lucky. Also in Europe there are a bunch of charge points that have a single connector (one CCS one Chademo technically) while I don’t know any single pump gas stations
I'm just curious how you miss something like this for 5+ years?
It is so cringe to see bad advice like this being given. Yes, you can write mocks incorrectly. You should not model them after the "happy path" but you should make sure they cover the most use-cases both good and bad. I have been a senior or principal engineer on teams that did both of these approaches and the non-mocking approach is terrible because you end up with separate tests that have colliding data. It's slower using a real database back-end and becomes a mess and leads to issues where your database is heavily coupled to your test code which is the real anti-pattern. Then a year or two later when you want to change databases or database architectures you're screwed because you have to go into a bunch of tests manually and change things. The whole point of the mocks is it makes everything modular.
It was advertised in advance, but the real gamble is on if they'll pay. If you go to my other blogpost linked in OP, you can see a case where I was owed 500k and paid 60k.

You're right though that it's a lot of risk. It's not something that most of the leaderboard works full time on, though some of us do. The immunefi homepage has a list of all the bounties on offer.
I just had some drone photos taken of damage on the roof of my house, and it's way easier than trying to get up 4 storeys with a ladder
Lots of people made them back in the day (70s). Not much call for it this century, but there's plenty of retrocomputing types that would likely give it a go if prodded.
When is the government going to realize that software and business process patents are bullshit and that they should be wholesale dismantled.

I suspect the same should be true for mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering. Eg TSMC doesn’t need patent protection, they can just be the very best manufacturer of chips.
On a documentation site, photo gallery, etc, it is very reasonable to use something like htmx to implement navigation without triggering full page loads.
More specifically, text2diagram.com uses mermaidJs.
IMHO the Internet Archive was always going to get sued because they were treating ebooks like physical books and that's contrary to the copyright maximalism that is law around ebooks. The COVID change didn't really make a difference, they publishers were never going to allow some random people on the internet undo all of the work they put into adding restrictions on digital media.

They're never ever going to allow something like the doctrine of first sale to happen again. That's why you can't have an regular library with ebooks. The publishers will not settle for anything less than charging libraries per-read and requiring negotiation for every title offered. The old library model doesn't maximize shareholder value for the publisher. Also to blame is our elected representatives who could legislate a better system for the people, but are too beholden to corporate interests to ever do so.
I agree; I didn't mean to suggest it should be used. I just meant that my expectation would be something on one extreme rather than the other.
Thank you for building htmx!
Right, yeah. I estimated that a savvy attacker might have been able to get out with 50 or even 100m from this, but they would also go to jail. So...
What are you doing with all that dough?
I am really amazed how people can go years with not knowing what companies are regularly charging them money.

"Just the UI: Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project."

The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition
> In theory, Small Modular Reactors are supposed to be something that can be built in a factory setting, and then installed at locations with a smaller construction project;

IIRC, SMRs have a larger output per KwH of waste, compared to LWRs. I assume that this waste is going to be stored on sight for long periods of time, that will require a decent sized construction project on location as well, won't it?

Also, after 9/11 we required nuclear plants to withstand a direct hit from a 737. Will the factory build SMRs to that spec, or will that be onsite as well (underground?)
You could have static elements pre-rendered, but only loaded on demand. For example, if you had a blog with comments, you could have the comments pre rendered in htmx fragments, but only loaded when they are clicked.

Or a photo gallery with thumbnails that are enlarged when clicked.

At least, that’s one way it could work.
We shouldn't generalize from house cats to tigers either. A tiger's brain is a lot bigger than a cat's, and there may be more space for deliberate actions in it.
>Does someone with my experience really have to grind leetcode and memorize algorithms to prove his capability?

No, you don't have to memorize every algorithm. You can pass interviews doing sub optimal solutions if you have good code, a clear thought process, recognize there may be a better algorithm, have a dialogue about what that might look like, etc.

I did rounds of interviews at Microsoft, Google, and Netflix a couple years ago, and with the exception of a single round in Microsoft, none of the 'algorithms' I needed to know went beyond understanding hashmaps, recursion, and the concept of a graph. (yes I realize that encompass DP, but still).
I was trying to suggest that at least some of these things will be banned everywhere, not that they have already been. Small scale prohibitions happened well before there was enough drive for the 18th Amendment to be proposed.

I'm not even sure the detail — will it look like a Butlerian Jihad on all tech because AI is everywhere and enough people hate that, or "just" a ban on all social media (including this website) — but the vibes have been brewing for a while now, and it could well take the shape of smartphones being wound back to 8310s.

> As far as I'm aware, liquor and beer are also banned from schools and presumably always have been, before, during, and after Prohibition.

So it's fine for the analogy that phones might get banned from schools before some kind of larger social rejection on par with the example I gave, yes?
