There is a Dutch chain of baby necessities which is owned by a fundamentalist Christian. You wouldn't know except for the infuriating message their websites (there where some mergers and I think this affects two large online shops) on Sunday, all day long, are closed because of the Sabbath. A multi million Euro business which just shuts down all of its websites on Sunday.

The owner can apparently afford it, because I ran into this when we made a baby and was comparison shopping for a stroller. Obviously you move on and go somewhere else. The owner literally misses sales for his beliefs.

Now I don't want people working Sundays shipping stuff people bought, but those websites can do their thing perfectly without anyone lifting a finger until they come into work on Monday to a stack of orders to handle.
Yeah. In a ideal world where an open source developer gets equal treatment from the law facing a giant corporation with hordes of very expensive lawyers and "technical experts".

Why use @apply for this? The classes are already simple and standardized. Now if I want to modify a component style I have to go find the css file with the @apply rule, which is how css normally used to work & kind of defeats the point of Tailwind IMO. I also have to grep the whole codebase and make sure nobody was using `.card-bg` or whatever in an unexpected spot. Plus you have to deal with a mixture of bespoke CSS classes and tailwind ones. Seems like a hassle!
It's just a general idea to implement the computation part of neurons directly in hardware instead of software. For example by calculating sums or products using voltages in circuits, i.e. analog computing. The actual implementation is up to the designer, who in turn will try to mimic a certain architecture.
When I used to work in manufacturing, my company was super into Lean. I even ended up getting an ASQ Six Sigma Green Belt certification. My favorite thing to say to people when they asked what 5S stood for was "Shove Stupid Shit Someplace Secret". In my experience, that wasn't an entirely inaccurate interpretation.

Joking aside, I think this article does a decent job of translating Lean manufacturing principles to coding, but the "Set in Order" section grinds my gears a little bit. I have worked on many projects of various sizes, and I think my fellow web devs tend to lean too hard into an overly nested directory structure. In manufacturing terms, imagine if you needed to open a cabinet that contains a toolbox with a plastic organizer in one of the drawers that contains a box that you had to open to get access to some rivets. It doesn't take much for that level of organization to kneecap efficiency. I would much rather have a single directory with 20 files than try to chase down a component file that's eight directories deep. Give me a big list of long descriptive file names, not short names that rely on the directory name to give context.

I don't have data on this other than my own anecdata, so big grain of salt, but I think it's varies pretty widely by company and/or industry. In my last few jobs I've had several in which the engineering teams were overwhelmingly male, while in my current role it's more balanced. Further anecdata but in my most recent job search the engineers interviewing me were overwhelmingly male with only a few women.

Yes, but there are two easy solutions: 1. Larger nurseries to minimize churn in older generations. Fragmentation is a symptom of too many "false survivors". 2. Concurrent heap compaction.
I think bootcamps were once effective at getting non-STEM folks a foot in the door, mainly in the modern web-dev space. I have only encountered bootcampers who work on modern web stacks. They tend to stay silo'd there, unless they are very motivated to do a lot of self-learning.

A bootcamp is 6-9 months, but even an undergrad CS degree is 4 full years, and probably more intense than a bootcamp day-to-day. And even they are struggling to get entry-level jobs right now. So that's what you'd be competing with.

I think you should save your money on the bootcamp and just self-learn computer science. There are so, so many free resources out there[^1]. It's easier than ever to make personal projects and post them to GitHub. Share what you're learning publicly - start a blog, and write. A diploma is a proxy for the knowledge you've supposedly acquired - without that, you need a way to show employers that you know things.

I think it's a bit ironic that a story that is polemic first and story second is actually less effective as polemic than a story than is story first and polemic second or third or even lower. Classic age science fiction was often polemic, but it works because the stories were prioritized above the polemic and generally decent.

Of course like any genre, "polemic first" has things that occasionally transcend their genre even so, but those are also as always the exceptions, and authors really shouldn't put all their chips on being one of those exceptions. If anything the odds are probably worse than most.

I built a straight forward SEO checker with a useful knowledge base
Hey HN,

A while ago I was trying to improve my SEO on my first startup, That was when i realized how clunky and overcrowded most SEO tools were i used Ahrefs and Semrush initially. I found that a lot of people had the same sentiment so i made a leaned down tool, Seototal it is designed to be quick and easy to use, it generates straight forward reports with links to solutions to the SEO issues.

The tool is currently quite early in development and needs a lot of improvements that why the pricing is low, but I will try and launch it on product hunt next week.

I would really appreciate any feedback feature suggestions, thanks for your time.

Surely those bad actors were motivated by profits? The shareholders might not have voted for a "profits over safety" motion but the entire system created the incentives that led to bad actors acquiring their positions and doing bad stuff. And the system here is shareholder focused capitalism.

Although I agree this could happen in other economic system too, in a communist system it could be simply an order from above for example.

> Borrowing money becomes more expensive so companies will focus on their own needs (or surviving) rather than giving or outreach programs.

All the (Big tech) companies - not just Apple and Nvidia - have higher revenues and profits now than they did during the Zero-interest regime. They are not hurting for money to fund outreach programs that meet their strategic goals.

What has changed is their hiring outlook. Online services saw unprecedented growth when everyone was cooped up in their homes due to Covid lockdowns, and the tech companies thought the growth would be permanent, rather than a temporary bump, and couldn't hire engineers fast enough to meet the anticipated growth: hence the outreach to non-traditional hiring-pipelines. After the layoffs, they stopped hiring aggressively and the labor market is now a buyers market

Seems like another left-pad incident, I guess we'll never learn to have local mirrors for dependencies.
The fact that millions of programs use the exact same code, is what makes exploring that code for vulnerabilities worthwhile.
If there was more original code, it would have less impact when a vulnerability was exploited and much more effort would be needed to attack each application. Luckily LLM can help us create and test that unique code at a lower cost than before. The problem with everyone not rolling their own library code, is that the experts code often contains issues that exist but do not become public knowledge for years, because libary users don't bother to look at it or understand the code, they don't understand how it works or use it correctly.
Also not a question, just want to say that "crt glow" (or maybe "Cerenkov glow"?) effect upon hovering over a link is awesome.

Effective Code Reviews: Align your team and ship better code
Researchers discover a new form of scientific fraud: 'sneaked references'
It's worth keeping in mind that lean manufacturing and all the interesting things that Toyota did that get written up are about building cars. In software the equivalent process is compiling and deploying code. Writing software is equivalent to designing, prototyping and testing a car. So while there are many interesting lessons to learn they are about the deployment and running of code, not about writing it. In the mass manufactured automobile industry you spend more time and effort building the product than designing it. In software you spend much more time designing (specs, coding, testing, all that stuff) the product than deploying it. The lessons of lean manufacturing may not apply to design.
I think the copyright angle is what will continue to cripple true AI since you can't ask it "hey I want like Darth Vader but red suit and slightly more like a power ranger, but still keeping a little bit of the Star Wars asthetic" it starts squaking about copyright issues, I go to a person, ask the same thing, they'll just do it.

Copyright is about blatant copying, deriving from other peoples work has been a thing since the dawn of time, and AI is crippled greatly here.

The other thing is it seems only OpenAI seemingly has scanned as much copyrighted material as they have, arguably more than anyone else. Can others do so legally? It's an entire can of worms. AI is trying to move too fast because of hype, but its not technologically there.

I say it all the time, until it runs locally its not going to truly take off. Nobody wants to fit a billion dollar bill to ask AI to write a screenplay of your uncle Tony's gangster life.

Edit:

Another angle, is the guard rails. I cannot ask AI to give me a regex of slurs so I can filter it out. (An actual positive thing.) It scolds me for even asking when it realizes it could output the nword. This would be a net good thing, and very useful! Hand crafting regex is painful. You learn it for one task, then you forget everything because you don't touch it again for months.

Just because there are some bad actors out there, it does not mean that you should behave the same way.
I remember first time writing a web-shop I thought things would be reasonably static. Gradually I changed my mind, it is more like a first person shooter. The new product sticks it's head around the corner and the first one to shoot it gets the kill but it only counts if you make it safely though the transaction in time. Picking customization while the evaporate is like trying to land a head shot.
> Soon after, you're going to need slightly adjust that button

The proper thing to do, in my mind, is to gradually set up a collection of such buttons (and other components), and document their properties. A design system, if you will. You shouldn't have that many button variations.

This should also help with the "3 months later" case. Once you've catalogued your buttons, you can reason about them, update their styles, rename them as you please, and so on, while maintaining consistency of buttons across your site.

Question: where does the idea that democracy and republic are incompatible comes from? I keep hearing this am curious where it started. Is it because the Founding Fathers wanted aristocratic elements to keep popular will at bay?

To me the USA is obviously a (or maybe the) federal democratic republic. There is no contradiction. Sovereignity resides in the people and there's no monarch so it's a republic and elected representatives hold most of the power so it's a (representative) democracy.
Forgive me for not tying it back to your example explicitly.

Your example was a read. So in that case since there's no change in state (no need for protection of the data/invariants) there's no dangers in having different clients read the User records from the datastore however makes sense for them. They could use the ORM or hit the DB directly or anything, really. So getListOfUsersWithFoodPreferences and getListOfUsersWithFoodPreferencesWithoutFavouriteFoods living together as client-specific methods is absolutely fine. It's only when state changes that you need to bring in the User Entity that has all of the domain rules and restrictions.

The idea is that while on Commands (writes) you need your User entity, but on Queries (reads) there's no need to treat the User data as a one-size-fits-all User object that must be hydrated in the same way by all clients.
I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. If you google something like "windows 11 advanced startup settings" you'll see what I mean, though: the boot menu is now in Windows.

I guess it allows the bootloader to be much simpler, at least in theory.
Like many orgs, probably, their funding model was working, and then got hammered by COVID-19, and were stuck holding on, hoping for return to "normalcy".

It's very hard to pivot. Fund raising costs money. Some one needs an idea, a plan, a strategy. Everyone needs to agree to it. Meanwhile, an org's (remaining) execs and board members are doing triage. To execute a new plan means even more work.

And so on.

I've met and worked with terrific fund raisers. For me, personally, fund raising is just the worst. I've done enough to know a) it's very hard and b) I suck at it.

Different people need a different analogy to absorb the same information.

You can read "politically correct" as "politically fashionable".

When money is cheap it's easy to spend a bit of money on political signalling. However when money is no longer cheap that pure cost centre is the first on the list for cuts.
Maybe this is a little bit similar to VR and AR adoption. Arguably we have had stunning capabilities for years. But the headsets are uncomfortable and a bit expensive given that discomfort.

Likewise, the most capable models are huge, run on Anthropic or OpenAI's servers and are expensive to deploy on a large scale. That's uncomfortable from a privacy standpoint (although arguably essentially the same as any cloud service).

I believe that over the next few years we will finally start to see the transition from bulky VR headsets to comfortable AR glasses and goggles. That will lead to a huge increase in adoption.

As the LLM models, software, and hardware become more affordable and capable for running locally, production adoption of LLMs and multimodal models will continue to pick up.

I think that we are going to see huge excitement in the next few years as more and more very large and capable truly multimodal models come out. More specialized hardware like Groq etc. will become available. And within probably less than three years the truly radical new paradigms for neural network hardware such as those based on memristors, SNNs, etc. will likely show some very competitive prototypes.

As the new hardware paradigms are widely deployed, say within 5-10 years, human-level local AI will become ubiquitous.

What I take away from those charts is actually significant adoption that is steadily rising. But all of this is nested S-curves, as scientists and engineers work through small and large different bottlenecks and problems to get to the next capability or efficiency level.
JSDoc is strictly less powerful than TypeScript though. For example, more complex types as well as template literal types are impossible to have in JSDoc. It is simply more ergonomic to use TypeScript instead of JSDoc.
Personally I found when onboarding to a repo, whether memory firmware or hardware bringup toolkit, that flatter directories lead to a much slower grasp of the architecture. I prefer leaning toward descriptive directories.
From my experience, you either go full reproducible builds with nix, or none at all.

Sitting in the middle results with additional downsides from modifying pipeline without core upsides of reproducible builds.
EMC compliance rules are needed so that all our electronic devices (running software mind you) can continue to function. Part of the rules are about squeezing as much "performance" as possible out of the "thing" that is the electromagnetic spectrum. It's simple physics.

The other part of the rules are for human safety. Devices can directly hurt people (like a microwave) or indirectly (like a crappy device that prevented ambulance phone calls going through).

It's as simple as that (and not perfectionism or being mean to the poor software people).
