You're joking, right?

EU people are quite reasonable, they just don't quite like being bossed around.

The Germans needed North Stream blown up and Ukraine invaded in order to understand that they shouldn't have relied on Russian gas to grow their economy. Some of Germans I've spoken to still don't get it as of today, regardless how frank the current and former US administrations were regarding this and contributions to NATO. Somehow they fail to comprehend that the US gave them protection during the Cold War and it's also US brokered agreements that led to the reunification of Germany on 15 March 1991.

The French being French like stuff done their way and knew they can't fully rely on the US since the '50s. But at least they got their shit together with Germany and are building a new tank platform, the MGCS. Some of the German aerospace industry was already consolidated into Airbus Helicopters and they've also jointly developed the Eurofighter platform with the UK, Spain and Italy.

Norway, Denmark, The Nederlands, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Greece and Turkey are buying US weapons systems, no surprises there.
> Is Soviet Union and Russia the same?

Excellent question. Let's ask the person who justified Russia's invasion by saying that NATO contravened its non-expansion guarantee to the Soviet Union.

It's a wrong comparison. A high-level language is usually good enough for a desktop app because there's not much ongoing computation happening. It's only input processing and small, infrequent updates to the view in response to the input (not to mention rendering of the DOM and low level input processing is done by the browser's C++ compiled code). A video game on the other hand has to do computations all the time at a very high frequency.
The latencies in the table are based on heuristics or averages that we’ve observed. However, in reality, based on the conversation, some of the larger latency components can be much lower.

YAML is the bane of my existence and I daydream about building a purely declarative system for running services with a sane config language (CUE or Pkl mostly). But then reality comes back and I have to spend another hour adding nindent to text based yaml templates...
Did not try it out, but an idea: write a user script that changes the <meta viewport>.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_m... what this meta tag does.
And IBM script, and troff, and vi macros, and...

What these all have in common is that the computer wasn't that clever (yet) compared to humans, so it was worth learning a cryptic but efficient (in terms of code size, or execution speed) language. Or maybe these "line noise" languages were just fashionable.

Now, JIT-ing something eminently readable is essentially free, so there is no more point in these old things (I don't personally use Matlab, but all the theory people at work do, and it seems to be the spiritual successor to APL).

Neat!

Really clever simplicity on how you added gradients.

This is one of my favorite spaces, so I'll add some generic advice which may or may not be helpful.

I once had the privilege of working for Max Roser and Hannah Ritchie at Our World in Data, as one of the engineers on their Grapher library (https://github.com/owid/owid-grapher), and learned a ton from them (and others on the team) about making great charts.

My one piece of advice from looking at your examples would be: don't neglect title, subtitle, and caption! They would be so easy to do well because you've already created your "simple headers thingies". A few words go along way. Check out "Storytelling with Data" by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic for a great read on the subject. Owid's Grapher does those the best, IMO (followed closely by DataWrapper.de -- but that's not open source).

At some point, if you keep up with this, you'll also want to add a dataflow library and DSL. Hadley Wickham's dplyr in R was the GOAT, and I copied that in my Ohayo tool and in OWID Grapher's CoreTable library (https://github.com/owid/owid-grapher/tree/master/packages/%4...). Jeffrey Heer's newish Arquero (https://idl.uw.edu/arquero/) library is also along those lines.

Lately I've delving into Mike Bostock's new thing Plot (https://observablehq.com/plot/). So far, excited by it, but only spent a day or two with it at this point.

I don't use emacs anymore, but hopefully something helpful in the comments above.

YouTube made up 9.7% of all viewership on connected and traditional TVs in the U.S. in May — the largest share of TV for a streaming platform ever reported by Nielsen’s monthly “The Gauge” report. Netflix ranked second, claiming 7.6% of viewership. Among streamers only, YouTube’s total viewership was close to 25% market share.

I have been developing Python 20 years now. Claude 3.5 is the first AI that is “smart” enough to help me. I usually do not need help with easy task, but complex ones. Claude is not a perfect, but it definitely gives a productivity boost for even the most seasoned developers, which would have been some obscure mailing list and source code reading in the past.
Tried it, wrote a long comment here, but seems I accidentally discarded that. Here's the gist of it; The product does not from other presentation tools except in that it is integrated with Figma. Only the best parts of Figma, the design things, are very much restricted unless you pay for a subscription that includes design mode. There are still some bugs, and animation support it underwhelming and slide transitions don't work as well as in other applications.

As a casual user, I would have loved something more integrated with the design workspace in Figma. With how the product is now, I might as well continue using Libreoffice Impress and get way more features at the cost of having to use an ugly piece of software.
The key difference is that I can reasonably trust (depending on the audience) that the other human is not simply hallucinating facts in order to provide a response.
This tool is designed to be helpful right now. Looking ahead, there's no reason why AI can't eventually match, or even surpass, human intelligence across the board.

Whether it's advancements in LLMs, with features like long-term memory, or breakthroughs in other areas of ml, it's not guaranteed that humans will remain needed in the research process.
Thinking that TV spots are the limits of brand strategy is just kind of naive.

You think iPhones are a superior product... Why? Other phones have more RAM, better screens, more capable OS. An iPhone is designed in response to market demands-- it is the vision of Apple to anticipate what users will want, and to show users what phones can be.

So many Apple billboards around New York show kids or families, the "memories" function of the iOS Photos app is designed to pull from forgotten pictures and tug on your heartstrings. Part of this is Apple marketing responding to a demographic of tech-consuming people becoming parents or grandparents... But it is also Apple showing us what tech is good for. It's a vision of compassionate technology that will hopefully sell more iPhones while also structuring the narrative of what an iPhone is. An iPhone is a superior product not because it has the best tech specs or the best combination of components. An iPhone is the superior product because the future of technology can be compassionate, and Apple wants to position themselves there. This is a marketing strategy, and it is likely why you associate iPhones with quality and superiority.

We cannot immediately see all possible uses and promises of technology, no matter how tech-literate we think we are. It takes institutional vision (in many cases a function of market/brand strategy) to figure out what makes a good product and how we can show people that our product fulfills that idea.

That's a good point. At the same time, I believe it can make a lot of sense, particularly if it is used to implement functionality that was previously implemented in JavaScript.

Given that CSS is not an actual programming language, browser vendors can optimize it in ways that JavaScript can't. This extra optimization is a big benefit in the world of mobile devices and batteries.
Yeah but this is only possible if the sets in question are uncountably infinite.

So with this the main reasoning behind having some nuclear power generation would be to have a capable nuclear industry with a trained nuclear workforce to support the new batch of nuclear submarines that both major parties want to get.

I kind of support nuclear energy generation as an alternative to coal and gas. Also as Uranium is another thing we dig out of the ground so we don't need to buy the fuel from elsewhere. Though I'm not at all enthusiastic about the politics behind it actually having my/our best interests in mind. I suspect that this will just be all talk, delays, and then be cancelled.
> You can’t be a techno-optimist anymore.

You can't? Just yesterday, Waymo opened their self-driving taxi service to the general public in San Francisco. We now have self driving cars. You draw a stick figure and the computer draws the rest of the fucking owl. I have an AI that I talk to on my phone and I tell it about my life's bullshit and it guides me through it. It helps me with my writing and my programming. Robots are getting better and better. Pretty soon we'll have humanoid robot companions to help around the house. I earnestly believe that I'll live to see the singularity.
I’m sure if somebody came along with a serious offer for the collection with the goal of exhibiting it somewhere else it would be accepted.
I get that, but for these pop-up shops selling to partygoers out of large tanks it seems like very little extra effort and expense for a dramatically improved user experience. Market forces alone should be enough to incentivize adding oxygen.
It's a start. We just had a sudden storm that severely damaged some tomato plant stalks, and it suggested splinting them, or if it is still having trouble in a couple of days to cut off the top and plant in another pot, which is advice I've received from others too. The first picture I sent was some early blight on the leaves, it didn't get it on the first try (suggested the stem had edema, which I suppose is possible), but when I mentioned I thought it had a fungal issue it correctly noted the brown leaves and suggested a copper fungicide, among other correct remedies. It also correctly discriminated between two types of cucumber (well one was Armenian melon) held by my friend who had just picked them from her garden. Claude said that because there were hands present that it suggested that the vegetables were home-grown and/or freshly picked, and before that noted that they seemed to be good quality, which was correct. I went into this particular aspect of using Claude thinking it would be useless, but that's not what I have found with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I'll note the fungal blight was with Claude 3 Opus, as well. Hope that helps.
Teenage Engineerings design language is so unique, that it is deeply intertwined with their brand. That is a pretty rare thing, only Apple and (Rams) Braun come to mind, and I think TE is the most extreme of them.
Because their design language is essentialy their brand, any product that was designed by them will automatically be associated with them by customers.

This is good for them with a product like Panics PlayDate, but can be really bad in cases like the Rabit R1. Customers will see their consultancy as endorsement, and any publicity good or bad will reflect onto to them.
Wow, I did not expect to see David's notation here on HN. The only problem with the notation is that it becomes so second nature that you forget it's not standard!

Precast concrete is often made at a factory then transported to the work site, a factory environment would enable all sorts of processes and this one doesn't look too difficult in principle - not to sell them short, it's great research and biomimicry is rad, but layering plates in polymer seems like it's definitely automatable.

Not in Australia. No hot bags for any orders including Pizza. It drives me nuts, I never order really now. It’s not cold enough for the food to be stone cold, but it’s like warm at best. Not enjoyable at all.

Using a standard supermarket freezer bag makes a HUGE difference.

I don’t understand how it’s not a hard enforced requirement by doordash, Uber eats, etc. It’s nuts. I have seen it more common in other countries where it gets colder. They’ll have branded delivery bags. Though more often they are also bike couriers rather than cars.

Especially since they so often drop two orders now.

Considering how bad tools parasitically benefit from rigid company structures, I'd diversify where possible and deal with the incompatibilities when they arise, rather than get locked into even more Software like Jira, Teams, etc...

Ideally, coworkers should discover the best tools for themselves and then get recommendations from each other.

My company somehow managed to get sold a proprietary VPN when Wireguard and OpenVPN exist. Obviously the only compatible client is bad.
I don't think that's the issue so much as the global reach of tech makes it winner take all. Instead of 100,000 retailers making a bit of money they go bust and Jeff Bezos makes all the money.
This is not my experience, working in small shops/enterprise companies (some regulated). What I've seen is a constant, hard resistance from security "departments" to do anything that is not making policies (one company I worked with for a while had a security policy denying usage of managed identities in Azure...) and buying yet another magic solution from a vendor that will fix all our security problems (offloading its maintenance on... operations teams!), sometime with configurations that resemble the proverbial "very expensive firewall with ACCEPT ALL policies in all directions".

The companies with working security in my - limited, sure - experience had security teams owning the tools and making the life easier for developers and ops, from something "simple" like certificate rotation automation, to mTLS that is "transparent" for apps, to authn/authz, to secret management, all owned and managed by the security org.

iPhones are extremely popular around the world and in 99% of those places, the people have little or no interaction with Apple billboards or marketing. Not everyone is a family in New York City, or even speaks English.

You’d have more of a point if you said Apple aims to portray a premium brand and therefore they have this reputation globally because of marketing, but even then, that doesn’t last for long if the products themselves don’t have a good reputation.

Would Blizzard have made Starcraft 2 at all if they had predicted the paradigm-shift towards microtransactions and cosmetics, with the 'game' itself as a loss-leader? This basically forced their hand to make the game free-to-play 7 years into the initial release cycle.

Indeed, Blizzard developer Jason Hall previously revealed that a single cosmetic skin for your horse in WoW made more money than the entirety of sales from Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty.

The only reason that Starcraft2 is alive at all is the late-cycle introduction of a co-op mode, with microtransaction gated cosmetics, 'commanders', and commentator voicepacks. The online is all but dead, with almost no moderation and stewardship, and plagued by maphackers at all tiers. Even something as basic as the EU MMR brackets for tier ranking are completely broken for nearly a year.

There are 3d-printers (and fairly cheap toolheads) that can handle ceramics, i.e. clay. Resolution isn't anywhere near as good as PLA, so in practice people often print a mold to make the mold from, but it's an option.
Although true, you can optimise this considerably by using materials with very strong layer adhesion like PET (which I've never had break along layer lines) or by annealing or even remelting. So for me at least who prints entirely in PET or PET-CF (note PETG to be clear) this is super helpful.

I've done Xenon a fair number of times, it is definitely the Rolls Royce of inhalants. I'd recommend it to anyone as long as you can divert a little and aren't paying for it yourself. If you don't have unlimited amounts of money, it simply is not worth it.

If you're looking for a great NMDA inhalant experience I'd recommend another classic 19th century anesthetic, diethyl ether. It is extremely simple to produce -- heat everclear and sulfuric acid together and distill. Adjust the PH afterwards. Anyone can make diethyl ether. The actual meat of the ether experience is actually on par with Xenon. I'd say the only element that makes it worse is the aftertaste.

It's still a tradition among Lemkos in the Carpathians (Slava Ukraini!) to drink ether. Drinking is a little trickier, as the boiling point of ether is lower than your body temperature. You should chew and swallow some crushed ice beforehand, and also serve a bit in a shotglass with some crushed ice and lemon shaved ice to offset the taste. I've also found pina colada mix to be a great accompaniment. If you're just starting out with ether I recommend just inhaling the vapor.
Same as performance, or any other aspect of basic engineering competency. Product, or business, will never tell you, "don't use this query for this feature because it won't scale". As an engineer, you can take a shortcut and query the database in a way that will explode after a year of growth, after you've moved on to greener pastures. Or not.
