I'm wondering if this is how we did a net install of a custom Distro back in a former job, but I don't recall. I just remember it being insanely easy to install the distro over the network, even on a VM.

How else would I have shrunk 12 pages of high-school physics notes to fit on the allowed 3x5" (76x127mm) index card with 0.1 pt font printed in raster mode at 600 dpi on an HP LaserJet 4? WP 5.2 for DOS. IIRC, Word for Windows at the time was inflexible in granularity of TrueType font sizes.
What is the technological or feature upgrade in refrigerators even over a 20 year period?
My primary fridge is from 1997 and food is cold, ice is made, water dispensed and it didn't cost 4,000 dollars in 1997 either. Oh and the inside shelving is done with metal and not plastic.
I work pest control for a very small company. I'm interested to see how the mom and pop organizations handle heat regulation in my industry. I can already forsee introducing heat index into route scheduling being a difficult adjustment for some.

Does it amazes you that they gain less then 1 square kilometers even with their Chinese bikes and turtle tanks?

not sure why everyone shits on Russian shovels, the RuZZian special forces recorded themselves how they train to fight close combat with shovels, a shovel is a weapon. Anyway the real quote was something like "weapons and shovels" but the Ruscists could only read the last part. The Zeds also claim they fight NATO, I say to all the Zeds please attack a NATO country then you can claim you fight NATO - because now you fight just your little brother that gas some old Western weapons and better intel, the difference is that Ukraine is not Chechnya so is harder to invade them, the drunk bear found a big enough adversary to break it's mouth.
Hard to take seriously anything in an article that says things like

> If I was to rewrite the Wikipedia summary of the Enlightenment, my cynical side might just edit it to: An Age in which European men developed a high opinion of themselves as transcendent rational beings steering the chaos of irrational nature, women and the body.

And

> So, when Enlightenment thinkers referred to multi-gendered humans as Man, they were not talking about actual humans, but rather about their one-sided ideal of a rational problem-fixer. It is Man at the helm of the juggernaut of industrial progress, with its militaristic states and megacorporations.
It's a great feeling, right? It's been a decade plus since I've written any popular open source code, but I still run into my old work on occasion. I found a date picker I made being used on the NHTSA website, a hotel booking site, and in software my wife used to register as a vendor for events this year.

I regret paying extra for buyer's title insurance on my home. (In my state, this is separate from the lender's title insurance policy.) I got sued a week after closing by someone with a meritless claim against the sellers, whose lawyer admitted they only added me to the suit "to put pressure on <sellers> to settle." I paid over $10k in legal fees and got $0 back from the insurance policy. (The claims against me were dismissed on summary judgment as a matter of law, and the sellers eventually won at trial, and later again on appeal, on the remaining claims.)

Just as frustrating, the title company knew about the claim before closing but didn't see fit to tell me. (They asked the seller to indemnify the title company—not me—from potential lawsuits, but the seller refused. The sale closed anyways, with none of this drama on my radar until well into the proceeding lawsuit.)

The reason the policy was worthless was that it had a very narrow definition of what constituted a title defect, and it would have involved another expensive, uncertain battle in court to try to establish that the lawsuit against me should have been covered. It was better to just eat my legal fees and treat them as part of the purchase price of the house.
At this point I'm almost afraid to ask but my attempts to figure it out have failed. What is a Jupyter notebook? Where is the code running? On your computer? On someone elses computer?

This is it. You can still buy fridges that last forever, such as Bosch, but it's twice as expensive. Appliances have gotten cheaper both in terms of build quality and cost and become much more accessible and overall cheaper over the same period of time as you've pointed out.

I also wonder how many people had fridges in 1935 vs now. I don't think it's some cynical plot to make things worse over time but a result of competition. It's similar with flying and how miserable it is. People fly a lot more these days because competition has driven cost down and make it more accessible but quality had to be sacrificed. If you can afford it, business or first class flying is still pretty nice.
I am leery about how they sweep the documentation use case under the implied rug of "just put the docs and your ide together on the same tiny laptop screen".

This makes even less sense in visual arts work, where having a second monitor for reference materials is always helpful.

My ide often needs to show multiple modules and a console, or else I'm constantly context shifting. So I benefit from a larger main canvas. Likewise, I also need to show API docs. Maybe two or three sets of them. This is like my palette and tool board.

I need serious space, because my working memory can only hold 2 or 3 facts. When I'm working in a serious context, I need to wrangle maybe 20 different facts - say 5 facts from one API doc, 5 facts from another, and so on. It helps to have all the references displayed at once. That way, when I'm working on a detail, I can easily pick up a little color - an important fact I forgot - just by looking at the pallete.

If I'm working on a smaller screen, API docs and IDE become too crowded. I must scroll to find key facts, or jump between windows and tabs. In each case, context thrashing increases. I actually forget things while context switching, leading to extra jumps to recall something that was just on screen a second ago. As a result I can't get as many facts into my brain, the work is very slow, it's not fun, and I'm likely to quit in favor of something more engaging and fun.

My diagnosis? The author understands the bane of context shifting and distractions, but they might not experience the struggle of tackling complex contexts with exceptionally poor working memory, and needing cleanly organized tools and reference materials in order to enter a fun and fully absorbed flow state.

In order to help me streamline my workflow and feel less of a need for a second screen, I invite the author to demonstrate how they track five or six complex documents on a small screen, without making the view ports so small that it incurs constant scrolling, window focusing, and other context thrashing. Failing that, I think the author can be more accommodating of other people's work styles and challenges.

Sure, that is largely true. But, to state that the formal register of Chilean Spanish is “probably one of the most understandable ones, accent-wise” of all available Spanish registers is, in my humble opinion, quite a stretch.

Thanks for engaging with the discussion. With respect to the thought that came to you back in the early email days, I don't mean to be pedantic when I say this, and it may have had definite merit — like ensuring services that are naturally monopolistic due to network effects, are provided by an entity collectively controlled by the public — but an email service wouldn't fit the economic definition of a public good.

An open source codebase allowing anyone to set up their own mail server would be the public good in that domain.

A table that gives examples of private vs public goods:

Public goods:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good_(economics)

For more complex goods, involving management of platforms, I think the only type of public good that could compete with proprietary offerings is the software that allows people to form a decentralized consensus and run applications on top of it, e.g. blockchain node software and smart contract code, respectively.

That 4x1000 is more like 1000+1100+1200+1400 in present value, also you have to go out on moment's notice when it brokes down and get something just to have anything to store food in, forced into new 'features' while basic things malfunction (like in ours the cool box breaks easily because it is redesigned from a brand new weak material), also I mostly (almost exclusively?) need the feature of cold that was there for long time. Don't expect much more from a fridge than storing food in it for long. Energy efficiency is a good improvement, yet littering the Earth with 4x the fridge is not, absolutely not.

I've not evaluated either of those two in the past, no. Neither of them existed last time I looked for decent competitors to Ant Design's library.

Hmm. When I go to the MUI website right now — e.g. https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/ — and then click the hamburger menu, top-left, the resulting menu just goes nuts, glitching and toggling on and off, non-stop (Safari 17.5, on macOS Monterey). So I am unable to even look at MUI properly currently. So, quite honestly, that's the end of any further evaluation there for now. Arguably: it doesn't bode too well, but maybe they're just having a bad day? (I notice that Ant's website is totally down currently also, which I've not seen in a very long time — perhaps it's had- or they have both had- the HN hug of death?)

— But TBH, based upon what I've just read on their site: MUI isn't really going to be an option for us, because of its commercial licensing.

But their stuff might be worthy of consideration / buying a license, if their stuff totally wowed me — but the bar is set quite high with Ant, which has a lot of components, with a lot of functionality, and is fully open-sourced (and backed by some big companies, and with years of development behind it already). Their table (data grid) looks ok, but a bunch of the features (which Ant has) are commercial-only.

A quick look at Chakra shows that doesn't have a date picker, nor a calendar, and their table is nothing more than a nicely styled basic HTML table — no additional functionality — no sorters, no pagination, no filters, no row selection, no fixed-columns, all of which, and more, Ant's table already has — Granted it can likely be coupled with the likes of TanStack Table to add some of these, but that's just more work when one just wants something that just works straight out-of-the box (and TanStack Table still doesn't cover everything that Ant does).

Ant Design also has a good handful of other quite useful components, that I don't see in Chakra — Chakra seems to have about half the amount of components?

In short, to me, Chakra seems a bit too new / immature — or perhaps simply has a smaller scope? — when compared with the likes of Ant Design's React component library — which, for desktop apps, is certainly much closer to being 'enterprise grade', straight out-of-the-box, with no messing about (e.g. with third-party components, perhaps less well maintained).

It looks promising though — but I've looked at plenty of other UI libraries over the years that looked promising in their early days, but never grew particularly much, so we'll have to wait and see. But right now, it's some way from being usable on much of the stuff that I build.

Cheers for the mentions though, appreciated.
So far, my personal projects haven't used a database. If I need a DB (service), these would be my top candidates:

- https://supabase.com

- https://pockethost.io

- https://fauna.com

- https://www.edgedb.com

They all support serverless and also provide auth (to avoid the user storage/query problem[1])

While SvelteKit does include backend functionality, unfortunately it doesn't have any special DX for databases. I think there are other starter templates built on top of Kit for that...

Maybe. Commercial anything often has subtly different use cases that are not advertised or shown since they are implicit in an industry. Commercial kitchen appliances have rock solid frames, bases, enclosures but wearable parts might be no better than anywhere else since it might be assumed they are being replaced every year.

Completely different example I encountered recently. A bike tech told me the highest end components need constant adjustment and maintenance since tey are made of such lightweight materials. Totally fine if you've got a dedicated maintenance tech on your racing team. Pain in the ass if you're a weekend warrior.
Mako is in Python, so I would be surprised if it is in any way related.
The vibe is uber rich bohemian, sure. Everything is relative -- to most outsiders SB proper is itself richie riches, it is literally 20-30 min walk fron SB coastal road to Montecito. I don't mind taking advantage of the nice "bohemenian" shops when I'm there but have you noticed how many emptied out shops there were on state street the past year? It definately gives me "Let me open my dream antique/clothing store using my family/partner's money and ride it out as far as our budget allows" vibes.

Also, compared to Europe the ocean is objectively garbage for swimming (no shade for the surfing or what not). But there is little alternative in the entire US I guess so there's that.

If you have a lot of files, the initial (dev server) page load times increases linearly with the number of files you have.

With a slow bundler, that tradeoff made sense, but with a fast bundler, it is suboptimal.

Also, typically the application is split into multiple smaller bundles, so only a slice of the application is rebundled on change.
I switched from Lulu to Amazon a while back for the better margins. Also Amazon had a more computer-booky form factor. I make more money on Amazon than I did with Lulu, but I like Lulu more as a company.

I'd be interested to see what happens to this author's sales if they decide to give away the ebook for free. (And, yes, DRM on an ebook is actively harmful to your brand. Pirates never see it and only legitimate customers are negatively impacted.) My ebook is free online; my paper book sales are very much appreciated to help cover my grocery bill, but I'm definitely not quitting my day job.
Hi Andreas,

First, thanks for this project and making your self accessible!

Will "plug-in" or "add-on" support be a first-party concept in Ladybird?

I ask that because in years past a few other browsers (Konqueror, Falkon, Dillo, etc) made it pretty far but lacking add-ons, useful capability such as 'NoScript' or 'uBlock' or even a tab manager made them non-starters.

Nevermind that the mines, landfills, groundwater, and air can only support this kind of consumption for so long.

That's not your problem until a government makes it the manufacturer's problem, and of course you're going to be against them doing that because it's an affront to free markets and will increase your costs so you can no longer get a new "disposable" fridge every five years.

Major parts of the compiler have been unchanged since its original public release. It still uses Google Closure Compiler (GCC), but the community understands that was the wrong choice of technology in retrospect. The compiler is still actively developed and used internally by Google. What is going away is the Google Closure Library (GCL), since modern JavaScript now has most of what GCL offered, and it's become easier to consume third party libraries that offer the rest of GCL's functionality.

The reason ClojureScript has not moved away from GCC has to do with the fact it performs optimizations -- like inlining, peephole ops, object pruning, etc. -- that ensure ClojureScript's compiler output becomes relatively fast JavaScript code. The closest alternative to GCC's full-program optimization would be Uglify-JS, but it doesn't perform nearly as much optimizations as GCC does.

For a concrete example, consider the following code. I am intentionally using raw JS values so that the JS output is minimal and can be pasted easily.

(ns cljs.user)

(defn f [x]
(let [foo 42
bar (- foo x)
baz (+ foo bar)]
#js {:bar bar
:baz baz}))

(defn g [x]
(let [result (f x)]
(when (pos? (.-bar result))
(js/console.log "It works"))))

(g 0)

The ClojureScript compiler will compile this code to something like this

var cljs = cljs || {};
cljs.user = cljs.user || {};
cljs.user.f = (function cljs$user$f(x){
var foo = (42);
var bar = (foo - x);
var baz = (foo + bar);
return ({"bar": bar, "baz": baz});
});
cljs.user.g = (function cljs$user$g(x){
var result = cljs.user.f.call(null,x);
if((result.bar > (0))){
return console.log("It works");
} else {
return null;
}
});
cljs.user.g.call(null,(0));

Paste this into `npx google-closure-compiler -O ADVANCED` and the output is simply

console.log("It works");

On the other hand, `npx uglify-js --compress unsafe` gives us

var cljs=cljs||{};cljs.user=cljs.user||{},cljs.user.f=function(x){x=42-x;return{bar:x,baz:42+x}},cljs.user.g=function(x){return 0<cljs.user.f.call(null,x).bar?console.log("It works"):null},cljs.user.g.call(null,0);

This is quite larger, and possibly slower, than the output of GCC.

The bottom end of the market for the most part doesn't look like either of these. Maybe that Maytag line is an exception.

The bottom end of the market is cheap junk made of low-quality plastic parts, with junky levers, hinges, and buttons, and questionable UX around those buttons. Dishwashers with plastic tubs that warp in the heat and dish racks where the coating wears off and they start to rust after a few years of use. Refrigerators with plastic trim that cracks and isn't replaceable except without ordering a $50 all-in-one shelf unit. Etc.

And there is no middle tier of anything anymore: it's all bifurcated into "cheap junk" and "luxury".

>US can fight three peer

That's never been doctorine for the simple reason US hasn't had (near) peer rivals until PRC in last 30 years. Peak hyperpower US 90s doctorine was calibrated for 2 "major" wars, when major is with adversaries who were frankly all medium powers (IRAQ tier). Then in 00s-10s it shifted to 1 "major" war, 1 holding war, i.e. actively fight 1 major war, fix another major war in place so resources can shift to second war after active war. Now half the think tank writing is questioning if US can win in PRC backyard, where PRC is characterized either as near peer, pacing power, or peer. US doctorine right now is maybe can deter PRC until post 2030s "decade of concern" but right now US IndoPac posture in PRC backyard a tossup.
