It's worth noting that other comparable countries don't delegate law-making power to the executive in the same way the US does. For example in the UK only Parliament may make laws, the civil service can draft it but that's the limit (post-EU-exit that is, the EU is something else).

There is a concept called a statutory instrument in which the process is optimized by allowing changes to be made to law either by "laying them before" Parliament, in which case only approval or rejection is possible, not amendment. Annulling new regulations in this manner is extremely rare however. Or in some cases it's allowed for the responsible Minister or committee of MPs to make the changes directly, which in practice means they sign off on changes proposed by the civil service. This is usually only the case for very minor changes like updating thresholds, shutting down roads for construction work etc.

Despite the inability of the civil service to directly change the law, the UK is not suffering from a deficit of regulations. So there's no reason in principle it should harm productivity, unless you mean, productivity of the government itself.
I don't see why you think physical buttons would lose orientation. My kindle had forward and back buttons on both sides that worked fine in either orientation, and on devices that only have one button per side the one on the bottom is next and the one on top is previous.

One way to improve upon the design is being able to capture the radiation from all sides of the reaction.

I have worked in food service and we were required to wear hats or hairnets specifically for that reason. If it had happened that some foreign material had fallen in the food, we would have considered it a big problem.

In restaurants, little pieces from the metal pot scrubbing pads tend to be a constant problem. But this represents a cost choice: more expensive scrubbing solutions are available.
As has been said elsewhere, the purpose of this board is not to be a Debian-friendly end-user product, but a developer tool. The focus is purely on the RISC-V side, not on having a fancy GPU available. I assume that adding the IMG GPU was cheaper and quicker than going for something more open, which is definitively a plus for the board at this time

ALso it has a PCIe connector where you can (presumably) add your own GPU if you really want/need to develop next-gen 3D applications for RISC-V

Our company has several repos with enforced conventions on PR titles (much like this tool demonstrates) which does create some pretty decent automatic change-logs. At the very least its easy to get a summary from the list of PRs included in a release. Definitely better than just a git diff. That said, there is no panacea, and there is definitely annoyance in edge cases that don't quite fit.

I agree that there is a limit to the "just charge people what each option costs and let market forces sort it out" capitalist utopian idea. Some are willing to pay large amounts for convenience that causes harm to many others.

At some point we just have to make decisions about land use and infrastructure. Do we want this space dedicate to driving and parking for cars with one person who can afford to pay congestion charges, or instead used for busses, dedicated bike roads, etc. that can move more people in less space with less pollution and less risk of serious injury.
I mean yeah, but we never start from nothing of course! Totally agree. But our experience should always be the ground truth we test against and if the science disagrees then we should hold the science lightly or ignore it. But if the science offers us something that works in our direct experience then great! And there is a progressive feedback loop as we continue to notice more about our experience and also learn more from research. That's been my experience anyway :)
> It’s bad enough to need a bespoke boot and bring up for each CPU and board on Arm, but with RISC-V you still need that as well

Really? IANA-KD, but I have read and seen grumbling from ARM developers about RISC-V "overreaching" and standardising more to prevent that kind of issue. Now, maybe the Chinese board manufacturers have gone rogue and ignoring these suggestions, but this fragmentation is something that RISC-V leadership was acutely aware and conscientiously made effort to address. I mean, I could imagine that at the embedded level sacrifices had to be made, but I'd be surprised at anything strong enough to power a ChromeBook and up to have this as an issue... but if you are better informed please share.
Any flour you purchase was processed by Cargill, ADM, or Bunge (or on their behalf). I’m sure there’s artisan grains available for a premium price, but virtually all commodity crops are processed by the big 3 agribusinesses.

It is impossible to avoid industrial food processing unless you grow it yourself.

What are you using these days, and how are you finding non-react work? I’m a front end dev with plenty experience and no fondness for react - but “3-5 years react experience” is a hard requirement for almost every senior dev position I see coming down the pipe. :/
I can't answer on the comparison but I expect salaries in Zurich will be also quite higher than in Munich, so that differences in cost of living may not be an issue.
I'm currently building a framework that's essentially "imperative JSX". It sounds like a step backwards but I built a todo app last night with it and I really like the model I came up with. It resolves virtually all of the weird issues with state management in React, because state management is now orthogonal to the render tree.

You have it backwards. The reason people still drive is inertia. The reason Tokyo has more people using public transport is that it’s expensive to own a car there and they encourage and advertise public transport heavily.

What an annoying polemic. Sure, Soylent is at once both the plaything of diet-hacking tech bros and the subsistence food we'll shovel to the poor in the coming dystopian nightmare.

They present no fundamental issue with the notion of a nutritionally-complete formula. What they do instead is note that there are unanswered questions, and extrapolate from there that the questions are unanswerable, or worse, that it's a moral failure to have the curiosity to even ask.

Unrepresented here is anyone who likes or has benefited from this product.

Soylent is neither particularly popular nor cheap. Try again when the hypotheticals you've constructed have some credible relationship with reality.

To give a bit of context to those who don’t display dead comments, I was making fun of them for choosing to write their text editor on top of a web browser engine. I could have been more polite and merely pointed out that in all honesty, it’s hard to see a web browser engine ever being the right tool for the text editor job, unless of course the web is the only thing you know.

I chose mockery instead.

See, it looked like the authors of this tool weren’t entirely innocent. The whole website oozes the need for recognition, it’s pretty with a well crafted sales speech… and the first comment I see here mentions a segfault on install. On install. Which suggests the quality of the product probably doesn’t match the nice cover it is given.

That’s wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8gIJOy0c2g
If it was that easy people would just do it, hm? Classic "HN commenter solves world problem after thinking about it for 5 seconds".

> insulting vacuum rendering the radiation harmless

Not even this is correct. Vacuum doesn't really "insulate" against radiation, at least not very effectively. It's the earth magnetic field and atmosphere that protects us. And even with that it's not harmless – surely you heard of "sunburn" and "skin cancer"?
> This is ON TOP of the really loose grounding of accepted ranges for various vitamins. Many of the levels are established on the basis of avoiding severe disease like vitamin D: "no rickets above this level" and B12: "no anemia above this level." Which is completely different than assessing optimal levels.

This is concerning. Is there anyone keeping a database of optimal rather than minimal levels?

Well three of those involve a toll on the Verrazzano unless you're starting or ending your trip on Staten Island itself, whereas the East River bridges into Manhattan are free.

The GWB can be done without a toll, but if you're shopping for a cheaper route to avoid the Verrazzano toll it's likely way out of your way.

Ideally the toll structure should incentivize through traffic to stay on highways and out of the most gridlocked streets in the country, and I'm saying this as a longtime car owner in Brooklyn who has driven through the Holland Tunnel hundreds of times. Manhattan streets are a tragedy of the commons in action.
How so? To my ears, "we need to accept significant degradations in the availability of electricity" is a deeply pessimistic statement.

Re #1, when writing Rust consider using cargo check instead of cargo build. It stops a few stages before code gen so it can give you feedback faster. It doesn't help when you want to run your runtime tests, but will speed up the cycle of getting code that can compile in the first place.
God I love Lit. I wish more outfits were running it, templating in ‘lit-html’ is such a good experience.
Lit?

AFAICT, if you pick any of the others options you'll have to refactor your site every 3-4 years as all the tools bit rot. One won't run on the latest version of node so you upgrade node. Now 2 other libraries fail and require an upgrade. Now another library fails because it's not compatible with those upgrades, repeat. You thought you were just going to fix a bug or add a small feature that would take you a few hours but now you've got few days/weeks of refactoring before you can even start.
Congress can delegate authority to the agencies. This ruling just says that they have to explicitly do so instead of chevrons ruling that agencies may interpret ambiguous statutes however they like.
> "Randomly reading from various memory addresses might give the modern programmer some concern about security holes, maybe somehow reading leftover data on the bus an application shouldn't be able to see. On the Apple II, there is no protected memory at all though, so don't worry about it!"

Funnily enough, protected memory (sort of) arrived with the Apple III a couple of years later in 1980 and it was met with complete disdain from the developer community ("Stop trying to control my life, Apple!").

Apple III ROM, hardware, and kernel memory wasn't meant to be directly accessible from the application's address space. The purpose was to increase system stability and to provide a backward-compatible path for future hardware upgrades, but most users and developers didn't see the point and found ways around the restrictions.

Later, more-successful systems used a kinder, gentler approach (please use the provided firmware/bios interfaces please).
Well then, it makes sense. I was wondering if it's about more trusted middlemen v/s less trusted middlemen - you trust none.

One reason it’s an improvement is that radiation is detectable by already-existing methods used at the borders. So it will help catch them in the act of smuggling.
A number of routers can capture every destination address your network has sent data to. You can then go through that list and mark 'safe' the ones where you know where they are going. After about a week you'll go days and days with no new addresses but when one pops up it will be some IoT device or some vistor's phone or something.
Unsecured objects being tossed around has no real meaning, it’s about controllability of the aircraft.

I’m a pilot and it’s been a while since I went over PIREPS but generally severe is rarely used, severe means the turbulence is so bad you can no longer control the aircraft. What most passengers imagine as severe is probably light turbulence. Most of the time it’s not even reported. As a side note if you’re ever on an aircraft and not secured at all times, you’re making a huge mistake.

At this point I would bet against commercial fusion power plants. It was always questionable if they would be cost competitive with fission power plants, but now even those are being replaced by renewables and grid storage.

The bigger problem is that fusion plants aren't useful for making weapons. Fission plants were basically a side project of the nuclear arms race, which is why they're a dying industry now. The world already has all of the nuclear bombs it will ever need and despite all of the promises they never managed to compete on cost. It's so much easier and cheaper to install wind turbines, solar panels, and grid scale batteries that there will probably never be a market for a commercial fusion power plant.
Thank you, I'd forgotten what it was called. Amazed it's still available.

The result of this will be:

In the short term:

1) Less people getting rides as the cost will now be more expensive
2) Less available driving jobs because Uber and Lyft aren't going to allow everyone to drive at this rate

In the long term:

These companies will leave the state. This is most likely spearheaded by the Taxi unions. The unions that kept shitty taxi companies afloat through decade long monopolies and expensive medallion systems.

But don't worry, in 10 years, we will have our shitty system back because there will be another monopoly and no reason to actually innovate.
And by "the JS version", you mean the Java version—compiled to run in the browser by targeting its JS engine. There is no JavaScript version. This is a consistent mistake made throughout your article.

It's not an especially rigorous or intellectually honest article. It's a good example of how software development differs from other disciplines. The sleights of hand used in this piece are something that ideally would be rooted out in peer review.

Except it WAS intended as a chatbot... as a tool "for research into human-machine conversation and the important cognitive processes of interpretation and misinterpretation".

Rereading this for the nth time, what strikes me is the emphasis on the keybindings, and not on the conceptual model of what a document or writing is.

Other editors like Emacs or vi have clear paradigms: in Emacs, everything is a buffer of text, manipulated by Lisp functions, and everything flows from there (eg. a keybinding is just a way to invoke a function); in vi, everything is a keystroke which does an action, and the point is to make a sequence of keystrokes do as many actions as possible (and even the modality is there mostly because there's not enough keys on the keyboard). But WordStar as described seems to have no particular idea: interactions past the typing sound like a grab-bag of features with no unifying concept, bolted on one by one by user demand & implementation ease.

The emphasis is easy typing. One notes that most of the discussions seems to come from fiction writers. Perhaps that is a commentary on the poor support for fiction writing by the tools then - it didn't matter that WordStar didn't offer you much beyond what, say, nano + a lightweight markup format like Markdown offers you. At least it didn't get in your way while typing out your latest medieval action scene or SF space opera. And simply being fast and relatively transparent was enough to make it a winner back then. "It doesn't do much easily or well, but at least the basics are reliable and they are very fast both to type and to see onscreen!" Then adding on more ad hoc features doesn't scale well, while compromising what made it so usable in the first place.

But that also explains why for all the nostalgia, you don't see a modern WordStar making much inroads anywhere. Because you can do better now, even for fiction writers - look at Scrivener, which has been enthusiastically adopted by so many writers. Just looking at the homepage https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview you can see the Scrivener paradigm: hierarchical outlining, rendered more attractive to non-programmer audiences like book writers, with modern affordances, and taking advantage of modern hardware capabilities. What would WordStar have to offer to an author who has learned to use Scrivener? Nothing, really.
> Because the Constitution defined the Legislative branch as the entry point for new laws.

And (some) delegation has been found to be Constitutional for (at least) a century:

> Since 1935, the Court has not struck down a delegation to an administrative agency.15 Rather, the Court has approved, without deviation, Congress's ability to delegate power under broad standards.16 The Court has upheld, for example, delegations to administrative agencies to determine excessive profits during wartime,17 to determine unfair and inequitable distribution of voting power among securities holders,18 to fix fair and equitable commodities prices,19 to determine just and reasonable rates,20 and to regulate broadcast licensing as the public interest, convenience, or necessity require.21

* https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation03.html

From the original, unanimous, Chevron ruling:

> When a challenge to an agency construction of a statutory provision, fairly conceptualized, really centers on the wisdom of the agency's policy, rather than whether it is a reasonable choice within a gap left open by Congress, the challenge must fail. In such a case, federal judges—who have no constituency—have a duty to respect legitimate policy choices made by those who do. The responsibilities for assessing the wisdom of such policy choices and resolving the struggle between competing views of the public interest are not judicial ones: "Our Constitution vests such responsibilities in the political branches."

It is the current reverse that is strange (Chevron was simply a codification of what was already happening for decades).
