Not sure if you're trolling or seriously underinformed. Firstly, since when is building compute clouds manufacturing?

More to the point though, a large portion of manufacturing machinery is in fact build in Germany and the Netherlands (ASML is probably the most famous example, but others include Festo, Bosch ...), you'll find hardly an advanced production line which doesn't run on machines build in Europe. Interestingly most of the companies behind this are smaller size businesses, it seems like the European business sphere does not tend so much toward large corporates (although I could be wrong here, I have not seen any statistics).
Part of the problem is the whole "In the long run, we're all dead" thing. If things are going to be bad for the next 30 years, that's most of the rest of my useful life. If my life leading up to this point was miserable and the rest of my life is going to be as bad or worse, then I'm not sure I care how things will be in 200 years.

`attr()` has had terrible support which is a shame because it's been around for ages and could have let us do a lot of things without having to implement stuff manually.

There's another way to try it though...

I'd try putting two separate <span>s inside each option, one for the short description and one for the long description.

I'd hide one span with css if it was inside an <option> tag.

I'd hide the other span if it was inside a <selectedoption> tag.

That would probably work.

The papercut would be that when gracefully degrading back to an ordinary select element, it might show both the short and the long selections which depending on how you write the content may or may not be an issue.

Apple has convinced a lot of people through sheer PR force that they are 100% trustworthy and therefore all of their restrictions and self-bypasses of those restrictions are warranted. Either all of it is OK, or none of it is, unless Apple enjoys getting it wrong and getting fined.

They're surprisingly robust given how old they are (1790s) and they cost about the same amount in todays disposable income as their face value, but obviously I paid for them as a collectable, not as a negotiable bond of value. I think if I presented one at the french national bank they'd decline to convert to euros but at scale, a conversion factor from many former currencies exist: Certainly pre-euro Franc conversion rates are maintained because debt denominated in Franc still exists. Thats the new franc, not the old devalued one, which was I think the third or fourth run at a franc because it kept losing value. (do NOT mention the lire)

The EU is a greater share of global manufacturing than the US [1]. Are you comparing real manufacturing to cloud/search providers, GPUs, and generative AI that has shown questionable value? Airbus has an order book ~11 years long and Boeing is hanging on by a thread. Rheinmetall, Germany's largest defense company, is worth more than VW (as mentioned in this piece). The giga press hardware manufactured for Tesla was built by Idra Group in Italy.

I somewhat chuckle at the idea that they should be spitting out GPUs instead of electric vehicles, defense hardware, and aircraft (both civilian and military).

> Does it interact with the borrow checker somehow?

Nope. The borrow checker cares about the control flow graph, expression vs statement doesn't matter.

> why does Rust make the expression/statement distinction?

I am not 100% sure. If I had to guess, older Rust was much less expression oriented, and then, over time, got moreso.

But also, I think it kinda just makes sense in general for the kind of language Rust is. Like, in Ruby, where everything truly is an expression, importing a file and then evaluating it has side effects. Whereas in Rust, 95% of statements are declarations, and of those 95%, the only ones you really use in a normal execution context are let statements. The rest are stuff like "declaring functions" and "declaring structs" and those don't really get evaluated in a language like Rust.

let being a statement is nice because it means it can only happen at the "top level" of a block, and not say, inside a loop condition.
> Jordan Bardella is going to take her place and most likely win in 2027. He is well liked by people, he is young and he doesn't have a political legacy.

Considering Bardella past debating performance, this seems highly unlikely to me. The RN always polls high when they can stay silent and represent an easy way to express opposition. Sadly, this doesn’t remain possible during the presidential election where they actually have to defend a program.

Bardella will most likely be skewered alive by any competent opponent if he is the appointed candidate and manages to pass the first round (two big if).

Allegedly, and even then only sometimes.
You can get unintended consequences from this, like forcing the increase of nepotism. If you look at South Korea, for instance, the Chaebol, despite facing some of the highest inheritance taxes in the world, still have a grip on power.

How? You keep the kids in management, you encourage lots of cross holdings between corporations so that even though the kids’ share falls, you enforce power through social contracts in the upper strata of classes that is horrible for shareholders and innovation as a society.

That said Porsche indeed is an exceptional company in many ways in both the innovative end as well as their holdings structure.

Luckily for her, pardons are on sale now.
I just played for a few minutes and loved it. Chess variants can sometimes take too long to understand the rules so this was great (excellent ux). I think I'd have liked it a bit more if you get captured (lose and restart) when you move on a square that's being attacked (rather than losing a point).

I also enjoyed how it got a bit harder as the levels went on. And also how a stray pawn/piece might act as a hint (i.e. to capture on that square) - a bit like how side scrolling and adventure games might leave a trail of rings/bananas/collectables to guide the player along a desired path where it otherwise may not be obvious.

>Golf is essentially a single player game that you play against yourself.

With modern golf, yes. This is only because of the advent of television. Match-play used to dominate the game, and is still advocated my many (myself included), which allows direct competition, and introduces risk-reward strategy depending on how the other player plays.

Thank you. My day job is as an engineer in manufacturing so I felt like I had a unique opportunity to "build what I know" and have seen people use and enjoy.

It's a worthwhile project to build yourself. If nothing else I found out that I definitely do not like the date-fns library in JavaScript. I built it using AWS Amplify, and although I like that it scales to zero, but I think there are too many gotchas to Amplify, and especially DynamoDB, for a startup app that you want to move quickly on. I wrote up one of the major ones after I got really frustrated. [1]

Like I said in my original post, I am trying to figure out how to get it in front of the right people (who are less likely to be on HN). I have kind of decided that the B2C sales experience is not great unless you get a critical mass; my experience doing sales in manufacturing is working the booth at trade shows, talking to people about engineering, and using our process tools to develop a solution to the customer's problem. The more scattered "compete for attention" advertising/promotion sales model doesn't seem great unless you have a lot of money behind it.

I'm rambling, but if anyone likes this or feels it needs a certain feature, feel free to reach out. If you're in Boston / Providence I'll happily grab a drink with you.

I don't know if Java serialization supports this kind of thing, but if you have object A has a pointer to object B and vice-versa, there's no order to deserialize them without passing through a partially-initialized state that preserves the object identity relationship. I suppose you can't construct this kind of loopy references graph with final fields without reflection in the first place, so it's kindof chicken and egg. For the very common case of DAG-shaped data or formats that don't support references I think the one-shot internal constructor works though.

The meta analysis you linked ( https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/... ) specifically denies any noticable associations with fluoride at the levels recommended in countries that add fluoride to water.

For fluoride measured in water, associations remained inverse when exposed groups were restricted to less than 4 mg/L or less than 2 mg/L but not when restricted to less than 1.5 mg/L

There were limited data and uncertainty in the dose-response association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ when fluoride exposure was estimated by drinking water alone at concentrations less than 1.5 mg/L.

The meta analysis you linked gets the strongest results in areas of the world with outstandingly high levels of fluoride and other elements in the ground water .. water with so many additives it rings like a bell when tapped with a hammer (okay, that's an embellishment).

Show HN: Toddler Night Routine Manager
Hello,

So here is the problem I wanted to solve for my wife and myself with our toddler:

- Who does the night routine tonight ?

- How to manage that with evening activities ?

- How to keep it fair ?

So I built a small Go application meant to be selfhosted and fully integrated with Google Calendar.

The app will create day event telling which parent turn is it to do the night routine, you can also configure what days each parent in unavailable. The app will take care of create a schedule that is fair to both parent and avoid unbalanced time.

Also, you can directly go in Google Calendar to override any event created to give it to another parent, the app will then recalculate the folow-up assignment to keep everything fair.

I provide a docker image, docker compose and explanation on how to get your API Keys for Google Console.

It's either that, or get denied. Interestingly enough, however, it's quite easy to "prepare" for a phone search in advance since border agents can only search the actual content of your phone.

It is a very hidden feature though. You have to link your kids account to yours, and then in the Youtube mobile app (not on the web), you can click the three dots button and then share > "with kids"

So that way you can build up a whitelist of channels that they can see in the YT kids account.
