If I’m looking for the 3rd position in decimal I ignore everything above and below the third position. Which you can do by taking modulo 1000 and dividing by 100, or dividing by 100 and taking modulo 10, which is easier to calculate in the moment. You don’t need any fixed point math just normal integer floor on division operations.

So why would it be different in ternary?

The React Compiler is currently in beta:

https://react.dev/blog/2024/10/21/react-compiler-beta-releas...

That said, it doesn't change the APIs included in React itself, or the overall usage patterns. Ultimately it rewrites your component code to add a lot of conditional comparisons to see if props or state values changed, and uses that to trigger React's existing rendering optimization behaviors.

Long-term, I expect that the React Compiler _will_ result in a significant change in the DX for using React. React's default behavior has always been "re-render recursively regardless of props changes" [0], but people often assume it's "only re-render the child if the props changed". React Compiler actually makes flips React's default behavior to make that a reality.

Strong disagree, it would be a great way to learn vanilla html/CSS/js without kneecapping yourself.
Vue is also nice.
const error = await updateName(newName);

Why would updateName return an error? Why not just throw an Error like JS/TS?
State governments already operate special rural transportation services, like busses or even volunteers. Think people who are sick/injured and can't get to healthcare services because they can't drive.

It's not unreasonable to me that they would subsidize robo-taxis for those services since they are already funding services that are expensive or inadequate. Especially if there is some give and take to be had with regulatory overhead for the taxi service.

Ah, different “action”, then? The presence of “reducer” had me assuming the action was also analogous.

FWIW I liked Redux enough that I once half-reimplemented it for Brightscript so the UI guys would have something familiar to work with when they had to touch Roku apps. I always taught Redux initially using different terminology, though, because I found that most of my time learning it (which, mercifully, still wasn’t that long, because it’s small and pretty sensible) was figuring out the vocabulary (“do… do they just mean ‘event’? Well if so surely they’d write ‘event’, so I must be wrong…”)
$200 / mo is leaving a lot of money on the table.

there are many who wouldn't bat an eye at $1k / month that guarantees most powerful AI (even if it's just 0.01% better than competition), and no limits on anything.

y'all are greatly underestimating the value of that feeling of (best + limitlessness). high performers make decisions very differently than the average HN user.
It's not about destroying the desire for profit.

It's about recognizing that you can't, and putting safeguards in place to ensure that even with that desire—even when it's so overriding that in other circumstances we might classify it as a mental illness—the amount of harm that can do to people is strictly limited.
That's a weird reaction. You're not getting any less for your $20.
In 2024, the average age of homebuyers hit a record high of 56.

This highlights how any statistic can be used to support a narrative.

For instance, while the national average for homeownership rates remains relatively stable, it now comes with the reality that people are working harder and longer to achieve it. On the flip side, homes today are often larger and more feature-rich than in the past, which some might argue offsets the challenge.

The real question is: which of these factors—delayed homeownership or improved home quality—has a greater impact on how people perceive their economic well-being?

So I absolutely deplore the "what's your point?" attempt to try to pretend that somebody you disagree with didn't actually have a point. In fact, I downvote it when I see it - if the point was clear, and someone asks "what's your point?", I downvote.

I'm not doing that. I really can't tell. Who are these people who want to ‘come take your suburban house away’, and how do they attempt to do so?

You seem to be referring to specific people in the Bay Area. I'm not in the Bay Area, and I don't really know the politics there as it relates to real estate. So, who specifically wants this, and what are they doing?
OpenAI is flying blind

They should have this tier earlier on, like any SaaS offering that had different plans

They focus too much on their frontend multimodal chat product, while also having this complex token pricing model for API users and we cant tell which one they are ever really catering towards with these updates

all while their chat system is buggy with its random disconnections and sessions updates, and produces tokens slowly in comparison to competitors like Claude

to finally come around and say pay us an order of magnitude more than Claude is just completely out of touch and looks desperate in the face of their potential funding woes
The $200/month price is steep but likely reflects the high compute costs for o1 Pro mode. For those in fields like coding, math, or science, consistent correct answers at the right time could justify the cost. That said, these models should still be treated as tools, not sources of truth. Verification remains key.
Yep. Svelte's SFC was inspired by Vue. If you like Vue you'll like Svelte which is familiar but adds a compiler for simpler syntax.
Yeah, I've switched to Anthropic fully as well for personal usage. It seems better to me and/or equivalent in all use cases.
With mass production attractive patterns were cheap for the flour companies - they were already pattering the sacs with the brand name so it was almost zero extra cost to put more pattern on the bag. If patterns actually costs them much they wouldn't have done it. People who have a choice between two $1 bags of flour will choose the nicer on for the nicer clothes they can make - but if one bag as $1.05 they would choose the cheaper one.
I think a big part of why UK washing machines aren't in bathrooms is our electrical regs, which don't allow plug sockets within three metres of a bath or shower. Most UK bathrooms aren't big enough for that, so you end up having to do awkward workarounds like giving them a hardwired connection and/or boxing the machine into a cupboard. (I used to own a flat where the only space to put the washing machine was the bathroom and had to get it boxed in...)
I recently got that boxed set for my son’s birthday. I think I’ve spent more time reading it than he has, though I’m sure he’ll get into it eventually.
It's funny to think back now that JSX had such a strong negative reaction on launch. That's the one thing from React I love - having a declarative and strongly typed markup for HTML in my JS/TS code.

I think React peaked with hooks around 2019. I write most of my front-end with the smallest 'React-like' library possible (Preact) using only functional components, and with as little 'magic' from useEffect etc. as possible.

I like to stay close to 'raw' HTML/CSS/JS when possible, but the web platform APIs are just a little to clunky and verbose for me without the JSX abstraction.
Imagine if HTML5 had an EoL.
> the disconnect here is you have a status quo biased thinking

No, the disconnect here is you're being quite rude here about this and projecting an identity on me that's not warranted. And now you're even putting words in my mouth.

> you're saying "oh we can't do that"

I never once made the claim. I just argued it wouldn't be "overnight".

None of my statements were about greenways or even about expanding the Metrorail. Just that adding additional capacity can and often does take a while to be approved, acquired, and put into service. Stating it can be done overnight is ignoring reality just as much as someone arguing the paint somehow wouldn't come out to paint a greenway.

I'm for them adding more trains and expanding the existing lines. I'm for the bus service outside my house being a lot better than it currently is. I'm also looking at the fact the cities around me are talking about slashing the funding instead of increasing it and seeing the people around me cheering for such an idea. Me thinking it can be improved overnight is a delusional thought given the realities of today. Thinking Tri-Rail can just snap their fingers and magically get approvals and sign contracts and get trains delivered overnight is also delusional.

Even if we somehow changed people's minds "overnight" to want to increase train service, it'll still take a few years to actually do all the process for acquiring and implementing the additional capacity. Governments almost always move slowly. Even when talking car infrastructure, something which generally is popular, it takes forever to put together the budget proposals, get the funding approved, get the bids together, purchase the materials, and actually get to work. They're still working on doing projects related to a road bond package in my city passed several years ago, and that's once again ignoring all the planning that went into it just to get the proposal together and get it passed.

None of this happens "overnight". Even just getting everything together to officially change the traffic patterns and put the paint down will take many months at the fastest. And that's assuming it's a popular decision.
what is the relevance of the quoted passage here? its relation to parent seems unclear to me.
Two observations:

1) The blanket warning for areas that are clearly outside inundation zones drives a lot of confusion/fear. We can vastly improve our warning infra by utilizing better geo data to drive more effective alerts. For example, Tsunami inundation zone data is well known. Why not send only to phones currently in and maybe within 250m of those zones?

2) A lot of 'am I in a tsunami inundation zone?' sites were broken when I checked. them. Official government sites too. Of course that could be a function of traffic, but if so, it demonstrates a lack of resilience in their systems. We need better.

Show HN: Bountyboard, largest open source bounty database
Hi there,

Over the past year, I've been actively involved in various open source projects and have successfully completed numerous bounties.

One of the biggest challenge I encountered was locating high-quality, well-paying bounties. Many of these bounties tend to be scattered in different places or managed in unconventional ways.

To address this issue, I created a centralized dashboard to assist bounty hunters like myself in easily discovering open source bounties.

I welcome any feedback or suggestions!

> consistent repair support

The lack of repairability is easily Apple's worst quality. They do everything in their power to prevent you from repairing devices by yourself or via 3rd party shops. When you take it to them to repair, they often will charge you more than the cost of a new device.

People buy apple devices for a variety of reasons; some people believe in a false heuristic that Apple devices are good for software engineering. Others are simply teenagers who don't want to be the poor kid in school with an Android. Conspicuous consumption is a large part of Apple's appeal.

In any system with a limited resource you will need some way to triage care and allocate it appropriately.

In a private system, those with money can prioritize themselves over those without it. In the US this results in huge numbers of people who lack basic care, and a small group of people who can pay large sums for care with diminishing returns. Consequently, Americans live shorter lives than Canadians.

What you are describing is a law that prevents a person from paying to skip other people in line. It seems like a pretty good idea to me.
i'm no expert on this but i thought the military buys a bunch of stuff from them because there's no other choice, right? and all those airlines, their only other choice is airbus.

With recent earthquakes and tsunami warnings, real-time data is more relevant than ever. So, we built a custom data app in minutes using the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program API using Preswald built by
@StructuredLabs

1⃣ Ingestion -- With comment-driven code, we connected to the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program API. Preswald generated the necessary Python code to ingest data with dlt and store it locally in a postgres instance.

2⃣ Transformation -- Preswald surfaced schema definitions and pre-suggested SQL transformations like seismic hotspots and earthquake frequency. Want to analyze trends by region or time? A few clicks, and you're there.

3⃣ Orchestration -- We configured a pipeline to refresh the data every 5 minutes and validate schema changes. Real-time data? Covered. Schema safety? Automatic.

4⃣ Visualization -- In seconds, Preswald generated the code for a Python-based interactive app—complete with a map to visualize seismic activity. Whether in VSCode or localhost, insights were live with minimal friction.

From API connection to live visualization, this was built entirely with code, in a fraction of the time it would typically take. Preswald automates the repetitive parts of building data apps while keeping developers in the driver’s seat.
Ditto for other use cases, like writer and editor. There are a ton of people doing that work whom I don’t think are ever going to figure out how to use LLMs well. Like, 90% of them. And LLMs are nowhere near making the rest so much better that they can make up for that.

They’re ok for Tom the Section Manager to hack together a department newsletter nobody reads, though, even if Tom is bad at using LLMs. They’re decent at things that don’t need to be any good because they didn’t need to exist in the first place, lol.
Thanks! I'm not an iOS user, but I'll look into it.
Yeah I'm getting kubernetes vibes from all the abstractions mentioned in a single sentence. I'm sure the abstractions are needed and/or powerful to accomplish React's goals, but it's just a bunch of extra stuff added to the learning curve which makes it harder for outsiders to understand and contribute to the code.
Exactly, and rightfully so. It just looks weird having it around the waist.
Thank you! I always feel so weird to actually use chatgpt without any major issues while so many people keep on claiming how awful it is; it's like people want it 100% perfect or nothing. For me if it gets me 80% there in 1/10 the time, and then I do the final 20%, that's still heck of a productivity boost basically for free.
Personal tastes and preferences and opinions aside, clothing is a pretty important aspect of communicating. Easy reference point is Mean Girls: On Wednesdays, we wear pink. In that scenario its simply a means of communicating conformity and support for the group. Seasonal tastes change because tastemakers set them, and people who want to be in the zeitgeist follow suit.

And even in sub-cultures where one is just trying to communicate their distaste in fashion, there are usually unofficial dress codes. At nerdier conventions I typically see screen t-shirts riddled with pop culture references, or standard issue polos + khakis that communicate a sort of "I'm professional and I don't want to overthink my wardrobe". They're also the only place I see utility kilts, which definitely communicates something.

Einstein famously had several copies of the same outfit, because he didn't want to think about dressing, but he found one that worked for him. And I've seen several engineers copy this approach - communicating efficiency and I'd argue at least some desire to emulate an Einstein.
C++ is certainly a feasible choice. You can do anything at all in C++ but you may or may not do it correctly. That kind of terminal gun defense system has hard real time requirements (e.g. Patriot could wait 0.2 sec to launch an anti-missile, whereas a hypersonic missile might travel 0.5 km in that time which is about 1/3 the effective range of a gun like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS

You could do it in Rust or do it in ADA but people know how to build that kind of thing in C++. It is probably a lot like a video game with a core written in C++ but with a scripting layer.

I'd make the argument that only some parts of certain AA systems are hard real time. High performance (in terms of distant and AA and ABM systems like Patriot and S-400 use a track-via-missile strategy that requires close coordination between the missile and the ground radar and that whole loop would be hard real time. (Jamming the comm link is an effective countermeasure about that kind of thing plus the ground radar is a great visible target) Other aspects of the system like the UI and executive control (do I shoot?) are not so hard real time as the engagement time is much longer than the close in systems.

Other systems like NASAMS depend on missiles that have an internal GPS/INS and a seeker that will go to some coordinates and then acquire the target. Systems like that don't work very well unless you update the coordinates based on radar or other information periodically, but if they do systems like this can be highly effective (in terms of hit rate) against low performance aircraft and cruise missile. They can also turn the radar off to avoid being targeted, will have the missile complete the intercept if they get hit, etc. That kind of system doesn't have particularly harsh real time requirements.

Jeff says as much. The AMD EPYC core does offer better performance per watt, which says more about AMD than it does about Ampere.

But also this: "The big difference is the AmpereOne A192-32X is $5,555, while the EPYC 9965 is almost $15,000!"

So you have to look at TCO over a period of years, but that's still quite significant.
