Yeah, it so fast that AMD is not even able to catchup and that many of the extensions is available only on Intel CPUs.

Ambivalence is a weird thing. People often speak in two minds. We
hate AI, but we love AI. I love ice-cream and crisps. but I tell my

5 mph faster is a maniac.

Here on HN we often see the schism between speaking "as a developer"
and "as a user".

As a user I hate a lot of the shit we gleefully enthuse about here.

I remember the days when one of the complaints about PHP was people mixing PHP and HTML together. And no, it was mixing PHP and HTML together. That’s it. Don’t try to tack on anything else to the conversation. And we’ve been going back to it for some time now. This doesn’t even map to HTML naturally!

I’m mean fine have fun with your libraries but the amount of excitement for something like this? Amazing.
We don't have to speculate about what they might do, as "the whole flight is economy class" is basically the budget airline business model (even though some of them have some flights that have a premium class). Apparently you can run an airline where the entire plane is cheap seating, and the outcome is the level of comfort and service provided by budget carriers.

American houses not made of concrete usually do not withstand high winds well.

An increasingly large part of the US is subject to storms that include very high winds. When a tornado or hurricane hits a wooden house directly, the results are not usually good for the structure or the occupants. Concrete homes tend to survive much better.

Welp, another fasthtml project. I still don't understand the idea of reinventing HTML in another language. It's too restrictive and will never be as compatible as JSX.

Don't get me wrong, I love HTMX, I just don't want to write DSL to generate HTML. IMO a backend language should integrate HTMX similar to how https://hotwired.dev/ works.

> a collection of half-finished documents that are always out of date

I think of company wikis as a place where information goes to die.

A useful feature, which I'm sure exists somewhere, would be "freshness" checks on pages. A timestamp for the last time someone looked at this and said "yes, this is still valid". For pages that are important, a team could set up recurring tasks for people to do periodic freshness checks.

Surely this is already a common practice, although not any team I've been on. Undoubtedly there is some ISO-9000 process for this...
I don't understand how the metaphor applies.

SpaceX is approximately half of mass launched to orbit, globally, including all other national and international space agencies. They are always free to trip up over Musk's hubris, but this hare isn't resting on its laurels or snoozing during the race — Starship (if successful) will eat the market for the Falcons. Conversely, quite a lot of the turtles (notably Boeing and Arianespace) are indeed resting on their laurels.

Other heavy/superheavy launchers can only catch up with and not surpass SpaceX until Musk disappears for whatever reason; getting past SpaceX without that probably needs a non-rocket launch system e.g. a Launch Loop or a skyhook/rotovator. Suspect only China can organise both investments and streamline the planning permission. Although at Musk's wealth level "buy sovereignty over a 10km wide strip starting on the coast of Mauritania and ending on the east border of Mali" is conceivable so even that's not a shoe-in.
It's part of the general sentiment of "look at these tornado aftermath photos".

Wooden homes do not survive as well in high wind situations, and hurricanes are high wind situations.
There are also a lot of engineering examples where the goal is to optimize for reliability. I think the most common domain is marine platforms where it is prohibitively expensive to induct and repair (you have to send a team out by helicopter, for example).

My constant battle in the last 15 years (of 30 years of development) has been the unending torrent of completely unneccesary complexity that teams inflict on themselves. I feel it's often just to pad their CVs or because the current *perfectly usable* stack is boring.

Limiting complexity to where it's *really* needed is the hidden magic of a great leader in my opinion. A great engineer knows how to wall that complexity off from the rest of the system as well because complexity spreads like cancer through a codebase.

I've never been a TD but I can imagine your pain.
One nit to pick

> It's a bit tough to tell because we're only one function call deep, but this data is stored in a tree.

The call graph doesn't actually appear (with one exception, see below) in the DWARF. DWARF is a tree of the program constructs as they appear in the source. Local variables are children of the function they appear in. Member variables are children of the class they appear in. Global variables are children of the namespace or compilation unit they appear in. Functions are children of the namespace, class, or compilation unit they appear in, etc.

The exception to this is inlined functions. Inlines are represented with two pieces. DWARF for the function is emitted in the place where it appears in the source describing things that are shared across every instance of the function, like its return type, names of its parameters and local variables, etc. Then at each inlined site, a special inline entry is emitted. This special inline entry contains a reference pointing to the shared part of the DWARF, and all the information that is specific to a particular instance of the inlined function, such as which register variable X is located in.

This is why I don’t like focusing on GDP. I think a quarterly poll on life satisfaction and optimism would be a better measure.

If you’re curious about GDP. I my car breaks and I get it fixed, that adds to GDP.

If a parent stays home to raise kids, that lowers GDP. If I clean my own house that lowers GDP. Etc.

Unemployment is another crude metric. Are these jobs people want or do they feel forced to work bad jobs.

A data point for you...

I was on a train earlier this year and I was standing behind someone out with their wife/girlfriend. He had his phone in his hand the whole time with a gambling app opened (the green one, PaddyPower maybe?). I couldn't read the screen exactly but there was a list of fixtures for football matches and a button next to each one. From memory, I think each button was odds for the game, e.g. 10:1 Luton win vs Exeter or something.

Anyway, the point is that (again, from memory) at least 8 times in the journey, he opened and closed the app and clicked on 10+ of these odds buttons, while in conversation with his girlfriend who had put her phone away at the start of the journey.

I vaguely recall him checking his balance at one point too.

Anyway, I thought I'd back up your story by telling one of mine where I watched someone place 50+ bets on a 30 min train journey! It's frighteningly easy (emphasis on "frightening")

Edit: This happened a while back and I remember telling this story to people at the time so the numbers may be off but they're in the ballpark!
The fact that they aren't changing their tactics is evidence that they're working exactly as intended. It's only confusing if you think they care about anything other than attention.

JS-heavy sites are frustrating to me due to generally worse UX — links can’t be opened in a new tab, because they’re not actually anchor tags. Forms can’t be submitted by the “return” key.

So the ship is legitimately damaged in a grounding in a storm.

The ship goes to nearest port for repairs. But when the nature of the cargo is understood, it is asked to leave.

It chooses to head south to Russia via the Baltic instead of north into the artic. A reasonable safer course.

Then Denmark denies it passage through the straights into the Baltic, so it now has to either head north again or carry on.

It arranges to get to Malta, a place that makes its business in ship repairs.

Seems reasonable actually.

To clarify, I’m not talking about ligatures in programming fonts here. I’d like to use a slightly wider set of Unicode characters, for their designated purposes, as the main and only way to write those ideas. This could include comparison operators, arrows, maybe a few other common and easily recognisable operations.

I would like to use those same characters, and where applicable with the same sizes and alignments of related characters, everywhere — in my editor, my linters and formatters, my diff tools and version control system UIs, my greybeard CLI text file batch processing incantations, everywhere.

All that really needs is languages that use Unicode characters like ≤, fonts that include all the relevant glyphs, and tools that provide a simple way to enter those characters. But all of these are important, because right now we don’t have simple, standardised ways of doing these things, and so we mostly don’t do them at all.

It’s obviously not a big deal, just a small “quality of life” improvement, but it’s 2024 and I don’t see any good reason why we can’t have nice things. :-)

Good point. If this situation is equivalent then why not I guess. But note the PBS one says "urgent need for the capsule". Unclear why. Is it urgent in this case?

closing ssh doesn't close the ports if they are being used, at least with ControlMaster. You need to run something like this to force the ssh daemon to close the port

ssh -O cancel -L 4102:localhost:4000 pc

but if ControlMaster is stuck maybe autossh is better in that case, or use this:

They can have whatever rules they want, but for what it's worth there's nothing about SPAs that makes those four bullet points a reason not to do them. You can write an SPA that is accessibility friendly, maintains focus, and respects the back button.

But, when you were writing one you do take on all of those responsibilities as the author. You are substituting the browser's standard behaviors with behaviors of your own choice.
That's a separate problem with hugely different latency concerns, likely done on a separate copy.
> Unexpected behavior for NASA was broken enough to send it back empty.

It's not a question of broken / not-broken. It's a question of known-risk / unknown-risk. The return mission had too much of the latter.

I'm as much of a Boeing skeptic as anyone here, but the knee-jerk-ism to vilify them over this is unreasonable.

NASA manages risk.

SpaceX blows up rockets, so they can move fast, until they get it right.

Boeing is trying to operate as a legacy space company (read: endlessly trying to reduce risk) while also competing with SpaceX.

I'm glad they launched Starliner for a crewed mission!

No one died, because it was safe enough.

No one would have died, had they returned on it, because it was safe enough.

It is very easy to detonate on purpose though. Perhaps by contaminating it with fuel oil from the ship itself. “By accident”.

Could be cheaper on the Moon. The plastic/glass sheeting needs to be vacuum safe and hold pressure in.

There's no cost to building slow, fragile, and inefficient websites.

When you build programs that run on _your_ computers, you have to pay for that. Or at least have to deal with the finance folks asking why your cloud spend increased 5%.

But if you run your software on other people's devices, like frontend devs do, there's barely any cost to that. Any negative signals need to trickle in through user reports, support tickets, and maybe Twitter posts. There's a ton of selection going on there so you're likely not getting the full picture.

>private people) can decide to lower their risk exposure

I think the complexities of modern societies make it too difficult to measure this risk adequately. We just don’t have the bandwidth to think about the second-and-third order effects for every social/financial interaction we encounter. And people are generally very poor at estimating high-consequence/low-probability events. This means people will often take very outsized risks without realizing it; when bad things happen it creates an unstable society. I don’t think we’ve evolved to personally manage all the c risks in a large complex society and farming those risks out to institutions seems to be the current way most societies have decided to mitigate those risks.
The flippant answer: because it's a kernel.

The non-flippant answer that is related to the flippant answer: because there are dozens of distros and within those distros about a dozen browsers if you factor in all of the Mozilla forks. They could probably choose a blessed one, but any individual blessed one turns out to have an incredibly small user base (Even Ubuntu, to the extent that numbers can be generated as a secondary signal, looks to be about 1% desktop OS share).
It is very suspicious that the companies bidding are NASA contractors. This may be a case of corruption. I.E., NASA sells the moon rover for 85 M and then pays 200 M for the moon rover to do something for them for future NASA missions.
