I am continually impressed with Laravel. I have been using Django since 2008 and if I were starting a simple CRUD app I would consider Laravel before Django if I didn’t need anything Python specific. And with sqlc I would probably pick Go over both if I was forced to have a SPA pattern.
As I revisit, this also comes up more explicitly when dealing with lifetimes as a type, and stacked borrows.

The entire Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) applies to everyone, not just citizens.

The Bill of Rights never mentions citizens. It was formulated as a set of restrictions on what the federal government is allowed to do. The government shall not censor opinions. The government shall not establish a national religion. The government shall not jail anyone without due process. And so on. The Bill of Rights doesn't contain any clause like, "... except for non-citizens."

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

At some point you have to be brave and face your fears. If you do not, then the light slowly dies and the darkness grows. By putting your head down and hiding you protect yourself but empower the very thing you are hiding from. It is a classic fallacy as you are taking short term rewards at a much higher cost in the long run. What you gain you borrow from the future, interest applies.

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

I’m ok with that general idea. I’d like to see a lot more people worth 10-100 million, and less people worth 10-100billion, and I think there’s too much wealth being generated from financial games, and not enough from creating valuable goods and services, thus my particular concern about Musk going into the SEC.

Petroleum - oil and gas - changed the world for the better. Not without creating other issues, but the dramatic increase in crop yields and overall standards of living, and dramatic decrease in famine are irrefutable.

I feel like Google is using a lossy backend for searching now. Sometimes I'll search some rare phrase that I know must exist somewhere, and Yandex (and often Bing) will turn up exact matches from some random blogs/forums, while Google will return zero results. If it's some kind of LLM-style memory it'd explain why Google can't find some rare terms. Or maybe Google thinks it's better to show no results than results from low traffic domains?

I feel like there’s this assumption from Rust enthusiasts that Rust will supersede all other languages and tools. While it’s cool that these things are being done, it’s not enough to show that it will become a major game programming language. Especially due to how mature and sophisticated other tools are in comparison to the Rust tools.
Lifetimes are the only subtyping relationship in Rust, yes.
It's more straightforward to call a sync function from an async function than the other way around. That's a pretty uncontroversial statement. Adding async support to a library doesn't mean starting starting over.

As they well should.

Also, I think it's important to say that ECS is not the only composition option, you can just use "EC" (or also CES): while on ECS the behavior runs on systems, on "EC"/"CES" the behavior runs on components, which is the case on Unity (by default) and O3DE.

I believe the mentioned Scott Bilas famous talk about composition follows this "EC" model instead of ECS, except that he calls it Game Object instead of Entity.
I think so as I just saw this on their jobs website:

Seeing where stuff is in a search function is not a "power user" feature; it's the whole point of what you're doing.

And I don't buy the "keeping things simple" excuse for secret hotkeys in other areas. Falling back on gimmicks like undisplayed hotkeys and "long presses" and "gestures" is lazy abandonment of the design task.

I hate this "saving the user from complexity" lie. It's hypocritical: The "non-power" user isn't going to go looking for these options in the first place.

Finder search is a great example. A "non-power" user isn't going to right-click on the column headings in the results and try to add "path" as a column. So how does it help that user to deny everyone else the ability to add it?

Apple mocked IBM for needing a thick user manual back in the day. To suggest that anyone (especially anyone on this site) should have to read documentation to use perform a basic file search (in a GUI, no less) is apologism to the extreme.

Given the GFW and walls placed against foreign companies operating in China, there's a good chance that a lot of developers in China are more or less duplicating the work of what western firms do but highly localized for the Chinese domestic market. Pretty much impossible to know either.

Ultimately / objectively I agree, but subjectively I'm not so sure -- I recently gave NVIDIA GeForce NOW a whirl (cloud gaming, $19.99/month (cheaper prepaid) for an 'Ultimate' account which instantly connects you to an RTX 4080 VM + HDR + max 240fps) and it just works. Super smooth, realtime gameplay at max graphics.

I wanted to test it out given that my son was looking to upgrade his PC and not only are component costs through the roof, there's barely any inventory to be had if you were trying to buy exactly what you want! (thanks, resellers...)

It's not a perfect setup obviously -- really only ideal for AAA games with cloud saves, no mods, etc (Cyberpunk 2077, that kind of thing), and I won't make the argument that it's ultimately better than local for gaming (it's not), but I will say that in my experience, the hardware-rendered framerates are through the roof, it streams seamlessly at high resolution, and I could see envision a scenario where video editing on an appropriate VM should be virtually indistinguishable from local.

Just food for thought!

This is true of being wrong, and problems, and lacking rationality - those are all incidental necessities in a world where we have something to do: otherwise we'd be like Q from Star Trek, stuck in his heaven at the end of time, with no remaining purpose except to mess with Picard's head.

But is it true of suffering? That seems possible, but not obvious. I think it implies that suffering evolves with culture. Like I got cake crumbs on my silk sheets! Such discomfort! How I suffer! ... in this way "suffering" just means viscerally-felt problems that we didn't choose, and it's plausibly an eternal part of existing in a physical world with problems to solve - if we can't manipulate all upcoming problems to be always fun.

Ensuring all problems are always fun probably entails seeing into the future, and wouldn't be possible. So, OK, I'll buy it, suffering is a side effect of living well.

Kind of raises the question of how much we can reduce suffering, though - if at all. Is there a particular percentage of the time that an average human spends suffering, whether in ancient times or today or in the future?

You can provide lots of stuff yourself if the state abandons the whole idea of public health. Of course, be prepared for your taxes and/or insurance going up to cover your neighbors who don't pay for the same preventative care.
Birthright citizenship has been enshrined in the US Constitution for nearly 160 years.

Calling it into question is a massive attack on the basic Constitutional framework of the country, and will immediately affect tens of millions of Americans. Are you a citizen? Sorry, you'll have to prove that your parents were citizens, and that their parents were citizens, and that their parents were citizens. It's a nightmare.
This is very interesting for greenfield work, but would be a pig to implement in a large brownfield application - because it requires you to design your production code to include all of these hooks, and to manually implement stubs and wrapper code for every third-party dependency.

The 'performance' gain promised by this is one I can't take seriously. Computers are fast, and test execution is parallelizable. I really don't care if spinning up a mock in a test 0.0005 ms, or 0.5ms. Any mental effort I have to expend to go from one to the other is absolutely not worth it.

Especially when 99.99% of my test runtime is spent on the kind of E2E tests that this would not help with (Because I actually want to verify production behavior - not the behavior of my fake implementations).
I was concerned that I would still be semi-reliant on Google Search for things like local business opening hours etc. While it's true that Kagi doesn't return that stuff at the top of a search (I'm outside the US so YMMV), in practice it's been a non-issue because the top result—rather than an ad or some AI nonsense—is just that business' website. So at most it's one extra click.

I don't think I've deliberately done a Google search since I signed up, apart from to check that the !g option works as expected with the Safari extension (c'mon Apple, support custom search engines already)
Google results are customized based on location, profile, ad settings, what random experiments you happen to get enrolled in, etc. Reality is indeed being bent, but only inside the personal search bubbles that you, the author, and every Google user lives in.

But if you are more worried about authorities making your life difficult, because they don't like you, burner devices may just make your situation worse.

Ask HN: Data Usage for Family Exploding
How do people manage their household reams of data that our family generates?

Each family member has their own laptops and phones, and take dozens of high resolution images every week, school presentations and projects, receipts, and tax documents, videos -- lots of videos.

As a family of 5 with 2 working parents, I'm not really monitoring data use and want a mostly hands off solution to their data storage. And every new phone has a higher resolution camera though maybe JPEGXL will help us there.

We pay for 2TB of icloud data, but I am already eyeing upgrading to 6TB -- but that adds another $22/month. Moving to other cloud providers may save somewhat, but then its another management of a cloud ecosystem, and I know my family will mostly stick to icloud.

On a side note, we store alot of data on google drive too, and google takeout fails everytime I try to download a 50GB file -- so really its trapped there?! All of these have a lockin factor since with more and more data its a huge effort to export!
Impressive creation. Could most of this functionality be put in an app that could run on an unused phone? If so, this idea could spread much more widely.
As the saying goes, it's the dose that makes the poison.

Vitamin D is also quite toxic, would you celebrate banning that as well?

We do not have a left. I honestly am impressed at the system that has somehow made the democrats seem like "the left".

They're quite literally right wing politicians. Their primary difference with Republicans are that "we have a good thing going for our pockets right now, let's not shock the boat too much."

There are _exceptions_ to democrats that may be considered _slightly left_, but those are exceptions. Not the norm.
