Java Web Start always seemed like a lazy approach to bring legacy desktop apps into the web. Something you would associate with enterprise software, where end user experience apparently does not matter. I remember lengthy downloads of jar files, where eventually, some desktop window using very 1990s-looking Swing widgets would pop out. Not to mention that you needed to download a JRE (don’t remember if this was automatic on first launch).

Even in the heydays of Java, desktop applications were never all that great. I remember how painfully slow Eclipse ran. And when I tried the WebStorm IDE a few years back, all the same problems still existed re memory management and some pronounced latency pressing a key and having the character appear on screen. WebStorm was also infamous for its code indexing runs, which pretty much froze my computer for a number of minutes. Not sure if that’s a Java problem though.

People criticise Electron, but honestly: applications like Slack, Spotify and VS Code run much better than the Java-based desktop apps that I got to use.

That’s really an 80/20 situation. The flag repo fixes several large problems around visibility, coordination and state tracking of flag status, but introduces more friction into the system.

I’m not sure I have a comprehensive solution. I just know which ones I hate more than which others. The repo is the least obnoxious of the options.

Ask HN: A better way to do customer support for small teams?
I'm a non-tech in a small team - handling everything except development (customer support, sales, PR, etc.).

When talking to customers (about issues, feature suggestion etc), it's often difficult to respond alone, need to talk with devs. I usually share the issue on Slack, discuss it with devs/PMs, draft a response, get it approved, and then share it on Intercom. This process is tedious and kinda feels like being just a message relay.

I wish I could get all CS-related noti on Slack, tag relevant team members and draft & send responses in the same thread. I have similar needs for sales-related email threads and LinkedIn conversations. Am I the only one feeling this inefficiency? How do others handle this in their startups or small teams?
Can you expand on this a little? I could not work out the decision from the Chrome issue you linked to.
Refunds on the 6500 vehicles would require over $400M though, the companies market cap yesterday was $9M, which suggests that there isn’t anything to pay for refunds.
I agree, Rstudio is really dated. Been using R and Python at work in parallel, I find Rstudio cannot do obvious things that R extension for VS Code can- like stopping at a breakpoint in the middle or knitting an Rmd file that has embedded code.
working with gRPC allowed me to understand how go(lang)'s use of things like sql.nullstring works (pseudo'ish code}:

astring = sql.nullstring{isNull=true, value=""}

if astring.isNull {don't do anything}
else {process astring.value}

So similarly, gRPC has a method called HasField, so:

if packet.HasField(astring) {then process packet.astring}

Is it wordy? Yes. Is it elegant? Sadly, No. But does it work? Yes.

"Could you lower the current requirement by thermally insulating the tubes?"

The thermionic effect is very interesting, if the right material is used to coat the cathode then very large emissions can be had. Combinations of oxides such as barium, strontium and others can have both low work functions and high emissions. Currents in the region of over 100A/sq cm can be achieved.

Thus, valves/tubes could be designed to be much smaller and have much smaller currents. For a digital application such as this only a very small cathode current would be needed, this then would mean a much smaller heater could be used.

In the past, miniaturizing vacuum tubes was desirable but wasn't a major priority and further development was stopped when the transistor became available.

That said, in the 1950s portable tube radios were available that used much less heater power than their mains-operated counterparts, for example tubes like the 3V4. It has a directly-heated cathode and a filament/ heater voltage of 1.4V and current of only 100mA (in series mode it operates at 2.8V at only 50mA).

It’s in maintenance mode. They may still support it for legacy Chrome apps (Chrome OS) and manifest-2 browser extensions. For the “drive by” open web, they had an origin trial for a while that you could register for and which would throw your PNaCl apps a “lifeline”.

But for all intents and purposes, WebAssembly is now on par (and beyond) what Portable Native Client supported. Some things were easier in PNaCl - threading support comes to mind.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think this is a problem that is compatible with Kanban and incompatible with Scrum. The end of sprint encourages people to mark a task as done that still has several steps and about eight business days before it’s “Done”. But WIP limits in Kanban could be tweaked to account for this and I believe still provide the correct sort of pressure for you to finish what you started before starting something new.

In Limited Work In Progress (LWIP aka WIP-Limited) processes, if you are blocked on your story you help someone else get unblocked on theirs. And then escalate if there is no movement.

You mentioned billions of people. So your argument was clearly not limited to the US. Or you just didn't make the point well.

One of the dictionaries is an ESL dictionary. It gives words as they are used and it gives the usage I quoted as the first definition.[0] The reason that the usage in the other dictionaries have the usages I quoted at the bottom is becasue they all give the noun form of "force" first.

I work somewhere where they actively encourage copilot, and I actually have some good use-cases.

Most of the time it is just autocomplete on steroids. Scanning the suggestion and hitting tab is almost always faster especially if you have to write a lot of repetitive code.

Generating useful documentation.

I work a lot with legacy codebases. Oftentimes I use copilot to explain what a chunk of code is doing, or give it a requirement and see what it generates based on context. At this point I think working with a legacy codebase as a new maintainer would be a lot harder if I didn't have copilot.
There's 'simple' and then there's 'spartan'.

People don't want simple programs today. They want bells and whistle and stuff that doesn't make them think. They want to be, in effect, 'mindless morons'.

In the old days, you had a very simple text program that did every single thing you wanted but you were obliged to remember the command-line options for it.

Today they don't want to have to remember anything, they want a button nicely labelled right in front of them to do the exact thing they want.
I have found it very professionally unsatisfying to have a clear and documented reason I was unable to code up to my own standards. It doesn’t help of it’s somebody’s fault or everybody’s fault instead of just mine. It might actually be more upsetting, but I’d have to reflect more on that.

At the end of the day it’s still fuckery I was unable to avoid.
When companies install a handicap ramp in their business, it also incurs a cost. I don't blame the bread companies for their choice, and I'm in the minority now left with no choice but to boycott, and that's fine, their finance team likely said my dollars don't impact their bottomline, and they're likely correct.

I also understand that a handicap ramp is likely considerably cheaper than retrofitting a manufacturing facility or building new sesame free facilities. It really would have been nice to see an investment from my taxes to lower the cost of this burden to enable new products. Obviously, that isn't going to happen.

My point of also posting was to let you know that you're now also being exposed to sesame flour, kinda without your consent, because they value capital over quality, and that's also their choice, and a choice you're also now participating in.
Punishment is a type of feedback to simulate the worse thing happening with low cost but with enough stimulation to learn.

Be careful because there exists significant evidence against the ketogenic diet. For example:

Ketogenic diets inhibit mitochondrial biogenesis and induce cardiac fibrosis (2021) (PMID: 33558457)

> increased β-OHB levels and SIRT7 expression, decreased mitochondrial biogenesis, and increased cardiac fibrosis were detected in human atrial fibrillation heart tissues. Our results highlighted the unknown detrimental effects of KDs

Ketogenic diet induces p53-dependent cellular senescence in multiple organs (2024) (PMID: 38758782)

> Mice on two different KDs and, at different ages, induce cellular senescence in multiple organs, including the heart and kidney. This effect is mediated through adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inactivation of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) by caspase-2, leading to p53 accumulation and p21 induction. This was established using p53 and caspase-2 knockout mice and inhibitors to AMPK, p21, and caspase-2. In addition, senescence-associated secretory phenotype biomarkers were elevated in serum from mice on a KD and in plasma samples from patients on a KD clinical trial. Cellular senescence was eliminated by a senolytic and prevented by an intermittent KD.

As per PMC11100565, a cycled KD avoids the senescence issue:

> Both an alternate-day and an alternate-week IKD have been reported to improve health parameters over a continuous KD in different murine models (10, 64), while a third study using a 3-day/week IKD reported attenuated improvements relative to continuous KD (74).

From an idea to an app: Demark:Default photo watermark
The functions of many software are too complicated, and the use process is cumbersome, so I made "Demark", hoping to automatically add logo watermark to pictures by reading picture metadata.

From an idea to developing an MVP for verification, and finally making an app online and iterated, it has been 2 months. The version has been updated 4 times. Unexpectedly, nearly 2,000 users have downloaded and used it.

It is mentioned in the "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant" that there are four ways to leverage wealth: assets, labor, code and media. For ordinary people, code and media will be lower cost, less risky, and more helpful. Ordinary people try it. After studying the stories of independent developers for a period of time, I found that there are actually many small and beautiful websites or tools that were slowly built from a small MVP. Therefore, I also recommend that everyone discover more and try. So I am now also trying to see if I can use code or media to tap my own levers.

Version 1.0.3 of the Imprint app has been released. Old users can simply update and experience it. New users can now only pay to experience it. From a user's perspective, the buyout system is actually more friendly.

All the above points are what I learned from books. I just follow them, give them a try, and put them into practice, haha.

RLHF worked well for midjourney but I think that is because it is outsourcing something that is ultimately completely subjective and very subtle like human visual aesthetic choice that can't be "wrong".

The Federal government can build one but they can’t require it or make people use it, and an ID you can opt out of is useless. Only the States have that authority. This is settled law with a lot of precedent, and largely the reason the US has no national ID system no matter which politician runs the country. Courts have consistently held this to be outside the narrow Constitutional authority of the Federal government.

Having a mandatory Federal ID would require a Constitutional amendment, but since the States have refused to do it voluntarily it seems exceedingly unlikely that a super-majority of States would ratify an amendment that forces them to do it.
Not leaving it outdoors probably helps also. PVC in the sun gets brittle.
Somehow you've all established this phrase with the adjective after the noun. I guess it's stuck like that now. "This software is source-available" as in "this chicken is range-free".
There are restrictions on all rights. I don’t see a problem with requiring an ID, whether DL, PP, or just a personal ID. There can be loopholes but it should require some documentation and not simply “I am Kaiser Soze” in the Name blank

Everytime a discussion around UPF comes up, there is the question about the definition and people do often get lost in the detail. There are some very good definitions and approaches to defining UPF's, like many have said the NOVA classification has a good definition and classification matrix.

However, nothing's perfect and these definitions are trying to generalise all possible foods and cannot replace having an understanding of nutrition that allows you to make some of your own decisions.

It's not so much if something is a UPF or not, but its to what degree is that particular food processed and is it so processed that it is considered a UPF.

I'd recommend reading the labels here https://world.openfoodfacts.org/nova

There is so much nuance in here, yes drinking lots of coke which is considered a UPF is bad for you and there's plenty of studies to show that. However like many things its the dose that makes the poison, which is also true of many foods considered processed or not.

Studies are showing that introducing things like dyes and other colours, colour stabilizers; flavours, flavour enhancers, non-sugar sweeteners; and processing aids such as carbonating, firming, bulking and anti-bulking, de-foaming, anti-caking and glazing agents, emulsifiers, sequestrants and humectants are introducing unhealthy outcomes

Oh yeah, see the Act on Promotion of Information and blablabla, Articles 42-2, 44-2, 44-3 and 44-7. In particular Article 44-7 (2) through (4) explicitly allow for such technical measure to be enforced. ("Information and communications services" include ISPs for sure, see the definitions in Article 2.) Like it or not, it is legal in principle and your claim doesn't make it illegal.

A random person off the street will likely end up being "directionally correct" if asked about the future.
This mostly seems centered on two things:

* Since you have to use JS/TS for the frontend, you might as well use it for everything

* When you need common, modern functionality, you can find it's already there in NextJS, but missing in a traditional stack

But really, both of these could be addressed by something like https://google.github.io/mesop/

I am intrigued by the static/dynamic reusing even more code, so I'll look into NextJs to understand the benefits better (compared to classic templating or SPA-approach).

Still, I'd note that many web site types do not need to be "applications".
It depends on the team, the projects, the phase of the projects and the weather forecast. To me this "staff" stuff just means doing more of whatever it takes while making sure the other engineers learn and grow, not doing everything yourself just because you're able to.

Sometimes it means plowing into code and implementing stuff, because that's the main thrust at the time and where the most effort needs to be focused. Sometimes it means backing away and researching problems at a high level to save others from having to get out of focus.

Whether that's team leading or engineering or managering is a moot point to me.
