When I have to use Scala, I am always confused by the amount of magic that is happening behind the scenes. It's so much magic that even the best IDEs become confused with me. C# is smarter in that regard: 99% of useful syntax is method calls, and typing the dot doesn't drown you in overly generic suggestions.

From what I've seen, Scala3 is better in this regard (at least the magic part), but I since Spark doesn't support it yet, my exposure to it has been limited.
I wouldn't say you are a stickler. But the most productive addition to the discussion would be to do the benchmark as you see fit and then show us the results.
I'd recommend getting a remote, third-party team of contractors, and hiring a fractional CTO to manage that particular team and any related software. Having done that pattern before; it's less liability and cost for you, and easy for you to experiment and get the job done. You can easily end the contract with the team once your software is stable enough.

My only advice would be: don't attach different freelancers to each other and expect the job to get done. That might work in some particular use cases, but most software requires (at least) the engineering team to be in-sync with each other. Freelancers rarely have that skill.

Hiring a full-time tech team in-house is beneficial only when your engineering/software is tightly coupled with the domain. We often overestimate and think that's the case every time -- it really isn't!

Btw if you want to hire such a team, I'm on the engineering end: bazaz@grayhat.com.pk
I don't think so. My line of thinking was that you don't consider all the names you hear that belong to someone without a matching job - the ones that stick out are the ones that match. I believe this is confirmation bias.
Ah you meant the entire economy, not just the railways
I believe there's a difference between the cargo ports and ports suitable for manned vehicles.

[Edit] The difference, is that Cygnus berth by Candarm to a berthing port, while Crew Dragon, Starliner and Cargo Dragon dock to a docking port.
Material Web Components for React (MUI Alternative)
Hey hn,
I've built a performant, compact and composable Material library for React. It's based off of @material/web's official Web Components implementation.

I am to use Tailwind as a styling engine, and I want to make it installable in-project, like shadcn. Kind of like a lightweight alternative to MUI.

btw I'm already using this in a production project. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Can someone explain what projects this can be used for?
Breaking the rules is a unicorn rite of passage.
> there aren't that many, that's the point.

There’s at least Qualcomm, AMD, and nVidia. All of these are huge. And then there are the smaller niche actors (who tend not to use the cutting edge, but help with RoI by forming the long tail). Demand is clearly there.

> Apple is responsible for most of its suppliers revenue as the article points out, otherwise it wouldn't have price setting power to begin with.

Apple has price setting power because they helped funding the fabs and the process. I agree that the result is not great for the industry overall, but they did not show up one day and kick the other customers out. Again, the main issue is the limited bandwidth because everyone depends on effectively a single supplier.

> we've bin in a supply glut.

Not on the leading nodes, though, right? The ones over which AMD, Apple, and nVidia are fighting. Or I missed that, in which case I would love to have more information (I mean solid, with numbers). That said, if that’s the case it does not help the story’s argument. Oversupply leads to lower margins, but one customer taking a large chunk of production restricts supply, which has the opposite effect.

> AI chips aren't the only chips in the world, DRAM makers like Micron, an American manufacturer are the kinds of companies that are effectively at the mercy of Apple because of how outsized of a portion of the market they are.

DRAM and CPUs tend not to use the same processes, so the only way they are in direct competition is because investment is limited but that point is undermined by Apple financing the fabs. So what is the actual problem here? IIRC Micron is investing quite a lot in new fabs in the US, with the help of the government, which is exactly what needs to happen.

The more I think about it, the less convincing the whole thing is. The story is a collection of rants because the author does not like Apple, but it is full of contradictions and non sequitur. There are some good points beneath, but they are well hidden and not directly relevant.

FTS5 works great. The only issue I had is that the syntax for the queries is quite irregular. Had problems both with understanding it exactly and translating to it from the usual format of space delimited keywords, exact strings in quotes, etc.

I wish it would have an API instead where I could put the parts of the query exactly (as nodes in a tree) without the need to translate to this irregular syntax.
> bathroom stops are disgusting, and there is a lack of order/safety on board

Sounds more like an "America problem" than a Flixbus problem.
Right, but that meaning isn’t quite right. To pique your interest is to arouse it, leaving open the possibility that you become even more interested, a possibility which peaking of your interest does not leave open.

Show HN: Remove silence from your videos/audios with one-click
I'm still on the journey of building my personal brand. To achieve this, I want to create content on platforms like YouTube (Shorts), Instagram (Reels), or TikTok (Guess what).

Unfortunately, I never had the time to properly edit them and remove boring pauses. So Why do it in 10 minutes, when I can automate the stuff in 16 hours? Yeah thats the motto..

So, I wrote a "small" tool that cuts automatically for me. I can set the desired pause length in the tool, then simply click a single button, and the tool edits my audio or video.

I thought I'd share the tool with you for free. Maybe you'll like it!

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback! Thank you!

> Each "fault-tolerance" criteria added adds some cost. At some point the cost of being resistant to errors exceeds the cost of downtime.

Not to forget: those costs are not just in money and time, but also in complexity. And added complexity comes with its own downtime risks. It's not that uncommon for systems to go down due to problems with mechanisms or components that would not exist in a simpler, "not fault tolerant" system.
Because the proposal is about several kinds of unions:

- closed hierarchies of reference types that the compiler will verify at build time

- value types that use compiler tricks to behave like closed hierarchies (tagged unions)

- custom types that can have any implementation but can hook into the same compiler mechanisms to behave like a union of types

- ad-hoc unions of existing types
I worked in an e-commerce company before and was responsible for the logistics tech.

The first thing to keep in mind, is migration will not be easy, mainly because no one would understand how the current systems work or the decisions behind each function.

You’ll need subject matter experts from your team to guide the new devs during the migration.

Having a CTO to hire the team is two edge sword. If you get it right, you’ll save months down the line getting things right, but if you get it wrong, there is a chance you’ll have to rewrite everything again in a few years.

My suggestion hire a senior full stack developer to do one feature outside the current system but in a way that integrates with the workflow.

This experience will provide lots of learning for your company on how to manage expectations, tech stack required, speed of development, ROI. You’re not going for a large investment either, one developer will not break the bank.

> Borrowed from just-as-weird French "piquer" - to stab or jab.

Literally «piquer» means “to sting” or “to prick” more than stab or jab, it's never used to describe inter-human aggression.

And piquer is colloquially used to mean “to steal” (and it's probably the most common way of using it in French after describing mosquito bites)

Edit: and I forgot to mention that we already use it for curiosity, in fact the sentence “it piqued my curiosity” was directly taken from French «ça a piqué ma curiosité».
I also thought that Firefox latest redesign was quite bad.

This project fixes it and it's easy to install : https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix
This is also how the classic car market works.
Thanks! Does this sync across FF instances on different machines? It's a bit unclear from the description

Relevant from 2022: https://www.tht.org.uk/news/heterosexual-hiv-diagnoses-overt...

I was mind-blown when I learned we were at a point where we could realistically talk about eradicating HIV. Am not a Tory by any stretch of the imagination but props where it's due to them for saying it out loud: no new HIV infections in UK by 2030. As far as I understand the current government are committed to this plan also.

Of course, no new infections in UK != eradication, which is the next step. I had not heard of Lenacapavir - this is amazing news from Munich.
The distance between "I've seen such comments on HN" and "environmentalists successfully prevented even the discussion of a technology for decades" is rather vast.

And that's giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you're not talking about comments that are actively discussing carbon capture, but just saying it's a bad idea.
aka - should inflation just go forever. "Eating out" is just ridiculous these days. I favour hole in the wall type places where its an honest meal - and prices make sense...when i go to a pub - and my friends pay $20+ for a damn burger , and sometimes it doesnt come wih fries - i just think "damn a sucker is born every minute".
Why only in the EU?
Any concrete examples?

PIO is surprisingly flexible, even more so in RP2350.
It's more interesting to expand client options for WebXR/Immersive which was narrowed down to Meta/Oculus browser untill A) Wolvic from Igalia who took over the abandoned Firefox Reality browser and B) Apple finally got it some of it into some Safari devices. If you believe the web and information consumption in general will become more 3D over time like me then it is a capacity building step in the right direction at least. Sorry for the late reply btw lol.
It's mind-boggling they are doing all this gymnastics instead of just allowing other browsers and app stores everywhere.
So, will Electron apps be an option now, for better or worse?
Very fair feedback. I'll do so once I'm at a machine!
Considering these all as creepy is beside the fact that not all of these questions benefit from being replaced. The nature of a lot of these questions is to use specificity to learn and connect about highly specific things in life, which a lot connection is based around. You find it creepy because it's very personal. You don't need to say it like a serial killer, but getting personal is the whole point of this post
Only the EU is requiring them to do it, but other governments might start pushing for it given the upsides
For the containers vs. workspaces - I was sloppy with the term, what I meant is different "views" which include sets of tabs. One slight difference is that containers give you a clean slate for each (as in, if you're logged in to a site in container one, you need to re-login in container 2). In any case, it's a good enough solution for me, thanks for the heads up!

"opening any tab on another device" is not what I'm looking for, though - I want to restore entire wokspaces/tab groups/containers across instances, not one by one, then arrange them again into containers.
> If news sources were publicly funded like schools, that compromises the very important news function of reporting on the government.

Not necessarily. In Sweden the public service system has independent right to basically tax the population. So it's not the government paying the news, it's the news taxing the country directly. I'm not saying that doesn't have its own issue, of course it does, but it's a smart tradeoff I think.
Because they're compelled to do so by EU law, they don't want to do this and no one else forces them to.
It's kind of cruelly ironic that a jobber artist needs to be very strong on "business qualities", while the stereotype is that artists are bad at those things.
> that literally has no soul

why would you think so?
Currently we use passport.js (https://www.passportjs.org/) and it gives all basic authentication - SSO, email etc. we found OKTA expensive, have used it before.
It's mind-boggling they are doing all these gymnastics instead of just allowing alternative app stores and browsers everywhere.
Nature's technology vs. Human Technology

Emergent vs Reductionist

LLMs are Emergent

Therefore, LLMs break the mold of human technology and enter the realm of nature's technology

We should talk about AI Beings not apps if we wish to stay with this analogy.

We can always say that's BS and that the analogy does not reach that deep

Or we can take it for what it is and admit LLMs are not similar in their behavior to any tool that humans have created to date, all the way from homo habilus till homo sapiens sapiens. Tools are predictable. Intelligences are not.
> Meet the above test suite requirement if Just in Time (JIT) compilation is unavailable (e.g., if Lockdown Mode is enabled by the user)

Interesting, I wasn't aware that Lockdown Mode disabled JIT. Does it do that system-wide, or only for third party apps?
Yea, Sweden has a similar system and problem. A bit part is that the public broadcasters think they are competing on views. Which is rather wrongheaded I think. They should focus on quality and education, not on just getting views without substance.
This is weasel wording but with actions. I’d expect better from Apple
PSA: Regarding the National Park system, it is now gate-kept by Booz Allen Hamilton (of McLean, VA, spooky). Yes that Booz Allen Hamilton. They made millions creating a database that keeps track of where everyone recreates[1] and make more millions auctioning off access to the parks.

You thought your lottery fee on that permit you didn't get at least went to a good cause? lol. Nope. It went to Snowden's old employer.

It's also convenient that the park system (and others) are conveniently NOT ACCEPTING CASH whenever it's inconvenient for them to do so.

It further creeps me out that the OP never saw a single soul yet got a CCP-esque letter. This means they've also installed secret cameras, and that the Recreation.gov database perhaps has some extra tables to attach "incidents" such as this.
A simple example is the Result<T> which could have either Ok(T value) or Error(string message). In order to get the value you need to switch over both cases, forcing you to handle the error case locally.
> trying to get 12 year old me into old junk like pink panther or whatever cartoons were watched in the boomer era

I caught a few of them in reruns in the 80's, and for a long time, I assumed those were what the Pink Panther was.

It wasn't until college that I learned about the live-action Inspector Clouseau movies that the cartoons came from. They're amusing farces, and still hold up pretty well. (Though honestly, the Marx Brothers hold up better.)

I am a weird person and for me thinking about the ultimate outcome (death) helps. Cannot be avoided, only procrastinated, but not by much and with great cost. Also the realization of my insignificance helps too. If I was not here, I was not born, if I did not turn that corner in my life, all the people in my surroundings would do very very similarly. Not the same but likely along the same trajectory. Similar good, similar bad. Have friends, child, colleague, husband. Someone was achieving in my place what I achieved. There are rare examples in history for exceptions, but even if my unique gift for humanity achievement was missing, the humanity was doing well anyway (we surely had one off people like Einstein or Taylor Swift - hehe - wasted yet here we are, we cope without that some way we call our precious life).

No point tiptoing around my precious life because it is so boringly ordinary that it exists in the billions. It is fragile, a little miracle in fact, so better not waste it by taking too big risks but not risking it by putting it into a protective case and put in a guarded corner for show either. Risk it, so not to risking it becoming too insignificant. Insignificant not for the crowds and social media outlets but for yourself! Bad things will hapen to cautious and not that cautious people alike. At least at and around the end. Better not wasting the time until then by putting us in a comfort cage.

Nothing new was said here actually, with different words this was told a million times perhaps, yet, it needs to be repeated.
It's not a huge deal, but it's still a very strange choice on a product released in 2024.

Pretty much everyone has a USB-C cable lying around on their desk because they use it to charge their smartphone. I probably have a Micro-B cable lying around in a big box of cables somewhere, last used several years ago. Even cheap Chinese garbage comes with USB-C these days.

Sure, Micro-B is technically just fine, but why did Raspberry Pi go out of their way to make their latest product more cumbersome to use?
I didn't realise we had 18 mile depths.
If a prospective employee told me a story about how they used a note-taking app like this to optimize their school grade output I would be extremely worried for a lot of reasons and consider it a major red flag.

What would be encouraging is an app that does not REPLACE your note taking but rather amplifies the capabilities.

You must take notes to learn deep. Handwritten is very important.

You will miss some things, which an AI could be tracking and summarize

What I would consider valuable is an app that supplements your notes. It would need two components... the app you have now, and reading in the notes that you have taken. Then if you asked it to go deep on a particular note or section you took notes on, it could add to the notes that you took without stealing the important part of the learning process
I want to say they take their security very seriously, but I think its more about their tech support not being ready to face new problems.

Of course your local kiosk guy would have no issues.
> Requirements

>> To qualify for the entitlement, your app must:

>>> Be distributed solely on iOS and/or iPadOS in the European Union;

I assume this means you have to release a separate App like "Firefox EU" to be able to use Gecko, right? Practically speaking, would any major players actually do it? It just sounds unlikely to me but I may miss something.
If you should decide to go inhouse, I can warmly recommend checking the *frappe framework*, with which the open-source ERPNext was built.
Compared to other such things this is truly open source (not like odoo and others, which really try to catch you in with being "open-source" and then let you pay up for the features you really need).

It is very powerful and comes with so many batteries included and is actually quite fun to develop with.

Here is a story of a big financial institution betting on inhouse dev using frappe. (There is a TLDR on the bottom of that page ;) )

Your mindset is responsible for so much corruption and abuse. It is sad to see someone smart spend so much time on this - even worse is to imagine the untalkable things you have seen and done.

If you read their requirements you can infer why they’re doing this: security. They absolutely do not want users’ phones hacked by a 3rd party browser bug. Nor do they want a 3rd party browser phoning home with user data.

Absolutely the last thing they want is Facebook shipping their app as a browser which bypasses all of Apple’s privacy protections.
It's honestly weird to me how much work they put into their hissy fits. It's not like their bottom line or their stock price would notice it when they would just open up their OS a bit more.
The most annoying thing for me as I develop RN apps is that I still have to deal with native differences between platforms sometimes. Things like BLE, permissions, and file system.

That being said, it's not terribly frustrating, and I really enjoy RN dev. You just need to make sure to still test on each OS you're targeting.

Regarding tooling, I don't think you'll have any issues finding a crash/bug reporting solution that is easy to set up for each OS.

Also, Expo is the recommended platform on which to build RN apps [0]. It's very mature and they develop and maintain many high quality packages.

For reference; the earthquake that caused the massive tsunami and Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster 13 years ago was magnitude 9.0. This earthquake was 7.1, roughly 100 times less energetic, though the article notes that seismologists in Japan are warning that stronger earthquakes than this one are more likely than usual in the near future.

That’s the story you’re telling yourself to make sense of the world.
Yes it needs to be a separate binary. You can’t offer an app with selectable browser engines.
I recommend using frappe framework, as the ones mentioned are not as "open" as frappe. Odoo was quite a disappointment, because everything you really need is locked behind a paywall...
