Brazil. In my country, technology is growing rapidly, but in an unregulated way.

On one hand, we have a modern banking system that allows instant money transfers to anyone at any time, and the government is developing its own cryptocurrency. With our electronic voting machines, the country knows election results within two hours after polls close.

On the other hand, each company, including those providing essential services, creates its own solution without any regulatory oversight. This fragmentation extends even to official government services.

In the case I mentioned, each private health insurance company freely determines its own procedures for patient check-in at affiliated clinics. With my insurance plan, my ID card is sufficient--for now.

Which of those is Google's network missing?
They are at best a very minor cost addition when it comes to large projects. I see more problems from insufficient parking which is why many of these exist in the first place. There is very little independent research into the topic, it's mostly from the anticar crowd.
This has been the case for well over a decade.

I remember in the Gnome 2 to 3 transition, they removed the ability to change screensaver options... I'm not sure that ever came back.

I use Gnome daily at work, but I'd switch to KDE if I had a free day. (At home I'm on macOS + headless Linux.)
> before Ryzen AMD was a failing company

AMD was nearly dead a long time before the Ryzen. I did a comparison between them and Intel when I was in undergrad in the 90s. My conclusion was long Intel and AMD would be lucky to survive. At that time, Intels innovation on top of their yields was simply unmatched. What saved AMD then was the Athlon, and their bet on 64bit extensions to x86 (instead of banking on the compiler to do all the work a la Itanic).

The point is that fortunes can change quickly, and not all because a team or company is good or bad. Everyone makes bets with the information they have and hopes the market and technology move in their favor.
The only requirements for reading a physical book is that you know how to read and can turn pages.

If it's digital storage, you have to have electricity, a compatible device, an understanding of the storage, and software that can read it.
Naive, invalidation-unaware caching is a very poor hack that can work mainly for requests that are probably not your core feature, and therefore probably not your bottleneck.
I'm the author, but I don't follow your comment. Could you elaborate?
I can't use my watch while I charge it. Nor my earbuds. Nor my portable Bluetooth speaker.

None of those can give me any meaningful amount of use time (and definitely not enough for a full work day) from a 2 minute charge.

My mouse can. The port location is not a problem. The constant whining about it from people who largely don't use it is more annoying than any disruption a charge cycle causes.
I like it. But most of these pro features I will add for free.
This might be good advice in times of plenty. But given the downturn, I wouldn’t do this unless you want some time off and are financially solid, or have an offer lined up.
It is true that every cloud provider uses some edge/colo infra, but it is also not true that most (or even really any relevant) processing happens in those colo/edge locations.

Google lists their dc locations publicly: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/

Aws doesn't list the campuses as publicly, but https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regio... shows the AZ vs edge deployments and any situation with multiple AZs is going to have buildings, not floors operated by Amazon.

And limiting to just outside the US, both aws and Google have more than ten wholly owned campuses each, and then on top of that, there is edge/colo space.
When is the last time you tried it? I did yesterday and outside of Activision and some EA games it’s great.

The economy is not fine. It is like a race car, insofar as the problem scope is one of lagging indicators and hysteresis, (i.e. speed and fuel), but not as you elaborate.

Starting in 2010, the FED started quantitative easing. This marked the abandonment of the sound dollar policy. The economic fallout we face today are the natural consequences of money printing and the economic dynamics that worsen it.

You fail to realize the scope of the issue. In 2020/2021 the Saudi's abandoned the petrodollar agreement. This dramatically reduced the demand for our printed currency which our country has used to fund its deficit spending, and export debt to the nations who had to hold it. With the abandonment, the entire pool of printed money that nations had to hold to purchase goods like Fuel shrunk dramatically. At the same time, we had the pandemic, where we printed even more money which caused inflation and had to raise our rates to slow that down (rates don't stop inflation, it just slows down or speeds up the mixing).

Today we are faced with high rates, and high inflation. They will need to cut rates to encourage growth, but inflation will become hyper-inflation when it does.

The chaotic warblings of the market have caused shortage in non-discretionary goods. If one has been paying attention, you'll have seen the warning signs like frozen foods being consistently out, eggs increasing to almost a dollar per egg, and fast food now costing double for a single serving. There are still shortages too despite this.

Illiquidity in the debt market is all well and good in terms of velocity of money, but at the point where shortages occur and persist beyond 30 days, you've missed the mark dramatically.

You fundamentally misunderstand inflation and how interest rates affect it.
> if we look at the 1800s, people were sending messages via telegraph about what the future would look like if we all had this dashboard of buttons at our command where we could communicate with anyone and shop for anything.

I've read a bunch of history of computers and related technology, and I've never seen that. Where can I find it? (I don't doubt it; I want to read it!)

It shouldn't surprise me: The telegraph made immediate, cost-effective wide-area communication possible, and of course people then weren't idiots (or we're not so smart) - some of them imagined future development and applications.
I'm a caregiver for a couple people with dexterity and cognitive issues and I'm pretty sure a physical button is the absolutely simplest thing for them as much as for anyone else. And sure, an Ipad definitely can solve some accessible issues for some things but my clients watch things on TVs and monitors rather than Ipads (even when they have them).

But more to the point, I love my clients and friends with such issues but they don't drive and shouldn't drive.
Nothing if my favorite programming language is installed in my pc. I make the computer fun for myself. Internet doesnt bring anything.
I just noticed this recently with a USB-C flashlight. It wouldn't charge with a C-C cable but started working when I switched to an A-C cable. Good to know why.

Totally valid criticism. I'm not competing with specialized chess clock devices used in professional settings, only chess clock apps on mobile devices that people use in more informal settings.
I also played with gjs in 2013 and found it super frustrating. It's come a very long way since then. At that point it really felt like a giant hack, and did have all the downsides you mention. I'm really glad they didn't abandon it though!
Stripe Shut Us Down – Now We're Going Crypto-Only for Payments
We've been running a legit web hosting business, zero chargebacks, fully verified, and Stripe still shut us down, calling us "high-risk." Now, we're moving to crypto-only payments because we’re done with the hoops traditional processors make us jump through.

Curious if anyone else has made the switch to crypto-only, and how it’s impacted your business. Thoughts?

It is horrendously difficult to amend the constitution. We would need much greater societal consensus to be make it easier to amend the constitution.

Getting 75% of states to support something is simpler than getting 50% of electoral college votes to agree on supporting the more popular candidate? Constitutional amendments are anything but simple.
I don’t think it’s React that’s responsible for complicated code. I’ve never seen a large GUI app written in any language or toolkit that isn’t super complicated. I’ve dealt with much worse horrors with “vanilla JS” (aka, a home grown framework that does everything a bit worse in every way) than with React or Svelte.

I too have personal project code that is sunshine and roses compared to my Business React day job, but that could also be because my personal project app serves 2 users, is developed by 2 people over a year, and my Business React application serves 100 million users, is developed by ~300 people over 8 years.

A Testimonial Collection Platform Tailored for Framer Users
Hey HN!

I’m thrilled to introduce Framonial, a tool designed specifically for Framer users who want a seamless way to collect and showcase customer testimonials. Framonial allows you to create custom testimonial forms, collect feedback, and easily display testimonials within your Framer projects—all in one place.

Why Framonial?

As a Framer user myself, I wanted a tool that would make gathering and displaying social proof simple and visually consistent within the Framer ecosystem. Here’s what Framonial offers:

Easy integration with Framer projects, no extra setup needed,
Customizable submission forms to fit your brand and gather specific insights,
User-friendly dashboard for managing, approving, and editing testimonials,
Flexible display components that look great on any site.
If you're a designer or team who values clean and user-friendly testimonial management, Framonial could be a great addition to your workflow. I’m actively building out more features and would love feedback on what you’d like to see!

Give it a try: Framonial.com
Transitive closure is something that historically was not supported in SQL and the relational model.
Go really blew me away with its explicit error handling. As someone who has come from the OOP cult of clean code and other useless principles that haven’t led our industry to have less messes over the past 20-30 years. Who was slowly moving into the “simplicity”, “build things that can be easily deleted”, “YAGNI” mindset it simply clicked.

Then Rust took it a few levels beyond Go.

It’s a really good list, I suspect the languages you add is going to spend on your experience. So I wouldn’t feel too sad if your favorite language is on that list. The author lists Java as a language with an amazing standard library, but something tells me a lot of people will have C#, Go or similar as their Java, and that’s fine!
You are disregarding the ongoing trend of replacing IT workers with AI.
As long as humans have had to work together, politics exist. Whether you are isolated from it is solely down to your manager and leadership. But it’s always there.
If you send me one that fits my needs, it's easy to use, no deploy neede then I will probably shutdown lalacheck. I don't even have a domain yet.
The native app or website? Does the app have a clock tool? I use lichess a lot, but only on the web, and I haven't seen a chess clock on the website. (I'm the author of OP.)
Lots of food for thought.

I’m curious about the sustainability factor you mentioned. Are there examples of startups or projects that were cut off because they didn’t deliver immediate results? And is there still room for ventures that might need more time to grow?

Also, I’m curious to hear if there are any clear advantages to launching a startup in the Middle East. Or there is literally nothing positive about the region :/

Just like a male lion defeating the old king and taking over a pride, he’s looking to clear out all the “dead wood” (kits from the prior king) with his entrance.

You may want to update your CV and start putting yourself out there, as you might end up getting canned no matter what you do or how well you perform. After all, the best time to look for a new job is while you are still employed.

Exactly, i do the same thing with my (new) Macbook Air, it makes the TouchID sensor work much more reliable (also, i use my middle finger by the way...)
I agree with you, and it's not only about rich and Western countries: you might be rich and have a stable Internet connection, but would like to stay totally offline too, which is very hard (if you just want to watch YT videos on something when offline etc) nowadays.
Ah, I didn't know that. So I tried it.

It does display formulas, but by hiding the values. What my macro does is allow the formula to be displayed permanently in its own column.

That isn’t really true when you factor in the cost of engineering new parts/systems compared to just doing it like you’ve always done.

I know a guy who worked at GM and apparently they got bit by the “digital transformation” bug and decided that the army of iPhone app developers and ex Silicon Valley folks was what they needed to stay relevant. Hence the omnipresent touch screen.
Always hated GNOME 3 for their decision to implement a JavaScript engine into the base UI. Time goes by, now it's time to implement React.

Every UI using "simple" menu button navigation has been horrific in my experience. Remote controls, handsets, TV configuration menus, yadda yadda.
I gave up on finding a suitable app and just use a jupyter instance on my local server. Every task is a cell and you just delete it when it's finished.
You mean... all those people that got rich writing knowledge-heavy books disagree with the GP?

I work at .txt, where we work on exactly this. We use structured generation to make programmable language model systems. Here's two examples I worte + love.

One makes a (sort of) internally consistent infinite world generator with RAG + Outlines:

This one makes two characters up and then builds a simple combat loop where they fight each other:

https://github.com/dottxt-ai/demos/tree/main/nouscon-24

Both are simple examples of basic programming with language model outputs.
I had read and very much enjoyed the "AI silence or you'll be Piledriven into next week" post, without clicking on anything else on the author's blog. It was click link, read whole thing, love it, send it to one or two people, move on.

Very happy to see this here, realise it's the same person and that this is "a thing", and then to rollick in the author's backlog. A joy! Raucous real-life laughter has exploded from me on numerous occasions along with most articles. I think I've read 5 in a row there, and my brain is buzzing happily.

Thank you to the author for having the courage to write about real experiences. A breath of fresh air. I look forward to future books and articles, and reading more previous work, and cross my proverbial fingers hoping they can keep it real in the face of what will presumably be an avalanche of grifters looking to leech off the attention.
Are there any other desktop environments that support JS?
Afaik the main differences seem to be that the price of finished chips is much more volatile and that the R&D costs of continually creating faster processes and chips are way higher than either electric cars or rockets.

That is, while of course Tesla and SpaceX had to do R&D to have an advantage in the market, rockets were already invented and so were electric motors/batteries. It feels like the hardcore engineering that goes into a new process node or whatever new tech we need to get to the next iteration of Moore's law is even less predictable and more expensive than either cars or rockets.

Afaik Intel's mismanagement is only one piece of the puzzle. Correctly deploying capital to get to the next process node profitably isn't easy. Besides mismanagement there must be other reasons why global chip production is an industry that keeps seeing consolidation at the top?

The Confusing State of RCS
We provide a website among many other services to our clients. Our clients are very SEO focused, and they will go to Google's Lighthouse (or another testing site) to test their site's page speed, and then they will put in the URL for their competition's website to see how their site compares to their competitors. If they see their page speed score is 1/2 as fast as their competition, they have a reason to leave us and find a better host (whoever their competition is using). We have thousands of clients, so I am managing thousands of individual customized websites based on core "white-label" template code. Page speed matters to us very much, because it matters to our clients.

Google Lighthouse will complain about every HTTP request, and it doesn't care about CDN caching, because none of the external code will be cached when the test is run. It will tell you to minimize external HTTP requests. This is the same way every page speed test works, not just Google. So including any external dependency will cause the page speed score to go down a bit. Have enough of them and your page speed score ends up being very poor (many other factors can affect this, all of which are detailed in the Lighthouse report). It doesn't matter what the average site visitor experiences if their cache has jQuery in it from some random CDN. The only thing that really matters is that Google is telling our client that their site is performing badly compared to their competitor's site.

So, my job is to make sure our clients never, ever think about leaving us because of page load speed as measured by Google or any other testing site. Our clients pay us hundreds of dollars every month, some of them pay 10s of thousands depending on their needs (we don't just provide websites). So there is a lot of money at stake. Page speed scores matter very much to us. When our client sees their site is scoring perfect 100% on all Lighthouse tests, and their competitor is scoring a 70%, then we win, and the client has one less reason to leave. We even use this as a selling point to bring on new clients, because we have an absolutely untouchable page speed score compared to our competitors in this space.

I produce books[1] for Standard Ebooks.[2] I’ve got a fifty-long list of books-to-do-at some point, so grabbing transcriptions from Gutenberg and scans from archive.org for each would keep me busy for a long time, presumably long enough for the internet to heal whatever state it’s got itself into.

Very much agree with Erlang/Elixir. After years battling and hating the JVM, I was initially very put off by the existence of a VM (BEAM) and by how it forced the concurrency model on me, and it did make getting into serious development with it harder, but once I "got" it, it really blew my mind. The "let it fail" philosophy was particularly mindblowing to me (especially once I understood that it doesn't mean "don't do error handling").
Yeah, I find the complaint now kind of odd. I'm now able to use USB C for almost everything except a few older devices that we'll eventually fade out (a baby monitor... that's about it). I'm happy with the situation over all.

Cargo does not require internet access to compile. You need it just to download packages once (which you obviously do in any ecosystem). Cargo also cryptographically verifies that downloaded packages haven't been tampered with.

Affine types also help with credential checking! Newtype wrappers synergize really well with them. I wrote a post about some of this a few years ago: https://sunshowers.io/posts/types/

Two things here:

- clang and LLVM don't have that GCC quirk (LLVM support less platforms, so give gcc some credit)

- it was in apple's financial interest make sure their things are easy to cross-compile.

- linker job is extremely straighforward in case of iOS

- everything is provided by either apple or application developer
