IMO neither one is necessarily better; they're just different levels of abstraction. React lets you think and work in components more easily. Vanilla has a much closer to the metal events and interactivity model.

I think it's way quicker to put out a MVP with a good UI framework (something like MUI or Chakra or Ant) than to spend a lot of time building up primitives from scratch.

It's like the difference between writing Visual Basic and C++ or whatever. Different use cases.

Without knowing what the OP is actually trying to build, it's hard to say what's more suitable.

I wouldn't necessarily default to vanilla OR React. It really just depends.
One thing I got wrong about this for a long long time was that this chain isn't linear and it's not (necessarily always) local.

Many people will argue that it's either:

- a cosmological system (which largely contradicts the intentions of Buddhism, where most cosmological questions are waved away as being irrelevant to the goal of eliminating suffering)

- an immedate series of one-after-the-other events describing the overall process of mind (which doesn't hold up to basic observational scrutiny).

In reality it's more of a graph of influencing factors that depend on each other. Tuning one's handling of each factor leads to the reduction of suffering in the whole system.

I started working on something that brings to Node.js what JVisualVM provides to the JRE. I've been struggling with memory leaks in a project I've been working on recently and while attempting to debug those found that there's a woeful lack of tools for memory profiling and heap visualization.

This fixes that. There's a lot more to be done here but this is an initial proof of concept I threw together in a couple of hours.

Wait until you hear about legislators.
It is not optimal to use 8-byte integers instead of 4-bytes.

CPU works just as fast with both, however your CPU cache is limited and you'll put more 4-byte integers into your L1.

I don't really understand what you want to convey. CPU is very fast with any kind of integer size. There's no performance penalty to use 1-byte integer compared to 8-byte integer. And there's performance penalty when your L1 or L2 or L3 cache is busted and you need to go to the next memory layer.

American culture loathes the idea of not treating a disease. Problems are expected to be dealt with, even if it harms society (see overprescribing antibiotics or opioids).

When confronted with people that don't understand the impacts of medicine, it's easier for an insurance company to give them fake medication than nothing at all.

Show HN: DecapBridge – Standalone Accounts for DecapCMS / NetlifyCMS
Hey folks! Any DecapCMS / NetlifyCMS users here? If so I've got something very niche for you guys: A "Standalone" (Github-free / Netlify-free) auth service for DecapCMS.

Basically it let's you invite anyone with an email address to contribute to a Decap CMS site (without needing to create a github account). It came out of my own itch because I'm not on Netlify and asking non-devs to create a github account always felt a bit weird to me.

Been working on it on and off for the past couple months and it's getting pretty stable now!

Right now it only supports github and isn't deeply integrated with a github app (so you need to manually copy/paste a token) but I'm trying to see if it's something that interests people other than me before spending too much adding more features (see roadmap at the end of the homepage)

I also plan on cleaning it up and providing a self-hosted version of it for those who prefer that.

Thoughts / comments / ideas?

If you try it out, let me know how it went! Thanks!
Well you did say: it’s much simpler and easier than C++

And if the basis of c++ is c with classes, you’re horribly incorrect. C is a small language, easy to understand and hard to master.

Rust is fucking miserable to understand, and as such, hard to master.

Why are you being pedantic?
Well fortunately, there is a setting that you can use to do "chain printing" where if you have a number of labels to print, it simply won't cut the last one it prints, and then you can send another job to the printer and it'll cut that one out and print the next (leaving the last thing it printed uncut, if you still have the box checked).

I don't particularly doubt the waste of tape is somewhat necessary. The way TZe tape works is there's a double side sticky backing, a thin film with a coating of ink (selectively transfers, with the used tape re-rolled internally) when heated and pressed onto the sticky backing), and a clear coverlay. The problem is that because of the thickness of the cutter assembly (which is actually just a mechanized pair of scissors internally), there is about an inch of tape after the layers have been laminated, but before the tape is cut. The printer has to advance the tape to get it cut at the right place, but by the time it's gotten there, the tape now has a stub of white tape on it, which if not cut off, would get stuck to the next label.

"Chain printing" solves this problem by letting the printer delay the "advance and cut" operation until it has something to fill the otherwise wasted inch with.
He is quoted at the end of the article saying that was what they should have done, and they did have a public offering, but hindsight and yadda yadda.
I'm not persuaded that scribbling on a Box<MaybeUninit<T>> until it's initialised is less ergonomic than the C. Which isn't to say it's a desirable end state, I just don't see C as a more ergonomic alternative even for this application.
Ezra Pound did an awful lot of translation from Japanese, though he didn't know the language. He got rough word-for-word translations from friends, and used them as a starting point.

When poets translate poetry, I believe that this is usually the case.
You still get performance hits from Visibility Map lookups, and WAL bloat.

As a DBRE, I believe it always matters, and you should invest time in it. Pragmatically, it is unlikely to have noticeable effects until your tables are at least in the 1E5 rows range, if not higher. Unfortunately, by that point, it’s likely that you’ll find other things of higher importance to deal with, so the problem will only grow.
Nostr and ATProto
Overall, Firefox is wonderfully fantastic these days.

I can see how this is frustrating to some, but sometimes that's how the priority nets out. It looks like the bug was triaged, investigated, took its time finding its way to the right developers, and now a fix will land soon.

This is mostly just the process working. I for one, am grateful for these folks' good work.

yup! I'll never change it, most the projects I've made use it in some way. There's little variance in how I implement the drawing, but the specs are good enough for anything I might want to do with fonts :)
Flexbox is great, but it doesn't eliminate the need to understand line layout sometimes. There's almost alway text on the page somewhere, even if the container it's in was laid out with flex or grid.
Yes, I would say it is still fairly easy to enter the software development field.

It is worth remembering that software development is a very broad field ranging from changing size and color of buttons on a webpage (which is perfectly fine) to sending rockets to space.

I don't know how true it is these days but people are/were able to find software jobs after a couple months of code camps.
> The (US) government does an excellent job of regulating many things, such as commercial airplane design and construction

If the US government wanted a healthy industry, they would have bought one or otherwise directed actual competition. Instead we only have Boeing, which taxpayers also subsidized, which seems incompetent and unwilling to acknowledge fault, which seems to be generally a gargantuan waste of taxpayer dollars compared to a properly efficient and reliable no-profit outfit.

I don't understand what this has to do with spam.
What was more surprising to me is the realization by corporate that 40% of the in-store SKUs in their US stores (in a given location) only sold through 1 or fewer units per month. That means if a franchise store got shipped a box of 12 units of a SKU, it might take a year or more to sell that box through.

What kills me is they're possibly just realizing this in 2024. What on earth has the corporate analytics team been doing all this time to not make that sort of opportunity cost screamingly obvious? Even if the margin is good, you're moving no volume.

I realize that it's probably cleaning products and other shelf stable items, but that just blew my mind.

I took a look at the article in the same site about prime numbers. It has a program in C to calculate primes, but it's wrong, for example it prits that 143 is prime. I'm not sure that this is AI generated, but the whole site is very incacurate...
We have found plenty besides those fundamental reactions - sticking to the theme of evolution, take the concept of the gene in natural selection. In that context, genes and their interactions have enormous predictive power. Fundamental interactions between particles do not.

Genes may be made up of such particles but they are their own concept, with their own interactions, which cannot be reduced to that of their constituents. You could argue that in theory you can measure the state of each particle in all of an organism's genes and simulate them according to the laws of particle physics, but that's not actually possible even in principle, for the simple reason that measuring a system to that degree would destroy it (the uncertainty principle).

There are lots of these "causal blankets" in the world, and I think they're a real challenge to the idea that everything is reducible to particle physics.
Yep.

Allowing Rogers to purchase Shaw was absurd.

The Commissioner of Competition was very strongly opposed to the merger, the court ruled against him, and Canadians had to pay Rogers $13 million CAD because he opposed it.

I was a Shaw Mobile (not Freedom) customer, and Rogers wanted me to drive 600km (both ways) through the Kootenay mountains in winter to get my new SIM cards. I told them where to go.

Rogers is junk and Canada is an oligarchy.

Also found this:

> Signals received from GNSS Satellites are usually very weak and are thus susceptible to deliberate or unintentional interference. It is very easy for an adversary to intentionally introduce RF interference into the GPS frequency bands, referred to as jamming, and deny the user position, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. Using CPRA antennas can help protect against this changing the antenna reception patterns to null out the jamming signals and direct the beams towards the satellites.

Yes, please, kill all off-by-one century business in favor of 1700s and 17th settecento or anything else you fancy, so long as it's 17-prefixed/-suffixed and not some off-by-anything-other-than-zero number)

It seems quite shortsighted, weight makes a huge difference. My brother recently bought some 75-80lb steel-framed e-bike with small diamerer wide wheels, and couldn't even make it 30 miles with pedal-assist before it died. The last 10 miles his speed plummeted from 15-17mph to 4-6mph at most, and this is for a very strong (but out of bicycling shape) guy. On unpowered bikes he is much faster than me, and I'm not a slouch.

I tried riding the steel thing with no battery and it was not pleasant at all. Compare that to my LunaCycle, even at 50lbs total it's not that bad to ride with no power.

Is it mostly clueless people (like my bro) falling for "It has a battery so heavy bike weight will not matter"?

It is simpler but like everything else it depends on the application. For a private app you can generally get away with it. Something that's more public facing? The ID will most likely leak information. As systems mature and you introduce things like replication, having IDs that are more universal starts looking good. In general, starting off with a uuid like uuid v4 or nanoid is a good bet.

These walled gardens actively spam you—that's how they make money. They only act against competing advertisers.

For there to be an incentive to avoid spam, we would need a social network not funded by it. To my knowledge this is essentially ActivityPub. In order for ActivityPub to be useful, we need an incentive to drag celebrities away from private paychecks that benefit from manipulation of other social networks (twitter, ig, tt). I don't believe there is any such entity or incentivization right now.

It's a little under 50lbs in total I think. Something like 48-52lbs if memory serves. By the way, it wasn't easy standing on a scale holding the bike, but when it was I felt this to be very necessary, haha.

But the numbers make sense, without the battery and motor, the bike should be around 15 pounds, which leaves ~35 lbs of battery + motor.
