I could imagine an IR or LiDAR like image that is still useful to detect objects or humans but is otherwise indecipherable by a human…

Really I think I am imagining homomorphic encryption style techniques.
That's a fascinating perspective. I imagine A blog should do something like press releases and describe and progress made on the actual website or plans for-. Forums should then play with ideas and chat is for hammering out details that are hard to communicate or overly noisy and for talking about stuff unrelated to the project.
> I’ve held off on diving into front end because it’s just such a circus

Its only a circus if you're constantly chasing the new shiny thing. Many of us have been productively building apps in react for nearly a decade without significant changes in tooling.
Surely Wofram deserves the Nobel as much as Hopfield and Hinton? Not for this stuff of course (which I doubt many take seriously), but because he also provided us with an amazing computational tool without which physics would be very far behind where it is today?

Does the quality of management of a company actually dictate its positivity to the world at large? Seems like a quite unrelated signal.
> Those that think deeply before responding are discouraged when a well-thought out comment is buried beneath a sea of first impressions.

A specific capability oh HN, that I take advantage of often, is being able to skip thread branches. It’s not uncommon for me to go a few messages, think “Nah”, tap “root”, then “next”, and, boom, a 100 first impressions vanish in a click of disinterest.

It’s a really great feature and can act as a crude filter for first impressions.

I agree. Everyone can fail. Letting very dangerous tiny material undetectable without a complex equipment and active for years getting out then be dispersed on huge areas by wind/rain/... is a nuclear exclusive. Moreover the most risky type of renewables (dams) has more inertia (it cannot trigger an accident in mere minutes, it is more robust). As we now have industrial renewables there is no reason to deploy nuclear anymore.

There are special symbols for those. There is no other symbol for the apostrophe

No, you would rely on a font to render those dedicated inch symbols as inch markers

Besides you can only do the display substitution with context awareness, so that ' as inches won't be changed to quotes, but ' in titles will be

“The DoJ identified four areas that its remedies framework needed to address: search distribution and revenue sharing; generation and display of search results; advertising scale and monetisation; and gathering and use of data.

…

In addition to potential spin-offs, prosecutors said remedies could include banning the exclusive contracts at the heart of the case — in particular the $20bn that Google pays Apple each year to be its default search engine — as well as imposing ‘non-discrimination’ measures on Google products such as its Android operating system and Play app store.

The DoJ is also considering requiring Google to share its vast trove of data gathered to improve search ranking models, indices and advertising algorithms, which prosecutors argue was accumulated unlawfully.”

At least Chrome will work on many different OSes, and [Chromium] is open-source so it can be compiled for anything. The problem with IE was that it forced everyone to buy and use Windows.

I appreciate your feedback :) and I understand what you mean.

Let me give a glimpse of the environment I work in. The project I work on is an Android project, which uses Jetpack Compose, a UI library developed by Google, and it's super slow in debug mode. Putting the IDE's debugger on top of it slows down the app to an unusable degree. Also, the already hot CPU and crunching RAM get even hotter.

In this scenario, print debugging gives me much pace, and it works for me.

Plus, as mentioned in the blog post, the blog post is not fully about using Live Templates for printing class names and function names or adding timestamps easily. Rather, the post is more about using a tool that fits your needs. My suggestion is to analyze your workflow and find the most repeating and boring code you write every day, and use custom live template for that :)

I think that 'growth' as a concept is in many ways the opposite of 'sustainability'. If there is a business that wants to survive, it would take fewer or smaller risks in proportion to its size, attempt to slow down change in revenue and headcount, and eventually start to influence its suppliers so that they do the same as well. Behaviour that marks a company that is, in the words of someone seeking growth, 'stagnant'.

Furthermore, it seems that organizations rich in either sustainability or growth can trade it for the other - vanity projects are trading away sustainability for growth so unusual that it would never happen normally, and financial crashes are effectively a growth-centric market forcing itself to become financially sustainable again. Perhaps human nature makes this cycle eternal...
No, they're called "countries" actually. I highly doubt you'd get very far with this "territory" label if you were to bring it up in a discussion with anyone actually from these places.
But if I told someone that I had baby peacocks on my farm, they wouldn't look at me bewildered and wonder what kind of animal I'm talking about. If they know what a peacock is, then they know what a baby peacock is, whether I'm using the correct word or not. The same is true if I say "baby cow" instead of calf, or "baby horse" instead of foal. You and I can picture exactly what those animals look like in our heads, and it seems AI can too.

The author mentions that WordPress charges for everything, but after migrating off WordPress to a static site, I've found most of the features WordPress bundles together are, in total, more expensive when paid for separately. WordPress.com is $300/yr for a business account, which includes domain, newsletters, unlimited bandwidth, etc. The cheapest provider of blog->email newsletter for > 1k subscribers is already as expensive, not to mention the domain, netlify plan (or overages on the free plan!), a hosted comments service.

I'm not complaining, but after a certain threshold, unbundling is much more expensive.

My examination indicated it was all due to "fake news" as determined by these judges. This is the first time I'm encountering the libel/defamation argument. I suppose it's impossible to know since I didn't witness it in real time and everything is secret.

I don't believe what happened was a coup attempt. They occupied Brasília buildings, that's the standard brazillian protest, happened many times before. They wanted the military to seize power, and the military refused. They didn't try to seize power for themselves, they wanted the military to rule over them. That's a valid political position. A coup attempt is the military actually trying something. An actual coup is the military succeeding at it.
Yes, you would need a build step. create-react-app has existed for a very long time and works quite well though advanced applications tend to outgrow it.

Alternatives are Webpack (stable, boring), Vite (starting to overtake Webpack since it's significantly simpler), and 1000 other libraries.

Again, there is some movement here, but Webpack has been in a dominant position for nearly a decade and there's no reason you can't continue to use it today if you value stability. It's the equivalent of choosing to host your backend on a VPS instead of trying out serverless.

Needing a build step is part of the complexity of frontend. I think frontend is getting much simpler with build tools like Vite and the addition of ES modules. But, even with these new things coming out, you can stick to your boring stable choices on the frontend just like you can on the backend.

Author here. I didn't actually post this so I was a bit surprised to find it in my daily browsing!

You make a valid point. And I understand there is clearly a large amount of hand waving and fallacy in my "for a row in your database" statement. I tend to write pretty flippantly. In reality, life is always more nuanced.

In reality, the crux of my opinion is more about how most of modern SaaS are so overly obsessed with pricing on user-based models, even when they don't actually make sense. There is obviously cost to host/run/maintain any piece of software, but it especially hurts with infrastructure-like companies. It's up for argument, but I think IdPs and MAUs fit in that category.

Building a company that doesn't charge on a per-seat basis with an IdP that does really makes it difficult to maintain a reasonable profit margin. For example, if I'm billing on a usage-based model (that's not user-based) and provide unlimited user access so that there is more usage, I could lose money just by having a 1,000-person company sign up. Even if all they did was sign in once a month to kick the tires. It kind of forces anyone downstream to also be user-based, which feels unfortunate.

My personal opinion is that there is a big emerging market for new companies to do what the big players already do, but charging less on flat-fee models. What's that famous quote? "Your margin is my opportunity" or whatever...

[edit: added more clarity to my pricing example]
I've cleaned up code where input parameters came in a dict form. Absolute shit show.

- The only way to figure out which parameters are even possible was to search through the code for the uses of the dict.

- Default values were decided on the spot all over the place (input.getOrDefault(..)).

- Parameter names had to be typed out each time, so better be careful with correct spelling.

- Having a concise overview how the input is handled (sanitized) was practically impossible.

0/10 design decision, would not recommend.

This is a bad argument. Taxes are also money invested, in schooling, infrastructure, etc.

It's a very common fallacy of people criticizing public spending to point to the stock market and say "Look! Imagine how rich we would be if we had just invested the public spending instead." Completely falling into the trap of discarding the value growth of public investments just because they are not measured and advertised the same way.

No, this is false. Censorship was made legal in India through various changes in law in the last few years. Twitter actually was fighting the Indian government in courts over censorship orders after Musk’s acquisition. They lost the case ultimately, and that was in part because the laws were changed to grant the government those powers explicitly. That’s different from the false narrative that they just cave into orders elsewhere. The censorship performed by Moraes is clearly unconstitutional - it violates numerous parts of the constitution, just within article 5.
I know you said that you've been too lazy and busy to try it, but I am very happy with Kagi. If you don't want a search engine that serves advertisement funded Trash , then I recommend supporting the search engine whose business model is to provide searches without ads via subscription.

My search lists are curated very well through my settings and even just using the recommended block list keeps a lot of junk out of my search results. If I find a bad site, I can block it from all future results pretty quickly. I also can use regex on the URL's in the search result to redirect things like Reddit to old.reddit automatically. It's very nice.

There is value in contrasting the DoJ with the FTC, which has made a lot of noise but yielded—thus far—nothing substantial.

The DoJ is more powerful—it can bring criminal charges. But it’s also subject to a higher standard. (It couldn’t forget to define market share in a complaint, for instance.) Watch, carefully, for the folks who want a neophyte at the FTC but writhe at the DoJ’s teeth.

A lot of older websites actually used to do this with a “what’s new” section or page. With blogging, “what’s new” became the entire site, with almost the entirety of the content (everything that wasn't new) now hidden.

Ironically, after mentioning that discussion dies off incredibly quickly when HN stories fall of the front page, this discussion was moved off the front page to a day old discussion. My guess is that almost no one will see it now.

Its refreshing to see this kind of work being done. Right now all the framework authors are going berserk about web-components and spewing "th3y suCk" and "w3bcomp0ents are N0T th3 futUr3!". Just nonsense. WC allow better reusability than ANY react-like framework can, and are universal. You can do pretty much anything with them. The hype train right now seem to be on SSR, and its just mad, like WTF we had server side rendering since the 90s, and then it was all about SPA's, and now they want to basically reimplement PHP era websites with SSR, making you pretty much vendor locked in to nodejs.

I take a WC over a bloated npm installed react project with 2345 dependencies any day. A WC that works today WILL work just as good if not better in 2036. Can your react do that?

>This is something people love to rage about ...

Yes, people get angry about this, but no one has provided any statistics showing this is actually a common loophole.

The basic idea in the reddit post is that there were lenders giving multi-decade loans at a tiny interest rate (only payable upon death with also sharing a % share of the gains).

Maybe there are lenders who have lots of capital and also don't understand the time value of money, but no one has actually provided the names of these lenders, etc.

According to this: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jeff-bezos-sell-5-billion-185.... Bezos has sold around $13.4 billion in stock in 2024. If he could easily avoid millions (maybe billions) of dollars of capital gains tax by this one simple trick, why didn't he?
What is your point? He is talking about the situation for artists today. He says,

I was lucky to be part of the golden years when there was a much better share going to the musicians, so I support anything that could be done to make that easier. The working musician today has to go out and play live – they can’t survive any other way. They won’t do it by the recording process and that’s a tragedy because that is not encouraging new music to be created.
Last time I heard about 211 in our counties - about 20 years ago - they (the agency that got a tri-county grant) had a resource directory website and were looking into doing phone support but funding left for some reason and the site is long gone. (Found Calaveras 211 - has only PG&E public safety/Hate crime support line/tobacco cessation info.)

Will see if it has regained any support up here - don't see much advertising for it in this rural area, and looking at the California 211 most of the resources point to the central valley... Thanks for the heads up!
